The Ming Dynasty's Spokesperson

Lin Tailai is currently in a state of "seeking talents eagerly". People like Li Weizhen, who value "a scholar will die for his confidant", are still very valuable to win over.

His ability in officialdom may be average, but his character and loyalty are not a problem. As long as he is placed in a position where he only needs to maintain the status quo, he is still very worry-free.

Therefore, Lin Tailai shouted again: "A real man is born between heaven and earth and only seeks fame and fortune. Why be so hypocritical!"

Li Weizhen seemed to be hit on the head, and his heart was no longer hesitant, so he said: "What should I do?"

Lin Tailai asked directly: "Your status in Henan is not low, and you should be well-informed about the news between the government offices. Do you know what scandals and malpractices the Censor Zou Xuezhu has?"

Li Weizhen answered truthfully: "Zou Neitai is still clean and self-disciplined, and I have never heard of his bad deeds."

The Censorate in the Ming Dynasty was in charge of the criminal justice and supervision of a province. Even the Grand Master who supervised the academic affairs held the title of Deputy Censor.

These are all jobs that are prone to corruption, so it is quite rare for an inspector to have no scandals reported.

Lin Tailai couldn't help but sigh and said, "Those among the Qingliu Party members are really good at pretending."

When Li Weizhen thought that Lin Tailai would temporarily release the inspector Zou Xuezhu, he heard Lin Tailai ask:

"Then have the provincial governors and patrol offices had any scandals recently?"

From the provincial government to the various patrols, it is impossible that there are no scandals at all.

Li Weizhen replied, "In the provincial examination last month, there was a rumor that Dai Guangqi, the Right Provincial Governor, cheated in the examination.

The chief examiner sent from Beijing was from Shanxi, and was from the same hometown as Dai Fangbo.

After the results were announced, some successful candidates were so proud that they got drunk and told the truth, relying on Dai Fangbo to get in touch with the examiner."

The so-called Right Provincial Governor refers to the Right Provincial Governor, who was still the highest official in a province in the early years of the founding of the country.

But after the governor system became normalized, the status of the Provincial Governor declined greatly, and in fact had to obey the governor's orders.

But even if it declined further, the Provincial Governor was still a high-ranking official of the second rank, standing at the top of the pyramid of local officials.

Lin Tailai slammed the table and said, "This bad record can be used!"

Li Weizhen didn't understand. Didn't they say they were going to deal with the Provincial Surveillance Commissioner Zou Xuezhu? Why did they want to deal with the Right Provincial Governor Dai Guangqi again?

The key is that dealing with the Provincial Governor really doesn't make much sense for him as a politician.

First, according to the rules of the officialdom, the promotion from the third-rank councillor is the third-rank censor, and there is no direct promotion from the councillor to the governor.

Second, the post of governor now symbolizes retirement, and the promotion of local officials to the governor means that there is no more room for promotion and they are ready to retire.

Being promoted to the censor means that there is still room for improvement, and many of them are transferred to the governor. However, after being promoted to the governor, it cannot be said that there are no demotions to the governor, which is also a rare and extraordinary event.

When he was talking about this, the servant of the posthouse suddenly ran over to report: "Hundreds of people gathered outside the door to make noise! ​​They are all slaves of various royal palaces!"

Li Weizhen hurriedly said: "It must be that Jiuyuanjun beat the people of the three royal palaces yesterday, and today they gathered other royal palaces to retaliate."

Lin Tailai sneered and said: "A group of thugs like chickens and dogs dare to be rampant here! I will be back soon!"

Then he shouted to the left and right: "Put on armor!"

Li Weizhen was shocked! Lin Jiuyuan is in such a high position now, and he will lead the troops in the face of a tough battle!

With such a good relationship, how dare his followers not die for him? How can he not be invincible?

While putting on leather armor, Lin Tailai said to Li Weizhen: "You may have thought too much. I went out in person not to show that I led the troops, nor was I worried that my subordinates could not beat those trash."

Li Weizhen didn't understand and asked: "Then why did Jiuyuan Jun go out in person?"

Lin Tailai put on his helmet and answered: "I took action mainly to help my subordinates bear legal risks.

In judicial practice, there are two concepts for me, Lin Tailai, to beat people and for the servants of the Lin Mansion to beat people.

The former can be exempted from punishment if there are extenuating circumstances, after using my noble status and illustrious merits to offset the opponent;

The latter, even if there are extenuating circumstances, but due to the status of the opponent, the servants may also suffer certain punishments."

Li Weizhen: "."

In this day and age, fighting in a group is not mindless. Do you have to study judicial practice so carefully?

It seems that my understanding of Lin Jiuyuan is too shallow. Rumors and initial contact are not enough to fully understand Lin Jiuyuan.

Li Weizhen sat in the hall waiting. Not long after, he heard the deafening sound of shouting and killing outside.

In less than a cup of tea, the sound outside gradually became smaller until it returned to calm.

