I am the carpenter king

Rubbing his swollen forehead, Emperor Tianqi put down the memorial in his hand. As an emperor, Emperor Tianqi's first reaction was to be tired.It was really exhausting, reading the memorial in the imperial study, and then falling asleep tiredly, this is already a habit that Emperor Tianqi took for granted.

However, many people became worried. The Queen Mother came here a lot recently, and every time she brought supplements, most of which were to invigorate the kidneys and strengthen the yang.This made Emperor Tianqi very embarrassed, but at the same time helpless.The more caring minister got the news from the eunuch, thinking that Emperor Tianqi hated his harem.

For a while, many ministers submitted a memorial, hoping that Emperor Tianqi would draft a girl to enrich his harem.For such a memorial, Emperor Tianqi couldn't laugh or cry.Looking at the resentful eyes of the concubines in the harem, Emperor Tianqi was also very helpless.Make up your mind that you must deal with things quickly tonight, and then go to bed early.

After taking a sip of tea, Emperor Tianqi once again focused his attention on the memorial in front of him, with a tired look on his face.But soon he was attracted by a memorial. This is a memorial from the Ministry of Rites, and the content is very simple, that is, the big Frankie has arrived in the capital!

The people of this age have their own names for the Spaniards and the Portuguese, and it does not matter what they call themselves.Daming is the kingdom of heaven, you are what you are called.Just like the Japanese, in the eyes of the people of the Ming Dynasty, they will always be Japanese.Spaniards are big Frankies, Portuguese people are little Frankies!As for the Dutch, the simpler one is Hongyi.The Hongyi cannon is the cannon imitated by the Dutch in the Ming Dynasty.

As for the countries in Europe, the Ming Dynasty had a unified title.That is the barbarians of the Far West.

Emperor Tianqi was more worried about this matter, and Emperor Tianqi had already made plans.I already have a plan in my heart.Although the Portuguese had written about it several times, Emperor Apocalypse ignored it.But now is the time to make sense.For Emperor Tianqi, interests are the most important.

"Your Majesty, it's getting late, you should rest early!" Wang Chengen walked to Emperor Tianqi's side, looked at Emperor Tianqi cautiously, and said respectfully.The expression on his face was very tangled, which was obviously done on purpose.

Emperor Tianqi naturally knew about Wang Chengen, seeing him make that expression.He laughed and scolded: "When people are old, they have become cunning. If you have anything to say, you must disgust me here. If you are making that kind of expression, I will let you read the memorial here."

Wang Chengen quickly put away that expression, looked at Emperor Tianqi with a smile, and said, "Nubei's thoughts can never be hidden from the emperor!" Seeing that Emperor Tianqi put down the memorial in his hand, he quickly continued: "Your Majesty, the Empress has sent People have come here four times, the emperor still goes to rest! The world is so big, things happen every day, and things are not resolved in one day. The emperor must take good care of the dragon body. Only then can the country of Daming be governed better!"

After glaring at Wang Chengen fiercely, Emperor Tianqi said with a little helplessness: "The queen asked you to say these words?"

Standing there awkwardly, Wang Chengen could only nod his head.At the same time, he secretly gave Emperor Tianqi a wink, indicating that there were people outside.

From what Wang Chengen said just now.Emperor Tianqi knew that Queen Zhang was coming, and he must be standing outside the door at this time.Now there are many voices of praise for Queen Zhang in the court.Known as the empress.Emperor Tianqi was approving memorials, and she rarely came in.

Standing up slowly and stretching his waist, Emperor Tianqi walked to Wang Chengen's side, patted his shoulder, and said with a smile: "It's really hard for you!"

"I killed the old slave, this is the blessing of the servant!" Wang Chengen bowed quickly and said with a smile.Wang Chengen was naturally extremely happy to have the emperor and queen trust him so much.

"Tomorrow let your nephew Wang Quan be the ceremonial member Wailang, and negotiate with the big Frankie and the little Frankie. I will send Chen Hong over there, in name to supervise, but actually to be the master, you have to tell you Brother." Emperor Tianqi seemed to have remembered something, and ordered with a serious face.

Wang Chengen quickly knelt down on the ground, kowtowed, and said loudly: "Thank you, Lord Long En, thank you Lord Long En!"

For his nephew, Wang Chengen is very caring. This is the first scholar in the Wang family.Because Wang Chengen gradually gained power in the court, the life of the Wang family was much easier.This Wang Quan was cultivated by the Wang family's hard work, and it can be said that it is the hope of the new generation of the Wang family.

For so many years, although Emperor Tianqi has reused eunuchs and Jin Yiwei, whether it is Wang Chengen, Chen Hong, or Luo Sigong in the court, they all have a very good reputation in the court.Therefore, Wang Quan entered the official career very smoothly, and those who knew his relationship with Wang Chengen gave him a lot of care.

