Six hundred and twentieth chapters the choice of upper, middle and lower
It can be said that the situation in the Wenhua Hall was unexpected by everyone, especially Xu, Peng, Yuan, Jin and other pavilion elders who had a tacit understanding to suppress Li You. They felt even more uncomfortable.
Those court officials came forward in a swarm to petition. Although it had no actual effect. After all, petition and approval were two different things, but it was a bit ironic to these court elders.
Last time, several ministers took advantage of the good opportunity to resign during the dispute between Li You and Duan Zhien, suppressing his reinstatement and making him idle, and even deprived him of the power to run newspapers in the Imperial College.
Because several cabinet elders knew very well that for someone with a backing and meritorious service like Li You, it would be difficult to let him go down, but it would be relatively easy to prevent him from coming up. So Li You resorted to retreating to advance and resigned on his own.
The opportunity to become an official and really know how to resign is very rare. This is like a tiger falling flat.
It can be said that these elders, who originally had different ideas, had a tacit understanding in this regard and maintained a high degree of vigilance and caution. Therefore, Li You would never want to get ahead in the officialdom for at least a few years.
But they didn't expect that Li You, who seemed to have no choice but to do anything, once again found another way and actually spent his own money to run a newspaper, and also colluded with the emperor to create this situation that is beyond their control.
Then how come Li You has so many unheard-of ideas? It's like pressing the gourd and letting the gourd rise. At this time, if something goes wrong, public opinion will turn, and one after another, rumors will spread that the cabinet deliberately suppresses the meritorious officials.
Emperor Jinghe glanced at the ministers, but he still didn't pay attention. A veteran would think twice when encountering such a scene, let alone a newcomer like Emperor Jinghe who had only been in charge for more than half a year. He asked Ji: "What do the officials think?
?”
Zhao Tianguan was leisurely watching the fun. Anyway, he was not the one who suppressed the hero, and it was not him who should be blushing at this moment. How could he be willing to take over this problem for several big pavilion elders and solve this problem? He only came out and said: "Li You
There are many involved in the whereabouts, and I dare not be expert in it, but I can only ask the Holy See. You may ask the cabinet for their opinion."
Some court veterans complained in their hearts, "This is an eye-opener. This is the first time in recent years that the Minister of Civil Affairs has voluntarily handed over the power of personnel nomination to others during a court meeting."
As the head of the six foreign ministries that often compete with the cabinet, the Ministry of Personnel has never been willing to relax this core power. Today, Zhao Tianguan made an exception.
Emperor Jinghe turned to the other side: "What do the gentlemen of the cabinet think?"
Facing the Holy Lord's inquiry, several pavilion elders were silent for a short time. After a while, the first assistant Xu Yuezhuo said to him: "I have just been recommended by various recommendations. It is up to Li You to choose."
It's your own choice. It's your own choice. Hearing this, the palace couldn't help but riot again. Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, the officialdom of the country has gradually formed complex but clear rules for promotion. From the ninth-rank ambassador to the first-rank prime minister, they are all products of this rule.
, there has never been a precedent of allowing an official to "select himself". Although he only chose from several recommended areas, it was still quite out of the norm.
The emperor, who had just felt that Li You had helped a lot, also thought this was a good idea and ordered: "Let the officials handle it accordingly."
At this point, everyone can finally confirm and affirm that Li You is definitely one of the wonders in the three hundred years of the dynasty. A wonder with unique characteristics.
From the perspective of subverting the rules to a limited extent, the last miracle with this ability was Tianqi Dynasty's Nine Thousand Years Old. The next miracle was Zhang Jiangling from Wanli Dynasty. Although Master Li's current brightness is only that of a firefly compared to these two.
The difference from Haoyue.
There was a lot of discussion and the court dispersed. Others left it alone after discussing, but the Ministry of Officials followed the imperial edict and asked Li You to select officials. Zhao Tianguan returned to the ministry and arranged the matter.
The matter of selecting officials should naturally be handled by the Literary Selection Department. Zuo Langzhong sent someone to find Li You and asked him to come to the Ministry of Civil Affairs when he had an opportunity.
But it was said that Li You had already learned the news before he was summoned by the Ministry of Officials. Amidst the congratulations around him, Li You fell into deep thought. As a person whose official career was less than four years, but had already experienced ups and downs several times, he was already very good.
Calm down, I felt a pity that I didn't expect it to come so quickly.
After all, running a newspaper can be regarded as a cultural industry. Running a newspaper in an idle capacity may be called a celebrity talk. But if you return to a real job or an important job, and at the same time directly control a big company whose influence has been established, it will be regarded as a public tool.
Newspapers may become "public enemies".
A wise man should let go, at least in form. Exchange of interests is ubiquitous, and if the court allows him to "choose by himself", is it not an exchange?
Moreover, he originally thought that even if he spared no effort in investment, it would take at least three to five months for the effect to be noticeable. However, unexpectedly, it only took a few issues to achieve the situation he expected.
Therefore, Li You couldn't help but sigh, this situation happened faster than expected, and he really underestimated the impact of a newspaper with a large circulation on the current court and society.
Presumably, such a fashionable thing as running a newspaper will be successful only in this dynasty where public opinion is very important and where opinions are encouraged. In other dynasties, it would probably not be able to avoid the fate of being thrown into the street.
After thinking about it, Li You wanted to get up immediately and go to the official department to determine his future. But as soon as he stood up, he felt it was inappropriate.
He is probably the center of attention at the moment, and he is no longer a lowly person of the sixth or seventh rank waiting for an official position in the official department. It is such a special official selection, so he must show off his proper demeanor. Even if he does not make excuses and make concessions,
, and you can’t act like you’re in a hurry.
