I am the carpenter king

In the fourth year of Apocalypse, it was an autumn. A young man drew a circle on the South China Sea of ​​Daming.Standing at the bow of the boat, Emperor Tianqi was humming softly, with an indifferent and peaceful expression on his face.

Three days ago, all the affairs of the prince in the book were completed, and Emperor Tianqi also announced his upcoming southern tour.The reason was to worship Taizu. As for what happened in Nanjing, Emperor Tianqi did not mention it.The exact discount has not yet arrived, and Emperor Tianqi does not want to make it more difficult for him to go south.To persuade Sun Chengzong, Emperor Tianqi already felt quite strenuous.

Although some ministers objected, Emperor Tianqi worshiped the Taizu after all, and performed filial piety, and no one dared to directly object to it.Many people said that the cost was too high, and Emperor Tianqi said that the money was paid out of the internal treasury.

The ministers in the court are not stupid. Although the treasury has some money in the past two years, to be honest, it is not enough for Emperor Tianqi to go to Nanjing.But they can't say anything about the money in Emperor Tianqi's internal treasury, after all, it is Emperor Tianqi's private money.As for where the money came from, there are many people who can guess how much it is, but no one is stupid enough to say it.In recent years, many officials' salaries have come from the internal treasury, and the ministers themselves are not clean under their buttocks. Now the emperor is doing it, which makes many people breathe a sigh of relief.

The Crown Prince passed the decree to supervise the country, Liu Yijing, the first assistant scholar of the cabinet, and the first assistant military minister of the Military Aircraft Department to assist the government, and Wang An and Wang Chengen, the chief inspector of ceremonies, stayed in the capital.However, many ministers didn't think about it, because Emperor Tianqi's entourage in the south was much reduced, only more than 800 people.But what is surprising is still behind. Sun Chuanting, the left governor of the Beijing Five Armies Governor's Mansion, accompanied Emperor Tianqi to Nanjing.

The palace guards brought 500 people tightly, but the three major battalions brought a total of 2 people!Although there were only 5000 people accompanying them, the [-] people had already rushed to Nanjing day and night!

No one asked Emperor Tianqi what he wanted to do. This is not what a courtier should do, but the cost is too huge.Emperor Apocalypse has sent decrees to various governments.Do not build a palace, do not prepare to pick up the driver, and try not to disturb the people along the way.As for the things needed along the way, Longchang is responsible for purchasing all of them.

Emperor Apocalypse and his party of more than a dozen large ships were magnificent on the canal, as for the five thousand men and horses in the capital camp.It is marching along the banks of the canal.

"Your Majesty, this canal is much more prosperous!" An eunuch walked over from one side, with a little emotion on his face, and said.

Looking back at Chen Hong, Emperor Tianqi nodded and said, "I just returned to Beijing yesterday, and I left today. Go down and rest! I don't need anyone to wait on me here."

Chen Hong just returned to the capital yesterday, and he went out with Emperor Tianqi without taking a breath.He glanced at Emperor Apocalypse.Chen Hong said with a smile: "Your Majesty, in the past few years in Liaodong, the slaves have long been used to it! It is common to bump up and down immediately, and a little hard work is nothing."

Nodding his head, Emperor Tianqi said in a deep voice: "The errands in Liaodong are done well, and I will reward you for all of them. This time, the matter in Nanjing is more urgent. After you come back, I will reward you!"

"Your Majesty. The life of my servant belongs to the Emperor, and I should do some things. I don't dare to continue my work. I haven't been able to serve the Emperor in the past few years. I miss the Emperor very much!" Although the words were very explicit, Chen Hong's face But there was no flattery in the expression on his face, it was very serious, obviously these words came from the heart.

Smiling and glanced at Chen Hong, Emperor Tianqi didn't say anything.Looking at the torrential river with hands behind his back, his expression was a bit complicated.

"Your Majesty, everything has been arranged. I don't know what orders the Emperor has!" Sun Chuanting, dressed in military uniform, came up and bowed respectfully to Emperor Tianqi.Seriously.

After several years of training, Sun Chuanting has already lived up to his original appearance as a civil servant, with dark skin and a black beard covering his entire chin.The armor on his body is very solid, and the red cloak on his back flutters slowly with the wind. No matter how he looks at it, he looks like a generation of famous generals, or the appearance of a famous commander.

For Sun Chuanting, Emperor Tianqi was really satisfied, or leading troops in battle, Sun Chuanting was not as good as others, but this military training was definitely No.1 in the Ming Dynasty.Although Qi's army is famous, it is also the result of Qi Jiguang's training.In Emperor Tianqi's view, Sun Chuanting's ability to train troops can catch up with Qi Jiguang, but he may not be as good at leading troops in battle.

"Sun Aiqing, there's nothing else to do, how about coming over to talk to me?" Reaching out his hand to caress the railing, Emperor Tianqi said in a somewhat erratic voice.

Sun Chuanting was slightly taken aback, nodded, took a few steps forward, and said respectfully, "I listen to the hadith respectfully!"

