What he said to Fang Congzhe.

Lin Yanchao showed a look of praise. At this time, the concierge informed Li Tingji and Ye Xianggao had also arrived.

Lin Yanchao immediately asked the two to join in and discuss.

Li Tingji and Ye Xianggao said together: "Boe Da Zong, are we in Hanyuan arguing when we heard about the day of the day's auxiliary face of the sage?"

Lin Yanchao nodded and said, "That's true. The reason... Using Yuanfu's words means that it is not a minister who is not loyal to the king, but a king does not use a minister. As for the country's foundation, it is just a reason."

Everyone sighed when they heard this.

Li Tingji sighed: "I am not on either side, but I feel deeply that the king and the king are not the blessing of the country."

Ye Xianggao said, "If Yuan Fu leaves his post, the cabinet will inevitably be absent. I wonder what the Lord Master has plans? We will come here to ask for instructions today?"

After saying that, Li Tingji nodded and said, "Yes, we came to ask for advice today. But I didn't expect that Brother Zhonghan would take a step first as soon as he was released from the yamen, and he didn't say hello. It turned out that it was at Da Zong Bo."

After Li Tingji finished speaking, he glanced at Fang Congzhe and sneered twice on purpose.

The three of them are good friends and are all backbones of the Lin Party. Fang Congzhe did not discuss with the two of them and "persuading them to advance" first, which is really not a good friend.

Fang Congzhe did not explain anything about this.

Lin Yanchao asked back: "What do you think?"

Li Tingji and Ye Xianggao both said, "We all follow Da Zong Bo as our leader!"

Lin Yanchao was very happy to Ye Xianggao. In the past, he had a special status, but this time he finally successfully transitioned from a classmate's old friend to the top and bottom. A real man can rise and fall, and can lie dormant and leaps. In the past, old friends were at a high position, and the identities of the two sides were very different. If you insist on the same equal relationship as before, it would undoubtedly be unwise.

Lin Yanchao glanced at Fang Congzhe and immediately said, "What Zhonghan meant just now was to ask me to wait a little longer and not to hurry to enter the cabinet."

Li Tingji and Ye Xianggao looked at Fang Congzhe together, and they all felt deeply misunderstood him.

If you are "persuading" the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet, then this is a good thing, and of course you have to ask everyone to come together.

But if it is opposed, if Lin Yanchao is unhappy, it will be a risk.

Lin Yanchao immediately stated the reason why Fang Congzhe opposed it, and Li Tingji and Ye Xianggao said together: "So that's it, Zhonghan's words are reasonable."

Fang Congzhe smiled and said, "Where is the one who has a certain view in his mind."

The three of them looked at Lin Yanchao together, wondering what he thought in his heart?

Lin Yanchao took a sip of tea. When the three of them learned about the conflict between Wang Jiaping and the emperor, they did not think of anything else. Instead, they came to ask if they had the intention to enter the cabinet, which showed that the three of them were all confidants they could rely on.

Now Lin Yanchao must say something heart-to-heart to them to show his support.

Lin Yanchao immediately said, "If I ask what is the biggest taboo of being an official? Everyone has a set of principles. The troubles of ordinary people are that they are not worthy of their name. The same is true for being in a high position. This is what the saints say, "virtue is not worthy of their position."

"When you enter the cabinet, you now see that it is either the support of the Qing Dynasty or the support of Your Majesty, which is taken from both the upper and lower levels. Therefore, everyone thinks that you can enter the cabinet by being charmed by the upper and lower levels and sit firmly as the prime minister, but I think it cannot be generalized."

"When it comes to the 'virtue is not worthy of position' just now, what is a great virtue? A great virtue must be able to get his position, his fortune, his name, and his life. When we wrote articles, we all tested this question. I got the head of the Zhongfu test, and this sentence was also said in the Mansion test."

Speaking of this, Lin Yanchao looked at Ye Xianggao, and the two of them were in the same office as the same person. Of course, they remembered this question.

"A person with great virtue must get his position, his salary, his name, and his life. As an official, we first ask ourselves whether there is a great virtue? Can we be virtuous to match the position? But what is a great virtue? It is a great virtue that violates Yan Shang's admonition to ask for his fate as a great virtue, and honest and strict self-cultivation to cultivate oneself is a great virtue, and can those with great achievements be called a great virtue? The saint did not tell me."

After hearing this, the three of them understood what Lin Yanchao meant.

Lin Yanchao said: "Zou Yuanbiao, Gu Xiancheng and others believe that admonishing the emperor and using courtesy to the emperor is a great virtue, and I believe that it is beneficial to the people of the world and to benefit the country and the people is also a great virtue. This is a great virtue to do things for the people and seek welfare for the people of the world. If Lin can really do these for the people during his tenure as Minister of Rites, then there will naturally be a time to be virtuous and match the position."

"Therefore, as an official, I don't have to flatter the emperor, and I don't have to please all the officials. I will do it directly. What kind of court recommendations and what kind of order is worthy of the order!"

After hearing what Lin Yanchao said, the three of them were at ease and left Lin's mansion.

It was already evening at this time, and more than 20 officials including Xiao Liangyou, Zhong Yuzheng, Yang Hao, Tao Wangling, Yu Yuli, Yuan Zongdao came to see him, and there were even some officials who did not usually walk around.

