: Slaying two marquis

Outside the Meridian Gate, the Dongchang Monk, the Jinyi Guards, and the Han generals were already in line and lined up in an orderly manner, waiting for the Silijian to send people to formally execute the sentence. At this moment, a team of strong cavalry rushed over, and the horse's hooves stepped on the bluestone slab, and the sound of thunder was like thunder.

Shi Wenyi, Qianhu, heard the sound and saw that it was a group of fast horses. He immediately came forward with a team of guards, pressed the hilt of the knife, stood proudly, and shouted loudly: "In front is the important land of the Meridian Gate, civil and military officials, dismounted and fell..."

As soon as he said this, he saw clearly that Yang Ling was rushing to the front. Only half a horse's head was a burly man holding a black iron rod in his hand. The prospect was vivid. How dare he be arrogant? Shi Wenyi turned around and ran away in fear, which made the officers and soldiers of the Jinyiwei who were following him stunned.

Shi Wenyi ran a few steps and heard the sound of horse hooves behind him getting closer and closer. He was worried that he would be kicked by a quick horse. He hurriedly flashed aside, but heard the horse hooves stop suddenly. He turned his head to see that Yang Ling had stopped beside him, and smiled and turned over and got off the horse and said, "Sir Shi, it's been a long time since I saw you."

Shi Wenyi saw that his soldiers looked at him with a look of slightest look, and couldn't help but be ashamed and annoyed, but he didn't dare to be rude to Duke Wei, so he had to hold back his anger and cross his hands and said, "I have met Duke Guo, so I have always been good at Duke Guo?"

Yang Ling thought he was his own horse servant, and he randomly stuffed the reins into his hand and said enthusiastically: "Well, I'm very good. Huh? Why are so many officials kneeling here? Next to him... Is he going to give a court stick? The court stick is not a beheading, and he gave him a delicious meal in the end. Why do they have tea and water?"

Shi Wenyi had recovered from calmness at this time. He heard this and said intentionally: "The Duke of the State is blessed at home, and the news in the court is a little blocked. He reported to the Duke of the State that these officials violated Longyan. The emperor punished them to kneel down and reflect on themselves, but these officials did not repent and said they wrote a letter. The emperor was furious and wanted to give the court stick."

Yang Ling nodded as if nothing had happened and said, "You should be beaten so much that you don't understand the rules. However, the execution must be suspended. The imperial envoy is about to enter the palace to refute the imperial edict. The matter of reporting to the emperor involves these officials. Please wait for the emperor's further order."

Shi Wenyi Yidai: "Imperial envoy? You... the imperial envoy replied to the imperial envoy?"

Yang Ling blinked and smiled and said, "Yes, my country's Duke is in the wild and he is ignorant. Lord Shi is in court, and it seems that the nobles have forgotten much. My country's Duke went to Bazhou to investigate the An Mansion and was given the imperial edict. He is about to enter the palace to meet the emperor and reply to the imperial edict."

Shi Wenyi suddenly realized, but said in confusion: "What does the Duke of the State investigated the An Mansion and re-ordered the imperial edict and......... have to do with these officials? Why should he suspend his execution from his low-level post?"

Yang Ling smiled coldly and said lightly: "Then... do you want my country's Duke to report to you first?"

Shi Wenyi hurriedly said, "Ah, Bei Zhi just asked casually, Bei Zhi didn't dare to ask. He didn't dare to ask."

Yang Ling snorted and said in a whisper: "Bangchui, look here. Your country's Duke must not be punished until he returns the imperial edict."

Shi Wenyi said angrily: "Dude, it is the emperor's will to give these officials a court stick."

Yang Ling narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "My Duke knows. The emperor has issued an order for a while. Are you still preparing? Now my Duke has entered the palace to resume the order, and the matter involves all officials. Waiting for a moment and a half will not be considered as resistant to the order?"

Shi Wenyi snorted slightly and said lukewarmly: "It's not considered a resistance to the order. Even if the order is opposed, the Duke of the State has resisted the imperial edict when he was studying. That's not afraid. But he dare not be a humble position. Eunuch Liu will arrive later. If Eunuch Liu is supervising the punishment here, he will be a small family of fine clothes. How dare he disobey?"

Yang Ling's eyes flashed and he smiled and said, "Eunuch Liu? Haha, if Eunuch Liu ordered, my country's Duke will naturally not make you embarrassed. You can just be sentenced."

He said this because he was wrong in his eyes and saw Liu Jin appear, and he quickly came up with a way to lure the tiger away from the mountain.

