The next time, when Li You sat in the office, he continued to think about his future. At this time, the garrison department of the prefecture came to report to the prefecture that a boat was robbed last night, and dozens of thieves scattered in the prefecture in a hurry.

Li You was shocked when he heard the news! It's just that the poor people robbed the rice from the rice shop, at most it was an ordinary robber case, and this time they actually grabbed the bow of the boat, what is the difference between this and robbing the official silver? The quality of the surname can be called extremely bad.

From grabbing grain merchants to grabbing boats, it seems that the turmoil in Fucheng has become more and more intense.

Although in this special period, Li You is the number two person in the yamen, but he is still only a governor in name, so he has the power to deal with this matter, so he will report the case to Wang Tongzhi.

Wang Tongzhi heard the news and was also shocked! But he was just a fellow intellectual, and he was not in charge of the criminal name in terms of authority, nor was he authorized to do so, so he had to report the case to Qin Cha Xie Zhongcheng. Then he sighed to Li You: "The chaos in the house is getting worse, and when you and I need to work hard, I can't help myself because of the limitations of my authority." ”

Xie Zhongcheng heard the news or was shocked! And then there was no follow-up. After all, the focus of the Qincha's duties is on picketing, not on the coarse and coarse substitution.

Li You put down the case and continued to think about his personal development. Wang Tongzhi's intentional emotion gave him inspiration, and he also made up a few words that the court needed to promote and reuse him, and lived up to Wang Tongzhi's praise for his good surname.

But the promotion of the little people, especially the road to promotion, is destined to be difficult and tortuous, and the high-sounding rhetoric is there, and new problems arise when he needs to act.

If you want to be promoted this time, the first premise falls on Xie Qincha. The role of the Qincha is equivalent to the eyes and ears of the imperial court, and what the Qincha sees is equivalent to what the imperial court sees. If you can state a few reasons for the promotion when you can return to the court, it can be regarded as the first step in the entire promotion process.

Otherwise, there is no basis for a legal surname, on what basis does the imperial court think that he Li You should be promoted to a higher rank? Forcibly promoting him is tantamount to a chaotic life.

But it was this first pass that stumped Governor Lee. Some people may ask, what's the difficulty, hurry up to the door to pull the relationship and fight the joint? That's a big mistake, things can't be done that way.

There is a etiquette in the officialdom of this dynasty, and between petty officials and high-ranking officials who are not familiar with each other, they are not allowed to meet unless they are called. That is to say, between two officials with too much difference in status, the junior official can only go to the high-ranking official when he is summoned, and he cannot take the initiative to run to disturb and ask for a meeting, otherwise it will be rude. Otherwise, wouldn't those high-ranking officials with great power be annoyed to death by all kinds of strangers. Of course, this rule is the rule of private relations, and this does not apply to official transactions.

Therefore, the status of the Governor of Jiupin and the status of Sanpin Qincha is too far apart, and Li You is not qualified to take the initiative to associate with Xie Zhongcheng. There is still a little difficulty, even if the opportunity is good, what chance can I meet Qincha, but what does Li You use to have a relationship with Qincha? A few thousand taels of silver, Li Youke couldn't take it out. There are other things that Li You can give at present, and everyone estimates that they have them, so why help Li You.

In addition, it is true that some big people like to mention young and handsome people no matter what their psychology, but with a background like Li You, it seems that there is no potential worth investing in.

All in all, Li You wanted to go to Xie Zhongcheng to open up the joints by himself, but it was basically impossible to succeed, and he lost his reputation for not being able to do anything or being a toad who wanted to eat swan meat.

However, after thinking and meditating for a while, it really made Li You, who is good at change, think a little bit of clue, his weight is too light, but he can think of pulling a certain heavyweight to advocate together. His idea is similar to the practice of bundling in later generations, and Li You is the one who adds a head or a giveaway, which can be sold together with the main goods.

As soon as I had some idea, I heard from Menzi and said, "There is a Zhao Liangli minister who came to visit your lordship." ”

collapsed the prefect of Mao's mansion who came out of the Zhao family, Li You has always thought of a bad rhetoric, so he never went to see Zhao Liangli, but he didn't expect him to take the initiative to come to the door today, I really don't know what will happen.

Li You came out of the room to greet him, and Zhao Liangli sneered: "Congratulations to Lord Li for his bright future and prosperous journey!" The yin and yang weird Li You returned the salute and said: "Then when I went to your mansion, I wanted to tell the matter of the Mao Governor's Mansion, but I didn't have a chance to say it because of the accident, and I ask for forgiveness." ”

"Don't you really have a chance to say it? Or is it because Master Li is afraid that I will leak secrets and ruin your big business. Zhao Liangli said.

"How dare you think so?" Li You said helplessly, in fact, he did have this idea.

Zhao Liangli snorted: "In your eyes, I am probably a person who can't be trusted, I have nothing to say, say goodbye!" ”

Seeing Zhao Liangli walk away, Li You shook his head. It was the first time since I met that I saw the third master of the Zhao family lose his temper so fiercely. Thinking that it would be better to wait for a few days for his anger to subside, and then submit a letter to explain and fix it, there is a clue from Brother Jie, and he is not afraid that he will not be able to catch up with the Zhao family.

In a whirlwind, Zhao Liangli's figure appeared at the door again, and he was very dissatisfied: "I'm not worth your stay?" You're too uninhabited! ”

Li You couldn't cry or laugh, what the hell is this old man doing, is he idle and has nothing to do with him.

