After Lin Yanchao finished speaking, the officials were all moved.

The officials of the DPRK have always emphasized articles over speeches.

In terms of articles, under the surface of speeches, Lin Yanchao is already a Wenzong today, but he didn't expect that the speech was also unparalleled in the world.

Hearing that the students of Guozijian knocked on the que, Lin Yanchao took a seat, and the scholar retreated in convincing, which became his reputation. And when he was promoted to the prefect of Guide and left office, no matter which speech he made, it was said to be touching.

These words are extremely sincere, and the change in Lin Yanchao's mood from studying to becoming an official, demoting an official and re-entering Beijing is clear.

Dissect your mind and tell it to those who know and don't know you.

Lin Sanyuan is not so noble as soon as he appears, the so-called "Xiu Qi Zhiping" four words, in fact, is 'the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility'.

Lin Sanyuan is no different from us, it's just that people don't do the thing of 'taking the world as their own responsibility' in poor scholars, and they only think about their own future as an official when they are officials.

Is this hard to do?

It's not hard to say, it's hard to say.

Following Lin Yanchao left and right, Chen Jichuan, Tao Wangling, and Yuan Keli all knew how difficult it was for him to come step by step.

It is difficult to do things, and it is even more difficult to combine knowledge and action.

Just as Lin Yanchao was saying goodbye to everyone, an officer and soldier hurried over and whispered a few words to Tao Wangling.

Tao Wangling's face changed, and he hesitated whether to tell Lin Yanchao about the matter, but Lin Yanchao, who still stepped forward to talk to the officials, said, "Teacher, there is something important to do." ”

Lin Yanchao said: "I am now resigned, if it is a matter in the house, just tell He Sima, you don't have to come and talk to me." ”

He Tongzhi hurriedly said: "Futai is serious. ”

But seeing that two officers and soldiers were taken to the hall, the first officer and soldier knelt down as soon as he saw Lin Yanchao. Lin Yanchao waved his hand and said: "I have resigned, and all the big and small matters in the house will be handled by the second government, and you can tell him." ”

The officer and soldier immediately kowtowed to He Tongzhi, and then said: "Master Qiqi, Master Sima, today I received a 'sheep report' floating down the river from the river. ”

Hearing the sheep report, everyone present changed color.

The crowd looked at another officer and soldier, but they saw that this man was short in stature, in ragged clothes, and his hands and feet were bruised.

He Tongzhi asked: "This person is the warrior who sent the 'sheep report'?" ”

The officer and soldier kowtowed, but when he saw so many officials at once, he was too nervous to know how to speak.

Generally, if the upper reaches of the Yellow River are flooded, the water situation is serious. The upstream state capital will send a 600-mile expedited stagecoach to report to the downstream state capitals, and if the water situation is particularly serious, even the 600-mile expedited stagecoach is too slow.

Then the upper state capital would summon a warrior to float directly on a sheepskin raft from the upper reaches of the Yellow River to the lower reaches to deliver the message.

Rafting from the upper reaches of the Yellow River to the lower reaches of the Yellow River on a sheepskin raft to transmit messages is a life of death. Therefore, it is necessary to have extraordinary courage and be familiar with the nature of the water to serve. This person eats the 'no hunger pill' before entering the water, carries dozens of water sticks, traces the river straight down to the downstream to cast the lot, if the luck is particularly good, he will be caught up by the patrol ship on the way, but generally he is dead.

"Which province are you from?"

"Shaanxi!" The officer and soldier said, and everyone was shocked that they had drifted for hundreds of miles, and they could actually get here.

The officers and soldiers presented the water sticks to He Tongzhi.

The water sign didn't say much, but all the officials knew that if they were forced to report the situation of the river downstream in such a way as a sheep newspaper, then the flood situation would be so serious.

When Lin Yanchao had just stepped down and He Tongzhi had just taken office, such a thing happened.

He Tongzhi has some six gods without masters, and Wu Tongju on the side is even more like an ant on a hot pot, spreading his hands and saying: "If you can't help it, if you can't help it, if you can't help it, it's bitter, it's bitter." ”

And Ma Tong judged He Tongzhi, Wu Tong judged the two of them like this, they didn't have the slightest confidence, looked at Lin Yanchao and said: "Lord Futai! ”

Chen Jichuan on the side immediately said: "Don't drive, our master has already resigned, not the prefect, and this matter should be decided by He Sima." ”

Chen Jichuan decisively refused, and then he was also bent on throwing the pot for Lin Yanchao.

The Son of Heaven issued an order to summon Lin Yanchao to Beijing this time, obviously with the intention of reuse, and he was not to blame for Lin Yanchao's advice in the past.

Moreover, the holy decree said immediately, and he also gave a stagecoach to enter Beijing. It shows that Lin Yanchao can't stay for a moment, if he is delayed on the road, it won't be a loss of face for the Son of Heaven.

Even if two friends were a little out of harmony in the past, and now they take the initiative to show favor to you, but you don't buy it, this can't be justified.

What's more, people are the Son of Heaven!

As for Tao Wangling, Yuan Keli also knew this in his heart, but they were a little embarrassed.

