The ordinary people who delivered food and vegetables to the civil and military officials, the academicians of Hanlin and the Tai students who blocked the road, the Jinyi Guard, the officers of the Criminal Department, and the officials who were surrounded in the middle all looked in the direction of Yang Ling.

In front of Yang Ling stood a bear-like thick body, almost covering him completely. Liu Dabang spread his beard, stood in the center of the field, and first came to a reunion Luo Quanyi, and said loudly: "Ladies and gentlemen, fathers and fellow villagers." , it's a shame that he didn't stand on the Yanjing flyover, otherwise the next sentence would have been "Those who have money hold a money field, and those who don't have money hold a person Yang". The big stick mallet stood tall and shy, and before he could talk about the legend of "Lord Yang's auspicious nature, resurrected from the dead", the officials rushed up and squeezed him aside.

Liu scratched his scalp with a mallet and muttered, "What are you doing here?" Well? Ay! Who is this, I just changed into clean clothes when I got home, who is so immoral and gave me oil? I said "My lord, it's okay if you squeeze forward, you throw away the fritters first."

No one paid attention to him, maybe these officials went home to calm down, and when they saw Yang Ling tomorrow, they were still tall and reserved, but when they were bullied and their self-esteem was seriously damaged, when the pillars in their hearts: the three scholars did nothing, Yang Ling's sudden appearance really made them excited.

They are not afraid to go to prison, they are not willing to be so humiliated by a eunuch. In their hearts, eunuchs? Are eunuchs also human? I can't fix you, but the person who can fix you is here, the sky has eyes!

Among them, those who belonged to Yang Ling's faction rushed to the front, these people were naturally ecstatic, even those who had no good feelings for Yang Ling also cheered and squeezed forward, without him, even if they didn't like Yang Ling, they only regarded him as a tool to attack Liu Jin, they were happy that he appeared.

Naturally, many of these officials took refuge in Liu Jin for fame and fortune, and they also knew that it was inconvenient for Liu Jin to pardon them alone, so they had no resentment towards Liu Jin.

His own backer is not a unique towering tree in the imperial court, not only the people in the officialdom can see it clearly, but even the common people of the people are not stupid.

Today's emperor's swing has been hanging on these two big trees, Liu Jin can't be offended, but Yang Ling can't afford to offend either, it seems that how to go this way in the future, you have to be careful and careful.

Wu Han was sweating in a hurry, if someone took advantage of the chaos to stab an adult, he didn't know who did it. But the people who squeezed over were all officials from the court, and how could the officials who could go to the court to see the driver be too low, and he couldn't blast people away.

Yang Ling didn't expect the reaction of the hundred officials to be so strong, and hurriedly answered a few people correctly, Yang Ling raised his hands high, and said loudly: "Everyone, my lords, this official has just returned to Beijing for less than an hour, and I will tell you the truth, I haven't slept well in the past few days, I haven't eaten hot soup and hot rice, I heard that something happened in Beijing, so I am in a hurry, and this official will go to see the emperor soon, my lords."

He also muttered when he heard the news, and hurried to come when he heard the news, what happened specifically, whether the imprisonment of hundreds of officials was the emperor's own will, and he didn't know the details, although if he went to intercede with the emperor, he could 100% ask for a pardon, but the emperor hadn't made an order yet, and it would be too unethical to release people by himself.

As soon as he hesitated here, Li Dongyang, who was following at the end, had already seen it.

He and Yang Tinghe and Jiao Fang were unwilling to go home, and they couldn't order Shi Wenyi to save people, so they had to follow all the way behind with a shameless face, hundreds of officials walked, and the three of them were not good at making sedan chairs, he and Jiao Fang were older, and in the end, Yang Tinghe held one in one hand, and the three cabinet scholars saw that the Hanlin Academy and the Tai students came forward to stop them, so they hid behind and did not show up, hoping that these Confucian students could start to play.

But Shi Wenyi didn't have Liu Jin's order, although he didn't dare to blatantly beat people, let alone let them go casually, he was in a stalemate, Yang Ling came, as soon as he saw Yang Ling's voice, Li Dongyang knew that the opportunity was coming, and immediately broke free of Yang Tinghe's hand, and shouted: "Lord Yang, you want to mess with the old man, the sky is really open!" ”

Who couldn't hear the voice of Li Dongyang, a veteran of the Three Dynasties, and the civil and military officials were suddenly silent. Old Master Qiao glanced at him sideways, and said in his heart: "Isn't this what I just said?" Lord Li, this is Lord Li, you won't be so sophisticated, right? How can you be numb than me? ”

I saw Li Dongyang with a spring breeze on his face, he didn't look aside, he rushed over and grabbed Yang Ling's hand, it would be better if there were another old tears at this time, but he didn't cry.

"Lord Yang, I was shocked to hear the bad news, the old man was very sad, and he has been deploring the jealousy of talents and the loss of the country's pillars in the past few days. The emperor is very sad, the dragon's body is not safe, these days have been greatly affected by the listening to the government, Lord Yang should immediately tell the emperor the good news, so as not to make the emperor sad and healthy."

"Huh? What the scholar said was that the official should go to see the emperor immediately, but here."

"Here? Oh, my lords, my lords, please listen to the old man."

