Chapter 173: Political Opinions
"Chen Lin Yanchao knocks thank God!"
After Lin Yanchao took the letter, he saw that the back of the letter was painted with the pattern of Duanjin Lotus, with a gold shaft, and the number 'Fengtian Order' at the head and end of the volume.
This edict also has the level of a first-grade book, which is exactly in line with Lin Yanchao's current level of third-grade officials.
The number of words in this official letter is also particular, and the higher the official position, of course, the more words.
Lin Yanchao solemnly put away the edict, and then put it on the incense case, at this moment his expression was solemn, his mood could not be calm, and he didn't know what to say for a while.
When the officialdom is promoted, when he is proud, he is ecstatic, he can't be a lifetime, or he is pretentious, pretending to be indifferent, and his demeanor is myriad, and he can't say it all one by one.
Lin Yanchao didn't want to deliberately pretend anything, but the whole person was still tense.
Zhu Geng has been in the officialdom for a long time, as a servant of the ministry, he is also familiar with this scene, he and Lin Yanchao stood side by side, and said to the officials: "Lin Butang and this official have been friends for many years, Lin Butang has unparalleled learning, valuable character, and there are many commendable things about studying as an official. This is just as it is said in the holy decree that all the men have a vision, and the four sides are hopeful. ”
With Zhu Geng's words, it is equivalent to supporting Lin Yanchao on behalf of the officials, and it also alleviates Lin Yanchao's current situation of being a little overwhelmed.
Lin Yanchao calmed down and replied: "The younger brother is young and has little qualifications, so he doesn't dare to be called Shaozai, so please mention it more in the future." ”
In the officialdom, the status of the official department is second only to the first assistant, and the official department servant can compete with the other five books. Therefore, although Lin Yanchao and Zhu Geng are now at the same level, he must lower his identity.
Zhu Geng smiled: "Don't dare to be." ”
Then Shao Zhonglu in the Wenxuan Shilang also came forward and said: "Lord of the Ministry Hall, he has been an official for eight years and seven moves, and he has already lived in eight seats before the age of thirty, but compared to learning for the fifteen-year-old middle and nineteen-year-old middle champion, I don't know which is more difficult, which is easier?" ”
"But it will be pushed up, Jiuqing all push the ministry hall as the first, and then use the royal pen circle, it can be seen that whether it is the saint or the bottom of the hundred officials' hearts, they all belong to the ministry hall. As the Lord of the Ministry said in the recital, *******, will he avoid it because of misfortune and fortune. Shao still remembers it in his heart, Shao is convinced that words are the voice of his heart, and the adults of the ministry will live up to it. ”
Lin Yanchao thanked Shao Zhonglu, he knew that the other party was also standing for himself, after all, he was less than thirty years old and was in the third grade, and some people would be dissatisfied, but which one was easier than Sanyuan and the first?
After the court push, it is still the positive push in the court push, and then it is selected by the Son of Heaven.
This is the surest path for officials, and procedurally impeccable. If anyone doubts Lin Yanchao's youth, but are you questioning the vision of the current dynasty Jiuqing and today's son?
After Zhu Geng, Shao Zhonglu said this, and all Hanlin were full of emotions.
Lin Yanchao also came back to his senses.
Lin Yanchao first arched his hand to Shao Zhonglu to show his gratitude, and then looked at the people in the hall, Liu Yukui, Liu Yuanzhen, Xiao Liangyou, Sun Jigao, Huang Hongxian, Zeng Chaojie, Liu Chuxian, Zhang Yingyuan, Lu Kejiao, Yang Qiyuan, Yang Dezheng, Feng Qi, Sun Chengzong, etc.
Most of these Hanlin subjects are above themselves, and they entered the Hanlin Academy earlier than themselves, and the rest have also worked together for five or two years.
The Hanlin people are also in a complicated mood, there are not as many interest struggles in the Hanlin Academy as there are other yamen, and Lin Yanchao's promotion to the head of the Ministry of Rites this time still makes many people feel uncomfortable.
Zhonghan Lin such as Liu Yukui is the five years of Longqing Shu Jishi, he was the room examiner in the eighth year of Wanli, Xiao Liangyou was his single-handed, and finally in the selection of Huiyuan, he was the only one in the Hanlin who recommended Xiao Liangyou.
In the end, Lin Yanchao went to the Hanlin Academy as the champion, Liu Yukui is not a narrow-minded person, he is just mediocre to Lin Yanchao, he pays the most attention to Xiao Liangyou, and faintly hopes that he can suppress Lin Yanchao in his career in the future.
But eight years have passed, not to mention Xiao Liangyou, even he has been compared to Lin Yanchao.
If Xu Xianqing served as the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, he would still say something, but Lin Yanchao ...... They also knew Lin Yanchao's talent, and sooner or later he would have to worship Lang in the future, but he was less than thirty years old and ranked in the ministry, and he couldn't help but have mixed feelings in his heart, mixed tastes, and complicated feelings.
After being silent for a while, Lin Yanchao sorted out his mood and considered it word by word: "Fang Cai Dazai, what Shao Lang said, Lin is ashamed. has been an official for eight years, and he is ranked in the third rank before the age of thirty, which is the saint, and the trust of hundreds of officials for Lin, but for Lin, he is really ashamed to be afraid, and he is afraid that he is not competent. ”
Zhu Geng, Xu Xianqing and other officials, and the officials of the Hanlin Academy all knew that Lin Yanchao's words were normal humble words for officials to take office.
"But......" Lin Yanchao changed his words and said, "But Lin thought of a senior, but he was a little sure in his heart. ”
Zhu Geng was surprised in his heart, this is not a normal routine.
Zhong Hanlin thought to himself, what was Lin Yanchao going to say when he was newly appointed, was he getting carried away? Shouldn't you be cautious when you speak?
