Return to Ming Dynasty as Prince Chapter 101: Shangyu Kanling Mausoleum

Chapter 0101 on the encyclical survey tombs

At the Golden Temple, the Zhengde pendulum emperor sat on the dragon chair in a daze. At this time, Caishikou should be cut and asked, right? Thinking of this, Zhengde couldn't help feeling irritated.

　　 The little emperor is young and does not have so many imperial consciences. He simply cannot accept the betrayal of Yang Ling simply emotionally. When he heard that Yang Ling also participated in the incident, he concealed the news that his most respected father had an accident, Zhengde Can't wait to personally kill the courtier he had pushed his heart to.

　　 But hate is one thing. I remembered that he was a prince and an emperor. He was always alone until Yang Ling appeared. This person saw that he did not have the awe and flattery that is often seen on other people’s faces, but he really cared about him. He always regarded Yang Ling as a friend, but his only friend betrayed him. Zhengde thought of this, Can't help but sigh.

　　 Yu Shi Lu Zhongkun saw that the emperor hadn't listened to him seriously, so he raised his voice and said loudly, "The emperor."

　　 "Huh? What?" Zhengde was stunned for a moment, then withdrew the gaze looking at nothingness, and looked at this censor who Luo Liluo talked for a long time and didn't know what to say in surprise.

　　 Lu Zhongkun endured his anger, and said: "Today the emperor has a great funeral, not long before Xiaoxiang, at the beginning of the emperor’s epoch, he is happy to have fun, early morning and late, noon and late evening, impermanence in daily life, sleeplessness, It was a waste of energy and hindered political affairs. This is not what Mingjun did. The minister heard the heavy rain and thunder last night, shattering Fengtian Temple's owl kisses and Taimiao ridge beasts, and more than 100 trees in Beijing were broken. This day, the disaster has changed.

　　Zhengde faintly said: "I see, I have checked the luck with the Qintian Supervisor."

　　 Lu Zhongkun said: "The emperor, according to the old rule of the previous dynasty, when the world changes drastically, the emperor should reduce food and drink, and make a self-examination. The emperor should order the civil and military officials to give advice and give advice."

　　Zhengde Emperor raised his eyebrows, and a burst of anger surged in his heart: "It's really unreasonable. The wind and heavy rain broke a few trees, and the thunder and lightning shattered a few stone beasts on the eaves of the temple. Coming up from my head, what did Mingjun do! Could it be that I am a fainted gentleman?"

　　 But as a supervisor, the speaker is innocent. Even if it is his old man, the model emperor Hongji has been said to be extremely unbearable when he was played by Yushi. Zhengde suppressed the fire and said: "Then go down Edict, let Baiguan enter the admonishment!"

　　Zhengde coughed and said, "Everyone, Aiqing, now the rebellious minister who deceived Yongquan from the imperial mausoleum has been escorted to the execution ground. It is imperative for the emperor to move the mausoleum. Some materials can be demolished from the old site to rebuild the new one. Mausoleum is estimated to cost about three million taels. I would like to levy a little tax. What suggestions do you Aiqing have?"

　　 "It really came!" The three academics couldn't help but winked at each other. Yesterday, after Zhengde retired from the noon dynasty, Xu Guanjin reported the impunity's confession, and Zhengde Emperor set off the imperial table in a rage, yelling that the group of rebellious officials and criminals should be sentenced immediately. When the three academicians heard the news, they knew that the emperor’s move to the tomb was a foregone conclusion, but where did this huge cost come from?

　　 Others don’t know that much. They still don’t know how hard Great Ming has been financially due to the continuous natural disasters in the past few years? As for Wang Qiong, Xu Guan, Hong Zhong, etc., because of the support of the Great Ming national movement, the position of power is bound to rise again, directly threatening their status, but it is second.

