There were more than 20,000 officials in the Ming Dynasty and more than 1,300 officials in Beijing, and it was difficult for the Son of Heaven to remember the names of the officials. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Generally speaking, if there are six Shangshu and two grades or above, the emperor will take the initiative to remember your name, and as for others, it depends on his own creation if he can be remembered by the Son of Heaven in his heart. There is an example of Hai Rui's death to Emperor Jiajing, so many Ming Dynasty officials in order to gain fame and gain a position, they all admonished the Son of Heaven, saying that the Son of Heaven is not good or that is not good. In this way, it can be remembered by the Son of Heaven, but it leaves a bad impression, and the emperor treats such ministers as selling their fame.

And Lin Yanchao does not engage in any means of being out of position, but he can be remembered by the Son of Heaven in the bottom of his heart, which is his ability.

The officials present were Shangshu Wang Guoguang, as well as Zeng Xingwu and others were all slightly thoughtful, as for Lin Yanchao's whereabouts, this should be answered by Chen Siyu of the Hanlin Academy.

However, at present, Lin Yanchao is working in the cabinet, and it is up to the three cabinet elders to answer.

Zhang Juzheng was silent, investigating the cabinet leak this time, it was his intention, but how to interrogate, he did not ask.

The affairs of the cabinet are generally handled by Zhang Siwei.

Zhang Juzheng was on the side of his body, and the rest of his eyes looked at the second assistant Zhang Siwei.

Zhang Siwei is also very difficult to answer at this moment, Lin Yanchao is the official of the banquet ordered by the Son of Heaven, which represents the Son of Heaven's appreciation of him. If he said at this moment that Lin Yanchao was involved in the leakage of secrets from the cabinet, he was taken down by Jinyiwei and detained for interrogation.

Isn't this a slap in the face of the emperor in front of so many people?

Zhang Siwei would never make this mistake, so he went out and said: "Back to Your Majesty, Lin Xiushu has a general affair, does Your Majesty want him to go to the Wenhua Hall to face the saint?" ”

Of course, Zhang Siwei can't say that Lin Xiushu can't come because he has a general affair, because the matter of the banquet lies in enlightening the king's heart and preaching to the Son of Heaven.

The affairs of the courtiers can never be more important than the affairs of the emperor, even if Lin Yanchao has affairs in his body, what affairs can be more important than the feast?

Zhang Siwei forcibly stood in front of the Son of Heaven and didn't let Lin Yanchao participate in the feast, which just didn't make sense.

The little emperor nodded when he heard this, Zhang Siwei said this, he would not be reluctant, could he ask Lin Yanchao why he couldn't come. But at this moment, Wu Qingbo Li Wei stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, Weichen heard that Lin Xiushu is the champion of the day and a master of scripture, if he is missing from the scripture feast, I am afraid he will lose a lot of color." ”

Wu Qingbo and Li Wei said this, obviously to dismantle Zhang Juzheng's platform. He has a lot of eyes and ears in the palace, and Lin Yanchao has not been to work in the cabinet for two days, so he will know about this matter after a little inquiry.

Li Wei did this in order to bring the cabinet leak to the front of the imperial court.

The cabinet is under the management of Zhang Juzheng, and if the cabinet leaks secrets and is poked out at the banquet, it will undoubtedly hit Zhang Juzheng's prestige, and the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty will feel that he has no way to do it. The little emperor didn't understand the situation either, one was his most trusted Shoufu, and the other was his grandfather. But the little emperor was also keenly aware of the tense atmosphere between the two.

How should he deal with himself?

The little emperor smiled and said, "Uncle Wu Qing is really more anxious than me!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the courtiers laughed in agreement, and the tension between Zhang Juzheng and Li Wei eased a lot. The courtiers who know the details are all admiring the wit of the little emperor, and if you want to use sycophantic words, it is becoming more and more like the first emperor.

Wu Qingbo Li Wei smiled and said, "Your Majesty, it's the minister who is reckless. ”

The little prince helped Zhang Juzheng speak, and planned to expose the matter in one sentence.