Li Dongyang turned around, faced the hundred officials, and said with a smile: "The old man understands that Lord Yang has come back from the dead, and all colleagues are happy for Lord Yang.

Ladies and gentlemen are concerned about Lord Yang, you can talk about it in the morning, or you can visit the door, here is the downtown street, traffic jams, pedestrian inconvenience, and unsightly, everyone should not delay Lord Yang's time, disperse, ah, all ~~ disperse! ”

"Disperse" is no problem, but this "scattered" is debatable, that is, Li Dongyang did not deliberately aggravate his tone, and everyone heard it. What the hell are people who read, nerds? A scholar who can be an official is not a real nerd.

The civil and military officials understood, and immediately bowed their hands and said: "Lord Yang has worked hard, let's meet again tomorrow, farewell, farewell!" ”

"Lord Hou is going to see the emperor? Oh, then the lower official doesn't dare to delay the time of the Hou Ye, please please, the lower official has resigned."

There were also a few sycophants, who shouted directly: "Congratulations to Wei Guogong ~~~", but Wei Guogong didn't move, they slipped away first.

"Belch", Shi Wenyi looked around, only to see that tonight really responded to the sentence of "scattering birds and beasts", the embroidery on the civil and military officials is either birds or beasts, this class of "birds and beasts" scattered in a hurry, those brocade guards who don't know how powerful Yang Dugong is, especially they are well-informed in the palace, they have heard that the emperor has brought filial piety to Lord Yang, Shi Wenyi did not speak, they were happy to pretend to be confused, and watched the civil and military officials flee.

Yang Tinghe stood next to him and coughed for a while, waved his hand for a while, as if chasing mosquitoes, and motioned to his colleagues from the Tai Academy and the Hanlin Academy to hurry up. These people were all called by him, he himself was born in the Zhan Shifang of the Hanlin Academy, and he was the prince's attendant, the Hanlin Academy can be said to be his territory, and now most of the Metropolitan Procuratorate has fallen into the hands of Liu Jin, and he still controls half of the Hanlin Academy.

The Emotional Tai Academy and the Master of the Hanlin Academy are both short-sighted, Yang Tinghe made a small action for a long time, the two bigwigs were stunned, and Yang Tinghe walked over directly and shouted: "The civil and military officials have been dispersed, what are you still doing here?" If you don't go, be careful that this official will impeach you for gathering crowds to make trouble! ”

These people are actually waiting for his signal, and now the signal is so clear, the pigs can understand it, so why don't they leave? Suddenly, like a tide, it came and went faster, and they all dispersed.

Shi Wenyi ate the yellow lotus dumbly, and said to Li Dongyang with a sad face: "Master Li, look at the official, me."

Li Dongyang hurriedly interjected: "Oh, Lord Shi, I forgot something, the palace ban is closed, and it is impossible to send a message before the noon gate, but you are a brocade guard, the palace ban cannot be opened, but the noon gate can be approached, Lord Yang was spared This is a great joy, if you wait until tomorrow to let the emperor know, the emperor will definitely punish you heavily, why don't you accompany Lord Yang to report a good news to the emperor?" ”

Shi Wenyi's eyes lit up: "Oh, is this to let me push it all on Yang Ling?" This is a good idea", he immediately leaned over affectionately, bowed down and said: "Congratulations to Lord Yang on your safe return, and the next official will accompany you to the noon gate to report to the emperor."

Yang Lingzheng was stunned: "What is scattered, all dispersed, this group of people seems to be waiting here to greet me, this old fox forget it, anyway, I was going to save people, the emperor really wants to blame me, I will fight with him Mr. Xiya (Xiya, Li Dongyang's number)."

Yang Ling also pretended to be confused and said: "In this case, this official will go to see the emperor first, the three scholars", his gaze swept slightly on the faces of the three people, and he made a deep sigh.

Li Dongyang's eyes are full of ease and joy, Yang Ling's political strategy more and more shows his correct surname, his various exploits in resisting foreign insults, but also makes Li Dongyang sincerely admire, now he, Yang Ling's good impression has surpassed Yang Ling's when he first entered Beijing, when he used a plan to protect him in front of Empress Zhang, he was really happy to see Yang Ling.

Yang Tinghe is also more polite than before, especially Yang Ling's recommendation of his son, who is the recommended teacher of his beloved son, and at present, it seems that Liu Jin is really a hundred times more domineering than Yang Ling, a thousand times more hateful, and ten thousand times more deserved, and he has a good impression of Yang Ling, "It's a pity, he and Yang Yiqing are friends, otherwise alas!" Yang Tinghe sighed slightly, and also bowed to him.

As for Jiao Fang, needless to say, although he only glanced at each other and exchanged words, the pair just looked at each other and smiled, and Yang Ling turned away. As soon as he turned around, he screamed, there were many people who were scared by him this day, and now he was finally scared by people.

Wu Jie came out of nowhere, standing behind him like a ghost, with tears in his eyes and a smile on his face, Yang Ling was slightly stunned before he reacted and called out in surprise: "Old Wu!" ”

Wu Jie was dressed in a green robe, dressed in casual clothes, and there were a few sturdy men in casual clothes standing next to him, it should be the person he brought with him, looking at his face, he was obviously a little haggard, his eyes were bloodshot, and in the past few days, this big stall leader has been tired for Yang Ling's busy work all night.

