Chapter 254: The terrain is different
Li Youli thought about it again in the courtyard, and knew that the two women couldn't keep it, let alone touch it. is either a target or a scourge, and being impeached for "insatiable greed and hypocrisy" is considered light.
If His Royal Highness Guide Chitose thinks that he is a majestic man who has weak legs when he sees a beautiful woman and knows that he is in trouble and still wants to stay by his side, then he thinks too highly of Li!
Immediately, Li You called out Zhang San and Han Zong, and ordered: "You go to the alley and call a sedan chair, and send these two back to the Ten Princes' Mansion to the Mansion of Princess De as soon as possible." Let's just say that I don't dare to be given by the palace anymore, sir. ”
"What if the Chitose Mansion doesn't accept it?" Zhang San asked.
"Then it will be thrown at the door of her house, it doesn't matter if it lives or dies, it has nothing to do with the master!"
In order to avoid heartache and accidents, Li You didn't see these two beauties, as the so-called seeing each other is better than not seeing each other. No matter how much you calculate, I just won't accept it, what can you do?
After dealing with these two potential dangers, Li Youan ate and slept with peace of mind.
In the past, Li You still had a trace of fantasy about Guide Chitose (don't think crookedly), as another potential step into life. So now that he has been pushed to the throne by the court, there are allies in the inner court and the outer court (formerly humbly called the backstage), and he suddenly feels that his waist is thick and strong, and there is no need to look at the eldest princess's face too much.
In other words, since the maturity of the cabinet system of the country, the cabinet has always been a dualistic institution with clear barriers. There are only two distinct roles in the cabinet, one is to be promoted to a scholar from the first rank, and the other is to be a scholar from the seventh rank.
The former is the supreme of a supreme minister, the ultimate goal of all clear streams, and the latter is called an official who is actually a subordinate official, and it is just a relatively high-level miscellaneous stream. The two can be said to be the difference between heaven and earth.
In the past 1,200 years, except for a few special periods, there have never been other types of roles in the cabinet, as long as there is one or the other in the cabinet, and it will never exceed the scope of the two kinds of people.
But in the winter of the seventh year of Jinghe, the situation changed. Li You, a native of Xujiang, rewarded the official Shang Bao Si with a birthday poem on the Holy Birthday Festival, and became a positive six products, and then miraculously obtained the position of the Zhongshu Sheren through the court to directly approve the house and manage the votes.
There are two things to look for. First of all, it is not strange that the scholars have added officials, but in recent years, they are relatively rare, and the people of the current six grades of the Chinese scholars are blessed. Secondly, this Zhongshu Sheren actually broke away from the original tenure system, and he was promoted by the court to get the official and manage the right to divide the votes.
All in all, the grade is three levels higher than that of his colleagues, and his background is the most righteous court push like Peng and Yang, and the power can legally restrain scholars, and after the combination of the three, the role of Li You has rightfully become the third type of person in the cabinet.
In addition to the elders and scholars, there are more Chinese books, which really opens a historical precedent. If this practice can be maintained and the "ancestral law" can be formed, it is estimated that Li Zhongshu will become an indispensable figure for future generations to study the history of the Ming political system.
However, if Li You himself can live for hundreds of years to see the research results of folk historians on the Internet, I am afraid that he will be angry and killed on the spot. At that time, it was popular to say that Li Zhongshu's work was similar to an enhanced version of the celebrant and the clerk, the steward, and the eunuch.
Hundreds of years later, there is an unpopular post on an unpopular forum as follows:
"At that time, he was young and thin, and that year, the Chinese scholar who had not yet grown a beard was like a eunuch who had not been cut off and the harmony had not been cut off, walking wildly by the Jinhe Jade Bridge, lazily wandering in the red bricks and green tiles.
The cold wind that seeped in through the cracks in the palace walls swept up a few remaining Royal Supreme Edition leaves, swaying and drifting, falling into the sometimes indifferent and sometimes hot hearts. He looked up at the starry sky and wanted to burst into tears, but he inadvertently indulged in the bright sorrow of the wild geese returning south, until the sky covered his eyes.
He smiled coldly with a faint evil spirit, and his smile was very pure and bright. Slender nails painted a few Peloponnesian greetings in Mauritanian on the leaves, sometimes mixed with ancient Hebrew colors, and gently let their hands fly, and silently prayed that the north wind would bring back the eight hearts and eight arrows worth eight hundred and eighty-eight taels of silver back to the distance. ”
Wen Qing is Wen Qing, gossip is not mentioned, and he is back to business.
