When Lin Yanchao walked into the Wuying Palace, he saw several rows of eunuchs kneeling in the corridor on the right side of the hall. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

When the little emperor reprimanded several eunuchs as dogs in the palace, Sun Long and the others laughed.

Sun Long and others were invincible in front of civil officials, but they were low-minded in front of the emperor.

In the past, when the weather was very hot, the eunuch shook the fan for Emperor Wanli, but Zhang Juzheng was so hot that he kept sweating.

Afterwards, Wanli reprimanded the eunuch, Mr. Zhu was beside him, and when he saw Er, he shook his fan, thinking that I had no family law, and afterwards he scolded the eunuch with a heavy rod and almost beat him to death.

The eunuch was the emperor's servant, so the emperor could impose family punishment without having to go through others. Therefore, the Son of Heaven has the power of life and death over the eunuchs, and if he is in a bad mood, it is nothing to pull him out and kill him. Ministers like Zhang Juzheng can sit on an equal footing with the emperor. The emperor would rather be heated with the other party than allow the eunuchs to shake their fans, and the Son of Heaven could not kill ordinary ministers as he wanted, and even the power to dismiss them was limited.

Lin Yanchao saw that Sun Long was reprimanded, and excused him: "Actually, there is no minister, and Sun Gonggong is also easy to find, and the minister is just a snake." ”

The little emperor said: "Lin Qing's family, you don't have to excuse these dogs. A few days ago, I took a few volumes of the Yongle Canon, and I read half of it, and today I wanted to read it again, but I lost it for them. These house slaves are clearly self-stolen by the guards, and they stole this royal book and pawned it. ”

The little emperor said this, and the eunuchs next to the hall all knelt down, looking terrified. Even Sun Long didn't dare to speak.

Lin Yanchao did not continue to speak for Sun Long and them, but stood aside in silence.

Since the compilation of this Yongle year, there is only one set of originals, which is hidden in the Wenyuan Pavilion.

Emperor Jiajing liked to read the Yongle Grand Ceremony, and often carried it with him, so he copied a copy, the original copy of Wenyuan Pavilion, and the copy of the Emperor's Shichen. Therefore, there are only two sets of books in the world of the Yongle Grand Canon, so after the manuscript was lost, the little emperor was of course furious.

Fortunately, Lin Yanchao found it in time, and the little emperor lost his temper and asked the orthography official in the Wuying Hall to immediately copy the original and add the copy.

At this time, the little emperor was free, his face was happy, and then he gave Lin Yanchao a seat and asked him to talk to him.

Chatted for a while.

Lin Yanchao pulled the topic over and said to the little emperor: "The minister has something he wants to ask His Majesty for, I wonder if Your Majesty can agree?" ”

The little emperor smiled and said, "Lin Qing's family actually has something unclear, ask me for advice, then I want to listen carefully." ”

Lin Yanchao took out the unveiling post from his sleeve and presented it, and then said: "Your Majesty, the cabinet invites the ministers to participate in the court meeting on the matter of the 'culture and education' of the Ministry of Rites. ”

"Court Council?" The little emperor had some questions, took Lin Yanchao's unveiling sticker and said suddenly: "It turns out that this is the case, I have already ordered the Ministry of Rites to discuss it, but the Ministry of Rites has played it, this matter is a big matter, and it is not a matter that can be decided, so please ask the court to discuss it." I agreed. But why did the Ministry of Rites invite you to discuss it? ”

Lin Yanchao said: "This is also something that the minister doesn't understand, the minister wants the minister to be His Majesty's daily lecturer, and he is prepared for the position of advisor to the Son of Heaven." If the speaker goes to the court, then what the speaker says at the court meeting, the officials will not know whether what the minister says is out of his own will or from His Majesty's holy judgment. ”

"If the status of the minister interferes with the judgment of the hundred officials, and the opinions of the hundreds of officials in the court cannot be submitted to His Majesty correctly, then the minister is really a great crime."

The little emperor nodded, stroked his palms and said, "Lin Qing's family is really thoughtful, fortunately you thought of this." ”

Lin Yanchao continued: "Therefore, the minister is stupid, I don't know whether I should go to the court to discuss it, if I go, I will be responsible for Your Majesty, and if I don't go, I will be responsible for the order, so the minister is here to ask Your Majesty to show me, what should the minister do?" ”

After Lin Yanchao finished speaking, the little emperor also speculated, why would he suddenly let Lin Yanchao participate in the court discussion? When I thought of the past few days, someone asked Lin Yanchao to be transferred away from the Japanese speaker's recital. There must be someone among the ministers who wants to use Lin Yanchao to participate in the court discussion to drive a wedge between himself and Lin Yanchao.

Others dug the pit and let Lin Yanchao jump, but Lin Yanchao avoided the pit like an unpredictable prophet and hurriedly came to him for instructions. With such caution, I don't know if anyone can calculate him.

The little emperor threw away the Yongle ceremony in his hand: "Lin Qing's family, it's really the autumn wind that has not moved the cicada!" ”

Lin Yanchao lowered his head and said: "Your Majesty's will, the minister ......"

The little emperor smiled and said, "Our monarchs and ministers don't say anything about the outside world, since you ask me for advice, then I can teach you a strategy......

So the little emperor and Lin Yanchao had a discussion.

Next.

A moment.

In the open space in front of the left gate of the noon gate, there were more than 30 courtiers who participated in the court meeting.

The general number of court members varies, from more than 100 people to more than 20 people.

The location of the court meeting is uncertain, most of them are at the left gate of the que, some are at the right gate of the que, or the east pavilion south of the east room of the east gate of the huiji gate. If it is a rainy day or an extremely important meeting, it will be held in the East Pavilion. As for the general court meeting, it is held in an open-air place such as Que Zuo Gate.

Lin Yanchao looked at the courtiers who participated in the court meeting, and divided them into two groups, one group was the Ministry of Rites, the officials of Jiuqing, and the other group was the imperial history and science and technology.

In other words, there is administration on one side and supervision on the other.

Lin Yanchao looked at it, there were basically no acquaintances, Yushi, Kedao was not familiar with him at all.

Needless to say, on the side of the Ministry of Rites, as for a few Jiuqing, Lin Yanchao is familiar with it, but a big guy like Jiuqing is surrounded by officials, how can he get in. Not to mention Lin Yanchao's same year, they still have a long way to go before they are qualified to participate in the court meeting.

Lin Yanchao didn't want to stand alone, so he casually mixed in a circle and listened to their chat.

However, all the courtiers had their own circles, and although Lin Sanyuan was famous, as soon as he joined, they automatically changed the topic.

After walking around for two circles, Lin Yanchao couldn't help but feel a little out of place. Also, as an internal court official, it is not easy to integrate into the circle of foreign court officials. And any one of them here is a third- or fourth-grade eunuch, and they hold their own identity, and they won't take care of you as a sixth-grade official.

A moment later, Pan Sheng, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and Zhang Siwei, a scholar of Wuyingdian University, were present.

All the officials bowed and saluted.

The presiding officer of the court meeting was Pan Sheng, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites.

The rules of the court are similar to those of the ministry, and the matter under discussion is related to whichever ministry is concerned, which one presides. Therefore, even if Zhang Siwei is a secondary assistant, he cannot overstep his responsibilities.

After Pan Sheng sat down on the main seat facing the east, Zhang Siwei sat on Pan Sheng's side.

As for the rest of the officials, they could only stand.

But Pan Sheng instructed again: "Come here, show Lin Zhongyun a seat." ”

As soon as Pan Sheng's words came out, all the courtiers were stunned.
