Chapter 715 Thunderstorm
The spring rain that lasted for three or four days finally stopped, but when I looked up, there was still a dark patch in the sky, with strong wind blowing, but it could not disperse the dark clouds that blocked the sun.
The palace examination has been released. Just as the cabinet minister and the Minister of Rites chanted the ranking of the new Jinshi, outside the Fengtian Palace, a thunderclap suddenly sounded, and a thunderclap made several Jinshi sit down with their legs weak.
Fortunately, I kept waiting, until after the hairpin was praised, I still heard only the sound of thunder and no drops of rain fell.
Lin Yan entered the door with an umbrella, threw the umbrella that he had not used today to the old servant, and strode into the bookstore, "Brother, what's going on today?"
Today is the Golden Palace Chuanlu, and Lin Feng first entered Prince Yu's Mansion.
Instead of answering his younger brother's question, Lin Xuan got up and walked to the window, looking at the crooked flowers and plants blown by the wind outside the window, "There is no rain falling, but the thunder sounds."
"Yes, everyone is worried today and is looking forward to not raining. Ha, the sky follows the wishes of others, and there is no rain falling." Lin Feng paused and said, "There are three people in Suiyuan, Bao Qifang and Lu Shude are second-class Jinshi, and Pan Yunduan is the same as the Jinshi."
Lin Xuan nodded slightly. He already knew the ranking of his younger brother. He ranked 16th in the second grade, which is a very likely ranking of Shujishi.
When he opened the window, Lin Feng stood in the wind and sighed, "Today, he talked loudly. Before Duke Xuan arrived, his highness was easy-going, but his colleagues had their own thoughts."
It is normal for Gao Gong not to appear. Since he became the Minister of Taichang Temple and the Supervisor of the Imperial College, he has stopped working in the Prince Yu's Mansion.
Looking back at his younger brother, Lin Feng continued, "Brother Yifu frequently mentioned the people in Suiyuan, Qian Zhancai, Sun Yat-sen, Zhu Duanfu... Uncle Zhang looked calm, but His Highness asked Qian Zhancai when he would return to the capital."
Lin Feng said casually: "Uncle Zhang was still the same year as his eldest brother."
Lin Feng smiled bitterly, "He mentioned in private today that there is still one person missing in the Imperial College."
Now that the Imperial College is vacant, Gao Gong is in charge of the wine, and the Siye should be two, Zhang Juzheng occupied one, while the other has been vacant.
"With my eldest brother's qualifications and knowledge, it's more than enough." Lin Feng was thinking, and saw his father coming back from the corner of his eyes.
"Father."
"Father."
Lin Tingji walked into the house with a dark face, took out a letter from his sleeve, and threw it on Lin Feng's face, "No wonder since he first entered Beijing, he has been thinking about visiting Suiyuan again and again!"
"Father." Lin Xuan helped his father sit down, picked up the letter and read it carefully.
Lin Feng was not allowed to say anything about it, and he was kneeling on the ground honestly... Needless to say, it must be a mistake.
"Qian Zhancai's mother's birthday, my mother went to visit her..." Lin Xuan saw it for most of the time and didn't find anything wrong. He saw it at the end and his face changed, "Qian Zhancai's sister!"
"No wonder you are willing to drive Qian Zhan to join Shizhai Gong and get the Qian family's guards to escort into Beijing!" Lin Tingji scolded sternly: "You dare to hide such a thing and not report it!"
Lin Feng said bitterly: "Father, I don't know what the Qian family thinks about this. It's just right to take advantage of the birthday of Longquan Gong's mother to ask her mother for a while."
"Ask a few questions?" Lin Tingji was furious, "It's time for your mother to send a letter!"
"Really?" Lin Feng was overjoyed. It seemed that the Qian family nodded!
Seeing the youngest son's expression, Lin Tingji calmed down and said, "Go and get the bamboo stick!"
Lin Feng uttered, and he was going to do something... He glanced at Lin Feng beside him, brother, don't you persuade him?
Lin Tingji glanced at his eldest son from the corner of his eyes, "Yan'er?"
"No wonder..." Lin Feng came to his senses, "No wonder Sun Wenhe suddenly came to him that day and said something."
Lin Tingji snorted, "Today, the cabinet has approved it and entered the Zhan Shi Mansion, and the right Chunfang is the right Zhongyun."
