Chapter 210: The First Year of Shengyuan? (Part 1)
"A saint is a good person. He values feelings and will also consider his subordinates. He knows that I will be promoted too quickly and will cause criticism, and of course I will also attract attention from others, so he will be promoted slowly."
"Every time I get mixed up with other officials, and don't follow the six-department system. Or I have to earn my qualifications in the school of the school. When I need to jump, I will take it to Qinghui Palace, Chengxin Hall, and Xuanzheng Hall to go around so that I can't show off my mountains and faces. Then I will be blessed by the emperor. Not long after, I was seriously ill and could not manage the government. It happened that Liezu was also seriously ill and could not control the government. Naturally, I could not change to another official, so I took over all the important matters naturally. You know everything later."
"But Uncle, what did you do that day that made the saint reward you so much and be favored to you until now?"
"Hehe, if you want to live for a few more years, don't inquire about this matter. You know that the more you die, the faster you will die. There are some things that my uncle is going to take to the coffin. Don't worry, as long as you have this affection, the saint will not do anything to me!"
"What's more, the accounts are all done in a clean manner. In private matters, heaven and earth know you and I know you and I know you. I have also trained in the Ministry of Revenue and I know a little about the way to check the accounts, so I have prepared a backup plan for a long time."
"So that's it. My nephew is too worried. But uncle, why should you take the risk of getting on the line with that person?"
"You have to think about the Liu family. What should you do if I die one day? Besides, the moon is full of phases, but the golden crow looks glorious, but there is still a Tiangou Food Day!" Liu Chengyou's words were unpredictable.
It is no exaggeration to say that he is a traitor. Now Li Jing is less than forty years, and he has always been pampered and lived a life of luxury for another ten years.
This can be seen from the family genetically that Li Bing lived to be fifty-four years old and was in a state of good health before his death. He also had a son, Li Jingchang at the age of fifty.
Although it is slightly worse than the sixty-year-old daughter of Zhou Zong, it is enough to boast about this era.
If I hadn't taken the pills offered by the priest for death, I would have lived for ten or eight years.
If Liu Chengyou's words were heard by others, he would have to be labeled as a curse on the emperor. Therefore, Liu Tong's face became pale after hearing this and he could not speak in his mouth.
"It's always good to make friends with more people. I used my neck to hold Li Laosi's sword. If I did it again, it wouldn't be that easy." Liu Chengyou sighed rarely
"So, for the sake of the Liu family, you must have a way out, especially for you, there is still a long way to go."
"Nephew, thank you for your concern, but don't continue to contact with the other side recently. Let's talk about it when the limelight is over. It may not be without cause. Although my uncle has a countermeasure, my nephew always feels that this time is strange."
"Well, what you said is right. Tell me to the contact person over there. Don't talk to the last month. Let's talk about it when Pan Chenghou leaves!"
"yes!"
In Chengxin Hall, Pan Chenghou and Li Yu sat opposite each other. After a while, Shi Xubai hurried over, bowed to Li Yu, and then sat down.
Li Yu clapped his hands and Zhao Chun walked in from outside.
"Zhao Chun, you lead the team and strictly guard this palace!"
"Yes!" Zhao Chun took the order and left.
Li Yu raised his hand to Pan Chenghou, and the latter understood and repeated the matter in today's palace from beginning to end.
"Okay!" Shi Xubai slapped the armrest of the chair. He was now Li Yu's planner, and he also participated in the planning of the matter of checking the accounts in Dechang Palace.
But when he learned that Li Yu could form an alliance with Feng Yansi and Zhou Zong, he was shocked. Although it was only temporary and entirely based on interests, if Li Jing trusted the most in this court, he would use these two people as the ones he had.
Therefore, his evaluation of this king was raised a little bit. He felt that Li Yu might not need to plan a leader, so he turned his positioning into picking up the shortcomings and assisting in decision-making.
As soon as Pan Chenghou finished speaking, Shi Xubai took out a roll of silk book from his arms, spread it on the table and said, "In the past few days, I have collected all the records about Dechang Palace in Chengxin Hall, but something strange is revealed."
"Oh?" Li Yu and Pan Chenghou both came over.
Shi Xubai pointed to the silk book and said, "The strangest thing is Liu Chengyou. He was originally a rich country family. His father was decisive when he saw the opportunity and provided food and grass for Yang Xingmi when he was against the wind. He thus formed a relationship with the Yang family. Later, he went to the palace of Prince Yang Lian to work as a small proofreader."
"But you see, since the first year of Shengyuan, he was promoted almost one level every year and was promoted to the deputy envoy of Dechang Palace. At this time, the envoy was already terminally ill, so he directly took over the power shortly after he went to Dechang Palace."
"Every year to promote? How is it possible?" Pan Chenghou was a little confused, "Stuming that he is the old disciple of Song State?"
"No, no, I'm so confused." Then he denied his thoughts just now. If it were really the subordinates of Song Qiqiu, Li Jing would have been too uneasy to leave Dechang Palace to him for so many years?
"That's right, I also feel confused. This person has no family background and is from the Prince of Wu. How could he get such favor? He simply went to Chengxin Hall to read out all the old books. It's really strange. This person's promotion path is very different from that of others. He only wanders around in the Secretariat, Qinghui Hall, Chengxin Hall, and Qinzheng Hall, without passing through the six ministries at all."
"For this reason, I specially checked the resumes of other important officials. Now, as long as I am a saint, I am most likely to be promoted. After reaching the fifth rank, I will not rise again. I have been in the position of the Palace Envoy of Dechang Palace for many years. I think it is because the saints absolutely trust this."
"So?! It means that his promotion is within the sphere of influence of the saints of Liezu. In other words, it may be entirely due to the instruction of Liezu or the saint!?"
The atmosphere in the hall was a bit cold. I thought Liu Chengyou was just an ordinary favorite, and at best he did shameful things for Li Jing, or helped Li Jing spend money to raise a mistress outside or accompany him to brothels.
There are officials here throughout the years, but most of them are not allowed to be present, and they are abandoned by the rulers. Du Yuesheng's theory of chamber pot is the best portrayal of such officials.
I thought Liu Chengxun was just a high-end chamber pot with gold and jade inlay.
But judging from this unusual promotion chart, I'm afraid things are not as simple as I imagined.
Li Jing completely copied the old wisdom of his son Li Bing in the court setting. The three provinces and six ministries ensured that the subordinates of the Secretariat were absolutely reliable, and the six ministries were thrown out. In Li Bing's era, this was a reward for Song Qiqiu, and in Li Jing, it was because the old tail of Song State was too big.
