Pan Sheng not only expressed his objections to Lin Yanchao, but also had some statements about establishing charity schools.???

Pan Sheng has been in office for many years. Although he has never served as a personal official, he is in charge of a department and has very experienced experience in handling government affairs. Therefore, although what he said is not much more clever than Lin Yanchao's suggestions, he is much more pragmatic.

Lin Yanchao took it for granted. Only after Pan Sheng gave a little advice did he realize that his experience in handling political affairs was still shallow.

At the end, Lin Yanchao said to Pan Sheng with a sincere expression: "Zhongtang is dedicated to the public, but the lower officials misunderstood Zhongtang in their hearts. They really feel sorry for it. I apologize to Zhongtang here."

Pan Sheng smiled and said, "What's the matter with Zonghai? Yuanfu... It was the former Yuanfu who once praised you in front of me, saying that you are the leader among the young officials in the court today. I have been with Yuanfu for decades, but I have never seen him have such high expectations for any official. Zonghai should not disappoint him and me. In the future, if I do something wrong in the future, you can tell me in person, and you don't have to worry about me because I am a master."

Lin Yanchao did not expect that Zhang Juzheng had such a high opinion of him in front of Pan Sheng, and remembered that Zhang Juzheng's carriage slowly drove away from the imperial city that day.

Lin Yanchao couldn't help but feel moved, so he thanked Pan Sheng with courtesy.

Lin Yanchao thought to himself that since he had solved the misunderstanding, should he remind Pan Sheng and Zhang Siwei of his conspiracy against him? But he promised Zhang Taizheng that he would not help each other yesterday. It was really a dilemma to be caught in it.

After a while, Lin Yanchao said, "Does the officials come to the central hall to find the officials to argue about this matter in front of the emperor?"

Pan Sheng nodded and said, "It's true that this is the case, but I have already submitted a memorandum this year to argue with the emperor. It would be great if Zong Hai could explain it to me a few more words."

Lin Yanchao breathed a sigh of relief and thought to himself that Pan Sheng had been an official for many years, but he still had this caution. It seemed that he was worried too much. But for some reason, he vaguely felt that something was wrong.

But whether it is appropriate or not, Lin Yanchao thought that this would be fine, and it would be better not to involve party disputes.

So Lin Yanchao retired from Pan Sheng’s room.

Lin Yanchao was a few steps away from Wenyuan Pavilion and saw someone intercepting him and said, "Lin Zhongyun, please stay!"

When Lin Yanchao saw that the person who came to intercept him was Dong Zhongshu, he asked, "What is Dong Zhongshu's teaching?"

Dong Zhongshu said: "I didn't dare to take it when I saw the sect. I just heard that Lin Zhongyun had just come out of the duty room of Mr. Pan, so I came to inquire. Did Mr. Pan summon Lin Zhongyun to come and tell you what he said?"

Lin Yanchao knew that Dong Zhongshu was worried that he would communicate with Pan Sheng and leaked Zhang Siwei's case to deal with Pan Sheng. It would be okay if he explained it to him, but if Dong Zhongshu told him not to defend Pan Sheng, then he would undoubtedly be trapped in a party dispute.

Zhang Siwei is very good at it. Pan Sheng has no chance of winning in this battle. If he doesn't tell him, it will be bad if he offended Zhang Siwei.

But if you don’t consider the filth between Zhang Siwei and Pan Sheng, you will do whatever you should have done, then this will be much simpler.

Lin Yanchao frowned and asked, "Does Dong Zhongshu ask this question for every person who enters and leaves the office of Mr. Pan Ge?"

When Dong Zhongshu heard this, he said unhappy: "Lin Zhongyun, don't pretend to be confused. You will not forget what you promised to our young master yesterday, right?"

When did Lin Yanchao be questioned in person?

Lin Yanchao raised his face and scolded: "Dong Zhongshu, you are also an old man in the cabinet. You don't even know these rules? Interrogating the cabinet's instructions is like spying into the Privy Council. What should you do?"

