After the father-in-law who was in charge of escorting the movable type spit out the origin of the Ouchi Economic Factory, he stopped talking, and that was enough.

In the dynasty, if you talk about the most powerful yamen in the Ouchi, the celebrant deserves to be selected. However, in the beginning, when the celebrant had not yet become an internal minister, he was theoretically only an institution in charge of palace Chinese books, books, and ceremonies, and there was a warp factory under it that was responsible for the affairs of Ouchi printing books.

Therefore, this warp factory is equivalent to the royal printing house, located in the northeast corner of the imperial city, but compared with its supervisor, the Yamen Celebrant Supervisor, it seems very obscure, and compared with the clerical room of another internal institution of the Celebrant Supervisor, it is even more heaven and earth.

Although the head of the Daxing County government service team who stopped the movable type convoy did not necessarily know what the factory was, there were three points that he understood.

First, the white-faced middle-aged man said that he was "Ouchi" economic factory, and he hung the word Ouchi, which was not something that he, a small servant team, could provoke; Second, in the capital known as a certain factory, it is often subordinate to the palace, what East Factory, West Factory, Wang Gong Factory, etc.; Third, this middle-aged man has a white face and is obviously a father-in-law.

Actually stopped the items in the palace? The squad leader immediately broke out in a cold sweat. Some people say that there is movable type transported here in the evening, and the county magistrate sent himself to check and ban, and he didn't expect it to be an item in the palace, which is a premature life!

One side wants to transport movable type to the past, and the other side wants to ban movable type, which must be a legendary high-level struggle in the court, and it also involves the palace where human life is like paper, and his own little fish and shrimp are innocently and pitifully involved! I'm afraid that even the lord of his own county who hastily issued a ban is also a victim! The head of the team thought in a panic.

The water is deep! Faced with this critical juncture, how should you choose? The head of a certain team of Daxing County officials fell into a deep painful entanglement.

Is it to resolutely and strictly enforce the law, go all the way to the black, and strive to be more dangerous and safer, and win the favor and rewards of your own bosses? Or in front of this cold-looking father-in-law, he saw the wind and steered the rudder, and exposed the fact that his own county magistrate was instructed by others to issue a ban?

Both options have the potential to be beneficial, but both are also likely to cost lives, and it's hard to decide. The team leader couldn't help but frown and sigh, but he still hesitated after only half an hour.

A small official next to him tugged at the sleeve of the squad leader. Whispered: "Uncle? Uncle? ”

"What is it called! The stakes are high, don't you see me meditating! The squad leader turned around and scolded.

The little servant pointed to the distance and said, "But those carriages have already gone away, uncle, what are you still doing in a daze?" ”

The team leader looked up, and sure enough, the carriages had left the intersection and walked dozens of feet away. He was completely ignored for the sake of major decisions! That father-in-law doesn't have such a role as him in his heart!

The head of the team felt ashamed, but he was a little lucky, and repeatedly recited a few words in his heart, "It's okay if Amitabha Buddha is ignored, this fate is saved." After that, he commanded one of his fastest men; "Hurry up and report to the Yamen!"

The magistrate of Daxing County, the eastern city of Beijing, heard the news. The anger and horror of renunciation! He is regarded as Yuan Ge's old protégé. That's why he works so hard, and he just uses himself as a gunman, who is called in the capital full of powerful people. As far as he is concerned, the county magistrate of Beijing County is the most sesame. But you can't be so tricky, and you actually instigate him to intercept the items in the palace for no reason!

But anger is anger, reality is reality. Anger can soar to the sky, but it must always fall back to the ground... Daxing Zhixian still quickly relayed the news to Yuan Ge Lao, to see how Ge Lao dealt with it.

When the news was delivered to Yuan's mansion, Yuan Ge Lao was entrusted by others to splash ink and write a plaque. Hearing the report in his ears, in addition to shock or shock, in a daze, the pen in his hand quietly fell without noticing.

When the elders of other families encounter a similar situation, they may not be so alarmed, and they will only offend the palace a little. It can't shake the foundation of Minister Zaifu.

But Yuan Ge is different, he did not rely on the much-expected court push, but relied on the Son of Heaven Jian Ba to ascend, he is the closest to the Son of Heaven among the scholars, recognized as the emperor party, and secretly often has the ridicule of "welcoming the Son of Heaven".

Therefore, the trust of the Son of Heaven is the lifeline of Yuan Ge Lao and the source of power in his hands. Anything that could lead to a fall out of favor was enough to scare him. For example, this time he cast a big net and almost intercepted the items in the palace...

He finally remembered that Emperor Gaozong had made three or four hundred thousand copper movable characters a few decades ago, and some of them were given to Guozijian. Some of them remained in the factory.

