The Ming Dynasty started with caution

Chapter 613 If we are brothers, let’s cut together

Ten days later, Zhu Houzhao was taken back to the palace from the silkworm room.

The ministers paid close attention to the prince's condition, or more precisely, to his fertility.

Since ancient times, there have been only a handful of emperors who were unable to conceive. Unexpectedly, Zhu Houzhao took up one of them.

Yan Chengjin ordered someone to call Wang Ji: "How sure are you?"

"Ninety percent!" Wang Ji said confidently.

"With only ninety percent, you dare to advise your majesty and the queen mother? I must be blind to recommend you." Yan Chengjin said angrily.

He Neng rolled his eyes at Wang Ji. In the eyes of the young master, there is no difference between ninety percent and one percent.

It's like drawing water from a water tank. As long as the water tank is not full, even if it is ninety percent, it is not full.

Wang Ji bowed his head in shame: "I didn't think so much and implicated you. If I deceive the emperor, I will bear the responsibility alone."

"The officials want to harm me." Yan Chengjin agreed deeply.

The censors wanted to find something to hold against him, especially since a piece of Zhu Houzhao's flesh had been cut off, leaving his hair and skin incomplete, which was just the right basis for impeachment.

Zhanshi Mansion,

After the announcement of the autumn examination results, it was heard that Li Dongyang had originally intended to nominate Yang Shen as the first place winner, but was replaced by Yan Song by Yan Chengjin.

Yang Tinghe was unhappy and always wanted to find an opportunity to impeach him.

"How can anyone in the world predict pregnancy? If it were true, wouldn't Wang Ji be a miracle doctor? If it was deceiving the emperor, I would take this opportunity to impeach Yan Chengjin!"

"But... Yan Chengjin is not afraid of impeachment."

"Humph, if the prince's illness is not cured, the empress dowager and the officials will surely vent their anger on him, and the impeachment at that time will be incomparable."

When serving as an official in the court, gaining power or losing power, one thing is enough.

Fei Hong hesitated and lowered his head.

As an official of the Zhanshi Mansion, he was also suppressed by Yang Tinghe because of the first place winner in Northern Zhili.

Originally, he was teaching the Prince the Record of Intentions in Minglun Hall, but now, Yang Tinghe has banned all his lectures and changed them to copying lecture notes.

Being close to the Prince is very likely to become an important official in the next dynasty, but the opportunity was missed.

Fei Hong was hesitating whether to remind Yan Chengjin. After all, Yan Chengjin's nomination of Yan Song was not considered cheating.

After thinking for a long time, out of kindness, he decided to go to Yan's mansion to find Yan Chengjin.

He couldn't find out Yan Chengjin's mansion, but he could find out Anding Bo's mansion.

When he arrived at the gate of the mansion, he was surprised to see the dilapidated and desolate wall.

"Yan Chengjin, as a Nine Ministers, lives in a more dilapidated place than me?"

He looked around suspiciously and saw that there were Jinyiwei guarding. That's right, it was here.

After knocking on the door lightly, the doorman gave a codeword, but he couldn't answer it after three times, which made him very ashamed.

At this time, in the main hall of the new courtyard, Yan Chengjin was making wolfberry tea bags, but heard the doorman come to report: "Master, there is a man named Fei Hong outside who wants to see you."

"No."

Fei Hong was a cabinet minister in the Zhengde Dynasty and was very talented.

But in the Hongzhi Emperor's Dynasty, he encountered setbacks one after another and his career was extremely tortuous.

This is his fate.

The doorman trotted out to report: "Our master said he doesn't want to see you."

Fei Hong looked slightly stunned, turned around and left, and after a few steps, he turned back and said to the doorman: "Yan Chengjin nominated Yan Song and offended Lord Yang."

The doorman knew the seriousness of the matter, closed the door and ran to inform Yan Chengjin.

In the past ten days, Yan Chengjin has not entered the palace. It is said that Zhu Houzhao threatened to settle accounts with him.

Emperor Hongzhi and all officials are extremely concerned about this matter, and often invite Wang Ji to the palace for follow-up visits.

The young eunuch chased Zhu Houzhao in a panic: "Your Highness, Doctor Wang said you can't climb over the wall anymore, the silver ring will get loose."

"I'm going to cut off that bastard Lao Gao." Zhu Houzhao didn't care.

Before he reached the gate, he saw Emperor Hongzhi leading the officials to the East Palace.

Wang Ji stepped forward: "Your Highness, it's been a month, I'll take off the silver ring for you, and you can have sex."

Originally, the yellow bird was cut off and the silver ring was worn for seven days, and then it could be taken off.

