The Ming Dynasty started with caution

After the court was dismissed, all officials slowly left the Fengtian Hall.

Li Dongyang was still standing in the hall. The Japanese pirates were invading the southeastern coast and slaughtering everyone they saw.

Although he had not experienced the scene of the Japanese pirates' massacre.

But looking at the memorial of the Southeast Provincial Surveillance Commissioner, he could imagine what a miserable scene it was.

"Your Majesty, in the eleventh year of Hongzhi, my brother Li Dongming passed away and entrusted Zhaofan to me. If Zhaofan is in danger, I will explain to my brother."

Li Dongyang said with a thick face: "I am willing to fight the Japanese islands on behalf of the court."

"Master Li will not go to this extent. I sent Datong Deputy General Zhao Xishu to guard Li Zhaofan, and there will be no mistakes."

Emperor Hongzhi knew that Datong Deputy General Zhao Xishu was brave and good at fighting.

Seeing that his request to beg for money was unsuccessful, Li Dongyang had already prepared to perish together with his enemies: "Your Majesty, the amount of silver to be collected this time is so large that an imperial censor must be sent with you. Yan Chengjin is the only one in the court who does not steal the silver!"

Based on his understanding of Yan Chengjin, this boy has many ways to survive.

If Yan Chengjin can survive, my son Zhaofan can survive.

If he dies...

Just treat this disciple as if he never existed.

Emperor Hongzhi felt that such a large amount of silver needed to be monitored by an imperial censor.

"Has Yan Chengjin gone far?"

Xiao Jing said happily: "He should have just reached Jinshui Bridge. I will chase him now!"

Jinshui Bridge,

Yan Chengjin looked at the palace door from time to time and wondered, what did Li Dongyang say to Your Majesty when he stayed in the palace?

This time, I am afraid that he really offended Li Dongyang.

Li Zhaofan is Li Dongming's only child.

The Japanese during this period were extremely difficult to deal with. After the famous Onin War (in elementary school textbooks), the island country gradually entered the Warring States Period.

The Japanese began to pay attention to martial arts. Only by becoming a warrior in the daimyo mansion could they make a living.

Just like the imperial examination in the Ming Dynasty, the Japanese's individual force was stronger than the Ming soldiers.

Xiao Jing walked up quickly and said with a smile: "Lord Yan, His Majesty asked you to come to Fengtian Hall."

"Why is Eunuch Xiao gloating over other people's misfortunes? I am going to be unlucky?"

"Hehe, I dare not say more. You will know when you go to Fengtian Hall."

Yan Chengjin returned to Fengtian Hall and saw that Li Dongyang's eyes were red and he looked at him.

Before he could speak, Emperor Hongzhi took the lead: "The number of silver mines is so large that an imperial censor needs to be sent to supervise. Li Qing's family recommends you."

"Your Majesty, I am in poor health and I am afraid I cannot leave Beijing."

Li Dongyang spitted out his saliva and looked excited: "You can run around the yard every day. What's wrong with you? Let me see!"

I have known you for four years. What do you look like?

Emperor Hongzhi also knew that Yan Chengjin was a cautious person and did not dare to leave the capital.

Illness was just an excuse, and he did not expose it.

Yan Chengjin could only hope that Fang Xue would return to Beijing quickly: "Your Majesty, I will recommend another person."

"Supervisory people cannot be recommended at will. The whole court must agree that he will not be greedy and will not be unfair. Don't even think about recommending others." Li Dongyang said indifferently.

There is such a person in the court, that is Yan Chengjin.

All the ministers know that this guy is timid and dare not be greedy.

Emperor Hongzhi nodded solemnly: "The character of Yan Qing's family is deeply loved by me."

Yan Chengjin hurriedly said: "Within two days, I will recommend someone to your majesty."

Emperor Hongzhi and Li Dongyang looked at each other.

Half an hour later, Yan Chengjin came out of the hall.

"Lord Mou, where is Fang Xue?"

After the memorial was sent back, Fang Xue had no news, and the Jinyiwei might have news.

Mou Bin whispered: "Still in Shu, we have to wait for the imperial decree to reach the southwest before we can return to Beijing."

