Prime Minister

Chapter 571 Zhang Heng returns to Beijing
Officials thought of Taizu's oath tablet saying "Do not kill scholar-bureaucrats, and write letters to officials", and then thought of the matter of officials taking advantage of changes in the sky to persuade people. .

The officials were taught humbly: "I have been taught what you said."

Generally speaking, if the emperor said he was taught, he had already admitted his mistake.Even if Fu Bi is the current prime minister, it will be almost enough here.

However, Fu Bi continued: "Your Majesty is holy tomorrow, and I only hope that one sentence will benefit. I heard that Your Majesty has set up three divisions and regulations, and wants to change things in China and foreign countries. These words must be made by a villain." To His Majesty."

"But every villain likes the court to change, likes to move and doesn't like to be quiet, and hopes to get benefits from it. Such tactics are disdainful for gentlemen. If the court keeps quiet, there are regular rules, so the villain can't follow it. It is profitable. May Your Majesty candle light on it, and why it is so."

Hearing what Fu Bi said about treacherous ministers and villains, nothing to be afraid of, villains like to make troubles, although they don't name them, but these incidents were all handled by Wang Anshi.

The official said: "What you say and even discuss is the words of gold and stone. I think that those who want to rule the world must be rich before they can be successful. This is what Mencius said. The warehouse knows the etiquette. The three divisions are the court's financial management festival. I will leave it to my ministers to do what I need."

"In order not to be inappropriate, I asked Su Zhe to review the text carefully. This Su Zheqing must know. This person has rules and regulations, and he is straightforward and outspoken. With him in the Department of Regulations, it is expected that the officials will not dare to act recklessly."

Fu Bi frowned. He was admonishing the officials that the three divisions were not available, but the officials said that I had sent Su Zhe to supervise them.Although I have set up the Three Departments of Regulations, I have already prevented Wang Anshi from arbitrating power.

It is the family law of the ancestors to stir up different opinions, and it should be done. I really don't see what the officials can boast about in placing Su Zhe in the Division of the Third Division.

The official continued: "Although I have issued an imperial edict to assist the ministers in the department to correct their serious disadvantages, I also issued an edict to order the three divisions to make judgments, and the officials who shipped and transferred all heard about their interests. Deliberation and deeds do not depend entirely on one person, please rest assured Fu Qing."

Seeing that the officials still did not change their minds, Fu Bi couldn't help but sigh secretly, so he settled for the next best thing.

Fu Bi said: "Since Your Majesty has made up his mind, even though I am suing, I will do my best to plan for Your Majesty."

"However, Your Majesty really wants to enrich the country by deliberating on the new laws of the Three Divisions, but he also needs good ministers to stay away from villains. From my point of view, most of the people Your Majesty has promoted recently are eager for quick success and quick profit, mean and small talents. Although such people It is gratifying to use it, and it is very handy, but it has ruined the atmosphere in the court, and I think that when selecting officials, we must recruit those who are honest and honest."

The officials couldn't help being overjoyed when they heard Fu Bi's approval, and then said: "The virtuous minister and the villain Lao Qing help me argue, so the world will be governed."

When Fu Bi talked about this, he gained a little bit, and immediately accepted it and bid farewell to the officials.

The next day, Fu Bi asked officials to select talents carefully and use them strictly.

The officials also admired Fu Bi's speed. Fu Bi did what he said, and he personally agreed to Fu Bi in the hall yesterday. Fu Bi was afraid that he would renege on his debt, so he went to the edict to ask the official to reply clearly.

The so-called you have no jokes.

The officials only agreed to Fu Bidao: "When using officials, it is up to the court and ministers to distinguish between good and bad."

The officials obeyed Wang Anshi's words before. After Wang Anshi established the Third Division Regulations Division, he promoted many officials to the division, and even promised what to do in the future.

But Fu Bi's action is tantamount to drawing salary from the bottom of the pot.

The personnel rights of the imperial court are not up to you, Wang Anshi alone, but must be negotiated by the ministers.

Wang Anshi was about to use the method of appointing an official to make a wish, so that the officials in the Department of Regulations would work for him to kill the enemy and make contributions in the front line, but Fu Bi's move was equivalent to cutting off Wang Anshi's back-up and food.

The army has just set out, and before the enemy can catch fire, the people here will cut off your food supply.

Now that there is no incentive to appoint an official and make a wish, who else will work hard for you Wang Anshi? Discussing and enacting new laws is something that offends people at every turn.

So a few days later, when accepting Wang Anshi's invitation, several officials were hesitating whether to take up an official position in the Third Department of Regulations, but now they rejected Wang Anshi.

Facts tell us that ginger is still old and spicy.

Later, the officials summoned Wang Anshi.

The officials did not mention to Wang Anshi the matter of Fu Bi's conversation with him a few days ago, but the officials did not say anything, Wang Anshi read the memorial and knew that Fu Bi had made a move.

The officials casually asked Wang Anshi, "How's the discussion on the regulations?"

The officials are asking Wang Anshi that the Third Department of Regulations has been established for almost a month, and Wang Anshi has almost summoned dignitaries from all over the place. Has the matter progressed?
But because of Fu Bi's attack, Wang Anshi couldn't let go of his heart, so he simply answered an irrelevant question.

Wang Anshi said to the officials: "I am reviewing the text, and I have already seen some clues. Your Majesty established the Three Divisions and Regulations Division for financial management. If you want to manage financial resources, you must first make them capable rather than virtuous."

"Your Majesty, in the past, Cao Cao was only able to promote his talents, and each did his best, so he had the foundation of the Han and Wei Dynasties. Now the court employs people to do things first. It is not the top priority. If you are worried about the corruption of customs, then there is no reason to change the affairs of the world. Please also consider the current difficult state affairs, and distinguish the priority of employing people."

