In the Hanlin Academy, it is quiet and distant.

This is the only place in the various yamen in the capital that can calm down and continue to study.

In the quiet Hanyuan, there are only a few towering cypress trees in the empty courtyard rustling with the wind.

Xu Xianqing, a cadet of the school, looked at the cypress tree with his hands behind his back, and his expression was no longer so peaceful. At this time, he said quietly, the tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not stop.

After saying this, Xu Xianqing smiled bitterly, closed his eyes and remained silent for a moment, then turned around and said to Lin Yanchao who handed him the official documents, "Zonghai, do you know what I meant just now?"

Lin Yanchao said: "Lin is stupid and I really don't know why Bachelor Guang sighed."

Xu Xianqing said calmly at this moment: "The wind in the court never stopped for a moment. I have been an official for twenty years. I have always been honest and self-righteous and cautious. I have never made friends with wealthy businessmen, powerful officials, but have had some contacts with fellow villagers and disciples. Over the past twenty years, Xu asked himself whether he would be better off in purity."

"But... but in just one day, since the news that I was an assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites, Xu became a squeezing official in the words of the officials, acquiring wealthy businessmen, accusing big businessmen, and usurping and lewd things, and Yin Yuan accepted bribes. The good reputation I had accumulated over the years finally ruined me. I was really ashamed to be with these people."

Lin Yanchao was disheartened and lazy when he heard Xu Xianqing's words.

Lin Yanchao didn't know what to comfort him, so he could only say: "Xu Zhengyuan, please be relieved. Such impeachment is nonsense. The emperor and Yuan Fu are still trusting about Xu Zhengyuan's daily behavior."

Xu Xianqing said with a little gratitude in his eyes: "Thank you Zonghai for your words. You can still comfort me at this time. When it comes to avoiding gains and losses, the eight winds cannot blow, Zonghai is really much more stable than me."

Lin Yanchao wanted to speak, but Xu Xianqing turned around and said, "No need to say more Zong Hai."

Now in front of the Quezuo Gate, it is already calm.

The morning sign was already hung in the room. The court discussion started from the third hour of Chen and Shi, and it had been so long.

Outside the Quezuo Gate, the cabinet, the six ministries, the Qing Temple, and dozens of subordinate officials all have important matters in the main temple and have to report to their respective ministries and halls, waiting for instructions and decisions. However, because the court discussion has not ended, they cannot disturb them, so they can only wait outside the Quezuo Gate, waiting for the news that the court discussion has ended.

But they didn't know that it was at this time and they had not yet chosen to be an official.

Under the Quezuo Gate of the Single Eaves Jiuji Hall, the officials listened to Shen Shixing's speech with awesome and respectful expressions.

After Shen Shixing finished speaking, Yang Wei, Minister of Personnel, continued: "What Yuan Fu said is very true. Those who are officials should be trembling, as if they were walking on thin ice, with the three words "clear, cautious and diligent". When our Ministry of Personnel selects officials, we should also be knowledgeable about virtue and righteousness, be cautious and clear, and be fair. Officials who are diligent and slackened are the choices for their responsibilities."

"This time, Mr. Lin cleared of the suspicion, and it is sufficient to prove that the officials elected by the Ministry of Personnel are still able to be appointed. As for Zhang Shen's reputation as a corrupt official and even blames officials, he should be severely punished and executed."

Zhang Shen, who was dragged away by two officials from afar, was shocked and cried, "Godfather saves my life, godfather, godfather!

Zhang Shen's voice was very sad, which made the officials outside the Quezuo Gate look over.

Zhang Jing's face turned blue and purple.

Wang Xijue came forward and said, "Yuanfu, Dali Temple needs to investigate this case strictly! Find out who will instruct me."

All the officials admired the Sanfu Wang Xijue for being so upright, and Zhang Jing dared to say that now.

Xiao Yu immediately came forward to defend Zhang Jing: "Mr. Wang, although Zhang Shen wrongly accused Mr. Lin, it was because of the conflict between the two. Perhaps the Zhen family and the Lin family became enemies. Maybe you shouted and killed like this. Is it because Xiang Zhuang danced his sword, and it was intended to Pei Gong?"

Shu Yinglong, Minister of Works, said: "Yes, Lin Yanshou committed the crime just now, and we all believe in Mr. Lin's innocence. Now that something happened to Zhang Shen, I shouldn't have said one thing and done another."

Wang Xijue wanted to say something else, and Shen Shixing came forward to interrupt and said, "Benfu has already said that today's court discussion is about promoting officials, not about trials. The matters for trials are Dali Temple. As for Eunuch Zhang, Benfu also believes in his innocence."

Zhang Jing smiled when he heard this, and he knew that Shen Shixing would not dare to deal with him.

Wang Xijue had to retreat when he heard this, and thought to himself that if I were the chief assistant, he would definitely destroy this condemnation.

Zhang Jing said proudly: "Thank you, Mr. Shen, for trusting us. In fact, with a piece of paper, it is impossible to say that Zhang Shen framed Mr. Lin. Our family will check this matter again. As for Mr. Lin, hum... I can only say that even if there is no such thing, he may not be innocent. He actually came up with a way to make a falsified. Is such a method done by a gentleman? "

Faced with Zhang Jing, Wang Xijue, Sun Piyang and others were all angry.

Shen Shixing suppressed it and said, "Although I have spent a lot of effort today, I almost turned this court discussion into a matter of trial, and I also worked for Eunuch Zhang to visit him in person, it was not futile. It was not an exaggeration to be cautious in the court's promotion of people. Therefore, this setback should be especially true for the selection of a minister of the Ministry of Rites. Now that the doubts have disappeared, please write down the official candidates on this post!"

