Chapter 257: Get close and close to Lord Tianguan
The three newly added dispatch officers in Lord Li's name can only be said to have great symbolic significance in terms of honor and status, so that others will know that this person is favored in the palace as soon as they hear it, but in fact they have no real power.
Although the cabinet auxiliary bigwigs theoretically have the duty to persuade the Son of Heaven to "be close to the virtuous and the ministers and far from the villain", they also have the power to resist the edict, which is called "execution". But in fact, they can't stop who the Son of Heaven wants to get closer, not to mention that this matter is a matter of etiquette in the final analysis, and it does not involve sensitive matters such as the court, government, and state etiquette, so it is not worth being a villain.
All in all, although Li You faintly felt that something was wrong, but he did not resign, and the cabinet scholars had their own minds to watch coldly, and it was impossible to risk playing the "Hanging Crown Dumen" set again, so the three attendant dispatches finally fell steadily on Li Zhongshu's head... In the past, the queen mother appreciated the officials, and then the son of heaven appointed the attendants, and he was young, and he was in the limelight for a while. If Li You's surname is not a woman, then in the eyes of outsiders who don't know the truth, it can only be described by the word "pet crown six palaces".
A certain Chitose Royal Highness is really ill-intentioned, how is it different from cutting first and then playing? Master Li thought melancholy. Behind the superficial glory is not without hidden worries.
First of all, the biggest advantage of the retained ministers who have no real power is that the Son of Heaven has a sense of identity, and a certain eldest princess is so stubborn, will the Son of Heaven feel disgusted in his heart? It seems that he also pretended to be a direct minister and collided with the Son of Heaven once.
Secondly, in the last Wuying Palace, what he did was actually beyond Xu Tianguan's control, and his status was further improved, who knows if he had a mustard? In addition, he was courted by the palace this time, will Xu Shangshu and others further deepen their doubts?
One is not good, two sides are not people. Faced with this situation, you must first settle inside, Li You decided. Regardless of whether Xu Shangshu has wrinkles in his heart or not, he must smooth them out first, so that he can go all out to deal with the affairs of the palace without leaving any trouble.
Is there any way to accurately and implicitly express that you are still close to you? Li You pondered over this. It's a pity that because the time is still short, I don't know much about Xu Tianguan's behavior, and I am afraid that it will be self-defeating.
However, Li Zhongshu thought about it again, although he had a limited understanding of Xu Tianguan, he knew everything about Chen Xundao. That Chen Xundao was taught by Xu Tianguan since he was a child, and he was deeply appreciated by Xu Tianguan, no matter what the difference in Bing's surname is, he has been influenced by Xu Shangshu intentionally or unintentionally, and there will probably be some similarities in common.
In the afternoon, Lord Li quickly finished the work at hand, and then led Wang Shi, the former chief bookkeeper of Xujiang County, to the ministry. Wang Qian's term of office expired last month, so he went to Beijing to go to the Ministry of Officials to assess and register, and then reassigned work. Li You led him to the Ministry of Officials naturally to help through the joints, and strive to find a good position in this month's election of officials.
Wang Shi is only in his early thirties, and when Li You was in Xujiang County, he got along with Master Wang quite well, especially on the topic of women. Moreover, when Lord Wang entered Beijing, he brought Li You's family letter, so it was reasonable for Li You to reach out to help.
If you go to other departments to do things, Li You, who doesn't have a deep foundation in Beijing, may have a headache. But going to the ministry to talk about this kind of thing is difficult in the eyes of others, but it is easier for Li You. Not to mention Xu Tianguan, Wen Xuan Shilang, who is in charge of the selection business and is known as the best five-grade official outside of university scholars, also knows Li You.
When the appointment of the letter had not yet been approved from the palace, Li You relied on Xu Tianguan's face and waited in the ministry every day. Wenxuan Shilang Zhongzuo is also Xu Tianguan's confidant, although he didn't look down on Li You, a motley official, at that time, he couldn't stand Li You's frequent harassment, and he had the same incense in the background, so he knew each other after coming and going. It may not be helpful to do a lot of work, but it should be very simple to arrange a lowest-level nine products.
