After hearing what Chen Ju said, Lin Yanchao couldn't help but feel moved.

When Confucian ruled the country, it means governing the world with etiquette.

Therefore, among the six ministries in the court, the Ministry of Rites must be above the Ministry of Justice. If the Qin Dynasty had six ministries, then the Ministry of Justice must be above the Ministry of Rites, or there would be no Ministry of Rites at all.

However, the Ministry of Rites seems to be able to manage everything, but in fact, it cannot manage anything. This often leaves behind the lightest sense of power among the six ministries.

Even Lin Yanchao was the Minister of Rites when he was appointed as the Minister of Rites, he only regarded it as a promotion to enter the cabinet, and did not take the responsibilities of the Minister of Rites seriously.

But in fact, it is not the case. Both etiquette and punishment are rules.

Just as punishment is not up to the doctor and etiquette is not up to the common people, etiquette is more suitable for superiors and punishment is more suitable for subordinates.

Letting foreign countries is like there are three statues in the Supreme Court of the United States, namely Confucius, Moses, and Solon. Confucius represents morality, Moses represents theology, and Solon represents politics. This is the source of law.

In the Ming Dynasty, the words "ritual" and "punishment" were adopted to determine the rules of the upper and lower levels, and the Ministry of Rites had the right to interpret rituals.

The debate on the agreement between Lin Yanchao and Zou Yuanbiao on the law of rituals began from then on. Lin Yanchao and Zou Yuanbiao also believed that the priest was the matter of rituals in ancient times, and they were the officials of the princes in charge of sacrifices. The priest should assist the king to govern the world with the rituals of wise and righteousness.

However, Zou Yuanbiao believed that the prime minister must obey the clear public opinion and govern in order to achieve good governance. Zou Yuanbiao's opinion is the position of Donglin Academy. This is different from Lin Yanchao.

Having said that after Chen Ju mentioned this, Lin Yanchao realized why he had been said to be a minister of the Ministry of Rites and was said to be useless by officials, because neither in Haicao nor in Korean military affairs, his responsibilities were his.

Lin Yanchao's move not only overstepped the affairs, but also caused dissatisfaction among Shi Xing, who was in charge of the Ministry of War and Hecao officials.

But in the most important matter of establishing a country, he did not make any achievements. He served as Minister of Rites for the past two years, and has not made any progress. Therefore, it became the most common handle for the ruling ministers to criticize the ruling ministers.

Therefore, if Lin Yanchao wants to restore his reputation that has been declining due to the sea and the dynasty, he must make some remedies for the basic affairs of the country. This is what his Minister of Rites should do, otherwise he will have to bear a position and eat a simple meal.

After a hurry to meet Lin Yanchao, Chen Ju and Lin Yanchao suggested that he would rush back to the palace after competing for the merit of becoming a crown prince.

The two of them dated privately, so they could not delay too long.

When Lin Yanchao saw Chen Ju leaving, he immediately said, "Eunuch Chen, Lin has something to ask for."

Chen Ju heard this and said, "If you can get the request from the Lord of the Communist Party, this matter must be important, please speak out!"

Lin Yanchao said: "Mr. Lin had a friend named Gao Huai in the palace. She was expelled from the palace to Nanjing because Zhang Jing was expelled from the palace. Lin was always worried because of this. He heard that he was not doing well in Nanjing, so Lin begged his father-in-law to transfer him back."

Seeing that Lin Yanchao was a nostalgic person, Chen Ju felt more appreciative of him in his heart.

But he said in embarrassment: "The Lord of the Lord said so. Chen shouldn't have refused, but it has always been difficult for the people expelled from the palace to recall. It is not easy for our family to break this rule."

Lin Yanchao said: "Lin dares not ask for this, so he asked his father-in-law to arrange a relaxing errand for him."

Chen Ju thought for a while and said, "It's okay, there is a shortage of agents in the imperial shop in Linqing. Can I arrange for him to take care of him? What do you think?"

Lin Yanchao was overjoyed and said, "That's great, so I'll ask Gao Huai to give a middle-aged man who is familiar with his father-in-law and give him a few more antiques."

Chen Ju smiled when she heard this, secretly praised Lin Yanchao for his careful behavior, so he nodded.

Chen Ju immediately said goodbye to Lin Yanchao.

The 21st year of Wanli.

