: It's almost leaking

Tong Guan was one of the "Six Thieves" of the Northern Song Dynasty. Yang Fang said that Emperor Ling of Han favored the Ten Constant Attendants. Emperor Wu of Liang was fascinated by Buddhism and did not mention those treacherous names and surnames. He only said that when Emperor Huizong of Song Dynasty mentioned the names, and placed the general Tong Guan before the powerful prime minister Cai Jing. It was obvious that he had some ideas. The generals were stupid and could not hear it. However, the civil officials had already whispered below.

Seeing that Yang Fang had made some efforts, Emperor Zhengde could not hear it, and he didn't care about playing with numerology anymore. He couldn't help but kneel down and said, "Reading history is for future generations to be a precept. The emperor should learn moral articles, believe in and express his morality, and repay his merits, and then he will be in power. Now the emperor likes to ride and shoot and read books. I heard that the emperor has left the palace many times and went to the western suburbs to watch martial arts. He is addicted to this trick, which is not done by the wise and wise emperor."

As soon as Yang Fang finished speaking, a leisurely voice in the hall said: "It turns out that if you are good at riding, shooting and performing martial arts, you are not a wise king. You can read the history books of the adults. Well, the Qin Emperor and Han Wu who have expanded their territory in the forbidden area are not a wise king."

Yang Fangyou turned around and saw that it was Yang Ling who spoke, and immediately said, "The Master said:..."

When Yang Ling heard that it was Zi again, he immediately interrupted and said, "Zheng said, "Don't use mine in every word."

"Hahahahaha..." Not only did the generals not care about the emperor sitting on the top and couldn't help laughing, but many civil officials couldn't help laughing, covering their mouths and laughing, so that Yang Ling's famous saying later became an effective weapon of destructive for military officials to deal with civil officials, and often rolled his eyes half of the civil officials.

Li Dongyang coughed twice, covered his smile, and said solemnly: "Mr. Yang, above the court and in front of the emperor, don't make fun of the saints!"

Yang Ling looked at him and saw many civil officials being angry and dissatisfied. He then smiled at Grand Secretary Li and said, "The Grand Secretary forgives his crimes. The officials just felt that the time of Confucius was in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. The pattern, situation, humanities, government affairs, and economy of various countries are different from now. Over the past thousand years, the world has changed drastically, and it has become a difference between the characters.

The sages' benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trustworthiness of all people, are certainly suitable for all worlds and cannot be changed throughout the ages. However, the sages' views on the government affairs were directed at the current affairs of the time. If people today quoted randomly and kept silent, they would not only harm the country and the people, but also corrupt the reputation of the sage."

In fact, as long as the literati who became an official and truly separated from the books had long felt that relying on the learning of the saints alone was not enough to govern the world. The so-called "half of the Analects of Confucius" was just a boast. Although wise ministers in the past called themselves disciples of Confucius and Mencius, their governance policies had long been mixed with Huang Laozhi's learning. They said it was the same thing, but they didn't believe that they could solve all problems by just a few words left by the saints.

So after listening to Yang Ling's explanation, Li Dongyang did not speak. Yang Ling turned to Yang Fang and asked, "Mr. Yang said that only practicing moral articles can govern the world, while practicing military and martial arts is a trick. Now that Miao and Xinjiang are in chaos, Tatars are looking at the dandan, which is a major problem at the Ming Dynasty at present. Can education be calmed down by just education? Only focus on education, not civil affairs, not military affairs. Can the country be stable for a long time?"

Yang Fang said disdainfully: "A group of desperate people are just a disease of mustard ringworm rather than a country. The Yuan people in the Tatars are bound by the wilderness and have no ambitions. What should we worry about? It's just an exaggeration to make a big deal."

Yang Ling smiled and said, "What a wonderful thing, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang are just the disease of mustard ringworm, and the Mongols and Yuan barbarians are not worth worrying about. Well! I believe that there must be many wise ministers like you in the Song Dynasty."

