Return to Ming Dynasty as Prince Chapter 88: Four-sided enemies

Chapter 88 Making Enemies on All Sides

　　 Yang Ling was shot so sharply, he turned his head abruptly, and saw Zhu Houzhao standing behind him in a white dress and hat, Yang Ling oops, hurriedly put on his boots and jumped to the ground, just holding down the Zhengde emperor of Yuji He said on his shoulder: "Look at your appearance and you are very tired, so don't kneel anymore. I was annoyed by people kneeling today, and my knees were sore and sore."

　　 He stretched his lower waist, looking sad. Yang Ling was used casually around the prince who was approachable and had no sense of respect and inferiority. But now Zhu Houzhao is the emperor. When he saw the emperor, he didn't show courtesy. He was really a little worried, but Zhu Houzhao's hand was still on his shoulder, and he couldn't break away.

　　Yang Ling had to smile wryly: "The minister has just returned from inspecting the various palaces, the emperor, now you are the 95th Supreme, this name should also be changed."

　　Zhu Houzhao smiled bitterly and said: "I...I'm not used to it. Anyway, I'm not in front of Baiguan. You and I are just like in the Eastern Palace."

　　Yang Ling asked: "The emperor, didn't you stand for the emperor in the main hall of Palace of Heavenly Purity? Why did you come here alone?"

　　Zhu Houzhao waved his hand and said: "I'm so annoyed by those people, as if they were acting in a concert after discussing them, they would cry after a while, and I had to ask me to lead the pain, so I escaped by urinating. Up"

　　 He took a long breath, looked at the familiar furnishings in Dongnuan Pavilion with nostalgia, and sighed softly: "I miss my father, when I first stepped into this room, I felt like my father was still inside. , Writing memorials inside, and seeing me here, happily asked the waiter to bring candied dried fruits...".

　　 When he said this, tears filled his eyes and said: "When I was very young, my father held me. It was here. He taught me how to write and draw. Sometimes he reviewed the memorials and let me I practice calligraphy on the sidelines.

　　 I remember one time when he was showing respect, I took a pen and scribbled on the memorial, and when my father came back, in order to confess to the minister, I had to deliberately overturned the ink and stained the memorials. Courtier, just like this, the six subjects still went to a dozen times to blame the emperor.

　　Zhu Houzhao said in a daze: "At that time, the emperor lost his temper to me for the first time. He punished me to copy the "Sanzi Jing" thirty times. I only copied it twice and became impatient, so I tried Liu Jin and Zhang Yong. A literate **** helped me. They bit the bullet and copied it for me. I know my father must see it, but he still pretended to forgive me. Now thinking of my guilt, I really want my father to punish me again. Once, I sat next to him and copied the book to him carefully."

What 　　Zhu Houzhao said, I shed tears. Yang Ling was secretly moved by it. From ancient times to the present, father and son brothers have been in intrigue between father and son. "

　　 Zhu Houzhao said that the corners of his mouth curled up and said with a smile: "I knelt on the hall, and according to the reminder of the in-house attendant, when I should scent the incense, kowtow when I should kowtow, I can cry when I cry, and I don’t know this. I missed the first emperor or who it was played for. The noise made me dizzy. Some people were hypocritical and cried more sadly than anyone else. I was really impatient to keep it."

　　Yang Ling secretly said: "These pompous etiquettes are meant to be seen by others, so it's no wonder that this little emperor who despises etiquette can't bear it", he thought: "The emperor, you both miss the emperor and don't like the red tape. Don’t just copy the book by Bingzhu here this night and copy the "Three Character Classic" thirty times to comfort the spirit of the first emperor in the sky. Wouldn't this kind of mourning be better than three kneelings and nine knocks in the hall."

　　Zhu Houzhao was overjoyed when he heard the words, and praised: "That's right. I copied the copy of my father's punishment in the past. My father is alive in the sky. He will be very happy to see me sincerely regretting it. ".

　　 Zhu Houzhao is eagerly eager to sit behind the Long Shu case. Nowadays, the Longshu table is also covered with a layer of white silk. Yang Ling took out a roll of paper from the porcelain vase beside the case and laid it on the case, pressing it with a jade paperweight, and gently grinding the inkstone.

　　Zhu Houzhao picked up the pen, saw Yang Ling standing by the case, and said: "You can also take a chair and sit down, I know you must be much less patrolling the palace than I am."

