Prime Minister

Chapter 521 Multiplication and division are everywhere in the world

Hearing what Zhang Shi said, Zhang Yue couldn't help being taken aback.

Seventeen Niang beside her was silent. She glanced at her husband. On this matter, she always put Zhang Yue's opinion first, and would not express her opinion easily.

Zhang Shi looked at Zhang Yue's expression after he finished speaking, and he felt a little regretful, and then said: "Third brother, I know you haven't let go of this tone, but there is no overnight feud between brothers, and it has been so long... many years have passed It’s better to let go of everything for brother’s sake.”

After seeing Zhang Shi's words, Zhang Yue thought for a while and asked, "Brother, did uncle and second aunt say something to you?"

This time it was Zhang Shi's turn to dodge his eyes, and Zhang Yue understood it at a glance.

Zhang Yue asked, "Is there anything I can help you with? Is it uncle or aunt who spoke?"

Zhang Shi asked, "Isn't it the same thing?"

Zhang Yue said: "It's different. If it's the second aunt, although she loves Brother Dun, she will never make things difficult for me and make me feel out of proportion. If she speaks, it will be very difficult. Nor will I stand idly by."

"But if uncle speaks... then I only have one sentence from the beginning to the end, and that is helpless!"

Zhang Shi couldn't help saying: "Third brother, your uncle is just being stingy and snobbish for you, but it's nothing. After all, he is a relative of our own. How can there be a big mistake between relatives?"

"Relatives? Do you still remember the face that the old man took care of back then?"

Zhang Yue can't forget the snobbishness of the boss of Zhang Yu's family who cares about that dog and sees people as inferior.

Zhang Yue's sense of Zhang Yu was the same, but Lao Duguan's evaluation was extremely low as soon as he joined.Zhang Yue heard that Zhang Yu meant it, so he didn't even want to ask.

Later, the family was bored eating.

Shi Qiniang learned from Yu Shi that Zhang Dun was impeached by Wang Tao for misbehavior because of Ouyang Xiu's recommendation in October last year, so that he was not given a post in the library.

Today, Zhang Yu spent a lot of effort to get the Academy to recommend Zhang Dun.Fearing that something might go wrong again this time, I heard that after Zhang Yue was promoted to be the Minister of Tianzhang Pavilion, he could participate in the daily life, so Zhang Yu wanted Zhang Yue to come forward and say a few words.

After hearing this, Shi Qi Niang simply didn't tell Zhang Yue, but said in her heart that Zhang Yu's uncle was really ashamed to say such a thing.

Although my husband is currently serving as the minister of Tianzhang Pavilion, he is not on standby. The emperor has not intervened in his political affairs, so it is inconvenient for him to express his opinions.

Zhang Yue has just assumed his new post now, so he will never risk his future.

And at the moment it is in the Hall of Senior Citizens.

But Wang Taozheng, the teacher of the official family, made a loud statement to the emperor: "Your Majesty, Zhang Yue must not be a servant of Tianzhang Pavilion, and please take it back!"

"Why? Didn't I tell my husband before that I want to use this chapter more?" The official was very troubled.

Wang Tao said: "Your Majesty, this minister is not interfering with His Majesty's employment, but the servant of Tianzhang Pavilion is a close minister of the emperor and can predict the secrets. Zhang Yue is here, so it is difficult to guarantee that the secrets of the court will be leaked."

"confidential?"

"Your Majesty, when Emperor Xuan of the Han came to the throne, when he visited the Taimiao and rode with Huo Guang, he deeply felt Huo Guang's eyes were like thorns on his back. I don't know how His Majesty saw Wei Guogong's eyes when he visited the Taimiao?"

The officials were silent when they heard the words, thinking of Han Qi's eyes.

I have to admit that every time I see Han Qi, I unconsciously weaken him by three points and dare not look at him.

Wang Tao sternly said: "Your Majesty, have you forgotten Lu Huo's original memorial? Han Qi's talent may not be as good as Huo Guang, Li Deyu, Ding Wei, Cao used it, and his arrogance surpassed him."