　　 Helplessly, Li Dongyang bit the bullet and went out and said: "The emperor, the imperial court earns four million taels per year, which is worth paying for. The first emperor’s mausoleum used three quarters of it. The household department has exhausted its accumulated wealth. If the emperor moves Mausoleum, it is bound to increase taxes. The people are unbearable."

　　Zhengde heard this and said angrily: "Great Ming has hundreds of millions of people, and each of them is levied a tax. Why is it so alarming?"

　　Li Dongyang hurriedly said: "The emperor calms down his anger, but the emperor does not know it. In recent years, natural disasters have been frequent, floods in Hebei, Henan, droughts and droughts in Gansu and Shaanxi, even the price of Jiangnan rice is already extremely expensive. This has caused thieves to run rampant everywhere. The people are barely able to tide over the difficulties by benevolence, raising the people with thin taxes and loving them, but the people in poor places have barely been able to eat one meal a day. If taxes are increased again, it may provoke uprisings."

　　Li Dongyang, for fear that Zhengde would not listen to dissuasion, the sweat was dripping from anxiousness. If it hadn’t been for Great Ming at that time, he hadn’t heard of the fable: "The last straw that crushes the camel". He would also learn from Jiao Fang to make a curve. Admonished.

　　Xie Qian immediately went out and said: "The emperor, now Miao Yi continues to make chaos and harm the rear. Tatar is looking forward to my Great Ming because of the first emperor's prosperous action. The domestic waste, the frequent floods and droughts, and the lack of side reserves, really cannot add trouble. Up."

　　Zhengde "slapped" the table and said angrily: "Tailing is not good, do you want to let the first emperor be buried there? Or my Great Ming, the dignified emperor, must stop the coffin for ten years and not enter the earth for safety, waiting for the people Rest and rejuvenate?"

　　 Hironuma is very prestigious among the courtiers. Zhengde is based on the consideration of the dignity of the emperor and the filial piety of the son of man. Although there are many of the courtiers who oppose tax increases, they are speechless for a while.

His Royal Highness 　　 was silent for a while, and Liu Jian proudly went out to play and said: "The minister risked his death to speak out, the emperor's palace is meticulous, can you know that the hut and the wood house are inevitable in wind and rain? The emperor knows that the prince is hungry and hungry. The first emperor gathered to return to the mausoleum, and the courtesy was customized. It was not the daring of his subordinates to discuss it lightly. However, there are priorities. Mencius said:'The people are the precious, the emperor is the light, the society is the country and the country is the most important.', Great Ming holds the country It is to comply with the destiny, and the destiny is the people. Great Ming conforms to the destiny. How cautious is the feng shui technique. Tai Ling was built with the capital of the country, how can it be abolished lightly? The first emperor loves the people and believes that the first emperor has spirit in the sky and will also respect the people. Don’t pay attention to Feng Shui, your Majesty Fufu will think twice."

After Liu Jian finished talking about lying down on the ground, although his remarks were very polite, in fact it was nothing more than saying that the people are the roots of the Jiangshan community. Feng Shui is false and untrue. As for the first emperor, it is better to be buried in Tai Ling, don’t It's so cheap.

　　 All the military officials above the Golden Temple held their breath. They had seen the moody temperament of this little emperor. If he was angry and asked someone to drag the scholar Liu from his court, this old man Wasn't he beaten to death at a young age?

　　Wang Qiong, Xu Guan and others have deliberately argued for Zhengde, but the public rumors about imperial tax increases have been circulated, and the slander of several of them has been named, and the reputation of several people has plummeted. Wouldn't it be true at this time, so I didn't dare to step forward and speak up.

　　Zhengde looked at it for a long time, and saw that no one of the civil and military officials came forward to agree with him, and he was actually amused: these bird ministers. Yesterday, I was still pulling my neck and shouting that it would affect the fortune of the country and harm the future. The three scholars are now carrying out the people, but there is no one to help me. Are you loyal or cherish your feathers?

