Sun Chengzong was scolded and his face turned pale.

Fang Congzhe and Li Tingji looked at his eyes and looked at his nose and his heart, and did not dare to speak.

"The teacher's name is the student who is wrong." Sun Chengzong apologized to Lin Yanchao.

Fang Congzhe and Li Tingji looked at each other. In the past, Sun Chengzong often argued with Lin Yanchao, but because Lin Yanchao returned to the court, he became much more respectful.

In fact, Lin Yanchao knew that Sun Chengzong was right. At this time, all the officials in the court were on the crown prince. As the leader, if Lin Yanchao did not speak for the crown prince at this time, the officials would definitely point the finger at him.

If Lin Yanchao followed the Qing Dynasty's public opinion, he would have to submit a memorial to the prince, but this move was equivalent to standing in the eyes of the emperor.

If Lin Yanchao is unwilling to reform, he can stand in the prince, but if he wants to hold power, he must obey the emperor's will.

After everyone left.

At the beginning of the 29th year of Wanli, a major event happened in the court. The Ministry of Works Department impeached Lin Yanchao.

As Lin Yanchao expected, the officials pointed their finger at them.

Wang Dewan said a few things.

One thing is that after the reconstruction of the Ganqing Palace, the emperor did not live with the queen after moving back to the palace. Instead, he lived with Concubine Zheng in Qixiang Palace every day.

The queen not only lived alone in the Ganqing Palace, but also had halved the dietary food, which led to depression.

The emperor treated the queen so poorly, but his chief minister Lin Yanchao did not know how to persuade him.

Another thing is that Wang Dewan said that the three major departments of the imperial court had requisitioned nearly 10 million taels of silver, and then the current crown prince and the princes had enthroned them. The number of marriages has been used for more than 9 million taels, which is so redundant. Lin Yanchao was assisting the government in the cabinet, but did not know how to persuade him, but instead he was willing to indulge the emperor.

The third thing is that although Lin Yanchao was known as the prime minister, he was stubborn and could not tolerate others. For example, Shi Xing, Minister of War, and Chen Yiguan, the Grand Secretary of Wenyuan Pavilion, left one after another.

Lin Yanchao was speechless when he read the memorial. If the emperor and the queen were not together, it would have something to do with him, and he could still manage the emperor's family affairs.

As for the emperor's money, he had no choice. If he wanted to reform, he had to support him. If he wanted to support, he had to give money. Zhang Juzheng didn't even give him five million taels to Empress Dowager Li.

In the end, it is true that it cannot tolerate others.

Lin Yanchao remembers that these points were all the officials criticized Zhang Juzheng back then, but now they are used by themselves.

But he knew that as soon as Wang Dewan made this memorial, there were a lot of curses in the court and the country, but many officials also agreed.

The country has improved now. Although it does not hide its achievements in saving the times, it has taken over the power, which reminds officials of the troubles of Zhang Juzheng's dictatorship back then.

The censor impeached him, and according to convention, even if Lin Yanchao is the prime minister, he must submit a memorial to resign and seek resignation.

At this time, Zou Yuanbiao, Zhao Nanxing and Gu Xiancheng spoke out at Donglin Academy, asking Lin Yanchao to ask the emperor to abolish the mining tax, as the purpose of persuading the emperor.

Although the three gentlemen did not say that Lin Yanchao was not right, they spoke out after Wang Dewan impeached Lin Yanchao, and their intention was intriguing.

At this time, Chen Li happened to arrive from Guide to the capital.

When Zhang Juzheng was the chief assistant, he selected six Japanese lecturers for the emperor, at that time, Ding Shimei, He Luowen, Chen Jingbang, Xu Guo, Shen Shixing, and Wang Jiaping. Among them, Shen Shixing was the six Japanese lecturers with the least qualifications.

And what about the Shen Carp?

When the emperor was the crown prince, he served as a lecturer in the secret residence.

The lecturer of Qiandi is very different from the lecturer after ascending the throne.

Therefore, Lian Shen Shixing's qualifications are far less than those of Chen Li.

When Shen Shi was the chief minister, among the six ministers, Chen Li dared to go against Shen Shixing. At that time, all the officials thought that Chen Li was going to enter the cabinet, but in fact, he was suppressed by Shen Shixing for five years and finally returned home.

Now Zhu Geng is still on the road, Shen Li is carrying the hope of the world into the cabinet, and when Lin Yanchao was impeached by Wang Dewan.

