After all the cabinet ministers arrived, Shen Shixing showed the "Ten Deadly Sins" bullet to Wang Jiaping and Zhao Zhigao.
After Wang Jiaping read it, he remained silent and did not express his position.
But Zhao Zhigao said something fair: "Li Guan is not a public official, so how can he impeach a cabinet minister after hearing about his words? This is not an example!"
Shen Shixing sighed: "It seems that what I have done has made people angry and resentful. Even a police official who has been out of town all year round dares to impeach me! Do you really want to see me resign?"
Hearing that something was wrong, Zhao Zhigao chased Shen Shixing into the inner room of Wenyuan Pavilion and advised:
"Shou Kui must calm down! The Li Guan who was shot is not even a public official, he is obviously a dead soldier!
Its purpose does not care whether the impeachment is successful, it just wants to drive a wedge between Shou Kui and Lin Jiuyuan!
As the saying goes, if you want to get rid of someone, you must first cut off their wings!"
Shen Shoufu suddenly asked: "Then who is Yuyi?"
Zhao Zhigao was stunned and said subconsciously: "Isn't this important?"
Shen Shixing glared at Zhao Zhigao and said, "I think this is very important."
Zhao Zhigao responded weakly: "What's more important is that, Shou Kui, you can't fall into the trap of alienation."
Shen Shoufu snorted coldly and invited Zhao Zhigao out without comment.
Zhao Zhigao had no choice but to go out quickly and sent someone from Zhongshushe to report the news to Lin Tailai.
But the person from Zhongshushe who was assigned to report the news went out and wandered around for half an hour before he found Lin Tailai in Jiaofangsi Hutong.
After hearing the news, Lin Tailai was also shocked. He had never seen anything like this before, and there was no similar experience in history for reference.
Previously, the chief minister hinted that if he was impeached, he would help resolve it. But now that it is like this, how can he help?
If you still take action in this situation, wouldn't it be equivalent to committing the "Ten Deadly Sins" in the bullet?
It can only be said that the Qingliu Party members evolved quite quickly, and Lin Tailai couldn't make up his mind for a while.
So we can only wait and see for the time being to see what the first assistant wants to do.
Lin Tailai then quickly went to the Ministry of War and asked Wai Lang Shen Yongmao, a member of the Ministry of War, to try again after returning home tonight.
After Shen Yongmao returned home that night, he asked Shen Shoufu: "I heard that my father was impeached again today?"
Shen Shoufu asked, "How do you think I should handle it?"
Shen Yongmao answered wisely: "A small impatience will mess up a big plan, a man can bend and stretch, and a prime minister can hold a boat in his belly."
"Get out!" Shen Shoufu asked the big boy to get out smoothly.
Lin Tailai sighed after receiving the wind, and it seemed that he could only deal with it temporarily.
Anyway, we cannot further intensify the conflict when the first assistant is in a sensitive mood.
The next day, Lin Tai came to the Ministry of Personnel for inspection, and happened to meet Wang Tianguan at the gate about to go out.
While saying hello, he asked by the way: "What can happen that could alert Laozhongzai to go out?"
Wang Tianguan replied: "For the two official positions of Minister of the Ministry of Industry and Minister of the Ministry of Industry, the ministers of the imperial court will discuss the recommendation today."
Nomination by officials, recommendation by ministers, and final approval by the emperor are the main methods for selecting officials in the imperial court.
Lin Tailai said casually: "At the previous ministry meeting, the reason why I agreed to nominate Zeng Tongheng as minister of the Ministry of Industry was mainly for your prestige.
If the candidate nominated by the Ministry of Personnel cannot pass the court recommendation, wouldn't it be a serious blow to your prestige as the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel?
So I let Zeng Tongheng go and let you accumulate more prestige."
Wang Tianguan replied: "Between you and me, there is no need to talk like this, right?
By the way, the literary conference is about to start, Jiu Yuan, don’t forget about this and set aside a day.”
