Chapter 318(1/2)

No stopping

After all, he couldn't sleep for a long time in the hot water. After only less than an hour of sleep, Yang Ling woke up. The gentle massage of the hot water restored his strength quickly. He wanted to rub his body gently, but the slight sound of water still woke up the young mother. He served his husband to clean himself and put on a soft robe. The two of them returned to the bedroom together. The old mother was afraid of arguing about the master and wanted to carry the child out, but Yang Ling stopped him.

The child was sleeping soundly. The couple looked at it for a while and lie down with their clothes. They snuggled together and whispered. After so long separation, they could not express their feelings until now since Yang Ling came back. However, they were extremely tired and chatted for a while. After the shower, their energy had just faded away. Young ladies were laid on Yang Ling's chest. Yang Ling held her waist and fell asleep again.

The two were woken up by the child's loud voice. Unless Mr. Yang had enough food and drink, he would not urinate or pee, he would feel a little uncomfortable and would not see anyone around him when he woke up, so he would always cry loudly.

The two of them hurriedly got up. With the help of the old mother who came here, the young mother first put the child in a piss, changed her clothes, and fed her breasts. Then the old mother took her to another room to play with her. Seeing that it was dawn, the young mother hurriedly dressed up and said to Yang Ling, "My husband, do you still have to go to court today?"

Yang Ling lay lazily on the couch and said, "No, I'll take a good rest at home today. Some subordinates and friends will also visit you. I'll go to Jin to meet the emperor tomorrow."

When the young lady heard this, she was very happy. She combed her hair and smiled, "Then get up first and have some breakfast, then have a good sleep in the inner study. If any guests come, just invite them in."

Yang Ling stretched, jumped up from the couch, and cheered up and said, "Okay, I'm back home. I feel much more fulfilled. Let's go to have a meal first."

In the Yang family's flower hall, Yu Jie'er, Tang Yixian and others were already dressed up and sat there waiting for him. It can be seen that Yu Jie'er and Xue Limei must have gotten up very early and dressed up carefully. The beautiful and beautiful face of Yang Ling is not commonly seen in the mansion.

Yang Ling happily greeted them. Suddenly, he felt that there was one person missing, and his eyes were everywhere. Sister Yu had already stood up knowingly and said, "Master, I have been persuading you for a while, but Sister Wenxin is ashamed to see you. I was thinking about whether to ask someone to bring the food to her room."

Yang Ling had heard her mother tell him about Wen Xin's marriage, a young and beautiful girl who was deeply in love with you. She knew that you had died, but she took the initiative to come to the door, willing to keep your pride for you for the rest of her life, and was willing to live as a concubine. Although Yang Ling did not agree with this behavior, she was moved indescribably.

Yang Ling was busy after returning to the mansion. Before he could talk to her in detail, Gao Wenxin's identity was extremely embarrassing. He had said that he had not passed the house. He said that he had not passed the house, and the sedan chair was carried to the door of Yang's house. Now it was not suitable to go back to his own place, and it was embarrassing to stay. It was really embarrassing.

Yang Ling thought for a moment, stood up and smiled, "Don't you just want me to say something in person? You women, you are so kind... Haha, let's go and take Miss Gao. From now on, Wen Xin will be from our Yang family. Everyone in the Yang family must be harmonious and no one can be bullied."

Xuelimei sat beside her, covering her mouth and laughed, "Sister Wenxin has long been the master's member. It should be said that from now on, she will be considered a true achievement."

Yang Ling didn't know she was saying something else. She smiled and pinched her pink cheeks, saying, "You are just sly. Very good. When the master finishes his business, you and your young lady will bear the family law together."

After he said this, Han Youniang and Xue Limei's faces suddenly turned red. Tang Yixian now knew what the Yang family law was. She rolled up her sleeves and said whispered: "Okay, let Sister Yu and Sister Wen Xin go too. Let's take a slap first. Each person is forty slaps. If the elder brother's hand is numb, the girl will help you get a rolling pin."

