Chapter 245 The artillery is expected

Cheng Qiyun and Guiluo's light shirt, with dark eyebrows like fog, and her posture was graceful and delicate. She walked gently to the window, slowly pushed open the diamond-shaped window, staring at Zhengde, who was sitting under the peach blossom tree, leaning against the stone in plain clothes, and Tang Yixian, who was standing under the tree with graceful clothes.

There was a flat bluestone under the tree, with an guqin on Zhengde's knees, and Tang Yixian held a purple bamboo flute in his hand. When the breeze passed, the crimson petals fell gently, as if they were in a fairyland.

"There are few people in the upper hand who recognize Miss Tang. In the past, the adults led their female relatives into the military camp. Because of the emperor's favor, the matter was handled very low-key. The court only knew that something happened to the adults and female relatives, and no one heard of her name. This is enough. Who could have thought that General Yang's cousin would be an unknown woman who disappeared from a cliff in the past?"

Cheng Qiyun suddenly turned around and smiled slightly, "So it's easy for a humble official to return her innocent identity. "The Flower House" and the Jiaofangsi, all the joints and low official positions are well aware of. With the power of the inner factory, all the files are replaced by the records. Even if there is someone who is not afraid of death, just by opening his mouth, who dares to say irresponsible to the emperor's beloved concubine?"

"Just...just..." Cheng Qiyun looked at Yang Ling indifferently, hesitating.

Yang Ling leaned leaning against a square side of a mahogany carved marble, raised his cup and took a sip of tea, and said with a smile: "What? What's there to say?"

Cheng Qiyun bit her lip and whispered: "I am just afraid of... I have worked hard but I am not understood by the adults."

Her words were so soft and delicate that it was touching to hear them. Yang Ling raised her eyes and looked at her. Seeing her back against the window, her eyebrows were locked lightly, she seemed to be really worried. She couldn't help but put down the teacup and smiled and said, "Qiyun. If you have something to say, you can't tell whether Yang believes in you or not?"

He listened to the heart-warming feeling, but he was less... the affection he wanted in his heart. Cheng Qiyun glanced at him with anger and resentment, and then said: "I am only worried about one thing, and the lord jumped too quickly. A big man is in the local area and in the court. He has worked hard for many years and has made countless connections and has been loyal to him, but the lord lacks the foundation for such a solid foundation.

A high position is dangerous. Since ancient times, if an adult was a minister of the ages, or had worked hard for decades to reach his current position, no one would care about sending relatives to the palace as a concubine, but he was already at the highest position in his prime. At this time, a cousin became the emperor's favorite, which was ruled by thousands of men and hated by the whole country. Although the emperor was trusted by the emperor, three people became tigers, how could he know the future... The reason for the misfortune and fortune to depend on each other for decades" Yang Ling was quite touched when he heard Cheng Qiyun's words. He originally felt that Zhengde was anxious and wise to let himself recognize an immortal as his cousin, and had a cousin who could take care of the immortal. He did not think about it much, and he walked slowly with his hands behind his back. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that doing so was reckless.

Yang Ling pondered for a moment and said, "In your opinion, how about you?"

Cheng Qiyun's eyes turned and said, "She came together with her arrogant name, Liu Liangnu. How could she ask the princess of Dai to recognize her as her adopted daughter? Just the princess. If someone wants to check her identity, it would be a big hurdle that cannot be overcome. What do you think?"

Yang Ling stopped and stared at Cheng Qiyun's silver-faced satin boots for a while without saying a word. Cheng Qiyun shrank her feet a little crampedly. Yang Ling nodded and said, "It makes sense. I'll go see Yixian. I always have to see what she means."

Tang Yixian has determined his feelings since he was determined. He originally wanted to tease the two good sisters and then tell the truth about his memory recovery, but Gao Wenxin has cured Wang Longdi's automatic sleeping disease since he was cured. He seemed to be a little sure of it. He came to her with a bright silver needle every day to treat her. Tang Yixian was really afraid and had to beg for mercy to tell the truth.

After hearing the news, Yu Tangchun was inexplicably surprised. Xue Limei ran to hug her. The three of them talked and laughed, and finally hugged each other and finally recognized each other again. At the same time, they recognized Yang Ling as their elder brother. Because she already knew her identity, Yang Ling was not worried about how to ask her to recognize her as the adopted daughter of Dai Wang.

Yang Ling moved out of the house and slowly walked to the edge of the pond.

Tang Yixian and Zhengde were auditioning while studying the second half of "Killing Bian Music", hoping to work together to create a wonderful music. A beautiful figure stood under the tree, and her Tingting's reflection was reflected in the water. Tang Yixian saw Yang Ling and happily greeted him and said, "Big Brother".

