Life of the characters

Three trips to the North

When Lin Dachun was three or four years old, he could not speak and was very weak. But the talent is quite high. If you grow up a little bit, you will be able to export the written language. In 1540 (the 19th year of Jiajing reign of the Ming Dynasty), he participated in the examination as a doctoral student and was awarded "higher education". In 1543 (the 22nd year of Jiajing reign of the Ming Dynasty), Lin Dachun got the "different grade" in the government examination and was called to set up the Wujing hall to make friends with the famous people in Lingnan. To the provincial examination, "every time I tried, I was honored with many scholars, and many scholars also thought that they would be able to reach the goal of" receiving tribute from their hometown ". However, in the spring of Yue Nian, he failed to take the exam in Beijing. Three years later, he failed to take the exam in Beijing again. He was disheartened. He and his best friend Chen Zonglu secretly built the Mingying Pavilion in the north of the city to explore the purpose of life. In 1550 (the 29th year of Jiajing reign of Ming Dynasty), Lin Dachun went north for the third time. During the court examination, the officials who divided the reading papers all admonished Zhang Kan to "get the wonderful articles" and recommended them to Yan Song. Yan Song was also highly praised, but he thought that his style was similar to that of Han Dynasty, and he did not dare to recommend it to the emperor. Although Lin Dachun only got the top three Jinshi, he was "famous in the imperial court and made friends with all the celebrities in the country". According to reports, Lin Dachun, Zhang Shi and Qian Youwei are known as the "three heroes of the Ministry". Zhang Shi was "generous and easy to talk about side affairs, but he was not conceited by Huaiyin (Han Xin); Qian Youwei was" skillful and learned, had no choice but to live in the capital "; and Lin Dachun was" isolated, not righteous and not tolerant ". For this reason, colleagues evaluated the three heroes by "Ren", "he" and "Qing".

Career twists and turns

In the period of Lin Dachun's being awarded the top three Jinshi, Yan Songzheng "held the handle of the article, and those who were less advanced and had the name of the article were all attracted by his family.". For this reason, he once asked his son and his disciples to lobby Lin Dachun to write notes for Yan Song. Lin Dachun categorically "expresses his words with illness". Later, Yan Song sent someone to suggest Lin Dachun that "the Ministry of officials selected new Jinshi to Zhongshu Zhige", which was the first name of Lin Dachun. Lin Dachun "can't say goodbye again". As a result, he was only taught to serve as an envoy to Shaanxi and Gansu. Lin Dachun met with the bugong envoy Kong Tianyin in Xianyang on his way to the Qin Dynasty and became a close friend. Soon after, he and Qiu He, a member of Qingzhou, went on a mission together, traversing the pass, passing Lingwu, and arriving at Helan Mountain. He had a good view of the western frontier, and sighed with emotion about the relaxation of the frontier. Dachun was clean and refused to accept the "ghost of gold and silk". Then Lin Dachun sent an envoy to QUANNAN (now Quanzhou) to go to Qingyuan to bury the late minister Zhang Yue, but he refused to accept "money from the minister's family". At the end of the emperor's life, he was named digonglang. In 1556 (the 35th year of Jiajing reign of the Ming Dynasty), he was elected as a censor, or as an official in the middle of affairs or as an official in remonstrance. It happens that this year is the year when the local officials are assessed once every three years, which is called "grand plan". During this period, some officials impeached Chaoyang order, Putian people Huang xiutai. Huang suspected that Lin Dachun had done it, that is, he slandered Lin Dachun to his fellow villagers. Zhong Zai believed Huang xiutai's slander and only gave Lin Dachun the head of the household department, which made the capital in an uproar. On the same day, Zhong Zai was arrested for other crimes, but Lin Dachun was appointed to the post, so he, together with he Dongxu in Puzhou, Dai Ke in Fujian and Zhao Xian in Runan, signed a memorial to the minister. At that time, Jiajing pretended to be "determined to do political work" and often sent envoys in the middle of the night to write letters to various ministries, demanding immediate repayment. Every time this happens, the Secretary of the Ministry of household affairs is slow to "ride by Candlelight", and it is said that Lin Dachun is here. As soon as Lin Dachun arrived, he said, "all that he has seen will be restored, and none of them is improper for the purpose.". For this reason, Fang Dun respects him very much. In spring, he escorted 250000 yuan to pay Liaodong army and let them return to the province. In 1557 (the 36th year of Jiajing reign of the Ming Dynasty), Lin Dachun went to Beijing to recover his life. On the way, he stayed because of illness, and the new minister wrote to impeach him. Memorials are sealed on the seal, just spring arrived, Shangshu then removed the name of spring from memorials. Dachun tried his best to defend several of his colleagues. The minister did not listen, so several colleagues were demoted, leaving Lin Dachun in charge. Because of Lin Dachun's remarkable achievements, his father was awarded Chengde Lang. Lin Dachun once went to Zhilu of Xiyuan with many officials to meet Yan Song. When Yan Song saw Lin Dachun, he sighed and said, "if you can get a famous name in ancient times, you can hear it. If you can't see it, it's called Gong." Lin Dachun is regarded as a sage who can only hear his name but can't see his face in ancient times, which makes more than ten people who went to see him at the same time "look at each other in amazement". They think that Lin Dachun has recognized Yan Song as a student, but when they read Lin Dachun's letter, they don't call it "under the door", only write the official title of "head of household". Some people asked this question. Lin Dachun explained that Dong Zhongshu paid a visit to the prime minister in the Han Dynasty, and only wrote "Jiangdu Prime Minister Zhongshu" in the invitation. They were both amazed and admired.

