Flowers on the other side [Comprehensive Red House]

Relying on his original memory, Lin Hai came to the Ministry of Officials, went outside Cheng Yin's office, and gave a piece of silver to Cheng Yin, who was guarding the door in the corridor, first, and then handed over his name badge.The long follower looked at Lin Hai's famous thorn, then took the money, immediately took Lin Hai's famous thorn, and went in to pass it on.After a while, the attendant came out and said, "Master Lin, Cheng Shilang invites you in."

Lin Hai followed the long follower and walked in. The temperature inside the room was much lower than outside, and Lin Hai couldn't help but feel that the pores all over his body tightened.Turning around the screen, the first thing to be photographed out of sight is the iceberg placed in the corner of the room, emitting a whiff of white icy air.Lin Hai glanced at it, then looked away, and saw Cheng Yin had come out from behind the large desk full of documents.

I saw Cheng Yin, the servant of the Ministry of officials again.At this time, Cheng Yin looked to be in his 30s, with a faint cyan color under his eyes. When he looked closely, there was darkness, exhaustion, and even a trace of timidity on his face. He pretended to be majestic and ruthless. In the future, he will have a confident and majestic demeanor.

No matter how he compared Cheng Yin in his heart, Lin Hai hurriedly bowed his hands first, and Cheng Yin immediately returned the salute, leading Lin Hai to sit aside.

What Lin Hai is familiar with is Cheng Yin who is over 40 years old, and Cheng Yin has seen Lin Haizhong riding a horse and boasting about the street style after Tanhua.Faced with Lin Hai, who was ten years older than himself, Cheng Yin subconsciously wanted to touch his face. Why did Lin Hai work so hard in the Jiangnan officialdom, how did he look younger than himself, and he didn’t feel tired from the long journey at all? Compared with when he was Tanhualang, he has added some inner romantic charm.

"Master Lin, will the journey back to Beijing be smooth?"

"It's fine. Thank you, Mr. Cheng, for your concern."

Cheng Yin's entourage brought tea, Cheng Yin ordered to guard the door, and then said to Lin Hai: "Master Lin, Master Zhang Hao, can Master Zhang tell you about transferring you to Beijing?"

Lin Hai immediately stood up, cupped his hands and bowed to the bottom, "Thank you, Mr. Cheng, for Ruhai."

Cheng Yin stretched out his hand to support Lin Hai, "Don't thank me, it was your elder brother Jia She who found me years ago. Later, seeing that Mr. Li, the head of the Imperial Academy, was planning for you in many ways, it was difficult to enter Beijing, so I had to stay in En At Hou's urging, I went to find Imakami."

"Even so, I still have to thank you for your willingness to reach out." Lin Hai said sincerely.

The two were polite, and Cheng Yin then asked: "Lord Lin, have you seen Enhou?"

"Not yet. If Hai enters Beijing, he should report to the Ministry of Officials first. It's just that there is only a six-year-old girl in the family. He has to settle down with his daughter before coming here." Lin Hai thought to himself, the news that he went home first after entering Beijing may be early. We have arrived at the official department.

"Master Cheng, my brother-in-law has already expressed his intention to follow Jinshang on my behalf. You might as well call me by my name, Ruhai."

"Okay. My character is Fansen." The two looked at each other and smiled, as if they were friends who had known each other for many years.

"I have already informed brother Miaoran about the salt administration in the south of the Yangtze River in detail. Brother Miaoran asked for the resumes of his staff who have worked with Ruhai for many years, but what arrangements does Fansen have?"

"The truth is like a sea of ​​truth, Maoran is also a senior official in Qiandi, all he can do is to go to the clan's mansion on time to get some utensils, that is, gifts and other trivial matters in the palaces, all are the stewards of the palace, including Imam The eunuch of the palace. It is because he is afraid that he will be humiliated by other palaces as a Jinshi."

Cheng Yin smiled, "The essence is that he is afraid that he will be humiliated and cannot be retrieved. Those people in the inner court are intertwined with each other, but they will not act recklessly with each other. Although Mao Ran was born as a Jinshi, in the past 20 years , I was also delayed in Shangqian residence today. I want Ruhai's staff, and I want to send them to the Lianghuai Salt Administration Office as the master bookkeeper to help Maoran collect the salt tax."

Cheng Yin paused and continued: "Ruhai, if you don't want to part with it, Fansen can also exchange it for the sake of Enhou."

Lin Hai hurriedly said: "Where would they be reluctant? They have failed to win the Jinshi for many years. They had no choice but to come to Ruhai's side to make a living. They were appreciated by Fansen and took this opportunity to embark on an official career and went to the Lianghuai Salt Administration To be the chief bookkeeper is probably already a blessing from heaven."

"The three people around Ruhai, which two do Ruhai think are suitable?"

"The three people around me are Zhao Lin and Zhao Yulin first. His father was his late father's staff, and then he followed me for more than ten years. Zhao Lin grew up with me, and he was meticulous and serious in his work. Hu Ming and Hu Zongming were next Zong Ming was in the same year as Qiu Wei. He failed several times in the examinations. He was entrusted in the same year to go to the Yushifu of the Lianghuai Salt Administration. At that time, an old friend of my late father recommended him as a person with good mediation ability and strong execution ability. However, with the help that Brother Maoran needed in Lianghuai Salt Administration, Ruhai thought that Zhao Yulin and Hu Zongming were more suitable. As for Fansen has to decide who to use."

