Everyone has their own thoughts

Zhengde hesitated and said: "The Tartars almost attacked Datong two years ago. When the King Dai ran to the capital to cry to his father, he had seen me once. If he met him..."

He suddenly raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Go and go, I am a guard, I can't see him. If I stay here all day, what's the difference between being in Beijing?"

The two were laughing, and suddenly a guard came in to report: "Report to the Governor, Lord Hu, is back in the city and is coming into the mansion."

The guard also knew Zhengde's identity, but Yang Ling had already ordered that everyone should not show any strangeness when they saw Zhengde, so he would not dare to see the emperor before, but just glanced at him.

Yang Ling was stunned. Governor Hu was back? Although his rank was higher than himself, he was still as an imperial envoy, and his real power was far beyond his reach. He didn't wait for a notice? This was rude.

Yang Ling was about to go to the study to meet Hu Zan, but suddenly heard the outside shouting loudly: "The imperial envoy is not allowed to break through the imperial envoy's residence."

Then another voice shouted loudly: "Your dog eyes are blind. I am Hu Zan, the governor of Datong. Apart from His Highness Dai, I am Hu, so I am the most respected one in the local area. Where can I get into trouble?"

Drink! This governor is too arrogant, right? Yang Ling didn't know how Hu Zan was an official, but after hearing these words, his first impression was that this governor was too arrogant.

Yang Ling glanced at Zhengde, pushed the door and set out, "Let him come over! Governor Hu, although his official rank is low, he is an imperial envoy under the order. Did you break through the imperial envoy where the imperial envoy is located?"

As he spoke, he looked at the eyes and saw the guards of the great inner guards stopping a civil servant. They were separated from each other. The official was gentle and gentle. He looked less than fifty years old, but he didn't look like a domineering official, and his anger disappeared a little.

Unexpectedly, when the Governor Hu saw him, his face became even more angry. He clenched his fists and walked steadily, without waiting for his master to lead the way. He walked straight into the room with high spirits.

Yang Ling was inexplicably, and didn't know where he had offended him. He waved his hand patiently, signaled the guards to retreat, and turned around and followed Hu Zan into the room. There were only Zhengde and Zhang Yong in the room. Although Zhengde was still dressed in a lieutenant clothes, he stood in front.

Hu Zan passed the imperial examination and was later promoted to the left minister of the Ministry of Revenue. It was all for the Hongzhi Dynasty. After the new emperor ascended the throne, he had not seen the emperor yet. Hu Zan looked at Zhengde carefully, hesitating and did not dare to pay a visit. Seeing Yang Ling flashing in, he immediately shouted, "Where is the saint?"

Yang Ling's face changed and she asked in surprise: "Mr. Hu, what did you say?"

Hu Zan sneered and took out a letter from his sleeve and said, "General Yang, you blocked the three great scholars in Juyong Pass. They could not enter the pass, but the military post express delivery was several times faster than yours. You are so brave, you dare to take the emperor to such a dangerous place. I will ask you, where is the Holy Lord?"

Hu Zan seemed to have taken choking medicine. He stared at Yang Ling with red eyes. Zhengde coughed lightly when he saw this and said, "I am here, Hu Aiqing doesn't need to question Yang Qing. It's because I want to leave the capital. Yang Qing is just doing his job according to the order."

Hu Zan turned around and saw the eunuch wearing a python dragon robe standing behind the captain, nodding slightly to him. He hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Mr. Hu Zan, the governor of Datong, please pay attention to the emperor."

Zhengde smiled and said, "I am calm, I am leaving the capital in vain. Few people know that you should not let it go. I know that the three great scholars are very worried about my safety. But I am here to come to Datong for an extremely important national affairs. I didn't intend to hide this from you and Yang Yiqing, but I just wanted to talk about it in a few days."

Hu Zan stood up and said seriously: "No matter what the major matter is, the ministers should share the responsibility for the emperor. How can the emperor personally take advantage of the danger? Datong is in chaos and should not stay for a long time. I ask the emperor to return immediately."

Zhengde was happy, and this governor was interesting. Even when Liu Jian and Xie Qian were present, the three great scholars did not dare to give orders to the emperor so bluntly. It turned out that he not only spoke to Yang Ling, the imperial envoy, but also had the same tone towards the emperor.

