The Ming Dynasty's Spokesperson

Lin Tailai was fined "half a year's living allowance" for beating up the straight female delegation.

He was still unconvinced, so he wrote another note and echoed: "The hair and skin of the body are received by parents and do not dare to damage them. This is the beginning of filial piety.

Nowadays, we see that the hair style of canonized straight women is 90% shaved but not completely bald. The back of the head is braided like a copper coin with a rat tail. It is ugly, indecent and unfilial.

Please let him grow his hair so that he can show his teachings in the Central Plains and his holy virtues in the Ming Dynasty. "

Emperor Wanli's imperial approval: "I'm really free, go to the Yamen carefully!"

So Lin Tailai had to go to work, and he went to the Hanlin Academy first.

It's easy and pleasant to do things here, and Lin Tai resumes his official post as soon as he comes.

Chen Xueshi, the head of the Hanlin Academy, told Lin Tailai: "The official department is in charge of government affairs and is actually the most important yamen. You must not ignore it and must be careful about it.

The Ministry of Rites is in charge of culture, education and customs. In the Ministry of Rites, you are in charge of foreign affairs and welcome all nations. It is related to the prestige of our country, the Ming Dynasty. You should not treat it lightly, but you must do your best."

Lin Tailai didn't feel anything at first, but the more he heard, the more something was wrong.

You, Chen Yubi, are a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, but here you carefully and repeatedly asked him, Lin Tailai, to work seriously in the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Rites.

What does this mean? Why don't you come to Hanlin Academy if you have nothing to do?

Reinstatement had to be signed by the other party, so Lin Tailai couldn't resist, so he listened patiently for a long time.

Coming out of Chen Xueshi's apartment, the morning classes for the newcomer Shu Jishi had ended long ago.

Lin Tailai originally thought that he would give a few words to the newcomers as soon as he was reinstated, but in the end he couldn't keep up with the warm one.

Lin Tailai was obviously very unwilling to accept this, and felt like he had lost a large-denomination banknote.

In Lin Tailai's mind, working in a leisurely and noble place like the Hanlin Academy is about as much work as building a sense of presence.

If you can't gain a sense of presence or increase your reputation, what are you doing in the Hanlin Academy? Practice big guns?

Thinking of this, Lin Tailai did not go back to the No. 1 Scholar Hall, but strolled to Keting in the backyard.

Since you haven’t found anyone new, find an old person to brush them up.

Sure enough, more than a dozen Hanlin officials were sitting here, gathering to give lectures.

Lin Tailai leaned over in a low-key manner and listened to a few words quietly.

Today, these Hanlins were actually discussing literature, which made Lin Tailai immediately overjoyed!

If it's about classics and meanings, Lin Tailai will turn around and leave, but if it's about literature or history, he can exchange a few hundred sentences unilaterally.

"Cough! Cough! Cough!" Lin Tailai made a loud voice, attracting everyone's attention.

An old Hanlin with gray hair said dissatisfiedly: "There are so many seniors here, what are you talking about?"

Lin Tailai patted the five-grade tonic on his chest and said confidently:

"As one of the few members of the Imperial Academy with a rank of fifth rank or above, and as the first deputy leader of the New Literary League, I am the first to speak even when the National Literary Conference is held!"

A bunch of Hanlin officials ranging from the fifth to the sixth grade: "."

Several old Hanlins who were in bad luck were so angry that they suffered internal injuries and couldn't beat them again and again, so they simply shut up and stopped talking.

After grabbing the microphone, Lin Tailai stopped teasing the seniors, lest he ruin his reputation of respecting the elderly and caring for the young.

Then began a speech about literary work:

"The field of literature covers many aspects. Today I will first talk about the changes in dominance of the literary world in the past 150 years.

From 150 to 100 years ago, the leading power in the literary world was in the literary world. Often the leaders of the literary circles were the leaders of the literary world. Representative figures include great scholars Yang Shiqi and Li Dongyang.

