Cheng Qiyun Cuiluo light shirt, eyebrows like mist, beautiful and delicate posture. She walked to the window gently, slowly pushed open the rhombic sash window, and stared at Zhengde and Tang Yixian, who were sitting against the stone in plain robes and light clothes, under the peach blossom tree.

Under the tree, a flat big bluestone, Zhengde has a guqin on his lap, Tang Yixian holds a purple bamboo flute in his hand, and the crimson petals fall gently when the breeze passes, as if in a fairyland.

"There are few people in the top position who recognize Miss Tang, in the past, the lord led the daughter into the barracks, because of the emperor's favor, the matter was handled very low-key, the court only knew that the adult's daughter had an accident, and no one heard her name and surname, this is enough, who would have thought that the cousin of General Yang today would be an unknown woman who disappeared from the cliff in the past?".

Cheng Qiyun suddenly turned her head and said with a shallow smile: "So to return her innocent identity, it is easy for the humble position, 'Flower Pavilion', 'Teaching Workshop Division', all the joints and lowly duties are well understood, and all the files and records are removed with the power of the inner factory, even if there is someone who is not afraid of death, with only one mouth, who dares to say irresponsible remarks to the emperor's concubine?" ”

"Just just". Cheng Qiyun glanced at Yang Ling faintly, hesitating.

Yang Ling leaned against a square table with a mahogany inlaid shell carved marble surface, raised his cup and took a sip of tea, and said with a smile: "What? What's not to say? ”

Cheng Qiyun bit her lip and said in a low voice: "The concubine is just afraid of some hard work, but she is not understood by adults."

Yang Ling raised his eyes to look at her, and saw her leaning against the window, her eyebrows were lightly locked, and she seemed to be really worried, and she couldn't help but put down the teacup and smiled: "Qiyun, if you have something to say, you can say it directly, so far, with your discerning eyes, you can't see whether Yang can trust you or not?" ”

Listening to the heart, but there is less affection in my heart. Cheng Qiyun glanced at him with resentment, and then said: "There is only one thing to worry about, the adult jumped up too fast." A big man, in the local area, in the imperial court, has worked hard for many years, and has made countless contacts and loyal bureaucrats, but the adults lack such a mixed foundation.

If the adult is a generation of ministers, or has worked hard for decades to reach today's official position, no one will care about sending a relative into the palace as a concubine, but the adult is weak and the crown has been a very human minister, at this time there is a cousin who has become the emperor's favorite, pointed out by thousands of people, the whole country is jealous, although the adult is trusted by the emperor, but the three of them become tigers, and they know that the future will depend on the principle of blessing and misfortune can not be forgotten." Yang Ling listened to Cheng Qiyun's words, his heart was quite touched, he originally felt that Zhengde was anxious to let himself recognize an immortal as a cousin, and he had the identity of a cousin, so he could take care of Xian'er, but he didn't think much about it, and then he walked slowly with his hands, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was really reckless to do so.

Yang Ling pondered for a moment and said, "In your opinion, how is it?" ”

Cheng Qiyun's eyes rolled and said: "She came from Datong, her original name was Liu Liangnu, how can she let the princess recognize her as a righteous daughter, so just the palace level, if someone really wants to check her identity, it is a big hurdle that cannot be passed, what do you think?" ”

Yang Ling stopped, staring at Cheng Qiyun's silver-faced and pointed satin boots for a long time, Cheng Qiyun shrank her feet a little crampedly, Yang Ling nodded and said: "It makes sense, I'll go see Yixian, I have to see what she means in this matter."

Since Tang Yixian determined his feelings, he originally wanted to tease the two good sisters, and then tell the truth about the recovery of his own memory, but since Gao Wenxin cured Wang Lung's automatic sleeping disorder, he seemed to have some certainty, and every day he came to her for diagnosis and treatment with a silver needle that was bright and dangling, Tang Yixian was really afraid, so he had to beg for mercy and tell the truth.

After hearing the news, Yutangchun and Xue Limei, who were inexplicably surprised, came to hug her, the three of them talked and laughed, and finally hugged their heads and cried, and finally recognized each other again, and at the same time recognized Yang Ling as the eldest brother. Because she already knew her identity, Yang Ling was not worried about how to open her mouth to make her recognize her as the righteous daughter of the acting king.

Yang Ling moved out of the house and slowly paced to the edge of the pond.

Tang Yixian and Zhengde were trying to play while studying the second half of "Killing Music", and wanted to work together to create a wonderful piece of music. The beautiful figure stood under the tree, and her reflection was reflected in the water. Tang Yixian saw Yang Ling, and happily stepped forward and said, "Big brother."

