The Ming Dynasty started with caution

"What is the use of this embassy?" Liu Jian was surprised.

Emperor Hongzhi and Li Dongyang were confused. The Ming Dynasty had never set up such an embassy in any country.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, it won't cost any money." Yan Chengjin first addressed his Majesty's concerns and said: "Your Majesty was deceived by Lord Yanshan because he didn't know the situation in North Korea. With the embassy, ​​the news can be sent back to the Ming Dynasty at any time."

In addition, the tributary relationship between the two dynasties can be maintained.

It doesn't sound like there's any harm in not spending too much money.

The Ministry of Household Affairs frowned at Han Wen: "Even if the Ming Dynasty embassy is to be established, why must Cheng Minzheng be sent there?"

"Yes, your goal is to reinstate Cheng Minzheng, right?"

Wang Hao, the left servant of the Ministry of Personnel, said.

Thirty-six methods of debate in the court...

If you can do it, go ahead, if you can't do it, leave it alone.

Yan Chengjin had already made various preparations before entering the palace.

"This official will be in North Korea for many years. Which official is willing to volunteer?"

For a time, all the ministers were ashamed and pretended not to hear.

Korea suffered from the Wuwu Disaster first, and then the Jiawu Disaster.

It's like purgatory on earth.

In comparison, Daming is heaven.

A down-and-out phoenix is ​​not as good as a chicken, so you would be a fool to leave!

Yan Chengjin continued: "Your Majesty still remembers the refugees in Liangxiang. When they first came to Liangxiang, they were crude and crude. Only after being taught by Cheng Minzheng did they know the laws of the Ming Dynasty."

"For this reason, Cheng Minzheng stayed dormant in the thatched shed for nearly half a year."

"There are few people in the world who have such courage."

Emperor Hongzhi's face moved slightly. He knew that Cheng Minzheng was a refugee in a good hometown.

The imperial examination fraud case has nothing to do with Cheng Minzheng.

However, in order to calm the anger of scholars all over the world and show that the talent promotion ceremony was fair, Cheng Minzheng was dismissed from his official position.

It sounds like he is cowardly.

"What do you think?"

Liu Jian shook his head: "I don't know either."

Li Dongyang, Xie Qian and others' eyes moved slightly. They had personal relationships with Cheng Minzheng.

From the bottom of my heart, I hope that Your Majesty can restore Cheng Minzheng to his official position and be used by the imperial court again.

Yan Chengjin thought for a while and said cautiously: "This will be of great benefit without any harm."

Emperor Hongzhi took a deep breath, as if he had made great determination, and said: "According to my decree, restore Cheng Minzheng to his official position! Go to North Korea as an envoy and establish our Ming Dynasty embassy."

"Thank you for your grace!"

Come out of the palace,

Yan Chengjin returned to his mansion and ordered He Neng to deliver the letter to Liangxiang himself.

…

Good countryside, thatched shed.

Cheng Minzheng was holding a book and explaining "Extensions of the University" with a smile, when a dirty refugee walked in carrying a baggage.

At first glance, I realized it was He Neng from the Yan Mansion.

Cheng Minzheng opened the letter as usual. When he read the letter, he was stunned.

After a long time,

Cries of joy and sorrow spread.

"Sir, what's wrong with you?" Liang Xiaoyi asked with concern.

"Ming Zhao, sir, the officer has been reinstated!"

Cheng Minzheng hugged Liang Xiaoyi and Liang Xiaoer and cried loudly.

The students in the house didn't know why they could be dismissed, so they whispered to Cheng Minzheng: "Your Excellency, please enter the palace quickly."

Cheng Minzheng fetched a bucket of water, closed the door, freshened up, and put on his official uniform.

Liang Zhong came back pushing the sesame cake cart and was shocked when he saw Cheng Minzheng, "Qingshan, are you really...really Mr. Qingtian?"

Cheng Minzheng bowed slightly, cupped his hands and said, "I'd like to trouble Mr. Liang these days."

The refugees were shocked when they saw Cheng Minzheng wearing a bright red official uniform, but they were more disappointed because they would never hear Cheng Qingshan's stories again.

Dongnuan Pavilion,

In the main hall, there were only Emperor Hongzhi and Cheng Minzheng, his master and apprentice. Cheng Minzheng knelt on the ground, his body trembling slightly: "I thank your Majesty for your forgiveness."

