Lord Li, the foreign official to be elected, who almost ascended to Tianzitang and was Tian Shelang in the twilight, dragged the body of the court staff that suffered miserably (or was happy), but when he returned to the apartment, he saw Zhang San coming up and listening to his report: "The little one does not disgrace his mission, but he happened to find a suitable house outside the east gate of Chang'an." I heard that his family offended the big man by not opening his eyes and was sent to other places, so he wanted to sell the house. Today, the little one went to tell the price, just waiting for the master to speak after reading it! If you buy it, you can take the housemother over for a reunion. ”

Li You said angrily: "No need! I also don't open my eyes, I have been sent out of Beijing, and I will go on the road in three or two days, and I will see what kind of house! ”

What the? Zhang San was shocked, almost not believing this sudden good news, "What the master said is true?" Don't tease the little ones..."

"Phew! I don't have the heart to joke with you. Li You walked towards the backyard, although he only received two strokes of the court staff, but just in case, it was better to take some medicine.

Zhang San followed the old man and sighed as he walked: "The capital is really not easy, and it is difficult to accommodate the master's wisdom and martial arts, it is really embarrassing and crying..."

"Are you crying with joy?"

"That's... No, it's not... Don't get me wrong, sir! ”

Humble as Zhang San is also a person with ideals... In the official yamen, he followed Master Li as a prestige and received some small gifts by the way, and he was honored as an uncle, which was his pursuit.

But in the capital, Master Li couldn't open a government and build a mansion, so he had no place to be an uncle, and his life was really lonely like snow.

After a night without words, Li You got up early, washed up under Xiaozhu's service, couldn't take care of the meal, and hurriedly went out.

A quarter of an hour later, Li You appeared in the lobby of the front yard of the Ministry of Officials, which was always like a busy city except during the Chinese New Year. If the temple is a vanity fair for high-ranking officials and dignitaries, then it is equivalent to a talent market responsible for the employment of all middle- and low-level officials in the world.

Under the astonished gaze of a group of officials who were waiting to be elected, a young boy who was obviously not an official of the ministry "snapped" and threw his sword on the case of the junior officer, and walked straight to the back hall without saying a word, arrogant and rude.

What surprised the officials to be elected even more was that the officials of the Quanbu who had always been arrogant and had a third rank in the official department actually turned a blind eye to him and let him do as he pleased. Judging from the return of the edict, this person is obviously also here to elect officials, but his aura is strong, is he the queen of the minister, or the prime minister's protégé?

Li You walked through the courtyard gate and went directly into the public house of Lord Bunxuan Shiro.

Lord Zuo stood up and arched his hand, not knowing whether to congratulate or comfort, the Queen Mother's move "Crying Golden Palace" was really a god to block and kill God... In the end, I had to talk about business first: "I received an urgent edict yesterday, and I knew that you would come today." ”

"What's the location?" Li You asked.

Zuo Langzhong was prepared, took out a stack of papers and handed it to Li Youdao: "This is the existing vacancy, you can see it first." ”

Master Li took it, and when he was the first one to catch, his eyes flashed, and he pointed: "It's him!" ”

Zuo Langzhong took a look at it, and it was from the Sanpin River Changludu to transport salt envoys... Mistake!

Lord Zuo's swift splitter snatched back the book in Li You's hand, took off the top few sheets, and then handed it to Li You, "Six grades and below are what you should see!" ”

Li You smiled, "Why doesn't Brother Zuo recommend one or two?" ”

Zuo Langzhong suggested earnestly: "For your reputation and long-term plan, Sanbian, Guangxi, and Yunnan and Guizhou are all good places to go, and Qiongzhou is also good, but it is really not possible to go to southern Jiangnan." Other places are not miserable enough to raise hope. ”

Let's see for yourself... Li You, who is very greedy for wealth and prosperity in essence, broke out in a cold sweat, and lowered his head to flip through the book book. Unintentionally, I saw the word "Lin'an", which seems to be a good place, it should be from Zhejiang. As the saying goes, there is heaven on the clouds, and there is Suzhou and Hangzhou under it, and Hangzhou is the ancient Lin'an, although it is worse than Suzhou, it is not bad, and it is also very close to the hometown. And he pointed out, "This is okay!" ”

Zuo Langzhong showed a teachable expression, and said very pleased: "You really have insight, Lin'an Mansion in Yunnan?" ”

Cloud... Yunnan?! Master Li was speechless, who could tell him why this dynasty used Lin'an, a symbol with historical significance, in a certain prefecture in Yunnan?

Li You still didn't want to be too far away from Suzhou, so he put down his register again and asked: "When I changed my position, this batch of officials had special favors, and they were not subject to the limit of this province and five hundred miles..."

Zuo Langzhong shook his head and said: "Hugh has to mention it again, Jiangnan is not successful." If you are really elected to Jiangnan, it will be a big deal, and it is expected that this official will be dismissed and deposed together with you. ”

Li You sighed: "The wanderer is homesick, but what can I do. ”

Zuo Langzhong saw Master Li's tasteless attitude, and secretly thought that he was going to do Taoguang's obscure way? That's right, if the high-profile Lord Li at this time is sent to a remote state capital, it will not be dethroned but almost derogatory, it can be called too public, I am afraid that I will be criticized for selling my reputation and slandering Our Lady. In these years, there is always no shortage of mouth cannons.

