The Ming Dynasty started with caution

Emperor Hongzhi calmed down.

It is not difficult to see that the Jiaziku case was set up by the prince in order to harm Yan Kesong. Yan Kesong was the prince's master. If the prince treated his master like this, how would other masters think of it and how would the world think of the prince.

The Welcoming Pine has a great reputation in the capital and is deeply supported by scholars. If it is not handled properly, it will be known all over the world.

Emperor Hongzhi felt bad for asking Yan Kesong to be the prince's teacher. Now the prince is trying to harm and make things difficult for Yan Kesong in every possible way, which makes Emperor Hongzhi feel bad even more.

It seems that Yan Kesong has been an official in the court for more than ten years and has been serving as an editor. No one recommended him, but he was ridiculed. It was time for promotion.

Taking advantage of Yan Kesong's case of breaking Jiaziku, Yan Kesong was appointed as the censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. He was promoted to the first rank and his salary increased with the official promotion.

Emperor Hongzhi was still angry. He glared at the incompetent Zhu Houzhao and said, "Treason! What's the problem between Yan Qing's family and you? You want to harm Zhongliang like this."

Zhu Houzhao was beaten half to death, but he scratched his neck and said: "Last time, the son came out of the palace for a small visit and told Master Yu Yan's son to keep it secret, but he told Mou Bin, which caused the son to be beaten by his father and mother. , he broke his trust with his father, who is the crown prince, and he is deceiving him, so he punishes his father."

Emperor Hongzhi was furious, but he was speechless and choked. He still couldn't understand why you punished other people's fathers when they broke their trust with you? This is divine logic.

What he didn't know was that Zhu Houzhao also cherished his reputation.

Emperor Hongzhi became even more angry. He had met the son of Yan Qing's family and gave him a bottle of flower dew. He was obviously a polite man, but how could he become a thief when it came to your mouth, Zhu Houzhao? Kuan, could it be possible to deceive and push the blame? After thinking about it, I feel that Zhu Houzhao is just fooling around.

…………

Yanfu,

Yan Chengjin didn't expect that Emperor Hongzhi actually promoted his father to a higher rank. Although the case of Po Jia Zi Mansion was related to it, it was probably inseparable from Zhu Houzhao's case.

According to historical records, Li Mengyang once impeached his relatives Ning Shouhou and Jianchang Bo, but was later framed and imprisoned by the two. After finding out the truth, Emperor Hongzhi felt sorry for himself and gave Li Mengyang several hundred taels of silver to keep.

It is rare for an emperor to "bribe" his subordinates with money in private.

Nowadays, the prince is naughty and has repeatedly harmed his father. It is not surprising that Emperor Hongzhi would do such a thing.

After being promoted to an official position, Yan Kesong wanted to hold a grand banquet at his residence. After Yan Chengjin's various persuasion, it was finally changed to one table, and only the same year of the Hanlin Academy was entertained.

The official ranks of the Imperial Censor and the Editor are similar, but the rank of the first-rank official is among the middle and third ranks, and he is also an important official of the imperial court. This time he is truly worthy of the title of imperial official.

The people who came to Yan's house for the banquet were actually the same people who came to snatch the bride last time.

Luo Qi took a look at the chicken on the plate, but there was no trace of oil on it. She was too stingy, so she asked the host: "How about... ordering two more roast chickens? I'll invite you."

However, Yan Kesong's face was full of enthusiasm: "This chicken is called white-cut chicken. It was created by my family. Brother Jingming wants to try it."

The chicken was white, and you could tell at a glance that it was not delicious. Seeing Yan Chengjin looking at the chicken eagerly, Luo Qi smiled and said, "My nephew, eat it."

The reason why Yan Kesong admires it so much is because this chicken has a great background.

Every morning, He Neng chases after it, exercising no less than two kilometers every day, and persists every day until it is served. He is a veritable running chicken.

