"The emperor has named you a mighty marquis, but you don't live up to the word mighty, driving the Tatars to the north, so that Boyan and the fire sieve will flee so fiercely; Dongjing and the Japanese, grace and power are caressed, and the hundred years of suffering are once peaceful; The south descended to the west, and the Manraka was recovered, and all the countries were daunted, very good, very good! ”

A smile bloomed on the face of the King of Shu, as if he admired Yang Ling's martial arts very much, and he shook his head again and again as he spoke. Seeing this, the civil and military officials next to him had to pat their horses again. There was a buzzing sound in the quiet hall, like a swarm of flies lingering.

Yang Ling didn't care, and said with a faint smile: "Thank you for the praise, this is all the soldier's life, the government and the opposition are single-minded, and the emperor is wise." When Benhou borrowed troops, the Sichuan army was brave and good at fighting, and he also made great contributions when he cleared out the Japanese invaders. The prince is the lord of Bashu, and the marquis has to thank the prince."

Yang Ling thanked him and secretly slandered: "I came here today to see how the King of Shu reacted to the news I deliberately revealed, this is good, he was stunned as if he was nothing, and he didn't say a word about Bashu, and he talked about the world with me, and he was all here today."

False words, you praise me, I praise you, what do I have to talk about with him? Although Yun'er and Adney are not there, even watching Xiao Wu and Xiao Ai chat and fart is better than sitting here! I still can't hold my breath, if I come to Chengdu and don't go out, I'm afraid he can't figure out my details, but to be anxious, could it be that I came to visit him as soon as I arrived in Chengdu, and I was too urgent, so that he could see that I didn't have any hole cards in my heart? ”

Yang Ling was secretly thinking, and the King of Shu had already changed his words: "The mighty Marquis is not only an outstanding general of my Ming Dynasty, but also seems to have a special experience in civil affairs. King Gu heard that you have traveled all the way and are promoting the introduction of Western crops to the political envoys along the province? ”

Yang Ling saw that his face was pale and gray, and he looked listless, but he seemed to be very concerned about this, and said busily: "Yes, these crops have been successfully planted in Shaanxi, Hunan and Beijing, these crops are drought tolerant and insect pest-resistant, and they can be planted everywhere, do not occupy fertile land, and by extension, it is of great benefit to farming." ”

The King of Shu smiled and said, "This lonely king has already heard about it. Shaanxi has suffered a severe drought this year, but these crops have been harvested very well. Shu is mountainous, some places are not suitable for farming, the people live in poverty, the lonely king has sent the royal housekeeper to Shaanxi to buy grain seeds, hire a master who knows how to farm, next year Bashu will also be widely planted in the barren land, sand ridge land."

When Yang Ling heard this, he said happily: "The prince is far-sighted, and Benhou admires it." This time he came to Sichuan, Ben Hou also brought peppers, tomatoes and other condiments and vegetable seeds, which were handed over to An Daren yesterday, and I believe that once these things are harvested, they will be welcomed by the people of Bashu. ”

He is very sure of this, and often says: Sichuan people are not afraid of spicy, Hunan people are not afraid of spicy, and Guizhou people are afraid of spicy. It seems that chili peppers are either suitable for cultivation in these places or suitable for the taste of the people in these regions, so once they were introduced to China, they were carried forward in these areas.

An Wentao also said happily: "His Royal Highness the King of Shu is the most important farming, and the household department in Nanjing can't allocate the silver, so the prince will take out a large amount of silver from the income of the palace to build water conservancy and encourage Tuntian, and spare no effort to build bridges and pave roads and open folk schools." Today, the cultivated land of Bashu reaches 100,000 hectares, and the annual output of salt wells is 30 million catties, which is three times that of the beginning of the founding of the country. Now the Shu people are self-sufficient, comfortable and happy, and they no longer have to buy Jieyan (Shanxi's salt) at a high price, and the Shu Wangfu has made great contributions."

Yang Ling somewhat understands some of the situation in Sichuan, knowing that Sichuan's silver, iron, tea and porcelain production is also very rich, and the reputation of Shu brocade is not weaker than that of Suzhou embroidery, which is naturally not all the work of the king of Shu, and it is not the work of the contemporary king of Shu, but the king of Shu has always enjoyed transcendent power as the supreme ruler of Bashu, without their support, it is indeed impossible to develop so fast, and he can't help but say yes.

"Alas, this is not the work of this king, this king is just adhering to the legacy of the previous kings, attaching importance to farming and treating the people well, and the specific things are still being done by the Shu government and the people. Hehehe, this king is neither perfect nor all-rounder, how can the lonely king do so many things, he can't take credit indiscriminately."