However, he said that on this day, Li Zhongshu received a few letters from his family brought by the king of Xujiang County when he entered Beijing at the end of his term, and he knew that everything was safe at home, and he was in a good mood and went to work with great satisfaction. When I walked to the gate of Huiji, I found someone sitting in the door and chatting with the inner supervisor on duty.
It seems that there is no sutra to speak today, what is he going to do? Although Li You was suspicious, he didn't plan to ask too much, and was ready to go through the door.
Seeing Li You coming, Lin Juma patted the soil, got up and said to Li You: "Li Zhongshu go slowly!" Borrow a step to speak. ”
Li You stopped, surprised in his heart, the official has already "broken off" with you, and you are embarrassed to talk to the official, how thick-skinned is this? It doesn't seem like that.
Stretching out his hand not to hit the smiling person, Li You and Lin Yuma came to the Yudai River in the noon gate, with a wide field of vision around them, which could prevent people from approaching and eavesdropping without knowing.
"How can you be so unresponsible? Have no regrets about doing something wrong? Even if you don't take the blame, you always have to come to the door to apologize? ”
"Oh, which one are you talking about?" Li You pretended to be stupid. Of course, he knew that Lin Juma was referring to the matter of wronging the eldest princess of Guide at the end of last month, and Lin Juma also heard it at that time.
Lin Yuma didn't go around in circles with Li You, "Your Highness has been living in the Fuma Mansion for three nights in a row, which implies that you should go and apologize." ”
Li You asked, "Did she ask you to come?" ”
His Highness didn't say anything. I have to come myself, otherwise I would not have spoken to you. ”
Your spirit of taking the initiative to pimp your wife is commendable... Li You vaguely said "I know" and turned to leave.
Lin Yuma was in a hurry, and stopped Li You again: "How about you go after you leave the palace today?" ”
Looking at his appearance, Master Li's suspicion has flared up again..."Don't be in a hurry, it's not too late to pass a few days." ”
"It's good that you go as soon as possible. With His Royal Highness's surname, there must be some certainty, otherwise I won't wait to see you, and I'm afraid that something will happen if I don't go, so don't say it. ”
These few sentences talked about Li Youxin's heart, and he had heard about Wang Qinian's secret defection to the eldest princess in the court dispute. In fact, he made a mistake and messed up the layout of His Royal Highness Chitose, and Li You, who was just popular, was faintly uneasy, and the eldest princess of Guide would not be so angry that she wanted to be ruthless?
However, his identity is different now, and he is also a person named in front of the Queen Mother, forgive the second noblewoman in the world who no longer has the courage to engage in secretly poisoning and the like. Since the rise of the Daming civil official group, I have not heard of any minister who was poisoned by others.
But for the sake of world peace, it is really necessary to have a meeting, Li You thought.
For the sake of world peace, you must go, Lin Juma thought. A few days ago, the master of the horse beckoned a group of friends to gather in the house to have fun, and the princess suddenly arrived without saying hello, so he had to end the scene in disappointment.
I don't want to go from then on, His Highness Chitose won't stay. As long as the eldest princess lives in the Concubine's Mansion, Lin Concubine's Horse will not be able to call friends and companions, and it seems that it is not appropriate to go out and find happiness. Although Guide Chitose has loosened the tie, he is still his wife in name, and he can't kick his nose too much when he is stationed in the Horse Mansion at this time, not to mention that His Royal Highness is in a bad mood.
When Wu Yingdian was deliberating, Lin Yuma was also present, and of course he understood where his wife's bad mood came from. For the sake of his happy life, he rarely pulled down his face and took the initiative to talk to the ruthless and unrighteous Li Zhongshu... What a shame.
The white sky passed quickly, and it was dark.
This is an ordinary night, in fact, there is no ordinary night in the world, but this night must be ordinary.
Li You walked into the Guide Horse Mansion in the eastern city of Jingshi and was led to the inner courtyard, where Lin Horse was usually covering in the outhouse.
Warm little pavilion, bright candlelight, soft squirrel, thin silk shirt, half a volume of books, and a beautiful woman who is quiet.
"You're here?"
"Well, I'm here."
"You should have come earlier."
"Why did I come earlier?"
"Because I've been waiting for you here for three days."
"Why are you waiting?"
"Why don't I wait?"
"Should you wait?"
"Shouldn't I wait?"
"Have you thought about it, what will happen if you can't wait?"
"You want to know?"
"Would you like to let me know?"
"It depends on whether you're smart enough."
"I was wrong, I was really wrong."
"You are indeed very smart, smart to me..."The eldest princess of Guide suddenly changed her face and said angrily: "You negative person bears me a lot!" If I hadn't recommended your birthday poem to the queen mother, you would have come out! ”
"You've all done it all." Li You muttered.
