At the beginning of the new year, everything is renewed.

At the beginning of the fifteenth year of Wanli, when the fifteenth year of Jinzi's accession to the throne, Shu Yinglong, the secretary of the Nanjing Ministry of Industry, went to the table of the Son of Heaven to abolish the pure army, which suddenly caused a sensation among hundreds of officials.

And Lin Dang, perhaps Lin Yanchao, is in an embarrassing situation.

Many court officials knew that this time the incident was led by Lin Yanchao, leveling the forces of all sides, and finally facilitating the matter in front of the emperor, but at the last step, it was this Shu Yinglong.

A few people who don't know the truth rashly think that Shu Yinglong is the father of Lin Yanchao's protégé Shu Hongzhi, so it is not the same as Lin Yanchao's sparseness, but such a statement will be scoffed at as soon as it is said, and the possibility is too small.

Shu Yinglong did such a thing, it was simply a taboo in officialdom, how could Lin Yanchao have a break with him?

On the second day of Shu Yinglong's watch, Shu Hongzhi immediately asked for illness.

Now no one doubted it.

Lin Yanchao is a bachelor of Hanlin, Shu Hongzhi's father did such a thing, how can his son see Lin Yanchao.

Shu Hongzhi's move was tantamount to losing Lin Yanchao's face, and he almost made it clear that Lin Yanchao would repay him, and he would go home early to avoid Lin Yanchao wearing small shoes.

Coupled with the impeachment of the imperial history a year ago, Lin Yanchao is on the cusp at the moment.

The atmosphere in Hallym Temple is also different from the past.

But the common people still go for a daily morning run.

Barbarism is its physique, civilization is its spirit. The slogans shouted by the Gurgis struggled to run in the courtyard.

The Hanlin Academy is a place of scholarly literature and ink that attracts the attention of the world, and the atmosphere of the Hanlin Academy is the most simple and conservative.

But since Lin Yanchao, the director of the Hanlin Academy, there are some differences every day.

Xu Xianqing, the master of the academy, would see the Shujishi running in the morning every day after arriving at the Hanlin Academy, and he always felt that the Shujishi ran and jumped like this every day, which was a little jumpy, not a quiet atmosphere of studying.

But because Lin Yanchao is the leader, he is also difficult to say, to avoid conflicts between the two, which is also where he is cautious as an official. This time, the imperial history impeached Lin Yanchao, because of his words and deeds that distorted morale, one of which was this morning jog that got up early every day.

He knew that even if he didn't say it, there would always be a day when the matter would be spoken, so of course he didn't mention it.

So Xu Xianqing still didn't speak.

But Xu Xianqing doesn't say it, it doesn't mean that others don't say it. On this day, a person came to the Shujishili in the running drill and said: "Enough, you come every day, like a martial artist, is it the atmosphere of my Hanyuan school?" ”

The person who spoke was the reviewer of Ji Daotong.

In the Hanlin Academy, it is a place that attaches great importance to seniority, and Ji Daotong came forward to scold, which made the people who were sweating profusely stop.

"I've seen Ji Hanchang! In the past, we also ran in the morning, why didn't Ji Hanchang say it in the past, but he said it today. "The person who spoke was Yuan Zongdao, who won the first place in the second class last year.

"This time and that time."

"What do you mean?"

Ji Daotong said: "Then I will tell you bluntly, the predecessors of our Han Academy, they all thought that it was not a proper thing for you to run every morning, and let you give it a try, but now for more than a year, I see that your style of study is impetuous, and every day is not better than a day, so I propose to correct it!" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was in a boil, and Xu Xianqing, the master of the academy, heard a commotion outside in the academy, and immediately ordered someone to investigate, and soon after the report was that Ji Daotong came forward to represent the colleagues of the Hanlin Academy and asked the common people to stop their daily morning runs.

Xu Xianqing listened noncommittally, and then said: "Let them say it, let's not come forward in this matter for the time being." ”

There were a few people gathered around Ji Daotong, and when he saw that no one in the academy had stopped him, he was even more fearless at the moment.

The common people dare not speak out, at this time it should have been Yang Daobin who came forward, he was the author, and the official position was still above Ji Daotong.

But Yang Daobin didn't dare to argue, and Shu Hongzhi went home again, at this time, only the editor Sun Chengzong came forward and said: "Ji review, the morning run is the decision of the bachelor, you oppose the morning run, do the bachelors know?" ”

Ji Daotong said: "This ...... It doesn't matter if you know this, Master Lin is about to leave office, forget it, let the new teacher Xi mention you, that's all, I would like to advise you not to make mistakes! ”

After speaking, Ji Dao Tong laughed and left.

The crowd often looked at each other.

"Brother Zhizhi, what does Ji Han mean by this? Is it true that he is leaving? ”

Several concubines gathered around Sun Chengzong, and Sun Chengzong shook his head, full of worry.

Soon after, everyone changed their clothes and came to the school to sit down, and everyone was talking.

Everyone knows that Lin Yanchao's suspension this time is mostly due to the impeachment in the imperial history. There are two ways to be impeached by officials, one is to defend oneself, and the other is to suspend oneself from office.