Zhengde sat in the chair indifferently, raised his legs and said, "I have said that this is an extremely important state matter. I don't want to return to Beijing before the matter is done. If Hu Aiqing wants to know more, please ask Yang Qing, otherwise please go back."

Hu Zan's face turned red and he stared at Zhengde like a cockfighting cock: "The master was worried about the hard work of the minister, the master was humiliated and died, and he sat down and watched the emperor fall into a dangerous place. If he dies, he will not redeem his sins. If the emperor does not return to the capital, he will die in front of the emperor!"

Zhengde was stunned and laughed for a while and said, "This... what's the reason? Didn't you threaten me with death? If I don't go back to the capital, I won't allow you to die. You can go down."

Hu Zan said loudly: "I come today, and I must persuade the emperor to return to the capital. If the emperor does not leave, it will be my dereliction of duty, and I will only die." As he said that, he reached into his arms. Zhengde was shocked and shouted: "You are going to take a knife to see you?"

Yang Ling also flew to stop in front of Zhengde, pressed the sword with great pressure. Hu Zan said: "Without permission, it is a serious crime of rebellion. I will never dare. The ancients were loyal and strong advice and died after touching the pillar..."

Hu Zan said while looking around, but he didn't see a pillar in the room. He said, "A gentleman loves you but not his body. He has many ways to die. I have prepared for it."

As he said that, he took out a paper bag from his sleeve, shook the powder of the medicine and swallowed it into his mouth. Yang Ling was shocked. Before he could rush over, Zhengde reacted faster and had already jumped up, rushed past Yang Ling, grabbed Hu Zan's wrist and grabbed the paper bag.

The medicine was sprinkled with Zhengde's hand. Zhang Yong didn't know what poison it was. Whether it was harmful to touch the skin, so he was so scared that he screamed. He rushed in and controlled Hu Zan. Zhang Yong asked someone to hurry up and poured water in. He wiped Zhengde's hand with a dry towel, and then washed it several times.

Yang Ling frowned and said, "Governor, the emperor personally patrolled the border for the sake of the country and the country. This major event cannot be implemented by the emperor. Why do you always play the trick of admonishing you?"

Hu Zan said angrily: "How can the Lord of Wancheng be taken lightly? The 'Tian Wood Incident' lessons are learned from the past, are you going to harm the Ming Dynasty and kill yourself?"

Yang Ling couldn't help but be furious and said sternly: "The words are all the past. Why don't you say it a little further? Why don't you say that Emperor Hongwu's blood-stained robe has won thousands of miles of country? Why don't you say that Emperor Yongle's five battles in the north and the achievements of the military in his life? Throughout history, whenever he encounters external humiliation and internal troubles, which promising emperor only values ​​civil governance but not martial arts?"

Yang Ling said passionately, "As a minister, loyalty to the king is the heart, and assisting the king is the responsibility. If you have a loyal heart, you should also fulfill your responsibility. Do you want to assist the emperor in the current emperor to form a civil and military achievements and a wise and powerful emperor? Or should you protect the current emperor well in the Forbidden City, and ask the young emperor not to leave the palace, not to understand the world, and be a nominal symbol of the court and a puppet worshipped by all people?"

Yang Ling's words shocked Hu Zan and he was speechless for a moment.

Yang Ling sighed and said, "Since the Governor knows that the emperor is here, or helps the official in the defense of Datong, the emperor is as safe as Mount Tai. The emperor has an extremely important thing to do when the emperor comes here. Can Governor Hu be willing to listen to the details of this officer's narration now?"

Hu Zan was silent for a while before bowing his hand, and said angrily: "I wish to hear it carefully!" But his tone was no longer tough.

Yang Ling smiled slightly and bowed to Zhengde and said, "Your Majesty, please step down first and discuss with Lord Hu."

After hearing this, Zhengde waved his hand and said, "You go. You go."

Seeing the two of them exiting the door, Zhengdecai sat back on the chair and said to Zhang Yong with relief: "This surname is so scary. There is nothing wrong with it, don't ask me to see him again."

Yang Ling and Hu Zan talked in the room for more than half an hour. Hu Zan understood the purpose of the emperor here. Although he was a civil servant and had been familiar with military affairs for a long time, he naturally knew that if he could bring Duoyan's three guards over, it would not only reduce the dangers outside the Great Wall, but also be extremely beneficial in the long run.

