Chapter 99

Wang San instigated rebellion

Zhengde said unhappily: "As a son, filial piety is the first priority. Isn't this unlucky to get into the tomb of the late emperor? Isn't this a big deal?"

Seeing that Emperor Zhengde was extremely unhappy, Li Dongyang hurriedly came out to speak: "Emperor, any passive land on the earth is against the way of nature. Where can we get so many mysterious things? Moreover, even from the perspective of Feng Shui, there are people who say that good fortune and good fortune in life are determined by heaven, and wise men can live a life of peace.

The so-called: 'Only good places can only be lived by moral people.' Tailing was originally a good place, so why did the Jinjing Yongquan suddenly show his signs to others and become a bad place? The late emperor was the commander of the revival of the Ming Dynasty. He was a rare wise ruler since ancient times. Could it be that the late emperor had no blessing to live there?"

He used Feng Shui to refute Feng Shui. In fact, the meaning was the same as Liu Jian and Xie Qian. He still believed that Xu Guan and Wang Qiong made a big fuss. Ma Wensheng was a little overwhelmed after hearing this. Although he always respected the three great scholars, it did not mean that he obeyed the three of them.

Officials are not allowed to be officials in their own homes since ancient times, but this system has long been in name only. Since Yang Ling and Liu Jin advised the emperor to follow this example, Ma Wensheng was furious by the officials and was extremely dissatisfied with Yang Ling's chaos in the government. Therefore, when he heard the three great scholars defending Yang Ling and others, he couldn't help but say: "The great scholar's words are bad. Since ancient times, there is a saying: 'One life, two fortunes, three Feng Shui, four accumulations of good deeds, and five readings. These are all variables that affect personal destiny and the safety of the court and the country. We should be treated with caution, so how can we underestimate it?"

Han Wen, the Minister of Revenue, was in charge of the Ming Dynasty's money bag. Now the news of the court's tax increase spread rapidly. The capital was rich and the people in some places were just a poor place, and they could only live in vain. If this decree was really implemented, he would be the first to be embarrassed, so he was the one who was most afraid of moving to the tomb.

At that moment, he also hurriedly flashed out of the class and said, "Your Majesty, the saint said: 'The noble is not in its place, it is called destiny. My destiny is the place where I am destiny. Is the fortune prospering, and the feng shui technique? What is the point?"

The three great ministers and the Minister of Revenue agreed on the righteous way of destiny. The four ministers of the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Works, the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Justice shared the same hatred of the enemy and talked about Feng Shui and filial piety. They were both in the palace and argued endlessly.

Emperor Zhengde was confused by their quarrels, so he had to ask Liu Daxia helplessly: "Shangshu Liu, what do you think?"

Liu Daxia bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I also think that the fate of the country and Feng Shui are extremely ridiculous. If Feng Shui can determine the disasters and blessings of the country, then there is no need to govern the country and pacify the world, nor does it require the wise and wise ministers, nor does it require the way of a saint. I think when the Song Dynasty was destroyed by the Yuan people, just change the Feng Shui treasure land for his former emperor, and the Yuan people will retreat their troops obediently." After hearing this, the civil and military officials couldn't help laughing.

Liu Daxia was slightly relieved when the ministers were in a state of turmoil and said, "So I don't have to worry about Jin Jing's recklessness. I can send the ministers in the court to check whether Jin Jing has been rigged or not, so I can see at a glance whether Jin Jing has been rigged or not."

Emperor Zhengde didn't know whether Feng Shui should be believed, but he always felt that it would be more appropriate to believe that it was not believed that it was not. After hearing what Liu Daxia said, he was about to call the Imperial Heaven Supervisor to go to the palace to ask if he could check the Jinjing. Wang Qiong, the Minister of Rites, said: "

Emperor, I heard that I was also witnessing the accidental death of seven soldiers from Yongquan, Jinjing, while building the imperial tomb. Isn’t this the biggest evidence to cover up? Why should I send someone to the tomb to check and make the former emperor uneasy? I think that even if the statement that damages the fate of the country is too false, these people are always true to deceive the emperor and the emperor. They should be severely punished and respectful and worried!”

After hearing this, Zhengde made up his mind and slapped the imperial case and said, "Okay! Let the Ministry of Justice to punish them, and see how long they will be stubborn!"

******************************************************************************************************************************************

On the second day of June, there were thunderstorms early in the morning, but the rain was not heavy. It was almost noon when a sedan appeared on the muddy country road in the rain.

The mighty mansion was shrouded in a miserable mist these days. Han Youniang was so scared that she was so scared that she had been to death when she heard something happened to her husband. She had been to the Ministry of Justice many times, but the access there was tight and she was not allowed to enter at all.

