At this moment, Lin Yanchao was lying on a bamboo chair, with his hands on his head, and a volume of "Cai Gen Tan" covering his stomach.

In the afternoon, Lin Yanchao lay by the window of the study, looking at the clouds rolling in the sky, his eyes half open and half closed, and sometimes it seemed that he was about to fall asleep, but he heard the sound of the bamboo forest outside the window rustling and woke up again.

The sound of forests in the yard is often heard.

Lin Yanchao halfwayed his eyelids and looked out the window, then closed it with peace of mind.

After Lin Yong went to the county for Chinese test, he was in the government for another Chinese test. The hospital for Chinese tests were all in good order.

During the examination, his article was ranked seventh by Li Yaomin, Shuntian Prefecture's Xuedao.

Li Yaomin was very upright and had a good reputation as an official.

It is said that Li Yaomin read Lin Yong's article at that time and exclaimed: "This is a talent that can be obtained."

Later, after learning that the other party was Lin Yanchao's son, he was afraid that he would give the other party too high and was suspected of being Minister Afu, so he changed to the seventh place.

Li Yaomin was not malicious, but just did what a Qingliu minister should do. After all, Zhang Siwei and Shen Shixing's son were awarded one after another in the impeachment of the imperial examination by Li Sancai and Wei Yunzhen, and the customs in the court had changed.

Lin Yong has always enjoyed such treatment from the county examination to the college examination.

Lin Yanchao was in North Korea at that time. Lin Qianqian was furious when she learned about this and was about to talk to Li Yaomin. But she saw that Lin Yong was like nothing was wrong, and she did whatever she should do, eat and sleep well.

Lin Qianqian asked Lin Yong, and Lin Yong replied that he was not determined by this, so it doesn’t matter whether he was the first or seventh place. He could just be a scholar and fool Lin Yanchao.

It was Lin Qianqian's turn to be so angry that she was depressed and scolded Lin for a severe blow.

After Lin Yanchao returned to Beijing from North Korea, Lin Yong was extremely nervous. He thought Lin Yanchao would blame him. However, after Lin Yanchao knew about it, he told Lin Yong that the disadvantage of worldly scholars lies in knowing the world but not knowing the heart, or whether it is knowing the heart but not knowing the world.

Lin Yong was puzzled after hearing this and asked his father to speak human language.

Lin Yanchao said, knowing that the world is like a mountain when people go, and the importance of the original heart is like a mountain when they come.

"So if people go, the mountain is better? Or if the mountain is better? Or if I come, the mountain is better? Or if I take both sides?"

Lin Yanchao did not answer.

Lin Yong thought about it again and clapped his hands. The former is like Neo-Confucianism, while the latter seems to be integrated into the Zen mind study. When I go from people to mountains, I am just doing my best. After hearing Lin Yong's words, Lin Yanchao stopped talking.

The next day, Lin Yong went to find Xu Guangqi and Zhao Shizhen.

Xu Guangqi and Zhao Shizhen were awarded the title of Wuying Hall for their meritorious efforts in the Lumi Gun. In particular, Xu Guangqi set a precedent for officials without going through the imperial examination.

However, they developed the Lumi gun, which offended the Ministry of War and some people from the Ministry of Works.

Therefore, in addition to being appointed as officials, they could not walk in and out of the Forbidden City like the real Wuying Hall clan. So they found several old corridors in the Jinshui River of Donghuamen that the court did not use, and changed the storefront as a yamen office.

This is how Xu and Zhao gathered more than a dozen craftsmen here for research and development, and they didn't know what to do.

Of course, this government office is not recognized by the court. There is no staffing except Xu and Zhao, and the court's financial subsidies. The funds for maintaining office are also supported by Lin Xue's disciples.

The court and the country knew it was Shi Xing's reason for suppressing Lin Yanchao. After all, Shi Xing was the Minister of War.

So all the civil and military officials in the court used this as a joke, and they had the idea of ​​seeing which day they could last.

But Lin Yong walked there very hard.

Lin Yanchao knew that Lin did not clearly object to this move, so he only told him that the homework he studied every day should not be lowered. If his grades were not ideal in the annual exam and the scientific exam, he would not be allowed to run to Xu and Zhao.

Lin Yong agreed and would work hard to study.

As the breeze blew, Lin Yanchao leaned over and was about to continue dreaming of Zhou Gong, but suddenly heard a report from outside: "Master, there are guests outside!"

Lin Yanchao frowned and said, "Didn't you say that you should thank the guests behind closed doors?"

He said outside: "Master, the person who came is the chief of Donglin Academy!"