In fact, the latter is also a normal practice for officials, Shen Shixing has been impeached repeatedly, and every time he is impeached, he immediately resigns.

This is not hypocrisy, but what ministers should do.

When Jiajing was in power, he hated the behavior of officials who defended themselves after being impeached, and even issued a holy decree that once an official was impeached, he would first take the initiative to suspend him from office and then explain himself.

Therefore, the officials behind them basically follow the method of 'suspension and waiting for crime', such as Lin Yanchao's previous officials who did not stop their posts and then defended themselves, either they were very impulsive, or they were very hard in the background.

And Lin Yanchao's impeachment charge is to teach the deviant knowledge of the Fujis.

The people were often indignant, and Hu Kejian said directly: "We have jointly sent a letter to the court, and teaching us is definitely not a deviant study. ”

Immediately, someone objected: "This is the spirit of the scholarly business, have you forgotten to teach Xi to teach us the words of 'gentlemen can't think of a position'?" ”

Everyone saw that this person was Li Yi.

"Brother Li is just worried about your black gauze hat, if you don't dare to go up, I'll come!"

"Shut up," Li Yi said loudly with a flushed face with anger, "As ordinary people, we have not yet been officially awarded an official, how can we say things easily, have you forgotten how Gu Yuncheng was demoted?" Even if we don't want to fight for the future, but the gathering of the people is something that has never happened in the past, so isn't it even more suspicious and confirms the sin of the bachelor? ”

You fight for me, and soon someone said, "The teaching is coming." ”

The crowd did not speak.

Lin Yanchao has already come to the school.

When everyone saw Lin Yanchao coming, they all got up and saluted, and their moods were very complicated, and even the voice of the salute was a little smaller.

Lin Yanchao said as usual: "I read all the articles written by you in yesterday's library class......

Everyone saw that the articles in their library class were carefully corrected by Lin Yanchao.

Just like his rigorous temperament, he is still meticulous in his work to this day. After that, Lin Yanchao taught the museum class as usual, and everyone thought that he was going to reprimand him for attacking his political views on 'trade and benefiting workers' when he was teaching today, but Lin Yanchao didn't say anything.

casually mentioned a sentence during the banquet, but seeing that Lin Yanchao was also fair-minded, he did not insist that he must be right, but the Tao, that is, there is a theory, of course, there is a broken theory. Lin Yanchao didn't say anything with a slight click, his expression was very calm, and he didn't see any injustice.

During the period, he also smiled from time to time to ask why everyone didn't speak today, and when the hall was about to be dispersed, Lin Yanchao left his homework, and then said: "Everyone, I have already asked the court to resign, just waiting for the approval of the court, tomorrow's hall class will be taught by Zhu Shaozong, whether the court retains it or not, I am here to say goodbye to you today." ”

Although everyone is prepared in their hearts, they are all in their hearts at the moment.

After Lin Yanchao finished speaking, he waved to everyone and left, and everyone got up and said, "Teach!" Teach! ”

Everyone stood up and saluted, but Lin Yanchao turned around and saw that Sun Chengzong and the others had tears in their eyes.

Lin Yanchao asked, "What do you mean by this?" ”

Yuan Zongdao stepped forward and said: "I am waiting for the teacher to teach and learn, and I have been a protégé for more than a year, and I have been taught and taught every day. Teaching and lecturing tirelessly, in terms of knowledge and economy, we must understand, sit around and talk after class, and talk endlessly. The teacher is very gracious, how to thank you in words, please teach me to wait for a while! ”

After speaking, Yuan Zongdao left the lesson plan and came to Lin Yanchao to shed tears.

The rest of the commoners bowed down in the same way.

When Lin Yanchao saw this scene, he remembered the relationship between master and apprentice in the past year, and he also turned around and bowed: "Everyone, whether Lin can come back and forth this time or not, but this friendship will be remembered by Lin in his life. ”

Speaking of this, Lin Yanchao said again: "You all know that Lin has the heart to break the accumulated habits and change the law, but there is also a way to govern people, you are studying in Hanyuan, in a small way, it is a matter of eating the king's Lu loyalty, in general, to strengthen China as the ambition, the revitalization of the Chinese people as their own responsibility, today but I hope that the monarch will set great ambitions, work hard, and he will become a pillar of talent one day!" ”

After Lin Yanchao finished speaking, he got up and left, never looking back.

When he returned home in the carriage, Lin Qianqian greeted him, and Lin Yanchao said to Lin Qianqian with a smile: "Madam, this time your father-in-law has been suspended again, and in the future, I will be at home at home, and you will support the family!" ”

Lin Qianqian had already heard about something, and he was worried about Lin Yanchao, but when he saw him say this, he laughed and said: "Xianggong, it's time for you, you still have leisure to laugh." ”

And Xu Huobo, Yuan Keli, Lin Xin and other protégés also came to greet each other.

