Chapter 92 Huangzhuang Fengyun

Yang Ling came to the Qianqing Palace and saw that Ma Yongcheng and Gu Dayong were in the palace, Gu Dayong was waiting behind Zhengde, and Ma Yongcheng was standing in front of the case and talking. Seeing him coming, Emperor Zhengde interrupted Ma Yongcheng's words and smiled at him: "Tell you to come later, it's really late enough, I have already made it to the morning before you arrive."

Yang Ling saw the salute and said with a smile: "The emperor instructed the ministers to rest more, that is the emperor's compassion, if the ministers come early, wouldn't they have a negative will?" ”

Emperor Zhengde pouted and said: "Pretend, you have a lady to accompany you, so naturally you don't want to accompany me" Seeing that Yang Ling was stunned, he couldn't help laughing, clapped his hands and laughed: "Sure enough, I guessed, the young lady and sister are like the queen mother, and the women in the world are almost the same, haha!" ”

Yang Ling laughed when he heard it, Ma Yongcheng and Gu Dayong listened to him as an emperor, and they had no scruples to call other people's young ladies and sisters, so they had to laugh with him, and they didn't dare to criticize him.

Ma Yongcheng coughed dryly, greeted Yang Ling with a smile, and quickly changed the topic and continued to Emperor Zhengde: "Your Majesty, after the old slave revealed your meaning in the court room, Lord Han Wenhan, the head of the household department, said: 'The treasury is empty, and the officials who manage the money are not those who play jugglers and tricks invited by the East Palace.

Zhengde slapped the table and said angrily: "What is this called? Our Ming Dynasty has been paying low taxes to support the people, and the taxes collected by the imperial court are not much, not to mention that I also said that I would take out half of the money in the inner treasury, but asked them to repair the garden in Beihai, pull out the weeds, and build a few small boats to play when they are idle. ”

Ma Yongcheng nodded and said: "Yes, yes, Master Jiao Fangjiao, the servant of the ministry, said: 'The common people's homes also have extra use, and sometimes they will go out to play, build a garden pavilion or something at home, let alone the royal family? The imperial court has always been tolerant, such as the money and grain owed today, and the taxes that have been evaded, there are countless counts! Even if you only urge one or two percent back, you don't need to call the emperor to limit the amount of use.'"

Emperor Zhengde turned his anger into joy when he heard this: "Jiao Fang? Did you take a small living creature yesterday to advise me about that Jiao Fang? Hehe, this official's method of admonishment is interesting, not like those old masters who are often sad and compassionate, as if I don't listen to him, the sky is about to fall. Well, he's quite considerate to hear him, and he's a good official."

Ma Yongcheng said with a smile: "What the emperor said is true, but Lord Jiao was immediately reprimanded by Lord Han, Lord Yang, Lord Liu, etc., and he didn't dare to respond when he was shocked." ”

Emperor Hongzhi rarely traveled, he had not been out of the Forbidden City many times in his life, although he had taken his son out in private, he was only walking in the market, and the royal garden naturally could not go, it was in disrepair, and the North Sea was deserted.

Now Zhengde wants to repair it, in fact, the project is not big, and the cost of silver is very small, Yang Ling has also heard him through the tone in advance, and vaguely heard that the reason why the courtiers are resolutely opposed to this matter is just to prevent the slightest mistake, afraid that as soon as this mouth opens, the emperor's playfulness will become heavier and heavier, so he resolutely opposes it, and must bind the emperor in the Forbidden City.

In Yang Ling's view, this is just a trivial matter, whether he cultivates or not has no impact on the current Ming Dynasty, and the history he knows will not change. This matter has not yet reached the point of working the people and losing money, and Yang Ling did not have the luxury of hoping to transform Zhengde into a public servant of the people and the people, so he naturally did not say anything.

Zhengde muttered indignantly for a while, and said like a deflated ball: "Then let's do it first, they don't pay for it, I spend my own, you give me a good look at the money bag." By the way, now you accompany Yang Ling to the outskirts of the city, take over my imperial village, and I will go and see it for myself when I have time."

