Chapter 103: The Carpenter Emperor
The sky is already bright, and Zhao Chen has not yet arrived! Zhe Ke begged: "I'm afraid Your Majesty won't come today!" Let's discuss the government! ”
Li Gang said: "Your Majesty has not had an early dynasty for several days!" I've heard that Your Majesty is out hunting these days! How can this be? ”
Zhe Ke begged: "Your Majesty is only an eleven-year-old boy, and there is also a snooze in the morning!" It's okay not to come to the morning once in a while! As for hunting, Your Majesty has a youthful temperament and occasionally goes outside for a walk, so what's the matter? ”
Li Gang said angrily: "Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, how can you treat him as an ordinary teenager?" As the Son of Heaven, you must lead by example, and you must not participate in the early dynasty! And as the Son of Heaven, he can't go out hunting every day and waste his time! Today I will go to the Qianqing Palace to find Your Majesty and admonish Your Majesty! ”
Zhe Ke begged: "Your Majesty must be sleeping at this time, you have gone over now and disturbed Your Majesty's sleep, so what should I do?" ”
Li Gang said: "For the sake of the Great Song Dynasty, I must meet Your Majesty!" ”
A sneer appeared on his face, and he said, "The Imperial Palace, it's not like you can go if you say it!" ”
Li Gang glared angrily at Zhe Keqiu and said, "Lord Zhe, what do you mean by this?" ”
Zhe Ke begged Yangtian to snort, and didn't answer Li Gang's words, just looked away, and never looked at Li Gang again!
Li Gang gritted his teeth and walked towards the outside of the Taihe Palace! He came to the outside of the Taihe Palace, and was about to go in the direction of the Qianqing Palace, when suddenly several guards stepped forward and stopped Li Gang there!
"I am the prime minister of the Great Song Dynasty, and I want to go to the Qianqing Palace to meet Your Majesty, how dare you stop me?" Li Gang shouted.
"Master Li, I'm sorry, we can't let you go!" The head of the imperial camp, the original commander of the palace and the deputy envoy, and the current commander of the palace Kang An stepped forward and said in a low voice.
"I'm the prime minister, can't I see Your Majesty?" Li Gang said.
"We can't let anyone go without the order of Lord Ori!" Kang An Road.
"Bastard! Is this world His Majesty's world, or is it a world that can be sought? Li Gang asked.
"Master Li, I'm sorry!" Kang An sighed softly!
Li Gang gritted his teeth and rushed forward, the guards had already grabbed Li Gang's arm and didn't let him continue to move forward! No matter how Li Gang struggled, they wouldn't let Li Gang pass!
At this moment, Li Gang really had no choice, he had to retreat! He glanced at these guards, tidied up his court clothes, and then saw him close his eyes, suppress his anger, and slowly return to the Taihe Palace!
Seeing Li Gang returning, he had a smug smile on his face, and the ministers in the court were also full of smiles! For them, they just watched a good scene! This Li Gang is like a harlequin, extremely funny!
"It's a matter of asking for it, Your Majesty is Your Majesty the people of the world, and you don't even let me go to see Your Majesty, this is a great crime of rebellion!" Li Gang said.
"To tell you the truth, the guards of this imperial camp are under the jurisdiction of Your Majesty, and I can't mobilize these imperial guards! They stopped you, Master Li, and I can't help it! Zhe Keqiu snorted and said.
"You ......" Li Gang was speechless angrily!
"Master Li, Your Majesty will not come, let's talk about the government! I'm going to recommend Li Qing, the governor of Suizhou, as the prefect of Mianzhou, I don't know what you think? "Fold, ask.
"Li Qing, the governor of Suizhou? This man was imprisoned last year for embezzling 80,000 taels of silver! Now that he is still waiting for sin, how can he become the prefect of Mianzhou? Li Gang said.
"I have already sent someone to find out, the so-called greed of 80,000 taels of silver is just a false accusation by others, Lord Li is unusually incorruptible, and he is unusually attentive to the affairs of the imperial court, so I recommended him as the prefect of Mianzhou!" Fold and seek the way.
In fact, Li Qing's family sent 300,000 taels of silver to Zhe Keqiu, so Zhe Keqiu decided to let Li Qing go! Now the civil and military ministers of the imperial court are already close associates, but many local state officials are still loyal to the Great Song Dynasty, so Zhi Keqiu is ready to replace all the local state officials with his cronies in one to two years! He has already sent someone to ask Li Qing for questions, and Li Qing has decided to be loyal to Zhekeqiu, so he will be reused! As for whether this Li Qing has talent, whether he can govern the place, and whether he is corrupt, he doesn't care at all! For Zhe Keqiu, the most important thing is to build up his power now, as long as he has loyal subordinates, no matter whether the subordinates are smart or stupid, no matter what the talents of the subordinates are!
"I'm the prime minister of the Great Song Dynasty, I can't agree to this matter!" Li Gang said.
"Master Li, I heard that Li Qing is quite honest and loves the people very much, I think he is enough to serve as the prefect of Mianzhou!" At this moment, Han Ping stood up and said.
"I also think that Li Qing can serve as the prefect of Mianzhou!" Wei Ming, a close confidant who could ask for it, stood up.
"I also think that Li Qing is qualified to be the prefect of Mianzhou!"
"I agree with ...... too"
"I agree ......"
One by one, the ministers spoke! All the ministers looked at Li Gang with a mocking smile on their faces!
"Lord Li, the ministers of the DPRK and the Central Committee have agreed, and this matter is settled!" Zhe Keqiu laughed.
