When Zhao Yongxian was complaining about Wang Shizhen, the old leader of the alliance, he did not know that Shi Xing, the left deputy capital censor, who was also the fifth son of the retro faction, was also complaining about Zhao Yongxian.
What Shi Xing was thinking was that you, Zhao Yongxian, knew that Lin Tailai was in the capital, yet you dared to hold an elegant gathering with great fanfare. Didn't this give Lin Tailai an opportunity to cause trouble?
Didn’t the lessons learned by Mr. Wang from the Suzhou Literary Forum and the Mid-Autumn Festival Night on the Qinhuai River in Nanjing last year not be enough?
Even Alliance Leader Wang Lao shuns his edge, how can you, Zhao Yongxian, be stronger than Alliance Leader Wang Lao?
Although Zhao Yongxian may have felt the dissatisfaction from his colleagues, he also had other reasons.
This gathering was scheduled in advance, and at that time we did not expect Lin Tailai to come to the capital.
Moreover, the student Tang Wenwen was the number one scholar in the first half of the month, so it is only by holding the gathering now that he can become the number one scholar. If it were later, the popularity would have passed.
Seeing that Zhao Yongxian was still stunned and didn't say anything for a long time, Lin Tailai took the initiative to ask: "Do you have anything else to say, Bachelor Zhao, about my qualifications?"
In fact, Zhao Yongxian has a lot of flaws. If you want to target Zhao Yongxian, there are no other "hands" you can use.
For example, in history, Zhao Yongxian had no choice but to withdraw from politics after being accused of "breaking off his engagement".
However, it would be too wasteful to spend precious resources on just a gathering, so Lin Daguanren just used sophistry to suppress Zhao Yongxian today, which is enough.
"Hahahaha!" Lin Daguan, who had the upper hand, laughed several times, "Since Bachelor Zhao no longer questions my qualifications, I will seek justice for Mr. Xu Wen!"
Shi Xinghe, another one of the five successors of the retro school, asked: "Then what justice do you want to seek?"
But Lin Tailai ignored Shi Xing and crossed over Shi Xing to attack Zhang Jiayin, the Minister of War.
Then he kicked the ball back and asked: "How does Da Sima think we should give justice to Xu Wenchang?"
The generation with the highest status among today's retro-minded people is, of course, the famous Hou Qizi.
Zhang Jiayin, as one of the last seven sons, is of course the leader of the retro sect in the capital and even in the north.
Therefore, if official Lin wanted to seek an explanation, he would of course go directly to the biggest Zhang Jiayin.
Zhang Jiayin, who was in his sixties and had been in the position for a long time, had experienced a lot of experience. After watching the excitement for a long time, he didn't panic when he saw that it was finally about him.
After taking a sip of tea, he responded to Lin Tailai calmly:
"It was Wang Yuanmei who advocated the rejection of Xu Wenchang back then. If you want to seek justice for Xu Wenchang, you should go to Wang Yuanmei. What are you making a fuss about here?"
Lin Tailai: "."
Among the big guys of the retro school, there are still such pragmatic people?
After thinking for a while, Lin Tailai tried again: "Da Sima, as one of the seven sons of the retro school, is a giant in today's literary world.
Now when it comes to Xu Wenchang, don’t you even dare to express your attitude? If word gets out, I’m afraid it will disappoint colleagues in the literary world.”
Zhang Jiayin answered meaningfully: "I am first the crown prince's eunuch, minister of the Ministry of War, and bestowed with Feiyu uniforms, and then I am the seventh son of the retro-style sect.
At this point in my life, what else can I ask for? A false reputation is like a floating cloud to me, and I no longer need to bear in mind the turmoil in the literary world."
Lin Daguan, who has always liked to show off in front of others, was finally put on a small show by others today.
An ordinary minister is an ordinary minister, but if he adds the title of palace protector, he becomes a senior minister, and the court order will be moved forward.
