Chapter 2288 a voice

Lingshi Hutong, Lin Mansion.

The palace sent eunuch Chen Hong to convey the order, first verbally rejected Lin Junran's memorial for resignation, and then announced the edict to Lin Junran to be promoted to the young tutor and the crown prince's grand tutor, and to be the title of Minister of Personnel.

The title of Minister of Personnel is actually a kind of empty title, but it is not that Lin Junran really wanted to serve as Minister of Personnel. For example, when the Xu Jie Pavilion Minister finished his exam in the ninth year, he also received the title of Minister of Personnel, which is more of a symbol of status and status.

Of course, with this title of Minister of Personnel, he has more say in the affairs of the Ministry of Personnel. Just like the honorary principal of later generations, although he would not serve as principal, he could still "point out" some of the school's affairs appropriately.

As for the young master and the crown prince, this has once again raised Lin Junran's status, and he has no more say in the cabinet than Li Chunfang.

"I am the Grand Secretary of Wenhua Palace and Minister of War Lin Qingran received the order, Long live my emperor!" Lin Qingran was also slightly surprised and said respectfully.

He had submitted a memorial to Longqing earlier to resign. No matter what the reason, it was indeed an inappropriate act to pass messages between his family and Empress Chen using carrier pigeons.

But now that Long Qing openly denies him his charges and even commends him, no one can attack him again in the future.

Although his actual position has not changed at all, he has now obtained the title of "Shao Tutor and Crown Prince" and "Legend of Minister of Personnel", which has invisibly improved his status.

It has to be said that although this time was a risky move of "taking risks with one's own risk", the political rewards received were far beyond imagination. Not to mention Longqing's current title, this time it established his leading position in the civil service group.

After handing over the imperial edict to Lin Qinran, Chen Hong first expressed joy for Lin Qinran's "promotion", and then seemed very serious: "The emperor asked you to enter the palace at the very hour tomorrow, saying that there is something important to discuss, please be sure to go on time!"

"Okay!" Lin Qingran knew that the matter had to be resolved, so he nodded solemnly.

The next morning, it was another nice and clear weather.

Lin Qingran came to the Qianqing Gate, passed by a little eunuch's report, and then followed the little eunuch into the Qianqing Palace to meet Emperor Longqing.

Longqing has been having a bad day these days. Although he is still wearing luxury clothes and beautiful women every day, no one wants to be accused of being a fool, so his face seems a little bad at this time.

Lin Weiran just glanced at Long Qing sitting in front of the desk and bowed and thanked him in a regular manner.

"Lin Aiqing, you don't need to be polite, please get up quickly!" Long Qing couldn't help but yawn, and then hurriedly raised his hand to Lin Qingran and said.

Lin Weiran had finished saluting, so he stood up and thanked him: "Thank you, the Emperor!"

"Lin Aiqing, now all officials are writing memorials and scolding me, so that I don't dare to preside over the morning court these days! I invite you to the palace this time, I hope you can help me this time, and advise them not to submit memorials again!" Long Qing pointed to the large number of memorials in front of the case, and said aggrieved like a child who was wronged.

Lin Junran's face turned right and immediately expressed his serious statement: "Your Majesty, please forgive me for your words! If the emperor gave me this gift, he would ask me to lobby the officials for the emperor and stop submitting memorials and direct advice. I beg the emperor to allow me to resign and return home! I will not say that I do not have this ability, and I cannot persuade all officials like this!"

Chen Hong and Teng Xiang sighed inwardly, and couldn't help but turn their heads and look at Longqing, and find that sometimes Longqing is really less stubborn in his words.

Not to mention that Lin Qingran could not lead all officials to make concessions so lightly. Now Lin Qingran really agreed to your request and did it. I am afraid that you will be wary of Lin Qingran in the future.

If you want Lin Xuran to help solve this problem, you have to give Lin Xuran a reasonable reason, otherwise no one can do this.

"Lin Aiqing, no... no! This is not what I give to you this time. But now all officials hand over a lot of straightforward memorials every day. Please... please help me find a way to solve this problem!" Long Qing was worried that Lin Xuran would really leave with a load, so he said in a begging tone.

When Lin Qing saw Long Qing correcting the statement, he also analyzed gently: "Emperor, if you want to solve this matter, you must try to calm the anger of all officials. The root cause of the anger of all officials is that the empress and the emperor's legitimate son were wronged!"

