Chapter 256: The Legend of Li Sanguan

Guide Chitose repeatedly said to Li Qingfu, "Today is not all the same, the terrain is different", which seems to be very reasonable. In the east room of the cabinet, Li Zhongshu sat steadily and confidently on the public seat, and he felt different from usual.

When he took office for the first time, he was more like a passer-by, and he broke in with curiosity about the center of the world. In fact, he was not confident in his background, and he didn't regard this place as a real place, so he almost carved a "Li You came here to visit" on the wall. So it's more presumptuous to make trouble, anyway, there are Xu Tianguan to take care of it, and when the trouble is out of control, he will change places and continue to be an official.

Now that the second Tingtui is on the throne, he suddenly cherishes the position under his buttocks, where can he find a Tingtui qualification if he loses it? No matter what official position you change, you will lose it.

After thinking twice, Li Zhongshu, who had an enhanced sense of belonging to the cabinet and a sense of ownership, remembered that he still had a "direct edict room" in his official position. But the room was in the East Pavilion, and he hardly entered the lobby because he had a single room. If you want to take root for a long time, it is not appropriate to break away from the masses... So Master Li got up, walked along the corridor to the main entrance of the East Pavilion, and opened the thick curtain to enter.

There are more than a dozen tables in the lobby, and at this time, there are about thirteen or fourteen people in the middle school, sitting and standing, chatting in groups, which is about the reason why there is no need to rush in the morning.

Li You, an uninvited guest, suddenly broke in, and was silent when he boarded, and was silently watched by everyone. But they are all quite respectful, those who sit get up to greet each other, those who stand stand with their hands tied, and the etiquette is very thoughtful.

Li You arched his hand to the house, and everyone returned the salute, but continued to be embarrassed... At this time, the Qin Sheren, who knew Li You well, came out and said, "Is it very cold in Li Zhongshu, come here to roast the fire?" ”

"Hmm." Li You made a note of Qin Sheren in his heart, took the opportunity to step down, slowly walked to a brazier, and chatted with the people next to him. It's still quite rewarding, for example, knowing that Peng Ge's fourth son was sentenced to prison yesterday.

It was really the first time that Li You had seen the efficiency of the Criminal Department so high, and the case was closed in just a few days. If the Cheng family's case is really related to Xinninghou, judging from the current situation, it is estimated that the fourth prince of Peng took the initiative to bear all the blame, so the case can be decided so quickly.

Will Elder Peng Ge, who personally escorted his son to the Criminal Department and surrendered himself, carry forward the tradition of "good things turn into bad things" and create a public opinion that kills relatives in righteousness and does not bend the law for personal gain? Li You speculated maliciously in his heart.

In the second room on the left side of the yang side of Wenyuan Pavilion, the veteran of Wenhua Palace, Yuan Ge, pressed the chapter, this stack is less than a foot thick, and he was lightly entangled. Since You Tingtui took office again, Li Zhongshu suddenly became the embodiment of fairness, and he no longer called him Yuan Daxue Xiaojiacha and Dumuzhi Building.

In this regard, Yuan Ge Lao felt relieved and a little disappointed at the same time. If you can do your best for a few months without hanging up, you will have enough prestige, and maybe you will be able to go further. It's a pity that Li Zhongshu has come back to his senses and won't give him this chance anymore.

Someone outside the door shouted: "A lieutenant has come to the pavilion to preach the holy message!" ”

The edict of the Son of Heaven (Empress Dowager) must be drafted by the cabinet before it can be regarded as a more formal and legal edict, otherwise the foreign court will not recognize it, so it is not surprising that the eunuchs were ordered to come to the cabinet to convey the relevant spirit. Elder Yuan Ge got up and walked towards the middle hall of Wenyuan Pavilion, and received the holy oracle along with the other scholars.

