Return to Ming Dynasty as Prince Chapter 90: Jiao Fang meter

Jiao Fang laughed and said: "Yes, it's just...The two adults Wang Ao and Liu Fang just came back from behind closed doors. The old man is afraid that he will come home too. Master Yang is a powerful courtier in front of the emperor. The old man would like to ask an adult for help."

　　Yang Ling flashed in his heart, and suddenly said: "Is the adult also here for the Xinyang matter? Don't hide it from your lord, the next official also persuaded the emperor...", Yang Ling told him the whole story. , Sighed lightly: "The emperor is young and still doesn't know about civil affairs. Some things may not be clear to the emperor. There is nothing to do with the emperor now."

　　Jiao Fang, this person is not like Wang Ao, Yang Fang, etc. who talk about the solar terms. Although he is more than seventy years old and gray-haired, his passion for fame and wealth has not diminished at all. Now Yang Ling is the red and purple figure of the Zhengde Emperor and the former, he has long been interested in making friends, so although his official position is higher than Yang Ling, his attitude towards Yang Ling is extremely humble.

　　 Hearing what Yang Ling said, Jiao Fang frowned and thought for a while, cautiously said: "The emperor has lived in the palace since he was a child. I don’t know if the people’s sufferings are also reasonable. Let’s not tell Mr. Yang, the old man is from Henan Biyang, and he is also from his hometown. Among the disaster-stricken areas, the victims of Henan are now waiting to be fed, and there is not only one place for the victims. Relatives and friends in Biyang, Xinyang and other places go to the capital for trust, and the old man has to advance on the emperor. Since he can’t be admonished, old man I want to beg, but Master Yang has to extend a helping hand in this matter, and I hope Master Yang can help."

　　 "If Oh? can be of benefit to the people, Yang Ling will accept it. I wonder if the old man has any ideas?" Yang Ling hurriedly said.

　　Jiao Fang listened to his promise, and hurriedly leaned forward to whisper to him. Yang Ling looked at him in surprise, and said in his heart: "Although the emperor has nothing to do, he is also a 15-16-year-old boy. Although he is stubborn, he is serious, but Would you appreciate this kind of kid trick?"

　　 But now that the old man has said that, he might as well help him. If it is really successful, it will be of immense merit. Yang Ling nodded and said, "This is easy to handle. Let's go to the humble position. Tomorrow you will prepare things and wait for the emperor to summon you."

　　*

　　 After leaving the morning, Zhengde Emperor drove the Zhonghe Temple. As soon as he entered the hall door, he yawned and complained to Yang Ling who was waiting here: "Get up so early every day, sleepy to death. The most hateful. It’s the same kind of dragon chair. I’d like to say that the person who made the dragon chair must have a grudge against the emperor. The chair was too hard and it was uncomfortable to sit on. The back of the chair was too deep and the waist could not be used. The armrests on both sides were too far away. I can't help it even if I want to help it, sitting on it is really tiring."

　　Yang Ling I wanted to laugh a bit. I remember that there was a carpenter emperor in Great Ming, but he didn't seem to be him in the impression. He was so eloquent, do the descendants of the Zhu family have a talent for carpentry?

　　Gu Dayong, seeing the emperor talk about these things, he hurriedly sent the court ladies and eunuchs out. Although Liu Jin is now the celebrity in front of Zhengde Emperor, his position has not changed. He is still the **** of Zhonggusi. Here and down the court, he commanded the bell and drums over there, and he was very busy. At this time, there was no time to come and wait for the emperor. The rest of Ma Yongcheng, Zhang Yong, etc. had their own functions, and the emperor was only served by Gu Dayong.

　　Zhengde sat after Long Shuan, took a crispy snack from the brocade box on the table and ate it, while vaguely said: "By the way, you said Henan is a prolific treasure. Today, you are asking someone to offer some rare things. Son, bring it to me and see."

　　 Yang Ling smiled and winked at Gu Dayong. Gu Dayong had gotten his order early, and hurriedly walked to the front of the hall, shouting loudly: "Come in, minister Jiao Fang!

　　 After a while, the gray-haired Jiao Fang ran over from the front hall with sleeves up, and walked to the door of the hall, breathing for a while, before stepping into the threshold and kneeling down, shouting: "Chen Jiao Fang has seen the emperor".

