Next door to Lin Yanchao's house, the officials were discussing fiercely.

And in Lin Yanchao's house.

Sun Chengzong said: "The impeachment of Zhang Whale and Yuan Fuzhi by the two imperial historians of Enshi, He, and Ma is really powerful. The friendship between the ministers and the cabinet is a taboo for the Son of Heaven, and it is also a taboo for all officials. ”

Lin Yanchao said: "If you are Yuanfu, how should you deal with it?" ”

Sun Chengzong thought for a while and said: "Back then, Zhang Jiangling, Feng Shuanglin and the others were derogatorily called 'Erzhuo'. The Son of Heaven saw the disposition of Zhang Jiangling and Feng Shuanglin. So at present, no matter whether he has anything to do with Zhang Whale or not, he must put aside his involvement. ”

"How do you get rid of it?" Lin Yanchao asked.

Sun Chengzong thought for a while and said: "Zhang Whale has followed the Son of Heaven for many years, and under the care of the Son of Heaven, maybe he will issue an order to be heavily responsible for the impeachment of He, Ma and the two imperial histories, if Yuan Fu can protect the two imperial histories here, then he will inevitably be praised by the Qing Dynasty." ”

"And then?" Lin Yanchao asked.

Sun Chengzong hesitated and said: "Then, Yuan Fu should defend himself to the Son of Heaven and confess his heart, the Son of Heaven still has to rely on Yuan Fu, and he will not be held accountable." ”

Lin Yanchao shook his head and said: "That's wrong, in my expectation, Yuanfu will not only protect the impeached He and Ma, but also immediately attack Zhang Whale, and lead the cabinet to put pressure on the Son of Heaven as his first assistant, so that he will give an account to the Son of Heaven!" ”

Sun Chengzong was shocked when he heard this: "Isn't this falling into the plan of Gu and Zhao?" They're expecting Motosuke to do that. ”

Lin Yanchao said: "You think that if you defend yourself, you can dissect your heart to the Son of Heaven." But will the Son of Heaven believe? Only by falling into the well and eradicating Zhang Whale when the crowd starts is the way to win the trust of the Son of Heaven. ”

Sun Chengzong thought for a while and said: "Teacher, I still can't understand it, if Yuanfu doesn't impeach Zhang Whale, it's good, but if he is impeached as soon as he is instigated by the official, it won't confirm his suspicion, there is a sense of being a thief, originally the Son of Heaven never doubted it, but under this move, he thought that Yuanfu and Zhang Whale had something to do with it before, and the student thought that at this time, it should be the best policy to respond to all changes with the same." ”

Lin Yanchao smiled: "If Yuanfu does this, it is not impossible, but if you are Zhang Whale, the imperial history will not impeach you, and the Son of Heaven suspects you of colluding with the cabinet, what should you do?" ”

Sun Chengzong said suddenly: "Yes, Yuanfu doesn't start, Zhang Whale will deal with Yuanfu when he comes over later, so he will also confess his heart to the Son of Heaven." What the teacher saw was really far-sighted, and he was convinced. ”

Only then did Sun Chengzong understand why Lin Yanchao had been able to stand tall in the political arena for so many years. Today, Lin Yanchao gave him a vivid lesson.

Lin Yanchao said: "Although Yuanfu fell into Gu Xiancheng and Zhao Nanxing's calculations this time, this move can resolve the crisis for him in front of him, so he must continue to walk." The loss of Zhang Whale has certainly broken the balance in the court, but it is better than not maintaining the phase. ”

Sun Chengzong said: "The words of the teacher, Chengzong is really taught, but in this way, it will be difficult for Yuanfu to sit in the future phase, according to the strategy in the teacher's chest, there must be a way to help Yuanfu overcome this difficulty." ”

Lin Yanchao smiled when he heard this, and then said: "Childish rope, whether there is a strategy or not, why should I help Yuanfu?" ”

Sun Chengzong was stunned when he heard this, and then understood that he was a little difficult to accept in his heart.

