Lin Haoran is not only the left waiter of the Ministry of Rites, but also because of the particularity of his identity, he has always been half of Wu Shan's spokesperson. At this extremely sensitive moment, he actually appeared here, but it revealed a strangeness.

"Lin Ruoyu? Why did he choose this time to visit? Gao Yi's brows furrowed slightly, and he looked at Dong Fen in confusion and asked.

There was a trace of disdain at the corner of Mao Kai's mouth, and he immediately speculated: "The so-called is to go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, Lin Haoran came this time, I think he came to canvass for Wu Shangshu!" ”

"If it's to canvass for votes, I'm afraid he will find Lei Li and those people first, instead of coming to visit Brother Yongjun in the first place!" Grohe shook his head slightly, judging very rationally.

When the news of the addition of only two places came out, even if the relationship between the two parties was very harmonious before, it was now in a state of hostility.

Lin Haoran came to visit as soon as possible, if it was really for Wu Shan to enter the cabinet to canvass for votes, this move not only seemed very immature, but also may directly intensify the contradictions between the two sides.

Lin Haoran is not an ordinary official, but a genuine Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Rites, how could he make such a low-level political mistake?

Dong Fen had dealt with Lin Haoran several times, and knew that the other party was an extremely shrewd politician, so he directly ordered the housekeeper: "You go out and invite people here!" ”

The butler answered, and then turned and hurried away.

Dong Fen had a calm feeling that he was not surprised by the incident, and said bitterly to the two people: "This soldier is coming to block, and the water is coming to cover the earth, let's meet him directly for a while!" ”

"Yes, that kid can't hold any waves!" Mao Kai nodded with high fighting spirit.

Gao Yi hesitated for a moment, but seriously proposed: "Brother Yongjun, if the two of us avoid it, if you see Lin Ruoyu alone, he won't go around in circles too much!" ”

"It's good! None of us are outsiders, just go and sit in the middle of the room and listen! Dong Fen thought for a moment, and nodded lightly.

The Dong Mansion is a large-scale house, this study is quite large, the outside is a spacious living room, and the inside is a more private place.

Gao Yi and Mao Kai glanced at each other, stood up and bowed their hands to Dong Fen together, and then went to the room to wait for Lin Haoran's arrival.

After a while, Lin Haoran, who was wearing a three-grade official uniform, followed the housekeeper to Dong Fen, hugged his fists at Dong Fen and said, "The lower official has seen Master Dong!" ”

"Uncle Zuo, please take a seat!" Although Dong Fen's personality was a little arrogant, he greeted Lin Haoran warmly.

Lin Haoran thanked him, and sat down at the tea table opposite, but when he saw the two tea cups next to him, his eyes didn't know where to put them.

The current tea cup is so obviously placed here, and in this turbulent period, how can there be no one in Dong Fen's mansion, everything points to the fact that there are two people here just now.

Dong Fen also discovered this flaw, and when he saw that the housekeeper brought tea to Lin Haoran, he gave the housekeeper a look and asked him to accept the teacup.

Lin Haoran pinched the lid of the tea and splashed the hot tea lightly, but he noticed that there was a shadow under the light inside, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but pout a faint smile.

Dong Fen sighed secretly in his heart, and found that this junior was indeed not to be underestimated, so he asked directly to the point: "Uncle Zuo suddenly visited, but I don't know why he came?" ”

Lin Haoran came to the door only a handful of times, and every time he came to the door, he had business to discuss, more to canvass for votes. Like last time, Lin Haoran was for Pan Jitao's new official position.

The so-called court push, in fact, many results are predetermined in advance. Before each court push, all parties have used their connections to pull in enough votes to achieve the desired results at the time of the court push.

Only this time, Dong Fen couldn't guess Lin Haoran's motives, so he simply opened his mouth to ask.

Lin Haoran took a sip of hot tea, and then raised his head and responded with a smile: "Lord Dong, Xiaguan has taken the liberty to visit this time, in fact, he is here to help Lord Dong enter the cabinet!" ”

Yes?

When they heard this answer, Gao Yi and Mao Kai, who were hiding in the room, almost exclaimed.

Dong Fen's eyes widened, and he said in disbelief: "Is this true? ”

"How dare the lower officials play with adults!" Lin Haoran put down the teacup and said seriously: "My father-in-law is willing to take the initiative to give up his candidacy for this court recommendation, and will spare no effort to help Lord Dong and help Lord Dong sit on the throne of the last assistant." ”

Because of Xu Jie's conspiracy methods, it is a pity that his father-in-law cannot enter the cabinet this time.

It's just that if Yan Ne and Li Chunfang both enter the cabinet, then the Xu Party will firmly grasp the government and even complete the layout of "the inheritance of the power of the first assistant" ahead of schedule.

Due to the consideration of the current situation, even if there is no substantial benefit gain this time, he intends to help Dong Fen be elected to the cabinet.

This move can not only overturn Xu Jie's wishful thinking, but also disgust Xu Jie, why not do it?

Because Yan Ne is the eighth second-class jinshi in Jiajing's 20 years, Dong Fen is the second second-class jinshi in Jiajing's 20 years. If the two of them enter the cabinet together, then Dong Fen will be in front of Yan Ne by a slight advantage, and become the second assistant of the Ming Dynasty.

If that time comes, Dong Fen will share the firepower of Xu Jie's side like Yuan Wei, so as to ensure that the Xu Party will not have a monopoly situation.

It was precisely because of this consideration that Lin Haoran chose to visit Dong's Mansion as soon as possible and extended an olive branch to Dong Fen.

This......

Gao Yi and Mao Kai, who were hiding in the room, glanced at each other, and their eyes were full of ecstasy.

Dong Fen knew that it was impossible for Lin Haoran to play tricks on himself with this kind of thing, but he asked seriously: "Uncle Zuo, there is no such thing as pies in this world, but I don't know what the conditions are?" ”

Although Lin Haoran brought an exciting piece of good news, and even had the excitement of being hit by a pie falling from the world, he kept his calm.

"Master Dong, what you say is out of sight! In the past, the lower officials were taken care of by Yuan Ge Lao, and when Yuan Ge Lao left Beijing, he also told Xia Guan to have more contacts with Lord Dong! Lin Haoran took a slow sip of tea and responded with a smile on his face.

This is already a profound meaning, he does not need any additional conditions, but hopes to maintain the close relationship between the Wu faction and the Zhejiang faction, and will still advance and retreat together in the future court push.

Dong Fen smiled heartily: "Haha...... The old man replaces wine with tea and toasts Uncle Zuo with a cup! ”

With Wu Shan abstaining, then he can compete for two cabinet seats. Now with Lin Haoran's help, then he can be said to have the chance to win, and the second auxiliary throne is already close at hand.