Skillful management of court struggle

When Lin Dachun was the head of the household department, he also dealt with a matter involving power struggle in the palace. Jiajing once established Prince Zhuang Jing in the 18th year book, and granted King Yu and King Jinggong at the same time. Soon after, the prince died. Jiajing did not want to establish a prince, so the succession of Yu and Jing was not clear. King Jing takes second place, with ulterior motives. Unfortunately, Yu Wang's eldest son died at the age of 5. Jiajing imperial edict sent loyal officials to cooperate with Si Li NEISHI to choose the place for burial. The Ministry of household affairs selected Lin Dachun. Because he attached himself to King Jing, he paid no attention to the funeral of his great grandson. Instead, he welcomed Lin Dachun with a boa robe and jade belt. Lin Dachun insisted on meeting each other in plain clothes. Lin Dachun thought it disrespectful and firmly opposed that he should go straight to the Red Gate, summon his father and elder to ask, and get the emperor's grandgrandmother Dou Taihuang's tomb branch attached. For this reason, Lin Dachun "guessed that there were many people who attached scenery to his wife, and told him about Xu Shaofu.". Xu Jie used the plan of spring to play "ask King Jing to be granted the Kingdom, and the people's mind will be determined.". In 1561 (the 40th year of Jiajing reign of the Ming Dynasty), King Jing left home and went to the fiefdom of De'an to avoid a fight for the crown prince.

Impeachment in official career

Geng Ding, the censor, impeached the Minister of Li Department. Because Lin Dachun was closely related to Geng Dingxiang, Jiang Bao, Wang Hui and Hu Zhiguo, the Minister of the Ministry of official suspected that Lin Dachun and other four people were Geng's subordinates, so he spared them and let them go. In this regard, the public opinion in Beijing is deeply aggrieved and called "four gentlemen". In 1560 (the 39th year of the Jiajing reign of the Ming Dynasty), Lin Dachun took up the post of Jiangfang officer in Huguang. He went back to his hometown through Jiangxi Province. When he met a rogue on the way, he disturbed the right side of the river. Guangchang was in danger. Lin Dachun was called "dispatch troops but thieves to keep the isolated city, and Changren was virtuous.". As soon as the siege of Guangchang was over, Lin Dachun was in a hurry to return to the south. However, when he got home, his mother had been dead for three months. In 1563 (the 42nd year of Jiajing reign of the Ming Dynasty), Lin Dachun's family guard system was not full, which coincided with the Japanese invasion. The Japanese pirates burned people's houses outside Chaoyang City, sent people to tombs and plundered them. They also built vehicles for Linchong to attack around the city. Lin Dachun and county magistrate Guo mengde recruited more than 400 soldiers to fight against Japanese pirates in the city for more than 50 days, and finally beat back the bandits. During the period of guarding the city, Zhang Mian also took part in the defense and sent Xiao Xin as general. Xiao Xin was killed by the scholars because of his "bad intentions". According to Chen Daoji, Zhang Mian falsely accused more than ten students, such as Xiao and Zheng, of "recklessly killing good people". Lin Dachun heard that he was extremely indignant, and immediately wrote to the hospital to prepare the original story. Chen Daoji was convinced of Lin Dachun's statement that Zhang Mian was burned in the hall, which made Xiao and Zheng members wash away the snow. When Lin Dachun's system expired, he began to make up for Chen Zhou's affairs in Suiyang, Henan Province. He "abides by the law and does not avoid the powerful", and once beheaded Gao Gong's lawbreakers according to the law. In 1566 (the 45th year of Jiajing reign of Ming Dynasty), the imperial court "planned" the whole world, and Lin Dachun returned to the imperial court according to the rule. At that time, Gao Gong was already in phase, and took the opportunity to demote Lin Dachun. "Hundreds of miles after the people.". In the year of Yue, Emperor Longqing ascended to the throne, and he daoxun called Yan Jingshang Shu Lin Dachun. Soon after, Gao Gong was relieved of his prime minister again, and the Ministry of officials appointed Lin Dachun as the official of Cangwu Dao in Guangxi. After Lin Dachun took office, he worked with Governor Wu Guifang to straighten up the army. At the same time, Lin Dachun advocated that the barracks should be replaced by tile roofed houses to reduce fire. Since then, Cangwu's troops have been well prepared. At that time, Tan Lun, the Minister of the Ministry of war, and Yu Dayou, the chief of the army, were in charge of the suppression of Japanese invaders in Jiliao. Lin Dachun, unwilling to leave Cangwu, recommended Zhang Shi. In the same year, Emperor Longqing ordered Lin Dachun's father to be a government official. In 1568 (the second year of Longqing in the Ming Dynasty), Lin Dachun was transferred to Zhejiang University. Longqing, the crown prince of the Imperial College, ordered all the students to be selected to the Imperial College. Lin Dachun gathered more than 2000 Zhejiang students and met in Wulin. He selected 90 students to take the test. The results showed that "six of them were the first choice for the test, but I knew that they were high". All the ministers of the imperial court said that they were different. They ordered all localities to choose gongshidang as the model of Zhejiang in the future. Yang Bo, the Minister of the Ministry of official, praised Lin Dachun's ability, and specially invited him to "rank the Vice Minister of the Jin Dynasty and supervise Zhejiang studies as before.". At the same time, Longqing ordered the compilation of Shizong records. Lin Dachun extensively searched for relevant figures in Zhejiang Province, and presented several volumes of his works for biography. Longqing approved the official meeting of the Museum of history. After ten days of deliberation, there were no different words. Longqing was also very satisfied. For this reason, Lin Dachun "is famous for his work, and the officials in Beijing and the province are eager to write, and those who question the difficulties are constantly on the road"; and "people in Wuzhong are crossing the river and asking about the business more and more.". Some invited Dachun to give lectures, for this reason, Lin Dachun's footprints all over the two Yue. 1569 (Minglong)
