Two hundred and forty-ninth chapters everyone's sleepless night
It is said that Li You couldn't laugh or cry when he heard Miss Cheng Saiyu's outrageous method of "repaying kindness" and didn't know what to say.
"This won't work!" Li You straightened out his thoughts and refused. Accepting it is definitely unacceptable. A sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl wants to worship her 16-year-old adoptive father. These are all random thoughts that come from nowhere. She also
He is only one or two years younger than me, how can he be so naive?
Li You couldn't help but sigh in his heart, only such an innocent mind would have thought of using him to become a famous prostitute, and then get acquainted with dignitaries and seek revenge from Pengge's hometown. If it were in his previous life, Li You would definitely think that she
I’ve read too many time-travel novels with female protagonists, and I’ve become addicted.
I have to say that Mrs. Cheng is so "cute". Li You can conclude that even Xiaozhu, who is younger than her, would not be so pure. When Xiaozhu, who was thirteen years old, first came into the house, there was "City City"
The maid always sleeps with the master at night."
While praying for Mr. Li, who is alone in Beijing and has no one to warm his bed, he is also thinking about reuniting with his old acquaintance Wang Qinian. There are not too many such beautiful things in the world. In fact, it cannot be said that there are no such advanced deeds, and they are all mentioned in various books.
For people to pay homage to, Liu Xiahui is still sitting in her arms, Zhao Kuangyin travels thousands of miles to see Jing Niang and so on...
However, Mr. Li does not seem to be a noble person, and he does not really want to be famous in this regard. It is probably very uncomfortable to be pointed out by future generations and suspected of being incompetent in certain aspects.
When Cheng Saiyu thought of Wang Qinian, Li You suppressed his lustful thoughts for a while and began to wonder again, what exactly did Wang Yushi have in mind? The answer was still shrouded in mystery, making it impossible for him to guess. From what aspect should he think about it?
But in a second thought, he had an idea and tried to test Cheng Saiyu: "Did Wang Yushi ever tell you not to reveal him to me?"
If Wang Qinian does not intend to conceal himself, that is one situation; if he attempts to conceal himself, that is another situation.
Mrs. Cheng was so surprised that her eyes widened, "This, this, how did Mr. Li know?"
So that's it... Li You thought for a while, and estimated that Wang Qinian had given the same instructions to Qin Sile, but he was forced to find out the details. He also sighed, be more suspicious when things happen in officialdom, think more about why,
It's always true.
Under normal circumstances, Wang Yushi instructed Qin Sile and Miss Cheng to contribute black materials that were useful to Mr. Li. They should show their favor and ask Li You to thank him, but why should they be secretive?
Doing good deeds without leaving a name, considering Mr. Li's impure heart, it can only mean that it is an abnormal situation.
"Since Wang Yushi doesn't want to reveal himself, he has his reasons. But I have already guessed it, so I have to pretend not to know. It's best for you and your uncle to pretend not to know, lest Wang Yushi leaks anything to you.
Not happy."
As if Mr. Li was thinking about her very much, Mrs. Cheng nodded movedly and said: "Okay, the slave family will never tell anyone, and the Wang family brother will not know this."
Li You resisted the urge to stay overnight and saw off the guests. Although beauty was tempting, official position was more important, and he always firmly grasped this principle. Besides, he had this confidence that Mrs. Cheng could not escape the palm of his hand.
The next day, Li You finished his official business at the cabinet. He held the two hundred salt stamps that he had asked for as evidence from Mrs. Cheng, and studied how to make better use of the Cheng family's affairs. However, he heard the Queen Mother's decree coming from the palace.
The morning court on the third day was held as usual, and after the court attendance was completed, matters were discussed in Wuying Hall.
This is not something worth paying attention to. But you must know that the court meetings have been canceled several times in a row. Under this background, it seems to have different meanings for the court meetings to be held normally, not to mention that there are still Wuying Hall discussions. The meaning is
It's worth studying in detail.
There are several questions in everyone's mind. Could it be that Cisheng Palace is going to take action? If so, the last moment of this court battle is coming. At this juncture, many people had insomnia symptoms the night before, worrying about gains and losses.
Peng Ge, the great scholar of Wuyingdian, sat in his study and reflected deeply on this imperial dispute. According to his preconceptions, Hezonglianheng suddenly attacked, and the opponent was just a small seventh-grade, so it should be like Mount Tai pressing down on the top, and the autumn wind falling leaves, sweeping across that place.
Li Youru rolled up the banquet and suppressed Mr. Yuan Ge by the way.
But now, two decades have passed, but there is still no victory, and Mr. Li is still active in the cabinet. Thinking about it carefully, the main reason is that he underestimated two points.
The first is that they underestimated the strength of support behind Li You. Although Xu Shangshu and others appeared calm on the surface except for their initial statements. But those who are good at fighting have no outstanding achievements, but even the three-digit bullets on his side cannot overwhelm him.
Li You. As long as Li You doesn't fall, Mr. Yuan Ge, who was forcibly tied together, can continue to live freely (this makes Mr. Li very unhappy and helpless).
The second is that he underestimated the thickness of Li You's face. He still clung to his past despite all the scoldings, without any sense of shame to ask for help.
