After arriving at Dong'anmen near the imperial city, Lin Yanchao got out of the carriage. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The last time the palace test was to go to the Daming Gate, but the officials generally went to the right gate of Chang'an next to the Daming Gate to see His Majesty.

Lin Yanchao, who was dressed in the cyan six-rank court counselor robe, passed through the right gate of Chang'an with more than a dozen court counselors, and then the guard on duty checked the tooth tag on his waist.

After checking the tooth card, the guards wrote it in the register according to the official name on Lin Yanchao's tooth card, which is called the door register.

There are more than 20,000 officials in the Ming Dynasty, including more than 1,300 Beijing officials, and each Beijing official must register here when he passes through Dong'anmen, and if he wants to ask for leave, he must be notified in advance.

At this time, it was already hot summer, the sky was a little bright, and it was still dark at the moment in winter.

The noon gate was still closed, and the officials who came early did not wait in line in front of the noon gate, but went to the room to rest.

That's right, it's two rows of east-west facing rooms outside the noon gate.

Each yamen has its own courtroom, and the courtroom of Hanlin Courtyard is in the sixth room on the east side of the noon gate, Lin Yanchao counted it and pushed open the door of the courtroom and walked in.

There were already a few colleagues from the Hanlin Academy in the courtroom, and everyone saw Lin Yanchao bowing to each other.

Later, the number of people in the court room increased one after another, such as several attendants and lecturers, as well as several Hanlin who often served in the cabinet.

After everyone came, they just chatted a few words, and then stood aside and didn't speak, as for the Hanlin Courtyard, there were a few Taishi chairs in the middle of the room, but no one went to sit, everyone just stood like this.

Lin Yanchao was also standing aside.

Even Chen Siyu, who came later, was the same.

Chen Siyu, who was wearing a scarlet robe, stood among the crowds, mixed in the middle of the Hanlin dressed in green robes, which was particularly eye-catching.

At the beginning, Lin Yanchao thought that the officials refused to sit because Chen Siyu did not want to sit, but after Chen Siyu entered, he didn't have the slightest intention of sitting down, and he was there with everyone.

With Chen Siyu present, everyone in the room quieted down.

A moment later. The door opened, and two officials in python robes walked in, and Zhong Hanlin saw them and saluted: "I've seen Zhongtang!" ”

It turned out that it was Shen Shixing and Zhang Siwei who entered the courtroom, and they walked to the Taishi chair in the courtroom and sat down casually. It turned out that this Taishi chair was reserved for them. I thought that Chen Siyu didn't dare to sit down.

The dignified cabinet scholars actually squeezed a room with the Hanlin officials?

Lin Yanchao immediately suddenly realized, this is not strange, because the cabinet was originally the same as the Hanlin Academy, and it was originally a yamen.

Just look at the Ming official system, we don't have a cabinet in the Ming Dynasty at all.

The Cabinet is only a subordinate organ of the Hanlin Yuan, but any official document of the Cabinet must be signed with the three words of the Hanlin Yuan at the end of the seal and seal.

Shen Shixing's gaze swept over the hall. said to Chen Siyu on the side: "Bachelor Chen is seated together!" ”

Chen Siyu immediately said: "The middle hall is here, where is there a place for the lower officials to sit." ”

Zhang Siwei also persuaded him, but Chen Siyu just refused to sit.

Zhang Siwei and Shen Shixing sat on the Taishi chair and chatted a few words, but they didn't say anything. Shen Shixing, Zhang Siwei sat on a Taishi chair on the left and a right, and the Taishi chair between the two was empty.

Everyone knows who sits on this Taishi chair, even if that person doesn't come. The people did not dare to sit on it.

Lin Yanchao remembered that the last time he entered Zhang's Mansion to see Zhang Juzheng, the emperor would call him again next time. Zhang Juzheng finally agreed to make a comeback.

After a while, the curtain was lifted, and everyone in the room said together: "I've seen the middle hall." ”

Even Shen Shixing, Zhang Siwei also stood up, but saw Zhang Juzheng appear in front of the door.

