In front of Zhang's mansion, the sun was vicious, ruthlessly roasting the hundred officials in front of the mansion. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

All the officials were sweaty and sweaty, wiping their sweat with their hands in the sun, and several elderly officials looked shaky.

Lin Yanchao was also too hot, so he couldn't be greedy, so he drank two bowls of mung bean porridge. Anyway, when Lin Yanchao came, he just went through the motions with the crowd, purely to make up the number of people, but he couldn't help but come, and he didn't come for fear that he would offend Zhang Juzheng.

Just as Lin Yanchao was drinking the second bowl of mung bean soup, a small official from Zhang's Mansion came over and said to Lin Yanchao: "Champion Lang, Xiangye is invited." ”

Lin Yanchao was surprised when he heard this. And the officials on the side also reacted.

"How could Xiangye summon the champion?"

"yes, what's going on?"

"I think it's not good for Zhuangyuanlang to go."

"It's strange that Zhuang Yuanlang ate two bowls of mung bean soup, you offended Zhang Xiang."

"What is the reason for offending Zhang Xiang by eating two bowls of mung bean soup?"

"You don't understand this, one bowl of mung bean soup is for respect, and two bowls of mung bean soup are for the courtesy."

"This ...... How is this more polite? ”

"Brother, let me tell you, the slightest detail in this officialdom is a rule, a courtesy, no difference, no mistake. One bowl of mung bean soup is respectful, and two bowls of mung bean soup are indecent. ”

"The elder brother is really insightful, the younger brother admires it so much, please give me more guidance in the future."

"Of course, of course. Little brother, you have to learn more and watch more, the water in officialdom is deep. ”

When Lin Yanchao saw that the little official was coming to invite, he immediately put down the bowl and asked definitely: "Xiangye invited me?" ”

The little official nodded with a smile, he deserved to be a member of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and his every move had the posture of a seven-rank official.

Lin Yanchao didn't say anything, and immediately walked into Zhang's Mansion from the side door with the little official, and several officials were surprised to see Lin Yanchao leave Zhang's Mansion. Everyone estimated that Lin Yanchao was bad etiquette.

Lin Yanchao entered Zhang's mansion. Among them, the pavilions and pavilions were not narrated one by one, and he was led outside a side hall through the corner door, and the little official went inside to report.

Lin Yanchao walked to this side hall, and he felt a chill on his body, and the side hall was extremely cool, eliminating the heat of early summer.

Lin Yanchao couldn't help but be surprised. There is no lush vegetation near this side hall, and there is no water pavilion nearby, how can it be so shady?

Later, Lin Yanchao took a closer look and realized that there were more than a dozen large barrels placed near the side hall, which were probably filled with ice cubes. With these ice cubes, it is so cool near this side hall.

Looking at this 'air conditioner' of the Ming Dynasty, Lin Yanchao also admired, it was really generous, I heard that Zhang Ju was just enjoying luxury. It's really not blown.

Soon the door opened, but I saw an official wearing a scarlet robe and a peacock complement walking out of the side hall.

Seeing that the other party was a member of the third grade, Lin Yanchao didn't dare to slack off, and immediately worshipped: "Xiaguan Lin Yanchao meets the adult." ”

Although this official was sixty years old, he was full of energy, helped Lin Yanchao up, and said with a smile: "Champion Lang." Is mung bean soup good? ”

Lin Yanchao was also drunk when he heard this, and the Prime Minister invited himself to come. It really can't be for these two bowls of mung bean soup.

However, the other party had no sense of accountability, but a joking tone.

So Lin Yanchao also smiled and said: "Given by Xiangye, it is excellent." ”

The other party pinched his beard and smiled, pulled a gold folding fan from his sleeve, and then said: "Old man Wang Zhen, I don't know if Zhuang Yuanlang has heard of it." ”

Lin Yanchao said in his heart. It turned out to be Wang Yiling, and he said at the moment: "It's Shao Sikou, disrespectful and disrespectful." ”

Wang Seal, his hometown is Yiling, so the court calls him Wang Yiling. He is currently a squire in the Criminal Department. Wang Zhu and Zeng Xingwu are both Zhang Juzheng's hometowns, and Wang Zhu and Zhang Juzheng are also related by marriage, and they are also Zhang Juzheng's most confidants.

