Chapter 590: Royal Inheritance
Yan Song burst into tears, looking at the red list and couldn't believe his eyes.
The chief examiner is Yan Chengjin, and the first nomination must go through his jaw, and he actually gave Xie Yuan to himself?
"Dare to ask...... Dare to ask Beizhili Xie Yuan, but Yan Song? β
"Yes, it's you, Brother Wei."
Yang Shen smiled bitterly in disappointment, and promised his father that he would win the Northern Zhili Xie Yuan, but he only took the second place in the exam.
The surrounding scholars stood in place like wood, constantly blinking and looking at the list, Jinke Xie Yuan is really Yan Song!
Yan Song's body trembled like a sieve, Beizhili was one of the two capitals, and he actually had to understand Yuan!
At this moment, I just want to repair my books and return to my hometown to tell my father such good news.
But at a moment, my mind woke up like a dream, and the person who should be most grateful should be Yan Dacai!
β¦β¦
Forbidden City, Xinuan Pavilion.
Yan Chengjin and Li Dongyang led the army to read the papers, returned to the palace to pay the decree, the ministers stood on both sides, their faces were full of astonishment, and Xie Yuan of Beizhili was Yan Song.
Yang Tinghe's face was extremely complicated, Qiu Yan was on the list, and he was powerless if he had ideas.
Emperor Hongzhi was kind and kind-eyed, and his mouth moved: "Yan Song is so talented? β
Hanlin Fei Hong glanced at Yan Chengjin deeply, and reported truthfully: "Originally, Lord Li's person was Yang Shen, but Lord Yan wanted to promote Yan Song as Xie Yuan, so he put Yan Song at the top of the list. β
Yang Tinghe's face was miserable, and his big eyes stared at Yan Chengjin.
Yan Chengjin said: "This paper is from the hand of Master Li, and a test paper in the Gongyuan has not been approved, and there is no suspicion of fraud." β
Li Dongyang did not say a word, indicating acquiescence.
After a while, there was silence in the hall.
You have been in the Gongyuan for five days, and not a single test paper has been approved?! Then what are you going to Gongyuan for?!
Emperor Hongzhi was so angry that he looked at Yan Chengjin and was speechless for a long time.
Finally, Zhang Sheng didn't want to make any extraneous branches, so he bowed down and said: "Zhang Bang tells the world that since there is no favoritism, the Ministry of Rites will be written into the canon." β
The admission list of Beizhili should be handed over to the Ministry of Rites, and the imperial court will have tax exemption and leniency for this.
Wei Shen, the new secretary of the Criminal Department, did not want to have another incident.
Ma Wensheng said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the envoy of Annan has reported to Beijing that Li Hui, the king of Annan, has died of illness, and his only son Li Jing has succeeded to the throne. β
Annam, Korea and other vassal states supported a new king, and the approval of the Ming court was required.
The Li people in Annam have always been dissatisfied with the Ming Dynasty, but Li Hui is a pro-Ming faction and pays tribute to the Ming Dynasty on time in August every year.
Yan Chengjin remembered that His Majesty also gave him two skins.
It's a pity that the people who were able to stabilize the southwest died.
Emperor Hongzhi sighed in his heart, looked at Zhang Sheng and ordered: "The Ministry of Rites has drafted an edict to canonize Li Jing as the king of Annam." β
Zhang Sheng snorted.
Zeng Jian's eyes flickered, and he stood up and said: "The prince and the princess have been married for five years, and they have never had an heir, so the minister thinks that it should be put on the agenda." β
The officials thought so, and the prince almost scared them to death when he ran to Ningxia.
In case he dies, the old Zhu family still has a grandson to support.
Emperor Hongzhi also felt strange, Zeng Jian's words reminded him, and turned his head to look at Xiao Jing: "What is the prince doing at night recently?" β
Xiao Jing panicked in his heart, how did the slave know what he was doing......
"Back to Your Majesty, the living note has been abolished, and the slaves and maids don't know."
During the Hongwu period, a living note was set up to record the emperor's daily life and court discussions.
But by the time of Ming Xuanzong, it was abolished.
As a result, later generations have very little understanding of the emperor's living habits, and a few general sentences, such as why Zhu Houzhao has no queen, cannot be recorded.