An Wentao only said yes, but the smile on his face was very relaxed, obviously taking this as the politeness of the King of Shu, and he didn't take it too seriously. The King of Shu glanced at Yang Ling deeply and said: "The mighty Marquis is not only a military officer, but also a civil administration, and he was once a prince attendant, such a person can be regarded as a civil and military all-rounder." ”

Yang Ling hurriedly bowed and said: "The prince has a reputation, Benhou doesn't dare to be, I really don't dare to be."

The King of Shu smiled and said: "The mighty Hou Gong is in Sheji, and it is obvious to all, so there is no need to be too humble." However, this king has a word in his heart, he is really not unhappy, it is rare to see the mighty marquis, the lonely king wants to persuade him as an elder, and the mighty marquis is willing to listen? ”

Yang Ling was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "Lord Wang, please speak, Yang Ling listens."

The King of Shu frowned slightly and said: "The mighty Marquis drove out the four Yi by force, cared about the development of farming, made great achievements in war, and made outstanding political achievements, and the Lone King appreciated it very much." But Hou Ye is too young in the end, and he can't help but like to rush for quick success and quick profit, and some things affect the overall situation, so he should be cautious, and Hou Ye is a little underwhelmed."

As soon as these words came out, the hall was suddenly silent, and the atmosphere began to be tense. The king of Shu is the uncle of today's emperor, the supreme leader of Bashu, and his prestige is grand, and he is the first virtuous king in the world. It is not rude for him to reprimand any minister of the first or second grade, and no one will dare to contradict it.

But who is Yang Ling? Although he did not come to visit the King of Shu under the banner of Qincha, he was a real minister of Qincha. The prince reads, and has the merit of being supported by the dragon; The Son of Heaven is a close minister, and he and the emperor in Datong to defend against a strong enemy; The deputy marshal of the commanders of the four armies outside the Beijing Division, and the commander who fished for three days and dried the nets for two days was Emperor Zhengde himself.

Looking at today, except for Liu Jin, the prime minister of the inner court, which minister of the DPRK and China is not three points shorter when he sees him? Such a person under one person and above 10,000 people, although his status is not as good as that of the King of Shu, but the distance between people and the emperor is much closer than your uncle who has not directly dealt with the emperor for more than 100 years.

An Wentao had even prepared the draft for the performance and publicity to the market: today the sun is shining and the sky is cloudless. His Royal Highness Zhu Binhan, King of Shu, cordially met with Lord Yang Ling, the minister of Qincha, the mighty marquis, and the general of the Dragon and Tiger of the Zhu Kingdom, in Qingyang Palace.

The meeting was held in a peaceful, warm, and friendly atmosphere, and in line with the purpose of mutual understanding and seeking common ground while reserving differences, the two sides exchanged views on the military situation, agricultural development, and other issues. That night, His Royal Highness Zhu Binhan set up a dinner in the Doumu Palace to entertain Qin Cha and his party, and the banquet was full of the two people touting each other, and it was interesting to take meat and hemp, isn't it a good chat, what's wrong with the King of Shu? The officials looked at each other and did not dare to say much. Li Sen's shrewd eyes flashed, and then he returned to his reckless and stunned expression, and sat there stupidly.

An Wentao, the political envoy, panicked, and hurriedly went to see Zhu Rangjin, who was also at a loss: Isn't his father afraid that Yang Ling will cause trouble in Sichuan? Today's meeting was originally a visit with a courtesy surname, isn't it over if you send him away with enough face, Father, this is the one that is played?

In fact, the King of Shu really did not mean to embarrass Yang Ling, Yang Ling vigorously promoted farming, which was deeply appreciated by the King of Shu, who has always adhered to the concept of food as the sky and farming as the foundation of the world, and at the same time made him very admired Yang Ling's achievements in publicizing the majesty of the Ming Dynasty and subduing the four Yi by force.

However, due to Yang Ling's reasons, Geng Zhong's old ministers, who were highly respected by the king of Shu such as Liu Jian and Xie Qian, were expelled from the court one by one, which greatly reduced Zhu Binhan's good impression of Yang Ling, coupled with some policies advocated by Yang Ling, the king of Shu also felt that he was too radical, so he thought that although this person was talented and learned, he was frivolous Meng Lang and rejoiced in his achievements.

Seeing that Yang Ling was humble and polite, the king of Shu had a different impression of him, and he had a sense of love for a while. The so-called deep love and hatred, he changed his original intention and wanted to mention something to Yang Ling.

Yang Ling was also a little surprised, this was the king of Shu accusing himself of making a mistake in his policy. The King of Shu is known as a virtuous person, and seeing that he has indeed made a difference in governing Shu, could it be that he has indeed made mistakes in his political views? Yang Ling hurriedly bowed and said, "Please teach the prince, what do you mean?" ”

The King of Shu took the tea handed by Zhu Rangjian, took a sip and handed it back, waved his hand gently, and said: "For example, you proposed to open the tea and horse market in the north, so as to alleviate the contradiction with Duoyan Sanwei and the Jurchens, and hold the Tatar tribes hostage, killing two birds with one stone, and the Lone King appreciates it very much."

