One hundred and seventy seventh chapter and for love

I have to say that Anda made the right choice when he sent Dushan to the Ming Dynasty to discuss peace talks. Dushan was worthy of being a figure who had been the left prime minister under Anda for many years. He was well-mannered and well-mannered in the court of the Ming Dynasty. He was neither servile nor servile. He also gave Longqing and all the officials of the Ming Dynasty enough face. He made all the officials of the Ming Dynasty in the court feel like spring breeze and feel twice as proud.

Finally, Long Qing ordered the cabinet, the Ministry of Rites and other relevant yamen to entertain the Mongolian envoys well and conduct negotiations on tribute peace talks as soon as possible. He also comforted Han Naji. Then he ordered all the generals to be kind and treat Han Naji and others. The man was led down.

"Dear dear sirs, the eunuch Yang Ning, the eunuch of the Li Eunuch Bingbi, this time he went to the grassland. Not only did he replace the evil-doing leader of the White Lotus Sect and the Han thief Zhao Quan, he also reached a peace negotiation with Anda Khan and stabilized our Ming Dynasty. The situation in northern Xinjiang. The merits achieved are of great significance. How do you think I should reward you?" Emperor Longqing smiled and looked at Yang Ning who was kneeling in front of the imperial steps.

"Your Majesty, Eunuch Yang is on his mission to the grassland this time. Although he has made great contributions, his official position is now Eunuch Bingbi, the Supervisor of Ceremonies. Above him, there are only Eunuch Meng and Eunuch Feng of Dongchang. They are no longer there. The law has been promoted again. I think it would be appropriate to reward him with gold, silver, money and silk." A minister was the first to go out to report. But it was Zhang Siwei. Even Longqing spoke highly of Yang Ning's contribution. But Zhang Siwei But he only suggested rewarding him with money. It was clear that he was against Yang Ning.

As soon as Zhang Siwei finished speaking, another official of the second rank, wearing a golden pheasant patchwork uniform, came out and said: "Your Majesty, I think Master Zhang's words are very inappropriate. Eunuch Yang went north to the grassland this time. His achievements are obvious to all. "If the reward is so frivolous, it will make people in the world feel cold." Yang Ning did not know this minister, but he was probably on Zhang Juzheng's side. This second-grade official is the rank of the six ministers.

"Since Mr. Wang said this, how can I give this reward? Why not give me your opinion?" Zhang Siwei said coldly to the second-rank official.

"Your Majesty, your lords, Eunuch Yang, as an eunuch, went deep into the tiger's den on the grassland alone. Not only did he capture Zhao Quan and other traitors, but he also made me agree to surrender and surrender. He brought peace to our northern border. Such a great achievement. Isn't it something that ordinary rewards can demonstrate? Therefore, I suggest that the emperor make an exception and grant him the title of 'Marquis' to demonstrate my great power and the emperor's virtue of benevolence and saintliness."

Wow...

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in the court. Even Yang Ning himself felt that this "Master Wang" was really too "oriented" towards him.

Eunuchs were granted titles. This was something that had never happened since the beginning of the Ming Dynasty. Even Liu Jin, the great eunuch who dominated the ruling class during the reign of Emperor Wuzong, had never received any titles.

"Your Majesty, this must not be done. Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty by Taizu, there has never been a precedent for eunuchs to be ennobled. This case must not be allowed." An old official with white eyebrows walked out of the class tremblingly and said .

"There is no precedent. It starts from Eunuch Yang. Why not?"

"Your Majesty, this must never be done."

"What can't be done? How can we highlight Eunuch Yang's great contribution this time?"



For a time, voices of opposition arose one after another, and voices of support followed suit. Officials from the two factions were red-faced and rolling up their arms and sleeves. A fight was about to begin. The court hall was suddenly very lively. Emperor Longqing was so noisy that he felt dizzy. My brain was swollen, but I had no choice but to watch the two sides arguing. As the leaders of the two factions of officials, Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng, they did not speak from the beginning to the end.

Yang Ning knelt on the ground. Her knees gradually started to hurt. She couldn't help cursing in her heart: I don't want any reward. Don't let me kneel here anymore. That's the biggest reward.

"Your Majesty, I have something to say." Yang Ning suddenly shouted loudly.

The originally noisy courtroom was silenced by Yang Ning's voice. There was silence for a while.

Emperor Longqing's buzzing ears were clear. He said in a panic: "If you have anything to say, just say it."

"Your Majesty, I have something to say from my heart. It hasn't been long since I entered the palace. Now I have been promoted to the eunuch Bingbi. I have also been given a residence by the emperor. The emperor's favor is so great that I often can't sleep at night. I am always thinking about it. How can I repay the emperor? On this trip to the grassland, I received help from heaven and the emperor’s blessing. That’s why I made this meager contribution. I dare not ask for any more rewards..."

This statement made all the officials dumbfounded. They all looked at Yang Ning in a daze. Apparently they didn't expect that Yang Ning's "official language" was so sophisticated. You could tell by looking at Long Qing's expression. Yang Ning's words obviously made him very happy.

Yang Ning continued: "Furthermore, although this time I brought back the Anda envoy, the specific results of the peace talks were not reached. Therefore, I dare not ask for any reward. If the emperor insists on rewarding me for Zhao Quan's matter, then... I dare to ask the emperor to give all the rewards to my old master...Princess Yongning. If it weren't for the princess's life-saving support to the servant, how would I be today?"

