: The best and the most important

The gentle wind blows by, like a lover's hand gently blows. The warm sunshine is like a light silk as light as nothing, bathing a pair of infatuated people in its tenderness.

Ma Lian'er's bones and muscles were slumped on the ground, her hands and feet were not moved at all, and her clothes covered her body with messy clothes, and a few touches of snow-fed skin appeared and faintly.

A silk skirt covered the heads of the two people, and it was hazy inside. The two were so close that their skin was so close that they could not see each other's eyebrows and eyes clearly, just like the warmth of the snow-capped night.

The smell of the land and the broken aroma of grass slowly penetrated into the nose. Yang Ling's hand gently stroked Lian'er's elastic buttocks, and the slight red marks were stinged by the grass stems. The smooth touch and traces made people particularly fascinated by the touch.

Lian'er lay in Yang Ling's arms with a faint breath. After a while, she said in a humming voice as if she woke up from a dream: "Husband, Lian'er has finally become your person. How long can you...can you stay in Jinling? Are you willing to leave now?"

Yang Ling sighed softly and said, "No, I think...I can stay for another five or six days!"

"So much?" Lian'er shouted in surprise. She hugged Yang Ling with satisfaction, then buried her head in his arms and smirked with a shy smile.

Yang Ling asked in a low voice: "Why are you laughing at?"

Ma Lian'er said in a silly voice: "Brother Yang has no conscience. He used to be in a hurry to go back to Beijing. Now... now, he has free time again."

The soft tone made Yang Ling feel irritated, but he had no intention of defending and correcting it. He had originally cared for her and felt that he owed her. Now the two have this relationship. Although Zhang Tianshi had the words first, he still had a vague fear and worry. It would be better if he had the opportunity to make her happier, so she thought it was left for her.

Yang Ling gently stroked her body and asked in a low voice: "Do your uncle know about me and you?"

Ma Lian'er nodded slightly and said, "I didn't know. He came to ask me when you left yesterday. He heard about your identity and knew that I had already made a lifelong appointment with you. He just sighed and didn't say much."

Yang Ling also sighed and said, "Now you and I have the reality of being a husband and wife. After I go back, I will send a betrothal gift to my door. If you can get married now, please book your name first."

Ma Lian'er said quietly: "It's better... wait a little longer. No matter how bad my brother is, I am always my only relative. For my sake... He was so miserable by Bidusi. He wrote to me and said that you promoted him. He also regretted the past. I think... When he comes back, he will accept the betrothal gift, and the elder brother is like a father."

Yang Ling nodded, and the two of them were speechless for a moment, and only breathed gently on each other's skin. After a while, someone suddenly shouted: "Master General of the Factory, Lord Yang, where are you?"

Yang Ling was startled and sat up in a hurry and said, "Why did they come up the mountain?"

When he sat up, he lifted his skirt and Ma Lian'er was shining by the sun. He couldn't help but close his eyes. When the breeze passed, she realized that there was no inch of her body. She couldn't help but say shyly: "Oh! Look at you, turn around quickly, don't you see, I...I'm going to wear clothes."

Lian'er's pink and curved jade thighs are very charming, and she is shy and angry, but unfortunately Yang Ling didn't care about appreciating them at this time. He hurriedly grabbed his robe and turned his head. Lian'er sat up with pain and forced himself to put on his soft body and put on his clothes.

The two looked at each other and Yang Ling was better. Ma Lian'er had a messy bun, a blushing face, and a springy love affair at the corners of her eyebrows and eyes. Her watery peach blossom eyes, as long as she was not blind, everyone could see what had just happened.

Ma Lian'er didn't want the cup and plate in panic, so she just stuffed the white silk ball with a pink and white silk ball into the food box and lifted it up.

Yang Ling gritted his teeth and shouted to the outside world: "What's wrong with me here?"

As he said that, he waved to Ma Lian'er and led the way out.

Liu Biao led a few people and was screaming around with headless flies. He felt relieved when he saw him appear.

Ma Lian'er walked out shyly behind her, but Liu Biao seemed to have not seen her. He hurried to Yang Ling and said, "Sir, the big guy came from the capital overnight. He said there was something very important to see you. I heard that you were in Qixia Mountain and he couldn't wait for a moment. He is also looking for you all over the mountain."

Yang Ling's expression changed when he heard this. Now that the internal factory is developing rapidly, Wu Jie could not leave for a moment when he was in charge of the capital. He suddenly arrived, something must have happened in the capital.

Yang Ling immediately said, "Hurry up, I'll wait for you here and find him for me immediately."

Liu Biao and a few fans dispersed around and turned to find Wu Jie. Lian'er saw that Yang Ling's face was wrong, so she hurriedly came forward and said, "Brother Yang, what big thing happened?"

