This big storm that attracted attention from the government and the country was fuse by Gao Gongzi, causing direct conflicts between Lin Junran and Huang Zhongda, and completely aroused the conflicts in the Shuntian Prefecture Yamen.

Lin Qingran took the lead in taking action and chose to impeach Xu Yu, the Yan Censor of the Lianghuai, and indirectly attacked Huang Zhongda. In order to protect Xu Yu, the Xu Party chose to let Huang Zhongda take the blame.

Faced with the attacks of Xu Du's Chen Qing and the eight censors, Lin Xuran unexpectedly did not give up, but he also took Yin Tai, Ning Jiang and others to help, which immediately escalated the conflict.

In the end, Lin Qinran forced the Xu Dang, who was unwilling to make trouble, and Gao Yao personally escorted Gao Gongzi to the yamen to be punished, which ended with Lin Qinran's victory.

But who would have thought that there would be a follow-up to the matter here. At this point, Yin Tai, who participated in this battle, was appointed as the chief examiner of the examination.

Although these two things seem to be irrelevant, Ning Jiang vaguely saw that there was something in common. As a result, he made bold speculation that Lin Shiran's real attempt to fight such a big fight was not all to fight Huang Zhongda.

It is to help Yin Tai as the chief examiner.

No matter how twists and turns the matter went through, Lin Weiran undoubtedly successfully planned and achieved the result he wanted.

Lin Qing certainly seemed harmless. Facing Ning Jiang's questioning, he smiled and said, "Why do you think so? The examiner of the examination was appointed by the emperor. How could I have such influence? You are too

I respect me."

Yang Futian had a strong desire to show off and immediately interrupted and said, "I understand! If you ask the teacher to submit a memorial to help you, it is actually the teacher who is helping him. You can take this opportunity to show your face in front of the saint!"

Obviously, he believed Ning Jiang's inference and believed that Lin Weiran was the "black hand" behind the scenes.

Ning Jiang glared at him, but did not reject his inference, and instead said seriously: "You asked the teacher to impeach Gao Yao because you actually wanted the teacher to show your position and thus gain the favor of the emperor!"

In the current officialdom, Jiajing likes to play with power, which is no longer a secret. When Yin Tai broke himself from the Xu Party and the Yan Party, he could not have been killed and lived, becoming a "tool" for the emperor to check and balance the power of the two parties.

Of course, this kind of thing is very accidental and bears certain risks. However, compared to the gains, many people are probably willing to take risks and gain this great opportunity.

Lin Xuran faced these two speculations, and even this was almost the whole truth, but did not respond clearly, but seriously warned: "No matter what the facts are, this matter has passed! The reason why the emperor chose the teacher

As the chief examiner of the association examination, that is because the teacher is the most suitable candidate. Regardless of reputation, qualifications or status, they are the best candidates, and they have nothing to do with me!"

Some things can be done, but they cannot be said. Although such things must not be hidden from the big shots, they will understand each other tacitly. If they spread to the emperor with big mouths, they will really be seeking death.

Lin Junran has never been a complacent person. He prefers to be a low-key official and silently absorbs nutrients to grow. Especially now they have achieved great benefits, and at this time they should strengthen themselves silently and watch the Yan Party and Xu Party fight each other.

.

Faced with Lin Junran's warning and caution, Ning Jiang and Yang Futian looked at each other and nodded solemnly.

I know that Lin Xuran is right, and it is inappropriate to discuss this issue at the moment, but Lin Xuran's plan this time made the two of them secretly shocked.

If Yan Song and Xu Jie are old foxes, then this one is a little fox and is the natural king in the officialdom.

The candidate for the chief examiner of the examination has been settled, and the capital is destined to be calm, so it is inevitable that it will be shocked by this unexpected result.

Wuyi Hall, cabinet.

Yan Song, wearing a python robe, leaned his head in front of the desk, and sometimes a cough sounded, and a blue spittoon was placed next to it.

Although he was old and had poor energy, he still worked diligently on government affairs, just like the past.

His eyebrows were snow-white, long and thick, but they were tightly frowned. Although the rebuilding of Wanshou Palace could use the wood from the three halls, it was only when he was actually rebuilt that he had been trapped in Xu Jie. The cost here was also quite large.

