For Xu Shangshu, Li You had already wiped out the prestige of several elders and indirectly raised his status in the world. In a sense, he had achieved his goal, and there was no need to continue to be aggressive for the time being.
If the whole stage collapses completely, then no one will be able to sing in the opera. Maybe the history books of later generations will give him a big bad review, for example, he is obsessed with power and ignores the overall situation for personal gain and neglecting public affairs.
Over there, Master Tianguan's few words were like a basin of cold water, pouring cold water on Li Zhongshu, who was about to realize his seventh sense when the small universe exploded. The powerful firepower was suddenly paralyzed.
He tilted his head and looked at Xu Shangshu in disbelief, and then he came to his senses completely. Is this the legendary saying that if you go too far, but not as strong as you want, you will be deeply humiliated and your life will be ruined? Or is it the legendary saying of killing a donkey, crossing a river, demolishing a bridge, and killing a rabbit and cooking it for a dog?
What is hidden behind the bow?
In the Ming Dynasty, the three bachelors who threatened to resign at the same time plus the two ministers of the Ministry of Civil Affairs and the Ministry of War had the same attitude towards something. No matter which kind of monarch they were, they would not be able to rebel at will. The Queen Mother Qian also
No exception.
Just listen to the edict inside the curtain: "What the official wrote makes sense, I understand."
As soon as these words came out, the three bachelors breathed a sigh of relief. They were also worried. If they were to be collectively "resigned" because of a seventh-grade official, they would become the laughingstock of the century.
The Queen Mother was obviously asking Li You to resign. The reason why she did not resign directly was because the Queen Mother was kind and treated her ministers favorably. After all, she allowed Li You to voluntarily resign as the secretary of the vote-sharing committee. It would look better on her face and it would be easier to say it out.
It sounds better than being dismissed. The Empress Dowager Cisheng is indeed known for her virtues.
Someone quickly calculated it in their mind. If after three rounds today, Mr. Li exchanged his official position for a sixth-grade official title with a split ticket, would it be considered a gain or a loss? It is difficult to tell clearly.
According to the usual practice, it was Li You's turn to say a few words such as "I am guilty of my fault and will not work hard", and then everyone was happy and gloriously laid off to be assigned. Anyway, with Xu Tianguan controlling the staff, it should not be a big problem for Mr. Li to find another job.
Li You's young face was full of sadness. He took out the tooth tag from his pocket and looked at the two words "Zhongshusheren" and "Zhigaofangfang" on it affectionately, reluctant to part with it.
This kind of dental plaque does not have a person's name engraved on it, only the position. It will be given to whoever holds the corresponding position. If Li You removes his position as Zhongshusherenzhigaofang, then the newly familiar dental plaque in his hand will have to change its owner.
Already.
Putting down his teeth, Li You apologized and said: "The tenth month of the sub-ticket is newly established in the book. There has been no previous regulation in the past seventy years. I am young and have a weak moral character. I pretend to take on important responsibilities. I only know how to work blindly and bravely. The more I do, the more I make mistakes. I really cannot bear the responsibility."
It is the responsibility of founding the foundation. There is no greater sin than to live up to the divine grace."
These words also gave Li Youbo a little bit of sympathy - the poor cannon fodder had become a test subject for new things. Of course, everyone was just sighing with emotion at this moment.
Li You also reported to the Queen Mother: "The responsibility of dividing votes is very important. It is necessary to sort out the chapters in one day. It is not convenient to entrust others to do it for the secrets of the central government. I wonder who will succeed me after the minister? Now that all the princes are here, it is better to decide on the candidate early.
It is best to deliver the deal as soon as possible after the discussion, so as not to interfere with state affairs."
The Empress Dowager Cisheng of the Ming Dynasty asked the ministers: "In the opinion of the ministers, if Li You leaves the post of Zhongshu, who can succeed him?"
People with a sensitive political sense in the palace immediately realized that the Queen Mother wanted to promote the court? Otherwise, there was no need to ask the ministers, just ask the minister of the Ministry of official affairs or the bachelor.
