Lin Yanchao's heart sank, and he understood a lot in an instant.

It turned out that the emperor had never thought of establishing a crown prince, and this Donggong Shizuo was also a bait to test his attitude.

The Son of Heaven said casually: "When he first met me, he said that Wang Linchuan knew about Song Shenzong, and the prime minister had something to do, but I thought that knowing the encounter was not the same as stealing power and trespassing without permission, and driving on the master." The power to change the law is still in the hands of Shenzong, which is the difference between Wang Linchuan and Zhang Jiangling. ”

Lin Yanchao said at the moment: "Your Majesty has a grand plan, and you already have an idea in your heart, when to abide by the text and when to deal with it, you have your own holy will ruling." ”

"Of course I have an opinion," the Son of Heaven raised his hand and pressed it and said: "You can't employ people with virtue and talent, talent without virtue, ministers who can have the ability to adapt, Pan Shangshu counts as one, and Mr. Shen counts as one, but Pan Shangshu and Mr. Shen are old, in case something happens in the world, who else will govern the world for me?" ”

Lin Yanchao lowered his head.

The Son of Heaven said: "Your achievements in returning to Germany are obvious to all, Pan Shangshu has governed the river for so many years, and there are few officials who praise it so much." But if you can govern a government well, it does not mean that you can govern the whole world. I have hundreds of millions of people, hundreds of millions of people, there are hundreds of millions of hearts, to make the top and bottom together, to think in one place, is the difficult thing, can you do it yourself? ”

Lin Yanchao felt a little unreal at the moment, did he hear it wrong now.

Lin Yanchao was about to be humble, but after thinking about it, what else is there to be modest at this time, isn't this his goal?

What is there to hide?

Lin Yanchao fell to the ground at the moment, but his voice was unusually resolute: "As long as Your Majesty is willing to believe in the ministers, the ministers are willing to serve the country, for the community, for the people of the world, and they will not hesitate to do anything!" ”

The Son of Heaven was silent for a while, and then said: "Okay, I remember this sentence, I will wait and see!" ”

Just when Lin Yanchao was in a trance, Chen Ju and the other internal supervisors all entered the house, and Lin Yanchao also knew that the dialogue between the two of them ended here.

But what about the mind of the Son of Heaven?

At this time, eight internal eunuchs stepped forward and lifted the sedan chair of the Son of Heaven directly from the hall.

Lin Yanchao said immediately: "I respectfully send Your Majesty, and I hope that Your Majesty will take care of the dragon's body......"

Lin Yanchao said in his heart, what to take care of, you should lose weight.

But the Son of Heaven smiled and said, "I know, so is Lin Qing, the errand of the Zhan Mansion, you better go to work." ”

Lin Yanchao was stunned for a moment and then said: "Yes, Your Majesty, there is still one thing about the minister!" ”

Chen Ju was about to shout and drive back to the palace, but was interrupted by Lin Yanchao, and the Son of Heaven asked with a smile: "Lin Qing, what else do you have to say?" ”

Lin Yanchao said: "Your Majesty, at the beginning, by the grace of Your Majesty, Chrysostom Yuyan asked the dog to study with the emperor, but now the minister doesn't know if he can invite ......."

The Son of Heaven thought for a while and said, "I'll mention this matter later." ”

This answer was not unexpected by Lin Yanchao, but with this sentence, he also had an explanation for Shen Shixing.

It's just that his son can't study, Lin Yanchao thought to himself, that's okay, it's a big deal, he won't go to a private school, and he will invite a teacher to his home to teach secretly.

It's just that if you want to take the imperial examination, it will be troublesome.

And the palanquin of the Son of Heaven also slowly left the Lin Mansion.

