Chapter 483 The First Time in Court

After the court hearing in the east room outside the Meridian Gate was over, the ministers walked out in twos and threes.

It was not yet noon, and the ministers were too embarrassed to go home directly, so they had to go sit in their respective government offices.

Among the ministers, ministers, and ministers who came to participate in the court trial, Lin Tailai must be the most familiar with Wang Zhiyuan, the minister of household affairs, so he naturally went with Wang Situ.

"This is my first time attending a court meeting." Lin Tailai suddenly said on the way.

Wang Situ was in a daze. Actually, if he thought about it carefully, today seemed to be brother-in-law Lin's first time?

But he didn't realize this at all just now, not just him, it seemed that everyone didn't realize it.

For some reason, everyone seemed to feel that Lin Tailai had attended many court meetings.

If Wang Situ also knew the terminology of hundreds of years later, he would know that this phenomenon is called the Mandela Effect.

Perhaps it was because of the previous court meetings. Although Lin Tailai's physical body was not present, his spiritual consciousness was attached to small pieces of paper and other items, and was strongly projected into the venue, leaving a profound psychological imprint on everyone. .

I also heard Lin Tailai complain: "As a newcomer, participating in the court meeting for the first time, I was very nervous and worried.

But Brother Wang, you won’t help me, a newcomer, so you just watch me being bullied by others? "

Wang Situ retorted: "In the Dongchao room just now, you were the one speaking six-tenths of the time. How can you help me speak for you?"

Also, brother-in-law Lin, where are you nervous and worried? You said you're a newcomer, but you don't even pretend!

Lin Tailai generously forgave Wang Situ, "Forget it today, after all, it is the first time, and it is understandable that we are unfamiliar with each other.

When we attend court meetings together in the future, Brother Wang will look at me more often! "

Wang Situ: ""

When brother-in-law Lin summoned Wang Xiangmeng, he, the head of the Wang family, did not speak. Later, when he summoned Wang Xiangqian, he still remained silent.

Today, brother-in-law Lin began to want to help him, but no one in the Wang family could help him!

Just as he walked out of Chengtian Gate, someone suddenly called from behind: "Lin Jiuyuan, please stay!"

Lin Tailai seemed to be taboo about something and did not dare to stop, but said to Wang Situ: "Brother, look back for me, who is calling the ghost?"

Wang Situ looked back and said, "It's Yang Tianguan!"

Yang Wei, the Minister of Civil Affairs, is the oldest person in the court today. He is over 70 years old this year. Lin Tailai cannot be too rude and can only stop and wait.

After Yang Tianguan caught up, he said, "Lin Jiuyuan will write the memorial for today's court trial, right?"

The old Heavenly Official was also very upset. A court trial that was going well turned into a seminar on "Jin Ping Mei". How to write this memorial? Do you talk about "Jin Ping Mei" in the memorial?

Lin Tailai pretended to be surprised and declined, saying, "Isn't this inappropriate? The court trial is presided over by Mr. Yang, the head of the foreign dynasty. How can I write a memorial?"

This meaning is also very clear. Cleaning the land is a matter between you and the cabinet, and Lin Tailai only kills and does not bury him!

Yang Tianguan reasoned again: "Although I am in charge of the court trial, you are the one doing the talking 80% of the time. If you don't write the memorial, who will?"

Lin Tailai said very humbly: "There are not that many. My speech accounted for less than 80%, only 60%."

Only? Yang Tianguan was choked immediately, and after a moment he said without any doubt: "That's it, Zhang Shu, you will write the pen, and the report will be presented tomorrow!

And no matter whether you write it or not, I definitely won’t write it anyway! "

After the old Tianguan finished speaking, he waved his sleeves and left without waiting for Lin Tai to reply.

Although no official memorial has been reported today, the complete situation of the trial of Luo Yuren has been reported to the cabinet and palace.

After all, those people from Jinyiwei Official School and Zhongshushe who were watching were not blind or deaf.

After the Dongchao room dispersed, the cabinet collectively fell silent after receiving the results of the court trial.

I originally thought that the political arena would be in turmoil again, and all parties would start various games around Luo Yuren and his memorial.

The emperor will not give up, nor will some ministers, and some ministers will fish in troubled waters.

In order to put out the fire, the cabinet has prepared several plans and is waiting to be used depending on the situation.

The result was all in vain, and the serious political atmosphere was completely ruined by a copy of "Jin Ping Mei".

Wang Suge's old Xijue glanced at Wang Sige's home screen and said with something in mind: "You are so smart that you are misled by your cleverness."

Originally, everyone was trying to persuade the emperor to keep the memorial quiet and put the matter to rest. Only you, Wang Si, wanted to add fuel to the fire and proposed a public trial.

Does it feel really cool now? Still want to create a god and canonize him? Cool down immediately!