Yang Ling nodded, stood under the vine Luo and told Tang Yixian about Cheng Qiyun's idea, and then said: "Qiyun's concerns are indeed reasonable, entering the palace as the princess and daughter, you will have a lot less taboos, otherwise as the sister of an important minister in the outer court, your every move will attract the attention of the court and the opposition, Xian'er, what do you think?" ”

Tang Yixian thought silently for a moment, turned his head to look at Zhengde, Zhengde plucked the strings, saw her turn around, and smiled at her. Tang Yixian sighed lightly and said: "Marrying the emperor has reduced a lot of troubles from ordinary people, but it still has to increase some troubles of the emperor's family.

She bit her lip, turned her head to Yang Ling Yanran and said, "Brother, I'll discuss it with him, okay?" ”

Yang Ling nodded and turned to leave. Tang Yixian stared at his figure and turned over the corner of the vine pillar, then walked towards Zhengde Shanshan, sat down cross-legged on the bluestone beside him, and whispered Yang Ling's words to Zhengde.

Zhengde held the strings with both hands, listened to Tang Yixian's words, and smiled nonchalantly: "That's easy, I'll make a secret decree to let the acting king recognize you as a righteous daughter, what does it matter if you are a righteous daughter?" I love Tang Yixian, it's not your identity, it's all right, as long as it doesn't annoy you."

Tang Yixian glanced at him and said coquettishly: "You are the emperor, of course you don't care about anything." I ask you, you really don't care what I come from? ”

Zhengde smiled and said, "Of course I don't care."

Tang Yixian said categorically: "Okay, then there is no need to hide it and sneak around." The concubine Tang Yixian that Emperor Zhengde of the Ming Dynasty wants to marry is a Qing man from the 'Flower Pavilion', so I will marry you in this capacity! ”

Zhengde hesitated slightly, and hesitated: "Xian'er, why bother to cure this anger, what's wrong with letting the acting king recognize you as a righteous daughter?" ”

Tang Yixian stared at him with a slight tilt of his head, his eyes were full of childlike stubbornness, and gradually, tears overflowed in his starry eyes, and he sobbed: "What do you say about the person who only loves me, do you dislike my identity?" Zhengde panicked, hurriedly held her hand, and was thrown away by Tang Yixian with a cold face, Zhengde blushed and said: "Who do I want to like, that's the emperor's family matter, who dares to make irresponsible remarks?" What am I afraid of? What do you think you like?

Xian'er, I did this because I wanted to give you the title of queen, to be the queen, those ministers will inevitably cry and run to annoy me, although I am not afraid of them, but it is always troublesome, but I don't dislike you."

Tang Yixian couldn't help but laugh when she heard his true feelings, she raised the back of her palm and wiped her tears, and said eloquently: "I am not rare to be a queen, you want to conquer the south and the north in the future to create an immortal feat, at that time, as a queen, you have to set an example for the world, and you have to guard the six palaces, and it is difficult to see you."

Besides, my identity is not unknown to anyone, covering it up, sooner or later it will be a big trouble, I don't want to live in worry every day, now let the people of the world be clear and clear, the status of the woman favored by the emperor since ancient times is much more humble, so that they can't grasp the handle.

Otherwise, if it is known that I have concealed my identity, and I have a very close relationship with the Lord Yang Ling of the outer court, there is no conspiracy and they say that there is a conspiracy, and the Ming Dynasty has never had a precedent for the harem to interfere in politics, and this handle has been caught, my eldest brother can only resign in order to show his intentions, and I, from now on, will also be closely watched by hundreds of pairs of eyes of civil and military officials, and they will be unable to attack."

Zhengde thought for a moment, suddenly put the piano to the side, and said: "That's right, dead pigs are not afraid of boiling water, now say it, save them from talking about your identity in the future."

Tang Yixian was about to fight, and said with a smile: "Skiff! What kind of parable, who do you say is dead and dead, where are you going? ”

Zhengde Zhengse said: "I will enter the palace now, and after the mother, I will notify the Ministry of Internal Affairs and order the celebrant to give the gold book!" ”

According to the rules, when the queen got married, she was given a gold book and a golden treasure, while the concubine had a book but no treasure, and the concubine did not even have a gold book. Zhengde loves Tang Yixian very much, how can he let her be wronged.

He has made up his mind to set up Tang Yixian as the imperial concubine first, as long as Tang Yixian gives birth to a dragon son for him, he will follow the ancient practice to give gold treasures, and the son is a little older, he will be established as the prince, and at that time he will be promoted to the queen, and the two can stand side by side. In this way, it is more appropriate to do it step by step, just think about it.

Tang Yixian laughed and said, "Why are you so breathless, who said I want to marry you now?" Hmph, I want to accompany Xue'er and Yu'er, and wait for the young lady's sister to give birth to a baby before I marry you."

Zhengde said with a smile as he walked: "If you think of it, you can do it, then it will be me." I instructed Qin Tianjian to choose the son after the Mid-Autumn Festival in August, during this time, if there is something that does not open his eyes, I just want to kill his sharpness first."

