After talking with the prefect Wang, Li You left from the second hall and returned to the Tuiguan Hall. Thinking about the mentality of the old man Wang in his heart, the prefect of Wang treated Shen Tongzhi as tolerant and generous as he said? Maybe, maybe not, it's too small to believe what others say, and keep the doubt in your heart. Anyway, on the point of teaching Shen Tongzhi a lesson, the position is the same.

Why is the seven-product promoter sure to teach a small lesson to the restless five-product Tongzhi?

As the saying goes, no matter how clear your official is like water, you can't escape the slippery like oil. There are only a few officials, and they are all coqueries that come and go, and the officials who have been rooted in the local area for a long time and have intertwined relationships are the main force to undertake complicated official duties.

However, he said that although the number of servants in the government is large, Li Tuiguan can be said to be two out of three in the world, so what can't be a ghost? This is the capital that he dares to despise Shen Tongzhi.

There are a lot of doorways in the yamen, Li You himself has worked as a small official, and his family is three generations of public officials, and this set of affairs in the yamen can be regarded as a family history. So he, who was supposed to be a rookie official, was able to go smoothly without asking the master of the curtain to assist (except for going crazy and offending the political sufficiency once) to do it until now.

Sometimes it seems that Li You's background is not entirely a bad thing, and if he becomes an official as a scholar, how can he be able to read so quickly.

It is said that Li Tuiguan sat down in the public room and thought for a while, then called the chief attendant and asked: "Who is the scribe in the Tongzhi Hall now?" ”

"This little one didn't pay attention." Zhang San replied. I don't blame him, I follow the master all the time, how can I have time to collect these movements.

"Ask!"

Seeing Zhang Sanyi trot out, Li You sighed, and the entourage around him was a little insufficient.

Only a moment later, Zhang San returned. "Back to the master, Shen Tongzhi brought a few people to use it, and it has been more than ten days since he took office, and the original officials of the government have not been used in the Tongzhi Hall."

This is a bit interesting, Li You said secretly, I didn't expect Shen Tongzhi to be a very cautious person, flies don't bite eggs that are not sewn, but he knows that he wants to leave no seams.

The flowers bloom two and one on each branch, and in the Tongzhi Hall, the place where the Wang Zhifu has been sitting on a cold bench for two years has now changed owners. Shen Tongzhi has not been idle in the past few days, a person with a normal IQ will not be idle at this time, let alone Shen Tongzhi, who prides himself on being resourceful.

That day, Shen Tongzhi was violently counterattacked by Li You, and he was indeed so ashamed and angry that he hated it, but he still had a bit of qi cultivation and returned to normal overnight.

When it came to the next time, Shen Tongzhi appeared in the Tongzhi Hall with confidence, and analyzed the long entourage and the curtain seat: "The villain has no virtue and is not worthy of seriousness. From this point of view, Li You is not worried, how can a person who really has a strategy for the city government be shallow in his mood and anger, just a young Puffle. ”

"Master, Takami." The audience clapped the horse together.

Shen Tongzhi said again: "Governor Wang and Li You are old and young, they are from humble backgrounds and have shallow roots. It's just opportunistic and lucky. According to the official's speculation, Shi Shenzheng is very unkind to see these two people, they will not be able to last long, and it is also the official's opportunity, which must not be missed. ”

Everyone knew that according to the custom, the old man would have orders below, so they listened attentively.

Shen Tongzhi really commanded Ruoding to strategize, and first ordered his entourage Shen Ping Shen An said: "Sun Tzu said, knowing yourself and knowing that you will not be defeated in a hundred battles. You waited for thirty taels of silver, and went to the yazhong separately to inquire about Li You and the prefect Wang, and be sure to go into details. ”

Secondly, he instructed Master Yu to the curtain seat, "For today's plan, we must join Wu to fight Cao." Please ask Mr. to visit Xia Tong Judge to show his goodwill. After that, you can go to the Yamen and talk about friendship with the gentlemen there. ”

And they all went away.

In the afternoon again, the Shen people reunited. Mr. Yu said: "I went down to visit Lord Xia, and I was not very enthusiastic about his intentions. ”

Shen Tongzhi scolded: "The erector is not enough to conspiracy, short-sighted, and can't see the general trend clearly." Before Shi Dashen's hint, couldn't he understand it. ”

Shen An stepped forward and reported: "The little one invited two messengers to eat and drink, and they all said that the prefect of the king was really mediocre and inconspicuous, and he didn't say anything, but he said a lot about Li Tuiguan, and the surname of Li Tuiguan was very difficult to provoke. ”

"It's not surprising that retribution is the true nature of a villain." Shen Tongzhi commented.

Shen An continued: "I also talked about Li Tuiguan and Shi's participation in politics. I heard that it was on the canal, Shi Shenzheng's boat and Li Tuiguan's boat fought for the waterway, and Li Tuiguan was very dissatisfied with the loss, so he gathered people on the shore to beat Shi Shenzheng and burned Shi Shenzheng's official sedan chair. ”

Shen Tongzhi laughed, "Ignorant fools use false rumors, how can Li You have the guts." Seeing the slight knowledge, it seems that his domineering is also unpopular in the government, and everyone expects Shi Dashen to rectify him, otherwise this story will not be spread like this. ”

"Master, I heard that the servants of the government office privately called Li Tuiguan Xiaozhengtang, is this also unpopular?" Another attendant, Shen Ping, interjected.

