I'm really not the carpenter emperor

It is said that Wei Guangwei missed the sacrificial ceremony and the issuance of the calendar. There is a reason for it. His eye disease is getting worse, and it is still difficult for him to stay in bed at home.

Wei Dazhong mobilized the radical spokespersons of the Donglin Party, and based on this, Wei Dazhong and several fellow Donglin officials who interceded for him.

It is said that Wei Guangwei's move is aimed at repelling dissidents and hitting the right time.

Over the past few days, the division within the Donglin Party has become more and more serious.

In addition to the radical faction surrounding Wei Dazhong and Zhao Nanxing, there are also moderate factions such as Huang Zunsu and Han Yu who stay out of the matter, and a small number of Wei Guangwei's fellow clansmen and fellow villagers are running around for him, begging for help.

Wei Zhongxian really didn't expect this unexpected joy, so he hurried to the Xinuang Pavilion to find the emperor and suggested an imperial edict.

This edict has no other meaning, but to intensify the internal contradictions among the Donglin Party members.

Zhu Youxiao was really interested in this kind of thing that made the Donglin Party's own dog bite the dog. Without saying anything, he immediately approved Wei Zhongxian's performance and let him play freely.

Soon, the emperor revealed his intentions for the first time in this kind of political chaos, and specially ordered the officials of the court to put aside their prejudices and not to attack each other.

Let me tell you, most of the science and Taoist officials are not convinced.

The emperor's special edict was drafted by Wei Zhongxian with Zhu Youxiao's approval and together with Gu Bingqian. It seemed that the emperor was persuading him.

But what it actually meant was that Wei Dazhong first made trouble for no reason, and that a small matter must make a big fuss, which is an insult to the Taoist officer of Donglin Ke.

Censor Li Yingsheng received Zhao Nanxing's tacit consent, and two days later went to Shuxi Nuange to make a series of refutations against Wei Guangwei's defense of his so-called "immorality of crime".

All of a sudden, the situation further escalated, and countless officials under the leadership of Zhao Nanxing and Wei Dazhong began to concentrate on attacking Wei Guangwei.

The most incisive one is this impeachment memorial presented by Zhao Nanxing.

"Zhao Nanxing, the censor of the left capital and the official minister, said:

If you make a mistake in saluting, it is a disrespect.According to the "Law of the Ming Dynasty", forty lashes should be given for delay in congratulations, and one hundred lashes for delay in sacrificial ceremonies.

Dare I ask Your Majesty, is the crime of Guangwei not obeying the law?

The ministers and ministers all talk about officials, and when they talk about officials, they are the emperor's close ministers. When they talk about Chengyu, the emperor changes his appearance.Guangwei's father was a speech officer, and he left because he offended the cabinet ministers, and his voice has been used to this day.

His Majesty Wanwang ordered Guangwei to withdraw from his father's book to protect his family reputation.Don't be confident and embarrass the officials of the Manchu Dynasty.If he goes underground in the future, he will have the face to face his late father! "

This memorial is quite sharp. When clearly pointing out Wei Guangwei's mistakes, he also pointed out the punishment for this in the "Law of the Ming Dynasty" to stop Youyou's mouth.

Even after reading it, Zhu Youxiao felt that the impeachment skills of the Donglin party members were really top-notch. Just from this memorial, it can be seen that Zhao Nanxing's skills are profound.

No matter whether Wei Guangwei continued to quibble afterwards, or bald and stubborn, according to the axiom, there were only two results, either "retire from his father's book and save the family name", or he would be punished with a hundred whips, losing his face and endangering his life.

Once this memorial was published, it caused an uproar in the whole court.

Wei Guangwei was ashamed and angry, and his face changed suddenly. Zhao Nanxing actually compared his late father Wei Yunzhen's deeds with his own. The meaning of ridicule and sarcasm is self-evident.

Speaking of Wei Yunzhen, he is indeed well-known among the Donglin party members.

During the Wanli period, the party struggle was in full swing, and the Donglin Party was not yet the ruling party. Wei Yunzhen, the father of Wei Guangwei, was known for his "uprightness, outspokenness and daring to advise".

The so-called Zhuo Hongwei's concept, which is expected by everyone, is referring to Wei Yunzhen.

Chapter 168 I'll Treat You

"The world is going down..."

Wei Guangwei was extremely disappointed when he saw the article on the Beijing News.

Just a few years ago, these people were in the same Donglin forest as themselves, entered the court class, spoke freely, and became irreversible friends.