After the incident in Tailing, Emperor Zhengde had already supervised the imperial tomb and refused to go down the mountain. The father and son of the Han family were trapped on the mountain and could not come down. Han Youniang, a weak woman, had no way to ask for advice, and rushed to the outside of the prison of the Ministry of Justice all day, but she could not find the opportunity to meet her husband. She was exhausted and heartbroken.

Fortunately, after inquiring, she knew that although her husband had passed the hall twice, he was not punished and no one from the four ministers confessed, so she felt relieved. At this time, Young Lady had just returned to the mansion accompanied by Yu Tangchun and Xue Limei. Gao Wenxin hurried over after hearing the news. As soon as she entered the door, she knew that she had not seen Lord Yang today.

Gao Wenxin held the door and was silent for a while. He could only sigh, walked into the room and grabbed a piece of clothing and put it on the young lady, and comforted her softly: "Madam, don't worry too much to avoid hurting your body. In the past two days, people outside have been saying that the imperial court wanted to increase taxes to make an excuse for the inauspicious imperial tombs as a guise. The master was imprisoned for the sake of the people of the Ming Dynasty. The people's hearts are in a good position. The master will be able to turn danger into safety."

Han Youniang was in disgrace. When she heard this, she just forced herself to smile. Tears were rolling in her eyes, but she couldn't say a word.

At this moment, a young maid in green stood at the door and whispered: "Madam, the third son of the Shushu Wang family is here." She also knew that the atmosphere at home was very different in the past two days, so she did not dare to speak loudly.

Xue Limei raised her eyebrows when she heard this and said angrily: "What are he here to do? If my master has such a big deal, who has the time to treat his wife? Drive him out!"

Yu Tangchun hurriedly stopped him and said, "Wait, he is the son of the Minister of Rites. Maybe he can ask him to ask Shangshu Wang to come forward and plead for the Lord."

Xuelimei sneered, "Why don't he come to the door these days? People all over the world say that the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Works jointly arranged our master's master's name. His father is the one who framed our master. Will he save the master?"

The little maid in green interrupted timidly, "Madam, several girls, Mr. Wang, came alone, and did not come with his wife."

"Huh?" Han Youniang and Yu Tangchun looked at each other, with a little confused expression. Han Youniang thought for a while, gritted her teeth and stood up and said, "Some of us women, we couldn't discuss any idea. I'll go see him and see what his purpose is."

Gao Wenxin hurriedly stopped him and said, "Madam, please be a little bit slow. The Wang family is always suspicious. The wife should not come forward directly. According to the maid, it is better to find out the purpose of his visit first."

Xue Limei said angrily: "I'll go see him, and his Wang family will repay his grudges. I want to see what his third son Wang said?"

Yu Tangchun gave her a blank look and said angrily: "Your temper is only bad things when you go." She asked the young lady: "Madam, why don't I go and have a look. Mr. Wang has been here many times, and the maid is more familiar with him. First find out what his purpose is, and then make up your mind."

Han Youniang nodded and said, "Sister Su San is calm, so please give me a try."

The low and depressing thunder rolled past the sky. Wang Jinglong stood at the door of the central hall, looked at the gloomy sky, and then looked at the old housekeeper standing aside with his hands hanging down. The old housekeeper looked blank. He didn't ask him to the study room today, nor did he serve a cup of tea. Wang Jinglong couldn't help but smile, but his heart was extremely happy.

He and his friends wanted to kill Yang Ling, but they could never catch his handle. Zhao Yong made an idea to ask him to go to Yang's house to find opportunities to get dirty and frame him, such as taking some banned or over-order things when he came to the door to seek medical treatment and gifts. In their opinion, Yang Ling, a scholar, is a rural bun, and he may not understand these things, so why don't he get into the trap honestly?

But Wang Jinglong was not stupid either. Zhao Yong asked him to quietly carry bright yellow fabrics in the gift he gave. However, this method was too conspicuous and easily discovered. Moreover, he could not get rid of it if something happened, so he was always timid and dared not do it.

These people criticized the evil and political eloquence, as if it was just a matter of eliminating evil. What's ridiculous is that these young men are like the genius mouse who wants to wear bells on cats. They have a good idea, but they really want to do it, but they can't do it.

Later, Wang Jinglong saw two rockery in the pond on the back window of the study, one on the left and one on the right. Suddenly, he thought that the sky was open and wanted to persuade the Yang family to build another rockery in the pond. You must know that one pool and three mountains were a reflection of the emperor's behavior of the emperor, and there would be no evidence to climb him in.

Unfortunately, although this method is clever, he has never seen Yang Ling. If his wife takes the liberty to talk about garden architecture with Mrs. Yang, he is afraid of arousing doubts. Until Wang Qiong and others suddenly launch and take Yang Ling with thunder, he will not be able to come forward.

