The Ming Dynasty started with caution

The next day, early in the morning.

Arriving at the Duchayuan duty room, Yan Chengjin regained control of the Duchayuan. The biggest benefit was not promotion.

But no more reviewing memorials.

The amount of memorials from the cabinet was astonishing.

Especially after the reform, unusual situations occurred in various places.

The Tatars became the governors of the Ming Dynasty, the tea-horse trade market was reopened, and the Tatars could enter and leave the border cities of the Ming Dynasty.

Racial conflicts arose.

The amount of memorials soared like a rocket.

In the Duchayuan, Zheng Qian and Liu Lai would review the memorials, and only important matters would be submitted.

"Fang Xue's Tongzhou section has been repaired. I will return to Beijing in the next two days. I will ask for Fang Xue's promotion to the Left Vice-Chief Censor." Yan Chengjin thought to himself.

With Fang Xue reviewing memorials in the Duchayuan, besides drinking wolfberry tea, he would wait for the next duty.

Zheng Qian walked in with a serious expression: "Sir, Lord Cao has requested to retire."

Being imprisoned, the reputation of the official was ruined. Cao Yuan was tough and came from a famous family. How could he endure such humiliation?

He asked to retire without asking a few questions.

Yan Chengjin said: "Does your majesty know?"

Cao Yuan is very smart. If he implicates Wang Yuncheng, he may be exiled and sentenced to death.

As long as the censors find clues, he can be sentenced to death even if he is innocent.

Retirement, retirement without injury, is the best policy.

"Lord Wang Ao went to the Qianqing Palace in person." Zheng Qian said.

At this time, Qianqing Palace.

Emperor Hongzhi was wearing a slim dress and sitting on a futon. The small imperial table in front of him was filled with green cakes.

On the small imperial table, the book "Guan Zi" had been placed for an hour, but no page had been turned.

Xiao Jing knew that his majesty had something on his mind, so he dismissed the servants in the hall to avoid being an eyesore.

Wang Ao bowed and said, "Your Majesty, Cao Yuan has requested to retire."

The Emperor Hongzhi's eyebrows moved slightly, but his face was calm.

The hall was quiet. Wang Ao thought he didn't hear it, but when he looked up, he found that His Majesty was looking at him.

"What did Cao Qing's family say?"

Wang Ao said, "We haven't found too many clues yet. I am sure that he has a private relationship with Wang Yuncheng. I came to ask Your Majesty if you can confiscate his house?"

Confiscation of the house is more convenient for a thorough investigation, and the details are clear at a glance.

But Cao Yuan is a second-rank official of the court.

"Allow him to retire."

Wang Ao sighed in his heart. His Majesty is still too lenient. He should be like the Qin Dynasty, rectifying the administration and enforcing the law.

The Emperor Hongzhi's mind is in the clouds, and the corruption of officials in the world has been repeatedly banned.

Yan Chengjin often said that except for the capital, the thirteen provincial governments are still poor and hungry, and can't eat enough.

But he didn't believe it. The people in the capital city were rich and had money. Even if the thirteen places were so poor, could they be cannibalistic?

After a long time, he uttered a few words: "I want to tour the south."

You can't just listen to one side. Even if Yan Chengjin is 100%, he will say it's only 10%. Even in the prosperous times, he will say it's barely enough to eat and wear.

Xiao Jing's eyes widened. Your Majesty would just visit the south on weekdays, but he also wants to go south to the south of the Yangtze River?

This is not a joke.

Wang Ao was shocked: "If Your Majesty goes south, who will take care of the important affairs of the court? The waste along the way will also disturb the people along the way."

There are many affairs in the court, which is one of the reasons why the emperor cannot leave the capital.

Once he leaves, he will be considered lazy and derelict in his duty, and incompetent!

There are also accompanying ceremonial vehicles. When the emperor travels, there must be tens of thousands of guards. The food, drink, and defecation of these people is a huge waste.

It is no less than mobilizing the army to fight.

"I want to go south to see what's going on in the prefectures and states?" The Hongzhi Emperor's eyes were firm.

Wang Ao wanted to say something else, but was stopped by the Hongzhi Emperor, and Xiao Jing asked him to leave.

After leaving the Qianqing Palace, Wang Ao came to the cabinet.

Liu Jian lost his voice: "Your Majesty wants to go south for a tour?"

Your Majesty kept it a secret from the officials, and visited them late at night, but they turned a blind eye.

Now, his behavior shows signs of a prince.

