It is said that Li You ignored the people of the city and left his job and ran away. Aren't he worried that he would really lose his official position? In the military career or during war, this is called running away, but for the civil servants of the country and the court, resigning on his own is a kind of taste and culture
——Resignation culture. Several professional terms have been created, such as hanging up the crown and leaving, sealing out of the city, Dumen thanking guests, etc.
Just like Zhao Liangyi mentioned in the previous article, he chose to resign after being scolded by the official. Before the emperor approved, he ran home, which can be regarded as resigning on his own initiative. This is called serving the emperor with the way.
Retreating. On the one hand, it is to promote one's high moral integrity and does not care about fame and fortune. On the other hand, it is to redeem oneself when one is in a critical situation.
Such people are generally sympathetic in the public opinion of the country. The emperor will definitely try to retain you again and again, and the official position will be reserved for you (those who dare to jump out impatiently and prepare to commit suicide are all official fools). Of course, Li You is here
Not on that level, but the meaning is similar.
In fact, Li You, who has only been immersed in the officialdom of this era for half a year, may not understand the above principles. What he relies on is only the experience of later generations and cleverness. After careful analysis, his purpose this time is just to shirk the unfavorable responsibility of quelling the riots, and his operational ideas
It’s what I learned in my previous life: “Create advanced models and turn bad things into good things”.
So he worked very hard to build up a huge reputation for himself, which could be said to be supported by all the people. In the end, he seemed helpless, so he blamed himself in public and pretended to run away, saying that he was ashamed of the court and gave way to the virtuous. And Li You was very good.
Fortunately, the aura of the protagonist has emerged. His actions unintentionally coincide with the mainstream moral standards of the dynasty, and he is in a sympathetic and very positive position in public opinion. In this era, even with the official attitude, the morality that is parasitic in public opinion
, principles, etiquette and the like are even more important than the law.
Let's not talk about it, but they said that Mr. Li had nothing to do and floated back to Xujiang County in a small boat. When he visited his parents, his mother, Mrs. Zhu, said with distress: "Xiao Er is a little thin."
Li You smiled and replied: "My son is an official in Fucheng. He has been working hard recently and can't rest for a moment."
Father Li next to him didn't believe it: "If you are an official and don't say that you are busy, then you should not use official accent at home."
Li You was immediately choked by his father and didn't believe the truth.
"What happened when you came home suddenly?" Father Li asked again.
Li You said: "My son abandoned his job and came back..."
Li's father was furious and interrupted Li You: "How dare you do this!"
Li You was about to explain when he saw a disciple hurried over with a name card in hand and said: "There is a guard of honor outside."
Li You took the name card and saw that Chen Yingzhen's name was written on it. He was shocked for a moment. This was Mr. Chen's first visit, and he took the initiative. How could he not be surprised, let alone Mr. Chen's dignified status as a sub-inspection officer.
Don't forget that Li You took the initiative to resign in a high-spirited and honorable manner. If he didn't want the lie to come true, the patrol officer with the power of supervision and recommendation must not neglect it.
Li You immediately tidied up his clothes, ordered his subordinates to open the door, and welcomed him out of the gate. Sure enough, he saw Mr. Chen's honor guard procession, and Master Huang was standing in front of the procession, looking over here.
Li You stepped forward quickly, intending to go to the sedan chair to meet Mr. Chen. Unexpectedly, Mr. Huang's steps were more agile. He stretched out his hand to stop Li You and said, "Why is Mr. Li coming out?"
I dare not show off my airs? What kind of senseless words did Mr. Huang say? Li You was confused and looked suspicious.
"Do you understand the rules?" Mr. Huang asked with a somewhat reproachful tone.
Li You was even more confused. Could it be that he was rude in some way? But thinking back quickly, there should be no such thing.
Then I heard Mr. Huang sighing and saying: "You should stay behind closed doors and refuse to see guests! What are you doing out here?"
"Is it wrong to come out to greet Ambassador Chen Lian with a big gift?" Li You couldn't help asking.
"Don't you think carefully about why Lord Chen condescends to the noble house? Doesn't this cause you to worry a little more?" Master Huang shook his head and said: "Master Chen is responsible for the education and promotion of the customs of the Tao.
As a matter of integrity, I came here to advise the local virtuous people. But you, as a wise man who has taken the initiative to retire, how can you rush to greet the superior when you see him coming!"
