Chapter 11
Yan Chengjin felt it was a pity.
The sisters are so beautiful, but unfortunately they are refugees and don’t even have a household registration.
If you have a little background, you will definitely be able to marry into the family of the Duke, General and Prime Minister, and have different opportunities.
If there is no background, it will be a big difference. At most, it will be a concubine.
There is also the possibility of being killed by the official's wife at any time and being abandoned by the gentry.
The powerful and powerful are often fond of the old and old. If the status of women in the Ming Dynasty is not supported by their parents' power, it is lighter than a down piece.
However, there are so many refugees in Jingxiang.
In the blink of an eye, half a month passed, and Wang Busui sent someone to send back letters from Jiangnan.
His bookstore expansion in the Jiangnan area was very smooth. There was a very famous "Wanjuan Building" in Jiangsu. After the books of Yingkesong were included in this building, sales soared, and the reading style was no less than that in the capital.
Yan Chengjin knew that this building had two famous owners in history, one was Xu Jing and the other was Xu Xiake.
"Wanjuanlou" contains many rare classics and astronomy and geography books. It was built by Xu to make friends with scholars all over the world. Most of the books that enter it will be chanted in Jiangnan.
The Jiangnan was rich, and Wang Busui sent more and more treasures of the Ming Dynasty.
Yan Chengjin exchanged all the Daming treasure money, purchased thousands of acres of fertile land, and replaced some white rice dumplings in the mansion, so he felt at ease.
At this time, Yan's mansion was already a wealthy family hidden in the capital.
Now the "Welcome Pine" is quite famous in the capital, which naturally alarmed the censors in the palace.
So the impeachment memorial came to the imperial court.
A letter to scholars all over the world, requesting His Majesty to clear the capital's atmosphere was sent to the palace.
Every word in the memorial was sharp and it was heartbreaking, and even Emperor Hongzhi was a little moved.
…………
In the morning, the dawn is shining.
All officials were listed in the hall, and the court discussed the affairs of the court. Emperor Hongzhi sat in the hall, and Xiao Jing and other eunuchs stood on both sides.
The Minister of War Ma Wensheng bowed to Emperor Hongzhi, who was above and said, "Ganzhou City is stationed, and Zhang Hai, the Right Minister of War, returns. Tufan and Hami are constantly quarreling. Since the capture of King Shanba of Hami, the people of Hami have been constantly migrating to the border of our Celestial Dynasty, resulting in constant border disputes. If the court does not deal with it, I am afraid..."
When all the officials heard this, Hami could not defeat Tufan, so they fled to our border and bullied the people of our court?
Emperor Hongzhi was furious and raised his hand and pressed it gently, suppressing the argument. As his voice became smaller, he looked at Li Dongyang and the other two in the cabinet.
"What does the cabinet think?"
Li Dongyang said: "Your Majesty is worse than you, use the barbarians to govern the barbarians."
Use barbarians to govern barbarians?
Emperor Hongzhi nodded and signaled him to continue speaking.
Li Dongyang said: "The migrant Hami Yi people are all poor enemies who escaped war. If they help the Yan Kebushi on the border of Ganzhou City become the leader of the barbarians, and re-appointed Shaanxi Ba as the king of Zhongshun, and commanded the barbarians, the barbarians will definitely obey. With the support of our Great Heavenly Kingdom border army, the Tufan will definitely not dare to act rashly. At that time, the court will use means to control Shaanxi Ba, and the Hami Yi chaos can be settled."
If you don’t whistle, you will be speechless.
The court was silent.
Emperor Hongzhi smiled with satisfaction, and he was worthy of being my minister. In fact, he thought so too.
With his nodding instructions, the border disturbance in Ganzhou was settled. Just as he was about to be polite, he retreated to the court: "What else do the court officials need to report?"
Who knew that someone really stood up.
Fu Han, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites, said: "Your Majesty, now the ceremony of talent is about to be imminent, and the capital's literary style is in chaos. How can you be upright? I ask Your Majesty to pull out the thief who disturbs the trend to show the Dharma!"
Li Dongyang and the other two in the cabinet looked different. Li Dongyang's eyes were on the ground and the old god fell on Xiao Jing's cloud exhibition.
