Everyone remembered that the last time all the pavilion elders spoke of the word, it was still related to Li You. That time it was unanimously agreed to use Li You to try the two Huaiyan cases, and it is estimated that at least eighty percent of Peng Ge Lao's intestines were repentant at this time, and the criminal had not yet been executed, but Yan Shangshu's bachelor's position was confiscated.

Jinghe Tianzi woke up from his surprise, and in the face of the attitude of the five ministers, he could only make an order: "Please play, the admiral of the five cities will be exempted from the court, and the surrounding area of the imperial city will be customized on the day of the court." ”

In terms of motivation, each of the five scholars has their own motivations. Yuan Ge Lao, who raised this matter, probably wanted to be the son of heaven, and the position of the second assistant was in sight, so he wanted to preemptively isolate Li You and reduce the variables from Lu Ge Lao; Peng Ge Lao is revenge; Yang Ge Lao may be out of a protective mentality",

But was the result good or bad for Master Lee? Rao, the most experienced courtier, could not judge the consequences, because there had never been such a precedent.

It is not a trivial matter for a Beijing official to ask for exemption from the court. There are two situations in which the Beijing official is dealt with in this way, one is that he has made a mistake and is punished and exempted from thinking about it; One is the old and sick, who are given grace to avoid illness and recuperation. The disposition of Li You can be regarded as creating a third type.

It should be said that most of the time the Absolute Dynasty Invitation is regarded as a disguised punishment, but it is not a bad thing that Li You can be obscure while keeping his grade unchanged.

After all, all the courtiers now understand that in the past half a month, Li You first launched a big advice, and then it was easier to influence Zaifu, and for a five-pin product, the limelight was too strong. He should go to a low-key precipitation for a while, which is also to protect him.

But in any case, Master Li did not have any obvious faults, and he could even be said to have a small merit, but he was disposed of by a peerless court, or he was unanimously agreed, which is always a bit weird.

Calculating this gain and loss is very complicated, so it's better for him to slowly ponder and comprehend it himself, anyway, there are a lot of strange things about Lord Li.

After the dissolution of the court, it was the left capital Yushi Jiang Xinyue who brought the latest spirit of the imperial court back to the Imperial Court, and gloated to convey it to Li You in person.

It's not that he hates Li You so much, he really wants to see what kind of expression the seemingly invincible Lord Li has when he is in decline, but Jiang Zongxian still didn't see any tricks from Li You's expression.

But in the Imperial Procuratorate, Li You's encounter caused a lot of grievances from the young imperial history, but it was not of great use for the time being.

The inner court machine was once again running efficiently, and the next day Li You received a letter of edict, the content of which was similar to the message conveyed by Jiang Zongxian.

Lord Li smiled bitterly at this, and was really fooled by the eldest princess. The day before yesterday, the eldest princess hinted that she could help him operate and turn into the imperial envoy of the "left" of the school, but the result was still a "right"!

A layman may not understand the distinction between left and right, but as long as he understands that the country respects the left, the left is better than the right, and the left is higher than the right!

In the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the left prefix is a serious official who can go to the palace to discuss. The prefix on the right is only a fictitious title of the expatriate, Li You is in a special situation, and he is temporarily mixed in the Metropolitan Procuratorate without his own position.

Turn right to left, and wait for half a level to be promoted, how can it be so easy? Li You couldn't help but sneer, at that time, he felt that the eldest princess's hint was unreliable, and sure enough.

However, he has been with Guide Chitose for so long, and he knows that Guide Chitose will not deliberately lie to him. According to his guess, the eldest princess probably couldn't convince others, especially Yuan Gelao, the opponent, so he did this. After all, he has reached this position, and the higher he goes, the greater the difficulties.

After receiving the holy decree, he needed to thank Li You and write a draft. While writing, he sighed with emotion, everything is better than seeking oneself, and at the critical moment or he is the most reliable, it seems that the whole dynasty has forgotten one thing......,

Suddenly, a house slave came to deliver a message, and Li You took it to read it, and its content was "Before leaving, please meet tonight."