The emperor accepts concubines, except for the lords of the six palaces who bestow the mother of the world, and the ministers have the right to place beaks, ordinary concubines have no right to ask, despite this, the emperor wants to accept a woman who grew up in the green building as a concubine, and as soon as she enters the palace, she is the imperial concubine. The status is second only to the queen, and it still arouses strong dissatisfaction among the ministers, and the euphemistic exhortations are sent to the leopard room in bundles.

Zhengde is still a nephew playing lanterns, as usual. I didn't look at the fold, and after two days, he felt sorry for the paper, and with an order, Liu Jin did the villain again: the treasury was tight, the amount of money was cut, and the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone used by all ministries and departments were all reduced to one-third, and the folds for the emperor could not be shabby.

In the past few days, Yang Ling left only one Feng Tang in the second gear of the inner factory, and promoted the two deputy capital divisions of the original Shenji Battalion to be the second gear head, and incorporated Lian Delu and Peng Jizu into the two towns of Datong and Xuanfu as deputy generals, and at the same time promoted the garrison of the two original Shenji battalion left sentinel armies of the current head of the inner factory, Ren Yansui, and the guerrilla general under the command of the two towns of Liaodong, and taught him the tactical skills and war concepts of martial arts in the mountains.

Yang Ling has Cheng Qiyun to plan behind his scenes, coupled with a high authority, treat people well, get along with the general soldiers of the four towns day and night, and have close contacts, the four veterans of the battlefield led by Jing Foer are all happy and sincere to Yang Ling, coupled with this press and insertion, the outer four armies have been firmly controlled by Yang Ling.

This time, Yang Ling and Zhengde were training troops on the outskirts of the city, and suddenly received a report from Fanzi that Liu Yuliu, the left attendant of the military department, had an urgent matter to ask him, Yang Ling didn't care about returning home, and hurriedly drove his horse to the military department.

Liu Yu hurriedly welcomed Yang Ling into the study, and said with a smile: "Your Excellency, pay attention to the news of the pirates of Liangguang Fanyi, and the Xiaguan dare not slack off, and order Liangguang to report any news to the capital as soon as possible.

Yang Ling had just sat down, and when he heard this, he suddenly stood up again, and said hurriedly: "What's the news?" Speak to me."

Liu Yu took two secret reports and presented them to Yang Ling and said: "Your Excellency, please see, this is the news that a minister of the Manchurian Republic (located in the Malay Peninsula in the Strait of Malacca, which is a subject country of the Ming Dynasty) asked me to send troops to help, saying that not long ago, a large number of red-haired pirates conquered the Manchurian country.

However, the commander of the envoy asked some information from the minister who fled in panic, and felt that the pirates were similar to what the adults had ordered, so he sent someone to report to the capital. ”

Yang Ling couldn't help but be startled when he heard that the country of Manthorn Canada had been captured by pirates. If what he said was true, could it be that the Portuguese pirates were so rampant at this time? There was actually a large army near the Ming Dynasty?

Most of the gatekeepers in Western Europe are Portuguese, with round, ruddy and fragrant earthy faces, simple and lovable, and very loyal. As everyone knows, the Franc (Portugal) pirates of the Ming generation are the most vicious group of people across the world, and the sea is their world.

Yang Ling didn't have time to read the report carefully, and asked anxiously: "The country of Manthorn Canada has been captured?" What about the king of that country? Why don't you ask for help in person? How many pirates are there in this big group? ”

Liu Yu hurriedly said: "According to the minister, the Sultan of Manchu fled to the desert island southeast of Temasek (Singapore) in a panic, and now he can't find it, so he has to turn to Daming for help, the pirates are extremely powerful, driving five warships, carrying dozens of artillery, about 400 people."

Yang Ling: "Destroy the country of 400 people"

Yang Ling was dumbfounded for a moment before he said: "No matter what, Manchu Jia is always a subject of the Ming Dynasty, if you ignore it, it will inevitably chill the subject country, this matter should be reported to the Ming Emperor as soon as possible, since the king of the other country can't find it, he can't personally ask for reinforcements, and he should quickly find out the situation in the country, so that the sailor can prepare as soon as possible, so as to help the Sultan recover the country."

Moreover, now that the sea is about to open, the Strait of Malacca cannot be lost, and there are a group of robbers entrenched there, which will affect the passage of merchant ships. Especially their artillery, we must find a way to get one."

He turned around twice and couldn't wait to say: "With the military intelligence report, we will go to see the emperor together, these things are extremely important, and the emperor must be asked to make an order immediately, and there can be no delay."

"Yes, yes", Liu Yu bowed and said: "The lower official has another important matter to report, but it was submitted to the household department by the Guangdong political envoy Si Yamen, and due to the armed dispute involving foreigners, the household department was transferred to the military department."

