Chapter 535: To the Prime Minister's Mansion Again
Poor children, ten years of cold windows, thousands of troops crossed the single-plank bridge, squeezed out countless people, and finally after being admitted to the Jinshi, he consciously got his breath, and from then on he could make a great career as an official, but he didn't know that the Jinshi was just at the foot of the mountain that had just come to the peak of power. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
With the intention of learning to become a scholar and a scholar of the emperor's family, and with the heart of a scholar and the Son of Heaven to rule the world together, he thinks that the Son of Heaven is the biggest official, and even if he starts from the county order, there is nothing at the moment, as long as he has a level of qualifications, he will eventually get ahead one day.
But in officialdom, this idea will be slapped in the face at any time.
You will personally see your immediate boss the prefect of the fourth grade, and all kinds of stammers with a Beijing official who only has a mere seven grades. Halfway through, I met a prime minister, and I had to nod my head. The brocade guards who wore flying fish suits when they entered and exited the palace never looked at you squarely. Even a random father-in-law who goes out of the palace to procure can call you around.
It's just a Beijing official, as for the prime minister's doorman, Jinyiwei, and eunuchs, they are all not from a scholar's background!
People are not even officials, or their official positions are not as good as you, why can they and pee on your head. As a result, people who read books can't help but be discouraged and doubt the meaning of reading.
To paraphrase a phrase from American dramas, power is like real estate, location is everything, and the closer you are to the center, the more valuable it is.
This is also applicable in the Ming Dynasty, being an official is just a way to get close to power.
If you want to get close to power, the most direct thing is to go to the emperor's side, if you want to see Tianyan, even every day, even the cabinet scholars don't have this opportunity, the most reliable way is to take a knife and enter the palace to be a father-in-law.
If there is still a way to see the Son of Heaven every day without being stabbed by this knife, there is only one way to do it every day.
Hanlin is nominally a close minister of the Son of Heaven, but there is still one step away, among the hundred officials, only the Japanese lecturer is really a minister.
After Lin Yanchao settled at home, he immediately changed his clothes into a leather robe and went directly to Shen Shi Xingfu.
When he arrived at Shen Shixing's mansion, the men all knew Lin Yanchao, and they didn't need to be connected, so they directly let Lin Yanchao go directly to the living room to rest.
A moment later, the chief butler Shen Jiu arrived. As soon as the other party saw Lin Yanchao, he smiled and said, "Brother Xian really wants to mess with me." ”
Lin Yanchao saw Shen Jiu's happiness in acting seven points, and three points in true feelings, and also smiled: "Brother Jiu, I also miss you." ”
The two exchanged a few words, and Lin Yanchao asked, "Is the teacher in the house?" ”
Shen Jiu smiled when he heard this and said, "Yes." The master also knew the news of the arrival of the virtuous brother in Beijing. ”
Lin Yanchao immediately said: "I don't know if the teacher can let me see each other." ”
Shen Jiu shook his head and said, "I'm afraid I can't do it today." ”
Lin Yanchao asked in surprise: "Teacher, are you riddled with mundane things today?" ”
"But no, it's just that the master said that when you come to Beijing this time, the first person you want to see is not him."
"This ...... I understand. Lin Yanchao immediately understood the key.
After a while, Lin Yanchao left the Shen Mansion, and Zhan Ming, who was on the side of the carriage, said in surprise: "Master, have you finished meeting the Shen Pavilion so soon?" ”
Lin Yanchao shook his head and said, "Don't ask more, drive immediately." ”
"Yes."
Immediately, Lin Yanchao arrived in front of a mansion in a carriage. Lin Yanchao has been to this mansion once, yes, it is Zhang Juzheng's prime minister's mansion.
At that time, Lin Yanchao was purely here to make soy sauce, but he was summoned by Zhang Juzheng and said something from the bottom of his heart. This time, Lin Yanchao came to thank Zhang Juzheng for bringing him to be a Japanese speaker.
