Tong Guan is one of the "six thieves" in the Northern Song Dynasty, Yang Fang said that Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty favored the Ten Permanent Servants, and Emperor Wu of Liang was obsessed with Buddhism, and did not mention the names and surnames of those Annihilators, but mentioned the names of people when they mentioned Huizong of the Song Dynasty, and ranked the general Tong Guan before Cai Jing, the minister of power, obviously meant something, and the generals were stupid and couldn't hear it, but the Wenchen had already whispered below.

Yang Fang saw that he had worked hard, but Emperor Zhengde couldn't hear it, and he couldn't care about playing metaphors anymore, so he couldn't help but kneel down and say: "Reading history is to prescribe it for future generations." When the emperor learns moral articles, earnestly believes in righteousness, and respects virtue and merits, he will rule the world. Now the emperor is lazy to study, I heard that the emperor has left the palace many times, went to the western suburbs to watch martial arts, indulged in this small skill, not the son of Xian tomorrow. ”

As soon as Yang Fang's voice fell, a leisurely voice in the hall said: "It turns out that a good horse and a martial artist is not a virtuous king, and the adult's history books are really good to read, well, the Qin Emperor and Han Wu who played martial arts in the forbidden period to expand their territory turned out to be not a virtuous king."

Yang Fang turned around and saw that it was Yang Ling who spoke, and immediately said, "Zi said:".

When Yang Ling heard that it was Zi Yue again, he immediately intercepted: "Zi said: You don't want to use me in every sentence."

"Hahahaha!" At this time, not only those generals couldn't care about the emperor sitting on top and couldn't help laughing, but even many Wenchen couldn't help laughing and covered their mouths with laughter, so that Yang Ling's famous words later became an effective lethal weapon for military generals to deal with Wenchen, and often choked half of Wenchen's eyes and rolled his eyes.

Li Dongyang coughed twice, hid his smile, and said solemnly: "Lord Yang, above the court, in front of the emperor, don't make fun of the saint!" ”

Yang Ling flashed his eyes, and saw that many Wenchen were indignant and quite dissatisfied, so he smiled at Scholar Li and said: "Scholar forgiveness, Xia Guan just thinks that when Confucius was a sage, it was the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and the pattern, situation, humanities, government, and economy of the countries are all different from now.

The benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and faith of the saints to educate the people are certainly applicable everywhere and immutable through the ages, but the sages' views on the administration of the government are aimed at the current politics.

In fact, as long as the official is an official, the literati who are really out of books have already felt that the learning of the sages alone is not enough to govern the world, and the so-called 'half of the Analects to rule the world' is just boasting. It's one thing for them to talk about it, but in their hearts they don't believe that just a few words left by the saint can solve all problems.

So after listening to Yang Ling's explanation, Li Dongyang was silent. Yang Ling turned to Yang Fang and asked, "Lord Yang said that you can rule the world by just practicing moral articles, and practicing military exercises and martial arts is a small skill. Now that Miao Jiang is in turmoil and the Tatars are looking at and delaying, this is a major disaster inside and outside the Ming Dynasty, can it be quelled only by education? If we only emphasize education, not civilian, and military, can the country achieve long-term peace and stability? ”

Yang Fang said disdainfully when he heard this: "A handful of outlaws are in turmoil, but it is just a disease of mustard and not a social problem. Making a big fuss is nothing but alarmism."

Yang Ling clapped his hands and smiled: "Wonderful, Chen Sheng and Wu Guangzhi are just the disease of mustard ringworm, and the Mengyuan barbarians are not worried, huh!" Presumably, there must have been a lot of virtuous ministers like you in the Great Song Dynasty."

Yang Fangsheng blushed and said angrily: "Chen Sheng and Wu Guang are against tyranny, and it is precisely because of the tyranny that Qin does not practice education and treats the people harshly, so the people are crying out and rebelling en masse."