The sedan chair was covered with curtains on all sides, and the Son of Heaven leaned on the back of the sedan chair and asked Chen Ju: "What do you think of Lin Yanchao, can you succeed Shen Shixing in the future?" ”

Chen Ju said: "This slave doesn't dare to talk nonsense, but the slave has never seen which courtier's mansion His Majesty went to, if it weren't for His Majesty's attention, ordinary ministers don't have to treat him like this." ”

The Son of Heaven nodded and said, "Of course, I have to think twice about the candidates for the Privy Court, and be cautious. There is also his fellow countryman Ye Xianggao, and Sun Chengzong, who is the eye of the list, and I think the two of them are also talented. ”

Chen Ju said: "Your Majesty will never be wrong when looking at people. ”

sent the Son of Heaven away, and at that moment Lin Yanchao went to the Shenshi Mansion.

At the beginning, he was a Toshen Shixing who asked to see the Son of Heaven, and now that the Son of Heaven has come to his house, he has to reply to others.

Lin Yanchao arrived at the Shen Mansion, but saw that Shen Shixing was very busy.

It turned out that yesterday's officialdom somehow misreported the news that the Son of Heaven was going to be a noon dynasty.

After hearing the news, the officials all thought to themselves that the Son of Heaven had not been to the early court for nearly a year, how could he get up at noon.

So after the officials spread the word, they all drove out of the palace, and everyone thought in their hearts that most of them were in poor health, and they wanted to make a will, or designate the prince or something, everyone's hearts were all up and down, and no one counted.

As a result, after all the officials arrived at the noon gate, they were told that there was no such thing as the noon dynasty, and they were tricked.

As soon as this incident came out, thousands of officials were deceived, which made the Son of Heaven very angry, thinking that he had lost the system of the imperial court, and let Shen Shixing pursue it, so Shen Shixing thought that it was the responsibility of the Ministry of Rites and Honglu Temple, and punished this ministry and a temple.

Lin Yanchao visited Shen Shixing at this time.

Shen Shixing was very busy, and kept saying: "Zong Hai, to make a long story short, the old man is really busy......"

Lin Yanchao said: "Yes, Master Qiqi, Your Majesty came to my house today." ”

Shen Shixing glanced at Lin Yanchao, and after writing a few more words, he immediately rang the bell and called Shen Jiu outside the door in and said: "This inscription of reprimand, the old man wrote the main stem, you finish making him up, the words and sentences are considered harshly, and then the Ministry of Rites, you don't have to hand it over to me again!" ”

"Yes, sir." Shen Jiu answered, and then went out with the inscription.

Shen Shixing said to Lin Yanchao: "You say it carefully......"

Lin Yanchao elaborated, concealed his persuasion of the Son of Heaven to postpone the establishment of the crown prince, and then said that he had agreed to the errand of the Son of Heaven to serve as the young Zhan of the Zhan Mansion.

Shen Shixing pinched his beard and said, "Your Majesty, did you mention the establishment of the country?" ”

Lin Yanchao said: "Your Majesty faintly asked which prince was more virtuous, but the student said that he didn't dare to talk about it, so he didn't say anything. ”

Shen Shixing frowned and said: "Then apart from which prince is more virtuous, did Your Majesty say when the emperor Yuanzi will come out of the pavilion to study?" ”

Lin Yanchao said: "The student mentioned that the dog was studying with His Majesty's Emperor Yuanzi, but His Majesty said it later. ”

Shen Shixing heard this: "So Your Majesty has no plans to let Huang Yuanzi go out of the pavilion to study at the moment?" ”

Lin Yanchao said: "This ...... This student is not good at guessing. ”

Shen Shixing's brows furrowed deeper and said: "Your Majesty will not delay it until the third son of the emperor can also go out of the pavilion to study, and then do this matter, when the prince is eleven or twelve years old, this is impossible." ”

Lin Yanchao remained silent.