In fact, Baiguan seems to be at odds with eunuchs. That is when the emperor and ministers are fighting for power. Normally, Baiguan still hopes to make friends with servants, because this is a good way to solidify favor.Just like teaching in the inner study, it has always been a job that Hanlin bachelors are vying for.

Signaling Wang Chengen to get up, Emperor Tianqi said with a smile: "Your nephew is not bad. I have been observing it for a while. But he is from Juren, after all, he is not good enough. But it doesn't matter, I don't know the background. After this incident , let it out! Whether it is the magistrate or the general judge, he can do it all, and I will choose a good place."

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Wang Chengen always felt that Emperor Tianqi had a conspiracy, but it was a good thing for the Wang family.Even if it's not a good thing, I must do it myself. This is the duty of being a slave.

"Okay, you go and make arrangements! I'm going out, so I can't let the empress wait outside for too long." Emperor Tianqi waved his hand, not looking at Wang Chengen, and strode outside.

Looking at Empress Zhang who was on airs, Emperor Tianqi shook his head helplessly, strode over, and said with a smile: "When did the emperor come? Why don't you let someone tell you?"

Empress Zhang didn't seem to hear Emperor Tianqi's words, she saluted Emperor Tianqi sternly, and said respectfully: "I have met the emperor! The emperor is working hard on state affairs, and I dare not disturb you. But I am also a woman. Waiting for my man here is also a matter of course. I can't lose my righteousness, so I can only express my thoughts here."

With this resentment, Emperor Tianqi felt that he was almost stumbled. It seemed that it would be difficult to appease Empress Zhang.

"Okay, queen, don't stand here anymore, I'll take you to rest!" Emperor Tianqi bit the word "rest" hard, stretched out his hand to hold Queen Zhang's hand, and walked towards Kunning Palace.

Although they are old couples, Empress Zhang is still a little embarrassed, and tried to pull out her hand several times, but Emperor Tianqi tried so hard that she couldn't pull it out no matter what.He had no choice but to lower his head, like a little girl who made a mistake, and followed Emperor Tianqi step by step.

Seeing this scene, Emperor Tianqi breathed a sigh of relief, with a happy smile on his face, it seems that tonight will not be too sad.

The news spread quickly. Although Emperor Tianqi went to rest, no one dared to delay the imperial decree.Early the next morning, Wai Lang Wang Quan, a member of the Ministry of Rituals, came to Honglu Temple, and of course the great eunuch Chen Hong.

Chen Hong's status is very high now, and after returning from Liaodong, his momentum has been the same for a while.Eunuch Wang An, the eunuch of the Supervisor of Ceremonies, is old and will retire soon. This Eunuch Chen is the most likely to take over.After all, Emperor Tianqi trusted him very much, and that was well known.

Originally, Wei Chao was also a good candidate, but now that Wei Chao is in charge of Dongchang, he is still stretched, so naturally he will not be placed in the position of the Supervisor of Rites.As for Wang Cheng'en, he has a special relationship with the Wei Dynasty. Naturally, Emperor Tianqi would not let them monopolize the Supervisor of Ceremony. Checks and balances are very important.At this time, Chen Hong naturally became a very suitable candidate, and he was in the limelight for a while.

Wang Quan is a young man, but he has a different maturity. He is very aware of his current situation, so he is neither humble nor overbearing towards Chen Hong beside him, making it impossible to find fault.

"Eunuch Chen, I don't know if we should meet the envoys from both sides together, or choose one of them first?" Wang Quan had already received his uncle's advice, and naturally he would not make decisions randomly. Looking at Chen Hong on the side, he asked softly.

Glancing at Wang Quan, Chen Hong smiled and said, "The little Frankies have been here for so long, we should see them first!"

Whether it is Wang Quan or Chen Hong, both of them are very clear that it is impossible for people from both sides to meet together.Wang Quan's question naturally established the primary and secondary status of the two people.

In the guest room of Honglu Temple, Portugal's special envoy Riel was walking back and forth, and he had lost his former composure.Ever since the Spaniards also arrived in Beijing, his heart has been carrying it.As for Neymar, the atmosphere is very tense at this time, and there have been troubles several times.

However, the officials of Honglu Temple were very polite and took them around Beijing several times and ate a lot of good food.But at this time, neither Riel nor Neymar was in the mood to eat.

But things took a turn for the better this morning, because they were notified by Honglu Temple that from today onwards, special ministers from the imperial court would contact them.Of course, he also had contact with the Spaniards at the same time. As for who to contact first, Riel had no idea.In his opinion, which side to contact first actually represents the choice of the Ming Dynasty.

The two fidgeted in the room, eagerly waiting for the news from outside.Soon an official from Honglu Temple came in, smiled and said to Ruier: "Special envoy, the people sent by the emperor have arrived, they want to see you two, please get ready!"

Reardon's face showed joy, he pulled the official and asked, "Did you see just the two of us?"

The officer on that side did not disappoint Riel, and nodded with a smile. (To be continued..)
