The court meeting seems to have reached an impasse, originally the five officials wanted to hold high the banner of morality and ban "Golden Vase Plum", this is a routine they have always been very good at, and they have tried everything.

Whoever dares to oppose the ban of this book is a person of moral decay!

But they didn't expect that after raising the banner of morality, Lin Tailai would actually ask them to take responsibility for it.

If you still need to pay something, isn't that just a moral banner?

So the five officials were silenced again, why can't Lin Tailai be like a normal villain with a routine?

Anyway, if you talk to the emperor about "Golden Vase Plum", you can't agree to die, what they pursue is to show themselves in the world and leave a name in history, not to leave a stench for thousands of years!

The last minister who presented Xiao Huangwen to the emperor was Wan An, the head of the Chenghua Dynasty, who has been beaten into the shame of a civil servant and will never be able to turn over!

In the end, it was Lin Tailai who broke the deadlock, and he questioned these officials:

"Since you have asked for the "Golden Vase of Plums" to be a banned book, but you are unwilling to help the Holy Lord interpret the nature of the content of this book, what are your intentions?

Do you just want the Holy One to do without knowing it, like a marionette, according to your proposal?

In doing so, you are deliberately deceiving the Holy One, trying in vain to manipulate authority, and committing the crime of deceiving the king! ”

After saying this, Lin Tailai stopped, and his eyes drifted to the wall of the king of the household book.

Lin Tailai replied: "The minister recommended that Yu Yuren be promoted to the Department of General Administration, and he will be in charge of the collection and submission to show His Majesty's strength!" ”

In the future, the image of He Yushi in the history books is to present "Golden Vase Plum" to the emperor. For the Qingliu forces who flaunt their reputations, this kind of sacrifice is not insignificant.

Lin Tailai played directly: "He Zhuo asked for the ban on "Golden Vase Plum" for meritorious work, and it should be commended!" ”

At this time, Wang Situ suddenly woke up and said: "These five people are vain in their words and deeds, and they are suspected of bullying the king, so they are not suitable for being science and technology officials, and they should be transferred out of Beijing." ”

Seeing that Wang Situ was still "indifferent", Lin Tailai's eyes gradually changed to "death gaze".

I only ask Your Majesty to understand the poison of this book, and strictly prohibit this book! ”

There are not only political opportunists in it, but there are also people who are not afraid of death and dare to sacrifice.

Lin Tailai was also quite surprised, this was the first time he had witnessed someone who took the initiative to sacrifice himself in order to protect his colleagues since he had battled wits and courage with the Qingliu forces.

Shen Shoufu's heart was sour, in the usual court meetings, the emperor's highest priority should have been "what Mr. Shen thinks".

Didn't He Zhuo just scrap your weapon "Golden Vase Plum", you have already knocked him over, and you have to step on it again.

Emperor Wanli also felt a little unbearable, and asked again: "What should I do with Yu Yuren?" ”

Emperor Wanli was afraid that he would laugh out loud, so he couldn't help but cover his mouth and said vaguely: "You just say what to do!" ”

Everyone is speechless, what is the punishment of the heart? That's it! You Lin Tai come and be a person!

"Ah, what does Lin Tailai think?" After all, Emperor Wanli was still a young man less than thirty years old, and he didn't know how to face it at this time, so he subconsciously asked Lin Tailai.

Then Lin Tailai played again: "Regarding the left commentator of Dali Temple, although he imitated the golden bottle plum to write the recital, the minister still advised His Majesty to be generous!" ”

Lin Tailai could only sigh secretly, it was not for nothing that the Qingliu forces, including the later evolved version of the Donglin Party, were so tenacious.

Somehow, everyone felt a feeling of being "forced to become a prostitute" from Wang Situ

After Wang Situ spoke, before Emperor Wanli could react, He Zhuo, the leading elder brother of the five officials, stepped forward again and said excitedly:

"He Zhuo is willing to dedicate a book and explain it, and there is no need to alarm others about such things!

Everyone looked at Wang Situ in amazement, and they had the impression that this was the first time that Wang Situ had been so sharp in the court.

Lin Tailai added: "Yesterday's Wang Sanyu and Qian Yiyi were the same. ”

This situation surprised the rest of the palace, He Yushi obviously took the initiative to sacrifice himself in order to avoid several officials in the same column being wiped out!

Under Lin Tailai's fabrication of accusations, if he refuses to "take responsibility", it is all a crime of bullying.

Wang Situ did not react at first, he was mainly a business-oriented bureaucrat in the imperial court, and rarely intervened in other affairs.

As of yesterday, most people think that Lin Tailai is secretly in Yuren's performance, and he is looking for trouble.

In terms of character relationships, Luo Yuren is the perpetrator, and Lin Tailai is the victim.

But the magic is that Lin Tailai, as the victim, once again made everyone sympathize with the perpetrator today.