Xu Huobo said unevenly: "Teacher, it was not that there was no impeachment in the past, but the teachers were all negligent and self-defensive, why didn't the teacher explain himself this time." ”

Yuan Keli said: "What nonsense are you talking about, the teacher is advancing and retreating." ”

Lin Yanchao smiled and didn't say anything.

At this moment, seeing Fang Congzhe, Yu Yuli, and Lin Cai came to the Lin Mansion together.

Lin Yanchao saw that the three of them were worried, and immediately summoned the three of them to speak.

Lin Qianqian hurriedly said: "Xianggong, you haven't eaten yet." ”

Lin Yanchao said: "Put the food in the side hall." ”

Saying that, everyone entered the side hall together, and after the meal was arranged, the subordinates of the Lin Mansion all withdrew, and at this time, they saw Fang Congzhe and said with a solemn expression: "Something happened to the bachelor." ”

Lin Yanchao asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Yu Yuli said: "Brother Ming Ji and Brother Zhongsun have withdrawn!" ”

Lin Yanchao sighed when he heard this, it really happened.

Lin Cai said: "This is my responsibility, at the beginning, Brother Ming Ji and Brother Zhongsun had complaints, and this time after hearing that the bachelor resigned, the two of them complained." ”

Yu Yuli said: "The two of them are not the same way in the first place, and when they took the initiative to apply for a bachelor, they were actually to cling to Yuanfu's power. I knew it at the time, but I didn't tell it. Now that Motosuke is clearly not on our side, of course they are also drawing a clear line. ”

Fang Congzhe said: "Brother Yu is cautious! ”

Yu Yuli was also indignant, and now he regrets it as soon as he speaks. Everyone looked at Lin Yanchao together.

Fang Congzhe said: "If you go, you will go, the so-called tribulation will see people's hearts." ”

Yu Yuli said apologetically: "Bachelor, everything is to blame on me, blame me for not knowing anyone." ”

Lin Yanchao nodded and said: "I don't blame you for this matter, nor do I blame Ming Ji, Zhongsun, when I presided over the affairs of Shangshu, I originally came to everyone with like-mindedness, and everyone persuaded the Son of Heaven together, Zhengjun's heart, as for the like-mindedness, everyone is a little selfish, and their own little abacus is also understandable." ”

"Of course, I hope that both righteousness and good can be united. Now we are persuading the Son of Heaven to have reached the goal of the righteous monarch's heart, and although we have not done anything about the removal of the pure army by the imperial court, we have done it. But we can't just inspire you with righteousness and not give you its benefits, even the saints don't do it. ”

"This time the matter has failed after all, I, Lin Yanchao, have failed to live up to everyone's trust and expectations for me, this time I am not careful, all the responsibility lies with me, I am really to blame, here I would like to apologize to the three and your colleagues this time!"

After speaking, Lin Yanchao poured a large glass of wine, raised his glass to the three of them, and drank it all.

The three of them were all sad when they saw Lin Yanchao say this, and they were about to speak, but Lin Yanchao continued: "The current thing has not succeeded, and Yuan Fu ...... To be honest, this time Yuanfu supported Shu Yinglong, but he didn't support me, this is the truth and I want to explain it to you, please tell you, everyone go and stay for yourself, and I will never complain about those who leave. ”

"But the person who is willing to stay is my fellow believer, I don't say that Lin Mou will make a comeback one day, and how is it with you, today I only ask you to help the society together, for the country and the people, and die without regrets!"

Speaking of this, Lin Yanchao poured another glass of wine and raised it and looked at the three of them.

The three of them glanced at each other, then poured their own wine, and Lin Cai raised his glass and said, "Zong Hai, please!" ”

The two of them drank it all at once.

Lin Yanchao poured wine again, and it was Yu Yu's turn. Yu Yuli said: "Look up to the sky and laugh and go out, how can my generation be a pennyman!" ”

After speaking, Yu Yuli drank it and laughed: "Happy! Joyfully! ”

Lin Yanchao looked at Fang Congzhe after drinking, and Fang Congzhe said: "For the country and the people, Fang Mou doesn't dare to take it, but it is my honor to meet a few people in this life." ”

said that Fang Congzhe also drank it all.

As soon as Shu Yinglong played a sparse job, the net army set up by the Son of Heaven in the inner court after Zhang Juzheng's death was finally abolished.

The amount of money that was originally apportioned by the household department to the provinces was reduced, and the officials of the provinces, especially Shandong and Henan, which had the heaviest apportionment, celebrated each other, and the people were also exempted from taxes.

As for the household department after three years, it can also save 100,000 taels of silver every year, and as for the remaining 100,000 taels, of course, it will be entered into the inner transportation warehouse, although there are still dissatisfaction with the officials, but all the officials know that the Son of Heaven is greedy for money and good goods, and it is not easy to deduct this money from the hands of the Son of Heaven.

And Shu Yinglong, the secretary of the Nanjing Ministry of Industry, was famous for this matter, and by virtue of the prestige of the abolition of the pure army, the Shangshu of the Ministry of Officials requested that Shu Yinglong be transferred from Nanjing to Beijing. 8)