　　 Zhengde pressed the imperial case with both hands, Huo Di stood up, finger Liu Jian was about to speak, suddenly the general standing in the hall rushed in, kneeling and shouting: "Enjoy the emperor, the criminal minister Hong Zhongfei will report. The prisoner. Yang Ling’s wife, Han, rushed to the court and covered the prisoner Yang Ling's head with the pen and ink of the first emperor. Hong Zhong didn’t dare to execute the punishment for fear of damaging the emperor’s relics. I implore the emperor to decide!"

　　 Hundred officials buzzed and talked about it. Perhaps the daily pilgrimage was too boring. Listening to the anecdote of Yang Ling’s wife holding an emperor’s calligraphy to save her husband, the civil and military officials seemed to have taken stimulants.

　　 Liu Jian fell on the ground and couldn't help being overjoyed. He said boldly, but in fact he was also very worried. With this news, he would be fine with Zhengde's. Liu Jian sighed inwardly, raised his sleeve and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

　　Zhengde was stunned there, and murmured for a while: "You said that the wife of the young Yang Ling broke into the law field? She held the handwriting of the father when the father gave the Yang Family stuff and what did he write?" /

　　 He muttered to himself, his voice was so small that only the little wife before the case could monitor it. But before Zhengde signaled, he didn't dare to speak for him loudly. Zhengde was stunned for a while, and slowly started to pace on the imperial steps. The officials all watched him move, and saw Zhengde gnashing his teeth and gnashing his teeth for a while. After a while, he yelled: "Tell the imperial horse. Supervisor Zhang Yong went to ask questions. Take back the first emperor's handwritten script to show me, retreat!"

　　Caishikou, Hong Zhong was pacing around on the death row in despair. The blazing sun was in the sky, so he couldn't notice his face full of sweat. Although what Youniang took was not the imperial decree, the calligraphy and painting had nothing to do with the case, but it was the first emperor's handwriting. He couldn't grab it, or damage it, so he had to freeze here.

　　 Huerta suddenly shouted: "Han, you want to be careful. It is a crime of decapitation to forcibly enter the court to obstruct the execution. Your husband Yang Ling is a crime of **** and deceives the king. He is an unpardonable wicked person. , The emperor only killed him is an extra-legal favor. You are young, don't you spare your life?"

　　Han Youniang Holding up the calligraphy and painting, her hands were sore, she raised her head and squinted Hong Zhong and said: "You are not a good person!"

　　"What?" Hong Zhong was amazed and said angrily: "Yang Hanshi, do you dare to slander the imperial official?"

　　Han Youniang said: "My husband is an indomitable man, a good official for the country and the people. If you say that my husband is not a good person, you must not be a good person."

　　 Most of the people who turned to watch are the small people of Shengdou, who are struggling to make a living by setting up stalls and selling goods. Because of the tax increase, they hate Hong Zhong and the others. When they heard the words of Han Youniang, they immediately cheered in unison. He squeezed into the crowd and took the opportunity to scold him, making Hong Zhong's face blue and red with anger.

　　 He flicked his robe sleeves angrily: "It's hard to raise a villain and a woman, and the old man doesn't care about you!"

　　 Hong Zhong's mouth was stunned. At this moment, as soon as he rode a fast horse to the execution ground, he immediately dressed as a palace eunuch. The fast horse galloped to the front of the stage from the passage separated by two straw ropes, and the man flew off his horse. The skill is actually quite vigorous.

　　Yang Ling knows that Zhengde has a sister-like affection for Youniang. I expected that Zhengde would not be angry with her because of his own affairs. No matter what, if Zhengde's feelings for the emperor met the gift, he would forgive her. , But now that she has made trouble in the court, Yang Ling can't guess how Zhengde's's impulsive character will deal with it.

　　 At this time, when he saw the palace galloping, his heart could not help but lifted up. Han Youniang also opened his eyes and looked nervously at the visitor. There was no sound from all around, Zhang Yong flew off the horse and kicked off. In the upper half of the high ground guillotine, Yang Ling saw him, and couldn't help calling: "Daddy Zhang".

