The Ming Dynasty started with caution

Chapter 401 Entering the palace and agreeing to compete

Yan Chengjin looked through the imperial documents and sent officials from the Metropolitan Procuratorate to make a small visit to inquire.

Han Wen is the son of Han Yong.

After Han Yong pacified the Dadeng Gorge Rebellion, he was granted the title of Censor of the Right Capital and Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi.

The assistant officials in the imperial court are divided into left and right, but the left is the sitting official, and the right is usually sent from abroad.

Just like Zuo Zongyi served as the right minister of the Ministry of War, he was either going to Jiubian or on the way to Jiubian.

It is extremely difficult to be a censor of the capital. If he is put under local supervision, he will either collude with local officials or be tit for tat.

Han Yong was a straightforward man, which prevented local officials from getting rich.

He was falsely accused by Huang Qin, the right young eunuch of Guangxi, saying that he had colluded with Yao thieves to reoccupy Datang Gorge.

Emperor Chenghua was so angry that he dismissed Han Yong from his position, and Han Yong died in depression.

Emperor Hongzhi, Li Dongyang and others did not know that this was an unjust case.

The records in the archives of the Metropolitan Procuratorate are closely consistent with what Yan Chengjin knew. In March of the 10th year of Chenghua, Huang Qin falsely accused Han Yong.

Zhang Sheng of the Ministry of Rites was surprised: "There is such a scholar in the Imperial College, how come I don't know about it?"

The Imperial College is under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Rites. To be precise, it is supervised by the Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Rites.

When Zhang was promoted to the left minister of the Ministry of Rites, he supervised the Imperial College for a long time.

If the bow and horse stand out, he should be impressed.

Yan Chengjin said: "Your Majesty will find out after sending someone to investigate."

Han Wen had no one to rely on in the capital. He was the emperor and his ministers. His father, Han Yong, was of the same generation as Zhou Jing and Fu Han, and most of them had already reached official positions.

He has no friendship with the important officials of the current imperial court.

It is extremely difficult for Han Wen to replace his father.

Emperor Hongzhi looked at Zhang Sheng: "Let Yan Chengjin handle this matter. Don't let me down."

Lowered the value,

Yan Chengjin sat in a sedan chair and went directly to Han Wen, arriving at the dilapidated courtyard.

The terrain here is complicated, with dragons and snakes mixed together, so He Neng can go in. He is sitting alone in a sedan chair, with Jin Yiwei not far away.

"Master, I'm not here."

Yan Chengjin asked the bearers to get up the sedan and headed back home.

When they arrived at the alley, they saw a scholar lingering at the door with an anxious expression. When he saw He Neng, he came up to him.

"The student was able to gain a foothold in Beijing because of your favor. My mother told me to give this sword to my benefactor.

Although it is not a valuable thing, it is something important to the students, so please accept it from your benefactor. "Han Wen held a short sword in his hand.

Although the Imperial College provides food and accommodation, there are also regular allowances.

But there was an old mother at home who was ill and couldn't get rid of the pot for three days at a time. Thanks to He Neng's money, life became easier.

He Neng said: "You, take three steps back, take out the dagger and put it on the ground."

Han Wen was a little confused, but he still took three steps back, pulled out the dagger, put it on the ground in front of him, and took another step back, not knowing why.

"Master, it's safe."

A voice came from the sedan: "How did you find this mansion?"

Han Wen's face turned red and he lowered his head and said, "The student followed the benefactor and came to this mansion. He had no other intention. He just wanted to recognize the benefactor's mansion and repay his kindness in the future."

He Neng looks miserable, and his wages will be deducted again if he dies.

Yan Chengjin didn't blame him. Han Wen was familiar with military books and knew strategies well. If He Neng's IQ was better than Han Wen, he would be wary.

Han Wen raised his head slightly. Who is in this sedan? Why is there no sound?

After a while, He Neng said: "Put the sword away. Three days later at Mao Shi, take your spear with you to the Meridian Gate and help me fight."

Even if Han Wen doesn't go, Jin Yiwei will arrest him, so don't worry.

"???" Korean.

He Neng waved his hand and said with a smile: "You just came, it's not something that is harmful to nature."

