Dongchang, also known as Dongjishi Factory, has always been a majestic existence for civil and military officials in the Ming Dynasty.

The power of Dongchang has reached its peak in the hands of Liu Jin and Wei Zhongxian.

There is a record in the Ming people's notes, which says that there were five people living in the capital, one of them was drunk and scolded Wei Zhongxian, and the other four were so frightened that they advised him not to talk nonsense.

The man sneered, although Wei Zhongxian is powerful, but he is not here, can he still skin me?

After a while, the people from the East Factory rushed in and took all five of them to the East Factory. Wei Zhongxian, who was loyal on the outside, smiled and said to the person who scolded him, didn't you say that I can skin you?

As a result, this person was really skinned by Wei Zhongxian, and the other four people were so frightened that they couldn't possess their bodies, Wei Zhongxian laughed when he saw it, and one of them gave a reward of five taels of silver to suppress the shock.

The great power of the East Factory can be seen from this.

However, Dongchang has not always been such a dick, when Lu Bing was strong, Dongchang was a fart, and it was Jinyiwei who was powerful at that time.

Therefore, when the 'factory guard' is powerful or not, it mainly depends on how much power the Son of Heaven is willing to give him!

Now the fans of the East Factory are all served by Jin Yiwei, and the head of the East Factory is called the Governor of the Qincha East Factory Official School Office Temple.

Now Lin Yanchao is standing at the gate of Dongchang, his subordinates beat the fans of Dongchang, for the fans of Dongchang, when did they suffer such a great shame, even if you are a dignified scholar, but you can't do it.

In front of hundreds of fans in our East Factory, you are only two or three people, are you all dead people? What's more, the other party wants to turn Dongchang upside down, which is simply too arrogant.

There are some people who are 'bloody', not to mention that you are a scholar, but when they want to rush up, they are stopped by others.

"Don't want to die?"

"What are you afraid of! I exchange my life for my life! ”

"Are you going to drag the whole factory to die with you?"

"Why?"

"That's Lin Sanyuan!"

Lin Yanchao's gaze swept over, and the fans present all subconsciously avoided it.

"One!"

Lin Yanchao stretched out a finger, and the cold voice echoed at the door of the Dongchang Yamen.

Captain Fanzi, who had just been knocked out of his teeth, twitched a few times on his face, and his face turned pale. He thought to himself, if he is not so domineering, this person is still a civil official, and he will not open the East Factory in the future. If Lin Yanchao is kind to talk, he may be able to accommodate, but he can't open the door now, otherwise Zhang Whale will be the first to kill himself.

The other party was just about to speak.

"Two!"

Lin Yanchao's voice was not very harsh, and the captain saw his expression, and then said, "Lin Butang is really a great official!" However, it doesn't hurt to put the official authority of the Lin Department in the same hall, and it doesn't hurt to put it in the Ministry of Rites, but this is the East Factory, and we have only one master in the East Factory, and that is the current saint! You ministers have no right to drink and make us wait. ”

"Three!"

The lieutenant said arrogantly: "Lin Butang, your set is useless, I have seen a lot of such methods, even if you count to a hundred, it is useless!" Besides, the Overseer is not there. ”

"Nine!"

"Lin Butang!" The lieutenant threatened.

"Ten!"

Lin Yanchao didn't have a majority of 100 million euros at all, but said calmly: "It seems that I have counted in vain, and I have really delayed a lot of effort." ”

Captain Dongchang: "What are you going to do in Lin Butang?" ”

Lin Yanchao said: "Today's matter should be solved by the headquarters, I came here just to give you the governor a step, you go back and tell Zhang Whale, let him wait for me!" ”

After Lin Yanchao finished speaking, he immediately turned around and left.

The captain of Dongchang already regretted it in his heart at the moment, and the other party simply did not hesitate at all, this was not just a verbal threat.

