The Ming Dynasty has always insisted on two independent systems, the inner and the outer dynasties. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Because of the independent promotion system of the Hanlin Academy, the Zhan Mansion, and the cabinet, it is almost impossible for an internal court official to serve as an external court official for life. As for the foreign court officials, they must not serve as the internal court officials.

When Zhang Juzheng was Hanlin, he deeply felt the occlusion of the ministers, whenever there were salt officials, customs envoys, and tun horse envoys, each according to the messenger to return to the court, Zhang Juzheng immediately brought a pot of wine, came to the door to ask for advice, asked about the interests and misfortunes, because of the profit and loss, and the corruption and obstruction. After returning home, Zhang Juzheng took notes on the bonlight again.

Inner court officials such as Hanlin even ignored the foreign court officials below the six Shangshu.

When Lu Guangzu was the servant of the Ministry of Officials, he was very angry, he said that there were fourth-class creatures in the capital, and he didn't know how to avoid his dignified sedan chair. The first class is the eunuch, the first class is the woman, the first class is the elephant who enters the court, and the first class is the Jishi.

The inner court officials are like this, so the outer court officials are also not low-level inner court officials.

Therefore, when Lin Yanchao came to Que Zuomen, in addition to a few familiar scholars and servants, such as Siqing, the head of the ministry, and the imperial history, they were all indifferent to him in the matter.

Many officials are above Lin Yanchao, and they are all Zhang Juzheng's henchmen, so they will not take the initiative to make friends with Lin Yanchao.

So after Lin Yanchao turned around, he saw that no one cared about him, so he stood aside with interest.

Officials whispered.

"When will even the speaker be allowed to participate in the council?"

"It's not by holding His Majesty's dragon feet on weekdays."

"It's okay for these ministers to find chapters and sentences, but it's okay to forget about national events."

"This is not necessarily, Lin Sanyuan mentions the study of meritorious service, which is to do practical things and do meritorious work."

"I have never seen it before, so it's better to talk about it on paper."

"I'll ignore it later, and I'll object to whatever he mentions in a while, so he won't have the shame to come to the court again."

"Yes, we'll see how he gets off the stage in a moment."

While everyone was discussing, Chen Jiong, the imperial historian of the left capital, came to the eaves with the roster and began to roll call.

Facing Chen Wei, the boss of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, all the officials did not dare to speak, otherwise they would be targeted by the imperial history and would definitely have no good fruit to eat. When Chen Wei shouted a name, all the officials replied, and the officials were there.

"Zhan Shifu Zuo Chunfang Zuo Zhongyun, Hanlin Academy attendant Lin Yanchao!"

Lin Yanchao replied: "The lower official is here." ”

After Lin Yanchao finished answering, many eyes came, except for Yushi and Kedao, most of them were scarlet robes.

Facing their gaze, Lin Yanchao smiled a little flatteringly. He took the bullfighting suit to wash yesterday, and today he came to wear an ordinary six-grade official uniform, which is inconspicuous.

These eunuchs glanced at Lin Yanchao, and then turned their heads away.

After Chen Wei finished the roll call, he said solemnly: "The officials of the ministry and temple are in the north, and the officials of the science and road are in the south, and they are in the sequence according to their official positions. ”

After the officials said yes, they immediately took their places. When the officials were in order, they were ranked high and low, and there was no confusion on the spot, and there was no controversy.

After the officials were arranged, there was only one person under the eaves.

When all the officials saw it, they couldn't help but laugh, and they all looked like they knew this before.

Chen Wei saw that all the officials were in their places, but only one official did not listen to his orders and did not belong to the list, so he couldn't help but be angry: "Who is under the door? Not in class yet? ”

Chen Yan was old, and he couldn't help but be dizzy, although Lin Yanchao was only ten meters in front of him, he didn't recognize it.

The boss of the Yushitai was angry, of course, the consequences were very serious, but Lin Yanchao could only stand helplessly, and then saluted: "General Constitution, the lower official Zhan Shifu allows Lin Yanchao, I don't know where to be included?" ”

The officials laughed teasingly, and a few of them were also happy to watch Lin Yanchao make a fool of himself.

