Li You was about to go out, when suddenly Lu Shangshu from the Ministry of War sent someone to summon him to meet him.

It turned out that last night, Li You was really sent to Lu Mansion by the night patrol sergeant, but Lu Shangshu had already rested, of course it was not easy to wake up.

In order to express his gratitude, Li You explained the matter to the doorman on duty at night in Lufu, and asked the doorman to write down the name of the night guard captain, and then report the name to Lu Shangshu. It was probably because Lu Shangshu heard the report from the door official this morning, so he wanted to call him over to inquire about the situation carefully.

Li You's mansion and Lu Mansion are in the same square, not far from each other, and he immediately went to meet Lao Shangshu. After entering the Lu Mansion, he apologized and said: "For the younger generation, I have mistaken the boss for these things, and I am guilty of sin." ”

Lu Shangshu asked, "What's going on with the night?" ”

Li You told the cause and effect that there was nothing to hide from the old Shangshu, and if there was any trouble, he had to rely on the old-timers to speak.

Hearing that Xun Fei, the commander of the Zhongcheng Soldiers and Horses Division, was actually drunk and insulted Li You and moved his hands and feet, Lao Shangshu frowned and said, "Then the Xun family child dares to humiliate you like this?" If this is the case, not being strong is not enough to save face. ”

"The younger generation is really helpless, when he first entered the city, he can't lose his face, and he really doesn't have the strength to endure the humiliation of his crotch!" Li You said indignantly.

To be honest, Li You was originally entangled in his position, both as a civil official and as a successor.

The current situation is obvious, the Queen Mother wants to promote the nobles, and the Son of Heaven, who is about to take the government, also acquiesces to this. In this case, he had to enter the Jingshi for his own future, but he didn't know how to stand in line.

Before, I still had the idea of not offending twice, or riding on the wall on both sides to please me. But judging from the situation last night, the noble circle did not recognize himself at all, and he was really a little self-inflicted.

Politics only recognizes strength, and who cares how you stand in line without strength? With strength, no one has to tie up, and those princes see the scholars and monks, don't they have to lower their bodies and make friends?

Beating Commander Xun, in addition to venting his emotions, is not only to strengthen his determination, but also a strong expression of his political position. If public opinion is manipulated well, civil officials dare to beat the nobles, just like a Li Mengyang-style upright person who is not afraid of power.

Lu Shangshu said: "This matter can be big or small, and wait and see what happens." But in this situation, anything can be big. ”

Li You said angrily: "The younger generation has a clear conscience, why be afraid!" ”

This matter is small and worry-free, happy and relaxed, it is good to make a big trouble, it is best to sit in prison for a few days, and it will not be so famous for cutting off the head It is Qingliu Capital, and the court staff is too painful. I'm afraid that it will make a lot of trouble, and it will only be seen as a joke about young people fighting.

In the end, this matter still went to the Cisheng Palace...

Empress Dowager Qian likes to reminisce about the past recently, although she is actually only over forty years old, and she is not yet old. However, when she looked back, she found that the past ten years seemed to be her most fulfilling decade. As for the future, it can only be retired and wait for death.

After breakfast, Empress Dowager Qian felt bored in the palace and ordered to drive the West Garden. At this time, the inner supervisor came to report that Wu Anbo asked to see him outside the noon gate.

This Wu Anbo has a marital relationship with the Qian Qin family of Xinning Marquis, so he is also a relative of the Empress Dowager Qian. These nobles in Beijing City are married to each other, and they may be related to whom.

Empress Dowager Qian had nothing to do right now, so she stopped driving and summoned Wu Anbo to meet her.

Wu Anbo entered the hall to see the salute, but his face was sad and made Empress Dowager Qian strange, so he asked: "What is on your mind?" ”

"I also want to ask Our Lady to be the master of the courtier's family!" Wu Anbo took the opportunity to play.