"Old Wu, I'm sorry for you", Yang Ling held Wu Jie's old hand and said softly.

"It's really hard for adults to be out and about. Congratulations to your Excellency for quelling the rebellion between the Japanese, the Yi and the Barbarians, and returning with honor, your Excellency will go to see the emperor first, our own family, and the time to get together is."

"Good!" Yang Ling patted Wu Jie's arm and said to Shi Wenyi: "Lord Shi, please."

The stage in the palace is singing a big opera, this play should be the prototype of the Peking Opera "Ganlu Temple" in later generations, but the most famous section of Ganlu Temple is Qiao Laoge's "persuade Chitose to kill the word Hugh" fragment, at this time, due to the influence of the fashion of the Ming Dynasty, the protagonist is the princess Sun Shangxiang of Eastern Wu, and now she is playing the lyrics of a girl in the boudoir that Princess Sun Shangxiang heard that she was going to marry her uncle Liu Bei.

Originally, this paragraph was about the little girl who heard that she was going to marry an uncle, or married a wife, and she was quite reluctant, but she was persuaded by Da Qiao for a while, and thought about it alone in the boudoir, feeling that Liu Bei was a hero in the world, and turned her resentment into a happy monologue in the boudoir.

This paragraph was originally Zhengde's specialty singing, much better than the eunuchs who specialized in singing in the palace, but today, although in order to make his sister happy, Zhengde reluctantly appeared on the stage, but the joy that Sun Shangxiang should have is gone. Zhengde was dressed in red makeup, his water sleeves were flying, and he was dressed in a festive manner, but he sang from beginning to end with a mournful tone, as if Sun Shangxiang was reluctant.

Princess Yongfu leaned back in the chair, her eyebrows were slightly locked, her beautiful face was tinged with a touch of sadness, and the eunuchs next to her clapped their hands silently, but she just sighed softly, lazily picked up a piece of snack, took a bite gently, and put it back on the plate boredly.

Princess Yongchun ate a mouthful of something, her cheeks bulged, and she said with a sigh: "Sister, why don't you eat, didn't the imperial doctor see it, the head hurts and the brain is not hot, why don't you have an appetite?" ”

Empress Dowager Zhang, who was sitting on the main seat, also said with concern when she heard this: "Your imperial brother sings so hard in order to make you happy, don't let the emperor worry anymore, eat a little more."

Princess Yongfu lowered her eyes slightly and said: "Yes, Queen Mother, the child is just weak and has a poor appetite, so it will be fine to rest for two days."

She sighed softly, holding her cheeks in her hand: "Yang Ling was buried by the mountain, who is so annoying, he didn't feel anything to him before, how did he hear that he died so miserably, and his heart suddenly became so uncomfortable, Yang Ling, Yang Ling, he was stoned to death."

Liu Jin said flatteringly to the Queen Mother: "Queen Mother, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess doesn't like to eat these things, and the old slave asked the imperial dining room to change a few things immediately."

Empress Dowager Zhang bowed slightly, Liu Jin took two steps back, straightened up and was about to call Xiao Huangmen over, Ma Yongcheng, the chief manager of the Inner Palace and the Internal Affairs Office, ran in a panic, knelt in front of the stage and shouted: "Your Majesty, Yang Ling, the Governor of the Inner Factory, has returned to Beijing!" ”

On the stage, Emperor Zhengde's facial features were dull, and he was babbling and singing with his orchid fingers, but he didn't hear it clearly at all, and the queen mother and Princess Yongfu in the audience didn't hear it clearly, only Princess Yongchun and Liu Jin listened to it really.

The two of them suddenly had a stunned expression, Princess Yongchun opened her small mouth, and she didn't know that half of the powder cake fell out of her mouth, and the corners of Liu Jin's mouth twitched, and there was a sign of a stroke.

He shook his body for a moment before he jumped over, grabbed Ma Yongcheng's collar tightly, and said in disbelief: "What did you say?" Who has returned to Beijing? ”

Ma Yongcheng said with a sad face: "Gonggong Liu, it is Lord Yang Lingyang, the mighty marquis and the admiral of the inner factory, who has returned to Beijing, and he is not dead!" ”

"Huh?" Liu Jin Tengteng took two steps back, this time the Queen Mother and Princess Yongfu also heard clearly, the two stood up together, and the Queen Mother exclaimed: "What did you say?" Say it again to the mourning family, you said that Yang Ling and Yang Qing's family are not dead? ”

Princess Yongfu opened her mouth and closed it immediately, but her small nose wings fluttered, her breasts rose and fell rapidly, her excited face turned red, and a pair of pretty apricot eyes shone brightly, staring at Ma Yongcheng tightly, for fear that she would hear something wrong.

Zhengde seemed to have an accident under the stands, so he put down his body listlessly, walked to the side of the stage and said weakly: "What's the matter, Yongcheng?" ”

The gongs and drums behind him were still blowing, Ma Yongcheng said it to him again, Zhengde still didn't hear it clearly, Princess Yongchun was confirmed, and immediately cheered, turned around and hugged her sister, Yongfu also had a smile on his face, like a shining jade lily.

