Zhang Siwei said the new prime minister's comments, and Lin Yanchao listened silently.

After the speech of the testimonials, it is the guise of moving the seat.

There is a red cabinet in the middle of the General Office of Wenyuan Pavilion. This red cabinet is painted with hemp and hangs ash, and the whole body is covered with silver and vermilion oil without patterns. It is a copy of the three dynasties hidden in the cabinet. There is a gold-plated statue of Confucius' copper body, and four statues and one niche. This was given by Emperor Yingzong of the Ming Dynasty.

There is also an allusion when talking about the gold-plated statue of Confucius' copper tire in front of the red cabinet.

During the reign of Emperor Yingzong of the Ming Dynasty, there was no bronze statue of Confucius, only this red cabinet.

At that time, Li Xian, a famous minister of the Grand Secretary of the Ministry of Personnel, Jin Wenyuan Pavilion, entered the Grand Secretary for the Ministry of Personnel, felt uncomfortable sitting on the seat of the four square stools, so he decided to move the red cabinet behind the wall and set up a main seat facing the south at the red cabinet.

Peng Shi opposed the Tao that during the Xuande period, the Emperor Shengzhu arrived at Wenyuan Pavilion and set up a main seat to sit here, so you cannot sit.

Li Xian, this matter has been a long time, so why not.

Peng Shi said again, this is the inner palace, and you cannot sit in the south.

Li Xian, why do we have main seats in the east and in each room?

In Peng Shi, it was because there were plaques here and there were no plaques elsewhere.

Li Xian, there is a plaque in the East Pavilion and a main seat.

In Peng, it was facing the west side of the east side, not the south side.

Li Xian was moved to the air and said, "Is there a chief rank of the Grand Secretary of Wenyuan Pavilion?" Where is the reason why the official is in office but not the right position?"

Peng Shidao, it was in the outside yamen, such as the Six Ministry of the Ministry of the State, and the Minister of the Shangshu could sit in the south, but this was the inner palace. If the Grand Secretary of Wenyuan Pavilion sits in the main seat, then what should I do if the Grand Secretary of the Zhongji Palace and the Grand Secretary of the Jinshen Palace come? This palace is a place that the emperor often wants to go to. As the Grand Secretary of the Majesty, we are the consultant of His Majesty, and we are serving him side by side, and there is no reason for the Grand Secretary of the State.

Li Xian was speechless.

This incident later reached the emperor's ears.

So Emperor Yingzong of Ming Dynasty ordered the eunuch to bring a bronze statue of Confucius and placed it in front of the red cabinet. This move was to warn Li Xian, do you want to hold a seat? Okay, I have to set it up, but only a saint can sit there. You can't wait for the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet.

The purpose of Emperor Yingzong of Ming Dynasty was that Wenyuan Pavilion was to help the emperor handle government affairs for several cabinet ministers, and did not mean that you were the general leader.

More than a hundred years after the bronze statue was set up, although Wenyuan Pavilion and Wenhua Hall, which were in the imperial court, only face to face, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty never came to Wenyuan Pavilion once.

Let’s talk about Zhang Siwei’s seat-shifting meter.

Because Wenyuan Pavilion does not face the south main seat, the public seat is the most important.

After Zhang Siwei led all the officials to worship Confucius, he officially moved to the east head and ranked first in the east head. Zhang Juzheng's original position, after taking the Yuanfu printing, the officials congratulated him. Lin Yanchao also stepped forward with Wang Jiaping and saluted Zhang Siwei who was sitting on the square stool on four sides.

But seeing Zhang Siwei sitting high in a big red python robe, his eyes swept over and nodded slightly to Lin Yanchao who was treating him.

After the ceremony, Wang Jiaping and Lin Yanchao left Wenyuan Pavilion together.

As the two walked, Wang Jiaping said, "Zong Hai, I finally feel that the few words Xin Yuanfu said just now are a bit scary."

Lin Yanchao asked knowingly: "That's the sentence?"

Wang Jiaping said: "Why should Zong Hai pretend to be confused? It's Xu Huating's saying that he returned the lord with his power and blessings, returned the government affairs to the various departments, and rewarded them with punishment and rewards!"

Wang Jiaping is from Shanyin, Zhang Siwei is from Puzhou, and the two have a relative relationship. But they have completely different personalities. Zhang Siwei is unpredictable, while Wang Jiaping is very brave to speak and says whatever he has.

