Chapter Four hundred and forty-five Yangzhou welcomes you!
When the tall and graceful Mr. Li stood up and said decisively and with great heroism, "An official should be the king of government", Princess Guide was dazzled and lost her mind.
At this moment, the strong-willed, ambitious, and enterprising figure of the mistress in front of her was highly consistent with the image of an ideal man in her mind, and she subconsciously replied: "Okay!"
The girl Chitose silently recited the next sentence with a bit of disappointment, "I should marry Yin Lihua," and secretly sighed that it was a pity.
Li You stared closely at the eldest princess's round red lips. When he uttered a good word from here, he knew that the matter was over. Taking two big steps forward, he rushed towards the tempting red lips with one hand and hooked them with one hand.
The owner of the red lips pressed against her neck almost roughly, mouth to mouth, and a strong sense of excitement burst out from the heart to the whole body.
Under the friction of lips and tongue, his arousal became uncontrollable. While smelling the fragrance that pierced his heart and spleen, Li You had already started to roam the woman's body with his hands.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!" The door of the house was knocked hard three times.
Feeling that the atmosphere was ruined, Li You raised his head and glanced towards the door with great dissatisfaction. It must have been Wang Yannu who was guarding the door.
Princess Guide took the opportunity to push Li You away and gasped: "In broad daylight, there are many people talking!"
She quickly straightened her slightly messy temples and collar of her inner coat. However, her body was still sore and her heart was wandering, so she had to pinch her soft flesh with the nails hidden in her sleeves until she was forced to calm down by the pain.
Only after I came down did I loosen my fingers.
Of course Li You also knew that there were many people coming and going in the palace, and there were often imprisoned maids passing by outside the house. It was naturally not a good place for an affair, and he had been too excited just now.
"Sit down and talk." The eldest princess said weakly, full of infinite melancholy.
Li You had no choice but to sit down again. Recalling the three chapters of the agreement, he finally understood why it might have fallen to an outsider like him, with hundreds of dozens of science and technology officials competing for the position. When it comes to the stability of the capital, what the court needs
They are people who can actually get things done, rather than "talking" officials who generally lack practical experience.
Since His Highness Chitose has agreed to help, and if I write to my backers to express my desire, and my conditions are extremely tough, I should have a high chance of winning this position.
After finishing his own affairs, Mr. Li thought of another topic that he was very interested in. He immediately asked: "Whose family does the Superintendent of Ceremonies belong to?"
There is one eunuch in charge of the ceremony, one who holds the pen, and several eunuchs who follow the hall. As long as you can be promoted to one, it is already the pinnacle of the eunuch profession. But Li You is obviously asking about whose family the flower belongs to.
Who will be the unique chief eunuch of the ceremonial department?
Guide Chitose sighed: "In recent years, studies in the palace have been sluggish and talents have withered. There are only a few candidates. Logically speaking, the emperor should be the companion, but the queen mother is interested in Mai Cheng'en, so I have other candidates.
"
"Wu Guangen?" Li You guessed.
"Wu Guangen is certainly good, but I have a better candidate who you also know. It's Wang Qinian."
Li You was surprised and said: "Wang Qinian wants to castrate himself and enter the palace again? How can this happen!"
"Why not? Wang Qinian has given up his career as an official, but he is unwilling to do so. How can he resist the temptation of the eunuch who is the eunuch? This person is familiar with government affairs and has a good scheming mind. He is suitable to be in charge of the eunuch. I guess you
I won't go, otherwise I think you are more suitable than him... Why don't you think about it? Maybe you can become another Jiu Qian Sui." His Royal Highness Qian Sui teased Li You.
"I have absolutely no intention of doing this. Your Highness must give up!" Li You first expressed his true feelings and then advised: "Wang Qinian has a hatred for the imperial court. It is difficult to guarantee that he will not act excessively when he enters the ceremonial prison.
It will be the source of trouble! It will be too late to regret it when the imperial court is in chaos!"
Guide thought for a moment and said, "That makes sense. When I look at the internal prisons in the palace, all those who enter the palace after adulthood are narrow-minded and angry. However, those who enter the palace since childhood and grow up in the palace are a little more tolerant. However,
Do you think that this princess can't see that you are afraid that Wang Qinian's entry into the palace will be detrimental to you? You are full of truth."
It was rare that he could chat freely with His Highness Chitose, and there was no restriction of the palace gate being locked. Li You tried his best to get all kinds of precious inside information, and asked: "What about Duan Zhien, the emperor's eldest companion? Logically, he should also join the imperial palace.
From the ceremonial director.”
Guide Chitose did not refuse Li You's inquiry, and seemed to answer all questions. "The queen mother wanted to ask Mai Cheng'en to hold the seal, but Duan Zhi'en was just an eunuch with a pen, so he was very dissatisfied. But the future is long, as long as the Holy Emperor is here
, he always has the opportunity to sit on the throne of the superior, the ceremonial supervisor, and the eunuch. But I want to remind you that there seems to be a faint sign of collusion between Duan Zhien and Empress Xiao. The two of them have what they need and can help each other. "
Speaking of Empress Xiao, although Li You did a small favor to the Xiao family during the draft, it was purely a transaction and had no friendship. Now, after these two days of events, and because of Concubine Jin Xian, Li You felt that he
It's hard to get along with the Queen.
