Chapter 152: Uncle returns home

As soon as Yang Ling arrived, Cheng Qiyun changed into the clothes of the factory governor. She couldn't ride a horse, and she didn't look like a rough and brave guard, so she had to change into a set of Gao Wenxin's clothes and pretended to be the maid Yang Ling was injured and hired to serve.

The narrow-sleeved blue shirt is covered with a light pink little bijak on the outside, two bunches of black hair hanging behind the shoulders, and the bangs are lightly combed on the forehead. Although they are not covered with makeup, they are still beautiful and charming, just like a natural look.

With a slim figure, pretty appearance, and spring-like eyes, it is a girl of eighteen or nineteen years old. It is difficult to tell the age of a beautiful woman, let alone her charming beauty.

Yang Ling was covered in white cloth and dyed with red marks everywhere. Gao Wenxin's hands and feet were too much, and he didn't know how much the injury was.

Cheng Qiyun smiled and picked up the paint from Yang Ling's face, tilted her head and looked around with satisfaction, um... she looked haggard and pale, and the bandages and bloodstains were really 'I feel pity for you'.

She smiled slightly, and a small wine vortex appeared on her right cheek, and joked to Yang Ling: "The lord has gone to the Golden Palace in this way. There are many people who will relieve their hatred when they see it, but if they return home like this, they will probably feel heartbroken."

Ma Lian'er smiled and had a shallow dimples on her cheeks, but Cheng Qiyun only had her right cheek. The appearance of both of them was the best choice among the beauties Yang Ling had seen. She was full of beauty, and she was full of charm when she smiled.

But Ma Lian'er's charming and charming expression was naturally charming, and even she could not hide her.

Even though she was full of sadness and tears, her eyebrows, eyes and facial features were also charming. If she had not known her character well, if she had expressed her sadness to others, it would be difficult to believe her sincerity. Yang Ling had first met her, because of her appearance, she had greatly reduced her affectionate confession to her because of her appearance.

Cheng Qiyun is charming, charming, elegant, pure, cute, naive, tender, and charming. No matter what she looks like, all kinds of expressions and expressions are not only similar in appearance, but also in spirit.

But no matter how much a woman disguises herself, if she had met her son in front of a man, the most impressive scene in the man's heart would probably be the ecstasy scene. Although other expressions confusing their eyes, they were already very confused, so Yang Ling was unmoved.

He raised his eyes of "Wu Shen" and said, "How is it? Is it like? Those guys are all old men in the officialdom, can they hide it?"

Cheng Qiyun said sweetly: "The makeup of humble men is enough to cover people's ears and ears. The two scars created by Miss Gao's wonderful hands are even more vivid, but... I think the adults are too worried. There is no one Guan'er who dares to take off his clothes and test the injury after he returns to Beijing. Who dares to be so ignorant?"

Yang Ling frowned slightly and said worriedly: "I am not worried about whether the emperor can withstand the pressure of all officials. Logically speaking, the emperor has mastered the regiment camp, the Beijing camp and the inner court, and has also implanted the headless case into the East Factory. Their momentum has declined. They will inevitably have a different intention within them, and it is difficult for them to unite.

I am afraid that the foreign court will retreat when it sees the opportunity, and then stop and find another opportunity. Now that the regime is on the side of the emperor, the foreign court has the right to speak. Their strength is not damaged at all. In the future, the inner and outer courts have equal strength and constant disputes with each other, which will never be beneficial to the country and the people."

Cheng Qiyun's mouth showed a little sarcastic look and said, "Don't worry, those officials regard themselves as saints and disciples. Although they always keep the country and the country on their lips, they cherish their personal feathers much more than that. The officials next to them have the choice of advance and retreat. If the three great scholars do not insist on giving advice, they will lose their reputation."

She suddenly thought of something when she said this, gave Yang Ling a pretty look, and said softly: "You are the only scholar who is adaptable, unrestrained, and regardless of personal reputation."

When Yang Ling heard her voice a little soft, she looked up and saw Cheng Qiyun smiled like a mystery, and the corners of her eyebrows showed a charming charm of a mature woman. The snow-like cheeks were like a layer of light rouge. The flowing eyes were staring at her. Suddenly, she felt relieved that she was pointing to something, and she didn't feel a heat on her face.

