Chapter 148 with the name of villain
Tianjin wharf, distant has been possible to see the yellow and black emperor dragon flag.
Northern in November, already very cold. Today is the cloudy day, the overcast sky, the wind flap flap makes noise the flag streamer volume. Looks at that Yang Word flag, Zhang Xiu the corners of the mouth is showing a bitter and astringent happy expression.
This person has propped up from one, thinks that can in front of Xindi, establishes relations for the brocade uniformed guard and Dongchang, his government operated transport unexpectedly is the extraordinary smoothness, the short date and time has changed from guest to host, threatened from already the rights, from has been able the dependency under Dongchang, but from has been able to act servilely to the former days subordinate?
He looked to about, anchors two wars in wharf, under the thick canvas is covering up four artilleries, that prepares Yangling, once escapes to mass-criticize the place ship. After pile wall, is ambushing 40 crossbowmen, ten hot cannoniers, so long as Yangling makes an appearance, immediately concentrated fire, appointed he big skill, gave up any idea of that maintained a livelihood. As for 2000 brocade uniformed guards of ambush outside harbor elite, is the preparation in the name of rebelling eradicates 200 bodyguards in Yangling.
Remaining, was the matters of royal government these officials. His conceivable leaving, from more than 200 could not see when the primary form the fester corpse feeds in Capital goes, the person who these officials can for Yangling this been hard to explain places many strip deserves death charges.
Opens the embroidery deeply to aspirate, genuinely, he loathes to these civil officials, this impression is each other the different formations of standpoint and benefit, will not have a new look because of each other cooperation.
The ship approach shored, opened the embroidery to smile lightly, crosses the hands behind the back the footboard that looked is putting down slowly, the person of bringing death comes finally.
He is the senior boss in Yangling, now does not belong, does not lower compared with him from the status, Yang Ling sees him to greet. Welcomed to disembark surely on own initiative, so long as he stepped the land, 200 steel crossbows will shoot to fill his whole body.
„Bang”, the footboard falls to the ground, Zhang Xiu the muscle twitched, probably sees the Yangling whole body is the blood, looks at him to fall down astonished.
The bow presented a person, then „step on step on step on” runs to disembark. Far away selects the place to his single Xi, holds the fist in the other hand to salute saying: „Oh, how Commander Zhang came, lower official Liu Biao pays a visit Sir”.
Opens the embroidery to think this person of looking familiar, one hear of he from the report name, the province this is in the brocade uniformed guard a small school Wei, now was actually in the factory thousand households. Zhang Xiuxu held, calls said: „Originally is you? Gets up. Doesn't Sir Yang, how see him?”
Liu Biao be all smile welcomed, grovelling tunnel: „ Sir Yang is going to the capital to see the emperor anxiously, the half-way disembarked the overland route, he he. The Sir you are not a bystander, does not fear you to know that which Sir attended to official duties does not bring smuggled goods on the way?
On this ship is the southern cargo, few days ago imported Capital to go to a ship. These must toward Capital lira, be possible to be too conspicuous again, therefore walked the Tianjin wharf. Small turning head must officially inform the local merchant to come to receive the goods, must stop 2-3 day to return to the Capital again ”.
Opens the embroidery secret passage: „He really uses diversionary tactics, took the land route darkly”. The vision glances gently, on the ship scattered does not see many people, opens the embroidery to smile lightly, beckons with the hand saying: „Already so you go busily. This supervises with Sir Yang long time does not see, wants to arrange a banquet a to chat, now has Capital to say again”.
Liu Biaowang his back deeply was also sighing in the moral nature: „Day behaves badly lives probably, Sir Zhang Sir Zhang, you such sharply are returning to Beijing to lose from already future life, that has only self to blame, may Bei Zhi not be no wonder insincere”.
Opens the embroidery to go out of one, suggested the archer who about ambushes remove. Direction qian matter Charlotte returns asks a low voice: „Sir. Doesn't seize the chance to eat them?”
Zhang Xiudeng his eyes said: „Makes them be him to buy and sell, Yangling not on ship. What ate these small fish small shrimp to use? Gives the person handle on the contrary!”
He thinks that turns head to have a look on the ship the leisurely and carefree foreigner, told in a low voice: „Person were many for the first time eye, I have 2000 people of minutes four to indicate a decision in reply to a request for instructions Capital to converge the northern pacification division troops, so long as Yangling dies, immediately in asked the aim to quell the factory, here gave you, paid attention to the ship sound”.
At King Qiong and Yangling feast corners of the mouth, subsequently suffer the news of violent treachery to pass the national capital through the relay station finally, the supervising institutes, Hanlinyuan and six official public sentiment are agitated, get together in official scholar Liu Jian fu.
