When Wang Xijue said this, his words stopped, but anyone knows who the person Wang Xijue refers to.

Needless to say, I understand it again.

Lin Yanchao wondered whether Wang Xijue said this to him at this time was a kind reminder or another warning?

Lin Yanchao is unknown, but he will never give Wang Xijue a guarantee.

Lin Yanchao smiled and said, "How could the Master of the Pavilion think that the superiors have such profound meanings? The official remembers that when Zhang Jiangling was discussing crimes, many officials were not afraid of being involved in helping and protecting them. Among them was Hai Gangfeng. Zhang Taiyue was in power for ten years and Hai Gangfeng lived at home for ten years, but he was especially able to write to the book. Zhang Taiyue was good at planning the country and was not as clumsy as planning for his own business."

"There are also Zou Nangao who was almost killed by a stick. It is still said that Zhang Taiyue's achievements are in the country and his mistakes are in his wealth."

"Even the central hall wrote a letter to the guard. The lower officials remembered that the old master said in the memorial that Zhang Taiyue's career was also considerable."

Wang Xijue nodded and said, "Yes, I did mention this."

Lin Yanchao said seriously: "The Hai Gangfeng, Zou Nangao, and the Zhongtang were all deeply offended by Zhang Taiyue when Zhang Taiyue was in power, but after Zhang Taiyue died of illness, they all wrote letters to protect him. Did the superior adviser have ever been favored by Zhang Taiyue when he was in power? He never had it. When the subordinate was in power, he was demoted by Zhang Taiyue. Why didn't the subordinate hate Zhang Taiyue? If the subordinate agreed to his new policy, why not follow it at that time? Instead, he has made his own decisions now?"

"The lower-ranking officials are not people who want to be troubled. They were just out of the same thought as the middle hall. They couldn't bear to be desolate behind Zhang Taiyue. Apart from that, there was no other sight. As for what the cabinet master said, he was only twenty-five years old. In terms of calmness and stability, how could he compare with the current dynasty? The cabinet master's words just now were too high, and the lower-ranking officials really dare not have such extravagant hopes."

This seems to be what Lin Yanchao said.

Wang Xijue refused to comment when he heard this. At this time, two more officials came to toast. After raising his glass from afar, Wang Xijue said to Lin Yanchao: "Then let me pretend that I was wronged for a moment, and Zonghai should not take it to heart."

Lin Yanchao smiled and said, "This is the love that the central government has given to the lower officials. It's too late to be grateful to the lower officials."

Wang Xijue nodded and stopped talking at the moment.

The officials and new Jinshi in the hall saw Lin Yanchao and Wang Xijue for a long time, and they couldn't help but be curious about what the two had just talked about.

At this time, when he saw the Minister of Rites Shen Li coming to Wang Xijue, Lin Yanchao said, "What are the two presidents just talking about? I wonder if Shen can listen carefully?"

Wang Xijue said: "We have just discussed the matter of the current examination with Mr. Lin. In the past, when the red scrolls and ink scrolls and the Ministry of Rites surveyed, the two volumes were not checked, for fear of negligence. From the next examination, it should be from the provincial examination of the year after. The cabinet plans to report tomorrow when the Emperor's Ministry of Rites surveyed, the red scrolls and ink scrolls must be checked!"

After Wang Xijue finished speaking, Lin Yanchao smiled and said nothing, his expression was very calm.

Shen Li nodded with some thoughts and said, "So that's it. The Ministry of Rites used only to hand over red scrolls and not ink scrolls. There are indeed disadvantages in it. The cabinet master's opinion is really admirable."

Wang Xijue waved his hand and said, "Brother Zhonghua, you and I have been together for many years and don't wear high hats."

Then Wang Xijue looked at Lin Yanchao again and said, "The cabinet's ticket was planned yesterday that you and Mr. Zhu of the Ministry of Rites should be the teacher of Shujishi. The decree has just been issued and the six disciplines have been reached. I have congratulated Zonghai in advance."

Lin Yanchao smiled and said modestly: "The lower-ranking officials are talented and knowledgeable. In the future, I will ask the Zhongtang and the Grand Master for advice."

