The next day, in the imperial city, Li Shaoyou sat in the Wude Si Yamen again and personally sorted out some administrative affairs.
"Congratulations, Duke Longevity, for being awarded the title of Duke of Jin Dynasty!" Wang Jingchong walked into the hall and congratulated Li Shaoyou cheerfully.
"It's just a mutual joy!" Li Shaoyou looked at him with a calm expression, glanced at him, raised the corners of his mouth, and said: "The prince has been in the government office for many years, loyal to his duties, and has made many contributions. Now he can be rectified. What a joy and congratulation! "
Wang Jingchong smiled slightly, looked at Li Shaoyou, and chuckled: "I still rely on the Duke for his recommendation!"
"Although you and I have personal grievances, I believe that the public should not be abolished for personal reasons. From top to bottom, there is no one who can succeed as an envoy and take charge of the overall situation except the prince!" Li Shaoyou's face was full of grace.
"The high righteousness of the country makes me ashamed!" Wang Jingchong sighed with emotion.
Under the smiling face, Wang Jingchong was still a little suspicious. Well, how could Li Shaoyou resign and actually recommend himself to take over? Wang Jingchong didn't believe that Li Shaoyou was really so selfless. He knew that although this man was young, he was very scheming.
Of course, Wang Jingchong himself had some considerations. Based on the intelligence coming from Hedong, he guessed that Li Shaoyou had violated a taboo and dared to interfere in local military affairs, which aroused the emperor's fear, so he signaled for him to withdraw. As for recommending him to Wang Jingchong, it should also be the emperor's instruction...
"Prince, these are some of the affairs, personnel, errands, and secret orders that I personally handled. I sorted them out and handed them over to you!" Li Shaoyou pointed at a stack of documents on the hall case and said to Wang Jingchong: " The matter in Hedong is an urgent matter at present and needs to be reported to His Majesty again. The prince must pay attention to it!"
"The Duke will be happy and at ease from now on!" Wang Jingchong smiled even more and held his hands in his hands: "As this complicated task becomes more complicated, I'm afraid I won't be able to handle it!"
In Li Shaoyou's eyes, Wang Jingchong's smile was too hypocritical, and he said lightly: "The prince is too modest. Your Majesty has always advocated that those who are capable should live there, and the prince is the capable person!"
"I'll leave this yamen hall to you!" Li Shaoyou said with a smile: "Your Majesty gave me a month's leave, and also gave me the grace to get married. The wedding date has been decided, and I will order the invitations to be delivered to my house. Be sure to appreciate it!"
"Oh? This is another great joy! Don't worry, my lord, no matter how busy you are with official duties, I will come to ask for a drink!"
Li Shaoyou walked away from the hall with his leisurely steps, walking freely and carelessly, as if he had no nostalgia at all. Wang Jingchong stood in the hall, his smile gradually faded, and returned to his usual coldness. He turned around and looked at the government office desk.
Slowly, step up and sit down. The seat is made of pure copper, with a goshawk engraved on the back. It is simple, heavy and not wide, but when he sat down, Wang Jingchong's inner satisfaction was beyond words. He stroked the handle of the dog's head, pressed the table in the hall, and picked up the ring chips to play with.
On the old face, a smile appeared again, and gradually became more and more bold: "Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha..."
In Wang Jingchong's heart, there was a feeling of relief that he had been dormant for many years and finally came out. This person is particularly utilitarian. In the early years, he wanted to control the situation, and be a good man. In short, a man must have power.
But after being placed in Wude Division by Liu Chengyou, he gradually fell in love with the feeling of this spy chief. Although Wude was only one of the many bureaucracies in the imperial court and did not have a high status, it had great authority and was directly responsible to the emperor.
In recent years, court officials and censors have repeatedly criticized and even impeached, but this did not hinder the growth of Wudesi and gradually formed a system. And Wang Jingchong also enjoyed it very much. This kind of monitoring the world, picketing all officials, especially inquiring into the secrets of courtiers, taking advantage of others, and manipulating crimes and punishments. Although there is always the emperor's restraint on his head, Wude Si's authority is increasing day by day.
Wang Jingchong is notorious in the court, but now, no one dares to offend him. The thing that has always made him feel most uncomfortable is that there is Li Shaoyou riding on his neck. He tried his best but failed to achieve his goal.
This made him distressed for a long time, but now, unexpected joy fell from the sky, how could Wang Jingchong not be happy.
Wang Jingchong entered the role very quickly and immediately issued orders for officials to serve in the yamen and discuss matters in the hall. By the way, pick up an official document prepared by Li Shaoyou and read it...
The original Shouyang Duke's Mansion has been replaced with a plaque. At night, Wude Si, who was known to everyone in Gyeonggi Province, came to the house with a few colleagues to ask for an audience. He was very careful, went to the wrong door, and made sure that there was no one following him. These people were all promoted by Li Shaoyou.
