Chapter Five Hundred and Twenty Ambassador Lu Enters the Ministry of Officials
As soon as he heard what the other party said, Li You suddenly realized that he was asking for help.
As for her claiming to be from the same hometown, Li You is not surprised, because the female officials in the imperial court are usually selected from Su and Hangzhou, where there are more women who can read and write. In other words, at least half of the female officials are from Suzhou and Hangzhou.
It is really not surprising that someone from Suzhou is originally from Xujiang County.
Li You looked sideways, only to find that Ambassador Lu had already taken the initiative to walk to the stall on the opposite side of the road to look through the goods, which made Li You even more satisfied with him.
Mr. Li was neither enthusiastic nor cold, and asked in a normal tone: "It's okay, why did you call me here?"
The female official spoke calmly and gracefully, "I was a widow at home when I was twenty years old. At that time, the Imperial Household selected female officials among the people, and it has been more than ten years since I was selected. Now I have been living in the palace for a long time.
There is no communication with the outside world, and there is no way to pass it on. I don’t know anything about the current situation of my relatives in my hometown. I am lucky enough to meet Master Li in the inner city today. I hope that Master Li will remember this hometown sentiment and inquire about old news on my behalf. I am very grateful."
Li You thought for a while, and if he could do it without offending her, he said: "It's two or three thousand miles from Xujiang to the capital, and it's very inconvenient to transmit information. If I meet someone going south, I can naturally entrust him to help you find out. But I
Officials have something to say first, and it is okay to deliver verbal messages, but not letters, to avoid being impeached and sent to the inner palace."
The female officer bent her knees slightly and said, "Thank you, Mr. Li, for your kindness and kindness. I feel deeply grateful to you."
After Li You wrote down the name clues, he and Lu Yuanguang left Dong'an Gate, greeted the sedan and chariot attendants, and headed towards the Ministry of Officials. The journey was not long, and they arrived not long after.
There was a crowd of people outside the Ministry of Personnel. The general election had just ended in the past few days, and the list of officials was being announced. Otherwise, Li You couldn't find anyone if he wanted to find someone. Because during the election, the Ministry of Personnel, from Tianguan to the Wenxuan Department, was closed.
The portal, absolutely no visitors (in fact, the word "absolutely" is quite debatable).
Li You walked through the crowd with his head held high and entered the lobby of the front yard of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. He looked around the hall and found that all the officials working in the lobby knew each other, so he raised his hands and fisted in a circle and saluted. Then he walked through the hall,
Keep going inside.
Mr. Li is an old face, acquaintance and regular customer in the Ministry of Personnel. Everyone knows that he has a deep connection with the Ministry, so no one cares about him wherever he goes.
But Mr. Li was followed by Lu Yuanguang. When Ambassador Lu was selecting officials, he went to the front hall of the Ministry of Civil Affairs to complete the formalities, but he only went to the front hall.
The Inner Court of the Ministry of Personnel, which controls the fate of most officials in the world, is extremely mysterious and unattainable to him, a ninth-grade sesame official with a civil servant background. An inexplicable sense of humiliation keeps rolling in his heart.
Li You swaggered and stepped inside, but Ambassador Lu, who had been following him, stood still. His legs seemed to be filled with lead and he couldn't step out.
Mr. Li didn't explain anything clearly to him, and he just followed him here in confusion. He didn't know what was going on. He didn't know why Li Qianxian dared to barge in. He didn't even know if Li Qianxian wanted him.
Go in together.
That place was not a vegetable market, but the inner courtyard of the Ministry of Personnel, the head of the six departments. It was not a place that someone like him should be able to enter.
Li You had already reached the threshold when he suddenly thought of something. He looked back at Ambassador Lu and shouted loudly: "Why are you standing still? Do you still want me to support you?"
He then sighed to the old official next to him: "This is Ambassador Lu from the Chongwen Sect. I brought him to see the world, but it was really useless and made you laugh."
The old officials in the lobby laughed a few times at the scene. Judging by their tone, Ambassador Lu had probably defected to Li You. He was just here to clear the air today.
After being scolded by Mr. Li, Lu Yuanguang sobered up a little. His waist no longer hurt, his back no longer ached, and his legs no longer cramped. He quickly followed and walked inside.
When they arrived at the inner courtyard, Ambassador Lu was too nervous to look around. He just lowered his head and followed Li You forward. After passing through several doors, when he looked up again, he was already standing in the corridor of a high hall.
Li You asked the guard guarding the door: "Is the boss here? I want to see you." Not long after, he and Lu Yuanguang were led in.
After entering the room, Ambassador Lu looked through the light from the window and saw behind the koan in front of the screen opposite. There was a dignified old man sitting upright. From the color of the breast patch on his chest, he looked at it.
Of course Lu Yuanguang knew that there was only one person of the second rank in the entire Ministry of Personnel. Is this the official of the Ministry of Personnel? The Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, who is the head of hundreds of officials in foreign dynasties?
Ambassador Lu was unprepared. He was suddenly faced with such a big shot who could easily decide his fate. He was stunned. His breathing stopped in an instant, and his knees subconsciously weakened. He was about to step forward to kowtow, but the leader Li
If the Lord doesn't kneel, he can't get in front of him, so he can only stand behind Lord Li.
"I haven't seen you for many days, sir, so I came to say hello today because I have nothing to do." Li You bowed his hands in greeting.
Zhao Tianguan lectured: "The security of the capital depends on you, how can you say that nothing will happen today? You are young and have important responsibilities, so you should not be idle and idle! Otherwise, you will be ashamed of the court, and if something happens, it will be too late to regret it!"
