Prime Minister

Chapter 576

Zhang Yue's sentence of "recommended by ministers" seemed to be just a small wave in the turbulent waves in the palace.

But even so, Wang Anshi, the official at the top, was still watching.

The officials also said that Zhang Yue was worried about the impact of Wu Jing's impeachment before, and it has been three months since he was promoted to the waiting list, and he still has a lot of worries and dare not easily express his position in the public life.Now he has finally taken the first step, which makes him very pleased.

Zhang Yue is good at everything, but he has too many worries and is too cautious. Sometimes he has to urge him behind and add to his burden.

As for Wang Anshi, his reaction was normal. Zhang Yue's words of "secretary's second opinion" were of no importance to the overall situation, but in Wang Anshi's eyes, they seemed to be crucial to his future career.

Because of Wang Anshi's insistence, Xue Xiang was not questioned.

A few days later, Wang Anshi saw the official statement, and Zhang Jing, who had attacked Xue Xiang, was questioned. As for Xue Xiang, Wang Anshi was promoted as an envoy to Jiang, Huai and other roads.

Of course the officials supported this, but he also heard that Wang Anshi had conflicts with Tang Jie and Zhao Wei many times in Zhongshu because of this, so he was a little worried.

The official asked Wang Anshi: "What do you think of Su Shi's memorials?"

Wang Anshi said: "The establishment of a school is not something that can be accomplished overnight. As for the village to promote virtue and omit articles, it can be postponed if it is also based on reputation and hope, but it is urgent to cancel poetry and prose and change the scriptures."

The official said: "How about I plan to let Su Shi enter the Division of Regulations of the Third Division?"

Wang Anshi immediately objected: "Your Majesty, Su Shi and my minister have different learning and opinions, so you can't let him go. I have planned to recommend Su Shi as an official in Kaifeng Mansion."

The official said: "Is it really unusable?"

Wang Anshi said: "Although Su Shi is a talented person, what he has learned is not correct. Few people use it for the world, and the world suffers from it. Your Majesty must investigate it."

The official nodded and asked again: "Then Zhang Heng's memorandum must have been read by you, how about recommending him to the Third Division Regulations Division?"

Wang Anshi also read Zhang Heng's memorial.

Every sentence is in line with his heart and point of view.

However, Wang Anshi is such a smart person, when he saw Zhang Heng's article, he guessed that someone else might have edited it for him, and this person was probably Zhang Yue or Chen Xiang.

Otherwise, Wang Anshi couldn't figure out how Zhang Heng, who was born as a son of a noble family, would turn his head and vigorously encourage the establishment of a school.Such political views have never been heard from him before.

On the contrary, Chen Xiang and Zhang Yue have said so.

Zhang Heng is not someone Wang Anshi trusts, so how can he be easily inserted into the third division of the Department of Regulations, but he rejected Su Shi before, so it is not easy to speak.

Therefore, Wang Anshi said: "Zhang Heng is the number one scholar, with excellent Confucian classics and articles. Because of his contribution to the speech, you can first promote him to the post of the library and serve as the servant of His Majesty, and then arrange his dispatch, thinking that the imperial court will use it."

Faced with Wang Anshi's objection again, the officials still accepted Wang Anshi's opinion and said: "Then don't let him join the Third Division Regulations Division, and let him be promoted to Jixian Palace Compilation and Compilation!"

Zhang Heng's original position in the library was Zhijixianyuan. Once he was promoted to Jixiandian Xiuzhuan, he stood on the threshold of waiting system, and only waiting system could be promoted in the next step.

Moreover, Zhang Heng can go to Longtu Pavilion to wait in one breath, instead of Tianzhang Pavilion.

Wang Anshi felt that Su Shi was right in saying that the officials were 'too eager to hire people', which simply employed people out of sequence.

Take Zhang Yue as an example, the official family has only been on the throne for two years, and has already been promoted twice.

Chen Xiang is like this, Zhang Yue is like this, Zhang Heng is still like this.

