Among the six people in Lin Tailai's circle of friends in the same year, Jin Shiheng had returned to his home for funeral because of his father's death, and Zhou Yingqiu and Dong Qichang were selected as Shu Jishi.

As for Wang Yusheng, Chen Yunjian, and Shen Fu, they are still in the period of observing politics and have been arranged to intern in the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

The main reason is that Wu Shilai, the imperial historian of the left capital, is a henchman of Shen Shoufu, and he is also considered his own person, and there are many places in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, which is relatively easy to arrange.

In fact, for Lin Tailai, the most suitable place to arrange friends to watch politics is the household department, and Wang Situ is the real person.

Moreover, the household department is also a large government office, with 13 departments inside, and a large number of expatriate agencies such as tax customs, warehouses, and border town offices, which make it easier to arrange people.

But it's a pity that Wang Yusheng, Chen Yunjian, and Shen Fu are not only the same year, but also fellow villagers in Suzhou.

Just when Lin Tailai thought that today was another ordinary day, a letter that was enough to set off turbulent waves was sent to the palace.

"Today, the left commentator of Dali Temple, Yu Ren, wrote a note, and his words were very aggressive, which can be called a straight stab at the dragon's face!"

Do you want to set up a private person, or do you want to help me open up the situation?

Lin Tailai saw Wang Xiangmeng's bitter face, and said suspiciously: "This matter is very simple, right?" And it can help you build prestige, so why not? ”

How can you listen to Lao Shoufu's tone, as if Lin Tailai's strength is similar to yours?

Make no mistake, we are here in the Ministry of Rites, the most cultured place in the six departments!

What Shen Shoufu said at this time must be "Wine and Wealth".

After that, Lin Tailai went to the Hallym Academy in the morning, because most of the morning classes and lectures of the Hallym Academy were in the morning, and in the afternoon, he went to the main and guest department of the Ministry of Rites to work.

And among the initial official positions of the new science and technology scholars who stayed in Beijing, the best was the head of the six departments.

But now that the emperor doesn't come out much, what good errand can the Hanlin Academy have?

You just let it go inside the Ministry of Officials, I, Lin Tailai, have already planted a flag in the main and guest division of the Ministry of Rites, and what I want is all the same, the subordinates who don't meet my wishes, whoever comes and who dies! ”

Lin Tailai: "??? ”

Besides, there really need to be some powerful people among these little eunuchs now, why can't even an illiterate Father-in-law Wei be defeated in the future?

Anyway, there are only two positions, and one of the three people has to quit.

The inner study hall is a place to select outstanding little eunuchs to study, and the big eunuchs, especially the ceremonial eunuchs, are basically born in the inner study hall.

Now that everyone is a newcomer to the work, it is not good to have an all-night carnival at every turn, and they will disperse after an hour.

Now that the future of his friends in the same year is clear, he is also going to work harder, and he should ask Shen Shoufu to help arrange it.

In the end, Lin Tailai suddenly remembered something, and said earnestly: "Master Chen, I know you want to return the favor, but don't be so anxious.

Bachelor Chen was speechless, outsiders only saw that Lin Tailai was very reckless, but only after more contact could he understand that the most terrible thing about Lin Tailai was that he was not reckless.

Under normal circumstances, the errand of teaching in the inner study hall is very good, and you can meet the future powerful eunuchs as a teacher and become your political ally.

Wang Yusheng, who was born in a rich and famous family, smiled bitterly a few times, and said honestly: "This opportunity is still left to the two brothers, I can't pull my face." ”

Scribes: "??? ”

Lin Tailai said: "My good nephew, you just went to the Ministry of Officials, do you feel very isolated?"

I'm here tonight to help you open up the situation in the ministry. ”

Wang Yusheng did not return to his residence, and went to Shen Mansion by himself, as the descendant of the Dongshan Wang family of the famous family in Suzhou, of course he could talk to Shen Shoufu.

Wang Xiangmeng sighed, "How can I, a newcomer who has only been here for a few days, have the ability to decide on the appointment of the two directors in one go."

Lin Tailai shook his head, "I thought you had made great progress, but the results were still not much."

Now I'm in the middle of the room, and the rest are still vacant. You are not qualified, but are you interested in the main thing? ”

But all of the above is normal, and now is not an abnormal time.

Emperor Wanli's heart is most guarded against the next Feng Bao and Zhang Juzheng, so it doesn't make much political sense to associate with eunuchs.

Lin Tailai, who was mentioned by Shoufu, did not go back to his home, but went to Wang Situ's house to sober up.

But this has little to do with you newcomers, just don't come out. ”

There are more than 300 new science and technology scholars, many of whom have strong backgrounds, but how many can start directly from the six departments?

After a few years of county transition, and then promoted to the head of the sixth department, it can be regarded as a good mix.

No matter how literate your Ministry of Rites is, can you compare to the Hanlin Academy?

It is to let you all know that wherever I Lin Tailai goes, the main focus is to let the environment adapt to me, not me to adapt to the environment!

It can be seen that it is not easy for the new science and technology jinshi to be directly appointed as the main officer, but no one present asked, Lin Tailai, can you do it.

