The Ming Dynasty started with caution

Xie Pi returned to his mansion, packed his bags, and prepared to go to Anlu Prefecture.

The imperial court appointed him as an imperial envoy to control floods. With this status, he could mobilize local officials.

Xie Qian's face was full of sorrow and indignation: "I only agreed with His Majesty in the court, and I will recommend you!

Dad will definitely arrange for him to go to Tubo when he gets the chance in the future! "

Xie Pi advised his father: "King Xing's request for begging involves the Queen Mother, the people of Anlu Prefecture, and the people of Jiangnan. Controlling the water is the only way to solve the problem. Mr. Yan trusts the child and only lets the child go. My father is not grateful." That’s all, why do you want to frame Master Yan?”

Are you, are you stupid for staying in Liangxiang?

Xie Qian was stunned for a while after hearing this. After thinking about it carefully, he felt that what his son said made some sense.

Wang Shouren was recommended many times and now became a doctor in the Ministry of Punishment.

At this time, a servant ran in and reported: "Master, Master Yan Chengjin is here."

"What's he doing here? Let him in!" Xie Qian thought for a while and let him in. After that, he rolled up his sleeves and sat on the brocade stool nearby.

Yan Chengjin said to Wang Shouren: "Brother Bo'an, you are still walking ahead."

Wang Shouren and Xie Pi were acquainted with each other. The two families had a relationship when they were in Jiangnan, so they came specifically to say goodbye to Xie Pi.

When Xie Qian saw Wang Shouren coming in, he glanced at Yan Chengjin behind him and said coldly: "What else do you want to see my son for?"

"Thank you for avoiding me, sir."

"This is my official residence. I will sit here and speak here if I have anything to say." Xie Qian stroked his beard and said.

Yan Chengjin looked troubled: "Master Xie, are you determined to sit here?"

"It's natural!"

"Then what did the official say?"

Xie Qian's face showed a faint smile: "Tell me!"

"Xie Pi, come out for a moment."

"..." Xie Qian.

Xie Pi followed Yan Chengjin to his courtyard with his baggage on his back. Xie Qian was embarrassed and shameless and chased him out because of his harsh words, and was still sitting in the room.

Yan Chengjin took out a brocade box and said, "This brocade box can only be opened in the feudal kingdom of King Xing."

Xie Pi and Wang Shouren's eyes fell on the brocade box.

I saw four big characters written on the dark purple seal: "Seal-Seal-Seal-Seal."

I don’t know if there will be a second layer after opening it.

What Master Yan made seems normal, right?

Xie Pi said gratefully: "Student thanks Master Yan!"

Knowing that Master Xiao Song's drawings were all from Yan Chengjin, he admired them in his heart.

Yan Chengjin said with a straight face: "The best good is like water, and the best evil is also like water. Water is not easy to cure. You need to be careful during this trip and don't be pushed into the water."

King Xing wanted to change the vassal state, but Xie Pi went to control the flood, which ruined his good deeds.

If you recommend others to control floods, they will probably drown.

Considering that Xie Pi was the son of Xie Qian, and that water control required knowledge from science, he recommended him.

Others went there and couldn't be cured.

I don’t know if King Xing dared to push Xie Pi into the river for Xie Qian’s sake.

Wang Shouren thought it made sense and secretly wrote down Yan Chengjin's words.

Xie Pi felt that there was something in Yan Chengjin's words, so he did not continue to ask, and said: "My lord, Brother Wang, after saying goodbye to my father, the student left the capital."

Riding on the big maroon horse, under Xie Qian's eyes, he slowly left the capital.

…………

It's early in the morning, the sky is clear and the air is clear.

In the yard, Yan Chengjin was wearing chainmail and fencing with He Neng, and the sound of popping could be heard.

It was the sound of a sword hitting cowhide armor.

Unexpectedly, He Neng's sword stabbed Yan Chengjin's chest accurately, "Master, I was stabbed, how much silver reward is there?"