Lin Yanchao patted Sun Chengzong's shoulder and said, "Today's words, you have to remember. ”

"It's hard for students to ......"

Lin Yanchao suddenly said at this time: "At the moment, I am in a place of suspicion, and it is still unknown whether I will be able to enter the cabinet in the future." But you know, it doesn't really matter to me whether I join the cabinet or not. ”

"If I am attacked by political enemies in the future and go into the wilderness, you must remember not to stand up for me, and it is the best policy to protect yourself. This day has come to this point, changing the Dharma is the only way out, you don't have to be so pessimistic, although today's pattern is full of crises, but the time to make great achievements is also today, you must be ready to bear this world for me at any time, and then you can endure the humiliation and bear the burden of the society, so that it can be regarded as a reward for my years of cultivation of you. ”

Sun Chengzong was shocked when he heard this, and then trembled: "Teacher......"

Lin Yanchao waved his hand and said: "My ambition has been half realized, Tao Zhouwang and so many disciples will pass on the scriptures and meanings of the study of merit for me, as long as the scholars in the world are still there, then the study of merit will be passed on endlessly." ”

"And in the temple there are you and Meimei, one of you is in the cabinet, the other is in the ministry, ten years later, the official position may not lie under me, the things of the court can be done, and if you can't do it, you will focus on attracting future generations, and the mantle will be passed on from generation to generation. A spark can still start a prairie fire, not to mention the efforts of so many people. ”

"In this way, even if someone suppresses me and doesn't let me enter the cabinet, then what pity do I have!"

After speaking, Lin Yanchao laughed heartily.

Sun Chengzong lowered his head, and then said in a low voice: "Teacher, the student hasn't thought so much now, in the heart of the student, the teacher is Wang Anshi, the mainstay of the world, the student is willing to be the teacher's precursor to changing the law, but he didn't think about shouldering this burden." ”

Lin Yanchao sighed: "For you now, the burden is indeed too heavy, you can rather bend than bend, and persevere, but you lack some flexibility and flexibility, but for the Son of Heaven, he can appreciate you." ”

"Your Majesty?"

Lin Yanchao nodded and said, "Yes, as far as I know, the Son of Heaven wrote your name on the screen of the Wenhua Palace......"

Listening to Lin Yanchao's words, Sun Chengzong's body was shocked.

After Sun Chengzong left, Lin Yanchao immediately ordered someone to leave Li Yi behind.

Li Yi looked worried when he saw Lin Yanchao, Lin Yanchao pressed his hand to let him sit down, and then said, "Are you also planning to impeach Zhang Whale?" ”

Listening to Lin Yanchao's words, Li Yi was startled, and as soon as his butt hit the stool, he immediately got up and bowed down from the chair and said, "Back to the teacher, the student does have this idea, I don't know how the teacher knows?" ”

Lin Yanchao said: "You mentioned this matter here today, just to let out a rumor, to hear the opinions of the audience, but also to test my thoughts, I ask you who instructed you to impeach you?" ”

When Li Yi heard this, he immediately said: "No one, the student is just angry, no one instructs, I implore the teacher to believe it...... Believe in the students, and the students dare not hide anything in front of the teacher. ”

Lin Yanchao said: "I know that you have always been loyal, otherwise I would have kicked you out of the door a long time ago." ”

"Teacher!" Li Yi's face was shocked, and his body trembled uncontrollably slightly.

He is now in charge of the department, and I don't know how many officials in the court want to see his face, but in front of Lin Yanchao, he is like a child who has nothing to do.

