Emperor Hongzhi stood up in shock and anger, pointed at Yang Ling, and was so angry that he couldn't speak for a while.

In fact, he admired Yang Ling very much. A few days ago, Yang Ling's views on military affairs, Hongzhi later mentioned to Liu Daxia, although Liu Daxia felt that there were still many details to be scrutinized, but he also had positive opinions on his opinions, thinking that he was indeed excellent and insightful, and he did not hesitate to praise him.

Yang Ling read the prince, did not talk about the four books and five classics, only talked about the mountains and rivers, customs and customs, and even the affairs of foreign countries, Hongzhi had his own ears and eyes, and he had already known in advance. However, Hongji himself was quite good at music and painting, and his courtiers often repeatedly commented on this, fearing that the emperor would delay this and miss government affairs. Every time Hongji heard it, he just laughed it off, thinking that it was a sour opinion, so he didn't think much of the prince's erudition.

In his mind, Yang Ling is the first talent in Xuanfu, and his knowledge is naturally not bad, but now he doesn't speak the words of a sage, but starts from the side door, and he also knows the prince's spleen surname, so he gave up 'reading thousands of books' and used the method of 'traveling thousands of miles' to teach the prince, which is quite painstaking, so he is extremely appreciative.

But now he is here to teach the prince the way of the king, quite a few tricks that are not humane to outsiders, and now he is hidden in the dark by Yang Ling to listen, Rao is Hongzhi has always been generous, and he does not feel annoyed and ashamed.

He glanced at Yang Ling coldly, and said with a sigh of relief: "Yang Attendant, are you just startled?" ”

Yang Ling ate and said: "Your Majesty, the ministers don't know what Your Majesty means."

Hongzhi patted the book case and said word by word: "Yang Ling, yesterday the prince was out of the palace, where did he go?" Today, Li Dongyang's impeachment of Zhang Heling is an excerpt, but it was from your instructions? ”

Yang Ling felt a chill in his heart: "How secretive is this matter, how can the emperor know?" Could it be that there are eyes and ears of the emperor among the eight tigers? No, it won't, if it was the Eight Tigers who reported the news, the emperor would have prevented the prince from leaving the palace without permission, and he wouldn't know about it afterwards, so who leaked the news? East Factory? Jin Yiwei? They won't tear down their own platform, who else can they be? ”

Yang Ling thought about it and his body was shocked, and he suddenly remembered that he heard that the West Factory had been secretly established, could it be the all-pervasive West Factory secret agent? The re-establishment of the West Factory is extremely secret, and it has not yet been officially disclosed, and I don't know who the overseer of the West Factory is, and most of the members of the West Factory have secret identities, are they from the West Factory?

He knelt down and thought wildly, Hongzhi said angrily: "You are bold and bold, instigating the prince to leave the palace, enter the land of fireworks, and beat the Hou family, that's it, as a courtier, when you impeach others, you can't be honest and straightforward to the king, but you secretly use tricks, control the ministers, and use the king, it's really your heart that can be punished!" ”

The more the emperor spoke, the more angry he became, and he slapped it heavily on the bookcase, Yang Ling couldn't help but shudder, the most taboo for the emperor is to oppress the lord, and the most hated thing is to play tricks in front of the king, although Hongzhi thought that he saw that the ministers were encroaching on the people's interests, so he asked for the people's lives, but he thought that he deceived the prince when he was young, and used stratagems to use the prince, which was a taboo for the Son of Heaven.

As the saying goes, a companion is like a tiger, if Hongzhi is angry, will he be stingy when he beheads a small attendant? The more Yang Ling thought about it, the more frightened he became, and he fell to the ground and didn't know how to explain. Zhu Houzhao had the heart to intercede for him, but seeing his father's face full of anger, he didn't dare to speak easily for a while.

At this moment, Miao Kui's voice outside the door said: "Mrs. Jin, the emperor is checking the prince's homework, you should go to the harem first, and when the emperor returns to the palace, he will definitely see you."

Then I only heard a woman's voice say: "Get out, I'm going to see the emperor now, the emperor, the concubine is wronged, the emperor, be the master of the concubine!" ”

Hongji said angrily: "What's the matter? ”

Miao Kui opened the door of the palace and said with sincere fear: "Your Majesty, Mrs. Jin."

Before he finished speaking, he was pushed away, and a noble lady who was about fifty years old rushed in, saw Hongzhi and knelt on the ground, crying and crying: "Your Majesty, the concubine has been wronged, Heling has always been peaceful, and he doesn't dare to do anything wrong, how can he forcibly occupy private houses, sell official salt, and forcibly marry a woman in a green house?" It was Li Dongyang who was jealous of the emperor's favor and believed in Heling, so he slandered and begged the emperor to be the master of his concubines, woo woo woo that child has never been in prison when he is so old, emperor."

Hongzhi frowned, and said softly: "Mrs. Jin, please get up, Marquis Shouning has lost his courtesy in the Golden Palace, I just slightly punished him, I have already told the queen that I will pardon him from prison in a few days, don't panic."

