Just as Lin Yanchao was about to walk out of Wenyuan Pavilion, he suddenly stopped and said, "Teacher, the student has another secret matter to tell. ”

Shen Shixing asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Lin Yanchao said: "There is a ...... about Zhang Whale"

After speaking, Lin Yanchao took out a letter from his sleeve and presented it, this letter was Zhang Whale's handle.

After reading the letter, Shen Shixing asked, "Is this serious?" ”

Lin Yanchao said: "It's true, the people of these three families are all protected by me, and the human and material evidence is there, as long as the news is leaked, Zhang Whale will have no place to be buried." ”

Shen Shixing put the letter on the case, and then said: "This credit is appropriate, it can reverse the situation, if it is inappropriate, it is also a hot potato, forcing Zhang Whale to jump over the wall in a hurry, why do you want to hand it over to me?" You also have a handle in Zhang Whale's hand. ”

Lin Yanchao said: "Zhang Whale has made the inner court into a miasma, if it continues like this, he will be Wang Zhen again, Liu Jin." Such a person is either in the hands of the teacher or must be removed, so the student thinks that it is more useful to keep the handle in the hands of the teacher than in the hands of the student. ”

Speaking of this, Shen Shixing nodded, but his face was still very cautious.

Lin Yanchao said again: "But the student thinks that the teacher is not in a hurry to play this card?" The inner court went to a Zhang Whale, and the person who replaced it may not listen to the words of the teacher, rather than this, it is better to use this matter to blackmail Zhang Whale and make him bow down to the courtiers, which is the best policy. ”

"For example, this time the net army was abolished, Zhang Whale repeatedly obstructed, and secretly asked Yushi to impeach the students, wanting to obstruct this matter, and as long as the teacher took out this handle, Zhang Whale was absolutely obedient and did not dare to make a mistake."

A few days later, the Qianqing Palace on a snowy night.

The four little eunuchs in front were in charge of the lamps, while Zhang Cheng and Zhang Whale were walking on the corridors in the palace.

The snow on the road had accumulated a few inches, and in the deep palace in the dead of night, the sound of boots rustling.

"After the godfather leaves, you and our family will be left in the palace, it's strange that it's lonely." Zhang Whale sighed.

Zhang Cheng said: "I heard that you found another pair of food in the palace, how can you talk about loneliness." ”

Zhang Whale smiled bitterly: "What about food, it's just to relieve boredom, the mansion is three thousand, and the night sleep is not more than six feet, our eunuchs are rootless people, where they come from, they can go wherever they come, and they can't leave any thoughts in the world." In the past, I always felt that my godfather was too pedantic, and often taught us what to do more good deeds on weekdays and accumulate some yin virtue for the next life, but at that time I always felt that I couldn't listen to it, but now that my godfather is gone, I finally understand his hard work, but it's a little too late. ”

Zhang Cheng stopped and said, "But my godfather died because of you." ”

Zhang Whale said: "You tell me this? The godfather can't think about it himself, and no one can force him. ”

Zhang Cheng shook his head, shook the snow on his cloak and said, "Say, it's so late, what's the matter with coming to me?" ”

Zhang Whale sighed and said, "Don't hide it, I have a handle that has been taken by someone." ”

"Who is it? You are the governor of Dongchang, if you don't take the handle of others, forget it, who dares to take your handle? ”

"It's Lin Yanchao, the current scholar of the Hanlin Academy."

"Lin Sanyuan? With your current status, even if you have a handle, Lin Sanyuan can't defeat you. ”

Zhang Whale said: "I'm not afraid of Lin Sanyuan, but he gave this handle to Shen Shixing." ”

Zhang Cheng's color changed suddenly, but seeing that Zhang Whale was indeed scared now, he had never been afraid of being like this in front of him. Zhang Cheng pondered for a moment and then asked, "What are you going to do?" ”

Zhang Whale said: "Shen Shixing and Lin Yanchao deal with me, I also guard against it, and Shen Shixing's henchmen also have my people, and he inquired about a word." This time, His Majesty was exempted from the court for several months, and the power was inevitably a little sideways, and Lin Sanyuan has been persuading Shen Shixing to come forward and take over the government and be a promising prime minister. ”

"But Shen Shixing didn't have the courage, this time Lin Sanyuan instigated Shen Shixing to reveal the secret, and my people overheard it in Wenyuan Pavilion, and the two disagreed."

