Prime Minister

Chapter 532 The risk of recommending people

"Zhang Qing, why do you have this expression?"

The officials looked at Zhang Yue with a hideous expression.

"Chen...Chen almost choked..."

Wen Zhangyue said this, the waiters on the side all smiled, and the officials laughed loudly.

"Hasn't Zhang Qing eaten it before? Then when the imperial chef makes mutton intestine soup cakes, he always sends a bowl to Tianzhang Pavilion."

Zhang Yue hurriedly said: "I have thanked Your Majesty. It is not because of him, but when Your Majesty just asked, I happen to have a candidate in my heart!"

When the official heard it, he immediately asked: "I don't know who is the one who can make Zhang Qing lose his temper so far?"

Zhang Yue said: "Your Majesty, this person is the judge of the Qinzhou Xiongwu Army Jiedu, Wang Shao who knows the ancient Weizhai."

"Wang Shao?" The official seemed to have heard of this name somewhere, yes, he remembered it.

It turned out that in the third year of Zhiping, Xixia was promoted to the western envoy city as the Baotai army, and Li Liangzuo guarded it with his son-in-law Yu Zanghuama.

Xishi City is only 120 miles away from the ancient Weizhai. Li Liangzuo not only built a government office here, set up warehouses and valleys, but also moved the headquarters of the Baotai Army here. Actively plotting to move eastward.

Xue Xiang once suggested strengthening the defense of the ancient Wei village.

The officials did not understand the ancient Weizhai, so they asked officials who were familiar with military affairs, and learned that the ancient Weizhai was originally called Weizhou, and it fell to Tubo when it reached Germany.

In the first year of the emperor's reign, Lin Zhan, a local fan, offended the Xixia people and offered land to the Song Dynasty, so the Song Dynasty got the land.

At that time, court officials also had a heated debate on whether or not to have the ancient Weizhai.Lu Gongchuo's elder brothers Lu Gongchuo and Liu Chang both opposed it.

Fan Xiang, who even took back the ancient Weizhai and built the city here, enjoyed the treatment of being demoted.

The officials couldn't help but get angry when they saw it. They didn't have any credit for opening up the territory of the court, and they were demoted.Later, I learned that Wang Shao asked the imperial court to garrison this ancient Weizhai. With a few hundred soldiers, a small village actually recruited [-] people from the nearby tribes, so I got an impression.

But it's just an impression, because Xue Xiang, the transshipment envoy of Shaanxi, and Li Shizhong, the appeasement envoy of Qin Fenglu Economic Strategy, never mentioned this Wang Shao at all.

It is also impossible for the officials to cross Shaanxi Road, the chief of Qinfeng Road, and use a small judgment.Officials like Wang Shao have at least a few hundred in the memorials read by the officials every day. Although they have made a lot of contributions, it is impossible to really take it to heart.

What's more, if the officials wanted to mention Xue Xiang, they were opposed by a large number of people including Sima Guang in the court, let alone employing people more and more often.

Now that Wang Shao was introduced by Zhang Yue to Yuqian, he could finally be said to be the real God of Heaven.

But I saw that the official took a few ties from the bookcase next to the imperial case. The cover of the ties was brocade and the center was pasted with white paper.

One of the zhazi has two words "side affairs" written in the center.

The official family should spread out the Zhazi of the border affairs and the previous page of the imperial case, and finally turned to one-third of the position and wrote the word "Wang Shao" with the imperial pen, and before Wang Shao's name was Kind of err.

The more he didn't see all these chapters, he turned his back knowingly when he saw the official writing Zhazi, and said a few words to the people beside him after the official wrote it.

Then the official asked Zhang Yue, "How is Wang Shao?"

Zhang Yue told about his acquaintance with Wang Shao.Not long after the edict was known, fellow practitioners noted that Shao must arrive here.

After the official questioned Zhang Yue, he asked Shao Bi again, "How about Wang Shao's sentence in the Qinzhou Festival?"

Zhang Yue also knew that the officials could not rely on their own words, and had to listen to different opinions.

Shao Bi thought for a while and talked about Wang Shao's resume, and then he talked about Xue Xiang. Li Shizhong said that Wang Shao was a bit unruly. The ugly thing is to support your own self-respect.