Yan Chengjin reprimanded: "The stabbing was so powerful that it injured my internal organs, and the Yan family was cut off. Someone, please call the doctor quickly..."

The joy on He Neng's face dissipated and he almost cried, "Master, I don't dare to do it anymore!"

Yan Chengjin said with a straight face: "Additional one of the family rules is that in future fencing, you are only allowed to stab this young master on the back."

The back is covered with muscles, and it won't hurt too much if you wear chainmail.

After a while, He Neng invited the most famous doctor in the capital.

Wang Ji followed Princess Shou to Fengguo, and Yan Chengjin could only make do with it and take off his coat.

The old man said angrily: "I'm not sick! Aren't you just entertaining me?"

Yan Mansion is located in a remote area and is not considered a wealthy family in the capital.

Moreover, the old doctor didn't know that Yan Chengjin was an official, so he spoke out of proportion.

Yan Chengjin said: "Doctor, take a closer look. This young master feels it is serious. Don't let the root cause of the disease fall on you."

The old doctor checked it from beginning to end unwillingly, received half a tael of silver, and left.

Yan Chengjin asked: "The moves have improved, who did you learn them from?"

He Neng said: "It was a down-and-out scholar who gave me a few coins and taught him three tricks."

"Get up and teach me, Master Ben."

Although Li Kang and Li Zhaofan were weak scholars, they knew a few moves.

Franji people were also killed in Hainan.

Yan Chengjin didn't dare to kill people yet. It would be best to strengthen his body and defend himself.

Chengxian Street, next to Lao Wang Bookstore.

"Master, that's him." He Neng pointed at the scholar not far away.

Yan Chengjin followed He Neng's eyes and saw that He Neng was in despair.

The scholar looked thin, sitting on the stone pillar next to the bookstore, eating steamed buns.

On Chengxian Street, there is the Imperial College and the Confucius Temple. Most of the scholars who come and go are accompanied by book boys or long attendants, but this person is the only one.

"I'll learn archery today and give you a penny." He Neng said happily.

The scholar stood up quickly, bowed, took the silver with both hands, and said humbly: "I can teach you, but there is no shooting range nearby, and I don't have a bow and arrow... I have to wait a day for me to make a bow."

It is not surprising that the Imperial College teaches archery and horsemanship, and it is not surprising that Yan Chengjin is proficient in archery.

Yan Chengjin sat on the sedan chair and prepared to enter the palace.

…………

Forbidden City, the Ministry of Rites is on duty.

Zhang Sheng received the memorial submitted by the Honglu Temple and felt very strange: "It's not the end of the year, and Tubo and Hami are coming to pay tribute at this time?"

The chief clerk frowned and said: "The envoys are Zhen Timur and Baiyaji, who brought a lot of caravans, but did not pay much tribute."

Although Tubo and Hami paid tribute to the Ming Dynasty, they also had disputes with the people on the border.

Moreover, Tubo and Hami have always been at odds, why did they team up to pay tribute?

Zhang Sheng felt strange, so he got up and went to the cabinet.

Cabinet,

Li Dongyang read the memorial, thought about it, and said to Zhang Sheng: "I'm afraid it is related to the opening of the Northwest Silk Road. Has the person moved into the Honglu Temple?"

Zhang Sheng nodded and said: "Well, just wait for His Majesty's permission to see the emperor."

"Let's go and report to His Majesty."

The Ming Dynasty is a country of etiquette. For envoys, Emperor Hongzhi usually meets them once.

However, this time Emperor Hongzhi was a little confused: "Last year, Hami asked the court for permission to attack Tubo, why did they come together?"

Yan Chengjin was afraid that the throne would be changed...Hami concealed it.

Just like during the Hongwu period, the ministers of Annan usurped the throne and deceived the Ming Dynasty court.

However, the details will have to wait until tomorrow, when the envoys of Tubo and Hami meet the emperor, to know.
