The Ming Dynasty started with caution

Liu Wentai pried the empress dowager's mouth open and slowly put his penis inside. At first, the empress dowager felt pain, but then she felt a refreshing coolness.

Liu Wentai was also an experienced Chinese medicine doctor. He tried his best to apply all the medicine without causing pain to the empress dowager.

His technique was skillful and amazing!

Hearing the empress dowager's cry of pain, Emperor Hongzhi walked in: "How is the empress dowager's condition?"

Without waiting for Yan Chengjin to answer, the empress dowager's eyes regained clarity: "This medicine is better than what Liu Taiyi prescribed. It doesn't hurt me to talk so much. I didn't pay attention just now. What's your name?"

Yan Chengjin bowed and said: "Your servant Yan Chengjin is a civil servant in Hanyuan."

Liu Wentai's old face was a little embarrassed.

Emperor Hongzhi's face eased, and he said to Yan Chengjin: "List this recipe in the Imperial Medical Hall and spread this method so that all people can benefit from it. By the way, what is the name of the recipe?"

Is my prescription just given away?

"Winter melon frost." Yan Chengjin said respectfully.

Liu Wentai was delighted: "Your Majesty is kind-hearted and kind-hearted, which is a blessing for all people. If winter melon frost is promoted to the imperial court, I don't know how many patients with oral erosion will be grateful."

Emperor Hongzhi was in high spirits: "Lord Yan cured the empress dowager's illness and contributed a good prescription. What reward do you want?"

Li Dongyang was worried. Would this guy ask for a golden medal of immunity from death again?

Yan Chengjin's heart moved. Of course, he wanted to be a high official.

Before he could speak, the empress dowager spoke. She had been tortured by oral erosion for a long time. Now she liked Yan Chengjin more and more: "Rewarding money is not enough to show my heart. It's better to give him a promotion. I have seen that he has been doing things just now. He is not arrogant or impatient, and he is prudent and measured. After three dynasties, my vision of people will not be wrong. Your Majesty will decide for yourself."

Thank you first, so as not to regret it, Yan Chengjin knelt down with a plop: "I have done nothing, and I have suffered this from the empress dowager. I was so flattered that I was terrified. "

The Queen Mother smiled and nodded: "You are so modest."

"Promotion is promotion!" Emperor Hongzhi was happy and readily agreed. He looked at Li Dongyang on the side and said: "Grant promotion. Pass my oral order to the Ministry of Personnel. Grant Yan Chengjin the title of Hanlin Shijiang. The official rank is promoted to the first rank. The salary will increase with the official promotion. Add him to the list of Jingyan. "

The appointment of officials must go through the layers of selection of the Ministry of Personnel. Emperor Hongzhi did not want to raise the number of officials again, so he asked the Ministry of Personnel to do it.

It is not new for the champion to be appointed as the Jingyan lecturer. People like Xie Qian and Wang Hua are all like this.

Yan Chengjin is the champion, and there is the order of His Majesty. The Ministry of Personnel quickly approved the appointment.

But Yan Chengjin is a little unhappy. Emperor Hongzhi has no time to listen to the Jingyan. The one who teaches is Zhu Houzhao, the bastard.

The Jingyan will be held this month. It seems that it will be in Wenhua Hall in three days.

Yan Chengjin was busy studying the lecture notes for the Imperial Lecture, and three days passed in the blink of an eye.

He had just been added to the list of the Imperial Lecture as a reserve lecturer, but Yan Chengjin also needed to attend the lectures.

Sitting among a group of Hanlin scholars, Zhu Houzhao sat in the front row and seemed not to notice him.

Today, the lecturer was Li Dongyang. Li Dongyang liked to talk about the Book of Rites because he felt that the prince was smart but did not understand etiquette and did not distinguish between superiors and subordinates.

Li Dongyang stood on the stage: "From the emperor to the common people, all of them are based on self-cultivation. It is telling us to cultivate our character. Your Highness, please sit down and listen to the class. Why are you twisting and turning like this?"

Zhu Houzhao sat on pins and needles, twisting from time to time, and did not listen to the class seriously at all.

Yan Chengjin wondered if this guy's pi gu had Parkinson's disease.

