I'm really not the carpenter emperor

"The Liao Zuo army has collapsed, and it is useless to return to the city. Xiong Tingbi, the governor of Liaodong, lost his teacher and humiliated the country. He should be punished according to the law! I implore your majesty to take charge of the overall situation and clarify the canonical punishment!"

When the words fell to the ground, half of the civil servants knelt on the ground and said in unison: "I implore Your Majesty to take charge of the overall situation and declare the punishment!"

"Xiong Tingbi, punish him according to the law!"

Wei Zhongxian, who had been watching the play by the side, realized that something was wrong, and his expression changed.

The Donglin party members probably already knew that the emperor was going to take Gao Panlong's knife this time, they formed a rope, and in an instant, in front of the furious emperor, they once again took control of the situation.

Zhu Youxiao looked at the officials under the steps, and after a while, he smiled bleakly.

The biggest sinner in the world seems to be himself who has been trying his best to maintain Daming, and those in front of him are all unborn heroes.

"Xiong Tingbi's crime of losing Shenyang, I will personally ask for it, but you, the king's salary and the king of the country, have done nothing except to impeach the officials of the frontier!"

Speaking of this, Zhu Youxiao sneered a few more times: "Jiang Bingqian, do you really think you don't know when you blindly recite public and private parties?!"

Wei Zhongxian was in a hurry. In his opinion, the emperor was obviously at a disadvantage in today's matter.

Those Donglin party members shielded each other, and the emperor did not blame the public when he saw the law. This is to pick the soft persimmons first.

But can the Donglin Party agree?

Based on Wei Zhongxian's understanding of them, if the emperor let Gao Panlong go and take Jiang Bingqian down the stairs, not only would they not agree, they would even intensify it.

At that time, if the emperor insisted on going his own way, he might make a big mistake!

So here comes the question, should I take the blame or not?

Almost only for a moment, he made up his mind and winked at Gu Bingqian, a senior scholar.

The emperor once said to himself "I am here", so today is the time for me to say to the emperor, "I am here"!

Just when the Donglin Party thought they were proud, Gu Bingqian strode forward, bowed his body and said, "I impeach the censor Jiang Bingqian!"

At this time, the eyes of Manchu turned from the emperor to this side.

Let's hear Gu Bingqian say quietly: "Your Majesty, Jiang Bingqian, the censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, is a student of Gao Panlong!"

The revelation of this sentence caused an uproar.

The disciple's savior even caused half of the imperial court to agree with him, not to mention whether the emperor really wanted to ask the crime, just this one, Donglin formed a party, it was confirmed!

Everyone in the Donglin Party knew about it in private, but it was really brought up to the public as a "clique" because of Gu Bingqian's revelation.

It is conceivable that Gu Bingqian's fact that Donglin scholars and officials formed a party will cause an uproar in the civil and political circles of the Ming Dynasty.

And how will he be hacked by the so-called "clear streams" all over the world.

It is true that Gu Bingqian has his own selfish intentions this time, but in Zhu Youxiao's view, this is the courtier he needs at the moment.

Wei Zhongxian just stood quietly from the beginning to the end, and seeing the Donglin party members persuading and admonishing him less, a big stone in his heart fell to the ground.

Today, the emperor won.

There was silence in the Huangji Hall for a while, Zhu Youxiao sneered a few times, then picked up a memo written by the Donglin Party members, glanced at it twice, and then threw it down the steps in disgust.

"Qian Gang is arbitrary, I don't want to be arbitrary, but whenever I have an oracle, how often do you push it back and forth?"

Zhu Youxiao slapped the imperial case, stood up suddenly, glanced at the ministers, and said loudly: "You are really my good Hanlin, good scholars!"

After some words, the Donglin Party members had nothing to say.

At this time, Gu Bingqian, who was silent for a long time, stepped forward again and persuaded: "Your Majesty, the law will not be merciful, Jiang Bingqian and Gao Panlong should be punished for their crimes!"

When the words fell, Cui Chengxiu, the minister of the Ministry of War, and other civil servants who were once said to be "eunuchs" came out one after another, saying in unison:

"Your Majesty, please issue an order to kill Jiang Bingqian and Gao Panlong, and the punishment will be declared!"

Chapter 65 Good Time Tonight

That meeting was full of twists and turns.

At first, Zhu Youxiao thought that Luo Yangxing's secret concert had already been played.

Regardless of how this surnamed Luo operates in private, anyway, the large amount of grain that was privately hidden was found by Jin Yiwei from Gao Panlong's mansion.

