In September of the sixth year of Jinghe, Li You was officially appointed by the imperial court as the inspector of the West Water Inspection Division, with brackets, and was borrowed for ten years. During the period of his loan, he was no different from other inspections, and there were a lot of life teeth and so on. As long as there is no accident in the past ten years, even if Liu Lao inspects the letter to cancel the loan, it will not be possible, and the imperial court edict can be changed at will like child's play, and Li You's term of office is set for ten years, which can only be returned to the Liu family after expiration.

With the current dynasty system, there is theoretically another situation... If Li You divorces his wife and dissolves the relationship with Liu Lao's inspection and son-in-law, he will lose the qualification to borrow his post as an official, and then he will have to find someone else to replace him. By analogy, Liu's lady is to Li You and Jinshi is to Chen Zhixian.

Anyway, with Lu Shangshu's private message, the efficiency is high, Li You originally thought that he would have to wait for two or three months with a temporary title of sixteen words, but he didn't expect it to be done so soon. When he changed into the dazzling fresh official robe like the tender green grass in spring, with a very ugly military attache seahorse patch sewn on his chest, and a black gauze hat, Inspector Li was very embarrassed to evaluate his new image. In addition, I still feel that something is missing, think about it carefully, the official seal is not in my hand, this copper pimple was carried home by Lao Taishan stingy, and now I have to find him to come back.

But Li You went to his house first and asked his father to have a good time. I saw that Father Li was overjoyed, circled around Li You three times, and said with emotion: "My family has been in a family for more than ten generations, and I finally saw the majesty of the official uniform." ”

However, with Li You's aesthetics, I really don't think this dazzling grassy green official robe is better than the low-key and stuffy style of the officials' green shirts.

"It's a pity that I still have to give it back to others in the future." Father Li sighed again. In a blink of an eye, his face was fierce, one hand was the palm and the other was a fist, splitting the fist with his palm, and he made a clicking motion to Li You, "The official position has been reached, do you want to never suffer in the future?" If there is no creditor, it is not borrowing. ”

Li You was taken aback, his father's idea was too simple and rude to be mad. hurriedly said: "Don't, I have my own ideas, I must ask my father not to worry about this matter." ”

Father Li seemed to think about it: "Yes, come and say that Fang Chang is not in a hurry." ”

After repeated admonitions, he said goodbye to his father, and Li went back to the county seat and went to Yue's house to ask for the official seal. When he arrived at Liu's Mansion and was led in, he saw Lao Taishan training his son in the hall, and Aunt Fu, the biological mother of the young son, persuaded him.

Liu Lao's expression was complicated, he looked at his son-in-law who was wearing an official robe for the first time, nodded and motioned for him to sit down first, and continued to reprimand his youngest son. Li You listened to it, and it seemed that this kid was too stubborn and made Mr. Xueguan angry.

Aunt Fu protected her son, raised her chin slightly and glanced at Li You, and persuaded Liu Lao to inspect: "Don't move your liver, my son will have a future, and when he grows up, he will naturally have a patrol to sit in, and he doesn't need to study and study, so why blame him for some schoolwork." ”

Li You smiled secretly, women have long hair and short knowledge, today I have an official position, why put up with your yin and yang weirdness. At that moment, he got up and walked to his seven-year-old brother-in-law, stretched out his hand to touch his head, and said very lovingly: "Brother Jie, you still have to read the book well, and your brother-in-law will help you take the exam in the future." Otherwise, what kind of background do you have, do you want to mix in the family for a lifetime? ”

Liu Lao inspected the fox suspiciously: "Son-in-law, what do you mean by this." "This Li You is usually not a person who lacks heart, why does he want to pry his son naked in front of him to take the road of testing his fame, thinking that he can borrow his post and not pay it back?

Li You shook his head and sighed: "Ten years later, Brother Jie is afraid that there will be no inspection of this family business to inherit." At this time, if you are not motivated, the boss will be sad. ”

As soon as the words came out, everyone in the room was shocked. The little maidservants waiting on both sides felt that their uncle seemed to be crazy, even if they wanted to occupy the family business, they had never seen such a blatant and unstrategic one.

Inspector Liu suddenly heard this, but he was even more suspicious, "Don't talk nonsense in a virtuous son-in-law, people should be self-aware." ”

Aunt Fu pointed at Li You and shouted to her husband: "Look at the good son-in-law recruited by the master, pick and choose a white-eyed wolf, and then start to rely on it." He shouted to Li You again: "Don't be delusional! This patrol seat is surnamed Liu after all, you can't remember it! ”

Li You smiled silently. Brother Jie watched the adults arguing inexplicably.

Liu Lao inspected Aunt Fu and stopped Aunt Fu's shouting, and asked in a deep voice: "It's better for the virtuous son-in-law to make his words clear, and Hugh made the family have a misunderstanding." ”

"Old Taishan, don't just look down at the ground, but also look up at the genius." Li You said inscrutablely.

Liu Lao was finally teased by Li You and lost his surname, and said: "Don't be a virtuous son-in-law, if you have something to say, the old man is not deaf and can still listen!" ”

"Don't worry, old Taishan, you probably don't often go to the county office to read the newspaper. It can be seen that at the beginning of the year, some people in the DPRK and China called for the inspection to be changed to miscellaneous duties, and it is not clear what this means. ”

For these people here, the distinction between military attachés and miscellaneous officials (miscellaneous duties) is not important, and it is not important whether they belong to the Ministry of Officials or the Ministry of War, and there is only one important difference, that the inspection is a succession from generation to generation, and that miscellaneous duties cannot be hereditary..." Inspector Liu said coldly, at this moment, he really couldn't get used to his son-in-law's face in all this. As everyone knows, he usually behaves like this, and his son-in-law is doing the same, and he can be regarded as self-inflicted.

