Chapter 922: Success doesn't have to be me

What is a villain, Lin Yanchao behaved like this.

Officialdom generally maintains harmony, and conflicts are resolved internally as much as possible.

Something like dredging the Jialu River would be good for everyone to discuss internally. You bring him up and tell him to the servants, what is this for?

That's right, I know that the dredging of the Jialu River was won by you from the province by the Guide Mansion, and the province sold it in the face of Fu Zhiyuan's promotion to the political envoy of Youbu, so I agreed.

Well, it's a bit unkind for us to unload the mill and kill the donkey like this, but ...... But what is called family ugliness should not be publicized!

Of course, the officials of Kaifeng Mansion didn't want Lin Yanchao to spread the truth everywhere, and now they are all anxious in their hearts.

Shen Tongzhi coughed dryly twice, and came forward to say: "Today's promotion of Lin Futai is a day of great joy, we have to congratulate well, don't mention this matter." Besides, it is easy for the heavenly officials to come to the place, we have to do the friendship of the landlord, this little thing is insignificant, Lin Futai, we will discuss it tomorrow. ”

Lin Yanchao glanced at Shen Tongzhi and asked, "Discuss?" ”

The implication is that Shen Tongzhi knows how many catties and taels you have to discuss with me?

Li Zihua looked left and right, but he kept pondering in his heart.

When Li Zihua heard that Yang Wei, the secretary of the ministry, came forward, he knew that things were different.

Other officials can only see Yang Wei alone, this is because their official position is not high, so the angle of view is not enough, but Li Zihua knows the affairs of the court and can see the shadow of Shen Shixing from Yang Wei's back.

Who is Yang Wei? Officials of the Ministry of Books.

Who is Lin Yanchao? Shousuke's protégé.

It is rumored outside that Shen Shixing and Yang Wei formed a party.

In the Gao Qiyu case, the official impeached Yang Wei and Shen Shixing on this point, forcing them to resign, and the two almost dismissed together.

Although the two of them said in the recital of self-defense to the Son of Heaven, we are not a party, the two of us are innocent, and we have never done hair together.

But no one believes it, and that's exactly what it is.

Above the court, why is he so jealous, and the official secretary is appointed as a cabinet scholar, because he has the two powers of 'vote' and 'election', he can be called the real prime minister.

After Zhang Siwei became the first assistant, Feng Bao attacked him, and the first thing was to dismount Zhang Siwei's fellow countryman Shangshu Wang Guoguang, otherwise the ministry and cabinet would be one, and Feng Bao would not be able to eat and walk around.

Yang Wei supported Lin Yanchao, that is, the secretary of the Ministry of Shangshu fell to Shen Shixing.

If the first assistant has the support of the minister, he can be called the prime minister, and if he has the support of the celebrant and the celebrant again, he can be called a minister.

Shen Shixing's status is not the same now, this time Lin Yanchao was promoted to the prefect, whether there is a son of heaven or not, Chen Ju's support, he Li Zihua does not know. But he was sure that Shen Shixing had contributed, and Shen Shixing gave a word of instruction to the Ministry of Shangshu, and pushed his protégé to the position of prefect.

Such a power operation is simply terrifying.

Therefore, Li Zihua knew that when Shen Shixing interfered in the dredging of the Jialu River, it was impossible to do anything.

And his intention to tie up with Chen Ju failed, and he also offended Lin Yanchao.

Li Zihua didn't know why Shen Shixing valued Lin Yanchao so much, but today he understood.

In the eighth year of Wanli, only Sandingjia entered the Hanlin Academy.

And Sanding Jia, Zhang Maoxiu was demoted to the magistrate, and there should be no possibility of turning over in this life. And Xiao Liangyou heard that he was not a successful person.

There is only Lin Yanchao, why is Shen Shixing cultivating Lin Yanchao so much?

Because he is the only one of Shin Shixing's protégés who has the potential to become a cabinet scholar.

This is the heir to the mantle!

Li Zihua regretted it, but said with a smile on his face: "I just listened to the holy decree, one is Lin Futai, and the other is to let Lin Futai be responsible for this matter?" Of course, we have to respect the hadith and follow it. ”

Li Zihua's words are to seek peace.

Lin Yanchao sneered three times in his heart, aren't you a dick just now? Isn't it arrogant? Go on!

No matter how big you are the governor of Li Zihua's river, can you be as big as the Holy Mandate and the Son of Heaven?

Can you use the governor of the river to press me, but I can't use the Son of Heaven to press you?

Of course, he can't say this, Lin Yanchao just put it in his heart, since he is in the officialdom, he can only stop at the point to save face.

This is the rule of officialdom, and everyone must abide by it.

But Lin Yanchao asked: "Dare to ask the river governor how to discuss this?" ”

Yes, I don't want to dismiss you to your face, but I'm going to make it clear today.

