Li You looked up and saw the eldest princess of Guide, and secretly scolded herself, she really developed the problem of thinking blindly when she encountered something, and the ready-made answer was in her mouth, where to use her brains first.

"The grade will not change, it is still the fifth grade. You can rest assured that you are a meritorious minister, and the fifth grade is a reward for meritorious service, and the court will not demote you to the sixth or seventh grade. Guide Chitose gave Li You a reassurance.

Li You was overjoyed when he heard this, and he changed from a local to a Beijing official, which is called Xingtori, even if the grade remains the same, it is equivalent to a promotion. In the officialdom, the five-rank Beijing official can be equated with the fourth-grade magistrate. In this way, there is no need to worry about the grade.

Immediately, Li You had a new doubt, the table master should not have the official position of the fifth grade.

According to the official position of the national dynasty, the number of science and Taoist officials in the Beijing division is very scarce at the level of five or six grades, and it is even more blank at the level of five grades.

Li You guessed that it was probably because the main business officials in the six departments, Lang Zhong and Yuanwai Lang, were gathered in large numbers at this level, so they had to stagger each other with the science and technology officials.

Of course, the eldest princess of Guide understood Li You's doubts, "If there is a need, grade is never a problem, it is nothing more than a matter of name." There are about two products in the Imperial History, about three products in the Imperial History, and about four in the Imperial History. Then you can temporarily set up a new right deputy Yu Du Yu Shi, or the same right Yu Du Yu Shi, or call the right Yu Du Yu Shi, set as five products, what's so difficult? ”

Li You was almost overwhelmed by the sudden happiness. The vast majority of the officials are seven-grade, and there are very few high-grade ones, if they can be directly promoted to the five-grade department, although the grade remains the same, the flow of the grade has risen to a big level, laying a solid foundation for promotion again.

There may still be people who don't understand what the meaning of the Taoist official is to Li You.

In the officialdom of the dynasty, promotion is not as the people imagine, and it can be done by just inviting guests and giving gifts to pull relationships, there is a set of explicit and unspoken rules, according to nothing more than basic hard conditions such as background, qualifications, connections, seniority, etc.

The conditions are insufficient, and you can only go around at one level for the rest of your life, and it is useless to stay up for years and pull relationships.

To put it simply, if he were not in a period of war and abnormality, Li You would not have been born in the imperial examination, and under normal circumstances, Dingtian would be an eight-rank miscellaneous official. But with his luck, court promotion qualifications and connections, he got today's status in the civil service system, but in the future, his promotion to the prefect of the fourth rank was capped.

Although there are no explicit regulations for civil officials above the fourth grade, they are generally from Jinshi Qingliu, especially the Beijing officials are stricter. Today's Su Songfen Shoudao Wang, the old man was born as a prisoner, which is just a special case, but even the old man Wang also has a tribute to the fame, and no matter how valuable it is, it is also a "yuan." "The same as the champion, the meeting yuan, and the solution yuan". This allowed the imperial court to relax the restrictions on him slightly.

If Li You can find an opportunity to put on the title of science and technology and put on a clear stream, it is equivalent to breaking the confinement of grades, and after that, for him, except for the positions of scholars, scholars, and Hanlin, there are basically no restrictions. Even when it comes to the upward channel, it is slightly better than those third-class jinshi who can't enter the Qingliu officials.

But the problem is that it is too difficult for turbidity currents to cross into the clear stream without going through the imperial examination. Since the civil bureaucracy of the Orthodox Dynasty has gradually matured, there have been only a handful of successful ones.

Even if the Chenghua Dynasty, the most demonic man, did not circulate normally, and forcibly rewarded the ministers of the gods, he directly sealed many of the six departments and Siqing, but he could not directly seal the Taoist officials.

Thinking of the difficulty, Li You calmed down from his excitement and couldn't help but say, "Can this work?" ”

The eldest princess replied ambiguously: "I just said that I had this opportunity, but I didn't say that it would definitely work." But you have the same qualifications as Shangshu and Dufu, and this condition is very outstanding and there are some other factors, so it is not impossible. ”…,

After turning it over and over again, I still don't have the right words... Li You analyzed it in his heart again.

With the atmospheric personality of His Royal Highness Chitose, if there is really no chance, he will not sell favors in front of him, only a person with a lot of caution will act like this.

So the current situation should be certain, but there may be surprises. Since there is a chance, it is good to have a chance, Li You is rejuvenated.

The eldest princess of Guide reminded: "It's not a short time to pass, aren't you still leaving?" If you don't leave, the palace gate will be locked. ”

Yes! Li You almost forgot about this matter, and for a while he didn't care about anything else, he arched his hand to say goodbye to the eldest princess and Lin Yuma, and hurriedly walked towards the gate of the palace.

In the vigilant eyes of the guards, Li Daren was panting and dangerously flashed out of the palace gate in an instant before the lock. Standing outside the palace gate, he was blown by the evening breeze a few times before he was relieved.

His ceremonial attendant had waited from dusk to this time, and hurriedly picked up the eldest man in a sedan chair and drove back to the Tongzhi Branch.

Sitting in the sedan chair, Li You suddenly woke up. When he was talking to Chitose Guide at the Imperial Palace, he was bewitched by the sudden fat bait, which caused him to be fascinated and unable to extricate himself. But I forgot to inquire about the biggest key point: why did the imperial court set up this right deputy to the imperial history?

In addition, Li You noticed a small sheep, and Guide Chitose said that he wanted to set up a "right" deputy capital imperial history, and this official name is also very interesting.

