The Ming Dynasty started with caution

Liu Lai knew his father's temper and kept his word.

Afraid of being talked about by others, the relationship between father and son was rarely discussed in court.

Therefore, in the six departments, very few ministers knew that they had a father-son relationship.

"My son knows."

At night, Liu Jian always felt that he could not sleep well.

Didn’t the son of Brother Li and Brother Xie change his career after meeting Yan Chengjin?

And how could Yan Chengjin be so kind, impeached him, and even invited him to serve as an official in the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

Normal people wouldn't be like this either.

The next day, I came to the Metropolitan Procuratorate for room duty.

After Liu Jian sat down, he hurriedly said to Li Dongyang and Xie Qian: "Yan Chengjin is weird. Yesterday my son impeached him, and he actually asked my son to go to the Metropolitan Procuratorate to be the censor."

"You must not go!" Xie Qian said.

Li Dongyang was curious: "Why so sudden?"

"I've been thinking about it all night. After all, I was negligent. My son is ambitious and doesn't want to be an official in the Middle School." Liu Jian sighed.

After failing the exam, Liu Lai was depressed and had nowhere to go, so he chose Zhongshushe.

The Zhongshushe only writes edicts for His Majesty on weekdays, and can hardly do anything about the Jiao Zhai proclamation.

Now that Yan Chengjin asked him to go to the Metropolitan Procuratorate, he was restless.

When Liu Jian said this, Li Dongyang and Xie Qian understood.

"I'm afraid it's irreversible, but there is no shortage of officials in the Six Ministries who can serve as censors. What does Yan Chengjin want Liu Gong's son to do?" Li Dongyang was puzzled.

The three of them looked at each other and felt that Yan Chengjin was planning something.

The Metropolitan Procuratorate is on duty.

Yan Chengjin looked through the revised Ming Dynasty Rules and reviewed it again.

After Jiang and Wen's training, they were basically able to review the fourteen Taoist memorials and share his responsibilities.

At this time, the civil servant walked in quickly: "Sir, Mr. Liu is here."

Yan Chengjin looked up and saw Liu Jian, wearing a bright red python robe, walking into the duty room in a hurry.

"Mr. Liu comes to our Procuratorate..."

Liu Jian had a dark face and said anxiously: "I won't follow you around, why do you want my son to come to the Metropolitan Procuratorate?"

"Writing bullets to monitor the government and the public. Although Liu Lai failed to pass the imperial examination, he wrote bullets rigorously."

Yan Chengjin was forthright and expressed his first thoughts.

When someone praised his son, Liu Jian's face turned even darker: "You don't want to flatter me, I won't be fooled. What on earth do you want to do?!"

After years of fighting in the court, how can you not hear that they are just flattering each other?

Liu Jian was good at making judgments, and it was really hard to fool him. Yan Chengjin thought carefully for a moment: "After the establishment of the Censor's Office in the Fourteenth Road of the two capitals, more sparse memorials were sent back than before, and the quota of the Censor needed to be filled.

If Liu Lai hadn't impeached me, I wouldn't have taken a liking to his story. If Mr. Liu wants to blame him, blame him on Liu Lai. "

Liu Jian pointed at Yan Chengjin and was so angry that he couldn't speak: "You are indeed...really seeking revenge!"

As a cabinet bachelor, it was not good to slander his colleagues like this, but he couldn't help it.

But this son had nothing to impeach, and he was so angry.

Yan Chengjin shook his head: "I will not force you."

Liu Jian was so angry that he habitually picked up the tea cup, took a sip, and said angrily: "If I don't agree, you can't even think about transferring people."

The structure of the Metropolitan Procuratorate in the Ming Dynasty was simple, and what the censor did was still write bullets.

If you want the Ming Dynasty to prosper, each department must pay attention to the smallest details.

It is wise to set up four departments to take charge of important tasks like the six departments.

"How could I ruin the relationship between the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the cabinet for the sake of a member of the Central Academy of Sciences?"

spit!

I believe you, Liu Jian stood up angrily, thinking that he wouldn't say anything, so he turned around and left.

In the early morning, Liu Lai came to Yan Mansion early.

Liu Lai went to Huimin Pharmacy to get medicine. After three days of rest, his health recovered somewhat.

Looking at the door of Yan's Mansion, all the red paint is gone, revealing the black and yellow wood, and there is no door plaque.

Officials of the third rank and above would usually place stone lions in front of their houses to guard their houses, but this was not seen in the Yan Mansion.

