I am the carpenter king

In the first year of Tianqi, August [-]th, it is advisable to take a shower and go to the house, avoiding weddings and funerals.

Gently opened his eyes, patted his forehead, Emperor Tianqi smiled indifferently.It's not easy to sleep until you wake up. Slowly sitting up, Emperor Tianqi called softly: "Come here!"

A person quickly ran in, came to Emperor Tianqi's bed, kowtowed to Emperor Tianqi on the ground, and said respectfully: "See the emperor."

Emperor Tianqi was slightly taken aback when he saw the person coming, because Wang Chengen was the one who waited outside every day, and he didn't expect that it was another person who came in now.Taking a closer look at the person kneeling on the ground, Emperor Tianqi found that this person was also an acquaintance, and it was Chen Lin, Chen Hong's godson.

"Get up!" Waving to Chen Lin, Emperor Tianqi said with a smile.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Chen Lin replied quite seriously, and after standing up from the ground, he said with a smile: "Your Majesty, this servant is waiting for His Majesty to dress!"

Emperor Tianqi shook his head slowly, looked at Chen Lin and asked, "Where is Wang Chengen? Emperor Tianqi is very curious about Wang Chengen's whereabouts. There is nothing important. Wang Chengen will stay outside the palace and wait for Emperor Tianqi to wake up. Since he didn't come today , obviously something was delayed!

"Back to Your Majesty, Eunuch Wei from the East Factory is here. It seems that there is something to do!" Chen Lin did not expect that the first thing Emperor Tianqi did was to find Wang Chengen. He was slightly disappointed in his heart, but he did not show it on his face.Bowing to Emperor Tianqi, he said in a respectful tone.

He nodded slowly, although he knew something was up, but it shouldn't be a big deal.If it's a big deal, Wang Cheng'en should report it when he's here.Looking at Chen Lin who was standing aside, Emperor Tianqi ordered softly: "Have someone come in and serve you!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" He replied respectfully.Chen Lin walked quickly to the door and waved to the outside.Not long after, the maids and eunuchs filed in. These people were all waiting for Emperor Tianqi to get up.

After washing, Emperor Tianqi slowly walked out of the house and stood under the eaves, looking at the bright sunshine.Emperor Tianqi was in a very good mood.Glancing at Chen Lin behind him, Emperor Tianqi said with a smile: "Chuan Shan! I'm in a good mood, let the Imperial Dining Room have some snacks! Let Empress Zhang accompany you for breakfast!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, this servant will do it now!" Chen Lin said respectfully, and after bowing to Emperor Tianqi, he walked away in small steps.

When Empress Zhang came, Emperor Tianqi was already sitting there preparing to eat, and seeing Empress Zhang wanted to salute.Emperor Tianqi waved his hand and said with a smile: "Zhen and Baozhu are husband and wife, don't use those vain gifts, come over and have a meal!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Although Emperor Tianqi said that, Empress Zhang still saluted Emperor Tianqi.

Ever since Huang Taiji attacked the Great Wall and the Shandong rebellion began, Emperor Tianqi hadn't shown such a smile for a long time.Now I see Emperor Tianqi's smile again.Empress Zhang suddenly felt that her own world had suddenly turned to the sun.

"By the way, Baozhu. Is the head of state in the capital now?" Emperor Tianqi seemed to remember something, put down the bowl in his hand lightly, and asked softly.

When Emperor Tianqi mentioned her father, Empress Zhang was delighted, but she looked sad when she thought that she hadn't seen her for a long time.But still smiled and said: "Thank you, the emperor, for caring. Father is still in the capital! The emperor rewarded him with a mansion, and now the family has moved here!"

Seemingly aware of Empress Zhang's depression, Emperor Tianqi smiled calmly, grabbed Empress Zhang's hand, and said with a smile: "If you want to see the two old people in the future, send someone to take them into the palace."

"I thank the emperor, but I don't want it anymore. The rules in the palace are strict, and I am afraid that something will go wrong." Empress Zhang smiled and looked at Emperor Tianqi, and said with a slight frown.

Slightly taken aback, Emperor Tianqi didn't expect Empress Zhang to think like this, but after thinking about it for a while, he was relieved.After pondering for a while, Emperor Tianqi said with a smile: "The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon. At that time, I will have a big banquet for all the ministers, and just take over the Zhang family."

Seeming to have thought of something, Emperor Tianqi was slightly taken aback, and after a while he said in embarrassment: "By the way, what happened to the title of the head of the country? I have never thought about it, and no one reminded me." Speaking of Tianqi The emperor shouted loudly to the outside: "Wang Cheng'en! Get out of here!"

Emperor Tianqi was a little embarrassed to look at Empress Zhang, but in a moment of anxiety, he forgot that Wang Chengen was not by his side.However, Emperor Tianqi was not disappointed. Wang Chengen ran in quickly, knelt down in front of Emperor Tianqi, panting and said: "I see the emperor! I deserve death!"

Looking at Wang Chengen who was kneeling on the ground, Emperor Tianqi couldn't bear it. It seems that you have to take me through this time.But just as Emperor Tianqi was about to say something, Empress Zhang on the side said softly: "The concubine knows what the emperor wants, so I don't need to talk about others!" smiled.

