Chapter 95: The Letter

Chapter 95: The Letter

Early the next morning, Miss Gao Wenxin, the goddess doctor, took off her pleasure and was quietly taken out of the city by a small sedan chair.

At noon, Wang Qiong, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, was pardoned and released from prison by the emperor's decree. As soon as the white-haired Wang Shangshu came out of the prison of the Criminal Department, he was like a hero returning triumphantly, surrounded by the officials who rushed to greet him. Most of the officials from the DPRK and China came, and although it was inconvenient for the three scholars to show up, they also sent people to send them to congratulate them.

There was a big banquet in the Shangshu Mansion, and a group of literary officials could not help but divide the rhyme and poetry, and congratulate and welcome them. When the wine was half-drunk, Wang Qiong picked up the cup and walked to the center of the hall, and said: "Colleagues and friends, Wang Qiong violated Tianyan and committed a crime and was imprisoned. This glass of wine, the old man respects everyone! ”

Wang Qiong said, raised his glass and drank it all. Although he set up wine at home to thank his colleagues, he still kept the etiquette, dressed as a heavy filial piety for the first emperor, with white hair and white beard, and a righteous face. The officials who came to congratulate him saw Shangshu toasting and got up one after another to respond.

Ma Wensheng, the secretary of the ministry, said with a smile: "Wang Shangshu's moral article, the world admires, as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, he is even more conscientious, that in order to persuade the emperor to keep the courtesy, he was angry and collided with the holy car, which was originally not a big deal, even if I can't wait for the book to ask for forgiveness, the emperor will definitely pardon the adult." ”

Wang Qiong couldn't help but smile happily when she heard such praise from the heavenly officials of the Ministry of Officials, walked back to the table and sat down and said: "Ma Shangshu has a good reputation, my Chinese kingdom is a country of etiquette and righteousness, and a country of food and etiquette. When a saint creates five rituals, we should understand rituals, practice rituals, observe rituals, and respect rituals. This is a major event of the country, the society, the people, and the heirs, how can a courtier see the monarch and not say anything? But if you can persuade the emperor to keep your courtesies and talk about going to prison, even if you die, what then? ”

Wang Wei nodded again and again and said kindly: "The saint is virtuous with courtesy, respects virtue with courtesy, the so-called people are rude and do not live, things are rude, and the country is rude.

Liu Yu, the military attendant of the Imperial History of the Right Capital, the Governor Xuanhua, Datong, and Shanxi Military Affairs, suddenly said when he heard this: "As far as the lower officials know, the emperor's pro-army guard commander Yang Ling Yang had pleaded with the emperor this morning, he was a celebrity in front of the emperor, maybe the biggest contribution of the emperor out of prison this time is Lord Yang."

Wang Qiong was displeased when she heard this, and sneered: "A young man with a mouth, relying on being an old minister of the East Palace, can enter and leave the court, what does he know?" Hum! When the old man persuaded the emperor to go back to the palace to keep the spirit, it was he who slandered and stopped him, and the old man was angry and threw him with an inkstone, how could he intercede for the old man? ”

Yang Fang heard this: "Yang Lingjin pleaded for Lord Shangshu, this matter is indeed there, but according to this official's opinion, he must have seen Lord Shangshu in prison, the crowd was raging, and the officials were angry, so as not to become the target of the public, so he acted like this!" ”

Zhao Jianyi, the waiter of the Criminal Department, patted his thigh and said: "Exactly, the boss must not have known that he has been in prison for a few days, and Yang Ling also said to the emperor that officials in the rich provinces in the world are not allowed to serve in this province.

"What?" Wang Qiong said angrily: "The way to govern the world is not to take laws and regulations as the urgency, but to educate first. If we want to put an end to corruption and prevent pollution, we should talk about etiquette and music, righteous behavior, widespread education, and beautiful customs. How can we use the system to guard against corruption as to educate with morality? Isn't this a sacrifice of the basics? ”

Xu Guan, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, saw that most of the officials around him talked about Yang Ling's new policy, and he was secretly happy in his heart, and he smiled slightly: "What Wang Shangshu said is that good laws and regulations are forbidden for a while, and education can be maintained for a long time.

Jiao Fang, the servant of the Ministry of Officials, originally served in the Ministry of Officials, and was Wang Qiong's old subordinate, and he had to come to congratulate him because of his face, but he was narrow-minded, Wang Qiong had suppressed him out of selfishness, and Jiao Fang had always been obsessed with it.

