On the Yin'an Palace, the adults who are good at observing the face and the appearance found that the two Qincha, the two governors and Yang Yiqing, the general system of the three sides, were all stinky faces, and even the acting king Chitose saw the bride who was sixteen or seventeen years old, and his face did not seem to be happy.

The princess and concubine are very different from ordinary people marrying daughters-in-law, the ceremony seems to be an official taking office, the chief eunuch first read out the emperor's holy decree, this holy decree was drafted by Yang Tinghe, Zhengde just used a golden seal, but this knife catcher did not show up, although he came to Datong did not hide it, but only a handful of people knew the news, so he avoided in the apse.

Since the emperor has come to Datong, unless he is willing to go back, he can't tie him back, Yang Ling doesn't cooperate, he has no choice, sitting in the apse and thinking for a long time, Yang Tinghe is still at a loss, listening to the joyful court music playing on the Yin'an Hall in front of him, Yang Tinghe shook his head with a wry smile.

The cumbersome concubine ceremony was carried out, and the bride worshiped the prince and the princess, and then under the instruction of the prince, she came to the house, holding the jade jue in her hand, and toasted to the two chincha. Although their rank in front of the prince is not high, since they are hanging a sign of patrolling the border, the etiquette in front of this person cannot be lost, and it is not them who are honored by the king, but the emperor behind them.

The side princess is called Zhuo Ting, tall and tall, wearing a red robe with a xia veil, wearing a phoenix crown, with a swaying bead curtain hanging in front of her pretty face, but not wearing a hijab, looking at her soft and slender figure, although she is only sixteen or seventeen years old, she is full of charm, but she has charm, she looks elegant and refined, and she is generous, which is very different from the soft and delicate of mainland women, no wonder the acting king is so fond of her, and he actually asked her to give her the identity of the side concubine.

After the side princess paid tribute to the Qincha, and received a salute from the civil and military officials, she helped the princess to go back to the apse, the banquet was opened, and the officials staggered their cups, and the atmosphere was lively.

Hu Zan and Wang Yixiao, the two governors, held the cup and saluted the acting prince, and then came to the table of Yang Yiqing, Yang Ling and Zhang Yong, and said with a smile on their faces: "The two Qincha adults came to Datong before the first month of the year.

Kou Shou Boyan has lost one after another, and the people in Datong Xuanfu and other places can keep safe, thanks to the lives of the soldiers, and we and other local officials should toast a glass of wine to a few adults and show respect, ah? Hahahaha".

When all the officials heard this, they raised their glasses and stood up, and said: "Exactly, we will respect the two Qincha and Yang Zong, and invite the three adults to drink this cup."

Yang Yiqing smiled and said: "Where is it, speaking of which, Yang was ordered to guard the three passes, and from now on he will also be the general of Datong, and the subordinate of Wang Chitose, he should pay homage to the two Qincha with all the adults, and wish my emperor a long life, and the future of the country will be prosperous."

Hu Zan and Wang Yixiao smiled and groaned, as if the people who had just scuffled with Yang Ling and Zhang Yong in the apse had nothing to do with him, Yang Ling and Zhang Yong looked at each other and smiled bitterly, and hurriedly squeezed out a smirk, and raised a glass to reconcile.

The civil and military officials saluted the prince, and always had to respect the two Qincha and Hu Zhan, Wang Yixiao, and Yang Yiqing, the three highest civil and military officials in the border gates.

After three rounds of drinking, a palace eunuch quietly walked in and said a few words to the acting king, the acting king nodded, and the chamberlain walked towards Yang Ling, and whispered in his ear: "Lord Qincha, your guard commander said that there is something important to face."

Yang Ling was stunned, although there were 300 honor guards he brought, only 12 were able to enter the palace, where did the guards come from? If you want to say that you can order these inner guards, who is the only one who is Emperor Zhengde. He hurriedly got up and confessed to the prince, and hurriedly walked out.

Although the acting king and the others knew that Zhengde was in his army, but when they broke their heads, they couldn't imagine that Zhengde would pretend to be a guard to accompany Yang Ling to the banquet, and stay alone in the outer hall to mingle with those vulgar subordinates, miscellaneous servants, and soldiers.

Even if he saw Hu Zan in the costume of a guard, he only thought that it was a costume made on the road to hide people's eyes, he didn't believe that Emperor Zhengde, who was the emperor's noble phoenix son and grandson, would always pretend to be a lowly soldier, and he didn't believe that Yang Ling dared to be so rebellious and always put the emperor in such a position, so it seems that these people have no doubts.

