Four hundred and sixty-one chapters Li You of grief and indignation
At this moment, Mr. Xu, the second assistant, looked at Li You with complicated emotions. This time, Li You held the provisions of the ancestral law and under the banner of clarifying the system, wanted to sweep the cabinet bachelors out of the court. This made him, the Jianjidian University
How shameful is the sentiment of a scholar?
No wonder Li You gave him such a tangled and lustful look before he started to attack. He dared Li You to launch an indiscriminate attack, but as a member of the cabinet, he would be hit by an arrow even if he was lying down.
However, Xu Cifu is not a narrow-minded person. He understands Li You's difficulties very well. Now the cabinet has become one of the two major obstacles hindering Li You's selection. If the cabinet is not swept out this time, Ting Tui will not be able to pass the test.
If Li You can really take over as the imperial envoy of Qiandu, it will not be a bad thing for him, it can even be said to be a great good thing, and he will definitely become the backbone of the party members.
Assuming that Li You succeeds, Xu Cifu considers the loss of the cabinet's say in personnel and administration and finds that it may not be a bad thing.
This time, six academicians were damaged at the same time. Compared to other colleagues, he did not lose much. At the same time, because Zhao Liangren, the official minister of the foreign court, was an ally, his control over the government was strengthened.
Li You's fellow countryman, Zhao Tianguan, although his face remained expressionless for thousands of years, secretly cheered for Li You. If this little fellow countryman really has this ability, it would be a great blessing for him to overthrow the current court recommendation system in one fell swoop!
Just imagine, you can know that when there is no Grand Scholar Zaifu in the court, and there is no king to supervise the court, who among the participants is the boss who leads the trend? It is definitely the unique Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs!
Even if Li You doesn't succeed today, as long as he dares to stand up and raise this topic and cause the courtiers to talk about it, it will be a considerable gain. If you have a beginning, are you afraid that there will be no follow-up?
It is said that Mr. Li borrowed Volume 5 of the Hui Dian with the intention of studying the court recommendation procedures. Unexpectedly, he discovered that Jing He's court recommendation was not consistent with the Hui Dian, and he was immediately overjoyed.
According to his prior thinking, as long as the situation is not good today, he will bring out the pawn as the "ancestral law" anyway, which can at least be used as a delaying measure. In fact, this is exactly what he did. As for the rest, he will rely on improvisation.
.
Li You currently has no energy to think about the subsequent changes that he may cause. He is racking his brains to consider the next step.
At present, he is the only one standing alone in front of Dan Majesty, shouting the ancestral method at the top of his lungs, while others are talking about it, some are pretending to be dumb, some are watching the excitement, and no one responds to the invitation, and no one praises it. Probably because they feel that this topic
It's too serious, and if you don't do anything right, it's easy for someone to take advantage of you, so you don't dare to answer easily.
Poor Mr. Li, although he has raised a banner that no one can compete with, the actual lethality so far is very lacking.
Two consecutive petitions failed to create a breakthrough with Queen Mother Qian, leaving Li You helpless.
He had no choice but to turn around, with a solemn look on his face, and saluted Xu Yue, the first assistant, and said: "Our Ming Dynasty has its own system. The inner court and the outer court each have their own duties and checks and balances. This can ensure that the emperor will not listen to partial beliefs.
How can the inner court extend to the outside world? This will lead to a single talk, which is not a long-term solution!"
He also advised: "The elder of the pavilion is among the top ministers. He is an excellent minister. He should live up to his own example and advise the emperor to know his way back. Otherwise, he may be derelict in his duties! How will future generations regard him?"
Although Li You took the initiative to come to the door and hinted at provocative tactics, Xu Shoufu still did not answer and did not fall into the trap. He glanced at Li You indifferently, and his inner evaluation was only one word, high-sounding!
Having said all this, isn't it just to review the official position of the Imperial Envoy of Qiandu? If the cabinet withdraws from the court discussion, then won't Zhao Tianguan become the leader of the outer court? If Zhao and Xu join forces with the outside world, it will definitely not be a good thing.
Xu Shoufu didn't want to get entangled with Li You, or even talk to Li You. Seeing that Li You continued to talk to him, he felt very bored. He passed by Li You and stepped forward to greet the Empress Dowager Cisheng: "Please, Holy Mother
If you issue an order to the court again, you don’t have to be disturbed by external things."
Although the actual popularity of the Chief Minister is only four or five in the cabinet, he is still an official for more than 20 years, and he has the ability to deal with problems.
It's very simple. Don't mention a word about the ceremony, ignore Li You's actions, put aside all disputes, and just hold the nomination as usual. Then Li You is just a candidate waiting for the results, and he is not a formal participant in the nomination.
It doesn't matter whether there is a courtier or not, and his attitude actually doesn't matter either.
The Empress Dowager Cisheng's identity is only arbitrary, so naturally she will not argue with Li You about what is right or wrong, but it is not convenient for her to ignore the ceremony and issue an order directly. Finally, when someone came to ask for it, she quickly issued an order: "According to the order!"
The theatergoers secretly sighed, that's it this time. They haven't seen each other for more than a year. Although Mr. Li is still charming and will never admit defeat, there is really no hope this time. The Queen Mother and the first assistant suppressed him at the same time. This kind of weight is very important.
It's hard to argue with it.
In fact, Mr. Li has tried his best, but his arms cannot twist his thighs. In the face of absolute strength, all strategies are useless. However, he has successfully raised the topic of the imperial council system, and the follow-up will definitely not be discontinued. In the future, overt and covert fights will be inevitable for this.
