The little emperor was about to rejoice. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Empress Dowager Li paused, and suddenly said: "Your Majesty, this matter of persuading Mr. Zhang, so many courtiers before and after can't do it, why did Lin Yanchao do it alone?" ”

The little emperor smiled disapprovingly and said: "Queen Mother, this Lin Yanchao is a capable minister, with Zhang Liang and Chen Ping's strategy, he can't do it, who else can do it?" ”

Empress Dowager Li was suspicious: "Won't Wang Xijue be able to do it?" ”

The little emperor smiled and said: "Mr. Wang dares to do things, and he is loyal to his sons and ministers, and to the court, but I privately think that Lin Qing's family is not inferior to Mr. Wang, his wisdom is outstanding, he is very eloquent, and he is really a model for people." ”

Empress Dowager Li said: "Yes, it is really because the emperor appreciates it, so he listens to the words of the emperor, but does not put the words of mourning in his ears." ”

When the little emperor heard Empress Dowager Li's cold words, he immediately knelt down in panic and said, "Queen Mother, your sons dare not disobey you. ”

Empress Dowager Li said slowly: "The mourning family knows that you are filial, but the mourning family has also heard that people have five evils. The mourning family looks at Lin Yanchao and has all five, unlike Mr. Wang, he is loyal and upright inside and outside. ”

The little emperor thought to himself that the queen mother was displeased with Lin Yanchao because of his will. But I know that Lin Yanchao is a person, not that kind of person.

The little emperor followed the meaning of the Empress Dowager Li on his face and said: "The queen mother advised, the sons and daughters remembered, and the sons and daughters must listen to their words and watch their deeds." ”

Empress Dowager Li nodded slowly and said: "That's good, the emperor has finally grown up, it's time to make your own decisions, Mr. Zhang's recital, you can watch it." ”

Seeing the queen mother's consent, the little emperor felt a burst of excitement in his heart, and when he left Cining Palace, he almost forgot to bow down and bow to him.

However, there were twists and turns that night, and when he heard that Zhang Juzheng wanted to resign, Feng Bao rushed to Cining Palace to cry to the Queen Mother, intending to keep Zhang Juzheng.

Empress Dowager Li's ears were soft, and she was shaken, and the next day after Wu Qingbo Li Wei entered the palace to discuss with the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager made up her mind, and immediately approved Zhang Juzheng Zhishi to return to his hometown to recuperate.

The second day after Zhang Juzheng's resignation.

Although the Qingming Festival has passed, the capital is still rainy.

This day is in the early dynasty, the chariots and horses outside the Daming Gate are weaving, in the cold rain pouring in the sky, the sound of horses' hooves, the sound of the wheels of the car has become a place.

Lin Yanchao sat in the carriage and got off at Daming Gate, Chen Jichuan hurriedly held an umbrella behind him, and said continuously: "The ground is slippery, master be careful of mud." ”

Lin Yanchao answered, and came to the front of Daming Gate with Chen Jichuan.

The drizzle has been falling, the Daming Gate is still not open, and the officials who arrived early are waiting in front of the door.

At this time, the sound of shouting was heard, and officials in the distance avoided the road to greet them.

Lin Yanchao said in his heart, who is so powerful?

From afar, the fire was bright, dozens of soldiers were holding sticks, torches were opening the way in front, and behind the soldiers, there were twenty or thirty armored horsemen patrolling.

A rode back and forth, galloping like flying, between the horse's hooves rising and falling, muddy water splashed everywhere, and many officials who avoided the road were affected by the pond fish.

After riding A, a large sedan chair carried by sixteen people slowly approached.

It turned out to be the new first assistant Zhang Siwei, and Lin Yanchao was stunned.

In the past, when he was a second assistant, Zhang Siwei didn't have such a big momentum when he traveled, but now as the first assistant, the police who enter and exit have the specifications of the first assistant.

Zhang Siwei's move is not an exaggeration, Zhang Juzheng was more than him when he was in power, but the sudden sight always made Lin Yanchao a little unaccustomed.

