I heard Sun Jigao say this.

Lin Yanchao was surprised: "I see, Brother Yide, you know my person, I have never liked publicity, and it is not my intention to come to the courtyard today." ”

Sun Jigao said with a smile: "I know Zonghai, you are not a person who recruits power and demonstrates, but sometimes things are not what you expected. But it's okay in this way, with Shen Siming and Wang Ge's support, I don't think anyone in the Han Courtyard will be embarrassed by you. ”

"Embarrassed? You mean the Bachelor? ”

Sun Jigao really admired Lin Yanchao's quick reaction, and he noticed it before he showed the slightest rumor.

Sun Jigao disguised: "How can I say that I am the master of the academy? Zhao Shuzi is what Zong Hai should be careful about. ”

Lin Yanchao said with a smile: "Brother Yide, if Zhao Shuzi wants to go against me, Brother Yide will only advise me to be careful." As for the entire Hanlin Academy, I am afraid that there is no second person except for the master of the academy. ”

Sun Jigao could only acquiesce: "If you really can't hide anything from Zong Hai, Master Guang is shrewd and strong, and he is easy to appoint private people." Zong Hai worked with him, did he think about how to deal with it? ”

Lin Yanchao pondered, thinking that it was really such an old and difficult problem as getting along with the first and second in command.

I got along very unharmoniously with the prefect in Guide Mansion back then, and finally tore my face. And Zhang Wei is a ruthless character from the introduction of Sun Jigao and the history books.

And today, Wang Jiaping came to congratulate, and his face must not be able to hang up.

When he was promoted to the head of the academy, no elder came to congratulate him, but Lin Yanchao was promoted to a bachelor, but a Wang Jiaping came.

What's more, he offended Zhang Juzheng back then, was demoted to a foreign official, and then went through a turnover, first appointed as a Beijing official, and then transferred back to the Hanlin Academy.

And he returned to the Hanlin Academy from the foreign official one step, where is his face?

Lin Yanchao said thoughtfully: "I understand, so Brother Yide, when I saw Shen Shaozai today, Wang Ge Lao came to the courtyard and thought it was to stand on the platform with me, so that I could fight against the head of the court?" ”

Sun Jigao was speechless for a while, and was caught on the spot, and said angrily: "Zong Hai, if you guess like this, then I can't accompany you." ”

Lin Yanchao hurriedly grabbed Sun Jigao and said with a smile: "Brother Yide, calm your anger, calm your anger, why don't I take it to the bottom of my heart with your kindness." Then I will make it clear to you today, since I am a bachelor, I just plan to do something for the court and the people, as for the rights and wrongs in the Hanlin Academy, I am not interested, let alone fight with the master of the academy. ”

Sun Jigao breathed a sigh of relief, nodded and said, "Zong Hai can be kind to others, and I am also relieved." Does Zong Hai want to ask someone to tell Master Guang through the news? ”

Lin Yanchao said with a smile: "Listen to me first, if Master Zhang bullies me, I won't bear it, the so-called gentleman is to go straight, where can I figure out what others mean in everything and give up my own ideas." ”

After leaving the teahouse, Lin Yanchao got into the carriage and thought a lot along the way.

Since the beginning of Longqing, fewer and fewer candidates for bachelor's degree in the cabinet have been appointed by the emperor, and more and more have been recommended by the incumbent cabinet scholars.

It can almost be regarded as a recommendation within the cabinet, such as several cabinet elders in Wanli years, such as Shen Shixing, Zhang Siwei, and Yu Youding, all of whom were recommended by Zhang Juzheng to enter the cabinet.

Wang Jiaping was recommended by Zhang Siwei.

Therefore, the incumbent cabinet ministers have a very important say in the replacement cabinet ministers. The advantage of this cabinet recommendation system is that it avoids the recurrence of the tragedy of the cabinet ministers killing each other during the Longwan period, such as Yan Song to Xia Yan, Xu Jie to Yan Song, and Zhang Juzheng to Gao Gong.

