Zhengde hesitated slightly: "The year before last, the Tartars almost attacked Datong, and when the king ran to the capital to cry to his father, he saw me once, if I saw him."

He suddenly raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Go and go, I'm a guard, I can't see him, if I stay here all day long and what's the difference between being here and in Beijing?" ”

The two were talking and laughing, when suddenly a guard came in and reported: "Lord Yu, Lord Hu has returned to the city and is entering the mansion."

This guard also knew Zhengde's identity, but Yang Ling had already ordered him to go down, and everyone should not show a little strange when they saw Zhengde, so as not to arouse the alarm of those who were interested, because he didn't dare to see the emperor, but just glanced at him.

Yang Ling was stunned, Governor Hu is back? Although his rank is higher than his own, but after all, he bears the name of Qincha, and the real power is far beyond his reach, why don't you wait to report it? That's a faux pas.

Yang Ling was about to go to the study to meet Hu Zhan, when he heard a loud shout outside: "Qincha station, don't break in."

Immediately, another voice also shouted: "Blind your dog eyes, I am Hu Zhan, the governor of Datong, except for His Royal Highness the Acting King, I am respected by Hu, where can I break in?" ”

Drink! This governor is too arrogant, isn't he? Yang Ling didn't know how Hu Zan was an official, but after hearing these words, his first impression was that this governor was too domineering.

Yang Ling glanced at Zhengde, pushed the door and said, "Let him come!" Governor Hu, although the rank of this official is lower than yours, he is on the orders of the Qincha, where the Qincha is, is it also your hard work? ”

As he spoke, he flashed his eyes, only to see that the guards of Ouchi had stopped a civil official, who was now separated from the left and right, and the official was sven, white and clean-skinned, and he looked less than fifty years, but he did not look like a high-flying official, and his anger disappeared a little.

Unexpectedly, when the governor Hu saw him, his face became even more angry, he clenched his fists, and walked vigorously, without waiting for his master to lead the way, and went straight into the room proudly.

Yang Ling was inexplicable, he didn't know where he offended him, he waved his hand patiently, signaled the guards to retreat, turned around and followed Hu Zan into the room, there were only Zhengde and Zhang Yong in the room, although Zhengde was still dressed in a captain's clothes, but stood in front.

Hu Zan was admitted to the Jinshi, and later promoted to the left servant of the household department, and then enlarged the same governor, all of which were the affairs of the Hongzhi Dynasty, after the new emperor ascended the throne, he had not seen the Son of Heaven, Hu Zan looked at Zhengde carefully, hesitated and did not dare to meet casually, and saw Yang Ling flash and followed, and immediately asked: "Where is the holy driver?" ”

Yang Ling's face changed, and he asked in surprise, "Master Hu, what are you talking about?" ”

Hu Zan sneered, took out a letter from his sleeve and said: "General Yang, you blocked the three university scholars in Juyong Pass, they can't enter the pass, but the military post express is several times faster than your trip, you are so bold, you dare to bring the emperor to such a dangerous place, let me ask you, where is the holy car?" ”

Hu Zan seemed to have taken medicine, staring at Yang Ling with red eyes, Zhengde coughed lightly when he saw this, and said: "I am here, Hu Aiqing doesn't have to question Yang Qing, I am going to go out of Beijing, Yang Qing is just acting on orders."

Hu Zan turned around and saw the eunuch in the python dragon robe standing behind the captain, bowed slightly to him, and hurriedly took a step forward and said: "Hu Zhan, the governor of Weichen Datong, knock to see the emperor."

Zhengde said with a smile: "Aiqing is flat, I am out of Beijing, there are few people who know, don't make a noise." I know that the three bachelors are bitter and worried about my safety, but I have come to Datong because of extremely important state affairs, and I didn't plan to hide this matter from you and Yang Yiqing, but I just wanted to talk about it later."

Hu Zan got up and said with a straight face: "No matter what the big thing is, it should be shared by the subordinates for the emperor, how can it be reasonable for the Son of Heaven to be involved in dangerous places?" Datong is in a panic and chaos, and it is not advisable to stay for a long time. The minister asked the emperor to return immediately. ”

Zhengde is happy, this governor is interesting, even if Liu Jian and Xie Qian were in the Manchu Dynasty, the three bachelors did not dare to give orders to the emperor so bluntly, and dared to love him not only to Yang Ling, the emperor, but also to the emperor in the same tone.