Shen Shixing had no time to ridicule Wang Jiaping at the moment, and carefully thought about how to deal with the aftermath. He thinks more than most because of his position.

For example, before, his main consideration was how to appease the emperor, but now he has to consider how to hold on to the emperor's endless worries. This is the fate of the first assistant.

At the same time, Shen Shixing has been waiting for the "Guan Bai" from Yang Wei, the Minister of Civil Affairs.

When the cabinet was not strong, all ministries would submit their reports directly without greeting the cabinet in advance.

Later, after the power of the cabinet was expanded, on some important matters, the Sixth Ministry often had to shut down the cabinet in private before formally reporting them.

For example, today's important court trial should theoretically be reported by Yang Wei, the Minister of Civil Affairs.

However, according to the rules, before the formal report tomorrow, Yang Wei should communicate with the chief assistant in private today to determine the caliber before formally reporting.

However, Prime Minister Shen waited until the afternoon, but still did not receive Yang Wei's comment, which made him wonder. Could it be that Yang Wei, a man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, also had other intentions?

So Prime Minister Shen sent the Secretary of the Central Secretariat to the Ministry of Personnel to ask Yang Wei directly.

Half an hour later, the Secretary of the Central Secretariat came back and reported: "Yang Tianguan said that the memorial had been written by Lin Jiuyuan, and it had nothing to do with him."

"Playing nonsense!" Prime Minister Shen couldn't help but curse. How could such an important memorial be written by Lin Tailai?

The most important thing is that Lin Tailai is also half a party involved in the memorial. How can the party be allowed to write the memorial himself? Does Yang Wei still have any principles?

At this time, the eunuch Chen Ju appeared in the cabinet, and Shen Shixing asked: "Does the emperor have any orders?" Chen Ju said expressionlessly: "The emperor will go to Wenhua Hall tomorrow to listen to the report of Luo Yuren in person, and all the ministers who participated in the trial will go to the hall to see the emperor." Shen Shixing: "" The sun really rises from the west, and the emperor actually took the initiative to hold a small court meeting! When Shen Shoufu was summoned to Yude Palace yesterday, he was still thinking that the emperor was getting lazier and didn't even want to go to Wenhua Hall. But he didn't expect that the emperor would go to Wenhua Hall soon, but Shen Shoufu, who had always advocated peace, would rather the emperor not go to the hall this time. The heart of a man who likes to have fun is known to passers-by. Even across the three halls and Qianqing Gate, Shen Shoufu seemed to be able to hear the "ha ha ha" laughter coming from Yude Palace. However, after yesterday, tomorrow I will be able to see the most beloved emperor again. The number of times I have met the emperor in these three days can catch up with the total number of times I have met the emperor in the previous six months. After getting home from work, Shen Shixing asked his eldest son Shen Yongmao to go to the Lin Mansion in person. "Is there something?" Lin Tailai didn't even put down the pen in his hand, saying that he was very busy tonight and had no time to chat. Shen Yongmao answered seriously: "I came here to guide you on the orders of my father and teach you how to become a mature court official." Lin Tailai said concisely: "Speak some human words." Shen Yongmao replied again: "Before submitting the memorial, you must first report the contents of the memorial to the cabinet chief minister." "I know, I will definitely do it next time! Send you away!" Lin Tailai continued to write quickly with his head down. The next day, the morning sun still rose from the east, and the five clouds on the Five Phoenix Tower were new. The ministers were waiting for their turn outside the Wenhua Hall again, and they couldn't help but feel as if they were in another world. After the first court meeting, Lin Jiuyuan Tailai will have his first court meeting.

There are many types of court meetings. Today's meeting is a regular court meeting, which is a small court meeting with limited participants.

As for the large-scale and tiring court meetings, such as the morning court meeting, the ministers no longer expect to have them.

The emperor took the throne, the ministers walked into the hall, and then cheered. Everything was so familiar and strange.

After the ceremony, as the writer of the memorial, the representative of the Hanlin Academy, Lin Tailai, held the memorial and read expressionlessly:

"After textual research and comparison, Luo Yuren's "Wine, Sex, Money and Anger" imitated "Jin Ping Mei". The censor Qian Yiben and others also expressed their approval of this yesterday."

Lin Tailai believed that the memorial was completely true, without exaggeration or fabrication, and his discussion of yesterday's court trial was very objective.

The people around him were speechless. Qian Yiben did say something like "Even if Luo Yuren's memorial is similar to Jin Ping Mei" yesterday, but it was just angry words. Can you use it?

Finally, Lin Tailai gave a conclusion: "No matter what Luo Yuren thought in his heart, since there was a fact of imitating "Jin Ping Mei", in the eyes of others, it must be believed that the emperor was maliciously ridiculed by Luo Yuren."

