The Ming Dynasty started with caution

Judging from Gao Feng's life, this eunuch must have been raised poorly.

Yan Chengjin can also draw sea charts, but he has to speak them out through Gao Feng's mouth.

The Ming Dynasty is now extremely barren, and there are still many people in the area who eat porridge or vegetable roots mixed with porridge to satisfy their hunger. In winter, they wear all the clothes from all seasons, but they can't keep out the cold.

If I could draw a map, I would be able to fool His Majesty into sending a fleet to America.

"If you don't tell me, I can have someone draw it."

Gao Fengpi smiled but said, "Who are you kidding? Why don't you kill us if you draw it?"

Yan Chengjin ordered all the government officials to go out. He was the only one in the government hall. He lightly drew a rough outline on the paper and threw it in front of Gao Feng.

Gao Fenghun didn't care. He picked it up and glanced at it. He was shocked: "I'll draw it... I'll draw it all..."

An hour passed, and a more detailed picture of the sea was drawn.

"You are right. If you draw it, I will kill you. This will be your evidence of going to sea."

Gao Feng's pupils shrank suddenly, Dog Officer...

Yan Chengjin would not let Gao Feng return to the palace. Liu Jin was afraid of him, and Gao Feng hated him. Keeping him in the palace would be a disaster.

Forbidden City,

Xiao Jing came out of Qianqing Palace and prepared to go back to the check-in room to take a rest.

There was a young eunuch outside the courtyard, running over with broken steps: "Master Xiao, Gao Feng is back, and he is in the hands of Yan Chengjin."

Gao Feng was sent to the palace since he was a child, and was selected by Xiao Jing to enter the inner academy. He had a very good relationship.

Xiao Jing was surprised: "Where did you come back from?"

"I came back on a six-masted ship. It is rumored that Yan Chengjin will be charged with violating the maritime ban..."

Okay, we know that you, Yan Chengjin, are persecuting the eunuchs in the palace.

After Xiao Jing heard this, he turned around and walked back to Qianqing Palace.

On the vermilion royal couch, a figure was covered with a quilt embroidered with dragons and phoenixes, and the sound of even breathing could be heard.

Emperor Hongzhi was obviously fast asleep.

"Your Majesty, the eunuch Gao Feng who escaped from the palace is in the hands of Yan Chengjin."

Emperor Hongzhi was sleeping very lightly, and a eunuch would naturally not attract his attention. He was sitting up: "Why did Yan Chengjin seize the companion in the palace?"

"My slave doesn't know either." Xiao Jing also felt strange.

Yan Chengjin has always been timid and cautious, and will not cause trouble for himself without any reason, and he wants to end the relationship.

But these eunuchs were indeed persecuted by Yan Chengjin when they left the palace.

"The Yan Qing family must be planning something. They want to wait until it is done before telling me. He is just too cautious. How can I blame him? You send factory guards to investigate secretly." After some analysis, Emperor Hongzhi said seriously .

Xiao Jing's face darkened, Your Majesty, this is persecution.

It's all because Yan Chengjin maintains such a good image in front of His Majesty. His Majesty wouldn't believe it if he said that this son would harm others, right?

"Slave, I'll send someone to take care of it now."

…

Liangxiang, Yamen.

After being held in prison for five days, no one came to interrogate him and there was no intention of releasing him.

"Come on, come on! I don't want to pretend anymore. I am Shang Zhen, the king of Ryukyu." Shang Zhen looked in a daze and shouted while standing in front of the extremely smooth prison wood.

"Come quickly, our king is here."

Dong Wen stretched out his hand from the crossbar and called the jailer in the distance.

King Zhongshan came to Ming Dynasty for a private visit. If neighboring countries knew about it, they would definitely wait for an opportunity to attack Ryukyu.

Therefore, Shang Zhen did not dare to reveal his identity easily.

But he never expected that the micro-interview would end up in prison. If he didn't return to his country, Ryukyu would be gone.

The cell was dark and dark, and in broad daylight a kerosene lamp was needed to provide a yellowish light.

The jailer heard the noise and ran to report Zhang Xian.

Not long after, the two were escorted to the government hall, but they did not kneel down.

Before Yan Chengjin could speak, Shang Zhen regretfully admitted: "This king is Shang Zhen, the Zhongshan King of Ryukyu. Please let me go. I don't want to borrow troops anymore. I just want to return to Ryukyu."

Yan Chengjin was full of disbelief.

The king of a vassal country will not leave the country easily and will be assassinated by enemies or terrorists.

If the Japanese pirates knew that King Zhongshan was crossing the ocean, they would definitely hijack ships, kill people, and occupy Ryukyu.

Just like Emperor Hongzhi's private visit to Jiangnan, he would definitely be intercepted and killed by Prince Ning and Bai Lian.

According to the historical records of King Shangzhen, he should be a person with a slight IQ.