In the past, it was impossible for Lin Yanchao to force Li Zihua to express his stance so much, people can dump you at any time and leave.

But now he is the prefect.

is a fourth-grade official, wearing a scarlet robe, and can be called a local official.

And Chen Jingbang, the servant of the ministry, was still watching.

Li Zihua smiled, Chen Jingbang also smiled, he deliberately did not speak, pretending not to understand.

But Chen Jingbang didn't say anything, just stood like this, and Li Zihua had to answer.

So Li Zihua pondered his words and said, "Since that's the case, okay, what does this think the governor thinks is like this?" The new river and the old river will be dredged at the same time, and this matter will be completed within this year to solve the people's livelihood plan. ”

"This is an explanation to the emperor, and for my generation, it is for the official and for the benefit of one party!"

obviously suffered a big loss, Li Zihua can still say such deafening words, this cheek is as thick as the city wall.

But seeing Lin Yanchao, he said with a smile: "The words of the river governor are really loud!" The lower officials thanked the people for returning to Germany. ”

Lin Yanchao was the first to approve, and the other officials of the Guide Mansion were also full of joy and thanked them in unison. If the matter of dredging the Jialu River reaches Guide, the common people will not be allowed to run to tell each other, and everyone will celebrate.

This is the first thing Lin Yanchao fought for the people of Guide after he was promoted to the prefect, and this is also where his political achievements lie.

The only fly in the ointment is that the voice is a little small, and there are not many officials in Germany, so the cheers are a little lonely and scattered.

Lin Yanchao glanced sideways, Shen Tongzhi and most of the Kaifeng Mansion officials present.

The meaning in that look clearly said, why didn't you react at all, didn't River Governor Li Zihua say it badly? Aren't you impressed?

Don't you rejoice in the words 'serve as an official and benefit one party'?

Chen Jingbang, the servant of the ministry, also followed Lin Yanchao's gaze.

Seeing this, Shen Tongzhi could only say with tears in his eyes: "We will keep in mind the words of Taiwan. ”

"Being an official for one term and benefiting one party is really the first priority of our officials."

"It's a wonderful and thought-provoking statement."

Li Zihua also accepted the congratulations of the officials, and said with a smile: "The governor is here to thank all my colleagues for their support, the emperor has every opportunity, but he can care about such a small matter as the dredging of the Jialu River." ”

"We are all officials, so that we can repay the emperor's grace."

All the officials admired, what does it mean to knock out a tooth and swallow blood, such a skill, Lord Governor, who is you.

And Lin Yanchao smiled and said nothing.

At the moment, Li Zihua and Lin Yanchao invited Chen Jingbang to take a seat. After the servant came, the cook re-prepared the dishes.

But Chen Jingbang said: "No need, I see that you haven't moved a few chopsticks, and the official only congratulated Lin Futai on his promotion with thin wine." ”

Chen Jingbang glanced at the dishes on the banquet, and couldn't help but smile in surprise: "I heard that Henan is not rich, but what I saw with my own eyes today knows that this is true." ”

Li Zihua explained a few words with a smile, but Henan is poor, and our officials should lead by example.

Chen Jingbang casually complimented him, but Chen Jingbang's entourage on the side sneered in his heart, this meal is not as good as what our subordinates eat.

What to lead by example, a word is false.

At the banquet, Lin Yanchao and Chen Jingbang talked and laughed freely.

But the officials didn't move their chopsticks much.

Who doesn't have an appetite at the end of the day?

No wonder when Li Zihua asked Lin Yanchao to stay, Lin Yanchao said that he was here, I'm afraid you will have a bad appetite.

I see!

Why did Lin Yanchao not fight or grab when he was in the assembly, it turned out that he had already known the news of his promotion to the prefect of Defu.

Knowing this, we still discussed a fart.

Lin Yanchao deliberately disgusted Li Zihua.

Li Zihua operated for a long time, not only lost the matter of dredging the Jialu River, but also lost the prefect of Guide Mansion who operated before, which was really a failure.

At the table, Chen Jingbang raised his glass and said to Lin Yanchao: "Lin Futai, I have been your colleague for many years, and I am really pleased to see you promoted to the prefect." Congratulations only on this wine! ”

Lin Yanchao also raised his glass and said: "Xiaguan He De, you can get the favor of the heavenly official!" Liver and brain smears are not enough to repay. ”

After drinking with Chen Jingbang, Li Zihua also raised his glass and said with a smile: "Lin Futai, in Beijing, can be called Hanlin, and can be called a capable minister when released, and the governor does not admire it very much." ”

Looking at Li Zihua's face, Lin Yanchao vomited all the things he wanted.

But Lin Yanchao nodded, picked up the wine glass and got up and said, "Thank you for your praise!" In the future, he will be an official, and I implore the system to teach more. ”

Li Zihua smiled and said, "Don't dare to be." ”

After the two adults toasted.

