The Ming Dynasty started with caution

Li Dongyang and the three of them were worried.

Zhang Sheng's blood was so strong that he encountered problems twice in succession. No dynasty had such an unlucky Ministry of Rites.

He deserves to be the Minister of Rites, but he is really aggrieved.

"Your Majesty, the roll call has been completed. The most urgent task is to see how to deal with it." Liu Jian advised rationally.

This time the title is different from Cheng Minzheng's.

The first, second, and third grades have been announced to the world. If it is canceled at this time...

It really damages the prestige of the court.

Xie Qian knelt down and said, "My minister Xie Pi said that His Highness once gave him a title, but at that time, I didn't take it seriously..."

Emperor Hongzhi suppressed his anger and comforted him: "It's not Xie Pi's fault, it's my fault. The prince should not be allowed to observe the government."

This was what Zhu Houzhao wanted.

He would rather be beaten than watch politics.

Yan Chengjin guessed that punishing Zhu Houzhao would be light, but how to deal with it now was the key.

Cheng Minzheng hadn't announced his results back then, but now, all the names have been sung.

How can it be child's play for Your Majesty to hold the Constitution in his mouth?

Li Dongyang said: "I think that with the talents of Song Jing and Xie Pi, we can answer the policy question.

If fraud cases are reported one after another, it will really damage the prestige of the court. "

Song Jingnai was Huiyuan, and Xie Pi was Jieyuan.

With such a talent, it is very likely that there will be no question, and you can also answer the strategy question.

Yan Chengjin agreed with Li Dongyang's point of view. If you pass the joint examination, you are already qualified to be a Jinshi.

It's just that there is a difference in ranking.

Sooner or later, he will become an official.

Song Jing and Xie Pi both had talents and learning, and joining the court as officials would be of great benefit to the Ming Dynasty.

Qin Hong said angrily: "How can it be fair to other candidates?"

"If Your Majesty bans this group of candidates, will it be difficult to hold the joint examination again? In this case, we will have to wait another three years." Liu Jian worried.

Emperor Hongzhi took a deep breath and closed his eyes: "The roll call remains unchanged. I hope that Song Jing and Xie Pi are both talented and learned people.

This matter must not be spread among the government and the public, and all the princes should keep it in mind.

I will punish the prince. "

His Majesty was quite helpless to give birth to a son like His Highness. The cabinet and the six ministries sighed softly and bowed in response.

In the past few days since the Chuanlu Ceremony, Yan Chengjin had not seen Zhu Houzhao.

I heard that he was taught a terrible lesson by Emperor Hongzhi. With Zhu Houzhao's temperament, he would never change.

This boy was born to be this kind of person.

…………

Li Mansion,

Li Dongyang was so angry that he kept silent and disappeared again.

"Where is the eldest young master?"

"I went out this morning and haven't come back yet. I'm keeping an eye on you. I didn't bring any luggage, and I didn't ask for any money from the accountant." said the manager of the Li Mansion.

Li Dongyang's frown deepened, and with only a trace of reason left, he muttered: "Run away, he must have run away!"

As shrewd as he is, he cannot understand why Li Zhaoxian was so keen on fame before.

Why, now that I can't avoid it, I always have to run away.

He came to Yan Chengjin angrily and asked in a deep voice: "My son has gone to Mankara country!"

"Master Li is talking about Li Zhaoxian or Li Zhaofan?" Yan Chengjin asked.

"Of course it's a sign!"

Yan Chengjin said without panic: "To go to the sea, you need a Yin-Yang officer who can cross the ocean to hold stars. Li Zhaoxian is extremely talented.

I'm afraid it would be difficult for the fleet to reach the Kingdom of Mankara if only one person were replaced. "

Countries such as Portugal have very powerful navigators.

The art of star-crossing across the ocean is an extremely powerful astronomical navigation technique, and it is a technology unique to the Ming Dynasty.

Relying on the observation of the coastal terrain, the guidance of the sun, moon, stars, and compass to guide the fleet's navigation.

At that time, the Three Treasure Eunuchs used the technique of traveling across the sea to reach many Western countries safely.

In addition, there is geography and navigation, which Li Zhaoxian studied very deeply.

Yan Chengjin continued: "I told him to tell the Lord, but he is so unfilial."

You, you are shameless!

He instigated my son to go to sea and said that my son was unfilial...

