The courtyard of the Yang family is very lively, as soon as you enter the gate, the drums and cymbals in the left wing room are playing in unison, only to see the doors and windows open, a group of people wearing yellow beam crowns, wearing a dark color robe, stepping on the seven star steps, the dust in the hands is lightly, and there are words in the mouth, which is doing things for the Weiguo Gong, bless him with the immortality of the original god, and can ascend to the Taixu Wonderland as soon as possible.

These people are Taoist priests of Baiyun Temple, and with their status as Taoist officials, ordinary people can't be invited, but Wei Guogong's identity is different, and his relationship with the national teacher is extraordinary, so the master of Baiyun Temple personally led the ten disciples, and he didn't need to be invited, so he took the initiative to come to the door.

The wing room on the right is Jacob, the fire Yasan and other missionaries, the executive's family is old, and they are quite reluctant to Western monks to do the law, so they have arranged the place and never go in, I don't know how these Western monks do it, only know what angel they are praying for to lead their master to heaven, a very beautiful place.

The executive's family saw that they didn't have any magic weapons, and they couldn't compare to the pomp and circumstance of the two families of Buddhism and Taoism, but they took the opportunity to fight the autumn breeze, and they despised it very much, but the old man was very good to them when he was alive, and the family was not bad for this kind of reward, so they went.

Directly opposite, Yang Lingsu said that the main hall to meet foreign guests has now been changed into a mourning hall. Under the eaves hangs a row of white paper lanterns, and when you look up, you can see a huge black word "Dien".

The mourning hall is solemn, the front is a white curtain that connects to the sky and the ground, and the black lacquer coffin is placed behind the curtain, only one head is exposed, and there is no one in the coffin, only a set of clothes worn by Yang Ling.

The upper part of the curtain is in block letters: "Wencheng Wu Dewei Guogong Yang Qiangu". On both sides of the curtain are hung are all couplets sent by the princely officials in Beijing, and the left and right walls are covered with sacrificial banners. On the left, the princely ministers headed by Zhu Gang, the Duke of Chengguo, and the civil and military officials headed by the three bachelors and the six Jiuqing on the right.

The content is nothing more than something like 'sound and appearance', 'immortal', 'style lasts forever' and the like, and the bottom is the inscription, and below the middle is a strip of black lacquered wooden table, on which are placed incense burners and fruits.

Cigarettes curled in the mourning hall, expensive sandalwood burned in the copper furnace crackled, and rich cigarette smoke rose up, making the mourning hall foggy. Eighteen chanting monks have retreated to the corridor to drink tea and rest, on the mourning hall, on the right side of the line kneeling Han Youniang, Yutangchun, Xue Limei and Yang Ling's nephew Yang Yunlong.

Tang Yixian was also dressed in vegetarian clothes, and he and Han Wei and his wife were facing the guests who came to worship with red and swollen eyes. The maids and maids tiptoed to change incense, cut candle heads, burn gold and silver paper bills, and the servants served tea and water, and the flow of people was continuous but silent.

Han Youniang was dressed in white, with a jute shoulder on the outside, hemp rope tied around her waist, kneeling in front of the spirit, telling her to bow and worship, telling her to stop, her eyes were empty, and her dementia was like losing her soul.

It's only been two years, and although Xianggong is away all the year round, she knows that Xianggong has her in his heart and has always loved her deeply. Xianggong is now a very popular minister, and he is already so prominent that he has always respected and loved her, the daughter of Orion who is ordinary and humble compared to the concubines.

Although Xianggong is running around, she has him in her heart, so she is down-to-earth and sweet, and now God has cruelly taken it back after only two years of giving her the greatest happiness. Two years ago, she held a funeral for her husband, she didn't know what it was like to be in love, although she was sad and cried, it was mainly an instinct to be a wife, and this time, her heart was hollowed out.

The plain candle is bleak, the wind is bleak, the paper is fluttering, and the white flowers are swaying. Yutangchun and Xuelimei were covered in vegetarian clothes, tears were broken, their crying voices were hoarse, their flowers were bleak, like rain pear flowers, they couldn't cry anymore, and they didn't dare to cry anymore, because Han Youniang had been sitting motionless here for three whole days, just kneeling here to guard the spirit, just like a clay carving and wood sculpture, neither crying, nor crying, no sound at all, no one dared to stimulate her anymore.

Others wanted to persuade her, but no matter what you said, she turned a deaf ear, Tang Yixian had no choice but to quietly invite the emperor to come, but she didn't seem to know the emperor at all, but Zhengde persuaded for a long time, she didn't say a word, but provoked Zhengde to cry. The emperor is crying, can he not cry? As a result, Liu Jin and Ma Yongcheng had no choice but to cry while forcing the screaming Emperor Zhengde out.

Seeing that the young lady's complexion was getting worse and worse, Yutangchun brought the little young master and wanted to use the child to impress her. Han Youniang took the child, breastfed and fed mechanically, and then handed it over to the old mother, and the whole process was still without saying a word. Yutang Chun and Xue Limei are not only saddened by the departure of Xianggong, but now they are also more and more worried about the situation of the young mother.

It is unthinkable to kneel motionless for three whole days, neither eating nor drinking, who can do that? No one doubted that when the funeral came out seven days later, I was afraid that this lady of the first grade would be on the road with her husband, and she was thinking of martyrdom.

Tang Yixian's eyes were red and swollen and he sent several officials away, and said to Han Wei worriedly: "Brother Han, how can this be good in such a situation as the young lady and sister?" You are her own brother, but you have to find a way, if it goes on like this, I am afraid of my sister and her."