Shen Tongzhi, who was still having a big red face with Lin Yanchao, also raised his glass and said: "Lin Futai, he was appointed as the prefect at a young age, and his future is limitless. The lower official is here to pay tribute to the house and have a cup, and he will be on the clouds every day. ”

Lin Yanchao smiled and said, "Thank you Shen Sima Jiyan." ”

After a few glasses of wine, Lin Yanchao was already slightly smoky.

And other officials also stepped forward to toast one after another. The unpleasantness, the ridicule has long gone.

Lin Yanchao was promoted to the prefect, they must come up to toast, even if you are unhappy, you must suppress it.

Otherwise, people will see you and think that you don't look at the general situation.

"I was presumptuous before, and the adults of Futai don't count villains."

"Futai, Pengcheng thousands of miles, I can't wait for the dust, he sincerely asks for one or two in the future."

Lin Yanchao replied with a smile.

The spring breeze is proud, but that's it.

Unknowingly, after drinking more than a dozen glasses of wine, Lin Yanchao was already drunk.

At this moment, what kind of self-cultivation Qi family rules the country and leveled the world, and helps the people in the world, and strives to save the power of the Ming Dynasty is all false.

That's the great truth, it's just the great truth, it's real, and it's only the joy of ascending at this moment.

I have seen temples for five years, how high they are, and how far away the rivers and lakes are.

Demotion to return to morality and Ren Tongzhi, the taste of this, the ups and downs can only be known.

Now the bottom of Lin Yanchao's career is in the past, he is a four-grade official, a scarlet robe, a mansion and a hall, and a parent official who governs 300,000 people.

The scenery ahead is already in sight.

After being an official for five years, he has been in charge of the party! I am only twenty-five years old, and my career from the prefect is just the beginning.

After the appointment, Lin Yanchao returned to Guide Mansion.

When I came to Yifeng, the torrential rain poured down, and the next one did not stop.

But when he left, it was rain and sunny.

Because Fu Zhiyuan was promoted, the seal letter was still in the government office, so there was no need to check and deliver the seal letter.

Lin Yanchao drove directly in the car, and went to the Jialu River with Huang Yue along the way to inspect Heqing.

Then Lin Yanchao did not stay, and when he arrived in Fucheng, it was already day and night.

The next day, Lin Yanchao called Huang Yue to the carriage again, and the two took the Jialu River map to discuss how to dredge it in the carriage.

Drawing a little bit, ticking a little bit on the pen, the so-called joy of ascension, after a sleep, is in the past.

At this time, someone outside the carriage announced: "Lord Futai, in the front of the official pavilion, the officials and people of this government are waiting on the side of the road, congratulations to Lord Futai on his promotion!" ”

Lin Yanchao glanced at Huang Yue.

Huang Yue hurriedly said: "It's not the lower officials, it's Wu Tong who sentenced them to send someone back to the house to report the news." ”

Lin Yanchao waved his hand and said, "Forget it." ”

to the ground.

Lin Yanchao got out of the carriage, but saw that both sides of the road were full of people.

Officials from Guide Prefecture, as well as officials from Gu Zhi County who came from several other counties.

Lin Yanchao's staff Sun Chengzong, Qiu Mingshan and a group of protégés.

There are also local Song families, Shen family clans and squires.

There are more flat-headed people in straw sandals and cloth clothes, who can't see their heads from a distance, and they are all huddled by the roadside.

Lin Yanchao got out of the carriage, and the crowd was crowded, and the crowd came in waves.

The common people said: "Lin Qingtian is here!" ”

"Lin Qingtian has arrived!"

"Lord Futai has arrived!"

Seeing that so many people came to greet him, Lin Yanchao was in a flash, but he felt that his eyes were moist, for an official like this, what more could he ask for?

The officials and squires shouted loudly in front of them: "Congratulations to Sima Rong on his ascension to the prefect!" ”

"Congratulations to Dong Weng (Teacher) on his promotion to the prefect!"

"Congratulations to Lord Futai!"

Seeing this scene, not to mention Lin Yanchao, even Wu Tong's judgment, Ma Tong's judgment, and He Tong's judgment, who led people to greet him, couldn't help but feel that 'those who are officials should be like this'.

But seeing that Lin Yanchao still calmed down his emotions and walked to the officials and ordinary people in Daohe.

The crowd on the road parted left and right on the side of the road, and countless hands stretched out and beckoned to Lin Yanchao.

Chen Jichuan, Huang Yue, Zhanming and other entourages all followed Lin Yanchao into the people, and when they saw the scene of the people's support and love, they couldn't help but raise their sleeves and try to tears.

Lin Yanchao walked on the side, and bowed his hands to the people on the left and right: "Thank you colleagues!" ”

"Thank you, old folks!"

