The layman looks at the excitement, and he only cares about envy and jealousy of how arrogant Master Li will be in the future; Insiders look at the door, and many people think of the boiling matter of the joint impeachment of Li You by the three families of Yancao Mansion last month.

Among these three, now that the Luo Governor's Mansion has risen first and then declined, it has actually become a bright rise and a secret fall, Ding Yunenvoy has been reprimanded for self-reflection and forbidden to meddle in local political affairs, so what will happen to Gu Shanhe, the head of the Guazhou Warehouse?

Everyone couldn't help but move their eyes to Master Gu, only to see that he had obviously thought of something, and his face was already pale.

Sure enough, Zhu Fanghe continued to proclaim the edict: "The owner of Guazhou Cang has added loss without authorization, framed the place, acted under duress, and sent Qin to inquire about it, and truthfully dismissed him from his post and brought him to Beijing to be convicted. ”

Everyone sighed, it doesn't matter who is right and who is wrong here, what is the big deal with adding a little loss? But the important thing is that Gu is too self-conscious, and a mere seven-rank warehouse official who has no quality will also be involved in the battle of the palace city, and it is also self-inflicted to be sacrificed by the imperial court in order to calm the situation.

Gu Shanhe suddenly turned his head sideways to look at Ding Yun's envoy, he was also tempted by Ding Yun's envoy to participate, but Ding Yun's envoy was like an old monk, how could he still take care of him.

Ding Yun's envoy is not a cold and ruthless person, otherwise Yangzhou is located in a key position, and there are many officials passing by from the south to the north like a carp crossing the river, and none of the people who have been entertained by Ding Yun's envoy say that he is not good.

It's just that Lord Ding has his own way in Beijing, and he can write a few letters to rescue Gu when he turns around, after all, Gu has not committed any serious crimes that hurt nature and reason. But at this time, in front of the Qin Cha, he couldn't say anything openly.

Zhu Fanghe said to Li You again: "Borrow your county prison to use it." Li You naturally had no objection.

The meeting of Yangzhou Pingshan Hall of Jinghe Winter Solstice Festival in the eighth year came to an end. As most of the people in attendance thought, it was not a grand event, but it became a miracle.

From today onwards, in Yangzhou City, one of the top five metropolises in the world, it is very rare for the Salt Transportation Division and the government to be on the side, and the pattern has completely changed.

Of course, it's all because of the strongman, if there is no Li You, who has a strong personality, this abnormal mutation situation will not be formed.

However, in the long river of history, this meeting of Pingshantang should be obscure and completely disappear from memory. From the perspective of the emperor and the general, the power change in Yangzhou City is just an event that cannot even be called the smallest wave, and the local chronicles will not record it.

But to Ho's surprise, the failed party he organized was remembered in the literary history of later generations.

Hundreds of years after this time and space to study the poetry and art of the beginning and the years, probably always mention these sentences, the outstanding poet Li You since he came to Yangzhou as a magistrate, and during the period he undertook the heavy responsibility of fighting floods in Sizhou, he has a deeper feeling for the livelihood of the people at the bottom. Taking the meeting of the Pingshan Hall of the Winter Solstice Festival in Jinghe 8th as the demarcation point, his poetic style shifted from romanticism to both romanticism and realism...

Li You still returned to the city on the same boat with Jin Million, and read and read the reward book in the cabin, which was really hard-won. There was Yang Futai to intercept it before, and then there were three sneak attacks in Yangzhou, and it took several twists and turns to get it, but fortunately, the final result was good.

He also reminded himself that he would go to the county mansion tomorrow to get back the gold book and iron coupons and bullfighting clothes

Jin Million thought about it, as if he had a new understanding of his son-in-law.

In the context of the Son of Heaven's imminent southern tour, important places along the way naturally had to be entrusted to reliable people. This reliability is not only reliable character, but also reliable work. At this time, the exclusion of others to give Jiangdu County to Li You means that Li You is deeply trusted by the royal family.

