The Ming Dynasty started with caution

Yan Chengjin smiled: "Of course I won't take it to heart, everyone is for the court."

The imperial edict from the secretariat was sent to the Hanyuan.

Before printing, the Hanlin had to count the number of books in the collection, record them in the book, and then send them to the Jingchang of the Silijian to prevent loss.

"Sir Yan, the printing cost 13,200 taels, 8 coins and 6 cents of silver, what do you think?" Xiao Jing said with a smile.

Xiao Jing is really not a man, he even counted the decimals. Yan Chengjin said: "Thank you, eunuch Xiao, send the factory guards to Liangxiang to get the silver."

The treasury of Liangxiang is going to be empty again.

Not only do you have to pay for printing books, but you also have to build a library in Liangxiang.

In the past two days, Wang Bushui called on the refugees in Liangxiang to start construction, right next to Changqing Academy.

"I heard from Mr. Wang that he wants to build a library."

"It's better to build it next to the academy so that my son Liang Xiaoyi can borrow books in the future."

It was a temporary instruction to build a library here. Cheng Minzheng and Wang Yue were not aware of it. They sighed at the grace of His Majesty, but there was a problem.

Who will name this library?

Wang Yue coughed dryly: "Brother Keqin, the name of this building is more difficult for me. I will choose it. I won't bother you."

This building will surely be famous all over the world. How can I give it to you, Mr. Chuanshi.

Cheng Minzheng smiled and said: "How dare I bother Brother Shichang? I will choose it. I have thought about it. It will be called Qingshan Book Building."

Bah!

Did your face get eaten by a dog?

Wang Yue almost spit on his face. He nodded and smiled: "It will be passed down from generation to generation from now on. I think it is more appropriate to call it Chuanshi Building."

Cheng Minzheng frowned slightly and stopped talking.

Wang Bushui saw that the two men were about to fight, and hurried to tell Yan Chengjin.

"Sir, I think we should call it the Yingkesong Book House?"

It was newly built by Young Master Yan, and if it was called this name, both families would have no objection.

"Call it Qingshan Chuanshi Book House, and let the world know that this was built by Qingshan Jun and Chuanshi Xiansheng for refugees from Liangxiang, and all scholars in the world can read it." Yan Chengjin said casually.

Wang Bushui hurriedly arranged for someone to spread the news.

Cheng Minzheng and Wang Yue smiled with satisfaction when they heard it. The name of Yingkesong was not on it. After thinking carefully, they felt that they were treating Yan Chengjin unfairly, so they each paid for the construction of Qingshan Chuanshi Building.

When the news came out, all the scholars in the capital raised their hands to their foreheads. They did not know the names of Qingshan Jun and Chuanshi Xiansheng, but they received such a great favor, and they were glad that the Ming Dynasty had such great scholars.

In the Censorate,

Yan Chengjin was forced to do business, and it was not easy to impeach a Minister of Rites.

Fu Han showed too few flaws, and there are not many records about him in historical materials.

If he is not careful, he will be rebounded.

But Fu Han will obviously become an obstacle to his promotion in the future. As long as there is a threat, he must not be kept.

Otherwise, he may end up like Cheng Minzheng, who was calculated and retired to his hometown.

"Before impeachment, you must first find the corresponding crime." Yan Chengjin silently opened the impeachment book "Da Ming Law" and sighed in his heart: "There are too few crimes that can be put on Fu Han."

Dai Shan came over and smiled: "My nephew is looking through the Da Ming Law again. Who do you want to impeach this time?"

"I want to impeach the Minister of Rites, Fu Han." Yan Chengjin said loudly.

The eyes of the surrounding censors lit up.

Dai Shan was puzzled: "Huh?"

"Master Fu has land donated in Liangxiang, and I have heard that Hua Chang, who was involved in Cheng Minzheng's fraud case, was instructed by Fu Han." Yan Chengjin said.

"How did you know?"

Dai Shan's face darkened, and Yan Chengjin knew that it seemed that there was indeed a rumor in the palace that Fu Han was the mastermind behind the fraud case.

"The fraud case is over, my nephew, please don't mention it again. His Majesty doesn't like people to mention it again."

"If this is true, the Censorate is derelict of duty! How can it be called His Majesty's eyes and ears?" Yan Chengjin said righteously.

He didn't want to impeach Fu Han, but just told the censors beside him: Brothers, big business is coming!

Sure enough, the censors' eyes flickered.