Yang Ling and Ma Yongcheng saw that he was in a bad mood, so they hurriedly received the order and withdrew from the palace, and first went to see the five hundred pro-army led by Liu Biao. Yang Ling saw Ma Yongcheng, remembering that it was Ma Yongcheng who sent the silver to redeem Tang Yixian, and he brought the three girls home, thinking that he had saved people from the fire pit, but now he caused a fairy girl to be missing, and he couldn't help but feel a little depressed.

Seeing his depressed expression, Ma Yongcheng couldn't help but say strangely: "Lord Yang, why are you so worried, but what are you worried about?" ”

Yang Lingqiang smiled: "Oh, it's nothing, by the way, last time my father-in-law sent silver taels to redeem Miss Tang, I only spent 10,000 taels, and I never found a chance to return the remaining silver taels to my father-in-law, and when I return home in a while, I will take the silver and return it to you."

Ma Yongcheng said with a smile: "No need, no need, the emperor favors Lord Yang, and he also gave Lord Yang a big mansion in the Imperial Village. ”

He proudly showed off again: "What's more, our family is already in charge of the inner treasury, and all the envoys in the palace have been handed over to our family, what is this silver tael?" ”

Yang Ling knew that Ma Yongcheng had taken charge of the financial power in the palace, and hurriedly congratulated him, Ma Yongcheng was full of joy and smile: how common the tens of thousands of people in the palace are, he has changed from a small procurement to the chief financial manager of the harem, and he is simply sitting on the gold mountain, and the ten thousand taels of silver saved in the past are naturally not taken to heart.

In the western suburbs of Beijing, seven villages are connected together, and they are all encircled by Zhengde as Huangzhuang. Yang Ling was ordered to stay here for a long time, and I heard that the emperor had given him a ready-made house, so there was no reason not to bring the young lady. So he led 500 pro-troops and rushed back with his family, which led to catch Xixiao.

The new emperor ascended the throne, and the Beijing division had settled down, and suddenly these many soldiers naturally couldn't hide their actions, not to mention that the leader was Yang Ling, who had been in the limelight recently, and the news immediately spread throughout the Beijing division. Zhao Yong and others, who were having a banquet in the restaurant, also heard the news and hurriedly sent a family member to go with them to see what was going on.

Yang Ling led the army to Xixiao, the sun was red, and it was about to go down the mountain. At this time, the distant mountains are like smoke, the fields in front of you are fertile, the crops are green and lush, and the stream is like a jade belt around the field, and the atmosphere is extremely elegant.

In the crop fields, birds and frogs chirping, a leisurely pastoral scene, the young lady, Zhang and others were happy to see it, Sister Yu and Xue Limei rarely saw this kind of rural scenery, and they were fascinated by it and drunk.

The house given to Yang Ling was the richest of the seven villages, a village of fifty or sixty families, the yards separated by half-man-high fences, the courtyards surrounded by winding water bridges, green willows, and shepherd boys driving cattle and sheep home on the village paths.

On the road, there was a woman and an old man who saw this large group of people and horses, and they all stopped to watch with amazement, although these people lived in Jingxiao, but they seemed to have never been out of the house in their lives, and they looked extremely wooden and simple.

When Yang Ling arrived at the boundary of the land, he couldn't help but laugh dumbly when he heard the name of this village, this village is called Gao Laozhuang, and he doesn't know if Wu Chengen's kid has also been to this place.

However, after coming to this world for so long, Yang Ling already knows that people in this world still don't know the book "Journey to the West", it is estimated that Lao Wu has either not been born or has not started writing, if it weren't for the lack of copyright protection in this era, and he couldn't make money writing books, Yang Ling almost plagiarized it, so that he would keep his name among the four famous novels.

The village chief led a few squires to wait at the entrance of the village early, and when he saw them, he greeted them respectfully, this village chief was not very old, in his forties, and he was in the prime of life. Look at his dress and talk, he is also a landlord who has read poetry and books and has a solid family.

