Five hundred and ninety-eight chapters ten thousand miles of troubled prime minister talent
Seeing that her lover was about to leave, Princess Guide hurriedly stopped her and said: "There is nothing you can do about your current situation. The effects of being sent to prison and Qingtian Coal will be different if it is done to others than if it is done to you.
of.
If it were applied to others, it would become famous all over the world overnight, with praises and praises pouring in; but if it were applied to you, who is already famous, it would be too much and too little. How to deal with it will make it difficult for the court. You can't promote someone in your early twenties.
Waiter? As the saying goes, there is no reward for high merit, no reward, no placement, only idleness, not to mention that people are unpredictable, so I don’t need to say more."
Li You said helplessly: "These are not my purpose, they are just what I got by the way when I was doing something a while ago. If not, the only way is to ask for an imperial edict to forcibly kill Duan Zhien. It is easy to kill someone but difficult to end it. It is more gain than loss to let His Majesty bear a grudge. The two sides
It’s better to make a decision this way, just leave it idle, that’s not bad!”
Chitose-sama would not be surprised if her lover, who has never been peaceful, could not bear the loneliness, but she was surprised to hear her lover actually say "Idle time is not bad" in a meaningful way.
Li You sighed: "We are extremely lucky to be born in this world, because there are countless experiences in the history books to draw lessons from. Among the powerful officials in the early years of the Young Lord's rule, how many ended up well? How many were able to preserve their reputation and die well?
After all, Duke Zhou, Kong Ming is a minority among the minority. So it is good to be idle at this time."
Having said that, the eldest princess could intuitively guess that these were helpless self-deprecating words from her lover. He is a man who can't be idle. He also advised: "You are so good at making a name for yourself. You should do more practical things with peace of mind in the future."
, it is better to be down-to-earth, and living up to the name is the fundamental."
Li You was very angry when he heard this. He rolled his sleeves and said displeasedly: "It's just a woman and a child, so you actually said that. Farewell!"
"Stop!" His Royal Highness Chitose became angry after being scolded by Li You out of thin air. You know, even the emperor did not dare to talk about her views on women and children! She immediately slapped the case and scolded: "Is it a woman's view to advise you to be pragmatic? You put it
Speak clearly before leaving!"
Li You turned around and sneered: "Didn't I do something practical? What I did was worthy of your Zhu family's salary, even if I was not fined! When I was in Xujiang County, I successfully prayed for rain and helped the county to build a twenty-mile stone building.
The ponds were flooded, and the silk market was controlled during the silk shortage years to maintain the survival of small weavers. In addition, market villains were punished! Isn't this true?
When I arrived in Suzhou Prefecture, I reported a major case of embezzlement of grain depots, tried to keep the city in chaos during a grain shortage, settled disputes between proprietors and servants in 19 industries, cleared up accumulated prison cases, rectified government offices, and built buildings to facilitate people's access.
’s new city gate! Are these not facts?
When I was appointed Zhongshu of the Capital, I was responsible for dividing the votes conscientiously, solving the problem of the northern salt merchants calling for a break caused by your dignitaries' indiscriminate request for salt, and asking the emperor to take charge! Isn't this a real thing?
When I took office in Jiangbei, I personally went to dangerous situations to protect the imperial mausoleum, solved the major salt smuggling case and saved hundreds of millions of kilograms of losses for the country every year. The rest was to organize the salt industry, appease the people, build bridges and pave roads, and provide relief and good governance. Needless to say, Emperor Nan
I saw it with my own eyes and praised it during my tour! Are these not facts?
Although his time as admiral in the five cities was short, he also dealt with the silverfish in Nancheng and cleared up the capital prison case in time! As for calming down the coal market, let’s not mention it. These are not real things?
Then I have to ask you. If the above are not real facts, what can be called real things? If these are not real facts, how many officials in the world dare to say that they are doing real things? What are the real things you are talking about?
Therefore, I have had a clear conscience since I took office! If even an official like me who works hard will end up idle, then the country will be ruined and it will be just around the corner!"
Princess Guide was speechless after being refuted by Li You. She sat there dumbfounded. She just said it casually and it was purely household talk. Why did her lover react so violently, like a cat whose tail was stepped on?
Even the country's generals and countries were told.
Can't two people talk to each other well? If they are so sensitive and fragile, and easily get angry when things go wrong, is this the way for a "husband and wife" to get along?
When she came to her senses, Li You's figure had almost disappeared from the moon gate of the garden. He suddenly turned around and blinked at her in a very unreasonable manner. His Highness Chitose was inexplicably dazed for a while, and then suddenly understood. What his lover said,
I didn’t say it to her, I wanted to say it to the emperor through her mouth...
Since the pursuit of fame has gone too far, it is inevitable that someone will take the opportunity to slander the emperor, saying that Li You's boasts are in name only. And what he said just now is to prevent such slanders and nip them in the bud. With real facts as a basis,
Fame cannot be said to be empty fame.
It was noon when Li You came out of the residence of Princess Gui De of the Tenth Prince's Mansion. He passed by the south of the imperial city, where there were many shops and shops. Li You looked around to find a place to eat, and saw a newly opened restaurant with a bright sign on the sign.
