Originally, in history, the dispute over the national capital, which lasted for more than ten years, was a very complicated event.

This is not only a question of who to appoint as the crown prince, but also mixed with various elements such as party struggle between ministers, power games between monarchs and ministers, emotional venting, and speculation.

In the face of fierce emotional confrontation, no workaround could be implemented, resulting in a protracted struggle that dragged on for more than a decade before it came to fruition.

The Ming Dynasty in the past ten years is very "wonderful", while carrying out a fierce battle for the national capital in the court, while also fighting the three major expeditions of Wanli.

I have to say that Zhang Juzheng's family background for Daming is quite thick.

In principle, Lin Tailai does not intend to be deeply involved in the dispute over the national capital.

It's no good to stand there, he just wants to fish in troubled waters and grow his power.

And rely on their greatest talents to do their own work in diplomacy.

After this short court meeting, it was a sleepless night for many Qingliu forces.

For example, sacrificing himself and offering "Golden Vase Plum" to the emperor He Zhuoda had insomnia at night and ran to the house of his fellow villager Song Qi to complain.

Song Qi continued: "Wang Sanyu is fine, he didn't say a few words, just a copy of money. For now, it is better to stop the loss in time.

He Zuo is still more enthusiastic and righteous, "If you just ask for more blessings, it will be chilling." ”

When parting, He Zhuo said to Song Qi: "I have a feeling that Lin Tailai is not like any traditional traitor we know. ”

"I'm here today to tell you that I can't stay in the Metropolitan Procuratorate anymore." Wang Yu Shengsheng said without love.

"That's all there is to it, let Qian Yiyi try to protect himself." Although He Zuo still wants to help his colleagues, he can't do anything.

If the boss at the top refuses to come forward to coordinate, no matter how hard he tries, it will be useless.

Song Qi replied: "Qian Yiyi's matter is not serious, it's just that he was caught in favor of the line."

The difference between the two is what I want to say. ”

In the past three years, there have been Fang Wanshan, Xin Zixiu, Cai Shiding, Li Shida, Li Lai, Shi Kunyu, Xu Shuqian, Cui Jingrong, and Chen Tailai, who seem to have leaks.

"It's hard for me to put into words what I mean, but I can make an analogy.

Not only did the strategy fail, but they also caught up with He Zhuo and Yu Yuren, who are still alive but politically dead.

Lin Tailai asked rhetorically: "You can't stay in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, what do you want to talk to me?" I gave you a chance, but you refused. ”

Song Shangshu was puzzled, "What do you mean by not being like?" Because it's more domineering, more arrogant, and more capable of fighting? ”

Fortunately, I listened to it this time, otherwise the consequences would be really hard to say.

After Song Qi failed to compete with Wang Situ for the position of the head of the Ministry of Industry three years ago, he had to retreat to become the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and he has been very low-key all these years.

The worst result for him is to transfer out of Jingshi, and after two or three years, when things fade down, he will be transferred back again, which is the most suitable plan at present. ”

As an outsider who did not go down in person, Song Qi still saw it more clearly:

"If Yu Yuren's recital is not accompanied by Lin Tailai, maybe the result will not be like this. But it's useless to talk about it now. ”

The traditional traitor is like a roadside pick-up, shouting things like 'Your Majesty is here to play'.

But the other strategy Gu Xiancheng said - using a cannon fodder to stir up trouble, and then others pretended to fight to rescue, but failed.

The person who harassed him was Wang Yusheng, who was a classmate in the same year, came from the Dongshan Wang family, and refused to go to the Ministry of Rites to be the director.

Let Qian Yi ask for more blessings, you can't continue to take people in for a copy of "Golden Vase Plum". ”

He Zhuo said helplessly: "Otherwise, what else can I do?" If not, the other four will not be able to survive. ”

How many are these? Although Song Shangshu didn't think that he was old and confused, he did feel that he couldn't count them.

"It's kind of difficult." Song Qi told the truth.

Song Shangshu was a little lucky, not only for himself, but also for the old Wang Jiaping of the Four Pavilions, Lu Guangzu, the secretary of the Criminal Department, Sun Yan of Dali Temple and others.

One or two may not be too much of a concern, but the number is shocking when it is too much!

It's only been three years, and if it goes on like this, I'm afraid that the replenishment and cultivation speed of fellow newcomers will not be able to catch up with the consumption rate at all!

When he thought of this, Song Shangshu suddenly woke up, the Qingliu forces that they had been developing for more than ten years and were not small in scale had begun to face an existential crisis!

It's just facing a Lin Tailai, it's really unreasonable!

He Zhuo said: "It's not a pity for me to wait for mediocre talents, but can I keep the money this time?" ”

Song Shangshu sighed to He Zhuo: "You sacrifice yourself like this, just to ban "Golden Vase Plum", is it worth it?" ”

Now that I'm in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, can I feel better? It's just that those dozens of unkind eyes can make me, a junior newcomer with no job or power, sit still! ”

Wang Yusheng replied: "Originally, it was nothing to observe the government in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, but recently.