But opening the sea to lift the ban and traffic to all countries, it is not very appropriate for the lone king to feel. I heard that the king also suggested that you also propose to change the system of guarding the tuntian set by the Hongwu Dynasty and change it to a conscription system, which is simply grandstanding and pure child's play. ”

The hall was silent for a while, and everyone quietly watched Yang Ling's reaction. This young first minister of the Zhengde Dynasty used thunderous means to collapse the inner court and Dongchang, and forced Liu Jian and Xie Qian away with both soft and hard methods, such a strong and soft character, in the face of the accusation of the king of Shu, is he angry or temporarily forbearing?

Unexpectedly, Yang Ling actually smiled, a very helpless smile. He sighed softly and asked helplessly: "Then what does the prince think about the low combat strength of the Ming army and the financial embarrassment?" ”

In the forest behind the Qingyang Palace, a vigorous figure flashed in, using the cover of dwarf trees and flowers, and quietly hid into the residence of the King of Shu. Chengdu under the rule of the king of Shu has always been peaceful, the palace guards in charge of the guard Tianchang said that it was inevitable to relax for a long time, and now it is said that the Qin sent to visit, and the guards have doubled, and this time the vigilance is even worse.

The figure didn't have to inquire about the residence of the King of Shu, there were the most guards around the main hall, and there were guards with guns and swords in front and back, obviously the King of Shu lived in this Taoist temple. The guards in the Qingyang Palace were ordinary, and it was difficult to find that person dodging and approaching quietly, but there were no trees around the hall to hide, so that person could not get close.

The man was covered with a green scarf, revealing only a pair of shining eyes, and looked around cautiously. This person is none other than Li Dayi, the second young master of the Maitreya Sect, who just wants to sneak in today to see if there is an opportunity to take advantage of it, and at the same time to know more about Yang Ling, so that he can know better.

With so many officers and soldiers, even if there is no first-class master who has met in the bamboo forest, no matter how high his personal martial arts are, he will not be able to break in, so as soon as he saw this posture, Li Dayi dispelled the idea of assassination, he shrunk his body to the smallest, and escaped into a bush with small white flowers, as long as he squatted in it and did not move, even if the guards passed by the flowers, it was difficult to find the figure under the lush branches and leaves.

In the palace, the excited King of Shu floated a sickly red tide on his pale cheeks, and he took a long breath before he said: "Therefore, the lonely king thinks that my Heavenly Empire has a lot of land and resources, as long as I value agriculture and suppress business, I can be self-sufficient, why do I need to associate with barbarians?" Barbarians do not seek the right way, do not abide by the royal road, and are curious about skills and ingenuity. The frivolous and extravagant style in the south of the Yangtze River is already prosperous, and this time it will inevitably become even worse, the people will think of evil, and turmoil will arise."

Zhu Binhan sighed and said leisurely: "If the people are allowed to live in their houses, cultivate their fields, hear the voices of chickens and dogs, and be everywhere in the paradise, what kind of Qingming world should it be?" If you advocate commerce, don't you know that there are many businessmen, which will inevitably corrupt people's hearts, and greed for profit will cause more fraud among the people. Shang Jia Xing will bring disaster to the country and disrupt the government, what other benefits can it be? ”

An Wentao, Lu Zheng and other officials nodded again and again, thinking deeply. Li Sen rolled his eyes, he came from Shandong, although it is much poorer than Bashu, but it leads to Liaodong in the north, Jingshi in the west, the sea in the east, and Jiangsu in the south.

The king of Shu was puzzled and said: "You said that the transportation of all countries, the import of gold and silver as capital, the gold and iron things, can neither be clothed, nor eaten, even if they are piled up like a mountain, how can they be as full as a warehouse?" The cangli is full and the people are at ease, and the people are at peace and then they know the etiquette and know the honor and disgrace. There are fifteen Tusi in Bashu, and there is no currency in their tribe as a proof of buying and selling, bartering, seeing is believing, and the people are simple and less fraudulent, isn't this good? ”

Yang Ling Moran: This prince's thinking is still at the level of the tribal jungle chief in ancient times, how can I understand it with him?

When the King of Shu saw that Yang Ling was silent, he thought that he was speechless, so he continued to say: "Emperor Hongwu guards the tuntian and raises millions of soldiers without spending a penny of the imperial court, how wise is this?" Each family bears the tax service in kind, just like everyone gathers firewood, but if there is a need, it can be done in an instant. You see that in the past year, when Nanjing City was built, Taizu gave an order, and the whole country burned bricks and tiles to transport the Beijing division, and worked together, what could not be done? You recruit troops, start business, change taxes in kind to silver, cough cough cough cough".

