Chapter 270 Shock (please vote for me!)
When we returned to Shen Mansion, it was already dark, and Lin Daguan had a very fulfilling day.

In the morning, he rushed into Uncle Chengyi's house to commit murder and beat up all the male servants of the Liu family.

At noon, he came to the house of Li Zhi, a famous figure in the dynasty and the young minister of Taipu Temple. He directly moved the stone lion at the door and smashed the door of Li's house.

In the afternoon, he arrived at Lingji Palace, invaded the retro-style Yaji, and used his literary talent to kill everyone. He once again dominated the Yaji, and his literary name began to spread in the capital.

Ever since Lin Daguan traveled across time, his days have been generally fulfilling, but there are really not many times when they are as fulfilling as they are today.

In the evening, Shen Shoufu came home from get off work and was a little confused after hearing what happened today.

The pressure created by Lin Tailai was too great, and the chief assistant did not dare to say that he would be able to handle it.

Lin Tailai found the chief assistant in the study and asked: "As for the martial arts examination next month, can the court make up for the palace examination?

Only after adding the palace examination, if I get the first place in the martial arts examination, can I be legitimately called the number one scholar in martial arts. "

In the official title, the former No. 1 in the martial arts examination can only be called the first in the martial arts examination, and there has never been a term for the number one scholar in the martial arts examination.

Shen Shoufu asked back: "You have created so many messy things, and you still have the time to care about Wu Zhuangyuan?"

Official Lin said nonchalantly: "Things are all trivial, and people are all villains. They are nothing to worry about in front of Prime Minister Shen!

However, today I took a huge risk and entered the elegant gathering of Lingji Palace to take a closer look, and found some clues worth being vigilant about. "

Shen Shoufu felt that Lin Tailai was too pretentious. Isn't it possible that Li Zhi and Zhao Yongxian merged? Everyone could see that, what was there to show off?
Zhao Yongxian was the one who opposed Zhang Juzheng's wave of seizing love in the fifth year of Wanli, and Li Zhi was the one who initiated the liquidation of Zhang Juzheng after Zhang Juzheng's death.

Although they are of different ages, their political foundations are based on opposing Zhang Juzheng, so the two groups have a complete basis for converging.

But Lin Daguanren shook his head, "What I want to say is that no one from the Qingliu forces attended this literary gathering."

Even Chief Minister Shen didn't know what Lin was talking about, and asked in confusion: "What does this mean?"

Lin Tailai said inexplicably: "This shows that those clean forces who flaunt their morality are the ultimate thorn in the side of Prime Minister Shen!"

Shen Shixing: "."

He just couldn't understand, how did you, Lin Tailai, deduce this conclusion from the Lingji Palace Gathering?

The Qingliu forces didn't even attend the gathering, so they could be "slandered" by you, Lin Tailai, out of thin air?What is this called? It doesn't exist?
Shen Shoufu didn't want to chat with Lin Tailai, so he took the initiative to bring up the martial arts examination: "Since the establishment of the martial arts examination in our dynasty, we have never held a palace examination.

There are two reasons for this. One is that the imperial court does not pay much attention to the martial arts examination; the other is that the martial arts examination is difficult to handle. "

The difficulty mentioned here is due to technical reasons.

Let’s talk about the Liberal Arts Palace Examination first. Technically, it’s easy to arrange. It’s just a matter of asking the prospective scholars to go to Huangji Hall (originally called Fengtian Hall and later called Taihe Hall) to answer the papers, which symbolizes the emperor’s selection of scholars.

But how to arrange the martial arts examination?Let a group of martial arts warriors carry swords, guns, bows and arrows to the Huangji Palace to compete?
Except Emperor Zhengde, no emperor could accept this, right?
Lin Tailai then came up with an idea and said: "The martial arts examination also has a writing field. If it doesn't work, just present the writing field ink scroll to the emperor, and let the emperor take a few symbolic glances. The No. 1 will naturally be the number one scholar in martial arts."

Then he will lead the top twenty or thirty martial arts scholars to meet the emperor, which is equivalent to a simple version of the Golden Palace. At this point, the palace examination is completed. "

It doesn't need to be very solemn and grand, the main thing is to be simple and save trouble, so as not to add extra burden to the court.

Anyway, what Lin Daguan wanted was to be the first martial arts champion in the Ming Dynasty, and he didn't care whether the process was shabby or not.

Until now, Shen Shixing still couldn't understand, and asked again: "Why are you so keen on martial arts examinations and martial arts champions?

With your talent, it is not a problem to follow the literary path. "

This is the ethos of this era. Anyone who can be called a literati has no intention of taking the martial arts examination. The options and status of martial arts are very limited.

The martial arts test also has a literary project. With Lin Tailai's cultural skills, participating in the martial arts test is simply a dimensionality reduction blow.

Lin Daguan replied impassionedly: "I am determined to be both civil and military and serve the country!"

