The Ming Dynasty's Spokesperson

Shen Shixing was speechless by his good boy until he had nothing to say, because this time his son really hit the mark in advance.

Acquiescing to others to expel Lin Tailai from the capital was indeed a bad move.

Then Shen Yongmao repeated it again: "So father, stop thinking too much and let Lin Jiuyuan come back as soon as possible to clean up the situation!"

In Shen Yongmao's mind, this is the best way to break the situation.

Although his father was confused for a moment, Lin Tailai would not ignore death as long as he found his way back.

However, after hearing these words from Hao Daer, Shen Shixing suddenly realized something. After being stunned for a moment, he clapped his forehead with his hand and said, "I understand! That's how it is!"

Shen Yongmao was puzzled. What kind of style did his father have?

Shen Shixing explained a little: "The reason why the emperor treated me like this is to encourage Lin Tailai to return to the capital!"

For the emperor, it was very simple to let Lin Tai return to Beijing. All he had to do was send an imperial edict of "reinstatement of official duties" to the Xuan Mansion.

But in doing so, it would appear as if the emperor had done something wrong before, which was why the disaster was caused.

At the same time, the emperor needed Lin Tai to go back and forth to the capital to set the pace, so he adopted such a tortuous indirect method.

This means: If you, Shen Shixing, want to be stable, you should quickly summon Lin Tailai back.

The reasons are all ready, and there is a crisis for the backer and chief assistant!

After thinking about this, Shen Shixing could finally feel at ease.

As long as the emperor is not dissatisfied with him or wants to change his chief assistant, he can rest assured for the time being.

It's not that he can't afford to play, he has indeed thought of resigning many times before.

But he couldn't be dismissed from office because of the disaster. Wouldn't that make him a traitor?

With this in mind, Shen Shixing told Shen Yongmao: "Write a letter to Li Tingji and ask the mission to return to Beijing immediately!

After all, Lin Tailai was the escort soldier of the mission, so he naturally wanted to come back with the mission. "

Shen Yongmao said: "Lin Jiuyuan said before that he doesn't need to take care of you, father. This can also be understood conversely, saying that he won't take care of you, father.

If his father still has the mentality of a superior, Lin Jiuyuan will not come back easily.

No one understands Lin Jiuyuan better than me! As long as he stays at the border, he will definitely not be the one who is anxious!

So I suggest that, father, you show some real sincerity. "

As soon as he said this, a director of the Ministry of Industry suddenly claimed that there was an urgent matter and requested to see Shen Shoufu immediately.

Neither father nor son knew what happened, so they asked the chief to come in and report.

I could only hear the person in charge saying: "The Ministry of Industry has recently been responsible for the construction of the Martyrs' Shrine. When the official left Xizhimen to go to the construction site, he found that Lin Jiuyuan was on duty at Xizhimen again!"

Application: ""

Damn it! Why did he get slapped in the face at the speed of light this time?

He had just vowed that Lin Tailai would not come back to Beijing easily, but in the blink of an eye, Lin Tailai landed at Xizhimen.

Also, I was helping to bargain with my father, Lin Jiuyuan, why did you come back?

After Shen Shixing was stunned for a moment, he asked Haodaer, "Did you just say that no one understands Lin Jiuyuan better than you?"

Shen Yongmao argued: "This must be a coincidence! The disaster started to be discussed in the court for several days, how could it spread to the border areas so quickly?

Therefore, Lin Tai's return to Beijing must be accidental and has nothing to do with the dispute about disasters. "

Shen Shixing scolded: "Think about it with your brain, one of the places where the star fall occurred is Xuanfu!

And Lin Tailai is also in Xuan Mansion, won't he see it with his eyes? Do you still need to know the court discussion to know that a disaster has occurred?

Lin Tailai must have left Xuanfu and returned to Beijing after witnessing the falling star! "

Shen Yongmao explained: "That was because Lin Jiuyuan was extremely sober and was afraid that the emperor and the court would think that he was taking advantage of the disaster, so he actively returned."

Shen Shixing: ""

In your heart, whatever Lin Tailai does is correct?

Shen Yongmao sighed again: "But father, don't you think that in this way, you have lost even the role of summoning Lin Tai back to Beijing? You are considered marginalized this time!"

Shen Shixing didn't know whether it was because of his tough words or for some reason, but he retorted: "Being marginalized is a good thing."

Then Shen Yongmao was too lazy to continue arguing with his father, so he hurriedly left the Shen Mansion and informed the comrades of the update agency about Lin Tailai's return.

Under the Xizhimen city wall, President Pang looked at Lin Tailai, his heart trembling, and he stammered, "Why are you back now?"

Since Lin Tailai left last time, Boss Pang, who had not paid much attention to the political situation of the court in the past thirty years, suddenly began to care about politics.

