One thousand and forty-one chapters up and down
Lin Yanchaofang left from Dong Pavilion and returned to Hanlin Courtyard, and saw Chen Jichuan coming to report.
Lin Yanchao knew something had happened and asked, "What's the matter?"
Chen Jichuan said: "The master has been impeached."
Lin Yanchao asked, "What's the point of impeachment?"
Chen Jichuan handed over a piece of yellow paper to Lin Yanchao.
Lin Yanchao looked at the above copy and saw that it was written by Liu Gongming, the head of the Ministry of Justice. When he wrote a memorial to impeach him to teach Shu Jishi in the Hanlin Academy, he did not teach Shu Changshi according to the original library courses, did not teach Shu Changshi, did not teach his writing, poetry, or etiquette, and taught some novel news, and even said that he had deviated from the scriptures and destiny. How could such a destructive act of the scholarly style be worthy of the teaching prime minister? Therefore, the impeachment seal required Lin Yanchao to be dismissed from office or changed to another position.
Lin Yanchao sneered and said, "It's just to stop me from submitting a memorial this time. It's not the first time I've been impeached. What's there to worry about?"
Chen Jichuan said: "Master, according to the law, an official is impeached, either by submitting a memorial to defend himself or suspended from his post to be impeached."
Lin Yanchao said: "Yes, this time I can't submit a memorial to myself, I'm quarrel with others at this point."
After saying that, Lin Yanchao said, "This matter is not imminent. I will talk about everything after I have met Yuan Fu."
Chen Jichuan nodded and made tea for him before leaving.
Lin Yanchao drank tea and pondered, thinking that it was probably Zhang Jing who disgusted him.
After a while, Lin Yanchao handed over the official duties and went to Wenyuan Pavilion.
Two ministers on duty in Wenyuan Pavilion immediately greeted Lin Yanchao when they saw that Lin Yanchao came.
One person said: "Mr. Lin, Yuan Fu and the Master of the Pavilion are talking to several ministries in the meeting room."
Lin Yanchao nodded and said, "Since that's the case, I'll just wait outside."
Another Secretariat smiled and said, "Yuan Fu has instructed that Mr. Lin is his own person, and he doesn't have to wait outside, just go to the payroll room."
Lin Yanchao nodded when he heard this. At that moment, two ministers invited Lin Yanchao to the Chief Supervisor's Office. One of them made tea for him with quick hands and feet, and the other spoke with Lin Yanchao, asking him if he wanted to take off his official hat or hand him a hand stove.
Those who can serve as the Secretary of the Wenyuan Pavilion and the secret information are not ordinary people.
These two Zhongshu were only in their twenties and were quite young, but they were very smart and capable.
Lin Yanchao looked at the two of them and couldn't help but remember the days when he helped Zhang Juzheng, Zhang Siwei and the others in the cabinet.
In history, in order to infiltrate the cabinet, the Donglin Party inserted a minor official named Wang Wenyan into the cabinet as the Secretary of the Secretariat and served as the secretary of the Central Secretariat to serve as the police officer of Ye Xianggao. With his advice, the Qi, Zhejiang and Chu Party was disintegrated.
Lin Yanchao chatted for a few words, and the two ministers knew that he had important things to report to Shen Shixing, so they didn't dare to talk too much.
Lin Yanchao sat on the large and comfortable chair in the Chief Supervisor's room. The sunshine in the room was very good, and it was spread on him. Lin Yanchao took a sip of fragrant tea and then thought about how to report to Shen Shixing for a while.
At this time, footsteps sounded outside the room. Lin Yanchao immediately opened his eyes and stood by the door.
The other two Zhongshu who were sorting out official documents were stunned and beat faster before he stood up.
When they stood up, Lin Yanchao had checked whether there was any misconduct in his hair and his official robe.
Waiting for the push of the duty door, Lin Yanchao immediately bowed and said, "Students have met their mentor."
