The sun was shining brightly, and pedestrians on the street were getting burning. Suddenly, a strange team appeared in the north gate. Sixteen Ming imperial guards, wearing military uniforms and waist knives, rushed into the city with a brightly painted carriage.

All of them were tall and majestic white horses, and the saddles were gorgeous. The armor worn by the guards on the horse was so exquisite than the clothes of the border army. The carriage went into the city without stopping, and the guard of honor headed straight to the post office.

In the post office, Yang Ling and Liu Biao and Yang Yiqing were chatting and tasting tea, trying to find out as much information as possible from them about the capital and the Jinyiwei. At this time, a postman hurried in and said, "Sir, there are passers-by officials coming to submit their letters to the station, and the convoy will arrive soon."

Yang Ling was very surprised when he heard this. Although the office was responsible for receiving passing officials, the territory of the Tatars was not far from the rooster crowing, and there were no officials from the court. If an official sent a letter to the station, the convoy would definitely be quite large. Who was coming?

Liu Biao and Yang Yiqing accompanied him behind him to welcome him out, and saw a carriage slowly coming along the post road, with eight magical war horses on both sides. The knight sitting upright was wearing a helmet and armor, which was very majestic.

As soon as he saw the yellow flag in the carriage, Liu Biao had already caught up quickly and whispered in Yang Ling's ear: "Sir, this is someone from the capital."

Yang Ling nodded slightly and stood in front of the door. He saw the carriage walking in front of him, and then he pulled up the curtain. He walked out with a man in his waist. He was in his fifties, with a sharp face and a thin dress in the palace eunuch.

Yang Ling said in a lost voice: "Eunuch Liu?" The man was Eunuch Liu, the military supervisor. He got off the carriage and said to Yang Ling with a smile: "Yang Yicheng, our family is really destined to be with you. We have met again in just over a month."

Yang Ling let Eunuch Liu into the lobby, but he still couldn't figure out his purpose. It is said that he had been promoted to the Jinyiwei and served as a fifth-rank magistrate, so there was no need for eunuchs in the palace to come forward. When this eunuch went out of the palace, he usually ordered the army to collect taxes, and bought palace supplies. He rarely summoned officials under the third rank and asked eunuchs to bring imperial edicts to promulgate.

Sixteen warriors walked into the hall and stood on both sides, pressing their hands on their waists and their eyes were not squinting. Eunuch Liu walked to the middle of the hall, turned around and coughed, and said loudly: "Yang Ling, the postmaster of Jiming County, received the order!"

Yang Ling was at a loss and looked at him at a loss. He was shocked when he heard that the emperor issued an imperial edict to him. As for whether he would do it like the one in the movie, he was even more unsure of whether he would accept the imperial edict. Fortunately, Eunuch Liu has seen many such ministers, and the imperial edict is not a newspaper. How many officials have actually received the imperial edict? Even the ministers who were officials in the court made jokes when they received the imperial edict for the first time. He smiled slightly, held Huang Juan in both hands and whispered: "Yang Yicheng, kneel down and listen to Xuan!"

Yang Ling looked at him gratefully, then knelt on his knees and said, "My dear Yang Ling" was the first time he knelt down to someone, Yang Ling felt a little uncomfortable. It was considered to be a local custom, at least he did not have the courage to resist.

Eunuch Liu slowly unfolded the yellow silk and said loudly: "The emperor who followed the heavens and inherited the fortunes, and the imperial edict said: I heard that the three generations of people were the result of the people. Therefore, the people were the foundation of the country. The ancient sages said: The way of the great way is the world for the people."

Eunuch Liu was shaking his head and stuttering. Although Yang Ling understood the meaning of the classical Chinese, he understood it, but it was quite difficult to listen to Eunuch Liu. After a while, he heard Eunuch Liu read the main topic: "Therefore, the people are the lord of the country. The emperor has the world for the people. Those who serve as the king should be trustworthy and harmonious, and choose virtuous and capable. The current crown prince is smart and studious. He heard that Yang Ling, a scholar in the Xuanfu, was virtuous and capable, and was very kind. I wanted to Xuan Yangling to enter the capital and serve as the crown prince's attendant. When he heard the imperial edict, he immediately went to the capital without delay. I was honored. In February of the 18th year of Hongzhi."

Yang Ling was puzzled, the prince's attendant? Isn't he a member of the Jinyiwei? He suddenly thought of what Ma Lian'er said that night: Promotion in the officialdom is not like a joke. There is a saying that the career path is dangerous, with the "credit" you have made, there is no reason to go straight to the center of the three levels. It is even more impossible for someone in Beijing to be so kind. If you are promoted to your official position for no reason, we have to think about it carefully, so we can't let anyone cheat you."

Yang Ling suddenly understood. No wonder the Jinyiwei ran to promote his official position with a fire. It turned out that he heard that the emperor wanted to serve as the crown prince's attendant, and the icing on the cake was added. Although the crown prince's attendant was a sixth rank official, to put it bluntly, he was actually the crown prince's classmates. Once the crown prince ascended the throne, how could these crown princes be most close to and familiar with people not be valued?

This postmaster was originally just a minor official of the Jinyiwei, but now this official has become an operator of the Jinyiwei Central. With an appointment, he will pull the future emperor's confidant into his own camp, and of course he will not suffer any loss.

Seeing that he was still kneeling there in a daze, Eunuch Liu whispered: "Yang Yicheng, why don't you receive the order to thank me?"