Yang Ling nodded with a serious expression and apologized to Ma Lian'er: "Liang'er, the big boss came from the capital overnight. I'm afraid there will be something urgent and important, I..."

Ma Lian'er suddenly understood. She lowered her head and tied her scattered hair, and smiled sweetly: "What's wrong? You can't accompany others to talk sweetly now. Under the moonlight, you feel sorry for it? Go and do something when you have business. Is Lian'er the woman of her mother-in-law?"

Although Yang Ling was a little anxious, he couldn't help but laugh after hearing this. He hugged Lian'er gently and said softly: "I am Yang Ling's woman. How many days do I have to do with you every day when I finish my business."

Ma Lian'er nodded with a red face, and felt sweet in her heart. At this time, someone shouted from afar: "Sir, I'm here to be a humble position."

Yang Ling looked back and saw Wu Jie marching like flying, Liu Biao followed closely behind with light steps, and the other characters followed him jogging.

Although Wu Jie is fifty years old, he has good skills. After this rush to the mountain, his face is not blushing or heartbeats. He ran to him and saw Ma Lian'er, his eyes were condensed.

Wu Jie has been traveling outside the border for many years and is the highest leader of the Jinyiwei outside the pass. His ability to recognize and remember people is extraordinary. He is the most mediocre person who makes him look at him. He can't even think of him in two years, let alone a beauty like Ma Lianer.

However, he looked worried and had something important in his heart. At this time, he didn't bother to be polite with Ma Lian'er. Wu Jie hurriedly bowed to Yang Ling and said, "Sir, I am coming from the capital. I have something important. Sir..."

Yang Ling understood, so he turned around and said to Ma Lian'er, "Liang'er, I'll take you home first, and I'll go see you as soon as I finish my business."

Ma Lian'er responded obediently and went down the mountain first with two fans. Yang Ling grabbed Wu Jie, sat on a rock, and asked, "Old Wu, what happened in Beijing?"

Wu Jie waved his hand. The monks in the fields immediately dispersed. Wu Jie then said to Yang Ling solemnly: "Master General, since you left Beijing, Liu Jin, Ma Yongcheng, Gu Dayong and others have been searching for some strange things to deceive the emperor, and let him travel around and neglect political affairs. First, they stopped Jingyan and Wu Dynasty, and then even the morning court was intermittent. The Grand Secretary of the Cabinet and the officials in the court kept writing letters to this.

Because you have a good relationship with these eunuchs, it has been said that these eunuchs were instructed by the adults to deliberately confuse the emperor. They made the emperor lazy in government affairs, and they also said that they were ambitious because they were good at seeking autocracy.

Bei Zhi felt something was strange, so he bribed a small yellow gate beside the emperor. Then he found out that a group of eunuchs in the palace recently defected to them and persuaded them all day long that Lord Yang was the emperor's trusted minister, and now he was the most powerful minister, enjoying all his glory and wealth. They are also favored by the emperor. As long as they make the emperor happier, they can also make a more powerful job.

These people were so blinded by the lard that they believed it. They racked their brains to play some juggling games all day long to coax the emperor. Now they have been seen by civil and military officials in the court as thorns in their eyes. They must try to get rid of it quickly, but they still unconsciously hang their sharp blades.

Strangely, these eunuchs were all deacons in the palace. Their power was no less than that of Liu Jin and others. If they wanted to surrender to them, they should have surrendered long ago. Why did they happen to be so coincidental that they immediately surrendered together and made such a move with everyone? This is clearly..."

Yang Ling knew it in his heart. He smiled faintly and said, "This is clearly a boss playing fists, a subordinate drinking, and Xiang Zhuang dancing with his sword, with the intention of Pei Gong."

Wu Jie was stunned for a moment before laughing happily: "Sir, have you seen it? Since ancient times, there have been few people fighting directly at the final target and directly expose their own strength and purpose.

The usual method of officials is to first find small people who are close to each other and inconspicuous, and use this as an excuse until they stab the matter bigger and bigger. When the real opponent finds danger, the entire situation in the government and the opposition is irreversible. This is the time for the dagger to emerge.

However, Dongchang and Jinyiwei were not familiar with this. They always used their power to suppress others, be powerful and domineering, and at most they would use a means of slapping and framing them. I have always been very familiar with their methods of slapping people, so I never thought that such a step-by-step approach would be what they thought of. I was worried that someone in the court would want to be unfavorable to the adults, so I have been secretly investigating this matter.

A few days ago, a few fans in the factory had a conflict with the people from the East Factory in the restaurant and were taken by their people. They said that they would not see the head of the inner factory and the big boss came out to apologize and would never let anyone go. The adults were away, and the humble official was really unwilling to be troubled, so they rushed to the scene when they heard the news.

