After giving instructions to several students, the servants on the side stepped forward and said, "Master, the lady has already set up a banquet in the yard to congratulate the master on his promotion."

Lin Yanchao nodded and smiled, "Madam is in love."

Then Lin Yanchao smiled at everyone and said, "There are no outsiders here, everyone can use a casual banquet together."

Everyone was invited by Lin Yanchao and their faces were shining.

Just then, Chen Jichuan and Zhan Ming came. Zhan Ming reported: "Master, the right minister of the Ministry of Personnel, the bachelor of the school and the lecture on the imperial lecture on the day of the ceremony, Lord Shen sent his family to send congratulatory letters, Payi, and Master He was promoted."

After Zhan Ming finished speaking, Chen Jichuan reported: "After the Minister of Rites, the Bachelor of the School and the Seminar of the Ministry of Rites, the lecture on the day of the lecture, Zhu Geng and Zhu sent someone to send congratulatory letters and patiences. He said that the master must be busy with promotion today, so he would not come to disturb him and visit him again the next day."

Lin Yanchao smiled and said, he was too polite.

"And the two lords said that on the day the master took office, he would personally go to the courtyard to give a gift."

Lin Yanchao nodded and said, "Tell me the two adults, I thank them for their kindness."

Lin Yanchao took it for granted, but Qiu Mingshan and the students were shocked when they heard it.

Chen Yiguan and Zhu Geng were not only Yaqing of the Ministry of Personnel and Rites, but also a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy. They sent people to congratulate him and expressed their solemnity.

Although it was just a congratulatory note and several handkerchiefs, the etiquette had already arrived.

The servants below reported again: "Zhang Wei, the youngest and senior officer of the Zhanshi Mansion, attended the Bachelor's School, and sent someone to send a congratulatory letter to the patience."

"Mr. Chen Yubi Chen, a scholar from the Ministry of Economic Affairs Bureau of Zhanshifu, sent someone to send a congratulatory letter to him, a pati."

"The left-handed and lecturer of the Zhanshifu, Yu Shenxing, sent someone to send a congratulatory letter to him, and a patience."

"Xu Xianqing, the young master of the Zhanshi Mansion, and the attendant of the Hanlin Academy, sent someone to send a congratulatory letter to him, Payi."

"Han Shineng, the left-hand mansion of Zhan Shi's office and the attendant of Hanlin Academy, personally sent a congratulatory letter, Pa Yi."

The following are all listed by everyone who come to congratulate you. Those with higher official positions than Lin Yanchao will not come.

Those with low official positions went through the mansion in person, so they were attentive.

In addition to Chen Yiguan and Zhu Geng, two third-rank ministers of the Ministry of Rites and Personnel, Zhang Wei was the chief of the Hanlin Academy, and Xu Xianqing was the chief of the Zhanshi Mansion and the secretary of the Zhanshi Mansion.

The two of them, one is the Hanlin Academy and the highest official of the Zhanshi Mansion, sent people to congratulate him. Both of them are Shao Zhanshi, who are the fourth rank, and their official positions are above Lin Yanchao.

However, Xu Xianqing's position in the Hanlin Academy was just a servant, and he was in charge of the court, so he was only a nominee in the Hanlin Academy, and his job was in the Zhanshi Mansion.

As for Chen Yubi, although Yu Shenxing and both were Hanlin bachelors, one was the Sijing Bureau Xima, and the other was Zuo Yude, both of whom were from the fifth rank, so their ranks were ranked below Lin Yanchao's left son.

If Zhu Geng and Chen Yiguan were deducted, they actually served in the Ministry of Personnel and Rites, so after all, Lin Yanchao's status in the Hanlin Academy is second only to Zhang Wei, a bachelor of the school.

Even if Zhu Geng and Chen Yiguan were included, Lin Yanchao ranked fourth among the bachelor's students in the Hanlin Academy.

However, facing the officials who came to congratulate one after another and colleagues in the Hanlin Academy who came to congratulate each other, it was a problem to see each other or not.

"Master, you are all congratulatory guests, and many of them are your former relatives of the same age as you used to be. If you don't see me, you're disrespectful."

Lin Yanchao thought for a while and said, "It's different from the past. In the past, I was just a Hanlin and I had nothing to ask for. But if I accept guests from private doors, it will be reported that it is not a bachelor's body."

"You go outside to stop and tell the guests that they will receive the gifts. You can also accept ordinary gifts. If you want to meet in the future, you will be dismissed in the official affairs office. As for private matters, you will be exempted. If you offend people because of this, it will be impossible."

Chen Jichuan and Zhan Ming looked at each other, then went out to stop people as Lin Yanchao ordered.

Everyone knows that it is actually just a word. Now, as a Hanlin bachelor, Lin Yanchao cannot meet just by wanting to see him.

Lin Yanchao smiled at everyone and said: I won’t see any foreign guests today, everyone will go to the banquet together.”

Everyone was delighted.

Lin Yanchao was not drunk at this banquet, but just drank three cups and put them down.

After the banquet, Lin Yanchao summoned Chen Jichuan to meet in the study.

Chen Jichuan saw Lin Yanchao closing his eyes and his face was solemn, not knowing what the purpose was.

Half a day later, Lin Yanchao opened his eyes and said, "This time I was promoted to a Hanlin Bachelor's degree, which is not only a good thing, but also not entirely a good thing."

Chen Jichuan said: "I'll ask the master to show me."

Lin Yanchao said: "The emperor suddenly relied on me and promoted me to a bachelor's degree. He obviously wanted to be prepared as a prime minister. If I had this kind of grace before meeting the saint, I would certainly be happy, but now the emperor has not yet dispelled his doubts about me, but he is relied on it. That is because of the achievements of Guide and water control, but in fact, it does not really agree with my determination to reform and reform."