It is almost equivalent to spending money to build another palace.

Not to mention the thousands of migrant workers who were requisitioned, just paint needed to paint the palace, this is a considerable amount. Before half of the project was completed, nearly 100,000 taels were spent, which made the Ming Dynasty's finance worse.

Faced with the current financial difficulties, Yan Song felt a headache. Although Guangdong's Maritime Warehouse Company had a generous return and Yan Maoqing's salt administration was also effective, it was still difficult to solve the financial embarrassment.

"Ge Lao Yan, the candidate for the examination has come out!" His servant walked in and said repeatedly beside him.

He also attached great importance to this rich political resource. In the past, he would either use it for himself or give it to people who do not pose a threat. However, this year, there were a lot of variables.

Yan Song frowned slightly and immediately asked, "Yan Ne?"

Yan Ne, a native of Changshu, Nanzhili, Shujishi, who had been in the 20th year of Jiajing, is currently the Left Minister of Rites. His qualifications and status are undoubtedly competent for the president of the examination, especially he is the candidate recommended by Xu Jie, and he himself

It is also quite appreciated by the emperor.

Among so many candidates, if Yuan Wei doesn’t have a chance, Yan Ne is undoubtedly the most popular candidate.

The attendant was about to answer when a shocked voice came from the next door and said, "How could it be Yin Tai? How could it be him?"

Since Xu Fan was responsible for rebuilding Wanshou Palace, he has gone to the cabinet every now and then, and he is extremely concerned about major affairs of the court.

Because he and Yan Ne are fellow townsmen and have close contacts, he also hopes that Yan Ne can preside over the examination. When he learned that the candidate for the examination was finalized, he immediately rushed from the construction site.

The result was unexpected. It was not the most popular Yan Ne who was elected, nor the most qualified Yuan Wei, but Yin Tai who emerged from Nanjing.

Xu Jie was also disappointed with the result, but he had no choice but to decide the right to be the Lord. But seeing his son's strong reaction, he immediately frowned and said, "This is the Lord's decision, what are you yelling here?"

"Dad, how could it be Yin Tai? Who recommended him?" Xu Fan knew that he was wrong, but he couldn't help asking in confusion.

Among the current cabinet ministers, Yuan Wei naturally recommended himself. Yan Dang and Yin Tai were not the same as each other, and they recommended Yan Ne. How could Yin Tai stand out? This result is so incredible.

Xu Jie let out a breath of turbid air, but said with a slightest statement: "Who recommends it doesn't matter! Someone saw the opportunity in the chaos, so he took advantage of the opportunity to make Yin Tai stand out."

"Who is this person? How did he take advantage of the situation?" Xu Fan frowned and asked in greater confusion.

Xu Jie looked at his son who could not see the figure of the man at this time, and his eyes could not help but flashed with disappointment.

This son is just ambitious, but he has no political talent. The fact that he is involved in the whirlpool of political struggle will only harm the stupid son. He raised his hand and rushed the people tiredly, saying, "You go back to the construction site!"

Perhaps, the most suitable job for me here is to move bricks rather than to be an official.

Xu Fan was full of doubts and wanted to know the answer. He just looked at his father and refused to say it, but he had no clue. In the end, he turned around one step and couldn't find the answer until he left.

"Yin Tai?"

When Yan Song heard this answer, he felt relieved, but his face did not look happy.

After realizing Xu Jie's ambition, he also had to be wary of this ambitious junior.

Originally, he had a choice for the chief examiner of the examination. However, Yin Tai jumped out at the right time and successfully entered the holy field. When facing the obviously inclined questioning of the holy, he simply followed the situation.

If the emperor likes Yuan Wei, it would be fine, but if he chooses Yan Ne, it would make Xu Jie grow stronger. Although Yin Tai has never been the candidate he likes, he is naturally more willing to let Yin Tai eat it compared to Yan Ne.

This cake.

There is a result when things have results.

When Yin Tai impeached Gao Yao, this action was for the emperor to see, but it might also be for him to see. He saw the opposition between Yin Tai and Xu Party, thus winning his votes for support.

"Such a scheming and so unique, it seems that I... am really old!"
