Chapter 477: Provocation (Asking for a Monthly Pass!) )
With Xu Shizi's second-rate political experience in Nanjing, a place where idle officials retire, he really couldn't understand the mystery for a while, so he could only hold a poster in his hand and stand in a daze, not knowing how to react.
A group of noble children who cheered for Xu Shizi several times were also speechless, although the queen mother has great power, it is still not possible to completely cover a corner. Today, I can see with my own eyes how simple and easy it is for a powerful civil official to clean up his honors.
Li Youwan continued as follows an ultimatum: "This official has a word first, the Beijing division is not Nanjing, the prince is good at himself, remember to go to the Metropolitan Procuratorate to meet the official tomorrow morning." ”
He walked to the door and said to Xu Shoufu again: "The lower officials are tracking down Wei Guogong, and they don't intend to exonerate someone Ding, and Ge Lao Xiu wants to intercede for this." ”
Sometimes the words are listened to, sometimes the words are listened to, with Xu Shoufu's IQ, he naturally knows that this is the opposite words. In fact, the meaning is that if the lower officials bite Wei Guogong, Ding Qianyun will naturally reduce his responsibility.
Xu Shoufu's face was expressionless, but he didn't hear it, and walked away. Li You didn't care, and also went south out of the imperial city to go home.
Out of the right gate of Chang'an, Li You found Zhu Fanghe standing by the side of the road waiting, so he stepped forward to salute.
"How's it going?" Zhu Bulang hurriedly asked.
Li You briefly explained the situation, and Zhu Fanghe sighed: "In the past two days, it has been rumored that the Holy Mother is going to completely dismiss you, and you take over the two Huaiyan cases and seize the prince of Wei Guo, this is to make the Queen Mother cast a mouse?" After all, now everyone knows that Our Lady intends to reuse the Duke of Wei, and has issued an edict to let the Duke of Wei enter Beijing. ”
"The subordinates were soft-spoken, and they had to take advantage of the situation to protect themselves, so that the Queen Mother knew the difficulties and retreated."
Zhu Bulang was slightly worried, "Our Lady is a woman's family, and the amount may not be large, so it's hard to say whether your bluff works or not." If she is in a hurry, it is even more difficult to say. ”
Li You gritted his teeth and said: "Since entering Beijing, there have been many incidents, and so far I can't sit on the seat, sleep on the pillow, and my official position is unstable. I can't bear it anymore, and this time I have to break the game! No matter how bad it is, I can only entrust Mr. Fanghe to say a few good words to the Son of Heaven. ”
After Zhu Bulang said goodbye, Li You was about to move forward, when suddenly a middle-aged woman flashed out of the square gate of Chang'an to stop him, and he looked at Wang Yannu, the trusted housekeeper of the eldest princess of Guide.
Wang Yannu didn't say hello either, and said directly: "The Lord of Guide Chitose ordered me to pass on the word, Lord Li, you deliberately provoked the Holy Mother, beware of playing with fire and self-immolation." ”
Li You secretly smiled bitterly, when the eldest princess of Guide acted as a bystander, she was always so shrewd and sharp, and she actually half-judged his purpose with just a few words.
On August 25, early in the morning, Xu Shizi came to the Metropolitan Procuratorate to pass the hall. If he didn't come today, it was hard to imagine what the consequences would be, Li You's actions were too difficult for him to guess, and he felt a little scared.
Of course, Xu Shizi also has his own confidence in going to the Metropolitan Procuratorate. He was not a noble person and was not a human prisoner, so he could not be tortured, and second, he could not be imprisoned without authorization, and he could only be summoned for questioning. As long as he doesn't say a word, what can the trial officials do?
Boom! Li You slapped the case hard, and shouted at the prince standing in the door: "The previous criminal has already confessed, and Wei Guogong trafficked residual salt even earlier than him, he is really the mastermind, do you know about this?" ”
Xu Shizi only arched his hand and said, "Father and son are hidden." In addition, it was like Xu Shu entering Cao Ying, and he didn't say a word.