You also know that Kedao is the biggest den of those self-proclaimed Qingliu forces, and there are many such officials in the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

Wang Yusheng said helplessly: "I can stay up, but before the end of my political observation period, can you restrain a little bit?" ”

And Lin Tailai can say seriously, Your Majesty, you have been working hard recently, and you are too tired to hurt the dragon's body, so you should be entertained properly.

Lin Tailai, who was reminiscing about the first court meeting and the first court meeting at home, was also harassed.

And many of them have already appeared, and when they gather and join forces again, it is inevitable that they will feel like they are messing around, and they will lose their popularity.

But in the current situation, our own side has suffered heavy losses and demoralization, and it is not easy to gather manpower.

He Ju said again: "Yu Yuren and I plan to resign after a while, and indulge in the mountains and forests in the future." ”

Lin Tailai said with disdain: "They can't eat you again, if you can't even stand this, then what kind of official are you going to do?" ”

In addition, Wang Sanyu, who crossed the line with Lin Tailai, was also in a bad situation, and he must be chased because of "improper words and deeds, favoritism and abolition of the public".

After being admitted to the Jinshi, Wang Yusheng has been observing politics and interning in the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

According to the traditional way of playing, there should be a group of people who are rescued on the road first, stir up hot spots, and then the big guys coordinate in the middle.

Recently, you stabbed these hornet's nests again, and everyone knows about my relationship with you.

Before leaving, Gu Xiancheng suggested that colleagues above the third grade should try to avoid tearing up in person in order to preserve the vitality of the foundation.

"I'm really unambitious." Lin Tailai continued to despise: "If it were me, I would take the opportunity to touch the porcelain and pull one or two old men off the horse, wouldn't the position be vacated?" Isn't it possible to go straight to the top? ”

Wang Yusheng: "."

We are mainstream officials, and we can't compare with non-mainstream officials like Lin Jiuyuan.

At this time, Lin Mansion came to report and said: "There is a person named Wu Zhengzhi, who claims to be the same year as the person who sat in the museum, and is waiting outside the door. ”

Wang Yusheng said suspiciously: "Isn't Wu Zhengzhi the one who was kicked out of Shujishi by you because he slandered you casually?"

How could he take the initiative to visit you? Did you hook up privately? Do you need me to recuse myself? ”

"I don't know." Lin Tailai was also puzzled, "I'll see it first."

After all, they are all nominally the same year, and if you keep out the same year, it will affect the Shilin reputation. ”

Wang Yusheng was quite surprised, Lin Jiuyuan, who was domineering and entered the Tao with martial arts, would still care about the so-called Shilin Feng Commentary?

After a while, I saw Wu Zhengzhi being led into the study.

He saluted Lin Tailai and prayed: "Please Lin Jiuyuan let go of Qian Yiqian senior!" ”

Lin Tailai was a little surprised, he had guessed before that Wu Zhengzhi might have come to beg for mercy; But unexpectedly, Wu Zhengzhi actually begged for mercy for Qian Yi.

Qian Yiyi was in the court when Yu Ren was interrogated, and on the question of "where did the 20,000 taels of silver in Xuanfu go", he named Lin Tailai and the imperial historian who crossed the line.

is now labeled by Lin Tailai as "abusing the power of the official and deliberately favoring private individuals", and he will be sent down at any time.

After thinking about the relationship between Wu Zhengzhi and Qian Yiyi, Lin Tailai also understood a little.

Qian Yiyi is one of the future Eight Gentlemen of Donglin, and Wu Zhengzhi is also a junior in Gu Xiancheng's circle.

Therefore, Wu Zhengzhi helped his predecessor Qian Yiyi to intercede, which is not incomprehensible from a reasonable point of view, but is it too self-sufficient?

Lin Tailai asked sensitively: "What weight do you have, can you help Qian Yiben beg for mercy?" ”

You can't even protect yourself, and you still help your seniors intercede, who do you think you are?

What conditions can you come up with to impress others?

Money? He Lin Tailai is not short of small money, and you can't give it big money!

Belle? He Lin Tailai is not uninformed, and he will not give up his principles in this regard!

Power? In the imperial court, he Lin Tailai was followed by Shoufu and Hubu Shangshu; In Suzhou's hometown, the Lin Mansion is the second imperial court!

Wu Zhengzhi gritted his teeth and said: "My family has a collection of the famous painting "Fuchun Mountain Residence", and I would like to give it to you!" ”

Lin Tailai: "."

People can't just know how to pursue money, beauty, and power, and can't become slaves to desires, it's time to improve their artistic literacy.

