The Ming Dynasty started with caution

Ministry of War,

Qin Hong flipped through the report sent back by Zuo Zongyi, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of War.

The Great Wall will soon be built to Alashan, and Dayan Khan sent troops to invade from time to time, slaughtering refugees who were repairing the wall, and frightened the refugees to flee everywhere.

Zhang Sheng strode into the duty room: "Brother Shiying, is there any urgent report from the south?"

"Here it comes again, Brother Qizhao came to my house three times a day. If I had known this, why would I let my nephew go south?" Qin Hong said unhappily.

Did I ask my son to go south?

Zhang Sheng said angrily: "Yes or no?!"

Seeing that he was so anxious that his face turned red, Qin Hong's heart softened slightly and shook his head: "No, if there is an urgent report, I will send someone to inform."

Malaria is more severe than typhoid fever. Once you get it, there is no cure.

If Wang Ji can be cured, it would be Hua Tuo in the world.

Zhang Sheng turned around and walked out of the duty room with a dark face, but was almost hit by the guards who ran in.

Just as he was about to rebuke, he heard good news.

"My Lord, urgent news from the south!"

In the warm room,

Emperor Hongzhi looked at the list recommended by the cabinet.

The position of Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel is vacant.

The Ministry of Personnel is the head of the six ministries, in charge of the appointment and dismissal of civil servants throughout the country. Wu Shun is gone, and someone needs to be appointed.

"Let's promote Liang Chu to Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel."

The three people in the cabinet nodded, and they also wanted to recommend this person.

Li Dongyang asked hesitantly: "There is also a vacancy for the Chief Censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Who will Your Majesty appoint?"

Liu Jian and Xie Qian cast expectant eyes.

Although the Chief Censor is only one of the nine ministers, he is also an important official and needs to be appointed carefully.

Emperor Hongzhi put down the list and hesitated: "Do you have anyone to recommend? I want to appoint Yan Qingjia, but he is still a child and may not be able to take on this important task."

The Chief Censor needs to be honest and not greedy.

I don't doubt Yan Chengjin's character, but I am a little worried about his ability. If he is in charge of one court, he will be in charge of all the censors in the world.

This kid hasn't married yet. If he enters the age of thirty, I will be relieved to hand it over to him.

Liu Jian nodded: "If he is made the chief censor, I wonder what the Censorate will become."

Li Dongyang and Xie Qian nodded in agreement.

This kid always wants to change the ancestral system!

When he was a censor, he dared to advise the revision of the Great Ming Law. If he becomes the chief censor, won't he change the ancestral precepts of the Ming Dynasty?

Xie Qian nodded: "I also think that this boy is not qualified."

Xiao Jing walked in quickly and said nervously: "Your Majesty, the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Rites asked to see you, saying that they want to report auspicious signs..."

Emperor Hongzhi looked at Li Dongyang and the other two blankly, and Li Dongyang also said in confusion: "The cabinet has not heard of it."

At this time, the little eunuch ran in again: "Your Majesty, Lord Yan of the Censorate has auspicious signs to report."

As soon as the voice fell, another gatekeeper came in again: "Your Majesty, Lord Mou has auspicious signs to report."

Emperor Hongzhi was dumbfounded. The court had never seen three auspicious signs at the same time.

Outside the palace gate,

Qin Hong didn't care about wearing an official hat. When he saw the report, he ran to the warm room.

This is malaria.

One of the most feared infectious diseases in marching and fighting, Timur suffered from malaria and was defeated by Emperor Wen, which made the Ming Dynasty prosperous.

Zhang Sheng ran after him, panting.

Yan Chengjin saw that they also had urgent reports in their hands, and thought they had received them all.

"I never thought that my son could make such a great contribution in the south." Zhang Sheng sighed, and his eyes became bright.

Curing malaria is not amazing. After all, the recipe comes from the elbow recipe, which has been recorded by the ancients.

However, it has not been taken seriously in later generations.

Qinglong has Qinglongsu itself. It does not need secondary synthesis. It can be obtained by squeezing out the juice and drying it.

In other words, the Ming Dynasty has the technology to make Qinglongsu, but it has not found the prescription.

Yan Chengjin said seriously: "Qingwan production still requires Zhang Yuanxi to stay in Liangxiang."

"You... Don't even think about it!"

This kid is not trustworthy. He made deals with my father and son separately. He is insidious and cunning. Zhang Sheng hates to impeach him immediately.

