The Ming Dynasty started with caution

"I didn't marry my daughter, so this son wants to take revenge on me like this..."

Li Dongyang sat in a sedan and rushed to Yan's Mansion, fearing that Zhaoxian would be played to death by Yan Chengjin a little later.

For him, the loss and recovery of his eldest son was more joyful than the three major happy events in his life put together.

Yan Chengjin asked Li Zhao to jog ten laps first.

The courtyard in the mansion is not big, just like a Suzhou garden. There are many precious plants and trees planted, and the air is extremely fresh.

I heard from Li Qing'e that Li Zhaoxian stayed in his room on weekdays and studied hard at the door.

I rarely go out and have even less time to exercise.

Li Zhaoxian ran two laps before he was out of breath. Yan Chengjin knew that he was a weak chicken, but he didn't expect that he was so weak that he was not even as good as a chicken.

The worst chicken in Yan's house can run ten laps.

"There are eight laps left. Can students run again tomorrow?"

"Okay, I'll tell you about the recovery plan."

Yan Chengjin took out his baby's daily training schedule, made a lot of cuts, and handed it to him.

Li Zhaoxian cannot do events such as horizontal bars and dumbbells for the time being.

The three-month plan is to jog and add laps one by one.

Yan Chengjin also enthusiastically planned the jogging route of Li Mansion.

When Li Dongyang rushed to Yan's Mansion, he was relieved to see that his son was still alive, but he did not dare to stay in Yan's Mansion any longer.

"Zhaoxian, come back to your home with me and rest!"

Li Zhaoxian looked hesitant and said to his father: "Dad, please wait outside first. I have something to say to Mr. Yan."

Li Dongyang walked out of the main hall.

Only Li Zhaoxian and Yan Chengjin were left.

Li Zhaoxian said to Yan Chengjin: "Thank you for your kindness. The student will definitely persuade his father to repay your kindness. Tomorrow, the student will let his little sister come to Yan's house."

Yan Chengjin thought carefully.

In order to repay his kindness, Li Zhaoxian wanted to facilitate his marriage with Li Qing'e, but Li Dongyang might not agree.

To be cautious, Wang Ji had to have Li Dongyang's hemorrhoids removed.

Li Dongyang was grateful and might marry his daughter to him.

Yan Chengjin thought about it and felt that it was not impossible, "Brother Zhao, does he know that Mr. Li is suffering from hemorrhoids?"

Nine out of ten men have hemorrhoids.

This disease is not serious, but it is quite scary in Ming Dynasty.

Sure enough, Li Zhaoxian was surprised: "I never heard my father mention it."

"It happens that Dr. Wang is in the capital. Mr. Li must be too embarrassed to speak out. Please try to persuade him when you have time. It's just hemorrhoids. Just say he has blisters on his mouth. No one knows." Yan Chengjin said seriously.

Li Zhaoxian nodded with deep understanding.

After getting on the carriage, Li Dongyang closed his eyes and rested. Li Zhaoxian stared at his father from time to time, with a strange look on his face: "Dad, if you feel uncomfortable, please change your position. You don't have to sit upright in front of me."

Li Dongyang was relieved that his son was sensible, but he also felt that it seemed to have some meaning, which was a bit strange.

"What did you say to Yan Chengjin just now?"

"He said that Dad is sick and asked Dr. Wang to take a look at it."

Li Dongyang's face moved slightly, feeling a little embarrassed. He kept sitting in this position and returned to the house without opening his eyes.

Early the next morning, Li Qing'e and Xie Xiangling came to Yan's Mansion arm in arm.

"Sister Qing'e, is this Yan Chengjin's mansion?"

Xie Xiangling discovered that not only was the mansion in ruins, but it didn't even have a plaque.

Even if the uncle's mansion is not in a busy street, at least it is a repaired courtyard. This Yan mansion is really too poor.

"Master Yan is an upright official, so naturally he doesn't care about these things."

The maid knocked on the door gently, not wanting to hear a sentence coming out: "I advise you to bring in a glass of wine. If you like it, open the door."

Li Qing'e secretly thought simply, "There is no sunshine but there is sunshine."

"No, this is a code word, it should be, how much sorrow can you have?"

The doorman asked again through the crack in the door: "Next sentence, a moment of spring night is worth a thousand pieces of gold."

Li Qing'e was Li Dongyang's daughter after all, and she became angry and said, "The flowers have fragrance and the moon has yin."

"No, it should be that from now on the king will not come to court early." Menzi said happily.

Since guarding the door, I have discovered a lot of fun. Whether they are talented civil servants or scholars, they will be blocked by this door.

Only those who get the young master's secret message can answer it.

"The next sentence is to compare wings on the ceiling..."