Unexpectedly... the old man Dai Yi and Dai who negotiated with me, secretly stuffed a piece of paper for me during the argument. After returning, I saw that the inside was about the Dongchang and Jinyiwei secretly collaborating with the Jinyiwei to plot against the master. This coincided with the conspiracy of the speculative plot of the Wuzhi. I dared not neglect again, so I hurried to see you.

Yang Ling thought for a while before murmuring: "Dai Yi? Well... He was dissatisfied with Wang Yue and Fan Ting, and the news he revealed should be true, and he had no reason to lie to me. What did he say in the letter?"

Wu Jie said: "Dai Yi believed in Zhongyuan and said humble duties. Dai Yi said: "Dongchang, Jinyiwei Jian: lured Liu Jin, Zhang Yong and others to commit evil deeds, aroused the anger of the public and transferred the crime to Yangling. Yang Ling returned to the capital. All officials submitted memorials to behead him. The emperor would not agree. So he asked Yang Ling to investigate again. The emperor would agree.

When the Jinyiwei was arrested by the imperial edict, the elite guards inside and outside were buried in the factory guards. They killed them in the name of Yang Ling resisting arrest, and cut off their wings. They used their remaining power to eliminate eight eunuchs including Liu, Ma, Zhang, etc. The inner court eliminated traitors and the outer court created momentum, so the emperor's honor could not be punished, and the world would be safe.'"

After hearing this, Yang Ling stood up suddenly and took two steps forward quickly. He was so angry that his forehead was filled with blue veins. Wu Jie stood up and followed him quietly without saying a word. Yang Ling looked at the red maple forest in front of him, and his chest rose and fell for a while. Then he gradually calmed down.

What's so angry about? Since I have come to this era, I have to abide by the current rules of the game. Their cruelty to eradicate the roots is a natural way in their eyes.

Can such a dynasty still expect political divisions to vote like modern democratic society? To defeat the opponent, it is a life-and-death war, and the so-called career path is dangerous. Isn’t it the reason?

He breathed a long sigh and said calmly: "Da Zhangtou has worked hard all the way. Let's go home and have a few drinks, and then discuss it carefully."

A look of appreciation flashed quietly in Wu Jie's eyes. He bowed to him and said, "Yes, I obey my orders."

In the small hall, the two of them placed wine and drank lightly, and Liu Biao beat Heng'er to accompany them. Both of them were upper-level figures in the inner factory and there was no need to worry about it.

Yang Ling raised his chopsticks and frowned, pondering for a while, and the food he chewed in his mouth was completely unaware of the taste: Dongchang's plan is not poisonous, and it is well known that Bahu's good things he had with him. As for whether Bahu was deceived by him, there is no need for definite evidence. Market rumors are equivalent to the public opinion orientation of later generations, as long as he cannot provide counter-proof, it is enough.

If all the officials and gentry and celebrities in the court stood opposite him, then the Jinyiwei of the East Factory suddenly took action when he suddenly returned to Beijing and was not aware of their plans, and he would pull out the elites of the inner factory overnight. Even if the emperor knew about the matter later, he would be unable to make up for the situation, and he would not be able to punish him.

The most difficult thing is that this strategy cannot be solved for a while. Who is in the hands of public opinion? In the hands of scholars, the civil servants in the court are the core of scholars. This unfavorable weapon has always been in their hands. Even the emperor is afraid of it like a tiger. Who will he defend himself? It's ridiculous! Even if he has a lotus flower, how can he fight thousands of mouths?

If you cannot eliminate the misunderstandings of all officials, you will always be at a disadvantage in morality. Don’t say that you want to return to Beijing to propose policies to lift the maritime ban and benefit the people, and intend to change the fate of the Ming Dynasty. I am afraid that in the future, you will have to be trembling if you want to become this official.

Yang Ling sighed, and saw that Wu Jie and Liu Biao were also heavy, he couldn't help but smile and comforted: "Don't worry too much. They still underestimated our power. They didn't know that there were people in the Sili Supervisor, and there were also people in the Xichang and Jinyiwei who formed an alliance with us. They wanted to cover us up with thunder. Now we already know this. They know nothing about the enemy. How much will they have a chance of winning?"

Wu Jie nodded and said, "I understand that now we know their plans and have the power they don't know. It is a empty talk to suddenly attack the elites of the inner factory.

But now the situation that is unfavorable to us has caused, in addition to the Dongchang and Jinyiwei, the number of officials hating us is increasing. If this matter is not resolved, it will eventually be a big problem. We have always been a thief for a thousand days, but there is no reason to guard against thieves for a thousand days."

Yang Lingqiang smiled and asked again: "What do all civil and military officials say? Have they all stood on the side of the inner court?"

Wu Jie thought about it, showed some comfort on his face, and said, "It's not entirely true. Among the six ministries in the court, the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Rites, at least they remain neutral. As for military generals, most of them tend to be the factory supervisor.