The selection of officials is nothing more than ministry selection, ministry recommendation, court recommendation, and special promotion. For Beijing officials of the seventh grade, the officials are usually directly selected by the Ministry of Personnel and approved by the court, and there are also special orders from the palace to make up for them.
of official procedures.
So what is Tingtui? Simply put, it is specially designed for high-ranking officials. Not every position is eligible for selection through Tingtui. I have a long history in the Ming Dynasty, but I have never heard of any seventh-grade official position requiring Tingtui.
Regulations in the past dynasties have been different. Generally speaking, there are not many official positions that are eligible to enter the court nomination process, including ministers, ministers, governors, governors, and bachelors. But how can the position of secretary of the branch of the vote be so virtuous...
This was a promotion, this was an honor. Wang Qinian and Wang Yushi felt that the power of splitting votes was within reach and was so excited that he was shaking all over. Wang Qinian was not arrogant and arrogant, he was certainly sure of it.
Looking at the court, there is no need to consider those above the fifth rank. No matter how eager you are for the power of splitting votes, you can't lose face and lower yourself a few levels to compete for the position of the winner of the splitting votes. At the level of sixth or seventh rank, except for people like him,
Who else in Dao Qingliu is more qualified to do this job of suppressing the cabinet?
He, Wang Qinian, is already a senior censor in charge. Although he is only in his thirties, with nearly ten years of experience, he is already a highly respected senior figure in the official circles. Without this capital, he would not be able to gather the troops to besiege Li You. More
What's more, he is the most famous spearhead in the current wave of overthrowing Li, and has contributed the most. Of course, he is also the most qualified to receive Li You's political legacy.
The most important thing is that Wang Yushi currently has the support of Peng Gelao in the Ming Dynasty and Guide Qiantose in the dark side.
Today is simply a lucky day. The trap he dug didn't need to work, but Li You failed first, and even the risk was gone... Wang Qinian clenched his fists in his sleeves, waiting for the triumphant moment to come.
Having said that, if you want to be promoted by the court, the princes, nobles, nobles and military attache Ci Lin in the palace will all stand aside. Although they have been standing aside since entering the palace, at least they can theoretically speak, but they do not want or are unwilling to speak. Now
He no longer even has the right to speak.
Li You returned to the train with no sorrow, no joy, no desire, no desire, holding the tooth tag in his hand, waiting for its new owner to appear.
The eunuch brought out a desk and placed it in front of His Majesty, along with pen and ink and an empty book.
Diange Grand Scholar, Six Ministers, Zuo Du Yushi, Dali Temple Minister, General Affairs Envoy, Liu Bu Shilang, Zuo Deputy Du Yushi, six subjects in charge of affairs, thirteen ministers and supervisory censors, a total of forty
The five of them went out together and stood to the south of the writing desk and to the north.
After paying homage to the Queen Mother, Xu Tianguan, the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, walked out from the crowd attending the imperial examination. Holding an empty book in his hand, he said to the ministers: "Now the person in the palace of the imperial edict is directly responsible for the affairs of the imperial office and the division of votes."
After saying this, Xu Tianguan remained silent. Under normal circumstances, the Minister of Civil Affairs would have listed one or two candidates, but this time Xu Tianguan only said this and then shut up, probably indicating that he was not prepared to be a candidate.
human meaning.
If the Heavenly Officials of the Ministry of Personnel do not nominate candidates, others will naturally nominate candidates.
Mr. Yuan Ge, the Grand Scholar of Wenhua Palace, remained silent. Mr. Peng Ge, the Grand Scholar of Wuying Hall, and Mr. Xu Ge, the Grand Scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, looked at each other. Probably because Mr. Peng Ge wanted to avoid suspicion, Mr. Xu Ge came forward and said: "I
Recommended to supervise the censor Wang Qinian."
In addition, Jin Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites recommended him to Yin Weijie.
After waiting for a long time, it seemed that there were no other candidates. Xu Tianguan was about to proceed to the next step, when Dongge University Scholar Yang Gelao said: "I recommend Li You."
The sound was not loud, but it was loud and attracted all the attention in the palace.
