Return to Ming Dynasty as Prince Chapter 92: Huangzhuang Fengyun
Chapter 92 Huangzhuang Fengyun
Yang Ling came to Palace of Heavenly Purity and saw Ma Yongcheng and Gu Dayong in the hall, Gu Dayong waiting behind Zhengde, Ma Yongcheng standing in front of the case and talking. Seeing him coming, the emperor Zhengde interrupted Ma Yongcheng and smiled at him: "I told you to come later. It was too late. I didn't arrive until you got here."
Yang Ling saw the gift and smiled and said: "The emperor asked the ministers to rest more. That is the emperor’s compassionateness. If the ministers come early, wouldn’t they be negative?"
Zhengde Emperor curled his lips and said: "You have a lady to accompany you, so naturally you don't want to accompany me." Seeing Yang Ling startled, he couldn't help laughing, clapping his hands and laughing: "I guessed it, Youniang My elder sister is like a queen, and there are almost the same women in the world, haha!"
Yang Ling sounds like a laugh. Ma Yongcheng and Gu Dayong listened to him as an emperor, and had no scruples about calling her sister Youniang, so she had no choice but to laugh with him, and did not dare to criticize him.
Ma Yongcheng gave two dry coughs, accompanied laughed to Yang Ling, and quickly turned off the topic to continue to Zhengde Emperor: "The emperor, after the old slave revealed your meaning in the court room, Mr. Hubu Shangshu Han Wen Han said "The treasury is empty, and the financial officials are not the jugglers invited by the East Palace. They can be made out of nothing. Now Badaling is building a city and Tailing is also being built. The emperor should save money.""
Zhengde listened to a slap on the table and said angrily: "What is this? We Great Ming has been taxing the people, and the tax collected by the court is not much, let alone I said that I would take half of the money from the inner library. Come, just ask them to repair the gardens in Beihai, pull up the weeds, build a few small boats, and go to play in the leisure time. There are also many sayings, this bird minister!"
Ma Yongcheng nodded and bowed: "Yes, yes, Mr. Jiao Jiao Fang said: "The homes of ordinary people also have extra expenses, sometimes they will go out and play, build a garden pavilion at home, let alone the royal family. What? The imperial court has always been tolerant, such as the amount of money and food owed today, and the tax evasion, countless! Even if you only urge the collection back 10% to 20%, there is no need to ask the emperor to limit the cost'".
The Zhengde emperor turned his anger into joy and said: "Jiao Fang? Did you take the little creature to advise me yesterday and admonish the Jiao Fang? Haha, the method of this official admonishment is interesting, unlike those old masters who are always compassionate and compassionate. If I don’t listen to him, the sky is about to fall down. Well, I’m very considerate to listen to him. This is a good official."
Ma Yongcheng laughed and said: "What the emperor said is, but Master Jiao was immediately blamed by Master Han, Master Yang, Master Liu, etc., and he was so shocked that he did not dare to respond."
Emperor Hongzhi seldom traveled during his lifetime. He did not visit the Forbidden City many times in his life. Although he took his son out privately, he only walked in the market. The royal garden was naturally inaccessible, and it fell into disrepair for a long time and Beihai was deserted. Up.
Now Zhengde needs to be refurbished. In fact, the project is not big, and the cost is very little. Yang Ling has also heard him through his mouth beforehand, and vaguely heard that the courtiers are firmly opposed to this matter, but it is just to guard against it. As soon as the opening was opened, the emperor's play spirit became more and more serious, so he resolutely opposed, and be sure to tie the emperor in the Forbidden City.
From Yang Ling's point of view, this is just a trivial matter. Whether it is repaired or not has no effect on the current Great Ming, nor will it change the history he knows. This matter hasn't reached the point where it hurts the people and money, and Yang Ling has no extravagant hope to transform Zhengde into a public servant, so naturally it doesn't say a word.
