Lin Yanchao knew that after returning to Beijing this time, Chen Ju helped him twice. Once, Xu Guo had made a report in front of the emperor, he reminded him privately, and another time, Tang Xianzu was arrested, and he informed him of the news and reported to the emperor that Concubine Zheng had told Zhang Cheng that it was not good for him.

Regarding Le Xinlu and Tang Xianzu was arrested, Lin Yanchao guessed that someone must have brought the crime of "Flying Words" in Beijing to himself. This matter will directly affect the emperor's view of himself.

So Chen Ju protected himself twice in a row and maintained the emperor's trust.

This incident made Lin Yanchao sigh how necessary it was for the inner court to have a strong support.

Speaking of this, Lin Yanchao was a little envious of Wang Jiaping. After Wang Jiaping became the chief minister, he told him, "I dare not seek knowledge from the eunuch palace concubines inside, and I dare not offend the wise and the wise and the doctors outside." This clearly showed his unreliable attitude.

Wang Jiaping is so timid as an official, but in fact he is also a first-class political wisdom. He plays whatever card he has. Wang Jiaping treats the official position as simple as he wants. He will not make great achievements or make great mistakes. He will be able to escape unscathed in the future.

But Lin Yanchao is not Wang Jiaping, he is trying to achieve his achievements.

Therefore, Chen Ju's attitude is very important to Lin Yanchao.

But Chen Ju didn't accept his gifts, which really made Lin Yanchao very uneasy.

What exactly was he asking for? When he was searching Zhang Jing's house, he didn't even look at Yu Jinyin. Instead, Luo Sigong, the commander of the Jinyiwei, said that he liked antique calligraphy and paintings. So when Chen Ju helped him for the first time, Lin Yanchao also tried to send it to it, but Chen Ju did not accept it.

But this time it was different. This time I was more busy than the last time. When the two times were added together, Lin Yanchao was not sure that he could make up for it, so it was better to find out what Chen Ju meant.

Lin Yanchao immediately asked Chen Jichuan about Chen Ju's residence and decided to go there in person.

Chen Jichuan was shocked when he learned about this. With Lin Yanchao's current status, it was very illegitimate to go to see a eunuch. Although Chen Ju is a eunuch at the Sili Supervisor, if he loses his identity, he will lose his identity.

Officials make friends with officials is one of the most despicable behaviors among scholars.

"Master, do you really want to surrender to the nobles and visit Chen Ju?"

Lin Yanchao smiled and said, "Why can't it work?"

Chen Jichuan said: "Since the master has made up his mind, the villain will immediately prepare the carriage."

Lin Yanchao nodded and asked Chen Jichuan to make arrangements.

After a while, Chen Jichuan took Lin Yanchao to the backyard. It turned out that Chen Jichuan prepared an ordinary carriage for Lin Yanchao. Chen Jichuan said, "Master, let me drive you alone, so that you can hide it from others."

Seeing Chen Jichuan's arrangements and even admired them, Lin Yanchao immediately said, "I'm working hard."

So Lin Yanchao got on the carriage and went out with Chen Jichuan.

When I walked to the streets of Beijing Central, I obviously felt that I was not as prosperous as before. Because there have been epidemics in Beijing Central recently, there were many fewer people.

The streets were a little empty, and Lin Yanchao sat in the sedan chair and felt the difficulty of people's livelihood.

The famine in northern Zhili last year was alleviated due to the cultivation of sweet potatoes and corn, but this year there was another epidemic in Beijing. The happiness index of people in this era is really not very high.

Lin Yanchao came to Chen Ju's residence and named Zhongguantun.

Lin Yanchao heard that the name sounded familiar, but he didn't expect Chen Ju to live in this place.

Zhongguantun is not as famous as later generations. It turned out to be the place where eunuchs buried their bones in the palace. Eunuchs are also called Zhongguan, and over time they have been called this place name.

There are many temples nearby, most of which are the eunuchs in the palace who are old and unable to do anything, so they live in these temples for their elderly care and also have to visit the graves of the deceased eunuchs.

But as far as Lin Yanchao knows, this is because the eunuchs in the palace have no place to go and retire here. They still took over hundreds of godsons like Zhang Jing.

There are many people who flatter like Chen Ju, who should not come to live here. Those who live here are all miserable eunuchs, who support each other when they are old and find this place.

As the carriage passed by, Lin Yanchao looked through the curtain, but saw the old man with empty eyes sitting aside. These people had no money to support their old age, and they could not help but have a miserable evening scene. In the end, they had to return to their roots.

Lin Yanchao shook his head, then Chen Jichuan said, "The master is here," and the carriage stopped.

Lin Yanchao got off the carriage and was shocked when he saw Chen Ju's residence.

He has seen how brilliant the mansion of Feng Bao and Zhang Jing were. It is really hard to believe that this place is located at a level like Chen Ju.

But even so, Lin Yanchao still ordered Chen Jichuan to bring his post to serve.

This post is also very particular. According to Wang Shizhen's rumors, when Zhang Juzheng posted a post to Feng Bao, he claimed to be a late child. This matter is said to be too exaggerated and no one dares to believe it.

But generally speaking, it is common for the Cabinet Grand Secretary to submit to eunuchs and call each other a servant.