On the first few days of the first lunar month, auspicious snow fell in the capital.

After Wang Xijue returned to the court, the emperor was very satisfied and immediately issued an edict to promote Wang Xijue to the Grand Secretary of Wenhua Palace, and the second assistant Zhao Zhigao was also promoted to the Grand Secretary of Wenyuan Pavilion.

Wang Xijue was not willing to accept the court because he was in his family and was incompetent to his family. He resigned as the Grand Secretary of Wenhua Palace and was still appointed as the Grand Secretary of Wuying Palace.

However, Zhao Zhigao was promoted to the Grand Secretary of Wenyuan Pavilion.

Lu Guangzu and Zhang Wei did not move.

In the corridor of Wenyuan Pavilion, Wang Xijue was watching the snow scene with his hands behind his back.

Under this snowy scene, Wang Xijue was wearing a big red python dressed by a first-rank official, and covered the Qilin wool given by the emperor. He let the north wind blow his three-foot-long beard, and he had a graceful and luxurious manners from the prime minister.

When Wang Xijue was enjoying the snow, he heard footsteps coming from opposite Jinshui Bridge. An official in a robe walked on the snow, and the other party followed two servants.

After seeing the official's face clearly, Wang Xijue couldn't help but smile.

This person is Wang Xijue's friend, Luo Wanhua, the current left assistant minister of the Ministry of Personnel.

Luo Wanhua came to the pavilion and asked Wang Xijue with a smile: "Yuan Fu, why are you pondering here?"

Wang Xijue smiled and said, "Qingqing Zijin, my heart is always there, but for your sake, I have been pondering until now!"

After saying that, the two laughed.

"Zhao Xiangye is really worried about it."

Wang Xijue smiled and said, "Last year, I was at my mother's knees. I went out one day and heard birds singing on the roadside. I suddenly remembered that you and I were teaching the last emperor and then passed through the inner garden. You heard that there were yellow orioles singing and that I immediately wrote a poem."

"I will open the bright scenery and the new sound is clever and the forest flowers are covered with the first test of the branches. The trees move to the rhymes and turn to credit. The springs are adjusted in the quiet place and the jade chariot is divided into green in the shade. The window screen is covered with the holy dynasty. The Holy Dynasty meets with the phoenix and the bird is very proud."

"This poem is very popular. At that time, I spoke it in front of my fellow villagers, and everyone cheered for it."

Luo Wanhua smiled and shook his head and said, "How many years have it been, Yuan Fu, you and I are old now."

Wang Xijue stroked his beard and said, "The old horse is in the stable and has ambitions, but I am not convinced by the old age. Okay, let's go to the duty room to talk."

The two of them immediately entered the duty room, and the cabinet officials immediately lit the charcoal basin.

Wang Xijue and Luo Wanhua reached out to warm their hands together in front of the charcoal basin.

Wang Xijue's hands were almost warm: "In the past, when the matter of establishing a deposit was broken, it was broken by the word "urgent", just like this hand warmer, it was hot when it was close to it, and cold when it was far away, so this matter should be slowly taken."

Luo Wanhua asked, "How to slowly draw it?"

Wang Xijue said: "Previously, the head of the Ministry of Works, Zhang Youde, submitted a memorial to the emperor's eldest son's study in the cabinet, which aroused the anger of the heavens. This is a lesson for the past. It is not appropriate to propose that the study in the cabinet is now. When he met the saint, His Majesty proposed the plan of the three kings to be conferred together. I thought he could agree first, but the crown prince must recognize the queen as his legitimate son and then plan to enthrone. This delay will be settled for one or two years."

Luo Wanhua thought for a while and said, "This matter depends entirely on the tacit understanding between the emperor and Yuanfu, and the court officials are afraid that they will object."

Wang Xijue said: "This enthronement depends on the Ministry of Rites..."

"Master Bolin Hou Guan? This person can be difficult to get along with."

Wang Xijue said lightly: "Although this person is not a villain, his political views are not in harmony with me. He is afraid it will be difficult for him to be at the Ministry of Rites. When I returned to Beijing, I had already discussed his affairs with Sanfu Lupinghu."

"He advocated transferring Lin Yanchao out of Beijing to replace Song Renhe as the Japanese strategy. I thought this strategy was feasible. First, Song Renhe had insufficient prestige and his strategy was more important than the Xinjiang ministers. He was not a second-rank official. Second, Lin Houguan did not advocate tribute. After the Japanese pirates were defeated, they would have to negotiate. He would be an appropriate candidate."

