The eldest son of the emperor and the third son of the emperor went out to study together.

This is not a big promotion of buying one free one, but a big pit that buried Zhao Zhigao and Lin Yanchao together.

After all, the eldest son of the emperor is older and cannot really continue to "out of school", but studying in the cabinet will inevitably be considered by all officials to have established a position. Therefore, the third son of the emperor must stand up and share the harm for his father.

Lin Yanchao clearly remembers how Shen Shixing dealt with this situation back then.

But what should Zhao Zhigao do if it was?

This is a very challenging moment for the prime minister to rule.

For Lin Yanchao, he was waiting for Zhao Zhigao to answer.

However, because the shadow appeared in his heart last time, Lin Yanchao subconsciously looked at the tent. If Concubine Zheng appeared again, it would be wonderful.

"Sir, what do Lin Qing think?"

When the emperor saw Zhao Zhigao, Lin Yanchao asked again without answering. Lin Yanchao immediately turned his body and looked at Zhao Zhigao sitting, as if he was following the head of the prime minister.

But when Zhao Zhigao nodded, he said, "Your Majesty is wise!"

Lin Yanchao cursed in his heart, "Damn, Zhao Zhigao is so cowardly, I still expect you to come forward and take the blame."

The emperor was overjoyed and said in disbelief: "Sir, do you think it's accurate?"

Zhao Zhigao said: "The most important thing in the country is to establish a crown prince, and the beauty of the emperor is to take over power and make decisions. His Majesty had already intended to let the emperor's eldest son go out of the cabinet to study, but it was delayed because of the accused ministers. This made His Majesty disappoint his ministers, so it is a very wise move to decide that the emperor's eldest son goes out of the cabinet to study."

After Zhao Zhigao finished saying this, the emperor's expression immediately dimmed.

Lin Yanchao was also funny in his heart.

The emperor said, Zhao Zhigao, are you fooling me by saying that? Zhao Zhigao replied, "Your Majesty, you fooled me first."

But when Zhao Zhigao saw Zhao Zhigao said very seriously, "Your Majesty, you can't delay any further. This palace is the Spring (Chenghe) Palace, also known as the Spring House. It can be seen that the ceremony must be held in the spring month. The old minister thought that the ceremony of the eldest son going out of the cabinet will be held in the spring month next year. I wonder what Your Majesty thinks?"

The emperor said helplessly: "Sir, I said that the eldest son of the emperor and the third son of the emperor went out to study together."

Zhao Zhigao immediately said when he heard this: "The old minister was deaf and did not hear the heavenly words clearly for a while. The old minister was guilty, and the old minister was guilty!"

The emperor said, "It's okay. The sir said he was going to study in the next spring. I thought it would be a good day. It would be a good thing for the eldest son and the third son of the emperor to study together."

Zhao Zhigao hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, this is absolutely inappropriate. The old minister just said that he chose to study in Chunyue because the palace means Chun (明官网) Palace Chunfang. But the two princes went out to study at the same time, which means two crown princes."

Lin Yanchao nodded. This answer was really good. How could Zhao Zhigao have such an on-the-spot reaction instead of covering his chest and resting.

The emperor paused and said, "Then the spring moon doesn't work, how about changing it in March?"

But when Zhao Zhigao hesitated for a while, he said, "Report to Your Majesty, old minister... I have a desire for phlegm in my throat..."

"It's okay, sir, just go and cough."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Then Zhao Zhigao got up and left his seat, and then the emperor looked at Lin Yanchao.

Standing aside, Lin Yanchao stared at Zhao Zhigao's back as he walked away, wishing he could tell him to sit down and not move, and I would peel an orange for you to eat.

"As a minister of rituals, Lin Qing thought what about March?" asked the emperor.

At this time, the sound of Zhao Zhigao clearing his throat came from the side, and it sounded like he was cleaning the sewer from afar.

Lin Yanchao cursed Zhao Zhigao a hundred times in his heart, and said in his face: "My...My..."

"Lin Qing, do you also want to clean?" The emperor looked at Lin Yanchao.

In the past, when ministers reported to the emperor during the morning court, they usually had to clear their throats first, which was called cleaning. Of course, this move was not considered rude.

Lin Yanchao was also sweating profusely.

Should the ministers be ordered by the emperor? At that time, Emperor Zhenzong of Song sent an envoy to hold a hand-in-hand edict to call Liu the noble concubine. At that time, Prime Minister Li Yan pointed out the candle and burned the edict to the envoy, and then submitted a memorial saying, "But the Taoist minister thinks it's not possible."

This is the character of an official.

Lin Yanchao thought for a while and said, "If it is scheduled for March, it means that neither the two princes are the candidates for the crown prince. Whether it is the first month or March, it is not in line with the etiquette, and all the ministers dare not obey the order."

It's enough for the ministers to say this. But Lin Yanchao is not the one who will only refuse and not propose alternatives.

This is the difference between a censor and a prime minister.

Lin Yanchao said: "In fact, I think there is another way to compromise. The eldest son of the emperor will be determined to study in the spring month, and the third son of the emperor will be determined to study in the middle of the year. What does Your Majesty think?"

After hearing Lin Yanchao's words, the emperor fell into deep thought, while Zhao Zhigao finished 'cleaning' and walked back and said, "Your Majesty, the old ministers heard what the Minister of Rites said just now. This proposal is feasible."

Lin Yanchao chuckled in his heart twice, and his ears were very good this time, ha?

The emperor pondered for a while and said, "Since that's the case, I think it's feasible."

Zhao Zhigao and Lin Yanchao breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

Zhao Zhigao said: "The old minister asked the emperor to express his order to enthrone the eldest son from the imperial court to study in the first month and the third son from the imperial court to study in the third month."

