Chapter 612 Public affairs must have a public heart... (seeking the moon
After the dynasty dispersed, most of the courtiers left the Meridian Gate and dispersed outside the palace. Only a small group turned to the Huiji Gate in the east and went to the Wenhua Hall to attend the court meeting.
Today, Li You is among this small group. The difference between him and others is that others go directly to the palace to wait for His Majesty's arrival. But he is waiting outside the palace. He is not the official secretary of the ticket division now. For him, Wenhua Palace,
A place where no one can enter unless you are right or wrong.
However, he was not the only one waiting, there were also acquaintances accompanying him, including the Imperial College Stone Sacrifice Wine, the Supervisory Censor of Fujian Province, and Sun Yijiang, the Vice President of the newspaper.
After Li You said hello, he stood silently. He thought to himself, why did he summon them to the temple today?
After thinking about it, it was probably because of his impeachment for "officials doing business". Otherwise, there has been nothing else recently that could be related to him as an idle official.
Every time there is a court meeting, there must be more than one thing going on. It's Li You's turn. He doesn't know when it will be, but he has to wait patiently no matter how long it takes. Officials have no freedom in the face of rules.
I don't know how much time passed, but Li You was bored and was about to chat with the Jinyi guards on duty in the corridor. Suddenly, he heard the Jinyi guards in the palace summoning: "Summon Shi Lun, Li You, Sun Yijiang and others into the palace!"
The three people quickly tidied up their clothes and walked to His Majesty Dan in the palace to bow to the emperor. After they were granted peace, they heard the holy voice asking: "You He of Honglu Temple destroyed the official post that day. What is the origin of it? Is it true?
Interested? Your Majesty and the other three are all present and can describe the situation at that time."
It turned out to be this! Li You was surprised. He already had new ideas about You Shaoqing, but before he had time to communicate with others, he didn't expect that he would come to the palace to discuss the matter now. The emperor and the big brother were too
After free time, this trivial matter was discussed seriously in the palace.
It is said that the day before yesterday, the Ministry of Civil Affairs prepared a list for this election and submitted it to the palace. This list actually arranged for Mr. You to be the prefect of Guilin Prefecture in Guangxi.
This, of course, aroused strong dissatisfaction among Mr. Yuan Ge. He suddenly felt that he was being despised, so he made a fierce report to the emperor, wanting to refute the list back to the Ministry of Officials. This especially affected him and he had to protect it, as it was directly related to his face and face.
prestige.
Mr. Yuan Ge's attitude in turn aroused strong dissatisfaction with Zhao Liangren, the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, who believed that it was a certain Wenhua Palace scholar who was unclear about his position and grossly interfered with the government affairs of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. The place in Guilin Mansion was too remote, and for a while
Unable to find a suitable candidate with sufficient qualifications who would not offend anyone, You He happened to knock on the door, so he took advantage of Master You to fill the hole.
As a result, unexpectedly, with You Shaoqing as the trigger, the cabinet disputes that were common in the history of the Ming Dynasty were staged on a small scale.
As mentioned earlier, the Ministry of Personnel is the head of the six ministries. Its responsibilities are clearly stated to be to handle government affairs on behalf of the emperor. Its status is different from other ministries. It is also the only yamen in the outer dynasty that dares to challenge the cabinet. This can be regarded as a traditional program of the Ming Dynasty.
Zhao Tianguan and Yuan Ge Lao each insisted on their own opinions and refused to give in to each other. One said, "You are diligent in public affairs. However, your arrogant and domineering behavior is not careful, and you should let it go outside to correct the discipline. If you make corrections, you can return to Beijing for use in the future."
One said, "Young Master occasionally makes unintentional mistakes, and a little warning is enough. The officials are sent thousands of miles away. It is obviously selfish and deliberate revenge."
Finally, the focus was on that day when You He smashed the official documents of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. Did you know the contents of the official documents? Was it intentional or unintentional?
Two grandpa-level bosses got into an angry fight. The emperor looked left and right and couldn't persuade him. He had no choice but to order other people present to go to the palace to testify today. They must speak with facts. If the truth is found, the losing side will naturally have nothing to say.
It can be said.
This is the reason why the trio of Shi Jijiu, Inspector Li, and Sun Yushi were called. Among the trio, Shi Jijiu has the highest rank, the most respected position, and the oldest age, so he has to express his stance first.
Lord Shi is a man of integrity and will not lie openly and unintentionally, so he did not hesitate and immediately told the emperor: "It was a complete accident. It was an unintentional mistake, Lord You."
The brand image of Shiji Liquor for many years is put here. He said that Master You was just an honest mistake, and most of the people in the palace believed it. It seems that You He is not relying on the support of Mr. Yuan Ge to be arrogant and domineering.
Mr. Yuan Ge also breathed a sigh of relief. But the problem is that the truth is not necessarily correct, and correctness is not necessarily the truth. Therefore, we have to listen to other people's opinions.
Emperor Jinghe looked at Li You on the throne. Ordinarily he should be the second one to speak, but the emperor suddenly felt that "this is a sharp weapon and should not be opened lightly". In order to calm down the incident, he turned his eyes to the other one.
Sun Yushi, the vice president of newspaper management, inquired: "Are you Sun Yijiang? Have you ever witnessed what happened that day?"
After learning the purpose of his visit, Sun Yushi struggled for a moment. When he heard the emperor's question, he gritted his teeth and replied: "At that time, Li You once talked about official affairs related to the history of supervising students. Your Excellency passed away first.
After brazenly destroying official documents, it is not false to say that he is arrogant and domineering."
