I still have to go to this banquet, and I can't help but give face to my two friends. And one of these two people is the family of the world's No. 1 and fifth-grade official Wen Xuan Si, and the other is a respected royal family member and a close confidant of the Son of Heaven.

can invite the two of them to be lobbyists, and their status will not be too low. Li You secretly guessed that there were probably not a few cabinets.

At the turn of mid-to-late March, the weather was getting warmer, and Li You'an walked into the car, and according to the time on the post, he came to the Jinxiu Building on Qipan Street at the beginning of the lanterns. Now that he has come more often, the shopkeepers here all recognize him, and directly lead him to a window-facing Accord on the second floor.

Zuo Bangrui and Zhu Fanghe were already waiting inside, drinking tea and chatting. Li You hurriedly raised his hand and saluted: "I have been waiting for two people for a long time, and I am tormented!" The two got up and saluted, "Okay," and sat down together again, beckoning the store to serve food and drinks.

Whether it is Zuo Langzhong or Zhu Fanghe, they are all very familiar with Li You, and some things can be said bluntly, there is no need to hide them, and there is no need to be reasonable. After three rounds of drinking, Lord Zuo said to Li You: "Brother Li Xian, you are walking on the edge of the cliff now, and if you are not careful, you will step into the air." Can you perceive such a situation? ”

Of course, Li You could hear it and knew what Zuo Langzhong meant. However, he still asked knowingly: "Brother Zuo is talking about running a newspaper?" ”

Zuo Langzhong said: "You have been running a newspaper for a few days, and now you are putting everyone in danger, which can certainly make you happy for a while." But in the long run, what you don't see is a good thing. ”

Li You laughed a few times, "Brother Zuo thinks, can this situation be blamed?" ”

Lord Zuo said curiously: "How do you say this? ”

Li You put down the wine in the glass, and said with an angry look on his face: "If you don't say it modestly, in the past, it is enough to be worthy of the four words of hard work!" But after the elimination of the eunuch, he was sent by the imperial court to supervise the students, which was ugly and like exile!

Even so, he didn't dare to slack up, and still tried his best and racked his brains to come up with a way to run a newspaper. Who knows that there is a beginning, and some people jump out to seize the magpie's nest and will be expelled from the newspaper office of the State Supervisor, what is this? Therefore, it is the princes of the temple who fail me, not me who fail the court. Do the two brothers think so? ”

Lord Zuo and Mr. Zhu glanced at each other, Li You was right, he was indeed excluded twice in a row. However, this is the norm in Huan Hai, and those who can't do it can only endure it first. If you have the ability, there will naturally be a variety of "unwilling to be lonely" performances, which will give rise to a lot of jokes and anecdotes.

Thinking of this, both of them nodded and said, "Yes, the virtuous brother has been treated badly." ”

Li You's words were a little fierce and said: "Presumably someone entrusted you to talk to you below, and I don't ask who it is!" But my ugly words are put here, and some people have made the first year of junior high school. Then don't blame me for doing that fifteen! If some people encounter any trouble or lose face, it is also inferior to others, blame themselves, take their own humiliation, and complain! ”

Of course, Zuo Zhu and the others realized that this was indeed Li You's complaint, but he couldn't just complain, he was also putting forward conditions. Since some people want him Li You to stop, they have to show some sincerity, how to send him to sit on the cold bench. Just get him back.

As a friend of Li You, Lord Zuo sighed: "Those people are really so hard, why did they bother in the first place, but you are not a long-term way after all." I'm not just here to be a person, in fact, I still sincerely advise you, just do it in moderation, don't continue like this, there are some things that the Son of Heaven can do. You can't do it. ”

Zhu Fanghe, who had been listening quietly for most of the time, spoke at this time: "Brother Xian is angry because of this. Although there are extenuating circumstances, there are inevitably ridicules from embroidered messengers. So that the courtiers have doubts, so they cannot be uncautious. ”

Li You sneered: "There are mostly short-sighted people above the temple! My move is also for the good of the court, but the princes don't know it. You must know that the Son of Heaven is the Son of Heaven after all, although he is young and weak, he will always have his own ideas and his own means, how can he be easily fettered by his subordinates?

It's still the same old saying, it's better to be blocked than to be sparse! In the past, the method was factory guards, compared to this, what is it to run a few newspapers and issue a few instructions.

Could it be that the princes of the temple must let the Son of Heaven have nothing to do and will not stop on the old road of reopening the factory guard? If the princes of the temple can't even accept this bit of newspaper criticism, then don't be a courtier of the Ming Dynasty, it's better to rebel! ”

Zhu Bulang exclaimed: "Virtuous brother be cautious! Li You's words are really very deep, the relationship between monarchs and ministers is not something that can be discussed casually, but he thought about it carefully and found that what Li You said was not unreasonable. The Son of Heaven always needed means independent of the bureaucratic system to show his unfettered authority, and the newspaper instructions were much milder than the use of Dongchang Jinyiwei.