　　Zhengde took a sip of tea and smiled authentically: "Jiao Aiqing, please, I heard that there are many treasures of Henan. Have you brought them here? Bring them to me."

　　Jiao Fang squatted his head and said: "My lord, Henan does not produce gold, silver, or jewellery and jade. The so-called treasures are just living creatures that are rare and rare in other places. drive".

　　Zhengde When I heard great music, what gold and silver jewelry, what is the fun of that kind of thing, when he heard that he said that it was a living creature that was rare in other places, it was even more difficult to scratch. The young people’s heart and nature come together, and Disregarding the emperor's prestige, he patted the table and smiled impatiently: "Quickly, quickly show me, I like these things".

　　 "Yes, Weichen obeys the order!" Jiao Fang looked up at Yang Ling. Yang Ling smiled and nodded at him imperceptibly. Jiao Fang was relieved.

　　 He entered the admonition today, and he actually took a great risk. If the emperor sees what he presents and is not happy or angry, he will steal the chicken and lose the rice. If he doesn’t get it right, he must go to the jail With Wang Qiong Wang Da people, now Yang Ling nodded and agreed, and if the emperor gets angry for a while, it should be fine if he keeps it.

　　Jiao Fang stubbornly took out three small boxes from his sleeves, held them respectfully in his hands, and said: “The treasures of the minister’s hometown are not produced, and the ones produced are all such rare things, please The emperor's view".

　　Zhengde said anxiously: "Get up, get up, bring it over and show me quickly." Jiao Fang got up and put the three boxes on the Longshu table in front of Zhengde. Jiao Fang carefully opened a box and gently pushed in front of Zhengde.

　　Zhengde opened his eyes wide, and saw a golden-colored, translucent thing in the box, with a thick shell on its back and a hook on its long tail, like a mighty general Generally, I can’t help but smile in surprise: "What is this? It's so fun!"

　　 As he said, he was about to reach out and stroke the mo. Yang Ling quickly grabbed him and said: "Be careful, the emperor, this thing is called a scorpion, and its body is poisonous. If it is stung by the hook on its tail, it’s so painful. Touch it".

　　Zhengde said with joy: "It turns out that this cute little thing is a scorpion. It looks very mighty and beautiful. I have heard of the five poisons, but unfortunately I have never seen it. I will put all these poisons together in the future. Tell them to bite and see, I see which one of them is more poisonous, and what else is in the box, take it out and see."

　　Gu Dayong picked up the lid and closed the box, then opened another, there was a soft stuff in the box, dark, spinning around in the box quickly, Zhengde looked unhappy , Frowned and said: "What is this?"

　　Jiao Fang said: "Going back to the emperor, this thing is called Qian Chuanzi. Henan people live in poverty and have no money left. Look at this living creature, which is like a bunch of money, so I will use it to joke, and look forward to one day. I can also be richer."

　　Zhengde said ‘Oh’, and said uninterestedly: "This money string is not fun, what is the third one?"

　　Jiao Fang opened another box, the lid was lifted, and only a buzzing sound was heard. A small thing flew out from the inside, whirled twice in the hall, and flew out of the hall with a beep Up.

　　 Zhengde Emperor was stunned, he smiled fussly: "What is this, is it a bird? How did it fly away?"

　　Yang Ling I have never seen such an ordinary thing, Zhengde Emperor has never seen it, and it looks really pitiful. But think about the corn seedlings that a city kid didn't recognize when they went to the countryside, and wondered why this weed grew so neatly, so it's no wonder that the prince didn't recognize these things.

　　Yang Ling laughed and said: "The emperor, this thing is called a cicada, and it is also called Zhi, because its call is like the word'Zhi'. This thing eats food and drinks dew, and feeds on tree sap."

　　 Jiao Fang is all-in-one knowledge, but since ancient times, people thought that cicadas grew up drinking dew, and some people wrote poems to praise the nobleness of cicadas. He was also the first time he heard about it. He couldn’t help but glance at Yang Ling. He echoed the emperor: "Master Yang is right. Henan has been either drought or flood in the past few years. There is not enough food in the land. Even the birds are starving to death. Only this kind of living thing that doesn't need to eat can Survive".

