Chapter 430: The Eternal Article

Several people who didn't know Lin Yanchao asked privately. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

"This is the first champion of the three yuan in the Ming Dynasty since the opening of the imperial examination!"

"It's him."

"Yes, even if you don't know him, you should understand when you look at that unicorn suit, this is a gift from the Son of Heaven, and the saint is in full bloom."

"I heard about the cabinet leak case, three of my six departments were investigated, and two cabinet members were investigated, and only one of the other party was interrogated by Jinyiwei, and he retreated, not to be underestimated!"

"What's more, in the past, it was customary for Hanlin to be seconded to the edict, but the cabinet let these Hanlin people broaden their knowledge in advance, practice their skills, and they will be transferred back to the Hanlin Academy in a few months. But Lin Xiu not only gained a firm foothold in the cabinet, but was also appointed as an assistant to the edict of the Imperial Chamber, why do you say this? ”

"Zai Fu is accustomed to knowing people, and this person must be extraordinarily talented when he is reused by this."

"I think it's the same, those who are not capable and talented can't occupy this position!"

The officials nodded in unison.

In the discussion of others, Lin Yanchao sat quietly on the case in the east corner, took a stack of official papers and put it in the upper left corner of the table, and then took one and spread it in front of him, pressing it with a paperweight. Then Lin Yanchao took water and studied ink, and after the research was completed, he covered the inkstone with an inkstone box. The inner wall of the inkstone is coated with several layers of lacquer to prevent the ink from steaming.

The inkstone can save the ink for a while, and when you want to write, you can use it with ink at any time, and you don't have to re-study the ink.

Lin Yanchao waited for a while, Dong Zhongshu opened the door and walked into the meeting room, and he sat on the table in the west corner.

It seems that the minutes of the meeting in today's meeting room will be taken care of by Lin Yanchao and Dong Zhongshu.

Speaking of meeting minutes, we have to talk about political discussions and court meetings.

The court meeting was attended by the emperor, and the important speeches of the ministers were recorded by the Hanlin lecturer who was the living officer.

As for the political council, it is a meeting in which the emperor is not present, and the ancients called it a meeting. It is not known who wrote the minutes of the meeting of the ancients, but there is one article that has been famous through the ages, that is, the salt and iron treatise written by Huan Kuan of the Western Han Dynasty. The theory of salt and iron was written by Huan Kuan according to the discussion of salt and iron.

The Salt and Iron Debate is a national policy debate, which mainly revolves around the debate between the public and private sectors of salt and iron. If it weren't for the salt and iron theory, the author Huan Kuan would be just an unknown person, but this book is a complete and famous history. Therefore, if the secretary of the industry wants to worship the ancestor of the industry, Huan Kuan should be the first to be recommended.

After a while, the door of the room will be opened, Zhang Juzheng, Zhang Siwei, and Shen Shixing will enter.

After the three of them entered, the internal servants outside the door closed the door, and the cabinet and the six departments were in a meeting, and the idlers and miscellaneous people were not allowed to approach, otherwise it would be redone.

Several pavilion elders sat down and began to deliberate, Lin Yanchao opened the inkstone box and took a pen and dipped it in ink.

But listening to the criminal department, he said: "Qiyu Yuanfu, the Shanxi Dynasty Wangfu clan, Zhenguo Lieutenant Ting, Fengguo General Junqi and several clansmen, obstructed Qingzhang Tianmu, and beat the officials sent by the political envoys, resulting in three deaths and many injuries. ”

Before the Criminal Department finished talking about the matter, Lin Yanchao began to write it down, thinking that the matter of Qingzhang Tianmu would be pushed from the Jingshi to the locality, and Wu Qingbo Li Wei from the Jingshi side had not yet done it, and as a result, there was a disturbance in the local area. You must know that the relatives in the capital are just that, as for the local clans, they are big thunders in the officialdom, and they can't be provoked easily.

