He doesn't have many high-ranking officials of around the third grade available, and he may not even be able to assemble reliable candidates.
This is also the big problem Lin Tailai is currently facing. He cannot choose a candidate even if he wants to compete in the ring.
You can't be so naive as to think that just because Shi Xing, the left minister of the Ministry of War, actively organized a literary conference, and Zhong Zhenji, the right minister of the Ministry of Industry, expressed his friendship through Dong Qichang, do you think that they are reliable?
To be honest, Lin Tailai didn't even dare to vouch for Wang Tianguan's reliability in the headwind situation.
After all, Wang Tianguan's poor performance when he faced headwinds several times at literary conferences left a deep impression on Lin Tailai.
Just as Lin Tailai thought about the Literary Forum, he heard Wang Tianguan also talking about the Literary Forum:
"Shi Xing, the left minister of the Ministry of War, asked me if this literary conference should be postponed?"
"Why the delay?" Lin Tailai asked.
Wang Tianguan felt that Lin Tailai was asking questions knowingly, but he reminded him: "The situation is so unclear now. Many people attending the meeting will inevitably make small calculations in their minds. If the scene is too ugly, it is better not to do anything."
What Wang Tianguan means is that many people who wanted to attend the meeting came because of you, Lin Jiuyuan.
If your strength, Lin Jiuyuan, declines, I'm afraid many people who are scheduled to attend the conference will not be willing to come.
No matter when, there will never be a shortage of people who actively follow the trend and seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.
Lin Tailai said without doubt: "The Literary Forum will be held as scheduled according to the scheduled date!
As the saying goes, the strong wind knows the strong grass. Under normal conditions, it is difficult to detect people's hearts.
I want to see who are the people who booked to attend but didn’t come!”
Wang Tianguan looked a little unnatural and said: "Otherwise, Jiuyuan, you can go to Shen Shoufu to convince you?
Shen Shoufu will definitely not kill you to death, as long as you kneel down quickly, everything will be fine."
Lin Tailai was speechless. Just now he was still thinking that Wang Tianguan's character was not suitable for the headwind situation and he did not have that kind of tenacity.
In the end, within a few words, Wang Tianguan's weakness was exposed.
"Are you scared?" Lin Tailai asked back.
Wang Tianguan was indeed a little frightened by the chief assistant. The chief assistant's strong interference in personnel affairs reminded him of the repeated cabinet disputes.
Whenever the cabinet attempts to directly intervene in the affairs of foreign countries, the Ministry of Personnel must represent the foreign countries and resist the cabinet's intrusion.
But Wang Tianguan felt that he couldn't defeat Shen Shoufu with full firepower.
Shen, the first assistant, has been in the cabinet for twenty years and has been the chief assistant for nearly eight years. He has only been in Beijing for one year. What kind of background can he bring?
Originally, the tall Lin Tailai was blocking the front, but now Lin Tailai and the Qingliu forces were beaten by the chief assistant, and Lin Tailai's relatives and friends, the Minister of the Ministry of Finance, were also gone.
Lin Tailai, who had already lost the Minister of Hubu, could not bear to lose the Minister of Libu again, so he did not dare to scold Wang Tianguan, who was full of petty bourgeois weakness, and could only coax and explain:
"Don't worry, I haven't fallen down. As long as I'm still there, you can be safe!"
Even if we sue for peace, we must show our strength first, otherwise, how can we sue for peace?"
Wang Tianguan was in a daze, feeling that he was so respected by Lin Tailai for the first time in his life.
Does this mean that Lin Tailai is really weak?
Lin Tailai tried his best to cheer him up and said: "Besides, this is not just the chief minister's overreach of power, but a cabinet dispute. We all support Laozhong to kill you!"
Besides, the cabinet dispute is a very sensitive issue, and Chief Shen doesn’t dare to go too far after all!”
Wang Tianguan was speechless again. It was obviously you and the Qingliu Party members who were beaten by the angry chief assistant. How could it become a cabinet dispute?
All I can say is that you, Lin Tailai, know how to find entries.
The topic of Wang Situ and Ding You became a hot topic in the official circles of the capital within one day.
Not only because Wang Situ's position as Minister of Household Affairs is extremely important, but also because of the special relationship between Wang Situ and Lin Tailai.
Lin Tailai's rapid rise is not only due to his own quality, but also due to external conditions.
First, his early marriage to the Wang family gave Lin Tailai Wang Situ, the most stable cornerstone of his background.
No matter how others treat Lin Tailai, they must take the Minister of Hubu into account.
Second, because of Shen Shoufu's complete protection and connivance, Lin Tailai can amplify his own strength tenfold.
With this top-level protective umbrella, Lin Tailai can often be in an invincible position and can do things freely.
But now these two reasons have failed, and most of Lin Tailai's road to success has disappeared in an instant.
Some people have concluded based on this that without the cornerstone of the Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue and the complete protection from the chief minister, Lin Tailai in the 19th year of Wanli would have regressed by five years and degenerated into Lin Tailai in the 14th year of Wanli.
As for whether Lin Tailai in the Wanli 14th year version is strong or not, it can only be said that people have different opinions.
