Chapter 232 The end of the song has a long aftertaste
Chapter 232 The song ends and everyone leaves with a long aftertaste
A certain Guanglu doctor, the prince's tutor, the minister of the Ministry of Rites, and the bachelor of Wenhua Palace entered Zhiwenyuan Pavilion to know the scriptures and banquets on his behalf, and a certain Xuanyilang, the left commentator of Dali Temple, and the scholar of Zhongshushe,
The debate between the imperial banquet officials and the officials is still going on...
Well, to put it simply and concisely, it means that the quarrel between Mr. Yuan Ge and Li Sheren is endless.
I could only hear Mr. Yuan Ge scolding: "You are a minister who is straight from the inside, colluding with the foreign dynasty, and forming cliques for personal gain. You are really the evil traitor in this world!"
Note: This is to criticize Li You for eating the emperor's salary but not being loyal to the emperor. He only knows how to eat and drink with various yamen and form cliques for personal gain. By the way, he insinuates a certain heavenly official, a certain general constitution and others.
Then I heard Li Sheren retort, "Your Excellency ignores people's expectations, looks at your face, and only caters to Xing Jin. You forget the great meaning of compliments, so why bother!"
Note: This is to criticize Yuan University Scholar for his arrogant attitude towards his colleagues, who only knows how to cater to his superiors, flatter others and make others look down upon him.
At the door outside the hall, there were two young men with gorgeous clothes and impressive appearance. They were listening to the goings-on inside and couldn’t help but give pointers and comments——
"Little Li's voice is not smooth, his words are not sensitive, and his content is not new. He is already at a disadvantage and may lose."
"No, how could Mr. Li lose? Old Man Yuan is destined not to win."
"That's right. There is a strong man behind Mr. Li. It seems that there is a way out. Old Yuan has no retreat. Who can be strong enough to support him again?"
"Yes, Old Man Yuan killed one thousand enemies and suffered eight hundred losses. He can no longer deal with the people behind Mr. Li."
"It seems that as long as Mr. Li drags Old Yuan into the quagmire, he has already won."
"Old Yuan's biggest mistake was that he shouldn't have argued with Mr. Li personally."
"He had eighteen strategies, but he chose the most unsuccessful one..."
The two of them were discussing happily in a high-rise building, when they saw Eunuch Wu, who was beside Princess Guide, slipping out of the palace door quietly. When they blocked the way, he cursed: "What are you doing standing at the door with two pieces of wood? Stay away!"
"
The two Han generals, who were gorgeously dressed and decorated with ceremonial weapons, immediately stepped aside in front of the door with their buttocks dripping with urine. Each held a pumpkin in their hands and stood upright in a majestic and solemn posture.
Eunuch Wu ran all the way to the west. Guide Qiansui had ordered him to go to Cisheng Palace to report to the Queen Mother quickly, so he did not dare to be slow.
But he said that Mr. Yuan Ge really knew his own sufferings. Didn't he know that the dignified scholar went into battle shirtless and quarreled with Li Xiaothief, which was purely self-humiliating?
But since Ma Yushi was his son-in-law, there were many things that only he understood and others didn't, so he had to personally defend himself. Li Xiaothief probably took a fancy to this, so he bit Ma Yushi and wouldn't let him go.
Secondly, most of the people in the palace at the moment are high-ranking officials and noble people, and there are no small people who can serve as pawns for Mr. Yuan Ge.
For example, Jin Shangshu, who has a close relationship with Mr. Yuan Ge, is also a second-grade official. He can help the Allies beat the drum and build momentum, but he will not lose his worth by standing up and cheering for Mr. Yuan Ge at this time. Especially when the horse is not clear.
Is there any scandal about the censor? If Ma censor is really involved, wouldn't he be in trouble for nothing?
Li You, on the other hand, also knew that he was suffering. He had read the scriptures all morning, and his mouth was dry. How could he have enough energy to fight with Mr. Yuan Ge?