Yang Ling asked rhetorically: "What about the Yuan Dynasty destroying the Song Dynasty?" Is the Yuan people a teacher of justice? Isn't it worth worrying about the meta-people? ”

Wang Wei jumped out and said: "That's different, now the Yuan people are divided, located in a remote place, like a savage, what is there to fear?" ”

Yang Ling said: "Yuan Ren is originally from outside the Guan, and he has not yet entered the Central Plains?" Now that he has returned to the Guanwai, there is no need to be afraid of the Yuan people outside the Guan?

Yang Shou, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, went out of the class and said: "At this time and that time, now the four seas are peaceful, and the country is peaceful and the people are safe, so it is enough to govern the people with virtue and benevolence." Tatar barbarians, born in the bitter cold land, live on nomadic herding, good at riding and shooting, not my agricultural expertise, it is unwise to compete with them. Therefore, they only need to use an army to block barbarism outside the country, and civil strife will not arise, how can they take advantage of the gap? ”

Yang Ling stretched out a finger and said: "First, the four seas are peaceful, the country and the people are safe, and it is not impossible to say that it is okay to say it, but to serve the king with a minister, you should always have a sense of distress, doesn't it mean that you are born in sorrow and die in peace?" Now I have won the hearts of the people, but unfortunately in recent years, natural disasters have continued, and there are desperate people at home and abroad from time to time to gather to die. ”

Yang Shou was so angry that he pouted his white beard, this sentence really became a cliché, the people who said it were careless, and the people who listened to it were not in their ears, but Yang Ling picked his words with this sentence, which made the old man of his family angry enough.

Yang Ling stretched out his finger again and said: "Second, you said that this time and that time, then you also admit that governance should change due to the time, the place, and the situation?" So do you follow the rules and don't know how to be flexible, and the saints taught you? ”

"Third!" Yang Shou was about to open his mouth, Yang Ling shouted, and stopped him again: If this old man says it at length, Yang Ling is the opponent, taking advantage of the fact that they are all old men, their brains are not as fast as young people, and every sentence is either brought to the emperor, or to the founding kings of the past dynasties and the kings of the dead country, the old man speaks cautiously, for fear of committing taboos, as long as he hesitates and wants to organize the language, then he can go on.

Yang Ling raised his third finger and talked eloquently: "As long as the internal affairs are peaceful, you don't have to worry about external enemies?" How do you know that foreign enemies will not be developing, progressing, and pacifying their internal affairs like we are? When you are in peace, you should be prepared for danger, and only a wise lord as Emperor Taizu and Emperor Chengzu will send troops to recruit the Yuan people several times to prevent them from sitting on the border again."

Yang Shousui, Yang Fang (Why are so many people in the old Yang family officials?) Is the Yang family the number one surname? ), Wang Xi was so angry that he was almost cerebral congested, and he carried Taizu and Chengzu out to help, how can this be argued? This man is too shameless!

Other officials didn't dare to come forward even if they wanted to help, and some people began to lose sight of what the topic was at the beginning, how could they talk about foreign military issues?

Yang Ling didn't dare to give them time to think about it, and said, "Fourth! Zhengde was overjoyed when he heard it, turned his head and looked around, and couldn't help but feel a little regretful, why didn't he bring Liu Jin and Gu Da with those few discerning talents, look at how durable Yang Shi reads and speaks, it is much better than the scriptures they read.

Yang Ling took a step forward, turned his head and saw that the generals were fascinated by what he heard, and he couldn't help but feel a little ashamed: "I am this ink, and I will fool you such a big and rough man", he wrenched his finger and said: "Fourth, you said that the Yuan people are good at riding and shooting, and my people in the Central Plains are not good at force, so how can you explain the defeat of the extremely powerful nomadic Xiongnu and Turks many times in the Han and Tang dynasties?"

Legend has it that the Jin soldiers are Jurchen but not 10,000, more than 10,000 invincible, but the Jin people against the Yue family army of the farming nation, but repeatedly defeated, exclaiming, "Shake Mount Tai easy, shake the Yue family army difficult!" How does this explain?