He knew about the anecdote, but he hadn't thought about it before. He only guessed that Li You might have bought movable type in the market or smuggled movable type in Guozijian. I never thought that the movable type used by Li You was transported from the palace! Even now, I still think it's incredible.

What about the incredible? This time, Li You just used the movable type stored in the palace! Something seems to be revealed in it...

Although the Son of Heaven did not openly issue an edict with great fanfare that the surviving characters in the inner character library would be given to Li You to use, it seemed that it was just a low-key shipment, if it wasn't for the fact that he sent someone to meet it by mistake, he was afraid that it would also be hidden in the dark.

But if the Son of Heaven personally nodded and agreed, those fathers-in-law would not have the courage to transport the movable type away and give it to Li You to use? If there is no personal consent from the Son of Heaven, then Li You would not dare to accept it knowing that it is a thing in the palace?

Therefore, from all kinds of signs, Yuan Ge Lao came to a conclusion that Li You must have the royal instructions behind the name of a private newspaper this time, but he just didn't say it publicly, this is Li You's greatest confidence!

From the above conclusion, Yuan Ge Lao drew another inference, this time he could only endure it, and he couldn't afford to provoke Li You to provoke the Son of Heaven. The bigwigs are fighting for the newspaper, it's hard to say that it won't also attract the attention of the Son of Heaven, maybe Li You just wants to blackmail the Son of Heaven to order the princes, he is against it, and he is unlucky.

What also made Yuan Ge slightly entangled was that the Son of Heaven actually didn't tell him about such a thing, preferring to trust Li You, with a faint sense of loss and sadness. Could it be that he is too old, and the Son of Heaven likes young people?

Just as Yuan Ge was sitting quietly in the study, pondering the emperor's thoughts repeatedly, someone interrupted his contemplation and reported: "Lord You of Honglu Temple came to see him again, and he looked very anxious. ”

Yuan Ge was suspicious, what was the matter with him? Could it be that he also knew about Li You's use of the words in the palace from other sources? If so, he should also be anxious, after all, it was he who personally exposed the report, causing Daxing County to send officials to intercept and investigate his responsibility, and he bore the brunt.

In order to appease people's hearts, Yuan Ge Lao had no choice but to cheer up and invite You Shaoqing in. And give the seat tea. The more times like this, the more we must pay attention to etiquette, for fear that if you are a little inconsiderate, you will be over-interpreted by the other party and cause countless cranky thoughts.

You Shaoqing didn't have the heart to taste the tea, so he took a shallow sip, put down the teacup, and said to the elder of the pavilion: "The lower official has a year in the official department, and today I sent a message to the lower official. The Tao is now the prefect of Guilin Prefecture in Guangxi, Wu Sheng, who has entered the Beijing Dynasty to participate in and assess. So this Guilin Mansion is vacant. And when it comes to the next general election. When the Ministry of Literature and Literature Division drew up the list, it was necessary to promote the lower officials to the prefect of Guilin Prefecture. ”

Honglu Temple Shaoqing is the fifth product, and the prefect of Guilin Mansion is the fourth product. Five products become four products, and it is really "literal" in the literal sense. But when You Shaoqing said the word "sheng", his face was full of bitterness. There was no joy.

Yuan Ge Lao understood his expression very well.

Not to mention the difference between Beijing officials and foreign officials, and the academic question of whether Beijing officials are considered to be promoted when they arrive in the local area, which has been described in detail in the previous article.

Let's just say that Guangxi is a border wasteland of the same level as Yunnan and Guizhou (but it must be admitted that Guangxi is slightly better than Yungui), and the Yao people have a lot of chaos, so it is really not a good place to be a peace officer.

The dynasty also has a peculiar tradition, as long as the election officials go to the provinces with the word "west", most of them are bitter places, and Guangxi is one of them.

In other words. The five-rank Beijing official went to Guangxi, and according to the rules, he should at least be given a third-grade political participation to barely make up for the trauma of going to the frontier, and the promotion of the fourth-grade prefect is actually similar to derogation.

Of course, the reasons given by the officials are absolutely high-sounding, such as the loyalty of a certain person to his duties, diligence, and achievements, such a capable minister should be sent to the herdsmen to show His Majesty's kindness to the people. Presumably, this is the blessing of Guilin...

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that what happened to Lord You can easily be linked to the incident of him crushing the official documents of the Ministry of Officials yesterday, which is a bit of a self-inflicted blame.

Official procedures are still different from private operations, and private operations can be forgiven even if they are noisy and sloppy, and they are also acceptable in officialdom. The dark box operation is inherently unsightly, and it is normal for a little unsightly thing to be seen.

But it went into a business-like process. It's a different nature, it means the bureaucratic machine is working, and everyone has to deal with it according to the established procedures, unless you are powerful enough to get rid of the shackles of the procedures.

