I am the carpenter king

Looking seriously at Doctor Zhou, Wei Guogong sighed softly, and said, "Now that the baby is in the hands of those people, what are you going to do?"

"How did this old man do it? My lord, since I have reported the truth to the Duke, I still hope that the Duke can find a way for the old man. You don't have to take it too seriously, even if the baby can't come back in the end, then I can only blame my baby's bad life." Although Doctor Zhou spoke resolutely, the expression on his face was still unusually hurt, after all, he was Doctor Zhou's only son.

Nodding his head slowly, Wei Guogong also understood in his heart, pondered for a moment, and said: "Since this is the case, let's leave this matter as it is! From today onwards, I will be bedridden. You can negotiate with them and see if you can let me go. They put the baby back. But it's unlikely, so I'll give it a try anyway. I'll think of a way, check it out in private, and try to get the baby back!"

"The old man thanked the Duke of the country. These people have great ambitions, and the Duke of the country must be careful! The life of the old man's family is given to the Duke of the country, and that is also a due responsibility. Don't delay it because of the son's affairs." It's a big matter for the Duke of the country." Doctor Zhou is not stupid, so we can naturally see the difference from this.Wei Guogong dared to assassinate, these people really have nothing to dare to do.

Taking a deep look at Doctor Zhou, Wei Guogong nodded solemnly. This time is really troublesome, and the city of Nanjing may not survive in peace!

Early the next morning, two shocking news broke out in Nanjing City, one was that there was an assassin in the palace of the imperial envoy, and the other was that there was also an assassin in Wei Guogong's mansion.The imperial envoy Zhou Jiamo was seriously injured and fell into a coma. Of course, this was fake news released by Luo Sigong.Wei Guogong was also seriously injured, and now he is in a coma. Of course, this was also false news from Wei Guogong's mansion.

For a while, there was a lot of noise in Nanjing, and soldiers were everywhere on the streets.The captain of Jinyiwei also haunts from time to time.The whole city of Nanjing was in panic, and the officials even closed the gates tightly, no longer seeing foreigners.

The city of Nanjing is full of turmoil, but the city of Beijing is preparing for the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the streets are very lively.Naturally, the palace is even more lively, with people coming and going!Two concubines in Emperor Tianqi's harem were pregnant.For a time, the entire Forbidden City was beaming.

On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Emperor Tianqi spent a happy festival with the Empress Dowager, and the eldest prince was already babbling.The whole day, the father, the queen, and the queen called, no matter whether it was called or not, Emperor Tianqi and Queen Zhang agreed with a smile.

The reform of the military system in the nine towns has been fully rolled out, Sun Chengzong and Ding Guogong are all in place, and the work has started in an orderly manner.Everything is going well with the Imperial Academy and the National Armed Forces Academy, and there is no problem with the Wuyan Institute.The research and improvement of firearms has gradually been on the right track, and the scale and output of the firearms factory have stabilized.

The expansion of the three battalions and the equipment of firearms are also in full swing.Everything was slowly implemented according to Emperor Tianqi's idea.Although there were occasional natural disasters in various places, the imperial government's disaster relief work was also very effective, but there were no major problems.

Most of the grain collected from various places has been collected, and it has already started to be shipped to the capital, and the treasury has more money, and everything is very harmonious.

The happy time is always short, when Emperor Qi saw Luo Sigong's memorial.The happy mood was swept away.Throwing the memorial in his hand viciously, Emperor Tianqi's face was very ferocious.His whole body was trembling uncontrollably, his lips were clenched tightly, and he didn't even notice the bleeding!

"Your Majesty, the dragon's body is important!" The eunuchs and maids in the hall knelt on the ground. They haven't seen Emperor Tianqi in such a situation for a long time. It seems that this time the matter is serious!Carefully picked up the memorial.Wang Chengen walked to Emperor Tianqi's side and comforted him.

Without looking at anyone, Emperor Tianqi slowly sat down on the dragon chair as if the strength in his body had been drained.That stubborn figure kept flashing in Emperor Tianqi's mind, his body bent because of old age.It seems to be able to lift the whole world.

"Your Majesty, I want to go to Jiangnan, please give me the identity of inspecting Jiangnan!"

"Your Majesty, it is very rare for the officials to preside over the disaster relief without any mistakes! If you let his avatar deal with profiteers and corrupt officials, I am afraid that he will be powerless. I will go to the south of the Yangtze River and not interfere with the disaster relief. I will focus on investigating the officials in the south of the Yangtze River and clarify the officialdom. !"

"Your Majesty, I am 83 this year. As the saying goes, 7384, the king of Hades will not tell me to go! I am old, but I am not reconciled in my heart. I want to see the Ming Dynasty become stronger, restore the glory of the Taizu, and shock the world. Bafang! Now that most of my body has been buried in the soil, let me do something for Daming! I know that the emperor has great ambitions in his heart. I may not see that day, but I am willing to make a contribution to the emperor's great ambitions. Participate!"

"Your Majesty, if you can do your part for the Emperor and Daming, the veteran will die without regret!"