Lin Yanchao looked at Li Yi's expression, and then said, "Think your official position is easy?" Will this official resign from the official position in the matter and come back? I don't know how to cherish it, in order to bring down a whale, it's worth ruining your career? ”

Li Yi listened to Lin Yanchao's words, and his face turned red and said, "Teacher, the student is reckless." ”

Lin Yanchao said: "The impeachment matter is over, as for the reason, you will naturally understand it in the future, do you still have any objections?" ”

Li Yi immediately waved to Lin Yanchao and said: "The student is looking forward to the teacher's opinion, the teacher does not let the student go to the impeachment chapter, and the student does not write a word." ”

Lin Yanchao nodded.

In history, Li Yi was the main general who impeached Zhang Whale this time, and finally fell to a court staff of sixty and dismissed the official, and there has been no recovery since then, and his career ends here.

But this time Lin Yanchao personally ordered him, which can be regarded as preserving his career.

A few days later, the impeachment of Zhang reached its climax.

In addition to He Chuguang and Ma Xiangqian, Zhang Shangxiang, Wu Wenzi, Yang Wenhuan, Yushi Fang Wan Ce, and Cui Jingrong also impeached Zhang Whale one after another.

In the face of the anger of the hundred officials and the vigorous impeachment, the Son of Heaven issued an edict saying that he had already questioned Zhang Whale, and the name was called the confession of the matter.

At the same time, Shen Shixing was not allowed to resign, and for Ma Xiangqian, who accused Shen Shixing, the Son of Heaven ordered it to be handed over to the Beizhen Fusi for questioning.

The Son of Heaven thought that this move could calm the anger of the public, but Zhang Yingdeng continued to impeach Zhang Whale in the matter.

Yang Wei, the secretary of the ministry, is also the Son of Heaven, and wants the Son of Heaven to obey the public opinion to remove Zhang Whale, and the punishment is unclear at the moment, and he is willing to fight to go.

The Son of Heaven ordered Yang Wei to be retained and let him continue to supervise affairs in the Ministry of Officials.

And Shen Shixing, Xu Guo, and Wang Xijue asked the Son of Heaven not to punish Ma Xiangqian at the same time, and was willing to be punished with him.

The Son of Heaven was in a hurry, and in the face of such a tough request from the cabinet, he could only withdraw his order and issue an order to pardon Ma Xiangqian.

In this way, the three prime ministers temporarily promised that the Son of Heaven would not strike for the time being, and everyone would come out to do things together.

At this time, Gu Xiancheng, Tang Yaoqin impeached Zhang Whale again at the same time, and the Son of Heaven was furious and ordered the two of them to be dismissed from their official positions with thirty canes each.

When the Son of Heaven arrived at the pavilion, Shen Shixing and others were shocked, so they rushed to the noon gate to save people, but when Shen Shixing arrived, Zhang Cheng was already supervising the Jinyi guard Gu Xiancheng, and Tang Yaoqin's buttocks were beaten to a bloody blur.

Taichangqing Li Shangzhi, Xue Sancai in the matter, and the officials all gave Chen and Jiao in the matter to take care of the previous chapter, and the Tang two pleaded, but the Son of Heaven ignored them.

Xu Guo, Wang Xijue asked the Son of Heaven to resign again because of the matter of the Son of Heaven's staff, but the Son of Heaven did not allow it.

At the same time, the Son of Heaven issued a holy decree, ordering Wang Jiaping, who had been at home to guard the system, to add the title of Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites to gallop back to Beijing to enter the cabinet to do business.

Wang Jiaping refused after receiving the order, saying that he was still very sad and did not ease up.

And Song Qi, the head of the household, also resigned to the Son of Heaven, but the Son of Heaven did not allow it......

Even Zhu Geng, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, also played a side-kick, asking the Son of Heaven to save the amount of money in the palace, cut unnecessary internal officials, and the Son of Heaven stayed in the middle and did not report it.

This time to impeach Zhang Whale, the officials continued to go up, from the south to the north, whether it was Kedao, or the minister of the temple no one did not impeach Zhang Whale with a single sparse public sparse, the Son of Heaven was angry, and ordered Zhang Whale to be upright, and at the same time still the governor of the East Factory.

