Li You's move was also expected by many people... After all, "begging for rest" is a skill that every official should have, and the so-called freedom of advance and retreat is an unspoken rule that everyone knows.

In fact, Li You didn't know what to say, and remembered the word "beggar bones" in the textbooks of his previous life, so he learned to use it. But the words came out of his mouth when he was weak, and it was quite funny.

At the age of ten, he "begged for bones" in front of the king, teaching those who are still running around in the field at the age of forty or fifty how to be embarrassed. This should set a historical record for the Ming Dynasty, right? Several Hanlin officials who had cultivated history began to recall.

Everyone in the hall went to watch the new record, and no one noticed a flash of joy on the young emperor's face - it's been eight years, and finally someone... Speaking of the profession of the Ming Emperor, it can be simply summarized as having four major political responsibilities (powers), of course, whether you want to do it or not is another matter. They are: worship to the sky, look at the court, negotiate, and answer.

But how did the teenage Jing and the Son of Heaven perform these four functions?

At the court meeting of Shuowang 369, he was a sitting statue, and there were only a few answer options such as "I know", "as usual" and "yes". According to the usual practice, the court meeting usually only symbolizes the surname and does not make decisions, and no one listens to him if he wants to be arbitrary.

In the banquet with the minister, he was a student who couldn't move, and there was a group of bitter admonitions on his legs. As a student, he is naturally not qualified to decide on government affairs, and the ministers who serve him will not discuss matters with him.

In the process of regular government affairs, the chapter books he got in his hands were all "read-only texts" that had been approved in red, and he was sent here just to let him study, he could read but not change his vote, and he couldn't decide anything.

When he worshiped heaven and earth in the suburbs of Yuanyue, he was regarded by the minister as young and frail, for fear that the cold weather would cause a death and cause social turmoil, so he was not allowed to go out of the city, and the matter of sacrificing to heaven was done by several grandfathers and grandfathers in turn.

Therefore, in the eight years since the Son of Heaven ascended the throne, he has not officially disposed of a single political matter. The government has a queen mother, the palace has an eldest sister, and outside the court meeting with the ceremonial surname, no minister has taken the initiative to ask him for advice. Today is unprecedented, the first time someone has a direct prelude to a non-ceremonial surname.

I can't help but feel the joy of the sacred heart, the sky is gradually happy, the dragon's eyes are colorful, and the golden cheeks are smiling. It's almost like the colorful auspicious clouds are floating, and the ten-mile fragrant wind gusts up to meet the scene.

It's a good start, it's a moment to remember... Jing and Tianzi slapped his thigh, trying his best to make his tone deeper and more majestic, "Li You played, I am favored, and I will return to my hometown with the crown." ”

It feels good to approve a big thing, the young man thought.

The world is spinning! Master Li looked up suddenly, completely stunned, and at a loss for what to do.

What's the matter with this little emperor, he doesn't follow the rules of the rivers and lakes at all... Isn't it time to say something about keeping someone, so that he can take the opportunity to go down the steps? He also prepared some back-ups, how can he play now?

Not to mention Master Li, all the ministers in the palace were a little confused. Regardless of whether the emperor is qualified to dispose of his subordinates now, even if he has the qualifications after taking power, he cannot be so rash.

Li You is now a cabinet member and a scholar at the banquet, or an errand personally instructed by Your Majesty, and he is barely a close minister, and he resigned in person. According to etiquette, it is necessary to comfort the righteousness of the whole monarch and ministers, and the façade should be done sufficiently, and then say whether the beggar should leave, this is the "etiquette".

How can you simply agree to it in person, this subtext is similar to "You get out of here". How can an emperor be so rash and arbitrary, unkind and unkind? It's too disrespectful to the courtiers, and the soldiers can't be killed.