"Okay." Emperor Longqing stood up and said excitedly: "Everyone, please listen. Yang Ning is young, but he is neither arrogant nor impetuous, respectful and righteous. What is even more difficult is that he can not forget his old master and appreciate his kindness. Illustrated report. It is indeed our great fortune to have such a handsome young man in our Ming Dynasty."

Next, Emperor Longqing jointly awarded the reward. For Princess Yongning's role in attracting and recommending talents, she was awarded a Ruyi jade pendant, ten East beads, and a hundred pearls. The reward was doubled every month; she was rewarded with ten palace maids from Yangning and fertile land. One hundred hectares, one hundred taels of gold, two thousand taels of silver...; Zhang Weinian and other bodyguards who accompanied Yang Ning on this trip also received different rewards, including promotions or money.

Finally able to escape from the Huangji Palace. Yang Ning breathed a deep sigh of relief. He looked at the sky. It was almost noon. He turned around and passed the back of the palace and walked straight to the direction of Funing Palace. The first thing to do when he came back was to go first. Pay a visit to Princess Yongning.

Princess Yongning, Ying'er, Xiang Zhong and others had already received the news. When they heard that he was coming, they all hurriedly came out to greet him. What surprised Yang Ning was that Zhang Cheng was also here. It seemed that during this period, this boy was actually related to Fu. Everyone in Ning Palace was familiar with each other and knew that he must be here first, so he came and waited.

"Yang Ning greets the princess." Yang Ning saluted Princess Yongning. We haven't seen her for a month. Princess Yongning has lost a lot of weight, but her face is still beautiful and her complexion is good.

"You, you are back..." Princess Yongning's eyes were shining with joy. But after saying this, she didn't know what to say anymore.

After this period of training, Xiang Zhong obviously made great progress. He happily let Yang Ning into the palace.

Everyone sat down in the Nuan Pavilion. Yang Ning told Princess Yongning and others the process of the trip to the grassland. The twists and turns and thrilling process shocked everyone, especially Princess Yongning. Of course, the ambiguous experience related to Nuo Min Yang Ning did not say anything about kidnapping Zhao Quan to go to Daqing Mountain to retrieve the treasure.

It wasn't until Yang Ning finished speaking that Princess Yongning said with lingering fear: "Yang Ning, I really didn't expect that your trip to the grassland this time would be more dangerous than the last time you suppressed the rebellion in Ningxia. From now on, you must never leave the capital again. If anything happens... ….What should we do?”

"It's okay, princess. It's not like you don't know. I'm a lucky person with great fortune. How can I die so easily?" Yang Ning pretended to be relaxed.

"By the way. Brother Ning, why don't you see Xiao Lezi?" Zhang Cheng interrupted and asked.

"Oh. I sent him to do other things. He will return to the capital later." Yang Ning said lightly.

"Princess, I went out this time. I brought you some gifts... Well, Chengzi. Zhongzi, please leave first. Ying'er will stay for a while." Yang Ning casually ordered. It seemed that he had become The owner of Funing Palace, and the real owner of Funing Palace, didn't feel anything was wrong at all. He just followed Yang Ning's tone and said: "Zhongzi, go and pass a table of royal meals. I want to clean up the dust for Eunuch Yang." .Let’s keep company together.”

Zhang Cheng and Xiang Zhong agreed, turned around and went out.

Yang Ning then smiled playfully at Ying'er and said, "Girl Ying'er. It's only been a month since I last saw you. You are so beautiful again."

"Humph. You have some sense. Why did you ask me to stay?" Ying'er said unceremoniously. Her eyes rolled around Yang Ning. She was obviously looking forward to it. Although Yang Ning was sitting more and more. The taller he gets. But Ying'er has always been used to playing with him. It has never become unnatural.

"Hey. Seeing that you have always been loyal to our princess and served us wholeheartedly...here. This is for you." Yang Ning took out the brown agate stone bracelet that he had prepared. It was selected from Zhao Quan's treasures and prepared for Ying'er.

When Yang Ning broke up with Xiao Lezi, he took all the gifts he had chosen for the girls and kept them for himself. Only the two ox bone sword pendants were still kept by Xiao Lezi.

"Wow. It's so beautiful." Ying'er grabbed the agate stone bracelet and cheered happily. She looked at it carefully with excitement and couldn't put it down.

"What do you think? Like it." Yang Ning looked at Ying'er who looked like a little daughter in a funny way.

"Yes. It's very beautiful. I like it very much. But... it seems a little too expensive." Ying'er glanced at Princess Yongning and said with some uneasiness.

Princess Yongning smiled and said: "This is Yang Ning's intention. If you like it, accept it. It's not in vain that you remember him and talk about him."

"Ha. I obey the princess's order." Ying'er happily agreed. But then she said with a bit of a smirk: "If this slave can get this precious agate bracelet because of chanting Yang Ning a few times, then the princess will worry about it every day. Talk about him. Isn’t it time to get the most precious gift?"

Yang Ning's heart skipped a beat. She glanced at Princess Yongning subconsciously. Princess Yongning's face suddenly turned red. She stood up and stamped her feet and said, "Damn girl. You're not big or small. I'll let you talk nonsense. See if I don't tear your mouth apart." ." After saying that, she made a gesture and rushed towards Ying'er. She was very agile.

"Ah, please forgive me, princess. I don't dare to tell the truth anymore." Ying'er shouted exaggeratedly. She jumped up and down, picked up the door curtain and ran out, leaving behind a string of clear laughter like silver bells.