This court meeting was held because Zhu Youxiao thought he was holding Gao Panlong's handle in his hand, and wanted to take this old guy into surgery.

But he really underestimated the Donglin Party's ability to control the court meeting. After a few words, his anger didn't work. Instead, they got the backhand and successfully transferred the hatred to himself.

Having said that, Wei Zhongxian really played a big role this time.

For a long time, Zhu Youxiao has been thinking that Wei Zhongxian has been raised for so long, almost all the twelve internal prisons have been assigned to him, and there are people like Gu Bingqian and Cui Chengxiu in the court to cooperate with him.

Why can't Gao Panlong be taken down?

But Wei Zhongxian is a real guy, he didn't dare to make a move before Zhen and Dong Lin were completely torn apart.

On this day, Zhu Youxiao was sitting in Xinuang Pavilion, shaking his legs and reading the test book one by one.

It was rare for the eunuchs accompanying him to see the emperor so happy, and they were also amazed, and all of them felt better.

There is a reason why Zhu Youxiao is in such a good mood.

After that court meeting, Wei Zhongxian finally started to take action against the Donglin Party.

The first person to be arrested was Jiang Bingqian, the censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and several speech officials who agreed at the time were also approached by Dongchang today.

Dongchang still uses the old method, first catch a few small ones to the big prison to play "beating into tricks", and then pull the big ones into the water.

About Feng Sanyuan last time, Yang Lian went back to his hometown to farm.

This time at the court meeting, it was "revealed" that Yushi Jiang Bingqian was a high-ranking student, and he was Gu Bingqian, the current cabinet scholar.

When Wei Zhongxian arrested Jiang Bingqian again, Zhu Youxiao wanted to ask Gao Panlong, are you panicking?

In a blink of an eye, the last time I met Zhang Yan was more than ten days ago.

During this period of time, the Taoist officials were either offending Yan Yan, or bringing up old things to disturb the audiovisual. Zhu Youxiao was so messed up that he had no time to take care of the affairs of the harem.

It wasn't until Wei Zhongxian started to clean Donglin that he had the time to remember that there were still a queen and three concubines not exposed to the rain and dew.

Thinking of this, Zhu Youxiao was full of interest, and went to Dongnuan Pavilion to dress according to the diorama, and put on the good-winged crown that the palace people had set up earlier, saying:

"Let's go to Kunning Palace and see the queen."

Zhu Youxiao only got out of Dongnuan Pavilion with one foot, and one of the palace people following behind him was a talkative muttering:

"It turned out that I was not angry with the empress, I thought the emperor was going to abolish the empress..."

Although the voice was very low, the words reached Zhu Youxiao's ears word by word. Immediately, his expression changed a little.

"What do you mean waste queen?"

Seeing the emperor's slightly cold face, the palace servant hurriedly knelt down and begged for mercy.

"My lord, forgive me, this slave is so cheap." After finishing speaking, she began to slap herself hard.

Zhu Youxiao sneered and said, "I'm asking you, what do you mean by abolished empress?"

……

After a long while, Zhu Youxiao was walking on the way to Kunning Palace, he no longer had the happy expression just now, but his face was as sinking as water, showing no emotional ups and downs.

Thinking of what the palace man said, another burst of unexplained anger flared up in his heart.

It turns out that Zhu Youxiao has not been lucky enough to be in the Kunning Palace since the establishment of the empress, except for the big wedding for Zhang Yan.

There are many women in the harem, and it's okay to stay idle, so all kinds of rumors spread.

"These bastards, I'm busy with state affairs, and I won't go to the harem for half a month, so many things come out!" Zhu Youxiao snorted coldly, and quickened his pace.

On the way, Zhu Youxiao asked the palace people to tell all the rumors about coming to the harem recently, the more they listened, the colder they felt.

Let's listen to a eunuch who came from the Imperial Horse Supervisor say: "Recently, there have been more excessive ones, saying that the empress is not the daughter of the head of the country, but is... of unknown origin."

"Also, it's against the dignity of the royal family that your empress is in charge of the middle palace..."

There was also Gong'e trotting after her, gasping for breath and saying: "I also heard people say that the servants in the palace originally belonged to the guest's grandmother, but after the guest's grandmother left the palace, it returned to Xili Niangniang."

"There have been a lot of rumors that the people below are too thoughtful to do things. Kunning Palace paid less than five taels of the 100 taels of salary this month..."

Hearing this, Zhu Youxiao finally had a reaction, and said coldly: "The subordinates are not thoughtful in doing things? They are not so vicious, how dare the subordinates dare to be presumptuous?"

