Qian Ning saw an endless stream of people patrolling the streets downstairs, he rolled his eyes, and said to his subordinates: "Go downstairs for me, watch the door, and don't let anyone come up to disturb him", as soon as his subordinates left the private room, Qian Ning immediately knelt on the ground and said respectfully: "Minister Qian Ning see His Royal Highness the Prince!" ”

Zhu Houzhao sighed, raised his eyes to look at Yang Ling, Yang Ling shook his head slightly, Qian Ning said respectfully when he saw this: "Weichen once served as the commander of the palace guards, and I was fortunate to meet His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness said that Weifu is a private visit today, and the minister did not dare to break the identity of His Royal Highness, but now the city is full of arrests, Da Suo Jingshi, Weichen only has the identity of Lai Jinyiwei, and personally escorted His Highness back to the palace, which is to take the liberty of recognizing each other, please forgive Your Highness."

Zhu Houzhao suddenly heard this, he laughed and said: "Get up, I don't have those stinky rules, I didn't expect to beat a scoundrel, and it would lead to a scoundrel all over the city, you guy is also cunning, if not, you still have to pretend not to know me, right?" ”

Yang Ling also sighed at this time, and looked downstairs in amazement, knowing that he didn't want to go to the military department to retrieve the Zheng He sea chart today. Liu Jin whispered in his ear: "Don't worry about Yang Shi's reading, the chart has been in the military department for so many years, and it will be lost early, if it is not lost, it will not be bad at this moment, and it will be changed to find another opportunity to get it."

Yang Ling glanced at him in surprise. Liu Jin smiled and said: "The sea chart is a treasure left by Gonggong Zheng's painstaking efforts, this great scenery and the praise of all countries is the credit of our palace masters, and we are reluctant to destroy it?" ”。

Yang Ling was greatly surprised, looking at the comforting smile of Comrade Eunuch, his eyes couldn't help but moisten

Qian Ning took more than a dozen brocade guards to 'escort' them, and the various little ghosts, bulls and horses encountered along the way naturally did not dare to interrogate, and Zhu Houzhao smoothly returned to the East Palace from the back gate of the Forbidden City.

As soon as he returned to Chunfang to make a decision, he slapped the table heavily and said to Yang Ling: "This matter is a mess today, but I promised the girl, and there is no reason to lose my word." I sent a message, I want to return the documents for buying a concubine to her within three days, how do you think I can get the documents back? ”

Yang Ling frowned, he said a few words casually in order to leave Zhu Houzhao. Now it seems that Yan Kuan is the person of Shouning Hou at all, Zhang Heling can even take over the construction of the city in Badaling, and the relationship between the two is not ordinary, it is simply an official and businessman's family.

I'm afraid that I can't afford to pay a price that makes him tempted, and the prince will definitely not do such a reluctant thing. As for the oppression of official authority, long live the main palace today, look at the grandeur of people from all walks of life today, is this uncle easy to provoke? Unless Emperor Hongzhi personally comes forward, who can suppress him.

Yang Ling frowned and thought for a while, he really couldn't think of any ideas, he looked up at the eight genius trickster experts who were said to be able to come up with ideas to harm people in their dreams, and saw that eight pairs of eyes were also staring at him. Yang Ling smiled bitterly, and had to ponder: "That Yan Kuan is just a subordinate, and he shouldn't worry about it, but if Shou Ninghou is the main person to move him for him, he has to be softened by Shou Ninghou first."

Zhu Houzhao said: "Don't scruple, although Zhang Heling is the uncle of the country, his arrogance is really arrogant, if you can break his prestige, it is not bad, if you have any ideas, just say it."

Yang Ling groaned: "If you want to let Shouning Hou restrain himself, then only His Majesty is now." But if His Majesty wants to punish him, he must have enough evidence to make His Majesty angry."

Gu Dayong interjected after listening to this: "This is easy, just looking at his forcible occupation of the people's base, expanding the circle of streets, and privately granting projects is enough to join him, not to mention Shou Ninghou I'm afraid it's more than hehe!" ”

Liu Jin frowned and said: "With the credentials, there must be a competent person to present it to Your Majesty, if we come forward, Your Majesty will be suspicious, this matter."

Zhu Houzhao said impatiently: "Why is it so troublesome! It's really not good, taking advantage of these Beijing tests, the masters don't often come to see me, I take the time to go out of the palace and go directly to Uncle Guo to ask for it, I don't believe that he dares to offend me for a subordinate."