　　 Zhang Yong approached, but didn't talk to Yang Ling. He got close and pretentiously took a good look at the painting. He also knelt on the ground and paid respectful respect. Hong Zhong and Cheng Wenyi stared at him as he slowly finished his salute. Hong Zhong couldn't help but ask: "This father-in-law, what is the emperor's order?"

　　Zhang Yong has now entered the Imperial Horse Supervisor, and is in charge of Zuo Xiangma. It is one of the four chiefs of Miao Kui, but it has not yet entered the West Factory of Miao Kui. But the status and status have been very different from the past. Before Hong Shang wrote, he also had a bit of confidence. Hearing Hong Zhong's number one, Zhang Yong smiled slightly and said: "My lord, stay safe, our family will ask Yang Hanshi to ask questions."

　　 After he took a step forward, he kindly said to Han Youniang: "Yang Hanshi, the emperor asks you, Yang Ling criminals deceive the king and should be punished, what do you want to do if you are a female squad rushing into the law court?"

　　Han Youniang anti-voicing: "My husband is a trick, I ask the emperor to send it back for review."

　　 Zhang Yong nodded and said: "I see. You wait, the calligraphy and painting of Emperor Xiandi, our family will go back to the palace to show the emperor, Yang Hanshi, please give me the calligraphy and painting."

　　Han Youniang relies on this calligraphy and painting to temporarily protect husband. After hearing Zhang Yong's words, I couldn't help but hesitate. Zhang Yong laughed and said: "Yang Hanshi, our family has done the emperor's will. Would you still criticize you for failing?"

　　 Yang Ling said to Youniang: "Youniang, hand over the Xiandi Danqing Calligraphy to Father Zhang, no doubt."

　　Han Youniang listened, and then raised both hands, respectfully offering the calligraphy and painting, Zhang Yong carefully took the framed calligraphy and painting, rolled it up diagonally in his arms. Turning his head to the Shangshu Hong Zhong of the Criminal Ministry, said: "Master Hong, the emperor has spoken to suspend execution and wait for orders in the court!"

　　 Talking about Zhang Yong, he turned and walked off the stage and turned on his horse, flying away.

　　 In the Hall of Preservation, Zhengde held the painting and said: "The forest is a hundred feet long pine, although it is a lot of trees, the building used is the material of the beam." Zhengde slammed the table with hatred and said: "Father, you think Yang Ling is too small, and you have high hopes for him, but is the big crime he committed now, is it still Xiaoxiao Leike?"

　　Zhang Yong I swept the corner of my eyes. Observing his expression carefully, he said: "The emperor, the slave is dull and can't figure it out. The emperor has a lot of trust in Yang Ling. This person Yang Ling has a bright future. Why did he go to the mausoleum for only a few days before committing it foolishly. Such a heinous crime? The slave hasn't read a few books, but he also knows that if a person commits a crime, it must be profitable. If he deceives the monarch, then there should be a heavy profit. What does Yang Ling plot?"

　　 Zhengde looked at him, turning his head to look at him and said: "Lao Zhang, if you have something to say, don’t talk to me, you mean Yang Ling has no reason to deceive you?"

　　Zhang Yong laughed and said: "The old slave dare not say it, but logically speaking, even if the mausoleum project is profitable, there is no greater benefit in not reporting the matter. How Yang Ling is so stupid, the old slave can't figure it out. "

　　Zhengde snorted heavily: "There were witnesses on the mausoleum who testified personally, and other insiders died strangely. Isn't that enough to prove? Not to mention they confessed."

　　 Zhang Yong smiled flatteringly: "Yes, yes, so the old slave said that he was dull. Speaking of which, the Yang Ling people really didn't see the coffin and didn't cry. They were so alive that they returned to Beijing and refused to plead guilty and serve their sentence. Punishment is recruited, isn't this cheap?"

