Chapter 69 Fighting with Wisdom

Seeing that there were endless people patrolling the streets downstairs, Qian Ning turned his eyes and said to his subordinate Jinyiwei official school: "Everyone goes downstairs, watch the door, and don't let anyone come up to harass him." As soon as his subordinates left the private room, Qian Ning immediately fell to the ground and said respectfully: "My minister Qian Ning meets His Royal Highness!"

Zhu Houzhao exclaimed and looked up at Yang Ling. Yang Ling shook his head slightly. Seeing this, Qian Ning said respectfully: "I used to be the commander of the guards in the palace. I was fortunate to see His Highness the Crown Prince. His Highness went on a private visit today. I didn't dare to point out his identity as His Highness, but now I am arrested all over the city and the capital is in a great search. I only have the identity of Lai Jinyiwei and personally escorted His Highness back to the palace. Therefore, I admit it with my own apology. Please forgive me for your crime."

Zhu Houzhao suddenly realized after hearing this. He laughed and said, "Get up, there are no bad rules. I didn't expect to beat a scoundrel and lead to the scoundrels all over the city. You guy is so cunning. If not, you still have to pretend not to know me, right?"

Yang Ling also sighed at this time, looking downstairs sadly, knowing that he would not want to go to the Ministry of War to retrieve the Zheng He chart today. Liu Jin whispered in his ear: "Don't worry, the chart Yang Shizuo, if you have been in the Ministry of War for so many years, it would be too late to lose it. If it was not lost, it would be bad at this moment. I will find another opportunity to get it."

Yang Ling looked at him in surprise. Liu Jin smiled and said, "That chart is a treasure left by Eunuch Zheng who spent his hard work. This great glory and the things that have been praised by the nations are the contributions made by our men in the palace. We can't bear to destroy it?"

Yang Ling was very surprised and looked at the comforting smile of the eunuch, his eyes couldn't help but get wet.

Qian Ning brought more than a dozen Jinyiwei to "escort" them. The various ghosts he met along the way naturally did not dare to interrogate them. Zhu Houzhao successfully returned to the East Palace from the back gate of the Forbidden City.

As soon as he returned to Chunfang to make a decision, he slapped the table heavily and said to Yang Ling: "This matter is a mess today, but I promised the girl that she would be sure to make a mistake. I said that I would return the documents I bought for her within three days. How do you find out how to get the documents back?"

Yang Ling frowned. He said a few casually to deceive Zhu Houzhao. Now it seems that Yan Kuan is a man from Shouning Houhou. Zhang Heling can even take over the construction of the city in Badaling. The relationship between the two is extraordinary, and they are just an official and businessman.

I am afraid that I can't afford to buy money that will make him tempted, and the prince will definitely not do anything that will swallow his anger. As for oppression with his official power, he will be favored by the main palace now. Look at the grand style of the capital today. Is this uncle easy to mess with? Unless Emperor Hongzhi comes forward personally, who can suppress him?

Yang Ling frowned and thought for a while, but couldn't think of any idea. He looked up at the eight genius prank experts who were said to have ideas to harm people in their dreams. He saw Ba pairs of eyes also staring at him. Yang Ling smiled bitterly and had to think about it: "Then Yan Kuan is just a servant, and it's not enough to worry about it. But if Shouning Hou was the main move for him, he would have to give in first."

Zhu Houzhao said: "Don't worry, although Zhang Heling is the national uncle, his arrogance is really arrogant. It would be better if he could defeat his majesty. If you have any ideas, just say it."

Yang Ling pondered and said, "If you want the Marquis of Shouning to restrain you, then you will only be the current Majesty. But if you want Your Majesty to punish him, you must have evidence that will make Your Majesty angry."

Gu Dayong interrupted after hearing this, "This is easy. Just look at him for occupying the civil base and expanding the streets, privately-educated projects are enough to apply for him. Moreover, Shouning Hou may not only be the only one!"

Liu Jin frowned and said, "With evidence, there must be a capable person to present it to Your Majesty. If we come forward, Your Majesty will definitely be suspicious. This is the matter."

Zhu Houzhao said impatiently: "Why is this troublesome! It really doesn't work. Taking advantage of the Beijing Examination these few days, the Grand Tutors don't often come to see me. I took the time to go out of the palace and go directly to find my uncle. I don't believe that he dares to offend me for a servant."

