I saw Inspector Liu breaking into the public house and saying, "What a coincidence. It turns out that your worthy son-in-law is also in the county government office. I have good news for you."
He was directly promoted from a good nephew to a good son-in-law...
Li You was already numb to Liu's inspection and gave up his seat without mentioning it.
Master Liu then took a sip of tea and said, "My dear son-in-law, this tea is still so bad. Now we are a family. We shouldn't go outside. Go get some from my place."
You can say whatever you like, Li You is too lazy to speak and lowers his head in silence.
Inspector Liu did not take it seriously and said to himself: "I am over fifty years old and my body is getting weaker. I am gradually unable to do the hard work of the inspection department. I have long wanted to go home to recuperate. According to the system of this dynasty, my inspection is
The child born to me is only seven years old and cannot be replaced for the time being. So I thought of a way and asked you to come and inspect for ten years."
Being the Ninth Grade inspector? Li You suddenly raised his head in shock and said, "How is this possible?"
Inspector Liu chuckled, "Don't you seem to know that this dynasty has a system of loaning one's office?"
Of course Li You doesn't know...
Speaking of the Ming Dynasty, after the Jiashen Rebellion, the military system changed drastically and was divided into two systems: the elite recruited army and the local rural army. The appointment of low-level military attachés in the local rural army still followed the old tradition before Jiashen, that is, military attache replacement
The system includes inspections, and the succession of positions is based on the order of succession of father to son and brother to brother.
But there are special circumstances, that is, if the father dies or is too old and can no longer hold the position, and the son is too young to hold the position. In this case, there is a loan system that allows people to be selected from relatives such as brothers and nephews to temporarily take over the position.
, is called borrowing the position. When the real heir reaches adulthood, the person who borrowed the position will return the position to the real heir.
This was what Inspector Liu had in mind. His first wife only gave birth to a daughter, but his concubine gave birth to a son when he was in his forties. He was only seven years old this year. So Inspector Liu thought of letting his son-in-law serve as a ten-year-old son on loan.
He will be inspected every year, and the position will be returned to his adult son after ten years.
You really can be an official... When Li You heard this, he was shocked and delighted. He almost impulsively hugged Liu Inspector's thigh and shouted "Father-in-law", his daughter even recognized him as a pig.
But he calmed down immediately and thought of some questions. Li You asked: "From what Mr. Liu said, the people who borrowed their posts are all brothers or nephews, and the son-in-law is a son-in-law with a foreign surname. This is only between two things. Can the Ministry of War be sure?
"
Inspector Liu replied: "Of course it is accurate. I have taught Lu Shangshu to be accurate." Seeing that Li You didn't believe it, he said proudly: "When I was young, I was a... thug of the Lu family, no,
It's the nursing home. Later, he served in the army and made great achievements. Thanks to Lu Shangshu's care, he got this inspection official position. In the past few days, I went to see the old master and asked him for permission."
Li You calmed down the excitement in his heart and quickly considered the matter. After weighing the advantages and disadvantages, I won't talk about the advantages. Everyone knows the advantages of being an official. But there are also many disadvantages of doing this inspection:
First, you can't work for a lifetime, you can only work for ten years. After ten years, you will still be a commoner. No matter how good your future is, it will be in vain and you will pave the way for others.
The second is that these days, the civil servants are noble and the military are humble. Although the status of military attaches has been improved after Jiashen, they do not have to kowtow when meeting civilian officials, and they can fight against each other in etiquette. But in the eyes of the civil servants and scholars in power, what is wrong with military attachés, especially low-level military attachés?
Considered an official.
Thirdly, since time traveling, I have been on a ragged road, and I have managed to gain a reputation as a literary talent. I have gained a little bit of reputation, so that I can be noticed by the literati, so that I will not turn away when I meet you.
Go. Now that you have turned around and become a small military leader, can you still maintain your previous image of a romantic celebrity? Will all your previous hard work be in vain?
Finally, after several interactions, how can we tell that Inspector Liu is such a sincere and kind person? Doesn’t he have other relatives? He dares to give an official position to an outsider for nothing.