Gao Wenxin was making realistic and fake scars on Yang Ling's legs. She kept thinking about the conversation between the two. Seeing the strange expressions of the two, she always felt that there seemed to be a secret between them that was not worthy of being told by others. A strange expression appeared in her bright beautiful eyes.

But she turned her head obediently and said nothing. Although she was clumsy in her plan, she knew that her master was safe this time, and Cheng Qiyun offered many suggestions.

Moreover, the most critical battle was that Cheng Qiyun used her body as bait and attracted more than 20,000 fans to go out of Beijing, which ensured that Yangling had cleanly solved the East Factory without causing chaos in the capital to give the foreign court a handle.

Gao Wenxin saw the hardship she suffered over the past few days and nights. As bait, they almost fell into the siege of Dongchang's land several times. Cheng Qiyun was calmly commanding, leading thousands of troops to run around the plain until they were trapped and were unable to fight and ordered to retreat to the garrison.

The situation in Beijing is now treacherous, and the danger of the master has not been resolved. Dailouer is good at dancing, which is of great help to him. How can he ignore the overall situation and confine his personal prejudices?

It is difficult for a smart woman to abandon her personal prejudice and accept another woman, but she can make friends with her for the sake of the man she likes.

Liu Jin led three thousand Beijing troops to receive Yang Ling in Gu'an. Although he had known Yang Ling was safe, he was still shocked when he got into the car and saw Yang Ling's appearance.

Yang Ling is now lying in a big cart, Cheng Qiyun and Gao Wenxin are on another cart, and the wounded soldiers are also dismounted and ride on the cart, sleeping like dead pigs one by one.

Yang Ling leaned on the thick cushion and saw Liu Jin wearing a blue eunuch robe with a spring breeze and joyful face. He couldn't help but smile and said, "Is everything good in Beijing?"

Liu Jin said: "There are soldiers from the East Factory everywhere outside the capital. The emperor is worried that you will have few people. If something goes wrong, so when I get the news in the morning, I will order our family to lead the army out of the capital to pick you up. At that time, all the officials had not yet attended court.

However, I asked Qiu Ju and the others to report any news at any time. Just now, the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet Liu Jian and Xie Ting wrote another letter to demand that our family and Da Yong behead their heads, otherwise they would resign and not do anything. Hehe... The emperor agreed without saying a word! Hehehe..."

Generally speaking, resignation and serving tea to the guests is a truth. Responding tea is not to serve tea, but to imply that the guests leave. Resignation is not the original intention, but to show his determination. Like a tug of war, bargaining between the emperor's polite refusal and the ministers, and trying to reach a consensus. Unexpectedly, the young emperor Zhengde is too personal and does not even have the official practice of resigning once.

Liu Jin looked very proud. After laughing, he looked flattered and said to Yang Ling gratefully: "Mr. Yang, our family, Lao Zhang and Lao Ma, Da Yong are very grateful to you. Not only did Lord Yang save our lives, but we have a great success today. It depends entirely on the power of Lord. I am really grateful."

Yang Ling did not give any opinions on what position they held, but Zhengde nodded in agreement when he asked him. He remembered that these gentlemen in history seemed to have not died well. Although they were recommended today, they could buy a friendship, who knows if they would be implicated in the future?

However, the eight political idiots knew that the civil and military officials in the court were advising to kill them, but they were always slow to think that it was the intimidation of civil officials. If the emperor was spoiled by him, he would be safe. If Yang Ling had not made any suggestions and the foreign court advised Yang Ling to kill him, he would have to retreat to the next best. He would have been in trouble with them now, and now he has a high position, which is indeed thanks to Yang Ling.

When Yang Ling heard that Liu Jian and Xie Qian were dismissed from office after hearing that they were advised, he immediately asked, "What about Li Dongyang?"

Liu Jin said proudly: "When Li Dongyang heard that our family had become an internal minister and had the team camp, he didn't even dare to put another fart. Why would he be afraid of such a coward?"

Li Dongyang is a coward? He was timid and did not dare to stop the sedan chair and whip him when the queen's eldest brother, Zhang Heling, was in full swing. Yang Ling shook his head gently, thought for a while, and said, "What are the reactions of all the officials in the court?"