Yang Ling woke up and shouted loudly: "I, thank you for your kindness." He took the imperial edict from Eunuch Liu with both hands, glanced at him, and saw that Eunuch Liu had no intention of kneeling three times and knocking nine times, so he stood up.

When Eunuch Liu handed over the imperial edict, he immediately took over the high-ranking and looked down on all living beings, and said to Yang Ling with a kind look: "Grandpa Yang, our Liu Jin is a slave to the prince. In the future, Mr. Yang will serve as a lecturer to the prince, so we should get closer."

Yang Ling was shocked when he heard this and said in a lost voice: "Liu Jin? Are you Liu Jin?"

Eunuch Liu blinked and said strangely: "Why, Mr. Yang has heard of our name?"

Yang Ling nodded, shook his head again, not knowing what to say.

Liu Jin, the prototype of the factory in "New Longmen Inn", the legendary eunuch in the East Factory who kills without blinking, is the old eunuch who is not outstanding in front of him?

Thanks to novels and TV, Wang Zhi, Wang Zhen, Liu Jin, Wei Zhongxian, and Yang Ling are familiar with each other. All the eunuchs there are strange martial arts, with a childish face and a sarcastic look. At this time, they saw Liu Jin who was not outstanding in appearance with their own eyes. Yang Ling thought he had the same name and surname.

Liu Jin said happily: "It is rare for our family to go back to Beijing. There are not many people who know our name. Unexpectedly, Mr. Yang has heard of me. Haha, it turns out that he is a scholar who knows the world if he doesn't go out."

"Grandpa Yang, now that I have received the imperial edict, I think we will set off immediately. Now the prince is still good to dance with guns and sticks, marching and infantry formations. The post from Mr. Yang presented to General He Shen. Our family will take it back to Beijing. The prince was very happy to read it. He thought to use your method to train the Shenji Camp, so don't let the prince be anxious."

Liu Jin is still very careful and serious in his work. He is now in charge of the Bell and Drum Office, and he is the least powerful among the 24th yamen of the Inner Office. The Crown Prince Zhu Houzhao is willful and martial, and his temper is gusts of wind and showers. The Emperor Long lively is very doting on this precious son. How dare Liu Jin be negligent?

Yang Ling had to call Youniang to start packing her luggage. Liu and Yang said to the outside world that they were servants of the Yang family. Although the local office found it strange, Eunuch Liu did not know the Yang family's background and did not care. After Yangling finished all the work, Ma Lian'er had not come back yet, so she said to Youniang and asked her elder brother to go out of the city to report the news so that she would not think she would leave without saying goodbye.

At this time, three carriages were already on the winding mountain road. The mountain road was narrow, with sixteen guards guarding the front, eight front and eight back guards. In front was Eunuch Liu's red-lacquered carriage, and the two carriages were sent from the post office. There was a high pole in front of the carriage, with the word "Online" written on it, and behind it was Liu Biao and Yang Yiqing sitting in the luggage carriage.

Han Youniang looked out the window silently. She had not been separated from her family since she was young and went so far away. A few days ago, she thought about going to the capital, and was so excited that she was like a child. She really left, and her heart was empty again. Alas, my father was a postman and ran around. This time she left, but she didn't see him. I don't know how long it would take to see his relatives again.

Yang Ling knew that she was reluctant to leave and comforted her softly: "Don't worry, when we go and settle down, I will find a way to bring my father-in-law and the others to the capital."

The young lady nodded, lying gently in Yang Ling's arms, her big eyes flashed, and she didn't know what she was thinking. Yang Ling gently stroked her back, and she was also full of thoughts for a moment.

What is the role of the prince’s attendant? He did not retain the memory of the original scholar Yang Ling, the Xuanfu scholar. If he really wanted to take the Four Books, Five Classics, Eight Essays, he knew nothing. I hope that the minister’s attendant’s name would be as good as he actually, and just accompany the prince to study.

The history he remembered was too simple. Except for Zhu Hongwu, Chengzu and the last Chongzhen, he had some knowledge. The other Ming emperors knew very little. Now he was inexplicably pushed to the center of this historical stage. He would be surrounded by people with high power in this era. Can he cope with it?

Yang Ling has always been in a daze, just wanting his wife and children to live happily for two years. Now he is on the shelves. As the saying goes, being with the king is like being with a tiger. For the sake of his own safety, he has to get serious and take the initiative to understand and understand this era.

Yang Ling straightened out his thoughts, and information about this era slowly flowed through his mind.

It is the 18th year of Hongzhi. The emperor is Emperor Hongzhi. His surname is Zhu. His name is. Because of his limited knowledge, he cannot recall the year name, so he is unknown. His life is not detailed. The prince Zhu Houzhao, Fengliu, is lustful, stupid, and very handsome. Regarding his life and deeds: playing with dragons and phoenixes, it seems that he died early. Liu Jin, a treacherous minister, became famous, unknown, and how he died. I don’t know, it’s not easy to die anyway.

Abandoned firewood! Absolute wastewood! Yang Ling can only give himself such an evaluation ashamed. With such a little information, can he take advantage of the opportunity, avoid bad luck, and grasp history? After a while of discouragement, Yang Ling suddenly became energetic and straightened his waist: What should I care about so much? What about Emperor Zhengde and the treacherous minister Liu Jin, my life is as short as plants and trees, and that is not something I should worry about. My purpose is to go to the capital, be a high-ranking official, and mingle in Beijing!

The ignorant was fearless, and Yang Ling, who was about to break into the capital with his eyes closed, began to become blindly optimistic.