As soon as he joined the company, he was able to start from the six main departments, which was naturally a golden start, but the top boss was a classmate plus the same year, which made the proud Wang Yusheng feel a little awkward and simply quit.

This person has done a famous thing in his life, that is, to give Emperor Wanli a letter "Wine and Wealth".

Lin Tailai said with great satisfaction: "After you decide on the appointment of the two directors alone, the work situation can be opened." This is my chance for you, thank me more? ”

Chen Yunjian is relatively long-sleeved and good at dancing, and it is not surprising that he can hear some rumors when he is observing politics in the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

Lin Tailai took out a note, on which were written the names of Chen Yunjian and Shen Hui, and instructed: "I have two people in the same year, and you arrange them to be the head of the Ministry of Rites together." ”

At that time, I sent it over secretly, but I didn't expect the news to spread in the end.

After learning of Wang Yusheng's intention, Shen Shoufu said in surprise: "Why don't you just look for Lin Jiuyuan?" Aren't you all in the same boat? ”

Standing on the side and glancing around, he didn't see Wu Zhengzhi, who was Gu Xiancheng's fellow villager and had spread negative news in the crowd, Lin Tailai nodded with satisfaction.

Shen Shoufu happened to be fine tonight, so he met with Wang Yusheng and said a few more words.

It's not like you don't know what the inside of the ministry is like, and who the people are in each department. ”

Shen Shoufu was already sitting in the study and waiting, and when he saw Lin Tailai, he didn't shudder, so he said directly:

In the music of the Ming Dynasty, this "Wine and Wealth" was very famous in later generations, almost second only to Hai Rui's "Public Security Shu".

At night, when Lin Tailai, who was full of blood and blood, was tossing and turning, seriously considering whether he needed to take a concubine in the capital, he suddenly received an urgent call from the senior of Shoufu.

It is no wonder that under the hands of people like Wei Zhongxian, they can steadily hold the imperial history of the left capital and the book of the ministry.

"It's none of your business! Go aside! Lin Tailai unceremoniously refused.

Anyway, Master Chen's attitude was very enthusiastic, "There's a good errand here, I'll miss you!" ”

"This should work, right?" Lin Tailai asked again.

People have their own personalities, there are people like Zhou Yingqiu, naturally there are people like Wang Yusheng, and Lin Tailai doesn't care.

According to incomplete statistics, the probability of being a minister who has been taught in the inner study hall is as high as one-third in the future.

When the other friends were still hesitating slightly, Zhou Yingqiu, the historical Pig's Trotter General Xian and the Japanese Ten Thousand Heavenly Officials, immediately took the lead and said: "As long as Brother Lin allows, I am willing to do this main thing!" ”

This morning, after Lin Tailai entered the Hanlin Academy, he happened to meet Tian Yijun to lecture Shu Jishi.

The main content is to directly criticize the Wanli Emperor from the four aspects of wine, sex, wealth, and gas, and the style of writing is fierce and almost reprimanded.

But Lin Tailai still doesn't understand, what is Shen Shoufu calling himself for?

This letter is on the top, that is also the Wanli Emperor and other ministers fighting, and then the cabinet is in the middle of the reconciliation, what does it have to do with him Lin Tailai?

I heard Shen Shoufu continue: "In the song, I won't mention the other contents first, and there is a paragraph that accuses the emperor of being greedy for money.

In the afternoon, Lin Tailai went to the Ministry of Rites. And the Ministry of Rites is a good place in that "the land is vast and sparsely populated".

After saying the most important thing, everyone laughed and chatted while eating and drinking.

Shen Shixing reminded: "When you mutinied in Xuanfu Town, where did the 20,000 taels of family property that the former governor allowed to collect money go? ”

After three rounds of drinking, Lin Tailai spoke: "The host and guest division set up one Langzhong, one outsider, and two principals according to the system, and they were all deposed a while ago.

In Lin Tailai's mouth, the words "you newcomers" are said very naturally, and others don't think it's strange.

No other officials have arrived, only the scribes cautiously chatted with Lin Langzhong.

After the future became clear, Chen Yunjian, who was excited, talked a little too much, and said: "According to my observation in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, there may be some imperial histories in tandem, and I don't know what I plan to do." ”

There are words about torture eunuchs and blackmailing ministers, torture eunuchs should refer to Zhang Whale, and is blackmailing ministers a metaphor for you? ”

Wang Xiangmeng: "."

It is rumored that the little aunt in Suzhou is mixed in the hall, is it finally going to be used in the six parts?

Lin Tailai asked in wonder, "What good errand can the Hanlin Academy have now?" ”

Dong Qichang, who is also a Shujishi, naturally doesn't have to express his position, so the two main positions are actually asking Wang Yusheng, Chen Yunjian, and Shen Hu.

Wang Xiangmeng asked with great interest, "What is the best plan for the little uncle?" ”

Looking at the compound, Lin Langzhong suddenly sighed: "It's a pity that it's not used to practice guns in such a good place, take a big gun and put it in front of my room tomorrow." ”

Moreover, this letter is also one of the symbolic notes of the Wanli Dynasty, and the study of the antagonistic emotions of the monarchs and ministers of the Wanli Dynasty and the change of mentality of the Wanli Emperor will definitely not be able to bypass this note.

