Li Qing'e didn't expect that when her father was away, Yan Chengjin would come to visit the house, and her face was a little shy: "Lord Yan is kind to my father, and this new dress should be Qing'e to repay the adult." ”

"Give it to the villain, the young master won't wear it." He Neng happily took the new clothes and put them on his body.

followed the young master to Yanfu and got a new dress!

Since becoming a Shangguan, the young master does not eat food given by others, nor does he wear clothes given by others, these things are all his.

Wang Zhao of the palace is very envious of him, Wang Zhao is Wang Yue's coachman, and he will be familiar with it when he comes to Yanfu more.

Li Qing'e's face moved slightly, and she stopped talking, listening to her father, Lord Yan does not eat food given by others, nor does she wear clothes given by others.

Yan Chengjin noticed her abnormality, so he said to He Neng: "Put it away for Young Master Ben." ”

Li Qing'e's face was a little embarrassed and said: "Father went to the Gongyuan, if Lord Yan is looking for him, please come back in three days." ”

She hasn't left the cabinet yet, and she has been alone with Yan Chengjin for too long in private, and it is rumored that it is humiliating.

Li Qing'e is a person who knows etiquette, even if she wants to have a long talk with Yan Chengjin, but Li Dongyang is not there, it is not good after all.

Yan Chengjin nodded and said, "This official just looks at the cold, so I came to see you." ”

Coming out of the Lee Mansion,

He Neng hugged the new clothes with a happy face, and said to Yan Chengjin: "Young master, this dress is so good, just the little one will wear it tomorrow." ”

Yan Chengjin gave him a look and let him experience it himself.

He Neng understood instantly, and said with a wilted face: "The little one will help the young master wash it up and put it away when he goes back." ”

"Hmm."

Yan Chengjin was a little relieved.

Three days later, the test ended.

When he went to court, Yan Chengjin didn't see Li Dongyang, and he must have read the papers in the palace hall.

In the past few days, Liu Jian has mostly reported major events in the DPRK and China to His Majesty.

The Great Wall built in the northwest has been more than 500 miles, from Gansu to Jiayuguan, along the border towns twists and turns.

"Your Majesty, the princess of Baoguo is begging and returning to the capital to save relatives." Liu Jian looked up at Emperor Hongzhi.

Emperor Hongzhi snorted lightly, remembering his resistance to the decree, and said: "I made the decree at the beginning, the Great Wall is not completed, and he is not allowed to return to Beijing, what will he do when he returns to Beijing!" ”

The British Duke Zhang Maoping stayed in the Beijing camp every day, and his cousin sent someone to send him to the early court.

"Your Majesty, Zhu Hui's repair of the Great Wall can be regarded as meritorious, why don't you let him go back to the capital?"

Yan Chengjin pondered for a moment and said, "What the British public said is very true. ”

Liu Jian and the others were a little surprised that this son actually pleaded for Zhu Hui.

What they didn't know was that Yan Chengjin just wanted his father to go back to his home and do a physical examination.

When His Majesty agreed, he asked the beggar to let his father return to Beijing.

Emperor Hongzhi fell into deep thought, and at this time, several more people interceded for Zhu Hui and asked His Majesty to allow him to return to the capital.

"According to the British public, he is allowed to stay in the capital for two days."

Zhang Mao hurriedly knelt on the ground: "Thank you, Your Majesty!" ”

At this moment, Yan Chengjin's voice sounded: "Your Majesty, Marquis Anding has been guarding the border for a year, and there is no merit and hard work, please allow him to return to the capital." ”

Isn't Andinghou your father?

The faces of the officials were strange, and there was no squeak.

Emperor Hongzhi did not stop him, and said: "Well, it's okay to come to the northwest if you want to, let him come back." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Yan Chengjin bowed slightly.

Today, he found a strange thing, Zhou Yu is gone, I don't know if he ran to the northwest?

In the capital, the streets and alleys are talking about this Huiyuan.

Undoubtedly, it is another battle between the north and the south.

Xie Pi is the most vocal in the south, and Kang Hai is the highest in the north.

Some people also say that it is Song Jing.

Although Xie Pi and Song Jing participated in the township test in Beizhili, they were both southerners, while Kang Hai was considered a northerner.

Yan Chengjin's sedan chair passed by Qianmen Street in the capital and heard the discussion of the readers.

……

The library of Liangxiang, Kang Hai and Xie Pi are very famous here.

The scholars bet on the silver, some bought Xie Pi, and some bought Kang Hai, but Song Jing rarely bet.

"Didn't His Highness say that Song Jing would win Huiyuan?"

Zhu Houzhao smiled and said to Yan Chengjin: "This palace believes that Song Jing will definitely win Huiyuan." ”

But the hand was very honest and bet the silver on Xie Pi.

Many people pressed Xie Pi because he was the Xie Yuan of Shuntian Mansion.

