Everyone stood up and watched Wu Shan leave, knowing that Wu Shan and Guo Pu might have a lot to talk about, and it was impossible to return to the banquet, and this family banquet was already over.

With Wu Shan leaving, Lin Haoran became the backbone of everyone, and the atmosphere became a lot more relaxed.

Yang Futian took off his good baby's disguise, approached Lin Haoran from the table next to him, and proposed excitedly: "Next year's Jingcha will be presided over by Guo Pu, do we want to use this opportunity to let the brothers show their faces in front of him?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Xiao Jinian and the others looked at Lin Haoran one after another, and their eyes were obviously full of hope. If they can be in front of Guo Pu tonight, with their teacher's friendship with Guo Pu, next year's Jingcha will definitely be able to be "taken care of".

Why did those local officials do everything possible to show their faces in front of Guo Pu during the inspection this year, and even did not hesitate to curry favor with Guo Pu's domestic servants, just because they wanted to get a trace of "care" from Guo Pu.

Lin Haoran's heart moved, for their group of Beijing officials, the most important thing was the six-year Jingcha. For example, whether the director of the six departments is promoted to a foreign officer or an external place depends on the results of this external inspection.

It's just that in the eyes of everyone's hope, he shook his head lightly and said: "The imperial court has put Jingcha in the regular year of next year, and it is only May, and I don't know if he is a friend or an enemy with Guo Pu in the future, this matter should not be rushed!" ”

As he spoke, Lin Haoran's eyes looked at everyone honestly. The matter involves everyone's most important personal interests, and he does not dare to be careless, but strives for everyone to accept his point of view.

"Guo Pu and his mentor are in the same year, and their relationship has always been good, so the two of them won't turn against each other, right?" Yang Futian frowned and asked suspiciously.

Everyone also nodded slightly, looking at Lin Haoran in confusion, resolutely agreeing with Yang Futian's point of view.

Before Lin Haoran could reply, Xiao Jinian on the side shook his head and said, "This is true!" It is true that the teacher and Guo Shangshu are on good terms, but the two of them are one step away from the ministers, and it is difficult to guarantee that there will be a fierce conflict. Speaking of this, he paused and said, "Don't forget, Gao Yao and his teacher are also in the same department, and their relationship is ...... It's also good! ”

The words stop at this point, but the meaning is already self-evident.

After Yang Futian and the others listened to Xiao Jinian's words, they knew that officialdom was indeed capricious, and they knew that Lin Haoran was more prescient. Although now is an opportunity to show your face, it is not a good move to rush to show your face.

Lin Haoran secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, but he didn't want everyone to attach too much importance to climbing power, so he said seriously: "Whether there can be a good result in the year of Jingcha next year is not actually whether we can catch Guo Pu's line, but what our own strength is, and whether we can occupy a certain right to speak in Jingcha!" ”

"Senior brother is right, the key lies in ourselves!" Yang Futian immediately responded, and continued with a twinkle in his eyes: "A few months ago, Guo Zhifu wanted to make a big move against the local officials in Guangdong, but the senior brother Shangshu impeached him, what was the result? ”

Everyone's eyes are also bright, and naturally they will not forget Lin Haoran's feat.

Lin Haoran's astonishing move not only did not hurt him, but also forced Guo Pu to make concessions, and he had a great say in the personnel of local officials in Guangdong.

Lin Haoran saw the opportunity and immediately struck while the iron was hot: "As long as we unite as one and make certain achievements in our positions, I believe we can all have a good result!" If you really encounter injustice, not to mention that we still have teachers, even if I can complain about Guo Pu for you! ”

"Thank you, Senior Brother, for your teachings!" Xiao Jinian and the others glanced at each other, and thanked Lin Haoran.

At this moment, they also understood the meaning of Lin Haoran's words.

Although Guo Pu is the host of Jingcha, he does not have to kneel to him. As long as they can unite and show strength that Guo Pu is afraid of, then most of them can have a good result.

Since Wu Shan had already left the table, it was impossible for everyone to let go of the carnival at this family banquet of the teacher.

Yang Futian followed Lin Haoran and exchanged glances first, and then said goodbye: "Senior brother, then I will say goodbye first, and please tell the teacher!" ”

With Yang Futian taking the lead, the others also left the table one after another and followed Lin Haoran to say goodbye.

Lin Haoran himself is Wu Shan's son-in-law, and he has just shouldered Wu Shan's advice to help take care of him, and he is also such a master at the moment. He sent Yang Futian and the others directly to the door, followed them to say goodbye one by one, and then headed towards the study.

Although he will never be able to "raise his head" in front of Wu Shan, he has been able to look at it calmly in the face of Guo Pu, not to mention that there is only a two-level difference between the two sides, and his personal promotion is no longer in Guo Pu's hands.

After coming to the study, Lin Haoran looked at the two people sitting at the tea table and chatting happily, and the atmosphere seemed to be very harmonious. Guo Pu no longer has the arrogant appearance of the official book, and he is like a good friend in front of Wu Shan.

Guo Pu is a native of Henan Province and appears in the Ministry of Officials, but he is also under pressure. Although as long as he gets the grace of the saint, even if Yan Song wants to get rid of him, it is not easy, but people have no long-term concerns.

Now that he learned that Wu Shan had been reactivated by the Holy Lord and held the position of the head of the household department, he naturally wanted to win over. Especially throughout the Ming Dynasty, there is no one with a higher reputation than Wu Shan.

The most important thing is that although Wu Shan was completely planted this time, it was not a blessing in disguise. was idle because of his admonition to the emperor, and now he has come back because of the fall of Gao Yao, and his reputation in Shilin has reached a higher level.

If Yan Song and Xu Jie were to take office, I am afraid that the court would recommend Wu Shan as the new first assistant, instead of Yuan Wei, who entered the cabinet first, or him, a high-ranking official.

Lin Haoran entered the study and saluted Guo Pu respectfully: "Xiaguan has seen Lord Tianguan!" ”

"No need to be polite! Brother Jing, you have such a good son-in-law, you are really like a tiger with wings! Guo Pu nodded at Lin Haoran with a smile, and then said a pun to Wu Shan.

Officialdom has never had an absolute enemy, only eternal interests. Although in terms of personnel in Guangdong, Lin Haoran and Guo Pu were once incompatible, but the current meeting does not seem to have any unhappiness in the past.

Guo Pu also has less prejudice against Lin Haoran, but more appreciation.

This time, if it weren't for Lin Haoran's move, finding out the secret of Gao Yao's financial management, and dragging Gao Yao down from the position of the head of the household, Wu Shan would definitely have no possibility of making a comeback.

Now, Wu Shan has a capable son-in-law like Lin Haoran to help, which is indeed not to be underestimated. Wu Shan may not only enter the cabinet before him, but even become the first assistant in front of him.

Wu Shan's face also looked a little proud, but he still maintained his usual gentlemanly style, and shook his head modestly and gently: "Brother Qianfu, you have a good reputation!" ”

Lin Haoran seemed to be in order, and after meeting Guo Pu, he made a simple report to Wu Shan about the departure of Yang Futian and the others.

Guo Pugang brought the tea to his mouth, and when he heard that Wu Shan had just followed thirteen protégés to the family banquet, his heart was mixed.
