Chapter 53 Jinyi Admiral
"Damn it! Hahahaha, Mr. Yang, you lost again." Liu Jin smiled and looked very proud. There was nothing wrong with him. Liu Jin often asked Yang Ling to play chess and spend time in his car. His chess skills were not very good, but when he found that Yang Ling's chess skills were worse than him, he actually became a chess fan, and he enjoyed ravaging Yang Ling every day.
Yang Ling snorted and said, "This game doesn't count. I'll take your time and take a step back. Otherwise, I'll only be my opponent in one shot. No matter what, I'm not going to be able to do it, but I'll start over."
Liu Jin hurriedly blocked his hand and smiled proudly: "God, be kind, please be kind, Mr. Yang, haha, today I won three games in four games." This future power traitor was no different from ordinary people when he had not yet made a fortune. He became proud and shook his head. Yang Ling had been with him for a long time, and his original fear was gone. The two of them were as old friends.
Liu Jin said as he opened the curtains and looked out, and said happily: "I'm here, I'm about to enter the city." Yang Ling also looked out the window after hearing this. Seeing the dusk, the tall and solemn city gate in front of him was already in front of him.
Yang Ling lifted the curtain and walked out, stood in the car to watch, sixteen imperial guards opened the road, and the city guards did not dare to stop him. The convoy drove into the city in a big manner, and Liu Jin also walked out and stood beside him, put his hands in his sleeves and said with a smile: "Grandpa Yang, this is our Ming Dynasty capital, what do you think?"
Yang Ling looked at the city of Beijing at this time. Although the entire city was standing tall and the pedestrians were full of people, except for some restaurants far away and near, as well as the residences of the ministers and generals in the distance, all the houses were almost no more than two meters high. Looking at it, the magnificent building in the afterglow of sunlight in the distance was naturally the imperial city.
Liu Jin asked, "Good Lord Yang, should you find an inn first? It's too late today, and tomorrow it will be three o'clock in the Yin hour. Our family will be outside the Meridian Gate to see you."
Before Yang Ling could answer, he quietly touched Liu Biao in front of him and said loudly: "Young Master, Old Master Yang has arrived in the capital first and bought a house on Huguosi Street for the young master to live in. Should we go home directly?"
Yang Ling and Liu Jin were both stunned. Liu Jin's face looked a little bad. He originally thought Yang Ling was a poor postmaster, but he had never thought of making any money from him. But looking at this, the Yang family was still a rich man in Jiming. Yang Ling didn't say anything to him, but it was a bit unfair. Those who reported the letter and gave some rewards. Why is it worthless to report the news to the emperor?
Liu Biao said as he took a bag from his shoulder and put it on the car. When the bag hit the car, it sounded "bang" and it seemed that the things inside were really not light. Liu Biao smiled and said, "Eunuch Liu, this is a little local product that the old man told you to bring to you when he came out. Take it back and taste it fresh. It's a small gift in the countryside, it really doesn't respect it."
Seeing the heavy burden, Liu Jin was probably at least 200 taels of silver, and he was filled with joy and turned to Yang Ling and smiled: "Your Majesty Yang is so polite. You don't have anything in the palace, but it's rare to see just the local products in the countryside. Haha, it's rare that you have thought about it."
Yang Ling knew that it must be the preparations made by the Jinyiwei, so he hurriedly smiled and said, "Eunuch Liu likes anything, just like it."
Liu Jin smiled and said, "If you like it, we like to eat some local specialties. Since Mr. Yang already has a place to go, our family will go back to Da Nei to commit suicide. Tomorrow morning, our family will welcome Mr. Yang outside the Meridian Gate."
At that moment, Liu Jin was commanding the convoy to return to the Imperial City. Yangling's two carriages turned to Huguosi Street. Yangling returned to his carriage. The young lady heard a vague sound, hugged his arm happily, and said, "Mr., do we have a house in the capital?"
Along the way, the little girl also had some thoughts, thinking that her husband is now a fifth-rank official of the Jinyiwei and a attendant of the prince, and that she could not exceed the rules in her words and deeds, which made her husband look embarrassed. She heard that the ladies and ladies of wealthy families were sitting quietly in the car when they went out, so when she entered Beijing, she kept sitting in the car, and even dared not lift the curtain of the sedan chair. Now that the car was walking on the bustling street, she didn't know what Beijing was like.
Yang Ling gently kissed her cherry lips and said, "Well, it must be the arrangement of the Jinyiwei." Then he attached himself to the young lady's ear and said, "I just entered the city today. Our family is not open. My husband will accompany you to go shopping in the evening."
After hearing this, Young Mother was happy and nodded repeatedly, "Yeah, Young Mother hasn't seen the appearance of Beijing yet. She really wants to see her. If she didn't have her husband to accompany her, Young Mother wouldn't dare to go out."
Yang Ling smiled and said, "Young mom is not even afraid of Tartars, why are you afraid of walking around the streets of the capital?"
The young lady said innocently: "My husband, if you don't take me out, the woman can't go shopping and visit her casually. She'll make people laugh."
