This time, Li Dongyang chose Wang Shouren.

Wang Shouren said: "Kong Rong is the twentieth grandson of the Confucian saint, and he is quite famous, but because he drafted the edict for Liang Ji, a relative of the late Eastern Han Dynasty, he ordered the royal family to kill the Qing official Li Gu, and his reputation was ruined, so he could not stay in the Confucian Temple. ”

Yan Chengjin kept raising his hand very high, but Li Dongyang didn't call him anymore, but called other Hanlin who didn't raise their hands.

By noon, the assessment was finally over.

The election of officials in the Hanlin Academy is related to promotion, and it seems that he has to prepare early.

Most of the officials of the six ministries and five temples were selected from the Hanlin Academy.

Cabinet? Not qualified enough.

Among the six departments and five temples, five temples, Yan Chengjin can't look down on them, either sacrifices, or Jiaozhai, and even Dali Temple, one of the three law divisions, is rarely reused by His Majesty, and it is too difficult to make meritorious contributions and be promoted.

Among the six departments, the household department is the worst, and I often have to worry about the waste, and the Hongzhi Emperor swished, maybe I had to post it upside down.

As for the Criminal Department, now that it is peaceful and prosperous, there is no business.

The Ministry of Rites looks good, but it is not good, if you want to serve as an examiner for the imperial examination, you will be said to be a question if you are not careful, not only that, but in the future, you may have to teach Zhu Houzhao that dog thing and his son, but Zhu Houzhao has no son.

Except for Ma Wensheng, few of his subordinates are in the capital, and they often have to go on business trips, either in the border area or on the way to the border area.

As long as the Ministry of Industry starts the work, it will be drowned by the overwhelming saliva, if the Ming Dynasty can also send blades, it is estimated that the Ministry of Industry can self-proclaimed the world's first knife shop.

The intrigue of the four divisions of the Ministry of Officials is serious, and it is a matter of promotion, and everyone wants to intervene in the officials of the Ministry of Officials.

Thinking about it this way, it seems that only the Metropolitan Procuratorate is the best.

The Metropolitan Procuratorate is independent of the six ministries, directly subordinate to the emperor, and its power is not small, even the emperor can impeach it, and very few people dare to impeach the officials of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

Yan Chengjin suddenly had an idea in his heart.

When he left the palace, he saw Mu Bin, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, walking towards the palace.

often comes to the house to inquire about Zhu Houzhao's news, and he can be regarded as an old acquaintance, so Yan Chengjin greeted with a smile: "Commander Mu, I haven't seen you for many days, and I am getting more and more energetic." ”

Mu Bin smiled and began to praise each other: "The official is almost the same age as your father, what kind of spirit, but you are wearing this official uniform, and the official is almost unrecognizable." ”

As the commander of Jinyiwei, Mu Bin thought that he knew Yan Chengjin well, Wang Yue and Cheng Minzheng, after going to Yan's mansion, one became Mr. Chuanshi, and the other became Qingshanjun.

He wondered if there was any deal between the three of them.

After observing for a while, I found that this kid was even lazier than the prince, and he didn't read a few times a day, and he slept when he was in the middle of the day.

In a sense, he doesn't treat Yan Chengjin as a human being.

happened to have something difficult in his heart, so he called Yan Chengjin: "Virtuous nephew and slow, Uncle Shi has something I want to ask you scholars, but it's just ...... Please also ask the nephew to keep it secret. ”

Just returned to the original official, and became Uncle Shi in the blink of an eye?

Yan Chengjin looked at the top of his head, could it be that he wrote the word virtuous nephew on his head, why did everyone call him virtuous nephew.

Yan Chengjin made a gesture: "Since it is a confidential matter, Master Mu still don't tell the lower officials, the lower officials' mouths leaked, and they said goodbye." "As soon as you smear the soles of your feet with oil, spread them out and run.

Mu Bin is faster!

As soon as his arm was captured, he dragged Yan Chengjin to an unknown corner.

"Uncle Shi knows that you have an upright heart, and I have said a lot of good things for you in front of Your Majesty before, but now you need a virtuous nephew, and the virtuous nephew really refuses to help Uncle Shi?" Mu Bin is sincere, as if Yan Chengjin doesn't help, but he is not as good as a beast.

Mu Bin sighed: "This matter is in the palace, it is not a secret, Your Majesty is very concerned about the widow of the Empress Dowager Ji, a while ago, he also canonized a person from the Empress Dowager Ji's clan, and he was the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and now someone says that it is the Empress Dowager Ji's clan, Your Majesty ordered me to investigate, to be honest, Uncle Shi can't find out anything." ”

No wonder the secret post outside the wall for a while, I didn't see Mu Bin, it turned out that he was sent to Guangxi by Emperor Hongzhi.

