Yang Ling didn't get up early, he chose to set off at the end of the morning dynasty, preparing to meet the emperor before the noon dynasty, and talk to each other first to exchange opinions. Before the pen and fun pavilion www.biquge.info went out, Yang Ling ran to the front and ordered: "Don't chirp, be quiet, hold the flag, don't knock the gong."

Princess Yongfu is a sweet and lovely little girl, just because Yang Ling was careless, she chose a sick son and a horse, which made people heartbroken and wanted to become a monk.

As a result, Wei Guogong's guard of honor was like a sneak attack, and he quietly went out of the village, and he didn't want to play the gong, for fear of alarming the imperial nunnery, and ran to the capital in a daze.

When he arrived in the Forbidden City, the early dynasty had just dispersed, and Emperor Zhengde had not yet taken a breath when he returned to the Baohe Palace, and Yang Fang, the deputy imperial envoy of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Zhao Jianzhi, the servant of the Criminal Department, and Gao Wei, a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, chased after him. Yang Fang was originally Zhan Shi of Zhan Shifu, he was an upright person, but he was a clean official, but he had been mixing with Wang Qiong and others, first against Yang Ling, and then against Liu Jin, but he was assigned to a place.

Let's talk about downloading

More than half of the officials in the Metropolitan Procuratorate were cleared, and when they wanted to fill the vacancies, Yang Tinghe remembered this old friend of Zhan Shifu, so he transferred him back, and he was now the deputy imperial envoy of the capital, and his authority was greater than before.

Zhengde has been exhausted by the government these days, and in the final analysis, he still has no money. In fact, as big as a country, and down to a family, many things have to be implemented economically, and without money, then no matter the military or government, many things cannot be carried out.

In fact, this lack of money is just a lack of money in the imperial court, and there are countless rich people among the people, but no matter how rich the people are, they can't steal or rob as the imperial court. If we follow the normal path, it will take too long to improve the economy, and it is not a good policy or a good way to come up with a good way to see immediate results; on the contrary, many good policies that are conducive to long-term peace and stability always burn money at the beginning.

In this regard, the emperor is really not good at it, Yang Tinghe is good at managing money, and has thought of a lot of ways, but now there are too many places that need money, and his ideas of filling in the omissions cannot play a big role, and he has begun to care about the integrity of national politics. He receives a large number of twists and turns every day, but it is all related to money, and he can't help but worry about it.

Zhengde knew that Yang Ling had returned to Beijing, and the two of them liked to talk privately if they had something, and he estimated that Yang Ling should arrive in a while, so he was in a better mood, and he was about to nibble on a piece of meatloaf, when he saw Yang Fang come in with his chest up.

After Yang Fang entered the Metropolitan Procuratorate, he was quite serious in his work, cleaned up many old habits, and he implemented the "Law on the Examination of Officials" very highly. Yang Fang has a clean sleeve, does not accept bribes, is not afraid of power, and he can't find a handle for others to catch, so he has no scruples about anyone, Zhengde's perception of him has gradually improved, so when he saw him come in, Zhengde was not impatient.

Let's carry the latest talk

He smiled and beckoned someone to show Yang Fang a few adults, then took a bite of the pie and asked, "Is there anything you can't say in the morning and noon, and you have to chase into the apse?" ”

Yang Fang thanked him and arched his hand: "Back to the emperor, the minister heard that Yang Ling, the Duke of Weiguo, returned to Beijing and brought back a concubine and a daughter, who is almost two years old."

Zhengde ate with relish, biting the pie into a crescent moon, and when he heard this, he stacked the 'crescent moon', and said strangely: "It's not surprising to bring back a concubine, why don't you have a daughter who takes a fancy to a widow?" ”

Yang Fang hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, this is not the case, according to the minister's investigation, that woman is the daughter of a small official, and no one has been allowed so far, and that daughter is also the biological daughter of Duke Weiguo."

Zhengde thought about it and laughed: "This bastard is also romantic, he must be merciful everywhere when he goes down to Jiangnan, and the daughter of someone who hooked up, hehehe, what are you talking to me about this?" ”

Yang Fang said patiently: "The woman's biological father, three years ago Jimingyi sacrificed his life for the country, this woman was Fuling returned to her hometown Jinling with filial piety, her brother enlisted in the army, this woman performed filial piety on behalf of her brother, should have been filial piety for her deceased father for three years, but this daughter is now two years old, it can be seen that ......."

Seeing that he didn't keep it for three years, Yang Ling, this guy is too unspeakable", Zhengde slapped the table angrily.