Li Dongyang's small sedan chair stops in the mansion gate, just stepped into the courtyard, various officials invade, talk at once to shout: „Li Daxue gentleman, Yang Ling mu does not have the law of the land and unscrupulous, this liao does not eliminate, the royal government is restless. Sir Li, must uphold the justice for King the Shangshu”.
Li Dongyang surface sinks the water, cups one hand in the other across the chest to lead the way, until Liu Jian Studio, the looking on as an outsider study room sat six nine chief ministers, these people but actually also calm, saw him slightly to nod the head. Li Dongyang signals by nodding, walks into the private study, Liu Jian, Xie Qian the big sleeve hangs the clothes, opposite sits, each other did not say a word.
Sees him to come, Liu Jian slowly said: „Guest it, did you hear?”
Li Dongyang nodded, said: „Yes, but ........ Yangling then again domineering, will commit murder the murder to plot to murder the Imperial Court high-ranking court officials for the struggle of corners of the mouth?”
Xie Qian smiles bitterly a sound track: „Who comes to argue for him? Is you are I? This humanities in our elimination, the public sentiment are agitated now, we stood in the hundred officer front people, if stops at this time, or change direction, then linked us to by them be stepped on the under foot! Situation ........ It is not we can control”.
In Li Dongyang is flashing two bunches of spooky flame, the sinking sound track: „Dongchang kills the heart of Yangling, his wins in your me, I suspect ........”.
Liu Jian said decidedly: „King the Shangshu was killed, is the fact, the murderer is not Yangling is Dongchang, when now, potential, but can also make war with Dongchang? Who convinced hundred officers? If suppresses them again, under the public sentiment enrages, perhaps your I ........ Must ignite has immolated oneself”.
Li Dongyang is silent, he also knows, no matter who has killed King Qiong. Becoming the people of important matter should comply with the current situation to eradicate Yangling first, as for Dongchang ........ Yangling one besides, power and influence flamings greatly, tidies up them not to be late again slowly, at this time wants both sides to make war, the reality is the non- wisdom.
Xie Qian holds the case saying: „Just now, I and Sir Liu had discussed with six nine chief ministers, so long as you also agreed. We then submit a joint letter, requested that the emperor does kill Yang Ling, to eliminate eight tigers, how your opinion?”
Li Dongyang hesitates the long time, a forced smile, spooky tunnel: „Now, do we have choose?”
„Officials and officials, is the royal government the officials damages? Always royal courtier misdemeanor has accounted for 67/10, is bent on having a eunuch the matter!” Zhengde sits in the dragon writing desk. Opens a memorial to the emperor to take a liking to two indignantly to throw, in the study room everywhere is the memorials to the emperor that spreads out, he throws, two young court eunuches while lie on the ground are sweating profusely are picking.
At this time, entrance altogether small palace gate gingerly thin sound track: „Sovereign ........ Emperors. The cabinet official scholars have roulade”.
„Assumes!” Zhengde's panting in indignation complexion is red, hears and has the memorial to the emperor indignantly to pound on the table.
Everywhere the memorial to the emperor, that small palace gate does not dare to step on negligently, immediately is similar to dances is standing on tiptoes generally tip of the toe. Sways to arrive at side Zhengde, presents that thick memorial to the emperor.
Zhengde opens looked that all of a sudden has tarried, the canopy palace official scholar, the Jinshendian official scholar, the Wuying official scholar, government official, household, ritual, soldier, labor and punishment, Duchayuan, passes the politics to cause, the Dali Buddhist temple six nine chief ministers and six branch 13 imperial causes ........ Back the names of rows of various handwriting, Zhengde was unable to continue watching.
He is similar at present several hundred head crowding around there, was yelling to him: „Kills Yang Ling, to eliminate eight tigers, clear royal entourage. Otherwise we resign from official life to ask, gives you from manage this big landscape!”
Zhengde sits on the chair, is looking at the front disappointed, in the palace several young court eunuches realized that the emperor look is not right, the hands and feet movement was lighter immediately, the big attitude does not dare to breathe heavily.
Gu Da looked in the palace entrance with the round smiling face inward, is soundless to walk, waved to several young court eunuches. Several small palace gates such as Mongolian pardon. Has drawn back hastily.
Gu Da with arriving at side Zhengde, said with a smile base and low: „Emperor. Also worried for the matter of Imperial Court? Doesn't have six nine chief ministers these old ministers? They the sovereign leave your official first, loyal and devoted, the emperor is young, what matter has to give them to manage and that's the end, is eating the royal government salary, where doesn't have for the truth that Monarch shares sorrow?”
