The Ming Dynasty started with caution

"You tell me first." Li Dongyang said with a straight face.

Yan Chengjin thought about it and confessed in advance. Li Dongyang might run to the Huagai Palace and shout: Your Majesty, something bad has happened.

"My eyelids are twitching so much, I don't know what's wrong."

Li Dongyang's face turned green, just twitching his eyelids...

"I promise you, if it doesn't break the law, I can help you once."

Huagai Hall,

Yan Chengjin came here to meet the emperor and walked into the hall, and said straight to the point: "Your Majesty, the teacher recently adopted a son, and begged to enter the Imperial College."

Emperor Hongzhi put down his pen and was surprised: "When did you become a disciple?"

Xiao Jingshi said: "Your Majesty, Lord Li has been the chief examiner for twelve years, and Lord Yan is the top scorer of the exam."

Emperor Hongzhi suddenly realized: "Li Qing's family begged for it themselves, why do you come here?"

"The teacher is ashamed to speak, Your Majesty doesn't know that Li Zhaofan is the teacher's nephew. His biological father has passed away, so he was entrusted to the teacher. The teacher thought of the blood relationship, so he came to the student with a thick face. It doesn't matter if he says it doesn't work, Your Majesty doesn't have to embarrass him." Yan Chengjin said.

Emperor Hongzhi understood.

The quota of students in the Imperial College has always been open to important officials in the court.

The descendants of people like Liu Jian and Xie Qian all studied in the Imperial College.

First, it was a favor to the important officials of the court, and second, the descendants of famous officials were mostly virtuous people who could be used by the court.

Li Dongyang adopted a son, and as a cabinet minister, he personally arranged for him to enter the Imperial College, which inevitably gave people a chance to criticize him.

Emperor Hongzhi nodded: "Allow me to beg."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

………

Li Mansion,

During dinner, Li Dongyang smiled and said to his stepson: "Starting tomorrow, you will go to the Imperial College to study."

Li Zhaofan was grateful and overjoyed: "Thank you, father."

In a moment, he worried: "My son has a special status, and it is a good thing to be able to enter the Imperial College, but my father is a cabinet minister. Asking Your Majesty to let my stepson enter the Imperial College will affect my father's reputation..."

Li Dongyang smiled and interrupted: "Don't worry, it was my student who proposed it, and no one will listen to his words. I will take care of it. "

No one knows a father better than his daughter. Li Qing'e understood and paused for a moment and said, "I will make some cakes to thank Mr. Yan on behalf of my second brother."

Li Zhaofan was excited: "Let me deliver it. I want to thank him in person."

"No! You must not see him!" Li Dongyang was a little excited, then calmed down and said, "Eat."

But he was very uneasy in his heart. Zhao first met him a few times and then went to Hainan. There were also Wu Kuan's son, Xie Qian's son, and Wang Hua's son. They were so well-behaved before, but now they are like a different person.

And the prince...

Li Dongyang dared not let his stepson see him, and reminded him again: "Did you hear it?"

"I will follow my father's teachings." Li Zhaofan nodded doubtfully.

After dinner, Li Dongyang went back to the study to read the memorials. Li Zhaofan asked secretly, "Sister, who is Lord Yan?"

"Lord Yan is the Right Censor-in-Chief of the court, and the son of the great writer Yingkesong. He often comes to visit my father. He asked someone to cure my elder brother's illness." Li Qing'e's eyes were full of hope.

Early in the morning, Li Zhaofan asked Yan Chengjin's address and came to the door of Yan's house.

This mansion looked extremely shabby. Even though the walls had just been renovated and painters had been invited to paint on them, it could not conceal its decay.

"Sister said that I definitely can't match the code of the Yan Mansion, so there is no need to knock on the door."

After waiting for a long time, he saw an official in a scarlet robe coming out of the mansion.

This official looked about the same age as him, but he was already a fourth-rank official in the court?

While feeling ashamed, he also had some admiration.

"May I ask...but is it Lord Yan Chengjin?"

Yan Chengjin was slightly surprised and looked at Ye Zhun, a Jinyiwei, who nodded to indicate that he was safe.

Li Zhaofan hurriedly said, "I am Li Zhaofan, the stepson of Lord Li, and I have come here to thank you for your kindness."

