Wang Shouren said respectfully: "King Ning wants to see the old brother, why do you need to be recommended by the officials?" ”

"This man seems to be a little cautious, and if you bring this king to him, he will not have any mustard in his heart." Zhu Chenhao thought to himself, with Wang Shouren's relationship, it would be easier to pull Yan Chengjin into the account.

To start a business, you need a resourceful minister, he took the initiative to visit, what about Corporal Lixian?

Wang Shouren fell into deep thought.

It is not difficult for King Ning to inquire into the mansion of the old brother, and if the old brother readily agrees, King Ning will not come to him.

Now, King Ning is being assessed by the vassal king's plan, but he still comes to look for him.

It must be that he has looked for the old brother, and he knows that the old brother will not meet.

"This official will help the prince ask, but the old brother is not hospitable, so don't expect it."

Wang Shouren came to the small courtyard next to the yamen in Liangxiang, and Yan Chengjin avoided the questioning of hundreds of officials and took a leave of absence for a few days.

"Old brother, King Ning wants to see you."

Yan Chengjin was not surprised, he had already heard from Jin Yiwei that King Ning's housekeeper had come to inquire about him, and asked for directions to the alley in front of Yan's mansion.

"Nope."

Wang Shouren bowed his hand slightly and went back to report.

……

In early October, the snow is cold in the early morning.

Preparing for winter, it was so cold that the ministers couldn't straighten their waists and sat in the duty room with hot water bladders.

The vassal king's plan has been going on for a month.

"Today, I'm afraid that the hundred officials are going to be impeached again." Liu Jian looked at the weather outside the window.

In the winter of previous years, many homeless people had to freeze to death on Qianmen Street and Chengxian Street in the capital.

Now that the displaced people are resettled in Liangxiang, they can't see it, but they can also imagine the scene of hunger and cold in Liangxiang.

"Well, it's getting colder, and if it goes on like this, I'm afraid that someone will freeze to death, and it's time for the vassal king to return to Beijing." Li Dongyang said.

The three of them took the board and came to the left door to prepare to go to court.

The road is slippery on a snowy day, and there will definitely be officials who are worried about the comfort of the vassal kings, Yan Chengjin wanted to take a day off.

However, Emperor Hongzhi did not allow it......

He also specially sent someone to tell him that he would go to court today.

"Whatever is going to be played today, the officials will come first, I will listen."

Ma Wensheng held the Gram card and stepped forward: "Three years are here again, and the annual plan of the hundred officials is about to start preparing." ”

The last time was the twelfth year of Hongzhi, and now it is the fifteenth year of Hongzhi, and the year is approaching, which just determines the promotion and promotion of hundreds of officials.

When the ministers of the Sixth Ministry and the Metropolitan Procuratorate heard this, they were in high spirits, and it was time to make achievements.

"Your Majesty, it's cold, and there is a bullet from the Ministry of Rites in Nanjing, begging Your Majesty to return the vassal king to the fief."

"The same is true of the Ministry of Industry in Nanjing."

"It's the same with the household."

Ever since the vassal king was summoned to Beijing, Emperor Hongji was under tremendous pressure.

He also wanted to put the vassal kings back, but he couldn't help but expect the vassal kings to wake up and be thrifty and love the people.

"Yan Qing's family, can the vassal king's plan be over?"

Yan Chengjin lowered his head and rummaged through the assessment book in his cuffs, there were too many bullet badges hidden, and he couldn't find them for a while.

"The person of the superior assessment has been born, and several vassal kings have improved, and Your Majesty really wants to recall it?"

Emperor Hongzhi looked up, only to see Yan Chengjin holding a booklet in his hand, and he was faintly excited.

Li Dongyang and Liu Jian turned around and looked at the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

The hundred officials looked suspicious, could it be that Wang Shouren said that the refining was really effective?

"Who is the one who deserves the highest rating?" Liu Jian asked eagerly.

"It's the Prince!"

Wow~

There is a commotion among the officials, the prince has always been tyrannical, your assessment is fake, right?

"How can it be the crown prince? It should be King Ning and King Yi! Xie Qian was puzzled.

"Your Majesty can ask the Jinyi Guard and the secret agent." Yan Chengjin continued: "By the way, please also ask Your Majesty to issue an order to recall the crown prince." ”

Sure enough, no one cares about Zhu Houzhao.

……

Liangxiang,

Zhu Houzhao is fighting roosters on the street, there are too many ideas to make money, and he really can't make it.

"Mighty General! Peck it to death! ”

Mu Bin couldn't hold on anymore in Liangxiang, and he wanted to go back to the capital every day and night, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had a lot of fun.

The spy came to report: "My lord, Your Majesty has an order to let His Highness return to the palace." ”

Mu Bin's nose was slightly sour, the hard days were finally over, and he was busy pulling Zhu Houzhao, who was dancing with his hands, and persuaded in a low voice: "Your Highness, you can go back to the palace." ”

"Back to the palace? This palace doesn't want to go back to the palace, this palace has to be rated inferior, how to go back to the palace? ”

"Your Highness has received a first-class assessment, and you can return to the palace."