Zhengde looked at his one eyes dull, is startled however said: „Uses greatly, did you come?”
Gu Da with bending the back said: „Yes, the old servant the person has been taming two leopards in the leopard room, is thinking emperor national affairs worried time can seek happily ........”.
He glances the memorial to the emperor that eye these have not picked up secretly, the corner of the eye is not easy to realize that jumped jumping, traded the vice- expression saying: „The emperor, is the old servant serves to be well-grounded since childhood, at that time looked at you to smile, the old servant happily blossomed, now saw that you became the emperor, was the emperor of Ming Dynasty, the world Lord, may not be on the contrary unhappy, old servant ........”.
He was saying was saying, cannot bear burst into tears unexpectedly, hurried has wiped tears, said: „Old servant should coax you to be happy, how from have cried, the old servant deserves death, the old servant deserves death!” Was saying he has pulled out maliciously from already two mouths.
Zhengde saw, jumped suddenly, cries loudly, Gu Da with seeing that kneels on the ground hastily makes the vigor kowtow saying: „Old servant deserves death, the old servant annoys the emperor not to be unhappy ........”.
Zhengde overtakes to pull up him, the sob said: „Uses, to give me to get up greatly. I still remember that I climbed up to set up in childhood mischievously, you stand under the tree ask me to get down, startles full Tou is the perspiration, I slid the hand to fall, was you throws to catch me, my boots have also scratched the long opening on your neck, blood directing current, but you considered only to hug me to yell ‚crown prince master is well’, I ........ I ........”.
He weeps bitterly, makes an effort to pat the dragon writing desk trapped|sleepy beast to exclaim likely generally: „Accompanies me to play some games, coaxes me to be happy, how has become the unpardonably wicked disloyal subject?”
Young emperor eyes tearful tunnel: „Yang Shidu. Said that he covets the power to make an arbitrary decision, ambitiouily, I, they were blind inadequately, which next causes is not my hard line to him? Solemn Shangshu, he is not a willing worker, said that he is ambitious?”
Zhengde is sobbing, bringing crying sound saying: „I want to use from already the person, has not made him intervene the royal government. Isn't this good? Isn't this good? They such bully me, often threatened dismisses from office does not do, do they actually want to make me what kind of?”
Gu Da sharply jumps with corner of the eye one, accompanies to say with a smile: „The emperor not cries, the emperor not cries, you are an emperor, entire day under the person listen your, this must make one to see. How could it not be to annoy the person to laugh?”.
He did not say fortunately, this saying not less than aggravating the situation, Emperor Zhengde is angry saying: „ Who listens to me? Who listens my? Is I am all listening to them, I pay them the national affairs full-time childcare, this is insufficient.
I must eat anything, to put on anything. When sleeps when gets out of bed must listen their, you said that the world is my? Is inside this palace, they stipulated where I can go, where cannot go. Whose on this day under is? ”
Gu Da with seeing Zhengde flies into a rage, does not dare to be exciting he, his shrinking tunnel: „The emperor appeases anger, on them memorial to the emperor was not one time two, you sealed also and that's the end, not must also injure from already body”.
Zhengde has scratched tear stains, picks up that memorial to the emperor from the table, said with a smile miserably: „Seals also? This time was the cabinet three Duke, six nine chief ministers and civil and military hundred officers compels the palace to come. What to do do you want me?”
Liu Jin and the others already quietly waited there, hears here to believe finally Yang Ling said fills toward civil and military attempts the words that they behead completely real, from had been in charge Taijiande to flatter by these is really the sinister plot of Dongchang.
Before this Yangling and Ma Yongcheng ride a sedan, the secret entered the palace, invites eight tigers to refer to this matter, cannot think that this historically arrogance smoked the world eight power to supervise has the intention but not the guts unexpectedly, one hear has annoyed the popular anger, instead frightened the hemp the claw. Give an exaggerated account of things that over the two days whatever these steward court eunuches said. Does not dare to encourage Zhengde to leave the palace, is only hoping the royal courtiers can put their horse.
Now heard continually three Duke and six nine chief ministers over. Even if they do not have the culture, knows that serious of situation, several person somersaults crawl the potential, teaching the method is to cry also to call according to Yangling, since Zhengde nurses serves him to defecate to urinate to speak frankly how to coax him is happy to do one's best to use up the worry.
Weeping with loud noise that said that if the cuckoo crying blood, really heard that the sad listener said the tears, Emperor Zhengde cannot attend to pondering how they resulted in the news to catch up, hearing sadly cried: At present these people can be said as except for first sovereign, in his sentiment the most intimate person, these ministers them said that the fiendish features are similar to the ghost, how making this young emperor be willing to believe?