What is the explanation for Xie An's defeat of the 270,000 cavalry and 600,000 infantry of the former Qin Fujian in the north with 80,000 men in the south? Emperor Taizu and Emperor Chengzu of this dynasty went on several expeditions to the north, killing the Yuan people and fleeing, sometimes when the army arrived, they could not see the shadow of their escape, how can this be explained?

Let me tell you, during the Eastern Han Dynasty, our Han people only sent a large army to destroy half of the Xiongnu and drive away half, it was the remnants of these Han people who were defeated and fled all the way west, and successively conquered the East and West Goths and the Ermans, resulting in the destruction of a huge empire in the far west. ”

Yang Ling didn't know how much reason these guys had to tell him, anyway, he brought out the baby Zhu Chongba, who was herding cattle, and Zhu Di, the butcher who exterminated the ten tribes, was not enough, so he simply brought the entire Han people on board, and the nationalism at that time was a hundred times stronger than now, he said a word, and the enthusiastic generals shouted "Okay!" ”

Zhengde is like hearing a story, his eyebrows are dancing, scratching his ears and scratching his cheeks.

After Yang Ling's words, who dares to refute it again, it is against Daming! Anti-Zhu Yuanzhang! Anti-world Han people! If you don't say a word well, you may leave people with a handle in the future, how rich these people are in officialdom, Yang Ling's words are full of pits, and no one wants to fall into it.

But if he doesn't refute it, doesn't that mean he has won?

Many ministers quietly touched the articles they had prepared all night, and sighed secretly, the materials they prepared were all things that were divorced from reality and talked about ideals and morality, and they were not close to what others said.

Yang Tinghe looked left and right, only to see that the generals were gearing up, Liu Daxia was looking sideways, all the ministers looked at each other, and the three bachelors were silent.

The three of them did not speak, as a speaker, Yang Tinghe had to come forward to make a summary speech, he coughed, and smiled: "Zhang is not relaxed, civil and military can not be; Relaxed but not relaxed, civil and military for the also; One piece and one relaxation, the way of civil and military affairs. The theory of governing the country has literature and martial arts, politics and economics, and it is true that everything cannot be achieved with one law, but listening to what Lord Yang said, do you think that military affairs can decide everything? ”

Yang Ling was overjoyed when he heard this, Yang Tinghe asked him to make a concluding speech, and finally mixed up, he hurriedly smiled and arched his hand: "No, as the adults just said, it is still internal affairs that decide everything, the government decrees are accessible, the officials are clear, and the people are rich, so that they can talk about strengthening the country and strengthening the army. But for the king, there is no one who does not attach importance to military affairs, and the lower officials only listened to Yang Lin and Lord Yang's bias, so he spoke boldly.

Military affairs should be prepared on a permanent basis, the so-called raising of soldiers for a thousand years, the use of soldiers for a while, military affairs are a supplement and guarantee for governance, and they should not be abolished in peacetime, and they should be rushed to cling to Buddha's feet. The lower official is a military general, so in the soldiers, he only talks about national politics. Hehe, the feast is to open up the way of speech and not stick to one pattern, as for whether it is right or not, it is not available, it is no longer a matter of the lower officials."

Yang Tinghe smiled slightly, and just wanted to speak, Zhengde had already patted the bookcase and said happily: "Very good, it is very suitable for me, my body is also tired, and I have to go to the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother to say goodbye, so let's withdraw."

Yang Tinghe bowed down in response and ordered the feast to end and the hundred officials to go down to the palace. Zhengde stood up and saw that Yang Ling was surrounded by all the generals, so he hurriedly shouted: "Yang Aiqing, come back to Dongnuan Pavilion, I have something to say to you."

The emperor spoke, and the generals didn't dare to entangle for too long, and after a while, Yang Ling shook his two shoulders that were patted numb, and also left the Wenhua Palace and rushed to the Qianqing Palace.

