Yang Ling recognized the girl as Princess Yongfu. When he heard that the prince was chasing his uncle, he didn't care about saluting the princess and asked hurriedly: "Where is the prince? Please take me there quickly."

Princess Yongfu led Yang Ling to hurriedly go around the vine rack and ran out. The eunuch who was sending the order was stunned when he saw Yang Ling running away: Why is this adult interested in resisting the order? But His Highness took him away, and he didn't know what to do for a moment, so he had to follow him.

When Yang Ling passed through a corridor, he saw more than a dozen eunuchs and palace maids standing there in panic. Zhu Houzhao's face turned red. He was standing in front of a rockery holding a sharp sword in his hand. A man in his thirties stood opposite the rockery. He was asking through the gaps between the rockery and looking at Zhu Houzhao's actions. When Zhu Houzhao chased him, he walked around the "mountain", which seemed extremely ridiculous.

Princess Yongfu said anxiously: "General Yang, stop the emperor's brother quickly. As soon as the Hou of Shouning came out of his father's palace, the emperor's brother took the guard's sword and chased him all the way here."

After hearing this, Yang Ling hurriedly stepped forward and called, "Your Highness, don't be impulsive."

Zhu Houzhao turned around suddenly and shouted, "Who dares to talk too much, I will kill you together." He saw Yang Ling at first sight, and his expression suddenly calmed down, and he said happily: "Yang Shidu, it's just right here, help me capture this traitor!"

When Shouning Hou stood opposite, he heard that it was Yang Shidu, and he was overjoyed. This was the person saved by the Empress, so he should have paid me back to his favor. He hurriedly shouted: "I am wronged, Yang Shidu saves me, I am Zhang Heling, the Marquis of Shouning."

Zhu Houzhao spat and cursed: "You thief, no one can save you. Just let me kill it with one sword, otherwise I will copy you all!"

Yang Ling pulled Zhu Houzhao and said in confusion: "Crown Prince, you are chasing a marquis and fleeing everywhere. The court officials may not be willing to ask for it when they are spread. What did the Hou of Shouning do?"

Zhu Houzhao said angrily: "Yang Shidu, I was worried about my father's safety just now, so I ran back to see him. This innocent beast, a brave traitor! My father was sleeping in the bed, but he and Zhang Yanling stood at the corner of the hall and laughed and said softly. It's okay, while he actually picked up the imperial crown and put it on his head. He was so ruthless, do you think he should be killed?"

Yang Ling was also shocked. Although it was just a hat, in the era when imperial power was supreme, the hat was a symbol. With this one, it would not be an exaggeration to give the Hou of Shouning a serious crime of treason.

Yang Ling looked at the Marquis of Shouning and saw that his face was pale and his hands were still trembling, so he said to the prince: "Your Highness, if you are guilty, he should kill him, but he should also be clear that the court will enforce the law. If you kill a marquis in the palace like this, those who do not know about it will inevitably spread rumors. Besides, Your Majesty has always been kind to the Marquis. If this affects Your Majesty's condition, how can Your Majesty deal with it? Now the Emperor's illness is the most serious."

When Zhu Houzhao heard him mention the emperor, she suddenly woke up and said, "Yes, he escaped immediately when he saw me. When I went to chase him, I woke up my father. Hurry up, go back and see my father so that he won't worry!"

Zhu Houzhao said that wind was wind and rain was rain. She left the scared Hou Shouning, holding a sword in one hand and pulling Yang Ling in the other, and hurried towards Qianqing Palace.

The Hou of Shouning didn't know what the prince and Yang Ling were whispering. Seeing Yang Ling say a few words, he persuaded the prince to leave. His uncle was not as powerful as an outsider in front of the prince. He thought about it and shook his sleeves and headed straight to Kunning Palace.

***************************************

Now that the prince is in charge of the country, you can see him without reporting. Yang Ling was pulled by him and hurriedly broke into the Dongguan Pavilion. Emperor Hongzhi leaned on the pillow and was looking at the door. Yang Ling didn't dare to look at it anymore, so he hurriedly knelt on the ground and said loudly: "My dear Yang Ling, the emperor."