If you get the top prize in martial arts, and when you have the opportunity to take the liberal arts exam again in the future, and find someone to preach a wave of auspiciousness for both civil and military talents, will the emperor be overjoyed and appoint him directly?
Most opportunities to get ahead come through step-by-step operations like this.

There was still morning court tomorrow, and Shen Shoufu was going to rest. Before leaving, he asked uneasily: "Is it really okay?"

Although there was no beginning or end, Lin Daguan understood what he was referring to and said firmly: "It must be no problem!"

When the gathering at Lingji Palace over there ended, it was already close to midnight.

The Ministry of Etiquette is in charge of the Jiaofang Department, and the level of singing and dancing in the gathering hosted by Zhao Yongxian, the minister, will definitely not be bad.

But although the singing and dancing tonight were good, many people were absent-minded.

Wang Zhiyou, a member of the Ministry of Etiquette, returned home and saw that his second brother, Wang Zhiyuan Shao Situ, was not sleeping. He even sent someone to invite him to the study by the pool to talk.

This is also the right thing to do. Wang Zhiyou went there today with the task of observing the situation. When he came back, he would definitely report to Wang Zhiyuan, the head of the Wang family.

"So the focus today is not Zhao Yongxian or Li Zhi, but Lin Tailai?" Wang Shao Situ said in shock.

Wang Zhiyou said: "Yes, Lin Tailai suppressed everyone, and then had a few confrontations with Zhang Dashima."

Wang Shao Situ asked again: "You just said that Shen Yongmao brought Lin Tailai into the Yaji?"

Wang Zhiyou, who witnessed the scene, quickly corrected: "No, no, it's more like Lin Tailai taking Shen Yongmao with him!
Later, I heard from Shen Yongmao that Lin Tailai broke into Uncle Chengyi's house and beat people today, and also smashed the door of Li Zhi's house. "

60-year-old Wang Shao Situ suddenly felt that his knowledge reserve and experience were completely insufficient.

After being stunned for a while, he asked again: "What kind of person is the Lin Tailai you saw with your own eyes today?"

Wang Zhiyou recalled Lin Tailai's performance, and after thinking about his words for a long time, he described it: "The Lin Tailai I saw today is like Li Taibai from the Tang Dynasty."

Wang Zhiyuan: "."

Did you take the wrong medicine too?See for yourself, are you speaking human language or nonsense?
Wang Zhiyou quickly explained: "Anyone with talent will be proud of their talent and regard their talent as the greatest treasure.

But Lin Tailai gave me the feeling that he didn't seem to take his talent seriously at all.

In his heart, talent is just like eating and drinking, it is his daily experience and there is nothing special about it.

In this state, I only think of Li Taibai. "

Wang Shao Situ sighed: "What I can't figure out now is what value Lin Tailai has in him that allows the always cautious and thoughtful chief assistant to protect him like this."

According to his understanding, the benefits Lin Tailai can bring are limited, and there is absolutely no reason for the chief assistant to take risks and keep protecting Lin Tailai.

Wang Zhiyou did not continue what his second brother said, but said:
"Now the Chief Situ Bi Shangshu of the Ministry of Revenue will definitely retire in old age. This is your opportunity, second brother, to reach a higher level. I thought, when Lin Tailai came to my house with the letter from his brother in the capital, if I could invite Lin Tailai to my house. It would be nice if Tailai came in and deepened our friendship.

Judging from Shen Shoufu's protection for Lin Tailai, it is entirely possible that Lin Tailai can ask Shen Shoufu for help. "

Wang Shao Situ was speechless. He was rational and had to admit that there was indeed such a possibility.

I also remembered that when Lin Tailai left in anger, he once said, "You have lost a minister in the Wang family."

If the young man working as a tax envoy in the south knew about this incident, why not write a [-]-word essay to laugh at himself crazily?
Wang Zhiyou suggested: "Fifteenth sister seems to know a lot about Lin Tailai. We might as well discuss with fifteenth sister tomorrow to see if there is an opportunity to remedy the situation."

Wang Shao Situ said stiffly: "Lin Tailai doesn't know if he can survive tomorrow."

On the second day, Lin Daguanren's name finally shocked the officialdom of the capital and Xicheng.

In various rumors, his identity symbol is no longer just Lin, a retainer of the Shen family, but Lin Jieyuantai.

Every single thing he did yesterday would be big news, let alone three things he did in one day, which caused heated discussions.

At this time, Emperor Wanli still went to court every three days, and today is the day of the court meeting.

As the sky dawned, officials of all sizes came to the right gate of Chang'an and prepared to register and enter the imperial city.

Suddenly, there was a fierce quarrel coming from the direction of the doorway, mixed with discordant shouting.

The officials were very surprised. Who dared to disrupt order here?To put it seriously, this is ruining today's morning session.

Following the sound, he looked around and saw a stretcher outside the doorway of Chang'an's right gate.