Zhang Juzheng asked calmly, "What do you think?" ”

One of the people got up and said: "Yuanfu, the clan guards the royal family, it is a national fence, and it cannot be moved lightly." In the opinion of the following officials, the crimes of the clan are all family affairs of the Son of Heaven, and the imperial history of the capital does not want to interfere in this matter, causing the government and the opposition to hear about it. ”

"In your opinion?"

This person said: "The family affairs of the Son of Heaven have always been handled by the Zongren Mansion, and since the Acting Wangfu clan is guilty, you can ask the Zongren Mansion to investigate and interrogate." ”

The Criminal Department said in the middle of the matter: "The Zongren Mansion has always been lenient in its disposal, and even shielded and protected, if it is handed over to the Zongren Mansion for disposal, it will inevitably be indulged." ”

A few of them are going to speak again.

Zhang Juzheng waved his hand and said: "I have made three orders in the Qingzhang Regulations, and proclaimed that all places should be caressed and pressed, and the fields should be grained, but there are obstructions, regardless of the clan, the eunuchs, the military and the people, and they will be punished according to the law." Jun Yi knowingly committed a crime and violated the affairs of the fields, I will ask the Son of Heaven to abolish his concubines, and all the clans involved in it will be cut down and robbed of Zonglu! ”

Zhang Juzheng slapped the board, and everyone said yes.

One of them got up and said: "Yuanfu, the order of Qingzhang Tianmu went to Suzhou, and the Suzhou gentry, more than 500 people, wept bitterly in front of the ancestral tablet in the Confucian Temple, and complained about the matter of Qingzhang by the governor of the heavens. In addition, the Suzhou rice firm went on strike, and the people had no rice to buy. The prefect of Suzhou was forced by the gentry to ask the imperial court to temporarily relax the period of land and acres in Suzhou. ”

Lin Yanchao listened and wrote at the same time, thinking that Zhang Juzheng was doing this, which caused great dissatisfaction in the clan, and also angered the other two largest groups of officials and gentry who hid in the fields.

Suzhou's literary style is prosperous, humanities are gathered, and in the court officials, those who seek the imperial examination are raised, and talents abound, so the style of Suzhou literati association is prevalent, and they like to fight against the government. If the government behaves inappropriately, the scholars will go to the Temple of Literature to cry in groups.

Hearing that the pressure from Suzhou against Qingzhang Tianmu was so great, all the officials felt that it was difficult to deal with it, and the three cabinet elders Zhongshen Shixing were from Wu County, Suzhou.

At this time, Shen Shixing stood up and said: "Qingzhang's proposal is really benefited by the small people, and it is very inconvenient in the house of the eunuch, and it cannot be opposed by the eunuch, that is, it is forced to stop." The servant is willing to set an example by making his family open their land to show justice and let the villagers follow suit. ”

Shen Shixing said this, Zhang Juzheng said appreciatively: "The rich people have land but do not give it, the poor people lose and lose, and the people flee in poverty, so the state tax is less than one day a day, and in the long run, the society will be ruined." ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Juzheng picked up a letter and said: "This is a family letter, my Zhang's original land is not more than 70 stones, but in the county service book, it is written 'Cabinet Zhang Youyou exempts more than 640 stones", the surplus is the clan relying on the name of the trick, I have asked the family to return the extra 570 stones. ”

Zhang Juzheng and Shen Shixing all set an example, and it seemed that they were going to carry out the matter of clearing the acres of land to the end, so everyone gave suggestions in the matter, and when they disagreed, they also debated with each other.

Lin Yanchao wrote them down one by one, he remembered that Zhang Juzheng was in the sixth year of Wanli in Fujian to try to clear the acres of fields, after a whip law, in the eighth year of Wanli began to implement it in all roads across the country, this national policy has a huge impact, and it will be read in today's junior high school history books.

Although Lin Yanchao did not have the slightest influence at this moment, he could only be a bystander witness, but he really benefited a lot from participating in this matter.

Lin Yanchao looked at the more and more manuscripts in his hand, and thought to himself that he might be able to write an article similar to "On Salt and Iron" based on what he has seen and heard today. (To be continued.) )