Luo Wanhua nodded and said, "This is a good way, but why did Yuan Fu predict that the Japanese pirates would retreat."

Wang Xijue said: "This is guaranteed by Grand Sima and I. Just a few days ago, the general general Li Rusong of the Admiral had led a large army across the river, directing to Pyongyang, Kaicheng, and Wangjing. As long as the three capitals are restored, the affairs of North Korea can be decided. Even if the army cannot make achievements, the army will only have 50 days of food and fodder, and cannot fight for a long time."

Luo Wanhua said: "So that's the case. So when can I move the transfer of the official Lin Hou to the court?"

Wang Xijue said: "In just ten days, as soon as Guan Hou of Lin leaves, your burden will be heavy."

Luo Wanhua understood what Wang Xijue meant: "Did Yuan Fu want me to replace the Minister of Rites?"

Although the Left Minister of the Ministry of Personnel is a third rank, he is not as good as the Minister of Personnel in terms of power and power. Therefore, the Left Minister of the Ministry of Personnel is promoted to the Minister of the Ministry of Rites, but in fact it is only a pacific move, and sometimes it is not as good as it is.

As for when is it worse? It’s the occasion like this now.

Wang Xijue said: "At the time when you were demoted to Nanjing for the establishment of a crown prince, all officials in the world would arouse you. If you hold the Ministry of Rites seriously this time, all officials would be at ease."

Luo Wanhua understood what Wang Xijue meant.

Wang Xijue was to support his three kings as Minister of Rites.

Instead of increasing power, we have to take the blame.

Luo Wanhua whispered: "Yuanfu, Jingcha is coming soon!"

After the first month of the year, the Ministry of Personnel was presided over the plan of the Beijing Administrative Office. At this time, it was even more difficult for Wang Xijue to control the Beijing Administrative Office.

Wang Xijue's face turned stern and sighed: "National foundation is more serious now."

Luo Wanhua actually disagreed with Wang Xijue's move in his heart, but he was Wang Xijue's friend, and thought about the achievements of establishing a crown prince and his old friend's situation. Luo Wanhua immediately said: "For the sake of the people and the safety of the country, I am willing to try it out."

Wang Xijue knew Luo Wanhua was wronged when he heard this, and sighed: "Yifu's feelings and Jing Xijue didn't know what to say, but he could only remember you in his heart. For the sake of the present, the only way to quickly let Mr. Lin leave the capital. You can do this for the Dazong Bo."

On that day, the Ministry of Personnel Examination for the Merits.

Sili's doctor **xing, and Yuanwai's man Gu Xiancheng were sitting opposite each other on a small table, using dine-in.

Soon the officials brought the food table to the two of them.

But seeing Gu Xiancheng raise his chopsticks and smile, "Dongpo pork, Mengbai, you and I have a good taste today."

After saying that, Gu Xiancheng picked up a chopstick and nodded and said, "Fat but not greasy, crisp but not burnt! This is not from the hands of our Ministry of Personnel's Gallery Chef!"

Then the clerk smiled and said, "Si Jun is really smart and can't hide anything from you. This is from Matouzhai..."

The clerk was so shocked that he saw Gu Xiancheng's face had sunk in half.

"Not to be an example."

When the officials heard this, the three souls and seven spirits returned to their bodies and nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, yes, the villain must remember, the two Si Jun should use it slowly, the villain will take his leave!"

"Slow down!" The top star called the other party and then said to Gu Xiancheng. "It's really hard for the whole department to revise the visits these days. The weather is cold outside. Today, I will make a difference. Everyone drinks some wine to warm up their bodies!"

Gu Xiancheng nodded and said, "Do as Si Jun wants!"

The clerk said that he left the house only then.

**xing said to a plate of Dongpo Po, "This little official has also put some effort into it after all."

Gu Xiancheng said: "I'm just worried about the bad things!"

**xing nodded and said, "The Beijing Inspection is about to arrive. After all the Beijing Inspections, there are Chen Yan in Taiwan Province. This time, there are no exception. Before the Beijing Inspections, there are censors who have submitted memorials. Every time the Beijing Inspections are visiting the Beijing Inspections, the name of the four officials is not written."