Emperor Hongzhi just woke up and saw the Hou of Shouning and the Crown Prince leave urgently. When he saw Yang Lingjin, he was not in a hurry to talk to the Crown Prince. He looked at Yang Ling a few times and smiled and said, "You are calm, Yang Qing's time to join the army is still short, but he is already quite heroic. I feel no comfort."

Yang Ling bowed and said, "Thank you for your praise. I am ordered to train troops and dare not slacken. But I have not made any achievements yet. I am really ashamed of having the hope of losing the holy."

Hongzhi laughed and said, "Yang Qing doesn't have to be too humble. Your military training method is quite effective. I am very satisfied with such results in just a short time. Just come. Just come. Miao Kui, go hand in the palace ban with Yang Qing."

Yang Ling was a little surprised. He thought that Hongzhi would definitely have to take the exam, so he made some preparations on the way. Unexpectedly, Emperor Hongzhi didn't ask, so he changed his defense. Seeing Miao Kui answered at the door, Yang Ling bowed out and handed over the palace to Miao Kui.

Zhu Houzhao, who was standing next to Hongzhi's couch, said strangely: "Father, you said you should treat your subordinates well, and you also said that Yang Shidu can be my loyal minister. Why did you send him out in just a few words?"

Hongzhi patted the couch and asked his son to sit down. He said to him: "Son, rewards and punishments must be moderate. If you miss it, you will not know how to be kind, and if you punish them, you will not know how to be afraid. Yang Ling's promotion is quick, and all officials have looked at him sideways. If you are too favored, it is not a good thing."

He held his son's hand and laughed: "He is an old minister of the Eastern Palace. Now the guard of Danei and the emperor has made great contributions to support him after he ascended the throne. Could it be that I would give him another minister to entrust him? Haha, you will give this kindness to your minister."

After hearing what his father said, Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but say in panic: "Father, why do you say this? Your body."

Seeing that he was sad, Hongzhi hurriedly interrupted: "Son, I woke up just now and saw that you were chasing your uncle in a hurry. Is there anything wrong?"

When Zhu Houzhao heard this, his face turned red with anger. He recounted the matter again. Hongzhi couldn't help laughing when he heard it. He shook his head gently and said, "Why should the emperor care about some small things? Can the Hou of Shouning be so frivolous, be the one who accomplished a big thing? The big trouble of the son is not in the court."

***************************************

After hearing Zhang Yanling came to report the news, Empress Zhang was just taking the palace maids in panic to snatch them out to save the people. When she saw Zhang Heling rushing into the palace in a daze, she felt relieved. She sat back on Jindun with a pretty face and said to the palace maids: "Get back all!"

Empress Zhang is over thirty years old, but she is a beautiful woman. She is well maintained. Although she is a woman who has given birth to several children, she still looks like a twenty-year-old, with a dignified expression and charming appearance. She stands with Princess Yongfu like a pair of sisters.

The queen and Hongzhi couple have been in love for more than ten years. Seeing that the emperor has not had much time, she is also very sad these days. Now that the two ignorant brothers are still causing trouble, she is really annoyed.

In fact, if this matter is put on ordinary people, it is nothing. Isn’t it just that my brother-in-law wears his brother-in-law’s hat? But the other party is the emperor, and it depends on what you say.

They were originally guided by their sister to visit Emperor Hongzhi's condition and showed their loyalty as ministers. Emperor Hongzhi was not in good spirits and fell asleep while chatting with them. The two of them dared not wake up the emperor, and they were not willing to retreat without saying a word, so they had to chat and wait in the corner of the palace.

When Zhang Yanling came, he saw that Emperor Hongzhi was in serious condition and was worried that the power of the Zhang family would be affected after his death, but Zhang Heling didn't care at all. In his opinion, even if the emperor passed away, the one who became the new emperor was still his nephew, the nephew was the emperor and the sister was the empress dowager, so what else should I worry about?

