Four hundred and ninety-six chapters recognize the general trend

Master Li was not very familiar with people from the Ministry of Industry, so he didn't know what the other person meant when he said this. After thinking about it, he couldn't tell what the other person's intention was, so he just hesitated and left.

Next, he went to the Ministry of War, and things went smoothly here. The minister was promoted to a bachelor, and the atmosphere in the Ministry of War was naturally good.

The Seal of Guanfang for the Admiral of the Five Cities Censor had already been cast after he went to the Ministry of War to ask for it last time, and was just waiting for the person in charge to pick it up. In addition, it was agreed to allocate one hundred officers and soldiers from the Beijing camp to serve as the Admiral Censor of the Five Cities.

The government office listens.

When bidding farewell, I heard an official from the Ministry of War say, "Old Yuan Ge wanted to take a step forward, but this time he was blocked by Mr. Peng Ge. It was very clever. Mr. Li did not hesitate to help."

Li You didn't know what to say. Why did everyone have to mention it when they met him? Can the conspiracy that spreads all over the sky be called a conspiracy?

Originally, he thought that others would not be able to appreciate his hard work, so he acted as a hero behind the scenes in obscurity, without the pleasure of success, but it seems that the situation is somewhat opposite.

What's the problem? Isn't it possible that Marquis Xinning's mouth is so unreliable that all the details are leaked? Mr. Li was always puzzled. He went to the Ministry of Civil Affairs full of suspicion and had a chat with Zuo Langzhong of the Wenxuan Department.

.

Sure enough, he saw Zuo Langzhong again and said with a smile: "The blow that Mr. Yuan Ge received from the sap must have been caused by you."

In front of casual acquaintances, Li You couldn't say much, but he had a different relationship with Zuo Langzhong, so he asked seriously: "Where did you hear about Zuo Bulang?"

Zuo Langzhong was quite puzzled by Li You's serious expression. "It's just a joke, why are you so serious?"

Are you joking? Mr. Li was very surprised and asked: "Can you joke about such a thing?"

Zuo Langzhong explained: "You don't know yet? Last time during the early morning court at Huangjimen, six subordinate officials and I were chatting together about the affairs of the cabinet. Someone joked, although there was no basis for it, but I knew it must be Li Qianxian.

What you did.

I asked him the reason, and he said that all the benefits of the cabinet change belong to you. From the outside, you are the only one who benefits the most, so what evidence is needed? But I can't believe that it was you who manipulated it, and no one else can.

Don’t worry about it. These words are being passed around among the six departments as a joke, so why should you take it seriously?”

This... Mr. Li was speechless and choked after knowing the situation. There is always a shortage of smart people in the court, so even a random guesser without any evidence can guess the truth.

In retrospect, this cabinet change can be summarized into three things -

The first one is that Lu Shangshu pressured Yan Shangshu into the cabinet. He Li You gained a new backer in the central government and was extremely benefited. The second one was that Xu Shoufu broke with Peng Ge Lao, and his Li You's arch-enemy was weakened. This was a huge benefit;

The third thing is that the elderly Mr. Peng Ge replaced Mr. Yuan Ge as the second assistant, paving the way for Mr. Xu Ge's reinstatement. He, Li You, still benefited...

These three things involve different positions. Others may benefit from one of them, but it seems that no one else can benefit from all three things except him, Li You.

Moreover, both the first and second incidents were publicly facilitated by Li You in the name of Ting Ji, but the change of position of the second assistant made everyone in the court inexplicable. They could not find the cause and effect, and only Peng Ge took refuge with the Queen Mother.

A reason worth considering.

So when others were chatting and joking, they would blame the third thing on Mr. Li. Anyway, Mr. Li has already done two things, so there is no need for one more. Besides, he has a bad relationship with Peng and Yuan Erge.

, I don’t care if I have one more thing.

At this point, Li You finally understood that the officials from the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of War were joking with him in a joking manner, which made him think wildly for a long time as if he was facing a formidable enemy.

Mr. Li suddenly looked solemn and said to Zuo Langzhong: "You guessed it right. Mr. Peng Ge served as the second assistant, and he indeed persuaded the Queen Mother to do what he did. I didn't expect you to see through it so easily. How can I deal with it?"

.”

Zuo Langzhong laughed loudly, "A joke is just a joke. It will only make people laugh after tea and dinner. Even if you admit it casually, it will not become true."

Li You also smiled at each other. It was not until he left the official department that his smile gradually subsided. Through this joke, which sounded like fiction but was actually real, he felt as if he had realized something, and he couldn't help but stand on the edge of the road and fell into

meditation.

Things have been going well in the recent period, everything has developed according to my expectations, and my own performance has been outstanding. However, the words "things must be reversed" are really profound, and such a situation has actually occurred.

This situation can only be understood but cannot be expressed in words. On the surface, it is just a joke. There is nothing else and it will not pose a threat for the time being.

But you are remembered no matter what, and you are hit by arrows everywhere. This makes you a person with nowhere to hide, which will be extremely miserable in political battles. If you find out that others are hiding something, at least you will lose the ability to take them by surprise.

Ability.

Continuing to dig deeper, this situation is very subtle and dangerous. There is a reason why such a joke occurs, and this reason is what really deserves attention.

If you defeat someone, you will also create this kind of situation, so you have to be vigilant. Even if you can defeat all opponents, as long as you ignore the general trend, you will definitely lose in the end.

