Chapter 557: Punching the Air
Lord Li resigned, of course, not only did he drop his official hat in front of the Son of Heaven, but he had to return the sealed seal, so he went to the General Procuratorate's office again.
He exercised his duties for the last time before sealing the guards. released the son of the Lu family, who had been in prison for nearly three months, and personally sent people to the Lu family's mansion with great fanfare.
Lu Zhaojie, the old head of the Lu family, walked out of the gate, did not look at his son, and hurriedly saluted Li You first. Li You returned the salute and admitted his mistake in front of everyone, "This official really has a lot of faults, and he has disturbed your mansion for three months, and he specially came to the door today to make amends." ”
The old family master's majesty and domineering attitude to Lord Li is what he has seen and heard with his own eyes, and even the two big backers of Peng Ge and the eldest princess can't be settled, even if he loses his official, he can't be easily offended, maybe he will recover one day.
But today, Lord Li lowered his posture and apologized, and he didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd, which made the head of the Lu family flattered and uneasy.
Master Li has pleaded guilty, even if this matter is completely revealed, no one will investigate this matter in a bad way, and it took more than three months to be rehabilitated. A person with a five-grade official body actually publicly apologized to the ordinary people, what else do you want?
After the news spread, the direction of the court suddenly changed, coupled with the matter of the Wenhua Palace, the siege of Peng Ge Lao from the Dragon Party was temporarily dumb. First, since Li You doesn't want to be dignified and shameless and openly admit that he is wrong, then Peng Ge Lao instructed the Lu family to sue Li You, and there is no talk of framing the minister. Second, this shows that Li You openly showed favor to Peng Gelao, and Li You had power behind him. It's very interesting.
On the other hand, the momentum of Peng Gelao, who had endured for two months, was suddenly pressing, and the bombardment of Bai Shilang was wave after wave. In fact, in the eyes of most courtiers, they have already looked down on the Conglong faction represented by Bai Shilang.
As far as Bai Shilang is concerned, the jealousy with Li You the previous time has already shown that he is frivolous, which makes many people mutter. And Lord Li lost his official position because of eunuch slander. It also made people feel that there was a feeling that the eunuch was vaguely cooperating with the white squire.
Although there is no direct evidence, Li You's angry accusation that Bai Shilang colluded with the palace before leaving, which may not be groundless. If so. Then it's not a matter of character, it's a matter of position.
Bai Shilang relied on the help of the lieutenant to enter the cabinet, wouldn't he become a cabinet elder attached to the lieutenant in the future? He was so young. And the Son of Heaven values it, if he becomes the first assistant, wouldn't it be a tragedy for civil officials? People of insight are all worried about this.
Peng Ge's old position has become stable again, and in this case, even the Son of Heaven is not good at forcibly pulling out the declining white squire into the cabinet. Because after tossing for a long time, the cabinet just can't vacate a vacant seat, if there is no vacant seat, how to install cronies? The emperor is not an immortal, and there is no way to conjure up a redundant position. It is also impossible to remove a Vice-Administered University Scholar for no reason.
There is also a small episode, one day the famous prostitute Yu Linglong suddenly announced that she had terminated the redemption agreement with Bai Shilang. The statement said: "When I heard the rumors recently, I suddenly felt that there were no eyes and no one in the past. I am willing to return ten times the deposit and redeem myself, and in the future, I will close the door and thank the guests, and only teach the piano music in the teaching workshop. It has nothing to do with outsiders, but Li Tanhua is gone. ”
Approaching the New Year, it is the most idle time for government affairs, of course, from another point of view, the war of words is even more distracted, or more energetic, anyway, there is nothing else. Idle is also idle. As a result, the court gradually moved towards Jinghe for ten years in a piece of saliva.
The war of words at the end of the year was not only the dispute between Peng Bai and Peng, but also the internal and external disputes, which were even more chaotic when mixed together. Countless Chinese and foreign impeachments of Duan Zhien and Li Youming's grievances were sealed into the palace, and fell like snowflakes on the imperial case of the Son of Heaven, almost burying the slightly immature shoulders of the Son of Heaven. …,
I heard that there was also a radical imperial history who was actively planning to give advice to death, but was stopped by Jiang Zongxian of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. The reason is very practical, the weather is too cold, in case you can't die and freeze into a cripple, it's too cost-effective, it's better to wait for the spring next year to warm up.
All this made Jing and Tianzi, who were "new to personnel", sad and at a loss. Among the important ministers of the court, he had the impression that only Li You was the youngest and most vigorous and dared to speak out, but now it seems that overnight, dozens of hundreds of Li You appeared in the court out of nowhere, making people extremely big.
He obviously didn't do anything wrong, so Li You was indeed too much, and Li You himself wanted to resign, why was he blamed by everyone?
Annoying! In fact, sometimes Jing and Tianzi secretly envy their peers Li You, who lives more chic and happier than him as an emperor - he can scold whoever he wants, and he can be romantic if he wants to be romantic, and there are countless famous prostitutes who only hear his name but don't see him.
In this way, all kinds of political achievements and prestige can still be brushed on the head, and there is no delay in promotion at all, and so many people have jumped out to help inexplicably if something happens!
Pushing aside the several feet high on the case, Jing and Tianzi got up and walked out of the imperial study room located in the apse of the Wenhua Palace, and the little eunuch hurriedly followed, and asked softly, "Where is the emperor going?" ”
Jing and Tianzi stopped, not knowing who to talk to about their troubles. Duan Daban? That's impossible, it's the troubles surrounding him, and the more you talk about him, the more annoying it becomes; Queen mother? That's not good, it's not easy to get into power, and within a few days, I went to the queen mother to complain, isn't it a shame; One queen and two concubines? They don't have that knowledge, and it's not annoying enough to involve the affairs of the foreign dynasty into the harem.
