Li Youmu sent Jiao Shimei and Shen Heling out of the Wuying Palace, and calculated the current situation as quickly as possible.

The two escaped because they couldn't withstand the coercion and temptation of the Queen Mother? Or cringe from the intense pressure to be in the spotlight? Whatever the reason, the fact now is that the backgrounds of the other two are related to the Honor.

He was not so narcissistic as to think that someone took the initiative to sweep away his opponents for him, thinking that the eldest princess of Guide had repeatedly warned him that the Virgin must have a backhand, Li You seemed to have an understanding. The voluntary withdrawal of the two courtiers' preferred candidates was the result of the Empress Dowager Cisheng's secret tricks behind her back, and now she caught the ministers off guard.

Master Li still remembered that the eldest princess of Guide had repeatedly asked him yesterday, would he resign? This is most likely a question asked for Empress Dowager Qian. In others, Empress Dowager Qian must have also put in the effort, and the effort is definitely greater.

If the Empress Dowager Bingzheng is an enemy of all the courtiers, she is still powerless, but if she wants to concentrate on and target a certain courtier, the power is still very great, and there are many means available.

Jiao Shimei and Shen Heling ran away so desperately, it is likely that they received the key care of Empress Dowager Qian, so they couldn't bear it.

The results of the first three elections were not released, ostensibly because the Queen Mother sold the face of the eldest princess of Guide to give him Li You a chance, could it be that she was really waiting until today?

Master Li glanced at the two officials who were still waiting to be elected around him, and they couldn't hide their joyful faces.

Recall these two people in detail. One is the son-in-law of Huang Jian'an Guogong, born in Jinshi, and is currently the Shaoqing of Guanglu Temple, and once served as the governor of Linqing Prefecture, Shandong; The other is Zeng Chun, a member of the Chengguo clan, who was born in a human being, and is currently the Tongzhi of Wuchang Mansion in Huguang.

It seems that the Queen Mother and her old man are really serious, so they pulled out these two resumes from the camp of Xun Qi and basically met the requirements, and made the courtiers have nothing to say.

The Empress Dowager deliberately provoked him in public, and the old story of Li You's contradictions with Xu, Peng and others was brought up again in order to stab them fiercely, and it was really not for no reason.

In this way, it is difficult to ask a few more bachelors who have a disagreement with Li You to muster the courage to spit on their own faces, and promote Li You against their will when they have just been swept away.

Thinking about the current situation, Master Li couldn't help but sigh with emotion, what the Empress Dowager Qian is doing now is more like an imperial role, showing the control extended by relying on the imperial power. At the last moment of her administration, she finally realized that she was not as "easy to bully" as before.

It can be said without modesty that in promoting the Queen Mother's awakening, he Li You has made great "contributions".

While Li You was thinking about it, the ministers of the palace were all surprised by the suddenness of the incident, and they exchanged words for a while.

The most tangled are Xu Ge Lao and Peng Ge Lao, the Queen Mother dragged them into a dilemma, and the two frowned and remained silent for a long time. Many people also turned their light to them, speculating about their choices.

The second assistant Xu Daohong was expressionless, as if it was none of his business, but he also had other thoughts. He keenly felt that the Queen Mother's idea was not only to take advantage of the contradictions between Li You and most of the elders, but also to promote her favorite person had another meaning.

The Empress Dowager wants to use Li Jianyou, a figure full of contradictions, as a wedge and smash it among the ministers, and continue to widen the rift between the ministers and ministers.

If Xu and Peng really want to show an attitude that they would rather be cheap than resolutely not give it to Li You today, what should they think in the eyes of others? This is a public indication that the cabinet is divided, and this guiding role should not be underestimated, and there will never be a shortage of careerists in the world, which will greatly encourage the atmosphere of partisan strife among the courtiers. …,

Civil officials are often taken out as a whole, but in fact, civil officials are never monolithic, and their attitudes towards the same companions are often the opposite, otherwise there would not have been repeated party disputes in history. The so-called civilian clique is more of a general academic term than a political term.

It is true that civil servants have common and overall interests, but not all of them have the character and quality to keep the whole picture in mind. When there is a contradiction between principle and self, principle does not necessarily prevail over self, in fact, this is the difference between a politician and a politician.

For Xu, Peng and other scholars, there was nothing to hesitate before, and they could go all out to promote one of the prefects of Kaifeng Prefecture, Jiao Shimei, or the member of the Criminal Department, Shen Heling, which was a high degree of unity between principle and self. But in the current situation, do you support Li You, the assassin in the flesh, or put forward the candidates of the other two camps?

After thinking about it, Xu Yue and Peng Chunshi glanced at each other, and the two who had cooperated for many years suddenly had a common mind and made a decision. The lesser of two evils is to deny Li Youwei.

If Li You, a person who is bold and reckless, has nothing to do, and is not suitable at all, occupies the position of the governor of the five cities, and has the ability to conduct detective trials in the 36 squares of the capital city, it may be even more harmful to them.

It doesn't matter to Li You, but Li You has Xu Cifu behind him. Xun Qi is powerful, they are still palace scholars, if Xu Jiefu, who is staring at the throne for the first time, gains power, they will only have to say goodbye to the old and return to their hometown! Throughout the past dynasties, most of the abnormal bachelors were planted in the hands of colleagues, except for the special period of the Chongzhen period.

Don't say anything about the beauty of a gentleman who has the amount of tolerance for people! In the officialdom of the king and the loser, the word "the amount of tolerance" has always been used to add to the winner, and it is the patent of the winner, and the loser is only worthy of being called the benevolence of Xianggong, not the amount of tolerance.