Throughout the ages, there have been many heroes who were invincible, but if they were short-sighted, they would end up in tragedy. For example, Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu, could defeat everyone in the world, but he could not defeat the power of the world. He was almost invincible for several years, but

In the end, he committed suicide in Wujiang River.

Thinking of this, Li You secretly made a decision.

In the past month, due to the resignation of Xu Cifu Dingyou, he had no one to support him and was unable to gain a firm foothold in the official circles of the capital. Therefore, he had to do his best to take advantage of the situation, repeatedly launching surprise troops and constantly plotting various conspiracies, which brought fruitful consequences.

At the same time, this extraordinary performance also had a great impact on the princes of the imperial court...

Now that the unfavorable situation has been reversed, Mr. Lu has successfully entered the cabinet and became the fourth Grand Scholar of Wuying Palace. It is expected that Mr. Xu Ge’s ally, Mr. Yang Ge, the Grand Scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, can help each other, but he himself should stay away a little.

It's time to go to court.

Therefore, it is not necessarily a bad thing to return to the post of Admiral of the Five Cities and be removed from the court service. He does not have to leave the officialdom of the capital, but can also achieve a buffer between him and the court and concentrate on his duties.

From then on, Mr. Li put aside the affairs of the court, no longer cared about the rights and wrongs in the court, and devoted himself wholeheartedly to the construction of the Admiral's Office of the Censor in the Five Cities.

The Admiral's Wucheng Yushi Yamen, like most of the Metropolitan Procuratorate's foreign missions, adopts a single-official system. There is only one chief official in the Yamen, and there are no subordinate officials. There are only clerks working internally. From the governor to the inspector, it is better to be like this

.

Towards the end of the month, Wanping County sent forty officers, the Ministry of War dispatched a sentry officer, and the Ministry of Personnel transferred ten officials. At that time, the manpower was fully available, the house was cleaned, and the imperial prison and prison left by Jinyiwei were even worse.

Because it is strong, it can still be used. Only the fence is still under construction, but the government office can be opened.

The two masters, Cui Zhenfei and Zhou Jiexi, had been idle for more than a month, and finally found a place to use themselves again. One was responsible for paperwork and prison cases, and the other was responsible for receiving money and food.

Mr. Li announced to the capital the opening of the Yamen. The ceremony location was not at the Yamen, but rather unique.

September 29th was the day of the court meeting. The weather was already slightly cold in the early morning, and the courtiers got up and went out of their homes to gather in the palace.

The sky was dark and bright, and many courtiers saw a new scenery on their way to court.

An ordinary but extraordinary team appeared on the street. There was a pair of red-painted wooden sticks in the lead, twenty officers supporting in front, forty officers and soldiers shouting in the rear, followed by a carriage; in the middle was a large hat carried by four people.

The sedan, and two strong men holding green umbrella canopies followed closely to the left and right, and the hanging fringed ribbons fluttered slightly in the morning breeze.

Calling it ordinary is not unusual in prefectures and counties. The dignified travels of people-friendly officials are almost like this, or even more so. Many courtiers who have served as local officials saw this team and couldn't help but remember their own time.

The green years when I was the county magistrate...

But what is unusual is that this is the capital at the feet of the emperor. There will never be an umbrella covering the head of the ministers and ministers, and there will not be so many officers and soldiers cheering behind them.

So one night, Li You let the officials in the capital know that the Admiral's Yamen of the Five Cities Censors had been opened!

According to the imperial edict, Li You spent nearly two hours touring around the imperial city and returned to the government office at noon. After finishing his meal, he began to think about his next move.

Generally, the biggest problem in establishing a new government office is the division of functions and powers. The imperial edict provides only a general direction, and the specific subdivisions must be explored in practice and submitted to the imperial court for approval.

For example, the imperial court allowed the Admiral Wucheng Censor's Office to have the power to accept lawsuits and hear cases, but what level of cases could be judged had to be negotiated with the Ministry of Punishment. According to the practice of patrolling the city censor, only land, land, marriage, contracts, money and debts could be judged.

Wait for civil cases and criminal cases with a penalty of less than 100 canes, or raise the level and sentence cases with less than 100 canes?

Li You knew that in order to redraw new power boundaries from the existing order, it was necessary to connect with both superiors and subordinates at the same time.

The responsibilities of the city inspection and military division systems are extremely detailed. There are five inner and outer cities and thirty-six squares, which are almost all-encompassing in city management. If we only focus on the main responsibilities, the administrative office of the five-city censorship can be divided into

There are two major parts: one is public security and criminal duties, and the other is street and ditch management, which corresponds upward to the Ministry of Punishment and the Ministry of Works.

But before communicating with your boss, you have to straighten out your internal relationships so that you can have the confidence to negotiate with your boss.

According to the definition of the imperial court, the Admiral's Office of the Censor of the Five Cities is under the jurisdiction of the Military and Horse Department of the Five Cities and controls the censors who patrol the cities in the five cities. There are ten units in total, which is really a lot.

It should also be noted that there is a distinction between the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division and the patrol censors. One is under the jurisdiction, and the other is just for control.

It takes time for these relationships to be sorted out slowly, Li You couldn't help but sigh. There are no rules before taking over a newly established yamen. Everything must be created by oneself, which is a long and arduous task.

He immediately issued the first order, calling the five commanders of the five military divisions to meet at the Admiral's Wucheng Censor's Office!