"If the sister can cry, it will be easier to do", Han Wei said this, his nose was sore, and the tears came down again: "The sister is soft on the outside and strong on the inside, and her surname is strong." My sister-in-law hasn't seen his son yet, and now he can't even see the corpse, and she is uncomfortable."

Tang Yixian stomped his feet anxiously and said: "What the hell should I do, I'm about to die, who to discuss, even if the child is brought out, my sister didn't react at all, I'll go to Sister Wenxin to get an idea, but Sister Wenxin."

Tang Yixian's eyes were red, the corners of his mouth were flattened, and he said with a crying voice: "Sister Wenxin and Sister Young Niang look the same, and the Wenlan sisters and brothers over there are full of fire bubbles on their anxious mouths, woo woo woo", Tang Yixian couldn't hold back anymore, covered his mouth and cried again.

Han Wei gritted his teeth and said, "Women's chastity starts from the beginning; Once with it, it will not change for life. Hunger strike and martyrdom were originally a woman's virtue, and my sister was going to die as a martyr, and I, as an elder brother, should not be hindered, but now that she has Yangmen, she can't let the child just lose his father and mother."

The woman died for her husband, which was a beautiful thing at that time, and she had to be commended and praised, and everyone in the world thought that only chaste martyrs and husbands and wives had deep affection for this feat, even if they were biological parents, they had no right to stop it, Han Wei had the heart to save his sister, but he felt uneasy in his heart, and he had to give a reason first.

Tang Yixian secretly breathed a sigh of relief, since the young lady heard the news of Lord Yang's death, the whole person's consciousness has been completely closed, if she goes on a hunger strike and martyrdom, Yutangchun and Xue Limei can only follow in their footsteps, although the Yang family has become a hereditary prince, and the little grandfather has been raised by others, but Lord Yang is gone, it is enough to make people sad, how can Tang Yixian bear to lose these three sisters again.

Yun'er hurriedly said beside her: "Yes, yes, the little grandfather doesn't know his father and mother, who takes care of him is always inferior to his biological parents, if the lady has no queen, with the master going to that also makes, now the master will leave this bit of blood, the lady should be for the lord's incense descendants, so that she cherishes herself."

She is the servant girl who has followed Han Youniang for the longest time, and her feelings are also the deepest, when she heard that the uncle's tone was loose, her face turned red with excitement, and she hurriedly followed, for fear that Han Wei would change her mind again.

Han Wei said "um" and said: "I'll persuade my sister again, if she doesn't turn around and change her mind, I will stun her with one palm, Yun'er, you go back and get some millet porridge for her to pour down, her body can't stand anymore."

Yun'er nodded again and again, and Han Wei walked towards Han Youniang. Han Youniang's eyes were hollow, and when she saw someone coming to her, she couldn't tell who it was at all, but someone came to mourn again, so she put her hands on the ground, kowtowed upright, and then knelt straight on the mat.

Han Wei felt sad for a while, and said: "Sister, I am the eldest brother, you have to take care of your body, for the sake of your sister-in-law, for the sake of the child, if you have a third long and two short, when my father and second brother return to Beijing, how can I explain to them."

As he spoke, the tears came down again, Han Wei turned his head sideways to wipe his tears, his movements suddenly froze there, and his eyes were open for a while, a woman with a phoenix crown and a big red wedding robe, came in from the gate and walked towards the mourning hall step by step.

A large number of inexplicable officials followed in the back, and those who were shaking their heads in the courtyard and were about to leave the house avoided them in surprise, and the family members who were in charge of welcoming them also stood there in a panic, not daring to meet them.

"When Chang Gou'er ~ Gou Er ~ Gou Er ~ Gou Er ~~", a monk with profound cultivation and deep concentration threw away the teapot lid, and it rang loudly on the ground for a long time. One by one, the senior monks kept their original movements still, and the executives who looked like eighteen Arhats and angry eyes greeted them in surprise, and said in a trembling voice: "Miss, you are here."

Gao Wenxin glanced at him, and suddenly smiled, and the laughing executive couldn't help but take a step back.

Gao Wenxin gently stroked the spirit card in his hand, looked around, and said faintly: "My lord promised me that after October, when the snow falls, he will go back to Beijing to marry me, and now the time has come, you see this day, the snow should also fall, and Lord Yang should marry me."

The executive's heart was cold, and he said: "Miss, Lord Yang, he has already been", as soon as he met Gao Wenxin's gaze, his heart couldn't help but chill, and he couldn't take it anymore.

Gao Wenxin can speak, laugh, and move, but there is no fresh air in those eyes, which are almost exactly the same as Madame's eyes.

Gao Wenxin floated into the mourning hall like a ghost with the spirit card in his hand, and some of the officials who followed behind heard their conversation clearly, and couldn't help but shake their heads and sigh again. The black and white color of a miserable mist suddenly appeared red, which obviously stimulated Han Youniang, she looked at Gao Wenxin directly, and after a while, her eyes seemed to have a little aura, and she actually called out in a dumb voice: "Sister Wenxin, you."

Gao Wenxin put down the spirit card, knelt down on his knees and kowtowed to her, and then said with tears in his eyes: "Madam, Wenxin's family is in great trouble, and it is sent to the sect division, if it weren't for the rescue of adults, Gao Wenxin would have become either a submissive and shameless prostitute at this moment, or a pile of nameless dry bones." The adults are as kind to me as a mountain, and it is difficult to repay Wenxin's broken bones.

