Chapter 136: Trivia at the end of the year
Coming out of Zhao's mansion, Li You went to the government office to find Wang Tongzhi and told Zhao San to ask him to write a recital.
Wang Tongzhi was surprised: "In just two days, you really made you do it?" ”
Without waiting for Li You, he agreed: "In order to stabilize people's hearts, it should be like this!" The old man has been in charge of himself. ”
Li You arched his hand, "Thank you, sir." ”
"It's easy, but..."Wang Tongzhi said meaningfully: "It can't be just that. ”
Li You knew that Wang Tongzhi was going to put forward conditions, so he listened to him.
"It is necessary to ask the Ministry of Zhao Libu to consult with the Qin Mission, and ask him to say that if he wants to appease the people, he should not only reuse the famous local ministers, but also the local officials who are familiar with the political situation, so that he can have a clear target, and only by taking a two-pronged approach can the government be harmonious."
Li You was stunned, he wanted to borrow the signboard of Wang Tongzhi's representative of the government, and it was understandable that he proposed an exchange condition, and the political means were originally an exchange of interests, but what he didn't expect was that Wang Tongzhi actually wanted to take a ride... This "local official familiar with the political situation" is not Wang Laotong, who is he talking about? How to reuse? Didn't you just appoint him as the prefect? Wang Lao Tongzhi means that since everyone has built momentum together to say that the situation in Suzhou has been unstable due to corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and it is necessary for important ministers with deep local roots to come to proclaim favor and appease the people, then the officials in the original government who do not merge with corrupt officials and corrupt officials and are familiar with the local people's conditions should also be reused with local officials.
What made Li You speechless was that he racked his brains and planned painstakingly, pulling the tiger skin of the Zhao family and pulling the banner of the Zhao family to open up the way forward. As a result, Wang Lao Tongzhi said lightly here, and borrowed his strength naturally, and Li You felt that he was overcoming all obstacles as if he was opening the way for Wang Tongzhi.
He suddenly realized that it was no wonder that Old Man Wang talked about the possible surnames and benefits of his Li You's promotion to the rank of Seventh Rank Official the day before yesterday, in order to arouse his heart; It is no wonder that Old Man Wang sighed in front of him yesterday that there were no responsible local ministers in charge and the people's mood was turbulent, which was clearly a hint to him.
Wang Tongzhi and Governor Li are two grasshoppers with similar surnames on the same line in this case, as long as Li You can create a name, Wang Tongzhi can naturally borrow the momentum simply. Therefore, Wang Tongzhi, who has no background relationship, will desperately encourage Li You to toss for the official position, but Li You still knows a little bit of the characters who can reach the sky, which is a little stronger than Wang Lao Tongzhi.
And Li You really lived up to his expectations, and lived up to the evaluation of Old Man Wang's "I am optimistic about your surname"... After a long time, Li Youcai sighed: "The boss's style of acting is simply... The breeze creeps into the night, moisturizing things silently. ”
"The old man is old and lazy, so you won't suffer if you are left and right." Comrade Wang said with a smile.
Two days later, in late December, the weather for the New Year became more intense, and the streets gradually became lively (although usually lively). However, the front of the government is deserted, and those who eat at the gate of the government know that the government has been basically paralyzed recently, and business is not good, so it is better to concentrate on going home for the New Year.
This is said that Xie Zhongcheng left Suzhou Mansion, and of course he was still detained with thirteen officials and prisoners and several key human and material evidence. For the prisoner, Xie Zhongcheng just made a brief inquiry, and confirmed the general outline of this warehouse case, even if he completed the mission. Let's just bring Mao Zhifu and other cadres to Beijing, he can't afford to delay time in Suzhou and take responsibility.
Counting it up, Xie Zhongcheng was only seven or eight days before and after the time in Suzhou Mansion, which can be said to be in a hurry to come and go.
As for the more than 30 officials, they were all thrown into the prison of the government office, and it was simply their own hands to let the dignified deputy capital Yu Shi personally deal with these little people, so they were handed over to the local government for interrogation and reporting according to the old practice of criminal names.
