At this time, this situation in the Wenhua Hall can be said to have caught everyone by surprise, especially Xu, Peng, Yuan, Jin and several other pavilion elders who had a tacit understanding to suppress Li You before, and they didn't feel good in their hearts.

Although the swarm of invitations from those officials did not have any practical effect, after all, the invitation and approval were two different things, but it was a bit ironic to these elders.

Last time, several cabinet elders took advantage of the good opportunity of Li You and Duan Zhien to resign on their own, suppressed him from reinstating to power, let him sit aside, and even deprived him of his power to supervise the newspaper in the country.

Because several cabinet elders know very well that for a person like Li You who has backers and merits, it is more difficult to let him go down, but it is relatively simple not to let him come up. Therefore, it is rare for Li You to use retreat as a trick to resign, resign on his own and really resign, this is the tiger falling in Pingyang.

It can be said that several of them, who originally had different thoughts, had a common tacit understanding in this regard, and maintained a high degree of vigilance and caution, so Li You would not want to stand out in the officialdom for at least a few years.

But they didn't expect that Li You, who seemed to be helpless, once again found another way, and actually paid for a newspaper by himself, and also colluded with the Son of Heaven to form the current situation that is beyond their control.

So how could Li You have so many endless and unheard of ideas? It's like pressing the gourd to float the scoop. At this time, if one is not good, public opinion will be turned, and one after another, the cabinet will deliberately suppress the remarks of the meritorious heroes.

Jing and Tianzi glanced at the ministers, but they still didn't pay attention in their hearts, veterans had to think twice when they encountered such a scene, not to mention a newcomer like Jing and Tianzi, who had been in power for more than half a year. Then he asked, "What do the officials think?" ”

Zhao Tianguan is watching the excitement in a good way, anyway, it is not him who suppresses the heroes, and it is not him who should blush at the moment. How can you take over this stubble and solve this siege for several big pavilion elders? only came out of the column and said: "Li You's whereabouts are very involved. The ministers did not dare to be arbitrary, but they could ask the Holy Judge, or they could ask the Cabinet for their opinion. ”

Some old fritters in the court complained in their hearts. "It's an eye-opener, this is the first time in recent years that the official department has taken the initiative to hand over the power of personnel nomination to others during the court meeting."

As the head of the six foreign ministries that compete with the cabinet from time to time, the ministry has never relaxed this core power. Today, Zhao Tianguan made an exception.

Jinghe Tianzi turned to the other side again: "What do the cabinet gentlemen think?" ”

In the face of the Holy Lord's inquiry, several pavilion elders were silent for a moment. After a while, the first assistant Xu Yuezuo said: "Among the various recommendations, Li You can choose by himself. ”

Choose yourself, choose yourself, and the palace can't help but stir again when they hear the words. Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, the officialdom of the national dynasty has gradually formed complex but very clear rules for promotion, from the ambassador of the ninth rank to the first rank of Zaisuke, all of which are the products of this rule. There has never been a precedent for an official to be allowed to "choose his or her own". Although it is only a selection of several recommended ranges, it is quite unusual.

The Son of Heaven, who just felt that Li You had helped a lot, also thought that this idea was good, and instructed: "The Ministry of Officials will handle it accordingly." ”

At this point, everyone can finally be sure and affirmed. Li You is definitely one of the wonders of the three hundred years of the dynasty. A unique and wonderful flower.

From the perspective of subverting the rules to a limited extent, the last strange person with this ability was the Nine Thousand Years Old of the Apocalypse. Another strange one is the Zhangjiangling of the Wanli Dynasty. Although the current brightness of Master Li is only the difference between Firefly and Haoyue compared to these two.

The discussion dispersed one after another, and others just finished talking, but the officials gave a holy edict to Li You to elect officials. Zhao Tianguan returned to the ministry and arranged the matter.

This matter of electing officials should naturally be handled by the Department of Literature and Selection, and Zuo Langzhong sent someone to find Li You, telling him to come to the ministry when he got a vacancy.

However, it was said that Li You had already learned the news before he was summoned by the officials, and Li You fell into deep thought in the congratulatory voices around him. As a person who has had less than four years of his career in Huan Hai, but has had several ups and downs, he is already very calm, but it is a pity in his heart that he didn't expect it to come so quickly.

In the final analysis, running a newspaper can be regarded as a cultural industry, and running a newspaper in an idle capacity may be called a celebrity talk. However, if you return to a substantive position or an important assignment, and at the same time directly control a large newspaper that has established influence and is regarded as a public weapon, you may become a "public enemy".

Smart people should let go, at least formally. The exchange of interests is ubiquitous, and the imperial court let him "choose by himself", so why not an exchange?

And he thought that even if he didn't hesitate to invest in the work, it would take at least three or five months to highlight the effect, but he didn't expect that after only a few issues, he achieved the situation he expected.

So Li You couldn't help but sigh, this situation came faster than imagined, and he really underestimated the impact of a newspaper with a large circulation on today's court and society.

Presumably, it is fashionable to run a newspaper, and it is estimated that it will only succeed in this dynasty when public opinion is extremely heavy and encourages speech, and if it is replaced by other dynasties, it is probably impossible to avoid the fate of hitting the streets.

After thinking about it, Li You wanted to get up immediately and go to the ministry to determine his future. But as soon as I stood up, I felt that it was not right.

At present, he is estimated to be in the limelight, and he is not a six- or seven-grade person squatting in the ministry waiting for an official position, and he is such a special elected official, so the demeanor he should have must be put on a swing. Even if you don't make a trick, you can't make a hurry.

