Five hundred and eighteen chapters accompanied by the king like a tiger
Someone immediately held Dai Miaozhu down, and Han Zong went to the house to get a bowl of water and poured it on Dai Miaozhu's face.
In this cold night, Dai Miaozhu suddenly took a cold shock and woke up from the drunkenness. However, the scene when he was drunk was still remembered in his mind. Dai Miaozhu opened his mouth in panic and forgot how to speak for a while.
The people who came with him came forward anxiously and said to Li You: "We are all from Xujiang County. Brother Dai suffered a disaster the day before yesterday and was released today. He was in a depressed mood, so I and other fellow villagers treated him to a meal.
Drinking to relieve my sorrow, I accidentally offended this gentleman..."
Seeing that he was a fellow countryman, Li You said magnanimously: "I am Li You. I won't argue with him. Just take him back!"
The shadow of the famous tree, everyone in Xujiang knew who Li You was when they heard about him. Those people bowed respectfully and took the Daimiao Zhujie out.
Li You and Zhu Fanghe returned to the Nuan Pavilion to drink. The old madam came in with expectant faces and asked: "Do you two gentlemen need someone else to accompany you to drink?"
Just as Li You was about to speak, Zhu Fanghe rushed in front and waved his hand: "I've had too much fun tonight, so I won't bother you anymore. I'll just say a few words here and leave."
That was what he said, but Zhu Fanghe then held the cup and kept silent, his face became solemn.
Li You was puzzled. Why did Zhu Fanghe seem to have changed his appearance? Could it be...
He probed: "Qingqing Zijin, my heart is so long, but for the sake of you, I have been thinking about it till now?"
Zhu Fanghe nodded subconsciously in deep thought.
Li You probed again: "Hongdou doesn't want to have fun at night, but Jintang remembers the year of Feng'en?"
Zhu Fanghe nodded subconsciously.
Li You slapped the case and said sadly: "I see that you are usually very free and heroic. Why did you act like a mother-in-law when this happened? I'm sure I won't fight with you. Don't you still believe me? She is gone now
, your body already belongs to someone else, what’s the use of you sighing and complaining here? She doesn’t know what you’re thinking at all!”
Zhu Fanghe woke up from his meditation and was very confused. "What are you talking about?"
Li You taught: "If you have other thoughts about Miss Yu Linglong, you shouldn't be so reserved. It's better to be more open-minded and honest!"
"Who cares about Miss Yu Linglong? Don't make random guesses. What I was thinking about just now was the emperor." Zhu Fanghe refutes the truth seriously.
"What!" Li You was shocked and said in horror: "You have thoughts about the emperor? There are so many pretty little officials in the old curtain alley, why should you..."
Zhu Fanghe's face turned red with anger. "I wanted to tell you the secrets of the DPRK. If you continue to be so pretentious, I will leave!"
Li You lowered his head and drank, only pricking up his ears and not continuing to speak. He had already forced Mr. Fanghe to talk, so there was no need to talk any more, otherwise it would be boring to watch the boring gourd monster.
Zhu Fanghe put down the wine cup and said, "Your Majesty, please leave and go to the Ministry of Punishments, Mr. Chang, the Left Assistant Minister..."
This was not a small noise. Li You put away his mind and listened carefully.
"The reason is that you are stupid and incompetent. You are incompetent in doing things and you are deceiving the emperor with big words. Speaking of which, it all has something to do with you."
Although Zhu Bulang did not elaborate on how it was related, Li You could guess it. In the process of Li You and the Ministry of Punishment entangled the judicial power of the capital, Chang Shilang played the role of a hawk in the Ministry of Punishment.
But the first time Chang Shilang advocated to take over the Dengwengu case, it turned out to be a joke and the trial could not be continued. He wanted to refer it to the Holy Judge, which made Long Yan unhappy; the second time he took the initiative to investigate the Dengwengu case, he was convicted.
The eldest princess took the initiative to take over her own responsibility, but on the other side was Mr. Peng Ge. He was unable to investigate further.
This unlucky minister failed to achieve anything in the first two times, and he was not popular with the emperor. If he wanted to be dismissed, who could make any objection to it? At least the left minister of the Ministry of Punishment couldn't do it.
Chang Shilang was Mr. Peng Ge's confidant and pawn. He became a victim this time. Li You had no feelings at all. He just secretly thought that Mr. Peng Ge would probably regret it this time.
Indeed, Mr. Peng Ge would never have thought that he would play a little trick for a while, but after being exploited by someone with good intentions, the matter continues to this day and cannot be completely resolved. It is really no small matter in the temple...
"Do you know who will succeed the left minister of the Ministry of Justice?" Zhu Fanghe continued to break the news: "The one you saw during the southern tour was Bai Hanlin, the bachelor!"
Mr. Li's feelings about this news are that it is both unexpected and reasonable. Bachelor Bai is one of the emperor's attendants and a teacher. It is normal for the emperor to deliberately promote him after he takes office, especially when he is eating.
He learned the lesson of mistakenly driving Li You out of the court.
Academician Bai is a fifth-rank official, and Zuo Shilang is a third-rank official, but that doesn't matter. It's normal for Hanlin, a clear stream among the clear stream, to jump up the ranks and be promoted to other yamen after receiving the Holy Family.
The emperor's dismissal of Chang Shilang was a relatively normal personnel change, but it was very meaningful to let Bai Xueshi take over as Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Justice.
This is a chicken-and-egg problem. Did Chang Shilang be dismissed first, and then Bachelor Bai took over? Or did Bachelor Bai need to enter the Sixth Department first, and then he found an excuse to remove Chang Shilang to make way for his position?
