It is said that Li Zhongshu was so angry that he left the house in anger due to Gui Deqiantai, so Consort Lin saw off the guests as the host. In fact, it was mainly to appreciate Mr. Li's depressed expression.
This was so beautiful. Lin's consort unknowingly kept sending Li You out of the door and said goodbye with a pity. He looked like a courteous and virtuous corporal. How can ordinary people be worthy of seeing off their consort like this? At least he must be at the level of a minister. Today is an exception.
Already.
Standing at the gate, Li You felt a little regretful. It was written in countless novice textbooks that politics means compromise (provided that you can't deal with the other party), and his performance just now was really immature.
Are you going to go back to the grass? Forget it, I can’t afford to lose face in front of women. Li You comforted himself in his heart, if he could use this to make a clean break with the eldest princess, it might not be a bad thing, so as to avoid having to deal with difficulties between the inner court and the outer court all day long.
choice.
He remembered that on the same cold night at the end of last month, His Highness Chitose, dressed in men's clothing, turned around and said to him, "See you soon." He was looking forward to it a little bit. Now it seems that it is not worth looking forward to, and there is still no hope for the future.
Good.
But the suffocation in his chest always lingered, so Li You picked up a sharp stone chip from the ground, and with the help of moonlight and lamplight, he drew words on the red lacquer door of the Prince Consort's Mansion: Xujiang Li You and Lin Prince Consort broke off their relationship and rewritten it
Banque imitates the ancient Mulan poem, if life is just like the first time we met, why is the autumn wind sad and painted on the fan, it is easy to change the heart of the old man, but the heart of the old man is easy to change!
After writing, he threw away the tiles, laughed three times and left.
When someone came to visit Consort Lin the next day, he saw the mark on the door and lamented to the owner: "I thought this word was about the decisive relationship between a man and a woman, but it was all superficial. Now I know that it is a metaphor for the separation of friends, and the comparison is wonderful.
! Brother Lin Xian is going to leave his name and pass it on to the world! By the way, how about giving this door panel to me?"
You are just superficial! In fact, this is the meaning of determination between men and women! Consort Lin could only hide his thoughts in his heart silently. Of course, the door panel cannot be given away, because it does not belong to him at all, and it is not at his disposal.
I didn’t mention it later, but said that when Li You returned home and thought about his impeachment, Li You couldn’t help but criticize Mr. Zhao Liangren in his heart. As the censor of Zuodu, he spoke to the censor.
His control is very problematic. Is it because he has been in office for a short time?
Xu Tianguan is several years younger than Mr. Zhao and is already the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel. The next step is to wait for the public's expectation to join the cabinet and worship the prime minister. Mr. Zhao has just been appointed as the Zuodu Censor of the same level this year. Even for this Zuodu Censor, he even
My younger brother is suppressed at home to avoid speech. In comparison, the difference in life is really big.
In fact, this was also blamed by Li Youqiuquan. No matter who served as the censor of Zuodu, it was impossible to completely control the mouths of all officials. There were about 150 Like Taoist officials in the capital, and they came from all over the world, most of them
Who prides himself on being a clean stream, who has the ability to take care of everything? Unless he has the aura of a protagonist.
Moreover, the official position of Kedao largely determines the direction of public opinion. Due to some tacit principle, the imperial court will not allow a person who can completely control the official position to serve as the censor of Zuodu. Otherwise, there will be public opinion, and there will be no consequences.
Is it possible to deceive the Holy Spirit?
After Li You complained about Zhao Liangren, he was worried about how to deal with the matter of impeachment. Those officials clung to the word "examination" in the suspension pending investigation, which was very annoying. He was publicly pointed out by Yuan Ge Lao for a lot of so-called misdeeds
, and really gave others a handle.
Thinking of Mr. Yuan Ge, Li Zhongshu suddenly had an idea, so there is no need to bother all the backers. Besides, it is difficult to say whether it will be effective to ask the big bosses to come forward. Even if you are so powerful that you have settled 149 officials, as long as there is one
If I personally risk my life to impeach you, then I still impeach...
Those who are intimidated are afraid of those who are stunned, and those who are stunned are afraid of their lives. This rule is also applicable in the officialdom at certain times. Back then, Hai Rui and Hai Qingtian were so single-handed that everyone was helpless.
The next day, the ninth day of the lunar month, there was an early morning court. Everything went through the formalities as usual. After the court meeting, Empress Dowager Cisheng issued an order to meet with the ministers in Wuying Hall.
More than 200 years ago, after the court meeting had too many people and lost its decision-making function, face-to-face consultation between the monarch and his ministers became a form of decision-making that replaced the court meeting. The scope of this group of people was much smaller, and they were usually academicians and nine ministers. After the court meeting, there were
People who report important matters can also participate, which is equivalent to a court meeting to a certain extent.
However, since the Chenghua Dynasty, even this kind of face-to-face negotiation between emperors and ministers has become a luxury. Except for the occasional emperors like Xiaozong and Yizong, in most cases, the emperor's family is thousands of miles away, and his appearance is hard to see.
