In the local prefectures and counties of the Ming Dynasty.

The magistrate is the seventh rank of the county, which is equivalent to the head of a county and the largest official, and it is also the most basic official in the Ming Dynasty.

Lin Yanchao's sixth-rank Hanlin was demoted to the seventh-rank magistrate, and if nothing unexpected happens, Lin Yanchao will be demoted to this county magistrate. Please ask Shen Shixing to do this matter easily.

Although the county magistrate is small, he is the top leader, the official seal, and the county is of no size and size. He is under the jurisdiction of Lin Yanchao. Although the official is small, it is a place to show his ambitions.

But the limitation is too small, and it is such a big deal for river technicians. Asking a magistrate is like a leopard in the middle of a trap.

So at least you have to go to the palace to serve as an official, who will be promoted, judge, and co-magistrate.

The seventh rank of the procurator, in charge of the criminal name, and the murder of the censor was also a case. If the emperor sent Lin Yanchao to investigate the case, he could be appointed as the procurator, but the procurator did not care about the river craftsman and acted as an internal agent.

Then it's a magistrate.

The General Prison, also known as the General Prison, can supervise the Chief of the Prefecture and be responsible for specific matters such as water conservancy and criminal names in the office.

The specific position is similar to the current deputy mayor in charge.

If the emperor intends to investigate the river work, he can issue an order to let himself take charge of water conservancy, and this will surely find out some clues.

But the lack of judging is that the target is too obvious. Lin Yanchao is in that position and you can tell at a glance that it was sent by the emperor to investigate the case. In this way, Lin Yanchao may become the second Lord Lu.

This is really a risk.

Lin Yanchao was waiting for the emperor Yuyin quietly. He didn't count no matter what he thought. The emperor was just a word.

At this time, the emperor slowly spoke: "What do I have to ask you to go to Guide Mansion to Ren Tongzhi?"

Tongzhi? That's the fifth grade!

For the chief of the government and the top magistrate, his complete official name is the official magistrate.

And the Tongzhi was a second official, with a full name, Tongzhishi, and his official position was the fifth rank.

Tongzhi and Tongzong are both assistant officials of the same office. So is there any difference?

First of all, the official position is higher than that of the Tongzong, one is the fifth rank and the other is the sixth rank.

The second is the responsibility. If the Tongzhi does not have a separate department, then the power in charge is not as high as the magistrate and cannot interfere in specific affairs. However, the Tongzhi can be a magistrate and the matter is the big or small matter in the palace, and the Tongzhi has the right to know.

If the prefect wants to submit something to the court or superior, he must first inform the tutor and the tutor must sign the petition in the submission.

From this point of view, Tongzhi is similar to the Standing Committee member, so he is similar to the current Standing Committee member and deputy mayor in the officialdom.

In addition, Tongzhi also has another right, that is, when the prefect is not here, for example, when he goes to Beijing to report his duties, he is sick and unable to take charge of the director, and Tongzhi has the right to manage the entire government office for the prefect.

After hearing the emperor's words, Lin Yanchao thought so much in an instant.

"Lin Yanchao, what are you thinking?" the emperor asked.

Lin Yanchao immediately came to his senses. Yuan Chengwang was demoted from the fifth rank to the seventh rank, but Lin Yanchao was promoted to the fifth rank. Although he could not serve in the Hanlin Academy, his official position was promoted by two levels as compensation.

This was not unexpected. Originally, Lin Yanchao took retreat as an advance, just to let the emperor come forward to keep him. If the emperor tried to keep him, he would never let him serve as a prosecutor or a magistrate, then he would at least be a sixth-rank magistrate.

This is the difference between taking the initiative to ask for an official and the emperor to stay.

Of course, Lin Yanchao proposed to reopen his official position at this time, and he also had his confidence.

With his friendship with the emperor, although the emperor was upset by his advice, he still intended to use his own heart. At least Lin Yanchao helped him to 'eliminate' the hidden danger of Lu Wang.

The real intention of depriving yourself of the empress dowager was to be unable to explain it to the empress dowager.

The reason why Lin Yanchao proposed to regain his official position at this time was to see whether the emperor would use the bargaining chip against Wuqing Marquis to protect his career.

If the emperor really thought he was a pillar of the country, he would definitely trade this matter with the empress dowager. At the moment, the emperor had made this idea in his heart.

As an emperor, Wanli must have many unqualified aspects, but as he said, he has always treated himself well, at least he is very kind to humanity. Of course, when Zhang Juzheng was the prime minister for him, the emperor was also good to him.

It is reasonable to let go. The empress dowager was scolded by Lin Yanchao and almost had a heart attack. Lin Yanchao stayed in the Hanlin Academy as if nothing had happened.

If so, Lin Yanchao will change his name to Lin Aotian in the future.

Let’s talk about the twenty-two-year-old "Deputy Mayor of the Standing Committee", no matter how you look at Lin Yanchao, he has a bright future. Moreover, Lin Yanchao left under the order and was a minister of imperial envoy in private.

Lin Yanchao said without hesitation: "The people of Cao Majesty thank His Majesty for their grace, and they will never let down His Majesty's entrustedness."

After hearing Lin Yanchao's reply, the emperor said happily: "But when you go to Henan, you are not only a person who is close to the people and serve the people, but also remember that you are from me. You should be my eyes and ears. If there are any officials in the local area who are corrupt and abused the law, don't protect them. I will do a few more times this time, even if he becomes a senior official, he will not tolerate it."

"If you do this job well, I will be promoted to your official position."

Lin Yanchao originally wanted to be a close official, practice his achievements, and gain enough political achievements. This is where he can display his ambitions better than being a minister in the court. As for the Hegong case, he did not want to offend people, after all, he would have to continue in the officialdom in the future.

