At the beginning of April, the willow that spits out new shoots has become green silk in the blink of an eye, the originally bare trunk has become a green pretty woman, and the jasper-like willow branches are waving in the summer breeze.

A rather powerful young man was sitting in the lake pavilion with a cup of tea, his lazy gaze admiring the scenery.

Although this back garden is small, it strictly follows the layout of this era, presenting a rare natural scenery, especially the flowers in the flower garden are blooming brightly, and the lotus flowers in the lake are different red.

At the same time, after Wang Honghai completed the appointment documents in the Ministry of Officials, he came to the Lin Mansion to pay a visit.

If the ordinary local magistrate will naturally not be able to step into the door of the household book, but Wang Honghai still has the name of Jiajing's forty-one years of Tanhualang on his head, and he is Lin Haoran's proud protégé.

Wang Honghai followed the housekeeper Lin Jinyuan to the pavilion, and respectfully bowed to Lin Haoran: "The student has come to bid farewell to the teacher!" ”

"Shao Chuan, sit down!" Lin Haoran sighed secretly in his heart, knowing that this day would come after all, he raised his hand and pointed to the stone bench opposite and said lightly.

Wang Honghai thanked him again, and then sat down in a proper manner, his eyes always maintaining respect.

Although the two are of the same age, Lin Haoran has been in a high position for many years, and Wang Honghai adheres to the tradition of "mother is here, no beard", so that there is a complete difference in the image of the two.

Lin Jinyuan took the tea cup from the maid's hand and personally presented it to Wang Honghai, who humbly nodded to Lin Jinyuan to express his gratitude.

Lin Haoran, who looked more mature, took a sip of fragrant tea, and asked straight to the point: "Shao Chuan, do you regret helping Hai Rui this time?" ”

"The students went to the prison to bring food to Hai Rui, and my colleagues persuaded me many times, pointing out the pros and cons! It's just that the student doesn't regret it, but not only because he is my fellow villager in Qiongzhou, nor because he trusts his family to me to take care of him, but because I respect what Haigong does! Wang Honghai's eyes were blazing, and he looked at Lin Haoran and responded honestly.

There was a hint of bitterness on the corner of Lin Haoran's mouth, and he said with the teacher's shelf: "Shao Chuan, since you have entered the officialdom, then there are some words that you can only hold in your stomach!" Once you say this now, you will definitely cause trouble again, but it won't just be a matter of release! ”

Xu Jie's move is not a move to sprinkle his anger on juniors? In fact, there is a big killer move hidden.

Wang Honghai delivers food to Hai Rui? This matter is actually not a big deal, and it doesn't have much to do with "misconduct"? According to common sense, a Hanlin editor should not be so hastily sent out to serve as the county of Qipinzhi.

But the magic lies in the "misconduct". And if he's making a fuss here? Naturally, it is necessary to insist that Wang Honghai has not misbehaved, but in fact, Hai Rui's "insulting the monarch's father" has been recognized as wrong.

Once Lin Haoran rescues Wang Honghai? Xu Jie's side will definitely take advantage of the topic, not only will the tacit understanding formed by Hai Rui's case be broken? And Lin Haoran is likely to be dragged into the water.

Engaged in politics in Daming? Especially a political master like Xu Jie, who is kind and ruthless, has no shortage of mind and means.

Wang Honghai has already been used by Xu Jie, if Wang Honghai's sentence "I respect Hai Rui's person" spreads, he will definitely go to the prison of the Criminal Department to "respect Hai Rui".

"Disciples, respect the teachings of the teacher! But in front of the teacher? The disciple is still willing to say everything from the bottom of his heart! "Wang Honghai respectfully gave a salute? But he said it very sincerely.

In this day and age, teachers are like fathers.

The reason why Xu Jie was able to bring down Yan Song back then was because there were many protégés who were willing to stand up for Xu Jie. In the rounds of impeachment of recklessness and successive servants, Yan Song was finally overthrown, and Xu Jie took Yan Song's place as a matter of course.

Wang Honghai was named Xie Yuan by Lin Haoran in the Guangdong Township Examination in the past? From that day on, he already regarded Lin Haoran as a mentor in his heart? It is also regarded as a father-like existence.

Lin Haoran looked at Wang Honghai's sincere gaze, but secretly sighed in his heart. He knows well the respect and filial piety that scholars have for teachers in this era? Perhaps it is for this reason that he feels that he has a heavy responsibility.

The April sun is extraordinarily bright? Shine in the quiet lake pavilion? How many butterflies dance in a flower garden in the distance? Collecting nectar from a flower that flew out of nowhere.

Lin Haoran took a sip of tea slowly, raised his head to look at Wang Honghai and asked seriously: "You were actually exiled as a teacher, and you are like an outsider from beginning to end, can you resent being a teacher in your heart?" ”

Among Lin Haoran's many protégés, Wang Honghai is not the one with the highest official rank, but he has been a Hanlin editor with more than three years of qualifications, and he has the advantage of age, so he is regarded by many people as Lin Haoran's successor.

If Xu Dang can dispose of Wang Honghai, it will undoubtedly achieve the effect of knocking the mountain and shaking the tiger, so as to warn those officials who are trying to get closer to Lin Haoran.

This kind of blow to the "heir to the mantle" is actually not the first of Xu Jie's creation, Yan Song has also used this trick, and even this trick can be traced back to a further period.

Xu Jie's original protégé was Chen Jin, the champion of Jiajing's thirty-second year, who not only respected his teacher, but also had the advantage of age.

Two years later, when the feudal government was canonized, it was overdue due to illness, so Wu Peng, who was the secretary of the ministry at the time, took this opportunity to be demoted to Guangdong to serve as the governor of Huizhou Prefecture.

Xu Jie's intention was to cultivate Chen Jin, only in the second year, Xu Jie's Chen Jin, who had served as a Huizhou magistrate for less than half a year, gave the title of "Outstanding Achievements in Local Governance", and was directly promoted to Nanjing Taifu Temple, and later promoted to Nanjing Guozijian Division.

When Yan Song fell, Xu Jie's promotion of Chen Jin to return to the capital to serve as the Zhongyun of Youchunfang, returning to the sequence of ministers, and he will definitely be able to enter the cabinet in the future.

It's just that people are not as good as heaven, when Xu Jie still wanted to continue to promote this protégé, Chen Jin's father suddenly died of illness last year, and Chen Jin wanted to return to Fujian to keep filial piety for three years according to the system.

At the beginning of this year, due to the rebellion of Fuzhou Sanwei, they directly asked the eunuchs and wealthy families in the city for arrears, which caused trouble to Chen Jin's family. Chen Jin's family members fought with the soldiers, but unfortunately they were injured by chaos and died of illness for more than a month.

Xu Jie, perhaps experiencing the "pain of losing a disciple", has already found this reason, and also found Lin Haoran unhappy, pointing the finger at Wang Honghai.

Wang Honghai was demoted from the capital because he went to visit Hai Rui in the prison of the Criminal Department every day, but the real reason was the fight between Wu Lindang and Xu Jie, because Wang Honghai was Lin Haoran's most proud protégé.