Han Wen responded and left.

Yan Chengjin came out of the sedan, He Neng hurriedly presented the dagger: "Young Master, it's just an ordinary dagger, not worth money."

It should be Han Yong's sword, the material is similar to Wang Yue's green steel sword.

It's not worth much, and you can keep it for self-defense even if you throw it into a sedan chair.

Han Wen walked out of the alley with a puzzled look on his face. What was he doing at the Meridian Gate? Is the person in the sedan just now an official?

Looking at the mansion, he should be an upright official.

But why he knew he had a spear, he couldn't figure it out.

Three days passed in a blink of an eye.

Early in the morning,

The ceremonial supervisors were busy putting up Emperor Hongzhi's royal curtain in the wide courtyard of the Meridian Gate.

Emperor Hongzhi was wearing a Longgun suit and a Yishan crown, sitting on his throne.

The cabinet and the six ministries were given seats respectively, and hundreds of officials gathered on both sides, making it very lively.

I don't have a seat?

Yan Chengjin glanced at Zhu Houzhao, who did not offer him a seat, but stood behind Emperor Hongzhi.

In the wide courtyard of the Meridian Gate, the imperial guards and the imperial guards formed a circle, and the competition would begin in this circle.

"Dear Emperor Ming, I wonder who the imperial court will send to compete?" No one came to see the real Timur.

Emperor Hongzhi looked at Yan Chengjin: "Where are the Yan Qing family members?"

"I will order someone to lead you into the palace right now."

Zheng Qian trotted to the Meridian Gate and saw a scholar carrying a spear. He knew it was the person Master Yan was talking about and waved to him.

Han Wen was stunned, entering the palace to fight?

Zheng Qian followed Yan Chengjin's words and ordered: "When I see His Majesty later, don't get excited. Once you get on the ring, you don't have to follow the rules. Just beat him to death."

Han Wen's whole body trembled slightly: "Student, can students see His Majesty?"

"Shh, keep your voice down."

The imperial guard helped him carry the spear. Even with His Majesty's instructions, the spear could not be carried into the palace by Han Wen.

Emperor Hongzhi and the cabinet looked forward to it very much. Who kind of person is Han Wen? Yan Chengjin admired him so much.

But the thin scholar was shorter than Timur. When the wind blew, he could see his thin body.

Everyone was disappointed. When they looked at the scholar again, they were a little timid, and they doubted his strength even more.

Han Wen curled his lips and said, "He is not as good as me. I am stronger than him."

Liu Jian, Li Dongyang and others looked worried. The fight naturally depends on the physique. This man is too thin.

He is only a few points stronger than the refugees in Liangxiang.

Qin Hong sighed heavily. He knew that he could not exert much strength.

Emperor Hongzhi could not help but worry: "Mr. Yan, this matter concerns the face of the court. It cannot be taken lightly."

Yan Chengjin said, "Your Majesty, don't worry."

Wang Shouren had competed with Han Wen and knew that Han Wen had a long spear, which was from this.

It is rumored that after Han Yong died of depression, Han Wen has been practicing martial arts hard and neglected his studies, but his martial arts are extremely superb.

If he can't kill the real Timur, then it must be the real Timur who has turned on the immortality cheat.

"Student Han Wen, kowtow to Your Majesty!"

Han Wen knelt on the ground, saluted Emperor Hongzhi, and then saluted all the officials.

Emperor Hongzhi looked at Yan Chengjin, undecided, it was not right to change him at this time, and it was not right not to change him.

Zhu Houzhao said happily: "Father, the old Gao Ding still has many defenses, don't worry, at the very least, there are still sons and ministers."

Emperor Hongzhi felt a little more at ease: "Let's start!"

"Wait a minute, the sword doesn't recognize people, what if I accidentally kill him?" The real Timur wanted a definite answer.

This man looked like he could really be beaten to death by him, but he was afraid that the Ming Dynasty would blame him.

Before Emperor Hongzhi answered, Han Wen said: "The student's skills are not as good as others, and death is not worth mentioning. I'm just afraid that I accidentally killed you."

The real Timur sneered: "I am the same, death is not worth mentioning!"