Yangling stands quietly outside, in a low voice to Miao Kuidao: „Did person control?”
Miao Kui nodded, said: „Sir Yang felt relieved, from now on, the emperor person of I arranged the imperial horse to supervise the trusted subordinate to stare, no one want to approach with them, but ........ What to do if the emperor can't make up mind? Since we began, ceases all activities again must cause them to pay attention”.
Yang Ling sighed gently a sound track: „Emperor young, must close right up against fills toward the civil and military government landscape, wants him to brave hundred officers to turn in resignation the danger to support for me, truly difficult for him”.
His lip floating off light happy expression: „........ Yang already was in the government has treated the person, the earth government and small government except for the authority size does not have what difference, they can turn in resignation, the emperor can not permit.”
Yang Ling is thinking the situation that the scholars of ten years of studying assiduously go to the capital to take the civil service exam, remembers Yan Songwei to enter the examination place kowtows such as mashes up garlic the appearance, the mouth is holding silk cold Yidao: „Academic honor benefits of rank and salary are hard-won, I looked that pushes the boat along to keep the person who continues to serve as an official absolutely is majority, gathers together again slightly, so long as has tied the people of these concrete management, several Shangshu and several bachelors, want to walk, asks them to leave”.
At this time Liu Jin sees the emperor to consider only to cry, but is one does not have the means for the appearance that they support, suddenly wipes tears saying: „The emperor, you matter in palace, the foreign subject knows is so detailed? This is Si Lijian, Dongchang and brocade uniformed guard supports in the back, they should be your informer, but in turn has actually been the scout of foreign subject, all told your matter to them knows that the instigation official charged with remonstrating with the emperor pressed the emperor!”
Wei Binmang said: „Yes, the emperor, lackey heard father-in-law King Yuewang to say to three official scholars with one's own ears: ‚The emperor is young. Fellow gentlemen find the emperor to have incorrect place, spoke frankly, did not need to fear’”.
As soon as Zhengde listens air/Qi trembles, the whole body trembles saying: „This ........ This bold lackey!”
Because Ma Yongcheng court lady stick executes the case to have an enmity to Yangling, but that is only the minor matter, now sits on a ship, must sink sinks together, has wanted one. Also coordinates strongly, vivid tunnel: „The emperor, Dongchang father-in-law model|pattern asked the lackey to ask that what things frequently the emperor often bought, then told outside, in this storehouse, but the emperor from, their this meddled, but also paid attention to the emperor?”
Zhengde complexion blanch, said fierce: „Common saying said a dynasty emperor royal courtier. But since have I succeeded to the throne have moved them? You along with my many years, nowadays have not sat the important post in the imperial palace, official who I only then Yangling promote personally, set up in factory in addition, had not seized their power. What their this makes?”
Zhang Yong studies many in these people, will find the emperor patience completely, then Wen sound will say: „ The emperor, you still remembers that old servant and Qiu Ju do perform in that shadow play to you? Their this unites Imperial Court ministers. Bullies the emperor young, wants to make the emperor turn into that to raise the line puppet.
They pull the connecting rod, you begin, they pull the foot, you move the foot, in brief, is they want to make the emperor do, the emperor must do ........ ”.
„Bang!” A fist strikes to be on record maliciously. Zhengde's complexion by red was changed purple, his chest is fluctuating fiercely, in the volume the blue vein braves, the breath was similar to draws the bellower to breathe heavily generally the long time, the hissing said: „His heart may execute! You said how I should do?”
Yang Ling hears these words, has closed the eye slightly: „ The emperor was persuaded finally, these words asked. A big disturbance was inevitable. My this wicked person in power also did, who also understood me?
But...... Can I why make others understand? It is popular also vigorously. It perishes also suddenly, I was also arranged by the destiny to a here board game piece, the good thunderclap method, saves kindheartedly, so long as I have a clear conscience, how manages his others to see! ” Yang Ling wants to here, has opened the eye, the vision is firm and resolute.
Liu Jin listens to Zhengde this saying, the spirit inspires unconsciously, crawls hastily the first two steps, said: „Your humble and devoted servant falcons and dogs, what Sunwan how many? The factory health/guard is the emperor you supposes, wants to remove anyone with whom, isn't your a few words?”
Zhengde remembers at the memorial to the emperor that long one string of personal names, that has disappeared because of the courage that angry aroused several points, timid tunnel: „But ........ They are holding 12 groups of camps, can be disadvantageous to me? Also ........ Outside these officials, if all abandons me to go, that ........ What to do should I?”
