I am the carpenter king

Chapter 374 Someone invited the emperor to dinner

Looking at the excited Hou Xun, a warm current flowed through Yuan Chonghuan's heart, and he was quite excited.Striding forward to hold Hou Xun's hand, Yuan Chonghuan said in a slightly hoarse voice: "Brother Hou, although you and I have known each other for many years, but today's kindness will be repaid later!"

Looking at Yuan Chonghuan with a serious face, Hou Xun's face suddenly sank, and he said with a bit of displeasure: "What are you talking about? The one who repays the kindness for the brother? The wise brother is different from the foolish brother. My brother is very talented and has ambitions on the frontier, he is really a talent that the imperial court urgently needs. Today, the son is extremely wise, this time there must be a chance for my virtuous brother to show his ambition."

Taking a step back, Yuan Chonghuan bowed his body and said gratefully: "Thank you, brother!"

Accepting Yuan Chonghuan's salute frankly, Hou Xun said with a smile: "As a brother, I should accept a salute from you. Well, you are tired all the way, go take a bath first, and then we will rest when we get drunk. I treasure it for my brother." A few altars of good wine, just waiting for my virtuous brother to come!"

Yuan Chonghuan's visit to the capital is only a very short time. There are many officials who have come to Beijing in the past few days.Most of the officials who came to Beijing have already received the news that the imperial court's internal inspection of the Beijing inspection is over, a large number of officials have fallen, and many positions have been vacated.

For many people, this is an opportunity, a chance to transfer back to the capital from the local area, but most of them are uneasy.If you follow the standards of your own Jingcha, I am afraid that many local officials will also be taken down, and you will have to run around for your own official title.

The whole capital suddenly became lively, and with the appearances seen in the capital from other places, the capital became even more prosperous for a while.After news about Emperor Tianqi's martial arts spread, many martial arts practitioners from poor backgrounds suddenly saw hope.According to the past practice, they are just a foil for the noble children, but this time it is different.This time it will be fair.

Many military attaches serving in the army have moved their minds. Most of them are from Juren, but they have no chance.

Regardless of the noise outside, the Forbidden City is peaceful, at least on the surface.

"Your Majesty, it's already noon. Do you want to take a break!" Wang Chengen came to the front of Emperor Tianqi, put the tea bowl in his hand on the table, and said with a slight frown.

Glancing at the memorials piled up on one side, Emperor Tianqi shook his head with a wry smile, and said in a deep voice, "I'm looking at a book, and then I'll send it all to the Supervisor of Ceremonies! Let the Supervisor of Ceremonies carefully approve the redemption. Leave it to me!"

The system of the Ming Dynasty found a good way for the emperor to be lazy. There are precedents for many things. What Emperor Tianqi has to do is to agree in the memorial.Most of them are drafted by cabinet votes.It is enough to give a direct reply, and this kind of manual work should be handed over to the supervisor of ceremonies!

Bringing over the tea and taking a sip, Emperor Tianqi took a memorial hesitantly.The brows were frowned at the first glance, Yao, Shun and Yu started the chapter, and after reading it, they were eloquent and eloquent.

After more than a year of approving the memorials, Emperor Tianqi was most afraid of two kinds of memorials, and the first was like this.Coming up is Yao, Shun and Yu.A bunch of useless nonsense that goes on and on.The other way up is: Woohoo.The country is overthrown!Otherwise it is: if the way of heaven does not exist, the country will not exist!All such memorials are basically cursing, although they will not directly scold Emperor Tianqi, but there must be irony in it.

Gently stroking his forehead, Emperor Tianqi couldn't help sighing.It is impossible to be an emperor without a good psychological quality.

Looking down patiently, the Emperor Tianqi was tired of watching the flattering words skipped over.What the emperor did was in line with the minds of the ministers, that is, comparable to Yao and Shun, praises such as the one emperor through the ages.If it doesn't match, then Xia Jie and Shang Zhou are still alive.If the punishment is certain that someone will rush forward to wait for the punishment, and they cannot be killed, Emperor Tianqi can only adopt the method of other emperors, that is, ignore it!

I finally skipped the nonsense, and saw the last part, it turned out to be a recommendation letter, signed by Hou Xun, the supervisory censor of Shanxi Road.In the front, he praised the Emperor Tianqi, but in the back he said that he should be appointed by Chaoba.When he saw that the recommender was a county magistrate, Emperor Tianqi had no interest in taking it, but when he saw the name, Emperor Tianqi was stunned.

Yuan Chonghuan, as long as anyone has a little understanding of the late Ming Dynasty, it is impossible for him not to have heard of this name. This is a controversial figure in this era.

After Emperor Tianqi came to this world, he had sought out many famous ministers, some of them didn't remember it for a while, and some of them remembered it but didn't know how to use it.Yuan Chonghuan obviously belonged to the latter, and this person gave Emperor Tianqi a headache.

There are many disputes about Yuan Chonghuan in later generations. Some people say that he is a hero, some say that he is a traitor, and some say that he is a patriot, but his ability is not strong.In short, there are different opinions and different opinions.