Yang Fang blushed and said angrily: "Chen Sheng and Wu Guang rebelled against tyranny. It was because the tyrannical Qin did not learn from education and treated the people harshly. Then the people called out a hundred times and resisted in groups."

Yang Ling asked back: "What about the Yuan Dynasty destroying the Song Dynasty? Are the Yuan people the righteous army? Are the Yuan people not worth worrying about?"

Wang Yang jumped out and said, "That's different. Now the Yuan people are divided into various places, located in remote and deserted, like savages. What's there to be afraid of?"

Yang Ling said: "The Yuan people came from outside the pass. Didn't they enter the Central Plains? Now they are back outside the pass, so they are not afraid of stopping the Yuan people from outside the pass?

Yang Shousui, Minister of Works, said, "This is the time and the other. Now the world is peaceful and the country is peaceful and the people are safe. Therefore, it is enough to impart a kind and benevolent government to the people. The Tatar barbarians were born in bitter and cold places, and lived by nomadic life. They were good at riding and shooting, and they were not the main farming director. It is not wise to compare martial arts with them. Therefore, they only need to use an army to block barbarism outside the country's borders, and civil strife will not arise. How can they have a gap?"

Yang Ling stretched out his finger and said, "First, the whole world is peaceful, the country is peaceful, the people are safe, and it is not impossible to say that it is right. However, as a minister, you should always have a sense of crisis. Didn't it mean that you are born from trouble and die in peace? Now my great and benevolent government is deeply loved by the people. Unfortunately, natural disasters have been constantly in recent years, and there are desperate people in the country who gather in despair from time to time. If you don't report these things, you know that you always say that you are peaceful in the world. The country is peaceful, and the people are safe, what is your intention?"

Yang Shousui was so angry that his white beard was sticking out. This sentence really became a cliché. He said it casually and was speechless. But Yang Ling used this sentence to pick his words, which made the old man very angry.

Yang Ling stretched out his finger and said, "Second, you say this one time and another, so you admit that governance should change due to the times, change from the place to the situation, and change from the situation? Then, is it also taught by the saints to abide by the rules and not know how to adapt?

"Third!" Yang Shousui was about to open his mouth, but Yang Ling shouted loudly and stopped him: If this old man said it in a long and long way, Yang Ling would not be the opponent. While he was all old men, his mind would be less than young people. In addition, every sentence was either to the emperor or to the founding kings of all generations and the kings of the destruction of the country. The old man spoke cautiously, afraid of making taboos. As long as he hesitated and wanted to organize some language, he could continue to speak.

Yang Ling raised his third finger and talked freely: "Only by only having to maintain peace in the internal affairs, there is no need to worry about foreign enemies? How do you know that foreign enemies will not develop, progress, and pacify their internal affairs like us? We should be prepared for danger in times of peace. Only Emperor Taizu and Emperor Chengzu, who are so talented and wise, will send troops to conquer the Yuan people several times to prevent them from growing stronger outside the pass."

Yang Shousui, Yang Fang (......Why are there so many people in the Yang family serving as officials? Is the Yang family the largest surname?), Wang Ao was so angry that he was almost congested. He carried Taizu and Chengzu out to help him. How could he argue? This person is too shameless!

Other officials were willing to help but dared not come forward. Some people began to remember what the topic was. Why did they talk about foreign military issues as they spoke?

Yang Ling didn't dare to give them time to consider it, and said, "Fourth!" Zhengde was overjoyed. He turned around and looked around and couldn't help but feel a little regretful. Why didn't Liu Jin and Gu Dae-yourself talents bring Liu Jin and Gu Dae-yong? Look how pleasant Yang Shidu spoke, it was much better than their chanting of the Earth Sutra.

Yang Ling took a step forward and turned his head to see the generals who were fascinated by hearing this. He couldn't help but feel a little ashamed: "My Mo Shuier is just fooling you so badly." He pointed his finger and said, "Fourth. You said that the Yuan people are good at riding and shooting, but the people in the Central Plains are not good at using force. So how can I explain the extremely powerful nomadic people, the Huns and Turks many times during the Han and Tang Dynasties?