"Let's go, my second brother is looking for you." Zhao Liangli explained his intentions, as if the previous saliva had not happened.

Li You was overjoyed and said, "Why does the boss want to see you here? "It's really dozing off, someone sent a pillow, and he was worried about how to ask to see Second Master Zhao.

Zhao Liangli looked at Li You's happy face when he heard Zhao Liangyi, and sighed: "You have only been in the officialdom for a few months, but you are becoming more and more vulgar. Look at you now bending your waist for five buckets of rice, and you don't even take poetry seriously, and it's hard to have a serious point recently because of patting my second brother's ass. ”

Li You couldn't hold back Zhao Liangli's sarcastic face, although what Zhao Liangli said was the truth. At the beginning, Li You was in Xujiang, Zhao Liangli was in Fucheng, and distance produced beauty. Now that they have met in Fucheng a lot, Li You doesn't have the energy to maintain that kind of celebrity image again and again, so he was identified by Zhao Liangli as a black person who is close to ink, and the dye vat of officialdom has brought Mr. Li to ruin.

Li You had nothing to say, so he had to defend: "It's not as you think, there is really something important to ask to see the boss." ”

"It's not that I underestimate you, how important can the Nine Rank Master be?" Zhao Liangli simply seized every opportunity to attack Li You's confidence in officialdom and wanted to pull Li You back to what he thought was the right path.

Li You retorted: "The Governor of Jiupin can overturn the prefect, and the third master doesn't think so?" ”

Zhao Liangli was speechless for a while, and walked away again, and Li You hurriedly followed.

There was nothing to say all the way, and after two archways into the Zhao Mansion, Li You was led to a certain Yajing study in the deep courtyard. Zhao Liangyi, a former waiter of the Nanjing Ministry of Rites and still enjoying the political treatment of Zhengsanpin after resigning, met him here.

Zhao Liangyi invited Li You over, mainly to ask about the matter of Prefect Mao's mansion, it is really difficult to find others. Zhao Liangyi has always been an official outside, and he doesn't know Wang Tongzhi, and it seems that the movement is too big to visit Qincha, which arouses people's reverie, so it is appropriate to ask Li You to ask.

Li You honestly told the past and the future in detail, and there was nothing to hide.

But seeing Zhao Liangli, who was listening with the guests on the side, snapped the case and said: "You really don't have the righteousness of a friend, and you don't tell you in secret, and you lose my hope!" ”

If you're not in officialdom, don't speak in layman's terms... Li You just thought about it in his heart, and he didn't refute it, he wanted to see what Second Master Zhao said, which could be regarded as a further investigation of his personality.

Zhao Liangyi turned his head to his younger brother and shouted, "Don't be rude." He turned around and said: "The gentleman has something to do and something not to do, Mao's predecessor's mind is not used for the right path, and it is also to blame, sooner or later there will be disaster, and I can't complain about Lord Li." It's a pity that my grandfather ordered this protégé in his later years, and he was also disgraced at this time. ”

After a pause, he continued with a somewhat appreciative tone: "At the moment of major events, Master Li can be cautious in his words and deeds without losing secrets, and he can be regarded as a stoic talent. Put yourself in my shoes, you shouldn't leak it to my brother. ”

Li You put his mind at ease, and secretly praised that his judgment last time was good, Zhao Liangyi is really a rational and open-minded official, and from the point of view of knowing how to understand the situation of others, he is not extremely narrow-minded and selfish, and he is worthy of cooperation with him. His heart turned around again, and he stood up decisively and bowed down and said: "The lower official has something to discuss with the boss, and I hope the boss will listen to it." ”

Zhao Liangyi didn't expect that the little Jiupin official in front of him would take the initiative to discuss something with him in a serious manner, and he was very surprised: "You might as well talk about it." ”

"The pillar of the country, it's too early to return to the country at this time, have you ever thought about going out of the mountain?"

Zhao Liangyi's expression immediately became serious, and his body sat up slightly. The reason why he resigned was because the official of the Nanjing Ministry of Rites was too boring, but mainly because he was attacked by the officials, so he took the method of retreating to advance.

Zhao Liangyi is only forty-two years old, and he is in the prime of life, and he will not really want to care for the elderly at home. During this time, he was also constantly thinking about his recovery, involving timing, location and so on. But I don't want to, the major issue of the revival of the Zhengsanpin officials was discussed by a small miscellaneous official, and the first feeling was very funny and absurd.

But Zhao Liangyi has dealt with Li You twice, and he can also know that Li You is not a person who is exaggerated or absurd. For example, the last time he wrote a poem to scold Mao Zhifu, everyone agreed that Li You's brain was in water, but it turned out that there was another deep meaning.

Dare to bring up the resumption in front of me, does he really have any outstanding opinions? can write so many kinds of poems, and can forbear to fight the prefect, he is definitely not a stupid person, maybe there is something extraordinary, and he can't be regarded as an ordinary miscellaneous official, Zhao Liangyi thought. At the same time, he asked, "What do you think about Master Li?" ”

Li You replied: "It's a confidential matter, please keep it back and forth, so as not to leak it." ”

There is only one person left and right... Zhao Liang blew his beard and glared angrily.

Zhao Liangyi couldn't help but laugh dumbly, feeling that the relationship between Li You and his immature brother was really good, and they could still have fun with each other at this time.
