For Xu Shangshu, Li You has already swept away the prestige of several pavilion elders, indirectly elevating his status in the rivers and lakes, in a sense, it can be regarded as achieving the goal, and there is no need to continue to be aggressive for the time being.

If the whole stage collapses completely, then no one will want to sing, and maybe the history books of later generations will give him a big bad review, such as being keen on power and ignoring the overall situation and abolishing the public for private purposes.

Over there, Lord Tianguan's words were like a basin of cold water, pouring cold on Li Zhongshu, who was almost about to comprehend the seventh sense of the small universe, and the powerful firepower was suddenly paralyzed.

He tilted his head to look at Xu Shangshu in disbelief, and then came to his senses completely, could this be the legendary excesses that are too strong and insulting to be long-lived or something? Or is it the legendary unloading mill, killing a donkey, crossing the river, demolishing a bridge, a rabbit, a dead dog, cooking a bird, and hiding a bow or something?

In the Ming Dynasty, three bachelors who wanted to resign at the same time, plus two scholars from the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of War, had the same attitude towards a certain matter, no matter which kind of monarch in Puwen II, it was inconvenient to rebel at will, and Empress Dowager Qian was no exception.

I only listened to the inner oracle of the curtain and said: "The official book is reasonable, I know." ”

As soon as these words came out, the three scholars breathed a sigh of relief. They are also worried about their hearts, if they really want to be "resigned" because of a seven-grade official collective, then they will also become a laughing stock for a hundred years.

The Queen Mother is obviously asking Li You to go to office, and the reason why she did not directly resign from her post is because Our Lady is kind and gives preferential treatment to her subordinates, after all, let Li You take the initiative to resign from the book, which looks better on his face, and it is better to say it than to be dismissed. The Empress Dowager is worthy of being known for her virtue!

Someone quickly calculated in his heart, if after three rounds today, Lord Li exchanged his actual position for a six-rank official rank with the sub-vote Zhongshu, would he be considered a profit or a loss? It's hard to tell.

According to the usual practice, Li You should say a few words such as "the minister is guilty of not working and remembering", and then everyone will be happily laid off to be distributed. Anyway, with Xu Tianguan in charge of the ministry, it should not be a big problem for Master Li to be re-employed.

Li You's young face was full of sadness, he took out the tooth tag from his waist pocket, and looked at the two columns of "Zhongshu Sheren" and "Zhiyu Fang" on it affectionately, and he was very reluctant.

This level of tooth tag does not engrave the name of the person, but only the position, and whoever holds the corresponding position will be given to whom. If Li You resigns from the position of the Zhongshu Sheren's direct edict, then the familiar tooth card in his hand will have to change owners.

Putting down the tooth card, Li You apologized and said: "The book in the sub-vote was newly established in October, and there have been no previous rules for 70 years. The minister is young and weak, and he takes the lead of heavy responsibilities, but he only knows that he is blindly brave, and the more he does, the more wrong he becomes, and he really can't bear the responsibility of creating a foundation. To fail the grace of God is a great sin. ”

These words also gave Li Youbo a little sympathy - the poor cannon fodder has become a test object for new things. Of course, everyone is only sighing a few times at the moment.

Li You said to the Queen Mother: "The responsibility of dividing the votes is heavy, and it is indispensable to sort out the chapters, and it is inconvenient to entrust others to do the secrets of the center." I wonder who will succeed after the minister? Now that all the public is here, it is advisable to decide on the candidate as soon as possible, and it is better to settle it as soon as possible after the discussion, so as not to mislead the state affairs. ”

The Empress Dowager of the Holy Emperor of the Ming Dynasty asked the ministers: "With the meaning of the Qing, if Li You goes to the post of secretary in the middle school, who can succeed him?" ”

The politically sensitive people in the temple immediately realized that the Queen Mother meant to engage in court pushing? Otherwise, why don't you need to ask Zhu Qing, just ask the official department or the university scholar directly.

