Emperor Tianqi was waiting for Zhu Cheng and King Qin in the main hall, and did not even do his beloved carpenters. On the one hand, he maintained the solemnity of the emperor in front of them, and on the other hand, he defeated the Donglin Party, which was almost everywhere in the court and the public, and felt comfortable in his heart and did not need to use carpenter work to anesthetize himself.

Seeing Zhu Cheng coming in, Wei Zhongxian did not forget to take the blame on the King of Qin: "Your Majesty, this King of Qin is too slow. Zhu Cheng is a thirteen-year-old boy who can still come, but the King of Qin has grown up, but he is procrastinating and obviously doesn't take the Emperor seriously."

Emperor Tianqi had a kind personality and said, "Maybe the case with King Qin has delayed it. I am a lot, so I will forgive him for a while."

He said that, but Emperor Tianqi was already vaguely dissatisfied with the King of Qin.

After Zhu Cheng and Zhu Youjian greeted the emperor, Emperor Tianqi said coldly: "Brother Cheng is so capable. He actually demolished my clan's mansion."

"Oh--" Zhu Cheng sighed, "This is another evil committed by the Donglin Party."

Emperor Tianqi frowned slightly and said, "Although the Donglin Party is now a rat crossing the street, you can't hold all the shit on their heads."

"Emperor, I was the only one who was arrested at the Sect Mansion, including Prince Xin and Wu Huping, a hundred households of Jinyiwei. Do you think I have the ability to demolish the Sect Mansion?"

Emperor Tianqi looked at Zhu Cheng for a long time, and suddenly smiled and said, "With your evil ability, it's not like a fun to tear down the sect's mansion."

Hearing Emperor Tianqi and Zhu Cheng joking, Wei Zhongxian's heart finally let go and said, "Zhu Cheng, why don't you explain to the emperor how the lobby of the clan mansion fell."

"Emperor, after I was captured in the clan's mansion, the King of Qin asked the yamen runners to siege us, trying to make a move. Wu Huping and I were unarmed and were about to suffer a great loss. I was so quick that I picked up the musket and fired a gun at the sky, trying to suppress them with the sound of the gun, and then snatched the weapons. As a result, the house collapsed as soon as the gun sounded."

"Shot the gun to the sky, where did you come from in the lobby?"

"Oh, I was wrong, I raised the gun toward the roof and fired a gun. It turned out that I had fired a gun in the house, and the worst result was to break a few tiles and the house was nothing to do. But how could that gun have such great power? I couldn't figure it out, wondering why the tall and sturdy house fell down in response to the sound. As I thought about it, I suddenly remembered something that Eunuch Wei told me last night."

"What's up?"

"The buildings in the Forbidden City have been disrepaired for a long time and have become dilapidated houses. The emperor wanted to repair the palace, but the Donglin Party controlled the Ministry of Revenue and refused to allocate funds. The palace had to let it go. When climbing the walls of the Forbidden City last night, some places were blocked with bricks. Today, when Chen Guoqi led his men to climb the high walls of the clan mansion, he grabbed at least more than ten bricks. What does this mean? It means that some buildings in the Forbidden City are seriously dilapidated."

"What does this have to do with your destruction of the clan's lobby?"

"Your Majesty, I think this is true: the main beam of the lobby of the Zongren Mansion has been severely deformed and is about to break. The moment Weichen fires the gun, the main beam breaks and the house collapses. Therefore, the collapse of the lobby of the Zongren Mansion has nothing to do with Weichen. Weichen is just unlucky, and it happens to be the same."

"Parent Wei," said Emperor Tianqi, "You send someone to bring the main beam of the clan mansion lobby over. I know you have a good personal relationship with Zhu Cheng. This time you are not allowed to make trouble. I want to see the real main beam of the clan mansion lobby."

"I don't dare."

In fact, Wei Zhongxian really wanted to make some tricks. If there was no problem with the main force, let someone create some problems on it. Now that Emperor Tianqi pointed out this, Wei Zhongxian would not dare to take action. Emperor Tianqi is very talented in carpentry, and if he does things, he can't hide it from him.