"No matter what I said to Mr. Pan, you have no right to ask. If you have to ask, please ask Lord Yuan Fu personally, and I will explain it to him in person!"

Lin Yanchao scolded a few words, which attracted the fire people passing by in the distance and the palace ladies to see them.

Dong Zhongshu's face turned pale, but Lin Yanchao had the word "Li" and spoke to the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet and talked to officials. If he said that, Lin Yanchao could write to him.

Dong Zhongshu had to bow and smile and said, "Lin Zhongyun, I'm wronged. Isn't it okay to apologize to you? Our elders and the young master attach great importance to and trust you. I just asked, did you keep your promise in the room just now?"

Lin Yanchao sneered and said, "You don't have to ask anything from me anymore. As for whether I am a person who keeps my promise, there is no need to explain to others. I still have something important to do, so say goodbye!"

After saying that, Lin Yanchao left with his sleeves.

Seeing Lin Yanchao gritting his teeth, Dong Zhongshu had to return to the duty room to report to Zhang Siwei.

Zhang Siwei's expression changed immediately when he heard this. The teacup in his hand fell to the ground and the tea water spilled all over the floor.

When Dong Zhongshu saw this, he was so scared that he knelt on the ground and said repeatedly: "Don't calm down, calm down."

Zhang Siweiming heard the noise and walked out of the door, and sighed: "I have told you how many times. Lin Yanchao must not offend him. Do you keep it in your heart?"

Dong Zhongshu kowtowed and apologized: "Ge Master, I know I was wrong. I couldn't help it. I forgot that you said Lin Yanchao can be a friend but not an enemy..."

Zhang Siwei said: "If you don't talk about Lin Yanchao, I'm afraid of me, just talk about you intercepting the emperor's minister and spy on the words of the old master. He can write to you at any time. You have been by my side for many years, but you don't even know this degree."

Dong Zhongshu kowtowed repeatedly, and Zhang Siwei said: "You will prepare a generous gift to Lin Yanchao tonight. Even if you kneel in front of him, you will ask him to relieve this. If you can't, you will go back to your hometown in Shanxi."

Dong Zhongshu thought to himself that he was a confidant at least, so he would not have lost all his shame when he apologized to Lin Yanchao. But he could only do it: "Yes, Yuan Fu..."

Zhang Siwei waved his hand to signal him to get up, and Dong Zhongshu took action to clean up the teacup pieces on the ground for Zhang Siwei.

After packing up, a secret letter from the outside cabinet official sent him a secret letter. Dong Zhongshu answered the letter and opened it and changed color and said, "Just just now, news came from the study room, saying that Pan Sheng had submitted a memorial to the emperor early this morning, and this matter was still before he summoned Lin Yanchao."

Zhang Siwei said, "So that's the case. I thought it was yesterday. He argued with the emperor and then beat me up. Then he summoned Lin Yanchao to go and asked him to argue a few words in front of the emperor."

Dong Zhongshu said angrily: "This matter is not a secret, so why didn't Lin Yanchao communicate with us?"

Zhang Siwei frowned and said, "What are you saying? Lin Yanchao has said that he will not help each other. I can't see any inappropriateness in this matter."

Dong Zhongshu said: "But if this memorandum is handed over, wouldn't the emperor understand his misunderstanding of Pan Sheng? Everything you have planned for Yuan Fu will not work. Will it slow down tomorrow's Wei Yunzhen, Wang Guo and others' impeachment of Pan Sheng?"

Zhang Siwei shook his head and said, "No, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Pan Sheng has just entered the cabinet and the foundation is not stable. In addition, Feng Bao has been sick again these days and has no time to pay attention to the affairs of the court. If it is too late, he will not be able to move Pan Sheng."

Dong Zhongshu offered advice: "Yuanfu, I have a plan, so why not ask Wei Yunzhen and others to impeach Pan Sheng before he was published."

