Chapter 97: Chen Zhixian finally revealed his identity
Li You respectfully finished drinking with the old man, and then listened to Lu Shangshu say: "I have been back to my hometown for two months, and it is a worthwhile trip to get this word. I have to stay in the study to encourage myself. Li Xunjian is willing to resign.
Follow me?"
From the boss's point of view, it seems that being a Qingke aide in the Shangshu's Mansion is much better than being a patrol inspector...
Li You was shocked. The protagonist's halo was so dazzling. As soon as he said a few words, a real boss with an official rank as high as the second level regarded him as a treasure and wanted to accept him as his younger brother... What is this situation? His mind is numb.
I can't think of anything else, let alone calmly think about whether to refuse or agree.
In the whole room, only Chen Zhixian knew something about the inside story. He bowed to the old minister and said, "Don't blame me, sir. I have to be brave enough to retain people. Our county can't do without Inspector Li for a while." This was tantamount to saying no on Li You's behalf.
Lu Shangshu nodded and said, "I was so excited after seeing the words that I was a little reckless." He stopped mentioning the matter.
Inspector Li's fate was turned around in the mouths of Shangguan and Shangguan, as if he had returned to his original trajectory. At this point, no one else dared to show off his shame, and the banquet was over.
Li You, who was still confused, was asked by Chen Zhixian, "How did you learn about the situation between North Korea and China?"
This question was confusing, and Li You didn't know why. A ninth-grade inspector couldn't even read the newspaper, so how could it be his turn to worry about the important affairs of the court? It would be better to work as a historian in the county government and have nothing to do.
My job is to read the newspaper fifty times every day to know a lot of news. After thinking about it, I asked: "Where did the county magistrate say this?"
"The floating clouds cover the moon and make it unclear. Who can pull the Yangtze River to wash away the sky?" Chen Zhixian recited the last two sentences of Li You's poem just now, and said: "If you don't understand the situation of the Ming Dynasty, how can you write these two sentences?
A message for Mr. Lu?"
Li Youli inspected Mr. Li and was stunned. How could he be implicated in the current situation if he copied a song casually? What does he, a ninth-grade official on standby at the lowest level, know? It’s so unjust. I also felt that when I plagiarized,
These two sentences didn't quite fit the occasion, but I was in a hurry and didn't have time to revise them carefully, so I just read them out. What happened? I couldn't help but said carefully: "Please give me a clear explanation from the county magistrate."
Chen Zhixian asked in confusion: "Aren't you insinuating that the clouds in the court cover the moon, and the old minister is going to clean up the sky this time? If you don't know the inside story, how can you be so profound about Jing Yong's affairs?
?”
From what Chen Zhixian said, it seems that there is some kind of fight in the capital court, and Lu Shangshu, the elder of the three dynasties, will play an important role when he returns... If the second-rank Shangshu can rush back to help in the fight, it must be at least at the level of the pavilion elder.
Ridiculing the government... The grievances were like frost in June, Li You was speechless and asked the sky. What a huge contrast, the two sentences that were originally thought to be the most inappropriate for the situation have become the two sentences that are most suitable for the situation and set off the old minister.
No wonder he said he would stay in his study to encourage himself.
Inadvertently, could it be that we, like celebrities, wrote allegorical poems about worrying about the country and the people? How did Li You know who the original author was, and why he wrote these two sentences? He vaguely remembers that Yi was the braided Chao Jiaqing in his previous life.
People of the age.
He originally thought that as long as he was careful not to plagiarize anti-poems such as Qinyuan Spring Snow and the Scenery of the North Country, and only copied the poem in which the head was carefully plowed through the prison of literature, he would not be guilty of political problems. However, a slight oversight turned it into a satire.
Current affairs... He couldn't even recognize the names of several senior academicians.
Li You couldn't help but sigh, plagiarism is risky, and you need to be cautious when entering the industry. These days, the people with the strongest spiritual perception are some sensitive literati, and random scenery, flowers and plants can allude to some truth.
