I'm really not the carpenter emperor

Zhu Guobi and Li Sancai, Li Sancai is not even an official now, the two of them are so bold, dare to drag our family into the water? !

Du Sheng's heart was already turned upside down, but he sneered disdainfully on his face, saying:

"Why do our family think that Li Sancai was dismissed as early as the Wanli Dynasty and went home, and Zhu Guobi has no real power in Wu Xun."

"Just the two of them, do you really think we can move our house?"

Zhao Zhilong didn't guess that Du Sheng was trying to save face, he looked a little surprised, opened his mouth wide, got up and said:

"Did the chief executive of those Donglin party members really think that they have no official positions and are just ordinary people?"

"Otherwise..." Du Sheng sneered:

"Could it be that Li Sancai, a plain-headed commoner, poses a greater threat to our family than Wang Yongguang, Minister of the Ministry of War in Nanjing?"

"No, no!"

Du Sheng couldn't care about anything else. If he couldn't buy Du Sheng this time, he would miss this god-given opportunity.

His breathing became a little short, and he said:

"Since Li Sancai was dismissed from office, he was invited by the Marquis of Funing Zhu Guobi to come to Nanjing and gave Zhang Yu, the second concubine of the Marquis of Funing's mansion, a nickname: Wanbo."

"There was a lot of trouble in Nanjing at that time, so the chief executive didn't know about it?"

Du Sheng nodded, still showing disdain.

Zhao Zhilong sneered and continued to output.

"Since then, Li Sancai has become famous in Nanzhili, saying everywhere that he resigned resolutely because of his outspoken admonitions and being excluded."

"Since then, Lushan Academy, Xianhe Academy, Chongzheng Academy and more than a dozen famous academies in Southern Zhili have all come to visit, and there is an endless stream!"

"Then Li Sancai gives lectures every day, participates in book clubs in his spare time, and composes poems when he ascends to the heights. These are the so-called masterpieces. Such 'masterpieces' have been handed down to the world, and scholars are eager to emulate them. Today, they are the famous contemporary great sages."

"Li Sancai's appeal among those scholars is much stronger than yours, Chief Manager!"

"The news they released said that you, the chief executive, have embezzled the relief money from various provinces in Huaibei this year. In a few days, you will be making trouble in Jinling to the point where women and children know it."

"Those ordinary people heard that the emperor is coming, and they are worried that they will not let the emperor know if they make a big mess. No one thinks about whether you are greedy or not. It's just one person passing on two people, two people passing on four people!"

"What will His Majesty think when he hears this?"

When Zhao Zhilong said this, Du Sheng couldn't pretend anymore, and broke out in a cold sweat.

He really didn't expect that a mere dismissed Donglin Li Sancai would put himself in such a mess with a few words!

Chapter 278 Zhao Zhilong's Ambition

"The chief steward is a wise man."

Zhao Zhilong hesitated to speak, with a smile on his face.

Du Sheng had already seen his ambition, so he stopped pretending, smiled coldly, and said to him:

"Do you want our family to recommend you for the post of assistant defense?"

Hearing this, Zhao Zhilong was flustered for a moment, then calmed down, nodded and said: "Wei Guogong's lineage has given up the court's favor, Nanjing has not been guarded by the Wuxun Association for nearly 20 years."

"This is not good news for Wu Xun and the chief executive."

"If the imperial court finds out that there is no difference between the establishment of the garrison and the non-establishment of this association, and since then this position will no longer be established, won't Wu Xun never have a bright future?"

Du Sheng snorted coldly, his mind secretly active.

After a long time, he suddenly laughed again:

"Zhao Zhilong, there are many martial arts in Nanjing City, and there are many people with higher status than you. How do you conclude that the emperor will take the post of garrison and give you Xin Chengbo's line?"

Zhao Zhilong chuckled:

"It's because I can't be sure, that's why I came to the Chief Manager!"

"What do you think, who am I, and who are you, who made me serve as a garrison, and those who play tricks, do they have any good fruit to eat?"

After speaking, he smiled sinisterly.

Du Sheng exchanged a glance with him, picked up his teacup and drank it.

……

The emperor is away, there is no need to hold the court meeting, and the chapters still need to be watched.

When the inner eunuch brought a stack of "homework", it was already dusk on the day he arrived in Nanjing. Zhu Youzheng curled up in a chair in the imperial tent to take a nap, just like in the warm pavilion of the Qianqing Palace, but the blue bird was missing in his arms. cat.

