There was nothing to say all night, and the next day was the morning day. Today, Li You was allowed to enter the court, and there is no need to patrol the streets. The reason is that in the last great court, Lu Yuanguang, the ambassador of the Propaganda Division, impeached him, and the Son of Heaven ordered him to go to the palace to defend himself.

It was dark and windy. On this winter morning, Li You crossed the Jinshui Bridge and mingled in the phalanx of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, reminiscing about the beautiful days of patrolling the streets in a warm sedan chair while surviving the highly programmed court meeting.

The big court meeting is the etiquette, and the following Wenhua Hall court meeting is the most important. Among the thousands of civil and military ministers in the capital, only forty or fifty can be fixed to go to the Wenhua Palace to discuss matters, if the ceremony is held in the Huangji Palace, there are also these people who can enter the palace to participate in the court, so the officialdom is commonly called "the palace official".

Lord Li's power is between Yushi and Jing Zhaoyin, because it is a new official position in this dynasty, and it is still ambiguous and controversial whether it belongs to the palace officials. But two or three months ago, Lord Li was ordered to be exempted from the court, so the controversy ended. As for going to the temple today, it is a special invitation.

On the way to the Wenhua Palace, Li You saw Ambassador Lu, because of the impeachment of Lord Li, this little nine products are also fortunate to go to the palace today.

However, the two just glanced at each other from a distance, and did not talk in order to avoid suspicion, after all, the two of them still play opposing roles in front of the public for the time being.

In fact, since Ambassador Lu was impassioned at the court meeting a few days ago, many people have found out his roots. It's okay not to check, but it's even more confusing to check, this Ambassador Lu was actually appointed by Duan Zhien, the eunuch of the celebrant and the eunuch?

Then this person is too upright... Duan Zhien helped him become an official. He impeached the Son of Heaven for treachery on the left and right; Li You recommended him in a letter, and he in turn impeached Li You for abuse of power. Although these are facts that everyone knows, it is not his turn to impeach.

It is inconsistent to say that he was instructed by Duan Zhien, or that he colluded with Li You. Or is this person more selfless than Hai Jui, only talking about facts and ignoring personal feelings?

Is it true or fake? When the princes thought about it, they couldn't help but sigh with emotion. In recent years, there have been many artists. Judging from the performance of Ambassador Lu at the DPRK meeting that day, it is impossible to see carefully whether it is true or false.

Li You followed Lu Ge's side, chatted a few words, and after entering the hall, he found a place to stand silent, meditating on the next lines in his heart. According to his plan, he was going to deliberately "lose" a game today.

The first reason for the defeat is to borrow the slope to get off the donkey. Settle the affairs of the Lu family, and at the same time draw salary to the bottom of the white waiter's kettle.

The reason is simple. From the dragon faction desperately besieged Peng Ge Lao. One crime is collusion with businessmen to frame the minister, although this crime is not big, but it is very taboo and eye-catching.

But what if Li You preemptively admits his mistake, admits to abusing power against the Lu family, publicly opens Lu Shangzhi, and apologizes? Then the Lu family's theory of framing the minister will naturally disappear, and Peng Ge Lao will not be charged with this crime, and the siege of him will naturally become a laughing stock.

I'm afraid that the white squire and his gang can't think of it at all. Li Youneng, who has a temper higher than the sky, confessed his mistake and apologized to the merchant. Master Li has been eating and drinking well in prison for so long, and Lu Shangzhi is just for this moment.

Li You knows. Anyway, it's impossible to really do anything to him for this little thing, just admit your mistake and admit it. The maximum fine is one to three years, and Master Li is very clear about this. Others wouldn't really think that he was afraid of the Lu family and Peng Ge Lao.

The second reason for defeat is to cater to the tastes of the princes of the temple. It is good to take this opportunity to take the initiative to break his undefeated golden body, lest everyone feel guilty when they see him Li You always going from victory to victory. Envy, jealousy and hatred are human nature, and in the dark tide of officialdom, there may be a reef somewhere.

It is also very cost-effective to lose a game to eliminate this kind of mustard and return to the world from the god of war, and it is not good to be too outstanding, so it is necessary to be appropriately obscure. …,

Therefore, Li You felt that instead of losing to others, it was better to give his defeat to his younger brother to brush up his reputation, which is called fat water does not flow into the field of outsiders. Maybe after admitting his mistakes, he can still get a reputation for being humble and changing his mistakes, but so far, among the various reputations he has brushed up, there is no such one.

When Lord Li was fantasizing about his solitary defeat and what posture it would be more beautiful to admit his mistakes, the Son of Heaven above had already ascended to the throne. After the ceremony, Jinghe Tianzi glanced at the ministers below and said in a deep voice: "Where is Li You?" ”

The ministers sighed in their hearts, this Li You is really a person who is in the heart of the emperor! There are so many national events in the court, and His Majesty does not ask Li You before he is promoted to the palace, which shows that he is uniquely endowed.

Li You stepped forward and replied, "The minister is here." ”

Jinghe Tianzi asked, "Yesterday you went to the coal market outside Fuchengmen?" ”

Hearing the Son of Heaven's question, Li You immediately reacted in his heart and secretly shouted, it's broken!

Of course it's bad, this matter just happened yesterday, and he didn't have time to play, but the Son of Heaven was in the deep palace but already knew it, so it must have been known through the eunuchs in the palace.

Think about it and know that the people who deliberately rumored in the palace would say good things about him? If it's good, there's no need to explain it to the Son of Heaven! It must be all negative remarks about himself, I don't know how the Son of Heaven feels after hearing it.

