Chapter Four Hundred and Thirty Articles

Several officials who didn't know Lin Yanchao asked privately.

"This is the first top scholar to win three consecutive years since the imperial examinations of the Ming Dynasty!"

"It was him."

"Yes, even if you don't know him, you should understand that Qilin suit. This is a gift from the emperor and the holy family is in full swing."

"When I heard about the leak of the cabinet, three people in my six departments were investigated, and two people in the cabinet were investigated. Only the other party escaped unscrupulously under the interrogation of the Jinyiwei, and should not be underestimated!"

"It's not just that. In the past, Hanlin seconded the imperial edict and imperial edicts, but the cabinet allowed these Hanlins to expand their knowledge in advance and practice their skills. After a few months, no one pointed to these Hanlins and replaced the old Zhongshu who had been in the cabinet for more than ten or twenty years. But this Lin Xiu not only gained a foothold in the cabinet, but was also ordered to assist in the imperial edict and imperial edicts. Why do you think this is the case?"

"The prime minister is accustomed to being aware of people. If this person is valued, he must have extraordinary talents."

"I think the same is true. Those who are not skilled and talented cannot be in this position!"

The officials nodded together.

While others were talking, Lin Yanchao sat quietly on the east corner table, took a stack of official paper and placed it in the upper left corner of the table, then took one and spread it in front of it, pressed it with paperweight. Then Lin Yanchao took water and grinded the inkstone. After grinding it, he covered the inkstone with inkstone. The inner wall of the inkstone was coated with several layers of paint to prevent the ink from being steamed.

The inkstone box can store ink for a while. When you want to write, you can use it at any time without having to grind the ink again. It can be said to be a magical tool for yamen clerks and must be found in the cabinet office.

Lin Yanchao waited for a while, and Dong Zhongshu opened the door and walked into the reception room. He sat on the table in the west corner.

It seems that Lin Yanchao and Dong Zhongshu will be responsible for the meeting minutes today.

Speaking of meeting minutes, we have to talk about political discussions and court meetings.

The court meeting was present by the emperor, and all the emperor's voice and important speeches by the ministers were recorded by the Hanlin lecturer who was a daily official.

As for political discussion, it was a meeting where the emperor was not present, and the ancients called this a collective discussion. It is unknown who wrote the meeting minutes of the ancient discussion, but there is an article that has been known throughout the ages, which is the theory of salt and iron written by Huan Kuan of the Western Han Dynasty. The theory of salt and iron was written by Huan Kuan based on the discussion of salt and iron.

The debate on salt and iron is a major debate on national policy, mainly focusing on the debate on public or private salt and iron. If it were not for the theory of salt and iron, the author Huan Kuan would be an unknown person, but this book is only 10% famous in history. Therefore, if the secretary of the industry wants to become a founder of the industry, Huan Kuan should be the first to refer to Huan Kuan.

After a while, the door of Huiyi opened Zhang Juzheng, Zhang Siwei and Shen Shixing three masters entered.

After the three of them entered, the internal servants outside the door closed the door, and the cabinet met with the six departments, and the idle people were not allowed to approach, otherwise they would have to do it again.

Several cabinet masters sat down and started discussing matters. Lin Yanchao opened the inkstone box and took the pen and dipped it ink.

But the Ministry of Justice said: "Qi reported to Yuanfu, the royal family of the Shanxi Daiwangfu, the lieutenant of the Zhenguo, Junqi, the general of Fengguo, and several royal families, obstructed the Qing dynasty, and beat the officials from the magistrate of the magistrate, causing three deaths and many injured. The censor of the North Hebei Road issued a document to impeach him, but was pressed by the Censorate."

Before the Ministry of Justice had finished speaking, Lin Yanchao began to record the matter of clearing the land and pushing it from the capital to the local area. Before the Wuqing Bo Li Wei could handle it, the local area started to be in trouble. You should know that the honorary relatives in the capital were fine, but as for the local vassals, they were the thunder in the officialdom and could not be easily provoked.

