The Ming Dynasty started with caution

Wang Hua looked like he was going to beat someone up: "Just now, 'You cannot know anything by studying things, and the principles of saints are questionable.' Did you, the traitor, say that?!"

Yan Chengjin was afraid that he couldn't defeat Wang Shouren, but unexpectedly, his father was here!

"I can testify that this is what Brother Bo'an said." He let out a bad breath and suddenly felt very comfortable.

Wang Shouren had a dark look on his face.

Wang Hua was so angry that he jumped on his feet: "You evil son! How dare you question the saint's teachings! Kneel down!"

Wang Shouren had no choice but to kneel on the ground obediently.

Wang Hua was a child prodigy. He studied Zhu Cheng's Neo-Confucianism and the sage's books since he was a child. He took the sage's principles as the foundation for his life. It can be said that he was the representative of Confucianism in the Ming Dynasty and was deeply supported by the gentry.

It is said that before Wang Hua won the first prize, a wealthy gentleman asked him to be a private school teacher and asked his concubine to sleep with Wang Hua and borrow seeds to improve the family's genes. This shows how popular he was.

How could a person who believed in the saint's teachings allow his son to question the saint's teachings?

It's a coincidence that Wang Shouren was also a child prodigy since he was a child, but his purpose of learning the knowledge of saints was completely different from Wang Hua. He was as rebellious as Zhu Houzhao since he was a child.

To question the saint's teachings is so outrageous!

Yan Chengjin knew that Wang Hua would give Wang Shouren a good beating without him having to say anything.

Wang Hua scolded: "Why are you learning to read!"

"To be a saint, you must establish your mind for heaven and earth, establish your destiny for the people, inherit your unique knowledge for the past saints, and create peace for all generations!" Wang Shouren said solemnly.

Wang Hua sneered: "You want to be a saint?"

There is nothing in the world that is more devastating than your own father's ridicule. Even Yan Chengjin felt his heart tremble when he heard it.

Wang Shouren became angry when he heard this: "Why can't my son be a saint? Confucius is a human being, and his son is also a human being. Confucius is proficient in the six arts, and his son is also proficient in the six arts. Therefore, Confucius can become a saint, and his son can also become a saint!"

Wang Hua couldn't restrain himself and took off his belt and wanted to beat Wang Shouren.

Wang Shouren was calm and calm: "This is the palace, and my son is already a court official. If my father hits me, he is beating a court official. According to the criminal law, he can be jailed!"

Wang Hua staggered back a few steps, as if he had aged many years in an instant: "Okay, you have grown up, become an official, your wings have become strong, I can't hit you anymore, haha"

This Wang Shouren is a stubborn cow!

Yan Chengjin secretly swore that if he gave birth to such a son, he would beat him to death and die cleanly.

Wang Shouren stood up without any explanation and walked towards the duty room of the Criminal Department.

After he walked away, Wang Hua sighed: "I have taught talented people all over the south of the Yangtze River. I have taught the emperor and the prince, but I can't teach my son alone. It's ridiculous, it's really ridiculous."

In fact, Yan Chengjin wanted to comfort him. You are not an exception. There are many extremely knowledgeable people, but their children are not good at all. They even become scum. This is normal, okay...

"Perhaps Brother Bo'an has his own ideas?"

Wang Hua sighed, waved his hand, and went to Zhan Shifu.

………………

Early the next morning,

In the morning, Yan Chengjin was waiting in Fengtian Hall.

Before Emperor Hongzhi arrives, the officials will hold a small meeting in advance to discuss major issues of the government and the public.

The location of the Metropolitan Procuratorate is in the left column of the hall, and Yan Chengjin stands next to the pillar in the hall.

Emperor Hongzhi slowly walked up to the throne, faced the officials, looked a little serious, and said in a deep voice: "Reports came back from the border, the fire sieve is invading Datong, and plundering everywhere!"

Indignant voices arose from the ministers.

Liu Jian strongly recommended: "Your Majesty, why not order Datong's commander-in-chief Ma Sheng and Weiyuan's general Wang Gao to jointly defend against the enemy!"

Yan Chengjin fell into deep thought. He remembered that the Ming Dynasty sent Ma Sheng and Wang Gao to meet the enemy, but Ma Sheng died in the battle and only the guard Wang Gao escaped.

The Fire Sieve is the most ferocious branch of the Little Prince. They are good at marching and fighting. They have a great reputation on the grassland, and they even understand the Han people's art of war better than many Ming generals.