Lin Tailai strode into the hall and said to Li Weizhen: "The riot outside the gate of the posthouse has subsided. Li Canzheng had better go out from the back door."

"Why?" Li Weizhen always couldn't keep up with Lin Tailai's thinking.

Lin Tailai replied: "There are hundreds of people lying outside the gate. The road is currently blocked! Unless Li Canzheng likes to step on people!"

Then he heard Lin Tailai mutter: "I hope no real royal family members are hurt among them. They are all family slaves and servants."

Li Weizhen: "."

These royal family members have no actual political power, but their status is nominally noble, and the government cannot punish them by law.

This led to the fact that when the royal family encountered problems, they liked to gather together to fight and act violently, sometimes just like street thugs.

Unexpectedly, today this group of people hit a wall and met a real tough guy who was even more fierce, ruthless and more arrogant.

Kaifeng, a great country in the Song Dynasty, has the temperament of storytelling. Maybe there will be a joke about the Nine-Yuan True Immortal Spear picking off the Eighteenth Prince's Palace in a while.

Lin Tailai, who had just finished a group fight, said indifferently: "There is no need to waste too much energy on small matters. Let's talk about how to deal with Zou Xuezhu, the inspector!"

Li Weizhen only felt that communicating with Lin Tailai was too taxing on his brain, and he could hardly keep track of the repeated jumps.

He said very puzzledly: "Didn't we just talk about the misdeeds of Dai Guangqi, the Right Chief Minister?"

Lin Tailai also felt tired. Li Weizhen, a 45-year-old official who has been in politics for 24 years, still needs to be taught by himself.

Reluctantly, he said: "The right chief envoy has committed a crime. Doesn't it mean that the envoy in charge of supervision has no responsibility?

Specifically, if the chief envoy Dai Guangqi was guilty of cheating in the examination room, then the pre-inspection envoy Zou Xuezhu failed to supervise him beforehand and failed to pursue the case afterwards. This is dereliction of duty! "

Li Weizhen was shocked again!

You, Lin Tailai, want to sacrifice an "innocent" chief envoy in order to get the enemy camp's envoy to dismount?

How is it different from Cao Mengde's behavior of killing innocent grain officers in order to stabilize the morale of the army?

Lin Tailai didn't accept everyone randomly, he gave his own test.

"I have provided the ideas, and you are responsible for the specific operations! My personal suggestion is to nail down Dai Guangqi's examination fraud first!"

Li Weizhen said a little worriedly: "Is this movement too big?"

Lin Tailai immediately hated the fact that iron cannot be transformed into steel, and lectured: "It seems that you haven't adapted to the situation again and corrected your mentality!

Your seniors, old uncles, and old backstage officials are now officials of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, the top official of the Ministry of Civil Affairs!

So what are you afraid of? Even if you mess up, what are the serious consequences? It’s just a change of place! "

Li Weizhen was scolded and left dejectedly.

That night, the provincial government offices jointly held a banquet in honor of Lin Tailai, a minister of the Hanlin Academy, a Shaoqing of Taichang Temple, and a doctor in the third department.

The venue was located in the front hall of the governor's court. All the officials from the province arrived in advance and sat in the side hall to chat.

Governor Zhou Shixuan smiled bitterly at the others and said: "This afternoon, several princes and princes jointly submitted a letter to this court to sue Lin Jiuyuan."

Li Sancai, the left counselor, said very "objectively and impartially": "Lin Jiuyuan is too arrogant in the territory of our Henan government office."

Zou Xuezhu, the inspector, continued: "If he were not arrogant, how could he still be Lin Jiuyuan?

Even when I was the prefect of Henan when Zhang Juzheng was passing through Henan for his funeral, I never heard of Zhang Juzheng seriously injuring hundreds of people. "

Li Sancai added: "Out of etiquette, we will hold a banquet to entertain the Nine Yuan True Immortal, but we cannot be overpowered by him in terms of momentum.

In order to avoid being ridiculed by public opinion as being groveling and flattering, which would make us look bad.

So although we have to treat each other with courtesy, we must not lose our momentum! "

Li Sancai's words contained a certain degree of political correctness, and no matter what they thought, everyone just said yes.

Who doesn't know that behind you, Li Sancai, are the clear forces that control public opinion? If you are too flattering to Lin Tailai in public today, you may be shaped by public opinion.

At this moment, there was suddenly a huge noise and noise coming from the direction of the gate.

Then an officer from the governor's Biao camp hurriedly walked into the side hall and reported: "Lin Tailai's servants want to take over the defense of the gate and vestibule of the procuratorate by force!"

All the officials were shocked. They were indeed discussing Lin Tailai's arrogance just now, and they even did not hesitate to exaggerate.

But now I suddenly discovered that their so-called exaggeration may have been an underestimate?

After the governor Zhou Shixuan came to his senses, he immediately shouted: "Pass my military order, don't give in!"

The lieutenant general was a little embarrassed and replied: "The gate and the vestibule have been taken away by the Lin family's servants."

