The best Daming golden turtle son-in-law

Chapter 84 Yang Ling Arrested
"Come on! Tie the two of them up for me, and we'll talk about it later!"

"Yes!" A group of guards came in, obeyed the order, wiped Yang Ling's arm, twisted Jiang Zhuo's shoulder, beat and kicked them in minutes!

"My lord, we are wronged!" The change was so sudden that Yang Ling couldn't turn his mind. "Didn't the imperial decree send us to Beijing?"

"Yes!" Jiang Zhuo also yelled wronged, "My lord! Just catch us! Lock us up! Give me a reason too? We just praised you as the pillar of the Ming Dynasty, with high morals and high prestige. How can you give me a reason like this? Detain us without giving us? We refuse to accept it!"

"Hmph! Wait a minute," the old Li Dongyang came over with his hands behind his back, looking angrily at the two people who were tied firmly, "Which of you is Yang Ling?"

"The student is Yang Ling."

"Yang Ling, your reputation has spread in the capital!" Li Dongyang stared at Yang Ling and said in a deep voice, "Do you know how you were spread? You arrested Prince Ning's son? You trained the soldiers to make firearms ? You fought against the Mongolian soldiers, you also eradicated the power of the Demon Cult in the north, and..."

"There are many more. I did all these good things. What's wrong?"

"Good... thing? Hahaha! Do you think it's a good thing?" Mr. Li said dumbfoundingly, "Look at the good things you did!"

Yang Ling was puzzled: "My lord, we have done all these things with no regrets, and the people of Qingquan are all applauding."

"But people in the capital are scolding you! Your eyes are fixed on Qingquan," Li Dongyang frowned and pointed at Yang Ling's nose, "but do you know how messed up you are in the capital?"

"What's wrong with the capital, sir? It's different from Qingquan? Students... I really don't understand."

"I don't understand, let me tell you. Whether King Ning has any disagreements with the court is being discussed intensely, but you captured King Ning's son and lost the prisoner on the way to escort him. You didn't even have any evidence or confessions. Do you know what it is to startle the snake? All the efforts made by the court before have been in vain! Do you understand? I overturned the table when I read your official document, how can you be so foolish!"

"I..." Only now did Yang Ling know that Prince Ning's son was rescued, and it seemed that there was already a bad result.

"Anyway, now that King Ning has sued you, His Majesty has nothing to do. He has promised King Ning to punish you a little bit. I want to do my best to protect you, but King Ning refuses to agree!"

"This... King Ning has entered the capital? This is impossible! The prince cannot leave his fief!"

"I don't understand that the vassal king can't enter the capital? He hasn't left the fief, but his wife has arrived in the capital. Isn't it okay to pass the news through the harem?"

"How can a woman interfere in politics?"

"Stop selling your cleverness. King Ning is very powerful, and his eyes and hands are open to the sky! You have arrested King Ning and Concubine Ning and her sons. How can Concubine Ning spare you?"

"My lord, I am determined to bring them down!"

"Shut up, the prince wants to do something crazy. There have been many precedents over the years, but they are kings after all. As long as they don't go too far, ordinary people can't control them."

"This..." Yang Ling realized that her political acumen was really shallow in other people's mouths.

This reminded him of that sentence: There are specializations in the art industry, each with its own characteristics.Isn't he really the one who engages in court struggles and political struggles?
Li Dongyang looked outside and said: "Yang Ling, I have heard about your deeds. I used to appreciate your character, but now I think your behavior is too reckless and disappoints me too much, alas!"

The sun was slanting, and the old man looked particularly vicissitudes. He murmured:
"You two little guys who don't know the importance are like two little moths. You want to put out the evil fire of King Ning, but what happens? It's just a waste of life... The country is short of a good person. You wrote "" I read "Swordsman" and it is very good, you are very courageous! How dare you satirize the hypocrites in the palace!"

"Actually, I mainly want to make the book more popular in the streets and alleys. The main goal is to entertain, and the irony is secondary."