Empress Dowager Qian thought for a while, and vaguely remembered that the second son of the Wu Anbo family seemed to be gracious to the commander of the Soldiers and Horses, "What the hell is going on?" Your own family doesn't have to swallow. ”…,

"Xun Fei, the second son of the minister, is now the commander of the Zhongcheng Soldiers and Horses, and last night he met Li You, the imperial envoy of the right side of the school, and had a quarrel. But that Li You was arrogant and unreasonable, and beat Xun Fei into a seriously injured coma, and now the dog is full of sores, and the situation is really pitiful! After Li You committed the murder, no one dared to take care of the yamen, so the minister had to give up this old face and ask the Holy Mother to be the master of the dog! ”

If Li You was here, he would have exclaimed a few times, he really didn't know that Wu Anbo was related to the Qian family, otherwise he would have to think twice before beating Xun Fei.

Wu Anbo entered the palace to complain to the Queen Mother, mainly for two reasons. One is that this matter is both a loss of face and a loss of heart, and he doesn't want to get it back, where will he put Wu Anbo's old face?

The second is that if this matter spreads, if it is used to make a fuss after attracting the attention of people with intentions, his son's official position as the commander of the soldiers and horses in Zhongcheng will be unstable. Therefore, it is necessary to preemptively ask the queen mother to determine her sex, and she will not be afraid of others using it to make waves in the future.

Sure enough, Wu Anbo's performance attracted the attention of Empress Dowager Qian, but it was not because of the fight.

Empress Dowager Qian grew up in Suzhou Mansion since she was a child, and she knew that Jiangnan scholars were reckless and reckless, and Li You's actions were actually nothing, and he couldn't get into the eyes of the Queen Mother. What Empress Dowager Qian really noticed was that Wu Anbo called "the right to inspect the imperial history of the school" Li You...

I have to say that Li You has become an obsession in her old man's heart. Empress Dowager Qian asked with a little doubt: "Li You has already been dismissed, where did he come from to inspect the right envoy of the school?" ”

Wu Anbo didn't understand why the Queen Mother asked about this, "How can Li You say that he is dismissed?" ”

Everyone in the foreign court knows about this matter, but the Empress Dowager Qian, who lives in the deep palace, doesn't know...

Immediately, Empress Dowager Qian only felt that the nameless anger was about to surge, and she didn't know what was wrong. She scolded left and right: "Hurry up and summon the head of the bureaucracy!" Come here now, don't make a mistake! ”

The official department, one of the six branches, the six departments are the departments in the science and road, and they are also the key departments in the center. After the cabinet drafts the edict, it must first be sent to the six departments, and the six departments can be verified and registered for the record before they can be assigned to the six departments. After the six parts are handled, they must be cancelled to the six departments again.

Therefore, if Empress Dowager Qian wanted to investigate the implementation of the dismissal of Li You's edict, she had to urgently summon the head of the official department to see her.

The Sixth Branch Office is also in the inner court, located in the southwest corner of the palace, not far from the Cisheng Palace. After a short time, he saw Wang Wenxu hurriedly entering the hall and saying: "The decree of the dismissal of Li You, the official department has been repeated, then Li You has already received the decree, and the commander of the army and horses has been dismissed, and moved to the Metropolitan Procuratorate." ”

After hearing this, Empress Dowager Qian's thoughts were similar to those of Guide Chitose, but the cabinet dared to be pretentious! He shouted to the left and right, "Summoning Shousuke!" ”

After waiting for less than a quarter of an hour, Xu Shoufu also hurriedly entered the hall and brought Li You's resignation and Zhu Pi originally.

Empress Dowager Qian reopened Li You's song, read it carefully, and threw it to the ground, this Li You was playing word games in the song! It's not a resignation at all!

Xu Shoufu was inexplicable by the Queen Mother's actions. The situation is very clear, Li You resigned in a pretend, and your old man pushed the boat to play smoothly, although you handled it very unprofessionally, but it was excusable, and the cabinet did not seal it. But right now, what kind of fire is your old man? It's unpredictable.

