I am a temporary worker in Jinyiwei, how did I become a powerful official?

Chapter 101: Speaking for the world about things that cannot be spoken
Lin Shisan assigned the tasks and sat in front of Xuanjin Bridge.

Chen Ju brought a pot of wine and said, "Brother Lin, Doctor Zhao, it's cold at night. Have a drink to warm yourself up."

Doctor Zhao couldn't drink much. After drinking two cups, his face turned red.

He cursed under the influence of alcohol: "This group of idiot censors think they are the only ones in the world who are right and everyone else is wrong."

"Little did they know that they were just used as knives by some people!"

"Heh, someone in the cabinet owns 170,000 acres of land in his hometown, which is called half a city."

"There is also a certain prefecture in Nanzhili, nicknamed "Three No-Touch". No trouble, no good, and no stress."

"Oh, this governor who doesn't touch anything has a family fortune in copper. The copper mine in his hometown is called government-run, but who knows how much copper actually went into his pocket."

"These bastards are always claiming to be moral gentlemen. They call our Lord Yan a treacherous prime minister."

"What a bald man the monk is laughing at! He talks a lot about morality, but he only wants to make money."

"I just can't stand them being like this. Everyone knows that being an official is for making money. Why do they have to pretend to be saints?"

"There was only one true saint in the Ming Dynasty, Wang Shouren. He died a long time ago!"

Doctor Zhao was talking more and more out of line. Lin Shisan quickly interrupted him: "Okay, Doctor Zhao, let's not talk about those people anymore."

Doctor Zhao patted Lin Shisan on the shoulder and said, "Lin Chuanfeng, you have to look for the golden tortoise. If you find it, our Lord Yan and Lord Xiao will not mistreat you."

Let’s talk about the imperial prison in two different aspects.

Huang Jin is meeting Shen Lian in secret.

Huang Jin urged him, "My Shen has a good experience. Is it so difficult to write a letter to defend his loyalty?"

"You may not know that dozens of censors are deliberately stirring up political turmoil in the court by protecting you."

"Your Majesty has not been able to eat or sleep well these past few days. It's all because of the stone in your pit."

Shen Lian asked back: "Did those censors impeach Yan Song while protecting me?"

Huang Jin replied: "They did not impeach Yan Song."

Shen Lian's behavior at this time did not seem like that of a fool, but rather like that of a wise man: "Then their protection of me is false, and the realization of their own goals is true."

Huang Jin said: "I didn't expect you to be such a smart person. They used you to cause trouble just to put pressure on the Yan Party and to promote Xu Jie's student Wang Bengu to be the governor of Zhejiang."

Shen Lian asked Huang Jin: "Do you know why I want to report Yan Song?"

Huang Jin said: "Because you are a stubborn person."

Shen Lian said something that shocked Huang Jin: "You are wrong. I know that Yan Song is just a tool for the emperor to suppress the overbearing civil servants in the court."

"But if a tool is used for a long time, it will eventually become the master of the court."

"The Yan Party now controls four of the six ministries. More than half of the people in the two capitals and thirteen provinces are under their control."

"Yan Song's words carry the law of heaven, his actions stir the mountains and seas, and his breath turns into frost and dew. If this continues, will the Ming Dynasty be named Zhu or Yan?"

"The emperor thinks he can control everything, but once the snowball starts rolling, it will sooner or later lead to an avalanche. How can it be controlled by humans?"

"It doesn't matter that Yan Song is greedy for power and money. How many cabinet members in the Ming Dynasty didn't like money and power? But you have to work for the people!"

"Everything Yan Song did during his tenure was not for the benefit of the people. Instead, it was for the benefit of his Yan family."

"During the Gengxu Rebellion, why did Yan Song, as the Prime Minister, hide his head and say nothing? Because fighting against the Tatars did not benefit his Yan family in any way."