Although he may be the biggest beneficiary, Lin Tailai still complained instinctively: "It's so rushed, can this be considered a conference?"
As Lin Tailai pointed out, the overall trend of literary focus is to continuously move downwards, from the pavilion to the Langshu, and from the Langshu to the mountains and forests.
Under this trend, the capital also gradually lost its status as a literary center, and local literature rose to prominence.
If a literary conference is hastily held in the capital, 90% of the big names in the literary world will not be able to attend.
Regarding this question, Wang Tianguan was very sure to Lin Tai: "As long as you and I participate, it will definitely be a literary conference."
Lin Tailai no longer pursues perfection, as long as he can achieve his goal.
"There is one more thing." Wang Tianguan added: "How about I give you the position of leader of the New Literary League at this literary conference?"
Lin Tailai refused without thinking: "No! I can't be the leader of the alliance yet."
Wang Tianguan can't understand, are you, Lin Jiuyuan, sick again? You just like to be the deputy, not the leader?
If you are not the leader of the alliance, is there any difference in what you do? Why not just be the leader?
"If I were the leader of the literary world, and the literary world conference jointly requested to change the song of the prisoner presentation ceremony, wouldn't it look too much like a self-directed performance?
That would be completely unconvincing to the outside world and would give others an excuse to question!"
Wang Tianguan sighed helplessly. It seemed that he, as the leader of the literary world, would have to serve as the leader of the literary world for another one or two years. It was such a waste of his energy!
After leaving the Ministry of Civil Affairs, Lin Tailai went to the Hanlin Academy, where he sat in Chen Xueshi's apartment and talked about the world.
"The results of the court recommendation will come out today, and then they will be reported to the court. If you hurry up, your new appointment will be announced within a few days.
I am here to congratulate Bachelor Chen in advance for getting what he wanted!"
Thinking of leaving the Hanlin Academy, Chen Yubi felt a little sad: "Who would be willing to avoid it like this unless they had no choice but to do so?
Now to tell you the truth, if I don’t leave, I’m afraid I will be forced to concurrently serve as the Zhanshi Mansion, and then I will have to take a stand on the East Palace issue.”
Lin Tailai comforted him and said: "The position of the left minister of the Ministry of Industry is really good, much better than the minister of punishment of the Ministry of Justice who is far away in Xicheng.
Currently, the main task of the Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Works is to supervise the work of the Longevity Palace. This is a good job that does not deviate from the emperor's heart. As long as you make no mistakes, you will definitely be promoted."
Chen Yubi nodded and said: "I admit this, I appreciate it!"
So Lin Tailai went on to say: "Who would you recommend as the next head of the Hanlin Academy and as a teacher of Shujishi?"
The Ci Chen system is different from other yamen in many ways, and it has a more "acquaintance society" meaning.
In other yamen, people are superiors and subordinates, but in the CI system, they are all seniors.
In the CI system, it is normal for the predecessor to recommend the successor, but it is also normal for the recommendation to be criticized by the entire Hanlin.
If in other yamen, when a minister is about to resign, it is impossible to ask him to recommend the next minister.
Hearing Lin Tailai's question, Chen Xueshi replied: "As a person who is going to be the left minister of the Ministry of Industry, what dignity can I recommend to my successor?"
This means that our transaction has been completed.
I'll help you deal with Sun Jigao, and you can arrange for me to be the left minister of the Ministry of Industry. As for the rest, forget it.
At the same time, in the East Palace, Wang Tianguan, who had already secured his position as Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, was skillfully presiding over the court affairs.
"Our Ministry of Officials wants to recommend Zeng Tongheng as Minister of the Ministry of Industry. What do you think?"
The Dajiu ministers all spoke one after another. Lu Guangzu, the censor of Zuodu, and Sun Piyang, the minister of the Ministry of punishment, were the first to express their agreement. Wang Situ, the minister of the Ministry of household affairs, hesitated for a while and also agreed.
