Chapter 608 The water is very deep here (seeking the moon
After the father-in-law who was responsible for escorting the movable type revealed the background of the Da Neijing Factory, he stopped talking. That was enough.
In the imperial dynasty, when it comes to being the most powerful yamen in the imperial court, the Chief of Ceremonies is worthy of being selected. But in the beginning, when the Chief of Ceremonies had not yet become the internal minister, in theory, it was just an organization in charge of documents, books, and etiquette in the palace.
, there is a printing factory below that is responsible for printing books in Ouchi.
Therefore, this economics factory is equivalent to the royal printing factory, located in the northeast corner of the imperial city, but compared with its supervisor, the yamen, the ceremonial supervisor, it is very unknown, and compared with the other internal organization of the ceremonial supervisor, the clerk's room, it is even more heavenly.
underground.
Although the head of the Daxing County government office who stopped the convoy transporting movable type did not necessarily know what a factory was, he did understand three things.
First, the white-faced middle-aged man with no beard was talking about the "Da Nei" business factory, and with the word "Da Nei", he, a small yamen team leader, was not someone he could provoke; second, he was known as a certain factory in the capital.
The places usually belong to the palace, such as the East Factory and the West Factory, Wang Gong Factory and so on; thirdly, this middle-aged man has a white face and no beard, so he is obviously a father-in-law.
They actually blocked items from the palace? The team leader was immediately frightened and broke into a cold sweat. Some people said that movable type had been shipped here in the evening, so the magistrate sent himself to check the items. After checking, he did not expect that they were items from the palace. This is simply a premature death.
!
One side wants to transport movable type, while the other wants to ban movable type. This must be a legendary high-level struggle in the imperial court, and it also involves a palace where people's lives are as important as paper. I, a little fish and shrimp, am innocently and pitifully involved!
I'm afraid that even the eldest man in my county who hastily issued a ban will be a victim! The squad leader thought anxiously.
The water here is very deep! Faced with this critical moment, how should you make a choice? A certain team leader of the Daxing County government office fell into a deep and painful entanglement.
Should he resolutely enforce the law strictly, go all the way to the dark side, strive to be more dangerous and safer, and win the favor and rewards of his own bosses? Or should he take advantage of the situation in front of this cold-looking father-in-law and expose that his county magistrate has been tortured?
The fact that someone else ordered the issuance of the ban?
Both options may bring benefits, but they may also cost lives. It is really difficult to decide. The class leader could not help but frown and sigh. After only a long while, he still hesitated.
A young yamen servant next to him tugged on the sleeve of the monitor and called softly: "Uncle? Uncle?"
"What's it called? It's a very important matter. Didn't you see that I was deep in thought?" the class leader turned around and scolded.
The young yamen servant pointed to the distance and said, "But those carriages have already gone far. Uncle, why are you still in a daze?"
The class leader looked up and saw that the carriages had left the intersection and were dozens of feet away. He was completely ignored when he was thinking about important decisions! The father-in-law didn't have a role like him at all!
The squad leader felt humiliated, but also a little lucky. He repeatedly recited a few words in his heart: "It doesn't matter if Amitabha is ignored, my life is saved." After that, he ordered the fastest subordinate: "Go quickly.
Report to the Yamen!"
When the magistrate of Daxing County in the east city of the capital heard the news, he was furious and frightened. He was a disciple of Yuan Ge Lao. That's why he worked so hard and used himself as a gunman. Who would be in the capital where there are many powerful people.
As the magistrate of Jing County, he is the most seductive person. But he cannot be so deceitful as to actually instigate him to intercept the items in the palace for no reason!
But anger is anger, and reality is reality. Anger can reach the sky, but it will always fall back to the ground... The magistrate of Daxing still quickly conveyed the news to Mr. Yuan Ge to see how Mr. Ge would handle it.
When the news was sent to the Yuan Mansion, Mr. Yuan Ge was entrusted by someone to write a plaque with a splash of ink. When he heard the report, he was not only shocked but also shocked. In astonishment, he quietly dropped the pen in his hand without realizing it.
Perhaps other elders would not be so panicked when encountering a similar situation. It would only offend the palace a little. It would not shake the foundation of the Prime Minister.
But Mr. Yuan Ge was different. He did not rely on the popular recommendation, but was promoted by the emperor. He was the closest to the emperor among the academicians. He was recognized as a member of the emperor's party. He often secretly "flattered the emperor".
ridicule.
Therefore, the emperor's trust is the lifeline of Mr. Yuan Ge and the source of power in his hands. Anything that may cause him to fall out of favor is enough to frighten him. For example, this time he cast a large net that almost destroyed the items in the palace.
Stop it...
He finally remembered that Emperor Gaozong made 300,000 to 400,000 copper movable types decades ago, and some of them were given to the Imperial College, while some were kept in the Imperial College.
