Wang Xijue was also full of thoughts when he saw Lin Feng’s letter.

Wang Xijue and Lin Feng had several encounters, but they were all in a hurry, but the other party's mellow and gentlemanly style had already impressed him.

But what impressed him most was that in the fifth year of Longqing, he was demoted to the Hanlin Academy in Nanjing when he was exiled to the Hanlin Academy in Nanjing.

At that time, Lin Feng was the local prefect. Taiping Prefecture originally stipulated that more than 1,000 gold coins could be paid from Wuhu Pass every year as the "county magistrate fee", but Lin Feng did not collect it and canceled this old case. The local people all have a reputation for this matter.

Wang Xijue, who was also an honest official, came to the local area to hear about this and admired it very much. So when he passed by Taiping Prefecture, he wrote to Lin Feng, and Lin Feng also replied with a letter. Neither of them blamed each other for not meeting each other, and they meant that a gentleman's friendship was as calm as water.

Now Wang Xijue saw Lin Yan's words sincerely in the letter, and just heard that Lin Yanchao had burned the imperial edict and sent it to the capital from Zhejiang.

Those who carry firewood for everyone should not let them be strangled by the wind and snow.

Those who open the way for the world should not let them be trapped in thorns.

These two sentences in Lin Feng's letter impressed Wang Xijue and read them repeatedly. Many years later, he learned that this sentence was heard by Lin Feng from Lin Yanchao.

But reading Lin Feng's words made Wang Xijue feel uncomfortable.

He Lin Yanchao is responsible for the people to take the salary and open the way, so what has he become Wang Xijue?

Isn’t that just wind, snow and thorns?

From the perspective of the world, Wang Xijue understood that if he could not make any achievements in the matter of the three kings being conferred together, he would definitely be the target of public criticism.

While Wang Xijue was thinking carefully, he could hear a letter from Shi Xing, the Minister of the Ministry of Humanitarian War.

When Wang Xijue heard that Shi Xing had a letter, he was the first reaction. He was not the one who pleaded with Lin Yanchao.

But then he thought about it and found that Wang Xijue knew that the relationship between Shi Xing and Lin Yanchao was bad, so everyone knew that he must have written for North Korea.

Then Wang Xijue opened Shi Xing's letter and immediately realized that he had thought it was wrong again.

However, after Wang Xijue asked for illness to rest, the government was under the charge of Zhao Zhigao, and some officials recommended Zou Yuanbiao as the Minister of Dali Temple in Nanjing. As soon as the memorial was submitted, the emperor angrily scolded him, saying that Zou Yuanbiao was frivolous and frivolous, and demoted the recommended officials to one level.

As for Zhao Zhigao, it was also scolded by the emperor because of this, but the votes agreed by the cabinet were clearly decided by the three cabinet ministers, but why did they only scold him? Zhao Zhigao was a little surprised and suspicious, so he also submitted a memorial to the illness and stay at home.

Finally, it was Sanfu Lu Guangzu's turn to preside over Wenyuan Pavilion.

This series of events was extremely smooth for Lu Guangzu. Wang Xijue asked for rest, Zhao Zhigao complained about his illness, and finally his wife became his mother-in-law and his turn to take charge of the cabinet affairs.

For Lu Guangzu, things in recent months were incredibly smooth.

Wang Xijue and Lin Yanchao attacked each other, but one offended all officials and the other offended the emperor. Both of them were in danger. He first obtained the right to secretly expose the memorial, and now he is in charge of the cabinet affairs on behalf of Zhao Zhigao. Now he and Zhang Wei are the two in the cabinet.

Zhang's qualifications and official positions are far inferior to him. Now he is the only one in the cabinet. Things went smoothly and unexpectedly made him feel a little uneasy.

At this time, Lu Guangzu's housekeeper rushed to Lu Guangzu and said, "Master, I just heard the news that Wang Xijue has left the mansion."

Lu Guangzu frowned: "Aren't he ill? Where can he go after leaving the mansion at this time?"

The housekeeper lowered his head and said, "The master is unbelievable. Wang Xijue went to Lin Yanchao's mansion in person."

"What?"

Lu Guangzu immediately felt unusual: "What's going on? The prime minister of the dynasty actually condescended to visit the Minister of Rites. What's the point?"

"I really don't know, but these two people should be as powerful as water and fire now. Wang Taicang would break this example and go to Lin Yanchao's mansion in person. No one knows what medicine he sells in the gourd."

Everything goes well now in Lu Guangzu's relationship lies in the disagreement between Wang Xijue and Lin Yanchao, but the consequences of the two reconciliation will be unimaginable.

"Send someone to visit immediately!"

At this moment, Wang Xijue's sedan chair was slowly stopped in Lin Mansion.

Wang Xijue never thought that as the prime minister of the dynasty, he would have to visit other officials' houses one day.

"Prince, Lin's Mansion has arrived."

When Wang Xijue heard this, he pulled open the curtain and took a look, then moved out of the sedan chair.

Wang Xijue came to Lin Yanchao's mansion, wearing a Confucian scarf and a Zen robe, and dressed as a layman, and no one could tell the other's identity.

"Did you know?"

Wang Wu replied: "I have already informed me. The Lin family still has some rules. An ordinary family knows how to advance and retreat. I am not panicked when I hear the prime minister."

Wang Xijue nodded, and soon the gate of Lin's mansion opened wide, but he saw Lin Yanchao wearing official uniform and he was already facing him.

"I didn't know that Yuan Fu personally came to the humble house and the subordinate officials were missing and welcomed him. I also asked Yuan Fu to forgive him."

