After inquiring about Zhu Bulang's deeds from the mouths of the little officials, Li You was envious, and he was a little entangled again... At first, he thought that this foreigner was from a noble background, and there was a prince family behind him, so he had a heart to make friends. Now that I know the identity of Zhu Bulang's clan, I feel very embarrassed.

To elaborate on this Zhu Bulang, alias Fang He, is listed as the top of the emperor's list with his clan, and he is indeed a strange person in this dynasty.

During the Wanli period, Emperor Shenzong had an edict that the children of the clan below the lieutenant of Fengguo could participate in the imperial examination, which was regarded as giving distant relatives who did not have titles a way out, although this way out was extremely difficult. More than a hundred years have passed, and there are not two or three royal clan relatives who can fight to the end in the field, and even if they are hit by the Jinshi, they are the objects of strict vigilance by the ministers.

Mr. Zhu Fanghe's Tanhua is the best result of the royal clan in the imperial examination, so it is said to be the royal face. When he participated in the second year of Jinghe's big competition, the Son of Heaven was only ten years old, but he was very intelligent, and after reading the list of palace examinations, he admired this hard-working distant relative very much, and asked him to be the champion, but was stopped by the ministers. The Son of Heaven made a big fuss, and finally gave a tanhua.

When the post was conferred, Tanhua should enter the Hanlin Academy according to the rules, but he continued to be stopped by the ministers. In this year, he entered the Hanlin Academy called Yangwang, and was regarded by the government and the opposition as a reserve minister, and he would have the qualification to enter the cabinet in the future. In order to make the Ming Dynasty eternal, can you give the emperor's relatives the opportunity to be prime ministers?

If he couldn't make Hanlin, the Son of Heaven planned to appoint this distant relative of the same generation to the Zhongshu Department, but the minister still tried his best to stop it, on the grounds that "the clan should avoid suspicion and not enter the interior", and no matter how much trouble the little emperor makes, it will not work.

The middle scholars of the middle school department, like the six departments of the cabinet, work in the Forbidden City. The main task is to follow the emperor around the court meeting or when there is a big ceremony, which is extremely clear and important, and must not be undertaken by Jinshi.

If a clan is placed in the Imperial Palace, how can ministers who are loyal to the national policy of suppressing the clan be reassured? In case of recklessness, the consequences are unimaginable!

But the dual identity of the clan Tanhua is here, and the official can't be wronged, of course, he must not be allowed to go to the ministry. The court bigwigs met and sent Mr. Zhu Fanghe to the Ministry of Rites.

This Ministry of Rites is the clearest yamen in the six departments, and it is absolutely not wronged by Tanhualang. Where is Kiyoshi?

One is the most noble, and it is where the leader of Shilin is. The official notices of the jinshi are all issued by the Ministry of Rites, in order to distinguish them from those who are officials in the miscellaneous ways, and Li Youna's official body is issued by the Ministry of Officials, and it is taken out at a lower level. Not to mention that in recent decades, among the scholars of the past dynasties, the favorite is the title of the Ministry of Rites.

The second is the most leisurely, the least affairs, even if it is all a scene work, just follow the rules and follow the rules. What kind of court, sacrifice, commendation, gift, imperial examination, etc., have been this set for hundreds of years, and a large number of related yamen such as Taichang Temple and Honglu Temple help to do miscellaneous.

The third is the clearest water, not oil and water, you know.

Taken together, the official position of the Ministry of Rites is simply tailor-made for Mr. Zhu Fanghe.

After taking office, the Son of Heaven was still very kind to his distant royal brother and was very close to and trusted. Zhu Bulang's son only learned to walk, so he was named the general of Shijue Zhenguo, only lower than Wang Jue.

Zhu Bulang himself was promoted from the head of the Ministry of Rites to the Wailang in just a few years, and he was often summoned to the palace to visit relatives, and he was very capable of speaking in front of the young emperor. At the same time, Zhu Bulang has repeatedly helped the needy, and his reputation in the officialdom of the capital is really good, and his status has become more and more transcendent in the past one or two years.

So Li You was entangled. Obviously, this adult is destined not to be a second-grade hall official and a real power official, and he doesn't even have to think about it. His career will probably stop at the Sanpin Shilang or the idle Siqing, and it is impossible for the court to make the clan one of the Seven Qings or the Nine Qings. It is even likely that there will be strange things such as the higher the grade of Lord Zhu, the smaller the right to speak.

Li You had read some history books and historical theories in his previous life because of his profession, so he was not confused at this time.

It can be judged that Zhu Bulang, a freak who is half a clan and half a civil official, has no political power in his own right. His current status and popularity are largely an extension of imperial power, dependent on the preferential treatment of the Son of Heaven. For this sake, of course, others will give him face for small things, but Zhu Bulang's future is destined to be bleak.

Li You also thought that he had gone from going through the toss to the present, and he had worked hard to get into the civil service class (although it was the lowest class). I also have the opportunity to get acquainted with a few powerful people, just waiting for the prison to go further, this is the right way in the future.

At this point, Master Li has already laid the imprint of the civil service system. Getting close to Zhu Bulang, will it make several bigwigs think that he is delusional about taking a shortcut to the south and hoping to get lucky? Although there seem to be quite a few such people in the DPRK.

The biggest problem in the middle is that the popular idea in recent years is that the monarch and the minister rule together... The relationship between the mainstream civil bureaucracy and the emperor is analyzed as two sides of the unity of opposites in a contradictory theory.