Qianqing Palace is the main hall of the inner court, nine rooms horizontally, five rooms inside, and the two ends are the East Warm Pavilion, the West Warm Pavilion. Because Emperor Hongzhi used to deal with the folds and handle government affairs in the Dongnuan Pavilion, Zhengde also often worked here after succeeding to the throne.

Yang Ling came to the royal road in front of the main hall of the Qianqing Palace, and was about to turn towards the Dongnuan Pavilion, when suddenly the golden pavilion squeaked, and the two small chamberlains pushed open the palace door and walked out of the group.

The gilded bronze pavilion on the two stone platforms on both sides of the terrace in front of the Qianqing Palace, called the Jiangshan Sheji Golden Palace, the pavilion is set up with four partition doors on each side, the upper eaves of this round and pointed type are installed with the casting of the ancient treasure top, symbolizing that the Jiangshan Sheji is in the hands of the emperor, and the people in the palace call it the Golden Pavilion.

Yang Ling couldn't help but take a look at it carefully, only to see two small chamberlains walking out of the palace gate with a whisk, standing on the left and right, and then the two palace maids hugged a beautiful woman in a pale yellow palace dress, and walked out of the palace gate.

As soon as she saw Yang Ling, the palace beauty was stunned at first, and then her eyes shone with joy, and her faint moth eyebrows like a crescent moon also bent up. Yang Ling recognized that it was Princess Yongfu, and hurriedly stepped forward, bowed down the stage and said, "Minister Yang Ling, I have seen Her Royal Highness the eldest princess!" ”

Now that Princess Yongfu's royal brother has become the emperor, he should be renamed the eldest princess according to etiquette, so Yang Ling is called so. Princess Yongfu's heart was beating a little fast, she was almost the only young man outside the palace who had been in contact with her, and she had a trace of inexplicable emotion, Yang Ling had not stopped after entering Beijing, there was always news of him passed into the harem through the little eunuchs, and then through the fast-talking palace maids around her, she knew that even if she wanted to, she couldn't forget it.

A few days ago, I heard that Yang Ling was imprisoned because of the imperial tomb case, and Princess Yongfu really took a lot of thought for him, but no matter what aspect she was, she couldn't come forward to intercede for him, so she could only hope that God would bless him and leave him with a surname.

I can't imagine that people who I thought it would be rare to see each other can see them today. Princess Yongfu was stunned for a moment, and then said with a happy smile: "It turned out to be Lord Mighty Boyang, don't be polite!" ”

"Yes!" Yang Ling stood up straight, respectfully did not dare to look up at her, Princess Yongfu looked a little lost in her heart, even if she saw it, although the two were close to each other, they seemed to be far away from each other, and the joy in Yongfu's eyes couldn't help but dim.

At this moment, a Taoist priest walked out behind Princess Yongfu, this little Taoist priest was only sixteen or seventeen years old, wearing an official robe, that was a court Taoist official with good rank, a red sandalwood hook was inserted in the Taoist bun, his black hair was like lacquer dye, his appearance was strange and handsome, but he was young and handsome, and he couldn't see any fairy wind bones.

As soon as he came out, a little Taoist came out behind him, two years younger than him, with a nose like a hanging gall, eyes like a star, and a beautiful man, but he was wearing an ordinary gray-blue robe.

The elderly Taoist priest caught a glimpse of a general standing in the audience, and couldn't help but smile and said, "Your Highness Yongfu, who is this general?" ”

Princess Yongfu hurriedly said: "This is Lord Yang Ling, the commander of the emperor's personal army, General Yang, and this is Hongzhan Zhenren."

Yang Ling saw that Princess Yongfu was respectful to the young man, and hurriedly bowed down and said, "The last general, Yang Ling, has seen a real person."

He couldn't help but murmur secretly in his heart, didn't he say that since Emperor Hongzhi drove away the warlock monks, he no longer favored Buddhism? Who found such a hairy boy to pretend to be a ghost again? Dare to go straight into the inner palace and let the princess accompany him into the Golden Pavilion, it seems that he is very favored.

