In the gate of the house, there is a door.

Kong Wenshao was surprised that Menzi was holding a thick booklet in his hand and drew on it with a pen.

"Yan Shenggong Kong Wenshao, I want to see Lord Yan, please report."

Menzi pulled his throat: "It's worthy of the secret words, so that you can see the young master, Yan Shenggong, please listen to the question: The palace gate is as deep as the sea." ”

Kong Wenshao recalled that it was Cui Jiao's gift.

As soon as the Hou Gate entered the deep sea, this person just changed the Hou Gate to the palace gate, which was used as a code word, and the next sentence was:

"From now on, Xiao Lang is a passerby."

Menzi shook his head: "No, it should be: An Neng argues that I am male and female." ”

The corners of Kong Wenshao's mouth pulled suddenly, and as soon as the palace gate entered the deep sea, An can argue that I am male and female?

You're writing about eunuchs, right?

Menzi complained, this generation of Yan Shenggong is really uneducated, entered the palace and became a eunuch, isn't there no distinction between male and female.

Suddenly, I admired my young master more and more, not only the official, but also the culture.

"Yan Shenggong has another chance, please listen to the question: not afraid of clouds to cover your eyes."

Kong Wenshao didn't dare to despise it.

Since it is used as a code word, it naturally cannot be opposed by common sense.

But after thinking about it for a while, I really couldn't think of it, so I had to answer according to the original sentence: "Self-fate is at the top? ”

Menzi shook his head in disappointment and closed the door of the house: "The next sentence is: Keep the clouds open and see the moon." ”

Yan Shenggong, really a guy with a vain name!

Kong Wenshao was speechless, not afraid of floating clouds to cover his eyes, and it seemed reasonable to keep the clouds open and see the moon......

"Give a hundred taels of silver! Please open the door, little brother? ”

Hu Cong took out a hundred taels of silver ingots and shook them a few times in front of the door.

The door opened, and after the silver was accepted, the door made an invitation to Kong Wenshao.

Kong Wenshao was overjoyed in his heart, walked into the courtyard, and looked at the surrounding courtyard, the walls were dilapidated, and the withered vines hung on the walls, like cracks, which was especially ugly.

It's as if the wind blows and it collapses.

Unexpectedly, there are still people living in such a dilapidated and dangerous yard.

In the main hall, there was a scholar dressed in white, who looked a little younger than him, and it should be Yan Chengjin.

"Can Lord Yan send someone to recuse himself, this public has important matters, talk to Lord Yan."

Yan Chengjin raised his hand, and more subordinates rushed in, as well as Jinyiwei, who saw Kong Wenshao's face dazed.

Ye Zhun knew that Yan Chengjin had invited him to come in to testify again, and stood aside silently.

"This official is a Qing official in the court, and his words can be learned from the sun and the moon, what can't Yan Shenggong say?"

Kong Wenshao thought about it for a while and decided to adopt a roundabout tactic: "I heard that Lord Yan is in the middle of the three yuan, and he must have a deep attainment in Confucianism, and he can be regarded as a son of Confucianism.

I don't know if the Confucian Mansion has offended Lord Yan, and the Lord wants to secretly send someone to investigate, you might as well say it and it will be dealt with by the father. ”

Put the matter on the bright side and leave it to him to deal with, so that there is no need to report it to the court.

This is the best policy, this time in Beijing, he has made a lot of preparations.

Yan Chengjin looked at Kong Wenshao, he just wanted to kill the Confucian Mansion, but you proposed to Li Qing'e......

"Come back, the official and the saint have no grievances, you can rest assured."

Kong Wenshao always felt uneasy, but the subordinates of the Yan Mansion had already come to catch up with the guests.

Out of the mansion gate, back to the Ten Kings' Mansion.

An old man dressed in Confucian clothes greeted him and said, "Holy Father, the dowry that went down to the Li Mansion has been returned. ”

"Don't be afraid, tomorrow in the court, my father will personally propose to His Majesty, my Confucius Mansion has no one to reach its prestige in all dynasties, and Li Dongyang will not be able to resist the holy decree." Kong Wenshao was confident that he could convince Emperor Hongzhi that there were scholars in the capital behind him.

The next day, early in the morning.

Hundreds of officials were listed in the main hall, and Li Dongyang knew that Yan Chengjin was going to admonish him to spread the land, and he couldn't help but feel apprehensive.