Yang Fang was overjoyed when she saw it, and hurriedly said: "Yes, the emperor, the emperor sees it, and the prince of Wei Guo ......."

"He even seduced a woman who was in the filial piety period, and it was really rhetorical, and he was good at tempting the heart of his daughter's family, but this piece of wood, why didn't he do it?" Zhengde sulked at himself, and said secretly in his heart: "My royal sister wants to look good, to have an identity, to be a sister-in-law for you, where is my royal family not worthy of you?" “

Yang Fang saw that the emperor was angry, and couldn't help but secretly rejoice in his heart, the emperor's brainless words that people couldn't understand were put aside for the time being, and hurriedly beat him up and said: "Your Majesty, for the official, how can a person without virtue know how to be polite, righteous and honest?" For the people, the most important word of filial piety, the father is filial piety, and the human ethics are also very polite, but Yang Ling has the grace of the saint, during the inspection period, he actually had a personal relationship with a woman who kept filial piety, and the matter spread, weathered and degraded, and the emperor should be severely punished.

Zhengde pinched his chin, only then did he realize that Yang Fang and Yang Ling had never dealt with each other, he glanced at Yang Fang, and then looked at Zhao Jianzhi, the waiter of the Criminal Department, and Gao Wei, a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, and asked, "Are you all here for this matter?" ”

The three of them nodded in unison and said, "Exactly."

Zhengde nodded, and said in his heart: "Just because Yang Ling has no eyes, and the little beauties sent to the door don't go to tease, I should punish him severely, but if he is hung with a sign of moral loss, won't it be more difficult for my sister to marry him?" Thinking of this, he shook his head again.

Yang Fang saw that he nodded for a while, shook his head for a while, and didn't know the emperor's intentions, so he urged: "Your Majesty, the Duke of Weiguo has been blessed with holy grace for a long time, but he can't set an example for the ministers.

Emperor Zhengde rolled his eyes, he was most annoyed by buttoning his big hat, these officials did not give him a hat at the beginning, and he still has palpitations when he thinks about it, he spread his hands and said impatiently: "Then what do you say?" ”

Zhao Jianzhi immediately said: "His title should be reduced."

Zhengde laughed dryly twice and said, "It's too serious, right?" I want to strangle four people to death when Yan Shenggong did, and the **woman was forty ......".

Gao Wei hurriedly said: "According to the minister's opinion, Yang Ling should be immediately stripped of all his positions in the court, and let him be a prince of the country as a punishment."

Zhengde's eyes widened, and he reprimanded: "Bastard! Even when the father abides by the system, when the court employs people, there is still a compromise of 'seizing affection'. Heaven does not keep filial piety, why? Because the country cannot be without a king for a day, and it is not allowed to miss state affairs because of personal feelings. The Cypriot Mongolians are in a civil war, and if they see the right time to make a move, the biggest threat to the northern frontier of the Ming Dynasty can be eliminated in one fell swoop.

The white-clothed bandits dominate the world, and the fierce momentum is like the sky, if it weren't for Yang Ling, how could they be quelled so quickly? If you can quell the rebellion outside the Guan, annihilate the remnants of the white clothes, and promote the implementation of a new policy to protect the Ming Dynasty, I will immediately cut down his officials and his lords."

Gao Wei choked and rolled his eyes. is a little angry, he is a speech official, only responsible for the performance, isn't the emperor a scoundrel? In the future, who will the speaker join, and the emperor will say that if you can do what he does, I will do him, so what kind of official should the official be? It's all know-it-all, isn't it over when you enter the cabinet to worship the prime minister?

Yang Fang grabbed the red-faced Gao Wei and said to Emperor Zhengde: "Then according to the opinion of the saint, how should we deal with it?" ”

Zhengde said slowly: "There are priorities, private morality or social integrity, which is more important?" I don't need to explain it to you, do I? State affairs or family affairs, which one is urgent, so do you still need to talk about it? Besides, people are not romantic, the concubine of King Chuzhuang is molested, he is measured and tolerant, I am dignified and bright, is it not as good as a King of Chuzhuang? If you make a big fuss about such a trivial matter, what do you think about the big tomorrow, or even the Siyi Congress? Do you think that I value filial piety and virtue, or do you think that I am a faint king who hides all the birds? ”

Yang Fang didn't expect the emperor to say such a thing, when did the emperor's words become so sharp? Yang Ling made good use of this trick when he was arguing in court: suppressing people with power, you are afraid of power, you have to have scruples when you speak, and if you have scruples, what is the lethality? Now the emperor will give them a choice, punish Yang Ling, that is, the gas is not as small as the king of Chuzhuang, that is the faint monarch who is hidden by the bow, on the contrary, it is naturally a grand amount of energy, and he cherishes his courtiers, what do you say?

