As the person involved, Li You reacted the fastest, and everyone else responded immediately. If the new Yamen was raised to the third level, it would be of great significance. It was not just a simple upgrade of two levels.
The fifth grade is a threshold, the threshold from low to intermediate, and the third grade is also a threshold, the threshold from intermediate to high. Except for a few special cases, only those above third grade can be commonly known as senior officials or senior officials. This threshold is difficult to cross.
.
Becoming a third-rank yamen official means that the official of the Zhengyin Hall must also be a third-rank official. In any case, it is certain that Li You, as a young and inexperienced fifth-rank official, could not reach Zhengyin even if he could jump one foot high.
The edge of the third grade.
By then, I'm afraid he won't even be able to become a fourth-grade deputy official. With his fifth-grade rank, he can only serve as a subordinate official of a certain organization within the Cultural Propaganda Institute.
What's the benefit of that? For Li You, it's not even as good as the current situation. At least his nominal boss, Lord Jiu Shi of the Imperial College, has completely let go. He has no constraints on his position as the president of the newspaper office.
He, Li You, had worked hard for a long time, why did he come here? Didn't he just want to take advantage of the opportunity and become the Zhengyintang official of the new Yamen of the imperial court? Only in this way can he make a step forward in the officialdom. As the saying goes, it is better to be a chicken's mouth than a chicken's mouth.
For the cow queen.
Of course, he would not recommend himself in a tasteless way in the petition for the opening of a yamen, but as the current person in charge of the official newspaper of the imperial court, it would be logical for him to serve as the official of Zhengyintang after the yamen is opened, no matter what the name of the yamen is.
.
But the premise is that his rank meets the requirements. Otherwise, even if the emperor personally selects him, it is impossible for him to be a third-rank envoy of the Cultural Propaganda Academy.
Mr. Peng Ge continued to praise: "I have thought about it in private, and the more I think about it, the more I feel that what Mr. Li has said is very correct and can be regarded as a far-sighted strategy. Public opinion affects people's hearts, so it is definitely not a trivial matter. Your Majesty, please pay attention to it! Wenxuan Yuan
Changing it to a third-grade yamen will be enough to show the attitude of the imperial court..."
It was a matter of his own family's future, and Li You had no choice but to object: "This is wrong!"
Mr. Peng Ge asked back: "Could it be that Mr. Li wants to say that the newspaper matter is not that important?"
Li You spoke eloquently: "The words of the elder Ge are likely to encourage the growth of young people. This matter is a new matter, and the prospects are unpredictable. It is better to be cautious. It is right to predict defeat before you predict victory."
If the grade of the third-grade yamen is too high, it will have too much influence on the court, which is really rash and reckless. If something goes wrong, it will be inconvenient to deal with the aftermath. It is better to set it to a fifth-grade of suitable size first. As the saying goes, a small boat can turn around easily. If something goes wrong, it will be easy to deal with it.
correct."
It is proposed to change the yamen of Wenxuanyuan to the third rank. Most of the third-rank officials in the palace are not interested in participating. Because they are already either the ministers of the six departments or the ministers of the temple, and the next position they will consider is the minister or the governor, so even if there is an additional yamen of the third rank, they will not be able to participate in it.
It really doesn't matter much about your future.
Some senior fourth-grade officials are eager to give it a try and want to support and agree with Mr. Peng Ge’s opinions. One more third-grade yamen will provide an opportunity for promotion, so why not?
I also heard Mr. Peng Ge say: "When you do something, you should work hard and go all out. How can you look forward and backward, and be afraid of your hands and feet?"
Li You continued to argue: "Things that are familiar to you can be like this. But new things are different. You have to cross the river by feeling the stones. So it is better to take it one step at a time. If Mr. Peng Ge thinks that the Wenxuan Academy's fifth grade is too low, then things will happen in the future.
After we gradually get on the right track, we can upgrade the yamen on the spot, so what’s the difficulty?”
Upgrade on the spot in the future? Is this to give you an advantage? Peng Gelao thought, and just as he was about to say something else, Li You spoke again: "We are still trying to deal with the official report, and there are many imperfections.
However, the deficit has not yet been eliminated, and it is very likely to fall into a semi-dead situation again.
Looking at all the princes in the palace, it is not easy to be a third-grade pillar. If you preside over the Propaganda Institute and accidentally get into trouble due to official reports, how will you deal with yourself? Where will you go? Is Mr. Peng Ge, who is trying to encourage others, willing to bear this responsibility?
?But if it is only a slightly smaller fifth grade, it will be easy to deal with and it will not have much impact on the government."
When others say these things, they may not be convincing, but when Li You says this, the meaning is different. After all, Li You pioneered the new newspaper concept, and it was in his hands that he demonstrated its power. There are currently no successful cases for others.
So he is naturally the authority.
The fourth-rank courtiers in the palace who were about to make a move suddenly stopped their thoughts at this moment. Li You's words were not simple, they were really not simple, they were very meaningful.
I don’t know if other people heard what Li You meant, but Mr. Peng Ge thought he did. These few words contained a hidden threat - no matter who is in charge of this third-grade cultural propaganda institute, don’t blame me for screwing up the matter.
If someone else said this, it would be a sign of anger. Mr. Peng Ge would just laugh it off, but he did not dare to despise Li You like this. Li You was definitely qualified to say this.