"This palace has received a superior rating?" Zhu Houzhao was dumbfounded.

Mu Bin knew that Zhu Houzhao had agreed with Yan Chengjin that he could only give him an inferior assessment.

It seems that he can only go back to the palace to report to His Majesty.

Liangxiang, College of Inheritance.

Zhu Youji, the king of Ru, held three taels of silver in his hand, and said ashamedly to the scholar on the side: "Brother Li, this is a tael of silver owed to you, and I will return it all." ”

"You're kind!"

The official engineer of Kaoliang Township is too easy for Zhu Youji.

Zhu Youzhen has only been in the domain for a year, and the fief is in Henan, which is very close to Liangxiang.

When he was in the capital, he liked the strange objects in the good country, and he was not allowed to leave the capital without permission because of the ban in the palace.

After taking the domain, he bought a lot of items in Liangxiang, and this time he entered Beijing, thanks to the blessing of the vassal king's plan, and finally had the opportunity to come to Liangxiang to observe.

"Except for the official engineers, the rest of the engineers are as difficult as the sky, and no matter how hard you work, you won't be able to pass the exam," Li Zengguang said to Zhu Youji.

Zhu Youzhen didn't care, and continued to flip through physics books.

The spy hurriedly reported to Yan Chengjin: "My lord, King Ru wants to test the engineer of Liangxiang. ”

There are ten assessment lists of vassal kings on the bookcase, Yan Chengjin opened the assessment book of King Ru, and among the ten vassal kings, King Zhu Youqi had the easiest time.

As soon as I arrived in Liangxiang, I took the Liangxiang official phone engineer exam and received three taels of silver every month.

"He is not allowed to take the test, has he been admitted?"

If this guy has two engineers' iron rice bowls, won't it become a loophole in the vassal king's plan, and how can he experience the suffering of the people at the bottom?

The spy saw that Yan Chengjin's face was wrong, and hurriedly said, "Not yet, prepare for the exam in Liangxiang."

Afraid that King Ru would not be able to pass the exam, he was afraid that King Ru would be able to pass the exam, so Yan Chengjin left the palace and took the carriage to Liangxiang.

When he came to the Faculty of Science, Zhu Youji was in the corner of the teaching house, looking through Song Jingxin's Tiangong.

"Zhu Youji?"

"It's down there, what's the matter with Brother Tai?" Zhu Youqi stood up and acted like a scholar.

"This official is the supervisor of the vassal king's plan, and the king of you relies on engineers to take advantage of opportunism, and has violated the law."

Yan Chengjin wanted to personally come up with the exam questions beyond the syllabus, so that no one could pass the exam, but in this way, the hard work of the children of the homeless officials who studied hard in the cold window was wasted.

"This king doesn't care about the rating, and I ask you to report to Your Majesty." Zhu Youzhen wanted to take advantage of this feudal king's plan to study science in Liangxiang.

Yan Chengjin is in trouble, people don't want to rank, can you still force you to participate?

"The test papers will be reviewed and approved by this official, and you will not be able to pass the exam."

"You! It's not fair! ”

"Then the next official is fair once, and if you can't answer the question of King Ru's science, King Ru will give up the exam himself, how about it?"

"Okay, you say!"

Yan Chengjin thought about it, and with the mentality of killing Zhu Youji, he finally came up with a question: "One hundred taels of silver and one copper coin, thrown to the ground, who will land first?" ”

"One hundred taels of silver weighs one hundred taels of silver, so naturally it is one hundred taels of silver." Zhu Youzhen smiled contemptuously, a little doubtful of Yan Chengjin's level as a marking officer.

"The prince answered wrong, and he landed at the same time."

Zhu Youji's face stiffened, like a lightning bolt struck his mouth, and his jaw almost didn't fall.

"Go back, prince."

Yan Chengjin didn't bother to explain to him, quickly.

Zhu Youqi stood in place like a wooden chicken, the books on science have been read seven or eight times out of ten, how can it be that they landed at the same time?

He didn't believe it, but he didn't have a hundred taels of silver in hand.

Stone!

You may use stones instead of a hundred taels of silver.

Back in the small courtyard, before Yan Chengjin's leather drum was hot, he heard the secret agent panic and ran in to report: "Lord Yan is not good, King Ru climbed the eaves of the fifth floor of the Qingshan Library, and he was about to jump down, and he died a hundred times." ”

Yan Chengjin was shocked, he couldn't imagine that Zhu Youji was so persistent.

At the bottom of the Qingshan Library, the black pressure is full of people, looking up at the excitement.

Zhu Youzhen climbed from the window on the fifth floor of the library to the eaves, the wind was very strong, and his legs kept trembling.

The spy on the ground panicked: "Jump... No... Enter the palace to report to Your Majesty! ”