Zhou Shixuan: "."

Even if a hundred dead pigs block the gate, it will take a long time, right?

When everyone came to the hall, they saw Lin Tailai, who looked like the Kaifeng Iron Tower.

Lin Tailai laughed heartily, saluted Zhou Shixuan and said, "Zhongcheng, don't mind, it's just my personal habit to take over defense wherever I go.

After all, I have made too many enemies, and even suffered ambushes in the palace, so I have to be careful at all times. "

Zhou Shixuan's face turned dark, but he still tried his best to maintain his grace and introduced Lin Tailai to the provincial officials present.

"This is Dai Guangqi, the right uncle!" Zhou Shixuan said, pointing to an old man in his sixties.

Lin Tailai rolled up his sleeves, stretched out his fist as big as a sand bowl, and said boldly:

"I have long heard that Dai Fangbo learned Liuhe Boxing from Tang Jingchuan when he was young, and also created Dai's Xinyi Boxing, and he was the number one master in the northern official circles.

I am lucky enough to meet you today, and I am willing to make friends with you through martial arts, no matter what happens, life or death! "

Everyone: "."

This should be a script for civil servants and officialdom, right? Why did the atmosphere suddenly become martial arts?

Dai Guangqi looked at Lin Tailai's arms, which were thicker than ordinary people's thighs, and then thought about his age, and couldn't help but fall silent.

Seeing that Dai Guangqi refused to fight, Lin Tailai withdrew his fist and said calmly: "I'm joking, don't pay attention!"

The legend of Xingyiquan, which often appears in the realm of Chinese martial arts, originated from Dai’s Xinyiquan in Shanxi. The originator of Dai’s Xinyiquan can be traced back to Dai Guangqi.

Then Lin Tailai said to his left and right officials: "In ancient times, wise ministers did not distinguish between civil and military affairs. As the saying goes, a general becomes a prime minister!

I, Lin Tailai, would like to carry forward the ancient style again, but there are only a few people who share the same idea!

Dai Fangbo can be regarded as a person who follows my ideas, but it is a pity that he is old and it is difficult for Feng Tangyi and Li Guang to be sealed! "

Everyone was speechless. Old Dai was obviously your predecessor, so how could he be considered a follower of your ideas?

However, looking at Lin Tailai's fist as big as a sand bowl, it was indeed not easy to be serious about this matter.

Governor Zhou Shixuan had to forcibly interrupt Lin Tailai and continue to introduce: "This is Li Sancai, the left councilor and supervisor of river engineering."

This is also a historical celebrity, a very special figure in the Donglin Party, the Donglin Party that is least like the Donglin Party.

Originally, the dispute over Li Sancai's entry into the cabinet in the late Wanli Dynasty was also one of the famous and iconic party disputes.

Lin Tailai looked at the 40-year-old version of Li Sancai with interest and asked, "You look familiar, I seem to have seen you before?"

Li Sancai replied reluctantly, "In the 14th year of Wanli, in the Confucius Temple of the Imperial College in Nanjing."

Lin Tailai suddenly realized, "When I was sweeping the floor in the Dacheng Hall, I debated with Gu Xiancheng. It turns out that you are one of the background."

Li Sancai: "."

Then Lin Tailai continued, "But later I heard that you are very capable?"

Li Sancai didn't know how to respond for a while. What does this "very capable" mean? Is it praising himself?

Lin Tailai pointed at Li Sancai again and said loudly to everyone around him, "Li Xiuwu is not particular about trivial matters. He is brave and handsome. Although he likes to use power, he is extravagant and has great plans!"

Fuck! Li Sancai was confused. Is Lin Tailai really praising himself?

Damn! He actually felt like a confidant for these words! He should really be such a hero!

Sure enough, the praise from the enemy camp is the most valuable?

Others were also surprised. Lin Tailai's summary was so insightful.

As officials in Henan, everyone knew what Li Sancai's temperament was like.

"You are too kind, too kind." Li Sancai was embarrassed to say a few humble words. After all, you should not hit a smiling person.

Lin Tailai was still pointing at Li Sancai, and added: "In short, he is like me in all aspects!"

Everyone: "."

It has to be admitted that "not particular about details, brave and handsome, although he likes to use power, but he is wasteful and has great plans" seems to be more appropriate for Lin Tailai.

I am afraid that Senator Li will leave an image of "Little Lin Jiuyuan" or "Lin Jiuyuan imitation" in the future. I don't know if this is a comedy or a tragedy.

Li Sancai's eyes went dark and he almost fainted on the spot. How can he live from now on?

As long as Lin Tailai doesn't fall, won't he live in Lin Tailai's shadow forever?

Governor Zhou Shixuan glanced at Li Sancai, you kept saying that you can't lose momentum, but this is the result?

Li Weizhen was completely devoted, this Lin family was worth following even if they were Cao Cao, because the consequences of refusing to recruit him might be more serious.