　　 Zhengde heard it and said in disbelief: "Is the Henan place so barren? The treasures produced there are.... Is this the scorpion, the scorpion, the money string? Poor! It's so pitiful."

　　Jiao Fang took the opportunity to kneel down and said: "The emperor is merciful, and the emperor and the emperor ruled. It was originally the country and the people, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment. However, Henan has been plagued by natural disasters for several years, so the people's life is very poor, although there is no change. However, many people have had three meals a day. The minister met a few fleeing villagers two days ago and realized the seriousness of the disaster in his hometown.

　　The minister is a Henan person, and he is also a courtier of the emperor, so he dare not exaggerate the matter to shock the emperor. At the same time, he dare not know about it and deceive the emperor. Therefore, he took the liberty to play the gods and ask the emperor to be the master of the people of Henan."

　　Zhengde only then understood what he meant. He looked at the box on the table again, and said with a smile: "Jiao Shilang is a good method, that's all, I have allowed you Henan to borrow the courtiers' discounts and exempt the Henan. Since I have given kindness, I will exempt more if I want to exempt it....Henan tax for five years, what do I think?"

　　Jiao Fang He was overjoyed when he heard it, he fell to his knees with a bang, banged his head, and called the emperor's sage. The words of praise were like a flood, and even Zhengde felt it overwhelming. , He covered his mouth and laughed and said: "It's fine, go down, I will make an order in the afternoon."

　　Zhengde blinked an eye to see Yang Ling standing aside with a smile, and couldn’t help but glared at him with a smile and pretended to be angrily, and said: “You are not proud of it. Today I thought I would have something rare to play with, but I was disappointed. With you, within three days, you have to find something fun to do for me."

　　Yang Ling responded with a grin, and accompany the staff assistant Jiao Fang, kowtow to thank you, and exit the hall together. Jiao Fang took Yang Ling's hand and thanked him repeatedly, incoherent in excitement.

　　Yang Ling heard him say that the Henan Renshi must be grateful for his righteous deeds, and couldn’t help laughing: “It’s not necessarily. The ministers of the DPRK and China have misunderstood the lower officials. I’m afraid... it will be Henan. The two adults who borrowed Yang Fang and Wang Ao also regarded me as enemies."

　　 Jiao Fang waved his hand and said disdainfully: "Mo care about them, the people only know who feeds them and who keeps them alive. As for the bookworms who know how to do things, don't pay attention to them."

　　Jiao Fang is the eighth-year Jinshi of Tianshun. In the early years of Hongzhi, he moved to the prefect of Huozhou, promoted the deputy envoy of Sichuan, and transferred to Huguang. Soon, he moved to Nanjing Youtongzheng, and later the Youshi Lang of the Li Ministry, until he sat in the position of the Shi Lang of the officials.

　　 In order to show his talents, he often writes to memorials and puts forward his own opinions on the court and local affairs, hoping to attract the attention of Hongzhi Emperor and reuse him.

　　Unfortunately, the officials at that time had some regional plots. Although he served successively in the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Officials, Shangshu Wang Qiong, and Ma Wensheng were loyal to the court, but their personal morals were not perfect. The memorials of Jiao Fang were often cited. They suppressed the report. Most of these officials are southerners, so Jiao Fang is extremely hostile to southern officials.

　　 Nowadays, in addition to the bachelor degree Liu Jian, the people in charge of power are mostly talents in Zhejiang, Hunan, and Jiangxi, so there are not many officials he can see in the middle of the Dynasty.

　　Yang Ling comes from Jiming, a fellow in the north, and a close minister to the emperor, and he just helped him so much so that he can confess to the elders in his hometown. Jiao Fang is naturally grateful.

　　 Hearing that Yang Ling said that he was discriminated by courtiers, Jiao Fang remembered the ostracism he was subjected to, and inevitably felt the same hatred of the enemy, and said now: "Master Yang is benevolent today to save hundreds of thousands of people in Henan. If adults do anything You only need to know that there will be a sound, but the old man is within his ability, and there is no disapproval."