But the other fans didn't think of this, they saw Lin Yanchao at the beginning, and the situation was as if he was going to demolish the East Factory, but when they saw him in front of the door from one to ten and then turned around and left, they didn't see him move.

This scene is very contrasting, and it is a bit anticlimactic.

So some people laughed.

"I know that these literati can only kill people verbally, and they really don't dare to do it at all."

"Who wouldn't bluff! What if Lin Sanyuan is counted to 11 thousand? ”

"One moment shouting, shouting, killing, the next moment, let's fight, kill! Hahaha! I died laughing. ”

The laughter came from behind to Lin Yanchao's ears. Lin Yanchao's footsteps paused when he heard this, Zhanming was already furious, Lin Yanchao had never been ridiculed like this since he became the minister.

Lin Yanchao remained silent and immediately said: "Go back to the government immediately, and send a letter to the Shen Mansion for me." ”

After speaking, Lin Yanchao took out a letter from his sleeve and gave it to Zhanming, and then took a sedan chair back to the yamen.

And at this moment, in the yamen of the Ministry of Rites, all the officials are looking forward to it.

But after seeing Lin Yanchao return to the ya, everyone greeted him: "How is Lin Butang?" ”

"Did you get people out?"

"Is Dongchang willing to release people?"

But seeing Lin Yanchao arching his hand in all directions, he said: "Lin Mou returned empty-handed, which really disappointed you!" ”

"How is this possible? Even Lin Butang didn't ask for people back? The crowd wondered.

"And who else can save people?"

But seeing Lin Yanchao's guilty look, Chen Jichuan said indignantly: "Yes, the people in Dongchang are really too deceitful, my family invited Zhang Whale to see them, but they not only didn't let them see them, but they also spoke disrespectfully, and didn't take our officials seriously at all." ”

"Even our old man Dongchang is still like this, I don't know what happened to those detained lifters?"

Lin Yanchao waved his hand and said, "Don't say it." ”

At this time, Zhao Nanxing got up angrily and said, "Let's go, let's go to the imperial city to cry!" I don't believe that Zhang Whale will cover the sky with one hand! ”

As soon as Zhao Nanxing came out, Yu Kongjian, Jiang Shichang, An Xifan and others all joined in groups.

And Yang Daobin and Yuan Zongdao also looked at Lin Yanchao, and Lin Yanchao said a word, and they went to knock together.

Lin Yanchao stood with his hands in his hands, but did not speak. Crying admonishment will definitely not work, taking down Zhang Whale is just a word from the emperor, and crying admonishment is a collective slap in the face of the emperor by hundreds of officials.

This is completely different from forcing the Queen Mother to return to power to the Son of Heaven.

When Lin Yanchao was silent, Zhao Nanxing urged: "Lord Ministry, everyone is waiting for you to show me." ”

Lin Yanchao secretly sighed that Zhao Nanxing's political experience was still a little worse, although he was very appealing among officials.

Lin Yanchao immediately said: "We don't know if Zhang Whale is isolated from the inside and outside, whether we can see the Son of Heaven, if we knock on the que, and are blinded by Zhang Whale and others, then a communication is unclear, and no one explains it for us in front of the emperor, this move is a mess." ”

Zhao Nanxing wanted to speak and stopped, Lin Yanchao looked at him, he knew that there was a big man in the palace to replace Gu Xiancheng, and Zhao Nanxing supported him, so they were not afraid that no one would explain for him.

But it was not good for him to make it clear to Lin Yanchao about this matter, colluding with internal officials was a very despicable thing after all.

At this time, Jiang Shichang coughed and glanced at An Xifan.

An Xifan stepped forward and said anxiously: "Teacher, my eyebrows are burning right now." Students are not afraid of death, students are willing to knock on the que! ”

Lin Yanchao said lightly: "Don't you understand my words?" ”

As soon as Lin Yanchao said this, An Xifan's face suddenly felt ashamed, and he stepped aside and didn't dare to say anything more.