Therefore, Mr. Li continued to stay in the newspaper and carefully read the next article. I didn't say anything else, and I didn't reply to the officials, as if it didn't matter if I wanted to elect officials.

The next day, the sun was shining and there was no wind and sand, so Li You took his wife and concubines and children to the Buddhist temple to offer incense, beat the two small gentlemen who were not long-eyed, and picked up three sweat towels that had fallen from their purses. At the end of the day, he still didn't go to the ministry, and the ministry didn't urge him.

It wasn't until the third day of the decree that Master Li realized that he had almost mastered the fire, so he reported to the ministry leisurely and steadily. In the sound of flattery, he was very familiar with finding the backyard Anthology Division and talking face-to-face with Zuo Langzhong.

"At the court meeting the day before yesterday, a total of seven people recommended you, and the holy decree is up to you, and you will be summoned to this matter today." Zuo Langzhong asked Li You to sit down and said business.

Li You thanked Jun En with a solemn expression, and then asked an unbearable question, "Among these official positions, with Brother Zuo's knowledge, which official position is the best?" ”

Zuo Langzhong was stunned by Li You's straightforwardness, and replied: "Of course, the official position of the Ministry of Industry is the best." ”

Li You nodded, it is true. Theoretically, the six ministries are the highest yamen of the imperial court, but the sudden rise of the cabinet has diluted this color, but in any case, the six ministries are still the core of the world's government affairs, and their status is not comparable to other yamen. Although the Ministry of Industry is the least established of the six ministries, one of the six is still one of the six.

For him, he still lacks the qualifications of the six departments, and there are few opportunities to enter the six departments from the beginning, so if he can enter the street hall of the main Ministry of Engineering this time, it can be regarded as a kind of supplement.

Since then, his resume has had a number of votes, such as the scholar of the middle school, the servant of the Son of Heaven, the acting magistrate, the governor of the prefecture, the acting prefect, the rectification of the salt law, the imperial envoy of the right inspection school, the commander of the five cities of the Terracotta Division, and the governor of the country. If you add a street hall of the Ministry of Industry, it can be said to be perfect, from the inner court to the prefecture and county, what do you want, and you can't say that you don't give a platform outside.

"But there are downsides." Zuo Langzhong poured cold water and said: "First of all, the moon is full and the moon is lost, and you can just be a Qingliu official or a criminal officer at a young age, this is what you won little by little, and those official positions are originally suitable for young and vigorous people to do." However, stepping into the six manipulation practices in one step still makes people feel abrupt, and it inevitably gives people the feeling of greed and discontentment, maybe this is the intention of some people.

Secondly, why has the Ministry of Industry Street Department, which is responsible for the renovation of the Jingshi Street Ditch, been short of staff for many years? That's because no one has been able to do a good job in this position for decades, and it costs money to do things, no money or no one, and you have to provoke the powerful, so it is thankless, and it is easy to earn credit and be scolded.

Therefore, in my eyes, although there are great advantages to going to the street hall of the Ministry of Industry, there are also great disadvantages, and it can be said to be a middle-to-lower choice on the whole. ”

Li You continued to nod his head, this is the truth, and asked again: "If I really go to the Ministry of Industry, he will put me on the fire and roast me!" So which of the seven recommendations is the worst official position? ”

As a fellow party member, Zuo Langzhong is very concerned about the whereabouts of Master Li, so he doesn't hide it and say anything. "The worst is of course the president of the newspaper office of the Guozi Supervision Office, although the stone sacrifice wine is out of the public heart and has no other intentions, but if you really go, it is equivalent to being killed.

Let's not mention that Guozijian himself is a cold deception yamen, and he has a clear name and no real power. Speaking of running a newspaper, if there is no clear report, there may be something to be done in the newspaper office of the Guozi Supervisor, so all parties scrambled to install their own people.

But now that the Truth Newspaper is in front of you, and the Pravda is dying in a few days, even if you copy the method of the Truth Newspaper, it may not be able to bring the dead back to life, and how can you give up your own Truth Newspaper and work hard to lift the Truth Newspaper?

Therefore, it is not known how long this newspaper office can support, it is really a dead place in officialdom, and it is the next choice that cannot be selected among the seven recommendations. ”

Li You frowned and thought for a while, and continued to ask: "In Brother Zuo's eyes, which one is the best choice?" ”

Zuo Langzhong waited for Li You's words, "The best choice is this recommended by Lord Yin Yao of Shuntian Mansion, to inspect the criminal prison case of the Wei Division of Zhuzhou County of Shuntian Mansion."

The benefits are very obvious, one is in line with your title of imperial envoy, there is no need to change too abruptly, and it will not attract the attention of others; The second is that you are familiar with this and are familiar with the road; The third is that you can temporarily leave the capital without leaving too far, and you can return to the capital at any time if you have something. ”

Mr. Zuo is worthy of being a political expert in the Ministry of Officials for more than ten years, and a popular candidate for the future direct promotion of the Ministry of Officials.

"Thanks to Brother Zuo's teachings, I will feel five in the next inscription!" Li You made up his mind and thrashed the case: "Then choose to send the president of the newspaper office!" ”

"Well... What did you say? Zuo Langzhong was shocked, he thought he had misheard. The upper, middle and lower three strategies, the selection of the upper and middle are all excusable, how can there be a preference for the lower policy? In terms of commenting on the words, I have never seen anyone choose the best policy!