Wang Xijue looked at Lin Yanchao and smiled and said, "I just come to the mansion to see you. Don't think I am an uninvited guest. Why are you wearing an official robe? Have you expected that I will come to the house?"

Lin Yanchao laughed and said, "How can you make such a brilliant plan? Yuan Fu, please come here!"

Lin Yanchao thought to himself that he was waiting for a pheasant, but unexpectedly a crane came.

After entering the mansion, Wang Xijue looked around and asked, "There is such a good place to live in Da Zong. Chufan thought the storefront was smaller, but when he walked in, he had a different view."

Lin Yanchao immediately said, "The gardens in Suzhou are the best in the world, so how dare the officials show off their skills in front of Yuan Fu? This house was purchased by the lower officials when they were a bachelor's degree. It was built by the Ministry of Works' Management and Construction Department, so it was a little cost-effective in terms of work materials and wood."

When Wang Xijue heard this, he stopped slightly and said, "I remember that the Ministry of Works' Management and Repair Department was already in charge of Xu Taishi!"

Lin Yanchao lowered his head and said, "Yes, it is the head of Doctor Xu."

After Wang Xijue put his hands on his back, he moved forward slowly: "Xu Taishi was dismissed from office because of the construction of the birthday palace. Some people say that he had been greedy for a million taels."

Lin Yanchao said: "This is absolutely impossible. How could a fifth-rank official in the Ministry of Works beg for so much ink?"

Wang Xijue looked at Lin Yanchao after hearing this: "Maybe someone Xiang Zhuang dances his sword intent in Pei Gong."

Lin Yanchao's heart was shaking. As we all know, Xu Taishi was dismissed from office, which involved Qingliu's counterattack against Shen Shixing. If it was confirmed that it was a million taels of silver, then Xu Taishi would not be able to be greedy for so much. Who is the person behind this?

The emperor used 7 million taels of silver to build the Shou Palace. This money was worth two years of Taicang and could fight three Ningxia battles. Now the treasury is empty, and North Korea is fighting again.

What is the purpose of Wang Xijue's statement at this time?

"The pavilion here has a great view! You and I will sit here!"

After hearing Wang Xijue's words, Lin Yanchao certainly agreed. This pavilion is outside the bamboo forest, next to the pool. There are more than a dozen koi carp chasing and playing among the green stems of lotus leaves.

The breeze blew, and the bamboo forest rustled. Wang Xijue sat in the pavilion, closed his eyes and heard the rustling sound of the bamboo forest rustling, and then said leisurely: "When you retreat, you were dressed in a crane cloak, wearing a Huayang scarf, holding a volume of "The Book of Changes" in your hand, burning incense and sitting silently to spend the rest of your thoughts."

Lin Yanchao knew that Wang Xijue was written by Wang Yu in the Song Dynasty.

Lin Yanchao and Wang Xijue opened his eyes and smiled and said, "Yuan Fu also likes Wang Yu's articles."

Wang Xijue comforted his beard and said, "I remember Zonghai that you can sit here after you leave the court every day. I can't help but remember Wang Yu's article. There is no need to say much about Wang Yu's article preaching and enlightening his heart. I admire him even more as a straight minister. He speaks bluntly and dares to advise, and acts with straightforwardness, but he has been demoted three times because of this. He has a saying in "Three Demotions" that he will not surrender to his own way, and he will not surrender to his own way. I will be honest and respectful to his righteousness and will do it forever. I appreciate it when I was young!"

At this time, the servants of Lin’s mansion had already brought fruit tea to the pavilion. Lin Yanchao smiled and said, “Why did Yuan Fu admire him when he was young? Do you not appreciate him now?”

Wang Xijue glanced at Lin Yanchao and stroked his beard and said, "It's not that I don't appreciate it, but I see it a little different from when I was young. For example, Zong Hai, if I was a little minister, I would rather give up the official and lose my life than to make a memorial to you, but now I am the prime minister but I can't do this. Do you understand when I change my position?"

If someone else said this, Lin Yanchao would say a few words in his heart, but Wang Xijue was hard to say.

Lin Yanchao nodded and said, "Yuan Fu is because of the emperor's grace!"

Wang Xijue nodded happily and said, "I can only say this to Zonghai, but the ministers don't understand."

Lin Yanchao hurriedly said, "How dare you?"

Wang Xijue waved his hand, then picked up the tea and took a sip and said, "I have been asking for leave these days and submitted a memorial to fight for the foundation of the country. Although I was at home, many people also wrote letters to me. Duke Shen came to advise me not to care about the matter of burning the imperial edict this time."

Lin Yanchao's eyes sterned when he heard this and said, "Teacher?"

Wang Xijue waved his hand and said, "Mr. Shen told me that he asked you to resign because I could come forward to try to keep me!"

Lin Yanchao thought about it and immediately understood Shen Shixing's intention. But then he thought, Wang Xijue could not have had to say these words, but he pointed out that he was so proud and arrogant.

Wang Xijue said: "Zonghai, are you really planning to resign from office?"

Lin Yanchao heard this and said, "It is true that as long as the eldest son of the emperor can leave the cabinet and study, Lu Pinghu will step down and resign!

Wang Xijue blew the tea leaves on the tea bowl and said casually: "To be honest, if you really want to resign, I don't mean to keep it, but... Sima Shida wrote to me and said that you must be the one who is doing the maritime transportation and government affairs, so I thought about it and planned to make a compromise idea. Are you willing to listen?"

Lin Yanchao said: "The emperor will listen carefully when Yuan Fu's words."

Wang Xijue nodded and said, "I still plan to ask you to prepare for the Japanese strategy for Song Yingchang?"

Lin Yanchao was silent when he heard this.
