Regarding Wang Xiangmeng's departure, Lin Daguan did not feel any surprise.

He and the Wang family were not too closely bound to interests, and helping Hushu tariffs to make the king's capital was just the icing on the cake.

Moreover, the relationship between him and the royal tax envoy is more of a personal friendship, and it has not yet risen to the level of the entire royal family.

After all, Wang Zhidu is not a very core figure in the entire group of Wang officials.

When the "trouble" he caused was greater than the value, the people of the Wang family chose to avoid it, which can be regarded as a kind of "sanity".

After seeing Wang Xiangmeng leave, Lin Tailai looked at Shen Yongmao again and said coldly: "Your Excellency also wants to leave?" ”

Shen Yongmao felt that Lin Tailai's respect for him seemed to plummet.

After thinking about it, Shen Yongmao said: "It's useless for me to stay here, my father will return to the capital tomorrow, report the matter to my father first, and then make a decision." ”

Mainly in Suzhou's hometown, Shen Yongjia and Lin Tailai's interests are deeply bound, and it is impossible for the Shen family to completely ignore Lin Tailai.

The interests of their hometown are of special significance, and their father and son will always return to their roots and return to their hometown in the future.

Lin Tailai said again: "Then I'll find a place to hide by myself tonight." Wait until Shen Xiang returns home tomorrow and see if Shen Xiang has met him. ”

Shen Yongmao was indifferent, and did not say anything about inviting him to go to the Shen Mansion to hide.

This is to avoid giving others the "truth", after all, there are people who impeach "Shen Shixing connived at the doorman to run amok", and there is no big mistake in being careful.

After sending Shen Yongmao away, Lin Daguan made a decision after a little thought.

Tell his fellows: "Now pretend to panic, leave something, and go out and change places!" ”

Then, in front of a group of wounded people on the ground, Lin Tailai hurriedly left the Sanwu Hall with his guys, as if he was afraid that someone would retaliate again.

This is also normal, after all, the other party is the Jinyi Guard Detective Academy.

After seeing Lin Daguan and his party leave, the dozen or so people who had fled earlier came back.

First, in order to rescue the injured accomplice, the accomplice must not be allowed to lie on the ground.

The second is to rush into the houses where Lin Daguan and his men live, not only to vent their anger and wreak havoc, but also to rob Lin Daguan of some property that he had no time to take away.

Lin Tailai jumped from the Dongcheng Hall to the Xicheng again, and came to Ningyuan Bo's Mansion.

Although Li Rusong hung up the "no battle card" and did not see the guests, he was actually celebrating at home.

It doesn't matter if you are promoted to the next level, the grade of the military attache is already inflated, and it doesn't matter if you have a double salary, the Li family is not short of that money.

What Li Rusong values most is the Royal Flying Fish Suit, which is much more important than any promotion. If the foreign minister can receive this kind of obedience, it will be tantamount to the Son of Heaven openly showing his appreciation for you.

Hearing that Lin Tai was coming, in order to express his gratitude, Li Rusong personally came out to greet him.

But Lin Tailai didn't go in, so he stood in the front yard and told Li Rusong what happened today.

Li Rusong said: "You take refuge in me first, if you want to leave the capital, find an opportunity to secretly send you out of the city in a few days." ”

Although Li Rusong is not very afraid of Jinyiwei, he can't suppress Jinyiwei. Moreover, Jinyiwei is a very large and complex organization, and no one can say which level it will alarm.

So all Li Rusong could do was to secretly send people out of the capital.

"There's no need to be so troublesome." Lin Daguan said calmly: "I'll talk about it tomorrow when Shoufu comes back." ”

Then he said to Li Rusong: "I heard that tomorrow, the son of heaven will return to Beijing, and all the civil and military officials in Beijing will go out of the city to greet him."

When you go, Li Dudu, if you see Shen Shoufu and say a word for me, just say that the eldest of their Shen family is not as good as the second! ”

Li Rusong smiled bitterly: "What you say, you have grievances, is it really appropriate to say it to Shoufu?" ”

Lin Tailai said dissatisfiedly: "I just want Shoufu to know that I have grievances!" Presumably, with the generosity of Shoufu, he will not worry about me, a fellow countryman! ”

In history, Shen Shixing was known for his generosity, especially in small matters, otherwise Lin Daguan would not have deliberately died.

That night, Lin Tailai once again stayed in Ning Yuanbo's Mansion, and it was still safe here.

Most of the time, the Jinyi Guards in the real plane are not like in movies and television, they can run rampant and do whatever they want in the elite class.

What most powerful people are afraid of is not that the factory guard rushes into the house, but that they are afraid of being beaten by the factory guard at a critical moment.

The next day, Li Rusong set off early in the morning and came to Desheng Gate to meet a group of civil and military officials.

In the morning, the banner of the Son of Heaven appeared in everyone's field of vision.

Nothing unusual, everything is according to etiquette, and most of the ministers are mixed in the crowd and follow the crowd.