Just recently, in order to build the Martyrs' Shrine, officials often come in and out of Xizhimen, so Mr. Pang Ba has a channel to collect information.

Therefore, Mr. Pang knew that there was a disaster and the court had entered a very sensitive period.

Then when he opened his eyes after taking a nap today, he found that Lin Tailai was already standing in front of him.

To come back so quickly during a sensitive period is obviously because the person who came is not good, and the good person will not come!

Lin Tailai replied matter-of-factly: "I was transferred from Xizhimen. If I don't go back to Xizhimen, where can I go back?"

There were no formalities when he came back. Mr. Pang said doubtfully: "Didn't you go with the envoy? What about the envoy?"

Lin Tailai replied: "I don't know either. The mission may still be in the border town, maybe on its way back."

Mr. Pang was shocked! Isn't this kind of behavior a typical deserter?

It is a crime for soldiers to flee from the border town to the capital without permission! Especially since you, Lin Tailai, are a criminal who was exiled, it is an even greater crime!

"What? You want to report me?" Lin Tailai asked with a sidelong glance.

Pang Bazong: ""

In broad daylight, you are still so confident?

Even if he dared not report it, there must be many people seeing it with the constant flow of people at the city gate, especially since your appearance is so eye-catching.

If the Jinyiwei officers and soldiers appear to catch the deserters in the next moment, it would not be surprising at all!

I will not be convicted of the crime of harboring, right? Pang Bazong thought worriedly.

But contrary to what Pang Bazong imagined, after Lin Tailai fled back, there was no turmoil in Xizhimen, and it was still calm.

This made Pang Bazong difficult to understand. Could it be that the officials in the capital were blind?

Anyway, Lin Tailai was in Xizhimen, but it seemed that everyone pretended not to see him.

Then Pang Bazong saw Lin Tailai sitting at the foot of the city wall, sighing and groaning.

When he got closer, he heard Lin Tailai talking to himself: "How could this be? How could this happen?"

Pang Bazong couldn't help asking: "No one came to catch you, a deserter. Isn't it a good thing?"

But he was still sitting here worrying. Is there something wrong with his heart?

Lin Tailai sighed: "I thought there would be an order to reinstate me. Otherwise, why would I actively return to Beijing?"

Pang Bazong analyzed very shrewdly: "This shows that the emperor is very dissatisfied with you."

??????55.??????

Lin Tailai said unhappily: "The power of heaven is unpredictable. You know nothing!"

Even if others have become blind and deaf, he, Lin Tailai, is not. He knows the current situation clearly.

Since the emperor did not reinstate him, it must mean that he wants Lin Tailai to work hard first and then exchange for fame and fortune!

The core issue at present is that the emperor hopes that Lin Tailai can play to his strengths, create topics and guide public opinion, and take all the responsibility for the disaster.

Let the world know that the disaster occurred because the court officials expelled Lin Tailai, not because the emperor was immoral.

But this view is a bit far-fetched in the world's cognition. Even though Lin Tailai is a Nine Yuan True Immortal, he is still a little less important than the True Dragon Emperor. It is hard to say whether it is worth disturbing the heavens.

So the emperor needs to further strengthen the guidance of public opinion, which is the emperor's current expectation for Lin Tailai.

There is no problem with reinstating the official or even promoting him, but he should work hard first to see the effect.

The above is the emperor's idea, and Lin Tailai knows it very well.

But he also has difficulties, because he can't go directly.

He can't go on the battlefield and say everywhere that the celestial phenomenon should be on me, Lin Tailai! Generally, those who spread this everywhere are preparing to rebel.

Just like in a lawsuit, the witnesses must be third parties, and they can't testify for themselves.

So Lin Tailai's current worries are here.

I had hoped that if I paraded around Xizhimen, someone would report and impeach me for deserting the army, and then take the opportunity to make trouble.

Unexpectedly, no one paid any attention to me!

Let the ministers prove that the disasters were caused by themselves, and if they can't prove it, they will not be reinstated - it must be said that Emperor Wanli also learned one tenth of the essence of his grandfather, Emperor Jiajing.

However, facing the difficult problems assigned by the leaders, how to fool through formalism is a compulsory course for bureaucrats.

Since the problem cannot be solved, it can only be fooled.

Thinking of this, Lin Tailai said to General Pang again: "Old Pang, the future of the Ming Dynasty depends on you!"

General Pang shuddered all over. He would rather hear himself being called a waste than hear this "Old Pang".

In the Wenyuan Pavilion of the inner court, the two Wangs were trapped and restless. It was too difficult to be a minister now.

Could the two ministers still tell the emperor that the disasters were caused by the exile of Lin Tailai?

Isn't this just hitting yourself in the face? They were the source of Lin Tailai's exile!

