Zhang Xiu, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, said with a smile: "The little prince attacked my border, and the armies of Zhuoxian and Chixian were captured, but Huailai lost his troops all the way, resulting in the death of a capital division, and Lord Ye, the envoy of the supervision army, was also trampled to death by the chaotic army. The three law divisions were sentenced and convicted by the holy decree, but after He Shen was deported to Beijing, he pushed the crime of underestimating the enemy on the prisoner Ye and Liu Gonggong.

He Counselor General is a general recommended by the Ministry of War, if He Counselor will be punished, they will naturally not escape the accusation of unknown employment, so the Ministry of War tried to protect General He and accused the supervising army of not knowing the military and interfering indiscriminately.

The internal official Yamen is just a group of eunuchs, and he didn't have any ideas in the military, but Gonggong Liu returned to Beijing with a letter", Zhang Xiu said this, and smiled at Yang Ling: "It's the letter you wrote to General He Shen."

Yang Ling said: "Yes, Xia Guan once had a little shallow opinion of General He, but I don't know how this letter fell into the hands of Gonggong Liu."

Zhang Xiu shook his head and said, "I don't know the inside story." Liu Gonggong is the person who waits next to the prince, he has a friend in the palace named Zhang Yong, this father-in-law knows a little bit of military, and when he saw your belief as a treasure, he immediately instigated the internal lawsuit to impeach the military department, accusing the soldiers in the army of not being strong, the scout ability is low, and the reason for the defeat is the lack of military commanders.

Hehe, but the military department is responsible for the transfer of troops and generals, and it is indeed the governor's office of the five armies that is responsible for the regular training of troops and the command of the troops, so that the governor's office of the five armies, which has nothing to do with it, was stirred up by the relieved military department, and the four yamen began to fight like a marquee. ”

Yang Ling said deliciously: "This subordinate didn't expect that there would be so many entanglements, but the adults just said that the Ministry of Industry was also involved, I don't know what this matter of using troops has to do with the Ministry of Industry?" ”

Zhang Xiudao: "irrelevant, originally irrelevant, but your letter has mentioned the use of firearms, and the important role of the future war, there is a director of the military department named Wang Shouren who saw it and thought so, for a moment nerd angry, but at this time to the emperor on a sprinkled book of ten thousand words, talking about the way to govern the army, and mentioned that the fire guns of this dynasty need to be improved urgently, and the number of guns equipped with the northern army is too small. ”

Yang Ling heard Wang Shouren's three words, and felt a little familiar, but he couldn't remember it for a while, but since he had an impression, he must have seen it in the history books at the beginning, and now although he is a small head of the military department, he is very likely to be an official who has made great achievements in the future, so he secretly kept his heart in mind.

Zhang Xiu said again: "This time, the Ministry of Industry was afraid that these yamen would push back and forth, but the responsibility for the defeat of the army was put on them, so he complained to the emperor about the bitter water, what silver and two allocations were insufficient, the quality of the soldiers was low, and it was not easy to make firecrackers", Zhang Xiu touched his chin thoughtfully, and said very interestingly: "Well, the excerpt of the Ministry of Industry has just been handed to the Ouchi yesterday, and the governor estimates that the household department in charge of money and grain has got the news, and he will have to defend again."

Yang Ling laughed when he heard this, and said, "How can this be? Xia Guan really didn't expect to cause such a turmoil, and he knew that it would be like this, so he didn't write the letter."

Zhang Xiu stretched his waist and said lazily: "Have you ever fished for crabs, there is a group of crabs in the basket, you don't have to cover it, the crabs can't climb out, because as long as one wants to climb up, other crabs will climb on its body, and the result is to pull it down, and in the end none of them can get out, hehe, officialdom has always been like this, not surprising." ”。

"Without your letter, they will also find individual reasons to shirk each other's responsibilities, but this can fulfill you, and now your name is known in the six departments, the prince heard about it, and asked for your post, and after reading it, he stretched out his hand to His Majesty and asked for someone to ask you to enter Beijing to read, hehehe."

Zhang Xiu smiled, and said with a straight face: "These officials' Luo Quanjia has nothing to do with my Jinyi Guard, this governor specially summoned you today, do you know the reason?" ”

Yang Ling said: "Please also make it clear."

Zhang Xiu groaned: "Our Jinyi Guard, a hundred civil and military officials of criminal investigation, and a private citizen of the world, are outside the three divisions. The East Factory is responsible for supervising the hundred officials and Jinyiwei, and every time there is a major edict in the Fusi of Beizhen, the East Factory has to send someone to observe the trial. ”

Yang Ling didn't know what he was doing with this, and he couldn't help but feel a little inexplicable in his heart, so he only heard Zhang Xiu continue: "However, there are many descendants of meritorious heroes in Jinyiwei, and many officials in Dongchang are officers recruited from my Jinyiwei, so Dongchang and my Jinyiwei can be said to have an inextricable relationship.

