I am the carpenter king

Chapter 552 Three Memorials

The moon hung in the sky, and the silver light filled the entire city, covering this huge palace with a veil of mystery.The maids and eunuchs who had been busy for a day finally got a rare rest at this time.Everyone was going to bed, but the eunuchs and maids in the warm pavilion were all silent because Emperor Tianqi was losing his temper.

Emperor Tianqi sat behind the Longshu table, turning over the memorial in his hand by the light, with a gloomy light flickering in his eyes.Although the earthquakes in Yangzhou and Luanzhou were serious, they would not affect Emperor Tianqi.The imperial court has its own set of procedures for the earthquake disaster, and there are competent officials to preside over it, so there will be no major problems. These Emperor Tianqi are very relieved.The only difficulty is money and food. The current imperial court is not what it used to be, and Emperor Tianqi will not lose his temper for these money.

Seeing Emperor Tianqi picked up another memorial, Wang Chengen hurried up and said worriedly: "Your Majesty, it's late at night and the spring is cold and dew heavy. Your Majesty should rest early! Your Majesty's dragon body is important, and state affairs can be handled by the court." It's being resolved at the meeting, the emperor supports those ministers, and he can't let them stop working!"

Throwing out the memorial in his hand, Emperor Tianqi scolded loudly: "This is my subject. On weekdays, the Qi family governs the country and the world, full of benevolence, righteousness and morality, as if they are all saints who are not human fireworks. For the Ming Dynasty It seems that they can give everything, and those who are loyal can no longer be loyal, but look, what are these people doing!"

"Your Majesty, the ministers have all kinds of things. The Emperor doesn't have to worry about it. People's hearts have been unpredictable since ancient times. The Ming Dynasty still has many loyal ministers. The Emperor doesn't have to worry about Mandarin!" Wang Chengen on the side quickly persuaded, in his opinion, these ministers are really It's a bit of a loss.It really needs a good tidying up.

Sighing, Emperor Tianqi looked around at the court ladies, and said, "Let these people go down to rest! It's getting late, don't stay with me here anymore, these ministers are nothing new, tossing and turning is just a warning from heaven, I I am not benevolent in politics. I know what I am doing, and Qingshi will judge me. I will build an unprecedented Ming Dynasty, an unprecedentedly powerful empire!"

After letting everyone go out, Wang Chengen picked up the memorials thrown away by Emperor Tianqi one by one, and said with some embarrassment: "Your Majesty, I don't know if I should say something or not!"

"Speak! Every time you say something like that, you have to say it out loud. It's just you and me here, so let's just chat!" Emperor Tianqi leaned on the dragon chair.Put your feet on the armrest on one side, and put yourself in a comfortable position, said.

"Your Majesty, in fact, these people are cronies, and the reasons for doing these things are also very understandable. Being an official for thousands of miles is only for money. This sentence is very reasonable for Nubei. Children from poor families study in the hope of honoring their families and changing their own poverty. If you have a rich family, then it is inevitable that you will not be greedy after becoming an official. Those officials with rich families, although they are not short of money, but they always want to protect the interests of their family members. In the entire Ming Dynasty, how many serious business people are there? These people naturally need power Maintenance, except for the collusion between officials and businessmen. Of course, officials in his own family are more reliable." As the most trusted eunuch of Emperor Tianqi, Wang Chengen has wisdom far beyond ordinary people, and his words are often down to the essence. [

Nodding slowly, Emperor Apocalypse sighed naively, the official point of the Han people all the time, this is not easy to change.After thinking for a while, Emperor Tianqi said in a deep voice, "Is there any news from Nanjing? I am afraid that Nanjing is not peaceful now!"

"Back to the emperor, there is no news from Nanjing, and there is no news from Zhejiang! The emperor should rest first, it is so late, and if there is something to deal with tomorrow, as for the memorials of these people, the emperor should not worry about it. Your Majesty is getting more tired, and there is no benefit at all!" Wang Chengen didn't want to continue discussing with Emperor Tianqi, it was too late, it would be better to take a rest.

This time Emperor Tianqi didn't refute, nodded, and said: "I went to Kunning Palace, I haven't been with the queen for a long time, these days are too busy. I don't have to go to court tomorrow, so I can have a good rest! "

"Nubi hold the lantern for the emperor!" Wang Chengen smiled suddenly, and called the people outside to take the lanterns, and shine them on the emperor Tianqi in front.

When Emperor Tianqi came to Kunning Palace, Empress Zhang was still awake, which surprised Emperor Tianqi.Seeing that Queen Zhang seemed to be embroidering something, she immediately frowned.

"Your Majesty!" Sensing someone standing behind her, Queen Zhang hurriedly turned her head and screamed out when she saw Emperor Tianqi standing behind her.A look of joy suddenly appeared on his face, he put down the things in his hands, and hurriedly stood up.

Grabbing Empress Zhang who was about to salute, Emperor Tianqi said with a trace of regret on his face, "Baozhu, why are you still embroidering things at such a late hour? What is so important? Take good care of yourself, that is more important than anything else! "

Listening to Emperor Tianqi's caring words, a touch of emotion flashed across Empress Zhang's face, and she said with a smile: "The concubine knows it, and I will try to do it during the day, but the emperor always pesters the concubine during the day, it's a bit off-putting." Don't leave."

