The Ming Dynasty started with caution

The next day, Fengtian Palace.

Liu Yu accepted the edict from the new emperor Zhu Houzhao and became the minister of the ministry.

The Supreme Emperor Hongzhi and the princes looked puzzled. After only one night, Liu Yu was delighted to receive the title. He couldn't help but glance at Yan Chengjin out of the corner of his eye.

I don’t know what this guy did.

Yan Chengjin said, "Please ask the Criminal Department and the Second Law Department to interrogate Zhang Yin."

A thin layer of sweat broke out on Liu Yu's forehead.

Taiyuan borders Tatar and is an important border area.

The commander of the guard station is also a high-ranking official of the fifth rank. Who can give Zhang Yin such a high official position and also erase his identity as a traitor?

This man didn't know if he could afford to offend him, so Yan Chengjin just pushed it to him.

The Supreme Emperor Hongzhi nodded without hesitation.

"I obey the decree!" Liu Yu said bravely.

Xingbu Yatang,

The wind in July was a bit hot. Watermelons were placed on the three desks, and confessions were pressed on jade paperweights.

Liu Yu put his hands behind his back and turned to glance at the visitor, "Where is Yan Chengjin?"

"The lower official can take the place of Lord Yan."

Liu Yu secretly scolded Yan Cheng, the golden pheasant thief. If a big fish like Jiangnan were found, his fate would be no better than Wang Hao.

But now that Yan Chengjin is not here, he is the biggest official.

Reluctantly, he sat in the center and presided over the trial. After an hour, he found nothing.

Liu Yu was overjoyed, "Master Fang, I am not targeting Yan Chengjin. Could it be that I made a mistake?"

"It's not impossible. I'll go back and ask."

Zhang Yin's heart moved slightly, and his eyes shone with light. If he didn't confess, his family would be properly settled.

It was worth dying for him alone.

…

Dongnuan Pavilion,

Zhu Houzhao touched his chin seriously and did not play his cards for a long time, "Old Gao, I don't understand something."

"It doesn't matter, the new emperor will propose a price, and I will settle it."

Yan Chengjinhun touched a card nonchalantly.

You don't need to ask to know that the Supreme Emperor wants to send away the beasts in Guanglu Temple, and Zhu Houzhao wants to resettle them, but is afraid of being traced by the factory guards.

Zhu Houzhao's eyes lit up, he turned around and pulled out a banknote from under the bed and handed it to Yan Chengjin.

"Ten thousand taels! You say."

"The solution is for the new emperor to give me another 10,000 taels of silver notes."

Zhu Houzhao's smile gradually disappeared, "You don't want to cheat my money, do you?"

"If I buy the beasts from Guanglu Temple, the Supreme Emperor will have no right to send them away. Do I need a banknote to buy the beasts?" Yan Chengjin asked.

"It seems so."

Zhu Houzhao felt something was wrong, "You buy my beasts, shouldn't you be the one who gives me money?"

"I bought it under false pretenses, so the money should come from the new emperor."

Zhu Houzhao looked astonished and happily took out another banknote: "That makes sense!"

Gu Dayong lowered his head, the muttering in his mouth was gone, the banknotes and animals were gone...

At this time, Fang Xue walked in and bowed to Yan Chengjin: "Sir, Zhang Yin doesn't want to recruit."

Yan Chengjin frowned slightly. To be able to move Zhang Yin to the guard post, the person behind him had a high official position.

The health post where Zhang Yin was located was in Shanxi, and Datong was one of the nine sides.

It needs to be found out as soon as possible.

Yan Chengjin didn't care, "I believe Mr. Liu, he will find out."

…

Chang'an Street, Liu Mansion,

Liu Yu walked into the main hall angrily with his hands behind his back.

Seeing that his expression was abnormal, Liu Ren stood up and asked, "Is there something on your father's mind?"

"Will Yan Chengjin frame his father?" Liu Yu wondered.

If this person cannot be found out, the Supreme Emperor and the princes will not be able to rest at ease.

Shanxi is an important border area. If the Maitreya rebels hold important positions in the border area, it will endanger the stability of the border area.

But if found out, I don’t know how many officials will be implicated.

They are all trying to trick him...

Opening the folding fan, Liu Ren thought for a while, "I thought this was an opportunity."

