I am the carpenter king

The sky was overcast, and the raindrops were still falling, and it seemed that there was no sign of stopping.I don't know if it's because of the weather, but I also feel depressed.

Zhu Xieyuan in the room frowned slightly. Although he was sitting on the chair, he looked outside from time to time.Although he knew in his heart that if he came back, someone would definitely report to him, but he couldn't help but look outside.

In addition, there are two people, one is Lin Zai, the inspector, and the other is Qin Liangyu, the general soldier.Both of them lowered their heads, and neither of them opened their mouths to speak. It was inappropriate to say anything at this time.

The rain was pouring down, constantly beating on the eaves, and occasionally rainwater flew in through the open door.The cool wind was blowing on people's bodies, mixed with the fishy smell of rain, which irritated people's noses.

A person walked towards the house stepping on the rainwater, the sound of pattering footsteps was very fast, it seemed that the person who came was also very anxious.

The faces of the three people present all changed. Zhu Xieyuan stood up slowly while supporting the chair, looking outside with quite excited expression.Qin Liangyu and Lin Zai looked at each other, and they also stood up.

Under the expectant eyes of the three people, a yamen servant ran in quickly, stood at the door, saluted the three people, and said respectfully: "My lord, you are back!"

"Quick, let them in!" Zhu Xieyuan was very excited, his beard was trembling, he stretched out his hand and waved vigorously, and said loudly.

"Yes!" The yamen servant clasped his fists, turned around and ran outside.

After a short time, Zhou Sisheng strode in, clasped his fists at the three of them, and said loudly: "I have seen the two adults, and I have seen General Qin."

He strode forward and grabbed Zhou Sisheng by the arm.Zhu Xieyuan said with a smile: "General Zhou has worked hard, go and change quickly, you must be sick."

Gratitude flashed across his eyes, and Zhou Sisheng said respectfully, "Thank you sir, I'll go to the humble job now!"

Since you are back, Zhou Sisheng, all three of them have smiles on their faces.There is also a feeling of relief in my heart.Looking at Zhu Xieyuan with a smile, Lin Zai joked, "Master Zhu, this General Zhou is really your confidant!"

"What you said is wrong. They are all our Ming generals and subordinates of this old man. No matter who they are, I have this attitude." Zhu Xieyuan looked very serious, staring straight at Lin Zai, Shen Sheng said.

On one side, Lin Zai didn't have a trace of anger on his face, instead he looked straight.Bowing to Zhu Xieyuan, he said, "I've been taught!" His attitude was unusually sincere, without the slightest affectation.

Seeing this scene, Qin Liangyu couldn't help feeling that there were really too few officials like this in the Ming Dynasty.He clasped his fists at the two of them with a smile, and said sincerely: "It is really an honor to be accused of being able to work under the two adults."

Zhu Xieyuan glanced at Lin Jae and laughed at the same time.Gently waving his hand, Zhu Xieyuan said with a relaxed face: "General Qin, don't do this. We are not fuzz officials. We can clearly distinguish what should be done and what should not be done."

Both of them knew about the cause of Qin Liangyu's husband's death, so saying this now was also to appease Qin Liangyu.

Not long after, Zhou Sisheng came out in a change of clothes.Holding a hat in his hand, it looks like a Yi hat.

"My lord, this meeting was not in vain, and I gained a lot!" Seeing Zhu Xieyuan motioning for him to sit down, Zhou Sisheng was not polite.

He nodded with a smile.Zhu Xieyuan said quite complacently: "That's natural! This official has already made up his mind."

Seeing Zhu Xieyuan's appearance, Lin Zai curled his lips, not knowing who was in a hurry to die just now, and now he is acting in such a high-spirited manner.But Lin Zai would not expose Zhu Xieyuan, after all, this occasion is not suitable.

"Your Excellency is strategizing and winning thousands of miles away. I am so humbled by my humble position." Zhou Sisheng seemed to be used to this kind of occasion, and there was no surprise on his face, and he was full of flattery.His face remained unchanged, his expression was calm and natural, obviously his realm was already very high.

Smiling quite complacently, Zhu Xieyuan was about to say something, but Lin Zai on the side interrupted coldly: "Isn't this the time to gossip? Hurry up and hear the news."

Zhu Xieyuan was a little embarrassed at once, but his face changed quickly. He nodded to Zhou Sisheng, and said with a serious face: "Well, Master Lin is right!"

Qin Liangyu didn't say a word, just looked at the three of them with a smile.

Nodding vigorously, Zhou Sisheng immediately became serious, with an unusually serious expression on his face, and said, "My lord, I met Luo Qianxiang this time, and there was another person with him, and it seemed that the two of you didn't get along. I didn't figure out what was going on, but Luo Qianxiang looked dumbfounded, as if he was a little slow. But when we were about to leave, Luo Qianxiang gave him the title of humble job, and there might be some mystery behind it."

Seemingly agreeing with Zhou Sisheng's words, Zhu Xieyuan nodded repeatedly, and took Zhou Sisheng's hat when he heard him say hat.Squeezing back and forth in his hand, Zhu Xieyuan said with a smile: "There is indeed a universe here, take a knife!"

