I am the carpenter king

Apocalypse four years, the first day of September.

Although it is already September, the weather is still very hot. Although the sun has just risen, it has already begun to scorch the earth.Pedestrians walking on the road have already begun to wipe their sweat, and the wind makes it even more stuffy and oppressive.

The gate of Nanjing City had just been opened, and before the peddlers could enter, countless soldiers on horseback flew out of the city.Their horses all carried a command flag, and they left quickly without looking at anyone!

120 miles away from Nanjing, Emperor Tianqi stretched out at the bow of the boat, looked at the rising sun, and smiled faintly.After moving his body and taking a deep breath, Emperor Tianqi suddenly felt refreshed.

"Your Majesty, breakfast is ready!" Chen Lin walked to Emperor Tianqi's side, saluted respectfully, and said.Since Chen Hong left the fleet, Chen Lin took over from Chen Hong and took care of Emperor Tianqi's daily life on board.

Nodding his head, Emperor Tianqi glanced at Chen Lin with a smile, and said, "We've come all the way, and we're finally arriving in Nanjing. I don't know how things are going with your godfather!"

"The emperor is blessed with great blessings, blessed by the Holy Grace, and Eunuch Chen is doing his best. There must be good news coming soon. The emperor does not need to worry too much." Seeing Emperor Tianqi walking back, Chen Lin quickly turned sideways in front Leading the way, said with a smile.

Waving his hand, Emperor Tianqi scolded with a smile: "You slaves are becoming more and more talkative, I really don't know who they are talking to. I can't believe your nonsense, otherwise I won't let you coax me so hard that I can't find you. "

"The servants are just telling the truth, but they dare not lie to the emperor!" Chen Lin knew that Emperor Tianqi was not angry, but in a good mood, so he continued naturally.

Back to the cabin to have breakfast, but Emperor Tianqi had just eaten half, when a little eunuch came in.Whispered a few words in Chen Lin's ear.Then he turned around and backed out.

"What's wrong? Is there something wrong?" Emperor Tianqi asked intentionally or unintentionally without looking up when he saw this scene.All the big and small matters on the ship were handled by special personnel, and the news that can be reported here must not be small, and Emperor Tianqi knew it very well.

Chen Lin hurriedly walked to the opposite side of Emperor Tianqi.Kneeling on the ground, he said: "Report to the emperor, Eunuch Chen is back!"

Slightly taken aback, frowned, put down the chopsticks in his hand, and Emperor Tianqi asked with some doubts: "Didn't you go to Nanjing? Why did you come back at this time? Did something happen?"

"I didn't report this, but Eunuch Chen said that if there is an important matter, he must act like the emperor, and he must be like Chen above the emperor!" Chen Lin knelt on the ground and said without daring to raise his head.

nodded.It seemed that Chen Hong had something to do when he came back. He glanced at Chen Lin, and Emperor Tianqi said, "Go! Bring Chen Hong in!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Chen Lin hurriedly saluted respectfully, quickly got up from the ground, and retreated respectfully.

Not long after, Chen Lin walked in with the dusty Chen Hong. At this time, Chen Hong no longer had the gentle and elegant image of the past.The whole person looked rather downcast.There are several holes in the clothes on his body, and the sweat on his beard.A few strands have stuck together.

Lifting up his clothes and kneeling on the ground, Chen Hong said with a trembling voice: "Slave Chen Hong, see the emperor, long live my emperor!"

Seeing the excited Chen Hong, Emperor Tianqi stood up from his chair and helped Chen Hong up.Said in a deep voice, "Did something happen? Tell me!"

"Your Majesty, there is nothing wrong with you. The servants can see that the Emperor is safe and sound. Nothing is wrong!" Chen Hong stood up respectfully, tears streaming down his face.His face was full of smiles.

Looking at Chen Hong with a smile, Emperor Tianqi patted him on the shoulder lightly, and said, "Okay, don't cry anymore! You are such a big man, what can't be done!" He walked back to the chair, and continued to eat own breakfast.

Glancing at Chen Lin on the side, Emperor Tianqi smiled and ordered: "Go and get some water for your godfather, let him wash his face and hands! Then add a chair and bring a pair of bowls and chopsticks!" Said Turning to Chen Hong again, he said with a smile: "Clean up, come and have breakfast with me!"

Chen on the side quickly wiped away his tears, and said fearfully: "Thank you, Majesty Long En, this is killing the slaves, and the slaves dare not kill them!"

"Okay, don't talk about this! Hurry up, you're so nagging!" Emperor Tianqi waved his hand, his face darkened, and he said impatiently.

"Yes, you don't need to go here!" With a smile on his face, Chen Hong bowed respectfully and withdrew.

However, Emperor Tianqi had already finished eating, and Chen Hong came back from the outside.The hair was sparse and meticulous, and he put on the eunuch's clothes again.The water stains on the hair are not dry yet, it is obvious that they have just been washed.

"Didn't I tell you to eat first? Why did you run to take a shower?" Emperor Tianqi waved his hand and said, "Go and eat!"

"Your Majesty, these are some things that I found out in Nanjing. Please take a look at them!" He took out something from his body and handed it to Emperor Tianqi respectfully, and Chen Hongcai stood aside.