But Zhang Juzheng didn't appreciate it, but when he saw him out of class, he said: "Your Majesty, Wu Qingbo is not impatient. Weichen felt that this Lin Xiu was talking about his own affairs, and he couldn't go to the banquet in person, and he was guilty of despising the emperor. Your Majesty, the minister asked Lin Xiu to go to the Wenhua Palace, but the minister wanted to ask him why he couldn't come. ”

Zhang Juzheng said this, and Li Wei's face suddenly froze. He wanted to poke out the cabinet leak, but Zhang Juzheng not only suppressed it, but also dared to let Lin Yanchao come to the Wenhua Palace. Do you not take me seriously, or do you not care about fame at all?

Zhang Juzheng said this, and the little emperor didn't know what to do at this time, and then he heard Feng Bao cough lightly beside him.

The little emperor smiled and said, "Okay, since Mr. Zhang asked so, I also want to see what Lin Xiushu missed the scripture feast for?" Sun Long, you can go and ask Lin Xiushu to come here! ”

Coming out of the Wenhua Palace, Sun Long said that he was panicked at the moment.

Sun Long is a close confidant eunuch of the Son of Heaven, and at this moment, he was sent out of the Wenhua Hall by the Son of Heaven to find Lin Yanchao, where did he find it?

He is a man from all over the world among the eunuchs, that is, he is very popular, and he is also a number one figure in the celebrant eunuch.

The most powerful of the celebrant eunuchs is the palm seal eunuch, who is in charge of the right to approve red, and the second is the most powerful person among the eunuchs of Bingbi, who is in charge of the East Factory, which is also the factory official who makes the civil officials and ministers frightened.

Now Feng Bao is also a eunuch with a palm seal, and he is also the commander of the East Factory. But Sun Long was friendly with Feng Bao, and he could talk in the East Factory, so he sent someone to the East Factory first, and when he asked Fanzi, he knew Lin Yanchao's whereabouts. When Sun Long learned of Lin Yanchao's current situation, he was immediately shocked.

At that moment, Sun Long rushed straight to Xique Gate.

But when Sun Long arrived, the Jinyi guard stationed there was about to stop him, but when he saw the bullfighting suit on him, he was immediately startled and hurriedly bowed down.

Sun Long asked, "Who are you in charge of here?" ”

The gatekeeper replied, "It's Lord Qianhu." ”

"Hurry up and report to the miscellaneous family! I'm so mad at you. Sun Long said with a sharp voice.

He Guan, Ma Gong is trying the case at the moment, and after being reported by Jinyiwei, the two of them went out immediately.

Seeing Sun Long, He Guan, and Ma Gong's reactions were also different.

Ma Gong looked at Sun Long, when he was a discipline officer in the last court, he had seen the other party, and he also knew that this person was a eunuch favored by the Son of Heaven. However, as a dignified imperial historian and a civil official with integrity, how could he salute such a eunuch. If this spreads, it will not be looked down upon by the Qingliu officials in the court.

So Ma Gong turned sideways and didn't even say hello.

And as soon as He Guan saw Sun Long, he was like a mouse seeing a cat, and first said: "The villain's subordinate Mu En He Guan visited Sun Gonggong, Sun Gonggong is blessed." ”

After speaking, He Guan pushed the golden mountain and poured the jade pillar, knocked his head three times in a row, and then his body swayed.

Ma Gong saw that He Guan was so afraid of a eunuch, and he also understood.

This is also the system in today's court, since Lu Bing's death, Jinyiwei can be said to be Wang Xiaoer's New Year's Eve.

This year is not as good as a year, not that from the beginning of the dynasty, Jinyiwei has no effect on the suppression of civil officials.

It's that the head of Jinyiwei has changed, so the glorious days are gone.

Since Lu Bing, Jinyiwei has been directly subordinate to the East Factory, which is equivalent to the current head of Jinyiwei, which is the jurisdiction of this group of Tai Supervisors. Now, even if the dignified Jinyi Guard commander meets the eunuch of the Admiral Dongchang, he has to kneel and kowtow.

Not to mention He Guan, the deputy of Jinyi Wei. At this moment, he saw a powerful figure like Sun Long in the ceremonial prison, and suddenly came to inspect, feeling that he had committed something, and he was so afraid that he couldn't do it. (To be continued.) )