Empress Dowager Ji is the biological mother of Emperor Hongzhi, but she was persecuted by Concubine Wangui, in order to save Zhu Youzhang's life, showing that she had no intention of competing for favor, and she was hanged in the palace with three feet of white silk.

She never enjoyed the blessings of the imperial family, and she was a great mother, and Emperor Hongji often remembered her.

However, as far as Yan Chengjin knows, during the Datengxia Rebellion in Han Yongping, he had already killed all the people, so what relatives and clans were fake.

Emperor Hongzhi sent people to look for relatives every year.

Yan Chengjin thought about it carefully, and after thinking about it again: "The lower official advises Lord Mu to be cautious, maybe there is fraud in it, Lord Mu thinks, since it is the clan of the Empress Dowager Ji, when His Majesty sent someone to look for it, it should be recognized together, why wait for the previous batch of Ji clan people to be crowned officials, and the latter batch of Ji clan people came out to recognize each other, it is obvious that this method is feasible and wants to follow suit." ”

Mu Bin frowned: "However, this person has a set of genealogy of the Empress Dowager Ji." ”

Yan Chengjin snorted coldly: "This is even more suspicious, Empress Dowager Ji is the daughter of the local official of the Ji family, her status is noble, even she has no genealogy, where does the genealogy come from?" ”

At this point, he already understands very well.

Mu Bin was stunned, it turned out to be a fake, but how to make His Majesty believe it?

grinned: "Listening to the meaning of the virtuous nephew, it seems that there is a way to crack it, you might as well tell Uncle Shi, Uncle Shi will be grateful in the future." ”

Yan Chengjin said: "Lord Mu can first let the two identify each other, and tell each other their names and biographies, since they are relatives, they must be familiar with each other, if there is a ghost in their hearts, they will not dare to recognize each other." ”

"Then, secretly send someone to investigate his relatives, relatives and relatives may not be the same heart, seeing him benefit, there are many people with red eyes, it will definitely lead to falling into the well."

"Finally, you can check the genealogy, since it is recorded in the genealogy, then there must be someone, if you can't find a living person according to the genealogy, you can distinguish the true from the false."

Mu Bin's eyes were full of brilliance: "What the reader thinks about is really steady and thoughtful, and Uncle Shi will definitely thank the virtuous nephew after solving the case." ”

Mu Bin strode back to the Fusi Yamen in Beizhen.

At this time, there were only a few Jinyi guards on duty in Beizhen Fusi, and His Majesty did not have many Jinyi guards in order to reduce the cost, and some people were squatting in the Yan Mansion, and there were few people in the yamen.

Mu Bin instructed a few of his subordinates to call the person who claimed to be a relative of the Empress Dowager Ji and knelt down in the hall.

Mu Bin shouted: "Who are you, report your name." ”

"The villain is the Ji clan of Guangxi Xihe County, named Ji Qing, who came to recognize his relatives, why did the adults bring me to the Zhenfu Division?" The man named Ji Qing was a little nervous.

There was another Jinyi guard in the hall, named Ji Zhong, who claimed to be the clan of the Empress Dowager Ji, and it didn't take long for him to become a Jinyi guard.

Mu Bin asked: "Do you two know each other?" ”

"I know, he is my brother, named Ji Zhong."

"Yes, yes, my lord, he is my brother, his name is Ji Qing." The two hurriedly said.

Mu Bin said coldly: "This official has already sent someone to invite your relatives, this is the Beizhen Fusi, you know what the fate of the edict is, and submit the genealogy of the Ji clan." ”

Jin Yiwei presented an old family tree from Ji Qing's hand, and Mu Bin flipped through the family tree, but he didn't find Ji Zhong's name.

Mu Bin frowned: "Why is there no name for Ji Zhong?" ”

Ji Qing trembled: "The villain forgot to write it......"

Mu Bin picked up the shocking wood and slapped it suddenly: "On this genealogy, your brother's name is Ji Fang, his name is Ji Zhong, are you a fool to be an official, come here, drip punishment and serve!" ”

Ji Qing's face turned pale with fright: "My lord, spare my life... The villain's name is Li Qing, in the accent of the Guangxi Tu tribe, Ji and Li Nai are homophonic, I heard that the people of the same clan have been rewarded, and the villain came to try his luck......"

The brocade guard of Ji Zhong on the side was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground.