Wang Tongzhi and Governor Li, the only two officials of the Suzhou Prefecture Bureau, rushed to see off the Qincha outside the gate, and when Li Youmu sent the Qincha fleet away, he said with great emotion: "I often hear that the people who are named as the Qincha have two fears, fearing that the road is near, and the time is short, so they are only willing to delay and travel to all directions to receive more gifts." This Xie Zhongcheng is resolute, which is really refreshing for the lower officials, and he is really a pillar of the country. ”
"Really? Do you really think so? Wang Tongzhi asked.
Li You snorted and said, "Of course." ”
For Xie Zhongcheng, leaving as soon as possible at this time is definitely the best choice. The investigation and handling of a major case is already a credit, so why bother to continue to stay by the powder keg, what if something goes wrong and is affected? And what if the people gather to petition for the Qincha? He didn't have the ability to conjure up tens of thousands of stone meters to help and appease the poor.
The bans on all the halls in the government that had been sealed for a few days have been lifted, and they have started to operate with difficulty again, and there are still a lot of supernumerary officials left, that is, from the officials to the prefect, none of them can really manage things.
When Li You, the governor of the Department of Experience, saw the little official of the Chengfa room carrying a two-foot-high stack of documents in front of him, everyone was numb, does this still make the New Year.
"Master Li, you are the only one left in the Experience Division." The little official said helplessly.
Li You popped out six words: "There is also the same master." ”
The two-foot-high document was placed in the Tongzhi Hall, and Wang Tongzhi said indifferently: "Mountain people have their own clever plans. ”
When even the official was called to knock on the bangzi, gather all the officials to the outside of the Tongzhi Hall.
"Tomorrow is the winter solstice, according to the old rules, the government will be sealed, and each will stop working and go home for the New Year!" Wang Tongzhi ordered.
Li You sighed, sure enough, Old Man Wang has never been a tough surname who is afraid of difficulties, and he always brings a soft word to everything, and it is better to say that it is called to overcome rigidity with softness. However, it should be more comfortable to have such a boss.
The winter solstice is indeed a yamen tradition, which is equivalent to starting the Spring Festival holiday, during which the office is stopped, and generally comes back to the tenth day of the new year.
Unlike the previous few times when he went home, this time Li You was in a good mood, the cold wind was proud, and the light boat had crossed the Wanzhong Mountain.
After entering the house, he met his parents, and reunited with his wife and concubine in the back hall. The family had already received the news, and had prepared wine and food, and renovated a banquet. Li You and his wife and concubine in the third room chatted while eating, drinking, and they were also happy.
Li You secretly observed, and there was a situation that surprised him. Although the three rooms in the house are not resentful, they are more or less faintly alienated from each other, and Li You's efforts to reconcile them at home have little effect. It was a surprise to come back today and find that they were a lot closer to each other.
Analyzing the reasons, eighty percent is because when Li You was at home, all the women wanted to compete for more favors without saying it, and they couldn't get close. When the master is away from home for a long time, there is no object to compete for, and this competitive mentality is gradually dissolved, after all, they are all women of the same age, and there is no real grudge.
Just as Master Li was indulging in the fantasy of a harmonious harem, Mei Zhi, who was waiting on the side, suddenly spoke: "I heard that because of the father-in-law's renunciation, the reputation of the old man in Xishui Town's hometown is not very good." ”
Li Youqi said: "What kind of nonsense are you, master, how long have I not been back to Xishui, how can there be any comments." Besides, Liu Lao Taishan is a monk, and I didn't force him to become a monk. ”
Guan Xiuyu took over and said: "The husband doesn't know anything outside, it's all the fault of the concubine's father." ”
What did your brainless father do? But to save Aunt Guan's face, Li You didn't ask directly.
Mei Zhi said again: "Guan Lao has also become a monk, and there are rumors outside that the old man is not authentic, and the two old men have been forced out of the house. ”
Li You was angry for a while, even if one of the father-in-laws became a monk, the two fathers-in-law were all monks, which would inevitably cause discussions. What's more, many people know about Mr. Guan and his affairs, and others are more and more convinced that Mr. Guan was forced to leave the house after his son-in-law robbed his daughter and took the property.
"Your father..."Li You said to Aunt Guan for half a while, swallowed the words back, and glanced at Mei Zhi out of the corner of her eye, this maid must have deliberately mentioned this matter.
