Chapter 402 Believe in the organization (please vote for me!)
In fact, everyone knows that "Jin Ping Mei" is a strange book about worldly sentiments, and it cannot be viewed with a colored eye.
Everyone also understands that the talent of "Lanling Xiaoxiaosheng" is beyond doubt, and there is no problem in leaving his name to future generations.
However, every contemporary scholar-official who is talented enough is unwilling to admit that he is a "Lanling Xiaoxiaosheng", let alone being said to be a "Lanling Xiaoxiaosheng".
Once you are labeled as the author of "Jin Ping Mei", how can you continue to engage in "political enlightenment" in a sanctimonious manner?
As the big brother of the middle-level Qingliu forces, Chen Younian, a doctor in the Literary Selection Department of the Ministry of Personnel, is still doing his best to protect Zhao Nanxing's reputation and refuting Lin Tailai's fallacies:
"The main body of "Jin Ping Mei" is written in Henan Mandarin, and Zhao Jun is not from Henan. How can he use Henan Mandarin skillfully?"
Lin Tailai answered in a flawless manner: "Zhao Nanxing is originally from the north, and he once served as an official in Henan for seven years.
So it’s not a problem for Zhao Nanxing to write in Henan Mandarin, or are you questioning his learning ability?”
Chen Younian still refused to admit defeat and continued to question: ""Jin Ping Mei" also uses a lot of Southeast Hebei and Shandong dialects."
But Lin Tailai's argument was equally airtight: "Zhao Nanxing is from Beizhili, not far from southeastern Hebei and western Shandong, and has every opportunity to investigate.
Besides, the northern plains area is not like the south, where the pronunciation is different and the customs are different, so there is still a lot of communication between different places."
Chen Younian upheld the spirit of never abandoning or giving up, and he was very tenacious and unyielding in questioning:
""Jin Ping Mei" also uses the dialects of Jiangnan and central Zhejiang. Zhao Jun has never been to the south. How do you explain it?"
Lin Tailai suddenly pointed at Chen Younian and replied lightly: "Who doesn't have a few friends? Aren't you from Central Zhejiang?
It is human nature for friends to communicate with each other, and it is not unusual for you to assist Zhao Nanxing."
Chen Younian: "."
Damn it! Why are you still implicated?
After Lin Tailai thought twice, he pointed at Gu Xiancheng and said, "You are from Jiangnan. You should have assisted your friends in writing!"
Gu Xiancheng: "."
Apart from helping Zhao Nanxing read "The Theory of Four Pests" aloud, Gu Xiancheng didn't say a few words from beginning to end today. Why do you, Lin Tailai, always point the finger at him?
Lin Tailai glanced around and asked, "Who else is there?"
Mr. Lin was probably the first person who dared to ask such questions to all the officials in the Ministry of Personnel.
Seeing that no one was talking, Lin Tailai finally concluded: "So after my careful analysis, Lanling Xiaoxiaosheng should be Zhao Nanxing, but he completed the creation with the help of friends."
When making this concluding speech, Lin Tailai stood in the middle of the banquet and looked around.
But as soon as Lin Tailai finished speaking, he heard the sound of tables and chairs moving from behind.
Then Lin Tailai saw that the people opposite him were looking behind him, with a look of horror on their faces.
Lin Tailai had experienced many battles over the years, and he immediately judged that someone must have stood up and attempted to attack him from behind.
So Lin Tailai pulled away without thinking and turned around. Then he saw someone furious, holding up Tie Ruyi and hitting him hard.
Is it Zhao Nanxing? It’s Zhao Nanxing! It’s Zhao Nanxing! He’s anxious! He’s anxious!
Lin Tailai seemed to be stunned, his movements were sluggish, and he didn't even completely dodge!
Then Zhao Nanxing's Tie Ruyi hit Lin Tailai's right shoulder, making a muffled sound.
For some reason, Zhao Nanxing felt that his palms were a little numb from the shock.
He had faced similar attacks countless times, but Lin Tailai was able to dodge such attacks with his quick reactions and agile steps.
But I don’t know what happened today, but Lin Tailai was actually hit. Maybe he was unprepared and was suddenly attacked from behind, and he really couldn’t react.
"Ah!!" Lin Tailai yelled out in pain. He stood unsteadily for a moment and took several steps back. It seemed that his right shoulder was injured.
In the astonished eyes of all the officials, it was like a white jade pillar holding up the sky, holding a purple golden beam across the sea, and suddenly fell to the ground!
Armed with an iron fist, a golden whip and a peach blossom spear, the Ming Dynasty's number one martial artist, who was invincible in both north and south, was actually injured on an unexpected occasion!
When Lin Tailai broke out of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and fought against dozens of Jinyi guards at the police school, nothing happened!
Do all the officials in their officialdom have witnessed history with their own eyes today?
Lin Tailai, who had stabilized his body, covered his right shoulder with his left hand, his face twisted in a ferocious manner, and shouted fiercely at Zhao Nanxing: "I'm going to kill you! I'm going to kill you! I'm going to kill you!"