Seeing Empress Zhang like this, Emperor Tianqi knew that he couldn't go on acting, so he smiled at Empress Zhang.Emperor Tianqi said quite seriously: "For the empress's sake this time, if there is another time, I will definitely not spare him."

Nodding her head vigorously, Queen Zhang also said with a rather serious expression, "Yes, I can't spare him!" But she laughed as soon as she finished speaking.

Waving to Wang Chengen, Emperor Tianqi didn't look at Queen Zhang, and said to Wang Chengen, "Get up!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Gently wiping the sweat off his forehead, Wang Chengen's chest heaved continuously, half of which was tired, and the other half was frightened.Up to now, Wang Chengen still didn't understand what was going on, so he couldn't help but look at the eunuch and court lady beside him.

But everyone seemed to be enduring something, their faces were flushed, but they still looked serious.

"Wang Chengen, I ask you, what title should the head of the country be conferred?" At this moment, when he thought of his old father-in-law, Emperor Tianqi himself felt a little embarrassed.

Hearing Emperor Tianqi's words, Wang Chengen was taken aback for a moment. He didn't expect Emperor Tianqi to ask this question.After pondering for a while, Wang Chengen said slowly: "There are no specific regulations in the etiquette law, but generally it is a hereditary earl."

In fact, there were many people with titles in the Ming Dynasty, and most of them were descendants of Zhu Yuanzhang. After more than 200 years of development, they have become very large.In addition, there are heroes who founded the country, and the hereditary titles conferred by each emperor, there are a lot of them.Emperor Apocalypse has been having a headache about this problem, what should these people do?But until now Emperor Tianqi didn't get along well.

As the saying goes, if there are too many lice, don’t bite, and if you have too many debts, don’t worry. Anyway, there are already so many, and there is no shortage of Queen Zhang’s father.After pondering for a while, Emperor Tianqi looked at Empress Zhang, who was on the side, and asked softly: "Baozhu, can the Earl do it?"

Empress Zhang actually didn't care too much about this, after all, he had no brothers, and no one would inherit the title.If his father adopted a son, he would have no feelings for him.If you really want to adopt, I'm afraid the Zhang family will fight very hard.

After pondering for a while, Empress Zhang smiled calmly at Emperor Tianqi, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, I have no brothers in my body, so this hereditary will be exempted!"

Emperor Tianqi was slightly taken aback when he heard this, could it still be like this?But after a little thought about Emperor Tianqi, he felt that it was not possible.It's not my family's business that the queen's father be conferred a knighthood, it's better to be well-regulated.What's more, this is his own queen. Looking straight at Queen Zhang, Emperor Tianqi said in a deep voice: "I agree with Baozhu. In order to thank the father-in-law for giving birth to Baozhu, I feel that this reward is light. If it is not for the etiquette and law. They all want to make the head of the country the Duke of the country."

Hearing Emperor Tianqi's upright words, Empress Zhang suddenly felt a slight warmth in her heart. Looking at Emperor Tianqi, she was quite touched and said: "The emperor is really kind to my concubine, and I thank you to the emperor."

Emperor Tianqi was very happy in his heart, but there was no trace of expression on his face. Looking at Queen Zhang, he said with a serious expression: "In this case, this matter is settled like this! Turning around, I will reward you with a Huangzhuang outside the city. King."

Empress Zhang naturally expressed her thanks again, and the two continued to eat.But soon Emperor Tianqi put down his chopsticks again, and said to Wang Chengen, "What happened to the Wei Dynasty entering the palace?"

"Going back to the emperor, I wanted to start the memorial for a while, and here is the excerpt from the Wei Dynasty." As he spoke, he took out a memorial from his bosom, and was about to hand it to Emperor Tianqi.With Wang Chengen and Wei Chao's concern, what is written in the memorial is naturally very clear.But he didn't dare to say it, he still had to pretend that he hadn't seen it.

Emperor Apocalypse also knew what was going on, this was also an unspoken rule in the palace of the Ming Dynasty!He waved his hand at Wang Chengen and said with a smile, "Okay, stop pretending! Tell me! What's written in it."

Wang Chengen's expression suddenly changed. Although Emperor Tianqi said it casually, it was obviously inappropriate for him to go to see the Wei Dynasty and the memorial.However, Wang Chengen also knew that Emperor Tianqi was just giving him some points, so he didn't say anything more, but he told himself to pay attention in his heart.

Opening the memorial slowly, Wang Chengen looked up and down a few times before saying in a deep voice: "Going back to the emperor, it's Zunhua's Zhezi, Sun Chengzong, Grand Scholar, Qi Jin, Chief Soldier of Ji and Liao, and Chen Ce, Chief Soldier of Aid Liao." We've already arrived in Beitongzhou. We haven't left yet, and the report will arrive soon!"

After Wang Cheng'en finished speaking, the weather emperor remembered that it had been some days since his imperial decree was issued.Thinking about it, the time was almost up, and Emperor Tianqi already felt very sorry for not being able to see Qi Jiguang.But seeing Qi Jin now is also very good. Thinking of that strong old man, Emperor Tianqi became even more anxious. (To be continued..)