Empress Zhang glared at Yongchun and reprimanded: "You are a princess, what kind of body do you shout at?" ”

Zhengde heard the words 'returned to Beijing', he waved his sleeves impatiently, the sound of gongs and drums stopped abruptly, and Zhengde asked again: "What's the matter?" Who has returned to Beijing? ”

As soon as Ma Yongcheng opened his mouth, Princess Yongchun had already rushed to say: "Brother Huang, Yang Ling is not dead, he is back in Beijing!" ”

"What?"

Ma Yongcheng just straightened the collar that was twisted by Liu Jin, and was pulled by Zhengde, who jumped off the stage, and said with his 'apricot eyes' wide open: "You said that Yang Ling is not dead, right?" Is it that Yang Shiyu is not dead? ”

Ma Yongcheng hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, the emperor, the palace is closed, Lord Yang can't come in, Lord Jinyi Weishi went to the palace gate to send a message, saying that Lord Yang is back and is worshipping the emperor outside the noon gate."

Zhengde let go of his hand, with a look of surprise, he shook as if he hadn't woken up, and suddenly straightened his chest and looked up to the sky and snorted: "Haha, haha, ah~~~~ hahahaha."

Zhu Da 'Hua Dan' finished singing 'Lao Sheng', shook off his water sleeves, walked like flying, and ran out of the royal opera garden.

Princess Yongchun said happily: "Sister Huang, let's take a look, this Yang Ling is so interesting, it's much more fun than the royal brother singing a big show, hehe~."

Princess Yongfu really wanted to rush to the front palace immediately than her, but after all, she was a little older and knew the rules, so she couldn't help but glance at the queen mother, and the queen mother really raised her face and scolded: "Don't mess around, you are a dignified princess, what kind of system do you have to run to the front palace in the middle of the night?" Your imperial sister is not in good health, hurry up and accompany the imperial sister back to rest, the mourning family still has to go to see the queen mother, what do you want to know, ask your imperial brother tomorrow."

Princess Yongchun pouted, and when she saw that her sister didn't dare to express her opinion, she had to agree, took Princess Yongfu's hand and gave a salute to the Queen Mother, and said goodbye.

Liu Jin was shocked and angry, and all kinds of feelings came to him, but he was a character who could calm down more and more when encountering major events, and he could catch up with two steps and salute Princess Yongfu: "Your Highness, do you want the old slave to prepare some snacks and send them to you?" ”

"No need, belch, ask the imperial dining room to prepare two bowls of no, three bowls of japonica rice and dried pork porridge are sent, and the princess and the royal sister want to eat for supper."

"Sister, I'm quite full."

"Eat when you're full, so you don't have to shout hunger to me in the middle of the night."

The sisters flew away like two little bees.

Empress Dowager Zhang looked at their figures and always felt that something was wrong. After all, Yongfu is her biological daughter, and she spends more time by her side than the prince, and the mother-daughter relationship is very good, if there is anything abnormal about this daughter, how can she detect it?

Seeing the changes that Yang Ling's resurrection brought to Princess Yongfu, the more Empress Dowager Zhang thought about it, the more inappropriate it became, wouldn't she be her daughter?

Empress Dowager Zhang felt uneasy, Yongfu lived in the courtyard of the deep palace, and she was not afraid that she would do anything that would insult the royal dignity, but if what she was worried about was true, it would not be a good thing after all.

The daughter has grown up, and then the New Year will be twenty-eight years old, and they have all been married in the people, so far, there is only one Yang Ling who Yongfu has come into contact with, and that Yang Ling is a girl who likes it, and it is estimated that it is not good, it is time to find a colt for her Zhang Luo, so as not to make this child cranky.

"Well, Ming'er summoned the two brothers into the palace to discuss together, they are Yongfu's uncles" Empress Dowager Zhang thought about it while driving Cining Palace to visit the Empress Dowager.

Yang Ling stood far away from the noon gate, don't say that it is him, even any royal relatives and nobles, and they are not allowed to approach the palace without permission during the palace ban period, otherwise they will be punished for rebellion.

Shi Wenyi is the brocade guard in the palace, and he has the waist card on duty in the palace, even so, the palace door is locked, and he can't get in, and he can only rest in the door holes on both sides of the palace wall when he sends the prisoners back. However, he has a waist card on duty in the forbidden palace, and he can go past the guards, come to the palace gate, and shout inside along the crack in the door.

The news kept coming into the harem, because the emperor hadn't slept yet, Ma Yongcheng hurried to report it, and he didn't dare to bear the consequences of the delay in such news. Zhengde was dressed in red with fluttering skirts, from the harem to the front palace, and performed a play 'Red Breeze Running at Night'.

He practiced martial arts and practiced swords, and his physical strength was very good, and the four small yellow doors behind him were tired and out of breath, this informal situation was common among the eunuchs and palace maids in the harem, but the guards in the front palace had only heard of it.

The guards along the way saw the four little eunuchs beside the emperor chasing a tall woman in red rushing past, and they still shouted "The emperor slows down", but they didn't react until these people disappeared from sight.

Zhengde arrived at the gate of the palace and shouted urgently: "Open the door quickly!" ”

The general of the noon gate greeted him and looked left and right, a little like the Emperor Zhengde, and his voice was also like, but he didn't dare to recognize it, and the four small yellow doors behind him caught up and shouted: "Bold, don't you kneel down to see the driver?" ”

The general of the noon gate confirmed that the woman in the palace in red was the emperor of Zhengde, this master can carry the people's daughter across the horse to break into the noon gate, whip at the Jinluan Palace, what other ridiculous things can he not do?