However, it was said that Li You was having a friendly but not enthusiastic, frank but not in-depth meeting with the people of the East Pavilion Hall, when suddenly the door curtain was lifted again, and someone shouted anxiously before he walked in: "Did you hear that?" Just now the lieutenant went to the cabinet to pass the decree, and Li Zhongshu handed over his luck again to be the official of the scripture feast! ”

The house exclaimed in unison, naturally there were all kinds of envy, and all the positions that could be close to the Son of Heaven were worthy of envy... When the news-spreader entered the room and adapted to the light, he was stunned to find "that guy" standing next to the brazier, and he was immediately stunned.

Li You didn't want to destroy today's amiable image, so he swallowed a few breaths in a row, and said with a smile: "This benevolent brother seems to be surnamed Pan? Thank you very much. ”

Out of the East Pavilion, Li You felt strange in his heart. Last time, I was a reading officer once, and I was dismissed after a fight with Yuan Gelao, why did I get on this assignment again?

Since the Chenghua Dynasty, most of the time has been isolated from China and foreign countries, and ordinary officials, especially middle and low-level officials, have little chance to meet the Son of Heaven. If the sutra feast can be held normally, it is almost the only opportunity to meet the face of heaven in the nearest place.

Being able to have a pit on the sutra feast and be familiar with it in front of the Son of Heaven will naturally benefit greatly. The reason why Hanlin officials dare to claim to be the most noble and promoted quickly is largely because of the close distance to the Son of Heaven and the many opportunities to show their faces.

It is said that this is the kind of dispatch that all middle- and low-level officials who are not qualified to enter the feast want, but Li You thought about his origin, smiled bitterly three times, and talked better than nothing. He didn't take this scholar too seriously, and continued his great cause of visiting the grassroots level. I went to the edict room just now, and now I want to go to the edict room located in the west scroll shed of Wenyuan Pavilion.

The two rooms have always been called together, but there are still differences in business. Generally speaking, the Imperial Office focuses on confidential information and archives, while the Imperial Office focuses on secretarial information.

Li You entered the west scroll shed of Wenyuan Pavilion and continued to have friendly but not warm, frank but not in-depth talks with the people of the house.

Just as it was getting better, I saw the curtain of the door flickering, and someone yelled urgently: "Do you know? There is another lieutenant just now! The saint ordered Li Zhongshu to be the driving officer of the court! Ah, Li Zhongshu, are you here again to bake the fire? ”

Or that Brother Pan Ren, Li You can't be ridiculed, he is stupid first, what kind of yellow calendar is this today?

The room was completely silent, and even these central officials of the inner court, who were accustomed to seeing the ebb and flow of the tide, hot and cold, were really surprised.

As mentioned above, the attendant Wenchen next to the Son of Heaven at the court meeting was the Cilin official, and the military minister was the Jinyi Guard. But strictly speaking, there is another kind, that is, the guide who holds the treasure seal as the lead, and Shang Baosi is served by two people. After they were all in place, they were in front of the emperor, and they were also very close to Tianyan.

It's just an exception to reward a reading officer, and add a driving officer, it's simply a grace that can't be angered by the people, isn't Li Zhongshu's Shang Bao Sicheng a false title, how can you play it really? Although the two rooms are in the cabinet and walk in the inner court, they are afraid that they will not have the opportunity to get close to the Son of Heaven within ten zhang in their lives.

In the blink of an eye, Lord Li, who was detained for two assignments, carried more than a dozen jealous glances and slowly walked out of the control room. The situation was not normal, he thought with a frown.

Li Zhongshu walked through the cabinet courtyard and prepared to go back to his public house. At this time, a middle-aged eunuch with a white face and beard walked out of the main gate of Wenyuan Pavilion, and four scholars were faintly visible in the back door.

When the lieutenant saw Li You, who was bowing his head and contemplating, he nodded and said happily, "Congratulations to Lord Li!" At the time of the ceremony, I still have to work hard for you! ”

Li You was a little confused when he heard it, "What kind of ritual?" ”

"I'm here to preach the will of the saints, this time the Holy Monarch will personally sacrifice to the heavens in the suburbs of the New Year, and you will be the attendant."

