Zhao Nanxing is currently the doctor of the Ministry of Personnel Examination and Testimonials, and Gu Xiancheng is the head of the Ministry of Personnel Examination and Testimonials.

Although one is just a fifth-rank official and the other is a sixth-rank official, they are all real officials.

Especially Zhao Nanxing, the Kaogongsi is the key department of the Ministry of Personnel after the Wenxuan Department.

Zhao Nanxing's actual status in the court is not even inferior to that of Lin Yanchao, the current Shujishi teacher.

The Shujishi teacher is looking at the future, and the power of the examination and merits can be realized at any time. From this point of view, Lin Yanchao's power is inferior to Zhao Nanxing.

Lin Yanchao's party members often ask these two colleagues for their promotion operations.

However, Lin Yanchao understood that Gu Xiancheng and Zhao Nanxing's political views were quite different from his own.

Gu Xiancheng and Zhao Nanxing were more inclined to discuss the Qing Dynasty in the court, while Lin Yanchao’s layout was in the emperor, the cabinet, and the Hanlin Academy. From this point of view, his position was on the side of the government.

The reason why Gu Xiancheng did not jump out and stand in Zhao Yongxian and Li Zhi and the others was because he was also a disciple of Shen Shixing. If there was no such relationship, Gu Xiancheng would probably have a lot of opinions about Shen Shixing.

Lin Yanchao is in the inner dynasty and Gu Xiancheng is in the outer dynasty. In the long run, should the two sides be opposed or should they borrow from each other?

In other words, it is really hard to say whether everyone will be enemies or friends in the future.

This point starts with the Donglin Party. What is the Donglin Party?

Franchise or political party? Crown Princess? Qingliu party?

Or is it a political group that relies on the literati and officials in Jiangnan? It is a big landlord and big merchants who bring salt to the interests of salt?

These are actually right or not.

Because the civil servant group generally brings salt to the interest groups of merchants and landlords, not only the Donglin Party.

To be precise, the Donglin Party should be more like the "opposition party".

For example, the three big bosses and eight gentlemen were all rejected by the emperor. After being expelled from the cabinet, they went to the people to give lectures, held clear discussions, discussed the temple in the world, and criticized the current affairs.

This is what Gu Xiancheng said, "Family affairs, state affairs, and the world are concerned about everything."

It was also what Gu Xiancheng, Gu Yuncheng, and Xue Fu's grandfather, Xue Yingqin, said, "In ancient times, there were no officials to advise the public, and to submit them to the people of the world, and to let the people of the world say it. This is the prosperity."

The so-called opposition parties have several characteristics: the imperial party and the ruling party support them, such as mining taxes, national foundations, and officials interfere in politics.

History tells us that when the ruling party was in power, there were many meanings, but when the opposition party came to power, the people found that everyone was like the same bird, and even worse.

Finally, the party is the same and the differences, and labels every official in the court.

But no matter what, as long as the Donglin Party has put forward a banner, all officials who are not valued by the court and who may have disagreements gathered under their command. After joining this group, their power will become increasingly greater.

So the Donglin Party is very powerful among scholars and foreign officials, but what are they lacking?

The final goal of any opposition party is to become the ruling party.

In the Ming Dynasty, if you want to become the ruling party, there are two conditions: one is the trust of the emperor, and the other is the entry into the cabinet.

But it is obvious that the emperors today do not like Gu Xiancheng and others, otherwise they would not have become opposition parties. Therefore, the Donglin Party believes that this emperor is not good, so we will support the crown prince instead.

Then there is the cabinet.

Wang Xijue and Donglin Dang fought against each other, and they would not let you come back at home. For details, please refer to Li Sancai’s sales teacher.

Another time, the emperor elected a Grand Secretary of the Cabinet, with three candidates from Jinjiang, namely Yang Daobin, Huang Fengxiang, and Li Tingji.

The ruler supported Yang Daobin, Li Tingji, and the Donglin Party supported Huang Fengxiang. In the end, Huang Fengxiang was defeated. Yang Daobin and Li Tingji were selected, but the emperor ordered Li Tingji.

As a result, the Donglin Party took turns to submit memorials to impeach Li Tingji, and finally made Li Tingji afraid to take office, so he was forced to write 123 resignation memorials. In order to express his lack of idea of ​​becoming a cabinet master, Li Tingji moved to the temple for five years and was known as the Temple Master.