The main hall in the government office refers to the prefect, so the meaning of the small main hall is naturally self-evident. Shen Tongzhi smiled even more happily, "Arrogance is so arrogant that you will bring about your own destruction." ”

Shen Ping said with a worried face: "Master, the truth may not be like this. According to the news obtained by the small inquiry, when the Benfucang case occurred, Xie Qin sent all the officials who committed the crime and took them to Beijing. The others left 30 officials involved in the case and handed them over to the government for disposal. When Li Tuiguan took office two months ago, he happened to take over. ”

Shen Tongzhi speculated: "What else can he do?" Presumably, it was just an opportunity to make a lot of money. ”

He first divided the thirty or so officials into two groups. One group is the chief officials, such as the scribes, the warden, etc., and the other group is the ordinary officials. Then divide and conquer, induce ordinary officials to report the chief officials, and sentenced eleven chief officials to be dismissed from their posts and confiscated from the army. The remaining ordinary officials were only forced to comply, fined 500 taels of stolen goods, and continued to serve in the government office for three years, during which they were not allowed to receive food and silver. ”

Master Yu suddenly sighed: "Good means, first to get rid of the prestige leader, and the results of the rest of these inspection results of the remaining probationary officials are all in his thoughts?" Who would dare not obey him. He can also say to the court that he should maintain the dignity of the yamen. ”

Shen Tongzhi's smile stopped abruptly.

It is said that at the beginning, those officials involved in the case thought that the capital crime could be avoided, and the living crime could not be escaped, so they had to spend the rest of their lives in the miserable wind and rain after being imprisoned and exiled. When you encounter a ruthless case judge, maybe it's all clicking.

Ren didn't expect Li Tuiguan to be gracious in the law. Let them go, and they can continue to serve in the government, as long as they keep the family business of the officials, the fine of 500 taels is really nothing.

At that time, the huge contrast between psychology and reality detonated the ecstasy of the twenty families, and the gratitude to Dade was small. When it came to the point where Ze was born, it was vulgar to talk about money, and they wanted to set up a shrine for their reborn parents, Lord Li, in the Houyaguan Residence, but the prefect of the king stopped this feudal superstitious activity.

These people, together with the eight relatives and friends placed by Li You, account for about two-thirds of the economic officials of the government office, so it can be said that Li Tuiguan has two of the three government officials.

At this time, the original leaders and officials were all assigned to the frontier, and the servants had no leader, just as the so-called situation created heroes. Li Tuiguan not only has the incomparable great attraction of being a local official, but also has a close relationship with the prefect, and he has shown several hands to prove that he is not a fool, not to mention the power of inspection on probation.

All kinds of factors add up, and faintly Li You has become the head of the golden chair in the minds of the officials and officials of Suzhou Prefecture, and is privately called "Xiaozhengtang".

From the special case of Li Tuiguan, it can be seen why the imperial court has set a system that prohibits officials from being officials in the province, and officials must be transferred when they expire. In just two months, Master Li was able to establish a situation with many supporters inside and outside the government, and how far will it go in a few years?

Fortunately, today is a time of peace and prosperity, and the world is very harmonious. If you encounter the troubled times everywhere, Master Li, who has developed for a few more years, is probably one of the eighteen anti-king thirty-six road smoke and dust.

After all the nonsense, a thousand words can be summed up in one sentence - Shen Tongzhi is a newly appointed second official who is much worse than the official of Zhengyin, and Li Tuiguan is a strengthened version of the local "big official". In the one-third of an acre of land in the government office, compared with the power, it is clear which is better and which is inferior.

Finally really figured out what kind of person he provoked, Shen Tongzhi, who had only been in office for more than ten days, suddenly had a big head, and never dreamed that Li You was such a strange existence, he had never met such a person in his official career.

According to this, as long as he is still in the mansion, and the little officials he sees on the left and right are Li You's people, then isn't he like a little insect planted in a spider's web?

So what... Shen Tongzhi forcibly suppressed the uneasiness in his heart, and said calmly: "This official is also an official of the imperial court, what can he do to me?" I heard that the prefect of the king endured humiliation and burden, stopped and didn't come out, and didn't care about everything, so he didn't show any flaws, and two years passed unharmed. We can follow suit and wait for the time of the day. ”

By the way, Shen An suddenly scratched his head and said: "It seems that I also heard that Li Tuiguan is very close to a Chen Xundao, and the little one almost forgot this." "This matter is not as fresh and interesting as the legendary jokes of Li Youda participating in politics and scolding the prefect, so it is understandable that I didn't think about it for a while... Shen Tongzhi's confidence was completely dissolved, could he still wait for the so-called heavenly time... Master Yu opened his mouth and cheered: "Dong Weng! As long as you are cautious in your words and deeds, it is a big deal to take an idle job or transfer to another party. Even if there is money and acres of grain and acres of official affairs to be handled, in the end, it is necessary to stamp the prefect's big seal to make a number, and if Li Tuiguan wants to frame him, he also has to implicate the mansion, which is not so easy. The key is to keep your personal virtues. ”

Cheer up, Shen Tongzhi was quite nervous, he really cowered in the Tongzhi Hall and didn't come out, he was bent on guarding against it, and every detail had to be watched out of Li Tuiguan.

Even after saying it, the guard was good, it seemed that the opponent had nothing to do, Shen Tongzhi felt that his strategy was very effective, and he couldn't help but be a little complacent. How did he know that although Li Tuiguan patted his chest in front of the prefect Wang to teach him a lesson, but before he could start, a ridiculous thing suddenly happened, which made Li You divert all his attention.

Shen Tongzhi didn't have any direct threat for the time being, Li You couldn't take care of it, Shen Tongzhi's shrinkage ** was only a joke in his eyes.
