Chapter 0112 Warm-up Exercises
A bloody corpse was dragged in front of Dai Yi, Li Duo, and Ni Qian.
Dai Yi approached and looked carefully for a long time, and saw that there was no difference in the iron shackles, clothes, and posture, and couldn't help laughing: "My lords, this Wang Jinglong is unbearable for the pain of service, since he escaped from the imperial tomb, he accidentally fell into the valley and died, it has nothing to do with us, if the scholars ask, I hope to be able to testify to each other."
Wang Jinglong is looking for his own death, Dai Yi is the happiest, he can not only get rid of it, but also use this to buy the upcoming director of the West Factory, how can he not be happy in his heart? Li Duo and Ni Qian nodded again and again after hearing this, but Yang Yiqing circled around the corpse twice with a suspicious face, shook his head lightly and said, "No, my lords, this matter is a bit strange."
Yang Yiqing is Yang Ling's cronies, now Yang Ling is rising, the tide is rising, no one dares to predict what Yang Yiqing's future is, Dai Yi didn't dare to underestimate him, and said politely when he heard the words: "What does Captain Yang have in mind?" β
Yang Yiqing pointed to the dead corpse and said: "My lords, please see, although this dead corpse is covered in mud, it is all contaminated by rolling from the cliff, but there is not much dust on the clothes, and there are no abrasion marks on the ankles, and there are no whiplash wounds on the body. β
"Ahh , The foreman who nodded his head on the side screamed strangely, and said urgently: "Yes, yes, this bastard was whipped not long ago, and his shoulders and neck are full of whip marks", he said and rushed over, tearing open the clothes of the dead corpse, only to see that the back and neck were intact except for the scratches.
Dai Yi shouted in shock and anger: "Li Dai Tao? This guy escaped? Then there must be someone on this mountain of dead bodies to help him escape, ouch, escaped this prisoner, how can I return to the emperor, how can I let Lord Yang know? How's that for good? β
Yang Yiqing thought for a while, and hurriedly said: "In addition to that cliff, surrounded by the officers and soldiers of the Shenji Battalion around Tailing, the number of people entering and leaving at this moment is limited.
Li Duo, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, sneered disdainfully: "What a Wang Qiong, he went to Nanjing to be an official, even if Wang Jinglong escapes him, there is no suspicion, but who else is willing to take the risk to rescue Wang Jinglong, but who else can save Wang Jinglong except this old horseman?" Dai's father-in-law, Wang Qiong's protΓ©gΓ© in Beijing has a lot of old days, and he is dissatisfied with his debasement. Wang Jinglong fled, most likely to go south to Jinling, or to his brother's place in Zhejiang, and another possibility is to have the courage to go to the place where he should not go."
Dai Yi suddenly blurted out: "Jingshi? He gritted his teeth and said to Yang Yiqing: "Captain Yang quickly went to inquire about the suspicious people who entered and exited the imperial mausoleum today, Lord Li and Lord Ni, and the two of them took someone to count all the craftsmen and soldiers in the imperial mausoleum and all the places that can be hidden."
He waved his hand and called a cronie to the little eunuch, and said: "Hurry up and take our post to Dongchang, and ask Fan Gonggong to carefully check the large and small intersections leading to Jinling, Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and the people who are close to the Wang family in Beijing should also take good care of them."
Jingshi is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, although Dai Yi is arrogant, he does not dare to mobilize the Beijing army and the soldiers and horses of the five cities to search all over the city like when Shouning Hou is favored by Emperor Hongzhi, only to mobilize the land snake controlled by Dongchang and pay attention to it secretly. He groaned and said, "Also, inform Lord Yang and tell him to be careful."
Eight beautiful and graceful girls stood opposite Yang Ling with crimson faces, the deputy envoy of the big wedding was only responsible for instructing the etiquette when serving the emperor, as for the affairs of men and women, they were taught by the female officials of the inner palace, Yang Ling was greatly relieved, Otherwise, I'm afraid it will be even more embarrassing than when facing Zhengde.
The squeaks of the five iron bodhisattvas in the Yuhua Pavilion seemed to be still echoing in the ears, and the roots of the teeth were still sour, Yang Ling grinded his teeth, stared at a coiled dragon pillar in the hall without squinting and said: "Every time you enter the palace, you will enter the palace for two consecutive days, and you must strictly abide by the rules."
The more Yang Ling spoke, the more awkward he felt, he knew that the deputy envoy of the Son of Heaven would have to do these things in addition to being the master of ceremonies, and he had already found an excuse to ask Zhengde for his resignation, and how did he feel like a chief manager of the respectful room until now.
Although the eight beautiful beauties with beautiful eyebrows couldn't help but feel shyness in their eyebrows when they heard about these men and women, their eyes were more joyful and excited, and even lustful!
