Zeng Tongheng was promoted to the Minister of War after Song Qian took office as Minister of Personnel.

As the Minister of War, the most important power is to have the right to recommend border generals and control all military generals in the world.

Zeng Tongheng knew that he was not from Shen Shixing's group. After taking office as Minister of War, he had been selecting military generals and did not dare to make arbitrary claims, for fear that he would be rejected by the cabinet for a while, and that he would lose face and be careless.

Today, Zeng Tonghenglai's cabinet also asked Shen Shixing to give him the right to choose a general.

With the support of the cabinet, he was the Minister of War. He still remembers that when his younger brother Zeng Qianheng was appointed as the censor, he proposed to re-train the Beijing camp and eliminate the military generals who could not serve. As soon as this proposal came out, public opinion in the capital was raging.

At that time, Zeng Tongheng was the Minister of Works and did not know about this. As a result, he went to court one day, he was blocked by hundreds of scoundrel soldiers. Zeng Tongheng, as the Minister of Works and was arrested by soldiers in his collar and robe and scolded him.

This incident made Zeng Tongheng deeply ashamed.

Seeing Zeng Tongheng mention Lin Yanchao, Shen Shi said, "Lin Zonghai has already retired and returned home. How can he ask again? There is no such reason in the court."

Zeng Tongheng said: "Yuan Fu, didn't Zeng know that Linbutang had resigned, but it was always not difficult to consult with state affairs. Besides, how many talents can be like Linbutang in the world? This time I went from my hometown in Jiangxi, passed through Lianghuai and headed north of Zhejiang. The officials I saw and heard on the road mentioned the top officials in the court. If there were no three people, they would definitely be named Linbutang!"

After hearing what Zeng Tongheng said, Shen Shixing must not speak, while Wang Jiaping was peeking at Shen Shixing's expression.

Xu Guo also said: "Yuan Fu, Linbutang is your student, so don't be able to be a virtuous person and not avoid kissing him."

Shen Shixing did not speak, but wrote a note after the case, and read it with everyone and said, "Please come in."

Soon Zhang Cheng entered and immediately said, "Several gentlemen, oh, there is also the Grand Sima here, I wonder what the discussion is going on?"

Shen Shixing said: "We have written a statement from Zhongyi, and asked Eunuch Zhang to read it."

Zhang Cheng took the note and smiled and said, "How dare our ink be ugly in front of the masters? It's just that the emperor asked us about an explanation. This article, "There are warnings in the northwest, Liaodong and the coastal areas. The most urgent thing is to ask the court to select virtuous people with talented adaptations."

"Who is capable of adapting? Who is virtuous? When the emperor asks, it's easy for us to answer."

Shen Shixing smiled and said, "Former Shaanxi Governor Li Wen, former soldiers and Taoist Tianle are all sapwood. In fact, as long as the emperor is simple, he is a virtuous person with adaptability!"

"The emperor's heart is simple," Zhang Cheng smacked his lips and nodded, "Our family understands."

It was dark at night in the capital, and the sound of horse hooves hit the cold stone path.

Shen Shixing returned to the prime minister's mansion under the escort of the feather cavalry. Shen Jiu, who was waiting in front of the mansion, came up to meet him.

Shin Shixing said: "You are back."

Shen Jiu said: "If you go back to the prime minister, you will come to see the prime minister without stopping as soon as you come back from your hometown. This time, the land you bought in Guangfu was all good fertile land. The land was kept by the wife for a while and asked the prime minister to take a look."

Shen Shixing nodded and said, "Okay, after I rested, I will count on these acres of thin fields to live."

Shen Jiu smiled and said, "There is heaven above and Suhang below. The master is from Suzhou and is born in blessing."

Shen Shixing smiled and walked to the study. There were several letters from outside governors. Shen Shixing looked at him one by one and asked Shen Jiu to reply.

At this time, Shen Shixing asked, "Is there a letter from Fujian?"

Shen Jiu smiled and said, "Last month, Linbutang asked someone to bring a letter of greeting to the prime minister, but nothing else was said in the letter."

Shen Shixing nodded and said, "He is really calm. Don't you know the movements in the court at all?"

Shin Jiu said: "I don't think he is in a hurry. With Linbutang's age, he is only thirty years old this year, and he can afford to wait or endure."

Shen Shixing said: "That's true, but Lin Zonghai's biggest problem is that he exposed his political responsibilities. If an official fails to do the position where he can give orders, how many people can do this?"

Shen Jiu said: "What the Prime Minister said is, the sooner he proposed the political position, the more he became the target of public criticism. Others will know what you are thinking and what you will do in the future. Even Zhang Jiangling did not dare to do this back then. But it depends on what Linbutang wants? If he is an official, it will not be difficult for him to join the cabinet and become the prime minister in the future. If he promotes his proposal, it will be as difficult as he ascends to heaven!"

Shen Shixing nodded and said, "I have told him this very clearly. In fact, this court is a galloping carriage, and the horse has gone long ago. Even if you have a thousand pounds of strength on your arms, it is okay to hold one and the other, but how can you stop? If you really want to stop, the car will overturn!"

At this time, the outside world reported: "Mr. Zhu, the Minister of Rites, is about to arrive at the mansion."

Shen Shixing paused, and Shen Jiu said, "Zhu Zongbo must be asking for trouble."