He smiled at Zhang Yanling and said, "Don't worry, second brother, if the emperor is really good, my brother's power will be even greater. Once the emperor and the new emperor ascends the throne, he will be granted a great title. At that time, let my sister ask for a mission for us as the Queen Mother. Isn't there no official camp of the Shenji Camp yet? We will take charge of Shenji Camp. If I become a battalion officer, you will be the deputy general. Then there are tens of thousands of soldiers in hand. Moreover, Shenji Camp has always been under the command of the prince. I have been promoted from Shouning Bo to Shouning Hou for several years. I will not have a Shouning Duke this time?"

Zhang Heling was so obsessed with her body. Seeing Hongzhi's robe stacked on the table, she took the imperial crown and put it on her head, and said with a smile: "At that time, today, you and me are you and me, what is the difference between our brothers and the emperor's words?"

It was a coincidence that Prince Zhu Houzhao rushed to the East Nuan Pavilion at this time. When he saw the two uncles standing at the corner of the hall talking and laughing, he felt unhappy. When he saw that he was wearing an imperial crown on his head, he was shocked and angry. Seeing that he escaped from the hall in shame, he immediately drew the guard's sword and chased him out.

Seeing that his brother was safe, Queen Zhang couldn't help but say angrily: "The two brothers are so frivolous. How dare you wear the God Crown? If Your Majesty gets angry, even I will not be able to excuse you."

Hou Shouning cried and said, "It's the brother who is making trouble, but the prince is your own son, and he can even take action against my uncle. If he succeeds the throne, will our brothers still have a way out?"

Queen Zhang snorted: "The royal family has no affection. There are not many emperors as kind as the emperor in ancient times. Oh, now the emperor is going, you should be more cautious in the future. If the Grand Secretary takes the handle, who can support you?" She said, thinking of the emperor's condition, she couldn't help but feel sad.

The Shouning Hou said anxiously: "Empress, this is not a small accident. Which princes and princes are not showing off their power? Brothers, are you so glorious? Girl, you don't know that the prince was so cruel at that time, and he had no affection for me. If Yang Shidu had saved me, my brother would have been in a different place now."

He couldn't help crying, "Empress, now the emperor is critically ill, and our Zhang family's backer is about to fall. The prince has been separated from us since he was a child, and even he has no son to you. When the prince becomes the emperor, a knife will be hung on our Zhang family, and we may be able to fall down at any time."

Queen Zhang was so confused by his words. Thinking about the fact that this son has never been close to him since he was a child, especially after he believed rumors that he was not his mother. His relationship was even more distant. He felt very sad and couldn't help but burst into tears. He said sadly: "Is it my Zhang family's blessings that have been over? I only have such a son, but I have no filial piety towards me. If he really wants to punish the Zhang family, what can I do?"

Zhang Yanling's eyes rolled and slapped his head: "Girl, why is our Zhang family prosperous? Marriage, you marry the emperor, and our Zhang family has such glory and wealth. If you want to get close to the next emperor, we still have to marry."

The queen was stunned and said suspiciously: "Marrying with the prince? The queen mother is still here, so I can't decide on choosing the queen."

Zhang Yanling said: "The girl misunderstood. The marriage that my brother said was not a marriage with the prince, but a marriage with the prince's most beloved minister."

The queen said in a daze: "Who are you with? Liu Jian? Li Dongyang? Or is the grandson of the Grand Secretary the right age?"

Zhang Yanling curled his lips and said disdainfully: "The prince doesn't like me, and he is bothered by them. What's the use of marrying them? Just now, the prince chased his brother, and I wanted to persuade him. The prince turned his sword and almost stabbed me to the heart. Listening to his brother, Yang Ling could persuade the prince to leave in just a few words. Isn't he the favorite minister whom the prince follows? Sister, you have the grace of saving him, and it is even more convenient to bring him together."

After hearing this, Empress Zhang turned cold and said, "It's outrageous. Yang Ling already has a wife. How can she be a concubine with others? Even if she is a fair wife, the princess will not share the truth about her husband with others. It's simply a royal joke?"