Zhengde muttered angrily for a while, and then said like a frustrated ball: "Let's do this first, they don't pay, I spend my own money, you take a good look at the money bag for me. By the way, now you accompany Yang Ling to the outskirts of the city and take a look at my imperial residence. I have to go and see myself when I have time."
Yang Ling and Ma Yongcheng saw that he was in a bad mood, and they hurriedly took the will to exit the hall, and first went to see the five hundred soldiers led by Liu Biao. Yang Ling saw Ma Yongcheng, and remembered that Ma Yongcheng had sent money for Tang Yixian to redeem her body, so she took the three girls back home. He thought it was to save her family from the fire pit, but now she left the whereabouts of Yixian (an immortal) girl missing. Somewhat unhappy.
Ma Yongcheng Seeing his gloomy expression, he couldn't help but wonder and say: "Master Yang, why are you worried, what are you worried about?"
Yang Ling smiled forcefully: "Oh, nothing, yes, the last time my father-in-law sent me a silver tael to redeem Miss Tang, I only spent 10,000 tael, and I never found a chance to return the remaining silver tael to my father-in-law. I will come back later. At home, please pay you back if you take the money."
Ma Yongcheng said with an open eyebrow: "No, no, the emperor favored Lord Yang. He also gave the adult a big house in the imperial house. This value is not comparable to others. From now on, our family will need to help and take care of Mr. Yang."
He proudly flaunted: "What's more, this is different from the past. Our family has already taken charge of the inner library, and all the messengers purchased by the palace have been handed over to our family. What is this little silver?"
Yang Ling knew that Ma Yongcheng had taken over the financial power of the palace, and quickly congratulated him. Ma Yongcheng was full of joy and laughter: How big is the daily expenses of tens of thousands of people in the palace. The procurement became the chief financial officer of the harem, and he was simply sitting on the golden mountain. The tens of thousands of dollars that he saved in the past were naturally not taken seriously.
On the western outskirts of the capital, seven villages are connected into one area and all are circled by Zhengde as imperial villages. Yang Ling was ordered to stay here forever, and heard that the emperor had given him a ready-made house. There is no reason to not bring Youniang. So he led the five hundred soldiers, and then rushed back to bring his family, and then he drove Xixiao.
The new emperor ascended the throne, and the capital had settled down. Suddenly these many soldiers' movements could not be concealed. What's more, the leader was Yang Ling, which has become very popular recently, and the news spread all over the capital immediately. Zhao Yong and others who were having a banquet in the restaurant also heard the news, and quickly sent a family member to see what happened.
Yang Ling led the army to the western effect, the sun was red, and it was about to go down. At this time, the distant mountains are like smoke, the fields in front of you are fertile, and the crops are lush and green. The creek runs around the fields like a jade belt, and the atmosphere is extremely elegant.
In the crop fields of one border and one ridge, birds and frogs call, it is a leisurely pastoral scene. Youniang, Zhang's and others are happy after seeing them. Sister Yu and Xue Limei rarely see such countryside scenery. It is even more enchanted by the heart and drunk by the gods.
The house given to Yang Ling is the richest among the seven villages. This village is home to fifty or sixty families. The yards are separated by half-person-height fences, and the Qushui River Bridge around the courtyard, Lvliu Yiyi, a shepherd boy is driving her cattle and sheep home on the village trail.
There was the old woman on the road when he saw this brigade of men and horses, and they all stopped and watched in surprise. Although these people live in Beijing, they seem to have never been out in a lifetime.
Yang Ling arrived at the boundary, I couldn’t help laughing when I heard the name of this village. This village is called Gao Laozhuang. I don’t know if that kid Wu Chengen also came to this place.
But after being in this world for so long, Yang Ling already knows that people in this world still don’t know about the book "Journey to the West". It is estimated that Lao Wu hasn't been born yet or he hasn't written yet. If there is no copyright protection in this era, I can't make money from writing books, Yang Ling almost started plagiarizing, so that I can keep a famous name in the four masterpieces.