Yang Ling looked at the woman kneeling beside him, and said in his heart: "Is this the mother-in-law of the emperor today?" It's great, I hope that if she breaks down, the emperor will forget to punish me."

Mrs. Jin did not give up, and continued to cry: "Your Majesty, Li Dongyang chased and beat Heling on the Golden Palace, he couldn't be provoked, so he grabbed the hammer and beat people, I really can't complain about Heling, how can this child have any sins?" The emperor wants to punish him, and he should severely punish Li Dongyang, please let him go."

Hongzhi Tie blushed, his fat body was panting because of excitement, Zhu Houzhao hurriedly supported him, and said worriedly: "Father, you can sit down with your heart and don't be too excited."

Hongzhi sat on the couch, and when he saw Mrs. Jin crying endlessly, his heart became more and more angry, and in a blink of an eye, he saw Yang Ling kneeling there, and Gu Dayong was also probing his brain at the door, and couldn't help but point at Gu Dayong with hatred, and scolded: "Bastard thing, get in for me!" ”

Mrs. Jin was crying three times, she was stunned by his loud yell, and suddenly stopped crying, Gu Da ran in with a rolling belt, knelt on the ground, Hongzhi's face sank like water, and said sharply: "You bold things, you dare to encourage the prince to go out of the palace, and the family of the Shouning Marquis Mansion injured the prince, I have used your hearts, if the prince is unwell, I will destroy your nine clans!" ”。

Gu Da kowtowed like pounding garlic, and said continuously: "The emperor spares his life, the emperor spares his life, the prince left the palace to investigate the people's feelings, how could I have thought that there would be that rich slave bold, the old slave should die, the old slave for the prince, desperately forward, was also beaten by the Hou Mansion slave, the emperor!" ”

He raised his face to show the emperor the bruises on his face, and Mrs. Jin heard that the prince was beaten by the family of her son's house, and she was so frightened that she didn't dare to squeak, and knelt aside in a daze.

Seeing that Mrs. Jin was not making noise, Hongzhi sighed secretly in his heart, and he glared at Gu Dayong and said, "Hmph, if you hadn't encouraged the prince to leave the palace, how could such a thing happen?" If I don't punish you, you may not be able to cause much trouble in the future. Miao Kui, how many people are there who instigated the prince to leave the palace? ”

Miao Kui hurriedly took a step forward, bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, the servant Yang Ling, the internal supervisor Liu Jin, Zhang Yong, Gu Dayong, Ma Yongcheng, Wei Bin, Luo Xiang, Gao Feng, and Qiu Ju said yesterday that they would accompany the prince out of the palace and return in the evening!" ”

Hongji shouted: "Escort these nine people out of the noon gate"

Yang Ling was thrilled when he heard this, only to hear Hongzhi take a breath and continue: "Thirty canes per person, to set an example."

Miao Kui hurriedly said: "Obey!" He waved his hand, and several little eunuchs came in and grabbed Yang Ling and Gu Dayong and left, Gu Dayong cried like a dead old lady: "The emperor spares his life, the emperor spares his life, the slave doesn't dare anymore, beg the emperor to spare his life, the prince saves me."

Yang Ling was a little puzzled, just fight, isn't it just thirty boards? At most, it will be two days of rest, and the emperor has not cut off his head, he has already breathed. Gu Dayong had been in Dongchang, but he knew very well that the board kung fu of the Jinyi guards was not the board for beating people in the yamen, and those people had received special training, and usually only the Jinyi lieutenant who had practiced to cover a piece of paper on the brick, and the bricks were crushed without breaking the paper on the board had the right to carry out the punishment.

So their execution depends on the emperor's intentions, if the emperor doesn't want people to die, dozens of boards will go down and fight flesh and blood, looking at it extremely miserable, in fact, there is nothing to do for two days with some gold sore medicine. If you don't want him to live, he looks very light when he gets off the cane, and his skin is not broken, but it hurts to the heart when he fights, and after only 30 canes, the blood vessels under the skin will break inch by inch, and the muscles will ulcerate and be difficult to heal, and he will die soon, and there is no cure at all.

Gu Dayong didn't know the emperor's intentions, he only saw Hongzhi's face pale, thinking that this time he was dead, and he cried miserably.

Zhu Houzhao was a little uneasy, he always felt that it was his own idea to get out of the palace, Yang Ling and Gu Da used them to just obey orders, and now they have nothing to do, but they were beaten up, and he was a little unhappy in his heart, he said to Hongzhi with a cry: "Father, they."

Hongzhi flicked the sleeves of his robe and said: "The emperor is the prince of the country, and they dared to lead the emperor out of the palace without permission, causing the emperor to be injured. ”

Mrs. Jin felt a chill in her heart when she heard this, and she wanted to demand that Zhang Heling be released immediately and Li Dongyang severely punished, but she didn't dare to say it again. If it is considered a great rebellion to take the prince out of the palace privately, and the family in the son's house beats the prince, what kind of crime should it be? I haven't heard my family talk about this, when did they beat the prince? ”

Mrs. Jin was painting her soul in her heart, and Hongzhi said: "Mrs. Jin, please get up, don't kneel anymore, I have made up my mind, come here, pass the decree, Li Dongyang lost his honor in front of the palace, and was fined for three months as a punishment, and he was released from prison immediately." Shou Ninghou embezzled the people's interests, the evidence was conclusive, he was imprisoned for three days, fined for half a year, and immediately restrained his family and returned the illegal gains. Chin this".