Complaining about hardship and complaining about hardship, Li You couldn't snub the Son of Heaven, and replied in his mouth: "The minister has indeed been there." This incident only happened yesterday, but the minister has not yet progressed, I wonder how His Majesty learned about it? ”

Jing and the Son of Heaven said angrily: "It has been spread all over the palace, don't I know? You're so good, you even took me to sell a direct invitation! ”

It was almost dark at the end of yesterday's coal market, and it was only a dozen hours from now, and most people in the hall didn't know about it, and they were in an uproar when they heard it. I couldn't help but think in my heart, what did this Li You do, brush up his fame on the head of the Son of Heaven?

Depend on! At this point, Li You has really determined what is going on, and there must be internal supervisors who deliberately took the words out of context! I couldn't help shouting: "If this is not the case, Your Majesty should have misunderstood!" ”

The Son of Heaven did not listen to Li You's defense, and said hatefully: "What misunderstanding? Could it be that the people can buy coal, but I can't? I deserve to be frozen? The coal ordered in this palace deserves to be taken by others and distributed to the people at will? In your eyes, I am not as good as the common people! ”

In the eyes of the Son of Heaven, he is kind enough to Li You, but this Li You is indeed a little pampered and arrogant, and he must be beaten! What happened to the eunuchs in the palace who went to stock up on some coal when they were short of coal? Isn't there no need for coal in the palace? Also make Li You look at it like this?

must have committed another civil illness again, and deliberately wanted to take this opportunity to brush his reputation with the face of the Son of Heaven! This kind of person who picks up a bowl to eat meat, puts down chopsticks and scolds his mother, is still hateful!

Li You sighed secretly, this time not only did he not strike first, but instead startled the snake and let the other party sue first. The other party is not stupid.

It's really up to people to make things happen, and it's up to heaven to make things happen! Originally, according to his plan, as long as the eldest princess was more powerful, today would at least be a balance in the heart of the Son of Heaven, and it would not be completely one-sided.

It was supposed to be "the eunuch who left the palace to ruin the reputation of the Son of Heaven", but it turned out to be "Li You deliberately used the reputation of the Son of Heaven to brush his reputation", one thing and two mouths, it all depends on who the Son of Heaven listens to.

If you don't occupy the position of public opinion, the enemy will occupy it. Where is the biggest public opinion position in the world? Right next to the ears of the Son of Heaven, Guide Chitose is too paralyzed and careless this time! Maybe the other party didn't expect so much, but their actions reminded them, and as a result, they were preconceived instead.

Li You was very helpless, he didn't do anything wrong, he had already done what he had to do. But if you are not afraid of god-like opponents, you are afraid of pig-like teammates. The eldest princess, who has been very reliable for two years, suddenly became unreliable once yesterday, and the situation immediately changed in a blink of an eye, could it be that her eldest aunt came yesterday and caused insufficient blood supply to the brain? …,

Li You thought about it again, and felt that the more he justified at this time, the more he would be regarded as a quibble by the Son of Heaven, the Son of Heaven was not a person who was a minister in the same hall, and he had the privilege of being infinitely unreasonable.

Therefore, Lord Li forcibly restrained himself from arguing with the Son of Heaven, although he thought that everything he did was for the sake of the Son of Heaven, no matter what, it was too useless for the eunuchs to grab coal with the people under the banner of the Son of Heaven, and there was no stock in the palace to support it. As for the other great truths of what the people are noble and the king is light, and what the people are like water and the king is like a boat, it cannot be mentioned at this time.

In the end, Master Li only asked, "Although there are many rumors that are untrue, there is nothing wrong with the minister." I only dare to ask, who in the palace spoke to His Majesty about this matter? ”

After all, the Son of Heaven was young, and he said very frankly: "What Duan Zhien said, how can it be false!" ”

When he ascended, the palace was in an uproar again, and the ears of the Son of Heaven were too soft! Do you believe what others say? What do you believe when a person is close to you? Can such a person be Mingjun!

Although everyone doesn't know the truth of yesterday very well, they all know that there was a mess in Xishan, and when they think about it, they can guess that Li You probably went to the coal market yesterday to suppress the eunuchs who tried to make trouble, so it led to revenge.

Li You suddenly took off his official hat and said, "The bones of the beggars!" ”

The Son of Heaven reprimanded: "Are you blackmailing! ”

"The minister doesn't dare to threaten, but His Majesty has Duan Zhien by his side, and the minister has no way to live as an official, so I implore His Majesty to give the minister a way to live."

The Son of Heaven was speechless, he knew that this kind of thing could not be easily agreed, and those people around him really couldn't get along with Li You, and he was considering his words. But seeing that Li You didn't wait for him to say anything, he threw his official hat to the ground, and resolutely turned around and walked out.

This is the second time in half a year that Li You has been forced to resign. Some people sigh that Li You is going to lose after all, no one is good for a thousand days, and no flower is red for a hundred days. There is no one in the world who will win and be invincible.

In addition, Li You has many enemies, and it is said that he was forced to resign and clear himself after being forced by this incident, which should be very happy in the eyes of the enemy. But at this time, except for some brainless people who are still gloating, most of the enemies have a sad heart of rabbits and foxes.

No matter how hateful Li You is, he can be regarded as a member of the civil government, although he was defeated this time, he was defeated in the hands of the eunuchs, which was a great defeat in foreign wars.

Just a few words from Duan Zhien can make Li You, who is the first in civil combat effectiveness and seems to be invincible in the capital, lose his armor, what does this mean? Could it be that feng shui takes turns, thirty years in the east of the river and thirty years in the west of the river? It's the time of eunuch rampant again? (To be continued)
