In the ninth year of Jinghe, the Son of Heaven toured the south, and the banner was "to pay homage to the ancestral tombs, patrol the river, and observe the people's customs." "In a sense, it is also a momentum before the pro-government of the Son of Heaven.

Therefore, on this southern tour, the Empress Dowager Cisheng, who was in power, did not accompany her, but only sent her daughter Princess Guide and her younger brother to accompany her to visit relatives in Suzhou instead of her.

On April 20, Li You, who was sitting in Yangzhou, received news that the imperial driver had arrived in Huai'an Mansion. The Son of Heaven will inspect the Qingkou Tangba at the intersection of Huang, Huai and Yun in Huai'an Mansion, and then set off from Huai'an Mansion to the ancestral tomb in Sizhou, and return to Huai'an Mansion to continue south along the canal.

On the same day, the guide officer arrived in Yangzhou City, surveyed the palace and roads, and taught the local driving etiquette.

According to the instructions of the guide, the qualifications for driving are also different according to the grade. Officials with more than three grades can go to the provincial boundary or provincial boundary to greet them; Officials and ordinary people below the third grade are only allowed to go to the county border to meet them.

As one of the five key places in the southern tour, Yangzhou should be welcomed from afar. Lord Li was full of joy, and pretended to be helpless: "I have had many incidents in Yangzhou recently, and there is no one in the city who is above the top three products, so what can I do." ”

The guide officer glanced at Li You a few times, "Li Taishou has also been an official of the chamberlain, and he has the old relationship with the Son of Heaven, so he should be able to make a special exception." Then I worked hard and went to Baoying County to meet the car. ”

Lord Li sighed and said: "In order to avoid my rudeness in Yangzhou, this official has no choice but to transgress."

Immediately, Li You set off for Baoying County overnight. This Baoying County is connected to Huai'an Mansion, which is the northernmost county of Yangzhou Prefecture, and you must go to Baoying County to pick up the car at the border of the prefecture.

When passing through Gaoyou Prefecture, he also brought with him an old minister, Lord Wei, who was a three-grade servant and was naturally qualified to go to the prefecture to greet him.

A few days later, Li You and Wei Shilang arrived in Baoying County, and the magistrate greeted them and arranged for a rest.

But it was said that in the middle of the night, Li You was half asleep and suddenly heard a soldier come to report that a royal boat was coming!

He hurriedly put on his court clothes neatly, and waited out of the county town Beiguan with the old waiter and Bao Yingzhi County, the county Cheng, the chief bookkeeper and other non-idle people, and went to the waiting pavilion along the river.

There are a number of seats in the upper row of the pavilion, and since there are seats, there are up and down at that time. Lord Li, the leader of the group, said humbly as usual: "This official is young and knowledgeable..."

Before he could finish speaking, suddenly a fiery red figure shook beside him and sat down in the main seat first. Li You stared at it, it was the old squire of Wei, and he was the only one wearing a third-grade official robe, and his figure was red. However, this agility is really not commensurate with his age, and he can't see the skills of a sixty-nine-year-old man.

The old waiter smiled arrogantly: "The old man is old and frail, he can't support it, sit down first, don't blame you, please sit down!" ”

This old man who relies on the old and sells the old! Li You frowned, he really couldn't imagine that there was such a person who came out to steal the limelight. Although Wei Lao Lang is a third grade, he has already been a leader, and it is enough to have a second position, and the big lama is also disrespectful to the old man, so how can he deal with himself as a chief official?

But Li You didn't have much to do for a while, and he couldn't really do anything to the old-timers in the officialdom, and he was even more reluctant to sit down. I had to say stupidly: "The official is still sleepy, go down and walk along the river." ”

After saying that, he brushed his sleeves away, and heard the old man Wei say to the officials of Baoying County: "More than ten years ago, the old man was Zuo Chunfang, and at that time, he was in the East Palace, and the emperor valued it, and the old man had taught him to read and write..."

Zuo Chunfang University Scholar, Zheng Wupin, Tai Xianzi Donggong Zhan Shi Mansion subordinate official, in fact, is the official of Hanlin special transfer, is the most noble word forest official. In the officialdom, it is often said that the Hanlin Fang Bureau, this Fang refers to the left and right Spring Fang.

Listening to what he meant, didn't he teach hundreds of family names and thousand-character texts today... Li You was slandered, one of the most noble words was born as a forest official, and he was mixed with Zhishi to be the third grade, and it was really not ashamed. …,

There were houses by the river, and Li You asked someone to borrow a chair and sit under the eaves facing the riverbank and wait.

