As mentioned above, the imperial court pays attention to the integrity and righteousness in doing things. For example, if you choose not to fight, it will be called a rebellion. If you want to be called a Qingjun, even the imperial edict of the imperial court must be carried out by heaven.
And this revitalization of disciplines is Xu Shangshu's righteousness. The name seems very empty and empty, but it is not unreasonable to be used by Xu Tianguan, and it naturally has its appeal.
Now the world has been peaceful for more than ten years, and there have been no major disasters. In addition, because the emperor has been young and weak in recent years, the empress dowager has treated ministers more leniently, the chief minister has been out of illness for a long time, and the lack of strong restraint has led to the dissipation and laziness in the court. Many knowledgeable people have
Very worried about this.
Born in sorrow, died in happiness, sorrow and labor can rejuvenate a country, and leisure can perish. So many famous sayings are about this!
Moreover, only talking about discipline does not involve actual interests on the surface. In actual operation, it can be large or small. It is easier to determine the severity in a targeted manner, and it will not cause widespread confrontation.
This reason is very clever. Li Zhongshu, the old man of Tianguan who is worthy of his thorough calculation, read Xu Tianguan's memorial twice and sighed deeply. He knew that the real wind was about to rise. He had done it several times before
Compared with this fight, it can only be regarded as a petty fight between little people.
In fact, Li probably wouldn't think it was too strange. Eight years from Jinghe to the present day is already long enough. From countless historical precedents, it can be seen that no matter whether the power system in the temple is stable or unstable, it will always change over time.
The cards will be reshuffled. This seems to be a fate that no one can break, because the human heart is dynamic and unstable, and no great power can completely control it.
Li Gui thought of Lu Shangshu's words again, "How many times have you seen the temple style Bo?" This time, he was going to see it. But he probably just saw it. The process of Beijing inspection has its own set of procedures, and it has something to do with him.
Not very big. All he can do is passively wait for the results.
But he said that Mr. Li returned to his residence in the evening and had just finished his meal. When it got dark, a servant from Tianguanfu came to the door. It turned out that he was ordered by Xu Shangshu to send him there. This was what Mr. Li wanted. He was just thinking about it.
I have been looking for excuses to go to Tianguan Mansion these days. Unexpectedly, Xu Shangshu actually took the initiative to invite me tonight.
In this quiet night when the atmosphere of the Lantern Festival was gradually dissipating, Mr. Li sneaked into Tianguan Mansion in a sneaky and familiar way. He had been to Tianguan Mansion several times, either in the middle of the night or in the middle of the night. If he came here during the day, he might get lost.
, it feels more familiar when it’s dark at night.
This time he did not go to the study but was led to an exquisite small hall in the same courtyard as the study. When Li Gui walked in, he found that there were already two people sitting in the hall. They both knew each other. One was Mr. Zhongzuo, the doctor of the Selected Works Department of the Ministry of Personnel.
The other one is Mr. Pan, a member of the Ministry of Civil Affairs’ Examination Department.
The two people sat facing each other in the guest seat in silence without saying a word. When they saw Li Gui, they just nodded and continued to be silent.
Li Guess was affected by the atmosphere and found a place to sit, thinking about something in his mind.
He originally thought that the heavenly official had summoned him to tell him some instructions alone, but now it seemed that it was not so obvious that he was summoning his cronies for a small meeting.
The Literary Selection Department and the Merit Examination Department are the most critical departments among the six departments, and they are also very critical departments in the Beijing Inspection. The Merit Selection Department is responsible for the specific operation of inspection procedures, and the Literary Selection Department is responsible for the removal procedures of unqualified officials in the Beijing Inspection.
So it was not surprising that both Zuo Bulang and Vice-lang Pan appeared here, but he guessed what the nose in the split ticket had to do with it?
After a while, Xu Tianguan and Zhao Liangren, the censor of Zuodu, came in together. The three people in the room immediately stood up and saluted to greet them.
After sitting down, Xu Tianguan coughed and opened his mouth. Sure enough, when he talked about the inspection of the capital, he finally said: "Indolence has grown in the court. We will clean up the bad things and eliminate the bad things. We will work hard with you to do it!"