Li You was still in a daze, when an unknown imperial historian came out and said loudly: "How can a monarch be frivolous and rude, and drive his ministers like slaves?" If the hearts of the subjects are lost, how can they rule the world! ”

The Son of Heaven was poured cold water in his excitement, and he also realized that his words and deeds were inappropriate and he was caught hurting his feet, so he covered his face helplessly, and said repeatedly: "I know, I know." ”

Li You was slightly relieved, but when he saw Yuan Gelao, one of the four scholars, coming out of the ranks, he reprimanded the imperial history: "The king has been admonished. But what is your intention to be alarmist, exaggerated, and clever to decorate, and where is your king? Dare to roar before the king, what kind of system will it become? I think you should ask for your own punishment in order to set things right! ”

After a basin of cold water, now another warm current is pouring into the heart of the Son of Heaven, this Mr. Yuan is worthy of being a person praised by his father, he is very considerate, and he knows that it is not easy to be the emperor.

This imperial history really didn't expect Yuan Ge Lao to jump out and spray him, and he was stunned for a moment, but then he didn't dare to compete with Ge Lao.

One after another, one after another, no matter how dull the person is, he also found that the situation in the temple was treacherous, how did it evolve like this?

Yuan Ge Lao suppressed the imperial history, and immediately squirted saliva at Li You, sarcastically: "Today, it is said that Chitose has words first, why bother to blackmail the king if he wants to go." You can go to the sparse and wait for the holy judge, the old man is not stingy to prepare a ticket for you! ”

Li You was annoyed, he didn't really want to leave, so he had no choice but to make excuses. Blind people can see that everyone understands this rule. What is the reason why you Yuan Ge still said that you want to force the fake to come true? Sure enough, it was as harsh as rumored, and no one had a surname.

Feeling Yuan Ge Lao's strong hostility, Li You suddenly remembered that when he was in Xujiang County, Yuan Ge Lao's son-in-law Ma Xun pressed the past when he was at odds with Chen Zhi County.

At that time, Master Huang hinted very vaguely that the root of Ma Xun's disagreement with Chen Zhixian was that he did not deal with him from above, which was obviously between Xu Shangshu and Yuan Ge Lao. Judging from what he saw and heard when he entered Beijing, just from the mentality of treating the Son of Heaven, these two people really don't look like people all the way.

Now it is estimated that Yuan Ge Lao has already classified him into Xu Shangshu's party, and seeing that he is in the position of a Zhongshu who can restrain the ministers, he is not a thorn in the flesh.

At this moment, no one in the temple stood up again, and they were all watching from the sidelines to see how this ethereal and unpredictable situation unfolded, each with its own worries and thoughts.

Even the elder Yang Ge, a scholar of Dongge University, who had a sense of closeness to Li You, was worried about getting suspicious, so he watched from the sidelines for the time being. Li You's position in the division of votes is too sensitive, especially for scholars. In front of everyone's eyes, it would not sound good if he wanted to come forward to help and cause a wind of winning over the party.

Li You knew that his status in the rivers and lakes was too far from that of the elder of the pavilion, and it was completely unequal. In terms of the right to speak, he is not even as good as the imperial history, and he can't argue with the elder. took his eyes to ask for help from Zhu Bulang, this royal family has a transcendent terrain and is suitable for coming out to play a round.

Mr. Zhu Fanghe received a distress signal from Master Li, and smiled bitterly in his heart. For years, when times like these, there were always people who came to target him, almost making him an expert in firefighting. Otherwise, how could Zhu Bulang's reputation for being righteous and known as the court and timely rain spread?

"You don't have to be angry when you listen to the next word..."

Zhu Bulang's words were only halfway through, and Jin Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites came out and said to him: "The central affairs of the court, what can a foreign courtier and a foreign court member do to put his beak and return to the train quickly!" Don't make people laugh at the lack of etiquette. ”

You can not listen to other people's words, but after all, Zhu Bulang is hanging in the Ministry of Rites as an official, and Jin Shangshu is a scholar in the Ministry of Rites, and he is his top boss seriously, so he has to listen to what he says, and it is not good to contradict his boss in public. I had to shake my head at Li You helplessly and return to the back of the class.

