Just when Guo Zhengyu's recital was copied through the residence of the General Administration Division, it spread throughout the major yamen of the Beijing Division.

There are undercurrents surging in the yamen.

If public opinion can't come from the people, why can't it come from the temple?

Even if the public opinion can come from the science and the road, then it can not also come from the ministry.

Lu Chengyi felt that he was a clear-eyed person, but of course the officials of the various yamen did not feel that they were fools.

So the yamen were sparse, and implored the Son of Heaven to order the opening of the newspaper ban, and the various yamen of the imperial court independently ran the newspaper.

Lin Yanchao used the power of public opinion to help the Son of Heaven exclude the Queen Mother from the center of power, which made a deep impression on everyone. If you can manipulate this weapon of public opinion in your own hands, then you will have room to compete with words.

Guo Zhengyu's negligence suddenly caused ups and downs in the capital.

And at this very moment.

Lin Yanchao, who was idle at home, was sitting and watching the wind and clouds in the court, this was the fifteenth year of Wanli, and mentioning this year couldn't help but remind Lin Yanchao of Huang Renyu.

In Huang Renyu's book, when today's son has not been exempted from the government, but now it has been nearly a year since the dynasty, which makes Lin Yanchao wonder if it is his own appearance that has made the situation worse.

And right in front of the gate of the Lin Mansion.

The two men of the Lin Mansion were sitting on the benches by the door chatting, when they saw several carriages stopped in front of the mansion gate, and a person got out of the carriage.

A doorman stepped forward and said, "I'm sorry for this lord, our lord is not a guest today." ”

The man was thirty or forty years old and had no beard, but he didn't know much about what the two of them said, and just asked, "This is Master Lin's mansion?" ”

The servant said with some pride: "It's the Bachelor's Mansion." ”

"Is your master at home?"

"This ...... Our lord is at home, but he doesn't see any guests today. ”

The man nodded and said, "Call your butler Chen Jichuan." ”

The man was stunned, but when he saw that the other party was extraordinary, he immediately went back to pray.

At this moment, Chen Jichuan was settling accounts in the house, and at this time, he listened to Menzi's advice, and continued to calculate without raising his head: "It seems that what is the way to come?" ”

Menzi replied, "The face is very white, the voice is a little sharp, and there is no beard......"

Chen Jichuan paused with his hand and asked, "It's from the palace?" ”

"I'm not sure, why don't Chen Ye go out and have a look?"

Chen Jichuan was about to get up when he heard this, but saw a person at the door break in.

After Chen Jichuan went up to see the other party clearly, he lost his voice and said, "Father-in-law Chen? ”

The other party was Chen Ju, who had been to Guide back then, and the other party nodded and said, "Where is your master?" ”

"Being...... It's by the fish pond, so I'm going to tell you. ”

The other party waved his hand and said, "You don't need to tell your master." ”

As he was talking, he saw someone pushing outside, it turned out that the person who came with Chen Ju wanted to break in but had a conflict with the family of the Lin Mansion.

Many of the family members in this Lin Mansion are retired veterans of the Yu family's army, and they will not fall behind when they collide with each other.

Chen Ju smiled and said, "There are two times." ”

At this moment, Lin Yanchao was wearing a blue shirt, which was the clothes he wore when he was a student, sitting alone in front of the fish pond at home to watch the fish, occasionally grabbing a handful of fish food from his net pocket and throwing it into the fish pond.

At this moment, someone behind him said: "Mr. Lin, I'm so interested!" ”

Lin Yanchao frowned slightly, when he was meditating by the fish pond, he hated being disturbed the most, and the people in the family knew very well who was disturbing his Yaxing.

Lin Yanchao turned his head, but saw that Chen Ju was standing behind him at some point, and looked at him with a smile.

Lin Yanchao was taken aback, and immediately said, "When did Gonggong Chen come?" ”

Chen Ju said with a smile: "Just arrived, Mr. Lin is sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai. ”

Lin Yanchao smiled, and was surprised in his heart, why didn't Chen Ju report his subordinates when he came?