Yang Ling nodded, stood under the vine and said to Tang Yixian, and then said, "Qiyun's concerns make sense. If you enter the palace as the adopted daughter of the princess, you will lose many taboos. Otherwise, as the sister of the important minister of the foreign court, your every move will attract attention from the court and the country. Xian'er, what do you think?"

Tang Yixian thought silently for a moment, turned his head to look at Zhengde. Zhengde fiddled with the strings of the piano, saw her turn, and smiled slightly at her. Tang Yixian sighed softly and said, "Marrying the emperor has reduced many troubles from ordinary families, but it still has to increase some troubles from the imperial family. In the world, eight out of ten people are not satisfied, and Xian'er finally realized it."

She bit her lip, turned her head and said to Yang Ling Yanran, "Brother, I'll discuss it with him, okay?"

Yang Ling nodded and turned away. Tang Yixian stared at his figure and turned around the corner of the vine pillar, then walked towards Zhengde Shanshan, sat cross-legged on the bluestone beside him, and whispered Yang Ling's words to Zhengde.

Zhengde held the strings of the piano with both hands, and after listening to Tang Yixian's words, he smiled indifferently: "That's easy, so I issued a secret decree to let King Dai recognize you as his adopted daughter. What's the point of having a strong identity? I love Tang Yixian, not your identity, and it will be successful, as long as it won't make you upset."

Tang Yixian gave him a blank look and said coquettishly: "You are the emperor, of course you don't care about anything. I ask you, what is my origin, you really don't care?"

Zhengde laughed and said, "Of course I don't care."

Tang Yixian said decisively: "Okay, then... there is no need to hide it or sneak. Emperor Zhengde of the Ming Dynasty wanted to marry the earth concubine Tang Yixian, who was the priest of the 'Flower House', so I will marry you in this capacity!"

Zhengde hesitated slightly and said hesitantly: "Xian'er, why should I cure this? What's wrong with letting the King of Dai recognize you as his adopted daughter?"

Tang Yixian looked up slightly at him. His eyes were full of stubbornness as children. Gradually, tears flashed out from his starry eyes and he sobbed: "What do you say that someone who only loves me? Do you dislike my identity?" Zhengde panicked and hurriedly held her hand. Tang Yixian shook her pretty face and threw it away. Zhengde blushed and said: "Who do I want to like? That's the family affairs of the emperor. Who dares to speak out? What am I afraid of? What will I hate you?

Xian'er, I do this because I want to give you the title of queen. If you want to be queen, those ministers will inevitably cry and run to annoy me again. Although I am not afraid of them, I am always troublesome. It's not... I don't dislike you."

When Tang Yixian heard his true feelings, she couldn't help but burst into tears. She raised her palm and wiped her tears, and said with a whisper: "I don't want to be a queen. If you want to fight south and north in the future, you will create a place of unparalleled achievements. At that time, as the queen, you must be an example in the world and guard the six palaces. It is difficult to see you.

Besides, my identity is not unknown. It will be a big trouble sooner or later when it is covered up. I don’t want to live in worry every day. Now let the world clearly know that the women favored by emperors have become much more humble since ancient times, and this will make them unable to catch up.

Otherwise, you think, if someone knows that I have concealed my identity and I have been very close to Yangling, the outer court. If there is no conspiracy, they will say that there is a conspiracy. The Ming Dynasty never had a precedent for interfering in politics. This handle was caught. In order to show my thoughts, my elder brother had to resign and retire. From then on, I would be stared at all the actions of hundreds of civil and military officials, and show them to the point of weakness first, and they would have no way to attack."

Zhengde focused on his mind for a moment, and suddenly put the piano to the side. He shook his clothes and said, "You are right. The dead pig is not afraid of boiling water. Now he says it, so they can avoid talking about your identity in the future."

Tang Yixian made a gesture and wanted to beat him, and said with a smile: "Spit! What is the analogy? Who do you say is dead... death... where are you going?"

Zhengde said seriously: "I will enter the palace now, report to my mother, notify the Ministry of Internal Affairs and order the Chief Li to give me a gold book!"

According to the rules, the queen gave her a gold book and a gold treasure when she got married, but the concubine had a gold book but no treasure. The concubine had a gold book and there was no gold book below. Zhengde loved Tang Yixian so much, so how could she be compromised?

