Prime Minister

Chapter 498 Leave
After Han Qi left, Zhang Yue couldn't help but feel emotional ups and downs. Compared with Han Qi's, his vision and structure were still quite insufficient.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yue couldn't help feeling guilty, listening to the servants shouting outside the prison gate, and the sound of chariots and horses leaving, he let go of the slight grievance in his heart.

But Zhang Yue thought about it, no, he was dismissed by Han Qi, why did he feel like he owed him a big favor after hearing his words? ?
Zhang Yue had mixed feelings at the moment.

In the darkness, Cai Jingxing asked, "Prisoner, what did Mr. Han say..."

Zhang Yue glanced at Cai Jing, who had a complicated expression on his face.

Zhang Yue said: "Master Xiang personally came to tell me about my dismissal from office."

Cai Jing was a little thoughtful when he heard the words, and seemed to be looking forward to the answer, but also not looking forward to it.This is all because of what I said to him before.

Cai Jingdao: "Congratulations to the jailer. Mr. Han came here in person. With this statement, it means that he attaches great importance to the jailer, and he will definitely use it again in the future."

Zhang Yue smiled and said to Cai Jing: "Stop talking about this, go to bed early!"

Cai Jingdao: "Prisoner, just now someone came from Deputy Ambassador Wu's residence and asked him to go back to the residence."

Zhang Yue knew in his heart whether he should come or not. His father-in-law and Shi Qiniang also knew about his dismissal, and he would have to explain it when he went back.

In the carriage, Han Qi said to his relatives: "Since Zhang Yue has given up his scarlet robe and fish bag, he doesn't want to be an official anymore, so he is resigned from his official position."

"But such admonishing officials must use this to talk about things, and the people of Kaifeng are not willing."

Han Qi said: "You don't need to demote him explicitly, just ask another courtier to send him to jail."

It suddenly dawned on me that this is also a first-class way to drive people away.

The officials want to dismiss the privy envoy Zhang Sheng, Han Qi is afraid that it will not look good, because the new emperor will dismiss the important ministers as soon as he ascends the throne, and it will not sound good to say it.Therefore, Han Qi asked Fu Bi to come back and serve as the privy envoy.

Therefore, for a period of time, Zhang Sheng and Fu Bi were also privy envoys.But Zhang Sheng knew very well that neither the Privy Council nor the early court would go, so Fu Bi was the real Privy Envoy.

The same is true for Zhang Yue, if you don't give you a new appointment, if you dismiss your official position directly, you will be scolded to death by public opinion, so Han Qi used this method to appease Zhang Yuehou.

However, this arrangement is not bad for Zhang Yue. Although he has no official job, he still gets his salary.

It will be easy to recover in the future, just change the appointment directly, without having to go through the up and down procedures.

Han Qi pondered for a moment and said, "The person who will replace Zhang Yue and serve as the judge of Yantie Division is also the judge of Yantie Division. The candidate... I recommend Chen Xiang, the magistrate of Changzhou."

Chen Xiang is Zhang Yue's teacher. He is serving as the magistrate of Changzhou. Now he has outstanding achievements.It can be said that he has given enough face and won't offend Zhang Yue if he is sentenced to prison.

The follower sighed: "The Duke really values ​​Zhang Duzhi."

Han Qi was silent for a moment and said: "The old man, with the honor of the prime minister, condescends to come to see this son. I am afraid that he will be told that the old man doesn't respect his status."

"Ms. Xianggong's words are serious. Zhang Duzhi's reputation is not obvious now, but 20 years later, everyone in the world knows that Xianggong's move is like Xiao Heyue's pursuit of Han Xin."

Hearing what his relatives said, Han Qi stroked his beard and said, "I dare not compare myself to Xiao He, and Zhang Yue is not Han Xin either. But I am afraid that this son's fame and fame will not be inferior to Xiao Han's in the future."

The attendants were dumbfounded when they heard the words, they didn't expect Han Qi to speak so highly of Zhang Yue.

Xiao He and Han Xin are both heroes of the founding of the country, what other merits can be higher than the founding of the country?

