I'm really not the carpenter emperor

Although Zhu Youxiao has withdrawn from the Zhejiang Party headed by Wen Tiren and is fighting against the Wei Party in court, the Wei Party is powerful after all.

Over the years, Wei Zhongxian's cronies have been everywhere throughout the country.

Zhu Youxiao doesn't want to completely eradicate the eunuch party, but now, he can't condone the eunuch party's rampant behavior like this.

The incident in Suzhou soon spread to the imperial court. Not only did Zhu Youxiao not deal with Wei Zhongxian, the culprit of all this, but instead he canonized him as the Duke of the State.

When the news spread, the ruling and opposition parties were shocked.

Although Wei Zhongxian was keenly aware of the danger hidden in this, and issued strict orders in time, even if Dongchang restrained himself, other people who wanted to flatter the Wei family would not stop there.

One day, Zhu Youxiao felt restless, and suddenly became interested in going out to the palace for a private visit, so he took Wang Chengen out of Chengtian Gate in disguise, and went to the noisy market.

When he came to the market and among the common people, Zhu Youxiao truly felt the changes in the capital of the Ming Dynasty over the years.

The last time I left the palace was three years ago, at least the market in front of me was much more prosperous than before. What impressed Zhu Youxiao the most was that Beijing has now become a truly global city.

Although most of the people walking the streets are business travelers from all over the country, compared to many years ago, the proportion of Mongolians and Westerners is already quite high.

Many Westerners began to choose to come to Daming to settle down. Their arrival brought more advanced technological concepts and opened the channel for Daming to connect with the world.

The two were walking, and the front of the street was crowded with noisy people.

Several bloody corpses were lying on the ground, and a team of soldiers from the West City, Ma Siguan, was moving goods from a cloth shop on the side of the street.

Wang Chengen stepped forward and asked, "What crime did the owner of this shop commit?"

He turned his head to look at him, and realized that the clothes Wang Chengen was wearing were either rich or expensive, and the young man standing alone behind him, the jade pendant on his waist was more like something in the palace, and he was immediately in awe.

He quickly said respectfully: "Ah, Cui Li, the owner of this cloth shop, refused to contribute money to help build Wei's Sheng Temple in the suburbs of the city, so we stole it."

Wang Chengen was taken aback, glanced back slightly, and found that Zhu Youxiao, who was standing behind him, looked a little strange, and asked quickly:

"Is that the case? Cui Li must have committed serious crimes such as colluding with outsiders for such a major matter of ransacking the house?"

Na almost smiled: "No, it's just that they don't invest in the construction of the living temple."

When he said this, he suddenly turned his head: "Why, don't you think that if the merchants don't fund the construction of Wei Gong's ancestral temple, it's not a serious crime of raiding the house and destroying the family?"

Wang Cheng'en didn't know how to answer immediately, his status was quite embarrassing, after all, the position of steward of Huangji Palace was recommended by Wang Chaofu, the former steward of Qianqing Palace, who had passed away.

And the reason why Wang Chaofu was able to be reused and circled around was that Wei Zhongxian was working hard behind the scenes.

"I'll tell you!" That almost turned around and shouted to the crowd of onlookers: "Any merchants who come to the capital and refuse to contribute to the construction of Wei Gong's ancestral hall, get out as soon as possible."

"Otherwise, we will find out, and copy one by one!"

Hearing this, Zhu Youxiao couldn't bear it anymore and was furious.

Under the eyes of the emperor himself, this group of eunuchs dare to be so arrogant, how about the situation in other places? !

These minions of Wei Zhongxian are even more harmful than himself!

If it is not curbed as soon as possible, how can merchants dare to come to the capital to do business in the future?

Until now, Zhu Youxiao has finally made up his mind to eradicate the eunuchs.He stepped forward abruptly, drew out the saber on the waist of the soldier Ma Sicha who was bossing around and yelling, and slashed at him.

Blood splattered everywhere, and as a corpse fell, all the movements of the soldiers and horses in the surrounding five cities stopped.

After all, Zhu Youxiao is an emperor who has personally been on the battlefield, and he is much stronger than the soldiers and horses.

As for the emperor who had been the emperor for many years, he was so enraged that he overwhelmed everyone present.

"Tell your censor of the Xicheng Bingma Division to come over and see me!"

"I have an account, I must settle it with him!"

I!

As soon as this word came out, the people around immediately started talking.

Originally, no one would take it seriously when ordinary people said this, but the young man in front of him, no matter his age or his aura standing here, seemed by no means an ordinary person.

It is very possible that it is the day when Weifu is visiting.

