Pan Sheng not only expressed his opposition to Lin Yanchao, but also had some rules for setting up a volunteer school. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Pan Sheng has been an official for many years, although he has never served as a pro-people official, but after all, he is in charge of a department and has very experienced experience in handling government affairs, so although his suggestions are not necessarily much better than Lin Yanchao's, they are much more pragmatic.

Lin Yanchao had some things to take for granted, and after Pan Sheng's little push, he knew that his experience in handling political affairs was still shallow.

In the end, Lin Yanchao said to Pan Sheng with a sincere face: "Zhongtang is dedicated to the public, but the lower officials misunderstood Zhongtang in their hearts because of this matter, and they really don't want to go, so they make amends to Zhongtang here." ”

Pan Sheng smiled and said, "Where is Zong Hai, Yuan Fu...... It was the former Yuanfu who praised you in front of the old man, saying that you are the best among the young officials in the court today. The old man and Yuanfu have been friends for decades, but he has never seen him have such high expectations for any official, so Zong Hai should not disappoint him and the old man. In the future, if the old man does something wrong, you can tell me bluntly in person, and you don't need to have any scruples because the old man is old. ”

Lin Yanchao didn't expect Zhang Juzheng to have such a high opinion of himself in front of Pan Sheng, and remembered that day Zhang Juzheng's carriage slowly drove away from the imperial city.

Lin Yanchao's heart couldn't help but be touched, so he thanked Pan Sheng with a salute.

Lin Yanchao thought to himself, since the misunderstanding had been solved, did he want to remind Pan Sheng of Zhang Siwei's conspiracy to deal with him? But he promised Zhang Taizheng yesterday that he would not help each other, which is really difficult to be caught in it.

After half a ring, Lin Yanchao said: "Zhongtang is looking for a lower official, do you want the lower official to argue about this matter in front of the Son of Heaven?" ”

Pan Sheng nodded and said: "It is true, but the old man has already been on the fold this morning, and he will explain this matter to the Son of Heaven, it would be great if Zong Hai could explain a few more words to the old man." ”

Lin Yanchao breathed a sigh of relief, and said in his heart that Pan Sheng had been an official for many years, and he was still cautious, and it seemed that he was too worried. But for some reason, I vaguely felt that something was wrong.

But whether it's appropriate or not, Lin Yanchao thought that it was okay, and it was better not to get involved in the party dispute.

So Lin Yanchao retired from Pan Sheng's room.

Lin Yanchao didn't take a few steps away from Wenyuan Pavilion when he saw someone intercepting him and said, "Lin Zhong, please stay!" ”

Lin Yanchao saw that the person who came to intercept him was Dong Zhongshu, so he asked, "What does Dong Zhongshu have to say?" ”

Dong Zhongshu said: "I don't dare to teach it, but I heard that Lin Zhongyun just came out of the old duty room of Pan Ge, so I came to inquire." Pan Ge Lao summoned Lin Zhongyun to go, did he have anything to say to you? ”

Lin Yanchao knew that Dong Zhongshu was worried that he would report to Pan Sheng and leak the news that Zhang Siwei was going to deal with Pan Sheng. It doesn't hurt to explain it to him, but if Dong Zhongshu asks himself not to defend Pan Sheng, he will undoubtedly fall into a party dispute.

Zhang Siwei has a strong wrist, Pan Sheng has no chance of winning in this battle, and it will not be good if he offends Zhang Siwei if he doesn't tell him.

But if you don't think about the filth between Zhang Siwei and Pan Sheng, you can do what you should do, then this matter will be much simpler.

Lin Yanchao frowned and asked, "Everyone who enters and leaves the old duty room of Pan Pavilion, does Dong Zhongshu have to ask like this?" ”

Dong Zhongshu was unpleasant when he heard this: "Lin Zhongyun, don't pretend to be confused, you won't forget what we promised our son-in-law yesterday, right?" ”

When did Lin Yanchao ever be questioned like this in person?