Yang Ling said, "You, our family doesn't have those rules. If you like to go out, go for a walk, go shopping, shops." Yang Ling said, looking at the young lady's pretty appearance, thinking in her heart: "If this is modern, the little girl will wear a T-shirt, jeans, and tie her hair into a ponytail. She will definitely be a refreshing and beautiful little girl. Let's watch a movie with her, have a coffee, and then be wisely with the profiteer. Hehe, but if it was put at that time, I would not have the blessing to have her.
When the young lady saw him staring at her with a bright look, her face turned redder. She shyly lowered her head and said softly: "Mr., we live in Huguo Temple Street. I don't know if there are any monks in Huguo Temple." She blushed for a moment and could no longer take it.
Yang Ling was excited and his body suddenly became hot. The night before leaving, Yang Ling was slandering and soft and begging, which finally made the little girl tremble and learn to blow under the moon shyly. The ecstasy taste was not something that could be told by outsiders.
The journey was exhausted and there were many people around him, so he didn't dare to be intimate with Youniang. Now when she heard her say it, Yang Ling suddenly felt itchy, "When the jade was broken, the man was distorted by love. He was not ashamed as the man turned around and hugged him." Youniang was a real little girl. When she was so flirting with her, she didn't know how charming she should be.
Yang Ling smiled evilly and said, "Yes, let's go find a great monk to consecrate tonight, and then let you see the little monk who has seen me well."
The young lady said anxiously: "Young master, that's not possible. We must meet the big monk. How many years have the little monk practiced? Young lady dare not joke about her husband's life."
Yang Ling raised his lips and said with a strange expression: "Do you have to meet the great monk? But my husband, this little monk, has not been consecrated and blessed by my dear wife, and has been tempered for thousands of times, how can he become a great monk?"
Although Young Mother was innocent, she was not stupid. She could not help but blink her eyes and looked at him with some confusion. Yang Ling smiled and hugged You Niang, whispered a few words in her ear. Young Mother let out a light cry, and couldn't help but beat her husband twice with anger and shame, bit her lips and blushed, and said angrily: "Young Mother wants to see the emperor tomorrow, and you need a good rest. You Niang won't see any monk tonight."
Yang Ling smiled and said, "How is that happening? Let me see if there is a temple outside. I must let my wife open the door to welcome guests tonight and welcome my little monk into the door."
When Han Youniang heard her husband say something shameless, her body became soft and she panted beside him and did not dare to respond. Yang Ling lifted the curtain of the sedan chair and looked out, she saw pedestrians coming and going out, with shops standing on the street. It seemed that the street was quite prosperous.
Han Youniang also looked out curiously, and saw Liu Biao and Yang Yiqing walking beside the car. A man stood at the far corner of the street. Liu Biao quickly made a few gestures to him. The man nodded, his left hand was hanging beside him, and he quickly returned a few gestures, then turned around and left.
The two of them were quick and natural. If Han Youniang hadn’t been sharp-eyed and meticulous, she wouldn’t have noticed it. Han Youniang turned around curiously and said, “My husband”. At this time, Yang Yiqing shouted outside: “You’re home, please get off the bus.”
After this interruption, Han Youniang swallowed the words again. Yang Ling lifted the curtain of the sedan chair and saw a courtyard in front of him. There were two rows of dragon claw locust trees planted in front of him. The small courtyard was open, and the inside was clean and it seemed that it had just been renovated.
Han Youniang also jumped out of the car and looked at her new home happily. In addition to a well in the patio, there was a flower bed in the middle, with a wing room on the left and right, and in front of them were three green tiled houses. It seemed that the original home was also a wealthy small family, and I wonder how the Jinyiwei took it down.
Liu Biao and Yang Yiqing moved all their luggage into the room. Although they had just bought the yard, they had all the living utensils, saving them a lot of time to buy. Seeing that it was still early, Han Youniang began to start the housewife's rights and set up her new home. She was so busy that she threw the matter of going to the street to have dinner and meeting a monk in the temple.
Yang Yiqing looked mysteriously and said, "Sir, Lord Zhang, the admiral commander, heard that he has entered Beijing and wants to meet you. Should we go now?"
"Ah!" Yang Ling stood up suddenly. The Supreme Head of the Jinyiwei wanted to receive him. How could he dare to be negligent? He hurriedly spoke to Youniang and immediately went to the street with Liu Biao and Yang Yiqing.
Yang Ling had heard from Liu Yiqing and others that the Jinyiwei Commander's Office was not located in Beijing, but in Tianjin. However, the Beizhen Fushi Department, the most important department of the Jinyiwei, was located in the capital. Therefore, the Jinyiwei Admiral and Commander's Office was not in Tianjin. But he worked in Beijing for most of the year.
The Beizhen Fushi is located in the north of Dong'an City, next to the gate of Dongchang. In such a large Beijing city, except for the imperial city, this place is the quietest. Once you turn on that street, the street is clean like a dog's chewing bones, and there is not a single figure.