Shen Shixing said to Zhang Jing: "Eunuch Zhang, it's better to wait until the result comes out and report to the emperor, so that he can explain the investigation of the three officials who are worthy of office."

Zhang Jing nodded and said, "Okay, our family is just sitting there."

After saying that, Zhang Jing walked to the chair and sat down casually and said, "My husband, let's say something that should not be said. We have to think clearly about the candidates. How can anyone know if there is a traitor who is a big traitor and loyal person? Mr. Wang, it's better to be a snack. If the wrong person is defeated, what will happen in the future? If something happens to happen in the future, it will be a problem. Long live our Dongchang investigates it. What will our family say then?"

Shao Zhonglu, the doctor of the Wenxuan Department, placed Kenren's stickers and pens on a case. When Zhang Jing said this, he was holding his hands in the hands of Yan Qing, the Minister of War.

But seeing Yan Qing push the case aside and said, "I can't write anymore, Shao Xuanlang will do it for him."

Shao Zhonglu bent down and approached: "Please give orders to Mr. Yan."

Yan Qing glanced at Zhang Jing and said, "I'm half buried, but I'm afraid I'm afraid of it. Zhang Taiyue was never so crazy back then. Lin Yanchao, right!"

Shao Zhonglu said in surprise: "Yes, is the youngest Zhanshi in the Zhanshi Mansion and the Bachelor of the Hanlin Academy a bachelor's degree?"

“That’s right.”

Zhang Jing's face was burning when he heard this, pressing the armrest of the Grand Master's chair and said, "You...you."

Shen Li, the Minister of Rites beside Yan Qing, also threw the pen and said, "I can't lift the pen after sitting for a day. Please write it for me, Lin Yanchao, right!"

At this moment, the blue veins on Zhang Jing's forehead burst out.

An official bent down to make a table. After Shao Zhonglu wrote it, he then came to Song Feng, the Minister of Revenue.

Song Feng smiled and said, "When something happens, please ask Eunuch Zhang to speak well for the emperor on behalf of our department. Lin Yanchao, right!"

"yes."

Shao Zhonglu was in front of Li Shida, the Minister of Justice of the Ministry of Justice. Li Shida said: "What I am most afraid of in my life is to be related, Lin Yanchao, Zheng."

The Zuodu Censor Wu Shilai sighed and said, "It seems that it is not okay to be inappropriate, Lin Yanchao, right."

Dali Temple Minister Sun Piyang shook his sleeves and said loudly: "Lin Yanchao, right!"

"Lin Yanchao, right!" Zhang Mengnan, the Tongzheng envoy, closed his eyes after he finished speaking.

Every sentence was like everyone stood up and swung their arms and slapped Zhang Jing. Seeing Zhang Jing's face turned red and almost bleeding, Wang Xijue stroked his beard and laughed: "Have fun, please feel free! Lin Yanchao, just!"

Xu Guo glanced at Shen Shixing and said, "Lin Yanchao, right!"

Shu Yinglong, the Minister of Works, wrote silently, and finally came to Shen Shixing's hands.

Shen Shixing said: "The Nan Guozijian priest Huang Fengxiang, he was the first to be a wine minister."

Zhang Jing couldn't help but stand up and said to Yang Wei: "When you can recommend officials, you should not whisper. Yang's Ministry of Personnel has just happened, what do you think?"

Yang Wei smiled and said, "Eunuch Zhang, you guys are whispering. They just pronounced the names of the officials who were elected. This move seems to be inappropriate, but it is pushed all the time, so I won't be the case."

"What a good Ministry of Personnel, our family will report this matter to the emperor in truth!"

Yang Wei nodded and said, "Please give me some advice!"

Zhang Jing left immediately after brushing his sleeves.

When the officials saw Zhang Jing's background, they couldn't help but smile, and several people even laughed.

The final recommendation was Lin Yanchao, and the accompanying recommendation was Huang Fengxiang. Yang Wei wrote the name of the candidate who was promoted to the question book and finally reported it. The following is waiting for the Emperor to use it.

In the evening, when Shen Shixing returned to the mansion, he learned that Lin Yanchao was waiting for him in the mansion.

After Shen Shixing changed his clothes, he met Lin Yanchao in the living room.

Lin Yanchao said straight to the point: "Mr., the student doesn't understand something."

"What don't you understand?"

"The students don't understand why the teacher let Zhang Jing go this time?"

Shen Shixing smiled and asked, "Why is Jiuqing pushing you as a ritual servant is not enough, and he still wants to bring down Zhang Jing?"

Lin Yanchao said: "The students have worked so much trouble, not just to clear the suspicion. This time, Zhang Jing not only planned to the students, but also planned to the teacher and Shen Li's Ministry. If only one Zhang Shen was dealt with, how could the teacher take this breath?"

Shen Shixing smiled and bowed to the north, saying, "It is not up to me to bring down Zhang Jing, but from the emperor. As for the fact that he can't swallow this, it depends on you."

"The student is stupid, so please ask the teacher to make it clear."

Shen Shixing said: "It is not difficult to ask Zhang Shen to identify Zhang Jing, but what after the identification is? How to balance the court?"

Lin Yanchao suddenly said when he heard this: "Students understand, the students only saw Zhang Jing but not the emperor."

Shen Shixing said: "You can only not sit in my position, and you will understand in the future. But I would like to ask you, where does the great power come from as the prime minister?"

"Isn't it given by the Lord?" Lin Yanchao asked.

Shen Shixing smiled and said, "This is wrong. The prime minister was given by the emperor, but the authority was given by all officials. If I am the prime minister, but no one of the six ministers can be transferred, then what's the use? It is necessary to know that power lies in the lower part, not in the upper part."