　　 Seeing Yang Ling shook his head and refused, Zhu Houzhao said again: “Sit down, don’t be confined to courtesy, now my father is gone, you are the only person I can speak to you, since I first saw you , I feel that you are different from others. When you look at me, there is neither a sense of fear nor the flattering look of others. I like the feeling of ordinary people. Sit down and accompany me while grinding. Speak".

　　Yang Ling heard him say so, and seeing that there was no one else in the hall, he agreed and moved a chair to sit next to Zhengde. Zhengde carefully wrote the surnames of Baijia, Yang Ling studied and studied carefully, and Zhengde was really a good handwriting.

　　Zhu Houzhao four-character sentence, when he wrote "Feng Bao Shi Tang", he suddenly stopped. He looked at the Tang characters for a while, suddenly remembering something, and raised his head to Yang Ling and said: "By the way, I just remembered, Tang Is the girl okay in your house?"

　　Yang Ling saw him staring at Tangzi in a daze, and felt bad in his heart. At this time, listening to his questioning, I couldn’t help but slam in my heart. Zhengde hasn’t been asking him for a few days, and now it seems that I can’t hide it. Yang Ling had no choice but to bite the bullet and tell Zhengde the life and death of Lieutenant Bao and Tang Yixian.

　　Zhengde After hearing this, he looked at the Tang character without speaking for a long time, his eyes were confused, and he looked as if something was missing. Yang Ling remembered that day when he led the soldiers to find the blood-stained knife handle on the edge of the cliff, and remembered the girl with a sweet smile that he met at the Shihua Pavilion at the beginning, and felt sad for a while, and was speechless. When the son came, the two of them sat there foolishly, only to hear the crackling of lanterns.

　　Zhu Houzhao is a 15-year-old boy. The faint affection and affection for Tang Yixian when he first met is not so deep that he can't be separated. But after all, this is the first girl he likes. Today, Hongzhi Emperor died. His mood was already extremely sad. Hearing the news again, he felt even more disappointed.

　　 He didn't turn his anger on Yang Ling. After thinking about it for a long time, a cold murderous aura suddenly appeared on Zhu Houzhao's face, and he sneered and said: "Girl Tang was seriously injured and fell off the cliff! Bao Jinchen... Liu Shiyong... .. Bao, full, loyal, good, very good, I remember "....... ".

　　 Zhu Houzhao held the pen tightly, and slammed down, and the redwood wolf specially supplied by Hengshuihou shop broke in half with a crack. At this moment, the hall door slammed into a group of people Then, an old hoarse voice said loudly: "The emperor...you...you are bold!"

　　Yang Ling was shocked, who would dare to scold the emperor so boldly? He jumped up and looked out. He saw eight or nine ministers dressed in filial attire standing in front of him. Three well-known scholars of Liu Jian, Xie Qian, and Li Dongyang were also included. The old man who was the first to be slammed was white. The beard and old-fashioned face were flushed red, glaring at him.

　　Yang Ling, it was just then that he was sitting side by side with Zhengde. The Zhu Houzhao, who doesn’t talk about the inferiority, doesn’t care, but what do these courtiers think? Zhengde raised his head and saw Wang Qiong's expression, and said, "Wang Shangshu, why should I be upset, it's me... I told him to sit back and talk back. The first emperor respects all the veterans. When the private garden plays right, he will wait at the cafe." , Can't I be sympathetic to the courtiers?"

　　 All the ministers of the Six Departments and Jiuqing saw that Yang Ling was so overwhelming that they sat shoulder to shoulder with the emperor. Everyone was horrified and angry. Although Zhu Houzhao raised the first emperor to block their mouths, how could Yang Ling and Hongji Rhenish veterans are more senior than senior officials, and even though those veterans have received seats, no one dares to sit shoulder to shoulder with Hongzhi.

　　Wang Qiong is the most important ethics in his life, and still said angrily: "The emperor gave a seat, that is the emperor's kindness, but sitting side by side with the emperor as a courtier is really no father and no ruler, contrary to principles, and really beasts! "

　　How come I become a beast if I don’t have two sentences? Yang Ling sounded inexplicably, and was a little annoyed in his heart, but seeing this old man with white hair and old enough to be his grandfather, he had to suppress the fire and endure it.