After thinking about it again, he felt relieved, and there seemed to be no need to worry if word got out. Today is not the terrifying era of literary inquisition, and even more cruel curses are everywhere. Writing vague poems is not a big problem. Besides, the capital is too far away from him.
Far away, even if Lu Shangshu loses, no one will care about the farewell words written by a small official from Jiangnan. The key is what the immediate boss in front of him thinks.
Li You said even more cautiously: "I really did this unintentionally. Seeing the clouds and the dark moon tonight, I don't know why I came up with these two sentences. Please don't pay attention to the county magistrate."
"Is that true? Actually, it's nothing." Chen Zhixian thought about it carefully and felt that Li You, a local bumpkin, was not a person with good hands and eyes. It was probably a coincidence.
It must be such good luck to be able to hit such a spot by chance. Chen Zhixian couldn't help but sigh and envy: "I hate that I can't write it." For him, such a combination of scenes also implies politics.
Excellent allegorical poems, no matter whether the criticism is right or wrong, as long as they can be written, they can increase the reputation of the scholar. Let Inspector Li write it, it is simply a secret, and a good poem is wasted.
Li You watched coldly and judged that the county magistrate had been stimulated to reveal his true feelings, and Bento heard nothing. If you think that the protagonist should step forward at this time and say "I can help you with this," then you are hopelessly doomed.
Li You made this mistake in his previous life.
You don’t always have to follow the stick. Sometimes it’s better to pretend you didn’t hear it. It’s like when your boss drinks too much and reveals his shortcomings by telling the truth. If I’m not healthy anymore, my words will be of no use. You should do the same.
Go up and say something, and your subordinates will do it for you!? The sentiment of Chen Zhixian is a similar situation.
Li You didn't worry about himself, but was concerned about Chen Zhixian. It was rare to have such an opportunity to have an in-depth talk with him, so he should take the opportunity to find out who was behind the county magistrate? Insinuating himself, he asked: "Well, the court dispute will not involve the county magistrate.
?”
Chen Zhixian shook his head and laughed, "You are too worried. How can a magistrate in this district be involved in the court?"
Who asked you? Li You pointed at the top calmly. What I am really worried about is your backstage.
Chen Zhixian looked at Li You a few more times before he said: "Now, it's okay to inform you. My teacher is not involved in this court dispute, so everything will be fine."
"Unfortunately, when you are in an officialdom, you can't help yourself." Li You sighed worriedly.
I only heard Chen Zhixian say proudly: "Although it is a battle between two pavilion elders, my teacher is the crown prince of the current dynasty and the official of the Ministry of Personnel. He wants to stay out of the matter. Who dares to interfere at will?"
The Minister of the Ministry of Personnel... Li You seems to have a thigh made of gold dangling in front of his eyes. This is a more practical backstage than the Prime Minister's vanity! Theoretically, the Ministry of Personnel can decide on his own for places below the fourth rank.
The promotion and retention of officials and Beijing officials below the fifth rank, so for junior officials, this department can more directly affect their destiny than the elders.
For example, in this dynasty, low-ranking officials in the capital generally did not kneel down to bow to their superiors, but simply bowed their hands in greeting. After all, there were too many high-ranking officials in the capital, so there was no way they could kneel down. But they only had to kneel down and salute when meeting the elders and ministers of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. Why?
So inexplicable.
It's a pity that Li You holds a military position and does not fall within the scope of official selection, but I think there will be opportunities in the future. No wonder Mr. Chen is not afraid of slow promotion and dares to run out of the central government to become a county magistrate. Traditionally, the country has been promoted quickly And the officials in the capital who are leisurely are noble.
