I am the carpenter king

In the first year of Tianqi, on the sixth day of the eighth month, it is advisable to start demolition and relocation, and avoid weddings and funerals.

The sun has not yet risen, the sky has just dawned, and the bells and drums are already ringing in the Forbidden City.Such a voice reminded the emperor and officials of the Ming Dynasty that the early dynasty had begun and it was time for them to go to work.

After Emperor Tianqi put on his dragon robe, he looked back at Empress Zhang and said with a smile, "I didn't expect Baozhu to come here yesterday, so it might be a little late, and now I leave so early, Baozhu didn't sleep well. Wait." Now that I'm gone, Baozhu is having a good sleep."

"What is the emperor talking about? As the emperor's queen, the concubine is naturally a husband and wife. But the emperor will come over in the future, so I will send a message in advance to get up and get ready." While tidying up the collar of Emperor Tianqi, Empress Zhang Said with a smile.

Looking at Empress Zhang with a smile, Emperor Tianqi pinched her petite nose behind him, and jokingly said, "What do you want Baozhu to prepare?"

"Don't tell your majesty, this is a concubine's secret." Empress Zhang gave Emperor Tianqi a charming look, and said with a reddish face.

Listening to the bells and drums outside, Emperor Tianqi said helplessly: "No wonder the former emperors of the Ming Dynasty didn't like to go to the morning court. It's too early. I think the morning court should be changed to the afternoon, and it's called the afternoon court."

"Your majesty can't say that. When the sun rises in the early court, it means the rising sun, which symbolizes the prosperity of our Ming Dynasty. The day's plan is in the morning, and it makes sense to put the morning court in the morning. If it is true according to what the emperor said Putting the court meeting in the afternoon, what happened?" Seeing Emperor Tianqi looking straight at her, Empress Zhang stuck out her tongue lightly, and said coquettishly: "Your Majesty, that's what I said about my concubine. Don't take it personally. In the evening, I will make the emperor's favorite sweet-scented osmanthus porridge for the emperor. Is it my apology?"

Seeing Queen Zhang looking at herself expectantly.Emperor Tianqi reached out and tapped Empress Zhang's forehead, and said with a smile: "That's what I said, you just said so much, you really look like a queen."

"Your Majesty, it will be the Mid-Autumn Festival soon, and the palace is preparing for the festival. This time, the Shandong rebellion has been subdued. Liaodong has established new achievements, and Sun Chengzong and Mr. Sun are also reporting success. The Queen Mother asked my concubine whether this year's Mid-Autumn Festival will be celebrated. Have a fun time?" Seeing that Emperor Tianqi was not angry, Empress Zhang quickly changed the subject.

Nodding his head slowly, Emperor Tianqi also felt that it should be, indeed, the morale of the people should be boosted.However, it might be troublesome to do things. He lowered his head and thought about it. Emperor Tianqi said with a smile: "In the palace, you just watch and prepare! Baozhu is a bit more tiring, as for the outside. I will think about it again."

"Well, I understand." Empress Zhang took away the things after Emperor Tianqi's washing, smiled, and said in a cheerful tone.

"I'm leaving, Baozhu will lie on the bed for a while!" Emperor Tianqi said in a caring tone while looking at Empress Zhang while walking out.

Nodding slowly, Queen Zhang smiled calmly.Said softly: "The concubine will go now, the emperor will go to court!"

"The emperor is here!" accompanied by Wang Chengen's shout.Emperor Tianqi walked into the Huangji Hall slowly.Looking at the ministers below, Emperor Tianqi had a smile on his mouth, obviously he was in a very good mood.

Ever since I came to this world, I have always wanted to be an emperor, and now I just have the appearance of an emperor.

Slowly walk to the back of the Long Shuan.Slowly sitting on the chair, Emperor Tianqi gently stroked the golden faucet, feeling a burst of high spirits in his heart.I am in charge of the whole world, and I am the world.

"Long live my emperor! Long live!"

Amidst the courtiers' worship, Emperor Tianqi looked ahead with piercing eyes.Holding the golden faucet firmly with both hands.

"Everyone loves you." Gently raising his hand, Emperor Tianqi said in a flat voice.

However, the ministers below were taken aback, the voice of Emperor Tianqi remained unchanged, and the tone of his speech was very gentle.But everyone felt that Emperor Tianqi seemed to have changed a little, his words were full of the majesty of a superior, and no one was allowed to question what he said.

Many ministers knew in their hearts that this young emperor was growing at an inhuman speed.If Emperor Apocalypse only inherited the throne from his ancestors, then he just now has the appearance of an emperor.However, many ministers have higher expectations for Emperor Tianqi in their hearts, hoping that Emperor Tianqi will one day rule the world, submit to the world, and become a real Zhongxing Mingjun, an emperor through the ages.

When everyone stood up, Emperor Tianqi smiled calmly, and said in a brisk tone: "My dear friends, the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon. I wonder if you have any good news for me?"

"Report to Your Majesty, I have my own report." As soon as Emperor Tianqi finished speaking, an old man on the side stood up, bowed to Emperor Tianqi, and said respectfully.