　　Yang Ling smiled, thanked him, and bowed his hands to send the adult away. He just wants to live as happily as possible in his limited life, and do something good when he can do good deeds. Although chances are that others cannot ask for it in his lifetime, he has no ambitions, so the words of the deputy head of the Central Organization Department Not at all in my heart.

　　 After the afternoon, Zhengde breathed a sigh of relief. He returned to Palace of Heavenly Purity and had a ceremonial ceremony. While eating snacks, he asked the little **** to call Ma Yongcheng and find some fresh tricks to relieve the boredom. At this time, there were people outside. Loudly said: "Wuyingdian bachelor Liu Jian, Jinshendian bachelor Li Dongyang, Huagaidian bachelor Xie Qian, please see the emperor."

　　Zhengde Emperor screamed, hurriedly raised the curtain in a panic, and stuffed the candied fruit box in. The last time he didn’t care, when he met Liu Jian, there was a box of dried fruits on the table. When Liu Jian saw him, he gave a generous statement and blamed the emperor for not paying attention to the dragon's body, eating indiscriminately and not eating on time. The Zhengde who got it apologized and swore I won't eat anything indiscriminately in the future, and Liu Jian will stop now. If they see this and the three academicians speak together, can they still live?

　　Zhengde hid the candied fruit box, then sat down and said: "Please enter the hall with three scholars."

　　 The three old men outside the hall walked into the hall in response. The three academicians came together today for a major event. The new emperor succeeded to the throne, and the sixth house has no master. Although the emperor is not very young, this matter must be arranged as soon as possible.

　　Of course, Zhengde can't do anything about the empress. They came only to ask the emperor's consent in etiquette. As long as he nodded, someone would take care of the whole process. The emperor just waited for the bridal chamber.

　　Electing the queen, serving as the official fan, and honoring the ceremonies, is such a big event, although it is not as important as the emperor’s selection of heirs, but the transparency is much higher. The master of the main palace in the world must be carefully selected by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. After the candidates are selected, the internal officials and cabinet will accompany the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother to make a deliberative decision. The person chosen is still the second choice. He must be the daughter of an official and eunuch, with an innocent, virtuous and virtuous life, and she is the mother of the world.

　　 At this time, the Zhengde emperor, in addition to some vague affection for Tang Yixian, is still ignorant of the relationship between men and women, and the matter in the bed is even more difficult to understand, so the three academicians are overjoyed, this The Zhengde emperor, who had been discussing something for a few days, gave them a headache, unexpectedly cooperated, and did not raise any opinions.

　　 The three college scholars had their shoulders on their shoulders and had a fighting face. As long as Zhengde opposed them, they immediately started a war of words. Seeing Zhengde Emperor cooperate in this way, the three veterans said goodbye and went straight to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to talk about choosing the queen. The matter is gone.

　　Zhengde Emperor still doesn’t understand what it means to choose a wife for himself. He took out the candied fruit from under the table, took a few bites together, lay on the table and thought for a while, but still didn’t think it was anything to him. what is the relationship.

　　 When he raised his head and saw Yang Ling standing in front of him, Zhengde Emperor suddenly slapped his forehead and said: "I just remembered, it seems that you haven’t been home for a long time? You don’t have to stay in the palace today. Go home, anyway, you don’t have to go early, and tomorrow will not be used to be so early.

　　 Hehe, I remember that the father and the queen were always with the mother and the queen when they were away. The mother and the queen are not happy if they go there less often. If you leave for so long, sister Youniang must be unhappy anymore. Tell her not to blame me. Here, you can take this box of preserves back, as I will give it to sister Youniang as a gift".

　　 Yang Ling heard that Zhengde let him go home, he was so happy that 3,600 pores all over his body opened up, and he didn’t care to be courteous with Zhengde Emperor any more, and hurriedly thanked him and took the box of preserves. I ran to see Liu Biao first, and asked him to restrain the officers and soldiers, and soon they would move their troops to Huangzhuang.

　　 Then he asked for a fast horse, and as soon as he left the palace, he turned on his horse and headed straight for Huguo Temple. At this time, the people in the city lived as usual, but they were all dressed in plain clothes, with a white scarf wrapped around their heads, and they could hear the melodious bells in the temple drifting along the way.

