Wuyi Palace, Duty Room.

Yan Song put the white lingzhi back on the exquisite box, and sighed lightly: "Although this white lingzhi is a rare thing, it took us so long to find this kind of thing, and the saint will definitely not be satisfied!" ”

Although he is old, he has been touching the saint for more than 30 years. He didn't need to think with his brain at all, and he knew that when this thing was presented to the emperor, it would definitely not be able to impress the saint.

"Grandpa, what should I do then?" Yan Hong believed his grandfather's judgment and asked worriedly.

Yan Song sighed lightly, shook his head and said helplessly: "The Holy Lord has already issued an order for hundreds of officials to offer treasures, we can't delay it any longer, I hope the Holy Lord can understand it this time!" ”

But it's not that he's unfaithful, but it's a spiritual treasure that is hard to find. From him, the first assistant, to the ordinary people below, they all know that offering treasures can be rewarded, but these decades can be described as scraping the ground.

Yan Hong saw that Yan Song was about to get up, and hurriedly stepped forward and reached out to help Yan Song up. Although he is arrogant, he respects this grandfather from the heart, and he wants to serve his grandfather from the bottom of his heart.

The grandfather and grandson carried the box of the essence, and left the Wuyi Hall together, heading towards the Wanshou Palace.

The time has reached dusk, and the sunset is falling in the palace complex, making this world look resplendent in gold.

Hey?

On the way to Wanshou Palace, Yan Hong saw a familiar figure from a distance, it was Shuntian Mansion Cheng Lin Haoran. Watching him walk from the direction of the Wanshou Palace, I don't know if he was blocked out of the door, or if he had already seen the saint.

If it was before, he wouldn't have taken the little four-grade official in his eyes at all. It's just that after seeing Lin Haoran's wrist and what Lin Haoran has done recently, he knows that this is a great character, and even his grandfather said that it is a sure thing for this person to enter the cabinet to worship the prime minister.

Yan Song is now old, and he will soon need Yan Hong's support to continue to move forward, and as Yan Hong suddenly froze in place, he noticed something strange, and immediately asked: "Yan Hong, what's wrong?" ”

"Grandpa, I saw Lin Wenkui!" Yan Hong retracted his gaze and said honestly.

"Is that him?" When Yan Song heard the news, his face immediately became solemn.

He had contact with Lin Haoran in the cabinet for a period of time, and he had a good impression of Lin Haoran. This is a very capable young man and very self-motivated, but these days he is too sharp.

It is said that with Lin Haoran's age and official position, he should choose to lie dormant when he returns to Beijing this time and boil up the shortcomings of his qualifications. It's just that Lin Haoran has repeatedly made repeated moves in order to protect the interests of Guangdong, but it is not a wise move.

At the moment, this kid came to face the saint, I am afraid that he has nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, but I don't know which one he wants to sing.

"Xiaguan has seen Lord Yuanfu!"

Lin Haoran also saw Yan Song's grandfather and grandson, and when they approached, he immediately stepped forward and saluted respectfully.

"Huh...... It turned out to be Lin Wenkui, how are you doing lately? Yan Song smiled and cared about Lin Haoran as if he was treating a junior.

Lin Haoran smiled slightly, and said again: "Lord Lao Yuanfu is concerned!" Thanks to Lord Yuanfu, everything has been fine lately! ”

"Huh...... That's good! Yan Song looked at Lin Haoran and nodded with satisfaction.

Lin Haoran knew that Yan Song had fallen out of favor, and when he saw Yan Hong holding a beautiful box in his hand, he said respectfully: "Lord Yuanfu, you are offering a treasure to the saint!" The lower officials don't dare to disturb, please! ”

"It's not a treasure, Yan Shifan just found a white lingzhi!" Yan Song didn't seem to be like a city government, and said directly.

Lin Haoran watched Yan Hong help Yan Song to leave, his heart suddenly moved, and he asked Yan Song seriously: "Lord Yuanfu, can you take a step to speak!" ”

Yan Hong's brows furrowed slightly, but Yan Song's cloudy eyes glanced at Lin Haoran, and then nodded lightly.

In the blink of an eye, it's mid-April.

The capital is the political center of the Ming Dynasty, and the most important thing has always been the gossip. Every day, all kinds of news are flying all over the sky, and they all say that they are exactly what they see, as if they have seen it with their own eyes, but a rumor has attracted widespread attention from the people in the north of the city.

Liu Ji's offering of white Lingzhi was soon learned by everyone, and according to a palace insider who knew the inside story, the Holy Lord would soon issue an order for Liu Ji to be "reinstated", and Lin Haoran, who was most likely to take over as the Yin of Shuntian Mansion, would be transferred to Dali Temple as Shaoqing.

As soon as the news came out, it immediately aroused the discussion between the scholars and the people in Beijing, but most of them were worried.

Shuntian Mansion Cheng and Dali Temple Shaoqing are both positive four products, and they are both the second in command of the Yamen. If it is transferred from a simple Shuntian Mansion to Dali Temple as a Shaoqing, this is undoubtedly a kind of "promotion", but from the acting Shuntian Mansion Yin to the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, it is more interpreted as a "failure".

It is precisely because of this that many people think that if this rumor is true, Lin Haoran's promotion is not necessarily a good thing.

"It can't be true, can it?"

"Why isn't it true, everyone else has taken out the white lingzhi!"

"I'm not talking about Liu Ji's return, I'm talking about how could Lin Fucheng be transferred?"

"I'm afraid the above doesn't want our Shuntian Mansion to make too much trouble, so I can only sacrifice Lin Fucheng!"

……

As this rumor spread in the Shuntian Mansion, the yamen became worried. Although many people don't want to believe this rumor, it's just that many facts are already in front of them, so they have to believe it.

It's just that this thing undoubtedly seems so cruel.

Many officials of the Shuntian Mansion have already bet their future on Lin Haoran, and now Lin Haoran not only failed to take over as the Yin of the Shuntian Mansion, but also has to be transferred out of the Shuntian Mansion, which is undoubtedly bad news for them.

Once Liu Ji returns, and Lin Haoran is transferred out of the Shuntian Mansion, it will be difficult for them to form a group to deal with Liu Ji again. At that time, let alone competing with Liu Ji, it would be good for them to be able to stand alone.

In the same way, after the news spread, many of them felt as if the sky was falling, while Chen Tongju and Sun Tongju were very excited, and even prepared to buy firecrackers to celebrate.

Officialdom is so ruthless, once you stand on the wrong team, it is very likely to ruin your career.

Just like back then, many officials chose to hug the thigh of Li Mo, the secretary of the ministry, but Li Mo was defeated, and Li Mo's remnants of the party naturally had to be liquidated. Wang Yongbin, the scholar of the Ministry of Rites, who originally had a bright career, was transferred to Nanjing for retirement because he was too close to Li Mo.

"Liu Ji is back!"

On the day the news spread, Liu Ji suddenly moved back to the Yahou Mansion of Shuntian Mansion. This move undoubtedly sent a clearer signal to the outside world, and everything proved that the rumor was true.