When Lin Yanchao saw Zhang Juzheng that day, the other party was just wearing a swallow's suit, and he saw Zhang Juzheng again today. But seeing that he was wearing a python robe, this majesty was more than ten times higher than that of Shen Shixing and Zhang Siwei, and as for the belly-length hair on his chest, he was clamped with a beard clip, and he was not messy at all.

Lin Yanchao is in the Hanlin Academy. I heard a lot of Zhang Juzheng's gossip.

said that after Zhang Jiangling became the country, he was angry with all the dukes, and when he saw the hundred officials, the hundred officials all stood and talked to him, and no one dared to sit down. Often can't say a few words, Zhang Juzheng will serve tea to the guests.

The only difference is Lu Guangzu, the Qing of Dali Temple. Lu Guangzu is the same year as Zhang Juzheng, and he has never been unscrupulous, when he saw Zhang Juzheng that day, he said, there is business to discuss in detail today, you need to give me a seat to sit down, in order to solve my stupidity. If we don't give a seat, we will retire and never dare to look at the light again.

It is said that at that time, Zhang Juzheng was shocked by Lu Guangzu's shamelessness, so he showed him a seat, and from then on, hundreds of officials followed this example, and when they saw Zhang Juzheng doing something, they didn't have to stand all the time.

It can be seen that Lu Guangzu is bold, and it can also be seen how much Zhang Juzheng has deterred hundreds of officials after becoming the first assistant.

Now that Zhang Juzheng was seated, Zhong Hanlin not only didn't dare to speak and cough, but didn't even make a small movement, just quietly bowed his hands.

At this moment, the air in the room seemed to be still, and it was not until the second assistant Zhang Siwei spoke that the silence was broken.

"Motosuke, it seems that there are a few new faces this time!"

Zhang Juzheng didn't say anything, but bowed slightly, indicating that he heard it.

However, others can't pretend that they didn't hear it, Chen Siyu said with a smile: "The second assistant must refer to Lin Xiuxiu, Xiao Xiuxiu and Zhang Xiuxiu!" ”

At that moment, Lin Yanchao, Xiao Liangyou, and Zhang Maoxiu stepped forward to salute together.

Zhang Siwei's gaze swept over the three people: "Yuanfu, you see that they are all young talents of my Ming Dynasty, and the future is promising!" ”

Ordinary people must have been overjoyed when they heard Zhang Siwei's words in Lin Yanchao's position, but Lin Yanchao clearly knew that Zhang Siwei's words were not aimed at himself, but exaggerated Mao Xiu, which gave Zhang Juzheng a face

Gilding.

How did Zhang Juzheng answer?

But seeing Zhang Juzheng said slowly: "Whether it is a talent or not, you will only know if you use it." ”

As for Lin Yanchao, his heart moved when he heard it, what did Zhang Juzheng's words seem to imply?

Zhang Siwei said: "What Yuan Fu said is extremely true. Even if it is jade, it will not be a tool if it is not carved. ”

Shen Shixing said: "That Yuanfu, Ziwei also needs to give them a chance to carve!" ”

Zhang Siwei said with a smile when he heard this: "It is said that Ru Mo loves to protect the short, so soon he asked Yuanfu for the three protégés." ”

Shen Shixing pinched his beard and said: "That's also for Yuanfu, and the appreciation of the second assistant is." ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Siwei nodded and asked Chen Siyu, "Has the Hanlin on the rotating cabinet been decided?" ”

Chen Siyu replied: "Hanlin is on duty in the East Room, with five people per shift, two or two, and one replacement in March, which is scheduled until mid-August. I'm afraid that the middle hall will think they are not skilled. ”

Shen Shixing said: "It's okay, it can't be a few old faces." What does Motosuke think? ”

Zhang Juzheng said: "You don't need to ask me about this. ”

So the words were decided, Lin Yanchao couldn't help but be surprised when he heard it, he thought that it would take at least a year to do it in the rotating cabinet, but he didn't expect that there would be a chance so soon. (To be continued.) )
