Shen Shixing's sedan chair went up to Lin Mansion to a short distance and fell far away.

Shen Jiu walked towards the Lin Mansion from the road with Shen Shixing in his arms, followed by only two entourage.

Although it had snowed heavily, the snow on the roads around the Lin Mansion had been swept away early. Shen Shi walked a few steps, and saw that what should be the family of the Lin Mansion was holding a broom and was cleaning the streets, not only in front of their own house, but also in front of the neighbors on the left and right.

When he came to the gate of the Lin Mansion, Shen Jiu went to report, and Shen Jiu, the subordinate of the mansion, took the post.

As the prime minister, how could Shen Shixing personally come to the door to deliver the post to someone, except for the emperor, no one dared to accept it.

Shen Jiu then handed over his post, and then Menzi went to report it, and asked Shen Shixing to wait in the living room.

Shen Shixing walked into the living room, admired the scenery left and right, and the accompanying doorman looked at it and thought, the officials who came to the house to pay homage to their lord were somewhat restrained, this lord seemed to have come to his own home, but looking at his bearing, I am afraid that this official should be not small.

So this disciple was respectful again and again, but Shen Shixing was a little impressed, thinking that Lin Yanchao would discipline the people in the house very well.

After a while, I saw Lin Yanchao hurrying to the living room.

Shen Shixing asked Shen Jiu: "The last time you came to visit, did Zong Hai personally greet you?" ”

Shen Jiu said: "That's not true, it was received by Steward Chen of the Lin Mansion." ”

Shen Shixing nodded, what he just handed over was Shen Jiu's post, if Lin Yanchao saw Shen Jiu's post and deigned to greet him, then there would be too many meanings behind it.

But after seeing Lin Yanchao entering, he saluted to Shen Shi: "The student greets the teacher." ”

Shen Shixing helped Lin Yanchao up and said with a smile: "I thought you were sick, so I didn't alarm you, so I used Shen Jiu's post, but you still came out." ”

Lin Yanchao said with a smile: "The student is also a coincidence, if it wasn't for the subordinate to mention it one more sentence, it would be negligent, if it really didn't greet it in person, then the student would be rude." This living room is very cold, and I ask the teacher to move to the warm pavilion. ”

Shen Shixing and Lin Yanchao arrived at the Warm Pavilion at the moment, and the Earth Dragon was only passed in the Warm Pavilion, and it was not very warm.

The subordinates immediately served Shen Shixing a hand stove and served a soup to ward off the cold.

Shen Shixing nodded and said, "The subordinates in your mansion are well disciplined. ”

"The old man has always believed in the way of the Qi family, if an official's wife and concubine compete for favor all day long, the slave in the subordinate is a big bully, or he is not in harmony with his neighbors all day long."

"At such a level, it is really difficult for the imperial court to entrust this official to manage the place or act as an acting yamen. Even if this official is really capable, but his family is not harmonious, how can he have the heart to focus on official affairs? Home and everything can be prosperous. ”

Lin Yanchao said: "The teacher praised it falsely. ”

"Are you getting better?"

Lin Yanchao said: "Teacher Lao asked, students were often dizzy two months ago, but they are usually fine, but once they get sick, their vision rotates, and they can't stop closing their eyes. The doctor said that the student is not enough in the marrow, so the brain turns to tinnitus, and the student should not be worried and sad, and must stay in bed to recuperate, not to be controlled, and eat and drink on time every day for these two months, and sleep on time, which is a little less. ”

Shen Shixing took a sip of hot soup and said: "Favor the senior doctor in the house, and let them check the pulse of Zong Hai, otherwise I will use my post to invite the imperial doctor of the Tai Hospital." ”

After listening to Shen Shixing's words, Lin Yanchao thought to himself that if he really invited someone to come, he hadn't debunked the diorama. Shen Shixing's hand can be described as a special treatment of 'pretending to be sick'.

Lin Yanchao immediately said: "Teacher Lao is bothered, and the students will pay for it for a few more days." ”

Shen Shixing said with a smile: "The body is a big deal, you can't be sloppy." ”

Lin Yanchao said: "Students can save it." ”

Shen Jiu said at this moment: "Worry can hurt the spirit, too much work can also hurt the spirit, Lin Zongbo will definitely be able to heal after a while, but in the past few months, has Lin Zongbo heard about it?" ”

Lin Yanchao said: "The people below don't dare to tell me, for fear of disturbing the condition, but occasionally students come to visit, so I still know a little bit from him." ”

Shen Shixing said bluntly: "Today, the old man came to your house, firstly, to visit your condition, and secondly, to ask you to go out of the mountain to help the old man, but now that your illness has not recovered, then it is worthwhile to consult one or two for the old man." ”

Today's prime minister comes to you for advice, this force can be pretended.

Lin Yanchao said in a panic: "Why did the teacher say this? Under the teacher's word, the student is willing to serve. ”

Shen Shixing nodded and said: "The old man said bluntly, the matter of the Beichang Township Test has been in an uproar, Zhu Shaoqin has been in the ministry for a long time, and Zuo Shilang Yu Keyuan has an ambiguous attitude, so Gao Gui has crossed the ranks, and now there is an impeachment chapter pointing to Wu Duxian every day, Wu Duxian was forced to resign, although the old man suppressed his resignation, but it was not a way for a long time. ”

Shen Jiudao: "Zuodu Yushi is one of the Seven Qings, and he is in charge of the platform, once the general constitution is forced to resign in this turmoil, it will be like cutting off the master's right-hand man." ”

Lin Yanchao thought about it, and didn't answer in a hurry, Shen Shixing immediately said: "Zong Hai, what do you think about this matter?" ”

Then Shen Shixing said: "Don't have scruples, just speak out." ”

Lin Yanchao thought about it, how could he make this trip to the troubled waters, and not let Shen Shixing feel that he was perfunctory.