The official titles at all levels of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, from the second-rank imperial history, the third-rank deputy imperial history to the fourth-rank imperial history, are all set up on the left and right. But left and right are not used indiscriminately, and there are rules in them.

With the left as the respect, the one with the prefix "left" can be regarded as the official of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, just like those who sit in the hall and serve the Lang in the six departments, and the supreme leader of the Metropolitan Procuratorate is naturally the Zuodu Imperial History.

The prefix "right" is often used as a nominal official title for expatriate assignments such as governors and governors, symbolizing his status as a chakra and indicating his own official rank, but he does not really work in the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

For example, the former governor of Fengyang, Yang Zhiyang, was honored as Futai, but his actual official title was the right capital imperial history. Only in the name of the imperial history of the right capital did there be such important assignments as the commander of military affairs and the governor of Fengyang.

If you want to set up the right deputy to the imperial history, only one "right" word can reveal some information. However, Master Li only cared about jī movement, ignored this point, and did not ask questions.

After thinking about it, it can be judged that the right deputy Yushi Jiuchengjiu is also a plus, and there must be a dispatch with it. But this crucial content of the dispatch was drifted away by the eldest princess of Guide...

Li You thought, she did it on purpose, otherwise how could she not say such an important situation?

But what kind of mission is it? Because it may be related to his own future, Lord Li is curious like a cat scratching.

Judging from the fact that His Royal Highness Chitose asked him whether he would like to go to Jingjian City or stay in Yangzhou, most of this dispatch was in Jingjian City. And judging from the phrase "not necessarily easy to do", this dispatch is a very tricky task.

It's a tricky thing to do in Kyoto City... Li You couldn't analyze it anymore at this point, because he didn't have enough information, and he didn't know the current situation of Jingyi City, so he had no way of knowing what tricky things were going on.

The Son of Heaven will stay in Yangzhou for about four days, and he will find the empty space and then find His Highness Chitose to ask for details, even if he asks, he can probably only resign himself to fate. The establishment of a Zhengwupin Daoist in the Beijing Division is quite eye-catching, and Li You knows that he can't fight for it, so he can only see if others give him this opportunity.

When the eldest princess of Guide and Lord Li were chatting cordially, in the main hall of the palace, Jing and the Son of Heaven were also chatting with their eldest companion Duan Zhien with a tired face. …,

The main topic is what happened on the boat today. Duan's father-in-law was afraid that the Son of Heaven would not be able to see the doorway clearly, so he took the initiative to explain.

"Li You's overall idea is to concentrate all his efforts and attack one point as well as the rest, and the point that has been attacked is edited by Li.

Probably because among the ministers accompanying the driver, only Li Denggao has shallow experience, unlike others who are old and sophisticated. In fact, he was indeed caught by Li You three times and twice, and he couldn't blame Li You for his humiliation. ”

Li You's technique has about three stages, first bluffing, shocking others from speaking easily. Immediately there was a premeditated step-by-step shift, saying a few words and then changing the head, absolutely not leaving time for others to refute Enso, so as to always keep the conversation in their own hands. In the end, he moved out and ended perfectly for the righteousness of the division commander. ”

The Son of Heaven didn't follow Duan's train of thought, but asked a question: "Li You is not convinced because he will not join the cabinet, which reminds me that the Tang Dynasty was not a county in Lizhou and not a province in Taiwan, why didn't I follow suit?" The ancestors decided that non-Hanlin would not be included in the cabinet, which led to the uncontrollable hope of the Hanlin Academy, and it was too much to be on the top of the clouds only in the word forest? Without the experience of being close to the people, how can the prime minister govern? ”

Duan Zhien said: "There are six ministries in this dynasty, all of which are officials of the Jiuqing Hall, so the biggest function of the cabinet is not to govern the government, but to reconcile. In addition to the three tripings, there are more than 20 and less than 10 Shuji admitted by each branch of the Hanlin Academy, all of which are the choice of the prime minister. It must be the attention of the Manchurian Dynasty, and the pressure under the domestic and foreign affairs can be described as heavy. ”

"Those who can be killed under this pressure are the real prime ministers, and those who can't be killed are just scrap products if they are hit to the point of being unbearable like Lee Teng-gao today. The ancestors used this method to select suitable characters. ”

Jing He Tianzi nodded very thoughtfully, and said: "Looking at Li You today, he is really outstanding. ”

Duan Zhien said with a smile: "The magistrate who doesn't even have the prefect in his own position, but he talks about the major affairs of the imperial court, and he knows his heart."

"It's just a desire to move up the ranks." Jinghe Tianzi didn't care.

A small inner eunuch held a document in his hand and said to the Son of Heaven: "Emperor, the city of Beijing is coming to report!" ”

Jing and Tianzi took the paperwork, and after reading it, he said to Duan Zhien: "The queen mother has begun." ”

It is said that when Li You returned to the Tongzhi Branch, he saw that Master Zhuang had not fallen asleep and was still waiting. He asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Master Zhuang handed today's report to Li You, "There are big changes in the temple, adults must take a look." ”

Li You frowned and unfolded the newspaper, looked at it a few times in the candlelight, and was shocked, it was really a big change! There are only two main points in the newspaper:

First, the Empress Cisheng re-established the celebrant superintendent!

The second is that the Empress Dowager Cisheng intends to include the nobles in the courtiers' meeting, and add a few honors on the basis of the existing Jiuqing! The second more! I'm going to start sprinting for the month's more promises! In the future, there will be more as long as possible! I also hope that everyone will smash the non-iron ticket monthly ticket that is uncertain in their hands, so that the monthly ticket list will also start to sprint! [This text is provided by Qihang]
