Zhang Xiu, the admiral of the Jinyiwei, said with a smile: "The little prince attacked our border. Both the army of Zhuo County and Chi County were captured, but Huailai suffered losses and lost troops all the way, resulting in a death in the battle of a chief officer. The military commander Ye was also trampled to death by the chaos army. The three courts sentenced and convicted General He Shen in accordance with the imperial edict. Unexpectedly, after General He Shen was deported to Beijing, he blamed all the crimes of underestimating the enemy and advancing on the military supervisor Ye and Eunuch Liu.

General He Shen is a general recommended by the Ministry of War. If General He Shen is punished, they will naturally be unable to escape the accusation of unknown people. Therefore, the Ministry of War strives to protect General He Shen, accusing the military supervisor of unknown military affairs and random interference. The imperial envoys from the Inspectorate and the Inner Office inevitably have a sense of hatred against the enemy and attacking each other with the Ministry of War.

The internal yamen was just a group of eunuchs. They had no idea about military affairs, but Eunuch Liu returned to Beijing and brought a letter back." Zhang Xiu said this and smiled at Yang Ling and said, "It was the letter you wrote to General He Shen."

Yang Ling said: "Yes, the lower officials once had some shallow views on General He Gan, but they didn't know how this letter fell into the hands of Eunuch Liu."

Zhang Xiu shook his head and said, "I don't know the inside story. Eunuch Liu is the one who serves the prince. He has a good friend in the palace named Zhang Yong. This father-in-law is quite familiar with some military affairs. When he sees you, he believes as a treasure, and immediately incites the internal lawsuit to impeach the Ministry of War, accusing the soldiers in the army of not having strong combat power and low scouts ability. The Ministry of War is ineffective in commanding troops.

Hehe, but the Ministry of War is responsible for the dispatch of troops and generals. The daily training and command of the Five Army Governor's Office is indeed responsible for the Five Army Governor's Office. In this way, the Five Army Governor's Office, which was originally unrelated to it, was disturbed by the Ministry of War, who was relieved, and the four yamen began to set up circles like a lantern."

Yang Ling said juicyly: "This is a lowly official who really didn't expect that so many conflicts would happen. But the adults just said that the Ministry of Works was also involved. I wonder what this military use has to do with the Ministry of Works?"

Zhang Xiu said: "It is unrelated, it is not related at first, but in your letter, you mentioned the wonderful use of firearms and its important role in future wars. A head of the Ministry of War, named Wang Shouren, agreed with him. He was a nerd and angry at the moment. At this time, he wrote a romance to the emperor, talking about the way of governing the army, and also mentioned that the muskets of this dynasty urgently needed improvement. Chen Zhong also made a very small statement about the number of muskets equipped by the Northern Army. According to my governor's opinion, the content of his report was at the right time, but the time was a bit inappropriate."

After hearing the three words Wang Shouren, Yang Ling felt a little familiar, but he couldn't remember it for a while. However, since he had an impression, he must have seen it when he read the history books. Although he is a small head of the Ministry of War, he is likely to be a great official in the future, so he secretly keeps his heart in his heart.

Zhang Xiu said again: "The Ministry of Works was afraid that these yamen would push them around, but they put the blame for the defeat on them, so he complained to the emperor, "What is the insufficient payment of silver, the low quality of the soldiers, and the difficulty in making muskets." Zhang Xiu touched his chin thoughtfully and said interestingly: "Well, the Ministry of Works' memorial was just handed over to the Da Nei yesterday. The Ministry of Revenue, who is in charge of money and grain, received the news, and he would submit a memorial to defend it."

Yang Ling was ridiculous and said, "How could this happen? The official did not expect that such a storm would cause. If he had known this, it would have been better if he hadn't written that letter."

Zhang Xiu stretched his waist and said lazily: "Have you ever caught crabs? There is a group of crabs in the basket. You don't have to cover the lid. Crabs can't climb out, because as long as one wants to climb up, other crabs will cling to it one after another, and the result is that they pull it down, and in the end none of them can go out. Hehe, it has always been like this in the officialdom, which is not surprising."

"Without your letter, they would have found some reasons to shirk responsibility to each other, but this will help you. Now everyone in the six ministries knows your name. When the prince heard about it, he asked His Majesty for someone to ask for him and asks you to attend the Beijing school, hahaha."

Zhang Xiu smiled and said with a full face: "These officials' circle frames have nothing to do with our Jinyiwei. I specially summoned you today. Do you know the reason?"

Yang Ling said: "Please make clear what you want."

Zhang Xiu pondered: "Our Jinyiwei, the civil and military officials of the criminal investigation, and the scholars and people in the world are independent of the three departments. And the Dongchang is responsible for supervising the hundreds of officials and the Jinyiwei. Whenever there is a major imperial prison in our North Town Fufu Department, the Dongchang will send people to attend the trial. Speaking of which, the power is still above our Jinyiwei."