It says "Dongting Tower".
I remembered that there is also a Dongting Restaurant in Suzhou Prefecture. It was opened by the Song family, a wealthy businessman from Dongting Mountain in Taihu Lake, and was hosted by his friend Song Wengu. Li You often went there to have a meal when he was in Suzhou Prefecture.
Thinking of this, he ordered the sedan bearer to go over and got off the sedan in front of the door. As soon as he entered the door, before Li You could speak to the waiter in the shop, he saw a middle-aged man in silk and satin robes hurriedly came forward to greet him, bowed and said: "Yu Xi"
Song Wenzhi of Dongting Mountain, if you are not Mr. Li Tanhua, a fellow countryman, why are you like this?"
Hearing the words "West Dongting Mountain", Li You guessed that the Dongting Tower must be a newly opened property of the Song family in the capital, and he could tell from the name alone that Song Wenzhi and his friend Song Wengu must be brothers of the same clan.
As expected, the Song family was half Confucian and half businessman. Song Wengu spent all day hanging out with literati in Suzhou. The Song Wenzhi in front of him also spoke in a literate manner, which made Li You feel amused for no reason, and he responded jokingly with emotion.
Said: "The whole world is turbid and I alone am pure. Everyone is drunk and I alone am awake. This is how I see it."
Song Wenzhi immediately got stuck and was speechless. He lowered his head and thought hard about how to answer without losing his price.
He has also read books, and he heard that Li Tanhua was an allusion to the question and answer between Dr. Qu Yuan and the fisherman during the Warring States Period. If he pursued elegance, he should follow the script and use the fisherman's original words to respond.
But the problem is that a famous person like Li Tanhua has the capital to criticize others cynically, but he, a businessman, does not have the courage to say "Everyone is dirty and everyone is drunk". Especially in the capital, saying this is tantamount to
Are you calling the imperial court as black as crows in the world?
Seeing that the other party was speechless, Li You couldn't help laughing "haha", patting Song Wenzhi on the shoulder who was still struggling, and jokingly said: "Why do you think deeply and exalt yourself, and let yourself go? You don't even have to drink!"
Song Wenzhi smiled awkwardly and invited Li You to the window on the second floor. He also moved a screen to separate it from other places, forming a small elegant pavilion.
Li You waved away the others. He didn't want anyone to wait on him. He drank and enjoyed himself. After a few glasses of wine, he looked out the window at the sky high and the clouds were clear. People were hurrying on the street. He felt that the past was thinking about the present, and he couldn't commit plagiarism.
After cleaning up, I couldn't help but touch the window and sing loudly:
"The fame of meritorious service is like a piece of grass, and the envy of buying a field is still lingering. The bones of immortals are broken in the spring, and the prime minister can't be talented in thousands of miles of leisure. Where is the bright moon and the empty river, Yan Yun and the Bohai Sea have not returned. The high-rise buildings have been drinking wine for thousands of years, and the big trees are full of calamities in the west wind.
Ash."
This is a Qilu song that is very suitable for the mood of the current frustrated and idle people. Others are really frustrated when they are frustrated. Mr. Li’s lament about being frustrated this time is really hypocritical.
But Mr. Li has had very rare times when he has failed to achieve his goals over the years. It is very rare, so it is understandable to seize the opportunity and be pretentious. After all, all the foundations are still there. Maybe tomorrow he will be prosperous again.
Behind the screen, Song Wenzhi whispered to the accountant who was good at writing: "Quickly write it down and find a famous artist to write and mount it tomorrow. Hang it up in the shop. We Suzhou people all know that Li Tanhua has never been fond of splashing ink. It's a pity that
pity."
The accounting clerk, who was born as a down-and-out scholar, shook his head with sadness and said: "Master Li has always used hairpins to support prostitutes and immortal bones, and drank and sang wildly to compare himself to prime ministers. Today, he said that the immortal bones of three springs have broken dreams, and it is difficult for prime ministers to have thousands of miles of leisure. Look,
My mood has changed since I came here. I feel like I am returning to my hometown after being idle, and I feel sad when I hear this."
Mr. Li "composed" a poem. He felt good about himself and it fit the mood of the current situation. After drinking a few more drinks, he suddenly heard noisy sounds outside the window.
Hundreds of people came to the street corner in the distance, heading towards the Daming Gate.
Yo? Look at the formation, a mass rape incident has occurred! If Mr. Li was still serving as the admiral and censor of the five cities, it would be urgent to lead the officers and soldiers to put out the fire at this moment, but now he is not in his position and is not pursuing his duties.
I was happy to watch the excitement. I didn’t know what was going on.
The crowd passed by the gate of Dongting Tower. Even with drunken eyes, Li You could see clearly upstairs. These people were dressed in turbans and plain scarves. They were clearly the uniforms of the Imperial College students!
Yo? The eunuch student group rape incident? This matter is bigger! Mr. Li quickly ordered Han Zong: "Go and find out what's going on!"
A quarter of an hour later, Han Zong walked up the stairs three steps at a time and reported to the owner: "I went to the street merchants to inquire, and there are quite a few things I know. It is said that a powerful man was beaten to death the day before yesterday.