But they couldn't say to the emperor, "Your Majesty, you have lost your virtue." After all, the emperor had just comforted them. If they continued to talk like this, it would be equivalent to directly contradicting the emperor, which was not acceptable in terms of human relations.

They had reason to suspect that the emperor had deliberately created this situation.

At least at the cabinet level, they had achieved silence. Shen Shoufu, who was qualified to talk a few words, was still resting at home.

Suddenly, a Zhongshu Sheren was seen holding a memorial and running into the middle hall of Wenyuan Pavilion.

At first glance, it was known that there must be an important memorial coming in, and most of them were the kind that would cause headaches.

After the two Wang Gelao failed to give way to each other, they put the memorial on the middle table and appreciated it together.

You must first look at the heading of the text, which reads "Send the criminal Lin Tailai, who was exiled to Xizhimen, to die with all my heart."

Emperor Taizu Gao stipulated that all soldiers and civilians in the world could submit a petition and submit it to the Tongzhengsi.

So it is not unreasonable for the memorial submitted by Lin Tailai, the gatekeeper of Xizhimen, to appear?

The two princes looked at each other and continued to read. But after reading, the two princes were shocked!

Then they subconsciously looked at the memorial again and raised their heads. Yes, it was Lin Tailai's memorial!

Wang Xijue immediately closed the memorial and said without hesitation: "We can't control it! Send it directly to the emperor!"

At this time, Emperor Wanli was sitting on the imperial boat in Taiye Lake, Xiyuan, enjoying the spring water and garden scenery.

It seemed that being away from the shore and hiding in the imperial boat could temporarily make him forget the pile of "admonitions" sent every day, and he didn't know when it would end.

Even though he was the supreme ruler with the power of life and death, he could not directly influence public opinion outside.

Grandpa Jiajing's method was to pull one faction against another, and he played it to perfection. Why couldn't he play it well?

A eunuch reminded Emperor Wanli: "Zhang Cheng, the seal holder of the Imperial Household Department, is waving at the shore, as if there is an urgent matter."

Emperor Wanli said helplessly: "Dock, let him come up!"

He knew that Zhang Cheng must have brought troubles, but if it was not a major matter, Zhang Cheng would not come over temporarily.

After Zhang Cheng got on the imperial boat, he directly said: "Lin Tailai submitted a memorial!"

Emperor Wanli looked at the white tower in the distance and said casually: "I am too lazy to read it, you just read it!"

Zhang Cheng looked at the content and read it, "Send the criminal Lin Tailai to Xizhimen to death. I respectfully request your majesty to Zhang Shengde, be careful in sleeping and waking up, save medicine and bait, stay away from noise and color, block temptations from the inside, look at the court more, establish the East Palace, and open the imperial lecture"

The eunuchs accompanying Emperor Wanli were all shocked!

Lin Tailai actually submitted such a "frank remonstrance" memorial! It was really shocking!

He also made nine three-character phrases, each of which was like a stab in the emperor's back!

These eunuchs knew what the emperor expected of Lin Tailai, so Lin Tailai's memorial was tantamount to a stab in the emperor's back!

At this time, everyone hurriedly lowered their heads and held their breath, not daring to look at the emperor's face at all!

Emperor Wanli's fat face was ashen, very ferocious, and he shouted sternly: "Lin Tailai deserves to die! Damn it!"

He has always been very tolerant of Lin Tailai. Last time, Lin Tailai beat up the eunuchs in the palace and asked for the establishment of the eldest son of the emperor in person. In the end, he just let it go lightly and did not pursue it too much!

But after repeated leniency, what he got in return was such a memorial?

There were many ministers who submitted memorials with such content, most of whom were just annoyed, but Lin Tailai caused a huge anger!

The expectation for you, Lin Tailai, is to bear the disaster and relieve the worries of the emperor, but you, Lin Tailai, learned from those who seek fame and reputation and submitted this kind of memorial to seek fame!

Isn’t your reputation loud enough? Are you, Lin Tailai, so greedy!

Emperor Wanli shouted again: "Send an order to Sun Xian! Interrogate Lin Tailai immediately!

Let him explain why he was so crazy and wrote such a memorial to slander the emperor and father!"

The eunuch Zhang Cheng, who was in charge of the Imperial Household Department, hurriedly advised: "Your Majesty, please calm down! If you interrogate Lin Tailai like this, I'm afraid that the public opinion will be turbulent and annoying!"

Emperor Wanli said angrily: "Are we going to let Lin Tailai act so recklessly?"

Zhang Cheng said again: "Here is another memorial, Your Majesty may wish to read it first!

The gatekeeper of Xizhimen reported Lin Tailai to the emperor, saying that he had escaped from the border to the capital without authorization and committed the crime of desertion!

If you want to arrest Lin Tailai and punish him, this crime is enough, and the facts are all there!"

Emperor Wanli: ""

What the hell is this turn of events?
