The Ming Dynasty's Spokesperson

The next day seemed to be a very ordinary day, and the spring scenery in early April was also very good.

Since the afternoon, people have been queuing up in the front yard of Shen Mansion.

With the ubiquitous criticism of the Ming Dynasty today, the fact that he dared to risk being scolded by officials and openly queued up in the Shen Mansion showed that there was a greater interest.

The disciple of the Shen Mansion stood on the platform and said to the people waiting in line: "My master has not seen any foreigners recently. Please go away."

Everyone sighed secretly. They expressed their attitude, but if Shen Shoufu didn't meet them, there was nothing they could do.

Just as they were about to disperse, someone suddenly shouted again: "Wait!"

Turning around, he saw an extremely majestic man in a long gown walking out of the inner door with a piece of pastry in his hand and chewing on it.

"Master, please wait for a moment, I can bring people into the house!" The big man said again.

This sentence successfully retains people, and everyone expects to be the lucky one.

Most people have already recognized that this big man must be Lin Jieyuan, a guest of Shen Mansion.

The disciple of the Shen Mansion sighed helplessly. Since Lin Daguan entered the Shen Mansion, he has broken countless rules.

But Mr. Shen didn't care about Lin Daguan's behavior, and he, the disciple, had nothing to say.

At this time, Lin Daguan's eyes were wandering back and forth, and he praised his wit in his heart.

Last night, when he was tossing and turning because he had no one available, he finally came up with a good idea, which was to squat at the gate of Shen Mansion!

Anyone who dares to come openly to see the Chief Assistant at this time must have a usable foundation, so he can choose what he needs from it.

It's just that Lin Daguan's eyes were not very friendly, as if he was selecting goods, which made everyone queuing at the gate feel uncomfortable.

After looking around, Lin Daguan couldn't tell much just by looking at the appearance. He didn't really understand physiognomy.

In the end, I had to point out one person at random, and then the disciple sent the corresponding name card to Mr. Lin Daguan - all the people in line just handed in their name card.

Lin Tailai opened his eyes and saw that the name above was "Wang Zhiyuan".

Damn it! Official Lin was also surprised. Is this fate? Even if you point at a random person, you can point to the second eldest brother in the King's Capital.

After waving his name card, Senior Official Lin called out: "Please come into the mansion with me, Young Master!"

Wang Zhiyuan was helpless and felt that "the tides are turning" and "people have to bow their heads under the eaves".

More than ten days ago, the Wang family turned away Lin Tailai, but today, they actually needed Lin Tailai to lead them into the Shen Mansion.

Wang Shao Situ originally had the urge to turn around and leave, but remembering Yang Tianguan's instructions last night, he could only grit his teeth and follow Lin Tailai in.

As soon as he entered the second door, he heard Lin Tailai nagging:

"Although your Wang family refused to let me in because of our previous lack of friendship, I, Lin Tailai, have always been magnanimous and repaid evil with kindness."

Wang Shao Situ maintained his last dignity and only listened with his ears without any forced justification.

As they walked, the road became crooked. Lin Daguan left the main road and went straight to the side courtyard.

Wang Zhiyuan said in surprise: "Where are you going?"

"Of course you are going to my place to talk!" Lin Tailai said matter-of-factly.

Wang Zhiyuan said a little dissatisfied: "I am here to visit the chief minister. Why are you taking me to your residence?"

Official Lin snorted coldly and said, "I only agreed to take you into the house, but I didn't agree to take you to see Prime Minister Shen. You may have made a mistake."

Wang Shao Situ: "."

What evil have you done! He came shamelessly to ask to see the chief minister, but was disrupted by Lin Tailai like this!

Could it be that Lin Tailai was deliberately retaliating for his previous indifference?

Wang Shao Situ felt that there was no need to continue, so he turned around and wanted to leave along the original road.

But there were several big men behind them, blocking the narrow corridor so tightly that it was impossible to pass.

Then Wang Shao Situ felt that there seemed to be a thousand pounds of force holding down his shoulders, making him unable to move.

Official Lin asked with a smile: "I haven't finished speaking yet, why is Young Situ leaving in a hurry?"

Seeing this scene, the servants of the Shen Mansion took a detour one after another, not wanting to meddle in other people's business.

And Wang Zhiyuan never dreamed that a dignified left minister of household affairs would encounter strong thieves blocking roads and cutting paths in the home of the first assistant.

Lin Tailai didn't seem to see Wang Shao Situ's face, and asked again: "Your Excellency, isn't it because you are here to be the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue?"

Denying this was meaningless, Wang Zhiyuan replied: "So what?"

Senior official Lin patted his chest and said, "Why bother alerting the chief minister for such a trivial matter? I can handle it for you!"

Wang Shao Situ sneered and said, "Are you trying to make fun of me? Even if it were the chief assistant in person, he wouldn't dare to agree so firmly."

Lin Tailai asked back: "Last time I said in front of the Wang family that your Wang family was going to lose a minister. You might not believe it at the time, but what happened next?"

Wang Zhiyuan: "."

He had to admit that if he had accepted Lin Tailai last time, and then been instructed to write the memorandum about the Longevity Palace to the emperor, he would have become the Minister of the Ministry of Finance by now!

If there was no precedent, even Wang Zhiyuan would not believe Lin Tai today.

But just because there was a precedent, Wang Zhiyuan couldn't help but think, what if it was true this time?

"What do you think?" Lin Tailai asked again. This was the last question today.

Wang Zhiyuan put away his contempt and said: "It's not very comfortable to talk here. Please invite Lin Jieyuan to the humble residence to have a detailed discussion!"

At the same time in the palace, several eunuchs Bingbi were sitting and drinking tea in the clerk's room of the Supervisor of Ceremonies. They saw a eunuch in charge of the Qianqing Palace come in, so the several father-in-laws stood up.

Generally, when eunuchs from the Palace of Qianqing came to the ceremonial department, they were mostly here to convey the emperor's will.

The eunuch who delivered the order was in the north, facing south, and asked the eunuchs who were responsible for the ceremony:

"The emperor ordered the Chief of Ceremonies to consult all the ministers. The noble concubine Zheng has the merits of educating people, so she can be named the imperial concubine. Zheng's father can be named the governor and Tongzhi. Is that okay?"

After the eunuch who delivered the order left, several of the ceremonial officials looked at each other with heads as big as buckets.

Anyone who can enter the Bureau of Ceremonies is a smart person. Everyone can feel that after a few days of rest, the emperor wants to live up to his standards again!

It seems that the dispute over the Shougong Palace has been settled, and after the emperor has settled his worries, he can allocate his energy to other aspects.

The emperor's idea was that Concubine Zheng gave birth to the emperor's third son in the first month of the year and should be given a title.

But from the perspective of the prince, the eldest son of the emperor has the most noble status and should be the current candidate for the prince. However, the biological mother of the eldest son of the emperor is just an ordinary concubine.

Concubine Zheng has already gone too far. Just because she gave birth to the third son of the emperor, she wants to further become the imperial concubine. Wouldn't the etiquette be messed up?

Concubine Zheng’s father, Zheng Chengxian, is now a second-rank Jinyiwei commanding officer with a salary, which is already beyond the conventional standards. Do you want to further increase it to a first-rank commander-in-chief?

If you do this forcefully, the ministers who pay attention to etiquette will definitely explode!

Keep asking for monthly votes! Continue to speed up tomorrow!