"Queen, she...what can she feel wronged!" Long Qing's eyes were erratic, but he seemed unwilling to face this problem directly.

In fact, in Longqing's heart, he has not really taken the Queen's business yet.

In his opinion, the queen had been trapped in the West Garden by someone putting a spell talisman in the crack of the bed and eating a bad stomach, which did not cause any harm.

Especially the spell of giving birth to a daughter, it may be a reward. After all, compared to having the emperor's legitimate son alone, the queen is more happy this time.

Teng Xiang was worried that Lin Xuran would propose that the three departments investigate the queen's case strictly, and he also defended him from the side: "Gemaster Lin, that night was a misunderstanding! The matter started because the queen lost the token. If the palace maids were going with their licenses at that time, who would dare to stop them? The reason why the goalkeepers did not allow palace servants to pass is also their duty!"

When Chen Hong heard Teng Xiang pushing the matter to the queen's lost token, his brows frowned slightly, and turned his head to look at Teng Xiang thoughtfully.

When things developed to this point, he didn't know that night was a conspiracy. Now it seems that Teng Xiang was not only involved, but even did other things in this conspiracy.

But this is all his guess. The truth needs to be investigated, or there is no truth forever.

"Eunuch Teng, I wonder if you are accusing the queen of not losing the token? Or do you think I should listen to your opinion when I talk to the emperor about the affairs of the government?" Lin Weiran glanced at her eyes and immediately raised her face and asked sternly.

These words undoubtedly hit Teng Xiang's seven inches. Although the Ming Dynasty has developed to this day, more and more emperors have ignored the ancestral system that prohibits eunuchs from interfering in government affairs, this ancestral system has always existed.

If Teng Xiang was really labeled as interfering in the government, not to mention that his "official career" would be difficult to make progress, he might have suffered a catastrophe.

"No, this is not what the zodiac sign is!" Teng Xiang faced Lin Xuran's stern gaze, and suddenly felt a little afraid and shook his head and denied.

Lin Weiran's mouth raised slightly, but he asked with a calm face: "Eunuch Teng, I wonder what you mean?"

"I..." Teng Xiang swallowed secretly, but turned his head to look at Long Qing with help.

Although Longqing has sought Teng Xiang’s opinions in private, it is indeed inappropriate for Teng Xiang to interrupt just now, so he taught a lesson with a calm face: "I am discussing government affairs with Master Lin here, don’t be too polite!"

"Yes, I will remember it!" Teng Xiang knew that he was in a wrong position and immediately responded as if he had been amnesty.

Although he is already high in the inner palace and knows Longqing's trust, he is far from reaching the height of his senior Liu Jin and other power supervision, and he is unable to challenge the civil service group at all.

Since Xu Jie left office, no one in the court has been able to compete with Lin Qinran. Now the leader of the civil service group is not Li Chunfang, the chief assistant of the cabinet, but Lin Qinran, the Grand Secretary of the Wenhua Palace and Minister of War.

Now that Lin Xuran is taking advantage of the problem, he dares not refute it at all, and can only beg Lin Xuran to let him go this time.

Lin Weiran saw the plea in Teng Xiang's eyes. Although he knew that this was just a delaying plan for the villain, he knew that it was not appropriate to keep aside this matter.

Seeing that Lin Qingran no longer pursued Teng Xiang's interference in politics, Long Qing asked gently: "Lin Aiqing, you continue to say, I... what should I do to resolve the anger of all officials and prevent them from submitting memorials... to scold me!"

Speaking of the last two words, the dignified Emperor Ming also felt helpless, deeply feeling the ferocity of the officials and the hotness of the throne.

"Emperor, the reason why all officials took turns to submit memorials and advice this time is not that they are not loyal to the emperor, but that they are loyal to the emperor and the queen! As long as the emperor comes up with a solution and the queen is satisfied with the handling of the matter, all officials will naturally have nothing to say and will not directly advise the emperor!" Lin Junran did not want to really rigidify the relationship and analyzed it very seriously.

Long Qing vaguely felt that Lin Xuran’s words were quite reasonable, and immediately asked: “What Lin Aiqing said is, what should we do to satisfy the queen?”

"Your Majesty, you should ask the queen!" Lin Qingran felt helpless and couldn't help but remind him seriously.

Chen Hong also turned his head strangely and looked at Longqing. If it were someone who didn't know, he would have mistakenly thought that Lin Junran and the Queen were just a couple.