That's not right. When Zhu Houzhao came to find him, Pi Gu was like he was stuck to No. 502. He couldn't be driven away. He was honest and well-behaved.

Zhu Houzhao said honestly: "When Master Li lectures, I feel uncomfortable all over."

There was an uproar in the audience!

Yan Chengjin looked strange.

I don't know how many people asked Li Dongyang to give lectures, but they all wanted it. Such a great scholar gave you a lecture, and you still feel uncomfortable all over. Isn't this asking for a beating?

However, Emperor Hongzhi was not here, and no one dared to hit Zhu Houzhao.

Li Dongyang was so angry that his face turned black: "Why?"

Zhu Houzhao stammered: "Last time I asked Master Li why the ancients always contradicted themselves when they spoke. Master Li hadn't answered me yet, why did the ancients say that everything is inferior, only reading is high, but they also said that it is better to be a centurion than a scholar? If I don't ask clearly, I will feel uncomfortable all over."

Zhu Houzhao's ideas are really advanced.

Although what you said makes sense, you can't just say it directly. It would be embarrassing if the teacher couldn't answer it.

Li Dongyang was embarrassed because he knew that even if he answered it, Zhu Houzhao would find another question like this and continue asking.

It would never end.

This lecture can't be held!

Li Dongyang coughed dryly: "Your Highness, I am teaching the Book of Rites now. I will think about your question when I go back. I will tell you when I have thought it through."

Zhu Houzhao said, put his hands down obediently, and sat up straight.

Li Dongyang continued: "What makes a mortal human is courtesy and righteousness. Your Highness, why are you moving around again?"

Zhu Houzhao: "I feel uncomfortable..."

Yan Chengjin: "………………"

Li Dongyang continued with a dark face.

When the lecture was successfully finished, he finally smiled with relief, closed the lecture notes, and took a sip of tea.

Every time the lecture ended, it was time for dinner, and His Majesty would host a banquet to entertain the lecturers.

Yan Chengjin quietly hid in a corner, enjoying the dinner, while Li Dongyang and other great scholars were discussing what they had just said in the front, praising each other.

Zhu Houzhao held a vegetable in his mouth and stared blankly for a long time.

"Why don't you eat, Your Highness? If you feel unwell, do you want to ask the imperial physician to take a look?" After Li Dongyang and his businessmen complimented each other, he returned to his seat and asked Zhu Houzhao with concern.

Zhu Houzhao moved the green vegetables in front of Li Dongyang and said, "Master Li, look at this green vegetable."

Li Dongyang said woodenly, "I know this is a green vegetable."

Zhu Houzhao looked delighted, "It was green just now, but now it's yellow?"

Yan Chengjin marveled at Zhu Houzhao's comprehension, and he almost figured out the oxidation phenomenon.

I wonder if throwing an apple at him will remind him of something?

Li Dongyang's old face twitched, and he stood up quickly: "I'm full, I'll take my leave first. Oh, by the way, Your Highness, the next lecture will be given by Master Xie. If Your Highness has any questions, you can ask Master Xie for clarification."

Outside the palace, Yan Chengjin met Li Dongyang: "I just listened to Lord Li's explanation and benefited a lot. I feel that my knowledge is far less than one ten-thousandth of yours, and I can't teach the prince."

Li Dongyang sighed. Those who first became lecturers in the lecture hall all had such a reaction.

He didn't want to teach the prince either.

Li Dongyang patted Yan Chengjin on the shoulder: "It's a good thing that the prince is eager to learn. In fact, the prince still understands a lot of principles."

Spiritual victory method?

Yan Chengjin carefully savored Li Dongyang's intention. As the top scholar, it was entirely possible that he would follow Wang Hua's old path: "Students have not yet completed their studies, and they have a long way to go. It is safer to talk about the classics after you become a great scholar."

Li Dongyang snorted coldly: "You are good at learning, why are you so timid? The classics are for the prince to learn, and it is related to the fate of the country. Don't back down."

Talk to Zhu Houzhao? He is not afraid.

But how can he be so arrogant? Discussing the scriptures with Li Dongyang, Xie Qian and others, what a fuss...
