The Ming Dynasty started with caution

Yan Chengjin pondered for a while and vaguely had an idea.

"What is Lord Yang talking about?"

Yang Yiqing looked around the exaggeratedly large study room, and walked to the window while thinking of countermeasures. It was like two people playing chess. How to make this guy speak?

If it comes to strategy, this guy will be weaker than him?

Yang Yiqing looked at the frozen lake, and then turned his head to look at Yan Chengjin beside the desk not far away. I'm afraid that when he came, this guy had already thought about how to deal with him?

"Have you prepared this official's impeachment?"

This guy had impeached him during the Hongzhi period, let alone now, I want to expose him, and the new emperor has a close personal relationship with this guy.

"That's right."

Yang Yiqing raised his head suddenly, his breathing was a little heavy, and he seemed a little angry.

I just mentioned it casually, do you really have it?

Like a dragon and a tiger, he walked to Yan Chengjin and sat down. This official suspected you, and you impeached me, this is the evidence.

"Can you show it to me?"

"It's okay to show it to Lord Yang." Yan Chengjin pulled out a book of impeachment from his sleeve.

Zhang Yong, the censor of the 12th regiment of the Three Borders, reported that the official troops and horses of the Three Borders were about 19,000 less.

The people in the border towns were not happy to be sent to the army due to the reduction of fodder and military pay. Compared with the time when my father was in the Three Borders, the military preparations were reduced.

"What if what you said is true? I am also saving money for the court."

Although Yang Yiqing said so, he was also afraid that Yan Chengjin would present the impeachment.

Putting it in his arms and walking directly out of the mansion, Yan Kesong wanted to say hello, but saw Yang Yiqing snorted and left.

"Chengjin, do you have any handle on Ying Ning?"

Yan Chengjin touched his chin. Yang Yiqing's wisdom was comparable to Yao Chong in the Tang Dynasty. If he had not come into contact with the Tang and Song dynasties, it would be fine, but if he had, he would be suspicious.

Wang Shouren had also been instructed by him, so he must have guessed something.

Half an hour later, Yan Chengjin came to the chessboard in front of the orphanage.

Xiao Jing gently touched the shoulder of the retired emperor Hongzhi, who turned his head and looked at Yan Chengjin with big eyes.

"Master Zhu, can I bother you for a moment?" Yan Chengjin did not reveal his identity.

"It's already happened." The retired emperor Hongzhi said.

"…………I mean, can you please excuse me for a moment?" Yan Chengjin said.

"Zhu is playing chess and has no time to care about you." The retired emperor Hongzhi said.

Yan Chengjin looked at the chessboard, grabbed the white piece from the chess bowl, and in a few breaths, "I won."

"..." The retired emperor Hongzhi.

"..." Xiao Jing.

Standing up with a depressed look on his face, after walking a few steps, the retired emperor Hongzhi said: "I heard that at the New Year's banquet, the Ministry of Personnel had one leg stepped on and broken."

"He asked the new emperor to read the memorial at the banquet, and the new emperor held a grudge, so... However, I think it was an accident."

Yan Chengjin carefully observed the expression of the retired emperor Hongzhi.

Seeing that he was slightly angry, he changed the subject and told him everything about Yang Yiqing's visit to the mansion.

The retired emperor Hongzhi smiled warmly, "Don't you know how to write an impeachment?"

"Yes, I spent a few days writing an impeachment, but it was taken away by Lord Yang, but this time the impeachment is useless."

Yan Chengjin took out two impeachments from his chest.

...

Yang Yiqing was about to go to the Fengtian Hall for the morning court, but was stopped by the eunuch in front of the palace gate.

It was the retired emperor Hongzhi who came to an unknown side hall.

The retired emperor hid from the officials, but today he showed up on his own initiative. It always felt a little strange, "The retired emperor summoned me?"

"Come here, sit down!"

Yang Yiqing was a little flattered. Could it be because he defeated Wala that the retired emperor Hongzhi feasted him alone?

He glanced at the banquet on the table, and then turned his head to look at Xiao Jing standing next to the pillar.

