After coming out of the Shen Mansion, Lin Tailai instructed the left and right protectors: "Now go to the Wang's house as a guest." ”

The right protector Zhang Wu wondered: "It's a little late now, and it's too disturbing to be a guest." ”

Lin Tai said: "I didn't have to go to the Wang family, as long as I don't go to the Shen Mansion, the people of the Wang family won't mind if I go to the Wang family or not."

But since you have been to the Shen Mansion, you must go to the Wang's house, and the sooner the better. ”

Although Zhang Wu didn't know what to do, he just listened to the arrangement and did things.

On this big night, if dozens of big men suddenly appear outside the house, it is still quite scary.

The Wang family's disciples were taken aback like this, and it was not until they saw Lin Tailai under the lantern through the crack in the door that they were relieved.

Wang Zhiyuan, Wang Situ, and Wang Xiangmeng, who were all ready to sleep, were called out again.

And Wang Xiangmeng, as a junior, has to go to Yimen to greet Lin Tailai.

Walking through the instrument door and entering the atrium, Lin Tailai stopped pretending, and directly did a few chest expansion exercises, constantly moving his right shoulder and right arm.

said in his mouth: "Pretending to be injured all day long, I can't move my right shoulder and right arm in front of people, it's really uncomfortable!" It's still easy in front of your own family! ”

At this time, the weather in the winter night of Jingshi was already cold, and Wang Situ asked the servants to put a brazier in the small reception room of the middle hall, and then chatted around the brazier.

"Is "Golden Vase Plum" really written by Zhao Nanxing?" Wang Situ asked very curiously.

When his family gathered to talk, the atmosphere was completely different from that of Shen Shoufu.

Lin Tailai replied: "Actually, it is still very possible, otherwise there would not be so many coincidences." ”

Wang Situ said again: "I remember you said at the beginning that Wang Shizhen is most likely to be Lanling Xiaoxiaosheng, and then said that Li Kaixian, Wang Zhideng, Xu Wenchang and others are all possible. ”

Lin Tailai said the truth: "Actually, regarding the true identity of Lanling Xiaoxiaosheng, I can list twenty or thirty suspects.

I'm just pointing out who is the most likely one, depending on the situation! A few days ago, it needed to be Zhao Nanxing, and Lanling Xiaoxiao was Zhao Nanxing! ”

Wang Situ asked with interest: "So in addition to the few I already know, who else is in the list of suspects?" ”

Lin Tailai did not disclose the list, but said: "If it weren't for the old brother, you are not good at literature, especially popular literature, maybe you will also be on the list of suspects, after all, you are from Shandong." ”

Wang Situ: "."

Doesn't it mean that if you can't get on the list of suspects, it means that your literary strength is not good?

The Wang family did not know the results of today's multi-party negotiations, so Wang Xiangmeng took the opportunity to ask Lin Tailai:

"Regarding the matter of Zhao Nanxing beating you, has it been resolved? Do you need help from our royal family? ”

"Don't bother you, it's all over." Lin Tailai replied.

There is really no need for Wang Situ to come forward in this matter, because Wang Situ's role is relatively limited.

This lecture mainly involves two aspects: organization, personnel, and ideology, and is not Wang Situ's strong field.

The power of the household department is more practical, and it is indeed separated from the retreat work.

For example, engaging in the salt industry in Yangzhou, or making a fuss about money and grain taxation, that is the specialty of the household department.

And if Wang Situ is allowed to come forward this time, it is not impossible to operate, but it is half the effort, and the cost performance is not high, Lin Tailai feels that he can't do it.

Wang Xiangmeng was very surprised, and said incredibly: "It's only been three days, and it's already been negotiated?" Shen Shangshu succumbed so quickly? ”

With Wang Xiangmeng's understanding of Lin Tailai, if he hadn't received satisfactory compensation, it would have been impossible to let go in just three days.

Lin Tailai sighed: "I wanted to put pressure on me for a few more days, but they really gave a lot, so I still don't have to dream too much."

A left waiter in the ministry, a jinshi quota that may even be Huiyuan, and an examiner quota, with these compensations, you can accept it when you see it. ”

Wang Situ had also run things, and he was surprised again after hearing Lin Tailai's harvest.

Ask yourself, even if he, the head of the household, makes a move, he can't get so much compensation.

"You have made the Qingliu forces hurt your bones in the past two years, and Shen Shangshu is willing to make such concessions to you, it's really incredible." Wang Situ said with emotion from the bottom of his heart.

Lin Tailai said: "Brother can't think like this, even if a few people are abolished, the Qingliu forces are far from hurting their muscles and bones." ”

"Oh? What do you think of Qingliu? Wang Situ really wants to hear more about Lin Tailai's point of view, it is all his own family, and it doesn't matter if he is out of line.

Lin Tailai first said his thoughts: "These Qingliu henchmen are fortunate to be born in the current Ming Dynasty, otherwise there is no chance to connect with the party to become powerful."

