This day a rain swept across the entire Forbidden City.n∈n∈,

Lin Yanchao sat in the straight room, looked up at the sudden heavy rain outside the door, so he got up and closed half of the door so that the rain would not hit the rain and wet the table like a hill.

The official documents sent to the cabinet by each yamen were delivered in the morning. Lin Yanchao was busy all morning and was a little free in the afternoon.

Lin Yanchao has been busy for the past five or six days. He often works in the cabinet for one day, which is far beyond the ten hours of working hours for officials. If he continues like this, he will really have to have a lumbar disc herniation. This is exactly the same as his leisure time when he drinks tea for one day in his previous life, reads a newspaper for one day, and waits for a corpse and a meal.

However, despite being busy, Lin Yanchao felt fulfilling and meaningful. First, he liked such a life, and second, this was his first time to come into contact with the center and understand the operation of the entire empire.

If you are now implementing the one-whip method and clearing the land of the world, Lin Yanchao will obtain first-hand information through official documents.

In addition, in the lawsuit between the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Personnel regarding the ownership of the Linqing Chaoguan, Lin Yanchao also learned clues from the official documents of the Ministry of Revenue and the chats between colleagues, and learned that the court's determination to collect taxes to the central government was unshakable.

So he quietly revealed to Chen Zhiwen that the Ministry of Revenue would win the battle. After Chen Zhiwen learned about it, he immediately changed his original plan to be a Tongzhi of Linqing, and then pursued his position, and obeyed his promise to give Lin Yanchao a thousand taels of silver.

This money was earned by Lin Yanchao.

Now that Lin Yanchao has finished his errands, he calculated when he went to the yamen after the case. A cabinet official came to Lin Yanchao's duty room and said, "My composer Lin, please go to the duty room."

Lin Yanchao heard the other party’s tone and asked in a strange tone: “Is there anything important to me?”

"You will know after you go." The clerk had a smile on his face, but his tone was faint.

After hearing the other party's official words, Lin Yanchao couldn't help but feel a stern, so he put the pen on the desk and said, "Then I'll go now."

After saying that, Lin Yanchao put the official documents on the table, then locked the door of the duty room, held the umbrella and walked to Wenyuan Pavilion, and asked Lin Yanchao's cabinet official to follow Lin Yanchao from beginning to end.

Lin Yanchao entered Wenyuan Pavilion and put down his umbrella, walked through the corridor to the innermost room, which was Zhang Siwei's duty room.

An official in the duty room opened a trick for Lin Yanchao: "Comrade Lin, the second assistant is inside!"

After saying that, the other party came to the inner room and opened the door for Lin Yanchao.

Lin Yanchao entered Zhang Siwei's office, but saw the other party writing big words on the project, and took off his official hat and put it aside. Zhang Siwei's office was not as hot as Zhang Juzheng, and Shen Shixing's office was filled with an ice bucket to cool off the heat.

I heard that Zhang Siwei is more afraid of cold than heat, and would rather not use an ice bucket to reduce heat. Lin Yanchao sounds a bit similar to modern times. In summer, people who are thirty-eight degrees outside and are unwilling to turn on the air conditioner indoors.

However, Zhang Siwei did not look afraid of heat at all. He was a little thin, but he was in good spirits.

"Sir, Master Lin Xiu has arrived."

Zhang Siwei looked up and said, "Comrade Lin Xiu sat down first, wait for me to finish writing."

Lin Yanchao was sitting at Zhang Siwei's lower head. As for the officials who led the way in, they poured tea for Lin Yanchao and Zhang Siwei before leaving.

Lin Yanchao waited quietly, and based on his experience, he seemed to smell a little bit of bad intentions from the person who came.

In the cabinet of the Three Yang period, several cabinet ministers agreed to submit the memorials to the emperor. There was no distinction between the prime minister and the second.

Since the Jiajing Dynasty, the chief minister has become a great power, and the emperor has imposed political power on the chief minister, from Yan Song to Xu Jie to Zhang Juzheng, the chief minister has become increasingly powerful, not only over the ministers, but also the position of the second assistant and the third assistant and other cabinet ministers, like the chief minister and the subordinates, did not dare to get along with colleagues.

For example, the chief ministers are all in their own hands, and they will decide on their own without discussing with others.

Especially Gao Gongquan was not only in his hands, but also very arrogant. Zhang Juzheng, who was the second assistant at that time, gave a secret visit to the emperor. Gao Gong knew that he was furious and scolded Zhang Juzheng, "I am Gao Gong, and I will decide everything with everyone. How dare you, Zhang Juzheng, whisper to the emperor behind my back?"

So Zhang Siwei's position is very embarrassing. Although he is nominally the second-ranked civil servant, it is not his turn to speak in the court affairs.

When Gao Gong was in charge of the administration, Zhang Juzheng was in charge of the Ministry of Revenue. However, when Zhang Juzheng was in charge of the administration, the six affairs had nothing to do with Zhang Siwei, and they just asked him to take charge of the cabinet. To put it bluntly, the power in Zhang Siwei's hands was equal to the secretary-general of the cabinet at best.

However, despite this, Zhang Siwei's power is far from the point of view of Lin Yanchao.

Soon Zhang Siwei finished writing a large pair of characters and asked, "Zonghai, what do you think of these words in me?"

Lin Yanchao stood up and approached Zhang Siwei's case, but saw the ten words "White Horses Entering Reed Flowers, **** in the Silver Bowl" written by Zhang Siwei.

This is a famous Zen Buddhist saying. Lin Yanchao said immediately: "The calligraphy of the lower officials is not only rough, but it can also be seen that the pen power of the middle hall is truly at its peak."

After hearing this, Zhang Siwei put down his pen, walked to the sandalwood chair beside Lin Yanchao, and then patted Lin Yanchao's chair.

Lin Yanchao sat down knowingly, but he was next to the chair and didn't dare to confirm it.

Zhang Siwei said slowly: "I originally decided to set up Zhang Maoxiu in the Hanlin Lunzhi Cabinet, but after seeing your Pingyi Decree, our cabinet department thought you were a talent, so he pushed you to Dongfang Lunzhi."

Lin Yanchao thought to himself, "I'm wrong, it's obviously his plagiarism and the emperor and Zhang Juzheng appreciated it, so he entered the cabinet. But Lin Yanchao thought about it again and said that Zhang Siwei was right. Zhang Siwei is now acting for Zhang Juzheng's affairs in the cabinet. If he can enter Wenyuan Pavilion, he must be Zhang Siwei's last nod.

Although he just followed the will of the emperor and Zhang Juzheng, he followed the situation.

Lin Yanchao still wanted to show his gratitude on his face and said, "The great kindness of the central government is remembered in his heart."

Zhang Siwei asked: "The day before yesterday, I agreed to clear the official documents of Zhang Tianmu, right?"

Lin Yanchao passed Zhang Siwei's words in his mind and said immediately: "It's the master of the official."

"You remember correctly?"

"Remember it clearly."

Zhang Siwei nodded and said, "It's good that you are willing to admit it. Zong Hai, you first entered the cabinet, and you will inevitably have insufficient knowledge and will inevitably make mistakes. This is also a natural thing for human beings."

Lin Yanchao immediately asked, "Zhongtang, the official does not understand what you are saying, please tell me directly."

Zhang Siwei stared at Lin Yanchao's eyes and asked, "Zong Hai, do you really don't know, or are you fake?"

After hearing this sentence, Lin Yanchao suddenly felt something was wrong.

At this moment, in the room, I suddenly heard a thunder suddenly exploded, and heavy rain outside the window was pouring. (To be continued.)