Another thing is that the Donglin Party pushed Li Sancai into the cabinet, which caused a major case of Beijing Procuratorate.

It was not until the Ming Guangzong came to power that the Donglin Party turned over and became the ruling party.

Eunuch Wei came to power and created a 108 general of the Donglin Party, and then referred to the Yuanyou Party Monument in the Northern Song Dynasty.

I found that the country was being tossed back and forth like this and was ruined.

They always think that if one party completely defeats the other party, they will win.

But in terms of its original intention, it cannot be what Gu Xiancheng wanted when he gave lectures on Donglin.

So Lin Yanchao didn't know what the relationship between Lin Yanchao, Gu Xiancheng and Zhao Nanxing will go. But now it's better to get involved in this matter, and the credit for this matter cannot be distributed to them.

The three of them said heartfelt words and talked until midnight before Zhao left.

Before leaving, Lin Yanchao sent Gu Xiancheng and Zhao Nanxing outside the door.

It was already snowing at this time.

It was extremely dark on all sides, and the wind and snow were so fierce.

Lin Yanchao personally gave Gu Xiancheng the lamp, and snow came towards him and hit the wind lamp.

Gu Xiancheng said: "Zong Hai, it's late at night and it's snowing heavily, so don't send it to you."

Lin Yanchao said: "It is because it is late at night that it is snowing heavily, so how can I rest assured if I don't give it away?"

After saying that, Lin Yanchao took a fox fur from Zhan Ming, criticized it on Gu Xiancheng and said, "When I was talking to Brother Nian just now, I saw that Brother Nian had a lot of coughs. I was afraid that the disease at the beginning of the year had not yet recovered, so I had nothing else to give it to Brother Nian."

Gu Xiancheng's face was a little cold by the cold air, and he did not refuse Lin Yanchao's gift. However, he said: "Zonghai, you are in the inner court and I am in the outer court. Although the responsibility is different, the determination to support the country and take the people of the world as their own responsibility is ordinary. If you let go of the matter of abolishing the Jing army, if you punish me one day, Mengbai and I will fight for our lives and will also ensure that you are fine."

As he said that, Gu Xiancheng held Lin Yanchao's hands hard.

Lin Yanchao held Gu Xiancheng's palm and felt hot. At this moment, he couldn't help but sigh. Gu Xiancheng's words were much more heartfelt than what he said just now.

Gu Xiancheng's eyes were firm, and Zhao Nanxing, on the side, also had a look like Gu Xiancheng, but he was silent and unacceptable to talking too much.

At this time, the bell rang outside the door, and Zhao Nanxing glanced at the outsider and said, "Uncle, the carriage is here, Zong Hai will say goodbye first!"

Gu Xiancheng withdrew his hand and looked at Feng Xue and said, "It's a pity that there is no wine in his hand, otherwise this situation would bring me drunk together. I can only make the best use of He Zong Haima here to achieve success."

After saying that, Gu Xiancheng smiled casually and left with great strides.

Lin Yanchao kept sending the two to the steps, and then bowed to Gu Xiancheng and Zhao Nanxing.

Gu Xiancheng and Zhao Nanxing also bowed solemnly before getting in the car and leaving.

Chen Jichuan, Zhan Ming and others had already rushed to cover Lin Yanchao's umbrella, but Lin Yanchao was still standing in the snow watching the carriage leave.

December of the winter of the 14th year of Wanli.

There is an undercurrent for the court.

Lin Yanchao was walking in Lin's private house.

Sitting in the study were Fang Congzhe, Yu Yuli, Lin Cai, Zhong Yuzheng, and Guo Zheng.

Zhong Yu said righteously: "Bachelor, two years ago, Dong Ji, the head of the Guangxi Department of the Ministry of Justice, Sun Shizhen, the chief of the Nanjing Department of Justice, Tian Yilin, the censor Guo Weixian, the Nanjing Department of the Nanjing Department of the People's Republic of China, and Pan Weiyue, the Jiangxi Department of the People's Republic of China, risked his life to submit a memorial that the inner court was clean and strict, gathered three thousand people for no reason, and tried it with a weapon. The minister was actually worried about the emperor's safety."