Yang Ling passed by the "Dongjishi Factory" and looked inside curiously. He didn't know if the movies, the stalls, and the factories and the governors were as skilled as they did in the movie. Unfortunately, the sun was approaching, and no one saw anything except the two movies standing guard in front of the door. Further ahead was the Beizhen Fushiya Office, which was no different from the ordinary government office. There were two big stone lions standing at the door, and the Jinyiwei guards with swords stood guard.
Under the guidance of Liu and Yang, Yang, he entered the hall. On the white screen wall of the hall, there was a tiger going down the mountain. The tiger was lifelike, with its teeth and claws spreading, and was about to pounce down. The hall was quiet and elegant. Liu Biao and Yang Yiqing did not dare to go in when they arrived at the door. Naturally, another officer of the Jinyi Guard invited him in. Yang Ling stood in the hall, looking at the tiger with his hands behind his back. A man behind him laughed: "Yang Tongzhi has arrived? Unfortunately, the Funeral Envoy took someone to Jinling, and the officials of the Jinyi Qianqiu Yu Yong are here to welcome Lord Yang."
Yang Ling turned around quickly and said repeatedly, "I dare not, sir." He opened his eyes and couldn't help but be stunned. The man in front of him was indeed wearing a flying fish suit of a Jinyiwei, and an embroidered spring sword under his ribs. He looked at the clothes of a thousand households.
However, this man had blond hair and blue eyes, a high nose bridge, and surprisingly white skin. He was actually a European. When the Qianhu named Yu Yong saw Yang Ling, he smiled and said in a Beijing accent: "The lower-ranking official Yu Yong, the lord will arrive in the capital. Another day, the lower-ranking official will hold a banquet to invite the lord. Haha, I will be the same as the lord in the future. I hope the lord will support you more. By the way, the lord has been waiting for you for a long time. Please follow the lord and see the lord first."
Yang Ling bowed, and as the foreign Jinyiwei walked around the hall, there were rooms on both sides of the corridor. Yu Yong led Yang Ling to a door, opened the door and said with a smile: "Sir, please come in."
Yang Ling nodded and thanked him. He stepped into the door. He saw a huge candle hanging on all four walls, illuminating the room. A middle-aged man in plain clothes and Confucian clothes sat behind the desk with a smile. When he saw him come in, he had just put down a book in his hand.
Yang Ling knew that this person must be Zhang Xiu, the highest leader of the Jinyiwei, so he hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down on one knee and saluted, "Secretary Yang Ling, please see the Admiral."
Zhang Xiu squinted his eyes and looked at him, and smiled with satisfaction, "Okay, it's true that he is young and promising. Yang Tongzhi sits there, don't be polite." Yang Ling also secretly looked at Lord Zhang. This adult was about fifty years old, with a kind and gentle expression. He could not tell from his appearance that he had the power in his control of life and death.
Yu Yong bowed at the door and said, "Sir, Lord Yang, the lower official will leave first." He said, and smiled at Yang Ling kindly and closed the door gently.
Seeing that he looked strange, Zhang Xiu laughed and said, "Yu Yong is a descendant of the Seme people. It is said that his hometown is in the Rhine River. It turns out that he was a local noble. During the expedition of the Yuan Dynasty, tens of thousands of blond and blue-eyed slaves were captured, including his ancestors. There are more than a thousand families like him who live in the capital."
Yang Ling was relieved. Zhang Xiu seemed quite satisfied with Yang Ling and smiled and said, "Yang Tongzhi is a talented person and has outstanding knowledge. After entering Baixiyuan, he will definitely be highly valued. Very good, very good!"
Yang Ling said in surprise: "Baixiyuan? Sir, what is this?"
Zhang Xiu was suffocated and laughed in silence, "Haha, it's my official's tongue. Cough cough, the current crown prince is young, and he likes some novel things. This is the East Palace, haha, the princes and ministers in the court often call the East Palace Baixiyuan, and I am also just talking about it for a while."
Yang Ling sweated and said modestly: "Your Majesty is too good. The lower-ranking official is just a scholar. He is already frightened to be able to attend the imperial examination for the prince. How dare you have any extravagant hope?"
Zhang Xiu smiled and said, "Heroes are not afraid of low births. Besides, do you know that the current crown prince's tutors and lecturers are all from the Grand Secretary and bachelor's background, but the crown prince has never had a single attendant. Now the crown prince likes you. You must call you to Beijing, and the East Palace loves you very much. Your Majesty loves you very much. That is why your Majesty loves you very much. When you meet Jin tomorrow, your Majesty will give you the same Jinshi as you, and you will not call yourself a scholar again in the future."
Yang Ling said juicyly: "Sir, the lower official is ignorant. I still don't know that the lower official is a small chicken-crowing official. Why can Datianting go to Beijing to attend the imperial examination?"
Zhang Xiu laughed and slapped the table happily and said, "Shangdatian Ting? Not just Shangdatian Ting? Although you are remote, do you know that the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Works, the Three Laws Office, the Inner Government Office, the Supervision Office, and the Governor's Office of the Five Army are fighting in circles. Half of the officials in Beijing have been surrounded by you, Yang Tongzhi?"
Yang Ling was shocked when she heard this and said in a lost voice: "What?!"