Hearing the emperor's words, for some reason, the people in the accompanying palace felt vented in their hearts.

The lady in charge of the Kunning Palace was named Ai. Seeing the emperor approaching from afar, she rushed forward to meet her, bowed her body and said:

"The emperor forgives the sin, the empress is still taking a nap, and the slaves will report immediately."

"No need, I'll wait for her." Zhu Youxiao ordered his accompanying palace attendants to stay outside the palace, passed Duan's family after speaking, and stepped into the Nuan Pavilion of Kunning Palace.

Kunning Palace has always been the queen's bedroom.

The name of Kunning Palace corresponds to Qianqing Palace, the emperor's bedroom, which means the peace of heaven and earth, Haiyan and Heqing.

As the lord of the middle palace, the Kunning Palace was supposed to be rich and beautiful, but after Zhu Youxiao entered the Nuan Pavilion, he felt chills for no reason.

Looking around again, it didn't look like the boudoir where the lively girl lived last time. It looked lifeless, like a closed cabinet.

The people inside were locked in the cabinet and couldn't get out.

"I've wronged you..." Zhu Youxiao sighed and said to himself.

My own negligence still allowed the villains in the harem to take advantage of the loopholes. It seems that I will treat her more kindly in the future.

"The concubine is dead, I have seen the emperor." Just as she was thinking, a trembling voice suddenly came from behind.

Zhu Youxiao looked back suddenly and saw that Zhang Yan had changed and washed, and she was standing upright in front of the bedroom door to salute.

"You go down."

The court lady surnamed Ai received the order, saluted, and also retreated gently.

"It's so cold in your palace, why didn't you tell me?" After a while, Zhu Youxiao sighed and asked reproachfully.

Zhang Yan was still standing there, her eyes turned red when she heard the words, and she replied softly: "I know that your majesty is busy with state affairs and trivial matters in the harem, and it is not enough to disturb the saint."

Zhu Youxiao naturally knew that she was playing a game with herself.

Immediately, Zhu Youxiao stepped forward, rolled up Zhang Yan's sleeves, and held her hand tightly with his own big hand.

Zhang Yan's almond eyes widened, and she wanted to withdraw her hand shyly, thinking that she was startled by the emperor's sudden tenderness.

Zhu Youxiao didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he could only increase his strength in his hand, and joked: "Look at you, I just shook your hand, so I'm so ashamed."

"If I want you to give birth to a dragon son for Daming, wouldn't you be ashamed to crawl into the cracks in the wall?"

Zhang Yan bit her lip tightly, but no longer struggled.

Zhu Youxiao laughed, and knew in his heart that if he was not the emperor, he would have been taught a lesson by now as that "disciple" who didn't know how to measure.

"Why, Zhuzhu doesn't want to be my queen?"

Zhang Yan didn't understand why, so she raised her head and glanced quietly, but saw the emperor was staring at her with a half-smile, then blushed again, and lowered her head.

"Your Majesty, you have lost your composure."

"Gaffe?"

Zhu Youxiao was noncommittal, held her slightly cold hand warm, and said: "These days, there are many affairs in the court and China, and I have neglected you."

"If I hadn't heard someone mention it, I wouldn't have known you had such a poor life."

Zhang Yan was tongue-tied for a while, and finally couldn't help but chuckled, and leaned gently on the emperor's shoulder.

It was the first time that Zhu Youxiao felt this kind of feeling of being snuggled by others, that is, he made up his mind in his heart that this Ming Dynasty must become strong in his own hands.

After a long while, Zhu Youxiao moved his face closer to him, breathed out and asked, "Last time in Maoqin Hall, you asked me what kind of flower you looked like. Now I think of it, you look like a crabapple."

Zhang Yan didn't expect the emperor to still remember this, so he glanced at Zhu Youxiao angrily, put up his airs reluctantly, and turned his face away.

At this time, Zhu Youxiao picked her up horizontally, and told the palace people who eavesdropped outside the door:

"Go and tell Si Li Xuan that the queen is not feeling well. From now on, the monthly salary of Kunning Palace will be doubled. I will visit her tomorrow."

"Also, the queen said that she wants to eat sour ones, so you can go make some fruit and serve them."

Zhang Yan raised her eyes and asked puzzledly, "When did I say I wasn't feeling well?"

Zhu Youxiao blinked at her and said with a smile, "Aren't all pregnant women sour?"

Hearing this, Zhang Yan didn't understand anymore.

"Where did the emperor hear that I was pregnant?"