Jiang Shichang, Yu Kong saw that An Xifan was persuaded to retreat by Lin Yanchao, and everyone didn't dare to say any more, the members of the Donglin Party in the hall were silent, and Yuan Zongdao They were all Lin Yanchao's henchmen, without Lin Yanchao, they wouldn't say a word.

Now Lin Yanchao is sitting in the hall, and everyone doesn't know what kind of medicine he sells in his gourd, so they can only sit with him. It turned out that a group of people who were noisy and shouting, but under Lin Yanchao's few words, they all shut up.

The current court of the Ministry of Rites is strangely calm, and no one dares to say a word, not even whispering.

After a while, Zhanming had already arrived in front of everyone's eyes and handed Lin Yanchao a small note.

Everyone stretched out their heads, thinking to themselves, could it be that Lin Yanchao was undecided, they were all waiting for this little note?

Lin Yanchao knew that this small note was given to him by Shen Shixing, so he picked up the small note and read it in the hall, then handed it to Xu Xianqing on the side, and said in a low voice: "Yuanfu's note." ”

Lin Yanchao's words were only heard by Xu Xianqing and Zhao Nanxing beside him.

After hearing this, the expressions of the two were all grim. Xu Xianqing heard that it was Shen Shixing's note, and respectfully took it and handed it back to Lin Yanchao, with a complicated look on his face.

Then Lin Yanchao handed it to Zhao Nanxing again.

Zhao Nanxing didn't expect Lin Yanchao to give Shen Shixing's note to himself, he picked it up and looked at it, and there was only a short sentence on the note: "Wu Dumen thank you, find Xu Ge Lao!" ’

Zhao Nanxing took the note and said: "Elder Xu Ge is clearly in the locked courtyard at the moment, and there are Jinyi guards around him, how can we get close?" ”

Lin Yanchao said: "No, Xu Ge Lao has been transferred to the Tribute Courtyard today, in addition to Zhengqing Zhu Butang, our Ministry of Rites will also have a banquet in the Tribute Courtyard in the evening. ”

Listening to Lin Yanchao's words, everyone's eyes lit up.

Yu Kong Jian and Jiang Shichang said together: "Lord Ministry, I'll go to the Gongyuan together and ask Elder Xu Ge to come forward!" ”

"If the elder comes forward, the Son of Heaven will definitely not blame."

After finishing speaking, everyone looked at Lin Yanchao, today's incident is a great turmoil, an accident can easily turn into a conflict between officials and the emperor, how to turn the danger into a disaster, how to turn the tide, all test an official's skill, as well as ordinary wisdom.

Lin Yanchao's face was a little pale, it was because he had been sick in the past few days, but his expression was calm, calm, and he walked quietly while pacing and thinking.

For Xu Xianqing and Zhao Nanxing, if they are in a position with Lin Yanchao, in the face of such a situation, it is fair to say that they are mostly helpless at this moment.

But seeing Lin Yanchao, he said: "Don't worry, wait a little longer!" ”

"Wait?"

"What are you waiting for?"

The official office was silent again, and Lin Yanchao was sitting in the hall, they didn't know what Lin Yanchao was thinking, and they didn't know what he was waiting for.

But they had to keep waiting.

After a while, at this time, the little official outside came and said: "Qi Qi Ministry, the envoy in the palace has arrived outside the door!" ”

The officials looked at each other, but they didn't know what was going on. How could the Son of Heaven send an envoy to the Ministry of Rites at this time.

"Who's coming?"

"The eunuch Sun Long."

Gao Huai turned out to be the palm seal of the capital governor, but after Gao Huai was demoted to Nanjing, Zhang Jing installed his own hands in the capital governor's prison.

And this Sun Long is Lin Yanchao's old acquaintance, and he is also Zhang Whale's henchman.

What did Sun Long do when he came to the Yamen of the Ministry of Rites at this time?

"Please!"