It's just that I'm embarrassed to let Lin Tai arrange it, so I'm looking for the old head to assist you!

Then he was called over by Master Chen, who was in charge of the academy, and he didn't know what was going on.

Wang Xiangmeng: "."

The Hanlin Academy was for the emperor, and its greatest privilege was to be closer to the emperor than other departments.

Under normal circumstances, it is Lin Tailai who urgently visits Shoufu, and it is rare that Shoufu urgently summons Lin Tailai.

In fact, when he heard the name "Yu Yuren", Lin Tailai understood what was going on.

It is rare for Zhou Yingqiu to have the same opinion as Wang Yusheng, "This statement is reasonable, Brother Lin is too popular, and it is easy to be robbed." ”

If you ask it, it is disrespectful to Wang Xiangqian, the governor of Xuanfu Town, Wang Xiangmeng, the secretary of the Ministry of Literature, and Yu Shenxing, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites.

Lin Tailai explained: "I took the initiative to send it to the eunuch of Xuanfu Town for safekeeping, and I was not blackmailed!" ”

Although everyone has only been in the DPRK for more than two months, Lin Tailai's experience of more than two months has not been able to withstand others for 20 years, and he can't accept it.

After the two of them glanced at each other, they all thanked Lin Tailai.

Wang Situ had a social, but he was not at home at this time, so he could only have tea with Wang Xiangmeng, a newly appointed member of the Ministry of Literature and Selection.

Not only is the number of officials small, but the number of people who come to do business is also smaller than that of other yamen. The host and guest divisions are independent of a compound, and it is also very quiet at this time.

Dealing with these old bureaucrats, you really can't relax at all, and if you are not careful, you will be exploited.

Lin Tailai nodded: "Hiding is definitely going to hide, haven't you seen that I have been writing homesick poems recently, this is foreshadowing." ”

"Don't go!" Lin Tailai replied succinctly.

Wang Xiangmeng said from the bottom of his heart: "It must be useful." ”

Shen Shoufu said solemnly: "Are you going to explain it to the world like this? ”

Wang Yusheng suddenly said: "Lin Jiuyuan, you should take leave to go home for a few months, otherwise you will always jump like this, and the dispute over the country will affect you sooner or later." ”

With Lin Tailai's current prestige, as long as this sentence is released, no one will dare to be Lin Tailai's subordinate.

There are rules in the Ming officialdom, and Suzhou people can't go to the household department

After several twists and turns, Lin Tailai finally forcibly planted the flag in the Ministry of Rites, and then called a gathering of friends in the same year.

Although Wang Yusheng couldn't let go of the shelves of famous families, and he was embarrassed to be Lin Tailai's subordinate, the two of them didn't mind.

Master Chen seemed to be very happy for Lin Tailai and said: "There is a lack of a teacher in the Inner Study Hall, I can recommend you to go, this is one of the best errands in the Hanlin Academy."

If I agree without thinking about it today, wouldn't it be equivalent to clearing up with Mr. Chen?

Excluding Hanlin and Shu Jishi, after the new science and technology of the Ming Dynasty ended his observation of politics, the best result was to stay in Beijing, followed by the release of the county and the promotion of officials.

Lin Tailai said disapprehantly: "What else can be the reason for the tandem recently? There is no other major event, it can only be related to the dispute over the national capital.

Isn't that right? In his impression of "Wine and Wealth" in his previous life, there should be no words like "blackmailing ministers"?

What is the inexplicable butterfly effect that can make "Wine and Wealth" have more sentences?

Wang Yusheng: "."

So Lin Tailai knew that something terrible must have happened, so he hurriedly got up and rode to the Shen Mansion.

Lin Tailai seemed to know what others were thinking, and said, "Don't make a fuss, I also put a big gun in the Champion Hall of the Hanlin Academy." ”

Therefore, Lin Tailai has to sigh, as a dog, Zhou Yingqiu is really the best.

Zhou Yingqiu is now a Shu Jishi studying in the Hanlin Academy, if he gives up Shu Jishi to be the head of the ministry, it will be a self-destructive future in the officialdom, what are you doing to join in this excitement?

Of course, Lin Tailai also knew that Zhou Yingqiu's statement was definitely not sincere, but listening to it in his ears made him very comfortable.

asked Chen Yunjian and Shen Hui again: "The opportunity is rare, so it's the two of you?" ”

When I really need it, I will naturally take the initiative to talk about it, and usually you don't have to care about the things you owe me a favor. ”

Lin Tailai instantly realized where the subtleties were.

If you take the initiative to send it, then you can't have a reputation, and you will be morally sprayed to death;

If he denies taking the initiative to send it, won't he sit on the "emperor blackmailing ministers" in the real song, then what will the emperor think of himself?

The one who stepped on the horse was really hit by Wang Yusheng's crow's mouth, and the Qingliu forces competed with the emperor, and finally affected themselves!