He had made up his mind to make Tang Yixian the imperial concubine first. As long as Tang Yixian gave him a dragon son, he would give him gold treasures according to ancient rules. When his son grew up, he would be crowned prince. At that time, he could be promoted to the queen and establish the two queens together. In this way, it would be more appropriate to follow the steps and do it as soon as he thought about it.

Tang Yixian laughed in surprise and said, "Why are you so unhappy? Who said you want to... marry you now? Humph, I want to accompany Xueer and Yuer, and only then will I marry you after my young mother's sister gives birth to a baby."

Zhengde smiled as he walked, "If you think about it, you will do it, that's me. The imperial concubine also needs to choose a day. I told the Imperial Heaven Supervisor to choose the day after August Mid-Autumn Festival. During this period, if there are those who are not open, I just want to suck his spirit first."

The emperor accepted a concubine, except for granting the mother's title of the lord of the six palaces in the world, the ministers of the six palaces in the world, and they had the right to argue, and ordinary concubines had no right to interfere. Despite this, the emperor wanted to take a woman who grew up in a brothel as his concubine, and as soon as he entered the palace, he became an imperial concubine, and his status was second only to the queen, which still caused strong dissatisfaction among the ministers. The memorials of tactful advice were sent to the leopard room in bundles.

Zhengde was still the nephew who was lying lanterns, as usual. He didn't even look at the memorials. After two days, he felt distressed that the paper was coming. With an order, Liu Jin became a villain again: the national treasury was tight and the cost was reduced. The pens, ink, paper and inkstones received by each department were reduced to one-third, and the memorials given to the emperor were no longer shabby. The memorials for this advice were indeed greatly reduced.

In the past few days, Yang Ling left only Feng Tang, the second-level leader of the inner factory, and promoted two deputy directors of the former Shenji Battalion to be the second-level leader, and arranged two new beloved generals of Lian Delu and Peng Jizu into Datong. The generals of the two towns of Xuanfu were appointed as deputy generals. At the same time, they promoted Ren Yansui, the garrison of the left-sailing army of the Genshin Impact, and the generals of the two towns of Liaodong, to teach him tactical skills and war concepts of martial arts in the mountains.

Yang Ling Youcheng Qiyun planned and helped him behind the scenes. In addition, he was in a high position and was harmonious with others. He lived with the generals of the four towns day and night and had close contacts. The four veterans who had outstanding military achievements were all convinced by Yang Ling. In addition, this time, the four foreign armies were firmly controlled by Yang Ling.

On this day, Yang Ling and Zhengde were training troops in the suburbs of the city, and suddenly received a report from the news that Liu Yu, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of War, had an urgent request. Yang Ling did not take time to return home and hurriedly drove his horse to the Ministry of War.

Liu Yu hurriedly welcomed Yang Ling into the study room, smiled and bowed, "Sir, please pay attention to the news about pirates in Guangdong and Guangxi, and the officials dare not neglect them. If you have any news in Guangdong and Guangxi, you must report to the capital as soon as possible. Now you have received a few news. I think it is the concern of the adults, so I am eager to report to the adults."

Yang Ling had just finished his seat, but suddenly stood up again after hearing this and said anxiously: "What's the news? Tell me quickly and listen to me."

Liu Yu received two secret reports and said to Yang Ling: "Sir, please see, this is news that a minister from the Malay Peninsula (located in the Malacca Strait, a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty) asked us to send troops to aid the country. It was said that a large number of red-haired pirates conquered Manchuca. Because it was not a consultation from the king of the other country, the Guangdong Commander-in-Chief was not satisfied.

However, the commander-in-chief asked some of the situations from the minister who fled in panic, and felt that the pirates were in a similar way to the advice of the adults, so he sent someone to report to the capital."

When Yang Ling heard that the Manta Kaguo was captured by pirates, he couldn't help but be shocked. If what he said was true, would the Portuguese pirates be so rampant at this time? There were actually a large army appearing near the Ming Dynasty?

Don’t look at the inconspicuous modern Portuguese people. Most of the janitors in Western Europe are Portuguese, with a round and rosy face. They are cute and very loyal. However, they don’t know that there are pirates from the Ming Dynasty, the most vicious group of people, and the sea is their world.

Yang Ling didn't even look at the report carefully and asked anxiously: "Mentao Jiaguo was captured? Where is the king of that country? Why didn't he ask for help in person? How many people are there in this large pirate?"

Liu Yu hurriedly said: "According to the minister, Mantaga Sultan fled to the deserted island in the southeast of Temasek (Singapore), and now he could not find it. He had to turn to the Ming Dynasty for help. The pirates were extremely powerful, driving five warships, carrying dozens of artillery pieces, about 400 people."