Zhang Yue couldn't help helping Wang Shao when he heard this. Before Wang Shao went to Shaanxi, he repeatedly told him to be honest as an official, but he just forgot to remind him to have a good relationship with his superiors.

As a result, Wang Shao actually left such a comment in the officialdom.

You must know that the most feared thing for the emperors of the Song Dynasty is that the military generals have self-respect. Although you, Wang Shao, are a civil servant, you can still be regarded as guarding one side. You have such a reputation. How can the court use you in the future?
anyway.

Didn't Xue Xiang give Zhang Yue a thousand salt notes every year?
Zhang Yue took money from Xue Xiang with his left hand, and gave Wang Shao his right hand.

Now Zhang Yue has become Wang Shao's veritable creditor. If interest is not counted, Wang Shao owes Zhang Yue six thousand salt bills, half of which is from the Exchange and half from Zhang Yue.

Based on the current market price of ten guan for one seat, Zhang Yue owes about [-] guan, which does not include interest.

This can be said to be Zhang Yue's entire net worth.

And this Wang Shao didn't have the slightest awareness of being a debtor, and he never told Zhang Yue where the money went. Every time he wrote to Zhang Yue, he only emphasized one thing - money!
Those who owe money these days are so awesome.

Zhang Yue is now like an investor in Wang Shao's angel round. He has not made a dime from the investment so far, but he has to find investors everywhere for him.

It can be said that Zhang Yue was kind to recommend Wang Shao, everyone has this attitude, as for the other Li teachers, let alone Xue Xiang, no wonder he has such a bad reputation in the officialdom.

Maybe it will hurt myself in the future.

Sure enough, after listening to Shao Bi's words, the officials had a new understanding of Wang Shao.

But luckily Shao Bi said next, he heard that Li Shizhong was also harsh, and repeatedly withheld the grain and supplies sent to the ancient Weizhai under the pretext of this.

The officials couldn't figure out whether there was a problem with Li Shizhong or Wang Shao.

Zhang Yue hurriedly remedied: "Your Majesty remembers that Wang Shao once said that he was naturally judgmental and didn't like being judged by others, and he couldn't get along with the two county magistrates when he was the master."

The official was finally relieved after hearing this, and then said: "Since ancient times, capable ministers like Huo Qubing have had tempers, so there is no need to mention trivial matters. Now I want to learn from Cao Cao and use people as meritocracy."

Zhang Yue is also a little relieved, the recommender is also responsible for the seat, don't think that recommending an official will be a good thing, and if someone commits a crime in the future, he will have to bear it.Zhang Yue secretly reminded himself that he must be cautious when recommending officials to officials in the future.

Afterwards, the officials asked Shao Bi how he accepted Wei Mingshan's brothers and recovered Suizhou.

Shao Bi cited the story of the ancient Wei village.

After the ancient Weizhai was established, the Song Dynasty and the Qingtang Dynasty turned against each other. In order to retaliate against the Song army's establishment of the ancient Weizhai village, the Qiangs broke through the Guangwuling Fort and killed more than a thousand Song soldiers. Fan Xiang was dismissed after this matter.

The implication of Shao Bi's words is that when the Song army established the stronghold in Guwei, they could not win the battle against Qingtang.

The recovery of Suizhou is an enmity with Xixia, and now the court will win Xixia?What if Xixia Qingtang comes to commit crimes at the same time?Your Majesty, please weigh it carefully.

The officials were very disappointed after hearing Shao Bi's words, and Shao Bi also knew that he was wrong with the officials, so he left immediately.

After Shao Bi left, the official said to Zhang Yue: "Zhang Qing was the first to plan things out. It was really a great achievement to enlist Wang Shao to guard the ancient Weizhai and recruit tens of thousands of tribes. The former emperor didn't reward you back then, but I will remember it." In the bottom of my heart."

Zhang Yue's face was almost filled with anger, but he said on his face: "How dare I ask for a reward for opening up the territory for the imperial court."

The official looked at Zhang Yue and sighed: "It would be great if there were more ministers like Zhang Qing who are doing things for the country in the court."