When Emperor Tianqi was in college in his previous life, the students in the dormitory would discuss historical figures from time to time, and this Yuan Chonghuan was definitely one of the people with the most disagreements.In Emperor Tianqi's heart, he was more inclined to the latter statement.

Looking at the memorial in front of him, Emperor Tianqi smiled lightly, he should see this person.Glancing at Wang Chengen, Emperor Tianqi said in a deep voice, "Go find Luo Sigong!"

"Your Majesty, it's already noon, let's have dinner first! Political affairs are still in the afternoon! Your Majesty is the body of ten thousand gold. All the country and society of the Ming Dynasty are tied to your Majesty. Your Majesty must take care of the dragon's body!" Wang Chengen said with a serious face. Distressed, he bowed his body to Emperor Tianqi, and said in a rather sad voice.

Impatiently waving his hand, Emperor Tianqi said in an annoyed voice: "Okay, what a long-winded! When did you become like this? Hurry up and pass the meal! I'm really hungry from what you said!"

Hearing Emperor Tianqi's words, Wang Chengen was taken aback for a moment, and his heart sank suddenly. Could it be that the emperor is angry?But when I heard the latter, I was relieved, and it seemed that I was doing the right thing.

"Damn the maidservant, let's go!" Wang Chengen bowed to Emperor Tianqi, turned around and ran out.

Looking at Wang Chengen's back, Emperor Tianqi's face flashed with emotion, maybe this is why the emperor trusted the eunuch!After all, the ministers of the imperial court have their own thoughts, and only these eunuchs are loyal.Although they are also greedy for money, aren't civil servants greedy for money?

After lunch, Emperor Tianqi found Luo Sigong again. The commander of Jinyiwei didn't show any expression on his face.After entering the Nuan Pavilion, he lifted his clothes and knelt down, and said loudly: "The Commander of Chen Jinyiwei, Luo Sigong, has seen the emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

Smiling and nodding, Emperor Tianqi said in a deep voice, "Get up! Aiqing is in good spirits. It seems that nothing bad happened!"

"Back to the emperor, there is indeed nothing to do in Jinyiwei after the next year, everything is running smoothly, and the minister is indeed more relaxed!" Luo Sigong knew Emperor Tianqi's temper well, and when he spoke like this, Emperor Tianqi would not only not blame him, but would be very happy.

Glancing at Luo Sigong, Emperor Tianqi nodded in satisfaction. Luo Sigong was really good at being a man, and he used it very easily.After pondering for a while, Emperor Tianqi said in a serious voice: "I want you to investigate a person, and the information must be detailed!"

"The emperor orders!" Luo Sigong said respectfully without saying a single word to Emperor Tianqi.

"This person's name is Yuan Chonghuan, the current magistrate of Zhaowu County, Fujian Province!" Slightly squinting his eyes, Emperor Tianqi said in an erratic voice.

Luo Sigong was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect Emperor Tianqi to investigate a county magistrate, he couldn't help feeling a little strange.But there was no expression on his face, it was not his business to ask.But he also guessed something in his heart, this county magistrate might be reused.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, I will make arrangements when I get back. I believe there will be a result soon!" Luo Si said respectfully, saluting Emperor Tianqi.

Waving his hand, Emperor Tianqi said: "Go down!" After Luo Sigong left, Emperor Tianqi turned his gaze to a young eunuch on the side, and asked in a deep voice, "Chen Lin, what do you want?"

"Back to the emperor, the house outside the city has just sent news that someone has sent an invitation card!" Chen Lin had a strange look on his face, wanting to laugh but not daring to laugh, looking depressed.

"Bring it up!" Emperor Tianqi was slightly taken aback, and ordered lightly.

After receiving the invitation card from Chen Lin, Emperor Tianqi was taken aback for a moment, seeing that it was a red invitation card.Although by this time, many rules were no longer so strict, but the red invitations were only commonly used among officials.

Opening the invitation, Emperor Tianqi looked directly at the inscription, and there was not one name, but three.Wen Zhenmeng was at the front, then Lu Xiangsheng, and finally Ni Yuanlu.

Seeing these three names, Emperor Tianqi laughed, it seems that this person still remembers himself!

The content of the invitation is very simple, that is, to invite Emperor Tianqi to attend the poetry meeting in three days, and I miss it after not seeing him for many days.Invitations aside, this party is a must for the Emperor Apocalypse.

After looking at Chen Lin, Emperor Tianqi frowned and said, "Is there anything else?"

"Go back to the emperor, no more!" Chen Lin's heart sank, and he said respectfully.

Gently waving his hand, Emperor Tianqi said in a deep voice, "Then you go out!"

When Chen Lin left, only Emperor Tianqi and Wang Cheng'en were in the room. Walking around in the room, Emperor Tianqi was thinking about a problem.What if it was possible to influence the results of the imperial examinations?Some people deserve it, some people shouldn't, how can you answer the effect you want!

As for the results of the eight-part essay, in the eyes of Emperor Tianqi, it is useless at all, although the imperial examination cannot be reformed.However, stereotyped essays will be abolished sooner or later. Emperor Tianqi cheers himself up in his heart, but he doesn't seem to have much confidence. (To be continued..)