Not sure how he got into the position of Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, Li You thought that he would consult Master Huang someday. But there was another strange thing: why did Chen Zhixian have such a background and be a very high-ranking Jinshi? Can't get into the prestigious Hanlin Academy? But Li You was worried about causing bad memories for Chen Zhixian, and he didn't dare to ask directly.
Finally, Li You asked a question that seemed incomprehensible to outsiders: "Last month I read in the Di newspaper that Mr. Yang, the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment, had joined the cabinet as Prime Minister. How is this person? Will nothing happen to him?"
Chen Zhixian asked curiously: "When I was in the capital, I heard that Mr. Yang Ge was famous for his fairness in dealing with things. It has little to do with this time. He should not be caught. Why do you ask about him?"
Li You avoided answering, and then left: "I will pay more attention to the current situation from now on, so I will go back first."
The reason why he cared about Mr. Yang Ge was because when he was bored and looking through the newspaper in his old residence, he found a piece of news: At the beginning of this year, when Mr. Yang was still Yang Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice, he proposed to change the inspection of the country from a military position to a miscellaneous position, but nothing happened. This incident didn't cause much commotion, but it attracted Li You's attention...
When Li You returned home, Changsui carried Li You to the second door with a lantern. After entering the backyard, Li You took the lantern and sent the Changsui away, but he could no longer move because he had to do a difficult job. Decision, one, two, three, which room should I sleep in?
While he was thinking about it, a small black figure suddenly appeared from under the corner of the wall in front of him, which startled Li You. He raised the lantern to shine it, and it turned out to be the maid Xiaozhu, so he asked: "What are you doing out there late at night?" Are you scaring me?"
If it were any other slave like this, he would have scolded her a long time ago. But this little girl was bought by him when he was still working as a yamen servant, so her meaning is extraordinary. Not to mention that she was young, and she was so poor that she was allowed to sleep in the kitchen. On the ground floor, we lived together in the most miserable times, which was a bit like a friendship in times of need. Later, when she became beautiful, she was raised as a backup concubine. Therefore, Li You was somewhat partial to Xiaozhu in his heart, and his attitude was obviously different from other slaves.
Xiaozhu grabbed the master's arm and said with a smile: "I'm here waiting for the master to come back. I've been waiting until now, and my face is cold even if I touch it."
"What are you waiting for me to do?"
Xiaozhu forcefully led Li You towards Jin Baoer and her room, "Sister Jin and I waited for the master to come back to sleep. Wasn't it always like this before?"
Li You let it take its course and walked away, so as not to have to stand there and make a difficult decision about who to sleep with. As he walked, he said: "The autumn nights are cold, so don't wait outside for so long in the future."
Xiaozhu asked in a low voice: "Are you afraid that if you are always taken away by the slave family, the two ladies will be unhappy?"
"What are you thinking about at such a young age?" Li You said with a smile.
"Oh, it was better when I lived in an official residence before. Sister Jin said the same thing." Xiaozhu sighed and said with nostalgia.
"Of course Aunt Jin has her own reasons for saying this. For you, it's not the same wherever you live."
Xiaozhu suddenly stopped, and pressed his delicate body against Li You very unskilledly, saying: "Of course it's different. In fact, the slave family prefers the master to be a yamen servant and live in a small room without anyone else. I really miss it. The second is to stay in the official residence. With Sister Kim."
The previous summer offensives have been repeatedly frustrated, and the little girl, who has been in love for two months, launched another autumn offensive against the master tonight.
Li You hugged Xiaozhu's shoulders and asked seriously: "Do you really miss that time?"
"Yes!" Xiaozhu nodded firmly and touched the master's chest.
"Okay!" Li You waved his hand and said, "I just realized that you miss sleeping in the kitchen. From now on, all the kitchens in your home will be yours, and you can sleep wherever you want!"
Xiaozhu was given a false shot by the master who pretended not to understand the charm, and the autumn offensive collapsed.
Mr. Li sighed secretly, the seedlings are getting more and more fragrant, how many times can he resist the temptation?