Legend has it that the Jin soldiers were only tens of thousands of Jurchens, and they were invincible. However, the Jin people faced the Yue family army, which was a farming nation, but they were defeated repeatedly, exclaiming, "It is easy to shake Mount Tai, but it is difficult to shake the Yue family army!" What is the explanation?

What is the explanation for Xie An's explanation for the 270,000 cavalry and more than 600,000 infantry of Fu Jian, the Former Qin Dynasty in the north? Emperor Taizu of this dynasty and Emperor Chengzu fought several times, killing the Yuan people and fleeing. Sometimes when the army arrives, they can't even see the shadows of the escape. What is the explanation for this?

I tell you. During the Eastern Han Dynasty, we Han people only sent a large army to destroy half of the Huns and drove away half of them. The remnants of these Han people fled westward. Continuous conquering the East and West Goths and Germans led to the demise of an empire with a huge territory far away from the West. You can imagine how powerful my Han people were in the martial arts!”

Yang Ling didn't know how much reason these guys had to tell him. Anyway, he carried out the baby Zhu Chongba who was herding cattle, and Zhu Di, butcher from the ten clans, was afraid that it would not be enough, so he simply brought the entire Han people. The nationalism at that time was a hundred times stronger than it is now. He said, and the passionate generals shouted "Okay!"

Zhengde was like a storyteller, with his eyebrows flying and his ears scratching his head.

After Yang Ling's words, who dares to refute it again is that he is against the Ming Dynasty! Against Zhu Yuanzhang! Against the Han people in the world! If one word is not right, he may leave a message to others in the future. These people have such rich experience in officialdom, and Yang Ling's words are everywhere. No one is willing to fall into it.

But... if you don't refute, doesn't that mean he won?

Many ministers quietly touched the articles they had prepared for the night and sighed secretly. The information they prepared was all out of reality and was just talking about ideals and morals, and they didn't even care about it when they talked to others.

Yang Tinghe looked around and saw the military generals ready to beat their hands. Liu Daxia looked at each other, and the civil officials looked at each other. The three scholars kept silent. As for Zhengde, who was so happy that he was so happy that he had no emperor's appearance... Yang Tinghe decided to ignore it directly.

The three lecturers did not speak. As lecturers, Yang Tinghe had to come forward to make a summary speech. He coughed and smiled and said, "It is impossible for civil and military personnel to open but not relaxed. It is not possible for civil and military personnel to relax. One is the way for civil and military personnel to open but relaxed. The theory of governing the country, there are literature and military personnel, politics and economics. It is true that one method can understand everything, but... Listen to what Lord Yang said, do you think military affairs can determine everything?"

When Yang Ling heard this, Yang Tinghe asked him to make a summary speech. Finally he came over. He hurriedly bowed with a smile and said, "No, as the masters said just now, what determines everything is still internal affairs, government orders are clear, officials are clear, and people are rich, so that they can talk about strong country and strong soldiers. The examples given by the officials are all wise and capable of the kings and ministers, and the country is rich, so that they can train strong soldiers. However, no king does not ignore military territory. The officials only listen to Yang Lin and Yang's bias, so they speak boldly.

Military affairs should be prepared. As the saying goes, raising troops for a thousand days, using troops for a while, military affairs are supplements and guarantees for governance. You should not abandon the government in normal times and come to hurriedly cram the Buddha. The subordinate officials are military generals, so when talking about military affairs, they only talk about national affairs. Haha, the imperial lecture is to open up the road of speech, and it is not a matter of a subordinate. As for whether the land is right or not, it is no longer a matter of a subordinate."

Yang Tinghe smiled slightly, and just as he was about to speak, Zhengde was already patting the desk and said happily: "It's very good, it's very suitable for me. I'm tired, and I have to pay my respects to the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother. Let's withdraw."

Yang Tinghe bowed and ordered the end of the ceremony. All officials went down to the palace. Zhengde stood up and saw Yang Ling surrounded by all the military generals. He hurriedly shouted loudly: "Yang Aiqing, turn around and come to Donghun Pavilion. I have something to say to you."