Scenes of farewell flashed in Emperor Tianqi's mind one after another, the old face became clearer and clearer, but Emperor Tianqi's heart ached more and more.For a long time, for the ministers in the court, Emperor Tianqi only valued the center and ability, but at this time, Emperor Tianqi's psychology seemed to be hammered by something.

His face was a little pale, Emperor Tianqi clutched his chest, it was really congested there!Thinking back to that pilgrim-like old man, before walking in front of the Forbidden City, he bowed three times and kowtowed nine times, shouting in his mouth: Great Ming Dynasty forever!Long live my emperor, long live, long live!The voice was in the ears, but the person was no longer there, and Emperor Tianqi felt even more sad.

Constantly groping for the memorial, blood red flashed in Emperor Tianqi's eyes, and he slowly straightened up.Stretching out his hand to caress the dragon head on the dragon chair, a resolute look flashed across his face.

Looking back at Wang Cheng'en, Emperor Tianqi's face was calm, and he asked, "Have you asked for the appointment of the crown prince recently?"

Hearing Emperor Tianqi's question, Wang Chengen's mind suddenly sank, and a look of panic flashed across his face.Looking at Emperor Tianqi in disbelief, he said in awe, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Nubei, Nubei!"

Frowning and looking at Wang Chengen, Emperor Tianqi scolded: "If there is, there will be, if there is no, there will be no, why are you hesitating!"

"Go back to the emperor, yes! Minister of Rites Zou Cheng has just delivered the memorial, please establish the crown prince!" Wang Chengen was startled, although he was still full of worries, he still spoke.

"Zou Cheng?" Emperor Tianqi suddenly laughed, he did not expect to be him, shook his head, Emperor Tianqi continued: "This person is not successful, how can I give him the credit for supporting him! Is there anyone else?"

"Going back to the emperor, if you have one, it's not enough. Ni Yuan, head of the household department, wrote on the road to ask for the crown prince!" Wang Chengen thought for a while, and quickly named one person.

He nodded slowly, Ni Yuanlu is not bad, he is a talent.It doesn't matter if the official is small now, he will grow up slowly, and it is very suitable for him to support him.After thinking for a while, Emperor Tianqi said to Wang Cheng'en: "Tomorrow, the Great Court Meeting will be held. All civil officials above rank five and military officials above rank four in Beijing must participate!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, Nubei is going to deliver the decree!" At this time, Wang Chengen didn't dare to ask anything, and quickly replied respectfully.

"Wait a minute, you are going to the cabinet and tell the cabinet ministers to draw up an imperial edict to establish a crown prince!" Before Wang Chengen could walk out, Emperor Tianqi ordered again.

Now Wang Chengen was stunned, turned around and knelt on the ground, loudly said: "Your Majesty!"

"What's it called! I'm not dead yet, aren't I making a fuss these days to establish a crown prince? Then establish a crown prince!" Emperor Tianqi's attitude seemed to be very casual, and he ordered in a calm tone.

Without saying anything, Wang Chengen knew that he had no right to speak about this matter, so he saluted respectfully and walked out.

But not far away, Wang Chengen met a person, it was Wei Chao, the governor of the East Factory.At this time, Wei Chao's face was full of solemnity, and he was holding a memorial in his hand with great force.

"Eunuch Wei, I don't know where this is going?" Wang Chengen knew that Wei Chao was going to meet Emperor Tianqi, but he still stopped Wei Chao.

"It turned out to be the prince. There is a secret report from Dongchang. Our family is going to report it to the emperor. Is the emperor free now? I don't know who is serving the emperor?" Wei Chao said with a smile when he saw Wang Chengen.

Looking around, seeing that no one was paying attention, Wang Chengen said in a low voice: "Eunuch Wei, just now Jin Yiwei sent a booklet, the emperor is not in a good mood. This is not good news, or it is not so urgent, we advise you You better go in later!"

Wei Chao was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head with a wry smile, Wei Chao said with a little helplessness: "My lord, you are really going to be disappointed in this matter, this is really not good news, and it must be presented to the emperor." .”

"Eunuch Wang!" Before Wang Chengen could speak, a voice suddenly came from behind, and Chen Lin ran over anxiously.

Seeing Chen Lin's appearance, Wang Chengen knew that Emperor Tianqi had an order, and before Chen Lin could speak, he asked, "But what is the emperor's order?"

"Yes, the emperor asked the Supervisor of Liaodong to draw up an edict to drop Chen Hong, the eunuch in charge of Liaodong, and return to Beijing! In addition, the cabinet drafted an order to summon Sun Chengzong, the chief minister of military aircraft, to return to Beijing, and hand over the reform of the military system to Xiong Wencan, Minister of the Ministry of War! Immediately No delay!" Chen Lin didn't think too much, his face was full of joy, his godfather was coming back, so he must be getting better.

Wang Chengen on the one side turned pale immediately, stabilized his mind, and said to Wei Chao on the other side: "Eunuch Wei, our family is going to pass the decree, you follow Eunuch Chen to meet the emperor!"

Whilst wagging, Wang Chengen was thinking, and the worry in his heart became more and more serious.Wang Chengen was very clear about Emperor Tianqi's emphasis on military system reform.Now that Sun Chengzong is so urgently sent back to Beijing, what happened?Chen Hong was also jumped back, something big happened!
