After the court hearing in the east room outside the Meridian Gate was over, the ministers walked out in twos and threes.
It was not yet noon, and the ministers were too embarrassed to go home directly, so they had to go sit in their respective government offices.
Among the ministers, ministers, and ministers who came to participate in the court trial, Lin Tailai must be the most familiar with Wang Zhiyuan, the minister of household affairs, so he naturally went with Wang Situ.
"This is my first time attending a court meeting." Lin Tailai suddenly said on the way.
Wang Situ was in a daze. Actually, if he thought about it carefully, today seemed to be brother-in-law Lin's first time?
But he didn't realize this at all just now, not just him, it seemed that everyone didn't realize it.
I don't know why, but everyone seemed to feel that Lin Tailai had attended many court meetings.
If Wang Situ also knew the terminology of hundreds of years later, he would know that this phenomenon is called the Mandela Effect.
Perhaps it was at the previous court meetings that Lin Tailai's physical body was not present, but his spiritual consciousness was attached to small pieces of paper and other items, and was strongly projected into the venue, leaving a profound psychological imprint on everyone.
.
I also heard Lin Tailai complain: "As a newcomer, participating in the court meeting for the first time, I was very nervous and worried.
But Brother Wang, you won’t help me, a newcomer, so you just watch me being bullied by others?”
Wang Situ retorted: "In the Dongchao room just now, you were the one speaking six out of ten times. How can I help you speak?"
Also, brother-in-law Lin, why are you so nervous and uneasy? You said you are a newcomer, but you don’t even pretend!
Lin Tailai graciously forgave Wang Situ, "Forget it today, after all, it is the first time, and it is understandable that we are unfamiliar with each other.
When we attend court meetings together in the future, Brother Wang will look at me more often!"
Wang Situ: ""
When brother-in-law Lin summoned Wang Xiangmeng, he, the head of the Wang family, said nothing. Later, when he summoned Wang Xiangqian, he still remained silent.
Today, brother-in-law Lin began to want to help him, but no one in the Wang family could help him!
Just as he walked out of Chengtian Gate, someone suddenly called from behind: "Lin Jiuyuan, please stay!"
Lin Tailai seemed to be taboo about something and did not dare to stop, but said to Wang Situ: "Brother, look back for me, who is calling the ghost?"
Wang Situ looked back and said, "It's Yang Tianguan!"
Yang Wei, the Minister of Civil Affairs, is the oldest person in the court today. He is over seventy years old this year. Lin Tailai cannot be too rude and can only stop and wait.
After Yang Tianguan caught up, he said, "Lin Jiuyuan will write the memorial for today's court trial, right?"
The Heavenly Official was also very troubled. A court trial that had gone smoothly turned into a seminar on "Jin Ping Mei". How to write this memorial? Do you talk about "Jin Ping Mei" in the memorial?
Lin Tailai pretended to be surprised and declined, saying, "Isn't this appropriate? The court trial is presided over by Mr. Yang, the head of the foreign dynasty. How can I write a memorial?"
This meaning is also very clear. Cleaning the land is a matter between you and the cabinet, and Lin Tailai only wants to kill and not bury him!
Yang Tianguan reasoned again and said: "Although I am in charge of the court trial, you are the one doing the talking 80% of the time. If you don't write the memorial, who will?"
Lin Tailai said very humbly: "There are not that many. My speech accounted for less than 80%, only 60%."
Only? Yang Tianguan was choked for a moment, and after being stunned for a moment he said without doubt: "That's it, Zhang Shu, you will write the pen, and the performance will be presented tomorrow!
And no matter whether you write it or not, I definitely won’t write it anyway!”
After the old official finished speaking, he waved his sleeves and left without waiting for Lin Tai to reply.
Although no formal memorial has been reported today, the situation at the court trial of Luo Yuren has been completely reported to the cabinet and palace.
After all, those people from Jinyiwei Official School and Zhongshushe who were watching were not blind or deaf.
After the Dongchao room dispersed, the cabinet collectively fell silent after receiving the results of the court trial.
I originally thought that the political arena would be in turmoil again, and all parties would start various games around Luo Yuren and his memorial.
The emperor will not give up, and some ministers will not give up either, and some ministers want to fish in troubled waters.
In order to put out the fire, the cabinet has prepared several plans and is waiting to be used depending on the situation.
The result was all in vain, and the serious political atmosphere was completely ruined by a copy of "Jin Ping Mei".
Old Xi Jue of Wang Suge glanced at the screen of Wang Suge's hometown and said with something meaningful in his words: "You are so clever that you are misled by your cleverness."
Originally, everyone wanted to persuade the emperor to keep the memorial silent and put the matter to rest, but only you, Wang Si, wanted to add fuel to the fire and proposed some kind of public trial.
Doesn’t your heart feel so cool now? Do you still want to create a god and make a saint? It feels so cool right now!