Later, with the rise of the Seven Scholars around the time of the Restoration, the dominance of the literary world gradually declined, from Guan Pai to Lang Shu.

Although the literary leaders Li Mengyang, Li Panlong, Wang Shizhen and others were officials, they were not ministers.

In recent years, the dominance of the literary world will continue to decline. The era of alliances and associations between literati is coming, and the dominance of the literary world will fall into the hands of various parties and societies! "

Lin Tailai looked at the sun while he was talking. He felt that the time was almost up, so he waved his hand and said:

"I have two other yamen to go to, so I'll stop here today!

If you find it helpful, you don’t need to thank me! Supporting the underachievers is what I, the first deputy leader of the literary world, should do! "

Hanlin really said with emotion from the bottom of his heart: "I really learned a lot from what Jiuyuan said, and the profound meaning in it was really shocking!"

Lin Tailai: "???"

It’s really baffling. What I said is so good? Is there any profound meaning?

But it’s reasonable for a star like himself to have a few crazy fans, right?

After finishing today's sense of existence, Lin Tailai hurriedly left the Hanlin Academy without any regrets.

Subsequently, a judgment about the future political situation spread from the Hanlin Academy to various yamen.

An anonymous Jiuyuan Hanlin made an extremely metaphorical analysis and pointed out at an internal meeting of the Hanlin Academy under the guise of the literary world -

In recent years, the political center has continued to sink, which is manifested in the emergence of a large number of party organizations with middle and low-level officials as the backbone. The future political arena will be an era of party organizations.

Lin Tailai, who left the Hanlin Academy, turned two corners and came to the Ministry of Rites first.

I don’t know why, but since I entered the gate, the expressions of the officials I encountered were not very good.

Although he dared not speak out in anger, he still glared angrily.

Lin Tailai didn't care. After all, the Ministry of Rites was also a place where people gathered. It was normal for many people to dislike him.

Entering the courtyard of the Host and Guest Department, I met Zhong Huamin, the new member of staff.

Although as a doctor, Lin Tailai did not like to have a foreign doctor, but the court system was such that Lin Tailai could not refuse.

When he was sent to the army, the host and guest department always needed a lieutenant to be in charge.

The two principals, Chen Yunjian and Shen Jue, were also there, and they were both true confidants from the same country.

It happened that there was no business at the moment, so the four officials from the well-equipped host and guest department sat in the main hall, drinking tea and chatting.

Lin Tailai pointed at Zhong Huamin and asked Chen Yunjian and Shen Jue:

"When I was hunting Xizhimen in the west and outside the Zhangjiakou barrier in the north, how did our new Yuanwailang behave? Did he break our rules?"

Zhong Huamin: "."

Did you ask this in front of me? Even if you want to ask, can't you do it in private?

Lin Tailai turned to Zhong Huamin and said, "I'm sorry, I'm quite upright. I like to be straightforward in everything I say and do."

Chief Chen Yunjian quickly comforted Zhong Huamin, "Don't worry. It's a good thing for Lord Jiuyuan to ask you this. It would be bad if dozens of big men surrounded you and asked you."

Another supervisor, Shen Jue, replied to Lin Tailai: "The performance is acceptable and he can be retained."

Zhong Huamin: "."

Should I be happy?

Lin Tailai laughed "haha", and the chat began to enter the boasting stage.

Zhong Yuanwailang lacked direct understanding of Lin Tailai's style, so he reminded him, "After returning to work, according to the rules, you should pay a visit to the minister."

Lin Tailai shouted: "This old man can't do anything and can't speak well. Why do you want to visit him?"

It feels so pity after saying this. If you have a cigarette in your hand, it would be more social to match this sentence.

My mouth felt a little dry as I spoke, and I wanted to ask the handyman to make hot tea. When I raised my head, I saw Yu Shenxing, the Minister of Rites, standing outside the door with a dark face.