Who can be blamed for this? Empress Dowager Qian remembered that Mai Chengen resigned one by one that day, misleading her, and the responsibility must be on Mai Chengen.

But Mai Chengen was single-handedly pushed by her boss to hold the position of eunuch, and she has only been in office for more than ten days, if this matter spreads, I am afraid that it will be true and shake Mai Chengen's position. Before finding out whether Mak Chengen was intentional or unintentional, he can't mess with himself first.

..., after thinking about it, Empress Dowager Qian found that she could only acquiesce to the accident. But admitting the accident does not mean admitting to Li You, what is the matter if only half of the official is exempted?

On the one hand, she really didn't want Li You to dangle as a palace official. On the other hand, she is considering the new candidate for the right envoy of the inspection school and the governor of the five cities, but now she knows that the official title of the right envoy of the inspection school is still occupied by Li You's shameless death, how can she appoint a new person?

It is necessary to know that in the five cities, the imperial history of the patrol city and the division of soldiers and horses coexist, and without the rank of the imperial envoy of the right of the inspection school, you will not be able to manage the imperial history of the patrol city.

It is true that the imperial history with the prefix on the right can appoint many people to assign each other, but if Li You is idle in the Imperial Court and appoints another one, this is to add redundancy for no reason, and if he says it, he will be caught by the civil officials and refute it.

At this time, another chapter was submitted, and the Empress Dowager Qian had read it, which was a joint note by the prince of Wei and several others, and the main content was naturally the impeachment of Li You.

Then Qian Dahou issued an edict: "Xu first sue the edict!" ”

There was an internal supervisor brought to the table, and Xu Shoufu stood in front of the table, holding a pen to listen to the will of the Empress Dowager Qian.

This is the reason why scholars should come out of the scholars of Hanlin literature, otherwise they can only be blind when encountering such an occasion.

Soon Empress Dowager Qian pointed out the theme of the holy decree: "Recall Li Youjian from the right side of the imperial history, and the officials will listen to the election." ”

Xu Shoufu's heart tightened, Li You really angered the Queen Mother, and he actually wanted to dismiss him directly.

Can the Empress Dowager Bingzheng or the Son of Heaven directly issue an order to dismiss the official? Of course, it is legally possible, but in practice it is a game, and it is a game with complex rules.

The ability of the strong and weak emperors to enforce their own will is naturally different, but generally speaking, the dismissal of officials in three situations is relatively easy, and the courtiers can only accept it. The first is that the official position of the dismissed official was obtained from the simple promotion of the Son of Heaven, the second is that the dismissed official made an obvious big mistake, and the third is that the dismissed official took the initiative to resign from the office.

In other words, everything must have a cause and effect, and it can also be said that there must be a fig leaf. If you are like the Empress Dowager Qian right now, if she issues an edict to seize other people's official positions for no reason, it is a matter of being a monarch and relying only on your own personal preferences. As a courtier, in the face of this situation, especially when encountering a relatively weak Son of Heaven, he has the responsibility to advise.

Xu Shoufu didn't have a good impression of Li You, and he couldn't speak for Li You. But standing in this position, there are some things that have to be said, and the four words of aiding and abetting are not so easy to bear. He hesitated for a moment and asked very entangledly, "What is Li You's charge?" ”

"Fighting in the street with others, how can it be Fengxian!" Empress Dowager Qian said. She also knew that it would cause Wen'an's resistance, so she left room for only an edict to go to the imperial envoy of the right side of the school, and let Li You go to the ministry again to elect officials.

Xu Shoufu sighed secretly, the Queen Mother was in too much of a hurry, and she looked ugly. He didn't even do superficial articles, it was so unprofessional that he couldn't do it. Half exhortation, half reminding: "Just relying on one-sided words, arbitrarily punishing ministers, this is not the way of a human king!" "PS: This is to make up for last night! Li You's tangled period is about to pass! ）