The selection of officials is nothing more than a number of procedures: ministerial selection, ministerial promotion, court promotion, and special simplification. Under normal circumstances, Beijing officials of this grade of Qipin are directly drafted by the Ministry of Officials and approved, and there are also special orders in the palace to supplement the procedures of the Ministry of Officials.

What is that Tingtui? To put it simply, it is specially designed for adults, not every position is eligible for selection in the form of court push, I have a long history in the Ming Dynasty but have never heard of which seven-grade official position to engage in court push.

The regulations of the past dynasties have been different, and generally speaking, there are not many official positions that are qualified to enter the court promotion process, and there are only squires, scholars, governors, governors, and scholars. But how can he be in the book of the sub-votes....

This is lifting, this is glory, Wang Qinian, who felt that the authority of the vote division was within reach, Wang Yushi was so excited that he trembled all over. It's not that Wang Qinian is arrogant and arrogant, he naturally has his certainty.

Looking at the court, there is no need to consider the five grades or more, and no matter how hot the power of the vote is, there is no way to lower the face and lower a few levels to compete for the position of the book in the vote. And at the level of six or seven grades, apart from a clear stream like him, who else is more qualified to do this errand to clamp down on the cabinet?

He Wang Qinian is already a senior master of the imperial history, although he is only in his thirties, but with nearly ten years of qualifications, he is already a highly respected senior figure in the official world, and without this capital, he can't afford to gather people to besiege Li You. What's more, in this upside down Li trend, he is the most famous sharp knife pioneer, who has contributed the most, and of course he is the most qualified to receive Li You's political legacy.

The most important thing is that Wang Yushi currently has the support of Peng Ge Lao in Ming and Guide Chitose in the dark.

Today is simply lucky, he didn't need the trap he dug to play a role, but Li You himself lost first, and he didn't even have the risk... Wang Qinian clenched his fists in his sleeves, waiting for the moment of triumph to come.

Having said that, if you want to push it, the princes and nobles in the palace, the military attache Ci Lin will stand aside. Although they have been standing aside since entering the temple, they can at least theoretically speak, but they don't want to or don't want to speak, and now they don't even have the right to speak.

Li You returned to the train without sorrow, joy, desire, or desire, pinching the tooth card in his hand, waiting for its new owner to appear.

The inner supervisor took out a bookcase and placed it in front of His Majesty, and placed pen and ink and an empty book.

Diange University Scholar, Six Shangshu, Zuodu Imperial History, Dali Temple, Tongzheng Envoy, Six Ministers, Left Deputy Imperial Envoy, Six Departments in Charge of Affairs, Thirteen Masters of the Imperial History, a total of 45 people came out together, standing in the south and north of the book.

After saluting the Queen Mother, Xu Tianguan, the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, walked out of the crowd participating in the court push, and said to the ministers with an empty book: "Now the scholar in the middle of the promotion directly asks for the lack of a house and a division of votes. ”

After saying this, Xu Tianguan was silent. If it was a normal situation, the official department should have listed one or two candidates, but this time Xu Tianguan only said this sentence and shut up, probably indicating that he did not prepare candidates.

The officials of the Ministry of Heaven do not nominate candidates, so naturally someone else will put forward candidates.

Yuan Ge, a scholar of Wenhuadian University, was silent, and Peng Ge, a scholar of Wuyingdian University, and Xu Ge, a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion University, glanced at each other. ”

There is also Jin Shangshu of the Ministry of Etiquette who recommended Yin Weijie in the matter.

After waiting for a long time, there seemed to be no other candidate. Xu Tianguan was about to continue the next step, when Yang Ge, a scholar of Dongge University, spoke: "I'll push Li You." ”

The sound was not loud, but it was loud, attracting all the attention of the temple.

In the eyes of everyone, Yang Ge Lao said lightly: "It is difficult to divide the votes, and going to work at will will inevitably chill the courage to do things, so it is better to ask him to continue to do it." ”

Well, this is also a nomination, and everyone knows that this is better than nothing. Now that the general trend is coming, Li You will definitely not be able to continue to do it.