Otherwise, why did Li You rise to the fifth grade, and his own position was the same as that of Yangzhou Mansion, and as a result, he would continue to manage the seven-grade Jiangdu County and the six-grade garrison division? Probably just because Yangzhou City must be an important town for the southern tour of the Son of Heaven, Li You must be nailed here and not moved. ..., Ding Yun's envoy is also unlucky, but he encountered this opportunity, as long as his favor in the palace is not as good as Li You, then he has no chance to turn over before the end of the southern tour of the Son of Heaven, Jin Wan thought.

In fact, Jin Million guessed half correctly, and the other half was because the Queen Mother was unwilling to promote Li You. The atmosphere of the national dynasty is that Beijing officials are precious, and the empress dowager is not willing to transfer Li You back to Beijing, nor does she want to promote him too high, so she simply promotes the grade, and the position remains unchanged.

It is said that after Luo Xingye, who participated in politics and acted as the governor of Sanpin, was forced to cede Jiangdu County, he secretly slandered on the way back to the city that Li You's actions and authority were like the eunuchs who guarded the town back then!

In the past years, since the Xuande Dynasty, there was a tradition of sending eunuchs to check and balance the civil officials in various places, which was the system of guarding the officials, but after the Chongzhen Dynasty, there was basically no such thing as Nanjing, Zhongdu, Xingdu and other places.

Objectively speaking, Lord Li and the lieutenant guard do look very similar on the surface. They all relied on high-level forces to forcibly wedge themselves into the localities, and all local officials at all levels had no choice but to do anything about it, and they all monopolized the rights and obligations of the Son of Heaven, and even the actions of extorting the rich and looting the people's wealth with exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes were very similar.

But the essential difference is that Lord Li is a civil official after all, and his political needs are different from those of the emperor's domestic slaves and eunuchs. In order to brush up his political achievements and reputation, he transferred the extorted wealth to the local middle and lower class people and scholars, and won a blue name.

But Master Li is a special civil official. His background doomed him to be as stable and step-by-step as his fellow Jinshi, so he could only find another way. After profound observation and induction, it can be found that Master Li went from Beijing to the locality, and his official style was extremely eunuch-like.

When he was in the Jingshi cabinet, he played the role of half of the eunuch of the ceremonial supervisor Bingbi, and when he arrived at the place, he was like a eunuch guarding the town, which was not for no reason.

However, it was said that the news reached Yangzhou City, and the restaurants and tea shops in the streets and alleys were lively again in the past two days. The most popular argument is: "Who said they were going to depose Lord Lee?" Now that the Ming monarch is in power, the virtuous ministers are in charge, and the court is looking at the blue sky like Lord Li! ”

The old city Yaqian Street resounded with the earth-shattering sound of firecrackers, and in the congratulations of the people from all over the world, the plaque of "Jiangdu County Bureau" was taken down and replaced with a new system of "Yangzhou Prefecture Tongzhi Branch".

In the mouths of the people, Yangzhou has two mansions, Luo Shenzheng is called the big Taishou, and Li Tongzhi, who is in charge of Jiangdu County, is called the little Taishou. It's just that the Tongzhi branch office is still habitually called the county government in the spoken language of the people.

The new office has a new atmosphere, although Li You is embarrassed to renovate the original county office, but the couplet plaque can be replaced.

Li Tongzhi waved his pen and replaced the couplet in the lobby with "It is not honorable to gain an official, and it is not disgraceful to lose an official; Don't say that one official is useless, the place depends on one official; Eat the food of the people, and wear the clothes of the people; The people of Mo Dao can be deceived, and they are also the people. ”

As for the second hall in the back, it was replaced with "Seeing business in the sound of flowing water, and seeing people in the shadow of the cold mountain." ”

"It's wonderful!" The masters praised this.

