The Ming Dynasty started with caution
Chapter 530: Against the grain
The more Emperor Hongzhi read the bullets, the angrier he became.
On the bullet, the price of the goods in the market is clearly marked.
Steamed buns cost two cents a piece, paintings and calligraphy cost five taels each, music played in a brothel costs two taels, and obscene music costs five taels. The price is actually the same as the market price.
But why did the prince know the price of the brothel? !
"I...I will never forgive him!"
Emperor Hongzhi was so angry that he almost couldn't help it and spit out the fragrance.
Li Dongyang looked at the bullet, and it was filled with details. How could an emperor on earth go to such a filthy place?
This is a sign of a foolish king.
Liu Jian's face relaxed slightly. My son's bullet is not an impeachment without cause.
At this time, outside the main hall.
Yan Chengjin knew that something would happen, but it was also Zhu Houzhao who was in trouble. Why did Your Majesty summon him?
He really couldn't understand that this time the little eunuch didn't dare to collect money and couldn't get any news.
Not far away, Zhu Houzhao was wearing a royal robe and was a little happy: "Lao Gao, why are you here?"
I have long been accustomed to such scenes. As long as my father does not come to the East Palace in person, I will not be afraid.
"Your Highness is here, why don't you go in?"
"I am waiting for Zhao Banban from Renshou Palace."
Needless to say, this guy must have known that he was in trouble and sent someone to Renshou Palace to ask the Queen Mother for help.
At this moment, the little eunuch came out and announced: "Your Majesty, let His Highness and Master Yan go in."
Yan Chengjin walked into the hall, and Zhu Houzhao also put away his playful expression and became extremely serious.
Yan Chengjin really wondered if this guy had a dual personality, and his face could change faster than the blink of an eye.
This must have come from being beaten too many times by His Majesty.
Zhu Houzhao was polite and bowed slightly: "My son, I have met my father."
Yan Chengjin also bowed slightly: "Your Majesty, Yan Chengjin, has met."
Emperor Hongzhi's sharp eyes swept over and finally landed on Zhu Houzhao: "You were in the East Palace yesterday and ordered people to disguise themselves as traffickers and pawns?"
"My ministers are sympathetic to the sufferings of the people and cannot leave the palace for private visits, so they have to stay in the East Palace..."
Yan Chengjin secretly spat at him, "In Zhu Houzhao's case, everything is contrary to the truth."
Emperor Hongzhi clenched his fists and spat out a few words: "How do you know the prices of brothels in the market?"
Liu Jian and others looked serious and looked at Zhu Houzhao.
The spring night is short and the sun is high, and from now on the king will not go to court early.
His Highness is addicted to beauty at a young age. How will he be able to handle such a big responsibility when he ascends the throne in the future?
Where he went after leaving the palace was a matter of concern to the ministers.
Zhu Houzhao blinked and looked at Emperor Hongzhi: "How did the emperor know?"
Yan Chengjin and Liu Jian looked at Emperor Hongzhi suspiciously.
Speaking of which, His Majesty likes to visit the palace privately, especially at night. The factory guards are tight-lipped and the officials don't know.
Emperor Hongzhi's face twitched slightly: "I'm asking you!"
"My son, listen to what Banban said." Under Emperor Hongzhi's anger, Zhu Houzhao withered.
Liu Jian and others breathed a sigh of relief. The factory guard followed His Royal Highness to the brothel and should report it.
Emperor Hongzhi's expression softened, and he looked at Yan Chengjin again: "Did you come up with the idea of Liu Lai impeaching you for the prince's mischief in the East Palace?"
After reading the bullet, Yan Chengjin bowed slightly: "I have nothing to do with this. Your Majesty will know after interrogating the eunuch of the East Palace."
But Li Dongyang and others believed it. Lying was deceiving the emperor, and he didn't dare.
Liu Jian sighed and told his son not to impeach him. He was not impeaching him. This was a false accusation against Jiu Qing.
He branded Jiu Qing as a treacherous traitor and listed several crimes against the prince.
This matter is not just as simple as a bullet.
My son is too young after all.
Regarding Liu Lai's letter, Emperor Hongzhi looked at Liu Jian: "Liu Lai is a member of the Zhongshu family and slandered Shangguan. He has a tenth imperial staff. What does Master Liu think?"
"I respect His Majesty's will!" Liu Jian was grateful. This punishment was considered light.