For a while, the people around retreated one after another, but Zhu Youxiao was not like the Kangxi of the later generations after all. When the background music played, the dragon robe appeared on the stage.

Without anything to prove their identity, the soldiers of Xicheng Bingma Division quickly surrounded Zhu Youxiao and Wang Chengen.

Wang Chengen immediately stood in front of Zhu Youxiao, and said angrily: "Blind your dog eyes, this is today's emperor, Emperor Tianqi!"

Zhu Youxiao didn't show any fear, just stood here quietly.

After all, it was his own jurisdiction that killed officials in the street, so the Xuncheng Censor of the Xicheng Bingma Division had to pay attention to it.

Soon, Song Yang, the patrolling censor of Xicheng Bingma Division, arrived with a large group of soldiers and horses. When he saw Zhu Youxiao, he sneered:

"You useless things, if someone yells "Zhen" in the street, are you afraid?"

"Let me call out, am I also the emperor?"

When Zhu Youxiao heard this, he narrowed his eyes slightly, and a strong killing intent appeared all over his body.

Before Bingmasi's men did anything, there was rumbling horseshoes in the distance, and a group of cavalry musketeers from the barracks west of the city came.

Behind them, there are more warriors from the same place, armed with sharp armor.

These warriors were all wearing iron armor, and they were so elite that they were outrageously elite. When the patrolling censor saw them, he rushed forward and said:

"General Zheng, it's not a big deal, just a bastard pretending to be His Majesty."

Unexpectedly, the guerrilla general who led the team didn't even look at him, but immediately got off his horse, knelt down on the ground, and shouted loudly:

"Your Majesty, the last general is late for rescue, and it is a death penalty!"

When he said this, the identity of this young man was ready to be revealed.

The rest of the soldiers also knelt on one knee and shouted loudly: "Long live your majesty, long live your majesty, long live your majesty!"

Chapter 951

Song Yang, the censor patrolling the city of Xicheng, immediately became very frightened.

Subconsciously, he still felt that this was really unbelievable. The current emperor had been out of the palace for a private visit for a few years, so he asked himself to meet him?

This kind of luck can really be gambled.

But the facts are too much for him to disbelieve. The guerrilla generals of the Beijing army have already taken the lead in paying homage, so there will be no second possibility.

He quickly fell to his knees: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty...!"

Zhu Youxiao snorted coldly, and squinted at him, "I don't have the ability to make you kneel down. If you call yourself Zhen, you are also the current emperor?"

Song Yang was sweating profusely and kept wiping it off, but he couldn't speak.

"Pull it down and cut it off for me."

After Zhu Youxiao finished speaking, the guerrilla general surnamed Zheng waved his hand immediately.

The two soldiers stepped forward one after the other, set up Song Yang and came to the middle of the road in front of all the Xicheng soldiers and soldiers.

"Your Majesty spare your life, Your Majesty spare your life!"

Such a small person, Zhu Youxiao didn't want to get angry with him at all, and today he cut Song Yang in the street, just now his arrogance and rudeness were just one of them.

If you simply want to take revenge, Zhu Youxiao has ten thousand ways to kill Song Yang without anyone noticing, killing him in the street is really worthless.

So today's approach is to express an attitude in front of everyone, an attitude that Zhu Youxiao has never had since he became the throne.

No matter how Song Yang struggled and begged for mercy, Zhu Youxiao had no intention of showing mercy.

As the saber fell, Song Yang's frightened head left his body, and blood gushed out from his neck, staining the ground red.

Many people gathered around, shocked by the sudden occurrence of today.

"Good kill!"

"It's a great kill!"

Nowadays, in order to please Wei Zhongxian, civil and military officials all over the country are trying their best to flatter him, making the whole world restless.

Zhu Youxiao snorted coldly, turned around and left, leaving behind the people in the capital who were gradually talking.

Back in the palace, Zhu Youxiao lost his temper which was rare.

A young eunuch came over with tea, but when Zhu Youxiao saw him, he swept him to the ground, "Where is Xu Xianchun, tell him to come here!"

The maids hurriedly cleared up the mess, and the little eunuch didn't dare to neglect, so he turned around and ran out quickly.

Xu Xianchun was sitting in the lobby of Beizhen Fusi, which originally belonged to Qianhu Zhangli of Beizhen Fusi. He put his legs on the table with a playful face.

"Zhang Qianhu, I want you to find out how many people built Wei Zhongxian's shrine, how did you find out?"

Zhang Qianhu was timid, "Return, report to the envoy, this... this is really difficult to handle, there are cronies of the Wei family everywhere, we have no way to start!"