Chen Wei listened and suddenly said, "It turned out to be Lin Zhongyun of Zhan Shifu." ”

Chen Wei paused and asked the officials on the side: "In the past court discussions, where did the officials of the Hanlin Academy of the Zhan Mansion stand?" ”

The officials on the side were also stunned, and then said: "Back to the General Constitution, the officials of the Zhan Mansion and the Hanlin Mansion have not participated in the court meeting for a long time. Where did he last stand, the villain doesn't remember. ”

Hearing Chen Biao's conversation with the officials, all the officials below also laughed out loud, not polite at all.

The officials seemed to say in laughter, the court discussion is a matter within the duties of the officials of the outer court, and you are an official of the inner court to join in the fun.

At this time, Pan Sheng said unhurriedly: "Come on, show Lin Zhongyun a seat." ”

Under this sentence, the officials present were all stunned.

"What kind of big uncle is actually going to give Lin Sanyuan a seat?" The officials were incredulous.

The little official also thought that he had heard it wrong, and asked Pan Sheng again: "Dare to ask Uncle Zong, where is this?" ”

Pan Sheng didn't speak, but reached out and patted the right armrest of the Taishi chair.

A small official said yes, and immediately moved a Taishi chair and rested it on Pan Sheng's right hand side.

In the stunned eyes of the officials, Lin Yanchao lifted the hem of his official robe, calmly walked up the steps in front of the door, and bowed to Pan Sheng and Zhang Siwei who were sitting under the eaves, and then swaggered to the Taishi chair and sat down.

After sitting down, Lin Yanchao pressed the armrests of the Taishi chair with both hands and looked down, but saw that the officials were all standing with their hands down facing him.

Everyone's expressions fell on the bottom of their eyes one by one.

Lin Yanchao couldn't help but say, this angle is just right, no wonder everyone likes to sit in the main seat, it feels good to see everyone at a glance like this.

At this moment, in the hearts of all the officials, there seemed to be tens of thousands of *** rushing by, and they were saying in their hearts, how could this Lin Yanchao be able to sit side by side with Pan Sheng, a scholar of the Ministry of Rites, and Zhang Siwei, a scholar of Wuyingdian University.

You must know that even bigwigs like Chen Ji, the imperial historian of Zuodu, can only stand, but you Lin Yanchao can actually sit, what is the reason? Did Pan Sheng take the wrong medicine?

At this time, Dan listened to Pan Sheng and said slowly: "According to Your Majesty's instructions, Lin Zhongyun of Zhan Shifu attended the court meeting. ”

The officials suddenly realized that Lin Yanchao was here on behalf of the Son of Heaven. In the past, there was also an example of the emperor not participating in the court meeting, but he wanted to know what the ministers were talking about, so he sent a eunuch to observe.

For example, Emperor Ming Jing wanted to be easy to store, ordered the ministers to discuss the court, and sent the eunuch Xing'an to observe. Although the ministers did not agree with Yi Chu, they were afraid that their opposition would be known by the Son of Heaven, so they wore small shoes and had to agree to Yi Chu's matter.

However, this is usually a relatively important court discussion.

But this time it's just an ordinary court meeting, why did Lin Yanchao come?

So all the officials thought that Lin Yanchao was conferring the favor of the Son of Heaven, and they all thought of a possibility, whether the Son of Heaven wanted to inspect and appoint ministers, so they sent their confidants to the court to investigate.

That's right, Pan Sheng, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, is the next popular candidate to enter the cabinet, as soon as Pan Sheng enters the cabinet, the position of the secretary of the Ministry of Rites is empty, is the Son of Heaven taking advantage of this court discussion to inspect the candidates?

Thinking of this, the attitude of the officials immediately changed.

As for Lin Yanchao, he smiled, and said in his heart that the person who dug a hole for himself this time should have lifted a stone to shoot himself in the foot.
