Return to Ming Dynasty as Prince Chapter 75: Environment and power are applied
Emperor Hongzhi was a bit afraid of his wife. Although he was not confused about major events, he was always favoring the queen. At this time, seeing her furious, he couldn't help but startled. Empress Zhang glared at Li Dongyang, new and old hatreds surged into her heart, her pretty eyes burst into flames.
In the past, they couldn't give birth to a prince, so these people wrote letters all day long asking the emperor to accept his concubine. Yesterday, Li Dongyang played an elder brother and put him in jail. Today, he dared to face his own accusations through the Yang Ling incident. Is it worth it?
Empress Zhang said coldly: "The emperor chooses the best, and the first is virtue. The wife of Yang Ling is suffering from serious illness, and her life is at stake. At this time, if Yang Ling accepts the imperial decree, abandon his wife and go to face the king. , What about it?
That's utter loss of conscience, the world is intolerable! Master of Heaven and Earth? Hmph, you also know the Master of Heaven and Earth! Would a person be a loyal, filial and benevolent gentleman if he does not cultivate virtue, does not respect heaven and earth, and does not emphasize affection? At that time, did he face the king in awe of the king or greedy for glory and wealth? "
Empress Zhang couldn’t help but glared at her baby brother. This little brother was really confused. These scholars were used to innuendo tricks. He couldn't even spot them, and even followed up.
Empress Zhang's conversation changed, and she said softly to Hongzhi Emperor: "Your Majesty, the concubines know that your Majesty is angry with Yang Ling, but this also shows that your majesty has a bright eye like a torch to recognize talents. Since ancient times, wise How many of the ministers have not angered the face of the world? Yang Ling is not greedy for power or profit, and values love and righteousness. It is quite like an ancient sage.
When Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty was in the past, didn't Song Hong also used the sacred meaning of "the wife of the chaff will not go down"? Tang Taizong Shifang Xuanling’s wife refused the order in court. Neither of these two ancient Ming princes condemned the courtiers. It can be seen that only when the holy monarch comes to the world can such wise ministers appear.
Li Dongyang shifted his sore legs and smashed his mouth, as if he was savoring: "Well, I like to hear the empress empress. It seems that women still have to read, or else it’s not a good idea. Come out of this."
Zhang Yanling was glared at by her sister, and she was a little confused for a while, until then she understood: "Oh, dare to feel that these old guys are cursing bald men in front of the monk, and secretly persuade the emperor not to favor the palace, hey, these The scholar is really crooked."
figured this out, Zhang Yanling immediately said with her throat: "The emperor, the empress is right, Yang Ling should not be killed!"
Hongji was moved by what the Queen said. It makes sense to think about what the Queen said. Yang Ling really wants to abandon his wife's life and death in disregard of the upper court. Would such a person dare to use him in the future? ".
He was pondering, and he heard the uncle Guo yell, and he couldn't help but say in a strange way: "Isn't Jianchang Hou suggesting that he should be sentenced to the public? Why shouldn't he be killed?"
Jian Changhou's face blushed, and he said: "This...this..., Weichen also just figured out that there are priorities, of course, the emperor's affairs are heavy and the family affairs are light. But Mr. Mian is not in a hurry, but saving lives cannot be delayed, this...".
Liu Jian I couldn’t help it hard to hear what he said, so she interrupted and said: “The empress is right. The emperor is the prince of benevolence. Only virtuous ministers can take effect. Yang Ling is really your majesty. The merits of enlightenment are not good."
Thousands of wear, no flattering, Hongzhi Emperor knows the thoughts of this veteran, but still can’t help laughing, he sits back to the case, thinks for a moment, and laughs: “Get up, get up, get up This Yang Ling disturbance has disturbed the interest of me and you Aiqing, come, continue drinking, Yang Ling...just put it aside and discuss it tomorrow."
The emperor wants to put aside the discussion again, which is equivalent to putting a weather vane larger than the palace gate in front of the courtiers. As long as it is not blind, who can't understand? If this person is not arrested immediately, he will discuss it another day. Is it possible to hold Jinxian to grab him or to grab him with shackles? Liu Jian and others let go of their hearts and are very happy in their hearts. Empress Zhang also felt that she had regained the Li Dongyang round, and she was so complacent, the palace feast was staggered, and she suddenly presented a happy situation for everyone.

Yang Ling hugged Youniang's soft lifeless body tightly, and was very anxious. Suddenly she heard her Youniang groan, and suddenly heard the sound of Xian Lelun, his excited voice tremblingly called: "Youniang, Lady?"