If we can really change the previous small-scale markets and make tea and horse transactions with the three guards of Duoyan. Only by turning the Hetao area into a place where the Ming Dynasty is good at defending but not attacking can we completely change the strategic situation of the Ming army being good at defending but not attacking.

However, when Hu Zan thought of the emperor coming to the dangerous place, he was frightened. He hesitated: "Datong City is high and thick, and there are tens of thousands of troops from General Yang outside the city. As the official thought, he would probably be invaded by Tatars. However, the Tatars have shortage of food and grass recently. They often send small groups of people to the rear to plunder food and grass from the gaps between our army. And they leave as soon as they touch it, which is a headache. There is nothing wrong with it, so you must never let the emperor leave the inn."

Yang Ling said: "I naturally save this, and I will never let the emperor take risks easily."

Hu Zan said again: "His Highness of the King of Dai is in charge of Datong. The emperor has a great relationship here. Will he notify the King of Dai?"

In the past, Zhu Yuanzhang was granted the title of various sons, and the thirteenth son Zhu Gui was a vassal of Datong, and was one of the nine kings in the border. There were three kings in Shanxi, the King of Jin was stationed in Taiyuan, the King of Dai was stationed in Datong, and the King of Shen was stationed in Lu'an.

Unlike the kings of the Central Plains, they have the right to inquire about local military and political affairs. The so-called "mounting horses to control the army, dismounting horses to control the ministers, and exercising the power of the border control on behalf of the emperor.

So although there is a three-sided general system here and a governor with the supreme military and political leaders, the real supreme ruler and commander of Datong is the King of Dai, and the King of the Divine King and King of Shen were controlled by King of Jin.

Yang Ling hesitated for a moment and said, "Don't tell the good things about this matter for now. When the Dai king heard about it, he would inevitably be frightened and uneasy. The Dai king's mansion was full of people. If the news leaked before the three guards of Duoyan came to discuss the alliance, Boyan Meng would definitely obstruct it."

Hu Zan thought for a while and said, "Okay, that official will say goodbye now."

Hu Zan frowned and said goodbye and left with concern. He didn't even return to the governor's yamen, so he rushed to the city to send additional personnel to arrange for city defense.

Datong Han’s fur merchant is a fur merchant that has just been established. In just half a year, it has become one of the few big fur merchants in Datong.

Since the severance of trade with the Tatars, specialties in the north and south have been transported by private transportation, which is almost semi-smuggled and semi-legal. Such a cargo volume is obviously difficult to supply the large demand of merchants from all over the country.

However, Han Lin could meet every request. No matter what grade of fur goods he wanted or how many pieces he wanted, the Han family's fur shop did not hesitate. In addition, Han Lin was generous and fair in business, and had the style of a world-wide person, so his business became bigger and bigger. Southern fur merchants went north to do business, and most of them chose to trade with the Han family.

Han's fur merchants are on the most prosperous East Street in Datong, not far from the Daiwang Mansion. On the left side of the shop is a carriage and horse carriage, and on the right is the extremely luxurious "Zhuangyuanlou" Inn. They also run restaurant business.

Since wars and heavy snow usually occur in winter, the rules of fur shops here are closed as soon as winter comes. Although a small number of guests in the Han family still come to the house, most of the servants go home and go home to winter. The courtyard is deserted and deserted.

A short man wearing an old sheepskin coat and wearing fast boots with anti-slip strips, went upstairs, pushed open the door and took off the warm sheepskin hat that could cover his mouth and nose, revealing a round red face. This was a young man with a tiger head, a tiger brain, thick eyebrows and big eyes.

He first picked up the large teapot on the table and poured it out, then wiped his mouth and said excitedly: "Dad, I saw my brother-in-law. He has now moved into the inn."

A pottery jar was placed on the charcoal stove, and fresh lamb with seasonings were added to it, rolling in a rumbling way. The meat was filled with fragrance, and dried lotus leaves, walnut kernels and other side dishes were placed on the table.

A strong man in his forties and rough facial features put down the orange-brown wine gourd and glared: "Little bastard, I still need you to say? We are rooting here. We can't let people know about your relationship with your brother-in-law. You didn't miss the stuffing, right?"