In fact, this kind of thing is really small for the officials, and Li You doesn't have to go there in person at all. As long as you write a letter, praise Mr. Wang's outstanding talent, and then let Master Wang take the letter to visit Zuobu Lang, which is a more common practice in officialdom. Personally leading people to the door to ask for benefits is really not subtle enough, and it is detrimental to the demeanor of Shilin.
What's more, the officials in charge of the official are different from the yamen in other places. Li You, an incumbent official who has no business relationship with the ministry, can easily cause criticism if he has nothing to do with the ministry, and maybe he will be taken out by the imperial history who is looking for rice to cook and play a book in the name of "speculative drill camp". It is precisely because of this taboo that Li You used to go to the Tianguan Mansion at night when he saw Xu Shangshu.
But after saying a thousand things and ten thousand, Li You still fearlessly took Wang Shi to the ministry in person. This made Lord Wang grateful, and secretly praised Li You for becoming so kind when he entered Beijing, could it be that Jingshi Feng Shui can change people's surnames?
When he arrived at the official department in the south of Chengtianmen, Li You walked through the front yard hall familiarly, and walked towards the inner courtyard under the gaze of an old official, and Wang Shi followed carefully.
When he was first elected official, he had been to the hall of the official department, but the world inside was very mysterious to him. The future of 80 percent of the officials in the DPRK is decided here.
Passing through the Yi Gate, Li You pointed to a certain room on the right hand side and said to Lord Wang: "That is where the left part of the Wenxuan Division sits." ”
But he didn't stop and continued to walk inside.
Wang Shi asked very strangely, "Where are you going?" Shouldn't I go to the Anthology Division? ”
Li You wrote lightly: "Go and meet Xu Tianguan and ask him to send a message." ”
The king's waist was sore, his back hurt, his legs cramped, and he was even more tired of walking, trembling from the inside out, and he could barely take a step.
The Anthology Division is a trivial matter, but you led the Jiupin official into the house to intercede with the head of the six departments in the public room, which is too much to take the officials of the Ministry of Officials seriously? No matter how affectionate you are with the Ministry of Officials, you can't act like this, it's not in line with the science of officialdom.
"W-isn't that appropriate?" Wang Shi's tongue stuttered slightly.
Li You said indifferently: "It's okay!" Xu Shangshu is easy to talk to! ”
Lord Wang almost jumped up to educate Li You, the boss can behave well and speak, but you can't really treat him as a good talker! The sky has eyes, how did you get the book in the sub-ballot!
But if he didn't follow Master Li, Wang Shi had nowhere to go, so he had no choice but to be led by Li You to the door of Shangshu's mansion in the deep courtyard.
Li You informed the little officer who guarded the door, and after the report, he went in first.
Xu Shangshu sat firmly behind the public case, and watched Li You come in with a calm expression. To be honest, at this time, he has a bit of complicated feelings about Li You, which can be compared to the feeling of "picking up a girl and becoming a wife".
Originally, a small chess piece in his grasp, what he valued was that he had no background and no background, and it was easy to indulge, but it gradually became the climate when he saw flowers in the fog and stumbled into them by mistake. Again and again, the unexpected made him cry and laugh, which was unexpected... Li You stepped forward to greet him, but Xu Shangshu sat down and bowed back. This is called Lord Li's careful liver plop and plop a few times - usually Lord Tianguan would never return the courtesy!
Saying that, Wang Shi stayed outside the door, and after a while, he heard a sharp reprimand from inside: "The official is a public weapon of the state, how can you allow you to abuse it privately!" The matter of the selection, the left part of the anthology will be drawn up impartially, and there is no reply to this official word! ”
Imagining the appearance of Lord Tianguan's fierce words, Wang Shi was very uneasy. It's a smashing pot... Is it a mistake to ask Li You to help clear the joints? A very clever person in Xujiang, how could he be so reckless when he arrived in the capital. Could it be that Jingshi Feng Shui can really change people's surnames?
