Chapter 558: Do I Still Want to Work With You?
With Li You's appearance, "talent", skills, and words, as long as he wants to pull the wind, it is always easy to find, whether it is in the public officials or celebrities and beauties, whether it is in the fields or in the temples of the government offices.
Just like this time, a slave of the Li family and a eunuch of the Ten Princes Mansion were ordered by the eldest princess of Guide to look for Li You in the Fuchengmen Coal Market. The two thought it would take a lot of effort, but they found it easily, and they felt like "you don't need to look back, that person is in the dim light".
At this time, Li You was chatting cordially with a few poor scholars, and there were 100 awe-struck onlookers around. He was a little surprised to see his family and hear that the eldest princess had arrived. When he saw the eunuch again, he knew that the eldest princess had sent him to keep an eye on him, lest he deliberately hide outside.
However, the main purpose had been achieved, and he naturally did not have to stay here any longer, so he got up and went home. Li You really wanted to buy coal, and planned to purchase 3,000 catties to support it until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. But there is no way, now there is no place to buy those with a price, and I don't want to pull down my face to ask the major coal merchants to open the back door, thinking about going back and borrowing a few hundred catties from some acquaintances.
The eunuch sent by the eldest princess to invite people said with a little flattery: "Lord Li doesn't have to worry about the charcoal, His Royal Highness Chitose has already sent someone to transport 10,000 catties from the palace to your mansion." β
Then it would be disrespectful, and Li You was completely relieved. In less than half an hour, Li You entered the alley where he was located, his eyes were cold, and he was shocked and said, "Why is Kurama snub in front of the door today?" β
To be honest, there are quite a few people who have come to visit him in the past two days. made him feel that the righteousness of this world was still the mainstream, and he still won the hearts of the people! Well, we can't help but admit that there is also a reason why the strength of the eunuch party is not in the climate and the deterrent is very poor. But why is there no one today? Could it be that the situation has taken a new direction?
I didn't understand what the old man was nervous about for no reason, and the family replied: "His Royal Highness Chitose sent someone to guard the door outside your mansion, claiming that Lord Li will not see any guests today. I see, Li You quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
The Li family raised Mr. Cui and Mr. Zhou to act as clear guests, and helped to receive and talk when guests came to the door. But today, the eldest princess of Guide is a female junior, so there is no need to bother the two gentlemen. She went straight to the backyard to meet her husband like a lady who went to the door.
In the backyard hall, the charcoal fire was very strong, and the eldest princess of Guide and Li You's wife and concubine sat around and talked, at this time, except for Aunt Cheng, who returned to her parents' house, the rest of the rooms were there. Chitose deliberately ordered someone. I want to take the children out of the second and third rooms and show her them.
The eldest sister sat in her mother's arms, and was attracted by the exquisite royal royal flying phoenix hairpin on the eldest princess's hair bun. The little girl is not stage frightened. Very bold to reach out and grab it. But the little arms were too short, and they couldn't grasp them when they stretched them out, which caused a lot of laughter.
The eldest princess plucked the flying phoenix hairpin made of pure gold inlaid with red agate, folded off the pointed head and sent it to the eldest sister's small palm. Although it is very valuable, Kimbell doesn't care too much, with her background, she doesn't have any concept of whether things are precious or not. just coaxed her daughter to say a few vague and vague sentences of thanks.
Therefore, it is casual to send and accept calmly. It's like it's just a little bit of silver on the side of the road. The eldest princess teased the eldest sister a few times here, but the main attention was still quietly on Erlang.
None of them. It's just a matter of worrying about it. The little Erlang in front of him is a man, and her little Liu'er is also a man, and they are all the seeds of a father, and they always want to compare when they meet.
This Erlang is only two years old a month away, at this time he is like a little adult, sitting quietly and with eyes, the eldest princess praised: "A gentleman who reads will become a great weapon." Guan Xiuxiu hurriedly thanked him for his humility. β¦,
The girls talked for a while, but saw Li You open the curtain and enter the house. The wives and concubines of the Li family got up one after another, went back to the house, and left the lord and the eldest princess alone.
Li You took a few sips of hot tea first, took a few sneaky glances, and found that she was actually in a good mood, without the slightest guilt and guilt, which was really unpleasant. So he asked with a straight face, "What are you doing here?" β
"I heard that your house is short of charcoal, so I specially sent you charcoal in the snow." The eldest princess replied while observing her words, and seeing that her lover did not put on a high posture and refused to accept, she also put her mind at ease, and it seemed that she was not really angry because she sat back and watched her friendly troops suffer and move like a mountain. Then he asked, "What are your plans now?" β
Li You replied solemnly: "Although you are unofficial and light, you must not seek to make a living." This officer... In the next plan, he will first run a business and open the silver number in the capital. After a few months of getting on the right track, he moved his family south back to Suzhou, and then opened a branch there, so that the three joint numbers of Beijing, Yangzhou and Suzhou were formed. Since then, he has kept his family business to raise children, spent the rest of his life as a rich man, and made his due contribution to the cultural and artistic cause of my Ming Dynasty by the way. β
When Guide Chitose heard her lover's "life plan", she couldn't help but laugh out loud, "It's really full of nonsense!" I don't believe that you, an official fan, are willing to abandon your official body to become a rich man, why don't you mention returning the three-grade world job and the golden book and iron coupon to my Zhu family? Otherwise, what kind of rich man is this? β
"How can there be no one in the court, the sea is sinister, and it is not easy to be an official."
"Speaking of which, do you still blame me for refusing to help you? I did as you said, and you were not satisfied. β
Li You didn't understand, raised his eyelids and asked, "What did I say?" β
The eldest princess of Guide said innocently: "A while ago, you advised me to think more about myself in the future, didn't I just listen to you?" So this time I thought about myself, a little selfish once, and I ended up complaining again. You men are so fickle. β
You're fickle! Li You, who was beaten upside down, was so angry that his teeth itched, but after thinking about it carefully, he found that his mistress's words made some sense.
