If an emperor were to be a carpenter, he would certainly be a good carpenter. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

If a carpenter is asked to be an emperor, then he is certainly not a good emperor.

In the twenty-second year of Yuanhong in Daning, Zhu Zhengxian, the son of heaven, died, and the temple name was Muzong.

Mu, Tongmu.

The reason why there is such a temple name is because this emperor likes to play with wood too much. The dragon bed in the dormitory Dragon Rest Palace was all made by him. I remember one time, he opened a screen, and on a whim, he sent the eunuch on duty to disguise himself as a merchant, and took the screen to the market to sell, asking for a price of 10,000 taels of silver, and not a penny less.

The father-in-law on duty was scared when he heard it, and the reason why he was scared was because this father-in-law didn't understand wood at all. 10,000 taels, buy a big house with a back garden of 20 acres of land in the capital, and the rest of the money is enough to marry a two-bedroom side room. Who would be stupid enough to spend 10,000 taels of silver to buy a screen?

But His Majesty said 10,000 taels, which is 10,000 taels, and it will not work if it is less.

If you dare to say that it is not easy to sell, it means that you look down on the craftsmanship of the saint and cut off your head.

Dare to sell it cheaply and make up for it yourself, in case you expose the stuffing, bully the king, and cut off your head.

If you dare not sell it, it means that you have not done your best to serve Your Majesty, and you still cut off your head.

It's better to sell it head-on, even if you can't sell it, at least you can live a little longer.

As a result, in just half an hour, this screen was sold for 15,000 taels at the east gate. This is the buyer's own price, and before leaving, he threw down a sentence: Mu Shenggong lost in the world, and it was nothing more than that.

If a carpenter is asked to be an emperor, then he is certainly not a good emperor.

He ascended the throne at the age of twenty and died at the age of forty-two. During his twenty-two years of reign, he lasted only seventeen days. He often confused the secretary of the military department and the secretary of the ministry, and the secretary of the criminal department was driven out of the capital by three levels because his name was too obscure.

The devil knows why the first emperor chose such a son to inherit the unification.

So he died.

Because the state does not need such an emperor.

In the twentieth year of Daning Yuanhong, Zhu Zhengxian suddenly ran to the East Palace, and the queen, who had not been fortunate for four years, was so excited that she fainted on the spot, and when she woke up, she found that Her Majesty had left. Asked about the eunuch Gong'e, said that His Majesty came to the East Palace, to find a stainless steel carving knife left here four years ago, paid tribute by the Persian State, for the queen fainting, His Majesty was very concerned, and said, "Don't you pass the imperial doctor soon!?" After that, he left in a hurry.

When the queen heard this, she cried and fainted again. After being carried to the Queen Mother's palace to complain, two widows, one old and one young, hugged their heads and cried until late at night.

Lv Tianlin, surnamed Lv Ke Tianlin, is known as Lv Tanhua. The reason is very simple, because he is really a first-class tanhua in the fourteenth year of Yuan Hong.

If you can be an official, why should you be a thief?

Because there is no money.

If you don't have money, you can't be an official. At that time, the son of the same department, even the straw bales of the top three went out of Beijing to take up his post, and he, the first-class Tanhua, was still at home. Slowly, Lu Tianlin woke up from the excitement of the title of the gold list: in a court where the palace examination was presided over by the first assistant minister, and the emperor was nowhere to be found, it is useless to have knowledge. No matter how much you have great knowledge and great ambitions, as long as you don't have money, you can't be an official.

After more than ten years of hard study, it was just wasted.

Fortunately, I have practiced martial arts since I was a child, I am good at passing on swordsmanship at home, and I am good at home.

Taking advantage of his many years in the capital, he knew the terrain of the capital well, and was even invited to the mansion by many dignitaries and nobles, Lu Tianlin stole several famous corrupt officials in the capital. Just more than 1,000 taels of silver tickets, a month down to steal more than a dozen, gold and silver are even more innumerable, a rough calculation, even if you are a corrupt official, you can't be greedy so much for ten years and eight years, the key is that no one has gone to the yamen to shout grievances.

What's so good about being an official? Or be a thief. There is a way to take it from the people and give it to the people, and you corrupt officials will pay back the stolen money from the people.

Therefore, Lu Tianlin will be so famous, not only on the rivers and lakes, but also among the people. Whenever the silver tickets on the corrupt officials' mansions are gone, and whenever some poor people inexplicably appear in their homes, a flower carved from charcoal will be left at the crime scene, and the reputation of "charcoal flower thief" will be spread.

In the twenty-first year of Daning Yuanhong, Lu Tianlin's home was suddenly surrounded, and the people who came were wearing civilian clothes, but they were all masters in their posture.

Exposed? Lu Tianlin was also frightened, and even regretted the token "charcoal flower" left at the scene every time, could it be that the group of wine bags and rice bags in the yamen can really think of the "tanhua" who has been waiting for many years from the token of "charcoal flower"?

"Wonderful, wonderful!" When Lu Tianlin opened the courtyard door, an old man stood at the door with a kind face, looked at the charcoal piled in the corner of the courtyard, and then laughed, it seems that he is not here to get people, and besides, the government is not there to take people, and there is no need to let the head catcher change into civilian clothes. Wait, how can this man be feminine? It looks familiar...... Not long ago, when he was invited to the house for a drink by Liu Shilang of the Ministry of Rites, this person seemed to be there...... "Father-in-law Chen? ”

"Hahahaha, Lu Tanhua can still remember the old slave, which really flatters the old slave! Tanhualang, don't come to harm, right? It seems that Lu Tianlin really didn't recognize the wrong person, the man in front of him was Chen Fang, the eunuch of the palm print of the Tsing Yi Battalion. Don't look at it as just a eunuch, this person has just grasped the real power of the country's largest secret agent yamen "Tsing Yi Battalion", although it is only a five-rank position, but he is a person who has to retreat even when he is a first-rank official.