Li You responded with a few words of "Yes, yes", and then moved half of his body, revealing Lu Yuanguang behind him, and introduced: "This is Mr. Lu, the ambassador of the Chongwenmen Propaganda Department of the Capital. He is very talented..."
Ninth Grade...Zhao Tianguan's expression changed, he waved his hand and said: "If you have nothing to do, just step back! You don't have to follow the behavior of this village man, how can you behave like this!"
"Then I'll say goodbye." Li You didn't take it seriously and said goodbye in a carefree manner, dragging Lu Yuanguang, who was already stunned, out the door.
Mr. Li was scolded by the Minister of Civil Affairs, why didn't he care at all? Ambassador Lu walked around in front of Zhao Tianguan in confusion. When he returned to the courtyard, he was still confused and couldn't tell the difference between east, west and north.
When he regained consciousness, he found himself standing in a certain room. Li You was talking to a forty-year-old green-robed official.
When Lu Yuanguang was guessing in his mind who this person was, Li You suddenly turned around and introduced him: "This is Mr. Zhongzuo, the director of the literary selection department, why don't you come forward to see me!"
The top five rank in the world in the best division in the world! The big bosses are too lazy to worry about where the ninth rank will be moved to in the future, but the direct operator is Zuo Langzhong! Ambassador Lu was shocked again.
However, since I was frightened when I saw Tianguan just now, it was not so serious this time. I quickly stepped forward and bowed deeply.
"This is Mr. Lu, the Ambassador of the Chongwenmen Propaganda Branch of the Capital Normal University!" Li You introduced Ambassador Lu again.
Zuo Langzhong claims to have the resumes of at least three thousand officials in his mind, and has always been proud of it. Although Lu Yuanguang is only a ninth-grade miscellaneous official, the ambassador of the Chongwenmen Propaganda Branch is so special that he is lucky enough to be among Zuo Langzhong.
occupies a place in his mind.
After thinking about it for a moment, I remembered that Lu Yuanguang's heel was appointed by Eunuch Duan at the beginning of the year after he persuaded the emperor to send a message... Zuo Langzhong looked at him with interest, as if saying to himself: "Eunuch?"
As soon as these two words came out, Lu Yuanguang felt ashamed and wanted to find a gap to slip in! In front of these Qingliu Huaxuan, his background was nothing more. After all, they were all scholars, and they could hold up the public by raising people, but it was impossible to get an official position by relying on eunuchs.
Fa raised his head.
This is not something that Lu Yuanguang can be proud of just because he wants to be proud. The entire officialdom has such an atmosphere and such a trend, and this kind of contempt is openly encouraged.
Li You looked on with cold eyes and nodded secretly, feeling that this person named Lu could be fought for. He was worthy of being a man who had studied and won the exam, and he still knew how to feel ashamed even if he was despised.
Then he said: "Brother Zuo, don't be too mean. Mr. Lu is just unlucky. He failed twice in the spring, so he had no choice but to succumb. In fact, he is quite talented. His political achievements in Chongwenmen this year are outstanding, far surpassing those of his predecessors. No matter how heroic he is,
Where it comes from."
Zuo Langzhong was able to sit firmly in the position of selecting officials, and his thoughts were so clear. In just a few words, he could tell that Li You was hanging around in the capital, and he had no one available, so he wanted to recruit a younger brother.
He raised his head and laughed, "I understand, I was joking about you earlier!"
Later, Li You also led Lu Yuanguang to visit Dr. Pan, the examination department, and also boasted to Mr. Lu.
Ambassador Lu could only be speechless at this. This official department looked like the backyard of Li You's family. The three most powerful people in the department were all familiar with each other and were as uninhibited as the family members.
It’s no wonder that when I first entered the staff department, the scornful junior staff in the lobby didn’t stop me and even had to apologize. I had stage fright and couldn’t move, which was really embarrassing for Li Qianxian, and it was not unjust to be scolded.
After leaving the gate of the Ministry of Personnel and standing in the noon sun, Ambassador Lu suddenly felt an unreal sleepwalking feeling. He had really walked around the rooms of Tianguan, Wenxuanlang and Kaogonglang in the inner courtyard of the Ministry of Personnel?
The figure of Mr. Li in front of him grew taller and taller. Lu Yuanguang sighed and said with envy in his heart, this is called an official, this is called officialdom, so free and unrestrained! Apart from being able to make money, he is not the same as those who are pursuing profit, such as subordinates and officials.
What's the difference?
Ambassador Lu was originally a smart and decisive person, but what he encountered today was too bizarre, and he was led by the nose by Li You very familiarly. He was in the middle of the situation, as if he was in a fog. For a moment, he forgot, what if his actions today
When the news reached Duan Zhien's ears, what would Eunuch Duan think?
All he could think about in his heart was, how virtuous and capable he Lu Yuanguang is...
At this point, even a fool can see that Li You did this deliberately, as if to show his kindness.
But Lu Yuanguang didn't understand why Li Qianxian showed his favor to him. How could Lu Yuanguang be worthy of Li Qianxian's favor? He had some power to collect business taxes, but this power was ineffective against Li Qianxian.
While he was thinking about it, Ambassador Lu heard Li Qianxian say again: "It's noon. I'll invite you to a drink. I've sent my servants to set up the table. Ambassador Lu, don't refuse."
"Being respectful is worse than obeying orders." Lu Yuanguang responded. Anyway, it has reached this point. A dead pig is not afraid of being scalded by boiling water. You can do whatever you like. Then Li Qianxian has such big hands and eyes in the official department. Killing him is just a matter of words. There is no way. There is no need to go through all the trouble to harm him.
Li You looked at Ambassador Lu's resigned expression and smiled inwardly. Today is called a fox pretending to be a tiger's power. For these little bureaucrats, the power of the bureaucracy is extraordinary.
