Chapter 250 Whoever loses his temper first is unlucky
In the early morning of November 23rd, the seventh year of Jinghe, the wind was biting. Li You, a southerner who had spent the winter in the capital for the first time, made great determination, so he got out of the hot quilt and wrapped himself tightly from head to toe.
Go out and go to court.
During the court meeting, Mr. Li, a member of Zhongshushe, continued to stand in the northeast corner and look down at the world's heroes... It's not that he looked down on people with his eyes. If he wanted to look at the scenery in the middle from this side position, he could only squint. If he looked around too much, he would be impeached by Yushi Jiuyi.
.
In fact, everything in the court today is step-by-step: blowing the whip, crossing the river, saluting, playing, announcing the edict, and ending the ceremony. They are all procedures that have been solidified for three hundred years. There are no new tricks, and no one expects any new tricks. Everyone who understands knows this.
, the real theater is in Wuying Palace after the Early Dynasty.
There are no formal rules for the proceedings after the court meeting. It is more flexible who participates and who does not. There are no clear rules. Generally speaking, there are three default rules. One is for those who need or want to maintain the right to speak and establish reputation; the other is for those who have important things to do.
The third is the person who is involved in the resolution of affairs.
To put it another way, the monarch and his ministers must meet in person, and the nine ministers or above, who are senior ministers, must come to share the votes, and others will depend on the situation and their own volition. But today, the courtiers and nobles know that there will be a lot of excitement in Wuying Palace, so those who volunteer can
Very much…
Everyone who thought they were qualified wanted to go to Wuyingdian Theater. After the pilgrimage, hundreds of people poured into Guiji Gate as if attending a temple fair. For a time, the front of Wuyingdian was bustling with people, which overwhelmed the internal guards, officers and soldiers who guarded the gate.
, had no choice but to guard the palace gate and fly to report to Cisheng Palace.
The chaos continued until the Empress Dowager issued a special decree, which only allowed nobles above the marquis, military ministers above the second rank, civil servants above the third rank, civil servants above the sixth rank, civil servants with more than five years of experience, and civil servants with more than five years of experience to enter the palace.
Most people had no choice but to leave disappointed.
Li Youshi walked into the palace. His position was easy to find. No matter how he was sorted in this situation, the position of the seventh-grade scholar was almost always at the end of the class of civil servants. The advantage was that it was close to the palace gate, at least
The light is very good.
Next to Li You's position are the seventh-grade science and technology officials, such as Wang Qinian and Wang Yushi.
Wang Yushi, who had been excited all night, now looked very depressed. Just as Li You was about to say a few words of concern, he suddenly saw the leading officer entering the palace, and the Queen Mother was coming.
After ascending the throne, bowing and returning to the throne, the Wuying Hall became silent and silent, as if everyone was carefully studying the quality of the gold bricks on the floor.
Time continued to pass in silence, and everyone in the palace started a competition to see who could lose his temper first... According to incomplete statistics on historical experience, the person who loses his temper first has the highest probability of becoming the final loser.
Even the youngest Li You knows that silence is golden and holds back.
In the silent atmosphere, I saw that the father-in-law who was responsible for singing praises had already stood up and was about to shout something like "If you have the foundation to start playing, you will retreat without the foundation" or something like that.
Everyone felt disappointed at this. Could it be that today's much-anticipated drama ended in such a nonsensical way?
At the critical moment, someone who had lost his patience finally stepped forward.
I saw Peng Shichun, the great scholar of Wuyingdian Palace, and Peng Gelao came out and said: "Recently, Shangbao Division has been short of a chief minister, and Li You, a member of Zhongshushe, can be promoted."
What was being played was not very interesting, but one key word was Li You! Everyone knew that the curtain was slowly rising, and they were all savoring every word Mr. Peng Ge said over and over in their hearts.