Shen Shixing looked at Lin Yanchao and said, "Let's talk about you, you took this errand, and the key to it doesn't need to be said by the old man." When the prince went out of the cabinet to study, he acquiesced in the identity of the prince and recognized the emperor's eldest son to contact the officials, because if the vassal king was based on the ancestral system, he was not allowed to associate with the ministers. ”

"Therefore, the officials who teach the prince to read will be the auxiliary ministers of the East Palace in the future, Gao Xinzheng, and Zhang Jiangling will be the former ministers of the first emperor's hidden residence, and Lin Zhenheng, who was born in the Lin clan of Lianpu in your hometown, is the lecturer of the Jingwang Mansion.

Lin Yanchao also sighed silently, his teacher Lin Yan's brother Lin Xian is King Jing's teacher.

And Zhang Ju is Yuwang's teacher.

When he was studying, he blamed Zhang Juzheng for suppressing his teacher and his brother, but now this matter can be figured out.

Shen Shixing said: "You are so young, the Son of Heaven has appointed you Shao Zhan Shi, that is, the future prince master, the identity of two generations of emperors, for you in the future, even if Zhishi returns to his hometown, there is a holy family, which can bless your family and grandchildren." ”

Lin Yanchao said: "Back then, Xu Wenzhen (Xu Jie) recommended Zhang Jiangling as Yuwang's teacher, and the teacher recommended the student as Shao Zhan Shi today. ”

Shen Shixing nodded and said, "Yes, this matter is difficult and difficult here." So this matter will also fall on you, Zong Hai, you have to share one or two for the old man here just like the original dismantling of the pure army. ”

Lin Yanchao was a little silent when he heard this, and Shen Shixing would not be untargeted.

As a bureaucrat, there is absolutely no favor.

He recommended himself as the prince's master, firstly, to compensate for the losses when he had abolished the pure army, and secondly, to let himself help him promote the emperor's son to go out of the cabinet to study.

If he can complete the matter of Huang Yuanzi leaving the cabinet to study when he is in office, then as he said above, when Huang Yuanzi ascends the throne in the future, this kindness of protection can be extended to his family and descendants.

That's right, for Shen Shixing now, he is already a very good minister, and the next thing he wants is honor and disgrace behind him.

He and Xu Jie, the two first assistants, are so thoughtful.

In comparison, Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng are much worse.

Although Shen Shixing took advantage of himself, Lin Yanchao was still grateful to Shen Shixing for this matter, because it was beneficial and harmless to himself, and the difference between a master and a low hand in politics was here.

On the contrary, Lin Yanchao felt a little guilty in his heart, and felt a little sorry for Shen Shixing, because he persuaded the Son of Heaven to postpone the establishment of the prince, which happened to be the opposite of Shen Shixing's proposition, which was a move to dismantle the stage.

Shen Shixing was well-intentioned, but he didn't expect that it was the Son of Heaven who would live for more than thirty years. really waited for the crown prince to ascend to the throne, for Lin Yanchao, it was that the daylily was cold.

And the Son of Heaven is not easy to fool.

The Son of Heaven uses the prince's master to test himself, which is equivalent to seeing whether you Lin Yanchao wants to be Zhang Juzheng or Wang Anshi.

Fortunately, I passed this hurdle.

But in front of Shen Shixing, Lin Yanchao could only assure him that he would definitely follow the example of dogs and horses.

The following is the matter of his promotion to Shao Zhan.

In the newspaper, Lin Yanchao, the son of Zuo Chunfang, was promoted to the post of Junior Zhan Shi of Zhan Mansion and Bachelor of Hanlin Academy, and was in charge of Zhan Affairs.

On the same day, Zhao Zhigao, the former Guozi Priest, was also transferred to the Hanlin Academy, and was promoted to the post of Junior Zhan Shi of the Zhan Mansion and a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy.

Lin Yanchao and Zhao Zhigao were appointed together, and he actually stood on the same starting line as the next first assistant.

Lin Yanchao returned to the Hanlin Academy, this time he did not wear a green robe, but once again put on the crimson robe of a four-grade official.