"At present, Yan Song advocates the Southeast Anti-Japanese War for the benefit of the Yan family. He advocates the opening of the sea ban for the benefit of the Yan family." "Xu Jie and his gang of old Jiangnan clans monopolized the huge profits of maritime trade. Yan Song was jealous, but he could not get involved. So he supported the anti-Japanese war and the opening of the sea, preparing to seize the interests of the old Jiangnan clans."

"I, Shen Lian, am not the only smart person in the court. Countless people have seen the situation clearly. But no one dares to point it out."

"Shen Lian is a humble person, I just want to remind the emperor. There are some things that you don't say, I don't say, and no one says. In the end, it will be the people who suffer!"

"Hengqu's four sentences are about establishing a mind for heaven and earth, establishing a destiny for the people, carrying on the lost knowledge of the past sages, and creating peace for all generations. I think one more sentence should be added."

"Speak for the world what cannot be spoken!"

Huang Jin was stunned by what Shen Lian said.

Huang Jin was a stupid and straightforward person who didn't know how to judge people. He originally thought that Shen Lian was just a drunkard with a stupid personality.

But after listening to his words today, Huang Jin realized that Shen Lian was not as simple as he thought.

However, Huang Jin still advised him: "You have already reminded the emperor. The emperor is wise and intelligent, and he will surely understand what you have reported."

"You have achieved your goal. You should at least give the emperor a way out, right?"

Shen Lian said, "Only blood can awaken the world. I, Shen Lian, have decided to die and use my blood to make the world aware of the evil nature of the Yan family. I will never give in."

"If I give in, who will dare to speak the truth in the court from now on?"

Huang Jin sighed: "Alas! You are really a number one douchebag. No, a warrior."

"Originally, I was begging the emperor to send you to Baoan to farm, and let you be beaten with a small stick and then go."

"It seems that my efforts have been in vain. Well, take care of yourself. Goodbye."

Shen Lian was not a person who didn't know what was good for him. He knew that the eunuch Huang in front of him was doing this for his own good.

Shen Lian bowed his hand towards Huang Jin and said, "Shen Lian thanks Eunuch Huang for your kindness, but I cannot accept it. Goodbye."

Huang Jin walked out of the prison door disappointedly. He thought to himself: You, Shen Lian, want to be a loyal minister who is ready to die. But how many people may be implicated and die together with you? For example, the nephew that my second senior brother just accepted
The sky was turning pale, and it was almost dawn.

Next to Xuanjin Bridge.

The Han generals found Lin Shisan one after another and reported: "No golden turtles were found in the third section of Tongzi River."

“No golden turtles were found in the sixth river section.”

“No golden turtles were found in the eleventh river section.”

“No golden turtles were found in the 36th river section.”

Half an hour later, all fifty groups of generals reported back. They had already followed Lin Shisan's previous arrangements and searched the entire Tongzi River. Where was the shadow of the golden turtle?
After staying up all night, Lin Shisan felt dizzy, his legs went limp, and he almost fainted.

Fortunately, Chen Ju was quick to act and supported him.

Doctor Zhao said, "It seems that the golden tortoise did not escape into the Tongzi River. It must have entered the Gaoliang River!"

Lin Shisan took a deep breath and said, "If it is in the sixteen tributaries of the Gaoliang River in Beijing, it would not take a hundred people to find it, but thousands or even tens of thousands of people!"

Doctor Zhao complained: "If we want to mobilize tens of thousands of soldiers, it is not enough to just get the nod from Eunuch Huang and Commander Lu. The Cabinet, the Ministry of War, the Imperial Household Department, and the Imperial Horse Administration must jointly submit a petition to the Emperor. The Emperor agrees and orders the Ministry of War to mobilize the troops."

"If a golden tortoise is lost, the censors will be in a big fuss. If tens of thousands of soldiers are mobilized without a war, they will tear the roof of Yongshou Palace apart!"

Lin Shisan said, "How about this. Let's go to your Du Shui Si first and check the river basin map in Beijing. We can estimate how many people are needed first, and then make plans."