Liu Jin was wearing a blue robe embroidered python, and still wore a filial belt around his waist. He led a group of small yellow doors and came out of the corner gate. The small yellow doors behind had some room to carry chairs and some served tea trays. It seemed that Liu Jin was tortured, and his style was similar to Fan Ting back then, and he liked to show off his character. Yang Ling smiled slightly, threw down Shi Wenyi, and then lowered his head and walked towards the corner gate.

Liu Jin left the palace gate with great enthusiasm and was about to enjoy the show of blooming with a hundred buttocks. Suddenly, he saw Yang Ling hurried over and was a little surprised. He hurriedly came forward and said with a smile: "Duke Yang, ah, long time no see. Last time, Duke Guozhe entered the palace to worship the Empress Dowager. Our family presided over the rituals, but he didn't even bother to greet the Duke. Duke Guozhe has always been good."

Yang Ling was shocked, as if he had just noticed him. He looked up suddenly, squeezed out a smile with a little panic, and bowed, "Ah! It's Eunuch Liu, it's okay, my father-in-law is as healthy as ever."

Shi Wenyi stretched his neck from afar and looked at him, with a sneer on his lips: "These officials always say treacherous and treacherous, which clearly refers to Eunuch Liu. Eunuch Liu hates them to the core, so how can he let them go? Hehe, Eunuch Liu has the power of today, and no one can match him. Duke is waiting for the general and prime minister. Whoever sees Eunuch Liu is respectful today, let you eat a turtle and get out of dust. From then on, I know that I am already a phoenix with wings falling, and I rarely show off my power in front of me.

He was ruthless, but he had not forgotten the duties of the horse servant, and he was still holding Yang Ling's horse reins in his hand.

After Yang Ling said hello to Eunuch Liu, he kept walking towards the palace gate. When Liu Jin saw that he was in a hurry, he felt something was wrong intuition, so he stopped him and said, "Hey, Master, I haven't seen you for so long, let's talk first, what are you busy doing?"

Yang Ling laughed dryly and said, "Ah, there is no big deal. It's just that my country's official went to Bazhou to investigate the An Mansion. Today I will go to the palace to resume the imperial edict. Uh... I heard that those officials angered the emperor. My father-in-law wanted to be executed by the emperor, right? You are busy first, you are busy first. My country's official will have nothing to do when he sees the emperor and submits the imperial edict. Hahaha, let's talk in detail later."

The more Yang Ling said nothing was wrong, the more anxious he was to leave, the more suspicious Liu Jin became. When he saw Yang Ling's feet kept stopping, he even wanted him to torture the officials in front of the Meridian Gate. Liu Jin suddenly felt suspicious: "Isn't this obviously trying to send me away? What is Yang Ling going to do?"

Liu Jin pinched his chin and turned his head to see that Yang Ling arrived at the palace gate. He had not had time to put the waist card in his hand and walked into the palace. Liu Jin was so angry: "This kid must have something to do, why is the re-order to investigate the An Mansion? This is worthy of your visit to our family? Hey! I want to send me away and sue me for the evildoer? There is no door!"

Liu Jin turned around and chased after him. The father-in-law of the Si Lijian next to him said in surprise: "Dadfather-in-law, aren't you going to promulgate the imperial edict? Where are you going?"

Liu Jin waved his hand without looking back and said, "No, don't worry, let's go to the palace and then pronounce the execution later."

Yang Ling noticed that Liu Jin followed him and his feet immediately accelerated. Seeing this, Liu Jin had no doubts anymore: "He is in a hurry to enter the palace, it must be related to our family. Could it be that Zhang Zhong has any handle on our family? "

Liu Jin hurriedly thought: "No, once Zhang Zhong was arrested, all the evidence of his previous connections was destroyed."

He hurriedly shouted loudly: "Sir Yang. Slow down, slower, our family won't be able to catch up with you."

Yang Ling walked straight away, pretending not to hear it. It was not until Liu Jin opened his throat and screamed a few times that Yang Ling stopped and said in surprise as if he had just reacted, "Eunuch Liu? You... Why are you back?"

Old Liu rushed over with panting, and laughed treacherously, "Ah......this...this is the case. The emperor said that every minister outside the palace gate had thirty sticks. When we arrived at the Meridian Gate, we saw that the officials were fat, thin, healthy and weak. There were old and young. If they were thirty sticks, if they were thirty sticks, some officials would probably not be able to bear it, so they wanted to ask the emperor for decree to be given a different way of treating the law."

Yang Ling shook his head and sighed, bowed and said, "Mr. Liu is really kind-hearted."

Liu Jin smiled and waved his hand and said, "Where are the inner and outer courts, they are all the emperor's ministers, so it's convenient to meet."

Yang Ling advised: "Is it still a matter of trouble for my father-in-law to go there? Wouldn't it be over if you send a eunuch to invite the decree?"

Liu Jin shook his head and said, "How can these people do big things? We should be more at ease when we go there."

