Pure Yang Sword Sovereign

Chapter 1: A Jinling Boy
The ancient city of Jinling, resting on the Lingjiang River and controlling Chu Mountain, with dragons and tigers, has the air of an emperor. In history, it was the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties.Emperor Taizu, the founding father of the Ming Dynasty today, also made his capital here when he ascended the throne.At that time, the prince died early, leaving only one emperor's grandson, who was favored by the emperor and was established as the crown prince.

Emperor Wen Yu Taizu was gentle and elegant when he was in Taizu. When Taizu passed away and first succeeded to the throne, he showed his sharpness.Before Taizu was alive, he divided up his sons and heirs as vassal kings in various places. Emperor Wen thought that this system of vassal kings was really a disadvantage of the Ming Dynasty, so he followed the advice of several scholars and set out to abolish the vassals. uncle.The so-called death of the rabbit and the sorrow of the fox, how could the fourth son of the Taizu Emperor be willing to repeat the same mistakes after seeing his brother end up like this?He raised the flag and rebelled in Tianjing City, where he lived.

Those four princes were the most brave and good at fighting among all the princes, and their soldiers were like a cloud. This resolutely raised an army, and the situation was like a broken bamboo. Coupled with several vassal kings waving their flags to cheer, in just a few years, the country changed hands.When Emperor Wen reached such a point, he could only sigh, set fire to the imperial city in the middle of the night, and disappeared.

Using uncles to defeat nephews, and ministers to usurp the emperor are often not tolerated by the heaven and earth, but after the fourth prince came to the throne, he was generous and virtuous, recruited talents, and was named Chengzu. He reigned for thirty years and established the foundation of the Ming Dynasty , become the master of a generation of ZTE, isn't it an odd number?From the perspective of historians of later generations, they can only sigh and leave it to luck.

When Emperor Chengzu came to the throne, he simply moved the capital to Tianjing because he was afraid that the old officials in Jinling would not bow their heads and submit, and he was not used to the southern climate, and only made Jinling the old capital.Now it is the 13th year of Tianxing, Emperor Hui is in power, and it has been a thousand years since Taizu founded the Great Ming Dynasty.Although Jinling City is no longer the dignity of the national capital, it guards the hub of the Lingjiang waterway and has a rich climate. It is still a city second only to Tianjing in the Ming Dynasty, and it inherits from the Taizu. Like Tianjing, it also has six divisions , but it is far worse when it comes to authority.

In the east of Jinling City, go all the way along the Zhengzhong Road. When you reach the end, you can see a huge house with a towering gate, painted with red paint. The huge stone lion in front of the gate and the copper nails the size of a SH bowl all show that The owner of this courtyard is rich and luxurious.

The family's surname is Ling, and they are the richest man in Jinling City.At this time, there were two servants standing listlessly in front of the gate guarding the gate.Suddenly the door opened, and two people walked out from it.In front of the head is a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy, with red lips and white teeth, and a pair of eyes that are full of energy and spirituality.Behind him was an old man with gray hair, his steps were steady, and his red face was calm and pretentious.

The two servants hurriedly bowed and shouted at the same time: "Second Young Master, Manager Wang!" The young man was Ling Chong, the second young master of the Ling family, and the old man behind him was Wang Chao, the manager of the Ling family.Ling Chong smiled and said hello, Wang Chao glanced at the faces of the two of them, and said in a deep voice: "The second young master is going to play outside the city, hurry up and bring the horse here!" The two took orders and hurried to the house go.

Ling Chong smiled and said, "Uncle Wang, I just took the horse by myself, why should I ask them to take it?" Wang Chao said, "I don't know, these two new boys are very tired, and they usually go one step further. I also refused to go on the road, and I told them to lead the horses, just to temper their temper." Ling Chong laughed and didn't ask any more questions.After a while, the horses neighed, and the two servants led two tall horses and ran over, sweating profusely.