"He!" Lin Yanchao thought for a while and sat up and said to himself, "It's Gu Xiancheng's lobbyist who came to the door."

Lin Yanchao said to the outsider: "See!"

After saying that, Lin Yanchao changed his clothes and went to the living room.

Zou Yuanbiao was already sitting there, and as soon as he saw Lin Yanchao, he stood up and said, "The mountain man has met the uncle of the clan!"

"Hey, I'm an unemployed person, so there's no need to be polite. Brother Zou please sit down!"

When the servants served tea to the two of them, they sat on high-backed chairs. Zou Yuanbiao did not speak directly, but seemed to have thought about the words.

Lin Yanchao smiled and said, "Brother Zou is not teaching and educating in Wuxi, why did he come to the capital?"

Zou Yuanbiao said: "Da Zongbo, don't you know that the capital will change?"

"Oh? I wonder what Brother Zou is referring to?"

Zou Yuanbiao smiled and said, "Before the mountain man revealed, I would like to ask the Lord of the Zong. Do you still remember the debate on our letter and the words of the convention of courtesy and law?"

Lin Yanchao nodded and said, "Of course. Is Brother Zou coming to Lin again today to argue?"

Zou Yuanbiao smiled and said, "Who is the opponent of Da Zongbo? Why is Zou so embarrassed to bring shame to himself? In the letter that day, Zou told Da Zongbo that the people were born and the people could not be self-governed. If the king was established, the king could not govern himself alone, and he would be able to help the generals and assist the generals. The prime minister is a person who is a man who is the country and the rule of the country must be in the way of heaven and the court will be convinced by the people."

Lin Yanchao comforted his thumb and said, "This is the most important thing to do."

Zou Yuanbiao said: "At that time, Dazong Bo replied that the prime minister was to assist the king in governing the world with the ritual of wisely rectifying the world. I wonder if this sentence is still recognized today."

Lin Yanchao said: "Of course Lin won't just say anything."

Zou Yuanbiao said seriously: "Da Zong Bo, the wise man will not say secret words. Wang Taicang is about to leave his post. Soon the emperor will issue an order to add to the cabinet ministers. If Da Zong Bo is interested, Zou can help!"

Lin Yanchao smiled and said, "Brother Zou came for Uncle Gu today?"

Zou Yuanbiao shook his head and said, "It's not that. Uncle Gu has never looked for me. Instead, Wang Shanyin and Shen Guide have strongly recommended me!"

Zou Yuanbiao has a wide range of friends.

Lin Yanchao thought for a while and said, "Brother Zou, I told you that I should make the etiquette of the world clear and correct. Where does this etiquette come from? Did it come from the Qing Dynasty?"

Zou Yuanbiao nodded and said, "Of course."

Lin Yanchao shook his head and said, "Will the prime minister also obey the Qing Dynasty's advice and govern?"

What is the implication of Lin Yanchao's words? What is the use of the prime minister like this?

Zou Yuanbiao thought about it for a while and then said, "Yes, the prime minister must weigh the pros and cons, and he also has a deliberate action to follow the power, but the prime minister wants to convince the hundreds of ministers and express their opinions so that the words can be heard from heaven and advise the emperor?"

Lin Yanchao said: "It is not difficult to listen to the heavens. The difficulty lies in advising the emperor. Over the past ten years ago, there was a mentor Shen Wu County, and later Wang Taicang left uneasy and later Xu Xin'an. Wang Shanyin stopped listening to the emperor's wishes. I'm afraid no one knows how to be the prime minister, right?"

Zou Yuanbiao was about to speak, but Lin Yanchao stretched out his hand and said, "Many ministers in the court are Qingliu, who hold the Qing Dynasty's arguments, but if they make a statement, they must refute it. Do all the officials who refute the Qing Dynasty should refer to it as slanderous ministers?"

"Brother Zou is famous all over the world for his strong advice to Zhang Jiangling. Later, he was the chief of Donglin Mountain and was respected by the scholars. But I had to speak out and advise Brother Zou, don't be straightforward, follow the scholars, and end up with the party!"

Zou Yuanbiao was a little worried. After thinking about it, he finally said calmly: "The Lord of the Zong is very good at the religion. But Zou is not arguing with the Lord of the Zongbiao about what Zou is, but he is arguing with the Lord of the Zongbiao about what the world will be in the future?"

"In the current court, everyone has their own intentions, slander, jealousy, and dangers, and all the officials have their own intentions of slandering and comparing the party. This is actually a disease of the country. But if Da Zongbo does not stand up to support the country, he would rather be far away from the world and be a Confucian scholar, so... What should the people do? Zou begs Da Zongbo to put the people first!"

