The Ming Dynasty started with caution

Emperor Hongzhi looked gloomy: "Yang Tinghe is an official of the East Palace, and he is not an official of the Ministry of Rites. How is it appropriate to send him as an envoy to Africa?"

Yan Chengjin said: "Yang Tinghe beat the imperial official and caused Master Fei's internal organs to be damaged. He should be guilty of the same crime as the common people."

Yang Tinghe was furious: "How can it be so serious? You slandered me!"

This son just wants him to go to sea and take the opportunity to enter the cabinet.

Going to Africa to recruit for military service was just an excuse.

Yan Chengjin secretly wondered, was he too cruel? But the fight in the imperial court cost more than just his life.

And dad, and the lives of everyone in the house.

The loser will risk everyone's life.

If Yang Tinghe were to join the cabinet, he would have been refused entry to the cabinet and would have looked for opportunities to terminate his official position.

History has always been like this.

Yang Tinghe's veins were exposed: "Isn't it a crime for Fei Hongou to hit me? This matter is not for the Metropolitan Procuratorate to decide!"

Liu Jian nodded: "Your Majesty, do you want to discuss the matter of going to Africa?"

Emperor Hongzhi hesitated for a moment.

After all, the Africans are very powerful, and they don’t need any money, so they are free laborers.

Yan Chengjin bowed: "What Mr. Liu said is reasonable, but in the end someone has to go.

A year is enough to travel back and forth to Canada, but Africa only takes a few more months to leave early and return early. "

The main hall was in a stalemate.

Seeing that something was wrong, Xie Qian bowed and said, "Your Majesty, why don't you withdraw from the court first?"

"Retreat!"

Yang Tinghe was sweating profusely, as if he had experienced a life-and-death fight, and was exhausted both physically and mentally.

I almost fell into this kid's hands.

The ministers looked gloomy, the imperial court had really imposed a sea ban!

Before entering the palace, they refused to open the sea ban, not wanting it to turn out like this.

Walking back to the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Yan Chengjin found Yang Tinghe behind him and immediately turned around and distanced himself.

Yang Tinghe was furious: "Don't run away, I'll beat you to death!"

But after running for a while, he found that he couldn't outrun Yan Chengjin, so he panted and stretched out his hand again: "Stop, I have no weapons on me."

Yan Chengjin stopped in a deserted place and turned around: "Master Yang, do you want revenge?"

Yang Tinghe was too lazy to talk nonsense to him: "Why do you want to advise me to go to Africa?!"

"To exonerate Mr. Yang and save Mr. Yang's life."

Can you even say this? Have some face!

Yang Tinghe was so angry that his hands trembled, and he wished he could pinch Yan Chengjin's neck and smash his head against the palace wall to die cleanly.

"How can there be such a shameless person like you in this world? This is an eye-opener for me!"

Yan Chengjin carefully took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it to him: "If this letter is handed into the hands of your majesty, if King Ning has other intentions, my lord's fate may not be much better."

Yang Tinghe opened the letter, and suddenly his expression was stunned as if he had seen a ghost.

Huagai Palace.

Emperor Hongzhi thought about Yan Chengjin's four pieces of advice and looked at Li Dongyang: "Does Mr. Li also believe Yan Chengjin's words?"

"This son has never dared to deceive the emperor. He said that he had it, and I guessed that it should be there." Li Dongyang bowed.

Who should be sent to Africa?

No minister in the court was willing to go.

What's more, if you narrowly escape death at sea, if the ship sinks, no one will rescue you.

No one even knew about the corpses in the vast sea, let alone collected them.

Emperor Hongzhi felt uncomfortable, as if there was a cooked duck hanging in the sky but he couldn't eat it.

Liu Jian nodded slightly: "The African continent that I mentioned may be true, but when I sent Yang Tinghe there, I thought it was an exile."

Li Dongyang and Xie Qian nodded in agreement.

Although I don’t know what grudges Yan Chengjin and Yang Tinghe have.

But today in the lobby, anyone familiar with officialdom could see that Yan Chengjin deliberately let Yang Tinghe go to sea.

The young eunuch hurriedly came in and reported: "Your Majesty, Mr. Yang is in a hurry to meet the Holy Spirit!"

