I am the carpenter king

The Nanjing Wharf was crowded with people, and the entire city of Nanjing seemed to be empty, and all the people gathered here.Everyone was looking forward to it, waiting to welcome the imperial envoy, Yang He, the censor of the left capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

The team on the pier can be divided into several parts, the most dazzling of which are those wearing yellow clothes.All of them were the enfeoffed princes and county kings of Nanjing. Behind them, the town generals and auxiliary generals of various prefectures covered a large area.These are all clans of the Ming Dynasty, all sons and grandsons of the dragon, and they will not show their faces in leisure.

In the Ming Dynasty, although the clan had no power and their freedom of status was greatly restricted, their status was extremely respected.Even if it is the first rank in the current dynasty, many of them will kneel and kowtow when they meet the prince.Unless it is an imperial envoy like Yang He, there are not many who can be greeted by them in person!

Not far from the princes, there is a privileged class in the Ming Dynasty, which is the hereditary nobles.Headed by Wei Guogong, these people are also black and white.Unlike the nobles in other places, many people here hold military power.One of the representatives will belong to Wei Guogong's mansion, which has guarded Nanjing for generations and is the chief governor of the Chinese army's governor's mansion!

Behind these people are the military generals of Nanjing City, all of whom are officers in the guard.The armor on his body was polished brightly, the cloak behind him was blood-red, and the war horse under his crotch was also scrubbed very clean, looking extremely heroic, a man like a tiger, and a horse like a dragon.

Not far from these people are officials from Nanjing, the six ministers, ministers, doctors, and other government officials. There is a whole team here.Although it is useless on weekdays, they are all standing here in official uniforms now.Of course, there are also various yamen in Nanzhili, the governor, the chief envoy, the inspector and so on.

There are wealthy businessmen, scholars and scholars in the periphery, and the entire Nanjing Wharf is crowded with people.The event was unprecedented.

Although they had been waiting for a while, there was no trace of impatience on their faces. They were talking to each other in low voices, with gentle smiles on their faces.However, many people will glance at it from a distance from time to time, and a complex look will flash in their eyes.Some people keep their heads down all the time and don't talk to others.He didn't look at the people around him, and raised his hand to wipe his sweat from time to time.

If one pays attention to these people, it is not difficult to find that these people seem to be very nervous.When looking up at the river, their eyes were very erratic, and some people seemed to be trembling.

I don't know how long it took, a lucky boat appeared on the river, with a big flag on the bow, which read: Xunhun on behalf of the sky.Imperial envoy by order!

coming!Everyone who was waiting on the shore knew that this was the arrival of the imperial envoy!He hurriedly arranged his clothes, for fear of leaving a bad impression on the imperial envoy.Of course, there are some people who don't care, and the clan doesn't do anything, but the etiquette is very thorough.

In the clan, this disrespect is a great sin, which is quite the opposite of those ordinary officials.Inside the clan, enclose money.As long as you don't go too far, the emperor will basically turn a blind eye.Even if it is to rob people's daughters.Such a thing is at best an order to reprimand.But faux pas is different, it can take away the king's title.

The ministers are just the opposite. If they have done some things before, they are easily overthrown by others. Even if the emperor knows about it, there will be no good fruit to eat!As for faux pas, civil servants often play dead remonstrance.If you want to hit him to death, what will happen, there are many places where you will be rude.The emperor generally does not pursue it, and other dynasties may have to rectify it, but the Ming Dynasty is very special.

Everyone stared at the ship with piercing eyes, and slowly docked.It was still the sons of Jin Yiwei and Dongchang who came out first.Then came the imperial guards who opened the way, and after that, the imperial envoy Yang He came out.

Behind Yang He, on the left is Xu Xianchun, and on the right is the father-in-law of Dongchang. This is the deputy imperial envoy who has been with him since he left the capital.However, Wei Chao had already explained, and he didn't say anything along the way, almost non-existent.

At this time, Xu Xianchun was holding the Shangfang sword in his hand, and looked at the crowd expressionlessly, his face was serious, and he looked straight ahead.Beside Xu Xianchun, Deputy Imperial Envoy Cao Huachun dragged the imperial decree in his hand, and followed Yang He solemnly.

Standing on the bow of the boat, Yang He's robe was blown by the river wind, turning around to look at Xu Xianchun, Yang He said loudly: "Please bring out Shangfang's sword!"

Xu Xianchun, who was behind Yang He, hurried forward, held up Shangfang's sword with both hands, and handed it to Yang He respectfully.

Yang He took the sword, raised it high above his head, and glanced at the people around him, with a solemn and solemn expression on his face.

All the people standing by the river lifted their clothes and knelt down, even the princes were no exception, and shouted loudly: "I respectfully greet Sheng An!"

Holding Shangfang's sword, Yang He bowed towards the direction of the capital, and said loudly: "Holy bow!"

After three bows and nine kowtows, the people kneeling there shouted loudly: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live!"