Seeing that Lin Tailai couldn't lift his right arm, everyone realized that Lin Tailai's right shoulder injury was probably serious!
Then I saw Lin Tailai completely ignoring his injuries, shouting, and fiercely pressing towards Zhao Nanxing!
Zhao Nanxing probably didn't expect this result. When he saw Lin Tailai, who was as crazy as a wounded beast, he felt timid and backed away in fear.
Chen Younian and Gu Xiancheng, one on the left and one on the right, quickly stepped forward and separated Lin Tailai and Zhao Nanxing.
The incident happened so suddenly that no one knew how to react.
In the Ming Dynasty, fighting was not uncommon, and it was not uncommon for famous people to get into fights.
Li Mengyang, the leader of the literary world a hundred years ago, even beat Uncle Guo and even knocked out two of his teeth.
Crash! Zhao Zhigao, the right servant of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, overturned the desk, walked to the front, and shouted sharply:
"Zhao Nanxing! You are such a vicious person. You dare to injure your son before the test, especially your right shoulder. You are as evil as a snake and a scorpion!"
All the officials in the Ministry of Civil Affairs have never seen the good old Zhao Zhigao speak so harshly.
But after tasting Zhao Zhigao's words, everyone immediately felt that Zhao Nanxing was in big trouble.
Now Lin Tailai's identity is not that he is a martial arts champion, but a candidate who is about to take the examination, and he is also Jieyuan from Nanzhili!
Examinations have always had a very unique status in the minds of Chinese people. Most things can be compromised for the sake of exams, let alone the imperial examinations.
By the same token, preventing candidates from taking exams is a very unethical thing and will be cast aside by public opinion.
So another aspect of today's incident is that Zhao Nanxing beat a talented candidate who was nominally excellent and very promising to pass the Jinshi exam until he couldn't even lift a pen to write!
Especially since this candidate also has a strong backer, the situation is even worse.
If the examinee's right shoulder was deliberately injured, it would be even more vicious.
No wonder Lin Tailai was so angry that he seemed to want to kill someone.
As the saying goes, it takes a hundred days to break a muscle. With more than two months left before the National Examination, my right shoulder was injured, which may affect the National Examination!
For scholars, this is the most important exam! Passing the Jinshi exam is the real way to ascend the dragon's gate, raising the upper limit of life to a very high level!
Facing Zhao Nanxing who was being protected, Lin Daguan knew that he would not be able to "revenge" today.
He could only stare at Zhao Nanxing fiercely, and said through gritted teeth: "I will remember Mr. Zhao's kindness in my heart. When I recover from my injury, I will personally repay your family!"
What does it mean to repay your whole family? Everyone heard the overwhelming hatred in Lin Tailai's words!
Others may have no choice but to say harsh words, but Lin Tailai definitely has the ability to execute his harsh words.
After saying the harsh words, Lin Tailai turned around and left the official department without looking back, holding his right shoulder.
Zhao Nanxing was in a daze. He really wanted to create a heated discussion tonight, but it was not this kind of heated discussion.
Lin Jieyuan argued that Zhao Bulang wrote "Jin Ping Mei", Zhao Bulang became angry and Tie Ruyi seriously injured Lin Jieyuan?
This news is erotic and violent, and it is sure to be a big hit.
Yang Wei, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, sighed and ordered the servants on the left and right: "Go to the Hanlin Academy and the Ministry of Household Affairs quickly and inform the chief minister and Wang Situ about this!"
During this Winter Solstice Festival, most of the yamen in the capital arranged banquets, and as usual, the cabinet's academicians attended the banquets with the Hanlin Academy.
After all, in terms of the nominal system, the cabinet is the branch of the Hanlin Academy stationed in the court, and the essential attribute of the bachelor is also the Hanlin Ci official.
So if you want to find the first assistant to apply for Shixing at this time, you have to go to the Hanlin Academy.
When the clerk of the Ministry of Civil Affairs reported the news to Shen Shixing, the chief assistant felt incredible. Lin Tailai could still be beaten?
The plot of Lin Tailai beating Zhao Nanxing seriously and then breaking out of the official department is more reasonable.
But after repeated confirmations, Shen Shoufu was also shocked by this winter solstice vicious wounding case.
In anger, Shen Shoufu quickly sent a message to Shen Yongmao, asking his son to visit the Lin Mansion as soon as possible.
Then Shen Yongmao hurriedly left from the banquet of the Ministry of War and rushed to the Lin Mansion in Li Ge Old Alley.
At the gate of Lin Mansion, Shen Yongmao met Lin Tailai's wife and nephew, Wang Xiangmeng, the censor of Jiangxi Province.
Without asking, we knew that Wang Xiangmeng must have received the news and came to visit immediately, and he also represented Wang Situ of the Ministry of Revenue.
However, Shen Yongmao noticed that Wang Xiangmeng's face didn't seem very nervous.
