I was the emperor in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 128 The Minister of Dragon and Tiger
The early court, which was supposed to end long ago, had to be extended because of Zhou Mingli's words.At an unknown time outside the hall, it suddenly began to rain lightly.

It's already autumn, and autumn is already full of vibes. When it rains lightly, the damp air suddenly rises.

The sky was submerged in the rain, and the empty Chengtian Hall was completely dark. Jiang Bao had good eyesight, and hurriedly arranged for the eunuchs to light the lamps.

Dozens of arm-thick red candles were lit, and the dark hall instantly lit up, reflecting the red faces of all the ministers.

It has been half an hour since Kong Yanjin's long speech, not to mention Li Tian, ​​even Tang Zonghe, who asked for Kong Yanjin to enter the palace, has a somewhat sullen expression on his face.

As time passed by, Kong Yanjin became more excited as he talked, and the spitting stars everywhere were comparable to the light rain outside the hall.

"Kong Jijiu, I know you are a sage, and you have become more literary and knowledgeable, so you don't have to memorize the classics and history collections with me."

Kong Yanjin's face froze when he heard the words, the hand holding his beard froze in the air, he pursed his lips twice and said in dissatisfaction:
"Your Majesty, the old minister's words are all from the bottom of his heart, how could he be memorizing ancient prose in vain."

"Then go ahead, I'm all ears."

"The old minister obeys the order."

After finishing speaking, Kong Yanjin continued to chatter, as if he wanted to make up for the limelight that was lost at the palace banquet that day.

Another half an hour passed, and Kong Yanjin still had no intention of stopping. Many ministers who hadn't eaten breakfast were already starving, and began to complain in their hearts.

At this time, there was still damp and cold wind blowing outside the hall, cold and hungry, and the faces of the ministers standing behind were already angry.

The morning court was delayed, and Kong Yanjin chattered for an hour. Did he want them to have breakfast and lunch together?
Li Tian sat high and looked far away, and he could see the angry faces of the ministers in the back row.

Secretly happy in his heart, Li Tian changed his comfortable posture, beckoned to Jiang Bao and said in a low voice:

"Have someone go and open the door of the temple wider."

The door of the palace opened a crack unknowingly, and more ministers were shrouded in the cold wind, but after a while, someone stood up with frowning:

"Your Majesty, I have something to report."

When Kong Yanjin was interrupted, his expression darkened immediately, and he was about to get angry, but when he saw the person who stood up wearing the imperial official robe, he suppressed his anger with cold eyes.

The censors are all friends of his old Confucius, so it is better not to offend unless it is absolutely necessary.

Finally, the voice was changed, and the ministers of the whole court cheered up, and cast grateful glances at the censor who stood up.

Li Tian felt a lot more relieved when he heard the sound, and when he looked up, he saw a young censor with a square face and a strong nose waiting for him to speak.

"Come on."

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I want to impeach Kong Yanjin, who sacrificed wine to the Imperial Academy, for leaving his post without permission, and eating a vegetarian meal in his corpse."

As soon as the young censor said these words, all the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty were shocked.

Who is Kong Yanjin? After Kong Sheng, scholars respected teachers.Moreover, the censor Yanguan and Shilin Qingliu always wear a pair of trousers.

What is the situation now, the flood has washed the Dragon King Temple, and the family does not know the family?

Kong Yanjin did not expect that the censor who stood up would impeach him, and immediately said angrily:

"Who are you to impeach this old man!"

The young censor was not intimidated by Kong Yanjin at all, his face straightened, and he said loudly:
"My official is Yu Jie'an, the seventh-rank supervisory censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Dare I ask Master Kong for advice!"

Yu Jie'an?
Li Tian's complexion paused when he heard the words, and then he was overjoyed.

I was so busy reforming myself that I was so stupid that I didn't even notice the big Buddha in the court hall.

Who is Yu Jie'an? 25 years later, the minister of pillars who saved Daming from its downfall!
Together with Yue Fei and Zhang Huangyan, they are also known as the "Three Heroes of the West Lake", and their influence and achievements can even compete with Zhang Juzheng, who continued his life for the Ming Dynasty for 200 years.

After Ming Yingzong was captured in the civil fort change, he guarded the capital with his own strength, and won the battle to defend the capital with a group of militia and grain soldiers.

Grand Master Wala had to release Ming Yingzong and pulled the Ming Dynasty back from the cliff of Jingkang's shame.

Of course, another name of Yu Jie'an may be more familiar to later generations.

When he came back to his senses, Li Tian sat up from the dragon chair in a panic, walked down the steps with big strides, and said anxiously:
"Who do you say you are?"

Civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were taken aback by Li Tian's actions. How could the emperor be in such a hurry? Could it be that this young censor is the emperor's illegitimate son?
Yu Jie'an was equally astonished, and hurriedly bowed and said:
"Your Majesty, my minister Yu Jie'an, Xin Chou Ke Jinshi in the 19th year of Yongle, his ancestral home is Qiantang, Hangzhou, and his grandfather once served as the head of the Ministry of Industry during the Hongwu period."

That's right, Yongle became an official in 19 years, a native of Qiantang, Hangzhou, this is the famous Yu Qian in history!

"Yu Aiqing please get up quickly."

Li Tian smiled brightly, and said in an extremely soft tone.

Erzhang Yu Jie'an couldn't figure it out, he had only been an official for three years, and his ancestors had no high-ranking officials, why did the emperor seem to be very familiar with him.

Turning around and sitting back on the dragon chair again, Li Tian didn't make any explanation, and looked at Kong Yanjin with a sudden face change and said:
"Impeachment by the censor, regardless of rank, requires suspension and investigation. Kong Jijiu, you can stay in the mansion and wait for the investigation after you go down to court."

Kong Yanjin was sweating from anxiety. He had been standing here for more than an hour, just to be able to go to the Imperial College to be on duty with pride. What is this?
"Your Majesty, I have learned from you. The old minister has been working hard for more than [-] years. When did he neglect his duties and when did he eat a vegetarian meal?"

Before Li Tian could make a sound, Yu Jie'an stepped forward a few more steps, faced Kong Yanjin and said:

"Master Kong, I want to ask you, have you ever been on duty at the Imperial College in the past few days?"

Kong Yanjin's expression darkened when he heard the words, and he was so angry that he wanted to tear Yu Jie'an's mouth off. After the palace banquet, he waited for the emperor to bow his head, how could he go to the Imperial College to work as a servant.

Seeing that Kong Yanjin had nothing to say, Li Tian secretly laughed, and followed Yu Jie'an's words:
"Kong Yanjin, is what Yu Yushi said true?"

If civil servants and military generals impeach him, Kong Yanjin has all kinds of excuses.

But Kong Yanjin really had nothing to do with impeachment by the censor, and his thoughts changed rapidly, so he could only quibble in panic:

"Your Majesty, the old minister was only unwell a few days ago, and he definitely didn't intend to leave his post."

Li Tian snorted noncommittally, ignored Kong Yanjin, waved his hands and said indifferently:

"Come here, send Kong Aiqing to the imperial hospital for treatment."

"Your Majesty, the old minister was only sick a few days ago, and he is not feeling well now."

Li Tiancai didn't care so much, Yu Jie'an had already handed the knife to him, so a fool would let Kong Yanjin go.

"Kong Aiqing, you are a saint, how can I let you lose, come, send Kong Aiqing to the imperial hospital immediately."

The emperor said it twice with a straight face, and the Jinwu guards in front of the imperial court did not dare not respond any more, bowed to Li Tian, ​​and Kong Yanjin, who was full of mouth and shouted His Majesty, left the hall.
