But Lin Tailai hurried on, regardless of these avoidance rules, he immediately mounted his horse and whipped his horse, dashed away from the leader on the opposite side very arrogantly, and passed by the sedan.
Lu Shangshu was so angry that he said to his friends at the banquet: "There are five kinds of strange people in the capital today. They don't know how to wait for authority, they have no respect and inferiority, and they don't avoid the big sedan chair. There are five kinds of people and animals!"
One is a young eunuch, the second is an old woman, the third is an elephant entering the court, the fourth is a commoner, and the fifth one is Lin Tailai who rides on the horse!"
Lin Tailai didn't know that he had become one of the "Five Black Categories", and he didn't get off his horse until he arrived at Zhao Zhigao's residence.
Old man Zhao seemed to know that Lin Tailai would definitely come, so he sat in the front hall and waited.
When he saw Lin Tai coming, he smiled bitterly and said: "Since I took the great scholar as my assistant minister, I'm afraid I have never had such a deserted person enter the cabinet."
When he entered the cabinet this time, he really received no attention at all, which caused a gap in his heart.
On the one hand, it is because there are two big holes in the Ministry of Personnel, and all the attention of all the court officials is on the Ministry of Personnel.
On the other hand, it may be that most people subconsciously feel that they, a 67-year-old newcomer, are a transitional figure.
There is a high probability that I won't be able to work for long and will still be ranked fourth and last, so I don't need to pay too much attention to it.
Lin Tailai consoled him: "This just shows that you are what everyone expects. Everyone has already accepted it, so they are not surprised."
Who knew that this old man could work for ten years without the support of time travellers?
As a twenty-three-year-old young man, after the fifty-six-year-old first assistant, I also have to provide psychological training for a sixty-seven-year-old man, which is tiring.
As he spoke, he casually glanced at the imperial edict for entering the pavilion to study it first.
After receiving this imperial edict, Zhao Zhigao, the Zuo Shilang (actual title) of the Ministry of Personnel, became the Zuo Shilang (virtual title) of the Ministry of Personnel and a bachelor of Dongge. He entered Wenyuan Pavilion to do preparatory work.
"I felt relieved when I saw the words "pre-maintenance maintenance." Lin Tailai said casually.
Zhao Zhigao: "?"
I don’t understand at all. What does this mean? Are there still cabinet bachelors who don’t do maintenance work?
"It doesn't mean anything else! It was just a slip of the tongue!" Lin Tailai said, "From today on, you are the elder of Si Ge, or Zhao Si for short!"
Zhao Zhigao laughed "hehe" a few times. In front of Lin Tailai, Zhao Zhigao had no airs.
Of course, this is also Lin Tailai's most appreciated advantage.
After the congratulations, Lin Tailai pushed the manuscript in his arms to Zhao Zhigao and said: "The draft of the Sinner's Edict has been written for you. You can modify it and use it at your own discretion. As long as the general idea remains unchanged."
Zhao Zhigao was a little surprised. What more could be said about such an official document as the Sin Ji Zhao?
But I still took it, maybe this was Lin Tailai's "loyalty test", there was no need to ask for trouble.
After reading it, Zhao Zhigao said a little uncertainly: "Is it okay to just write about you like this?"
Lin Tailai said calmly: "There's nothing wrong with it. Your Majesty just wants me to be in the limelight. It's okay!"
The next day, Zhao Zhigao got up early, his face seemed to be glowing.
Regardless of whether others pay attention or not, whether they despise or not, he has joined the cabinet anyway! He can also be honored as Prime Minister Zhao!
Looking back five years ago, I was just a low-ranking Hanlin scholar living in Nanjing.
At that time, I never imagined that I would be able to join the cabinet five years later at the age of sixty-seven!
The process of history is important, but Lin Tailai's efforts are even more important.
After passing through Chang'an Right Gate, Chengtian Gate, Duanmen, Meridian Gate, Huiji Gate, Cabinet Courtyard Gate, and Wenyuan Pavilion Gate, we finally entered the dark Wenyuan Pavilion.
Considering that the emperor had his office in the Wenhua Hall, Wenyuan Pavilion is an extremely rare layout with the south facing north, and the main door faces the Wenhua Hall in the north.
Therefore, Wenyuan Pavilion has extremely poor lighting and is dim all year round, and candles are often lit during the day.
Because Shen Da was still at home, only the two elders, Wang Er and Wang San, greeted the new colleague Zhao Si in the middle hall.
In fact, Zhao Zhigao still felt a little inferior to the elders such as Shen Da, Wang Er, and Wang San.
There are two factors in this. First, Zhao Zhigao did not pass the Jinshi examination until he was forty-five years old, while others who applied for admission to the university entered the cabinet at the age of forty-five.
Although Mr. Zhao can be praised for being the top pick, Shen Da is the top pick and Wang Er is the second pick.
Second, although Zhao Zhigao was born in the Imperial Academy, he spent most of his time on the streets and never served as an official for Emperor Wanli. This was a big shortcoming.
And Shen Da, Wang Er, and Wang San all served as lecturers for Emperor Wanli when he was a boy, and they crushed Zhao Zhigao in the chain of contempt within the Imperial Academy.
Others had been frequenting the inner court as officials more than ten years ago, but Zhao Zhigao only came in for the first time when he was more than sixty years old.
So in the middle hall of Wenyuan Pavilion, after Zhao Si, Wang Er and Wang San paid homage to each other, they still felt a little uneasy.
I was so anxious that I didn't know what to say for a moment, for fear of being looked down upon and also afraid of being laughed at.
Subconsciously blurted out: "Lin Tailai asked me to pass on a message, please don't interfere in the affairs of the official department!"
Wang Er: "."
Wang San: "."
Damn it! You, this old man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, are really not a good person. You really look like a traitor from the Lin Party who broke into Wenyuan Pavilion!
