Chapter 5 Far-fetched

Since Zhu Cijing learned that his father was the carpenter emperor, he was extremely depressed. It would be strange if an emperor who was dedicated to being a carpenter could manage the country well.

No wonder in history, Emperor Chongzhen, Zhu Youjian, could not manage the Ming Dynasty well without sleeping and eating. It is conceivable that the stall left by an emperor who made windows was more important than state affairs.

Now the problem is, the one who succeeds him may be Zhu Cijiu, the Prince of Dehuai. If the father of the cheap will continue to play like this, wouldn’t he have the same fate as Emperor Chongzhen!

What to do? It is definitely unrealistic to talk to your father. A child over four years old talks about life, ideals, and governance of the country?

Forget it, if he really dares to talk about this with his father, he will probably soon be a bunch of monks or Taoists who come to him to talk about the issue of ghosts!

He could only run to the Ganqing Palace all day long on the grounds of paying homage. He would stay as long as he could. He always wanted to be more sensible to his father:

This prince is watching you here. Don’t play with Mu Sangzhi anymore. Hurry up and pretend to be an emperor to handle government affairs, otherwise the future emperor will be ruined by you.

As for the effect of doing this...it's that it's not effective.

Emperor Xizong of Ming Dynasty did not think about this at all. He did not think he was the emperor, he thought he was a carpenter.

Originally, when he was doing carpenter work, he strictly forbidden people to disturb him, but his own son was an exception. Moreover, Zhu Cijing usually ran around the wood he made, playing with his own things, and rarely disturbing him.

When I was tired of working, I occasionally looked up at my lively son. The warm feeling made Emperor Xizong of Ming feel that this carpenter work was even more exciting!

If Zhu Cijing knew that he was thinking this way, he would probably be able to vomit blood!

............

It is impossible to govern such a large country without any trouble all day long. If he doesn't care about it, this matter will come to his door.

Look, Zhu Cijing had only been there a few times, and someone came to find Emperor Xizong of Ming.

On this day, Zhu Cijing ran to the side hall where his father was doing carpentry work as usual. He was studying the structure of the wheels under the carriage. Suddenly, the eunuch suddenly sang in the distance: "The Sili Supervisor, the Admiral of the East Factory, and the Governor of the Jinyiwei Eunuch. He asked for a visit."

This is the case where Emperor Xizong of Ming seemed to have not heard of it, and he was still continuing to do his carpenter work.

Soon, the eunuch sang loudly from the door: "Slaves meet Eunuch Wei."

Zhu Cijiu was confused. What's going on? Isn't it because he asked for a meeting? He didn't seem to hear his father announce his visit. Why did this guy run in by himself?

This guy is his old enemy and a famous bad guy in history. Zhu Cijing only felt his little heart so scared that he jumped straight. He said he was very scared, and subconsciously shrank back and hid behind the carriage.

Soon a middle-aged eunuch who seemed loyal but had a sinister eyes ran in, knelt in front of his father, and said in panic: "Qi Zhu, the father-in-law Zhang Guoji, who committed a murderer, killed a seven-year-old child in the downtown area, aroused public anger. Now hundreds of people have gathered, which may cause public change!"

Emperor Xizong of Ming was suddenly interrupted and was very unhappy, but in his eyes, Eunuch Wei seemed to be like the prince, and was tolerated.

He just frowned when he heard this, and said angrily while tug-of-war: "There are only a few hundred people, what kind of civil unrest will it cause? Just ask Shuntian Mansion to deal with it."

This Eunuch Wei seemed a little unwilling to accept it, but he knew the temper of Emperor Xizong of Ming Dynasty, and if he continued, it would be counterproductive.

He stopped talking, kowtowed as Emperor Xizong of Ming Dynasty, and replied respectfully: "I'm going to do it by Shuntian Mansion."

After saying that, he got up, bent down and retreated.

Emperor Xizong of Ming Dynasty may not have noticed it, but Zhu Jing looked at Eunuch Wei's expression clearly. Seeing his eyes rolling around, he must have been uneasy.

This guy clearly wanted to frame the queen's father. Who asked his slave to make trouble and kill people? And he was still a seven-year-old child who had eaten too much?

Also, will hundreds of people watching the fun cause civil unrest?

Before Zhu Cijing understood what was going on, the Jinyiwei at the door whispered loudly: "Sister, please see Mrs. Fengsheng."

Hearing the sound, the father actually threw down his work, ran to the door, and said respectfully: "Woman, why are you here?"