"This memorial was furious, and then Dong Ji was demoted to the Ministry of State of Wanquan, and the rest were punished. The emperor also issued an order to submit memorials to those who abolish the internal warriors. This time, if we want to repeat the same mistake, we contacted several officials from the Department of Science and Technology, who said that even if we have the will, they would be powerless."

Lin Yanchao said: "We submit a memorial to put life and death aside. As for those who hesitate, it's better not to use it."

Lin Cai, the director of the Engineering Department, said at this time: "But a bachelor's degree, there are countless memorials from the court every year, but most of them are just news. If you stay at the school, you can really implement it, but you will not be refuted. Now that you are admonishing again, and the sage intention is unpredictable, how much more will we win than Dong Ji and the others back then?"

Lin Yanchao said: "Yes, the main thing to lay off the internal affairs is to be the best intentions, so to impress the emperor, there must be some compromise. In order to establish the Jing army, the inner court took 200,000 yuan from the Ministry of Revenue every year, and then went to Taipu Temple. The Ministry of Revenue took more than 70,000 taels of silver for grains. So after I planned to abolish the Jing army, the money would still be distributed to the inner court every year by the Ministry of Revenue."

Lin Yanchao finished speaking.

Guo Zhengyu's expression changed: "Masters are both laying off troops and laying off money. At that time, the emperor issued a strict order to obtain silver for straw and silver. However, the Ministry of Revenue did not have this expense and could only pay it to the provinces."

"Last year, the Ministry of Revenue urged Shandong to pay more than 14,000 taels of silver for carving horses. At that time, Shandong's Governor Li Fu wrote a letter to accuse the Minister of Revenue Wang Lin of the Ministry of Revenue for being abused. Wang Lin was in a dilemma and could only reduce 7,800 taels, but it was still dissatisfied with the officials and people in Shandong. Please think twice about this move."

Lin Yanchao said: "If we do not give in to this matter, you can guarantee that the emperor will allow it, and then will not hold us accountable for the reprimand of the internal swearing again?"

In a word from Lin Yanchao, everyone was silent. The essence of politics lies in the exchange of interests and mutual compromise. Guo Zhengyu still doesn’t understand it very well, which is also Qingliu’s usual thinking.

Everyone still admires the memorials that put life and death aside, and whether they can succeed or not is different.

Lin Yanchao said: "If you want to stop the internal exercise, the nearly 300,000 taels of silver will be cut off. You know your Majesty's character, will Your Majesty agree? We are now considering the abolition of internal exercises as the top priority. As for other priorities, everyone needs to have a count in their hearts. Do you have any objections?"

Everyone said in unison: "Everything will be done according to the orders of the scholars."

After Guo Zhengyu and Fang Congzhe left for something, Zhong Yuzheng, Lin Cai and Yu Yuli were left behind.

Zhong Yu was asking, "But if this matter is reported, will the Kedao refute? Will the Censor accuse us of the charming emperor about this?"

Lin Yanchao nodded and said, "This is also the reason I want you to stay. Who of you and the ministers of Qi Shichen will be kind to the ministers?"

Zhong Yu said righteously: "We and Qi Dujian are in the Liuke Gang, and we have daily contacts in official affairs, but in terms of personal relationships, Brother Lin is more deeply involved."

Lin Yanchao looked at Lin Cai and nodded slightly.

Lin Yanchao said: "Qi Shichen is the leader of the Tai minister. If you want to deal with Yan Dao, this matter must be handled by him. What benefits can we give him, or what he needs?"

Lin Cai said: "Qi Dujian wants to sponsor the current subordinate, the Left Chief of the Left Chief of the Office, Yang Tingxiang, replaced him as the next Chief of the Office, and his wife and brother committed the case and are now detained in the Ministry of Justice."

Lin Yanchao looked at Yu Yuli, the head of the Ministry of Justice, and asked, "What is the case?"

Yu Yuli said, "Let me go back to the department to check it out."

Lin Yanchao nodded and said, "Go to the Ministry of Justice quickly to see if the case is in harmony!"

Yu Yuli said that he would leave.

Lin Yanchao said to Lin Cai again: "Tomorrow, Qi Shichen will make an appointment to Dong Pavilion."

Lin Yanchao looked at Zhong Yuzheng again and asked, "The Ministry of Revenue Department has the right to refute. The 300,000 taels of silver will be put into the emperor's bag. It would be impossible without him nodding. You will also make an appointment with him to the East Pavilion tomorrow."