Now it was Emperor Tianqi's turn to be dazed, why did he speak like that?Is he very majestic?Emperor Tianqi himself didn't know that over the past few years, Emperor Tianqi's image to the outside world has always been iron-blooded and dictatorial.Only a small number of courtiers know the good habit of humbly accepting suggestions, and of course Sun Chuanting knows it very well.But to be clear, he still didn't dare to act presumptuously in front of Emperor Tianqi.

After waving his hand, Emperor Tianqi said angrily and amusedly: "Okay, don't put on airs of your great general anymore, there are not so many rules when you go out. It's boring along the way, how about we chat with you?"

He blushed suddenly, but Sun Chuanting's face turned black, so he couldn't see anything.He bowed respectfully to Emperor Tianqi and said, "Yes, I understand!"

"Sun Aiqing, you said that Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty worked hard to build the Grand Canal in order to go to the south of the Yangtze River. The south of the Yangtze River went down, but he couldn't go back. It has been more than 1000 years, and the dynasties have changed, and the Grand Canal is still flowing here. But the Sui Yang Emperor back then is long gone, do you think that after thousands of years, will there be people here who will cherish me?" Emperor Tianqi looked into the distance and said in a slightly erratic voice.

This question is too vague. Sun Chuanting didn't know why Emperor Tianqi thought of this. After thinking for a while, he said, "Your Majesty, the dead are like a husband, and they never give up day and night! Human life is limited, but the river has no end. But the words are not true." That being said, there are times when the river dries up, and there is nothing static in the world. The Emperor Taizu was a hero and martial artist, and he established the foundation of the Ming Dynasty, which will be famous in history thousands of years later. He will not be reviled like Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty! "

Looking at Sun Chuanting with a smile, Emperor Tianqi nodded and said appreciatively, "Sun Aiqing is very insightful. I wonder what Aiqing thinks of me as the emperor?"

"Your Majesty is the Lord of Wisdom, the Lord of Zhongxing! The Ming Dynasty is flourishing under the Emperor's rule. Sooner or later, it will spread its majesty everywhere and deter the universe!" Sun Chuanting said with a serious expression without any hesitation this time.

He shook his head with a wry smile, this shouldn't be asked!Emperor Tianqi suddenly wished to have a courtier like Wei Zheng.Although there is an inspector's office in the court, most of the censors eat vegetarian meals in corpses.He regards himself as a clean stream, and what he does is often more disgusting than a turbid stream.Staring here and there every day, there are not many people who are sincere for the country.

After waving his hands, Emperor Tianqi didn't intend to continue the conversation. I don't know if it was because of military affairs. Emperor Tianqi felt that Sun Chuanting had changed.As an emperor, this change is gratifying, but Emperor Tianqi felt a little lost in his heart.

Not much happened, Emperor Tianqi walked towards Nanjing unhurriedly.

Since the last incident, the imperial envoys in Nanjing have all been under martial law, and the patrolling soldiers come and go.There were Jin Yiwei with Xiuchun swords and flying fish suits everywhere, the whole city of Nanjing was like this.

In the center of the imperial envoy's palace, there is a small three-story building, which was originally the residence of the imperial envoy Zhou Jiamo.At this time, there are Jinyiwei inside and out, not to mention people, not even a fly can fly in.What Luo Sigong claimed was that Zhou Jiamo was seriously injured, and that in the attic was a Jinyi guard pretending to be Zhou Jiamo.

Behind the small building is a large garden with pleasant scenery and fresh air.But at this moment, there is a faint smell of blood, which wafts in the air, making people frown.

The gazebo, which was originally a place to rest and enjoy the cool air, was completely unrecognizable at this time. Two men were tied to the pillars with their upper body naked.Cracked wounds can be seen everywhere on the body, and all the blood flowed out from there.Under the pavilion, Luo Sigong sat there with a tea bowl in his hand, but stared at the two tied people.

At this time Luo Sigong was different from the previous few days, his eyes were sunken, his face was haggard, and his temples had gray hair.Luo Sigong's age is not young, but he looked like 40 years old at first, but now he seems to be ten years older all of a sudden.

Putting the tea bowl on the table, Luo Sigong frowned and glanced at Dang Han on one side, and said, "After so long, these two people still don't recruit, what can you do?" These two people were the victims of the assassination night , Jin Yiwei tried his best to stay!They sent someone to watch them every day, for fear that the two of them would commit suicide.

"Their families are in the hands of those people. They won't recruit them until the last moment. Such beatings will have no effect in the future, but such beatings are indispensable!" Dang Han's expression remained the same. Very calmly, said softly.

Frowning, just as Luo Sigong was about to say something, a captain from outside quickly ran in, knelt down beside Luo Sigong, and said respectfully: "My lord, the capital is urgent!" He raised the letter in his hand In front of Luo Sigong.

Getting tired of spitting, Luo Sigong didn't know how many years he hadn't been so nervous, but without much preparation, he reached out and took the letter.Gently tore open the envelope and read it. After a long time, the letter slowly slipped from Luo Sigong's fingertips, and Luo Sigong fell into a daze.

The people on one side wanted to pick up the letter and read it, but without Luo Sigong's permission, no one dared to do that.After an unknown amount of time, Luo Sigong raised his head and murmured: "The emperor is here! The emperor is here!" (To be continued...)