He was aware of this anecdote, but had never thought about it before. He only guessed that Li You might have purchased movable type in the market or smuggled movable type to the Imperial College. He never thought that the movable type used by Li You came from the palace.
It was shipped out! Even now that I know it, I still find it incredible.
So what if it’s incredible? This time Li You used the movable type stored in the palace! It seemed to reveal something...
Although the emperor did not openly issue an edict with great fanfare, saying that the surviving characters in the internal character library were given to Li You for use, it seemed that they were just shipped out in a low-key manner. If he hadn't sent someone to accidentally bump into it, he might have been kept in the dark.
But without the emperor’s personal consent, those father-in-laws would not have the guts to transport the movable type and give it to Li You for use? If the emperor had not personally agreed, then Li You would not dare to accept and use it knowing that it was for the palace?
Therefore, Mr. Yuan Ge came to the conclusion from various signs that Li You was running a private newspaper this time, and there must be royal instructions behind it, but he just did not say it publicly. This is Li You's greatest confidence!
From the above conclusion, Mr. Yuan Ge came to another inference. This time he had to endure it. If he can offend Li You, he cannot offend the emperor. The big bosses are fighting for the newspaper. It is hard to say that it will also attract the attention of the emperor. Maybe
Li You just blackmailed the emperor to order the princes. He stood up to resist, but he was the unlucky one.
What also made Mr. Yuan Ge slightly confused was that the emperor actually refused to tell him such a thing, preferring to trust Li You. He felt a faint sense of loss and sadness. Could it be that he was too old and yellow, and the emperor liked young people?
While Mr. Yuan Ge was sitting quietly in his study, pondering over the emperor's thoughts, a servant interrupted his meditation and reported: "Master You of Honglu Temple came to see you again, and he looked very anxious."
Old Yuan Ge wondered, what's wrong with him? Did he also know about Li You's use of the palace to keep words from other channels? If so, he should be anxious, after all, he personally exposed the report, which led to Daxing County sending police
When the officials went to intercept him and hold him accountable, he was the first to bear the brunt.
In order to appease people's hearts, Mr. Yuan Ge had no choice but to cheer up and invite You Shaoqing in. He also served tea. The more times like this, the more important it is to pay attention to etiquette. I am afraid that if you are not careful, you will be over-interpreted by the other party.
, causing countless random thoughts.
You Shaoqing was not in the mood to sip the tea, so he took a shallow sip, put down the tea cup, and said to Mr. Ge: "I have a colleague of the same age in the Ministry of Personnel, and I sent a message to him today. It is now Guilin, Guangxi.
When the prefectural governor Wu Sheng completed his term, he came to the capital to take part in the assessment. So there is a vacancy in Guilin Prefecture. And when the next election comes, when the Department of Civil Affairs and Literature and Selection draws up the list, the lower official will be promoted to the prefect of Guilin Prefecture."
The Shaoqing of Honglu Temple is the fifth rank, and the prefect of Guilin Prefecture is the fourth rank. The fifth rank becomes the fourth rank, which literally means "promotion". But when You Shaoqing talks about the word "promotion", his face is full of bitterness. There is no trace of it.
Joy.
Mr. Yuan Ge understood his expression very well.
Not to mention the difference between Beijing officials and foreign officials, as well as the academic issue of whether a Beijing official's promotion is considered a promotion when he goes to the local area, which has been introduced in detail in the previous article.
Let’s take Guangxi as an example. It is a frontier land on the same level as Yunnan and Guizhou (although it must be admitted that Guangxi is slightly better than Yunnan and Guizhou). Moreover, the Yao people have a lot of troubles, so it is really not a good place to be a peace officer.
There is also a peculiar tradition in the Chinese dynasty. As long as the provinces with the word "West" in them when selecting officials, most of them are poor places, and Guangxi is one of them.
In other words, when a fifth-rank magistrate goes to Guangxi, according to the rules, he should at least be given a third-rank official to participate in politics in order to barely make up for the trauma of going to the frontier. Giving a fourth-rank magistrate a promotion is actually the same as a demotion.
Of course, the reasons given by the officials are absolutely high-sounding. For example, You is loyal to his duties, diligent in his work, and has made many achievements. Such a capable minister should be promoted to serve as a herdsman to show his kindness to the people. Presumably this is Guilin.
The blessing is also...
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that what happened to Mr. You can be easily connected with the incident of him smashing the official documents of the Ministry of Personnel yesterday. It seems a bit like bringing the blame on himself.
There is a difference between official procedures and private operations. Noisy and disorderly operations in private can be forgiven, and it is acceptable in official circles. Operations in secret are inherently shady, and a little shady is normal.
But when you enter the official procedure, the nature is different. It represents the operation of the bureaucratic machine. Everyone must deal with it in a formal manner and according to the existing procedures, unless you are powerful enough to get rid of the shackles of the procedures.