But there was a little accident in etiquette today, and Bi Qiang, who is 70 years old this year, accidentally fell to the ground because of his old age and frailty.

Emperor Wanli forgave the old courtier's loss of honor and ordered the pro-army to escort Bi Shangshu home.

Seeing this scene with a little political sense, it can be estimated that Bi Shangshu is probably about to ask for Zhishi.

In addition to the scholar of Zaifu University, the civil official of the foreign dynasty is the second person after the official department of Shangshu.

The Wanli Emperor drove into the city, and the ministers who went to Tianshou Mountain from the emperor and the ministers who stayed in Beijing converged behind.

Li Rusong took the opportunity to find Shen Shoufu to pass the message, and Shen Shoufu pondered for a while and said, "Let him come to see me in the middle of the night." ”

In the past turmoil over the location of Shou Palace, Li Rusong directly ended the turmoil with a letter of reciprocation.

This directly helped Shen Shoufu, who was involved in the whirlpool, so Shen Shoufu had to sell Li Rusong's face.

Lin Tailai asked Li Rusong to help spread the word, and he also took these factors into account.

After Li Rusong returned to Ning Yuanbo's Mansion and told Lin Tailai about Shen Shoufu's reply, Lin Tailai immediately asked the guys to pack their luggage again.

Li Rusong was stunned and said, "What is this for?" Has anyone in the house been slow to treat you? ”

Lin Daguan said confidently: "After today, I will move to Shen Mansion to live!" ”

Although he was so confident in his mouth, before going to the Shen Mansion, Lin Tailai still pondered Shen Shixing repeatedly in his heart.

After all, this is the preset thigh, and it is also the high-level power that Lin Tailai is most likely to approach so far.

In the political history of the Ming Dynasty, the change in the power of the first assistant is a vein worth studying.

In the middle and late Ming Dynasty, there was a period of strong first assistants, which means that the cabinet was the most powerful and could directly suppress the six foreign dynasties.

Some of the most famous Shoufu of the Ming Dynasty were basically in this period.

Generally speaking, the recognized strong first assistant originated from Yang Tinghe, the peak was Zhang Juzheng, and the last afterglow was Shen Shixing.

When Shen Shixing was in power, he could barely suppress the six ministries, but after Shen Shixing, Shoufu gradually lost control of the six ministries, especially the officials.

From this historical perspective, Shen Shixing can also be regarded as an iconic figure, a symbol of the end of the period of the strong first assistant.

If you want to analyze Shen Shixing's character from literary and historical materials, you will only feel that it is very vague and lacks distinct recognition.

Be generous, but also vindictive; is tactful, but also principled, and often rescues officials who are guilty of straightforward advice;

has a good relationship with Zhang Juzheng, but is also trusted by Emperor Wanli; On the whole, he is a good person, but he has a lot of desires, and he often forms parties and gangs.

Probably only such a complex character can stand in the political whirlpool after the liquidation of Zhang Juzheng.

In the evening, Li Rusong sent more than 100 Ding and sergeants to escort Lin Tailai to Shen Mansion.

This time, Lin Tailai was not turned away, and a servant of the Shen family carried a lantern and led Lin Tailai to a certain study.

There was no one else in the study, and Lin Daguan saluted the head assistant, and then secretly looked at it a few times.

This song looks good, and it can be seen that there was a faint appearance of Yanzu when he was young, after all, he was the champion.

Shen Shixing said gently: "The old man's unscrupulous dog lives in the countryside, thanks to your care." ”

Of course, Lin Daguan pretended to be modest and said that wherever and wherever they are, they all take care of each other.

Shen Shoufu changed the topic very smoothly and asked, "Li Rusong's recital, did you point it out?" ”

Lin Tai said: "The old man of the pavilion was not in Beijing that day, and he had no way to take refuge in the bottom, so he had to point out Li Dudu. ”

"That's the old man, another dog has no eyes." Shen Shixing said again: "Dare to ask what is the meaning of the song? ”

This question is the answer that all the officials of the Jingshi want to know, but few people are qualified to get the truth from the mouths of Lin Daguan.

With the value of Shen Shoufu, of course, he is qualified to listen to the guidance of Lin Daguan, so at this time, Lin Tailai will not hide it, and replied:

"First, I heard that the emperor revered Emperor Sejong in his heart, so comparing the feng shui of Dayu Mountain with Emperor Sejong's Yongling will definitely make the emperor satisfied.

Second, Sejong Yongling's regulation is second only to Changling, and if the Shou Palace is built in the name of Yongling, the emperor will definitely be satisfied.

Therefore, as long as it is said that Dayu Mountain is symmetrical with Yangcuiling, Shougong should also be symmetrical with Yongling, and the regulations should be on par with Yongling, Your Majesty will definitely adopt it! ”

After learning the inside story, Shen Shoufu was stunned for a long time, pondering the news carefully.

The root of everything is actually a sentence, the current Wanli Emperor admires Emperor Jiajing very much in his heart.

