The Ming Dynasty started with caution

Chapter 527 This is my reply

"What good advice does Mr. Li have? Please give it to the students."

Zhun Lao Taishan has handled countless political affairs in more than ten years.

He would naturally have more experience than him in dealing with hundreds of officials.

Listening to the advice of the old minister will give him ideas for solving the problem.

Li Dongyang stroked his beard and said seriously: "Go to Shu to investigate in person, and it will be settled after leaving the capital."

When the limelight passes in two months, the officials will no longer pay attention to the matter.

Yan Chengjin was stunned.

The land of Shu is difficult, and it is difficult to climb to the sky.

There are only a few official roads, and if you are not careful while rushing, you will fall on the plank road.

There is also a miasma of poisonous insects and man-eating mosquitoes.

Bandits are rampant in the southwest, and they often take advantage of the terrain to squat on a hilltop and plunder.

"The official is ill and cannot leave the capital."

Li Dongyang rolled his eyes at him, expecting that he wouldn't go.

"There is another plan. You can tell His Majesty that if you can't think of it, His Majesty won't blame you."

The worst outcome is a miscarriage of justice.

He ordered more than 1,200 officials to be dismissed, causing chaos in Shu, and he was bound to be criticized by the officials.

But you can't ignore it.

And if they harm the people of one area, they will also arouse people's rebellion.

The best way is to leave it to His Majesty and the Cabinet to deal with it, and no matter what the outcome is, it will not be implicated.

"Thank you for your advice, sir."

Three days later, the crow flew away and the rabbit flew away. Today is the day when Yan Chengjin wants to give His Majesty an answer.

All the officials were waiting in front of the door and couldn't wait to discuss it first.

"There is no memorial in the southwest, so it is easy to make a misjudgment."

"Yan Chengjin is timid and cautious. Dong guessed that he would pass the buck."

"This is just a memo from the Metropolitan Procuratorate. There is no point in trying to shirk the blame."

The cabinet and the six ministries stood in front of the queue, listening to the conversation behind them and keeping silent.

At this time, the crowd became noisy and the officials made way.

It was Wang Hua who came.

Wang Hua didn't like Yan Chengjin. Needless to say, it was the hatred of his son.

Since Yan Chengjin became an official, Wang Shouren has been recommended to anyone who loses his head or has a near-death job.

There is a kind of fighting in the court where enemies are recommended to do things that cannot be done. This was how Ma Wensheng was harmed by Wang Zhi back then. He was transferred from the court to Jiubian and then to Shu.

But the strange thing is that Yan Chengjin and Wang Shouren have a close friendship.

"Master Wang is going to court today?" asked the official on the side.

Wang Hua held the Fupai in his arms and snorted coldly: "Sichuan wants to call off more than 1,200 officials. I will go and have a look!"

Although he is an official of the East Palace, he is also a bachelor of Hanyuan and is qualified to accompany Hanyuan's Yanguan to the morning court.

Yan Chengjin stood beside the minister, holding the fluorene tablet, and turned a deaf ear.

At this time, Kunning Palace.

Emperor Hongzhi was coming out of the main hall and heading to Fengtian Hall: "Has that guy Yan Chengjin figured it out?"

Mou Bin reported in a low voice: "I don't know, but... Mr. Li went to Yan Mansion."

Emperor Hongzhi paused slightly.

Li Dongyang should have no contact with Yan Chengjin.

"Go to court."

Xiao Jing nodded, walked quickly to Jinshui Bridge, signaled the young eunuch to ring the golden bell, and then shouted at the top of his lungs: "Go to court!"

Yan Chengjin strode into Fengtian Hall.

After all the officials had made their decision, Emperor Hongzhi took a deep breath and looked at Yan Chengjin: "It's time for me to answer the Yan Qing family's matters concerning Shu."

There was silence in the main hall, and the officials tugged their ears.

They also find this matter very difficult and find it difficult to find a solution.

Liu Jian and Ma Wensheng turned their heads and looked at the Metropolitan Procuratorate opposite.