The behavior of Mr. You, who, as a fifth-rank official, crumbles official documents and tramples them under his feet in front of his colleagues can be described as a fool's errand. No matter how much he is retaliated against, no one will sympathize with him. Even though he did not mean it.
Yes, but if you make a mistake, it is a mistake, and the program will not reason with you.
When Li You first entered the court as the official secretary of the ticket division, he was young and frivolous and threw a post from the Imperial Procuratorate into the Jinshui River. This caused a big commotion and became the trigger of a court dispute. This was also the reason.
Inside.
After hearing what happened to You Shaoqing, Mr. Yuan Ge first said: "I have heard about Wu Sheng. In the past, he offended the powerful and was sent to Guangxi. Now that his term has expired..."
But he kept thinking about it in his mind. This matter was inseparable from Li You, and should be viewed in connection with today's interception of copper movable type in the palace. With Li You's scheming mind, he was definitely not someone who targeted someone for no reason.
His main focus at the moment must be on running the newspaper, and he will not create extraneous matters for no reason.
Mr. Yuan Ge had to admit that it had become instinctive for Li You to dig holes, bury people, and gain reputation. It was like a master's move. An antelope hanging its horns would leave no trace, and flying flowers and picking leaves could hurt people.
Yesterday, Li You casually dug a hole and caused great harm to You Shaoqing. Today, he was about to bury You Shaoqing's future. But today, he dug another hole casually, causing his own people to intercept him.
The items in the palace almost fell into it.
However, almost falling in means not falling in. This is thanks to the sincerity and kindness of the father-in-law who escorted the items. Otherwise, if he had not said a word and allowed several carts of copper movable type to be detained in Daxing County, it would have really happened.
It's a big deal.
Mr. Yuan Ge knew that if we were to be honest, instructing the county government to ban movable type was also suspected of being a public weapon and not being used for private purposes. It was reasonable and had shortcomings. But he could suppress it without involving the emperor.
Without this little power, it would have been in vain, but when it came to the emperor, he had no place to reason, and he could not reason with the emperor.
In fact, Mr. Yuan Ge also knew that Li You was merciless when digging the pit of copper movable type and deliberately let his own side go. Judging from Li You's ruthless and ruthless fighting style, it was rare. So what did he mean?
What? It must mean a warning!
In the front, he was repairing You Shaoqing, and in the back, he was digging holes to capture and release Cao. This is a variant of both kindness and power. In addition, he deliberately revealed his background in the palace, and the purpose was to warn himself not to continue to cause trouble. Everyone went to one side of the road and did their own thing.
newspaper!
Thinking of this, Mr. Yuan Ge sighed to You Shaoqing: "The water is very deep here, but if I can protect you, of course I will try my best to protect you. You can rest assured for now."
This person has to be protected. Everyone in the court knows that You Shaoqing was sent by himself to be the vice president of the newspaper. He worked for only a few days and did not commit any heinous crimes. He was repaired by Li You and became the prefect of Guilin, Guangxi. Then
Where should I put my face?
Besides, for a person who works so hard, if he allowed himself to be demoted, wouldn't other disciples be heartbroken if they saw him? It would be even more difficult to lead the team if people's hearts are broken.
But when you heard the word "the water is deep", You Shaoqing immediately broke into a cold sweat. Mr. Yuan Ge was already a bachelor of Wenhua Palace and the third-ranked prime minister. He even said that the water was deep. How deep was it? For a fifth-grade man like him.
It's really unimaginable.
Mr. Yuan Ge again ordered: "Not even a single word about the interception of copper movable type today is allowed to be revealed! It must be concealed, especially Mr. Xu Ge and Mr. Peng Ge cannot know about it!"
Li You knows how to dig holes, and he, Yuan Lide, can also dig holes. Today, he accidentally learned about Li You's royal background in running a newspaper, but others don't know yet.
The first assistant, Xu Yue, and the second assistant, Peng Chunshi, are just like themselves before, and are extremely wary of Li You running a newspaper, so let Xu Yue and Peng Chunshi, two people who don't know the truth, go fight Li You for the newspaper!
If one of those two people is unlucky, maybe he, the third greatest bachelor of ten thousand years, who has been sitting on the mountain and watching the fight between tigers and tigers, can take a step forward. It is not easy. He has been a bachelor of Wenhua Palace for more than ten years.
.
Although You Shaoqing was the whistleblower, he did not know the results and the inside story of today's interception of copper movable type. But when he saw Mr. Ge's words, he could only bury the matter in his heart and could not talk about it with anyone.
But having said that, all the situations are too complicated. Yuan Ge is old and lacks energy. He uses his brain too much and makes poor calculations. He accidentally fell into Li You's trap...