Lin Tailai jumped up and went up to him and said, "Old Yu Shangshu! Uncle Da Zong! Why are you here at Xiaguan? If you have anything to do, just let Xiaguan pass by!"

Yu Shangshu's face turned even darker, and he said angrily: "I don't dare to bother you to come over and pay a visit, so I have no choice but to take the initiative to pay a visit to Mr. Lin."

Lin Tailai greeted: "Please take a seat! Serve you good tea!"

Yu Shangshu is really in trouble, "Because of your beating of the Jianzhou female straight envoy, the imperial court gave you an extra eight hundred taels of silver as a reward!"

The inner treasury refused to pay, saying that the mission was beaten by officials from the Ministry of Rites, and asked the Ministry of Rites to release the eight hundred taels!

In order to quickly raise money, the Ministry of Rites apportioned funds to each Lehu Courtyard through the Jiaofang Department. "

"Oh." Lin Tailai listened indifferently.

No wonder the officials in the ministry looked at him angrily. It turned out that he had emptied the welfare treasury of the Ministry of Rites.

But this is a public expense, what does it have to do with me?

In this era, the Jiaofang Division has always been the largest source of the Ministry of Rites' small treasury.

The superficially glamorous Ministry of Etiquette is also the entertainment industry’s biggest umbrella.

Sometimes, officials from the Ministry of Rites would personally patrol the alleys and sit down.

After the Jiaofangsi took over the big job of the Xungui family, they were afraid of encountering a tyrannical person, so they asked officials from the Ministry of Etiquette to escort him.

So when the Ministry of Etiquette needs money, it asks for it from the Jiaofang Secretary. Isn’t this very reasonable and normal?

Yu Shangshu said earnestly: "These 800 taels are a temporary increase, and Hu Tongyuan has a lot of resentment.

Therefore, in order to appease each family, the Jiaofang Secretary made a request to the headquarters.

Let the Nine-Yuan True Immortal, who has shocked the past and the present, and is the first deputy leader of the world's literary circles, go deep into the grassroots and inspect every Lehu alley for a month.

At the same time, we will provide support to the girls from each family who are assigned this time, and organize the selection of the new flowers in the capital. "

Lin Tailai: "."

I never imagined that a newcomer like me, who had only been in the court for a year, would have to bear so much.

"Can I not go?" Lin Tailai asked, "I have too many part-time jobs recently and I am a bit busy."

Yu Shangshu could not refuse and said: "This is an order! As a member of the Ministry of Rites, you must have the consciousness to sacrifice yourself!

Also, if you don’t go this time, the whole hospital will unite and refuse to receive you and your friends in the future! "

When facing superiors, Lin Tailai is a reasonable person most of the time. It's really unreasonable for me to do this, let alone openly defy orders.

After Yu Shangshu gave the order, he asked seemingly casually before leaving:

"Please explain, what does it mean to be unable to do anything? What does it mean to be unable to speak effectively?"

Lin Tailai replied: "Last year, the Ministry of Rites made a request to confer the title of Zhongshun Marquis to Buta, the son of Sanniang Zi, Mrs. Zhongshun of Beilu.

It has not been done until now, which makes Mrs. Zhongshun feel a little resentful towards me and Ming Dynasty. "

Yu Shangshu glanced at Lin Tailai with disdain. He was really generous to the country and only fulfilling his personal lust.

How could it be so easy to confer a marquis on Fanzi for no reason?

At the time of the Great Reconciliation, I said those brothers were just governors. I have been begging for a long time for my brother, but he has not been given a higher rank!

When Yu Shangshu went out and walked to the platform, he vaguely heard Lin Tailai boasting loudly in the room:

"When I was hunting in the north, I fully enjoyed the treatment of a grand master! I ate mutton every day, a big lamb loin every meal, and horse meat every five days!

