After meeting Chitose Guide and being forced to agree to be a lobbyist, Li You returned to the cabinet. In fact, he was not completely forced. Mr. Li also planned to ask the eldest princess to come forward and save him the drudgery of reading books.
The rule for entering the inner court is to enter at Chen time and leave at Shen time. It was hard for Li You to leave early when he first arrived. Besides, the eldest princess also had a lot of palace affairs to deal with, so she could only make an appointment to leave the palace when the sun turned west.
At this time, the dining room was empty and there was no one else around. The hungry Li You randomly found a few bowls of rice to eat, and then went to eat and take a nap in his own hut on the north veranda of Dongge.
Today is his first day on the job, so he does not need to be a director. He has to familiarize himself with the situation for a day or two first, and feel the depth of the water and the shallowness of the water, so there is no need to act in a hurry.
"Master Li, why don't you go and pay homage to the elders?" Suddenly someone asked from the corridor outside the door.
Li You raised his eyes and saw that it was the person who led him in in the morning. It seemed that his surname was Qin and he was from Zhongshushe. He smiled and said: "Thank you, Brother Qin, for your concern. I am insignificant in the lower area, so how dare I disturb you?"
As princes of the country, they can only repay the king's favor by being diligent in his affairs."
Qin Sheren also sold well this time, but he unexpectedly got such an answer. This new colleague didn't seem to have any intention of getting along with the elder. Is it because he is arrogant or because he is a talented person?
Now there are four great bachelors sitting in Wenyuan Pavilion. After careful consideration, Li You does not intend to take the initiative to meet them. Because as his knowledge has broadened, he has gained some new insights in these days and has a deeper understanding of his position.
Although there is a complicated and intertwined situation between the Queen Mother, the Emperor, the inner court, and the outer court inside and outside the court, as the emperor has grown up in the past two years, it has indeed reached a critical point in the distribution of power. No one can understand the chaotic situation.
As a result, the murder case of Yique Supervisor has not yet been fully investigated.
But if you still don’t understand the context of the subplot of adding a sub-plot to the book, then Mr. Li might as well return to Xujiang County as soon as possible and become a country tycoon who doesn’t care about worldly affairs.
In recent years, the cabinet ministers have been assisted by the late emperor's imperial edicts. Firstly, because the emperor was young and secondly because the empress dowager was not responsible for her political reputation, the power of the cabinet gradually increased. This time, the inner palace and the outer court unanimously agreed to set up a separate ticket. The empress dowager first issued an edict.
Later, the Ministry of Civil Affairs selected officials as quickly as possible. How could you know that it was not a hidden intention to restrict the cabinet ministers?
Xu Shangshu and the eldest princess are competing for position, which is just a small detail of the struggle for dominance in this general direction. If Li You hadn't used some small means similar to fishing and law enforcement on Lin's consort, and touched him lightly and just right.
Touching the seven inches of Guide Chitose's body, I'm afraid it's still in a stalemate.
With this background factor, Mr. Li, who clearly understands why he was able to rise to power smoothly, has reason to think that he is a special one and needs to show a somewhat different appearance. How can it be the same as being a person in the imperial edict and a person in charge of voting?
Those people from Zhongshushe who are called officials, but actually evolved into the attendants of senior officials and officials?
Although cabinet ministers are considered to be close to prime ministers in people's minds, at least in the Ming Dynasty official system, cabinet is only a place of business and not a formal government office. In other words, it is a geographical term rather than a political term.
Therefore, in name, the great scholar Ge Lao can only be regarded as an assistant minister of the emperor, not the chief official of one party. The so-called prime minister has the actual status but does not have the name of prime minister, and many times it depends on personal prestige and political situation.
If Li You has a higher self-esteem, he can brag about it. The great scholars in the imperial palace are admitted to the Wenyuan Pavilion of Zhizhi, while Li You is admitted to the imperial palace of Zhigao. They are all ministers who assist the emperor in their names, and their status is different.
But there is no affiliation between them.
Apart from their origins, in terms of future prospects, ordinary two-room housekeepers are promoted by the recommendation of the elders as a rule, so they evolve into subordinate officials, but Li You does not need to rely on this.
To put it more ugly, even if Mr. Li loses his face and sells himself to seek glory and joins Princess Guide, it is more reliable than flattering these elders who are vying for the top spot.
Just after sending Qin Sheren away, he saw the clerk of the clerk's room of the Supervisor of Ceremonies holding some chapters in the corridor to ask for instructions. Li You resisted the desire to exercise power and asked: "How were you handled before?"
The eunuch replied: "Send it to the wooden cabinet under the saint's statue in the lobby of Wenyuan Pavilion. The four cabinet masters will take turns to take it out without looking at the situation in the cabinet until it is exhausted."
Hearing this, Li You was speechless. Isn't this the method of drawing lots? It's really the best. I heard that the selection of officials in the Ministry of Civil Affairs was forced by various forces and had no choice. For a period of time, the method of drawing lots was also adopted. Where did the officials to be selected be drawn?
No matter what, after being laughed at for decades, he never expected that he would encounter such a ridiculous thing today.
"As usual today, we will discuss it tomorrow." Li You ordered.
There was nothing else going on for the rest of the afternoon, Mr. Li was quiet and quiet.
Since the sun has set slightly in the west, the cabinet members have dispersed and left the cabinet one after another, occasionally mixed with one or two bachelors. However, the eldest princess did not send anyone to send a message, so Li You had to continue to sit in the room and wait for the news.
Gradually everyone left, and there were only two people left in the entire cabinet. One was Li You, and if the other was correct, he should be one of the four bachelors, the crown prince Taibao, the Minister of Hubu and Dongge bachelor Yang Gelao,
Zhu Fanghe pointed it out to Li You after the lecture at the Wenhua Palace.