"So what?"

Zhang Whale sneered: "Do you think Shen Shixing doesn't want to do this beautifully? That's this cautious nature, he doesn't necessarily want to be a minister of power, but he doesn't have the ability. ”

"So you're going to take refuge in Shen Shixing?"

Zhang Jing nodded and said: "You really know me, as long as our family opens and closes a blind eye for him on the Son of Heaven's side, although his power is not as strong as Zhang Taiyue back then, it is not far behind." ”

"You are also a dignified factory governor, how can you want to do something for him?"

Zhang Whale said: "At present, the civil officials are very dissatisfied with me, and I have the authority to act as the leader of the ministers in Shen Shi, as long as he can suppress those civil officials for me, then what else do I have to fear." Everyone takes what they need, and it is just a matter of taking a shot. ”

"As for face, it doesn't matter, we eunuchs are not those civil officials, what do we want to do with reputation, isn't there a saying 'If the mountain doesn't come, I'll go to the mountain'."

Zhang Cheng said: "But since Feng Shuanglin, Your Majesty hates the collusion between the cabinet and the ministers the most!" ”

Zhang Whale smiled and said, "As long as you don't say it, there will be no second person to tell Your Majesty." ”

Zhang Cheng said angrily: "That's not necessarily, I won't lie for you." ”

Hearing this, Zhang Whale knelt in the snow of Yongdao and cried: "Godfather is our two sons, you are the most filial godfather on weekdays, I will ask you for the sake of Godfather, save me This time, I really have no second way to go." ”

"If I don't take refuge in Shen Shixing, I will die."

Zhang Cheng wanted to ignore it, but saw Zhang Whale grabbing his trouser leg, and the few little eunuchs in front of him who were holding the lamp saw this scene, and quickly turned their heads to stand facing the red wall of the road.

One hesitated a little, and the other scolded, "Don't you want to die? ”

Zhang Cheng sighed halfway: "Okay, I won't say it, but if there is a second person to say, it's not my business." ”

Zhang Whale was overjoyed when he heard this, and kowtowed: "Thank you, thank you, you are my new parents, and you will be my godfather in the future." ”

Zhang Cheng shook his head and left.

Zhang Whale knelt in the snow for a while, and when he saw Zhang Cheng get up from the snow after walking away, he laughed a few times and finally left.

After the first month of the fifteenth year of Wanli, the Son of Heaven has reached an outrageous point.

Hundreds of officials in the DPRK and China complained.

But at this time, Lin Yanchao had already contacted Zhong Yuzheng, Lin Cai, Yang Manuscript and other eight Kedao officials, and was ready to make suggestions on the removal of the net army together.

The joint name of the officials can be described as huge, this is a thunderous blow, there is no seventy or eighty percent certainty, and no one dares to dare to do so.

Now it can be said that everything is ready, only the east wind is owed.

It was on this day that Fang Congzhe hurriedly rushed to the Han Courtyard and said to Lin Yanchao: "Lord Bachelor, it's not good, Shu Yinglong, the secretary of the Nanjing Ministry of Industry, went to the Son of Heaven today and asked the imperial court to remove the pure army!" ”

As soon as these words came out, Lin Yanchao, who was discussing tomorrow, and his henchmen were all discolored.

The matter of dismantling the pure army is already a kick in the door.

But now there are people who are rushing ahead of them.

What is this like?

to make wedding garments for others.

Zhong Yuzheng and the others are all disgraced, they have been preparing for this matter for a long time, but now they are the first.

But Lin Yanchao said: "What a whale! ”

The crowd didn't know why.

