Prime Minister

Chapter 558
Hearing what Zeng Gongliang said, Zhang Yue couldn't help but be taken aback. There was something intriguing about these words.

A reprimand is a reprimand, so what to say?

Zhang Yue thought of what Sun Jue and Hu Ding had hinted to him just now, if they can't figure out anything at this time, then don't mess with officialdom in the future.

Faced with Zeng Gongliang's words, Zhang Yue was not at all unhappy about being reprimanded, let alone showing any displeasure because of his extremely low EQ. Instead, he was delighted.

Zhang Yue said respectfully: "Ms. Zeng taught me that."

Zeng Gongliang also put on a little airs, Zhang Yue was promoted by special purpose before, not in the official records of political affairs, not to mention that although the emperor gave the order this time, in the final analysis, the appointment of officials needs to go through Zhongshu.

But Zeng Gongliang is very satisfied, children can be taught.

Zeng Gongliang said: "Zhang Zhengyan already knew he was wrong, so let's stop here."

He also didn't want this matter to cause a grudge in Zhang Yue's heart, so he stood up immediately and ordered to the hall official: "Bring Zhang Zhengyan some tea and medicine!"

After Zeng Gongliang finished speaking, the atmosphere in the hall immediately relaxed.

Zhao Ni smiled and said to Zeng Gongliang: "I still remember Jiayou's six-year provincial examination. Emperor Renzong called me to join the right. At that time, the provincial officials entered the paper with Zhang Zhengyan in it. Later, I heard that butterflies flew to the paper. Decide on its name!"

"Seven or eight years have passed in a flash. Unexpectedly, the champion and I will be here together."

Hearing what Zhao Ni said, everyone laughed.

Tang Jie, who is always known for his stern and selfless face, also smiled and said: "Then, I also remember that the champion in Zhang Zhengyan was the one who helped him get on the horse that day. At that time, Zhang Zhengyan refused to wear hairpins. The official reported back and said that this son's stubbornness in the future may still surpass me!"

After hearing Tang Jie's words, all the hall officials also laughed.

After Tang Jie finished speaking, Zhang Yue also laughed.

Zhang Yue and Tang Jie looked at each other, and he couldn't help thinking that Tang Jie, who was the magistrate of Kaifeng Prefecture, sent him out when he won the first prize that day when he was boasting officials in the imperial street.

All the hall officials could also see at this moment, where did Zhang Yue come to take the blame?On the contrary, the three gentlemen are actively trying to get close to him.

That's not bad.

The hall official who was good at observing words and expressions immediately brought Zhang Yue a cup of tea, put it beside Zhang Yue's case, and said with a sense of intimacy: "You Zhengyan, drink slowly, be careful that the tea is hot!"

Zhang Yue nodded slightly. Everyone on this trip today is very kind to him.

Now that Zhang Yue was reminded by the hall official, he also nodded gently to the other party, which can be regarded as reciprocation.

Then Zhang Yue got up slightly and took a sip of tea to thank the three ministers.

Zhang Yue's etiquette is not bad at all, and he can't be picky at all.At this moment, he understands why when he is humble, he is always arrogant to others, it is to not be bullied.

Now that I have a different position, I have become low-key and humble, so as not to let others say that I am arrogant.

Now the three ministers are still chatting, but the topic has turned to Renzong.

Zhao Ni said with a look of nostalgia: "At that time, Renzong told me that Mr. Xun was a lonely minister on the day of reviewing the papers, so his nephew must also be a lonely minister. I think it must be in the dark."

In words, Zhao Wei still has deep feelings for Renzong.

Zhang Yue knew that Zhao Wei was a lonely minister, but it was difficult for a lonely minister to be a prime minister.He was able to participate in politics because Zeng Gongliang intended to help him.

Tang Jie nodded with emotion. Among the ministers, he had the most quarrels with Renzong, but on the contrary, when Renzong passed away, Tang Jie was so sad that he didn't drink or eat for several days.

Zhang Yue also echoed a few words.

Having said this, the hall official on the side shouted: "Master, respect!"

Zhang Yue knew that this was to see off the guests.

Zhang Yue got up immediately to leave, and the hall official who had just served him tea sent Zhang Yue out of the political affairs hall.

"Be careful on the steps!"