And usually, those who are granted the title of Crown Protector are those with the title of Prince Shaobao. It is very rare to be granted the title of Crown Protector of the first grade.
This shows that after accumulating a lot of achievements and then gaining the appreciation of the emperor, he was promoted from the crown prince's younger brother to the crown prince's Taibao, not to mention being given the flying fish suit.
Therefore, the subtext of Zhang Jiayin's words is that I have achieved great honors and achievements in the literary world.
Therefore, the literary status of Seven Sons of the Retro School has come to the back for me and is no longer the most important one.
You, Lin Tailai, don't even think about using false prestige in the literary world to kidnap me.
Even if I don’t want the title of Seventh Son of the Retro-style Queen, what will happen?
After thinking about it, Lin Daguan finally realized that he seemed to have encountered a tough idea this time.
Zhang Da Sima's statement is really sober for the world.
It also reveals a sense of detachment and achieves inner balance.
In addition to being sober in the world, Zhang Jiayin, the Minister of War, also has a natural advantage.
That is, the Minister of the Ministry of War is the person who presides over the martial arts examination, and the results of the martial arts examination are in Zhang Jiayin's hands.
This power is of no use to most scholars, but for Lin Daguan, who is determined to cultivate both civil and military skills, it is a bit restrained.
Therefore, the more Lin Daguan thought about it, the more difficult it became, but he had to find a way to break Zhang Jiayin's inner balance and destroy his detached mentality.
While he was thinking about it, he said: "I, Lin Tailai, love both literature and martial arts, and I often feel troubled by my identity.
Therefore, I pay special attention to those ministers who are both civil and military. After careful summarization, I selected the four great civil and military ministers of this dynasty!
The first, Wang Yangming, learned martial arts carefully and was eventually awarded a title as a civil servant;
The second Yang Yiqing, from the governor to the first assistant, can be said to be a general or a prime minister, and he also has articles and classics passed down to the world;
The third Wang Tingxiang, one of the first seven sons of your Xiuxiu sect, also served as the Minister of War and the Governor of Jingying. He is also talented in literature and military strategy."
Everyone nodded while listening. The combination proposed by Lin Tailai was very creative.
I don’t want to brag, but the three people mentioned so far are relatively fair. They are all recognized as having both civil and military skills, and have profound attainments in all aspects.
Of course, Wang Yangming's comprehensive achievements are unique, but the other candidates are not too bad, they are all top ministers.
However, after naming the three candidates, Lin Tailai deliberately stopped.
Wang Zhiyou, who came to see the fun, couldn't wait to ask: "You were talking about the top four before, so what about the fourth one?"
Lin Tailai replied: "The Big Four is just a common collective term that has been established by convention, and I am also accustomed to using the Big Four.
As for the fourth minister who is both civil and military, I am still considering it."
At this time, many people turned their attention to Zhang Jiayin.
Comparing Zhang Jiayin with his predecessors, famous ministers and Wang Ting, the Minister of War in the early Jiajing Dynasty, they are almost as if they were made from the same template.
They were all young high school scholars, both had served in local governments for a long time and had quelled rebellions, they were all among the "seven men of the retro style" in the literary world, and their final official positions were all ministers of the Ministry of War.
If Wang Tingxiang can be selected into the "Big Four", then Zhang Jiayin who shares the same template should certainly be selected as well.
Zhang Jiayin slowly put down the teacup and looked at Lin Tailai hesitantly.
Oops, this is a heart-pounding feeling! That number one is Wang Yangming!
Lin Tailai continued to say to Wang Zhiyou: "Actually, I only mentioned three candidates. Another reason is that I am determined to be the fourth!
So the literary world’s false reputation is still very useful. If there is no literary world’s false reputation, what will be used for selection?”
Zhang Jiayin: "."
Such a big retro-style empress, the seventh son and the Minister of the Ministry of War, is sitting here, and you, Lin Tailai, are ignoring you?
Or do you think that other than you, Lin Tailai, no one else can copy your ideas and make your own selections?