There was no signature, but Li You knew who it was, and when he looked at the sun, it was almost dusk. He went home first, changed into civilian clothes, and drove Jane quietly out of the door to a small mansion outside the Xi'an Gate.

This mansion is located in a quiet alley, and when he arrived at the door, Li You made sure that there were no acquaintances around, so he took a sedan chair and entered the gate directly. Immediately led to the flower hall in the side yard, there was good tea and water to entertain.

It didn't take long for the master to walk in, and Li You got up and bowed and said, "I've seen Master Hou." ”

The man also saluted: "No more courtesy, Lord Li, please take a seat." ”

This is none other than Li You's brother Xinning Hou Qiantai, who is called the Hou Ye by Li You.

Marquis Qian also sat down, drove all his subordinates out, and said to Li You: "I will go to Nanjing in a few days, Master Li should not forget what he entrusted." ”

Li You smiled, "There is also one last thing that needs to be done by the Hou Ye, and they can be exchanged with each other." ”

It is said that on August 28, when the Empress Dowager Qian issued a series of decrees and the ministers were in an uproar, the Marquis of Xinning entered the palace to advise the Empress Dowager not to go against the courtiers, but the Empress Dowager Qian angrily smashed it with a concert.

Xinninghou is different from his younger brother Qian An, he is very familiar with current affairs, and knows that if the Qian family (no matter which surname is Qian) completely angers the courtiers, sooner or later there will be bad luck, especially if the Empress Dowager Qian retires immediately, and if she does not handle it well, there will be endless troubles.

At that time, after the Marquis of Qian left the palace, he personally deigned to quietly negotiate with the key person Li You, and then interceded with the Queen Mother.

Xinninghou's original intention was to calm things down, but Li You immediately planned a package of plans, which made people want to stop.

The final two conditions are as follows:

Li You had to win the appointment of Wei Guogong's Governor of the Chinese Army, the Governor of Zuo, and the Governor of the Fifth Battalion of the Commander; The Marquis of Xinning was to serve as the coordinated garrison of Nanjing; Wei Guogong must not be pursued in the trial.

And Empress Dowager Qian has to act according to Li You's design and cooperate with Li You to brush up his fame; Retain the title of Imperial Envoy of Li Youjian's Right Command, and restore the position of Admiral of the Five Cities at an appropriate time.

So far, the deal has gone smoothly and everyone has gotten their money. But there is still one last condition to be met, and Xin Ninghou's meeting with Li You today is for this reason.

Li You confirmed: "Does Master Hou really plan to live in Nanjing for a long time? ”

Marquis Qian replied: "Ming people don't say secret words, the queen mother has delegated power and retired, it can be said that I am about to lose power." Staying in the capital city is a place of right and wrong, and staying away from right and wrong is the best strategy for Mingzhe to protect himself, otherwise he may be involved in the whirlpool at any time. Besides, I am from Bennan, and I want to go back to Jiangnan when I am old. ”

Nanjing's garrison and coordinated garrison are all served by the princess and the marquis according to the convention, and the new Ninghou went to rub a coordinated garrison position, which was barely said to be in the past.

Objectively speaking, Li You also thinks that the choice of Xinninghou is very wise, hiding in Nanjing is more leisurely than in Beijing, and when the cooperative garrison is also mixed qualifications, maybe one day he can also go to the palace to senate.

"Good! The official wrote a letter to the Jin family, and the Hou Ye could bring it to him. Li You nodded.

It turned out that Xin Ninghou got a 50,000 yuan gift from Jin Million, and he was happy, but he also had troubles.

With his status, it is inconvenient to come forward to run the salt industry, and it is not safe to use relatives for such a large business. First of all, none of the relatives were familiar with the southern salt industry; Secondly, his nest was not particularly legitimate, and it was not reasonable to be embezzled by his relatives.

I happened to hear that there were tenants in the salt industry, and Qian Houye thought about it. I want to continue to cooperate with the familiar Golden Million, let the Golden Million rent back these nests, and collect a fixed rent every year, so as to save worry and effort and not worry about losing money and not receiving money.

But this middleman has to rely on Li You to pull the strings, of course, in return, before leaving, Xin Ninghou will also help Li You promote one thing. This is the final element of this deal between them.
