When he entered Wuying Hall, the emperor grasped the situation in a few words.

He promised Lin Yanchao that after Mr. Shen, he could entrust you with national affairs.

This sentence undoubtedly tells Lin Yanchao that the position of Shen Shixing will be yours sooner or later.

That was the chief minister, the prime minister of the dynasty, and the first rank.

The dream of scholars all over the world for a lifetime.

The emperor threw this out and placed it in front of Lin Yanchao, but in the end the emperor said again, there were a few ugly words in front of him.

Lin Yanchao just realized that this was the method of the emperor rubbing and rubbing, but he also understood how undeniable the emperor proposed.

Is it a 'competitive national foundation'?

No, although Concubine Zheng is pregnant now, she is not a prince, but she still says it is not a prince. No matter how favored Concubine Zheng is, the emperor cannot raise this question at this time.

So is it something else?

It is not difficult to guess the remaining Lin Yanchao.

When Lin Yanchao thought of this, his eyes shook a little.

Because Lin Yanchao thought of the scene where the building collapsed and the mountains and rivers were broken sixty years later.

Lin Yanchao smiled and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will follow Your Majesty's leader in the future. I will not do anything about the advice again!"

"Dare you?" the emperor scolded. At this time, Lin Yanchao could still make jokes when facing the position of the Supreme Minister.

But the emperor immediately realized that Lin Yanchao was not joking.

There is a kind of rejection before you say it.

The emperor immediately thought of this possibility. But he did not believe that Lin Yanchao could ignore this matter. Who could resist the temptation of power? How many people in the world were experiencing the scriptures or even bowing down for the sake of power?

Those who do not hold power will never know how to hold power. Once they lose it, they will suffer a hundred times more.

The emperor looked at Lin Yanchao for a moment, and then said, "Lin Qing, you won't refuse me, right?"

Lin Yanchao whispered: "I don't dare."

"I'm sorry you don't dare!" The emperor walked to the hall conceitedly. At this time, the thunder outside the hall had temporarily subsided, and the whistling wind stopped.

But the lightnings cut through the sky, illuminating the faces of the people in the hall.

A sudden rain is coming!

The emperor's words and words are like the power of thunder.

"The former censor Qiu Wei once wrote a memorial to me for your actions in the Admission, and Pan Jixun also praised me for your water management. But I asked a few people who understand the river engineering industry. They said that the amount of river engineering industry allocated by the imperial court every year is not enough to support you in such a large project."

"Of course I believe in the eyes of the two ministers, Qiu and Pan. Pan Jixun said that you did not stick to the old rules and adopted various new laws, and even used the credit of the government to raise funds and borrow from the private sector. When I heard this, I was a little surprised to remember Pan Jixun's saying that you adopted the new laws."

"It's so difficult to break the old rules! There is a set of right and wrong in the officialdom. I know how to balance the interests of all parties and suppress dissent. But you did it, so what you did reminded me of someone."

The emperor looked at Lin Yanchao and asked, "Do you know?"

Lin Yanchao whispered: "I know."

The emperor nodded and said, "Since you know, you will understand how I fear this person. I have a high opinion of this person. He said that only you, Lin Qing, can be assured in the world in Hanyuan. Do you know?"

Rumble!

The huge thunder sounded like a blow in Lin Yanchao's ear, but the emperor's ordinary words sounded ten times more terrifying than thunder.

The emperor said with his hands behind his back: "I know that Lin Qing, you have talent, can help the world and the people. But I am the emperor, and I will never allow anyone to challenge my authority like him!"

"Originally, I didn't allow anyone to mention his name in front of me, but today I will make an example! So I would like to warn you in this Wuying Palace, don't be the second Zhang Taiyue!"

There was a roar, and the thunder sounded, and it was raining heavily at this time.

The sound of rain filled the Wuying Hall. When the eunuchs on the hall heard the emperor's words just now, they were so scared that they looked at their noses and their hearts, and they didn't even dare to move their fingers.

Back then, all officials advised him that the emperor relieved Zhang Juzheng's family of crimes, but Zhang Juzheng's crimes were never rehabilitated.

The emperor used Zhang Juzheng's example to warn all officials and future cabinet ministers that imperial power was supreme and no one could usurp.

So in another time and space, what is the situation of the Ming Dynasty’s chief minister?

When Zhao Zhigao was the chief assistant, he generally made this comment.

Zhang Juzheng took charge of the country, and Quan Zhen was the ruler. Shen Shi followed him, and his power was still strong. Wang Xijue was tough and angry, and people were afraid of him.

When he arrived at Zhao Zhigao, he complained that the same cabinet ministers had a heavy power in the past and had a return, so they would follow them to join them with media. Today, they would be light and had a right share in power, so they would attack them to gain fame.

The general idea is that Zhang Juzheng, Shen Shixing, and Wang Xijue were there, you were afraid of his power and everyone was attached to it. When I became the chief minister, okay, the power was not as good as before, so you officials were fighting to impeach me and gain a reputation for this.

When Shen Yiguan arrived, he sighed after returning home that he was busy with you impeaching me all day long when he was in court, but he "successfully accomplished the country". This incident made him regret the rest of his life.

This is the sorrow of the chief ministers of the Wanli Dynasty.

Many people scolded Wang Xijue, Zhao Zhigao, and Shen Yiguan for not making any achievements when they served as chief ministers, which made the court worse gradually. But they really dare not use the knife? They are afraid of offending people, so are they the ones who are in vain?

When Zhang Juzheng was about to take the love, Wang Xijue ran to Zhang's mansion and forced Zhang Juzheng to put his knife across his neck.

