The Ming Dynasty started with caution

The eyes of all officials fell on Yan Chengjin.

Xiao Jing raised his head slightly and saw that Emperor Hongzhi looked normal. His Majesty was often the most terrifying at this time. Yan Chengjin's flattery was about to hit the donkey's hoof.

Yan Chengjin thought about it carefully and pondered it carefully.

"The country ruled by the saint is not a real country. This is a clever metaphor."

He wanted to throw the pot to Emperor Hongzhi, but His Majesty was a smart man.

Picking him into the debate would make him unhappy.

Jiao Fang stood up and said coldly: "Since it is a clever metaphor, it means that this is the saint's imagination and there is no basis. If so, what qualifications do you have to talk big here.

Things that cannot be put into practice, won't it mislead the prince?"

Are you going to debate with me? Yan Chengjin thought carefully: "Although the saint has never ruled a country, he knows how to rule a country. Otherwise, how can he dare to become a saint?"

Jiao Fang pulled his mouth and smiled slightly: "What Lord Yan said has many shortcomings. As far as I know, this person cannot be called a saint."

"I never said he was a saint, but the person he said was a saint." Yan Chengjin said.

Seeing that Jiao Fang was still trying to refute, Zhu Houzhao said happily: "Master Jiao doesn't even understand such a simple truth. Don't give me a lecture in the future."

Jiao Fang's old face blushed slightly, but he didn't dare to get angry because of Emperor Hongzhi behind him.

Emperor Hongzhi stepped into the hall and read Yan Chengjin's lecture notes.

"Although it is inappropriate, Mr. Yan's family's views on economy are the same as mine."

Xie Qian and others bowed and saluted.

Yan Chengjin's heart was tense. His Majesty liked to say the opposite the most, but he didn't know who he would stand on.

It would be better to send Jiao Fang to Hainan.

Emperor Hongzhi continued, "The emperor must have loyal ministers, and the superior must have humble subordinates. Only when the debate is delayed can the court be stable and long-lasting. The Jiao family and the Yan family don't need to fight."

He looked at Zhu Houzhao again. This boy was so arrogant.

Before he could scold him, the eunuch came to report, "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother wants to see you!"

Emperor Hongzhi did not move, but asked, "Why do you want to see me?"

"I heard that it was Prince Xing who sent an urgent memorial to the capital and presented it to the Queen Mother." The eunuch said.

Yan Chengjin estimated that it should be Prince Xing's memorial to ask for a change of land.

What was supposed to come still came.

Emperor Hongzhi took a deep breath, looked at Xie Qian and Yan Chengjin, and said, "You two, come with me to Renshou Palace."

When Yan Chengjin followed Emperor Hongzhi to Renshou Palace.

The Queen Mother was sitting on the Luohan couch, holding a memorial in her hand, and she was not in a good mood.

"Grandmother summoned me, but she missed Prince Shou. Wang Ji went to Shu, and there is no news yet." Emperor Hongzhi smiled.

Your Majesty's acting skills are old-timers.

Yan Chengjin marveled at the side, and secretly pondered and wrote it down.

The Empress Dowager sighed: "I heard that the flood in Anlu Prefecture broke the dike, and the people hid on the boats and survived?"

"It is true."

Emperor Hongzhi did not avoid it at all, and said solemnly.

Empress Dowager Zhou shook her head: "I shouldn't be involved in the affairs of the court, but Youlu is also the flesh and blood of the late emperor. At the beginning, your father and the officials wanted to make him the prince, and I protected you, but now... I always feel sorry for him."

This grandson has been smart since he was a child, and he is more likable than Emperor Hongzhi.

Empress Dowager Zhou remembered that Emperor Hongzhi was always polite when he met people, and Youlu was praised by everyone from court officials to palace maids.

Yan Chengjin could understand, as both sides of the hand are made of flesh.

The Queen Mother Zhou should have the same feelings towards Prince Xing as the Emperor Hongzhi.

Emperor Hongzhi seemed extremely embarrassed, and was slightly angry with Prince Xing, so he sent the memorial to Renshou Palace.

"Mr. Yan, I heard you say that there is a way to cure the Han River in science, you can talk to the Queen Mother about it."

Yan Chengjin nodded: "Queen Mother, I ordered Xie Pi to dig twelve waterways in the Han River. After the completion of these twelve waterways, the flood in Anlu Prefecture may be resolved."

Xie Qian was a little worried. If he couldn't cure it, the Queen Mother would ask her son to blame.

