Five hundred and thirtieth chapters are not used to being passive like this
Welcome everyone:. The time towards the end of the year is the most idle time for the imperial court. When you are bored, you have to do something. For example, after the Winter Solstice, the number of memorials to impeach Mr. Peng Ge suddenly increased. The specific charges were concentrated on two
, one is to instigate profiteers to frame the minister, referring to the Lu family's lawsuit against Li You, and the other is to cover up the Ministry of Household Affairs' negligence of duties, leading to the Lianghuai Salt Case.
It may not seem like a big deal, but in the court, a matter can always be big or small. If you go with the trend, you can turn a big thing into a small one. If you go against the trend, you can only turn a small matter into a big one.
There was a storm in all directions, and the emperor did not refute the memorial to impeach Mr. Peng Ge to calm down the trouble, nor did he refute it in order to maintain the dignity of the prime minister. Instead, he distributed the memorials to the cabinet one after another according to the normal procedures.
It's rather intriguing.
This attitude is tantamount to telling Mr. Peng Ge that you are no longer welcome. But Mr. Peng Ge has a good psychological quality and can still hold on.
Everyone in the imperial court began to speculate that the situation was over, that Peng Ge, who was surrounded by enemies on all sides, was unprecedentedly isolated, and was not favored by the emperor, was afraid that he would not be able to survive the winter. If he could be more dignified, he would retire from office.
Some people also joked that unless Mr. Peng Ge had magical powers like Li You, he could break out of the predicament with a strange and deviating attack. Unfortunately, even Li You is his mortal enemy, let alone Mr. Li can't even enter the court now.
, even if I feel itchy, I feel powerless.
The contrast between the heat and coolness of the world is sharp. Unlike Peng Gelao's cold state, Bai Shilang on the other side has become hot, as if his metabolism is imminent.
Everyone knows that Lord Bai is the person who will replace Peng Gelao in the cabinet. And the key is that this person is very trusted by the emperor. He is the first minister to be reused by the emperor after he takes office. It is estimated that becoming the chief minister in the future will not be a big problem.
This is the so-called minister of the dragon. It is also an unspoken rule in the court to be promoted from the minister of the dragon. Bai Shilang is the leader and representative of this group of ministers of the dragon. Mr. Li was expelled from the court.
It is the opposite example of "unlucky".
But it was said that on this day, Li You went to the Ministry of Civil Affairs to visit the Heavenly Official Zhao Liangren. It was about Lu Yuanguang taking over as the ambassador of the Chongwenmen Propaganda Branch. This matter is difficult. But you have to give it a try.
When he arrived at the backyard of the Ministry of Personnel, he was told that the Heavenly Official was seeing guests. Li You planned to go to other departments in the ministry first. However, he was told that the Heavenly Official also invited him in.
This makes Mr. Li wonder. Everyone who comes here to visit must have their own affairs, and most of them are inconvenient for a third person to be present. So they will meet separately in order. How can there be any reason to meet together?
Li You thought for a while, this should be Zhao Tianguan's expression of dissatisfaction with the guests who arrived first? Otherwise, why would he be allowed to come in and disturb him for no reason.
Entering the reception hall, Li You quickly glanced at the guest seats and couldn't help but sigh that they were really enemies of each other. The first guest to arrive turned out to be the recent celebrity Bai Shilang.
Mr. Li saluted Zhao Tianguan who was sitting on the main seat, then nodded to Mr. Bai to acknowledge that he had seen him before, and sat in the guest seat on the other side.
Most of the relationships between Mr. Li and the ministers around the emperor were not very good. From Yuan Gelao, a scholar of Wenhua Palace, to Li Denggao, editor of Hanlin Academy, including Bai Shilang. When the emperor visited Yangzhou in the south, he was also treated by a group of ministers.
Rejected.
Therefore, I suddenly met Bai Shilang this time. Mr. Li was too lazy to pay too much attention to etiquette. He just dealt with it casually. Besides, Bai Shilang, who disrupted the existing order, had been classified as an enemy by Li You, so there was no need to give him a good look in private.
Bai Shilang was secretly annoyed. Although the etiquette of officials in the capital was very casual, he had been very proud of himself recently, and everyone was very respectful when they saw him. In comparison, Li You was the only one in front of him who was disrespectful of etiquette and did not treat him at all.
Putting it in my eyes, I thought of Yu Linglong's grudge a while ago, and became even more annoyed.
Zhao Liangren asked Li You: "What are you doing here? Are you at Chongwen Gate?"
Mr. Li did not expect that Zhao Liangren would reveal it in front of outsiders. This kind of black box operation was not suitable to be discussed publicly. He immediately realized that this must have implications and replied: "Exactly, the current Ambassador Lu has outstanding achievements."
, should be re-elected to show the justice of the court!"
"What a coincidence, Mr. Bai also came here for this matter." Zhao Tianguan said with a smile.
Huh? Li You glanced at Mr. Bai. He also asked Zhao Tianguan for the position of ambassador of the Chongwenmen Propaganda Branch? But Mr. Li was keenly aware that Zhao Tianguan's tone and attitude were worth pondering.
The position of Tianguan in the Ministry of Civil Affairs holds great power of government, but good officials in the world always have more wolves and less meat, so the pressure brought by power is also great.
Anyone who dares to ask for important personnel in front of the official of the Ministry of Personnel must have great face. If he does not have enough face, then he can avoid talking about it. Not just a cat or a dog can go to the official of the Ministry of official affairs and point fingers.