Shen Jiudao: "It would be good if Lin Zongbo was in the ministry, and with Lin Zongbo here, he would definitely be able to suppress Gao Gui and Yu Kong." ”

Shen Jiu let himself go back to the ministry to fight with Yu Shenxing, where was Lin Yanchao willing to say immediately: "Teacher, no matter whether the student is in the ministry or not, things will not be much different. According to the student's humble opinion, Gao Gui dared to overstep the waiter in the township test case, and Wu Zongxian's performance of this matter must not be done casually, because this overstepping the level is a taboo in the officialdom. ”

"One is the imperial history of the Zuodu, and the other is the Langzhong of the Ministry of Rites, generally speaking, it is impossible for the imperial court to easily dismiss a second-rank official for the sake of the performance of the fifth-rank official. But the Son of Heaven did not take the common way and cultivated a few thorns in the speech officials, with the intention of balancing the ministers, so the Son of Heaven also used these speech officials as guns. ”

Shen Shixing nodded when he heard this: "Those who go down with their hands, those who have no plans, those who respond without thinking, the way to defeat, these people in the court have been officials for so many years, which one is a stupid person, these rules and regulations seem to be straightforward, which one is not with ulterior motives." ”

Shen Jiu also said: "What Yuan Fu said is extremely true, as the so-called Mo Xin is straight and straight, you must guard against benevolence or injustice." No matter how reasonable it is, it is also unreasonable, destroying the rules of the imperial court and damaging the majesty of Yuansuke. ”

Shen Shixing nodded and looked at Lin Yanchao and asked, "Then Gao Gui should be severely punished first?" Will this be criticized by the officials of the DPRK and China, and how about the officials of the DPRK and China to protect Gao Gui? ”

Lin Yanchao smiled and said, "We just want them to be like this." ”

Shen Shixing said: "This makes the old man not understand. ”

Lin Yanchao said: "The teacher severely punished Gao Gui, so the officials will inevitably attack him, so the teacher just took advantage of the situation to resign again." This time the rhetoric was different from the last one. ”

"The last time the teacher resigned, it was just one person, but this time Wang Ge was worried at home, and said that he did not want to return to the court, and secondly, Wang Taicang Wang Xianggong was angry about his son as the head, but was degraded by Gao Gui to be worthless, and he must advance and retreat together with the teacher in this matter, and the third next year will be the test soon, Xu Ge Lao will be assigned to preside over the test, and then there will be no one in the cabinet to do ......"

Shen Shixing nodded, it is not difficult to resign, but it is difficult to find a suitable reason.

Last time, the Son of Heaven asked the court staff to speak to the official Ma Xiangqian, and handed it over to the Zhenfu Division for torture, which is a suitable reason.

The Son of Heaven can be an official in the court, or he can be tortured by the Zhenfu Division, but he can't be beaten and asked, and asking again after the fight breaks the rules of the court, which is also something that the Ming Dynasty has not had for hundreds of years.

He, Wang Xijue, and Xu Guo came forward to protect it, and if they didn't do it, they would be scolded to death, so there was no need for Shen Shixing and Xu Guo, Wang Xijue took the initiative to find out about this matter.

The collective resignation of the cabinet was also a matter of a few days, which immediately made the Son of Heaven panic

Since this set has been proved to be effective, the old trick can be repeated, because Wang Jiaping will not be able to return to the court for a while, Xu Guo is about to preside over the examination, and Wang Xijue and Shen Shixing are also taking the blame now.

If he resigns because of this matter, the Son of Heaven will definitely not be able to divide and win over the cabinet.

The resignation of one or two cabinets is insignificant to the Son of Heaven, and it can even be pulled one to fight the other, but if you resign together, the Son of Heaven will not be soft in a few days.

Shen Jiu said: "Yuan Fu, the villain also thought that this strategy was feasible, deliberately angered the official, and then used the impeachment seal of the official to resign, and finally became the cabinet without an agent...... It doesn't matter if you don't quit, the main thing is when to quit, this move seems to be involuntary, but in fact, everything is under control. ”

Shen Shixing glanced at Lin Yanchao, then nodded and said, "Good." ”

Lin Yanchao said again: "Actually, the teacher, this is just a small skill of carving insects, the beginning and end of this North Field matter is still in the matter of Zhang Whale, at the moment the Son of Heaven and the official are in a dilemma, in fact, it is still because Zhang Whale's matter has not reached their original intention, so as long as the teacher completes the matter of Zhang Whale, both the Son of Heaven and the official will be convenient, this is the final solution." ”

Shen Shixing said: "Every word you say is being cleaned up, the old man is very pleased, this trip is not wrong, and you are the only one among the protégés who is willing to do so much for the old man, it is really not easy." ”

Lin Yanchao said: "This is what students should do. ”

Shen Shixing nodded, and immediately got up to leave, Lin Yanchao also got up to see him off, and when he arrived at the door, Shen Shixing said: "Zong Hai, if you are better, go back to the office to take care of things, the court can't do without you, and the old man can't do without your help." ”

Lin Yanchao hesitated when he heard this, he was expecting to use this time to call his illness in exchange for some kind of promise in Shen Shixing's mouth.

But Shen Shixing was clearly not prepared to bring it up.

So does Lin Yanchao want to accept Shen Shixing's invitation?

Think about it as Shen Shixing, deigning to come to his house in person, although this is very face-saving, but there is no practical benefit. However, since it is face, I must give it myself, and as for the conditions, I can talk about it later.

What's more, the big turmoil in the court has passed, and it is not interesting to lie dormant at home, it is better to go out of the mountain.

After thinking about it, Lin Yanchao finally said: "Yes, the students will be sparse in the past few days. ”