Shangbaosi is also a forbidden agency of the inner court. Its main business is seals and talismans. It is a famous idle department. Another special thing is that Shangbaosi and Guanglu Temple are both gathering places for Yin officials, raising
A lot of money was sent to officials.
Shangbao Sicheng is an official of the sixth rank, located under Shangbao Siqing and Shaoqing. Some Sichengs are in charge of affairs, which is similar to the ministers in the six bureaus, but most of them are sent to official positions.
Therefore, what Mr. Peng Ge said can be understood from a clear perspective: Shangbaosi is currently short of a real-time official, Li You, who can be promoted from the inner court officials to fill the role. It is not a bad rule. The inner court officials are different from those in the outer court.
When the elder of the cabinet doesn't give him face, he can directly recommend it over the official minister's book.
In fact, a person can tell that this is a trick similar to the ups and downs. How is the sixth-grade Shangbao Sicheng more important than the seventh-grade Shang Baosheng?
Of course, things are not just that simple. Li You thought for a moment and understood what Mr. Peng Ge was thinking. The reason why Academician Peng put forward this suggestion must be to test the mind of the Empress Dowager Cisheng and see how the Empress Dowager felt about Li You.
What kind of attitude is it, and then be targeted and tit-for-tat?
Moreover, Mr. Peng Ge was promoting an enemy, avoiding the rhetoric of being jealous and retaliating, making it difficult for people to find fault. You must know that Mr. Peng Ge always paid attention to his reputation and showed his integrity to others.
In fact, Mr. Peng Ge was still holding on to a sense of luck. If the Queen Mother nodded directly, then the tiger would leave the mountain and the world would be peaceful. He would have won more than half of the court battle. If the Queen Mother did not agree, he would have no actual losses.
Behind the beaded curtain, Empress Dowager Qian pondered for a moment, but she refused even if she disagreed. She just said, "Xu Lishu upholds officialdom, what does this mean?"
Xu Tianguan came out and said to Scholar Peng: "May I ask Mr. Li, how can Li You be promoted?"
This question...calling Mr. Peng Ge is like eating a fly. He can only hold his nose and answer: "Li She is loyal, diligent, smart and honest. He sets an example for the inner court and deserves to be rewarded."
Immediately, there was a faint sound of snickering in the palace... Mr. Peng Ge actually publicly praised Li Zhongshu for setting an example for the inner court. It was really funny to the extreme.
At this time, Mr. Yuan Ge originally had the urge to step forward and praise Li You, but he thought twice and restrained himself.
Xu Tianguan did not continue to argue with Peng Ge Lao, but simply replied to the Queen Mother: "The official position of the imperial concubine is left to the Holy Judgment."
Playing football is one of the basic skills of courtiers. Xu Tianguan is naturally very skilled as he can be the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, not to mention he also wants to test the Queen Mother's thoughts.
The Queen Mother still did not express her position. She pondered again for a moment and turned her eyes to the area near the palace gate.
The eunuchs on the left and right of the holy driver shouted in response to the order: "Li You from Zhongshushe came forward to answer!"
Although Li You was surprised and didn't know what the Queen Mother asked him to do, he still quickly walked out of the queue and walked to the throne.
"Li You, what do you think?" Queen Mother Qian asked.
This question surprised everyone in the palace, including Li You.
This was not the time in his previous life. Under the system of this dynasty, the selection of official positions was completely done behind closed doors by a limited number of big bosses, without asking for personal opinions. However, the Queen Mother broke the rules and asked him what he thought...
The sixth grade is very attractive, and you should not give up the book in the split ticket. Li Zi said: Fish is what I want, and bear paws are what I want. You can't have both. Eat the fish first and then take the bear's paw.
After turning his mind for a few times, Li You replied in a decent manner: "I am subject to the will of the Holy Mother!"
After hearing this, everyone thought of a word - boring, but it can only be so boring.