"My father-in-law is loyal to the country, admire him, admire him!"

"Where, where?"

The two of them looked at each other and laughed, but although the laughter was smooth, there was no smile in their eyes...

Seeing Yang Ling's helpless look, Liu Jin felt even more happy, so he grabbed Yang Ling, and proudly ran around and rushed straight to Qianqing Palace. When he arrived at Qianqing Palace, the emperor was not in the West Warehouse. When he found out that the emperor had gone to the main hall, Yang Ling hurried there. Liu Jin was like a one-piece man, and I would not relax wherever you go, for a moment.

When the two arrived at the main hall of Qianqing Palace, they saw that the hall was very lively. Not only two Grand Secretary of the Cabinet and the Six Ministers and Nine Ministers, but almost all the senior officials who were usually qualified to go to court to discuss politics were here, and the crowds were crowded with people. Liu Jin was just in a hurry to return to the Sili Supervisor to pass the order to dispatch troops, but he didn't know that all the Kung Fu officials had arrived at this moment.

In fact, the Six Ministry was originally on the same street. As long as one was notified, it would be natural for these officials to arrive quickly. Among these officials, there were Zhang Cai, Liu Yu, Cao Yuan and Liu Jin's party. They did not intend to plead for the officials, but it would be too obvious. They followed him and stood in the crowd to make a coax. They were neither conspicuous, could not help, and would not be criticized behind their backs. Why not do it?

All the officials knelt on the ground and were in a stalemate with Emperor Zhengde. Zhengde was so angry that he was crazy about the group of arrogant officials and determined to punish them. However, the officials were worried that this would cause more confrontation between the officials and the emperor and even affect the government affairs, so they insisted on begging the emperor to take back his fate.

Zhengde sat on the top without saying a word, but he didn't let go. The emperor didn't show his kindness, and the civil and military officials just couldn't get up. They were in a stalemate. Yang Ling and Liu Jin rushed in shoulder to shoulder. The whole hall was full of kneeling officials. There were only two standing, and no one could see them. One by one, one gaze focused on these two people.

Yang Ling leaned over and said, "I have seen the emperor."

Liu Jin hurriedly bowed and said, "I have seen the emperor when I was old slave Liu Jin."

Zhengde and the officials were vomiting. When they saw the two closest ministers arrived, they felt joy in their hearts and hurriedly said, "Plain, why are the two beloved ministers going to the palace together?"

"Uh..." Liu Jin raised his waist, glanced at Yang Ling, with a proud smile on his face, "I see what you want."

But Yang Ling bowed deeply and said, "It's a bit complicated to say about me. Eunuch Liu should talk about it first."

"Me?" Liu Jin was stunned. Seeing that Zhengde had turned his eyes to him, he had to bite the bullet and take a step forward, and repeat what he said to Yang Ling in a vain way.

Zhengde frowned and said to himself: "Didn't you persuade me to use the court? Why did you plead for them again? The officials are really so careless?"

Zhengde pondered for a moment and said, "Since that's the case, then... I'm sure. You can use torture as you please."

Liu Jin hurriedly knelt down and said, "The emperor is kind." He said, but thought secretly in his heart: "No matter what, you have to kill a few, otherwise Wang Hua and Yang Tinghe will definitely continue to be turtles with their heads."

He kowtowed and stood up, but did not go down from the palace immediately. Instead, he quietly retreated to the side of the palace and waited for Yang Ling to speak.

Zhengde said to Yang Ling again: "What's the matter with my dear friend going to the palace? Oh... but is it a re-order to investigate the An Mansion?"

Yang Ling hurriedly said: "That's right."

Zhengde looked at His Highness and knelt down on the ground, smiled and said, "My dear, tell me."

Yang Ling hurriedly said, "Yes!" and said that, he took out a memorial book from his arms and began to recite it endlessly. This thought was amazing. Yang Ling was very detailed and said in such a detail. At first, Zhengde and the officials were shocked when they heard that An Dongchen's small treasurer was greedy for so much property. But later, they became tired of the strings of numbers and described them with ignorance.

......, At some point, Emperor Zhengde yawned, opened his eyes and saw that Yang Ling had just turned another page, he couldn't help but sigh. His hands were a little sore with his chin, so he changed another one.

Liu Jin was also confused when he heard the side pillar: "This is his important matter? When did Yang Ling become a scattered woman? Is it necessary to tell the emperor about these messy and detailed accounts?"

Jiao Fang had been looking around there for a long time, and seeing that the emperor insisted on resigning. The civil and military officials kept pleading for their colleagues who were about to be punished outside the palace, and they were secretly anxious: "The person who sent the letter had been sent out of the palace long ago, why didn't Duke Wei still not?"