Lin Yanchao also called himself a waiter when he posted a post to Chen Ju.

The one who held the door of Chen Ju's mansion was just a little eunuch. He took the post and looked at it and said, "You wait," and then went inside to report.

After a while, the door opened, but saw that Chen Ju went out to greet him in person.

"The Lord of the Communist Party has been condemned to this point, and I really don't dare to take it. Please come in and ask."

Lin Yanchao also knew that outside the door was not the place to speak, so he immediately followed Chen Ju into the room.

The two sat down in the main house, and Chen Ju personally served Lin Yanchao tea ceremony: "The humble house is simple, which makes Da Zongbo laugh."

Lin Yanchao smiled and said, "The mountains are not high and the water is not deep. This is a humble room, but the owner is the dear one."

Chen Ju smiled and said, "I dare not take it, I dare not take it."

Lin Yanchao has also seen many officials in Beijing dressed in poverty, and they don’t even have a place to settle down in their homes, but in fact, the houses in their hometown have built dozens of acres of land. He originally thought that Chen Ju was the same, but today it seems that Chen Ju is really poor.

Lin Yanchao said: "My father-in-law is poor, Lin really admires him. No wonder the ministers in the court praised his father-in-law at the same time."

Chen Ju smiled and said, "I am not pretending to be poor, but I am just looking for Buddha on weekdays. I can hear the morning bells and evening drums every day. It's not very good. In a few years, I will retreat from the palace and go to the temple to put on a cassock. I will be fine for the rest of my life. As for the death, I will be buried like a monk."

Lin Yanchao sighed: "My father-in-law cut off external things, which really makes Lin admire him. It is precisely because of his compassion that he helped Lin resolve the disaster twice. Lin's gratitude is really hard to express."

Chen Ju smiled and said, "Brother Da Zong, I must be uneasy in my heart. Why do our family help you repeatedly? So I came to ask!"

"Actually, when we checked Zhang Jing's house, we were already on the same boat as Luo Jinwu. So you don't have to mind."

Lin Yanchao thought to himself, who would believe this?

Lin Yanchao said: "After that being said, my father-in-law helped him repeatedly and didn't know what to repay."

Chen Ju smiled and asked, "Boss Da Zong, do you know what is different from other officials?"

"This... Lin is ignorant."

Chen Ju said: "You can do things. This time, you first discussed the court after you returned to Beijing by serving as the Minister of Rites. What did you say? Do you still remember?"

Lin Yanchao's eyes lit up and grasped the key.

"But Hecao?"

Chen Ju nodded and said, "When you first met our family, you told me that you would eliminate the accumulated problems of rivers and grains and must use sea transportation, which coincided with our family. Later, our family paid special attention to this matter and bought a lot of books. After referring to your shipping strategy, we found that it was a feasible way."

"At that time, Da Zongbo was just a co-minister of Guide, but he could think of the accumulated problems in the world, which really made Chen not expect. However, he didn't care at that time. But later you went to Linhai to visit Wang Zongmu, the governor of Qianhecao, and then proposed your shipping strategy in the court's discussion. We appreciate Da Zongbo more and more."

Thinking of this, Lin Yanchao nodded and said, "So that's it. My father-in-law also plans to support shipping?"

Chen Ju said: "Our family does not support shipping. Our family supports you, Da Zongbo. We admire Da Zongbo's talent. It turns out that our family wants to leave such a pillar of Da Zongbo for the emperor and for the country. With Da Zongbo in the court, the emperor can rest assured, and our family has done something for the country."

I see.

Lin Yanchao suddenly realized.

"Then Lin admires the whole country and the country. But Lin is afraid that he will not be competent and will let down his father-in-law's expectations."

Chen Ju smiled and said, "What's there to let go? In fact, what we expect most is the day when Da Zong Bo joined the cabinet and became the prime minister. Didn't Zhang Jiangling say that back then? You are the only one who can comfort the world. So our family really wants to see if what Zhang Jiangling said is right, and whether his vision of people is accurate."

Lin Yanchao said self-deprecatingly: "I'm afraid this is not true, and I don't know where it came from. When my father-in-law is relieved, Lin must do his best to do his best to protect the country and the country, but I will do something within my ability for the court and the world. I am not willing to be the last one."

Chen Ju nodded and said, "I heard from Master Da Zong say this, we are glad that we did not misunderstand the person."

Lin Yanchao said: "Lin thanks my father-in-law. If you have any services in the future, please tell me if you want to give me some instructions."

Chen Ju smiled and said, "Da Zong Bo still doesn't understand what our family means. Our family helps Da Zong Bo doesn't ask for anything in return. We just hope that Da Zong Bo can handle the imperial court well in the future, so that our family can benefit from it."

At the end of the talk, Chen Ju sighed: "You don't know that people like our family who have insufficient six senses have no hope in this life. As for the last bit of obsession, it is to be able to keep a little reputation in future generations, just like the way you first supervise Huai'en. So as long as you can help me fulfill this wish, in turn, our family will be grateful for your help."

Lin Yanchao was surprised when he heard this. Chen Ju said this very sincerely, like a heartfelt word. Is there really such a person in the world?