Thinking of this, Li You bowed humbly and declined: "I have little talent and little virtue, and it is difficult for me to take on important responsibilities. Please, Mr. Liu, choose a virtuous person from among the clan members."
Inspector Liu praised: "As expected of a person whom I value, you can calmly think at this time." Then he slammed the table and said: "The matter has come to this, today you and my son-in-law should have a heart-to-heart talk! I understand that I am right.
Just tell me, I don’t dare to let my nephews and nephews come to borrow their posts. They are all members of my Liu family. Ten years later, I’m afraid there will be a story about Liu Bei borrowing money from Jingzhou! If you don’t repay your borrowed posts, you will continue to do so in a muddle-headed manner.
It’s not like things like this have never happened before in our dynasty.”
Li You suddenly realized that Inspector Liu had this concern. If he was given a job with a foreign surname, and ten years later he wanted to cheat, and the Liu family came to fight, he really was not Liu, and there was no way he could keep Liu on the Ministry of War roster.
It is a hereditary position. But if Inspector Liu lent it to a member of his family and defaulted on the job, as long as the person who borrowed the job managed it properly, he would dare to refuse the position.
Inspector Liu said he was thirsty and took two sips of bad tea: "Originally, I was worried that you, a small official, were too weak and would make a fool of yourself by recruiting your son-in-law to take up a military position. I was hesitating. I happened to see you fighting at Beiqiu Temple that day.
Shanmen is also very brave and brave, so I know that you are not without blood and courage, so I feel relieved."
The biggest consequences of beating the monk finally emerged. No wonder Inspector Liu spoke highly of Li Dianshi's behavior of beating the monk that day... It's also no wonder that the Buddhist theory of karma is so popular...
Seeing Mr. Liu and his good son-in-law chatting happily, the situation suddenly changed. Inspector Liu suddenly turned his face and scolded Li You: "I almost forgot that you are a bastard!"
Li Youzheng was perfunctory with Liu's inspection while calculating the gains and losses. Hearing this sentence suddenly, he was confused and didn't know how to deal with it.
"The night before yesterday, what happened to you on the flower boat was known to everyone in the city. How could I not know about it?" Inspector Liu scolded with an annoyed look on his face: "I warned you not to engage in prostitution at a young age.
, you thought it turned a deaf ear?"
Li You quickly defended: "Master Liu is wrong. The rumors cannot be trusted. I was just discussing poetry and literature on the boat."
Inspector Liu sneered: "Although your reputation was just like that before, I have carefully investigated it. Apart from your concubine, you also have a close relationship with Sister Li Mei, and you are not as unbearable as the rumors say."
.Based on your age and status, it seems that you are a person who knows how to control yourself and love yourself, otherwise I would dare to marry my daughter to you?"
As he spoke, Inspector Liu's voice became louder again, "I have a kind heart and don't want to deceive, so I told the truth about my daughter's situation. But what did you do? Then I ran to the flower boat and indulged in excess,
Who is this for? Is it for my Liu family? You dare to say it’s not the case!"
Li You really has this idea.
Inspector Liu stood up and kicked over the desk, walked up to Li You, and glared at Li You.
Li You looked at Inspector Liu without fear. This method was too old-fashioned. Isn't it the idea of using both kindness and power? The ninth-grade military attache only had this kind of strategy in mind. He probably got it from some romance novel.
I don’t know the truth, but I still feel guilty about you. Now I understand clearly, what else is there to be afraid of? It’s not like I’m crying and begging you. The military attaché of the ninth grade inspection can only be a military attache for ten years. I’m completely
Can be done or not done.
When Inspector Liu saw that Li You was calm and unintimidated, he couldn't help but laugh twice and said: "Boy Li, don't be sentimental. The biggest reason why I like you is not your bullshit talents, but your body!"
After saying that he couldn't help laughing and left.
Inspector Liu is interested in Li You’s body? That’s right.
Do you accept it or not? Li You thought about this all day long, and then sadly realized that he didn't have much choice. These days, parents' orders are not just words. It's better to accept the reality. This kind of wife should be invited back.
Buddha statues are kept at home.
These are not urgent matters at the moment. As for now, it is better to concentrate on official duties and not let the elder get angry again.