There are two types of this great face. One is the face brought by the noble status, such as the princes and governors, who directly deliver words to the official minister; the second is the face brought by the extremely close relationship with the heavenly official, such as
It is also very casual to communicate with relatives and friends.
Li You belongs to the latter, so he can shamelessly go to the two heavenly officials to ask for favors. Of course, Li You also strives for success, and he is not someone who can't help him.
But the question now is, which category does Bai Shilang belong to? In terms of official position, he is only a third-grade minister, and has not yet joined the cabinet as a senior minister; in terms of friendship, he and Zhao Tianguan have never been the same person.
However, Mr. Bai came here to ask for a job. If it was an ordinary and inconspicuous official position, it was actually a highly-anticipated and lucrative position like the Chongwenmen Propaganda Branch...
Li You's evaluation of this was that Bai Shilang's mentality was so arrogant that he really regarded himself as a dishonor. He was not the prime minister now. Master Li guessed again, no wonder Zhao Tianguan called him in against common sense, probably Mr. Tianguan
He can't let go of his airs, so let him, Li You, come out as the villain and make a fool of himself.
After making up his mind, Li You said to Minister Bai: "When can the Ministry of Rites interfere with the Quan Cao privately?"
Bai Shilang said calmly: "Your Excellency, it seems that you are not from the official department."
Li You was about to continue to say something, but he saw Bai Shilang make a false move and stood up to leave without quarreling with him.
Mr. Bai is not a fool. In front of him, Zhao Tianguan is acting against his will, and Li You is acting strangely. Why are he still here? And quarreling with Li You, who is famous for his sharp tongue, is purely self-inflicted. During the southern tour at the beginning of the year, Hanlin Academy juniors
Li Denggao was sprayed by Li You until he dived in shame and anger. He still vividly remembers it.
He came here today because, firstly, someone promised him a huge sum of money to seek the position of Chongwen Gate Ambassador; secondly, he wanted to get close to Zhao Tianguan and see if he could use his rising momentum to defeat this person with nothing.
Winning key figures over. Since things are not harmonious, the best thing to do is to leave.
After sending away the uninvited guest, Zhao Liangren sighed to Li You: "People in the Imperial Academy are always arrogant and lack practicality."
It was only in front of his own people that Mr. Tianguan dared to reveal his true feelings like this. Li You was convinced that Zhao Tianguan was most likely unhappy with Bai Shilang taking a helicopter to join the cabinet. There is no need to elaborate on why he was unhappy. Anyone with a little emotional intelligence would understand, but This idea is also a quite representative idea.
Li You said along the way: "Looking at the past, this is the reason why the common people who left the Hanlin Academy after disbanding always achieved more than the old Hanlin people."
After sitting down again, Zhao Liangren said to Li You again: "The ambassadors of the Chongwenmen Propaganda Branch change every year. Who wouldn't want to get this kind of job that makes tens of thousands of dollars for nothing? Even I am worried, why are you coming in? This is not something you can withstand."
"Don't worry, sir. When others ask, they will only say that Lu Yuanguang's re-election was Guide Chitose's idea. If anyone is not convinced, let him go to the royal officials himself." Li You replied. He found out that the elder Princess Guide was older. The flag is sometimes very useful, so if you don't use it, it will be useless. In this case, just lift Chitose-dono out to block the gun!
Zhao Liangren asked curiously: "You really persuaded His Highness Qiantose? That's okay, and it will save me from having to worry about this this year."
After the matter was settled, I left the official department and returned to the Wucheng General Prosecutor's Office. However, several foreign chambers of commerce brought me plaques with gongs and drums, in order to thank Li Qianxian for cracking down on gangs and eradicating evil, and returning the borders of Nancheng to a clean place. Clear sky.
It is very common in local areas for people to send plaques, but the capital's yamen are not people-friendly officials, so it is rare.
For this kind of reputation, Mr. Li is happy to accept it, the more the better. As for violating taboos or something, there is no need to consider it. The Qingluo umbrella has already been opened, so receiving a few plaques is no big deal.
With a smile and an approachable face, Li You met with the stewards of the Chamber of Commerce and had a long discussion, saying that he would continue to enforce the law impartially and create a good atmosphere for everyone to do business.
After the crowd dispersed, one person secretly stayed behind and begged Li You: "Master Li, this is all right."
Li You replied: "It should be possible, but I have a new idea today, so I have to wait."
"Mr. Li, we merchants all know that credit comes first. It's not good to go back on your word..."
"Don't worry, if things get done this time, I will never break my promise!" Li You vowed.
The head of the Lu family sighed and left the Wucheng General Prosecutor's Office with three steps. His youngest son is still being held in the prison of the General Prosecutor's Office. With the princess coming forward, Mr. Li's attitude is quite good, but always After pushing and procrastinating, the eldest princess lost her temper even after being pushed several times.
Fortunately, I have visited him several times and I know that my son is in a separate cell in prison, with good food and good treatment. Apart from being bored, there is nothing serious. I just don’t understand why Mr. Li is locking up his son like this.
After finishing his business, Li You saw that dusk had arrived and Li You was about to leave the office to go home. When he went out, he bumped into an official from the General Affairs Department.
This person was a disciple of Mr. Xu Ge and Li You’s spy in the General Affairs Department. He shouted to Li You: “Just now, Bai Shilang of the Ministry of Rites submitted a memorial to impeach Ambassador Lu of the Chongwen Sect. I came here to inform Brother Li Xian!”
Li You was slightly startled. Before he could make a move, Bai Shilang made the move first. He liked to make perfect plans and use tricks to strike first. He was not used to being so passive. He just made a move, and his target was so biased. What exactly is this person thinking?
