Ning Shouhou and Jian Changbo have been looking for Yan Chengjin's mansion hard, and they hired people to spend money, but they were reluctant, so they only entered the palace today to trust the relationship.

"Brother...... You see, isn't that kid? ”

Ning Shouhou turned his gaze, and a group of civil officials who came out of the Fengtian Palace, one of them, wearing a unicorn costume given by the emperor, was somewhat conspicuous.

Zhang Heling's face turned red for a moment.

"Yes, that's him!"

As soon as Yan Chengjin got down the imperial steps of Fengtian Temple, two figures swished, one left and one right, grabbing his arm.

"Lose money!"

"That's right! Money! ”

Someone dares to touch porcelain in the palace? I really don't take his skin seriously! Yan Chengjin saw that it was the Zhang family brothers, and he heard Zeng Jian say that the brothers wanted to settle accounts with him.

"The two lords are talking about the Song telescope?"

Zhang Heling sneered, he was afraid that this kid would not admit it, but now that he had confessed, he just calculated it with him: "Those two telescopes cost our brother 20,000 taels of silver, and in the past so many days, money has made money again, and you have to repay the interest on the silver borrowed from the bank, and you have to repay 40,000 taels!" ”

Zhang Yanling looked at his brother and smiled, brother, you are so smart, you earned 20,000 taels for nothing!

"Do the two lords know that Weiyuan won the battle?" Yan Chengjin asked.

"It's our brother's business!"

"Yes, pay back the money quickly, don't try to deny it, if you don't have money, you can sell the house, and if you sell the house, it's not enough, just hand over the salaries of your father and son!" Zhang Heling was triumphant.

Yan Chengjin said casually: "Why don't you care about the uncle, if you win the battle, you will have military merits, and the two lords have contributed to the Song telescope, which is a great achievement."

Silver can't be exchanged for military merits, you can think about it, the lower official gave the silver, these two binoculars are the lower official's, and then the lower official will ask His Majesty for merit. ”

"Want to lie to my brother? How could Your Majesty be so generous! ”

"The lower official just admonished, so he added Yulu, and the one he just added, ten taels of silver."

Zhang Heling pondered, he had always wanted to be the prince of the country, but there was no reason to ask for credit.

It is impossible for a relative like him to lead troops into battle, let alone make military merits.

At present, this reason seems to have something to do with military merits, and when the time comes, I will ask my mother......

Zhang Heling pulled Zhang Yanling aside: "Brother has long seen that the British Duke is not pleasing to the eye, and when my brother becomes the Duke of the Kingdom, my brother will protect you, this time I will ask Your Majesty for a try." ”

"Brother wants to covet my credit?" Zhang Yanling quit.

"When you are a younger brother, you must be humble to your brother, and the Zhang family is still my master!"

"I've got money too!"

Yan Chengjin said: "The two uncles discussed first, and the officials were on duty." ”

In the Fengtian Temple,

Not long after the hundred officials dispersed, Xiao Jing came in in a whisper to report: "Your Majesty, Ning Shouhou and Jian Changbo ask to see each other, and it seems that they want to ask Your Majesty for a reward." ”

"What reward do they want?"

"Ning Shouhou said that what Wei Yuanwei used to defend against the enemy was their Song family's telescope......

Emperor Hongji frowned.

Xiao Jing said again: "Your Majesty doesn't know, when these two Song telescopes were requisitioned, Ning Shouhou and Jian Changbo also went to the minister's mansion to cry and make trouble......

Emperor Hongji sighed.

It's shameless.

I pay them every month, and when it's time to bargain with me.

Just with a little relationship, they dare to come to ask for military merits, the city wall is still built by peddlers and pawns, is it difficult + to ask them for military merits, as well as the Ordnance Bureau that makes artillery.

Emperor Hongzhi asked Xiao Jing to call them in.

After the Zhang brothers entered the Fengtian Palace, they honestly knelt on the ground, "Your Majesty, I heard that the minister's telescope won the battle in Weiyuan?" ”

Emperor Hongzhi was too lazy to say it, and motioned for Xiao Jing to give a reward.

I saw that there were two ingots of silver on the tray neatly.

Xiao Jing whispered: "Your Majesty said, ten taels per person, don't rob it." ”

That's it? Send it to Hanako!