But seeing Chen Jichuan, Zhanming and the others followed behind Chen Ju without saying a word.

But seeing Chen Ju said: "Don't be surprised, it's me who doesn't let them tell me." ”

Then Chen Ju said in a low voice: "Your Majesty is here, and he is in your mansion." ”

Lin Yanchao was taken aback, and then said solemnly: "Then I'll change my clothes and see you immediately!" ”

"No need, Mr. Lin, please come with me."

The sudden visit of the Son of Heaven made Lin Yanchao's spirit tense.

So Chen Ju led the way in front, but saw that there were people guarding all the way, and these people were all wearing the clothes of ordinary people, but it could be guessed that these people were all palace guards.

If you say that the last time the Son of Heaven came to his house, it was a guest, but this time it was a bit of a surprise inspection.

Lin Yanchao walked to the hall with Chen Ju, and saw a sedan chair in the hall, and an obese man sat on the sedan chair.

This sedan chair was originally wide, but it was barely suitable for the other party to sit on it.

Lin Yanchao was also a little distracted, he hadn't seen him for more than half a year, and the Son of Heaven was actually ...... Fat like this!

Could this be the legendary middle-aged fortune?

Or is it natural fertilizer deep in the house?

The belly of the Son of Heaven deliberately has to be held by one person to stand up.

Lin Yanchao fixed his mind and said: "Minister Lin Yanchao knocks to see Your Majesty, and bows to your majesty." ”

The two palace people fanned the Son of Heaven behind his back, but sweat was still dripping from the Son of Heaven's cheeks.

"Lin Qing is flat."

Lin Yanchao got up and glanced at the Son of Heaven, and then said, "Your Majesty deigned to come to the cold house, and the minister was really frightened. ”

The Son of Heaven didn't say anything, but said: "I haven't been out of the palace for a year, and today I came out to visit the old ministers, this is your newly bought mansion?" ”

Lao Chen??? However, he has been a close minister of the Son of Heaven for almost eight years.

Lin Yanchao said at the moment: "It's the mansion that the minister just bought." ”

The Son of Heaven nodded and said, "It's built in imitation of the Jiangnan Garden, it's very good, it's just a little smaller." ”

Lin Yanchao said cautiously: "Although the grass house is small, it is enough for the minister's family to shelter from the wind and rain." ”

The Son of Heaven praised: "The garden is exquisite, although it is narrow, but it is also the identity of you as an important minister." Lin Qing, the robe on your body is very old, when will you wear it? ”

Lin Yanchao replied: "It was made by his wife when he was in school. ”

"How old is Lin Qing going to school?"

"Thirteen."

The Son of Heaven was surprised: "It's been on your body for more than ten years, don't you have a decent robe on weekdays?" ”

Lin Yanchao said: "Please forgive Your Majesty for being rude, I don't have time to change my clothes in a hurry." When the minister sits in the court on weekdays, there is a new court official robe, but it is casual at home, although the clothes are old, but the clothes are still fitting, and the minister's wife has been sewing and mending for many years, but it can also be worn. The most important thing is that the clothes are worn for a long time and are easy to wear! ”

Hearing this, the Son of Heaven smiled and said to Chen Ju on the side: "How do you say a sentence?" There is a saying that people are not as good as the old, and clothes are not as good as the new, and it seems that the second half of the sentence is not right. ”

Chen Ju is also laughing.

Chen Ju also knew that the minister was very taboo for the Son of Heaven to come to the house.

This house is prosperous, and it is not dilapidated.

In order to show their integrity, many officials in the capital learned from Hai Rui and deliberately lived in a poor alley and a humble room to gain a clear name.

And some officials are not afraid of boiling water, and the place where they stay is as magnificent as it can be repaired.

In comparison, Lin Yanchao is very real.

But seeing that the Son of Heaven recited the words 'people are not as good as the old' several times.

