The Ming Dynasty started with caution

Chapter 342 The backlash of impeachment

Yan Chengjin was slightly surprised, then calmed down.

He was protected by the Jinyiwei for twelve hours.

Every move was reported to His Majesty by someone, and the information that could be found in the palace had long been turned upside down.

Xiao Jing came down and presented the impeachment memorial. The ministers showed curiosity. Many officials who impeached Yan Chengjin would be rebounded.

Gradually, the ministers did not like to impeach Yan Chengjin.

Yang Yiqing had just returned from Shaanxi, and he did not know that this boy was a tough guy. He kicked him and felt pain for three days.

Some time ago, Li Mengyang, who impeached this boy, is not in Hainan now...

Li Dongyang shook his head helplessly. Those who impeached this boy were either killed or exiled.

Strangely, this boy's impeachment was impeachable. The Jinyiwei could always find evidence in the memorial, and it was not a frame-up.

The duty of the censor was to supervise all officials, and this boy was just exercising his duty.

He had a good personal relationship with Yang Yiqing, and he had advised him yesterday.

But the memorial had been submitted, and there was no point in saying anything.

The moment he said the impeachment, Brother Yang must have been on Yan Chengjin's impeachment list.

Yang Yiqing stood straight, calmly standing in the hall, still unaware.

He hadn't slept for half a night to write this impeachment memorial, and he was very confident about it.

Even if the object of impeachment was changed to Liu Jian, he would be so upset that he would roll on the ground.

Everyone's eyes fell on the hands of Emperor Hongzhi.

Emperor Hongzhi opened the memorial, and there was not much expression between his eyebrows.

After closing the memorial, he said lightly: "I know."

Instantly, Yang Yiqing felt like he was struck by lightning, a tingling feeling flowed from the top of his head, and his body trembled slightly.

The ministers were not very surprised. Those who had investigated Yan Chengjin knew that this boy was extremely boring on weekdays and didn't even go to brothels.

He was always refused when asked to come to the house for a banquet. He returned home after his duty, attended court on time every day, never held poetry gatherings or tea parties, and was as dull as water.

How could people impeach him?

It was too difficult.

"Your Majesty... I wrote more than a thousand words. You can only see the problem if you read it slowly." Yang Yiqing bowed slightly.

The normal procedure should be that Your Majesty would punish this boy in court and list the crimes in detail.

But the memorial he wrote in the middle of the night only got one sentence, "I know, it's so painful..."

Xiao Jing secretly glanced at it. The memorial was really unoriginal.

Yan Chengjin's affair with the prince would be a serious crime in any dynasty.

But every time Zhu Houzhao climbed over the wall to leave the palace, Yan Chengjin was the victim.

For this reason, the Yan Mansion also raised the courtyard wall, and the officials in the court knew about it.

It's not Yang Yiqing's fault. I'm afraid this is the only evidence he can find about Yan Chengjin.

Emperor Hongzhi put down the memorial, took a deep breath and said, "Who else has something to report?"

It is close to the end of the year, and perhaps because of the heavy snow, fewer memorials were sent back to the capital.

These days, Li Dongyang and the other two have been in charge of the cabinet, and few memorials have been seen.

Yan Chengjin looked at Emperor Hongzhi. His Majesty did not mention the opening of the Silk Road.

Emperor Hongzhi and his ministers have lived in an environment of closed sea ban for decades and have long been accustomed to such a situation.

If the opening of the Silk Road is suddenly mentioned, they will definitely not be used to it.

Liangxiang is the biggest beneficiary of the opening of the Silk Road.

Liangxiang has a large number of flying shuttle looms and a large amount of raw silk. After the opening of the Silk Road, I am afraid that a piece of raw silk can be sold at the price of silk.

"The Silk Road has been cut off for more than a hundred years.

It is a huge project to restore the infrastructure of the northwest.

It costs hundreds of thousands of taels of silver to repair a palace in the palace.

There are so many post stations, collapsed houses and banknote gates in the northwest. I don't know how much silver it will cost to build a road for business.

Your Majesty needs to think carefully, and it is understandable."

Yan Chengjin secretly speculated that his majesty would come up with the result in a few days.

He couldn't figure out why Yang Yiqing wanted to impeach.