The little guy was naturally Han Mancang. He smiled and said proudly: "Where can it be? Dad? I saw my brother-in-law and followed his army all the way. He didn't see me. Dad, when will my brother-in-law come to see us? I really miss him. I miss my sister even more, hehe, my sister is about to give birth to a baby, I am going to be my uncle, and I am happy to think about it."

Han Lin scolded his son, but his eyebrows were blooming, and he was obviously very happy. He whispered, "Your brother-in-law sent the place, Wu Hanchao, the young master Wu, had just left the city the day before yesterday. There were wars outside. He was walking on the path, although there were people I sent to lead the way. I'm afraid that you haven't arrived at the land yet, and your brother-in-law has to live here for a few days."

He raised his finger slightly and said, "Ling'er is with this person. It's a matter of heaven and earth. I'm afraid I won't come to see us immediately. Don't be anxious. Ask the guys to straighten their ears and pay attention to all the movements and events in the city. Don't ruin your brother-in-law's major affairs."

Han Mancang sat on the long bench in disappointment, grabbed his father's wine gourd and took a small sip of wine, then quickly picked up the chopsticks and picked up a piece of mutton from the can, whipped it a little and stuffed it into his mouth, and then said: "

Well, Dad doesn’t have to worry too much about this. No one of the strangers in the city can hide the eyes of my friends. Who would be wary of the children running around the city?"

"By the way," Han Mancang lay on the table and kicked and said, "Did the merchants living in the Zhuangyuan Building find out? It's rare for people to come to do business at this time, but their shopkeepers are still behind and they have been living here for seven or eight days. It's really strange."

Han Lin shook his head and said, "I haven't found anything yet. Maybe it's a new businessman who doesn't understand the season and market conditions here. The housewife and a few servants stayed in the inn all day, unlike those with any intentions.

The war was in chaos, and I traveled around the country with silver and bulk fur. The servants knew that martial arts were very ordinary, and they were undoubtedly able to check their way to lead officials to borrow money. Just in case, I still asked the inn's staff to pay attention."

The "Zhuangyuan Building" is the largest inn in Datong, with a history of more than a hundred years. The princess of the first generation king Zhu Gui was the second daughter of the famous general Xu Da. This woman has a father-like appearance. Although she is ordinary, she has good martial arts skills. When she married into the Dai Palace, she brought a girl named Song and was also proficient in martial arts. Later, she left the palace and married a man and opened the top scholar's house here.

With the relationship between the royal palace of the Dynasty, the restaurant is getting bigger and bigger, and gradually develops into a gold-selling cave that integrates restaurants, inns, gambling halls and brothels. This Zhuangyuan Building covers a lot of land. Although it runs so many businesses, it has its own courtyards. Even the inns are divided into three high, medium and low-end buildings. Therefore, all the three religions and all the people are willing to live here, and the mix of dragons and snakes is the easiest place to find out about the news.

Although Datong is a place of war, this kind of place is the easiest place to make money. After more than a hundred years, the descendants of this restaurant have made a fortune. The Tartars almost attacked the city two years ago. They scared the owner and were reluctant to live here again. However, there were too few people who could use a big deal to buy the top scholar building, so they kept dragging it down. When the internal factory forces opened up here, they secretly bought it down. They still claimed to be the business of the Song family, but Han Lin was secretly in charge.

The second floor is a mid-range inn in the Zhuangyuan Building. It is in line with the identity of the fur merchant. Only the wife and a few friends came to live in this family. They rented three consecutive rooms at the corner of the second floor. One of the middle is the wife's residence, and two of them on both sides are the servants' residence.

This lady walked with great enthusiasm, acted and spoke like a man, and was extremely rude. Although she was quite charming, her face was freckled and pockmarked. But the lady also liked to wear heavy makeup and drew a pair of frivolous thin eyebrows. There was a bloody mouth under her nose. Even the knowledgeable servants in the store didn't like to watch it.

When they arrived here, they claimed that the shopkeeper's fault was delayed. The wife couldn't make the decision, so she waited for the shopkeeper here. It's been seven or eight days. Just now, the shopkeeper of the furry merchant brought a accountant and six men to the inn. The man had already received Han Lin's instructions. While sending someone to inform Han Lin, he brought a basin of water to the stairs.