Yang Fang really looked at Yang Ling unpleasantly, especially hated that he often interfered in political affairs as a national prince, violating the rules formed for more than a hundred years, I wanted to use this matter to rectify him, but I didn't expect the emperor to go around and around, and all the things were on himself, and now whether to punish Yang Ling or not, it is related to the emperor's reputation and even the influence of the four yi, how can this be impeached?

Yang Fang endured her breath and said: "The minister is thoughtful, but the minister is not thoughtful, and the minister is guilty."

Zhengde smiled and said: "You are also loyal to the state affairs, you are worried about me, the one who speaks is not guilty, the one who speaks is not guilty, and I am not to blame."

Yang Fang smiled bitterly and arched his hand: "In this way, the ministers will retire and ask the emperor to rest."

"Okay, you guys stand down, wait, your loyalty is commendable, not only am I not guilty, but I still want to be rewarded. Xiao Guiyu, take down my meatloaf, and an adult will reward one."

Xiao Huangmen hurriedly responded, went down with a plate, and one of them gave Zhang Bi a slap of the third smaller meatloaf, and the three adults held the meatloaf in the palm of their palms, and thanked them again with a smile and laughter, and then withdrew. Zhengde smiled and picked up the piece of 'crescent moon' that he had eaten again.

Yang Ling entered the Baohe Palace, and saw Yang Fang and the three of them coming out, the three ministers lined up, their left hand with big sleeves fluttering, and their right hand held high, Wu didn't understand what kind of kung fu they practiced for a while. The three of them also saw Yang Ling, it stands to reason that they should come forward to see him, fortunately they are holding the things given by the emperor in their hands, and there is no fault for not saluting at this time, the three of them simply pretended not to look at him, did not squint, and went with their wings shaking.

Yang Ling stood at the corner of the hall, watched the three of them leave curiously, hurriedly took out Wudang's secret heart method, held the sun and moon with his left hand, shook off the sky with his right hand, and turned around and entered the Baohe Palace.

His martial arts have not been put down, especially the superior qigong heart method of the inner family, in addition to strengthening the body, itself contains the way of health preservation, Yang Ling combined it with Cheng Qiyun and the thirty-eight skills of his practice, only to feel that in addition to being strong, with it and sex, even Cheng Qiyun such a *** Oiran is unbearable, so the practice is full of interest, rain and rain.

Wu Han always admired him for his determination and determination, and he practiced harder than when he was forced by his master to use a stick on the mountain, but he didn't know that Yang Ling had such a purpose that was not humane to outsiders.

***********

"Weichen see the emperor", Yang Ling shouted as soon as he entered the door.

The inner hall doesn't need to make a big salute when he sees it, but he has just come back from a trip to the emperor, so he has to give a big salute to the monarch and ministers. But Yang Ling's voice shouted early, and when he walked up to the emperor to kneel, the emperor's "no courtesy, flat body" had already been spoken, and Yang Ling took the opportunity to stand with a smile.

How could Emperor Zhengde not understand his heart, snorted, he quickly finished chewing the pie in his mouth, took a big sip of goat's milk, and then said: "Okay, you sit down, don't pretend to be like me."

He wiped his hands with a towel from Xiao Guiyu's hand, supported his chin with both hands, glanced at Yang Ling with his eyes, sighed and said, "Actually, I know." It is useless to ask you to go back to Beijing, and you will not be able to make money, so it will take two years to implement the new policy and encourage agriculture and industry to see the effect. I called you here because I don't want to worry alone, so you can accompany me to worry together." [Heaven's Kiss Hand-hitting]

Yang Ling smiled, sat on a chair next to him, and said: "The emperor, the Chinese martial arts, each has its own strengths, each has its own specialty, the courtier naturally does not dare to boast of being a capable official, but the emperor may wish to talk to the courtier, maybe the courtier can give the emperor some ideas."

"What are you talking about, no money, no money, my treasury is empty, even the daily expenses are not enough, if there is a flood and drought in the four directions, and an unexpected change in the territory, then what should I do? Every time I think about it, I am really worried. Why don't you speak? If you don't have an idea, don't look at me like that, I'm not a woman."

Yang Ling stood up, stood respectfully in front of the imperial case, and made a big salute in a proper manner, Emperor Zhengde stood up strangely, pressed his neck on the table and looked forward: "You didn't want to make a big salute just now, what are you doing now?" I can tell you first, if you poke the leak again, no matter how nice you say, I won't help you carry it."