Obviously they are some delicate beauties, but in those eyes, there is a fire burning enough to burn a man to ashes, Yang Ling can't help but shudder after just looking at it.
As soon as these palace maids enter the palace gate, they will live here for the rest of their lives, until they exhaust their youth and are thrown into the cremation well and become a cloud of flying ashes. Even if he caught up with the emperor's kindness and sent the old palace maid back to his hometown, he was already over thirty years old, and he didn't know who he could marry.
Now I have the honor to be the emperor in the palace, and since then I am a female official with status, although I am not allowed to be promoted to a concubine, but I have a lot to take every month, and I don't have to engage in labor anymore, I can have this opportunity, it is really out of the sea of suffering, one step to the sky, and I am afraid that this is the only opportunity in my life to contact men, although they dare not express it because of the shyness of the female surname, how can they not be ecstatic in their hearts?
Yang Ling recited dryly: "After bathing, if you don't have an inch, your father-in-law will inspect it and wrap it in a down brocade quilt and send it to the emperor's bedroom." After your father-in-law exits the room, you must get into the quilt from the exposed end of the 'dragon claw', and then communicate with the emperor, and you must not be in the wrong direction. β
Yang Ling snorted and said: "The guild is waiting for the time outside, when the hour calls you, you must withdraw immediately, if the emperor stays, it must not be more than twice for the father-in-law to shout, remember, you can't turn your back on the emperor, you have to climb out of bed upside down."
When Yang Ling said this, he looked at these beauties with graceful postures and unique characteristics, and couldn't help but shake his head secretly: "What's so good about being an emperor?" Even this kind of thing is managed by someone, there are so many stinky rules, such an emperor lies in bed and has no freedom to talk to a woman except for **? Poor little Zhengde, I hope you can adapt to this life"
At this time, Zhengde was happily commanding the little eunuchs to hang the lanterns of King Ning in the Kunning Palace, the Qianqing Palace, and the Imperial Garden, and there were three days before the wedding, although the fireworks could not be set off now, he couldn't wait to hang the lanterns, and at night, Zhengde lingered in the sea of bright lights like a galaxy, and he couldn't sleep happily.
The official of the Ministry of Rites followed Emperor Zhengde who did not stop for a moment, and reported the progress of various arrangements to Zhengde with a sigh of breath, Zhengde waved his hand impatiently and said: "Don't talk to me about these things, the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager and the three scholars can agree."
"Yes, yes, the ministers obey the order", the white-haired Honglu official hurriedly responded, but still chased after his ass and said: "The big wedding, the queen mother and the emperor worship heaven and earth, and when they marry each other, they must be accompanied by four fateful ladies, and serve the empress dowager and the empress dowager, and elect Chengguo Gong, Fuguo Gong, Shouning Marquis, and Linhuai Marquis four first and second rank Edict Lady, can the emperor be satisfied?" β
Zhengde was playing with a fish-shaped lantern full of gold paper scales, and when he heard this, he thought for a while and said: "Remove Mrs. Shouninghou and replace it with Mrs. Weiwubo, hehe, that is the first lady of the decree since I ascended the throne."
Honglu said with a sad face: "Your Majesty, these four ladies have children or grandchildren, please the queen's mother, and bless the emperor with many sons and grandchildren." Mrs. Wei Wubo has a lower rank, and she has no heirs, which seems to be not suitable, and Shou Ninghou is the current national uncle, if the national uncle and wife are replaced, the queen mother will be there."
Zhengde said angrily: "I have said that I have ignored these things, you have to come and ask me, okay, now that I have an idea, you have a bunch of reasons waiting for me, dare you play tricks on the Son of Heaven?" β
The Honglu official hurriedly knelt down and said: "The minister doesn't dare, the minister is afraid, and the emperor is angry."
Emperor Zhengde sneered: "Panic fart! I'm about to get married, I'm going to be sincere, and you still think I'm a child? Hmph, when I can't see it, it seems that you have to agree to everything, but in fact, you already have an idea in your heart. Pretend to be smart, you don't bother me, I don't bother you, I don't bother you, since you asked, then I will come to get an idea.
Mrs. Mighty Bo has a low rank? If it's low, then you will be crowned with a good order! She has no children? Okay, I will also send you this sentence, as soon as Mrs. Weiwubo is pregnant, I will do you a crime of bullying the king! β
Honglu's face was like earth, and he kowtowed again and again: "Yes, yes, the ministers have obeyed the emperor, but the candidates for the empress dowager and the empress dowager have been decided, and it may not be appropriate to make further deletions. β
Zhengde turned his anger into joy, glanced at him, and said proudly: "Count you smart, pass on the decree."