Ling Chong took the reins, saying hard work!Turning on the horse, the posture is very light and skillful.Chao Chao also got on his horse, and said coldly: "You two are guarding the door, don't be negligent. Although the master is lenient, you must know that Wang Chao doesn't rub the sand in his eyes!" The two servants smiled wryly and bowed, repeatedly responding to orders.The two urged their horses and went straight out of the city.

The two servants closed the gate and looked at the dusty shadows and flying sand. One of them yelled and cursed: "Damn it, you dog slave, how dare you make fun of me!" The other shouted: "Shut up! You forgot our Is there a mission!" The man's expression changed, and he said in a low voice: "Brother, we two brothers will not do it, but come to Ling's mansion to be servants, don't you feel aggrieved?"

The other person snorted: "Am I so short-sighted like you! Tell you, the prince sent me two to monitor the Ling mansion, so you have to restrain yourself, don't show your flaws, or I will end up with you before the prince punishes you!" You!" The man shrank his neck in fright and dared not speak anymore.

Ling Chong and Wang Chao rode out of the city all the way and headed straight for Chu Mountain.The dynasty was a little behind, looking at Ling Chong's small face with excitement, he sighed secretly: "The master is upright, and he doesn't know the cunning of the world. The second young master has never had an accident. How would he know that the two of them were actually sent by someone else?" The secret work here is only to find out what's going on in the Ling family. My dynasty has been greatly favored by the Ling family, so how can we not go through fire and water for it? That's all! No matter what, we can't let those two succeed and ruin the huge foundation of the Ling family!"

This dynasty is really a stranger, with unique skills, who accidentally fell into trouble and was rescued by the old lady of the Ling family. He has stayed in the Ling family since then, and has always been loyal.Mrs. Ling started as a lowly servant and ran merchants, but in the past few decades, he accumulated a large family business, but he had no luck to enjoy it. However, he died in his fifties, leaving only his only son, Ling Zhen.

From the point of view of the general plot, this young master Ling Zhen either inherits his father's business and supports the family business, or he is a dandy who ruins his family property and becomes a rogue wandering in the rivers and lakes, but this young master Ling is really impressive He fell through the glasses, and he didn't have any talent for business since he was a child. The only thing is that he is very good at reading.However, at the age of ten, he won the first place in the scholar list. After that, he overcame obstacles all the way, the provincial examination, general examination, palace examination, and finally was handpicked by Yubi as the second place in the new subject, only below the champion.

Young Master Ling is now in his forties. He has a prosperous official career, is an upright official, and has been promoted all the way until he reached the official title of Minister of Rites from the second rank. After that, he saw through the officialdom and had no intention of making progress. He just wanted to guard his widowed mother, wife and children for the rest of his life. , so he informed the emperor, returned to his hometown Jinling, and was still a servant of the Ministry of Rites, but compared with Tianjing, his power was far worse than that of Tianjing, but this Young Master Ling enjoyed it so much that he wrote poems and painted paintings every day, and served his mother. Very freehand.When the people in Jinling City mentioned this Master Ling, they would all give a thumbs up and say hello.Rich and powerful, but not arrogant, he is really a rare honest official.

When he was young, he was ordered by his father to marry a lady from the county magistrate's family, but after the lady got married for three consecutive years, her stomach didn't even move, which made the old couple very anxious. At that time, the old lady Ling proposed several times to take a concubine for her son to carry on the Ling family lineage, but Ling Zhen still had some love for his wife and insisted on refusing.The old lady Ren Ling used all kinds of means, but she couldn't change her son's mind.

This year, when Ling Zhen was 30 years old, Master Ling passed away. After the family mourned, they finished the funeral arrangements.The old lady Ling repeated the old story, but she just lowered her head and wiped her tears, saying that you are an unfilial descendant who refuses to listen to my advice and take a concubine, so that your father didn't even see his grandson when he left. people wait.This time Ling Zhen panicked, Ling's mother hit the iron while the iron was hot, entrusted a beautiful and virtuous woman from a good family, and she really found an eighteen-year-old beauty.