Liu Jin glared and said, "What's the reaction? I haven't heard of this. I guess... I'll go and see them off."

Yang Ling was amused and laughed and knew that although Liu Jin was a scheming person, he was a newcomer in the officialdom. His political experience was not as good as Gu Dayong, who had been in the East Factory for a period of time. He was still very naive without tempering his official experience, and he could not discuss anything with him.

He lifted the cushion upwards, raised his head and pondered: "Who will make up for the two cabinet ministers who resigned?"

Liu Jin said naively: "There are so many officials in the world, are you still afraid that no one will come to be the one? Why should you worry about this?"

Yang Ling sighed, "The inner court is now in the hands of my father-in-law, but what about the outer court? If the cabinet does not have anyone to speak for us, the newly promoted Grand Secretary will still be enemies of us. Can we still ask the emperor to withdraw people in batches?"

Liu Jin could understand the benefits and immediately realized the benefits and said viciously: "Yes, this is a good opportunity to drive away all these old guys who don't like us, and Li Dongyang also asked him to give way and replace them all with our people."

Yang Ling shook his head and said, "Li Dongyang has to stay. How can I do if there is no experienced old minister in the center of the court? As long as two more suitable candidates are arranged, we will not be embarrassed by us, and Grand Secretary Li will be unable to support him."

Yang Ling actually still has some selfish intentions. Now that Liu Jian and Xie Qian resign, Li Dongyang's reputation has been damaged, he has no choice but to take him as the leader in the court. Others have too young qualifications and no one can bear this responsibility.

With Li Dongyang restrained the outside court, the inner court and the outer court can balance it, prevent one from dominating the dominance of one's own family, and reflect one's own value, wandering around in the fire to get millet. Furthermore, whether it is forced or persuading by his own policies, only by obtaining Li Dongyang's support can the officials in the execution area not be slandered and sang the scriptures incorrectly.

Liu Jin couldn't understand the cause and effect, and nodded after hearing this, "What the lord said is, but... I'm afraid that when the emperor returns to Beijing, he should ask who should take over the position of Grand Secretary, and who should use it?"

The two looked at each other with a little helpless expression.

In addition to eunuchs, Liu Jin recognized people, and by the way, there is also a brother who can grow crops in his hometown in Shaanxi. As for Yang Ling, Yang Ling recognized many people, few who have deep friendships and even fewer who are qualified to be a Grand Secretary. Only when they are used will they hate them.

The treacherous ministers around them were all ambitious people around them. They excluded loyal ministers just to seek power and seize the throne and to arrange their confidants. However, these two treacherous ministers were worried about whom they left the vacant seats for.

The two of them were speechless for a moment, only hearing the wheels rumbling. The horses xiao. Yang Ling looked like he closed his eyes and rested, filtering the candidates who could think about them over and over again in his heart. However, Liu Jin firmly believed that no profit would be too early, and a group of people would soon gather around him.

Yang Ling was right. He finally climbed to the position of the inner minister and could no longer give anyone a chance to suppress himself. He must promote his confidants as soon as possible and take the 24th Superintendent of the inner court into his own hands.

Nearly 100 officials such as Changting, Ma Wensheng, Han Wen, Wang Hua, etc., delivered wine to Liu Jian and Xie Qian, two Grand Secretarys, returned home. The Ming Dynasty system. No matter how high-ranking officials were dismissed, they could no longer live in the capital.

However, the court also treated the ministers who returned home very favorably and gave them imperial edicts. The family allowed them to use the public's post station to return home, and the local officials provided silver and rice and husband's servants monthly. Emperor Zhengde was not stingy with these preferential treatments and still gave them two return home ministers.

The autumn wind is bleak and the wilderness is withering. Liu Jian looked at the desolate scene in the wilderness, and smiled desolately to all the friends and colleagues who came to see him off, saying, "In March, I and my family went here for an outing, but now it is yellow."

The ministers looked at the chief minister of the cabinet in a commoner and said sadly. Xie Qian sighed and said, "The earth is desolate and there is still a day of rejuvenation. Seeing that the country and the country are defeated by no means, the treacherous and slanderous are in power, and the government is getting worse. I am so ashamed and regretful."