The emperor spoke, but the generals did not dare to bother them for too long. After a while, Yang Ling shook his shoulders with his slap and left Wenhua Palace and rushed to the Ganqing Palace.

The Ganqing Palace was the main hall of the inner court, with nine rooms across the terrain and five rooms inside. On both ends are the East Warm Pavilion and the West Warm Pavilion. Since Emperor Hongzhi used to handle memorials and handle government affairs in the East Warm Pavilion, Zhengde often worked here after he ascended the throne.

Yang Ling came to the imperial road in front of the main hall of the Ganqing Palace. He was about to turn to the east warm pavilion when suddenly the golden pavilion creaked. Two little eunuchs pushed open the hall door and walked out of the inside.

The gilded bronze pavilions on the two stone platforms on both sides of the terrace in front of the Ganqing Palace are called the Golden Palace of Jiangshan and Soochow. Four partition doors are installed on each side of the pavilion. This round and pointed upper eaves are cast in an ancient and elegant treasure roof. It symbolizes that the country is in the hands of the emperor, and people in the palace call it the Golden Pavilion.

Apart from sweeping eunuchs, people were not allowed to enter the ground. Yang Ling couldn't help but take a look. Two little eunuchs walked out of the hall gate with whisks, standing left and right, and then the two palace maids hugged a pretty man in a pale yellow palace dress and walked out of the hall gate. The beautiful man's head was slightly sideways, and his wonderful eyes were just facing Yang Ling in military uniform.

When he saw Yang Ling, the beauty in the palace was stunned at first, and then her eyes emitted a glimmer of joy. The faint eyebrows, which were like a crescent moon, also bent. Yang Ling recognized that she was Princess Yongfu, hurriedly stepped forward, bowed in the audience and said, "My minister Yang Ling, I have seen Your Highness the Princess!"

Now Princess Yongfu's brother has become the emperor, and he should be renamed the eldest princess by etiquette, so Yang Ling called him that. Princess Yongfu's heart beat a little quickly. She had an inexplicable feeling about this young man outside the palace whom she had contacted. Yang Ling had never stopped after entering Beijing. There was always news from him that was passed into the harem through the eunuchs, and then the palace maids around her made her know. Even if she wanted to forget, she couldn't forget it.

A few days ago, I heard that Yang Ling was imprisoned for the imperial tomb case. Princess Yongfu really took a lot of thought for him. However, no matter from any aspect, she was inconvenient and could not come forward to plead for him. She could only hope that God would bless him and save him a life. Later, Yang Ling really survived the disaster, which made the little girl happy for a long time.

Unexpectedly, I thought it was rare to see the man next to me, but today I could see him. Princess Yongfu was stunned for a moment, and then smiled happily and said, "It turns out that he is the mighty uncle Yang, please don't give me a favor!"

"Yes!" Yang Ling stood up straight, respectfully not daring to look up at her. Princess Yongfu felt a little disappointed when she saw her. Even if she saw her, what if they saw each other, they were as far away as the world. The light of joy in Yongfu's eyes could not help but dim.

At this moment, a Taoist priest came out behind Princess Yongfu. The little Taoist priest was only sixteen or seventeen years old and was wearing a Taoist robe. He was a court official in a rank-level court. There was a red sandalwood hook on the Taoist bun, and his black hair was dyed like lacquer. His appearance was clear and handsome, but he was young and handsome, and he could not tell any immortal style.

As soon as he came out, a Taoist boy came out behind him, two years younger than him, with a nose like a hanging gallbladder and a starry-eyed star. He was so beautiful that he was wearing an ordinary gray-green Taoist robe.

The older Taoist priest glanced at a general standing under the stage, and couldn't help but smile and bowed: "Your Highness Yongfu, is this general..."

Princess Yongfu hurriedly said: "This is Yang Ling, the commander of the Emperor's personal guards, General Yang, and this is Hongzhan Zhenren."

Seeing that Princess Yongfu was very respectful to the young man, Yang Ling hurriedly bowed and said, "I have seen Yang Ling before."