When Yang Ling heard the word "Tribute", his eyes lit up. He hurriedly asked, "Your Highness, aren't the Grand Secretary needed to teach you these days?"

Zhu Houzhao looked at Gu Dayong, and Gu Dayong said: "From tomorrow, the three Grand Secretary will take turns to take the exam room on a daily basis, and the other two will handle government affairs in the palace. Therefore, the original three Grand Secretary will take turns to take classes every day, but now it will be changed to one Grand Secretary will take classes every day, and the time will be reduced to one hour."

Yang Ling slapped his thigh and said, "Okay, I have a solution. Which Grand Secretary will be on duty tomorrow?" Gu Dayong was indeed a security guard. The course schedule arranged by the Prince of Zhan Shi's mansion and the teaching teacher were memorizing it thoroughly. He said without hesitation: "Tomorrow he should be taught by Grand Secretary Li Dongyang and Li."

Yang Ling smiled and whispered to Zhu Houzhao's ear. Zhu Houzhao heard it and said half-believingly, "Is this method really effective?"

Yang Ling smiled and said, "This plan is clever, and the Marquis of Shouning can only lose his army and protect his commander. By then, first, your highness does not have to betray others. Second, Yan Kuan is rude to the prince, so he can't turn over from now on. Third, he can also win the praise of several Grand Tutors for your Highness."

"Oh?" Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but feel excited and said, "When it's too early, then you can do it quickly. Be sure to prepare it for me before Grand Tutor Li arrives tomorrow."

"Yes, I obey the order!" Yang Ling smiled and bowed, nodded to Bahu, and retreated.

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

In the early morning of the next day, the sun was not rising. A car sedan chair drove to a corner outside the Meridian Gate. Yang Ling, who was waiting by the corner gate, froze on the car. Qian Ning sat in the car and handed a thick bag of oil paper and smiled: "I received the order from Lord Yang yesterday. Qian ordered his subordinates to work hard all night, and finally got something. Fortunately, he did not humiliate his fate. Haha, this is what the adults need. Do you see if it is available?"

Yang Ling said politely, sat side by side with him in the car, opened the oil paper bag and took out a thick stack of paper, lifted the curtain of the sedan chair and looked at it in a hurry for a while, and couldn't help but say: "Brother Qian, I just ask you to collect some collusion between Shouning Hou officials and businessmen, privately teach projects and his encroachment on the interests of the people. If the weight is really not enough, just arrange some minor mistakes to increase the weight. But the material you compiled even has a murder case. If His Majesty really investigates it, wouldn't he raise a stone and shoot himself in the foot?"

Qian Ning smiled and said, "I want to arrange some right and wrong. Unfortunately, I have been busy all night, and there are more than these real cases. But I don't have time to arrange the Marquis Zhang. These case files have evidence, physical evidence, and some are still registered in the yamen. No one dares to deal with them. You can see which ones are available. Don't worry, all these materials are copied by me, not the official documents and letters of our Jinyiwei, and they will not lead the fire to us."

Yang Ling said in surprise: "All these are true?"

Qian Ning nodded and said, "It's all true!" He smiled faintly and said proudly, "No matter who it is, as long as our Jinyiwei wants to do it, there is no secret that can be hidden from us. However, Marquis Shouning has a big tree to enjoy the cool air in the palace, and these things may not be able to hurt him. Lord, don't let yourself get trapped."

Yang Ling nodded and said, "Brother Qian, don't worry, others will charge in this matter. Haha, I have to go into the palace quickly. Brother Qian, I will report this feeling to Your Highness."

Qian Ning's face was filled with joy and quickly bowed, "Why do you have to say that your brothers are so good? There are many court officials at the gate of the Wu Dynasty. I am not inconvenient to show up. I would like to send you my respectful gift to Lord Yang. I wish you a victory in the flag and a success!"

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

"The Master said: The king is a minister, a minister, a father, a son and a son. That is to say, the king must make himself conform to the king's way, the minister must conform to the minister's way, the father must conform to the father's way, and the son must conform to the son's way." Li Dongyang said with pleasure and looked at the prince with relief. Today, the prince was very obedient and sat upright behind the desk, as if he was attentive, which made Li Dongyang feel very comforted.

He smiled and said, "A man's lord rewards what he loves and punishes what he hates; a wise lord does not, rewards must be added to merit, and punishments are more than to sin. Those who are good at doing a country will strengthen their power within and value their power externally. In this way, they will conquer the enemy and attack the country, and no one dares not to listen."

