As soon as Wu Daoxing's eyelids raised, he knew what Lin Haoran's idea was, but he sighed and said: "Your life is still a little worse, if there is no noble person to help, this matter will hang!" ”

"Where is the nobleman?" Lin Haoran couldn't help but feel bitter in his heart, this product was all the routine of street fortune tellers in later generations, but he also followed his words and asked.

Wu Daoxing picked up a peanut grain with chopsticks, threw it into his mouth in a chic manner, chewed it a few times leisurely, and then shook his head with chopsticks and said: "Far away in the sky, close in front of you!" ”

"You?" Lin Haoran's eyes narrowed, and he had the urge to smash this liar's sign, this cheeky is too thick-skinned!

Wu Daoxing glared at him, and spit out two words angrily: "Your sister!" ”

"Believe it or not, I'll pump you!" Lin Haoran's face was slightly cold, he didn't expect this product to dare to scold.

Wu Daoxing looked at his unkind face, and knew that this person had misunderstood, so he explained: "I'm talking about your sister Tiger Girl!" ”

Lin Haoran sweated for a while, and dared to really misunderstand, but he just turned his head to look at the tiger girl who was swinging in the courtyard with a rice bowl, but said suspiciously: "Tiger girl? How could she help me with such a thing? ”

"Tao begets one, one begets two, two begets three, and three begets all things! Is there an absolute strength or weakness in the world, Ling Shuanghou is just a persimmon village, but he saved the Great Ancestor, thus affecting the trend of the world! Wu Daoxing stroked his beard lightly and said with an unfathomable expression.

Lin Haoran is now a historian, but he also knows the allusion of this "Lingshuang Hou".

It is said that Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang was young, and once he was dying of hunger, and when he passed through a village called Jichai Village, he saw a persimmon tree with persimmons at the edge of the village, and it was the persimmons on this tree that kept him from starving to death. Later, Taizu made a fortune, and he named this persimmon tree that "saved him" as Lingshuang Hou.

It's one thing to just know, and it's another to believe those words.

He is an extremely rational person, and he only knows that Wu Shan and the three pavilion elders who decide whether he can be promoted or not, as well as the saints who live deep in the palace. As for the tiger girl, although she is a person who is not afraid of heaven and earth, she definitely has no ability to influence these big shots.

After eating, Lin Haoran went out.

He took the gift to the locust tree alley next door and knocked directly on the gate of the Xu Mansion.

After entering the cabinet, he also "studied" these big people, trying to understand their personalities. In the end, it was concluded that Yan Song was an old man holding heavy weight, Xu Jie was a Mianli hidden needle type, and Lu Ben was a conscientious type.

After his observation, Yan Song is indeed not a simple character. In particular, he can let go of the posture of the first assistant, and even live in the palace all year round to listen to the dispatch of the saint, and they all say that "distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors", Yan Song's position can be described as stable as Mount Tai.

However, Lin Haoran is clearly familiar with the trend of history, Xu Jie finally replaced the elderly Yan Song and became the first assistant of the new generation of the Ming Dynasty, and Yan Song couldn't even afford a coffin when he died.

Although the current situation is favorable to Yan Song, if Lin Haoran chooses political speculation, he will naturally choose Xu Jie. And now that he wants to go further, he needs a pavilion elder to help push him, and Xu Jie is undoubtedly the best candidate.

Soon, the housekeeper walked out, leading the way, and said with a smile: "Lin Xiuxiu, our master is still talking about you, telling our third young master that I want to learn from you!" ”

"The elder Ge is a mistake!" Lin Haoran pretended to be modest.

He followed the butler through the front yard, through a long corridor, and soon arrived at Xu Jie's study.

As soon as he crossed the threshold, a smiling voice came from inside: "Ruoyu is here." ”

"I've seen Elder Ge!" Lin Haoran entered the door and saluted in the direction of the voice.

"You may be seated!" Xu Jie's eyes were shining, revealing a sense of intimacy.