Xue Limei turned around and scratched her itch. The two of them started to fight with laughter. Yang Ling gave Yu Jie'er a look and left the flower hall with her one after another.

As soon as he saw him leave, Tang Yixian immediately jumped to Han Youniang and said excitedly: "Sister Youniang, what are you thinking? Are we good at it? He pretended to be dead and scared us. He was just a slap in his mind, it was harmless."

Han Youniang said in embarrassment: "It's better...... don't, my husband's identity......if it annoys him or is heard by others, it's not good."

"How could it be? My brother has a good temper and has no official airs. The emperor is still making trouble all day long. He doesn't have the upper beam straight and the lower beam is crooked. He just thinks it's a big show. I really want to see him wearing a red veil." Tang Yixian said with a smile.

Xue Limei also pulled Han Youniang's sleeve and begged, "Sister, you agree. No one in our house is afraid of the master, but if you don't nod, no one dares to make trouble. This is so fun, haha, a big man is a phoenix crown and a red robe, which is rare in a thousand years. He has spoken himself, but he can't blame others."

The two of them pulled Han Youniang's sleeves left and right and acted coquettishly, and said softly and greasyly: "Good sister, please, just nod your head."

The two little beauties pretend to be charming, even women can't stand it. Han Youniang got goosebumps and hurriedly begged: "Okay, okay, I'm afraid of you two little goblins, don't play too much."

When Tang Yixian and the other two saw her agreeing, they were excited. Xue Limei sat there and pinched her chin. Tang Yi looked even more frowning and smiled, making Han Youniang secretly regret it.

Yang Ling strode forward, walked out of the flower hall and walked to the corridor and suddenly stopped. Looking at the many new houses and pavilions added in his backyard, he asked with his hands in his waist, "Uh... Where is Wen Xin living?"

Sister Yu followed him and was half a step away from him. Hearing this, she came over and said, "I'm taking the master over."

Yang Ling noticed her restraint and etiquette, as if she had been away from Jing for a few months. He glared at Yu Tangchun, hugged her slender waist, rubbed her palms for a while, felt the softness and warmth, and smiled and said, "My husband has been away from Jing for a few months, your slim waist has become much softer, my jade is so charming and more feminine."

Sister Yu suddenly blushed and shouted in a cramped manner: "Oh. My master, let go, this is outside, let the servant see it."

Yang Ling burst into laughter, let go of her hand, waved her gesture, and pinched her round and pink buttocks, compared to before. Although her buttocks were still not big, her buttocks were thicker and stronger. She had just passed the sixteenth, but she was already a wife and had a good life. Now Sister Yu'er's figure and style are indeed becoming more and more mature.

"You," Yang Ling ignored Yu Jie'er's struggle and took her little hand and said as she walked: "Don't get more scruples when you get older. The young lady doesn't say that, I'm really happy with you to accompany me, just like living in heaven and earth.

There are not so many rules in our family. No matter how old I am, the one who remembers me is your husband, what kind of husband, husband, and master, I can't help but show it to outsiders. When I close the door, I am your husband, you are my wife, and there are so many atrocities between husband and wife, how boring is it?

The young lady is more subtle and restrained, not to mention literary thoughts. If you think you should be cautious and always keep your concubine's duty, the Xueer you bring sooner or later will become like a warm pot of water. Is it interesting?"

"Yes, Master." Yu Tangchun was moved in his heart and couldn't help but hold Yang Ling's big hand tightly. She was indeed a little too much. In the past, a young lady spoiled her and was accompanied by a more lively Xuelimei. She was like a happy lark, unrestrained and unconscious.

But now Gao Wenxin is about to enter the house. She was originally a lady from a wealthy family and a dignified female medical officer. Moreover, the Yang family still relied on her to apply acupuncture. Even the young lady was grateful to her. She was treated as a fair wife, but Yu Tangchun had no complaints.