If the truth is the former, it doesn't matter; if the truth is the latter, it's worth noting. As a qualified courtier, you should especially note that, in theory, being a minister in the dynasty is enough to join the cabinet.
qualifications.
Although it has become a practice in recent years for ministers to enter the cabinet, it is still a feasible system to enter the Zhiwenyuan Pavilion as a minister. If the emperor particularly trusts someone, but cannot be promoted to a high position as a minister in a hurry, then let him serve as a minister
It is not impossible to be admitted to the cabinet. But if someone enters the cabinet, someone must come out...
After thinking about this, Mr. Li understood. No wonder Mr. Zhu Fanghe's face was solemn. He also understood that Zhu Fanghe's main purpose of coming to him tonight was to talk about this. Listening to music and the like were all excuses to deceive others.
He asked in a low voice: "In your opinion, does the Holy One have any intention of going to war?"
Zhu Fanghe smiled bitterly and said a famous saying: "It doesn't matter."
Is it unnecessary or maybe there is? This is probably the maximum dimension that Zhu Bulang can reveal.
Li You also thought of the delay in the Minister of War's decision, which may have been taken into consideration by the emperor. He couldn't help but comment: "The emperor is not as young as the weak crown. Time is on his side. There is no need to rush. The spring breeze should turn into rain and moisten things silently. If
Having just taken charge, he is so worried and anxious, which will inevitably make the officials wary."
Zhu Fanghe also sighed: "Although fights in the court are common, we just had a fight with the Queen Mother last time, and it is the end of the year, so people's minds are calm. By the way, before the end of the year, we sent to Nanjing to investigate the salt case.
The imperial envoy is about to return to Beijing, and the emperor is still waiting for this."
From a purely technical perspective, Mr. Li gave the Emperor a nine-point score for this move.
The emperor took advantage of Mr. Peng Ge's unprecedented isolation and took advantage of the situation to get rid of Chang Shilang, who was neither big nor small enough to shock the court, and then quickly replaced him with his close associates. After that, he could advance, attack, retreat or defend, letting the public know about it.
The attitude of the minister, then move with the camera.
Using the Lianghuai Salt Case as a weapon, it could at least suppress Xu Shoufu from moving arbitrarily, and it was also equivalent to a sharp sword hanging over the Ministry of Household Affairs.
This Mr. Pengge is in a state of collapse. Everyone wants to take advantage of him. It doesn't matter if he declines, but everyone thinks that he will die if he has already declined.
Li You dared to conclude that if Mr. Peng Ge resigned sadly and the position of Grand Bachelor was vacant, then it must be Bachelor Bai who moved from the position of Zuo Shilang of the Criminal Department to the Zuo Shilang of the Household Department, and then moved to Zhiwen Yuan Pavilion to fill the vacant post of Grand Bachelor and Counselor of Machinery.
But technology is technology, and there are other factors on top of technology. Nowadays, the whole court is really determined and does not want to cause trouble. It is enough for the emperor to watch chess, so why bother to play chess in person.
To use an analogy, for the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, the emperor who had just taken charge was the new outsider who entered the court. No matter where he is, if a newcomer is too public, he will definitely arouse the resentment of the elderly. This has nothing to do with stance or morality, it is an instinctive reaction of human nature.
This is also the reason why Mr. Li was exempted from attending the imperial court by Yuan Ge Laozhu, and both his enemies and friends felt inexplicably happy to hear and see him. It can also be regarded as the price he paid for seizing power.
Master Li suddenly felt that it was a good thing that he was kicked out of the court and did not become a close minister of the emperor. The current emperor was far from mature. What's more, if the emperor asked him to go out as a thug at this time, what would he do?
manage?
However, Li You was still confused about something. According to his visual inspection, the emperor did not have such meticulous thoughts and standards. Where did this extraordinary performance come from?
Zhu Fanghe only said three words: "Duan Zhien."
Master Li couldn't help but sigh after hearing this. Eunuchs influence the emperor and indeed have an inherent advantage over civil servants. This is a real experience.
Mr. Fanghe raised his head to drink again, and after taking a few sips of wine, he said: "It's hard to do! It's hard to do!"
Li You praised Zhu Fanghe sympathetically. He knew without asking that as a distant relative of the emperor's trusted family, Zhu Fanghe was afraid that he would be ordered to do some small things by the emperor.
But Zhu Fanghe was an imperial examination explorer, and his experience was the standard path of studying to become an official. Culturally and psychologically, he was more similar to a scholar-bureaucrat, so he was conflicted in his heart, and he repeatedly said that it was "difficult to do."
Mr. Li suddenly realized the profound meaning of accompanying a king like a tiger. Understanding the king as a tiger is the most superficial level. In fact, the real tiger is not the king, but the power game that surrounds the king!
Moreover, the power game between monarchs and ministers in the temple often has no way out, and there will no longer be a higher-level big shot to control the situation.
He said to Zhu Fanghe straightforwardly: "I am very lucky to be away from the court. I just heard what you said, and it seems to have little to do with me. But you should be careful!"
Having said this, Mr. Li couldn't help but feel a little complacent. It was a blessing in disguise. He left the court during this period and just avoided it this time. I don't know how much trouble he saved.
Zhu Fanghe supported the table and replied: "Who said it has nothing to do with you? Whose order do you think I am patiently talking to you for?"
Mr. Fanghe was too drunk and stayed here for the night, while Li You wanted to go home. The old bustard diligently sent Mr. Li to the door of the courtyard. Li You asked casually: "I wonder whose house the jade exquisite has fallen into?"
"He is a bachelor of Hanlin Academy, so he is a perfect match of talent and beauty." (To be continued)!~!