"My father-in-law is here, and the humble house is shining! Father-in-law, please! ”

"Tanhua, please!"

"What is the matter with my father-in-law's trip?"

"Lu Tanhua, the old slave is in a tight time for this trip, so I won't go around in circles with you, I want you to go to His Majesty's imperial study and steal something!"

The father-in-law laughed...... Lu is only a scholar, where does he know the art of stealing? ”

"Oh?" After hearing this, Chen Fang smiled and looked at the charcoal piled up on the wall, and then took out a slightly broken "charcoal flower" from his sleeve, "Dare to ask Lu Tanhua to know, why can the 'charcoal flower thief' be rampant in the capital?" ”

"Please also ask your father-in-law to teach me!" At this time, Lu Tianlin's clothes were already sweaty.

"Today's saints are mediocre, corrupt officials are rampant, and the flower thieves naturally have something to steal! If Ming Jun ascends the throne and the court is honest and honest, wouldn't the charcoal flower thief starve to death? Since you can't catch the charcoal thief, it's better to find a way to cut off his wealth and return the people to a peaceful and prosperous world! As soon as Chen Fang's words came out, Lu Tianlin's heart was put down.

Saying that the saint is mediocre and expects Mingjun to ascend the throne is a naked rebellion and the sin of the nine clans. It seems that this old eunuch is not here to find fault, but to trade.

What is a transaction?

You hold my handle, I hold your handle, this is called a deal, if not a deal, at least sincerity.

But then again, just stealing one thing can make Mingjun ascend the throne? What is it? Could it be the emperor's head? It's really a joke. It wasn't stealing, it was assassination.

Even if the emperor is mediocre and loves to beat furniture, the sin will not lead to death. Besides, the sin of assassinating the emperor and digging up the grave of the ancestors, I and you, an old eunuch, what kind of hatred and hatred, is it worth you to harm me so much?

Facts have proved that Lu Tianlin is really worried.

What Chen Fang asked him to steal was really the same thing.

Half a year ago, the queen cried to the queen mother and told that the emperor ignored the government and did not come to the harem, and the country would not be a country in the long run.

So, the Queen Mother found her son who was busy digging wood in the imperial study, and persuaded her son not to be bored in the house and go out for a walk appropriately.

His mother's suggestion gave Zhu Zhengxian an idea. yes, I'm going to go out for a walk!

There is a way that if you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools!

When the emperor travels, he wants to take the dragon! I'm going to build a dragon myself!!

When the emperor travels, he wants to live in the palace, and I want to build a palace myself!!

However, can the dragon and the palace be combined into one?

In my hands, there is no impossible.

I want to build one, which can be used as a palace, dragon!!

Just do it!

Today's saint, since that day, began to immerse himself in the design of a dragon that can be used as a palace, and he has been doing it for more than half a year. This will be a monument in the history of woodwork! This dragon will surely go down in history! These three words of Zhu Zhengxian will be praised by craftsmen all over the world for generations, just like Mu Shenggong!

Actually, the queen mother just wanted her son to go to the harem.

She didn't know that this helpless persuasion would eventually kill her son.

The imperial study is the place where the emperor made woodware, during the design of the dragon, Zhu Zhengxian himself ate and lived here day and night, and the surrounding 1,500 internal guards patrolled all night in three shifts, except for the queen mother, even a fly could not fly into the imperial study.

Lu Tianlin was not a fly, but he really flew in.

On June 15 of the 22nd year of Yuanhong, the design of the dragon was completed.

On June 16, the 22nd year of Yuan Hong, the design drawings were stolen, and a "charcoal flower" was left at the scene.

On June 17, the 22nd year of Yuanhong, Lu Tianlin's hut on the outskirts of Beijing was once again surrounded by the "Tsing Yi Battalion", but Lu Tianlin himself had long since disappeared.

On the same day, an urgent letter of 600 miles was sent from the capital to Lu Tianlin's hometown, and his ancestral house was empty.

On June 22, the 22nd year of Yuan Hong, Lu Tianlin was arrested by the whole country by the imperial court.

On June 28, the 22nd year of Yuan Hong, Zhu Zhengxian died, and the cause of death was a recurrence of distressed disease.

On June 30 of the 22nd year of Yuan Hong, the crown prince ascended the throne and changed to Yuan Kangzheng. Chen Fang, the eunuch of the Qingshan Battalion, was sealed as "the eunuch of the celebrant and the seal of the eunuch", "the eunuch of the inner guard", and the "eunuch of the first class of the Taihe Palace" were in charge of the thirty-two guards of the inner house, and the right to approve the red on behalf of the saint. Since the founding of the state of Daning, Emperor Taizu's holy precepts stated that all capital crimes in the world must be submitted to the Holy Lord for approval by the Criminal Department, and now, Chen Fang also has the right to do this.

The notice that Lu Tianlin is wanted is now only the confetti on the wall, and Lu Tianlin is still missing. In the rivers and lakes, no one has ever seen a flower carved from charcoal.