At the dawn of the day, I heard someone shouting, "Here we are!" Here it comes! ”

Li You quickly got up, walked to the dock and looked north, and sure enough, there was a group of boats coming along the water, faintly about dozens.

When he got closer, he saw a giant yellow boat about ten zhang long and two or three zhang wide, and there were two small boats accompanying him to escort him. Li You knew that this giant ship was the imperial boat.

When the boat was anchored, there were samurai guards on the shore, and an edict was sent from the boat to everyone to come forward and meet them.

But I saw that a throne was placed on the deck of the imperial boat, the Son of Heaven was standing on it, and the attendants were holding all kinds of honor guards around the left and right, while Li You and others bowed three times and bowed nine times on the shore.

Lord Li was about to speak, but he heard Wei Shilang beside him take the lead again, "Minister Wei Tong and the others knock to see the Holy Lord!" ”

Li Youden was furious, this old man is too ignorant of what to do, and he doesn't look at the occasion if he shows off indiscriminately? If it weren't for the fear of losing his manners, he would have wanted to get up and kick him into the river.

At this time, I heard the Son of Heaven ask above: "Qing is the prefect of Yangzhou?" Could it be that the queen mother chose a new position? ”

Wei Shilang's face was flushed with embarrassment, and he didn't expect that the Son of Heaven had no impression of him.

Li You laughed and broke his belly, do you really think that the Son of Heaven is a god who will never forget it? When you were Zuo Chunfang, the Son of Heaven was just a four or five-year-old child, and it would be hellish if he could remember it clearly after more than ten years.

At this time, Lord Li shut up and said nothing, and Wei Shilang was still embarrassed there. However, a thirty-year-old inner supervisor next to him whispered a few words to the Son of Heaven, and the Son of Heaven made a great realization, "It turned out to be Mr. Wei..."

Li You immediately said in a loud voice: "Chen Yangzhou Li You knocks to see the Holy Lord!" ”

Jinghe Tianzi had no choice but to turn his head to Li You and said, "I remember that Qing has been in Yangzhou for a year, what is his current position?" ”

The officials below were secretly frightened in their ears, there are tens of thousands of officials in the world, and the Son of Heaven can actually remember that Li You has been in Yangzhou for a year.

"Yangzhou Prefecture is in charge of government affairs, Jiangdu County, and the garrison department of the government, and the salt law is rectified."

The Son of Heaven smiled: "It's still as long as ever." ”

The thirty-year-old inner supervisor next to him coughed heavily, and the Son of Heaven restrained his smile and asked according to the serious routine: "How is the year in Yangzhou this year?" ”

Li You replied: "There is a drought in the spring, and this year's harvest will fail." ”

The Son of Heaven bowed slightly, "I almost suffered from the mausoleum of my ancestors last year, but I gave up my life to save him, and I thank him from the bottom of my heart." ”

Li Youqian said: "It is really the duty of a minister, and if you receive the grace of the country, how can you not repay it." ”

After answering with Li You, the Son of Heaven asked the names of the other officials one by one.

He ordered a plate of pastries to be taken out and given to the people, saying, "There is nothing else in the boat and cart, but to comfort the labor." ”

He also said: "Send Li You to Houzhou and accompany him to Yangzhou." ”

In the envious eyes of everyone, two guards led Li You to the back of the fleet and sent another big ship. The guard explained to Li You: "The ministers who accompanied him gathered here during the day to prepare for the summons. ”

The little inner eunuch who was waiting outside the door politely pushed the door open and invited Li You into the cabin. Before he could see the scenery and characters in the cabin, Li You felt the boundless cold air and murderous aura rushing towards his face, and the inside and outside of the cabin seemed to be completely two-dimensional.

Looking closely at the people chatting in the cabin, even Li You, who is a master of the arts, has the urge to turn his head and run away.

Among them, there is Yuan Ge, a scholar of the Wenhua Palace, who has scolded him countless times, Uncle Qian Guo, whose son he was sent to the ministry without knowing what the result, there is a protégé of the former Suzhou Prefecture Counselor Shi, Lord Qin, a waiter of the Ministry of Works, and a certain person who is the captain of the Ministry of Justice...

He knew everything else, such as the waiter of the Ministry of Rites and the bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, but what made him even more strange was that there was also a young seventh-rank official in his twenties who he didn't know who also glared at him viciously...... Alas, there are always chores, and so many are squeezed out when it is written. Started first, continue in the evening! [This text is provided by Qihang]
