The Ming Dynasty started with caution

Yan Chengjin did not expect that Yang Baocheng, the leader of Hanlin's three admonitions, would come to him on this day. There was a word "bao" in the Hanlin's name, so he rudely called him Dabao admonishment.

Dabao Jian said with a smile: "There is an impeachment memorial that I want to give to you. You have been practicing the impeachment memorial for a long time, so why not write one today? Write it quickly and don't let others snatch it away."

It was very common in the Ming Dynasty to let others write the impeachment memorial. Generally, when a certain official was to be jointly impeached, the person with the best writing skills would be the main writer.

Yan Chengjin was on guard. No matter which eye he looked at, he was not the best writer.

"Who do you want to impeach?"

"Cabinet Bachelor, Li Dongyang!" Dabaojian said with a smile.

really……

Yan Chengjin was dumbfounded.

Although it is said that officials can impeach even the emperor, Li Dongyang, a political strategist who was delayed by the peaceful and prosperous times, is only a little less eloquent than Xie Qian.

If you impeach Li Dongyang, isn't this the birthday man hanging himself because he is too long-lived?

Before Yan Chengjin could react, Dabao Jian said with a smile: "Liu Jian, the first assistant in the cabinet, and Xie Qian, the third assistant in the cabinet, are also impeached."

Do you still want to destroy the cabinet?

Do I look like a fool? Will I help you write the story?

However, Hanlin's three remonstrances have always been well informed. If the cabinet's three remonstrances are impeached together, something big must have happened.

Yan Chengjin thought for a while and calmed down: "I wonder, sir, why do you want to impeach the three ministers of the cabinet?"

Dabaojian angrily said: "Three people in the cabinet are scorning human lives! The Jurchens of Jianzhou requested to trade with our dynasty and return the captives, but three people in the cabinet advised your majesty that no trade should be allowed. Tell me, aren't those Han prisoners' lives being scorned? Isn't this scorning human lives?" What is it? Don’t worry about writing this memorial, and I will co-sign it with you."

The reason why Yang Baocheng chose Yan Chengjin as the main writer is not because of his good writing skills, but simply because this boy has been in the limelight recently and is the number one scholar. Even if his writing skills are not good, it is not too bad.

Yan Chengjin thought deeply.

Jianzhou Jurchen?

Jianzhou is actually the name of a tribe. In the early Ming Dynasty, Jianzhou was divided into three types: Haixi Jurchen, Jianzhou Jurchen and Savage Jurchen.

They lived by hunting and gathering ginseng, bartering with the Han people, and capturing Han and Chao people to grow food and mine for them.

For the Ming Dynasty, Jianzhou was really not open to trade.

Because during the Ming Dynasty for more than hundreds of years, Jianzhou was like a grass on the wall. It showed favor to the Ming Dynasty, Chaoxian, and Tatar, and went to whoever offered benefits. It was not docile at all.

Nurhaci is a fierce man who came out of Jianzhou.

This memorial cannot be written.

Dabao Jian competed with three members of the cabinet to make a judgment. Dabao Jian was admonished for the sake of meritorious service. Compared with the life and death of the hundreds of Han people and the butterfly effect it caused, it may really be impossible to do business.

"Sir, is this the news from Chen Yao, the governor of Liaodong?"

"Hey, how do you know?"

Yes, today's border fortress is not just a request for trade. It is the Haixi people who have raised troops to attack Liaoyang City, and the prisoners are probably captured on the spot.

Governor Chen Yao was afraid of being blamed by the court, so he temporarily concealed the facts!

The court doesn't know yet.

At this point, Yan Chengjin began to wonder if Chen Yao had fabricated the prisoner exchange.

This possibility is not ruled out.

Yan Chengjin was thinking about whether to tell Emperor Hongzhi that it was time to send troops.

After thinking for a while, he went directly to the cabinet.

"Sir, there is something I don't know whether to say or not."

Li Dongyang almost breathed out a sigh of relief: "Just say it."

Yan Chengjin said: "Just now, Mr. Yang wanted to impeach Mr. Li, and the lower officials felt that something was fishy. If Jianzhou really wanted to do business, to show sincerity, he should send envoys to the court to make peace. Even the Tatars wanted to Ironware, you dare to come to me In the capital of the Ming Dynasty, all the tributary countries know that the Ming Dynasty is a state of etiquette and does not kill envoys. Now that trade between the two countries is such an important matter, Jianzhou did not send an envoy. The official is wondering if something happened on the border. misfortune?"

Li Dongyang thought about this question for a while, and it seemed to make some sense.