The reason why Mr. Peng Ge proposed to upgrade the Wenxuanyuan to the third rank was because he had an old friend who had served as the imperial envoy of Qiandu for eight years. He was the oldest fourth-rank official and it was time for him to be promoted. So Mr. Peng Ge came out for an interview.
, I want to see if there is a chance this time to fight for the opportunity to be promoted to the third level for this old friend.
However, Li You's secret threat was like pouring a bucket of cold water on Mr. Peng Ge, who woke him up. Sending him to be Li You's boss, and a Li You who was full of resentment and in charge of actual business, wouldn't that be a sheep in a tiger's mouth?
?
Li You was determined to win, but was deprived of the opportunity to become a Zhengyintang official. How could he give up? The last time the court deprived him of the power to run a newspaper, what were the consequences? With the emperor's backing, his revenge was not so pleasant.
Distant examples include Magistrate Mao and Shi Shenzheng in Suzhou, recent examples include Luo Shenzheng, Ding Yunshi, and Yang Futai in Yangzhou, and even more recent examples include two former vice presidents of the Office of the Imperial College...
The above people all flashed through their minds, and countless precedents told Mr. Peng Ge that Li You's threat was not a joke, and one could not send his own people as targets for Li You. It was like a meat bun that would never come back.
Besides, Li You's idea of running an official newspaper was a good idea. It was not disadvantageous to them objectively, so why bother with it for the time being? Regardless of whether a new Propaganda Institute was opened or not, the newspaper was actually in Li You's hands. The only difference was the name.
It's not worth fighting to the death with Li You for this false reputation.
Thinking of this, Mr. Peng Ge said nothing more and returned to his class.
The first assistant came out for a moment and then went back. The second assistant came out for a moment and then went back. Yuan Ge, the third-ranked scholar of Wenhua Palace, looked at his nose and heart with his old eyes and had no intention of standing up. He was looking at the emperor's face.
, the emperor seemed to be partial to Li You, and he could only endure it if he had any objections.
As for Mr. Lu Ge, he must be a strong supporter of Li You. Another great scholar, Mr. Yang Ge, has always had a good attitude towards Li You, and he will probably not go against him. Mr. Jin Ge, the last scholar of Dongge University, what is the situation in this situation?
Attitude no longer matters.
The big boss of the cabinet basically set the tone. Seeing that the overall situation had been decided, and the emperor was about to issue an edict, Li Denggao, the editor of the Hanlin Academy who was serving today, suddenly came out from the side and had something to report. The monarchs and ministers in the palace
I looked at Editor Li curiously, wondering what he had to say.
Li Denggao's voice was slightly sharp, "Newspapers are sacred and must be observed. Li You was born in a humble servant. His character is low, he has no fame, and lacks talent and learning. How can he be entrusted with the important task of presiding over public opinion!"
Originally, there were some whispers in the hall, but after hearing Editor Li's words, it suddenly became silent again, and countless eyes became stunned.
As the saying goes, "Hit someone without slapping someone in the face, and scold someone without exposing someone's fault." Li Denggao's words were both a slap in the face and an insult, and offended Li You to the point of death.
It is said that when fighting in the court, no one used Li You's background as a target. There are several reasons. First, Li You's various auras are too dazzling, which can offset the disadvantages of his background to a certain extent;
Second, not everyone has a good background. Attacking Li You's background can easily create a map and offend a large number of people with poor backgrounds, thus making enemies;
Third, the dispute in court is about discussing matters, but it seems unreasonable to use one's personal experience to express the matter, and the character is so low that it can only tear people's faces and attack them personally. What is the difference between insulting others as bald, deaf, blind, and lame? This is self-destruction.
A little less graceful.
Fourth, although Li You had no background, he was promoted very quickly, from the seventh rank to the fifth rank in just two or three years, but the process was relatively solid, and there was not much criticism in the process. In the officialdom, strength is respected, and since Li Youan is stable
He has the ability to sit in this position. Attacking his background is another way of saying that the court does not know people well.
Therefore, today Li Denggao openly broke up like this, scolding Li You in front of the ministers for his despicable background and being unworthy of the important responsibilities. It was really unprecedented, and people couldn't help but be shocked. However, no one supported him, and even Li You's enemies did not take the opportunity to come out.
Biting randomly.
Everyone knew that Li Denggao and Li You had a close relationship. During the emperor's southern tour last year, Li You's sharp words humiliated Li Denggao to the point of committing suicide by diving into the water. This grudge is really not trivial.
After that, Li You became more and more powerful as an official, while Li Denggao kept a low profile, as if he had learned a lesson and tolerated it when he knew it was necessary in the officialdom. But he didn't expect Editor Li to jump out again at this time. Could it be that he was looking at Li You?
Bubu Qingyun finally broke out intolerable?
After all, Editor Li is still too immature and too narrow-minded. He was blinded by the fire of jealousy, and then he made such shocking remarks in a daze. His behavior is no different from a shrew scolding the street. Some of his words are inappropriate.
What should be said, everyone sighed with emotion after finishing the analysis.
Then everyone continued to wait curiously, wondering how Li You would respond to such a situation? In any case, his background and fame were indeed his shortcomings. If he got entangled with Li Denggao in this regard, his own face would not be good.
Can hold up.
Seeing Li You gritting his teeth and looking livid, Mr. Peng Ge and others couldn't help but feel a little schadenfreude. Li You claimed to be invincible in debates in the court, but he had to follow the rules. In the face of Li Denggao, this was completely unreasonable.
Yes, he was driven crazy by jealousy, let’s see what he can do.