Reaching out to take the memorial, Emperor Tianqi smiled and said, "You go and eat! I read and asked, and you answered it! Why are you rushing back in such a hurry? But what happened to Nanjing?"

"Reporting to the emperor, there is nothing wrong with it, but the slave servant was anxious to report back when he learned that they were going to send someone to assassinate the emperor. Unexpectedly, he came back too late. Fortunately, the emperor is full of blessings, and everything went well without any surprises or dangers. "Chen Hong took a sip of the soup, and said hastily when he heard Emperor Tianqi's question.Saying it at this time is not considered merit, but it is much more useful than merit.

Without saying anything, Emperor Tianqi unfolded the memorial, which described Chen Hong's trip to Nanjing in detail.There is another piece of paper at the back, which is Cui Fu's list.The original memorial looked like the ink was still wet, and it was evident that Chen Hong had just returned to the ship and wrote it.

"Sun Chuanting!" Emperor Tianqi put the memorial aside and said to Chen Lin at the door.

Not long after, Sun Chuanting came in with his armor on, and said with a respectful face: "My minister, Sun Chuanting, sees the emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

Signaling Sun Chuanting to get up, Emperor Tianqi picked up Chen Hong's memorial and said, "Ai Qing, this is what Chen Hong brought back from Nanjing. Take a look!"

Respectfully accepting the memorial, Sun Chuanting's face was a bit dignified, obviously he attached great importance to the word "Nanjing".After reading it carefully, Sun Chuanting handed it back to Emperor Tianqi, frowning.

"Sun Aiqing, it doesn't matter if you have something to say!" Emperor Tianqi's face was also very serious, and he waved his hand to make all the eunuchs and maids retreat, leaving only Chen Hong and his son to serve.

"Your majesty, I feel that your majesty can't move forward. We will stop here for the time being and wait for the arrival of the rear army! Now the majesty only has [-] men and horses around the capital camp, which is too thin. When we arrive in Nanjing, if there is any mistake, I can't afford it! Please, Your Majesty, think of the common people in the world and the well-being of the people!" Sun Chuanting looked very serious, and his face was a little gloomy.

He picked up the memorial and tapped it lightly. Emperor Tianqi didn't answer Sun Chuanting's question, but simply asked: "Sun Aiqing, why do you think so? Tell me!"

"Yes, Your Majesty! I just looked at the list. There are not only civil servants on it, but also generals like An Xiangbo. It is clearly written in Chen Gonggong's memorial. Wei Guogong was assassinated and is now sick in bed. The military power is in charge of An Xiangbo. Now that the assassination of the emperor has failed, these people must be desperate. If the emperor comes to Nanjing now, there is no guarantee that they will not struggle to the death. Then the emperor will be in danger. If the emperor makes any mistakes, I will not be able to explain to Wanmin!" Sun Chuanting was not guessing, But yes!

As the saying goes, if the fish dies and the net breaks, those people will never sit still and wait for death, they will definitely do the same thing.Bringing only 5000 people to Nanjing, it can be said that there are more bad luck than good luck.However, Sun Chuanting is also confident that as long as the remaining [-] poor people are all present, it will be very simple to destroy the rebels.After all, the combat power of the Beijing camp is there, and the soldiers and horses in Nanjing have almost no combat power.

Those people rebelled in a hurry, and there must be a small number of people who are willing to follow the rebellion. When the time comes to suppress and appease, the rebellion must be quelled overnight.At this time, Sun Chuanting was worried about Emperor Tianqi. Once Emperor Tianqi insisted on going his own way and something happened in Nanjing, it would really be a harbinger of chaos in the world.

Emperor Tianqi stood up slowly, paced around the room, and finally looked at Sun Chuanting, and said, "How long will it take to arrive? How long will it take for the 5000 troops to arrive?"

"Your Majesty, three days at most! I can send someone to deliver the order, and I believe it will arrive in two days!" After all, the army traveled by land, which is not the same as Emperor Tianqi's boat.

"Okay! You make arrangements!" Emperor Tianqi was not stupid, he didn't come to Nanjing to die, he hadn't lived enough yet!Emperor Tianqi would not do such a risky thing.

At this time in Nanjing City, couples of people began to gather in the city, and their destination was the school grounds in Dongcheng.There is a place where martial arts are performed every year, and the place is so spacious that other places in the city really can't accommodate it.

In Duke Wei's mansion, Luo Sigong walked back and forth anxiously at the door, Luo Sigong, whose temples were already gray, looked a little old.Luo Sigong, who was always calm and indifferent, suddenly felt powerless at this moment.However, none of these could occupy his heart, instead the impatience and anxiety that rarely appeared before surrounded Luo Sigong.

"My lord, my lord invites you in!" The housekeeper came to Luo Sigong's side, smiled and said respectfully.

Taking a deep breath, Luo Sigong also knew that only Wei Guogong could control the situation at this time.After sorting out his thoughts, Luo Sigong returned to his usual indifference, nodded to the butler, and strode in!However, his feet seemed to be very hard, and each step made a crisp sound.
