Chapter Ninety-Seven: Chen Zhixian Finally Revealed

Li Yougong respectfully drank wine with the old man, and listened to Lu Shangshu again: "After returning to my hometown for two months, it is not worth this trip to get this word, and the official should hang in the study to encourage himself from time to time." Is Inspector Li willing to resign and follow the old man? ”

In the eyes of the boss, it seems that being a Qingke staff member in the Shangshu Mansion is much better than being a small broken sesame seed inspection... Li You was shocked, the protagonist's aura was so dazzling? As soon as a few words came out, there was a real boss with an official rank of up to the second grade who regarded him as a treasure, and he wanted to accept him as a younger brother... What is the situation, his mind is numb and he can't think about anything, let alone think calmly about refusal or promise.

Only Chen Zhixian knew one or two inside stories in the hall, and bowed down to Lao Shangshu and said: "Don't blame the boss, the lower officials have to be brave enough to keep people, and our county can't leave Li for a while." He was tantamount to refusing for Li You.

Lu Shangshu nodded and said, "It's the old man who was excited when he saw the words, and he was a little reckless." And he said it again.

The fate of Inspector Li turned around in the mouths of Shangguan and Shangguan, as if he had returned to his original trajectory. At this point, who dares to go up to offer ugliness, and the banquet is dispersed.

Li You, who was still ignorant, was left by Chen Zhixian for questioning, "How did you know about the situation between the DPRK and China?" ”

There is no beginning or end to this question, Li You doesn't know why. A nine-grade inspection can't even be seen often in the palace newspaper, where is the turn of the court to worry about it? It's not as good as making a history in the county government at the beginning, and I have nothing to do every day to work and read the Di newspaper fifty times to know more news. After thinking about it, he asked: "Where did the county lord start with this?" ”

"The clouds cover the moon and are not clear, who will wash the Yangtze River and release the azure?" Chen Zhixian recited the last two sentences of Li You's words just now, and said: "If you didn't understand the Ming situation, how could you write these two sentences and give them to Master Lu?" ”

Li You, Li Inspector, Master Li was stunned, and casually copied a poem, why is it involved in the current situation? What does he, the lowest-level standby nine-rank petty official, know, he is too wronged. When I plagiarized, I also felt that these two sentences were not very appropriate, but I didn't have time to revise them in a hurry, so I just made do with it, what happened? I couldn't help but be cautious: "Please also ask the county to make it clear." ”

Chen Zhixian asked suspiciously: "Aren't you sarcastic that the clouds and the moon are not clear in the court, and Lao Shangshu is going to go to the court this time to wash and release the azure?" If you don't know the inside story, how can you be so profound? ”

Listening to Chen Zhixian's meaning, it seems that there is some battle in the court of the Jingshi, and Lu Shangshu, the patriarch of the Three Dynasties, will play an important role when he returns... can make the second grade Shangshu rush back to help the fist fight, that is at least the level of the elder.

Mocking the government... It was like a grievance like a frost in June, Li You asked the sky speechlessly. What a big contrast, I thought that the two sentences that were barely made up in the most unfortunate situation have become the two sentences that are most appropriate to the situation and the most set off the old Shangshu, no wonder he said that he wanted to hang in the study to encourage himself.

Unintentionally, could it be that we also wrote a satirical metaphor about the country and the people? How did Li You know who the original author's name was, and why he wrote these two sentences, vaguely remembering that Yi was a person in the Jiaqing period of the Braided Dynasty in his previous life.

He thought that as long as he paid attention not to plagiarize anti-poems such as the scenery of Qinyuan and the spring snow of the northern country, and only copied the poems that were carefully plowed through the head of the people in the braided Chao Text Prison, he would not be able to make political problems, but the slightest negligence would become a satire on current affairs... He didn't even recognize the names of a few old scholars.