But when the emperor said that he was good at handling the job and promoted himself to his post, he couldn't help but hesitate.

The official position of the fifth rank is very embarrassing. Further, from the fourth rank, you can wear a red robe and become a high-ranking official from now on.

However, don’t listen to the emperor’s words and officials are not tolerant. If you handle such a case, you must understand it in the opposite way. Remember to say, “The top should be capped”. Otherwise, with the level of the Ming Dynasty’s officialdom, some shocking case might be revealed.

This time, the death of Censor Lu was very suspicious, and the fact that the Henan Provincial Government said that he committed suicide was very telling the problem.

If you really check it carefully, the consequences will be unimaginable. Then, let alone Shen Shixing, the emperor will not be able to deal with you.

Thinking of this, Lin Yanchao said immediately: "Thank you for your grace, the people who go to Henan will be appointed as an official and benefit the people."

The emperor said with satisfaction: "A good sentence is to be an official and a reward for the people. Mr. Shen immediately drafted an amnesty and asked the Ministry of Personnel to issue it."

So Lin Yanchao said to the emperor: "The people of Cao Da say goodbye to Your Majesty."

The emperor nodded slowly and said, "Lin Qing, don't let my expectations down when you go to Henan."

Lin Yanchao left the palace. At this moment, Zhan Ming was waiting outside the palace in a carriage. When he saw Lin Yanchao, he asked, "How is the master?"

Lin Yanchao smiled and said, "Let's talk about it when you go back."

After saying that, Lin Yanchao got on the carriage, and soon the carriage left Dongzhimen.

Chen Jichuan was waiting outside. When he saw Lin Yanchao coming out of the palace safely, he was very happy and came to Lin Yanchao to the inn where Lin Qianqian and the others were staying.

The inn outside Dongzhimen is full of officials and businessmen from all over the world.

Lin Yanchao entered the inn, but when he saw his students sitting in the lobby of the inn, he was happy to see Lin Yanchao coming back: "Teacher, teacher."

Lin Yanchao smiled and nodded when he saw the disciples.

Lin Yanchao nodded, but at this time he saw someone saluting to him and saying, "Dongweng!"

Lin Yanchao looked carefully and it was Sun Chengzong. Lin Yanchao said in surprise: "Mr. Sun's high school filial piety, haven't I congratulated you yet?"

Sun Chengzong said: "When he heard that Dongweng issued an edict to prison, Sun Mouwu was like a burning place. What is it to be a filial piety and honest person? He only regretted that he could not share his worries with Dongwen at that time. Now he knew that Dongwen had been stripped from his hometown and that Sun Mou was not worthy of Dongwen. What would you guarantee him to do with such an imperial court?"

As he said that, Sun Chengzong left tears.

Lin Yanchao sighed: "Thank you Mr. Sun, Gao Yi, I am fine now, please rest assured Mr. Sun. I hope you can win the imperial examination next spring and do your best to the country and the country in the future."

Sun Chengzong said: "The current officialdom is so mediocre and even Dongweng is so loyal. Even if Sun is an official, he may not be able to do anything. Sun has long lost his intention to become an official and will not go to the spring exam next year."

Lin Yanchao couldn't help but feel sorry for Sun Chengzong. If there was no him in the Ming Dynasty, what would happen in the future? Lin Yanchao couldn't help but ask with concern: "Mr. Sun is such a pity, what are your plans in the future?"

Sun Chengzong said: "At present, as a juren, I can be exempted from service at home, so I want to study around and increase my knowledge. Sun has some wealth and wants to go to Fujian with Dongweng, so I ask Dongweng to agree."

Lin Yanchao was surprised when he heard this. Sun Chengzong gave up his fame and honor as a Jinshi and was willing to follow him.

Seeing this scene, Lin Yanchao couldn't help but be moved.

But I saw more than a dozen students saying, "We are willing to go to Fujian with our teachers."

Of course, not all the students. Some students serve their families and cannot travel far away, or will take the imperial examination next year, with regret on their faces.

Lin Yanchao saw this and said with a smile: "In the past, Saint Confucius was trapped in Chen and Cai, and Yan Huizi Gong was still with him. Although I dare not compare with the saint, I am still worthy of your followers today. This is a blessing from Lin, please accept my tribute."

As he said that, Lin Yanchao bowed to the disciples.

All the disciples dared not accept the ceremony, so they all knocked on them and returned the ceremony.

In the past, there were as many as 100 disciples who were imprisoned by the emperor, but there are still more than a dozen people following him. As a teacher, it is enough to be like this.

When the merchants in the inn saw him, they also said, "Lin Sanyuan is such a loyal minister, but he was demoted to a civilian. It is really unfair to the court."

Everyone sighed with regret, and several businessmen came out and said, "Lin Sanyuan, we all remember what you have done for us people. Although I am a businessman, although I have no ability, I still have a few stinky money. Today, the fees for your inn will be counted on me."

After the businessman said that, another businessman stood up and said, "No, the shopkeeper, what Lin Sanyuan and his friends eat and drink today are all counted on me, Lao Zhang."

"Hey, Lao Zhang, you are so handsome. How can you monopolize such a good thing? I will give you a little bit. From now on, I will say that I invited loyal ministers like Lin Sanyuan to dinner."

"Farewell, you are worthy of treating Lin Sanyuan to dinner, don't put gilds on your face."

"It's all me, it's okay, I, Lao Li, have a thick-skinned face."

"Although I don't have much money, I can still invite Lin Sanyuan to drink a bowl of wine."

Seeing more than a dozen merchants in the store scrambled for me, at this moment, someone outside the door whispered loudly: "The imperial edict has arrived!"
Chapter completed!