When Yang Ling heard the word Taifu, his eyes couldn't help but light up, and he hurriedly asked, "Your Highness, aren't these scholars used to teach you?" ”

Zhu Hou took a look at Gu Dayong, and Gu Dayong said: "From the Ming Dynasty, the three scholars took turns to explore the examination room, and the other two handled government affairs in the palace, so the original three scholars took turns to attend classes, but now it is changed to one scholar per class, and the time is reduced to one hour."

Yang Ling patted his thigh and said, "Okay, I have a way, which university scholar is on duty to teach?" This Gu Dayong is really a sure inquirer, the curriculum and the teacher arranged by the James Mansion for the prince are very familiar, and he said without thinking: "Ming said that it should be taught by Li Dongyang and Li Daxue."

Yang Ling smiled, attached to Zhu Houzhao's ear and muttered, Zhu Houzhao listened to it and said doubtfully: "Does this method really work?" ”

Yang Ling said with a smile: "If this plan is clever, the Marquis of Shouning can only lose the army to protect the commander, at that time, first, His Royal Highness does not have to lose his trust, second, that Yan Kuan is rude to the prince, he can be rectified so that he can not turn over, and third, he can also win the appreciation of several princes to His Royal Highness."

"Oh?" Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but perk up when he heard this, and said: "While it's still early, then you can do it quickly, and be sure to prepare everything for me before the arrival of Mrs. Li."

"Yes, Weichen obeys!" Yang Ling smiled and saluted, bowed slightly to the Eight Tigers, and retreated.

******************************

In the early morning of the next day, the morning sun had not risen. A car sedan car drove to a corner outside the noon gate, Yang Lingshan, who was waiting next to the corner door, got into the car, Qian Ning sat in the car and handed over a thick oil paper bag, and said with a smile: "Yesterday, I received an order from Lord Yang, and Qian Mou ordered to be busy all night, and finally made some gains, fortunately, not dishonored, hehe, this is what adults need, can you see if it can be used?" ”

Yang Ling said politely, sat side by side with him in the car, opened the oil paper bag and took out a thick stack of paper, opened the sedan curtain and hurriedly looked at it for a while by the light of the light and couldn't help but say: "Brother Qian, I only asked you to collect some collusion between officials and businessmen in Shouning, private projects and his embezzlement of people's interests, if the weight is really not enough, then just make up some small mistakes to increase the weight, but the material you made up even has a murder case, if Your Majesty really investigates, won't you lift a stone and smash your own feet?" ”

Qian Ning said with a smile: "I want to arrange some rights and wrongs, but it's a pity that I've been busy all night, and there are more than these real cases, but I don't have time to arrange Zhang Houye." There are witnesses and material evidence in these case files, and some of them are still registered by the bitter master in the yamen, but no one dares to deal with him. Rest assured, these materials are all copied by my subordinates, not the official letterhead of our Jinyiwei, and they will not lead the fire to us."

Yang Ling said in astonishment: "These are all true? ”

Qian Ning bowed his head and said, "It's all true!" He smiled faintly and said proudly: "No matter who it is, as long as our Jinyiwei wants to deal with him, there is no way to hide our secret, but Shou Ninghou has a big tree in the palace to enjoy the shade, these things may not be able to defeat him, adults must not care, don't trap yourself in."

Yang Ling nodded and said: "Brother Qian, don't worry, there are others charging into battle in this matter, hehe, I have to hurry into the palace, this time Brother Qian, I will inform His Highness of this intention."

Qian Ning's face overflowed with joy, and he hurriedly arched his hand and said: "Why do you have to say so much to your brother, there are many courtiers at the gate this afternoon, and it is inconvenient for me to show up, I am here to send off Lord Yang, I wish you a successful start and success!" ”

*********************************

"The son said: the king, the minister, the father, the son. That is to say, those who are kings must conform themselves to the way of kings, those who are ministers must conform to the way of ministers, those who are fathers must conform to the way of their fathers, and those who are sons must conform to the way of their sons." Li Dongyang said and glanced at the prince with satisfaction. Today, the prince is very obedient, and he is sitting in the back of the case, and he seems to be listening very attentively, which makes Li Dongyang feel very relieved.

He smiled and said, "The Lord rewards what he loves and punishes what he does evil; This is not the case with the Lord, the reward will be added to the meritorious, and the punishment will be judged by the guilty. Those who are good at serving the country will consolidate their authority internally and value their power externally. In this way, the enemy will conquer the country, and you will not dare not listen."