So this is not a strange era where everything can be safe and everything will be safe if the imperial power is good, but who dares to guarantee that the current weak son of heaven will not monopolize power and suppress hundreds of bureaucrats as he gets older? The most typical example is Emperor Sejong of the Jiajing Dynasty.

Of course, it is also possible that the person riding the white horse is not a prince, but a Tang monk, and all kinds of choices are risky. But it is very difficult to eat like a fish in water, and it is definitely not something that Li You can do.

Yesterday he said that he was entangled with the Queen Mother's Party and the Emperor's Party, and today he began to be entangled with the Civilian Party and the Imperial Power Party, and after thinking too much, he began to have a headache again.

Don't get too close to Zhu Bulang yet, this adult's identity is too sensitive... Li You decided that after all, he started by relying on the civil service system, and now he is also attached to the civil service system, and he is nothing without this foundation.

At this point, Lord Li couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh, the scene was complicated, and he was too tired in the capital. If this continues, there is no benefit, and there will be a neurasthenia first.

At this time, someone behind him asked, "What is Lord Li sighing for?" ”

Li You turned around, and sure enough, it was Mr. Zhu Fanghe. When ordinary officials see others sighing, it is estimated that most of them will only not see it and will not take the initiative to ask. One is afraid that others will take advantage of the situation to ask for something difficult for them, and the other is worried that it will be embarrassing to involve others... Lord Zhu can ask directly, but Master Li can't answer directly.

Li You, who was about to look at it left and right, caught a glimpse of a big tree in the courtyard out of the corner of his eye, several people hugged each other, the branches were luxuriant, and his heart flashed, and he pointed to his finger and said: "Seeing the big tree and looking at things and thinking about yourself, I feel a little emotional." ”

Master Zhu said strangely: "It's just a common tree, and you also feel nostalgic? Can there be a big deal? ”

Li You, the big tree poem, was reserved, and immediately said: "I often hear that the Jingshi has many trees in the city because the palace uses a lot of trees, but there is one here, and I can't help but feel something, so it is a big tree poem." ”

"Listen up." Lord Zhu is humane, he really wants to see with his own eyes what level Li You is. Because of the limitation of his identity, he does not pursue much, and he has the idea of passing on poems and songs to future generations, so he seems to be careful in this regard.

It's time to witness the miracle again... Li You's expression was depressed, and he said in a heavy tone: "The poem says: The branches are high and the frost is blowing, and the shade house is always cool in summer. The leaves fall every thousand acres of snow, and the flowers bloom once made six incense. It is difficult to use great craftsmen, and you are willing to live longer in the mountains. Qishu has no one who knows the word, and only looks at others as pillars. ”

Master Zhu was stunned for a long time, in a trance, and when he came back to his senses, he asked, "What is this poem about?" ”

Li You nodded and said: "My lord also knows, he has a humble background and no fame, and it is difficult to get out of the way." The heart of the country is powerless, just like this tree is hidden in the deep courtyard and cannot be a pillar, so it is used to send away. ”

In fact, Master Li is very content with his small achievements, and what do you want to do if you are born as a servant and reach the seventh grade

But when it comes to ambition in front of outsiders, he must show the sadness, indignation, and sadness of being full of talent but having no way to serve the country. This is a crucial image design skill, it is easier to win the sympathy of others, and if you meet a kind person, you will be embarrassed to despise him for being too low-born.

"It's hard to use great craftsman... I only see others as pillars... It's hard to use great craftsmen..."Zhu Bulang didn't care about Li You's mood, but he couldn't help but chant these two sentences over and over again, as if there was some magic in them. I recited it seventeen or eighteen times in a row. The more you read it, the louder it became, like madness.

What's going on? After thinking about it, Writer Li finally realized that this poem, which he pretended to be forced in the name of borrowing things to metaphor, should have touched Zhu Bulang's heart, otherwise he would not have been like this.

Mr. Zhu Fanghe, as a talented Jinshi and first, should have the ideal of self-cultivation and Qi family to govern the country and level the world. It's good that you can't win the emperor's list, but you just do, but you are almost destined to be hopeless for the rest of your life. No matter how high he learns, it won't help, no wonder he was stimulated by this sentence.

Seeing that the other party was going to be so distressed that he was going crazy, Li You said secretly, you are not in the mood to invite me to a banquet today, this is fine, it will save you embarrassment... Then he arched his hand and said: "I have been disturbing for a long time today, and the lower official will leave first." ”

Zhu Bulang couldn't help but say, grabbed Li You and dragged him out, but said in his mouth: "We are both fallen people at the end of the world, why should we know each other when we meet, and follow me." ”

Li You asked, "Where to go?" ”

"Hokkeji Temple!"

I grass! If the Son of Heaven knew that he had made Brother Tanhua out of the house with such a thing, he would be completely dusted when the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder was struck. Li You said in a hurry: "If you want to become a monk, you are not in a hurry!" ”

"Who wants to become a monk? I invite you to go there and drink! Today, it is said that if you are not drunk, you will not return, and if you are drunk, you will not return. ”

This face really couldn't refuse, so Li You had no choice but to follow. Along the way, he couldn't help but think in his heart, this time he drank wine, he could only talk about Fengyue, and poetry was also good. There must be no more topics such as ambitions, promotions, and fortunes, so as not to cause accidents.

By the way, I have to think of a way to let others, especially the thighs, know that he and Emperor Zhu's relatives are purely for discussion, and there is no other meaning.

It seems that you can't do it without making something eye-catching... It's a good thing, and it's not bad to be a young man for once.