To put it bluntly, the couplets are all for others to see. The lobby is a place to try cases and conduct public inspections, and the couplets should be closer to the people; Then the second hall is a private office and a place to meet guests, which can be called a white ding, so the couplet should boast of elegance and show taste. Therefore, it is easy to be an official, but it is not easy to do it well, and countless tiny details must be taken care of.

After changing the couplet, Li You summoned the four masters, and called the county secretary and the main bookkeeper over, and gathered in the back Yahua Hall to discuss matters. The theme of the meeting is "Building a Harmonious New Yangzhou and Welcoming the Southern Tour of the Son of Heaven".

"Qin Cha said, if the money is okay, it is expected that the saint will get married in March next year, and the southern tour will be in April to worship the ancestors." Li Taishou got straight to the point and said: "My Yangzhou is an important place along the way, so before April next year, all official business must revolve around the southern tour." I have some ideas that I want to discuss with you. ..., these people have long been familiar with Lord Li's style, and they are all silent, listening to Lord Li's speech. It's not that they're not active, it's because they all know that if Master Li really asks for advice, the words are probably "what are your good plans" and "how do you think about them".

Once he says that he has some ideas to discuss, it means that he has made up his mind, and he needs to listen to him before adding to them.

Li Youyang said freely: "This official thinks that the top priorities are four things. First of all, the construction of the royal wharf, the royal road, and the palace are necessary to welcome the Son of Heaven.

Second, renovate the city wall, both sides of the Xiaoqinhuai River and several streets, show today's peaceful and prosperous scene, and declare the prosperity of Yangzhou with the intention of the Son of Heaven.

Third, the scenery of Slender West Lake and Shugang should be rebuilt and repaired to entertain the eyes and ears of the Son of Heaven and announce the famous places of Yangzhou;

Fourth, repair the Temple of Literature and the Palace of Learning, and re-establish the Pantheon to unite the heart of the Son of Heaven and proclaim the education of Yangzhou. ”

"The proprietor is wise!" "The Mansion is wise!" Two slapping sounds rang out.

Master Li asked, "What do you think about these four things?" ”

Guo Xiancheng preemptively said: "The people in the east of the city are messy and crowded, so the royal wharf should find another place." Xiaguan felt that it was better to build in the north of the city, one was to be honored in the north, the second was to come from the north, and the third was to have a good scenery in the north of the city, and the waterways were also smooth. ”

Without waiting for others to say anything, Guo Xiancheng continued: "As for the palace, it can be built relying on the Tianning Temple in the north of the city, and one is adjacent to the royal wharf; Second, there is a favorable location, whether you enter the city or go to Slender West Lake, you will have two pennies; Third, the city is densely populated, there is a tax customs in the south of the city, the east of the city is a large wharf, the waterway in the west of the city is not good, and the CCB Palace is not easy, so it is better to put it in the north of the city. ”

"Great idea!" Li You praised.

This Guo Xiancheng is not bad-minded, he definitely came prepared, several masters glanced at each other, and they also came up with ideas-

"From Slender West Lake to Shugang, most of them are rich businessmen's places, and they can be asked to renovate their own gardens, bridges, and pavilions, without the need for a penny of money from the government. Whoever has a good view, they will invite the holy driver to visit, and it will be enough for them to glorify for a lifetime. ”

"Yangzhou is also a place of prosperity since ancient times, which can be imitated by the Suzhou Mansion Sage Temple, bringing together the former sages and heroes, and offering sacrifices at four o'clock, highlighting Yangzhou's humanities."

Hearing this, Li You suddenly raised his hand, "The Panthéon is separated, don't be together." ”

Master Zhuang and the others were slightly flustered, not quite understanding what the proprietor meant. The establishment of the ancestral hall is indeed a good thing that can make a name for itself, and it can gain the reputation of respecting the sages and attaching importance to education.

But the construction of ancestral temples is to spend money, Yangzhou has had so many celebrities, to set up a bunch of ancestral temples cost I don't know how much, in the future to manage it is also troublesome, how to set up a general ancestral hall to save worry and effort?