Yang Ling followed their guidance to his new home, which is a large mansion with three courtyards before and after, a large courtyard with a high gate, a newly made plaque of gold and black ground hanging under the eaves door: "Weiwubo Mansion", the door hole of the red lacquer copper ring is open below, and the door is a painting and shadow on the wall, and it seems that the original owner is a very spacious family.

Yang Ling's small village of 500 pro-army could not afford to entertain him, so Yang Ling had already ordered to go down and ordered the army to temporarily set up camp tents in a large peach and apricot grove not far behind Weiwubo's mansion, bury their own pots and make food, and never disturb the place. Fortunately, the 500 soldiers said that it was too much, but not too much, and more than 20 big tents were set up and they stayed.

As soon as he entered the house, in addition to the respectful and faceless characters in the village, what was unexpected was that there were two rows of male and female servants standing there, Yang Ling saw that although the family servants who came to greet him were all in green clothes and hats, but their expressions and temperaments were a little elegant and elegant, and he couldn't help but secretly rejoice in his heart: Who said that this little emperor is not more important, this person is really good.

Although the feast was held in the Weiwubo Mansion, it was prepared by the village chief and the squires, and when everyone entered the house, the family moved in the few cages, and immediately spread the tables and chairs, set up the feast, and entertained the new master.

Yang Ling and Gao Yuanwai are not familiar with each other, and the female dependents are sitting alone in the inner court, and there is nothing to say to each other except for some polite words, Ma Yongcheng only replied to Yang Ling with some words, ignoring these rural buns, and Gao Yuan is a very well-behaved person. Seeing this posture, he agreed to take his leave after a while.

Yang Ling politely sent the senior officials and others out of the door, and returned to drink and laugh with Ma Yongcheng, Liu Biao and several generals in the pro-army. Ma Yongcheng was full of wine and food and said goodbye with a smile, Yang Ling wanted to take the silver taels and return him, Ma Yongcheng refused to live or die, and went straight into the sedan chair to return to the palace.

After Yang Ling sent Liu Biao and a few people away, the huge courtyard was deserted, and the two family members lit two red lanterns, rushed to hang them at the door of the house, and then covered the gate.

Yang Ling sniffed his nose and asked, "How can there be a smell of medicine?" ”

The old housekeeper hurriedly bowed down and said, "Master, the old owner of this house has planted some medicinal herbs in the garden, and now it is blooming with tweed, so it has some medicinal smell."

Yang Ling sighed, looked at his new home with satisfaction, and looked at the sky and night with a smile, only to feel that this antique house, this elegant and simple rural scenery makes people feel particularly comfortable, not to mention that its hostess is so lovely.

Is Gentle Township a hero's mound, or a hero's happy nest? Yang Ling suddenly felt that if he had no desire and no quarrel, he would live here with his young mother like this, planting flowers and grass, wouldn't that kind of happy life be more leisurely than a fairy?

Yang Ling smiled and turned his head, and saw the two family members standing respectfully on the side, one of the old servants who looked like a housekeeper was still calm, and the other younger young man was a little afraid of him, and couldn't help but smile gently: "Don't be afraid, my master doesn't have any fights, everyone will be a family in the future, and I won't punish people casually."

The old housekeeper hurriedly responded: "Yes, my lord is lenient, the seat in the backyard has been removed, the master has just moved home, and his body is tired, do you want to rest now?" The girls have already set up the old lady's bedroom."

After he finished speaking, he saw that the little queen next to him was still stunned, and hurriedly turned him with his shoulder, and the servant in the green coat and hat hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, please rest in peace."

Yang Ling glanced at him strangely, he always felt that this servant was a little strange, he thought that he was a newcomer and didn't know each other well, so this servant was a little timid, so he didn't take it too seriously, so he smiled casually: "Well, I'm on my own, you can withdraw the banquet in the middle hall and rest early."