Shen Shixing smiled and said, "I am still thinking about when you will come to see me."
After saying that, Shen Shixing signaled to retreat left and right.
After the door of the duty room was closed again, Lin Yanchao saw that Shen Shixing was in a good mood. He expected that he was busy meeting with several ministers of the Ministry of Personnel, Ministry of Revenue, and Ministry of Works in the morning, but he still didn't know about his impeachment.
Did I mention it at this time? Lin Yanchao thought about it and still felt that it was unnecessary. Such a thing is not worth mentioning compared to the abolition of Jingjun. If he helps Shen Shixing in everything, wouldn’t he seem useless?
Lin Yanchao immediately said: "Let your teacher wait for a long time. The student has been contacting the court for the past few months to cancel the army in the court. Now there are a few things that need to be decided by his teacher."
Shen Shixing reached out to keep warm in front of the charcoal basin and smiled: "With your nature, you are not sure about this matter, so you will not come to me. This time you come forward to contact me, is there anyone making things difficult for you?"
Lin Yanchao smiled and said, "How can you make things difficult for the students for the sake of your mentor?"
Shen Shixing smiled, and Lin Yanchao said, "But this time the student did not use the banner of his mentor, but only the ministers and officials were appointed as the minister, Qi Shichen, who needed his mentor to come forward."
Shen Shixing laughed and said, "This person is an old man with a skin and a boiling sore, and he has the most twists and turns in the courtiers."
Shen Shixing said a Suzhou dialect, and Lin Yanchao smiled in agreement.
"How did he speak?"
Lin Yanchao said: "He wants Yang Ting, the chief of the Left Officer of the Official Department, to take over the position of the Minister of the Official Department."
Shen Shixing was silent after hearing this.
Lin Yanchao immediately said: "Qi Shichen and his students told their mentor. He said that as long as Yang Tingxiang could take office, he could at least let there be no big news in the Censorate. When this person was appointed as a minister, he was the mentor's sponsor. Now he is using this as a bargaining chip. It is really rude to use this as a bargaining chip."
Shen Shixing took a sip of tea and said, "If you go back and tell me, I will agree. In addition, after he is full, I will recommend him as the Shaoqing of Taichang Temple."
The Shaoqing of Taichang Temple is a fourth-rank official, and the ministers are only seventh-rank official, and they are promoted to level six in one go.
However, the officials were transferred to the office and were able to serve as the Shaoqing of Taichang Temple. It is quite normal for the Shaoqing of Taipu Temple to be like the Jingqing of Jing.
But if you offend the big guy during your tenure, you will become Shaoqing of Nantaichang Temple or Shaoqing of Nantaipu Temple.
Shen Shixing said to Lin Yanchao: "When Li Zhi submitted a memorial to criticize him, Qi Shichen mostly ran for me in the path of science. Now that he is about to retreat, I can be considered a favor."
Lin Yanchao suddenly realized.
As for other matters, Lin Yanchao also talked about them one by one. At the end, he said: "Mr., students and other officials thought that after the abolition of the Jing army, the Ministry of Revenue would still provide the inner court with 300,000 taels each year, which is an additional amount, so he begged the teacher to cut one or two at the discretion of the saint. For example, the Ministry of Revenue would only give the inner court 100,000 taels a year."
Shen Shixing shook his head and said, "How is the difference between 300,000 taels and 100,000 taels and outsiders? Just a fifty step and a hundred steps."
"Even if those who do not share with me every year, they will still hold on to themselves. Instead, they will cut too much, and they will not say anything if they violate the will of the Holy One. If the Holy One thinks you are petty and are angry and do not allow the abolition of the Jing army, you and I will be wasted all your efforts."
Lin Yanchao heard Shen Shixing's words and knew that there were some sage spirits in the court.
In their eyes, giving the emperor 300,000 taels is no different from giving the emperor 300,000 taels. They should not be given, and one tael of silver is also unnecessary.