Zhu Houzhao was also dragged out and fined with twenty canes.
After coming out of Huagai Hall, Yan Chengjin returned to the Metropolitan Procuratorate, ordered people to find Liu Lai's files, and sat down until the next hour.
When I was off duty, I passed by the Meridian Gate Guangting.
I saw an official holding his waist and walking hard.
Liu Lai saw Yan Chengjin walking towards him, his face full of vigilance.
"The bullets are well written. Are you willing to come to the Metropolitan Procuratorate to be the censor?"
If the fourth division is established, a large number of censors will be needed, and the staffing will be similar to that of the six divisions.
Although he hasn't spoken to His Majesty yet, Yan Chengjin wants to prepare in advance.
Liu Laichang wrote imperial edicts in the Wenhua Palace, and his writing was rigorous. If combined with the laws of the Ming Dynasty, he was a master of writing ballads.
Moreover, the establishment of four divisions in the Metropolitan Procuratorate is tantamount to creating a new world.
It will definitely arouse opposition from hundreds of officials. With Liu Jian speaking out, this matter may only be 50% certain.
Liu Lai looked stunned. He didn't expect Yan Chengjin to come and invite him to join the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
"The lower official... disdains to associate with treacherous ministers!"
Yan Chengjin liked it more and more, impeached hundreds of officials, and Liu Jian took the blame.
After thinking about it carefully, he asked: "What do you think, Your Majesty?"
"Your Majesty is naturally a wise king!"
"But my official position was appointed by His Majesty."
The implication is that if this official is treacherous and rebellious, it will not be established that your Majesty is a wise king.
When Liu Lai saw that he could not argue with him, he said angrily: "I will never go to the Metropolitan Procuratorate even if I die."
"People in Zhongshushe can only copy imperial edicts, but they cannot benefit the people of the world. I know you are talented, but you can't pass the imperial examination. Why don't you come to the Imperial Procuratorate to correct the imperial policy?"
Yan Chengjin had just read Liu Lai's papers. He was a scumbag and couldn't even pass the examination.
It's really hard for him to praise someone for his talent but not recognize it.
After Yan Chengjin left, Liu Lai stopped and was lost in thought. There was no hope for Zhongshushe to be promoted, and he would never be able to deal with court affairs in his life.
The censor is different. Although his official position is low, he can monitor the world.
Back at the mansion, although Liu Jian felt distressed, he ordered: "His majesty showed mercy by punishing the ten major officials with the stick. If Yan Chengjin pursues the case, it will definitely be more than this. Don't impeach him again."
I know my son's nature, as stubborn and strong as he is, and I am afraid that he will be impeached again.
He can also understand that his son failed to pass the imperial examination and felt aggrieved as a civil servant in the Wenhua Palace.
Liu Lai's heart moved, and he returned to the room in a daze. Yan Chengjin did not give him any trouble.
He couldn't help but be swayed by Yan Chengjin's proposal.
His father was a bachelor of the cabinet, but he could not even pass the examination.
Although he never revealed his identity in the palace, the news leaked out, and people in the middle school discussed it privately.
At dinner time, Liu Lai suddenly stood up and said, "Father, my son wants to be the censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate."
Liu Jian was stunned. You just impeached Yan Chengjin today and went to the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Can he let you go?
The court is not a school;
After three dynasties, he naturally knew how to survive as an official in the dynasty.
"How can Yan Chengjin tolerate you?!"
But Liu Lai shook his head: "It was Mr. Yan who invited his son to be the censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate."
Liu Jian hurriedly put down the bowl: "Then you can't go! This man has never been soft on those who impeached him. How could he invite you to be the censor?!"
Something doesn't feel right when I think about it, although I don't know what Yan Chengjin is planning.
But based on his experience, it won't be that simple.
Liu Lai bowed and begged: "Father, my son doesn't want to waste time in the Middle School. Master Yan said that my son's bullets are good, so my son wants to do his best..."
Alas, he must have been deceived by Yan Chengjin again.
Stealing the chicken will lose the rice...
If he tried to comfort his son directly, he would definitely not listen. Liu Jian stroked his beard and said, "My father is a bachelor, and I cannot be selfish. You can stay in the Middle School!"
I was working on the detailed outline today, but I woke up at six o'clock... Sorry for the long wait. The monthly ticket rankings are usually determined at the beginning of the month. Please vote~