In addition, after the factory governor returned to Beijing with one force to fight against the large number of Japanese pirates before the Haining Chao, local tax supervisors promptly handed over the imperial taxes to Beijing. The imperial envoys and some civil servants of the Hanlin Academy also highly praised the emperor.

Although this power is too small and not enough to affect the situation, it obviously has a certain effect. Judging from the situation of the investigation of the low-level post, the opinions of the three major scholars are not consistent. The Grand Secretary Li Dongyang seems to be still waiting and watching, unlike Liu and Xie, who are as despised as the adults."

A glimmer of hope arose in Yang Ling's heart. Li Dongyang had a great prestige. There was a group of people in the court who were the only ones who were in charge of his leadership. If he did not agree to deal with himself, he could divide some of the power from the civil servant group. Even if they could not be transformed into their own help, as long as they remain neutral, the pressure the emperor was under could be greatly reduced. Taking advantage of such a delicate situation, coupled with the hidden power he had mastered, it should be possible to compete with the Dongchang.

At this moment, a man walked to the door and bowed, "Master, the second tier, ask for a visit."

Wu Jie stood up in shock and said in surprise: "Second-level head? Is it Mr. Huang or Yu Yong? Didn't I tell them to strictly guard the capital and not to leave half a step? What happened again?"

Yang Ling smiled and said, "Wu Lao Wu, don't be surprised. This is a subordinate of the newly acquired land of this governor. He is helping me do a big thing. But now it seems that if the hidden dangers in the capital are solved, the matter can only be delayed."

He sighed and said, "Please come in as a second gear."

Cheng Qiyun, with a purple scarf, blue belt and green gauze robe, pretended to be a handsome scholar with a jade-like face, stepped into the hall and was about to salute Yang Ling, but saw that there were still two people standing in the room. She couldn't help but stand in a daze.

She recognized Liu Qianhu, while the other old man with a clear and bright face and a divine light in his eyes was very handsome. Cheng Qiyun looked at him curiously, and his eyes drooped slightly. Seeing this man standing behind Yang Ling, half a step ahead than Liu Qianhu, she faintly realized something in her heart. She smiled and bowed: "I am a wise man, this person is..."

Yang Ling is using her, and Wu Jie is not shameful. If you hide it, how can you meet in the future? So he smiled happily and said, "This is Wu Jie, Wu Dawei, you are your immediate boss. Come forward and see him quickly."

Cheng Qiyun said intimately: "It turned out to be him. The person chosen by Lord Yang is indeed extraordinary. Even if he has no thoughts about me, it is rare to see a man with such a calm and cold look for the first time."

In the past, she mostly saw people who smelled fragrance. She was used to seeing those people's faces. She was also used to seeing men whether the other person cares about his appearance first to determine whether he was a human being.

But she forgot that she was a manly appearance at this time. Although Wu Jie recognized this as a woman with a good appearance at a glance, whether to dress up men and women is very related to her appearance. With Wu Jie's knowledge, he naturally would not be astonished by her current appearance.

Cheng Qiyun went to the front and the officials to pay homage to each other. Her manners were very masculine. Wu Jie smiled and helped her up, but her eyes looked at Yang Ling with a meaningful look.

He has never seen the woman's talent before. But after careful examination, although this woman was deliberately dressed up, Qiu Shui was a god, with delicate facial features, and she was clearly a beauty.

Although the internal factory officials were not within the court's official system, they had never heard of women as officials. Yang Ling's use of a woman so much, he couldn't help but think a little wrong.

After seeing the etiquette, Cheng Qiyun stepped back with a smile and said respectfully to Yang Ling: "Sir, I am lucky to be humble and my destiny. We have good conditions and no risk to those named Peng. So when I saw the adult's waist card, I agreed to help the matter. According to his statement, I can be prepared to stop within one month. As for when I will go to Beijing, it will be up to the adult to decide."

As she said that, she reached into her arms, took out the ivory waist card, and respectfully presented it to her hands. Yang Ling took the waist card, which was ironed warm in Cheng Qiyun's arms, and it also had a faint fragrance.

Yang Ling couldn't help but hesitate, handed the waist card back, and said, "It's too late to make a waist card for you now. Please take this piece. I'll draw pictures and tell the inner factory that it's the second-end token."

Cheng Qiyun happily took the waist card and put it in her arms again. Yang Ling thought for a while and said, "You can let him continue to do what you are preparing, but you are not in a hurry to go to Beijing. Now there is a big thing in the capital, and I can't take care of this matter for the time being."

Cheng Qiyun was shocked, and the smile on her face disappeared. She hesitated for a moment and said, "It's no problem to find a reason to ask him to wait slowly, but...... the lord looked solemn, what big thing happened in the capital? Ah! I'm reckless, if it's inconvenient..." She said, and glanced at Yang Ling quickly.
To be continued...