"Your Majesty, the minister is for the people of the world to salute my emperor long live", Yang Ling Zhengse said: "The emperor is pure and kind-hearted, intelligent and extraordinary, but because he is still young, and has lived in the deep palace for a long time, he does not know the suffering of the people, and he has sex and playfulness.

When Zhengde heard this, he just wanted to laugh, but he quickly stopped, coughed twice, and said solemnly: "Flat, flat, this is originally the responsibility of the king of the country, are you boasting about me, but no matter how I hear it, it seems that before today, I am not the king?" ”

Yang Ling got up and said with a smile: "The emperor is too careful." Your Majesty, you are worried about the current financial constraints, and the minister really has some ideas, in fact, these ideas are based on the minister's opinion, and Scholar Yang will definitely come up with it, but he may not dare to tell the emperor that the minister has less scruples in front of the emperor, but if it is beneficial to the society of the country and the emperor, the minister will say everything."

Zhengde sat down again, and said with interest: "Then you can say it quickly, but what can you do?" ”

Yang Ling pondered for a while and said: "Your Majesty, in fact, a rich country and a strong army are not more than open sources and throttling. Nowadays, it is open source to open the sea and trade and greatly promote industry and agriculture. Open source needs to dig a canal to divert water first, and now the national policy that the imperial court is implementing is the process of digging a canal and diverting water, although it is spent now, but it must be held, persevered, the channel is opened, and the silver will continue to flow into the imperial court's treasury like flowing water.

Another thing is throttling. In the past two years, the war continued, internal and external disputes, although the battle was a big victory, but also spent the savings of the imperial court, the open source has not yet been completed, at this time the financial constraints, the minister felt that he should start from the throttling, save the love of the people, in order to tide over this difficulty. ”

He pointed to the four walls and said: "Your Majesty, look at the palace where you are located, the four walls are bright, even during the day, there are candles constantly, for fear that one place will not shine, in fact, it will not be used at all, and the whole palace will be bright at night." The huge palace, more than 9,000 houses, all of which are made of fine tribute candles, how much more money is spent in one night? If there is moderation, it is tens of thousands of taels of silver a month, how much can you save this piece alone?

Moreover, the emperor's banquet in the evening, that is at least more than 100 dishes, but in fact, the emperor only eats less than ten dishes in front of him, and the rest are all pretentious. But in the opinion of the minister, what are these things put there for? ”

Zhengde patted his thigh and said: "Yes, I'm still annoyed, sit there with a meal, the left dish is served with a dish, and when he comes up, the first few dishes are cold, I am much better in the leopard park, I want to eat anything, I am too lazy to put it." You're right, these places are changed. ”

Yang Ling said again: "For another example, the *** and lantern fees of the Shangyuan Festival are at least 100,000 taels of silver at a time, and when the state is tight, you might as well save it." The cost of repairing the palace in the palace, the cost of rewarding and serving the palace in the inner treasury, the cost of weaving, etc., at present, the state affairs are the priority, and you can be frugal first."

Zhengde said with a smile: "Okay, you, you have moved the idea to my head, no wonder you said that Yang Tinghe didn't dare to mention it." Hehe, but what I said makes sense, anyway, I don't live in the palace, what are I doing with such a big score? For the details, I asked the Internal Affairs Office to make a detailed statement, let Du Fu scrutinize it one by one, and then implement it. Except for the Queen Mother's Palace, everything has been reduced. ”

"The emperor is wise. As far as the minister knows, there are many confiscated treasures in Xishiku, which are piled up there to be weathered and rotten, and no one manages them, and even causes some small officials in charge of the treasury to covet and covet ink from them. The Ministry of Internal Affairs has a precedent for disposing of surplus items before, and now it is advisable to follow this precedent and auction off those confiscated items, the emperor you have no money, but there are many rich people among the people, and the pearls and jade gems that the emperor you look down on are priceless in their eyes.

Coupled with the fact that these things flowed out of the palace, selling a layer of the emperor's wealth and nobility, they must have bid higher. Taking out these useless things that could not be eaten or clothed, and were piled up in the treasury with rats and insects, and exchanged them for gold and silver, which was urgently needed by the imperial court, the minister believed that it would be a huge fortune. ”

Zhengde nodded again and again, and Yang Ling said again: "These are just temporary, the royal family should always have the majesty of the royal family, and the ceremonies that should be there when the country is rich should still have." However, there are some things in the system, but they just take this opportunity to sort out, such as the overflow of redundant personnel, Liu Jin had cleaned it up when he was there, but his purpose was really to crack down on officials and make personal gains, not really clean up redundant personnel, and as a result, all the gifts were fine, but they were interspersed with many people, and the more clear the officials, the more they were, but this matter should be cautious, and the minister suggested that the cabinet should be asked to study it in detail before deciding.

