I am the carpenter king

Before the sun rose, the bells and drums were already ringing at the gate of the palace, and the ministers waiting for the court had already arrived.As an official in Nanjing, there are not many days to go to court, and it may be even more rare to go to court in the imperial palace in Nanjing.

Emperor Apocalypse came to Nanjing. For those who rebelled, it was a doomsday, but for many ministers, it was an opportunity.As long as he can perform well in front of the emperor, he will definitely be reused.Many people are downcast, and many people are complacent.

A group of people surrounded Wang Lun at this time, it can be said that it was very lively. Although he was very bored in his heart, he still had a gentle smile on his face.Since what happened last time, Wang Lun has been in the limelight in Qingliu for a while.I would rather die for my country than join forces with the rebels.Those who are thieves want to find a crack in the ground and sneak in.

"Go to court!" A eunuch in the palace shouted loudly, and then the guards standing in the hall also shouted loudly.The sound of going to court for a while resounded through the entire palace.All the officials carefully sorted out their disguises before raising their legs and walking into the palace.

When Emperor Tianqi appeared on the main hall, the ministers had already stood there, and the foreman of the civil servants was Guan Yingzhen who had just returned from Yangzhou.Although after a night's rest, his face was still a little tired.The fact that Guan Yingzhen can appear here is enough to show that Yangzhou's disaster relief has been properly arranged.The No. 1 military commander is naturally Wei Guogong, and no one has the guts to compete with him.Not only is Wei Guogong, but also the Minister of Military Aircraft, with a high position and authority.

"Play early if there is something to do. Leave the court if there is nothing to do!" Chen Hong opened his mouth and shouted loudly as soon as Emperor Tianqi sat down.

All the ministers below were silent, and no one stood up. With such a big incident in Nanjing, no one knew what to say at this time.

"The minister has his own play!" Seeing the embarrassment in the court, Guan Yingzhen quickly stood up, although his face was tired, but his spirit seemed to be very good.

Nodding his head slowly, Emperor Tianqi looked at Guan Yingzhen with a smile, and said softly, "Guan Aiqing. It's okay to talk if you have something to say!" Regarding Guan Yingzhen's disaster relief mission.Emperor Tianqi can be said to be very satisfied.There was no trouble, and too many people died. At this time, this is already not easy.

"Reveal to the emperor. Yangzhou's disaster relief has almost been completed. I have specially handed over the order to the emperor. I have written all the specific matters on the memorial. Please read it!" Come out with a memorial and raise your hands above your head.said respectfully.

Chen Hong walked down quickly, picked up Guan Yingzhen's memorial, and held it respectfully in front of Emperor Tianqi.

Reaching out to pick up the memorial, Emperor Tianqi said with a smile: "This is a big event. Aiqing has made great contributions, and I am very pleased. I will hand over the credit for Aiqing to the cabinet office. Aiqing has been working for so many days. You are very tired, you should take a rest!"

"These are the duties of a minister, and I dare not bow!" Guan Yingzhen retreated after a few words of humility, with an unprecedented relaxation on his face, and his tired expression seemed to have eased a lot.It seems that the errand can be handed over, and a burden is relieved in my heart.

"Aiqings, who else has this memorial?" Emperor Tianqi put Guan Yingzhen's memorial aside, and looked at the ministers below with a smile.

After being quiet for a while, Luo Sigong strode out, saluted respectfully, and said: "The Emperor Qizuo, the rebels who rebelled this time have been arrested, please issue an order to punish them." Emperor Tianqi only let himself arrest and interrogate He didn't tell himself about the matter of the case, this measure must be grasped, Luo Sigong understands it very well.

Nodding his head slowly, Emperor Tianqi glanced at Luo Sigong with satisfaction, and he became more and more able to handle things.Glancing at all the ministers, Emperor Tianqi said with a smile: "My loves, there are actually people in the land of Nanjing who resorted to fighting and plotting against the law. I don't know what you think, loves, can you tell me?"

"Your servant deserves death!" Everyone knelt down and said in fear.These are all officials in Nanjing. No one can escape responsibility for such a big incident in Nanjing.However, everyone was not too worried. They did not participate in the rebellion, so there was nothing to be afraid of.Moreover, the law does not punish the public, and the emperor will not order punishment.

He waved his hand to get everyone to stand up. Emperor Tianqi really couldn't punish everyone.His eyes swept over everyone's faces, and Emperor Tianqi said in a deep voice: "This case is handed over to Guan Aiqing for presiding trial, with Luo Sigong and Wei Guogong as jurors. In addition, the Nanjing Sanju Division sent people to hear the trial. What is the crime of treason?"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Everyone understood that Emperor Tianqi's trial was just a process.This process still has to go, one is deterrence, and the other is propaganda.

Emperor Apocalypse looked at the crowd, and couldn't help but lose interest in it, as his own thoughts were not on this.The treason case is in the past tense, what I have to do is to look forward.

"Your Majesty, I have a statement!" After everyone finished speaking, Wei Guogong stood up. It was time to speak by himself at this time.

"Aiqing has a book to play!" Emperor Tianqi looked at Wei Guogong expressionlessly, and there was not much emotion in his voice. No one knew what Emperor Tianqi was thinking at this time.

Wei Guogong didn't speak directly, he lifted up his clothes lightly, knelt down on the ground slowly, and said: "I have committed a crime, and I have betrayed the trust of the emperor. Please allow me to resign from the post of the governor of Nanjing's five armies!"

Emperor Tianqi frowned immediately, looked at Wei Guogong rather puzzled, and said in a deep voice, "Why did Aiqing say that?"

"The emperor ordered his ministers to guard Nanjing. Now there is such a thing as a rebellion in Nanjing. At this time, the minister is negligent. It is a crime! The emperor ordered the ministers to preside over the reform of Nanjing's military system. Instead of carrying out the reform, the minister provoked a rebellion. This is the second crime." Also. Mr. Zhou, as an imperial envoy, was stabbed to death in Nanjing. It was actually a disadvantage for his ministers to protect him. This is the third crime. When the rebellion broke out in Nanjing, the ministers failed to deal with it in time. It was the loss of officials. This is improper handling. The fourth crime. The traitor went halfway to assassinate the driver, but the minister failed to find out in time. This is negligence, and the fifth crime. With these five serious crimes, I am ashamed of my trust in the emperor. I have no face to be the governor of the Chinese army. Please allow the emperor I beg for the bones." Wei Guogong raised Zhezi high, knelt on the ground and waited for Emperor Tianqi's reply.

Looking at Wei Guogong who was kneeling on the ground, Emperor Tianqi had a complex expression of lying and sadness in his eyes, and shook his hands involuntarily. (To be continued..)
