Forbidden City, Yangxin Hall.

After sending Wei Zhongxian away, the emperor asked Yue Su to explain his experience in making sofas. Yue Su did not hold anything back and taught him all his experience. Zhu Youxiao listened with great interest and praised him repeatedly.

After dinner, the emperor was about to start working. As soon as he picked up the saw, he suddenly remembered something. He said: "Yue Aiqing, I suddenly remembered something. Not long ago, Mrs. Fengsheng presided over Pusheng Zen Master on behalf of Tantuo Temple.

Asking for a reward, he hoped that I would give him a wooden vessel. I agreed at that time, but after thinking about it for a long time, I could not figure out what kind of wooden vessel to make, which would not only suit my dignity but also be suitable for temple worship. Aiqing is well-informed and can

You can't make plans for me."

Of course, the best thing to give to a temple is a Buddha statue. But if you want to be worshiped by all people, it must be a big one. Looking at the world, there is no such big piece of wood, so the emperor was in a dilemma and never took action.

Yue Su never burns incense and worships Buddha. In his two lifetimes, he has never entered a temple. He really doesn’t know what kind of things are suitable for temple worship. In desperation, he smiled and said: "I will tell you the truth, Your Majesty.

I never burn incense and worship Buddha, I don’t even know where to open the temple door, and I really can’t think of any suitable wooden utensils.”

After hearing this, I didn't expect that Zhu Youxiao was not only unhappy, but also laughed with satisfaction, "Aiqing really has the same temperament as me. I don't like Lao Shizi burning incense and worshiping Buddha. How can it be fun to make wooden utensils? If it weren't for guest milk

If you like it, how can you appoint the abbot of any temple as Pusheng Zen Master? But I have already promised to be a guest, and the so-called joke about you must not be ignored. I love you so much, so I will wrong you. Go to Tantuo Temple for me to have a look and think about it.

What kind of wooden utensils were made to combine them."

"I obey the decree."

After another conversation with Zhu Youxiao and help cutting a few pieces of wood, Yue Su took his leave and left the palace.

Outside the Yangxin Hall, there were eunuchs watching all the time. When they saw Yue Su leaving, they immediately went to report to Wei Zhongxian. Wei Zhongxian had just returned to the palace at this time, holding a large stack of memorials in his hand. When he heard that Yue Su had left, he immediately rushed there

See you at Yangxin Hall.

When he saw the emperor, he first bowed to say hello, then took out the memorial to impeach Luo Sigong, began to criticize Luo Sigong, and defended Xu Xianchun, saying that he was commissioned by Luo Sigong and then accidentally broke into Shuntian Mansion.

Zhu Carpenter was so busy at work now that he had no time to listen to his plain talk, but he was not confused and said directly: "Don't you see that I am busy? You can make up your mind about Luo Sigong. As for Xu Xianchun, this kind of clueless person

What's the use of keeping a brainless thing? Let him go home and take care of the child. Okay, back off."

Wei Zhongxian was extremely happy to be able to get the right to deal with Luo Sigong. Compared with this matter, Xu Xianchun's dismissal was not a big deal. He could choose an opportunity in the future to revive him. Wei Zhongxian said with a smile: "I obey the order. It's just,

Today there are two memorials to impeach Yin Yuesu of Shuntian Prefecture, saying that he is a treacherous villain who invites favors and favors without authorization..."

As soon as he heard Wei Zhongxian say that someone was impeaching Yue Su, before Wei Zhongxian could finish explaining the charges against him, the Carpenter Emperor became angry and said angrily: "These villains just can't bear to see that I can live a comfortable life for two days. It's not easy for Yue Su to be impeached."

Su was accompanying me to relieve my boredom, and they were jumping up and down again. Wei Qing, if anyone dares to impeach Yue Su in the future, he will be dismissed from his post and investigated. Who impeached Yue Su today, and we have drafted a decree to tell them to go home."

"Yes, I obey the order." Wei Zhongxian quickly bowed and retreated.

After leaving the Yangxin Hall, cold sweat broke out on Wei Zhongxian's back. He thought to himself, His Majesty really favored Yue Su more than anyone else. He must not offend him in the future.