In the present Jinghe Dynasty, the Empress Dowager Cisheng, who is in charge of the emperor, is wise and virtuous, and relies heavily on ministers, so she often convenes ministers in Wuying Hall to discuss matters. It is probably because of the backlog of some government affairs during the Shengshou Festival last month, so
Today the Queen Mother came to the Wuying Hall after the morning court to attend to matters.
Mr. Li, as the secretary of the ticket division, must be familiar with the political trends. At this time, he was also fortunate to enter the Wuying Palace and was located at the end of the train.
A thin beaded curtain in the hall separated the Empress Dowager Cisheng from the ministers. After taking a fresh look, Li You thought, this can be regarded as the legendary hanging curtain to listen to politics.
When the Queen Mother came to the palace, all the ministers had finished their ceremony, so there is no need to go into details.
During the discussion, several unresolved matters in the recent past were first decided. The cabinet always had Mr. Yuan Ge to answer the questions. Because these matters were relatively difficult, Li You assigned them to Mr. Yuan Ge without any courtesy.
Seeing Yuan Ge Lao go out to report and receive orders again and again, as if he was the head of the cabinet, Li You had mixed feelings in his heart. He had caused all this with his own hands.
No matter whether Mr. Yuan Ge's level is high or low, whether his government affairs performance is good or bad, even if it is so bad that it attracts a lot of scolding, as long as this situation continues in the future, it will really build momentum for Mr. Yuan Ge...
After all, people from Zhongshu She are just people from Zhongshu, and a bachelor is still a bachelor after all. Li You secretly shook his head and sighed. From this incident, he can see that his knowledge and realm are still insufficient. What is the practicality of being intoxicated with suppressing the vanity of the elder?
significance?
It seems that things are going to change in the future. When Mr. Li was thinking about how to implement the revisionist line, the Queen Mother ordered the internal eunuch to pass a memorandum. After reading it, every important minister invariably took a look at the inner court, which had been quite prosperous recently.
Newcomer Li You.
No matter how stupid you are, you can guess the content of the memorial. Li You can be sure that it must be the one he saw at the Prince Consort's Mansion yesterday.
A supervisory censor of Henan Province came out and said: "As it is said in the book, Li Youxing has some misdeeds and is listed in the central committee for investigation. I, Henan Province, have been posting for half a month and refused to come to the hall. This is arrogant and helpless.
The petition! Your Majesty Wang Qinian and others will beg the Holy Order again!"
Smart people can tell that there is a bit of word play here. The Queen Mother did have a decree to suspend Li You pending review, and later reinstated Li You. But from a literal point of view, reinstatement only means not suspending, not saying no.
The survey was completed, otherwise it should have been reinstated and suspended.
For many years, the imperial edicts have canceled the punishment of being suspended from duty as long as they are reinstated, and everyone has always thought so. What is not investigated is just a formality. No one is trying to catch this loophole, but unexpectedly today
An exception occurred, and there is something inside.
Li You, who was impeached by the court, looked at his eyes and nose, his nose and his heart, his breath dropped from his Dantian, and he stood silently. It was useless to say anything at this time. The key was to see the Queen Mother's attitude first. As long as she said "Stop the investigation here"
", then nothing will happen.
But Li You estimated that this sentence was a bit crude and crude to the speaker. The Queen Mother would not say it easily out of political correctness, and his weight was not enough for the Queen Mother to say this.
Another official reported to the official: "I also agree with the proposal. Fortunately, the sycophants came forward and once they became powerful, they caused harm to the inner court and caused chaos in the temples (three hundred words are omitted below)..."
No matter how thick-skinned Mr. Li was, he couldn't bear the scolding, so he had to reluctantly move out of the queue, and as usual, he kowtowed without his crown as a sign of punishment.
What is the sign once the officials gather in groups? All the officials in the palace are veterans in the officialdom, and who doesn’t know it. At this time, the most rejoicing person is that Yuan Ge is old, and he feels very happy. He secretly said that evil people still need to be punished by evil people, Li
You little thief, you have your day! Even if I can't control you, there are other upright people who can't stand you!
The Queen Mother did not seek the opinions of the ministers first as usual, but ordered from behind the curtain: "Please defend yourself in front of Li Youting."
Li You immediately said loudly: "Three people become tigers. I can't argue with you. I can only ask for the Holy Judgment! Another thing I don't know is unclear. On that day, Mr. Yuan Ge and my ministers both received the Holy Judgment. Why did the princes of Taiyuan
I only want to serve my ministers, but I treat the cabinet minister as if I don’t see anything and I have eyes like a blind person? How can this convince people’s hearts!”
When they heard that Li You did not defend himself, but suddenly brought up Mr. Yuan Ge, everyone remembered that it seemed that Mr. Yuan Ge and Li You had been punished together for the same crime.
They were both suspended from their posts and treated with disgrace, but these officials only dared to hold on to the little seventh-rank scholar, but ignored the senior scholar in the university. It was indeed an ugly look to bully the weak and fear the strong.
Mr. Yuan Ge, who was enjoying his enemy's joke, suddenly changed his expression. If he hadn't been afraid of losing etiquette in the palace, he would definitely have stepped forward, grabbed Li You, and cursed him. He was indeed a shameless person! He fell down.