From this point of view, although Xu, Peng and other scholars are high-ranking and noble, they do not seem to be victors in front of Li You, and they are not qualified to treat Li You with the amount of tolerance.

Even if you take 10,000 steps back, both sides have the beautiful intention of diluting the contradictions, but it will take time and steps to slowly realize and smooth out. But for the sake of a mere five grades, it doesn't seem to be worth slapping yourself on the spot to change your face, otherwise it looks very cheap, and you may be ridiculed at both ends of the head.

As a university scholar, you must pay attention to decency, and you can't ignore these comments, they are not Yuan Lide, who is bent on holding the royal leg and can not care about Lin Qingyi.

Okay, I have to admit that those who promote the honors and relatives may also be slandered, but this is just a temporary compromise with the Queen Mother, who has not compromised in the officialdom? But if Li You is promoted, it will be a shame to look at, and it will be more humiliating than having no choice but to compromise.

Master Li watched coldly, and from the perspective of human nature and self-interest, he could guess the thoughts of several scholars, because he knew that Xu, Peng and others were not people who had the courage to sacrifice themselves.

In other words, it is impossible for Xu, Peng and other scholars to have no stomach at all as Zaifu, but they have suffered too much from him Li You, a small miscellaneous soldier, and there is always a limit to people's tolerance. Therefore, these elders, especially Peng Gelao, have almost zero tolerance for themselves, and they are easily angry when they see themselves, and they don't even have a sense of compromise.

Planting cause and effect, this can be regarded as self-inflicted, Li You sighed. At this point, there is no turning back, only one way to go to the dark, and if you want to do evil, you will do evil to the end! Sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat!

The weather is sunny today, and the light in the hall is good. The Empress Dowager Cisheng, who was above Her Majesty Dan, looked at the expressions of some of the ministers below through the bead curtain, and saw that they had their own thoughts and suspicions of each other, so they had the pleasure of revenge. …,

The monarchy should have been used in this way, and he should have realized this a long time ago, instead of saying that it is better to be obedient and unpleasant, and to be a "female Zhongyao Shun" than to be a "female middle Yaoshun". Come and go, treat yourself as a lonely person crying in the Golden Palace!

It's a pity that I woke up too late, and now it's time to wait. There can only be one step at a time, lay a good foundation for the Son of Heaven, and don't repeat her mistakes and be easily deceived by these courtiers!

In fact, Empress Dowager Qian's mentality is a bit like a woman drilling the tip of the bull's horns, and the overall plan is full of feminine intrigues and small imaginations, but it is quite effective when paired with holding the monarchy.

She can't do anything else, but it will always be impossible to follow the gourd and follow the ancestors, the wings of the emperors of the past dynasties are nothing more than lieutenant officials, factory guards, and honors in the early years of the dynasty.

Among these three forces, it is okay to rebuild the celebrant and eunuch, and the king uses a domestic slave as a secretary, and the civil officials can't control it, and it can be tolerated. It's okay to reuse the relatives, they are all princes, the foundation is not bad, and slowly guide the promotion, and there will always be results.

However, to rebuild organizations such as Dongchang and Jinyiwei Zhenfusi, which make civil officials extremely insecure, will violate the bottom line of civilian officials' psychology and will definitely cause a desperate backlash from all over the Manchu dynasty. So even if Empress Dowager Qian had the will, she didn't dare to try, not to mention that she didn't have the prestige and manpower to try it at all.

However, the five cities of the Terracotta and Horses Division are divided into five cities, and the tentacles are all over the squares and shops, and if they are strengthened and transformed, they can play a part of the functions similar to those of the Jinyi Guard. It can't be done with the edict, but with the manpower all over the city, it is enough to be able to check the trend, inquire about the news, and find the handle.

That's why Empress Dowager Qian was so concerned about the commander-in-chief of the Five Cities Patrol Imperial History and the Five Cities Terracotta Division, the right envoy and the commander of the Five Cities Terracotta Division.

is not only to use this to establish authority and provoke contradictions between Wenchen, but also has a lot of follow-up thoughts, but this little bit of thought has not even been told by his daughter.

Empress Dowager Qian saw that the ministers below were talking endlessly, and urged: "Where is the official book? Tingtui hasn't started yet? ”

The current trend is right in her arms, and the result is definitely what she wants to see the most, so in order to avoid long nights and dreams, it is only right to start and end quickly.

Zhao Tianguan, the secretary of the ministry, immediately received the decree and faced the ministers again, ready to start presiding over the court push, but was interrupted again.

"Wait! Ministers have something to do! Li You, who was at the end, suddenly shouted.

After that, he walked out of the queue and walked to the front, and took the opportunity to hand Xu Cifu a look full of entanglement, helplessness, apology, and apology, which made Xu Cifu very surprised and inexplicable.

I saw Li You kowtow to the Empress Dowager Cisheng and said, "The minister has the courage to ask the Holy Mother and the scholars of the palace to avoid the court push!" ”

Peng Ge, who maintained zero tolerance for Li Tianren, jumped out when he heard this. Scolded: "Bold! ”

Li You turned a deaf ear to Peng Ge Lao, took out a book from his sleeve for a long time, and held it high with the cover facing upwards.

The ministers raised their eyes and looked closely, and the words on the cover were "Daming Hui Canon Volume Five", and some ministers who were familiar with the classics had thought of something in an instant, and exclaimed in surprise...... ）
