Chapter 404

Yang Ling didn’t get up early. He chose to leave at the end of the morning dynasty, preparing to meet with the emperor before the afternoon dynasty. Let’s talk to each other first and exchange opinions. Before going out, Yang Ling ran to the front and instructed: “Don’t whisper, be quiet, the flag is holding, don’t knock the gong.”

Princess Yongfu, a sweet and pleasant little girl, because Yang Ling was so careless, she chose a sick child and a pony, which caused people to be heartbroken and want to shave off the family. The place was still chosen by his family to the door, Yang Ling. If you are ashamed, you can hide. How dare you see others.

As a result, Wei Guogong’s honour was secretly attacked, and he quietly left the village. Those who didn’t play gongs, fearing that the Huang’an would be shocked and rushed to the capital.

When he arrived in the Forbidden City, he had just dispersed, and the Emperor Zhengde returned to the Baohe Temple without breathing. Yang Fang, the deputy capital of the Imperial Academy, Zhao Jianzhi, the courtier of the Criminal Department, and Gao Wei, a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, came after him. Yang Fang was originally a member of the House of Chans. He was upright, but he was a clean official, but he had been intermingling with Wang Qiong and others, first against Yang Ling and then against Liu Jin.

More than half of the officials of the inspectorate were investigated. When he wanted to make up the vacancies, Yang Ting and his old friend of Zhanshifu transferred him back. The current deputy imperial embassy has more authority than before.

Zhengde has been exhausted by the North Korean politics these days, and he still has no money. In fact, as large as a country, and as detailed as a family, many things will eventually be implemented in the economy, without money, then no matter military and political, many things can not go on.

In fact, this lack of money is just the lack of money in the court. There are countless private wealthy people. However, the rich people cannot be stolen or robbed as a court. In the normal way, it will take too long to improve the economy. It is not a good policy or a good way to come up with it. The benefits will be seen immediately. On the contrary, many good policies that are conducive to long-term stability will always burn money.

In this regard, the emperor is not the director, Yang Tinghe is good at financial management. I have thought about a lot of ways, but now there are too many places where I need to use money, and his ideas for making up for the omissions will not play a big role. I have begun to pay attention to the country’s political and political integrity. Related, he can’t be bothered.

Zhengde knew that Yang Ling had returned to Beijing, and the two of them liked to talk privately. He estimated that Yang Ling should be here in a while, so he was in a better mood. He was holding a piece of meatloaf and was about to nibble.

Yang Fang was very serious when he entered the Metropolitan Academy, clearing up many old habits. He has a very high degree of enforcement of the “Government Examination Law”. Yang Fang has a good wind, no bribes, no fear of power, and he can’t find a handle for others, so he has no scruples about anyone. Zhengde’s perception of him gradually improved, so seeing him come in, Zhengde was not impatient.

He greeted people with a smile and showed some chairs to Yang Fang. Then he bit his pie and asked, “Is there anything I can’t say in the early afternoon, I have to chase into the harem?”

Yang Fang thanked the audience and arched his hand: “Returning to the emperor, the minister heard that the grandeur Yang Ling returned to Beijing and brought back a concubine and a daughter. That daughter is almost two years old.”

Zhengde eats with relish, biting all the pies into a crescent shape. When he heard this, he piled up the crescent moon. He said strangely: “It’s not surprising to bring back a concubine, how can there be a daughter? Oh … .. would n’t he be interested in a widow? “

Yang Fang said busy: “The emperor, it is not the case. According to the officials, the woman is the daughter of a young official. So far, no one has been granted. The daughter is also the daughter of Wei Guogong.”

Zhengde thought for a while and smiled: “This **** is also very romantic, and must be merciful when he goes to the south of the river. Hugging the daughters of other people, huh, huh? What do you tell me about this?”

Yang Fang said with patience: “The woman’s biological father sacrificed his life for the country three years ago at Ji Mingyi. The woman returned to her hometown of Jinling by Fu Ling and took filial piety. Her brother joined the army and served as a soldier. Should be filial piety for the deceased father for three years, but this daughter is now two years old, it can be seen … “.

“Well, it can be seen that for three years without a foothold, this guy Yang Ling is too ridiculous,” Zheng De patted the table angrily.

At first sight Yang Fang was overjoyed and said quickly: “Yes, the emperor, the emperor sees clearly, the emperor Guo ………”.