General Wumen hurriedly knelt down and said, "Long live the minister, the minister doesn't dare!" The palace ban has fallen, and there is no reason to open the palace door in the middle of the night."

Zhengde was furious and shouted: "You dare to resist the order? ”

The general kowtowed at noon and said: "Your Majesty, this is the ancestral system, once the forbidden palace is closed, the palace gate cannot be opened for a big event, it is a capital crime for the minister to open the palace door, and it is also a capital crime to resist the decree, and the minister would rather be given death by the emperor than dare to open the door against the ban."

The deputy general next to him also knelt down tremblingly and said: "Your Majesty, this is indeed a royal rule, and it cannot be changed, and the ministers dare not resist the decree, nor dare to disobey it, and the key to the forbidden palace was also taken away by the celebrant after it was locked, and it will not be returned if it is less than five."

Zhengde stomped his feet anxiously, but he was not an unreasonable person, intimidation is one thing, these courtiers strictly abide by the rules, how can it be a real punishment, he ran to the palace gate and knocked on the door, shouting: "Yang Qing!" Yang waiter, are you outside? ”

The voice came clearly in the night, and Shi Wenyi heard the emperor speaking outside, and hurriedly raised his voice and replied: "Your Majesty, it's the micro-minister Shi Wenyi here."

Zhengde was stunned when he heard this, and said, "Shi Wenyi? What are you doing outside the palace? Quickly ask Yang Qing to come forward and answer."

Shi Wenyi didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly ran to the big square outside the noon gate to announce the decree to Yang Ling, Yang Ling followed him to the noon gate, and his heart was also very excited, he calmed down for a while, and then "banged" and patted the palace door, and said loudly: "Your Majesty!" Chen Yang Ling saw that Wei Chen was not dead, Wei Chen is back! ”

"Yang Qing!" Zhengde clutched the beast kiss copper ring on the door and shouted happily: "Yang Ling! I'm happy, I'm happy."

"Emperor", Yang Ling didn't say anything more "Weichen should die, tired of the emperor worrying about the ministers", across the door, that is the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and also his siblings. They couldn't see each other, but they could feel the flow of feelings between each other, which transcended the distinction between kings and ministers, it was a kind of flesh-and-blood relationship.

Seeing off Empress Dowager Zhang, Liu Jin slowly straightened up, and his face suddenly became gloomy.

Ma Yongcheng hurriedly got up, tugged at his collar again, and said nervously: "Gonggong Liu, this Yang Ling is actually immortal, what can I do?" ”

The corners of Liu Jin's eyes twitched slightly, and he said in a low voice: "The palace is locked, and I can't get out now, otherwise I can still have a good discussion with Zhang Cai and Wen Mian, our family is in a mess now, and we can't come up with a good idea." This Yang Ling is really a scourge, the mountain can't crush him, he actually came back."

He put his hands behind his back, paced a few steps slowly, and said: "Hateful, if it weren't for the anonymous submission this morning, the person arranged by our family would have handed over the West Factory and the Maritime Yamen to me. That letter couldn't have been done by his people, right? ”

Originally, because there were also words criticizing Yang Ling in the letter, Liu Jin's eyes had been staring at the Qing School, and at this time, he realized that he had fallen for them.

The more Liu Jin thought about it, the more annoyed he became, and he stomped his feet and said, "Damn! These guys have been pretending to be grandsons, and our family has been fooled by them, and now it's late, it's late, but most of the forces in the capital have fallen into the hands of our family, hehe, if you want to fight with me, it's not so easy now.

What else is Wencheng Wude, what is the Duke of Weiguo, hum, these praise positions and nicknames have all to be taken back, how can he take advantage of any advantage."

"Yes, yes, yes", Ma Yongcheng didn't give face to Yang Ling at the beginning, exposed the fact that his female officials bullied the princess and the concubine, and forced him to kill the female official with his own cane.

He nodded hurriedly, and just walked out of the opera garden behind Liu Jin, looking at Liu Jin's gloomy face, a thought suddenly came to his mind, and he hurriedly shouted: "Father-in-law, our family has an idea to deal with Yang Ling, I don't know if it's feasible."

"Oh? Let's hear it", Liu Jin stopped and turned back with interest.

"Father-in-law, if the person is not dead, this nickname will definitely not be awarded, but we feel that if he really seals the country, it will be a good thing."

"A good thing?" Liu Jin's eyes became cold, he squinted his eyes and looked at Ma Yongcheng, and said in a strange voice: "It's a good thing that he was promoted to an official, let's listen to it."

"Father-in-law, the status of Grandpa Guo has been improved, but can Grandpa Guo serve in the court? According to the rules of the Ming Dynasty, which grandfather can be in charge of military power, control factory guards, and tax payments? Not a single one, the first two years of the rebellion, the order to lead the troops to the expedition as soon as he returned to Beijing, he had to immediately hand over the military power, the ministers and the country, to prevent dictatorship.

If Yang Ling is really crowned the prince of the country, and his righteous sister is about to become a concubine, father-in-law, he will be completely involved in this lord and country, and he dares to love power? If Yang Ling really became the prince of the country, he would be a tiger with his teeth extracted, looking at the world, in addition to you, who else can the emperor rest assured that the inner factory will be handed over? ”

"That's right", Liu Jin suddenly became enlightened, and the more he thought about it, the more reasonable he felt.

