:. Li You was also helpless because of Lin's consort's harassment. He felt that he and Lin's consort were completely at odds with each other. He almost said angrily, "Young Master, I'm just here to help Princess Qiantose come to rob your property. So what?"
how was it.
This person has no political acumen, no sense of responsibility, and is sometimes so childish that he can hardly communicate. In this short period of time, Li You helped him think of three worries, which are the basic skills for getting along in the temple of the capital. However, he
An ignorant person is fearless, and he is indeed a rich and idle man who doesn't care.
First, does Prince Consort Lin know the possible consequences of taking the lead in hoarding coal? Second, is he sure he can afford these consequences? Third, as the Prince Consort of Guide, he knows that if he cannot bear the consequences, he will be implicated.
Will Princess Gui De bear the responsibility on your behalf?
The third point is what Li You is secretly worried about the most. Not to mention anything else, Lin Consort's shop took the lead in colluding with the Secretary of Xixin to hoard the goods. If word spread, others would probably think that it was Princess Guide who instigated it.
A year or two ago, if Her Majesty Chitose was still the one who only made money simply and crudely by enclosing people's fields and buying salt to lure her indiscriminately, this time Li You would have suspected that she was doing evil things again because of her greed for money.
However, after his subtle transformation over the past two years, the current eldest princess's horizons have gradually broadened, and she probably has no interest in engaging in such an ugly and scolded business anymore. He has this confidence.
But facing the prince-in-law, Mr. Li still had a headache. He couldn't beat or scold him, or take it lightly or seriously. If someone else had stopped him here, he would have just ignored it, arrested the coal shop owner, and left.
, how can you care about the other person's psychology?
What's more, there was a fly-like eunuch beside him who was stirring up trouble and stirring up Lin's consort's mood, leaving Mr. Li with no good solution for the moment.
It should be noted that eunuchs are eunuchs and civil servants are civil servants, but at the same time, eunuchs are the eunuchs of the emperor, and ministers are ministers of the emperor. When ministers manage eunuchs, they must obtain the consent of the emperor, and when eunuchs repair ministers, they must also display the banner of the emperor. This is the rule.
Most of the eunuchs who were able to hang out outside the palace had a certain status. For example, the Eunuch Huang in front of me was the deputy director of one of the twenty-four yamen. Generally, young eunuchs had no chance to leave the palace except for special tasks.
Although in theory, "Yousi" has jurisdiction over eunuchs who leave the palace, just like ordinary people, in fact this is not the case. Even if the power of eunuchs is unprecedentedly declining, it is difficult for civil servants to arrest eunuchs without authorization. Because
This can easily touch the red line of monarchy. And it is a very sensitive red line.
If Mr. Li relies on his law enforcement power to take down Eunuch Huang for revenge, he will violate the unspoken rules of official circles and make others feel strange.
The four key words "emperor's slaves" are no joke. If they reach the emperor's ears, they will definitely create a bad impression. Imagine if all the domestic slaves around you could be captured and disposed of by civil servants. How can the emperor feel safe in that day?
Word?
Mr. Li has calculated in his mind that apart from his annoying mouth, there is nothing too bad about Eunuch Huang. It would be uneconomical to use his power to retaliate against Eunuch Huang on the spot and arouse the emperor's suspicion, so he has always been indifferent to Eunuch Huang.
, just turn a deaf ear.
But just when Li You was planning his idea, an unexpected turn of events occurred. His unintentional words were like a bolt from the blue in the ears of Consort Lin.
Li You said that it's good for you to know, but the subtext is that it's good for you to know that I was sent by the eldest princess? Thinking about this, Prince Consort Lin was stunned for a moment. He asked in a trembling voice: "Are you really under the orders of a thousand years old?"
Master Li was speechless again. This question was very interesting, and Consort Lin's gaffe was even more interesting. One moment he was scolding himself sternly, and the next moment he became lost.
While watching with cold eyes, Li You suddenly grasped Lin's consort's mentality keenly. It turned out that the consort Lin was also fierce and shy, bullying the weak and afraid of the strong. I was almost frightened!
Could it be that I had been too amiable, too friendly and harmonious just now, so that I gave Prince Consort Lin the courage to kick his nose into his face? Did he just shrink back if he was slightly frightened?
Thinking of this, Mr. Li pretended to be mysterious and said: "The situation is just like this, and the matter is just like this. I don't want to say more. You are a smart person, Prince Consort, and you understand. It is easy to arrest the shopkeeper. What else does the Prince Consort have?
You can ask your questions to His Highness Chitose yourself."
After saying that, he raised his head and shouted to his subordinates: "Take them away!"
Are you really right? Lin's consort is in a state of confusion. The shadow left by his wife's ten years of iron-fisted discipline cannot be eliminated in just one or two years.
You know, this Taisheng Coal Shop sells up to 5 million jins of Xishan coal every year, and the profit is generally around 10,000 taels, but he just points to this small treasury to live and drink.
If we lose our coal shop, where can we find the money to replace it? If we want to resist, where is the courage?
The shopkeeper of Taisheng Coal Shop was tied up by the sergeant and pushed out. He staggered, but his eyes never left his owner. However, Prince Consort Lin fell into a sad mood and could not extricate himself. He remained motionless and showed no expression.
The shopkeeper was just about to be pushed out of the door, and he was also anxious. Having lived for more than forty years, he certainly understood that how could the yamen be easily caught?
He didn't panic when he faced Mr. Li just now, because he knew that he had the support of his consort. But now it was a critical moment, but the consort inexplicably acted as a coward.