Zhang Juzheng was about to seize the love, but Zhao Zhigao spoke out bluntly and was finally demoted and exiled to the Hanlin Academy.

When Shen Yiguan was an examiner of the examination, his colleagues wanted to admit Zhang Juzheng's son. Shen Yiguan hid the test paper and refused to accept him after all. In the end, Shen Yiguan was also driven back to his hometown by Zhang Juzheng.

When Zhang Juzheng was in great authority, these three people dared not be afraid of power. However, when they were prime ministers, they were criticized from beginning to end by all the ministers. Seeing the deterioration of the situation in the court, they could not do anything to save the situation.

Is this their responsibility?

When Ye Xianggao was about to go, he had such a conversation with Li Tingji, who was also a cabinet minister.

Ye Xianggao said: "What the emperor suspected of is that the ministers who have been accused of Jiangling's autocratic and abused power in the early years and were immersed in this way. Jiangling was there and Lin Lin had been saved. How could he have achieved his reputation?"

Li Tingji said: "Jianglingxin's right symptoms, what's the same as above that does not clash with the new year?"

Ye Xianggao's thought was that the emperor was suspicious of the ministers (actually referring to Ye and Li). It was precisely because Zhang Juzheng abused power back then that he still did this today. But the current situation in the court is in a state of deterioration. Even if Zhang Ju is in his lifetime, he is still busy making up for it, cleaning up the mess, and preventing the situation from deteriorating. How can he talk about building merits and supporting the world?

Li Tingji said that even if Zhang Juzheng has a way to support the world after his resurrection, the emperor is no longer young now. Do you think he will use Zhang Juzheng now?

Ye and Li can be said to reveal the truth in one sentence.

That’s right, there is no more Zhang Juzheng in the world. This is caused by Wanli himself!

And this tradition continued to Chongzhen.

During the Chongzhen period, the Ming Dynasty was in trouble with internal and external relations and the national treasury was empty. The chief assistant Xue Guoguan had an idea that he could no longer increase taxes to the people, and that those wealthy royal relatives had to pay.

So Chongzhen adopted it and confiscated the family wealth of Li Guorui of Wuqing Marquis (the fifth generation of the father of Empress Dowager Li, Wuqing Bo Li Wei). As a result, Li Guorui of Wuqing Marquis was frightened to death.

Once this example begins, everyone in the royal family and country will be in danger and arrange Xue Guoguan in front of Chongzhen.

As a result, Chongzhen was shaken and turned around and confiscated the head servant Xue Guoguan for corruption and sentenced him to death.

Xue Guoguan became the second chief minister who was sentenced to death by the emperor after Xia Yan. He confiscated only 9,000 taels of money and 600 acres of land from Xue Guoguan's chief minister for corruption. However, the family of Li Guorui, the Marquis of Wuqing, had 400,000 taels of money alone.

From then on, no one in the court dared to mention the confiscation of these royal relatives, and no one planned how to reverse the financial deficit of the Ming Dynasty.

Chongzhen reigned for 17 years, working diligently and staying up all day long. After 17 years in power, there was no construction in the palace and no care about food and clothing.

Chongzhen felt deeply that the prime minister was inaction, and in 17 years he changed more than fifty prime ministers. The prime minister was as cheap as a cabbage. When he died in the country, he wrote the edict that all the ministers mistook me.

Now the emperor is telling Lin Yanchao that you can’t be the second Zhang Juzheng!

The heavy rain fell, hitting the stone steps, hitting the stone bricks in the corridor, and hitting the white marble bridge.

The vast sound of rain echoes between heaven and earth.

Sweat dripped from Lin Yanchao's forehead. During this month, he thought about it and admitted his desire for fame and fortune.

So today he went to the palace and first admitted his mistake to the emperor.

In other words, he came here today to speak carefully, and he didn't want to blame the emperor at all. He would return to the Hanlin Academy smoothly before talking.

Of course, Lin Yanchao can now pretend to agree and pass this level first!

But Lin Yanchao thought of Xue Guoguan's example and felt that the most serious thing was that he came from and went back, but if he didn't say that he might die in the future.

The emperor said slowly: "Lin Qing, many ministers praised you in front of me, saying that you are like Zhang Taiyue back then, but I will never allow another Zhang Taiyue in this dynasty. Lin Qing, between the king and the minister, is it only the Prime Minister who knows that he still holds the sword? Do not start and end well and achieve a good story?"

Speaking of this, the emperor sighed deeply.

The wind and rain hit the corridor in front of the hall, and there was a silence between the king and the minister.

Lin Yanchao's eyebrows trembled, and his fists were clenching tighter and tighter.

When the emperor saw Lin Yanchao hesitating and firm, he was as if he had advised him at the beginning, there must be something amazing about this.

At this time, Lin Yanchao raised his head, his expression had just receded, and he returned to his usual peaceful appearance.

Lin Yanchao said: "Your Majesty, I will not be Zhang Jiangling, but if Your Majesty is right, I will be Wang Jingchuan!"

Lin Yanchao's words were calm, but the emperor seemed to hear thunder from silent place.

The thunder outside the hall has stopped, the rain has faded, the sudden rain comes and goes quickly.

But there is a force that cannot be shaken even if it is stormy.

The emperor glanced at the wind and rain outside the hall, and then looked at Lin Yanchao for a while: "Lin Qing, do you think you want to learn from Wang Anshi? What do you mean is that I want to be like Emperor Shenzong of Song?"

Lin Yanchao said: "Your Majesty, the biggest difference between Zhang Jiangling and Wang Jingzhou is that Zhang Jiangling abuses power and is on the throne, while Wang Jingzhou is the unity of the monarch and his subjects."