However, these people guessed wrong.

According to historical records, Xie Pi fell off the list this year, and he was admitted to Tanhua in the eighteenth year of Hongzhi, and his father and son were in the first place.

The person who has the potential to win Huiwon is Kang Hai.

Or maybe it's Song Jing.

Yan Chengjin heard that after Yang Yiqing was sent to the northwest to quell the bandits, Kang Hai was depressed.

Kang Hai, like Li Mengyang, is a disciple of Yang Yiqing.

"Lao Gao, this palace exchanged the little mare for some silver with you?" Zhu Houzhao felt that there was no money to be earned, but it was a pity.

Tomorrow morning, the list will be revealed.

Yan Chengjin said: "Your Highness's little mare, the minister is not interested, however, the minister advises His Highness not to bet all the silver on Xie Pi, otherwise it will ......."

"How else?" Zhu Houzhao asked.

"Otherwise...... His Royal Highness wants to sell popcorn for a year. ”

Zhu Houzhao thought about it, but put down the silver and waited for tomorrow's list.

Early the next morning, in the temple of heaven,

The weather is getting warmer, and the morning dynasty has changed from the warm pavilion to here.

Emperor Hongji was sitting on the throne, looking at the minister, and he was in a very good mood.

Liu Jian bowed slightly and said, "Your Majesty, Shangzhen, the king of Zhongshan in the Ryukyus, sent Cheng Lian, the righteous doctor, to pay tribute. ”

Yan Chengjin's heart moved slightly, and Ryukyu would soon be restless again.

Wang Shangzhen showed favor to Da Ming at this time, but he just wanted to borrow troops and seek refuge at that time.

Emperor Hongzhi smiled at the corner of his mouth, and snorted lightly: "Ryukyu has paid tribute to our dynasty again, so let's give back brocade silk, and Honglu Temple will set up a banquet to entertain me, so as not to lose the number of courtesies of our court." ”

"Obey."

Seeing that there was no minister to play, Emperor Hongzhi said: "I remember well, today is the day of Zhang Bang, why do you still see Li Qing's family?" ”

Xiao Jing said cautiously: "Slave maid go to urge?" ”

Emperor Hongzhi saw the outside of the main hall, revealing half of his head, and when he saw him, he shrank back excitedly.

Yan Chengjin was observant, followed his gaze, and saw Zhu Houzhao lying at the door of the main hall.

I must have bet on the silver yesterday, and I can't wait for the red list.

"Ahem!"

Emperor Hongzhi coughed dryly, and the ministers thought he was uncomfortable, and advised him to take care of the dragon's body.

Outside the main hall, Zhu Houzhao waited with his eyes in his eyes, looking left and right.

At this moment, in the Guangting outside the Fengtian Palace, a person wearing a crimson official robe hurriedly walked over.

"Here, go and cut off the red list for the palace!"

Liu Jin was in trouble and said, "Your Highness, that's Master Li." ”

Zhu Houzhao shrank when he heard this, he didn't dare to intercept Li Dongyang's red list, in the palace, except for Emperor Hongzhi, what he was most afraid of was the three masters of the cabinet, especially Li Dongyang.

After thinking about it, I felt that it was wrong.

"What are you afraid of, this palace is kind to Master Li, and I also helped him cut ......"

"Your Highness!"

Li Dongyang had a dark face and stood behind Zhu Houzhao, Zhu Houzhao hurriedly swallowed the words behind him, and said, "Master Li, is this Kehuiyuan Xie Pi?" ”

Li Dongyang ignored him, held the copied red list, and strode into the hall.

"Your Majesty, the results of the examination have been released, please take a look at it."

Xiao Jing walked down quickly, presented the red list, and spread it out in front of Emperor Hongzhi.

Xie Qian was a little nervous, looking at the red list with his mouth slightly open, and his toes unconsciously lifted.

Li Dongyang looked at him with a somewhat complicated gaze.

Yan Chengjin pondered for a moment, he hoped that the person in the middle was Song Jing.

After a while, Emperor Hongzhi said with a smile on his face: "This Song Jing is the Song Jing who made the astronomical telescope and the Hongyi general, right?" ”

Zeng Jian was a little excited, and said with a smile: "Back to Your Majesty, it's him, Song Jing is the minister's protégé, and he neglects to teach on weekdays, I don't know how he did in the exam?" ”

Emperor Hongzhi looked at the list and read it softly: "The first on the list is Song Jing." ”

Outside the main hall, Zhu Houzhao hugged the palace door and hit his head, Liu Jin cried urgently: "You can earn it again if the silver is gone, Your Highness don't hurt yourself." ”

The ministers looked at each other, what is the prince doing?

Only Yan Chengjin knew that Zhu Houzhao had lost all the two thousand taels of silver that he had taken back to the loom factory, along with the little mare......