Shen Shixing had no time to ridicule Wang Jiaping at the moment and carefully thought about how to deal with the aftermath. Because of his position, he thought more than most people.
For example, before, his main consideration was how to appease the emperor, but now he has to consider how to hold down the emperor's endless worries. This is the fate of the first assistant.
At the same time, Shen Shixing had been waiting for the "Guan Bai" from Yang Wei, the Minister of Civil Affairs.
When the cabinet was not strong at the beginning, all ministries would submit their reports directly, and they would not greet the cabinet in advance.
Later, after the power of the cabinet was expanded, on some important matters, the Sixth Ministry often had to shut down the cabinet in private before formally reporting the matter.
For example, today's important court trial should theoretically be reported by Yang Wei, the Minister of Civil Affairs.
However, according to the rules, before the official report tomorrow, Yang Wei should communicate with the chief assistant in private today to determine the caliber before officially submitting the report.
However, Shen Shoufu waited until the afternoon, but still did not receive Yang Wei's message. He couldn't help but wonder. Could it be that Yang Wei, a man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, also had different aspirations?
So Shen Shoufu sent someone from Zhongshushe to the Ministry of Personnel to ask Yang Wei directly.
Half an hour later, Zhongshushe came back and reported: "Yang Tianguan has something to say, and the memorial has been written by Lin Jiuyuan, and he has nothing to do with it."
"Playing the piano randomly!" Shen Shoufu couldn't help but cursed. How could Lin Tailai be allowed to write such an important memorial in a random way?
The most important thing is that Lin Tailai is also half of the parties involved in the memorial. How can the party be allowed to write the memorial by himself? Does Yang Wei still have any principles?
At this time, the eunuch Chen Ju appeared in the cabinet, and Shen Shixing asked: "Does the Holy Spirit have any will?"
Chen Ju announced the decree with an expressionless face: "The emperor will visit the Wenhua Palace tomorrow and personally listen to the report of Luo Yuren, the court judge. All the ministers who participated in the court trial will go to the palace to meet the emperor."
Shen Shixing: ""
The sun really rises from the west, and the emperor actually takes the initiative to hold a small court meeting!
When Shen Shoufu was summoned to the Yude Palace yesterday, he was still thinking that the emperor was getting lazy and was not even willing to go to the Wenhua Palace.
Unexpectedly, the emperor would soon visit the Wenhua Palace, but Shen Shoufu, who had always insisted on keeping things peaceful, would rather the emperor not visit the palace this time.
The joy of people is known to everyone on the road.
Even across the three main halls and Qianqing Gate, Shen Shoufu seemed to be able to hear the "quacking" laughter coming from Yude Palace.
However, after yesterday, I will be able to see my most beloved emperor again tomorrow. The total number of interviews with the emperor in these three days can catch up with the total number of interviews in the previous six months.
After returning home from get off work, Shen Shixing asked his eldest son Shen Yongmao to go to the Lin Mansion in person.
"What's the matter?" Lin Tailai didn't even put down the pen in his hand, saying that he was very busy tonight and had no time to chat.
Shen Yongmao replied seriously: "I am here to guide you on my father's orders and teach you how to become a mature courtier as a newcomer."
Lin Tailai said succinctly and concisely: "Say something human."
Shen Yongmao replied again: "Before submitting the memorial, the content of the memorial must be disclosed to the chief minister of the cabinet."
"I know, I will do it next time! See off the guests!" Lin Tailai continued to write quickly with his head down.
The next day, the morning sun still rose from the east, and there were new clouds on the Five Phoenix Tower.
The ministers were once again waiting outside the Wenhua Palace, feeling as if they were in another world.
After the first court meeting, Lin Jiuyuan Tailai was about to go to court for the first time.
There are many types of court meetings. Today's court meetings are regular meetings, and they are small court meetings with limited number of participants.
As for the large-scale and tiring large court and early morning court, ministers no longer expect them to continue.
The emperor ascended to the throne, ministers entered the palace, and then the mountains roared. Everything seemed so familiar yet strange.
After the ceremony, as the writer of the memorial, Hanlin Academy representative Lin Tailai held the memorial and read expressionlessly:
"After textual research and comparison, Luo Yuren's "Wine, Sex and Wealth" is undoubtedly a copy of "Jin Ping Mei", and the censor Qian Yiben and others also expressed their approval yesterday."
Lin Taiyuan believed that the report was completely truthful, neither exaggerated nor fabricated, and his discussion of yesterday's court trial was very objective.
Everyone around was speechless. Qian Yiben did say something like "even if Luo Yuren's Memorials are similar to Jin Ping Mei" yesterday, but that was just an angry comment. Can you take advantage of it?
In the end, Lin Tailai gave a conclusion: "No matter what Luo Yuren thought in his heart, since there is a fact that he copied "The Plum in the Golden Ping", in the eyes of others, he must think that the emperor was maliciously ridiculed by Luo Yuren."
