Prime Minister

Chapter 513 Reactivation
Wang Tao quickly ordered the officials and Han Wei to have a meal.

Wang Tao was conceited that he had the highest qualifications and prestige among the masters in the official residence, and the official had always obeyed him, so he resolutely opposed Fu Zhangyue.

Han Wei's official position and qualifications are not as good as Wang Tao's. In the past, no matter what the other party said, he would remain respectful, but at this moment, he felt that the other party was too much.

After Wang Tao rejected Zhang Yue first, he said to Wang Anshi: "This Wang Anshi is not right. Although he is well-known, he is hypocritical and innovative, and he does not trim his appearance. I was the same examiner as him, but I saw that he was full of fleas."

Wang Tao mentioned that Wang Anshi was also an examiner at the time. At that time, the weather was hot, Wang Anshi was sweating profusely all over his clothes, and there were countless fleas around.Wang Anshi wrote a poem to laugh at himself, "The sweat in the autumn heat is like burning tanned, and the clothes are wet and dusty."

Han Wei has always said clearly about Wang Anshi's slovenliness: "A real man doesn't care about trifles, so why talk about hypocrisy and innovation."

The official asked: "This Wang Anshi has repeatedly resigned from the late emperor's order. If I call him personally, will he come?"

The officials are worried that they will not be called, how can they lose face.

Han Wei said: "Your Majesty, as long as you treat your ministers with respect, will Wang Anshi come safely?"

The officials hesitated for a while. Although Han Wei had been admonishing Wang Anshi, he still preferred Sima Guang, but now Sima Guang rejected his proposal to cut expenses, so only Wang Anshi, who was able to manage money, was the only one.

The official thought of this and said: "Mr. Han can write a book with Wang Anshi first. If I understand what I mean, how about I call him again?"

Han Wei said again and again: "If this is the case, Wang Anshi will definitely not come. If your majesty really wants to use Wang Anshi, and first asks someone to write a private letter of Taoism, how can Wang Anshi be willing to do so? Every great sage in the past and present must be courteous, Don't you hear that Liu Bei visited Zhuge's thatched cottage three times?"

When Wang Tao heard the words, is this Wang Anshi comparable to Zhuge Kongming?Isn't this deceiving the emperor?
Han Wei continued: "However, Wang Anshi's son, Wang Yu, is currently in the capital for the provincial examination in Jinke. He has visited the minister's house several times as a guest. The minister should speak in his majesty's will."

The official said: "I also heard that Wang Anshi has literature in high-tech, and now he is giving lectures in Jiangning, and countless people have come to listen to his lectures."

Holding the book that Han Weijin dedicated to Zhang Yue, the official still asked Wang Tao, "What does Mr. Wang mean?"

Wang Tao was proud of himself, and the emperor still had to see what he wanted.

He thought to himself that it would be better to sell Han Wei to save face, but he still needed to beat him.

Wang Tao thought of this and said: "The first emperor used Wang Anshi several times, but he refused to enter the court because of his discord with Han Qi. Of course, he heard that Chiguo and Uncle Hui had good friends with Wang Anshi, so it is logical to use him to enter the court."

What Wang Tao said was a stick with a gun.

He, Han Wei and Lu Gong, represent the Han and Lu families, which are also the two largest aristocratic families. It seems that Wang Anshi is the person recommended by the two aristocratic families, but it is not the case at all.

But Han Weiqing is self-clearing, and he and Lu Gong sincerely admire Wang Anshi's talent.

Han Wei did not refute Wang Tao's words.

The official said: "In this case, according to what Mr. Wang and Mr. Han said, Jinling summoned Wang Anshi to Beijing."

Wang Tao secretly said that it was a pity, and he still hoped that Sima Guang would take charge of the overall situation in the future, but displeasure is displeasure, so that's all there is to it.

Wang Tao glanced at Han Wei, and finally said: "It's just Wang Anshi, but Zhang Yue cannot be used."

Wang Tao thought that the matter had come to an end, and Han Wei would back down a step.

