Just as Lin Yanchao was about to walk out of Wenyuan Pavilion, he suddenly stopped and said, "Mr., the student has another secret report."

Shen Shixing asked, "What's the matter?"

Lin Yanchao said: "It's about Zhang Jing..."

After saying that, Lin Yanchao took out a letter from his sleeve and presented it to him. This letter was exactly the handle of Zhang Jingzhi.

Shen Shixing opened the letter and asked, "Is this matter serious?"

Lin Yanchao said: "It is true that I have protected all the people from these three families, and they are all witnesses and physical evidence. As long as the news is leaked, Zhang Jing will die without a place to be buried."

Shen Shixing put the letter on the case and said, "This credit is appropriate and can reverse the current situation. If it is not appropriate, it will be a hot potato. If you force it to the point, Zhang Jing will be anxious. Why should you give it to me? You also have a handle in Zhang Jing's hands."

Lin Yanchao said: "Zhang Jing made the inner court chaotic. If this continues, there will be another Wang Zhen and Liu Jin in the future. Such a person will either be mastered by his mentor or must be eliminated. Therefore, the students think that this handle is more useful in keeping it in the hands of his mentor than in the hands of his students."

Speaking of this, Shen Shixing nodded, but his face was still very cautious.

Lin Yanchao said again: "But the students thought that the teacher was not in a hurry to play this card? Zhang Jing went to the inner court, and the person who replaced it might not listen to his teacher. Instead of doing this, it would be better to use this matter to threaten Zhang Jing and make him bow down and surrender. This is the best strategy."

"For example, this time, the Jing army was abolished, and Zhang Jing repeatedly blocked it, and secretly asked the censor to impeach the students, wanting to block the matter. As long as the mentor took out this handle, Zhang Jing would definitely be obedient and dare not act rashly."

A few days later, the Qianqing Palace on a snowy night.

The four little eunuchs in front were holding the lamp, while Zhang Cheng and Zhang Jing walked in the corridor in the palace.

The snow on the road accumulated several inches, and in the deep palace where the night was quiet, the sound of boots rustling.

"After my godfather left, you and our family are left in the palace. It's strange that they are lonely." Zhang Jing sighed.

Zhang Cheng said: "I heard that you have found another pair of food in the palace, so why not talk about the word loneliness."

Zhang Jing smiled bitterly and said, "So what about food? It's just to relieve boredom. There are only three thousand Guangshas and only six feet of sleep at night. We eunuchs are rootless people. They go wherever they come from and can't keep any thoughts in the world. In the past, I always thought that my godfather was too pedantic and often taught us how to do more good deeds on weekdays and accumulate some good deeds for the next life. At that time, I always felt that I couldn't listen. Now that my godfather has gone, I finally understood his painstaking efforts, but it's a bit too late."

Zhang Cheng stopped and walked: "But my godfather died because of you."

Zhang Jing said: "You told me this? Godfather is unable to think about it himself, and no one can force him."

Zhang Cheng shook his head and shook the snow on his cloak, saying, "Tell me, it's so late, why are you here to find me?"

Zhang Jing sighed and said, "To be honest, I have a handle and I am taken away."

"Who is it? You are the governor of the East Factory. It would be fine if you don't take the blame for someone. Who dares to take the control of you?"

"It is Lin Yanchao, a current lecturer at the Hanlin Academy."

"Lin Sanyuan? With your current status, even if you have a handle, Lin Sanyuan can't beat you up."

Zhang Jing said: "I'm not afraid of Lin Sanyuan, but he can give this handle to Shen Shi."

Zhang Cheng's expression changed suddenly, but he saw that Zhang Jing was indeed scared now. He was never afraid in front of him. Zhang Cheng pondered for a moment and then asked, "What are you going to do?"

Zhang Jing said: "I am also wary of Shen Shixing and Lin Yanchao's dealing with me. Shen Shixing also has my confidants around him. He asked for a few words. This time, His Majesty was exempted from court for several months, and Dali was inevitably a little lost. Lin Sanyuan kept persuading Shen Shixing to come forward and take over the government and become a promising prime minister."

"But Shen Shixing didn't have the courage. This time, Lin Sanyuan encouraged Shen Shixing to reveal it secretly. My people eavesdropped in Wenyuan Pavilion and found out that the two had different opinions."

“So what?”

Zhang Jing sneered: "Do you think Shen Shixing doesn't want to do this beautifully? That's because this person is cautious by nature. He may not want to be a prime minister, but he does not have the ability."

"So you plan to join Shen Shixing?"

Zhang Jing nodded and said, "You really know me. As long as we are on the emperor's side, our power is not as good as Zhang Taiyue back then, but it is not far from that."

"You are also a dignified factory supervisor, how could you want to do something for him?"

Zhang Jing said: "The civil servants are very dissatisfied with me at the moment. I have the right to be the leader of Shen Shixing. As long as he can suppress those civil servants for me, what else can I be afraid of? Everyone can get what they need, and it will be a beat."

"As for face, that's fine. We eunuchs are not civil officials, so why should we make a reputation? There is no saying, "If you don't come, I will go to the mountain."

Zhang Cheng said: "But since Feng Shuanglin, Your Majesty hates the collusion between the cabinet and the ministers the most!"

Zhang Jing smiled and said, "As long as you don't say it, there will be no second person to tell His Majesty."

Zhang Cheng said angrily: "That's not necessarily the case. I won't make a lie for you."

Zhang Jing knelt in the snow in the corridor and cried, "Godfather is only two of us sons. You are the most filial to your godfather on weekdays. I would like to ask you to save me for the sake of my godfather. This time, I really have no second way to go."