Returning the Shangfang sword to Xu Xianchun, Yang Heyou took the imperial decree from one side, unfolded it slowly, and said loudly: "The imperial decree!"

Everyone hurriedly said: "The minister waits for the order!"

After reading the imperial decree again, after everyone shouted long live three times, Yang He shouted loudly again: "Everyone, please rise up!"

After everything was done, Yang He got off the boat, and after greeting everyone, he announced the disbandment.Those clan gates walked the fastest, because they were hunting on behalf of the sky, so they had to come to pick them up.After all, I have nothing to do with myself, it's better to leave as soon as possible!

All the hereditary nobles have also left, everyone is still talking and laughing, it seems that the arrival of the imperial envoy has nothing to do with them.

The magistrates on one side couldn't hide. After paying homage to the imperial envoy again, Yang He, accompanied by them, went to the imperial envoy's courtyard.

At night, there was a lot of discussion about singing and dancing in Nanjing, and many people speculated about the reason for this imperial envoy's visit.Some people received a report from Yangzhou, and it seemed that a case was closed, as if it was nothing special.

The next morning, the weather was particularly good, and Wei Guogong Xu Hongji got up very early.Although he didn't have the experience of fighting on the battlefield in his ancestors, after all, he was a family heir to martial arts, and Xu Hongji still had the demeanor of a general.

As usual, he was practicing swords in the yard when the soldiers guarding the gate ran in and came to Xu Hongji's side. He respectfully saluted Xu Hongji and said loudly, "Master Cao! The imperial envoy, Eunuch Cao, is here to see you! "

He frowned slightly, sighed helplessly, and couldn't escape it!Handing over his Nine Back Machete to the soldiers beside him, Xu Hongji said in a deep voice, "Did you say something?"

"Master Hui, he said that he was ordered by the imperial envoy, but he didn't say anything about it!" The soldier saluted respectfully and said.

Taking a hand towel to wipe his sweat, Xu Hongji sighed, and said to the soldiers: "Invite him to the hall, let the butler entertain him first, and see him after I change my clothes!"

After tidying up, Xu Hongji came to the lobby, and when he came in, he saw a little eunuch sitting there.He is very young, and his face is very immature, but his eyes are very bright, and he looks like a very smart person!

Seeing Xu Hongji come in, Cao Huachun quickly knelt down on the ground, smiled flatteringly, and said, "My servant, please greet the Duke, the Duke is in good health, and he will live a long life!"

Slightly stunned, he helped Cao Huachun up, and Xu Hongji said with a sullen face: "This little eunuch, has this country's eunuch offended you in any way?"

Hearing Xu Hongji's words, Cao Huachun's face turned green, thinking that Xu Hongji was pinching his arm and could not kneel down.Her lips were trembling, and she said in a jerk, "Why did the Duke say that? You are the Duke of the country, and the status of a servant is low, how did you say that!"

After glaring at Cao Huachun fiercely, Xu Hongji said to him with a serious face, "Sit down and talk!" Seeing Cao Huachun sit down, Xu Hongji himself sat back on the chair.

"Let me tell you, you should kowtow to my father-in-law. The emperor will be happy when he sees it. My father-in-law can bear it! But your status is different now. The imperial envoy asked you to kneel. Luckily, no one will see it here, otherwise it will be troublesome!" Xu Hongji's face is not very good-looking, although this matter is a trivial matter, it is not a big deal if it is really spread, but it may make Emperor Tianqi feel uncomfortable. Happy.

Seeing that Cao Huachun was about to speak again, Xu Hongji waved his hand, and said in a deep voice, "Let's talk about business directly! What are you doing here? Or what did the imperial envoy ask you to do?"

"My lord, the imperial envoy wants you to go to the palace of the imperial envoy. The imperial envoy has something to discuss with the lord!" Although Cao Huachun still wanted to say something, Xu Hongji, the Duke of Wei, didn't want to listen to it, so he had to say what he had come here for. The purpose is stated.

Slowly nodding his head, Xu Hongji stood up slowly, and said to Cao Huachun, "Go back to the imperial envoy, and the Duke of the country will rush over immediately after changing clothes!"

"Yes, my lord!" Cao Huachun bowed to Xu Hongji, turned around and left.

Inside the palace of the imperial envoy, Yang He was waiting for Xu Hongji, with a look of anxiety on his face.With Xu Xianchun standing on one side, Sun Yunhe from Dongchang was naturally also indispensable.The two looked at each other from time to time, but said nothing.

"My lord, Wei Guogong is here!" A Jinyi guard walked outside, saluted Yang He, and said respectfully.

"Please!" Yang He sat back on the chair and said in a serious voice.

Walking into the lobby, Xu Hongji lifted up his clothes and knelt down on the ground, saluted, and said in a respectful voice: "Wei Guogong Xu Hongji, I have seen the imperial envoy!" salute.

No one Xu Hongji got up, Yang He stood up slowly, took out a yellow scroll from his arms, slowly unfolded it, and said loudly: "The imperial decree has arrived! Wei Guogong Xu Hongji received the decree !” (To be continued..)
