Zhang Juzheng actually called Lin Yanchao's name directly, instead of calling Lin Yanchao Lin Zhongyun as usual, which made Lin Yanchao a little flattered. In the past, when he was in the cabinet, the two were considered superiors and subordinates, but Zhang Juzheng had never been so kind to himself.

The last time the two of them had a falling out, Lin Yanchao still remembered that the moment he took off his official hat, Zhang Juzheng's face turned into a pig's liver.

As time goes by, Zhang Juzheng greeted him like this, as if nothing had happened. Lin Yanchao became alert. If Zhang Juzheng scolded him in person, it would be fine, which means that the matter had been exposed.

But Zhang Juzheng's ambiguous attitude made Lin Yanchao a little scared.

So Lin Yanchao said respectfully: "Yes, the lower officials have met the central hall."

Zhang Juzheng nodded, and Lin Yanchao bowed and stood aside. Although there was a short stool next to Lin Yanchao's feet, Zhang Juzheng had no intention of letting him sit, so he could only stand.

Zhang Juzheng said: "It's a turbulent time now. When the court hires people, it's good to come back. But it's so late, why don't you come back tomorrow? You came to the Prime Minister's Mansion from another place first?" Zhang Juzheng asked himself so directly, just to ask Lin Yanchao if he had gone elsewhere to come to the Prime Minister's Mansion after returning to the capital.

If Lin Yanchao went elsewhere first and came to see Zhang Juzheng, Zhang Juzheng would have thoughts, and it was certain that he felt uncomfortable in his heart. Therefore, Lin Yanchao couldn't help but admire Shen Shixing's good at speculating on Zhang Juzheng's thoughts, which was reflected in this slight detail.

In fact, Lin Yanchao went to Shen Shixing's mansion for a while and came to the Prime Minister's mansion again. If it is to be honest, it would have been wasted Shen Shixing's intentions, which would still make Zhang Juzheng unhappy.

If it is untrue, if Zhang Juzheng knew Lin Yanchao's whereabouts, the consequences of lying to the prime minister would definitely be even worse.

This is a test for Lin Yanchao to adapt to the situation. However, before Lin Yanchao came to the prime minister's mansion, he was thinking about how to deal with Zhang Juzheng for a while, and set up many plans. As for the answer to this question, Lin Yanchao had already expected it and wrote a draft.

Lin Yanchao said calmly: "If you go back to the central hall, Xiaguan has just arrived in Tongzhou in the afternoon."

Zhang Juzheng nodded slightly after hearing this. The meaning of this nod is probably to be considered as your knowledge.

Then Zhang Juzheng asked with great concern: "I just arrived in the afternoon? So I haven't gone to the Ministry of Personnel to report. I remember how many days will you have to return. I really don't have to be so anxious. I will handle the private affairs at home for a few days first, settle it, and then go to the Ministry of Personnel to report."

Lin Yanchao has been dealing with Zhang Juzheng for a long time, and this big ss has a similar temperament. After the experience of countless people being destroyed, Lin Yanchao can roughly know what skills Zhang Juzheng will use.

Our prime minister’s favorite thing is to dig a hole and let you jump down by yourself. If you dare to answer, I will try to rest at home for a few days first. Haha, don’t rush to report to the Ministry of Personnel. Lin Yanchao rushed back to Beijing all the way, because he was afraid that you would catch your braid.

Lin Yanchao immediately replied: "If you go back to the Central Hall, how can private affairs be greater than state affairs? After receiving the imperial edict in your hometown, the lower officials were afraid that they would be unable to be competent and live up to the expectations of the emperor and the prime minister. The lower officials knew that they were stupid and had little talent, and only the word diligence could make up for the shortcomings, so they did not dare to stop along the way. They rushed back to the capital, came to the Prime Minister's Mansion to listen to the instructions of the Central Hall, and then went to the Ministry of Personnel to report to the Ministry of Personnel in order to get started as soon as possible, and did not dare to neglect for a moment."