"When the late emperor was around, Han Qi dared to do this, let alone your majesty. Now that Han Qi has been in charge of the three dynasties, your majesty and the late emperor were both set up by him. With such a minister by his side, can your majesty rest in peace?"

"This..." The official didn't know what to say, his teeth trembled slightly when he thought of Wang Tao's words, and he was also a little scared.

Wang Tao looked aggressively and took a step closer and said: "Your Majesty, if Han Qi is not eliminated, what will happen to Yi Yin's affairs if he goes to Huo Guang every day?"

The officials were questioned repeatedly by Wang Tao, and there was some confusion.

The official thought over and over again and said: "But Wei Guogong is the minister of Gu Ming after all. It is inappropriate for me to remove the minister of Gu Ming after I ascended the throne. I saw that Wei Guogong resigned from the post of the Shanling Envoy before, and he intended to leave. Maybe he didn't intend to in power."

"Besides, Wei Guogong has a great kindness to my father and son, and I can't bear to bear it. This is not the rule since my ancestors. Why don't Mr. Wang think of a way to release military power with a drink."

Wang Tao said in a strict voice: "Your Majesty is too benevolent for a woman. For a scheming person like Han Qi, he can believe him when he says he wants to abdicate? Besides, if you don't force him, will he be willing to surrender?" ? I have lived my whole life, but I have never seen anyone who handed over power and position to others."

The officials couldn't help but blush when they were reprimanded by Wang Tao.

Wang Tao saw that the official was intimidated, and his voice turned soft: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I will save everything. Like Wei Guogong and other veterans of the three dynasties, if the prime minister of the dynasty, if he goes to the field, he will have the dignity of a prime minister. As long as your majesty follows the strategy of the minister, when the time comes It will force him to invite the county to the place, so that it will not hurt the relationship between the monarch and his ministers, and it will not chill people's hearts."

"As for His Majesty wanting to use Zhang Yue, I have no objection, but after all, Zhang Yue is appreciated by Ouyang Xiu, and Ouyang Xiu is Han Qi's right-hand man. How can such a subject stay with His Majesty? When His Majesty really wanted to use him, he expelled Han." Qi, after Ouyang Xiu leaves the court, it won't be too late to use the chapter."

The official said: "That's all, let's do it according to Mr."

"Only Zhang Yue was promoted by me just now. I really can't bear to hurt him under the imperial decree. I can't change the order day and night. Let him take another position after a while, okay?"

Wang Tao still refused to hear the words, and said old-fashionedly: "Your Majesty is the king of a country, and he has his own way of advancing and retreating. Why do you care about what others say? As for what your ministers think, it is not your Majesty's consideration."

The official said anxiously: "The third envoy, Han Jiang, was also single-handedly selected by Han Qi, so I won't even listen to Mr. Han's words in the future?"

Wang Tao was taken aback, he didn't expect the officials to say that, yes, the officials were always on guard against Han Qi, but didn't they guard against themselves?The way of balance has always been the art of controlling the emperor.

Wang Tao thought about it and wanted to say more.

The official said, 'I am tired', and took the initiative to end the conversation between the monarch and his ministers.

When Wang Tao left, he couldn't help sighing, thinking that ever since he was the king's mansion, the officials have always obeyed his advice and followed everything, but the only two times he didn't listen to his opinions after he became the throne were all because of Zhang Yue.

Wang Tao couldn't help being extremely unhappy in his heart. His original view of Zhang Yue was just Ouyang Xiu's disciple, so he just obstructed him, but now there are some personal emotions in it.

The next day, when Zhang Yue entered the palace, he first went to the Tianzhang Pavilion to order his hair.

For example, the common people are familiar with Longtu Pavilion and Tianzhang Pavilion, but no one knows what the second pavilion is for.

Longtu Pavilion is a collection of Emperor Taizong's imperial books, collected pictures, classics, etc., as well as the clan roster and genealogy.

The purpose of Tianzhang Pavilion is the same, but it is to collect the imperial objects of Emperor Zhenzong.