Li You returned to the palace gate with a dejected face, and lined up with the other two candidates, waiting for the final judgment.
Zhao Tianguan started presiding over the court for the third time. This time there was no accident to interrupt him, and it started smoothly.
Master Tianguan again remembered that this time there was still a court debate in accordance with the instructions. He secretly thought that with Li You's sharp tongue, there might be some surprises. Then he stopped the ministers from painting the inscriptions and ordered the remaining three people.
Go forward and make a statement before the emperor.
This link was specially designed by the Queen Mother for her preferred candidates, in order to increase the performance opportunities of the two people and make up for some shortcomings that did not go through the civilian selection channel.
Mr. Li looked desolate and despairing, and weakly waved his hands to let the other two go first. An Guogong's son-in-law, Huang Jian, the young minister of Guanglu Temple, and Zeng Chun, a member of Chengguo Gong's clan and a fellow aide to Wuchang Prefecture, stepped forward respectively.
Take out your personal statement and describe it yourself.
Some kind-hearted courtiers secretly lamented that they did not take the matter too seriously at first. They only thought that it was impossible for the honorable relatives to be selected, and the Queen Mother's nomination was just a foil. No one thought in advance that they would actually let the two people who came out halfway.
A foil was selected.
The Queen Mother calculated with intention but not with intention. It is a pity for Li You. From a public perspective, among the remaining three, Li You should have the strongest political ability, and he got here through the right path of selection. It's just that among people
In this world, being right does not mean winning.
Zhao Tianguan sighed and said to Li You, "It's your turn."
Master Li, who was doomed to fail, dragged his heavy footsteps and slowly came to the front of Lord Dan. He was silent for a moment under the sympathetic gazes of everyone, and then he said: "I have a weak talent and a weak virtue. I am willing to give in to the good and withdraw from the election."
What? Quit? The words shocked everyone in the palace, and Li You actually resigned as a candidate?
The slow-minded people are still wondering, but the fast-thinking people have quickly thought that once Li You also withdraws, then among the five candidates for the nomination this time, wouldn't all the three righteous candidates who have been selected by the civil servants withdraw?
And it seems that they were all forced to withdraw due to external pressure! If they were defeated due to insufficient support during the election, it would at least be superficially fair, and everyone could still pretend to be confused, but now they are all forced to withdraw!
Candidates for civil servants who had passed the formal examination were forced to give in one by one before they were elected! Before the election began, they were all wiped out due to unfair factors from the royal family and their relatives!
In a fair election, the candidates were selected for high-ranking officials among civil servants. In the end, only senior relatives were left as candidates. What political significance does this represent?
In the Golden Palace, this happened in full view of more than forty civil servants and courtiers. What a loud slap! At this time, all the ministers felt ashamed and angry in unison!
Who can stand up and take responsibility for the consequences? Xu Shoufu and Mr. Peng Ge's faces turned pale.
In the silence caused by the shock, Li You spoke with emotion and anger: "Government is the most important weapon of the country, and the method of court promotion is to gather public opinion and select the virtuous! Today's court promotion, the official department prepares for the review
Choose three people, let’s count them all! But the Holy Mother nominated two people, and surprisingly only the results are left. I am young and have little knowledge, so I don’t know if this is the right way?
If it is in accordance with the laws of nature, then the Holy Mother alone can decide all the official positions. Why does it need public review? What else does it need to do? Maybe this is a sign of the decline and decline of national affairs. I want to cry for it! I don’t know, you gentlemen.
If you are a member of the imperial family, you cannot be ashamed if you are a member of the government?"
Li You's almost outrageous accusation echoed in the hall. The candidate named Huang Jian became a little anxious and reprimanded Li You: "You are alarmist and have ulterior motives!"
Li You squinted at him and said, "I want to go to the ancestral mausoleum to cry at the mausoleum. I also said these few words. Can you care about it?"
Anyone who hears this sentence will be choked and speechless.
The words of crying at the ancestor's mausoleum came out... Xu Cifu, who was not far away, secretly smiled bitterly. Li You can indeed use every advantage in him to the limit. How many people in the world today dare to casually say that they will cry at the ancestor's mausoleum?
Li You stood up to leave, but suddenly he stared at Xu Shoufu and scolded him sternly: "Dear Ming Dynasty, the country uses you as the chief minister, but you are just a clay puppet! Seeing that the king is acting against the will, but he is helping the evil, and collaborating with the king to disrupt the imperial court.
Don’t dare to say anything to remonstrate! What is the use of such a chief minister? Do you still have the face to stand in the temple?"
After Li You reprimanded them like this, others suddenly discovered that Xu Shoufu, Mr. Peng Ge and Queen Mother Qian really seemed to be in the same group today.
When Li You moved out of the ceremony, Mr. Peng Ge jumped out and reprimanded Li You for being bold. When Li You advised Queen Mother Qian to follow the laws of the ancestors, Xu Shoufu came forward to ask Queen Mother Qian to ignore Li You's interference and continue to recommend.
It is not an exaggeration to say that he aided the tyranny and single-handedly caused today's major political accidents.
In fact, everyone knows that these two people may not really have the same heart as the Empress Dowager Cisheng, but the responsibility must be shouldered by someone other than themselves, although it may not be of any practical use.
There are also conspiracy theorists who secretly analyze that this must be Li You's conspiracy! Li You's scheming is so terrible, he plays everyone on the palm of his hand from beginning to end! (To be continued)
