Prime Minister

Chapter 714
Gao Zunyu is no longer a vegetarian. When Zhang Yue, Wang Shao, and Cai Yanqing squeezed him out, his counterattack also started.

After Wang Shao learned that Yuan Zhongtong had been arrested, he rushed from Tongyuan Army to Lintao overnight.

Seeing Wang Shao's bloodshot eyes, Zhang Yue knew at a glance that Yuan Zhongtong had been arrested, and that he was completely pinched.

Zhang Yue screened back to the left and right, and personally made a pot of tea for Wang Shao.

Zhang Yue said: "I have heard about this matter. If Gao Zunyu handed Yuan Zhongtong over to Cai Yunshi or Lu Jinglue for disposal, there is still a chance to turn the matter around. The most feared thing is that he directly escorts Yuan Zhongtong to the capital, so everything can't be covered up." Living."

Cai Yanqing, Lu Gongbi and Zhang Yue belonged to the same class of civil servants, and Lu Gongbi was also Zhang Yue's in-laws. Everyone was easy to talk to, and it was indispensable for officials to protect each other.

It was like a dream that Gao Zunyu wanted to bring down Wang Shao with this.

Wang Shao nodded and said: "I don't think Gao Zunyu is a fool. He understands this. He probably took him directly to the capital."

"That's impossible! Zichun, drink tea!"

Looking at the hot tea, Wang Shao gritted his teeth and said, "Please keep the manager for Wang! Wang is very grateful!"

When Zhang Yue saw that Wang Shao was so submissive, he smiled slightly and said, "Zichun, why don't you write to Wang Xianggong and ask him to do you a favor?"

"what?"

Wang Shao...

Wang Shao's eyes froze at this moment, Zhang Yuezao already knew about his private relationship with Wang Anshi, Wang Yu and his son.

That's right, Zhang Yue single-handedly promoted Wang Shao to Gu Wei, and since then he has stood up, and was later recommended by Zhang Yue to Han Jiang.

But isn't Han Jiang dismissed now?
Therefore, Wang Shao couldn't help but want to find another mountain, so he secretly communicated with Wang Anshi, and reported everything about the Yuanbian Economic and Strategy Department to him.

After Zhang Yue knew about this, of course he was unhappy in his heart.

Leapfrogging the report is a very taboo thing, no one wants to be planted with a spy by his side, and Wang Shao is still the kind of person who has been favored by Zhang DaDa, this is simply the behavior of a second-rate boy.

Cai Ting secretly reported Fan Zhongyan's affairs to Lu Yijian when he was in charge of Jiyi under Fan Zhongyan.

Therefore, even though Cai Ting is very talented and made great achievements like the Battle of Dashun City, he has not been promoted because there is no one in the court.

The reason why Cai Ting has no one in the court is because of his bad reputation.

Hearing Zhang Yue's sudden mention of this matter, Wang Shao had nothing to say for a moment, so Zhang Yue glanced at Wang Shao.If the other party is not Wang Shao, if the second person dares to do this, Zhang Yue will definitely be expelled and never hired.

But who called the other party Wang Shao?
In fact, this is also normal. When you meet more people in the world, you will find that many very talented people often have amazing shortcomings in other aspects.

This is why when we look at people in history, we look at people with a filter from a far away place, and the other party is amazing.

But when you take a closer look and take a magnifying glass, you will find that many things are just broken on the ground.

Therefore, don’t be too serious when interacting with others. When looking at people, always look at their strengths, and when looking at yourself, look at their weaknesses. Especially those in high positions are more tolerant than others. Whoever has no flaws, just use their strengths.

Seeing that Wang Shao hadn't completely repented, Zhang Yue continued to beat and said: "Zichun, in the past Han Xin asked the way to kill woodcutters, and people praised him as a general."

When Wang Shao heard Zhang Yue's metaphor of asking the road and cutting woodcutters, he couldn't help but look very ugly.