Zhengde sat down on the chair nonchalantly, crossed Erlang's legs and said: "I have said, there is a very important state affair here, before the matter is completed, I don't want to go back to Beijing, if Hu Aiqing wants to know the details, you can ask Yang Qing, otherwise please go back."

Hu Zhan's face turned red, and he glared at Zhengde like a cockfight: "The lord is worried about the minister's labor, the lord humiliates the minister's death, sit back and watch the emperor fall into danger, the minister will not atone for his sin if he dies, the emperor will not return to Beijing, and the minister will die in front of the emperor!" ”

Zhengde was stunned, and only after a while did he laugh and said, "What kind of truth is this?" Didn't you threaten me with death? I won't go back to Beijing, and I won't allow you to die, so go down."

Hu Zan said loudly: "The minister is coming today, you must persuade the emperor to return to Beijing, if the emperor does not leave, it is the minister's dereliction of duty, and there is only one death", said and reached into his arms, Zhengde was shocked, and shouted: "You bring a knife to drive?" ”

Yang Ling also flew in front of Zhengde, held down the saber, Hu Zan said: "Bringing a knife to drive without permission is a major crime of rebellion, the minister will never dare, the ancients were loyal and forceful, and died by touching the pillar."

Hu Zan said, while looking around, he didn't see a pillar in the room, so he said: "The gentleman loves the king but not his body, there are many ways to die, and the minister has been prepared." ”

As he spoke, he took out a paper bag from his sleeve, shook off the medicine and swallowed it in his mouth. Yang Ling was shocked, and before he could rush over, Zhengde reacted faster, jumped up in one step, rushed past Yang Ling, grabbed Hu Zhan's wrist and snatched the paper bag down.

The end of the medicine sprinkled Zhengde's hand, Zhang Yong didn't know what kind of poison it was, whether it was harmful to the skin, so he screamed, and immediately rushed in a few guards to restrain Hu Zhan, Zhang Yong asked someone to hurriedly bring in water, first wiped Zhengde's hands with a dry towel, and washed it a few times.

Yang Ling frowned and said: "Lord Governor, the emperor personally patrols the border, for the sake of the country, this important matter, unless the emperor can't do it, why do you play the trick of death at every turn?" ”

Hu Zan said angrily: "The Venerable of Ten Thousand Vehicles, how can you take the danger lightly? 'Civil and Engineering Change' is a lesson from the past, do you want to harm the Ming Dynasty and harm yourself? ”

Yang Ling couldn't help but be furious, and said awe-inspiringly: "All the words are from the past and the past, why don't you go further?" Why don't you say that Emperor Hongwu's blood-stained robe has laid down thousands of miles of rivers and mountains? Why don't you say that Emperor Yongle made five expeditions to the north and the achievements of Rong Ma's life? Throughout the ages, whenever encountering external humiliation and internal troubles, which promising son of heaven only emphasizes civil governance and not martial arts? ”

Yang Ling was impassioned, and said loudly: "The courtiers are loyal to the king, and the auxiliary monarch is the responsibility, you have a loyal heart, and you should also fulfill the responsibility of the auxiliary monarch, do you want to assist the current emperor in the martial arts, a generation of emperors who are wise and mighty, or do you want to protect the current emperor in the Forbidden City, and want the young son of heaven not to go out of the palace gate, not understand human feelings, and be a nominal symbol of the court and a puppet worshiped by all the people?"

Yang Ling's words shocked Hu Zhan, and he was speechless for a while.

Yang Ling sighed and said: "Since the governor knows that the emperor is here, he still assists the official to do a good job in the defense of Datong, and the emperor will be as safe as Mount Tai here." The emperor is here, there is an extremely important matter to do, is Governor Hu willing to listen to the details of this official now? ”

Hu Zan was silent for a long time before he arched his hand and said angrily: "I want to hear it!" But the tone was no longer strong.

Yang Ling smiled slightly, bowed to Zhengde and said, "The emperor is resting, and the ministers will retreat first to discuss with Lord Hu."

Zhengde hurriedly waved his hand and said, "You go, you go."

Watching the two of them exit the door, Zhengde sat back on the chair and said to Zhang Yong with relief: "This surnamed Hu is too scary, there is nothing to do, don't let me see him again."

Yang Ling and Hu Zan talked in the room for most of the hour, Hu Zan understood the purpose of the emperor's coming, although he is a civil official, he has been familiar with the military in Datong for a long time, and naturally knows that if he can pull Duoyan Sanwei over, not only will he reduce the danger outside the Great Wall, but in the long run, it will be very beneficial.