Madam, Wen couldn't help himself, he liked the adult, now that the adult has gone, Wen Xin knows that his identity is humble, and he is shy to come to the door, just asking for the identity of a concubine and maid, to be able to serve Mrs. justifiably, to be able to keep the festival for the adult to end his life, to worship the spirit, and to ask the lady to be fulfilled.

As she spoke, two lines of hot tears poured down again, dripping to the ground one by one as she bowed.

Han Youniang finally completely returned to her soul, and after hearing the words of this sworn sister, she shook her head in panic and said: "No, no, Sister Wenxin, it is right for me and Xue'er and Yu'er to observe the festival for each other, but how can I drag my sister's life?" If I agree, my husband will not forgive me."

Gao Wenxin wept and said: "Wen Xin is ashamed to speak, but he doesn't dare to hide it from his wife, Wen Xin has already secretly made a lifelong contract to adults. My lord, he promised me, and when I returned to Beijing, he would take me through the door. Now that the adults have gone, Wen has a heart and a heart, except that the adults don't think about it anymore, and ask the lady to be fulfilled."

Gao Wenxin said, and bowed deeply, Han Youniang was anxious to help her, but her knees were numb, and she couldn't move, so she had to say urgently: "Sister Wenxin, please get up, my sister can't stand such a big gift, Xianggong He has never talked to me about this, Xianggong has always loved and cared for his sister, and the young mother is afraid that she will mistake Xianggong's mind and harm her sister for life, and she will have no face to face Xianggong under Jiuquan."

Xue Limei saw Gao Wenxin's resolute face, and remembered the 'Spring Palace Picture' she had seen at the beginning, she and Xianggong had already been husband and wife, with Sister Wenxin's chastity, how could she allow others? She said that she was dressed in auspicious clothes and went straight to the mourning hall, if the young lady didn't agree, she was afraid that it would be a human life soon, so she hurriedly whispered a few words to Han Youniang.

Han Youniang looked at Yutangchun, Sister Yu'er nodded knowingly, Han Youniang believed it, she let out a long breath, and said, "Sister Wenxin, it's my father-in-law who is sorry for you." My sister was originally a lady of everyone, and now she is a dignified female official of the imperial court, how can she let you come to the door so contemptuously?

Xianggong has gone, Yang Mansion is my decision, the young lady wants to perform the gift of Wenjuan, three media and six certificates, eight sedan chairs to take my sister over, the time is set in Ming. Sister, you and I are friends of Jinlan, my sister has cured her husband's chronic illness, and she has a high degree of grace to my Yang family, and the young lady does not dare to compromise my sister, I will still be your young lady's sister in the future, and don't mention the word Mrs. again."

Everyone was overjoyed when they heard this, stimulated by Gao Wenxin, the spirit of the lady seemed to be back, seeing that Gao Wenxin also remembered the child, knowing that it was the right duty of a wife to raise offspring for the father-in-law, and his tone was loose, and he seemed to have eliminated the idea of suicide and martyrdom.

"Thank you Mrs. for your success, Wenxin Wenxin will be grateful for life", Gao Wenxin finished speaking, hugged the young lady, and the two hugged each other and cried, and the voice of grief was sad.

The old housekeeper wiped his tears and hurriedly went out to Zhang Luo. The concubine passed the door, how could there be so much attention, and the person who led it in was the person of the family. Now Mrs. said that she would give six gifts, and she would hire her next, which was to treat the young lady as a flat wife.

The young lady is from a family of eunuchs, young and beautiful, and is a well-known goddess doctor in the capital, but she has a bad fate, her family is in the middle, she is reduced to a maid, and she is divorced by her fiancé, which makes many rumors among the neighbors.

Now the young lady is determined to marry the master, and the eldest lady has promised her to be a flat wife, and the young lady is the lady of the main room that the grandfather of the country is marrying, although she is widowed as soon as she enters the door, but the wife of the grandfather of the country is a product, which is the blessing of several generations.

The executive's family is the old man of the Gao family, and he is sad and happy to hear the news, especially when the lady comes, the lady has eliminated the idea of martyrdom, although the master is gone, this family is still there, as the steward who manages this compound, can he not be happy?

This happy event, how can it be done, but I can't let the young lady be wronged anymore.

Although the old housekeeper Gao is well-informed, he has also heard of the marriage between the living and the dead, and the dead and the dead, but he is not clear about the specific ceremony, and it is not easy to find someone who knows how to do it in a hurry, and the family is now inseparable from him, so the senior executive's family has called two family members and sent them to the neighboring villages Baojiali is there to inquire, looking for a ghost matchmaker, to give the soul of Miss and Lord Yang, to hold a vigorous ghost marriage The news of Yang Ling's distress is eight hundred miles urgent, and it comes quickly, until today, the king of Shu Chan is located in the prince's recital to enter Beijing, In the fold, he told the reason for the Zen position, implored the emperor for permission, and described in detail how Yang Ling was wise and brave after quelling the rebellion of the Duzhang barbarians, cracked the conspiracy of the concubine Zhu Rangjin to trap and kill the prince, and kept the reputation of the king of Shu.

The letter did not mention the possibility that Zhu Rangjin might have colluded with a certain vassal king to deliberately rebel. That incident was just Zhu Rangjin's one-sided statement, and there was no evidence, so I don't know if he didn't bite indiscriminately.

If it is suspicious, it is only King Ning, but judging from the information sent back by the fans of Yang Ling's faction to spread the world, in addition to the bandits everywhere in the countryside, the gangs in the city, and the miasma of smoke, King Ning spent all his time drinking and drinking, and there was no change in the slightest, and you really can't do anything about him.

