Return to Ming Dynasty as Prince Chapter 86: Hongzhi Daxing

Yang Ling recognized that the girl was Princess Yongfu. When he heard that the prince was chasing and killing the uncle, he couldn't care about saluting the princess, and hurriedly asked: "Where is the prince? Please take me quickly."

　　Princess Yongfu led Yang Ling and hurriedly ran around the rattan rack. The little **** who passed the decree saw that Yang Ling had run away, and couldn’t help being dumbfounded: why this adult has a tendency to resist decree, but the princess took him away , For a while he didn't know what to do, so he had to follow.

　　 Yang Ling walking through a promenade, I saw more than a dozen eunuchs and palace ladies standing there panicked, Zhu Houzhao's handsome face flushed, holding a sharp sword in his hand and standing in front of a rockery, opposite the rockery stood a three A man in his teens was looking at Zhu Houzhao's movements from the gap between the rocks. As soon as Zhu Houzhao chased him, he walked around the'mountain', which looked extremely ridiculous.

　　Princess Yongfu said anxiously: "General Yang, quickly stop the emperor, as soon as Shou Ninghou came out of the palace of the father, the emperor took the guard sword and chased it all the way here."

　　Yang Ling heard this and hurriedly stepped forward and called: "His Royal Highness, don't be impulsive."

　　Zhu Houzhao Huo Di turned around and shouted: "Who dares to talk more, kill all the lonely...", he saw Yang Ling at a glance, and his expression suddenly eased, and he said with joy: "Student Yang, come! Just in time, help me catch the chaos and thief!"

　　 Shou Ninghou stood opposite, I heard that it was Yang Shidu, and I couldn’t help but be overjoyed. This is the person the empress has saved. How should I return my favor? He hurriedly shouted: "Weichen was wronged. Yang Shidu save me, I am Zhang Heling, Shouning Hou."

　　Zhu Houzhao snorted, "You thief, no one can save you, so obediently let me cut it with one sword, otherwise this prince will copy you all!"

　　Yang Ling talked about Zhu Houzhao and said in a puzzled way: "Prince, a dignified master Hou was chased by you with a sword and escaped for his life. I am afraid that the courtiers will not be willing to spread it out. What did Shou Ning Hou do?"

　　Zhu Houzhao said bitterly: "Student Yang, just now I missed the safety of my father, so I ran back to see him, this uncaring beast, a bold traitor! My father was sleeping in bed, but he and Zhang Yanling Standing in the corner of the temple, laughing and talking, that’s all, while talking and laughing, he actually picked up the crown and put it on his head, so rebellious, should you kill it?"

　　Yang Ling was also taken aback. Although it was just a hat, in the era of the supremacy of the emperor, the hat was a symbol. With this, if you give this Shouning Houan a big crime of treason For too much.

　　Yang Ling glanced at Shou Ninghou and saw that his face was pale and his hands were still shaking suddenly, he said to the prince: "His Royal Highness, if he is responsible for the guilt, he should be killed, but it should be the court to enforce the canonical punishment. Yes, if you kill a Lord Lord in this way in the palace, rumors will inevitably spread from people who don’t know. Moreover, if your majesty is kind to Lord Lord, if this affects your majesty’s condition, how your majesty handles himself is still the emperor’s The sick body is heavy."

　　 Zhu Houzhao heard him mention the emperor, and suddenly woke up: "Yes, he ran out immediately when he saw me. I woke up the emperor when I was chasing him. Hurry up, go back and see the emperor, lest he be saved. The emperor is worried!"

　　Zhu Houzhao said wind is wind, rain is rain, leaving Shou Ninghou who was half-deadly scared, holding a sword in one hand and Yang Ling in one hand, hurried to Palace of Heavenly Purity.

　　 Shou Ninghou didn't know what the prince and Yang Ling were whispering. When he saw Yang Ling's few words, he persuaded the prince away. On the contrary, this uncle of his own was not as powerful as an outsider in front of the prince. After thinking about it, he flicked his sleeves and went straight to Kunning Palace.

　　*

　　 Now that the prince is in charge of the country, he can be promoted without reporting. Yang Ling was dragged by him and hurriedly broke into the Dongnuan Pavilion. Hongzhi Emperor was leaning on the pillow and looking at the door. Yang Ling didn't dare to look more, and hurriedly fell to his knees and said loudly: "Chen Yang Ling knocks on the emperor."