Zhang Whale not only did not fall, but gained more power,

So a conspiracy theory spread among civil officials, saying that Zhang Whale conspired to support Zheng Guifei of Kun Palace, and had a plan to establish a young child, and the Son of Heaven was ready to use Zhang Whale to eradicate all the ministers who supported the establishment of the emperor.

As for the cabinet headed by Shin Shixing, the attitude is ambiguous......

At this time, there was a problem in the Shuncheon Township Examination, and it turned out that after the Township Examination, some people reported that the Township Examination was unfair, and some candidates cheated in the exam.

Because of the big examination of Shuntian Yingtianxiang Examination, there are many people involved, and after every examination, there are unsuccessful candidates who criticize the imperial examination in various ways, and write letters to denounce that there are malpractices, so it is not surprising.

So the Son of Heaven ordered the Ministry of Rites and the Metropolitan Procuratorate to retest the Chinese-style lifting volume, which should have been presided over by Zhu Geng, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and Wu Shi, the imperial history of the left capital, but Zhu Geng suddenly became ill, and one said that he was sick, so he finally handed it over to Zuo Shilang Yu Shenxing and Zuodu Yushi Wu Shilai to be responsible.

This time the retest went wrong.

Yu Shenxing did not personally preside over the re-examination, but was personally checked by Yu Kongjian, a member of the ceremonial department, and Gao Gui, a priest of the ancestral hall, and then reported it.

And here's the problem, Yu Kongjian's son-in-law is Jiang Shichang, a member of the household department.

Jiang Shichang is the hardcore of Zhao Nanxing and Gu Xiancheng, and Yu Kong and Gu Xiancheng are also closely related.

Of course, Yu Kongjian was meticulous about the re-examination papers, and Zheng Guowang, the fourth in the Chinese style, Li Hong, the fifteenth, and Tu Dazhuang in the twenty-third had obvious mistakes in the papers.

Twenty-one Mao Yigui, twenty-two Pan Zhiyi, twenty-eight Ren Jiaxiang, thirty-two Li Ding, and seventy Zhang Yutang were found to have flaws in their words.

At that time, Yu Kong took the scroll and Gao Gui read it, Gao Gui was furious, and immediately told Yu Shenxing and Wu Shilai that they thought that the words were wrong and could be put away, but there were obvious errors in the volume, which Zheng Guowang, Li Hong, and Tu Dazhuang should be deprived of their fame, especially Tu Dazhuang's scroll not only has obvious errors, but also the volume is not reasonable, and the chief examiner Huang Hongxian should be held responsible.

Not to mention Huang Hongxian, this Li Hong is Shen Shixing's son-in-law.

In the face of these volumes, Yu Shenxing did not say a word, and came to a silence, when Shen Shixing instructed Huang Hongxian to preside over the township examination, he knew that there was a problem. Now this matter is obviously related to Shen Shixing, although he is angry in his heart, he has no choice but not to say a word.

However, Wu Shilai, the imperial historian of the left capital, wanted to suppress this matter and save all eight people.

Yu Kongjian, Gao Gui, and Wu Shilai argued in front of the officials of the Ministry of Rites, and finally Wu Shilai forcibly suppressed the matter as the number one leader of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and Yu Shenxing, the only one present who could overturn this opinion, did not oppose it on the spot.

But Gao Gui, Yu Kong Jian couldn't swallow this breath, and Yu Kong Jian was Shen Shixing's protégé, and it was not easy to turn his face.

Therefore, Gao Gui put aside Wu Shilai with the acquiescence of Shen Xing, and poked out the matter by name, in addition to Li Hong, Gao Gui also mentioned another Chinese-style lifter Wang Heng, who is the son of Wang Xijue.

Gao Gui has a sentence in the recital, 'power is a traitor, justice is bad.'