Second, although there is a bad Zhu Rangjin in the Shu Palace, Zhu Binhan and Zhu Rangxu are indeed very virtuous, once they are involved in the rebellion, these two will have to be withdrawn and escorted back to Beijing to be imprisoned. Yu Gong suddenly changed the political pattern of Sichuan for more than 100 years, and at this delicate moment, it is bound to cause turmoil. In private, there are many vassal kings in the world who are full of fish and meat and scourge places, but a pair of virtuous kings are locked up, and Yang Ling also feels unfair in his heart.

The most important thing is that if this matter is played publicly, and it is impossible to point out which feudal king is colluding with, the real rebels will inevitably be vigilant, and they will be more cautious in disguise, and it will be difficult to catch him, and they will also frighten other feudal kings to be suspicious.

Political things are like this, if one thing is not handled carefully, it will not only produce troubles, but also produce other unpredictable consequences under the promotion of other forces, with this consideration, Yang Ling and Zhu Rangxu discussed and agreed, temporarily concealed this matter, and then discussed it privately with the emperor after Yang Ling returned to Beijing, so Zhengde did not know the details, and after reading this letter, Zhengde was even more depressed. Yang Ling was sent by him to Sichuan to investigate the rebellion of the king of Shu. Yang Ling broke through the Nine Silk City and won a peaceful victory after the good news flew to the Beijing Division, and in the compromise, he had already relieved the doubts of the King of Shu, and detailed the actions of the King of the Golden Bricks to imitate the Son of Heaven.

He was boasted and flattered, set himself up as a king, set up a dragon chair, wore a dragon robe, and paved gold bricks. If he had known that this would be the case, Emperor Zhengde would have preferred that he had not made that decree in the first place.

Zhengde held the fold of the King of Shu in his sleeve and boarded the Luan Driver, his face was gloomy just like the weather today, the lead clouds were dense, and the frightened honor guard was silent, no one dared to make a sound, and hundreds of people arrived in front of the Jinluan Palace, which was solemn and neat, and the birds were silent.

Emperor Zhengde ascended to the Jinluan Palace, ascended the throne of the Ming Dynasty, sat down slowly with the dragon head in both hands, and walked to the middle of the hall with hundreds of civil and military officials, bowed down and bowed down, and the mountain shouted long live.

Zhengde waved his hand with a gloomy face, and said perfunctorily: "Zhongqing is flat."

The officials picked up the hugging wat, got up, tidied up their clothes, and after a mess, they retreated to the left and right to stand in shifts according to the civil and military forces. Zhengde said: "Ladies and gentlemen, last night, I received a report from the King of Shu in Sichuan, saying that he was sick and lacked energy, so."

The officials held the wat with both hands, did not squint, looked at the nose and nose, and listened to the emperor's speech, and suddenly felt that the emperor's speech was getting slower and slower, and couldn't help but glance at the throne strangely, only to see Zhengde holding a letter in his hand, staring ahead, looking at it for a while, and suddenly said: "Whose thing is this?" ”

Everyone followed Zhengde's gaze, the middle of the hall on the ground, a paper roll is placed there, the paper roll is not big, but the smooth mirror-like gold brick ground is the same thing, and it is facing the palace gate, the weather is gloomy, the reflection is not strong, so the paper roll is stacked in the center of the hall to see clearly, it is very eye-catching.

At that moment, there was a closer Yushi Lord walked over and picked up the paper roll, as soon as he saw that there was a seal, there was a bundle of threads, obviously not a random discarded thing, and he didn't dare to litter in the Golden Palace, he looked left and right to see that no one claimed it, so he bowed down and saluted, picked up the paper roll with both hands, and said: "Your Majesty."

Zhengde waved his hand, and the little eunuch waiting next to the throne hurriedly walked down, stepped forward to take it, and returned to hand it to Zhengde respectfully, Zhengde raised it in his hand and said loudly: "Which Aiqing belongs to this scroll?" Let's see, who dropped it? ”

Hundreds of civil and military officials subconsciously touched the sleeves of their robes and waist bags, you look at me, I look at you, there is no squeak. Emperor Zhengde saw that no one claimed the lost property, so he opened the silk thread, unfolded the paper scroll and looked at it, he only looked at it a few times, then his face changed, looked at the ministers and smiled coldly, and said: "Who wrote this letter to me?" Stand up and speak! ”

Only then did the adults know that someone was using this way to deliver an anonymous letter to the emperor, but the hundred officials stood up, each with a whole set of robes, tooth wat and black yarn, who has nothing to look at the soles of their feet, and they are used to the spotless appearance of the Golden Palace, who would have thought that something would appear under their feet?

Zhengde was in a bad mood, and when he saw that no one answered, he couldn't help but be furious, and said: "If it is an official, he is not guilty of his words, and if it is other ministers, he should also be admonished according to reason, am I a faint king who can't listen to things?" Need sneaky, anonymous submissions? ”

The ministers looked at each other, but none of them stood up to admit it, Zhengde stood up angrily, flicked his sleeve robe and said: "Drive back to the palace!" ”

The civil and military officials looked at each other, the emperor didn't say that he was scattered, he couldn't go, and it was boring to stay, until Emperor Zhengde angrily took the little eunuch to the old residence of the Xinuan Pavilion of the Qianqing Palace to sulk, and the Golden Palace became lively.

Hundreds of civil and military officials gathered in twos and threes and asked each other: "Alas, Lao Zhang, do you see clearly, what is written, provoke the emperor to be so atmospheric."

