I am the carpenter king

The emperors of the Ming Dynasty often gave banquets. It is customary to give a banquet at Zhengdan every year, and a Qionglin banquet after the scientific research.In order to shorten the relationship between the monarch and his ministers, and to show the majesty of the emperor, the royal majesty will also have extra banquets during festivals.

On August [-]th, Emperor Tianqi got up very early and put on the dragon robe under the service of Empress Zhang. After washing and grooming, Emperor Tianqi asked Wang Chengen while having dinner with Empress Zhang.

Emperor Apocalypse has given a reward banquet once in this year's Zhengdan, this is the second time, and the general etiquette is already known.Looking at Wang Chengen on the side, Emperor Tianqi asked in a deep voice: "How is it? Are you almost ready?"

"Return to Your Majesty, everything is ready, Your Majesty can rest assured!" Wang Chengen specially passed on the new clothes today, and he looked in good spirits, and he was smiling when he spoke.

Slowly nodding his head, Emperor Tianqi said in a deep voice: "That's good, don't make any mistakes!" After pondering for a while, Emperor Tianqi continued: "You choose a few smart and sensible maids from Concubine Lan, There are older ones, if you are sensible, go over and take good care of Concubine Lan and the little princess. Let the imperial doctor move around more often, so that nothing happens." [

"Return to Your Majesty! The empress has already told me to come over yesterday, and the person has already fallen over yesterday!" Wang Chengen glanced at Queen Zhang with a smile, and said in a submissive tone.

Emperor Tianqi was slightly taken aback, looked sideways at Empress Zhang, and said with a smile: "Baozhu has a heart!"

"This is what a concubine should do. The emperor has important state affairs to attend to, so a concubine should do these things!" Empress Zhang looked at Emperor Tianqi sweetly, and said softly.

Turning his gaze to Wang Cheng'en again, Emperor Tianqi said in a deep voice: "Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and I will take the queen to pay my respects to the queen mother. You tell the empresses in the harem that everything will pass after a while!"

Emperor Tianqi had just finished speaking, and Wang Chengen hadn't said anything yet, but Empress Zhang on the side had already chuckled softly.

Seeing Emperor Tianqi looking at her, Empress Zhang quickly explained: "Your Majesty, the sisters in the concubine and the harem have to go to pay respects to the Empress Dowager every day. Twice a day in the morning and evening. If the Emperor stays there, the one time at night can be avoided. go!"

Smiling a little embarrassedly, Emperor Tianqi realized that he had made a big oolong. He thought that he didn't need to go to other people and he didn't need to go. It seems that he should pay more attention to the affairs of the harem in the future.

"In that case, let's go there! After paying respects to the queen mother, I'm going to see Concubine Lan! Then I'm going to meet the ministers, Wang Chengen, you accompany me, and leave the rest to Chen Lin!" Tian Qi The emperor looked at Wang Chengen and said in a soft tone.

Wang Chengen's eyebrows twitched slightly.However, the expression on his face did not change at all, he looked at Emperor Tianqi with a smile, and said respectfully: "Go back to the emperor, I understand."

Nodding in satisfaction, Emperor Tianqi stopped talking.After having breakfast with Empress Zhang, Emperor Tianqi took Empress Zhang to the Palace of Compassion and Peace. Naturally, there was nothing special going on with Empress Zhang.

But when he saw Zhu Wanjun who was full of grievances.Although Emperor Tianqi didn't show it on his face, he was very happy in his heart.Although the empress dowager didn't say anything about Emperor Tianqi.But Zhu Wanjun was severely punished for sneaking out of the palace last time.

Coming out of the Compassionate Ning Palace, Emperor Tianqi went to see Li Lan. When he saw Li Lan, Emperor Tianqi almost didn't recognize him.Thinking about seeing this woman on the first day he just came here, Emperor Tianqi suddenly felt a lot of emotion.

Gently pulling Li Lan's hand, Emperor Tianqi said in a soft tone: "It's really hard work for you! Take good care of it. When you recover, you are still bearing children for me!"

Since coming to this era, Emperor Tianqi still retains many things from that era in his thoughts, but he has gradually integrated into this era.Emperor Tianqi knew how he said they would like it, in the eyes of women in this era.Being able to bear children for one's own man is the most important thing.

Hearing Emperor Tianqi's words, Li Lan nodded slowly, and said quite moved: "The concubine is a body of guilt, the emperor not only does not blame the concubine, but also treats the concubine so well, the concubine thinks it will be repaid!"

Shaking his head slowly, Emperor Tianqi said with a smile: "You are not guilty, the past is over, and the days to come are still long! Don't think too much, take good care of it, and bring up the little princess for me. It must be as beautiful as you."

"Yes, the concubine obeys the order!" Li Lan smiled sweetly, and it was obvious that he was very happy.

"Go to sleep! I'm going to see the ministers, you have a good rest. I will come over as soon as I have time, and you can send someone to find me if you have anything to do. Don't be afraid to disturb my work, I will definitely take care of your affairs It's time." Emperor Tianqi tucked up the quilt for Li Lan and instructed.

