"The minister can't think of a way." Yan Chengjin respectfully handed over the letterhead.

Emperor Hongzhi and the others breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, there was no way for this son, otherwise the prince's tail would have been lifted to the sky.

As for Zhang Yanling's life or death, no one will care.

Zhu Houzhao walked over and whispered: "Lao Gao, if you have the trust of the queen mother, in the future, you will have a backer in the court, just like this palace." ”

Yan Chengjin felt that Zhu Houzhao had some truth in what he said.

Emperor Hongzhi saw the two of them in the main hall, whispering in front of the Queen Mother and him, which was extremely rude.

"What kind of system are you two in?! Talking to the Queen Mother behind my back, can't I hear it? ”

Zhu Houzhao stepped aside stupidly.

Yan Chengjin bowed and said, "The minister has just discussed a method with the prince, maybe it will work." ”

Zhu Houzhao's eyes reflected, Lao Gao, this dog thing really has a way.

Emperor Hongzhi was a little surprised, and Empress Zhang showed a look of anticipation and became solemn.

"Your Majesty, this letter was sent back by someone from the Zhang Mansion?"

Emperor Hongzhi didn't know, so he looked at Xiao Jing, and Xiao Jing understood: "The slave maid will go and ask." ”

After a while, Xiao Jing returned: "Your Majesty, it was sent back by the subordinates who accompanied Jian Changbo to the northwest. ”

Yan Chengjin said: "Maybe it will work, and please ask Your Majesty to allow the minister's chief to enter the palace with him." ”

As he spoke, he gave a few more commands to the Jinyi Guard, half an hour later.

How can he lead a big dog into the palace, Yan Chengjin raised a shepherd dog in Xinfu to watch the family, and he is extremely smart.

The shepherd dog was bought from a Francois man in Liangxiang.

When he saw it, Yan Chengjin was amazed, and Franz trained a large number of sheepdogs, two hundred years later.

This breed of dog was used in large numbers for search and reconnaissance in later generations.

In the Ming Dynasty, it is used to search for thieves' dens in the deep mountains and old forests, as well as the southeast coast to search for the Japanese bandits, and the northwest desert to catch horse bandits, all of which are extremely applicable.

Yan Chengjin was thinking about whether to set up a dog team in Daming, the official dog yamen.

How could he see the emperor and the queen mother and others, and there was not much panic, and they saluted the three people, and these etiquettes were taught in the family rules.

Liu Jian pointed at the dog and said disapprerovitically: "Yan Chengjin, this is what you are talking about?" ”

The ancients knew that dogs could watch the door, but they didn't know that their sense of smell was far beyond that of ordinary people and extremely sensitive.

In the mountains and forests of Guizhou, Guangxi, and Jiangxi, the governors who suppressed bandits led troops every day to climb over the deep mountains and old forests to search for them in a carpet manner.

Therefore, suppressing bandits is the hardest errand in the Ming Dynasty, and no one wants to do this work.

If there is an official dog searching, a large number of bandits can be caught quickly.

Yan Chengjin said: "Don't look down on this dog, it's smart, you can find a bandit den hidden in the mountains, if Lord Liu doesn't believe it, you can try." ”

Liu Jian took off the white jade on his waist, how could he put it on the dog's nose like a treasure: "Zhao, whose is this?" ”

I saw that the dog sniffed it and walked to Liu Jianjian and sat down.

Emperor Hongzhi was amazed and exclaimed in surprise: "This dog is smart!" ”

Yan Chengjin nodded and said: "Send this dog to the northwest, you can find the whereabouts of the bandits without searching for it, Yang Yiqing will definitely get twice the result with half the effort to eliminate the bandits." ”

Li Dongyang and Xie Qian were amazed, they don't have dogs at home, they can't think of dogs, and there is such a wonderful use?

"If there is such a dog, then looking for the toast in the southwest, wouldn't it be easy to catch it?" Xie Qian asked.

The Tusi in the southwest dared to confront the imperial court, because they were confident that they could hide in the mountains and escape the search and arrest of the imperial court.

Yan Chengjin nodded: "Lord Xie is right, it's just that there are not many dogs, and if there are more Francos brought by them, they can be used in the southwest." ”

Liu Jian and the others felt deep pity.

Emperor Hongzhi said: "Without further ado, send it to the northwest." ”

Coming out of the Kunning Palace,

Zhu Houzhao followed behind the shepherd dog and asked with a smile, "What is it called?" ”

He Neng said with a smile: "It's called Lao Zhao, the name given by the young master, thanks to the prince's liking." ”

"Lao Gao, your name is always so indecent, this dog came back from the northwest, so you will give it to the palace, right?" Zhu Houzhao said happily.

didn't seem to hear it, Yan Chengjin said disapprerovitically: "The minister wants to use it to see the new courtyard, and if you buy it for three hundred taels of silver, you can't give it to Your Highness." ”

It is also extremely difficult for Liangxiang to see the second one.

