Speaking of the eldest princess's idea, Li You was frightened at first, but then he immediately realized the danger in it.
Although the Cisheng Palace and the cabinet generally give face and will not easily refute the memorials of the officials, it is also in line with the convention to change someone's position in the inner court according to the royal taste, such as changing the Imperial Palace to Wenhua Palace.
At that time, there were two dangers for Li You. One was that he aroused the suspicion of the ministers and lost his foundation; the other was that he was out of the protection of the civil service group, and like meat on the chopping board, he might be picked on by a princess or the emperor at any time.
Punish the criminal and free up the position of the bookmaker on the ticket.
While Li You was deep in thought, he heard Guide Chitose teasingly say: "Master Li is thinking hard, do you have any countermeasures?"
He then replied: "Your Majesty, there is something I don't know about. Your Highness has this plan and you can do it on your own. Why do you need to say it now?"
"This is your Majesty's intention. I am just reminding Mr. Li. Mr. Li, there is no need to be anxious. The official report will not be sent out for three days. You can have three days to consider it carefully. There is no harm in telling Xu Shangshu everything."
Why did Princess Guide deliberately tell Li You and delay it for three days, but she was not afraid that Xu Shangshu would know?
This is a three-party psychological game between open and clear. Each party will guess the other person's choice, and each party will consider its own choice.
Li You can choose to invite Shangshu, or he can just wait and see; Xu Shangshu can also continue to trust Li You, or he can not trust Li You; His Highness Chitose can change Li You to Wenhua Palace, or not.
Go to Wenhua Hall.
Everyone can change the tricks, and each one has their own ingenuity. For the eldest princess, when she is already behind and cannot directly persuade Li You to join her, this is also a way. In the game, she is the one who can come last
Those who make one move naturally have the greatest advantage in judgment.
Seeing that he was trapped in the whirlpool, Li You, who had already worked up an idea, sighed. Does the young master really look so harmless and easy to bully? Then don't blame the young master for showing his teeth. His Highness Chitose is not without weaknesses. Then he stepped forward and said
: "If there is nothing else to do tonight, I would like to see my consort."
The eldest princess did not expect that Li You suddenly made this request, and asked in surprise: "Why do you want to see him?"
"Zhu Bulang invited the official and his consort to congratulate Cisheng Palace on his birthday. He wanted to write a poem for the official, the consort to paint, and the consort to write the inscription. This matter should not be ignored, so the official wanted to discuss the matter with his consort, so he asked the consort.
What kind of painting are you good at?"
It is absolutely important to wish birthdays to people who hold great political responsibilities. As a negative example, you can refer to a certain Queen Mother who has disappeared in this time and space. "Whoever makes me unhappy for a moment will be unhappy for a lifetime."
Even Guide Chitose once commissioned Li You to compose poems for him. When Li You mentioned it, he asked: "I once asked you to compose poems for me, but have you ever done so now?"
"Since ancient times, it is difficult to come up with new ideas for birthday celebration poems. Fortunately, there is still half a month, and I will continue to consider it."
Of course, the performance of the consort will also directly affect the eldest princess's own face. Guide Chitose ordered the eunuchs on the left and right: "It is said that the consort will come here immediately!"
"Slow down!" Li You stopped the envoy and said, "I'm afraid that my consort may have misunderstandings about me and refuse to come. I'll go and see you in person."
"Okay." The eldest princess nodded in agreement.
Li You was led by the eunuch to the backyard, along the corridor and the corridor until he reached the Prince Consort's residence.
Consort Lin was sitting by the window drinking. When he saw Li You throwing the wine cup on the table, he asked bitterly: "What are you doing here?"
Li You greeted him and said: "I have been ordered by Guide Qiansui to have a secret talk with the consort."
Hearing his wife's name, the consort snorted and said nothing, waiting to see what Li You could say.
Li You said to the attendants beside the consort: "Left left and right, five feet away from the house first!"
Those attendants were intimidated by the name of the eldest princess and naturally they would not disobey her.
Li You's expression changed suddenly, and he sat opposite the consort with a smile on his face and said, "Consort Lin is drinking alone. Could it be that he is waiting for his thousandth birthday? I don't know how many times a month?"
