Dali Temple Yamen, located in the first alleyway of Xijiangmi Lane

When Lin Junran, the Grand Secretary of Wenhua Palace and Minister of War, was here, the officials in the entire yamen were very excited, and Lin Junran's two disciples came in to greet him immediately.

"The official has met Mr. Lin!" Although Zou Yinglong is a core member of the Xu Party, he has done enough superficial skills and personally welcomed him and said.

Lin Qingran looked at Zou Yinglong lightly, then glanced at the Dali Temple prison next to him and asked, "Zou Siqing, you won't lock up my sister, right?"

"How dare you! Guanzigong is using tea in the fire room!" Zou Yinglong quickly shook his head and pointed to the direction of the fire room.

Although he really wanted to imprison Lin Pingchang to a prison, he shook the prestige of his Dali Temple Minister. However, Lin Pingchang was not only Lin Qingran's own sister, but also an earl enthroned by the court, but not him, a little Dali Temple Minister.

Can be detained at will.

When Lin Qingran learned that his sister was in the fire room, he led Lin Fu and his wife and walked straight towards the fire room.

Zou Yinglong looked at Lin Weiran and didn't take him seriously. He couldn't help but look dissatisfied on his face, and he made up his mind to ask this Lin Ge Lao to take a good look.

As winter comes, the fire room of the Dali Temple yamen has already burned high-quality charcoal fire without the smell of fireworks. Since the cost of these charcoal is recorded in the yamen's account book, no one will pity the charcoal, but it keeps a comfortable temperature.

.

Lin usually wears a bullfighting suit, and his beautiful big eyes are even more energetic. He has grown into a graceful and graceful girl, sitting there leisurely tasting tea.

Perhaps bored, she picked up a book from the bookshelf next to her and was reading it. She obviously did not focus too much on reading. When Lin Xuran first came in, she greeted happily: "Brother!"

Lin Xuran looked at his sister unharmed, and his heart was completely relieved and said gently: "It's better if you're not hurt. What do you want to eat tonight?"

Huh?

When Zou Yinglong heard Lin Xuran's attitude, he couldn't help but be stunned. He thought Lin Xuran would teach his sister a lesson, but he didn't want to be like someone who was fine. He came over and seemed to be sure whether his sister was injured.

"I think about it... Then eat the white-cut chicken!" Lin Pingchang knew that this was the meaning of his brother cooking himself, so he even signed up for a dish.

When Lin Weiran heard the name of the dish, he found that the wild girl was really eating chicken legs. She said happily: "Okay, let's go home!"

ah?

Zou Yinglong's mouth opened slightly, but he never expected it to be the plot. He just watched Lin Xuran take Lin Pingchang away, and immediately stood up to stop him and said, "Gei Master Lin, isn't it appropriate for you to do this?"

"Zou Siqing, I wonder what's wrong with it?" Lin Qingran asked indifferently in the face of Zou Yinglong's obstruction.

this……

When Zou Yinglong heard Lin Weiran's attitude, he couldn't help but speak out.

In his script, Lin Pingchang suffered a huge disaster this time, and Lin Qingran came over to give a solution. He had to arrange the beheaded messenger and give the court a decent explanation, rather than treating it as nothing was done.

It happened.

Zou Yinglong felt the superiority of Lin Junran, but he still pointed out under pressure: "Guanzi Bo beat the envoy. This matter needs to be explained to the envoy, and the court must also be explained to the court!"

"You really beat someone?" Lin Qingran's eyes turned to Lin Qingran beside him and asked Lin Pingchang.

Lin Pingchang hesitated for a moment, and immediately gave a positive answer and said, "Brother, I've beaten!"

"I will beat you if I hit you!" Lin Qingran had no intention of blame, but turned his head to look at Zou Yinglong and asked directly: "Zou Siqing, I don't understand when will the security of this capital be managed by your Dali Temple?

Woolen cloth?"

Lin Fu and others looked at Zou Yinglong one after another, and they had already seen through this Dali Temple Minister.

Anyone with discerning eyes knows very well that Zou Yinglong was able to catch Lin Pingchang on the spot, it must be that they had planned a premeditated action, and there would be no such coincidence in the world.

Zou Yinglong seemed to have guessed that Lin Weiran would pick from here, but his face was not flushed and gasped, saying, "This time, I am concerned about the safety of the envoy and the friendship between the two countries, so I learned that the envoy, Jahn Naji.

When you go out, just pay more attention!”

this……

When Lin Fu and others heard this answer, although the explanation was undoubtedly far-fetched, it seemed reasonable.

