Chapter 233 Just come and ask me

Chapter 233 Just come and beg me

The Wenhua Hall Sutra Banquet on October 22nd inadvertently became a battle to establish Li You's reputation in the court.

Although Li Sheren and Yuan Ge Lao fought until both sides lost and were suspended from their posts together, it would not be an exaggeration to say that they both perished together, but they were truly equal and honorable.

For a time, Li You's reputation became famous in the officialdom of the capital. Everyone knew that there was a seventh-grade warrior in the inner court who could defeat the Prime Minister. Especially, this Prime Minister was the highest-ranked Wenhua Palace Scholar among the four Grand Scholars in the Imperial Palace.

But people are afraid of being famous, and pigs are afraid of being strong. On the 23rd, eleven memorials were written to impeach Li You. On the other hand, Mr. Yuan Ge was still treated better than Li Sheren, and fourteen memorials were written to impeach him.

Flies don't bite seamless eggs. Li You and Mr. Yuan Ge threw dirt on each other in public in public, which provided good material for the officials who had heard about it. After hearing so many bad deeds, I'm sorry for not impeaching them.

It is your profession, if you don’t impeach, you will be derelict in your duties.

At first, Li You didn't know about this. He slept at home all day and ignored external affairs, making up for the sleep he had missed in the past few days. In the evening, he went to invite Zhu Bulang to drink, hoping to find out the sound of the wind in the palace.

The location is still Mr. Xiao Ji's restaurant, which is decorated with Li Caizi's masterpieces. Compared with the last time, there is an additional poem about the big tree.

After sitting down, Zhu Bulang said bluntly: "You should change your temper. How can you act so unruly in the temple? No one who pretends to be a celebrity in the court starts well and ends well. I don't want to see you end up miserable!"

"

Li You was speechless. He felt that his words and deeds in the palace yesterday had damaged his image. At this time, he planned to explain first and repair his image.

Unexpectedly, Mr. Zhu Fanghe had already taken the initiative to come up with an excuse and regarded his behavior as a celebrity's arrogance... Why is the first impression important in interpersonal relationships? What is preconception? This is a typical example.

That's fine, he saved his breath and Li You hurriedly said: "Be taught, be taught."

Then I heard Zhu Bulang warn: "Don't you know that many people are impeaching you today? It's better to be careful."

Li You was really surprised by this. Although he knew several censors and had been punished by Chen Xundao, he had never faced the entire supervisory system seriously, but he didn't want to become the target of a group of attacks today.

Mr. Li's first feeling was that he was flattered. If you were not famous, you would not receive such swarming treatment. Censor, you are trying to gain fame for others.

It is not accurate to simply say that this kind of frivolous impeachment is important or unimportant. The key lies in whether it is important or not. Li You then asked: "What on earth do Cisheng Palace think? I thought that trivial matters would only serve as a warning."

, fined me a salary, but gave me a suspension pending review, and did not mention a time limit. I was suspended only two and a half days after taking office, which makes me sad and puzzled."

Zhu Bulang sneered: "Are you still sad and puzzled? Yuan Ge, the old and dignified prime minister, has been suspended from office together with you. Shouldn't he commit suicide by throwing himself into a trap?"

He added: "The Holy Mother's birthday is approaching, and she wants to fast and meditate for three days. She will not see the ministers or read the chapter. If you ask me, I don't know her thoughts."

Li You said helplessly: "Today's dinner is a waste of time."

However, Zhu Bulang still had something to ask Li You, "The eldest princess has always been strict internally and lenient externally. She likes to be kind to foreign ministers and courteous to virtuous ministers. Why were you so openly aggressive with you yesterday? You dared to argue with a bachelor in court, but you

The fear and cowardice of Chitose baffles me."

Li You made up some reasons, "I want to earn a title of personal guard for my children and grandchildren, and I want to ask Chitose. Furthermore, Chitose may want the post of secretary of state."

Zhu Bulang suddenly realized: "The right to divide votes should actually belong to the king. Now it is in the hands of ministers, and no one wants to get it. It is like the right to select officials, which is fiercely contested by both internal and external parties. Chitose is very worried about this.

, not surprising.”

