I am the carpenter king

After listening to Wei Guogong's words, the people outside didn't dare to delay, pushed the door open and walked in.It was Xu Liang, the steward of Duke Wei's mansion, who saluted Duke Wei and Mu Tianbo respectfully, and said, "Master Guo, this is the news from the capital just now!" He said and handed a letter in his hand to Duke Wei.

In this era, transportation is inconvenient, government orders are not accessible, and it is very inconvenient to convey them.Although the imperial court has reported it, it is after all a bureaucratic article, and the time is not accurate.Many people who are civil servants in the local area will have eyeliner in the capital. Some are people they send, and some are subordinates who have made friends or promoted. Such things are very normal in the Ming Dynasty.

Wei Guogong's mansion is a rare noble in Ming Dynasty, so there are naturally many such people, and naturally they can get a lot of news.Wei Guogong is still very interested in the content inside.Luo Sigong had already heard about the assassination in Xingyuan, an imperial envoy, it was a big deal!Wei Guogong, who originally wanted to report his own affairs, stopped after knowing this matter.

Although assassinating Wei Guogong is also a serious crime, it is still slightly worse than assassinating his own imperial envoy.It is impossible for the court to ignore the crime of rebellion!

However, after reading the letter, Wei Guogong couldn't help feeling a little different. Did he take it too seriously?Emperor Tianqi came in person, thinking of this, Wei Guogong couldn't help shaking his head and smiling bitterly, and sighed helplessly.

Mu Tianbo on the opposite side was a little puzzled, what happened?He couldn't help asking: "Master Guo, is there any news from the capital?"

Without answering Mu Tianbo's question, Wei Guogong handed him the letter in his hand, and Wei Guogong said with a smile: "Nephew, see for yourself!"

Although he was very puzzled in his heart, Mu Tianbo didn't ask anything, just nodded lightly, and took the letter paper over.Without the slightest delay.Take a quick look!In the end, he took a deep breath and said, "Master Guo, it seems that things have become serious!"

"The assassination of an imperial envoy is a big event! It's tantamount to conspiracy and the crime of rebellion! It's just that I didn't expect the emperor to come in person. It seems that I'm going to write an apology!" Although Wei Guogong was surprised.said with a wry smile.

Nodding his head differently, Mu Tianbo also felt that this apology should be written!On the territory of Nanjing, Wei Guogong, as the commander-in-chief of the Nanjing Military Region, cannot shirk his responsibility for such a rebellious turmoil!What's more, Emperor Apocalypse sent Wei Guogong back to preside over the military system reform. After so long, the military system reform has not been seen but such a vicious time has been released. Wei Guogong can hardly absolve himself of the blame!

Rather than waiting to be joined by others, it is better to take the initiative to ask for guilt!In addition to his son's matter, this time the crime is serious!It seems to be a big contribution.That's the only way to atone for the crime!

"Master Guo should carefully write this paper, take responsibility for what should be assumed, and resolutely deny what should not be admitted. It is best to briefly analyze this matter, have your own opinions, and those who have insight Seed." Mu Tianbo glanced at Wei Guogong, and offered his advice.

Although Wei Guogong has a special knife and pen master, but the grasp of the general direction is still a bit weak, which gave them the general direction.The memorial must have been written with colorful flowers.

Nodding his head, Wei Guogong said with a smile: "My nephew is really a great talent. I thought about going with me, and I will explain this matter right away! When they finish writing, show it to my nephew, and let my nephew help me!"

"Master Guo is too polite, how can my nephew, He De, it's just nonsense! It can't be true, it can't be true! Everything is still up to the Duke to decide, and my nephew is showing off with the flagpole?" Mu Tianbo quickly waved his hand. said with a smile.

"Okay, let's not be polite! I wonder if my nephew has any other suggestions? Let's hear it!" Wei Guogong looked at Mu Tianbo with a smile, as if he regarded Mu Tianbo as his staff.He also praised Mu Tianbo.

He lowered his head and thought for a while, then Mu Tianbo said seriously: "My lord, those people are obviously out of their minds to assassinate the imperial envoy, and they must be able to do anything. Now that the emperor is in Nanjing, they will definitely not sit still! As for these people If anyone is there, the Second Young Master must know it well, the Duke of the State can ask them. Send someone to investigate and monitor them in private, and there will definitely be unexpected gains!"

"Yes! Before the emperor comes, there must be some achievements, otherwise I will not be able to explain it at that time! After all, this matter, I can't push it away! If you get evidence or gain something, you can also be in the court at that time." In front of the emperor, I will make atonement." Wei Guogong knew in his heart that Emperor Tianqi would not punish himself too severely, at most, he would punish him with some money.

But there is one thing that Wei Guogong is very unwilling to see.I am now the Minister of Military Aircraft in charge of Nanjing's military reform. If Emperor Tianqi changes, then my reputation will be ruined.Not only his own, but the entire Duke Wei's mansion!Wei Guogong's mansion in Nanjing, Shizhen, the military reform failed to be completed, so where to put the face?In fact, it is embarrassing enough now, the dignified Duke Wei was assassinated in the Duke's mansion, and it would make people laugh out loud.