"Lord Liu, aren't you looking at it, no one recognized me when I picked it up, didn't I immediately present it to the emperor, how do I know what to write."

"Lord Chen, the location of the drop seems to be that you were standing there when you saw the emperor just now, right?"

"Ouch, Master Li, familiar to familiar, don't make such a terrible joke, don't you see how angry the emperor is? This admonisher doesn't even dare to write his name, and he doesn't need to ask about the things in it, and he definitely won't listen to it, do you think I seem to be a disobedient person? ”

"What I'm saying is that Lord Chen is a cautious person. Besides, when people crowd everyone and everyone is going to get up, whoever throws it away will stick to the gold bricks and come over, and the ground is seen every day, and whoever is still staring at it, it's hard to say who threw it."

The Fengtian Palace was like a vegetable market for a while, noisy and messy, Li Dongyang, as the first assistant of the cabinet, saw that it was not like words, so he raised his voice and said: "Quiet! Quiet! This is the early dynasty of the political discussion, it is the Jinluan Palace, and they all abide by some rules, so noisy, what kind of system? General Stand in the Palace, maintain order".

There were officials who were familiar with Li Dongyang, so they said loudly: "Scholar Li, the emperor is leaving with his sleeves up, and this government cannot be discussed. ”

"Yes, Master Li, in my yamen, the official pile is one person high, and it's not a way to spend it here, is the scholar going to persuade the emperor to come back?"

Li Dongyang was helpless, and discussed a few words with Jiao Fang and Yang Tinghe in a low voice, and then beckoned to a small yellow door, asking him to immediately urge the emperor to come to the court, or meet the three scholars.

The little yellow door got the letter, and went to the harem with a smoke.

Liu Jin heard that someone had thrown an anonymous letter in the morning in the court, which made the emperor angry, and now he was sulking in the Qianqing Palace, so he hurriedly rushed over, and the little yellow door was met at the gate of the Qianqing Palace, he asked about the situation, let the little yellow door stand aside first, and rushed into the palace to see Zhengde.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw Zhengde Zheng and Princess Yongchun talking, and I only heard Princess Yongchun say: "The royal brother lives in the leopard park, and he doesn't go back to the palace for the whole day.

Liu Jin took advantage of what she said and quickly interjected: "The old slave has seen the emperor and Her Royal Highness Princess Yongchun."

Yongchun ignored him, Zhengde ignored him, Zhengde said: "What, is my sister sick?" ”

"It should be, it's been three days, and it's been fine, but suddenly I don't like to talk, and I don't have an appetite for food, so I called the doctor, and I only said that the weather is getting cold, and the wind is cold, so that the cold invades inside, and I lose my appetite, and I prescribed medicine for my sister to recuperate, but it didn't work."

Zhengde is getting older, and he is more caring for his sister, and when he heard it, he immediately fell in love, so he got up and said: "These waste doctors, the queen mother is old, and it is not easy to cure it, why can't even the royal sister be cured by a little wind and cold?" Let's go, take me to see."

He glanced at Liu Jin, remembered the anonymous letter on the table, and said indignantly: "Liu Jin, you are in charge of two factories and one guard, and now I have issued an order to you, go and check it out for me, and arrest this anonymous person who wrote the book to me, and the court staff is thirty." Hum! The speaker is not guilty, no Ming monarch does not allow his courtiers to admonish, but now there are people who hide their heads and show their tails and play the book on the Golden Palace in an anonymous way, which is really unreasonable.

As soon as the wind of anonymous 'secret Cambodia' is opened, in the future, the ministers will attack each other, intrigue with each other, form parties and disrupt the government, and the court will be ruined. Especially the letter is groundless, there is still content involving you, look at it yourself, you must find out this person! ”

Liu Jin rushed over, and was for the secret advice. Liu Jin is the best at figuring out the psychology of others, he knows how to please the emperor, what the emperor hates, then follow what he hates, the emperor feels that the ministers ignore him, then our family understands him, can the emperor still think that our family is amiable and approachable, is he a courtier who knows him?

So he wanted to inquire and understand why the emperor was angry, so as to show understanding, get closer, and discuss it with the emperor. In short, standing in the same trench as the emperor, you will definitely not stand on the wrong team.

Besides, now he has to look at the official documents of the six Jiuqing first, and then he can take them back for processing, who has the courage of a tiger, and dares to vote for an anonymous letter without letting him see it first, isn't this across the pot on the kang? Do you still have rules in the court?

Now when he heard that the secret Cambodia was still involved in him, Liu Jin was startled, and he didn't dare to ask more in front of Princess Yongchun.

The secret advice listed his ten major crimes, beautifully written, harshly worded, including his embezzlement of public funds on the occasion of repairing the leopard park, as well as hiring hunters in Qingzhou, Shandong Province to catch tigers, but not paying pensions to the dead, and the hunters carried the corpses in protest, and he mobilized the army to forcibly suppress them, and the public resentment was boiling, but he reported that the emperor had been gracious and appeased the people of Qingzhou for the crime of bullying the king.

These things are true, which naturally shocked and frightened him, but what made him even more angry was his decree to increase taxes in Fujian and Sichuan, and to extort officials and rich gentry with fines instead of laws, which was a good way for him to come up with painstaking efforts, which could not only increase the revenue of the imperial court's overstretched and increasingly strapped finances, but also solve the problem of lack of food and salary for the army in the northwest frontier.

"I'm dedicated to the emperor and the court! These bastards don't have any ability, so they can't think of a way, they are quite capable of finding faults, and they are looking at our family, the nose is not the nose, and the eyes are not the eyes", Liu Jinjue's innocence, grievance, and wrongdoing, the anger in his chest is getting stronger and stronger.