Liu Jian on the side shook his head: "It's impossible. Chen Yao was recommended by my official. This person is loyal and upright, and he will definitely not hide anything."

At this moment, Liu Jian's words were still in his ears, and a civil servant trotted in: "Three adults, the Ministry of War has sent a notice to invite the three adults to meet the saint."

"Do you know what it is?" Xie Qian asked.

"It is said that a large number of Haixi cavalry are stationed outside Liaoyang City, preparing to attack the city."

Liu Jian was slapped in the face instantly. Li Dongyang didn't care about anything else. His Majesty must be waiting for them. He glanced at Yan Chengjin and said, "You come with me."

Emperor Hongzhi looked at the memorial sent back by Wang Zongyi, the left minister of the Ministry of War, and found that the walls outside Liaoyang City had been fortified and cleared ten days ago.

Those people outside the city are the prisoners that Chen Yao calls.

Yan Chengjin followed Li Dongyang and the others into the palace, and saw Emperor Hongzhi furious: "This man is so brave!"

Liu Jian's old face was burning with pain, it was the person he recommended.

"Old ministers are equally guilty!"

Yan Chengjin really felt sorry for Liu Jian.

Liu Jian was very good at making decisions, but his judgment on people was really unflattering. Historical records show that many of the people recommended by Liu Jian had problems.

For Liu Jian's sake, Emperor Hongzhi took a deep breath, handed the memorial in his hand to Xiao Jing, and sent it down to be circulated one by one.

Ma Wensheng, who had already known the news, said: "Fortunately, Wang Zongyi was sent to patrol the border, otherwise it would have caused a catastrophe."

Ma Wensheng still clearly remembers that the previous Wang Zhi killed several Jurchens and concealed the killings, which resulted in constant friction on the border and finally the army pressed on the border.

Unexpectedly, today, Chen Yao would make the same mistake again.

"Wang Zongyi has performed many meritorious inspections. From now on, let him patrol the border." Emperor Hongzhi said.

Wang Zongyi, wasn't he the one who was captured together with his father?

Yan Chengjin looked strange. He was everywhere. With His Majesty's words, Mr. Wang would never think about his wife and children being on the hot bed for the rest of his life.

Li Dongyang said: "The plan now is to quell the rebellion as soon as possible. Last time the British Duke and Wang Yue went on an expedition but failed, why not send them this time?"

Emperor Hongzhi nodded.

There are not many guards in Beijing nowadays.

So he ordered the British Duke Zhang Mao and Wang Yue to take charge of the expedition again, with Zhang Mao as the chief general and Wang Yue as the deputy general.

The decree was sent out quickly, and the army was immediately ready to go.

Zhang Mao was happy as he rode on his horse. He wouldn't be influenced this time, right? Bah bah... unlucky, Zhang Mao shook his head quickly.

"British sir, wait!"

A long shout made Zhang Mao so frightened that he almost fell off his horse.

Zhang Mao looked at Yan Chengjin running towards him and trembled: "Aren't you going to fight again?"

After scaring Zhang Mao, Yan Chengjin expressed deep self-blame and of course he still wanted to beat him. He just came to give Wang Yue something.

"Please also ask the British Lord not to issue commander's orders first. I have something to discuss with Mr. Wang."

The British Duke breathed a sigh of relief: "Don't wait too long. Your Majesty will change your mind later and it won't be fun."

Wang Yue smiled at Yan Chengjin and said, "Don't worry, good nephew. They are just a few Haixi thieves. I will kill them all with one knife."

Wang Yue didn't know that he had picked up a hot potato.

"Does your Excellency know that Hanyuan Sanjian and the Imperial Censor are waiting to impeach Your Excellency?"

When mentioning those officials, Wang Yue became angry. This was not unreasonable. His reputation was not just for officials.

"What do you mean by nephew?"

Yan Chengjin said: "If this expedition can be solved without any problem, it will be regarded as the best strategy; if there is really no way, the army will forcefully suppress the rebellion, it will be regarded as the middle strategy; if it is open to trade with the Jurchens, it will be regarded as the worst strategy."

Wang Yue thought about it and realized that there was an easy way to solve the problem, which was to negotiate and do business with the Jurchens.

"Have you read my father's books?"

"That's natural."

Yan Chengjin took out a book and handed it to him: "Xiaguan has deduced it carefully for a long time, and the answer that is easy to solve is in the book."

Bao Gong angrily judged public cases all over the world?

There will be an answer here, Wang Yue looked suspicious.

Before he could open it and read it, Zhang Mao urged Wang Yue.

With an order, the battalion slowly headed out of the capital.