"Your Majesty is asking you something!"

Wang Hua, who was standing next door, lowered his head and warned.

Yan Chengjin thought carefully and then said: "My answer is that I cannot give an answer to His Majesty yet."

Emperor Hongzhi's face looked like a thundercloud about to rain heavily. You thought about it for three days and just came up with such a sentence?

The officials listened quietly.

"What do you mean by this? It is the duty of the Metropolitan Procuratorate to patrol the southwest, and this is how you reply?" Wang Hua said coldly.

My son is fighting alone overseas, not knowing whether he is alive or dead, and no notes have been sent back.

You eat melon at home every day, it’s delicious and delicious.

Yan Chengjin looked serious: "Only after the assessment can I give an answer to His Majesty."

After the assessment, there will be no misjudgment.

He could understand Wang Hua's mood. It had been three months and no news of Wang Shouren had returned to the capital.

Wang Hua asked coldly: "Do you want to order more than 1,200 officials to enter Beijing?"

There will be big plans for the year soon.

However, some officials have experienced a major annual plan, so they only go to Beijing for assessment once every six years.

Emperor Hongzhi frowned: "Officials come from Shu to the capital, and their entourage and chariots go north together. They need a lot of silver. It is not a good idea to waste money from the people."

When an official travels, no matter how poor he is, he will take a few servants with him.

Why have I never thought of ordering officials to enter Beijing?

"Besides, after coming to the capital, what evidence will be used to evaluate and judge the innocence?" Xiong Gan, the Minister of Punishment, asked.

Yan Chengjin looked at ease: "The Metropolitan Procuratorate sent people to the Shu region to assess each one and present the list to His Majesty."

Emperor Hongzhi was slightly stunned.

It turns out that the assessment he mentioned was to go to Shu for a thorough investigation in person.

This is foolproof.

Wang Hua wanted to ridicule a few words, but when he saw that what he said was reasonable, he was speechless.

"I told you to make the decision, and I will not break my promise. So you will send someone to Shu, and give me a roster in four months."

Emperor Hongzhi is beyond doubt.

Wang Hua bowed slightly: "This matter is of great importance. As the censor of the capital, Mr. Yan should personally inspect the Shu territory."

Li Dongyang turned his head, Wang Hua was so persistent.

"The Censorate has many practical matters and is in charge of thirteen provinces. It is inconvenient for me to leave the capital."

Half an hour later, Wang Hua walked out of the palace with a sad face.

It was a bit regretful that Yan Chengjin could not leave the capital.

If Yan Chengjin left the capital, no one would recommend Wang Shouren.

My son will be safe in this life.

"Yan Chengjin, my son is obviously a civil official, but you always let him be a military general. What is your intention?" Wang Hua argued with a red face.

"Why do you have to do this, Lord Wang? Brother Bo'an will definitely come back safely."

Wang Hua was furious: "You said it easily! He is alone."

…………

In the duty room of the Censorate,

Yan Chengjin was thinking about who to send to Shu. It was not a joke to dismiss more than 1,200 officials.

Even Zheng Qian only knew the law and wrote impeachment letters, but he was far inferior to Fang Xue and Wang Shouren in investigating cases.

Not to mention Jiang Wen and the other two.

No matter who was sent, Yan Chengjin was worried.

Zheng Qian led Jiang Wen and the other two into the duty room and bowed to him respectfully.

"What do you want, sir?"

"The Censorate wants to thoroughly investigate more than 1,200 officials in Shu. Who of you is willing to go?"

Zheng Qian bowed without hesitation: "I am willing to go."

Jiang Wen followed: "I am willing to go!"

I have heard that Shu is full of mountains and rugged terrain.

Xu Tianxi and Zhang Jiyu hesitated for a moment before following: "I am willing to go too."

Two seconds later, Yan Chengjin had reassessed the loyalty of the two.

Zheng Qian and the other four looked up slightly, wondering who sir Yan was going to send?