But what she was worried about was that once such ladies came in, because of their different cultivation and education since childhood, they would no longer indulge them to be arrogant without being big or small. The confidants from Yang's house were all from Miss Gao, so they would not say a word to each other? That was why they restored the duty that a rich concubine should have, and they dared not act arrogantly in front of Yang Ling.

After hearing Yang Ling's words, her heart was warm and tears couldn't help but fill her eyes: "My husband, I can't find such a man in the world. He not only loves my appearance, but also treats me, a brothel and humble little girl, as his wife. What can I ask for in this life? His deep affection and righteousness, even if I am a Yutangchun, I can't repay you..."

When Yang Ling saw her expression, she couldn't help but sigh, took her hand, and said as she walked: "Yu'er, are you unwilling to let your heart come in, but you can be on an equal footing with You Niang, so you have resentment..."

Sister Yu hurriedly waved her hand and said, "Master, it's not the land, no, I'm just worried that Sister Wenxin's family style is very strict and she dare not be too presumptuous."

Yang Ling thought for a while and waved his hand and said, "I really don't know if there is a saying of a fair wife. If I had known, what kind of wives and concubines would be divided into? If this were the case, I would have to be balanced. You and Xueer would also be balanced. Haha, let's sit in a row and eat fruits, don't fight for anyone, and don't rob anyone. Hi, in fact, our family didn't have the status of the higher and lower ones, and their status...... Alas!"

Yu Tangchun was happy at first, then his expression became dim and said quietly: "Master, don't you dare to be arrogant because of favor? Since ancient times, he said, 'one wife, two common wives and four partial concubines', which means three wives and four concubines. Now the number of concubines is no longer limited, but the common wife is still limited. Although the master is the most powerful minister, at most he can only have one first wife and two common wives. Sister Wenxin and his wife are equally married, no one will be too concerned. If the concubine also becomes a fair wife, it will cause chaos."

Yang Ling was curious. It turned out that three wives and four concubines were the origin of this. He simply stopped and asked. It turned out that the wealthy had at most one wife and more concubines. If they had two wives, they would usually be punished. However, after the emerging aristocratic class developed, they often had marriages out of political needs, or if the superiors gave marriages to win over their effective subordinates, whether it was a marriage or a marriage, the woman was naturally his own relatives and could not be treated as a concubine. Most of the people they had married or won over were successful in their careers, and they were not young boys who had not married yet. In this way, a new rule was gradually emerged: a fair wife.

But civilians cannot. Even if you are rich enough to compete with a country, you can only have one wife if you have money to take 10,000 concubines or maids. This is called "a common husband and wife". Of course, there is still a difference between a common wife. The first wife is a legitimate wife, and the social status is equal to that of a husband. Whether in the home or outside, in the family, in uniform, car system and other etiquette, the common wife is slightly inferior, but there is no need to pay concubine ceremony to a legitimate wife, and the family status is basically the same.

Yu Jie'er said it seriously. Yang Ling was dizzy when she heard it. It turned out that there was a limit on this thing. Wen Xin entered the door and only one of the indicators for wife-making was left. Let Yu Tangchun, Xuelimei, and Ma Lian'er compete fairly, justly, and openly. Become a judge. By the way, there is also an unmarried person.... His wife Adni is also a baron after all, and she is a friendly foreigner. There is a great advantage in competition.

Forget it! Yang Ling obediently gave up this stupid idea and said dryly: "So, unless I split my wife in half, I can only divide the land. Haha, don't care about this. Wen Xin is not a stubborn lady. I'm afraid that you will take her crazy too."

Yutang glanced at Chuncai and couldn't help but smile: "I haven't thought that it was the master's idea. Forget it, let's not say anything anymore. Master's words... I don't know how happy I am after hearing this. Look, Sister Wenxin's room has arrived, so Master should go in by himself. Some words are convenient to say. Hehe."

