Looking at the henchmen in front of him, Shen Shangshu sighed deeply, took out a little leader's momentum, and said softly:

"It's about to usher in the catastrophe of the country, but you are only staring at Lin Tailai, can you have a sense of the overall situation?"

Shen Shangshu has always disliked going into battle in person, and he doesn't like to be on the front line.

But if he competes against Lin Tailai on the issue of the imperial examination, then he, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, has to rush to the forefront.

Moreover, in the just-concluded examination, the experience of directly "playing" with Lin Tailai was too bad, which had already made Shen Shangshu feel strongly physiologically uncomfortable, as if he was rolling in a quagmire.

"Why did the great uncle say this? Could it be that Lin Tailai was gently let go? Everyone asked in surprise.

This is the first time that Shen Shangshu has directly stated that he does not want to continue to encircle and suppress Lin Tai on the issue of exams.

Shen Shangshu said in a deep voice: "I advise you to be calm, don't be rash, and don't let emotions affect reason." ”

An imperial historian immediately replied: "We are not acting rashly, Lin Tailai is really a great enemy, how can we let him into the imperial court?"

Now that Lin Tailai has plotted to win the Huiyuan, if I do nothing, Lin Tailai will definitely be among the best in the palace examination, and even Sanding Jia, and then enter Hanlin!

With Lin Tailai's cunning and insidiousness, and his penchant for power, maybe in 20 years, he will become a traitor like Yan Fenyi and Zhang Jiangling! ”

There is also a director of the Ministry of Rites who said sadly and indignantly: "Think about the fallen General Xian Xin Zixiu, Nanxuan Li Shida, Fu Wu Li Lai, Wu Jun Shou Shi Kunyu, Cai Shiding, Salt Patrol, and the monarchs of Wanshan, and then think about Gu Xiancheng, Zhao Nanxing and other monarchs who have been repeatedly humiliated!"

In the face of so many martyrs, can we be indifferent? If you don't stop Lin Tailai now, when will you have to wait? ”

Shen Shangshu: "."

You all remember so many people so clearly, Yan Song and Zhang Juzheng all shouted out, and said that they were not willful, and they didn't let emotions affect their reason?

But it also shows that at this time, Shen Shangshu feels that he has been coerced by the party to run forward, and he can't stop.

"I still advise you to calm down!" Shen Shangshu insisted and emphasized: "If you want to retest Lin Tailai with the art of making, will you definitely be able to succeed?"

Have you ever thought about what if Lin Tailai really has eight literary skills? ”

Writing eight-strand essays is also called craftsmanship in the jargon, only Lin Tailai is really not good at eight-strand essays, and the real level is very poor or very average, so it makes sense to find an opportunity to retest Lin Huiyuan.

Libu Langzhong Yu Kong replied: "In the eight strands of writing in various exams, no one really thinks that Lin Tailai wrote it, right?"

For example, in this exam, he must have missed the question in advance, and then Lin Tai came to find a master to write an article in advance.

Even the Nanzhili Township Exam is the same, not to mention the lower-level exam, what else in Suzhou City Lin Tailai can't do? ”

Shen Shangshu said cautiously: "These are just speculations, don't be blinded by prejudice and bet on guessing the outcome of a big gamble." ”

Yu Kongjian felt that Shen Shangshu was too weak today, and replied unconvinced: "It's not a guess, the truth can be analyzed from many signs!"

First of all, Baguwen is not a wanton style, it needs to be studied and figured out to be familiar, and the skill is greater than the talent, so it is called the art of making.

And Lin Tailai has been fighting in the north and south for the past few years, and he is lascivious, how much leisure can he have to study the eight-strand literary skills?

Secondly, Lin Tailai's personality is very obvious, he likes to be famous and flaunting.

When he was in his last years, he dared to find the leader of the literary league to fight for poetry, and with a little knowledge, he frequently provoked Gu Xiancheng, and several broken poetry collections were printed and distributed everywhere at his own expense.

If he really had the eight-strand literary skills that matched Hui Yuan, he would have tried his best to make a name for himself in a high-profile manner, at least he would print a few books like "Lin's Selected Essays" at his own expense, right?

If it weren't for the strength of the craft, why would he endure the repeated doubts of others and keep hiding it?

His imperial examination has been full of doubts and controversies all the way, and who would like to have his fame tainted?

If he really has the strength to make art, he would have taken the initiative to stand up and prove it with his character! ”

Everyone praised one after another: "Yu Bulang is right! ”

Yu Kongjian's analysis is well-founded, but in fact, most people have similar ideas.

The main reason is that the image of Lin Daguan who is tall and mighty, and opens the way by force when encountering problems, is too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and there is no eight-strand literary temperament that follows the rules and has strict laws.

And everyone subconsciously didn't want to admit that Lin Tailai could have any real skills.

Shen Shangshu's expression was indifferent, without sadness or joy.

Why can Shen Shixing's doormen automatically fight monsters, but these own henchmen will only urge themselves to go and fight with Shen Shixing's doormen in person?

Didn't they think that the Ministry of Rites Shangshu and Lin Tailai were completely unequal in status? The risks and benefits are not equal at all!

After Yu Kongjian accepted the cheers of his colleagues, he continued to talk very wisely:

"Judging from the current situation in all aspects, it is basically impossible for the imperial court to retest Lin Tailai's Baguwen alone, so the only opportunity for Lin Tailai to retest is the palace test."

Under normal circumstances, the palace examination is a formality, and only one policy essay is examined, and the eight-strand essay is not tested at all.