In a blink of an eye, I saw Master Li come out happily..."It's okay! Let's go, go to the Anthology Division. Li Youshi Shiran said.
With Wang Shi's knowledge, he really couldn't understand the doorway, and he refused to go with Li You with a little suspicion.
Li You said with a smile: "When I was in Xujiang, the official also asked Chen Zhixian to scold and punish. ”
These words evoked the memories of the former master of the king, and the former Li Dianshi Li Patrol was often reprimanded by Chen Zhixian and even fined a penny, and he never received it, so he faintly had some understanding.
Li You's mind is indeed more than that, no matter how ignorant he is, he will not be stupid enough to lead the Jiupin Sesame Official to disturb Xu Shangshu, but he just took this opportunity to pretend to be crazy and stupid.
You must know that it is also a gesture to express closeness when it is appropriate to offer ugliness at a delicate moment. can be thought of this way, why did Li Zhongshu never sell ugliness in front of the first three scholars? I believe that with Xu Shangshu's political wisdom, he can comprehend Master Li's painstaking efforts.
Therefore, Li You went to offer ugliness, and said to Xu Shangshu with a big grin, I brought a Jiupin official to ask you to take care of it. It is both a gesture of closeness and a temptation.
If Xu Tianguan is polite, then Li You's heart will continue to play a small drum. But after receiving a lecture, it was an expression that he did not see the outside, which made Li Youxian feel a little relieved.
This may not be feasible everywhere, and the method may not be very accurate, but at least it can show some signs, at least it shows that Xu Shangshu has not yet had too bad ideas. Even if it's a little weird, it's still at the point of recovery.
Li You led Wang Shi back the same way, and broke into Zuo Langzhong, the back hall of the Wenxuan Division.
In recent years, Li Zhongshu's terrain has really changed. Zuo Lang, who held the real power of Quanzheng and never gave people color easily, saw Li You, and stood and bowed to him. In the administrative procedures, Shangshu is only responsible for signing and sealing, but an official like him is responsible for specific exchanges, and he has to deal directly with the inner court, and maybe there will be a time to ask Li You.
Li You pointed at Wang Shi and said: "This is my old age, the original master of Xujiang County, this month's election official please ask Zuo Bulang to take care of one or two, and then I went to the old man Shangshu to order it." ”
Zuo Langzhong pretended to be displeased and said: "A little thing, why do you need to alarm the boss, Li Zhongshu is too underestimated by his own officials." ”
"It's the first time I've done this kind of thing to ask for an official for someone, and I have no bottom in my heart, and I can't let go of my heart if I don't get reprimanded by the boss, and I have to come to you in the end. If you can upgrade to eight grades, you will be given eight grades, and if you can't choose a tax and salt transportation work, it is best to be in Jiangnan. ”
Zuo Langzhong agreed, but he proposed a matter and said: "I have responded to you, but Li Zhongshu should also solve problems for this official." ”
"What?"
"Wang Qinian, the former supervisor of Henan Province, was dismissed, but he shamelessly refused to resign, saying that he was noisy and annoying to me. Li Zhongshu, you can't just leave it alone. ”
It turned out that Wang Qinian was removed from the imperial history post because of the dereliction of duty in the Cheng family case, but the removal does not mean the dismissal, the grade is still there, and he can be demoted and appointed.
And he betrayed his teacher, although he was condemned by public opinion, there was no provision in the law to deal with it. In fact, for so many years, there has been a set of methods, according to the convention, after such a person is scolded to the point that he can't help it, he should take the initiative to resign, this is the effect of replacing the law with public opinion.
But Wang Qinian let all kinds of scolding unexpectedly, and he still refuses to resign, which is simply beyond Li Zhongshu.
In this way, it will make the left adult of Wenxuan Shilang big, how to arrange Wang Qinian?