In fact, according to the tradition of the Ming Dynasty, the queen was quite weak before she became the queen mother. If she did not please the emperor, she would be bullied by the powerful palace officials, and the ministers would not be afraid of the queen. However, Mr. Li raised the alarm level out of caution.
Up several levels.
To make a disrespectful statement, if Jing and the emperor died early, and Queen Xiao became the Queen Mother Xiao, it would be a big trouble.
I don’t know how far Zhien and Empress Xiao have colluded... Li You suddenly punched the table and instigated: "These two people don't seem to be of the same mind as Your Highness, just kill these two people!"
The eldest princess could only be heard scoffing: "Don't try to test me! If there is no Queen Xiao, then there is Queen Jin; if there is no Queen Duan, there is also Queen Li Zhien! People's hearts are like this, what difference does it make to the emperor if they change?
?Be a good lover to this princess, and you don’t need to cause trouble in the palace!"
Personal affairs are private affairs, and business affairs are public affairs. Gui De Qiantose may be secretly happy that Empress Xiao made a fool of herself, but she will not have other thoughts, let alone mess around for Li You. Otherwise, she will not be evaluated by the official circles of the capital as
The word "明" (明) means "strong" and "clear".
After saying the words, and fearing that Li You would be angry, His Highness Chitose immediately reassured him, "You did a good job in the imperial prelude today. You did not blatantly resist the decree and ruined the emperor's face and dignity, but also left the emperor a way out. I appreciate all your hard work."
What I see in my eyes makes me very happy."
Li You didn't take it to heart, but sighed in his heart, how could the gap between the two siblings be so big? The elder sister could easily see his thoughts, but the younger brother was so dumb that he was completely unaware of his secret help and cooperated
There is no way to talk about it.
At that time, the emperor only needed to casually point out an eunuch around him to be the partner of the Qing emperor. After that, everyone got what they wanted and everyone was happy, and they performed a lively reconciliation between the emperor and his ministers. In the end, the emperor messed it up.
Although for him, Li You, it was not a bad thing for the emperor to mess up and reveal the secret, otherwise he would still be ignorant of Queen Xiao's thoughts. As a director, Li You instinctively hates all actors who act unreasonably.
The emperor is still young and has little experience. Although he has received good training, he can handle it well under normal circumstances and can be said to be quite satisfactory. But when he encounters an accident, he is very inadequate.
Mr. Li, who was accustomed to dealing with various professional bureaucrats, suddenly found that guessing what the slightly immature emperor would do made him unpredictable.
Princess Guide also knew the crux of this problem and pointed out: "You don't have to think too much, the Holy One will always grow up gradually. However, the level of mental skills in front of you is really not enough. If you use too high-end techniques, the Holy One will not be able to understand it, which is embarrassing.
You are playing the harp to speak to a cow. Therefore, when you are correct in the prelude, you should be more straightforward and straightforward. It is best to speak clearly, and do not follow the cloudy and foggy way of officialdom."
Li Youruo, who was almost disappointed in the director's plot today, nodded frequently if he gained something. This is probably Chitose Guide's experience.
Looking at the sun outside the window, Li You was about to say goodbye, but he couldn't help but complain a few words in his heart - this is like the reunion of lovers who have been separated for a year. Both times were heart-to-heart talks. They talked about politics, work, ideals and the future.
It's as pure as a piece of white paper, and it's not too evil.
"Wait a minute!" Princess Guide suddenly remembered something, stopped Li You and asked, "Is your Yangzhou thin horse really so good? I heard that the famous native product of Yangzhou City is the thin horse."
What are our Yangzhou thin horses? I am not a mother who raises thin horses... Li You could only turn around and replied: "There is a saying that the thin horses are listed as local products in the local chronicles, and they always have their advantages.
"
Princess Guide then ordered: "Go and pick ten of the best ones and send them to me."
Li You looked strange. Yesterday the emperor asked him for a thin horse, and today the eldest princess also came to ask for it. What happened? I have never heard of Guide Qiantai, a beautiful woman. He continued to ask: "There are many kinds of thin horses in Yangzhou, some are
Among those who play the piano and sing, some are good at reading and recitation, some are good at writing and calculation, some are good at cooking, and some are good at sleeping. Which one do you want?"
Princess Guide frowned slightly, "Master Li seems to know this very well?"
Li You said calmly without any stage fright: "I heard about it. Everyone in Yangzhou knows these things."
"Hearing is false, seeing is believing. After all, we want to wear hairpins and have the bones of prostitutes and gods." Guide Chitose sarcastically said, and ordered again as if choosing goods: "Forget those who are good at cooking, and the rest will come with three of each kind."
, I want the best one. Don’t think too much about it, I’m going to take it back to the capital as a gift. This is a great gift, don’t you men just love these.”
As expected of a political woman, Li You knew that most of these horses were used to build relationships. He suggested: "Then wait until you pass through Yangzhou on your way back before taking them with you. Otherwise, if you go down to the south of the Yangtze River with so many thin horses, it will be a waste."
burden."
The eldest princess looked out the window and said nonchalantly: "Who said I want to go to the south of the Yangtze River with you? I will stay here in Yangzhou to recuperate. After I recover, I will go back north to Beijing."
Li You couldn't help but say: "Yangzhou welcomes you!" (To be continued)
