Chapter 764 Small Banquet
The banquet was held in the side hall, with ventilation in front and back, and the climate was suitable. There were only four or five dishes, a pot of rice wine, and the four of them sat together. After entering Beijing, they finally took a breath. Li Mo suddenly felt like he was a different world.
Three years ago, he left so frustratedly and almost died in prison. Now, he has made a comeback and has gone to a higher level. Li Mo couldn't help but drink a few more drinks.
"No more drinking." Li Mo stopped Lin Feng, who was pouring wine. "After three years, even though he had letters, he also read the newspaper in detail. After all, he was tickling his shoes. Now, the situation in Beijing is in detail, Li Ren will talk about it in detail."
Lin Tingji whispered: "The fraud case broke out in the imperial examination and Yan Donglou was expelled from Beijing. It is rumored that the Yan family gave half of their wealth to the transport warehouse, so that Yan Donglou could return home. Unexpectedly, he was robbed and killed halfway through. Xu Huating attacked in the capital very urgently. Under the raging emotions, everyone determined that Huating was the mastermind behind the scenes."
After listening to Lin Tingji's detailed speech, Li Mo pondered for a moment and said, "Even if it wasn't Huating's move, it must be an insider who will contribute to the fire."
"So, although the party is in ruins, the party is still trusted by His Majesty. The Minister of Revenue in Nanjing, Ma Kun, wanted to retire but failed, and was already imprisoned." Lin Tingji shook his head, "Huating retreated, and the flames of the fame grew. Coupled with the incident in Suicu last month...Huating was criticized and his fame plummeted."
After hearing Lin Feng's narration, Li Mo frowned and scolded Lin Feng, "Although you and Qian Zhan have the same old age, why are you so impulsive in this kind of thing?"
Lin Tingji and Lin Xuan both had expressionless faces... Is he impulsive? He clearly went to show his gratitude!
Although they are dating peers, Li Mo is fifteen years older than Lin Tingji. He is considered to be two generations in this era. Lin Feng is unwilling to nod and dare not refute it. He just laughs foolishly.
Li Mo's eyes fell on Lin Feng, and he stroked his beard and smiled: "Duke Quanshan was the Imperial College during the Hongzhi period. Li Ren was also the Imperial College in Nanjing three years ago. Now Zhenheng is the Imperial College. In the next day, he priests of wine, and one priest of wine for three generations will be a good story."
Lin Xuan answered respectfully and confidently: "I wish to inherit the aspirations of my father and grandfather and not lose my name."
Lin Tingji was very satisfied with this answer. The eldest son is much better than the youngest son.
Li Mo had a smile on his face. Lin Feng had already joined the Zhan Shi Mansion and the Imperial College of Jin, and would be able to help a lot in the future... In particular, Lin Feng was appointed as a lecturer in Prince Yu's Mansion, and later he was an old minister in the palace and had the merit of following the dragon.
To a certain extent, in Li Mo's opinion, Lin Feng is more important than Lin Tingji... After all, it is difficult for the latter to go further. If you don't transfer two or three ministers, you basically have no hope of being the Minister of Jin.
"Your Highness is diligent in studying, has the spirit of tolerance, practices frugality, and is like a wise ruler." Lin Xuan carefully chose his words, but Li Mo has been in the capital for so many years, so he doesn't know what kind of person King Yu is.
Li Mo asked sharply: "Hao Xinzheng still covers the sky with one hand?"
Lin Xuan smiled bitterly, "Since he was in charge of the Imperial College last year, Duke Zhongxuan is no longer a lecturer in the Prince Yu's Mansion, but his heroic spirit is still valued by His Highness. No matter how big or small, His Highness must order the envoy to ask questions, and never avoid any taboos when entering and leaving the Prince's Mansion every day."
"Gao Suqing, who has great ambitions, can be the most important person in the world, and should be a minister of the country." Li Mo sighed: "But he is the most difficult person to hide his energy and endure. He is urgent and cannot tolerate things or tolerate others."
Lin Feng was speechless. Although he had the intention to save the world and the country, he kept himself clean and kept his body like jade... In other words, he was not very powerful.
Gao Gong looks like Yan Fenyi a few years ago, and covers the sky with one hand; Chen Yiqin, who is also an old minister, and Yin Shidan looks like Li Mo three years ago. Although the two sides did not break up, they had already had several conflicts in private.