If we can really change the mutual market of small fights in the past, make tea and horse transactions with Duoyan Sanwei, and turn the Hetao area into a good horse supply place for the Ming Dynasty, we can completely change the strategic situation of the Ming army being good at defending but not attacking.

However, when he thought of the emperor in danger, Hu Zan was frightened, and he hesitated: "Datong City has thick walls, and there are tens of thousands of troops under the Yang general system outside the city.

Yang Ling said: "I will naturally save this, and I will never let the emperor get into danger."

Hu Zan said again: "His Royal Highness the Acting King is in charge of Datong, and the emperor has a great deal to do here, has he informed the Acting King?" ”

In the past, Zhu Yuanzhang divided the sons, and the thirteenth son, Zhu Gui, was one of the nine kings of the Biansai. There are three kings in Shanxi, the king of Jin is stationed in Taiyuan, the king of Dai is stationed in Datong, and the king of Shen is stationed in Lu'an.

Unlike the kings of the Central Plains, they have the right to intervene in the local military and political affairs, and the so-called upper horse is in charge of the army, and the lower horse is in charge of the ministers, and they exercise the power of the imperial border on behalf of the emperor.

So don't look at the trilateral general system here, there is the governor of the supreme military and political head, but the real supreme ruler and commander of Datong is the acting king, and the contemporaneous king and the king of Shen are controlled by the king of Jin.

Yang Ling hesitated slightly: "Don't tell the acting king about this matter for the time being, the acting king will definitely be panicked when he hears it, the acting king's mansion is mixed, in case the news is leaked before Duoyan Sanwei sends someone to discuss the alliance, Boyan Meng will inevitably obstruct it."

Hu Zan thought for a while, and said after a pause: "Okay, then the official will leave."

Hu Zan frowned, said goodbye and left worriedly, and did not even return to the governor's yamen, so he rushed to the city and sent more people to arrange the city defense.

Datong Han's Leather Merchants, which is a leather dealer that has just been established, has become one of the few large leather merchants in Datong in just half a year.

Since the severance of trade with the Tatar horse market, the special products of the north and the south have all relied on the transportation of non-governmental goods, which is close to the point of semi-smuggling and semi-legal, and such a volume of goods is obviously difficult to supply the large demand of merchants from all over the country.

And Han Lin can respond to requests, no matter what grade of leather goods you want, how many pieces, Han's leather goods store does not hesitate, plus the store owner Han Lin is bold, fair trading, and has the style of the people of the four seas, so the business is getting bigger and bigger, and the southern leather merchants go north to do business, and most of them choose to trade with the Han family.

Han's leather merchant is on the most prosperous East Street in Datong, not far from the palace of the king, the left side of the business house is a carriage and horse shop, and the right side is a very luxurious 'Zhuangyuan Building' inn, concurrently engaged in restaurant business.

Because wars and heavy snowfall usually occur in winter, the rules of the leather goods shop here are closed in winter, although the Han family still has a small number of customers coming to the door, most of the helpers have also gone home to the winter, and the courtyard is deserted.

A short man in an old sheepskin jacket and fast boots with non-slip strips of leather staggered upstairs, pushed open the door and took off a sheepskin warm hat that could cover his mouth and nose, revealing a round face with a red fluttering face.

He first lifted the big teapot on the table and poured it, then wiped his mouth and said excitedly: "Dad, I saw my brother-in-law, he has now lived in the post house."

There is a clay pot on the charcoal stove, and the tender mutton with condiments is tumbling and tumbling, and the meat is full of aroma, and there are dried lotus leaves, walnut kernels and other side dishes on the table.

A sturdy man in his forties with rough facial features put down the orange-brown wine gourd, glared and said, "Little rabbit, do I still need you to say?" Let's take root here, we can't let people know about our relationship with your brother-in-law, you didn't miss the stuffing, right? ”

The little guy is naturally Han Mancang, he smiled and said proudly: "Where can I Dad, I saw my brother-in-law, and I followed his army all the way, but he didn't see me." Dad, when did you say my brother-in-law would come to see us? I really miss him, I miss my sister even more, hehe, my sister is about to give birth to a baby, I'm going to be an uncle, I am happy to think about it."

Han Lin scolded his son, but his eyebrows and eyes opened, and he was obviously very happy, he sighed and said: "The Wu Hanchao Wu Gongzi sent by your brother-in-law only came out of the city the day before yesterday, and there was a war outside, he took the small road, although there is someone I sent to lead the way, I'm afraid that he hasn't reached the ground at this time, and your brother-in-law has to live here for a while."