This house is really not small, the front yard is on the wall and the back hall is two rows of side rooms on both sides of the courtyard, which is where the servants of the family live, and the left and right sides of the reception hall in the middle hall are two houses that pass through the hall, a study room, and a small hall to meet important guests.

Passing through the middle hall is a garden, rockery pool, curved corridor pavilion, everywhere vine and radish entanglement, the wind blows, there is a fresh fragrance of flowers, although the garden is not big, but it is extremely exquisite, quite the taste of the garden of the water town in the south of the Yangtze River.

Yang Ling was even happier in his heart, now that the night is late, he can't see clearly, so he said to take a good look, the mansion in this small place is really like a fairyland. He paced through the corridor, and had just entered the dwelling of the ladies in the backyard through the moon gate, when he heard a faint cry.

Yang Ling was shocked, and hurriedly hurried over, the backyard is a two-storey small building in the shape of a concave, and the first floor directly opposite is a flower hall, and there are two maids standing at the door of the hall.

Yang Ling heard the crying coming from the hall, and he didn't care about them, and hurriedly rushed into the hall, only to see Han Youniang, Yutangchun, Xue Limei and sister-in-law Zhang all with sad faces, and Yun'er was picking up a plain girl in a plain shirt who was crying from the ground.

Yang Ling exclaimed: "Young lady, what happened?" ”

When Han Youniang saw him, she hurriedly came up and grabbed his hand, and said sadly: "Xianggong, this family is so pitiful, do you want to save them?" ”。

Yang Ling said in surprise: "This family? What the hell is going on? He asked, his heart was pounding, but the little emperor was bewitched by others, and did something hurtful to give him a house, then he couldn't afford this crime.

Su San pulled the plain-shirted girl and said: "This girl is a relative of the old owner of this house, Master Gao's family, and the nephew of the Gao family, Miss Gao, you tell my family about the matter, my family is very capable, and I will definitely be able to save your sister."

Yang Ling glanced at the plain-clothed girl, and saw that the girl was seventeen or eighteen years old, with a few freckles on her cheeks, and her appearance was Zhou Zheng, and she was gently wiping her tears.

Yang Ling hurriedly said: "What happened, you can tell me."

It turned out that when the young lady and others were eating, several people because of the new relocation, seeing that the scenery in the courtyard was such a fairy-like place, their hearts couldn't help but rejoice, and several women sat in the flower hall while eating and chatting, laughing happily from time to time.

There is a servant girl standing aside, seeing them talking and laughing, her face can't help but show a sad look, from time to time quietly turn around to find tears, Yutang Chun is sitting opposite her, see her look different, so she called her over to ask what happened, this girl was at first fashionable and panicked to cover up, and then had to kneel down to apologize, and said the matter, this tragic incident made the young lady and several people couldn't help but cry.

It turns out that the owner of this big mansion is called Gao Tinghe, who was just taken by Emperor Zhengde to the entrance of the vegetable market a few days ago to cut off the unlucky imperial doctor, Emperor Hongzhi took the medicine, and his nose bleed and died, Zhengde was angry, the eunuch Zhang Yu who gave the emperor medicine and Liu Wentai, the director of the hospital, were both pulled to cut off their heads, can he, the doctor who is responsible for prescribing medicine to the emperor, be let go?

And his guilt is even worse than the two death row prisoners, in order to make a difference, the criminal department sentenced three people to death, and Gao Tinghe was even more guilty of one degree, sentenced to raid the house, confiscated property, sentenced his son to beheading, his daughter was assigned to the teacher's department, and the rest were all registered as slaves.

This Gao Taiyi's family is scarce, there are no sons, and only one daughter is named Gao Wenxin, who is eighteen years old, and has already been married to the Li family in the neighboring village. But three years ago, the old lady of the Li family passed away, and the young master of the Li family kept filial piety for three years, and the daughter's marriage was delayed. As a result, he has now been arrested in the Teaching Workshop Division.