　　 Wang Qiong, the size of the temple’s 30,000 ringing bells, and the rule of no rest day and night, today is exactly the third day, and it is estimated that the number of beatings is not much. Although no one counted them for them, the monks were devoted to their work and did not dare to sloppy. It is said that some temples have broken several bells.

　　Yang Ling Pegasus ran to Huguo Temple Street, and as soon as I entered the alley of my house, I saw a small sedan chair approaching, and two Tsing Yi servants followed him by the sedan chair and rubbed his body.

　　Yang Ling rolled over and got off the horse, led the horse happily to the door of his house, stretched out his hand, and the gate was not closed, Yang Ling immediately opened the gate and led the horse in.

　　 As soon as he entered the yard, he saw Xue Limei bending over and standing in the corner of the yard. She was slender and skinny, so elegant and charming just looking at the shadow from the side.

　　 It’s just that this good-tempered beauty is wearing a commoner, a blue apron, a white silk on her head, a small dustpan on her slender waist, and she is facing the corner of the courtyard. Chicken food was scattered in the corner.

　　 Hearing the sound, Xue Limei turned her head and saw him, she was surprised and happy, she happily put down the dustpan, greeted him excitedly, and opened her mouth and said: "Big...", Yang Ling immediately She silenced her and laughed quietly: "Don't call, is Youniang in there? I sneak in."

　　 Xue Limei has a hint of envy on her face, she nodded hurriedly, and said softly: "Well, my sister is here. Someone just came to visit the adults. Seeing that you are not at home, he also said that the new emperor was enthroned in the past two days. The big gift is complete, and the adults will be back soon. My sister Youniang and we were so happy to hear it. Hee hee, I didn’t expect the adults to come back as soon as he left."

　　"Oh?" Yang Ling tied the horse halter to the big locust tree, and asked casually: "Who is looking for me? What is it for me?"

　　Xue Limei followed the tree meekly, swiping the hair scattered on his forehead and pursing his lips: "The young man seemed to be full of thoughts, but he didn't tell us, only that he was the third son of the Book of Rites, called Wang Jinglong, also stated that I will come to visit on the day."

　　"Wang Jinglong?" The name is so familiar, Yang Ling suddenly remembered that Wang Jinglong is the true king of Yu Tangchun in history. Wang Jinglong came to the door~IndoMTL.com~ Needless to say, it was because the old Wang Qiong was detained for more than ten days, and the three university scholars pleaded with the emperor and refused. Wang Family couldn't help but begged him.

　　 I never thought that Wang Jinglong and Yu Tangchun would still meet each other. If this is fate, I don’t know if this lover, who was destined to die, is still together. Yang Ling can remember that Su San and Xue Limei in that story finally married Wang Jinglong and became his favorite concubines.

　　 Yang Ling thought to himself, and looked at Xue Limei with a weird look. Xue Limei was puzzled, and saw Yang husband staring at her with scorching eyes. With this careful look, Yang husband, who hadn’t seen for many days, looked up again. With a bit more mature and mighty masculine, her heart could not help but a hint of shame appeared in her eyes for no reason, and her pretty face like white jade floated blush.

　　Yang Ling wakes up, these things are useless, anyway, Wang Jinglong will come tomorrow, if Su San and Xue Limei are destined to have a relationship with him, then it might as well be the case. Wang Family official family, scholarly family, will not compromise They have Xue Limei.

　　 Yang Ling thought it through, so he tossed about his pleasure, handed the whip to Xue Limei, smiled at her, and walked to his own door. The door was ajar, and a scent of meat rushed forward, and Yang Ling's heart was filled with the happiness of seeing the one he loved.

　　 He quietly glanced inside, and saw Han Youniang sitting in front of the stove with his back facing her. She was wearing a moon-white skirt. The lining must have been removed, so the thin clothes lined up her petite body more than ever. She is thinner, her waist is graceful, her small buttocks are still so plump.

　　Yang Ling was enthusiastic, he stepped in the door and hugged Youniang in his waist, patted her **** with his big hand, and laughed in her exclamation: "husband is going home, no Come to greet, and perform family law for your husband, first slap thirty slaps!"