Chen Li said: "When it comes to this matter, the censor reported that there are not many numbers to choose from Shujishi in each subject. Your Majesty ordered the Ministry of Rites to discuss it. I wonder what the cabinet has to tell you?"

Lin Yanchao thought to himself that the censors were really too polite to control the number of Shujishi and the number of Hanlins in the hall.

Wang Xijue looked at Lin Yanchao and asked, "Zonghai, how do you think?"

Lin Yanchao said: "The lower officials thought that Hanlin was the prime minister, and if they did not enter Hanlin, they would not be appointed as the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet. The Grand Secretary of the Cabinet was the prime minister. The central government center would definitely win the person. If the candidates for Shuji scholars were reduced, there might be regrets of leaving behind."

Chen Li said: "So Zong Hai means objection?"

Lin Yanchao said: "The officials thought that the court should use regular officials more than just and have enough experience in governing one area. If the court is willing to relax the standards for not entering the cabinet unless it is Hanlin, then it will often fall second."

This is never mentioned in the Ming Dynasty's Law, but this unwritten rule is more useful than writing it into the Ming Dynasty Law.

If Lin Yanchao was an ordinary Hanlin, he would definitely offend someone if he said this. But he was a Hanlin bachelor, so he couldn't get along with him? Obviously not. In Shen Li, Wang Xijue's eyes, he dared to speak out.

This discussion is calm.

After the Enrong Banquet, Lin Yanchao rushed to Shenshixing Mansion.

It was almost time to Hai.

Lin Yanchao reported to Shen Shixing about Zhang Jing, Shu Hongzhi and Wang Xijue.

Shen Shixing said solemnly: "You can hide your actions from others, but you can't hide them from Wang Taicang. He is the prime minister of the dynasty and has been an official for decades. He has never seen any means. You must not rely on your little cleverness to see no one in the court."

Lin Yanchao said: "It was the student who didn't care so much at that time, but he just thought about how to win the scholars impartially while dealing with Zhang Jing."

Shen Shixing nodded and said, "I understand. Since Wang Taicang said so, he has no intention of pursuing it. Even if he wants to pursuing it, no one can tell that you wrote it with that sentence. But I don't understand, when did you get together with Zhang Jing?"

Lin Yanchao said: "When the student issued an edict to prison, if he had not requested Zhang Jing in advance, he would have peeled off a layer of skin even if he had not died, so he owed favors. In this exam, he asked the students for help, but the students could not refuse."

Shen Shixing suddenly said, "No wonder that everyone in the officialdom has times when they are in control. But Zhang Jing is a domineering person, acting arrogantly, forming cliques and accepting bribes, and causing trouble sooner or later. You must not be too close to him, so as not to get the time to get burned!"

Lin Yanchao said: "The students thanked their teachers for their advice, but the students thought that Zhang Jing was also useful for Zhang Jing."

Shen Shixing showed a look of inquiry on his face when he heard this.

Lin Yanchao explained: "Now, Shen Zongbo and Zhao Yongxian are all things to look forward to in the court. Especially Zhao Yongxian was active and criticized the current affairs. Li Zhi and Jiangdongzhi, Yang Keli, and Xiang followed him. This is a great trouble for his mentor. Zhang Jing was inappropriate and was often impeached by censors. As far as I know, Zhang Jing also hated Zhao Yongxian deeply..."

Shen Shixing reached out and said, "Although I am not in harmony with Zhao Yongxian and the others, if you want to persuade me, Zhang Jing, to make friends, you will not be ashamed to do it..."

If it was changed to others, he must have lost his words at this time, but Lin Yanchao and Shen Shixing had been instructors and students for so many years, why didn’t he know what he meant?

So Lin Yanchao said: "What my mentor means is to find a way that can neither make friends with Zhang Jing nor defeat Zhao Yongxian and the others?"

Shen Shixing showed a child-taught look, but said, "I have already known what Zhang Jing means from you. What's the matter? I will ask someone to interact with Zhang Jing separately. If you can achieve success, it won't happen. For example, you can hit someone with a fist, but you can't stick your body."