In the hearts of the readers, according to the saying that the people are noble and the monarch is light, of course, the people under the rule are the most important.

Now that the flood is coming, Lin Yanchao left at this time, and he was suspected of abandoning the people. Of course, everyone knows that Lin Yanchao has stepped down. But when it comes to other people's mouths, where will they study these seriously, which is really not good for Lin Yanchao's reputation.

Didn't you, Lin Yanchao, make a blunt admonition and persuade the Son of Heaven to put the people first? Now that the Son of Heaven has given you a little benefit, you forget about it, and rush to slap others and slap yourself in the face.

He Tongzhi also looked at Wu Tongju, in the past, Lin Yanchao made decisions by one person on all matters in the house, and everyone was used to it.

Now that Lin Yanchao has resigned, He Tongzhi has always been an idle official before, and now he has just taken office, and the people are not convinced. Wu Tongju's rhetoric is okay, but he has to shoulder the responsibility and run faster than anything else.

The officials present were all so thoughtful, and it was not easy for him to guess what Lin Yanchao was thinking in his heart at this time.

For them, Lin Yanchao left the best, with a backbone, but it was not easy to open this mouth. He Tongzhi also has the intention to let Lin Yanchao stay, but if he keeps it, he can't open it.

Wu Tongju looked left and right, He Tongzhi is not easy to say, and the remaining officials belong to him who has the most authority. So Wu Tong sentenced the old man to sell the old way: "It's really all in one place, Futai has been in office for three years, and the Yellow River has nothing to do." Now on the first day of resignation, this sheep newspaper came. You said that this is a coincidence or not, you can tell the story of this story. ”

Saying that, Wu Tongju laughed to himself, but no one present echoed it.

Wu Tong saw that the scene was cold, and he coughed lightly and smiled: "It seems that this dragon king is selling the face of Futai, but the matter of going to Beijing cannot be delayed, I see if I can think of a way to get the best of both worlds." ”

"What's the best of both worlds?"

Everyone was surprised that Wu Tongju could come up with a clever plan.

But seeing Wu Tong's judgment: "This official has a fool's gain, before the Hecao Yamen, the officials along the river were held responsible, and if the embankment is guarded, the officials must not leave without permission." Therefore, Futai can cut first and then play, and after the river situation is over, Futai sent a letter to the Yamen of Hecao, asking Pan Zhitai to explain to the Son of Heaven that Futai has temporarily suspended its entry into Beijing due to the matter of the upstream flood, so the Son of Heaven will not pursue it. ”

When everyone heard this, they looked at each other.

Good fool.

Chen Jichuan couldn't help but reprimand: "According to what Wu Beijia said, Pan Zhitai's words are bigger than the holy order? ”

As soon as Chen Jichuan said this, Tao Wangling and Yuan Keli both scolded in their hearts, what a bad idea, according to Wu Tong's judgment, Lin Yanchao disobeyed his orders and dragged Pan Jitao into the water.

Even if Pan Jitao and Lin Yanchao have a friendship again, they will scold you after receiving the letter, Lin Yanchao can harm himself, don't come to harm my old Pan.

Wu Tongju didn't take this into account, and now he was sarcastically reacted by Chen Jichuan, but he still knew his mistake and didn't change: "This is not what the official meant, the official said that he will not be subject to the orders of the monarch outside." This matter of governing the river can't be done without a government. ”

Chen Jichuan wanted to say more, but Lin Yanchao stretched out his hand and said, "Jichuan can't be rude to Wu Beijia. ”

Seeing that Lin Yanchao finally spoke, He Tongzhi immediately asked, "I don't know what Futai thinks about this matter?" ”

Lin Yanchao said: "He Beijia, colleagues, since the time Lin received the order, he has already resigned, and he is no longer the prefect of the mansion, and he should not say much about the big and small things in the mansion." But if he didn't believe in it, he inquired about the river, so Lin said a few words as an outsider. ”

"Dare to ask all of you, if Lin did not fulfill his duties and return to morality, would you not govern the river and not resist the water? The matter of water control was originally handled by Lin himself, and no one here knew better than Lin about river workers, but why did Lin repair the river in the house for three years? It is to build a good embankment that will not be broken for a hundred years, so that the people of this province will not suffer from the river from now on,"

"Now that I have just stepped down, you are worried that the embankment will not be able to withstand the flood, does this mean that Lin and you have been working for nothing for three years?"

He Tongzhi said that Wu Tong's face was flushed when Lin Yanchao asked.

Lin Yanchao said with a straight face: "Lin has confidence in you, and he also has confidence in the embankment he has built with his own hands in the past three years. No matter how fierce the river situation is this year, no matter how big the river situation is, it will not be able to break the embankment of Guide, and Guide will be safe and sound, which is Lin's self-confidence in being an official for three years. ”

"No one asks about the cold window for ten years, once you become famous and known to the world, this is the case when you are studying, and the same is true for officials. After three years of work, now it is time to test whether it is real gold, Lin will not look down on himself, and please don't look down on himself. Next, I ask He Sima to preside over everything, and Lin will take the order to go to Beijing, and I will say goodbye to you here! ”

"Yes, Lord Futai." He Tongzhi said that Wu Tong sentenced all the officials to Lin Yanchao.