The position responsible for receiving and presenting the performance is to deal with all the government offices, and the exposure is very high.

Let Yu Yuren, who was identified as imitating the golden bottle plum writing sparse, go to this post with high exposure to people and people, and the content of the work is still to send and receive the sparse, and its embarrassment can be imagined.

As the saying goes, the laity punish the body, and the saint punishes the heart. This Lin Tailai is not a saint, why does he love the heart so much?

After watching the fun, Emperor Wanli asked the eunuch to announce that "nothing has happened".

According to the normal procedure, the emperor should withdraw first, and then the other ministers disperse.

However, Emperor Wanli was fat and strong, his legs and feet were not good, and his walking image was not good, so he was unwilling to go first in front of the ministers.

So let the ministers withdraw first, and when everyone is gone, the emperor will get up again.

But today, when the ministers walked outside the palace, a eunuch suddenly came out in a hurry and said, "The emperor has decreed that Lin Tailai and Mr. Shen will stay first!" ”

Shen Shixing burst out with the momentum of Shoufu and asked, "Why is Lin Tailai's name before me?" ”

Messenger eunuch: "."

Worst! There has been a major work mistake! I didn't know what to think just now. By the way, Lin Tailai's name was pronounced first!

When the other ministers heard this, they were both contemptuous and envious.

What I despise is that these people who remain are going to welcome the emperor again without discipline!

In front of the emperor in public, for the sake of the face of the literati, there will definitely be some moderation, but when talking in private, it is not easy to say!

Envy, why is it not yourself who remains?

Shen Shixing and Lin Tailai stood outside the hall again, waiting to be summoned.

Taking advantage of the waiting, Shen Shixing asked Lin Tailai, "This is the first time you have been holy in private, right?" How do you feel at this time? ”

Lin Tailai replied philosophically: "I will treat every time I meet the saint as the last time we meet." ”

Shen Shixing's eyes widened in fright, why are you Lin Tailai always sensational? Are you cursing yourself, or are you cursing the emperor?

Lin Tailai was not easy to explain, so he jumped to metaphysics and said: "In another year or two, you will understand, old-timers." ”

What he thought in his heart was that with the virtue of Emperor Wanli, maybe from one day onwards, he would not see the minister for thirty years.

Therefore, every time you see the emperor, you must be mentally prepared to see you for the last time.

After that, another eunuch came and announced that the two of them went to the palace.

But as soon as the two of them walked into the hall, they heard a sentence floating from the depths of the hall: "Dongchang needs a talent like him." ”

When Lin Tailai heard it, he couldn't help but shudder, who is this talking about?

In the hall, the Wanli Emperor was talking to Zhu Bingbi, the celebrant of ceremonies.

After the fall of Zhang Whale, Sun Xian, the eunuch of Bingbi, who acted as the agent of Dongchang's affairs, said with a bitter face: "Emperor! The minister is stupid by nature, and he is indeed not suitable for presiding over the East Factory. ”

Emperor Wanli said: "You take care of it first, and then talk about it when you have the right talent."

I often don't know what kind of person is suitable to be in charge of the factory guard, and you dogs who come out of the inner study always feel that something is missing. ”

Sun Xian took the initiative to recommend: "You can follow Lin Jiuyuan's style as a model to find a similar one, and Dongchang needs talents like him." ”

Seeing Shen Shixing and Lin Tailai, Emperor Wanli took the initiative to ask: "Lin Tailai, do you have any children?" Do you have many children? ”

Lin Tailai suddenly shook his tiger body! When the emperor came up, he first asked himself if he had any heirs, whether there were many heirs, what did it mean?

Shen Shixing was also surprised and inexplicable, the emperor wouldn't really have a heart of "love for talent", right?

Zhang Cheng frowned and shouted, "Lin Tailai!" Why did Jun Qian lose his temper and not reply quickly? ”

Lin Tai came back to his senses and hurriedly replied: "The minister already has three sons, and there is still one person waiting to be given birth." ”

Emperor Wanli gossiped and said: "At your age, this is not a lot"

Lin Tailai hurriedly replied: "It's not enough!" The minister made a vow to his father that he would raise nine sons in this life and spread out for the Lin family!

Therefore, it is still necessary to leave it to be useful, and the roots of breeding are inevitable! ”

Emperor Wanli: "."

Did Lin Tailai misunderstand something? Shouldn't the mistake be wrong?

The celebrant and the master of ceremonies stared at Lin Tailai in unison, who do you look down on? Whose godson and righteous son are more capable than others?

Zhang Cheng, the eunuch of the palm print, shouted: "Lin Tailai is going to talk nonsense!" The emperor is just thinking, give your son a grace! ”

It scared people to death just now! Lin Tailai immediately breathed a sigh of relief, if only it was for Enyin! The more the merrier!