Sun Yushi's words are very subtle. Comparing them carefully with Shi Jijiu's words, the literal meaning does not have the opposite meaning, but it makes people feel that the meaning is the opposite. He is trying to drive away You Shaoqing.
Of course, Sun Yushi had enough reasons to get rid of this colleague who was also the vice president. First, Mr. Yuan Ge had always had ambitions to be the chief assistant. He had not been in harmony with his backers for many years, so there was no need to help Mr. Yuan Ge.
Secondly, he didn't want You Shaoqing to continue to be the vice president, otherwise when the newspaper was upgraded in the future, there would be another competitor competing for the official position. If You Shaoqing was driven away, even if a new vice president was brought in, his qualifications would be a little worse than his own.
.Don’t underestimate this point, it will be enough to affect the issue of regularization in the future.
In the trio of witnesses, the first two have opposite meanings. True or false is not important, attitude determines everything. Therefore, we still cannot make judgments and decisions, and we can only rely on what the third person says.
Looking at the third person, the ministers in the palace cheered up. This was Li You's time, and it was too exciting to miss. Li You said that he didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He didn't want to be the center of attention at all.
Most of the people, including Zhao Tianguan, were watching the fun. Only Mr. Yuan Ge and a few people were anxious. Li You was the instigator of this matter. How could he spit out ivory from his dog's mouth? Jiang Xinyue, the censor of Zuodu, looked at him with eyes.
Mr. Yuan Ge didn't know what to do.
Although Mr. Yuan Ge made up his mind two years ago not to come forward in person to have "verbal communication" with Li You, lest the repeated humiliation of his status happen again. But now he had no choice but to resolutely go out and report to the emperor: "This matter
Among them, Mr. Li and Mr. You are both parties involved. Therefore, it is inevitable that he has partiality and cannot be a witness."
What Mr. Yuan Ge said makes sense, but at most it is just a little emotional. Because strictly speaking, the incident happened between Li You and You Shaoqing at that time, so asking Li You to testify would obviously be biased.
When the Yamen decides the case, Li You cannot be allowed to testify.
At this time, Li You suddenly spoke and said to the emperor: "I am dissatisfied! Mr. Yuan Ge made wild speculations out of thin air, concluded that I was biased for no reason, and first designated me as an untrustworthy person. Such words are also
Can you just say it casually in front of His Majesty? If you look at it this way, Mr. Yuan Ge is truly a selfish person, so he said such arbitrary words!"
Yuan Ge's old words were reasonable, but Mr. Li's quickness to seize the loophole made it even more reasonable. Everyone had to admire him. His reaction and eloquence were indeed astute.
Jing He Tianzi couldn't help but feel a headache, one wave after another. The matter with You Shaoqing has not settled yet. Seeing that Li You and Yuan Ge Lao were about to quarrel over just a few words. Regarding the history of the quarrel between these two people, he was very familiar with it.
I was deeply impressed by the fact that the first time Li You had a quarrel in the court was when he and Mr. Yuan Ge were scolding each other.
You can't stop Li You from talking, otherwise wouldn't it be equivalent to agreeing with what Yuan Ge said, "Li You has partiality in his heart"? Emperor Jinghe thought about it for a moment and asked: "Li You, you can tell me everything about the situation at that time, and don't think it's anything else."
According to."
Boss Yuan Ge was shocked. If he really wanted Li You to discuss this matter, it would be trivial to confuse right and wrong! He regretted that he had just spoken with emotion, and Li You had grasped the situation.
Li You received the emperor's signal and said: "At that time, I had a slight fault between you and your master. Later, your master made the mistake unintentionally. In fact, as Shijiu said, it was just an unintentional mistake.
Felony."
As soon as this statement came out, it was beyond everyone's expectation. Is Li You going to excuse You Shaoqing? I didn't expect that Li You would be so magnanimous and ignore past grudges. This is the first time in history that Mr. Li has excused his opponent, right?
Elder Yuan Ge had prepared so many words in his heart, and was ready to refute it after Li You, but suddenly he heard Li You helping You Shaoqing to speak, and was stunned for a moment. Could it be that a dog can really spit out ivory from its mouth?
Zhao Tianguan, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, was also very confused. Although the stay of You Shaoqing was not a matter of life and death for him, if others dared to go back on their words like this, they would definitely be thrown into the cold palace by him.
However, Zhao Tianguan knew Li You very well, and out of trust he knew that Li You would not take the wrong aim. These few words were definitely well-prepared, and there must be some truth to them, but it was not clear what their purpose was for the time being.
Li You took advantage of others' astonishment and secretly gave Zhao Tianguan a wink. There was nothing he could do, the thing happened too suddenly, and there was a lack of sufficient communication and preparation before, so he could only shock himself and others.
Emperor Jinghe, who had been suffering from a headache for a long time, was overjoyed. This Li You was really considerate of the emperor's heart and knew how to put himself down to put an end to the trouble! Otherwise, with his ability, he would have turned You Shaoqing and Yuan Ge to ashes.
Everyone had their own thoughts, and there was a brief silence. Li You felt that he should say something else. He turned to Mr. Yuan Ge, cupped his hands, and taught Dundun very sincerely: "I believe that official matters must be done properly.
Be public-minded. Strive to act impartially when doing things and speaking. Don't be arbitrary for your own good, so as to avoid misjudgment and misunderstanding of others. Does Mr. Yuan Ge think so?"
"That makes sense!" Mr. Yuan Ge replied expressionlessly, under the gaze of all kinds of strange eyes around him.
