    Chapter 92 The Wind and Cloud in Huangzhuang

    When Yang Ling came to Qianqing Palace, he saw Ma Yongcheng and Gu Dayong were in the hall, Gu Dayong was waiting behind Zhengde, and Ma Yongcheng was talking in front of the case.  Seeing him coming, Emperor Zhengde interrupted Ma Yongcheng and said with a smile: "I told you to come later, it was really late enough, and you will arrive only after I have gone to court."

    After seeing the ceremony, Yang Ling said with a smile: "The emperor asked the minister to rest more. It is the emperor's sympathy. If the minister came early, wouldn't it be against the sacred intention?"

    Emperor Zhengde curled his lips and said: "You are hypocritical, you have a lady to accompany you, so naturally you don't want to accompany me." Seeing Yang Ling startled, he couldn't help laughing, clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Sure enough, I guessed it, young lady sister  Just like the queen mother, all women in the world are similar, haha!"

    Yang Ling couldn't help but laugh when he heard that, Ma Yongcheng and Gu Dayong heard that he was an emperor, and they didn't have any scruples to call him a young lady, so they had to laugh along with him, and they didn't dare to criticize him.

    Ma Yongcheng coughed twice, greeted Yang Ling with a smile, quickly changed the subject and continued to the Emperor Zhengde: "Your Majesty, after the old slave revealed your meaning in the court room, the Minister of the Household Department, Han Wenhan, said:  "The national treasury is empty, and the financial management officials are not those juggling jugglers invited by the East Palace. They can be created out of nothing. Now Badaling is building a city, and Tailing is also being built. The emperor should use it sparingly."

    Zhengde slapped the table and said angrily: "What is this called? Our Ming Dynasty has always paid less tax to support the people. The tax collected by the court is not much. Besides, I also said that half of the money should be taken from the internal treasury.  But tell them to repair the garden in Beihai, pull out the weeds, build a few small boats, and I will go to play in my free time, and there are so many sayings, this group of bird ministers!"

    Ma Yongcheng bowed his head and said: "Yes, yes, Lord Jiao Fangjiao, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, said: 'Common people also have extra expenses, and sometimes they go out for fun, build a garden or pavilion at home, let alone the royal family?  The imperial court has always been tolerant, and now there are countless money and food owed and hidden taxes in the world! Even if only 10 to 20% are collected back, there is no need for the emperor to limit the expenses'".

    After hearing this, Emperor Zhengde turned his anger into joy and said, "Jiao Fang? Is that Jiao Fang who took a small living thing to admonish me yesterday? Hehe, this official's way of admonishing is interesting.  If you don¡¯t listen to him, it¡¯s like the sky is going to fall. Well, it¡¯s quite considerate to listen to him, he¡¯s a good official.¡±

    Ma Yongcheng laughed and said: "What the emperor said is true, but Mr. Jiao was immediately reprimanded by Mr. Han, Mr. Yang, Mr. Liu, etc. He was so shocked that he didn't dare to answer."

    Emperor Hongzhi seldom traveled. He had not been out of the Forbidden City many times in his life. Although he took his son out in private, he only went for a walk in the market. Naturally, he could not go to the royal garden. It was in disrepair for a long time, and the North Sea was deserted.

    Now that Zhengde is going to be repaired, the project is actually not a big one, and the cost of money is very little. Yang Ling had already heard from him in advance, and also vaguely heard that the reason why the courtiers resolutely opposed this matter was just a precautionary measure, and he was afraid that this would happen in the future.  , the emperor became more and more playful, so he resolutely opposed it, and must bind the emperor in the Forbidden City.

    In Yang Ling's view, this is just a trivial matter. Whether it is repaired or not has no effect on Daming today, and it will not change the history he knows.  This matter has not reached the point of wasting people's money and money, and Yang Ling didn't expect to transform Zhengde into a public servant of the people, so he naturally didn't say anything.

    Zhengde muttered indignantly for a while, and said like a discouraged ball: "Let's do this first, they don't pay, I spend it myself, you watch the purse carefully for me. By the way,  Now you accompany Yang Ling to the outskirts of the city to take over my Huangzhuang, and I will go and see it myself when I have time."

    Seeing that he was in a bad mood, Yang Ling and Ma Yongcheng hurriedly took the order to leave the hall, and first went to see the five hundred soldiers led by Liu Biao.  When Yang Ling saw Ma Yongcheng, he remembered that it was Ma Yongcheng who sent the silver to redeem Tang Yixian's life, and he brought the three girls back home. He thought he had saved them from the fire pit, but now the girl Yixian disappeared without a trace, and he felt in his heart  Can not help but feel a little depressed.