Li You couldn't help but sigh with emotion, plagiarism is risky, you need to be cautious when entering the industry, and there is nothing more powerful in spiritual perception than some sensitive literati in these years, and casual scenery and flowers can reflect a truth.

He thought about it again and was relieved, and it didn't seem to be a matter of worrying when it got out. This is not the terrible age of the word prison, and the scolding is more ferocious, and writing a vague poem is not a big problem. Besides, Jingshi is too far away from him, even if Lu Shangshu is defeated, no one will care about what farewell words a little sesame official in Jiangnan has written, the key is what the top boss in front of him thinks.

Li You said more cautiously: "Xia Guan is really unintentional, seeing that the clouds and the moon are dark tonight, I don't know why I came up with these two sentences." Please don't care. ”

"Really? Actually, there is nothing. Chen Zhixian thought about it carefully, and also felt that Li You, a local bun, was not a person who could see the sky no matter how he looked at it, it was probably really a coincidence.

What a stroke of luck it must have been to be able to hit it so punctually. Chen Zhixian couldn't help but say with half emotion and half envy: "I hate that I can't write." For him, such an excellent poem that blends scenes and implies political irony, regardless of the right or wrong of the scolding, as long as it can be written, it can brush up the prestige of Shilin, and letting Li Xunjian write it is simply a pearl and a good word in vain.

Li You watched coldly, and judged that the county was stimulated to reveal his true feelings, and Bento didn't hear anything. If you think that the protagonist should step forward at this time and say, "The lower official can catch the knife and do it for him", then it is the incorrigible end, Li You made this mistake in his previous life.

You don't have to beat the snake with the stick all the time, and it's better if you don't hear it. It's like my boss who drank too much and revealed his short words to himself, my body is not good, and that words are useless. You also have to go up and say something, your subordinates will do it for you!? Chen Zhixian's sentiment is a similar situation.

Li You didn't worry about himself, but cared about Chen Zhixian. It's rare to have such an opportunity to have such an in-depth conversation with him, should I take the opportunity to find out who is behind the scenes of the county honor? Knocked on the side and asked: "This, will the court fight not implicate the county honor?" ”

Chen Zhixian shook his head and smiled, "You have too much heart, how can a magistrate in this official district be involved in the court." ”

Who asked you, Li You pointed to it quietly, what I'm really worried about is your backstage.

Chen Zhixian glanced at Li You a few more times before he spoke: "Until now, it's okay to tell you." In this court dispute, the official teacher is not implicated, and he must be safe and sound. ”

"How can you be in the officialdom, and you can't help yourself." Li You was worried and sighed for a long time.

I only heard Chen Zhixian say proudly: "Although it is a fighting method between two pavilion elders, but the official teacher is the prince of the court and the heavenly official of the ministry, he wants to get out of the matter, who dares to climb at will." ”

Officials of the Ministry of Books... Li You seems to have a golden thigh dangling in front of him, this is a backstage that is more practical than the old man with the vanity of the prime minister! Theoretically, the officials can decide for themselves whether to promote or stay the local officials below the fourth rank and the Beijing officials below the fifth rank, so for the junior officials, this official department can directly affect their fate more directly than the cabinet elders.

For example, the low-level officials in Beijing in this dynasty generally do not kneel to bow to the officials, but can bow their hands to salute, after all, there are too many high-ranking officials in Beijing, where to kneel over. But only when he saw that the elder of the cabinet and the secretary of the ministry wanted to kneel and bow, why did he not explain it.

It's a pity that Li You is a martial artist and does not belong to the scope of the selection of officials, but he thinks that he will not have opportunities in the future. No wonder Master Chen is not afraid of slow promotion, and dares to run out of the center to become the magistrate of the county.

I don't know how he climbed to the Ministry of Officials, Li You thought about changing his words to consult Master Huang. But there is another strange thing, why does Chen Zhixian have such a backstage, and he is a very high-ranking jinshi, and he can't enter the Hanlin Academy, which has the hope of the world? However, Li You was worried about provoking Chen Zhixian's bad memories, so he didn't dare to ask directly.