Emperor Tianqi looked at the speaker. He was an old man with gray hair, and he looked a little older.However, no one in the court would think that he was relying on his official position, because his status in the court was so high that Sun Chengzong would feel that he was a little bit worse when he met him.

This person is Guozijian Jijiu ** Chen, Guozijian Jijiu is only a third rank, and his status in the entire court is not high.But ** Chen is different, he has the title of minister of the Ministry of Rites, and he has a little insurance.

In the 47th year of Wanli, ** Cheng wrote more than 50 resignations, none of which were allowed, which shows how important this old gentleman is.In the Guozijian for more than 30 years, ** Chen has trained countless students, most of whom have won Jinshi.In the Ming Dynasty, this old gentleman's disciples were in the government and the public, and his disciples could be seen everywhere, whether in the foreign office or in the capital.You can find them all, ranging from ministers and ministers of various ministries, to county magistrates and Tongzhi.

Whether it was the Donglin Party that was very popular at the time, or the Qizhe Chu Party, they all had his disciples.

It's just that this old gentleman is devoted to academics, only thinking about how to cultivate himself, and basically doesn't speak in court.I have no interest in things such as the same party and the fight against dissidents.This also made these parties no one to pay his attention. After all, there is really no need to provoke such a person who is indifferent to the world and has extraordinary strength.

Seeing that it was ** Chen, Emperor Tianqi's heart skipped a beat, what's the matter with this old man?Smiling softly, Emperor Tianqi said in a soft tone: "Zhao Aiqing, how is your health recently? If you need anything, go to the Imperial Hospital to find someone. I will give you this treatment." Looking back at Wang Chengen, Emperor Tianqi said in a deep voice. He ordered: "From now on, Zhao Aiqing will take the sedan chair at court, and she can get off the sedan chair in front of the Emperor's Palace. No big ceremony will be required to see me!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Wang Chengen saluted respectfully and nodded.

The ministers below didn't think there was anything wrong, no one could say anything to ** Chen with such treatment.After all, ** Chen is really a bit older, and besides, he is qualified in terms of qualifications and everything else, so others are not envious of coming.

** Chen who was standing below was taken aback, why did he give the reward before he even spoke?I couldn't help muttering in my heart, could it be that the emperor has some deep meaning in this, but this old man is good at learning, but the things in the court are too poor.After thinking about it for a long time, I still couldn't figure it out, so I simply stopped thinking about it, bowed to Emperor Tianqi, and said in a deep voice: "My lord, thank you Lord Long En."

Seeing that ** Chen didn't kneel down, everyone was stunned, and there was even a feeling of irony.Emperor Tianqi only said that he was paying homage to the emperor, but why did he still have to kneel down to accept the reward?This one took it for granted.

Emperor Apocalypse didn't care, at such an age, it's understandable that occasionally there is a short circuit in the head!Looking at ** Chen with a smile, Emperor Tianqi said with a smile: "Zhao Aiqing, what do you want to participate in?"

"My Majesty, next year will be the year of the Grand Competition, and scholars from all over the world will gather in the capital. There are already a lot of people here, and I hope that the Imperial Academy will come forward to hold a moon appreciation exchange during the Mid-Autumn Festival." activities. Firstly, it can encourage scholars and spread enlightenment. Second, it can also let people see that the emperor values ​​scholars." ** Chen did not hide anything, and spoke out his thoughts.

Emperor Tianqi was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect that what ** Chen wanted to talk about was actually this matter, he pondered for a moment and then nodded slowly.This is a good thing. There is no reason not to agree. Looking at ** Chen with a smile, Emperor Tianqi said in a deep voice: "This is a good thing. Aiqing can do it. The necessary expenses will be provided by the internal treasury. Aiqing can rest assured."

"Your Majesty, this party must have a name, please give it a name." ** Chen didn't know if it was planned in advance, or if inspiration came suddenly, he bowed and said to Emperor Tianqi.

The surrounding ministers were all stunned, this old gentleman is a little abnormal today!

In fact, no one knew that ** Chen's health was getting worse and worse, and he couldn't stand it any longer.He wanted to resign and return to his hometown after finishing this task. If he could leave a custom for the Imperial College, it would be something that ** Chen left in the Imperial College, and it could be remembered in history.

After pondering for a while, Emperor Tianqi said softly: "Since this is the case, let's eat! Let these students chat and drink freely, and the expenses will be covered by my internal treasury. As for the name? Since it is the Mid-Autumn Festival, it is called the Mid-Autumn Festival Talented Scholars Banquet!"

"The emperor is wise!" Naturally, no one would stand up against this kind of thing. After all, it is a good thing and there is no reason to object.Even if you say something, the entire scholarly community will attack it.

Nodding his head slowly, Emperor Tianqi looked at Liu Yijing, the second cabinet assistant, and said in a deep voice, "Liu Aiai, has the order of Governor Ji Liao Qi Jin to bring people to Beijing be passed down?"

"Not yet His Majesty!" Liu Yijing's heart sank slightly, thinking that Emperor Tianqi was a little anxious.But Emperor Tianqi's next words laughed out his doubts.

"Add the Sichuan army, the imperial decree also adds the Sichuan army." Emperor Tianqi nodded and said in a calm tone. (To be continued..)
