Lin Haoran was indeed a little caught off guard, listening to the meaning of Yin Tai's words, it was obvious that he was about to resign and return to his hometown.

It's just that the situation on their side has improved, as long as the three of them can always be united, they can already compete with the Xu Party.

Lin Haoran quickly thought of Liu Ruyue's case, and immediately explained: "Teacher, the disciple has already made arrangements for Liu Ruyue's case. Liu Ruyue's death is false news, and we have already obtained her instigated testimony, as long as her injuries improve, we can hold a public trial in the Shuncheon Mansion Office. At that time, I will have the case published in the Suncheon Daily, and these rumors that are not favorable to you will be self-defeating. Teacher, you really don't need to worry about this case! ”

Although "open guns are easy to block, but hidden arrows are difficult to prevent", he was not completely unprepared, and he took precautions at that time. Although the sneak attack on the thieves was successful, Liu Ruyue did not die.

"You've already said that! For the teacher to know, it is also thanks to you to clear up this matter for the teacher, otherwise it is really indefensible! Yin Tai responded with a smile, and then explained: "When I was in charge of Nanjing, although I did something seriously, my temperament was also a little loose. Now there are as many as seven or eight impeachment notes against me, and if I am lazy in this position, I am afraid that there will be only a lot more, and I am afraid of a catastrophe! ”

He was not a powerful official, but after Liu Ruyue's case, he felt the sinister of the court. In the face of one impeachment after another, and knowing that the other party is endless, he also has the intention of retreating.

Wu Shan looked at Lin Haoran's surprised appearance, and also sighed secretly.

Today, I invited Yin Tai to my home as a guest, and I recalled with him what happened back then, precisely because Yin Tai resigned. In fact, at first, he was also surprised, but now he is relieved.

Yin Tai sighed softly, and explained: "I also wanted to stay to help the two of you, but you can also see that there is actually no place for me Yin Tai in this court. Why don't you leave happily because you're here? Has my reputation been preserved? It will not affect the two of you, and let the world better realize that the current court is not much different from the Yan Song period! ”

Why was he able to get to the top in the first place? Is it mainly Xu Jie's goal of obstructing Lin Haoran? Only then did he choose to give him the position of the Ministry of Rites. It's just that his ability to speak green words failed to win Jiajing's approval, and now it's difficult to even meet the emperor in person? So far, he has not been able to get the rank of the third division of the East Palace.

A Ministry of Rites book who is not favored by Jiajing, and a Ministry of Rites book who is regarded as a thorn in the side of the head of the dynasty? Is its future clouded? There is not even a possibility of entering the cabinet at all.

It is precisely because of this that although he is in the important position of the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, he can be described as a rare "shabby" secretary of the Ministry of Rites in 20 years.

Ay......

Lin Haoran also sighed secretly in his heart, knowing that Yin Tai was under a lot of pressure these days.

Yang Bo favored Jiajing with his military ability? Even if you have excellent financial skills? And Yin Tai is not in Jiajing's eyes. It was not a thing in other dynasties, but it was difficult for the Jiajing dynasty to survive.

As Xu Jie moved to get rid of Yin Tai, Gao Gong and Yang Bo were also restless. Because once the Ministry of Rites is vacant, Gao Gong, the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites, has more qualifications and strength than Gao Yi, the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites, and it must be Gao Gong who is more likely to take over the position of the Secretary of the Ministry of Rites.

Exactly? Recently, officials in the northern department have also worked hard to "reverse Yin", fighting for the position of the secretary of the Ministry of Rites for Gao Gong.

Just understanding to understanding? Lin Haoran still asked with the last glimmer of hope: "Teacher, can you think about it carefully?" Students have the confidence to help you deal with things that don't exist! ”

"I have made up my mind, and I officially handed in my resignation today! Shouldn't you be a court? I didn't accept Yan Song's good intentions back then? is unwilling to touch the filth of this court. Decided to leave today? I feel relieved, and I can't wait to get out of this place. Yin Tai took a sip of wine and responded gently.

In fact, he has seen the situation clearly, even if he wants to stay, the two forces must be in the dark. It would be good if he could win the emperor's favor, but if the real saint was afraid that he would already look at him unpleasantly, his already crumbling throne of the Ministry of Rites would fall sooner or later.

Lin Haoran saw that Yin Tai had made up his mind, and he was reluctant to persuade him again, but he said with concern: "Since the teacher has made up his mind, then the student wishes you a smooth journey!" I wonder what the teacher's plans are next? ”

"I plan to go back to my hometown to live for a while, and I will probably go to Leizhou Mansion again in the spring of next year! The year before last, I took leave and returned to my hometown, and the people at home said how Leizhou was, and it was an honor to be a teacher! Yin Tai put down the wine glass and said gently.

