The Ming Dynasty started with caution

"Your Highness, when you talk to other people later, you must make it clear that there cannot be any words related to students or my father in it." Yan Chengjin secretly cursed this bastard, why did he come to my house after intercepting the military report!

Zhu Houzhao waved his hand: "I intercepted the military report alone, and naturally I will not implicate you."

Emperor Hongzhi always felt strange that Zhu Houzhao only had one place to sneak out of the palace, Yan Mansion.

Before, when Yan Kesong was lecturing in the East Palace, he didn't think there was anything wrong.

Now that Yan Kesong has gone to the border of Ningxa, the prince still runs to Yan Mansion, and things are strange.

After asking Mou Bin, he found out that the prince had been writing books under the name of Zhao Houzhu, and he was cursing!

"Asshole! How can this be! If you know why don't you report it to me!" Emperor Hongzhi picked up the inkstone to hit someone. He could hit his own son, but it was a bit difficult to hit others.

Finally, he put the inkstone down.

Previously, Emperor Hongzhi thought that the prince would not ask for Yan Kesong's going to the border without reason. It turned out that the book was written by the prince. If you think about it this way, everything will be clear.

Xiao Jing presented the urgent report that had just been sent to the Imperial Household Department.

Emperor Hongzhi slowly opened it, and the dark clouds on his face disappeared in an instant, turning into ecstasy: "Lord Yan is indeed a talented general! Great victory! Great victory!"

Hearing that it was a battle report, Li Dongyang and others also asked anxiously: "Your Majesty, did General Wang win the battle?"

"This matter is hard to describe, you can read it for yourselves!" Emperor Hongzhi asked Xiao Jing to present the report to Liu Jian.

Li Dongyang, Ma Wensheng and others hurried over and saw the word "great victory". The Ming army found most of the Tatars in the Helan Mountains and marched straight in, killing the enemy and causing them to flee everywhere. The little prince took advantage of the chaos to escape and intercepted a large amount of livestock and food?

Looking at the people who were awarded merits, Yan Kesong was awarded the first merit and killed 37 enemies?

Li Dongyang and Ma Wensheng knelt down and said, "Your Majesty is wise. If this happens, the captives will not dare to go south for a long time."

Emperor Hongzhi nodded and said, "The Hetao region has always been a concern of mine. Although Wang Yue is brave, he is an old general after all. How many times can he fight? It would be a great blessing if Yan Aiqing could protect the Hetao region for me!"

What made Emperor Hongzhi most happy was that the Tatar general who was defeated this time was the Khan on the grassland who was comparable to ghosts and gods, the little prince Batu Mengke!

Wang Yue mentioned in the battle report that thanks to Yan Kesong's advice to attack Helan Mountain directly, the little prince's conspiracy was broken, and the preemptive strike was achieved!

Yan Kesong has both literary talent and military strategy, and he is still in his prime.

With this general, the border can be settled!

Li Dongyang read the urgent report and found that Wang Yue rarely mentioned him, but he was very detailed about Yan Kesong's achievements.

What he didn't know was that Wang Yue was actually very thoughtful.

Wang Yue knew that people like him who committed heinous crimes in the previous dynasty would never be valued by Emperor Hongzhi.

Now he is just valuable, just like Liu Mianhua, the cabinet minister of the previous dynasty. Emperor Hongzhi also knew that he was a dirty man. After making full use of his talents, didn't he let him retire and return home?

Even if his merits were not written in the war report, Emperor Hongzhi knew it.

If it was written in the war report, he would be known as a vain person, which would not please Emperor Hongzhi.

Yan Kesong was sent by Emperor Hongzhi. Recording his merits was equivalent to attributing all the merits to Emperor Hongzhi, and it would also bring him closer to Yan Kesong. Why not?

Wang Yue had been in the officialdom for many years and knew that he could not be given any more titles. As long as he was not kicked out like Liu Ji, it would be a great favor.

Liu Ji was a high-ranking and powerful minister in the previous cabinet. He and Wan'an and others had a very fierce nickname, the three cabinet elders who were made of paper. They were very talented when they were in office, but they were all used to manage relationships and did not do their work, so they got this nickname.

After Emperor Hongzhi ascended the throne, he dismissed many officials including Wan'an, leaving only Liu Ji.

Because Liu Ji was not only good at flattery, but also a talented person. When Liu Jian and others could carry the banner of the cabinet, Emperor Hongzhi let him retire.

Li Dongyang said: "The great victory in Helan Mountain is really gratifying! The Tatars have always bullied our Ming Dynasty for having no generals and have been eyeing us covetously in the north. Now this battle is a sign of the well-being of our Ming Dynasty."

Emperor Hongzhi said: "Yan Aiqing's achievements are enough to be worshipped as dukes and marquises. When Yan Aiqing returns to the court, I will hold a banquet to confer him the title!"

Li Dongyang and others had no objection.

The little prince was like a thorn in their hearts. Now that Yan Kesong beat the little prince to flee, it was like seeing hope.

Mou Bin walked in cautiously and reported: "Your Majesty, I received a report that the captain who just rushed back from the border of Ningxia was knocked off his horse at the Meridian Gate."

Now that the Ningxia soldiers have won the battle, they are the heroes of the Ming Dynasty.

Who is so bold that he dares to do such a murder to the heroes of the Ming Dynasty!

Emperor Hongzhi said: "The soldiers rushed thousands of miles, who is so bold, and we will investigate it strictly!"

"Listening to the description of the captain, it seems...it seems to be His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Xiao Jing reminded in a low voice.

The atmosphere in the warm room became subtle, and Li Dongyang and others were at a loss. It seemed a bit abrupt to flatter at this time?

…………

Raising troops to repel the enemy and inspire people.

The court announced the battle report to the world, and there was a jubilant voice in the capital. It was found that this was very similar to the secret attack on Chencang by Zhuge Liang written by Zhao Houzhu in "The Three Kingdoms Heroes Contending for Hegemony". Suddenly, Zhao Houzhu's book became a best-seller again.

On the day Yan Kesong returned to Beijing, the capital was extremely lively.

The streets of the capital were lined with people, and the new scholars were very excited.

Yan Mansion,

He Neng ran back with a look of ecstasy: "Master! The master has returned to Beijing, and the motorcade is on the way to the palace!"

Yan Chengjin happily dropped the melon, put on his big banner and went out.

At this time, the Xuanwumen Street in the capital was full of people, and Yan Chengjin was squeezed to death. A carriage full of murderous aura came from a distance.

Yan Kesong, walking in the front of the carriage, was very majestic!

Yan Kesong watched the crowd closely and looked around. As expected, he found Yan Chengjin hiding in the crowd.

Yan Kesong got off his horse and came to Yan Chengjin and said, "Chengjin, your letter to Dad is really useful! The bandits are gathering in Helan Mountain. I will tell you in detail when I go to the palace to submit my order!"

"Dad is confused! The ruler should not like powerful ministers, and the ministers should be careful not to have delusions. Dad is so arrogant and domineering for the first time. His Majesty will definitely wonder how he can be of great use in the future..." Yan Chengjin whispered in his ear.

Yan Kesong was at a loss.

Yan Kesong only knew how to read and write books, so he didn't have these calculations.

"I think the two generals behind Dad should have high ranks in the army. Dad can keep pace with them and share the limelight with them. In this way, he will have the reputation of being respectful to the wise and humble, and will not be greedy for merit and arrogant." Yan Chengjin said.
