Prime Minister

Chapter 600 Straight Marriage
Zhang Yue and Zhang Zhi, a pair of uncles and nephews, are really two extremes for officials.

Zhang Yue was very reluctant to part with his wife, so he would rather be despised by Wang Anshi and Sima Guang, and he would stay in Beijing instead of being an official.

And what about Zhang Zhi?

Didn't he know that if he stayed with the emperor, he would be promoted faster?
The emperor and him are still young friends, doesn't he know how to cherish this opportunity?

Instead, insist on going to the Northwest to be an official?
The official looked at what Zhang Zhi said was not a joke, and he took back his emotions when he was young, and turned to consider Zhang Zhi realistically.

Liu Hui, the No. [-] scholar in Jiayou for four years, died of illness.

Zhang Yue, the number one scholar in Jiayou's sixth year, was supposed to be released, but because he stayed in Beijing and passed the third-class exam, he has been an official in Beijing.I am also reluctant to let Zhang Yue show up at this critical juncture of the reform.

Xu Jiang, the No. [-] scholar in the eighth year of Jiayou, was originally a judge of the Zhaoqing Army who signed the letter. After two years of descendants returned to Beijing, he was supposed to try out for a post, but Xu Jiang resigned.

Because he was the champion of Emperor Renzong's last point, Emperor Renzong died of illness within a few days after he became the champion.

As usual, the local representative of the champion can be awarded a post in the library when he returns to Beijing.

Xu Jiang knew how to measure it, so he restrained himself and refused the position of the trial hall in order to forgive the general treatment of Yinbang.Han Qi and Ouyang Xiu admired Xu Jiang's move very much, so they did not let him try the post of the museum, but changed to Mingzhou General Judge.

In the second year of Zhiping, Peng Ruli, the governor of the province, was on the list of forgiveness, and he was only appointed as an officer for the Baoxin Army. Now he is the secretary of the Wu'an Army, and he has always been a candidate.

And Zhang Zhi was the governor of Zhiping for four years, and he was also on the list of forgiveness.If he wanted Zhang Zhi to take a test in the library, how would General Xu explain to Peng Ruli?The prime minister must also disagree!

Zhang Zhi said that he would be released to the northwest as an official, but it was actually for his own consideration.

The official family wanted to show off in front of their friends. King Cheng of Zhou even said that he would seal the Tang Dynasty with a word, but he couldn't promote his childhood playmate to stay with him as an official.

The official turned his back, quietly wiped the corners of his eyes, and then forced himself to smile and said: "Alright, you can go to the northwest to hone it first! The imperial court will definitely have a battle with Xikou in the future."

Speaking of this, the official paused and said: "Yes, you are not married yet!"

Zhang Zhi said: "Yes, I have not yet."

The official laughed and said: "Then you have to work harder. I heard that both Wang Xianggong and Lu Zhongcheng intend to call you a son-in-law. Have you thought about who they are going to marry with?"

Zhang Zhi blushed and said, "This... this minister hasn't thought it through yet."

The official said with a smile: "Marriage between a man and a woman is a matter of human relations. What do you have to be ashamed of? My sister, Princess Shoukang, is two years younger than you. How about you being my brother-in-law?"

Zhang Zhi's face turned pale when he heard this: "Your Majesty wants a minister...Princess Chen Shang?"

Seeing Zhang Zhi's expression, the official was overjoyed, and finally patted him on the shoulder and smiled, "Okay, okay, I'll tell you a joke!"

Zhang Zhi was possessed by his soul just now.

After the interview, Zhang Zhi let Yun go home.

When Zhang Shi and his wife met each other, they had their own sorrows and joys.

Yu Shi could not stop weeping with sorrow and joy, but Zhang Shi didn't care about the truth, but it's only been two years, so what?As soon as Zhang Shi said this, Yu was so angry that he took a fly whisk and beat him violently.

Zhang Zhizhi was delighted to see this scene.

It's not that Zhang Shi doesn't love his son, it's just that he doesn't care about it.

At this time, Seventeen Niang brought Xiao Zhang to see her more and more, and Zhang Zhi liked this cousin very much.

Xiao Zhang has already finished reading the Three Character Classic, Hundred Surnames, and Thousand Character Classic, and now Shi Qi Niang has begun to teach him to read the Analects.