Li You finally understood... At this time, it was not Mr. Chen who came to visit Mr. Li, but Chen Xundao, on behalf of the inspection branch, to visit and condolences the advanced model Li Xianshi who had retired at home. Mr. Huang thought that he did not have the style of Gao Xian, so he behaved
Being too humble has ruined Mr. Chen's affairs.
It is wrong to act too respectfully...
According to Master Huang's idea, Li You should stay behind closed doors, but Chen Xundao insisted on waiting for half a day or two more times to make a good story. However, he didn't expect that Li You didn't understand this rule, had no tacit understanding, and couldn't cooperate.
stand up.
"You can still fool around when you are a counselor, but now that you have reached this position, it is time to find a staff to assist the counselor!" Master Huang hates that iron cannot make steel.
"I know I was wrong." Li You said sincerely, "I will close the door and refuse customers."
"It's too late, don't add unnecessary unnecessary extravagance to make things laughable."
Chen Xundao finally entered Li's house. After the guests and hosts sat down for tea, they made a very official statement and said to Li You: "The sage said: If you have the Tao, you will be an official; if you have no Tao, you will be in trouble."
What is this? Li You, who is not proficient in the meaning of classics, doesn’t know how to answer. Why can’t he understand what everyone said today? He still has to look at Mr. Huang...
Mr. Huang half hinted: "But I remembered a saying, if you are prosperous, you can help the world, and if you are poor, you can only take care of yourself."
Li You himself felt a little embarrassed by the flattery, and said in a panic: "Both Mr. Lian and Mr. Huang were so complimentary."
For some reason, Chen Xundao suddenly remembered the incident of building an altar to pray for rain last year. Li You's ability to make fun of the situation is really unique in officialdom. He couldn't help but smile slightly, "I also admire what you did."
But he could understand it. This must be a public commendation and praise from his superiors for his virtues. Isn’t this what all the hard work is waiting for? Li You answered humbly: "Being in his position and being in the situation, I can't help but do it."
I don’t think so. However, I am a low-ranking official with poor talent and poor moral character. In the end, I am unable to quell the serious trouble. I feel unworthy of being so kind to the court."
Chen Xundao added: "The system of our dynasty uses the middle to suppress the outside, the upper to suppress the lower, and the small to suppress the big. It is very difficult for local officials at the state and county level to work together, and I have a lot of experience. You don't have to blame yourself."
Li You was moved and said: "Thank you very much, Ambassador Lian, for your understanding."
After comforting him, Chen Xundao stood up and left, but Master Huang stayed alone to talk to Li You, "Now that Fen Shoudao has not yet taken office, Chen Lian is under a lot of pressure as Fen Xundao. Everyone knows your contribution.
, no one else can do it better than you."
Mr. Huang also fully affirmed Li You, but it was different from Chen Xundao's affirmation...Li You also really understood.
A layman looks at the excitement, and an expert looks at the door. How many people understand the things behind the excitement?
The price of rice has soared to its highest level in recent years. In the final analysis, it was caused by the government's lack of morality and lack of rice to sell, and its fear of making preparations in advance. If Mr. Li hadn't tried every means to direct the finger at major grain merchants, the government would still be where it is now.
Is it so stable?
Li You summoned the grain merchants with great fanfare after eating a full meal, forcing him to lower prices even though he knew he couldn't do anything. In the end, he was ridiculed by the major grain merchants for what? In front of the emotionally unstable lower-class civilians, he used his prestige to curse
What are the grain merchants doing as traitors and cowards? Watching hungry people besieging the grain merchants' guild hall without caring about what they are doing? Does he, a person who has traveled through the 21st century, really not understand what the laws of market economy are? Doesn't he really understand that he will destroy the grain merchants' whole family?
Wouldn't it be possible to solve the problem even if they were all dismantled?
In the past, when rice prices skyrocketed, there would almost always be violent incidents where hungry people stormed the government warehouses, which was called a government riot, and then caused riots throughout the city, but this time there was no such thing. Therefore, Li Tuiguan was indispensable for successfully diverting the conflict.
, this is the view that a truly knowledgeable official should not express openly. Because he cannot say it publicly, in the end, he can only praise Li Tuiguan for his integrity!
Benevolence, righteousness and morality are always parasites, and mainstream public opinion does not exist in isolation and objectively. In the end, it is actually all interests, the interests of the ruling class! Otherwise, Li You is a fart advanced model. Do you really think you can pretend to be cool?
