Yan Chengjin followed the eunuch into the palace, usually, he must be hiding in the house and not going out, seeing the heavy snow sealing the city, he couldn't help humming all the way.

The birds in the city are flying away, and there are few voices on the road,

The bag is deep in the snow, and he knows that he is a traveler.

Come to the Warm Court.

Emperor Hongzhi was dressed in a gorgeous dragon gon costume and a black shackle, sitting at the head of the desk, with a radiant and mighty look.

On the side, there are a few people wearing Tongtian crown clothes, and the complement is either a crane or a golden chicken, Yan Chengjin guessed that it should be the third elder of the cabinet and Jiuqing.

Of course, Zhu Houzhao is also there.

This is the second time I have seen Emperor Hongzhi, it may be that the environment is different, and there is a completely different feeling, just like the old turtle has become a shining local tyrant.

When Emperor Hongzhi saw Yan Chengjin, he first showed a smile, and then made a straight face, which was unpredictable.

Yan Chengjin knelt on the ground and saluted: "Yan Chengjin, the grass people, has seen His Majesty the Emperor!" ”

"Your father made military merits and was awarded a knighthood on the border, you could have been favored by him, but you were ordered by me to pass on your grandchildren but not your sons, do you resent?" Emperor Hongzhi said.

It's no wonder if you don't complain!

Yan Chengjin said loudly: "The grass people don't complain! ”

Emperor Hongzhi Gujing said without waves: "I heard that the prince has repeatedly left the palace, all of them are going to Yan Mansion, I am very curious, what did he go to Yan Mansion to plot with you?" ”

Plot?

Yan Chengjin sweated in seconds, and quickly clarified: "Since the last time the prince went to the mansion to investigate the matter of Zhu Ye, the prince has frequently come to Yan's mansion, and the grass people have raised the wall twice, but they still can't stop the prince. ”

Anyway, Mu Bin is convinced of this.

The prince was not afraid of the earth that day, what else can't he do?

It's going to force people to move!

Zhu Houzhao was angry, and the palace said that the wall was getting more and more difficult to overturn, and it turned out that Lao Gao's dog thing had secretly increased its height twice!

Emperor Hongzhi's old face finally couldn't hold it anymore, coughed dryly, and said: "The New Year is approaching, and your father's border is not easy to come by, so I will allow him to come back from the New Year Pass and reunite your father and son." ”

Yan Chengjin was a little confused.

Is this a gag reward?

Yan Chengjin knew very well that the damage caused by the Xiaoice River period to the Ming Dynasty was not only a reduction in grain production, but also frequent diseases, so it should be where something happened again.

Emperor Hongzhi let Yan Chengjin enter the palace this time, in fact, it was to make a method of making a human cage, "You did it?" ”

Yan Chengjin thought for a while, "Back to Your Majesty, to be exact, it was made by the maid in the house." ”

"How about I ask you how to make it?"

Of course, Yan Chengjin was obliged to say the production method of the human cage mouth, and did not forget to remind: "The human cage mouth is extremely difficult to store, and it will not be used for a long time, please let Your Majesty know." ”

The scribe on the side wrote down the method Yan Chengjin said.

Emperor Hongzhi nodded: "If you want any reward, I will allow you at your discretion." ”

Everyone present thought that Yan Chengjin would ask for gold and silver treasures, or an official and a half-knight.

Unexpectedly, when they heard what Yan Chengjin asked, the people present were stunned as if they had been struck by lightning.

"His Majesty the Emperor, can you give the grass people a gold medal for avoiding death?" Yan Chengjin had a straight face.

Emperor Hongzhi was also stunned: "??? ”

Zhu Houzhao's eyes lit up, no one had ever begged his father to save him from dying for a gold medal, Lao Gao was really a person with ideas.

After the Battle of Jingjing, Ming Chengzu Zhu Di once gave his generals a gold medal for avoiding death, and when he arrived at the emperor of the Later Dynasty, he gradually mentioned it less.

Of course, Yan Chengjin wants to be a big official, but Emperor Hongzhi will not set up a preacher official, so he retreats to the second best place to avoid dying for a gold medal!

Emperor Hongzhi snorted coldly: "In your heart, I am a tyrant who kills excessively? If you don't commit a heinous crime, how can I kill you, this thing is going to go, I'm afraid you won't be able to use it for the rest of your life, it's better to exchange it for some gold and silver rewards, can you think clearly? ”

If I don't need it, I'll have to carry it first.

"The grass people have figured it out." Yan Chengjin Road.