    Seeing his gloomy expression, Ma Yongcheng couldn't help saying strangely: "Master Yang, why are you so preoccupied? What's on your mind?"

    Yang Ling said with a strong smile: "Oh, it's nothing, by the way, last time my father-in-law sent silver taels to redeem Miss Tang, I only spent 10,000 taels, and I haven't found a chance to return the rest of the silver taels to my father-in-law.  Take the silver and return it to you."

    Ma Yongcheng smiled and said: "No need, no need, the emperor favors Lord Yang, and even gave him a big house in the Huangzhuang. This respect for others is incomparable. From now on, our family will need Lord Yang to help and take care of us."

    He proudly showed off again: "What's more, today'ssp; It turns out that the Jiaofang Division is affiliated to the Ministry of Rites, and there are one left and right Shaowu and one left and right Siyue. This place is not just for managing official prostitutes. The Jiaofang Division is the ritual and music institution of the imperial court.  Division is responsible.

    The Jiaofang Division is divided into two types: the prostitute family and the music family.  Prostitute men, their wives and daughters are engaged in a career of laughing; and musicians, generally speaking, their wives and daughters are singing prostitutes.  Once in the Jiaofang Division, males are born as slaves and daughters are prostitutes for generations. Today, many prostitutes in the Jiaofang Division are even descendants of some criminal official families, ministers and princes more than a hundred years ago or even earlier.

    Although the Jiaofang Division is in charge of Zuo Shaowu and Zuo Siyue, because court rites and music often require the Jiaofang Division to be responsible for rehearsal and performance, in order to facilitate dispatch, there is also an eunuch in the palace who is in charge of directing the Jiaofang Division. This is the Jiaofang Division  The real people in power.  Liu Jin used to be the eunuch in charge of the Jiaofang Division, but was later dismissed by Hongzhi because he was accused of accepting bribes.  Work, but no real power.

    When Yang Ling heard that the eunuch in the palace was in charge of the Jiaofang Division, he couldn't help but be overjoyed. Now that he comes forward, even Wang Yue Wang Gonggong has to give some face, let alone others, even if there is Zheng Deheng there.  In a word, it's okay to take a break if we don't send that Miss Gao to pick up the guests for the time being.

    Yang Ling thought about this, instead of going to the Jiaofang Division, he ran to the imperial city first, and when he got outside the imperial city, he suddenly woke up. Now that the palace is closed at this time, even if he is holding the tooth card in the palace, he can't even try to scream  Gongmen couldn't help being dumbfounded.

    In the vicinity of Jiaofangsi in the south of Beijing, there are three steps on the first floor and five steps on the first courtyard. Most of the capital¡¯s brothels and singing houses are concentrated here.  , and said to the humanity standing in front of him: "Is there still no one from the Gao family?"

    The man in front of him was about fifty years old, with two mouse whiskers, wearing a soap shirt and a green kerchief on his head, and said with a smile: "My lord, the Gao family has been confiscated, and the whole family has been taken as slaves. How can anyone  Willing to spend money."

    Sikong Ming snorted displeasedly, the prostitutes of the Jiaofang Division include singing girls, maikos, and music prostitutes, etc., and the emperor's decree did not clearly order to receive guests, so the Jiaofang Secretary has the right to arrange what kind of occupation this prostitute will engage in.

    If the Gao family is willing to spend a lot of money, although Ms. Gao has decided to be a prostitute in her whole life, and if she becomes a family and has children in the future, she will be a prostitute for generations, but she may not be a prostitute.  Sikong Ming thought he could make a fortune, but now it seems that the Gao family is really down and everyone is pushing, and no one is willing to support him anymore.

    He piled up the tea bowls, saw that green hat Lehu was still standing in front of him, he couldn't help but stare, and shouted: "Why are you still standing there? Go, ask some people to wash up that young lady, and I'll put up a sign to pick up guests tonight."  ".

    The green hat rubbed his hands together and laughed: "My lord, that girl has a strong temper. Don't offend the guest. If you are not young, give her this woman first. Once you do, you will break the pot."

    Si Kongming laughed out loud when he heard it, and he scolded with a smile: "Our Jiaofang Division has not come in for a long time. The father of this Miss Wenxin is a medical officer who serves the emperor's imperial physician, and she herself is a goddess doctor.  There are too many people queuing up to try her taste, you are not allowed to move, speak out, and the price of the first prize will be doubled, hehehehe" (Remember the website website: www.hlnovel.  com
