Chapter 71

Emperor Hongzhi stood up in shock and angrily, pointing to Yang Ling, so angry that he couldn't speak for a while.

In fact, he admired Yang Ling very much. A few days ago, Yang Ling mentioned his military views to Liu Daxia later. Although Liu Daxia felt that there were still many details to be considered and discussed, he also affirmed his views, believing that it was indeed independent and outstanding, and therefore he was not stingy to praise him.

When Yang Ling was attending the prince, he did not talk about the Four Books and Five Classics, but only talked about mountains, rivers, customs, and even foreign countries. Hongzhi had his own eyes and ears and ears, and he had already known it in advance. However, Hongzhi was quite good at music and painting, and his ministers often made repeated comments about this, worried that the emperor would indulge in this way and misunderstand government affairs. Every time Hongzhi heard it, he just laughed it off, thinking that it was a pity for Confucianism, so he did not agree with the prince's extensive knowledge and miscellaneous studies.

When he thought that Yang Ling was the number one scholar in Xuanfu, his knowledge was naturally not bad. Now he does not speak the words of a saint, but starts from the sidelines. I think he knows the prince's temperament, so he abandoned the "reading thousands of books" and used the method of "traveling thousands of miles". It was quite hard, so he admired him very much.

But today he teaches the prince here the way to be a king, which is quite a trick that is not worthy of being told by outsiders. Now Yang Ling is hiding in the dark and listens to it. Even though Hongzhi has always been generous to others, he does not feel angry and embarrassed.

He looked at Yang Ling coldly and said with a strong anger: "Yang Shidu, have you just shocked the emperor?"

Yang Ling said authentically: "Your Majesty, I don't know what Your Majesty means."

Hongzhi slapped the case of the book and said word by word: "Yang Ling, did the prince leave the palace yesterday? Where have you been? Today, Li Dongyang's memorial to impeach Zhang Heling was from your instruction?"

Yang Ling felt cold in his heart: "How secret is this matter? How did the emperor know? Is there the emperor's eyes and ears among the Eight Tigers? No, no, if it were the Eight Tigers that the emperor would have stopped the prince from leaving the palace privately, and he would not have known afterwards. So who leaked the news? Dongchang? Jinyiwei? They would not dismantle their own platform, who else could it be?"

Yang Ling was shocked when he thought about it, and suddenly remembered the West Factory that had been secretly established. Could it be the omnipresent secret detective of the West Factory? The resumption of the West Factory is extremely secret and has not been officially released yet. It is still unknown who is the governor of the West Factory. Most of the members of the West Factory are also secretly identifiable. Are they from the West Factory?

He knelt down and thought randomly. Hongzhi said angrily: "You are bold and encouraging the prince to leave the palace, enter the fireworks, and beat the family of the Marquis's family. It's fine. As a minister, when impeaching others, you cannot be open and upright. You report to the emperor directly, but secretly use tricks to control the ministers and use the emperor. It is really a pity for his heart!"

The emperor became more and more angry as he spoke. After a heavy blow on the desk, Yang Ling couldn't help but tremble. The most taboo thing for emperors was that the ministers suppressed the lord, and the most hated was that they were playing with power and tricks in front of the king. Although Hongzhi thought that he had seen the powerful ministers invading the people's interests, he asked for the people, but he believed that he was deceived by the prince at a young age and used tricks to exploit the prince. This was a taboo of the emperor.

As the saying goes, accompanying the king is like accompanying a tiger. If Hongzhi is furious, will he be stingy to kill a small attendant? Yang Ling becomes more and more afraid of thinking. He is lying on the ground and doesn't know how to explain it. Zhu Houzhao is determined to plead for him, but when he sees his father's face full of anger, he doesn't dare to speak easily.

At this moment, Miao Kui's voice outside the door said, "Madam Jin, the emperor is checking the prince's homework. You should go to the harem first. When the emperor returns to the palace, he will definitely meet you."

Then a woman heard a voice saying, "Get out, I'm going to see the emperor now, my uncle, my uncle, my master, I'm going to take charge of my uncle!"

Hongzhi said angrily: "What's the matter?"

Miao Kui opened the hall door and said in fear and trepidation: "Emperor, Mrs. Jin."

Before he finished speaking, he was pushed away by someone. A noble lady in her fifties rushed in. When she saw Hongzhi, she knelt on the ground and cried and said, "Emperor, I am wronged. He Ling has always been obedient and dared not act recklessly. How could she occupy a house, sell official salt privately, and marry a brothel woman? It was Li Dongyang who was jealous of the emperor's favoritism with He Ling, so she spoke slander and asked the emperor to take charge of his concubine. Wuwuwu that child has not been imprisoned yet, the emperor."

Hongzhi frowned and said warmly: "Madam Jin asked him to get up. Marquis Shouning had lost his ministers in the Jin Palace. I just added a little punishment. I have told the queen just now that he will be pardoned from prison in a few days, so don't panic."

