Chapter 50
Chenghua 23 years, the sixth day of the first month.In the north of the capital city, Andingmen.

There are nine gates in the capital of the Ming Dynasty, and the entry and exit are extremely particular.

Prison carts are used at Xuanwu Gate in the south of the city; dragon carts are used at Zhengyang Gate; wine carts are used at Chongwen Gate.

In the east of the city, brick, tile and timber carts are used at Dongxuanmen, and grain carts are used at Chaoyangmen.

Fuchengmen in the west of the city is driven by coal trucks; Xizhimen is driven by water trucks.

In the north of the city are Deshengmen and Andingmen.Send troops to Desheng Gate, return troops to Anding Gate.

Two tall horses came to Andingmen.A dog trots along.

The knights on the two horses were Chang Feng and Fatty Xu.Jinyiwei belongs to the category of "soldiers".In order to win the prize of returning to Beijing, they made a special detour and entered the city from the Anding Gate in the north of the city.

Hundreds of gatekeepers yelled at Chang Feng: "Who is it?"

Chang Feng replied proudly: "Jin Yiwei tried Chang Feng from hundreds of households, and was ordered by the crown prince to return to Beijing to serve as the Great Han General of the Eastern Palace!"

The gatekeeper Qianhu didn't dare to neglect, and quickly ordered the sergeant to let him go.

Chang Feng rode on the horse and entered the capital with his head held high.Quite a bit of the meaning of "spring breeze is proud of horseshoe disease".

Concubine Wan Gui is dead, and the crown prince's position is stable.As a hero who protects the reserve, he has a bright future.

Two hours later, the Crown Prince's bedroom in the East Palace.

Chang Feng knelt down in front of Crown Prince Zhu Youtang.

The prince Zhu Youtang was sitting in front of the desk, looking at the memorials handed over by the provinces. After two moments of effort, he raised his head and asked, "Are you Chang Feng recommended by Huai En?"

Chang Feng said: "Chen Jinyiwei tried Chang Feng from hundreds of households, and I was ordered to serve His Highness."

Zhu Youtang said: "Raise your head."

Chang Feng took the lead and raised his head.

This is the first time Chang Feng saw the real face of the prince.In his eyes, the prince is so young and so handsome.

What he didn't know was that under Zhu Youtang's handsome appearance, there was a young and mature heart.

So many years of open and dark arrows in the palace, Zhu Youtang has cultivated a meticulous mind.

Zhu Youtang opened his mouth and asked Chang Feng two questions: "Did you subcontract the letter from Cai Zhong's mansion? Did you fabricate the strange disaster on Mount Tai?"

These two questions are Zhu Youtang's test to see if Chang Feng is usable.

If you change the idiot bag of Daxigong, you will definitely answer: "Yes, yes, yes! I did it all!"

Then Zhu Youtang will definitely abandon him.

Chang Feng replied without hesitation: "Your Highness, there is only one box for the letters from the Cai Mansion from the beginning to the end. I don't know what the meaning of 'transfer package' is."

"Unusual disasters cannot be done by manpower. The earthquake of Mount Tai was a warning from the heavens to protect His Highness. His Highness is blessed by God, and will surely benefit the people and prosper the Ming Dynasty."

Chang Feng is very smart: anyway, Wynn must have told the prince what happened.The prince is very clear about my contribution.

The idiot just exposed these two things in front of the prince, thank you for your credit!

Zhu Youtang was very satisfied with Chang Feng's answer, he didn't answer, but lowered his head again, looking at the memorial: "From tomorrow on, you will be around alone."

"You are tired from the long journey, go down and rest first."

Chang Feng got up, half bowed his waist, and slowly walked back to the bedroom with small steps.

Liu Jin was already waiting for Chang Feng outside the East Palace.

Liu Jin smiled and said, "Chang Baihu, I haven't seen you for more than two months, so you're fine. Congratulations, Gao Sheng."

Chang Feng cupped his hands: "Eunuch Liu, we are all happy together."

Liu Jin said again: "Eunuch Huai'en wrote a letter from Nanjing to explain it specifically. After you return to Beijing, you will still live in his outer house."

"His outer house is guarded by regimental soldiers, which is as solid as gold. It also saves someone in Beijing from holding back and harming you."

The two left the palace and first went to Wynn's house to settle down.

In the early morning of the next day, Chang Feng entered the palace and waited early in front of the East Palace bedroom, preparing to accompany the prince to attend the imperial gate hearing.