Wei Zhongxian went out and called a group of young and strong eunuchs and asked them to go to the ruins of the clan mansion to dig out the main beam and sub-girls in the lobby. Emperor Tianqi asked him to move the main beam, but he asked to move the sub-girls together. This was not because he learned from one example, but wanted to give Zhu Cheng a chance to defend himself.

He didn't think that the main beam of the sect mansion was so coincidental. If the main beam was crooked and the King of Qin sat down every day, wouldn't he find it? Although he thought that the house was definitely not demolished by Zhu Cheng, he believed that the problem might not necessarily be on the beam, but it might also appear on the pillar. Unfortunately, the pillar was buried deep under the rubble and could not be dug out. Since the main beam may not be problematic, the beam may be crooked, and the beam may be moved. At that time, Zhu Cheng pointed at it and said nonsense, and he advised him a few words from the side. A huge disaster might be revealed.

A eunuch said: "It is not difficult to dig out all the beams of the sect mansion, but the sect mansion is so far away from here, and it is dark when it is moved here. Can the emperor wait?"

"You are stupid, you won't go to the Royal Horse Supervision to borrow a carriage."

"We are so slight, we can't borrow it."

"It's easy to deal with. I'll call Tu Wenfu. He is the eunuch in the Imperial Horse Supervision Office. Follow him and you can borrow any carriage."

After saying that, Wei Zhongxian returned to the hall and called Tu Wenfu out.

Tu Wenfu was suffering in the hall and did not dare to leave. When he heard Wei Zhongxian calling him, he was as if he had been amnesty and took a group of eunuchs to the Imperial Horse Prison to borrow a carriage.

In the hall, Emperor Tianqi looked at Zhu Cheng and Zhu Youjian, sighed, and said, "What happened today? Why did such a big change happen after I left for half a day?"

Zhu Youjian said, "Brother Axue, it's not that Brother Cheng and I were causing trouble. We went to Cining Palace to pay tribute to the Empress Dowager. When we met Princess Shouning, I chatted with my aunt. Unexpectedly, her housekeeper, Madam Liang... actually slandered me...I..."

Zhu Youjian's eyes turned red, and I was really embarrassed to say the following words.

"Say that Princess Shouning and Prince Xin's aunt and nephew committed adultery." Seeing that Zhu Youjian could not continue, Zhu Cheng made up for him.

"Bang!"

Emperor Tianqi was furious and slapped the desk heavily, saying, "How dare you slander the nobles of the Tian family so much? Do you really think the royal sword is rusted?"

Seeing this, Wei Zhongxian rushed forward and helped him gently rub his hands, and persuaded Wen Yan: "Master, why bother angry at the dirty words that a lowly slave said in a crazy manner? Zhu Cheng will definitely be able to vent his anger for the emperor and Prince Xin at the scene."

"Yes," Zhu Youjian said proudly, "Brother Cheng rushed forward immediately, slapped him in the face, causing the slut to bleed from the corner of his mouth."

"Well, Zhu Cheng, I want to reward you very much!" After saying that, Emperor Tianqi pulled off his belt and handed it to Zhu Cheng, saying, "Your belt is very old, just change to my one."

According to regulations, the things given by the emperor cannot be used directly, and they must be sent home for three incense sticks in the morning and evening. However, Zhu Cheng was from modern times, so he didn't know about this. He untied his belt and handed it to Wu Huping, asking him to keep it well, and directly brought the jade given by the emperor to tie it.

Wei Zhongxian was so excited that he was glad that the Donglin Party was beaten up in one go, otherwise this jade belt would be enough to have a slutty lawsuit for half a year.

"Brother Cheng, you are so majestic about this jade belt." Zhu Youjian sincerely praised.

"Brother, keep talking."

"That slut is used to being arrogant and wants to hit Brother Cheng. She didn't know that Brother Cheng was Jin Kewu Jieyuan, and was knocked to the ground with three punches and two kicks. Brother Cheng still stepped on her one foot, making her unable to move."

"Okay, give me another reward!"