Gao Wenyi's new house turned out to be next to the courtyard of Yangling and Youniang. This is the first new building to open a row of new buildings to the backyard. New building, new house, new people...

The newlyweds were naturally a little embarrassed when they met the groom. Although they were having a ghost marriage, under the arrangement of the escaped Master Luo, the room was covered with red flowers and red candles, and the arrangement was exactly the same as that of the ordinary newlyweds' bridal chamber. However, yesterday they were miserable outside, but the room was full of joy and a bit weird.

After Yang Ling came back alive, Gao Wenxin was busy in the middle of the night and removed the newlyweds in the room, but there were still some traces. Yang Ling was very free and easy outside. As soon as he entered the house, he looked at Gao Wenxin, who was already his wife, and he didn't know what to say. The two of them stood face to face, secretly watching each other's small movements, grinding their thoughts, and no one knew how to speak.

How can a family rule the world if they don’t want to be reigned? I am a great general, a marquis, a spy leader, a person who stomps his feet and trembles in all directions. I’m afraid of her a little woman? When Yang Ling thought of this, he took a long breath, raised his eyebrows, and said proudly: “Wenxin!”

"Ah?" Gao Wenxin's body trembled, he hurriedly raised his head, then hurriedly lowered his eyes, trembling but unlimitedly looking forward.

Yang Ling waved his hand firmly and said, "Let's go, I'll have breakfast."

Gao Wenxin's pretty face collapsed, and after a while, he said resentfully: "I...I'd better eat in the room. Well...I, I will move back in the afternoon..."

Yang Ling thought for a while and nodded, "Well... it's better to move back first."

Gao Wenxin paled when she heard this, and raised her head suddenly, but she was facing Yang Ling's cunning eyes: "Move back first, can you really get married in the door according to the 'ghost marriage'?"

Yang Ling held her shoulders and said softly: "I survived this disaster. My heart is gone. I cherish my life and people even more. Wen Xin, I just returned to Beijing, and there are always some major things to do in the court. Don't worry. Three days later, I will marry you and let you marry back to your home with dignity."

Gao Wenxin was looking forward to it, but he was just this sentence. He heard Yang Ling say it in person, and Gao Wenxin was happy, and the flowers bloomed in a row. After a while, he was dizzy, and then he spat lowly with a blush on his face and said angrily: "Who......who is anxious?"

Yang Ling smiled with saliva and said, "It's your husband, I'm anxious, okay?"

Gao Wenxin heard that he had already spoken and called himself a husband. She felt extremely sweet in her heart, but she was embarrassed and ashamed. She stretched the corners of her clothes and rolled them hard on her slender fingers, and then pulled them open again. After a while, she raised her head and looked at Yang Ling quickly. She said shyly: "Let's go."

Yang Ling was fascinated by her shy and timid girlish style. After hearing this, she was stunned and said, "What are you doing?"

"When I went to eat, I suddenly felt... a little hungry."

There were quite a lot of people visiting the local people on this day. Four generals from the four foreign armies, Xu Tai, Liu Hui, He Santan, Feng Luo, Peng Jizu, Lian Delu and others came to visit together.

These people are rough military generals with straightforward temperament. When they saw Yang Ling, Peng Jizu and Lian Delu hugged Yang Ling and cried loudly, their voices were shocking. They heard inside and outside the Yang Mansion crying loudly.

Fortunately, they came to cry two days ago, and the Yang family had already seen their crying skills. The maids and maids ignored them and were calm and calm. Before these people had left the door, Wu Jie led his confidants from the inner factory to visit them again. The backbone of these people was back, which was really unspeakable. The heads of the staff, thousands of households, and hundreds of households sat in the living room of the front yard and talked and laughed, and the laughter was heard straight out of the door.

In the afternoon, Dai Yi, Miao Kui, Zhang Yong and others came one after another. These days, they listened to Yang Ling's words and pretended to be deaf and dumb in front of Liu Jin. They obeyed and saved enough energy to wait for the leader of their own sect to return to Beijing and compete with Liu Jin. The news of Yang Ling's death spread. Although they were not the one who was saddest, they were the most nervous and disappointed.