"I think it's not too late to make a conclusion after the completion."

The Queen Mother let out a long sigh: "The flood has been repeatedly cured, you might as well change the fiefdom for Prince Xing."

Emperor Hongzhi couldn't answer.

How to answer this? He looked at Yan Chengjin, this boy always has ideas.

Yan Chengjin is thinking of a way for Emperor Hongzhi.

At this time, the eunuch Zhao Ji, who was in charge of Renshou Palace, walked in: "Eunuch Xiao has something important to ask for."

Xiao Jing was outside the palace gate, holding Xie Pi's memorial in his hand. He had been in the palace for a long time and knew that Your Majesty would be embarrassed in front of the Queen Mother.

With Xie Pi's memorial, no matter how wronged Prince Xing was, he could not defend himself.

Seeing the eunuch come out to announce, Xiao Jing hurried into the palace, "Your Majesty, Xie Pi sent back an urgent memorial."

Xie Qian looked up suddenly. Although he didn't know what the memorial was about, he was satisfied when he heard his son's name at this time. It was good to be alive.

Emperor Hongzhi opened it and took a look. His face darkened unconsciously, "Prince Xing disregarded the lives of the people, which really chilled me. With such a narrow mind, how can I hand over the territory of the Ming Dynasty to him?"

Yan Chengjin was a little confused.

Did Prince Xing kill people and set fire? However, Xie Pi was not pushed into the Han River by Zhu Youlang.

Seeing the emperor so angry, the empress dowager was surprised: "Did Youlu commit a crime in Anlu Prefecture?"

Emperor Hongzhi handed the urgent report to Xiao Jing: "Read it to the empress dowager, and let Xie Qing's family and Yan Qing's family listen to it too."

Xiao Jing nodded in response and read it in a hoarse voice.

…………Ammunition and food are exhausted, and the warehouse of Prince Xing's mansion is full. I begged Prince Xing to open the warehouse three times but he refused. I had no choice but to submit a petition... Yan Chengjin knew Prince Xing's temper when he heard this.

It was really too anxious.

Emperor Hongzhi was overjoyed. Xie Pi came with this memorial to help him solve his urgent problem: "Prince Xing did everything to change his fiefdom, which disappointed me very much.

Even if I don't want to care about him, I can't ignore the people of Anlu Prefecture.

Wang Qiong has sent grain south, and Xie Pi has built a canal. The flood in Anlu Prefecture can be solved. What do you think, Mr. Yan?"

Yan Chengjin bowed slightly: "I think maybe..."

It can only solve most of it. If you encounter a super large cup, there is no way to solve it no matter how many canals there are.

Empress Dowager Zhou sighed and said: "Your Majesty will deal with it. If there is another memorial from Prince Xing, send it to Fengtian Palace. I will not read it."

She was inevitably biased and let Emperor Hongzhi deal with it.

It was the most correct decision.

Xie Pi and Yan Chengjin bowed slightly and said, "The Queen Mother is wise!"

After leaving Renshou Palace,

Xie Qian kept muttering, "What should I do? What should I do!"

"Why is the Lord so nervous?"

Xie Qian didn't want to talk to Yan Chengjin. Originally, it was just His Majesty, but now even the Queen Mother is paying attention to my son's flood control.

If the control is good, there is no need to say more. If it is not good, Queen Mother Zhou and His Majesty will blame it.

"Give me a definite answer. When will it be completed?"

"One year at the shortest and three years at the longest. I can't say for sure."

When Yan Chengjin returned to the duty room, it was almost time to go off duty.

He flipped through Jiao Fang's family files and ordered someone to call Wang Yue to go off duty together.

Today, at the imperial lecture, I accidentally provoked a conflict with Jiao Fang. It's better to be careful.

Wang Yue was in high spirits and asked with a smile, "Who wants to kill my nephew this time?"

He carried two quivers on his back and two green steel swords on his waist. The number of weapons was twice as much as usual.

Yan Chengjin said, "I'm just on my way back home. Don't worry, Lord Wang."

It seems that this sedan chair also needs to be upgraded to a fireproof version.

At this time, outside the gate of Yan's mansion.

Jiao Fang looked at Yan's mansion. There was not even a plaque. Isn't it too shabby? "Does Yan Chengjin live in this courtyard?"

"I have asked several times, but I didn't find Yan Chengjin. However, this is the mansion of Anding Hou." The housekeeper said hurriedly.