Emperor Wanli decreed: "Shade a brocade guard thousand households!" ”

This is a very common operation, and those who are military attaches in the descendants of Enyin are generally named to Jinyiwei and can be hereditary.

If it is shaded to the civil office, it is generally Shangbaosi, or Guanglu Temple or the like, but it cannot be hereditary.

Speaking of this, Emperor Wanli thought of something, "Lin Tailai, you also have a martial arts reputation, you can be a military attaché."

In recent years, Jinyiwei has been really unbearable, I don't know if you have the idea of going to Jinyiwei to take charge, I think you have the ability to be the commander of the guard. ”

Lin Tailai: "."

Speaking of which, the emperor still wants to let himself go to the factory guard

In the face of the emperor's inquiry, it was impossible to refuse hard, Lin Tailai could only say:

"The minister is in the Hanlin Academy and the official etiquette department, and he is feeling very good at present, and he is intending to make a career in office."

Emperor Wanli did not dwell on this issue, and suddenly asked directly:

"Can Lin Tailai answer my questions, why are some courtiers obsessed with fighting for the country?

Although the eldest brother is the oldest, his background is still a concubine, is it worth fighting for by the courtiers? ”

Lin Tailai understands very well that this is an "exam question", and if he fails to answer, the good impression he has accumulated in the emperor's heart will be gone.

There are many explanations for the motives of the Qingliu forces to fight for the country's capital one after another, and anyone who knows a little bit about history can say anything.

It's not difficult to find a mediocre answer that doesn't make mistakes, but it's not easy to find an answer that can seem to be beyond the level of these people in the palace, and can meet the emperor's taste, and has depth and is not too clichéd.

Normal answer: This generation flaunts the Qing Dynasty, claims to be loyal, and speculates on Zhu Changluo, the eldest son of the emperor, hoping to follow the dragon's merits.

The second forced answer: This is because they have path dependence, they started from anti-Zhang Juzheng, and they have become accustomed to opposing for the sake of opposition.

As for Lin Tailai's answer, he thought about it very cautiously for a moment before he answered:

"Those people let go of the fight for the country, even at the cost of losing one colleague after another, in order to firmly hold on to their moral stance.

In this case, the other ministers will be coerced by them, and must nominally be on their side, or at least not against them.

At the same time, only by setting up a clear target of the enemy can we continue to stir up hot spots, stir up people's hearts, unite our colleagues, and strengthen our forces in an atmosphere of fierce opposition and in an atmosphere of common hatred and hatred!

This is also in line with the way of the saints who are "born in sorrow", and fighting for the country is the "sorrow" they create!

Conversely, if they don't, what will they do to rally and consolidate their own power?

Even if they don't fight for the country, they will look for another target as an enemy, and hype this target to the point that it is no less than fighting for the country!

Therefore, the struggle for the country itself is not the essence of the problem, but the necessity for the emerging forces to rise and seize power. ”

Emperor Wanli was stunned, he just asked Lin Tailai to talk casually, but he didn't expect to hear such words that seemed to be profound.

Some places are understood, and some parts are half-understood, and they still need to be pondered repeatedly.

Then Emperor Wanli asked again: "You really don't want to go to Jinyi Wei to take charge?" ”

Lin Tailai: "."

He really didn't know, should he try his best or should he be modest?

I could only reply euphemistically: "The minister serves in the Hanlin Academy, and he is the same as the minister of the attendant advisor, so why stick to the status of Jinyiwei's pro-army!" ”

Emperor Wanli shook his head regretfully, waved his hand and said, "If you have nothing to do, just retreat!" ”

Shousuke, who had no sense of existence for a long time, coughed a few times heavily, indicating that he was still there!

Your Majesty, did you leave your Shoufu just to eat ashes on the side?

After Lin Tailai withdrew from the palace, Emperor Wanli finally patronized Shen Shoufu, "Mr. Shen also think about it, is there really no way to let Lin Tailai be the commander of the guard?" ”

Shen Shixing: "."

Is this what is it for the sake of asking a head assistant to come over and talk to him?

If it was a public occasion, Shen Shixing, as a representative of Wenchen, would definitely oppose the emperor's idea.

But in private, it is still necessary to fool and be fooled, and there is no need to be too serious with the emperor.

So after Shen Shixing thought about it, he played like a fool: "Lin Tailai acted aggressively, his methods were violent, and there will always be a day when the public will be angry, so please be patient with Your Majesty."

If Lin Tailai really reaches the point where he can no longer be accommodated, His Majesty can take advantage of the situation to remove Lin Tailai's current official position, and then transfer him to the military position to Jinyiwei. ”

Emperor Wanli believed it and nodded: "Mr. Shen is reasonable, Lin Tailai is only in his early twenties, and I can afford to wait." ”