Now that he saw Yang Ling, the three of them seemed to complain, constantly telling Liu Jin's cowardice these days. When he talked about his anger, he couldn't help but curse, which made the men patrolling around the Yang Mansion feel strange. Why did the Yang Mansion cry and laugh and open his mouth to curse today?

But what’s strange is that no one visited the officials in the court for a whole day, which is a bit unusual. Even if it is not convenient for others to come to the door publicly, Jiao Fang clearly has the Yang School branded on her body. There is no reason to have any scruples. Yang Ling immediately sent someone to Beijing to find out the news, and the message sent back was: The court meeting has not yet dispersed!

Yang Ling was shocked when he heard this. What big thing happened in the court? Emperor Zhengde never held Wu Dynasty. Don’t talk about morning court now. Wu Dynasty time has passed long ago. What happened that civil and military officials have been in the palace for a whole day?

At this time, the court meeting was still in a passionate debate. The civil and military officials only drank a bowl of porridge at noon. The rice in the palace was not so easy to eat. Most of the time the emperor rewarded him was just a face, thirty taels of silver and two pieces of silk, and the gift was light and heavy, and what was necessary was that meaning. I heard that the emperor wanted to give him food, of course, it would not be affordable to you for seven plates and eight bowls.

However, all officials were still quarreling. Early in the morning, Zhengde came to court happily, and the Hanlin Academy and the Censorate issued a letter asking for the revocation of the additional title and reward for Yang Ling. Many experienced and polite officials felt that Yang Ling was young, even if he had made great contributions, the hereditary marquis was enough to praise his great contributions, so he immediately stood up to support him. Liu Jin's sect had already received his instructions and immediately went out to oppose it. Zhengde also felt that what he said was the water he had poured out, and there was no reason to take it back. Besides, Yang Ling's contributions were enough to be called the title of Duke in his heart.

Liu Jin's party was so enthusiastic about Yang Ling, which immediately aroused the alert of the three great scholars. After thinking for a moment, he guessed that this was a flawless plan, and he promoted Yang Ling's land rights openly and secretly reduced and stripped Yang Ling's land. Now this is the only one in the court who can compete with Liu Jin. No matter what the purpose is, they now need Yang Ling to be in power to prevent Liu Jin from becoming the dominant family. So the three of them immediately left work, and agreed to cancel the additional title of Yang Ling and remove the Duke's title.

However, at this time, Liu Jin controlled the Ministry of Personnel, and held the power of promotion and demotion of all officials. There were many officials who were drifting with the flow of troubled waters. The main force of the Censorate was also in his hands. This was the mouthpiece. They cited extensively and seized the emperor's golden words. The imperial edict had no reason to be taken back and opposed it.

Their power actually occupied an absolute majority in the court. In addition, Emperor Zhengde also felt that it was unreasonable to strip the Yangling Duke from the reward of the reason. The three great scholars and the Qingliu School who had already realized were unable to tell the emperor that it was powerful and it was difficult to withstand the chief judge's attack under the black whistle.

They can't say to the emperor directly: Your most trusted right-hand man has been fighting openly and secretly for a long time. Liu Jin is a big villain. He wants to seize Yang Ling's power and dominate the court. Fortunately, the three great scholars all opposed it, so he barely resisted the flattery of Liu Jin's party to the emperor and Yang Ling.

The debate continued until the afternoon without any result. Zhengde was so happy that he came to court happily that he had long been exhausted by these ministers, so he announced that the court would be dispersed and discuss it tomorrow.

When the court meeting ended, the three great scholars gathered together and discussed a few simple words, and then entrusted Jiao Fang, who was closest to Yang Ling, to quickly explain his pros and cons, so that he would go to court immediately tomorrow morning and voluntarily resign from all the additional positions.