What nonsense are you talking about? All civil and military officials in the court stared at him as if they were walking on the tip of a knife. If this was not his son, Liu Yu would beat him to death.

"What do you mean?"

"Dad can see it, and so can the Supreme Emperor and the princes. If he can solve it, he will have a place in the cabinet."

Xie Qian's talent was not outstanding in the cabinet.

However, he was promoted to the cabinet by the Supreme Emperor Hongzhi because when Xie Qian was the teacher of the Supreme Emperor in Zhan Shifu, the Supreme Emperor saw that he was upright and worthy of great use.

Liu Yu frowned and looked at his son: "But, how can I investigate the father?"

"Bring Zhang Yin to Liangxiang Haunted House, he believes in ghosts and gods."

Liu Ren looked solemn and said what Yan Chengjin ordered.

…

Early morning, Fengtian Palace,

After reading the memorial from Cai Tong, the governor of Datong, the Supreme Emperor Hongzhi's face tightened and he glanced down.

"The great chief of Wala, Estumu, led his army to the border of Datong and requested tribute trade."

The faces of all the gentlemen are different.

Liu Yu originally stood in the hall with a happy face.

The person who arranged Zhang Yin's promotion has been found out, and he wants to wait until the Ministry of Punishment reports before the person behind the scenes is revealed.

After hearing the words of the Supreme Emperor Hongzhi, his expression froze.

"What do you think?" the Supreme Emperor Hongzhi asked.

Jiang Mian bowed and said: "The two dynasties pay tribute and help each other and benefit each other. I think that we can give the Wala a suitable gift and allow them to enter the customs for trade."

Now that there is no war and the world is at peace, Ming Dynasty can just recuperate and develop its economy.

If Wala is not allowed to enter the customs trade, sooner or later a war will break out, and the north will allocate another military salary.

The gain outweighs the loss!

Zhu Houzhao became interested and said, "I think this is not possible. There is a khan in Oala, Weng Guo Chu, who will lead his troops to invade sooner or later. We cannot let Oala become strong."

This guy is right.

The Tatars have collapsed and no one will organize their troops to move south.

And Wala is a complete army. It is said that one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers. If they are allowed to become strong, sooner or later they will attack the Ming Dynasty again.

In the past, the Ming Dynasty opened the tea and horse trade to the Tatars many times, but they were attacked by the Tatars because the regime did not collapse.

Yan Chengjin said: "The items sold in Wala are five times higher than those of the Ming Dynasty. If things go on like this, it will consume the financial resources of the Ming Dynasty. I agree with the new emperor."

The princes, nobles and gentry like to ride on the horse, which is one of the luxury goods these days.

Although Wala's horses are good, their prices are five times higher than those of Ming Dynasty.

This is a trade deficit.

Zhu Houzhao looked delighted, "My son and Lao Gao both see the same thing."

The Supreme Emperor's face darkened. He didn't want to look at these two guys who were cooperating, and turned to look at Liubu again.

"What do you think?"

Liu Yu lowered his head and hesitated for a moment before walking to the center of the hall and said, "The Supreme Emperor, the person who ordered Zhang Yin to be sealed has been found!"

Yesterday, he took Zhang Yin to the Liangxiang Haunted House and sent someone to dress him up as Maitreya.

Sure enough, I got the news!

Hearing this, the Supreme Emperor Hongzhi sat up straight and stared deeply at Liu Yu: "Who is it?!"

The princes looked back with serious expressions on their faces.

"Wu Dinghou, Guo Xun!"

Yan Chengjin raised his eyes.

really……

He's a high official!

The Supreme Emperor Hongzhi and all the princes were dumbfounded.

Guo Xu's ancestor Guo Ying was once a personal guard of Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang, but he was different from other personal guards.

Brave and resourceful, good at riding and shooting!

Together with Xu Da, Chang Yuchun and others, they followed Zhu Yuanzhang in the southern and northern campaigns, made great achievements, and were later granted the title of Marquis of Wu Ding.

"It could be Marquis Wu Ding?!"

Liu Yu was cursing in his heart, and Yan Chengjinkeng said, "Marquis Wu Ding is guarding Datong now!"

The princes' eyes moved slightly.

Chief Wala led an army to Datong, and the guard was Wu Dinghou.

In this way, it is even more necessary to trade with Wala.