Zhang Yue thanked him with a smile, walked to the door and turned around and said, "Please stay still! Thank you for taking care of me."

The official laughed and said: "Well, in the future, I still need to ask Zhengyan to take care of me."

Zhang Yue was taken aback for a moment, and he said that he would take care of him in the future. Could it be that he thought he would be able to enter the political affairs hall in the future?
Does the other party mean this?
However, it is good to talk three points in the officialdom, there is such a hazy beauty, if it is explained clearly, it is not beautiful.

Zhang Yue laughed when he heard the words, and the other party also laughed.

After Zhang Yue walked out of the political hall, he almost bumped into an official.

The other party is Lin Xi, who is now familiar with Taichang Liyuan. Lin Xi is also a student of Chen Xiang, and he and Zhang Yue are also old friends.

Seeing Zhang Yue, Lin Xi smiled and said, "I just met Senior Brother Sun, I heard that Duzhi has something good for you?"

Zhang Yue shook his head and thought, the news spread so fast in the officialdom, he didn't even hear about it, and others should find out for him.

Zhang Yue said: "I don't know much about it either, yes, what are you doing in the Political Affairs Hall?"

Lin Xi hurriedly said: "I came to the Zhengshitang to talk about sending officials to pay homage to the tombs. I won't talk to you anymore. I will make an appointment to have a drink with Senior Brother Sun at another time."

Zhang Yue nodded and said, "Yes, yes."

Lin Xi bowed his hands to Zhang Yue, and left in a hurry.

Looking at Lin Xi's hurried back, Zhang Yue couldn't help but shook his head with a smile.

Chen Xiang's three proud disciples, Sun Jue, Lin Xi and himself are all in Bianjing now, and they all take care of each other and support each other in the same sect.

If one's position can be raised one step higher, one can protect more people that one wants to protect.

As Zhang Yue thought about it, he remembered the words of the hall officials just now, and then looked at the Zhengshitang surrounded by the Forbidden Palace.

Zhang Yue walked back to Tianzhang Pavilion while thinking.

When he arrived at the pavilion, he saw Hu Ding looking around, and when he saw Zhang Yue, he said happily: "Zhang Zhengyan has finally come, and the official summoned you."

Zhang Yue didn't say anything after hearing this, and followed the eunuch who passed on the message to the side hall of Chongzheng Hall.

After arriving in the hall, Zhang Yue greeted the officials.

The officials are waving their brushes with great interest.

This way of calligraphy can be said to be the traditional art of the Song Dynasty officials, and the characters of all emperors can be mastered.

After the official wrote the last stroke, he said to Zhang Yue: "Zhang Qing, come and see my writing."

Zhang Yue saw that what the officials wrote was Xunzi's famous saying, "If the law is not discussed, then the reason why the law does not come to fruition will be abolished." '

It means that there are laws but no discussion, then where the laws are not thoughtful, they must be abolished.Therefore, since legislative reform is necessary, it is necessary to fully discuss and discuss.

It is true that speaking with one word can establish prestige, but we must understand that there will be no legislation without disputes.

When Zhang Yue saw the official's words, he obviously grasped his intention to let Wang Anshi Sima Guang argue about the two systems.

Zhang Yue immediately said: "Your Majesty is wise, so the ancients said that even though there are laws and regulations, if you don't talk about it, you will never rule it!"

Zhang Yue told the emperor that the Song Dynasty could be saved without reforms, and we are seeking Zhou Zhi.

The official said: "I let you see how my words are, but I didn't let you comment on the meaning behind them."

Zhang Yue smiled awkwardly, did the emperor play this trick too?

Also, when promoting officials, the people above all have to show off, and the emperor will inevitably do this.

Zhang Yuedao: "The official calligraphy is excellent, and today it feels more extraordinary and refined. From the perspective of a minister..."

As the saying goes, cannibals have short mouths, Zhang Yue immediately served a dragon fart set meal.

After listening to Zhang Yue's flattery, the official laughed and said: "Alright, seeing that what you said suits my heart, then I will give you this picture."

Zhang Yue immediately thanked En and took the official's words.

The official said to Zhang Yue: "The two systems will be discussed tomorrow. Do you think Wang Anshi won or Sima Guang won?"

Zhang Yue said without hesitation: "Wang Anshi will surely win."
