I'm really not the carpenter emperor

Not long after, I came to a door and found that the candles in Kunning Palace were also brightly lit. Looking quietly, it was Empress Zhang Yan who was weaving clothes by candlelight.

Come to think of it, it's the reason why Longzi is about to come into the world, right?

But how did the empress know that what she was carrying in her belly was a dragon child?

Thinking in his heart, the little eunuch came to the door, cleared his throat, and said in a sharp voice: "The emperor has a decree, please invite the empress of the middle palace to talk to Xi Nuan Pavilion—"

Zhang Yan was concentrating on making clothes for her future son, when she suddenly heard a cry, frightened, and pricked her little finger with a needle.

In an instant, blood dripped out and dripped on the skirt.

Zhang Yan was not angry at all, she put down the unfinished little clothes, but felt a little happy in her heart.

……

In November of the first year, Yuan Chonghuan couldn't bear the urging, arranged Ningyuan affairs, led more than [-] troops from the headquarters, and went out of the city to Liaoyang for reinforcements.

The purpose of this attack is only to support Dongjiang and relieve the pressure on Mao Wenlong.

But more than a month passed, the Korean war continued, the Dongjiang army was isolated and helpless, and Mao Wenlong made several urgent and bloody battles.

There is still no trace of Yuan Chonghuan's rescuers.

On this day, Wei Zhongxian was dealing with affairs in the East Factory, but he saw his nephew Fu Yingxing running from afar, with an anxious expression on his face:

"Uncle, Your Majesty has called you into the palace!"

"What happened?"

Seeing Fu Yingxing's expression, Wei Zhongxian's heart sank, so he asked.

"Something has happened. Your Majesty received Yuan Chonghuan's report, and his face was so dark that it was ugly. Uncle, be careful!"

Hearing this, Wei Zhongxian didn't have time to ask more questions, put down the affairs in hand, and hurried to Qianqing Palace.

"boom!"

Wei Zhongxian had just entered the palace when three memorials flew towards him and hit him directly in the face, causing the old eunuch to groan and almost fall down.

Zhu Youxiao leaned on the recliner, closed his eyes tightly, and said lightly:

"Look it all over."

The first memorial was played by Mao Wenlong.

The Dongjiang army left the island in September and entered North Korea. They fought three bloody battles with Amin's troops and won all three battles.

The time between the second and the first is only half a month, and it was also played by Mao Wenlong.

In this memorandum, Mao Wenlong's tone became more hasty and helpless, saying that on October [-], he received a spy report from North Korea, and found out that Amin was stationed in a North Korean village and was carrying out massacres.

The Dongjiang army was enraged, and Mao Wenlong personally led more than a hundred people, went deep into the Korean territory, waving flags and shouting on all sides, almost killing Amin.

But when Jin Bing came after hearing the news, Mao Wenlong couldn't bear any loss, and didn't dare to continue chasing, so he had to break it up and retreat in a hurry.

He said that if Yuan Chonghuan was able to respond from the north this time, Amin might already be the ghost of the Dongjiang Army at this moment.

As for the third piece, it was played by Yuan Chonghuan one month after he led his troops out of Ningyuan.

Chapter 154

Hong Chengchou moved to Ningyuan and overwhelmed Yuan Chonghuan.

Forced by it, Yuan Chonghuan finally sent troops from Ningyuan, but in this memorial, it was his evasive words.

Although Yuan Chonghuan had left Ningyuan, he had never crossed the Liaohe River, and the turnover was repeated. In more than a month, he only traveled so many miles.

The vassal state of North Korea is related to the Dongjiang settlements and strongholds in the rear of Jinda, as well as North Korea's military and food support to Dongjiang. It must not be lost.

But Yuan Chonghuan would rather give up on North Korea, but also went to repair the Ning and Jin city walls to buy time to build the Ningjin defense line, and repeatedly failed to comply.

Sometimes, Zhu Youxiao really wanted to kill this bastard directly.

Wei Zhongxian guessed that the emperor summoned himself into the palace this time either to dismiss Yuan Chonghuan or to kill Yuan Chonghuan.

He failed to comply with the edict three times, and left Ningyuan for a month, but he was in circles, and it was thanks to this Ningyuan soldier who was prepared to do it!

Wei Zhongxian walked carefully into the Dongnuan Pavilion under the direction of Wang Chaofu, only to see the dimly lit pavilion, and the tea on the imperial table was already cold.

The emperor leaned back on the seat without any expression on his face.

