Prime Minister

Chapter 568
under the moon.

The streets of Bianjing are still busy.

Zhang Yue and Su Shi brothers walked side by side, while the servants pulled their horses and luggage slowly behind.

After hearing Zhang Yue's words, Su Zhe said to Zhang Yue: "The matter has come to this, what else can I say, I will never ask Wang Jiefu for mercy, in order to tarnish the reputation of my Su family."

Zhang Yue looked at Su Zhe, the young man's gaze was firm.

The father and son of the Su family are quite stubborn.

Back then when Wang Anshi damaged Su Zhe's reputation, Su Xun made a debate on traitors and angrily denounced Wang Anshi's traitor as Wang Yan, and Lu Qi became one person.

Su Zhe also has such a temperament of uncompromising and bowing his head.

Zhang Yue looked at Su Shi again, he silently stood by his younger brother's side, the same is true for Su Shi in history facing Zhang Dun.In fact, Su Shi was at fault for this matter, but Su Shi insisted on not compromising, and in the end it seemed that Zhang Dun was really at fault.

This is a literati style, but it is not suitable for politics.

What is politics? Politics is about compromise.

For some people, bowing their heads and admitting a mistake is as simple as drinking water and eating, but for some people, they would not even kill their heads.

Zhang Yue said: "Ziyou, it's okay to have personal grievances with Wang Jiefu, but don't criticize his political background. Now Wang Jiefu is acting on behalf of Shangyi, and attacking Wang Jiefu's political background is to attack the officials. Remember this."

This sentence is wrong for Zhang Yue. As a private official, he cannot reveal the official's political intentions to others.

But Zhang Yue couldn't help but confide in Su Shi's brother who had a relationship with him.

Seeing Zhang Yue's words, Su Zhe nodded solemnly, and Su Shi said, "Thank you for Duzhi's heartfelt words, we two brothers have saved."

Zhang Yue felt a little relieved when he heard what Su Shi said, so he said goodbye and left.

Su Shi looked at Zhang Yue and said with emotion: "Ziyou, Duzhi is in a high position now, which is different from the past. But he can risk his relationship to say this to us, you have to keep it in your heart."

Su Zhe said: "I'm aware of Du's good intentions. I'm just worried that Wang Jiefu's government will harm the world. It's just like what father said, the world will be harmed by him, and father will get the name of foresight."

The two brothers sighed in unison.

……

a few days later.

"This Su Zhe is really a talent."

The officials took this memorial to the "Book of the Emperor" written by Su Zhe to appreciate it again.

The official said to Zhang Yue, who was driving beside him: "This Su Zhe went to the imperial examination and criticized Emperor Renzong because of his fierce words. I also said that he was a madman."

"But after reading this article, Su Zhe knows that this person has real talent and learning. Only now did he see that his words are correct. It seems that his talent is not in vain to be on the same list as Zhang Qing."

What the officials say is not only flattering Zhang Yue, but even a little bit of love for the house and black.

In Jiayou's six-year system, Zhang Yue and Su Shi brothers happened to be on the same list. If Zhang Yue is so good, then Su Zhe, who is on the same list as Zhang Yue, is also very good.

Hearing what the official said, Zhang Yue said that the minister was very ashamed.

After Su Zhe went to Shushu, he also read the "Book of the Emperor". This article is very well written, the reasoning is thorough, and it is very touching.

Su Zhe's ability to be listed among the Eight Great Masters of the Tang and Song Dynasties is definitely not because of his brother's honor.After reading Su Zhe's memorabilia, the officials made an exception and issued an edict to summon Su Zhe, a ninth-rank official, in the Hall of Yanhe.

This is quite an honor.

However, Zhang Yue was both happy and worried that Su Zhe was appreciated by the officials.

It goes without saying that Su Zhe is talented, but he has conflicts with Wang Anshi.

The tempers of the three of them are so upright!

Zhang Yue saw it and said: "Your Majesty, Su Zhe is indeed an outstanding person. If Your Majesty appreciates it, you may as well keep it by your side. In the future, you may call him for inquiries."