"Since we met, what has I been wrong with you? It's you who hurt me every time! ”
Li You said-for-tat: "You just want to appease me, just like Wang Qinian." I heard that he is having a miserable life now. ”
"No matter what I think, what I actually do in the end doesn't hurt you. And you do the opposite! ”
This... It seems that this is the case, Li You felt guilty for a few moments, but he didn't mean to take advantage of it, people can't help themselves in the rivers and lakes.
In fact, if you taste the words of the eldest princess of Guide, you can detect a sense of discouragement. Repeatedly unable to figure out the man in front of him, it made him fly higher and higher, and His Royal Highness, who had always been strong, also felt a slight sense of powerlessness.
For more than 20 years, she has never been like today, complaining about lines like "you are sorry for me", she has always expressed her attitude with the most powerful actions.
The eldest princess of Guide changed to a more comfortable sitting position, gave up half of the couch, and said leisurely: "I've been sitting for a long time these days, and my legs are sore." ”
Li You pretended to be deaf and dumb and did not move.
"Do you want to know what I'm thinking?"
For the sake of making you suffer a few losses, I will give up my body today. Li You sighed and sat on the edge of the couch, gently kneading the eldest princess's stylish legs through the gauze skirt.
Although it was the first time, it happened so naturally... You're really... Guide Chitose's breathing became a little heavy, and he said: "If you don't come today, I will tell the queen mother that the two palace maids you sent back are no longer virgins." Of course, they are not virgins now. ”
Li You was slightly stunned, His Royal Highness Chitose actually left this hand... The palace maids who were selected were all virgins in theory, except for female officials. If the two palace maids wandered around his house, but they were not virgins when he respectfully sent them back, what would others think? Especially what does the Queen Mother think?
"Shengming is above, how can I eat you." Li You snorted coldly.
Guide Chitose nodded approvingly, "You're right. Also, as far as I know, Xinninghou has something to do with the Cheng family salt case, do you know? ”
Li You was taken aback, Xinninghou is the queen mother's brother, how could he be involved in the Cheng family's case? Could it be that Wang Qinian deliberately gave him this case is really ambushed here? I couldn't help but ask, "Is this true?" ”
"Naturally it's true, it seems that not only you don't know, it seems that the queen mother doesn't know the inside story. If I let my mother know that this case you poked out affected my uncle, I don't know how she would feel. ”
Li You sweated slightly. If the leader has a little opinion of you on one thing, it may not matter, but two or three things accumulate, and then there are close villains blowing yin wind in the leader's ears, then the lethality will increase exponentially... God knows if Chitose will find something else?
The eldest princess remembered something, "As the Holy Monarch gets older, perhaps it is time to arrange for a woman to serve closely. The two beauties you sent back don't seem to have a good impression of you. If I leave them in the Qing Palace to take care of the Holy Monarch's daily life, it may not be very beneficial to you at the head of the bed. ”
Let the Queen Mother have an opinion, it is to stifle the present, and to let the Son of Heaven have an idea, that is, to stifle the future. Guide Chitose talked about the money, and Li You was speechless.
Li Zhongshu suddenly understood, no wonder before the Chongzhen Dynasty, the development trend of the political situation in the Ming Dynasty was that the outer court was restrained by the inner court, the inner court was restrained by the internal supervisor, and the inner prison was restrained by the Son of Heaven. Now I have a little personal experience.
When it comes to the realm of pit people, although Lord Li has a little experience, he is also a little embarrassed in the face of the eldest princess at this moment. Sure enough, the top pit masters in the world are all in the palace, and Guide Chitose doesn't have a few brushes in this regard, how can he be able to stand up for a name in the palace.
In this case, could he not be wary? But the thousands of precautions are still calculated, and I don't know it... There is really no end to learning, and if you don't advance, you will retreat. Li You took a deep breath and responded: "Then I will impeach you for interfering in power and disorderly government, and causing chaos in the palace!" ”
Lord Li's meaning is also very clear, after he completes the impeachment of the eldest princess of Guide with righteous words, then His Royal Highness Chitose fanning the yin wind in the ears of the Queen Mother will only be regarded as deliberately finding fault and retaliating, and the effect will be limited.
"If I hadn't told you this today, you wouldn't have thought of it, would you? Not to mention impeaching me. In fact, you are not the same today, the terrain is different, and many things are different from the past, think about it carefully. ”
So you're treating me a little differently today? Li You was silent, and inadvertently, the two hands that were being massaged gradually approached the root of the thighs under the gauze skirt.
Guide Chitose retracted his leg and kicked Li You, and scolded softly: "Stupid! Since I was a child, I have never taken off my dress by myself! ”