Yang Ling didn't know what he said about this, and he couldn't help but feel a little confused. Zhang Xiu continued: "However, there are many descendants of the heroes and Xunqing in the Jinyiwei, and many officials in the Dongchang were officers recruited from our Jinyiwei, so the Dongchang and our Jinyiwei can be said to have a close relationship. If we really want to develop our strength, the Jinyiwei may not be afraid of the Dongchang. Fortunately, our factory and the one guard have always been harmonious and have never had any estrangement."

Zhang Xiu glanced at him and said, "Since the end of last year, Your Majesty has gradually felt uncomfortable in the dragon body. Recently, Your Majesty intends to reopen the West Factory, and supervises the East Factory and the Jinyiwei. Currently, people are secretly raising the situation, while the large number of personnel are absorbing their own lines from the army, which has nothing to do with the East Factory and Jinyiwei."

Yang Ling was stunned when he heard what he said. After thinking carefully, he realized that he had no intention of expressing his meaning. The emperor felt that something had happened to his body and had already begun to plan for his successor. Although the East Factory and the Jinyiwei were the most trustworthy organization, they had too much power. Moreover, according to Zhang Xiu's words, although the factory guards had the responsibility of supervision, they were actually the same family. The emperor was worried that the Xichang, which was about to reopen the Xichang and Jinyiwei would not draw soldiers and soldiers from the East Factory and Jinyiwei, which was to check and balance the East Factory and Jinyiwei, so as not to lose the power of the new emperor ascend the throne.

Zhang Xiu said again: "The crown prince is young, and my Jinyiwei is responsible for the safety of the royal family. How can you care about it? But since Your Majesty is in doubt, the Dongchang and Jinyiwei now have to avoid suspicion, so it is difficult to arrange personnel around the prince. Now that you are the attendant of the crown prince, you are the close ministers around the crown prince. You should be able to bear this responsibility. Do you understand what this governor means?"

Yang Ling still doesn't understand his intention. Jinyiwei and the East Factory share weal and woe, and jointly hold power. Now the upcoming Xichang is to supervise the East Factory and Jinyiwei is responsible for their responsibility, so they are naturally worried that the power will fall.

There is only a group of eunuchs around the prince now. Although they are also targets that they can win over, the eunuchs in Dongchang today are certainly unwilling to support a group of their own kind to usurp their power in the future. Yang Ling has no foundation in the court. Even if he supports such a person, he will be able to achieve success and cannot do without the two big trees of Dongchang and Jinyiwei, so he is naturally the most suitable candidate.

When Yang Ling thought of this, he couldn't help but feel uncomfortable. For a person who was determined to climb up, such an opportunity and such a backer were naturally rare in a century. However, in this way, his little servant will inevitably become a thorn in the eyes of others and a thorn in the flesh. How easy is it to live for two years in peace?

Yang Ling thought about it and couldn't help but panic: "I thank the adults for their love, but I'm just a low-ranking official... I'm young, I'm afraid I'll be entrusted by the adults."

Zhang Xiu looked at him with a steady look for a while, and Yang Ling's heart was filled with chills. Zhang Xiu smiled and said lightly: "The biggest thing in this world is the emperor. As long as you are by the emperor, nothing is impossible."

He smiled slightly and said, "When it comes to Xichang, I remember something. In the third year of Chenghua, the Southern Barbarians caused chaos. Li Jin, the Minister of Xiangcheng, and Cheng Xin, the Minister of Shangcheng, supervised the army to recruit soldiers. After quelling the rebellion, they captured all men and women. They brought a group of slaves back to the capital and gave them to Wanghou. Among these slaves, a man named Wang, and a girl named Ji was sent to Da Nei. The man was eunuched as an eunuch, and the girl was used as a palace maid."

He said this and smiled, lowered his eyes and looked at Yang Ling and said, "Do you know what happened to these two people later?"

Without waiting for Yang Ling to answer, Zhang Xiu said to himself: "Ten years later, the imperial court initially established the West Factory. The West Factory was in power for the time being, and was superior to the East Factory and Jinyiwei. The West Factory was the man named Wang and his name was Zhi. He was the eunuch who was captured into the palace ten years ago."

Yang Ling had heard of Wang Zhi's name. He couldn't help but exclaim when he heard this. Zhang Xiu said again: "The girl named Ji was first a palace maid, then a female official, then a concubine, and then a concubine Shu, and later a queen, and was the biological mother of long live now." He stroked his palm and sighed: "It's a strange thing. Imagine that the prisoners who came from Dateng Gorge were killed by soldiers on the way to escort, which was nothing. Who would have thought that two of them would have evolved into the later thrilling story?"

