Prime Minister

Chapter 434 Speech
talent!Talent is rare!
In the yamen of the Transfer Department, Xue Xiang paced back and forth while stroking his beard.

Just now he had a little consideration in front of Zhang Yue, but now in front of Cai Que, he is a prince who promises everything.

Cai Que said to Xue Xiang: "Caoshi, this empty talk is groundless. I'm afraid there is a fraud in it. Could it be Zhang Duzhi who deceived us?"

Xue Xiang was very satisfied with Cai Que's attitude, Xue Xiang deliberately said: "Why do you say that about him, isn't he your classmate when you were a student?"

Cai Que said: "Report to the cao envoy, the next official is now a member of the Yunsi. This official is public and private is private. The next official must distinguish clearly."

Xue Xiangdao: "Well said, but I'm not afraid of Zhang Duzhi cheating us. If he doesn't finish the promise, I will drag him. But his method is indeed feasible. Don't mention anything else, let's talk about him. You can do things in Beijing."

"Take the Bianjing Exchange as an example, how much dividends, how to operate, where to make profits, as well as the division of shares, and the system of bidding. I dare say that no one else in the world can figure it out."

Seeing that Xue Xiang was full of praise for Zhang Yue, Cai Chu felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

Xue Xiang saw Cai Que's expression in his eyes, and said with a smile: "In the future, the third division will rely on you to communicate with Zhang Duzhi. Cai Xiang and I have long since died of old age."

"But you and Zhang Duzhi are friends. But you remember that friends come because of profit, and leave because of profit. Today we sit together to eat because there is wine and meat. In the future, when the banquet is over, everyone will slap their buttocks." Leave, no one owes anyone. When you need to find him someday, make another banquet, and he will come."

Xue Xiang laughed loudly after speaking.

"In the past few days, you will do your best to be a landlord for me. Whatever Zhang Yue wants, I will give it to him. Even if it is the moon in the sky, I have to give it to him."

Cai Que took the officials of Jingzhao Mansion to invite Zhang Yue to a banquet for several days.

When the new king ascends the throne, he will amnesty the world.

It is also reasonable to start a course to obtain a scholar.The new ruler ascended the throne, known as the Longfei Ranking, but it will be two years later.Therefore, the imperial court issued an order to select outstanding talents from the prefectures and counties, and the scholars who failed for a long time were sent to the capital or the Bagong Guozijian, so as to win people's hearts.

Therefore, from Jingzhaofu, officials with outstanding literature were selected from prefectures and counties to conduct the test.

Now that the results of the examination had just been released yesterday, Cai Que invited Zhang Yue to the Gong Yuan of Jingzhao Mansion to meet the examiners and scholars.Zhang Yue immediately agreed to Cai Que's visit to the Gongyuan.

When Zhang Yue arrived at the Gongyuan, his general feeling was that he was a champion in the college entrance examination and went to other schools to give lectures.

Not everyone has this qualification. For example, Xue Xiangyinbu was born. Although he is the highest chief executive along the way, he is not even a Jinshi. He would not come to this occasion even if he was invited by eight sedan chairs
Zhang Yue went to the Tribute Court, but when he saw the examiner, all the candidates were waiting outside.

Zhang Yue first greeted the examiners one by one, and Su Shi came second.

When it was Su Shi's turn, the other party smiled at Zhang more than a smile, Cai said: "This is Su Shi, Su Zizhan, the magistrate of Fengxiang Mansion who signed the letter!"

Su Shi's original official name was the magistrate of Fengxiang Mansion, but because he avoided the name taboo of the new emperor Zhao Shu, he is now called the magistrate of Fengxiang Mansion.

Zhang Yue smiled and said to Cai: "Brother Zi Zhannian and I are old acquaintances, so there is no need to say more!"

Cai Que pretended to forget and said with a smile, "I didn't notice it for a while."

Su Shi laughed and said, "Brother Du Zhinian, don't come here unharmed!"

Zhang Yue said with a smile: "Thank you, brother Zizhan."

Zhang Yue and Su Shi laughed and talked to Yan Yan, shaking hands and talking to each other.

The examiners and candidates on the side were all very envious. Only Su Shi could make friends with Zhang Zhuangyuan and become a confidant.

The rest of the examiners met one by one, and the last one was Zhang Dun.

