After seeing Guide Chitose and being forced to agree to be a lobbyist, Li You returned to the cabinet. In fact, it was not entirely forced, Lord Li was also thinking about asking the eldest princess to come forward to avoid the drudgery of reading books by herself.

The rules for entering the inner court are to enter at the time of the hour and exit at the time of the application, and it is really not good for Li You to leave in advance at will when he first arrives. What's more, the eldest princess also has a bunch of palace affairs to deal with, so she can only agree to leave the palace when her head is west.

At this time, the dining house was empty and there was no one else, and the hungry Li You found a few bowls of rice to eat, and then went to his own hut in the East Pavilion Beiyu to eat and nap.

Today is his first time in office, and there is no need for a director. You have to be familiar with the situation first, feel the depth of the water, and don't have to do that impatient.

"Lord Li, don't you go to pay a visit to the elders?" Suddenly, someone asked under the porch outside the door.

Li You raised his eyes, but it was the guide who led him in the morning, who seemed to be surnamed Qin, and he was also a member of the Zhongshu House. He smiled and said, "Thank you Brother Qin for your concern." At the end of the lower district, it is insignificant, and if you dare to disturb the princes of the country, you can only be diligent in the king's affairs to repay the king's kindness. ”

The Qin Sheren also sold well this time, but unexpectedly came up with such an answer, this new colleague doesn't seem to have the intention of climbing the pavilion elder, is it no one in his eyes or is the artist bold?

Now there are four scholars sitting in the Wenyuan Pavilion, and after Li You thinks about it, he doesn't plan to take the initiative to meet them. Because as his knowledge broadened, he had some new insights over the years, and he had a deeper understanding of his position.

Although there are intertwined and complicated situations inside and outside the court, such as the Queen Mother, the Son of Heaven, the Inner Court, and the Outer Court, as the Son of Heaven grows up in the past two years, it has indeed reached a critical point in the distribution of power, and no one can see through the chaotic situation. So much so that the murder case of the prisoner has not been thoroughly investigated until now.

But in the subplot of adding a sub-plot of the sub-vote book, if you still can't see the context clearly, then Lord Li should go back to Xujiang County as soon as possible to be a rural tyrant who doesn't care about the world.

In recent years, the cabinet ministers have been assisted by the edict of the previous emperor, one because the son of heaven is young, and the other is because the queen mother is not rightly in power, and the power of the cabinet has gradually increased. This time, the inner palace and the outer court unanimously agreed to set up a book of votes, first the queen mother issued an edict, and then there were officials to select officials as quickly as possible.

Xu Shangshu and the eldest princess grabbed the position, but it was just a small detail of competing for dominance in this general direction. If it weren't for Li You's use of a small trick similar to fishing law enforcement against Lin Yuma, and gently and appropriately touching the seven inches of Guide Chitose, I am afraid that he would still be in a stalemate now.

With this background factor, Master Li, who knows why he was able to ascend to the throne smoothly, has reason to think that he is a special one, and he must show a little different atmosphere. How can the scholars in the direct edict room and the division of votes be equated with those who are called officials but actually evolve into the attachés of the old officials of the cabinet?

Although the cabinet ministers are almost prime ministers in people's mouths, at least in the Ming official system, the cabinet is only a place to do things and not an official yamen, in other words, a geographical term rather than a political word.

Therefore, nominally, the elder of the university can only be regarded as an auxiliary minister of the Son of Heaven, not a party chief, and the so-called prime minister is actually but has no name of prime minister, and many times depends on personal prestige and political situation.

If Li You thinks of himself as a little higher, he can also boast about it, the scholars of the palace are into the Zhiwen Yuan Pavilion, and he Li You is into the Zhiwen Yuan Pavilion, and he Li You is in the Zhiyu Mansion. The names are all ministers who assist the Son of Heaven, and there are high and low statuses, but there is no subordinate relationship between them.

In addition to the origin, from the aspect of the way out, ordinary two-house people are recommended and promoted by the cabinet elders according to the convention, so they will evolve into subordinate officials, but Li You can not rely on this.

Besides, it's hard to hear, even if Lord Li pulls down his face and sells himself to seek glory and defects to the eldest princess of Guide, it is more reliable than these pavilion elders who are competing for the top spot.

As soon as he sent off the Qin Sheren, and saw the supervisor in the clerical room of the celebrant holding some chapters to the corridor to ask for instructions, Li You couldn't help but exercise the power of the **, and asked, "How did you deal with it before?" ”

The inner supervisor replied: "In the wooden cabinet under the statue of the saint in the lobby of Wenyuan Pavilion, the four pavilion elders do not look at the situation in the cabinet and take turns to extract until the drawing is finished. ”

Hearing this, Li You was speechless, isn't this the way to draw lots, it's really the best. I heard that the officials were forced by various forces to have no choice back then, and they also adopted the method of drawing lots for a period of time, and the officials to be selected were ridiculed for decades, but I didn't expect him to encounter this kind of ridiculous thing today.

"Today it will be as usual, and tomorrow it will be discussed." Li You commanded.

After that, there was nothing else to do, and Master Li was quiet and quiet.

Since the head of the day was slightly slanted westward, the cabinet members have been leaving the cabinet one after another, occasionally mixed with one or two scholars. But the eldest princess did not send a message, so Li You had to continue to sit in the house and wait for news.

Gradually, everyone was gone, and there were only two people left in the entire cabinet. One is Li You, and the other should be one of the four scholars, the prince Taibao, the head of the household and the scholar of the East Pavilion University, Yang Ge Lao, after the lecture in the Wenhua Palace, Zhu Fanghe pointed out to Li You.