"Huh?" Xu Xianchun's eyes tightened, and he kicked the table case to the ground, and the paperwork on it was scattered all over the floor, "You can't do such a simple thing well, why are you still in Beizhen Fusi?"

"Could it be that even you are a member of the eunuch?"

Xu Xianchun smiled coldly, the murderous intent in his eyes made Zhang Li shudder, and the two captains who quietly appeared behind him brought him to the brink of despair.

"Thousands of households, you don't have to do it for now, wait for the envoy to report to His Majesty, and then make a decision!"

Zhang Li was stunned for a moment, seeing the gloating smiles on the faces of Tian Ergeng and Yang Huanling, two thousand households around him, he immediately understood what was going on.

After Zhang Li left, Xu Xianchun said coldly, "Wei Xie's good days are coming to an end!"

After all, Yang Huan and Tian Ergeng are capable people who have been awarded the honor of Flying Fish Clothes and Embroidery Spring Knives. They can also see that the current Wei Party is on the verge of extinction.

As for the beginning of all this, we still have to start with the fact that the current emperor canonized Wei Zhongxian as Ning Guogong.

Given the degree of Wei Zhongxian's original favor, there is nothing wrong with the duke of the state, but it is very obvious that the emperor was granted the title at this time.

What time is it now?Just after the extermination of Jiannu, the end of the Xugong promotion ceremony!

How can Wei Zhongxian, He De, be able to sit on an equal footing with Xiong Tingbi, who has been in the Liao dynasty for ten years, and Zhu Xieyuan, who has pacified the southwest?

You know, even if these two are worthy to enjoy the Taimiao, the soldiers in the world and the ministers and workers of the Manchu Dynasty are all convinced.

But what is Wei Zhongxian?

In the eyes of most people, he was just a gambler, a villain who gained the trust of today's emperor through flattery and sacrifice.

There is no size in the court, and there is no size in the battlefield.

With the merits of building the three halls, one can get the honor of conferring the title of duke of the state. If it is so easy to be a duke of the state, wouldn't it be everywhere?

Ever since the imperial decree to confer Wei Zhongxian was announced to the world last time, there has been a lot of discussion in the government and the public, and everyone has been indignant about it. Some people of insight like Xu Xianchun have already seen that this is the emperor's first step in eradicating the eunuchs. .

All of a sudden, under this appearance, the capital, which had been calm for a long time, became turbulent again.

Many people who had long been dissatisfied with Wei Zhongxian began to secretly collect evidence of his years of violations of law and discipline, intending to tell the whole story at the right time.

The courtiers had different thoughts, and Wei Zhongxian was like an ant on a hot pot, unable to eat or sleep well all day long.

He had never felt such a sense of danger around him.

Xu Xianchun actually didn't want to understand the real intention of the emperor at the beginning, but one day when he was sleeping, he suddenly became enlightened.

He suffered from insomnia that night, and was so excited that he didn't fall asleep all night.

Xu Xianchun was taken aback when he heard Xiaoxie's summons, and immediately prepared the criminal evidence that Yang Huan and Tian Ergeng had collected in advance, and went to Qianqing Palace.

"Minister Xu Xianchun, see my emperor's long live long live!"

"Get up." Zhu Youxiao glanced at him, and said: "Today, I and Wang Cheng'en were on a private visit outside the palace, and met Song Yang, the patrolling censor of Xicheng Bingmasi."

"I called you here to ask you, how did Song Yang become the city patrol censor?"

Xu Xianchun hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, this Song Yang is an old friend of Wei Zhongxian's nephew Fu Zhizong, so the relationship has reached the high position of Xuncheng Yushi."

"So that's the case..." Zhu Youxiao nodded, and said, "So, as Song Yang said, it is true that businessmen in the capital will be driven away if they don't invest in the construction of the shrine?"

"It's true." Xu Xianchun hesitated for a while, and then said:

"Your Majesty, it's not just the capital city. Pan Ruzhen, the governor of Zhejiang, Zeng Guozhen, the doctor of the Ministry of Industry, and Li Zhicai, the commander of the Xiaoling Guard, all took the lead in building the shrine."

"Nowadays in various places, whenever it comes to building a shrine, Dongchang has always been caught by those who don't follow, and those who don't support copy it. Where there is disagreement, it will be directly investigated."

Zhu Youxiao was taken aback for a while, and then he suddenly slapped the table and said angrily, "Bastard! The place is so chaotic, why didn't you report it earlier?"

Who dares!

Having said that, it makes sense.

In the past, if he dared to point out that Wei Zhongxian was wrong, not only would he not be able to bring him down, but he would be hated by the eunuchs. In the end, he would probably end up ruined.