Besides, he didn't know much about Mr. Yuan Ge, and he only kept a few things over and over again. But Mr. Yuan Ge seemed to know him very well. In addition to bribing eunuchs, he exposed many topics in succession, which made him clumsy.
For example, he drank with various yamen and solicited prostitutes without paying him, he was arrogant and beat the students in Taixue, and he wasted public money by showing off all the way to Beijing... The faults are not big, they are all minor problems, but they are still there.
Therefore, although Mr. Li unexpectedly gained the upper hand, his follow-up was weak, and he rarely showed some defeat in the scolding battle.
It is said that since the moment he knew that Li You was going to be the winning ticket, Mr. Yuan Ge started to collect details about Li You for future use. However, throwing them out today is a bit wasteful, and it looks more like a farce of mutual criticism.
It is not as lethal as it should be, and it is a pity that the good steel is not used on the blade.
From this perspective, it is also Li You's luck. He lost the tactics but won the strategy, lost the present but won the future.
Now that they have been scolded, some officials are asking, how solemn is the banquet lecture in the Wenhua Hall, with so many ministers present, and those two have lost their dignity and ignored it, and they have to ask the Queen Mother to issue an order?
You must know that the first assistant has been recovering from illness for many years, and the second assistant has become an official. Yuan Ge Lao, a bachelor of Wenhua Palace, is nominally the highest-ranking civil servant in the current imperial court.
He got angry, and there were not many people in the world who were qualified to tell him to shut up, and the only official with such qualifications was the chief minister who had not shown up for several years.
As for the young emperor, he was studying the language skills with great interest and had no intention of trying to break up the fight.
On the right side of the throne were several princes and nobles. After careful consideration, they all felt that since it was the civil servants who were biting each other, they, as wealthy idlers, had better not meddle in other people's affairs and just watch the fun.
Others either didn't have enough weight or had ulterior motives. As a result, no one came forward to dissuade them for a long time. However, Yuan Gelao and Li You were unable to stop, and each refused to show weakness. The quarrel became more and more angry, and they could not hold back their mouths.
But in the end, some people couldn't bear it anymore. An old man with all white hair and beard came out of the queue majestically and shouted: "Li You, get back!"
Hearing that someone was so rude, Li You looked around, his dissatisfied expression immediately turned into one of extreme respect. He bowed his head and obeyed the instructions of the old man and returned to the side of the lecture room.
It's so dangerous, if no one comes out to step up, this scolding battle will end in a disastrous defeat, Li You said happily in his heart.
The old man who came out to scold Li You for retreating was none other than Mr. Lu, the Minister of the Ministry of War. Everyone understood that he was the only one in the whole palace who could come out to break up the fight...
Lu Shangshu is neither the oldest nor the highest-ranking official, but he is the most senior in the court. The so-called seniority, to put it bluntly, refers to the time he has been an official.
Decades ago, Mr. Lu was also a handsome young genius. He became a Jinshi on the Imperial Ranking at the age of sixteen, which made him a sensation. Although he started serving as an official at the age of sixteen, it was very rare. He was not as good as Li You who had great luck.
Mr. Lu has experienced ups and downs in officialdom for forty-four years in three dynasties. This qualification is unique in the current imperial court. He is also the only one in the six ministerial books to have the title of Shaobao.
Take Mr. Yuan Ge as an example. He has been an official for thirty years, so he is very qualified, but compared with Lu Shangshu, he is far behind.
Moreover, Lu Shangshu was an elder from Li Sheren’s hometown, so it was natural for him to scold Li Sheren. Li Sheren dared to scold Mr. Ge, which could be regarded as arrogant and not afraid of the powerful, but he did not dare not to give Lu Shangshu a letter, otherwise his reputation would be ruined.
It sounds great.
Without mentioning the gossip, it was said that after the old minister repelled Li You, he cupped his hands to Yuan Ge Lao Gong and said: "Why should Mr. Ge have the same knowledge as this incompetent bastard? Let's rest for a while and let the Queen Mother make the decision."