It was not until Yang Ling appeared that he felt relieved. Seeing that Yang Ling was dragging the emperor and his ministers were tired and their patience gradually lost, Jiao Fang couldn't help laughing secretly. After hearing a few more words, he suddenly coughed and stood up and said, "Duke Wei, tracing the An Mansion is just a small matter. You just need to report to the emperor the amount of the search and exchange the silver and the land. Now the emperor and the ministers are discussing a major event. Can the Duke be brief?"

"Boom", a silent commotion, and the spirit of His Highness and all officials suddenly returned to him. Who doesn't know that Jiao Fang is from Yangling and is now sing a opposite tune with him? What does it mean? Lao Jiao has defected to Liu Jin?

Liu Jin was also stunned, blinking his eyes and lifting his spirits.

Yang Ling seemed stunned and asked back: "Are you discussing important matters?"

"Yes," Jiao Fang immediately intervened, and then briefly explained the reason for the matter from beginning to end. Jiao Ge's old man was very eloquent, and although his words were short, the two sides had a conflict, but the focus of the debate was clear.

After hearing this, Yang Ling said disapprovingly: "All officials kneel here. I thought it was for worshiping the Empress Dowager. It turned out that this is the reason. What's the point of debate? A very simple thing is too much, but it's too much. It's really a big deal. It's necessary for all officials to gather together and fight?"

When Zhengde heard this, he quickly stood up and said, "It's just this, it's just a little bit of a joke, it's really inexplicable. I'm annoyed for this reason."

Jiao Fang hurriedly waved his hand and said, "The Duke of Wei is such a bad word. The emperor's words and deeds are related to the country and the country. Therefore, the ministers are cautious. Even if they are harsh, they will just fulfill their duties as ministers."

Yang Ling asked, "What should we do as a descendant?"

Jiao Fang said, "Faith filial piety!"

"What should be the basis for those who are ministers of the king?"

"Faithful!"

"Sir Yang, Shangshu Wang, all the sirs, ah! Eunuch Liu is here, do you agree?"

The ministers responded repeatedly. When Liu Jin saw him blowing east and kicking west, he had not yet understood his true intention for a long time, so he was careful in his heart. But this sentence was not wrong and he really had to answer. He was afraid that he would fall into Yangling's trap and dared not say a word, so he nodded and said, "Yes!"

Yang Ling interrogated: "The emperor cared for his ministers, and came from his heart and moved his actions. This is called benevolence. He was confused and he was just a trivial matter. Why should he hold on to him? What should he be the most important thing now? Why should he be urgent?

The Empress Dowager has been in a long time since she stopped her spirits, and should be buried in a grand manner, sending Ling to Changping, and burying with Emperor Xianzong. The etiquette of this son is the filial piety of the son, but the officials have seized the emperor's mistakes, and have been criticized and discussed filial piety. It has seriously affected the operation of the court's political system, making the emperor unable to fulfill his filial piety, the ministers cannot fulfill their loyalty, and the state affairs are empty and the people are all indulging in showing off their verbal benefits. Isn't this to waste the foundation and chase the end?"

The ministers were silent when they heard this. Emperor Zhengde breathed a sigh of relief, raised his eyebrows easily, and looked a little smile on his face.

Yang Ling leaned over and said, "According to my opinion, the ministers asked the emperor to reflect on themselves. The emperor should also follow the good deeds, personally support the spirits, solemnly send out the funeral, and carry the coffin to Changping to demonstrate the emperor's filial piety. As for the crimes that have been punished, I went to Bazhou to express my grudges and voices. There is one thing to report to the emperor."

Yangling told the four major corrupt officials, charlatans, horses, and bandits in Bazhou. The people who harmed the people said in detail that they witnessed the miserable scene of Ai Yuanwai's family being forced to hang themselves on the 15th day of the first lunar month. All the officials were moved by it, and Emperor Zhengde was also surprised and angry.

Liu Jin stood under the pillar with his toes, and his body arched nervously: "Yang Ling really took advantage of the problem. Is he going to take the opportunity to deal with me?"

He held his fists and raised his shoulders, and quickly calculating his words while waiting for Yang Ling to get to the point.

Yang Ling then reported the four evils and also talked about the emperor's orders to clean up local officials and eliminate all the disasters. He also recruited the horse thieves in Bazhou and appointed them as official positions. Therefore, the matter of pacifying the land of Bazhou was explained in detail.

After introducing all this, he went back to the current affairs of the court and said: "The emperor has punished the government and has been punished. I think it can start by eliminating the administration. In this way, Bazhou is like this. How can I know that no people in other places are trapped in dire straits? In this way, the emperor adopted the loyal words of his ministers and made up for one mistake. All officials can also maintain their mental state, which is of great benefit to the country and the people."