Li You was surprised and said: "Old Taishan's words are wrong. That's not the end of it, there's no follow-up. But looking at the Di newspaper again, Lord Yang, who asked for a change of position, became a university scholar in July and joined the cabinet as a cabinet elder. The son-in-law thinks that this Manchu Dynasty official, someone should always go to pat the horse and welcome him, and bring up the old things again? ”

Liu Lao inspected a little regretted. He himself was born in a nursing home, so he really had no interest in reading any official documents, and at the same time, he felt that the major events in the DPRK and China had nothing to do with his own inspection, so he basically didn't pay attention to it. Do you want to be put together by your son-in-law here?

There is another sentence that Li You didn't say: even if no one mentions this matter again, he can still think of ways to make one. Ten years is not a short time, enough for Li You to slowly find an opportunity, there are so many well-spoken imperial historians in the court, they can always find a way to buy one or two to make noise. Presumably Yang Ge Lao will not deny it for the sake of his own face, this is not a big deal for other court bigwigs, the small inspection is just some soil grains, and you can do whatever you like.

It can be said that Li You's idea may not be successful, but there is always a glimmer of opportunity.

Some people may ask, what are the benefits of turning inspections into miscellaneous duties? Becoming a miscellaneous post is equivalent to the abolition of the original succession system in the position of inspection, and it is attributed to the circulation of officials, and there is no such thing as borrowing and returning to work. If you don't have to return to your post, Li You, who happens to be in power, can take advantage of loopholes and sneak into officialdom for a lifetime. Li You desperately befriended Zhao Daguan and Chen Zhixian for this step.

It was far away, but it was said that the conversation between Weng and his son-in-law was still going on in this hall. Although Aunt Fu didn't understand the miscellaneous military position or something, and she didn't understand the implied meaning of what Li You said, she knew that if she became a miscellaneous position, her son would not have a ready-made official in the future, and her face showed great concern.

"How many years has the country handed down the rules, and you say that it should change? Young people should not think too highly of themselves. Liu Lao pretended to be disdainful.

Li You said with a smile: "It is only right that Old Taishan will read more historical books and old records in the future, don't just listen to the commentary and watch the romance." The son-in-law had nothing to do, and he went to find some literature and historical records to read, and he also found some discoveries. In the early years of the dynasty, Taizu designated the inspection as a miscellaneous job, which became a permanent system for more than 200 years. It wasn't until after the Jiashen Rebellion that the Hongguang Dynasty changed the inspection to a military attaché to prepare the army and guard against the Annihilation, but when the peace is said to be peaceful today, why should this case be maintained logically? Patrol inspection is the ancestral system for miscellaneous duties. ”

Liu Lao inspected Li You's quotation from the scriptures, and he was very confident in speaking, so he began to be a little nervous. couldn't help but sit up straight, and secretly said in his heart, could it be that there is such a danger as he said? But one thing is for sure, this son-in-law has definitely endured it for a long time, and deliberately waited until today's official position was in hand, and everything was confirmed before he ran over to reveal these insights.

Li You looked a little proud, and continued to tell the story, "A few words from Lord Yang were excerpted from the newspaper, and the son-in-law felt that what he said was very reasonable. Old Taishan, please listen to me, he said: The inspection is called a military attaché, but it has been in the place for a long time, and there are many cases of fraud for generations; Therefore, today's inspection is innumerable for the strong bully (a certain surname Guan Laozhang is crying), which can be a local harm, and the people have heard that the patrol inspection is a small county, and the situation can be seen. You see, when the elders of the court have spoken, what they said is to the point, there will always be some changes in the past few years, maybe the new official needs three fires to take office..."

After listening to the son-in-law's analysis, Liu Lao's face changed constantly, could it be that what the son-in-law said about looking up at the sky? Could it be that he spent countless efforts just to give an official position to a foreign surname for nothing? Will this family business be cut off from his own hands? I hate myself for not reading more.

Thinking about it, the old inspector suddenly made an "ah" sound, raised his head and fell, closed his eyes and passed out, and his body slid down on the back of the chair.

Looks like it's a big deal! can shock Aunt Li's body, you old man don't want to have a problem at this time, and hurriedly got up and stepped forward to support him.

How can this be, it's too exaggerated... I never felt that my father-in-law's psychological quality was so poor before, and I just said a possible surname to scare and scare him, which is not something that has been determined, how to make Lao Taishan faint in a hurry.

He didn't want anything to happen, and he would be a fighter, but how to say that Old Father-in-law Liu also lent him an inspection, which was gracious. As soon as he got the official position, he made his father-in-law angry, and his reputation was too ugly.

"Go and call Dr. Zhang!" Aunt Fu was also anxious, and commanded the servant.

The mother of the Liu Mansion, Wang Shi, also arrived in a hurry, commanded the servants to carry Liu Lao back to the room, and asked Li Youdao, "What's the matter?" ”

Aunt Li, who played with fire and was angry with her father-in-law, was a little embarrassed in front of her mother-in-law, "I just discussed with my father-in-law about the possible change of position during the inspection, and I don't want my father-in-law to be angry." ”

"What reassignment?"

"The son-in-law speculated wildly that in the future, the imperial court might change the inspection from a hereditary military attache to a miscellaneous position."

Wang glanced at Li You deeply, "You are really a good pair of sons-in-law, I'm a little worried about my daughter." ”

Li You sincerely apologized and said: "The son-in-law is young and frivolous, and he should not have a surname with his father-in-law, it is a great crime." He felt that he was a little too much, a little cheap and sold a lot of good, no wonder the old father-in-law was blocked.

Wang waved his hand and said: "Don't talk about this yet, there is no other man in the family, you go to the gate to greet the doctor." ”

Li You took the order and left.
