Four hundred and thirty-three chapters Li Taishou three combos
It is true that officials in the imperial court are more noble than local officials. For example, moving from the second-rank chief envoy to the third-rank deputy capital envoy and minister is often regarded as a promotion. The seventh-rank county magistrate is moved to the seventh-rank censor. The same
It is also regarded as promotion.
On the contrary, at the beginning of last year, Li You was sent to Jiangdu with the official position of Liupin Zhongshusheren. Although his rank remained unchanged, everyone regarded him as a demoted official and deserved sympathy. For this reason, Li You himself wrote a poem.
"After crying at Tianmen, come south", Yang Shen was shamelessly used to compare himself.
Not to mention the difference between being admitted to the Imperial Academy and not, so a few days ago, Li Denggao, editor of the seventh-rank Hanlin Academy, was very confident when he faced Li You, the fifth-rank local official.
"What" situation.
Editor Li's words can be regarded as "rough words but not rough words" in the officialdom. If it were another local official, he could only endure the humiliation in shame. It's a pity that he used the wrong target this time. The outstanding half-honored and half-famous official Li Youbi
Li Denggao became even more arrogant and fierce in his words. He directly retorted and scolded Li Denggao until his body was completely bruised. The humiliated Li Dahanlin wanted to commit suicide by drowning.
Having said that, there is actually no clear system that stipulates that Beijing officials are more valuable than local officials. It is more of a tradition and psychology. The reason for this phenomenon is that in the early years of the country, the imperial court was promoted, local governments were suppressed, and the country was strengthened.
Taking into account the political need for unification and centralization, the advantage is that the local officials of the Ming Dynasty have no ability to rebel at all.
Among the accompanying ministers, the great scholar Yuan Ge is always the first. When the emperor's golden words are inconvenient to speak, he must step in to deal with it.
However, Li You's series of questions were too sharp, facing the conflict of interests between local officials and capital officials, and were very difficult to answer. There is no theoretical basis for Tai Chi, and there is nothing in the Four Books and Five Classics that can be applied in this regard.
Ordinary local officials would dare to be so presumptuous for the sake of their future and destiny? However, Li You is a different kind. At worst, he is a different kind of person who goes home to retire with a golden book and iron certificate and a hereditary third rank.
Mr. Yuan Ge also has some concerns. As a bachelor of Zaifu, he may not speak as casually as Li You. His speech on policy matters can easily be over-interpreted by the people of the world, resulting in some unintended consequences.
In addition, he would never want to openly argue with Li You unless he had to. This was a lesson he learned from several court preludes.
Finally, Mr. Yuan Ge said cautiously: "Master Li, please don't behave disrespectfully before the king! The imperial court has its own considerations. Just do your duty to welcome him. Don't discuss the government affairs here and intimidate the emperor. If you have any opinions,
But if you want to comment on the matter, the court will have its own public discussion!"
Seeing that the first goal was about to be achieved, Li You immediately showed the tendency to give up as soon as possible. Provoking this sharp topic was his first blow, and the main reason was to show off his achievements in governing the place in disguise.
He knew that it was difficult for anyone in the circle of ministers surrounding the emperor to speak well of him, so he created a topic and cleverly explained his achievements in governing the place through defense.
And the more intense the topic, the easier it is to spread, and by the way, his achievements will be spread. As for the sequelae, he did not target anyone except Li Denggao, so it should not be too serious...
Otherwise, no matter how shameless a person is, they will not be able to brag shamelessly that my hard work has made great achievements, my management of the place is in order, and the people here live and work in peace and contentment...
Master Li immediately apologized to Emperor Jinghe and said: "What Mr. Yuan Ge said is absolutely true. It is indeed my fault. On that day, I was insulted by Editor Li as a common official. I thought that I was working hard but I was so insulted, and I was ashamed.
I was so ashamed that I wished I could throw myself into the water, but I knew that as a minister I should not neglect the royal affairs, so I managed to postpone it till now. I didn't want to be scolded by editor Li again today, so I couldn't help but feel angry for a while, and almost missed His Majesty's southern tour.