Li You had already said everything that should be said, so he closed his voice. Zhu Bulang couldn't help but comment, "You are a five-grade official, but you are in charge of Zaifu's heart." Today, the celebrant sent a post to the yamen with a holy decree, and all those who received the instructions of the newspaper must go to the palace on the 19th. ”

"There are two brothers who are worried, and they are not unreasonable people." No matter how sharp Li You is, he can't help but know the hearts of good people.

And on the 19th was the day of the court, and the officials of the capital entered the palace. While waiting outside the noon gate, several ministers who needed to play instructions because they were implicated by the Ming Reason and needed to play the same illness and hatred of the same enemy, naturally stood together and chatted and discussed the solution.

In fact, there are mainly three people, namely Lord Shangshu Hu of the Ministry of Works, who was named as inactive, Lord Guanglu Temple Qing Wang who was corrupt in procurement, and Lord Yin Yao of Shuntian Mansion who was mediocre in prison. Later, when the priest of the country heard the three of them talking about Mingli, he also joined in.

In addition, there is another person who has been named and criticized by Mingli Bao - Shoufu Xu Yue. But Xu Shoufu's status is too high, he is the first civil official, and he is not enough to surrender his identity to the other few people, so he naturally stays quietly in the first Dongchao room and waits for the court.

In the discussion of the four-person group, Hu Shangshu was the oldest and had the highest grade, and everyone respected him as the leader. I only heard Hu Shangshu talk eloquently: "Li Baixian is angry and wants to be angry, but we are innocently implicated, in fact, it is useless to say these things now, Lord Shoufu was named the same, not to mention my generation."

This instruction has been studied by the old man, and it is found that the most difficult part is that there are no rules, and it is at the discretion of the Son of Heaven to determine what it is, and it is really difficult for us to grasp; Secondly, most of the things that have been instructed are those old things and bad rules that have been passed down for many years. It's hard to get rid of the eagerness, and it's hard for me to wait. ”

"Could it be that Da Sikong means, except for trying to obey the Son of Heaven's heart, there is no perfect way to deal with it for the time being?" Yao Fuyin asked.

Hu Shangshu seemed confident, "If the ignorant people talk nonsense, the old man may not be able to do anything, after all, the mouth grows on others, where can he control it." But Li You dared to do so. As long as he is still an official of the imperial court, I don't believe that the old man can't cure him! ”

This is a bit of a shame, and the people nearby who heard Hu Shangshu's words immediately came up with this idea. If Li You was such a good person, he didn't know how many times he had died, would it be Hu Shangshu's turn to brag about it here?

Lord Qing of Guanglu Temple thought for a moment. inadvertently praised: "Da Sikong is so courageous! I don't know if the plan will be settled, can you tell us more about it? ”

Hu Shangshu hesitated for a moment, he couldn't talk about this matter in detail now, but at this moment, he heard the door open, and Xuan Qunchen lined up to enter, and immediately excused himself: "Now you have to go to the court, and you will know when the court is discussed." ”

When the imperial court outside the gate was completed, the court leaders went to the Wenhua Hall to discuss matters. Jinghe Tianzi Palace listened to the government, and couldn't wait to ask: "A few instructions a few days ago. You can reply in turn. ”

Xu Shoufu was of course the first, and he came out and said: "The minister has kidnapped the illegal slaves to the government, and as for the crime of the minister's lack of discipline, he will ask for punishment." ”

"Good!" Jing and Tianzi said approvingly when they heard this, and they felt that they had a small tap on Shousuke.

Xu Shoufu's family illegality is the best solution, it is not unexpected at all, he is just a house slave, nothing more than tears and slashing horses. Let's see how Hu Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry after Shoufu plays it right, this is definitely more interesting than Xu Shoufu.

But he said that Lao Shangshu saw that the first auxilia was completed. and it is also listed. Xiang Tianzi said: "The affairs of the streets of Jingshi are all due to the old age and incompetence of the ministers. I lost my hope, and after receiving the instructions, I learned from the pain and decided to rectify it! The Ministry of Industry originally had a street office, which was responsible for the repair of the ditches in the streets of the Kyoto Division, and was acted by Ichiro Naka of the headquarters, but it was currently lacking in personnel.

The minister saw that Li Baixian was in the prime of life, had excellent talents, and had a lot of construction experience in the local area, so he was really the best candidate, and now he was in an idle position, and it would be a waste of talent if he did not use it.

Therefore, dare to ask for the Holy Judge, and use Li Baixian to take charge of the street hall, which can show His Majesty's intention to reuse talents, and can help the ministers! Otherwise, there is no other person who can be used, and the minister would rather beg for bones. ”

He actually recommended Li You! There was a little uproar in the hall, and the people who were closer to Hu Shangshu outside the noon gate clearly remembered what Hu Shangshu said.