Accompanied by the inner supervisor, Yang Ling went out of the Yin'an Palace, and arrived outside the carrier gate, and sure enough, he saw Zhengde and two personal soldiers standing at the door, their eyes shining and their faces flushed, as if they had drunk a lot of wine.

Yang Ling smiled politely at the waiter and said, "There is Gonggong Lao, please wait here, and the official will go out for a while."

Yang Ling walked out of the hall gate and went around to the side pillar, Zhengde pounced on him and grabbed his hand and shook it again and again, and said in an excited voice: "Yang Shiyu, I'm not dreaming, I've seen her, hahaha, I'm so happy."

Yang Ling saw that his face was red and his words were incoherent, so he hurriedly looked around, and saw that no one was paying attention, so he said strangely: "The emperor is drunk?" Who are you so happy to see? ”

Zhengde said with a smile: "Tang Yixian! I saw Tang Yixian, she was in the Daiwang Mansion. Once you enter the Houmen, it is as deep as the sea, no wonder your spies can't find her anywhere."

Yang Ling was stunned for a moment, and suddenly jumped up excitedly, and said in a trembling voice: "Tang Yixian? She's not dead? She's alive? Yang Ling clenched Zhengde's hand, suddenly closed his eyes and raised his face to the sky, and after a long while, he let out a long sigh of relief, and said in a stirring voice: "Thank God, she is safe and sound, where is she?" ”

Yang Ling said, his eyes were already looking around. In the past, he met Su San, Tang Yixian, and Xue Limei in the Flower Pavilion, and it was because of Tang Yixian's relationship that Ma Yongcheng sent silver, so that he ransomed the three girls, and Su San and Xue Limei became concubines with deep affection for him.

And Tang Yixian, this little girl was knocked off the cliff in order to protect the criminal evidence account book of General Bao for him, and he always felt guilty in his heart.

Tang Yixian's misfortune was all caused by him, and the so-called kindness that he saved Tang Yixian in the land of fireworks, the real benefactor is Zhengde, he did not have the slightest effort and favor, but relied on her surname to save the account book, relying on this powerful evidence to bring down General Bao, because her relationship was due to fate, and she got Su San, Xue Limei, two rooms with a beautiful appearance, and a well-behaved little beauty with a surname, so every time Yang Ling thinks of what happened to her, he always feels that his heart is like a big stone, and now that he heard that she is fine, Yang Ling's surprise and joy can be imagined.

Zhengde hurriedly said nervously: "Be quiet, she went to see her adoptive parents, how about you take her back after you go to the banquet?" However, she suffered from lost soul, and thought she had been hit when she fell from a cliff, and she had no memory of the past."

Yang Ling was stunned when he heard this, and his heart was a little sad, and he was stunned: "Lost soul? Amnesia? How so? Don't remember anything? So how can I take her back, she believed the emperor's words? ”

Zhengde scratched his head with a smile and said: "She didn't believe my words, and thought I was a disciple, and I was beaten with a stick on my thigh, and I guess I was beaten blue."

But she didn't believe the words of a little lieutenant, and she had no reason not to believe the words of General Yang, I told her, she is your cousin, her parents died, she has been with you since she was a child, you must not say anything when you see her in a while, Miss Tang has forgotten the past, I don't want her to know those unhappy pasts."

After Zhengde said that, his face became very serious and serious, and there was something shiny in his eyes. Yang Ling nodded, and suddenly patted Zhengde lightly on the shoulder, although he didn't speak, there was a smile of understanding on his lips.

The wind and snow on the eaves are cold, sprinkled on the neck, but the hearts of the two people are warm, Yang Ling's almost over-the-top impulsive behavior, if it falls in the eyes of the civil officials, it is inevitable that he will be as angry as when Wang Qiong saw Yang Ling sitting with the emperor, but Zhengde didn't care about this, he understood the meaning of approval and appreciation in Yang Ling's eyes, and he couldn't help but be very happy and happy in his heart.

"Cousin", suddenly there was a strange and handsome cousin, Tang Yixian was still a little unaccustomed to screaming, he was a little embarrassed, and his face was slightly dizzy.