Yang Ge Lao, who was of medium stature and appearance, slowly walked under the porch of the door of the north of the East Pavilion, knocked on the door frame, and woke up Li You, who was napping.

Although Master Li didn't think about how to talk to the elder, but if the elder took the initiative to come to the door, there should still be etiquette. He hurriedly got up and was about to kneel.

Elder Yang Ge stopped Li You and asked, "If you want to see each other often in the future, there is no need for red tape." It's okay today, why can't Li Sheren stay? ”

Li You replied: "I have an appointment with others, I want to wait a little longer, I don't want to alarm the elder of the pavilion." ”

Yang Ge smiled and quipped: "If you don't leave, the old man can't leave, so he can only accompany you and wait." ”

Originally, the cabinet was a central secret place, and the cabinet door had to be locked every night, and all the scholars had a key in their hands, and whoever had urgent business at night would come and open the door to handle it.

In Changli, the scholars took turns to lock the door, and every day they ensured that there was one who left the cabinet last and locked it, and today it was Yang Ge's turn. So Li You didn't leave, and Yang Ge Lao could only wait together. Master Li was a newcomer, and he didn't think of this rule for a while, otherwise he wouldn't be so blind.

"The lower officials didn't notice it for a while, and delayed the old man's trip, which is a big sin for the lower officials." After figuring out the situation, Li Youlian apologized.

"It's okay, the old man has nothing else to do."

Pavilion Elder said this, of course Li You couldn't listen to it like this, turned around and closed the door of the room, and walked out of the cabinet with Yang Pavilion Elder on foot.

Yang Ge Lao... Yang Ge Lao... Li You suddenly felt that this person was very familiar, as if he had known him for a long time.

kept thinking about it, and when he walked to the pavilion door, Li Youmeng remembered that when he was on an errand in Xujiang County, he often read various newspapers with nothing to do. The Yang who saw the performance of the world inspection from a hereditary military attache to a miscellaneous position, first Yang Shangshu, and later became Yang Ge Lao, is it the one in front of him?

At that time, in the eyes of Li Dianshi, Mr. Yang was just an unreachable symbol of power on the newspaper, and it was probably impossible to have any direct connection in this life, but now he has become a big living person who really appears in front of him.

If the biggest giant who pushes the wheel of history in this book is selected, others don't know how to choose, but Li You himself will definitely vote for Boss Yang sincerely.

If he hadn't carried out the inspection and reassignment, I am afraid that Lord Li would still be firmly imprisoned in Xishui Town, Xujiang County, so how big a difference would it be if he was not inspected? The ancestral system is not so easy to break through.

It was precisely because of the change of martial arts to literature that Li had the opportunity to get out of the cage, and because of the wind, he mixed into the mainstream of officialdom, stood in the palace, and met the initiator.

Fate... Filled with the wonder of this kind of encounter, Li You looked at Boss Yang more and more kindly. The ghost made the gods, the ghost was confused, stretched out his hand and patted the shoulder of the crown prince Taibao and the head of the household department and the scholar of the East Pavilion University, and almost said: Hello, are you okay?

Scholar Yang was so stunned for a moment that he didn't react... After that, Li Sheren was also dumbfounded on the spot, and he couldn't wait to chop off his trouble-causing hand. Thanks to his quick reaction, he saluted and said, "It's not rude!" Just remembered the great kindness of the elder of the pavilion, and couldn't help but have thoughts of admiration for a while! There is no place to be ashamed, and the old man of Wanwang Pavilion is forgiving. ”

There wasn't even a single eyewitness, and no one believed it... Scholar Yang came back to his senses from his astonishment, and when he heard Li You's words of great kindness, he asked strangely, "What kindness?" The old man should have never seen you, where does Ende start? ”

Li You replied affectionately: "Xiaguan was originally a Suzhou inspector, although he was interested in education, he didn't have his ambition, and he thought that he would die of depression. I don't want the boss to carry out inspections and change positions, and he is like a grace of reinvention to his subordinates, how can he not be grateful for it? Today, when I finally see the face of Engong, I remember the past, and I can't control my heart with agitation, so that my behavior is rude, and I dare not defend myself for my crimes! ”

I see, it's always a very comfortable thing to be thanked. Yang Ge Lao felt a little proud in his heart, and he looked at Li You much more pleasing to the eye. And being so excited that he lost his temper is enough to show that Li Sheren really remembered these things in his heart, and he was not a merciless person, so it was quite forgivable.

But the old man also admonished: "Now that you have entered the Zhida, you should be careful in your words and deeds, and you will not be so careless in the future." ”

"Thank you for your teachings." Li You said honestly.

Elder Yang Ge nodded, patted Li You on the shoulder in retaliation, and kept heading west. The Cabinet University Scholar is in accordance with Yulong, and when he is not in the court, he is allowed to enter and exit from Xihua Gate, and he does not have to take a detour to the Wumen Gate.

Li You let out a long breath and wiped the sweat drops on his forehead, why can't he always get rid of the problem of being out of shape?

He remembered the agreement with the eldest princess, and no one came to deliver the news until now, so he took the initiative to walk along the road he had walked at noon, bypassing the Wenhua Hall and walking north.

It's a pity that when I arrived at the Huiyin Gate in the northwest direction of the Wenhua Palace, I was stopped by the gatekeeper, and Lord Li's tooth card was not used here, so I couldn't pass through this gate.

Then wait here, Li You is going around in circles outside the Huiyin Gate. By the way, in the courtyard along the city wall in the east of this neighborhood, there is a famous historical site of the celebrant of ceremonies, so that Lord Li admired it from afar.