What will be the outcome of the Wuying Palace meeting tomorrow? Mr. Peng Ge repeatedly deduced several possibilities and envisioned several countermeasures.
In any case, the prime minister in the eyes of others definitely does not want a ticket-splitting secretary to dominate him! Otherwise, he would rather not be this great bachelor.
For some reason, Mr. Peng Ge felt a little uneasy, and he couldn't explain where the uneasiness came from. He couldn't help but laugh at himself, am I still afraid of a seventh-grade savior? What he didn't expect was that the biggest crisis actually came from the people around him.
Wang Qinian and Wang Yushi.
Wang Qinian, the censor of the Henan Province of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, was also in his study room with his thoughts flying. As the planner, initiator and traitor of this imperial struggle, he was trembling with excitement.
All the great bachelors and middle school scholars are stepping stones for his royal censor! Everything is under control, and tomorrow will be his day to make his mark!
Wang Qinian had a close relationship with Mr. Peng Ge. His teacher was a student of Mr. Peng Ge, so he could be considered a disciple of Mr. Peng Ge. Unfortunately, after becoming the censor, his official career was not smooth due to various reasons, and he was almost finished with his qualifications.
Now that I am experienced, depression is depression, but I still have to find a way out.
It was he who saw the situation correctly at the end of last month and successfully persuaded Mr. Peng Ge to initiate this imperial struggle and acted as a vanguard. His personal goal is very simple, which is to aim at Li You's current position. He wants to be Wang Zhongshu.
It seems very embarrassing to go from Yushi to Zhongshusheren, but officials should not laugh at Wang Yushi for not making progress. Although Zhongshusheren is much worse than Qingliu Yushi in terms of status, Wang Qinian truly realized the greatness of the new sub-ticket Zhongshu
Development potential, and the real authority of this position.
Look at how high-spirited Mr. Li, the first secretary of the ticket division, is now. Mr. Wang is stimulated by all kinds of envy, jealousy and hatred, and would rather give up the censor who has become useless to him. For some reason, Mr. Peng Ge,
There is also a promise that as long as Li You is killed, he will work with Mr. Xu Ge to recommend Wang Qinian to be re-elected as the sub-ticket secretary.
If it continues like this, the plot will be much simpler.
But on a dark and stormy night, a certain eldest princess who had not been seen for a long time and was temporarily forgotten by both sides of the court, who seemed to be so angered by Li You that she stood by and watched, secretly sent a message to Wang Qinian, the censor...
Don’t be surprised, with a certain thousand-year-old’s means and thoughts, how could he really take advantage of the opportunity to make a profit?
The few words passed by the eldest princess immediately changed the original trajectory of the matter, and the script began to develop in a direction that no one involved in the game could predict.
"Master Wang, after you enter the cabinet, are you willing to be the Li You you are today, or will you continue to be a lackey under Peng Ge Lao's family who has not been promoted for seven or eight years?" the eldest princess's envoy said sincerely to Wang Qinian, the censor.
I have to say that this sentence is very magical, and it immediately opened a door of darkness in Wang Yushi's heart. But Wang Yushi himself felt that he was enlightened, fully enlightened, able to distinguish right from wrong, and see through the truth...
What does Li You look like today? He is an arrogant character who can suppress any great scholar, and this is also Wang Qinian's goal.
But what if he wants to be invoked by Mr. Peng Ge to become the secretary of the branch of the vote? Then he enters the cabinet, and after becoming the secretary of the branch of the vote, he is still the lackey of Mr. Peng Ge. He does everything as if he is an official. It is really meaningless. How can he be where he is today?
Is Li You so beautiful?
In front of the eldest princess's envoy, Wang Qinian thought carefully again and realized something. The reason why Li You was famous was because his superiors were not in the cabinet, so he dared to act unscrupulously in the cabinet. The more he danced, the more his backers had to protect him.
he.
A smart person can tell. Wang Yushi realized deeply that if you want to be the secretary of the vote-sharing committee with the backing of a bachelor, it is just like seeking the skin of a tiger. If you want to be the secretary of the vote-sharing committee who is truly in power, you must find strong support outside the cabinet.
It is king to form an internal and external echo...for example, the emperor represents the future.
After weighing the situation clearly, Wang Yushi said to the envoy of the eldest princess: "I am willing to serve you as a pommel horse. There was an old case back then, and I always keep it in my heart..."
Wang Qinian knew that Peng Ge was always a thorn in Guide Chitose's side. In order to express his loyalty, he needed to find some certificates of surrender. The Cheng family's affairs were a good material. Back then, he carefully inquired about the causes and consequences, but for various selfish reasons, there was nothing
Just an action.
The messenger from the eldest princess gave Wang Qinian reassurance: "Thousand years old has something to say. If Mr. Wang knows the truth, she will definitely recommend you to the Holy Mother as the new secretary of the ticket division."
Thinking of this, Wang Qinian, who was sitting alone in the study, sneered a few times. Then Li You knew about the Peng family's crimes and had evidence. He would definitely throw it out tomorrow. Mr. Peng Ge would not be able to pass this test.
