Five hundred and thirty seventh chapter five reasons
Facing the doubtful and contemptuous eyes of the whole palace, Bai Shilang felt like he was struck by nine thunders. In a daze, he remembered a question he had discussed with his father when he was a child, which came first in the world, the chicken or the egg?
At present, it is the jealousy and the officialdom fight between Bai Shilang and Li Jianxian. Which one is the cause and which is the effect? Regarding the answer to this question, Mr. Bai and everyone else have completely opposite views. This is the saddest thing about him.
The place.
Bai Shilang thought that Li You did not abide by the rules and retaliated for officialdom fights on women; but others thought that Bai Shilang was a bad person because he openly used officialdom methods to retaliate against jealousy.
In fact, some dark things are just done, and it is understandable to keep a low profile. Everyone in the officialdom has times when they have no choice. But things that are shady cannot be seen in the light, and knowing shame does not mean being shameless.
But for someone like Shilang Bai, who does bad things and does it openly and shamelessly, it seems that the whole court should condone him, which makes everyone even more disgusted.
At least when you have reached the two top positions of Chief Assistant or Chief of Ceremonies and Eunuch, you have the qualifications to be openly shameless. Before you even join the cabinet, it has grown to this point. Do you really think that the imperial court already has a surname of Bai?
Perhaps some people in the palace were suspicious because of Li You's bad record, and they speculated that Bai Shilang might have fallen into Li You's trap. But facing the main trend, and having no evidence in their hands, they only expressed it after they had eaten their fill.
Distinctive viewpoints and unique personalities will never be the mainstream in Wenhua Palace.
But in the Wenhua Palace, Bai Shilang woke up from his trance, and immediately remembered a more terrible consequence, and his face suddenly turned pale.
Can a person who has been despised by the whole dynasty continue to rise to prominence? The answer is yes, but only if you have the support of the person on the throne behind you.
Shilang Bai doesn't have much real power for the time being, so why would others give him three points? The reason is also very simple. There is a person on the throne who reuses him and supports him.
Anyone who attacks Bai Shilang is violating that person's will and the consequences are unpredictable. If he loses this support, Bai Shilang will be just an ordinary third-grade official who is idle.
The young Emperor Jinghe may be weak, may not be confident, and may be dependent on others, but he is not stupid.
He also knew that making trouble in the court just for a trivial matter of jealousy, regardless of success or failure, right or wrong, this attitude is very important. This has nothing to do with morality, but is a manifestation of political character.
At this moment, Emperor Jinghe felt quite annoyed. Anyone else would be annoyed by this situation.
After building momentum and operation, everyone in the court knew that the emperor wanted to use his teacher Bai Shilang in special terms and promote Mr. Bai to work in Zhiwenyuan Pavilion. But at the critical moment, Bai Shilang made such a fool of himself in front of the ministers, how could he not make Jinghe emperor angry?
?
The first is that he is angry that Mr. Bai has lost his face; the second is that he is angry that his vision is too poor; the third is that he is angry that Mr. Bai is too unsatisfactory and has failed to live up to his expectations.
The emperor, who had a good opinion of Li You, thought about it carefully and felt that it was really unjustifiable to blame Li You for this matter. Li You himself only smashed, smashed and robbed in private, and had bad conduct, but he did not want to cause trouble in the court in public. It was okay.
The court's face was saved. It was Bai Shilang who failed to live up to his expectations and insisted on being recognized in the court. In the end, he shot himself in the foot.
All the ministers had to admit that in the current era of Bai Shilang's kindness and uprightness, the biggest difficulty in dealing with Bai Shilang is how to punish him while avoiding provoking the emperor. This is a difficult job and almost unsolvable
, but Mr. Li made it so wonderful that it can be sublimated into a unique and ingenious art.
Speaking of which, Li You's original intention was to use the devil's self-mutilation method to lower his quality through atrocities such as beating, smashing, and looting, and to attract strong public attention, in order to drag Bai Shilang to roll in the mud with him.
As long as there are unclear rumors about Li You and Yu Linglong, he can always find an opportunity to drag Bai Shilang into the mud to create the illusion of jealousy.
When both of them were ashamed, it didn't matter to him, Li You. Anyway, there was no promotion opportunity at the moment, so it didn't matter whether he had any problems. But Bai Shilang was different. He was at a critical period when he was preparing to join the cabinet, so being embarrassed would be extremely disadvantageous.
As the saying goes, those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes.
But what was very unexpected was that Mr. Li was over-interpreted by Yu Linglong and revised the script. But fortunately, it did not affect the final progress.
At present, Mr. Li has successfully plotted against Mr. Bai. The thing he is most worried about is losing the emperor's trust because of today's misunderstanding. He knows that this is all a misunderstanding, but he doesn't know how to explain it, and even if he does, no one believes him.
Just when Bai Shilang was thinking hard about how to restore his image in the emperor's heart, Dong Ruoshui, the censor of Jiangxi Province, stood up again and told the emperor: "I impeach the imperial envoy of Youjian School and Qiandu, and the admiral of the Five Cities Military and Horse Division Li
You acted shamelessly, used prostitutes to entertain himself, bullied the common people, damaged houses, and brought the imperial court into disrepute. I would like to ask Your Majesty to deal with it!"
Hearing this impeachment, everyone suddenly remembered that the news that Li You caused in Bensi Hutong was known throughout the court, but until Dong Yushi, no one impeached him... This is really strange and inexplicable.
, a group psychology that is worth studying.
