"Lin Xiu, meet again. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 Listening to Zhang Juzheng's words, Lin Yanchao figured out what he meant.

When they met for the first time, the two met in his private house, and that meeting was Zhang Juzheng on a whim. At that time, Zhang Juzheng was wearing a swallow's suit and asked the Son of Heaven to pay tribute, and at that time, Lin Yanchao was just a newcomer to the officialdom, a little Hanlin. Therefore, the conversation between the two is purely private.

Now is the second time the two have met, Zhang Juzheng has made a comeback, wearing a first-class official robe and sitting at the top, he is the most powerful person today, and his little Hanlin has just passed the rookie period of officialdom, entered the Wenyuan Pavilion to do things, and became a cabinet official.

So what does Zhang Juzheng mean by this?

Judging from this sentence, meeting again seems to be reminiscing, and it seems that they want to continue their last topic.

But Lin Yanchao thought about it carefully, no, the status and occasions are different. The last time they were in a private house, this time they were in the Wenyuan Pavilion straight room.

The last time we met privately, this time we dealt with it on business. Last time, the two had nothing to do with each other, but this time he was a cabinet subordinate and a subordinate of Zhang Juzheng.

Just like the last time he called himself Zonghai, this time he called his official name to revis, which is clearly a mouthful of official response.

It's very important to say what you say on what occasion, and if you say the wrong thing, you will hang.

For example, Liu Chan replied to Sima Zhao's sentence that he couldn't think about it, so he thought that people were really stupid? If Li Yu, who is also the king of the dead country, understands, he must tearfully agree that he can't do more.

For example, Liu Yukui said that the Sanpin Hall was trembling when he saw Zhang Juzheng, and he couldn't say a few words, so he thought that those hall officials were very cowardly, and they were afraid when they saw Zhang Juzheng?

The same can be pushed, on the wine table. Others want you to drink this glass of wine, just think that people really love to drink?

Now that Zhang Juzheng is busy, he wants to summon every new subordinate official to the cabinet one by one, thinking that he wants to listen to his long speech?

Thinking of this, Lin Yanchao gave Zhang Juzheng a long look and said respectfully: "That day, I was given by Zhongtang to see the Prime Minister's Mansion. The lower officials are grateful, and they enter the cabinet today to do things, and they can **** thanks to the teachings of the middle hall, and they are really blessed by the lower officials! ”

Zhang Juzheng said: "Lin Xiu, is this true or false?" ”

"If you go back to the middle hall, the lower official can be the champion, and the middle hall will play to the Son of Heaven, and the lower official can enter the cabinet to do things, which is also the title of the middle hall. This grace and virtue are kept in mind! Lin Yanchao's words couldn't be more respectful, and he deliberately showed a little trembling.

Zhang Juzheng pinched his beard and said: "Lin Xiu wrote what you said, the original cabinet department was just out of public intentions, don't talk about the past, now you must be self-denying and public service when you enter the cabinet, superfluous words, this cabinet department doesn't say much, if there is any errand." If you don't spare the punishment, get out! ”

Zhang Juzheng's last few words. It can be described as a fierce statement.

Lin Yanchao walked out of the duty room after making a move, although Zhang Juzheng still reprimanded a few words, he was relieved, because he knew that he had passed the test.

Zhang Juzheng reminded Lin Yanchao of Wang Anshi.

Some people say that Wang Anshi's failure to change the law was because he did not notice the use of people.

Who is Wang Anshi's change? Such as Lu Huiqing, Deng Xuan. Zhang Dun and others are all clever and flattering people. For example, Deng Juan is very famous, and Deng Juan is extremely flattering to Wang Anshi. Wang Anshi resigned for the first time, and Deng Juan switched to Lu Huiqing to fight Wang Anshi together, and Wang Anshi regained his appearance. Deng Juan also impeached Lu Huiqing and others in order to discourage Wang Anshi.

Deng Juan is so shameless, others scolded him, Deng Juan also said cheekily, laughing and scolding from you, I will be a good official.