Everyone couldn't help but sigh secretly. The assistant minister of the capital, Lu Chong, slapped his high-high with hatred and said, "What's the use of sighing alone? It's better to contact all officials and advise again. At worst, we can return home together. How about it?"

Lu Chong's eyes were swept away, and some officials were ready to respond, but some pretended to look at him. Or they used the act of raising glasses and drinking to avoid his gaze. Lu Chong felt furious in his heart.

He was about to say something again, Liu Jian said with a smile, "Forget it. Time is fate. I think it is my Ming Dynasty that there should be such a disaster. Good and evil will be rewarded, and heaven and earth will know each other. The four seasons are arranged. Even if the snow covers the sky and spring will eventually return, how long can those treacherous people be rampant?"

A minister with a dark face and energetic spirit stepped forward and said, "Sir, Lord Lu said, "There is no need to be a try again. Why did the two masters write letters separately and take advantage of the treacherous?"

When Liu Jian saw that Yang Yiqing, who had been in charge of Shaanxi, had been transferred back to Beijing to be promoted to the right commander of the commander of the Right Capital for only a month and a half, couldn't help but smile with relief: "Ying Ning has such ambition. I am very relieved. Now the Eight Tigers are strong, and I and Xie are in their positions. I know that they cannot do it. You should keep a secret and accumulate strength to wait for Your Majesty to capture the thief in one fell swoop. Don't learn from me."

Yang Yiqing had just returned from Shaanxi and had no impression of Yang Ling. Most of the stories of the people who recited the imperial officials were strange stories. Yang Ling had been to Beijing for less than a year and had countless surprises. Although he was notorious among the scholars, he had a very good impression of the people. Yang Yiqing had no official airs and often had a good relationship with the people, so he had a good impression of him.

After hearing Liu Jian's words, he couldn't help but sigh and said to himself: "The Eight Tigers are in trouble in the capital. Yang Ling is far away in the south of the Yangtze River. It would be a bit far-fetched to say that he was instructing him. Now, looking at the Eight Tigers' strategy step by step, the confession of Dai Yi, the Sili Supervisor, and the letters found in the Fanting Room of the East Factory, it can be seen that Yang Ling was only used. If hundreds of officials in the court attacked the Eight Tigers with all their strength and led Yang Ling, who was in charge of the internal factory, as a helping force, how could he be defeated?"

He was unable to express these complaints. At this moment, three fast horses rushed out from the city gate. When the horse arrived, a civil servant in front was Li Dongyang and Li Grand Secretary Li, while the two behind him were guards.

Today, the two close friends retired and returned home, and he also wanted to come and see him off early. But now all the cabinet affairs are on him. Some important documents have just been processed at this time, so they immediately took leave and left the palace and rushed over.

Some of the civil and military officials who did not dare to risk their dismissal from office and died in the danger of being dismissal when they saw Grand Secretary Li, but their faces showed disdain. Li Dongyang saw it and didn't mind at all. He walked through the crowd into the pavilion and gasped, saying, "Mr. Liu, Mr. Xie. I'm one step late."

Liu Jian poured three glasses of wine and smiled and said, "Binzhi is coming just right now. Now the burden is on you alone. I still don't expect you to have free time. Come on, you and I will drink this cup together. If you want to drink at the same table in the future, I may not have many opportunities."

Li Dongyang held up the cup and said sadly: "The two adults are the pillars of the country. Dongyang originally hoped to work with the two adults to protect the young masters, and to entrust the orphans to the last emperor. Dunjian said that in just half a year, the two of them were about to leave the capital. The disciple left Dongyang alone, and he was very sad."

Xie Qian raised his glass, but sprinkled the wine on the ground and sneered, "What's the sad thing? If you are not greedy for power and write a letter with me, wouldn't you leave together?" After saying that, he turned around and looked at the wilderness outside the long pavilion with his hands behind his back, and he was too lazy to even look back.

Li Dongyang's face turned pale. He didn't expect that his efforts would not be understood by many ministers. Even old friends like Xie Qian misunderstood that he was greedy for power. Where should he start with the intention of defending?

The wind passed through the pavilion, and his heart was filled with depression. Li Dongyang smiled bitterly, raised his glass and drank it all. All the officials around him observed the three great masters who had always been advancing and retreating with complex eyes, and each had different tastes.