Lin Yanchao thought to himself, Shen Shixing is really a good person, and he thinks deeply about everything. No matter how much Shen Shixing has done for himself behind his back, but in the matter of his appointment as an official, the first person to thank him on face must be Zhang Juzheng.
However, as far as Lin Yanchao is concerned, the first Xie Shen Shixing is also right to do so.
Lin Yanchao handed over the post to the official of the Prime Minister's Office.
When the disciple saw Lin Yanchao's post, he first showed surprise, but then smiled and said: "It turned out to be Lin Zhongyun, go to the gatehouse to rest first, and wait for a certain minister." ”
"Okay, I'm tired."
After saying that, Lin Yanchao sealed the door bag, and it was a full five taels of gold and silver, and the official was sent out like this for half a month.
The door bag quickly worked, Lin Yanchao only waited for a moment in the concierge of the Prime Minister's Mansion, but when he saw a person coming to the concierge, he said: "The champion has made you wait for a long time." ”
This person, Lin Yanchao, knew that it was Zhang Juzheng's confidant You Qi.
This You Qi is a Qin Palace, Feng Zidu-like figure, and officials privately commented that he is 'good at serving the lord and anger', which means that he serves such a difficult character as Zhang Juzheng very well. However, as far as Lin Yanchao knew, You Qi was not really so proud.
When Lin Yanchao was in the cabinet, he heard about You Qi.
In order to tie up You Qi, Li Xuan of the six subjects married the sister of You Qi's concubine as the side room, and the two of them cultivated a good son-in-law. But as a result, Zhang Juzheng was furious when he found out about this, and first arrested You Qi to enforce the family law and whipped dozens of them. After beating You Qi half to death, Zhang Juzheng called Li Xuan again and reprimanded him in person, and then ordered the two to divorce the two sisters and never see each other again.
Despite this incident, You Qi is still very trusted by Zhang Juzheng, and the officials are all vying for things You Qi is a brother, and the six servants must call him Mr. Chu Bin when he sees him. has no job or quality in the capital, but in addition to You Qi, there is also Feng Bao's doorman Xu Jue, as for Shen Jiu, he is far from being ranked at the moment, but it will be a matter of time in the future.
On weekdays, in the cabinet and official exchanges, Lin Yanchao and You Qi also deal with each other, which is closer than a general acquaintance. The two met, and Lin Yanchao said with a smile: "It's only been a while, Mr. Chu Bin hasn't seen him for a long time." ”
You Qi laughed and said: "It's really like every other autumn, the champion has been reduced, how can the champion come to see the prime minister?" ”
"Yes."
You Qidao: "Xiangye is seeing guests, you have to wait first, and after a while, when Xiangye is free, I will help you say a word, go over and meet." ”
Zhang Juzheng was able to find time to meet Lin Yanchao in his 'busy schedule'. Lin Yanchao had to be 'grateful' and said, "Thank you Mr. Chu Bin so much." ”
So Lin Yanchao sat in the gatehouse and waited.
After waiting for more than an hour, it was already dark, and there were palm lamps inside and outside the Prime Minister's Mansion.
One of the people came to Lin Yanchao and said, "Champion Gong, Xiangye summoned you." ”
"Thank you."
So Lin Yanchao followed his subordinates around the prime minister's mansion to the place where Zhang Juzheng saw the guests.
But I saw Zhang Juzheng sitting on the couch with his eyes closed, and several maids on the side were cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks on a pear wood table, it seemed that they had just finished eating.
I haven't seen him for half a year, Zhang Juzheng is still dignified, even if he closes his eyes, he can feel it. Although there was a low stool next to him, Lin Yanchao couldn't sit on it, so he could only stand with his bow.
After a while, Zhang Juzheng opened his eyes, then picked up the tea bowl and said, "It's Zong Hai here!" (To be continued.) )