The village chief and a few squires waited at the entrance of the village early, and when they saw them, they greeted them respectfully. The village chief was not very young, in his forties, and was just as young and powerful. Seeing him dress up and talk, he is also a good landlord at home who has read poetry and books.
Yang Ling Following their lead, they came to their new home. This is a large house with three courtyards. It is a tall courtyard with a newly-made golden plaque on a black ground hanging above the eaves door: "Mighty "Bofu", the door with a red lacquered copper ring is open, and when you enter the door, you can paint a shadow wall. It seems that the original owner is a very generous family.
Yang Ling’s five hundred pro-military small villages can’t afford to entertain. Yang Ling ordered to go down early and ordered the army to temporarily set up a camp next to a large peach and apricot forest not far behind the mighty Bo’s Mansion. Disturb the place. Fortunately, five hundred soldiers said that there were more, but not too much. More than 20 large tents were tied down, and they stayed.
As soon as entered the house, in addition to the respectful welcoming village, there were people with faces. What was unexpected was that there were two rows of male and female servants standing there. Yang Ling saw the family servants who came to greet them, although they were all in green clothes. However, his expression and temperament were all elegant and gentle, and he couldn't help but secretly joy in his heart: Who said that this little emperor is not more important, this kind of humanity is really good.
Although the banquet was held in the mighty Bofu, it was prepared by the village chief and the squires. Everyone entered the house, and the family moved in for the few cages. They immediately wiped the tables and chairs and set up The banquet was opened to entertain the new owner.
Yang Ling is not familiar with people other than the senior staff. The female family members are sitting alone in the inner court. There is nothing to say except for some polite words. Ma Yongcheng only answers some words with Yang Ling, to these country buns. I don't care about it, the senior staff is a very well-behaved person. Seeing this posture, he said goodbye after a while.
Yang Ling very politely sent the senior officials and others out the door, and returned to have a drink and laugh with Ma Yongcheng, Liu Biao and several generals in the pro-military. Ma Yongcheng was full of wine and food and left with a grin. Yang Ling wanted to take the silver and wanted to pay him back. Ma Yongcheng refused to live or die and went into the sedan chair to go back to the palace.
After Yang Ling sent away the Liu Biao people, the huge yard was deserted. The two families lighted two red lanterns and hung them at the door of the house. Then they covered the door and walked around the wall. Seeing that Master Yang was standing in the blooming courtyard looking at the moonlight in a daze, the two rushed over and waited aside.
Yang Ling sniffed his nose and asked: "Why is there a smell of medicine?"
The old butler hurriedly bowed and said: "Master, the man of this house...The old owner planted some medicinal materials in the garden, and it is blooming now, so it smells like medicine."
Yang Ling screamed, and looked at his new home with satisfaction, and smiled at the sky and night, only to feel that this quaint house, this elegant and simple rural scenery makes people feel particularly comfortable, not to mention its hostess It's so cute again.
Wenrouxiang is a hero's grave, or a hero's happy nest? Yang Ling suddenly felt that if there is no desire or contention, just living here with Youniang, planting flowers and plants, wouldn't that kind of happy life be more free than the gods?
Yang Ling smiled and turned his head and saw the two family members standing aside respectfully. One of the old servants who looked like a housekeeper was still calm and demeanor, while the other younger boy was a little afraid of him and couldn't help but smile gently. Said: "Don't be afraid, I don't have any pretensions as a master. From now on, everyone will be a family, and I won't punish people casually."
The old housekeeper hurriedly responded: "Yes, the master is generous. The seats in the backyard have been removed. The master has just moved home and is exhausted. Should he rest now? The girls have already put the master’s wife’s bedroom It's settled."
After he finished speaking, he saw the gentle little empress next to him who was still stunned, so he hurriedly turned him on his shoulder, and the servant of the little cap with Tsing Yi even hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, please rest in peace."