"I am the prime minister, and now Your Majesty has no early dynasty, and without my seal, Li Qing cannot serve as the prefect!" Li Gang said categorically.
"I'm afraid that if you agree to this matter, you will agree, and if you don't agree, you will agree! Before the early dynasty, His Majesty's will had already gone down to Mianzhou! "Fold, ask.
"Your Majesty's will? When did Your Majesty give the will? Why don't I know? Li Gang said.
"Your Majesty wants to give an order, why do you want to tell you to know?" Fold and seek the way.
"You...... If you ask for it, it must be your false decree! Li Gang said.
"There is His Majesty's jade seal on the holy decree, how can it be fake?" Fold and laugh.
"I'm going to see Your Majesty!" Li Gang said.
"If you can see Your Majesty, you can ask Your Majesty! Today's government has been discussed, let's disperse the court! Zhi Keqiu ignored Li Gang anymore and strode outside, and those ministers laughed and walked outside!
Li Gang stayed in the Taihe Palace, he looked in the direction of the Qianqing Palace, his brows furrowed!
"No, I have to figure out what's going on? Why didn't Your Majesty come to the early court, why did Your Majesty go hunting every day? Has Your Majesty really become like this, or is it for the sake of paralysis? I have to figure this out! Li Gang said secretly.
It's just that he wants to see Zhao Chen in the palace, but it's impossible now! The guards were all holding him back, and he couldn't get past it!
"Your Majesty has been hunting these days, and it is possible to go hunting today! I'm going to stop him in the way, ask him, and see what it's for? Li Gang thought about it and walked towards the outside of the Taihe Palace!
He walked very slowly, and when he reached the gate of the palace, he stopped! The palace guards didn't get the order they wanted, so they didn't drive Li Gang away!
The autumn sun was shining, Li Gang was a little tired after standing for a while, he simply leaned against the wall! He thought that Zhao Chen would come out soon, but until noon, Zhao Chen still didn't come out! Li Gang was a little unbelievable! He was still there silently waiting! Until the afternoon, Zhao Chen still didn't come out!
"Your Majesty didn't even leave the palace today?" Li Gang frowned, he finally couldn't bear it anymore and returned home after dark!
*** ***
At this moment, in the Qianqing Palace, there are a bunch of "tools" in front of Zhao Chen, including axes, saws, rulers, planers and other things for carpentry!
In addition to these, there are pieces of wood on the ground, and countless sawdust! There's also a boxy thing that looks like a stool!
Zhao Chen picked up this stool and said, "I've been doing it for a day, and I've only made such a stool!" Moreover, it's still so ugly! ”
Lin Bao squatted aside and said with a smile: "Your Majesty just did carpentry today, so naturally it is not very beautiful!" But with His Majesty's supreme intelligence, I'm afraid it won't be long before I can make something beautiful! ”
Zhao Chen nodded and said, "You're right!" I'm really tired today, I'm going to lie down for a while, and I'll continue to do it tomorrow! ”
Lin Bao said: "Yes! It's all up to Your Majesty! ”
Zhao Chen had already returned to the dormitory, he seemed to be unusually tired, lying there and falling asleep! Lin Bao hurriedly went in to cover Zhao Chen with a quilt! However, looking at Zhao Chen's tired appearance, Lin Bao was still amused!
He didn't expect that Zhao Chen didn't go hunting today, but started doing carpentry! And Zhao Chen was very interested in doing carpentry, and Zhao Chen was full of relish all day long!
"Since ancient times, there has never been a carpenter emperor! However, there was a carpenter emperor in my Great Song Dynasty! There are countless faint kings in the world, but it is the first time I have seen such a mediocre emperor as the little emperor! If this matter is reported to Lord Zhe, Lord Zhe will definitely die of laughter! It's just that I don't know if Your Majesty is only temporarily interested in carpentry, or will he always be interested in carpentry? Lin Bao secretly guessed.
He didn't know that there was no "carpenter emperor" before the Song Dynasty, but there was a "carpenter emperor" in the Ming Dynasty after the Song Dynasty! This emperor is called Zhu Youxiao, known as Ming Xizong in history! At that time, it was the end of the Ming Dynasty, and the Jurchens had risen again between the white mountains and black waters, and the peasant uprisings in the Ming Dynasty were also very rampant! In such a situation, Zhu Youxiao has no interest in national affairs at all, and Zhu Youxiao hides in the harem every day to do carpentry! This person has left a mediocre reputation in history, but at this moment, Zhao Chen wants to learn from Zhu Youxiao, the "carpenter emperor"!
"Zhu Youxiao, Zhu Youxiao, I'm sorry, I'm going to snatch your name of 'Carpenter Emperor'! I'm also forced to do this! I want to make me corrupt and degenerate, I want to play every day, and I am not interested in national affairs! Very good, I'll just go with it! Let's hunt first, but hunting is not appalling enough, there are more emperors who hunt every day in history, and it doesn't show that my Zhao Chen is particularly 'mediocre and incompetent'! From now on, I will be a carpenter every day, a carpenter every day! This is terrifying, right? Presumably, it won't be long before my name as the carpenter emperor will be known to the whole world and ridiculed by the world! Zhe Ke begged to laugh at me, King Kang laughed at me, and the Jurchens laughed at me! But this is the best, others laugh at me, others look down on me, naturally they will not pay attention to me, will not be wary of me! When the time comes, I will be able to destroy the enemy by surprise and truly control my own destiny!! Zhao Chen, who was lying on the bed "asleep" at the moment, was also fluctuating.