Liu Daxia, the secretary of the military department, frowned and said: "Well, the old man also felt that the kid was making a little unlikely, yesterday the emperor suddenly went out of the palace to the western suburbs of Huangzhuang, and the western suburbs of the valley were full of colorful clouds at night, and the left sentinel army of the Shenji Battalion was stationed there according to the holy decree.

Liu Daxia was silent when he said this, but kept shaking his head.

Wang Jinglong and his close friends sat on the edge of the hall to accompany each other, and after listening to them, Zhao Yong smiled and said, "Everyone, did you hear it?" Now the hundreds of officials in the DPRK and China are dissatisfied with that annihilation, but it is a pity that they can't hold the evidence of his lawlessness. ”

Yang Lin shook his head and said: "It's difficult, who is not well-informed among the hundreds of officials in the court?" If there had been a mistake in him, he should have been caught a long time ago. ”

Zhao Yong smiled coldly and said: "Brother Zhao, those who become big things are not informal, Yang Ling is cunning and cunning, and he acts carefully, so that people can't find his handle, can't we find the handle, can't we give him a little?" ”

Wang Jinglong listened to the strange words: "How to send this?" What is Brother Yang's clever plan? If there is real evidence, then it is fine", he lowered his voice, "If it is a false evidence to frame the minister, it is a big crime."

Zhao Yong sneered and said, "Shunqing, if it weren't for Yang Ling to provoke Ling Zun, how could the old man be angry and startled the Holy Driver?" The old man is over seventy years old, and he has to suffer from prison, and as a son of man, if he does not repay this revenge, he is really a man who hides seven feet in vain."

Wang Jinglong's face flushed when he was excited, and he hurriedly said, "Why doesn't the little brother want to vent this evil breath for his father? It's just that he has no evidence to help him! ”

Zhao Yong smiled proudly: "The solution hasn't been figured out by anyone? You went to Yang's Mansion to ask Yang Ling to mediate for Shibo two years ago, and now you just took advantage of this reason to come to thank him and take the initiative to make friends with him.

When he said this, he lowered his voice and said softly: "If you really can't find it, then plant some dirt for him, and at that time, you can't bring him down if you strangle him seven inches and impeach him by a hundred officials?" As long as it is done cleverly, what evidence does he have that we planted it? ”

Zhao Yong's father is a servant of the Ministry of Officials, Zhao Yong has heard some of this method of rectifying people in the yamen, he has no personal grudges against Yang Ling, but he has heard that his father and uncles and elders are quite dissatisfied with Yang Ling, and they think that he is not a good official and wants to be a hero who fights for righteousness and annihilation.

Wang Jinglong was first overjoyed when he heard this, thought about it for a while, and suddenly wondered: "But Yang Lingming said that he went to supervise the construction of the emperor's mausoleum, could I not chase after the emperor's mausoleum?" ”

Zhao Yong had just come up with a felony that was enough to bring down Yang Ling, and when he heard this, he was even more happy, and he couldn't help but say with his eyebrows fluttering: "Very good, he is not at home, and there is only one class of uneducated female dependents left in the mansion, which is more convenient for us to act."

Wang Jinglong rolled his eyes and said angrily: "Brother Zhao, there is only one group of female dependents left in the Yang Mansion, how can I come to visit?" ”

Zhao Yong was also stunned when he said this, but Yang Lin laughed and said: "I have a way, didn't the emperor get rid of the identity of the daughter of the criminal official Gao Tinghe and relegate to the Yang family as a slave?" Sister-in-law and Mrs. Mian have been sick for a long time, and they have not been able to find a good doctor, Brother Wang said that he can go to Yang's Mansion today to thank him, and then mention that he wants to take his wife to diagnose the disease, forgive Yang Ling There is no reason not to agree, so even if he is not at home, won't Brother Wang be able to enter the house? ”

Yang Lin was overjoyed when he heard this, and praised: "Yes, this plan is very wonderful, follow the plan and act according to the plan, wait to find out the details of the Yang family, and then Xu Tuzhi!" ”

Wang Jinglong couldn't help but be displeased when he heard it, and for some reason, two beautiful and beautiful maids suddenly jumped in his heart.

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

Under the sun, the Gaofu Garden, which is full of Jiangnan charm, is bright and pretty, turning into the stone gate that has been dyed turquoise with moss, and with a slight movement of footsteps, the golden red swimming fish in the shadow of the pool under the Jiuqu cloister will swim away and flee to the depths of the grass.

There are countless vines hanging from the rockery, and a curtain is set up from the pond out of thin air, which is directly connected to the root pillars on the zigzag stone corridor, covering the sunlight and only pouring countless mottled light and shadows between the branches and leaves.