Seeing this, Zhu Rangjin hurriedly stepped forward and patted his father on the back, and persuaded softly: "Father is angry, father is angry, and his body is important." As he spoke, he glanced at Yang Ling helplessly, with a helpless wry smile on his lips.

The idea of the King of Shu is somewhat similar to that of Zhu Yuanzhang at the beginning, insisting on retro, hoping to limit the people to the land, have enough food and clothing, be content with the status quo, and do not communicate with the barbarians, and the country will always be calm like a pool of well water, which is not realistic at all, and Zhu Rangjin does not dare to agree with this. But the son didn't say anything about his father, and although Zhu Rangjin didn't agree, he didn't dare to express it, and he went against his father.

Yang Ling also gave him a wry smile, he wanted to observe his words and feelings today and explore the reaction of the King of Shu to his intentions, but unexpectedly, in front of the civil and military officials of Shu, the King of Shu came to criticize his policy.

The stumbling blocks in the court were kicked away by him one by one, but from the reaction and understanding of the King of Shu, it can be seen that the local officials who hold on to the defects and are self-contained are actually overflowing with dregs, and they don't know how many, and many of them still have the names of virtuous kings and Qing officials.

Seeing that the policy of first changing Jiangnan and gradually infiltrating the interior is right, it must be carried out gently, gradually change unconsciously, and let the open and wealthy areas change first.

There is still a long way to go! The King of Shu is just a big landlord who clings to his old ideas. The largest landlord in Shu, a representative of the old-fashioned and conservative landlord class.

Yang Ling shook his head and sighed: "Lord Wang, raising soldiers in Tuntian, farming and soldiers, cultivating and feeding yourself?" What kind of millions of soldiers, after a hundred years, the millions of lions in the past have become a million croppers, and the combat effectiveness of the officers and soldiers of the guard station is declining, which is obvious to all.

This time, if it were not for the elite soldiers to lead the mediocre soldiers, the cool legal army, and the officers and soldiers of the land where the people were fierce and good at fighting went to the south of the Yangtze River, and the Japanese had no support from the people in our Ming Dynasty, and the back road was cut off by the country, and I don't know how long it will take to resist until it will be finished.

Ben Hou is worried that the guards are unwilling to be soldiers, and there are often deserters in ordinary times, and after so many years, Tuntian has been occupied and annexed by officers and wealthy people, and the Tuntian system exists in name only, if you do not follow the example of the border army at this time, and implement the method of recruiting troops as soon as possible, such a military morale will still be vulnerable once there is a war in the future. ”

When he saw that the king of Shu was about to speak, he hurriedly said: "Also, the use of cash silver to pay taxes and completely abandon taxes in kind and the forced labor borne by each family can liberate craftsmen and liberate the land from the shackles of farmers, and provide convenience for commerce and large workshops." The prince relished the grand occasion in the past when he made a move and the whole country responded to it, and when he remembered that it was indeed a lively scene, the blood of the people watching it was boiling."

"But", Yang Ling smiled bitterly: "Huhu Village digs kilns and supports furnaces, burns bricks and tiles and sends them to Nanjing, how much does this duplicate cost cost?" How much manpower do you get? Wouldn't it be faster and cheaper to build a few large-scale brick-burning workshops near Nanjing, even if only one-tenth of the cost is used? ”

The king of Shu couldn't help but be dumbfounded when he heard this, he paused for a moment, and said angrily: "You are in a hurry for quick success, trying to gain for a while, but you have damaged the foundation of the court, so that the people are profit-seeking, and the people's hearts are not aligned, and sooner or later there will be a big mess!" That's it, this king sees that you are a malleable material, so he is good at persuading, but you are obsessed. The major affairs of the court, this king can't do it, but as long as the king is alive for a day, this Bashu land can't be brought by you, I can't let you ruin this paradise, a pure land! ”

As soon as the words 'Pure Land' of the King of Shu came out, someone outside shouted: "There are assassins, there are assassins!" Be on guard and protect the king! ”

Then the armor sounded in a daze, and more than a dozen armored warriors rushed in, and when they saw that the hall was quiet as usual, they put their minds at ease and led the samurai to shout: "Protect the temple door and window lattice, anyone who dares not to be summoned to break in will be killed!" ”

After speaking, he walked to the king of Shu and knelt down on one knee, and said respectfully: "Lord Wang, there is a sudden scratch in the area of the Emperor's Pole Hall of the Dou Mu Palace, the reason is unknown, the last general has surrounded this Qingxin Pavilion, so he will send someone to investigate."