"I heard that you disguised yourself as a refugee and civilized the refugees in Liangxiang."

Cheng Minzheng blushed: "I am ashamed."

"It is difficult to find another person like Master Cheng in the whole world." Emperor Hongzhi sighed with emotion.

Cheng Minzheng was flattered. He didn't expect that his unintentional act would be appreciated by His Majesty.

"Master Cheng, are you willing to stay in North Korea permanently?" Emperor Hongzhi asked again.

"What?!"

Cheng Minzheng was a little confused.

When an official is reinstated and serves the court again, wouldn't he be the right minister in the Ministry of Rites?

Why did he go to North Korea and stay there permanently?

Come out of the palace,

Cheng Minzheng came to Yan's house and said to Yan Chengjin: "Why did your wise nephew get me to North Korea?"

"Your Excellency, you should be happy to be reinstated." Yan Chengjin comforted.

"When fallen leaves return to their roots, I will die in the Ming Dynasty. What better way to go to Korea!"

Yan Chengjin calmly took out a stack of papers from his sleeve and handed it to Cheng Minzheng.

I saw the three words "Dae Jang Geum" written on the manuscript.

"I only have one insight this time, and Mr. Chuanshi doesn't have any."

Cheng Minzheng understood immediately, happily took the manuscript and put it in his pocket.

"But there is no Lao Wang Bookstore in Seoul. Who should I give it to after Shibo has written it?"

"Don't worry, Shibo, Wang Busui has already gone ahead."

Cheng Minzheng felt relieved now, but what made him wonder was: "Why is my nephew so obsessed with attacking Jianzhou?"

Maybe my young master's grandson, great-grandson, and great-great-grandson will be the future princes of the Ming Dynasty.

Jianzhou destroyed the Ming Dynasty, what a fool.

Yan Chengjin has already thought about more than a hundred years later.

This matter was too shocking, so of course we couldn't tell Cheng Minzheng.

One day later,

Han Simen took Emperor Hongzhi's canonization decree, and Cheng Minzheng led two thousand households and craftsmen from the Beijing camp to North Korea.

…

Forbidden City, Kunning Palace.

It was rare for Emperor Hongzhi to accompany Empress Zhang. When he saw her, he thought of his two brothers-in-law and sighed.

"Your Majesty, what are you thinking? Why don't you tell me?"

"Your two brothers have been impeached again." Emperor Hongzhi frowned. The two idiots of the Zhang family opened a Qiyun House on Qianmen Street. People who went in went to Shuntianfu to beat drums and complain.

I heard that some people were scared to death.

"I can't share your worries, but I make your Majesty worry. I am ashamed." Empress Zhang felt strange again: "What is Qiyun House?"

"It's the Qiyu House that Yan Chengjin made a fuss about."

Drinking the precious corn porridge, Emperor Hongzhi suddenly became worried. Yan Chengjin had contributed to the corn, but he hadn't been rewarded yet.

"It's time for Yan Qing's family to get married. Anding Bo must be looking forward to it. This boy is very cautious in front of me. Please ask him for me and I will make the decision for him."

"Your Majesty, don't worry. I will summon Yan Chengjin to the palace tomorrow."

Yan Chengjin received the summons from Queen Zhang and was suspicious. It seemed that there was no money to cheat the Zhang brothers recently.

On the way to Kunning Palace, he carefully speculated.

I thought of several possibilities.

I asked the eunuchs in Kunning Palace again, and then I knew that His Majesty mentioned it in front of the Queen. His Majesty is really a good person...

"Your servant Yan Chengjin, meet the Queen."

"Don't be so reserved, sit down."

Queen Zhang had a faint smile on her lips, and the Crown Princess was on her side. Compared with before entering the palace, she seemed to be a little plump.

"I heard that you have a miserable life, your mother died early, and the Earl of Anding went to Xuanfu. You must be lonely in the capital alone, right?"

"Not lonely, the prince often comes to visit me." Yan Chengjin reported truthfully.

It was no secret that Zhu Houzhao visited every other day, and the Jinyiwei knew it very well.

Empress Zhang's face froze slightly: "I want to grant you a marriage."

Yan Chengjin's mind did not turn around.

Although he knew it before entering the palace, he was still a little surprised when he heard Empress Zhang say it.

"Come on, bring them in."