After a while, Youniang supported and responded again. Yang Ling was overjoyed. He tightened his sweaty palms. Seeing Youniang was exhausted, he still couldn't open his eyes, for fear that she would fall asleep again, he hurriedly posted Speaking into Youniang's ear: "Youniang, you wake up quickly, you like husband to hold you and talk, wait for your body to heal, husband holds you every night, chat with you, OK?" /
"My dear mother, husband is reluctant to leave you. Didn’t you say you were going to buy a jujube tree to plant in the yard two days ago? Another day, let’s buy it together and plant a jujube tree in the yard, you If you want to raise chickens, then let’s raise chickens. By the way, raise a watchdog. The chickens and dogs will be lively enough.
Youniang, Beijing is not comparable to the countryside. You stay at home alone and have nothing to do. When you get better, I will have one with you soon, no! Do you like it when you have a dozen babies and you can’t be free for a moment? You have to live to accompany husband to do these things, otherwise husband has to ask for a beautiful wife again, chat with her, plant trees with her, raise trees with her...".
"No... don't...", Han Youniang twisted his body and suddenly groaned. Yang Ling's words stopped all of a sudden, he froze for a while, then suddenly raised his head from Youniang's greasy hair and stared at her ecstatically.
Under the light of , Youniang's face was still sickly blush, with fine beads of sweat on the tip of the nose, but the rosy rash on the neck had completely disappeared, and the gray complexion was gone. Her long eyelashes flickered for a while, opened her eyes slightly, but closed them wearily, and groaned: "husband, people...I'm so tired, I don't want to open my eyes".
Yang Ling hurriedly said: "Okay, don't open, don't open, it's good for you, so good for this".
The room was quiet, and only the heartbeat of two people was heard. Yang Ling felt that Youniang’s little hands were gradually warming, touching her forehead with his cheek, it was just warm, and he couldn’t help but relax for a long time. Tone.
After a while, Youniang seemed to have accumulated enough energy. She twisted her body and said weakly: "husband, it's so hot...". Yang Ling hurriedly said: "Don't move, be careful of the wind, the pill hasn't finished yet".
Youniang hummed meekly, and gasped: "husband...can you be lighter, Youniang panting...can't breathe".
Yang Ling almost grabbed the ground. The feelings Youniang was overwhelmed by himself. He thought that Youniang hadn't had the energy to speak yet. Yang Ling hurriedly supported the ground with an elbow and slightly propped up. Han Youniang gasped for a while and slowly opened her eyes. She looked at Yang Ling's sweaty face and said lovingly, "husband, Youniang feel much better, you.... .. You rest."
Yang Ling hummed, moved slightly away and leaned against her, Youniang closed his eyes, and then gently said: "husband, Youniang still wants to hear you."
"Um!...say...say what? I usually fall asleep, and you say it in my ear", Yang Ling dumbfounded. Youniang said with a hint of shame: "Like...just like that, Youniang didn't even listen...husband said, I really like to listen...".

When the news of Yang Ling's anti-decree saving his wife spread in Beijing City, all the "clothes" in Beijing, no matter how high or low, stood on the side of Yang Ling and cheered for him.
The officials in Beijing are also divided into two factions, fighting with each other red-faced and arguing. As a result, the minister who had a daughter at home was bombarded by fatigue that day. In the evening, his wife and concubines were blown away by pillows. When he was not firm, he immediately raised a white flag and decided to pretend to be deaf and dumb. , The Poyang faction immediately became lonely.
As soon as the news spread that the emperor did not immediately make an order to arrest Yang Ling, some sixth-sense officials began to stand on the side of Yang Ling, searched for archaeological cases, looked through the dossier, and began to plan ahead and find theories for Yang Ling’s behavior. Based on it.
The scholars in Beijing also talked a lot about this. One of the Jiangxi scholars called Yan Song wrote a long fu and spread it everywhere. First, he praised Hongzhi Emperor as a beautiful flower like Yao and Shun's resurrection, and then quoted the classics. Praise that Yang Ling has been enlightened by your majesty, the king is loyal to the minister, and it seems that if it is not the case, the king is not the king, and the minister is not a loyal minister.
Yang Ling himself was too busy, so he edited a book, asked Wu Jie to bring back the cock, and asked the Han father and son to enter Beijing immediately. From what he thought, he would have to go to jail if he didn't die. Youniang had recovered from his illness, so he didn't dare to mention it to her. He only hoped that Han and his son would arrive in Beijing as soon as possible, and Youniang would also have some help.