Lin Haoran nodded lightly: "Very good, the disciple has some friends in Leizhou, and I will arrange it for you then!" ”

"Don't be so troublesome, I just want to take a walk and take a good look at the Leizhou you ruled back then!" Yin Tai shook his head and refused, and said with a smile to Wu Shan next to him: "Over the years, I have often thought of the previous years. Today's chest mentions the Drunkard Pavilion, I already have a new poem in my heart, would you like to hear it? ”

"Huh...... If you're gone, leave this ink treasure behind!! Wu Shan didn't say anything to listen to, and responded with a bit of cunning.

After dinner, the three of them moved to the study.

Yin Tai is a more authentic literati, holding a wolf pen and writing on rice paper: "The predecessors are high in the wind and the universe hangs, and the mountains and rivers in the past are in reverie. The string songs have been dispersed, and the literature is empty. The white-haired Wu was pitiful a few times, and Canglin Weng was drunk and remembered that time. Xin meets the old Qing couple, and the incense mash is injected into the jade. ”

Following the first song of the drunken Weng Pavilion, the spirit of the prime is different, this song is already more of a sense of vicissitudes, "the white hair I have been declining a few times, and Canglin Weng is drunk and reminiscent of that time" can be described as the finishing touch.

Because the weather is not good tonight, there is no starlight in the entire night sky, and Yin Tai also chose to leave.

Before Yin Tai left the study, he turned to Lin Haoran and said solemnly: "Before leaving, I want to say a word to you!" ”

"The students are listening!" Lin Haoran said respectfully.

Yin Tai looked at Lin Haoran's eyes, and said seriously: "If you are foolish, you have a brilliant career, and it will not take a few years to enter the cabinet to worship the prime minister, which is far beyond being a teacher." What I want to say today is: Although fame and fortune are good, don't forget your original intention! Insist that the green mountains are not relaxed, and the roots are in the broken rocks. Thousands of blows are still strong, let the east, west, north and south winds, your original intention should be to establish a heart for heaven and earth, establish a life for the people, continue to learn for the saints, and open peace for all generations. As a teacher, I hope that you will always reflect on yourself in the future, never forget the original intention of our generation of scholars to join the office, and do not lose yourself for the sake of power! ”

"Disciple remember!" Lin Haoran knew that this impromptu gift was very valuable, and he also gave it seriously.

Yin Tai turned around to say goodbye to Wu Shan, who insisted on sending Yin Tai to the front yard and watched Yin Tai leave in a sedan chair.

Wu Shan retracted his gaze, but looked at Lin Haoran and suddenly asked, "Did you visit Hu Zongxian in the prison of the Criminal Department today?" ”

"Yes, Hu Zongxian should not be beheaded on the charge of being a collaborator!" Lin Haoran nodded in response.

Wu Shan sighed lightly, turned around and walked back: "You shouldn't actually go!" ”

"Why?" Lin Haoran followed in confusion.

Wu Shan has been in the officialdom for so many years, and he has seen things quite thoroughly, and he hit the core and said: "Xu Jie is afraid that Hu Zongxian will not be able to tolerate it!" ”

Lin Haoran understood what Wu Shan meant: The reason why Hu Zongxian was escorted to the capital for trial was mainly because of the strict party brand on his body. It's just that Hu Zongxian was a great hero of the anti-Japanese war after all, maybe Jiajing and Xu Jienian will be lenient in these matters, and the trial of these three legal divisions should also be dealt with lightly.

Now that he is involved, in order to avoid an alliance with Hu Zongxian on their side, Xu Jie naturally wants to get rid of Hu Zongxian more toughly.

But I have to say that this politics is really not a power game that ordinary people can play.

"Father-in-law, I know this! It's just that I don't think Xu Jie will let Hu Zongxian go, that "Argument and Accusation" was deliberately distorted by him in front of the emperor, that is, to put Hu Zongxian to death! I didn't mean to take the opportunity to win over Hu Zongxian this time, but I just didn't want to see this anti-Japanese hero succumb to death! Lin Haoran followed two steps and explained seriously.

He knew better than anyone else that even if he didn't get involved, Xu Jie would not spare Hu Zongxian. In order to wait for Xu Jie's mercy, it is better to lend a helping hand to Hu Zongxian.

If Xu Jie still dealt with Hu Zongxian like he dealt with Yan Shifan, he would definitely face the saint, and he might be able to take this opportunity to bring down Xu Jie.

Wu Shan glanced at Lin Haoran, but sighed secretly, knowing that because of Hu Zongxian's case, it would be another bloody storm.

Bang......

A long flash of lightning flashed across the night sky, instantly illuminating half of the city, and a thunderstorm seemed to be about to strike at any moment.