Xu Tianguan put the empty book back on the bookcase and wrote the names of the three candidates, Wang Qinian, Yin Weijie, and Li You, on the front page.

Then the people who participated in the court push were sorted according to their positions, one by one to the bookcase, and drew questions on the empty book.

Looking at this kind of thing, except in the period when authoritarian figures speak out and party strife is fierce, in fact, there are often only a few people who are particularly assertive, and most people just follow the trend depending on the situation, and this time is also the same.

Wang Qinian, as a candidate, did not draw the question, so in the end, it was 44 people who actually participated in the court push.

There is no need to sign the drawing title, and it is very easy to count. Xu Tianguan and the Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Officials each counted it, and then the officials who did not participate in the court push stepped forward and counted it again.

Finally, Xu Tianguan reported to the Queen Mother: "Wang Qinian, thirty-one; Li You, ix; Yin Weijie, IV. ”

Li You was moved when he heard Xu Tian's official report, and there were actually nine good people who voted for his sympathy.

When Wang Qinian heard thirty-one, he immediately burst into tears. All the hard work before was not in vain, it was worth it!

In the future, he will no longer be a rhetorical official who can only show off his mouth, and he has finally come out of the past ten years in Kedao! He will enter the central center, and with the support of the eldest princess and the Son of Heaven, he will hold the vote and become a powerful figure!

At this point, it is almost time for the theater of Wuyingdian to come to an end. The audience said that it was worth the trip, and the Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor were awarded to Li You and Wang Qinian, respectively. One generously and fiercely overwhelmed the three pavilion elders, and the other quietly became the final winner, and both deserved to win the grand prize.

Just as the monarchs in the hall were slacking off, the figure flashed, and they saw Li You, the former middle school secretary, coming out of the class again.

The people who are going home for lunch on an empty stomach in the morning are a little annoying, Lord Li, don't be unwilling to drag the show anymore, okay?

In the midst of dozens of complaining eyes, the dying and struggling Li You said to the Empress Dowager Cisheng: "The study house in the minister... Shang Bao Si Cheng Li You, impeached Wang Qinian, the superintendent of Henan Province, for being sinister, derelict in his duties, and bending the law, please cut his post for the people! ”

Among the people present, the most common thought was: Lord Li seems to have been grasping the big and letting go of the small since the court dispute, only fighting with the elders of the pavilions, and ignoring others, but now he is abnormally impeaching Wang Yushi. There are also so many empty charges temporarily, and it seems that it is really urgent. Besides, it is the duty of the Taoist official to hear about things, is it a bit out of bounds for you to say these things for no reason?

Li You continued: "The minister went to the teaching workshop to collect wind and saw the musician Cheng's daughter, but learned an interesting story. She claimed to be the daughter of a salt merchant, and a few years ago she was framed by the fourth son of Peng Chunshi, a scholar of Wuyingdian University, and her family was ruined! ”

Peng Ge Lao was originally with a hint of ridicule, but when he suddenly heard his name, he suddenly changed color. To be honest, he didn't know about it, but he knew a little about the conduct of these four sons, and it was not surprising that something like that happened.

What's even more peculiar is that Wang Qinian is an old friend of her family, but he didn't help, and only instigated her to tell the minister about it! The minister is ignorant and ignorant, and he can't figure out the secrets! ”

"There are two points that are unclear, one of them is that the Metropolitan Procuratorate is one of the three legal divisions, and the imperial history can supervise hundreds of bureaucrats, Wang Qinian already knew about this matter back then, why didn't he picket this case as the imperial historian? Second, since Wang Yushi knew the inside story, why did he instruct the bitter lord to inform his subordinates, an unrelated person, of this matter? The minister is not a criminal officer. ”

"Therefore, the minister dared to impeach Wang Qinian, who was sinister, derelict in his duties, and bent the law, how could he continue to stand in the temple!"