A charming young woman was greeted by him and helped her sit down on a chair.

The young woman said in a pretense, "Is my son busy?"

Emperor Xizong of Ming was not angry at all and smiled and said, "The wet nurse is here, no matter how busy I am, I have to accompany you."

The young woman seemed very satisfied and smiled and said, "Well, the school is still as obedient as when she was a child. I didn't care about you in vain."

Emperor Xizong of Ming Dynasty actually said respectfully like a good son: "How can the school boy forget the goodness of the wet nurse?"

The young woman pretended to be casually: "I heard that the father-in-law was committing a murderer and murdered people in the downtown area, which caused civil unrest. School, you must take good care of it."

Emperor Xizong of Ming Dynasty immediately said seriously: "Don't worry, wet nurse, I have already asked Shuntian Mansion to investigate and deal with it, so I will never let it go."

The young woman immediately agreed, "Yeah, we should be punished severely. If my daughter is the queen, she will be lawless. That's all."

Emperor Xizong of Ming responded again: "Yes, we must punish it severely."

The young woman thought she had achieved her goal and smiled and said, "Well, this is still the same. School, please be busy, I won't disturb you."

Emperor Xizong of Ming actually bowed and said, "Give me a gift to the wet nurse."

The young woman left with a smile, Zhu Cijing was stunned. A wet nurse could actually be even better than the emperor!

He didn't know what the hell is, but from her tone, she was obviously in the same group as Wei Zhongxian, and the two of them seemed to be in a collusion.

It was not over yet. Zhu Cijing had just walked out of the back of the carriage when the Jinyiwei at the door shouted again: "Sister, please see the Queen."

The queen came to see him every day, but he was not afraid. He simply continued to pretend to play in the wooden utensils, but his ears were pointed.

Emperor Xizong of Ming obviously liked Empress Zhang more, so he even took the initiative to run over and said diligently: "Yan'er, why do you have time to see me? Is it for your father's business?"

Empress Zhang gave a little blessing and said seriously: "When I go back to the emperor, my father has just passed the whole story of the matter. There is indeed a slave in his mansion who rushed to kill a child because of the incident. My father had personally escorted the slave to Shuntian Mansion, but the Dongchang man was slapped and insisted that his father was committing murder. Although his father cannot be regarded as a erudite scholar, he is well-read in poetry and books. How could he do such a thing that is harmful to the heavens? Please let the emperor observe it clearly."

After hearing this, Emperor Xizong of Ming Dynasty not only did not get angry, but also said seriously: "Well, Yan'er, you are so well-educated. How could the father-in-law beg his slave to commit crimes? Someone is here."

The eunuch at the door ran in and knelt down and saluted, "The slave is here."

Emperor Xizong of Ming Dynasty ordered seriously: "Go and tell Shuntian Mansion that this matter was committed by a slave in the father-in-law's mansion accidentally. Just punish the slave severely. Don't force it to the father-in-law."

The eunuch took the order and left. Emperor Xizong of Ming actually teased and said, "Are Yan'er satisfied now? I'll order wine and food tonight. I'll go to your place to have a few drinks."

Queen Zhang said shyly: "Jing'er is still here, what are you saying, "Master?"

Emperor Xizong of Ming Dynasty smiled indifferently and said, "Hahahaha, why don't you take Jiong'er with you?"

Queen Zhang's face was flushed with shame and told Zhu Cijing: "Jinger, be careful not to knock it."

Then, he stomped his feet and turned around and ran away!

But Emperor Xizong of Ming was still there laughing.

“…”

When he saw his old enemy Wei Zhongxian for the first time, Zhu Cijing had learned his viciousness. A slave accidentally hit someone to death, and he actually wanted to deal with his master; hundreds of people gathered around to watch the fun, and he actually said that it would arouse civil unrest! It was so far-fetched that he wanted to kill the father-in-law in a small matter. This guy really dared to think about it.

It can also be seen from this incident that the father is not a fool, not that easy to fool, but he is too addicted to carpenter work and has no intention of managing the government, so he can only let these confidants do it.

He knew that Eunuch Wei and Mrs. Fengsheng were falsely accusing him, but he did not expose it in person. He might have loved these two people too much, or he might have no intention of caring about these intrigues at all.

Zhu Cijing couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "Oh, it seems that this emperor is not easy to be a man. I saw a few people, and there were so many intrigues. The civil and military officials in the court had no idea how much they were thinking. It was difficult to balance and make choices in this. Maybe the father was hiding here as a carpenter just to avoid these troubles."