Didn't Wang Anshi know that Deng Juan was a villain? Wang Anshi can be called a perfect person in terms of personal morality, can he play with Deng Juan?

On the contrary, it was Ouyang Xiu, who had brought Wang Anshi with him, and he was half of his teacher, and the two had a good personal relationship, but because of his opposition to the change, Wang Anshi turned his face and ruthlessly drove him back to his hometown, and scolded, such a person is bad in a county, and a bad court in the court, get out of here.

Look at Zhang Juzheng from Wang Anshi, and then from Zhang Juzheng to Wang Anshi.

Therefore, Lin Yanchao can fully support Zhang Juzheng's change of law, but resolutely refuses to vote for Zhang Juzheng.

Coming out of Zhang Juzheng's room, Lin Yanchao and Liu Yukui went to see Zhang Siwei together.

Before coming to Zhang Siwei's duty room, the subordinate officials of the second assistant came out and said to the two: "The second assistant is busy with affairs at the moment, and he said that he will have the opportunity to meet with each other in the future, but I hope to do things carefully after entering the cabinet." ”

Liu Yukui's face was stupid, and he looked unexpected.

In the end, the two of them met with Sanfu Shen Shixing.

Before Shen Shixing's duty room, it was still Liu Yukui who entered first, and Lin Yanchao who entered later.

When Lin Yanchao entered, he said as soon as he saw Shen Shixing: "Xiaguan Hanlin has written Lin Yanchao and seen the middle hall. ”

Shen Shixing smiled mildly and said: "There are no outsiders here, so let's not call ourselves on official affairs, sit down!" ”

Lin Yanchao immediately said: "Yes, teacher." ”

On the chair in front of Lin Yanchao's case, Shen Shixing said with a smile: "It's not easier for you to go straight to the Yuan Pavilion this time than to repair a book in the History Bureau." ”

Lin Yanchao said at the moment: "Teacher, back then, Li Siguan hamster gave birth to Lingyun's ambition, and the disciple's ambition was not to cultivate history, so he entered Wenyuan Pavilion in the hope of following his mentor and waiting for dispatch. ”

Shen Shixing said with a smile: "It's good that you have this heart, and there is nothing you have to do after entering the cabinet, the emphasis is on learning more and watching more, participating in the cardinals, and observing the way of politics, you must remember to speak tightly and speak slowly in everything." If you can, don't speak. ”

Lin Yanchao said: "Disciple thanks Master for his teachings. ”

Shen Shixing said with a smile: "You say so in your mouth, but you must not think so in your heart, what is your way of being an official?" ”

Lin Yanchao said in his heart, where can he say that, there are dozens of first assistants in the Ming Dynasty, and Shen Shixing's ability is not among the top few, but when it comes to being an official, he can be in the top three.

Lin Yanchao heard Shen Shixing say this, and immediately said: "Teacher, the disciple is an official because of the word merit. Those who are officials must have actual achievements, otherwise they are not worthy of being in a position of virtue. ”

Shen Shixing listened and said appreciatively: "Yes." How many people are officials just to learn from their careers, but they forget to do some practical things for the country and the society. But what if what you do in your eyes gets in the way of others? ”

"The disciple is dull, please teach the teacher."

Shen Shixing said: "For example, if you are a county magistrate, and the court wants you to build a dam for the people, and you have no money in your hand, go and ask the rich to borrow money, if the rich family does not borrow it, and you take it by force, then you are a merit to the people, and what is it to the rich household?" ”

Lin Yanchao said at the moment: "Teacher, Mencius has clouds, it is not difficult to be political, not to sin the house, how can we be officials who are willing to give up the difficult and easy, not only for the officials, but also for the people, for the community, and not hesitate to open the huge room." ”

Shen Shixing shook his head and said, "So you are in danger, why can't the royal road be good for three generations?" It is the dislocation of yin and yang, such as axiom is yang, selfish desire is yin, asking for life for the people is yang, protecting oneself is selfish, and the way to be an official lies in the four characters of yin and yang.