Hearing this, Wang Qinian, who was already triumphant in the spring breeze, was unprepared, dizzy for a while, and almost unsteady on his feet. The case is indeed evidence, the little lady of the Cheng family and Qin Sile just need to state it truthfully, and they shouldn't show any horses, how could Li You suspect himself?

Everyone is not stupid, if Li You's statement is true, Wang Qinian's motive for committing the crime can be guessed a few points casually. Sending the black materials of Peng Ge's hometown to Peng Ge's old opponent, what kind of surname is this behavior, do you still need to think about it?

Sure enough, the excitement was ahead, but when it was about to end, such a shocking scene broke out, and the audience in the hall became excited again, and there was a noisy scene. Lunch is nothing in comparison, is Li You not satisfied with only winning the best actor, and still wants to win the best director?

Peng Ge Lao was also in a hurry, although Li You was hateful with sharp teeth and sharp mouth, if he was not a little sure, he would definitely not dare to talk nonsense here. Thinking of this, Peng Ge Lao stared at Wang Qinian fiercely, eager to eat him.

A question came from behind the bead curtain on His Majesty: "Is there any evidence?" ”

Li You copied the salt quotation from his sleeve and handed it to the internal supervisor. He also said: "Back then, the four sons of the Peng family framed the Cheng family for the crime of counterfeiting salt to lead the private salt, which is part of the real salt that the Cheng family has hidden so far. Cheng's daughter still has more than 1,000 citations in her hands, which is enough evidence to overturn the old case. ”

The Empress Dowager Cisheng said: "In front of the palace, the Jinyi guard will go to the teaching workshop to teach the daughter of the Cheng family and the surname of Qin!" ”

It's over... Wang Qinian was completely stunned, he knew that it was useless to quibble.

Looking at Wang Qinian's expression, in fact, most people already believed what Li You said at this time.

This big case is actually two cases, one is that the four sons of the Peng family are evil, but there is no need to worry, you can investigate slowly. The other is that Wang Qinian, as the imperial historian, is derelict in his duties, and there is a suspicion of deliberately framing the minister, which is the top priority.

As for the teacher he betrayed, the master of the sect, Peng Gelao, belongs to the category of morality, but in these years, morality can sometimes replace the law.

I think that at the beginning, if Wang Qinian had told Li You these black materials in a bright way, Li You might have to thank him. At this time, when I can't return to the sky, I guess I will be honest and benevolent.

But Wang Yushi was sneaky and tried to hide himself, which made Master Li very vigilant. With the principle that he would rather kill by mistake than let go, he desperately pulled Wang Yushi into the water. Anyway, it's not an ally that you can identify, so you can kill it with your hands.

It's a pity that Mr. Wang Qinian is too clever to calculate, and his cleverness is mistaken by cleverness. When a person who thinks he is smart meets a suspicious and thoughtful person who is not a gentleman, it can only be said that he has really met the nemesis of fate.

Li You secretly wiped his sweat, if he hadn't noticed something strange, he was afraid that he would have been complacent and sued Peng Ge for being old, but at that time, he would have fallen into Wang Qinian's favor. Suspicion doesn't seem to be a bad thing, and it has to be carried forward in the future... Elder Yang Ge, a scholar of Dongge University, suddenly remembered something, his eyes lit up, and he said: "This court push Wang Qinian should be abolished." ”

The Queen Mother nodded and said, "Yes!" ”

Then Yang Ge asked Xu Tianguan in a confused way: "According to the old law, after the main recommendation is abolished in the results of the court push, it will be supplemented by the escort push. Who is the second escort this court push? ”

Xu Tianguan couldn't laugh and read out a well-known name: "The second is Li You." ”

More than 100 people in the hall exclaimed in unison, it is common for salted fish to turn over, but this time it turned too fast, right? It's just a blink of an eye.

After tossing for a long time, Li You has changed from a ministry election official in the dark, but has become a court promoter who has been expected to be a court promoter with countless grades higher? Wouldn't that make the waist stiffer? How did this come to be?

Li You was also dumbfounded. All of this is providential, do all traversers have a destiny?