The next morning,

Yan Chengjin lined up at the Zuoye Gate, waiting for the bell to ring, and entered the Fengtian Hall for the morning court.

"I heard that the Censorate impeached the Minister of Rites last night?"

"Your Excellency is well-informed, and I just found out."

Yan Chengjin said to Li Dongyang.

"Why did I hear that you instigated it?" Li Dongyang's piercing eyes seemed to want to strip Yan Chengjin's clothes and see through his heart.

"I am ashamed to say that I just mentioned it yesterday, and before I could impeach him, my colleagues took the credit."

You call this a credit?

You should behave like a human being in the Censorate!

The ministers around him cast indignant glances, wishing to eat Yan Chengjin alive, this bastard.

Feeling threatened, Yan Chengjin quickly added: "I have always been cautious. I will not impeach unless there is solid evidence."

The ministers' eyes turned calm.

Fu Han looked at Yan Chengjin. He didn't know what specific crimes he was impeached for. Hearing that it was not Yan Chengjin who impeached him, he felt much more at ease.

Ding...

The bell rang, it was time to go to court.

The civil and military ministers entered the Fengtian Hall in an orderly manner.

Yan Chengjin stood in a corner next to the pillar. Today was relatively peaceful. There was a personnel transfer. The cabinet recommended Sun Xu, the Censor of Zhejiang Censorate, as the Governor of Zhejiang Provincial Administration.

"You all may leave, but the Chief Censor and the Minister of Rites will stay." said Emperor Hongzhi.

The Censors of the Censorate are different from those of other government offices. They have great freedom in impeachment and can directly send the memorial to Emperor Hongzhi without Dai Shan.

After the work is done, they will leave, hiding their merits and fame.

This is the highest realm of impeachment.

Yan Chengjin retreated slowly.

Zeng Jian sighed: "I was also impeached. Jiang Rong, the censor of the Nanjing Metropolitan Procuratorate, impeached me, but your majesty only retained Fu Han. As a relative, your majesty has become somewhat alienated from me."

"Master Fu's matters may be more important."

"I heard that although you were not the one to impeach, you were the one who initiated the impeachment. Once the memorial is written, it will be difficult to back off. Fu Han is impatient, so be careful." Zeng Jian reminded him intentionally or unintentionally.

…………

Fu Mansion,

"This guy is really untrustworthy!"

Although it was Wang Yue who impeached him, this was Li Daitao's impeachment. Fu Han was pacing in the study, not daring to enter the palace rashly for fear of being questioned by his majesty.

"Call the steward and the accountant!"

The steward and the accountant came to the study room and greeted each other with smiles. Fu Han raised his hand and slapped him in the face. There was a loud snap, which made them both want to cry but were stunned.

"Which of you betrayed me?" Fu Han glared.

"Sir... what are you talking about? You're beating someone... Can you tell me clearly that you're doing it? The villain was beaten incomprehensibly."

The steward said aggrievedly.

"If you hadn't betrayed me, how would Yan Chengjin know how many acres of land I have?!" Fu Han raised his leg and kicked him hard.

"Master, be gentle... my back hurts..."

What made Fu Han angry was that the housekeeper and accountant who had been serving him for more than ten years sold him without blinking an eye.

After venting his anger, Fu Han calmed down. Your Majesty will definitely investigate after seeing this.

"Let's see what Jin Yiwei can find out."

Fu Han went to court with a smile as usual, but when he saw Yan Chengjin, he turned around and left.

"Hello, Mr. Fu."

Without reaching out to hit the smiling man, Fu Han coughed a few times. After the weather turned cooler, he contracted the wind and cold. He said patiently: "Did you ask Wang Yue to impeach me?"

Seeing him coughing, Yan Chengjin quickly took out the mouth of the human cage and put it on, then took a few steps back and said, "No!"

Fu Han's eyes widened. He didn't expect that this boy wouldn't admit it?

Yan Chengjin continued: "As a censor, the official is responsible for inspecting the government and the public, and maintaining the discipline of the court. This is the official's duty. How can he be impeached for nothing?"

"I don't have that many acres of land, and I don't have much to contribute. You don't want to impeach me anymore." Fu Han coughed and said in a bad mood.

If I had known earlier, I would not have argued with him in court.

"I believe that Mr. Fu is innocent."

You wrote down the number of acres so clearly and you said I am innocent? Fu Han was too lazy to talk nonsense to this boy and walked away.