　　Zhengde Emperor said impatiently: "Wang Shangshu, what on earth do you want to see me?"

　　 His question reminded Wang Qiong. Wang Shangshu gave Yang Ling a fierce look, then turned to Zhengde and said: "The emperor, the old minister asks the emperor to move up the Palace of Heavenly Purity main hall as the guard of your majesty."

　　Zhengde frowned and said: "The people in the main hall of Palace of Heavenly Purity are so noisy, I am really impatient. The first emperor taught me to read and write here in the past years. I want to silently write articles here to mourn the first emperor. ".

When Wang Qiong heard this, he changed his color and said in a panic: "The emperor, the son of man is filial, regardless of the emperor and the common people, all should do their best. The emperor will be the emperor and the emperor will lead the civil and military officials to guard the spirit of the emperor. This is the legacy of the saint and the family of the ancestors. How can the law be abolished? The emperor lived here to mourn the first emperor. Although it is a good intention, but it is not in harmony with the etiquette. The minister asked the emperor to go to Palace of Heavenly Purity to keep the spirit immediately, and the queen mother and the public officials are waiting for the emperor."

　　 Zhengde endures the air: "I mourn the first emperor, I have my own ideas, you wait and go down first."

　　Wang Qiong got up furiously, and the old-fashioned man stepped forward and said: "The emperor is the emperor, and every word and deed is the example of the people of the world. How can you change the etiquette system?"

　　 He saw the words written by Zhengde at a glance. Although he looked back, he still recognized the "Hundred Family Names", and his heart became even more angry. He pointed to the ink-drenched paper and said: "This text and mourning the first emperor How does it matter?"

　　 As soon as it involved the saint rites, Wang Qiong refused to compromise with Zhengde, and his tone immediately became aggressive. He is the official book of the Ministry of Etiquette and the presiding officer of Hongzhi Da Lian’s funeral. On these issues, the three academicians such as Liu Jian have to listen to him. Therefore, the Liubu Jiuqing standing next to him does not say a word, but his face is expressionless. Obviously share the same hatred with him.

　　Yang Ling Seeing the veteran being aggressive, Zhengde was very embarrassed. Seeing that he was going to be childish again, he wanted to turn around for them. hurriedly said: "Wang Da, the emperor missed the emperor, so he came to the warm pavilion where the emperor lived. Thinking of people is not because of the filial piety of the Son of Man. It is better for adults to return to the hall first, and after the emperor finishes writing this article, he will go to the hall to keep the spirit."

　　Wang Qiong heard this rebellious and rebellious slander of the emperor, and couldn't help furious. He grabbed the inkstone on the table and threw it at Yang Ling, and shouted angrily: "You renchen thief, sit with the emperor first. The Supreme Lord, now as a courtier, I don’t try my best to dissuade the emperor, and I still want to talk about slander. When is it your turn here to tell me?"

　　Wang Shangshu's grasping, along with the piece of paper, flew up and scratched on Zhengde's face. The ink that had not dried out immediately left two black marks on Zhengde's face, and Yang Ling flashed aside. The inkstone slammed on the temple pillar and broke into pieces, and the juice splashed and fell to the ground.

　　Zhengde Emperor, seeing Wang Qiong keep talking about the monarchs, fathers and sons, but in front of his own emperor, he is so arrogant. By maintaining the etiquette of the monarchs, the domineering monarchs can not help but tremble with anger.

　　 Hongzhi treats his courtiers very generously and indulgently. He was lonely and weak since he was a child. After a long time in politics, these veterans are also used to speaking generously in front of him as long as they occupy a word of truth. It was Zhiyan who committed the crime, not to mention facing the little emperor Zhengde now?

　　Xie Qian, seeing Zhengde Emperor's face turned blue, he seemed to be furious, and quickly fell to his knees and said: "Please the emperor abide by the etiquette legacy, and immediately move Palace of Heavenly Purity."

　　This time he knelt, the other courtiers all knelt down and said in unison: "Please move the emperor immediately!"

　　 Six Jiuqing knelt and drove, and the momentum suppressed Zhengde for a while. He forcibly resisted his anger and had to say: "All the Qings are flat, I...I will go."