He raised his big finger slightly and said: "Ling Er is accompanying this person, that's a big deal, I'm afraid he won't come to see us immediately, don't worry, tell the guys to straighten their ears, pay attention to all the movements of the three sects and nine streams in the city, don't spoil your brother-in-law's big business."

Han Mancang sat on the bench in disappointment, grabbed his father's wine gourd and took a sip of wine, then quickly picked up a piece of mutton from the can, blew it slightly and stuffed it into his mouth, and then said: "Well, Dad doesn't have to worry too much about this, but there are strangers in the city, none of them can hide the eyes of my partners, who will be wary of some children running around the city?" ”

"That's right", Han Mancang leaned on the table, kicked his feet and said, "Have the businessmen who live in the Zhuangyuan Building found out?" It's not often that they come to do business at this time, but their shopkeeper is still lagging behind, and they have been staying here for seven or eight days, which is really strange."

Han Lin shook his head and said, "I haven't found anything yet, maybe it's a new businessman who doesn't understand the seasons and market here." The housewife and a few servants were all nested in the inn, not like people with any intentions.

The servants know how to use martial arts, and they have no doubt about their paths, and I tell the men of the inn to keep an eye on them, just in case."

'Zhuangyuan Building' is the largest inn in Datong, has a history of more than 100 years, the princess of the first generation of Wang Zhu Gui is the second daughter of the famous general Xu Da, this woman is quite a father's style, although the appearance is ordinary, but there is a good martial arts, when she married to the palace she brought a girl surnamed Song is also proficient in martial arts, and later left the palace to marry, opened this champion building here.

There is the relationship of the royal palace on behalf of the king, the restaurant is getting bigger and bigger, and gradually develops into a restaurant, an inn, a gambling hall, a record of the courtyard in one of the gold caves, this champion building occupies a very large area, although there are many businesses, but they have their own separate courtyards, that is, the inn is also divided into three buildings, so the three religions and nine streams are willing to live here, the dragon and snake are mixed, it is the easiest place to hear the news.

Although Datong is a place of war, but this kind of place is the most easy to get rich, after more than 100 years, the descendants of this restaurant made a lot of money, the year before last the Tartars almost invaded the city, the shopkeeper scared enough, do not want to live here anymore, but can come up with a large amount of money to plate down this champion building is too few people, so it has been dragged down, when the inner factory forces opened up here, it was secretly put down, and still claimed to be the Song family's business to the outside world, but secretly it was Han Lin in charge.

The first floor is a mid-range inn in the champion building, which is in line with the identity of the leather merchant. Only the lady and a few men came to live in this family, and rented three rooms in a row at the corner of the second floor, the middle one was for the lady to live, and the two on both sides were for domestic servants.

This lady walks in a hurry, acts and speaks like a man, is very rude, although the figure is quite moving, but the face is freckles and pockmarks, but this lady also likes to wear heavy makeup, painted a pair of bewitching thin eyebrows, but under the nose is a bloody mouth, even the well-informed maid in the store does not like to look at it.

When they arrived here, they claimed that the shopkeeper had been delayed, and the lady could not be the master, so they were waiting for the shopkeeper to arrive, which had been seven or eight days, and the leather merchant had just brought a bookkeeper and six men to the inn, and the men had already been instructed by Han Lin, and while making someone quietly inform Han Lin, he brought a basin of water and sent it upstairs.

In the room, Yang Hu hugged his beloved wife, and only let go for a long time, and said excitedly: "But I'm worried about death, I didn't expect to be ambushed by Yang Ling's dog official that night, and even the place where the horse is hidden has already had ambushes, so I know that it is not good, I am afraid that he has already found out the details of you and me, and there must be ambushes in the mansion in Beijing, so I had to flee far away with a few injured brothers."

I sent someone into Beijing to inquire about your news, but I heard that you caught Yang Ling and escaped from the city with him as a hostage. The brother who carried the letter didn't make it clear."

Cui Ying'er was also very excited when she saw her husband for the first time, and then her emotions eased down, remembering that her husband was greedy for profit and did not listen to his own advice, but under the bewitchment of Liu Laodao, he killed Gao Laozhuang, and caused him to lose 200 cronies in vain, and he couldn't help but glare at him hatefully, and his face turned cold.