These people are Lin Yanchao's confidants. Of course, their intention is to take advantage of Wang Jiaping's affairs to come to Lin's mansion to explore Lin Yanchao's tone.

After all, Lin Yanchao is now a popular candidate to join the cabinet. Let’s express their opinions or curry favor with each other. If you bet, it will be of infinite benefits to their future career.

Lin Yanchao did not say well or bad about this. Apart from his true confidant, there was no conflict between the Wang family and the emperor outside, and it was even more impossible for the prime minister to say thank you Zheng and Xie Zheng. Don’t believe the rumors incorrectly, so that unnecessary troubles will occur in the court.

Everyone left after hearing this.

Lin Yanchao met a few more unimportant officials and was about to let someone hang a sign that would not be seen when he heard that Sun Chengzong had arrived.

Lin Yanchao's face was of course not very good when he heard this, but he still saw him in Yu Shun.

"Mr.," Sun Chengzong glanced at Lin Yanchao and said, "The student's carriage was broken halfway, so he came late."

Lin Yanchao smiled and said, "It's okay, I haven't slept anyway."

When Sun Chengzong heard this, his face looked even more ugly. He was not just saying anything, but the truth was.

Sun Chengzong was very honest as an official. How honest was? Even the Tan Jingbingjing, a fellow villager who was an official in the same year, did not accept the Tan Jingbingjing in the same year. This was the gray income range of officials at that time, and everyone would not say anything if they knew it.

But Sun Chengzong was so straightforward as an official. He said he would not accept it, but he offended some people because of this.

So as a Hanlin, he lived a very average life in Beijing. If it weren't for the subsidies in Xinmin Daily, he would have to borrow money from others to live. But even so, his necessary pomp as an official would be difficult to maintain.

For example, the carriage he travels on weekdays is an old car rented from the carriage house, and parts are broken from time to time. This time, because the carriage was broken halfway, he lived very far from Lin's mansion (it was remote because of poverty), so he came all the way and was the last one to arrive.

Sun Chengzong naturally found it difficult to mention the family's dilemma to Lin Yanchao. Now that he is one step late, he is also very guilty as the disciple who has followed Lin Yanchao for the longest time.

Lin Yanchao glanced at Sun Chengzong and said, "I have told you many times that the old carriage needs to be replaced. It lives closer to the imperial city. In this way, the daily effort of going to the yamen can be less on the road."

Upon hearing this, Sun Chengzong lowered his head and said, "Student...student."

Lin Yanchao waved his hand and said, "Don't say anything, I'll ask you to give you two hundred taels of silver, go back and change your carriage, return the house, and rent it closer to the imperial city. Don't refuse me, you can't accept the money from others, but I am your master and give you money. Is there anything you want to ask you?"

When Sun Chengzong heard this, he saw that Lin Yanchao did not blame him, but instead gave him a car and a house. As a result, he said embarrassingly: "Thank you for the student... thank you for your mentor."

"Don't mention the word "Thank you" between you and me. When you and I were together in Guide, I thought you were too stubborn, but I didn't expect that this would be the case after so many years. I didn't want to change you, just do yourself well with your heart. If you have any other things that are not strong enough, I will do for you."

Lin Yanchao lamented that in another time and space history, Sun Chengzong was a Jinshi in the 32nd year of Wanli, and now he was too young for him in the 14th year of Wanli.

In history, Sun Chengzong taught the second generation of officials at the family of the officials until he was in his forties. This young experience was a great experience for him, and now Sun Chengzong is another version.

Sun Chengzong said: "Mr. Master, the student heard that Yuan Fu and the Emperor had a disagreement, and the court might have to re-support the ministers of the court, so he had a few heartfelt words and wanted to tell his teacher."

Lin Yanchao thought to himself that unlike other people's temptations to figure out what he meant, Sun Chengzong was very straightforward.

Lin Yanchao nodded and said, "You said."

"Students think that since the teacher advocates merit, he should put his achievements first. However, since his teacher became the Minister of Rites, he has been concerned about the matter of sea and salt. Even if these two things are accomplished, they will not lie with their mentors. In fact, so far, the teacher has not made any contributions to the people of the world except to open the Imperial College Library in the hands of the Ministry of Rites."

"This is far less important than when my teacher was in Guide. At that time, my teacher managed the river and opened the silt fields, and benefited 300,000 people. The officials along the river all had a reputation for his teacher."

Lin Yanchao thought to himself that Sun Chengzong said really didn't show any mercy to him, but it was in line with his own point of view.

But Lin Yanchao looked dark and said, "You don't need to remind you of these words."

When Sun Chengzong heard this, he realized that he had a loss of speech and hurriedly said, "The student is prone to speak out, so please forgive me."

Seeing that he held Sun Chengzong down, Lin Yanchao said, "You don't have to worry about whether I enter the cabinet or not. I would like to ask you if the court gives you a chance to give a future prince a chance to teach, would you go?"

"Will the prince give lectures in the future?" Sun Chengzong was already shocked when he heard this.

What does the teacher at the Prince’s Qiandi mean to an official? No need to say more.

Yuan Zonggao during the Jiajing period.

Zhang Juzheng during the Longqing year, Gao Gong.

Shen Li of this dynasty.

These officials all started as lecturers in Qiandi and reached a high level. Now Lin Yanchao actually asked Sun Chengzong about this?