Thinking about it, Jing and Tianzi almost felt that they were lonely in a trance, no wonder the ancient kings were all called lonely and widowed. Fortunately, he still has a very reliable sister (but Master Li said that she has been very unreliable lately), so I went to find her.
It is not easy for the Son of Heaven to officially leave the palace, and as soon as he comes out, he will be earth-shattering, go out to the police, and move the people. Fortunately, the Ten Princes' Mansion is on the edge of the imperial city, and the residence of the eldest princess of Guide is close to Dong'anmen. So Jing and Tianzi drove lightly, without alarming more people, and drove out of Dong'anmen to the eldest princess's mansion in half a micro-suit.
The house slaves in the eldest princess's mansion are all allocated by the palace, and they are eunuchs and palace maids like the palace. When the official saw the holy driver, he pounced on him and kowtowed, and the Son of Heaven sat on the luan yu and instructed: "Open the door and spread the word!" I want to see the imperial sister. ”
The doorman replied: "Tell the emperor that His Royal Highness Chitose is not in the mansion. ”
Unfortunately, he actually pounced. Jinghe Tianzi asked depressedly, "Where did you go?" When will it be back? ”
The door official didn't dare not answer, "Chitose has confessed, and the Tao is that the former Lord Lixian suffered a misfortune and lost his official position, and he went to visit today to comfort the royal family." ”
It was Li You again, and the Son of Heaven was even more depressed, and shouted: "Open the door!" She has to go home, so I'll go in and wait! ”
In order to avoid suspicion, whether it is male or female suspicion or political suspicion, the eldest princess of Guide never goes to Li's house to visit Li You on weekdays (two years ago, Weifu sent poisoned wine to the door).
But now Master Li is "unlucky", but his fame has increased instead of decreasing. There are many people visiting Li You these days, and the number of guests in the Li family is almost several times that of before.
In this special period, the eldest princess of Guide visited the door with great fanfare, and others would not think crookedly, but only felt that it was the conscientious eldest princess who wanted to win the hearts of the people for the Son of Heaven. As a special woman who is recognized as having political attributes, this is the advantage.
This kind of good opportunity for both public and private stools, and Guide Chitose will naturally not let it go. The opportunity to brush up on the presence in the back house of the Li family is too rare, and she and Li You have only brushed it once in the past two years when they visited Yangzhou in the south.
The Son of Heaven visited the imperial sister and pounced, and the eldest princess of Guide over there also went a little unsmoothly to visit Li You, and she also had to pounce on the air. …,
learned that her husband was not at home, which made the excited Chitose Royal Highness very unhappy, and suspected that Li You was deliberately avoiding her. It is said that if you want to make an official visit, you have to make an appointment in advance, but the eldest princess just doesn't bother to do it.
Zhang San, who guarded the door, knelt down to see the eldest princess and defended his master: "My master really didn't deliberately hide from His Highness, it's really unfortunate." ”
A cold voice came out of the curtain of Luan: "Then where did he go?" As far as I've heard, the people who hang up the crown and resign are all Dumen thanksgiving guests, honestly staying at home, and you can't sit still? I heard that the Teaching Workshop Division has opened a new West Courtyard in the west of the city, which is not far from here, so I'm afraid I'm going to be happy. ”
Zhang San shouted: "Chitose has wronged my master!" All because of the lack of charcoal at home, and recently there was a shortage of charcoal in Beijing, and my lord was afraid that the domestic slaves would not be effective, so he personally took four or five people to the coal market today to buy them. ”
When the eldest princess of Guide heard this, she instructed her entourage: "Wang Yannu, send someone back quickly, and transport 10,000 catties of good charcoal from the palace to the Li Mansion!" ”
He shouted to Zhang San again: "You open the door!" Master Li has to go home, and the main palace will go in and wait! Besides, your wives are always there, and you can see them seer. Also, the charcoal fire in your mansion is a gift from the palace, you don't have to buy another one, you go and call Master Li back. ”
Zhang San got up and commanded to open the middle door and let the eldest princess in. From beginning to end, Zhang San has always wondered Chitose's tone, is this an outsider coming to visit, or is his aunt returning home?
Li You still didn't know about his own family, so he took the house slave and came back to the coal market outside Fuchengmen. After turning around, I found that the coal situation is still tense, and large and small coal shops still have fearless hoarding.
A few days ago, when he came to the coal market, although he did not suppress the situation of hoarding all coal shops, he sold all the coal stocks of the industry's leading Taisheng coal shops in one go, benefiting thousands of them. This movement is not small, and many people in the coal market have seen him.
Today, Master Li came to the coal market again, and it didn't take long for him to be recognized. Seeing that he was wearing civilian clothes, with no guards on the left and right, and he was very approachable, an old man boldly stepped forward and asked, "Why is the eldest master here today?" Still want to dispose of profiteers and sell coal? ”
Li You sighed: "The old man doesn't know, I ruined the good deeds of eunuchs and profiteers last time, and now I have been exempted from government and served as people, so I am powerless." I came here today to buy coal for my own family for the winter, but unfortunately it is not very easy to buy. ”
Within half an hour, rumors about Li You spread throughout the coal market -- the Lord Li, who investigated and punished profiteers a few days ago, was dismissed by the imperial court!
For a time, there were two days inside and outside. The coal merchants who had been worried for several days, fearing that Master Li would come back, were celebrating with a crown, and the people who were full of expectations for the arrival of the blue sky were like mourners, and they came to the void today
Profiteers are always there, and it is hard to get again! I saw such a one in the coal market, and he was easily killed by the bad guys, which is different from the commentary. (Your support is my biggest motivation.) )