　　Zhengde heard that he was still saying that Yang Ling was beaten as a move. He turned his head and glanced at him. Looking back, he looked at the calligraphy and paintings of his father for a long time, and he couldn't help remembering what he said when his father held his hand. : "Emperor, there are a group of veterans in the imperial court, but you can't assist Emperor I. Yang Ling is a man of love and righteousness, and he has a unique insight for the political, political, and military. You may be able to help you. Where's the minister."

When Zhengde thought of it, his father’s voice and smile seemed to be right in front of him, and he couldn’t help feeling sad. He hesitated for a while before he said: “It’s a pity that the Emperor’s Mausoleum Jinjing can’t move easily. Otherwise, I really want to send someone to check it out and see if Yang Ling Really deceived me."

　　Zhang Yong heard hurriedly said: "The emperor, originally Tailing was not easy to move the ground, but now that the emperor wants to move the tomb, it is abandoned there. It doesn't matter if it is completely opened. The emperor is not as good. Send someone to see, if the evidence is conclusive, no one can say anything between the ruling and the opposition. If there is no problem, since the Feng Shui has never been broken, then it is just a groundbreaking. Maybe you can think of some ways to make up for it, and you can still be an imperial mausoleum. The emperor in the court doesn’t have to embarrass all officials."

　　Zhengde suddenly slapped his forehead and exclaimed: "Exactly, I have always remembered that I can’t move there, but I forgot that this time is different from the past, Zhang Yong, hurry up and deliver the decree, Yang Ling waits and waits for you Prison, I will send someone to inspect Tailing."

　　Zhengde was very happy to say that today, the three veterans of Gu Ming expressed their opposition in unison, saying that the tax increase was so serious. Zhengde really did not have the courage to suppress the three males and force the decree. Besides, after seeing the father’s handwriting, and After listening to Zhang Yong, he also had doubts in his heart. If it is exactly what Zhang Yong said, wouldn't everyone be happy?

　　 "The old slave obeys the order!" Zhang Yong responded with a grin and turned and hurriedly left. As soon as he walked to the door, he saw Liu Jian, Xie Qian, Xu Guan, Jiao Fang, Liu Yu, Yang Lin and other ministers approaching the Baohe Hall. , Zhang Yong was anxious to deliver the decree, but ignored it and left in a hurry.

　　Li Dongyang, Xie Guan came here for taxation. Some words are inconvenient to speak out in the court. I want to have a good theory with the emperor in the apse. As for Xu Guan and others, they came to persuade the emperor to increase taxes, but they thought of a compromise, that is, taxation varies from place to place. The poor land levies less, and the rich land has more land. As a result, the rich land tax this year To double it, the poor land will only add 30%. Although the same complaints will only cause the rich land to become poorer and the poorer land poorer, this method is better than the national equalization.

　　Unexpectedly, a few people have just entered the temple, and Zhengde has already said cheerfully: "All the Aiqings are here well, I will send someone to Tailing for inspection to find out whether Yang Ling and others have deceived the emperor. Who do you think should be sent? "

　　 The little emperor was so fanciful, he often put aside his thoughts when he was half done. These ministers have long been used to it. Although these veterans still can't keep up with the jumping thinking of Zhengde's, they can deal with them calmly and adapt to changes.

　　Li Dongyang startled and said immediately: "The minister is willing to go to Tailing."

　　 Xu Guan knew that he was opposed to tax increases. Wang Qiong said that he had protected Yang Ling in front of Hongzhi Emperor. This old guy didn’t believe in Feng Shui, and he might excuse Yang Ling privately, so he immediately objected: “Not appropriate , Dignified as a bachelor of the court, should you be an investigator?"

　　Xie Qian retorted: "Xu Shangshu’s remarks are not correct. Even if we don’t talk about Feng Shui, the tax increase is really related to the fortune of the country. What a big matter is this? The veteran should also ask the emperor to do it. ."

