The Ming Dynasty has always insisted on two independent systems: the inner and outer dynasties.

Because of the independent promotion system of Hanlin Academy, Zhanshifu, and the cabinet, it is almost impossible for internal court officials to serve as external court officials for life. As for external court officials, they must never serve as internal court officials.

When Zhang Juzheng was a Hanlin, he was deeply impressed by the obstruction of the civic ministers. Whenever there were salt officials, gate envoys, horse envoys, and commissioned horse envoys to return to the court, Zhang Juzheng brought a pot of wine to the door to ask questions, ask for advice, ask for benefits and disadvantages, and the profits and losses of the reform, and the greed and integrity of the matter. After returning home, Zhang Juzheng took a bonlight and recorded it carefully.

The Hanlin officials even took the outer court officials below the six ministers of the Ministry of Justice.

When Lu Guangzu was appointed as the Minister of Personnel, he was very angry. He said that there were four-class creatures in the capital and did not know how to avoid the sedan chairs he was a dignified young man. First class was a eunuch, first class woman, first class elephant to enter the court, and first class was a Shujishi.

This is true for the inner court officials, so the outer court officials are also not inferior to the lower-level inner court officials.

Therefore, when Lin Yanchao came to Quezuomen, he was not only familiar with the ministers and ministers, such as the temple ministers, the chief officials of the department, and the censors, and the clerk, and the ministers were all indifferent to him.

Many officials are above Lin Yanchao, and they are Zhang Juzheng's confidants, so they will not take the initiative to make friends with Lin Yanchao with airs.

So after Lin Yanchao walked around, he saw that no one was paying attention to him, so he stood aside tactfully.

Officials whispered.

"When can even lecturers participate in court discussions?"

"It's not just the dragon feet that you usually support His Majesty."

"It's okay to find these poems and ministers to pick up sentences. It's better to forget about the national affairs."

"This is not necessarily the case. Lin Sanyuan's learning of merit is to do practical things and achieve everything."

"I have never seen a theory before doing practical things. It is better to talk about it on paper."

"I don't pay attention to it. I would object to whatever he mentioned later. In this way, he has no face to join the court again."

"No, let's see how he can get off the stage later."

While everyone was talking, the Zuodu Censor Chen Yu took the roster and started to name the name.

Facing Chen Hu, the boss of the Censorate, the officials did not dare to speak, otherwise they would be targeted by the censor and would have lost fruit. When Chen Hu called out a name, the officials replied, "The subordinates are there."

"Zuo Zhongyun, Zuo Chunfang of Zhan Shifu, and Lin Yanchao, the attendant of Hanlin Academy!"

Lin Yanchao replied, "The emperor is here."

After Lin Yanchao finished answering, many eyes came to him. Except for the censor and Ke Dao, most of them were all Scarlet officials.

Faced with their gaze, Lin Yanchao smiled a little as if he was a little flattering. He took his bullfighting uniforms to wash yesterday, but today he is inconspicuous.

These outstanding officials glanced at Lin Yanchao, then turned their heads away.

After Chen Yu named him, he said solemnly: "The officials of the Ministry of Temple are listed in the north, and the officials of the Kedao are listed in the south, and the official positions are the sequence classes."

After the officials said that, they immediately took their positions. When the officials were in charge of the ranks, they were arranged in succession, and there was no confusion on the spot, and there was no controversy.

After the officials were arranged, there was only one person under the eaves of the door.

When the officials saw it, they couldn't help but feel funny, and they all looked like they knew it would have known it.

Seeing that all the officials were in their own positions, only one official did not obey his orders and was not included in the list, Chen Xu couldn't help but furiously said, "Who is the one under the sect? Not yet joining the class?"

Chen Yue was so old that he couldn't help but be dizzy. Although Lin Yanchao stood in front of him for only ten meters, he didn't recognize him.

The boss of the Censorate was angry and felt that the consequences were serious, but Lin Yanchao could only stand helplessly and then politely said: "The Chief Constitution, I don't know which rank to be included in the lower-ranking official, the Minister of the Secretary of the Ministry of War."

The officials laughed teasingly, and a few of them were happy to watch Lin Yanchao make a fool of themselves.

Chen Xu suddenly said after hearing this: "It turned out to be Lin Zhongyun of the Zhan Shi Mansion."

Chen Xu paused and asked the officials on the side: "In the past, the court discussed where did the officials from the Hanlin Academy of Zhanshifu come from?"

The officials on the side were also confused and said, "Reporting to the General Xian, no one has participated in the court discussion for a long time. Wherever they stood last time, the villain doesn't remember."

Hearing Chen Yu talked with the officials, the officials below laughed out loud, not at all polite.

The officials seemed to say in laughter that the court discussion was originally a matter of the officials of the outside court, so why are you, an inside court, joining in the fun?

At this time, Pan Sheng said slowly: "Come here, let's see Lin Zhongyun."

The officials present were all confused after this sentence.

"What kind of lord is going to give Lin Sanyuan a seat?" All the officials were unbelievable.

The little official also thought he had heard it wrong, so he asked Pan Sheng again: "Da Zong Bo, where is this one?"

Pan Sheng didn't say anything, and reached out to pat the right armrest of the Taishi Chair.

A minor official said that he immediately moved a chair of the Grand Master and placed it on Pan Sheng's right hand.

In the stunned eyes of the officials, Lin Yanchao lifted the hem of his official robe and walked calmly to the steps in front of the door. He saluted Pan Sheng and Zhang Siwei, who were sitting under the eaves of the door, and then swayed to the Taishi Chair and sat down.

After sitting down, Lin Yanchao pressed the armrest of the Taishi chair with both hands and looked down, but saw that all the officials stood with their hands hanging down.

Everyone's expressions fell into their eyes one by one.

Lin Yanchao couldn't help but think that this angle was just right, no wonder everyone liked to sit in the main seat. It was really good to see everyone like this.

At this moment, tens of thousands of heads rushing by in the hearts of the officials, saying in their hearts that Lin Yanchao could sit with Pan Sheng, the Minister of Rites and Zhang Siwei, the Grand Secretary of the Wuying Palace.

You should know that even big guys like Zuodu Censor Chen Yu can only stand, and you, Lin Yanchao, can actually sit down. What is the reason? Did Pan Sheng take the wrong medicine?

At this time, Pan Sheng said slowly: "According to the oral order of Your Majesty, Lin Zhongyun of the Zhanshi Mansion attended the court's discussion."

The officials then suddenly realized that Lin Yanchao came on behalf of the emperor. There was also this example in the past. The emperor did not participate in the court discussion, but wanted to know the ministers' discussions, so he sent an eunuch to listen.

For example, Emperor Jing of Ming Dynasty asked Yi Chu to discuss and ordered the ministers to discuss and sent eunuch Xing'an to listen. Although the ministers disagreed with Yi Chu, they were afraid that their opposition would be known by the emperor, so they had to disagree with Yi Chu's affairs.

However, this is usually a relatively important court discussion, which is just there.

But this time it was just a common court discussion. Why did Lin Yanchao come?

So the officials thought that Lin Yanchao was favored by the emperor, and thus thought of a possibility that the emperor would investigate and appoint ministers, so they sent their confidant ministers to the court for investigation.

Yes, the Minister of Rites Pan Sheng is the next popular candidate to enter the cabinet. Once Pan Sheng entered the cabinet, the position of the Minister of Rites was empty. Will the emperor use this court discussion to examine the candidates?

Thinking of this, the attitudes of the officials changed immediately.