Wang Xiangmeng couldn't help but interject: "Aren't you the same? ”

As for the things that my uncle did in Suzhou, if it had been changed to a less relaxed era, he would have been blacklisted by the imperial court long ago.

But every time he thinks about it, he still envies the days when his little uncle was chic and uninhibited and domineering.

Lin Tailai ignored his nephew and continued: "Those young people who have not been in officialdom for a few years will always be angry with the world, they are at their most enthusiastic, they want to control their fate and change their fate.

Therefore, under the conscious guidance of some superiors, there will always be a steady stream of new officialdom people joining the Qingliu forces. It's really the age of dog days! ”

"Why is it endless?" Wang Xiangmeng asked again.

Lin Tailai replied: "If you were an ordinary rookie official, what would you choose?"

Are you willing to work on your qualifications step by step, and after more than ten years or decades, you can rise to the top and display your ambitions?

Or would you rather hold high the banner of unimpeded speech, and immediately be able to participate in politics in person, do whatever you want, and lash out at power?

If someone tells a newcomer official that as long as he attaches to and joins the Qingliu forces, he can become a member of the righteous path, and immediately have the influence mentioned above that exceeds that of ordinary officials.

How many rookie officials can examine themselves and resist the temptation to participate in temple games? ”

In the end, Lin Tailai concluded: "In today's atmosphere, as long as there are new people coming in the court, the fresh blood of the Qingliu forces will continue to flow.

What if I abolish the Qingliu Force? Soon there will be new people to fill in, and there will be a batch every three years! That's why I said that the Qingliu forces are not hurting their muscles and bones at the moment. ”

Wang Situ, who hadn't spoken for a long time, laughed a few times, and said to Lin Tai: "It seems that you have studied a lot about the problem of today's temples."

In the past few days, you have been playing with other cabinet ministers, and you must have any new feelings, so you might as well say them together and teach the children. ”

The children in Wang Situ's mouth can only be Wang Xiangmeng, who is over thirty years old.

Lin Tailai sighed: "My biggest feeling is that it is very boring to mix in the imperial court."

Most of the time, you can only rely on wits and games to solve problems, which is really not fun, and it is not painful at all.

I have begun to miss the time when I was in Jiangzuo, I didn't need so many twists and turns, and I could directly use force to solve eighty percent of disputes, how happy it was. ”

Wang Situ said: "It may be that your strength is not enough, so you can't act too freely." This is in a hurry, and can only be accumulated step by step.

Now that there are two months left before the exam, have you thought about what you want to do? ”

Lin Tailai replied: "Now that the obstacles have been removed, there is no need to worry about the imperial examination." So take advantage of this time to have a lot of free time, and strive to fight with the Zheng family, a relative.

And it has to be played naturally, reasonably, and bigger.

This is more difficult, and I don't have a good idea at the moment, so I need to think about it further. ”

Wang Situ: "."

You're a little brother-in-law, what are you thinking about every day?

Lin Tailai asked rhetorically: "My brother just took the initiative to ask me what I want to do in the next two months, do you have any good suggestions?" ”

Wang Situ replied very seriously: "I think that in addition to the Zheng family's fight, you should also spare energy to build momentum for the imperial examination."

At present, your ranking in the imperial examination will not be too bad, after all, the joints are all opened. But for the sake of the long term, in order to move forward more steadily, you can't ignore the influence of public opinion.

Therefore, before the exam, you should build more momentum and hype up your literary name in Jingshi, so that as many people as possible can know about your talent.

In this way, when the final results of the exam are out, the criticism in the world will be reduced.

For example, Yang Shen, the champion of the Zhengde Dynasty, his father is Yang Tinghe, the elder of the pavilion, but everyone clearly knows that Yang Shen is talented, and no one criticizes him after he wins the champion. ”

Lin Tailai nodded thoughtfully, "This is the old man's words, and the old brother is reasonable!" ”

Superficial reputation is not something that cannot be taken seriously, even if it is self-deception, the business should still be operated.

Even if it is Cao Cao, doesn't he claim to be a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty on the surface? Even if you are a celebrity, don't you have to attend a charity dinner?

Wang Xiangmeng suddenly glanced at Lin Tailai, since it is said that the exam, don't forget the things agreed before.

Lin Tailai said to Wang Situ again: "Before the exam, I have to ask my nephew Xiangmeng to guide me in my composition, and I may often stay there to say hello to my elder brother first." ”

Although Wang Situ is very suspicious in his heart, can he still guide others to write articles at the level of Wang Xiangmeng?

However, I thought that it would be good to let young people get closer to each other, so I agreed.

When Lin Tailai came out of Wang's house, it was already the dead of night.

At this time, dozens of big men were walking on the streets, looking very suspicious, and successfully attracted the attention of the patrol officers.

After tossing for a while, he was able to return to the Lin Mansion smoothly.

In the southwest of the imperial city, the area of Yongfang is the gathering area of official residences, and the patrol density of officials and soldiers is very large, and the security intensity can be called the highest in the capital.

