The Ming Dynasty's Spokesperson

Emperor Wanli always felt that Zhang Jing was unreliable, so he referred to Shen Shixing's opinion.

First, an order was issued to order Lin Tailai to think about his mistakes behind closed doors to see the consequences, and nothing else was done for the time being.

This made Zhang Jing a little dissatisfied. The emperor actually trusted Shen Shixing instead of him, the admiral of Dongchang.

In this way, Lin Tailai could no longer be a government official and could only stay in the Lin Mansion without going anywhere.

Originally, Bachelor Chen, the head of the Hanlin Academy, was still thinking about organizing the Hanlins to protest to the emperor.

On the premise that there is no serious crime related to political issues (killing a captive chief is not a serious crime of a political nature), it is not advisable to use the Jin Yiwei to arrest serving Hanlin.

But seeing that Lin Tailai was locked up at home by the imperial edict and could not go anywhere or come to the Hanlin Academy to guide his work, Bachelor Chen suddenly felt that this was good.

This attitude clearly shows the emperor's mood. If he wasn't very unhappy, how could Emperor Wanli, who was accustomed to hiding in the palace, summon his ministers?

The next day, Lin Tailai, who was finally able to go out, entered the palace to see the emperor.

Not to mention that Lai Sanwu is still a leader-level rebel, so the credit is a great achievement and cannot be equated to just decapitating one person.

Zhao Zhigao looked at the list curiously and saw that the first one was "Yu Shenxing".

Zhang Changgong suddenly realized that he had made a mistake and was in a dilemma!

After Emperor Wanli read the secret report of his chief assistant, he felt a little pity, and at the same time felt ashamed and angry, so he called Zhang Jing of Dongchang to question.

Therefore, Shen Shixing did not disclose the information sent directly to the cabinet, but attached his own opinions and secretly reported it to the emperor.

Zhang Jing did not laugh, but retorted without hesitation: "Go and ask outside, from the East City to the West City, from the Bell and Drum Tower to Qipan Street, is there anyone who thinks you are an honest person?"

When Shen Shixing, the chief minister of the cabinet, saw this information, he was shocked!

Because the matter of Lin Tailai killing Lai Sanwu has to be recharacterized!

Lin Tailai turned around and saw that Zhang Jing, the admiral of Dongchang, was present.

How do you say you start planning as soon as you start planning? The position of Zuo Shilang in the Ministry of Civil Affairs is not yet popular!

"Then what's the meaning of this list?" Zhao Zhigao said unclearly.

Emperor Wanli is very angry. The emperor's face is so worthless. He is treated so casually by you as a tool to fight against dissidents.

They are all bastards inside and out!

Followers left and right: ""

"Isn't this Lin Jiuyuan, the great hero who traveled outside the Great Wall?"

This question doesn't even need to be answered by Zhang Jing. Almost everyone in the capital can give the correct answer. This is an answer that can be seen with the naked eye!

Lin Tailai faced the emperor and said: "So, I am an honest man.

Isn't the person most famous for killing heroes in history the great ancestor of this dynasty, Emperor Gao? Later, there was the classic example of Yu Qian

If this conversation spreads out, Zhang Jing, the man who provoked the topic of killing the hero, will not be able to wash it off by jumping into the Yellow River!

Zhang Cheng, the chief seal officer of the Supervisor of Ceremonies, spoke on behalf of the emperor: "Your Majesty doesn't know exactly what happened when Lin Tailai was sent to kill the captive chief. Please tell me."

From now on, I will find a way to abolish or suppress them one by one. "

Could it be that at the age of sixty-six, my normal development path has come to an end, so I have to start practicing metaphysics?

Lin Tailai could not directly tell Zhao Zhigao what kind of turmoil the court experienced in the original history from the seventeenth year of Wanli to the twenty-first year of Wanli.

In his subconscious mind, competition for cabinet membership seemed far away from him.

Even if the emperor doesn't say anything openly. But as long as there is a thorn in the heart, it will happen sooner or later.

Zhang Jing was very sensitive to Lin Tailai, and was aroused by success. He said harshly:

"Don't think that everything will be fine if you rely on your heroes! There are countless examples of heroes being killed!"

Several ministers in the palace almost collectively disobeyed the king. How dare you, Lin Tailai, to say that you are an honest person?

They never expected that Lin Tailai would defend himself in a funny way.

After all, this is the palace. Even if he is the admiral of Dongchang, he cannot show off in the palace with dozens or hundreds of followers.

There is no need to protest, Emperor Shengming.

In other words, most of them were ranked in the same year as Zhao Zhigao, and they were all famous poets with a background as poets.

The previous identity of Lai Sanwu was a Beibei chief who was conferred by the Ming Dynasty as the commander of Tongzhi.

Ji Zhen followed the clues and found out that Lai Sanwu, who was killed by Lin Tailai, had cooperated with Tuman Khan on the left wing of the Northern Lu and participated in the invasion of Ji Liao direction last year!

