Chapter 317 A red apricot comes out of the wall
The common people who delivered food to civil and military officials, Hanlin Academicians and Tai students who blocked the road, Jinyiwei, servants from the Ministry of Justice, and officials surrounded by the middle all looked at Yang Ling's direction.
A strong and strong body as thick as a bear stood in front of Yang Ling, almost covering him. Liu Dabangchui, with a big beard, stood in the middle of the field, first came a reunited Luoquan bow and said loudly: "Sir, all the elders and fellow villagers...".
Fortunately, he was not standing on the overpass in Beijing, otherwise the next sentence would be "The rich ones will support money, and the poor ones will support Yang." Dabangmao stood up and shy his belly, and before he could speak with emotion, "Master Yang is lucky and resurrected from the dead", the officials rushed forward and squeezed him aside.
Liu Dabangcui scratched his scalp and muttered, "What are you doing? Alas? Who is this? I just changed my clean clothes when I got home. Who gave me so unethical? I said, sir, it doesn't matter if you squeeze forward, you throw away the fried dough sticks first."
No one paid attention to him. Maybe these officials calmed down when they returned home and saw Yang Ling tomorrow, but when they met Yang Ling, they still looked noble and reserved. However, when they were bullied and their self-esteem was seriously damaged, the pillar in their minds: when the three great masters did nothing, Yang Ling's sudden appearance really made them crazy.
They are not afraid of going to prison. What they are unwilling to be humiliated by a eunuch. In their hearts, eunuchs? Are eunuchs considered human beings? I can’t cure you, but the one who can cure you is here, the heavens have eyes!
Among them, the Yangling faction was at the forefront, so these people were naturally ecstatic. Even those who had no good feelings for Yang Ling cheered and pushed forward. It was nothing more. Even if they didn't like Yang Ling and just regarded him as a tool to attack Liu Jin, they would be happy about his appearance.
Of course, many of these officials who defected to Liu Jin for fame and fortune. They also knew that it was inconvenient for Liu Jin to pardon them alone, so they had no resentment towards Liu Jin. At this time, when they saw the welcome of all officials to Yang Ling, they couldn't help but feel uneasy:
His backer is not the towering tree that is unique to the court. Not only the people in the officialdom can see it clearly. Even the people in the folk are not stupid. Children sing nursery rhymes all the "inside Liu Jin, outside Yang Ling, and two high-ranking officials discuss male and female..."
Now the emperor's swing has been hanging on these two big trees. Liu Jin can't offend him, but Yang Ling can't afford to offend him. It seems that he has to be careful in the future.
Wu Hanchao was anxious and sweating. If someone took advantage of the chaos, he wouldn't know who would do it. But those who squeezed over were officials in the court. There were no officials who could go to court to see the emperor, and he could not force the person away.
Yang Ling didn't expect the reaction of the officials to be so strong. After answering a few people hurriedly, Yang Ling raised his hands and said loudly: "Everyone, sirs. I have just returned to Beijing for less than an hour. I have told you to be honest. I haven't had a good sleep these days and have not eaten hot soup and hot rice. I heard that something happened in the capital, so I rushed to come. I am going to see the emperor soon, sirs..."
He also made a whisper when he heard the news. He rushed over. He didn't know what happened, whether the emperor had sent a prison sentence to the emperor. Although he could ask for a 100% order to be pardoned, the emperor had not issued an order yet, and he was not in charge of releasing the people.
He had just hesitated here, and Li Dongyang, who was following the last, had already seen it.
He, Yang Tinghe and Jiao Fang were unwilling to go home. He wanted to save the person but could not order Shi Wenyi, so he had to follow all the way behind without any face. All officials walked, and the three of them were not easy to be sedan chairs. He and Jiao Fang were both older, and in the end, Yang Tinghe supported one. The three cabinet ministers met the Hanlin Academy and the Tai students and hid behind and did not show up, hoping that these Confucian scholars could play a role.
But Shi Wenyi did not dare to hit someone without Liu Jin's order, and he did not dare to let him go casually. He was in a stalemate. Yang Ling came. When he saw Yang Ling pausing, Li Dongyang knew that the opportunity had come, so he immediately broke free from Yang Tinghe's hand and shouted: "Mr. Yang, you think you're so bad. Cang Tian really opened his eyes!"