Emperor Hongzhi sat on the throne, and Xiao Jing shook off the dust: "Xuanyan Holy Duke is here!" ”

Yan Chengjin turned his head slightly and followed the gaze of the hundred officials.

I saw that Kong Wenshao was wearing a red regular dress and a Confucian crown, and stepped into the main hall.

"Minister Kong Wenshao, I have seen Your Majesty!"

Emperor Hongzhi's face could not see joy, Yan Shenggong entered Beijing to pray for the scholars, which was a great joy, but the Confucian Mansion occupied the land of the people in Shandong, and the sage became a charlatan......

"Yan Shenggong has something to do when he enters Beijing?"

"The minister wants to ask His Majesty for marriage!

I heard that there is a woman in Lord Li's mansion, who is to be married, and she is virtuous and virtuous, and I want to ask Your Majesty to bestow on the ministers, prosper the Confucian people, and pass on the ancestors' legacy. ”

Yan Chengjin thought for a moment.

Li Dongyang took the lead in standing up: "The little girl is shallow in her education, she doesn't know the general situation, and she is difficult to be worthy of the descendants of the Confucian Mansion, besides, the little girl already has a sweetheart." ”

"Dare to ask who it is?"

Kong Wenshao didn't believe it, and turned his head to look at Li Dongyang.

Emperor Hongzhi was a little curious, although he knew that Yan Chengjin was interested in Li Qing'e, but he didn't know who Li Qing'e liked.

Li Dongyang said: "Let's discuss the affairs of Shandong first, Fuzhou is withered, thousands of miles of fertile wilderness is idle, but the people have no way to make a living, this is the fiefdom of the Holy Prince, how can the Holy Father explain?" ”

Yan Chengjin seamlessly connected, and took out a book from his cuffs: "The minister wants to impeach the Holy Father." ”

This letter records the distribution of one million acres of fields in the Yansheng Gongfu in five provinces including Shandong, as well as the number of hidden fields, and the barren acres of fertile land.

The faces of the hundred officials were as usual, and the first generation of Yan Shenggong committed several capital crimes when he was the emperor, and he was only removed from his official position.

Even if there is a heinous crime, what can he do?

Emperor Hongzhi flipped through the sparse music, and his face gradually became solemn.

The imperial court did not measure the land of large households alone, unless they raided their homes.

The land owned by the Yansheng Mansion is as high as 1.3 million mu?

In exchange for grain, there are at least 1.2 million stones, which is enough to account for a quarter of the imperial court's summer tax!

Kong Wenshao was stunned for a moment, and soon his face was as usual, Yan Shenggong was different from the officials in the DPRK and China.

Even if you are impeached, can Your Majesty still remove the title of Yan Shenggong?

"Kong Wenshao, you are guilty!" Emperor Hongzhi snorted.

Hundreds of officials couldn't be caught off guard.

Kong Wenshao was stunned for a moment, and bowed down boldly: "I don't know, I hope Your Majesty will make it clear." ”

"More than 1.2 million acres of fields occupied by Confucius, 270,000 acres of barren land, even Anhui has Confucius's fields, but the people of Shandong are hungry and cannibalistic, do you know in Shandong?" Emperor Hongji asked.

Kong Wenshao was shocked, the land of the Confucian Mansion in Nanzhili was purchased privately and was not in the roster, how could the imperial court find it so quickly?

"This is left by my father, and the minister does not know."

Yan Chengjin took out another book of sparse music: "The minister is still impeaching the Holy Father." ”

Baiguan turned his head and stared at Yan Chengjin's cuffs, and!

Emperor Hongzhi said with a straight face: "How many copies are left, take them out." ”

"The third letter is to impeach Kong Wenshao."

"The fourth letter is sparse, impeaching Kong Wenshao."

Yan Chengjin wrote four sparse notes, which were actually thoroughly investigated by the four divisions and obtained sparse recitals.

The Confucian Mansion has encroached on a lot of fertile land, and it stands to reason that the tax is also a large amount, but the amount of silver paid by the Confucian Mansion is not even thirty percent.

There is also the number of people in Shandong who have lost a sharp decrease every year.

The people are the foundation of the country and the way of the king, and the people must be saved first, and the Confucian Mansion has committed His Majesty's taboo.

Yan Chengjin said: "The minister implores Shandong to implement the apportionment of the land into the mu, and return the land to the people, leaving only 1,000 mu." ”