Chengdu City has always been peaceful, the king of Shu is deeply loved by the people, he used to be in good health, occasionally will wear green robes, walk in the market and have fun with the people, no one has ever tried to assassinate the local lord, but now in front of the Jingcha, but the assassins came, but it can't help but give people the feeling that the Shu realm is not peaceful.

The King of Shu couldn't hold back his face, and shouted hesitantly: "What a fuss, what assassin is you shouting for unknown reasons?" Go find out and report it quickly."

As he was talking, there was a conversation of guards at the gate of the hall, and someone shouted: "Don't be surprised, don't be surprised, it's a pure misunderstanding." It was not the Assassin who jumped on the ridge of the temple, but I heard that it was the commander of the guard of Lord Chincha, or a lieutenant of the cavalry."

As soon as the king of Shu described Sichuan as a paradise, boasting like a flower, there was a big mistake, Yang Ling was watching the excitement with a smile, and when he heard this, he couldn't sit still. Isn't that Wu Hanchao!

He hurriedly got up and said with an embarrassed expression: "Lord Wang, this person seems to be a subordinate of Benhou, I will go to see it now, disturb the prince, please forgive the prince!" ”

When the King of Shu heard this, he let out a long breath, he snorted heavily, and without saying a word, Yang Ling arched his hand in a daze, and hurriedly rushed out. An Wentao, the political envoy, also hurriedly bowed his hand and said: "The prince will rest for a while, and the lower officials will also go to have a look."

Li Dayi hid under the bushes, and suddenly saw Yang Ling appear from between the leaves, and his fingers subconsciously touched the flying knife on his waist. Yang Ling's guards and some middle- and low-level accompanying officials all stayed outside the forbidden area of the Doumu Palace, and as soon as Qin Cha entered the back garden, his defense was handed over to the guards of the King of Shu.

At this time, Yang Ling walked forward, and immediately more than a dozen armored warriors followed him closely, and the crowd was crowded, holding him in the middle. Moreover, Li Dayi's hiding place is about twenty zhang away from Yang Ling, if you really want to assassinate him, you have to dodge and rush out, close to seven or eight zhang, and the flying knife will have an effect. This hesitation, Yang Ling has already gone away, Li Dayi sighed lightly, and went into hiding again.

Yang Ling led people to rush to the back of the Imperial Palace, only to see a team of guards with swords out of sheaths and arrows on their arrows waiting in a solemn formation, and the archers all stretched out their bows and arrows, pointing to the top of the palace, although they already knew that the person who suddenly appeared at the top of the palace was a Qincha guard, not an assassin, and they still didn't dare to be sloppy at all, as long as Wu Hanchao jumped into the back garden without the king's order, he would still be unceremonious and shoot immediately.

Yang Ling hurriedly asked, "What about people?" Where's the Captain? ”

A captain hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "Lord Yuqincha, go to the direction of Doumu Palace and Yunshui Hall."

Yang Ling didn't know the path, so he hurriedly called the head to lead the way, and rushed over in a panic. When I went around to the front of Yunshui Hall, I saw two guards looking forward on stilts, and one of them said with a smile: "Tut-tut, that girl is so well-behaved, if you ask to go back and be a guest, it will be very comfortable, and the person is still a chief military officer, so I want to get it, what kind of fire is this?"

"Yes, ouch, Lord Chincha, I have seen Lord Chincha!" The other was in response, and suddenly saw Yang Ling coming, and the python robe and jade belt were very conspicuous in the sun. He has been stationed here and has never seen Yang Ling, but now in the Qingyang Palace, except for the King of Shu, there is such a person who dares to wear a python robe, he naturally knows that it is the Lord Qincha of the imperial court who has arrived, and hurriedly pulled the brother and greeted him with an official salute.

Yang Ling waved his hand, hurriedly rushed over, and when he arrived at Yunshui Hall, he saw that there were many people gathered here, most of them were officials who were not qualified enough to accompany the King of Shu, as well as Taoist priests and some guards from Qingyang Palace.

Yang Ling saw Wu Hanchao standing on the roof at a glance, bowing downward, his expression was extremely ridiculous, there were too many crowds below, but he couldn't see who he was worshipping, Yang Ling couldn't help but burst into a spring thunder, and shouted: "What's wrong?" This official came to see His Royal Highness the King of Shu, but you are making trouble here? ”

As soon as I turned around to see the lively crowd, I saw that it was Lord Qincha's blue face, and I couldn't help but be startled, and with a hula, the crowd dodged left and right, only to see a civil official wearing a cyan official robe standing in the middle, with a long beard like an actor singing Peking Opera, thick over his belly, holding a knife in his hand, and pointing to the roof like thunder and scolding: "Livestock, little animal, I'm really angry with my father, and I won't get down."