Yang Tinghe strode into the palace and knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, I want to serve as an envoy to Alafia California!"

Emperor Hongzhi's expression froze on his face.

In the court just now, Yang Tinghe resisted desperately and was unwilling to go, but how could he blink?

Liu Jian didn't know why: "Master Yang, we are discussing with His Majesty. There is no need for you to go to Africa."

"No! I refuse."

Yang Tinghe spoke righteously, as if he would die on the spot in front of everyone if he was not allowed to go.

Li Dongyang looked at Xie Qian with a confused face: What happened? Xie Qian looked puzzled: Even my foolish brother doesn’t know!

Emperor Hongzhi took a deep breath and said seriously: "Master Yang, are you serious?"

"Reporting to your Majesty, everything I said is true!"

…

Yang Tinghe was very anxious. When he returned to his house, he ordered his servants to pack their things.

Tears filled his eyes as he looked at the Kuan Mansion and was about to leave for a place he had never heard of.

Many disciples and former officials came to see him off after hearing the news.

Yang Shen was stunned: "Where are you going, dad?"

"Going to a distant place can take as short as one year or as long as three years. When your father is not around, you have to take the exams and gain fame. Don't slack off." Yang Tinghe warned.

The doorman came to report: "Sir, Master Yan Chengjin is here to see you off."

Liu Hongxiang, from the Ministry of Revenue, angrily reprimanded: "He actually has the nerve to come here? Mr. Yang, if you are suffering from anything, you might as well tell your subordinates."

Although Yang Tinghe couldn't understand.

But he deeply realized that Yan Chengjin was like God's help, and most of the good governance in the court was related to him.

Promotion is just a matter of course.

If there was still a chance, he would never have anything to do with Prince Ning and let this son seize the opportunity.

Yang Mansion, gate.

Wang Shouren looked at Yan Chengjin in confusion: "Brother Gao has something on Lord Yang?"

When he was with Wang Shouren, Yan Chengjin always felt naked and was seen through at all times.

"Brother Bo'an is suspicious. I am just being kind."

"Brother Gao doesn't want to say, so I won't ask."

Yan Chengjin and Wang Shouren walked into the mansion. The main hall was full of officials who came to see Yang Tinghe off.

He looked at Yang Tinghe and said, "Lord Yang, have a safe journey."

I'm afraid Yang Tinghe will never come back this time.

When officials were exiled to the border, the escorting yamen officers would find it troublesome and usually kill the officials on the way, saying that they had encountered bandits.

When Yang Tinghe went to Africa, the yamen officers who were traveling with him might not be willing to go.

The yamen officers had to go because of the court's order. They could return home early by leaving Yang Tinghe off the boat.

Yang Tinghe said, "Don't worry, I will go by myself."

The look in his eyes was quite meaningful, as if to say: You dog official, remember what you promised me.

The officials around him were eager to fight, and they hated Yan Chengjin.

"It's fine that you lifted the ban on sea trade, but you also persecuted Lord Yang."

"It's obviously you who lifted the ban on sea trade, what does it have to do with me?"

The arrogance of the crowd disappeared by half.

After all, he was his father's confidant. Wang Shouren thought for a while and said, "I advise Lord Yang to be cautious in selecting people for this trip, as your life may be in danger."

The corner of Yan Chengjin's mouth moved slightly. If he had known, he would not have brought Wang Shouren with him.

Yang Tinghe's eyes moved slightly, nodded, and selected a few people from the Ministry of Rites. The rest were servants.

There were also several officials from the Honglu Temple.

Go to Liangxiang tonight to board the ship and set off for Tianjin.

"Why don't you wait for an auspicious day, Mr. Yang?"

"No need, the sooner the better." Yang Tinghe shook his head.

Only Yan Chengjin knew why Yang Tinghe was so anxious.

He held the evidence of Ning Wang's rebellion.

Yang Tinghe had had an affair with Ning Wang. No matter what, as long as he had been guilty of conspiracy, he would no longer be reused, and his property might even be confiscated.

Going out to sea could provide an alibi, and Ning Wang's rebellion had nothing to do with him.

Your Majesty might forgive him for his merits and hard work.