The more he thought about it, the more proud he became. Wang Qinian couldn't help but get up and take a few steps back and forth. He thought to himself, Mr. Li, Mr. Li, I'm afraid you don't know that it was the Xinning Hou family that the Cheng family really offended over the salt matter? Isn't it the Fourth Young Master Peng?
He was just standing up for the Xinning Hou family. Even Father Cheng himself didn't know this, so he was exiled in a daze.
The Marquis of Xinning is nothing special. He is just the eldest brother of the Queen Mother, who was granted the title of Marquis by a foreign relative. The Empress Dowager lost her father when she was young, and she and her two brothers had a deep relationship. Back then, the Marquis of Xinning was only granted the title of earl, but the Queen Mother fought hard with her ministers.
, and then promoted his eldest brother to Marquis.
If Li You involved Marquis Xinning in the crime, how would the Queen Mother feel? Tomorrow will be exciting.
"Bring the wine!" Wang Yushi or the future Wang Zhongshu shouted at the door. Killing two birds with one stone, he got what he wanted, and the beautiful Miss Cheng can earn a side house after returning to a good family, and a generous dowry. How can she calm down without drinking a few drinks?
Feeling excited? Having climbed the high branches of the eldest princess and the emperor, it is worth drinking several large bowls.
At the other end of the capital, at Princess Guide's Mansion, in the shadow of the many curtains in the courtyard, Her Majesty Chitose sat in silence with her eyes closed.
Of course she already knows tomorrow's script. Wang Qinian's complete surrender is her biggest gain in recent days, so Mr. Peng Ge, who doesn't deal with her tomorrow, will definitely be unlucky.
This should be a happy event, but her mood at the moment is not as calm as her face. It is always fluctuating and tossing. It is not only Mr. Peng Ge who is unlucky, but also that hateful person.
There is a bit of resentment and a bit of intolerance... I recall when I first met Li You, I saw that he was sweet and charming, and I thought he was an obedient and capable man. Who would have thought that I had really made a mistake, and that he was so daring and ruthless?
Wrong yourself!
I finally realized that a man’s heart is indeed the most unreliable... Guide Chitose suddenly opened his eyes in the darkness and said firmly to himself: "Zhu Yingrao! How can you abandon a big event because of the affair between your children? The winning vote will win the most important prize.
It’s such an important opportunity, God-given opportunity, don’t miss it!”
As if she didn't have enough confidence, she forced herself to make up her mind again, "I must teach him a lesson and make him cry and beg for mercy!"
By the way, we have to warn Mr. Yuan Lide and Mr. Yuan Ge, who has a bitter feud with someone, not to beat the drowned dog to death, but to leave him alive.
In the residence of the Grand Master of Wenhua Palace, Mr. Yuan Ge had already gotten into his concubine's bed, but he was tossing and turning and couldn't fall asleep for a while.
Guide Chitose had hinted to him before that the two enemies, Peng Ge Lao and Li You, would be unlucky together tomorrow. Although the details were unclear, he couldn't help but feel happy in his heart. He just looked forward to the morning light.
In fact, during this period, although Mr. Yuan Ge was tied to Li You and criticized, he was not that uncomfortable.
Because he found that most of the pressure was on Li You, who was so capable of attracting hatred... It was probably because the sailors on the other side saw that Li You was a seventh-level man and thought they were easy to bully. In comparison, they had more scruples about attacking him, a pavilion elder.
.
All gone! From now on, there will be no enemies in the cabinet, and life will be as lonely as snow... Mr. Yuan Ge sighed with some emotion and fell asleep.
In the Tianguan Mansion not far from Yuan's Mansion, Xu Shangshu turned up the light and read at night, but his face looked worried. Of course, it was also for the sake of ending this incident tomorrow.
What Xu Tianguan is most looking forward to is that the Queen Mother will each play fifty pieces to maintain the status quo. This is the best.
It is acceptable to settle for the next best thing and to have the Queen Mother slap Li You's thumb, even to the point of being dismissed from office.
What he was most worried about was that the Queen Mother deliberately favored Li You, which would be bad.
Li You's fighting prowess exceeded his expectations, and now he was actually having a great time fighting three great scholars at the same time. If the Queen Mother deliberately favored Li You for any purpose, then the three great scholars Yuan, Peng, and Xu would definitely have to leave.
One or two.
As a result, there are too many vacancies in the cabinet, and Xu Shangshu, the official of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, may be expelled from the cabinet...
Xu Tianguan did not want to rush into the cabinet at this time. At the beginning of next year, there was a plan to assess all officials in the capital. This work was presided over by the Ministry of Personnel and the Metropolitan Inspectorate. It was a job that Xu Shangshu was bound to win.
He plans to join forces with General Zhao at the beginning of next year to eliminate dissidents and further consolidate the foundation of foreign affairs through Beijing inspection. Later, he will step down from the position of Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs and join the cabinet to become the prime minister.
At that time, I had the foundation of the ministry outside and the support of the secretariat inside, so it was a natural step for me to join the cabinet and I could directly control the real power.
Xu Tianguan sighed. Tomorrow was really elusive, so he had to watch and talk when the time came.