Even if you come forward to win 200,000 silver for the Ministry of Revenue, the emperor will be very unhappy, and these people will scold you. He cut off the 200,000 taels, so will the 100,000 taels of silver be repaid forever?
What should you do if you ask them? You can do it.
They said that they would argue with the emperor, and if the emperor refused, they would resign and refuse to do so.
This is the mysterious brain circuit of the stubborn people.
Lin Yanchao said: "My teacher, but the officials have already complained about the Ministry of Revenue's levy. When the students raised this matter with their colleagues for hundreds of millions of dollars, they accused me of being flattered. Even if they ignored the words, they could fight for one or one or two for Taicang. Last year, Shandong had a severe drought and Henan flooded, and the Ministry of Revenue still intended to pay money to Shandong. I don't know how many people died because of urging the quota. The money that was taken out from the hands of the people was just to raise these three thousand horses for His Majesty."
Shen Shixing said: "I don't know what you said, but officials should understand what scriptures and power are. The first thing now is to abolish the Jingjun as the best, and I will talk about the rest later."
Usually the conversation is almost the same here, but Lin Yanchao still argued: "Mr., can you discuss it with Your Majesty?"
Shen Shixing shook his head and said, "This matter cannot be discussed. Now as long as Qi Shichen and Hu Ke have no objection, even if one or two other censors are dissatisfied, they will not cause too much storm. Once this matter is successful, with the clear hope you have accumulated over the years, regardless of the clear and turbid currents of the court and the country, you think that Lin Yanchao has the ability to advise the emperor, so it will be a matter of time before you enter the cabinet and become the prime minister."
Lin Yanchao said: "Bachelors thank you for your teacher's cultivation, but students think that this Taicang silver is the common people, and precedents should not be opened lightly, and teachers should not ask His Majesty for your request."
Shen Shixing's face darkened and said, "The Holy Will Not Allow, What else do you do? Do you want me to take all the officials to Fengtian Gate and cry for advice?"
Lin Yanchao was speechless when he heard this.
After a pause, Shen Shixing said again: "Think about this matter carefully. If you still can't figure it out, I will change it."
What is the power of the chief minister?
That's it now.
Shen Shixing’s personality is easy to discuss, but it does not mean that he is really a person who is easy to discuss.
He wanted to replace Lin Yanchao and choose someone else to do this, that's not just a casual talk. Shen Shixing had a lot of candidates.
But Lin Yanchao bet that he would not, because now all officials are very dissatisfied with the emperor's refusal to the court, and this matter has already caused trouble to Shen Shixing.
Shen Shi acted to dispel this situation and had to use this matter to regain his impression of the emperor being flattered in front of all officials.
Lin Yanchao slowly delayed the matter for three months, which also made Shen Shixing’s choice less and less.
For Shen Shixing, there is not much time left, and it is easy to have too much risk in the face of the battle.
In Lin Yanchao's eyes, it's okay if you don't do it. Since you have to do it, you have to do it beautifully, leaving everyone with nothing to say.
But seeing Lin Yanchao said seriously, "The student did not mean to offend his mentor at all. He was just planning for his mentor. Now in front of the seat, there are the emperor above and the officials below. But he can't just listen to any side, and he can't become a mouse in the bellows and get angry at both ends!"
"Students hope that their mentors will be in a neutral position in the court to be in power. This is an opportunity. Please ask the mentors to trust the students again and let them go."
Shen Shixing didn't say anything, and the room was in a solemn atmosphere, and the two of them were particularly depressed.
Shen Shixing pondered for a long time and said, "The emperor who ruled the emperor and suppressed all officials has been searched by the emperor."
"Forget it, I will secretly expose it to the emperor, dismiss the grain and silver that the Ministry of Revenue has distributed to various provinces, and then the inner horse will be placed in the Jingying camp. This is the final bottom line. What do you think?"
Lin Yanchao was overjoyed when he heard this, "Student, thank your teacher."