After Sun Long entered the lobby, he couldn't help but be surprised to see so many officials gathered together, and was about to ask a question, but he said to Lin Yanchao first: "What is the official business of Father-in-law Sun coming to the Ministry of Rites?" ”

Sun Long smiled and said, "Of course it's a holy order, Lin Butang, what are so many adults gathered here for?" ”

Lin Yanchao said: "Grandpa Sun, did the headquarters ask you, or did you ask the headquarters?" ”

Sun Long's expression couldn't hold back when he heard this, he glanced at Lin Yanchao, and slowly weakened and replied: "Lin Butang is so powerful, the Ministry of Rites has asked for the examiner's question book, Your Majesty has already approved it, and I also ask Lin Butang to summon all the candidates for the same examiner to go to the Tribute Academy with our family!" ”

After speaking, Sun Long presented the title book approved by the Son of Heaven, and Lin Yanchao said after reading it: "I'm afraid that this matter will not be able to be done by the Ministry of Heaven?" ”

"What? Lin Butang, please say it again! ”

"The headquarters can't do it!"

Sun Long said to the officials on all sides: "All the adults have heard that Lin Butang has openly violated the emperor's will, and I don't know who gave him the courage. ”

Lin Yanchao sneered: "The bold person is not the main department, but someone else,"

Sun Long sighed, flicked his sleeves and said, "Who is so bold as to dare to disobey His Majesty's holy order?" We ask Your Majesty to kill his head. ”

Lin Yanchao nodded and said to the officials: "Everyone, everyone has heard what Grandpa Sun said. ”

Xu Xianqing and the others all showed inexplicable smiles and echoed: "Back to the Lin Hall, I'll hear it." ”

Sun Long realized that something was wrong, and asked rhetorically, "Lin Butang, what's going on?" ”

Lin Yanchao said: "I was about to inform my father-in-law that the person who blocked the examination was none other than Zhang Whale, a person from Dongchang Temple, who was ordered to be the commander of the Imperial Order, and a fellow examiner invited by our Ministry of Rites was detained by Dongchang, and more than 20 candidates who also went to the examination were also detained in Dongchang. ”

"The Ministry of Rites sent people to the East Factory yesterday and today, but the East Factory did not reply, and even the cousins of the headquarters went and were ridiculed and returned. We gathered here, and were about to go to the Gongyuan to ask the chief examiner Xu Ge Lao to come forward to administer justice, and now that my father-in-law has invited the holy oracle to come, I just happened to go with us to see Xu Ge Lao and talk about this matter! ”

Sun Long was shocked, and immediately said: "How can this be, how can our family listen to you." Our family is the emperor's people. ”

Lin Yanchao walked up to Sun Long, grabbed his hand, and said coldly: "I'm afraid this can't tolerate you, Grandpa Sun." ”

Then Lin Yanchao said behind him: "Your Excellency, let's accompany Gonggong Sun to the Tribute Courtyard to ask Elder Xu Ge to uphold justice!" ”

Zhao Nanxing, Yuan Zongdao and others applauded.

Yuan Zongdao's admiration for Lin Yanchao at this moment in his heart is the five-body throw, what is strategizing, and the decisive victory is thousands of miles away.

Lin Yanchao's determination comes from his exhaustive strategy.

The holy order was not given, and they went to the tribute courtyard to be unjustifiable. Xu Guo can use the examiner avoidance system to avoid seeing anyone, and even if he does, he may not be willing to offend Zhang Whale for them.

But now that Lin Yanchao's holy order is in hand, it is different to go to the Gongyuan with so many officials. As for Sun Long, of course, he can't let him go, what if he leaves and lets him report to Zhang Whale?

Yuan Zongdao admired Lin Yanchao in his heart at this moment, and his heart was even more refreshing.

As for Zhao Nanxing, Yu Kong and the others also saw the power of Lin Yanchao's methods, and the other party controlled the situation in his hands without moving.