Li Dongyang almost missed the opportunity, turned around and strode back to the cabinet room for check-in.

………

sea, main ship,

Li Zhaoxian held the star board in his left hand and the compass in his right hand to guide the helmsman forward.

"Bring the plumb bob and measure the depth of the water. I'm afraid there is a reef ahead."

Liu Jin hurriedly threw the lead bob into the sea and said happily: "Master Li, do you think this is right?"

Zhang Yong brought out a willow wooden stool from the cabin and said flatteringly, "Master Li, please sit down."

They were advised by Yan Chengjin to protect Li Zhaoxian.

If they can escort him back safely, Master Yan will spare their lives and no longer be in trouble.

Li Zhaoxian was extremely uncomfortable calling them this.

"Your Majesty has ordered these two father-in-laws to supervise the army. How dare you let them serve the students?"

Liu Jinhun didn't care and said: "Sir Yan said that if the Jinshan and Silver Mountains of the Mankara Kingdom could be moved back to the Ming Dynasty.

His Majesty Long Yan is so pleased that he might make an exception and grant Master Li a title. "

Li Zhaoxian turned a deaf ear. He just went to sea because he thought it was interesting.

Whether he can come back alive is still unknown.

How can I dare to think that His Majesty will grant me a title?

…………

Jiangnan, Prince Ning's Mansion.

Zhu Chenhao was feeding the fish by the pond, and the counselor quickly stepped forward to report: "Your Majesty, Lin Jun was promoted to the Imperial Censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, but was disturbed by Yan Chengjin."

Zhu Chenhao crushed the bait and threw it all into the fish pond.

"Yan Chengjin is really hateful. He refused my recruitment over and over again and ruined my good deeds.

God is unfair. Your Majesty is surrounded by capable ministers. "

The counselor's face turned red. Wasn't he calling them all idiots?

"I heard that there is a talented man named Tang Bohu in Taohua Tower. If the prince gets this man, Yan Chengjin will definitely not be his opponent."

In his opinion, if Tang Bohu had not been involved in a fraud case.

Yan Chengjin would not have won the first place.

Zhu Chenhao intends to recruit counselors from all over the world: "Bring this man to the palace, I will meet him in person."

The counselor said: "Prince, there is one more thing. The commander of the Jinyiwei, Mou Bin, has gone to the south of the Yangtze River."

Whenever the Jinyiwei is dispatched, it must be the order of His Majesty.

Even Mou Bin came in person. Zhu Chenhao turned around: "What are you doing here?"

"Investigate Lin Jun."

...

In the Censorate,

Yan Chengjin estimated that Mou Bin should be back from the south of the Yangtze River soon.

I wonder if the real King Ning in history was of high rank?

In many historical materials, some people commented that King Ning was a very smart person, but unfortunately, he met Wang Shouren.

Just like Zhou Yu met Zhuge Liang.

He made mistakes at every step.

Mou Bin investigated Lin Jun. If Prince Ning was smart, he would not have obstructed him.

The new Chief Censor had to wait until the matter was clear before he could finalize it.

The next morning, after the morning court session.

Yan Chengjin and the cabinet were left behind. Mou Bin stood beside Emperor Hongzhi. It was obvious that the impeachment of Dai Shan had come to an end.

Emperor Hongzhi said, "Feng Du was instructed by Lin Jun. Lin Jun was not in a position to impeach because of his friendship with Dai Shan."

Only fools like the Zhang brothers would believe such nonsense.

Li Dongyang said, "The Censorate has always been ruthless in impeaching officials. Such a poor reason.

It is hard for me to believe it."

Liu Jian and others nodded.

But no matter what, Lin Jun was not making a false accusation. There was solid evidence that Dai Shan's wife and children accepted bribes.

Yan Chengjin fell into deep thought. Sure enough, he still hadn't found out Prince Ning.

In his heart, Prince Ning's status had one more bar.

Xie Qian advised: "Your Majesty, how about letting Min Gui of the Ministry of Justice be transferred to the Censorate and Xiong Xi, the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice, be promoted to the Minister of this Ministry?"

"According to your family's suggestion, the Cabinet will draft the edict for me." Emperor Hongzhi was confident in Min Gui.

Yan Chengjin cursed in his heart.

This man has a hot temper and is upright. I wonder if he can tolerate his cautious nature when he comes to the Censorate.