Jun Wu joked, Emperor Hongzhi ordered Xiao Jing to take the gold medal for avoiding death, asking for official land, Liu Jian and others would dissuade him and ask for a gold medal for avoiding death, Liu Jian and others were very happy, and everyone was happy.

Half an hour later, Yan Chengjin left the palace with a gold medal for avoiding death, and the father-in-law who took it was sorry for him: "Your Majesty is on the rise, such an opportunity is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, but you just asked for a brand, alas." ”

Yan Chengjin said with a smile: "There is Gonggong Lao." ”

There is also good news about entering the palace this time, Zhu Houzhao was grounded by Emperor Hongzhi, and Jin Wuwei personally guarded it, and Zhu Houzhao was not allowed to leave the East Palace for half a step.

At Yan Chengjin's suggestion, Emperor Hongzhi also raised the walls of the East Palace, sealed all the dog holes, and guarded them day and night.

Back at the house, Yan Chengjin took out a small wooden box from the secret compartment of the wardrobe, poured out the title deeds at the bottom of the box, and put the death-free gold medal in the most important position at the bottom of the box.

He Neng came in in in a panic and reported: "Young Master, Lord Li, a senior official of the imperial court, is here!" ”

Since my father went to the border, he has rarely visited him in the same year.

Yan Chengjin was surprised: "Which Master Li?" ”

That person's official position seemed to scare He Neng a lot, and he pulled Yan Chengjin and walked out: "It's Lord Li Dongyang, the minister of the cabinet!" ”

Yan Chengjin came to the main hall, Li Dongyang was standing in front of a wall, looking thoughtfully at the family rules and poems he wrote, and only turned around when he heard a voice behind him.

Li Dongyang has an extraordinary appearance, a beautiful beard is black and shiny, and his body is tall and tall, he saw it in the warm pavilion just now, which impressed Yan Chengjin, but he didn't know that he was Li Dongyang.

I saw that he was still wearing regular clothes, presumably out of the palace, and went straight to Yan's mansion.

What did Li Dongyang come to him for?

Yan Chengjin bowed and bowed: "I saw Master Li in my late life, but my subordinates haven't served tea yet, it's really rude." He Neng on the side was clever, and hurriedly ran to the kitchen.

Li Dongyang nodded and smiled: "There is no need for so much red tape, this official is actually asking for something this time." ”

Yan Chengjin was a little confused, what Li Dongyang couldn't do must be very difficult to do, should you refuse?

Li Dongyang said: "The four palanquin men in the official mansion are all infected with cold, the weather is cold, the wind cold is raging, the official is worried about the little girl in the family, although His Majesty ordered the Jiangnan Weaving Bureau to build a cage mouth, I am afraid that it will take some time, the official heard that His Royal Highness said that you have here, and I want to be cheeky and ask for some." ”

Li Dongyang loves his daughter very much, otherwise he would not have the cheekiness to come to the door to ask for a late birth.

Chunxiao and daughters weave day and night, and now there are many in the house.

Yan Chengjin ordered people to bring two hundred.

Seeing that he was so generous, Li Dongyang was overjoyed, took out his money bag, counted it, and said a little jerkyly: "How much silver, the silver that the official brought out is a little less, and the steward will send it in a while." ”

Yan Chengjin said: "These are all gifts to Master Li, and no money will be accepted." ”

"That's not possible, your father has some disputes with me in the literary world, you and I are enemies, one thing is the same, the official who should fight still has to fight, and you must accept the silver!" Li Dongyang said.

Yan Chengjin: ".................." completely cut off any possibility of being prostituted for nothing.

Li Dongyang's money bag is more than fifty taels, Yan Chengjin said: "This person is made with a cage mouth, but it is only a few pennies, and it is enough for Master Li to give me one or two silver." ”

Li Dongyang looked very shocked, squinted his eyes and said seriously: "You said that it only costs a few pennies?!" ”

"How dare you deceive!" Yan Chengjin Road.

Li Dongyang took the case: "How dare he, Li Guang, ask for 100,000 taels of silver!" ”

Yan Chengjin was also a little surprised, Li Guang? Gonggong Li, you are really greedy, 100,000 taels of silver, which is a year's salary for an army of 10,000 people.

Although he had never met, Yan Chengjin also knew who Li Guang was in Li Dongyang's mouth.

In the middle and late stages of the Hongzhi Dynasty, Xiao Jing gradually lost power, and Emperor Hongzhi trusted Li Guang very much, and let Li Guang supervise whatever was set up in the palace.

This time the stakes are very high, and Li Guang knew that Emperor Hongzhi loved the people very much, so how could he miss this opportunity.
