This period of effort, Liu Jin agitated like a spring in the room, one sentence in the east and one sentence in the west, although it was not coherent, but it also faintly expressed that the emperor should look at the sea to expand the territory now, so that Weijiayu is the meaning of the royal road, and the little emperor of Zhengde who is a good joy is itchy, and he can't wait to immediately build a cloud warship, Jingqing Haijiang, and establish immortal meritorious deeds.

But he knew that he could only think about it, these things were not something that could be done by thinking about it, if the Manchu Dynasty civil and military insisted on disobeying, and he, the emperor, could not roll up his arms and sleeves and personally go out to build ships and train troops, it seems that this matter has to wait.

Yang Ling returned to the study, afraid that Zhengde would ask about Cheng Qiyun, so he hurriedly put the long sword on both hands, and said with a smile: "The minister knows that the emperor is still a martial soldier, and he happened to find a treasure knife that sharpens iron like clay, and it is specially dedicated to the emperor for appreciation."

Zhengde heard that it was a divine weapon, and he was really surprised, he hurriedly took it and drew the knife out of the sheath with a "click", and suddenly the room was full of light, the long knife body was slender, the blade was as thin as paper, and the dragon pattern appeared on the snowy blade, and the cold light was shining and sharp.

Yang Ling smiled and said, "This is."

"Wa knife, this is the best treasure knife", Zhengde interrupted his words, excitedly said, he raised the knife to the level of his eyebrows, squinted at the blade, and then raised the knife with both hands to test the weight of the knife, and said with a smile: "This knife seems to be a few points better than the Japanese knife hidden in the palace, and the knife casting technique is more than before."

Yang Ling said in surprise: "The emperor recognizes this knife?" ”

Masanori smiled proudly: "There are six treasure swords in the palace that are said to be paid tribute by Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, and I often use them to play with, but that is the knife from a hundred years ago. ”

During the Yongle period, the envoys of the Ryukyus, the Ben and Siam countries went to the Ming Dynasty to pay tribute, and Ashikaga Yoshimitsu had paid tribute to the sword of the sixth, and two years later the Yongle Emperor sent Zheng He to unify the water division 100,000 to arrive in the book, and proclaimed to Ashikaga Yoshimitsu: "Let it suppress the Kou on its own and govern the law of the country."

At the same time, the Yongle Emperor gave Ashikaga Yoshimitsu the golden seal of "King of Sayben" and named him King of Akagayama, and Ashikaga Yoshimitsu wrote back to call himself "King of Akagamoto, Minister Source Yoshimitsu", and handed over the captured Japanese to the Ming Dynasty to show his sincerity.

Yang Ling just knew that the Ming Dynasty had a joint fight against pirates, so he specially prepared this treasure knife and dedicated it to Zhengde with his own hands, wanting to take the opportunity to speak, but he didn't expect Zhengde to know everything about this matter.

Yang Ling was surprised, this time the original words had to be reorganized, he was thinking about it, Zhengde wiped the blade with his fingers, and said happily: "Kunyi Dao is far from being reopened, who can be poor in the world's jade cutting?"

The treasure knife is close to the country, and the more Jia De's cangis, the east of the sea.

The fish skin is covered with fragrant wood sheaths, yellow and white miscellaneous hooks and copper; Hundreds of gold into the hands of good deeds, admiration can make the demon murderer.

Yang Shi reads, this is the Song Dynasty Ouyang Xiu's poem praising the sword, and the sword was already famous at that time. The knife is derived from the Tang knife, which is made by the steel-clad method, that is, the commonly said iron knife, the end is extremely sharp, this knife is indeed a treasure knife, what is the name? ”

Without waiting for Yang Ling to answer, he had already turned over the blade of the knife, and saw the two Chinese characters on the handle: "Broken Waves", and couldn't help laughing: "The knife is a good knife, but it is also a little arrogant. Broken waves? Hmph, broken waves! ”

Yang Ling couldn't imagine that Zhengde was so interested in weapons, and he knew so much, he admired and said: "Yes, most of the people in Ben Lang use this kind of sharp weapons that are conducive to chopping, and the ministers are in Jiangnan, and they see that the weapons of my Ming army are not as good as people, and there are many inferior in the battle array, so that if everyone in the Ming army is equipped with such sharp swords, the Japanese people will not dare to be so rampant."

Zhengde laughed when he heard this: "Although Yang Shiyu has a good way of leading the troops, after all, he is from a show, hahaha Everyone in my Ming army wears this kind of steel-clad blade?" Impossible, impossible".