The two of them entered the backyard of the Lin Mansion and saw that Lin Tailai's right shoulder had been covered with medicine and bandaged with a cotton kerchief.
Moreover, the entire right arm was tied and fixed to prevent the shoulder from being pulled. It looked very serious and tragic.
After putting on the robe, the right cuff was empty, as if an arm was broken.
Shen Yongmao asked: "What do you want to do next?"
He knew that although Lin Tailai was injured, there were still fifty fierce servants in the Lin Mansion who were extremely experienced in fighting and dared to fight and kill.
According to Shen Yongmao's own assessment, even the two hundred officers and soldiers of the Beijing camp may not be able to defeat these fifty servants.
Lin Tailai asked, "What did Prime Minister Shen say?"
Shen Yongmao replied: "My father said that no matter what you do, he will try his best to support you. At the worst, he will be dismissed from office."
Of course Shin Shi-hyung, who has a thorough understanding of human nature, knows that saying things like "take the overall situation into consideration, don't do random things, and trust the organization" at this time will only make people like Lin Tailai even more rebellious.
Lin Tailai was still very dissatisfied and said: "Can your father be able to serve as the chief minister for a few more years? Don't resign easily and silently!"
Shen Yongmao said: "Anyway, I have conveyed what my father meant."
Lin Tailai sighed and expressed his thoughts: "We are all people with status, not villagers, how can we act willfully and destroy the overall stability of the court at the end of the year?
So regarding this injury, I believe in the court and Yuji. With the joint efforts of relevant parties, the matter will be properly handled."
Shen Yongmao: "???"
Are you experiencing auditory hallucinations in your ears? Does it sound like Lin Tai said such mature and steady words?
If I read it correctly, Lin Tailai was injured on his shoulder, not his brain!
Lin Tailai was injured this time, and it was the first time he had been seriously injured like this!
After being attacked, where did Lin Tailai go?
But at this time, after conveying his father's words and asking Lin Tailai's words, Uncle Shen Yongmaoshen's mission was completed.
He didn't want to disturb Lin Tailai's recovery anymore, so he stood up and left.
After watching Shen Yongmao leave, Wang Xiangmeng, who came in with him, suddenly reached out and patted Lin Tailai's right shoulder.
When Lin Tailai seemed to be grinning in pain, Wang Xiangmeng was the first to speak: "Stop pretending!"
Lin Tailai put away his painful expression and asked with great interest: "How did you tell?"
Wang Xiangmeng replied: "I don't know about you yet? As long as the situation permits, under the outer robe, you must also wear a vest-like leather armor made of several layers of cowhide.
It's winter now, and you won't want to wear leather armor without feeling stuffy.
The shoulders are also protected by several layers of cowhide, so how could it be possible that the muscles and bones would be broken after a single blow?"
"My dear nephew, just know it yourself and don't talk nonsense to others." Lin Tailai asked worriedly.
Wang Xiangmeng smiled meaningfully and said: "My little uncle, you don't want others to know about pretending to be injured, right?"
Lin Tailai: "."
I have always threatened others like this, but today it is myself and others who threaten me like this!
Wang Xiangmeng said full of hope: "I have fallen in love with a beautiful young lady, but my second uncle, an old-fashioned man, disagrees.
I have no other choice but to ask you to borrow some money to buy her and then temporarily place her with you."
Lin Tailai, who was pinched by his great nephew, could only agree reluctantly: "Okay."
When Shen Yongmao returned home, Shen Shixing had also returned from the Hanlin Academy, and then Shen Yongmao conveyed Lin Tailai's original words to his father.
Shen Shoufu sighed: "What Lin Tailai revealed is that he has tried his best to create an excellent shooting environment.
And down below, it’s up to me, the chief minister, to represent the imperial court and take action to deal with the aftermath.”
Shen Yongmao didn't have any ideas, he just did whatever his father said.
Then Shen Shoufu said: "I won't go to the cabinet tomorrow, I will just wait at home for Lin Tai to come.
He will definitely visit me to discuss follow-up matters with me and how to maximize benefits."
The next day, Shen Shoufu waited at home until the afternoon, but there was still no sign of Lin Tailai coming to the door.
Shen Yongmao hurried back from the Ministry of War and reported, "I saw Lin Tailai going to the Ministry of Rites!"
Shen Shixing said in confusion: "Why did he go to the Ministry of Rites? If you want to complain and petition, the Ministry of Punishments and the Metropolitan Procuratorate are more useful than the Ministry of Rites."
Shen Yongmao replied: "I asked about it, and he said that he is now an examinee and is organizationally under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Rites in charge of examination affairs, so I have to ask the organization to come forward!"
Shen Shixing: "."
When Lin Tai said, "Believe in the imperial court, believe in the chief minister," did you mean the Ministry of Rites, not the chief minister?
Suddenly I remembered that the Minister of Rites was Shen Li, the spiritual leader of the Qingliu forces.