These days, the bored people in the market have weaved the tunes:
Wenqu welcomes guests pine,
The most talented person,
Poetry Li Dongyang,
Wen is suppressing Cheng Minzheng.
…………………
Of course there is something about making up for exaggeration here, but the more mysterious it is, the more people like to listen to it.
At this time, Cheng Minzheng, who was depressed, was like a cockfighting that was extremely jealous when he encountered an enemy. He just didn't listen to the matter in Ganzhou. He mentioned Yingke Song, but was excited.
"I... also want to make the poems and essays clear and famous!" Cheng Minzheng was excited.
"Your Majesty, my poems and essays are pitiful. I have been invented for more than two months, and I have not even heard of them at all.
I asked the Welcoming Song to discuss the superiority and inferiority, but he ignored it.
Isn’t this looking down on me?
I want to question him in person why I ignored my request.
I... just want to ask him for advice, and beg your Majesty to find out this person who has hidden his head and tail. I want to fight him!"
Emperor Hongzhi was feeling the problem. The Ministry of Rites was in charge of the five rituals and the law of tribute and tribute, and scholars all over the world were under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Rites.
"As an important minister of the Ministry of Rites, Fu Han made a memorial and reasonable report. Why... Master Cheng also made a memorial?"
The ministers were stunned.
Your Majesty, Lord Cheng is also an official of the Ministry of Rites.
Xiao Jing whispered: "Your Majesty, you have just appointed Lord Cheng as the Right Minister of Rites."
"Oh..." Emperor Hongzhi coughed awkwardly and said, "I was just joking just now. You are so serious. How could I not know that Master Cheng is also an important minister of the Ministry of Rites? Cough... Is there anyone else to impeach?"
In Emperor Hongzhi's mind, Cheng Minzheng has always been a master, and he has a lot of court affairs, but he forgot his official position for a while.
"I'm going to discuss it!" Chen Ce, the censor of the Censorate, hurriedly said.
Isn’t the responsibility of a censor just to confront the sky and the earth to confront the emperor?
Oh, I have been chasing the book of the Welcoming Song for several days. If I don’t jump out and fight, wouldn’t it be said that someone would be dereliction of duty?
Some old cynics also jumped out and cursed: "Then welcoming pine is unwilling to make money. Knowing that scholars have extremely high requirements for the paper quality of books, he sold one tael of silver. I only spent a lot of silver after I lost my salary. During this period, I spent three taels of silver to buy books! I asked for a price reduction!"
“Yes, price reduction!”
Fu Han and Cheng Minzheng were stunned. Are we asking for the arrest of Yingke Song?
How did it turn into bargaining?
No, these censors bought those thief’s books!
Cheng Minzheng felt his heart and felt very painful, as if his poems and essays were shattered all over the ground.
However, the censors were very reasonable. Even if they were questioned, they were reasonable. We censors were responsible for supervising the inside and outside of the court and the outside world. How could we know what the welcoming song wrote if you don’t read it? Speaking of which, His Majesty also wants to reimburse us for money!
Emperor Hongzhi's face trembled for a moment. How could he not know that the book is expensive?
Queen Zhang likes books about Welcoming Kesong. He sent someone to Yan's mansion several times. The ones they bought were all eight-part. When she came back, she asked Xiao Jing to copy them on the best paper.
After a while, it will cost a lot of money.
Fu Han coughed dryly and said seriously: "Your Majesty, we are discussing the trouble of the Welcoming Kesong disturbing the writing style. How should we convict me?"
The needles fell in the court were heard, and it seemed that they were waiting for His Majesty to make a decision.
Just when no one spoke, Xie Qian stood up: "I want to ask, how do you think the fireworks and willow alleys with long grass and flying birds and the smoke-wave boats that are singing and dancing?"
"This is the court. Why did Mr. Xie mention... these unshamed things, may it be that Mr. Xie has been there?" The censor blushed.
Xie Qian said calmly: "Xie is from Jiangnan, so he naturally has a storm and snowy year worth remembering. If you have been there, you have been there."
The court officials were in an uproar.