"Huh?" Yang Ling slowed down his horse, turned his head to look at Tang Yixian who was sitting in the sedan car, and laughed softly: "What's the matter?" ”

"Cousin, is our family big? Will my cousin not like me living in it? Tang Yixian frowned a little worriedly.

Yang Ling wanted to laugh, he glanced at Zhengde who was looking at Tang Yixian with a smile next to him, and said: "Don't worry, your cousin-in-law is very good, and she got along with you very well before you had an accident, and when I see you, my three cousins-in-law don't know how happy they will be?" ”

"Wow! Three cousins? Tang Yixian stuck out his tongue in surprise and said with a playful smile: "My cousin is so powerful, the three sisters-in-law must be all great beauties in Jingshi, right?" Alas, I don't remember my cousins, I don't remember them, I don't have any memory of what Jingshi is like."

She leaned on the car window and looked at the pedestrians on the street stupidly, and suddenly said: "Cousin, my father and mother have lived here for generations, and I am reluctant to leave my relatives and friends, and I don't want to move to the capital. ”

Zhengde saw that she was a little timid to ask Yang Ling, and his heart was full of pity, he lifted the reins of the horse close to the carriage, patted his chest and said loudly: "Miss Xian'er, you don't have to worry, if you want to go back to the palace, just let me know, my subordinates will protect you back!" ”

Tang Yixian glanced at him, and said angrily: "If you don't speak, no one will sell you as a dumb person, you don't understand anything, if I were my cousin, I wouldn't need you to be a personal soldier, I honestly sweep the yard and guard the gate!" Is the palace a place where you can enter if you want? Even if my cousin is a Qincha, I have to invite the prince, and people are worried about making trouble for my cousin."

Zhengde was scolded by Tang Yixian and robbed of white, and his bones were suddenly less than four taels, and his eyebrows and smiles had the potential to be abused.

When the guards saw that the emperor was so happy to eat, they consciously put aside the mission of protecting the emperor's safety and safeguarding the dignity of the Son of Heaven, and in line with the principle of not seeing and listening to incivility, they hurried away one by one and turned a deaf ear.

Tang Yixian was placed in the upper room of the post house, Yang Ling arranged her properly, and rushed back to the study to repair the book and asked someone to send it back to the capital, one informed Yu'er of the good news as early as possible, and the other was to let them prepare in advance, so as to welcome the little cousin back to Beijing.

Yang Tinghe secretly came to see Zhengde, he is the emperor's attendant master, Zhengde still has some respect for him, I heard that he came to fear that he would persuade him to return to Beijing, and it would be difficult to push back at that time, so he hurriedly called Yang Ling and Liu Jin, the two two generals, and stood behind him to strengthen his courage, so he invited Yang Tinghe in.

Yang Tinghe is accustomed to judging the situation, although he dared to fight against Yang Ling and Zhang Yongda, who instigated the emperor to go out of Beijing, but in the face of the emperor, his forbearance and patience are especially better than Li Dongyang.

Yang Tinghe recounted the situation after Zhengde left Beijing, the palace has strictly blocked the news, all the eunuchs and palace maids who know have received strict orders, who dare to talk about the rumors that the emperor is out of Beijing, and he will be killed immediately, so the news has not yet spread, except for the six Jiuqing and three scholars, even the Manchu Dynasty civil and military are only said that the emperor is sick and can not come to the court.

However, the emperor did not come to the court for more than ten days in a row to listen to the government, which is not a trivial matter. The emperor is the king of a country, and the system of the imperial court is not a joke, and it is useless to find someone to pretend to be a scholar or to falsely claim that the scholar is signed by the emperor.

In the eyes of the hundred officials, the emperor is so sick that he can't even review it, just speculating about how serious the emperor's illness is, it is enough to panic, even if the wisdom of the three bachelors has no way, when he mentioned Zhengde, Yang Tinghe couldn't help but have a bitter face.

Zhengde frowned and thought for a while: "That is the case, pick up the most important twists and turns, pass them to me every time I say the fast horse, and then transfer them back to Beijing after I read them, and then call me sick and gradually healed, but I can't see the wind and the light, so I can't come to the court, and I think I can stabilize the people's hearts."

Yang Tinghe sighed: "This is the only way to do this", he stood up worriedly, and said: "The Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager are all very concerned about the emperor, and the six departments and nine secretaries are also waiting for the emperor's news, since the emperor is determined to stay in Datong, the minister will not dare to delay any longer, so he will return to Beijing to report the news."