"On the contrary, you must not intervene anymore. If Zhang Jing's relationship can be cut off, it will be broken. Finally, it will be cleared as soon as possible. Otherwise, if this person fails in the future, you will be dragged into the water."

Lin Yanchao immediately said: "Students remember it."

The palace examination is over in a blink of an eye.

At this time, several things happened in the court.

The first is Lin Yanchao, the attendant scholar, and Zhu Geng, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites, was chosen as a teacher of Shuji. This is natural.

Zhu Geng's official position was changed from the Left Minister of Rites to the Left Minister of Personnel. Chen Yiguan, the former Left Minister of Personnel, asked for leave to go home. People at that time often said that Chen Yiguan was angry because the deputy chief examiner of the original examination was disturbed by the Minister of Rites Chen Li.

The second is Yuan Zongdao, Liu Hongbao, Wang Mengxu, Wu Yingbin, Xue Sancai, Wang Tu, Xiao Yunju, Quantianxu, Wang Daozheng, Li Yi, Peng Yang, Lin Zushu, Huang Ruliang, Zhao Biao, Lin Chengfang, Zeng Li, Hu Kejian, Liu Weiji, Chen Yinglong, Yu Shilian and other twenty people were Shujishi.

There were 28 Shujishis in the previous subject. Later, some died of illness and some asked for leave. Three years later, twenty-one Shujishis were left, eight of them stayed in the hall, and thirteen of them were separated.

After the Censor's report, the court intends to reduce the Shujishi. Then Zhang Wei, Zhu Geng, Lin Yanchao and others report to the emperor to fight for it, and then they took two more people.

Lin Yanchao "recruiting talents without avoiding relatives" put Yuan Zongdao, Chen Yinglong and Yu Shilian into the Hanlin Academy.

In addition to Yuan Zongdao, Lin Yanchao did not necessarily keep Chen Yinglong and Yu Shilian as Hanlin, but the starting point of Shujishi was higher.

However, it is said that Yu Shilian's follower Yu Kong Jian was a Jinshi in the eighth year of Wanli and had a friendship with Lin Yanchao.

After becoming a Jinshi in Kong, he was first appointed as the Promotion Officer of Jiujiang. Later, he returned to Beijing to serve as the head of the Ministry of Rites. He has always been kind to Gu Xiancheng and has a deep friendship with Guo Zhengyu.

It was under the influence of Kong Jian that Yu Shilian got close to Lin Xue. He first joined Lin Yanchao's disciple. After Lin Yanchao left Beijing, he followed Guo Zhengyu.

As for another disciple, Hou Zhigong, he was determined to be an official. He did not intend to stay in Beijing as an official at the beginning, but decided to put him in the local area as a magistrate.

Another fellow villager Lin Jiheng also served as the magistrate of the local government.

As for Xu Huobo, Yuan Keli, and Lin Xin were all staying with Lin Yanchao.

All three were elected by Lin Yanchao to study in the Imperial College. Xu Huobo was originally a deputy in the provincial examination. Lin Xin was a juren, and it was easy to enter the Imperial College. However, Yuan Keli asked Lin Yanchao to write a letter to ask the current governor of Guide Prefecture He Runyao to recommend it and include it in the tribute status.

After his cousin Lin Yanshou failed the exam repeatedly in the county examination, the Zhen family paid the money to get Lin Yanshou to join the Imperial College.

Of course, Lin Yanchao originally had a quota for Lin Yanshou to join the Imperial College, but the Zhen family said that they were not short of this amount of money, so it didn't matter.

The palace examination in the 14th year of Wanli made Lin Yanchao really fruitful.

It doesn’t matter how many students you have chosen to be with fellow students. What is important is the development of the School of Merit, which has already made scholars in the Ming Dynasty pay attention to reading pragmaticity.

Neo-Confucianism has passed its peak and has become increasingly outdated, but instead becomes a shackle. The mind study continues to support Zen and Confucianism, which is separated from the original intention of Confucianism to enter the world. The study of merit is like fresh blood injected into the old body of the Ming Dynasty. After Lin Xue, it was the "new Neo-Confucianism" advocated by Gu Xiancheng and Gu Yuncheng brothers.