Wang Ao nodded: "Wang Yuncheng embezzled money, and Your Majesty wants to visit in person to deter local officials."

The court sent the governor-general to investigate in various places and send the memorials back to the capital.

But after all, it was not a permanent stay, and it was difficult to guard.

"Your Majesty is determined and difficult to shake."

Xie Qian worried: "If Your Majesty leaves Beijing, who will control the government?"

Donggong,

Zhu Houzhao looked at the little eunuch, widened his eyes and looked angry: "The dog emperor wants to go south for fun?"

The little eunuch knelt on the ground and dared not respond.

Zhu Houzhao asked again solemnly: "Will you take me and the grandson with you?"

Yan Chengjin rolled his eyes at him, "Do you think the whole family is going outing together?"

The young eunuch did not dare to answer, and could only stammer: "I heard from the adults in the cabinet that it seems that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will preside over the government."

"I knew he wanted me to be the regent!" Zhu Houzhao jumped up in anger.

Yan Chengjin looked at the young eunuch: "What do you think?"

"Ministers such as Liu Gong and Xie Gong, as well as ministers from the six ministries and nine ministries, went to the Qianqing Palace." The young eunuch said.

Zhu Houzhao had heard that Jiangnan was fun, and there were fireworks and painted boats, and beautiful singing girls, but he had not seen them yet.

"It just so happens that I also want to go south."

"Where are you going, Your Highness?"

"To the Qianqing Palace, let my father take me and the grandson with me."

Zhu Houzhao strode out of the bedroom like a 100-meter sprint.

At this time, the Qianqing Palace.

Old ministers such as Liu Jian stood outside the palace gate and bowed to dissuade him.

"Your Majesty is a born wise saint. You must not be infected with bad habits. The southern tour not only disturbs the people, but also wastes money and labor, and no one is in charge of the government affairs." Li Dongyang bowed.

"Mr. Li is right. We should restrain our selfish desires and strive to make progress."

The dissuasion of the princes is like a monk reciting sutras.

Emperor Hongzhi said: "The Tatars have been pacified and there is no danger in the north. Why can't I leave Beijing?"

"Although the Tatars have been removed, there are still tiles. Don't underestimate them!" Liu Jian said bitterly.

Emperor Hongzhi was a little annoyed: "The princes are courtiers, and they pay the rent and taxes while sitting at home. If I sit in the palace and don't think about the people, the emperor's career will be ruined sooner or later."

The princes were immediately speechless. Isn't it just a small visit to understand the sentiments of the people?

Yan Chengjin also thinks it makes sense.

The capital was prosperous, but the local area was poor. Emperor Hongzhi would mistakenly think that other places were as prosperous as the capital if he didn't go out and see.

Even in later generations, leaders inspected everywhere.

However, it will be more convenient in later generations.

Zhu Houzhao walked into the hall and bowed: "Masters, you are right. If my father leaves the palace and disturbs the people, morality will be corrupted and the glorious holy name will suddenly disappear.

The sons and grandsons are willing to patrol the south of the Yangtze River for their father and bear this bad reputation. "

The princes looked at Zhu Houzhao dumbfounded, you are such a clever little kid, why are your skin so itchy?

Emperor Hongzhi had a murderous look in his eyes and glared at Zhu Houzhao, but did not scare Zhu Houzhao away.

However, I am not in the mood to punish today.

Li Dongyang saw Yan Chengjin: "The emperor's hunting tour is no small matter. Please advise your majesty."

The gazes of all the princes fell on Yan Chengjin.

Yan Chengjin's face was like a breeze, and the water was calm, "When does Your Majesty want to go on a hunting tour?"

I have heard that choosing a good and auspicious day can bring good weather to the world. "

All the princes looked shocked!

Yan Chengjin did not even try to dissuade such a major matter that wasted money and wasted people.

Liu Jian and others frowned, a little angry.

Emperor Hongzhi's expression softened a little. The Yanqing family understood me, "I asked Qin Tianjian that the auspicious day for the inspection will be in six days. The Ministry of Rites will coordinate with the Director of Rites to prepare."

Hunting patrols indeed waste people and money.

Playing will make you addicted, and it is easy to become addicted and slack off. Once you relax, it will be difficult to tighten up.

Emperor Hongzhi has run away, will Zhu Houzhao stay in the capital?

Yan Chengjin's eyes moved slightly. Six days later means that there will be six days for His Majesty to give up the idea of ​​hunting.

Please give me monthly votes and recommend votes. I will update more quickly in the next two days and pay back the chapters I owe.