"King Zhongshan is working hard to govern. He is currently preparing troops to attack Kume Island and Gu Zhichuan. How can he come to the Ming Dynasty?"

Shang Zhen couldn't care less and said anxiously: "I heard that in the past three years of the Ming Dynasty, the national power has been incomparable. Dayan Khan has been defeated repeatedly and Jianzhou Jurchens have been destroyed.

There are also many magical things that have been spread to Ryukyu. I wanted to see them with my own eyes. Who would have thought that you would catch me as soon as I got off the ship. "

Yan Chengjin lowered his head and thought.

There is only one place for smuggling under maritime restrictions, and that is Ryukyu.

"How do you prove that you are King Shang Zhen?"

Dong Min turned pale with fright and avoided revealing his identity when boarding the ship. King Shang Zhen did not bring anything to prove his identity.

How to prove it now?

"Let King Naozhen return to Ryukyu, which will naturally prove it."

Shang Zhen nodded and stared at Yan Chengjin. At this moment, his life was in Yan Chengjin's hands.

Yan Chengjin smiled like you are overthinking: "If you can't prove it, it will be a serious crime of impersonation, and I will chop off your heads."

There was a snap.

The two writs were thrown in front of Shang Zhen and Dong Wen, just in time to silence them along with Gao Feng.

Dong Wen was so frightened that beads of sweat formed on his forehead. The sound of the ticket falling shattered all his hopes.

How else can this be proven?

Shang Zhen looked astonished. This king went through untold hardships and escaped persecution by the heretics before he could sit on the throne. He didn't expect to die here.

He took a deep breath to calm down.

"If I can prove it, give me the pen and ink."

Yan Chengjin was a little confused. He didn't even believe it himself. How could this be proven?

"Think carefully, if you can't prove it, I will kill you now."

"I have thought about it! Bring me pen and paper!"

The yamen servant brought pen, ink, paper and inkstone and spread them out on the ground.

Shang Zhen took a deep breath. If he could not prove that he was the King of Zhongshan, this official would kill him.

If he died in a foreign country, Ryukyu would definitely be in chaos. The Satsuma Kingdom was waiting for an opportunity to invade, and the internal ministers were vying for the throne.

This king has worked hard for more than 20 years, and the prosperous era he has managed with so much hard work will be destroyed in one day.

He held on to the vermilion bold pen, and his hands began to tremble unconsciously.

Soon, the paper was filled with black words.

The yamen servant presented it to the yamen case and fixed the four corners with paperweight stones to prevent them from being blown away by the wind.

How can this person prove that he is King Shangzhen? Does he have a secret password?

Yan Chengjin looked at the black words carefully and thought in his mind:

I have been favored by my subjects and ascended the throne as emperor. I will be known throughout the world as Ming Dynasty and Jianyuan Hongwu. This is used to send envoys to foreign barbarians to broadcast my wishes. When the envoys arrive, the barbarian chiefs will pay tribute as ministers. However, Ryukyu is located in the southeast of China and is far overseas, so it was not reported in time. I am hereby sending a special envoy to tell you.

After finishing reading, he raised his head and looked at the old Confucian scholar in front of him, wondering: "This is it?"

The old Confucian scholar snorted coldly: "This is the edict issued by Emperor Gao of the Ming Dynasty when he sent envoy Yang Zai to Ryukyu to give my ancestors the surname of Shang. Do you believe it this time?"

Dong Wen let out a sigh of relief, straightened his back and remained calm.

With this edict, this dog official believed it, right?

Yan Chengjin shook his head: "I want to enter the palace for verification and escort him back to the dungeon."

If it was really King Shang Zhen, he really couldn't be killed.

Bajiao Island has maintained a tribute relationship with the Ming Dynasty since the first generation of King Shang. Killing the king of a country without His Majesty's permission will cause big trouble.

When you are an official in the court, any small mistake will be irreversible.

Especially for someone like him who likes to change the ancestral system. Isn't this how Zhang Juzheng was whipped to death?

After entering the palace, Yan Chengjin went straight to the Wenhua Hall.

A large number of classics of emperors of all dynasties are collected here, which were organized and organized during the Hongwu period.

"I am looking for the edict sent to Ryukyu by the Ming Dynasty during the Hongwu period."

Of course, it is impossible to find books by yourself. You will never be able to find them by yourself in this life.

Many classics are covered with dust. If they are accidentally inhaled into the lungs...

Zheng Qian took several young censors who had just joined the Metropolitan Procuratorate and began to read through it.

It was difficult to find it for a while, so Yan Chengjin planned to go to the East Palace to sit there.

When I arrived at the East Palace, I saw Gong'e and her companion waiting outside the main hall, seemingly being driven out.

You don't need to ask to know that Zhu Houzhao is counting money inside.

"Your Highness, there is no need to count, five thousand eight hundred and twenty taels."

Suddenly, the door opened with a bang. Zhu Houzhao pinched Yan Chengjin and asked, "How do you, a dog official, know this?"