Lin Yanchao raised his face and reprimanded: "Dong Zhongshu, you are also an old man in the cabinet, and you don't even know this rule?" Intercepting the elder's confession is like snooping on the privy councillor, what should be the crime? ”

"No matter what I say to Pan Ge Lao, you have no right to ask, if you must ask, please ask Lord Yuanfu to inquire in person, and I will explain to him face to face!"

Lin Yanchao scolded a few words angrily, attracting the fire people who passed by in the distance, and the palace people all looked over.

Dong Zhongshu's face was blue and white for a while, but Lin Yanchao took advantage of the words, and said that he could spy on the cabinet scholars and officials, and said that Lin Yanchao could refer to him.

Dong Zhongshu could only make amends and smiled: "Lin Zhongyun, I lost my word, can't I make amends to you?" Our elder and son both value and trust you very much, I just ask, did you keep your promise in the duty room? ”

Lin Yanchao sneered and said: "You don't have to think about anything from me, as for whether I am a person who keeps my promises, there is no need to explain to others, I still have important things to do, say goodbye!" ”

After speaking, Lin Yanchao brushed his sleeves and left.

Dong Zhongshu gritted his teeth when he saw Lin Yanchao like this, so he had to return to the duty room to report to Zhang Siwei.

Zhang Siwei suddenly changed color when he heard this, the tea cup in his hand fell to the ground, and the tea was spilled on the ground.

Dong Zhongshu knelt on the ground in fright when he saw it, and said repeatedly: "Yuan Fu is angry, angry." ”

Zhang Siwei ordered the cabinet official who heard the movement and entered the door to exit the door, and Fang sighed: "I have explained to you a few times, Lin Yanchao must not be offended, do you take it to heart?" ”

Dong Zhongshu kowtowed and apologized: "Elder Ge, I know that I am wrong, I didn't hold back, I forgot that you said that Lin Yanchao can be a friend and not an enemy. ”

Zhang Siwei said: "Not to mention that Lin Yanchao is even afraid of me, just talk about your interception of the cardinal of the Son of Heaven and spy on the words of the old man of the Pavilion, he can participate in your book at any time, you have been working by my side for many years, and you don't even know this bit of proportion." ”

Dong Zhongshu kowtowed again and again, and Zhang Siwei said: "You prepare a generous gift tonight to go to the Lin Mansion to make amends to Lin Yanchao, even if you kneel in front of him, you also want him to take this breath, if you can't, you will go back to your hometown in Shanxi." ”

Dong Zhongshu said in his heart that he was also the first assistant's confidant, and he didn't lose all his face when he went to make amends to Lin Yanchao. But he could only comply: "Yes, Motosuke. ”

Zhang Siwei waved his hand to signal him to get up, and Dong Zhongshu moved to clean up the fragments of the tea cup on the ground for Zhang Siwei.

After cleaning up, a cabinet official sent a secret letter, and Dong Zhongshu opened the letter and said: "There is news from the clerk's room, saying that Pan Sheng made an excerpt to the Son of Heaven early this morning, and this matter was before he summoned Lin Yanchao. ”

Zhang Siwei pinched his beard and said: "I see, I think it was yesterday's incident, he argued to the Son of Heaven, and then beat the old man, then he summoned Lin Yanchao to go to ask him to argue a few words for himself in front of the Son of Heaven." ”

Dong Zhongshu said angrily: "This kind of thing is not confidential, Lin Yanchao didn't talk to us?" ”

Zhang Siwei frowned and said: "What are you talking about, Lin Yanchao has already said that the two will not help each other, I don't see anything wrong with this matter." ”

Dong Zhongshu said: "But if this fold is handed over, won't the Son of Heaven understand his misunderstanding of Pan Sheng." Everything you laid out won't work. Whether to let Wei Yunzhen tomorrow and the kingdom slow down the impeachment of Pan Sheng. ”

Zhang Siwei shook his head and said: "No, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, right now, Pan Sheng's foundation for entering the cabinet is not stable, and Feng Bao has been sick again in the past few days, so he has no time to pay attention to the affairs of the court." If it's too late, Pan Sheng won't be able to move. ”

Dong Zhongshu offered a plan: "Yuanfu, I have a plan, it is better to let Wei Yunzhen and them impeach Pan Sheng before he goes to the book." ”