Yang Ling saw him laughing, and couldn't help but hurriedly say, "What's impossible?" The sharpness of the emperor's Longquan sword is not under this knife, can't the Ming Dynasty cast this knife? ”

Zhengde said with a smile: "It's not that there are no knife casting craftsmen, it's really time-consuming and laborious to make knives made by steel, and the steel needed is more from Hamiwei, and the output is not enough. I can't do it even if I have a mountain of silver."

Yang Ling couldn't imagine that this little emperor usually looked like he didn't learn and didn't know how to do it, and he preferred to study some things that music and Buddhist scriptures had nothing to do with governance, but when it came to weapons, he was an expert, and he couldn't hide it if he wanted to, so he couldn't help but say in frustration: "In this way, we can only succumb to the inferior in weapons?" ”

His heart moved, and he thought of firearms, if he made a rifle with a long range and a fast rate of fire, he should be able to deal with the advantages of the sword, and if he developed a cannon with great lethality, he should be able to deal with it."

Zhengde said with a smile: "Weapons are not as good as people, so there may not be no way to restrain him."

He had the opportunity to show off his knowledge, and his eyebrows were very proud, "The steel knife is sharp and hard, but once it is damaged by a hard collision, it becomes irreparable scrap iron, which can be restrained with an iron rod or a thick-backed knife."

He divided his feet slightly, and waved the treasure knife twice with a "whoosh": "It is said that the knife is heavy on speed and uses arm strength, so the knife is impossible to be too heavy.

Now there are still spears used by most of the soldiers in the army, right? The wooden handle of the spear will naturally break under such a sharp sword, but if the handle is soaked in boiling tung oil, it is tough and strong, even if only a spear is used, the knife will not take advantage of it."

Yang Ling was dumbfounded, he wanted to show off the cleverness of other countries and arouse Zhengde's yearning, but he never imagined that Zhengde could come up with such a solution.

Yang Ling said convincingly: "The emperor is wise, and when the minister saw that the enemy's weapon was powerful, he thought that he could only restrain it by creating a more powerful weapon, but he didn't think of such a simple, feasible and practical method, he was really ashamed."

Zhengde saw that he was sharp, so he smiled smugly: "Yang Shiyu doesn't have to be ashamed of himself, in fact, how could I come up with this idea?" When you were in Haining, a branch of the guards escaped, and the news came back to Beijing, and the officials and envoys all asked for severe punishment of the leading generals, but only one of them wrote that the weapons of the guard were inferior to the other party, and proposed these methods.

He thought for a moment and said, "Who is that man?" Wang Wang Heren, a petty official Liu Jin, do you remember? ”

Liu Jin was taken aback, the head of the military department named Wang Shouren, an official the size of a sesame mung bean, dared to fold up and plead for Dai Mo and other officials, calling him a power annihilation, and now he was thrown into prison by his court staff for thirty, just because that person was the son of Wang Hua, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and he hadn't thought of how to deal with it for a while, how could the emperor think of him.

Liu Jin squeaked and said: "Well, the slave can't remember it clearly, it seems that there is such an official."

Yang Ling sounded familiar, and was about to interject to ask, but when he saw Cheng Qiyun Shi Shiran walking in, he stopped. Cheng Qiyun didn't squint, didn't look at Yang Ling, and smiled at Zhengde with a calm expression: "Although the grass people don't know martial arts, they can also see that the emperor's knife is murderous, and it is a treasure knife."

Zhengde said with a smile: "Exactly, Yang Shiyu knows my heart very well, and the things he found for me are very suitable for my taste, although the Middle Earth is large, it seems that there are still some good things outside the world."

Cheng Qiyun said happily: "What the emperor said is very true, although the Ming Dynasty is big, it can't cover the four seas, don't say anything else, just say that the onions, garlic, coriander, celery, cucumbers, eggplants, and many vegetable seasonings, grapes, watermelons, pomegranates and other fruits that are used by Wang Hou Gongqing and peddlers and pawns are not all passed down from abroad in the Han and Tang dynasties.

At that time, land, horses, and waterways could not go far, but now it is different, and there are countries visiting from thousands of miles away. As the saying goes, there are mountains outside the mountains, and there are heavens outside the sky.

If the Heavenly Empire has a great tolerance, if it is good at learning the strengths of others and gathering things from all over the world, there are courtiers in the court who are loyal to the country and Lord Yang, and the emperor knows how to make good use of people, rewards and punishments are appropriate, so the monarch and the ministers are united, why not create a prosperous Ming Dynasty and leave a legacy through the ages? ”

Liu Jin couldn't help but smile when he heard Cheng Qiyun rank him in front of Yang Ling and praise him for his loyalty and ability in front of the emperor. Zhengde also nodded again and again, looking thoughtful.