He was able to sit in this position because of all luck. There are eight personal eunuchs waiting for the prince, and after the prince ascended the throne, he was known as the Eight Tigers, in fact, those people were all used to make up the numbers, except for Zhang Yong, who could barely compete with him, the others were not a problem at all.

He is the emperor's servants, but those people are his minions, and he can get ahead among the minions, because he Liu Jin has a unique vision, quick response, and accurate pressure.

"When you are a national prince, you have to delegate power, Yang Ling is not dead, as long as he is pushed to the position of the national prince, then in the future, there will only be Wei Guogong, and there is no Yang Ling, this opponent is still equal to death, and the most powerful inner factory is at your fingertips!"

Liu Jin's face was red with excitement, and said: "Okay, just do it, I'll go back and plan again, Yang Ling will return to Beijing, and the hundred officials will definitely renegotiate with him for his additional officials, and then let all our people come forward to protect it, even if the head is arched, our family will also protect him Yang Ling, and be his grandfather of the country, hehehehe."

The four royal guards were in groups of two, holding a high pole, and a string of lanterns hung on the pole head, standing under the palace wall, and before the two strings of lanterns was a long ladder, and more than thirty little eunuchs were holding the ladder and some holding their hands high, fearing that the people above would fall.

This ladder is Ma Yongcheng opened the treasury, and now the long ladder is carried out, which is usually used by the palace craftsmen to repair the palace wall, and the ladder is very strong, but Liu Jin and Ma Yongcheng are still very nervous, and keep shouting: "The lantern is held closer, you stand down, you can hold it, if the emperor loses a hair, I will peel your skin!" ”

It turned out that Zhengde and Yang Ling talked for a while across the palace gate as if shouting, Zhengde wanted to see Yang Ling more and more, so he couldn't even see his appearance through the door, he was really unsteady in his heart, he didn't take a good look, I was afraid that he wouldn't be able to sleep well tonight.

But General Wumen really knelt there and pretended to be dead, looking at that appearance, he didn't expect him to open the door at all. Good! Aren't you under the rule of the ancestral system that you can't open the palace gate? Can I climb the wall? Is this still a rare thing for me Zhu Houzhao?

Zhengde stomped his feet and said: "Come on, go, move the ladder, can't you open the palace door?" I'm going to go up to the wall to see Yang Qing."

As soon as they heard this, the four little yellow doors "hula" and knelt down: "The emperor must not, if the emperor goes out of the palace over the wall, the slaves and maids will be beaten to death."

"Who said I was leaving the palace? I just stood on the wall and looked at Yang Qing, go and move the ladder, move two, go out and let Yang Qing go up the wall."

A few little eunuchs felt a little at ease, and when they saw that Zhengde was urging in a hurry, they hurriedly called General Wumen and sent eight soldiers to help carry the ladder. There were soldiers outside helping to escalate the ladders, but there were no lanterns. Yang Ling's practice of superior martial arts has greatly improved his physique and physical flexibility, although he cannot compare with people who have practiced martial arts since childhood in terms of technical skills, he climbs the ladder quickly, so although he is slower than Zhengde, he climbed to the palace wall first.

Two strings of orange lanterns swayed slightly in the wind, and someone in the palace wall called Yang Qing, and his head also appeared.

First, there was a green hair, clouds and misty sideburns, and then a beautiful woman rose, like a red apricot out of the wall.

Yang Ling was taken aback again tonight, and no matter how good his concentration was, he almost missed it. Through the palace wall with a glazed tile roof, the woman in red on the opposite side showed a small half of her body, and the two looked at each other, all stunned, and said in unison: "Who are you?" ”

As he spoke, the voice was heard, Zhengde hurriedly shouted down: "The lantern is closer, the lantern is closer", the two strings of red lights are closer, Zhengde took a closer look, the person opposite was dressed in the clothes of an ordinary soldier, tattered and tattered, and his face was also black and white, but the eyebrows and facial features still recognized Yang Ling, and he couldn't help shouting happily, grabbed his arm, and excitedly: "Sure enough, it's Yang Qing, it's really Yang Qing, you're still alive, hahahaha."

Yang Ling went home, everyone wanted to talk to him, he had another faint to take care of, he woke up and ate, just looked at his son and ran to the palace, he didn't bother to change his clothes, he didn't wash his head, he just wiped his face and hands. As soon as Lord Xiao Yang soaked the boy's urine and sprinkled it on his hair, the dust and mud flowed down his face, and he became like this.

Yang Ling had the experience of the last time he saw Zhengde women's clothes, and he immediately recognized him after being surprised. It is said that the emperor was very sad when he heard the news of his death, but the emperor was dressed in a costume, as if he had just finished singing a big play, which seemed to be a little wrong. However, Yang Ling had Gao Wenxin's 'secret marriage' misunderstanding, and then saw Zhengde's eyes full of tears, a heartfelt excitement and joy, without a trace of doubt in his heart, and he also forgot to hold Zhengde through the wide palace wall.

The first snow was thin and had long since stopped, and the wind blew the clouds away, and a bright moon as warm as jade and huge as a wheel hung in the sky, as if it could be plucked with its hands. The clear light of the water poured quietly on the earth, pouring on the top of the palace wall and the two brothers who were talking on the wall.

