Chapter 3: Chaise longue

The next day, it was past noon. Emperor Zhu Youxiaocai and Wei Zhongxian hurriedly came to Ciqing Palace.

As soon as he entered the door, Zhu Youzhen ran over and grabbed Zhu Youxiao's hand and shouted, "Big brother, why did you come, I've finished eating." ”

Emperor Zhu Youxiao's face was a little gloomy, and he showed a smile when he saw Zhu Youzhen. He took his little hand and asked, "Little Wu, how do you feel today?" Have a good appetite? ”

"Yes, great. I ate 3 large bowls of rice. Zhu Youzhen deliberately replied loudly, and bent his right arm to show the young muscles on his slender little arm, "Look, big brother, I'm all right." ”

Zhu Youxiao looked at his small figure and thin arms, and couldn't help laughing. "Okay, my little five are all right."

"Big brother", Zhu Youzhen deliberately hugged his leg and pushed him to the chair, and at the same time said in a coquettish voice: "It's that this chair is so hard and very uncomfortable to sit on, I want my eldest brother to help me make a comfortable chair." ”

Zhu Youxiao walked to the chair and sat down, felt it, and asked with some doubts: "It's not hard, aren't all chairs like this?" ”

Zhu Youzhen deliberately made a small face and shouted: "It's just very hard." It's still uncomfortable to put on a cushion. Big brother, we might as well take this board, tie it with ropes, and put it on a mat, it should be soft. ”

He spoke very messily, but Zhu Youxiao keenly felt that it seemed to be very feasible. He rubbed his hands together excitedly, thinking about how to proceed.

Wei Zhongxian bowed forward and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, in the afternoon, the cabinet scholars will discuss the government affairs, and you will listen to the government again." The time is almost up. ”

"Big brother?" Zhu Youzhen pitifully took Zhu Youxiao's hand and shouted.

Zhu Youxiao looked at the poor Zhu Youzhen, was silent for a while, waved his hand and said, "I won't go, Wei Datong will listen to it on my behalf, right?" If there's anything important, come back and tell me about it. Go ahead, and by the way, have someone bring me my toolbox. ”

Wei Zhongxian was silent for a moment, and then responded in a low voice: "The old slave respectfully obeys His Majesty's orders. He turned and walked out.

A moment later, a huge tool box arrived. Zhu Youxiao took off his yellow robe, wore only a short shirt, opened the tool box and took out various tools, and began to transform the chair. Zhu Youzhen was enthusiastic to help (make trouble) on the side.

Zhu Youxiao skillfully removed the seat of the chair, looked at the slender frame and said, "Little Wu, I'm afraid your requirements can't be met, this side of the frame is too narrow." After drilling the hole, the hole is too small to wear the rope; The hole is too large, and the frame is broken when the rope is pulled too much. It seems that it has to be done in particular. ”

Zhu Youzhen clapped his little hands and shouted, "Okay, good." Then make a special chair and make a chair that can lie down and sleep. With that, he ran to sit down on a chair and tried to stretch his calves to show off. But he was too small to lean his back on the back of the chair, and his legs couldn't reach the ground, which made him look particularly funny.

Zhu Youxiao looked funny, went over and hugged him aside, made it to the chair himself, stretched out his legs, half-lay on the chair and asked, "Is that so, Xiao Wu?" ”

Zhu Youzhen clapped his hands and cheered: "Yes, yes." Big brother is so smart, how comfortable it is like this. ”

Zhu Youxiao narrowed his eyes and conceived the image of a reclining chair in his mind.

This is Zhu Youzhen after a night of full thinking, he considered that if he made a sofa, the spring of the sofa, it would be difficult to find a replacement at this stage, so he simply replaced the sofa with a recliner.

In the front court, in the small courtyard of the cabinet, Wei Zhongxian, as a representative of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, attended the cabinet meeting in silence for the first time, and did not say a word throughout the whole process. But he didn't expect that even this kind of performance would attract criticism.