Zhao Liangren, the Heavenly Official of the Ministry of Civil Affairs who was in charge of rewards and punishments, said: "You can be fined for one year."
Jinghe and the emperor agreed: "It's accurate!"
The ministers dispersed in twos and threes, whispering to each other: Except for Li You, everyone should pay attention to the disaster caused by beauty. On the surface, Mr. Li was fined today, but in fact, the real unlucky one was Shilang Bai. Although Mr. Li is not in the court,
But there seems to be his presence in the court...
That night Li You returned home and told his family about the fine.
Aunt Guan, who was in charge of the housework, said distressedly: "My husband has been fined a salary again! Now you have a first-class salary, which is worth a thousand stones a year. This is not a small amount. It is enough to subsidize the family, but you have thrown it into the water!"
"Anyway, I haven't received it or seen it before. It's just numbers on paper, so don't feel bad." Li You replied a little guilty.
Guan Xiuxiu said displeasedly: "Being an official for one year, you will be punished with several years of salary, three years and three years, when will it end? If you continue to be punished like this, you won't be able to finish it by the time you die."
Li You said calmly: "If you have as many lice as you need, you don't need to worry about your debts. Life is just a hundred years. If you can't finish the punishment, can you chase me to the underworld to punish me?"
Aunt Guan was very angry at her husband's irresponsible attitude, and her face turned red with anger, "If you can't pay the fine, you still have children and grandchildren! I don't want to think that in the future Erlang will attack Guanglu Sicheng and have to replace his father.
Make up for the fine!"
Jin Baoer advised: "Sister Xiu, don't be upset. With a few years of salary, the family will not be unable to survive."
At this time, a servant reported that Mr. Zhu Fanghe, a member of the Ministry of Rites, was visiting, so Li You took the opportunity to escape and meet the visitor.
A regular guest like Zhu Bulang was invited directly to the study. After tea, Li You asked: "Mr. Fanghe is here tonight. What do you want to say?"
Zhu Fanghe smiled bitterly, "What's going on with Brother Xian and Minister Bai?"
Li You asked with a hint of something in his words: "Are you asking yourself, or are you asking for someone else?"
"Asking for myself, I don't understand why the wise brother became an enemy of Bai Shilang. Others don't know the inside story, but I know that you had clearly given up on Yu Linglong that night, and there was no way you would compete with Bai Shilang for beauty. Later, they were all
It’s just a deliberate gesture.”
Li You pondered for a moment, Zhu Bulang was a straightforward and heroic man, and he also had a measured mouth. It would be unsightly if he noticed it while hiding it. Then he replied: "Since I'm sorry to ask you, I would like to express my sincere condolences, little brother."
This is my complaint. If I have offended you, I hope you will forgive me. I really don’t want to see Mr. Bai for five reasons."
Zhu Bulang was surprised and said: "There are so many? I would like to hear the details."
"First, Mr. Xu Ge is a wise man in the opposition. Waiting for Ding You to come back, he always reserves a position in the cabinet. Mr. Peng Ge is already old, and the personnel will be replaced in two or three years. What's more, Mr. Xu Ge has been so kind to me. I am always grateful.
Yu Xin, how can I just sit and watch Bai Shilang enter the pavilion? Where will I put Mr. Xu Ge?"
"I know this. With Mr. Xu Ge's kindness in promoting you, you should try your best to repay him." Zhu Bulang signaled.
"Secondly, it can be seen from what happened during the southern tour that those ministers who are close to the dragon have high eyes and are not very harmonious with me. Shilang Bai is the symbol of these ministers who are close to the dragon. Now there are Yuan and Jin in the cabinet.
"Second Pavilion Elder, if Bai Shilang joins the cabinet again, he will become the dominant faction. This may not be a good thing for the emperor, and it is not a good thing for me. So I don't want to see Bai Shilang enter the cabinet before I have enough power to protect myself."
Zhu Bulang nodded and said: "You... are too prepared for danger in times of peace. No matter who joins the cabinet, what can they do to you?"
"When dealing with people, you have to be prepared for danger in times of peace! Thirdly, the emperor should put stability first when he is in charge. I also like the current situation and don't want to see any big changes. So Bai Shilang, a lucky minister with no great achievements, destroyed the existing situation.
, which makes me very unhappy."
This is the natural resentment of those with vested interests towards latecomers... Zhu Bulang shook his head and said: "You are overthinking."
"Fourthly, after the emperor takes office, he does not practice pragmatism, but first becomes obsessed with the so-called personnel adjustment, first considers how to promote ministers from the dragon, and chills the hearts of the civil and military officials in the dynasty. Is this the right way? I will use this opportunity to warn the emperor!"
Zhu Bulang sighed: "It's reasonable, but your method is too extreme."
"Fifth. Bai Shilang wants to seek a position in the Propaganda Department and openly opposes me. I will never give it to him!"
It is difficult to refute this reason. The interests involved in the Propaganda Division are too great. In the end, Zhu Bulang said helplessly: "I didn't expect that you really have so many reasons. I wanted to make peace with them tonight, but now it seems that it is difficult."
That’s it!”
In order to ease the atmosphere, Li You joked: "At this time, you should not take it as a sign of timely rain. He who knows the current affairs is a good man."
Zhu Fanghe was a little frustrated, "To tell you the truth, brother, after hearing your thoughts, I suddenly realized that I am not suitable for wasting time in officialdom. It's ridiculous that I had ambitions to become a successful person, but I always worry about not being able to achieve my ambitions."
"Brother Zhu must not be so discouraged!" Li You exclaimed.