She turned her eyes to see that the old servant pretending to be a domestic servant on the side was looking at her with a smile, and hurriedly stepped forward and whispered, "Fifth Uncle."

The old village in Yang Hu's mouth is the mountain of the Cui family, Cui Yinger's old father and a vote of old brothers in the past years across the green forest, is a very prominent figure on the green forest road in the north, when he is old, he does not want to mix on the road anymore, and there is only one daughter, so he wants to control more than a dozen cottages to stand on his own, and he and a group of old brothers retreated to Panlongling in the dense forest, relying on the belongings accumulated when they were young and planting some medicinal materials and food in the mountains to live for a long time.

The fifth uncle in Cui Ying'er's mouth is a member of the Cui family's old village, and Cui Boss is a brother who is proficient in eagle claw kung fu, he watched Cui Yinger grow up since she was a child, and treated her like a blood relative.

He patted Cui Ying'er on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Don't be sad, the fifth uncle has heard that you can make such a big battle in Jingshi, it's amazing, a group of uncles and uncles in the cottage feel that their faces are glorified when they hear it."

Yang Hu was used to being ridiculed by Cui Ying'er, and he didn't feel angry, so he still said impatiently: "Lady, since you escaped from Beijing, why didn't you kill that Yang Ling easily, but let him go back with dignity, I really don't understand after hearing about it, what kind of morality do you talk to the officers and soldiers?" ”

Cui Ying'er glanced at him coldly, didn't answer his words, but asked instead: "I asked you to come to Datong, why did you bring the fifth uncle here?" The people of the Cui family's cottage have withdrawn from the rivers and lakes, and they don't use their muscles and bones as their ability, the fifth uncle is old, do you still want him to follow him? ”

Yang Hu was suffocated, and the fifth uncle hurriedly smiled and said, "Look at the two of you, you will talk when you meet!" Yang Hu is not to blame for this, you are making such a fuss in Beijing, the officers and soldiers have been ruthless in the Bazhou area, and many cottages have been uprooted, if it were not for our old village in the depths of the forest, it would inevitably be affected.

Huzi lost two hundred of his most powerful helpers at once, and he had to pull out the village and relocate, employing people everywhere, and listening to your summons to tell him to come to Datong in a hurry, he couldn't draw a powerful helper. Boss Cui felt sorry for my uncle and was worried that something would happen to you, so I volunteered to follow."

When he said this, he suddenly walked to the door, Huo Di opened the door, and the guy who had just crept to the door outside the door was startled, and a basin of water was almost spilled on the ground, and he hurriedly smiled: "Drink, the old man opened the door, but the little one was startled, and the shopkeeper arrived, all the way to the dust, and the small one sent a basin of water."

A woman inside said in a sharp voice: "Don't be sloppy, say it's only three days late, why did you come after seven or eight days?" Say, which vixen has charmed you? And you, don't help him be sloppy, if the old lady knows that you are hiding from me, she will turn around and break your dog's legs! ”

The shopkeeper took the opportunity to look inside, and saw the woman in a vulgar red satin cotton jacket, holding the ear of the seven-foot man with one hand, and pointing at a guy in front of him who was only smiling with a smile, and a bloody mouth was scolding angrily.

The fifth uncle, who pretended to be the bookkeeper, coughed dryly, gave the shopkeeper a look, and said, "I will call you when I use water, go down first, the lord and the lady are discussing business."

The shopkeeper couldn't hold back a laugh, hurriedly agreed, and hurriedly retreated with water. The fifth uncle waited for him to cross the corner, then closed the door, listened for a while, and then gestured to Yang Hu and the red lady, and said in a low voice: "There are many people in the store, go, go to the back room and say, you two stay outside."

Hu Dazhui and Black Harrier nodded, standing alertly on the side of the door, Yang Hu, Cui Ying'er and Fifth Uncle and several other people all avoided in the inner room, and the Red Lady told Liu Laodao and Cui'er to be people from the Maitreya Sect, and sent Yang Hu to Beijing to assassinate the emperor, and heard that the emperor was going to come to Datong to inspect, and he betrayed himself for fear of beating the grass and snakes.

These two news were like a thunderbolt from the sky, Yang Hu was dumbfounded, and he was stunned for a long time before he got erect, his teeth gritted loudly, and he said bitterly: "Maitreya Sect!" Maitreya! This group of people, I was actually used by them, my two hundred good brothers who were born and died! ”

He slammed his fist on the pillar, his face was pale, and his cheeks jumped suddenly.