Yan Chengjin muttered to himself in his heart, Zhu Houzhao shouldn't steal the palace maid in the palace, right?
Emperor Hongzhi's brows gradually furrowed, this kind of thing is not an endorsement, and others can't push it.
Liu Jian bowed and said: "The historian is to record his words and deeds, there is no living note official in the palace today, and many important matters must not be recorded. β
Li Dongyang bowed his head, only in this way did he know what His Majesty and the crown prince had done.
Emperor Hongzhi pulled the corners of his mouth with a smile.
No emperor wants to be recorded in his words and deeds, just record his room, and in the future, when he goes out of the palace, he will also be recorded in the annals of history.
"This ...... Let's start with the crown prince. β
Li Dongyang and Liu Jian glanced at each other and suddenly realized.
Micro-visits are lazy politics, and His Majesty certainly does not want to be recorded in the annals of history.
Emperor Hongzhi took a deep breath and said: "Record the prince's sleep, I want to know the reason why there are no heirs, Yan Qingjia, I have seen you frowning for a long time, do you have something to say?" β
Take off your pants to see if it's faster, maybe it's the skin that's growing.
Yan Chengjin said euphemistically: "Why don't you let the imperial doctor take a look at your body first?" β
Baiguan's face was strange, and he understood what Yan Chengjin meant.
Emperor Hongzhi's face was pale, as if he had been insulted: "Since the prince was young, I have seen it, and it is no different from ordinary people!" β
β¦β¦
Outside the noon gate,
Yan Chengjin was waiting for the sedan chair, but found that behind the sedan chair, there was a happy scholar, who was Yan Song.
Holding a string of bacon in his hand, he bowed to him: "Thank you Lord Yan for your grace of rain and dew!" The student wants to worship in the Enfu and become a protΓ©gΓ© of Master Yan. β
Yan Song bowed and offered a string of bacon.
If Lord Yan accepts it, he will kneel down and prostrate his head, and perform the salutation of restraint.
Yan Chengjin was very moved, and then rejected him.
"This official never accepts gifts, only receives gifts from His Majesty, if you are grateful, be a good official."
The surrounding officials looked at it, how could this son show his handle in front of everyone.
I'm afraid that the latter sentence is also said to them.
Fei Hong looked at Yan Song and Yan Chengjin, but felt strange, he heard that Yan Chengjin had never brought anyone else, but he argued with Li Gong in the Gongyuan to promote Yan Song as Xie Yuan.
I'm afraid this scholar named Yan Song doesn't know about this matter.
Yan Song was stunned and saw Yan Chengjin sit in a sedan chair.
At night, the East Palace.
Zhu Houzhao raised his head suspiciously, always feeling uncomfortable being watched.
After a moment, his head poked out of the curtain, and sure enough, not far away, he saw a little eunuch holding a pen and paper, burying his head in what seemed to be recording something.
"The palace is going to have sex, what are you standing here for?"
The little eunuch's face was embarrassed: "Your Majesty asked the slaves and maids to record your daily life, and it will not leak." β
"That Hongu is not going to work."
The crown princess's face was full of black lines.
β¦β¦
Early in December, early in the morning,
Not long after Emperor Hongzhi came to summon the hundred officials, the little eunuch hurriedly came in to report: "Your Majesty, this is the prince's living note for January. β
The ministers' eyes turned to the living note.
Especially Zeng Jian, his eyes looked directly at Emperor Hongzhi, is the prince a palace maid? Or can't you do it yourself? The truth is about to be revealed.
Li Dongyang and Liu Jian showed concern.
It is a matter of royal inheritance, if the crown prince has no queen, the throne will be sidelined, and there is not much difference between the prince and the prince dying on the border.
His Majesty's blood is weak, and they hope that the crown prince can inherit the fine tradition of the previous emperor and have ten children.
"Yan Qing's family, look at it yourself, I will say that the prince is not sick!"
Xiao Jing handed over the living note to Yan Chengjin, and he also glanced at it secretly.
Yan Chengjin read the living notes, and became more determined, Zhu Houzhao had to go to Huimin Pharmacy to see the andrology.