"Master, the servant girl is here—"

Zhu Youxiao chuckled, looked out the window, but suddenly said:

"Whose idea was this?"

Wei Zhongxian turned his head to look, heaved a sigh of relief, and said:

"At the beginning, the emperor liked to listen to Yue Fei's stories, and he often compared Mao Wenlong to Yue Fei of this dynasty. The palace people put a lot of thought into it."

"This lantern is really exquisitely cut." Zhu Youxiao said, then turned his head and sighed:

"I just saw it."

Wei Zhongxian smiled: "It is the blessing of the palace people that the emperor can see it."

"My lord is so wise, my servants will serve my lord like dogs and horses. It is always what the emperor wants my servants to do, and my servants will do whatever they want..."

Wei Zhongxian seemed to show his feelings.

Zhu Youxiao gave a ghostly laugh when he was shaken by his words, and turned his eyes, but with sharp eyes, he said:

"Yuan Chonghuan said that Hou Jin's lair was well-prepared, and he had nothing to attack, and he was worried that the Mongols would intervene in the three tribes of Han to commit crimes in the West, so he could not cross the Liaohe River."

"From last year to now, Mao Wenlong has sent troops several times to penetrate behind the enemy's rear. How dare those slave soldiers are fools. If he is allowed to come and go, there will be no soldiers to guard against?"

Zhu Youxiao sneered a few times and said:

"Could it be that he built a ancestral temple for you in Ningyuan and sent some gold and silver, so you just protect it wholeheartedly?"

"Oh my god—"

Wei Zhongxian let out a strange cry, his long donkey face tightened and he said:

"Why are you begging like this, slave? It's true that he cultivated a shrine for the slave, but the recommendation of the slave to the emperor is also to see that he has real talents and practical work."

"Mao Wenlong was in North Korea, and he sent several urgent reports. Yuan Chonghuan was determined to see death, and he didn't recover an inch of land, but he first set up the spectrum of listening to the tune and not listening to the announcement."

"If this servant could have guessed these things, she would not recommend this Zhongshan wolf to the master..."

The emperor's words clearly revealed murderous intentions.

Wei Zhongxian was terrified in his heart, trembling his lips, thinking that he had done his best to Yuan Chonghuan, so of course he couldn't persuade the emperor at this time.

Seeing his appearance, Zhu Youxiao smiled coldly again.

According to the rumors, the admiral of Dongchang was ruthless and cruel, but what Zhu Youxiao saw was that Wei Zhongxian in front of his eyes was terrified like a woman because of a few words.

The disaster of Wang Huazhen must never happen again in Ningyuan!

This is their own country, their own people!

There was a moment of silence in the warm pavilion, and the emperor's voice was clear, and he said every word:

"Whether Yuan Chonghuan will send troops to rescue Ning Yuan, you and I know very well, this time Liaoyang is lucky, it's all because of Mao Wenlong's troubles from behind."

"Decree, Mao Wenlong's solitary army in North Korea has made great achievements in restraining North Korea. This is the strongest. The Dongjiang army should command officers and soldiers, and the dead in battle will be enshrined in the shrine. Those who should be recorded will be ordered to find out the merits and narrate them as usual!"

"As for Yuan Chonghuan..." At this point, Zhu Youxiao's voice became weak, and he said:

"He pretended to beg for money, failed to support the court, and was unable to recover from his slump. Discussions are rampant. It's time to let him go!"

Wei Zhongxian was full of promises, but suddenly he had an idea and said:

"My lord, I still remember that Xiong Tingbi wrote a memorial a few days ago, saying that Shenyang has no generals to defend, and the soldiers and civilians have no intention of fighting. If slave cavalry invade, the defense will suffer huge losses. I suggest you give up on your own initiative."

"Since Shenyang has not been repaired since it was captured by Hou Jin, and you can give up at any time, why not transfer Yuan Chonghuan to Sun Chengzong and let him guard Shenyang?"

"As for whether he can hold it or not, it all depends on his ability."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a trace of coldness in the emperor's eyes, so he didn't dare to say more, just looked down at the ground, waiting for the next sentence.

"Okay, okay!" Zhu Youxiao gritted his teeth when he said these two words, and then looked at a row of bright lights outside the pavilion:

"Just do as you say."

Less leaning, and added another sentence.

"If Yuan Chonghuan resists the decree again this time, I will kill him on the spot! Don't take my oracle seriously..."