Therefore, the incumbent Cabinet Scholar and the First Cabinet have an important vote for the Cabinet Bachelor's Degree.

So for Lin Yanchao, if he wants to enter the cabinet in the future, he can't just expect Shen Shixing to give him a vote, and he must have a good relationship with the Hanlin Academy and the Hanlin Academy. Of course, competition is inevitable, but at least it can't be ugly.

Thinking of this, Lin Yanchao patted the carriage and said to Zhanming: "Go to Shenfu." ”

Zhan Ming in front of the carriage said: "Master, it's almost time to reach the Shen Mansion." ”

Lin Yanchao was surprised: "What did I tell you to go to the Shen Mansion?" ”

Zhan Ming said: "Master, didn't you encounter anything in the past, and you had to go to the Shen Mansion to ask for instructions first?" Today's master has just been promoted, and as usual, he must have gone to see Yuansuke! ”

Lin Yanchao: "I ......"

After arriving at the Shen Mansion, Shen Jiu was already at the gate to greet him, helping Lin Yanchao to get out of the carriage and said with a smile: "Today, Zong Hai is promoted to a bachelor, and there will be a lot of entertainment in the Hanlin Academy, I am estimating when you will arrive, and your carriage will arrive as soon as you arrive at the door." ”

Lin Yanchao listened to Shen Jiu's words, and glanced at Zhan Ming who was bolting the car on the side even more angrily.

Zhan Mingbao looked back with a sincere face.

What else could Lin Yanchao say, he reluctantly smiled with Shen Jiu: "Brother, you are really like a god!" ”

Shen Jiu smiled and said, "Eh, where do you want to guess this, you know it with your eyes closed." ”

Lin Yanchao glanced at Shen Jiu and said in his heart, you are also here to chill me?

The two came to the backyard of the Shen Mansion.

Shen Jiu whispered to Lin Yanchao: "Xiangye is talking with Zhang Zhangyuan, you can go in later!" ”

"Zhang Zhangyuan?" Lin Yanchao instantly understood something, and nodded suddenly.

Lin Yanchao walked to the courtyard and looked up to see Shen Shixing playing against Zhang Wei in the pavilion in the rockery.

Lin Yanchao wondered in his heart, it was almost December at this time, and the weather was very cold, why were the two old men still playing chess in the pavilion.

Shen Jiu stopped when he arrived at the rockery and pointed forward. Lin Yanchao walked along the stone path alone to the pavilion.

When Lin Yanchao arrived at the pavilion, he felt that the cold was gone, and he felt warm for a while, Lin Yanchao said in his heart, Shoufu will really enjoy it, this pavilion is actually through the earth dragon, no wonder it is so warm.

Lin Yanchao came to Shen Shixing's side silently and stood up, and first took a look at the situation on the chessboard.

But seeing that Shen Shixing had a clear advantage in holding black, he killed the white Zhang position.

Shen Shixing's chess skills Lin Yanchao knows that he is an amateur and is not very smart.

But Zhang Wei is like this, this sycophant is really shameless.

Seeing that Zhang Wei was falling into 'contemplation', Shen Shixing glanced at Lin Yanchao casually, and seemed to blame: "Yanchao, why did you arrive?" ”

Lin Yanchao immediately said: "Back to the teacher, the student is a new bachelor, and he has just arrived, so it is too late to be familiar with the Yamen case, and I ask the teacher to forgive me." ”

After listening to Lin Yanchao's words, Zhang Wei just rightly pushed the table to admit defeat, and then said with a smile: "Yuan Weng's chess skills are really unfathomable, and Xia Guan is a defeat, and he is convinced." ”

Shen Shixing pinched his beard and smiled.

