The Ming Dynasty started with caution

East Palace.

Yan Chengjinlai and Zhu Houzhao discussed sending a batch of military pay to the Tang and Song Dynasties.

After entering the gate, I saw a shocking scene.

Zhu Houzhao turned his back to him, with the wind blowing under his feet, and kicked Cuju into the door frame. Jiang Mian was panting and seemed to have lost to Zhu Houzhao, showing an unwilling look.

Zhu Zaikun and the other three were tied to pillars. When they saw Yan Chengjin walking in, they looked at him with big eyes.

Which one is this from?

"Fang Lai, why don't you study in Zhan Shifu!"

"We are hostages. If Master Jiang wins, we can go back to study." Yan Fanglai blinked his eyes and said innocently.

"..." Yan Chengjin.

Jiang Mian saw Yan Chengjin coming and hurriedly came over: "Master Yan, can you do me a favor? I just spoke to the new emperor and I will not let him go until he wins."

Most of the people he sent to Fengtian Palace were intercepted by the new emperor.

Zhu Houzhao looked elated and said happily: "Lao Gao, do you want to help Master Jiang?"

"Why is the new emperor like this?"

Zhu Houzhao came over and whispered: "These three boys want to come to the East Palace to play, but they are afraid that Master Jiang will punish them by copying scriptures, so they asked me to help them."

"..." Yan Chengjin looked at the rope and saw that it was not really tied.

After untying the rope, Jiang Mian took Zhu Zaikun and the other three angrily back to Zhan Shi's house. Yan Chengjin walked into the dormitory, and Gu Dayong guarded the door.

"You want to transport three million taels?"

Zhu Houzhao asked cautiously.

"I want to change the silver into silk first, enter the Tang and Song Dynasties through the Silk Road, and then change it into silver, which is called silver washing."

Yan Chengjin drew the route on the map.

"Old Gao, is the Ottoman Kingdom really as powerful as Wang Jian said?" Zhu Houzhao became interested.

"This is natural, but I have discovered a general in the court. Does the new emperor know about Duke Ding?"

Zhu Houzhao blinked. Duke Dingguo was one of the biggest bullies in the capital besides Shouning Hou and Jianchang Bo.

I used to hang out with my uncle a lot.

Now, my uncle has gone to sea and is living on his own. How could he not know?

"You want him to take charge of the Beijing camp and then transfer him to the Gansu guard?"

Zhu Houzhao quickly understood what Yan Chengjin meant.

If the British Duke comes back from Datong, he will have to replace one of the Dukes, who can be sent to Gansu to guard and suppress the bandits.

Zhang Mao has a bad temper and is outspoken.

Xu Guangzuo is suitable.

…

Dingguo Gongfu.

Xu Guangzuo flipped through a stack of land deeds, all of which were land deeds to the east, north and west.

The housekeeper was heartbroken and asked, "Sir, are all these land deeds given away for free?"

"I made a profit by changing to the commander-in-chief of the Beijing Army!"

"My master is brilliant!"

Now that the land deeds of the gentry have been collected, it’s time for the court to issue its decree, right?

Xu Guangzuo believed in Yan Chengjin. Originally, Duke Cheng Zhu Fu could not take charge of the capital camp.

Now, if he takes charge of the Beijing camp, his status will not be weaker than that of the British Duke.

After the vassal system could not be hereditary, the title of the Duke became important, especially the Duke who controlled the capital.

After Emperor Wen, the Dingguogong line was ridiculed and now had the opportunity to take charge of the military.

At this time, I saw a little eunuch walking in with an imperial edict in his hand.

"Ding Guogong receives the decree."

………

The capital city, together with Beicheng and Xicheng, is under construction, and the people are eagerly looking forward to it.

No matter how fast it is, we won’t be able to move in until June next year.

But the Hubu Yamen began to queue up numbers to enter the yellow book, and in the blink of an eye, they received millions of taels of silver.

…

overseas,

Liu Jin stood on the deck, feeling the sea breeze blowing, and she suddenly became energetic.

After boarding the ship, Zhang Fuhua fell ill for no apparent reason.

The commander of the fleet also became Liu Jin.

He took out the chart given by Yan Chengjin and arrived at the Ryukyu Islands as planned.

Logically speaking, the ship sent by Wang Shouren should have been seen, but there was still nothing around.

"Eunuch Liu, there are many sea ships three miles to the west." The guard came to report.

Liu Jin turned the telescope to the west and immediately saw more than ten sea ships.