Yang Ling didn't know what happened in the mansion. Before the Golden Palace had dispersed, no one could find out the specific news. He was restless and finally called someone to take out his horse. Just as he was about to go to the city to inquire about the news, Jiao Fang's official sedan arrived in a hurry.

After hearing Jiao Fang's words, Yang Ling realized that such a big disturbance in the capital today was for the sake of his own Duke Wei. Yang Ling was not very interested in becoming a king and danghou. If he had not wanted to make a career in this era and use his own efforts to avoid many tragedies in the future, he would not have been willing to take office even in this authoritative factory man, so he just smiled faintly and agreed to the Duke who voluntarily resigned.

Jiao Fang finally breathed a sigh of relief. If Yang Ling took the initiative to resign, the emperor would be able to agree. The young emperor was young and could not see through the tricks and deceits in the officialdom. The people from Liu Jin's sect only mentioned that Yang Ling should be granted the title of merit, and did not mention his current position and power at all. As long as Yang Ling entered the throne and officially decided on Duke Wei, he would not be afraid that he would not hand over these things.

Jiao Fang and Yang Ling discussed the secret of Hinata West Mountain in the study room, and then said goodbye and left, preparing to summon Yangling's sect to jointly promote the morning morning to help Yang Ling resign the Duke of Wei who was tied up.

After saying goodbye to Jiao Fang, Yang Ling returned to the study to think about the whole thing carefully. Liu Jin did this a rare step. In front of the emperor and the people of the world, he created a set of selflessness and intimate illusion with Yang Ling, winning the emperor's favor, and at the same time forced himself to hand over the power in his hands step by step. With Liu Jin's current power, as long as he handed over the power, how could he not fall into his hands?

If Liu Jin is not able to kill him, it is just that the emperor's will that he should not be easily withdrawn. Yang Ling's contribution is enough to be a Duke, and he is sure that he will not be able to directly point out to the emperor that they are trying to withdraw his power. He wants to make himself suffer a loss.

However, it would be fine if this conspiracy is not understood. Since it is called a conspiracy, it is impossible to point out. Once someone understands your intention, it will be difficult to achieve the desired effect. The old ministers in the court have been in the officialdom for their whole lives, so how could a few inexperienced eunuchs in the harem be able to deal with it? Since this scheme has been discovered, as long as he has given a high-sounding reason and resolutely resigned, what other tricks can he do?

Liu Jin is powerful, and his ability to understand the emperor's thoughts. His close relationship with the emperor is not his trick in the officialdom. Otherwise, with his power and connections, he would not have irreconcilable interests with the conservatives as if he had carried out various reforms. His power development is not just the current situation? But his subordinates, Zhang Cai, Zhang Wenmian and others are not vegetarians. They must have expected that I would definitely resign. What other killer moves can they have?

A smile appeared on Yang Ling's lips: There is a big conspirator beside me, but unfortunately, she is not here. Otherwise, she would probably be able to grasp the conspiracy that Liu Jin and others wanted to use, so I could hold the enemy's plane first, so now I have to take one step at a time. Anyway, this battle will not be completed in one go. I was thinking about depriving Liu Jin's power, and Liu Jin also thought about depriving me of power. This is a long time.

At this time, Yang Ling saw that the sunlight gradually faded and was about to call someone to come to the palm light. Yuner ran in with a wet little hand, holding a pair of scissors in his hand, and said to Yang Ling: "Master, the senior manager asked me to inform the master. Someone came to visit the house in front of him, saying that his surname was Yang's name Shen, would the master see him?"

"Yang Shen? Meet! Meet! After asking him to arrive... No, I'll pick him up in person." Yang Ling was overjoyed and hurriedly stood up and walked out. He walked to the door and glanced at Yun'er, and suddenly asked, "Are you washing clothes?"

"Yes, lord."

"Hmm? Then what are you doing with a pair of scissors?"
To be continued...
