There were more than 20,000 officials in the Ming Dynasty and more than 1,300 officials in the capital. For the emperor, it was difficult to remember the names of officials.

Generally speaking, only the six ministers and second-rank officials or above will take the initiative to remember your name. As for others, it depends on their own fortune if they can be remembered by the emperor. There is an example of Hai Rui's death in admonition to Emperor Jiajing, so many Ming Dynasty officials advised the emperor in order to gain fame and status, saying that the emperor is not good. This way, it can be remembered by the emperor, but what they leave is a bad impression. The emperor regards such ministers as selling fame.

It is his ability to be remembered by the emperor without any means of exercising power.

Wang Guoguang, the Minister of Personnel, and Zeng Shengwu and others were all thinking a little about it. As for Lin Yanchao's whereabouts, Chen Siyu of the Hanlin Academy should answer it.

However, at present, Lin Yanchao needs to answer the matter in the cabinet.

Zhang Juzheng remained silent. It was his...what to investigate the leaks in the cabinet this time, but he did not ask about how to interrogate them.

The common affairs in the cabinet are generally managed by Zhang Siwei.

Zhang Juzheng sided, and looked at the servant Zhang Siwei from the outskirts.

Zhang Siwei was also very difficult to answer at this moment. Lin Yanchao was the emperor's personal official, which represented the emperor's appreciation for him. If he said that Lin Yanchao was involved in the cabinet leak, he was taken down by the Jinyiwei and detained and interrogated.

Isn’t this slapping the emperor in the face in front of so many people?

Zhang Siwei would never make this mistake, so he went out and said, "Report to Your Majesty, Lin Xiu has common affairs. Will Your Majesty ask him to meet the saint in Wenhua Palace?"

Of course, Zhang Siwei could not say that Lin Xiu had any ordinary affairs and could not come, because the matter of the sutra was to enlighten the king and talk to the emperor.

The affairs of the ministers cannot be more important than the emperor's affairs. Even if Lin Yanchao has common affairs, what kind of common affairs can be more important than the imperial lecture?

Zhang Siwei forced himself to prevent Lin Yanchao from attending the imperial lecture in front of the emperor, which made it impossible.

The little emperor nodded after hearing this. After Zhang Siwei said this, he would not force himself. Could it be that he would ask Lin Yanchao what he could not come? But at this moment, the Wuqing Bo Li Wei stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I heard that Lin Xiu is the top scholar today and a master of classics. If he had fewer lectures in the imperial examination, he would probably lose his beauty."

Wu Qing Bo Li Wei said this, obviously to demolish Zhang Juzheng's platform. He was in the palace and Lin Yanchao had not been to work in the cabinet for two days. You will know after a little inquiry.

Li Wei did this to expose the leaks from the cabinet to the imperial court.

The cabinet is under the management of Zhang Juzheng. If the cabinet leaks, it will undoubtedly hit Zhang Juzheng's prestige, and all the ministers in the court will feel that he is incompetent in control. The little emperor does not understand the situation. One is the chief minister he trusts the most, and the other is his grandfather. But the little emperor also keenly sensed the tense atmosphere between the two.

How should he deal with himself?

The little emperor smiled and said, "Uncle Wu Qing is really impatient than me!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the court officials laughed in agreement, and the tension between Zhang Juzheng and Li Wei eased a lot. The ministers who knew the details all admired the little emperor's wit. If they wanted to flatter, they would look more and more like the late emperor.

Wu Qing Bo Li Wei smiled and said with apologies: "Your Majesty, I am reckless."

The little prince naturally helped Zhang Juzheng speak, intending to expose the matter in one sentence.

But Zhang Juzheng did not appreciate it, but saw him coming out and said, "Your Majesty, Wu Qing Bo is not impatient. I feel that this writer Lin said that he is in charge of ordinary people and cannot go to the imperial court in person, and that he is guilty of despising the imperial court. Your Majesty, I asked writer Lin to go to Wenhua Palace, but I want to ask him why he could not come."

When Zhang Juzheng said this, Li Wei's face suddenly froze. He wanted to expose the leaks in the cabinet. Not only did Zhang Juzheng not suppress him, he also dared to let Lin Yanchao come to Wenhua Palace. Don't you take me seriously, or do you care about reputation at all?

Zhang Juzheng said this, and the little emperor didn't know what to do at this time. At this time, he heard Feng Bao coughing gently beside him.

The little emperor smiled and said, "Okay, since Mr. Zhang asked this, I want to see what happened to Lin Xiu to miss the lecture? Sun Long, just go and ask Lin Xiu to come!"

After coming out of Wenhua Palace, Sun Long said he was very panicked at this moment.

Sun Long is the emperor's confidant eunuch. At this moment, the emperor sent out of Wenhua Palace to find Lin Yanchao. Where did he find him?

He is a popular person among eunuchs, which means he has a good reputation. He is also a top figure in Silijian.

The most awesome person in the Sili Prison is the eunuch in charge of seals and the power to criticize the redemption. The second is the eunuch in Bingbi, who is in charge of the East Factory. This is the factory that made civil officials and ministers frightened.

Now Feng Bao is the eunuch in charge of seals and is also admiring the East Factory. However, Sun Long has a good relationship with Feng Bao, and the East Factory can speak well, so he sent someone to the East Factory first and asked the man to find the whereabouts of Lin Yanchao. Sun Long was shocked to hear Lin Yanchao's current situation.

At that moment, Sun Long rushed straight to Xique Gate.

But when Sun Long arrived, the Jinyiwei stationed at the garrison was about to stop him, but when he saw his bullfighting uniform, he was shocked and hurriedly bowed to see him.

Sun Long asked, "Who is in charge of you here?"

The guardian Jinyiwei replied: "It's Lord He, Qianhu."

"I'll inform you about it quickly! I'll be so angry for you." Sun Long said with a sharp voice.

Guan He and Ma Gong are currently under trial of the case. After receiving the news from the Jinyiwei, the two went out immediately.

When they saw Sun Long, He Guan and Ma Gong, the reactions were different.

Ma Gong saw Sun Long. When he was a Fengji official when he was in court, he had seen the other party and knew that this person was a favored eunuch by the emperor. However, as a dignified censor and a civil servant with integrity, how could he salute such a eunuch? If this was spread, it would not be looked down upon by the Qingliu officials in the court.

So Ma Gong opened his body sideways and didn't say hello.

When He Guan saw Sun Long, he was like a mouse and saw a cat and said first: "Mu En, the villain's disciple, He Guan, pays homage to Eunuch Sun, Eunuch Sun, you will be blessed."

After saying that, He Guan pushed the golden mountain and turned the jade pillar, and knocked three heads in a row, then whispered his body.

Ma Gong also understood that He Guan was so afraid of a eunuch.

This is also the system in the court today. Since Lu Bing's death, the Jinyiwei has been saying that Wang Xiaoer's New Year is getting worse every year.

This year is worse than that of one year. It does not mean that since the beginning of the country, the Jinyiwei has no effect on civil servants.

But the head of the Jinyiwei has changed, so the glorious days are gone.

Since Lu Bing, the Jinyiwei has been directly affiliated with the Dongchang, which is equivalent to the current leader of the Jinyiwei. This is the jurisdiction of this group of eunuchs. Now even the dignified Jinyiwei commander will kneel down and kowtow when he sees the eunuchs of the East Factory.

Not to mention the Qianhu, the deputy of the Jinyiwei, like Guan He. At this moment, he saw a real-powerful figure in the ritual prison like Sun Long, and suddenly came to inspect. He felt that he had committed something and was afraid of it. (To be continued.)