Yang Ling saw that Youniang was ill and weak, and bought a little girl to take care of her. When he went to the government to register the master and servant documents, all the people in the yamen, including the master book and the servants, rushed to block the door and watched. Xiao Xiaoxi was susceptible to water and cold, and he took the posture of taking a glance.
The next morning, I didn't use Youniang to call him for the first time. The worried Yang Ling got up early. He packed up and looked at the sleeping Youniang with nostalgia, and quietly called the little girl Yun'er to ask. , Then rushed to the Forbidden City.
Yang Ling hip injury has not healed. I was afraid that I would miss the hour. I hired a car on the road and came to the corner gate as usual. The guard of the palace inspected his waist card and said with a smile: "Master Yang, early morning in the palace If the will comes, if Master Yang comes, you don't have to go to the East Palace to attend school, just kneel outside the Meridian Gate and wait for the edict."
Yang Ling was startled, and said: "Yes, thank you General." He staggered to the gate of the palace. Those civil and military ministers dressed in court uniforms and holding the wat-boards were waiting for the gate to open. Seeing a sixth-rank official approaching, they all showed surprise, and they all started to pay attention. ceremony.
Yang Ling, without squinting, walked straight to the front of the palace gate and knelt upright, bowing his head in silence.
The flat stone slab just kneeled down and it was nothing, but after a long time, the knees were sore and painful. An official at the gate of the palace was in charge of inspecting the appearance of the civil and military officials. Yang Ling is now a criminal minister. I dare not act rashly and then teach people truth. Self-patience.
Not long after, the melodious bell sounded from afar, and the first ray of light in the sky shone on the vermilion palace gate, the palace gate opened in response, and hundreds of officials came to court. Yang Ling lowered his head, only to see a pair of official boots walking by his side, making a slight rustling sound.
The morning started. Time passed by. Yang Ling supported the ground with both hands on the ground. His knees were numb and unconscious, and his neck became sore and unbearable because he kept in the same position. Sweat dripped from his forehead. One by one fell down.
The bell rang, and a group of officials filed out, passing in front of Yang Ling, and Yang Ling's spirits lifted up: the early dynasty is over, the emperor should summon himself. But after waiting for a long time, the palace was still quiet.
Yang Ling can’t help but despair, is it impossible for the emperor to let himself kneel here alive? He could not bear the hidden torture of maintaining a posture for a long time. Yang Ling's hands pressed **** the ground, and the Venus stared in front of him, and the muscles of his neck were trembling suddenly.
Yang Ling didn't know how he lasted until the end of the noon dynasty, until a little **** walked up to him and called out loudly to him: "Master Yang, your majesty declared you to enter the palace" before he woke up. .
Yang Ling got up for a long time and walked behind the little **** to the palace, crossing the Golden Water Bridge, passing the Gate of Supreme Harmony, passing the Hall of Supreme Harmony, Hall of Zhonghe, and Hall of Baohe, passing through After clearing the door, Yang Ling went straight to the inner court under the leadership of the little eunuch. Yang Ling's heart gradually calmed down. The emperor saw him in the inner hall, and it seemed that at least there was no decapitation.
Yang Ling was led to a hall, and the little yellow door bowed and sang: "My lord, Yang Ling, please."
I just listened to an old **** inside saying loudly: "Your Majesty has a purpose, declare him to see you!" Yang Ling stepped in and saw Emperor Hongzhi dressed in bright yellow casual clothes, standing on the case and waving his money to paint. The one next to him was called Miao Kui. The **** was waiting for him, and there was no one else in this imperial study room except them.
Yang Ling quickly took two steps and knelt down in the tunnel: "The criminal minister Yang Ling knocks on the emperor, the criminal minister will die!"
Hongji didn’t hear it, he looked at the drawing paper, lifted the pen and sketched it for a while, then put the pen down and laughed: “How?” Miao Kui praised: “Your Majesty’s brush is strong, the charm of the essence, it is everyone The work".
Hongzhi laughed and said: "What do you know, haha, Yang Shidu, how about this painting of mine?"
Yang Ling Seeing him talking and laughing at Yan Yan, he never said anything about his own anti-decree, and he was secretly surprised. He responded anxiously, got up and leaned in front of Hongzhi and looked at the Yushuan. There was a mountain on the paper. There were trees on the peak, and a straight green pine emerged from the thick ink on the mountain, as if it wanted to go straight into the clouds. At night, there are still faint mountains ups and downs in the distance. Although the whole painting is simple, the brushwork is really good.