With the pro-government of the Son of Heaven, various structures around the Son of Heaven's inner palace, inner court, and outer dynasty gradually took shape, getting rid of the unconventional state of the Empress Dowager's reign.
But in the conventional traditional model, there is no place for the princess to intervene, and now the eldest princess has exerted some influence with the personal prestige accumulated in the past ten years, but the savings will always be spent one day. Her new creation of Shaofu can be regarded as a way to take precautions and find another way.
If the inside and outside are in order. Each goes its own way, or one party is dominant and super stable, then she, the eldest princess, can only watch the excitement from afar, and there is no excuse. But with internal and external strife and stalemate, the situation is different, and she has the opportunity to fish in troubled waters.
Because looking at the entire capital, she is the only one who has the ability to meddle in the outer court and the inner palace at the same time, and directly exert influence on the Son of Heaven, as well as the natural identity of a member of the royal family. It's working. Nature can act as an indispensable regulator and wrest its own power from it.
No wonder she is in such a good mood, in this situation, I am afraid that the Son of Heaven will also have a big head, and maybe she will have to ask her to settle things.
Thinking of this, Li You made a sneering appearance and said sarcastically: "Your idea is very good. But do you have what it takes, be careful of playing with fire! And it depends on who the other person is. In my opinion. That period of Zhi'en won the trust of the Son of Heaven, and he intended to expand his power in the palace, which was not friendly to you for a long time. You have deliberately indulged him until now, and his wings have gradually grown into a tail, what can you do with him now? β
Guide Chitose said disdainfully: "This is a native chicken tile dog, a dry bone in the mound!" That's why you think of him as a character. ββ¦,
β¦β¦
Li You was speechless, if the curse could kill Duan Zhien, he would have died ten thousand times. The woman in front of you. Recently, it has become more and more unreliable, and it has come to this point. is so paralyzed and careless, I don't know whether to live or die. Did she really think that Princess Daming was not sent to Fengyang to be imprisoned in the high wall?
Li You decided to make it clear. Isn't this lesson profound enough so as not to harm others and oneself? He questioned in a serious tone: "If you are not serious like this, whether you will cooperate with you in the future, I have to carefully weigh it in my heart." β
The meaning of her lover's complicated gaze, how could the eldest princess of Guide not be clear? She took the initiative to come here today, also to understand the happy knot, after all, she still wants to be a long-term dew couple.
However, His Royal Highness Chitose didn't say much, and carefully took out a roll of yellow silk from the inner jacket on his chest, placed it on the table, and gently spread the roll of yellow silk flat, revealing a small section.
Li You had seen a lot of this kind of thing, and immediately recognized it as an edict. Looking at the eldest princess's appearance as a treasure, Li You guessed in his heart, could this be the legendary edict of the former emperor?
As we all know, before the death of the emperor, he made some arrangements for the aftermath. According to what Li You heard, because the crown prince (now Jing and the Son of Heaven) was young, the first emperor issued an edict that Empress Qian (now the queen mother) would listen to the government, and designated Zhang Ruoyu (now deceased), Peng Chunshi (now Zhankeng's second assistant), Yuan Lide (unchanged for ten thousand years) and other scholars as auxiliary ministers.
In the end, in front of Queen Qian, the crown prince, and the scholars, the emperor ordained that Princess Guide (now a long character has been added) was responsible for taking care of the affairs of the inner palace and disciplining the palace maids before the marriage of the Son of Heaven, stationed in the Zhaofeng Hall of the main palace, and gave Princess Guide a secret edict as a certificate.
This is something of great historical significance, and it is also the biggest legal basis for the eldest princess to act. Without waiting for His Royal Highness Chitose to say anything, Li You took the initiative to step forward and get close to Huang Aya's gaze to take a closer look.
A unique fragrance soaked into his nose, and he couldn't help but think of the place where it was hiding, Li You's heart fluttered, and he hurriedly put it away, and the business was important.
In the exposed paragraph, there is nothing in front of it, it is nothing more than some clichΓ©s of authorization and encouragement, but there are a few unusual sentences at the end -
"After the crown prince came into power, the first internal supervisor who persuaded the Son of Heaven to dismiss the minister could ask the ancestors to punish him. If you violate this edict, you must not be a descendant of the Zhu family! β
In the warm room, two drops of cold sweat broke out in Li You's head. Duan Zhien slandered the Son of Heaven and forced himself to lose his position, which was exposed by the Son of Heaven himself. Wouldn't it be the sentence "the first internal supervisor lieutenant who persuaded the Son of Heaven to dismiss the minister"? I hadn't heard of anything like this before.
No wonder the eldest princess doesn't care about Duan Zhien, in her eyes, it is indeed "the dry bones in the soil chicken tile dog mound", the more cheerful Duan's father-in-law jumps, the happier he will die. I tried my best to set up a game to deal with Duan's father-in-law, it was like child's play.
In the final analysis, the eunuch is the royal domestic slave, and the royal family deals with the eunuch, maybe it is a matter of a few words, how can the civil official work so hard.
Also, the state of mind of the former emperor is really unfathomable, in this sentence "Kill the first internal supervisor who persuaded the Son of Heaven to dismiss the minister", the connotation of power is extremely profound, and it is endlessly evocative.
The eldest princess of Guide stood beside her without saying a word, quietly watching her lover study and figure out the secret edict. I don't know how long it took, but I saw him raise his head again, his face was full of sincerity, and he shouted affectionately: "Be careful, let's talk about cooperation carefully."