He knew that those courtiers looked down on him from the bottom of their bones, and they were even more disdainful of him than that dead ghost Yang Ling, who made him a eunuch, congenitally deficient. For those officials, no matter who wins or loses in the political struggle, even if the opponent is a straw bag, a subordinate, an illiterate, or a reckless man who disdains him, he is not so sad in his heart, after all, he is still of the same grade as himself, he is a minister, and he is a man.

But what are those weird minions? Waiting for the emperor's eunuchs and subordinates, a group of goods who are neither male nor female. was pressed down by a eunuch, just like a lady from a famous family for generations and a lady who was married to a Ming media, but she was reduced to being on an equal footing with the concubine from the Qinglou, and from time to time she had to be in charge of the house and listen to her instructions: Is it bearable, which is unbearable?

Now that there are more officials who have taken refuge in Liu Jin, his ears and eyes are becoming more and more informed, and he gradually knows what the scholars in the Hanlin Academy and the Inspectorate think of him. "Okay, I'm corrupt, you sue me, okay! I took bribes, you sue me, okay! Our family tried our best to give the emperor a good idea, just because I came up with it, you also sued me indiscriminately, and you were anonymous? Yes! ”

Liu Jin gritted his teeth and sneered: "Ye is still a concubine and a bitch, what's the matter?" The emperor spoils me, so you can go sour! Today, the emperor handed over this mission to me, see how Grandpa Liu regulates you, a group of shameless things! ”

His face was pale, and he put the secret advice into his sleeve, the paper was ordinary paper, and the words were obviously written with his left hand, twisted and crooked, who could not get along with himself?

In addition to listing his own ten major crimes, the secret Cambodia also listed Yang Ling's six inappropriatenesses, such as violating the 'effective' policy of appeasement and softness that the Ming court has always adopted against the barbarians, and mobilizing troops without permission. Another example is the promotion of Yang Ling to the prince of the country, and the reward is too heavy. Thick Wencheng, Wude four-character nickname, Ling Frame above all the sages and heroes of this dynasty and so on.

"In this way, it is not Yang Ling's remnants. Well, Yang Ling's faction is now leaderless, Liu Yu was polite when he saw himself yesterday, quite stammering, these people are hugging our family's thighs, without Yang Ling, how can they have the courage to go against our family, if they want to say that they are not afraid of death."

A grim smile appeared on Liu Jin's face: "If you want to say that you don't know the current affairs, don't know how to lift, and don't know how to advance and retreat, there are only those stupid and corrupt Qingliu Confucianists."

He strode out of the Qianqing Palace, called the little yellow door and said, "Are the ministers still waiting in the Golden Palace?" ”

Xiao Huangmen hurriedly said: "Yes, father-in-law, the emperor did not issue an order to retreat from the dynasty, and the civil and military officials had to wait in the Golden Palace, so they sent a small one to promote it."

Liu Jin gritted his teeth and smiled, and said gloomily: "Don't rush it, you go back immediately, tell the civil and military officials, and say that the emperor will thoroughly investigate the ministers who slander the ministers and those who talk about the government, and our family will be there immediately, and we will wait in the Golden Palace!" ”

Seeing his hideous face, Xiao Huangmen couldn't help but be smart, hurriedly agreed, and hurriedly rushed back to the Golden Palace to report the news. Liu Jin hatefully called a guard and said, "Go quickly, ask Shi Wenyi to immediately lead five hundred inner brocade guards and go to the Golden Palace to wait, our family is ordered to take the thief and ask the case!" ”

The ministers were looking forward to the emperor's return to the court, and they saw that the little yellow door rushed back with a smoke, and opened his voice and said: "Passing the decree, the emperor and the celebrant Liu Gonggong thoroughly investigated the secret Cambodia in the Golden Palace, and the civil and military officials are waiting in the Golden Palace. ”

There was a sudden silence in the Golden Palace, and all the officials speculated: "Slandering the minister, talking about chaos?" Who is this? ”

"Oh, it turned out to refer to Gonggong Liu", as soon as he saw Liu Jin's face was pale, his lips were pursed into a line, and there was fire in his eyes, all the officials suddenly realized, and some people secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and waited with a smile to see the excitement.

Liu Jin walked up to the main hall step by step, stood in front of the throne in front of the Ming Dynasty, swept his eyes left and right, held up the paper scroll with compassion, and said sharply: "Which adult's handwriting is this?" ”

“”

"Hehehe, dare not do it, it's a man, just stand up for you!"

The side is still quiet, but after a moment of silence, there was a sudden whispering laughter, a eunuch and people fighting, and dare to stand up with a straight waist and ask someone to stand up if they are a man, isn't this funny?

Liu Jin also reacted immediately, and suddenly his old face was like chicken blood, and the two little yellow men next to him were afraid that Liu Gonggong's face would explode with a "bang". Liu Jin, these eunuchs with status, are commensurate with each other in the palace, he said that he was used to it, and he slipped out casually.

The biggest taboo in the hearts of eunuchs is their physical defects, some of them are extremely inferior, and some of them regard this as a big taboo, whoever dares to joke with him about this, he will dare to play with you. With Liu Jin's powerful position, how could he be ridiculed like this?