Shen Shixing said, "Zhu Shanyin is only Dingyouju, but who will take over the position of Minister of Rites? If Lin Zonghai is in Beijing, there is a good opportunity in front of him. Even if he does not have enough qualifications, I can at least compete for him. He insists on resigning from his post and returning home, so now he has to take advantage of others."

Speaking of this, Shen Shixing paused and said, "If there is any, I don't know what to say. It would be fine if Lin Zonghai changed his mind before I gave me a break, otherwise I would be really hard for him to come back. Zonghai, if he had a clear view of the fire, wouldn't be unaware that the current situation in the court is gradually unfavorable to me."

Shen Jiu was very upset when he heard this: "The Prime Minister has been in good order for eight years in the court, but the emperor and the censors have been repeatedly picky. How can this be true? I really hope that the Prime Minister will leave now and see what chaos will be in the future without the Prime Minister reconciling yin and yang."

Shen Shixing said: "The emperor has not been in power for many years, so how can I be a manager now? But you are right. Zhang Juzheng has been in charge of the government for ten years, and the good ones have become bad. I have been in the country for eight years. If I have been careful and careful, how to figure out the best intentions, the emperor has long been tired. Instead, the saints are in the king Taicang who has repeatedly refused to give up the saint's orders. I have found all the substitutes for me."

Shen Jiu said: "Wang Taicang is arrogant and arrogant because he is afraid that he will not convince the officials below. Such talents are considered famous officials, but he is afraid that he will not be able to sit steadily if he is the prime minister."

Shen Shixing smiled and said, "But Wang Taicang doesn't form a clique for personal gain. In short, it's the person you choose. It's good before it's useless. The filial son by the bed is always scolded by his parents the most. It's good to see people from afar, but it's bad to use them nearby. It's stinking and fragrant. Before Lin Yanchao has a rift with the emperor, it's wise to take a step back. So this time I asked you to go back to your hometown to buy land, which is also to prepare for the future resignation."

At this time, Shen Jiu said, "By the way, Prime Minister, I almost forgot something. I just heard outside the palace that a central envoy was promoted to the former Hanlin Academy editor Sun Chengzong as a lecturer."

Shen Shixing's eyes frightened, and the purpose of using people in the central government really violated the majesty of his chief minister.

When the emperor ordered Li Zhi and others to use it, Yang Wei, the Minister of Personnel, was furious, but now... the current Minister of Personnel, Song Feng, was helped by the emperor with one hand, and he had just taken office, so he didn't dare to say anything.

However, Song Feng did not speak, so he was not easy to speak in Shen Shixing.

The emperor's move is just a skill.

Shen Jiudao: "Sun Chengzong is a student of Linbutang. Does Your Majesty have the intention to promote Sun Chengzong to use his teacher in the future?"

Shen Shixingdao: "It's hard to say."

On a summer night in June, the cool breeze passes through the courtyard and the leaves rustle.

Lin Yanchao and his family were enjoying the cool under the pavilion at home.

"Master, Master Qiu has heard from the capital that after Zhu Geng Ding You, the former Minister of Rites, was promoted from Yu Shenxing, the former left minister of the Ministry of Rites, to the Minister of Rites."

Lin Yanchao was lying on the cold chair at home, covering his face with a big round palm fan. When he heard Chen Jichuan report to him that Yu Shenxing took over as Minister of Rites, Lin Yanchao moved his hand slightly, and then his head behind the big palm fan slightly pointed to him to know.

Seeing this, Chen Jichuan stepped down, and Lin Qianqian, who was sitting on a bamboo chair, was wearing a thin shirt and hugging her second son to cool off, and also heard the news.

Lin Qianqian said with a few sourness in her mouth: "My husband, isn't you the Yu Shenxing recommended to Shen Xiang? Why are you now the Shangshu?"

Hearing this, Lin Yanchao nodded softly, returned to his calmness, and then continued to chirp around him.

Lin Qianqian glanced at Lin Yong who was playing with cousin Jingkun, then took his eyes back and said angrily to Lin Yanchao: "My husband, why are you ignoring me?"

After saying that, Lin Qianqian picked up the big palm-leaf fan that Lin Yanchao covered his face with one hand.

Lin Yanchao's nap was immediately interrupted.

Lin Yanchao stood up slightly from the cold chair, shook his head and said, "It's really hard to raise villains and women."

Lin Qianqian said angrily: "Why do you say that to your wife and mine?"

Lin Yanchao said helplessly: "What else can I say? When I was an official in the past, you blamed me for being busy with documentary matters and didn't have time to accompany you and our son. Now, I'm fine. I've retired for more than a year and we live a life of an ordinary couple. You heard that others were promoted, but your mouth was sore. I had to get up and explain to you, is it difficult to raise a villain and a woman?"

Lin Qianqian was embarrassed to smile when she heard this, and then said in a lingering voice: "We couple have been so many years, why do you still care about these things with me? It's just... It's just that Yubutang, which used to be on par with the same side, but now it's on you, so I'll just say it."

Lin Yanchao said: "Brother Keyuan, he is a Jinshi in the second year of Longqing. His original name is above me. Besides, he is my friend. He can hold a high position today, so I should be happy for him."

Lin Yanchao said this, and then he thought to himself that Yu Shenxing was appointed as the second rank and served as the Minister of Rites. Is it touched his heart that he had no touch at all?

If he was still in the capital at this moment, maybe this position would be his own now. He was less than thirty years old and had a great position, and there were only a few people in ancient and modern times.
