However, it was said that Lin Yanchao had a colleague in the Hanlin Academy, named Shen Ziwei. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Shen Ziwei was a Jinshi in the fifth year of Wanli, and later a Shujishi, and was awarded the post of review after staying in the museum. When he was in the Hanlin Academy, he was low-key, didn't say much, and was just a nodding friend with Lin Yanchao.

Of course, this is not talking about Shen Ziwei, but Shen Ziwei has a son named Shen Defu, born in the sixth year of Wanli, and is only four or five years old at the moment, living in Beijing with his father.

Because of his father, Shen Defu has been exposed to it since he was a child, and has heard a lot of stories about the government and the opposition, and his father has made friends with many officials and dignitaries, and he has also obtained a lot of first-hand materials from others. Decades later, Shen Defu wrote what he saw and heard into a book called "Wanli Ye Edited by Wanli Ye".

The book discusses the affairs of Jiajing, Longqing, and the emperors and ministers of the Wanli dynasties, which is quite detailed, so it is talked about by later generations of readers.

Wanli Ye won the chapter, in the word forest volume, there is a hanging fish.

Hanging fish is written inside.

In the spring of the tenth year of Wanli, Jiangling Zhishi, it is planned to use Haigang Peak to recover. Haigangfeng took a cart of salted fish to the north, and when he entered Beijing, he took the fish and gave six Jiuqing. When people heard the salted fish, they all covered their noses, suspected of ridiculing the abalone, and did not know whether to accept it or not.

When the Marquis of Lin was on duty, he talked about his daily life, hung the fish alone at the door, continued the story of the sheep, and Shilin passed on it as a beautiful talk.

Of course, this is what the book says, and it is inevitable that it will be distorted.

The truth of the matter is that when Lin Yanchao arrived at the official duty the next day, this matter became a laughing stock in Wang Jiaping and Zhu Geng's mouth.

Wang Jiaping has always been used to joking with Lin Yanchao, and said unceremoniously: "Haigang Peak was recommended by Zong Hai to Your Majesty, and it stands to reason that Zong Hai is half of the master of Haigang Peak." He actually gave you a basket of salted fish, and it was not only us who got the news out, but also colleagues in the officialdom who laughed at you. ”

After speaking, Wang Jiaping, Chen Siyu, Huang Fengxiang and others all laughed.

Lin Yanchao was also very helpless.

Officialdom has the saying that the lord is the master, the lord is recommended, and the lord is raised.

The host is the examiner in the examination, and the recommender is generally the examiner of the room, or the magnate who is recommended to the examiner, and the host is the other officials who recommend you to the Son of Heaven or the Ministry of Officials after you are appointed as an official, which is called the examiner.

This time, Hai Rui's resurrection was recommended by Lin Yanchao in front of the Son of Heaven, although the official position has not yet been appointed, but it is okay for Lin Yanchao to call Hai Rui half of the master.

Officialdom re-exalts the Lord.

When an official encounters a master, he wants to give a gift to his protégé, and he also has to give a gift of thanks, and it is not an exaggeration to give tens of thousands of taels of silver. But Hai Rui only gave Lin Yanchao a basket of salted fish, which was not laughed at by people in the officialdom.

Lin Yanchao said with a smile: "Uncle Zhong, if you say this, you look down on the little brother too much, and the matter of raising the master is a bad rule of officialdom." I recommend Haigang Peak, but out of public heart, not for private invitation. Haigangfeng's reputation for honesty is known to the whole world, how can the younger brother dare to be greedy for his recommendation? ”

Wang Jiaping smiled and said, "Zong Hai, don't put gold on your face." ”

Zhu Geng also smiled and said: "Zong Hai Xie is just recommending, I'm afraid that you will repeat Xu Huating's mistakes." ”

Lin Yanchao knew what Zhu Geng was referring to, and Jiajing wanted to kill Hai Rui at that time, but he was rescued by Xu Jie, the first assistant. Later, when Hai Rui was the governor, he cleared the private land occupied by Xu Jie. Xu Jie wrote to Hai Rui to intercede, but Hai Rui did not enter the oil and salt, and took Xu Jie's younger brother down. Xu Jie was furious and scolded Hai Rui for being a white-eyed wolf, which was like revenge, so he wrote a letter to ask Zhang Juzheng to dismiss Hai Rui.

