When Mr. Pang was in a state of confusion, he suddenly heard the old man shouting to the leading knight: "Don't be rude! The city gate is important for security, and it is appropriate to accept questioning."

Immediately, Mr. Pang saw the old man facing him again and said kindly: "Shi Xing, the left minister of my military department, went out of the city from Xizhimen to do business. There is absolutely nothing wrong with it."

Mr. Pang: ""

I don’t know what to say, so I’d better continue sitting down.

I only heard the Right Protector behind me say, "I was the one who made the mistake, and I respectfully send Young Master Shigong out of the city!"

Shi Shilang nodded and said nothing more. The cars and horses rustled, and the convoy left the city.

After all the dust that had been stirred up had cleared, Mr. Pang stood up in a daze and returned to Lin Tailai in a daze.

Lin Tailai scolded: "What a waste. You can't even do your job well. What's the use of you as a gatekeeper?"

Mr. Pang was once again a skilled Tuxia seater and threw himself into the dust: "Grandpa Lin! I want to go to Chongwenmen!"

Lin Tailai sneered: "It's easy to go to Chongwenmen, but you have to show your performance to impress me."

Mr. Pang said bitterly: "How can we perform here in Xizhimen?"

"Just do as I say!" Lin Tailai said, "I'll let you go to Chongwenmen next month!"

A few days later, Wai Lang Shen Yongmao, a member of the Ministry of War, traveled more than ten miles to Xizhimen to visit Lin Tailai.

At this time, Lin Tailai was sitting on the city gate, carefully instructing a certain beauty from the Western Courtyard of Jiaofang to write poems.

While touching the beauty up and down with his hands, he taught earnestly: "When you are in the capital, you should promote positive energy when writing poems and lyrics.

You might as well learn more about the Guange style that existed more than a hundred years ago, it will definitely make you stand out from many of your peers."

Seeing Uncle Shen coming up, Lin Tailai asked calmly: "How is the situation in the court these days?"

Shen Yongmao looked around, looking like he was about to speak but hesitated.

Lin Tailai patted the beauty and said, "Go down first! Otherwise, you may hear something you shouldn't hear and be killed!"

Pang Ba, who had been brought up by Shen Yong, heard these words and immediately wanted to slip away.

In the eyes of those giants, how much better can you be than the beauty of Jiaofangsi?

Lin Tailai stopped Boss Pang, "You can stay and listen, so that you can broaden your horizons and gain some knowledge!"

Shen Yongmaobian said: "The situation is a little different from what was expected. Among the three elders, Xu Guo, Wang Xijue and Wang Jiaping, the one who is in the most difficult situation now is Wang Xijue, not Xu Guo as expected."

"What a waste." Lin Tailai couldn't help cursing.

Mr. Pang, who had been called a waste by Lin Tailai several times, suddenly felt balanced in his heart. It turned out that he and Ge were treated in the same way.

Among the three "treacherous ministers", who Lin Tailai wants to step down the most is definitely his dearest teacher Xu Guo.

On the one hand, the conflict of interests between Lin Tailai and Mr. Xu is huge and irreconcilable. It is impossible for Lin Tailai to give up his salt industry interests anyway.

On the other hand, Teacher Xu's status as a teacher is a powerful constraint and a potential uncontrollable threat to Lin Tailai.

Lin Tailai did not hope that there would still be such factors that could restrict him in the court, so he definitely hoped that Teacher Xu would leave as soon as possible.

Only teachers who leave officialdom are the best teachers.

But the opportunity to deceive the master and destroy the ancestor and still be safe is really rare. It happened to appear this time, how could you let it go so easily?

Lin Tailai asked again: "How come Wang Xijue can't compete with Xu Guo?"

In terms of upper-level relations, Wang Xijue bowed to Shen Shoufu and gained the support of the chief minister and the support of most of the Suzhou Township Party. However, the township party behind Xu Guo was obviously not as good as Wang Xijue.

Talking about the past of his disciples, Wang Xijue was the examiner of the examination in the 11th year of Wanli, and his disciples have all achieved some success now.

And Xu Guo was just the examiner of last year's examination, and his disciples are still noobs.

So in a context similar to "Battle Royale", normally speaking, Xu Guo's situation must be worse than Wang Xijue's.

Shen Yongmao replied: "Some people criticize Wang Xijue as being from Suzhou, saying that it is inappropriate to have two people from Suzhou in the cabinet.

At the same time, many people from the Qingliu forces jumped out to support Xu Guo, which put Wang Xijue at a disadvantage."

All I can say is that no one is a fool.

In the past few years, Xu State had been fighting against the Qingliu forces in order to maintain the power of the cabinet. Xu State even wanted to ask the emperor to issue an edict prohibiting officials from criticizing cabinet elders at will.

But now, in addition to stabilizing Wang Jiaping, the Qingliu forces have also begun to covertly protect Xu State.

Lin Tailai couldn't help but criticize again: "Is your father okay? You can't even protect Wang Xijue, right?"

Pang Ba, who was forcibly left behind, couldn't help but feel frightened when he heard this!

In front of the chief minister's son, he accuses the chief minister of being useless. Isn't this the beginning of a fight? He won't be silenced, right?

But the chief minister's son seemed to be used to it and didn't take it seriously. He responded: "Probably deep in my father's heart, it doesn't matter who stays. It's impossible to do your best to protect others. It's not cost-effective!"

Lin Tailai sighed: "I didn't expect that I had only been guarding Xizhimen for a few days, and the situation in the court was about to get out of control again.

Please give me a list of the people who have criticized Wang Xijue in the past few days. Most of them should be from the Qingliu forces?"