Yan Chengjin feels it's a pity. It seems that Zhang Yuanxi can only deliberately fail the exam.

At the call of the eunuch, the four entered the warm room together.

Emperor Hongzhi frowned slightly, showing a bit of urgency: "What auspicious sign is this?"

"Your Majesty, the Qingwan sent by the court is effective, please read the urgent report." Mou Bin presented his urgent report.

Malaria has been rampant in the Ming Dynasty for a long time, and there is actually a medicine that can cure it?

Emperor Hongzhi was shocked and numb all over. He quickly asked Xiao Jing to present the urgent report, which only had 500 words.

After reading it, he couldn't help but feel emotional.

"Send Wang Ji to the palace!"

"Your Majesty, Wang Ji is in the harem." Xiao Jing reported.

The weather was hot, and Zhu Xiuyun had a rash on her body. Empress Zhang asked Wang Ji to come to the palace for follow-up visits regularly in the past two days.

Not long after, Wang Ji came to the warm room carrying a brown cowhide medicine box.

"Student Wang Ji, meet your majesty."

"Malaria has been rampant for more than a hundred years. It has killed people since the Yuan Dynasty. You have made great contributions." Emperor Hongzhi held the urgent report in disbelief, and his voice was excited and could not be suppressed.

Qin Hong, Zhang Sheng and others were envious. No one could take away Wang Ji's contribution.

Wang Ji bowed and said, "Thanks to Lord Yan's advice, this credit should belong to Lord Yan."

For this matter, Emperor Hongzhi even specially reprimanded Yan Chengjin, saying that it was an elixir. Thinking about it, I actually blamed him wrongly.

Emperor Hongzhi looked embarrassed and looked at Yan Chengjin: "What does Yan's family want?"

Yan Chengjin lowered his head and thought, of course, I want to be promoted to the Chief Censor.

Liu Jian, Li Dongyang and others seemed to have guessed it and looked at Yan Chengjin with warning eyes.

Qin Hong was a little nervous. If he really let this boy become the censor of the capital, he would not dare to mess with this boy in the court in the future.

Emperor Hongzhi was a little displeased: "I ask you why you have been thinking about it for so long!"

You don't need to ask him to know that this kid wants to be the censor of the capital, or he is thinking about my death-free gold medal.

Ever since he was exposed last time, Emperor Hongzhi felt like he was being missed by a thief.

Yan Chengjin thought for a long time: "I want to be promoted to the imperial censor of the capital, but the cabinet will definitely not allow it if I tell you. So I am thinking of a countermeasure."

Are you too honest?

Li Dongyang and Xie Qian looked strange.

Although he had guessed it a long time ago, when he said it, he felt like he wanted to curse someone.

Xiao Jing looked at Yan Chengjin warily, retreating in order to advance, Your Majesty, you must not be deceived by him.

Emperor Hongzhi hesitated for a moment and found a malaria prescription, which was comparable to the Nine-Border Victory.

It's just that Kubei kills people, and Aomaru saves people.

"According to your words and my decree, Yan Chengjin was promoted to the imperial censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, but the salary is not promoted. I know you have money."

Yan Chengjin secretly spat, on what basis could the minister's salary be deducted at will.

"I thank your Majesty."

Li Dongyang and others were shocked. This son was really promoted to the imperial censor of the Imperial Procuratorate. Although he was only a low-ranking nine ministers, he could really participate in the court discussions and have the power to make decisions.

Liu Jian sighed, what else could he say?

Emperor Hongzhi looked at Wang Ji: "Although Doctor Wang is no longer an official in the court, he has made great contributions. I will give you one thousand taels of silver. Hu Dalong and Zhang Yuanxi will each be given five hundred taels."

With a slight pain in his heart, he continued: "These silvers come from the internal funds."

Being able to pay the reward out of your own pocket shows that Your Majesty is really happy.

"The prescription of Qingwan will be implemented in the Fourteenth Pharmacy and Pharmacy as soon as possible. I don't want to hurt the country anymore."

Liu Jian and others nodded slightly. People are the foundation of the imperial court, just like water carries a boat.

Qingdan is a commonly used medicine, so even if there is an outbreak of malaria, there is no need to worry.

After Yan Chengjin thought for a moment, he bowed slightly: "Your Majesty, I think this is not possible."