Such a quiet and beautiful scenery, Yang Ling had no intention of appreciating it. Last night, he escorted Emperor Zhengde back to Beijing, and in the morning he sent his own soldiers to follow Liu Jin to the Jiaofang Division to deliver the holy edict and escort Miss Gao back, but he was ordered to stay in the palace.

Yang Ling also said that the little emperor had any greedy ideas and wanted to support him to do it, but he didn't expect that Emperor Zhengde told him that the ministers of the court were dissatisfied with his stay in the capital and did not serve the envoys, and asked him to rush to Tailing immediately, but Yang Ling had no choice but to agree.

Now he is very satisfied with his status and status, and he doesn't want to ask for Wenda anymore, he just wants to spend more time with his young mother, but he can't help himself in the rivers and lakes, he is not a prince born with a golden rice spoon, if he wants to have a carefree life, there are some things that must be done. However, it will take at least four months for Taeling to be completed, so how many more four months do he have to kill?

Yang Ling thought about his thoughts, and walked forward at once, feeling that it was difficult to say the words of leaving to the young lady, and suddenly heard a melodious sound of the piano dingdong, he knew that it was Xue Limei caressing the qin, stopped and listened for a moment, and the sadness in his heart was even better, Yang Ling couldn't help but sigh leisurely, and continued to walk forward.

The stone corridor is covered with green leaves, as soon as you step in, you will feel cool and quiet, Yang Ling turned a corner, suddenly saw the curved corridor poking out of a half-bend, hanging on the water to build a lotus leaf-shaped pavilion, the pavilion cover is emerald green, but the four pillars are the natural color of wood, it looks antique.

The pond under the pavilion is rippling, and a person sits on the railing. She was dressed in green clothes, holding the railing with both hands, her chin resting elegantly on the back of her hand, shining on the water, her hair was like ink, and only a white silk was tied to her forehead.

Yang Ling unconsciously slowed down, the girl in green clothes suddenly looked back when she heard the footsteps, Yang Ling saw that this girl seemed to have never seen it, and she was stunned.

The girl glanced back at him, hurriedly stood up, hurriedly walked two steps, bowed to him Yingying, and said: "Wenxin has been waiting for the adult for a long time, the adult's great kindness and virtue and the little maid have nothing to repay in this life, please accept the little maid!" As he spoke, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times.

When Yang Ling heard this, he suddenly realized, it turned out that this girl was the goddess doctor he had rescued, and he hurriedly said: "Miss, please get up, don't call it that, Yang Ling is really ashamed, he failed to get the emperor to pardon you, but now the identity of this slave is just a pretense to deal with outsiders, the goddess doctor is full of Beijing masters, Yang Ling will never dare to treat each other as a maid."

Yang Ling said while looking at her, last night she was bleeding on her forehead, her face was stained with tears, her cloak was full of redness, and she was very ugly when she woke up in the morning.

Her facial features are not beautiful, neither as delicate as a young lady nor as charming as a child, but her eyes are clear, and she gives people a sense of immaculate beauty from the inside to the outside, and that kind of elegance is not just based on appearance.

Gao Wenxin got up lightly and said in a low voice: "The Gao family is in trouble, the little maid's family is ruined, and now she is a homeless person, my lord saved me, this kindness is the mountains and the seas are deep, not to mention that the holy decree is so easy to change?" Adults can do this, it is an ending that the little maid can't even imagine. The little maid doesn't dare to be infatuated anymore, she just wants to be a little maid in Yangfu, Gao Wenxin's three words, and don't mention it from now on."

When Yang Ling saw her last night, this girl was also like an ordinary woman, panicked and frightened, she couldn't imagine that her expression was as calm as water now, and her words were generous, and she was like two people last night.

When Yang Ling heard her say this, he couldn't help but secretly complain in his heart, a Yutangchun and a Xuelimei in the family were already embarrassed and unclear, if they were mixed in with a goddess doctor, then the back garden of the Yang family would be really too lively.

Yang Ling hurriedly said: "The left and right are just an empty identity, why should Miss mind?" I know that the young lady promised the son of Li Yuanwai in the neighboring village, and when I turned around, I went to inform Li Gongzi, and said that I would take you over and complete the marriage."

The corners of Gao Wenxin's mouth showed a smile that seemed to be ridiculed and self-deprecating, and he said indifferently: "My lord, Li Gongzi's family is a scholarly family, an official family, and he is a dignified person, do you think he will marry the daughter of a criminal official and a woman who has entered the teaching department?" ”

Speaking of this, her originally calm eyes suddenly surged with a layer of mist, and she looked at Yang Ling sadly. Yang Ling was speechless for a moment, dodging her gaze and said, "Miss is a woman, and a disaster has fallen from the sky, how can you have the strength to resist?" If you have a little conscience, who will bear to criticize you? In this case, I will immediately repair a letter, explain the reason, and send it to the Li Mansion."