At this time, the internal supervisor served tea to the Son of Heaven, and the Son of Heaven said: "In the past few years, too many ministers in the court have withered, and it is difficult to know the root of the new ones. You have served me for many years, why didn't you consider the holy will and resigned as the master of the East Palace? ”

Lin Yanchao opened his mouth and said: "The ministers are sparse and shallow......

The Son of Heaven interrupted: "There is no need to say clichés, I want to listen to your heart." ”

Lin Yanchao paused and then said: "Your Majesty, it is the bottom of the minister's heart to be a shallow learner. ”

The Son of Heaven frowned and said, "Why is my prince not worthy of your teaching?" ”

"Your Majesty...... The minister did not know His Majesty's mind. ”

"What's in mind?"

The Son of Heaven saw that Lin Yanchao didn't say anything, so he motioned for the left and right people to withdraw, leaving a Chen Ju by his side.

Lin Yanchao still didn't say a word.

The Son of Heaven shook his head, then glanced at Chen Ju, and Chen Ju left.

"Say it!"

Lin Yanchao said: "Your Majesty has forgotten the minister's original advice?" Please Your Majesty, don't make a prince early. ”

The Son of Heaven laughed and said, "I remember, but I changed my mind. ”

Lin Yanchao said: "Your Majesty, whether you want to make the emperor's son or the third prince the prince, it is undoubtedly too early. If the East Palace is established, it will inevitably divide His Majesty's authority. ”

When the Son of Heaven heard this, he said whimsically: "In your opinion, how about the third son of the emperor?" ”

Lin Yanchao jumped over the pit and said: "The ministers dare not discuss the matter of establishing a prince, and Your Majesty does not need to discuss with any ministers. ”

The Son of Heaven said: "But why did Mr. Shen and the hundred officials want to establish the eldest son of the emperor? ”

Lin Yanchao replied: "It is the ancestral family law to establish a successor. ”

"Then Aiqing belongs to the emperor?"

Lin Yanchao said: "The minister doesn't dare to discuss it, the minister only implores His Majesty to make the prince later." ”

"Please make the prince late? But I have already decided that you will be the master of the East Palace, teaching the prince. You can also see my body, now not only is my leg sick, but also walking a few steps, that is, the asthma is unsustainable, in the past, I was reluctant to establish a prince because I did not want the ministers to discuss the country's capital, but now I have to consider the time for the East Palace. ”

When Lin Yanchao heard this, he looked at the Son of Heaven with a pang in his heart, and then lowered his head and said: "Your Majesty is in good health and enjoys sitting in the country for ten thousand years. ”

The Son of Heaven sighed: "Throughout the ages, those who can use people can be the heroes, I like to read the things of Han Gaozu and Song Gaozu on weekdays, these two emperors are all because of people." At present, I am uncertain, so I have tried my best to choose a suitable Donggong teacher for the prince to assist him in how to govern the world. ”

"As the emperor's teacher, the prince's master is what every scholar dreams of in his heart, this is the honor of the minister, but why did Lin Qing refuse to be thousands of miles away? I deigned to come to you today, and asked you to go out of the mountain to serve as the master of the East Palace, I have enough sincerity, and now I ask you one last time, are you willing? ”

Lin Yanchao said resolutely: "The minister is dull and can't shoulder the responsibility of teaching the prince, and he must be entrusted with it." The minister is the three elements appointed by His Majesty, and he should be loyal to His Majesty, which is a son of heaven and a courtier. The crown prince will be the honor of all vehicles in the future, why worry about no one to assist, this matter has never been considered by the minister, I implore Your Majesty to choose another virtuous! ”

The two of them froze there.

Time also stood still at that moment.

Lin Yanchao felt that Rumang was on his back, but he had already made up his mind in his heart, and his mouth was tightly closed.

After half a ring, the Son of Heaven said slowly: "Once the Son of Heaven and a courtier, Lin Qing, you really did not live up to my trust!" ”