I couldn't help but wonder, how could Yan Chengjin live in such a dilapidated courtyard when he was in a high position?

He lightly knocked on the door: "The lower official is Liu Lai from Zhongshushe. I would like to see Mr. Yan."

A voice came from inside the door: You will play thousands of rounds for me now.

Is this a code word?

Liu Lai thought for a moment, then blushed and said in shame, "I am the son of a cabinet scholar. Liu Lai, please open the door."

There was no response from the mansion gate.

At this time, Yan Chengjin was wearing soft armor and practicing the spear skills he had recently learned in the new courtyard. Although he looked like a weakling on the outside, there were still several self-defense techniques for men to learn.

The disciple came to report: "Master, there is a man outside the door who says he is Mr. Liu's son and wants to see you."

"not see."

Liu Lai waited outside the mansion for a long time and saw an old sedan parked in front of the mansion.

As soon as Yan Chengjin got on the sedan, he heard a sound outside the sedan.

"The official wants to go to the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Can Mr. Yan transfer the official?"

Liu Lai lowered his head and blushed, standing beside the sedan and bowing. He came here today precisely to ask for Yan Chengjin.

As Jiuqing, Yan Chengjin should be able to mobilize someone from Zhongshushe.

I heard a voice coming from the sedan: "Mr. Liu came to the Procuratorate yesterday. I am not allowed to transfer you. Go back."

"But... I'm obviously an adult and want to be demoted to the Metropolitan Procuratorate." Liu Lai raised his head slightly and asked unwillingly: "What should I do if my lord wants to be demoted?"

Yan Chengjin handed out a piece of paper from the sedan curtain: "You recommend yourself, and I will give you a good word in front of the emperor."

Liu Lai's face was stiff, he could not imagine such a thing, but he quickly wrote down his determination and ambition on the paper.

Behind the Meridian Gate, there is the Guangting,

Emperor Hongzhi wore golden robes and got up to practice in the morning.

When Yan Chengjin arrived, he ran through the moon hole of the Meridian Gate and just happened to be in time.

"Your Majesty, Liu Lai recommended himself to be transferred to the Censorate."

Xiao Jing took the paper. Emperor Hongzhi was puzzled. Liu Lai had just impeached Yan Chengjin a few days ago, so why would he be willing to go to the Censorate.

The Secretary of the Central Secretariat was a seventh-rank official, while the Censor was a seventh-rank official. He was promoted after being transferred.

Although he is Liu Jian's son, I cannot be partial to him.

Seeing Emperor Hongzhi hesitate, Yan Chengjin carefully considered and said:

"I have read Liu Lai's previous articles. They are very well written, but they are not in line with the eight-part essay, so he failed the exam. If he is in the Central Secretariat, it would be a waste of talent."

There is only one thing that can make Your Majesty selfishly confer an imperial title.

That is talent!

For this reason, Your Majesty can even re-employ Liu Ji and Wang Yue, let alone Liu Lai.

Yan Chengjin pulled out a stack of white paper from his sleeve. This was the collection of Liu Lai's articles over the past three days.

Emperor Hongzhi read ten lines at a glance, and there was a hint of approval between his eyebrows.

"Well written."

Xiao Jing glanced at Yan Chengjin and whispered, "Your Majesty, Mr. Liu seems unwilling to transfer Liu Lai to the Censorate."

As the head of the East Factory, he naturally had to report all the dynamics to His Majesty so that His Majesty could make a decision.

Yan Chengjin's eyes turned slightly and he looked at Xiao Jing deeply.

Eunuch, you are getting more and more naughty. Do you want to go to Africa to see the savannah?

Emperor Hongzhi put the note away: "I will consider it myself."

After returning from Guangting, he changed into his crown and came to the Huagai Palace and ordered someone to summon Liu Jian.

"Yan Chengjin presented this to me just now. Can you take a look, Mr. Liu?"

After reading it, Liu Jian hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, this must be a trick by Yan Chengjin to deceive my son."

"I think so too."

Before Liu Jian could be happy for too long, Emperor Hongzhi handed Xiao Jing another booklet: "Mr. Liu, take a look. Is this the article written by Liu Lai?"

After a moment, Liu Jian had a bad feeling: "Yes."

"I think it's a waste of talent to stay in the Zhongshushe to copy the treasure book and imperial edicts. What do you think, Mr. Liu?"

Liu Jian's old face twitched fiercely, and he wanted to curse.

It's exactly the same as the harm to Wang Shouren and Li Zhaofan!

At the beginning of the month, please P
