Yan Kesong returned to the team and whispered a few words to Peng Qing and Li An, although the two were puzzled, they also did so, and the team changed from one person to three.

Yan Chengjin nodded.

Suddenly there was another person beside him, and when he turned his head, it was Zhu Houzhao, unlike other people who cheered, Zhu Houzhao cried bitterly and was grief-stricken.

"Your Highness, someone stepped on your foot?" Yan Chengjin was stunned.

Zhu Houzhao beat his chest and said: "If this palace goes on an expedition, now riding on a big horse is this palace!" Zhu Houzhao's infamy can also be washed away, Lao Gao, losing this great opportunity, this palace is so heartbroken! ”

Yan Chengjin patted him on the shoulder, and he really didn't know how to comfort him: "Your Highness's festival condolences are ......."

After sending off his father, Yan Chengjin returned to the house, and Zhu Houzhao returned to the palace.

The house steward said: "The master sent someone back to spread the word, and a banquet was held in the palace to entertain the returning soldiers." ”

Yan Chengjin guessed that his father could be a marquis this time, and the credit for defeating the little prince was too great, I don't know if he would be feuded, if he was fiefdom, wouldn't he give Ningxia a fief.

It is very likely that a place will be selected from the nine sides, and it is called the imperial seal, but in fact, it is the border of the war, where the generations will be imprisoned, and even when they go out of the city, they have to ask the emperor for instructions.

According to the law of the Ming Dynasty, the descendants of the public are not allowed to participate in the imperial examination, and they must eat, drink, and have fun, eat and wait for death.

This is one of the reasons why everyone wants to be knighted.

This rule is not shallow, and the descendants of the prince have other talents.

But this Ming law, but so that many hereditary descendants, can only be trapped in a city, even if they are officials, it is also an errand that does not have to work, a talent, it is difficult to have the opportunity to display, which is also the reason why Ming talents can not be passed on from generation to generation.

went to the border city of Daming and guarded the north gate, Yan Chengjin was unwilling.

The Xiaoice River period is coming, if you go there to live, won't you freeze to death?

Not to mention the climate there, it will be short-lived to worry about the Tatars coming to attack the city all day long.

………………

Forbidden city

Emperor Hongzhi set up a banquet to reward the triumphant soldiers, and Wang Yue was on the side, and he could not leave at will, so among the soldiers who went to the banquet, Yan Kesong sat in the first place.

That is the Dayan Khan, who unified all the tribes of the grassland and made the Ming Dynasty frightened, is the lord of the grassland!

I heard that he was cold-blooded and good at fighting, and all tribes respected him as a steppe hero, and he was an almost god-like existence in the hearts of Tatars.

Since Genghis Khan, few khans have received such high praise.

Emperor Hongzhi still can't believe that Dayan Khan was beaten and fled, and after the Yongle Dynasty, the cavalry of the Ming Dynasty was much weaker than the Tatars, which was also the reason why the Ming Dynasty army did not dare to go deep into the grassland.

"Yan Qing's family defeated the Tatars, and they were rewarded for their meritorious deeds, Yan Qing's family was the first meritorious, and he was named An Dingbo, and Wang Yuejin was the crown prince and the prince, and each general was rewarded differently." Xiao Jing read out the edict that Emperor Hongzhi had already written.

Yan Kesong was grateful: "Minister, thank you, Your Majesty Longen!" ”

Of course, Yan Kesong, the stable uncle, has no fiefdom, only a fortune.

"Your Majesty, the minister has been holding back a sentence for a long time, can my son be hereditary?" Yan Kesong asked respectfully.

Emperor Hongzhi said with a smile: "The Yan Qing family has made a great contribution, of course you can!" ”

"But...... My son has participated in the Shuntianfu Township Test, the dog is not talented, and the middle understands the Yuan, this Ming law ......" Yan Kesong is embarrassed.

There are loopholes in the law, and the same is true of the Great Ming Law.

In order to prevent relatives from having titles and seizing power by becoming big officials through the imperial examination, the Ming Law has long stipulated that after the prince who has a knighthood, he is not allowed to take the imperial examination.

Now, Yan Chengjin has participated in the imperial examination!