He picked up a cup of tea, moistened his throat, and was about to explain in detail, but he heard the prince say: "Taifu, those who are clear about the Lord should be rewarded and punished clearly, but if the guilty person is a close minister of the Son of Heaven or even a relative of the clan, can he open the net?" ”

Li Dongyang said with a straight face: "No, the prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people, why not?" The king is not the head of the family, but the head of a country, and the whole country is the people of the whole country, so how can there be a distinction between far and near? The Lord is a saint and a sage, and the blessing of the world is also; The monarch is loyal and loyal, and the blessing of the country is also; If it is evil to condone favoritism to close ministers, it is not the blessing of the state."

Yang Ling coughed, Zhu Houzhao took out a paper bag from under the case, and said with a long sigh: "What the Taifu taught is that today Yang Shiyu entered the palace and found a package outside the palace gate, and the things inside were actually evidence of exposing the crime of Zhang Heling's connivance with his family and causing trouble to his neighbors. Alas! After reading it, I originally thought that Zhang Heling was my maternal uncle, and I wanted to put it down and not mention it, but after listening to the teachings of the Taifu, I felt deeply guilty.

Li Dongyang listened and said, "What is the evidence of the crime?" Can the prince give the minister a look? ”

Zhu Houzhao handed over the paper bag, shook his head and said ashamedly: "On one side is my maternal uncle, and on the other side is the people of Li who have been bullied and have no way to complain, although I can't bear to know my father and hurt my own harmony, but I can't bear to ignore the lesson of the Taifu."

Li Dongyang hurriedly looked at the stack of accusations against Zhang Heling, the Marquis of Shouning, and after only a few glances, he was already so angry that he couldn't help himself, and he said angrily: "The princes and nobles are so unscrupulous and unscrupulous in embezzling the people's interests. Your Highness don't feel guilty, you have done a good job, monarch, Zhouye; Those who are familiar with the people, the water is also. The people of heaven are not kings; The ruler of heaven thinks that the people are also. His Royal Highness can care for the people of Li, which is the blessing of the community. ”

He glanced at Yang Ling again, and said meaningfully: "Hou Shouning's behavior has caused the people of Li to complain and have no way to ask for help, so some people do this helpless act. Your Highness, please accompany His Highness to review his homework first, and the old minister wants to leave for a while, check it first, if the situation is true, the old minister will definitely report to the saint."

Yang Ling frowned when he heard this, listening to the words of this old man, he obviously didn't necessarily believe the reason he picked up on the way into the palace, but this person was jealous and hateful, and he still refused to sit idly by knowing that he was being used, since the cases that Qian Ning took were true, he was not afraid of him to verify.

Li Dongyang said goodbye and left, on this day, Zhu Houzhao was much more well-behaved than before, but he just stayed in the spring square and talked with Yang Ling, not daring to play around anymore. Li Dongyang hurried back to the palace, and immediately ordered the Yamen to investigate and report, many of these cases were registered in the yamen, but they were delayed and prevaricated and have not been dealt with, so naturally it will be accurate as soon as it is checked, but it is just a little more than an hour, and it has been verified seven or eight times out of ten, Li Dongyang couldn't help but be furious when he heard those heinous crimes, and immediately picked up the pen and wrote ten thousand words, and then flicked the sleeves of his robe and went straight to the Wu Dynasty.

In the East Palace, Zhu Houzhao listened to Yang Ling's talk about the customs of various countries, and opened his eyes, and when he was listening to it with relish, Gu Dayong outside suddenly screamed: "Ouch, Your Royal Highnesses the two princesses, why did you two come to the East Palace?" ”

I only heard a delicate girl's voice say, "What about the prince?" Take me to him."

Gu Da said with food: "Your Royal Highness the princess, the prince is studying class, you see."

Another innocent girl's voice said: "Hmph, are you playing with the prince's brother with some cockfighting tricks and dog training tricks?" Sister, let's go in by ourselves."

Zhu Houzhao said "ah": "Yongfu and Yongchun are here, you go behind the screen to take refuge, there are many stinky rules in the palace, you can't see them casually."

Yang Ling heard this, and hurriedly got up and flashed behind the screen behind the mahogany antique shelf, only to hear Zhu Houzhao raise his voice: "Dayong, please invite the two princesses in."

Then a girl's voice smiled: "Strange, strange, today the imperial brother actually sat here upright, without some cats and dogs juggling, could it be that he changed his surname?" ”