This plain-shirted girl is called Gao Wenlan, and she also has a younger brother, Gao Wenju, who is the young man who served Yang Ling in the front garden. Gao Tinghe's brother Gao Tingzheng died early, and Imperial Physician Gao took his brother's two children into the house to take care of them. I thought that I would marry my daughter in August this year, and then pass Gao Wen to my knees, but fortunately it was a little late, otherwise the only incense of the Gao family would have been pulled to beheaded.

It turned out that he had a family, and his family was ruined in an instant, and he was originally the identity of the young master, and he had to stay here to serve the people who occupied his own family, how could he not make people cry sadly?

Yang Ling couldn't help but feel sorry for her after listening to her narration, Han Youniang took his hand and said: "Xianggong, the girl of the Gao family is a young lady from a big family who knows how to answer gifts, and being sent to that kind of place is a waste of people, isn't it better to live than to die?" Xianggong, can you save her? ”

Yang Ling couldn't help but hesitate when he heard this, asking for someone from the Teaching Workshop Division, with his identity is just a trivial matter, but the other party is a prisoner, this is not something that can be easily provoked. Gao Tinghe's sin is related to the death of the first emperor, can his relatives be rescued casually?

Sympathy is one thing, but if you want to see the unevenness of the road, you have to worry about your own pounds, what does Emperor Zhengde think about this, does he agree to release people?

Yang Ling was hesitating, Gao Wenlan saw him hesitating, and fell to his knees and begged again and again: "My lord, please save my sister from it, she knows how to answer the courtesy, is kind, has saved many patients in these ten miles and eight towns, has been doing good deeds, please save her." ”

Gao Wenlan knocked her head down a few times, her delicate forehead had already seen blood, and the young lady couldn't bear it even more when she saw it, and begged: "Xianggong, what a big deal it is for the women's name festival, and people are such a good girl." Xianggong, since we are here, it is also a fate, how can we not save it? ”

Yang Ling took a breath, and secretly smiled bitterly in his heart: Silly girl, you think that the prime minister has great ability, and Emperor Hongzhi is at the end of his life, who doesn't know the injustice of this imperial doctor's death, but none of the civil and military forces in the Manchu Dynasty came forward to intercede, and those imperial envoys also asked for severe punishment of the relevant personnel.

Besides, now that three days have passed, if Miss Gao refuses to give in, I am afraid that she will have committed suicide long ago, if she is afraid of death and succumbs, now I don't know how many guests Sheng Zhang Shuli has received, and it is too late to save her, if she really ends up like this, will she be willing to come back to see her relatives and old domestic servants?

Yang Ling thought in his heart, as soon as he looked up and saw the eyes of the young lady, Sister Yu'er, and Xue Limei, who were looking forward to it with infinite trust, and then looked at the girl who was still kowtowing and had blood on her forehead, she couldn't help but sigh, and stomped her foot heavily and said, "Okay, I'll go!" Wait at home, and I will go into the city at once, and go to the Church Division."

Yang Ling hurriedly came to the camp, led four saber guards, got on the horse and went straight to the capital, the road in the village was winding, the horse was difficult to move fast, and it took a long time to turn onto the official road.

How do you save people? If this was out of Emperor Zhengde's revenge, and he hastily saved people, then

When a gust of wind came, Yang Lingsi and the fate of Imperial Doctor Gao and his family couldn't help but shiver, and he turned his head sharply to look at the village, and the two lights in front of the house had turned into a glimmer of light.

Yang Ling secretly alerted himself: The career is dangerous, today I am in the court, what is the fate of the court, if it is planted one day, what will be the end? If my young lady and the girls who have been with me all the time, they will be sent too

Yang Ling's heart was cold: I can't go with the flow like this anymore, blindly relying on the emperor's favor, the safest and most dangerous, for the sake of my beloved family, I must find a way to have the ability to protect myself. If someone tries to be unfavorable to me, even if he is the emperor, then he is also my enemy, I Yang Ling only talk about conscience, not about the father and son!