If he says some big truths, he may not listen to them, but Cheng Qiyun starts with the onions and garlic that are indispensable to every family, and what he says is simple and nuanced but easier for people to accept.

Yang Ling saw that she expressed what she was about to say so euphemistically, and couldn't help but glance at her approvingly, and there was already remorse in her heart: Am I too unbearable to look at others? actually pulled out her sword and threatened her directly, was it because she left too deep an impression on me with Mo Qinghe, or did her cunning of not letting her eyebrows make me wary?

After Cheng Qiyun finished speaking, she glanced at him quickly, and when she met his gaze, her eyes first converged, and then she noticed that his gaze was a little unusual, and her eyes were raised and she glanced deeply, and then she smiled faintly, her eyebrows were like light smoke, and she couldn't tell whether she was happy or sad.

Zhengde listened to Yang Ling talk about the trip to Jiangnan in the inner study, Cheng Qiyun was clever and well-behaved, singing and singing on the side, speaking vividly, Zhengde heard the folk customs and customs with relish, and heard those lawless ministers and was so angry that his face was red. It wasn't until twilight that Liu Jin reminded him that it was time to go back to the palace.

Han Youniang led Yutangchun and Xue Limei to send the holy car away from the back garden, Yang Ling and Cheng Qiyun accompanied Zhengde to the front hall, stood under the corridor, Liu Jin ran down the steps to direct people to pull out two white horses from the side yard corridor to set the wheel.

Cheng Qiyun was quick-witted, saw Zhengde's expression, and knew that the emperor might have something in his heart to talk to Yang Ling privately, so he followed Liu Jin with a smile with the "Broken Wave" sword, leaving a little time for the two to be alone.

Zhengde stood under the corridor and smiled at Yang Ling: "Okay, don't always pretend to be garlic at home, give you another ten days to rest, and then honestly return to the court."

Yang Ling said: "Your Majesty, even if the minister returns to the court, he will also work here, and the inner factory yamen can be located in the back mountain."

Zhengde suddenly said: "That's right, um", he looked Yang Ling up and down, and asked, "Do you want to do another errand?" You can't go into the court to discuss politics, and it's really troublesome for me to discuss something with you."

Yang Ling said: "The people of the factory guard can't work part-time in the court, now the inner factory has just been built, and the minister can't give up halfway, if he enters the court, the emperor will be impeached by the official again, or the emperor wants to find the minister when he sends someone to summon him, and the minister immediately enters the palace to see the driver."

Zhengde said: "Okay, I moved to the leopard house in the spring, there were a lot of rules at that time, so I didn't have to be angry with those old men, and it was much more convenient for you to come." I'm asking Liu Jin and Ma Yongcheng to step up their pickup. ”

Liu Jin heard his name from a distance, and hurriedly ran over and said, "Your Majesty, your name is a slave?" ”

Zhengde scolded with a smile: "Get out of you, what do I tell you to do?" ”

Liu Jin accompanied the smiling face and went again. Zhengde sighed: "I'm tired of living in the palace. Greeting the Queen Mother, she told me to take care of the Shouning Hou brothers, and when she saw the Queen Mother, she said every day that I was idle.

Alas, let's wander around the palace, the courtiers in the outer court have very smart noses, and they will come immediately, and the Kunning Palace will not stop", he said here with a wry smile: "Look at the harmony of your family, I envy it very much, the young lady sister is quite a wife and a lady, which is like the palace."

The queen only pays attention to the queen's etiquette all day long, the fourteen-year-old girl is so dull and dead, I am too lazy to see her, and Concubine Wu is still knowledgeable, but the queen and I are angry, and every time I make trouble, I am even more annoyed."

Yang Ling was stunned, after the emperor's wedding, he was not interested in the affairs of the palace, and he had heard of the fact that he rarely favored the concubine, it turned out that the emperor still liked Concubine Wu, but what did this hinder the queen?

Thinking of the emperor's wedding, the palace rules he had read when he was the deputy envoy, Yang Ling suddenly realized, because the emperor has the right to choose the concubine who sleeps in the palace, but there is another procedure, that is, the queen must use the gold seal, and the tribute room can send the concubine to the emperor's bedroom.

Listening to Zhengde's tone, a sixteen-year-old boy and a fourteen-year-old girl, said to be the emperor and queen, are they not a pair of young men and women? The little couple had an awkward quarrel, the queen must have made things difficult in many ways in the bed, and wanted to force Zhengde to bow his head, but was Zhengde's temper willing to say a soft word?

