Chapter One Thousand and Eight Examiner Candidates

Jiang Yinglin simply made it clear when submitting a memorial and asked the emperor to pay attention to the opinions of the cabinet.

In addition, Chen Jing, the deputy chief of the Ministry of Personnel, submitted a memorial on the second day, asking the emperor to be appointed as the concubine Gong, or directly appointed the crown prince.

As soon as the two men submitted their memorials, the emperor immediately responded, believing that Jiang Yinglin "does suspicion that he is selling straightforward" and demoted him to the Dianshi of Guangchang, Shanxi. Dianshi is an official who is not as good as a ninth rank.

As for Chen Jing, who submitted a memorial, was demoted from the Ministry of Personnel (from the fifth rank) to the pedestrian (the eighth rank).

The emperor made such a quick decision and used the method of demoting the official and seizing his post, which was obviously very tough, and told the officials that he would discuss the issue of becoming a crown prince.

Most officials are also keen on this.

However, after the two were demoted, Sun Rufa, the head of the Ministry of Justice, submitted a memorial again, asking the emperor to plead with mercy, asking Jiang Yinglin and Chen Jing to restore his post and praised him. The emperor was furious and appointed Sun Ru** as the county magistrate of Chaoyang County, Guangdong.

It would be fine if Jiang Yinglin and Chen Jing wrote a letter, but Sun Rufa was demoted, which caused an uproar in the capital.

Sun Rufa was a Jinshi in the 11th year of Wanli. He was very famous in the same year. He was the first in the Shuntian Prefecture Academy examination. He has been in Beijing for many years and many scholars have known him.

But none of these caused an uproar, because of Sun Rufa's family background.

Sun Rufa's great-grandfather Zhonglie Gongsun Sui was the governor of Jiangxi during the Hongzhi period.

At that time, King Ning Zhu Chenhao intended to rebel and ordered Sun Sui to attend the banquet. During the birthday party, King Ning asked Sun Sui to rebel with him, and Sun Sui was the palace to curse the thief, which was the day of death for the country.

Because of this, Sun Sui was admired by scholars all over the world. As Sun Rufa, who was Sun Sui's great-grandson, wrote a memorial to the emperor at this time to seek the foundation of the country, but was demoted by the emperor to a county lieutenant from a distant Guangdong.

The emperor is worthy of this. Is Sun Sui, who was the day of death for the country?

Sun Sui just said a few words that should be said, but the emperor actually demoted him. As the emperor, for a woman (Pret Zheng), he doesn’t even want the country?

Therefore, not only scholars suddenly became excited, but even the officials were angry. The officials were immediately popular. Isn’t they just black hats?

I don't want it anymore.

After Sun Rufa, dozens of officials each carried explosives and submitted a memorial, asking the emperor to enthrone the crown prince and establish the country as soon as possible.

So things got so big.

What Lin Yanchao passed by Tongzhengsi that day was a long line of officials who were asking for memorials.

The team officials did not speak, everyone was silent,

Then, after handing the memorial to the Tongzheng Department officials, several officials kowtowed to the imperial city in the north seriously, stood up and left with their heads raised.

A few years ago, when Zhang Juzheng was in great power, many officials submitted memorials and were beaten to the court and were punished for being punished and lost to the official position.

In the grand ceremony of the century, two hundred officials knelt in front of Zuoshun's door and cried to Jiajing for advice.

Thousands of years ago, Confucius led a group of students to lobby among the princes and promoted the Zhou rituals.

There is a principle that is universally applicable in the world, that is, the system of etiquette. No matter how high the imperial power is, it cannot be higher than the system of etiquette.

Lin Yanchao looked at the tea for a while and then prepared to go to Hanlin Academy.

Well, the matter of fighting for the country's foundation is no longer suitable for me. Lin Yanchao should be in the public housing, holding hands warmer in his hand, and then drinking wolfberry to make tea.

