When I got home, the return date was approaching. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The imperial court gave each official a very tight provincial leave, and the official was registered in Liangguang and Yungui, which was the longest leave, but the journey plus the home gave a maximum of six months of leave.

If you do not return within the time limit, you will be punished with absenteeism, or even be dismissed as a missing question. What is the question of vacancies, that is, the officials who have returned from the provincial family leave, they want to be worried about the officials, and they will not necessarily be able to wait for the vacancy.

Therefore, for Lin Yanchao, this matter is related to his career, and he does not dare to stay at home for too long.

In the next few days, Lin Yanchao and his family will enjoy family fun, see teachers again, meet friends, and socialize in officialdom, which is almost the same.

The days go by quickly. Just a few days before returning to Beijing, Lin Yanchao wrote a letter on the desk in his study.

At this time, there was two knocks on the door outside the house, and Lin Yanchao said without raising his head: "Come in!" ”

Chen Jichuan walked into the room and asked, "Master, you call me?" ”

Lin Yanchao nodded and continued to write, while Chen Jichuan stood aside without saying a word.

After a cup of tea, Lin Yanchao put his pen aside and finished writing the letter: "I am writing a letter to the chief of Yong'an, saying that I am willing to donate 50 acres of school land for the purpose of supporting education. ”

Chen Jichuan was overjoyed when he heard this: "Master, this is a good deed, from now on, the poor children of Hongtang Social Studies will be able to study." ”

Lin Yanchao nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, I plan to divide the money from Xuetian into two payments every year, one to subsidize poor children, and one to use for students who have achieved success in their studies. ”

"But the name of this anointing fire silver is too good, I am going to call it scholarship silver, or student silver, so that I can do some small help to the students."

Chen Jichuan said admiringly: "The master is really unkind. ”

Lin Yanchao said: "Compared to Mr., Zhang Guihe, etc., I am still too insignificant, and these yellow and white things are really not worth mentioning." By the way, this matter needs to be handled well, you go to the Houguan County Ya to find Lu Zhi County, and ask the county Ya to give me a plaque of a good person and send it to the house. As for the matter of subsidizing the study field, you also need to make a big show and be extravagant in the township, not only to let the villagers know, but also to know the provincial capital. ”

Chen Jichuan was surprised when he heard this, it didn't seem to be as open-minded as Lin Yanchao's usual low-key style of doing things.

Lin Yanchao said with a smile: "This is not surprising, the people of this province have done this when they give away school fields, and I just follow the crowd." ”

Chen Jichuan said: "Master, I don't understand, most of those people give away school fields to sell fame and reputation, just to gain fame, but sir, your original intention is not to be famous, but you also end up like them, I'm afraid you will be teased by Shilin!" ”

Lin Yanchao laughed when he heard this: "Jichuan, let me tell you a story, when someone in the Lu State was trapped in a foreign state, the subjects were allowed to pay their own money to ransom people, and then take money from the treasury as a subsidy, but after Zigong ransomed people, he did not take money from the treasury. Confucius said that Zigong was wrong, and he did so that no one in the Lu country would redeem anyone. ”

Chen Jichuan suddenly said: "I understand what the master said." ”

Lin Yanchao said: "You only know one thing, you don't know the other, I also plan for myself, everyone has a good name, in order to seek a good name, I leave others with a bad name, and even put others somewhere, this is embarrassing." So those who are known as fame and fame in your mouth will hate me for it. ”

After hearing this, Chen Jichuan deeply admired and said: "Master, it's really hard. ”

After Lin Yanchao finished speaking, he took the letter and handed it to Chen Jichuan and said, "Take it and do it." ”

After Chen Jichuan took the letter and went out, he saw a subordinate coming in a hurry.

"What's so alarming?"

Seeing Chen Jichuan scolding, the next person immediately held an envelope and handed it to Chen Jichuan.