　　Hongzhi Emperor just woke up and saw Shou Ninghou and the prince leaving in a hurry. At this time, seeing Yang Ling Jin, he was not in a hurry to talk to the prince. He looked at Yang Ling a few times and smiled and said: "Fat, when Yang Qing was in the army. The days are short, but they are already quite heroic. I am very relieved."

　　Yang Ling bowed and said: "Thank your majesty for the praise, the ministers have been ordered to train the troops, and dare not slacken, but they have not made any achievements to this day, and they have failed holy hopes, and the ministers are really ashamed."

　　 Hongzhi laughed and said, "Yang Qing doesn’t have to be modest. Your military training method is quite effective. I am very satisfied with such results in a short time. Just come here, Miao Kui, and Yang Qing Go to hand over the palace ban".

　　 Yang Ling was a little surprised. He thought that Hongji would have to test him, so he made some preparations on the road. Unexpectedly, Hongzhi Emperor did not ask, so he changed defense. Yang Ling saw that Miao Kui had responded at the door, so he exited with courtesy, and was forbidden to hand over with Miao Kui.

　　 Zhu Houzhao standing next to Hongzhi's couch said strangely: "Father, you said that you should treat your subordinates generously, and you said that Yang Shidu can be my minister, why did you send him out in a few words?" /

　　 Hongzhi patted the couch, asked his son to sit down, and said to him: "Emperor, rewards and punishments must be measured. If you pass, you will be rewarded and punished without fear. Yang Ling has moved quickly, and it is already a hundred officials. Spoiling too much is not a good thing."

　　 He held his son's hand and laughed: "He is the old minister of the Eastern Palace. Now the guardian is in Ouchi. After the emperor becomes the throne, he has won the honor of supporting him. Do I have to send him another minister to the loneliness? , Your courtier, this kindness, let you give it."

　　Zhu Houzhao heard what the emperor said, and couldn't help but said in a panic: "Father, why did you say this, your body...".

　　 Hongzhi saw that he was sad and interrupted hurriedly: "Emperor, I just woke up and saw you chasing Uncle Guo in a hurry, what's the matter?"

When 　　 Zhu Houzhao heard it, his face flushed with anger. He recounted the matter bitterly. Hongzhi couldn't help but laughed. He shook his head slightly and said, "A little bit, why should the emperor care? Shou Ning Hou is so frivolous, can he be someone who accomplishes great things? A big trouble for children, alas...not in the court"

　　*

　　 Empress Zhang listened to Zhang Yanling running to report the news, and she was leading the palace lady panicking to rescue people. She saw Zhang Heling rushing into the palace in despair, and then she relaxed, she sat with a pretty face Back to Jindun, he said to the ladies: "Retreat all!"

　　 Empress Zhang is over thirty years old, but she was originally a beautiful and beautiful woman, plus well-maintained. Although she was a woman who had given birth to several children, she still looked like twenty people, with a dignified and charming appearance. Standing with Princess Yongfu is like a pair of sisters.

　　 Empress and Hongzhi's husband and wife for more than ten years, they have deep affection. Seeing that the emperor has not much time, she is also very sad these days. Now two naive brothers are still coming to cause trouble, and they are really a little annoyed.

　　 Actually, it doesn’t matter if this matter is left to ordinary people, isn’t it just the eldest brother wearing the brother-in-law’s hat? But the other party is the emperor, it depends on what you say.

　　 The two of them had been instructed by their sister to visit Hongzhi Emperor's condition, showing their loyalty to the courtiers. Hongzhi Emperor was in a bad spirit. After chatting with them, they fell asleep. They did not dare to wake the emperor, nor did they dare to wake up the emperor. He left without saying a word, and had to chat and wait at the corner of the palace.

　　 Zhang Yanling came to see that Hongzhi Emperor was in serious condition. She was worried that the power of the Zhang family would be affected after his death, but Zhang Heling didn't care. When he wanted to come, even if the emperor died, it was his nephew who became the new emperor. The nephew is the emperor and the younger sister is the empress dowager, so what should I worry about?