Not long after, the military department ordered someone to take the dog away and send it to the northwest.

……

Liangxiang,

Wang Shouren lectured in the library, and there were many great Confucians who came to challenge him every day, and even Yang Tinghe came.

Today is the day of the spring of the fifteenth year of Hongji.

Yan Chengjin came to the Gongyuan and said: "After the test, it will be the palace test, and the official can't help you anything, you have to work hard."

When the official read the past and the present, he had the first three yuan, and now that he thinks about it, he also earned it with hard work. ”

He Neng watched Yan Chengjin boast in front of people, his face became disdainful, the young master obviously rarely reads, and has been memorizing the answers to the questions written by the master, and he sleeps every day, and he doesn't wake up until midnight.

Song Jing said with a ashamed face: "Students are far inferior to adults, students will work hard." ”

Zhu Houzhao came on a little mare, Liu Jin held the reins, pointed to the distance and said, "Your Highness, Song Jing is there!" ”

Song Jing is Zhu Houzhao's warrior, and the test is the most important part of the selection, so he naturally wants to take a look.

"Do you want Hongu to teach you how to cheat?"

Song Jing's face changed continuously, Zhu Houzhao often had exams in the James Mansion, and he was very experienced in cheating, so he couldn't help but want to teach it to Song Jing.

He was riding on a horse, his voice was not small, and the scholars around him looked over and recognized that this was Zhu Xiucai, the little one in Liangxiang, and turned his face away.

Xiao Zhu Xiucai's behavior is often unexpected, even if it is fraud, there is nothing unusual.

Song Jingchao Zhu Houzhao waved slightly: "Students don't dare." ”

Zhu Houzhao said unhappily: "It won't be discovered, otherwise with your elm head, how can you be admitted?" If you can't pass the Huiyuan exam, the palace will send you to the palace as a eunuch. ”

Yan Chengjin looked at Liu Jin, Liu Jin hurriedly waved his hand and cried: "It's not what we taught, Lord Yan, don't misunderstand." ”

Zhu Houzhao is competitive, and he has already regarded several warriors as his sons, Wang Shouren met Lao Gao, and it is understandable that he did not get the top prize.

But the candidates who took the same exam as Song Jing were all rookies, especially Xie Pi, who was stupid, every time he saw him, he would only say one sentence: The student has seen His Royal Highness, and he looks down on such a nerd the most.

Song Jing said goodbye and walked into the Tribute Courtyard.

Yan Chengjin saw Li Dongyang and Zhang Sheng standing in front of the door, and didn't stay long, so he went back to the duty room of the Ducha Hospital.

At this time, Zhou Yu stood on the road that must be passed by the Ducha Academy, and when he saw Yan Chengjin, he greeted him, and said with a smile: "Virtuous nephew, the old man hasn't talked to you about business for a long time." ”

"What is the matter with Chang Ningbo looking for an official?" Yan Chengjin kept a distance of three meters, not wanting to associate too much with Zhou Yu, "Uncle doesn't know, if he fornicates with his relatives, he will be impeached?" ”

"The old man will leave after speaking, it won't hurt you, the collapsed house business in the northwest will be given to the old man, right?" Zhou Yu grimaced.

His Majesty made a decree and dared to rob it, it seems that Zhou Yu also knows that as long as the Silk Road continues to open, he can make money for hundreds of years.

Just like Mt. Fuji in later generations, as long as the mountain is still there, the Tokugawa family will always be able to collect rent.

Yan Chengjin said: "Uncle can take it if he wants." ”

When Zhou Yu has built the collapsed house, he will report to His Majesty, so that these illegal buildings will all be his.

It doesn't cost a dime to build a collapsed house on the entire Silk Road in the northwest.

Zhou Yu was overjoyed when he heard this: "Virtuous nephew, the old man looks at the whole capital, and you are the only one who is a Qing official." ”

Yan Chengjin hurriedly arched his hand and said: "Don't dare to be, I also asked the lord to set up a note first, which was approved by His Majesty." ”

Zhou Yu was dumbfounded, thought about it and said, "Your Majesty naturally allows it." ”

This son must not know that he has begged His Majesty, but His Majesty will not allow it.

What he didn't know was that Yan Chengjin already knew that he had begged His Majesty, what Liu Jin said.

Early the next morning, Yan Chengjin took leave from Emperor Hongzhi and went to the Li Mansion.

Li Dongyang had to retreat in the Gongyuan for three days, and at this time, the Li Mansion was empty.

Li Qing'e was wearing a azure long skirt, delicate and a little plump.

She often works as a female celebrity in the house, in addition to reading, and occasionally goes to Xie Mansion to find Xie Xiangling.

The fat maid smiled and said, "Lord Yan hasn't come to see Miss for a long time." ”

This fat girl is always so enthusiastic that Yan Chengjin always feels that she has some dangerous thoughts.

couldn't help but look at He Neng on the side, if Qing'e married into the Yan Mansion, she would marry this fat girl to He Neng.
