Chapter 287 The Benefits of Keeping a Low Profile

National teacher, Tai Bao!
Such an appointment was made directly from a third-rank military officer, and it was still in the Song Dynasty, which always emphasized civility over military affairs. Such a leap is simply inconceivable.

Yang Jian, who was writing the imperial edict over there, couldn't help shaking his hands a little, and when he turned his head to look at Lin Shuhang quietly, his eyes couldn't help showing a little more intimacy.

As the most favored eunuch by Huizong's side, the so-called six thieves of the Northern Song Dynasty were just juniors in front of him, but they seemed powerful when they hugged each other for warmth. The old man is playing...

After Song Huizong finished drawing up the decree, when he turned to look at Lin Shuhang, he was afraid that the other party might be dissatisfied, and asked again: "I know the Lin family's loyalty, but I haven't heard of the Lin family's name for a long time these years. It's my fault, sir, please don't refuse this belated award."

Seeing Lin Shuhang smiling and nodding his head, Song Huizong felt as if a big stone had fallen from his heart, and he said beamingly: "Now that you are a national teacher and Taibao, you have to go to the palace more often, so that I can often listen to the teachings and get enlightened as soon as possible. If one day in the future, you and my monarchs and ministers all ascend in the daylight, it will be a good story that will be passed down through the ages."

Lin Shuhang said: "As a national teacher, I have to share my worries for Your Majesty. Since Your Majesty has the determination to let the prince supervise the country's regent, and stop worrying about ordinary things on weekdays, you should start taking the Soaring Ascension Pill for Calm Mind and Spirit. Moderation is required, after all, as long as you are in this mundane world, you will have mundane troubles, you can take one pill a month, and I will teach your Majesty a set of immortal cultivation techniques, practice diligently, and after half a year in October, the immortals will be immortal. Only by achieving success can we increase the number of pills we take, so step by step, immortality can be expected!"

Song Huizong was overjoyed when he heard that in addition to the elixir, there was also a supporting technique for cultivating immortals, and he deeply felt that the decision he made today was extremely wise and correct.

What's so good about the country and the country and power struggle?In the end, it is still just a cup of loess, but only by cultivating immortals and gods, ascending in the daytime, and achieving the supreme way of longevity, that is the joy of eternal life, and can appreciate all the real beauty in this world, and have the opportunity to write like Mr. Ordinary Xuan Ke's penetrating words are far better than his skinny golden body with cat's paws and dog paws!

Immediately, he couldn't wait to screen Zhao Heng and Yang Jian back. What are they?The two ordinary people, who saw the unparalleled divine characters in their own light, are already the blessings of their eight lifetimes of cultivation, and they are also worthy of listening to this art of cultivating immortals?

The Lin family's immortal cultivation skills have been well-known by the royal family for a long time. After the hat demon case, Song Zhenzong has always been obsessed with it, and often sidestepped Lin Te, who was already the prime minister.

But Lint is an ordinary person. He hasn't learned the classics left by Lin Shuhang himself, so where can he teach the emperor?

Of course, he can also just use the secret books left by Lin Shuhang to communicate, but if the emperor can't understand, ask you "64 hexagrams can be solved", do you understand or not?
However, Lin Te had no choice but to resign and go to Maoshan to avoid the limelight. Although he died in the end, the descendants of the Lin family did not occupy high positions in the Northern Song Dynasty. But it’s still okay not to give you a promotion... So much so that when it was passed on to Lin Chong’s father, it was just a small governor of Kaifeng Mansion, that is, the director of the street police station, and Lin Chong hadn’t worshiped Zhou Tong as his teacher. , with the honor of his master, I am afraid that he will not be able to be appointed as the trainer of the Third Division.

Therefore, in the royal family of the Northern Song Dynasty, the Lin family's cultivation skills have always been on their minds, and now they are almost forgotten, but they are taught by the Lin family on their own initiative. Isn't this satisfying and comforting the ancestors?
What else is there to say?The art of cultivating immortals or something...

study!Definitely learn from the dead!
Elixir or something...

eat!Must eat to death!
If he doesn't produce an immortal emperor, Zhao Ji will be regarded as ashamed of his ancestors in his life, and his life will be in vain!

…………

Of course, it is impossible to really teach the so-called skills of cultivating immortals. It will take years and months to get down step by step. What Lin Shuhang taught is just a set of small Zhou Tianxin methods.

In addition to refining qi, what's more important is that Xiao Zhoutian Xinfa's interpretation of Fuxi's 64 hexagrams is quite nuanced. If you understand the principles, you will naturally be able to understand everything.

Song Huizong was actually not bad in his bones, he could even be said to be a little kind. The reason why he became a faint king who harmed China and the common people was only because he was deep in the palace all the year round and knew nothing about outside affairs. Traitors like Tong Guan, Yang Jian, and Cai Jing were just fooled.