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

Yang Ling didn't dare to act recklessly, so he first went to Jinyiwei to see Qian Ning, and heard that it was the Qin prisoner who was to be saved, Qian Ning was also afraid, but this guy still had some conscience, and under repeated persuasion, he mentioned some rules of the Teaching Division, so he excused himself to have something important to do, and fled in a hurry.

Originally, the Department of Rites was subordinate to the Ministry of Rites, with one person each for the left and right Shao dances and left and right music, and this place was not only a management officer, but also a ceremonial institution of the imperial court, and the music and dance required by the court's various gifts also needed to be responsible for the Department of Education.

There are two kinds of teaching workshops: the family and the musician. The man who remembered the family, his wife and daughter were all engaged in a comedy career; As for the musicians, generally speaking, their wives and daughters are songs. Once they entered the Department of Education, they were born as slaves and daughters as prostitutes for generations, and many of the women in the Department of Education are even descendants of some official families, ministers and princes who committed crimes more than a hundred years ago or even earlier.

Although the Jiaofang Division is responsible for the left and right Shao dances and the left and right Si Bian, but because the court ritual music often needs the Jiaofang Division to be responsible for rehearsals and performances, in order to facilitate the deployment, there is also a eunuch in the palace who is responsible for directing the Jiaofang Division, and this person is the real person in charge of the Jiaofang Division. Liu Jin used to be the eunuch in charge of the Teaching Workshop Division, and later because he was accused of accepting bribes, he was dismissed by Hongzhi, and he was in charge of the Bell and Drum Division.

Yang Ling couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard that it was the eunuch in the palace who was in charge of the teaching department, and now that he came forward, even Wang Yue and his father-in-law had to give some face, not to mention others, even if there was Zhengde Heng there who couldn't save people for a while, as long as he asked the eunuch in charge to send a word, he could take it a long time if he didn't send that Miss Gao to pick up the guests for the time being.

Yang Ling thought about this, did not go to the Jiaofang Division, ran to the imperial city first, and when he arrived outside the imperial city, he suddenly woke up and now the palace confinement was closed, even if he was holding the tooth card in the palace, he didn't want to open the palace door, and couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

Near the Jiaofang Division in the south of Yanjing City, three steps on the first floor, five steps and a courtyard, most of the Song Buildings of the Jingshi Records Academy are concentrated here, in the Jiaofang Division, the right Shao Dance Sikong Ming is drinking tea with Erlang's legs crossed, his eyelids drooping, and he said to the people standing in front of him: "Is there still no one in the Gao family?" ”

The man in front of him was about fifty years old, with two mouse's whiskers, wearing a soap shirt and a green scarf, and said with a smile: "My lord, the Gao family has been confiscated, and the whole family has been taken as slaves, how can anyone be willing to spend silver."

Sikong Ming snorted unhappily, there are different types of girls in the Teaching Workshop Division, such as songs, dances, and music, and the emperor's will does not explicitly order to receive guests, so the Teaching Workshop Division has the right to arrange what kind of profession this female can engage in.

If the Gao family is willing to spend a lot of money, although Miss Gao has made up her mind in this life, and if she becomes a family and has children in the future, she will be a prostitute for generations, but it is not necessarily a prostitute who sells herself. Sikong Ming thought that he could get a handful, but now that the Gao family is really pushing the wall down, no one is willing to support it anymore.

He stacked the tea bowls, and when he saw that the green hat Lehu was still standing in front of him, he couldn't help but stare at him, and shouted, "Why are you still stunned?" Go, ask a few people to wash and wash the eldest lady, and tonight we will hang up to pick up the guests."

The green hat rubbed his hands and laughed: "My lord, that girl's surname is strong, don't offend the guests, or give her buds first, this woman, once she has it, she will break the jar."

Sikong Ming laughed when he heard this, he scolded with a smile: "We haven't been in the sect for many years to have a woman with status, this Miss Wenxin's father is a medical officer, waiting for the emperor's imperial doctor, she herself is a goddess doctor, there are more people in line to taste her, you are not allowed to move, let it go, the price of the top is doubled, hehehehe"
