Bachelor

Chapter 145
To be honest, Sun Dan stays with Zhengde now, and his status is a bit awkward.He is neither an official nor a servant, but he can enter and leave the palace. It is not in accordance with the etiquette system. If someone finds out, it will be a very troublesome thing.Of course, Zhengde was a person who didn't follow the rules. He was used to the emperor's absurd behavior. Even if he found a young scholar in the leopard room, it would not be a surprise.

Therefore, Sun Dan could only bite the bullet and stand beside Zhengde's bed.

In his heart, Sun Dan was still very curious about Yang Ting and the chief minister of the cabinet of the Ming Dynasty.First of all, this person is Yang Shen's father. Sun Dan still admires Yang Shen's talent and learning very much, and in his heart, he also vaguely recognizes little scholar Yang as his only confidant in his life.A person who can raise such a son should also be a very talented person.

Moreover, Yang Tinghe has a strong personality and integrity. As the leader of a group of civil servants in Zhengde, he controls the direction of public opinion and is a representative of Qingliu.Serious to the world, Yang Shoufu is not only the prime minister of the empire, but also the embodiment of moral justice.

But because of his extremely straightforward temper, since he became the chief assistant of the cabinet, he has not been able to get along well with Zhengde.Both he and Zhengde are very powerful people, and it is inevitable that they have differences in views on the country's major affairs.Sometimes, Sun Dan even thought that for an emperor like Zhengde, it might be more appropriate to choose a cabinet minister like Yan Song.

It was said that on New Year's Eve, Yang Tinghe had a big fight with Zhengde about setting up an heir, and the emperor was so angry that he vomited blood.It has only been twelve days now, and seeing that Zhengde's spirit has improved, the old man chased after him to quarrel, and he still refuses to let him go, which is a bit too much.

Bi Yun obviously had nothing to do with Yang Tinghe. It could be seen that Bi Yun was also a man of martial arts, but how could he dare to fight against the head of the court as a mere servant? After calling a few times, he had no choice but to let Yang Tinghe go. broke in.

Obviously, Zhengde was annoyed to see this prime minister, and when he heard Yang Tinghe's footsteps, he immediately turned around and pretended to be asleep, exposing his buttocks.However, due to his illness, Zhengde had a severe stomachache and his body trembled slightly.But he stiffened and didn't make a sound.

As soon as Yang Tinghe entered the room, he saw Sun Dan and was taken aback.

The people in the leopard room were either eunuchs or warriors, while Sun Dan was dressed as a scholar, with a thin beard that looked like fluff on his lips, so he could tell he was not from the palace.

However, Emperor Zhengde did not do too many ridiculous things in the past few years, he was only slightly surprised, and Yang Tinghe didn't take it to heart.He was the Yuanfu of the court, and he was concerned about major issues, but he was not interested in who the Emperor Zhengde was staying with.

He walked to Zhengde's bed, stood upright, coughed, and said, "Your Majesty!"

Although the voice of "Your Majesty" was not loud, it was extremely clear and penetrating, as if it was played from a high-end stereo, which shocked Sun Dan.This is a real skill. I heard that a good announcer can host a party for thousands of people without using any amplification equipment, and let everyone in a studio hear clearly what he said. one word.It seems that this Yang Tinghe should have practiced, or in other words, he was born with this specialty.

Sun Dan used to be an announcer of the school radio station when he was studying, so he is no stranger to this line of work.

Only then did Sun Dan take a closer look at Yang Tinghe. To be honest, Yang Tinghe is really a handsome man. He is about 50 years old this year. A 50-year-old looks very young in modern society, but in the ancient times of malnutrition, he could already be called an old man.There are people with dove skin and white hair, and those with white hair and white hair are also very common.But this Yang Tinghe still had jet-black hair, and his face was so smooth that no wrinkles could be seen.With a straight nose and resolute eyes, he is three points more refined than his son Yang Shen.

This is also understandable. In the selection of officials in the Ming Dynasty, in addition to the talents and conduct of officials, appearance was the first priority. If you grow up to look like Uncle Benshan, even if you win the Jinshi, you will be a county magistrate in this life.

Yang Tinghe yelled, Zhengde didn't move, and ignored him.

"Your Majesty, I know you are awake. As the king of a country, there are some things that you cannot hide from." Yang Tinghe's voice became louder, and it made Sun Dan's ears buzz.

After calling several times in a row, Zhengde still pretended to be asleep, unable to wake up.

Sun Dan was amused to see this, the two monarchs and ministers are very personal.It has been ten years since Yang Tinghe became the chief assistant in the sixth year of Zhengde, and I don't know how they get along, don't you feel painful?
Just about to laugh, an amazing scene happened.Yang Tinghe suddenly stretched out his hand to grab Zhengde's quilt and threw it off, shouting loudly: "Your Majesty, my minister Yang Tinghe has this to play."

Yang Tinghe's astonishing action made everyone break out in a cold sweat, Bi Yun wailed and rushed in: "Master Yuanfu, you can't do this. Your Majesty's body is weak, and it's so cold!"

Sun Dan was also so startled that he almost jumped up, as far as he knew from the TV shows in ancient costumes he had watched before.The ancient kings existed like the sky, supreme and inviolable.If Yang Tinghe's rude behavior was placed in the Qing Dynasty, he would at least be punished for a serious crime of disrespect, and it would be relatively light to be beaten to death directly, and even his family would be implicated.

By the way, when Yang Tinghe came into the room just now, he didn't see him kowtow three times like in the Qing palace drama, shouting long live long live.Even Sun Dan, a commoner, has never let Zhengde kneel during the many days he has been in contact with Zhengde, and everyone stands or sits casually when they meet.

It seems that there are still many differences in the truth of history.In the Ming Dynasty, the king and the bureaucratic group ruled the world, and everyone was the boss and the employee. It was not like the Qing Dynasty, where the emperor was the master and everyone in the world was a slave.

Living in such an era can be regarded as a kind of luck. At least, officials and literati of the Ming Dynasty were able to maintain their independent personalities.

Emperor Zhengde probably didn't expect Yang Tinghe to do this to him, and he couldn't pretend anymore, so he turned around slowly, pretending to be trembling slightly, with a candle in the wind, and said weakly: "Bi Yun , get up and show Master Yang your seat."

Yang Tinghe didn't sit down either, he took out a memorial from his pocket and handed it over: "Your Majesty, this is the memorial of my minister, please read it."

Zhengde pointed at Sun Dan with a skinny finger: "You read it."

Only at this time did Yang Tinghe pay attention to Sun Dan, took a deep look at him, and said, "Your Majesty, this memorial is very important, so please read it yourself. Otherwise, I can directly draft a bill in the cabinet for approval by the Supervisor of Ceremonies." Hong, why bother to break into the palace and startle Sheng Jia?"

"I'm so sick that I can't read clearly." Zhengde panted, pointing at Sun Dan: "His name is Sun Dan, and he is half a student of your son. You don't need to read what you say in this memorial." I can also guess it. I have done everything in my life, and I have nothing to say to others, and I am not afraid of being seen."

Hearing Zhengde talk about Sun Dan, Yang Tinghe carefully looked at Sun Dan's words, his face was very ugly.He handed the memorial to Sun Dan and said, "You are a scholar, what are you doing here in the palace?"