　　 He smiled at Zhang Yanling and said: "Second brother, don’t worry, if the emperor is really big, my brother’s power will only be even greater. Once the emperor and the courtier, the new emperor will be entrusted to the throne. At that time, let my sister be the queen dowager to ask for an **** for us. Didn’t the Shenji camp have an official camp officer? We went to take control of the Shenji camp. I was a camp officer and you were a deputy, that would be tens of thousands. The male soldiers are in hand, and the Shenjiying is always in charge of the princes. I have been promoted from Shouningbo to Shouninghou for a few years, and this time I won’t get a Shouning Gongdang?"

　　 Zhang Heling said that he lost his mind, and saw Hongzhi's robes stacked on the table. He took the emperor crown and put it on his head. He smiled and said: "At that time, today, except for the emperor, it is you and me, our brothers What is the difference between speaking and the emperor speaking?"

　　 It’s a coincidence that the prince Zhu Houzhao rushed to Dongnuan Pavilion at this time. When the two uncles stood talking and laughing in the corner of the palace, they were already unhappy. Goodbye, he was wearing a crown on his head, and suddenly Frightened and angry, seeing him fleeing out of the hall in a desperate manner, he immediately drew the sword of the guard and chased him out.

　　 Empress Zhang saw that her brother was innocent, she couldn't help but bitterly said: "The two brothers are not fighting, you are frivolity, how dare you wear the crown of God. If your majesty gets angry, even I will not be able to excuse you. "

　　 Shou Ninghou said with a mournful face: "It's my brother who is fooling around, but the prince is your own son, and you can do something with my uncle. If he succeeds in Datong, will our brothers still have a way to survive?".

　　 Empress Zhang hummed: "The royal family has no affection. There have not been many emperors like the emperor since ancient times. You... alas, the emperor is going now. You will be more cautious in the future. Those scholars took the handle, who else will support you?" She said, thinking of the emperor's condition, she couldn't help crying.

　　 Shou Ning Hou anxiously said: "Queen, this is not our little careless thing. Which princes are not brave? Brothers have their tails up and behaved. Are you the queen glorious? Sister, are you not? Knowing the prince's fierceness at the time, there is no affection for me. If Yang Shidu hadn't saved me, my brother would have been in a different place now."

　　 He couldn’t help crying and said: “Queen, now the emperor is critically ill, and the patron of our Zhang family is about to fall. The prince has been born with us since he was a child. He doesn’t even have a son like you. When the prince becomes emperor, we will hang a knife on the head of our Zhang family, and it will fall down sometime."

　　 Empress Zhang was upset by what he said. I think this son has not been close to him since he was a child, especially when he heard rumors and suspected that he was not his mother, the feelings were even more alienated, and she felt miserable in her heart. Tears rolled, and said sadly: "Is it my Zhang family's fortune? I only have such a son, but I don't have any kindness and filial piety to me. If he really wants to rectify the Zhang family, what can this palace do? ?"

　　 Zhang Yanling rolled her eyes and slapped her forehead and said, "Sister, why is the Zhang family prosperous? Marriage, you are married to the emperor, and our Zhang family has this kind of glory and wealth, and wants to get close to the next emperor. We have to get married".

　　The queen was startled, and said in doubt: "Marriage with the prince? The queen mother is still there. I can't decide the choice of the queen."

　　 Zhang Yanling said: "My sister has misunderstood. The marriage my brother said was not with the Prince, but with the Prince's most favored minister."

　　Queen dazedly said: "With whom? Liu Jian? Li Dongyang? Or... which grandson of a bachelor is the right age?"

　　 Zhang Yanling curled his lips, disdainfully said: "The prince does not wait to see me, and is annoyed with them, what is the use of marrying them? The prince chased and killed his brother, I wanted to persuade the prince back with a sword, almost stabbed I’m so cool. Listening to my brother, Yang Ling can persuade the prince out in a few words. Isn’t the prince following him? Sister, you have a life-saving grace for him. It is more convenient to bring him in."

　　 Empress Zhang heard the jade face a cold, and said: "Why, Yang Ling has a wife, how can you be a concubine with others? Even if you are a flat wife, the princess does not share the truth of the husband. What a royal joke?"