Who can't hear the voice of Li Dongyang, the elder of the three dynasties, and the civil and military officials suddenly became quiet. Master Qiao glanced at him and said to himself: "Isn't this a choice of the words I just said? Lord Li is...... Lord Li is not so worldly, right? Why is it more numb than me?"
Li Dongyang looked at him without looking at him, and rushed over and grabbed Yang Ling's hand. If there was another tear at this time, the effect would be even better, but he did not cry.
"Mr. Yang, I am shocked to hear the bad news. I am so sad that I have been regretting the heavens and jealous of talents and the country has lost its pillars. The emperor is very sad and has a long-lasting body. He has been greatly affected by the presidency in the court these days. Lord Yang should tell the emperor the good news immediately so as not to be sad."
"Ah? The Grand Secretary said that I should go to see the emperor immediately, but here..."
"Here? Oh, sirs, please listen to me."
Li Dongyang turned around and faced the officials with a smile: "I understand that Lord Yang has come back from the dead, and all my colleagues are happy for Lord Yang. This...... First, seeing you is the top priority, and second, Lord Yang is running all the way and exhausted, so he has to have a good rest tonight.
All of you are concerned about visiting Lord Yang. You can have a chat tomorrow morning or visit the door. This is a downtown street, which is blocked and has inconvenient pedestrians, and it is not elegant. Don’t delay Lord Yang’s time. Let’s spread it, ah, it’s all gone!"
"Scatter" is fine, but "all of them are dispersed" is a matter of debate. Li Dongyang did not deliberately emphasize his tone, and everyone could hear it. Scholars are all ghosts, nerds? There is no real nerd who can be an official scholar.
The civil and military officials understood and immediately bowed: "Thank you for your hard work, Lord Yang, we will see you tomorrow. Goodbye, say goodbye!"
"The Marquis is going to see the Emperor? Oh, the official dare not delay the Marquis' time. Please ask, the official will say goodbye."
There were a few flatterers who shouted directly: "Great sends Duke Wei~~~." As a result, Duke Wei didn't move the place, so they escaped first.
"Oh, oh, oh..." Shi Wenyi looked around in panic and saw that tonight it was really true that the saying "Birds and Beasts scattered" was true. The civil and military officials embroidered the clothes on their clothes, either birds or beasts. The "Beasts" scattered in a row. Who doesn't know the power of the Jinyiwei, especially in the palace, they were very familiar with each other. They had long heard that the emperor had led the filial piety for Lord Yang, so Shi Wenyi didn't speak. They were so happy that they pretended to be confused and watched the civil and military officials escape.
Yang Tinghe stood beside him and coughed for a while, and waved his hand, just like driving a mosquito, signaling his colleagues from the Tai Academy and Hanlin Academy to leave quickly. These people were all called by him. He was born in the Zhanshifang of the Hanlin Academy and served as the prince's lecturer. The Hanlin Academy can be said to be his territory. Now most of the Censorate falls into Liu Jin's hands. He is the only one who controls half of the country.
The relationship between the Tai Academy and the Bachelor of the Hanlin Academy are both myopic. Yang Tinghe made a small move for a long time, but the two big men couldn't see it. He hated Yang Tinghe so much that he walked over and shouted: "The civil and military officials have all dispersed. What are you still doing here? If you don't leave, be careful that I will impeach you and gather you to cause trouble!"
These people were actually waiting for his sign. Now that the sign was so clear, the pig could understand it, but why didn't they leave? They suddenly came like a tide. They came quickly, retreated faster, and they all dispersed.
Shi Wenyi was mute and ate Huanglian, and said to Li Dongyang with a sad face, "Mr. Li, look at the official... I..."
Li Dongyang hurriedly interrupted, "Oh, Lord Shi, I forgot something. Once the palace ban is closed, I thought that I would not be able to send a message in front of the Meridian Gate. But you are the Jinyiwei. The palace ban cannot be opened, but the Meridian Gate can be approached. Lord Yang is spared. This is a happy event. If the emperor does not know until tomorrow, the emperor will definitely punish you heavily. Why don't you accompany Lord Yang to report a happy message to the emperor?"