"Meow~"

Suddenly, Zhu Youxiao lazily opened his eyes, smiled slightly, and arranged the good news from Sun Chuanting and his own imperial pen on the table side by side, jokingly said:

"You brought it, too."

"It's all for His Majesty's favor."

Wang Chaofu was also thankful that he had made this decision without telling Emperor Tianqi, stood aside, and said in a low voice:

"Your Majesty likes it so much, then give the young master a name."

"Naming, I'm not good at this, Chaofu, please tell me."

Zhu Youxiao hugged the blue cat and kept stroking it with one hand. He closed his eyes tiredly, and let out a soft "hmm" from his nose, and breathed a sigh of relief.

During this time, he was thinking about how to carry out reforms in Nanjing.

Since the Yongle Year, Nanjing Chengju has retained a complete set of imperial court institutions, including the civil service system of the Jiuqing, the military system of the Five Armed Forces Governor's Office, and the internal minister system of the 24 supervisory bureaus.

Compared with the institutions at the same level in the capital, the imperial institutions established in Nanjing, due to the simplicity of government affairs, have far less power and less salary.

In the Ming Dynasty, the emperors of all dynasties regarded Nanjing as their fundamental place. No one thought of abolishing the small Nanjing court. Without exception, they all paid special attention to its security situation.

From the end of Yongle to the beginning of Jingtai, Nanjing gradually formed a unique Nanjing defense system through the operation and improvement of successive emperors until today.

Nanjing's garrison officials come from the three systems of inner ministers, military officials, and civil servants. They are composed of one internal guard (inner minister), one coordinating guard (Wu Xun), and one counselor (civilian), who are jointly responsible for Nanjing's security affairs.

The external garrison and coordinated garrison were originally inherited by the Duke of Wei. Until Xu Hong, the contemporary Duke of Wei, voluntarily relinquished his post in the 20th year of Wanli, he had been in charge of the Nanjing Five Armies Dudufu and its affiliated guards.

Du Sheng, the internal guard, was in charge of various supervisory bureaus in Nanjing and presided over the internal affairs of the Nanjing Imperial Palace.

Counselors are generally held concurrently by the Minister of the Ministry of War in Nanjing, but now Wang Yongguang leads the Ministry of War in Nanjing and presides over the daily government affairs of the Ministry of War in Nanjing, and has the greatest power.

Compared with civil and military officials, Du Sheng, who is an internal supervisor and guard, may not have as much power as the Minister of the Ministry of War, the counselor of maintenance, but his duties are broader. He also has the right to participate in military and state affairs in charge of Wu Xun.

Since Du Sheng was born in the Wei family, it is widely rumored that he has the trust and support of the emperor. In the past two years, he has often surpassed civil servants in various matters in Nanjing, and has actually become the second force in power in Nanjing.

In addition, Du Sheng, the internal supervisor and garrison, also played an important role in maintaining the security and stability of the Nanzhili area.

Most of Nanjing's external defense and coordinated defense were performed by Xun Chen. In the Ming Dynasty, Xun Chen held high positions and powers in the early days. After the early Ming Dynasty, the power was gradually replaced by civil servants and gradually declined.

Nanjing's external garrison and coordinated garrison were not as effective as the counselor's maintenance in maintaining Nanjing's security. As for gaining the emperor's trust, they were not as good as the internal supervisor's garrison, and were often suspected.

As the armaments of the guards in various places were abolished, and the military men were not taken seriously, the Wei Guogongs of the past dynasties who served as the garrison of the Nanjing Association only had more positions, which had long been in name only.

This is also the reason why Xu Hongji voluntarily gave up his post. He has long since discovered that in fact, the coordinated garrison has a say in Nanjing affairs, which is completely inferior to the internal supervisor garrison and the minister of the Ministry of War.

Even for matters that need to be dealt with by the garrison, the garrison of the internal supervisor and the Minister of the Ministry of War can also participate in it, and disputes and disputes often result.

Moreover, Wu Xun's status is declining, and in terms of power, he can't be called the third force at all. In Nanjing, the power of civil servants is checked and balanced by the "eunuch party" headed by the internal supervisor Du Sheng.

Thinking of this, Zhu Youxiao turned his head and found that Wang Chaofu was writing his name on the paper, so he paid special attention to his brushwork and said jokingly:

"Your brushwork, if you don't have an ax and axe, you can still go to the Imperial Academy. I can appoint you to enter the cabinet and make you a great scholar."