After these years of contact, he also saw that Lin Haoran was a manufacturable material. Especially today's errand, to be able to invite that old fox to the cabinet is undoubtedly a manifestation of ability.

If anything, this man is too young. Being young is a kind of capital, like he is twenty years younger than Yan Song, which is a natural advantage, but being too young is often a constraint on promotion. Even if it is another twenty years, Lin Haoran is only thirty-seven years old, and at most he will be a six-book book, which is definitely not enough to enter the cabinet.

Xu Jie's study is very ordinary, but there are a lot of books, and the two of them sit across the desk.

The maid offered the tea, and then quietly withdrew.

After some greetings, Lin Haoran put down the teacup and said straight to the point: "I heard that my uncle wants to participate in the compilation of "Talking about the Past and the Present", but I don't know whether it is true or not? ”

Xu Jie's heart moved, he looked up at him with a smile, this was undoubtedly a very clever temptation, and he was even more convinced that this was a little fox, and nodded slightly: "He mentioned it to me, but he is a little interested!" ”

"Then I'll get him involved in the third issue!" When Lin Haoran heard this reply, he immediately said cheerfully.

He now has a request for Xu Jie, but he is not related to Xu Jie, how can he let this pavilion elder help him wave the flag? The best way is naturally to exchange interests, and "Talking about the Past and the Present" is the biggest bargaining chip in his hands, and it is undoubtedly a sweetness for Zhang Juzheng to participate.

"If that's the case, the old man will thank you for him!" Xu Jie took a sip of tea, looked at Lin Haoran seriously, and said with a smile.

Lin Haoran was sure that there was a play, so he said pretendly: "It's a matter of effort!" If I am transferred out of the repair and inspection hall in the future, it will be difficult for me to meddle in the matter of "Talking about the Past and the Present". With the talents of the uncle and brother, he will definitely be able to pick up this burden. ”

These words are already very explicit, and they also show Lin Haoran's true intention, to exchange the editor-in-chief of "Talking about the Past and the Present" for being promoted to the position of Hanlin Waiter.

Xu Jie naturally guessed the purpose of Lin Haoran's visit tonight, stirred the tea with the tea lid, and said with a smile: "Speaking of which, you can compete for this Hanlin waiter!" ”

"I want to hear about it!" Lin Haoran knew that Xu Jie was tempted, and said seriously

"Transferring you to the cabinet to serve as Si Zhilang, although there is an old man's proposal, but the saint immediately agrees, and his impression of you is excellent!" Xu Jie took a sip of tea and said with a smile.

In today's Jiajing Dynasty, there are no longer so many rules for promotion. As long as the grace is shrouded, it can only take a short six years from entering the office to the first assistant.

"What should the lower officials do?" Lin Haoran earnestly asked.

"If Wu Shangshu gives you a good review, I will help you say a few good words!" Xu Jie put down the teacup, looked up at him and said.

"Ge Lao is so loving, I am grateful!" Lin Haoran achieved the purpose of this trip, got up and saluted respectfully.

This is undoubtedly a game of exchange of interests, Lin Haoran threw out the sweets of "Talking about the Past and the Present", so as to seek the position of Hanlin waiter.

This "Talking about the Past and the Present" is actually very attractive to Xu Jie, because the officials have been completely controlled by the strict party, so Xu Jie has focused on the official system.

This speaker has a natural advantage, that is, whenever he is in Beijing, he will not easily get rid of the speaker. This official is doing the work of offending people, so he is extremely united, and those who dare to pounce on them will inevitably be labeled as "minions" and use the advantages of the official to fight back.

It is precisely because of this that Jingcha has never easily burned the official system, which has gradually become an unspoken rule of officialdom.

Xu Jie has a deep power in the Yanguan system, and disciples like Wu Shizhonglai are actually one of his pawns. If he gets "Talking about the Past and the Present", it will undoubtedly be like a tiger with wings, and it will have an excellent effect on his strategy.

After saying that, Lin Haoran got up and said goodbye, he knew that it was not difficult to take out "Talking about the Past and the Present" to get Xu Jie's support, but the problem was still in Wu Shan.
