The Ming Dynasty started with caution

Yan's Mansion, in front of the gate.

After Zhu Chongyao saw Yan Chengjin's plan, he was shocked. No wonder Prince Ning asked him to find Master Yan.

The world laughs at Master Yan for being too cautious, but I laugh at the world for not being able to see through it.

Seeing a blue sedan, he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Student, I have a question. Could you please Mr. Yan to clear it up?"

How could he stop in front of the sedan and ask Zhu Chongyao to keep a distance of three steps to avoid committing murder.

Yan Chengjin frowned: "Begging for land for your father?"

“There is no tax supervisor in Datong, so the money and food that the palace can collect is more than before, but it will not be too much.

To be honest, the palace has borrowed a lot of money from the gentry, and Datong often suffers from natural disasters, so tax exemptions are often required..."

Zhu Chongyao bowed and said.

Datong was not suitable for farming, and there were frequent droughts. The imperial court issued a decree to waive taxes for a year.

The palace asked for silver from the court, but the minister refused on the grounds that he was frugal and wasted money.

"I will not help you beg to change your fiefdom."

Zhu Chongyao was stunned on the spot, his face pale.

At this time, another voice came from the sedan: "Your father is sitting on the richest fiefdom in the world and is not satisfied. You can leave. I don't want to associate with a greedy person like you."

Zhu Chongyao looked up with a stunned face. It was difficult to harvest anything from Datong, and the people were too poor to pay taxes.

Is it the richest fiefdom?

He was shocked and a little confused.

Forbidden City, Fengtian Palace.

Emperor Hongzhi glanced at the book in his hand. Jiang Mian stood in the center of the hall: "The officials did not ask for help voluntarily. Yan Chengjin encouraged the officials to give advice to the Fengtian Palace."

It doesn't matter if you lose the trust of the officials, as long as your Majesty trusts you.

Emperor Hongzhi frowned and closed the book: "This guy is really hateful. I know it. Please leave the Jiang Qing family."

Five gold medals for immunity from death are considered as atonement.

Jiang Mian was a little confused and looked up at Emperor Hongzhi. His Majesty was angry but did not ask any questions. What did this mean?

He bowed slightly and retreated.

Emperor Hongzhi looked at Xiao Jing who was standing aside: "How is the prince's academic performance going?"

"Yan Chengjin has handed over the assessment results and said that the princes have completed their studies and can return to the fiefdom." Xiao Jing suspected that Yan Chengjin, the dog official, just wanted to be lazy.

Emperor Hongzhi took the list and looked at it, slightly surprised: "The first one is Prince Ning?"

Prince Ning left the capital early, and Yan Chengjin still ranked him first in the assessment?

Xiao Jing smiled and said: "I think I was given the first place because I was afraid that Prince Ning would be blamed. However, Prince Ning's talent and learning are indeed outstanding."

After reading the brochure, Emperor Hongzhi said: "I ordered the Ministry of Rites to prepare a reward. If there is any money, silver, silk and satin, I will send it to the eighth prince vassal country."

…

East Palace.

The opera actors in the Liyuan sang in the hall. Zhu Houzhao looked serious and held a notebook in his hand.

The little eunuch changed several actors in turn, but Zhu Houzhao was not satisfied. The five palaces and four tunes failed to sing the majestic and lingering music.

"Gu Banban, the actor you found for me doesn't have a strong foundation."

Gu Dayong was frightened to death and quickly waved his hand to signal for substitution.

An actor painted with pink rouge came on stage. As soon as he started speaking, he calmed Zhu Houzhao: "Are you married?"

The actor was brought to Zhu Houzhao and said cautiously: "I haven't reported back to His Majesty the Crown Prince yet."

Gu Dayong said: "Your Highness, according to the Ming Dynasty's law, if a good person or a lowly person does not marry, it will be a crime to marry an actor."

If an actor is found guilty of intermarriage, he will be imprisoned.

Rich families enjoy entertainers, but they may not marry them.

At this time, the cabinet,

Yan Chengjin would come here to show his face occasionally to avoid dissatisfaction among the cabinet ministers.

Li Dongyang walked to Yan Chengjin's desk and asked him to go to the side room, "Do you know what it is to encourage officials to kneel down and remonstrate?"

