I am the carpenter king

Chapter 564 Take a trip with us

Although it has not yet reached the Mid-Autumn Festival, the moon has gradually become rounder, and the moonlight shines on the courtyard, casting a layer of silver light on everything.Holding a glass of wine, standing on the railing of the garden, Emperor Tianqi enjoyed a rare quiet time.

"Your Majesty, it's getting late, should you rest earlier? The Concubine Yu has already sent someone over to ask twice!" Wang Chengen respectfully walked to Emperor Tianqi's side, and said with a bit of helplessness on his face.

Concubine Yu is pregnant with Liujia, she is very clingy to the emperor recently, but luckily the emperor is in a good mood recently.

Handing the wine glass to Wang Chengen, Emperor Tianqi's face slowly became serious, and he turned to the corridor and said to Wang Chengen: "You go and send someone to tell Concubine Yu that I will be there tonight, but it will be a little late, and I have to go see some more. Memorial!"

"Your Majesty, the cabinet and the Supervisor of Rituals have already seen those memorials, and there is nothing particularly urgent." Wang Chengen glanced at Emperor Tianqi with some embarrassment, and carefully persuaded him: "The Emperor is sympathetic to the world and works hard for the country day and night. The blessings of the world, the blessings of the people, and the blessings of Ming Dynasty. But it is already late at night, the emperor should not be too tired, the dragon body is important!"

Sighing softly, Emperor Tianqi looked up at the moon in the sky, and said a little helplessly: "I don't know what's going on in Nanjing, I'm a little worried."

"Lord Zhou has had ups and downs several times, but he is a veteran minister in the court, and he is very experienced in handling things. The official is also in Yangzhou, not far from Lord Zhou, so he can help you with anything. The emperor also asked Dudu Luo to go to Nanjing. There will be any mistakes. The emperor rest assured, the good news will come back in a few days." Wang Chengen can be said to be very eloquent, and the words of reassurance to Emperor Tianqi are easy to grasp, and he said sincerely.

After waving his hand, Emperor Tianqi naturally knew that Wang Chengen was trying to relieve him, but he didn't know why.There is always some worry in my heart.After pondering for a moment, Emperor Tianqi asked in a deep voice: "Is there any news from Zhejiang? No news on the matter with the Netherlands?"

"Going back to the emperor, the way back and forth is not too short, there must be news soon!" Wang Chengen cursed in his heart, he is really too bad at handling things, and there is no news until now.Wait a minute to find Wei Chao.Let Dongchang get some news back.

After walking a few steps forward, Emperor Tianqi looked at Wang Chengen who was in a daze, and said, "What are you thinking? Hurry up and lead the way, to see Concubine Yu!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Wang Chengen came to his senses immediately, smiled flatteringly, and bowed to lead the way.

Nothing major happened in Beijing. Many people have already started preparing for the Mid-Autumn Festival. It must be three years since the apocalypse.Not much to do this year.There is no news of victory, nor news of the emperor killing people.It seemed that everyone was idle at once, whether it was Jiannu or Emperor Tianqi.

The atmosphere in Nanjing City is still weird, as if the crater is about to erupt, there is not a trace of sparks splashing out, once it moves, it may be like a thunderbolt.

However, this long-term peace was soon broken, and countless Jinyiwei suddenly appeared on the street.The captains who wandered around in the past seemed to be a different person.Those soldiers no longer looked lazy, but had a look of evil spirits on their faces.

The news came quickly.Lu Ting, the governor of Nanzhili, Liang Dao, and Zuo, who participated in politics, was arrested by Jin Yiwei.Zuo Shenzheng is the Taoist platform of the grain superintendent. Although it is not comparable to the governor of a province, it is still high in power.

Snapped!Throwing the teacup on the ground fiercely, Wu Yang's face was ashen, panting heavily.The body also stood up abruptly, and strode out!

"Master, where are you going?" Just as Wu Yang was about to step out of the door, a soft voice came to mind in the back hall.The bead curtain was stirred, and a pregnant woman came out from behind, holding a silk handkerchief in her hand, looking at Wu Yang worriedly.

Wu Yang, who was originally as angry as an ox.As if he was discouraged for a moment, he walked over quickly, supported the woman, and said carefully: "Madam, why did you come out? Be careful, don't move your fetus!"

The woman glanced at Wu Yang softly. Although she was not his original match, she had a good heart for her.Sitting down with Wu Yang's support, the woman smiled and said, "Master, what's wrong with you?"

"Lu Ting, the food supervisor, was arrested by Jin Yiwei. It seems that the imperial envoys are going to check the food. I want to discuss it with them. As long as Lu Ting tells the matter, I will be the next one. I can't sit still! "Wu Yang glanced at the woman and said helplessly.