Zhang Siwei paced and muttered: "If you act in a hurry, you will be in a mess. Besides, the day is the death anniversary of Empress Xiaomu, and I have already asked His Majesty to send Yang Wuhou and Pan Sheng to pay tribute. And today Pan Sheng is still in the cabinet and cannot be opened. I think it's better for them to impeach Pan Sheng tomorrow. ”

Dong Zhongshu said: "Yuan Fu, if the Son of Heaven is not dissatisfied with Pan Sheng, this impeachment may not be possible. After all, Pan Sheng was the minister designated by the former Yuanfu to join the cabinet. ”

Zhang Siwei said: "It's okay, I will tell the clerical room to leave Pan Sheng's recital for one night, and present it to the Son of Heaven tomorrow." ”

Dong Zhongshu couldn't help but high-five and said: "Pavilion Lao is really a clever plan, if after the impeachment, the Son of Heaven sees Pan Sheng's book again, then it will not be a defense book, but a self-defense for fear of crime, but it will be more solid for his crimes." ”

"Pan Sheng is so difficult to escape the recall."

Zhang Siwei was not complacent and said: "I'm worried that Feng Bao will be angry because of this, he is sick now, and if he recovers, he will not rest." ”

"You asked Zhang Qi to bribe Xu Jue with 20,000 taels of silver tickets, and Zhang Dashou and the two of them, and let them say good things for me in front of Feng Bao, just say that I have no disrespect for Feng Bao, and I will stop after overthrowing Pan Sheng. Prepare another generous gift, I will go to the Liang Menglong Mansion of the Ministry of War tonight. ”

Liang Menglong is a fellow villager of Feng Bao, and his granddaughter is married to Feng Bao's brother Feng You, and is currently Feng Bao's most relied on minister in the court. However, Liang Menglong's clan moved from Shanxi and also had a friendship with Zhang Siwei.

Dong Zhongshu asked, "Why should the elder deign to go to Liang Menglong's mansion?" It would be nice to send someone to handle this matter. ”

Zhang Siwei said: "Liang Menglong participated in many confidential things of Feng Bao, and if it is spread out, the Empress Dowager of Heaven will not see it." The more I befriend Liang Menglong, the more Feng Bao throws a bogey. ”

The next day, Lin Yanchao was going to the Wenhua Hall to serve straight.

At this time, Dan saw the eunuchs in front of the door with a hurried look.

When Lin Yanchao saw Zhang Whale coming, he couldn't help asking, "What happened to Grandpa Zhang?" ”

Zhang Whale said in a panic: "Lin Zhongyun, Your Majesty is furious and wants to issue an order to dismiss Pan Ge Lao." ”

Lin Yanchao asked in surprise, "What's going on?" ”

Zhang Whale said: "Early this morning, His Majesty's palace dealt with government affairs, and he saw Zhejiang Daoist Shi Pan Shizhen and impeached Pan Ge for ten crimes. ”

"Later, there was a military department to Zhang Dingsi in the matter, a household department to Wang Jiguang in the matter, a military department to Sun Wei in the matter, a criminal department to Niu Weibing in the matter, and Wei Yunzhen in the imperial history, and the kingdom to impeach Pan Ge Lao as a cabinet scholar."

Lin Yanchao heard this list and knew that Zhang Siwei had done it, among the above impeached people, in addition to Pan Shizhen and Niu Weibing, who were Jinshi in the second year of Wanli, such as Zhang Dingsi, Wang Jiguang, Sun Wei, Wei Yunzhen, and Wang Guo were all Jinshi in the fifth year of Wanli.

In other words, these five people are all Zhang Siwei's protégés.

Lin Yanchao asked, "Did Elder Pan Ge hand over a recital to His Majesty?" ”

"Yes, His Majesty was only shocked when he saw the impeachment of the seven people, but Pan Ge Lao was immediately angry as soon as he wrote the book, and said that he wanted to dismiss Pan Ge Lao, and now ordered me to summon a few auxiliary ministers to discuss the matter. If he was there, he would be able to tell a few words. ”

After listening to Zhang Jing's words, Lin Yanchao knew that Pan Sheng could not escape his dismissal.