The most anxious person in the officialdom of the capital was Zhao Zhigao, the left minister of the Ministry of Personnel, who seemed to be in trouble if he cared a little.

Under the candlelight, Lin Tailai looked like a sophisticated robot. He said coldly: "Now we have to start making plans to promote you to the cabinet. You must be mentally prepared for this."

Moreover, these four pavilion elders, except for Xu Guo, are generally "younger" in age.

At the same time, Shen Shoufu also suggested that there were many strange things about this matter, and the emperor could summon Lin Tailai to inquire in person to avoid misunderstandings again.

Zhao Zhigao asked with a pun: "What are you doing?"

Zhang Jing: ""

With such an obvious fact, he didn't believe that Lin Tailai could reverse the case!

Lin Tailai immediately explained: "This is all a private slander by the factory owner. I am an honest person and I don't know the exquisite technique of bait fishing."

Lin Tailai handed the thorns with the thorns removed to Zhao Zhigao, "Try it and see if it feels more comfortable to hold the thorns without the thorns."

Lin Tailai said harshly: "I just said it, didn't you understand?

Kill everyone on the list, or suppress it! Then wouldn't you, Zhao Zhigao, be the unique candidate to join the cabinet?

At present, Yu Shenxing and Yu Shilang are the biggest competitors, so I am listed first. "

At this time, Emperor Wanli forgot that it was he who first saw the popularity of Lin Tailai's killing of the captive leader, and then wanted to intervene and add fuel to the flames.

Originally, I didn't know the details of today's meeting, but your words revealed it to me, so I am mentally prepared in advance.

Just when Lin Tailai was letting his thoughts fly, a sharp voice suddenly came into his ears.

This frequency of substitutions was quite explosive throughout the Ming Dynasty. Anyone who studies the history of party struggles in the Ming Dynasty cannot ignore these few years.

For the sake of the emperor, Zhang Changgong snorted and ignored Lin Tailai.

Lin Tailai sighed and said, "My official position is low and I cannot support you in the normal way.

Zhang Jing showed his ability to turn the rain over on the spot and said: "If Lin Tailai knew he was innocent, why did he plead guilty?

Later, Emperor Wanli sent another order, ordering Shen Shixing, Lin Tailai, and Zhang Jing to confront each other at the Wenhua Hall tomorrow, and also ordered Zhang Cheng, the Chief of Ceremonies, and other academicians to attend.

And the biggest problem is that Zhao Zhigao has no idea what Lin Tailai is thinking, which makes him feel very unsure.

On a dark and stormy night, Zhao Zhigao took the risk and secretly entered the Lin Mansion through the back door in disguise.

Coming here from Lin Tai, I always hear a lot of new words. Zhao Zhigao asked in confusion: "What is the same ecological niche?"

Lin Jiuyuan, what are you doing? Your family doesn’t have a throne to inherit!

Even if he had the throne, it would not be his turn to be named Zhao!

Lin Tailai put down the vitex tree, "You asked me what I was doing, but actually it was all for you!"

"Idiot!" Lin Tailai responded disdainfully, simply and rudely.

Zhao Zhigao: ""

Zhang Jing pretended not to care, "He curses when we meet him. Is the dignified number one scholar so rude?"

The factory guard handled the matter from beginning to end, and it ended up like this!

If the news spreads, wouldn't he, the emperor, become the laughing stock of his subjects?

If this is not an honest man, what is? Only honest people will give up intrigues and resort to stupid methods like taking action to solve problems. "

Zhao Zhigao was stunned, Lin Jiuyuan, do you think you are an honest person?

However, Zhao Zhigao still didn't understand: "Now that there are four bachelors in the cabinet, how can others have any chance of joining the cabinet?"

In addition to the literal meaning, there is also a subtext: How should this matter be resolved to maintain the emperor's dignity?

As for whether you can understand it or not, it all depends on your cultivation level.

The attendants on the left and right observed the words and expressions and advised one after another: "The emperor is coming soon, the factory master must not lose his etiquette!"

After all, without Lin Tailai, others could only live like this; but without Lin Tailai, he would not be able to survive.

When he entered the study, he found Lin Tailai sitting under a candle as thick as his arm, slowly cutting wattle branches with a knife.

But now his identity is, while enjoying the dividends of the horse market, he secretly commits Kou Bian's rebellion!

Every three-year-old child knows that killing a rebellious person is not only blameless, but actually meritorious.

Shen Shoufu suggested to the emperor that before the information was made public, the emperor could take the initiative to "rectify the chaos" and then make the reverse information public. This would minimize the impact of the emperor's misjudgment. This was the best way he could think of. .

While waiting at the steps outside the Wenhua Hall, Lin Tailai suddenly remembered that since he entered the court, he had never participated in a serious morning court, and he didn't know if he would have the opportunity in the future.

