Li Zhi's letter was left by the Son of Heaven.

Staying in the middle is to reserve opinions, rather than refute them, which is equivalent to giving other imperial histories confidence, and now Yang Keli and other imperial histories are playing again to impeach Pan Jitao.

Their crime is that when His Majesty issued an edict to confuse Zhang Juzheng's family, Pan Jitao ran around and discussed this matter, which was reprimanded as the crime of the minister and the king, and should be degraded.

The Son of Heaven couldn't sit still anymore, so he ordered Pan Ji, the secretary of the Criminal Department, to be deposed as a citizen and take his life.

Hearing this news, Yushitai celebrated.

Previously, Ding Jilu used the attack on Gao Qiyu to create a major case of Zhang Dang's remnants, and wanted to use this to force Shen Shi to resign.

But Shen Shixing stabilized, and instead taught a few officials who jumped out. So Yushitai looked for another opportunity, Zeng Qianheng patrolled Henan, and wanted to take down Lin Yanchao with the case of the burning of the river yard, and attack Shen Shixing in disguise, but failed. So the officials opened up another battlefield and impeached and dismissed Pan Jitao, a remnant of the Zhang Party. Pan Jitao is Shen Shixing's assistant, and he is the general of the Shen Party in the court, and his departure is greater than Lin Yanchao's dethronement of the official and the people, and the loss to Shen Shixing is greater, and it also shakes the trust of the Son of Heaven in Shen Shixing.

Moreover, the official also took advantage of Pan Jitao's incident to reopen the interrogation of Zhang Juzheng's case, and wiped out the efforts of Shen Shixing, Lin Yanchao and others during the last time a hundred officials admonished him.

As soon as Pan Jitao is gone, the current phase of the court is at the most dangerous moment. As long as Shen Shixing falls, then there will be a repeat of the situation in which the court officials are vying to impeach the minister.

At this moment, Qiu Huan's impeachment recital will arrive in Beijing immediately, and what kind of big wave will it set off at that time......

And Lin Yanchao is in the Tongzhi Office of Guide Prefecture, but he has lived an 'N-day' long holiday where he doesn't have to work every day and can rest at home.

At present, in the Tongzhi Office, the gates that can be entered and exited are guarded by brocade guards. No one is allowed to enter or leave except for food, and no traffic is cut off.

Qiu Huan's move was obvious, controlling Lin Yanchao.

He has had a showdown with Lin Yanchao. He was afraid that Lin Yanchao would leak the matter of Henan officialdom to Shen Shixing by his secretary, or report it to the Son of Heaven in the form of a secret performance. In this way, he is tantamount to abandoning his previous efforts.

Of course, Qiu Hu guarded against Lin Yanchao's hand, otherwise he would have been an official for decades in vain.

But since there is nothing to do, I can't work. Lin Yanchao was also happy to be idle, accompanied his wife and children in the house, drank tea every day and chatted with Sun Chengzong and Qiu Mingshan, and the Jinyi guards who took care of him mixed for a few days, and they were also familiar.

The brocade guards all knew that Lin Yanchao was just monitoring and guarding for a while, and he didn't commit anything, so they were very polite. For people like Lin Yanchao who went in and out of the edict and were still unscathed, they have always dared not offend.

On this day, Jinyiwei rotated, Zhao Da and Zhang Wu happened to come to Lin Yanchao's mansion on an errand.

Lin Yanchao summoned the two into the house and secretly ordered a few words.

The next day, Jinyi Weidu commanded Cao Yingkui to also go to the house in person.

At that time, Lin Yanchao was practicing calligraphy in the study, and the pen was dancing with dragons and phoenixes.

The brocade guard outside the house was about to enter to make a report, Cao Yingkui waved his hand to signal that there was no need to disturb, and stood outside the window of the study and waited.