Just as he was about to return to the yamen, Lin Yanchao saw Zhu Geng, the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites.

"Brother Jin Ting!"

Zhu Geng smiled and said, "Brother Zong Hai! He happened to be going to Hanlin Academy to find you. He never thought he would meet you here... You are here to submit a memorial too!"

Lin Yanchao laughed and said, "How could Brother Jin Ting think so?"

Zhu Geng said worriedly: "It was you, it's hard to say. My good brother was shocked by the world. Today, I met you in front of the Tongzhengsi Sect again. Brother Yu couldn't help but feel sweating."

Lin Yanchao said: "I thank Brother Jin Ting for your concern, but I don't plan to submit a memorial."

Zhu Geng breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good. These little ministers are not afraid of being related to the matter in order to gain fame, but we are not the body of ministers."

Lin Yanchao almost laughed when he heard this. We just like your attitude of being unrelated to your own affairs. This is life.

Zhu Geng said again: "By the way, Zong Hai has something to discuss with you this time, so come to the Ministry of Rites to sit down."

“Okay.”

Lin Yanchao came to the Ministry of Rites and Zhu Geng's public housing.

After serving tea, Zhu Gengping stepped back and said, "Zonghai, can we know that the chief examiner of the Ministry of Rites this time?"

Lin Yanchao remembered what happened to Zhang Wei yesterday and smiled and said, "Brother Jin Ting, would you recommend me as the chief examiner of the examination?"

Zhu Geng smiled and then said seriously: "Brother Yu really has this intention."

Lin Yanchao smiled and said solemnly: "What's going on? The chief examiner of the Hengwen Ceremony on behalf of the emperor. How many ministers are asking for it but cannot get it? Why didn't Brother Jin Ting make a plan?"

Zhu Geng said: "Zonghai, you and I have been together for many years, and I will not hide it from you. This time, Brother Jianwu is determined to win the exam chief examiner. He said before that, if Brother Yu comes forward to compete with him for the exam chief examiner again, this is not a friendship in the same year."

Lin Yanchao thought to himself that Zhang Wei did not come forward. Since Zhang Wei, Zhu Geng, and Shen Yiguan were both in the same year. Shen Yiguan said that I would compete for the position of the chief examiner of the society, so they would not be able to come forward, otherwise they would have a smaller vote.

Lin Yanchao said: "So you push me out and fight with him? How can you be so good? Wouldn't your brother be blamed for me?"

Zhu Geng smiled and said, "This is not the case. We didn't fight with Brother Jianwu in the same year. He must be sure to win the lead examiner this time. But he didn't expect that Shen Zongbo clearly opposed Brother Jianwu as the examiner, so this matter was lingering."

"So a few of us discussed that in addition to Brother Jianwu, you will be elected Zong Hai. Although you have little experience, you are very famous in the Qingliu. Sanyuan and the third place are the world's literary sect. If Brother Jianwu cannot be the chief examiner, then you will make up for it. Brother Jianwu also agreed to this matter."

Lin Yanchao suddenly realized that he was running away.

Zhu Geng seemed to know Lin Yanchao's thoughts and immediately said, "Brother Zonghai, we are not asking you to make up the numbers. Shen Zongbo is highly valued by the emperor. If he really opposes Jianwu as the examiner, then even if Yuan Fu pleads with Jianwu in front of the emperor, it will be useless. So this is an opportunity for you."

Lin Yanchao thought that even if this matter was not done, he would not lose anyway, but he said, "But this time I was in Hanyuan, I recommended the Scriptures and the question of the matter at the same time. Your Majesty has not responded to this matter for a long time, and it seems that the hope is slim. If Your Majesty does not allow it in his heart, how can I be the chief examiner of the examination?"

Of course Zhu Geng knew this, but they had no other choice but to Lin Yanchao, so they could only do it as a living person. So they said, "Zonghai, you don't have to worry about it. Brother Yu's opinion, you are the Holy Heart's expectation."