It’s such a grand ceremony, what a sin!”
This was an apology, but it was actually a complaint of grievance. Mr. Yuan Ge knew that Li You was difficult to deal with. He just asked Li You not to stalk him. Seeing that Li You no longer mentioned Beijing officials and local officials to embarrass the emperor, he immediately shut up and said nothing.
However, Editor Li, who had been silent for a long time after Li You's merciless attack, suddenly heard that Li You had once again taken him out alone to humiliate him. His eyes were about to burst, and he almost rushed forward to grab Li You and shouted, "What do you want to do?"
?I was the one who was humiliated into diving in the end that day, not you. It would be too fake for you to pretend to be pitiful now!
Seeing Li You's old story brought up again, everyone secretly sighed inwardly. Editor Li was still too young. He was too excited and complacent about being admitted to the Imperial Academy, and was so impetuous that he didn't realize the dangerous turmoil in the officialdom.
It has become a fixed term used by Beijing officials to make fun of local officials. It is enough to think about it in your mind or talk about it in private. It has to be openly used to belittle others in person. There is no explicit regulation in the imperial court system.
It is definitely a political mistake to think that Beijing officials are more noble than local officials.
Therefore, it is easy to be caught making a fuss. If Li You really wants to be ruthless and mobilizes a wide range of connections to mobilize people to impeach Editor Li, it will be a big trouble. There are more than a thousand counties and hundreds of prefectures in the world.
, no matter how small it is, it can still greet a hundred and eighty people. Even if the imperial court favors the ministers of Ci Lin, it is impossible to protect them unprincipled in the face of fierce public sentiment. Li You just talked about the difference between local officials and capital officials, isn't it just to create momentum?
In fact, this was Li You's second blow, which was to denounce Li Denggao as a negative example who could not be used as a foil to his own brilliance and martial prowess.
Regardless of the category of reputation, as long as there is an opportunity to gain it, Li You, who made his fortune without fame and reputation, is never afraid to take action.
As for Li Denggao, who was young and only in his twenties, he entered the Hanlin Academy and was on a fast-rising train. Not that he was the center of attention, but he was not far behind. He seemed to be the most popular candidate for the future prime minister.
♀You are a Hanlin at such a young age, and you can become a bachelor after a long time.
Precisely because of the three words "Li Tanhua" and the fact that she is as young as Li You, she is often mentioned together.
In Li Yangzhou's eyes, Li Denggao was expected to be the prime minister and his official skills were very weak. He still dared to humiliate himself. If not, who would be slandered by him?
The clear stream insults the turbid stream, which is often regarded as a good talk in officialdom in an environment where clear streams are respected. The reality is so cruel. If Li You didn't retaliate severely and trample Li Denggao into the mud, he would really become Li Denggao's anecdote.
background.
Under Li You's relentless attacks, regardless of right or wrong, Li Denggao's level was fully demonstrated. In official circles, not only appearance skills are concerned, but also the law of the jungle. In other words, not only is it important to look at right and wrong, but also
It depends on the level. Sometimes the level is too bad, and right becomes wrong.
Even those who are partial to Li Denggao have to admit that compared with Li Denggao, Li Denggao is far, far behind in most aspects. In other words, Li You is much better than the person with the aura of "preserver prime minister"...
If faced with this situation, Chen Xundao, Li You's nominal teacher, would probably sigh. No wonder he was sent to the county to be a low-key official by his teacher after he won the Jinshi. Otherwise, he would definitely have to enter the Imperial Academy at the age of twenty-four.
Faced with a situation like Li Denggao's.
The aura of the young prime minister seems to be dazzling, but he has also become a dazzling target. He is really not that easy to deal with under the attack of countless open guns and hidden arrows.
From this point of view, it is not a bad thing that such a young Li You has no fame. Everyone knows that his future is limited and he will definitely not be able to become a minister or a bachelor, but it relieves a lot of pressure.