Chen Jichuan's expression changed greatly after seeing the letter, and after taking a few closer looks, he asked, "How did you see this letter?" ”

The servant said: "It was picked up by the doorkeeper in the backyard, and he heard someone knocking on the door, but after knocking on the door, he didn't see him, but he saw this letter on the ground, so he sent it." ”

Chen Jichuan nodded and said, "You told the past, no one who sees this letter is allowed to make a noise, understand?" ”

The subordinate said yes, and then retreated, Chen Jichuan settled down and returned to the study.

In the study, Lin Yanchao saw Chen Jichuan going and asked back, "What's the matter?" “

Chen Jichuan will believe it, Lin Yanchao glanced at it, but saw that the envelope was stained with blood, and the handwriting seemed to be written with his fingers in the form of blood letters, and it was written'Cheng Hanlin Yuan Lin Zhongyun personally opened'.

Lin Yanchao said: "Blood book? Or naming names? Do you open the letter and see what it is written? “

Chen Jichuan nodded, and immediately took the letter opener handed by Lin Yanchao and opened it.

Lin Yanchao glanced at it, and the content of the letter was really written in blood.

Lin Yanchao took the letter from Chen Jichuan's hand and read it from beginning to end, Chen Jichuan said on the side: "Master, what this letter says is very tricky!" It is related to the black gauze hat of the three-product master. “

Lin Yanchao saw it and said, "You don't have to worry first, someone is handing me a knife." But if I keep quiet, the matter may not sink into the sea, and if I do, the matter may not be submitted to the royal review. “

It turned out that the letter in Lin Yanchao's hand was a letter of accusation, and the signature of the letter was 'You Qiyuan'.

This signature is known to be fake at a glance, and the homonym of \'You Qiyuan\' is \'There is a strange grievance\', not to mention everyone like Lin Yanchao, who is generally immersed in words, and is also famous after seeing through the signature at a glance.

Lin Yanchao frowned when he saw the signature, the person who wrote the letter was so deceitful, where is the person who really redresses his grievances.

What kind of injustice is this accusation?

The letter listed more than a dozen major crimes of Lao Kan, hoping that after Lin Yanchao returned to Beijing, he could submit this letter to the Son of Heaven.

This is what Lin Yanchao said, someone handed him a knife, and the knife was borrowed from Lin Yanchao's hand to kill Lao Kan.

Lin Yanchao read the letter several times, and the Hong Chaoxuan case was very tightly blocked among the people, but for Lin Yanchao, he heard the rumors.

This matter involves the governor of a province and a senior official, even if Lin Yanchao doesn't say anything, if he really delivers this letter to the Son of Heaven, Lao Kan's life will be in danger.

Chen Jichuan said to Lin Yanchao: "The old man returned to his hometown and provincial relatives, this Lao Kan is condescending to the old man, he is really a man who sees the wind and rudder, and now his evidence falls into my hands, does the master plan to put him together?" “

Lin Yanchao shook his head and said: "It's normal for officialdom to be condescending and respectful, and if I and Lao Kan are in a different position, I may be worse than him." “

Chen Jichuan didn't expect Lin Yanchao to say so frankly, and he was also stunned.

"What does the lord mean?"

Lin Yanchao thought for a while and said: "This matter of control is handled by the Dali Temple of the Imperial History and Punishment Platform, and I am Hanlin who is not in his position and does not seek his politics." Moreover, the language on this letter is unknown, and most of the incriminating evidence listed is not credible, and I think it is really suspicious. “

Chen Jichuan nodded and asked: "That is the case, the lord handed this letter to Governor Lao, and said that someone slandered the imperial court officials and asked him to deal with it." We can also settle personal favors. “

Listening to Chen Jichuan's words, Lin Yanchao smiled and said: "What's more, the favor is not like this, and sending a letter for nothing has become a threat." “

This matter was pressed by Lin Yanchao, and a few days later, the deadline for Lin Yanchao to go to Beijing arrived.