If you have gained something, it will be different!It can be said that he endured the humiliation, pretended to be injured, and then led the snake out of the hole.This is not a shame, but a show of face!

After thinking about it, Wei Guogong suddenly laughed, and said to Mu Tianbo on the side: "It's time to let them see that the hand of Wei Guogong's mansion is broken. If the tiger doesn't show its power, it's still a tiger! Let this group of self-righteous people see it, who is it?" You can't touch a tiger's butt!"

Seeing that Duke Wei had figured it out, Mu Tianbo didn't say anything. Mu Tianbo was naturally very relieved about the strength of Duke Wei's mansion in Nanjing.From the founding of the Ming Dynasty to the present, more than 200 years of operation, that is not just talk.Although it is not as good as the government of Qianguo's government in Yunnan, it is definitely intricate and full of tentacles!

"Actually, what we do is just for show, I believe the emperor knows more than us!" Wei Guogong seemed to remember something, and sighed helplessly, said.

"Why did the Duke make such a statement? Could it be that someone would secretly report to the emperor that it would not work?" Mu Tianbo was taken aback, and asked hastily.

Waving his hand, Wei Guogong said: "You know about the affairs of Wei Guogong's mansion when Emperor Chengzu was Jing Nan?"

Of course Mu Tianbo knew that the Duke of Wei at that time was Xu Zuhui, who was loyal to Emperor Jianwen.He led troops to defeat King Yan's army. When King Yan crossed the Yangtze River, Xu Zuhui led his troops to fight by the river.It can be said that from the beginning to the end, he was unwavering!

When Emperor Chengzu entered Beijing, he did not surrender, greet him, or kneel down!Chengzu wanted to kill him, but Zhu Yuanzhang's canonized imperial decree contained the saying that he would not die, so he cut off his title and put him under confinement.

This period of history is a taboo in Wei Guogong's mansion, everyone pretends to be confused, and no one will mention it.Mu Tianbo didn't know why Wei Guogong mentioned it, but it certainly wasn't for no reason.About this, I really can't talk, so I can only listen quietly.

"Emperor Chengzu moved his capital to Beijing. In order to prevent turmoil in Nanjing, he planted Jinyiwei spies in Nanjing. The emperors of all dynasties are also worried, and the number of Jinyiwei spies is also increasing. The Jinyiwei commander in Nanjing is just a decoration, a real spy. Everything is controlled in Beijing." A look of helplessness flashed in Wei Guogong's eyes, there are Jinyiwei spies all over Wei Guogong's mansion, I'm afraid I can't hide the truth from Emperor Tianqi whoever I sleep with at night.

"It's the same in Dongchang. Their spies are everywhere, especially in the homes and government offices of officials. They can be said to be everywhere. These people are just like normal people, working hard as officials and serving the people. Some people I have never revealed my identity in my whole life, and it has been passed on to my children and grandchildren. But when these people are used, it will be of great effect!" Wei Guogong is also helpless about this kind of thing.

Nodding his head, Mu Tianbo has also heard about it. Nanjing is the rear of Daming, so there is absolutely nothing to lose.It is normal for the emperor to spread spies here, so there is nothing to make a fuss about.

"On weekdays, these people don't move, but now that something so big has happened, these people should come out! Those people still want to fight with the emperor, and I'm afraid they don't know how they died!" Wei Guogong sneered, coldly road.

"Grandpa, there is no need to think about many things, and you can't think about them! It is more important than anything else to do your own thing well. We, the Duke's mansion, are so big! Sometimes I wish there would be more spies in the Duke's mansion. , it’s best to find out what color underwear I like to wear!” Seemingly feeling that Wei Guogong was a little excited, Mu Tianbo poured a glass of wine for Wei Guogong, and said with a smile.

Staring at Mu Tianbo for a while, Wei Guogong nodded slowly, and said: "Yes! My nephew is right. If you drink too much wine, you will easily talk nonsense. When Emperor Taizu founded Jinyiwei, the secret agent How much is spilled? Who knows? Maybe the people you trust the most are spies from Jin Yiwei! We have a clear conscience, these are all appetizers!"

"Master Guo, arrange someone to investigate tomorrow! Sooner rather than later, no matter if there is any movement from Jin Yiwei, we will do our job!" Seeing that Wei Guogong was drinking too much, Mu Tianbo brought the wine jar over and changed the subject. .

"Okay! Let's do it tomorrow!" Wei Guogong nodded vigorously, fell headlong on the table, and snored instantly.

Whether he was really drunk or pretended to be drunk, Mu Tianbo felt that Wei Guogong was really drunk, and it was just a slip of the tongue after drinking!The caller carried Wei Guogong down, and he himself returned to the room.

Here, when Wei Guogong was about to go to sleep, in the imperial envoy's camp, Luo Sigong, the commander of Jinyiwei, was looking through a list.The booklets that are not available are bound together, and the names of people are densely packed on them, and there are detailed introductions at the back.In some cases, several names are arranged, which are passed down from generation to generation.

Gently fumbling for the booklet in his hand, Luo Sigong picked up a pen and ink on one side, and slowly wrote dozens of names on it. (To be continued..)