Consort Lin was furious at being hurt by Li You. He slapped the table and said, "You are a bold and rude maniac!"
Li You quickly raised his hands and said, "I'm sorry for making such a joke. But based on what I've seen and felt, and what I've heard from Zhu Bulang, I know that my consort is suffering, and I can't bear to feel the same pain for a moment. But I'm here.
I’m not saying this just to celebrate my birthday.”
Consort Lin, however, went off topic and asked: "You are talking nonsense, what do you think you have the same problem with?"
Li You took advantage of the situation and complained: "I want the prince-in-law to know that the official came from a poor family and got the official position from his father-in-law. His mother-in-law was the wet nurse of Lu Bingbu's family. It is conceivable that I feel the same as the prince-in-law? I am a humble concubine.
I almost don’t bother to talk to you, but the maids around me often yell at my officials. If you don’t believe me, ask Cui Jiansheng.”
Well, Mei Zhi did often yell at Mr. Li, but in the end he was stripped naked and thrown on the bed to teach him a lesson.
Oh? Consort Lin doesn't look so hateful to Li You at this time. As a fellow-traveler, he laments his unfortunate marriage with Mr. Li and exchanges some experiences.
I heard Li You sigh with emotion: "Thanks to our county magistrate for taking the initiative, the situation is a little better."
Consort Lin sighed: "You have your parents and officials to make the decision, but who should I go to?"
Li You pointed to the sky, "The palace won't make the decision for you?"
Consort Lin said distressedly: "The Queen Mother often utters a few words, but it is of no use. The son-in-law is not as close as the daughter after all. As for the emperor, not to mention, how can he care about a thousand years."
"If there is any evil in my hometown, I must first bring it to justice with my neighbors. If public criticism is useless, I will go to the official."
"How can there be public discussion among neighbors on royal affairs?"
Li You whispered: "The public opinion of the Tian family naturally lies in the imperial court. Isn't it the same as the family and the country?"
Consort Lin was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said: "With so many yamen in the imperial court, who can we turn to for this matter? Who is qualified to take over? Who dares to take over? Even Zhu Bulang is helpless in the Ministry of Rites."
Li You stayed with his consort and felt sad for a long time, then suddenly slapped his forehead and said, "I just remembered a place to go."
Consort Lin asked in confusion: "Where?"
"Ximen of Chang'an..." Li You said vaguely.
Consort Lin actually didn't understand, so Li You had to patiently speak more clearly: "Deng Wengu..."
Hearing these three words, it was as if a ray of light appeared in the gloom. The prince-in-law was a little excited. He stood up immediately and walked quickly back and forth in the house.
Every dynasty and every generation has a Dengwen drum. As mentioned earlier, the Dengwen drum of the Ming Dynasty was located at the west gate of Chang'an and was guarded by the royal guards in turns. It was regarded as a channel of appeal for the people. Even the ignorant people in the countryside knew that drums were beaten outside the imperial city to appeal to the emperor.
shape.
The iron rule set by Taizu is that anyone who appeals by beating the drum will be escorted to the Metropolitan Procuratorate by the guards in uniform. The Metropolitan Procuratorate must take responsibility and cannot shirk the blame. They must report the matter to the palace and supervise at the same time.
Related to Yamen handling.
If Consort Lin wanted to complain, he had nowhere to go, and there was no government office to take him in. But after beating the Dengwen drum, Taizu's decree was put here, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate had to come forward.
The Metropolitan Procuratorate cannot ignore the introduction of the ancestral laws. Although most honest officials have difficulty in handling household affairs, if the matter gets serious, the princess should be restrained. Is it possible for the prince-in-law to be exiled three thousand miles just for beating the drum?
But the prince-in-law sighed again and said: "It's so shameless to be exposed in public... It's just a bad thing and it becomes a laughing stock, so that's it."
Laughing stock? You have already been made a laughing stock in the capital by Wang Yannv and you are still worried about this... Li You cursed in his heart, pretending not to care on his face. "I originally sympathized with the consort's plight and wanted to bring a petition to fight for him.