It was ridiculed by the people at the time that the prime minister of the family could chase the constitution of the court.

When Zhu Geng said this, he reminded Lin Yanchao not to lift a stone and shoot himself in the foot.

Of course, Wang Jiaping, Zhu Yi's reminder is not unreasonable.

A moment later.

Wang Jiaping and Lin Yanchao went straight to the Middle Pole Palace.

On the way, Wang Jiaping said to Lin Yanchao: "Zong Hai, to be honest with you, Hai Rui is not afraid of death, does not want money, does not vomit vegetarian food, is really a man, I often admire him, but if Hai Rui is allowed to govern, I am afraid it will really hurt the country's major affairs." I know that it is your authority to run a righteous school, but if it is handed over to Hai Rui to do it, I am afraid it will not go so smoothly. ”

Lin Yanchao nodded, this is what most people in the officialdom thought of Hai Rui at that time.

Lin Yanchao said to Wang Jiaping: "Uncle Zhong, please believe in my vision of people. ”

Wang Jiaping didn't say anything more when he saw this.

After the two arrived at the Zhongji Palace, as soon as they saw the little emperor, they smiled and asked Lin Yanchao, "Lin Qing's family, how does Hai Rui's basket of salted fish taste?" ”

Lin Yanchao couldn't help but blush when he heard this, he actually heard about it.

Not only did the little emperor look teasing, but even Zhang Whale, Zhang Cheng and others on the side were also smiling. Lin Yanchao thought to himself that Hai Rui's every move was eye-catching, and he almost became a benchmark for officialdom. The gift he gave yesterday is now known to the officialdom, and even reached the ears of the emperor.

Lin Yanchao could only say: "Back to Your Majesty, the taste of salted fish, the minister doesn't know, he just hangs the fish outside the door." ”

"Well, I still know this allusion from you," the little emperor smiled: "But Lin Qing's family, you recommend Hai Rui to recover, this is a public heart." Hai Rui gave you a basket of salted fish, although it was a gift, it also shows that he is a minister of Qingsuke. ”

Lin Yanchao bowed and said: "The minister only knows how to do things for His Majesty, and which minister Your Majesty promotes and chooses is Your Majesty's grace." What's more, Chen never thought of recommending Hai Rui in return for him. ”

The little emperor smiled and said: "Of course I know what you mean, so many ministers in the court recommended him, you are not the only one, Hai Rui can be said to be a disappointer." Look at Hai Rui, who has just arrived in Beijing, and has been on my desk for a few days. ”

The little emperor raised the recital and said: "Hai Rui said in the recital that he is old and his body is declining, so he is not afraid of offending people, and he is willing to follow the advice of the ancients. Why is that? But the punishment of the court for the officials was too light. The ministers said that the court should treat scholars with courtesy. But if you treat the scholars and doctors with courtesy, how can you treat the people? ”

"Hai Rui suggested that I restore the strict punishment of Taizu, and all those who pervert the law will be hanged eighty times, and the corrupt officials will be stripped of their skins and grass, so as to start the effect of rectifying the rule of officials."

When the little emperor talked about Hai Rui's advice, he felt quite agreeable.

All the ministers in the palace did not speak, and Lin Yanchao thought to himself that he would be hanged if he bent the law eighty times, so I am afraid that there are few living officials in the court today.

But none of the people present dared to speak, saying that there was something wrong with what Hai Rui said, didn't he admit that he was a corrupt official? Wang Jiaping gave Lin Yanchao a look, to the effect that if the Son of Heaven really listened to Hai Rui's words, the officials of the world would find you Lin Yanchao to settle accounts.

Therefore, everyone can only echo Hai Jui's words.

The little emperor nodded, and also felt that he had chosen a capable minister, he looked leisurely outside the hall and said: "Hai Rui is really a loyal minister, every sentence is from the bottom of his heart, I hate not to see him as soon as possible." ”

Then the little emperor asked Zhang Whale, "Has Hai Rui arrived?" ”

Zhang Whale replied: "Your Majesty, Hai Rui is kneeling outside the hall. ”

The little emperor said solemnly: "Xuan! ”

So Zhang Whale came to the outside of the hall and said loudly: "Your Majesty has a will, Xuan Hairui will come to see you!" ”