Lin Yanchao's gaze swept over everyone and said: "Lin Mou wants to say that this person has a bad reputation in the Han Academy, and many people are ashamed of him since he became an official, and the officials outside say that he is a traitor, saying that he is a worldly flattering, and there is this person who is not in harmony with hundreds of officials and is not in harmony with the government." However, this person's career as an official has been smooth sailing, and he has only been an official for six years before entering the cabinet. ”
Speaking of which, all the officials know who Lin Yanchao is talking about.
Lin Yanchao said: "The rank may already know, the other party is Zhang Yongjia in the early years of Jiajing. ”
Baiguan's face was solemn, what did Lin Yanchao say at this time? Is it going to roll over?
Zhu Geng and other officials gestured to Lin Yanchao with a look, but Lin Yanchao still said when he saw it: "Actually, Lin Mou has already had a word in his heart and is unhappy, and today the princes are here to congratulate Lin Mou's promotion, but Lin Mou is still worried. The saint has clouds, but he can talk but not talk to him, and he loses people; Unspeakable, unspeakable, gaffes. ”
"Today, Lin is in a dilemma if he loses his words, when he doesn't say it, he loses the trust of the princes in Lin, and he is afraid of making a taboo when he says it, but Lin would rather lose his words than lose people, today he can only say from the bottom of his heart, and the Tao will be with the princes!"
When the officials heard this, they were all moved.
At this moment, Lin Yanchao finally let out a long breath in his heart, this is the feeling of expressing his chest directly.
"Zhang Yongjia was born in a great courtesy discussion and was quite criticized by the courtiers, but when he was the first assistant, he successively exhausted the Zhuang Tian occupied by his relatives and dismissed the ministers who guarded the world.
"When Zhang Yongjia was an official, Liu Jin's disaster had just gone, and the former ministers of the ministers saw Liu Jin and needed to bow and knock, but Zhang Yongjia was not, and the eunuchs were called 'Zhang Ye', since the beginning of this dynasty, the eunuchs have been in power, their morale has been stretched, and the dignity of the ministers has been worshiped by Zhang Yongjia."
"Zhang Yongjia, when he was an official, devoted himself to public service, generous, and did not avoid resentment. Lin once read two of his poems and still thinks about it, one is 'one meal and three sighs, Li Min is stopping hunger', and the other is 'It's difficult to be happy alone in the year of hunger, and the officials are so redundant that they are idle', and the heart of worrying about the country and the people is seen in the words and sentences. ”
Lin Yanchao paused and then said: "Today, Lin is here to mention Zhang Yongjia, not for anything else, but to respect him for cutting Zhuangtian, dismissing the town guard, and rectifying the affairs of the officials." His ambition Lin also yearns for it. Of course, the matter of being an official is happy, and the matter of promotion is of course more happy, and the official is happy to be happy with the three products, but for Lin, being an official is not for the sake of being a minister, living in eight seats, and his ambitions cannot be displayed, so what is the use of these three joys for Lin? ”
Speaking of this, including Zhu Geng, Xu Xianqing and other officials, they all listened and fell into deep thought.
Lin Yanchao's words today were really too shocking for them.
Zhang Xuan has done two things in his life, one is to weaken the power of eunuchs, and the other is to reform the law.
It is understandable to weaken the power of the eunuchs, I have always heard that Lin Yanchao and Zhang Whale are at odds before, and suppressing the power of the eunuchs is a matter of course for Wenchen.
As for the reform of the law, this is a big problem.
Back then, Wang Shizhen once talked about Lin Yanchao and said that he was like Zhang Juzheng.
Mo Feilin Yanchao plans to do the same thing as Zhang Juzheng and Zhang Yongjia (Zhang Xuan), that is, to reform the law.
At present, the atmosphere in the court is still generally taboo to change the law.
No one knows what Lin Yanchao thinks about the change of law and politics.
However, when he first wrote to rehabilitate Zhang Juzheng, and the idea of the Shigong school was to reform the law, these two points made many officials keenly guess Lin Yanchao's political views.
But Lin Yanchao didn't admit it in person after all, so everyone was just guessing.
Now that Lin Yanchao said that he wanted to follow Zhang Xuan, should he suppress the eunuch power or change the law to reform?
If the emperor knows that you, Lin Yanchao, are going to change the law, what will he think? Do you think that you are the second Zhang Juzheng, not the second Zhang Zhang?
No matter which proposition it is, it can be believed that with Lin Yanchao saying it today, it will undoubtedly cause quite a stir in the future.
Zhu Geng couldn't help but pause silently and said, this son is here again, just like the Shangshu back then, why are you so anxious, even if you want to suppress the officials, change the law and reform, such a big thing, how can it be made public in front of hundreds of officials, even if you really have this heart, can't you wait for the cabinet to be silent, after you become the prime minister, the surface is silent, and then the inside is subtle?
In the face of this, Lin Yanchao knows from the bottom of his heart, he knows that there is a lot of political risk in announcing his political opinions at this stall.
But this is like a flag, it must be raised.
I didn't say it before because people were soft-spoken, but now I say it because I don't want to say one thing and do another when I will be in power for a day in the future. Zhang Juzheng's change can be learned, and my change is upright and natural.
After Lin Yanchao finished speaking, he arched his hand and said: "Words from the bottom of my heart, don't vomit or be unhappy, please learn from the public!" ”
The hall was extremely silent, and the officials did not know what to say at the moment, whether to go along with it or oppose it.
So they opted for collective silence.
Then, at the same time, there was a round of applause outside the hall.
The officials looked over, but saw that the more than 20 people standing outside the hall were clapping with their hands, raising their sleeves to try tears, and weeping with emotion.