On this day, Lao Kan, Shu Yinglong and several other adults came to see each other off.

Zuo Bu's political envoy Shu Yinglong left after staying for a while, and gave Lin Yanchao two hundred taels of Cheng Yi. Shu Yinglong just walked on the front foot, and Lao Kan's back foot also arrived at Lin Yanchao's mansion.

The governor of a province and the political envoy came to the Lin Mansion twice, which is a face-saving thing for the Lin family.

After three rounds of wine at the banquet, Lao Kanping retreated left and right and said to Lin Yanchao: "Since this court came to Fujian as an official, I deeply feel that the place is not quiet, and there are many squires who instigate foolish people to make trouble, which is really a headache, I don't know what Lin Zhongyun taught me?" “

Lin Yanchao said: "The system is heavy, and the lower officials feel that it is not easy to be an official, just like governing one side, the government decree is issued, no matter whether the villagers are virtuous or stupid, there are always people who like it, and there are always people who are evil." Isn't it true that if we are officials because we are afraid of this and that, we will not do anything? In my opinion, to be an official is not to be afraid of offending people. “

"Well said," Lao Kan patted his leg and praised, "It would be nice to have a few more people in the court who are as knowledgeable as Zong Hai." “

Lin Yanchao didn't have the slightest hint of shame and said: "Don't dare to be, this is just a little shallow view of the lower officials, the general system has been an official for many years, and the lower officials have to learn more from the general system." “

Lao Kan said again: "But although Zong Hai said so, there are always people who spread unfavorable remarks and say bad things about their officials everywhere. Zong Hai, if there is such a villain who speaks to the Son of Heaven at that time, you have to help me argue a little more! “

Lin Yanchao smiled and said, "Wait a minute, I'll get you something." “

After speaking, Lin Yanchao went to the study and took the letter of accusation and put it in front of Lao Kan.

When Lao Kan saw this letter, he said suspiciously: "What does Zong Hai mean by this? “

Lin Yanchao said: "I didn't want to give the platform a purpose, but since there is a villain, I want to bring him to justice, so I will give this letter to the station to see." “

Lao Kan listened to Lin Yanchao's words, took the letter and read it from beginning to end, slapped the letter on the table, and the dishes made a chaotic sound.

"This is really chasing after the wind and shadows, nonsense, on the surface he wants to harm me, but behind the scenes, he really wants to harm his master."

Lin Yanchao looked at Lao Kan angrily, smiled slightly, and then persuaded on the side.

Lao Kan was angry for a while, and then said to Lin Yanchao: "Fortunately, the Son of Heaven has a close minister by Zong Hai who can distinguish between right and wrong, otherwise he would really have participated in the murder." “

Lin Yanchao said with a smile: "The lower officials are ashamed, the Son of Heaven knows thousands of miles, and he will not wronged such an important minister as Taiwan." “

Lao Kan nodded in satisfaction.

After a few more glasses of wine, he got up and left. Lin Yanchao sent Lao Kan out of the house.

Before leaving, Lao Kan said to Lin Yanchao: "Zong Hai is a smart person, he will travel thousands of miles to Beijing, and this hospital will only be stunned at that time." “

Then Lin Yanchao watched Lao Kan sit in the governor's eight-lift sedan chair.

Lin Yanchao was about to return home, when a person came to him and said: "The villain is the messenger of the governor's yamen, and Lord Futai knows that Master Zhongyun has a lot of expenses on the way to Beijing, so he specially sent Cheng Yi." “

Lin Yanchao listened to the gift list, glanced at it, and then smiled at the messenger and said, "I'm annoying, I'm worried about the work." “

Lin Yanchao returned to the mansion, handed the gift slip to Chen Jichuan and said, "You can use this money to find a reliable silver village and save it." ”

Chen Jichuan took the gift list and glanced at it, and immediately gasped and said, "Master, Futai actually gave two thousand taels of silver, or cash silver." “

Lin Yanchao said lightly: "Compared with his black gauze hat, this money is not expensive. “

Chen Jichuan listened to it and said with a smile: "It seems that the favor of the master has been sold." “

Lin Yanchao smiled when he heard this: "It's not that it's for sale, it's that he is just smart about himself." “

Chen Jichuan listened to Lin Yanchao's words, but he didn't understand what Lin Yanchao meant by 'being smart'.