In the eyes of everyone, Mr. Yang Ge said calmly: "It is difficult to start the matter of splitting votes. Resigning at will will weaken the courage to do things. It is better to ask him to continue doing it."
Okay, this counts as a nomination. Everyone knows that this is just better than nothing. Now that the general trend is going, Li You will definitely not be able to continue doing it.
Xu Tianguan put the empty book back on the desk and wrote the names of the three candidates Wang Qinian, Yin Weijie and Li You on the front page.
Afterwards, the participants were sorted according to their station, and one by one they went to the desk to draw questions on the empty book.
When looking at matters such as court discussions, except when authoritarian figures speak out and party disputes are fierce, there are usually only a few people who are particularly assertive. Most people just follow the trend based on the situation, and it is the same this time.
As a candidate, Wang Qinian did not write a question, so in the end, forty-four people actually participated in the nomination.
The title of the painting does not require a signature, so it is very easy to count. Xu Tianguan and Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Civil Affairs each counted it once, and then Li Ke, who did not participate in the court recommendation, stepped forward and counted it again.
Finally, Xu Tianguan reported to the Queen Mother: "Wang Qinian, thirty-one; Li You, nine; Yin Weijie, four."
Li You was moved when he heard Xu Tianguan reported the numbers. Nine good people actually voted for him.
And Wang Qinian burst into tears when he heard thirty-one. All the hard work and suffering before was not in vain, it was all worth it.
From now on, he will no longer be an official who can only show off his words. After nearly ten years in Kedao, he has finally made it through. He will join the direct center, hold the votes with the support of the eldest princess and the emperor, and become a powerful figure.
At this point, the curtain call of the Wuyingdian Theater has almost come to an end today. The audience expressed that they were feasting their eyes and the trip was well worth it, and the Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor were awarded to Li You and Wang Qinian respectively. A generous and fierce victory over the three
Mr. Ge, the one who quietly became the final winner, both of them deservedly won the grand prize.
Just when all the gentlemen in the hall were relaxing, a figure flashed, and Li You, the former secretary of state, emerged from the class again.
It's a bit annoying to go to court on an empty stomach in the morning and prepare to go home for lunch at this time. Mr. Li, can you please stop dragging me unwillingly?
Amid dozens of complaining glances, Li You, who was dying, told the Empress Dowager Cisheng: "In the study room of the minister... Shangbao Sicheng Li You impeached Wang Qinian, the supervisory censor of Henan Province, for his sinister intentions, neglect of duties, and evasion of the law. Please
The Holy Magistrate reduced his position to serve the people."
Among the people present, the most common thought was: Mr. Li seems to have been arresting the big and letting go of the small since the dynasty. He only fights with the elders and ignores other people. Now he impeaches Wang Yushi abnormally. He even did this temporarily.
There are many empty accusations, and it seems that they are really urgent. Besides, it is the duty of a science and technology official to hear rumors. Isn't it a bit over the line for you, an inner court official, to say these things for no reason?
Li You continued: "A few days ago, I went to the Jiaofang Division to collect news. I met the musician Cheng's daughter, and learned an interesting story. She claimed to be the daughter of a salt merchant, and she was framed by the fourth son of Wuyingdian University Scholar Peng Chunshi a few years ago.
And the family is broken up and everyone is dead.”
Mr. Peng Ge was originally mocking, but his expression suddenly changed when he heard his name. To be honest, he didn't know about this, but he knew a little bit about the conduct of these four sons, and there were some mistakes.
That's not surprising.
"What's even more strange is that Wang Qinian was an old friend of her family, but he didn't help her. He only instigated her to tell the matter to the minister. He learned that the minister was ignorant and could never figure out the secret of it."
"I have two things that I don't understand. Firstly, the Metropolitan Procuratorate is one of the three judicial departments, and the censor can supervise hundreds of officials. Wang Qinian already knew about this back then. As a censor, why didn't he investigate the case? Secondly, since Wang censor knew the inside story
, why did you instruct the suffering master to tell this matter to an unrelated person like me? I am not being reasonable to the executioner."
"So I have the guts to impeach Wang Qinian, a man with sinister intentions, neglect of duty, and perversion of the law. How can he continue to stand in the temple?"