Wisps of thin clouds swept softly, and the moonlight dissolved and haze.

Liu Jin looked up at it for a long time, then sucked his nose, lowered his head and rubbed his sour neck, and asked while yawning, "What time is it?" ”

It stands to reason that the city ban is not allowed to open, but the city defense force belongs to Zhang Yong, Zhang Yong is Yang Ling's iron buddy, and Yang Ling is the emperor's iron buddy, so the west gate of the third watch was opened in the middle of the night, and more than ten fast horses galloped out and went straight to Gao Laozhuang.

Yang Ling led more than a dozen personal soldiers back home, only to see that the lights were bright, and the family servants, including many maids and maids who should have stayed in the backyard, were all waiting in the front hall, and when they saw them coming in, they hurriedly greeted the horses and the dusters, Yang Ling threw the horses to his family, and looked at the people who came up, except for the young lady, Sister Yu, Xue Limei, Tang Yixian and Gao Wenxin were not there, so he asked, "Are they all sleeping?" ”

"No, you didn't come back, they were all waiting for you in the hall, and when I saw you enter the door, I hurried back to the room."

Yang Ling was stunned at first, but immediately reacted, they were worried when they didn't go home, and now that they returned home, they were afraid that it would affect their rest, so they hurriedly avoided it.

The young lady smiled softly, sighed and said, "The water is all boiled, let's go back and take a bath to relieve fatigue."

Yang Ling nodded, the two of them returned to the back house, in the courtyard of the two, a separate bathing wooden house has been set up, this is Tang Yixian saw the emperor's bathroom in the leopard garden, it is still imitated, the main feature is that the convection is set up in the bath stove, the servant boils the water in the hut next to it, the water flow is neither hot nor cold, it can always maintain a constant temperature, avoiding the maid from constantly carrying water into the house, and the water temperature has to be adjusted.

The clean and soft change robe has been put on the shelf, the house is hot, Yang Ling threw himself into the water, first drenched his hair, and then lay on the special stone water chair, his head was lying on the towel, and his waist was just stuck in a narrow place, that is, it would not slide into the water, nor would it float because of such a posture, and there were stone barriers on both sides that were high above the water, which were designed to doze off.

His skin was itchy and a little tight, but Yang Ling still couldn't calmly enjoy the two little maids rubbing and bathing his bare body, and ordinary folk girls would be ashamed and want to kill if they saw [***] men.

The servant girl is also a human being, and she also has the same sense of shame and concept, although the big family is accustomed to letting the maid take a bath, but Yang Ling never thinks that no matter how big his official is, he can treat the servant girl as his own private property to be killed and given, and not to be looked at by others.

The young lady knew his temper, put a piece of loofah sac on the edge of the pool, and said softly to him: "You soak for a while, I'll go see if the baby is awake, and come back immediately."

"Hmm", facing his wife, he doesn't need to say those sensual love words, a look, a movement, you can quickly understand the other party's thoughts, the other party's joys, sorrows, and sorrows.

The young lady gently closed the door, Yang Ling let out a long breath, washed his face with clean water, closed his eyes and thought quietly: "You have to have a good rest, the emperor has granted a vacation, sleep with him for a day." The matter of the murder in Sichuan, I went back and sent the fans to investigate according to my own speculation, I hope it was not done by Shu Shizi.

And Yun'er, I don't know how it is now, and the messengers I sent should have arrived. Wen Xin, she didn't get married after passing the door, but she is already my person, and now if I don't want her, then it's not just hypocrisy, it's strange that she doesn't seek death, not to mention this big girl! Why don't you love her in your heart?

Liu Jin in the court, who dares to be so domineering today, shows that he has enough strength in the court, and he is not easy to overthrow, of course, the most important thing is the emperor's favor, otherwise unless he dares to rebel under the banner of 'Qingjun's side', who can help him? For the dynamics of hundreds of officials, we have to observe it first, and then plan before acting.

As long as my favor in the emperor's heart remains undiminished, then the plan I made in Sichuan's 'Wangzhuxi' can be implemented, even if this plan can't defeat Liu Jin in one fell swoop, it will have to lose half of his power, but is it used now or looking for a better time? If we have enough evidence of the crime before we carry out the 'wing-cutting', we may be able to bring him down in one fell swoop, otherwise we will not be killed, and we must be careful that he will make a comeback."

The gentle and warm water rippled his body, and the feeling of drowsiness in the relaxed comfort was also enveloped, Yang Ling's eyelids yawned heavily, "Think about it slowly, what I need most now is to get some sleep."

Han Youniang flashed into the door lightly, "Xiang", she only called for half a sound, then held her breath, and tiptoed closer, Yang Ling let out a slight snoring sound, and was already asleep.

Han Youniang was wearing a pair of slippers, a pair of cute little feet, rolling up her sleeves to reveal an arm, obviously wanting to scrub her husband, she looked at Yang Lingtian's sleeping face stupidly, and reached out to stroke his stubble, but she was afraid of waking him up.