Concubine Wan Gui is seriously ill now, and Emperor Chenghua has been away from court for many days.The imperial gate was handed over to the prince to preside over the administration.

Not long after, Zhu Youtang came out with a tidy crown and belt.Chang Feng immediately followed five paces behind him.

At daybreak, the prince came to Fengtianmen.

Civil and military officials have gathered.

Xiao Jing, the steward of the Eastern Palace, shouted loudly: "Yi!"

Li Min, the new Minister of the Household Department, said: "His Royal Highness. Last summer, the flood in western Zhejiang destroyed countless dams and flooded Jiande and other three counties."

"My minister believes that the dam should be rebuilt in time to prevent floods this summer."

Li Min was similar to Wang Shu in that he was also a civil servant who had served in the army.He once served as governor of Datong.In the past two years, he has been serving as the governor of water transportation.

In the past, the Minister of the Ministry of Households was concurrently served by the elder Liu Jue who could only spit out stars.

After a disaster occurred in Mount Tai and the crown prince's position was stabilized, Liu Jue entered the East Palace late at night, expressing his intention to seek refuge, and even brought out the matter of subcontracting letters to claim credit.

On the surface, Zhu Youtang readily accepted: You can take refuge in me.

But, I think Mr. Liu Ge has to manage the affairs of the cabinet and the household department.Really hard.

Why don't you take the initiative to hand over the household department and write to the emperor to recommend Li Min as the minister.

This is Zhu Youtang's vote for Liu Suina.

So the capable minister Li Min was able to take charge of the household department.

Zhu Youtang said: "What advice does the chief assistant have for the flood in western Zhejiang? You can tell Li Butang."

The King of Fishing, Chief Assistant Wan An cleared his throat and started the performance of himself and Mui.

Wan An turned his head to look at Li Min, and began to talk nonsense in a straight voice: "Are we talking about your matter, ah, it's not that we won't do it."

"Well, but, we didn't say anything, we didn't say anything! It must be something."

"You can't say no. It's up to us to talk about things. We can find a way. In this way, when you go to court, we will be there when the time comes, right?"

"Let's, right. You should think about this matter again, right. I'll take care of this matter when it's over."

The dignified Chief Assistant, in order not to take responsibility, even talked a lot of nonsense when Yumen was listening to the government.Ordinary people usually describe this kind of nonsense as "horoscope fart".

Chang Feng, as the general of the Han Dynasty, stood behind the prince holding a golden melon.Hearing Wan An's nonsense, he cursed secretly: Is this the chief minister of the Ming Dynasty's cabinet?

WTF? !
Zhu Youtang felt the same as Chang Feng in his heart: How can he manage Daming well when he is with such insects?

Zhu Youtang waved his hand impatiently: "Enough!"

Wan An's big butt pouted, and he kowtowed to the ground smoothly: "His Royal Highness is a thousand years old!"

Since Zhu Youtang began to preside over the imperial gate hearing, Wan An has changed from "Long Live Pavilion Elder" to "Thousand Years Pavilion Elder".

Zhu Youtang said: "I heard that Bai Ang, a doctor of the Ministry of Industry, is good at water control. He appointed Bai Ang as an imperial envoy, and immediately went to the west of Zhejiang to preside over the reconstruction of dams."

"Fifty percent of the required silver taels will be paid by the Ministry of Households, and fifty percent will be paid by the Zhejiang Fan Treasury."

It is one of Zhu Youtang's strengths to know people well.

After Yumen finished listening to the government, Chang Feng followed Zhu Youtang back to the East Palace.

Zhu Youtang ordered Chang Feng: "Take five big Han generals, put on casual clothes, and go to the southern suburbs with you alone."

Chang Feng didn't dare to be negligent, and immediately picked out five big Han generals and changed into casual clothes.Went out of the palace with the prince, and rode a horse to protect him to the southern suburbs.

Chang Feng didn't know what the prince was doing in the southern suburbs.I didn't dare to ask too much.

While riding the horse, Zhu Youtang asked Chang Feng a question: "It's the first time you participated in the Yumen hearing with Gu, what do you think of the chief assistant Wan'an?"

According to the rules, how can a mere Han general comment casually on the chief assistant of the dynasty?
But at this time, Chang Feng did not hide his point of view.He said two words from the bottom of his heart: "Insects!"

These two words can be regarded as speaking of Zhu Youtang's heart!
Zhu Youtang turned his head and glanced at Chang Feng.Although he didn't speak, there was an expression of approval and appreciation on his face.

Zhu Youtang came to the southern suburbs in micro-clothes to see someone off.