Seeing that the situation seemed to have become clear, Yu Shenxing, the Minister of Rites, suddenly expressed strong opposition.
Later, Wang Yi'e, the minister of the Ministry of War, Zhou Cai, the minister of Dali Temple, and Xu Shen, the minister of Zuo Tongzheng, came forward to oppose it.
Under this situation, the proposal to elect Zeng Tongheng as minister of industry obviously cannot be passed by force.
If Zeng Tongheng, the left minister of the Ministry of Industry, could not be promoted, then Chen Yubi's proposal to move to the left minister of the Ministry of Industry would naturally be invalidated.
Wang Tianguan looked confused. He didn't expect Lin Tailai's joke in the morning to actually come true.
The nomination of the Ministry of Personnel really failed, and my face as the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel was stepped on.
Who is causing trouble in secret?
Everyone thought beforehand that today's hearing would be just a formality and there would be no twists and turns.
Because this is the result that both the Qingliu Party and Lin Tailai agreed to, what else could happen?
Even people like Lin Tailai did not find any way to take advantage of the situation and went to the scene to supervise the battle in person, which shows the certainty in his heart.
In such an accident, the event ended hastily.
Although no one said it explicitly, everyone felt the giant hand reaching out from the cabinet.
In the public room in the main hall of the Hanlin Academy, Lin Tailai was still trying to persuade Scholar Chen: "I, Lin Tailai, are called Jin Bu, and Bu means Ji Bu, who promises a thousand pieces of gold. If you help me one more time, I will definitely reward you!"
At this time, Wang Tianguan's entourage rushed over and shouted outside the door: "Master Jiuyuan! Tingtui is over!"
The astute Bachelor Chen was shocked and subconsciously shouted: "It's broken!"
If it had ended normally, Wang Tianguan would not have made the mistake of sending his entourage to notify Lin Tailai, so it was probably an accident.
"Can't you?" Lin Tailai said doubtfully: "There is no reason for an accident."
But the facts do not depend on human will. The attendant then said: "The request was not passed!"
This result was really unexpected for Lin Tailai, and he was immediately shocked and confused.
This is the result agreed by himself and the Qingliu Party members. There should be no more than three people in the court who have the strength to veto this nomination, right?
Scholar Chen was even more excited. He stood up and said, "How could this happen? What went wrong?"
Lin Tailai replied: "Of course"
But he stopped mid-sentence. Even if he thought of it, it was not the right time to say it publicly.
Chen Xueshi asked Lin Tailai: "Don't you promise a thousand pieces of gold? Aren't you the most reputable? Why did you break your promise with me?"
Faced with Xueshie Chen's doubts, Lin Tailai was a little ashamed, "Don't panic yet, wait for me to check the wind!"
Then Lin Tailai was too embarrassed to sit down and left in a hurry.
But Lin Tailai knows that at this time, many people will pay attention to his performance.
He didn't want to show any abnormality, otherwise he would be regarded as guilty.
So after Lin Tailai left the Hanlin Academy, he visited various yamen as usual.
It wasn't until evening that he started visiting relatives and came to visit Wang Situ, the Minister of Household Affairs.
To Lin Tailai's surprise, he met Yu Shenxing, the Minister of Rites, at the Wang family.
Although Yu Shenxing and Wang Situ are both from Shandong, they are not the same people in every aspect.
Yu Shenxing was partial to literature and art and was a poet, and did not belong to the mainstream faction. He was regarded as a rival by Lin Tailai and was secretly suppressed.
Wang Situ studied and wrote questions, and followed the practical route of managing the world. Later, he formed an alliance with Lin Tailai.
Apart from greetings during the holidays, the two of them basically had no contact with each other.
So Yu Shenxing's appearance at Wang's house tonight really surprised Lin Tailai.