Yang Ling looked at him strangely. He always felt that the servant was a bit strange. He thought he was a newcomer and he was not familiar with each other, so this servant was a little timid, so he didn't take it too seriously, so he was casual. Laughing: "Well, I'm slapped myself, you withdrew the banquet in the middle hall and rest earlier."
This house is really not small. There are two rows of wing rooms on both sides of the front yard and the back of the hall, where the servants live. On the left and right of the reception hall in the middle hall are two houses, one study room and one Small hall for meeting important guests.
Passing through the nave is a garden, rockery pools, curved corridors and pavilions, vines and stalks everywhere, the wind blows, and there is a fresh fragrance of flowers. Although the garden is not large, it is extremely delicate, and it has the taste of Jiangnan water town gardens. .
Yang Ling is even more happy in my heart. Now the night is late and I can’t see clearly. Take a good look tomorrow. The house in this small place is really like a fairyland. He walked across the corridor, and just passed the moon gate and entered the homes of his family members in the backyard when he heard a vague cry of crying.
Yang Ling was shocked, and hurriedly rushed over. The backyard is a two-story building with a concave shape, and the floor directly opposite is a flower hall. Two maids stood at the entrance of the hall, and they met him quickly. Said: "The slave servant has seen the master".
Yang Ling heard crying from the hall, and ignored them, and rushed into the hall. I saw Han Youniang, Yu Tangchun, Xue Limei and the sister-in-law Zhang all with sadness, Yun'er was helping from the ground A girl in plain clothes who was crying with rain.
Yang Ling was surprised: "Youniang, what happened?"
Han Youniang met him, hurriedly greeted him and took his hand, and said sadly: "husband, this family is so pitiful, you...do you think you can save them?".
Yang Ling was surprised and said: "This family? What happened?" He asked, his heart pounding, but don’t be the little emperor who was confused by others and wanted to give him a house. What's wrong with the heavens and reason, then I can't bear this sin.
Su San pulled the girl in plain clothes and said: "This girl is a relative of the old master Gao's house, the niece of the Gao family, Miss Gao, you tell my sir, my sir is very capable , Will definitely save your sister".
Yang Ling glanced at the plain-clothed girl, and saw that the girl was seventeen or eighteen years old, with a few freckles on her cheeks. She looked like Zhou Zheng, and she was gently wiping her tears.
Yang Ling hurriedly said: "What happened, please tell me and listen to me".
It turned out that when Youniang and others were eating*, they saw the scenery in the courtyard as such a fairy-like place because of the newly relocated place. They were overjoyed. Several women sat in the flower hall eating and chatting. Laughed happily.
There is a maid standing beside her. Seeing them talking and laughing, she couldn’t help showing a sad look on her face. From time to time she quietly turned around to find tears. Yu Tangchun was sitting opposite her, and when she saw her look different, she called her When I came over to ask what happened, this girl was fashionable and concealed in a panic. Later, she had to kneel down and apologize, and told the story. This tragedy made people Youniang cry.
It turns out that the owner of this big house is called Gao Tinghe, the unlucky doctor who was beheaded by Zhengde Emperor to Caishikou just a few days ago. Hongzhi Emperor took the medicine, and the bleeding from his nose kept passing away. Zhengde was angry and gave Zhang Yu, the **** who took the emperor's medicine, and Liu Wentai, the head of the hospital, were both pulled and beheaded. Can the doctor who was responsible for prescribing the emperor be let go?
And his guilt is even greater than those of the two death row prisoners. In order to make a difference, the Ministry of Criminal Affairs sentenced three people to death, while Gao Tinghe was sentenced to one more crime. The daughter is assigned to the teacher's office, and the rest are all made slaves.
There are few people in the family of the high doctor, no son, only one daughter named Gao Wenxin, who is 18 years old, and he has already been married to the neighboring village Li family. But the old lady of the Li family passed away three years ago, and the young master of the Li family had been filial for three years, and the daughter's marriage was delayed. The result is now being arrested by the Jiaofang Division.
