The Ming Dynasty's Spokesperson

Under the strong interference of Prime Minister Shen, there was no more drama in the East Court Room, and the other ministers dispersed.

Prime Minister Shen did not move, and Lin Tailai also did not move in tacit understanding. In the end, only these two people were left in the open space outside the East Court Room.

Seeing that there were no outsiders around him, Prime Minister Shen said: "Stop it, Jiuyuan, there are factory guards and schools on the scene, too much is as bad as too little."

Lin Tailai said dissatisfiedly: "I wanted to deal with it all in one go, but you interrupted me again."

Shen Shixing said puzzledly: "Why are you so anxious? Logically speaking, you should be the least anxious person. You are so young and have more time than us, but you act so hastily."

Lin Tailai replied helplessly: "There are too many things to do, and time is running out."

It is now the second half of the 19th year of Wanli. If nothing unexpected happens, Japan will attack Korea in the first half of next year.

It is estimated that by then, Emperor Wanli will still appoint him, Lin Tailai and Li Rusong, a combination of civil and military affairs.

After all, people are superstitious, and the winner does not need to change. This combination won the last war, so it will probably continue to be used habitually next time.

Before that, I have to try to take time to go back to my hometown and arrange the new work after the dredging project in the lower reaches of the Wusong River.

It can be said that time is very tight, so how can there be too much time to repeatedly dawdle on some trivial matters?

Prime Minister Shen could not understand Lin Tailai's situation and mentality, but just felt that Lin Tailai was too rude to others recently and lacked patience.

As the hot summer passed, Emperor Wanli resumed outdoor activities. When he was relaxing in the West Garden, he heard the report about today's confrontation.

For some reason, the emperor suddenly laughed and said to the eunuchs of the Silijian: "It seems that Lin Tailai really doesn't want a title."

Zhang Cheng, the seal holder, said: "If Lin Tailai is over fifty years old, or has already reached a ministry, he may want a title."

Unlike others, the most important issue for Emperor Wanli is whether to confer a title?

If he is not given a title, people may say that the royal family treats his meritorious officials unfairly; but if he is given a title, it seems that Lin Tailai is left idle, which is a pity.

After all, from the emperor's point of view, Lin Tailai is still quite useful. If he becomes a retired noble, it would be a waste.

The eunuch Chen Ju suggested: "Lin Tailai has violated many laws and disciplines recently, so we can wait a few more days.

If there are still people who dare to impeach Lin Tailai, we can cancel the reward of the title as a punishment.

If no one dares to impeach Lin Tailai again, please ask the emperor to grant Lin Tailai a title."

Emperor Wanli praised: "Very good! Let's do this!"

That evening, Lin Tailai took 200 servants and strolled outside the gate of the Censorate.

As long as the emperor does not express his position, these illegal and disorderly things cannot stop.

Don't ask the reason, if you ask, it's just that the meritorious officials are polluting themselves!

The Left Censor-in-Chief Lu Guangzu, who could stand out, had already stayed at home because he had submitted a petition to resign, so the other people in the Censorate could not stop Lin Tailai.

However, Lin Tailai was unusually particular today and did not embarrass most of the censors. He only stopped the few censors who had impeached him.

Lin Tailai smiled and said to the leading censor Feng Congwu: "Censor Feng, we meet again so soon. Now let's talk about your betrayal of the country and collusion with the enemy?"

Feng Congwu and others were in a dilemma and could only respond: "This slander is really ridiculous. We don't bother to refute it!"

Lin Tailai asked again: "If the court believed your impeachment and demoted me or recalled me to the court, would there be two great victories in Xining and Gansu to quickly relieve the pressure in Shaanxi and Gansu?

Would it be possible to quickly quell the rebellion of Haibai in just three months?

So your behavior is equivalent to assisting the bandits and Haibai. What else is it but betrayal of the country and collusion with the enemy?"

After throwing dirty water, Lin Tailai expected that the other party would start to talk about the old sayings such as "hearing things" and "speaking freely".

Alas, even after traveling through time, we still have to debate the issue of "freedom of speech".

But Feng Congwu took a step back, then took out a memorial and said in a deep voice: "Lin Tailai, you are looking for an excuse to stop me here. Are you trying to stop me from submitting a memorial?"

Lin Tailai was confused and didn't understand what Feng Congwu wanted to do for a while.

Feng Congwu held up the memorial and continued loudly: "Foreign enemies are just a minor problem. The foundation of the country is the fundamental plan of the country. As the saying goes, a solid foundation will lead to peace in the country!

Last year, the emperor instructed that the East Palace would be established on the winter solstice this year, but there has been no movement so far. We are about to submit a joint memorial to persuade the emperor to start preparing for the ceremony of establishing the crown prince in advance!

Lin Tailai, you intercepted me for no reason with a poor excuse. Are you here for this memorial?"