When the Honglu official heard the amnesty, he almost lost his head when he invited a few female guests to the emperor, where did he dare to make noise, and hurriedly got up and rolled to the celebrant to deliver the decree.
Yang Ling finally explained to the eight beautiful palace maids who were full of spring love dozens of rules for sleeping with the emperor, exited the hall and took out a small note from his arms to look at it, and now all he needs to do is welcome a queen and two imperial concubines into the palace after three days.
Yang Ling couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, there are too many etiquettes that need to be prepared these days, sometimes he is busy until late, he just gets together in the court room for a night, and he hasn't gone home for two days, and now it's finally over.
He went to the Qianqing Palace first, and heard that Emperor Zhengde was personally directing the arrangement of lanterns in the imperial garden, so he hurriedly took the opportunity to leave the palace, and he did not sit in a sedan chair, but only rode a fast horse and rushed back to Xixiao with four personal guards.
As soon as I entered the Weiwubo Mansion, I saw that the mansion was full of lights, and it was full of joy.
Now it has passed the three-nine filial piety period of Emperor Hongzhi, the lintel of the three courtyards are tied with red silk, and the clean up is new, and the butterflies are dancing in the flowers in the courtyard, and people are in a comfortable mood.
Yang Ling saw the strangeness, and asked the old housekeeper who greeted him: "Senior executive, why is the emperor getting married, and our family should also be arranged like this?" Can the whole world celebrate? β
The senior executive laughed and said: "The master is too busy in the palace to forget his own big things?" Why do you forget that the emperor's wedding is your happy day, if you want to say, this is a happy event given by the emperor, although it is not the time when the eldest lady passes the door, but you can't be sloppy with these two little ladies passing the door, so the lady has already ordered to prepare."
"Oh!" Yang Ling stopped suddenly, he was so busy that he really forgot about his own affairs. Yutang Spring, Xue Limei, passing the door? Do you want to be your own daughter-in-law?
Under the bright sunshine, what greeted his eyes was the colorful garden, and the smell in his nose was a faint fragrance, Yang Ling had mixed feelings for a while, and remembered the first time he met them.
In a trance, he seemed to see Xue Limei, who was wearing a small silk jacket and a green pleated skirt, walking out of the embroidery building hatefully, refuting Yan Kuan with a pretty face, and with a sigh like a hole flute, Yutang Chun suddenly appeared in the pavilion, plain clothes like snow, long hair, and staring at Shi Hao like a thin moon.
There is also the sweet, petite and playful Tang Yixian with a sweet voice
Thinking of Tang Yixian, whose life and death are uncertain now, Yang Ling's mood suddenly gloomed, after Tang Yixian disappeared, Jinyiwei and the local government really made great efforts to search for a while under his request, but they were never found, Yang Ling was ninety percent sure that she was not dead, but why did she never show up?
What Yang Ling was most worried about was that although she was rescued, the people who rescued her saw her and detained her. A weak little woman can't resist, what kind of ending is that? When he thought about it, he was extremely unhappy in his heart, so he had been careful to avoid thinking about it, but today, he said "two little ladies passed the door", but it touched the sore spot in his heart.
Yang Ling waved his hand silently and walked into the inner house alone, Han Youniang, Gao Wenxin's four daughters and the sister-in-law Zhang Zheng, who has always been silent, were all talking and laughing in the flower hall, and there were three flowery women's robes on several cases, and three jade and gold hairpins trembled slightly.
As soon as Yang Ling entered the door, he couldn't help but wonder: "What is this?" With so many jewels, who gave it a gift? β
Yutangchun and Xue Limei saw that it was him who came back, so they were so ashamed that they hurriedly grabbed a red robe and beaded crown, and squatted down with a dizzy face and called "Master", and hurriedly ran out.
Gao Wenxin couldn't help but smile and said: "The maid has seen the master, the two pieces just now were not given by others, they were phoenix crowns, but they were imitations, and they were worn by Miss Xue'er and Miss Yu'er when they were preparing to pass through the door."
Taizu Queen Ma special gift, the people can imitate the phoenix crown when they get married, women originally like beautiful clothes, now see this phoenix crown and the silk, around to discuss, and even discuss some things in the boudoir is possible, no wonder they ran away in shame when they saw themselves.
Yang Ling was a little embarrassed, he touched his nose, and saw that there was another set of robes on the case, and he couldn't help but be surprised: "Why is there another set?" Whose is this set for? He said and couldn't help but glance at Gao Wenxin.
Han Youniang has mentioned to him more than once Gao Wenxin's affection for the Yang family and her pity for her life experience, and begged her to be fair to her to fulfill her promise when she worshiped them, but he has not responded.