Shi Wenyi's eyes lit up: "Oh, is this asking me to push it all on Yang Ling? This is a good idea." He immediately approached with affectionateness and bowed, "Congratulations to Lord Yang for returning safely. I will accompany you to the Meridian Gate to report the letter to the emperor."
Yang Ling was stunned: "What's up? It's all up. It's like these people waiting here to greet me. This old fox... Forget it, I was going to save people anyway. If the emperor really wants to blame me, I will argue with him Mr. Xiya (Xiya, Li Dongyang Di No.)".
Yang Ling also pretended to be confused and said, "Since that's the case, I will go to see the emperor first, three great scholars..." His eyes swept slightly on the faces of the three of them and bowed deeply.
Li Dongyang's eyes were filled with ease and joy. Yang Ling's political strategy was increasingly showing his correctness. His various achievements in fighting foreign aggression also made Li Dongyang sincerely admire him. Now, his favor for Yang Ling has exceeded that when Yang Ling first entered Beijing, when he used a trick to protect him in front of Queen Zhang, he was sincerely happy to see Yang Ling.
Yang Tinghe was also polite than before, especially Yang Ling recommended his son, who was his beloved son's teacher. And at present, Liu Jin was really a hundred times more domineering than Yang Ling, a thousand times more abominable, and he should kill ten thousand times more. He had a more favorable impression of Yang Ling, "It's a pity that he and that guy Yang Yiqing are friends, otherwise...ah!" Yang Tinghe sighed slightly and bowed to him.
As for Jiao Fang, there is no need to say anything. Although he only saw him and communicated with him, the couple who had forgotten each other just smiled and Yang Ling turned around. When he turned around, he screamed. There were many people scared by him this day, and now he was finally scared by others.
Wu Jie appeared at some point, standing behind him like a ghost, with tears in his eyes and a smile on his face. Yang Ling was stunned for a moment before he reacted and called out in surprise: "Old Wu!"
Wu Jie was dressed in a green robe and dressed in casual clothes. There were also several men in a sturdy body, standing next to him. It should be the ones he brought by him. Looking at his face, he was obviously a little haggard and his eyes were covered with blood. In the past few days, this big man was exhausted for Yang Ling's busy day and night.
"Old Wu, you've suffered a lot," Yang Ling held Wu Jie's veteran hand and said softly.
"It's really hard to work hard for me to travel outside. Congratulations to quell the rebellion between the Japanese, Japanese and Barbarians in the blink of an eye. I will return with you. Let's go to see the emperor first. We have some time to get together."
"Okay!" Yang Ling patted Wu Jiedi's arm and said to Shi Wenyi: "Sir Shi, please."
A big drama is being sung on the stage in the palace. This drama should be the prototype of the later Peking Opera "Ganlu Temple", but the most famous scene of Ganlu Temple is the clip of Qiao Laoge's "Please the Thousand Years of Killing the Words". At this time, due to the influence of the fashion trend of the Ming Dynasty, the protagonist is Sun Shangxiang, the princess of Eastern Wu. Now she is playing the lyrics of a girl in the boudoir where the princess Sun Shangxiang heard that she was going to marry the emperor's uncle Liu Bei.
Originally, this paragraph was about the little girl who heard that she wanted to marry an uncle or married a wife. She was quite reluctant, but was persuaded by Da Qiao for a while and thought about it alone in the boudoir. She felt that Liu Bei was a hero of the age, and she turned her grudges into a monologue in the boudoir.
This part was originally Zhengde's specialty singing. It was much better than the eunuchs in the palace who specialized in opera singing. However, today, Zhengde barely made a debut in order to make his sister happy, but the joy that Sun Shangxiang should have disappeared. Zhengde was wearing red makeup, with water sleeves flying, dressed up in joy, and from beginning to end, there was a mournful tone, as if Sun Shangxiang was reluctant.
Princess Yongfu leaned on the chair, with a slightly dark eyebrows locked, and a faint sadness on her face. The eunuchs next to her clapped their hands and applauded, but she just sighed softly. She lazily picked up a piece of dessert, took a bite, and put it back on the plate boredly.