Yang Ling doesn’t know how to paint, but he has good calligraphy in his previous life and remembers a lot of ancient poems. Seeing that this pair of landscapes are suitable in density, but can’t be evaluated, he resorted to cleverly saying: “Your Majesty is powerful, and what’s more rare is that this pair of Danqing has profound meaning , Cherish the world, look at this forest, although there are many shows, Shizhi Building must be the material of the pillars."
Hongzhi flashed a strange color in his eyes, and said with a faint smile: "Yang Qing did not only see this strange pine. Look at the trees on this mountain. Some are thin and straight. They can be used as rafters, and some are straight and thick. Pillars, but more of them are distorted and weird, so I had to split them for firewood."
He smiled leisurely, but the corners of his lips were cold: "Yang Qing, are you willing to be the material for the pillars, the rafters, or a bundle of firewood?"
Yang Ling fell on his knees without thinking about it, and said loudly: "Chen, I would like to be the raw material for 橼桷!"
Miao Kui shook, almost knocking over the Duanyan in his hand. Hongzhi originally thought that he had cut his blood and made generous speeches, but he didn't expect to hear such a word from his mouth. Hongzhi was stunned for a long time before he was surprised and said: "What? Are you willing to be the material of 橼橷?"
Yang Ling bowed his head and said: "Yes, ministers cannot help your Majesty rule the country like Liu Xie and Li Sangong, and Wu cannot command thousands of troops and fight in the desert grassland, so that you can do it with your will. It is expected that the ministers who can protect one township and one county for your majesty and benefit the people will be satisfied."
Hongji laughed dumbly when he heard that, but he felt that although the courtier had a strategy, he was straightforward and cute. He was simply a stunned boy. He caught a glimpse of Yang Ling talking, his knees still trembling slightly. I don’t know if he was so scared that he was kneeling outside the Wumen, and a trace of pity was in my heart: "No matter, let him kneel down today. He has been punished in front of the civil and military officials. This person still needs to use it. If you are so scared that he is afraid of doing things from then on, it will not be worth the gain."
He chuckled and said, "Get up, you have the heart to compare with Liu Xie and Li Aiqing, this spirit is already very high, they are also from your age, your identity every day. When you were like you at the beginning, you may not have the ambitions you have today, so you don’t have to be self-sufficient."
After he talked about going back to the book case, he picked up a pen to caption the painting, "Though there are many shows, the building used is the building material", and then he handed it to Yang Ling: "I have given you this picture. I hope you remember what you said today and always reflect on yourself. Haha, you can withdraw."
Yang Ling inexplicably took over Hongji's calligraphy Danqing, looking a little at a loss, the emperor left himself outside the palace gate all morning~IndoMTL.com~ came in and gave him a face, and then sent him home? This is really unpredictable.
He said relievedly: "Yes, the minister retire," said Zhang with his hands high above his head, and stepped back respectfully. Hongzhi Emperor saw him withdraw from the Imperial Study Room with a smile in his eyes. He nodded slightly and said: "If you don't be self-righteous, so show; if you don't cut yourself, you have merit; if you don't be self-sufficient, you are long; well, you can have this at a young age. It’s worth noting that I’ve been trained. Miao Kui, passed the decree, Yang Ling will stop studying in the East Palace and become an officer in the Shenji camp."
Miao Kui was taken aback, hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, Yang Ling has just been punished and was promoted to a Chinese officer. I fear that the courtiers will criticize him again. The emperor, should he be appointed as a deputy capital first, and then slowly promoted later? ?"
Hongzhi smiled bitterly, and thought to himself: "Why don’t I want to practice slowly, but I am afraid that my destiny will be exhausted and there will be no time. Now the six branches of the Central Government and the three ministers of the cabinet are all veterans, the masters are young and old, although they are loyal Geng Geng, but after all, he is a courtier. If I don't help my son again, and balance the domestic and foreign ministers and labor, how can my son control the thousands of miles and the country's civil and military?".
Hongzhi Emperor thought about it and waved his hand and said, "Fine, the plan is to arrange for him to work in the Shenji Camp. As for the specific position...Wang Yue supervises the 12th regiment camp, he has always done things safely. , Let him arrange it.
By the way, I will give him two more bottles of golden sore medicine. Yesterday, Yang Ling resisted the decree and took his wife to seek medical treatment. Today, I will give him a decree from Yang’s wife to apply medicine for her husband, ha ha ha! "