A few brothers who had just arrived from the cottage knew the details, and they all gritted their teeth with hatred, and the room was silent for a while, and after a while, a brother suddenly changed color and said: "Liu Xian Liu Lao Dao is a member of the Maitreya Sect?" Dog! Then he said that Brother Hu is the reincarnation of Ziwei, and his words about having the appearance of an emperor are also false? ”

The few people next to him changed color when they heard this, and looked at each other, Yang Hu was shocked, and then he thought of the seriousness of the problem, the person who had no intention of saying this key point was called Feng Fuzhi, and he was also a good brother who followed him with all his heart, and when he saw everyone's expressions, he couldn't help but be speechless.

Yang Hu was a little annoyed, but it was inconvenient to have a seizure, or the fifth uncle was old and refined, and hurriedly said: "The rivers and mountains are all made by people, who has ever heard that he is destined to be the emperor and can sit in the world without having to work hard?" Unless it's the crown prince of the current emperor.

Song Taizu and Zhu Hongwu are all side by side with a group of good brothers who have laid thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, why have they already had the appearance of emperors, and they have not been done before someone wears and chisels? We are engaged in robbers and horse thieves, and we have long pinned our heads to the waistband of our trousers, and no one is a bad breed, and we may not be able to beat the country if we work hard.

Okay, let's have a good discussion, Ying'er just said, Maitreya also wants to rebel, it is the troubled times that produce heroes, it depends on who can fight and who can fight. Didn't Yang Ling lead the army into the city today? According to Ying'er's words, Emperor Zhengde must also be in the army, let's think about how to avenge the dead brother and how to kill Zhengde."

Yang Hu was secretly grateful in his heart, and hurriedly took over the conversation and said: "What the fifth uncle said is that it seems that the Maitreya Sect should also follow, we should pay more attention to Yang Ling's movements, the Maitreya Church drives wolves and fights tigers, don't we heroes on the Green Forest Road understand this?" It was difficult for the emperor to get out of Beijing, and he took advantage of the chaos, so he found an opportunity to kill him! ”

The red lady said: "I don't agree. All the way to Datong, the road disaster victims, these days I have thought carefully, Maitreya in the dark, we are in the light, the officers and soldiers are encircling and suppressing the cottage, if the emperor has an accident here, this account is bound to be counted on our heads, and then it will be the soldiers of the whole country to deal with us, and it will be light to cut the grass and eradicate the roots."

She glanced at everyone with different expressions, and said: "And the Tartars are fighting outside the pass, we are doing things for the heavens, if the emperor dies at this time, what if the Tartars take advantage of the chaos to enter the customs?" We, the people of Bazhou, suffered first. Say it again".

Her eyes were hazy, and she said abruptly after a while: "Can we really win the world?" If we fight, will we rule the world? We originally said that we eat big households, don't pay taxes, and don't force people to raise horses, that is not a family that doesn't know the price of firewood and rice, and doesn't have backache when standing and talking, and really does the world, can you do it if you don't do this? ”

Everyone looked at her in amazement, wondering why she said such a statement, Yang Hu was already indignant: "According to what you say, my two hundred brothers will die in vain?" This revenge will not be avenged? ”

The red lady bit her lip and said softly: "Let's go to the murderer's house, do you want people to stretch their necks and wait for us to cut them?" We think that killing the rich and helping the poor is the way to do it for heaven, so isn't it justified for the government to catch thieves? What's more, he is doing it for self-preservation.

There is a head for injustice, there is a master for debts, it's not that Liu Laodao is talking nonsense, the emperor star will be destroyed, and we won't bring people to Beijing, I hate it! Hate only hates to use Maitreya as a gunman, Maitreya is hidden in the shadows, we don't know where the helm is, we don't know where the leader is, and there is no way to talk about revenge."

There was a flash of stars in her eyes, and she hated: "Can we kill the emperor in the midst of thousands of troops?" Besides, the Maitreya Sect also wants to kill the emperor, they have big roots and deep roots, they must have been prepared, and once the emperor dies, they must have a careful plan to seize the world.

Our forces have been damaged too much by the government, and it is difficult to compete with them, if we kill the emperor, won't we make a dowry for others? Maitreya has a deep blood feud with us, what they want to do, I will not let him succeed, I want to wait for Maitreya to do something, follow the shadows to do some tricks, and make this matter confirmed that it was Maitreya who did it, and lead this fire to Maitreya."