Wu Hanchao stood on the green tile on the roof, and said with a bitter face: "Father, you are angry, the child doesn't dare to go down, if you slash me, our Wu family will be doomed."

The more the bearded man listened, the more angry he became, and the halberd scolded: "After the end, Lao Tzu will have another one, which is better than you doing such nonsense and insulting the style of the Wu family."

Yang Ling looked like Zhang Er King Kong, and he was still confused for a while, when he saw Song Xiaoai coming over in a zigzag manner, and said with tears in his eyes: "My lord, people want to go back to Guangxi, I don't want to come to Sichuan."

Yang Ling rolled his eyes and said in his heart: "Do you think this is a child's house?" When you go back to Guangxi, as soon as the wolf soldiers leave, I will become the commander of the light pole."

He said helplessly: "What's wrong, you should let me know."

Wu Hanchao also saw Yang Ling on the roof, and when he saw that the main heart had arrived, he was overjoyed, and stood on the roof and cheered: "I have seen the adult, the lord helps."

Wu Wending is a thunderbolt temper, just a little bit, when the anger comes up, he is not afraid of the sky and the earth, and he has no scruples, otherwise he would not dare to face a cow with a figure like Xu Guogong when he was a small six-rank official.

At this time, his anger had disappeared a lot, and when he saw that even Qincha was shocked, he was also shocked, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute, and said with an ugly face: "Xiaguan Chengdu Tongzhi Wu Wending, meet Lord Qincha, disturb the adult, Xiaguan deserves death!" ”

Only then did Yang Ling know that the burly and military officer in front of him was Wu Hanchao's father, so he hurriedly showed a smile and said a few polite words.

Looking at the situation at the scene, he also figured out a little, Yang Ling put his hands behind his back, looked at Wu Wending, who was strongly suppressing anger, Song Xiaoai, who was angry like a little daughter-in-law, and then looked at Wu Hanchao, who was scratching his ears and cheeks on the roof, shook his head with a wry smile and said: "Come into the room and talk, don't stand here and make people laugh."

Yang Ling walked into Yunshui Hall first, and Song Xiaoai shouted to the roof with a crying voice: "You! You are unproductive, why don't you get down? ”

Wu Wending pulled his long hair and glared angrily at Song Xiaoai: "Sure enough, it is a barbarian who lacks a family education, does my son have any potential, I haven't said that I am not satisfied, do you want to talk more?" How dare you say a word to me. ”

"Huh? It's really 'out' down, I told him to get out of the way and he didn't get out, and when people told him to get out, he was obedient, this little beast, married a daughter-in-law and forgot his father, he was really angry! No, when did I agree to let him marry this girl? Baba bah, the old man is confused! ”

Yang Ling sat in Yunshui Hall, Wu Wending and the three of them ate and vomited, and it took a lot of effort for Yang Ling to barely connect the meaning from the words of the three people: probably he went to meet the King of Shu, the officials and guards were waiting outside the forbidden area, Wu Hanchao and his father talked affectionately for a while, and then sneaked away to talk to Song Xiaoai affectionately.

Knowing his son Mo Ruo's father, Wu Wending must have seen some clues, anyway, the result was that he caught up and saw a picture that he shouldn't have seen. Parents all over the world may see this meeting, and their first reaction is to worry that their son will learn badly. What's more, at that time, if there was no order from parents and the words of matchmakers, it would have been a great rebellion for men and women to interact in private, and Lao Wu naturally had to come forward to rectify the style and clean up the door.

At the beginning, because of Song Xiaoai's identity, Wu Wending also saved her some face, but just reprimanded his son with confidence, but in Song Xiaoai's ears, he couldn't help but refer to Sang and scold Huai. She explained a few words shyly and reluctantly, which was tantamount to adding fuel to the fire for Wu Wending, who was angry.

He felt that Song Xiaoai was using his official body to press him, and the two of them had a quarrel, and the words were there, so Song Xiaoai put aside his official body and only sought Wu Wending's forgiveness as an ordinary woman.

The son helps others talk and does it against Lao Tzu, is this okay? If you really want to pass the door, then won't it be the other way around? Wu Wending was angry, and began to chase and cut his son, although Wu Hanchao's martial arts were higher than him, but how could he dare to do it with his father, so he used his ability to come and go, and called you to 'can't fight', which caused the unwitting guards in Houyuan to misunderstand, thinking that an assassin had touched in.

Yang Ling couldn't help but laugh when he heard it, since ancient times, it was difficult for Qing officials to judge family affairs, and they stood on their different positions, and they couldn't say who was right and who was wrong. Except for the emperor with supreme authority, who is qualified to mess with the mandarin duck spectrum?