In this tone, he was clearly calling Li You a bastard, but in reality, he was just like calling his own son.
Mr. Yuan Ge glared at Li You fiercely and returned to the train. The Wenhua Hall suddenly became quiet, and everyone was waiting for the Queen Mother's decree.
Li Sheren is very self-aware, and he knows that he is about to be unlucky. He, a little Sheren, has committed a crime below and scolded the elder in front of the imperial court. No matter how reasonable it is, it is extremely rude and will definitely be punished. The assistant minister should have the face, even if he is
The Queen Mother must also respect him, and she will inevitably have to take action on him.
But Li You is not nervous. He is not fighting alone. He was personally sent to the throne by Xu Shangshu's powerful forces. The Queen Mother will not ignore this. How can she be dismissed after just two days in office? Besides, he is also from Suzhou, and the Queen Mother
The old man might still miss him a little bit.
So he guessed that no matter how severe the punishment was, he would probably not lose his official position... As long as the official position was still there, he didn't care about other punishments. The worst he could do was continue to work for the Zhu family for a few years in vain.
From then on, I became famous in one battle...Li You, who was not worried about himself, actually still had the time to think about this.
Mr. Yuan Ge was not idle over there. He was thinking about how to add insult to injury and beat the dog in the water. He still had to think of some ways and look for opportunities to knock Li You down in one fell swoop before he could get rid of the bad breath in his chest. Otherwise, Mr. Li would still be allowed to serve in the cabinet.
Swinging around is very frustrating.
Moreover, Mr. Yuan Ge also had to consider how to eliminate the consequences of Li You's slander and frame-up of Ma Yushi. Even if it was false, he was afraid that it would spread and become true.
Not long after, the eunuch of Cisheng Palace, led by Eunuch Wu, hurriedly entered the Wenhua Palace. Everyone knew that it was time for the show to end today, and this eunuch must be the eunuch sent by the Queen Mother to deliver the order.
Under the focused attention of the whole palace, the eunuch who passed the order first kowtowed to the emperor and then reported: "The Queen Mother has decreed that Mr. Yuan and Li Sheren disrupt the Sutra banquet. They are all suspended pending investigation and are introspecting behind closed doors. In addition, Mr. Yuan is exempted from the banquet."
When I went to know the scriptures and banquet, Li Sheren was relieved of his duties as a scholar."
"Jiu" suspended pending investigation? The whole hall was shocked for a while, whispering and talking among themselves. Everyone was even more shocked than when they heard the "inside story" that Ma Yushi had framed Master Shi.
The Queen Mother actually treated two completely unequal characters, Yuan Ge Lao and Li You, equally, and suspended them both from their posts after they each hit fifty boards?
It doesn't matter if Li Sheren keeps his official position. Mr. Yuan Ge is a bachelor in the cabinet. If he was placed in the previous dynasty, he would be the prime minister. How can he deal with it casually with Li You? There should be preferential treatment on the surface.
Yes, how can the little Zhongshu family treat it together?
Today in the Wenhua Hall, for the dignitaries who are used to witnessing the important events of their family and country, it is not a big show, but it is full of twists and turns, and it is interesting to see all kinds of things in the world. Unexpectedly, when the curtain call came, there was another wave of surprises that surprised everyone.
An unexpected ending, and a long-lasting ending.
When the game was over, Jin Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites had mixed feelings, and he said to Xu Shangshu of the Ministry of Civil Affairs next to him: "I have heard that Xu Xiandi played a good game of chess. Today, he has lived up to his reputation and used a small family to redeem the great scholar."
I really didn’t ask Li You to go have a seizure... Xu Shangshu thought and said calmly: "Brother Jin is serious."
Consort Lin secretly speculated and consciously discovered the truth. His wife assigned Eunuch Wu to report to Cisheng Palace. It was definitely up to no good and must have been slanderous in the ears of the Queen Mother. It was a pity that Mr. Yuan Ge, a loyal and good minister, was actually betrayed by an adulterer.