Lin Tailai: "."

What the hell is this? Why is this routine so familiar?

Is it possible that the enemy has also begun to evolve in the battle of wits and courage with himself?

Some imperial censors who were watching nearby started to make a noise, shouting: "Lin Jiuyuan! No matter what grudges you have with Feng Congwu, let him submit a memorial to the country first, okay?"

What bad luck! Lin Tailai turned around and left without saying anything.

People can't always have everything go smoothly, just think of it as not checking the almanac before going out and stepping on dog shit!

At this time, Feng Congwu, who was holding the memorial, spoke again: "Lin Jiuyuan, wait, listen to me!

Last year, the emperor summoned the cabinet ministers and you, and you were the one who first proposed to establish the East Palace in front of the emperor, which is really a great contribution to the country!

Now that the date of the emperor's edict is getting closer and closer, why are you still silent and do nothing about the country's affairs?"

Lin Tailai sighed secretly, you good Qingliu party members, why don't you learn from it?

If you use this method of moral kidnapping, go get the cabinet minister, go get the minister of the Ministry of Etiquette, what will he do from the middle level of the fourth rank!

Thinking of this, Lin Tailai gritted his teeth and said: "Who said I have done nothing? In the past few days, I will show you what it means to make a difference!"

Lin Jiuyuan himself is invincible, so he cannot be defeated in the scene no matter what!

Feng Congwu shouted to Lin Tailai's back: "I'm waiting for what you will do!"

Cheers erupted outside the gate of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. This seemed to be the first time the Metropolitan Procuratorate had defeated Lin Tailai head-on.

Today, Censor Feng Congwu has become a hero of the Metropolitan Procuratorate!

In the crowd, the two censors He Zhuo and Qian Yiben, who had visited Lin Mansion in the middle of the night, looked at each other with bitter looks on their faces.

According to the assumption, it was the two of them who defeated Lin Tailai and became the heroes of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Why were they still intercepted?

If you can't become the most beautiful person in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, wouldn't those two famous paintings be given away for nothing?

Qian Yiben murmured to himself: "What should we do?"

He Zhuo replied: "I can only believe that Lin Tai is here."

Lin Tailai resumed work the next day and went to the Hanlin Academy first.

Jiuyuan Zhenxian, who was in a bad mood, met the editor Ye Xianggao as soon as he arrived at Dengyingmen, and he started knocking around while he had nothing to do.

"A few days ago, Sun Jigao returned to the Hanlin Academy and was responsible for the important work of teaching Shujishi.

Are you dancing with joy, as if you have found your backbone, and are you leaning down to take refuge with you? "

Ye Xianggao looked confused, "I went to another province on a business trip a while ago, and I wasn't in the Hanlin Academy at all!"

Lin Tailai scolded: "Even if you are not in the Hanlin Academy, you must still yearn for Sun Jigao and wish you could come back soon!

People like you must pay close attention to your thoughts and never relax! "

Ye Xianggao: "."

Damn it! The Imperial Academy is already in darkness. There is no point in continuing to be an Imperial Academy. I might as well resign and go home!

After entering the No. 1 Scholar Hall, Lin Tailai called over Wu Daonan, who was ranked No. 1 in the same year, and asked suspiciously:

"Old Wu, regarding "Le Chao Xun Lu", the task I entrusted to you was to copy thirty or fifty volumes. How come you ended up handing in two hundred volumes?

Are you being high-end and black? If it weren't for my profound skills, I almost wouldn't be able to hold on! "

Wu Daonan called Qu and said: "I originally wanted to copy fifty volumes and then stop, but there are still some enthusiastic people who also want to ghostwrite. I can't resist these enthusiasms, and in the end I couldn't compile 200 volumes."

Lin Tailai sighed and said, "It won't happen next time. This time, please tell me the name of the enthusiast."

After sending Wu Daonan away, Dong Qichang and Zhou Yingqiu came over again to chat with Lin Tailai. The three of them hadn't chatted like this for a long time.

Seeing that it was noon, the three of them were preparing to go to the dining hall to eat. Suddenly Zhang Wen, the guardian of the left, stood at the door and reported: "The target has come out! I just happened to go to the temple to burn incense today!"

Dong Qichang asked curiously: "What goal?"

Lin Tailai replied: "That's Uncle Guo Zheng Guotai."

Dong Qichang couldn't understand why you, Lin Jiuyuan, are still having trouble with the Zheng family?

Lin Tailai then explained: "Yesterday, the Qingliu Party used national affairs to try to get rid of me. I had no other choice but to find a way out from the Zheng family."

Dong Qichang was speechless. How many years have passed and you, Lin Jiuyuan, are still not done with the Zheng family?

As an old friend, I am very familiar with Lin Tailai's dark history.