Yang Ling looked at Wu Wending, and said in his heart: "According to the current atmosphere, it's no wonder that this beard is annoyed when he sees this kind of thing, but Song Xiaoai wants talents and talents, and he wants to have a figure, and his identity and status are only strong with Wu Hanchao, what is the fundamental reason why Lao Wu opposes them, it will be easy to deal with if the root cause of the disease is found."

Now that he is on fire, I am afraid that he will not be able to listen to whatever he says, so he might as well suppress this matter first, and when he is angry, I will talk to him again, how can I contribute to this match made in heaven."

Yang Ling thought of this, and saw that Lord An was standing at the door and looking inside, so he got up and said with a smile: "Lord Wu doesn't need to be angry, housework, put it aside for the time being, and then talk to the Lord again."

He saw Wu Wending open his mouth to speak, so he lowered his voice and said: "Fang Cai Ling Gongzi was chased and jumped into the room, and was mistaken for an assassin by the guards of the back garden, which has already disturbed the prince of Shu, and the king of Shu is seriously ill, and he is very angry by this fright. Although Han Chao is my bodyguard, if the King of Shu must deal with him strictly, it is inconvenient for me to stop him, at this moment, don't make another incident, I will go and report to the King of Shu."

Wu Wending was also startled when he heard this, his Wu family is such a lone seedling, don't look at him waving a knife and shouting fiercer than anyone else, if his son really doesn't hide, don't talk about the blade, even if he is the back of the knife, he is reluctant to cut down. If the King of Shu is angered, he will be dismissed at least and imprisoned, is that a joke?

After appeasing Wu Wending, Yang Ling glanced at them, stepped out of the lobby, and said to An Daren: "Hehe, it turned out to be just a false alarm, Chengdu Tongzhi Wu is just teaching his son, let's go, go and reply to the prince, so as not to worry the prince."

An Wentao heard that his subordinates caused the trouble first, and couldn't help glaring at Wu Wending fiercely, if it weren't for Yang Ling standing under the eaves and waiting for him to accompany him, he would have rushed in to reprimand him.

Seeing everyone leaving, Wu Wending glanced at Song Xiaoai, looked at his son again, snorted angrily, and walked away. Wu Hanchao "belched", retracted his hand in a curt, and smiled awkwardly at Song Xiaoai: "Xiaoai, my father has this temper, the wind is the wind, the rain is the rain, but the past is over, he never holds a grudge, I will persuade him to be an old man when I go back." My father listens to my mother the most, and when I get home, I let my mother."

Song Xiaoai gave him a big roll of his eyes, and said crisply: "I know, your father listens to your mother the most, and you listen to your father the most, hum!" ”

Song Xiaoai is for Wu Hanchao today, how could she have been angry with others before, and as soon as she turned around after speaking, she also left angrily. Wu Hanchao was stunned for a long time, let out a long sigh, he took two steps back, sat on the chair that Yang Ling had just sat on, thought about it, patted his thigh, and sighed again: "It's hard to be a man!" ”

The King of Shu listened to Yang Ling and An Wentao's reply, and frowned: "This Wu Wending, I heard that he is an honest official and is not afraid of power, but his surname is violent, and he is a strong order-like figure, and he and Xu Guogong had a quarrel in the court in the past, which seems to be true." However, this person is too composed, he wants to teach his son a lesson, and he will not go home to say that he will make such a big joke in front of the civil and military officials of Chengdu Prefecture."

Yang Ling said with a smile: "Speaking of which, it's Benhou's subordinates, the father beats his son, and let him slap him twice, relying on his light skills, jumping around on the roof, which caused the guards to misunderstand." It is the fault of Ben Hou to disturb the prince, please forgive the prince. ”

The King of Shu waved his hand and said: "It's none of your business, hehe, don't worry, the lonely king will not make a big deal about such a thing, but this king lives in Qingyang Palace, which has caused a lot of inconvenience to Guanli, and if someone makes trouble, it will be a little too much." Jin'er, go back and back up the gift and apologize to the viewer."

Zhu Rangjin hurriedly complied. Yang Ling's eyes flashed: "I don't know if this King of Shu really has objections, if my guess is wrong, then although this King of Shu is confined to the times and has outdated concepts, he is a good vassal king who is benevolent and loves the people and abides by etiquette and law."

After this stirring, the conflict between the two that had just been provoked by words was invisibly resolved.

Yang Ling bowed and said with a smile: "What the prince is worried about is actually the opinion of some prudent ministers in the court. However, Ben Hou thinks that at this time and at that time, the old system and the old law are not feasible, so it should be changed at the right time, in the right place, and in the right person, and everything depends on the time, the person, and the matter.

Therefore, Benhou once suggested to the emperor that these policies were only to determine the place and orientation, and try to see their effects first. Everything must be allowed to be tried, just like the Western crops introduced by Benhou, when the seeds were not sown, there were also people who questioned and objected, whether it worked or not, and when there was a harvest after the autumn, we would know. Before he was sure, Ben Hou only found a few places to try planting, how could he dare to take it recklessly, so he planted it all over the country and joked with the lives of trillions of people?