Due to some taboo reasons for His Holiness, Lin Tailai could not directly write in the official document "Luo Yuren regarded the emperor as Ximen Qing". He could only hint vaguely, but everyone understood it.
Bang! Suddenly there was a muffled sound from the throne. Emperor Wanli slapped the armrest fiercely, raised the corners of his mouth but forced his face to twist and said:
"I'm very angry! I'm very sad! How could there be such a minister? Tell me, how can this happen?"
For the emperor, any acting skills regarding facial expressions are all futile. Anyway, ministers cannot look up at the emperor and generally cannot see the emperor's expression.
According to normal procedures, at this time, comrades should jump out to rescue Luo Yuren.
During the rescue process, he had a fierce confrontation with the emperor, which ended with him being imprisoned by the imperial staff.
But today, comrades really can't carry out protective resuscitation for Luo Yuren. Every time he opens his mouth, he will definitely be fooled by "Jin Ping Mei".
But the clear forces who regard themselves as righteous in their hearts never lack the courage to express their opinions.
Immediately, several officials came out in unison and reported to the emperor: "I have something to report to you!"
This situation made other ministers very strange. Is there really such a stubborn person in the world? Who dares to challenge Lin Tailai even though he is like this?
These people seem to be fighting for the foundation of the country? Emperor Wanli asked expectantly: "Are you going to distinguish between Luo Yuren?"
Censor He Zhuo, the elder brother with more seniority, spoke up and said: "He Zhuo, Zhong Huamin, Wang Shende, Zhong Yuzheng, Shu Hongxu, etc., jointly petition here to make "Jin Ping Mei" a banned book!"
The rest of the ministers: "???"
If you can't handle Lin Tailai, why don't you go and make "Jin Ping Mei"? What kind of sober thinking is this?
Emperor Wanli was immediately disappointed. This proposal was really meaningless.
At this time, Lin Tailai asked several science and education officials: "May I ask you, what does it mean to be a banned book?"
He Zhuo replied righteously: "The meaning of a banned book is that it is forbidden to be published and distributed, it is forbidden to discuss it publicly in the court, and it is forbidden to conduct public research and discussion!"
To other people's ears, this actually means: Lin Tailai is not allowed to mention "Jin Ping Mei" in the court, Lin Tailai is not allowed to abuse "Jin Ping Mei" to stigmatize the Qingliu forces, and Lin Tailai is not allowed to use "Jin" to learn
The name of expert is flaunted in the market.
But to be honest, even Lin Tailai, an "expert", could not oppose the banning of "The Plum in the Golden Ping".
But for Lin Tailai, he doesn't have to use "Jin Ping Mei" as a weapon, but he can't let others think that the weapon in his hand was knocked out by the enemy!
You can't lose your face by going out to hang out!
So after Lin Tailai thought about it for a while, he said with great emotion: "Since the early age of the emperor, he has been undistracted and devoted himself to sacred learning. From then on, he took care of everything. In his spare time, he only browsed the teachings of his ancestors. He must have never read anything like "Jin Ping Mei".
Miscellaneous books."
Everyone: "???"
Are you talking about the emperor? Is it the emperor who is sitting on the throne now?
Emperor Wanli was also stunned. What do you, Lin Tailai, mean by these words? Are you looking down on my reading volume?
But from the abnormal words, there was a hint of fun.
Lin Tailai turned to several officials and continued: "No matter what, as a minister, you cannot let your Majesty make decisions when you are confused and completely ignorant!
Since you petitioned to make "Jin Ping Mei" a banned book, you have the obligation to let His Majesty understand the nature of this book and why it is banned!"
Damn it! Those who react quickly in the palace have already sensed the murderous intention!
Lin Tailai reported to Emperor Wanli: "Therefore, I am requesting He Zhuo and other co-signed officials to come forward. First, explain the book "Jin Ping Mei" to His Majesty in detail, so that the Sutra feast can be reopened for this purpose.
Secondly, let them present the book "Jin Ping Mei" to His Majesty for the royal family to read and understand the situation!"
He Zhuo: ""
Damn it! Lin Tailai, you bastard who doesn’t want to die well, you have a rotten heart!
Present "Jin Ping Mei" to His Majesty and then explain it in detail. Is this something Qingliu can do?
As long as you do it, you will be nailed to the pillar of shame! Later generations will only record you telling the emperor "Jin Ping Mei", and will not care about your special reasons!
Pfft! I don’t know which of the ceremonial supervisors broke the rules in front of the king and laughed out loud.
Hearing is false and seeing is believing. Lin Tailai is so cunning that this situation can be reversed.
Emperor Wanli also came to his senses and said humbly: "Lin Tailai's words make sense. I have never heard of this book, and I don't know who Ximen Qing, Pan Jinlian, Li Ping'er and Chunmei are.
Therefore, I am really confused and do not understand your profound meaning, so I need to be taught and explained in detail."
Maybe the topics will be boring, maybe going to court will be boring, but Lin Tailai will never disappoint.