Yang Hu was angry and annoyed, in his heart, didn't he think that the group of demons who walked the streets and alleys pretended to be ghosts and bewitched the villagers was anything great, Bazhou horse thieves were everywhere, and even the officers and soldiers of the guard were terrified, not to mention a group of people who could only pick hoes, relying on them to win the world?

In his heart, he always thought that the current court was the biggest obstacle to his great achievements, killing the emperor, the Ming Dynasty was leaderless, and the ambitious vassal kings everywhere would definitely fight for me, even if the Maitreya Sect also took the opportunity to cause trouble, he still felt that the chances of winning were greater.

Now I heard my wife say such deflating words in front of her own henchmen, and she still wanted to protect the emperor and use the strength of officers and soldiers to deal with Maitreya, which is really a little belly. If a woman hates someone, how can she be so unreasonable?

Yang Hu couldn't help but say angrily: "What if a woman is knowledgeable, what if they are used? Even if there is no them, we will have to deal with the imperial court sooner or later, and now that they have the idea of playing Zhengde, we are just fishing in troubled waters, this opportunity is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, how can we miss it? ”

The red lady got up and said angrily: "What's wrong with women's knowledge? How can you be taken advantage of if you have knowledge? How many books have you read? I think our original plan is really too shallow, we are still good at fighting and killing, I don't understand these big truths, do you understand? ”

Yang Hu was also angry, and said with a smile and a smile: "What is this called?" Why did you suddenly get back to reading? Could it be that your great truth was told to you by Mr. Teaching? ”

"I", the red lady choked for a moment, and stomped her feet hatefully: "I don't know, I know that the Maitreya Sect is our enemy, they want to kill the emperor, I want to use the emperor to kill them." I know that if you take advantage of the move, the brothers of the cottage, as well as their parents, wives and children, will all follow you and have nowhere to hide, but let the Maitreya sect pick up a big bargain, and I can't swallow this breath."

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel again, the fifth uncle hurriedly said: "Yang Ling just arrived in Datong today, and he won't leave for a while, whether we do it or not, we are not in a hurry today, and it is not too late for us to find out their roots before making plans, you husband and wife escaped death, just met, don't hurt your feelings again."

After he finished speaking, he said to Yang Huyi: "I haven't bothered to eat a full meal all the way, let's go, let's hurry up and wash up and go eat something first and drink two glasses."

The red lady snorted heavily, twisted her waist, sat on the bed with her buttocks, and turned her head away from talking angrily.

Yang Hu was pulled out by the fifth uncle, and the other brothers saw that the situation was not good, so they hurriedly followed. Feng Fuzhi whispered to a brother next to him: "I think what my sister-in-law said makes sense, besides, the mountain gate has been smashed, and some cottages have doubts about the destiny of the eldest brother, if Liu Laodao is Maitreya."

"Shhh", the other person saw that Yang Hu and his wife were both on fire, and hurriedly pulled his shirt, Feng Fuzhi hurriedly shut up. However, Yang Hu's ears are very sharp, and he has heard the whispers of the two clearly, he is on the fire, and when he hears this frustrating words, he can't wait to give Feng Fuzhi a big ear slap with his backhand.

Yang Hu endured his anger and walked forward, thinking of Feng Fuzhi's words, he couldn't help but be secretly frightened, his own cottage brother had nothing to say, he must be trustworthy, but in the past two years, he has recruited troops and expanded rapidly, and many of the cottages he has subdued are intimidated by his force, or obsessed with the rumors of his true destiny, if this news spreads

If these brothers are secretly instructed to conceal this matter, isn't it clear that they are deceiving people, and that they even suspect their own fate? Who on the green forest road doesn't know that the eldest brother Yang Hu is a bright and upright man, how can he say this to them?

As Yang Hu walked, he secretly pondered the solution, and as he walked, an evil thought suddenly swept through his heart, making Yang Hu himself secretly startled, he quickly raised his head, and didn't even dare to think about it again.

Early in the morning, Yang Ling and Zhang Yong rushed to the palace with two hundred relatives to meet the king, Zhengde was comfortable in the guards, he was a positive angle wherever he went in the past, and the words and deeds of the stars holding the moon should pay attention to some imperial demeanor, and now he is relaxed, Looking at the low houses on the side of the road, the soldiers passing by idly, and the vendors who took advantage of the New Year to carry carts and sell on the streets, it seemed very novel.

Even if he is a dignified Ninety-Five Supreme and the co-master of the world, mixed in these guards, it seems that he is an ordinary guard, and when he looks at it from the outside, no one may be able to see what difference he makes.