It tastes better than free-range chicken.

Yan Chengjin calmly picked up a piece, dipped it in some ingredients and put it in his mouth.

Luo Qi and others all had unbearable expressions on their faces, it must not taste good, right?

Yan Chengjin had no expression on his face and picked up another piece. He didn't say whether it was delicious or not, and just ate it silently.

The third piece...

The Officers and Soldiers Section noticed something in Qu Shen's situation and couldn't help but said: "My officer, let's try it first."

As he spoke, he picked up a piece of white meat, dipped it in some sauce, and put it in his mouth. His eyes flashed with surprise, and he suddenly raised his head to look at Yan Chengjin.

The next moment, the two of them were tacitly understanding each other and eating in silence.

Is it delicious or not? Let me tell you something.

"Brother Yin, how are you?" Luo Qi asked.

Qu Shen said sternly: "I'll eat another piece and you'll be able to taste it. Brother Jingming, please don't disturb me."

After the family banquet, the officials of Hanyuan left. As a return gift, everyone gave a running chicken, and everyone left happily.

Yan Kesong said with emotion: "Although my father has been promoted, he has also offended the prince. I will give a lecture tomorrow. I don't know how he will be in trouble. If you hadn't wanted to get a good name, my father would have really wanted to become an official."

Dad is so optimistic. After the family dinner, he thought about it in hindsight. Will he offend the prince?

He is not in the palace, so he can only pray for his father and accompany him as the Emperor of Death. Unless he takes him to eat, drink and have fun, there is no reason why he should not be offended.

Isn’t this how Liu Jin, the famous leader of the Eight Tigers and the first emperor, started his career?

The next day, Yan Kesong arrived at Youchunfang.

Except for Wang Hao, no one dared to greet him. When they saw him coming, they hid far away.

Although the Jiazifu case is the Crown Prince's fault, the Crown Prince is His Majesty's only son and the Crown Prince. If Emperor Hongzhi is angry, he can't be deposed, right?

Yan Kesong sighed and didn't dare to get too close to him, which he could understand.

It’s human nature and it’s not strange to understand it.

During today's lecture, the prince named Yan Kesong as his teacher. Yan Kesong was waiting in the school hall. After midnight, he knew that the prince would not come, so he simply took out the manuscript and started writing. Cheng Jin said that he would write this book. It will definitely make the prince change his mind. Anyway, it is not too late to wait until the prince comes to give lectures.

Zhu Houzhao deliberately lingered in the East Palace. He had already prepared a reason to embarrass Yan Kesong, but he didn't come to urge him, so he said to Liu Jin: "Go and take a look, why haven't you come to call me?"

Liu Jin went away for a while and then came back: "Your Highness, Yan Kesong is writing a book."

A man, a real man,

The seven-foot body stands on the heaven and the earth.

The queen liked writing these sad and sad books, but Zhu Houzhao was extremely disgusted. He is not a man. This is why he doesn't like Yan Kesong.

A flash of light flashed in Zhu Houzhao's eyes. He neglected his duties while on duty, which made me take advantage of him!

He said to Liu Jin: "Go and steal those manuscript papers, and I will order someone to invite my father."

Liu Jin smiled evilly. The prince was still smart. After receiving the order, he went to Youchunfang again.

At this moment, Yan Kesong was immersed in the book, his thoughts were completely absent from him. There was another person grinding ink beside him, and he was completely unaware of it.

However, as soon as I finished writing one piece of paper that was hanging on the desk, one piece disappeared...

"Fang Dai, the ink is not dry yet, be careful."

wrong! This is the East Palace, how can the room manager get in?

When Yan Kesong suddenly raised his head, the man who was polishing the ink had long disappeared. Also disappearing with him was the manuscript paper he had just written.

Liu Jin spread her legs and ran back to the East Palace: "I got it!"

"Let me take a look!" Zhu Houzhao took the manuscript paper and accidentally caught a glimpse of the word "war".