Halfway through, an old man walked out and said to Lin Yanchao, "Lin Qingtian." ”

Lin Yanchao recognized this person, a villager from a village by the Yellow River, surnamed Wei.

The year before last, it was this old man Wei who took his son, a villager from the village, to storm the porridge factory and was almost caught and killed by the officers and soldiers.

It was Lin Yanchao who came forward to protect the old man and his family.

Last year, Lin Yanchao went to the countryside to see him again, and recognized the old man at a glance.

At that time, he and his sons went down to the river with 'work for relief', and redeemed the fields that had been mortgaged to the landlords.

When Lin Yanchao saw him, he said, "Old man, have you eaten this year?" ”

Wei Laohan nodded and said: "I have eaten, I have passed the spring famine, not only the spring famine, but also the surplus grain, and the eldest son will marry a daughter-in-law this year." ”

Saying that, Wei Laohan pulled his eldest son, who was as strong as a calf, and said, "Our father and son can survive thanks to Lin Qingtian. Now that you have been promoted, we poor people have nothing to show up, only a few auspicious words! ”

"Lin Qingtian, Qingyun is straight up, Gonghou Wandai!"

"Lin Qingtian, Qingyun is straight up, Gonghou Wandai!"

"Lin Qingtian, Qingyun is straight up, Gonghou Wandai!"

Hundreds of people are saying the same.

The sound carried the wind on the edge of the Yellow River and spread far away.

Lin Yanchao smiled: "Thank you old man." Thank you to the fathers and fellow villagers of Guide. ”

"Lin Qingtian, please say a few words for our people!"

Lin Yanchao nodded and said, "Okay." ”

As far as the eye could see, the road was crowded with ordinary people, and they were all eager to hear it.

Lin Yanchao's speech was just a routine speech, unremarkable, and Ma Tongju and other officials were familiar with it, but then his speech suddenly changed.

"What is profit? What is righteousness? Is there a dichotomy between righteousness and profit?

This government does not think so, this government steals that the righteousness of the official lies in the interests of the people, and every old and young woman and child, regardless of the right or left, should be treated equally.

Therefore, it is the righteousness of the officials, that is, the interests of the people, which benefits others and themselves. The unity of righteousness and benefit is merit. ”

Speaking of this, Lin Yanchao looked at the officials present, and the people asked.

Is it difficult to unite righteousness and benefit? It is both difficult and easy, and there are different opinions. Is it difficult to serve the government and the people?

None of the officials and people present talked, and everyone listened quietly to Lin Yanchao's words.

Lin Yanchao looked left and right and said: "Since this official has been an official, those who want to be virtuous in the world seek the way of merit." When he resigned from Beijing, Lin once said that within three years, he would return to the rule of virtue and serve as an official for one term, benefiting one party. Now Lin has been an official for a year and a half, is it a big rule? No, the people are not yet able to eat and wear. ”

"Er Jinlin is ashamed to be the prefect, and it is still uncertain whether he will return to Germany within three years. However, the success does not have to be in me, it may as well be left to future generations. If you are dedicated to the people and do political work, you will not donate. ”

Hearing this, all the officials and people couldn't help but applaud.

"Therefore, it is difficult to be an official and a citizen?"

"It's not difficult. The difficulty is only that Lin Moukong has the heart of the people, but one person is not enough to succeed. Therefore, Lin implored the officials of the government and the people to help. Those who have attained the Tao will help a lot, and if they help a lot, the world will be smooth, and things will be done. ”

"Today, Lin is ashamed to be the prefect, trembling in his heart, thinking that he has no way to repay the grace of heaven, and he can only repay the people with one heart."

"Within three years, let the rule of virtue be returned! The people have food and enough clothing! The big river is not harmful, and the embankment is a hundred years! Everyone can live and work in peace and contentment! ”

"Today's words, deeds, Lin Mou, please be present, the elders and villagers supervise!"

After speaking, Lin Yanchao bowed deeply to the people, but the officials felt that their breathing was heavy and they could not speak.

"This eternal word should be revealed!"

Sun Chengzong couldn't help but take the lead in applauding, and Sun Chengzong's protégés and disciples were all excited by Lin Yanchao's words.

I don't know how effective these short words are, but they are like a fire that ignites everyone's heart.

Food, clothing and well-off are the world of great harmony that every people and every scholar looks forward to in their hearts.

Those who have attained the Tao will be more helpful, and the world will be smooth.

On the banks of the river embankment and the pavilion on the road, applause was thunderous.

Sun Chengzong, Qiu Mingshan, Huang Yue, Wu Tongju, Ma Tongju, He Tongju, Hou Zhipu, etc., regardless of the officials and the people, Lin Yanchao's entourage and protégé all used all their strength to applaud and flock to Lin Yanchao.

The cries of the people resounded outside the city of Guide.