Gao Wenxin opened his mouth, and before he could speak, Yang Ling had already turned around and hurriedly left, Gao Wenxin stood in a daze for a long time before he sighed sadly: "The world is warm and cold, human feelings are like frost, Wenxin is already unbearable at this point, Lord Yang, why do you have to do so much, let me be ashamed again?" ”

Yang Ling couldn't imagine that after saving people, there would be a pile of messes to clean up by himself, and now he lives in the Gao family's house, whether Gao Wenxin is a young lady or a girl, staying here is enough to make people feel awkward.

In fact, he was also uneasy in his heart, I don't know if that Li Juren cares about the Gao family's troubles, whether he cares if Miss Gao has entered the Teaching Workshop Division, and now he is also sick and rushed to the hospital, I just hope that with his own identity and prestige, he can repair a book to explain the experience, hoping to make the old man believe it.

Yang Ling returned to the study, hurriedly wrote a letter, and handed it to the old housekeeper to ask him to go to the Li Mansion immediately, the old housekeeper stayed in the Gao family all his life, although the Gao family is in trouble now, but he still has great feelings for the old master, and when he heard that Lord Yang wanted to match the marriage between Miss and the Li family, he immediately took the letter and rushed to the Li family village.

As soon as Yang Ling sent the housekeeper away, Wang Jinglong came to visit with a four-color gift. Yang Ling looked at the appearance of his anger and hatred last time, and begged softly, only to say that as soon as Wang Qiong was released from prison, this prince would never come to the door again, and he didn't expect that Wang Shangshu had just been released, so he came to thank him.

Wang Jinglong has the heart of "acceptance", and this action is much more natural, and it is no longer the expression that dared to be angry but did not dare to speak last time. Yang Ling also didn't want to make a feud with his protégé Wang Shangshu, who was all over the world, seeing that the third prince of the king was very enthusiastic, and he didn't lose his manners, he hurriedly served tea and guests, and the scene was not salty and chattering for a long time, Wang Jinglong changed his words, and proposed to bring his wife to the door to seek medical treatment, and asked the goddess doctor of the Yang family to treat her.

Yang Ling suddenly said that he was only complimented because of this reason, and he still had some doubts about his attitude, but he was also relieved at this time.

He calculated a little, if the son of the Li family saw his letter and was willing to accept Miss Gao, in order to hide people's eyes and ears and prevent the young lady's illness from being exposed, he still had to invite Miss Gao to come to the house from time to time.

Wang Jinglong talked for a while, and saw that Yang Ling was meeting guests today, and there were only four servants waiting in the hall, and he did not call out the two beautiful maids he had seen last time.

Yang Ling sent Wang Jinglong away, sat in the study for a while, drank two cups of tea, and the old housekeeper hurried back, Yang Ling was overjoyed when he saw him, and hurriedly welcomed him in and asked, "Old housekeeper, has the letter been delivered?" What did the Li family say? ”

The old housekeeper was so angry that his face was swollen red, and he said angrily: "Master, the villain took your letter and rushed to Li Yuanwai's house, the Li family actually seemed to avoid the plague, and didn't even let me enter the door, only asked me to stuff the letter through the crack in the door, and the old slave waited for half an hour before the son of the Li family wrote a letter, and stuffed it out along the crack in the door, from beginning to end, he didn't even see his face."

Yang Ling couldn't help but sink in his heart when he heard the old housekeeper's words, he hurriedly asked for the reply from the old butler, unfolded it and read it carefully. This letter is a typical classical Chinese text, the text is remote, the content is profound, and this fake show is really difficult to read the letter of the real man.

Yang Ling read word by word for a long time before he roughly understood the content of the letter. In the letter, the letter first talked about the etiquette, righteousness and shame that women should abide by, and then proudly from the Li family to the five generations to the present glorious deeds of the eunuch, and finally asked very politely, do you want me, the lord, to be the husband of your handmaiden?

Yang Ling choked there after reading it, he was in a daze, Han Youniang rushed in happily, and said, "Xianggong, I made sour plum soup in the well this morning, do you want to drink a bowl?" ”

Yang Ling wiped his sweat and said: "Well, young lady, go get me a mattress mat and a quilt, Xianggong won't go to the backyard tonight, just sleep in this study."