　　 Zhang Yanling quickly pointed to her nose and said: "It's me, it's me, who said to marry the princess? Our family doesn't say anything wrong, this Great Ming husband and wife is called a stubborn, a little bit proud. Are you willing to do it? He is now in the prestige, and his sister is willing to marry the princess. He may not be willing to do it. I am talking about my daughter."

　　 Empress Zhang said strangely: "What? Your daughter? Then you are married, so why bother to ask me? But... your daughter is also a daughter of the Hou Palace. Isn't it too much to marry him? Are people laughing?"

　　 Zhang Yanling smiled and said: "My daughter was born to a concubine, it doesn’t matter, but I still have to save the face of my master. It’s not good if you don’t say it. If you say that the queen’s wife gave the marriage, it’s a pity. Beauty talks, no one can make irresponsible remarks under the will, and he can treat his wife equally, showing the Queen’s trust in Yang Ling, and the decentness of our family. Isn’t it both beautiful?"

　　 Zhang Heling looked suspiciously at this younger brother, who had always been lacking muscles. He always felt that this method was a bit tricky. Of course, it was a good way to win over the pets around the new emperor. Of course, it was a good way to protect himself. And then, apart from Hongzhi Emperor, there seem to be very few people who can manipulate the prince like this, but... can someone give them a daughter to make him work for the Zhang family? I've been playing the trick with relatives for thousands of years. How many people are there to believe?

　　 Empress Zhang said unhappily: "No matter, my son is going to be an emperor. On the contrary, my two brothers will marry their daughters to please his pets. My palace is really frustrated. You are willing to toss, I'm too lazy to care about you, but I won't come forward for you for such a detrimental thing. If you want to talk about it, go by yourself. If he allows my palace to come forward and give the marriage, it's just...the Yang Ling beloved wife To the deepest, even the imperial decree refused to resign because of her, your daughter is not a country of beauty, this matter...".

　　 Zhang Yanling smiled and said: "The queen sister, don’t worry, although Yang Ling is very affectionate to his wife, she is still young and lustful. I heard that he has taken in a few concubines. Although my daughter is not a national color, she is also handsome. Very, if you allow it, it will be easy to handle. I will look for the opportunity to talk to him about it.

　　Zhang Heling secretly shook her head, and thought to herself: "Look at this look, all the original wishful thinking will be lost. Even the queen has no confidence in the prince. Who else can make him feel jealous? To keep the Zhang family This foundation can't be done with this brainless brother, which big tree can cling to? Maybe..."

　　*

　　 The Beijing camp is a very strange team. I have always recognized that a strong army must have strict military discipline, but the Beijing army is a freak. They are better equipped than the frontier army and weaker than the frontier army. However, the military discipline is strict and clear. Better than the frontier.

　　Yang Ling deployed the three soldiers of the Shenjiying camp at various gates in the palace, patrolling the gates of the palace every day, and did not dare to slack a little bit, for fear that these officers and soldiers would suddenly enter the Forbidden City to do some tricks and seduce palace ladies. .

　　 Fortunately, these things are too much to worry about. Lian Delu and Peng Jizu are now obedient to him. The third division is a deputy capital division promoted by Yang Ling from the third division. Although this person has no talent, he wins He was calm and steady, and followed the military order with meticulous attention. Therefore, the general order of Yang Ling was issued, and the subordinates were very strict. In addition, the lower-level officials in the military were very supportive of Yang Ling. Therefore, Yang Ling sent his troops into the palace and issued the command of the three armies. Able to implement the three armies, no one dared to violate it.

　　 patrolled for two consecutive days. Under the constraints of the generals, the officers and soldiers were able to perform their duties and follow the rules, and Yang Ling's heart was relieved.

　　 Except for the military discipline issue, he has nothing to worry about. Emperor Hongzhi has only one son. The princes and grandchildren of the Zhu family have already sent Beijing to harm the local people. There is no suspense about the crown prince’s ascension to the throne. There are situations where the kings are relegated, and Hongzhi's transfer of troops is just a normal preventive method when the emperor changes from the old to the new.

　　 There is no problem with military discipline, and most of the task of garrisoning Ouchi has been completed. It’s just that Hongzhi’s illness does not heal for a day, or the crown prince does not take the throne for a day, the responsibility of the garrison cannot be relieved. The gates of Miyagi are closed. At that time, she couldn't leave at all.