"Then according to Brother Ruhai, send Zhao Yulin and Hu Zongming to be the master register of the seventh rank for Zhang Maoran. That week, Kuangwen sent him to the yamen of Yangzhou government office to be the master register of the seventh rank. Yamen mediates."

Lin Hai nodded, and decided to mention the three of them in private.

Cheng Yin continued: "Ruhai has just returned to Beijing, and Miaoran must have informed the recent situation in Beijing and China. Recently, the Taishang wanted to listen to the government again, and the cabinet, Ministry of Rites, and Imperial Academy jointly opposed it. The Ministry of War supports the Supreme Being. The current position is accidental, and there is no manpower at all. In addition to the Ministry of Rites and the Imperial Academy, the cabinet also opposes the Supreme Being re-listening to the government in order to maintain its rights in the court. Alas, it is also difficult to do now. The cabinet ministers are more than What you say today carries more weight."

Lin Hai nodded in agreement.A person who is like an invisible person who hides in the palace to avoid the princes who have the power to fight for the throne is suddenly pulled out to succeed him.

"Fansen doesn't have to worry. Next year there will be Enke Chunwei, the next year there will be Chunwei, and the next year Chunwei will always be able to select talents for today. Wait another three to five years, and the saint will no longer have to worry about no one available. .”

"What Ruhai said makes sense. The difficulty lies with the Ministry of War."

"Has the sage added ministers to the Ministry of War?"

"It's too difficult. The Ministry of War has been honored for many years, and now the saint has no soldiers and no generals."

"How about my brother-in-law Enhou?"

"Jia Zheng's brother-in-law, Wang Ziteng, the second wife of the Jia family, is Taishang's confidant and serves as the governor of the capital. I'm afraid that if Enhou confronts him, he won't have any chance of winning. It's not impossible to annoy Taishang."

"Yes." Lin Hai nodded in agreement. "The sage is far-sighted, and Brother Fansen is thoughtful, but he has no soldiers and no generals, and he is always uneasy. If Enhou can come out to do things, he will also have an extra help today. Noble and noble will never go to the military department more than disgusting literati. Thanksgiving Marquis went in. Besides, Marquis En is the title of first-class general, but he has no real job. If he can get in, he will tear a hole between the nobles and the Ministry of War. Besides, there is no need for brother-in-law En Hou is in place in one step, replacing the capital's Jiedushi, and it will be done slowly. If the martial arts can be reopened, the sage will have a grassroots school captain, and he may be able to select generals from them, so he won't worry about no one will be available for the generals in the future. ?”

Cheng Yin lowered his head and thought for a while, then said: "Ru Hai's words make sense. I will definitely pass on Ru Hai's suggestion to the sage. Ru Hai, then Jia Hua Jia Shifei, do you know that person?"

"My little girl is a teacher. She is a Jinshi on the second list. She claimed to be involved in a corruption case with her boss and colleagues, and she was dismissed together. I didn't go to investigate the details. Because the little girl will not go to school in the future, it doesn't matter if he is a teacher. , came to my house as the host the year before last. That Jia Shifei is also a man with a strategy in his chest and a well-rounded belly. He also writes like a sword and is serious in his work. I’m not sure about its nature. I don’t know if it’s feasible to use it in the censor’s and other incorruptible yamen.”

Cheng Yin nodded, "Well, let him go to Yushitai. Ruhai, Zhao Yulin and Hu Zongming who went to Lianghuai Yamen may pass as soon as possible."

Lin Hai responded, "Okay, I won't miss the autumn salt tour. Zhao Yulin went to Beijing with me. But Jia Shifei and Hu Zongming are still in Jinling, accompanying my brother-in-law Enhou's second son, Jia Lian, to participate in the hospital examination."

"Let Zhao Yulin handle Hu Zongming's dispatch document together, and let Hu Zongming go from Jinling to Yangzhou Prefecture."

Lin Hai nodded.

"How is Jia Lian?"

"Smart and willing to endure hardships, he is a student who is not talented. When he arrived in Yangzhou last spring, his four books were not as good as his little girl's. It was also the four of them who gave lectures to Lian'er this year. Still between five and five."

Cheng Yin nodded and had a preliminary understanding of Jia Lian. "With teachers like the five of you, it's no problem to be a scholar. Ru Hai is too modest. Do you want to cultivate a Tanhua in the future?"

"Well, Lian'er has wasted a lot of time. If you don't have more than ten years of hard work, you can't do it. I'm afraid that by then, Lian'er will not be called Tanhua Lang." It is also for this reason that the number one scholar is inferior to Tanhua.

"It's a pity for the eldest son of Enhou, he is really a clever and clever child." Cheng Yin covered his eyes with his hands as he spoke.

Lin Hai secretly admired Jia She, for being able to get along with someone like Cheng Yin, who nostalgic for the past.

Cheng Yin paused for a while, stood up and said, "Ruhai, come with me to Miansheng."

Cheng Yin took Lin Hai out, and there was a heat wave outside the door. Even though it was evening, the heat still didn't abate in the slightest.There are high walls and rows of scales on all sides, and there is no wind.

Cheng Yin ordered the chief follower to take good care of the house, and immediately took Lin Hai to the Hall of Mental Cultivation.Cheng Yin was able to face the saint at any time, Lin Hai had to re-evaluate Cheng Yin's position in Jinshang's heart again.