Li You scolded Jin Shangshu a few times in his heart and sighed, Lao Tzu originally planned to cultivate his surname and be kind to others, but he had to force me to roll around, and it was always a bit embarrassing to be like this. Although he was very short of breath for the eldest princess, he was not afraid of Yuan Ge Lao.

Then he said to the Son of Heaven again: "Li You, the left commentator of the Dali Temple, the Zhongshu Sheren and the manager of the votes, was forced to go to work by Yuan Gelao, and no one in the hall was comforted. The temple was so hopeless that he suddenly felt discouraged and begged for bones. ”

I don't approve it and it doesn't count, and I'm still looking for what to do... Jinghe Tianzi learned to be obedient this time, and he didn't answer with an expressionless face.

Yuan Ge Lao sneered again and again, and had to defend himself: "It's clear that you invited yourself before, why talk about the persecution of the old man?" He didn't dare to bear this title, not to mention that Li You deliberately sandwiched the phrase "full of dignitaries" to sow discord.

Li You turned his head and said with a serious face: "Yesterday before noon, Shao Jun, a member of the middle school, came to the official house, saying that he was ordered by Yuan Ge Lao to forcibly ask for the designated recital, but he was severely refuted by the official, I don't know if Yuan Ge Lao has a grudge?" Do you need to summon the people of the East Pavilion to corroborate and confront here? ”

Yuan Ge was speechless for a while, and yesterday, he didn't expect this to happen today. At that time, he only wanted to use some small means to avoid the troublesome performance of cleaning up Huangzhuang Xuntian, he didn't want to go against the emperor's relatives and relatives, and he didn't want to appear to have no backbone.

Who knew this would happen today? was a little clever but was mistaken by cleverness, and was caught by Li You.

An internal supervisor flashed out behind the golden screen that had not moved for a long time, and asked Li You: "Chitose asks you, is this true in the recital of the royal history of the king yesterday?" ”

Of course, Li You understood why the eldest princess of Guide cared, but she was clearly regarded as a typical example in that chapter, and nodded to the inner supervisor and replied, "That's true." ”

After Yuan Ge looked at the direction of Jinping, he said righteously: "The first assistant and the second assistant are not in the pavilion, and the old man is entrusted by the first emperor to be the assistant government, why not hear the chapter?" You villain is too much to worry about you. ”

If you don't care about me, I'll have to worry about you... Li You said: "It's not the official villain's heart, but there are too many coincidences, so I have to think about it." Guidong bed patrol according to Jiangnan, coerced the official to fabricate charges and frame Shi to participate in politics, the official did not obey, how do you know that you do not hold a grudge? ”

As soon as Li You's words came out, the whole hall was in an uproar, and Ma Xun impeached the famous minister Shi for participating in politics, which is a relatively eye-catching case this year, and Lord Shi is also the highest-ranking official who has been abnormally dismissed. Is there an inside story?

Yuan Ge Lao naturally knew the truth, and it was clear that his son-in-law not only wanted to make political achievements, but also coveted the 1,000 taels of silver that Li You lobbied, and saw that Shi was indeed at fault in participating in politics, so he went to impeach the famous Lord Shi. was completely reversed by Li You's black and white.

He was so angry by Li You's shamelessness that his face changed greatly, and he said angrily: "Blood spews people, and there is your name on the impeachment note!" Dare not admit it? ”

Li You immediately answered: "Ma Xunji was afraid that the court would not believe it, so he fraudulently used the name of the official who was the governor of Suzhou at the time, but the official never knew it, and he only knew it when he heard someone mention it in the capital. But he didn't dare to pursue it, and it is still said that he has the courage to do so in front of the officials of the palace. The villain's eldest relatives originally didn't understand this sentence, but seeing what Yuan Ge Lao did to the official, he realized it! ”

Lord Shi has a great reputation, a famous upright example in this dynasty, and the two winds are too guarded. Ma Xun's impeachment of him was originally doubtful by many people, but Shi Shenzheng himself was invited to go, so it was over. Now that Li You has brought up the old matter again, he openly accused Ma Xun of framing Qing officials, which is really sensational, and it is tantamount to slapping Yuan Ge in the face.

