Fengyang Governor Yang Cheng Yang Futai ran to Xuyi, of course, not only to confront Li You, but also to inspect the ancestral tomb embankment, which is a must.

On September 28, Yang Futai returned to Xuyi from the ancestral tomb, and this main trip came to an end. Now all he is thinking about is how to surrender Li You, and he will be rewarded for his merits in the court and the middle of the court, and the rest are trivial matters.

This Yang Futai was born in a wealthy family, and his actions were still too indecisive, just like he hesitated to release the flood in time when he faced the flood. This time, he not only wanted to snatch credit from Li You, but also worried about offending Li You's backstage, so he always wanted to do things smoothly and ask Li You to honestly take the credit, but he didn't know that this was almost an impossible task.

In fact, it is very simple, Lord Yang can completely use the authority of the feudal officials to find a point to rectify Li You, and even take extraordinary measures to temporarily detain Li You, even if it incurs criticism from the government and the opposition, it doesn't matter. In this case, Li You, who is trapped in a cage, is busy saving himself, will he still be in the mood to compete with him?

Of course, the consequences of doing so must be extremely serious, but if the child can't catch the wolf, if the great merit of saving the ancestral tomb is in hand, what else can't be given up? Sometimes you can't do it without a little courage.

All in all, if you become the opposite of Li You, the way with the highest success rate (not necessarily successful) is to use the power to press each other simply and rudely, and playing with your heart, fighting scheming, and playing tricks are mostly failures.

Regarding this, the one who has the deepest experience is a certain eldest princess, who was basically ineffective when money and beauty went into battle with fame and fortune, and in the end, it was still poisonous wine that worked, at least scared someone much more honestly.

After docking at the wharf outside the west gate of Xuyi, Yang Futai had just gotten off the boat, and suddenly more than two or three hundred people rushed up, and the group blocked him and his entourage on the shore.

made Yang Futai feel shocked in his heart, is this a civil uprising?

There was even an old man who was over the age of sixteen squeezed in front of the governor, knelt down, raised the document with both hands, and said loudly: "The old man of Futai is above, and the small people and others have a pleading!" ”

It turned out that he was shouting an unjust complaint, and Yang Futai frowned slightly. Under normal circumstances, the Governor would be obedient and would not easily let others get close. When it was time to disembark, the scene was slightly chaotic, and the shore was narrow, and the slightest relaxation was surrounded and complained.

Normally, this kind of illegal complaint is ignored, but Yang Futai was pounced on by the old man, and the outside was surrounded again, so he said: "The imperial court has its own place to guard officials, and if there is a grievance, you can go to the county government to file a complaint."

The old man shouted: "We are all the people of Sizhou, and now that the state city is destroyed, I don't know where to file a complaint?" If the lord doesn't accept it, I will have nowhere to reason! ”

Seeing that there were many people and did not retreat, Yang Futai took the form and flipped through it, but it was okay not to look at it, and threw it back as soon as he saw it. It turned out that these Sizhou people sued Li You for breaking the embankment and flooding the city, and asked the court to dispose of Li You!

This Li You is really enough to attract the hatred of Sizhou people... The Governor thought. From a personal point of view, he is happy to see this, but as a second-class feudal territory, he must pay attention to political correctness in public. What was done in order to save the ancestral tomb, as long as the Son of Heaven is still surnamed Zhu, it is unshakably politically correct, how can it be possible to review Li You for this?

Seeing that the governor did not want to accept it, the old man howled and cried: "The lives of my hometown are ruined, the homes are destroyed, the people are displaced, there is no land to rely on, and they sleep and beg for food, all of which are Li You's crimes!" ”

Dozens of people knelt down and shouted, "Please master Futai make the decision for us!" Give me justice to the people of Sizhou! ”

Hearing the news, the Sizhou people gathered more and more, and surrounded the shore.

Of course, Yang Futai knew that this case would never be accepted, but now these Sizhou people were excited, and if they refused too bluntly, they were afraid that they would cause chaos. After thinking about it, he had to say: "The official will accept the form first, and how to wait for the smell." ”

He only said that he had accepted it, but he didn't say that he had accepted it, let alone accepted it, and he was only trying to relieve the siege.

In this way, the crowd reluctantly gave way to the road, but many Sizhou people still eagerly followed the governor's guard of honor and lingered until they reached the governor's line, that is, the county mansion.

Yang Fu got off the sedan chair, and saw the people of Sizhou kneeling on the ground and shouting, pleading with him to make decisions for the people. Lord Yang could only shake his head at this, it was useless.

In the study, Yang Futai had just drunk a few sips of tea to quench his thirst, when he heard a report from his entourage that Li You had come to visit. It happened that Yang Futai also wanted to talk to Li You again, so he sent a message to bring Li You in.

But seeing that Li You entered the study in a six-grade crown uniform, without saying a word, he first exempted himself from the crown, and then paused and said: "I heard that Dazhong Cheng received the pleadings of the people of Sizhou, and the lower officials came to wait for the crime to be tried!" So as not to embarrass Dazhongcheng! ”

Are you fooling the official and trying to trick the official into falling for you? Hearing this, Yang Futai sneered coldly, and he saw through this trick at a glance.

As long as he dares to arrest Li You for interrogation on the basis of this situation, it may not be called an interrogation, but it should be called an interrogation or inquiry, then he will be the governor of the end. So this state doesn't go into the program at all.