Although Lin Tailai served as the chief guest of the Ministry of Etiquette, he never took the initiative to visit the officials of the main department when he went to the chief guest's office, so he did not see Yu Shangshu for a long time.
At this time, I suddenly saw Yu Shenxing. I felt that he was much haggard, and his temples were turning gray. It seemed that he had been really anxious recently.
You should know that Yu Shenxing is the youngest minister, not yet fifty years old.
As the Minister of Rites, he must be at the forefront of the national dispute. It is difficult for outsiders to imagine the pressure involved.
Lin Tailai joked: "I just harassed the Jiaofang Secretary twice recently, and I didn't affect the small treasury of the Ministry of Rites. Why did the eldest uncle chase me here?"
Wang Situ said from the side: "Jiu Yuan, please show some respect to me!"
"What's wrong?" Lin Tailai asked in surprise.
How could I be disrespectful? I usually talk like this.
Wang Situ said again: "Shen Shoufu gave me an ultimatum, either join the party or get out!"
Lin Tailai blurted out his accusation: "It turns out that you, Uncle Da Zong, ran away from the ticket! No wonder the nomination failed today! You ruined my credibility of a thousand pieces of gold and a promise!"
Wang Situ: "."
Is this the point? Compared with your so-called "a promise of a thousand dollars", aren't there signs that deserve more attention?
Lin Tailai thought to himself that independents like Yu Shangshu would not offend others by voting against it unless their own interests were involved.
Today, Yu Shangshu took the lead in strong opposition. Obviously there was a special reason behind it.
From what Wang Situ said just now, it seems that Yu Shangshu was manipulated by the chief minister by some unknown means.
Moreover, the first assistant wanted to be treated as a dog by Shangshu, so Yu Shangshu started to panic? He even ran to the Wang family in panic to ask for advice?
This is the tragedy of the independents. Usually they are happy alone, but once they encounter strong external forces, they find that they don’t even have a reliable comrade, and they can only seek medical treatment in a hurry.
Wang Situ definitely couldn't bear the pressure from Shen Shoufu, so he looked at Lin Tailai.
After Lin Tailai pondered for a moment, he said to the minister: "If you don't want the party to attach the title of chief minister, there is nothing you can do.
That is to join our renewal society preparatory group. Although you, the Minister of Rites, are in trouble, you still have a certain value."
Poof! Wang Situ spit out a sip of tea! Lin Jiuyuan, do you know that this is called taking advantage of others?
It’s not like you don’t know what kind of irritable state Shen Shoufu is in right now. Why do you dare to compete with Shoufu for people?
After Yu Shenxing was stunned for a while, he walked away directly.
What's the difference between you, Lin Tailai, and Shen Shixing? Don't you, those of you who are full of partisanship and opposition to dissent, despise the independence of others?
When Wang Situ came back from seeing Yu Shenxing off, he heard Lin Tai say: "Yu Shangshu has not been here for a long time."
Wang Situ ignored Yu Shenxing and asked again: "Shen Shoufu suddenly went berserk. Are you okay? Do you want to show weakness?"
Lin Tailai comforted him and said, "It doesn't matter. As long as Wang Tianguan and you support me, the situation will be impregnable!"
Strength and interests will bring Shen Shoufu back to his senses, and you must believe in the cultivation of a politician."
After talking to Wang Situ, it was already midnight. Lin Tailai didn't bother to bother anymore and just rested in the palace.
Early the next morning, before Lin Tailai left the palace, someone suddenly took pictures of the gate of the palace.
Anyone who understands the world knows that if someone bangs on the door like this, something bad is probably going to happen.
Lin Tailai walked to the vestibule and saw someone kneeling in front of Wang Situ, crying: "The old lady is gone!"
Damn it! Lin Tailai was shocked. What happened to him in the past two days? He always has a crow's mouth!
Wang Situ's mother was indeed still alive and well over eighty years old. Now she is gone, and Wang Situ wants Ding You.