“He even seduce a woman who was in filial piety. Sure enough, she was good at spoofing, and was good at seducing the heart of her daughter’s house. But how could he not seduce this piece of wood?” : “My royal girl needs to look and look, and to have an identity. For you to be an aunt, where is my royal family not worthy of you?”

Yang Fang saw that the emperor was angry and couldn’t help but secretly rejoice in his heart. The emperor’s inexplicable words were temporarily put aside, and he hurriedly received the words: “The emperor, for the official, put a virtue on the head, no virtue How do you understand the etiquette and honesty and shame? For the people, the most important word is filial piety, the father died filial piety, and human relations are also commendable, but Yang Ling has negative graciousness. , The weather is lost, the emperor should be severely punished, in order to be effective. “

Zheng De squeezed his chin, which saved Yang Fang and Yang Ling from dealing with it all the time. He gave Yang Fang a glance, then aimed at Zhao Jianzhi, the courtier’s assistant, and Gao Wei, a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, and asked, “Are you all here? “

The three nodded together and said, “It’s exactly.”

Zhengde nodded and said: “Just because Yang Ling has no eyes, and the little beautiful women who are sent to the door are not going to ridicule, I should punish him severely, but if he is given a morally disadvantaged brand, then the sister will marry Is n’t it harder? ”Thinking of this, he shook his head again.

Yang Fang saw him nod and shook his head for a while, ignoring the emperor’s intentions, he urged: “The emperor, the grand duke has long been a saint, but he can’t set an example for the ministers. Corruption, ethics are lost. “

Emperor Zhengde rolled his eyes. He was most annoyed to buckle his big hat. At first, these officials didn’t buckle up his hat. He still felt terrified when thinking of it. He spread his hands. Impatiently said: “Then what do you say?”

Zhao Jianzhi immediately said: “The title should be cut.”

Zhengde laughed twice, and said, “Is it too serious? I thought that the Anglican would kill four people and commit adultery forty …”.

Gao Wei said busyly: “According to his views, he should immediately cut off Yang Ling’s positions in the DPRK and China, and let him be a member of the public for peace and punishment.”

Zhengde glared at him and scolded: “Fuck! Even when he is the father to keep the system. When the court hires people, there is a way to compromise.” The emperor does not keep filial piety. Why? Mistakes in state affairs due to personal affair. The Cypriot and Mongolian people are fighting in a civil war, and if they look at the right moment, the biggest threat to Ming and Northern Xinjiang can be eliminated in one fell swoop.

The white-banded bandits are everywhere, and they are invincible. If it weren’t for Yang Ling, how could it calm down so quickly? Cut off all his duties, you do these things for me? Well, come and come, you make a military order for me. If you can calm down the chaos outside the customs, annihilate the remnants of the white clothes, make every effort to implement the New Deal, and help protect the Ming Dynasty. I immediately cut his officials and his lords. “

Gao Wei rolled his eyes straight to choke, and was a little angry. He was a spokesperson and was only responsible for acting. Isn’t the emperor playing rogue? From now on, who the speech officer will participate in, the emperor will say what he did, and you will do it if you can do it. Everything is okay. Isn’t it the end of the worship?

Yang Fang grabbed his face and swelled red. To Emperor Zhengde said: “What should I do according to the view of the Holy Spirit?”

Zhengde said slowly: “There is a matter of priority, private morality and social responsibility, whichever is more important? No need to explain to you? State affairs and family affairs, which is anxious, do you still use me to say? Besides, people are not good for youth, Chu Zhuangwang ’s concubine was ridiculed. He is all tolerant. Is n’t I as good as a Chuzhuangwang? If you want to make a big fuss about such a trivial matter, you said that the next big day will come, even the Siyifan Congress What do you think? Do you think I value filial piety or virtue, or do you think I am a faint monarch hiding in a bird’s bow? “

Yang Fang didn’t expect the emperor to say such things. When did the emperor’s words become so sharp? Yang Ling made good use of this trick when he was defending the court at that time: to overwhelm people with power, you have to worry about the situation, you have to have scruples when you talk, and with scruples, what lethality is there? Now the emperor has given them a choice to punish Yang Ling, that is, the small capacity is not as good as the king of Chuzhuang, that is, the bird is bowing and hiding in the ground, and the king is naturally large, and he loves the courtier. What do you say?