The other is the Qi theory passed down by Luo Shunqin and Wang Ting, but this knowledge is very small and cannot be compared with the previous two.

The mainstream school of Wanli Dynasty was generally like this.

After the museum selection, Lin Yanchao knew that this time the show was full of popularity and must stop when it was better and should not show any amazing actions.

Thinking of Shen Shixing's words (farming violent soldiers), and the emperor's fear of reform (inviting junglers), he focused on farming this acre of three-part land in the Hanlin Academy, taught Shujishi (descending development), and no longer involved in the government affairs.

During this period, Fang Huan wrote another letter to criticize Hai Rui for fame and reputation, and the Nanjing Guanglu Temple Minister wrote a letter to meditate and filial, accusing Fang Huan of insulting his ministers for personal grievances.

Fang Huan was eloquent and wrote a letter to scold meditation and filial piety. Then Gu Yuncheng, who was like his brother Gu Xiancheng, and Peng Zungu, who was also a new Jinshi in Beijing, and all Shouxians wrote a letter to criticize Fang Huan.

Fang Huan fought against Gu Yuncheng with one against three. As for the emperor's remarks about Gu Yuncheng talking nonsense in the palace examination, he was worried that he had no place to deal with him. This time, he thought that Gu Yuncheng and the others reported the matter beyond the level and directly seized the three of them.

Gu Yuncheng was dismissed from office for success, but because of this, the two brothers Gu Xiancheng and Gu Yuncheng had a higher reputation.

Fang Huan thought he was proud, but he gave the clerk Zhang Dingsi and Chen Ye wrote a letter to criticize Hai Rui for defending him. The emperor finally demoted Fang Huan.

Lin Yanchao did not come forward from beginning to end in this matter, and he let the court scold him very much, nor did he write an article "Ten Years of Trees, Hundred Years of Trees" as he did before to protect Hai Rui.

In May, Li Zhi and Jiangdongzhi were sent to a letter to accuse Shen Shixing of improper selection of land in the Shou Palace and found stones.

The emperor thought that the three of them were too good to find trouble. At this time, Wang Xijue wrote a letter to accuse Li Zhi and the other two, saying that the three of them were self-restrained and could not be satisfied. He also attached himself to a party like Zhao Yongxian, which had no character except for suggestions.

These people took advantage of the best people and took advantage of the opportunity to make suggestions. Once they were the ministers, they did not want to serve the country, and they thought about how to pick on others.

For example, Shen Shixing, Xu Guo, Yang Wei, like the prime minister and the Secretary of State, if you have any disagreement with your political views, you will write a letter to accuse me. What are you doing if such a person stays in the court?

As soon as Wang Xijue's memorial was released, Lin Yanchao was both happy and afraid. It was happy that Li Zhi and the other two had finished playing. It was really amazing that Wang Xijue killed someone with just one word.

As soon as Wang Xijue's memorial was released, it was like a charge sounding, and many officials impeached Li Zhi and the other two.

The second servant Xu Guo submitted a separate memorial to Zhao Yongxian, saying that the people who used to engage in power were today's powerful people, but today they have become subordinates. The past was a villain, but now they are a gentleman.

These gentlemen (Zhao Yongxian) are grateful. If they happen to one or two things, they will be self-conceived and call on people who are superficial and happy (Li Zhi and the other three) to fight against each other and do not act as personal to others. Their style cannot be long.

Zhang Jing also arranged Zhao Yongxian next to the emperor, and Li Zhi and others' faults. With the concerted efforts of the cabinet and the internal officials, the emperor finally issued an order to demote Li Zhi and the other three. Li Zhi was demoted to Suide as the governor of the state, and Li Zhi said he was sick and refused to go.

A month later, the former chief assistant Zhang Siwei died of anger at home, and the Ministry of Rites posthumously named Wen Yi.

Zhao Yongxian was changed to the Hanlin Academy in Nanjing and went to the Qinhuai River to exaggerate the turbidity and promote the truth.