In the end, Li You asked a question that was inexplicable in the eyes of outsiders: "Last month, I read the newspaper that the old man Yang of the Criminal Department entered the cabinet as a minister, how is this person?" Won't something happen? ”

Chen Zhixian said: "When I was in Beijing, I heard that Yang Ge Lao was known for his fairness, and he had little to do with this time, so he shouldn't be caught." And why did you ask about him? ”

Li You avoided answering, and then took his leave: "The lower officials should pay more attention to the current situation from now on, so go back first." ”

The reason why he cared about Yang Ge Lao was because he was bored and found a news when he looked through the old mansion newspaper: At the beginning of this year, when Yang Ge Lao was still Yang Shangshu of the Criminal Department, he proposed to change the world inspection from a military position to a miscellaneous position, but it was over. This incident didn't cause much movement, but it attracted Li You's attention... Li You returned home, and Chang Sui kept carrying a lantern to send Li You to the second gate. After entering the backyard, Li You took the lantern and sent the long entourage, but he couldn't move. Because he has to make a difficult choice, one, two, three, which room should he sleep in?

Just as he was thinking about it, a small black shadow suddenly appeared in front of him from under the corner of the wall, startling Li You. Lifting the lantern to shine it, it turned out to be the maidservant Xiaozhu, so she asked, "What are you doing outside in the middle of the night to scare the master and me?" ”

If it were like this for other slaves and maids, they would have opened their mouths to scold them a long time ago. But this little girl was bought by himself when he was still a little servant, and the meaning is not ordinary. What's more, she was young, she was poor at the beginning, let her sleep in the kitchen and lay on the floor, and spent the most depressed time together, which was a bit of a sense of friendship in distress, and later she was raised as a backup concubine when she became beautiful. Therefore, Li You has a little preference for Xiaozhu in his heart, and his attitude is obviously different from that of other slaves.

Xiaozhu grabbed the old man's arm and said with a smile: "The slave family is here waiting for the master to come back, and they have been waiting until now, and it is cold to touch their faces." ”

"What are you waiting for me to do?"

Xiaozhu forcefully led Li You towards Jin Bao'er and her room, "Sister Jin and I waited for the master to come back to sleep, wasn't it like this before." ”

Li You went with the flow, saving himself from standing there and making difficult choices, who to sleep with is not to sleep. As he walked, he said, "It's cool in autumn, don't wait outside for so long in the future." ”

Xiaozhu asked in a low voice: "Are you afraid that you will always be dragged away by the slave family, and those two ladies will be unhappy?" ”

"What are you thinking about at such a young age?" Li You said with a smile.

"Alas, it's better to live in the official house before, and Sister Jin said the same." Xiaozhu sighed and said nostalgically.

"Aunt Jin naturally has a reason for saying this, and it is not the same for you wherever you live."

Xiaozhu suddenly stopped, and his delicate body was very unskilled and pasted on Li You and said: "Of course it's different, in fact, the slave family prefers the master to live in a small house when there is no one else, I really miss it." The second is to be with Sister Jin in the official residence. ”

The previous summer offoffensive was repeatedly frustrated, and the little girl, who had been in love for two months, launched an autumn offensive against the master tonight.

Li You hugged Xiaozhu's shoulder and asked seriously, "Do you really miss that time?" ”

"Hmm!" Xiaozhu nodded very firmly and touched the master's chest.

"Good!" Li You waved his hand and said: "I only know that you miss sleeping in the kitchen, and in the future, several kitchens at home will belong to you, and you can sleep as you want!" ”

Xiaozhu was given another shot by the old man who pretended to be puzzled, and the autumn offensive collapsed.

Master Li sighed secretly, the seedlings are getting more and more fragrant, how many times can the temptation be resisted?
