I am the carpenter king

Chapter 254 Reinforcements are coming

There was no one in the entire Ming Dynasty who didn't know what the Forbidden City was for, and all officials in the Ming Dynasty didn't know what the Wenyuan Pavilion in the southeast corner of the Forbidden City was.In the Forbidden City lived the emperor, and in the Wenyuan Pavilion sat the great scholars.

In the southwest corner of the Forbidden City is the same row of buildings, but unlike the Wenyuan Pavilion in the southeast corner, there is nothing special here.But at this time, a group of people gathered here. Emperor Tianqi had someone prepare this place a day ago, and they are cleaning it up at this time.

The main building in this area is Shuxiang Hall, which was originally a place for concubines to live in, but Emperor Tianqi had the sign removed.The entire building complex is arranged in the same way as Wenyuan Pavilion, except that there is a sign missing on the main building.

Everyone was curious about what Emperor Tianqi wanted to do, but no one asked.Emperor Apocalypse was only rebuilding the palace, and it was not a large-scale construction project, so he had no reason to participate in impeachment and persuasion.If it is not done well, it will definitely be a coquettish outfit, and it will make Emperor Tianqi feel unhappy. No one will go back to do such a thankless thing.

Since Emperor Tianqi cleaned up the Donglin Party, very few people in the court were willing to bear the imperial cane as before.After all, the bottom of the body is not clean, if Emperor Tianqi finds a reason to kill him, it is really not worth it.After what happened last time, the ministers also understood that this young emperor is not easy to be fooled, he is a master who does not play cards according to common sense.If it is head-to-head, it will be the courtiers like myself who always put themselves on the commanding heights of morality, but now the new emperor likes to put himself on the commanding heights when doing things.If it was a minister like Hai Rui, he might be able to challenge the emperor, but how many Hai Ruis are there in the dynasty?

Looking at the busy staff of the Ministry of Industry, Emperor Tianqi turned his head and said to Wang Chengen: "Let them speed up the progress, and they must finish it within a month, and everything will be done according to the pattern of Wenyuan Pavilion!"

"Yes. Your Majesty, I will be watching!" Wang Chengen bowed to Emperor Tianqi and said respectfully.

Since Emperor Tianqi was reshaped last time (Wang Chengen thinks so), Emperor Tianqi seems to be a different person, and he can't see the original greenness and immaturity anymore.Although the face is still the same as before, the look and temperament are different.In particular, Emperor Tianqi's eyes became deep and sharp, making people afraid to look at them.When Wang Chengen looked at Emperor Tianqi before, he could still think of Emperor Tianqi when he was a child, but since the last time, except for his appearance, Emperor Tianqi seems to be a different person.Wang Chengen knew that this is an emperor, a real emperor, not an emperor in the simple sense, this is an emperor.

Nodding his head slowly, Emperor Tianqi pondered for a while.He said softly: "The entire palace cost a lot and wasted a lot. Many of them were embezzled by the eunuchs, and the people in the palace probably took me as a fool."

Regarding Emperor Tianqi's words, Wang Cheng'en really didn't know what to say, such things in the palace really existed.But in the past, it was all taken care of by eunuchs trusted by the emperor, and the emperor didn't care, or was deceived.But seeing the appearance of Emperor Apocalypse.Wang Chengen knew that someone might suffer.

After pondering for a while, Emperor Tianqi continued: "I will entrust you with an errand today. Check the expenses in the palace for me, and don't spend anything that shouldn't be spent. As long as there are internal eunuchs colluding with outside businessmen, they will use it as a substitute. Alright, those who raise the price will be severely punished by me. The eunuchs will be executed directly, and the merchants will raid their homes. I will never tolerate it. Clean up the palace for me. In the future, the expenses in the palace can be relaxed, but all the purchases will be done. Hand it over to Long Chang."

Emperor Tianqi has been thinking about this matter for a long time. He has always wanted to support the Longchang, not because he wants to make money, but because it will be of great use in the future.

Longchanghao is now a big business.There are not many that can be compared in the whole capital, but this is not enough.What Emperor Tianqi wants to have is a large-scale trust. Only when all the channels for smuggling and big businessmen to make money are in their hands, will they be obedient.As the saying goes, blocking is worse than sparse, arresting and killing them all may not be the best way, it is a good idea to pull a batch and fight a batch.

"Yes, Your Majesty! I know, and I must not disappoint Your Majesty." Wang Chengen was slightly shocked. Sure enough, someone was going to be unlucky, but it seemed that he had to be a villain again.Regarding Emperor Tianqi's thoughts, Wang Cheng'en understood that he was the Wei Dynasty back then, and only by doing something can he be qualified to occupy a certain position.

The Wei Dynasty started killing in the palace, and after the incident, he immediately became the eunuch of Bingbi, the supervisor of ceremonies, and the admiral of Dongchang by order. His status in the palace may be second only to Wang An.Even Chen Hong, who was favored by Emperor Tianqi, was inferior to the Wei Dynasty in terms of status.