Li Dongyang put down his cup, wiped the wine stains on his beard, smiled miserably, and was about to say a few more words to Xie Qian. There was a sudden sound of horse hooves. More than thirty horses rode fast horses from the capital, looking at the outfits of the horses. They were guards of the imperial guards.

Lu Chong couldn't help but say excitedly: "Can the emperor regret it? Do you want to recover the two great scholars?"

The officials were in a state of turmoil, and even the calm people of Liu Jian and Xie Qian were breathing rapidly. The Imperial Guard arrived in front of him, but he stopped and rushed straight towards him. The officials couldn't help but feel as if they were depressed.

The two great masters were finally about to set off. The stairs cart was pulled in front of them. The family and family had already got on the car. Liu Jian and Xie Qian raised their hands to their colleagues and said goodbye. While they were reluctant to part with each other, the more than 30 cavalry soldiers rushed back slowly, with flags waving behind them.

Although most of the flags were made temporarily, the Xuanhuang Emperor Dragon Banner and the Yang-character flag, which were raised in the hands of the flag bearer, clearly stated that Yang Ling had returned to Beijing under the imperial order.

The officials stared at the team with complicated eyes. The carriage at the front was Liu Jin. He lifted the curtain of the sedan chair and sat in the sedan chair with a golden sword. He looked straight and sneered with contempt at the corner of his mouth.

The second carriage was Yang Ling's car sedan. Yang Ling had heard the report of the Imperial Guards who came to greet him. He was leaving the two adults Liu and Xie in front of him. He hesitated for a long time and had no position to get off the sedan chair to meet him. He raised his hand to the curtain and put it down. His mouth opened and closed. While hesitating, the carriage had slowly passed by everyone. Yang Ling sighed dejectedly and slowly closed his eyes.

Lu Shichen, a scholar of the Hanlin Academy, stared at Liu Jin's car sedan that was gone, suddenly stepped out of the crowd, glanced at the car sedan that Yang Ling had just passed, and said loudly: "The treacherous and slandered the ancestors, and the next one was humiliated. Although it was a burden to a hundred generations, the criticism was so great. The sun and the moon were bright, and the people's hearts were like mirrors. Be careful and self-reflective!"

Yang Ling smiled bitterly on his lips: "In the name of justice, you can speculate on the crimes of others at will, and you can always advise people to kill people on false charges? You just want to be 'moral' and 'righteous' between the outer court, and between the outer court and the inner court. I will leave the matter out of the matter. As long as you do your own things well, you are worthy of history and conscience."

Xie Qian looked at the continuous convoy and sighed to the sky: "One emperor and another minister, forget it, let's go!"

The stagecoach convoy crossed the Beijing army and gradually moved away. The officials stood outside the long pavilion, standing silently, looking at the direction of the convoy until they disappeared on the horizon.

The two storied figures of the Hongzhi Dynasty went down from the political stage from then on, and the power team left by Emperor Hongzhi to Zhengde began to collapse...

What the people spread was a wonderful battle between the East and the Inner Factory. Only the scholars were more concerned about the departure of the two Grand Secretarys and the undercurrents in the court. Therefore, they also paid more attention to the return of Yangling.

Yang Ling was carried into the Baohe Palace. His miserable appearance, which had been a life-and-death death, successfully dispelled many officials' doubts about him. Emperor Zhengde usually liked to watch artists acting. At this time, he seemed to be on the stage. The child became more and more enthusiastic in acting.

He angrily said to the six ministers and nine ministers who had just sent Liu Jian away and Xie Qian rushed back, "Look, I sent Yang Qing to inspect the tax affairs in Jiangnan, and Yang Qing was loyal to him. The taxes paid in various places were not only timely, but also 10% more than last year. Several illegal tax supervisors were also punished. Are such loyal ministers treacherous?"

Zhengde said, bypassing the Longshu case, walked to Yang Ling and said, "Yang Qing will go back to the mansion first and be raised. After healing, he will do his best to do his job for me!"

He said as he bent down as if he was exploring his injuries, he quietly pinched Yang Ling's hand and said whispered: "You are not inconvenient to go to court these days. I will go back to see you and tell me about the situation of fighting pirates."
To be continued...