"As for the matter of the prince being beaten", he took a deep look at Mrs. Jin, Mrs. Jin was arrogant at the moment, and she didn't dare to rely on her daughter to be favored and talk nonsense, she stared at the emperor nervously, only to listen to Hongzhi said slowly: "Shou Ninghou didn't know in advance, otherwise there would be no such a thing, forget it, it's always a royal embarrassment, don't make a noise."

Mrs. Jin was only chattering, and hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, the emperor is shengming, the emperor is gracious!" ”

Hongji snorted lightly and said, "If Mrs. Jin has nothing else to do, she can go to the harem to meet the queen and comfort her, and I still have to check the prince's homework."

Mrs. Jin listened and hurriedly said: "Yes, the concubine has retired, and the concubine will not disturb the emperor." The mother-in-law hurriedly wiped the tears on her face, and retreated in a gloomy manner, she saw that Hongzhi, who had always had a good temper, was furious, and she was a little scared in her heart, and she wanted to leave the palace immediately, but she was afraid that the queen would still not forgive the emperor and anger the emperor again, so she hurriedly went to the harem again.

Zhu Houzhao saw that everyone had withdrawn, and couldn't help but salivate and grabbed Hongzhi's arm and begged: "Father, yesterday it was the idea of the sons and daughters to leave the palace, Yang Ling and Dayong are all people around me, you have abolished them, who will dare to follow me in the future?" ”

Hongji laughed when he heard this, he sat down slowly, glared at his son and said, "Do you know the protector?" Hum! Don't I know how you're messing around? If it weren't for people like that, I don't think you would have been able to think of all this nonsense. People like Gu Dayong and Liu Jin only know how to please you, and make some little tricks that are not on the stage to play, and it is also appropriate to teach them a lesson."

Zhu Houzhao listened to his father's calm tone, knowing that he was making a show for Mrs. Jin, he couldn't help but giggle reassuringly, he also sat next to Hongzhi, beat his shoulders for him and asked, "What about Yang Shiyu?" He is a scholar with no hands and feet, a white and tender ass can't stand the beating, what should I do if my father cripples him? ”

Princess Yongfu heard what the royal brother said about her white and tender ass behind the screen, and she couldn't help blushing and snorting gently. Princess Yongchun, who had nothing to do, couldn't help but look at her strangely, and when Princess Yongfu saw her looking at herself, she couldn't help but be ashamed and annoyed, and glared back at her fiercely. Princess Yongchun stuck out her tongue, not knowing why her sister looked weird, it was completely different from usual.

The fantastical stories told by Yang Ling are no less attractive to Zhu Houzhao than the juggling circus of Liu Jin and others, which is a world he has never been in contact with, and he can't even dream that in addition to Daming, there are so many colorful places in the world, although they have not known each other for a long time, he now has great feelings for Yang Ling, but he is reluctant to be hurt, so he took the opportunity to intercede for Yang Ling.

Hongzhi snorted: "Yang Ling, this person is a material that can be made of Yunwen and Yunwu, you don't have to underestimate him as a scholar, the real talent of a general, you don't need to catch a knife on the battlefield yourself." His views on military affairs are also very appreciated by veterans like Liu Daxia. ”

He laughed softly: "This person is a little waiter, who dares to be loyal to the prince, but he is a loyal courtier. And he knows that he is soft-spoken, and he knows how to use Li Dongyang and you, the prince of the East Palace, to give advice in a roundabout way, not a stupid stunned young man, I like it very much.

Now that the six Shangshu of the court and the central government are all dying, and several scholars are not young, my father feels that if this person is tempered again, he will be my son's powerful arm in the future. ”。

Seeing that his son was still a little confused, he couldn't help but smile helplessly and said, "Do you wonder why I want to punish him?" Hehe, this person is young and reckless, too young and foolish, acting recklessly, if you don't go through some tempering, the young man will be ambitious, it is inevitable that there will be no one in his eyes, and he will become an arrogant and domineering minister, understand? ”

Zhu Houzhao sighed, and said as if he didn't understand: "It turns out that my father wants to grind him, just like." It's like Erchen making people boil eagles, the more you want to use him, the more you have to toss him, hehehe, it's just. This tempering starts with the buttocks, which is a bit strange for Erchen. ”

Hongji was very pleased to hear his son's parable, but when he listened to his later words, he couldn't help laughing, this son is still not sensible.

Princess Yongfu had to go out to top the cylinder because she made her own voice, and she was very uneasy when she heard him being punished, and after listening to her father's words, she let out a long sigh. Princess Yongchun raised her big finger at her sister and blinked, and the two sisters looked at each other and smiled.