Yang Ling: "…Destroy the country…Four hundred people…"

Yang Ling was stunned for a moment and said, "No matter what, Mantaojia is always a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty. If he ignores it, it will make the vassal state disappointed. This matter should be reported to the emperor quickly. Since the king of that country cannot be found, he cannot request reinforcements in person. He should also quickly observe the situation of the country and let the navy prepare early in order to help the Sultan restore the country.

Moreover, the sea is about to open, and the Strait of Malacca cannot be lost. A group of robbers who are robbing families will affect the passage of merchant ships. Especially their artillery, we must find a way to get it."

He walked around twice and couldn't wait to say, "Take a military report, let's go to see the emperor together. These things are extremely important. You must ask the emperor to issue an order immediately, and it is not allowed to delay."

"Yes, yes," Liu Yu bowed and said, "The officials have another important matter to report, but it was submitted by the Guangdong Provincial Government Office to the Ministry of Revenue. Due to the foreign-related military dispute, the Ministry of Revenue transferred it to the Ministry of War."

Liu Yu said: "This happened a few days before the envoys of Manchuka State fled to the Ming Dynasty. A group of people took a boat to Huaiyuan Post Office in Guangzhou and claimed to be the envoys of Manchuka State's tribute.

However, although they wrapped their heads in white cloth and were all wearing long robes, they had eagles with concave eyes, blond hair and green eyes, and most of them had body odor. Huaiyuan Post Chief had seen the tribute envoys of Mantaga, and saw that they didn't even have any etiquette of tribute envoys, he became suspicious, so he reported to the yamen of the ruling corps. The ruling corpses asked people to interrogate. Seeing that these people could not hide, they admitted that they came from the distant West, a country called Folangji..."

Yang Ling was shocked when he heard this, and his eyes suddenly lit up. It seemed that he had seen a new cannon standing in front of him. He suppressed his excitement and asked anxiously: "Folang Ji? What are they here to do?"

Liu Yu said: "They said that they were far away and heard that there was a huge empire like the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, they wanted to come and see it, but they were afraid that they would not be received by the Celestial Empire, so they took the initiative to slaughter the Chinese people. The governor asked them for a letter of nationality, but these people could not be taken out.

There is no country in "The Ming Dynasty". The Administrator believes that it must be the country in the sky that is admiring the heavenly dynasty from afar. He ordered the postmaster to entertain them with good wine and vegetable fields, but then the incident happened that the Minister of the Manchu-sected Canadians fled to our court for help. After hearing this, the Administrator realized that those people might be robbers and hurriedly arrested the inspection department. Unexpectedly, those people had short muskets with a very fast firing rate, killed and injured several yamen servants, and hurried to the beach and fled on the boat."

"The General Administration and the General Office thoroughly investigated and found that Xifan, who looked similar to these Florians had purchased silk, porcelain and other items along the coast a few years ago. Because there were fewer people, and the other was never deep into the land, and they followed the rules, no one reported it to the above."

Yang Ling's heart moved. It seemed that these pirates also wanted to do business. Although the Chinese porcelain they bought at the beach was not the best, it was a beautiful and precious thing when they took it back to China. I think they were single and weak in the past. They followed the rules and did not dare to involve the law. Now they have won Malacca and thought they could challenge the military power of the Ming Dynasty, so they sent people to inquire?

If this is the case, then the purpose of these Bolang Ji people who were full of envoys to go ashore was to spy on the Ming Dynasty. At that time, the navy rarely encountered opportunities to fight with foreign troops, and there was no sense of confidentiality at all. I am afraid that the navy's ships and artillery had already been clearly controlled by them. As long as they estimated that there would be a chance to defeat the Ming Dynasty, the day of attacking the Ming Dynasty would definitely not be far away.

Thinking of this, Yang Ling hurriedly said, "Go away quickly and see the emperor immediately. It seems that not only will we send spies to immediately investigate the situation in Manchu-State, but the navy in Guangdong, Fujian and other places should also strengthen their vigilance. I am afraid that there will be war soon."

Liu Yu didn't know what basis he had, so he was so sure, but seeing that he looked so serious, he didn't dare to ask more questions. The two hurriedly left the Ministry of War and headed straight to the Leopard Room.

After handing over the waist sign, the two hurried to the house where Zhengde was used to living. When they saw the house, they saw Liu Jinzheng standing in front of the case. Zhengde held a book in his hand and looked solemn. When he saw Yang Ling coming in, he couldn't help but express his joy and said, "Yang Qing is just here. I have an important thing. I really don't know who to hand it to, so I feel relieved."