Zhang Juzheng asked calmly: "What do you think?"

A clerk stood up and said, "Yuanfu, the clan vassals guard the royal family, which is a national barrier and should not be moved lightly. The following officials' opinions that the clan's crimes were all the family affairs of the emperor. The Censor of the Chief Justice pressed this matter and did not want to intervene, which caused the court and the country to see the audio-visual."

"In your opinion?"

The clerk said: "The family affairs of the emperor have always been taken care of by the clan mansion. Since the royal family in the Dai royal palace is guilty, you can ask the clan mansion to investigate and interrogate it."

The Ministry of Justice said: "The clan mansion has always been lenient in handling the situation, and even protects the situation. If it is handed over to the clan mansion, it will definitely be instigated."

Several of the staff members were about to speak again.

Zhang Juzheng waved his hand and said, "I have repeatedly declared the orders in the Qingzhang Regulations, and issued an order for all places to pay tribute to the custody of the throne, and all the fields are equal to the grain, but there are any violations and obstructions, regardless of the royal family, officials, military and civilians, and the law is reported to the heavy responsibility. Jungu knowingly violated the affairs of Zhangzhang dynasty, and I will ask the emperor to depose it as a commoner, and all the royal family members who participated in the robbery of the throne!"

Zhang Juzheng took the board and everyone said it was.

A minister of the courtier stood up and said, "Yuan Fu, the order of Qingzhangtian to Suzhou, Suzhou, and more than 500 gentry, cried and cried in front of the Xiansheng tablets in the Confucian Temple, complaining about the matter of Qingzhang. In addition, Suzhou rice shops and merchants were suspended, and the people had no rice to buy. The Suzhou prefect was forced by the gentry and asked the court to temporarily afford the Qingzhangtian period."

Lin Yanchao was listening and writing, thinking that Zhang Juzheng did this, which caused great dissatisfaction among the royal family, and also angered the other two largest groups of officials, gentry and students who hid in Tianmu.

Suzhou has a prosperous literary style and rich cultural heritage. There are many scholars who seek imperial examinations in the court, so the trend of association among literati in Suzhou is prevalent and they like to fight against the government. If the government does something wrong, scholars will join forces with the Confucian Temple and cry.

When all the officials heard that Suzhou had such great pressure to oppose Qingzhangtianmu, they felt it was difficult to deal with, and the three cabinet masters, Shen Shixing, were from Wuxian, Suzhou.

At this time, Shen Shixing stood up and expressed his opinion: "The proposal of the Qingzhang is actually favored by the common people, but it is very unconvenient for the wealthy family. You cannot oppose the wealthy family, and you will be forced to stop. I am willing to set an example and let the family disclose that the family has land to show justice and let the villagers think that they follow the example."

Shen Shixing said this, and Zhang Juzheng praised it: "The rich people have land but not taxes, the poor people lose money, and the poor people fled, so the national tax is less than one day, and in the long run, the country will be destroyed."

Speaking of this, Zhang Juzheng picked up a letter and said, "This is a letter from my family. My Zhang family originally had land and soil of only more than 70 stones, but in the county's tax book, it says, "Zhang You of the Cabinet is exempted from more than 640 stones." The extra tribe members rely on their name to send it to me, and I have ordered my family to return the extra 570 stones."

Zhang Juzheng and Shen Shixing all set an example. It seems that they want to carry out the matter of clearing the land of Zhangzhang to the end. So the officials made suggestions and debated each other when they had different opinions.

Lin Yanchao wrote one by one, and he remembered that Zhang Juzheng tried to clear the land in Fujian in the sixth year of Wanli. After the one-whip method was implemented in various ways in the eighth year of Wanli. This national policy has a huge impact and will be read in today's junior high school history books.

Although Lin Yanchao had no influence at this moment and could only be a witness to him, he really benefited a lot from participating in this matter.

Lin Yanchao looked at the manuscripts he wrote more and more, thinking that he might be able to write an article like "Salt and Iron Theory" that has lasted forever through the ages based on what he saw and heard today. (To be continued.)