Lin Yanchao also respectfully stepped aside, looking at the sedan chair surrounded by fire under the rain, and couldn't help but think of a poem: 'The donkey suddenly spreads the prime minister, and the fire city is like a dawn and a cold day.' ’

On the side, Chen Jichuan said to Lin Yanchao: "Although Yuanfu is an invitation, the imperial court has not yet invented the decree, and the chapter has not been seen in the palace newspaper. ”

Lin Yanchao said: "The imperial court has not yet invented the decree, but it is a foregone conclusion that anyone Zhang Jiangling will leave Beijing. Besides, Zhang Puzhou to the second assistant and the first assistant of the Jin Dynasty, the imperial court will not have an explicit edict, so Zhang Puzhou is telling the courtiers with this move. ”

Generally, officials need to have a congratulatory ceremony for promotion, and some officials do not need congratulatory ceremonies for a low-key manner, but the imperial court will also follow and announce the edict to the world in the palace newspaper. For example, the second assistant is promoted to the first assistant, which is equal to the deputy prime minister and the prime minister, and the second-in-command of the civil officials is promoted to the first place, and the importance of its replacement is second only to the emperor's accession to the throne, and the court did not say it?

In fact, it is.

But the first assistant was promoted, and He Yi still has it.

Retreat.

Lin Yanchao changed his clothes and changed into a big red auspicious suit, this auspicious suit was worn when he was the first time he was an official, when he lectured on the scriptures to the Son of Heaven, and later the birthday of the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces, the emperor's longevity, and Lin Yanchao also wore it.

In case of festive events, officials wear red robes to congratulate them.

When he and Wang Jiaping came to the pavilion gate together, they saw that all officials with big red auspicious clothes entered Wenyuan Pavilion.

There is an unwritten rule in the cabinet that three days after the first assistant is gone, the second assistant can move his seat, and cabinet subordinates must wear auspicious clothes to congratulate the new first assistant.

Back then, Zhang Juzheng was at home and did not go to court, so the cabinet officials couldn't wait to wear auspicious clothes to Helu and tune Yang.

Although Lü Tiaoyang did not move his seat at that time, he accepted the congratulations of the officials, and it was because of this incident that he broke with Zhang Juzheng.

Therefore, this time Zhang Juzheng worked in a private house for three months due to illness, and did not come to Wenyuan Pavilion once, and the cabinet officials did not dare to congratulate Zhang Siwei. However, on the second day of the Son of Heaven's reply to Zhang Juzheng's recital, although the decree was not given, the matter was a foregone conclusion, which was different from Lu Tiaoyang's time.

As for asking Lin Yanchao why he didn't come to congratulate him in red when he was not in the cabinet office.

That's because of the Hanlin Academy, Wenyuan Pavilion is a signboard of two yamen. Not only did Lin Yanchao wear auspicious clothes to congratulate Zhang Siwei, but he also had to prepare a congratulatory gift to send to his private house, which was the case for every Hanlin.

At the time of the ceremony, Zhang Siwei said to the officials: "Bugu is entrusted by His Majesty and the former Yuanfu to ascend to this great position, hold the power of the leader, and have no selfish thoughts in his heart, only to serve the public wholeheartedly." ”

"Now in charge of the cabinet, I will do it with the words of my predecessor Xu Huating, repay the lord with prestige, return the ministers with government affairs, and return the public with the punishment of sacrifice!"

After Zhang Siwei finished speaking, Lin Yanchao raised his head and looked at Zhang Siwei sharply, his fists clenched.

Returning the lord with blessings, returning the ministers with government affairs, and rewarding the public with sacrifice and punishment are what the former chief assistant Xu Jie.

When did Xu Jie say that? It was said after the fall of Yan Song that Xu Jie, who was promoted from the second assistant to the first assistant and took charge of the cabinet.

Weifu is authority, reward and punishment, and the opposite is to be powerful.

When Xu Jie said this, he meant that the power of authoritative rewards and punishments was returned to the emperor, the power of government affairs was returned to the six ministries and nine secretaries, and the punishments and rewards of officials were handed over to the world for public opinion, and the people discussed them.

Xu Jie's intention, as the first assistant, is to hand over the power of the cabinet. Whether Xu Jie did this move or not, regardless of it for the time being, has won him unanimous praise from the government and the opposition.

But Zhang Siwei said this, it seems that he is selfless on the surface, but in fact, he accused Zhang Juzheng in disguise of usurping the Son of Heaven when he was in power, and controlled the public opinion of the Qing Dynasty, comparing Zhang Juzheng to Yan Song.

Zhang Juzheng had just resigned, and Zhang Siwei actually began to dismantle his platform.
