Under the strong intervention of Shen Shoufu, there was no drama for Dongchaofang, and the other ministers dispersed.
Shen Shoufu did not move, and Lin Tailai also remained silent with a tacit understanding. In the end, only these two people were left in the open space outside the east door.
Seeing that there were no outsiders around, Shen Shoufu said: "Stop it, Jiuyuan, there is a factory guard school on site, too much is not enough."
Lin Tailai said dissatisfied: "I wanted to finish it all in one breath, but you interrupted me again."
Shen Shixing said in confusion: "Why are you so anxious? Logically speaking, the person who is least anxious should be you. You are so young and have more time than us, but you act so carefully."
Lin Tailai replied helplessly: "There are too many things to do, and time waits for no one."
It has now entered the second half of the 19th year of Wanli. If nothing goes wrong, the Japanese will invade Korea in the first half of next year.
It is estimated that Emperor Wanli will also appoint Lin Tailai and Li Rusong as a civil and military combination.
After all, people are superstitious, and the winner does not need to change. If this combination won the last battle, it will probably continue to be used habitually next time.
Before that, I have to try my best to take time to go back to my hometown and arrange the new work after the dredging project on the lower reaches of Wusong River.
It can be said that time is very tight. How can you have too much time to waste time on some chores?
Shen Shoufu could not understand Lin Tailai's situation and mentality. He just felt that Lin Tailai had been too rough with others recently and lacked patience.
As the scorching summer passed, Emperor Wanli resumed outdoor activities. While relaxing in Xiyuan, he heard the report about today's confrontation.
For some reason, the emperor suddenly stopped laughing and said to the eunuchs in charge of rituals: "It seems that Lin Tailai really doesn't want the title."
Zhang Cheng, the palm sealer, said: "If Lin Tailai is over fifty, or has already reached the Ministry of Education, he might want a title."
Unlike others, the question that Emperor Wanli cared most about was whether to be ennobled or not.
If he were not knighted, he would be afraid of being accused of being mistreated by the royal family; but if he was knighted, it would be like hanging Lin Tailai up and leaving him idle, which would be a pity.
After all, from the emperor's point of view, Lin Tailai is quite useful, but it would be wasted if he became a pensioner.
Chen Ju, the eunuch of Bingbi, suggested: "Lin Tailai has committed many violations of law and discipline recently, so we can wait a few more days.
If anyone still dares to impeach Lin Tailai, he will take advantage of the situation and cancel the reward of the title as a punishment.
If no one dares to impeach Lin Tailai again, then please ask the emperor to issue an order to grant Lin Tailai a title."
Emperor Wanli praised: "Very good! Let's discuss it accordingly!"
In the evening of that day, Lin Tailai took two hundred servants and strolled outside the gate of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
As long as the emperor does not express his position, this violation of law and discipline will not stop.
Don't ask why, asking is the hero's own fault!
Lu Guangzu, the censor of Zuodu who was able to stand out, had already stayed at home because Shangshu had resigned. Others in the Imperial Procuratorate were even less able to stop Lin Tai from coming.
However, Lin Tailai was rare and particular today and did not embarrass most of the censors. He only blocked a few censors who had impeached him.
Lin Tailai smiled and said to the leading censor Feng Congwu: "Feng Censor, we have met again so soon. Now tell us about the betrayal of the country and the surrender of the enemy to the enemy?"
Feng Congwu and others were unable to advance or retreat, so they could only respond: "Such slander is so ridiculous that we don't even bother to defend it!"
Lin Tailai asked again: "If the court listens to your impeachment and demotes me or recalls me to the court, will there be two great victories in Xining and Gansu to quickly reduce the pressure on Shaanxi and Gansu?"
Can the Kuaibai rebellion be quickly put down in just three months?
So your behavior is equivalent to assisting the bandits and Kuaibai, what is it if it is not treason and collaboration with the enemy?"
Lin Tailai, who had finished throwing dirty water, expected that the other party would start to talk about clichés such as "the rumor is heard" and "the road of communication is smooth".
Alas, I have traveled through time and still have to debate the issue of "freedom of speech."
But when Feng Congwu took a step back, he took out a memorial and said in a deep voice: "Lin Tailai, you are trying to find an excuse to block me here. Are you trying to stop me from submitting the memorial?"
Lin Tailai was puzzled and didn't understand what Feng Congwu wanted for a while.
Feng Congwu held up the memorial and continued loudly: "Foreign enemies are no match for scabies. A country's foundation is its fundamental plan. As the saying goes, a country will be in peace if its foundation is strong!"
Last year, the Emperor announced that the Eastern Palace would be established during the winter solstice this year, but so far there has been no movement. We are planning to jointly submit a letter to advise the Emperor and start preparations for the ceremony to establish the crown prince in advance!