Lin Tailai asked, "This painting is in your house?" ”

The excitement is not because of how valuable the painting "Fuchun Mountain Residence" is, but mainly because of the artistic value of this painting.

Wu Zhengzhi replied very affirmatively: ""Fuchun Mountain Residence Map" has been circulating in Changzhou Mansion in recent decades, and it was bought by my family a few years ago. ”

At this time, the value of famous paintings was not as great as it was hundreds of years later, but it was still very valuable.

So Lin Tailai said honestly: "It's a bit expensive." ”

Wu Zhengzhi replied: "If Lin Jiuyuan thinks that this painting is valuable, he can let me go back to the Hanlin Academy as a Jishi and ensure that my museum is selected as the Hanlin Academy!" ”

Lin Tailai frowned and thought for a while, then agreed: "It's okay, I'll do my best." ”

Gold has a price, art is priceless, for the sake of art, you can be accommodating.

Wu Zhengzhi finally showed joy on his face and promised: "As long as I return to Shujishi, I will immediately ask my family to send the "Fuchun Mountain Residence Map" to Suzhou Linfu!" ”

Although in the eyes of their Qingliu forces, Lin Tailai is a bad person, they also have to admit that Lin Tailai's political reputation is very strong.

I heard that Li Rusong gave Lin Tailai a box of silver, but after only waiting for half a month, Lin Tailai abolished the money collected by the governor of Xuanfu.

After Wu Zhengzhi left, Wang Yusheng immediately said to Lin Tai: "Our Dongshan Wang family is willing to pay a lot of money."

"Shut up!" Lin Tailai directly interrupted Wang Yusheng's delusions, and there was no need to listen to the rest of the words.

Wang Yusheng couldn't help but sigh: "Lin Jiuyuan, you have changed, and you have begun to become soft-hearted.

Didn't you say that against the real enemy, you must eliminate all the evil and kill them all, otherwise the spring breeze will blow and grow again, and leeks will always grow?

I didn't expect you to give up your principles today for a picture of "Fuchun Mountain Residence". ”

Lin Tailai said profoundly: "As the saying goes, the avenue is fifty, the sky is forty-nine, and people are one of them." There must always be a glimmer of life.

I do this to set an example to others, to let others know that there is a way to go besides fighting and begging for mercy.

lest the enemy think that there is no way out, and then they can only resist to the death, but they will not lose more than they gain. ”

Wang Yusheng understood, "What do you mean is that if there is no expensive item of the grade of "Fuchun Mountain Residence Map", don't come to beg for mercy?" ”

Lin Tailai said dissatisfiedly: "Are you really blinded by a famous painting, and you can't see the truth behind it at all?"

I let Wu Zhengzhi and Qian Yiyi go, but also to preserve the vitality of the Qingliu forces and ensure that the temple pattern is not too unbalanced.

If the Qingliu power is too weakened, who will cover me to increase my strength? Who's going to do it for me? ”

Wang Yu said sourly: "It's another set of rhetoric about playing big chess?"

Didn't you just fall in love with the painting "Fuchun Mountain Residence"? Is it so hard to face your heart? ”

Lin Tailai said angrily: "If there is no me, your emotional intelligence will be at most four grades in your career!"

You will never see the scenery above the third grade, and you will not be able to be a master for a lifetime! ”

And the next day, Lin Tailai came to the Hanlin Academy and found the executive deputy head of the academy and the Shujishi teacher Xi Tian Yijuntian.

Then he made a very sincere request: "Recently, I have reflected on it, and if Wu Zhengzhi is expelled from the ranks of the Shujishi just because of a few words, it is a very irresponsible act for the state to select materials.

We must give newcomers the opportunity to make mistakes, and we must also give newcomers the opportunity to correct themselves.

In any case, a newcomer should not be beaten to death by a small mistake.

Therefore, I suggest that Wu Zhengzhi be re-absorbed, and after criticism and education, he will continue to study in the Hanlin Academy as a Shujishi. ”

Mr. Tian: "."

It was you who wanted to drive people out at the beginning, and now it's you who wants to recruit people back, what do you want?

"Do you want to give you the job of teaching this Gurishi?" Mr. Tian said faintly.

For an honest person with a slight social phobia, this is the most yin and yang thing he can say.

Lin Tailai hurriedly refused: "Then there is no need, after all, my qualifications are hard injuries." In another three years, the next subject may be difficult. ”

Mr. Tian was speechless, and said as if in another three years, your qualifications would be hard?

How many people have been hanging in the Hanlin Academy for one or two decades, and they haven't even touched the five products, after all, the cap of the Hanlin Academy is the five products.

By the way, Lin Jiuyuan is now a fifth grade? That's fine.

A few days later, there were rumors in Jingshi that Lin Jiuyuan, who was still a supernova in the court, liked celebrity paintings.

Quietly, the frequency of calligraphy and painting transactions in Beijing increased, and the price rose by two percent.