He saluted Zhengdeshi, glanced at Yang Ling again, and said with a solemn face: "Lord Yang, the safety of the emperor and the safety of the Ming Dynasty will all be handed over to you.

Yang Ling said solemnly: "Don't worry, my lord, the lower officials know the weight of it, and they won't be child's play."

Yang Tinghe nodded, sighed lightly, and then retreated.

After waiting for another two days, Zhengde went to the door of Miss Tang to be a personal soldier whenever he had nothing to do, and accompanied her to play the ice top in the courtyard, plus the two maids who were specially waiting for Xiao Tang to play horse hanging, which not only relieved Tang Yixian's boredom, but also fulfilled his own wish.

Playing horse hanging has been around for a long time, it is said that it has existed in the Han and Tang dynasties, the government and the opposition, whether it is the princes and princesses, celebrities and talents, celebrities and ladies or businessmen and commoners, they all like it very much, and even the monks and nuns also have a lot of fun.

Horse hanging similar to modern mahjong, the palace queen mother and the queen mother and other concubines have nothing to do and like to play the most, Zhengde sometimes accompanies to play, he is talented to accompany Ying, naturally a learning will.

Tang Yixian and the two Yahuan are his opponents, one and the other, Yang Ling gave Tang Yixian the odd spending silver, and the worthless jewelry of the two little Yahuan won a bunch, Zhengde was overjoyed, and collected the pile of tattered babies, no matter how the two little Yahuan threw flattery at this handsome soldier brother, they just didn't give it back.

His identity is Yang Ling's guard, Tang Yixian is not a snob, but he does not disdain to make friends because of his lowly status, although he scolds him, but he has an intimate tone.

In the afternoon, a hurried figure in front of the post house came from a distance, turned over and dismounted in front of the post house. There are only two post guards in the post house, but now there are two messengers in the open and an emperor in the secret, so the post guards were replaced by Yang Ling's pro-army, and the entire post house was impassable, just like a barracks.

The Pegasus came to the door, took out a silver medal from his bosom indicating the identity of the inner factory, and after the door keeper carefully inspected it, one of them led him to hurry towards the courtyard. On a small tavern with a dilapidated flag on the opposite side of the inn, a drinker looked up as soon as he arrived at the door, and two sharp eyes looked at him.

The drinker was wearing a short dogskin robe, straight trousers, and a hazel wolf-haired hat on his head, and under the fluffy brim, two sword eyebrows, and a touch of heroism, he was actually a very handsome young man.

When the visitor entered the door, he looked left and right, and when the drinker saw his side face, his body couldn't help but shock slightly, and he said secretly: "Wu Hanchao? Hey, learn the art of literature and martial arts, sell it to the emperor's family, he really took refuge in Yang Ling, with his kung fu, it should be Yang Ling's personal guard, look at the tired appearance of the horse, it should have just arrived after a long journey, Yang Ling didn't leave him by his side, what did he send him to do? ”

The handsome young man pondered for a moment, and faintly felt in his heart that Yang Ling seemed to be about to move, and a trace of excitement flashed in his eyes, and then he became a little dazed.

"He" looked around, and a pair of clear eyes swept lightly from the pedestrians on the street: Since the Maitreya Sect is fighting the emperor's idea, it will not keep a close watch on the post house, but where are they?

There is also Yang Hu's bastard, since he left in a negative mood, I don't know where he and the fifth uncle went, I hope they are not familiar with life, don't be reckless and want to attack Yang Ling, look at the situation of this post house, it is heavily guarded and there are many crises, Yang Ling is in and out of hundreds of masters, if you want to do it, wouldn't you send sheep into the tiger's mouth?

"Alas!" The handsome young man sighed softly, his eyebrows twisted together gently, and he was a little feminine.

"Good! Finally, when it arrived, the emperor must have been very happy to hear it! Yang Ling said excitedly. He saw that Wu Hanchao's face was full of frost, so he said: "Go take a shower, eat something and rest, and the official will talk to you in detail in the evening."

Duoyan Sanwei originally asked the Ming court to form an alliance with the emperor with an indispensable attitude, but he also expected that the Ming Emperor would not condescend to meet them.

They know that the Han court has the best face, and others take profits, but the Ming court would rather have fame than profit, and even trade with other countries must ask the other party to also pay tribute.

Unexpectedly, the Heavenly Khan of the eastern country really came, Huadang and the tribal leaders were both surprised and a little flattered, Huadang immediately ordered four thousand iron horsemen, traveled day and night, and began to secretly march in the direction of Datong.