Gao Gui cited Zhang Juzheng's three sons who ranked first in the examination one after another, and the two sons even ranked in the top three.

According to Zhang Juzheng's example, can the son of a cabinet minister casually be promoted to a jinshi? In this way, what is the fairness of the imperial examination?

Gao Gui said that it was Zhang Juzheng, but in fact he scolded Shen Shixing and Wang Xijue, the two prime ministers, and the Son of Heaven couldn't help but be shocked and ordered Kedao to check.

And Shen Shixing, Wang Xijue also said that he would take the blame and resign.

Wang Heng has real talent and learning, and it is expected that he will be promoted, and Wang Xijue's resignation is because of his son's grievances.

And Shen Shixing was very angry, in the eighth year of Wanli, the son of the cabinet minister could still be a jinshi, and even a flower, and in the eleventh year of Wanli, Zhang Siwei's son, and his son Shen Yongmao were a jinshi, and then a bunch of officials forced him.

In the fourteenth year of Wanli, there was no son of the cabinet minister to participate in the examination, okay, now in the sixteenth year of Wanli, he did not even let people be raised, and it was really Wang Xiaoer's New Year's Eve that was not as good as a year.

So in the future, will you not even be able to be a student, and then go down to pass the county test is cheating? Is it that the sons and sons-in-law of the ministers don't want to study, so it's easier to be a pig who eats and waits for death.

In order to vent their anger, they aimed their guns at Huang Hongxian, who presided over the township test, and Wu Shilai, the imperial history of the left capital, who reviewed it.

Wu Shilai, the left capital who opened his eyes and said nonsense, was impeached more than a dozen times in a row.

And Shen Shixing also instructed the speaker to attack Gao Gui.

These things happened within two months of Lin Yanchao's illness.

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were busy impeaching Zhang Whale, or they were forced to force the Son of Heaven to resign from office, and no one could ignore this political struggle, and any official above the third rank must express his position.

After the re-examination of the Ministry of Rites, the cabinet was extremely dissatisfied with Yu Shenxing, Gao Gui, and Yu Kongjian.

If Lin Yanchao was in the Ministry of Rites at this time, I am afraid that he would have to stand in line between Shen Xing and Shen Shixing and express a position, but he was not there.

Now Lin Yanchao claims that he is sick at home, making tea with wolfberries all day long, and spending a very quiet time with his wife and children.

And because Lin Yanchao is healthy at home, not only Zhang Whale's matter has nothing to do with him, but the fraud case of the Shuntian Imperial Examination has nothing to do with him, and no one from the Lin Party in the court is negligent, nor is he on anyone's side.

Lin Yanchao stopped anyone's visit and continued to live at home without asking about the world, thus avoiding this big turmoil.

At the end of the sixteenth year of Wanli, heavy snow covered the capital division.

On the streets of Jingshi, officers and soldiers dragged the frozen corpses of beggars from the ditches one by one, piled them on the side of the road, and then loaded them into carts and transported them outside the city for burial.

In the sedan chair, Shen Shixing saw this scene from the sedan curtain.

Shen Shixing coughed a few times, he has been sleeping hard at night recently, maybe because of his age, or because of the things in the court.

Shen Shixing closed his eyes and recuperated, and at this time he suddenly heard a noise in front of him, so he opened his eyes and asked, "What's going on?" ”

Shen Jiu said on the side: "It's a few beggars who don't know the master who are blocking the way, and now they are being taught a lesson by Shen Li." ”

"Stop the car!"

Shen Shixing stopped the sedan chair with a word, the officers and soldiers closed the road in front and back, and several servants of the Shen Mansion immediately picked up brooms and stepped forward to clean up the snow on the road, and Shen Shixing's official boots were spotless and walked to the side of several beggars who were being whipped by the Shen Mansion Nursing Hospital.