Once an accident happened, all the old friendships would be turned into nothingness. They were all fighters defending justice, but he himself became a street mouse that everyone shouted and beat.

The danger of human nature is clearly revealed.

Wei Yunzhen, the father of Wei Guangwei, and Zhao Nanxing used to be very good friends, they can be called close friends, it was such a relationship, and he was allowed to write a pen as a knife, and used it as a weapon to criticize himself.

It can be seen from this, what kind of great sages are those Donglin party members I used to associate with?

Since these people are going to put people to death, he can't just wait for death like this.

Wei Guangwei no longer wants to be with "this generation", if he wants to stand up, he must win the support of "the other generation".

This other generation is the eunuch who used to be incompatible with him.

At this moment, Wei Guangwei still couldn't make up his mind, so he came to the house of Han Yu, the chief assistant of the cabinet, and explained his intention to the housekeeper, asking for a meeting.

Not long after, the housekeeper put on a completely opposite indifferent face from before, and said through the crack of the door:

"My master has important business to do, please forgive me for not seeing each other!"

At this juncture, Han Yu dared not meet Wei Guangwei.

This meeting is probably tantamount to blatantly opposing Zhao Nanxing, Wei Dazhong and other Donglin party members, and will become the target of public criticism!

Han Yu doesn't have as much prestige as Ye Xianggao, and he can still stand still in the cusp of public opinion. Such a thing, he can only choose to avoid it and protect himself wisely.

Han Yu didn't even see himself, which Wei Guangwei never expected. He stared for a moment, and said bitterly:

"Please reply to Mr. Ge, Yu private, he can see me, Wei Guangwei, and Yu Gong, but he can't see me, the servant of the Ministry of Rites who came to discuss matters."

"Now I'm still a court minister!"

In the mansion, upon hearing the butler's reply, Han Yu sighed and said, "Jian Quan's reputation will be ruined once."

Jianquan is the name of Wei Yunzhen, the father of Wei Guangwei.

The housekeeper noticed his difficulty, but he didn't understand the deep meaning of these words, so he just asked anxiously:

"Then... how do I reply."

"No need to reply, he will leave after a while."

Sure enough, after waiting outside the mansion for half an hour, Wei Guangwei knew what kind of person he had become in the eyes of the Donglin Party, so he walked away.

Although the matter has reached a point where it cannot be dealt with, Wei Guangwei still does not want to completely break with the Donglin party members.

After all, he was also from Donglin, and now he still cares about face.

Wei Guangwei went back to the mansion and thought for a long time, planning to find someone to mediate, and asked Zhao Nanxing, Wei Dazhong and others to go to the shuffle again, so that he could be dealt with lightly.

However, after counting all the members of the Donglin Party in the court and even in Beijing, Wei Guangwei couldn't find a suitable candidate.

The current Donglin party members either accuse him like Zhao Nanxing and Wei Dazhong and have deep prejudices, or they have the same attitude as Han Yu and Huang Zunsu, and they are wise and safe.

Few of these former clansmen and old friends can be counted on now. Wei Guangwei thought for a while, and suddenly he had an excellent candidate—Sun Chengzong.

Sun Chengzong once presided over the daily lectures, and was known as the emperor's teacher. Last year, he was ordered to go out to guard Guangning. Although the proposal of building a fort and expanding the army was not adopted by the emperor, he repelled several Mongol attacks, and his prestige was very high.

More importantly, Sun Chengzong is a good teacher and helpful friend of many Donglin Party members. Just a few words may make the Donglin Party members in the Manchu Dynasty let go.

Thinking of this, Wei Guangwei immediately went to the school.

……

In the deep palace compound of the Forbidden City, the wonderful woman who loves flying is locked.

In the evening of this day, the ladies of the palace were arranging a few pots of jasmine in the inner room of Kunning Palace. Zhu Youxiao saw it and asked curiously.

The maids bowed, and the leading female official said:

"Recently, the empress loves jasmine for 10 minutes. She often says that when she smells the fragrance of this flower, she can see the prosperity of the south of the Yangtze River from afar."

"I know, Yu'er is bored and bored, whatever, let's put an end to Wei Guangwei's matter, and stay at Kunning Palace tonight!"

As soon as he stepped into the palace gate, Zhu Youxiao smelled the fragrance of jasmine.

Recently, Zhang Yan's lower abdomen has become more and more prominent. She is afraid that she is about to give birth, and her whole personality seems to have changed.

"Your Majesty, you are here."