Zhang Yong saw Wu Hanchao withdraw, and suddenly became nervous. He said to Yang Ling: "Lord Yang, Hua Dang is really coming, if Boyan knows the news, it will inevitably be unfavorable to the emperor, let's really meet with them?" ”

Yang Ling was also a little nervous in his heart, but if he showed timidity and worried about others, wouldn't he be even more afraid? He forcibly suppressed the tension in his heart, nodded and said, "See! There is no turning back when you open the bow, retreating at this time, not only to be ashamed of others, but after thousands of years, you and I and Huang Yanjing will become the people who are laughed at by others! ”

Yang Ling stood up and paced a few steps in the room, and said: "Huadang only brought four thousand people and horses, these people say that it is a lot less, but when it is scattered into the desert grassland, it is like a drop in the ocean, and there is no shadow to be seen, not to mention that Boyan Tanma only pays attention to the movements of our Ming army, and there is no reason to set up a horse exploration horse in his own rear, so he may not be able to find out." ”

Yang Ling walked to the table, lifted the teapot to refill the hot tea for Zhang Yonghe, and continued: "Duoyan Sanwei often comes to the border to rob, even if Boyan knows, he will only think that he is taking advantage of the fire to rob, and the news that the emperor left Beijing to come to Datong, it is impossible for the Tatars to know."

When Yang Ling said this, he suddenly remembered what the delicate, red figure said to him on a horse in the wind and snow: "Strange, it's been so long, why hasn't the Maitreya Sect moved?" Is the red lady deceiving herself, or does Maitreya not know that the emperor came to Datong, or does she know but there is no gap? ”

The Maitreya Sect is not yet the time for an open rebellion, especially Datong is like a barracks, there are soldiers outside the city and soldiers inside the city, even if the Maitreya Sect wants to kill the emperor in their dreams, they have no chance to do it here.

Thinking of this, Yang Ling put aside this threat, which was not likely to pose a threat in the army of ten thousand horses, and continued to consider the movements of Boyan Khan, his army was now looting and attacking in the Huguan and Binh Thuan areas, and he didn't know anything about the emperor's news in Datong, but in case of fraud, his iron cavalry could gallop back within a day, which was indeed the biggest threat.

Yang Ling thought of this, applauded lightly, and a fan quietly flashed into the door, Yang Ling said: "Go, notify the local people in the inner factory to step up the collection of all news, pay attention to all suspicious people, and report as soon as there is news!" ”

Fanzi answered and turned around. Yang Ling walked back to the table and grabbed the paper inkstone and said: "Yang Yiqing's army is close at hand, don't be busy informing him, wait until Hua Dang arrives near Zuo and then let Yang Yiqing dispatch the army, I will write a secret letter now, please send the golden seal, and let the Taiyuan commander wave the troops to Datong as a reserve." Early tomorrow morning, I personally took people to rush to Baishan Mountain in disguise to survey the terrain and make preparations in advance."

Zhang Yong said worriedly: "Disguise? If you don't have enough people, you won't be in danger, so let's take two thousand iron and ride away."

Yang Ling shook his head and smiled: "Liao Liao, the person who knows the location of the Alliance, if I take thousands of troops to Baishan Mountain to visit the scenery, isn't it obvious to tell others that Qin Cha must have a purpose when he comes here?" Rest assured, it has always been calm there, it is close to the city, the main force of the Tartars has gone to Pingshun again, and I will go to Baishan Mountain only you know, who will wait there in advance? Isn't that a living immortal? ”

The jade merchant Bao Liuye walked down the stairs full of wine and food in the "Baimei Pavilion", staggering and humming a small tune with a smile on his face, he had just negotiated a business again, and it was not easy in this panic.

The burly, honest-faced coachman and bodyguard of the Mongol Aman dutifully followed him, helping him from time to time to keep him out of the way from the other drinkers.

Walking to the porch of the door, Xiao Er, who was in charge of the stable, hurriedly led the carriage of Master Bao, Aman took the reins, and a ball of paper was quietly handed to him.

Aman quietly spread out the small piece of paper on his thigh, and there was only one line of small words on it: "The Li family has grain under the white mountain", Aman waved a whip casually and shouted: "Drive!" The paper ball was stuffed into the big mouth, chewed twice, and swallowed.

(To be continued)