This kind of thing in the palace, Yang Ling is not easy to intervene, he squeaked and couldn't speak, Zhengde looked left and right, lowered his voice and said timidly: "I don't hide it from you, there is fun in the bed, but my concubines are too dull, I suddenly miss the eight female officials who taught me the great ceremony at the wedding, they are much cuter than them."

Yang Ling glanced at him with strange eyes, and said in his heart: "It is said in history that Zhengde prefers married wives, could it be that it is the root of the disease that fell at this time?" Those good-looking female officials are all ten ** years old, and they have learned the art of boudoir beforehand, compared with the three fourteen-year-old young girls, Zhengde naturally prefers to be gentle and interesting.

Yang Ling coughed twice in embarrassment, the emperor was willing to tell him such a secret private matter, naturally he regarded him as a confidant who could confide in his heart, but what could he say?

At this moment, there was a commotion at the door, and he took the opportunity to relieve Yang Ling's embarrassment, and he hurriedly shouted to the old housekeeper guarding the door: "What is so noisy? ”

The senior executives hurriedly rushed back and said: "Back to the master, Li Juren came to the door to find the adult, and the old slave has told him that there is a distinguished guest at home, and asked him to come back again, but he shouted that even if the emperor is here, he must reason with the adult in person."

"Li Juren? Which Li Juren? "Yang Ling is a little inexplicable, there is no one in the people he knows.

Gao Laoguan raised his head and quietly glanced at the emperor who was dressed in micro-clothes, and reminded in a low voice: "It's Miss Wenxin's fiancé."

"Ah, it's him!" Yang Ling was stunned, and then he was furious, his face was a little angry, he was the one who withdrew from the marriage at the beginning, and he was the one who spread rumors that Gao Wenxin and himself had already done something wrong, it was really unreasonable, he still dared to come to the door, even if I really wanted Wenxin, what identity did he rely on?

Zhu Houzhao's eyes rolled wildly when he listened, and he said suspiciously: "Whose fiancé came to the door?" Yang Shiyu, you can't rob the people's daughter? ”

The emperor's question could not be answered, Yang Ling paused and said: "The emperor, it is the daughter of the imperial physician Gao, the emperor gave her to the minister, especially for the treatment of the minister's wife, because she is a domestic slave, Li Juren, who was originally engaged, has withdrawn, and I don't know why he came to the door to make trouble."

Zhengde suddenly said: "Oh, it's her", he heard that the divorced person ran to Yang Shiyu's house to pick quarrels and provoke trouble, and he couldn't help but be curious, and said: "Go, go and see, see what he has to say, if it is unreasonable to make trouble, he is indispensable for this board."

Zhengde took the lead, Yang Ling hurriedly followed behind, Liu Jin and Cheng Qiyun also chased after the guards when they heard the news, and everyone walked to the door, only to see two family members blocking a person wearing a green shirt and a flower jacket, that person was slightly fat, about thirty years old, with a black and red face and two black beards that were very majestic.

Yang Ling looked at it, and there were two young people in their twenties behind him, who were dressed a little thin and shabby, Yang Ling couldn't help but ask strangely: "Butler, where is Li Juren?" ”

Before the old housekeeper could answer, the man in the green robe was already furious and shouted: "The surname Yang, don't deceive people too much, even if you are an official of the imperial court, how can you be so contemptuous of me?" ”

He took a step back, lowered his head and dusted off his robe, glanced at Yang Ling with contempt, and said proudly: "Li Jimeng, the son of the fifteenth year of Hongzhi, is here!" ”

Yang Ling's eyes widened and he looked at him in surprise, this is Gao Wenxin's fiancé? It's okay if his appearance is not good, men value talents, but aren't people at this age getting married early?

Yang Ling arched his hand and said deliciously: "It turns out that Brother Tai is Li Juren, disrespectful and disrespectful."

Li Juren flicked the sleeves of his robe and said stupidly: "Don't dare to climb high!" ”

Yang Ling touched his nose but was not annoyed, he knew that these nerds were the most heavily born, and they were the talents of Hongzhi for fifteen years, but they were lifted, and this grade was one level worse, if it wasn't for his high position, he should indeed be in a good position.