Lin Tailai, you used poor excuses to intercept me for no reason, is it because of this memorial?"
Lin Tailai: "."
Damn it! What the hell is this? Why is this routine so familiar?
Could it be that in the battle of wits and courage with myself, the enemy also began to evolve?
Some of the censors who were watching began to boo, shouting: "Lin Jiuyuan! No matter what grudges you have with Feng Congwu, let him go to Guobenshu first, okay?"
What bad luck! Lin Tailai turned around and left without saying a word.
People can't always have everything go smoothly. Just treat it as if they didn't look at the almanac when they went out and stepped on dog shit!
At this time, Feng Congwu, who was holding the memorial, spoke again: "Lin Jiuyuan, wait, listen to me!
Last year, the emperor summoned his cabinet ministers and you. You were the one who initiated the establishment of the Eastern Palace in front of the emperor. You really contributed to the country!
Now that the time for the Emperor's instructions is getting closer and closer, why do you remain silent and do nothing about the fundamental issues of the country?"
Lin Tailai sighed secretly, why don't you good-looking Qingliu Party members learn from this?
If you use this method of moral kidnapping, go to the cabinet elder, go to the minister of the Ministry of Etiquette, what will he do from the middle level of the fourth rank!
Thinking of this, Lin Tailai gritted his teeth and said: "Who said I have done nothing? In the past few days, I will show you what it means to make a difference!"
Lin Jiuyuan himself is invincible, so he cannot be defeated in any situation!
Feng Congwu shouted to Lin Tailai's back: "I'm waiting for what you will do!"
Cheers erupted outside the gate of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. This seemed to be the first time the Metropolitan Procuratorate had defeated Lin Tailai head-on.
Today, Censor Feng Congwu has become a hero of the Metropolitan Procuratorate!
In the crowd, the two censors He Zhuo and Qian Yiben, who had visited Lin Mansion in the middle of the night, looked at each other with bitter looks on their faces.
According to the assumption, the two of them should have defeated Lin Tailai and became the heroes of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. How come they were also intercepted?
If you can't become the most beautiful person in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, wouldn't those two famous paintings be given away for nothing?
Qian Yiben murmured to himself: "What should we do?"
He Zhuo replied: "I can only believe that Lin Tai is here."
Lin Tailai resumed work the next day and went to the Hanlin Academy first.
Jiuyuan Zhenxian, who was in a bad mood, had just arrived at Dengyingmen and met the editor Ye Xianggao. He had some free time to knock around.
"A few days ago, Sun Jigao returned to the Hanlin Academy and was responsible for the important work of teaching Shujishi.
Are you dancing with joy, as if you have found your backbone, and are you leaning down to take refuge in me?"
Ye Xianggao looked confused, "I went to other provinces on a business trip a while ago, and I wasn't in the Hanlin Academy at all!"
Lin Tailai scolded: "Even if you are not in the Hanlin Academy, you must still yearn for Sun Jigao and wish you could come back soon!
People like you must pay close attention to your thoughts and never relax!"
Ye Xianggao: "."
Damn it! This Hanlin Academy is already in darkness. There is no point in continuing to be an Imperial Academy. I might as well resign and go home!
After entering the No. 1 Scholar Hall, Lin Tailai called over Wu Daonan, who was ranked No. 1 in the same year, and asked suspiciously:
"Old Wu, regarding "Le Chao Xun Lu", the task I entrusted to you was to copy thirty or fifty volumes. How come you ended up handing in two hundred volumes?
Is this a high-end black thing for you? If it weren’t for my profound skills, I almost wouldn’t be able to hold on!"
Wu Daonan called Qu and said: "I originally wanted to copy fifty volumes and then stop, but there are still some enthusiastic people who also want to ghostwrite. I can't resist these enthusiasms, and in the end I can't compile 200 volumes."
Lin Tailai sighed and said, "I won't do it next time. This time, please tell me the names of the enthusiasts."
After seeing off Wu Daonan, Dong Qichang and Zhou Yingqiu came over again to chat with Lin Tailai. The three of them had not chatted like this for a long time.
Seeing that it was noon, the three of them were preparing to go to the dining hall to eat. Suddenly Zhang Wen, the guardian of the left, stood at the door and reported: "The target has come out! I just happened to go to the temple to burn incense today!"
Dong Qichang asked curiously: "What goal?"
Lin Tailai replied: "That's Uncle Guo Zheng Guotai."
Dong Qichang couldn't understand why you, Lin Jiuyuan, are still having trouble with the Zheng family?
Lin Tailai then explained: "Yesterday, the Qingliu Party used national affairs to try to get rid of me. I had no other choice but to find a way out from the Zheng family."