Jiang Mian went to meet the saint.

"Instigation is a serious crime of collusion, and according to law, one should be jailed, but the subordinate only sent evidence of guilt and did not instigate." Yan Chengjin said that Emperor Hongzhi knew that he wanted to change his system, and it had not been a day or two.

Li Dongyang took out a packet of medicine from his arms and handed it to him: "I asked the housekeeper to ask for this. I drank this medicine and gave birth to Zhaoxian."

Yan Chengjin was stunned for a moment. He could smell the fishy smell of sea dog whip through the oil paper.

"Master Taishan, I can do without medicine."

Li Dongyang looked at him carefully: "You are lying. Why Qing'e has not been pregnant for a year is not your problem. Is it my daughter's problem?"

"..." Yan Chengjin.

Li Dongyang frowned: "I have worked hard to support you for ten years. Why should I marry you? It's not because she likes you."

As if to say, you don’t want to let down the officer’s hard work, so you drink it.

Yan Chengjin had no choice but to accept it first and let He Neng drink it after leaving the palace.

But he also found it strange that two months had passed since the last time he felt her pulse, and Qing'e had not moved yet.

Could it be...

Li Dongyang said solemnly: "Your father is not in the capital, and there is no one to control you. Having no heirs is a family matter. If you haven't made any move after ten days, don't blame me for bringing the doctor to the door."

This son is usually cautious, but he doesn't care about family affairs at all.

Back at the house, Yan Chengjin handed the medicine to He Neng, and He Neng said happily: "Hehe, Master, what kind of medicine is this?"

"I grabbed the tonic for you, boil it and drink it."

Li Dongyang might ask what it tastes like, and Yan Chengjin added: "Tell me what it tastes like after drinking it."

Li Qing'e came up with the fat maid, and the fat maid beamed with joy: "Miss, I am so kind to my servants."

"Fengjiao, go and help He Neng cook the medicine. I have something to say to the young lady."

"oh."

Yan Chengjin looked at Fengjiao's huge figure leaving and sighed. The food in the mansion was still too good.

Li Qing'e said, "What do you want to say to Qing'e, sir?"

"Today, your father asked me to induce labor again. Why is there no movement?" Yan Chengjin looked at Li Qing'e's belly, and then looked at the doorman beside him: "Go find Doctor Wang."

Soon, Wang Ji took Li Qing'e's pulse and his brows relaxed: "Congratulations, Lord Yan, you are pregnant."

Yan Chengjin was stunned.

In the previous life, she traveled through time before she had time to give birth. This is the first child.

Li Qing'e's eyes were full of joy.

Wang Ji's hand was still on Li Qing'e's wrist. Seeing that he frowned, Yan Chengjin said, "Is there anything abnormal?"

"The upper and middle pulses are beating like drum skins. It's twins from one milk. Double happiness. Congratulations, Lord Yan."

Yan Chengjin blinked and was speechless for a while.

The next day, early in the morning.

Li Dongyang deliberately blocked Yan Chengjin in front of the Meridian Gate and asked with a serious face: "Did you drink the medicine?"

Yan Chengjin nodded: "Yes."

Li Dongyang saw that he was energetic and did not look empty at all, and was a little unconvinced: "What does it taste like?"

"Astringent and bitter, with a fishy smell in the bitterness, just like snake oil." Yan Chengjin said.

Li Dongyang turned his eyes and did not see Yan Chengjin's long-serving servant: "You didn't let the long-serving servant drink it?"

"Yes, otherwise how would the subordinate know?"

Li Dongyang's teeth were clenched in his cheeks, and his eyebrows were twisted together in anger. This guy really doesn't know how to be kind!

The officials around looked over and smiled a little.

Xie Qian covered his mouth with his sleeves, fearing that Li Dongyang would see it.

At this time, Yan Chengjin said: "Qing'e is pregnant. Doctor Wang diagnosed her pulse and said it was twins from the same mother."

There was a dead silence in front of the dismounting monument.

Li Dongyang's pupils shrank suddenly, and he was stunned for a moment, and suddenly laughed.

Xie Qian and the others stiffened, turned around, and looked at Yan Chengjin in astonishment.

This boy is weak and sickly, and he will be shaken to death by the carriage if he leaves the capital.

How is it possible?