Zhang Yue spared no effort in promoting talents without avoiding relatives and friends.

What Zhang Yue meant was that it would be good for the officials to give Su Zhe a job as a storyteller in the Chongzheng Palace similar to Lu Huiqing, or to enter the third hall.

The official glanced at Zhang Yue and said with a smile: "What Zhang Qing said is very true, but I have other plans. Isn't the Third Division Regulations Department short of people? I plan to use Su Zhe to prepare the Third Division Regulations to review the text. "

Zhang Yue was taken aback when he heard the words. Isn't it the same job as Lu Huiqing to make and set up the regulations of the third division to examine the text?
It is true that the officials entrusted Su Zhe with a heavy responsibility, but...

Zhang Yue immediately regained his composure and said: "Your Majesty's sacred heart is unique, and he intends to cultivate Su Zhe and select talents for the country. These three divisions are the most tempered. If the new law is meritorious, it will be a pillar of the country in the future."

"However, the most important thing for the Sansi Regulations Department is to have ministers with local experience, preferably those who have served as officials close to the people. I remember that Su Zhe was a Jinshi in the second year of Jiayou. Although the director of Shengchi County in Henan Province was removed at that time, after Su Zhe He did not go to the post, but studied in Beijing to prepare for the imperial examination. Su Zhe did not enter until the sixth year of Jiayou. He was originally appointed to be an official in Shangzhou, but because of his aggressive rhetoric, he was rejected by the then..."

Zhang Yuezheng intends to tell the officials that Su Zhe and Wang Anshi obviously disagreed by saying that Su Zhe was sealed by Wang Anshi, and that you also put Su Zhe in the Division of the Third Department of Regulations. Isn't this clearly telling Wang Anshi to punish Su Zhe? ?

But when Zhang Yue said this, he was interrupted by the officials: "What Zhang Qing said, I understand that there is an endless dispute between increasing revenue and reducing expenditure in the court. Su Zhe can propose to abolish redundant officials, redundant troops, and redundant expenses This strategy shows that he has the intention of throttling."

"As long as a minister can put forward such a positive argument, no matter what experience he has or what official position he has, I will entrust him with a heavy responsibility. This is what Zhang Qing said at the beginning."

Zhang Yue thought, did he shoot himself in the foot?

That's right, he said that saving money is better than increasing money, but the problem is that saving money doesn't work. Fan Zhongyan already did it when it could be done.Or if you are the grandson of Emperor Renzong, you can try this road again.

Zhang Yuezheng was about to speak, but seeing the official's suddenly dark eyes, he couldn't help but wake up, no, don't the official know that it's just a matter of fashion?

No, the officials know.

So why did you let Su Zhe go to the Third Division Regulations Division?
Because the officials had known for a long time that Wang Anshi had given back the title, and they knew that there was a rift between Su Zhe and Wang Anshi.

No wonder the official just interrupted his words.

Zhang Yue was stunned.

This is "prevention of things, control of music".

Just as Sima Guangming was about to leave, he even asked the officials three times to invite the county. The officials knew that he was firmly opposed to Wang Anshi's reform, but why did they keep him so many times and told him that "Ji An is in the court, and the king of Huainan dare not Anti', who is this Huainan king?

He even sent himself to persuade him to stay. This is not only to stir up differences...

This kind of emperor's mind...

Sometimes, it is not the courtiers who want to fight, but the emperor uses means to provoke them to fight.

And the emperor's method is the power and system in his hands.

What does Zhang Yue want to say here?
He wants to say that the courtier is a tool man?
Aren't you clearly asking Su Zhe to be cannon fodder?

Does he want to blame the officials?
Zhang Yue remembered that on a sunny afternoon a few days ago, when he was working in Tianzhang Pavilion, Hu Ding was serving tea and water to Zhang Yue graciously.

In Hu Ding's capacity, this is not necessary, but Zhang Yue's persuasion is useless, he must do it himself.