You don’t forget to drag me into the water with you! What kind of qualities!?
Several of the most scheming bosses knew it after a moment's thought. Li You's attempt to grab Mr. Yuan Ge was definitely not without purpose. It was obvious that he intended to kidnap Mr. Yuan Ge. He wanted to bring misfortune together and bring misfortune together, and he wanted to be safe together.
If the imperial court can deal with a seventh-grade official casually, then it is not so easy to deal with a bachelor. It may not matter what the elder is like, but the sudden chain shock at the highest level will make anyone unprepared
It's hard to grasp, and I don't dare to try it easily without a sure strategy.
Therefore, for the sake of the overall situation, it is only right to let Li You and Yuan Ge Lao go gently, and this matter should end here.
The ministers relaxed and began to prepare to disperse and return to the Yamen. However, Wang Qinian, the imperial censor who had previously impeached Li You, spoke again, took out the memorial from his sleeve and said: "I know that I made this omission, so I drafted a new memorial yesterday.
This is why I and twenty-three people jointly impeach Yuan Lide, a scholar of Wenhua Palace, and Li Youshu, a member of Zhongshushe."
Hearing this, there was a commotion in Wuying Palace. If it was just a small fight before, then something big happened this time!
Li You looked back in shock. He was really a little panicked. The other party had actually calculated to this point and was truly prepared! The twenty-three people signed up, which is almost one-sixth of all the science and technology officials! This
The battle was designed to kill him.
Confused by the calmness of this period of time, Li You thought to himself. It was just a calm sea, and the waves were just as rough underneath. As expected, the inner palace was full of swords, swords, and conspiracies!
At the same time, another thought ran into Li You's mind uncontrollably. Yesterday, he wrongfully accused Guide Chitose!
Mr. Yuan Ge's political attitude is leaning toward the royal family, and he is very cooperative with Chitose Guide. The eldest princess will not abolish him no matter what. At the same time, His Royal Highness Chitose has no reason to kill him. Therefore, he will definitely be impeached this time.
It's not the eldest princess's handiwork.
Thinking of this, Li Zhongshu was about to cry without tears. Yesterday, His Highness Chitose probably got the warning from somewhere and wanted to sell him well. Maybe he wanted to help, but he was stupidly misunderstood.
In order to vent his anger, he even carved half a sentence of severance on the door for her to see... Thinking about it now, this is simply cutting off the strong support and destroying the Great Wall.
Li You's mind was in confusion when he heard the Empress Dowager Cisheng saying: "Read it!"
After receiving the decree, Wang Qinian, the imperial censor, unfolded the memorial and read it loudly with a cold face.
The content is nothing more than listing the crimes of Li You and Yuan Ge Lao. The specific names are not very important. Many of them are lines used by Li You and Yuan Ge Lao when they threw dirty water at each other in the Wenhua Palace.
Also added some less fresh ingredients.
However, there are still some fresh and shocking information. For example, a certain Wenhua Palace scholar and a certain middle school scholar have insidious characters and act deceitfully. They are enemies of the enemy but are selfish, deceiving the imperial court and colluding with each other to monopolize the power to control state affairs.
So much so that a cabinet vote lord has emerged...
Hearing this, one of the parties involved, Yuan Ge Lao, who was trying his best to calm down, suddenly felt furious. As for other things, Wang Qinian actually accused him of colluding with Li Xiaothief to usurp power. The sky will be clear, the sky will be clear!
After reading it, Wang Qinian handed the memorial to the internal eunuch and went to the queue. Then it was Yuan Ge Lao's turn to come out and kowtow without his hat, giving him the same treatment as Li Zhongshu.
At this time, Wuying Hall was quiet, there was no sound, and everyone was silent.
If it were Li You's own matter, it would be impossible for someone like Lu Shangshu to come out and make some excuses, but it would be inconvenient for Xu Shangshu and Zhao Zongxian to avoid suspicion.
But when it comes to the current civil servants who are nominally ranked first among the civil servants, the situation becomes complicated. When things happen suddenly, no one will speak up when they can't clearly see the situation. This is twenty-three people.
The two officials jointly signed it. Besides, the leading censor, Wang Qinian, had not been promoted for many years and was often angry and depressed, biting people to the point of risking their lives.
Li You regretted that it was too late for him to get hold of Yuan Ge Lao. The other party was waiting for him here, or in other words, even if he didn't drag Yuan Ge Lao into trouble, the other party would find a way to do so. He has been thinking hard, who is this person?
Who is it?
In fact, this matter involves so many people, and it is impossible to hide who is behind it, but Li You can't wait until then. He couldn't help but think of an eternal truth, the biggest beneficiary is the biggest suspect...
If he and Yuan Ge are both unlucky, who will be the biggest beneficiary?
Li You glanced at the big bosses at the front of the class train with the corner of his eye. After a few back and forth, he locked on one of them - the Crown Prince Taibao, the Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue, Peng Shichun, the academician of Wuyingdian. Currently, his position is second only to Yuan Ge.
Lao. This man has a reputation for integrity and a good reputation. Li You has heard that he seemed to have been a public official back then, and he had great hopes for science...