Originally, the Battle of Helan Mountain dampened the spirit of the Tatars and allowed the Ming Dynasty to gain temporary stability.

If they lose this battle to the Tatars, the Tatars will definitely be boosted in morale and will start invading the border areas again. By then, all nine sides will have no peace.

Guards are extremely important.

Wang Gao's shortcomings are that when the enemy is strong, he will be insignificant and will not advance; when the enemy is weak, he will be greedy for success and rush forward.

If he attacks this battle, he will definitely lose.

Yan Chengjin took a step forward and said in a just right voice: "I have something to say, do you know whether I should say it or not?"

Although he couldn't see anyone, Li Dongyang knew it was Yan Chengjin when he heard the words "Speak when it's right and when it's not."

Emperor Hongzhi's expression remained as usual: "It doesn't matter if the Yan Qing family just says so."

"I think that the Tatars were defeated in the battle at Helan Mountain and still dare to come this time. They must have made sufficient preparations and cannot deal with them by ordinary means. It would be better to let the British Duke lead the Beijing camp to go there, which would be more difficult. Guaranteed."

Among the generals in the capital, Yan Chengjin did not trust any of them. The one he trusted the most was Wang Shouren, but Wang Shouren was a civilian official, not a military general!

The second is Wang Yue. Wang Yue wants to stay in the capital as his own bodyguard. When he goes to the border, there will be no one to protect him.

Therefore, when choosing a taller one among the short ones, Yan Chengjin chose Zhang Mao.

"A mere censor dares to advise on military affairs?"

"Do you know that lives on the front line are at stake, and this is not the time to make excuses."

The censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate usually likes to interject a word or two and impeach if nothing happens. The Ministry of War has long been unhappy.

Yan Chengjin knew that they were not dealing with the people they were dealing with. He had just been promoted to censor and was not familiar with military literature, so his words would not be taken seriously.

If he were an official in the Ministry of War, he probably wouldn't believe the words of a censor.

Emperor Hongzhi didn't seem to take it seriously: "What does the Ministry of War think?"

"Only one branch of Huoshi is attacking. Our Ming Dynasty has Weiyuan and Datong armies to resist together. We have an advantage in terms of military strength. We should be fine!" Ma Wensheng said.

He believed that suppression by force was the first element of the art of war.

"Then pass my order. Wang Gao, the Weiyuan guard general, will be the guerrilla general, and Deng Hong will be the capital commander. They will lead Datong's ministries to attack the bandits!"

After leaving Fengtian Hall, Wang Yue said to Yan Chengjin: "Wang Gao has always been arrogant and arrogant. When he was under my account, he was often scolded by me. I'm afraid he will suffer in this battle."

Wang Yue was a general who had experienced hundreds of battles, and Wang Gao had stayed under his tent. He could tell that Yan Chengjin was not surprised.

Yan Chengjin was surprised: "Since you know this, why didn't you tell your Majesty just now?"

Wang Yue looked around and saw that there was no one around, then he said: "The Ming Dynasty has always ruled the world with civility. In the previous dynasty, when military officers with the same rank met civil officials, they all had to kneel down and salute. How could military officers have the right to speak? If you don't understand, just look at the Ministry of War. You know, the Ministry of War is called the Ministry of War, but they are all civilian officials."

The old cunning man knew that Emperor Hongzhi would not listen to his advice, so he simply said nothing.

After leaving the Meridian Gate, Yan Chengjin was shocked by the scene in front of him.

I saw an old Confucian scholar chasing Wang Hua with a bamboo stick. Wang Shouren couldn't stop him even if he wanted to.

Wang Hua was the emperor's teacher. Who was so bold as to beat the emperor's teacher at the Meridian Gate?

This gentleman was very bold, swearing and swearing, and he was obviously very angry. However, Yan Chengjin was curious, what on earth had Wang Hua gotten into that caused such a big reaction from this old Confucian scholar?

The Jin Yiwei were at the side, but no one came up to help.

Yan Chengjin was thinking about whether to apply for an official position for Wang Hua.

The old scholar was so angry that he was out of breath: "Kneel down, I!"

"Father, this is the Meridian Gate, and I am an official of Zhan Shifu..." Wang Hua looked embarrassed.

The old Confucian was so angry that he knocked the bamboo stick in his hand: "So what if you become an official! I can't control you once you become an official? Kneel down!"

There was a lot of discussion around him, and Wang Hua made a sound and really knelt down.

"Don't get up before Yun'er and I leave!"

After all, the old Confucian scholar saved some face for him and didn't want to let Wang Hua kneel for too long.