Listening to Emperor Tianqi's words, Li Lan nodded lightly, not saying anything, but her eye circles were a little red. [

Standing up slowly, Emperor Tianqi looked at a court lady on one side, and said in a deep voice: "Take care of your mother well, if you have anything to do, you can go to Wang Gonggong, if Wang Gonggong can't solve it, you can go directly to Zhen!"

"Yes, Your Majesty! This servant understands." The maid on the side said respectfully after bowing to Emperor Tianqi.

After instructing some more things, Emperor Tianqi took Wang Chengen and left, heading towards the Huangji Hall where the banquet was going to be held today.

While walking, Wang Chengen thought in his mind that everyone in the palace knew that Concubine Lan was once very favored.However, after Emperor Tianqi got married, the imperial concubine seemed to be much worse, because Emperor Tianqi favored the empress only.But today, Wang Cheng'en could see that Emperor Tianqi had special feelings for Concubine Lan, which is not enough for outsiders!

He decided in his heart that he must be able to do something in the future, Wang Chengen kept telling himself that he must firmly consolidate his position in the palace.

The banquets given by the Ming Dynasty were exquisite, and not everyone could participate.Most of them are hereditary nobles, and not many civil and military officials can participate.

At this time, all the civil and military officials had already arrived in Danchi and lined up in sequence. As for Emperor Tianqi, he was in the Huangji Hall, waiting for his ascension.An eunuch came out with a clean whip, cracked it three times in a row, and the curtain of the Emperor Palace was rolled up.At this time, all civil and military officials are preparing to enter the Huangji Hall, and they are never allowed to enter before this.

The drum sounded for the third time, and the driver led the way. Shang Baosi walked forward with the jade seal. The Dayue located on the east and west sides of the Huangji Gate, and the Zhonghe Shaoyue located in the Huangji Hall played the song "Flying Dragon Yin" together. .Under the guidance of Wang Chengen, Emperor Tianqi walked out slowly, walked to the back of the dragon book case, and sat on his dragon chair.

At this moment, all the ministers were looking at Emperor Tianqi. Although this emperor was young and had not been on the throne for a long time, no one dared to underestimate him.Those ministers who underestimated Emperor Tianqi no longer knew where they were. For Emperor Tianqi, these ministers were in awe from the bottom of their hearts.

Wai Praise arranges the class, the class bows together, plays the song of "Fengyunhui", then plays the music of "Celebrating the Emperor's Capital", and plays the music of "Xi Shengping" three times.

Emperor Tianqi looked at the ministers below and sighed softly in his heart. He didn't know when such formalism could be changed.The Ming Dynasty is already the same as the later generations. It is all formalism. I don’t know when these formalisms will be abolished?The officials present were not very excited. They had long regarded the Grand Court Meeting as a routine. Even because someone got up too early and dozed off little by little, there was a special "Correcting Imperial History" to remind him, Tell the officials not to whisper or doze off.

At this time, most of the people standing below are hereditary nobles, civil servants must be above the fourth rank, and military officers must be above the governor.There were not many people in the hall, so Emperor Tianqi could see everyone's expressions.

At this time, according to etiquette, Emperor Tianqi had to leave his seat and wait for the banquet to start before coming out.Naturally, the Tianqi Emperor would not forget it, and with the support of Wang Chengen, the Tianqi Emperor slowly left the hall.

Emperor Tianqi is preparing for the festival, and Luo Sigong is also preparing for it, but naturally he is not preparing for the festival.

Looking at the frolicking and bustling streets below, Luo Sigong said in a deep voice: "This is Zhangjiakou, the busiest place in the Daming Frontier Fortress, and the people here are also preparing for the festival. Our soldiers surrounded Zhangjiakou, and it is still so bustling and lively, no wonder I know what it was like in the past."

At this time, Luo Sigong covered his mouth with both hands, a faint smile hung on the corner of his mouth, but his eyes were full of cold light.Although his tone of voice was very peaceful, there was a faint murderous look in his smile.

Behind Luo Sigong are two women dressed in black, with face scarves on their heads, and each of them holds a knife in their hand, which is the Yanling Sword.Although they were not out of their sheaths, it could be seen that the blades were very narrow and the tips were slightly upturned. These two knives should be specially made.

Behind the two women were two men, one was Liu Fenghua, who was in charge of Dongchang, and the other was Danghan, who was in charge of Jinyiwei Qianhu.

Turning around slowly, Luo Sigong looked at the two of them, and said with a serious expression: "Have you both finished the arrangements?"

"Return to your lord, just in case you miss it!" The two said respectfully as they cupped their fists at Luo Sigong.

Nodding his head in satisfaction, Luo Sigong said in a deep voice: "Sure enough, you are an elite soldier. Neither of you will disappoint me. Since this is the case, we don't have to wait until the moon is in the sky. Let's do it when the sun goes down. Do it at dusk. As the saying goes, the setting sun is only good, but it’s only near dusk.”

"Yes, my lord!" Dang Han and Liu Fenghua didn't have much interest in reciting poems, but seeing Luo Sigong's expression, both of them felt confident. [

"After catching people, they will be directly locked in the prison. Is there any problem in the prison?" Luo Sigong looked at the two women and asked softly.

Facing Luo Sigong, one of the women said: "The prison has been taken over by our people, just in case!" (To be continued...)