He picked up a cup of tea and moistened his throat. He was about to explain it carefully, but he heard the prince say, "Taifu, the wise ruler must have a clear reward and punishment, but if the guilty one is a close minister of the emperor or even a relative or clan, can he be a friend of the emperor?"

Li Dongyang said seriously: "No, why is the prince who violates the law and the common people? It is because the king is not the head of a family, but the head of a country. If the king is the king, the whole country is the people. How can the difference between far and near? The lord is the lord, the lord is the blessing of the world; the lord is the blessing of the country with wise ministers; the lord is the blessing of the country with wise ministers; if the king is tolerate and favor close ministers to be evil, it is not the blessing of the country."

Yang Ling coughed, Zhu Houzhao took out a paper bag from the desk and sighed: "What the Grand Tutor taught me is that today, Yang Shidu came into the palace and picked up a package outside the palace gate. The things inside were to expose the evidence of the national uncle Zhang Heling's indulgence in his family and to harm his neighbors. One by one, one by one, which was shocking. Alas! After reading it, I originally thought that Zhang Heling was my mother's uncle, but I wanted to suppress this matter. After listening to the Grand Tutor's teachings, I felt deeply guilty. If I hide and refuse to raise it, I would really betray the saint's words."

Li Dongyang heard this and said, "What is the evidence? Can the prince give me a look?"

Zhu Houzhao handed over the paper bag, shook his head and said in shame: "One side is my mother's uncle, and on the other side is the people who are bullied and mourned to the people who have no way to complain. Although I can't bear to know my father and hurt my kindness, I can't bear to turn a blind eye after listening to the lessons of the Grand Tutor."

Li Dongyang hurriedly looked at the stack of crimes against Zhang Heling, the Marquis of Shouning, and only looked at them a few times, and was so angry that he couldn't help himself. He said furiously: "The kings, nobles and nobles are so unscrupulous invading the interests of the people. You don't have to feel guilty. You are doing well. The king is a boat; the common people are water. The heavens are born in the people, not the king; the heavens establish the king, and the people are the people. Your Highness can care about the people, which is a blessing for the country."

He looked at Yang Ling again and said meaningfully: "The behavior of the Hou of Shouning has caused the people to complain and have no way to ask for advice, so someone has done this helpless act. Your Highness, ask Yang Shitu to accompany Your Highness to review his homework first. The old minister wants to leave and verify it first. If the situation is true, the old minister must report to the emperor."

Yang Ling browed when he heard this. Hearing the old man's words, he obviously might not believe the reasons he found on the way to the palace. However, this man was jealous of evil and refused to sit idly by even though he knew he was being used. Since the cases Qian Ning brought were all true, he was not afraid of him checking them.

Li Dongyang said goodbye and left. On this day, Zhu Houzhao was much more well-behaved than before. He just stayed in Chunfang and talked with Yang Ling, and did not dare to play around anymore. Li Dongyang hurried back to Jinshen Hall and immediately ordered a yamen to investigate and report. Many of these cases were registered in the yamen, but they were delayed and shirked their responsibilities and were not allowed to be dealt with. Naturally, it was accurate after investigation. In just over an hour, seven out of ten were verified. Li Dongyang was furious when he heard the outrageous crimes. He immediately picked up his pen and wrote ten thousand words, and then he threw his robe sleeve and went straight to Wuchao.

Zhu Houzhao in the East Palace listened to Yang Ling’s story of the styles of various countries, and was very eye-opening. Just as he was listening with relish, Gu Dayong outside suddenly screamed: “Oh, two princesses, why are you two coming to the East Palace?”

There was only a delicate girl's voice saying, "Where is the prince? Take me to see him quickly."

Gu Dayong said authentically: "Your Highness, the princess is taking a refresher class, please read it."

Another innocent girl said in a voice: "Hmph, are you using some tricks of fighting cocks and dogs to trick the prince brother into playing? Sister, let's go in by yourself."

Zhu Houzhao said "Ah" and said, "Yongfu and Yongchun are here. You go behind the screen to avoid it. There are many stinking rules in the palace, so you can't see them casually."

After hearing this, Yang Ling quickly got up and flashed behind the screen behind the mahogany antique stand. Zhu Houzhao heard it and said, "It's great, please come in."