Haha, Zhang Juzheng stroked his long beard and smiled loudly: "Zonghai, if you are stupid, there will be no smart people in the court."

Lin Yanchao breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he had just answered something wrong, Zhang Juzheng might have said, "You dare to neglect such an important position as a lecturer for several days, so I will just replace him if you have not yet taken up the job."

After a pause, Zhang Juzheng continued to caress his beard and said, "The emperor is in power and is studying the way of governing the country. Zong Hai was a Japanese lecturer. Can Emperor Qiwo take action in his heart?"

After entering the door, Zhang Juzheng asked Lin Yanchao three questions, the first two asked attitudes, this one asked the ability and method.

This time he didn't dig a hole and asked directly.

Lin Yanchao had a plan: "The emperor is wise and wise. If he hears it, he will be a wise king in the future. The subordinates serve the emperor only by doing their best and devote themselves to their efforts."

When Zhang Juzheng sang a little, his expression clearly meant that you don’t have to tell me what you said, so hurry up and get to the point.

Lin Yanchao continued: "The officials thought that most of us scholars were clumsy, so we should be content with clumsiness and make up for it with diligence and be cautious. We should not use tricks to sell our wisdom, otherwise we will be more mistaken."

Hearing this, Zhang Juzheng nodded slightly.

Lin Yanchao continued: "The knowledge of the lower officials is derived from the words diligence and perseverance. If an ordinary person can do these two words, he will not worry about learning without fail. The emperor's wisdom is far better than ordinary people. If he can study diligently and persevere, there is no way for Yao and Shun to add it."

Zhang Juzheng smiled and said, "Everyone in the world envys Zong Hai for your ability to remember everything you have, but you say that you are clumsy, and knowledge comes from diligence and permanence, and his words seem false. I ask you, diligence and permanence are easy to talk about, but where do you get it from?"

The sarcasm in Zhang Juzheng's words was obvious.

Lin Yanchao was unmoved and replied seriously: "If you want to get the word "diligence and perseverance", you should never ridicule others and start to do it late. In this way, you can be proud and vain first."

When Zhang Juzheng heard Lin Yanchao say this, he didn't say anything, but stared at Lin Yanchao. Lin Yanchao naturally lowered his head and did not dare to look at Zhang Juzheng.

After a long time, Zhang Juzhengfang said slowly: "Zonghai is a true Confucian minister."

"The central government is praised, and the lower officials dare not call this title."

Lin Yanchao answered so unfairly, and Zhang Juzheng was so sure. Lin Yanchao was quite happy in his heart, but didn’t you say that my words seemed false? I just pretended to be fake.

What a person Zhang Juzheng is? Lin Yanchao's little thoughts can't be hidden from him.

However, Zhang Juzheng didn't know what to say. Lin Yanchao answered it in a slight manner, and every sentence could hit his mind, except for the last sentence.

So Zhang Juzheng said lightly: "Okay, it's late at night, I won't keep you anymore. Remember what you said to me today, and go to the Ministry of Personnel to read the matter tomorrow!"

"Yes, the middle hall, the lower officials left." Lin Yanchao saluted Zhang Juzheng, took a few steps back before turning around and leaving.

When sent out of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Lin Yanchao stood under the steps, looking at the moonlight in the sky, and couldn't help but sigh that he couldn't hold back. He just responded to Zhang Juzheng. Everything was done. Why, in the end, he still couldn't help but give Zhang Juzheng a soft nail.

Still too young, too young.

The next day, Lin Yanchao went to the Ministry of Personnel to pay a penalty.

This is the treatment of visiting relatives, and you have to wait for the vacancy again. If you are a prefect or a county magistrate, if you are not in office for a few months, the Ministry of Personnel will immediately send someone to defeat you, and you can only return to the Ministry of Personnel to wait for the vacancy again.

But the palace officials like Lin Yanchao would not have such concerns. After a few days, he received the tooth card again and confessed his life. (To be continued.)