Zhang Xiu glanced at him and said: "Since the end of last year, Your Majesty has gradually felt that the dragon is not feeling well, and His Majesty intends to reopen the West Factory, supervising the East Factory and Jinyiwei, and is currently secretly recruiting, and a large number of personnel are absorbed from the army to form a family, and have nothing to do with the East Factory and Jinyiwei. ”

Yang Ling couldn't help but be stunned when he heard what he said, and after thinking about it carefully, he understood that he didn't say it clearly, the emperor felt that something was wrong with his body, and he had already begun to plan for the successor, although Dongchang and Jinyiwei were his most trustworthy organizations, but the power was too great, and listening to Zhang Xiu's words, although there was a responsibility for supervision between the factory and the guard, in fact, it was the same family, the emperor was not at ease, and the West Factory, which was ready to be reopened, did not draw a soldier from the East Factory and Jinyiwei, that was to check and balance the East Factory and Jinyiwei, so as not to fall into the power of the new emperor.

Zhang Xiu said again: "The prince is young, and my Jinyiwei is responsible for the safety of the royal family, how can I care, but since Your Majesty is suspicious, Dongchang and Jinyiwei have to avoid suspicion now, and it is not good to arrange manpower around the prince." Now that you are a servant of the crown prince, you are a close minister of the prince's side, and you should be able to bear this responsibility, do you understand what the governor means? ”

How Yang Ling still doesn't understand his intentions, Jinyiwei and Dongchang share weal and woe and share power, and now the upcoming West Factory is responsible for supervising Dongchang and Jinyiwei, so they are naturally worried about the loss of power.

There is only a group of eunuchs around the prince now, although they are also objects that can be wooed, but the current palm seal eunuchs of Dongchang are of course unwilling to support a group of their own kind to come out and usurp their power in the future, Yang Ling has no foundation in the court, and if he supports such a person, he will soar, and he will not be able to do without the two big trees of Dongchang and Jinyiwei, so he is naturally the most suitable candidate.

Yang Ling couldn't help but sit on pins and needles when he thought of this, for a person who wants to climb up, such an opportunity and such a backer are naturally rare in a hundred years, but in this way, his little attendant will inevitably become a thorn in the side and a thorn in the flesh of others, how easy is it to live comfortably for two years?

Yang Ling wanted to understand the joints, and couldn't help but panic: "Thanks to the love of the adults, it's just a lower official...... The lower official is young, and I am afraid that he will be entrusted by the adults."

Zhang Xiu's eyes looked at him fixedly for a long time, and he saw a chill in Yang Ling's heart, Zhang Xiucai smiled, rolled his eyes and said lightly: "In this world, the biggest is the Son of Heaven, as long as he is by the side of the Son of Heaven, nothing is impossible." ”

He smiled slightly and said: "When it comes to Xichang, I think of one thing, in the third year of Chenghua, the Southern Barbarians rebelled, Xiangcheng Bo Li Jin and Shangshu Cheng Xin recruited the teachers, and after the rebellion was suppressed, the men and women were captured, and they brought a group of slaves back to the capital to give them to the king. Among this group of slaves, a man surnamed Wang and a girl surnamed Ji were sent to Ouchi, the man was castrated as a eunuch, and the girl was used as a court maid."

When he said this, he smiled, lowered his eyes and looked at Yang Ling and said, "Do you know what happened to these two people later?" ”

Without waiting for Yang Ling to answer, Zhang Xiu had already said to himself: "Ten years later, the imperial court set up the West Factory, and the West Factory was in power for a while, overriding the East Factory and Jinyiwei. ”

Wang Zhi's name, Yang Ling had heard of it, and when he heard it, he couldn't help but sigh, and Zhang Xiu said again: "The girl surnamed Ji was first a palace maid, then a female official, and then a concubine, and later a queen, and she is the biological mother of today's long live." He stroked his palms and sighed, "What a strange encounter." Imagine that the captives who were captured from Datengxia were whipped to death by soldiers at will on the way to escort, which is nothing, who would have thought that two of them would have evolved into a vigorous story when they arrived at the Son of Heaven? ”

He smiled and said: "You are a scholar, those ministers regard you as their own person, the internal lawsuit, the Inspectorate, and the Ministry of War have a good impression of you, and there are Jinyiwei, Dongchang and you behind the convenience, it can be said that there are countless opportunities, as long as you can be appreciated by the prince again, then he said that when the prince ascends to the Ninth Five-Year Plan, it will be the time when you will meet and become famous in the government and the opposition!" Yang Tongzhi, do you still want to be arrogant? ”

Yang Ling looked at Zhang Xiu's "amiable" smiling face, and in a trance, he seemed to see Yang Pai's big hand wave forward, and shouted loudly: "Amir, rush!" ”

*********************************

"Amir" rushed, not to a splendid future, but to his woman.