Yang Fang really sees Yang Ling as uncomfortable, especially hates that he often intervenes in political affairs as a national official, which violates the rules formed over a hundred years. I wanted to take this matter to rectify him well, but I did not expect the emperor to go round and round. Everything happened to him. Now, Yang Ling can’t be punished. It’s about the influence of the emperor’s reputation even in Siyi. How can he impeach him?

Yang Fang endured the air and said: “Yes, the emperor considered carefully, but he was ill-considered and he was guilty.”

Zhengde chuckled and said, “You are also loyal to the state and worry about me. The speaker is not guilty, the speaker is not guilty, and I don’t blame it.”

Yang Fang grinned bitterly and said: “So, the court will retreat, please rest with the emperor.”

“Okay, please withdraw. Hey, wait, you Ai Qing are loyal and commendable. I am not only not guilty, but I still want to reward. Xiao Guizi, take my meatloaf and an adult rewards one.”

Xiaohuangmen hurriedly answered, carrying the plate down, one person gave Zhang Bishang a small patty, and the three adults put the patty in their palms, crying and praying again, and then quit. Zhengde smiled and picked up the ‘crescent moon’ that he had eaten, and nibbled up.

Yang Ling entered the Baohe Temple and saw Yang Fang coming out. The three ministers lined up, his left hand with big sleeves fluttering, and his right hand held high, unable to understand what they were doing. The three of them also saw Yang Ling, and it was reasonable to say that they should step forward to meet. Fortunately, they were carrying the gift given by the emperor. At this time, there was no fault in salute. The three did not just look at him. went.

Yang Ling stood in the corner of the temple, watching the three people leave with curiosity, and quickly took out the secret secret method of the Wu local, holding the sun and moon in his left hand, and throwing Qiankun in his right hand, and turned into the Baohe Temple.

His martial arts have not been put aside, especially the superior qigong mentality of his family. In addition to strengthening his body, he also contains a way of keeping in good health. Yang Ling compares it with Cheng Qiyun and his thirty-eight house skills. Combined, I only feel that in addition to being strong, I use it for intercourse. Even Fengyuehuakui, such as Cheng Qiyun, couldn’t help but scream, so she practiced with enthusiasm.

Wu Hanchao often admired his determination and determination, and worked harder than he was forced to practice with a stick on the mountain by his master, but he did not know that Yang Ling still had such a lack of purpose for outsiders.

“Weichen see the emperor”, Yang Ling shouted as soon as he entered the door.

There was no courtesy to see the driving in the inner hall, but he had just returned from the emperor’s mission, so he had to pay a courtesy. But Yang Ling shouted early, and when he walked to the emperor’s front to lay aside to kneel, the emperor’s “freedom, flat body” had already spoken, and Yang Ling took the opportunity to stand smiling.

Emperor Zhengde didn’t understand his heart, he snorted, he quickly chewed the pie in his mouth, and took a big sip from the goat’s milk. Then he said, “Okay, you sit down, don’t pretend to be like me”.

He took the towel from Xiao Guizi and wiped his hands. With both hands on his chin, his eyes glanced at Yang Ling. With a sigh, “Actually, I know that it’s useless to call you back to Beijing, and you can’t afford any money to implement the New Deal, encourage farmers and industry and commerce. It will take two years before you can see the effect. You are here, but you don’t want to I worry about it all by yourself, so please worry with me. “

Yang Ling smiled and sat down in a chair. He said: “The emperor, the Chinese in the court, each has their own strengths and special staff. Naturally, the officials dare not pretend to be able to speak, but the emperor might as well talk to the officials, and maybe even the officials. Can give the emperor some ideas. “

“What are you saying? No money, no money. My house is empty, but my daily expenses are not enough. If there are floods and droughts in the Quartet and unexpected changes in the territory, what should I do? I think about this every time. I ’m really worried. Why do n’t you talk? Do n’t look at me like that, I ’m not a woman. ”

Yang Ling stood up. Respectfully stood in front of the royal case, and gave a proper gift. Emperor Zhengde stood up strangely and pressed his neck around the table to look forward: “You didn’t want to do the gift just now, what’s the matter now? Let me tell you first, if you poke the leaker again, I wo n’t help you no matter how nice you are. “