In the study, Li Shaoyou frowned slightly and stared at Du Zhi.
Feeling a little uneasy, he couldn't hold it back and asked: "My lord, why do you want to withdraw?"
"Do I need your permission to resign?" Li Shaoyou said calmly.
"My subordinates dare not!"
"You are no longer my subordinate!" He interrupted with one sentence: "It is very inappropriate for you to visit me tonight!"
"My lord, my subordinates are just puzzled!" Duzhi said: "Why do you recommend Wang Jingchong? This man is sinister, domineering, and has always been bad to us. I am afraid that the lord cannot imagine what he is in the Yamen today." How arrogant..."
Everyone in Gyeonggi Province knows that he was originally Houzan, but because he had a close relationship with his uncle Li Ye, he leaked secrets and violated taboos, so he was punished by Li Shaoyou. Later, during the first major reorganization of Wude Division, this person was promoted to the position of governor by Li Shaoyou.
At the beginning of the establishment of the Wude Division, the hierarchical structure was relatively simple. However, as it continued to grow, registration, prison, criminal, military, etc. were gradually added and refined. In the process of spreading to the world, officials were also set up based on Daozhou, with Duzhi as the leader, who was in charge of his subordinates' relatives, detectives, as well as the secret agents and spies deployed. As for everyone in the capital, he is naturally the leader of all the capitals. In terms of power, he is only under Li and Wang.
Li Shaoyou looked at this man and probably knew what his concerns were. In the past, King Li was fighting, and many officials were under their wings, fighting openly and secretly. Now, the boss suddenly quit and gave up his position to his opponents. They, Where can I feel at ease?
After thinking about it, Li Shaoyou said: "How can I not know who Wang Jingchong is? You can relax, he has just taken control of the procuratorate, and even if he tries to suppress you, he will not dare to go too far. All you need to do is, If you abide by the military ethics system, you will be safe.
Also, you must remember that Secretary Wude is not doing things for me, let alone Wang Jingchong, but for His Majesty. Everyone above and below is His Majesty. "
"But--"
"No but!" Li Shaoyou interrupted him, paused, his serious expression gradually softened, a sly look flashed in his eyes, and he said quietly: "If Wang Jingchong is allowed to be arrogant and arrogant, if he doesn't know how to look after himself, he will be in trouble. ! As long as you keep a low profile and endure the humiliation for a while, you will be able to get through it sooner or later!"
The relationship between Li Shaoyou and Wang Jingchong has already been bad to a certain extent. How could he really be honest and recommend him to him? Li Shaoyou was just thinking about it. Even he couldn't guarantee the emperor's trust, let alone him.
The emperor had used it and believed in it before, but it had the value of being used. If it was placed in the Wude Department, it would be a check and balance on himself. Now that Li Shaoyou has retired and Wang Jingchong has taken power, it seems that he has no intention of sending a deputy envoy. If Wang Jingchong is not careful, what will be the consequences.
When he thought of this, Li Shaoyou was very interested, and even silently counted down Wang Jingchong in his mind, guessing how long he would be able to spread his fame. Li Shaoyou is very clear about the terrifying nature of Wude Si, so naturally he cannot really hope that Wang Jingchong can stay in his position for a long time. Recommending him can be regarded as taking a step back to make progress.
After saying that, Li Shaoyou sighed and looked at the capital: "Wang Jingchong should not be too specific about other people. Only you, the capital has a heavy responsibility. I expect that he will try his best to exclude and suppress you. If you listen to me, If you say so, I will ask you to abdicate and move to another position to protect your health, and wait for another day!"
Hearing this, Gyeonggi Douzhi frowned and seemed to be a little hesitant. His tone was hesitant: "Yes!"
"What I say tonight is my last advice to you!" Li Shaoyou picked up the cup and took a sip as a sign of farewell, and said: "After tonight, there is no need to come to your door again. Even if you do, I will not see you. I wish you all Be kind to your words!”
"see a visitor out!"
The group of people were sent out helplessly and hesitantly, but Li Shaoyou sighed heavily. It wasn't that he was reluctant to part with the power of the Wude Division, nor was he reluctant to part with these old departments, but he was just worried.
Less than a day and night after leaving office, these people came to visit him nostalgically, and word spread that he could not control what Wang Jingchong thought, but he had to be cautious about what the emperor thought.
In view of this, Li Shaoyou suddenly thought that when the emperor sent him to Hengzhou to serve as an official, had he considered this situation in advance and deliberately kept himself away from the rights and wrongs of the capital and downplayed his traces in Wudesi?
Thinking of this, Li Shaoyou couldn't help but tremble.