After hearing this, Zhang sighed, Zhang's family is indeed the seed of reading!

After Zhang Zhi said this sentence, he was stabbed by Yu Shi, then you also gave birth to the seeds of reading.

Zhang Zhi was embarrassed when he heard his parents urging him to get married, so he hugged Xiao Zhangyue on his lap and taught him his homework in the Analects of Confucius.

Xiaozhang Yueji is very clever, he knows every ten answers, Zhang Zhi is surprised and delighted to see it, and he loves this cousin even more.

After teaching the Analects, Xiao Zhang couldn't help but ask Zhang Zhi how he was an official. Zhang Zhi said everything, and Xiao Zhang said: "Brother is coming back this time, so he won't leave!"

Zhang Zhi smiled when he heard the words and asked Seventeen Niang, the greater the name of Xiao Zhang.

Seventeen Niang said that she wanted to use a 'Gen', which came from the meaning of persistence. Zhang Zhi smiled and said, this name is well-chosen, and reading is expensive and persistent.

Xiao Zhang Yue said, "My brother's name is also very good, I would rather choose it from the straight than the song."

Zhang Zhi laughed when he heard the words, and praised his little cousin for being smart, and his mother taught him well.

At this moment, someone was visiting outside.

Everyone thought that Zhang Yue had gone home.

When I went out, it turned out that someone had posted a post.The person who came was Lu Gongbi's family, the privy envoy, who came to post a post, and asked Zhang Zhi to come and talk about it when he had time.

It turned out that the Lu family had been waiting for Zhang Zhi for a long time, and sent someone to invite him when he was finished.

Zhang directly posted the post, which was also very embarrassing.It turned out that before he returned to Beijing, he also received a letter from Wang Yu, asking him to visit the palace at that time.

At this time, Zhang Yue finally returned home.

When the uncles and nephews met, Zhang Yue couldn't help being happy to see that Zhang Zhi was more mature and stable, and immediately notified people to invite Guo Lin, Su Shi, and Su Zhe to his home.

Zhang Yue and Zhang Zhi sat and talked for a while.

Zhang Yue asked him carefully about local favors. Zhang Zhi was the second official, and the court gave him the opportunity to study politics.

Zhang Zhi said that the place was not peaceful along the way, and there were many bandits.

Zhang Zhi also said that this time, Zhang Yue knew that he had finally met the official family.

Zhang Yue asked Zhang Zhi if the official family had arranged any errands for you?Zhang Zhi said that he had asked to go to the Northwest to serve as an official.

Zhang Yue was also taken aback.

How did Zhang Zhi go to the northwest?
Zhang Yue looked at Zhang Zhi and knew that this nephew seemed to be honest, but he had great ideas in his heart and often did unexpected things.I played around with abandoning the exam before, but now I refuse the appointment of the official who stays with me, and I can do it if I insist on going to the Northwest to serve as an official.

Zhang Yue reprimanded: "Why didn't you discuss it with Uncle San beforehand."

Zhang Zhi said: "Your Majesty suddenly asked, and I couldn't say for a while, so I answered this way. My nephew knows how much His Majesty attaches importance to my nephew, but if I leave someone to talk about it, I will not only be sorry for your majesty's kindness of knowledge, but also hurt you. It made my Zhang family famous."

Zhang Yue nodded and said: "You can take His Majesty and your family into consideration in everything. This is your strength, but you also need to think more about yourself."

"Fortunately, the officials know you well. If other ministers resign like this, they must know what to do."

"What the third uncle taught me is that my nephew understands."

Zhang Yue said slightly: "But since you have already made up your mind, I also have a solution. I knew a Huguang cotton cloth merchant before. You will go to the northwest to contact him this time, and take care of the people's livelihood where you work."

"As for Mr. Hengqu, there are also a few proud students. You should take them with you to the northwest."

Speaking of this, Zhang Yue said: "But you still have one important thing to do when you return to Beijing this time, that is, your marriage cannot be delayed, do you have an idea in your heart?"

Zhang Zhi said without hesitation: "It all depends on the arrangement of parents and third uncle."

Zhang Yue smiled and said: "My fair lady, a gentleman is so good, don't you really have no idea at all?"

Zhang Zhi was taken aback when he heard the words, and the images of Miss Wang and Miss Lu could not help appearing in his mind.