"Your Majesty is over-reputed. With the skills of a slave, how can you be a great scholar?"

After Wang Chaofu finished speaking, Zhu Youxiao laughed loudly:

"University bachelor, you can do it with reading and writing."

Wang Chaofu could naturally hear that Emperor Tianqi's words were full of dissatisfaction and disdain for those so-called great scholars and great sages.

His eyes lit up and he said:

"Your Majesty likes the name of the Grand Scholar, so why not call it the Grand Scholar of the Maofang?"

"Cat Room University Bachelor..."

Zhu Youxiao murmured, chuckled and said:

"The cat room sounds a bit nondescript. How about it? Let me be my master. From now on, I will change the cat room in Da Nei to the cat pavilion. As for it..."

"Just call him the Grand Scholar of Maoge! How about it?"

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Chaofu hurriedly bowed and shouted.

Zhu Youxiao held the Maoge University scholar in his arms, looked at the words written by Wang Chaofu just now, and said: "Your words are also considered dignified, so it's a pity to bury them here."

"Ask the supervisor to send it to the Funing Hou's mansion and send him to watch it."

Wang Chaofu stared at the emperor tongue-tied for a while, then looked back at his own "graffiti", and couldn't help but wonder, before he entered the ceremonial supervisor, although he had studied in the inner study for two days, he could only write this word in miserable words. to describe.

Sending a pair of such words to the past, Wang Chaofu didn't know what the emperor was going to do.

……

It has been a day since the emperor came to Nanjing, without any intention, and he did not enter Nanjing city, so he wondered if he was planning something again.

Zhu Guobi has been very nervous for a while, because the Yingtian government office is arresting people wantonly.

The magistrate of Yingtian is from the eunuch party, and this time the arrests were made in the marketplace, and he picked Li Sancai's disciples to arrest, he must have been instructed by Du Sheng.

How did Du Sheng know their plan?

Did Du Sheng do this because he received Wei Zhongxian's instruction?

Zhu Guobi had just finished discussing with Li Sancai in the restaurant, and both of them were full of question marks, but the matter has come to this point, and they still have to continue to pull Du into the water at any cost. They cannot be the only ones to carry this matter.

Only when Dora lays on his back can he fall hard. If he can pull Du Sheng, who ranks high in the eunuch party, into the water, maybe there will be a turning point!

Back in the mansion, Funing Hou Zhu Guobi was listless, without raising his head, and said to the steward:

"If anyone comes to look for him, just say that I'm sick, and I won't see anyone!"

After finishing speaking, he didn't wait for the butler's reply for a long time.

Zhu Guobi put down what he was doing, and turned his head sullenly, only to find that the housekeeper's face was pale, and his speech stuttered a bit.

"Hou, Lord Hou, Lord, Tian Ergeng is here."

"What is he doing?"

Zhu Guobi suddenly became sober.

Chapter 279 The Nine Clans Or Their Death

Zhu Guobi hurried into the mansion, walked along the stone road, and soon came to the flower hall in Hou's mansion where he used to entertain guests.

Seeing the scene in front of him, his throat choked up, and he stood in front of the door with a sullen face, speechless.

There was a book next to Zhang Yu, and he and Zhu Guobi's baby was still in his arms. He was looking warily at a Jin Yiwei who was wearing a flying fish suit and had an embroidered spring knife on his waist.

No need to ask, this is one of the few great generals under Xu Xianchun, commander of Jinyiwei, Tian Ergeng, Governor of Nanzhili.

"Master Hou is back, isn't he sick?"

"I am cured?"

"It's so fast."

Tian Ergeng muttered to himself, without even raising his head, picked up the book next to Zhang Yu, and sneered:

"This is "New Odes on the Jade Terrace". Does Mrs. Zhang like Liang Chao?"

"This is really a good book... I like the Liang Dynasty, but now it is the Ming Dynasty, tsk tsk tsk... Mrs. Zhang, what are you worried about?"

As he said that, he turned his head and stared at Zhu Guobi, but didn't say anything more.

Zhu Guobi has always known the ability of these brocade guards to weave the crimes. This female book, if he is asked to continue, it will become an evil book of conspiracy and chaos.

He stopped the servant who wanted to forcefully chase him away, walked into the hall, and said expressionlessly:

"Tian Dudu came to my house without even saying hello, isn't that too disrespectful to Fu Ninghou of the imperial court?"

"Don't, don't, how dare I-!"
