Lin Tailai, who had already stepped out of the threshold with one foot, could only turn around helplessly, walked back slowly, and sat down to drink tea again.
Shen Shixing immediately asked: "Regarding the matter of Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, I heard that you want to recommend Zhao Zhigao?"
Lin Tailai stopped pretending to be stupid and asked directly: "Who does the chief assistant want?"
Shen Shoufu answered clearly: "Xu Xianqing, Minister of Rites."
Lin Tailai sighed and couldn't help complaining: "What's the point of letting Xu Xianqing be the left servant of the Ministry of Civil Affairs?
If Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Civil Affairs does not retire from office, he will have only two options in the future, either to join the cabinet and become a bachelor, or to be promoted to the unique position of Tianguan of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, the head of the outer dynasty.
But now, the cabinet includes you, Prime Minister Shen, the chief minister from your hometown, and Wang Xijue of Taicang, who is also from Suzhou.
Therefore, in order to avoid his fellow villagers, it was impossible for Xu Xianqing to join the cabinet, nor to be promoted to the Tianguan of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. Wouldn't it be a waste of position for him to be the left minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs?
Unless you, Prime Minister Shen, resign, Xu Xianqing will have the possibility of progress. Damn it!"
Speaking of this, Lin Tailai suddenly got stuck.
After that, he subconsciously stood up and angrily condemned Shen Shixing: "You actually want to resign again!"
Just now the chief assistant said that Lin Tailai was resentful, but he was not angry; just now the chief assistant wanted to use Xu Guolai to manipulate Lin Tailai, but he was not angry.
But now that he just guessed that the chief minister had the intention of resigning, Lin Tailai actually jumped up and got angry, pointing at the chief minister and condemning him!
Shen Shixing's face turned dark. Although he is very approachable, you Lin Tailai can't be too insignificant!
Before Shen Shixing could say anything, the eldest son Shen Yongmao suddenly jumped up and followed Lin Tailai, and said loudly to his father anxiously:
"Father! Lin Tailai did not hesitate to go through all obstacles for you. When he was in power, the party was united against dissidents, and when he was in opposition, he fought against his political opponents to the death, making himself enemies everywhere.
But you don’t value the hard work of others, and you want to resign and go back at every turn, which even my son can’t stand looking at!”
Shen Shixing: ""
Lin Tailai: ""
Uncle Shen, why don't you just shout, "I am about to fight to the death, why does Your Majesty surrender first?"
Seeing that the chief assistant seemed to be looking for someone to beat his son, Lin Tailai acted as the peacemaker.
First, he persuaded Shen Yongmao to sit down, "It's not that bad! Prime Minister Shen must also have his own difficulties!"
He blocked Shen Yongmao and said to the chief assistant: "Don't be upset, Mr. Mao! Uncle Mao also has a sincere heart!"
Shen Shixing stood across Lin Tailai and scolded his son: "You know nothing!
By next year, the three-year agreement has arrived! By then, thunder and fire will make it difficult to gain a foothold in the court, and if you are not careful, you will be wiped out!"
At the beginning of the fourteenth year of Wanli, that is, the year when Lin Tailai fought against his relative Zheng Guotai and won the first prize in martial arts, Concubine Zheng gave birth to the emperor's third son.
All the ministers in the dynasty saw their preference for Concubine Zheng and the third son of the emperor, so they urged the emperor to appoint the eldest son of the emperor to the East Palace. At that time, conflicts broke out between the emperor and his ministers.
After Lin Tailai won the top prize in martial arts, he quickly slipped back to Suzhou without being further involved.
Later, the helpless Emperor Wanli used a delaying strategy and agreed with his ministers that since the emperor's eldest son was still young, he was afraid of the risk of premature death and would wait until three years to see again.
This is the "three-year agreement" that Shen Shoufu just mentioned, and next year, in the seventeenth year of Wanli, the three-year agreement will expire.
Anyone with a modicum of political judgment can predict that next year the dispute over national origin will definitely resurface, marking the peak period of conflict between monarch and ministers.
Moreover, the intensity is definitely much higher than three years ago, and may even be weaker than the great ceremony in the early years of the Jiajing Dynasty.
The great ceremony is for the emperor's father, and the national dispute is for the emperor's son.
When the positions of the monarch and his ministers are irreconcilable, it seems understandable that the chief minister caught in the middle wants to resign to avoid the thunder.
It doesn't matter if you resign, as long as someone recommends you again, you can be reinstated.
Lin Tailai was in a daze for a while, and Shen Shixing couldn't help but ask, "What are you thinking about?"
Lin Tailai punched the armrest of the chair and exclaimed a little exaggeratedly: "I suddenly remembered that when I was taking the first prize in martial arts, I had a personal feud with my cousin Zheng's family. The Zheng family and I were at odds with each other!"
Shen Shixing: ""
You, Lin Tailai, have such a dark heart! Even if it is revenge, it should be the Zheng family seeking revenge from you, right?
Then I heard Lin Tai say: "Since I have come to the capital, I should seek revenge from the Zheng family! But fifty or sixty people may not be enough, and we need to transfer another hundred people from Suzhou!"
Shen Yongmao next to him was speechless. Do you, Lin Tailai, want to take revenge, or do you want to continue to stir up trouble and deepen hatred?
Besides, you, Lin Tailai, are about to take the liberal arts exam. Are you still worried about the revenge of Wu Zhuangyuan?
Don't think he can't see it. You, Lin Tailai, just want to step on the Zheng family to gain hatred!
When the dispute over the foundation of the country comes, there will be "reasonable" excuses to oppose the establishment of the emperor's third son as the Eastern Palace, and the emperor will have to express his understanding!
Then Lin Tailai sighed again, "Given the current situation, the Zheng family will definitely try to be patient for the sake of the overall situation.
Therefore, if you want to seek revenge from the Zheng family, you need to carefully consider some methods so that the Zheng family can fight back and have a fierce conflict with me."
Shen Yongmao shook his head and criticized unbearably: "Lin Tailai, what you are doing is too unkind and you are bullying the Zheng family too much!"
"Shut up!" Shen Shoufu scolded the big boy directly.
Then he asked Lin Tailai with great interest: "How do you want to provoke the Zheng family? No, is it revenge? Can you drag me into the water and join in?"
Shen Yongmao: ""
Today I saw with my own eyes how the gentle and elegant father of the number one scholar failed in his studies.
Also, let’s not talk about the matter of Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Civil Affairs?