When Zhang Wei saw Lin Yanchao, he immediately covered up for him and said: "Zong Hai is here, Qi Yuan Weng, it was the subordinates who asked Zong Hai to familiarize himself with the regulations of the bachelors, so he delayed." Blame me, blame me. ”

Lin Yanchao glanced at Zhang Wei 'gratefully', and accepted the favor by the way.

Shen Shixing nodded and said: "I see, Mingcheng, I won't tell you, my student is a handsome person, everything is good, but there is a little bit of self-control." You're going to have to mention him more in the future. ”

Lin Yanchao was surprised in his heart, and he could only give a look of surprise on his face.

Zhang Wei said cautiously: "Master Lin is the current Wenzong, and he is Yuan Weng's proud protégé, how dare the disciples mention it, in the future in Hanyuan, if I am not in the right place, please ask Master Lin to correct it in person." ”

"Eh, you are a jinshi in the second year of Longqing, and you have four subjects late in Yanchao, although you are both bachelors, but in terms of emotion and reason, he should praise you. Therefore, Yanchao, in the future, you don't have to make your own decisions, you need to ask the master for advice before making a decision. ”

Lin Yanchao thought to himself, Shen Shixing wanted to live under Zhang, although he was late in Zhang's four subjects, but his ranking in the imperial examination was higher than him, so he didn't have to rely on him.

If he is afraid of Zhang Wei, Lin Yanchao is conceited that he may not be able to fight him.

But Lin Yanchao said: "Even if the teacher has no teachings, the master of the academy is a person who has always been admired by the students, not to mention that he is the elder of the students, and the students ask for advice on matters in the Han Academy." ”

With Lin Yanchao's words, Zhang Wei showed a slight smile on his face.

Shen Shixing nodded.

After that, Zhang Wei claimed that something was wrong and retired just right.

There are only two people in the pavilion, Lin Yanchao and Shen Shixing.

Shen Shixing took a sip of tea and said, "Yanchao, you must be puzzled in your heart why I arranged for you to listen to Zhang Mingcheng's orders?" ”

Lin Yanchao said: "The teacher is clear, the student is indeed puzzled, but the teacher's arrangement is never untargeted, and the student is of course all based on the teacher's words. ”

Shen Shixing said with a smile: "That's what I said, but if I don't make it clear to you, isn't it right?" ”

"I let you be in front of Zhang Mingcheng because I know his temperament, this person is scheming and powerful, and he is courageous, but he is also very good at forming gangs, if you don't support him in the Han Academy, you will be excluded for him."

"Of course, you have to say that you are not afraid of his exclusion, and this old woman believes that you can do it, but you can't always get along with the official. If you go to the Ministry of Rites and Rites in the future, you will also have trouble with Zhengqing? If it goes on like this, it's not good for your official reputation, who would dare to use you and recommend you? ”

Lin Yanchao listened to the enlightenment, and immediately said: "Students understand, students should act more restrained. ”

Shen Shixing's tone slowed down, and then Wen Yan said: "Convergence is one thing, the important thing is not to converge in vain." I came forward to ask you to support Zhang Mingcheng, not only for the harmony of the Hanlin Academy, but more importantly, to get along with him, which will help you in your future career, do you understand the deep meaning? ”

Lin Yanchao said without hesitation: "Students understand. ”

Shen Shixing said: "The son can be taught, today you came to tell you a good thing, the old man is ready to recommend you to the Son of Heaven to teach Shu Jishi." ”

Lin Yanchao couldn't help but be pleasantly surprised when he heard this. The benefits of this errand are comparable to those of the examiner.

He's been looking forward to it for a long time.

Shen Shixing said with a smile: "Don't be happy too early, even if you teach Shu Jishi in the future, if Zhang Mingcheng doesn't support it and makes you stumble in everything, what will happen?" So for now, when you can, take a step back, and he will repay you in the future. ”

"The face belongs to others, the benefits are your own, and you must not be greedy for fame as an official, let alone fight for business anger."
