The Ming Dynasty's Spokesperson

Lin Tailai really didn't go out to fool around that night. Instead, he secretly went to Shen Shoufu's house and carefully inquired about the specific situation of Wenhua Palace today.

After all, the first assistant has the best position, the most careful observation of the scene, and the most professional explanation.

Shen Shixing said worriedly: "What happened today will cause big trouble for the country.

The dispute over the country's foundation is not a trivial matter that can be compromised. If the emperor persists in his persistence, an accident like the Jiajing Dynasty Ritual Conference may occur. "

Shen Shixing's judgment is still good, and he has already foreseen that the dispute over the country may be as protracted as the original ceremony.

Unexpectedly, he is sitting in the position of chief assistant now, and he will inevitably be squeezed from both sides in the future. This will really test his ability to fool around.

If you really can't get over it, in order to preserve your own reputation, you have no choice but to resign and leave, leaving others with the headache.

After talking about the big aspects, Shen Shixing added: "Just for you, the situation today is generally good, but it is not without hidden worries."

Although Lin Tailai guessed it, he couldn't help but give the chief assistant some room to play, so he hid his clumsiness and pretended to ask:

"The situation is great, so what worries are there?"

Shen Shixing replied: "Although the emperor severely punished Fang Wanshan and Xin Zixiu, he did not directly pardon you, so you should be careful."

Lin Daguan said casually: "I would like to be taught!"

Then he urged: "Regarding Wang Situ's matter, please ask Prime Minister Shen to issue an edict for wholesale as soon as possible to avoid long nights and dreams."

Shen Shixing laughed and said, "How can you be more anxious than the Wang family?"

Lin Daguan sighed: "It's not easy to recruit party members, so we have to hurry up."

Shen Shixing: "."

How old is your official position, Lin Tailai, that you dare to directly call the Minister of the Ministry of Finance a party member?

Moreover, Shen Shoufu almost asked a political ethics question: I wonder if the party members of the chief minister's party members are considered the party members of the chief minister?

But after thinking about it, Shen Shixing, who is very good at doing things, still didn't ask, leaving some room for each other.

After all, Shen Shoufu felt that neither of his sons could support the family, and he might have to rely on Lin Tai to protect him in the future.

The next day, the results of the Wanli 14th year martial arts examination were released, and the list was hung outside the gate of the Ministry of War.

Previously, because the first place was too controversial, the results were not announced for a long time, but yesterday the situation became clear, and the Ministry of War naturally had no reason to delay.

In previous years, no one paid much attention to the martial arts test results except the candidates themselves, but this year there were actually many more people watching the results.

This subject has admitted hundreds of martial arts scholars, but most people who look at the rankings are only interested in the top two.

The first place is Lin Tailai from Wu County, Suzhou Prefecture, South Zhili Province, and the second place is Zheng Guotai, Daxing County, Shuntian Prefecture, North Zhili Province.

Regarding this result, people who looked at the list started talking directly. Some people talked loudly and said:

"I knew that the first place must be Lin Tailai. After all, he beats people on the streets every day. After beating people in West City, he beat people in East City. After beating East City, he went back to West City to beat people.

He also fought against dozens of factory guards and officers, and defeated the Metropolitan Procuratorate in two major scenes, as well as the deeds of one man knocking down a galloping horse. The name of martial arts resounded throughout the capital, and the popularity remained high.

If he is not allowed to be the first, there will be too many doubts, and I am afraid that the court will not be able to convince the public. "

Another person nodded in agreement and said, "I heard that Zheng Guotai performed extremely well in the examination room. In fact, he is on par with Lin Tailai. He is also a rare hero.

But the disadvantage is that the reputation is not good enough and the popularity is not enough. Therefore, if you want to achieve results now, you only have to be strong enough, and you also need to be able to hype up and become famous. "

The man from before said again: "If it were normal, the martial arts examination would be over, and the first place in the examination would be the best in the world.

But this year it is said that the imperial court will increase the imperial examination to select an official martial arts champion. I don't know what the regulations are. "

Another person chimed in: “I’ve heard the news, and if nothing else happens, it’s probably just a formality.

On the day of the palace examination, the emperor is asked to read through the ink scroll of the literary field. The first point in the martial arts examination will be the number one scholar. In this case, Lin Tailai, who ranked first in the martial arts test, would be the number one pick by default. "

Another day later, the edict appointing Wang Zhiyuan as the Minister of Household Affairs came down, and this time the dispute between the great Situ and the great Situ was settled.

Although Shen Shoufu at this time was not as strong as his predecessors, he was still much stronger than the group of people who brought him down. He had good control over the center, which was why the edict came out so quickly.

When Official Lin returned to the Wang family after wandering outside, the Wang family's disciples reported respectfully:

"Several gentlemen of my family are hosting a banquet today to celebrate the high official's victory in the martial arts test."

Lin Tailai asked back: "Should you celebrate your master's promotion to Grand Situ, or should you celebrate me, who topped the list in the martial arts test?"

Menzi said with a "hehe" smile: "Celebrating the double happiness together, it's all our own business anyway."

Because there is Lin Tailai, a male guest who has only been married verbally and has not yet married, there are no female relatives present today.

Nineteen-year-old Lin Tailai sat down. After drinking for three rounds, he suddenly said to the thirty-five or six-year-old censor Wang Xiangmeng: "What mission does my nephew have in the Metropolitan Procuratorate?"

Wang Xiangmeng: "."

Nephew? Nephew? Nephew?

Wang Situ answered on his behalf: "He has no foreign affairs at the moment. Brother Lin, do you want to give him some advice?"

Lin Tailai said: "I think we can let my nephew be the patrol censor of Xicheng."

