381 Return to court
The family banquet in the Yang Mansion was very rich due to the emperor's arrival. The women's family members opened a table in the back yard. Zhengde, Yang Ling, and Zhang Yong drank freely in the front hall. Only the bride went back to the Yang Mansion and followed the Chinese style. According to the rules, stay in her new house accompanied by Xi Niang and cannot come out.
Emperor Zhengde was very happy and comfortable because he was surrounded by close officials whom he saw every day. Everyone was drinking and having fun, talking and laughing happily. It was already late when they came back, but seeing that the sky was getting dark, although the emperor usually lived in the Leopard Garden and didn't have to worry about locking the Forbidden Palace, but it was not too late to return to the city.
Yang Ling persuaded with a smile: "Your Majesty, seeing that it's getting late, I don't dare to stay with Your Majesty for a long time, otherwise I may be reprimanded by the emperor. You should go back to the palace, Your Majesty."
Emperor Zhengde was in high spirits after drinking, and said: "Hey, it's okay, just let the city gate open again later."
Yang Ling said with a smile: "Your Majesty, although the thieves and bandits in white have rushed to the south, it is inevitable that some wandering soldiers will escape and stay in the north. Your Majesty is a body of gold, so don't take a little risk. The tired birds return to their nests. Let's drink to our heart's content, the emperor won't let us drive anymore, and the ministers are worried, this wine can't be drunk anymore."
Zhengde was content with himself, and he didn't realize that he was wearing a high hat and swallow tail, just like a big bird, who was reluctant to leave after hearing the words and laughing. Mu Bin and the others were responsible for the emperor's safety, so they didn't dare to take the slightest risk. Man said that someone really hurt the emperor, even if someone bumped into the emperor and shocked the emperor, they couldn't afford it.
Mou Bin rolled his eyes, and whispered a few words into the emperor's ear. After hearing this, Zhengde burst into laughter, and his big tail trembled and trembled strangely. Zhengde said to Yang Ling with a smile all over his face: "It turns out that such a tired bird returns to its nest, haha, you can return to your nest, I will drive back to Beijing right now, so as not to miss your good deed, hahaha ".
Yang Ling was speechless, watching the emperor stand up waddlingly with a big tail. After hearing the news, the female relatives in the back hall hurriedly sent out. The whole family sent Zhengde to the sedan chair, and the imperial guards escorted him back to the city.
After sending this big bird away, the whole family breathed a sigh of relief. The mess in the vestibule was being cleaned up, so Yang Ling, his wife and concubine, Tang Yixian, and Cheng Qiyun went to the back hall to sit in the flower hall and asked someone to make tea. As soon as Yang Ling pretended to sit down, Tang Yixian and Xue Limei laughed and pushed him out.
Yang Ling smiled, glanced around and saw that everyone was chatting and drinking tea in the living room, and then Shi Shiran walked to Adni's residence. The sky is dark, there is a happy event today, and lanterns are hung all over the yard. At this time, the national mourning period for the Empress Dowager had just passed, and the lanterns were changed to red at the first glance, and I was in a good mood just looking at them.
? As soon as she entered Adeni's bedroom, she saw colorful flowers, dragons, phoenixes and red candles burning brightly. When Xi Niang saw the master coming in, she greeted the master with a smile, and then retreated. Adni sat by the bed, dressed in a white wedding dress, looking at Yang Ling sweetly.
Yang Ling closed the door, walked over and sat beside her, held her hand and smiled, "Have you eaten?"
Adni nodded shyly and said: "Well, Xi Niang prepared snacks and hot porridge for me, and I have eaten them."
She gently withdrew her hand, walked to the table, lifted the pot, filled a cup of steaming tea and brought it to Yang Ling's side. Yang Ling took it in her hand, and saw that the tea was shiny and rosy, which was not like what she usually saw , took a sip curiously, it was not tea at all, it was sweet, like sugar water mixed with honey.
Yang Ling asked in amazement, "Is this honey?"
Adni looked at her husband sweetly, and said softly: "Yes, I will drink this honey water with you every day."
She looked forward, and said in a sweet voice: "Honey is a symbol of life, health, and fertility. Within 30 days of our marriage, drink honey water and pray that our life is as sweet as honey. This is our 'honeymoon'." 'ah".
Only then did Yang Ling know the source of the honeymoon. He took another sip, put the honey in his mouth, put the cup aside, then wrapped his arms around Adni's slender waist, and moved his mouth towards her. Adni closed her eyes in embarrassment, her petal-like plump and moving lips approached her. The two shared the honey in their mouths, and the pair of bodies gradually lay down on the bed. The red candle was burning high, sniffing, soft and soft, extremely alluring.
It's been a long, long time
Yang Ling sat up suddenly, and said angrily, "This skirt, how do you untie this skirt?"
Adni's clothes are messy, her breasts are half exposed, her cheeks are rosy, and the boundless spring scenery makes people's ears jump, but the cumbersome skirt is fastened with some buttons, but they just can't be opened, and the buttons are row after row, from the chest Keep going down until you grasp the slenderness of the waist.
Embarrassed, Adney went to untie the skirt by herself, but it was the same.Is it a barren wilderness? No, they were all annexed by honored relatives, officials, gentry and landowners. They did not pay taxes, but apportioned the taxes that should be paid to the court to the self-cultivating farmers, doubled their taxes, and sent their own land under the names of fugitive households and extinct households. It's a big crime.
? Now the land taxed by the imperial court is half of what it was at the beginning of the founding of the country, and the tax collected by the imperial court this year is only 10% less. Where did the 40% come from? It was all paid by those poor people who tightened their belts. Pursuing rent for the land is nothing strange, all the official land is sold for the people, the rich family gets the land and the people pay the rent, and the old rent is repaid every year, and the farmer's property goes to the tax deposit, and the situation is miserable. This is a major event that shakes the foundation of the country, no matter who commits the crime , should be severely punished.
Yan Shenggong is a subject of the emperor and a citizen of Ming Dynasty, and as a descendant of a saint, he should take care of himself and set an example. The minister should seriously investigate this matter, and if there is indeed something illegal, he should also be punished. All are equal before the laws of the country, and all are treated equally before the laws of the country! "
These words are loud and upright, and it can be regarded as an answer to everyone in court: "Don't continue to wait and see with illusions, even if you are Yan Shenggong, if there is something illegal, the court will punish you severely, and your face is too big for Yan Sheng Holy Duke to go?"
Zhao Jianzhi, the servant of the Ministry of Punishment, coughed, raised his eyebrows and glanced at him, and suddenly went out of the class to play: "Your Majesty, I have a case here, and I dare not discuss it rashly. I hereby report it to the Emperor for a decision."
Emperor Zhengde saw that someone was making a fuss about Yan Shenggong, and hearing Yang Ling's tone, it was obvious that Yan Shenggong had been settled, and he would have to make these people dumb when he turned around. Don't care about it and say: "what's Aiqing's performance, just tell me."
Zhao Jianzhi glanced at Yang Ling, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Your Majesty, there is a case file transferred by the Jingzhou Judiciary, accusing His Royal Highness King Liao of Jingzhou, Hubei, for oppressing the village and fish and meat people, embezzling the farmland, and beating dozens of people to death. The common people who went to Suotian after the new policy raved that the descendants of phoenixes and dragons don¡¯t need to be bound by the new law. His Royal Highness the Liao King has a precious status, so he has to present it to the imperial court, and ask the emperor to deal with it!¡±