This made Lin Tailai feel that it was safe to live in the core area of such a high-end square area, but sometimes it didn't seem so convenient.

And the next day, Lin Tailai began to plan two things he would do, first, to provoke the Zheng family and start fighting; Second, build momentum in the literary world and reduce the criticism of the imperial examination.

Immediately, he sent someone to Ning Yuanbo's Mansion to post a post to Li Rusong, the governor of the capital patrol camp in the capital, and make an appointment for a meeting.

Then he sent someone to Dongcheng to greet his fellow villagers and see if there was a chance to launch the Yaji Literary Meeting together.

At noon, Li Rusong replied to the post and scheduled to meet in the West Courtyard Hutong tonight.

With the efficiency of this era, Li Rusong's reply and contract speed are quite fast, and his enthusiasm can be seen from this detail.

There are two main reasons for this, one is that three years ago, Lin Tailai took advantage of the Dayushan Imperial Mausoleum site incident to help Li Rusong consolidate the saint's family and be promoted to a higher level.

And Li Rusong, who is a righteous person, must not snub Lin Tailai.

The second is Li Rusong's father, that is, the famous general Li Chengliang Jiuzhen Liaodong, who is not very clean himself, and there are a lot of various bad things.

Therefore, Li Chengliang is very sensible and often gives big gifts to Shen Shoufu, in order to ask Shen Shoufu to take care of him in the court.

And the relationship between Lin Tailai and Shen Shoufu is unusually close, and Li Rusong must be willing to make friends with Lin Tailai.

The full name of Xiyuan Hutong is Jiaofang Si Xiyuan Hutong, everyone who understands understands it, and those who don't understand it also understand.

The Li family is very rich, and Li Rusong directly chartered a field at the house of an acquaintance, so as not to be disturbed by irrelevant people.

Both of them arrived early, so they didn't rush to let the beauties come up, so they sat down and talked first.

Li Rusong said first: "I thought you should prepare for the exam with peace of mind, so I didn't dare to disturb. ”

Lin Tailai replied: "The problem of the imperial examination is not big, and when I made an appointment with my brother today, I actually had something to ask for." ”

Li Rusong responded very cheerfully: "If you have something, you can talk about it." ”

Lin Tailai said directly: "During this time, I need to fight with the Zheng family, and there will be fierce conflicts, resulting in huge contradictions and hatred.

But I don't know much about the situation of the Zheng family, and there is no credible channel in Beijing to keep an eye on the Zheng family.

I need you to help provide the Zheng family's movements and news from now on, the more the better. ”

Li Rusong said with a strange expression: "Your idea is quite peculiar, it seems that you just want to find a reasonable excuse to start a fight with the Zheng family?" ”

Lin Tai said: "Three years ago, because of the matter of Wu Zhuangyuan, I had a feud with Zheng Guotai. But you can't still talk about Wu Zhuangyuan until now, right? ”

Li Rusong didn't ask the reason for the matter, and after thinking about it carefully, he replied:

"Zheng Guotai has not performed much in the past two years, in fact, the current active figure of the Zheng family is not Zheng Guotai, and you can't find much if you stare at Zheng Guotai.

Today's active figure in the Zheng family is Zheng Guotai and Zheng Niangniang's father Zheng Chengxian, and this national father-in-law has more problems.

As far as I know, Zheng Chengxian's behavior is relatively arrogant, and he often befriends the eunuchs in the palace, and is widely recruited by mountain people and warlocks. ”

Lin Tailai patted his forehead, almost falling into the inertia of thinking.

Zheng Guotai in history has been active for nearly 30 years since then, and his shadow is behind many Da Ming Qi cases, which makes a deep impression on Lin Tailai.

So when Lin Tailai thought of the Zheng family, he always subconsciously pondered Zheng Guotai, but ignored that now the head of the Zheng family is Zheng Chengxian.

So Lin Tailai asked again: "Please help me collect more news about the Zheng family in the near future, so that I can know myself and the other and prescribe the right medicine." ”

"It's a small thing." Li Rusong agreed, and it was indeed a trivial matter to just inquire about the news.

For a governor who is in charge of the capital's patrol camp, it is not difficult to collect information in a targeted manner.

In this way, the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves, and the pleasant night passed.

Tonight, Lin Tailai learned the lesson of last night, and stayed in the beauty house directly, so as not to be tossed by the patrol officers and soldiers on the way home in the middle of the night.

The next day, when Lin Tai came to leave, Zhang Wen, the left protector who was waiting in the wing room outside, quietly told Lin Tai:

"The people of the Li family sent a box of things to me, saying that it was a local product of Liaodong. I opened it and looked at it, and the box was full of ginseng. ”

"Since it's Governor Li's kindness, then take it!" Lin Tailai said with a dumb smile.

This Li family is really insecure, is it that as long as there is an opportunity, they will desperately give gifts?

The train of thought is broken.,I don't have an idea to add more.,Hold it back.,Wait until I think of the next stage of the plot and add more.,I hope it's tomorrow.。