As soon as he left the Fusi of Jinyi Weibei Town, he saw the lights on everywhere, Yang Ling remembered that the young lady was still waiting for him at home, and suddenly returned to his heart like an arrow.

There are two large temple fairs in Jingshi, called the East Temple and the West Temple. The East Temple is located in the Longfu Temple near the fourth archway of Dashi Street, and the temple market is opened on the ninth and tenth days of each month. The west temple is the Dalong Shan Huguo Temple on Huguosi Street, and the temple market is opened on July and August every month.

Today is not the temple fair period, but these two streets have formed a fixed commercial area for a long time, and tea shops, wine shops, and shops are lined up side by side, which is extremely lively. Yang Ling and the young lady had a warm dinner in a restaurant, and then went straight to Huguo Temple.

Liu Biao and Yang Yiqing of course he would not take two light bulbs with him, but he had a meal in the alley, and after coming out, the two turned around, so they asked the pedestrians for directions, and the pedestrians on the road heard that the young couple went to Huguo Temple to make incense, and they all showed surprise, but they still showed them the way.

Originally, this ten halls, covering a vast area of the famous temple, has now been changed into a lama temple, the people of Beijing to the Lama to worship the strange shape of the Bodhisattva, has always had the idea of respecting the ghosts and gods and staying away, the festival of the lama on the offering is also not daring to comprehend, only when the temple fair, visitors like to enter the temple to see a strange, usually few people come, so the incense in this temple is famously rare, and the situation of incense in other temples is completely different.

However, the Han people are not as strict as Westerners about religious beliefs, you believe in yours, I believe in mine, and they will never make a break with each other because you believe in the Yuan Shi Tianzun and I believe in the Buddha, or do not allow their children to marry, so although passers-by feel that this young couple is a little strange to go to the lama temple, no one is embarrassed for them.

Over the years, many lamas and monks from Qing, Kang, Tibet, and even from outside the desert have met the Ming court, because their area is a combination of politics and religion, and the court of these lamas is like the Jin of local officials, which is quite valued by the imperial court, so the emperor gave them several temples for monks who are willing to stay in the Central Plains to live in, and Huguo Temple is one of them.

Although the incense here is not abundant, fortunately, the imperial court provides the needs on time, so the life of these lamas is not hard.

Yang Ling entered the gate of Huguo Temple, saw that the temple was brightly lit, although there were some tourists, most of them looked like the old people who were tired of shopping and ran in to rest, sat and chatted under the corridor, the gate of the King Kong Hall was open, but it was deserted and no one entered or exited.

Yang Ling turned his head to look and saw that Han Youniang was more than three feet away, and he was following behind timidly, and he didn't feel a little funny in his heart, and couldn't help but joke: "Lady, what are you doing together so far away from the street?" Xianggong looked back at you vigorously, and his neck was about to twist."

Han Youniang approached him shyly and whispered: "Xianggong, be quiet, let people listen to the joke, I am a woman, I can't walk side by side with you in the first place."

Yang Ling smiled and said: "Okay, then you can follow behind, the Buddha said: Five hundred times in the past life can be exchanged for a passing in this life." In the future, you will follow Xianggong every day, and Xianggong will look back at you if he is fine, look at you 5,000 times and 50,000 times, and strive to be husband and wife in the next life."

The young lady smiled and glanced at him, but before she could answer, she suddenly said in an ugly voice: "This is interesting, I have only heard of a hundred years of cultivation, a thousand years of cultivation, and ten thousand years of cultivation."

Yang Ling turned his head to look, and saw a young scholar with a face like powder, holding a small gold-painted fan, looking at him with a smile. This little scholar is taller than the young lady, with bright eyebrows, wearing a Taoist robe (a kind of robe in the Ming Dynasty), a brocade belt around his waist, a [***] unified hat on his head, and a crystal on the top of the hat, dressed handsomely.

The little scholar opened his mouth, and the unpleasant male duck voice that was in the period of voice change called again: "I just don't know which scripture is the allusion in this brother's 500 retrospective glances?" Three Returns and Five Precepts, Compassion and Disgust from the Merit Sutra, Amitabha Buddha Yin Wang Dharani Sutra? Or the forty-two chapters? ”

He said and shook off the small gold-painted fan used for decoration, fanned it twice quite chicly, closed it coldly, and then asked: "Today, the little brother and you have passed by, but I don't know why my brother looked back at me frequently in his previous life?" ”;