After Lin Yanchao finished writing, Cao Yingkui entered, picked up Lin Yanchao's words, and praised: "It's really a good word, when I was in Beijing, but Fan Shizi was proud of the character of Sima at home." Today's word, I don't know if it can be given to this official. ”

Lin Yanchao said with a smile: "Of course, of course, I didn't know that the envoy of Jin Wu had come to miss the welcome, and I would like to forgive me." ”

Cao Yingkui smiled, asked the entourage to accept the words, and then said: "Don't dare, in the past, when I was in Beijing, Sima was an official for the Son of Heaven, and the lower officials have always been but have no chance to meet him." I'm going to see you today. ”

Lin Yanchao said: "Eh, don't mention the past." At present, I have been demoted to Guide by His Majesty, and I am no longer the original Qing Hanlin. ”

Cao Yingkui smiled and said: "But whoever is the confidant of the Son of Heaven, who doesn't know that Sima Jian is in the emperor's heart, this time Sima Zhi Guide, but the Son of Heaven has another call, and he will return to Beijing one day to worship." ”

Lin Yanchao smiled, and said in his heart that Cao Yingkui knew a lot.

Cao Yingkui said: "This official has no other intention to come here today, just to see if Lin Sima is doing here." ”

Lin Yanchao said: "The lower officials are still good, and Lao Jinwu is worried." ”

After speaking, the two of them pushed left and right.

Cao Yingkui asked Lin Yanchao: "Lin Sima, what do you mean by letting people call this official to the mansion?" ”

Lin Yanchao said: "Jin Wu envoy, do you know the relationship between me and the overseer? ”

Cao Yingkui said: "I know, when I left Beijing, the governor repeatedly explained that I wanted this official to take care of you." ”

You must know that the factory supervisor of the factory east of Zhang Whale is in charge of the factory guard. The East Factory monitors Jinyiwei, so Jinyiwei is still semi-subordinate to the East Factory.

Lin Yanchao said with a smile: "That's good, so you and I are a family, don't say anything else." ”

Cao Yingkui said cautiously: "If Sima Lin has something, you might as well say it directly." ”

Lin Yanchao took a letter from his sleeve and said: "I also asked the envoy of Jin Wu to transfer this secret fold to the head of the cabinet on behalf of the lower officials, and the lower officials are grateful." ”

Cao Yingkui took the chapter and said: "Sima Lin, the Zhang Jiangling case was handled by me and Du Xian. At that time, the case of Zhang's mansion was halfway through the trial, Zhang Jingxiu hanged himself, and Zhang Cheng, the celebrant of ceremonies, submitted it to His Majesty. Before the officials in the capital knew about it, they wrote letters to ask me and Duxian in every possible way, which made the two of us very passive. ”

"Now that the facts of the case have not been made public, how can this official help you?"

Lin Yanchao said: "Du Xian wants to make this case an iron case, how can the 125 officials in Henan be caught in one go?" In such a country, where is the dignity of the imperial court? I can only play this matter as soon as possible, and submit it to His Majesty's Imperial Review before the arrival of the Duxian Concert in Beijing, so as to preserve the national system. ”

Cao Yingkui understood what Lin Yanchao meant, if Qiu Hu's recital was made public in the General Administration, then it would definitely be boiling in the government and the opposition.

Hearing the truth of the Hegong crime, then the Son of Heaven must be in a dilemma, dismissing these 125 officials, half of the officials in Henan Province have gone, the court is shaken, and the officials and the people are also amazed at how the court can have such a big malpractice, and lose confidence in the court.

If these 125 officials are not dismissed, then the reputation of the Son of Heaven will be damaged, and the officials and the people will also be scolded. The emperor became the finger of a thousand people.

Therefore, Qiu Huan's recital, whether the Son of Heaven agrees or not, the consequences of this matter will be out of control.

Lin Yanchao explained this thoroughly, and then said: "Jin Wu envoy, Du Xian has already put life and death aside, why don't you think about your future?" ”

It's Qiu Huan's recital, he must have no good fruit to eat, do you want Cao Yingkui to accompany him into the water?

Cao Yingkui put away the chapter and said with a calm face: "Lin Sima, you underestimate me Cao someone too much, I came to investigate the murder of this imperial history, how can I be a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, greedy for glory and wealth!" How to put justice in the place? ”