"If I don't defect to Shen Shixing, I will die."

Zhang Cheng wanted to leave and ignored him, but saw Zhang Jing grabbing his trouser legs tightly. A few eunuchs in front of him watched the scene and quickly turned their heads to stand facing the red wall in the corridor.

One person hesitated a little, and the other cursed: "Do you want to die?"

Zhang Cheng sighed for a while: "Okay, I won't say it, but if there is a second person who says it's not my business."

Zhang Jing was overjoyed and kowtowed, "Thank you, thank you, you are my reborn parents, and you will be my godfather from now on."

Zhang Cheng shook his head and left.

Zhang Jing knelt in the snow for a while, and saw Zhang Cheng walking far behind and getting up from the snow, and laughed a few times and finally left.

After the first month of the fifteenth year of Wanli, the emperor's resignation to court reached an outrageous level.

All officials in the court complained.

But at this time, Lin Yanchao had already contacted eight censors including Zhong Yuzheng, Lin Cai, and Yang Huo, and were preparing to submit a memorial to the abolition of the Jingjun.

The joint letter from officials is very powerful. This is a thunder strike. I am not sure if anyone dares to do so.

Now everything is ready, but the east wind is not available.

It was on this day that Fang Congzhe hurried to the Hanyuan and said to Lin Yanchao: "The scholar is not good. The Minister of Works of Nanjing Shu Yinglong wrote a memorial to the emperor today, asking the court to abolish the Jing army!"

As soon as this statement came out, Lin Yanchao and his gangsters who were discussing the memorial tomorrow were all disgusted.

The matter of abolishing the Jing army is almost a short time to take action.

But now someone is rushing to write a memorial before them.

What is this like?

Make wedding dresses for others.

Zhong Yuzheng and others were all disappointed. They had been preparing for this matter for a long time, but now they are the first to take the lead.

But Lin Yanchao said, "What a Zhang Jing!"

Everyone didn't know.

It turned out that Shu Yinglong was the father of editor Shu Hongzhi. He was moved to the Minister of Works of Nanjing two months ago and became a second-rank senior official.

This is Zhang Jing plotting against himself.

Lin Yanchao made a quick decision: "Prepare the car and enter the palace immediately."

Soon, Lin Yanchao met Shen Shixing in the Wenyuan Pavilion duty room.

Seeing that Lin Yanchao was handling official business, Shen Shixing said without raising his head, "You are here to submit a memorial for the Secretary of the Ministry of Works of Nanjing, Shu Yinglong?"

Lin Yanchao nodded and said, "Mr., this must be Zhang Jing's idea, he wants..."

Shen Shixing stopped writing and looked at Lin Yanchao and said, "I already know."

Lin Yanchao had turned from shock and anger to calm on the road. Losing the opportunity means that things were a foregone conclusion.

It’s useless to be angry at this time. It’s not that you are busy questioning, nor that you are making trouble.

Lin Yanchao said seriously: "Mr., the students think that as long as the matter of abolishing the Jingjun can be passed in front of the imperial court, it doesn't matter whether the students personally submit a memorial."

Shen Shixing put down his pen and stood up and left his seat and said, "You guessed it right. This time Zhang Jing targeted you. He knew that the matter of abolishing the Jing army was a foregone conclusion, and you were about to submit a memorial, so he instructed Shu Yinglong to take the lead and take the credit for himself."

"But I have to refuse to approve this memorial, because the emperor has issued an oral order to allow the reduction of 70,000 taels of bribe silver distributed to the provinces by the Ministry of Revenue, and also promised to reduce another 100,000 taels in three years. This condition is really beyond our original plan."

Lin Yanchao was both sad and happy, saying: "That's good, that's good, this is the blessing of the country and the blessing of the country. As long as the army can be dismissed and withdrawn the salary, what is the grievance of the students?"

Shen Shixing sighed, "No, this is my fault. If it weren't for your persistence, I wouldn't have dared to compete with the emperor for the 300,000 taels of silver. 300,000 taels a year, and ten years will be three million taels. The cost of the battle to pacify Myanmar the year before last was only two million taels."

"But you have won more than just these two million taels of taels for the court. If all the officials in the world are willing to take care of themselves like you and consider the country and the country, then even the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors will give you three points."

Lin Yanchao said: "My teacher is over-reputable."

This sentence is the truth. Lin Yanchao had already negotiated with Kedao, and in the end, some of the severance of the salary was also wanted to achieve unexpected and amazing results for his reputation, so he forced Shen Shixing to negotiate with the emperor.

But at this moment, Lin Yanchao had already put aside his gains and losses: "As long as it is beneficial to the country and the country, how can the students' trivial matters be compared with the world? It is not advisable to do so. The emperor has always been indecisive. If the emperor changes his intentions and takes back his will, he will regret it. The student begs his mentor to draw an order immediately to avoid long nights of dreams."

Shen Shixing nodded and said, "Just be open-minded."

Speaking of this, Lin Yanchao knew that this matter was a decisive point on the board and could no longer turn anything around. He immediately bowed to Shen Shixing and left Wenyuan Pavilion.

After leaving Wenyuan Pavilion, Lin Yanchao instantly understood the whole story.

Zhang Jing must have reached an agreement with Shen Shixing in advance. Yes, he handed over Zhang Jing's handle to Shen Shixing just to threaten Zhang Jing not to make trouble in the matter of abolishing the Jing army.

But he didn't expect that Zhang Jing was so decisive. Not only did he give up Jingjun, but he also turned directly to Shen Shixing.