After saying that, Emperor Tianqi took off his cloak and handed it to Zhu Cheng.

Wei Zhongxian hurriedly said, "Emperor, the five-clawed golden dragon is embroidered on his cloak, so he cannot reward his ministers."

He seemed to remind the emperor, but in fact he was reminding Zhu Cheng not to take the cloak, and even if he took the cloak, he should not put it on his body. Otherwise, if an old and scheming minister would be included in a book on the charge of usurpation, he might not even be able to protect him.

The emperor came to his senses, took back his cloak, and said, "It seems that you have done a lot of wonderful things today. If you reward them one by one, I will be naked. I'd better give them one by one."

Everyone laughed.

Hearing the laughter in the hall, the eunuch who was waiting for him, the palace maid was secretly frightened. When the lobby of the clan mansion was demolished, the emperor was not angry, and he rewarded him one by one. Zhu Cheng was really a fierce man.

"The Empress Dowager at first blamed Brother Cheng for beating people randomly. Later, Brother Cheng said that Madam Liang prevented the princess from meeting with the princess and deliberately made the princess have no queen. The Empress Dowager gave up. Later, the eunuch Zhao Jinchao wanted to suppress the people with power and rescue Madam Liang, but was discovered by Brother Cheng and fled in panic. Brother Cheng shot his leg with a gun, leaving him no way out. Later, he tied him and Madam Liang to a tree together."

"Good gun technique is indeed Wu Jieyuan I like, and he is decisive in the killing. He escaped by him. It is really hard to catch him. Reward... Uh, wait and give me a reward."

"Because the Empress Dowager was still a little suspicious, Brother Cheng invited his son-in-law Ran Xingrang to confront him. Unexpectedly, Ran Xingrang was almost crazy by Zhao Jinchao, and in anger he bit him to death. Brother Cheng saw that he and the princess and his wife had a deep affection, so he said that he would take on this matter."

"Okay, Brother Cheng is really loyal. I'll give you another reward... I'll wait for the reward."

"After my brother Cheng and I were arrested in the clan mansion, the King of Qin directly convicted Brother Cheng without asking any questions. He also said that he pretended to be a clan relative and sent more than 40 yamen runners to besiege us. Brother Cheng was quick to be ambushed and picked up the musket and fired a gun at it. The sound was so loud, and the house collapsed. Fortunately, we had seen the house collapse twice and had some experience, so we escaped."

Zhu Youjian spoke vividly, and he was a little scared when he heard Emperor Tianqi. If it weren't for his two younger brothers' cleverness, he would have buried them in the room, and the heavens and man were separated forever. This King of Qin, it doesn't matter if you are looking for death to live in a dangerous house, why should you drag down my two younger brothers?

Seeing that Emperor Tianqi was unhappy, Zhu Cheng quickly gave Qin a look: "As the saying goes, officials do not build yamen, and guests do not build shops. The King of Qin has a kind intention. It costs a lot of money to build yamen. It is better to save money, reward people, and win people's hearts. It is better to gain the reputation of a wise king."

What does a prince want such a good reputation? Isn’t it arousing the emperor’s suspicion? Zhu Cheng has already torn apart with the King of Qin, and now he is taking advantage of the situation and has no psychological burden at all.

Wei Zhongxian heard Zhu Cheng's meaning and said a few words to Emperor Tianqi. Emperor Tianqi sneered and said, "This relative of mine..."

Zhu Youjian did not understand the mystery in Zhu Cheng's words and asked another question: "Brother Emperor, is Brother Cheng the brother of A Jian?"

Emperor Tianqi was confused by Zhu Youjian's rap words and asked, "What's going on?"

"Didn't Emperor Shenzong Xian say that he would accept Zhu Cheng as his grandson and join the genealogy? Why did Zhu Cheng and I go to the clan mansion to check the genealogy, but we didn't find Zhu Cheng's name?" Zhu Youjian added fire and said the words of the King of Qin to Emperor Tianqi.

Emperor Tianqi's face turned pale and said furiously: "Does this King of Qin want to force me to withdraw his title of Venerable King, or do you want to destroy his nine clans?"