After saying that, the Nuan Pavilion fell into silence. Zhu Youxiao saw that Wei Zhongxian was still standing here, and said displeasedly: "Old man, kneel down!"

Wei Zhongxian was taken aback for a moment, then said with a sneer:

"Your servant has one more matter, the emperor must not get angry after hearing this."

When he said this, he also muttered in his heart.

Everyone said that he, the admiral of the East Factory, was not an individual, and that even the emperor was manipulated, but for him, this was simply the worst job in the world.

How can the emperor be played by himself, he has to take the blame and do things, if he is not protected by the emperor, his life may be in danger at any time.

"Heh, what else is more serious than Yuan Chonghuan's rebellion?"

Wei Zhongxian hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "This matter has something to do with the Empress Zhonggong, it is the Zhang family who committed the crime."

Zhu Youxiao was shocked: "Zhang Guoji?"

Zhang Guoji is Zhang Yan's biological father. When he was first crowned queen, he sent Tiqi to his hometown to invite him to Beijing to enjoy his blessings.

Zhu Youxiao asked Beizhen Fusi to investigate. This guy used to be an honest and responsible farmer. Could it be that he became rich and his temper began to deteriorate?

"go on……"

Wei Zhongxian looked at his face slightly, and said:

"It's not the head of the country himself. The head of the country is cautious every day, but Zhang Gongchen, a member of his family, is relying on the face of the head of the country and the empress of the middle palace to bring disaster to the fish and meat town."

"It is said that... five days ago, he forcibly plundered the daughter of a commoner in the capital into the mansion. The commoners went to beg for it, but were beaten to death by the servants of Zhang's mansion."

"Recently, things have gone to the Ministry of Criminal Justice..."

"It is inconvenient for the Ministry of Punishment to punish the relatives, so we had to put it on hold, and sent someone to warn Zhang Gongchen. Unexpectedly, the sent guards were also beaten out of Zhang's residence with random sticks, and several people were injured."

"Liang Menghuan, the inspector of Zhili, has a clear reputation, and was entrusted by the people to picket this matter."

"The Criminal Department of the Metropolitan Procuratorate didn't care about it, and also intervened in this matter. They followed the vines and found out that many people from the Zhang family had seized the land in Gyeonggi and embezzled more than [-] taels of silver..."

Zhu Youxiao was taken aback for a moment, this matter is interesting.

During this period of time, the imperial court repeatedly set up large prisons, and the Donglin was stained with blood. The rumors had just subsided for a few days, but the empress' relatives made such a big thing happen.

Wei Zhongxian said on the side:

"My lord, it's really spreading in the court now."

"It is said that you killed Dong Lin arbitrarily, that the emperor in the middle palace was in the fish and meat village, bullying men and women, but you didn't pay any attention to it. This matter came from the inner court. The slaves don't know the details, but it is recommended to deal with it as soon as possible."

"In order not to spread the news and ruin the court's law."

Chapter 155 Take him to rectify the law first

After talking about the foreign relatives, Wei Zhongxian knew that it was from the inner court, so it was inconvenient for him to say more, so he knelt down first and left the Xinuang Pavilion.

On the second day, Zhu Youxiao was wearing a plain gauze jacket and laying on the seat. Behind him was a [-]- or [-]-year-old maid who was pinching his shoulders and kneading his acupoints.

Accompanied by a comfortable groan, Wang Tigan walked in.

It is inconvenient for Wei Zhongxian to say more about this matter, but Wang Tigan, who is in charge of the Dujian Mansion, knows it clearly and needs to report to the emperor.

"Your Majesty." Wang Tiqian said softly: "The servants of the Zhang family who did evil have been thrown into prison by the factory officials."

"What's the use of catching a few young people?" Zhu Youxiao snorted softly, frowned slightly, and said without opening his eyes:

"This Wei Zhongxian, I've started to be timid about how to handle things recently."

Wang Ti laughed a few times, as one of the most powerful eunuchs in the palace, he naturally knew what Wei Zhongxian was thinking, and said:

"Recently, due to the closure of Donglin Academy and Ye Xianggao, the factory officials received a lot of scolding, and Yuan Chonghuan was transferred away. I am afraid that Yuan Maozi will also hate him in Liaodong..."

"Dongchang shouldn't be afraid of Zhang's family in this punishment of relatives, but they only took a few slaves. The slaves guessed that they were afraid that the queen would hold grudges."

Zhu Youxiao laughed aloud, noncommittal, and suddenly asked:
