When the early summer sun falls on the road, people's steps will unconsciously speed up.

Wu Shan looked up at the palace gate in front of him, and said seriously: "Although you have merits, your age and qualifications are too shallow, and now you will definitely cause criticism for the position of the sixth book, and it will not be beneficial to your career." If you really want to move at the moment, the left squire of the official department is the most suitable for you, firstly, you can have more qualifications, and secondly, you can also gather some officials who support you in this position! ”

Although Lin Haoran's resume is very dazzling, but age and qualifications are a big shortcoming, this is not the era when Ganluo was twelve years old.

However, the authority of the left servant of the Ministry of Officials is actually greater than that of the ordinary six Shangshu, and because he is in control of the promotion and retention of officials, he is already the object of the hundred officials.

"Father-in-law, my qualifications and age are really not enough, but I am now the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites!" Lin Haoran knew this, but he emphasized.

Wu Shan came to the shadow in front of the palace gate and glanced at Lin Haoran seriously, this was indeed the key point.

Although the son-in-law is young and has little qualifications, since he is already in the left waiter of the Ministry of Rites, he must have the dignity of the left waiter of the Ministry of Rites. But there will be no reason for Gao Gong, the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, to skip his promotion to the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, even if Gao Gong is promoted to Shangshu, so even if Lin Haoran's official position is not behind Gao Gong and Gao Yi, it is also to be on an equal footing.

Wu Shan nodded slowly, and also analyzed: "Yes, this is your biggest reliance at the moment, and it is also the capital I dare to fight for you!" Now that there are four important positions in the six parts, there is no reason to ignore you, your chances are indeed great, but ......"

"Xu Jie won't let me easily set foot on the step of the Six Shangshu, and even the Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Officials is unlikely, so I have a plan!" Lin Haoran had expected this, and he seemed to be as prophetic as he was.

Wu Shan stopped in front of the city cave at the palace gate and asked curiously, "What plan!" ”

Lin Haoran looked at the few soldiers guarding the door standing next to him, but he didn't say it directly, but grabbed Wu Shan's hand and wrote two words on the palm of his hand.

The soldiers standing in front of the palace gate looked at Lin Haoran so defensively, but they cast a disdainful gaze.

Wu Shan knew what Lin Haoran wrote, his eyes flashed with doubt, and he immediately glanced at Lin Haoran deeply, and finally walked silently towards the palace gate cave.

The city cave is very cool, and it is a square exposed to the sun through the city hole.

It is said that in the face of this weather, the officials who came out first should leave in a hurry, but a group of officials gathered together to whisper, while Yang Bo hurriedly returned to the palace gate.

Hu Song was old, and he couldn't keep up with Yang Bo's footsteps, but he followed behind out of breath. Yang Bo, who was walking in front, saw Wu Shan and walked into the palace gate without saying hello.

Got a military incident?

Wu Shan and Lin Haoran exchanged glances, and immediately said in shock.

Lin Haoran looked at Hu Song, who was out of breath, and immediately stopped him and said, "Hu Shilang, but what happened in the war?" I don't know if it's south or north? ”

Hu Song was already nearly seventy people, and he was already unable to move forward, so he swallowed and spat and said truthfully: "I just got the news that the Tartars have invaded Liaodong!" ”

Wu Shan's heart was also tight, and he immediately asked, "Did you come in?" ”

"Back to Wu Ge Lao, the military information from Liaodong just now only said that the Tartars were coming to attack, and there was no news of entering the customs!" Hu Song already paid more attention to Wu Shan, and replied truthfully.

When Wu Shan heard this answer, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Lin Haoran shook his head gently, the Ming army's strategy of holding on to it was certainly able to stabilize the territory of the Ming Dynasty, but it also consumed the spirit of the northern army.

Every day they shout "a rich country and a strong army", but the essence is that all parties are wishful thinking and consider their own interests. In the long run, the Mongol problem will be like a suzerainty problem, and if you get by, you will definitely end up in collapse.

"Elder Wu Ge, Lin Shilang, I will go to the cabinet to discuss with Yuan Fu first, and I will leave!" Hu Song regained some strength and said goodbye to the two.

Lin Haoran looked at Hu Song, who left in a hurry, and accompanied Wu Shan to the sedan chair that greeted him, and at the same time handed over the holy decree to the housekeeper who was waiting here, and the housekeeper also congratulated Wu Shan happily.

Before getting into the sedan chair, Wu Shan suddenly turned around and said: "I shouldn't be too high-profile when I enter the cabinet, you and Yang Futian's gang can celebrate on your side, don't take it from my side!" ”

"Yes!" The corners of Lin Haoran's mouth were bitter, but he saluted respectfully.

Wu Shan left from Xiyuan, and returned directly to the Yamen of the Ministry of Officials to explain relevant matters, and then followed the subordinate officials of the Ministry of Yamen to have a "promotion banquet".

The news of Sanshangshu's entry into the cabinet soon spread throughout the officialdom, but a few families were happy and a few were sad.

However, with the public news, the festive atmosphere was diluted a lot, even if Lin Haoran held a banquet with Yang Futian and others that night, there was more scolding.

The military situation in Liaodong has been more detailed: Altan Khan's eldest son Xin Ai Huang Taiji led his troops to attack Ningyuan Xiaotuan Mountain Fort and plunder people and animals. After hearing the news, the guerrilla general of the middle of the Guangning road led the army to attack bravely, the Mongolian cavalry retreated, and the line supplemented the gun and pursued relentlessly, and accidentally ambushed the enemy in the area of Loess Terrace and Wu Jianshan, and the army led by the line was surrounded several times. Fighting to the death with the guerrilla general Yang Weifan of Zhenwubao, he fought from morning to sunset, personally beheading a leader of the Mongol tribe. Fortunately, Ning Yuan's general Shi Huashan led his troops to help, which repelled the Mongolian cavalry of Xin Ai Huang Taiji, but he was hit by two arrows in the face of the enemy and died of his injuries.

The matter is not over yet, Shi Huashan was extremely heroic in the battle, and directly killed in front of my eldest son Xin Ai Huang Taiji, which will make Xin Ai Huang Taiji turn on his back.

In the same way, when I learned the news, I immediately dispatched a large number of Mongolian cavalry to Liaodong, threatening to help my son kill Shihuashan Xueqiu, and a bigger war seemed to be about to break out.

In the flower hall of the Lin Mansion, a group of people sat around the table, and the smell of wine emanated from the table and everyone.

"You say it's funny or not, but Yang Bo wants to transfer Shi Huashan away from Ningyuan and transfer him back to Guangdong as the deputy commander-in-chief!" The military department gave Wei Shiliang more information in the matter, but it was to the same year present.

When Zhou Youqing heard this, he immediately asked, "Elder Xu Ge won't agree to his plan, right?" ”

"Huh...... Xu Jie is a smart person, but he will not agree to directly transfer Shi Huashan to the deputy commander-in-chief of Guangdong, but he promises to call people back! Wei Shiliang took another sip of wine and responded mockingly.

When Yang Futian and the others heard this, they shook their heads helplessly.

Da Ming finally came out with a fierce general like Shi Huashan, but the result was only because he was worried about my retaliation, but he did not wait for a frontal battle, and transferred Shi Huashan back from Ningyuan.

"From this incident, it can be seen that the transfer of the southern generals to the north proposed by the senior brother is really promising, not only breaking the historical geographical restrictions between the north and the south of the Ming Dynasty, but also allowing the generals of the northern corpse to see what heroism is!" Xiao Jinian held the wine glass and said seriously to everyone.

When Lin Haoran heard about himself, he also said with a wry smile: "Brother Xiao praises it, Shi Huashan is actually a general in the north, his ancestral home is from Shandong, and his fighting style is known for his bravery. It's just that I put forward the idea of 'transferring generals from the south to the north', mainly because I want generals like Yu Dayou who are skilled in the art of war to lead the northern soldiers, so as to achieve the goal of being more flexible in response to battles, instead of always being led by the nose by the Tartars! For example, this time the guerrilla general's line in the middle of Guangning was ambushed by the enemy, and if it was an experienced general in the south such as Yu Dayou, I am afraid it would not be easy to fall into this trap. ”

Wei Shiliang picked up the teacup and wanted to drink, but after some deep thought, he had already seen a different scenery in the north, and his eyes slowly bloomed brightly.

Everyone turned their heads to look at Lin Haoran in surprise, and Zhou Youqing sighed heavily: "Although Senior Brother is young, he is always so thought-provoking every time he speaks. Just because of your views on military affairs, I know that you are a hundred times better than Yang Bo, and it is the blessing of the Ming Dynasty for you to serve as the secretary of the military department! ”

Xiao Jinian and others also felt the same way, and at first they also thought that Lin Haoran's "transfer from the south to the north" was to train generals like Yang Bo, but after seeing these remarks, they knew that this was a good way to effectively solve the problem in the north.

Lin Haoran took a sip of wine, but shook his head lightly and said: "Even if the imperial court asks me to serve as the secretary of the military department, the current imperial court requires that it be adhered to, and the military salary in the north is often misappropriated. It is difficult to solve the great disaster of Mongolia even if the south is transferred to the north! ”

"Mongolia's troubles have been around for a long time, how can they be solved all at once, but with the ability and thinking of the senior brother, it will definitely be about a hundred or a thousand times better than that Yang Wei!" Zhou Youqing firmly admired the Tao.

When Lin Haoran was about to say something, Wei Shiliang had already stood up and toasted solemnly to Lin Haoran: "Senior brother, you and I drink this cup together!" ”

Xiao Jinian and the others looked at Wei Shiliang suspiciously, not understanding which one he was singing.

Lin Haoran originally wanted to ask why, but looking at Wei Shiliang's firm gaze, he finally chose to pick up the wine glass without saying a word, and drank with him.

"Senior brother, I have been on a vegetarian meal for many years, and after today, I am afraid that it will be more auspicious, but I hope that when he meets again in the future, you and I can still drink and talk!" Wei Shiliang put down the wine glass, and then turned around and left.

Everyone turned around and left after watching Wei Shiliang stack up these words, and they had already guessed something in their hearts, Wei Shiliang was definitely going to impeach Yang Bo again.

It's just that "again and again" is sparse on the ground, and Yang Bo is afraid that he can't tolerate him. Now that the teacher has entered the cabinet, Yang Bo will definitely not hesitate to use the power of the officials to transfer Wei Shiliang out of the capital.

However, knowing that this move would ruin his future, Wei Shiliang still chose to go up, and had to admit that Wei Shiliang was indeed a real man and a like-minded person who wanted to change the Ming Dynasty.

Lin Haoran originally wanted Yang Futian to chase people back, but when the words came to his lips, he still swallowed them back.

Now his most secure career path is naturally to be transferred to the high-powered ministry, but Daming is full of holes at the moment, and if many things are not done sooner or later, I am afraid that it will be too late to make amends.

It was also at this moment that his father-in-law's proposal was not necessarily right, and the left servant of the Ministry of Officials was not necessarily the best place to go.

With Wei Shiliang leaving, Xiao Jinian and others also said goodbye and left.

"Yan Ne has entered the cabinet, and the head of the household should be taken over by Ma Shilang, right?" Yang Futian was the last to leave as before, and asked Lin Haoran.

Lin Haoran shook his head lightly and said: "It is said that Ma Sen, the left attendant of the household department, is the most suitable, but Ma Sen is too close to our teacher, Xu Jie should arrange someone from his side or Yang Bo's person!" ”

It is related to the candidates above Shangshu, even if it is Xu Jie, he will no longer be polite. Even if he doesn't arrange his own people, he will arrange Yang Bo or neutral people, and he will definitely not arrange Ma Sen, the left servant of the household department who is close to them.

Yang Futian nodded thoughtfully, and then followed Lin Haoran to leave.

Lin Haoran personally sent Yang Futian to the door, and then returned to the back house, but there was a rumbling thunder in the night sky, accompanied by a frightening lightning.

Facing the night sky of lightning and thunder, he felt his own insignificance, no wonder the people of this era like to be superstitious about the gods.

By the time he had taken a bath, the yard was already pouring rain.

Lin Haoran originally planned to go to Wu Qiuyu's house, but was suddenly trapped by the heavy rain, and looked up at Hua Yingrong's room with the lights on, so he changed his mind and pushed open the door of Hua Yingrong's room.

Hua Yingrong is a woman who pays great attention to the quality of life, and the room is not only spotlessly kept, but also reveals some luxury and style, and the inside is tiled with Persian carpets.

When the green-clothed girl saw Lin Haoran come in and motioned for her to leave, a clever smile appeared on her face, and she obediently withdrew and closed the door casually.

Hua Yingrong, who has an elegant temperament, is wearing a single summer dress, and is sitting under the lamp to seriously deal with the affairs of the United Money Bank, holding a thick account book in her hand, but she has the habit of biting the head of the pen.

Because there was thunder and lightning outside, Lin Haoran opened the bead curtain and came in, which did not arouse Hua Yingrong's vigilance.

Lin Haoran came in and saw this ordinary small action, but he couldn't help but be stunned, but he didn't expect this mature woman to give him a sense of youth and naughtiness, and the red lips seemed more and more attractive.

Hua Yingrong seemed to find that there was a problem with the accounts, and a trace of frost swelled on her pretty face, and she was carefully reviewing it, and she also made some marks on the account book from time to time.

Lin Haoran stood in the room for a while, but he had a childlike heart, but he suddenly stomped on the ground to scare Hua Yingrong.

When Hua Yingrong heard the movement, her body was not trembling, but she turned her head with a frosty face, and when she saw that it was Lin Haoran, she glanced at her angrily and said, "How old are you?"

"Twenty-four for the husband, don't you remember?" Lin Haoran was so accused, but he touched his nose in embarrassment and said.

When Hua Yingrong heard this age, she glared at him angrily, but she still counted: "You may be able to be the person of the six Shangshu soon, and you still play this kind of child's trick!" ”

It seemed that he thought that Lin Haoran's actions just now were a little cute, and he couldn't help but have a smile on his face.

"It's you who are boring, how can you be so calm, it can't scare you!" Lin Haoran shrugged his shoulders and sat down directly next to her.

Hua Yingrong didn't mind him saying this, so he clicked on the account book and said: "It's the wrong time you picked, there is a problem with the accounts in Guangdong, and I'm angry in my heart!" ”

"What's wrong with Guangdong?" Lin Haoran glanced at the account book, but he was puzzled.

Hua Yingrong handed over the account book directly and said: "Actually, it's not a big deal, now there is too much turnover in Guangdong United Money Village, so someone can't be greedy, I'll send someone back to beat it!" ”

"Is it just a bang?" Lin Haoran said slightly puzzled.

Hua Yingrong and Lin Haoran have a good way of communication, Hua Yingrong likes to talk to Lin Haoran about business things, and Lin Haoran likes to talk to Hua Yingrong about officialdom.

Of course, the two of them are now facing a thorny problem, and Lin Haoran naturally has to sow seeds diligently, especially in this kind of stormy night.