Oh my God, Lord Li was completely messed up in the cold wind, and after walking a few steps and sending one more errand?

The major affairs of the country are in worship and Rong. Among the national festivals, the major rituals are the most important, and the suburban rituals of the joint sacrifice of heaven and earth are ranked first. According to the system set by Taizu, the Son of Heaven must go out of the southern suburbs to worship heaven and earth in the first month of each year.

This is no child's play. In order to symbolize the orthodoxy of being ordained by Heaven and the Mandate of Heaven, worshipping Heaven is one of the most important political duties of the Son of Heaven, and it is also the most solemn ritual system of the imperial court.

Next year's New Year's festival is especially significant. In the first seven years, because the Son of Heaven was young, the sacrifice to Heaven was performed by the Guogong, and this time Jinghe and the Son of Heaven were going to go into battle in person, which was the first time since he ascended the throne.

Originally, with Li You's grade, at most he went out of Zhengyangmen with the class to play soy sauce, and he was not qualified to enter the Temple of Heaven to accompany him, but he was inexplicably sent by a squire officer around the Son of Heaven.

Whether it is a reading officer, a driving officer, or a waiter officer, they are all the closest servants of the Son of Heaven, and they are all the rarest pits in the world. If it is concentrated on one person's head, then I don't know if it is the creation that has been cultivated for hundreds of lifetimes. Although Jing and Tianzi are not pro-government, everyone knows that it is a matter of time, and they can be called Conglong at this time.

Three edicts in half an hour, three close attendants and dispatches added to one, there is no ancient, and there is no aftermath? The four scholars stood at the door of Wenyuan Pavilion, their eyes were complicated, and they shot at Master Li who was pacing in the courtyard.

Li You has always had a strong psychological advantage in the face of the elders, but at this time, he couldn't stand it a little and hurried back to the public house.

Is this creation? Definitely not. Is this soft rice? It has to be.

Gradually guessing what the problem was, a graceful, luxurious and arrogant red phoenix tattoo appeared in Li Zhongshu's mind. This woman is always on her own, always ignoring other people's ideas, and she can be said to have more than one means of life.

This bowl of soft rice is not pleasant to eat. I don't know if she was unintentionally pulled out to help her under the love and annihilation fever, or did she deliberately kill her? So many dispatches gathered together to give it to him, that is, they wanted to forcibly put a label of "emperor party" on his head, which was quite in line with the woman's surname.

Although it is not the fault of loyalty, but... What would the Queen Mother who gave him Li You think? What do those foreign bigwigs who support him Li You's ascension think?

This official knows that he can't control the trouser belt and the legacy is endless, otherwise she wouldn't dare to be so unscrupulous with me, Li You sighed. Sure enough, only women and villains are difficult to raise, and those who are close are not inferior to those who are far away.

First of all, you have to excuse yourself, if you really can't push it off, you have to change the business card again... Master Li pulled out a stack of recently written new name thorns from the small box of the wooden cabinet, and it was impressively written on it, "Cheng Zhilang, Shang Bao Sicheng, Zhongshu Sheren, Zhiyu Fang, and Li You, who is also in charge of the vote division".

These handwritings are already piled up on paper, and it is far from enough to add words such as "Reading Officer at the Banquet, Driving Officer of the Imperial Counselor, and Attendant of the Great Ceremony".

Need to change to a bigger paper, is there an official in this dynasty who has more words than the official position of this official? Li You sighed. Rank, rank, officer, position, errand, and dispatch are all wow, adding up to eight paragraphs.

From this day on, in an instant, there were three attendants with the titles of Banquet Reading Officer, Court Counselor Driving Officer, and Great Ritual Attendant Officer, and Master Li had a new nickname, and the people in the rivers and lakes called Li Sanguan. From the cabinet to the inner court, and from the inner court to the outer court.