To put it bluntly, even though he is about to grow a beard, he is actually a child at heart, as innocent as a piece of paper.

Such a pampered person like him, how would he know how many people's blood was stained on the granite sent by the officials?How do you know the various evil deeds that Cai Jing, Tong Guan and others have committed among the people?

Learning the truth is the most important thing for him to do now. After the task is completed and he leaves, what will be left to Da Song, apart from the trauma after the war, at least there will be no more two muddle-headed people who are confused about civil affairs. The foolish lord of water.

Anyway, let's help Da Song to continue his good luck for a few more years, and also help the Lin family find a stable environment for development.

When Lin Shuhang came out of the imperial garden, Yang Jian and Zhao Heng were waiting outside the garden.

"Sir!" Zhao Heng had already come to meet him from a long distance, his face was beaming. When he improvised to confess Lin Chong this morning, he never thought it would be so smooth.

After all, he has always been well aware of his father's temperament and preferences, he likes all kinds of elegant people, but he has always dismissed warriors, so when Lin Chong asked him to find someone else to offer pills that day, Zhao Heng felt that it was the best The method, after all, Lin Chong is a regiment training envoy and the instructor of the 80 forbidden army. I am afraid that his father will dislike his identity alone, but he did not expect...

Yang Jian next to him also came over with a smile on his face.

Now in the Great Song Dynasty, Tong Guan and Cai Jing are colluding together, together with Liang Shicheng, Wang Fu, Zhu Dong, and even Li Yan who was originally his Yang Jian's disciple. Old man, but in fact, the entire Kaifeng people and officials have already reached the point where they only know that there are six thieves but not Yang Jian.

He also has to be in a group... And looking at the emperor's attitude towards Lin Chong today, and considering that this person was originally recommended by Zhao Heng, and now that Zhao Heng has been appointed as the prince to supervise the country, there is no doubt that this person will definitely He will be the next most powerful minister in the Northern Song Dynasty!He and others can no longer be called hugging groups, but should be called hugging thighs!

And since it is hugging the thighs, of course there should be a gesture of hugging the thighs. You have to offer some kind of gift first. He said with a smile on his face: "Just now I heard His Royal Highness said that the national teacher is still living on the side of Junyi Street. How can such a noisy place be worthy of the status of a national teacher? Just a few days ago, the old slave built a new house in Donghuamen, which occupies a large area, and there are all kinds of slaves and maidservants in it. , isn’t it a coincidence? It happened to be given to the national teacher as a gift to congratulate the national teacher on his promotion!”

Lin Shuhang glanced at the obsequious old guy and smiled slightly.

Yang Jian was a very good person during Huizong's reign. He was born as an eunuch, and he was very good at grasping Huizong's mind. Corruption, perverting the law, and doing all kinds of evil are enough to be called the tragedy of the Northern Song Dynasty.

But the difference from the six thieves in the Northern Song Dynasty is that most of the six thieves were greedy for the treasury. For example, Tong Guan was paid by the army in the Northern Song Dynasty, but this Yang Jian was searching for the fat and anointing of the people, and the harm to the court was not superficial. There are relatively few people, but the evil to the people is even more so.

Such a guy, can he accept bribes?
Of course you can’t accept it, let’s not talk about the original intention, just talk about the mission, my mission is to lead the Northern Song Dynasty to fight against the gold, first get mixed up with this corrupt official who seeks the people’s fat and anointing, it is unknown how much benefit I will get, but losing the people’s support is inevitable of.

If the reputation is bad, what can be done?Can you still train a truly invincible elite soldier?It's not going to work, really let yourself carry a big sword to kill the golden soldiers alone with one enemy one hundred thousand, right?I can't finish cutting myself even if I'm exhausted...

However, before killing the six thieves in the Northern Song Dynasty and completely controlling the court, Yang Jian can still be regarded as a very useful pawn. The anger of the remaining party of the six thieves, so balanced left and right, should be the fastest way to stabilize the political situation after killing the thieves, so as to free up more time for dealing with Jin Guo's southward movement.

Therefore, he can't be allowed to have a second heart, so whether he accepts it or not, there will be a lot of tricks in it.

"Since it was given by the father-in-law, is there any reason not to obey it?" Lin Shuhang said with a smile: "In this case, Lin will thank you in advance. The father-in-law is well-known among the civil servants of the court. In the future, he will be an official in the same dynasty, and he will have to rely on his father-in-law. There are still many places, and there will be a reply in the future, and the father-in-law cannot refuse."

As he spoke, Lin Shuhang gave Zhao Heng a wink.

Zhao Heng understood, and said with a smile next to him: "Eunuch Yang is the pillar of the country. Now that I have to supervise the country, it will inevitably shake the interests of many people. It may not be stable down here, so I need a lot of support and assistance from Eunuch Yang in the court. Only by being twisted together can we fight against some stubborn forces in the court, make the government orders understandable, and relieve father and emperor's worries."