"Two countries? I, Lin Qinran, the first to refuse to admit Altan's pseudo-Jin Kingdom, will not admit it either, and the Ming court will not admit it!" Lin Qinran used his debate thinking and immediately pointed out the problem.

Zou Yinglong's face changed slightly, but he quickly explained: "The official just said something wrong, but I was in a close relationship with this peace talk, so I paid more attention to the envoy's movements. There is no mistake, right? Mr. Lin, you actually

Shouldn't you give the envoy an explanation to the envoy if he indulged his sister in so much?”

"What should I explain? These envoys have been stained with my Ming Dynasty. It would be light to beat him up!" Lin Qingran snorted coldly, and said disapprovingly.

Domineering!

Lin Fu and others heard Lin Junran's argument, but they couldn't help but secretly applaud.

Zou Yinglong never expected that Lin Junran would have such a tough attitude. He immediately put his face down and threatened directly: "Gei Master Lin, if you protect Guanzi Bo like this, the subordinates will have to submit a memorial to impeach you to the emperor!"

"Haha... Zou Siqing, I wonder what crime you are committing to impeaching this cabinet?" Lin Qingran laughed dryly, and turned his head to look at Zou Yinglong and said.

Zou Yinglong had already had an idea and responded directly: "Of course, I asked my sister to beat the envoy and destroy the two... My Ming Dynasty and Altan's peace talks will impeach you and protect your sister!"

"Then I will submit a memorial to impeach my elders and see you in court tomorrow morning!" Lin Xuran handed Lin Pingchang a look and said directly.

Lin Pingchang was no longer willing to stay here, so he put the book back on the bookshelf neatly and then left the place with his brother.

"You..." Zou Yinglong thought that he should have whispered to Lin Qinran's braid, but he didn't want to take him seriously at all.

The yamen officer who was originally responsible for watching Lin Pingchang here, looked at Lin Qingran and Lin Pingchang coming out, but his eyes were silently hanging down his head when he looked at Lin Qingran.

But they were given a hundred courages and did not dare to offend the noble Lin Pavilion Master, so they naturally did not dare to stand up and stop him, not to mention that they were carrying tall guards.

"Big guy is out!"

When he saw Lin Pingchang appearing at the door, the nobles and the yamen waiting here seemed to see a star, Xu Jiao and others surrounded him happily and said.

"Brother, you go back first, I will go home for dinner on time!" Lin Pingchang said hello to Lin Weiran behind him, and then left in a hurry.

Unlike Lin Weiran, who likes to ride in sedans, she likes to ride horses wherever she goes. Especially after taking over the management of the horse farm, she even got a thousand-mile horse for herself and her friends, and she is already the wind-chasing girl of this era.

Xu Jiao and others have long been accustomed to Lin Pingchang's attitude towards his brother. Some people couldn't help but look at Lin Qingran, who was in power, and then rushed to the ground to follow Lin Pingchang and leave.

Lin Xuran had already become accustomed to Lin Pingchang's friends. Seeing that it was getting late, he did not go to Wenyuan Pavilion or the Ministry of War, but instead went straight back to the house.

Zou Yinglong actually followed him out, but he silently looked at Lin Weiran and left in the sedan chair.

The staff next to him accompanied him throughout the whole process and asked curiously: "Dongweng, Lin Weiran has no intention of compromising with you. What should I do?"

"Since he doesn't see the coffin and doesn't cry, then don't blame me for not giving him the affection!" Fur Yinglong looked at the sedan chair that disappeared at the gate, but said coldly.

Although his performance in Dali Temple was not outstanding, he even exposed his bad habits of being high and low in his eyes. It was just that after years of hard work, he had a set of nitpicking skills and had a good debate and eloquence.

As long as he catches Lin Qingran and stomps hard, he can take the opportunity to take the lead like he did when he stepped on Yan Song, and get the position of the Six Ministers of the Secretariat or the Left Deputy Censor of the Censorate.

It is precisely because he had some expectations for tomorrow's morning court, but he was eager to take advantage of Lin Junran's body to get to power and even gain the position of Minister of Personnel in the future.

"Work well, you're really a bloody man... Lin family!"

"Isn't it? The Lin brothers and sisters in the court have the backbone!"

"Peace agreement? If the official thinks that he should beat the delegation and throw it back outside the pass!"

...

The incident of Guanzi Bo beating the messenger quickly spread to the entire capital and quickly became the hottest topic in the capital, but everyone praised it one after another.