Zhang Yanling quickly pointed to his nose and said, "It's me, it's me, who said he was going to marry a princess? If our family doesn't say anything strange, the prince consort of the Ming Dynasty is so frustrating. Who would like to do it if he is a little promising? He is now in power and his sister is willing to marry the princess, but he may not be willing to do it. I'm talking about my daughter."

Queen Zhang said curiously: "What? Your daughter? Then you can marry, why ask me? But your daughter is also the daughter of the Marquis's family, so don't you think it's funny to marry him?"

Zhang Yanling smiled and said, "My daughter was born as a concubine, it's nothing to worry about, but I, the marquis, still have to keep my face. Otherwise, it would be a bad thing to say. If the empress gave her a marriage, it would be a beautiful story. Under the imperial edict, no one could say anything. He could treat her equally, which not only showed the queen's trust in Yang Ling, but also gave her the dignity of our family. Wouldn't both beauties?"

Zhang Heling looked at this brother who had always been stubborn and always felt that this method was a bit of a play. Of course, it was a good way to protect himself. After seeing his whisper just now, the prince left. Apart from Emperor Hongzhi, there seemed to be few who could manipulate the prince like this. But can he make a daughter try to make him work for the Zhang family? The marriage trick has been playing for thousands of years, and how many people are willing to believe it?

Queen Zhang said unhappily: "Forget it, my son wants to be the emperor, but he will be shocked to his two brothers marry their daughter to please his favorite ministers. I am really disheartened. If you are willing to make trouble, I am too lazy to care about you. But I will not come forward for you for such a shameful thing. If you want to talk, you will go by yourself. If he allows me to come forward to give the marriage, it will be just that Yang Ling loves his wife very much and refuses to even resign for her. Your daughter is not a beautiful country, this matter."

Zhang Yanling smiled and said, "Don't worry, queen, although Yang Ling is affectionate with his wife, she is also young and lustful. I heard that he has taken several beautiful concubines. Although my daughter is not a national beauty, she looks very handsome. If you agree, it will be easy. I will look for an opportunity to talk to him, and Bi Dingma will succeed."

Zhang Heling shook his head secretly and thought to himself sadly: "Looking at this, all the original wishful thinking is about to fail. Even the queen is not sure about the prince at all. Who else can make him afraid? To protect the Zhang family's foundation, it is not possible to rely on this brainless brother. Which big tree can be climbed up? Perhaps."

***************************************

The Beijing camp is a very strange team. It has always been said that a strong army must have strict military discipline, but the Beijing army is a freak. They have better equipment than the border army and weaker combat power than the border army. However, strict military discipline is better than the border army.

Yang Ling led the troops of the Third Division of Shenji Camp to defend various passes in the palace, patrolling the forbidden city gates every day, and did not dare to slack off, for fear that these officers and soldiers would suddenly enter the Forbidden City, do some stealing and seducing palace maids.

Fortunately, these things were too much thought. Even Delu, Peng Jizu was now obedient to his words. The Third Division was a deputy director promoted by Yang Ling from the Third Division. Although he was not talented, he was determined to be calm and down-to-earth, and followed the military orders. Therefore, he obeyed Yang Ling's general order and had strict constraints on his subordinates. In addition, the subordinate officials and subordinates in the army supported Yang Ling very much, so when Yang Ling led his troops into the palace, he issued the order of the generals of the three armies, and could implement the three armies, and no one dared to violate them.

After two days of inspection, the officers and soldiers were able to do their duty and follow the rules under the constraints of the generals and schoolmen. Yang Ling felt relieved.

Apart from the military discipline issue, he had nothing to worry about. Emperor Hongzhi had only one son, and the princes and grandchildren of the Zhu family had long sent out to the capital to harm local people. There was no suspense of the prince's ascending the throne, and there would be no situation where the kings were snatched away. Hongzhi's move to change troops was just a normal preventive method when the old and new emperors changed.

There is no problem with military discipline, and most of the tasks of the garrison were completed. However, Hongzhi's illness did not heal for a day, or the prince did not ascend the throne for a day, the responsibility for the garrison could not be lifted. The palace gates were closed, and the ministers who entered the palace to send memorials were all in and out of the specially established corner gates. The commander of the three armies could not leave at this time.

