Five hundred and fifty-six chapters walk in the middle
After saying goodbye to Feng Bao, Lin Yanchao returned to the sermon, and after revising the sermon, he went to Wenyuan Pavilion to present it to Zhang Siwei.
Lin Yanchao waited outside Zhang Siwei's duty room. After a while, the door opened, but saw Zeng Shengwu, Minister of Works and Wang Zhuan, Minister of Personnel, walking out of the door one after another.
Zeng Shengwu and Wang Zhuan's face were full of annoyance, and Zeng Shengwu even looked like he was waving his sleeves.
Seeing this scene, Lin Yanchao hurriedly retreated aside.
When Zeng Shengwu was about to say something to Wang Zhuan, Wang Zhuan saw Lin Yanchao standing beside him and coughed.
Zeng Shengwu stopped and said nothing.
After Lin Yanchao saluted the two, Zeng Shengwu said unhappily: "Lin Zhongyun, you have returned to Beijing. The idea of measuring the celestial phenomena along the river with the prime minister last time was very difficult for our Ministry of Works to do something! "
"I think you should not use your talents in the Hanlin Academy. It is better to come to our Ministry of Works to serve, which is more suitable for you."
The other party was the Minister of Works. Lin Yanchao felt that he was not at all disrespectful to him. As for the magnitude of the Yellow River, Lin Yanchao also had his thoughts on serving the country and the people, but he said that Zeng Shengwu was causing trouble for his Ministry of Works, which really made Lin Yanchao very angry.
Lin Yanchao's arm attacked: "Da Sikong, Xiaguan heard that oranges grew in Huainan were oranges, and that in Huainan it was tangerines. At present, this orange is still tangerines, but it is still tangerines when planted in Huainan, but tangerines cannot, which shows that tangerines are not as good as tangerines."
Lin Yanchao directly condemned Zeng Shengwu with one sentence.
Zeng Shengwu didn't expect that Lin Yanchao's only sixth-rank official would dare to mock him as a second-rank official in person. Even if Lin Yanchao is now in the holy family and has just been supported by Feng Bao, he is confident, and the order of ranks and inferiority is not something he can challenge.
Zeng Shengwu left immediately, and Wang Zhuan shook his head and said to Lin Yanchao: "Young man, don't be proud."
After saying that, Wang Zhuan followed Lin Yanchao and left.
The officials passing by in Wenyuan Pavilion saw that Lin Yanchao had contradicted the current Minister of Works, and at the same time they refreshed their views.
They didn't know that Lin Yanchao's move was intentional. Wang Zhuan and Zeng Shengwu were both hard-core friends of Zhang Juzheng. When Zhang Juzheng was liquidated in history, they ended up very miserably. They drew a clear line in front of everyone, and then shined their prestige.
When Dong Zhongshu saw Lin Yanchao's retort, he was so proud of his heart that he was so proud of himself!
The fact that the sixth and seventh rank officials denounced second and third rank officials was not new in the Ming Dynasty, but what is new is that you can not only be safe after scolding someone, but also be promoted to the title.
When Lin Yanchao made Zhang Juzheng unable to come down the steps, Dong Zhongshu thought Lin Yanchao had finished playing, but he didn't expect that half a year later, Lin Yanchao came back and became a close minister of the emperor.
This is really unexpected. Could this be the power of the Three Yuanshu?
Dong Zhongshu respectfully invited Lin Yan to the duty room. Then Lin Yanchao met Zhang Siwei.
Zhang Siwei's face was not good either. It seemed that he had an unpleasant conversation with Zeng Shengwu and Wang Zhuanguozhen just now.
Although Zhang Siwei is the second assistant, he is just a guard. He usually takes charge of all the affairs of Wenyuan Pavilion, worry about the imperial court, talks about the nominal important matters such as the suburbs and temples, and the military and political power is in the hands of Zhang Juzheng.
Wang Zhuan and Zeng Shengwu just left, both Zhang Juzheng's confidants, and they could not sell Zhang Siwei's face at all.