But Hu Ding said to himself mysteriously: "Have Zhang Daizhi heard of the Third Division?"

Zhang Yue smiled and said, "I heard that, why does Hu Gongfu also want to recommend someone there?"

Zhang Yue is not joking. Since the establishment of the Third Division Regulations Division, although there have been many accusations from the government and the opposition, there are also many people who secretly trust relationships to join the Third Division Regulations Division.

There will never be a shortage of opportunists in this world.

Anyone can see what it means to enter the Three Divisions at this time?
These days, Lu Huiqing's proud appearance is not seen by any Jing Yan official.

The Division of the Three Divisions said that it was Wang Anshi, and Chen Shengzhi was named, but Chen Shengzhi couldn't control the matter, and Wang Anshi and Lu Huiqing discussed all matters large and small.

Hu Ding said: "Who recommends someone in there? Hey, there is something I don't know about the rules and regulations."

Hu Ding looked mysterious.

Zhang Yue generally ignores those who are close, and just say what he wants to say, it's useless not to say I beg you, isn't it?

But Hu Ding stopped for a while, and then complained to Zhang Yue: "It's so boring to talk to Zhang Daizhi."

Speaking of this, Hu Ding lowered his voice and said: "Zhang Daizhi didn't know that when Wang Xianggong suggested to the officials to set up the Third Division of Regulations, he asked the officials by name to ask you to go to the Third Division of Regulations."

Zhang Yue kept his expression on the surface, but he was secretly taken aback in his heart. He didn't expect Wang Anshi to suggest to the officials that he should go to the Third Division. Didn't he always look down on him?
How can you ask yourself?

But why has he never heard of this matter?

Hu Ding smiled and said: "At that time, the officials rejected Wang Xianggong with a single word, and as for Wang Xianggong, he gave everyone else he wanted. From this, what does Zhang Daizhi know?"

No wonder.

Zhang Yue suddenly realized that the officials knew that their views were in conflict with Wang Anshi's.

So not letting myself go to the Three Divisions Division is to protect myself.

Who can say that the emperor is ruthless?
No wonder Hu Ding is so considerate to him...

Of course, it is also possible that the officials may not fully trust Wang Anshi, he must be by his side to advise... probably so.

Zhang Yue's memory returned to the main hall from a few days ago, looking at the heroic officials in front of him.

At this moment, the official stands in front of the map of the border between Xixia and Shaanxi, and seems to be talking to himself or to himself: "I have decided on Wang Shao's strategy. If you want to take Xixia, you must restore Hehuang first, recover Hehuang, and destroy Xixia's right arm." ...I am 22 years old this year, and in my lifetime I will definitely watch my Great Song's iron cavalry ride through Helan Mountain!"

Stepping through the gap in Helan Mountain, the later generation Yue Wumu mentioned it.

But this sentence first came from the dispute between the envoys of the Song Dynasty and the Xixia envoys.

At that time, the Song envoy said, "Use 100 million troops to drive into Helan's lair."

But the Xixia people just took this sentence as a joke, and the Song envoy who said this sentence was punished, and even Zhang Yue was almost blamed together.

But this young official has already set such an ambition!

The official's eyes were very distant, as if seeing this scene.

In March of the second year of Xining.

Su Zhe went to the emperor's book to be appreciated by the officials, except for the detailed writing of the three divisions and regulations.

But the elder brother Su Shi was judged and sued the court, and the post was sent for idleness.

But at this moment, Wang Yu was holding a copy of Su Zhe's memorabilia and said to Wang Anshi: "Daddy, you said that Sansu's article is written by a political strategist. You are absolutely right. This article is full of thousands of words. In the end, all you can read are redundant officials. Redundant, redundant words."

"This is Mr. Fan Wenzheng's tooth wisdom. How can there be any insight? It's just dazzling words!"

"I really don't know what the officials mean by allowing Su Ziyou to join the Third Division Regulation Division?"

Wang Anshi looked at Su Zhe's article but remained silent.