Chen Jichuan felt the trouble.

Lin Yanchao said: "The matter of reform and reform is my original intention. This ambition will not be changed, so I will never compromise with the emperor in exchange for my opportunity to enter the cabinet. Even if there is no such thing, the ancients said that if you advance, you will think of retreating, so you must seek room for change for yourself. Fortunately, I am now promoted to a bachelor's degree, and in this position I can do a lot of things for my disciples and fellow disciples."

"But the most important thing now is to find a substitute. If I don't help in the future, there will be a helper in the court."

Chen Jichuan's eyes flashed and asked, "What the master means is to be in this exam..."

Lin Yanchao said: "It's true. However, Shen, Zhu, the two ministers of the school, and Zhang Xueshi, who is in charge of the college, have not passed the examination in the examination, so I am not very good at taking the examination in the bench. Although I can serve as the examiner of the palace examination, there are still limits. You can see which of my many students can be cultivated."

Chen Jichuan said: "Little man..."

Lin Yanchao said warmly, "You have followed me for more than ten years, from ignorance to now, not only can you understand the text and write, but also become more and more sophisticated in dealing with things. I cannot come forward to many things in the future, so I will leave them to you. Tell me what you think?"

Chen Jichuan said immediately: "These years have been carefully cultivated by the master, otherwise the villain would still be living a life of making a living on the edge of a knife. Since the master trusts the villain, let's tell the truth. The best candidate at the moment is of course the master's disciple, Tao and Yuan, but they also have shortcomings. Mr. Tao is too arrogant and Mr. Yuan is too sharp. It is still a little difficult to be the master's substitute, but their loyalty to the master is absolutely visible. Without the right person, they can choose."

Lin Yanchao nodded happily and said, "You continue talking."

After receiving encouragement, Chen Jichuan continued: "The others are the three brothers of the Yuan family and Yang Daobin. For example, although the three brothers of the Yuan family admire the master's knowledge, it is still hard to say whether they will be with us in the court in the future. At present, it seems that they can be used as a helping hand, but they are still a little short of entrusting major events."

"As for the other disciples of the master, they either have insufficient knowledge and lack of knowledge, or they have a short relationship and are difficult to know the truth. Therefore, after thinking about it, there is only one candidate for the villain, that is... Mr. Sun."

Lin Yanchao nodded when he heard this.

Chen Jichuan said: "But Mr. Sun also has one shortcoming, that is, his relationship with us is too deep. Everyone knows that he has followed you for so many years. When the master advised the emperor to be demoted, Mr. Sun abandoned his fame and flew thousands of miles to Guide. If anyone is interested in this matter, it will be easy to investigate."

"Master, please forgive me for saying that the so-called substitute is that if we fall, he cannot fall. Therefore, it may not be of use to push Mr. Sun."

Lin Yanchao smiled and said, "There is nothing absolute. Now Yuanfu was promoted by Zhang Jiangling, but later when the emperor settled Zhang Jiangling, Yuanfu was fine. This shows that the matter is caused by humans. Besides, I have so many disciples and disciples, it is impossible for the emperor to think that they are my confidants."

"I once said that I have three things that are inferior to Mr. Sun. I am not as kind as him, not as sincere as him to others, and not as dedicated as him to others. People can be cultivated slowly with talent and insight, but these three points cannot be cultivated. If Mr. Sun has this opportunity, I am afraid the emperor will trust him."

Speaking of this, Chen Jichuan hurriedly said, "Mr. I am less than 25 years old and I am serving as a scholar. How many people can there be in the world? Your Majesty’s trust in the master is in his heart."

Lin Yanchao waved his hand and said, "Okay, don't flatter me. You see, my promotion is very glorious, but as long as Your Majesty continues to disagree with my reform proposal, then if you drag on this, the disagreement between me and Your Majesty is hard to avoid. Although I have a way to resolve it, I must reserve a way out. Choosing a substitute is also a precaution."

"Okay, let's talk about the main topic. Since you coincide with me, then you will leave Mr. Sun's affairs to you. In the past few months, you have to tell Lin Nuo about the matter in the mansion. You can use all means to help Mr. Sun, but don't let Mr. Sun know what you help you, and don't let anyone know what I mean."

Chen Jichuan said immediately: "Yes, master, the villain will do it now."

"Not only that, the other side of the canal waterway should not be handed over to Mr. Qiu. You stare at some secretly and then plant several people. There are also Mr. Mei, Xinggui, Haoyuan and others to go to Beijing. Please pay attention to whether the officials who come to the door can be in the Ministry of Revenue. The officials of Shuntian Prefecture have the second place, but they must be able to speak. By the way, Xinggui comes to Beijing, and I have ordered him to bring your family from your hometown to Beijing. I heard that Xinggui has married the fifth wife, so you can't fall behind."

Chen Jichuan and Lin Yanchao both laughed when they heard this. Lin Yanchao gave a few more instructions, wrote them one by one in his heart, and then took the leave.

Afterwards, Lin Yanchao came to the room, but saw Lin Qianqian sitting in front of the lamp with her eyebrows frowned, while Xiao Yanchao was sleeping on the couch, sleeping soundly.

Lin Yanchao stepped forward to cover Xiao Yanchao with a quilt, came to Lin Qianqian and asked, "Madam, I have just been promoted to a bachelor's degree, but why do you look depressed?"

Lin Qianqian said with annoyance, "Honey, I suddenly feel that I'm useless?"