The laughter pierced into his heart like a needle, Liu Jin suddenly burst out loud and laughed three times, and shouted: "Toast without eating and drinking, right?" Okay, then we'll play with you, and if you want to play, we'll play in the big room. Someone's coming! ”

Shi Wenyi led two classes of brocade guards to rush to the Golden Palace, glanced at the ministers with a swagger, and arched his hand to Liu Jin: "Please give orders from my father-in-law!" ”

Liu Jin wiped his lips and said, "Invite all the adults out and kneel under the Fengtian Gate until you find the person who gave the letter, otherwise, no one will want to leave."

"Obey!" Shi Wenyi pressed the embroidered spring knife in his hand and began to command the Jinyi guard to drive people out, the ministers were shocked and angry, some distinguished, some shouted grievances, and some of the bold ones scolded on the spot, Liu Jin listened to the more scolding the happier he was, but he just sneered and said nothing.

Shi Wenyi and Yang Yu are the leaders of the Jinyi Guards in charge of the palace, they were originally Qian Ning's subordinates, Qian Ning went to Nanjing Zhenfu Division, Shao Commander took office, and was taken into custody by Liu Jin during the prison period, Liu Jin used both soft and hard methods, and recruited these two Jinyi Wei Qianhu into his own door and became his lackey eagle dog.

In the current month, the wind is cold and swishing, looking at the weather, the lead clouds are dense and the wind is gusting, maybe the first snow will come soon. The ministers on horseback and in the sedan chair took off their heavy clothes outside the noon gate and gave them to their subordinates.

"Kneel down, Gonggong Liu is following the emperor's will, and he is a special case, who dares to resist the order?" The brocade guards shouted.

Some officials knelt down in shame and indignation, and most of the arrogant ones were persuaded to kneel down by their colleagues and friends, leaving only two or three stubborn ones, shouting: "Soldiers can be killed but not humiliated, the emperor is not here, how can I kneel to a eunuch?" ”

The two or three of them were quickly dragged out by the Jinyi Wei like sorghum stalks, and they were taken to a secluded place to enjoy special treatment. Li Dongyang's lips trembled, and he said in a trembling voice: "Gonggong Liu, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are kneeling outside the Fengtian Palace, how can this emperor be like this."

Liu Jin was very polite to him, and hurriedly smiled: "Our family is on an errand by the emperor's order, otherwise who would want to offend so many adults?" Lord Li, Lord Jiao, and Lord Yang, the three of you are the first assistant of the cabinet, standing at the front, there must be no suspicion in this matter, the three of you please be the one on the side, hurry up and give the three scholars a seat."

After Liu Jin finished speaking, he turned around and walked up to His Majesty, looking around, majestic in all directions, the wind-blown python robe rose and fell, as if the embroidered python on the top was alive, this feeling is really good.

Li Dongyang thought that he would urge the emperor after someone went, but the eunuchs in the palace were afraid of Liu Jin, and without his order, who would dare to act rashly? Bi Yun, the eunuch of the palace, felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly walked up to His Majesty Dan, and whispered: "Gonggong Liu, you are standing here interrogating hundreds of officials, this is not appropriate."

Liu Jin was not well from the cold, and when he was blown by the wind, his snot flowed out again, he took out a handkerchief and wiped it, and asked, "What's wrong with this?" ”

Bi Yun is an honest and honest eunuch, his rank is quite high, not below Liu Jin, but he is the steward father-in-law who is in charge of the Golden Palace, although his position is high, he has neither real power nor oil and water. Because he has no conflict of interest with Liu Jin, and he is an old man in the palace, Liu Jin respects him a lot.

Bi Yun persuaded: "Gonggong Liu, the hundred officials knelt down towards His Royal Highness Jinluan, but the father-in-law stood on top of His Majesty Dan as if he was courteous, if he was impeached, it would be a crime of trespassing."

"Ah, it makes sense, what Father-in-law Bi mentioned is that Liu Jin is very thankful, thank you very much."

Liu Jin hurriedly walked down from His Majesty, ran to the porch on the east side of Fengtian Gate and stood there, interrogating the hundred officials from the side. But no matter how he asked, he even smirked and said that as long as someone recruited him, he promised not to be held accountable, but none of the officials nodded, hating Liu Jin's teeth, so he simply asked someone to move a chair and sit under the porch, holding a pot of hot tea in his hand: Look at which of us has beaten whom!

It's been almost two hours, and the people below are kneeling with back pain and numb legs, and some people can't support it, so they just sit on the ground. Jiao Ge Lao twisted his beard, lowered his head, raised his white eight-character eyebrows slightly, his eyes narrowed into a triangle, he glanced at the group of ministers, and quickly withdrew his gaze: "Alas! Sin, sin! Who knew that Liu Jin was so angry, colleagues, ahem, the old man is really sorry."

Liu Jin was idle, heard Jiao Fang coughing, turned around and smiled: "It's cold this day, the old man is very old, if it is cold, it is not our family, come on, go and add a robe to the three adults, and each serve a pot of hot tea."

Jiao Fang hurriedly said: "Thank you Father-in-law Liu, thank you Father-in-law Liu, father-in-law, although the father-in-law was ordered by the emperor to let him be an official to the first grade, he is a very popular minister, and he has to kneel under the king's order, but after all, there is only one real murderer among the ministers, uh, everyone else is innocent." Look at all the lords of Shangshu, that's the six departments and nine qing, is it gracious to the father-in-law who can't kneel down for a long time."