Mr. Yang Ge, who was of average height and appearance, slowly walked to the porch of the north veranda of the East Pavilion, knocked on the door frame, and woke up Li You who was taking a nap.
Although Mr. Li didn't think about how to curry favor with Mr. Ge, when Mr. Ge took the initiative to come to the door, he still had to have the proper etiquette. He quickly stood up and knelt down to see him.
Yang Gelao stopped Li You and asked: "We will see each other often in the future without any red tape. If there is nothing to do today, why can't Li Sheren stay?"
Li You replied: "I have an appointment with someone else. I want to wait for a while, but I don't want to disturb Mr. Ge."
Mr. Yang Ge smiled and joked: "If you don't leave, I can't leave either. I can only wait with you."
It turns out that the cabinet is a secret place of the central government. The cabinet door must be locked every night. Each of the great scholars has a key. Anyone who needs urgent business at night can come and open the door.
In daily life, the bachelors take turns to lock the door. Every day, one of them is guaranteed to leave the cabinet last and lock the door. Today it is Mr. Yang Ge's turn. Therefore, if Li You doesn't leave, Mr. Yang Ge can only wait together. Mr. Li is here for the first time.
, I didn’t think of this rule for a moment, otherwise I would never be so cold-blooded.
"My official was careless for a moment and delayed my schedule. This is all my fault." After understanding the situation, Li You apologized with his company commander's bow.
"It doesn't matter, I don't have anything else to do."
Of course, Li You couldn't listen to what Mr. Ge said. He turned around, closed the door of the room, and walked out of the cabinet with Mr. Yang.
Mr. Yang Ge... Mr. Yang Ge... Li You suddenly felt that this person looked familiar, as if he had known him a long time ago.
He kept thinking about it, and when he walked to the door of the pavilion, Li You suddenly remembered that when he was on duty in Xujiang County in the past, he often read various newspapers with nothing to do. The memorial he saw requested that the inspection of the country be changed from a hereditary military attache.
Mr. Yang, who worked as a miscellaneous person, was first Yang Shangshu and later became Mr. Yang Ge. Isn’t this the one in front of him?
At that time, in Li Dianshi's eyes, Mr. Yang was just an unreachable symbol of power on a newspaper copy, and probably would not have any direct connection with him in this life. But now he has become a real living person in front of his eyes.
If we were to choose the biggest hand in pushing the wheel of history in this book, others would not know how to choose, but Li You himself would definitely vote for Mr. Yang sincerely.
If he hadn't promoted the change of inspection duties, I'm afraid Mr. Li would still be firmly imprisoned in Xishui Town, Xujiang County. How big a difference would it make whether he was an inspection inspector or not? The ancestral system is not so easy to break through.
Precisely because he changed martial arts to literature, Li had the opportunity to escape from his prison. Yin Feng took advantage of the situation and blended into the mainstream of official circles. He stood in the palace and met the instigator again.
What a fate... Filled with the wonderful feeling of this kind of encounter, Li You looked at Mr. Yang more and more affectionately. Oddly, he reached out and patted the shoulder of the prince's Taibao, the Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue, and the bachelor of Dongge, almost
Say: Hello, how are you?
Academician Yang was so stunned that he didn't react for a moment...
After that, Li Sheren was dumbfounded on the spot, wishing he could chop off his own troublesome hand. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and saluted: "It's not because I am rude! I just remembered the great kindness of Mr. Ge, and for a moment I felt
I can't help but feel so full of admiration! I have no place to show my shame, but Mr. Wanwang Pavilion is so forgiving."
There wasn't even an eyewitness, and no one would believe it... Academician Yang came back to his senses from his astonishment. Hearing Li You keep saying he was so kind, he asked strangely: "What kind of kindness? I must have never seen it before."
Where do you start talking about kindness?"
Li You replied affectionately: "Xia Guan was originally a patrol inspector in Suzhou. Although he wanted to teach, he couldn't achieve his ambition. He originally thought he would be depressed and waste his life. I didn't want the boss to carry out the inspection and change his job. It would be like a reincarnation of his kindness to Xia Guan.
How can I not be grateful to my heart? Today I finally see my benefactor’s face and remember the past, my heart is so agitated that I can’t control myself, so I behave rudely and I dare not defend myself for my crime!”
It turns out that it is always a very pleasant thing to be thanked by others. Mr. Yang Ge felt a little proud in his heart, and Li You was much more pleasing to the eye. And being so excited that he lost his temper was enough to show that Li Sheren really kept these in his heart.
If you are not a heartless person, then you can be forgiven.
But the old man also warned: "Now that you have entered Zhida, you should be careful in your words and deeds. You must not be so shameless in the future."
"Thank you for your teachings." Li You said honestly.
Mr. Yang Ge nodded, patted Li You on the shoulder in revenge, and then headed west. Zun Yulong, a bachelor of the cabinet university, was allowed to enter and exit through Xihua Gate when he was not in court, so there was no need to take a detour.
This side of the Meridian Gate.
Li You took a long breath and wiped the sweat from his forehead. Why couldn't he get rid of the problem of being too proud?
He remembered the agreement he had made with the eldest princess, but no one had come to deliver the news so far, so he took the initiative to walk north along the road he had walked at noon, bypassing the Wenhua Hall.
Unfortunately, when we arrived at the Huiyin Gate in the northwest of Wenhua Hall, we were stopped by the gatekeeper. Mr. Li's dental plaque was useless here and he could not pass through this gate.
Then just wait here, while Li You circles around outside Huiyin Gate. By the way, in a row of courtyards along the city wall to the east of here is the famous historical relics supervisor, which Mr. Li admired from a distance.