　　Liu Jian saw him subdued, and secretly relieved. Unexpectedly, Zhengde immediately pointed to Wang Qiong, and asked: "Wang Shangshu, what do you say about the monarchs, fathers and sons, is it impolite to be so arrogant and domineering in front of me?" /

　　 Wang Qiong was startled and saw the ink marks on Zhengde’s face. He also felt that he was too Meng Lang, and he had lost his courtiers. He knelt down and said: "The minister will die, he was indignant for a while, he lost his position as a courtier in front of the emperor. Please be punished by the emperor."

　　Zhengde sneered and said: "It's not only a loss of manners, this ink has been photographed on my face, isn't it a sin of disrespect?"

　　 Wang Qiong straightened his neck and kowped his head, proudly said: "The minister is guilty, and I am willing to be punished by the emperor. As long as the emperor immediately moves to Palace of Heavenly Purity, the minister will die!"

　　Zhengde Emperor said loudly: "Okay, simply! You can confess your guilt, Yang Ling, immediately grab Wang Qiong and throw it into prison!"

　　 The ministers knelt down and pleaded: "The emperor forgive the sins, Wang Shangshu is loyal, and he said nothing, please forgive me."

　　Yang Ling also persuaded: "How can you imprison the minister of the court on the big day of the emperor's reign? Please pardon the Wang Da people."

　　Wang Qiong listened to a sneer and said: "Shut up, you minister, the old minister is disrespectful to the emperor, and you deserve to be punished by the emperor. If you are pampered and arrogant, if you do not observe the courtesy of your ministers, you will be punished severely sooner or later!"

　　Zhengde became angry after hearing it. He blushed and pointed at Yang Ling angrily: "Aren't you doing my will?"

　　Yang Ling saw him very angry, and did not dare to continue to persuade him, so he had to recruit the guards and put Wang Qiong down. Zhengde just snorted, ignoring the officials, and flung his sleeves and walked out of the room.

　　The ministers got up one after another, looking at Yang Ling, with a look of contempt and anger.

　　Li Dongyang looked at Yang Ling and thought to himself: "When this person was a little attendant, he dared to expose the illegal activities of his relatives and officials to the first emperor. He should be a loyal and loyal minister. Why is the emperor Meng Lang incompetent? As a close minister of the emperor’s favor, he did not say anything to persuade him but indulged him? If he greets the power and welcomes the emperor, his behavior of resisting the imperial decree for his wife's willingness to behead his head is not like ~IndoMTL.com~This person in the end What are you thinking about?"

　　He deliberately got up slowly and landed at the back. When all the officials were gone, he said to Yang Ling profoundly and authentically: "Officials should practice moral integrity, be diligent and love the people, and always reflect on their own faults. Well, you should be loyal to the emperor and serve the country, and don't be arrogant and self-willed.

　　 Yang Ling reluctantly said: "Master Li, the subordinate dare to charm you? Alas! Now the emperor is in a fit of anger, and when he looks back and finds the opportunity, the subordinate will definitely speak for Wang Da. Adults don’t have to worry, could it be that the adults have forgotten the university? Did the Shijin Palace chase Shouning Hou with a hammer? With this precedent, what kind of sin would Wang Shangshu's bedroom capture the inkstone and throw Yangshen?"

　　Li Dongyang heard him talk about the trouble with the Shouning Hou in the Golden Palace, he couldn't help but smiled, staring at him deeply and said: "This is the best, the young man has aspirations, and he should be more cautious and humble, loyal to the king and serve the country. Don’t put yourself in the first class of Shouninghou."

　　 Li Dongyang said, turned and left, Yang Ling looked at his back, remembering that the six Jiuqing adults looked at their sad expressions, and couldn’t help but laughed bitterly: “Today’s death of Hongzhi Emperor is a fleeting disadvantage for me, first offended. I have offended my relatives, and now I have offended the cabinet. Except for the Zhengde emperor, I am afraid that I have made enemies everywhere and are in danger!"

　　Yang Ling was thinking, a silhouette flashed at the door, and a silhouette flashed in. As soon as he entered the door, he smiled flatly at him: "Master Yang is a good man, Wang Qiong, this old man, is leaning on the old man and gesticulating everywhere. Our family serves the East Palace. At the time, he not only handed over to the emperor once and said that our man induced the prince to play, which caused our family, Zhang Yong, Dayong, and others to be repeatedly reprimanded by the emperor. Now he is put in prison. This is really happy!"

　　Yang Ling took a closer look, the person standing in front of him was full of spring breeze, it was Liu Jin.
