Chapter 456: There is little hope
Let's set sail and invite you to sign in together (cheer for the sailing)
γSet SailγOfficial YY: 208714, welcome everyone!
In the face of this obvious focus of the battle, if it had been placed in the past, Master Li would have looked forward and backwards, and hid if he could, and was reluctant to take the initiative to cause trouble unless he was forcibly pushed out. After all, at that time, he always regarded himself as a rootless duckweed, and he didn't want to bear the wind and waves.
But now, instead of backing down, he wants to rise to the occasion. On the one hand, if you have a foundation, you will have confidence, and at worst, you will have a golden book and iron coupon to keep your net worth; On the other hand, after more than a year of tempering in the position of local seal official, he has developed an enterprising temperament and mentality. In his joking words to the eldest princess, who in this world has a more long-term vision than him?
Walking out of the gate of the military department, Master Li surged with the pride of "although tens of millions of people are going to me". Whether he succeeds in seizing this official position or not is equivalent to his spring and fortune, and if he loses this opportunity, he has no hope of breaking the invisible ceiling above his head for the rest of his life. No matter how difficult it is, one must always do something that is right for oneself.
After leaving the military department, Master Li went south and entered the Ministry of Rites, and the target was naturally Mr. Zhu Fanghe, a member of the ceremonial department.
Zhu Bulang was overjoyed when he saw Li You and said, "When did Brother Xian return to Beijing?" I'm going to have a drink tonight. β
Li You hurriedly shook his hand, "Not tonight, I still need to visit some old adults." β
Mr. Fanghe said: "I see, the virtuous brother returned to Beijing to elect officials, and it was at a critical time, so he naturally had no intention of indulging, and the drunkard's intention was not here!" β
"I heard that Our Lady sent an edict to the court to argue and push, and came down to ask for a lesson or two, what kind of ritual is this, so I can be prepared."
Zhu Fanghe thought for a while and said: "Actually, it's just a different kind of court push, but a few of you are allowed to be in the court to show yourself, didn't you experience it last time." β
What Zhu Fanghe said was the court push that Li You miraculously killed Wang Qinian the year before last and replaced him.
Li You smiled bitterly: "That time was really confusing, and I was selected for some reason." It's really not clear what the situation is in Tingtui, and I would like to take advantage of your Daming Huidian to read it, and I will study it carefully. β
Zhu Fanghe got up and went elsewhere, and after a while, he came back with a book and handed it to Li Youdao: "This is one of the volumes of the Ming Huidian, which contains matters for the court, go back and read it yourself, don't damage it." β
Li You thanked him, chatted a few more words, and left after the appointment. He didn't go home like this, and continued to go around the Sixth Department and the General Administration Department, and visited a few people who could still speak, all of whom came and went from time to time when they were doing the book of the sub-votes.
By the end of the trip, it was already dusk, and Master Li Shi Shiran returned home. After dinner, he went to visit the house of Xu Cifu, a scholar of the Jianji Temple, and was able to be summoned.
It's still in that study, where I've been summoned countless times late at night to meet and plot. Xu Cifu leaned back on the bamboo chair slightly tired and nodded to Li You.
Li You thought, now Xu Cifu is also his teacher's teacher, and he is a bachelor in the central secret, which is very tentative value. He boldly asked: "From what the boss sees, how likely is it that the younger generation will succeed this time?" β
"Are you referring to the Imperial Envoy of the Right Commander of the Five Rank Inspection School, and the Commander of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses?" Xu Cifu asked lightly.
Li You heard the official name of this official position for the first time and hurriedly remembered it in his heart, since it came out of the mouth of the scholar, it was probably the final decision.
"I don't really advocate that what happens if you don't participate, what if you don't succeed? Even if he is selected, in today's situation, it is likely to be the beginning of trouble. Of course, I don't object to you fighting, but I just want to tell you that you don't take this matter too seriously, because I don't think you have much hope of being selected. ββ¦,
Li You was unconvinced and said: "Is there no hope?" β
"If it's the Holy Lord's Special Jane or the Ministry, it can still work, but Tingtui... You've got a lot of enemies. Among the six scholars, there must be four who want to get rid of you, with this wind direction, there is no need for others to offend people, and they will follow the general trend, how can you be selected? The year before last, you were pushed by the court to be a fluke like the book in the split vote, which is something that can be encountered but not sought. β
Seeing that Li You was silent, Xu Cifu enlightened again: "Before you entered Beijing, for the first three court promotions for this official position, it was not you who were selected, but I don't know why the Holy Lord stayed in the middle and didn't send it. This time, I will draw a scoop according to the gourd, and ask you to present yourself in the court, I guess it is still a formality, how can it become that you are selected? And cheer up, there are so many official positions in Beijing, and your position is indispensable, you can rest assured of this. Besides, it's not necessarily a bad thing to sit on the sidelines. β
The cabinet is now a three-legged stand, Qingfu Xu Ge Lao and Wu Yingdian University Shi Peng Ge Lao on the one side, the second assistant Xu Ge Lao and Wenyuan Pavilion University Shi Yang Ge on the one side, Wenhuadian University Scholar Yuan Ge Lao and Dongge University Shijin Ge Lao on the other.