He smiled and changed his words: "Lijia Village and Gao Laozhuang live next to each other, but Yang has moved here for a short time, and he has never met your noble neighbor, I don't know why Li Juren is visiting today?" ”

Li Ju was so angry that his hands trembled, he stared at Yang Ling for a long time before he said indignantly: "The student is a scholarly family and an official eunuch family, why does Lord Yang bully me so much?" The Gao family offended Tianyan and should have been executed all over the house! ”

He clenched his fists and arched his hand upward, and said impassionedly: "Holy benevolence, only degrading her to a slave, Li is a person with a meritorious reputation, how can he marry a maidservant as a wife?" It's only natural for me to withdraw from the marriage, who dares to say a word? The kindness of the adults has been fulfilled, and the student has thanked her politely, she is a slave or a concubine in the Yang family, and it has nothing to do with Li, but this cheap maid."

Yang Ling has been listening patiently to the surname, and when he heard this disrespectful sentence, he suddenly became angry, he took a step forward, and said, "Who is the cheap maid?" Gao Wenxin entered the door of the Yang family, he is a member of the Yang family, how can you be so insulted? ”

Yang Ling is in power, life and death are only in a thought, and he has his own official authority for a long time, his expression is awe-inspiring at this time, and there is a compelling momentum in his demeanor.

Li Juren couldn't help but take two steps back in shock, but he still said strongly: "Could it be that one person has ascended to heaven with a chicken dog?" Gao Wenxin is an official slave who is borrowed, that is, a pawn of a peddler, and a farmer in the field can call her a cheap maid, and the big people are inclined to the government and the opposition, and she is still a cheap maid! ”

Yang Ling's face turned blue with anger, but Gao Wenxin is a cheap slave, and his status is equal to that of the Qinglou Girl, this is an indisputable fact, Li Juren bites this point, can he still rely on his power to ask for someone's surname?

Emperor Zhengde stood on the steps with the sleeves of his robe folded, and said leisurely: "Li Juren's words are wrong, since you know the emperor's benevolence, why don't you know that the emperor has made a decree to cut off Gao Wenxin's cheapness?"

Now she is the exclusive imperial physician of the Yang family, a female official with good rank, slandering the imperial court officials, you can be careful of your own fame! ”

Yang Ling was overjoyed, he turned his head and glanced at Zhengde, his eyes were full of gratitude, Zhengde smiled slightly, and he was very happy when he saw him.

At the beginning, he killed Imperial Doctor Gao by mistake in a fit of rage, but later he knew that the internal supervisor had used the wrong medicine, and he also understood that he had killed the wrong person, but as the Son of Heaven, how could he admit his mistake? I had no choice but to make a mistake, but I had no resentment towards the Gao family, and when I saw that Yang Ling cared so much about the humiliation of a maidservant, he vaguely guessed a few points, just to send a favor and make up for his mistakes.

Yang Ling was relieved by the emperor's words, he took a step forward, and smiled happily: "Li Juren, did you hear it?" Thinking that you are lonely and unheard, I will not care about you, and if you want to speak disrespectfully, I will send you to Shuntianfu, please go out of the Xuezheng University, and ask his students if they know that they are inferior and inferior! ”

Li Juren is qualified to be an official, but Gao Wenxin has become a ready-made official, and his natural status is more respected than him. Li Juren was shocked, he didn't know who the son on this rank was, but this kind of false proclamation of the great rebellion of Yang Ling didn't dare to make it up, when did the cheap maid have this kind of will?

Yes, Yang Ling is a close confidant of the emperor, and he has a personal relationship with that cheap maid, so he will naturally intercede for her. But this cheap maid took revenge, and even flattered Yang Ling and asked him to break up his marriage, how could he ignore this matter?

Thinking of this, Li Juren was jealous and hateful in his heart, he gritted his teeth, and had to see the wind and rudder: "The student doesn't know, please forgive the adult." But the student is engaged to the young lady of the right capital Yushi Liu, what is in the way of the adult? Why did the adults use their power to pressure each other and let Lord Liu return my bride price? ”

Lord Liu, the right capital? Which is this? Yang Ling is angry and funny, he really doesn't have a good impression of this stupid and greedy Li Juren, I heard that he has now tasted the taste of being retired, and he doesn't feel happy in his heart, but he doesn't know any right capital imperial history in his impression, why is this basin buckled on his head again?

Liu Jin listened to it on the side, and suddenly realized, this Liu Yu, his own daughter's grandmother is not close to him, and his uncle is not loved, who are you willing to marry and marry whom, does Lord Yang have time to take care of your dog's skin? I also heard that his daughter was engaged and talked a lot, and Yang Ling and the Li family had a holiday, you don't need to shoot like this?

Liu Jin knew that under Yang Ling's questioning, he was bound to find Liu Yu to testify when he turned around, his eyes rolled, and he hurriedly leaned over and whispered in Zhengde's ear