It took a month for the imperial decree to reach Shu, and two days was not enough.

Yan Chengjin thought of Wang Shouren, so he waited for Wang to get off duty at the Meridian Gate.

Wang Shouren saw Yan Chengjin and bowed: "Brother Gao, are you waiting for me?"

Yan Chengjin got on the sedan chair: "Bo'an, I have something to tell you."

Another way is for Wang Shouren to recommend himself and replace the position of military supervisor.

Wang Shouren is deeply trusted by Emperor Hongzhi and can also be a military supervisor.

After hearing this, Wang Shouren shook his head: "My father went to Fangshan to buy a cemetery for himself and wanted to commit suicide. I am afraid that I can't leave the capital during this period of time."

Filial piety comes first.

In addition, he guessed that the court sent Brother Gao, but Brother Gao did not go, so he recommended him.

With Brother Gao's talent, he can pacify the mining island and there is no need to worry about no one in the court.

Yan Chengjin secretly spat at Wang Hua. A dignified young scholar, the emperor's teacher, actually used such a vulgar method.

Who will be recommended in two days?

At this moment, a strong and fierce shout rang out.

"You are a second-rank official in the court. How can you sit in such a broken sedan chair!"

He Neng shouted: "My young master likes to sit in a broken sedan chair. Go away, don't mind your own business!"

"The person in the sedan chair is Yan Chengjin?"

How could anyone know his rank and name? Danger! Yan Chengjin slightly lifted the curtain of the sedan chair.

I saw an old man in a Confucian robe and a scarf standing in front of the sedan chair. His hair was gray and he was in high spirits.

He had a sense of immortality with his gray hair and gray face.

"Why do you know Yan Chengjin's name?"

Before the old man could answer, Wang Shouren dismounted and bowed to the old man: "Uncle Wang has entered the capital?"

The old man put his hands behind his back, his nose turned up, and walked away as if he didn't see Wang Shouren.

Yan Chengjin dared to conclude that this old man was definitely the most arrogant guy on Qipan Street!

"Brother Bo'an, who is he?"

"Former official of the Ministry of Personnel, Lord Wang Shu."

Wang Shu, who defied the heavens, the earth, and the emperor?

This guy was very famous in the Chenghua Dynasty. He had impeached ministers in the court many times. Even if he was demoted outside the capital, he would only impeach in another place.

He can be called an old master in the impeachment world. In his impeachment hall of fame in the Censorate, there is also Wang Shu's impeachment.

No wonder this old man looks strong.

Yan Chengjin was a little puzzled: "Brother Bo'an, does Wang Shu have a son in the capital?"

"Of course, Wang Chengyu, the secretary of the Ministry of War, is the son of Uncle Wang. Why do you ask this, Brother Gao?"

"Nothing."

…………

East Warm Pavilion.

Xiao Jing smiled at him: "Your Majesty, I just got the news that Wang Shu has come to Beijing to visit his relatives."

Wang Shu has made contributions to the court. In addition to Huai En, the person that Emperor Hongzhi is most grateful to is Wang Shu.

When the previous emperor wanted to abolish his position as the crown prince, Wang Shu was furious and submitted twelve impeachment letters in a row.

Emperor Hongzhi took a deep breath: "I know."

He did not plan to visit Wang Shu. The old man's temper would make him scolded for not doing his job properly.

A peaceful and peaceful world is a reward for Master Wang.

Xiao Jing said hesitantly: "Your Majesty, Wang Shu just came to Beijing and scolded Yan Chengjin, saying that the broken sedan chair he sat in brought shame to the court."

Yan Chengjin was a second-rank official, but he sat in a sixth-rank sedan chair.

Emperor Hongzhi knew that the sedan chair was extremely luxurious: "Master Wang is still so nosy."

...

Early in the morning, the Censorate.

Yan Chengjin came to the duty room and began to look through Wang Chengyu's family files.

Wang Chengyu was a Jinshi in the sixth year of Hongzhi. He had been serving as a secretary in the Ministry of War. Because his father impeached too many people and offended too many people, he worked for ten years without being promoted.

"He has overturned dozens of cases. He can barely be considered a talent. It's a pity not to use him."