Unexpectedly, Han Wei said: "Your Majesty, Taichang Chancellor Zhang Yue and Long Tuzhi Bachelor Sima Guang are both meritorious officials who made decisions and should not be treated lightly."

But Wang Tao was not willing. When Zhang Dun recommended Ouyang Xiu for a trial position, he was the one who opposed it, which made Zhang Dun unable to enter the museum.Now that he has to deal with Ouyang Xiu and has already offended Zhang Dun, Zhang Yue will also be offended.

Wang Taodao: "In terms of the merits of making decisions, ministers, Lu Huo, Fan Zhen, etc. all have them. However, success depends on Emperor Renzong's thoughts. As ministers, how can we live there?"

Han Wei knew that he couldn't argue with Wang Tao, not to mention that Wang Tao had always been arrogant and unreasonable when he was in the hidden mansion.

In the past, Han Wei always yielded to Wang Tao, but this time he said tit-for-tat: "So, when the bachelor was speaking for the East Palace, Mr. Han personally recommended him. Could it be that the bachelor is also Mr. Han's person?"

Wang Tao raised his eyebrows when he heard this, Han Wei had always been obedient to him, and now he began to expose his faults because of Zhang Yue's matter.

Wang Tao scolded loudly: "Han Chiguo, do you think it was kind of Han Qi to recommend me to be the lecturer of the East Palace?"

Seeing that Wang Taoyue's words became more and more outrageous, Han Wei smiled without arguing with him, and said, "Scholar Wang, please forgive me for talking about Meng Lang."

Wang Tao glared at Han Wei angrily, and then said to the officials: "Your Majesty, the Zhangyue Party is attached to Ouyang Xiu. Once such a person is in the court, he will be like Ouyang Xiu in the future. Your Majesty must not use him. Now give him a salary." Eating is enough to show the royal grace."

Wang Tao made a strong request to the officials. He believed that the officials who had always obeyed and respected him would obey him this time.

But when the official met Wang Tao's gaze, he said, "Mr. Wang, this Taichang Chengzhang is the one I... I want to use! Don't you agree?"

Wang Tao was dumbfounded when he heard this.

Sima Guang is a veteran of Dingce and a leader of scholars. It is not surprising that he recommended it and used it for officials.

However, Wang Anshi's fame has moved the world, and he is an inexhaustible talent. It is not surprising that the emperor invited him from Han Weizhi.

But who is Zhang Yue?

Although the imperial examination is double-headed, but the qualifications are too shallow, and the official is not too long, barely reaching the edge of the court officials.

Why does this chapter have such weight in the eyes of the emperor?
He even refuted himself face-to-face for the first time, something that hadn't happened in so many years.

Wang Tao's lips trembled, but he saw the official saying: "Mr. Wang, in the past, there was a flood in Kaifeng, and all the officials were helpless. Only Zhang Yue prepared for the rainy day, and assigned his subordinates to sail a boat to save more than a thousand people. I saw it with my own eyes when I climbed the Xuande Gate. The people of Kaifeng will remember this in their hearts, and I will also remember it."

"I don't know if Zhang Yue is a talent, but if he puts the people first, then he must be a good official. The former emperor once told me that although Mr. Wang speaks harshly, his righteousness can correct my words and deeds. But I don’t know why today Mr. Wang has the heart to let a good official be buried like this because of party disputes. This is not the truth that Mr. Wang taught me at the beginning.”

Wang Tao was speechless by what the official said. Is this the official who Sima Guang and himself said just now, eager to seek medical treatment and eager for quick success?The other party is now the emperor, not the prince who obeyed him when he was in the palace.

The official finally said firmly: "I want to use Zhang Yue, this intention has been decided!"

Hearing this, Wang Tao immediately stepped back a few steps, then prostrated himself in the tunnel and said, "Your Majesty, I made a mistake."

Seeing Wang Tao's Wusha hat wings trembling unceasingly, Han Wei couldn't help but admire the official's performance just now, and at the same time, he didn't expect that Wang Tao would suffer a day.