Princess Yongchun ate a mouthful of food, her cheeks bulged up, and she said um, "Sister, why don't you eat it? Didn't the imperial doctor see you? You don't have a headache or a headache. Why don't you have an appetite?"
Empress Dowager Zhang, who was sitting in the main seat, also said carefully: "Your brother is singing so hard, don't let the emperor worry anymore. Eat a little more."
Princess Yongfu lowered her eyes slightly and said, "Yes, the mother, the child is just tired and has poor appetite. It will be fine for two days to rest."
She sighed softly, holding her cheeks in her hands, she was faintly ecstatic: "Yang Ling was buried by the mountain. Who is so annoying? She actually treats him..., I didn't realize anything before, why did I hear that he died so miserably, and my heart suddenly became so uncomfortable..., Yang Ling, Yang Ling, he... was actually killed by rocks..."
Liu Jin said flatteringly to the Empress Dowager: "Empress Dowager, Your Highness, the eldest princess, doesn't like eating these things. The old slave asked the imperial kitchen to change a few things immediately..."
Empress Dowager Zhang nodded slightly, Liu Jin took two steps back, straightened his waist and was about to call Xiaohuangmen over, Ma Yongcheng, the chief supervisor of the Inner Palace and the Ministry of Internal Affairs, ran in panic, kneeled in front of the stage and shouted: "Emperor, Yang Ling, the Admiral of the Inner Factory, has returned to Beijing!"
On the stage, Emperor Zhengde had a dull facial features, and he raised his orchids and sang the songs, but he didn't hear them clearly. The Empress Dowager and Princess Yongfu were not heard clearly, but only Princess Yongchun and Liu Jin listened sincerely.
The two of them suddenly looked stunned. Princess Yongchun opened her mouth, and she didn't know that half of the pink cake fell out of her mouth. Liu Jin twitched the corners of her mouth, which was a sign of a stroke.
He shook his body and then rushed over, tightly tugging Ma Yongcheng's collar, and said in disbelief: "What did you say? Who has returned to Beijing?"
Ma Yongcheng said with a sad face: "Eunuch Liu is Weiwu Hou. The Admiral of the Inner Factory, Lord Yang Ling, has returned to Beijing. He...... He is not dead!"
"Ah?" Liu Jintengteng took two steps back. This time the empress dowager and Princess Yongfu heard it clearly. The two stood up together. The empress dowager said in surprise: "What did you say? Say it again to the Ai family. You said... Yangling and Yangqing family are not dead?"
Princess Yongfu opened her mouth and closed it immediately, but her small nose wings were twitching, her breasts were rising and falling rapidly, and her face turned red with excitement. Her beautiful almond eyes were shining with light, staring at Ma Yongcheng tightly, for fear that she would have listened to something.
Zhengde seemed to have something in the audience, so he put down his body listlessly, walked to the side of the stage and said weakly: "What's the matter, Yongcheng?"
The drums and drums were still blowing and beating behind him. Ma Yongcheng said to him again, but Zhengde still didn't hear it clearly. Princess Yongchun was confirmed and immediately cheered, turned around and hugged her sister. Yongfu's face also smiled, like a jade lily flowing with bright light.
Queen Zhang glared at Yongchun and scolded, "You are a princess. What kind of swearing?"
Zhengde heard the three words "return to Beijing". He waved his sleeves impatiently, and the sound of gongs and drums came to an abrupt end. Zhengde asked again: "What's going on? Who has returned to Beijing?"
Ma Yongcheng just opened his mouth, and Princess Yongchun was already rushing to say, "Brother, Yang Ling is not dead, he is back to Beijing!"
"What?"
Ma Yongcheng had just pulled the collar that was pulled into a mahua by Liu Jin, and was pulled by Zhengde who jumped off the stage. The 'alpha-eye' said wide open: "You said Yang Ling is not dead, right? Is it because Yang Shidu is not dead?"
Ma Yongcheng hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, yes, the palace is blocked, and Lord Yang cannot come in. Lord Shi, Jinyiwei, went to the palace gate to inquire, saying that Lord Yang is back and is worshiping the emperor outside the Meridian Gate."
Zhengde let go of his hand, looking surprised. He wandered around as if he was not awake, and suddenly raised his chest and thrust his head up to the sky and thrust his haha: "Haha, haha, ah~~~hahahaha..."