Lin Yanchao pondered and said, "I think it is the bend of a ruler to seek stretching."

Wang Jiaping sighed: "What Zong Hai said is extremely true, Puzhou is for himself, and Jiangling is for the world."

Lin Yanchao's intention is that the caterpillar bends his body in order to make progress. He used this to refer to Zhang Siwei's move as delegating power, but actually retreating as advancing, making his own way of seeking his own body and firmly taking the position of chief assistant.

Wang Jiaping sighed that Zhang Siwei was in order to seek self-success, so Zhang Juzheng monopolized the power, Zhang Siwei delegated power, Zhang Juzheng was strict with officials and Zhang Siwei was lenient, so as to win people's hearts. But how will Zhang Siwei continue the new policy led by Zhang Juzheng in the future?

The next day, the two of them were on duty and went to Wenhua Palace to meet the little emperor.

When the little emperor saw the two of them, he smiled and said, "I heard that you went to congratulate the new prime minister yesterday, what about you?"

Lin Yanchao and Wang Jiaping didn’t know what the emperor was referring to?

Wang Jiaping said, I wonder what Your Majesty is referring to?

The little emperor said, can you be called a wise minister?

Wang Jiaping could only pinch his nose and answer, saying that the new chief minister would return to the power of His Majesty, and the six ministries, and return the public opinion to the world. This is a true wise minister.

Lin Yanchao also said that Yuan Fu has always been in line with expectations and can be called the Golden Bowl.

"That's good." The little emperor smiled. When he saw Lin Yanchao, Wang Jiaping praised Zhang Siwei together. In addition, the eunuchs, the queen mothers, and several honorary relatives in the palace also said good things about Zhang Siwei in front of him. He felt that he was wise and found a prime minister who was not inferior to Zhang Juzheng.

Wang Jiaping and Lin Yanchao looked at each other in private and felt that the emperor was so young.

The little emperor took out a memorial and said to the two: "Former Yuanfu drafted a document this morning. He discussed with the Minister of Revenue and allocated 100,000 Taicang silver to the empress dowager and the concubines."

When Wang Jiaping and Lin Yanchao heard this, they all felt that Zhang Siwei was too shameless.

Every Lantern Festival, the royal family would climb the Chengtianmen Tower to enjoy Aoshan (a mountain made of colorful lanterns). However, last year, Zhang Juzheng advised the emperor that Aoshan expenses in the capital were very huge every year, and suggested that Aoshan be cancelled, so the young emperor could only accept it.

Zhang Juzheng was in power for ten years and refused to allow the court to use a tiny piece of Taicang silver (national treasury). This year, after Zhang Siwei ascended the throne, the first thing he did in order to please the young emperor was ordered to allocate money from Taicang silver to the emperor's concubines in the harem to jewelry.

Wang Jiaping was so angry that he stopped talking, and kept the little emperor's words aside and did not answer.

Seeing that Wang Jiaping refused to speak, Lin Yanchao hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty has been ascending the throne for ten years. The two empress dowagers have managed the family frugally. The concubines in the harem have dressed without any accessories, and they are just for the gifts. I think that the country is peaceful and there is nothing to do in all directions. It is also the time when Your Majesty is talking about filial piety. I think Yuan Fu is very considerate."

The little emperor smiled and said, "I think so too. Since I ascended the throne, the two empress dowagers have worked so hard. I have no way to repay them. I can only use this to fulfill my filial piety. Yuan Fu is truly in my heart."

When Wang Jiaping saw that Lin Yanchao actually expressed support, his face turned red and he frequently glared at Lin Yanchao, but Lin Yanchao pretended not to see it.

The little emperor paused and sighed, "I thought you would object to Lin Qing's family."

Lin Yanchao lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty governs the world with filial piety and carries the family with kindness. This is a filial piety act, and I can only support you sincerely."

The little emperor smiled and said, "I will tell you a happy event. Yuan Fu also said that the Ministry of Revenue has minted 30,000 guan in Yunnan. This money can be used for writing and teaching, and it can be used for the Ministry of Ceremony."

Hearing this, Lin Yanchao suddenly felt that Zhang Siwei was quite good.

Lin Yanchao bowed to the little emperor and said, "I congratulate Your Majesty, the plan for building people for a hundred years is truly a blessing for my great Ming Dynasty."