Scholars go to local officials for three years to grind.

According to the law of the third year of Jiayou, the system was ranked fifth, and the fourth and fifth Jinshi, except for the title of county magistrate;

Zhang Dun first served as the county magistrate of Shang Luo County, and after returning on behalf of him, Jiayou moved to the post of Jiedu Tuiguan of the Xiongwu Army in the seventh year, as if he had stepped over the ranks of the junior officials and jumped to the ranks of the two envoys.

When Zhang Yue saw Zhang Dun, he vaguely returned to his youth, how many years passed before his eyes.

Every time I see each other, Zhang Dun always looks domineering, and now the two face this side...

Before Zhang Yue could open his mouth, Cai Que said, "Why don't you be polite when Zhang Tui sees the Shangguan?"

Without even looking at Cai Que, Zhang Dun looked up to the sky and said, "How can I hear a dog barking!"

Cai Que's face changed when he heard the words, Zhang Yue signaled to the other party: "Brother Chizheng...you don't have to..."

Zhang Yue looked at Cai Que and said, "Brother Zhang and I belong to the same surname and hometown, so there is no need to stick to this common etiquette!"

Zhang Dun's eyes fell from the clouds to Zhang Yue, and he smiled thinly and said, "Finally, I look like an official."

"Don't dare to ask brother Zhang to make a point!"

Zhang Dun kept his hands behind his back all the time, Zhang Yue took the initiative to throw his arms around and bowed to the other party, and Zhang Dun returned the bow.

Zhang Dun said in a long way: "Autumn is coming in Shaanxi, so you need to wear more clothes at night!"

Zhang Yue said: "I will know!"

The eyes of the two separated.

Zhang Yue turned around and left, while Cai Que walked up to Zhang Dun and snorted heavily, then walked away, and the rest of the accompanying officials followed Zhang Yue.Zhang Yue, Cai Que and other officials stood on the high platform together, and there were more than [-] candidates selected from Shaanxi to go to Beijing in the audience.

Zhang Yue faced the crowd, and at a glance, he saw that the candidates' eyes were showing reverence and worship at this moment.

Today's meeting, these candidates will definitely brag about the experience of this meeting with their family and friends when they go back.

Generally speaking, Zhang Yue just nodded and bowed to everyone. At that time, officials had little habit of giving speeches, and it is actually the same today.

But Zhang Yue looked at everyone and said with a smile: "It coincides with this meeting, so I'll just say a few words."

Everyone was taken aback, Zhang Yue actually wanted to speak in front of so many people?There is no such precedent!

Zhang Yue said: "First of all, I would like to congratulate you all on getting to Beijing. Looking at you, I think of when I was young when I came to Beijing from Fujian to pay tribute, and I was just like you at that time."

"I was only 14 years old at the time... I walked thousands of miles from Fujian to study in Beijing. I envy you at least not having to leave home so far."

All the candidates smiled slightly.

"Later, I entered the Taixue University, won the Jinshi examination, won the number one scholar, and entered the third class together with Brother Zizhan!"

Zhang Yue looked at Su Shi at this point, and Su Shi nodded with a smile, expressing that he remembered those years.

Zhang Yue continued: "I still think about my happiest days, and it was before I was awarded a Jinshi... At that time, I didn't care about the harvest after studying hard."

"Perhaps you all think I'm talking nonsense, but the matter of being a big leader in the world is in the past. We learned well when we were studying, but it doesn't necessarily mean that we are now a big official."

"For many officials, the day of being a Jinshi is the pinnacle of life, and most of them will spend their entire lives in the officialdom. But for the ambitions made when they were young, and the original expectations, there is always something missing .”

"However, I still hope that you can embark on this path. You all want to ask me why I study?"

"I remember thinking about this question when I was young. It was the day when I was studying in the county school. I sat in the Panchi before the county school in my hometown. Although I couldn't answer this question. But at that time, I saw the Panchi and the clouds in the sky. So I wrote a poem to remember the state of mind at that time!"

When everyone heard the words, they all showed eagerness to listen. Zhang Dun also came from Pucheng County School, and he also remembered the county school.

But seeing Zhang Yue read: "When the half-acre square pond is opened, the sky, clouds and shadows linger together. Ask how clear the canal is? It is because there is a source of flowing water."