Lin Yanchao submitted a memorial to the emperor for resignation from the position of prime minister, but the emperor refused to blame Wang Dewan and Lin Yanchao also submitted a memorial to say that he was sick.

As soon as this incident happened, public opinion in the government and the country was rampant.

After Chen Li entered the cabinet, he was in charge of the overall situation and found that it was difficult to move. The various departments did not report to Wenyuan Pavilion first, but went to Lin's private residence to report to Lin Yanchao before submitting the report.

After Chen Li was in the palace for a month, he had no choice but to go to Lin Yanchao's mansion in person.

Shenli walked into the prime minister's mansion, but saw Lin Yanchao, who was "ill" watching the fish in the pond.

Before he entered the capital, he often heard people say that Lin Yanchao often discussed the affairs of the government with the ministers of the ministry at the edge of the bamboo forest in his mansion, and he even broke the military and national affairs in his spare time.

But Lin Yanchao wore a Confucian scarf and a silly shirt, watching fish calmly by the pond, and was indescribable in the romantic and calm manner. The Confucian scholar and prime minister of the bamboo forest fish pond were like a freehand landscape painting.

"The Grand Secretary of Dongge Chen Li has met the assistant again!" Chen Li bowed and bowed.

Lin Yanchao turned around and smiled, "I don't know if Mr. Chen is missing and welcomes you, please forgive me!"

"I dare not take it. This time, Chen has been in the cabinet and has been supported by the secondary service. It is a sin to have time to thank him after coming to Beijing."

Lin Yanchao smiled faintly and said, "Mr. Chen entered the pavilion and was named after the golden cup. How dare Lin take the word "Xie"? Mr. Chen asked him to sit down!"

The two sat down on the stone bench by the pool, but saw countless koi swimming back by the pool, causing ripples.

Lin Yanchao glanced at Chen Li. He used to be his subordinate, but now the two are on par, even higher than him.

"This fish has been raised for a winter, and now it's getting warmer. Now it's put in the pond. It's not as lively and lively as last year."

Chen Li thought to himself, is Lin Yanchao's words ridiculing himself?

Lin Yanchao pointed to the pond and said, "When Wang Taicang was the chief minister, he personally came to my mansion for the chief minister. He also asked Benfu to come out of the mountain to pacify North Korea by the pond. Now Benfu and Chen Gong sit down to discuss the matter. Chen Gong, what are the differences between the fish in this pond and the fish in the river and sea?"

Chen Li thought for a while and said, "It seems like the difference between food and food but not salary."

Lin Yanchao smiled and said, "Those who eat their salary have lost the vastness of the rivers and seas. Those who do not eat their salary have difficulty having a meal of food and clothing. They cannot have both fish and bear's paws. How can Mr. Shen choose?"

"Mencius said that life is what I want, and righteousness is what I want. Both cannot be obtained, and that is why I sacrifice my life to achieve righteousness. If the second servant has the intention, Chen is willing to report to the emperor to abolish the mining tax with the second servant." Chen Li said seriously.

Lin Yanchao said: "I promised Duke Lu that year that I would abolish the mining tax within five years of entering the cabinet. How dare I ask Duke Shen to have the five-year period?"

Chen Li said: "Although the five-year period has not arrived, the people have been dying for a long time, and the world is already sparking."

Lin Yanchao said: "Why did Mr. Chen not believe in me?"

Chen Li was silent when she heard this and was about to get up, but she saw Lin Yanchao and said, "Don't Chen know if the changes in the world are there?"

Shen Li was unmoved and continued to leave.

But when Lin Yanchao saw Lin Yanchao, he said to himself: "The natural disasters and man-made disasters in various provinces are continuous. Nine years of drought in the northwest, and there are many people who have the ambition of Chen Sheng and Wu Guang. However, the royal family members in the court have expanded, and the increase of one day is like one day. The salary and rice are difficult to support, and the official system is extremely corrupt. The treasury is empty above, the people are poor and hungry below, and the treasury is full of private pockets. This situation is really a sign of chaos. What can we do if we do?"

Chen Li stopped and heard this.

"The three major sieges have been completed, and the court has reduced the siege, and the examination has been completed by trade and labor, and the government has ruled that it does not disturb the people. The people who have suffered from siege and natural disasters have a little rest. Due to the sea trade, Suzhou and Hangzhou silk, Jingde porcelain, tea, etc. have been continuously exported overseas."

