Outside Wenyuan Pavilion, it was stormy. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Looking out of Zhang Siwei's duty room, the Wenhua Hall in the distance was in heavy rain.

The rain splashed on the eaves, but the room was still very hot because the windows were not opened.

However, at this moment, Lin Yanchao did not mean to be hot, and the second assistant Zhang Siwei looked at Lin Yanchao with narrow eyes, but his expression was calm.

Although Lin Yanchao had been mentally prepared, he was still a little apprehensive when he was questioned by Zhang Siwei like this. If someone else asks Lin Yanchao so unkindly, Lin Yanchao can not take it seriously at all, but now this person is the second assistant today, and if he is not careful, his official career will be over.

In Lin Yanchao's current situation, the first reaction was whether Zhang Siwei was aimed at himself?

Normal people will think so, who said that Lin Yanchao and Zhang Siwei have no grudges or hatred, but if you are not kind to yourself in the officialdom, others will be kind to you.

The cabinet is subordinate to the officials, the middle scholars, and the Hanlin is straight, and the evaluation is all determined by the cabinet itself. In other words, everyone in the cabinet has a background from any of the three current cabinet elders.

For example, several Lunzhi Hanlin, Lin Yanchao is Shen Shixing's protégé, Deng Yizan, and Liu Yukui are Zhang Juzheng's protégés. Zhang Siwei also has his own protégé.

And from Zhang Siwei's standpoint, Zhang Juzheng's protégé can't move, his own protégé doesn't have to move, and Lin Yanchao is sad, as Shen Shixing's protégé, he is obviously not his own person, and if he is not careful, he will easily be used as a model.

If you change someone else, you may be scared, but who is Lin Yanchao, the first champion of the Ming Dynasty, and so young, with a promising future, even if he can't enter the cabinet in the future, there is no pressure on the official to the third grade. What's more, he is a saint, and he has just been given a unicorn suit by the Son of Heaven.

Even if Lin Yanchao doesn't rely on anyone, doesn't rely on any background, and only talks about his own strength, Zhang Siwei, the 'marginal prime minister', really wants to think about himself, not to mention that he still has to worry about Shen Shixing.

After thinking about the 'comparison of the strength of the enemy and me', Lin Yanchao sat up straight, met Zhang Siwei's gaze, and acted with a clear conscience, what is there to be afraid of. Faced with Zhang Siwei asking him if he really didn't know or not, Lin Yanchao said without humility or arrogance: "Zhongtang, the lower officials really don't know." ”

Seeing that Lin Yanchao did not have the slightest look of weakness in front of him, Zhang Siwei adjusted his sitting posture and said: "Zong Hai, I asked you to come but ask a few things, if this matter is really not leaked by you, I will return your innocence." ”

Hearing Zhang Siwei's words, Lin Yanchao smiled in his heart, you still have some scruples about me in your heart. Lin Yanchao said with a sincere face: "Zhongtang has always been fair in everything, and the lower officials are trustworthy, please ask Zhongtang to ask!" ”

Zhang Siwei said: "Then you will talk about the Qingzhang Tianmu system that you handled yesterday." ”

Lin Yanchao said: "It's the middle hall, the lower official remembers that before noon yesterday, the edict room in the middle book will send this Qingzhang Shuntianfu Tianmu system to the edict room, after checking it, it was confirmed that there was no violation, so it was stamped with the official seal and sent to the cabinet to the middle of the matter. ”

Lin Yanchao is talking about the edict process, you must know that the decree issued by the Son of Heaven must be reviewed by the cabinet, if the cabinet feels that the content of the decree is inappropriate, it has the right not to do it, and the seal will be returned to the Son of Heaven.

This is another major power of the Cabinet Ministers, the 'right to refute'.

A decree that is not stamped without the consent of the cabinet is called a decree. As for the decree, the civil officials can not buy it, and it will be fine if they do not obey the decree. Therefore, in order to avoid being slapped in the face by the cabinet, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty either let the celebrant eunuch pass it orally before issuing the holy decree, or write his meaning in a small red note to the cabinet scholars, which is called the red book to the cabinet.

According to the meaning of the little red note of the Son of Heaven and his own understanding, the cabinet scholars drafted a piece of music. Of course, the cabinet scholars are so busy, it is impossible for them to see the grass for the Son of Heaven by themselves, and the important pieces of the recital will be roughly written and handed over to the people of the Zhongshushe of the Xifang system to make the edicts.

After the scholar in the west room finished writing, he took the edict to the east room and asked one of the five wheels to review and check it. After the wheel was confirmed to be correct, the two of them were stamped together.

This seal is called Guan Fang, the so-called Guan Fang, that is, Hanlin and Sheren take half of the seal, and cover it together after it is put together, so that it can take effect.

If it is not an urgent matter, the six departments stationed in the cabinet will take the system away and take it to the six department corridors at the Guiji Gate for review. The six sections must review the system within five days, and if the performance is not able to refute and return it, it is called the branch reference, which is also the second 'right to refute'.

If it is possible, the six branches will send the cantata to the Chinese calligraphy section at the Guiji Gate to write. After the Chinese calligraphy department has completed the writing in the format of the edict, it will be submitted to the imperial review. After reading the line, the Son of Heaven covered the imperial treasure, so that this holy decree could really take effect. As for Lin Yanchao's role in this incident, it is to review the system sent by the West Fang.

Zhang Siwei asked: "You said it was delivered at noon, when will it be delivered?" ”

Lin Yanchao replied: "Xia Guan watched half of the tea, and after reading it, he stamped it with Yu Zhongshu, put it in the official letter according to the rules, covered it with fire paint, and then handed it over to the cabinet with his own hands, and then went to eat." ”

Zhang Siwei asked: "Have you seen all the edicts sent by Yu Zhongshu, and you haven't missed a word?" ”

Lin Yanchao said: "The lower officials have seen it clearly, otherwise they will not confirm it and stamp the customs defense." ”

Zhang Siwei asked again: "When the seal is stamped, who will enter your duty room?" ”

"No one."

"Then during the cabinet period, who can you talk to about the things contained in the edict?"

"The lower officials have not."

"Then after the release of the government, have you told anyone about the things contained in the edict?"

"This matter involves national policy, it is a confidential matter, even if the lower officials have ten thousand guts, they dare not share it with anyone." Lin Yanchao heard Zhang Siwei say that he knew that it must be the secret of Qingzhang Shuntianfu Tianmu, and the other party came to him to investigate.

Of course, this matter was not leaked by Lin Yanchao, it is possible that Yu Zhongshu in the West Room and the six departments that reviewed the edict were given to the matter. Of course, I have this confidence, if I see Zhang Siwei asking you, I am afraid in my heart, and I will be in a mess, then it will be too cowardly.

But with his mouth open, there is no evidence, Zhang Siwei in front of him obviously did not believe his words, but since Lin Yanchao said it so clearly, his questioning was meaningless. Unless he has the evidence, or takes Lin Yanchao down for interrogation.

Zhang Siwei can't do this.

So Zhang Siwei pondered and said: "Lin Xiu's words, the cabinet department believes it, but this matter is very involved, don't tell others about today's matter, go back to do things." (To be continued.) )