The remaining few people, Hu Zhengmeng, looked like Lu Ben, was not concerned about anything; Zhang Juzheng leaned against Xu Huating and got Gaoxin Zheng Xinzhong, which was a bit like Qian Zhancai, who was very good at all times back then.
Zhang Siwei and Lin Xuan also have their own backgrounds behind him, which prevents the complexity of the current Prince Yu's mansion from strife in the court.
Although Gao Gong introduced Lin Feng to Prince Yu's Mansion and later recommended him as the Imperial College Office, Lin Feng could vaguely feel that Gao Gong seemed to regret it.
Although Li Mo was strong-willed, he was not a rough person. After asking all kinds of things clearly, he had already made plans in his heart.
He recovered himself and had signs of entering the cabinet quickly. In addition, Xu Jie made stupid moves some time ago, so Li Mo knew who his opponent was.
This is also in line with Li Mo's plan. Although Yan Song is hateful, Xu Jie is even more hateful!
After thinking about it, Li Mo took the initiative to change the topic and his eyes fell on Lin Feng. "Last year, I passed the provincial examination and passed the imperial examination this year. I heard that Zhenyao has not yet been engaged?"
Lin Qian felt nervous. This sounded wrong... Could it be that you still want to be a matchmaker?
When Lin Tingji received the look he handed over to his youngest son, he said with a sting, "I have some intentions..."
"I wonder if it's the daughter of the He family?" Li Mo did not have the intention of being a matchmaker and asked with interest: "Min County Lin family has a scholarly family and is famous all over the country. He has been a five-generation Jinshi in the third generation. Zhen Yao has passed the imperial examination before he was in a weak title. He is not worthy of his average family."
"It's also the daughter of a famous family." Lin Tingji smiled dryly: "Two Jinshi and several Juren within three generations, and their great-grandfather, the top scholar during the Hongzhi period."
"The top scorer in the Hongzhi period?" Li Mo hesitated.
"It's the Qian family in Songjiang." Lin Feng's words made Li Mo give up his memories, "Qian Zhancai's legitimate sister."
"What?!" Li Mo's face changed drastically, "How could it be Qian Zhancai?!"
Lin Feng couldn't help but complain that it was Qian Zhancai's sister who got engaged, not Qian Zhancai!
"This fact is a coincidence." Lin Xuan explained: "I met a big insect on the road last year, and fortunately I was rescued by the Qian family's guards. Later, I went to Beijing to take the exam and stayed in Zhenhai for some days..."
After listening for a while, Lin Feng suddenly interrupted and said, "I will never give you selfless teachings."
Lin Xuan looked at his younger brother speechlessly, saying that he was discussing whether you had any private lessons?
This is what we are explaining to Shi Zhai Gong that the Lin family does not want to turn around and is not going separate ways with Shi Zhai Gong!
Suiyuan is not only famous in Beijing. Although Qian Yuan has made enemies everywhere, he has also connected to all directions. Over the past three years, Suiyuan has frequently shown his face and has become a political force that is not ignored.
Li Mo naturally understood it. He nodded slightly to Lin Xuan, then looked at Lin Feng, "No wonder he worked so hard at the beginning of the year and was running around for Qian Zhan."
Lin Feng was a little nervous, and he knew it clearly. Speaking of which, this was a private matter of the Lin family, but if Li Mo strongly opposed it, his father and brother might not insist.
"It's used on this..." Li Mo murmured to himself, and suddenly slapped the desktop lightly, "No wonder... No wonder!"
"Brother Shi Yan?"
Li Mo waved his hand and sighed in his heart. He kept thinking about how Qian Yuan would use to get favors. He was imprisoned and could recover at this time. Qian Yuan had worked hard... Unexpectedly, he used favors to this matter.
But Li Mo immediately woke up. No wonder Xu Wenchang argued with him for a long time in front of His Majesty today, but he left Wanshou Palace until he left Xiyuan, without saying a word on the way.
Obviously, Qian Yuan is separating himself, after all, today... may be the most suspicious king since the founding of the country.
But Li Mo didn't quite understand. Could it be that Qian Yuan gave up returning to Hanlin just for his sister's marriage and stopped his path to becoming a prime minister in the future?
In the final analysis, from Emperor Jiajing to Li Mo, Xu Jie, Gao Gong and other important officials, they all valued the Hanlin too much and regarded the entry into the cabinet as the pinnacle of their career.