“The emperor, the minister is a salute to the long live my emperor for the people of Limin in the world,” Yang Ling said in a straight line: “The emperor is pure and intelligent, extraordinary, only because of his young age, and because he has lived in the deep palace for a long time, I don’t know that the people are suffering and sexual Having fun, I heard from the emperor today that my heart was already filled with Jiangshan Sheji and the people of Limin, who could live in peace and think of danger. It is a generation of bright masters, and their officials are fortunate for the world. “

Zhengde listened, his mouth grinned and just wanted to laugh, and he quickly stopped, coughing twice, and said abruptly: “Flat body, flat body, is this the responsibility of my country as a monarch. Um … listen. You are complimenting me, but how do I sound like it means that before today, I am not a Mingjun? “

Yang Ling got up and said with a smile: “The emperor is more concerned. The emperor, you are worried about the current financial constraints. The minister really has some ideas. In fact, these ideas are based on the views of the minister. He said to the emperor, the minister is less cautious in front of the emperor, but whenever he is good for Jiangshan Sheji and for the emperor, he will say everything. “

Zhengde sat down again and said with great interest: “Then you can tell, what can you do?”

Yang Ling pondered for a while: “The emperor, in fact, is a rich country and strong soldiers, but it is not just about open source and throttling. Now it is open source to open trade and commerce, peasants and peasants. This is open source. Open source needs to dig the channel first, and now the court is implementing the national policy. It is the process of digging a canal and diversion of water. Although it is costly now, it must be persisted. If the channel is opened, the money will flow into the court house like the running water.

Another thing is throttling. In the past two years of constant wars, internal and external disputes, despite the victory, but also spent the court savings, open source has not yet been completed, financial constraints at this time, the minister felt that he should start from the throttling, save the people, to protect the country, In order to overcome this difficulty. “

He pointed to the four walls. He said: “Look at the emperor, your palace is bright on all sides, even during the day, it is also lit by candles. I am afraid that there is no place to shine, but it is not used at all. The whole palace is brightly lit at night. The large palace is nine thousand. For the rest of the houses, the land used is the best tribute candles. How much does it cost a night? If there is moderation, it will be tens of thousands of silver a month. How much can this one save?

Moreover, the emperor’s evening banquet, that is at least a hundred dishes. But in fact, the emperor ’s edible land is less than ten dishes in front of him, and the rest are all displayed. The first emperor loved the people and introspected. It was stipulated that those dishes should not be replaced every day. Generally, they will be damaged after three days. But according to his opinion. What are these things doing there? “

Zhengde patted his thigh and said, “Yeah, I’m still annoying. I sat there with a meal. The left one dish was finished with one dish. When he came up, the first few dishes were cold. I’m in the panther. The garden is much better, what do you want to eat, and I am still lazy. You are right, these places are changed. “

Yang Ling again said: “Another example is the lighting and lantern fees for the Shangyuan Festival. At least one hundred thousand or two silver at a time. If the country is tight, you may wish to save the province. The cost of repairing the palace in the palace, the internal library for rewards, the cost of service , Weaving costs, etc., the current state first, you can be frugal first. “

Zhengde said with a smile instead of a smile: “Okay, you moved your idea to my head. No wonder you said that Yang Tinghe didn’t dare to mention it. Ha ha. But what makes sense, I don’t live in the palace anyway. What do you do with such a big picture? For details, I will ask the Ministry of Internal Affairs to give a detailed report, let Du Fu scrutinize it, and then carry it out. Except in the Empress Dowager, everything will be reduced. “

“The emperor is wise. As far as the minister knows, there are many confiscated treasures in Sisku, which are piled there for weathering and decay, and no one manages them, and even caused some cobblers to covet and indulge in it. According to this example, you can now auction those confiscated items. You have no money in the emperor, but there are people in the wealthy people. You ca n’t look down on the precious stones and gems in the emperor. In their eyes, they are valuable.

Coupled with the fact that these things flowed out of the imperial palace, with a layer of emperor’s wealth, their bids must be higher. Take out these unusable things, pile up the useless things piled up in the storehouse by rats and bites, and replace them with the gold and silver that the court desperately needs. The minister believes that this will be a huge amount of wealth. “

Zhengde nodded again and again, and Yang Ling said: “These are only temporary. The royal family should always have the majesty of the royal family. There should be a place for ceremonies when the country is prosperous. However, there are some things in the system that just take advantage of this opportunity, such as redundancy. Flooding, Liu Jin had cleaned it at the time, but his purpose was really to crack down on officials and to benefit individuals. It was not really to clean up redundant staff. As a result, the gifts were all fine, but they interspersed into many people. The more Qing, the more careful this matter should be. The minister suggested that the cabinet should be studied in detail before making a decision.