In front of his colleagues, like Lord You, he rubbed the official documents of the officials and stepped on the soles of his feet as a five-grade person, which can be described as a brain-dead, and no matter how much he was retaliated against, no one would sympathize. Although he didn't mean it, a mistake is a mistake, and the program won't reason with you.

When Li You first entered the palace as a book, the young and frivolous handsome threw the poster of the Metropolitan Procuratorate into the Jinshui River, causing a big storm and becoming the fuse of a court dispute, which also included this factor.

Hearing what happened to You Shaoqing, Yuan Ge Lao said first: "Then I have heard of Wu Sheng. In the past, he offended the powerful and was sent to Guangxi, and now his term of office has expired..."

But he kept thinking left and right in his mind, this matter is inseparable from Li You, and it should be connected with today's interception of the copper movable type in the palace. With Li You's scheming, he is by no means a person who has no purpose for no reason, his main concern at present must be to run a newspaper, and he will not make extraneous branches for no reason.

Yuan Ge Lao had to admit that Li You had become instinctive to dig pits and bury people and brush up his reputation, just like a master's move, not only the antelope hanging horns could not be found, but also flying flowers and picking leaves could hurt people.

Yesterday, Li You casually dug a pit, and he killed You Shaoqing miserably, and today he is about to bury You Shaoqing's future. And today, he dug another pit and harmed his own people to intercept the items in the palace and almost planted them.

However, it means that it was not planted, thanks to the sincerity and kindness of the father-in-law who escorted the goods. Otherwise, if he didn't say a word and allowed a few cars of copper movable type to be detained in the county government of Daxing County, it would be a big deal.

Yuan Ge knew that if he wanted to be more serious, instructing the county government to ban movable type was also suspected of not being very legal for private use of public instruments, and there were also deficiencies in reasoning. But if it doesn't involve the Son of Heaven, he can suppress it, and a Zaifu doesn't even have this bit of power, but when it comes to the Son of Heaven, he has no place to reason, and he can't reason with the Son of Heaven.

In fact, Yuan Ge Lao also knew that Li You showed mercy to his subordinates when digging the pit of copper movable type, and deliberately let himself go? Judging from Li You's ruthless style of struggle, it is very rare, so what does he mean? It must be a warning!

There is a repair of You Shaoqing in the front, and there is a pit digging in the back to catch and release Cao, which is a variant of grace and power. In addition, he deliberately revealed the background of the palace, the purpose of which was to warn himself not to continue to make trouble, and to go to one side of the avenue and run his own newspaper!

Thinking of this, Yuan Ge Lao sighed to You Shaoqing: "The water here is very deep, but if the old man can protect you, of course he will try his best to protect you, and you can rest assured for the time being." ”

This person can't help but protect it, the Manchu Dynasty knows that You Shaoqing was sent by himself to be the vice president of the newspaper, he didn't work for a few days, and he didn't commit any heinous crimes, so he was repaired by Li You to become the prefect of Guilin Mansion in Guangxi, so where to put his face?

Besides, if such a dedicated person allows himself to be degraded, then the other protégés will see it, won't they be chilled? When the people's hearts are scattered, the team is even more difficult to lead.

However, when he heard the sentence "water depth", You Shaoqing immediately broke out in a cold sweat, Yuan Ge Lao was already a scholar of Wenhuadian University and the third-ranked Zaifu, he said that the water was deep, how deep did it have to be? It's unimaginable for him, the fifth grade.

Yuan Ge Lao instructed again: "Today's interception of copper movable type, not half a word is allowed to be revealed!" It must be hidden, especially not to let Xu Ge Lao and Peng Ge Lao know! ”

Li You will dig a pit, he Yuan Lide will also dig a pit, today he knew the royal background of Li You's newspaper by mistake, but others don't know it yet.

The first assistant Xu Yue and the second assistant Peng Chunshi are both the same as their previous selves, and they have an extremely strong sense of vigilance against Li You's newspaper, so let Xu Yue and Peng Chunshi, two people who don't know the truth, go to fight the newspaper with Li You!

If any of those two people fell into bad luck, maybe he, the third scholar of 10,000 years who sat on the mountain and watched the tiger fight, could take a step forward. It's not easy, he has been a scholar of Wenhuadian University for more than ten years.

Although You Shaoqing is a whistleblower, he doesn't know the results and inside story of today's interception of copper movable type, but when he saw that Ge Lao spoke, he could only bury this matter in his heart and couldn't talk to anyone.

But then again, all kinds of situations are too complicated, Yuan Ge is old and lacks energy, and his mind is overused and calculating, so he still neglected to fall into Li You's pit for a while...