The palace of the king is located on the east street, the north is south, there are four gates: Donghua Gate in the east, Xihua Gate in the west, Houzai Gate in the north, and Duanli Gate in the south. Duanli Gate is the main gate of the palace, and there are tall walls of rammed bricks around the palace, making it a reading compound isolated from the outside world, and the common people call it "the imperial city".

In front of the Duanli door, a huge wall of more than ten zhang long and nearly three zhang high, with peacock blue, green, yellow, yellow, medium yellow, light yellow, purple and other colors of glaze to build a magnificent wall, Sumeru seat on the flat to 9 glazed wall dragons.

The lower part of the wall is turquoise turquoise waves, and the upper part is blue clouds and yellow flowing clouds. The dragons are separated by clouds, flowing clouds, waves, mountain cliffs and aquatic plants, which are colorful and magnificent.

This Nine Dragon Wall is much larger than the wall of the Imperial Palace in Beijing, the thirteenth son of the emperor Zhu Gui and Yan Wang Zhu Di were born to the same mother, and the relationship between them is much closer to the prince, and the princesses of the two are the daughters of Xu Da, the relationship is more intimate.

Later, the brutal princess entered Beijing to see the wall in Beijing, and when she came back, she had to build a bigger one than the capital on behalf of the king.

Yang Ling and Zhang Yong handed over the stickers, and after a while, the head of the palace came out with two little eunuchs from the inside, Yang Ling and Zhang Yong hurriedly dismounted, and the head of the palace smiled with a spring breeze on his face: "The prince heard that the two lords of the Qin mission have arrived, and they like it very much, and the slaves and maids came to greet each other, two adults, please."

Yang Ling and Zhang Yong hurriedly responded with a smile, and each brought eight guards to enter the palace accompanied by the acting head of the palace. Through the carrier gate, the carrier hall, the Chongxin gate, the heart of the hall, to the west to the Yin'an Palace, this is the main hall of the palace.

The water grinding green bricks on the ground are square and neat, and the grinding bricks are seams, smooth as a mirror. The acting king was dressed in a python dragon robe and greeted him with a smile, the acting king was in his fifties, with a white face and a slight beard, short and chubby, but he looked very kind.

Although the two of them are Qincha, the acting king is a royal family, so there is no need to be so polite, but these two are the most favored ministers around the emperor, and the acting king of this generation is low-key, so he doesn't want to annoy them.

Although Datong is depressed a lot because of the harsh winter and war, it is a different scene in the palace of the king, a hall and a hall, a brick and a pillar, a flower and a wood, all have ingenuity, the vermilion lacquer chalk on the Yin'an Palace, the carved beams and paintings are really brilliant, the luxury and dignity are extreme.

The two are Qincha, the prince first bowed to the courtiers, greeted the emperor, the two stood upright, and received the salute on behalf of Zhengde, and then bowed to the king, the two sides were polite, and then the guests and hosts sat down.

After greeting for a long time, the acting king asked: "The emperor invited the two adults to go to Datong to work and inspect the border war, I don't know when the two will summon Yang Yiqing back to the city?" ”

Yang Ling replied: "Back to the prince, the lower officials heard that the battle ahead is very urgent, and General Yang is the commander-in-chief, so he can't leave the battlefield rashly, so I want to go to Zhenqiang Fort with Gonggong Zhang to visit Lord Yang and inspect the defense there."

The acting king smiled, his two eyes narrowed into slits, and he kept nodding and said: "Very good, very good, this year the Tartars are heavily gathered, and the king is really worried, fortunately, the emperor sent Yang Yiqing, a cadre, and the battle is impressive, which should be rewarded." ”

He raised the teacup, took a sip of tea, and said with a smile: "Although there is a war, but the king wants to accept the side concubine, and the emperor has already allowed it, this matter cannot be delayed.

If the prince accepts an ordinary concubine, he does not need to show the emperor, but the side concubine is also a princess, and he must ask the emperor to issue an edict and wear it into the royal family genealogy. This prince is about fifty years old, and he also made a big move to get a concubine with status to pass through the door, and it seems that he loves that girl very much.

Yang Ling and Zhang Yong saw him serving tea, they had already stood up, and when they heard this, they couldn't help but smile at each other, and they all leaned over and said: "It turns out that the prince has a great happy event, congratulations, after five days, the lower officials will definitely come to the palace to congratulate." The prince was busy with affairs, and the two officials didn't dare to disturb much, so they took their leave! ”