Princess Yongfu saw Yang Ling's indifferent expression, knowing that he still didn't know the identity of this young man, she couldn't help but smile, she lifted her skirt lightly, and went down, and the two Taoist priests, the little eunuchs, and the palace maid followed her down the stone steps.

Princess Yongfu walked up to Yang Ling and said softly: "General Yang, this real person is the true person of the Zhengyi Sect Zhi Xuan Jing Cheng Xian Hongzhan Zhenren, who is in charge of Taoist affairs in the world, and is the forty-eighth generation of Heavenly Master of Longhu Mountain."

Yang Ling was taken aback, it turned out to be a national teacher, no wonder Princess Yongfu was so courteous. He didn't expect the dignified national teacher to be so young, and hurriedly saluted the national teacher again.

The little Taoist priest behind the national teacher squeezed to Princess Yongfu's side, looked Yang Ling up and down curiously with a pair of dark eyes, and then wrinkled a pair of curved eyebrows with a female surname and asked suspiciously, "You are Yang Ling?" Yang Ling, who resisted the decree to save his wife? ”

That Hongzhan Zhenren was not young, but he was extremely imposing, he frowned slightly, and reprimanded: "Fu Bao, retreat, don't be rude."

The little Taoist priest stuck out his tongue and stepped back behind him. Yang Ling saw that the little Taoist priest named Fu Bao approached the princess at will, and Princess Yongfu was not stunned, and he couldn't help but be secretly surprised in his heart, but although this heavenly master was not of high official quality, just like the three scholars in the cabinet, they were all officials of the fifth or sixth grade, but the power was extremely great, and it was not something that could be offended casually.

He hurriedly smiled and said: "Yes, I don't dare to resist the decree, it's just that the people are spreading falsehoods, Your Highness, the emperor summoned the minister, and asked the minister to go to Dongnuan Pavilion to see the driver, and the minister went here."

Princess Yongfu's eyes flashed with a hint of reluctance, she bowed slightly, looking at Yang Ling's departing back a little stunned. But that Zhang Tianshi looked at Yang Ling's back and was also stunned, frowning as if he was thoughtful.

Princess Yongfu quickly woke up to her own gaffe, and a flush flashed on her white jade-like face, and she turned around and said, "The Heavenly Master has prayed for blessings, but can you go back to the harem to see the queen mother?" ”

"Huh?" Heavenly Master Zhang Yanshuo put his fingers in his sleeve and was calculating, and when he heard Princess Yongfu ask, he hurriedly said: "No, the emperor's big wedding is said to be a small way to enter the palace to pray for blessings, and now when he arrives in Beijing, he hurriedly came to meet the emperor and the queen mother, and Xiaodao wants to take advantage of the gap to visit the Chengguo Mansion."

The forty-seventh generation of Heavenly Master Zhang Yuanqing was married to the daughter of Cheng Guogong, Qin gave the python clothes and jade belt, he is both a national teacher and an imperial relative, this little heavenly master is Zhang Yuanqing's only son, the grandson of Cheng Guogong, and he came to Beijing to see his grandfather.

Princess Yongfu smiled and said: "In this case, the palace will go back, Xiao Anzi, send the national teacher out of the palace."

Hongzhan Zhenren bowed to Princess Yongfu and walked out with a chamberlain. The little Taoist priest named Fu Bao chased after him and walked side by side with him, and whispered, "Brother, what did you just calculate?" Is that Yang Ling's face a little ancient? ”

Hongji Zhenren stopped, covered his mouth, glared at him fiercely, and reprimanded: "Shut up, disaster comes from the mouth!" ”

He quickly glanced at the little eunuch who was leading the way in front of him, and when he saw that he didn't pay attention, he breathed a sigh of relief, let go of his hand and said, "Go back and talk about it, and give me trouble again, and I won't take you out!" He said that he was in a hurry to catch up with the little eunuch and walked forward.

Fu Bao stood stunned, stretched out his fingers and pinched for a while, scratched his head inexplicably, and hurriedly chased after him.