Yan Chengjin asked suspiciously, "How do you prove that you are Lord Li's stepson?"

Having been assassinated twice in front of the mansion gate, he was always cautious and careful with strangers.

Although those who have been impeached in the court have retired, it is inevitable that some of their colleagues are still in the court.

The Ming officialdom emphasizes brotherhood.

In history, there have been many revenges with unclear motives, and the truth is that they are just revenge for colleagues.

So, he is also wary of acquaintances.

Currently, those who have been impeached by him include Zhou Jing, Liu Dasha, Fu Han, etc.

All of them are great Confucian scholars, and their students and former officials are all over the court and the country.

Li Zhaofan was a little confused.

"I came here in a hurry today and didn't bring any proof. These cakes were made by my sister herself, and they are engraved with "Li Mansion." "

After He Neng took them, he waved his hand and said, "Get out of the way, our young master is going to court."

Yan Chengjin sat in the sedan chair and went to court.

Kunning Palace,

Zhu Houzhao knelt on the ground, raised his head slightly to look at the face of Emperor Hongzhi.

Emperor Hongzhi flipped through the comics and looked at them for a few times, and whispered, "Hand them all over!"

"No more, the drawings of my son are all in the hands of my father."

Zhu Houzhao said honestly.

Yesterday, a little eunuch sneaked in to serve him, but he didn't know that he was from the Silijian.

After reporting to Xiao Jing, he was arrested and brought to the East Palace.

However, he didn't plan to betray Yan Chengjin. Lao Wang Bookstore was still printing. After a few days, he would let Changning Bo transport it to the island country, and his father would not be able to control it.

The brave warrior Changningbo had not been used for a long time. He couldn't help but feel that Lao Gao was very thoughtful. He let him do all the dirty and tiring work, and there would be no need to feel sad if he died.

Emperor Hongzhi asked calmly: "How many hours did you spend painting these?"

Zhu Houzhao thought for a while and said cautiously: "It can be finished in a quarter of an hour without delaying Erchen's study. Moreover, since Erchen drew comics, he no longer has a headache when reading. During the listening banquet, he can sit still for a whole day without stopping." Move, these are the changes brought to Erchen after drawing comics."

Emperor Hongzhi couldn't control his expression.

"Nie... Niezi!"

Seeing His Majesty, Empress Zhang couldn't help but take action. She felt a little sorry for her son and said, "Your Majesty, please calm down. Houzhao was naughty for a while and it's time to teach him a lesson. But Your Majesty... don't you still know his temper?"

The more the prince was asked to go east, the more he would go west.

Therefore, if you want the prince to go east, you have to point west.

At this time, Mou Bin reported: "Yan Chengjin has been in and out of the East Palace these days."

Zhu Houzhao rarely admitted: "I did it all by myself. If my father wants to punish me, I should punish him."

Emperor Hongzhi obviously didn't believe it, and he knew it when he asked Mou Bin.

After morning,

Yan Chengjin was left behind by Emperor Hongzhi. The hall was quiet and no one spoke. Mou Bin winked at him.

"Your Majesty, your general is staying here, but you have something important to discuss?"

Emperor Hongzhi said calmly: "I have issued an imperial edict that this thing must not appear in the Ming Dynasty!"

Li Dongyang looked sideways slightly and saw Xiao Jing coming down holding a tray with a booklet in it.

The ministers read through them one by one, showing a bit of hatred for iron.

Yan Chengjin said directly: "I have indeed tried to dissuade His Highness."

Emperor Hongzhi looked at Xiao Jing and saw Xiao Jing nodded slightly. When he was in the East Palace, Yan Chengjin had tried to dissuade the prince, but it was just a casual mention.

"Since you know it, you don't report it to me! Do you intend to condone it?"

A layer of sweat appeared on Yan Chengjin's forehead, and His Majesty guessed what he was thinking.

"I am afraid that reporting to Your Majesty will not help. Now that the Japanese pirates are in chaos in the southeast, I dare not add to Your Majesty's troubles."

Li Dongyang said: "Yan Chengjin has always thought a lot about it. Please don't blame me, Your Majesty."

At this moment, Xie Qian hurriedly walked in: "Your Majesty, there is an urgent report from Songjiang Mansion! There is good news and there is bad news."