To tell you the truth, General Zhao Xian of the Metropolitan Procuratorate is from my hometown, and I have a close relationship with the Zhao family in Suzhou, so I can take care of this matter. Since my consort doesn’t want to, let’s give it up.”
Consort Lin approached Li You and said dubiously, "Are you willing to go?"
Li You forced a bit of shame on his face, and he repeatedly cupped his hands and said: "Zhu Bulang once scolded me... Actually, I snatched the votes and became the secretary. I feel very guilty. I am willing to let my consort tell me to calm my mind."
"Okay, how do you think the petition should be written?" Consort Lin finally took the initiative to talk about the topic in Mr. Li's mind.
A thousand words of saliva have not been in vain... Li You is very pleased with this. "This is easy! Just write about the unruly wife, the abuse of the consort, and the disorder. What I write below is the circumstantial evidence I witnessed with my own eyes."
Consort Lin is indeed a well-known talent in the capital. He has achieved success immediately after writing.
Li You looked at it and suddenly lost his voice: "Ah! You and I have forgotten one thing. You have to go and submit the petition yourself, and no one else can do it for you. It's a bit inappropriate for me to take the petition to sue Guide Qiantai for not being a wife. After all,
She is just your wife."
This... Xiaolin's consort, who was in a lot of moods today, was so depressed that he almost cried, "Is your hard work still in vain?"
Li You frowned and thought for a long time, and then said helplessly: "I have come up with a way. First change the word "Unruly Wifey" to "Unruly Wifey", and then add some other names and my signature. Only in this way will I be able to make it easier for me.
Go with a name."
"It would be great if there is a way." Consort Lin had been completely fooled by Mr. Li at this time. He picked up his pen again and waited for Li You to dictate.
"You can first add words such as self-restraint as a princess, disrupting the law and interfering in politics, and bringing trouble to the palace. As a seventh-grade official, you naturally have the responsibility to speak uprightly for the country and the people! However, these names have no effect on the eldest princess, they are just to make the princess
Go down and beat the Dengwen drum in a legitimate manner."
Consort Lin happily continued writing.
In fact, with the addition of Li You, the nature has changed a bit, and private morality has quietly turned into a public crime.
It would be fine if someone else sued, but if the consort personally sued, it would be almost exposed, and the family farce would turn into a political incident. Although Li You co-signed, who else would pay attention to the name of the soy sauce next to Consort Lin? Of course it is.
Just pay attention to the Prince Consort.
After the document was written, Li You and Consort Lin signed it together.
"I entrust you with an important task, so don't let me down!" Consort Lin bowed deeply and said.
Li You put away the petition and solemnly returned the courtesy to his consort: "I can't write a petition, and I can't complain to you. I'll do the work, don't worry!"
I didn’t expect things to go so smoothly, I didn’t expect Lin’s consort to be so easy to talk to, I didn’t expect that my acting skills would have a new breakthrough... Three unexpected surprises in a row made Mr. Li walk out of the consort’s house lightly, and said to himself: “What kind of three-way game is there?
Is this officer so easy to bully?"
Zhang San waited on Mr. Li to get on the sedan. When he heard this, he smiled and said: "I was really bullying others in Suzhou, but I feel a little uncomfortable in the capital."
"You said that the capital has a population of one million, and there are so many people living comfortably. Why, sir, can I never have a comfortable day in the capital?"
Zhang San giggled and couldn't answer.
Another senior officer, Han Zong, interrupted and said: "Only mediocre people can feel comfortable, but unfortunately the master is always so outstanding."
Hearing this, Li You stopped getting on the sedan and said in surprise: "I never knew that Han Dalang was so knowledgeable. Then according to your words, how can I be mediocre?"
"In my eyes, I seem to be born different, unlike ordinary people. I really don't know how to call me mediocre."
This flattery made Li You laugh out loud, and said to Zhang San: "Go back and reward him with ten taels! I told you to study more, but you won't get any benefits today."
Mr. Li is in a good mood now that he has nuclear weapons. Of course, the greatest power of nuclear weapons is that they are not used, but it does not matter if they are used twice when encountering the Japanese country. The specific situation will be analyzed in detail.