He realized that the best way to deal with Li You was to pretend to be deaf and dumb, and both admit and deny were handles.
Li You asked a few more questions, but Xu Shizi never answered. In fact, this was also expected by Master Li, he called the messenger and instructed: "For the time being, take the prince to the wing room to rest and meditate, when the prince understands it, come to see the official again." ”
Xu Shizi was taken to the next room, only to see that except for the Taishi chair, the rest were empty, and there was no use. …,
Sitting in the room, extremely boring and boring, Xu Shizi calmed down and closed his eyes to recuperate. Finally staying up until noon, he couldn't sit still, raised his feet to go out, but saw the messenger at the door stop and asked, "Where is the little grandfather going?" ”
Xu Shizi glared at the messenger and scolded: "Only when a thief kills does he dare to imprison me? ”
The officer shrunk his neck in fright, and replied worriedly: "Li Baixian has said first, this interrogation has not yet ended, if the little grandfather leaves, he will escape for no reason, and he will be like a criminal." ”
Xu Shizi pondered for a moment, gritted his teeth and returned to the room to sit down. This boil has passed for a long time, and I see the sun heading west.
But an errand opened the door and called: "My courtyard is going to be closed and locked, let the little grandfather go!" ”
Xu Shizi is indeed not a prisoner of the Heavenly Prison, and like other idle people, he must be driven out of the Metropolitan Procuratorate before he is locked, and of course he cannot stay overnight.
The hungry Xu Shizi showed a few hints of the victor's contemptuous smile, and was about to go out, but the messenger handed him a document again, "This is a summons signed by Li Baixian today, please continue to go to the Metropolitan Procuratorate tomorrow morning to hear the hearing." ”
Bastard thing! Xu Shizi scolded again and again in his heart, Li You planned to send a poster every day, and asked him to come to the Metropolitan Procuratorate to sit on the Taishi chair every day? What is the difference between this and house arrest? It's just a house arrest with a wind at night!
But Xu Shizi returned to the mansion and listened to the advice of his staff, so he followed the example of the king of Nayue and tried his courage, and since then he has been reporting to the Metropolitan Procuratorate every day.
The whole Metropolitan Procuratorate was surprised and inexplicable, this Li Baixian took over the Lianghuai Yuyan case, ignored the existing people, and did not start with Jian Jin, but competed with the prince of the country every day to grind the water mill, which seemed very unreasonable.
In fact, Master Li's mind is not on the case for the time being. Of course, the Lianghuai Yuyan case must be handled, but it is not handled now.
It is necessary to know that politics is in charge, and the handling of cases by the country and the DPRK, especially major cases, must be based on political timing. The most ideal time to solve the case in Lord Li's mind is far from coming, and it should be delayed a little longer. Anyway, it's been dragging on for three months, and I don't care if it continues to drag on for ten days and a half months.
As for the detention of Mi Shizi, it is just to contain him so as not to have an accident, or rather, the use value of Xu Shizi is just this name. After Li You threw out the golden signboard of the prince of Wei Guogong, he had little interest in Xu Shizi himself.
In the past few days, there has been a sudden turmoil in the DPRK and China, and the situation has generally developed according to the path predicted by Li You. He must keep an eye on the situation and take action, and he must not be negligent, this is the big thing.
It also starts with the fifth day of August 2. The Empress Dowager Qian had already moved to Xiyuan to live, and the cabinet submitted the "Statements of both parties on the matter of Li You's beating of Xun Qi" to the Empress Dowager early in the morning.
In fact, it doesn't matter what the statement says, the important thing is this process, Empress Dowager Qian needs to remove Li You through a reasonable procedure, and then get the right envoy of the school in hand.
Looking at Li You's rhetoric, Empress Dowager Qian was slightly surprised, if rumors that were unfavorable to the Xun Qi side were flying all over the sky, only punishing Li You would not be able to convince the public. The most important thing is that Empress Dowager Qian can't be sure whether these rumors are true or false...