Yang Ling looked at the woman kneeling beside him and thought to himself: "Is this the emperor's mother-in-law today? It's great. I hope that the emperor will forget to punish me after interrupting her."

Mrs. Jin refused to give in and continued to cry and said, "Your Majesty, Li Dongyang chased and beat He Ling in the Golden Palace. He was unable to bear the aggression, so he grabbed the hammer and hit someone. He really couldn't blame He Ling. How could this child have any sins? The emperor wants to punish him and should severely punish Li Dongyang. Please let He Ling go."

Hongzhi had a blue face and his fat body was panting with excitement. When Zhu Houzhao saw him, he hurriedly supported him and said worriedly: "Father, please sit up with peace of mind, don't be too excited."

Hongzhi sat on the couch, and saw Mrs. Jin crying endlessly, she became more angry. She saw Yang Ling kneeling there in a blink of an eye. Gu Dayong was also protruding her head at the door. She couldn't help but pointing at Gu Dayong hatefully and cursed: "Bastard, get in!"

Mrs. Jin was so excited that she cried. She was stunned by his stern roar. She stopped crying. Gu Dayong rolled in and cried on the ground, kneeling on the ground, Hongzhi's face was as deep as water, and said sternly: "You brave things, you dare to encourage the prince to leave the palace. The prince was injured by the family of the Shouning Marquis' Mansion. I cut your heart into pieces. If the prince is uncomfortable, I will destroy your nine clans!"

Gu Dayong kowtowed like pounding garlic and said repeatedly: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, The Prince left the palace to examine the people's sentiments. He didn't expect that the noble slave would be bold. The old slave should die. The old slave fought to the death for the prince and was beaten by the noble slave of the Marquis's mansion, the emperor!"

He raised his face and showed the emperor the bruised scars on his face. When Mrs. Jin heard that the prince was beaten by the servants in his son's mansion, she was so scared that she didn't dare to speak out. She knelt on the side and watched.

Seeing that Mrs. Jin was no longer making noise, Hongzhi sighed in his heart. He glared at Gu Dayong and said, "Hmph, if you hadn't encouraged the prince to leave the palace in a low manner, how could such a thing happen? If I don't punish you, how big a thing you might have caused in the future. Miao Kui, how many people would have encouraged the prince to leave the palace?"

Miao Kui quickly took a step forward and bowed and said, "Report to the emperor, the attendant Yang Ling, the internal supervisors Liu Jin, Zhang Yong, Gu Dayong, Ma Yongcheng, Wei Bin, Luo Xiang, Gao Feng, Qiu Jujiu, and others followed the prince out of the palace yesterday and returned until the evening!"

Hongzhi shouted: "Take these nine people out of the Meridian Gate"

Yang Ling was shocked when he heard this, and only heard Hongzhi breathe and continued: "Each person is thirty sticks to the court to serve as a warning to the best."

Miao Kui hurriedly said, "Abide by the order!" He waved his hand, and several eunuchs came in and captured Yang Ling. Gu Dayong left. Gu Dayong burst into tears like a dead mother: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I will never dare to do it again. Please spare your life, and the prince will save me."

Yang Ling was a little puzzled, just beat him, wouldn't he just beat him? At most, he would have to rest for two days. The emperor had not cut off his head, so he had already breathed a sigh of relief. Gu Dayong had been in the East Factory, but he knew that the skill of the prison guard of the Jinyiwei was not the one who beat someone in the yamen. Those people had received special training. Usually, only when they were trained to cover a piece of paper on the bricks and the bricks were crushed and the paper was not broken, the Jinyi Captain had the right to execute the sentence.

Therefore, their execution depends entirely on the emperor's wishes. If the emperor does not want to die, dozens of plaques will make the flesh and blood fly. Looking at it, it is extremely miserable. In fact, it will take a little golden sore medicine for two days to rest. If he doesn't want him to live, the stick looks very light and his skin is not broken, but it hurts the heart. If he only has thirty sticks, the blood vessels under the skin will break inch by inch, and the muscles will ulcerate and will die soon, and there is no cure to save him.

Gu Dayong didn't know the emperor's wishes, so he only looked at Hongzhi's face ashen, thinking that he was dead this time, so he cried so miserably.

Zhu Houzhao was a little uneasy. He always felt that he could only make an idea if he could not leave the palace. Yang Ling and Gu Dayong were just obeying the orders. Now that he had nothing to do, they were beaten up and felt a little disgusted. He said to Hongzhi with a whisper: "Father, they."

Hongzhi brushed his sleeves and said, "The emperor is the crown prince of the country. They dared to take the emperor out of the palace privately, causing the emperor to be injured. Such a traitor and not to cut them off is a mercy outside the law. The emperor does not need to say much!"