Therefore, Mr. Li continued to stay in the newspaper office and carefully read the articles in the next issue. He watched the sunset until Shi Shiran went home. Other than that, he did not say anything and did not reply to the staff, as if he wanted to elect officials.
Very indifferent.
The next day the sun was shining brightly and there was no wind or sand, so Li You took his wife, concubines and children to the Buddhist temple to offer incense. He beat the two young dandies and found three sweat towels that had been dropped from his purse. At the end of the day, he still did not go to the official department.
The ministry didn't push him either.
It was not until the third day after the imperial edict was issued that Mr. Li felt that he had almost mastered the situation, so he leisurely and steadily reported to the official department. Amidst the flattery, he found the Literary Selection Department in the backyard with unusual familiarity, and met with Zuo
The doctor talks face to face.
"At the meeting the day before yesterday, there were seven people who recommended you. It is up to you to decide whether the Holy Spirit will issue the decree or not. This is why I have called you here today." Zuo Langzhong asked Li You to sit down and went about business.
Li You solemnly thanked you for your kindness, and then asked a question that was vulgar, "Among these official positions, based on Brother Zuo's knowledge, which one is the best?"
Zuo Langzhong was stunned by Li You's straightforwardness and replied: "Of course, the official position in the Ministry of Industry is the best."
Li You nodded, that was indeed the case. Theoretically, the Sixth Department was the highest government office in the imperial court, but the sudden emergence of the cabinet diluted this color. However, in any case, the Sixth Department was still the core of the world's government affairs, and its status was not comparable to other yamen.
Although the Ministry of Industry is the least status among the six ministries, one of the six ministries is still one of the six ministries.
For him, he still lacks qualifications for the Sixth Department, and the chances of entering the Sixth Department due to his background are very few, so if he can be admitted to the Street Office of the Ministry of Industry this time, it can be regarded as a completion.
Since then, on his resume, he has been a member of the Book House, an official serving the emperor, acting magistrate, government official, acting magistrate, rectifying salt rituals, right inspector of the school and the imperial envoy of Qiandu, admiral of the Five Cities Military and Horse Division, and admiral of the Imperial Academy.
Academic Affairs. If we add a subdistrict office of the Ministry of Industry, it would be perfect. From the inner court to the prefectures, the ministry has everything it wants. It is unreasonable not to provide a platform for external affairs.
"But there are also disadvantages." Zuo Langzhong poured cold water on him: "First of all, when the moon is rising, it is losing. You can be a Qingliu officer or a punishment officer at a young age. This is something you have earned bit by bit. Those official positions
It is originally suitable for young and energetic people. However, it still feels abrupt to step into the six-part operation in one step, which makes people feel greedy and unsatisfied. Maybe this is the intention of some people.
Secondly, why has the Street Office of the Ministry of Industry, which is responsible for repairing the ditches in the streets of Jingshi, been short of staff for many years? That is because no one has been able to do this job well for decades, and it requires money, money, people, and no one, and it has to attract powerful people, so it is very difficult.
If you don't please people, it's hard to get credit and easy to get scolded.
Therefore, in my eyes, although there are great benefits to going to the Street Office of the Ministry of Industry, there are also great disadvantages. Overall, it can be said to be a middle-of-the-road choice."
Li You continued to nod. This was the truth, and then asked: "If I really go to the Ministry of Industry, my colleagues will roast me on the fire! Then which official position is the worst among the seven recommendations?"
As a comrade, Zuo Langzhong was very concerned about Mr. Li's whereabouts, so he didn't hide it or say anything. "The worst person is of course the president of the Office of the Imperial College. Although the stone sacrificial wine is out of public motives, there is no other reason."
intention, but if you actually go, it will be equivalent to being killed.
Let’s not mention that the Imperial College itself is a cold-blooded yamen. It has a clear name but no real power. Let’s talk about running newspapers. If there is no clear reason for reporting, the Imperial College’s newspaper office may have something to do. Therefore, at the beginning, all parties were competing for it and each had their own arrangements.
manpower.
But now that the Pravda is in front of you, the Pravda is dying within a few days. Even if you copy the methods of the Pravda, you may not be able to bring it back to life. Besides, how can you give up your own Pravda and then work hard to lift the Pravda?
?
Therefore, it is not known how long this newspaper office can last. It is really a dead place for officialdom. It is the next best choice among the seven recommendations."
Li You frowned and thought for a while, then continued to ask: "In Brother Zuo's eyes, which one is the best choice?"
Zuo Langzhong was waiting for Li You's words, "The best choice is the one recommended by Mr. Yin Yao of Shuntian Prefecture to inspect the prison cases of the guards in various counties of Shuntian Prefecture.
The advantages are very obvious. Firstly, it is in line with your title of Imperial Envoy of the Imperial City, and there is no need to make too sudden changes, which will not attract other people’s attention; secondly, you are familiar with this area, and you are familiar with the roads; thirdly, you can temporarily leave the capital to the right and wrong place.
, and you don’t have to leave too far, you can return to the capital at any time if something happens.”
Mr. Zuo is worthy of being a government expert who has been in the Ministry of Civil Affairs for more than ten years. He is a popular candidate to be directly promoted to Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs in the future. He made a heart-to-heart analysis and explained the pros and cons of several options clearly and clearly.
"Thanks to Brother Zuo's teachings, I'm going to Ming Gan Wu Nei!" Li You made up his mind and punched the table: "Then I will choose to be the president of the newspaper office!"
"Okay...what did you say?" Zuo Langzhong said in shock. He thought he heard wrongly. There were three strategies, the upper, the middle, and the lower. It was understandable to choose the upper, the middle, but how could he choose the lower one? It was never mentioned in the storytelling poems.
Have you ever seen anyone choose the next best thing! (To be continued...)