The girl in plain clothes is called Gao Wenlan, and there is a younger brother Gao Wenju, the young man who is waiting for Yang Ling in the front court. Gao Tinghe's elder brother Gao Ting was dying early, so Doctor Gao brought his brother and his children into the house to take care of him. I thought that I would marry my daughter in August of this year, and then take Gao Wen to his knees. Fortunately, it was a little late, otherwise the only incense of the Gao family would also be pulled off and beheaded.
It turned out to have a good family, and the family was destroyed in an instant. I was originally a young lady, and I still have to stay here to serve the people who occupy my home. In this situation, how can we not make people cry?
Yang Ling listened to her narration and couldn’t help feeling embarrassed. Han Youniang grabbed his hand and said: "husband, the Gao family is a well-known big family lady. She was sent to such a place to be a waste. Are you dead? husband, will you save her?"
Yang Ling couldn’t help hesitating after hearing this. It’s just a trivial matter to ask for a person from the Jiaofang Division. It’s just a trivial matter in his capacity, but the other party is an offender, which is not something that can be easily provoked. Gao Tinghe's crime is related to the death of the first emperor. Can his relatives go out to save them casually?
Sympathy is one thing, but if you want to see the uneven road, you have to worry about yourself. What does Zhengde Emperor think about this, does he agree to let people go?
Yang Ling was hesitating. Seeing him hesitate, Gao Wenlan knelt down on the ground and begged: "My lord, please save my sister. She knows the book and is kind, and she has saved these ten miles and eight villages. The few patients have been doing good deeds, begging adults to save her."
Gao Wenlan knocked down a few heads, and the delicate forehead had already seen blood, and Youniang was even more unbearable when he saw it, begging: "husband, what a big event for the Women's Festival, people are such a good girl. husband, Since we are here, it is also a fate, how can we not save it?"
Yang Ling took a breath, and smiled secretly: Silly girl, you think husband is very capable, and Hongzhi Emperor has been exhausted for many years. Who doesn’t know the death of the imperial doctor, but none of the civil and martial arts of the Manchu Dynasty came forward to intercede. The envoys also asked for severe punishment of the relevant personnel.
Besides, it’s been three days now. If Miss Gao refuses to submit, I am afraid she would have committed suicide. If she is afraid of surrendering, now I don’t know how many guests Zhang Shuli has picked up, and it’s too late to save her. He really ended up like this, would he still be willing to come back to see her relatives and old servants?
Yang Ling thought in his heart, when he raised his head, he saw Youniang, sister Yu, and Xue Limei with the hopeful and trusting gazes, and then looked at the girl who was still kowtow with blood on her forehead, she couldn't help but sigh. , Stomped heavily and said: "Okay, I'll go! Waiting at home, I will go into the city immediately and go to Jiaofangsi."
Yang Ling hurriedly came to the camp, led four saber guards, mounted his horse and went straight to the capital. The road in the village was winding and the horses were difficult to move fast, and it took a long time to turn to the official road.
How to save people? If this is because of Zhengde Emperor’s means of revenge, and he hastily saved people, then...
A gust of wind came, and Yang Ling thought about the fate of Doctor Gao and his family. Lingling couldn't help having a cold war. He suddenly turned his head and looked at the village. The two lights in front of the house had turned into a glimmer of light.
Yang Ling secretly warns oneself: The official career is dangerous, today I am in the court and the scenery is boundless, if one day is planted, what will the end be? If my Youniang, and the girls who have been following me, they will be sent to...
Yang Ling's heart is cold: I can no longer follow the crowd in such a vague way, blindly relying on the emperor's favor, the safest and most dangerous, for the family I love, I must find a way to have the ability to protect myself. If someone tries to be against me, even if he is the emperor, then he is also my enemy. My Yang Ling only talks about conscience, not about monarchs, fathers and sons!