"Stop! Let them get up and ask questions. ”

Several beggars were no more than fifteen or sixteen years old, shivering in the snow in tattered single clothes, Shen Shixing saw no pity, and immediately ordered: "One person will give a winter coat!" ”

"Thank you, thank you, thank you." Several beggars prostrate.

Shen Shixing asked gently, "Where are you from?" ”

"Hejian people."

"Why did you escape?"

"The family has been affected, there is no harvest in the fields, people are almost starving to death, I heard that there are many kind-hearted people in the capital, there will be a way to live."

When Shen Shixing heard this, he asked, "Didn't the relief grain allocated by the imperial court to Hejian go down?" ”

"Wherever there is any relief food, it is all greedy for the officials, and we ordinary people have not seen half a grain of grain."

Shen Shixing's expression turned cold when he heard this, and he said to Shen Jiu: "Did you hear that?" ”

Shen Jiu said: "Hearing it, the villain immediately went to investigate." ”

Shen Shixing pinched his beard and sighed: "Cha? Has the old man been too tolerant in power in recent years? The officials below are so bold! Turning a deaf ear to the old man's orders? Hundreds of thousands of hungry people do not have a single grain in their stomachs, and such a big matter actually depends on a few beggars to report to me, the governor, the political envoy, and the inspector where has gone? ”

Shen Jiu said: "The old man is benevolent, most of the officials still know how to be grateful, but it is inevitable that there will be one or two small nights, and the punishment will be." ”

Shen Shixing said: "I hope so, the matter of Hejian Mansion will come to report to me when it is confirmed." ”

"Take some money to these beggars, and inform Shuntianfu Yin Tian that it is cold, and take in the homeless people and beggars on the street."

After saying that, Shen Shixing returned to the sedan chair, and several beggars kowtowed again and again.

The sedan chair continued to move forward, and soon Shen Jiu said on the side of the sedan chair: "Zhu Geng, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, is on the street in front of him!" ”

"You don't have to stay, you go and send him away."

Shen Jiu was stunned, and Shen Shixing said: "This time in the Shuntian Township Test, if it weren't for Zhu Shanyin's sudden illness, it would not be Yu Shenxing's turn to preside over this matter, if Zhu Shanyin is in the Ministry of Rites, even if Gao Gui and Yu Kong are given ten guts, they don't dare to be so presumptuous, it's good now." This Zhu Shanyin hides when he encounters trouble, and it is the right thing to do for personal gain, so even if a person is ten times more respectful to the old man, what is the use! ”

At that moment, Shen Shixing's sedan chair passed in front of Zhu Geng, Zhu Geng was dressed in the official robe of the second-grade Shangshu, neatly dressed and stood respectfully on the side of the road with dozens of people, and then watched Shen Shixing's sedan chair pass in front of him, and he didn't stop for a moment, and he was suddenly confused.

Then Shen Jiu stepped forward and said a few words, and casually found a reason to explain. Zhu Geng broke out in a cold sweat.

After walking for a while, Shen Shixing opened the sedan curtain and saw that Shen Jiu had caught up, so he asked: "Why has the tide been delayed for so long, and there has been no trip?" ”

Shen Jiu next to the sedan chair smiled and said: "Master, you are really a noble person who forgets things, Lin Zongbo said that he was sick and recuperated at home, and it has been two months." You also sent me to visit you. ”

Shen Shixing nodded and said, "I remember, it's been two months, why has he been sick for so long." If he had been in the Ministry of Rites this time, it would never have been like this. Is he getting better now? ”

Shen Jiu thought for a while and said, "The last time I went......"

Shen Shixing said: "Needless to say, immediately transfer to his house, and the old man will visit him." ”

Shen Jiu immediately said yes.

The snow in the capital fell again, and the sedan chair of Shen Shi walked forward on the street of Jingshi in front of the hug, and when it came to a street corner, the people and horses suddenly turned left on the road, and then went straight to Lin Yanchao's mansion.