There is the word "Tang" on the sail, which is a big ship from the Tang and Song Dynasties.

"At the same time that we left the Tang and Song Dynasties, Wang Shouren also ordered people to set off.

The journey back to the capital was delayed for more than two months. Unexpectedly, it took Tang and Song Dynasties five months to get here. "Liu Jin secretly said.

Gao Feng took out the monocular telescope from his sleeve and exclaimed: "Fire, fire!"

Maybe a pirate!

If the other party made a hole in their boat, it would not be fun if it sank.

"No firing!"

"Gao Feng, do you dare to disobey our orders?"

Liu Jin stared at Gao Feng coldly. If the eunuch hadn't found Golden State, he would have been thrown into the sea to feed the sharks.

The lieutenants were in a dilemma.

Of these two eunuchs, one was sent by the Supreme Emperor to search for the Golden State, and the other was sent by the new emperor and Yan Chengjin to oversee the army.

"Eunuch Liu, maybe this is a Japanese pirate. We can't listen to your orders and need to attack them."

"This is a big ship from the Tang and Song Dynasties."

The lieutenant looked again and saw a scholar in Confucian dress and silk scarf on the bow of the boat.

"The Tang and Song Dynasties paid tribute to the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty should protect its ships."

Zhang Fuhua stretched his body and came to the bow of the boat. He felt like vomiting when he smelled the sea breeze. He didn't know why.

Looking through the monocular telescope, a dozen ships were slowly approaching.

"Let them come."

…

Forbidden City, Xinuang Pavilion.

The Supreme Emperor Hongzhi walked around the palace, flipping through the Zhenguan dignitaries left by Emperor Tang, and felt something in his heart.

"What a great book!"

"If the Supreme Emperor can also leave a book on governing the country, it will surely bless future generations."

Xiao Jing flattered him.

When the Supreme Emperor Hongzhi heard this, he pondered for a long time.

"You are right. The grandson of the emperor can see how to govern the world. This is the way of the emperor!"

After a while, the eunuch ran to the cabinet to convey the order.

The gentlemen were not surprised and nodded.

Li Dongyang looked at Yan Chengjin: "You will be the one to compile the Hongzhi Political Essentials?"

Yan Chengjin thought for a moment. It is very difficult to compile it according to the standards of Zhenguan Political Essentials.

And all the conversations between Emperor Hongzhi and the ministers during his reign must be recorded.

And the intention of each sentence must be guessed.

"I am afraid I am not qualified."

Jiang Mian looked at Yan Chengjin: "During the Hongzhi court, you mentioned the most political essentials. You should be the one to compile it, and we will assist you."

Zhang Sheng and Cui Yan nodded.

Once it is sorted out, you will find that there are many words between this child and the retired emperor Hongzhi.

Seeing this, Li Dongyang said: "You edit this book, and the cabinet's memorials don't need to be drafted."

Yan Chengjin thought for a moment. With his current knowledge, it is difficult to quote classics and compile it to the level of Zhenguan politics.

I can understand the feelings of the retired emperor Hongzhi. Any wise king like Tang Taizong.

There will be books circulated in the world, just like later generations who are famous and write an autobiography.

This is a sign of success.

It seems that only vernacular can be used.

"I obey, but when the time comes, please edit it."

Yan Chengjin went to the History Museum to find the historian. He remembered some of the Hongzhi period.

But it was not to the extent of recording the conversation.

And the time he traveled through was the eleventh year of Hongzhi. For the missing parts in the front, he had to ask the historian for historical materials.

The historical materials from the first year of Hongzhi to the end of Hongzhi were missing, and the historian was abolished in the middle.

"It seems that I can only ask the retired emperor."

Yan Chengjin asked the clerk to hold the historical materials and came to the hall of the retired emperor Hongzhi.

"Retired emperor, do you still remember the court discussions from the first year of Hongzhi to the third year of Hongzhi?"

"I don't remember."

You yourself don't remember, and you asked me to make one...

"Then start from the eleventh year of Hongzhi? I remember."

"..."Retired emperor Hongzhi.

Xiao Jing kept looking at these historical materials and couldn't help but interrupt and said, "I remember some."

He was the companion who served the retired emperor since he ascended the throne. He often listened to the court discussions and remembered the important events in the palace.

Yan Chengjin gave Xiao Jing a notebook and asked him to write it down first.

After returning to the Censorate, he began to compile a dictionary of simplified Chinese characters.

Although some characters were simplified in the Ming Dynasty, some used traditional characters, which was different from the previous life.