No wonder Hu Shangshu said, "As long as Li You is still an official of the imperial court, I don't believe that the old man can't govern him", this is to use Zhishi to blackmail the Son of Heaven to appoint Li You to help him manage the streets, and tell Li You to jump into the pit he dug himself, and it just so happens that Li You's grade is almost idle.

He is an old man who is afraid that he has long wanted to be a scholar, and now if he can successfully return to his hometown, he will naturally get rid of all his troubles, and no matter how bad the streets of Jingshi are, it has nothing to do with him.

When everyone thought about it, this trick was indeed a solution. If the Son of Heaven agrees, then the difficult matter of renovating the streets will be pushed to Li You; If the Son of Heaven does not agree, he will just borrow the request of the donkey to get off the slope.

The Son of Heaven faced Hu Shangshu's invitation, but he had not yet reacted, and then his eyes flashed and he saw the King of Guanglu Temple coming out of the queue in front of His Majesty Dan, and kowtowed: "The minister heard that Li Baixian has been an official of affairs for many years, and his heart is as careful as a hair, his judgment is clear, and he has insight into the behavior of merchants, and he is willing to recommend Li You and Li Guanglu Shaoqing to rectify all kinds of affairs in the palace and the court!" ”

The minister of the full hall was surprised, is Lord Wang going to learn from the great Sikong, or is it that the heroes see the same thing, and they have the same idea?

Hu Shangshu turned around and glared angrily at Wang Siqing, who should have been a comrade-in-arms in the same trench, did he want to snatch love and steal business? The reason why I didn't want to go into detail was that others had the same idea, but I didn't expect this situation to happen!

Just when Tianzi was a little overwhelmed, Lord Yin Yao of Shuntian Mansion suddenly rushed out of the class. "The minister has this music! As we all know, Li Baixian has been a criminal officer for a long time, and he has deep experience in the way of criminal names, and he is skillful and skillful in judging and punishing, and his own position is the rank of Fengxian official, so he invited the saint to appoint Li Baixian to inspect the Jingzhao criminal prison case! ”

Another one! Once again, the ministers in the palace were taken aback, and they immediately laughed again. What's going on today, all of a sudden, Master Li, who is so idle that he wants to open a newspaper office, is actually so hot that he has become a sweet spot that everyone is competing for? There is a feeling that the world is reversed, black and white.

After thinking deeply about the strange situation, many people suddenly woke up! The reason is very simple, shoot the man first and shoot the horse first, and capture the thief and capture the king first!

What is the value of Li You? As long as Li You himself is dealt with, it is equivalent to eliminating disasters and avoiding disasters! At that time, do you still need to worry about reasoning? Do you still have to worry about being attacked by the newspapers in the future? Do you still have to worry about running out of good words?

Not only can it eliminate disasters, but it can also be used for other purposes! Getting rid of Li You is equivalent to having one more powerful propaganda and propaganda machine out of thin air!

Qin lost its deer, and the world chased it! Li You now has only one vacant title in the official face, and he is basically an idle person, and any yamen can be operated in the procedure! It can be said that no matter which yamen invites Li You, it is tantamount to inviting a great god who adds blessing and color!

At the time of the arrival, the countless yamen officials in the hall, except for those who had a bad relationship with Li You, were all moved and eager to try, and they all considered whether to ask the Son of Heaven to let Li You come to the yamen to serve or take charge of affairs?

There are also people who are heartbroken, why didn't they think of this earlier! Otherwise, while Li You is idle, he will burn the cold stove, and now it is equivalent to holding the Mingli report and laughing at the wind and clouds!

People with sincerity have already begun to act, such as the stone sacrifice wine of the country. He said to the Son of Heaven: "The minister received the grace of the king and served as the president of the newspaper, but he was helpless and incompetent, and he really failed to meet the expectations of the people, and he was ashamed!" Therefore, please remove the position of the president of the minister, and Li Yixian will still serve as the president, so as to show the sanctity of His Majesty! ”

The stone sacrifice wine was the fourth to come out to recruit Li You, and everyone was already numb to this, and did not arouse the slightest surprise.

But I also have to say that the invitation of the stone sacrifice wine is quite sincere, at least he himself admits that he has no ability, and he is willing to let his power be damaged, give up the president's official errand, and ask Li You to take over.

Lord Shi is really out of public intentions, and none of the other people recruited Li You on the premise that their own interests were damaged.

Immediately, one after another, three or four more officials of the yamen hall who were not to be outdone came out to recommend Li You to serve in the yamen.

The flowers gradually became charming, and the situation changed like this, which no one had expected before. Jing and Tianzi were deeply confused, and they really didn't know what to do.

If Master Li was qualified to stand in the Wenhua Hall at this time, he would definitely sigh with tears and laughter: "This is a world where strength is respected. ”