Is my wife satisfied or not, but I have to ask an outsider, what kind of decency is this?

Teng Xiang was used to Long Qing's occasional IQ down, but he had no time to take care of him. He felt a little uneasy and felt that even if he escaped this time, he would probably have to be stripped of a layer of skin by Lin Qiran.

"Okay, let's go to the queen's place together!" Long Qing immediately made a decision after being enlightened by Lin Qingran.

"I obey the order!" Lin Qingran naturally followed Long Qing's invitation and was naturally good at following the authenticity.

Soon, the group arrived at Kunning Palace.

Although Empress Chen gave birth to a child in Yuxi Palace in Xiyuan, given her experience of being trapped in Xiyuan, Empress Chen forced herself to move back here.

The emperor's son and the emperor's daughter were carefully taken care of by the palace servants. When they arrived, the two sleepy babies had fallen asleep peacefully in the cradle next to them.

Because she was worried that everyone would disturb the two babies when they talked, Queen Chen also asked the wet nurse to carry the person to the next room, and then greeted Longqing who came in.

Longqing looked a little embarrassed, but he hurriedly asked Queen Chen to return to bed for confinement.

"I congratulate the queen on giving birth to the emperor's legitimate son, the emperor's legitimate daughter, and the queen's legitimate son!" Lin Qingran looked at the two babies being held far away, and then he respectfully saluted the queen inside through the pearl curtain.

Seeing this, Queen Chen gently raised her hand and said, "Gei Lin is calm!"

Not to mention that this time, she was also fortunately thanked by Lin Weiran's help to escape the danger. The two had already formed an interest alliance, so their attitude was obviously much gentler.

"Thank you Queen!" Lin Weiran was like a genuine foreign minister, and he thanked him in a regular manner.

Longqing felt uncomfortable when facing Empress Chen, but he touched his nose and said straight to the point: "What Master Yilin said, now all officials want to seek justice for you and the emperor's legitimate son, but they don't know how to deal with this matter to satisfy you?"

Speaking of this, when his eyes were begging, the child who had made a mistake hoped to receive a light punishment.

"Gei Master Lin, I wonder what do you think you should deal with this matter?" Queen Chen ignored Long Qing's gaze and asked Lin Qingran outside.

Lin Qingran was prepared and immediately made a proposal: "In my humble opinion, the goalkeeper stopped him regardless of the safety of the Queen and the Emperor's legitimate son. This move should be dismissed and investigated! The officials in the West Garden knew that the Queen was ill, but they did not report effectively, so they should also punish them together!" After a pause, he turned his head and looked at Long Qing and continued: "As for the talisman of giving birth to a girl, there are traces of this matter through the talisman! If the emperor has no objection, I want to help the emperor and the queen find out the source of the talisman of giving birth to a girl and the person they want, and then the emperor will decide!"

"Okay, there will be something about giving birth to a girl, Laulin's beloved!" Long Qing did not involve giving birth to a girl, and immediately agreed to the matter with good deeds. Then he turned his head to look at Queen Chen and said expectantly: "Empress, I wonder if you are satisfied with this approach?"

"Now that I am safe with the emperor's son, I don't want to make this happen all the city! Master Lin, please tell all the officials. I will record their loyalty and ask them not to make the emperor embarrassed anymore!" Empress Chen was not a narrow-minded person, so she responded immediately.

Longqing looked at Empress Chen so generously, looked at Empress Chen with great gratitude, and then turned his head to look at another key figure, Lin Weiran.

Seeing that things were developing in the direction they expected, Lin Xuran immediately saluted and said solemnly: "I will receive the order, and the queen will be thousands of years old!"

As all parties made certain concessions, this matter came up with a good solution, and the storm that caused the city to storm also subsided.

As for the former core officials of the Xu Party, such as Zhang Shouzhi, the Minister of Works, were quickly directly cleaned by Lin Weiran.

If Zhang Siwei had not been cautious in his actions, and had not done anything inappropriate, and his official position was not threatened, he might have been cleaned up by Lin Qiran.

After the storm just now, no one will accuse Lin Shiran of excluding dissidents. In particular, Lin Shiran has already added a new identity as the leader of the legitimate protector. Even if he really excludes dissidents and attacks the core member of the Xu Party of the Chief Protection Sect, it is a kind of political correctness.