Yang Ling looked at this old man with a lot of gray hair, who had always been well-known and had worked hard for the country and the people all his life. Li Dongyang, who was opposite him, could tell that the words seemed to be extremely heartbroken, and he couldn't help but feel a heat in his chest:
"My lord, forget it. If you don't want you to protect the students anymore, what do students have to do even if they are moths? If there are all smart people in this world, who would be willing to throw themselves into the fire and sacrifice for the common people in the world? Kill me Yang Ling, if If I can alert the world, then my death will be worth it!"

"Is it worth it? You are meaningless sacrifices, you are so stupid! You will understand what I said. Your life and death are insignificant to King Ning, but he still wants you to die because you offended him; on the contrary, you His death also fueled his arrogance and strengthened his determination to make trouble in the future! Alas!"

"grown ups……"

Yang Ling is confused now: "It seems to us that we can't die or live. What does this Li Dongyang want?"

"First put you under house arrest in my Ministry of Rites. Princess Ning also has a time limit when she comes to the capital. After the limelight is over, I will let you out again. Do you understand?"

"This... Your Excellency is calling us to come to Beijing to present paintings. I am an alternate painter, so I have to face the Holy Spirit..."

"Hey, don't mention your candidate painter. I used my position to send it to you. I'm afraid His Majesty doesn't even have an impression of such trivial official documents."

"what?"

These words were like pouring cold water on Yang Ling's head. He thought that the emperor had a good impression of his paintings, but it turned out... let alone paintings, I'm afraid he had never even heard of his own name.Yang Ling also wanted to take this shortcut to get close to the emperor, and then impress him to put forward various political opinions, such as opening the sea ban, such as planting high-yield corn and sweet potatoes on a large area to prevent the coming catastrophe and plague.

It all turned out to be an illusion.

"No, it was the case of treason that let the Holy One know that you have your name."

Li Dongyang corrected with a sigh: "He knows that there is a stunned young man like you, who is more courageous than the sky, dare to poke the hornet's nest of King Ning, and my lord is the calmest person, do you know what kind of person he hates the most? It’s the so-called smart person like you who thinks you’ve done a good thing, but actually ruined the whole pot!”

"My lord, how long will we be imprisoned?"

Jiang Zhuo is actually more innocent. He originally opposed the matter of arresting Prince Ning's son, but Yang Ling was very confident in his judgment, so he preconceived that King Ning was bound to rebel, but he didn't expect that there would be such a thing. There are so many complex relationships in it.

So Jiang Zhuo didn't say much when facing Li Dongyang.Seeing that being imprisoned was about to become a reality this time, he had no choice but to speak up.

"About a month!" Li Dongyang said, "I'll lock you up and tell the public that you didn't come to my place, and drag this matter to Princess Ning, and your crisis will be over."

"No!" Jiang Zhuo suddenly screamed, "Yang Ling still has to rush for the exam! The exam will be in a month, how can he refer to it if he is not ready?"

"Still want to refer?"

Li Dongyang shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I can't guarantee whether you will live or die within this month, but I believe that there is no safer place than here except where I lock you up, don't you believe it?"

"Why?"

"Because Princess Ning got a dispensation from the emperor, saying that as long as she can kill Yang Ling, she will kill him!"

"I'm really speechless, Daming can still have such a license! Where is the king's law?"

"Silly boy, weren't you still thinking about moths throwing fire?" Li Dongyang said, "From now on, I will arrange you in a library in the Imperial Academy of the Ministry of Rites, and someone will take care of all your food and lodging. The two of you It’s not too boring to be together alone. If you are really bored, you can read a book. Anyway, there are many books in it, and a month will pass quickly. If you want to live, just listen to me.”

"Master Li, please forgive me. If you want to keep Yang Ling, you can keep him with you, but I can't accompany him in the library. I have to go outside. They hate Yang Ling."

"what?"

"Our Tang's restaurant is about to open..."

"Money or death?"

This time it was Yang Ling and Li Dongyang who spoke in unison.