Due to some taboos for the respected, Lin Tailai could not directly write "Luo Yuren mistook the emperor for Ximen Qing" in the official document, and could only hint vaguely, but those who understand will understand.

Bang! Suddenly, a muffled sound came from the throne. Emperor Wanli slapped the armrest fiercely, raised his mouth corners but forced his face to twist and said:

"I am very angry! I am very sad! How can there be such a minister? You tell me, what should I do?"

For the emperor, acting skills in terms of expression are nothing. Anyway, the ministers cannot look up at the emperor, and generally cannot see the emperor's expression.

According to the normal routine, at this time, the colleagues should jump out to rescue Luo Yuren.

During the rescue process, there was a fierce confrontation with the emperor, and it ended with being beaten with a stick in the court and sent to prison.

But today, colleagues really can't protect Luo Yuren. As soon as he opens his mouth, he will be smeared by "Jin Ping Mei".

But the Qingliu forces who regard themselves as righteous in their hearts will never lack the courage to express their opinions.

Immediately, several censors came out in unison and reported to the emperor together: "We have something to report!"

This situation made other ministers very strange. Is there really such a stubborn person in the world who dares to challenge Lin Tailai?

These people seem to be fighting for the foundation of the country? Emperor Wanli asked expectantly: "Do you want to defend Luo Yuren?"

The senior leader, the censor He Zhuo, said: "Your ministers He Zhuo, Zhong Huamin, Wang Shende, Zhong Yuzheng, Shu Hongxu, etc., hereby jointly request that "Jin Ping Mei" be banned!"

The other ministers: "???"

You can't deal with Lin Tailai, so you go to deal with "Jin Ping Mei"? What kind of clear-headed thinking is this.

Emperor Wanli was immediately disappointed. This proposal is really meaningless.

At this time, Lin Tailai asked several censors: "May I ask you, what is the meaning of banning this book?"

He Zhuo replied righteously: "The meaning of a banned book is that it is forbidden to be published and distributed, it is forbidden to discuss it publicly in the court, and it is forbidden to conduct public research and discussion!"

To other people's ears, this actually means: Lin Tailai is not allowed to mention "Jin Ping Mei" in the court, Lin Tailai is not allowed to abuse "Jin Ping Mei" to stigmatize the Qingliu forces, and Lin Tailai is not allowed to use "Jin" to learn The name of expert is flaunted.

But to be honest, even Lin Tailai, an "expert", could not oppose the banning of "The Plum in the Golden Ping".

But for Lin Tailai, he doesn't have to use "Jin Ping Mei" as a weapon, but he can't let others think that the weapon in his hand was knocked out by the enemy!

You can't lose your face by going out to hang out!

So after Lin Tailai thought about it for a while, he said with great emotion: "Ever since he was a young man, the emperor has been focused on sacred knowledge, and since then he has been busy with everything. In his spare time, he only browses the teachings of his ancestors. He must have never read anything like "Jin Ping Mei". Miscellaneous books.”

Everyone: "???"

Are you talking about the emperor? Is this the emperor who is sitting on the throne now?

Emperor Wanli was also stunned. What do you, Lin Tailai, mean by these words? Are you looking down on my reading volume?

But from the abnormal words, there was a hint of fun.

Lin Tailai turned to several officials and continued: "No matter what, as a minister, you cannot let your majesty make decisions when you are confused and completely ignorant!

Since you petitioned to make "Jin Ping Mei" a banned book, you have the obligation to let His Majesty understand the nature of this book and why it is banned! "

Damn it! The quick-reacting people in the palace have already sensed the murderous intention!

Lin Tailai reported to Emperor Wanli: "Therefore, I would like to ask He Zhuo and other co-signed officials to come forward. First, explain the book "Jin Ping Mei" to His Majesty in detail, so that the Sutra banquet can be reopened for this purpose.

Second, let them present the book "Jin Ping Mei" to His Majesty for his royal reading and understanding of the situation! "

He Zhuo: ""

Damn it! Lin Tailai, you bastard who doesn't want to die well, you have a rotten heart!

Presenting "Jin Ping Mei" to His Majesty and then explaining it in detail, is this something Qingliu can do?

As long as you do it, you will be nailed to the pillar of shame! Later generations will only record you telling the emperor "Jin Ping Mei", and will not care about your special reasons!

Poof! I don't know which of the officials, the Supervisor of Ceremonies, misbehaved in front of the king and laughed out loud.

Hearing is false and seeing is believing. Lin Tailai is so cunning that this situation can be reversed.

Emperor Wanli also woke up and said humbly: "Lin Tailai's words make sense. I have never heard of this book, and I don't know who Ximen Qing, Pan Jinlian, Li Ping'er and Chunmei are.

Therefore, I am really confused and do not understand your profound meaning. I need to be taught and explained in detail. "

Maybe the topics will be boring, maybe going to court will be boring, but Lin Tailai will never disappoint.