After Wang Cheng'en came to Emperor Tianqi's side, although he was the chief executive in name, he didn't have the seat of chief inspector, so he always felt worse.However, Wang Chengen believes that as long as the matter is done well this time, the position of supervisor of ceremonies will come.

Nodding in satisfaction, Emperor Tianqi said with a smile: "As the chief executive, I trust you very much. You are also a person hired by the previous emperor, and I have nothing to say about this time. If you finish your errands, I will give you the seat of Eunuch Bingbi, Supervisor of Rituals, and no one else has anything to say!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, I will do my best!" Hearing Emperor Tianqi's words, Wang Chengen quickly fell to his knees and said respectfully.

"Get up! I don't know if the Qianqing Palace is ready, go back with me and have a look!" Waving his hand calmly, Emperor Tianqi said in a flat tone.

Taking Wang Cheng'en back to Qianqing Palace, watching the people rushing in and out, Emperor Tianqi walked into the hall slowly.There is already something extra behind the pillar on the right side of the main hall. It is a huge wooden frame, and in the center of the wooden frame is a huge map.The entire map is as high as two people piled up, and the width is one more person than the height. This is the territory map of the Ming Dynasty.

"Your Majesty!" Yuan Yingtai said respectfully, saluting Emperor Tianqi.Although he didn't know what Emperor Tianqi was going to do, but it was personally assigned by Emperor Tianqi, so Yuan Yingtai naturally had to try his best to do it.

Looking at the map in front of him, Emperor Tianqi nodded slowly, and said in a deep voice, "It's better to make it bigger!"

"Your Majesty is saying that this map is not big enough?" Yuan Yingtai who was standing aside was slightly taken aback. This is already the largest map that the Ministry of Industry can find.This is still the map from the time of Chengzu. The Ministry of Industry calibrated the place names and inaccurate places on it, and then rubbed it down.

Gently shaking his head, Emperor Tianqi said with a smile: "What I said is that the territory of the Ming Dynasty should be bigger. If my youth ascends the throne, if I don't have the power to expand the territory and expand the land, I'm sorry Ancestors and ancestors!"

"Your Majesty is holy!" Yuan Yingtai hurriedly said respectfully after being slightly taken aback.

Slowly walked to the front of the map, took the thin wooden pole on one side, pointed to the position of Zunhua, and said with a serious face: "Sun Aiqing should come here soon, I hope I can win all battles, and this time Get rid of all those who built slaves. Tell Jiannu, we are not easy to mess with!"

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, Lord Sun is both wise and courageous. The last battle in Shenyang, Lord Sun was planning a strategy, and this time is no exception. The emperor only needs to wait for the good news in the palace. I believe the good news will come soon." Standing Yuan Yingtai, who was on the side, said with a smile on his face.Although there was an element of flattery in it, he didn't think that Sun Chengzong would be defeated. Sun Chengzong was not Yang Hao.With [-] against [-], even an idiot can win, let alone a master of war like Sun Chengzong.Of course, if it's Yang Gao's kind of idiot who divides the army, it goes without saying, he must be defeated.

Looking at Yuan Yingtai, Emperor Tianqi also smiled and said: "Since Aiqing said so, if this time I really won all the battles, I will also give you some credit."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Yuan Yingtai said with a smile after bowing to Emperor Tianqi.

Slowly nodded, Emperor Tianqi looked at Shandong's position again, and said with a serious face: "I don't know how the situation in Shandong is. Xiong Wencan said that the situation has stabilized when he came to the memorial. Didn't say. I didn't expect Xiong Aiqing to have such a trick, I really didn't expect it."

"Your Majesty, I know a little about Mr. Xiong. He is a very good person. It can be said that the mountain has collapsed and his color has not changed. If there is no major event, he will not get anything useful." Seeing Emperor Tianqi talking about Xiong Wencan, Yuan Yingtai said with a smile.

Not knowing whether to smile, Emperor Tianqi thought of another person, that is Xu Xianchun, the Jinyiwei Tongzhi who he sent to Shandong, who was in charge of the Nanzhen Fusi.Since the last report, there was no news of Xu Xianchun from Luo Sigong again.In the heart of Emperor Tianqi, Xu Xianchun still has some status. Although Luo Sigong also has skills, Emperor Tianqi still doesn't want him to do things that are too offensive.Xu Xianchun is naturally the best candidate, with a heavy heart for power, very hot methods, and using everything to the extreme.Emperor Tianqi has always believed that such a person would naturally have his uses, and naturally he should be well cultivated.As for Wei Zhongxian, Emperor Tianqi didn't dare to keep it, because the reputation of nine thousand years old is too great, it seems that being famous is not necessarily a good thing.

Xu Xianchun, who was thought of by Emperor Tianqi, was in a bloody battle, and he didn't care to stop the blood on his waist. After taking a cloth strip and tightening it, he went into battle again.After an unknown amount of time, Xu Xianchun felt that there were more and more rebels on the city wall.

Liu Xunjian laughed and came to Xu Xianchun's side. He was also covered in blood, his face was pale, and he was obviously injured.Holding Xu Xianchun up, Liu Xunjian said loudly: "My lord, our reinforcements are here!" (To be continued...)