Liu Yu said: "This incident happened a few days before the envoys of the Manchurian State fled to the Ming Dynasty. A group of people took a boat to Huaiyuanyi in Guangzhou, claiming to be envoys of the Manchurian and Canadian tributes.

However, although they had white cloth wrapped around their heads and were all dressed in long robes, they had eagle noses and sunken eyes, blond hair and green eyes, and most of them had the smell of foxes. Huaiyuan Yicheng saw the Manchu Thorn and the tribute envoys, and saw that they didn't even know the etiquette of the tribute envoys, so he became suspicious, so he reported to the political envoy Si Yamen. The political envoys interrogated them, and when they saw that they could not hide it, they admitted that they came from the far west, and that it was a country called Franco.

Yang Ling was shocked when he heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, as if he had seen a new type of artillery standing in front of him, he forcibly suppressed the excitement in his heart, and asked urgently: "Franc machine?" What are they coming to do? ”

Liu Yu said: "They said that they heard that there was such a huge empire as the Ming Dynasty far away, so they wanted to come and see it, but they were afraid that they would not be received by the Celestial Empire, so they took the liberty of being full of thorns and Canadians." The political envoy asked them for credentials, but these people could not get them.

There is no Buddha Lang Ji country in the "Daming Huidian", and the political envoy thinks that it must be the country of heaven and the heart of the heavenly dynasty to come from afar, so he ordered the post office to entertain them with good wine and good food, but then it happened that the minister of the Canadian state fled to our court to ask for help, and the political envoy heard that those people might be robbers, and hurriedly went to the inspection department to arrest them, but those people actually had a short fire gun with a fast rate of fire, killed and injured several yacha, and hurriedly ran to the beach and escaped.

"A thorough investigation by the political envoy found that in the early years along the coast, there were Western-looking people who looked similar to these Franc pirates who were buying silk, porcelain, and other things along the coast, because there were relatively few people, and second, they never went deep into the land, and they still followed the rules, so no one reported to the above."

Yang Ling's heart moved, it seems that these pirates also want to do business, although the Chinese porcelain they bought on the beach is not a superb, but it is also a beautiful and precious thing to take back to China, I think it is because they used to be weak, so they did not dare to get involved in the law, and now they have won Malacca, thinking that they can challenge the power of the Ming army, so they sent people ashore to investigate, right?

If this is the case, then the purpose of this group of people who are full of thorns and envoys to go ashore is to spy on the reality of the Ming Dynasty, at that time, the sailors rarely encounter the opportunity to fight with the foreign [***] team, and there is no sense of secrecy at all, I am afraid that the ships and artillery of the sailors have already been clearly mastered by them, as long as they estimate that there is a chance of victory, the attack on the Ming Dynasty must not be far away.

Thinking of this, Yang Ling hurriedly said: "Hurry up and go, go to see the emperor immediately, it seems that not only will we send spies to immediately investigate the situation in Manchuria, but also the naval divisions in Guangdong, Fujian and other places will also strengthen their vigilance, I am afraid that there will be a war soon."

Liu Yu didn't know what basis he had to say with such certainty, but seeing his solemn expression, he didn't dare to ask more, so the two hurriedly left the military headquarters and went straight to the leopard room.

Handed over the waist card, the two hurriedly came to the house where Zhengde habitually lived, as soon as the two saw the house, they saw Liu Jin standing in front of the case, Zhengde was holding a book in his hand, his face was solemn, and when he saw Yang Ling coming in, he couldn't help but be overjoyed and said: "Yang Qing came just right, I have an important matter, except that you really don't know who to hand it over to be relieved."

Yang Ling was about to say his own important things, but when he heard this, he was stunned: "What is the emperor's important matter?" ”

Zhengde glanced at Liu Yu and said, "You step back first."

Liu Yu had just stepped into the threshold and saluted, when he heard the words, he hurriedly responded, took a step back, and retreated to the door, and the two small yellow doorkeepers at the door gently closed the door.

Yang Ling stepped forward and motioned to Liu Jin, but before he could ask again, Zhengde had already bypassed the book case and grabbed his arm, and said in a low voice: "Yang waiter, I received a secret report, and the King of Shu wanted to rebel!" ”

Yang Ling was taken aback and blurted out: "The King of Shu is the richest prince and the most famous virtuous king, he wants to rebel?" ”

Zhengde frowned and said: "If this matter is fake, the world will be in chaos if the vassal king is not in order." If this matter is true, the wealth of the king of Shu, the crown of the kings, the terrain of Sichuan and Shu is dangerous, and it can be a single country, and it cannot sit idly by. The matter is big, don't be careful, I think about it, and only Yang Qing can find out, I can rest assured! ”

(To be continued)