Thinking of this, Yang Futai kept his mouth shut and didn't mention it, only talking about the ancestral tomb.

Li You was not vain, and said very neatly: "Life is in the world, but the picture is only to seal the wife and the shadow of the son for a hundred generations!" The lower officials guarded the embankment for a month, experienced hardships in eating, drinking, and dew, and once wanted to die to serve the country when they were in a hurry, so they had this merit that they almost exchanged their lives for. Dazhong Cheng is clever and arrogant, how can he bear it! ”

Li You's words were extremely polite, not at all like the tone of a sixth-grade subordinate to a second-grade boss, and he bluntly broke the other party's desire to fight for merit.

This completely angered Yang Futai, who couldn't hold his face, and said angrily: "You are presumptuous! ”

Master Li did not retreat, still chattering to himself.

It's too arrogant, it's too arrogant, Yang Futai shouted outside the door, "Fork me out left and right... Hurry up! ”

He still had his senses, and forcibly held back the word "typing". Now is not the time to make a move on Li You, maybe Li You deliberately used a trick to seduce him, so he can't be fooled.

Several of the governor's own soldiers poured in, grabbed Lord Li and dragged him towards the gate, until he reached the porch, and then threw the embarrassed Lord Li out... And turn the camera to the Beijing division at the end of September and the beginning of October, during this time, the Fengyang Governor and Yangzhou Tongju Li You were a relatively hot topic in the court that had been quiet for more than half a year, and was even compared by some bad people with malice to Zhonghui Deng Ai and the two soldiers to fight for merit.

This matter must be decided by the imperial court, but there has been endless debate at the court meeting held specifically for this matter that day, and there is no relatively unanimous opinion between the scholar and Jiuqing. Although this thing is false, it is too important to say that it is important. Superstitious thoughts, what if you get the wrong person and bad luck? What should the ancestors do if they are unhappy and send down heavenly punishments?

However, the court has a lot of practical matters to deal with, and it can't be delayed for these overly ideological retreats, so it didn't hold a court meeting specifically for the two of them to compete for merit. It's just that after discussing other matters at each court meeting or court meeting, I discuss this matter by the way, and there is no result for several times in a row.

In the beginning, the governor of Fengyang had an advantage for various reasons.

However, the eunuch Hai Gonggong of the tomb guarded the second letter and carefully analyzed the significance of the flood discharge of the Sizhou embankment. He also pointed out that the decisive sacrifice of Sizhou is the cornerstone of the ancestral tomb's rescue, and if the Sizhou area is not turned into a flood channel, which fundamentally reduces the pressure on the ancestral tomb embankment, the rest is impossible to talk about.

Since then, the situation has changed a little, and the balance has gradually tilted towards Li You, and he has leveled with the governor of Fengyang.

The smart people in the court are aware of it, why is Li You, who can speak well, not written so far? This is a big deal about him, can he hold back his oversized mouth cannon and not speak?

On the sixth day of October, after the early morning of the court, the Empress Dowager Cisheng Imperial Wuying Hall inspected the matter.

The envoy held a stack of recitals and said: "The two have received several envelopes in a row, all of which are related to the ancestral tombs, and the ministers are respectful to play together." ”

Suddenly, the eyes of the whole hall looked at the several notebooks in his hand, and the Empress Dowager Qian asked expectantly, "Is there that Li You?" ”

"Still not." The envoy regretted it.

If it was Li You's recital, Empress Dowager Qian would definitely have read it first. But if it's not, she doesn't care, so she instructs: "Read! ”

"First, thirty-two people of the Sizhou gentry, military and civilians jointly impeached Li Youshu... Overnight, the land of my hometown was full of floods, and I climbed high and looked at it like the sea. The people of the same country fled to all directions, starved and cold, life and death were not guaranteed, there was no way out, there was no home, they had experienced miserable eyes, and they were heartbroken... The culprits of the Dharma are not enough to make the people angry..."

The princes in the palace didn't react when they heard it, there were too many natural disasters and tragedies in various places, and Sizhou was quite good this time because of the preparations in advance. Based on experience, there may also be exaggerated statements to accuse Li You. And this concert doesn't work at all, it can only be seen as a vent for the people of Sizhou, but it's hard to be scolded for this Li You.

"Second, Xuyi Zhixian reported that Li You was assassinated... Between words and laughter, he suddenly encountered a golden hairpin throat, which was dangerous and dangerous, and it was found to be a remnant of Sizhou, and it was also a partial house for Wang Mou, the governor of Sizhou..."

When the ministers in the palace heard this, they exchanged their heads and ears, but they really didn't expect Li You to be assassinated, this encounter was thrilling enough. It's understandable to vent and have grievances, but it's a bit too much.

The political envoy picked up the third book and continued to read: "Third, Xuyi Zhixian reported that Li You was missing... The people of Sizhou gathered and sued Li You. When Li You heard that Futai had received the complaint, he went to Xingyuan to plead guilty, and reasoned with Futai, but for some reason he was thrown out of the gate without a crown. At that time, there were many people of Sizhou outside the door, Li You and the left and right guards were deeply trapped in it, and they were tragically besieged.

At this point, the whole hall was in an uproar, and there were noisy voices one after another. actually made such a big incident, and the people of Sizhou are too strong, and they dare to openly hijack the court officials outside the governor's line! Want to rebel? That Li You guarded the mausoleum, and he really did his best, and he almost died...