The shopkeeper of the coal shop looked around for life-saving straws, but he found Huang Yong, deputy director of the Xixin Department, who had been hiding behind people for some time. He shouted in desperation: "Eunuch Huang! This is different from what was said in advance!"
Li You had already stepped out of the threshold with one foot. When he heard the shopkeeper's cry from behind, he circled and turned back. His sense of smell was very keen, and he immediately sensed that there must be some opportunity.
Mr. Li looked at Eunuch Huang and gradually revealed his eagerness. This is a huge humanoid reputation rich mine. Don't forget that there are so many people outside who can't buy coal wandering around in the market.
What a pity, what a pity, this person turned out to be a eunuch! I can scold him, I can humiliate him, but I just can't touch him! How can I increase my reputation if I can't do anything?
Eunuch Huang felt uncomfortable when Master Li looked at him, and couldn't help but shrink back. To the eunuchs, Li You was not necessarily scary, but Princess Guide was at the level of a great devil.
Li You was so shrewd that he realized that Eunuch Huang's behavior was very abnormal. He deliberately took a few steps closer to Eunuch Huang, and Eunuch Huang subconsciously took two steps back.
Li You was slightly confused. This cowering look was very strange. What could make Eunuch Huang so afraid? He was not a young man who had just fledged. He could still weigh the importance of the situation, and he would not really kill him on the spot.
Just a quarter of an hour ago, Eunuch Huang was quarreling with him, showing no signs of fear. Why did he seem to be a different person at this moment?
There must have been something in him that frightened him during this period of time, but there was no change in him. He just followed Lin's consort's words, and in order to untie the knot, he falsely claimed that he was under the orders of Gui De Qiantai.
Ah! Li You, who has a clear mind and a clear mind, suddenly has an enlightenment. He has some understanding and his realm reaches a new level.
Eunuch Huang kept praying to the Jade Emperor and the Tathagata Buddha, Mr. Li must not think of that, but unfortunately it backfired. Mr. Li, who was framed by Lin's Prince Consort as working for the eldest princess, just remembered that.
Li You couldn't help but feel as happy as if he had won a big prize, and ordered his surroundings: "Keep this Eunuch Huang under your care for the time being!"
Huang Yong could no longer care about his gentle image and almost jumped up. He roared sharply: "Li You! How dare you arrest the middle official without permission! Our family is going to file a lawsuit with you!"
Hou Xian said it well, intimidation and insults are definitely not fighting. Seeing that Eunuch Huang lost his composure, Li You became more confident. It seemed that the one he guessed was indeed holding his life. He ordered Jiang to command: "Go!
Everyone is responsible for everything!"
Commander Jiang secretly smacked his tongue, admiring him greatly. Li Jianxian held an important position at a young age, and he really had the courage to stand out from others.
Although the right deputy of the Xixin Division is not a top eunuch, he is famous and powerful. If he wants to deal with it, he must get the emperor’s nod. Master Li actually dares to arrest him first and report later. Is it possible that Master Li’s kindness in front of the emperor is
Favored, much more than an ordinary eunuch?
The thing that Eunuch Huang has been worried about, which is what Mr. Li has just realized, can indeed change the situation in an instant. It sounds miraculous. It is not surprising if you explain it clearly. It is nothing more than Princess Guide having a card of the First Emperor in her hand.
The imperial edict ordered her to look after the emperor, supervise the internal prison, and take care of palace affairs.
It was with the help of this edict that the eldest princess Guide was in charge of Ouchi for ten years, and it was not until the emperor took charge that she completely retreated to the tenth prince's palace. Although Guide Chitose took the initiative to downplay her influence in the palace, this edict from the late emperor did not
It was not returned and was still held in her hand. In theory, it still had legal effect.
If it is an unspoken rule that civil servants are not allowed to arrest eunuchs without permission, then it has been an explicit rule for the past ten years that the eldest princess can discipline eunuchs, and it is a rule with a higher priority.
If Li You was ordered by the eldest princess to come to Taisheng Coal Shop to investigate the situation as the special envoy of His Royal Highness Chitose, and discovered that Eunuch Huang was suspected on the spot, then from a power perspective, he could naturally use part of the eldest princess's power to decisively deal with it.
Just like those imperial envoys who patrol the sky for hunting. Because he has been authorized and acts on behalf of the eldest princess.
The eldest princess has the power to kill the eunuch with the stick of the late emperor's edict. As her special envoy, killing the eunuch would definitely be considered as exceeding her authority, but it is always possible to arrest her and question her.
Eunuch Huang, who had witnessed and felt the power of the eldest princess in the palace, was naturally the first to realize this. Li You probably had never had such an experience, and he had not fully assumed the fake role of the eldest princess's special envoy, so his reaction was slow.
.
Fortunately, Eunuch Huang's abnormal look and behavior aroused the suspicion of Mr. Li, who was always suspicious. After careful consideration, he finally realized it. This can be said to be exposing one's own shortcomings and digging one's own grave. Otherwise, Li You would never have thought of this and would have detained the shopkeeper long ago.
Back to the Yamen.
Li You felt dumbfounded and sighed to the dejected Eunuch Huang: "I actually didn't do anything. You and the Prince Consort are just messing around."
However, Mr. Li was not sent by Princess Guide. He came out with random shouts, and everyone took him seriously.
No one could imagine that someone would dare to "correct the imperial edict". Don't use bean buns as dry food. The eldest princess's "edict" cannot be easily "corrected", but Li You is the one who is qualified to "arbitrarily".
Even a son has been born, so it doesn't matter if he temporarily borrows his mother's name. If he goes back and explains a few words, it will be false and it will become true. After all, it is for her own good.