Lin Yanchao nodded, and immediately strode out of the court, Chen Jichuan, Tao Wangling, Yuan Keli and others followed proudly.

Along the way, the officials all avoided the side and saluted Lin Yanchao.

The officials looked at Lin Yanchao's back and remembered the sentence 'No one asks about the cold window for ten years, and once you become famous, the world will know'. Lin Yanchao is now like a scholar who has just entered the examination room, he didn't read the papers, so he said to the scholars who took the same exam left and right that he would definitely be able to go to high school this time.

If you change someone else, others will definitely laugh at you!

But for Lin Sanyuan, who dares to laugh?

This is the self-confidence of scholars and capable ministers.

After Lin Yanchao walked into the back hall, it represented the official end of his tenure in Guide.

At this time, Huang Yue of the government said: "He Sima, the official has only checked it, and the counties along the river have reported that the matter of repairing the river this year has been completed." ”

Shen Tongzhi withdrew his gaze at Lin Yanchao and asked, "Oh? ”

"Before Futai left office, he had already completed the assessment of the river workers in various counties, and half an hour ago he went to the workshop to confirm the matter." Huang Yue said.

All the officials were relieved when they heard this, Lin Yanchao had resisted two floods in the Fuqiu River in the first two years of his tenure, and this year Lin Yanchao spent all his energy on repairing the embankment and mending leaks.

When the deed is done, leave the merit to the comer.

This is what Lin Yanchao said when he took office, the success does not have to be in me, it is left to future generations.

Now the river has turned harm into benefit, the embankment has been in place for a hundred years, and everyone lives and works in peace and contentment!

Compared with the countless predecessors who will not be able to succeed, Lin Yanchao has been in office for three years, the people have food and clothing, leaving a strong embankment, and there are tens of thousands of taels of surplus silver in the treasury.

If something goes wrong again, the officials are really sorry for Lin Yanchao.

Now all the officials are looking at He Tongzhi.

He Tongzhi put on a full official hat and said to the officers and soldiers kneeling on the side: "You risked death to send a sheep report from the floating water upstream, which is really a great contribution to this mansion." Such a great achievement, how can you not be rewarded, Ben Cheng will now reward you with a hundred taels of silver, plus a pot of hot wine! ”

The status of the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty was low, even if they risked death to report the news, they were generally rewarded with a dozen taels of silver. But He Tongzhi rewarded one hundred taels at once, which is really a big reward.

When the officer and soldier heard this, he said gratefully: "Thank you...... Thank you, Sima. ”

The officer and soldier kowtowed several times, and then went down to receive the reward.

As a public person, they are all shrewd people, and all the officials admired He Tongju when they saw this scene. There are a lot of things for the new officials to take office, and the first thing He Tongzhi does is to reward and punish them, and this hand is really high.

All the officials muttered: "He Tongzhi is also a powerful person, why didn't he see it in the past?" ”

"Yes, the government knows people and is good at their duties, so He Tongzhi was recommended to the imperial court. If Wu Tong sentences such an official in charge, we will be miserable. ”

After rewarding the people, He Tongzhi continued: "Immediately summon the officials of the government to discuss the situation of the river, and as for the county officials, they will immediately return to their jurisdiction, and together with the officials in charge of the river, they must personally go up the embankment to inspect the ......."

"Ladies and gentlemen, Ben Cheng is here to take charge, as soon as the flood comes, the embankment is there, and if the embankment collapses, people will die......"

In the public court, He Tongzhi gave orders to the officials, and all the officials worked non-stop to fight the flood.

In the back hall of the mansion, Lin Yanchao, who had just stepped down, was busy packing up with Lin Qianqian.

This night the river flood came, and then it rained heavily and the river swelled......

Officials of all sizes were busy with the work of controlling the river, and the people of the whole government were mobilized overnight to patrol the river embankment and carry earth......

And the next day in the backyard of the government.

The heavy rain was pouring down, and when Lin Yanchao was about to get into the carriage with Xiao Yanchao in his arms, he stopped to look at the heavy rain that blocked the sky.

Chen Jichuan was busy directing his subordinates to carry the luggage onto the carriage, but the rain was roaring, muffling the voice.

Lin Yanchao smiled and wrapped Xiao Yanchao in his clothes, and then showed that he held an umbrella and got into the carriage.

Lin Qianqian waited in the carriage early, picked up Xiao Yanchao and got into the car, and saw that he was not wet, Fang breathed a sigh of relief.

After Xiao Yanchao got into the carriage, he was not afraid of the heavy rain outside the car, but was excited.

Seeing this scene, Lin Yanchao wiped the rain on his clothes while smiling at Lin Qianqian.

At this moment, Zhanming was already driving the car, and the carriage passed through the gate of the backyard of the government. Ride in the rain.

It was raining heavily on this day, and the sky was not yet dawn.

Lin Yanchao didn't inform any officials, let alone alarm the people, and quietly left the city of Guide with his small entourage and embarked on the journey to Beijing.