The unfair treatment by the government aroused the anger of the people in the Imperial College, so they gathered a crowd to petition the Ministry of Rites."
In this case, it's Zhu Bulang's turn to have a headache, Li You thought to himself. School affairs are under the control of the Ceremony Department of the Ministry of Etiquette, and the Ceremony Department is in charge of Mr. Zhu Fanghe, a foreign minister, so if the imperial students cause trouble, Zhu will be in trouble.
Release the crane.
It seems that Mr. Zhu is not in the mood to drink with him these days. Mr. Li thought again. He wanted to find a way through Zhu Fanghe to see if he could find a good official position.
Unfortunately, Li You guessed wrong. The next day, Li You slept until midnight and was sitting lazily in the study when Zhu Fanghe came to see him.
When the two met, Zhu Bulang couldn't help but pull Li You and said: "Let's go! Let's have a few drinks!"
Li You couldn't help but wonder: "A supervisor in the Imperial College was beaten to death. There was a big mess yesterday. Are you still in the mood to have a drink with me?"
"You also know? There is indeed a lot of commotion this time." Zhu Fanghe sighed: "It's not just one thing. On New Year's Eve, a supervisor committed suicide by hanging himself because he was about to graduate but could not be elected.
This incident made the Imperial College very sad and angry, and as a result, another prison student was beaten to death, which made the matter even more uproar."
And the incident of a prison student committing suicide by hanging from a beam? Li You said bluntly: "I have been to the Imperial College several times, not just recently, but people have always been very restless! I am very puzzled that the imperial court cannot give a good future, and thousands of people have gathered there. What are you doing in the capital? Are you asking for trouble?"
Excluding people like Li You, there are three main backgrounds in the officialdom, Jinshi and Jiansheng. Jinshi is of course the clear stream, followed by Jiansheng, and Jiansheng is the lowest turbid stream.
In the early years of the dynasty, talents were scarce and scientific examinations had not yet been perfected. The political treatment for supervisory students was similar to that of Jinshi. Later, when the imperial examination became more prosperous, Jinshi candidates who had obtained scientific examinations gradually occupied the upper class, and the opportunities for supervisory students became narrower and narrower, and their status also became higher and higher. Coming lower and lower.
The status of Jinshi is too high to compare, but the promotion of people to become officials directly squeezes the space for supervisors. The number of official positions is generally fixed, and the number of good officials and beautiful positions is even more scarce. However, a large number of supervisors drop out every year. More than a thousand candidates have been added in three years. After so many years of backlog, it is becoming more and more difficult for supervisors to select officials, and of course the resentment is also growing. Once an opportunity is encountered, it is like dry wood meeting sparks, and it is normal to cause some trouble.
That's why Li Youcai said that the people of the Imperial College have always been restless. But under the current system where the imperial examination is respected, this is a problem that cannot be solved at all, even if the gods come, there will be no solution.
Can the imperial court controlled by Jinshi, especially high-profile Jinshi, be expected to open its doors and allow the Jiansheng group to gain access to the promotion path? It is still possible for a single person if the opportunity is good. Li You, who does not even have any fame, is still sitting in his current position. But As a large group of students, it is impossible to relax restrictions.
For Zhu Bulang, who was involved in the Imperial College chaos, he could only sympathize with him and said with relief: "No one can do anything about it. In my opinion, school affairs are the most thankless in the world's government affairs, especially the Imperial College. You Just put it off for a day and then you'll be fine. Let's go! I'll treat you to a drink to drown your sorrows."
Zhu Bulang was stunned, "You think I need to drink to drown my sorrows? I'm here to treat you to a drink this time!"
Li You didn't understand what he meant and asked, "What do you mean?"
Zhu Bulang said passionately: "Master Jiu Shi of the Imperial College is here to speak. The academic style of Taixue has been extremely poor in recent years, and chaos has occurred frequently. It is necessary to use heavy codes. Therefore, I ask you to supervise the academic affairs of the Imperial College as a foreign missionary."
Shi Jijiu, a famous official in the country, the former No. 1 magistrate in the world, and the former Su Songdao participated in politics, they are old acquaintances... Li You was shocked, Shi Lun, an old man who never died and became a thief, couldn't you see that he was very leisurely? He quickly declined and said: "This It’s impossible, I don’t even have any honors, how can I manage school affairs?”
Zhu Bulang nodded and said: "I thought so too, but the cabinet was the quickest to get it right. It's amazing. That's why I asked you, my brother, to have a drink. From now on, you and I will be colleagues fighting together, let's work hard together!"
Li You was stunned. He never dreamed that this matter would actually fall on him. The cabinet ministers were dragging their feet on other matters, but this matter was done neatly! From yesterday to now, he has always sympathized with Zhu Bulang. It turns out that The one who really needs sympathy is yourself!
"I'm just a white person! I'm a white person! How can I be qualified to handle noble school affairs!" Li You couldn't help shouting.
Zhu Bulang laughed and said: "You are the prime minister who has no time to spare. The court trusts you. This is not a bad thing."