If you want to arrange a re-examination of Lin Tailai's Baguwen in the palace examination, only the Ministry of Rites Shangshu, who is in charge of the examination, will come forward to do it, and no one else present will be able to do it.

Shen Shangshu couldn't help but point out again: "The palace examination is nominally the main examination of the Son of Heaven, and any arrangement for the palace examination requires the consent of the Son of Heaven.

Moreover, the palace examination is a national ceremony, how can the content be changed arbitrarily? ”

Yu Kongjian's face became serious, and he solemnly saluted Shen Shangshu, and said loudly:

"As the emperor's teacher, the great uncle is usually trusted by the Son of Heaven, and he can speak well to the Son of Heaven.

Therefore, if you use the temple to expel the evil things, please ask the great uncle! ”

The others felt their blood boiling, and saluted together: "Take advantage of the temple to expel the evil things, please ask the great uncle!" ”

Shen Shangshu: "."

Why didn't you find out that these henchmen were mentally retarded?

How precious is that little affection with the Son of Heaven, isn't it fragrant when you are fighting for admission to the cabinet? It's all wasted on Lin Tailai, and his brain is in water?

At this moment, Shen Shangshu had a feeling of being devoured by fate, and in a trance, he always felt that the voice he heard was "Please ask Uncle Dazong to die".

Finally, a smart person jumped out and questioned Kong Jian: "It's not worth it to target Lin Tailai at such a cost, right?" ”

Yu Kong shouted: "Shut up! Do you want to shield evil spirits? If so, your heart can be punished! ”

The wise man didn't dare to say anything more, and retracted again.

In the passionate gaze, Shen Shangshu could only respond in the end: "The headquarters must do its best to put the eight-strand text into the palace test!" ”

Doing your best means that if you can't do it, there's no way around it.

Anyway, when it comes to the issue of the palace examination, even if it is advocated by the Ministry of Rites, it will definitely have to be discussed by the internal and external high-level courts.

And the comrades in the high-level will be more rational, can calculate the gains and losses of interests more soberly, and will not be as brainless as these middle and low-level rookies in front of them!

The time of the palace examination is generally set on March 15, and it is only half a month before the end of the examination.

Therefore, after the end of the examination, the imperial court must begin to prepare for the palace examination, which is a ceremony in which the Son of Heaven is nominally the main examination and the inner court and the outer court participate together.

Two days later, in the room of the East Dynasty outside the noon gate, the cabinet scholars and the nine secretaries of the outer court gathered together to discuss matters concerning the palace examination.

Although the second assistant Xu Guo fell ill, there were still three bachelors present, because Wang Jiaping, the left waiter of the Ministry of Officials (false title) and a scholar of Dongge University, ended Ding Wei and returned to the court this month.

So it was rare that there were four scholars in the cabinet.

The palace examination is a matter of the Ministry of Rites, so today it is presided over by Shen Li, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites.

Looking at the people in the room, Shen Shangshu said slowly: "Recently, the government and the opposition have criticized the results of the examination, especially the candidates for the Huiyuan.

In order to calm the material discussion, the headquarters proposed to add eight strands of text to the temple test. ”

Shoufu Shen Shixing frowned and said, "Is it reasonable to change the ancestral system?" ”

Shen Li had to say very responsibly: "The headquarters is responsible for marching to the Son of Heaven and clarifying the situation."

However, however, the responsibility for this matter is very high."

"Agreed!" Lu Guangzu, the secretary of the Criminal Department, jumped out to express his support.

"Agreed!" Song Qi, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, jumped out to express his support.

"Agreed!" Dali Temple Qing Sun Yan jumped out to express his support.

Shen Shangshu: "."

Are these colleagues too tacit or too tacit?

Can't you just look at the direction of the wind before you give your opinion?

Could it be that you are all blinded by hatred and want to jump when you see Lin Tailai?

Can you listen to the twist after the "but" first? My own voiceover has not yet been expressed!

In a short period of coldness, Wang Jiaping, a newly returned bachelor, suddenly said: "I can think it's okay." ”

This is Wang Jiaping's first statement after his return, and it is certainly not untargeted, and it has made many people fall into deep thought.

Shen Shangshu didn't care about thinking about Wang Jiaping's thoughts, so he could only look at Shen Shoufu and Wang Situ coldly.

As a result, he found that Shen Shoufu and Wang Situ were also watching coldly, as if they had nothing to do with him.

"What does Shousuke think?" Shen Shangshu felt that something was not quite right, and took the initiative to ask.

Shen Shixing stayed out of the matter and said, "I don't have any opinions, I am subject to the holy judgment." ”

Shen Shangshu looked at Wang Situ again, and then Wang Situ said calmly: "Lin Huiyuan is my brother-in-law, so I avoid suspicion." ”

At this time, Lu Guangzu, Song Kun, Sun Yan and others finally felt that Shoufu's attitude was a little wrong, and he didn't even maintain the number one thug? Wang Situ doesn't even cover up his brother-in-law?

But their "approval" has already been said, and it is impossible to go back on their word in public, so they are still anxious!

Shouldn't there be any problem, right? Lin Tailai must not pass the retest, right?

Shen Shangshu once again has no sorrow or joy, is there a difference between the performance of high-level colleagues and middle- and low-level rookies?

I can only blame Lin Tailai for the fact that the hatred value is stacked too high.

So in this meeting of the twelve, there was a strange result of five votes in favor and seven abstentions, and Shen Li, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, was responsible for reporting to the Son of Heaven.