A quarter of an hour later, Li Qing'e surrendered, slightly resentful: "My little girl, Qing'e, is the young lady of the Li family. Could you please let me know."

Yan Chengjin was preparing to go to court when he heard that the two women were coming. He did not expect that Li Zhaoxian was so trustworthy.

There was nothing to do today, so he asked He Neng to go to Dai Mansion to inform him and take a day off.

Li Qing'e and Xie Xiangling stepped into the courtyard.

Although the yard is old, it is a completely different world, with many precious plants and trees planted there.

Even the breath smells indescribably comfortable.

"Master Yan saved my brother, and Qing'e came here to express his gratitude. That day in Kunning Palace, sir, don't take what my father said to heart."

"No." Yan Chengjin said: "Seeing that you are bored, why not go to Liangxiang to relax?"

"Okay!" Xie Xiangling was even happier than Li Qing'e.

I got on Yan Chengjin’s carriage and went all the way to Liangxiang. The Grand View Garden in Liangxiang was opened.

The name Guanyuan naturally means appreciation.

Many flowers and plants are planted here, and various wild animals are raised for people to watch.

It covers an area of ​​more than 500 acres under the uncultivated barren mountains in the north of Liangxiang. It is surrounded by mountains and rivers and has become a good place for the nobles of the capital.

Li Qing'e and Xie Xiangling had smiles on their faces. Although there was a garden in the mansion, compared to this place, there were no animals, and it was not as lively as here.

Yan Chengjin saw Zhu Houzhao and said, "Your Highness has come to Liangxiang again?"

"Lao Gao, this bird is so smart, it can even speak human language!" Zhu Houzhao danced with joy.

The bird Zhu Houzhao was talking about was a white parrot.

"I'll try it?"

Yan Chengjin whispered a few words in the parrot's ear, and the parrot said to Zhu Houzhao vividly: Hey, idiot!

Zhu Houzhao opened his mouth slightly, looking confused.

"This is the young scholar Zhu."

Li Qing'e and the other two nodded slightly.

Zhu Houzhao rarely saw a beauty around Lao Gao, so he became interested, and the four of them went to the garden together.

...

East Warm Pavilion, morning court.

Emperor Hongzhi presided over the court meeting. He was in a good mood today. Li Qing's family came to court, and there was no disaster in the four directions. He was ready to announce the withdrawal of the court.

At this time, a little eunuch hurried into the hall: "Your Majesty, urgent reports from the three sides."

Xiao Jing presented the memorial, and Emperor Hongzhi opened it and his face gradually became extremely solemn.

The hall was silent.

"Your Majesty?" Liu Jian reminded.

"Dayan Khan led the Huoshai tribes to invade from the Red Salt Lake in Yansui, plundering thousands of miles of land. Wherever they passed, they robbed and killed everyone. Yansui, Ningxia, and Gansu are in urgent need of help."

The ministers were noisy.

Three borders are in urgent need of help?

After the Hetao area was taken back, there was no situation where the Tatars invaded the three borders. "Where is the Red Barbarian General? Isn't there a Red Barbarian General guarding the city?"

Emperor Hongzhi was at a loss, suppressing his anger, and said word by word: "The Tatars not only invaded the Hetao area, but also took away the Red Barbarian General!"

The Red Barbarian General was lost?

The ministers took a breath of cold air. The Red Barbarian General was so powerful. If he fell into the hands of the Tatars, what would happen?

Emperor Hongzhi was so anxious that he kept pacing in front of the emperor.

Liu Jian said: "Your Majesty, the crime of dereliction of duty can be punished later. The most urgent thing is to send people to attack the Tatars!"

"I said that the Earl of Anding cannot be transferred to Xuanfu. Yan Chengjin! Where is Yan Chengjin?" Emperor Hongzhi was furious.

He looked in the direction of the Censorate, but did not see Yan Chengjin.

Dai Shan whispered: "Your Majesty, Yan Chengjin asked for a day off."

"Go and summon him to the palace!"

...

Liangxiang, Grand View Garden.

When Yan Chengjin and Li Qing'e walked to Heyuan, the Jinyiwei came up to report that His Majesty ordered him to enter the palace immediately.

"Old Gao, you go back first. I am here."

He looked at Zhu Houzhao, Li Qing'e and Xie Xiangling, and felt uneasy.

After sending Li Qing'e and Xie Xiangling back to the mansion, he hurried into the palace.

"Your servant Yan Chengjin..."

"Do you know that it took more than ten years of fighting with the Tatars to regain the Hetao region? Now, Dayan Khan has invaded Yansui?" Emperor Hongzhi said in a low voice.

Yan Chengjin was slightly surprised. Yansui also had a Red Barbarian General, but it was still lost?