At this time, Yan Kesong was very anxious. The prince must have stolen it and let his majesty know what to do. He was pacing anxiously in Youchunfang.

"Your Majesty is here!" the eunuch shouted, and officials from Zhan Shifu came out to meet him.

Yan Kesong was very nervous, his forehead was covered with hot sweat, and the manuscript paper had just disappeared. His Majesty happened to come to Zhan Shifu at this time, and he knew immediately that it was another good show planned by the prince.

It’s all my fault for being too impatient!

Emperor Hongzhi looked at Yan Kesong and said sternly: "I heard someone reported that Yan Qing's family is writing books in Youchunfang?"

Wang Hua and other officials looked solemn, and Yan Kesong trembled slightly: "This..."

"Hey, I sent someone to make a false accusation."

Yan Kesong looked up and saw Zhu Houzhao striding back.

Wang Hua and others looked strange. The prince couldn't do anything. What was strange was that he admitted it generously.

Emperor Hongzhi was furious. I have so many things to do every day that I dare not waste time. How dare you treat me calling you here and there as a child's play. You are just about to ask someone to get a whip.

Zhu Houzhao was about to be beaten. He remembered the method Liu Jin taught him and said, "I wanted to endorse my father, so I tricked my father into coming to Zhan Shifu. It's not like I don't know how to endorse, and I don't believe my father." Listen, the king and his ministers work together to manage chaos and share safety and security. If the master accepts loyal advice and the ministers speak out, this is why the agreement between the king and his ministers has been valued since ancient times. If the king is virtuous and the ministers do not correct him, he will not be in danger and will be destroyed... …”

The anger on Emperor Hongzhi's face gradually turned into a smile. The masters of Zhan Shifu thought it was incredible that the prince would endorse it?

After Zhu Houzhao finished memorizing it, Emperor Hongzhi's eyes flashed with tears, and he said happily to Yan Kesong: "I was worried about the talent and learning of the Yan Qing family at the beginning, but the Yan Qing family has taught the prince so many scriptures, which makes me impressed."

Yan Kesong was even more confused. This "monarch and ministers warned" was not taught by his ministers...

Emperor Hongzhi gave Zhu Houzhao a few words and drove back to Fengtian Palace, and the officials of Zhan Shifu also dispersed.

At this time, only Yan Kesong and Zhu Houzhao were left.

Yan Kesong saw Zhu Houzhao's face suddenly change and he faced him angrily.

"Why did Master Yan disparage Cao Cao and praise Liu Xuande in the book? The Wei army is an iron-blooded army, indomitable to heaven and earth, how dare you slander!" Zhu Houzhao read a lot of military books and admired Cao Cao for leading troops in battles, but he always relied on his subordinates. Liu Bei was a bit disdainful of the soldiers.

Yan Kesong didn't know that the prince would be serious about this. He wrote it based on his inferences from historical books. He was not in the mood to argue at the moment and said: "I am guilty of dereliction of duty and slackness. Please punish the prince."

Unexpectedly, Zhu Houzhao said: "You can write it, but these places are wrong. I want to correct them for you."

I saw him asking Liu Jin to bring a pen, sat down and revised it in a decent manner, and also commented on some places. This was written by Zhao Houzhu.

Yan Kesong discovered that the prince's handwriting... was actually pretty good?

It would be a pity for such a talented person to refuse to study seriously, which would be a pity for a generation of wise kings, and it would further strengthen his determination to teach the prince well.

It's just that... the prince seems to be more interested in this book than himself.

A few days later, the new book "The Heroes of the Three Kingdoms Strive for Hegemony" jointly signed by Yingkesong and Zhao Houzhu was quietly released on the market.

Yan Chengjin opened it and saw that this book was far different from the one he originally gave to his father. Liu Bei had become a fake benevolent person, but Cao Cao was actually a righteous teacher?

Who did this?