Just as Qin Liangyu was about to take the knife by himself, Zhou Sisheng on the side had already handed a small knife to Zhu Xieyuan.Qin Liangyu immediately nodded with understanding, Zhou Sisheng really knows how to behave, this kind of thought is really rare.He had known for a long time that there was a universe in it, but he didn't say anything, and specially prepared a knife for Zhu Xieyuan, which is really rare.

Looking at Zhu Xieyuan, just in time to see him giving Zhou Sisheng an appreciative look, Qin Liangyu's mouth curled into a meaningful smile.Zhu Xieyuan could understand Zhou Sisheng's thoughts, but he readily accepted it. It seems that he is also very good at being a boss.Maybe the touting just now is also listed here, it seems that there is a lot of mystery in it!

When Qin Liangyu looked away, Zhu Xieyuan over there had already cut open the hat, and there was indeed something tricky inside the hat.It was a letter wrapped in oiled paper, and it was obvious that this was what Luo Qianxiang wanted to hand over to Zhou Sisheng.

Taking out the letter, Zhu Xieyuan gently opened it, picked up the letter paper inside and read it.The first line is: Sichuan chief envoy Mr. Zhu learn from everyone!

When he lowered his gaze to the bottom, Zhu Xieyuan saw the lines of words he most wanted to see, which read: The guilty minister Luo Qianxiang nodded.

The letter recorded She Chongming's conspiracy in detail and what he did to force Luo Qianxiang to do.The latter part expounds Luo Qianxiang's determination not to be extravagant and Chongming, and also expresses his fear and yearning for the Celestial Dynasty in his heart.The attitude is very polite, which can also be said to be flattering.

Even though he was surrounded by heavy siege, Zhu Xieyuan didn't find it strange at all. Putting down the letter in his hand, Zhu Xieyuan sighed softly.There was a touch of helplessness in his tone, and he said: "I don't have any horses in my hands now, otherwise I will definitely destroy the enemy in front of me in one fell swoop."

"My lord, what should we do next? Do we need to go out of the city to fight?" Qin Liangyu looked at Zhu Xieyuan and asked loudly.

Gently shaking his head, Zhu Xieyuan said solemnly: "It's not enough now. Luo Qianxiang made it clear in the letter that She Chongming has already made preparations outside the city. If we rush out of the city, I'm afraid it will be more or less unfortunate. Besides, we Guarding Chengdu is the most important thing, no matter what, Chengdu must not be lost. There are too many grains and too many military supplies in the city, which cannot be given to Chongming anyway.”

In fact, there are not many things in the Chengdu government, but a Shu king's mansion has countless wealth. If the Shu king is arrested or killed, several people present will probably be buried with him.

Nodding in agreement, Lin Zai also looked quite serious, stroked his beard lightly, and said in a deep voice: "Besides, our memorial should have arrived in the capital, and the surrounding reinforcements should also arrive. For the time being, I am patient." In a few days, in the future we must take care of She Chongming."

Several people all nodded, but no one was talking.

Beijing city, warm pavilion.

Putting down the memorial in his hand, Emperor Tianqi said to Wang Cheng on the side: "It's getting colder and colder now, is there enough food in the city? Is the price of food still stable?"

"Return to the emperor, everything in the capital is safe, your Majesty can rest assured." Wang Chengen smiled brightly and said flatteringly.

Emperor Tianqi curled his lips. If he could rest assured, he would be out of trouble. There are really few officials in the Ming Dynasty who are capable of doing things.

"Your Majesty, Mr. Liu Yijing, a cabinet scholar, please see me!" Chen Lin walked as fast as he could, lifted his clothes and knelt down on the ground, and said in a respectful tone.

Frowning slightly, Emperor Tianqi smiled helplessly, raised his eyebrows slightly, and said, "It seems that something happened again! I hope it's not too bad." Waving his hand at Wang Chengen, he said weakly: "Go ! Bring him in."

After a short time, Liu Yijing walked in under the leadership of Wang Chengen, lifted his clothes and knelt down on the ground, and said loudly: "My minister will see the emperor, long live my emperor!"

Gently waving his hand, Emperor Tianqi said in a deep voice, "Liu Aiqing, get up! What's the matter?"

"Return to the emperor, this is a note from Zhu Xieyuan, the governor of Sichuan. There is a rebellion in Sichuan." Because Emperor Tianqi had already said this before, there was no surprise on Liu Yijing's face, except for lamenting that Jinyiwei was pervasive In addition, you must also warn yourself to be careful.

Hearing that it was about Sichuan, Emperor Tianqi breathed a sigh of relief, and said briskly: "There is nothing wrong there. There must be no problem with Qin Liangyu's Sichuan army and Sun Chuanting's Beijing camp. The cabinet drafted an imperial decree, This imperial decree is for the King of Shu to comfort some Kings of Shu and express their concern, and secondly to ask the King of Shu to provide some grain for military rations."

"Your Majesty, this!" Liu Yijing said in a rather embarrassed way, frowning slightly.

Patting his forehead, Emperor Tianqi said with a wry smile: "I am confused, this imperial edict cannot be passed by the cabinet." Looking back at Wang Chengen, Emperor Tianqi said in a deep voice: "The supervisor of ceremonies drafted the edict, and the edict was issued directly. Sichuan, let the King of Shu come to Beijing to celebrate the New Year after the things in Yunnan are over.” (To be continued..)