Mrs. Jin felt cold after hearing this. She wanted to ask Zhang Heling to be released immediately and punish Li Dongyang severely, but she did not dare to say anything. If it was considered a ruthless person to take the prince out of the palace, what would it be if the servants in his son's house beat the prince? I have never heard of this matter. When did they beat the prince?"

Mrs. Jin was painting her soul in her heart, and Hongzhi said again: "Mrs. Jin asked her to get up, don't kneel down again. My intention has been decided. If someone comes, I will send an order. Li Dongyang Palace loses his etiquette and is fined three months for punishment. Then he is released from prison. The Marquis of Shouning encroaches on the people's profits. The evidence is conclusive. He is detained for three days and has been fined for half a year. Then he restrains his family and returns the illegal gains. I am here."

"As for the prince being beaten," he looked at Mrs. Jin deeply. At this moment, Mrs. Jin was completely arrogant and did not dare to rely on her daughter's favor and talk nonsense. She stared at the emperor nervously, and only heard Hongzhi slowly say: "The Marquis of Shouning was not aware of it in advance, otherwise such a thing would not have happened. Forget this matter, it is always embarrassment of the royal family, don't let it go."

Mrs. Jin nodded and hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, the emperor is wise, the emperor is merciful!"

Hongzhi snorted softly and said, "If Mrs. Jin has nothing to do, she can go to the harem to meet the queen and comfort her. I will also check the prince's homework."

After hearing this, Mrs. Jin said hurriedly: "Yes, I will leave, I will not disturb the emperor." The woman quickly wiped the tears on her face and retreated in shame. Seeing that Hongzhi had always had a good temper, she was a little scared. She wanted to leave the palace immediately, but she was afraid that the queen would still be reluctant to anger the emperor again, so she hurried to the harem again.

When Zhu Houzhao saw that everyone had withdrawn, she couldn't help but pull Hongzhi's arm with salivation and begged: "Father, it was the son-in-law's idea to leave the palace yesterday. Yang Ling and Da Yong are both people around me. If you beat them up, who dares to follow me in the future?"

Hongzhi laughed at the sound of laughter. He sat down slowly, glared at his son and said, "Do you know how to protect him? Humph! Do you know how to make trouble? If you don't have such a person to encourage you, I can't think of so many tricks. Gu Dayong, Liu Jin, who only knows how to please you, make some children who can't play with the stage, and it's also appropriate to teach them a lesson."

Zhu Houzhao heard his father's tone calmly and knew that he was just playing for Mrs. Jin to show him, and couldn't help but laugh with confidence. He also sat beside Hongzhi and beat his shoulders for him and asked, "What about Yang Shidu? He is a scholar with no hands and feet. His white and tender butt cannot withstand the beating. What should I do if the father crippled him with crippled?"

Princess Yongfu heard the prince's white and tender butt behind the screen, and couldn't help but blush his face and spat gently. Princess Yongchun, who was very worried, couldn't help but look at her strangely. Princess Yongfu saw her looking at her, couldn't help but glar at her shyly and annoyed, and glared back at her fiercely. Princess Yongchun stuck out her tongue, not knowing why her sister looked weird, which was completely different from usual.

The stories of the wild nights that Yang Ling told were as attractive to Zhu Houzhao as those of Liu Jin and others. It was a world he had never been exposed to. He would not even dream of besides the Ming Dynasty, there were so many colorful places in the world. Although he had not known each other for a long time, he now had a lot of feelings for Yang Ling, but he couldn't bear to bear the harm, so he took the opportunity to plead for Yang Ling.

Hongzhi snorted: "Yang Ling is a man who is good at ease with literature and martial arts. Don't underestimate him as a scholar. A true general's talent does not have to personally catch a knife to the battlefield. His views on military affairs are highly appreciated by veterans like Liu Daxia."

He chuckled softly: "This man is a little attendant, and he dares to oppose the princes and princes. He is a loyal minister. Moreover, he knows that he is a little slight person and knows how to use Li Dongyang and you, the prince of the Eastern Palace, to advise him. He is not a foolish and corrupt young man. I like it very much.

Now all the six ministers of the Central Secretariat are old, and several of the Grand Secretary are not young. The father thinks that if this person is trained hard, he will be my son's powerful arm in the future."

Seeing that his son was still a little confused, he couldn't help but smile helplessly and said, "Are you wondering why I want to punish him? Haha, this person is young and reckless, too young and nonsense, and acts without any consequences. If he does not go through some training, he will inevitably be arrogant and arrogant. Do you understand?"

Zhu Houzhao said ah and said stubbornly: "It turns out that the father wants to grind him, just like a son-in-law who asks him to be slaughtered. The more he wants to use him, the more he has to torture him, hehe, but this tempering starts with his butt, which is a bit strange."

Hongzhi was very happy to hear his son's metaphor, but after hearing what he said later, he couldn't help laughing and crying. This son is still ignorant.