In addition, when the reward cost is reduced and the military department gradually implements the recruiting system, the cost of the passengers will be greatly reduced, the transportation of the Haihe Canal will be unimpeded, the north-south logistics will be accelerated, and the loss will be greatly reduced. Posts throughout Daming are responsible for supplying officials ’food, accommodation, military service, carriages, etc. They have never been used by non-military countries. Now, as long as they are officials, regardless of official or private affairs, or even family servants, the use of posts is amazing. All these things are cleaned up. How easy is it to get through these two years? “

Zhengde touched and sighed: “I knew it so, why should I worry about this look? Hey! But these things, one is not good, it offended the palace on the top, and offended the hundred officials below, no wonder others dare not mention it. Well, It ’s just my idea. Tomorrow I ’m going to propose to the cabinet, so do n’t be too early. The queen mother and the queen are not very friendly to you. There are still a lot of officials who are looking for you. ”

“Emperor Xie thinks about Weichen”, Yang Ling took a long look.

Zhengde suddenly said: “Yes, I read your report, Jiangnan Dajie, only ran a female bandit, and now seems to have escaped to Taihang, the Ministry of Defense’s report is unknown, Miao Kui’s performance has not yet arrived, you know The details? “

Yang Ling jumped in his heart and said indifferently: “Yes, only one female gangster, Yang Kuohu, led the team to escape. Originally, she wanted to escape to Shaanxi, relying on the Loess Plateau and the Qinling Mountains to develop again, but the Miao Gong Gong broke through their knowledge. Trick, gather heavy soldiers on the Western Front, white clothes remnant failed, and fled back to Taihang Mountain to become a bandit. “

Zhengde said with a smile: “Always come and go. They can only do the life of a thief. Now I can rest assured that a female bandit can’t do anything big. Otherwise, I can’t continue to use the army. I can’t afford it. But even if In this way, I still have to suppress it, but I do n’t need to do much. “.

He said that he suddenly remembered that Yang Fang impeached Yang Ling. He didn’t need to distort his mouth, and glanced at him with a smile, saying, “I heard that you have a woman in Jinling, and you already have a daughter?”

Yang Ling said: “Someone reported to the Emperor so soon?” He didn’t care, immediately lifted his robe, and shouted: “Sinners are guilty and fearful.”

“Okay, don’t pretend to be garlic, you have the ability, isn’t Yang Kuahu not a female bandit? Why didn’t you seduce her back? If you hooked her up, how much money would I save? Too ugly? “

Yang Lingqian smiled and said: “Then … Do you want the emperor to send a minister to go again, and the minister will serve the girl?”

“People? What do you mean?”

“Oh, it’s a matter of purpose.”

Emperor Zhengde snorted angrily: “If you want to go, you must first dress me up and marry an immortal.”

At this time, Xiao Guizi came on tiptoe and whispered: “Emperor, you should be in the afternoon.”

Zhengde nodded and said, “I’m going up, there are still many things I want to talk to you about, but now the money has been settled, and my urgency has been resolved. I finally have a heart in my mind. You just came back, many Resting in Fufu, you do n’t have to go up to anything, just go directly to Leopard Park to find me. “

“By the way, Yongfu has already gone to Huang’an, you are fine to go to the door.”

“Ah? The courtier is a man. Go to Ni’an more often?”

“Nonsense, isn’t Yumei not yet a monk? It’s a practice, you advise me to persuade her, what kind of young and monk? Yang Qing, you must help me with this matter, I will give it now With your will, you are allowed to act cheaply, no matter what method you use, as long as Yumei does not become a monk, I will not blame you. “

“What can a clerk do? A tycoon can’t tie back your high princess?”

“You can do it, I’m up. Right, take this!” Zhengde picked up the plate and snapped the last piece of meatloaf into Yang Ling’s palm.

Yang Ling keeps his eyes open: “What is this?”

“Meatloaf, don’t waste it, be frugal in extraordinary times.”

Emperor Zhengde hurried up, Yang Ling holding the meatloaf, and then he realized what happened to Yang Fang and the model.