What a big hat to hold it off.

Lin Yanchao said nothing when he heard this.

Zou Yuanbiao stood up and said seriously: "Whether it is a Qing discussion or a superior intention, the master of the country must come up with a suggestion!"

Lin Yanchao took a sip of tea and said, "To be honest, Lin has become an idle person and has no intention of becoming an official. After the incident in North Korea, the Ministry of War will give a conclusion. Lin immediately resigns and returns to his hometown!"

Zou Yuanbiao's face turned red and said excitedly: "When Zhang Jiangling left Beijing, he said that the civil and military officials in the court could be at peace with the world. I was puzzled at that time, but now I understand a little. Perhaps in the eyes of Da Zongbo, no matter whether it is the best intention or the pure opinion, it is better to be a powerful minister!"

Zou Yuanbiao stared at Lin Yanchao, but saw Lin Yanchao scolding: "Brother Zou has nothing to say? Where are you trying to put Lin in such words?"

Zou Yuanbiao bowed and said, "Don't blame Da Zong Bo, it's Zou's fault. But Da Zong Bo insisted on the reform, and Zou also saw that it was wrong. If Da Zong Bo thought that he could implement the new policy without expectations. If he wanted to reform, he had to take over power. No matter how he did, he would not be as good as Wang Anshi back then. Then please forgive Zou for saying something first. If Da Zong Bo really wanted to implement the new policy in the future, then Zou would object like Sima Wengong!"

Zou Yuanbiao spoke harshly and directly accused Lin Yanchao of being a treacherous minister like Wang Anshi.

Lin Yanchao sneered and said, "Brother Zou, do you want to be Wang Lang? Is it a man who wants to pull Lin on the boat, and the man who pushes Lin off the boat?"

Zou Yuanbiao understood that Lin Yanchao was telling a story told by Shiyuxin. Hua Xin and Wang Lang met a thief, so they took a boat to take refuge. At that time, a man on the shore wanted to board the ship and run with them.

Hua Xin refused, and then Wang Lang accused him and said, "The ship is still very wide, why can't you carry one more person? You are not a benevolent or righteous person at all."

Then the thief chased after him, and Wang Lang was so scared that he wanted to push the person he had just taken off the boat.

Hua Xin said: "I refused to board the boat before, because of this. But now since the other party has entrusted his life to you, how can you throw it away?"

Lin Yanchao used this example to tell Zou Yuanbiao that you recommended me as prime minister and always took me on the boat with a benevolent and righteous Duke. When everyone had a conflict of interest, they would rush me off the boat. What is the difference between your actions and Wang Lang? You have never seen such a shameless person!

After all, Zou Yuanbiao was not Wang Lang. After being scolded by Lin Yanchao, he thought for a while and said, "Big Master, Zou did not mean this. Zou is here to recommend the official to the cabinet."

Lin Yanchao nodded and said, "Brother Zou's heart, Lin knows that Lin's words are also rude, please sit down!"

Zou Yuanbiao sat down as he said, and the tension had eased a little bit.

This time it seemed that the two of them had a long chat like old friends who had been together for many years.

Zou Yuanbiao said: "Zou still has a few heartfelt words to tell Da Zongbo."

"Brother Zou, please tell me."

"Although the court has not concluded its merits for pacifying Korea, the Shilin has long been proclaimed by Dazong Bo. At present, Dazong Bo can be said to be disappointing the expectations of the world. However, if such great achievements are not rewarded, Zou and the people of the government can also see the attitude of the lord and the ruling ruling towards Dazong Bo. Why is Zou also unfair to Dazong Bo in his heart, so he wants to help him!"

Lin Yanchao sighed, "Brother Zou, how can I not understand your intention? I have repeatedly refused, and the public thought that I have no kindness and righteousness. Just as Hua Xin said just now, I would not allow anyone to board the boat. Why don't I do something for the people of the world?"

"I refuse because it is not with me at the time. There are probably many officials in the court who oppose my claims like Brother Zou. Since I know that entering the cabinet will be opposed, why should I be just a reputation for benevolence and righteousness, and ask for a few requests and come out to be the prime minister?"

"What do others think about the appearance? But what is the difference between my glory today? It is better to preach and teach, so that people all over the world can understand my proposition. When officials like Gong can support me, what are I not willing to do? You must know that it is difficult to change customs and customs! And it is even more difficult to implement a new coupon!"

When Zou Yuanbiao heard Lin Yanchao's words, he almost burst into tears. He stood up again and bowed, "The heart of the Lord of the Lord can express the sun and the moon. If you can get these heartfelt words from Dazong, Zou is really lucky in his three lives!"