The officials were a little embarrassed.

This was an agreement between him and Fu Bi, and he understood that it was aimed at Wang Anshi.

Most of the ministers pretended to be confused and pretended not to know about it.

But Wang Anshi is upright, he doesn't hide it, he doesn't go around the corner, he tells the matter in front of your emperor.

The window paper was directly pierced, leaving no room for negotiation between him and the officials.

The officials really couldn't step down.

But the officials thought about it again, and Wang Anshi's words made sense.

Fu Bi said that officials must be virtuous, and to distinguish between evil and good, in fact, it is not what their ministers say. If they are recognized by them, they are virtuous, and if they are not recognized, they are not virtuous. Those who have scruples can't do it.

On the contrary, it is in line with Wang Anshi's wish to make financial management the top priority.

Under Wang Anshi's words, the officials accepted Wang Anshi's meaning and stood by his side again.

Receiving support from the official family to step down from the hall, Wang Anshi wondered how he had always had a good relationship with Fu Bi before his visit to the prime minister.

And hasn't Fu Bi been recuperating from his foot disease all the time?

Why did he suddenly rush into the palace one day with a cane and tell the officials what was wrong with him.

Is it Fan Chunren's Shangshu?
Thinking of this, Wang Anshi immediately ordered someone to investigate the matter.

Soon someone reported that it was Su Shi who had written an article "Ups and Downs of the Dragon" and sent it to Fu Bi's mansion, mocking Fu Bi for sitting at home pretending to be sick and not going out, and mocking him for not daring to compete with Wang Anshi.

Wang Anshi was relieved after hearing the report, and it turned out that this was the way things were.

The visitor also reported to Wang Anshi that Su Shi complained all day in the court, saying that his work was too leisurely and he had nothing to do every day.He also told others that Wang Anshi was afraid of himself, so he arranged for an idle job to be dispatched.

Wang Anshi shook his head.

He has heard Su Shi's dissatisfaction with him more than once from others.

Su Shi and Su Zhe returned to Beijing at the same time, and Su Zhe was personally called by the government to put him in such an important position as the Division of Regulations of the Third Division.

One of the two brothers is already in an important position, and the other is in any idle position. This is also a normal personnel arrangement.

But Su Shi thought he was taking revenge on him?
At this moment, Wang Anshi stroked his beard in front of this song "Undulating Dragon Walk" and remained silent for a long time.

……

Zhang Yue was walking in the palace path that day, when he bumped into a person rushing out from the corner gate.

Zhang Yue was in pain and had a face-to-face meeting with the person who hit him.

"Speed ​​it up!"

"Long Zhai!"

Zhang Yue met with a middle-aged man. Zhang Yue only had two chiefs in his mouth. One was Liu Ji, a former classmate of the Taixue Academy, who was the number one scholar in Jiayou's fourth year, and the other was the number one scholar in Jiayou's second year, who was also Zhang Yue. Yue's family relative Zhang Heng.

Zhang Yue and Zhang Heng met suddenly in the palace city, and Zhang Yue saw Zhang Heng's embarrassed appearance.I don't know what to say.

Zhang Yue knew that Zhang Heng had just been transferred back to Beijing.Zhang Heng was forced to leave Beijing because he offended a large group of people in Sansili, and has been serving as an official in the local area since then, but now he is transferred to Taichang Temple in the capital.

Judging Taichang Temple's errand is not low.

For example, several officials of Taichang Temple, Gong Dingchen, and Liu Neiquan were sentenced together with Zhang Heng.

Han Wei is now a Hanlin Bachelor.

Chen Jian is a direct bachelor of Longtu Pavilion.

There is also the father-in-law Wu Chongzhi made the patent, and the Zhijian Court also sentenced Taichang Temple.

However, the high status of dispatching is high, but it is an idle job.The current status of Taichang Temple is not as good as that of Taichang Liyuan where Zhang Yue once worked.

This is the way for high-ranking officials to support people in idle positions in the officialdom. An official position like Zhang Heng was given a low position, which did not match his status as the number one scholar. He was given a higher position, but after all, he made mistakes before. He was offended in order to be a lonely minister for the emperor. A lot of people.

Zhang Heng has finally tasted the pain now, and returning to Beijing this time is like retirement, and his spirits have completely dissipated.

Zhang Yue invited Zhang Heng to drink in Fanlou.

Zhang Yue poured wine for Zhang Heng and inquired, only to find out that when Zhang Heng entered the palace today, he was inquiring about the appointment of the interviewer, but he was told by the door that his appointment was topped by someone from behind.

Some people rejected the closing schedule, which shows how unimportant they are in the hearts of these people.

Zhang Heng was very indignant and quarreled with Hemen for a few words, and couldn't help saying, do you know who I was back then?
As soon as this remark came out, it was ridiculed by several door officials.

Zhang Heng left angrily and bumped into Zhang Yue.

Now that the two are sitting opposite each other, every time Zhang Yue pours Zhang Heng a glass of wine, he drank it all in one gulp, drinking quickly, it seems that Zhang Heng will pass out after a few glasses.

Seeing the other party like this, Zhang Yue remembered that Zhang Heng was the one who flew the highest and the farthest among his fellow villagers in Pucheng, but now he fell behind.

Zhang Heng said: "Duzhi, I saw Zihou the day before yesterday, he rode a tall horse in and out of the palace gate, he is really majestic..."

"And you are already under control now, but I am very happy to see that you two are now successful. You are not like me. It seems that although you have a high official position, you have no real power. Even a close official dares to ridicule and laugh at me!"

Seeing Zhang Heng like this, Zhang Yue stopped pouring wine to persuade him, "Master Zhai, it's not that I knew you at the beginning!"