It's really cool there. If the imperial court couldn't live without me and wanted to call me back, I wouldn't want to come back. "

Sitting in the Ministry of Rites until noon, Lin Tailai looked at the sky and left for the Ministry of Officials.

It's so hard for one person to hold three jobs.

Arriving at the Courtyard of the Examination Department, Lin Tailai strode into the left hall where Yuan Wailang was, and asked Yu Zhan:

"Have you completed the 'Deloitte Performance Integrity' regulations that I asked you to write?"

Yu Zhan took out a few manuscripts and handed them over.

After Lin Tailai accepted it, he went to the right hall and shouted to the chief Zhao Nanxing:

"I asked you to represent our department to submit a petition to restore the performance evaluation system. Did you do it?"

Zhao Nanxing raised his head and said proudly: "No! I don't accept random orders!"

Lin Tailai questioned: "Mischievous orders? So, you oppose my opinion?"

Zhao Nanxing hesitated for a moment and had no choice but to say: "You abuse your power to do whatever you want, of course I oppose it."

Lin Tailai was about to say something when a servant suddenly came over and shouted, "Right Hall, please come over, Mr. Lin!"

The so-called Right Hall is a nickname for the Right Assistant Minister in the Ministry.

Lin Tailai temporarily let Zhao Nanxing go and turned to visit Wang Yongji, the Right Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Personnel.

Wang Yongji was not in a good mood, "I am going to convene a ministry meeting to draft a list of nominees for the Minister of Personnel and the Left Assistant Minister."

Ministry meeting means a ministry meeting. The candidate lists of many senior officials are first brewed by the Ministry of Personnel.

The election method of the Minister of Personnel is basically the same as that of the cabinet elders.

It can be directly appointed by the emperor, symbolizing that the selection policy truly belongs to the emperor, and the Ministry of Personnel is just a proxy.

Alternatively, the Ministry of Personnel and the ministers can first propose a list in court, and then the emperor can select the person.

The Ministry of Personnel will draw up a list for the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, and then the list will be recommended in court and the result will be reported.

Of course, the surface procedure is generally like this. But in actual operation, the private alliances are the decisive factor.

For example, on the surface, the cabinet does not participate in the court recommendation at all in order to avoid suspicion.

But privately, if the cabinet is not communicated with first, what will the dissatisfied cabinet elders do when the result of the court recommendation reaches the cabinet?

Of course, the court recommendation is a later matter, and now is the stage of brewing the list within the Ministry of Personnel.

Hearing Wang Yongji say that the ministry meeting was convened, Lin Tailai thought for a while and responded: "I can't participate."

Wang Yongji asked puzzledly: "Why?"

Lin Tailai replied: "Because I haven't officially taken office yet, I am not qualified to participate in the ministry meeting."

Wang Yongji: "."

The imperial court has issued an order, and the license plate has been issued to you, and you come to the Ministry of Personnel for nothing!

So now you say that you haven't taken office yet?

Lin Tailai explained: "I haven't taken office yet. I haven't officially reported yet, and I haven't gone to the Office of the Secretary to handle internal procedures."

The normal ministerial meeting is for the Shangshu, the left and right assistant ministers, the Wenxuansi, and the Kaogongsi to sit together and discuss together.

It doesn't matter if one or two people are missing, anyone can be transferred without them.

But the Shangshu is missing, the Zuo Shilang is missing, the Kaogongsi is also missing, and the Wenxuansi is pretending to be sick at home. What's the point of holding a ministerial meeting!

Wang Yongji couldn't help but scolded: "You bastards! You just don't want to see the new Shangshu and Zuo Shilang take office!

What's the difference between you and Chen Younian of the Wenxuansi?"

Without the Shangshu and Zuo Shilang, these doctors can call themselves kings behind closed doors!

Lin Tailai hurriedly clarified: "I am for deepening reform and reducing constraints, and Chen Younian is for power and selfish desires! How can they be confused?"