Li Gu thought to himself that everything the old man said was right, but he didn't know if it was true or not, but he could only listen to it seriously.
Xu Tianguan gave everyone a few instructions, and then said to Li Ju: "You are often in the palace. I heard that you are very close to Guide Qiansui?"
Li Gui replied cautiously: "There are indeed some unavoidable interactions."
"Go and spread the word that she has nothing to do with the Beijing police this time...
Li Gui understood in his heart that Xu Tianguan was showing his kindness and told the eldest princess that he would not touch her power.
"Also, you must be measured in your newspaper."
On the 21st of the first lunar month, the letter requesting a visit to the capital for inspection was left by Cisheng Palace on Zhongzi Day, but there was no movement.
On the 25th, Xu Tianguan once again asked Shu to go to Beijing for inspection. This time, the Queen Mother quickly gave her approval and agreed.
After the memorial was issued to the public, the news spread throughout the yamen in the capital within one day. All officials were very concerned about this. This is a milestone that occurs once every six years. Although it was fine before, who knows if something will happen this year.
After receiving the holy approval, Xu Shangshu and relevant personnel immediately moved into the official yamen. They stopped seeing guests and declined all social activities. This was an open practice.
Seeing that the matter had been made public, Li Gui followed Xu Tianguan's request and went outside Huiyin Gate to ask for an audience with Princess Guide.
It's been almost a month since we last met.
In the Zhaofeng Palace, Guide Chitose was in a good mood today. He smiled at Li Gui and said, "It's rare that you take the initiative to see me."
"I am also here under orders. Xu Shangshu, the Ministry of Civil Affairs, has a crush on you. He said that the Beijing inspection will not hinder you this time."
"I understand. Tomorrow night you go to the Prince Consort's Mansion to pick up a list and forward it to Xu Shangshu for me."
The eldest princess also gave instructions.
The Beijing investigation was very offending. Li estimated that he had a shallow background and did not want to get too involved, so he expressed his disbelief: "The official of Heaven has already moved into the official office of the Ministry of Civil Affairs and has not seen anyone."
Guide Chitose said disdainfully: "That's nonsense. I don't believe you can't do it."
Li Gui had no choice but to agree.
The two chatted for a while, and the eldest princess asked again: "I see that you are calm and calm. Could it be that you are not aware of your situation?"
"What can you do if you realize it?" Li Gui sighed.
Of course, he knows his own situation best. As for the impact of this Beijing inspection on him, he has completely figured it out a few days ago.
If Xu Tianguan wins a complete victory in the imperial examination, he will almost certainly take advantage of the situation and join the cabinet, and it is very likely that he will directly become the secondary assistant position of Grand Bachelor of Jianji Palace.
When the first assistant is on sick leave, the second assistant is the natural talker in the cabinet. So because the cabinet is leaderless and affects the establishment of government affairs, is it necessary to have sub-letters? It is estimated that Xu Cifu did not want such a thing at that time.
Moreover, Xu Tianguan was the one who personally sent Li Gui into the cabinet, and he was also Li Gui's superior. If he entered the cabinet, Li Gui would definitely not be able to maintain his aloof status in the cabinet, and it would be better to leave.
All in all, the day Xu Tianguan entered the cabinet was the day Li Gui left.
On the other hand, if Xu Tianguan loses, the consequences are easy to imagine. Without this backstage support, Li Zhongshu will not be able to stay in the cabinet. He will also leave sadly, with an uncertain end.
If he leaves the cabinet, where can he go? Liubu Kedao is impossible. According to regulations, Zhongshushe people are not allowed to move directly into Liubu Kedao. If it is other second- and third-rate yamen, Li Guimai, who came out of the cabinet, will be promoted to Zhongshu
If you really don’t want to go, the most likely option is to serve as a local official...
After thinking about this, Li Gui suddenly understood a truth. As a person, you still need to find your right position and be down-to-earth.
The big tui who hugged Chen Xundao in the past was just punished as a Dai when he needed to be sacrificed. It didn't matter. Now he hugs Xu Tianguan's big tui as a minor bureaucrat. It seems better, but in an instant, he went straight from a quasi-supervisor to the center and reached the sky in one step.
, and he may fall straight from the central cabinet to the bottom after a while. This official pace is too sluggish.!