Zhao Zhigao, who had only been serving as the Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Civil Affairs for only five months, was stunned and felt that it was very unexpected.

Then he took out another list and said to Zhao Zhigao: "The names on this are all your current competitors in this ecological niche.

Lin Tailai was immediately shocked and said, "Mr. Factory, please tell me, you are definitely not talking about my Ming Dynasty!"

Your unnecessary words have greatly benefited the enemy. What else is he but a fool? "

So it was Lin Tailai who deceived the emperor. This is the crime of deceiving the emperor! "

You know, Zhao Zhigao is already sixty-six years old

Lin Tailai made a bowl of chicken soup and said: "Opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared, so we must be prepared first so that if the opportunity arises, we will not miss it."

But as an emperor with unlimited power in theory, of course he also has the power not to admit his mistakes.

But honest people also have stupid methods, so I had to use this stupid method that was extremely labor-intensive. "

Lin Tailai asked: "From last year to now, or in the past three years, whose family in the capital has had the most fights? Who has beaten people the most?"

Behind are Zhao Yongxian, Luo Wanhua, Huang Fengxiang, Zhu Geng, Chen Yubi, Zhang Wei, and Deng Yitan

After reading the list, Zhao Zhigao discovered that except for Zhao Yongxian and Deng Yixuan, who were Jinshi in the fifth year of Longqing, the rest were Jinshi in the second year of Longqing.

A few days passed, and suddenly a secret report was sent from Ji Town, one of the nine sides.

Zhao Zhigao: ""

But the current situation has also put Lin Tailai into crisis on another level.

After all, the emperor was also deceived and gave wrong feedback, which was tantamount to embarrassing the emperor.

It is precisely because the mind is not as good as that of others, so they often resort to such reckless methods as taking action.

He couldn't fight or bicker, which made Zhang Jing even more angry!

Emperor Wanli sat on the throne with a straight face. The emperor was very angry and the consequences were serious.

Only then did Shen Shoufu suddenly realize that it was no wonder that Lin Tailai seemed confident before.

When there were three cabinet bachelors, most of them were there. Even if one of the four resigned, they did not necessarily have to replace them.

Mr. Factory, can you objectively assess the situation between us and the enemy? Don't you look at who's on the other side?

How can we fight with Lin Tailai with these eight people on our side?

Lin Tailai was excited. He rolled up his sleeves and shouted, "Come on, come on!"

Tuman Khan, the Great Khan of the left wing of the Beibei, recently claimed that he would avenge Lai Sanwu, the leader of the Kalashen tribe who was killed.

In this short period of four years, due to the catastrophe of the dispute over the country's foundation and the fierce party struggle, all four existing ministers resigned, the Minister of Personnel was replaced four times, and the Minister of Rites was replaced three times. .

The ways for others to join the cabinet: improve their performance, build their reputation, gain seniority, try their luck, and take advantage of others

Your Lin Tailai's method of joining the cabinet: Make a list, kill everyone on the list, and then only your own people will join the cabinet?

Didn't you praise Yu Shenxing in public yesterday and said that Yu Shenxing, the Minister of Rites, must be?

Damn it! Mr. Zhang directly broke through the defense, and habitually shouted to the left and right: "Go up and fight!"

Lin Tailai was not sure how the catastrophe in this time and space would develop, so he could only tell Zhao Zhigao to wait for the opportunity.

Lin Tailai said seriously: "This is not a curse, but a fact.

The age of this cabinet team is so strong that they can work for the Ming Dynasty for another ten years, which makes the ministers in the reserve echelon despair.

"You look at the list first." Lin Tailai said.

The first assistant Shen Shixing was fifty-five years old, the third assistant Wang Xijue was fifty-six years old, and the fourth assistant Wang Jiaping was fifty-three years old.

Zhang Jing, with great resentment against Lin Tailai, couldn't wait to speak first: "The nature of this matter is obvious, it is Lin Tailai setting bait for fishing!

Then Lin Tailai deliberately confessed in Beizhen Fusi, trapping His Majesty in injustice! This is the crime of deceiving the emperor! "

Faced with such a simple question, Zhang Jing said without thinking: "Who else can it be? The ones who have participated in the most fights are you, Lin Tailai, and the servants of the Lin family!"

Lin Tailai was disappointed and muttered loudly: "It's boring!"

Zhao Zhigao was speechless. What does waiting for the opportunity mean? I always feel that Lin Tailai is practicing metaphysics.

Everyone: ""

Unexpectedly, unexpectedly, Lin Tailai has opened everyone's eyes again. How can an honest person explain it like this?

While others were still shocked and no one interrupted, Lin Tailai quickly continued:

"So for an honest man like Chen, who only has stupid ideas like taking action, how can he know anything about fishing? Mr. Zhang is a slanderer!"