Xu Shi, the female official in charge of Kunning Palace, saw the emperor coming, hurried out from the inner room to greet him, bowed and said:

"Your Majesty has been in a daze recently, insomnia, night sweats, and no appetite for food. The slaves have gone to the imperial hospital a few times, but the old imperial doctor just said that she is busy with work and has no time to come."

"The old doctor really said that?" Zhu Youxiao was taken aback when he heard the words, and seeing Xu nodded, he said:

"It is said that the midwife enters the palace and stays in the side hall until the queen gives birth. If there is any mistake between the queen and my prince, I will kill her nine clans!"

"If everything goes well, I will reward you!"

Zhu Youxiao said in a low voice, and said again with his hands behind his back:

"Also, tell Wei Zhongxian that I have abolished that old imperial doctor. Now there is nothing bigger than the empress giving birth!"

Not long after, the Imperial Hospital hurriedly dispatched an imperial physician to look left and right around Zhang Yan, listening and asking questions.

"How is the queen?"

"Returning to the emperor, the empress's recent strange behavior is all caused by impetuousness, and it is not a serious problem. I will wait for the minister to prescribe a prescription for calming the nerves and nourishing the body, so that you can rest in order."

After the imperial physician finished speaking, his eyes were full of precaution and vigilance.

He always felt that the palace was becoming more and more eerie and treacherous, and he was afraid that the emperor would raise a huge wave and smash himself to pieces if he didn't want to.

"I see, you go down."

After Zhu Youxiao finished speaking, he watched the imperial physician prescribe the prescription.

After he left, Zhu Youxiao went to the table and picked up the prescription, his eyes were cold and authentic:

"Copy a few copies and send them to Wei Zhongxian and Xu Xianchun, and find a few well-known folk doctors and ask them if there is any problem with this prescription."

In the inner room, Zhang Yan was only wearing a plain gauze shirt, lying on the phoenix couch, flipping through a book lazily, her thoughts were illusory, and her eyes glanced at the door from time to time.

Finally, the emperor came in.

Zhang Yan's eyes immediately left from the door and returned to the book, but her chest was pounding wildly, and she didn't have the heart to read what was written in the book.

Zhu Youxiao personally held the tea, sat beside Zhang Yan, looked at her face carefully, and said slowly:

"My queen has lost weight."

Zhang Yan looked away from the book and fell on the emperor's face. The next moment, her pretty face was stained red, and she was about to get up to salute when the emperor held her down.

She was angry and pretended to be indifferent and asked:

"What did the doctor say?"

When the words fell to the ground, Zhu Youxiao suddenly laughed.

The emperor's laughter had a deep meaning, which made Zhang Yan see the malicious teasing behind the smile, and stared blankly at the scar on his hand.

After a while, Zhu Youxiao leaned over and breathed softly in her ear:

"The imperial doctor said that this is because my dragon son is making trouble in your belly, and you want another imperial sister. Tell me, what should I do?"

Hearing this, Zhang Yan's face turned red all of a sudden, she faltered and couldn't speak, she couldn't pretend to be indifferent anymore.

Zhu Youxiao smiled without saying a word, resting his forehead on her shoulder, teasing her softly.

"I told him that since this is the case, let me treat the Queen's illness. I will stay overnight in Kunning Palace tonight, and she will be cured."

Zhang Yan reacted, Xing glared at Zhu Youxiao, pretended to be angry, pushed him away with all her strength, and replied angrily:

"The emperor's government affairs are important, so hurry back to Xinuang Pavilion!"

Chapter 169 Wei Zhongxian welcomes a new nephew

"Then... I will go back."

As Zhu Youxiao said, he was about to leave.

"I'm joking..." Zhang Yan hurriedly raised her head to look for it, subconsciously grabbed the emperor's toga sleeves, "You...you don't go."

Suddenly, she suddenly realized that the emperor was standing far away after getting up, looking at her quietly, and did not leave.

Seemingly aware of something, Zhang Yan glared at the emperor in embarrassment, then turned her head away again.

"This girl..." Zhu Youxiao laughed, then reached out to help Zhang Yan turn around, and looked at her.

Zhang Yan lowered her head, clenched her teeth and clenched her lips, trying to hold back the unconscious smile, and kept her mouth shut. This effort was in vain after all, and she couldn't help laughing.

When this laugh comes out, the airs will be lost.

Zhu Youxiao stretched out his finger and tapped Qiong's nose, holding Zhang Yan in his arms.

Zhang Yan didn't resist either, instead she snuggled closer like a kitten, and said in a coquettish tone:

"You have to come and see me often."

"I see, you are the one I like the most in this imperial palace."