Now the left waiter of the Ministry of Officials Yao Hongmo Zhishi, the left waiter of the Ministry of Officials is vacant. According to the practice of the imperial court, if there is a vacancy in the minister above the third grade, the court will push it, and if there is a vacancy below the third grade, the ministry will push it.

The left waiter of the ministry is a position that is popular with many people, and the court pushes the result of replacing Yao Hongmo with Yao Hongmo as the left waiter of the ministry, and this official appointment is about to come down.

Soon Wang Seal will be called Shaozai.

After Zhu Yuanzhang abolished the prime minister, he decreed that future generations would dare to reconsider the prime minister's death.

In the Ming Dynasty, although the head of the cabinet was respectfully called Zaifu, he was not a veritable prime minister.

The first assistant of the cabinet, only after obtaining the support of the minister's secretary, mastering the vote, and electing the two powers, can he be called the real prime minister.

Yan Song and Gao Gong were both cabinet ministers and officials, so they can be called real prime ministers. As for Zhang Juzheng, he is even more skillful, and the Ministry of Shangshu Wang Guoguang is his own person, and now after Wang Zhen has become a young ruler, the Ministry of Officials is directly surnamed Zhang.

As Zhang Juzheng's hardcore, what Wang Zhen is doing in Zhang's mansion is really intriguing.

Lin Yanchao was speculating, but when he saw a row of scarlet official robes exposed in the door of the side hall, he immediately understood that Wang Zhan was not alone in Zhang's mansion.

But Lin Yanchao still asked knowingly: "I don't know what the young priest has to teach the lower officials?" ”

At this time, Wang Zhan followed Lin Yanchao's gaze, glanced into the side hall, and said with a smile: "It's not the official who passed on you, but the master who passed on you." ”

Lin Yanchao raised his head in a daze, three points were really surprised, and seven points pretended to ask: "What is the important matter of the Xiangye passing down the officials?" ”

Wang Zhen opened the folding fan and shook it lightly and said with a smile: "This old man doesn't know, he rushed out and was about to ask Zhuang Yuanlang." ”

Lin Yanchao said: "This ...... This official was confused. ”

Wang Zhan patted Lin Yanchao's shoulder with a folding fan, and said with a smile: "It's okay if you don't know, it's important to know how to say it when the time comes." ”

This is a dumb riddle for himself, Lin Yanchao simply pretended to be confused and said, "Please show it to the young master." ”

Wang Zhen smiled and said: "At the beginning of the palace test, Xiangye once recommended the champion to the Son of Heaven, Xiangye treated you with kindness!" ”

Lin Yanchao said: "Of course, Xiangye is in Xia Bole. ”

Wang Zhen nodded with satisfaction and said, "That's good, the old man appreciates the person who knows the grace the most." ”

This is the little official on the side and said: "Wang Sikou, the prime minister has invited the champion." ”

Wang Zhen nodded, and immediately lowered his voice and said to Lin Yanchao: "If the Xiangye talks about the matter of Zhishi's retreat for a while, you must persuade him no matter what, so that he will repay the Xiangye's great kindness." Remember, remember. ”

Lin Yanchao was full of thoughts, and followed the little official into the inner courtyard of Zhang's mansion.

The inner courtyard was very quiet, and there was no one to walk, and after leading to a room, the little official said to Lin Yanchao: "This is Xiangye's study, and Zhuang Yuanlang is waiting here." ”

After speaking, the little official stood aside with his hands down.

Lin Yanchao looked inside the bookstore, looked at the desk, and the bookcase was full of dossiers and official documents. At this moment, he put down his full mind, and suddenly his heart trembled, your sister, I want to see Zhang Juzheng?

Isn't this living in a dream? (To be continued.) )