Now it doesn't matter if the prince questions this policy, the prince and Ben Hou have different ways and the same goal, whether it is suitable or not, whether it works or not, let's let the facts speak. If the reform of taxation, official administration, military, civil affairs, and trade in some areas does not lead to extravagance among the people, the dispersion of people's hearts, and moral corruption, but on the contrary, it makes the government of the officials clear, the people happy, and the country rich and the army strong.

"Good! This king now said that he swore to you in front of the civil and military officials of Bashu: If your political strategy is not beneficial to the country and the people, please stop it as soon as possible and make up for your mistakes. If this king is short-sighted and unclear-sighted, and your political strategy is indeed beneficial to the country, this king will now send a housekeeper to Shaanxi to buy new grain seeds, and he will be the first among the vassal kings to support him! ”

Yang Ling said happily: "Okay! A gentleman's word, the horse is difficult to chase, and the marquis and the prince are determined."

The King of Shu nodded, lay back on his back and said: "Today, I met with the mighty marquis, which is the day when these people talk the most, hehe, now I am a little tired." The mighty marquis came to visit the king, the king was sick and couldn't welcome the hospitality, it was really a bit rude, so let my son let the father of Jin take over, and accompany the marquis to drink a few glasses of water and wine to show his gratitude. ”

Yang Ling said with a smile: "I really want it, I don't dare to ask for it." Ben Hou had heard that the prince taught his son well, and the prince was erudite and talented, elegant and generous, and he was a talented person in Shu.

Yang Ling had just gotten up and was about to say goodbye to the King of Shu, when there was a stir outside, and someone shouted 'Catch the assassin', and then the team of armor soldiers hurriedly rushed in again. The king of Shu was really angry this time, and he didn't want anyone to help him, so he sat up and screamed, "Bastard!" Even if he is strong enough to regenerate, this king will cut off his head today, and he will read the book of the sages in vain, so ignorant of the general situation, how can it be unreasonable! Outrageous! ”

Zhu Rangjin hurriedly supported him and said, "Father is angry, father is angry, and his body is important!" ”

The King of Shu pushed him away, pointed to the door and shouted: "Go, arrest that bastard Wu Wending to the Lone King, and deal with it strictly, you must do it strictly!" ”

Yang Ling was also a little annoyed, he twisted his eyebrows and looked at the door, only to see the captain of Fang Cai's team of armor soldiers hurriedly walked in, nodded to the ground on one knee, clasped his fists and saluted: "Lord Wang, there is someone making trouble in the front hall of Fang Cai, and he can't rest assured, so he strengthened his patrol, but when the soldiers stabbed the bushes with guns and spears, a masked man in green clothes jumped out of it." This man was very skilled in martial arts, stabbed three guards to death with a short blade, and escaped from the road, and sent a humble and decent person to pursue him."

The King of Shu was stunned: "Is there really an assassin?" ”

Li Sen, who was originally lazy, also suddenly tightened: "Who are the assassins coming for?" The King of Shu has been recuperating here for several months, and he has never seen an assassin attack, but now the defense is stricter, and the assassin is coming, isn't it? ”

Yang Ling exchanged a look with him, and the two of them quickly understood the doubts in each other's hearts: "If the assassin came from outside and came for Qin, could it be that the king of Shu is innocent, and someone else wants to do wrongs to the court?" But who knows that this is not the King of Shu's suspicious plan? ”

Qingyang Palace inside and outside the police are strict, everywhere are searching and patrolling officers and soldiers, the political envoy An also rushed out, An wandered to inspect the yamen of the whole city Qinglou restaurant, teahouse restaurant to inspect, Shu King Yu was angry, hateful voice: "This pure land is also very clean, what kind of person is so bold and so contemptuous of the law of the country?" ”

Outside, Tengteng rushed into a guard, his face was covered with sweat, and he hurriedly said, "Lord Qiyu."

The King of Shu perked up and interrupted him: "The assassin has caught? ”

Yang Ling watched coldly, and saw that his surprised and eager look did not seem to be fake, and he was even more puzzled in his heart, so he listened to the guard and said, "Lord Wang, what kind of assassin?" The humble post came from the starry night in Xuzhou, and the prince went to Lingxiao City alone to appease the capital, but they were treacherous and detained the prince, and asked the court to move all the Han people out of their place, please send troops to save the prince quickly."

"What?" The king of Shu was shocked, he jumped off the ground at once, only to feel that the sky was spinning, his throat was sweet, his face was blue and red, he opened his mouth and didn't say a word, so he fell back to the couch and fainted.