The emperor had given him a banquet before, but sitting at the same table with the emperor... not.

"Do you want me to help you come here personally?"

The retired emperor Hongzhi showed a warm smile on his face.

Yang Yiqing had already started to calculate in his heart. He went to Yan Chengjin's house yesterday.

The retired emperor invited him to a banquet today. Is there a connection between the two...

Did Yan Chengjin report this to the retired emperor...No way, it can't be true?

A terrible thought suddenly emerged in his heart.

Yang Yiqing suddenly raised his head, his legs seemed to be filled with lead, and he moved to the brocade stool next to the retired emperor Hongzhi and sat down, with many questions in his mind.

The retired emperor Hongzhi glanced at Xiao Jing, and Xiao Jing understood and poured wine for Yang Yiqing.

"Pick up your chopsticks, don't pay attention to me. I invited Master Yang here today to ask for something."

"I dare not!"

Yang Yiqing stood up quickly and bowed to the retired emperor Hongzhi, his heartbeat seemed to gradually speed up.

"I heard that you want to expose Yan Qing's family in the court?"

Guessed it right!

Yan Chengjin, the dog official, really went to the retired emperor. Yang Yiqing thought about it and said, "I don't know something, why doesn't the retired emperor tell you?"

There are too many things he can't figure out.

If the retired emperor knew, why did he hide it from you? If it was just Yan Chengjin who planned it, why did the retired emperor know it?

"I don't know what you are talking about."

"..." Yang Yiqing.

Yang Yiqing's eyes were hesitant. After hesitating for a moment, he bowed slightly to the retired emperor Hongzhi and decided to ask clearly.

"I mean Tang and Song!"

The retired emperor Hongzhi frowned slightly and looked out of the palace. Xiao Jing understood and closed the door.

"Alas, I am also in a dilemma. Yan Qing's family sent Ning Wang's troops to Tang and Song and established a new dynasty with the new emperor. If you know, I will not be able to explain to the officials and the world if I don't punish him.

Tang and Song are beneficial to the court. I don't want to punish him, so I am in a dilemma."

The retired emperor Hongzhi said with a tangled face.

Yang Yiqing was a little stunned.

This guy is so crazy for the sake of change... he will not stop until he dies.

At this moment, Yan Chengjin's image... is three inches taller.

"Minister, I understand a little bit..."

At first, he thought Yan Chengjin wanted to establish another dynasty in the Western Regions and proclaim himself king.

But now, he feels that Yan Chengjin's ambition is much higher, far beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Coming out of the side hall, Yang Yiqing was stunned.

He seemed to know a shocking secret, and saw a familiar figure standing outside the hall, as if he had been waiting for him for a long time.

Yan Chengjin pondered for a few times and asked: "Lord Yang, what is your dream?"

Yang Yiqing was struck by lightning, and it took him a long time to recover. It seemed that there was a flame burning in his chest, making him full of vigor.

"My dream... is..."

Xiao Jing on the side was stunned. It was also the first time he saw the power of these words with his own eyes.

…

At the morning court, Zhu Houzhao looked towards the palace gate.

Why hasn’t Lao Gao come yet?

The officials were already a little unhappy and were whispering to each other below.

Jiang Mian said to Zhu Houzhao with some dissatisfaction: “Why don’t we discuss it first?”

“Here he comes, Lord Yan.” Gu Dayong shouted.

Yan Chengjin and Yang Yiqing walked into the Fengtian Palace one after another.

“I want to impeach Yang Yiqing, the general of the three borders!”

Zhu Houzhao’s eyes lit up. Lao Gao wanted to persecute Master Yang. He said: “Show it to me.”

Li Dongyang was at a loss. Yang Yiqing had just returned from the three borders and deserved to be rewarded.

“No!”

Everyone was about to help Yang Yiqing to fight, but heard Yang Yiqing’s voice: “What Lord Yan said is true. I did reduce the military system of the three borders and did not report it to the court. I beg to go to the island country to guard the mines in exchange for Li Zhaofan to return to Beijing!”

Crazy? Is this exile?

Is Yang Yiqing crazy?