Gao Wenxin is such a clever girl, as soon as her eyes touched her, she immediately understood what Yang Ling was thinking, that face suddenly turned into a red apple, and the whole person became uncomfortable.
Han Youniang looked at it in her eyes, and she didn't know whether she understood or not, she blinked her eyes and said with a smile: "This is mine, well, you see, Yu'er and their robes are embroidered with a phoenix, and my embroidered is a peacock, this is the three-grade robe given by the emperor, who does the prince think?" β
Han Youniang said this, Gao Wenxin was even more ashamed to raise her head, she stretched out two fingers, pulled the corners of Zhang's clothes, and said softly: "Mrs. Zhang, didn't you sleep well because of the cicada song?" The servant will go and prescribe you medicine for resting your mind and recuperating your surname", Zhang is a person who has come over, and he also saw that the atmosphere is warm, so he naturally will not say that he eats well, sleeps soundly, and has no problems, so he hurriedly agreed to leave with Gao Wenxin.
Yang Ling said curtly: "The emperor gave this crown dress, haven't you always been reluctant to take it out and wear it, why do you take it out now."
Han Youniang said happily: "Don't you know yet?" Someone from the palace passed the will, and when the queen mother entered the palace, she wanted to invite six ladies to accompany her, and the emperor said that she wanted the young lady to accompany the queen."
She grabbed Yang Ling's hand as she spoke, and said happily: "The young lady can finally see the appearance of the palace this time, where the true dragon emperor lives."
Yang Ling laughed when he heard this: "It's good, the emperor is married, I am the master of ceremonies, and you are the bridesmaid, but I don't know if the emperor will wrap a thick red envelope for us, hahaha."
Han Youniang didn't understand the meaning of the red envelope of the master of ceremonies, and thought it was one of the etiquette terms for the emperor's wedding, she asked with a smile: "Xianggong came back so early, could it be that he can be idle these two days?" β
Yang Ling scratched her delicate nose and said: "Smart, Xianggong doesn't have to do hard labor anymore, but the emperor" Yang Ling thought of the eight beautiful female officials who were so beautiful that their eyes looked like they were about to eat people, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "But the emperor is afraid that he will do a lot of hard labor in the past two days, and I don't know if he can handle it, hehe"
Yu Tangchun picked up his newlywed robe and fled back to the boudoir with a red face, his heart still pounding. In plain life, she wished to look at the old man more, but seeing that the son who was married to the Yang family was getting closer and closer, her daughter's feelings, and the shyness became more and more serious.
She put away her crown and waited for the heat on her face to subside before tiptoeing out of the back house. As soon as she walked into the middle hall, the executive's family walked in from outside the hall, and when she saw her, she said happily: "Miss Su, you came just in time, there is a letter here and the old slave is about to send it to you."
"Letter? Someone's letter to me? Yutangchun asked in surprise.
The old butler laughed and said, "Yes, uh, it's a relative of yours."
Yutangchun said strangely: "What about the person you are talking about?" β
The old housekeeper laughed and said, "The man sent the letter and left, saying that the letter was self-detailed, and we don't know about the rest." He said in his heart: This girl is about to become the wife of the mighty uncle, and a poor relative who suddenly has an autumn breeze at home makes me know how unbearable my face is? I'd better pretend to be confused," said the old butler, who was sophisticated, and left with the letter.
Yutang Chun took the letter in surprise, looking dazed, dear? Where do I come from?
She hesitated and paced into the study of the central hall and sat down, took out the letter from the letter and typed it, only glanced at the signature at the end of the letter, and suddenly stood up, trembling all over, as if she was unusually frightened.
Zhou Yanheng, Zhou Yanheng! Her own father appeared to her like a descendant from the sky, groveling to his daughter and signing his name. This name has been buried in her heart for too long and long with her pain and tears, and when it appears, her heart is shocked, her mind is dizzy, she hurriedly holds on to the table, and the tears can no longer contain the strings of falling: "Why him? Why him? What else did he come to me for? β
Yutangchun forced herself to forget, but she never really forgot it, she didn't forget this name, she didn't forget this biological father who brought her father's love and affection, and ruthlessly sold her into the fire pit, this unscrupulous, eating, drinking, gambling scholar.
From the moment she fell into the dust, she had decided to completely forget this person, and even completely forget her original name, the name she no longer deserved: Zhou Yujie.
Yujie, Yujie Bingqing, is a woman who has fallen into the dust still worthy of this name? Her name is Yu Tangchun, her name is Su San, and her name is Sister Yu'er, now, she has washed all the lead, and is ready to accompany her Lang Jun for the rest of her life to pursue her own happiness, why did he come to the door?
Yutangchun held up the letter with tears in his eyes and looked at the letter with a sob