Zhang Siwei asked, "Has Lin Zhongyun's sermon been revised?"
Lin Yanchao said: "Yes."
So Zhang Siwei read Lin Yanchao's sermon, then frowned and said, "This sermon is just about doing things that are diligent in governance and the people, and it is of no use to the emperor's heir!"
Lin Yanchao said: "If you go back to the central hall, the official thought that Your Majesty must have been a clever and clearly understood everything, so there is no need to say anything more. The official just asked from the eunuch who had known the thoughts of the empress dowager and his ministers, and the matter of enthronement was to follow the people's hearts. The reason why Your Majesty did not speak was that he felt that the ministers were negligent, so he was upset, so he was reluctant to agree. The eunuch told the official that the empress dowager and all officials had to find a way to make His Majesty follow this breath, and then the matter would be done."
Zhang Siwei was immediately overjoyed and said, "So that's it. Zong Hai is a really capable minister. This cabinet department has not entrusted the wrong person."
At that moment, Zhang Siwei nodded and said, "Zonghai, go back and rest. If this matter is done, our cabinet and the Empress Dowager will not forget your benefits."
Lin Yanchao hurriedly said, "I really don't dare to be a subordinate official, I just want to share the worries of the Zhongtang and the Empress Dowager and do my best."
Zhang Siwei then said to Dong Zhongshu: "Prepare a sedan chair immediately, I want to enter the palace to meet the emperor."
Afterwards, Lin Yanchao left Zhang Siweina and went to Shen Shixing Mansion.
This is also the trick to be an official. You must always think about reporting your work to your leaders.
When he arrived at Shenshi's residence, Lin Yanchao entered the second gate of Shenfu without reporting and went straight to the back house.
Lin Yanchao looked at Shen Shixing's face and was doing a set of health care work slowly.
Lin Yanchao stood quietly aside, and after Shen Shixing finished practicing, he stepped forward and said, "Master, this disease seems to be cured, and his body is better than before!"
Shen Shixing laughed and said, "My age is just one day, and my body is not worse than before. How can I be better than before?"
Lin Yanchao gave a few more compliments, and then the two entered the house and sat down.
Lin Yanchao reported to Shen Shixing about the past few days, and said it to the emperor one by one, and said it to Zhang Siwei, the only thing he had just omitted the matter of seeing Feng Bao.
Shen Shixing couldn't help but nodded and said, "Yanchao, if the Empress Dowager is willing to come forward, this matter will be accomplished. Even if it doesn't work, you have passed this level. Since you are worthy of the minister, you have also given an explanation to the Second Assistant and his colleagues. Of course, it would be even better if this matter is harmonious. The Emperor and Zhang Puzhou both want to thank you."
Lin Yanchao said: "The disciples just follow the four words "Sharpen the Yin and Yang" taught by his teacher. Whenever they encounter the middle way, how can they be worthy of the emperor and the ministers."
Shen Shixing said: "The so-called middle way is not that it is not that it is not that it is not that it is not that it is not that it is not that it is suitable for one 'reason', and then it is the word 'love'. This is the matter of the royal heir, family affection is often a word 'reason', and the emperor likes and dislikes you as a word 'love', and then love is the word 'hearted'. This is the middle way. As for emotion first and then reason, it is just a peacemaker."
When Lin Yanchao heard Shen Shixing's analysis, he suddenly said: "Disciple has received the teaching."
Shen Shixing smiled and said, "But Zhang Siwei, a person who is serious and has little personality, can value you so much, which shows how extraordinary Yanchao is. If you can gain a foothold in the inner court and continue to gain the trust of the emperor in the future, I think countless court officials will come to ask you first when they encounter problems in the future."
Lin Yanchao was so proud that he listened to Shen Shixing: "But you are really unwise to offend the Dasikong. Why don't you listen to what I have said to you in the past?"
Shen Shixing said this, and Lin Yanchao suddenly fell from the cloud to the bottom. (To be continued.)