Zhang Heling's old face flushed, do you still need to rob this, who do you look down on, "Your Majesty, the minister wants to be promoted." ”

"Your Majesty, the minister also wants to ......"

Emperor Hongzhi slapped the imperial case, and the brothers were so shocked that they hugged each other stupidly, and Emperor Hongzhi was stunned: "Your brothers are becoming more and more presumptuous, and they dare to ask me for a title." ”

The situation didn't seem to be right, Zhang Yanling was frightened: "Brother, Yan Chengjin is too bad, let us ask for military merits." ”

Zhang Heling was trembling with fright, if he didn't say anything at the moment, he was afraid of being scolded by the cane, remembering that he was beaten a few days ago, Zhang Heling's body instinctively hit the spirit.

"As long as the Song telescope is returned to the minister, this military merit will not be wanted." Zhang Heling was not ashamed, stretched out his hand to collect the twenty taels of silver, and withdrew from the Fengtian Hall as if fleeing.

Two days have passed,

Yan Chengjin stayed in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, but the Zhang brothers did not come to him, presumably because they were reprimanded by Emperor Hongzhi, and they did not dare to cause trouble for the time being.

At noon, the little eunuch of Fengtian Hall summoned him over, and Emperor Hongzhi urgently summoned him.

Fengtian Temple.

Emperor Hongzhi flipped through the impeachment recital on the imperial case, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate was subordinate to the emperor, independent of the court, and not under the jurisdiction of the six ministries, and their recital was directly sent here.

Yan Chengjin, this guy, has been the half-moon imperial history, and he didn't even have a single impeachment recital.

Emperor Hongzhi frowned: "Yan Chengjin, what has he been doing lately, why didn't he see his impeachment." ”

Mu Bin said: "I think it is Your Majesty who has worked hard to govern the world, and the world is clear and Haiyan, so there is nothing to impeach." ”

Emperor Hongzhi sank his face, looked at Mu Bin with straight eyes, and saw that he was weak for a while: "Commander Mu has also learned to pat on the back, I see that he is afraid of offending the minister, so he does not dare to impeach." ”

Li Dongyang nodded: "This son is very talented, but he is extremely cautious, the last time he saw him, he reminded him to dare to present a lawsuit, and the minister felt that no matter what today, he would be forced to hand in an impeachment note." ”

Emperor Hongzhi nodded, there is a first time in everything, remembering that he was seventeen years old, ascended the throne of the Ming Dynasty, and became an emperor for the first time, he was also so timid, he did not dare to reprimand the minister, and he did not dare to give an edict easily.

But God's grace sent him a Qing minister like Huaien to teach him how to be a good emperor.

There are also clear streams such as Wang Shu, Qiu Rui, and Xu Shu, who gave him encouragement and taught him how to draft edicts and how to govern the world.

With their assistance, it has gradually come to this day.

Who doesn't have a first time?

Emperor Hongzhi asked people to call Yan Chengjin.

Yan Chengjin came to the palace and honestly practiced the courtesy, not knowing what Emperor Hongzhi was looking for him, and all kinds of speculations and deductions in his heart.

Emperor Hongzhi had a straight face: "I have been in office for more than half a month, why don't I see your impeachment?" ”

"The minister is still learning, how to write an impeachment recital."

"How long do you have to learn?" Emperor Hongji asked with relief.

Yan Chengjin said: "Three years." ”

Burst......

Li Dongyang almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood, looked away, and didn't want to deal with him.

Liu Jian shook his head, when he was still a subordinate official of the East Palace, how heroic he was to impeach Qiu Rui, the first assistant of the cabinet.

This kid didn't intend to impeach at all.

Emperor Hongzhi had expected that he would shirk, so he ordered someone to bring the imperial paper and send it to Yan Chengjin: "You want to impeach one today!" I will call the shots for you, don't be afraid, and impeach me. ”

Yan Chengjin's face was strange.

And begging others to impeach themselves?

Emperor Hongji was indeed a person who liked to reflect on himself......

"Your Majesty, the minister hasn't decided who to impeach."

"Then impeach one casually, no matter what today, you will also give me an impeachment recital." Emperor Hongzhi said.

Can you still impeach at will?

Forced by Emperor Hongzhi and Li Dongyang and others.

Yan Chengjin thought about it, picked up the pen,

Everyone finally smiled with relief.