However, the rumors of tax increases in the capital in recent days have become more and more outrageous. The common people almost regarded Wang Qiong, Xu Guan and others as treacherous people who absorbed the wealth of the people. Yang Ling had a very good reputation among the people and became a loyal minister who pleaded for the people.

Wang Jinglong was so angry that he knew that Jin from the flower house heard that Yang Ling had fallen, and was excited to tell the story of the three innocent men forcibly bought to the Ministry of Rites who went to visit the kiln that Wang Jinglong's wife was sick and had no concubines. He was also a patron who often lingered in brothels and had some friendship with the Ministry of Rites. After hearing that he said that, he thought that the strange goods were a good person, and he immediately had an idea.

He thought that if he could inspire Yu Tangchun, Xue Limei bit Yang Ling and portray him as a hypocrite who oppressed good and forced beauty, then the good image he left for his wife to resist the imperial edict would collapse. As long as he had this thing to do, he could make up more things to arrange them, which would ruin his reputation. Who would believe that he was pleading for the people and his father's reputation would not be affected.

Therefore, Wang Jinglong hurried to the door without discussing with several friends. In his opinion, with his appearance, talent, family background, and identity, it would be easy to get a beautiful woman from a brothel.

When Yu Tangchun came to the central hall, the old housekeeper hurriedly said, "Miss Su is here."

Yu Tangchun waved his hand to him, signaling the old servant to retreat, quietly walked behind Wang Jinglong and bowed, and said softly: "Little maid Su San has seen Prince Wang."

Wang Jinglong stopped for a while before turning around and said in surprise: "Oh, it's Miss Su who is here, it's rude, rude."

Yu Tangchun said: "Young Master Wang asked her to sit in the hall, but the wife did not come with you? Young Master, there are some things in the Yang family now, and Sister Wen Xin is the designated criminal slave. If the young master wants to take her back to treat her, my wife will not dare to take responsibility."

Wang Jinglong walked to the central hall and sat down, sighed, "Wang did not come for the sake of being a slut. Wang also heard about something wrong with Yangling. Alas! Yang Ling is deeply favored and has a bright future. Unexpectedly, he joined some corrupt officials to deceive the court. It is really heartbreaking."

Yu Tangchun's face turned angry, but just as he didn't know what he was trying to come here in the rain, he had to endure his anger. Seeing her standing in front of her, Wang Jinglong hurriedly said, "Miss Su, please sit down."

Yu Tangchun owed her body and said lightly: "Where is the seat of a little maid in front of the young master?"

Wang Jinglong waved his hand and said, "Where is the lady who says? The lady is a good teacher and is naturally beautiful. Wang has never regarded the lady as a maid."

Yu Tangchun smiled faintly, avoiding the topic and said, "The young master came in the rain today, not to treat his wife, but what is wrong? If it is of great importance and it is not convenient for the little maid to know, the little maid will go and invite the wife out."

Wang Jinglong quickly stood up and stopped him and said, "Miss, wait, since the lady asked, Wang was prone to take it easy and dare not hide it from Miss. Wang came today just to make it for Miss Su."

"What?" Yu Tangchun's pretty face was stunned and said in disbelief: "Did the prince come for the little maid?"

Seeing that there was no one else in the hall, Wang Jinglong smiled strangely and said, "Miss is really just a maid in Yang's Mansion?"

Yu Tangchun's eyes moved and she said with confusion: "What does Prince Wang mean?"

Wang Jinglong sneered: "A hypocrite, he is such a hypocrite. Since he covets the beauty of the lady, he hires the lady home, so he should take care of her. It is hateful that he actually bought a charming woman like a girl home for his good reputation of being loyal and righteous. He did what a concubine was doing, but was a servant. It was really heartbreaking!"

When Yu Tangchun heard his tone, she seemed to think that she was Yang Ling's concubine, but she was usually called by a maid. She didn't know if she was a concubine or a maid, and she had any concerns about him coming in the rain. She was shocked and suspicious, so she did not refute.

Seeing that she wanted to speak, Wang Jinglong even more believed that what he expected was right. He said proudly: "Yang Ling spent tens of thousands of taels of silver to redeem the girl from the flower garden, but he acted as a slave. Who would believe this when he said it? No one in the world had eyes at that time! Humph! He also had to pretend, but it was a pity that you, girl, have such a talent and appearance, should have been cared for by others like pearls and jade, but ended up like this."

Yu Tangchun blinked his beautiful eyes. Seeing the young master's heartbroken, he almost beat his chest and stamped his feet and cried loudly. But after he turned around, he still didn't say the point, so he had to murmur: "Young Master, why did you say this? In fact, my elders treat me very much and I have never treated me with mercy."