"The people flocked into the city to do business, which was originally supplemented by the children of the Wei, craftsmanship, business, and stoves. They changed their jobs to other businesses and let them go. Merchants wore silk and ordinary people wore silk. The prosperity of the market would be even more successful in the past. Weaving can also read books and read, and newspapers are popular. Even children in small households are proud to read and write. Even opera troupes such as Kunqu opera have become popular among the people."

"Today, we will revive, and to take a step back, we will destroy the country's major changes. We wanted to take advantage of this to eliminate the accumulated problems, but we have two or three sons who say that I have other plans? However, what I have planned is that our ancestors plant trees and future generations enjoy the shade."

Chen Li said: "The second assistant's arbitrary decision on the court is comparable to Zhang Wenzhong back then. How could there be no reason not to be criticized? What's more, only the Duke can persuade the emperor to persuade the emperor in the matter of mining tax. Why did the Duke slow to speak?"

Lin Yanchao said: "Duke Chen, you and I will serve the emperor in the cabinet. If you have any advice, please write it in the secret. Then, openly, give advice, copy the six entries, tell the world, make the reputation belong to you, and trap the emperor in unrighteousness. If you do not care about your actions, what you wish to do in this town."

Chen Li said: "That's true."

Lin Yanchao said: "The phoenix goes from the South China Sea to the North China Sea. It does not live in the sycamore tree, does not eat without training, and does not drink without sweet springs. The phoenix gets rotten rats, but is worried that the phoenix will take it away. The reputation of Shen Gong is just rotten rats, so I knew it long ago."

"But Mr. Shen is for the country and the people, please give me some time."

Chen Li stroked his beard and said, "The assistant minister of the queen Zhang Wenzhong is disappointing, and Chen can't help but worry too much. In fact, how can the fish in this pond get the fish from the river and sea? Well, how do you want Chen to help you?"

Lin Yanchao picked up a bamboo stick about a foot in his hand and pulled the waterway in the pool: "After the chaos, there will be great governance. After the great governance, there will be great prosperity. Now the people of the court are calm and the people are at peace. Is it difficult to cure? Can it be prosperous? How can it reach this path?"

Chen Li understood Lin Yanchao's meaning and said: "With one heart and one virtue, and one can be appointed as a virtuous person, one will surely revive!"

Soon Lin Yanchao returned to the cabinet to observe the matter, and the proposal to abolish the mining tax gradually subsided. By this time, Zhu Geng had also entered the cabinet.

Shen Li and Zhu Geng were both recommended by Lin Yanchao to enter the cabinet, and the three cabinet ministers were also called one with one heart and one virtue for a while.

The cabinet made decisions in small matters, the court decided on major matters, and the ministers of the department performed their duties, and the government was in order for a while, and gradually became a trend of revival.

Wuxi, within Donglin Academy.

The wind and rain suddenly happened, but the students in the academy were still studying hard.

The sound of books in the academy is in line with the saying "The sound of wind and rain" is in my ears.

Although Gu, Zhao and Zou were good at using means to manipulate the situation in the court, the academic style in Donglin Academy can be regarded as rigorous in their rectification.

Zou Yuanbiao learned from the method of reading the scriptures and reading history on a gentle day in Xuegong Academy, and changed it to reading the Yi day in a tough day in a gentle day in a spring and autumn day in a soft day.

After reading Chen Li's letter, Gu Xiancheng sighed with regret: "Chen Guide is a true and sincere gentleman. He believes in the words of Marquis Lin, and wastes this great opportunity."

Zhao Nanxing said: "Shu Shi always said that before Mr. Lin entered the cabinet, he made a promise of abolishing the mine tax in order to gain our support. After entering the cabinet, he turned against his promise to protect the minister."

"But I think Mr. Lin is not the villain who has gone back on his word. After he said five years, we will wait and see. Moreover, from the two years he has been in power, he can be said to have made a difference."

Gu Xiancheng said: "Now that Siming is in conflict, Shen Guide is dependent on him, Zhu Shanyin is like a puppet. I am afraid that Lin Houguan will not have to be in power for five years. Now his authority is greater than that of Wang Taicang, almost as good as Zhang Taiyue in that year."

Zou Yuanbiao turned around and said, "Nothing goes beyond everything. As long as people are between heaven and earth, they cannot get rid of heaven and earth. Whether he is Lin Houguan, Zhang Wenzhong, or even Jiuwu Supreme."

"What is this world? The family law of the ancestors?" Gu Xiancheng asked.

"A word for rit." Zou Yuanbiao said with a smile.

"What is etiquette?"

"What people's hearts are comfortable with are what people's hearts want, and where etiquette is."

"Mr. Lin, what is the people's heart?"