After Emperor Renzong built Tianzhang Pavilion, he often met ministers here to discuss state affairs.

During the Qingli period, Emperor Renzong negotiated a peace after the disastrous defeat in the battle with Xixia, and decided to make every effort to govern.

He opened the Tianzhang Pavilion, summoned ministers above the ruling level and officials above Zhiza Yushi to give them seats, and then asked the officials present: "How many things do you need to rule the world, and what should be done first?"

Then Emperor Renzong gave them pen and ink to let them speak freely.

Fan Zhongyan and Fu Bi were scared and did not dare to answer.

After retiring from the court, Fan Zhongyan and Fu Bi drafted the famous "Answers to Shouzhao and Chen Shishi", and put forward the idea of ​​eliminating redundant soldiers, officials, and expenses. Emperor Renzong was very excited after reading it, and then opened the Qingli calendar. Curtain of the New Deal.

In addition to discussing state affairs, Emperor Renzong and his ministers read books here, paid homage to Taizu, and the remains of Emperor Taizong.

Having said that, Emperor Zhenzong liked scholars of literature very much.

Afterwards, Emperor Renzong sent the top ten papers to be burned in front of Emperor Zhenzong's shadow hall, as well as the papers for the imperial examination.

Zhang Yue thought to himself, if Emperor Zhenzong knew about it, he would have already read his article twice.

After leaving the Tianzhang Pavilion, according to the rules, he would go to the Zhengshitang to meet Zaizhi.

But I don't know why all the ministers in the political affairs hall are not in the yamen today, which makes Zhang Yue very strange.

When he walked out of the hall, he happened to hear two officials beside him discussing privately: "Ouyang's participation in politics is over now, not only will he lose his official position, but he will also lose his reputation."

Zhang Yue was taken aback when he heard the words, and immediately walked past the two officials, and then asked a familiar official to inquire, only then did he learn that something serious happened to Ouyang Xiu.

When the first emperor died, there was a censor who impeached Ouyang Xiu for wearing a purple robe under his mourning clothes when he entered the Palace of Funing.

Now the censor Jiang Zhiqi is impeaching Ouyang Xiu, not repairing the thin curtain, and having an affair with the eldest daughter-in-law Wu.

When Zhang Yue heard about the impeachment, he felt completely stunned on the spot.

He vaguely remembered that Ouyang Xiu was impeached in the Shenzong Dynasty in history, but he couldn't remember who and what charges.

This Jiang Zhiqi was Ouyang Xiu's protégé, a Jinshi in Jiayou's second year, and had contacts with both himself and Su Shi. It was Ouyang Xiu's recommendation that the other party became the censor.

Now he actually impeached his seat and leader Ouyang Xiu?
What is going on in this world?
Who made Jiang Zhiqi betray Ouyang Xiu?This crime can not only make Ouyang Xiu dismissed from office, but also ruin his reputation and make him unable to recover for the rest of his life.

Zhang Yue couldn't figure it out.

When Zhang Yue returned to Tianzhang Pavilion from Zhengshitang, he happened to see the back of a purple-robed bureaucrat outside the pavilion, who was none other than Ouyang Xiu.

When Zhang Yue saw him, he hurried forward and said, "Uncle Ouyang!"

Ouyang Xiu didn't turn his head when he heard the words, but said: "Is it to save you?"

Zhang Yue stood behind Ouyang Xiu and said, "It's my nephew."

"Personnel is metabolized, and the past and the present are the same. Today is your first day in office, but for me, Ouyang Xiu, it is the last day in office."

There was a sense of sadness in Ouyang Xiu's words.

"uncle……"

Zhang Yue saw Ouyang Xiu turn his head slowly, and saw that his expression was extremely pale.

One can imagine how much Ouyang Xiu was hit.

To be impeached by one of his disciples, Jiang Zhiqi, whom he elected as the censor, is ten times more painful than being stabbed by the enemy.

Therefore, Ouyang Xiu in front of Zhang Yue seemed to have aged ten years.
