Daming One Piece

Chapter 139 The Carpenter Emperor
The Qing Palace is so quiet that you can hear a needle drop!
Anyone can feel the invisible pressure.

The emperor is very angry!
Wei Zhongxian, who hung his head and said nothing, just looked at the things thrown on the ground, the emperor was furious!
It's not that he is too angry, he will definitely not lose his composure like this.

"Are they really not afraid of death?"

Zhu Youxiao stared at Wei Zhongxian coldly.

The reason why he was so annoyed was because those spies actually wanted to assassinate him!It was almost about to start. Wang Gong's factory stored hundreds of thousands of catties of gunpowder. Once it was detonated, the entire capital might be razed to the ground!

Thinking that he was almost assassinated, how could Zhu Youxiao not be annoyed!
"The old slave doesn't know whether they are afraid of death or not, but the old slave knows that the reason why those slave spies were able to lurk in the capital is because of those profiteers. Without those profiteers providing them with a place to stay, they naturally couldn't stay. Come on, moreover, those profiteers also used the relationship between the court and China to provide them with military information, and the court has repeatedly failed in Liaodong in the past few years, and the outstanding payment has nothing to do with it."

What Wei Zhongxian said seemed to make sense, but in Tian Qi's ears, he nodded in agreement.

"Small details are hateful, profiteers are even more hateful, and treacherous ministers are even more hateful!"

"Gu Qing's family, how do you think this matter should be handled?"

Seeing His Majesty asking himself, Gu Bingqian said quickly.

"Your Majesty, in my opinion, the profiteers involved should be arrested immediately and severely interrogated to find out who was involved."

As we all know, the chief assistant Gu Bingqian is an eunuch, and he drafted the imperial decree basically following the meaning of obeying Wei Zhongxian in everything.For him who is over seventy years old, he has long made up his mind to give a speech and return to his hometown, but now he feels like he has walked outside the gate of hell.Even when he heard the news from Wei Zhongxian, he was so frightened that he broke out in cold sweat, and a sense of fear that he had never felt before surged in his heart.

Why are you afraid!
Compared to Wei Zhongxian, Gu Bingqian, who is the chief assistant, knows better what will happen if the gunpowder depots in Wang Gong Factory are all blown up!
It's more than regicide and treason!

It is simply a change of dynasty!

"Your Majesty, I believe that this matter must be thoroughly investigated. After all, if spies detonate nearly one million catties of gunpowder in the gunpowder depot of Wanggong Factory, and the capital is razed to the ground, not only will the six departments be completely destroyed, but if your Majesty suffers another accident, then only I'm afraid, I'm afraid...the country will not be the country!"

After all, Gu Bingqian didn't dare to say another word, he was deeply afraid that he would offend the emperor again by accident.In fact, the reason why he said this was because he knew very well that once Beijing's Sixth Division was wiped out, it would be cheaper there - Southern Metropolis Sixth Division!
There are quite a few Donglin Party members or people who sympathize with the Donglin Party in the Sixth Department of the Southern Metropolis. The vast majority of people there do not deal with the so-called "eunuch party". Will they be involved in this matter?
Gu Bingqian did not dare to say yes, nor did he dare to say no, but the experience of so many ups and downs in the officialdom told him that this matter is not easy!
What is subtle sabotage? This is clearly a coup d'état!
It may even be a long-planned usurpation!
Gu Bingqian would think so, and Tianqi would also think so.

"They have eaten the bear's heart and leopard's courage, so they have ulterior motives. Do you really think that I won't kill people?"

With a cold face, Zhu Youxiao stared outside the hall for a moment of silence, then said.

"At the meeting of Shenzong, those people forced Shenzong not to go to court for decades. I used to think that the Donglin Party and other things were making a fuss. In the final analysis, it was for the country of Ming Dynasty and the people of the world, but they said so , but what is it actually doing? Those profiteers colluded with Jianlao, it can also be said that it is for money, the profiteers are greedy for money, but they are not as good as those profiteers? What are they for? They have read for so many years Book of sages! In the past, I thought that many of them had the country in their hearts, that is, sometimes they did not have the same heart with me, and they were all for Ming Dynasty, but I did not expect that these rebellious officials and thieves would not die, and they would even collude with the intention of building slaves Murder me, don't they know what the emperor is angry?"

When he said these words, Zhu Youxiao, who was burning with anger, was also a little scared!

Even the more he thought about it, the more afraid he became, how could he not be afraid?

After all, in the event of an explosion, not only he will die, but his son, including his younger brother Li, who lives in the ten princes' mansion, is likely to die. If they all die in the explosion, the sixth department in the capital will suffer heavy losses, and the sixth department in the southern capital will definitely take power , then what do they do?
They will select a close branch from the suzerain to inherit the Datong.

The one who is most likely to be selected is probably Fu Wang...

Thinking of the emperor's uncle, Zhu Youxiao's brows furrowed into a ball.

Whether King Fu was involved in it, Zhu Youxiao didn't know, and he didn't even care. After all, no matter who they choose, one thing is certain is that in a long time, the emperor will definitely become a pawn in their hands. Can a clan rival Sejong?
But even if he is as smart as Sejong, how many years have he been fighting with Yang Tinghe and those civil servants who have meritorious support?Even he used Yan Song to suppress civil servants.

It's a pity that after Yan Song, there is no more Yan Song.It's not that there is no Yan Song, but that no civil servant will be able to do Yan Song anymore.

No civil servant is willing to be the emperor's sword anymore.None of them would ever kill themselves as scholars in the world for the sake of power like Yan Song.

To deal with those civil servants, the emperor must have his own sword.

Thinking this way in his heart, Zhu Youxiao set his sights on Wei Zhongxian, and finally on Gu Bingqian. Gu Bingqian couldn't become the sword in the emperor's hand. Why did he obey Wei Zhongxian? To put it bluntly, he used This kind of obedience is to pick himself up - to the outside world, he Gu Bingqian is an incompetent person, but it is Wei Zhongxian's response, he is not the emperor's sword!

Who is the sword in the hands of the emperor?
Only Wei Zhongxian is left!Although he has no ability, he is willing to do those things, and he is better than Yan Song when he does things.

Besides him, who else would be willing to be the emperor's sword?
Being an emperor is helpless.

At least for Zhu Youxiao, he was very helpless. From Shizong to Shenzong, and then to him, the huge civil service group was completely out of the control of the imperial power.

Clever as Shizong used Yan Song as a knife, he failed to straighten out the Qing government. As for Shenzong, he could only strike passively in the end.

What about him?

What can he do?

Zhu Youxiao thought of the situation he faced when he first succeeded to the throne. Being an emperor...is really not easy.

What Grandpa Huang didn't do well, can he do well?
Tian Qi has no bottom in his heart.

Staring at the half-finished building pattern (model) on the table, Zhu Youxiao thought... I just want to be a good carpenter emperor.