Zhang Yongwei said with a smile: „The emperor felt relieved that Yangling Sir Yang was supervised hundred officers by your life, has dedicated does not dare to idle slightly, heard that outside the imperial palace collaborates to compel the palace, he starry night hurried back to Capital, Emperor Qin escorted, Sir Yang must have brilliant plan”.
As soon as Zhengde listens, as if had the pillar general, called out pleasantly surprised: „Yang Shidu returned to the Capital, he where, quick! Asked him to see me quickly!”
Yangling dodges from the imperial city gate shadow, the quick steps go forward, a holding up the bottom of garment robe just about to stands up from failure to prostrate oneself, Zhengde grasped him, the pleasantly surprised sound trembles saying: „Yang Shidu, Yang Shidu, you may come back, I was bullied painstakingly by them, has you, I then do not fear”.
When the northern pacification division, falls the evening the parting company embroidery led 500 brocade uniformed guards to rush, Mou Bin welcomed to say hurriedly: „Sir, were you so how late also to catch up from Tianjin?”
Zhang Xiu looks at his military garb, was startled has been startled saying: „Aren't you usually in the yamen the casual attire? Just exited?”
Mou Bin pupil light dodges, says with a smile: „Where, these day situations are intense, Bei Zhi is how dare negligent, the arrogant person went to Tianjin to wait for the ships of Yangling, Bei Zhi has been in a high state of combat alertness in in the capital, what kind , did Yang Ling seize?”
Zhang Xiu beckoned with the hand, hints that 500 people to fan into the backyard houses to rest, walks toward the room, while sighed: „You look at my appearance, was seizes likely? He has chosen the overland route, but Dongchang has sent out enough 25,000 people, an unescapable net under the arrange, he wants to go to the capital along the way, only if grows the wing to fly!”
Mou Bin the study room, Zhang Xiu is the ripe gate ripe household, therefore totally unrestrained does not tread, after walking appears in court, sat, looked at Mou Bingen, actually stood near the gate, he he said with a smile: „You have to handle oversized matter, has no need such anxiously, haven't 12 high-ranking officials we taken? Let alone is Yangling that only loses watchdog”.
Mou Bin smiled, said: „12 royal government high-ranking officials, the inferior duty naturally is takes, but the inferior duty has not taken the Jin clothes provincial commander, how can not be anxious?”
Zhang Xiuwen said to stand suddenly, wants not to lift the hand then to grasp on the wall the saber, only listened „to choke lang”, the sword is Dragon Yin, the long unceasing sword howl completely, Zhang Xiu has not raised the sword vertical, was similar to cuts water Feiyan, has leapt the writing desk lightly.
Gains ground looked again that Qianning dodged into from out of the door, in the hand is lifting two steel crossbows, is looking at him with a smile, that crossbow hands-on string pulls open, the above glossy black row of crossbow arrow, in the side the screen also Bang throws down at this time, four brocade uniformed guards also hold the crossbow to stand in behind, dejected has dangled the arm.
Mou Bin said with a smile according to the blade: „One who understands the times was outstanding, the Sir now has understood finally what has to done, oneself brothers, do not resort to arms the bullet wound friendly well. Now I only hope that east edits the person in matter factory also to understand what has to done, otherwise may ask outside person to look to laugh”.
Zhang Xiu is startled and anger, shouted to clear the way severely: „Mou Bin, do you want to revolt inadequately? Dares to arrest this officer! East edits in the matter factory to be stationed in 8000 foreigners now, depends on your 1000 troops also to dare to fight a hopeless battle?”
Mou Bin tunnel: „Sir, Bei Zhigang approved you to understand what has to done, this may violate silly, Dongchang, naturally was that grows the wing to fly back to Sir Yang who Capital came to seize to sentence to go against personally, Bei Zhizen did quite snatch his crest of wave?”
Opens the embroidery to back up two steps, said with amazement: „He ........ Has he gone to the capital?”
Mou Bin with pitying the vision visits him saying: „Does not know that did not know other, how can win? Bei Zhi also just knows that Sir Yang changed personnel does not change players, assumes the guise the horse dealer people to travel day and night from Jinling, returns to Beijing already five day!”
Zhang Xiuwen said that immediately the face whiten, Mou Bin sighed, turned around to walk slowly and aimlessly the room, long tunnel: „Qianning, on xuan sheng instruction from superior!”
Mou Binbu to the hall, in ear only listens to a sound character character of Qianning to transmit: „Looks up the brocade uniformed guard provincial commander to direct to cause Zhang Xiu, colludes with Si Lijian, Dongchang to plot to murder the minister and desire line of illegal, wears detains, Hou Can is awaiting trial!”