Everyone knows that the management system of the capital is very complicated. There are five censors patrolling the city in the southeast, northwest, and middle, all sent by the Metropolitan Procuratorate. They are regarded as one of the foreign missions to supervise the censors.

The City Patrol Censor is responsible for the administration of justice on the ground in the capital. Basically, all cases handled by county offices in other places are handled by the City Patrol Censor in the capital.

Wang Xiangmeng was very dissatisfied and said: "What's so good about this assignment? It's thankless and you do a lot of mistakes."

Compared with the censors who patrol the city and the censors who patrol the salt, the censors patrolling the city are really not that interesting.

But after Wang Situ heard what Lin Tailai said, he did not question whether this position was good or not. He just said to Lin Tai:

"Even if you want nephew Xiang Meng to be the censor of Xicheng, it can't be arranged. I'm afraid it will take a lot of trouble."

Lin Daguanren said very confidently: "No one wants to be the censor of Xicheng now. If my nephew wants to sit in this position, others will be eager to give up. It is not difficult."

Seeing how easily Lin Tai spoke, Wang Situ was surprised at first. After thinking for a while, he suddenly understood and nodded in agreement: "That's true."

Sometimes, thinking about problems requires a little reverse thinking.

Don't think that if Lin Daguan beats people every day, there will be no consequences. After all, this is the capital, not Suzhou.

I'm afraid that in the case of Xicheng Yushi, there is an unknown number of backlogged records of Lin Tailai's beatings.

The key point is that it is difficult to close these case files. If the defendant cannot even be caught, how can we even talk about closing the case?

If a large number of case files cannot be closed, then the Xicheng Yushi's assessment results will definitely be very ugly.

Therefore, if any censor wants to be the censor of Xicheng, there will be no one to compete for him and he will give up his position.

Wang Xiangmeng was suddenly shocked and turned to Lin Tailai: "Do you want to use my future in exchange for your criminal record to be eliminated?"

He has completely figured out Lin Tailai's intention!

I want to be the censor of Xicheng, and then pretend to be public for personal gain, cover up and pervert the law, and eliminate all the cases about Lin Tailai.

But this kind of operation definitely cannot be hidden from others, with so many eyes in the capital watching. So in the end, he, the censor of Xicheng, would be regarded as a price, and he would sacrifice himself to apologize and resign.

To put it simply, it was to sacrifice a seventh-grade censor to calm the grievances of others in exchange for Lin Tailai's complete peace.

Wang Situ thought about it again and said, "It's not impossible."

Wang Xiangmeng was a little confused. Is this his biological uncle?

A few days ago, Uncle Situ encouraged himself to be cautious in his words and deeds in the position of censor and to maintain his qualifications steadily.

Wang Xiangmeng said sadly and angrily: "The life of the seventh grade is also a life, so it is inappropriate to sacrifice it arbitrarily, right?

Besides, there are many beatings that occurred in Dongcheng. It would not be complete just to eliminate the criminal records in Xicheng. "

Lin Tailai laughed and said, "It's not too late. My nephew had better think it over before dawn tomorrow."

Then he got up and left the table, and went back to his room to rest.

Wang Xiangmeng had a sad face and said to Wang Situ: "Uncle! I have been in the position of censor for nearly three years.

If you endure it a little longer, you can become a senior censor. If you give up right now, wouldn't all your previous efforts be wasted? "

Although the one hundred or so supervisory censors are all seventh grade and appear to be exactly the same, there are actually hierarchical distinctions internally.

These hundreds of supervisory censors are divided into thirteen channels, which can be compared to the divisions in the six ministries.

Each clan will have a senior censor as the master, who is called the censor in charge, and is also qualified to go to the palace.

As for the biggest difference between ordinary censors and senior censors, they are the grades at the time of transfer.

Generally, when a seventh-grade censor is transferred to a certain place, the sixth-grade is considered a normal transfer, and the fifth-grade is considered a promotion.

Although the senior censors, especially the chief censors, are also in the seventh rank, if they are transferred to the local area, the fifth rank is regarded as a normal transfer, and the fourth rank is considered a promotion.

There are even more powerful science and technology officials with nine years of experience who were transferred to the local area and directly promoted from the third grade!

This is the reason why Kedao officials are noble, and this is why many people are still in the position of seventh-grade censor, but no one dares to look down upon them.

Now Wang Xiangmeng has endured it for three years, and he wants to endure it for another three years.

It's best to go three years and three years, or nine years directly! In this way, at least a fourth-rank deputy envoy or prefect of a higher-level government can be placed outside.

Lin Chui, Wang Zhiyou, the number one member of the Wang family, said, "Brother Lin shouldn't be so deceptive, right?"

Then he told the servant: "Go and invite the fifteenth sister!"

Although Wang Zhiyou is a Lin Chui, he feels that he does not understand Lin Tailai as well as the fifteenth sister.

Not long after, Wang Fifteen Pingping came from the inner courtyard. After learning the situation, she laughed at Wang Xiangmeng and said, "I don't even want such a stupid nephew!"

Wang Xiangmeng said unconvinced: "I just feel sorry for myself, how could I be stupid?"

Wang Shiwu laughed and said, "It's obvious that Mr. Lin wants to give you a free reward, but you don't dare to accept it, and you still care about your three years and three years."

"What credit?" Wang Xiangmeng was very confused.

Wang Shiwu explained: "You have become the censor of Xicheng. If you can catch Mr. Lin to the Xicheng Procuratorate for questioning and clear a pile of backlogged cases, is it a credit?

Now that the Metropolitan Procuratorate has lost all face, if you can help the Metropolitan Procuratorate regain its reputation, is it a credit? "