In the final analysis, it is still Li Hanlin's fault that he is too shallow. If he could stick to his true intentions and not be impetuous, how could Li You's bait be able to hook him?
However, the Hanlin Academy is different from other yamen. It is relatively united internally, and the officials of the Hanlin Academy do not use vulgar grades to discuss their superiors, but only their seniors based on their academic years. Among the people present, Bai Hanlin, a bachelor's student, was edited by Li
Senior, Li Denggao couldn't stand the attack anymore, Bai Hanlin should come out and smooth things over.
Knowing that Li You had been deliberately teasing from the beginning to the end, Li Denggao really failed to live up to his expectations. Senior Bai had no choice but to say: "Editor Li made an unintentional mistake and his words were inappropriate. I, the Hanlin Academy, should punish him after returning to the capital. Mr. Li Taishou,
Don't be too arrogant, and relax your mind and don't worry about the person who made the mistake."
In fact, these words also imply that Li You is narrow-minded, petty, and caressing about a few words, which is unkind. In fact, the accompanying ministers felt this way out of the same hatred and hatred.
Li You was well prepared and released the third blow without haste. He held his hands in front of him and said, "Scholar Bai is too worried. How can I dare to care about myself? I cry out for my teacher's injustice!"
Which one is this? Bai Hanlin asked inexplicably: "Who is your teacher?"
It has to be said that everyone, whether friends or foes, was very curious about Li You's mentor who seemed to appear out of thin air. Li You looked respectful and said, "It's the fifth in the spring of Jinghe's fifth year, Chen Dongshangong!"
In order to prepare for the pro-government these days, Emperor Jinghe often looked through the list of courtiers, but could not remember this person. He couldn't help but wonder: "I haven't heard of him among the courtiers. Could it be that he has gone into seclusion?"
Li You replied: "Dongshan Duke Yingzhen is not in court, so the county magistrate Su Song will supervise the affairs of Qian."
Except for Editor Li, everyone remembered who "Chen Dongshangong" was. A few years ago, Chen Yingzhen, who was second only to the number one scholar, the second best scholar, and the third best scholar in the new science, did not stay in Beijing, but went to work in a local area.
The magistrate is quite eye-catching.
Mr. Yuan Ge quickly realized that Li You mentioned Chen Yingzhen at this time, and it was definitely not for nothing. Today's heated debate on the imperial boat will definitely end perfectly. When has it been an official virtue to fight for the teacher? Others started from the beginning.
Wei Quan fell into his trap!
Sure enough, Li You began to praise eloquently: "Dongshan Gong has a noble character, pure morals, and outstanding talents, but he does not admire the splendor of the temple and is willing to suffer the hardships of the people..."
If Chen Yingzhen suddenly heard this beautiful speech, he might not know that he was talking about him. Then Li You's voice changed, and he didn't know how many times he pulled Li Denggao out.
"This Li Hanlin and my teacher are both top-ranking Jinshi, and they are about the same age. In comparison, Li Hanlin seems frivolous and incompetent! However, he is noticed both at home and abroad, and is regarded as the prime minister. Whenever he makes a mistake, he will be protected by everyone, cover up each other, and cover up his mistakes!
It’s simply deceiving the Holy King!”
"And my teacher Dongshangong, couldn't he enter the Hanlin Academy just by virtue of his academic title? It's just that he was modest and cautious, fearing that his lack of talent would harm the country, he was willing to go to the people's places to hone his political skills, but he has been almost forgotten by people so far! So far!
Even the Holy Master does not know the talents, and only Li Denggao and his like are left to accompany him. How can such an encounter not make me feel chilled and sad and angry! Therefore, I cry out for the injustice of my teacher!"
Li Denggao, who had been used as a foil by Li You countless times, turned pale and was at a loss. He truly realized the cruelty and ruthlessness of officialdom. If he was given a chance and beaten to death, he would not call Li You "an unruly official."
"Well, no wonder Yuan Ge, the great scholar of Wenhua Palace, can't get ahead!