As night fell, the lights in Zhang Mansion Study Room lit up.

After dinner, Zhang Juzheng came to his desk to handle affairs. Since he became the Minister of Rites, he has also strictly demanded himself and studied various etiquette systems in the Ming Dynasty.

Although he had almost half his foot in the cabinet a few months ago, it was not too regretful to not go in. After all, there are already as many as five in the cabinet, so it would be better to be more tempered by the Minister of Rites.

"Dad!" Zhang Jingxiu came in from outside and looked respectfully polite.

Zhang Juzheng looked up at the newly grown eldest son, but knew that the eldest son would go to the Three Treasures Hall without any trouble, so he asked lightly: "What's the matter?"

"Have you heard about the incident of the Crown Scarf attacking the messenger?" Zhang Jingxiu hesitated for a moment and asked as if he mustered up the courage.

Zhang Juzheng put down the brush in his hand, but responded naturally: "This incident has caused storms and rain in the city. Tomorrow's morning court cannot be quiet, how can you not know if you are a father?" After a pause, he solemnly warned: "You will be in the future."

Stay away from that wild girl, this wild girl is lawless in doing things!”

"Dad, Guanqian Bo did not do it today. This time it was the child and Zhu Shitai who were fighting!" Zhang Jingxiu bit his lower lip, and then said firmly.

Zhang Juzheng's eyes couldn't help but glared, and looked at the Wenjing son in surprise and said, "You..."

In his impression, his son was very quiet and the most outstanding student in the Imperial College, but he could not be associated with the evildoers who beat the messenger in any case.

"I know that my father is the disciple of Mr. Xu, and he has been supported by Mr. Xu in recent years, but our Ming Dynasty really cannot negotiate with Altan!" Zhang Jingxiu faced Zhang Juzheng's surprised gaze, but he expressed his position seriously.

Zhang Juzheng's face was slightly cold, and he immediately scolded: "What do you know? You rarely can't see that this is a power struggle between the two factions?"

"Dad, I know that Master Xu and Master Lin are fighting for power, but Altan has slaughtered so many people in our Ming Dynasty over the past ten years. Now Altan Khan is in trouble, why do we still have to discuss with him?" Zhang Jingxiu was very

Nodded affirmatively, but stood firmly.

Zhang Juzheng frowned slightly, but emphasized, "Why can't we negotiate? Now that we are just restoring the tribute, we only need to pay some money to exchange for peace on the Nine Borders. This is a good deal for the Ming Dynasty!"

"Dad, if you just pay tribute, you can calm the war in the Nine Borders, this move is naturally excellent! But what Altan wants is not only the reward for tribute, but definitely to plan more things. I believe my father is very clear about it!" Zhang Jingxiu

Facing Zhang Juzheng's angry gaze, he was as authentic as if he was not allowed to do anything.

Zhang Juzheng was taking care of this son, but he didn't expect that his son could see so thoroughly. He immediately knew that this was something that the sixteen-year-old boy could see, so he asked seriously: "Who said this to you."

?”

"In the latest issue of "Discussion on Ancient and Current", Lin Ge Lao published "Discussion on Diplomacy", explaining to us the essence of diplomacy. There is a very good metaphor: the covenant between jackals and people cannot trust, jackals from beginning to end

They all just want to eat more meat. If the jackals take the initiative to show their favor, they must be unable to grab the meat, so they want to eat meat in another way!" Zhang Jingxiu has a good memory and seems to be authentic as he reads the script.

Zhang Juzheng naturally knew "Talking about the Ancient and the Current", and also knew the amazing influence of "Talking about the Ancient and the Current" among scholars. He immediately asked, "Talking about the Ancient and the Current" and said, "Talking about the Ancient and the Current" to him, "Talking about it, I'll take a look!"

"Okay!" Zhang Jingxiu responded, then went back to his room and took the book over.

When Zhang Juzheng saw the "On Diplomacy" written by Lin Weiran, he remained silent for a long time after reading it.

Although he had always been extremely concerned about Lin Xuran, he did not expect Lin Xuran to be so powerful. He had already launched a public opinion offensive inadvertently.

In this contest, although the mentor received the support of the Shanxi Gang, it was possible to win the political achievements of solving the Northern Disaster. It was just that the unfavorable disaster was also laid, and officials would continue to rely on power, but the scholars and the lower classes also had their own roots.

However, officials are always passionate.

Even if they achieved the result of the peace talks this time, and the mentor would have lost the support of the lower-level scholars when he reached the political capital to quell the war.