The woman's brows also frowned, she knew what Wu Yang was doing, but she didn't expect to go back to this point.After thinking for a while, the woman said: "This time, the two cabinet scholars who came to Jiangnan are both high-ranking and powerful. It can be seen that the emperor has made up his mind to investigate Jiangnan. Don't say that the concubine's words are not pleasant. , What can those people do? Are they really going to risk their genocide to rebel?"

Wu Yang was also stunned, yes!What can those people do?It sounds like omnipotent, but is it really that simple?Now that he is pushed to the forefront, he will be unlucky no matter what.The rebellion is right, but Wu Yang himself has no confidence.

Glancing at the woman, Wu Yang smiled, and said flatteringly: "I don't know if Madam has any good ideas? At this moment, I need Madam's help!"

"My lord is right. This concubine is the master's child in my stomach. If there is a way, I can't tell the master. In fact, I always think that these people are alarmist. The emperor will kill you all because of you! Although the Yangzhou case killed People, but who are those people? Not to mention the Liaodong case, they are all smugglers and traitors!" The woman sighed as she spoke, her husband was also guilty of stealing disaster relief food , Corruption, killing is not an exaggeration.

Wu Yang's face on the one side became very ugly, and it took a long time before he opened his mouth and said: "Madam, I understand what you said! If you wait for the emperor to deal with it, it can be said that life and death are unknown, and the possibility of being beheaded is higher. But the emperor does not It can be said that it is a blessing in misfortune that it will implicate the wife and the child in the wife's womb. If you continue to make trouble with these people, not to mention the wife and the child, I am afraid that the catastrophe of genocide is just around the corner!"

"Master, it's not time to make a choice yet. Those people won't watch the master fall to the court. After all, conspiracy to rebel is not a trivial matter, and they won't let the master tell it! The master should not rush to find them, just wait They're here to find the master!" The woman looked at Wu Yang with a smile, and said confidently.

"Master! Master!" The butler ran in quickly, saluted Wu Yang, and said respectfully: "I have seen the master, I have seen the madam!"

After glaring at the butler, Wu Yang said coldly: "What's the matter with flustered, at such an old age, why doesn't he wink at all." He let go of the woman's hand and sat back Sitting on his chair, he asked lightly, "What's the matter?"

"Master, the imperial envoy is here!" The butler didn't care, he was scolded by Wu Yang a lot.Wiping the sweat from his forehead, he said respectfully.

Wu Yang's heart sank suddenly, his face became extremely ugly, he looked back at his wife, and said in a hoarse voice: "Madam, go to the back!"

"Master, look at what people say, don't be impulsive!" The woman stood up and walked back slowly, not forgetting to tell Wu Yang.

"Go and invite people in!" Wu Yang sat on the chair, glanced at the butler, and ordered lightly.

Not long after, a man walked in. Judging from his clothes, he should be a fifth-rank general.The armor on his body is of fine quality at first glance, and the saber on his waist looks much better just by looking at the scabbard.As expected of the emperor's imperial guard, this equipment is better than his own.

"The humble Lu Ting has met Master Wu!" Although he saluted Wu Yang, Lu Ting did not kneel down, but said neither humble nor overbearing.

Wu Yang didn't find it strange either. The third-rank official in front of the prime minister's gate, let alone the emperor's gate, naturally dare not say the same thing.Politely inviting Lu Ting to sit down, Wu Yang smiled and said, "I don't know why General Lu is here?"

"The humble job is no nonsense. The imperial envoy invites you to go to the imperial envoy's office to discuss important matters!" Lu Ting did not procrastinate, and after finishing the matter, he waited for Wu Yang to speak.

It's a blessing or a curse, and it's a disaster that can't be avoided. It has reached this point, and Wu Yang didn't hesitate.Slowly stood up, glanced at Lu Ting, and said with a smile: "Then please trouble Mr. Lu to lead the way ahead, and I will go with you to see Mr. Zhou!"

Not long after Wu Yang and Lu Ting left, another group of people came before the hinterland of the governor's mansion, but this time it was Jin Yiwei.Without saying a word, these people found the butler directly.

"I don't know what's the matter here?" As the governor's butler, he was not polite to the captain of Jinyiwei.

However, the man sitting on the chair ignored the housekeeper, without raising his eyelids, and said indifferently: "Please come out with your wife, Mr. Wu will stay in the imperial envoy for a while, we will take your wife to accompany Wu grown ups!"

"I will send my wife to the imperial envoy, so I won't bother you!" The housekeeper is not a fool, how could he let his wife go with these people.

"You should invite your wife out! You are not the only servant who can decide this kind of thing, and we don't want to be rough." The tone was calm, but the meaning was full of threats.

But the housekeeper nodded. This matter really shouldn’t be up to him. He glanced at these people and said, “Everyone, I’ll ask Madam for advice later on!” The servant standing at the door ordered: "You keep an eye on them!"

"My lord, it's fine if you just arrest people, what's the point of talking to them?" A school captain of Jinyiwei said with a look of resentment on his face. (To be continued..)
