Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    In the dull mid-February, the Spring Festival has gradually become a memory. When the officialdom of the capital lacks new hot topics for discussion, Li You, who caused the kicking incident, reluctantly became a topical figure.

    Due to work issues, Mr. Li had an argument with the current great scholar and Jiu Qing during the inner and outer court meetings. He got angry and kicked off the door of the east room of the Meridian Gate in full view of the public. This topic can be regarded as filling the current blank period.  Something that has caught the eye recently.

    Mr. Li¡¯s kick was a public expression of his protest against the bosses and his dissatisfaction with being repeatedly suppressed, and exposed his grievances in broad daylight.  In the Ming Dynasty, when there were numerous officials with personalities, this was also a very individual move.

    ¡°In fact, it doesn¡¯t matter if officials have personality, but when they express their personality inappropriately, they will easily suffer criticism and rejection.  But this time, the big guys found that the direction of public opinion was a little different from what they imagined.

    "He even kicked down the door in the palace. It can be seen that Mr. Li was furious and extremely excited at that time."

    "Although Mr. Li lost his composure this time, it is excusable. To be fair, the bosses are a bit unkind. If not, how could Li You be forced to do this?"

    "He advocated running a newspaper and wanted to do something, but when he was preparing, he was stabbed by the bosses. It would be understandable to stop it, but the bosses took it away and handed it over to others. This is  Isn¡¯t it a public humiliation?¡±

    "Not only this time, Mr. Li couldn't help but burst out after two times of accumulated anger. It should be noted that gods also have anger, let alone mortals."

    "That's right. Mr. Li had no fault before. It was a good thing for the country and the people to fight the evildoers like Eunuch Duan. But then he lost the admiral of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division and was sent away by the bosses like a mantis behind him.  I must have been holding back a lot of anger in the Imperial College. When I arrived at the Imperial College, I encountered such injustices again and again. I'd be damned if I didn't get angry."

    Sympathy arose.  Li Denggao, editor of the Hanlin Academy, said to his colleagues: "Don't be deceived by Li You. He definitely kicked in the door deliberately! His purpose is just to attract attention and discussion from the court!"

    "So what, Mr. Li has indeed been wronged anyway. It's not an exaggeration to call him a few times." The colleagues smiled and replied.  Who can¡¯t see Li You¡¯s plan?  There's no such thing as cheating or not. Editor Li's words are childish and immature.

    ¡°Kicking in the door is something that is left to others.  There must be an arrogant, disrespectful, and ignorant comment.  How dare a fifth-grade official refuse to be convinced by the collective decision of fifteen bosses?  In other words, what right does a fifth-grade person have to be unconvinced?  Are you worthy of being convinced?  Do you really think that the rules of officialdom are just for show?

    "But when it comes to Li You, it makes people feel a bit "harmonious", and it doesn't feel like "breaking the rules". Even if you fall out, you must have the qualifications to fall out. Mr. Li seems to be a qualified person.

    The reason is probably because after Li You defeated the former eunuch Bingbi and the emperor¡¯s companion Duan Zhien in a fight, his reputation was quietly different from before.  This has nothing to do with class, only with people's hearts.

    In the past, when Li You fought with the elders of the various pavilions, they mostly took advantage of the opportunity to attack.  At best, he is a sniper with a lot of fatal hits.

    So far, Mr. Li has not really defeated a bachelor. No matter whether it is Xu Shoufu, Peng Ge Lao or Yuan Ge Lao, although they have been repeatedly attacked on various matters, they are still sitting in the cabinet.  certainly.  All the pavilion elders also had nothing to do with Li You.

    However, after Li You left office at the end of last year, he only planned for less than a month, and Duan Zhien was overthrown in the last few days of the year. This shock was unusual.

    Although the Chinese New Year is coming soon, Duan Zhien¡¯s downfall did not trigger much discussion, and not many people thought about its significance.  But in a subtle way.  The impact on people's hearts is immeasurable.  The eyes of the masses are sharp, and the eyes of officials are even sharper.

    Who is the model for a person like Duan Zhien?  There are many people in the imperial court who have read history books. It is easy to find some examples from the dark history of this dynasty, such as Wang Zhen of the Yingzong Dynasty, Liu Jin of the Wu Zong Dynasty, Feng Bao of the Shenzong Dynasty, Wang An of the Xizong Dynasty maybe  And Wei Zhongxian.

    ??Although Eunuch Duan has not yet accomplished his magical feats and is still in his infancy, he is recognized as having the potential to become a figure like the above predecessors.  When the eunuch Jian Zai was in the emperor's heart was on the rise, he was even more unstoppable. At least according to historical experience, hundreds of officials could not stop him even if they tried to persuade the palace.

    But when the future Wang Zhen, future Liu Jin, or future Feng Bao of the Jinghe Dynasty were on an unstoppable rise, they were casually slapped to death by Mr. Li. How could they not be awe-inspiring?

    Respect is to respect Mr. Li who stepped forward as a representative of the civil servants, prevented the birth of a new generation of powerful eunuchs similar to Wang Zhen, Liu Jin and Feng Bao, and safeguarded the interests of the civil servants.

      Fear is fear of strength.  On the surface, Li You defeated Duan Zhien by relying on conspiracy, deception and opportunism, but without potential strength as a basis, the conspiracy was like a rootless tree and water without a source, which could hurt the enemy's skin but could not cut off the root.  Hidden strength that cannot be seen or cannot be seen clearly does not mean that it does not exist.

    "It's very simple. What San Yang, Yang Tinghe, Gao Gong, Zhang Juzheng, and the Donglin Party couldn't do or didn't dare to do, Master Li did it.  What is strength, that is, strength, unquestionable comprehensive strength.

    With such strength, it is nothing to challenge, quarrel, or fall out with the Prime Minister with a fifth-grade body. It can only be said to be a normal phenomenon. Even the elder Ge did not publicly accuse Li You of being rude.

    "The same thing, if done by a "powerful" person and done by a "powerless" person, will lead to completely different opinions.

    So although everyone in the imperial court talked about the "kick-in incident" and paid attention to the dispute between Li You and Zaifu, few people were stupid enough to make irresponsible remarks about Li You's character issues and his disregard for dignity.  Even if he were fined with a hundred years' salary, he would not be able to share it with himself.

    And everyone knows that Mr. Li is characterized by tenacity and unyieldingness, and he will almost certainly fight back.  Therefore, now is just the time when the curtain has just been raised, and the real drama will come later.

    Some gamblers have even begun to bet on how long Shi Jijiu can sit as the CEO of the newspaper?  According to incomplete statistics, 80% of people chose to step down within a month. The only debate was whether it should be ten days or twenty days.

    The reason is very good. After Duan Zhien framed Li You for dismissal, it only lasted twenty days. There is no reason why the stone sacrificial wine lasted longer than Eunuch Duan.

    However, more than ten days passed, and by the end of February, there was no reaction from Mr. Li. He was like an ancient well, both calm and unpredictable.  During this period, there was news that Mr. Li was planning to leave the Imperial College and run his own newspaper, and various signs confirmed this.