Shen Shixing was speechless for a long time, this is really one. Great secrets.

If it were an ordinary person, he would definitely start to study how to use this psychology to please the emperor.

But Shen Shixing sat in the position of the first assistant, and the extremely powerful ministers could not advance, and there was no need for this kind of deliberate currying favor with the emperor.

Even if he curry favor with the emperor again, there is no place to be promoted, so Shen Shoufu thinks a little more.

If the current emperor worships Emperor Jiajing, will he follow Emperor Jiajing's model of hiding in the deep palace in the future?

As the first assistant sandwiched between the hundred officials and the emperor, how should he deal with it?

Lin Daguan waited for a while, but saw that Shen Shoufu seemed to be in a state of contemplation and long-term examination, and he didn't speak for a long time, so he was a little impatient in his heart.

Said tentatively: "I heard that when Li Dudu's recital was read out that day, there were still Li Zhi and others impeached? ”

Shen Shixing forgot to ask, how did Lin Tailai know what the emperor thought, and when he heard Lin Tailai take the initiative to ask, he subconsciously replied:

"This is true, but it is not you Lin Tailai who Li Zhi impeached, but a guest of the Shen family. So you don't have to worry, it's natural for the old man to bear it. ”

Lin Daguan sighed: "There should be many people in the court who are willing to help the pavilion elder speak, but none of them are useful!"

A great opportunity is in front of him, but he let Li Zhi retreat after the impeachment, how can he be embarrassed! ”

The city government of Shen Shixing didn't even understand the meaning of Lin Tailai's words.

After that, I heard Lin Tailai say unashamedly: "If I had been at the scene that day, I would have made Li Zhi's grave three feet tall!" ”

Lin Daguan's arrogant posture made Shen Shoufu frown.

If Shen Yongjia was here, he would tell his old father that Lin Tailai was actually very restrained now, even one-tenth of his usual amount.

Shen Shoufu still couldn't help but snort softly: "Do you know, what are you talking about? ”

Lin Tailai said disdainfully: "At that time, there must have been a lot of imperial historians and ministers, but none of them could fight!"

If I were present, I would be impeached on the spot, Li Zhi secretly colluded with the factory guards, and connected inside and outside! ”

Shen Shoufu only said: "There is no joke in front of the king, in front of the Son of Heaven, you must be responsible for speaking." ”

Lin Tailai continued to output and said: "The reason is very simple, I crippled the sincerity of Uncle Cheng in Chongwenmen, and I don't even know about the first assistant.

Tianshou Mountain, which is also hundreds of miles away, why does Li Zhi know the news accurately and know my identity as a guest of Shenfu?

So the biggest possibility is that Li Zhi colluded with the factory guard, so the news is so well-informed! ”

Shen Shixing said again: "Then do you have empirical evidence? ”

Lin Daguan smiled: "What kind of evidence do you need for this kind of thing?" What is hearsay, do you need to prove it?

can provoke the emperor's suspicion, just let the emperor be free!

Just think about it, it has only been a few years since Zhang Juzheng and Feng Bao were connected inside and outside, can the emperor not be suspicious?

The most well-informed person in the capital and the one who has a channel to transmit news is the factory guard secret agent.

If it weren't for collusion with the factory guards, how could Li Zhi know the news?

If Li Zhi is not convinced, then ask him to explain the means himself, how to know the things in the capital hundreds of miles away at the first time.

So there is no need for empirical evidence at all, only the analysis of cause and effect of things, it is enough! ”

Shen Shixing was speechless, maybe Lin Tailai's words at the beginning were not pure arrogance, but he did have this ability?

Lin Tailai concluded: "Li Zhi, Jiang Dongzhi, and Yang Keli, the three clowns, have been making trouble against you since they jumped off the beam, and they are very annoying!"

To tell the truth, the officials you brought with you are so wasteful that they can't even clean up these three clowns.

If I had done it, I would have cleared them out of the court a long time ago! ”

Shen Shixing was angry, and asked rhetorically: "You are not in the court, how can you make a move?" ”

Li Zhi and other three celebrity combinations are all initiators of anti-Zhang Juzheng, who have won the emperor's trust and are people who can have a direct dialogue with the emperor.

Any attack on the three red people is often suspected by the emperor of being a counterattack by Zhang Juzheng's forces. So if it was so good to clean up, it would have been kicked out a long time ago.

Lin Tailai immediately took out a handful of notes from his arms, "These notes list the ways to deal with various situations, as long as you follow the note, cleaning up Li Zhi is just around the corner!" ”

Shen Shixing: "."

These three red people have always wanted to pull him off the horse, and if they can be completely eliminated, it will relieve a lot of pressure.

After coming back to his senses, Shen Shixing said a little absent-mindedly: "Let's talk about it first, you injured the Jinyi Guard Detective Academy yesterday." ”

Lin Tailai shook a large handful of notes in his hand, "What's my business?" It's clearly your business, just look at these notes. ”