Lying on the stretcher was a man in his 50s, wearing high-quality court clothes. He looked like a lord at first sight.

Someone has already recognized it and introduced it to the people around him: "This is the sincere uncle Liu Shiyan!"

Then everyone understood why the count was lying on a stretcher.Earl Liu had his leg broken by a retainer of Shen Shoufu a few days ago, as everyone knows.

Earl Liu waved his arms and shouted to the officers and soldiers guarding the door: "I want to see the emperor, why don't you let me in!"

The gatekeeper said helplessly: "Your Majesty is not well-groomed, so let's forget it."

According to the system, any unsightly situation must be avoided in court. If Earl Liu goes to court in this appearance, it will be a breach of etiquette before the king.

Earl Liu on the stretcher patted the ground crazily and shouted:
"I just want to show the emperor how the hero was bullied later! Let me in! Let me in!"

Although Earl Liu acted as if he was out of his mind, everyone was still understanding.

Anyone who was rushed into the house, beat up dozens of people in the house, and smashed the front hall and study room would be mad.

If it were someone else who was making trouble and making noise here, the gatekeepers would have taken action long ago.But looking at Earl Liu who had a broken leg and could only lie on a stretcher, it was difficult for the officers and soldiers to take action directly.

Everyone in the mixed martial arts circle has heard that this count who came from Nanjing last year is a bit of a rogue.But I didn't expect that this person would become even more rogue after he was injured and broke his leg.

Fortunately, the prime ministers and ministers specially granted permission to enter the palace through Xi'an Gate and Xihua Gate, instead of going through the right gate of Chang'an.

Otherwise, Earl Liu would go crazy when he saw Shen Shoufu.

Just when he didn't know how to end it, a minister stood up and said to Earl Liu: "If you are sincere and humiliated, can you have a memorial? I can submit it on your behalf."

Everyone looked again and found out that the minister was Li Zhi, the young minister of Taipu Temple. This was normal.

Li Zhi and Li Shaoqing were also smashed by Prime Minister Shen's retainers yesterday, and they share the same hatred with Uncle Cheng Yi.

What's more, Li Zhi has been attacking Shen Shoufu in the past two years, and he will definitely not miss this opportunity.

After the excitement outside the right gate of Chang'an ended, the officials began to clock in and enter the palace to attend court.

During today's court meeting, Chief Assistant Shen Shixing always felt that everyone looked at him strangely.

After the ceremonial court meeting held at Huangji Gate (formerly called Fengtian Gate and later Taihe Gate), Emperor Wanli came to the Wenhua Hall to work like a normal emperor.

According to the original history, in about half a year, Emperor Wanli began to get into a lazy rhythm.

But at least for now, Emperor Wanli is still clocking in at work normally.

There was a lecture today. Emperor Wanli, who was forced to study diligently, listened patiently to the end accompanied by his ministers, and then asked the eunuch to announce loudly: "Resign from the court without incident!"

At this time, his favorite minister Li Zhi stood up and said: "I impeach Shen Shixing for three major crimes!"

Emperor Wanli yawned and said lazily: "Speak!"

This is a drama that has been played countless times in the past two years. Emperor Wanli has long been tired of watching it.

But as a means of beating the chief minister, Emperor Wanli had to listen and make a superficial gesture of encouragement.

All in all, Emperor Wanli must not let his courtiers have the idea that "the chief minister cannot be touched".

After receiving the emperor's permission, Li Zhi said: "First, appoint private individuals and form parties for personal gain;

The second is to block the way of speech and suppress the officials; the third is to indulge the followers and commit evil! "

Regarding these three charges, Emperor Wanli was not very interested in the first two because he had heard too many stories about similar impeachments.

Moreover, Emperor Wanli had already understood clearly that he wanted to completely prevent ministers from forming cliques for personal gain. Is that possible?

Don't all the smooth channels of speech have private purposes?Are there no factions for officials who claim to be impartial and impartial?

Therefore, only the third charge, that is, "conniving the retainers to commit crimes", made Emperor Wanli feel fresh.

However, Emperor Wanli still asked doubtfully: "The murder committed by the Shen family's disciples should have been dealt with a few days ago. Why is the old matter brought up again?"

Emperor Wanli thought he was going to talk about Bo Chengyi having his leg broken by a retainer of Shen Mansion.

Li Zhi replied: "Since Lin, a retainer of the Shen family, was forgiven by His Majesty last time, he has become more and more aggressive, running rampant in the capital and no one dares to control him!
In just two days, Lin Tailai first beat up fifty or sixty factory guards and attendants, then broke into Bo Chengyi's house and beat people up and smashed the house, and then he also destroyed the door of Chen's house! "

Emperor Wanli was stunned when he heard this, and the disciple Shen Shixing was too wild.

　I'm still writing supplementary updates, but I won't finish them today and will post them tomorrow morning to noon.
