In Mr. Li's memory, it is never a good word to say that one is not rewarded for one's merits. Later, Chang Chao made a fool of himself. Although this time it was not a case of merit at all, it is not a good sign that one is not rewarded. It is not a good sign.
Before, he had an idea to trick the emperor into promoting the stone carvings of "Chen Shi Day" to all schools in the world, so as to achieve his famous name for generations, just like "Gongshengmingming, integrity breeds prestige" must be in the yamen all over the world.
Just like a ring stone.
However, there has never been a suitable opportunity today, and the emperor has no one of his own to help, so he had to give up. Looking back now, fortunately, it did not succeed...
Facing the silent emperor, Li You immediately said: "There are many ministers in our dynasty who do not put pragmatism first, are unscrupulous in their words and deeds, and like to criticize others. They do not hesitate to fabricate slander and use it as their own power! It is clear that they made a mistake in speaking first, but they ignore it.
What's the truth about refusing to admit your mistakes and claiming that you have a strong character? I also heard that you should be close to virtuous ministers and stay away from villains. This is completely reasonable!"
Mr. Yuan Ge was very touched when he heard Li You's words criticizing others. He knew clearly that Li You was alluding to others, but it seemed as if Li You was making self-criticism.
Li You said again: "I am an official who is close to the people in this place. It is my duty to care for the country and the people. I never want to take credit for it. However, today I have been criticized by the young uncle several times, but I have not even said a word to apologize. I feel unfair, so
I only ask the young uncle to apologize to me personally to comfort my subordinates, and I don’t want anything else!"
Li You's suggestion did not embarrass Jing and the Emperor, but it just avoided the embarrassment of having nothing to say at this time.
Fulfilling Li You's wish was regarded as a reward, and he could successfully finish today's work. The emperor raised his eyes and pointed his gaze at An Shilang, who had criticized Li You.
The emperor was no longer embarrassed, but it made Minister An angry. He wanted his dignified minister Zuo from the Ministry of Rites to apologize to Li You in front of so many people?
But under the emperor's gaze, he had no choice but to make a mistake, and he didn't want to disobey the emperor for this matter. He had no choice but to bow to Li You but kept silent.
Li You accepted it calmly and thanked the emperor: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for upholding justice!"
Mr. Yuan Ge saw it and sighed in his heart. As the foreman and chief attendant, he really felt that his face was dull.
To be honest, this group of people really disliked Li You for various reasons, and they reached a tacit agreement to separate Li You from the emperor. But Li You obviously also discovered this. So they started tit-for-tat without politeness. After a few rounds,
, but let Li You have the upper hand, which is so embarrassing.
Mr. Yuan Ge even had the illusion that there were countless traps and traps waiting for them to step on in Yangzhou City. There was always a feeling that they could escape the first grade but not the fifteenth. But thinking about it again, Li You was considered a landlord.
Yuya is right. The old saying that a strong dragon cannot overwhelm a local snake is just reflected again.
When Mr. Yuan Ge often went shirtless to fight with Li You, the authorities were often confused, but now the onlookers understand clearly. It seems that Li You's mind is not concerned with gains and losses in a short period of time, nor is he afraid of offending the emperor's closest officials.
From these two days, it can be seen that Li You did not feel any impatient flattery in front of the emperor. Perhaps what he wanted to do in his heart was to be a capable minister, not a lucky minister.
Li You was the minister who first advocated the emperor's personal government in the court. With this achievement, he was destined to have a certain degree of transcendence in front of the emperor as long as he did not go too far. Therefore, he did not have to do all the things required to obtain the emperor's favor like other close ministers.
Possibly close to the emperor.
Li You's intention was not to become a minister of the dragon by trying to please the emperor, but to improve his image in the emperor's mind at all costs. To show his shrewdness and ability to the maximum extent, and to do his best to leave the mark of "a powerful minister" in the emperor's heart.
.
With his initiative in the past and his reputation as a capable minister in the future, as long as there is a chance, the emperor has no reason not to use him. They, the attendants on the southern tour, thought wrong from the beginning. It is useless to isolate the emperor from Li You.
.
Mr. Yuan Ge, who had a harsh reputation for treating others, asked himself. Although he was the enemy of Li You, he had to admit that Li You was indeed a very capable person. From eloquence to means, from luck to opportunity, there was no shortage of them.
He thought so, and that day would be like this...
Afterwards, the accompanying ministers dispersed and went back to their rooms to rest. Academician Bai from the Hanlin Academy and Editor Li were walking together. On the way, Academician Bai asked: "Today I told you to be silent no matter what, how can you get anything out of it?"
Li Denggao pondered for a moment and then said: "Others regard me as the Prime Minister, but we must never regard ourselves as the Prime Minister. It is better to remain silent than to speak loudly."
In his heart, Li You still wanted to see Princess Guide and ask more about the things that he had not had time to ask clearly last night, so he followed Prince Consort Lin out of the hall intentionally or unintentionally.
However, Consort Lin never looked at him, let alone invited him to accompany him, so Li Taishou could only leave in dismay.
He had been out of the palace, but he did not stay far away. He stayed in a temporarily requisitioned tea shop near the palace gate. As the only chief official of the place, welcoming the guests was also a hard job. It was estimated that he could only leave in the middle of the night when there was nothing to do.
go home.
He passed the time indiscriminately, but nothing happened. Li You saw that the night was getting dark, and was about to go home. As soon as he walked outside the door, he saw the palace door open, and a figure hurriedly came this way.
He stood on his feet and waited for the figures to come closer. He looked closely and saw that the two young eunuchs in front were holding lanterns, and the one in the back was actually Duan Zhien, the emperor's companion.
It was almost midnight. Eunuch Duan would not come here for no reason. He must have a purpose, Li You thought. He stepped forward to greet him, raised his hands and asked, "Why are you here?"
Duan Zhien clasped his fists and returned the salute, "The Emperor has a message."
As expected, Li You respectfully prepared to accept the order.
Duan Zhien read back the emperor's decree with a serious face and said: "Go to Yangzhou and prepare some thin horses to send to the palace."
Of course, this thin horse refers to the world-famous Yangzhou thin horse... Li You was suddenly shocked. He didn't expect that the emperor sent Duan Zhien to him in the middle of the night to ask for a woman!
If Duan Zhien hadn't come to announce the edict in person, and if someone else had said this in front of him, he would have thought that someone was pretending to be an edict.
If it were just to find a few original thin horses to give away, it wouldn't be that difficult for Li You, and it would really be nothing. Yangzhou was indeed rich in these.
However, according to the regulations of the country, it is strictly prohibited for any officials, relatives, or people to donate women to the emperor. The women around the emperor can only come from the draft. Those special cases that appear are all reviled. It is extremely illegal to donate women to the emperor.
Disdained by scholars.
Therefore, the emperor's decree made Li You feel extremely embarrassed. Duan Zhien declared the decree, turned around and returned to the palace, leaving Li You standing there in a daze.