Yang Jian was overjoyed when he heard the words.

One of these two is the crown prince and the other is the teacher of His Majesty. When the court is the national teacher and the Taibao, the future is limitless. Now that they are singing and singing, they already have the intention of pulling themselves into the gang. Holding the thighs of these two is no better than Tong Guan Cai Jing's gang The mob is a hundred times stronger?
The crown prince even directly mentioned the stubborn forces, isn't that referring to Tong Guan Cai Jing and others!
This group of people is controlling both internally and externally, and they have increasingly disregarded him. This time, they wanted to win over this newly promoted national teacher. They intended to form a group and fight against each other, but the other party made it clear first. It was so natural. Better, everyone tacitly.

"Don't worry, the crown prince, rest assured the national teacher! The crown prince is personally appointed by His Majesty, and the subordinate officials will naturally support it with all their strength. If the crown prince points to the east, we will fight the east. How dare we have two minds!"

Lin Shuhang smiled and nodded, and then said: "Eunuch Yang is not suitable to announce the title of national teacher and the position of crown prince. After all, the decree has not yet been implemented, and it may cause people's reputation. If the political opponents are allowed to take precautions in advance and cause extra trouble, so That house is also hidden for Lin for the time being. If he accepts a heavy gift before he takes office, and it is a gift from his subtle father-in-law, then I am afraid that it will make people famous and return the title, which will miss the big deal. The most important thing is that it will not be too late for Lin to accept the father-in-law's gift on the day the edict is issued."

In the era of the Northern Song Dynasty, don't talk about appointing an official, it is just a random imperial decree, and it is not something that the emperor can execute immediately when he opens his mouth.

Oral drafting is only the first step, and then it will be handed over to Zhongshu Sheren of Zhongshu Province to go through the drafting process. If Zhongshu Sheren thinks that this "edict" is illegal, even if it comes from the emperor's will, he can not give it You draw up the decree and refute it back, which is called "returning the head of the word". The emperor must either give up or fire him, and find another obedient person to write it, otherwise there is really no other way.

For example, during the reign of Shenzong, Wang Anshi wanted to promote Li Ding, a close friend, and the emperor agreed, and issued an imperial edict in person, but at that time, the people of Zhongshushe thought that Li Ding's reputation was too bad, so they refused to draft it. As a result, three Zhongshushe were replaced one after another. However, he was "sealed and returned to the head" three times, and it was delayed for several months. It was not until the fourth time that he was replaced by Zhongshu Sheren that the edict was written...

This is called "Cici", and it has only passed the first hurdle. After that, senior officials of Zhongshu will need to sign and verify it. Shizhong', that is, the inspection of the Fengfusi before Yuanfeng's restructuring, is called "shudu", so it is the third level.

Each of these three levels has the power to directly refute the emperor's imperial decree, and only after passing all of them can it be handed over to the Ministry of Finance for publication.

Therefore, whether it is the position of the national teacher or the position of the prince, although it was sealed by Song Huizong himself, whether it will come down in a day or two, or it will take a month or two or even longer, this means It's not allowed.

Yang Jian knew these procedures, and he was slightly startled when he heard the words, thinking that now Chaozhong Zhongshu Sheren, Gishizhong, and Zhongshu Sheng are all in the same group as Tong Guan Cai Jing. If he accepted Yang Jian's gift before taking office, how could he not know that the two of them had already gotten together?Isn't that giving them a powerful enemy?At that time, all kinds of prevarications and obstructions will be blocked, and the title will be sealed. Then it may not be easy for him, the National Teacher and Taibao, to take office smoothly.

Yang Jian understood, and then laughed loudly: "Yes, yes, the national teacher... Ah, no, what Master Lin said is very true, as it should be, it is reckless to be an official!"

Lin Shuhang smiled and said: "Eunuch Yang, why do you need to be so self-effacing, you and I are both people who serve His Majesty and His Royal Highness loyally, there is no difference between the upper and lower, not to mention that Lin is just a mere trainee from the third rank, how can he be worthy of it?" Calling Eunuch Yang an 'adult'? From now on, neither of us need to be so polite!"

"Haha, brother Lin is quick to talk, so it's disrespectful! If there is anything going on in the future, let someone come to the palace to inform you at any time, Yang will not be dedicated!"

"Speaking of which, there is really an important matter right now, and I want to ask my father-in-law for help."

"But it doesn't matter!"

Lin Shuhang smiled slightly, and whispered in Yang Jian's ear, only to hear Yang Jian's eyes suddenly light up: "Brother Lin is really a person who does great things, and he planned it before the rain... This is easy, Brother Lin just let it go and do it later." When you need me, Yang will definitely appear in the most appropriate place!"

Zhao Heng next to him glanced at Lin Shuhang, and the three of them looked at each other, and they all burst out laughing tacitly.

So as a human being, it's better to be low-key... because the first benefit of being low-key is that it can deceive people!