In the room, Yang Hu hugged his beloved wife and let it go for a long time. He said excitedly: "I'm so worried that I'm so worried that I would have been ambushed by Yang Ling that night. Even the place where the horse hid had already been hidden. I knew that something was wrong. I'm afraid that he would have found out that he had already found out that the big house in the capital must have ambushed, so he had to escape from a distance with a few injured brothers.

I sent someone to Beijing to inquire about your news, but I heard that you caught Yang Ling and fled from the city as a hostage. Then I felt relieved that you didn't go back to the old village to hide in the limelight. Why did you run to Datong like this? The brother who sent the message didn't explain it clearly."

Cui Ying'er was also very excited when she first met her husband. At this time, her emotions eased, and she remembered that her husband was so obsessed with profit. She did not listen to her advice, but was bewitching Liu Laodao, killing Gao Laozhuang, which caused him to lose two hundred confidants in vain. She couldn't help but glar at him hatefully, and her face turned cold.

She saw the old servant who was pretending to be a writer on the side looking at her with a smile, and hurried forward and whispered: "Uncle Fifth".

The old village mentioned by Yang Hu is the mountaintop of Cuijiadi. Cui Ying'er's father and a group of old brothers were scattered across the green forest in the past. He was a very prominent figure on the green forest road in the north. When he was old, he didn't want to hang out on the road anymore. He had only one daughter, so he wanted to set up a dozen copycats controlled by his subordinates to set up their own businesses. He and a group of old brothers retreated to Panlongling in the dense forest. He relied on the accumulation of local assets and planted some medicinal materials in the mountains when he was young, and to enjoy his life.

The fifth uncle Cui Ying'er mentioned is from the old village of Cui'er. He is a brother of the elder brother of Cui and is proficient in eagle claw kung fu. He watched Cui Ying'er grow up since childhood and treated her like a blood relative.

He patted Cui Ying'er on the shoulder and smiled and said, "Don't be sad, I have heard of it. It's amazing that you can create such a big battle in the capital. After hearing this, the uncles and uncles in the copycat felt their faces shining."

Yang Hu was used to being tweeted by Cui Ying'er, and he was not angry. He still said impatiently: "Madam, since you escaped from Beijing, why didn't you kill that Yang Ling? Instead, let him go back properly. After I heard that, I really don't understand what morality to the officers and soldiers?"

Cui Ying'er glanced at him coldly, but did not answer his words, but asked back: "I asked you to come to Datong, why did you find Uncle Wu? The people from the Cui family's mountain village have retired from the world, and they are not good at muscles and bones. Uncle Wu is old, so you still want to ask him to run around?"

Yang Hu was suffocated, and Uncle Wu hurriedly smiled and smoothed out the situation: "Look at you two, just quarrel when you meet! It's not Yang Hu's fault. When you make such a fuss in the capital, the officers and soldiers have been ruthless in the Bazhou area, and many of the copycats have been uprooted. If our old village was not in the deep forest, it would inevitably be affected.

Hu Zi lost two hundred of the most capable helpers at once, and he also wanted to withdraw his village and move his disciples to hire people everywhere. When you heard your message, he asked him to come to Datong in a hurry. He couldn't draw out the capable helpers. Boss Cui felt sorry for his son-in-law and was worried that something would happen to you, so I volunteered to follow him..."

He said this, suddenly rushed to the door and opened the door suddenly. The guy who had just tiptoed to the door outside the door was startled and a basin of water was almost spilled on the ground. He hurriedly smiled and said, "Drink, the old man opened the door and scared the little one. The shopkeeper arrived, and the small land was sending basin of water."

A woman inside said with a sharp voice: "Stop being careless, I said I was only three days late, why did I come seven or eight days later? I said, "Whose vixen has fascinated you? And you, don't help him with careless eyes. If I know you're hiding it from me, I will turn around and break your legs!"

The shop clerk took the opportunity to look inside and saw the vulgar red satin cotton-padded woman wearing a vulgar red satin jacket holding the ears of the man who was hiding at seven feet in one hand, pointing at the other hand at a guy who was smiling in front of him, and scolding him with a bloody mouth.

Uncle Wu, who dressed as the accountant, coughed twice, gave a wink to the shop assistant, and said, "I will ask you to use water, let's go down first, the master and the wife are discussing business."
To be continued...