At this moment, the governor is in the palace.

Lao Kan sat on the Taishi's chair very tiredly.

"Master, Xu, and Chen, the two masters have arrived."

He waved his hand and motioned for the handmaidens who were rubbing their shoulders and backs to step back.

After the two masters arrived, Lao Kan motioned for the two to close the door.

The master observed his words and asked, "How did Dong Weng try today?" “

Lao Kan tiredly threw the envelope on the table and said, "Finally, this Lin Yanchao knows the current affairs, it seems that he is not the person who waits to chew the root of his tongue in front of the Son of Heaven." “

The two masters breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this. Master Xu said: "I just said that it is just a Hanlin, no matter how good he Lin Yanchao is, it will take ten years of hard work to have a corner of the court, how dare to offend Dong Weng and Xiangye now." “

Another Master Chen said: "I'm not afraid of 10,000, I'm afraid of just in case, let's use some tricks, sprinkle some chicken blood and duck blood to write a letter, and try this champion is also worth it, but it won't show flaws." “

Lao Kan said disapprerovingly: "It's just a yellow mouth, where can I see any flaws, this court just doesn't understand, this Lin Yanchao and Xiangye are not all the way, why Xiangye promoted him as a Japanese lecturer." “

Master Chen smiled and said, "Although this Lin Yanchao is not a person from Xiangye, he will not hinder Xiangye. This person is the proud disciple of Shenwu County, and the Xiangye named him the emperor's teacher, and he received the heart of Shenwu County. “

Master Xu smiled and said: "Yes, if Xiangye doesn't raise Shenwu County, can't he still raise Zhang Puzhou?" “

Everyone laughed in unison.

Master Chen said: "Although Zhang Puzhou is very respectful to the prime minister, and everything is based on the prime minister's horse, but I see that the prime minister has always been guarding against Zhang Puzhou in his heart, and winning over Shenwu County is the intention of elbowing Zhang Puzhou." “

Lao Kan said: "Zhang Puzhou is the prime minister's aid to the cabinet, how can Zhang Puzhou not be unfavorable to the prime minister, right?" “

Master Xu said: "Dong Weng can't say that, the Heavenly Family has always used the second auxiliary to fight the first assistant, Xia Guixi, Yan Fenyi, Xu Huating, Gao Xinzheng, which is not the second auxiliary fight." If Xiang Ye didn't fight Gao Xinzheng at the beginning, how would he get to the top, and although Xiang Ye had a great favor to Zhang Puzhou, Zhang Puzhou also received a great favor from Gao Xinzheng。。。。。 “

Everyone was chatting and chatting, and gradually talked about the major affairs of the court.

Master Xu came to the end and said, "Dong Weng, if Lin Yanchao doesn't give you this letter, what should you do?" ”

Lao Kan glanced at him and smiled faintly: "It's nothing, isn't his return very tight?" I sent someone to delay him in the province for half a month, and then wrote a letter to ask him to delay him on the road for another month or two. When Lin Yanchao arrives in Beijing, the imperial history will participate in his absence, and the excerpt of his absences has already been submitted to the imperial review, not to mention the imperial division, he Lin Yanchao will even lose his official position. ”

Hearing Lao Kan say this, the two masters laughed and said, "Dong Weng, what a clever plan." ”

"However," Lao Kan paused and said with a smile, "Now that Lin Yanchao is so knowledgeable, then I won't hinder him." Hey, two thousand taels of silver, this is what I kept when I returned to my hometown for retirement, but it was worth him! (To be continued.) )