Then he was congratulating himself. Fortunately, he didn't use his own words to impeach him, but found two scapegoats. You two, I'm sorry, go home.

All the way back to the Supervisor of Ceremonies, Wei Zhongxian's mood gradually changed from fear to joy. For him, although Yue Su was favored, he was just a person with so much power. And his biggest enemy was the chief assistant Ye Su.

Although the current strength of the Donglin Party members led by Xiang Gao is shocking, with Yue Su, everything seems to be much easier.

The Donglin Party members always regarded themselves as gentlemen and could not bear to see evil villains. From time to time, they would play a part in the performance and ask the emperor to be diligent in government affairs and stay away from carpentry. They would also say some great things about hard work and merit, which made His Majesty angry.

At the moment, as long as he manipulates it and makes the Donglin Party turn around and attack Yue Su, he can take the opportunity to eliminate the Donglin Party members in one fell swoop with the emperor's decree in hand.

The more I thought about it, the happier I became. When I returned to the Supervisor of Ceremonies, I immediately drafted an edict to remove Luo Sigong and Xu Xianchun from their posts. They also had Zhou Bucheng and the others abandoned the city and beheaded. They also drafted a chapter recommending Hou Guoxing to take over as the commander-in-chief of the Jinyi Guards. Two of them

Those who impeach Yue Su will naturally not escape the fate of going home, but Wei Zhongxian added a paragraph at the end of the imperial edict, "Anyone who dares to impeach Yue Su in the future will be dealt with accordingly."

As soon as this decree was issued, it immediately caused an uproar. The people in the court were impassioned and scolded Yue Su one after another. In private, they could not scold Yue Su for being a flatterer and a traitor to the country. There were also the bold ones like Uemoto Ginseng. Unfortunately, what happened to them was their fate.

They were all the same, dismissed from their posts and returned home. Most of these memorials were never seen by the emperor, and it was Eunuch Wei who drafted the decrees on his behalf.

Now let’s clean up those clean streams first, then the Donglin Party, and finally you, Yue Su.

Yue Su's reputation plummeted in the court, but he was praised among the people. The reason is very simple. Three bad guys, Zhou Bucheng, Zeng Youcai, and Zeng Youlu, were beheaded. The people of Daxing County spread the name of Yue Su everywhere,

He said that Hai Rui was reincarnated.

Following the order, Zhou Bucheng and three others were executed. That afternoon, Yue Su went to Tantuo Temple incognito in front of Jin Chan, Tie Qiu and Li Haoran.

Along the way, Yue Su was thinking whether he was right or wrong in teaching the emperor carpentry.

I remember that in his previous life, his master always warned him that he should behave upright and sit upright. He also strictly abided by this code of conduct and became a policeman to uphold justice. When he was reborn in the Ming Dynasty, he still did not forget his master's teachings.

Starting from justice, eradicating violence and fighting crime. Now, through hard work, I have been promoted to the governor of Shuntian Prefecture. Do I have to curry favor with the emperor if I want to serve the people?

His level of history is not very high. He has not heard of the Carpenter Emperor, but he still knows the name of Wei Zhongxian, who is nine thousand years old and a famous eunuch in Chinese history. Wei Zhongxian brutalized Zhongliang and killed many good people. If he did not rely on the emperor, he would probably

There is no way to escape Wei Zhongxian's butcher's knife.

Corrupt officials are traitors, and honest officials must be even more traitorous. Otherwise, how can I fight against those corrupt officials? I, Yue Su, rely on the emperor and please the emperor, in fact, to uphold justice, hoe the strong and help the weak. If some officials scold me, it does not matter, as long as the people of the world praise me, Yue Su

, that is enough. I must get rid of the traitors in the court one by one and restore a peaceful world to the people.

With this determination, Yue Su no longer hesitated.

Tantuo Temple is located at the foot of Tantuo Mountain, twenty miles outside the West City. Since we set off in the afternoon, it was already evening when we arrived. Yue Su thought to himself that it was already late now, so why not find someone to stay overnight and get up early tomorrow?