Over the years, every time the country encounters trouble, you, Lin Jiuyuan, have maliciously stepped on the Zheng family! Uncle Guo Zheng Guotai is really unlucky for eight lifetimes when he meets you!

Even for a fat sheep, the wool is almost gone!

"How can you taint someone's innocence?" Lin Tailai retorted to Dong Qichang: "Who said I would step on the Zheng family again? I am helping them this time!"

Then Lin Tailai didn't even eat lunch, and quickly took his servants to the Chaotian Palace in Xicheng!

The next morning, the censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate discovered that two hundred servants of the Lin Mansion were blocking the gate of the Metropolitan Procuratorate again.

Under everyone's expectations, yesterday's heroic censor Feng Congwu was forced to appear again.

Feng Yushi didn't want to come out at all. If he faced Lin Tailai, it would be enough to succeed once by chance. How could he be lucky again and again?

But everyone forced him out as a "hero", and he couldn't help himself.

"Lin Jiuyuan came just in time!" Feng Yushi, who pretended to be calm, greeted him and said: "For the sake of the country, we would like to invite you to join us in a joint petition. I believe that as the person who initiated the initiative, you will not refuse, right?"

Lin Tailai declined and said: "The important thing about this kind of memorial is that it is meaningful, not the number of people who sign it. Besides, I am not a public official, so I will not participate in your co-signing."

Feng Yushi added: "Lin Jiuyuan, as an important minister and deeply favored by the emperor, shouldn't you show something?"

Lin Tailai also took out a memorial and said, "I came here today just to show you my performance!"

Feng Yushi asked in surprise: "Are you going to go to school alone?"

Can't? No way? Would Lin Tailai do something like this that would directly anger the emperor?

Lin Tailai replied proudly: "Yesterday I took my servants to find my uncle Zheng Guotai himself, and I was moved by my emotions and reason, and urged him to submit a petition to appoint the emperor's eldest son as the East Palace!

And the book I have in my hand is Zheng Guotai’s memorial! "

All the imperial censors who were blocked at the gate were all confused. What is the meaning of "Xiao Zhi is moved by emotion and moved by reason"? Only "persuading" is the truth, right?

Counting from the 14th year of Wanli, we have been engaged in national struggle for five years, and we have never done anything like this!

Forcing the chief minister of the Zheng family to request the establishment of the emperor's eldest son, what kind of new trick is this?

Although Lin Tailai is an enemy, I have to admit that he is really creative!

Lin Tailai asked Feng Yushi: "Don't you want to see my performance? Don't you ask me to do something?

Now, according to your request, I have done my best for the country's affairs, so let's continue to talk about your collusion with the enemy and selling out the country!"

Feng Congwu was stunned for a moment, and said a little sadly: "You are a complete rogue!"

Lin Tailai shouted: "Anyone can make a memorial to the country's ability, and it won't be of much use if I am one more!

It is rare to persuade the Zheng family to petition for the establishment of the eldest son of the emperor. Who of you can do it?

I am different from you speculators. I only do difficult things. What do you think?

Even your contribution to the country's affairs is not as good as mine. What's the use of you censors in the court?"

Yushi Feng seemed to be standing in the coldest days of winter, and his whole body was frozen.

The other censors covered their faces and couldn't bear to watch anymore. It was too sad that a hero ended up so worthless.

Lin Tailai still didn't let go, "Don't talk about other things, just explain why you are collaborating with the enemy and selling out your country.

Say! Did you surrender to the bandits or to Haobai?"

At this time, two more censors came out together, holding up the memorial, and said loudly:

"Lin Tailai! We jointly impeach you for being arrogant and bullying ministers, and for being a tyrannical traitor in the world!

We will go to Huijimen to submit the memorial now, do you dare to stop us?"

Everyone looked and saw that it turned out to be two senior censors He Zhuo and Qian Yiben who had been in decline for two years.

Unexpectedly, when Lin Tailai was the most rampant, they bravely stood up and impeached Lin Tailai face to face.

Everyone knows that Lin Tailai, who has made great contributions but has not been rewarded, is the most domineering and powerful.

It is not an exaggeration to say that impeaching Lin Tailai in this state is a life-or-death struggle!

So these two people are like a ray of light in the darkness, making the censors burst into tears.

There is no shortage of heroes in the world. It is because there are heroes coming forward one after another that the world will be bright.

Lin Tailai stared at the two censors He and Qian for a while, and finally waved his hand to let the servants make way.

He was still muttering: "I, Lin Tailai, have always abided by the law. How dare I commit the crime of intercepting memorials?"

The two censors held the memorials and walked towards the imperial city with their heads held high.

At the same time, I finally breathed a sigh of relief. That's great. This Lin Tailai is really a trustworthy person. It's okay to call him a traitor.

The most beautiful people in the Censorate are still the two of them after all!