The number of war horses in the Shaanxi Yuanma Temple doubled, and they should be grateful to him.

If it weren't for the promotion of selective breeding in the northwest, I'm afraid the number of war horses left would not be enough.

In historical materials, Yang Yiqing painstakingly got rid of Liu Jin, and on the surface he could be classified as an honest official.

But Liu Daxia was also called an honest official, but he kept the sea map privately.

Yan Chengjin turned his head slightly and looked at Yang Yiqing, and he was more convinced that the history books were not credible.

The history books said that Yang Yiqing was extremely ugly, so he was not valued.

But Yang Yiqing in front of him was not as ugly as Ma Wensheng.

Yang Yiqing's military talent was only slightly inferior to Wang Yue. After removing Liu Jin, he became the general of the three borders and stabilized the nine borders for a long time.

After the court,

all the officials came out of the Fengtian Hall. Yan Chengjin walked a few steps faster and said to Yang Yiqing: "May I ask, Lord Yang, why do you want to impeach Yan Chengjin?"

Yang Yiqing looked at the man in front of him, wearing the red robe of the censor, handsome, and a rhinoceros belt given by the emperor around his waist.

It was consistent with the description in the materials he read last night.

He said angrily: "You are..."

Yan Chengjin shook his head: "No."

"You are lying to fools!"

Seeing that he insisted so much, Yan Chengjin nodded: "Yeah."

Damn, this guy actually called him a fool in person. Yang Yiqing quickly calmed down and stroked his beard and said: "You asked me to do it for that memorial?"

Yan Chengjin was sure that Yang Yiqing didn't know him.

"I am an honest official. Sir Yang has impeached the wrong person."

"I have been in the northwest for a year. Now it is peaceful. You advised to open the Silk Road. When the time comes, horse bandits and foreign merchants will all come in. If the Tatars and Wala take the opportunity to invade, there will be chaos, and you will be blamed."

The opening of the Silk Road allowed the Western Regions to trade freely, and Kanhe became useless.

Bandits from outside the region can enter and exit the border freely, and they will definitely come to disturb.

Yang Yiqing thought carefully, and Yan Chengjin naturally thought that the Tatars would invade.

Bandits will definitely accompany the Silk Road.

But this does not affect the prosperity of the Silk Road at all.

Whether it is Emperor Hongzhi or Yang Yiqing, they are all accustomed to the stability of the northwest.

Yan Chengjin said seriously: "What Lord Yang said is right. This official has always felt that Lord Yang is a talent. It is a pity to raise horses."

Yang Yiqing was confused. He thought that he would fight with him and then threaten him with a harsh word.

This kid not only did not scold him, but also praised him for his great talent.

What... what is this?

Yang Yiqing suddenly felt a little self-blaming, habitually modest, and said in a slightly weaker tone: "You don't need to praise my talent and virtue, don't try to get away with it."

Yan Mansion,

Wang Bushui was holding the newly bought mulberry land and the newly signed contract, waiting for Yan Chengjin to come on duty.

After the Liangxiang Silk Factory opened, it needed a long-term supplier.

"Master, I bought a large piece of mulberry land in Jiangnan, and we can also produce silk ourselves."

After the opening of the Silk Road, the most valuable thing was silk. The 40,000 taels of silver that Wang Bushui invested in the shares were all spent on buying mulberry land.

He also found a group of raw silk suppliers in Jiangnan.

"Continue to purchase raw silk, as much as you can." Yan Chengjin said.

Wang Bushui said in embarrassment: "But Master, the price of raw silk has almost risen to three taels of silver."

The price of silk rose, and the price of raw silk also rose.

After Yan Chengjin bought a large amount of raw silk from the Zhang brothers and retail investors, there was a serious shortage of raw silk in Jiangnan.

"I'll buy even if it goes up." Yan Chengjin said.

If the Silk Road is opened, it will be a big profit if it goes up to three taels.

Anyway, even if I lose money, it's the money of Liangxiang Chamber of Commerce and the government, so why not do it.

Thinking of the family rules, Wang Bushui didn't dare to say more, and hesitated: "Master, there is a silk merchant in Nanchang who wants to see you."

Why does King Ning always tease him?