Emperor Hongzhi looked at Xiao Jing on the side, and Xiao Jing said: "This is indeed the case, Yan Chengjin learned the Yuan in the township test of Shuntian Mansion. ”

Zhu Houzhao preemptively said: "What's so difficult about this? The imperial examination is in front and the marquis is behind, then Lao Gao is allowed to be an official, and he is also allowed to be a marquis, who is not a feud? ”

Yan Kesong was grateful to the prince.

Emperor Hongzhi glared at him angrily, do you think that as long as you are smart, the imperial examination and hereditary inheritance are allowed, and I am not equivalent to breaking the law of the Ming Dynasty?

Yan Kesong looked at it with an earnest face, he really agreed with the prince's statement.

But everything is subject to His Majesty's will.

Li Dongyang, a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, said: "Although what the prince said is biased, there is one thing that the minister recognizes, the imperial examination is in the front, the marquis is in the back, since Yan Chengjin can get the solution in one fell swoop, he must be a talented person, why bother to rest on his laurels, if he is an official with his own talents, rain and dew, and benefit the people, wouldn't it be better?" ”

Emperor Hongzhi nodded his head and said, "What do you think?" ”

"If Yan Chengjin is an official in the court, he can't attack the title, but he can pass on the descendants of An Dingbo, and it is not a bad law of the Ming Dynasty, what does Your Majesty think?" Liu Jian asked.

If Yan Chengjin becomes an official, the title will be gone, but his son and grandson's generation will still have it.

This is equivalent to intergenerational hereditary.

Yan Kesong's title of Count Anding can be passed on, and Yan Chengjin will not delay participating in the imperial examination by himself.

Emperor Hongzhi said: "Then it is decided, can Uncle Anding have any objections?" ”

"Minister, thank you, Your Majesty!"

Zhu Hou glanced at Emperor Hongzhi, but Emperor Hongzhi didn't think of him at all, he couldn't help but say: "Father, this time Helan Mountain is a great victory, and the sons also have merits, and the father and emperor should be rewarded for meritorious deeds, and the sons should also be credited, why only reward Master Yan and not the sons!" ”

"Yan Qing's family is proficient in the art of war, and the little art of war in your stomach was taught by Master Yan, right? The interception of the military newspaper, and the secret book, I haven't settled accounts with you yet! Recommending Yan Aiqing this time is a credit to you, but the merits are worth it. Emperor Hongzhi said.

Zhu Houzhao looked at the cabinet as if asking for help, Li Dongyang picked up the wine glass, Liu Jian took a bite of the dish, Xie Qian was peeling broad beans, and there was no master who spoke for him......

"Oh, Erchen knows." The hero does not suffer the immediate loss, and will settle accounts with the dog emperor in the future.

After the feast, he went out of the warm pavilion.

The cabinet was headed by Liu Jian, and the others walked behind in twos and threes, and Yan Kesong caught up with Li Dongyang and said: "The lower officials have thanked Li Gong and Liu Gong." ”

Li Dongyang said: "Don't misunderstand, Lord Yan, in public and private, the battle between you and me in the literary world is still valued in the hearts of this official." ”

For the literary world, Li Dongyang insisted on his own opinions, peering into the Tang Dynasty and studying poetry in the Han and Tang Dynasties.

Back at the house, Yan Kesong called Yan Chengjin to the study, and the father and son closed the door and talked at night.

"Cheng Jin, after this meritorious deed, my father is going to the border of Ningxia again, you don't have to go with my father, the title can't fall on your head, and my father doesn't know if it's good or not." Yan Kesong sighed.

Winning the battle against the troops led by the little prince showed his military talent, Emperor Hongzhi would not let such a general go.

was sent to the border again, in Yan Chengjin's expectation, unless the north of the Ming Dynasty will never have external troubles, otherwise, it is impossible for my father to come back in this life.

When he heard the news, Yan Chengjin was still relatively happy, after all, he didn't let him go to the side to eat and wait for death, there were still a lot of opportunities.

Daddy Andingbo's rice bowl is broken, the Zhu family is here, the rice is there, it is better than being a homeless person.