Yang Ling didn’t dare to act recklessly. First, I went to Jin Yiwei and met Qian Ning. I heard that it was an imperial offender who was going to be saved. Qian Ning was also afraid, but he still had some conscience. After repeated persuasion, he raised something. After following the rules of the Jiaofang Secretary, he fled hurriedly on the pretext of having important things to do.
Originally, the Jiaofang Division was subordinate to the Ministry of Rites, with one person for Shaowu, Left and Right Sile. This place is not just for the management of official prostitutes. The Division for Jiaofang is the court’s ritual and music organization. The music, singing and dancing required by the court also needs to be taught. Fang Division is responsible.
Jiaofang Division is divided into prostitutes and musicians. For prostitute men, their wives and daughters are all engaged in the career of selling laughter; while for musicians, their wives and daughters are generally singing girls. Once in the Jiaofang Division, men have been born slaves and daughters for generations. Today, many prostitutes in the Jiaofang Division are even descendants of some criminal officials and ministers who committed crimes more than a hundred years ago or even earlier.
Although the Department of Education is in charge of Shao Wu and Si Le, the court ritual music often requires the Department of Education to rehearse and perform. For the convenience of dispatch, there is also an **** in the palace who is responsible for conducting the Department of Education. This talent is The real power holder of the Jiaofang Division. Liu Jin used to be the chief **** of the Jiaofang Division before, and was later dismissed by Hongzhi because he was accused of accepting bribes. He was responsible for the bell and drum division. He played bells and drums every day, although he was still in music. Work, but no real power.
Yang Ling heard that the **** in the palace was in charge of the Jiaofang Division. He was overjoyed. Now that he came forward, even Prince Wang Yue would have to show some face, not to mention other people, even if Zhengde is there, they can’t save people for a while. Ask the **** in charge to send a sentence, and it can be delayed for the time being without sending that lady Gao to pick up the guests.
Yang Ling thinking about this, instead of going to Jiaofangsi, I ran to the imperial city first, and when I arrived outside the imperial city, I suddenly woke up. Now that the palace is closed, even if he is holding the tooth card in the palace, don’t even think about it. Called to open the palace gate, I couldn't help being dumbfounded.
near the Jiaofang Division in the south of Beijing, three steps on the first floor, five steps in a courtyard~IndoMTL.com~The brothels of Jingshi are mostly concentrated here. In the Jiaofang Division, You Shao Wu Si Kongming is holding Erlang’s legs. With tea, his eyes drooped, and he said to the person standing in front of him: "Is there still no one from the Gao family?"
The man in front of me was about fifty years old, with two squirrel whiskers, wearing a soap shirt and a green kerchief. He laughed and said, "My lord, the Gao family has been confiscated, and the whole family has been used as servants. , No one is willing to spend money".
Sikoku snorted displeasedly. The prostitutes of the Jiaofang Division include singing, maiko, and music prostitutes. The emperor’s decree has no express order to pick up the guests, so the Jiaofang Division has the right to arrange what kind of occupation this prostitute is engaged in. .
If the Gao family is willing to spend a lot of money, although Miss Gao has been a prostitute in her life, and if she becomes a family and has children, she will continue to be a prostitute for generations, but she may not necessarily be a prostitute. Si Kongming thought he would be able to grab a handful, but now that the Gao family was pushed by the wall, no one was willing to support it anymore.
He piled up the tea bowls and saw that the green hat Luck was still standing in front of him, he couldn't help but stared, and shouted: "Are you still in a daze? Go, ask some people to wash the lady off, tonight Just list to pick up guests."
The green hat rubs his hands and laughs: "My lord, that girl is very temperamental, don't offend the guests, or give her a bud first. This woman, once she has one, she will break the jar. Up".
Sikongming laughed, he laughed and scolded: "We have not come in for a long time. This lady Wenxin's father is a medical officer, the emperor's imperial physician, she herself is a goddess. Doctor, there are too many people in line wanting to taste her, so you are not allowed to move, let your words go, and the price of the leader is doubled, ha ha ha ha..."