At this point, Li You vomited out the question that had been doubtful in his mind for a long time, and it was also a very taboo question. "His Royal Highness Qiantose is a female generation who does not live in peace with her husband and raise her children, so why does she show up in public and exercise power? Why did the late emperor praise her so much?

She? This dynasty has never seen anything like this before, what can she gain?"

Zhu Bulang was silent for a moment, sent all the attendants away, and said in a low voice: "I also heard a few rumors in the palace. Back then, the old emperor's dragon body was not hesitant, but now he is in his prime. The old emperor is not aware of it.

For a long time, I have been worried about whether the master is weak, the minister is strong, or the master is young and the mother is strong. Seeing that the eldest princess has a strong and decisive nature, I entrusted her to take care of me. How dare I not do my best at this age? Let alone the affairs in the palace, before the late emperor left, the court

Among them, there are a group of people who were promoted by Chitose as a foundation, although the number is not large."

What Mr. Fanghe said was not detailed, but Li You could guess a lot of the inside story based on it.

Eighty percent of the time, the late emperor was more suspicious and had more complicated thoughts about what would happen after his death. He was worried that powerful officials would bully orphans and widowed mothers; he was also worried that the queen would not care about the Zhu family when she was in charge of politics. After all, she was a daughter with a foreign surname; and she was even more afraid to let the same clan surname assist her son.

.

Therefore, the former emperor had no choice but to let his closest and most trusted daughter, Sasuke, protect the little emperor and provide her with various conveniences. Under the Ming Dynasty system, no matter how much a princess tried, she would never be able to threaten the emperor or usurp the government.

, and the surname is Zhu, which makes the late emperor feel more at ease.

The affairs of the emperor's family are really... Li You shook his head and sighed. He always thought that the eldest princess was fighting for power, but now it seems that she is worried about the younger brother who is the emperor.

The next day, Li You went to the Metropolitan Procuratorate to visit General Zhao. Those censor bullets were always a problem, so it would be a good idea to ask Zuo Du Censor to help suppress them.

However, Mr. Zhao said there was no way.

More than a hundred supervisory censors have the power to report secretly, and they are very independent in business. If there are any matters, they can directly report to the king without going through the censorship, and the censors of Zuodu cannot intervene forcibly in the middle.

As the head of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the Zuodu Censor's responsibility is to dispatch thirteen errands to supervise the Censor and patrol the Censor, as well as summarize the errands of each censor and evaluate their tenure. There are also some senior governors who are also the Censor in name.

Officials assigned to the hospital.

It can be seen that the influence of the Zuodu Censor on the ordinary supervisory censors mainly lies in the deployment and assessment. However, in principle, the Zuodu Censor does not interfere with how the supervisory censors act during their tenure.

However, principles are principles. The affairs of the state and the dynasty have always been based on people's preferences. If the censor of Zuodu, who holds the power of assessment and dispatch, wants to directly command and supervise the censor's actions, of course he can do it.

But there is also a situation where there are a large number of supervisory censors. As the mouthpiece, ears and eyes of the imperial court, they are a must-have for the big bosses. It is euphemistically called the hope of cultivating science and education. Therefore, the group of censors has many internal hills and factions.

Very complex.

Even if you are the censor of Zuodu, it is not surprising that there are a large number of close censors who follow the lead, but it is impossible to suppress all the censors and not allow them to do anything, otherwise they will wait to be attacked and blocked, and they will resign and step down. More

Not to mention the word science and education, Zhao Zongxian cannot reach him except the censor and the minister.

In the end, Mr. Li was scolded by Mr. Zongxian: "I should try my best to excuse you. If you behave upright, sit upright, and guard against the gradual decline of Du, why should you be afraid?"

What fun can there be in life in an era when Li You only wanders around the world of astronomy?

It was not until before parting that Mr. Zhao calmly talked about the business with Li You, "Although there are many people impeaching Mr. Yuan Ge, it is not surprising. It is normal. There is something unusual about the person impeaching you."

"I would like to hear the details." Li You cheered up and asked for advice.

"Based on my guess, there seems to be a shadow of Gui De Qiansui."