He smiled and said, "You are a scholar. Those civil servants regard you as their own. The internal lawsuit, the inspector, and the Ministry of War have a good impression of you. There are Jinyiwei behind you. The East Factory is convenient for you. There are countless opportunities. As long as you can be appreciated by the prince, then when the prince is in the 95th day of the day, it will be the time when you are famous in the court and the country! Yang Tongzhi, will you still underestimate yourself?"

Yang Ling looked at Zhang Xiu's "familiar" smiling face, and in a trance, she seemed to see the platoon leader Yang wave his hand forward and shouted loudly: "Amir, rush!"

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

"Amir" rushed, not towards a bright future, but towards his woman.

As soon as he left the Jinyiweibei Town Fushi Office, he saw the lights on everywhere. Yang Ling remembered that his young lady was still waiting for him at home, and he felt like he was returning home. He was like an arrow. "*, when he encountered the wind and clouds, he turned into a dragon", and he was immediately thrown away from the clouds. Two years, what a precious time, it's better to spend more time with his delicate little lady.

There are two large temple fairs in the capital, called Dongmiaoxi Temple. Dongmiao is Longfu Temple located near Sipailou, Dashi Street, and the temple market opens on the 9th and 10th of each month. The West Temple is Dalongshan Huguo Temple on Huguo Temple Street, which opens on the 7th and 8th of each month.

Today is not the temple fair, but these two streets have long formed a fixed commercial area, with tea shops, wine shops and shops standing side by side, which is very lively. Yang Ling and Youniang had a warm dinner in a restaurant and headed straight to Huguo Temple.

Of course he would not bring two light bulbs with him. As a result, after having a meal in the alley, they turned around after coming out, so they asked pedestrians for directions. When pedestrians on the road heard that the young couple went to Huguo Temple to eat incense, they all looked surprised, but they still showed them the way.

It turns out that this famous temple with a vast area of ​​ten halls has now been changed into a Lama Temple. People in the capital have always had the idea of ​​respecting ghosts and gods to stay away from the strange-shaped Bodhisattvas worshipped by the Lamas, and they dare not understand the rituals of the lamas. Only when they are attending temple fairs, tourists like to go to the temple to see something strange. Usually, few people come, so the incense in this temple is rare, which is completely different from the situation where the incense is soaring in other temples.

However, the Han people are not as harsh as Westerners. If you believe in you and I believe in me, you will never be able to get along with me just because you believe in Yuanshi Tianzun, and I believe in Tathagata Buddha, or you may not allow children to intermarry. Therefore, although the pedestrians find it a bit strange that this young couple is going to the Lama Temple, no one is too embarrassed for them.

Over the years, many lama monks from Qing, Kang, Zang, and even from outside the desert have met with the Ming Dynasty. Because their area is a combination of politics and religion, the court of these lamas is like the Jin view of local officials and is highly valued by the court. Therefore, the emperor gave them several temples, allowing monks who were willing to stay in the Central Plains to live in it, and Huguo Temple is one of them.

Although the incense here is not very popular, fortunately it is supported by the court and provided the needs on time, so the lives of these lamas are not hard.

When Yangling entered the gate of Huguo Temple, he saw that the temple was brightly lit. Although there were some tourists, most of them looked like elderly people who were tired of walking and ran in to rest. They sat in the corridor and chatted. The gate of the Vajra Hall opposite the door was open, but no one was in and out.

Yang Ling turned his head and saw Han Youniang following behind more than three feet away. He felt a little funny in his heart and couldn't help but tease, "Madam, why are you doing so far from the street together? My husband kept looking back at you, and his neck was almost twisted."

Han Youniang hugged her shyly and whispered: "Honey, whisper, I'm a joke. I'm a woman and can't walk side by side with you."

Yang Ling laughed and said, "Okay, then you can follow me behind me. The Buddha said: Only when you look back in your previous life can you pass by me in this life. From now on, you will follow your husband every day. If your husband has nothing to do, you will look back at you. You will have a look at you five thousand times and fifty thousand times, and strive to be a husband and wife in the next life."

The young lady smiled and gave him a blank look. Before she could answer, she suddenly said in an ugly voice: "This statement is interesting. I have only heard of a hundred years of cultivation, a thousand years of cultivation, and a thousand years of cultivation."

Yang Ling turned his head and saw a young scholar with a face like powder, holding a small golden fan, looking at him with a smile. The little scholar was taller than the young lady, with a bright eyebrows and eyes wide open, wearing a Taoist robe (a kind of robe in the Ming Dynasty), with a brocade belt on his waist, a unified hat on his head, and a crystal on the top of the hat, dressed handsomely and handsomely.

The young scholar opened his mouth, and the ugly duckling voice that was in the voice change period cried out again: "I just don't know which scripture the 500-time look back of this brother's body is the allusion in the scriptures? The Sutra of the Three Refuges and Five Precepts, the Sutra of the Merits of Amitabha Buddha's Sound King Dharani? Or the Sutra of the Forty-two Chapters?"