Seeing Yang Ling's shoulders exposed outside the water, Han Youniang picked up a big towel, covered him gently, gently, gently, and then sat down by the pool, holding her chin with both hands, and looked at her man without blinking on the edge of the pool, the corners of her lips flashed a slight smile from time to time, and she didn't know what she thought of After a while, the little girl Yun'er tiptoed open the door and took a look, in the cabin, the old man was lying on the special big sleeping chair in the water and sleeping Xiangxiang, and the lady was lying on the edge of the pool, with her cheeks pillowing the back of her hands, and sleeping delicately and sweetly. Yun'er wanted to arouse Madame, thinking that it was not long before dawn, and Madame hadn't slept at all in the past few days, so she covered Madame with a thin blanket, and then retreated lightly.

The war horses in the front yard were brought into the corridor, and these guards who belonged to the four armies outside the country had to live in the house first, but fortunately, the place was big enough, and the north was a big kang, and the bedding was squeezed as soon as it was squeezed, and Rao was so busy for a long time.

Miss Yun'er is Madame's personal maid, and her status in the house is not comparable to other maidservants, so she has a strong sense of responsibility. When she saw that the front yard was still brightly lit and did not fall asleep, and that the old lady was sleeping soundly, she called her two sisters to look after her at the door of the cabin, and she carried a lantern and hurried to the front yard.

The front yard has been almost settled, and the executive's family saw that the guards had been arranged, knowing that these big men had an amazing amount of food, and they were afraid that they were all hungry for this toss, and they might not get up in the morning, so they had already ordered to cook porridge, steamed steamed buns, and hurriedly asked people to send them in room by room.

After finishing the work, he was telling his family to go to rest too, Yun'er came with a lantern, looked around, stepped forward and said politely: "Old housekeeper, are all arrangements made?" ”

The executive thought that Mrs. was not at ease, so she came out to ask, so she said with a smile: "Well, it's all arranged, it's going to go to bed with the lights off, Miss Yun'er is also very tired from taking care of Mrs. these days, go back and rest early."

The little girl pursed her lips and smiled, and said prettyly: "Well, the old housekeeper should rest early, and the maid will go back to the backyard."

At this moment, Liu Dabang walked out with a mallet, he changed his clothes again, holding a robe stained by a certain adult's fritters and a general's bean juice, and said angrily: "It's really annoying, I just have these three sets of clothes, I haven't changed this set when I go out of Beijing, and I can't wear the tattered ones. ”

Yun'er almost didn't laugh out loud when she heard this: "This stupid big man has only been out of Beijing for several months to wear a set of clothes, and he seems to be a clean person, which is quite interesting."

She stepped forward generously, snatched the clothes from Liu's mallet who was looking for a wooden basin everywhere, and said with a smile: "Don't look for it, people will help you wash it."

"You? No, no, no, that's not good, you're the one next to the eldest lady, and I'm a soldier, so I don't dare to let you do the laundry."

"Okay, okay, it's a big man, why is it my mother-in-law, I said to help you wash it, I want to wash it, I like to wash it for you? Let's go eat something and sleep."

"Oh", Liu Dabang took two steps back hesitantly, suddenly turned around, bit his thick lip, and said very seriously: "What's that, do you like me?" You like me, my mother said, in the future, I will ask for a daughter-in-law to go back to accompany his second elder, you are the eldest lady's person, you are from the city, and you can't go with me."

"Huh?" Yun'er's chin almost fell, her little face was like a big red cloth, her eyes widened and she said to Liu Dabang angrily: "Who is going to marry you?" No, I bah! Who likes you? ”

The little girl was so embarrassed that she stammered, and the tendons on her neck jumped. The executive looked funny, pursed his lips but couldn't come, what do you want him to say to this fool, it is better to pretend not to look at it, so as not to embarrass Miss Xiaoyun, the old housekeeper retreated under the eaves, and slipped out a few more times.

Liu Dabang said cowardly: "What my mother said, you are not my daughter-in-law, you are not my sister-in-law, and you are not my sister-in-law, why do you wash my clothes, how can a woman wash clothes for a strange man casually, my mother said."

"Fuck off your turtle eggs!" Miss Xiaoyun was embarrassed to see people, so she shoved her clothes into his hand, wiped her tears and ran away.

Liu Dabang said innocently: "Look, the heart is empty, right? ”

Wu Hanchao was sharp-eyed, and when he heard that the two had just talked, he left the room, and the whole process fell into his eyes, Xiaoyun is the person next to the eldest lady, this kid offended people and didn't know it, he is now Yang Ling's chief of guard, and the Yang Mansion will often come and go in the future, don't make enemies.

Wu Hanchao hurriedly stepped forward to stop Xiaoyun and said with a smile: "Don't blame the girl, this guy is actually a muddy person, with a mouth and no heart, why should the girl be as knowledgeable as him, I will ask him to compensate you."

Xiaoyun recognized him, and knew that he was now a big official under Yang Ling, and when his wife read the master's letter, she said that it seemed that the official was similar to the prefect's master, and she didn't dare to be presumptuous to this Lord Wu, so she stood up as she said.

Wu Hanchao walked over and scolded the big stick mallet for a few words, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't you want to compensate the girl?" Is that all you can say? Just go! ”

"What did I say wrong, as for it", Liu Dabang muttered in his heart, and took three steps in front of Miss Xiaoyun, stuffed the clothes into her hand, and said loudly very aggrievedly: "Okay, okay, okay, don't cry, I'll wash you, is it done?" ”
