The other two cabinet ministers, except for Xu Jie, are Lu Ben. And Lu Ben was able to sacrifice wine from Nanjing to Ge Lao, but it was the result of Yan Song's single-handedness, and he could be said to be obedient to Yan Song.

As the two spoke, they came to the Wuyi Palace, which was the office of the Cabinet.

Emperor Jiajing moved to Xiyuan, and there was no office for his ministers at all. At first, the cabinet ministers would go back wherever they came from after the performance, which can be described as miserable.

After many invitations, Jiajing gave up the Wuyi Palace, and rebuilt the main hall and the left and right wings, which became the "value house" of the cabinet, for the cabinet members and ministers to work and rest.

Since the first two days were the period of Mu Mu, and Lin Haoran entered the West Garden early in the morning, the entire Wuyi Hall seemed empty.

Feng Bao was also familiar with this place, and directly took Lin Haoran into the main hall of the Wuyi Palace, the throne on the hall was still retained, but two office areas had been divided on both sides of the main hall.

"On the right is the duty room of the elder, and on the left is the office of the minister, the secretary and the cabinet official!" Feng Bao first pointed to the right, and then pointed to the left to introduce.

Lin Haoran followed his finger and looked at the door on the left, and saw exquisite seats. The layout is similar to that of the inspection hall, but the tables and chairs here are obviously more upscale, but I don't know which one belongs to him.

At this time, I heard a burst of anxious footsteps outside, and a voice complained: "I have already instructed you, if Lu Dudu enters the palace, you will wake me up quickly, why do you always do things slowly?" ”

Lin Haoran couldn't help but look back, but saw a cabinet official helping a white-haired old man up the steps, the old man's bun was a little loose, and he looked very anxious.

This was the first time he met Yan Song, a white-haired old man, with fluffy hair and a stiff back, his pace seemed to be very hurried, and he did not have the majesty of a powerful minister.

"He is Yan Ge Lao!" Feng Bao leaned into Lin Haoran's ear and said softly.

Lin Haoran was inevitably a little nervous in the face of this Ming Dynasty's current first assistant, and when Yan Song stepped in, he gave a long salute and said, "Xiaguan Hanlin Academy is the editor and the director of the ......." ”

"It's good that you're here, come and help!" Yan Song seemed to mistake Lin Haoran for someone else, and after giving an order, he went to the right.

Lin Haoran didn't expect that his office hadn't entered yet, but had entered the old man's duty room. He glanced at Feng Bao, and then followed Yan Song inside.

A council hall and four study rooms have been carved out here, and the largest one belongs to Yan Song.

"Quick! Look at the new recitals here, whether there is any Hu Zongxian's recital! Yan Hao pointed to a pile of playbooks on the table and hurriedly commanded.

The cabinet official's movements were very fast, and he immediately buried his head in looking for it.

Lin Haoran hesitated for a moment, but also helped to find it. It is said that a novice like him, who is not familiar with the business, is afraid that he will help more and more, but he seems to have a little bit of luck with a tiger girl, and he found it all at once, and then presented it to Yan Song.

He deliberately took a second look, but saw the words "Wang was directly recruited". Immediately knowing that the general direction of history had not changed, Wang Zhi wanted the Ming Dynasty to open the sea ban, and really chose to surrender.

Yan Hao was a little hunchbacked, but tall, with a speckled old face, his beard was already snow-white, but his complexion was not bad, and at this time, he saw Lin Haoran's face clearly, so he asked suspiciously: "Are you?" ”

Although Lin Haoran was Si Zhilang's "running official", he actually went to Yan's Mansion once, but he couldn't see Yan Hao himself, so he was Shi Lidao: "Xiaguan Hanlin Academy is also a Si Zhi......"

Before the words fell, a little eunuch ran in and said that the Holy Lord had summoned him. Seeing Feng Bao here, he whispered again: "Gonggong Feng, the ancestor is looking for you!" ”

Yan Song naturally didn't care about Lin Haoran's small role, so he followed the eunuch to the Wanshou Palace in a hurry, while still flipping through the book. Feng Bao also said goodbye to Lin Haoran guiltily and left.

All four left, leaving Lin Haoran alone.

However, he only stood outside the hall for a while, but saw two familiar figures walking over together.

"Xiaguan has seen Xu Ge Lao and Master Li!" Lin Haoran saluted towards Xu Jie and Li Chunfang.

Xu Ge Lao naturally came here to be on duty, and although Li Chunfang's office was in the Hanlin Academy, he was also an errand for the ministers. After Mu Mu for the past two days, he chose to come to the cabinet first.

"If you are stupid, you don't need to be polite!" Xu Jie's stature is short and thin, but he is wearing a red official robe, and the whole person looks majestic.

Li Chunfang naturally knew Lin Haoran, and the two had met several times in the Hanlin Academy, and even had lunch at the same table. At this time, standing behind Xu Jie, he nodded gently at Lin Haoran.

"Zishi, you take Ruoyu to familiarize yourself with the duty house, and bring him to me in a while!" Xu Jie looked at Lin Haoran with a smile, and then instructed Li Chunfang.

Li Chunfang received the order, and led Lin Haoran into the left, pointed out the public seat and a narrow small single room that belonged to him, and introduced a few colleagues who had just come in to him to get acquainted.

After the process was completed, he was led to Xu Jie's duty room again and officially met with Xu Ge Lao.

Xu Jie was very kind, got up from the desk, walked out and greeted him for a while, showing that he attached great importance to Lin Haoran, and said angrily: "You live in Lingshi Hutong, I live in Huaishu Hutong, and I don't see you come to visit me, an old man." ”

This neighborhood relationship can undoubtedly bring people closer.

After motioning for him to sit down, Xu Jie said earnestly: "This is not more than the Hanlin Academy, there will be more errands, and you have to deal with the six departments and Jiuqing often, you have to adapt as soon as possible." ”

"Xia Guan understands!" Lin Haoran nodded and replied seriously.

After Xu Jie returned to his position and sat down again, he seemed to appreciate Lin Haoran, and continued to instruct: "Although you are only Si Zhilang, you are also a member of the cabinet, and every move is under the nose of the saint. ”

The words stopped abruptly at this point, and Lin Haoran's heart "chuckled", and he immediately heard Xu Jie's off-string sound.

This is a very ordinary sentence, but it conveys a very important message. That is, Emperor Jiajing's desire for power is extremely heavy, and he will arrange people to spy on everyone in the cabinet, and will judge each of them, including him, Si Zhilang.

This is too important, he must change his previous casual work style, otherwise he will leave a bad impression on the saint, then he will not want to mix in the officialdom of Daming.

Lin Haoran didn't know how Xu Jie, Xu Jie, was guiding him, his face was also solemn, and he listened seriously.

"The Holy One is diligent, we should follow suit, if you can be diligent and diligent, the emperor will not treat you badly, do you understand?" Xu Jie arched his hand in the direction of Wanshou Palace, and asked seriously.

"Xia Guan understands!" Lin Haoran's face was solemn, and he also remembered these words in his heart.

"I know you're smart, and you're a genius that you haven't seen in a hundred years! It's just that the cabinet is no small matter, on anything...... Be cautious. As the saying goes: a hundred battles are better than one forbearance, and ten thousand words are better than a silence. Xu Jie stared at Lin Haoran, observing his reaction.

"The lower officials remember the teachings of the elder pavilion!" Lin Haoran bowed earnestly and took these teachings to heart. But he didn't expect that Xu Jie was like a bright light, and he simply taught him as a disciple.

From this day on, Lin Haoran also began his diligent and busy life as a cabinet secretary.