But then Empress Dowager Qian was disdainful, and she lowered her strength to ten meetings, what is a little rhetoric, Li You's dying struggle. No matter how Li You adds color to himself, he will always make a move, and he can just hold on to this.
Mai Chengen, who was standing on the side, said cautiously: "I heard that Li You is in the Metropolitan Procuratorate and took over the trial of the Lianghuai salt case. ”
What the? Empress Dowager Qian was taken aback, there was some trouble at this time, if Li You took over this sensitive case partner, then the sudden dismissal of Li You's official was only afraid that it would attract great criticism, especially when it involved Wei Guogong. …,
Is it worth the criticism? Empress Dowager Qian couldn't think clearly for a while.
Mai Chengen continued: "Li You sent a poster to the prince of Wei in the Eastern Dynasty Room yesterday, ordering him to go to the Metropolitan Procuratorate for questioning today. ”
Empress Dowager Qian gradually became angry, and in the past two or three months, she has released rumors in different ways that she wants to reuse Wei Guogong. The positions have been reserved, and now Wei Guocheng is on the way to Beijing with him.
If it weren't for the fact that Wei Guogong was not as good at getting rid of fruits as Jin Million, she would have issued an edict to declare that she would not be guilty of Wei Guogong's past.
If it is said that Wei Guogong was forced to traffic illicit salt, then someone must believe it.
Unexpectedly, the Metropolitan Procuratorate transferred the case to Li You so quickly, which made Empress Dowager Qian secretly vigilant. This Li Youcai accepted the case, so he couldn't wait to ask the prince of Wei Guogong, what did he want? Does he want to take the opportunity to rectify the national government? Is he demonstrating to himself?
The more she thought about it, the more annoyed she became, and Empress Dowager Qian immediately issued an order: "Go to the Imperial Court to pass the decree and summon the prince of Wei to come here!" ”
An hour later, he was rewarded by the internal supervisor, "Li Baixian of the Metropolitan Procuratorate refused to release him." ”
Empress Dowager Qian was furious, is this Li You really deliberately provocative? Did he really think he would be afraid of this errand and dare not touch him? He thinks too highly of himself!
Immediately, Empress Dowager Qian made a decision to strip Li You of his errand first, and then dismiss him. He also summoned Xu Shoufu and instructed: "The case of Lianghuai Yuyan has attracted the attention of the government and the opposition, and it is an important matter, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate Committee and Li You are suspicious. Tomorrow, the cabinet will discuss it with Jiuqing, and quickly report back the discussion. ”
Empress Dowager Qian's idea is very simple, she only needs a statement that "Li You is not suitable", no matter who says it, so that she can use the topic to play.
Xu Shoufu returned to the cabinet, and hurriedly asked the Zhongshu people to write a post, and sent it to the six ministries, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the General Political Division, and the Dali Temple to meet and meet in the early morning tomorrow morning. According to tradition, the cabinet meets with the foreign court, and the place is also at the court room outside the noon gate.
And the next day, the four scholars in the cabinet and the Jiuqing of the outer dynasty met in the east court, the meeting was presided over by Xu Shoufu, he coughed, and repeated the instructions of the Empress Dowager Qian.
Not to mention the Jiuqing of the Foreign Dynasty, what do the five scholars who played a leading role think?
Shoufu Xu Ge Lao witnessed the scene of Li You dealing with Xu Shizi, and he thought that Li You was bound to chase and beat Wei Guogong in order to keep his official position, which belonged to Li You's "political correctness!" ”
In other words, if Li You does not put himself in this position where he can rebound, then he will be in danger under the pressure of Empress Dowager Qian.
Xu Shoufu knew that this would be good for him, and if Wei Guogong took the main responsibility, his fellow disciple Ding Qianyun could exonerate and reduce the crime. Secondly, if Li You can succeed, he can also deal a blow to the forces of Xun Qi, and there is no harm to the cabinet.
You must know that the cabinet is responsible for the central government's orders, and the foreign court is responsible for specific governance, which is the difference between decision-making and affairs. If the forces of the honorable relatives enter the DPRK in a big way, then the main thing they will seize is the right to speak in decision-making, so they will have the greatest conflict with the cabinet.