Hearing this, Wang Qinian, who was feeling triumphant about his victory, was unprepared. He felt dizzy for a moment and could hardly stand. The evidence for the case was conclusive. The young lady of the Cheng family and Qin Sile only had to state it truthfully.
He shouldn't have exposed any clues. How could Li You doubt him?
Everyone is not a fool. If what Li You stated is true, Wang Qinian's motive for committing the crime can be guessed at random. What is the nature of this behavior of giving dirty information about Peng Ge's hometown to Mr. Peng Ge's enemies?
Want to think about it?
Sure enough, the excitement was yet to come. Just when the show was about to end, such shocking inside information was revealed. The audience in the hall became excited again, and there was a noisy scene. Lunch was nothing in comparison. Could it be that Li You only won the best award?
Not satisfied with the leading actor, but still wants to win the best director?
Mr. Peng Ge also had a sudden thought. Even though Li You had a sharp tongue, he would never dare to talk nonsense here if he didn't have some confidence. Thinking of this, Mr. Peng Ge stared at Wang Qinian fiercely.
I can't wait to eat him.
A question came from behind the beaded curtain on Lord Dan's head: "Is there any evidence?"
Li You took the salt yin from his sleeve and handed it to the internal prison. He also said: "Back then, the four sons of the Peng family framed the Cheng family for fabricating salt yin to obtain private salt. This is part of the real salt yin that the Cheng family has hidden until now."
The daughter of the family still has more than a thousand quotations in her hands, which is enough evidence to overturn the old case."
The Empress Dowager Cisheng issued an edict: "As soon as the royal guards in front of the palace went to the Jiaofang to pick up Cheng's daughter, Qin's surname is Sile."
It's over... Wang Qinian was completely stunned. He knew that it was useless to try to quibble.
Looking at Wang Qinian's expression, most people actually believed what Li You said at this time.
This major case is actually two cases. One is that the four sons of the Peng family committed evil, but there is no need to worry and can be investigated slowly. The other is that Wang Qinian, as a censor, neglected his duties and violated the law, and is suspected of deliberately framing the minister, which is the top priority.
.
As for the teacher he betrayed, the sect leader Peng Ge Lao, it falls into the category of morality, but in these days, morality can sometimes replace the law.
I think back then, if Wang Qinian had informed Li You of these dark materials openly, Li You might have thanked him. Now when he is unable to save himself, he will probably become a beautiful man.
However, Wang Yushi was sneaky and secretive, trying to hide himself, which made Mr. Li very alert. Adhering to the principle of preferring to kill by mistake rather than letting go, he tried his best to drag Wang Yushi into the water. Anyway, he was not a friendly force that he could confirm, so it was easy for him to do so.
If you want to kill him, just kill him.
It is a pity that Mr. Wang Qinian is too clever in his calculations, but his cleverness is mistaken for his cleverness. When a smart person meets someone who is suspicious and thoughtful, it can only be said that he has met his destiny nemesis.
Li You wiped his sweat secretly. If he hadn't discovered something strange, he would have been complacent and sued Peng Ge for being old, and by then he would have fallen into Wang Qinian's trap. Suspiciousness does not seem to be a bad habit, and it must be carried forward in the future...
Dongge University Scholar Yang Gelao suddenly remembered something, his eyes lit up, and he went out to report: "This court recommendation to Wang Qinian should be abolished."
The Queen Mother nodded and said: "Yes"
Then Mr. Yang Ge pretended to be confused and asked Xu Tianguan: "According to the old regulations, after the main recommendation is abolished, the accompaniment will be used to make up for it. In this time, who is the second accomplice?"
Xu Tianguan couldn't help but read out a name that everyone knew: "The second is Li You."
More than a hundred people in the hall exclaimed that it was common for a salted fish to turn over, but this time it turned too fast? It was like a blink of an eye.
After a long time of hard work, Li You transformed from a secretly-operated ministry selector into a highly-respected court official with countless higher grades? Doesn’t that make him even more stubborn? How could he be like this?
Li You was also dumbfounded. All this was God's will. Do all those who travel through time have a destiny?