Emperor Tianqi's eyes fell on what Empress Zhang had just embroidered, and Emperor Tianqi was taken aback because it was a dragon robe.The pattern on it is very detailed, it can be seen that it was made by one person, and it is self-evident who made it.Stretching out his hand to pull Empress Zhang's hand over, looking at the pinhole in that slender hand, Emperor Tianqi wanted to say something, but felt that his mouth was blocked by something, and he could not utter a sound.

"Your majesty, this is the dragon robe that I embroidered for the emperor. I have been doing it all by myself since weaving. The lady wants to make clothes for the husband. I have been married to the emperor for so long, and I have never made clothes for the emperor. It is really a shame." I am ashamed of my responsibility as a wife. I secretly embroidered this dress for a long time. I wanted to surprise the emperor, but now I have to let the emperor see it first." Empress Zhang can naturally sense the emotions of Emperor Tianqi, and took it with a smile. The semi-finished dragon robe on one side explained to Emperor Tianqi.

Nodding his head, Emperor Tianqi did not continue this topic, and said with a smile: "How is the prince recently? Is there any misbehavior? I am too busy these days, and I didn't care about him. Did you blame me, little guy?"

Seeing Emperor Tianqi talking about his son, Empress Zhang's face suddenly flashed a strange brilliance, she smiled and said: "The emperor is very well-behaved and sensible, how can I blame the emperor. But there is one thing about the concubine, the emperor is not young anymore , should the emperor find a teacher to teach the emperor how to read?"

Emperor Tianqi was taken aback for a moment, then waved his hand, and said with a smile: "Don't joke about Baozhu, how old is the emperor? Are you studying now?" A chilling feeling.

Although Queen Zhang was dissatisfied in her heart, she didn't say it out loud and nodded obediently.In fact, Empress Zhang thought very clearly that Emperor Tianqi canonized Sun Chengzong as the prince and grand teacher, and Sun Chengzong himself was the teacher of the two emperors. If he could let his emperor's son worship under Sun Chengzong, the position of prince would come!

However, Emperor Tianqi didn't want to talk about this, so Empress Zhang naturally wouldn't show any signs of it, and changed the subject: "Your Majesty, it's getting late, should my concubine serve the Emperor to rest?"

Nodding slowly, he was indeed tired. After lying down, Emperor Tianqi fell asleep faintly.However, Emperor Tianqi's wish to sleep late was not fulfilled, and he was woken up early the next morning.The one who woke up Emperor Tianqi was none other than Luo Sigong, the commander of Jinyiwei.

While dressing Emperor Tianqi, Empress Zhang frowned and complained: "Luo Sigong is quite a sensible person, why is he so annoying this time?"

After a few laughs, Emperor Tianqi joked: "If Luo Sigong knows that he has offended the empress of the Ming Dynasty, I wonder if he will dare to come to play in the morning!"

"Your majesty, you're making fun of me again!" Empress Zhang gently tapped Emperor Tianqi's shoulder, blushing a little, and said coquettishly.

Emperor Tianqi took Empress Zhang's hand, and said in a deep voice: "This time Luo Sigong is so anxious, I'm afraid it's a big matter, I have to go and have a look. If the matter is resolved early, I will come to Kunning Palace."

"Your Majesty does not need to be like this. All state affairs are the most important. I am not the kind of person who does not know the importance. Your Majesty, go!" Feeling the deep love of Emperor Tianqi, Empress Zhang suddenly felt a lot warmer in her heart, and tenderly offered to Emperor Tianqi. After tidying up his clothes, he said softly.

Nodding his head, Emperor Tianqi left Kunning Palace with a serious expression on his face. There was only one thing that could make Luo Sigong so anxious, and that was the matter of Nanjing.It seems that my worries have finally become a reality. The capital is putting pressure on me, and Nanjing is not idle!

Not long after, Emperor Tianqi walked into the Nuan Pavilion, looked at Luo Sigong who was going to salute, waved his hands, and said, "Is there any news from Nanjing? And it must be not good news!"

"Your Majesty, I have two memorials here, one of which is a secret one written by Jin Yiwei and Zhi Danghan, which contains the investigation results of the Hangzhou Mutiny. I have already read this one, and the matter seems to be more serious than expected. The Dang Tongzhi was waiting for the news, so he didn’t dare to act rashly for a while, so as not to startle the snake! The other memorial was sent by the Minister of the Ministry of Finance, the Minister of the Cabinet, the non-commissioned officer of the Cabinet University, but it was sent by the accompanying Jin Yiwei, what he said is unknown.” !Luo Sigong handed the memorial to Wang Chengen, and told what he knew.

Nodding his head, Emperor Tianqi was very satisfied with Luo Sigong's attitude. I will never let go of what I should take care of, and I will never let me take care of what I should not take care of.After taking the memorial handed over by Wang Chengen, Emperor Tianqi looked at it slowly, and his expression became more and more serious.