Li You did not shut up and continued: "I have other things to do, and I boldly express my feelings. On the Holy Birthday Festival, the Holy Mother gave me a palace maid, and I was in a daze for a while and didn't know how to thank you. But when I returned home, I thought about it, but I didn't realize it. Well, how can I dare to use Gong'e's colorful daughter? Fortunately, the reward has not yet arrived. This is a big mistake and can be undone. I also ask the Holy Mother to take back this reward for the sake of all ministers!"
Most people don't understand why Li You talks about such trivial things. He can just write a farewell note instead. There is no need to make a fuss about it in the palace, which looks stingy and tasteless.
At this time, a shocking and jaw-dropping scene appeared...
The Queen Mother of the Holy Mother in the bead curtain nodded and said: "What you said is absolutely true, so the reward will be changed to the rank of Shang Bao Sicheng."
Simply promoting Li You to the sixth rank like this? If the officials in the palace heard correctly, the Queen Mother said that she was promoted to Shangbao Sicheng instead of being promoted to Shangbao Sicheng.
So Li You's job is still to vote for the secretariat, and Shang Bao Sicheng can only represent the rank. He easily changed from the seventh grade to the sixth grade. As the level increased, he still had the power to divide the votes, which was a great advantage.
What's going on? The smartest people have already realized it, and they can't help but secretly praise "It's really high!"
This opportunity can be said to be fleeting, and most people will not even notice it when they encounter it. Li Zhongshu was actually blessed to the soul, and cleverly used the opportunity to guide the Queen Mother to grant him an official position.
The villain wants benefits, the noble wants dignity, and the royal family needs dignity even more. The Holy Birthday Festival is a major national celebration, and Li You's birthday birthday poem topped the audience that day. For political reasons, he must be rewarded heavily, otherwise the Holy Mother Where was the dignity of the Empress Dowager? It was just that Li You almost caused a scandal at that time, so he had to use two maids to fool him.
But today, Li You suddenly used great reason to send back the two maids who failed to win. Shouldn't the royal family give him some other compensation? Otherwise, he would look stingy and dishonorable.
It happened that a certain pavilion elder mentioned Shang Bao Sicheng earlier and took the initiative to create public opinion and connect with Li You, giving the Queen Mother a chance to push the boat forward.
Can the promotion of the winner of the ticket to Shangbao Sicheng be regarded as a reward? No!
Can Shang Bao Sicheng, the official of Shang Bao Sicheng, who won the title of winner of the ticket and be awarded the title, be regarded as a reward? This can be possible!
Adding the false title of Sixth Grade, in the eyes of the Empress Dowager, it is just a matter the size of sesame seeds and mung beans. The court is not short of these few taels of silver salary. Moreover, she can also use this to finalize the matter of Shang Baosicheng, and at the same time avoid the split vote. He directly expressed his position on the trend of the book position and continued to maintain a situation that left the ministers puzzled...
However, it is said that Li You hurriedly thanked him and returned to his seat. He was so happy that no need to elaborate.
He had never thought of having this opportunity before, and he just had the idea of giving it a try, but today he was so lucky that the Queen Mother actually rewarded him with the title of Sixth Grade.
Farewell! Zuo Pingshi of Dali Temple, Farewell! Xuan Yilang, Li You thought silently in his heart.
The instigator, Mr. Peng Ge, watched helplessly as Mr. Li was promoted to a higher position, and he was also the one who fueled the flames...
In fact, it didn't matter at first. Li Youjia's lack of official promotion would not affect him. But when he thought that he might become a buffoon in the eyes of others, his blood rushed to his head, his eyesight turned black, and his whole body was cold. He really had no shame to continue to stand in front of His Majesty. He gritted his teeth and returned to the train.
Mr. Yuan Ge next to him suddenly sympathized with this competitor and felt a little bit the same way.
The volunteer referees in the hall all judged in their hearts: Li Zhongshu won the first round. Once again, experience and lessons vividly proved that whoever loses his temper first is unlucky.ro!.