But Wang Ji was afraid that Zhu Houzhao would eat the crown princess or the palace maid while taking the medicine, and all his efforts would be wasted, so he let him wear it for a month.

Yan Chengjin was a little nervous. In ancient times, giving birth was not so easy.

Three wives and four concubines were just to cast a wide net and increase the chances of winning the bid.

Zhu Houzhao was very uncomfortable wearing it, and he didn't resist when he heard that Wang Ji wanted to help him take it off.

At night, Fengtian Palace.

Liu Jian and others stayed in the palace and did not leave. The prince's fertility problem was the top priority of the court and could not be neglected for a moment.

Yan Chengjin looked at the sky and had been working overtime for an hour. He was thinking about how to leave.

But he saw the little eunuch running in panic: "Your Majesty, the prince was going to have sex, but I heard that Lord Yan promised that the princess would be pregnant in a month, so he refused to have sex."

Is this revenge on Yan Chengjin?

Yes, as long as the prince refused to have sex, or deliberately cheated, the princess would not be able to get pregnant.

Empress Dowager Zhou and the officials would definitely vent their anger on Yan Chengjin.

Xiao Jing secretly blamed Zhu Houzhao, saying that the prince was not as magnanimous as your majesty.

Emperor Hongzhi's face turned green: "Nonsense!"

The little eunuch was scared and added: "The prince said that unless... Lord Yan went to the East Palace in person."

Emperor Hongzhi and the officials had different expressions.

I'm afraid you guys will have to wait till late at night, or even till dawn. After all, tonight is the time to witness a miracle.

But Yan Chengjin didn't want to accompany him. He bowed slightly and said, "I'll go to the East Palace."

"Mr. Yan, the prince is naughty and will definitely find a way to take revenge on you. I will not let him do whatever he wants. You can stay here." Emperor Hongzhi knew what kind of person his son was.

Li Dongyang and others could also guess that the prince never paid attention to the difference between the monarch and his subjects, especially to Yan Chengjin.

Your Majesty, you think too much. I just want to go to the East Palace for a walk and then I will be off duty. Yan Chengjin bowed: "It's okay. The prince's illness is a matter of the court. It must be treated seriously. However, I have something to report to Your Majesty in advance."

Liu Jian was puzzled and turned to look at Yan Chengjin. This boy really would not go easily.

Emperor Hongzhi's brows relaxed: "You say."

After a while, Yan Chengjin stepped out of the hall.

The moon was bright and the stars were sparse. The Jinyiwei sent him to the East Palace with a lantern.

When Zhu Houzhao saw him, he immediately felt refreshed: "You dog official, you still dare to come? Quick, tie him up, Lao Gao, if we are brothers, let's cut it together."

The little eunuch wanted to come up and grab Yan Chengjin, but was scared away by the Jinyiwei who drew his sword.

Zhu Houzhao suddenly realized that it was no wonder that Lao Gao dared to come to the East Palace.

Yan Chengjin waved his hand and asked the Jinyiwei and the little eunuch to withdraw, leaving only Zhu Houzhao.

"I beg your Highness to do me a favor."

"You cheated me, I will not forgive you, unless you go to Huimin Pharmacy to cut it yourself."

"Five hundred thousand taels!"

Zhu Houzhao was stunned, as if a bolt from the blue hit his head: "Lao Gao, did you say five hundred thousand taels just now?"

Yan Chengjin took out a piece of white paper from his arms, and it was written on the paper: This paper is worth five hundred thousand taels

And Yan Chengjin's signature.

Zhu Houzhao suddenly became serious: "You want to fool me again?!"

"If you sign on the IOU, it can't be fake. Your Highness, bring the ink and I'll sign it."

After a while, Yan Chengjin signed on the paper and handed it to Zhu Houzhao.

It was like getting a well-equipped army of 10,000 people. Zhu Houzhao felt extremely heavy in his hand for a light piece of paper. He was so excited that his eyes were straight: "Lao Gao! Are you really going to give me 500,000 taels?"

"Well, please have sex with the Crown Princess, I'm going to go on duty." Yan Chengjin said lightly.

Zhu Houzhao was overjoyed: "I'm going to have sex now, you go on duty."

Outside the bedroom, Ye Zhun was anxious, not knowing how His Highness would treat Lord Yan.

Soon, Yan Chengjin came out: "Commander Ye sent someone to report to His Majesty that the Crown Prince had sex.

It's late at night, Commander Ye, please ask Commander Mou to escort me back to the palace. By the way, Eunuch Xiao will also be fine."