　　 Xu Guan is the person who reported the water seepage case of the imperial mausoleum. In order to avoid suspicion, he certainly could not inspect the imperial mausoleum. He was anxious and said hurriedly: "If this is the case, this matter should be more cautious. It is appropriate to choose courtiers who have no interest in this case."

　　Jiao Fang asked: "Then who should go according to Xu Shangshu?"

　　 Xu Guan groaned slightly, and said, "If that's not the case, choose a honorable person, a courtier, and a Hanlin, and the three will go together. Take back the soil and compare it with the Jinjing soil sealed by the Ministry of Rites. It is clear at a glance. Besides, the three of them are different, and they restrain each other's supervision, which is also fair."

　　 He was convinced that Jin Jing had already been used for hands and feet, so he was not afraid. One of the three recommended was a courtier, one was a courtier who only had fame and wealth but no real power, and the other was an alternate officer. It is naturally the most appropriate if it is not involved in government affairs.

　　Yang Lin laughed and said: "In this case, the minister elected Zhu Gang as the country's guru, and the country's gong is old and virtuous, fair and unselfish. He is both a minister of honor and a relative of the country, and he is the best candidate."

　　 Emperor Xianzong once considered the daughter of Cheng Guo Gong as a concubine, so Yang Lin said this.

　　 Jiao Fang is quite fond of Yang Ling, and it is his deadly enmity Wang Qiong who wants to fix Yang Ling, so he naturally favors Yang Ling. However, Jiao Fang did not dare to recommend himself to take risks. He suddenly remembered that when Yang Ling resisted the decree and was waiting for participation, there was an example of a rush to take the exam and wrote a beautiful article to support him. The Minister of Korea and China did not know much about this, but Jiao Fang is best collected. Anecdotes in the market are very well known.

　　Jiao Fang thought to myself: This actor must have some affection with Yang Ling~IndoMTL.com~ That actor has now entered the Imperial Academy, although he may not be willing to give up his life for Yang Ling, but it would be cheaper if he had it during the inspection of Emperor Jinjing. Where there is ambiguity, he will certainly give Yang Ling convenience.

　　Jiao Fang thinks of this hurriedly said: "Chen Jucun Yan Song, this person is a new scholar of this year and has been selected as a custody scholar of the Imperial Academy. This person is outstanding in humanity, and he is also a new scholar and the first. He has never been involved in the court and can be used as an imperial servant. "

　　Zhengde nodded and said: "Okay, these two people are set, then who will go among the courtiers?"

　　 Everyone looked at each other, and was silent for a while. This case has become a martial arts field where the six or even three gongs compete with each other after the new emperor ascended the throne and redistribute power. As long as they are mixed in, they will definitely offend one party. Who is willing to answer indiscriminately?

　　Zhengde Seeing that no one answered, they looked at everyone one by one. The Ministry of Rites, Ministry of Industry, Ministry of Criminal Affairs, and these yamen were all involved in the case and were unavailable. Zhengde shook his head. He suddenly saw Chen Hongmo, the servant of the Ministry of War, and he couldn't help but said: "The Ministry of War has nothing to do with this case. Let Liu Qing go to the Minister of War."

　　Chen Hongmo was taken aback when he heard that this offensive mission made him quit. Chen Hongmo hurriedly said: "The minister thanked the emperor for his favor, but the minister did not dare to conceal it. The Qin Tianjian doctor Hua Fu is a relative of Weichen, and this case involves both At the Qin Tianjian, the minister should avoid suspicion."

　　 Seeing Zhengde’s expression of displeasure, he hurriedly said: “However, there is only one minister, who is also an official of the Ministry of War. He is usually very stable and has nothing to do with this case, but the official position is a little humble.”

　　 Zhengde said impatiently: "I want to send someone, just want to find someone who has nothing to do with this case to help me see it, it doesn’t matter how big or small the official position is, who are you talking about?"

　　Chen Hongmo hurriedly said: "Wang Shouren, the chief of the Ministry of War, this person is known as a virtuous person and he can hold a heavy responsibility!"