Liu Jin glanced at him, looked back, he was getting less angry now, and he felt that it was a bit too domineering to let Liubu Jiuqing kneel so long, and besides, there were his own people inside. Liu Jin sighed, and said: "Just look at the face of Jiao Ge Lao, come on, please Shangshu adults, all the scholars were helped aside, and immediately an official of the Inspectorate was dissatisfied, got up and shouted: "Father-in-law Liu, the official is not guilty, our Inspectorate is doing this errand, there are many people who have been impeached by us, and there are many officials of all sizes, and we have never seen us use this method, how can there be such a thing as hiding our heads and covering our faces now?" Our Inspectorate has been wronged."

Liu Jin touched his chin: "It's such a reason, the official is playing, if it is useful, it will be useful, if it is useless, he will be a fart, and no one has really held the inspectorate responsible, what are they afraid of, well, it is definitely not what they did."

"Okay, let's get up, step aside, rest and leave, what should you do?"

The ministers were stunned for a while, but Liu Jin kept saying that he had given the holy edict, he didn't allow it, and if he really got up, he had to behead according to the protest order, and the officials had to grit their teeth and endure secretly, and secretly looked at the three cabinet scholars.

The three of them sighed secretly, avoiding the eyes of the officials and looking in the direction of the harem. Liu Jin is flying high, who can stop it? Unless the emperor hears the news and rushes to come, where is the savior?

A horse came to the west, ran along the field path, and rolled up the wind and dust all the way.

There were already scattered snow grains falling, and the knight on the horse squinted his eyes, and his upper body clinged to the horse's mane to avoid the wind, and the horse galloped fast, and occasionally the village man passed by with a hoe, and he couldn't see his appearance clearly.

Behind, there are more than ten horses one after another, just because the track and field is narrow, it is difficult to allow two horses to ride together, and it is easy to collide and be injured between the rushes, so each horse is separated by a distance of more than ten zhang.

Gao Laozhuang, Yang Mansion, is doing a happy event, bringing joy in the funeral, what to do with this ceremony, the executive's family does not know, fortunately, the servant is in Sanggangou, and invited a master who knows how to marry a ghost Luo Huaman, after Master Luo's guidance, the family does not need to change to a happy color, everything follows the normal steps of marriage, the real key point lies in the talismans and spells of these ghost matchmakers, and the executives are relieved.

In fact, this Luo Huaman is a deceitful person, he really understands the steps and rituals of marrying a dead man, but it is a marriage between a dead man and a dead man, at his mercy, and finally he lied and pulled it round, got the woman's bones out of the grave, and made a round grave with the man, even if it was done. As for the marriage between the living and the dead, he has also heard it and does not understand this.

Although he doesn't understand, he is bold, he is the only one who can marry a ghost in ten miles and eight towns, he doesn't understand, and he is afraid that he will not be able to get a bunch of orphans and widows? The Yang family has a lot of money.

Under his arrangement, the Yang Mansion was covered in silver, the mourning hall was filled with cigarette smoke, and the drums, chimes, bells, and cymbals were making a transcendence. Outside the gate, the sound of locks, a small sedan chair with a red nickname, and the family members wearing red and hanging colors went down to the door.

Although the weather is not good, the wind is cold and urgent, but there are many people who come outside the gate to congratulate each other. Gao Wenxin is a local, everyone has the surname Gao, there are some relatives, and the people who have received her favor have rushed dozens of miles to congratulate her.

There was a white horse next to the sedan chair, and there was a little scholar sitting right away, the long one was called a handsome man, so that these big girls and little daughters-in-law in the village saw it, and their eyes were full of fire, and they couldn't wait to swallow him in one bite. He was wearing a champion robe, a champion hat, a big red cross on his chest, and holding Yang Ling's tablet in his arms, but he was Tang Yixian who disguised himself as a man to marry his brother.

"Stop, stop", Luo Huaman stammered to stop the team, grabbed a handful of yellow rice from the bowl, looked at the sky, and stretched his voice and said: "Yang Ling Yang Ling, I know your name, the sky is high and the road is far away, you will go thousands of miles, the wife enters the door, where is the heroic spirit coming to see~~~~."

"Bang la la la", the copper bell in his hand just shook a few times, and a dusty yellow horse rushed out of the right diagonal thorn, and there was no straight avenue in front of the Yang family, all of them turned out from the right. At the beginning, Yang Hu and his wife were very anxious to ride a horse, and when they arrived at that place, a beautiful horse man stood up, and then turned the horse.

The same was true of the knight on the horse, and the horse man stood up, black smoke billowing from his feet, as if the horse were riding in the clouds, and then the steed turned, and with a long neigh, he was in front of the door, and swept the large cloud of dust with him.

The fans were furious, and the people who pushed away the congratulatory gift surrounded them angrily, and the people on the horse had been united with their waists, and then they straightened their waists and sat up.

When he saw the blowing and blowing at the door, and there was a sedan chair parked next to it, he couldn't help but be startled, and immediately said in horror: "I just died, and my bones are not cold, who is this going to remarry?" ”

This sentence was so powerful that suddenly the drum stopped beating, the trumpet stopped blowing, and everyone looked at him dumbfounded. Some villagers who recognized Yang Ling suddenly found that this beard was stubble, and the body and body were all gray and hazy soil, like a monster that had just come out of the ground, and there were eight points like Wei Guogong, who had died, and then thought of what he had just said, and suddenly let out a terrible scream: "Ghost! ”

At the moment, ten percent of the people walked seventy percent, the remaining one percent were stunned, two percent were slow to react, the fans were out of the sheath, trembling, Yang Ling ignored it, he suddenly found that the kid on the white horse opposite was a little familiar, looked at it carefully, and couldn't help laughing: "An immortal? ”

Tang Yixian glared at him, his teeth rang out, his body was like a swing, and he had to say, "You, you, why are you really here?" ”