On the second day, Wang Xinyi, an official of the imperial history, wrote a letter to impeach Wei Zhongxian for "being of humble origin, not able to read and ink, confusing the Holy Lord, and obstructing traffic." The documents were quickly sent to the palace through the Secretary of Communications.

Wei Zhongxian was shocked when he learned the content. He didn't understand how he had offended those civil officials when he had obviously done nothing. With the impeachment document in hand, he had no choice but to rush to the Emperor of the Apocalypse with anxiety and plead guilty to him.

Zhu Youxiao and Zhu Youzhen are in the Changchun Palace, busy making the envisioned recliners. When Wei Zhongxian arrived, Zhu Youxiao had just used an axe to trim the frame of a chair. He held it in his hand and proudly showed off to Zhu Youzhen.

Wei Zhongxian quickly ran to the Emperor of the Apocalypse, knelt on the ground, and presented the impeachment document with both hands. Emperor Tianqi looked at Wei Zhongxian, who was crying and mourning, acting in a panic, and trembling on his knees, picked up the impeachment book and glanced at it casually, then threw it aside, and said with a smile: "Little Wu, what do you think of this border?" ”

Zhu Youxiao is now getting more and more bored with the ministers of the former court. When he was about to ascend the throne last year, the ministers carried out a palace transfer case and forcibly drove Li Xuanzhi, who had raised him, out of the Qianqing Palace. In his opinion, although this Li Xuanzhi's behavior is a bit domineering, she raised herself anyway. Even if she covets the title of the queen mother, it is reasonable to be crowned a princess. Why do you have to drive out of the Qianqing Palace, not to mention that you are not satisfied with moving to Renshou Palace, and you even have to set fire to kill people, which is a bit too much.

Zhu Youxiao felt even more annoyed that after the palace removal case, none of the ministers bravely stood up and took responsibility. On the contrary, some people are accusing themselves of being unfilial. In order to quickly calm down public opinion, the ministers even came up with an explanation to admit that Li Xuanzhi abused his biological mother to death, which is even more ridiculous. The bad things they do, they have to wipe them themselves. Although he was weak by nature, in order to quickly calm down public opinion, he agreed against his will, but he really felt depressed and uncomfortable.

The old Wang An in the palace, now he really doesn't dare to use it anymore. He was too close to the ministers outside. It is not an exaggeration to say that he colluded inside and outside. Fortunately, he took the opportunity of the eunuch who was in charge of the seal of the eunuch to approve his fake resignation for the first time, and then he was thrown out of the palace.

After all, this Wei Zhongxian grew up with him, and he is loyal, even if he is greedy for money, he will never harm himself. The affairs in the palace were handed over to him, and he dared to sleep a few restful nights with confidence.

But the government affairs of the front court are too complicated. The ministers are more complicated than the other, and it is difficult to tell whether they are loyal or treacherous. For that complicated world, he still instinctively avoided.

In his eyes, this carpenter's work is real, and this world is the world that truly belongs to him.

Zhu Youzhen glanced at Wei Zhongxian and focused his attention on the frame in front of him. Zhu Youxiao's craftsmanship is really good, with just an axe, he can repair a rough piece of wood smoothly and smoothly, without using a planer knife at all. This kind of craftsmanship has only been heard in legends in previous lives. Looking at Zhu Youxiao's slightly rough hands, you can know how much hard work he has practiced.

Zhu Youzhen applauded loudly from the bottom of his heart, "Big brother is awesome." In just a few moments, one was done. This one is so smooth. Are we going to drill a hole below? He looked up at Zhu Youxiao, as if he had accidentally discovered Wei Zhongxian. He pretended to be naΓ―ve and said, "Eunuch Wei, what's wrong with you, have you been bullied?" Why are you kneeling here alone? Are you looking for my eldest brother to help you get justice? Big brother, help him, he looks so pitiful. ”