The emperor said, "I still need to think about this."

Zhao Zhigao said: "If it is the first month of next year, then it will be less than two months, and Your Majesty will not be late at all!"

The emperor said: "When Mr. Wang returns to the court, I will issue an order. Yes, so why should the two families recommend the candidates for the lecturer?"

Zhao Zhigao said: "This prince's lecturer has always been from Zhan Shi's house. I have not been in the palace for a long time to offer sacrifices. I don't know that the future generations are now a hero, so it is better to be elected by the Minister of Rites."

Lin Yanchao thought to himself, Zhao Zhigao, a good person! But I still want to peel oranges for you.

The emperor nodded and said, "Lin Qing's recommendation must be appropriate. Who is the candidate in your heart right now?"

The eldest son of the emperor is a high-speed channel for the secret residence of the emperor and enter the cabinet to become the prime minister. Moreover, if you can gain the trust of the crown prince, that is, the emperor in the future, as long as the eldest son ascends the throne, you will be Zhang Juzheng, a prime minister who speaks the same way as Gao Gong.

Lin Yanchao plundered in his heart. It was also a very skillful thing to recommend the candidates for lecturers to the emperor. Will the person he recommended makes His Majesty think it is his personal? Perhaps the emperor thinks that he intends to install his own people next to the emperor's eldest son.

If the emperor and the eldest son are in opposition to each other in the future, he will be implicated.

At this time, Lin Yanchao remembered that Shen Shixing wanted to recommend Zhao Zhigao and Zhang Wei to the cabinet, rather than recommending his own personal Zhu Geng and Shen Yiguan.

However, in order to avoid suspicion, it is not the style that Lin Yanchao has always been an official.

Lin Yanchao immediately reported: "I think the emperor's eldest son is not a trustworthy minister, and a talented and knowledgeable man is not competent. But what kind of minister can be called two? I am ignorant, so please let Your Majesty make it clear!"

The emperor smiled and said, "Lin Qing just said it's okay, just pick the useful ones."

Lin Yanchao immediately said: "Your Majesty said you would choose something useful according to your order. Then I personally think that the eldest son of the emperor, Ruiling, will be respectful. When you first get a primary school, you must do more work to make progress. The deacons and officials must take turns to make full use of it, otherwise it will inevitably make mistakes."

"Therefore, I would like to assign ten Hanlin officials as the eldest son of the emperor. Among them, I think there are lecturers, Sun Jigao, Shengne, Imperial College Priest Xiao Liangyou, Xima Li Tingji, compile Tang Wenxian, Jiao Hong, edit Tao Wangling, Zou Depu, and review Xiao Yunju throughout the day."

Lin Yanchao said the names of ten officials in one breath, which immediately surprised the emperor and Zhao Zhigao.

Generally speaking, it would be almost enough for the eldest son of the emperor to study and be given six Hanlin students. But what does Lin Yanchao recommending ten people in one breath?

Emperor, Zhao Zhigao couldn't help but wonder what Lin Yanchao was trying to recommend so many people at once.

From the list of these people, although Lin Yanchao's disciples are students, most of them are not Lin Yanchao's disciples.

The emperor said slowly: "Will Lin Qing give too much?"

Zhao Zhigao understood a little. Of course, six lecturers were not as good as ten lecturers. If the emperor wanted to trouble the emperor's eldest son in the future, then the ten lecturers would definitely share the responsibilities more than the six lecturers.

But... but Lin Yanchao's recommendation is also questionable. For example, Sun Jigao and Shengne are all older. As for the remaining people, only one Li Tingji can be regarded as Lin Yanchao's personal.

Could it be...Is Lin Yanchao going to give up all his other disciples and focus on cultivating Li Tingji to inherit his own legacy in the future? Instead of the rumored Fang Congzhe and Sun Chengzong?

At this time, Lin Yanchao had already replied: "Report to the emperor, the Yu Sect is a major event in the country. I am afraid that there will be fewer people, and not more people."

The emperor stroked his stomach and thought for a while and said, "I remember that Sun Chengzong is both virtuous and talented, why didn't Lin Qing recommend him?"

Faced with the emperor's question, Lin Yanchao said without hesitation: "I am afraid that officials in the world will have their own opinions!"

After Lin Yanchao finished speaking, the emperor laughed and his fat belly trembled.

"Is Lin Qing also afraid of public opinion?"

"How can I not worry if I am not a saint?"

When the emperor heard Lin Yanchao's words, he thought of another meaning. Lin Yanchao and Sun Chengzong really had a gap in their hearts.

The emperor immediately said, "I think it is a commoner who does not avoid hatred for his offspring and a son who does not avoid his offspring. This is what I think. Lin Qing, the Minister of Rites, should focus on the study of the eldest son of the emperor. How could he be afraid of others' discussions and not recommend suitable talents?"

"I think Sun Chengzong is competent. What do you think?"

Zhao Zhigao said on the side: "The old minister thinks that the Minister of Rites is appropriate, and the old minister attaches his opinion."

The emperor nodded and said, "Then I already know the candidate for officials. Don't reveal any slightest remarks about today. After Mr. Wang returns to the court, there will be an order. I don't want another Wang family screen to appear in the cabinet."

When Wang Jiaping was the chief minister, he openly told the emperor the emperor's eldest son to go out of the cabinet to study, and said that this matter made the emperor very unhappy. This was also the beginning of the emperor's loss of trust in Wang Jiaping.

For Lin Yanchao and Zhao Zhigao, there is certainly a certain degree. At that moment, the two of them said yes and then left the warm room.