It turned out that Shu Yinglong was the father of Shu Hongzhi, who was moved to the Nanjing Ministry of Industry two months ago and became a member of the second grade.

This is Zhang Whale calculating himself.

Lin Yanchao immediately decided: "Prepare the car to enter the palace immediately." ”

Soon, Lin Yanchao saw Shen Shixing in the duty room of Wenyuan Pavilion.

Shen Shixing saw that Lin Yanchao was handling official business, and said without raising his head: "You are here for the matter of Shu Yinglong, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry in Nanjing, right?" ”

Lin Yanchao nodded and said, "Teacher, this must be Zhang Whale's idea, he wants to ......"

Shen Shixing stopped his pen and looked at Lin Yanchao and said, "The old man already knows. ”

Lin Yanchao has turned from anger to calm on the road, and losing the opportunity means that the matter is a foregone conclusion.

At this time, it is useless to be angry, not to be busy questioning, let alone to sprinkle.

Lin Yanchao said: "Teacher, the student thinks that as long as the matter of abolishing the pure army can be passed in front of the emperor, it doesn't matter if the student is personally dismissed. ”

Shen Shixing put down his pen and got up from his seat and said: "You guessed right, this time it was Zhang Whale who targeted you, he knew that the matter of dismantling the net army was a certainty, and you were about to go to the top, so he instructed Shu Yinglong to take the lead and take the credit for himself." ”

"But I can't help but approve this concerto, because the Son of Heaven has already issued an edict to allow the reduction of 70,000 taels of silver apportioned by the Ministry of Household to the provinces, and also promised to reduce another 100,000 taels after three years, which is really beyond our original plan."

Lin Yanchao was a little sad, but also said happily: "That's good, that's good, this is the luck of the country and the society, as long as the salary can be disarmed, what is the grievance of the students." ”

Shen Shixing sighed: "No, this is the old man's fault. If it weren't for your insistence, the old man would not have dared to compete with the Son of Heaven for the 300,000 taels of silver. 300,000 taels in a Chinese New Year's Eve, 3 million taels in 10 years, and the cost of the Battle of Ping-Burma the year before was only 2 million taels. ”

"But what you fought for the court is more than just two million taels. If the officials in the world are like you who do not spare themselves and consider the country's social welfare, then even the three emperors and five emperors will let you have three points. ”

Lin Yanchao said: "The teacher is too reputable. ”

This sentence is true, Lin Yanchao had already negotiated with Kedao, and in the end, there were some salary cuts for his own reputation, wanting to achieve unexpected and shocking results, so he forced Shen Shixing to negotiate with the emperor.

But at this moment, Lin Yanchao has put down his gains and losses: "As long as it is beneficial to the country and the community, what is the trivial matter of students compared to the world?" Without further ado, the Holy One has always been indecisive, and if the Lord changes his will and retracts his will, he will regret it, and the student implores the teacher to draw up the will immediately to avoid long nights. ”

Shen Shixing nodded and said, "It's good if you think about it." ”

Speaking of which, Lin Yanchao knew that this matter was a foregone conclusion, and he had no way to reverse anything, so he immediately waved to President Shen Shi, and then left Wenyuan Pavilion.

After leaving Wenyuan Pavilion, Lin Yanchao understood the ins and outs of the matter in an instant.

Zhang Jing must have reached an agreement with Shen Shixing in advance. Yes, he handed over Zhang Whale's handle to Shen Shixing, just to threaten Zhang Whale not to make trouble in the matter of dismantling the Pure Army.

But he didn't expect Zhang Whale to be so decisive, not only gave up the Jingjun, but also fell directly to Shen Shixing.

Ps: The recent update is a bit slow, these chapters are not easy to write, not only to make the tide a little frustrated, but also not to abuse the master, the scale between the left and right is difficult to grasp, it's really brain-consuming. Foresee, the loss now will be compensated later. Let everyone be anxious, beg for forgiveness. 8)