In this regard, Li You sighed for a long time, others may have offended one party, but they have saved the face of the other two parties. Only if you are at the same time with two parties, in a scene like Tingtui, where you look at the number of people, and others don't want to offend four scholars at the same time, you will suffer a lot. The words "harmony" and "eight-sided exquisiteness" really have their subtleties.
can't hear the good news from other people's mouths, Li You can not care, because there is still Xu Cifu, the hardest backer, to count on.
But he didn't get any good news from Xu Cifu, so he was really disappointed.
There are three ways to confer official positions, special Jane, ministry push, and court push, he originally thought that the eldest princess of Guide would lobby the queen mother, and he would be done, and he would wait to take office.
Even if the Empress Dowager Qian is embarrassed and unwilling to be simple, then she can also use the normal ministry to push and select herself through Zuo Langzhong and Zhao Tianguan of the Ministry of Officials, as long as the Queen Mother pretends to be confused and does not veto.
But Li You didn't expect the Queen Mother to actually issue an edict to push the court, he turned around today to inquire about the news, and now he is becoming less and less optimistic, and finds that his wish is really likely to be disappointed.
Who else can be counted on? As a backer, the eldest princess of Guide cannot help openly, and on occasions like Tingtui, there are great limitations.
In the end, Master Li sighed with emotion, it is better to rely on oneself than to rely on heaven and earth, and what a person can count on in times of difficulty is ultimately himself.
However, Li You has never figured out one thing, since the Queen Mother has been pushed by the edict, why did she push the court three times in a month, but the results were not released?
Go home and sleep, and have no words all night. The next day, Li You sat in the hall in a daze, not knowing what to do.
When he was about to go out to recognize the door with his neighbors, suddenly an inner supervisor came to the door to deliver a message, and the eldest princess of Guide summoned him.
This was also expected by Lord Li, and before His Royal Highness Chitose left, he promised to promote him to serve as the "Imperial Envoy of the Right Commander of the Inspectorate and the Commander of the Five Cities of Soldiers and Horses". As a result, things seem to be a mess, and with the personality of the eldest princess of Guide, she must be clear in person, and she will not avoid it with a weak heart.
The sky was bright and bright, and he didn't plan to do anything inappropriate for children, so Li You had no scruples and was led into the front hall of the mansion of the eldest princess of the Ten Princes' Mansion.
Just like when they met for the first time, Li You answered His Royal Highness Chitose through the marble screen in a serious manner, and it was spread out so that people couldn't find any reason. It's just that all the inner prison maids were kicked out.
There was silence behind the screen for a long time, and a sentence came out: "You better give up, don't participate anymore." β
Li You immediately said unpleasantly: "You called me here for this?" It is enough for an inner supervisor to pass on the word! I can tell you that what I believe in will stick to the end of what I say. ββ¦,
In fact, the spirit of not admitting defeat in Master Li is very valuable and is a major factor in success. Many people think that he is lucky, but in many things, if he doesn't even have the courage to fight to the end, where is the luck and turnaround?
Of course, the eldest princess knew how eager her lover was for this right-hand inspector who could advance to Qingliu, so she didn't get angry at Li You's rudeness, and patiently explained: "This matter was as simple as I thought at first, and it should only be an ordinary official position. But I didn't expect that the queen mother's mind was very deep, and even I lied. β
Li You said angrily disdainfully, "What else can you think?" The courtiers have seen it, right? It is nothing more than using this matter as a means of fighting for the court. β
The eldest princess of Guide continued to say with great restraint: "I can tell you that the queen mother is indeed bent on reforming the situation of the dynasty now. The results of the three imperial court inspections and the imperial envoys of the right side of the school were not released, and I did my best. β
Li You felt that there was something wrong with his tone, even if things didn't go well, he couldn't vent with the eldest princess, in case he provoked her to be angry and pushed this gorgeous screen to pieces. He sighed a little softly and said, "Thank you, Your Highness, I understand it." β
"The queen mother is ostensibly giving in to me, but I'm sure she's still making some moves, just waiting for the right moment. In any case, her purpose must be to take this opportunity to cheer up the Xun Qi and at the same time strike at the momentum of the Wenchen. With this premise, the queen mother will never let you, a famous Wenchen, serve as the imperial envoy of the right capital of the school, and she can even do it at any cost, and I am helpless for a while. β
Li You was puzzled: "In addition to me, I heard that two are candidates for honor, and two are candidates for civil officials, how does Our Lady ensure that the people you like are selected when the court pushes?" There were so many courtiers that she couldn't easily manipulate. β
"I don't know, the queen mother definitely has a backhand, but even I didn't tell it. If an official position originally created to curb the lawlessness of the honorable relatives ends up in the hands of the honorable relatives, it will play a very delicate role in the current situation and people's hearts. β
Li You finally asked, "Then who do you want to be selected?" β
The eldest princess of Guide replied very honestly: "If you can't do it, then I naturally expect the victory of the Xun family, otherwise it will be difficult for the civil officials to control it." But don't worry, even if you can't be the imperial envoy of the right side of the school, I can give you a good official position. β
Another one promised him a position, it seems that he really doesn't have to worry about getting married, Li You smiled bitterly a few times, and put cruel words on his lips, "Don't say that men can't do it, until the end, it is not known who will kill the deer!" β
The more he learned about it, the more he felt that the water was getting deeper and deeper, and the Queen Mother was really ruthless...... Bring the fat duck girl that the master owes me to update
Bring a soft and easy to pinch with a cute and cute Yi Xin