Su Shi's remonstrance had no effect at all, but Zhang Heng was the number one scholar in Jiayou's second year, and his official career will not be a problem, and it will be a matter of time before he is promoted to the waiting list. Wang Anshi doesn't have to worry about public opinion on this.

The officials discussed with Wang Anshi again: "Nowadays, there is a lot of discussion in the court about the method of service and the imperial examination. I can't ignore it at all. I don't know which one can go first?"

Wang Anshi said: "Your Majesty, the service law has spread too far, and it cannot be discussed overnight. The most urgent thing right now is the imperial examination school."

"Most of the world's public opinion and customs come from the school. If the school does not change, the customs will not change. If the customs do not change, reform will be difficult."

The official said: "I have already thought about it. I have thought about the candidate to manage Gou Guozijian for a long time in my heart. I plan to let Zhang Yue also manage Gou Guozijian. What do you think?"

Important court officials such as Lu Gongzhu, Han Wei, Wu Chong and others all held several positions.

This is also a major feature of the officialdom in the Song Dynasty. Drought to death, waterlogged to death.

Many officials are too idle and have nothing to do, so a bunch of redundant officials have been created.

But the emperor instead entrusted him with important responsibilities from people who were born in the museum (people around him). Many officials with important official positions held multiple positions and were as busy as a spinning top.

Zhang Yue was originally sent by Tianzhang Pavilion as the emperor's adviser, and he had to enter the palace to serve the emperor from time to time, and as a waiter, he had to participate in the daily life of the inner palace once every five days, and he was also in charge of the Gou Guozi prison... This is an added burden up.

Wang Anshi was a little apprehensive and hesitant when he heard that the emperor wanted to appoint Zhang Yue to the Imperial Academy.

At this moment, I saw the official sighed leisurely and said: "Wu Chong has already resigned from the admonishment court as Shang Shu and I. He said that his son is Qing's son-in-law, and Qing is now a political adviser. To avoid suspicion, he explained this. job."

What the official said is that Wu Chong resigned from the admonishment court because of your son-in-law. Do you, Wang Anshi, also want to compensate his son-in-law?

In fact, Wang Anshi thought of Zhang Yue's defense of himself in the matter of Xue Xiang a few days ago. Although he knew that he followed Wu Chong's footsteps to support him, but Wang Anshi felt that at least Zhang Yue would not oppose him right now.

Wang Anshi said: "Since Your Majesty already wants Zhang Yue to take charge of Gou Guozijian, then I can only agree now."

Wang Anshi's words were still very reluctant, but the officials were very happy and said: "Zhang Yue has been with me for two years, and he has often made suggestions and suggestions, but it is not easy for me to keep him by my side. meaning."

"Xianggong takes the responsibility of the school as the most important thing. I know that, so I will mention him more to see if he is a talent for history."

Wang Anshi said: "Zhang Yue is definitely a talent for history, but I worry that he and Su Shi generally disagree with what I say."

"That's all for others. If they are not obedient, the minister can change it, but Zhang Yue is His Majesty's private person. The minister is afraid that he won't listen to a word of the minister's words. If he changes, he is also afraid that His Majesty will not look good."

The official heard the words and said: "Hey, why did Xiang Gong say this? The new law is a big plan between me and Xiang Gong. If Zhang Yue doesn't listen to Xiang Gong's orders, I will blame him. If he doesn't listen again, I will remove him from his post." , are you satisfied with being so fair?"

Wang Anshi was a little relieved by the official's words, and then said: "Since this is the case, I have nothing to say."

After that day, the imperial court immediately issued several personnel appointments.

Su Shi changed from a judge to a court to an official from Kaifeng Prefecture.

Zhang Heng was promoted to the compilation of Jixian Palace.

As for Zhang Yue, he is also in charge of Gou Guozijian.

Chen Xiang, who was originally sentenced to Guozijian, was promoted to Zhizhigao.

Wu Chong, Zhang Yue's father-in-law, resigned from the post of Admonition Court and changed to the Trial Court.