After thinking about it for a few more times, Lord Zuo once again made a suggestion: "Now that the south is directly subordinate to the river, the south and the north can not be avoided. You can't go to Jiangnan, you can still go to Jiangbei, and it is very convenient to go down the canal and Suzhou. ”

This is a professional, Li You hurriedly asked: "Is there a shortage in Jiangbei?" ”

Zuo Langzhong was a little puzzled: "There is only one Jiangdu County magistrate. However, it can be sentenced by the government, and it is still six products. ”

Master Li calculated in his heart - although he was only a magistrate, he seemed to have been wronged by him, but he was also an official of the Zhengyin Hall, and his grade had not been lowered, so he could act as a magistrate with the general judgment of the Liupin Mansion.

The name Jiangdu County may not be very eye-catching, but its other name is Yangzhou City... Yangzhou City, where the waist is wrapped around 100,000 and the crane is riding down Yangzhou! Jiangdu County is the capital of Yangzhou Prefecture, and there are several super prosperous metropolises in the world.

Yangzhou City is only about 300 miles away from Suzhou, the customs and customs are similar, Yangzhou, a rising star in this dynasty because of salt, imitates the trend of Suzhou is also famous, it is definitely easy to adapt there!

After thinking about it, Li You was a little looking forward to it, but he really didn't expect to leave such an excellent place for him, and he was very satisfied in all aspects.

Master Li was excited here, but Zuo Langzhong showed a little worry.

Jiangdu County is the capital of Xiongdu, and it is also the core place of the two industries of the national dynasty and the salt and cao industries, and the affairs are complicated and difficult to govern. From an official point of view, the salt transportation division, the prefecture, and the county are in the same city, and it is only 200 miles away from Nanjing, and I also heard that the governor of Fengyang, who is in charge of the four prefectures and three prefectures in Jiangbei, also wants to move from Huai'an to Yangzhou... The combination of various factors can be called a tangled relationship, which is very complex.

Therefore, the magistrate of Jiangdu County has always been a hot potato, and he generally selects experienced and skilled officials to take up posts, and even many officials are reluctant to go to Jiangdu County. Can Li You, a young man who still has a bit of jumping, do it?

didn't mention it, but said that in the lobby of the ministry, a group of officials waiting to be elected who continued to work hard suddenly saw the young man who went straight to the back hall of the ministry's department come out, and it was probably only a stick of incense.

After a closer look, I found that he was still holding a new edict in his hand... An old official who knew him greeted, "Where did Master Li choose?" ”

Li You was in a very good mood, and said with a smile on his chin: "Jiangdu County! ”

Suddenly, the surging injustice filled the lobby of the Ministry of Officials, isn't it a monthly election after everyone logs in? Why did he get the official position with all the formalities in a stick of incense? It is still a prosperous place like Yangzhou City, which is simply a naked black curtain in broad daylight!

In fact, even if Master Li himself has the ability, he can't change his left hand for his right hand, so he took a new edict on the spot, and according to the system, the ministry has to report to the cabinet before it can take effect. However, the Queen Mother had an order to go to the Ministry of Officials and told Li Yousan to get out of the Beijing Division, so she could take out the blank edict prepared by the special office and use it, otherwise it would be impossible to complete the procedures within three days by going through the normal procedures.

In the blink of an eye, at night, many people came to visit Master Li, but unfortunately they all came up empty.

Li You, who was missing, infiltrated the Pony Mansion single-handedly, and was naturally summoned by the eldest princess of Guide.

The two faced each other, and there was a little sadness in the room tonight. It is very uncomfortable for this pair of men and women who have a heart like a ravine, a simple and rude relationship, and repeated intrigues, and they are secretly embarrassed.

Even the candlelight tonight is not as bright as it used to be, a little dim, a little flickering.

"I want to thank you this time." The eldest princess took the lead in gently brushing away the unhealthy redundant emotions and returning to normalcy.

It's rare to hear you say thank you, Li You thought. "Your Highness is serious, and this official is also for self-preservation."

But Chitose said, "No, that's not what I mean. ”

Li You was a little surprised, didn't he mean that he was the first to discuss the marriage of the Son of Heaven?

"You also know that I want to handle the salt industry, and sooner or later I will have to go to Yangzhou in the future. You probably surrendered your identity for me, and let the state officials not choose the difficult place of Jiangdu County, I understand this intention. ”

This... I really misunderstood, Li You wanted to speak, but closed his mouth again. The matter has come to this point, let her continue to misunderstand, don't let the favor come in vain.

"The moon is cloudy and sunny, and people have joys and sorrows, why don't you compose a poem?"

Li You shook his head and said, "But it can't be a poem." ”

Guide Chitose bowed his head for a moment and said something in a low voice, and he didn't know whether he was talking to himself or to Li You. "I'll raise you, don't worry about it!"

Master Li's ears are quite sensitive, no less than his tongue. Although he obviously heard the eldest princess's words, he still leaned forward and asked, "What did you say?" ”

"Forget it if you haven't heard it."

My son? Do you raise? Li You repeated it several times in his heart, if he didn't understand the meaning, he would not be the graceful and dexterous Li Tanhua, but a full rammer. No wonder His Royal Highness Chitose has a somewhat sentimental look that is different from usual today.

It's really bitter, why is this like this?

When he was in Suzhou Mansion, Guan Xiuxiu was pregnant, but he left his hometown to go to Beijing. It is said that the child has been born around January, but it is thousands of miles away, and he can only wait for the news of his hometown in vain.

Now he is about to leave Jingshi and go to the south, but another one pops up in front of him... But this probably can't be recognized for the rest of your life, is it going to be cheaper in the future Lin and the horse surname Lin? Li You thought a little tangled.

"I will do everything I can to get his surname Zhu." Guide Chitose said in a firm tone.

Li You felt that it was necessary to talk to His Royal Highness Chitose about the future.