Han Qi lifted the curtain of the car, but saw a full moon rising slowly over the city of Bianjing, and the night wind slowly blowing into the curtain as the carriage drove.

Han Qi looked at Mingyue, and Meixu was tempted by the wind and said, the moonlight is so beautiful.

The next day Zhang Yue went to the Wu Mansion and confessed to Shi Qi Niang that he was dismissed from office.

Shi Qi Niang was not too surprised when she heard this, but said: "Then what are the officials' plans for the next step?"

Zhang Yue said: "I wanted to discuss with my wife whether to go back to my hometown in central Fujian, but I still have to listen to my wife."

Seventeen Niang said: "The official wants to go back to Pucheng? That's not bad. The official still remembers that we first met in my library."

Zhang Yue recalled this scene and said: "Yes, there are so many books in the library, and someone should take care of them."

"Then Xianggong plans to return to his hometown to farm and study."

Zhang Yue said: "I do have this intention, otherwise I don't know what to do for a living. I'm sorry for you, lady, I couldn't give you an order..."

Seventeen Niang couldn't help but smiled and said: "Sanggong should have thought about it when he beat the treacherous minister. It seems hypocritical to tell me this now."

Zhang Yue couldn't help laughing awkwardly, Seventeen Niang said: "Now my brother, sister-in-law and his family have all moved to Bianjing, and our Zhang and Wu families don't have any relatives in Pucheng. I think you should find a job in Bianjing, official."

"What do you do for a living?"

Seventeen Niang said: "Officer, you forgot that you can write well and have the ability to carve seals."

Zhang Yue slapped his forehead and said, "I'm so confused, but I forgot about this."

Seventeen Niang pursed her lips and said with a smile: "Officer, it seems that our family's shop in Daxianggong Temple will reopen again. When the time comes, when you write, I will sharpen your ink, and when you carve chapters, I will sharpen your knife." ,what do you think?"

Hearing this, Zhang Yue felt that such a day was not bad, so he held Shi Qi Niang's hand and said, "Well, in this way, it is also a day like a couple of gods and immortals."

But Zhang Yue said: "Although Bianjing is good, it is too noisy and complicated. I can't do what Tao Yuanming said is far away from my heart."

Seventeen Niang said: "This is easy. My dowry has a farm in the suburbs of Bianjing. There are fifty or sixty Zhuangding in the village, and hundreds of acres of land. If officials want a clean place, it is best. This Zhuangzi’s harvest is enough for our family to live comfortably.”

Zhang Yue felt that he was just an official, and he didn't need to make a living, and he still had passive income.

Sure enough, marrying a rich wife is good, it can save a man 20 years of struggle!
Zhang Yue held back his joy and said, "Then my wife and I will marry here, and we'll clean it up right away. It might be inconvenient to live in my father-in-law's house."

Seventeen Niang laughed and said, "Officer, you are in such a hurry to move, you can't be ashamed to see my parents."

Seeing that Shi Qi Niang spoke out what was on her mind, Zhang Yue looked up to the sky and laughed, trying to act as if nothing had happened.

Seventeen Niang said: "Daddy already knew."

"Then old Taishan didn't say anything?"

Seventeen Niang said with a half-smile, "No."

Zhang Yue heaved a sigh of relief when he heard the words.

The husband and wife walked to the courtyard, Shi Qi Niang pointed to the flower garden in the courtyard and said to Zhang Yue: "The chrysanthemums are blooming very well this year!"

Zhang Yue sighed: "I remember when I was in the first episode, I was arguing with people about whether the chrysanthemums had fallen. After that, I was too busy with business to plant pots of chrysanthemums to watch, but now I have a lot of effort."

Seventeen Niang was taken aback when she heard the words, and raised her head to look at Zhang Yue's expression.

A few days later, a cavalry soldier in the northwest of Bianjing galloped in with a long cloth full of characters written on it. The people of Bianjing along the way all looked at each other in surprise and doubt.

But the cavalry shouted along the way: "Great victory! Great victory! Great victory in the Northwest, Great victory in the Northwest!"