Temple. Anyway, I have already asked for leave from the emperor, so I am not afraid of missing the morning meeting.

There is a village outside the foothills of Tantuo Mountain called Wangjiazhuang. When I went to the village and inquired about it, I was told that the king of our village was very hospitable and willing to do good.

He stayed at his house temporarily and did not entertain me attentively.

Yue Sushi didn't expect that there was such a person, so he went to his house to stay overnight. After asking about Wang Yuan's wife's house, he went to the door and asked Jin Chan to knock on the door. After a while, the door of the house opened and a small boy

The guy came out.

"Excuse me, is this Wang Yuan's residence?" Jin Chan said politely.

"Exactly. I wonder what you want to do with my master?"

"We are believers going to Tantuo Temple to offer incense. We were on our way in the afternoon and it was getting late here. We wanted to find a place to stay. I heard that Mr. Wang is a local good man and is very hospitable. I came here to join him. I wonder if I can do something.

Let me stay overnight." Yue Su took a step forward and said politely.

"If you want to go to Tantuo Temple to offer incense, I advise you not to go. It's so filthy and not a good place for Buddhism at all. I'm afraid you'll regret it after you get there." When the boy heard that Yue Su said he wanted to go to Tantuo Temple,

A look of indignation immediately appeared on his face, and after saying that, he was about to close the door.

Yue Su hurriedly rushed forward, stretched out his hand to block the door, and said: "This little brother, how can you say that? I heard that Tantuo Temple is a holy place for Buddhism, and there is also an eminent monk. The emperor even ordered him to be conferred a special title.

I am Zen Master Pusheng. I hope you will explain why this thousand-year-old temple has become a place of filth. Our master and servant are foreigners. We have heard the name of Tantuo Temple for a long time, so we traveled thousands of miles away.

Come on, I can’t go back just because of your words.”

The boy realized that Yue Su did not have a Beijing accent, so he sighed and said, "Since I am a guest from out of town, I might as well tell you directly. This Tantuo Temple was originally a quiet place for Buddhism, but since it was granted the title by the emperor,

But everything has changed. Not only is the filth there, but the monks are also drunkards. The most detestable thing is that they rob men and dominate women, intimidate believers to give alms, and if they don't give money, they kill people and set fires. They do it often.

It's a kidnapping business, extorting money from people. You said, who would dare to go to a temple like this to offer incense and worship?"

Yue Su nodded slightly and said: "Little brother, are you just spreading rumors and slandering Tantuo Temple? After all, Tantuo Temple is a thousand-year-old temple. How can it ruin its reputation like this? What evidence do you have for saying this?"

"Why not?" the young man said indignantly: "The Dharmajue, the abbot of Tantuo Temple, also heard from some source that my wife, who was the successor of my family member, was young and beautiful. He actually came to the door with the imperial edict and asked my master to donate five thousand.

Two taels of silver, and asked the whole family to go to the temple to pay homage. If the family refused, they would sue a member of the family for disrespecting the emperor. My family members did not dare to disobey, so they immediately took out 5,000 taels of silver and donated it to the temple, and took the whole family to the temple the next day.

Who would have thought that it was a plan set up by Dharmajue Baldlu. When he went to the temple to burn incense, he deliberately separated my wife alone and disappeared from sight. My family asked for it, but the evil monk said that the members were making trouble and slandered Buddhism.

The Holy Land kicked us all out. Yuan Wai was so angry that he went to Shuntian Prefecture to file a complaint. Not only did Master Fu Yin ignore the lawsuit, but he also said that Yuan Wai had spread rumors to cause trouble and slandered the canonized monk. He was slapped in court and sent to prison.

The family spent two thousand taels of silver to bail him out. Since then, my family members have been sick in bed and haven't gotten up." At the end of the sentence, the boy gritted his teeth.

Hearing this, Yue Su was also angry in his heart. After thinking for a moment, he said: "Little brother, although I am a pilgrim from out of town to burn incense, I am also a famous doctor. I wonder if you can let me in and give the order to the outside."