Li You was very shocked. He always thought that he was impeached in batches because he became famous, so he enjoyed the same treatment as the cabinet minister and became the target of Ke Dao Qingliu's group to gain reputation.

But listening to Zhao Zongxian's tone, it was not like that, but Princess Guide deliberately formed a group to swipe him. Mr. Zhao has been immersed in the supervisory industry for many years, and he is very familiar with all kinds of details. His judgment

You can't go wrong...

Zhao Zongxian frowned and said: "I was puzzled in the Wenhua Palace. Guide Chitose had already acquiesced to the matter of splitting the votes, and there was no objection after that. Why did you go against your promise the day before yesterday and press forward step by step? It seems that there is something wrong with you.

Reliance. In the past two days, I have secretly instructed the officials to impeach you."

"It's hard to raise a villain and a woman!" Li You gritted his teeth and said, "It's normal for women to have fickle minds."

"You should have time to read more! People are not stupid. It is better to create a reputation for literary talent in addition to poetry. Don't always let others talk about things based on this, making you indefensible."

When Li You left the Metropolitan Procuratorate, he was filled with grief and anger when he thought of Princess Guide. I bet the man behind his impeachment was His Highness Chitose!

It was obviously me who was forcibly dragged into Nuan Pavilion by you, so what? I am so generous-minded that I didn’t think about revenge with grudges, so why are you in trouble everywhere as if you have a deep hatred? It’s too much, you really want to kill them all?

Li You returned to his apartment gloomily. Han Zong, who had stayed behind, stepped forward to report: "Just now, the prince-in-law from Guide came for a visit. When he saw that he was not around, he left. He only left a few words."

Lin Consort? What is he here for? Li You is confused. "What message did he leave?"

"He said that the Emperor personally begged the Queen Mother today and promised Mr. Yuan Ge to resume his duties tomorrow."

Li You is even more inexplicable... Is there something wrong with Lin's consort? He went to his "enemy"'s house just to spread some court gossip? Is it to laugh at him for not being reinstated with Mr. Yuan Ge? Is this a crime?

Zhang San on the side said with his tongue: "The relationship between the master and the consort is really good, and he came in person to convey the secrets of the palace in such a timely manner."

I have a shitty relationship with him... Li You cursed in his heart. Suddenly, an idea flashed across his face. With Lin's consort's temperament, he would definitely not want to see him, let alone come over for such a boring thing. Can he be forced to act like this?

Yes, I’m afraid it’s only His Highness Chitose?

In other words, the words about Mr. Yuan Ge’s reinstatement were conveyed to him by the consort sent by Princess Guide?

The more I think about it, the more likely it is that Princess Guide will definitely arouse all kinds of suspicions if she has direct contact with him. On this kind of issue, even the maids of the inner prison around her are not trustworthy. But the consort comes and goes with him,

It won't arouse people's imagination, and the consort himself already knows about the adultery, so it doesn't matter whether he is reverie or not. That's why Chitose sent Lin's consort to act as a cover-up.

But what's the point of passing this sentence? Li You thought hard for a quarter of an hour, then slammed the table and said: "This is forcing me to beg her!"

In the Wenhua Palace the day before yesterday, Gui De Chitose sent Eunuch Wu to report to the Queen Mother. No one paid attention to it. The Queen Mother must be asked to deal with it. Who would be different? But the Queen Mother unexpectedly suspended Mr. Yuan Ge and Li You.

Now Li You can conclude that the events at the Wenhua Palace, including his own impeachment, must be Guide Chitose's plans and methods, creating opportunities for the emperor.

Today, the emperor personally intercedes with the Queen Mother for Mr. Yuan Ge. Doesn't it mean that he is showing kindness to Mr. Yuan Ge? It can further consolidate the relationship between the monarch and his ministers.

But the emperor can intercede on behalf of Mr. Yuan Ge, but who has enough weight to intercede on behalf of Li You? Not to mention that the Queen Mother has not seen foreign ministers in the past few days, and it is estimated that only the emperor and Princess Guide can visit her at will.

Therefore, Chitose Chitose's hint when she asked the consort to send a message was - Do you want to be reinstated? Do you want to avoid the trouble of being impeached? Just come and ask me.