After Zhu Da’s “Hua Dan” finished singing “Lao Sheng”, he swung his sleeves and walked like flying, and ran out of the Royal Garden.
Princess Yongchun said happily: "Sister, let's go and have a look. This Yangling is so interesting, much more fun than the emperor's sing a big show, hehe~."
Princess Yongfu really wanted to run to the front palace immediately than her, but after all, she was a little older and knew the rules, so she couldn't help but look at the queen mother. The queen mother really raised her face and scolded: "Don't mess around. You are a dignified princess. What kind of morality is it to run to the front palace in the middle of the night? Your princess is in poor health, so hurry up and accompany the princess to rest. The Ai family also wants to see the queen mother. What letter do you want to know about your princess tomorrow and ask your princess."
Princess Yongchun pouted, and saw that her sister didn't dare to express her opinion, so she had to agree, held Princess Yongfu's hand and bowed to the empress dowager, and said dismissal.
Liu Jin was shocked and angry, and all kinds of tastes came in a row, but he was a person who could calm down the more he encountered major events. He could catch up with him two steps and bowed to Princess Yongfu and said, "Your Highness, do you want me to prepare some snacks and send them to you?"
"No need, oh, I asked the Royal kitchen to prepare two bowls... No, three bowls of japonica rice jerky porridge are delivered, I will have to eat the late night snack in this princess and Yumei."
"Sister, I'm quite full..."
"Eat even if you are full, so as to avoid shouting to me in the middle of the night."
The two sisters flew away like two little bees.
When Empress Dowager Zhang looked at their eloquent figures, she always felt something was wrong. After all, Yongfu was her biological daughter, and she spent much time around her than the prince. The mother and daughter had a good relationship. How could she notice if there was anything abnormal about this daughter?
Seeing the changes brought to Princess Yongfu by Yang Ling's resurrection, the more Queen Mother Zhang thought about it, the more she became inappropriate. She wouldn't be......?
Empress Dowager Zhang felt uneasy. Yongfu always lived in the deep palace compound, so she was not afraid of anything that would insult the royal decent thing, but if the things she was worried about were true, it would not be a good thing after all.
My daughter has grown up, and after the New Year, she will be in the 28th century. In the folk, she has married. So far, there is only one man Yongfu has come into contact with. Yang Ling looks like she likes a girl. I guess... No, it's time to find a prince consort for her, so as not to think about it.
"Well, tomorrow I will summon the two brothers into the palace to discuss together. They are Yongfu's uncles." Empress Dowager Zhang thought while setting up aboard the Cining Palace to visit the Empress Dowager.
Yangling stood far away from the Wumen Gate, not to mention him, even any royal relatives and nobles were not allowed to approach the palace half a step without authorization during the palace ban, otherwise he would be punished as a rebellious person.
Shi Wenyi is the Jinyiwei in the palace. He has a waist sign on duty in the palace. Even if the palace gate is locked, he can't get in. When he comes back, he can only take a short rest in the door chamber on both sides of the palace wall. However, he has a waist sign on duty in the forbidden palace. He can pass the guards, come to the palace gate, and shout inside along the crack of the door.
The news kept coming to the harem. Because the emperor was not asleep, Ma Yongcheng hurried to report that he did not dare to bear the consequences of delays for such news. Zhengde was dressed in red and his skirt was fluttering. From the harem to the front harem, he played the role of "Hongfu Ye Run".
He practiced martial arts and swords, and his physical strength was very good. The four small yellow gates behind him were exhausted and unable to breathe. This unconventional situation was common in the eunuchs and palace maids in the harem, but the guards in the harem only heard about it.
The guards along the way saw four little eunuchs beside the emperor chasing a tall woman in red, shouting "Prince, be slower", and they did not react until these people disappeared from sight.
Zhengde arrived at the palace gate and shouted anxiously: "Open the door quickly!"
The general of the Meridian Gate came up and looked around. It looked like Emperor Zhengde, and his voice was also like, but he did not dare to admit it. The four small yellow gates behind him chased after him and shouted: "Great.......... Haven't you kneel down to see the horse?"
To be continued...