"Congratulations to brother." Lin Feng immediately followed up, "If you enter the Zhanshi Mansion, if you can be promoted to the Imperial College, you will be able to be promoted to six ministries in two or three years."
"Imperial College Office?"
Lin Xuan explained a few words and sighed: "The situation in the court is so complicated, but my Lin family was involved."
Lin Ting's tip was as big as a fight. Now, the eldest son was pulled into Prince Yu's mansion by Gao Gong and transferred to Zhanshi's mansion. However, the youngest son was mixed with Suiyuan and even wanted to marry Qian Zhancai's sister.
Although Lin Tingji is not a skilled official, he also knows that he is so happy in the officialdom and looking around, his fate is worrying.
After asking a few questions, Lin Tingji was a little puzzled. Why did Xu Jie, who was behind Zhang Juzheng, also show his kindness?
Lin Feng, who was kneeling on the ground, hit the nail on the head, "It may not be Xu Huating, it is just Uncle Zhang."
Lin Xuan flashed his mind and nodded, "It is possible that Uncle Zhang has a great plan... Mr. Zhongxuan is probably going to lead a wolf into the house."
"Who told you to speak?" Lin Tingji scolded: "Go and get the bamboo stick!"
"Father, father, this matter may not be a bad thing." Lin Xian advised: "The wise man will not do it at both ends of the rat, but the Lin family was involved and left a backup..."
Lin Tingji pondered for a long time and stared at his youngest son and said, "How can your parents decide the major marriage matters? "
"Get a bamboo stick, ten boards."
"There is no need to persuade Lun'er, one more sentence, and one more rule!"
Lin Feng gave his younger brother a sympathetic look, and Lin Feng looked regretful... He had been mentally prepared for a long time. Even if the Golden Palace Chuan Lu today, there was a layer on his butt.
There was nothing to say all night. Lin Feng got up the next day and saw the dark circles on Lin Feng's face. He couldn't help but smile and pointed at himself with his back finger. The same two dark circles were the same.
It didn't rain all night, but it was thundering all night, so I didn't stop much. How did this make people fall asleep?
Lin Tingji also walked out of the house with dark circles and looked at the dry ground in the yard. He couldn't help but mutter a few times, only thunder and not raining, and he didn't know what God was doing.
After sending his father out of the house, Lin Feng took Lin Qian to the study and asked about the marriage in detail. If he really married the Qian family, there would be too many things to consider, and even the choice of wedding date would be affected by the court.
"Qian Zhancai went south to attack the Japanese and made contributions to the country. Although he was simply in the emperor's heart, he opened a sea ban on trade and set a precedent for this dynasty, and his future was not available." Lin Xuan said in a deep voice: "With him, I am afraid that your career will be in the future... Most of the people in Suiyuan will be the country's talents, such as Lu Zi directly elected a county magistrate, promoted his first-class political achievements and returned to Beijing to Hanlin Academy. Yang Chaoyang was strong in guarding Yihuang, and his integrity was unparalleled, but he might not be able to return to Beijing."
Lin Qiang thought for a while before asking: "Yesterday, my eldest brother said that His Highness Yu also asked when Duke Longquan would return to the capital?"
"Now the Yan Party is still in great power, but once the division is gone, it will inevitably collapse." Lin Xuan smiled bitterly: "Xu Huating, Shizhai Gong, Gao Xinzheng... either have a gap, a grudge, or a fear... Yesterday, Your Highness personally asked Qian Zhan to return, but I'm afraid that this is the reason why Gao Xinzheng is afraid."
Speaking of this, Lin Xuan sighed. He really admired that young man. After three years of entering the government, he almost offended all the people he could offend... but he had a good relationship with the Yan Party.
"Haha, hehe." Lin Feng smiled softly: "Go south to attack the Japanese coast and rescue them from water and fire, open a sea ban to trade to relieve the difficulties of the government's use, and choose sweet potatoes to save the people... No wonder Longquan Gong once said..."
"What?"
"All the officials in the court are insignificant!"
Lin Xuan looked up suddenly. Before he could say anything, a snake-shaped lightning broke through the sky outside the window, and a series of thunder and thunder were deafening. The two brothers turned their heads and looked at Lin Tingji with a serious face was coming quickly.
Lin Feng heard the drizzle of rain. When he stepped out of the house, the raindrops as big as beans were already rushing to fall from the air. The sound of clattering, accompanied by lightning that occasionally cut through the sky, the heavy rain finally fell.
