One maid brought tea to Lin Pingchang, while the other maid came in to refill Lin Qingran.

Lin Pingchang was in a hurry all the way, and now his throat was smoking. So he took the teacup and took a sip of the tea, then tilted his head and continued to look at his brother, but he still didn't understand why his brother made a memorial request.

Lin Qingran picked up the teacup again and explained helplessly: "According to the usual practice of the Beijing Prefecture period, officials and local governors of the capital who were above the fourth rank and local governors would all give a self-explanatory message. If they meet the new emperor ascended the throne,

In 2019, then this since the resignation will become a resignation!”

In accordance with the self-declaration system established in the fourth year of Zhengde, every year during the Beijing Prefecture, officials and local governors of the Ming Dynasty who were above the fourth rank and local governors would give a self-declaration message.

This system was stricter at the beginning of its implementation, but later it became a formality. Nowadays, except for a few losers in political struggles who will be dismissed due to self-explanation, most officials can pass the test safely.

Of course, the original intention of this system was not to eliminate many high-ranking officials in the capital or many territorial officials, but in essence it was to demonstrate the supremacy of the new emperor and the throne.

Especially for the new emperor, he can grasp some basic situations of ministers through his ministers' self-examination, and can not only select some officials who are satisfied with to promote them, but also shock them by removing some officials or scolding them on his self-examination.

Subject.

Since the development of the system, there has been a mature set of rules of the game.

The officials humbly reported their shortcomings to the emperor through "Self-Chen Shu", and took the initiative to propose "resignation", hoping that the emperor could depose himself.

The new emperor naturally knew this. As long as he did not make up his mind to get rid of this official, or if the official did have some problems, he would usually show that the new emperor was respectful to the wise and ruthless to retain him.

For example, Lin Qinran's reason for resigning was that he had "small qualifications", but it was because of his political achievements that had been enough to allow Xu Jie to burrow the ground since Chen Shudi entered the officialdom. If Longqing accepted Lin Qinran's resignation because of this "illusion", it would not be morally true.

It's already unreasonable. I'm afraid many officials will jump out and accuse Longqing of not being able to tolerate his capable ministers.

In short, officials usually do not really want to resign, and the new emperor cannot agree to the resignation of officials casually. This matter has long become a game of "the minister wants to resign, but the emperor tries his best to keep him."

With Lin Junran's ability and reputation, and his relationship with Long Qing was still well maintained, this so-called resignation is actually just a formality.

Lin Pingchang didn't expect that there were still rules in the officialdom, and he seemed to be enlightened: "Brother, you did not really want to resign, but to show the emperor the way he did it, and the emperor must have

I'll invite you, right?"

"Yes, it's not easy for anyone to climb to this position, who would really want to resign! Xu Jie made a resignation memorial the day before yesterday. Yesterday, Mr. Li and Mr. Guo made a resignation memorial together. Today is the turn

Gao Gong and I were with me!" Lin Qingran nodded gently, drank a taste of tea, and then added bitterly: "Xu Jie probably had been waiting for this opportunity, and was about to resign when I asked for resignation.

Hit me!"

This time, the resignation was originally a formality, but it was attacked by Xu Jie. Xu Jie ordered his disciple, Criminal Department, to impeach Lin Pingchang, was the culprit of the infection of the previous emperor, and then gave up the

Things are involved in me, and I am already trying to kill myself with one blow.

"Brother, the emperor cannot dismiss you because of this memorial. You will definitely keep you, right?" Lin Pingchang sat cross-legged, but asked with confusion on his face.

Lin Qingran looked up at his sister, then nodded gently and said, "You are right in your analysis. The emperor will definitely try to keep me tomorrow, but I have to continue resigning!"

"Brother, why is this?" Lin Pingchang frowned, and found that the officialdom was too complicated. He tilted his head and looked at his brother.

Lin Qingran gently put down the teacup and seemed serious: "According to the unspoken rules of the officialdom, now that you have been involved in such a big deal, I cannot rush to agree to the emperor's resignation, and I have to sing again, at least

I want the emperor to give you an innocence!”

"Brother, don't worry, I won't drag you down. I will start to solve this matter tomorrow!" Lin Pingchang realized that he had dragged his brother down, so he immediately expressed his opinion.

Lin Qingran knew that his sister was fearless, but he raised his eyes and looked at her and asked, "Then how do you plan to solve this problem?"

"I will enter the palace tomorrow morning and ask the queen sister to help me come forward and let the emperor issue an order to restore my innocence!" Lin Pingchang thought for a moment and said the plan.

Lin Weiran frowned slightly, and found that the wild girl was still doing so simply and rudely, but she corrected her seriously: "The Queen is not your sister. When you see the Queen, don't scream!"

"Oh, I have always had a good relationship with her. I recognized her as my sister several years ago, so why can't I call you? If I don't call you, she will definitely blame me for not recognizing her sister!" Lin Pingchang

His brows immediately frowned and said with a serious look on his face.

Lin Xuran knew her relationship with the queen, but she still reminded her: "Princess Chen is already the queen. There are differences in your identities. You should pay more attention in the future and take a good grasp of your position!"

"Brother, I actually understand all of this, but the Queen really doesn't care about this with me. Our relationship has always been very good!" Lin Pingchang nodded softly, and his face seemed to be very serious.

Lin Weiran had already started to follow the wife's diplomatic route a few years ago, but he knew that the queen was much more kind than Concubine Li, so he no longer had to worry about this issue, so he said his plan: "The crux of this matter is still Pan.

In Maoming’s recipe, I understand that I will send someone to find Doctor Wang and will clear your innocence as soon as possible!”

When things developed to this point, he knew that whether it was for his career or for his sister, he would do his best to resolve this violent crisis.

"It's bad, Xu Jiao and the others may do whatever they want. I have to go out again!" Lin Pingchang suddenly patted his fair forehead, then put down the teacup in a hurry and said.

Lin Xuran looked at his sister who had left in a hurry and found that the girl was still rushing around like she used to be. However, she shook her head helplessly, but her eyes couldn't help but look a hint of worry.