　　Yang Ling walked to the entrance of Wumen. When the officers and soldiers stationed saw the general coming, they all saluted him. Yang Ling nodded to them, approached the palace gate, and faintly heard voices outside, Yang Ling was quite moved. : Emperor Hongzhi is really loved by his courtiers. Since he was seriously ill and sealed the palace gate, a large number of officials have gathered outside the Meridian Gate every day to wait for the emperor’s news. Every time a courtier took a memorial, there was a large group of officials. The officials rushed up and asked questions, not wanting to leave more than half an hour.

　　 He shook his head and walked back to Jinshuiqiao. Just out of the shadow of Miyagi, Jianchang Hou Zhang Yanling came up under the guidance of a little eunuch, and said with a smile: "Master Yang? This Hou is Jianchang Hou Zhang Yanling, looking for adults for a while."

　　Yang Ling Seeing that this Lord Hou looked quite similar to Hou Shou Ning, he was too busy to bow his hand to the courtesy, and asked in surprise: "What's the matter with Lord Hou looking for an official?"

　　 Jianchang Hou Hahe smiled and said: "A great happy event! Come on, Master Yang will take a step to speak." Jianchang Hulafeng Yang Ling walked away a few steps, smiled and said: "Adults are young and promising, and the young woman appreciates the character and knowledge of adults. Therefore, Ben Hou Mao recommended herself and wanted to promote this marriage. For Qin Jin, isn't this a happy event?".

　　Yang Ling was surprised and laughed, hehe said: "Hou Ye is so reckless, Yang Ling has already married his wife, how can I be blessed to hire Hou Ye's daughter again?"

　　 Jianchang Hou haha ​​smiled and said: "Of course I know that Mrs. Yang and his wife are looking for doctors in Ninetowns. It is because of this that the little girl is so talented to admire adults. It is normal for a husband to have three wives and four concubines. What’s wrong with the ancient beauty of wife’s actions?"

　　Yang Ling smiled and shook his head and said: "I have to accept Hou's goodwill, Yang Ling is only monogamous in this life, and Hou's goodwill Yang Ling is only the heart."

　　 Jianchang Hou Furan displeased: "Master Yang~IndoMTL.com~ This matter, the empress and empress also nodded. Empress admires you very much. You and I will get married. In the future, the empress and empress will take care of you. The future goes without saying. If I don’t allow it, I’m fine, and I’m afraid it’s the empress who will be unhappy.”

　　Yang Ling raised eyebrows, and said: "Oh?...is it the empress's wish?"

　　 Zhang Yanling listened to his tone, and she couldn't help being furious: The kid is too ignorant to promote, are you showing off your daring to resist the imperial decree, so you don’t put the empress’s decree in your eyes?

　　 Zhang Yanling's face was purplish red, and his lips were about to puff again. Suddenly, he heard the bells and drums ringing leisurely, and the sound waves swayed across the imperial city. He didn't feel it at the first sound, but then he realized that it was wrong. At this time, it was not the time when the clock and drums sounded, and the drums and bells did not sound one after the other, but at the same time.

　　 An ominous feeling arose in his heart, he couldn't help looking up at Palace of Heavenly Purity, only to hear the continuous ringing of bells and drums, nine leisurely ringing, and the sound of the forbidden palace.

　　 All the walking and standing soldiers, court ladies, and eunuchs all turned back and looked at the harem. After a pause, the Ouchi Imperial Palace was silent, and even the noisy courtiers at the gate disappeared. The bells and drums rang, and there was a pause. The bells and drums rang again, first by one person, then by several people, and then all of them knelt down in the direction of Palace of Heavenly Purity, leaning over and kowtow.

　　 Jianchang Hou opened his mouth, unable to speak for a while, and finally his knees weakened, and he knelt down in panic. Yang Ling was at a loss for some reason. Suddenly, he heard the sound of a sudden shower in the thick Hougong behind him. I don’t know how many people slapped the thick palace gate frantically, and the howling sound passed through the Meridian Gate from outside.

　　Yang Ling woke up in shock and hurriedly fell to his knees. He finally understood what had happened: "The emperor... died!"