But he couldn't help but mutter in his heart, wasn't it said that since Emperor Hongzhi drove away the monks of the warlock, he no longer favored Buddhism? Who found such a young boy pretending to be a ghost? He actually dared to go straight into the inner palace and let the princess accompany him into the Jinting. It seems that he is extremely favored.

Princess Yongfu saw that Yang Ling looked dull and knew that he still didn't know the boy's identity, so she couldn't help but smile. She lifted her skirt lightly and walked down slowly. The two Taoist priests, the little eunuch, and the palace maid followed behind and went down the stone steps.

Princess Yongfu walked up to Yang Ling and said softly: "General Yang, this real person is Zhengyisi Sect Zhixu Chong Jing Chengxianhongzhan Zhenren, who is in charge of Taoist affairs in the world and is the 48th generation of Tianshi Master of Longhu Mountain."

Yang Ling was shocked. It turned out to be the national master. No wonder Princess Yongfu treated her so politely. He didn't expect that the dignified national master was so young and quickly greeted the national master again.

The little Taoist priest behind the national master squeezed to Princess Yongfu, with a pair of black eyes looking up and down curiously, then frowned and slightly feminine brows and asked in confusion: "Are you Yang Ling? Are you Yang Ling who resisted the order to save his wife?"

The true man Hongzhan was not young but extremely imposing. He frowned slightly and scolded, "Taobao, retreat, you must not be rude."

The little Taoist priest stuck out his tongue and retreated behind him. Yang Ling saw that the little Taoist priest called Fu Baodi approached the princess casually, and Princess Yongfu was not angry at all. She couldn't help but secretly exclaimed in her heart. However, although this Tianshi was not of high official rank, just like the three Grand Secretary in the cabinet, all of whom were of the fifth and sixth rank, his power was extremely great and he could not be offended casually.

He hurriedly smiled and said, "Yes, I dare not resist the order. It's just that the people spread rumors. Your Highness, the emperor summoned me to go to Donghunting Pavilion to see the emperor. I will go there."

A trace of reluctance flashed quickly in Princess Yongfu's eyes. She nodded slightly, looking at Yang Ling's departure's back, a little stunned. But the Zhang Tianshi was also stunned when she looked at Yang Ling's back, frowning as if thinking.

Princess Yongfu quickly woke up and felt that she had lost her composure. A blush flashed across her white jade-like face. She turned around in a slut, "The Heavenly Master has prayed for blessings, but have you ever returned to the harem to see her mother?"

"Ah?" Tianshi Zhang Yanshuo was counting in his sleeves. When he heard Princess Yongfu ask, he hurriedly said, "No, Xiaodao will go to the palace to pray for blessings on the day of the wedding. Today, when he arrived at the capital, he hurried to pay homage to the emperor and the queen mother. Xiaodao wanted to take advantage of the slightest visit to Duke Cheng's mansion."

The 47th generation of Heavenly Master Zhang Yuanqing married Duke Cheng's daughter according to the imperial edict, and was given a python garment and jade belt. He was both the national teacher and the imperial relative. This little Heavenly Master was Zhang Yuanqing's only son and grandson of Duke Cheng. Since he came to the capital, he certainly wanted to meet his grandfather.

Princess Yongfu smiled and said, "Since that's the case, I will go back. Xiao Anzi, send the national master out of the palace."

True Man Hongzhan bowed to Princess Yongfu and walked out with an eunuch. The little Taoist priest named Fu Baodi chased him and walked side by side with him, whispering: "Brother, what are you calculating just now? Isn't that Yang Ling's face a bit ancient..."

Hongzhi stopped attentively, covered his mouth, glared at him fiercely, and scolded: "Shut up, disaster comes from the mouth!"

He quickly looked at the little eunuch leading the way in front of him. Seeing that he was not paying attention, he breathed a sigh of relief. He let go of his hand and said, "Let's talk about it when you go back, and I'll cause trouble for me again, and I won't take you out!" He said that, and hurriedly caught up with the little eunuch and walked forward.
Chapter completed!