Yang Ling walked to the Meridian Gate. When the garrison saw that the general was coming, they all bowed to him. Yang Ling nodded to them and approached the palace gate. He faintly heard the voices outside. Yang Ling sighed in his heart: Emperor Hongzhi is really loved by his ministers. Since he was seriously ill and blocked the palace gate, a large number of officials gathered outside the Meridian Gate every day waiting for the emperor's news. Every time a minister took the memorial, a large group of officials rushed forward and asked questions. He didn't want to leave for half an hour.

He shook his head and turned around toward the Jinshui Bridge. As soon as he walked out of the shadow of the palace, Jianchang Marquis Zhang Yanling came up under the guidance of a small eunuch, and greeted him with a smile: "Mr. Yang? This Marquis is Jianchang Marquis Zhang Yanling, so I have been looking for him for a while."

Seeing that the Marquis of the Marquis of Shouning looked quite similar, Yang Ling hurriedly bowed and asked in surprise: "What's wrong with the Marquis of the Marquis of the Marquis of the Marquis of the Marquis of the Marquis of the Marquis of the People?"

Marquis Jianchang laughed and said, "A great joy! Come on, Lord Yang will take a step to speak." Marquis Jianchang Lafeng Yangling walked away a few steps and smiled and said, "Adults are young and promising, and their voices are shocked by the capital. The little girl appreciates the character and knowledge of the adults. Therefore, this Marquis recommends himself and wants to promote this marriage. You and I have a family to become Qin and Jin. Isn't this a great joy?"

Yang Ling laughed in surprise and said, "The Marquis is so reckless. Yang Ling has already married, so how can he be blessed to hire the Marquis' daughter to go through the family again?"

Marquis Jianchang laughed and said, "Of course I know this. Lord Yang has already known the matter of seeking medical treatment with his wife in Jiucheng. But because of this, the little girl admires the Lord. It is ordinary for a real man to have three wives and four concubines. What's wrong with a common wife? "

Yang Ling smiled and shook his head and said, "I have received the Marquis's good intentions. Yang Ling only has a single wife in this life, and Yang Ling can only appreciate the Marquis's good intentions."

Hou Jianchang was unhappy and said, "Mr. Yang, the Empress nodded in this matter. The Empress admires you very much. You and my family get married. If you and Empress take care of you in the future, your future will be unwilling to be discussed. If you don't agree, I'm fine, I'm afraid the Empress will be unhappy."

Yang Ling raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh? Is this the Queen's decree?"

When Zhang Yanling heard his tone, he couldn't help but feel angry: "You are too ignorant to be polite. Are you showing off your courage to resist the imperial edict, so you won't take the imperial edict seriously?"

Zhang Yanling was blushing and was about to bulge his lips and tongue again, but suddenly he heard the bell and drums ringing leisurely, and the sound waves spread throughout the imperial city. He didn't think it was the first sound, but then he realized something was wrong. At this time, it was not the time to go to court, so why did the bell and drums sound? Moreover, the bell and drums were not ringing one after another, but ringing at the same time.

An ominous feeling arose in his heart, and he couldn't help but look up at the Qianqing Palace and only heard the sound of bells and drums continuously, leisurely, and the sound was completely spread inside and outside the forbidden palace.

All the walking soldiers, palace maids, and eunuchs turned around and looked at the harem. After a moment, the Great Inner Palace was silent, and even the noisy courtiers at the palace gate disappeared. After the bells and drums were ringing, they paused for a moment, and the bells and drums rang again. First, there were only one person, then a few people, and then all of them knelt down in the direction of the Qianqing Palace and leaned over to kowtow.

Marquis Jianchang opened his mouth and couldn't speak for a moment. Finally, his knees softened and he knelt down in panic. Yang Ling was at a loss for some reason, and suddenly heard the sound of a sudden rain in the heavy palace behind him. Many people were slapping the heavy palace gate wildly, and howling sounded through the Meridian Gate and came in from outside.
Chapter completed!