Among the four cabinet scholars present, Peng Ge, who was second only to Shoufu, was the one he hated the most. Because of Li You, his four sons were assigned to the border, and because of Li You, he himself lost the opportunity to be the first assistant, or because of Li You, he lost his right to speak in the court. The piles and piles are all memorized.
With his original intention, it was good to send Li You into the eighteenth layer of hell and not be able to turn over, but after Xu Shoufu's persuasion, he suppressed his thoughts of revenge and remained silent at the meeting.
In fact, this does not mean that Peng Ge Lao intends to let Li You go like this, he clearly judged that Li You is currently forced by the situation to be the vanguard of this anti-Xun noble, so as to take advantage of the situation to protect himself. …,
Peng Ge Lao used his 68 years of life experience to come to a conclusion that this kind of avant-garde role is often doomed to a tragic end in the end and becomes cannon fodder for political compromise.
For Xungui's understanding, he is about the same as Lu Laoshangshu's profoundness. As long as there is still the Son of Heaven above, it is impossible for Xungui and Wenchen to completely collapse, and they must gradually compromise. The conflict before the compromise is only about drawing the boundaries of power.
When it was time to compromise, he didn't mind pushing Li You with a black hand, and let Li You, who was in the limelight, become a victim of that. At this stage, it should be regarded as luring the snake out of the hole!
Needless to say, the attitude of Yang Ge, a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion University, would not object to Li You taking charge of an important errand, thinking that this was an internal matter of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and it was a little inappropriate for the outside world to point fingers.
The elder of the East Pavilion University is even more relaxed, the hot potato of the Lianghuai Yuyan case was originally thrown to Li You by his own left capital, Yu Shi Jiang Xinyue, and of course the elder of the Golden Pavilion will not object to Li You continuing to be in charge of this matter.
Again, they are really motionless now, as long as they don't care about themselves and hang high, everything will be discussed after the leader of the faction, Yuan Ge, returns to Beijing.
In recent years, Yuan Gelao, a scholar of Wenhuadian University, has always served as the secretary of the Jingjing feast, responsible for organizing the sutra feast of the Son of Heaven and the daily lectures, and only when he scolded Li You at the sutra banquet was he suspended for three days.
Therefore, Yuan Ge Lao can be called the closest bachelor to the Son of Heaven, as long as he stabilizes his position, he can naturally take over as the second assistant, and as for the rest, let others mess up. If Li You does not accept this case, then it is very likely that Zuodu Yushi Jiang Xinyue will personally try it.
In the end, the four scholars agreed to Li You's trial of the Lianghuai Yuyan case, and the rest of Jiuqing would not oppose it. Originally, this errand had nothing to do with most of the yamen, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate had the right to give up its own rights.
What's more noteworthy is that if you say a few more words, you are afraid that you will make Jiang Zuodu Yushi unhappy, and there is really no need to offend your colleagues here.
The result of the meeting can be imagined, a harmonious atmosphere, and there is no objection from all.
When the news came out, all inside and outside the court were amazed, and they unanimously agreed that this meeting was the strangest meeting in recent years. This is really surprising that all the scholars actually agreed on one thing collectively, especially Li You's matter.
Empress Dowager Qian was also extremely surprised, and after the surprise was anger, at this time she felt that she had been provoked repeatedly, her face was very gloomy, and at the same time she was completely disappointed in the cabinet.
She was no longer interested in accompanying the civil officials to play the process, and sent the eunuch Mai Chengen, the master of ceremonies, and the eunuch said: "Give an order directly!" Remove Li You's inspection of the right imperial envoy position! ”
This decree bypassed the cabinet and was sent directly to the six sections, forcing them to be issued. After seeing the holy decree, he hurriedly sent a letter to Li You while temporarily pressing the holy decree in the department. PS: Strive for a big chapter, ask for a monthly pass! There may be a little time tomorrow, and the more monthly passes, the more power the codeword! )