Yuan Ge's old son is difficult, he has no son, Ma Yushi's son-in-law is regarded as an heir, and the façade of Ge Lao cannot be lost, how can he tolerate Li You's indiscriminate smearing.

Deng Shi was furious, but he couldn't openly say that Ma Xun was instigated by you and received 1,000 taels of silver from you to do this.

Besides, at that time, Li You saw that Ma Xun's press was a confidential matter, and it was really difficult to explain why there was no circumstantial evidence to talk about it. Everyone only knows that Ma Xunji did oust the world-famous Lord Shi, and there was no suspicion before, but now there are suspicions.

Although I thought that this matter was not very appropriate at the beginning, I thought that Li You, a small person, was far away in Suzhou and could not set off the storm, and it was good to be able to impeach Shi Shenzheng, who had no strong reinforcements in the DPRK, and to build up prestige for his son-in-law. Who would have thought that that little pusher would have the opportunity to stand in the middle of the Wenhua Hall without changing his heart and calmly planting a false accusation?

Yuan Ge was in a hurry to use the trump card he had prepared, "I'm afraid that Lord Li's words won't be believed." You bought the weaving eunuch in Xujiang County for five hundred taels of silver, climbed the pollution and patrolled the imperial history, thinking that people don't know ghosts? Now that I'm back to the old ways, I'm afraid that I can't be trusted if I say some nonsense. ”

Oh... The princes in the palace also settled a doubt. Last year, Ma Xun came to Beijing according to the rumors of befriending eunuchs, and they didn't quite believe that the old son-in-law of the pavilion was stupid enough to collude with the weaving eunuchs to rob the people's wealth, but it seemed that it did cause a small-scale civil unrest. Now Yuan Ge Lao's statement is somewhat credible, and he can solve his doubts and doubts.

Li You was shocked, how did Yuan Ge Lao know this secret?

As everyone knows, the weaving eunuchs are sent from the palace, and of course they will return to the palace. Yuan Ge Lao always felt that his son-in-law's scandal of collusion with the eunuch must have something else, and his son-in-law would not be like this. Ge Lao has a good relationship with the palace, and last month he learned that the Suzhou weaving eunuch returned to the palace, so he spent a lot of money to meet secretly and learned the truth.

Originally, Yuan Ge Lao planned to use this trick to completely dismiss Li You at a critical moment, but he threw it out in a hurry today, and he was really anxious.

Li You said to himself: "This official and Ma Xun have no grievances, how could they do such a thing!" Yuan Ge Lao! Could it be that the eunuch has received any benefit from you, and is ready to help you retort against the official? ”

In the palace, I saw that Yuan Ge Lao and Li Sheren poured dirty water on each other and stormed each other, and I only felt that it was worth the trip today, and the people who were lazy and didn't come were really a loss.

The old scholar of the cabinet and the small cabinet are quite scolding each other, but it is rare to see the wonderful... It was really unexpected that this Li Sheren was cornered and made the scholar into such a gaffe.

At this time, who remembers that this is the time of the feast? Who remembers whether to go to the Mandarin Hall in the book? Who remembers the two begging bones in the book?

The Son of Heaven was relishing, Xu Shangshu couldn't cry or laugh, Zhao Zongxian frowned and pondered, Zhu Bulang was dumbfounded, and Lin Juma was "I knew it would be like this."

There was also Jin Shangshu in the crowd who thought helplessly, "Although Yuan Ge Lao is a scholar of Wenhua Palace, this pattern is a little small. ”

After the golden screen, Chitose Guide also deeply realized Li You's ability to play on the spot.