Master Li said: "Of course, there is no need to make up five hundred sages like Suzhou Mansion, there are too many, just select a few extremely famous sages, it is nothing more than a symbol." ”

Several masters are not stupid, and there are immediately speculations. The proprietor of other things let everyone speak freely and happily follow it, but only this matter has a specific idea, what does this mean? This shows that in the owner's mind, the importance of this matter is quite high, not necessarily lower than the construction of the palace.

Since the proprietor has an idea, then let's do it, and it doesn't matter why the proprietor values it so much. The things that the proprietor attaches importance to are the things that the staff should pay attention to, and several masters put aside others and discuss which sages are selected.

"There should be Dong Zi of the Han Dynasty, this is a generation of Confucianism." Master Cui proposed one person first. Dong Zizhi, Dong Zhongshu, who "deposed the hundred schools of thought and respected Confucianism alone", served as the minister of state in Jiangdu, which is about the same as the current Yangzhou Taishou. It should be the earliest sage in the history of Yangzhou City.

Master Hu stroked his beard and said: "There is Dong Zi Temple in Beiliu Lane in the city, which has been encircled when the Yamen of the Salt Transportation Division occupies an area. ..., Li You said domineeringly when he heard this: "Since this is the case, I will transfer the text to the Salt Transportation Division and ask the Salt Transportation Division to carefully renovate the Dong Zi Temple and open it at four o'clock." If you refuse, ask the Yun Si to give up the place, and if you refuse to let it again, you will ask the battalion to demolish the outer wall of the Yun Si and open up the road to Dong Zi Temple. How can the Pantheon Temple be lost in the government office and not be heard? ”

That's Xuanhe's salt transportation division... Everyone was speechless, and after a moment of trance, they put down Dong Zici and continued to discuss, "The three sages of Song should have." ”

This Song Zhi Sanxian refers to Han Qi, Ouyang Xiu, and Su Shi, who served as the Taishou of Yangzhou, since Li You first took office, he combined these three people into a poem to satirize Luo Zhifu, and the saying of the three sages became popular in Yangzhou City.

Master Hu is most familiar with the history of Yangzhou, "There was originally Ouyang Wenzhong Ancestral Hall in the city, but it fell into disrepair and decay. Su Zi also built the Gulin Hall on Shugang, and now there is a little sacrificial incense there, and there are remnants of the stele written by Su Zi himself. Han Wei Gong had never heard of a shrine. ”

"Ouyang Wenzhong's ancestral hall was rebuilt in situ, and Su Dongpo's ancestral hall was built in Gulin Hall. It's just that I don't know where the Han Wei Public Office is located, you can visit the old site of the ancestral hall! ”

The chief secretary of Jiangdu County, who had not spoken, spoke at this time: "Du Fanchuan in the Tang Dynasty passed down the Taoist system of Yangzhou poetry, and he can also set up an ancestral hall. ”

Du Fanchuan, Du Muye, used countless poems to portray the great poets of Yangzhou, and when it comes to Yangzhou poetry, we must first talk about Du Mu.

But Li You denied it: "Du Mu is wandering in Yangzhou, and the corpse is vegetarian, which is not beneficial to the people, saying that the sages have gone too far, so don't worry about him this time." ”

Hearing the proprietor's words, everyone was stunned again. Master Li is also a famous poet, so it is a bit unreasonable to belittle the poets of the previous dynasty, and it should not be like this when peers are jealous, then Du Mu is almost a thousand years ago.

Soon, Master Zhuang suddenly woke up first! In fact, is it because Du Mu has never been a Yangzhou Taishou? Dong Zhongshu served as the minister of Jiangdu, and the three sages all served as the Taishou of Yangzhou, and only Du Mu was only a secretary when he was in Yangzhou.

The proprietor deliberately took the opportunity to build a group of ancestral temples of Yangzhou Taishou, and the reason is here, I have to admire!