In addition, in the process of gradually implementing the conscription system, the cost of guest soldiers will be greatly reduced, all the sea and canal transportation will be unimpeded, and the logistics between the north and the south will be accelerated, and the loss will be greatly reduced. The post stations everywhere in the Ming Dynasty, responsible for supplying the food and horses of the officials, etc., have always been non-militaristic and not allowed to be used, but now as long as it is an official, regardless of official and private affairs, and even family slaves, all use the post station, the cost is amazing, these things are all cleaned up, to survive these two years, how easy? ”

Zhengde stroked his palms and sighed: "I knew this was the case, why should I be worried about these things, one is not good, the top will offend the palace, and the bottom will offend hundreds of officials, no wonder others dare not mention that it is my idea, tomorrow I will propose the cabinet, you don't want to come out, the queen mother and the queen are not very friendly to you, and there are many officials in the court who want to find fault with you."

"Emperor Xie thinks about Weichen", Yang Ling took a long look.

Zhengde suddenly said: "By the way, I read your report, Jiangnan was victorious, only one female bandit ran away, and now it seems that she has fled back to Taihang, the report of the Ministry of War is unknown, and Miao Kui's recital has not yet arrived, do you know the details?" ”

Yang Ling's heart jumped, and he said quietly: There is a female bandit Yang Kuanhu who led the team to escape, originally wanted to flee to Shaanxi, relying on the Loess Plateau and the Qinling Mountains to show up again, but Miao Gonggong saw through their tricks, gathered heavy troops on the Western Front, and the remnants of the white-clothed clothes were defeated and fled back to Taihang Mountain to be a bandit."

Zhengde smiled: "Come from where you come from, go where you go." They only have the life of being a bandit, so I can rest assured, a female bandit can't make a big deal, otherwise I can't bear to continue to use the army. But even so, I still have to suppress it, but I don't have to make a big move. ”

When he said this, he suddenly remembered Yang Fang's impeachment of Yang Ling, the corners of his mouth didn't need to be crooked, he glanced at him with a smile, and said, "I heard that you have a woman in Jinling, and you already have a daughter?" ”

Yang Ling said in his heart: "Someone reported to the emperor so soon?" He didn't care, he immediately lifted his robe and shouted: "The minister is guilty, the minister is afraid."

"Okay, okay, don't pretend to be garlic with me, you have the ability, isn't Yang Kuanhu a female bandit? Why don't you seduce her back? If you hook her up, how much money will I have to save? Could it be that he is too ugly? ”

Yang Ling smiled dryly: Don't you want the emperor to send his ministers to go again, and the ministers will be ordered to pick up girls? ”

"Pickled girl? What do you mean? ”

"Oh, it's a hook-up."

Emperor Zhengde snorted angrily: "If you want to go, you can go, you first dress me up and marry an immortal."

At this time, Xiao Guiyu came over on tiptoe and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, it's time for you to go to noon."

Zhengde nodded and said, "I have gone to the court, and there are still many things I want to talk to you about, but now that the money matter has been settled, and my urgent need has been solved, I finally have the bottom of my heart." You just came back, rest in the mansion, and if there is anything, you don't have to go to the court, just go to the leopard park to find me."

"By the way, Yongfu has already gone to the Imperial Nunnery, you have nothing to do to visit the door."

Is it a man, go to the nunnery more often? ”

"Nonsense, isn't the royal sister still a monk? It's a practice, you help me persuade her, what kind of home did she leave at a young age? Yang Qing, you must help me with this matter, I will give you a will now, allowing you to act cheaply, no matter what method you use, as long as the royal sister is not out of the house, I don't blame you. ”

"What can a minister do? Can the minister still tie up Her Royal Highness the princess back? ”

"You can do it, I'm going to the court. Oh, take this! Zhengde picked up the plate and buckled it, and the last meatloaf was buckled into Yang Ling's palm.

Yang Ling's eyes kept looking: "What is this?" ”

"Don't waste meatloaf, be frugal in extraordinary times."

Emperor Zhengde hurriedly went to the court, Yang Ling held the meatloaf in his hand, and then he understood what was going on with Yang Fang and the three of them like models.