Zhang Siwei paved and pondered for a while and said, "If you act hastily, you will be in trouble. It will be said that the death of Empress Xiaomu is the day. I have already asked Your Majesty to send Yangwu Hou and Pan Sheng to pay tribute. Today, Pan Sheng is still in the pavilion and cannot be saved. I think they will send Pan Sheng to impeach Pan Sheng tomorrow."

Dong Zhongshu said: "Yuanfu, if the emperor was not dissatisfied with Pan Sheng, this impeachment might not be possible. After all, Pan Sheng was the minister appointed by the former Yuanfu to join the cabinet."

Zhang Siwei said: "It's okay, I'll tell Wenshu that I'll leave Pan Sheng's memorial for one night and present it to the emperor tomorrow."

Dong Zhongshu couldn't help but quiver and said, "The Master of the Pavilion is really a clever plan. If the emperor sees Pan Sheng's report again, then he will not be a defense book, but a defense of himself fearing the crime, which will make his crime more effective."

"Pan Sheng is so hard to escape from the removal."

Zhang Siwei said without complacently: "I am worried that Feng Bao is furious because of this. He is now sick, and if he recovers from illness, he will not stop."

"You asked Zhang Qi to bring 20,000 taels of silver to Xu Jue, and Zhang Dashou and asked them to say good things to me in front of Feng Bao, and then I said that I had no disrespect to Feng Bao, and then stopped after I defeated Pan Sheng. I will prepare a generous gift. I will go to Liang Menglong's mansion tonight."

Liang Menglong is a fellow townsman of Feng Bao. His granddaughter married Feng You, the younger brother of Feng Bao, and is currently Feng Bao's most trusted minister in the court. However, Liang Menglong's clan moved from Shanxi and also had friendship with Zhang Siwei.

Dong Zhongshu asked, "Why should the master of the cabinet bend to Liang Menglong's mansion? Just send someone to do this."

Zhang Siwei said: "Liang Menglong participated in many secret matters of Feng Bao. If it was reported, the emperor and the empress dowager would not meet. The more I had a good relationship with Liang Menglong, the more Feng Bao was afraid of it."

The next day, Lin Yanchao was heading to Wenhua Palace to serve Zhi.

At this time, I saw the eunuchs in front of the door looking hurried.

When Lin Yanchao saw Zhang Jing coming, he couldn't help but ask: "What happened to Eunuch Zhang?"

Zhang Jing said panickedly: "Lin Zhongyun, Your Majesty is furious and wants to issue an order to dismiss Mr. Pan."

Lin Yanchao asked in surprise: "What's going on?"

Zhang Jing said: "This morning, Your Majesty's Imperial Palace handles government affairs. He met the Zhejiang Daotest Censor Pan Shizhen and impeached Pan Ge Lao for ten crimes, saying that he accepted bribes when he was appointed Minister of Rites, and was a greedy person who competed for the promotion."

"Later, there were Zhang Dingsi, the military department chief, Wang Jiguang, the military department chief, Sun Wei, the military department chief, Niu Weibing, the military department chief, Wei Yunzhen, and the imperial court chief, and the imperial court chief, and the imperial court chief, and the impeachment of Pan Ge Lao was not worthy of being a cabinet grandson."

Lin Yanchao knew that Zhang Siwei had taken action after hearing this list. Among the above impeachments, except for Pan Shizhen and Niu Weibing were Jinshi in the second year of Wanli, such as Zhang Dingsi, Wang Jiguang, Sun Wei, Wei Yunzhen, and Wang Guo were all Jinshi in the fifth year of Wanli.

In other words, these five people are all Zhang Siwei's disciples.

Lin Yanchao asked, "Did Mr. Pan deliver a memorial to Your Majesty?"

"Yes, Your Majesty was still shocked when he saw the seven people impeached him, but Mr. Pan was furious as soon as he reported the report, saying that he would dismiss Mr. Pan. Now he ordered me to summon several auxiliary ministers to discuss matters. You see, Mr. Pan went to visit the tomb again this morning. If he was present, he could at least argue a few words."