"Zichun, you have the talent of Han Xin, but the friendship between you and me is the most important thing. If you talk to Wang Xianggong, you should at least let me know, otherwise it will be easy to create a estrangement."

Wang Shao lowered his head and said, "I don't dare to... I won't dare to write to Wang Xianggong again."

Zhang Yue said: "If you don't write it suddenly, wouldn't it be suspicious, especially now that something happened, you should explain it clearly. And this Yuan Zhongtong knows what's wrong with you, you need me to tell, so I can help you in the future! "

Seeing the hesitation in Wang Shao's eyes, Zhang Yue smiled and said: "It's okay, Zichun just think about it. I still have business..."

Wang Shao immediately said: "In front of Jinglue, how dare Wang have anything to hide..."

So Wang Shao said it clearly, and Zhang Yue understood after listening to it, what is meant by something that is not on the scale, it only weighs four or two, and once it is on the scale, it will not be able to hold a thousand catties.

This Wang Shao is really courageous enough, if all these things are exposed, let alone Wang Shao himself, he will have to be implicated and suffer a lot.

Wang Shao saw that Zhang Yue's face became more and more ugly as he heard it, and he hurriedly said: "Reporting to Jinglue, now that you use things to employ people without showing personal favors, how can the people below be willing to die for you? Wang does have selfish intentions, but it's also Jingluexi The river's plan does not leave room for itself."

Zhang Yue said in his heart, if you don't leave room for yourself, why leave room for yourself, why don't you ask me to wipe your ass now.

Wang Anshi didn't do anything for you, you were confiding in him, I wiped your ass all day long, yet you still tipped people off without telling me?

Although I warned myself that I must be tolerant, I can't mention this matter, and I will get angry if I mention it.

Zhang Yue said: "This matter is too big. You said that you gave Yuan Zhongtong [-] guan salt banknotes to set up a market transaction company. You knew that he was greedy for [-] guan for his own use but tolerated it. What should he do now that he provides Gao Zunyu?" ?”

"There is also this matter of embezzling government loans, embezzling money from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to buy horses and salt, which involves tens of thousands of guan, not only you, but also Huang Cha, and even Wang Junwan are involved in this matter, once we are found out How many civil and military officials on Xihe Road will be uprooted? I will also be charged with lax governance."

Wang Shao was also disheartened, and he got angry and said: "Many of these things were done before Xihe. I, Wang Shao, do it alone and take care of it. At worst, I will be dismissed from my post."

"Dismiss your official position? Do you think you can blackmail the court? Without you, the court would have no one else to open up Xihe River?" Zhang Yue scolded Wang Shao, and Wang Shao also blushed, not daring to reply .

Seeing that Wang Shao was intimidated, Zhang Yue softened his tone a little and said: "If Gao Zunyu insists on bringing this matter to the official's house, no one can protect you. Now you have to attack the river and Tao Erzhou, and capture the wood alive. Only by doing so can we atone for our crimes!"

Wang Shaodao: "However, it will take three months to train soldiers and horses, and Gao Zunyu will be in the way. When Yuan Zhongtong arrives in the capital, it will be too late for regret."

Zhang Yue smiled slightly, and said confidently: "You can rest assured that..."

Wang Shao's eyes froze and he asked: "The meaning of Jinglue is to make Yuan Zhongtong... unable to reach the capital?"

Zhang Yue glanced at Wang Shao, this Wang Shao is so ruthless, this confidant will kill as soon as he says he wants to.

Zhang Yue said: "Gao Zunyu is not a fool. How could he give us this chance? He must have written a confession after questioning Yuan Zhongtong, and then sent his confidants to Beijing along the way. , It also caused a grudge in the hearts of the officials, and it also planted the disaster of killing one's life."

Wang Shao nodded, this matter is indeed too risky.

"Don't worry, this Yuan Zhongtong is definitely going to take Qinfeng Road and pass through Qinzhou. This Qinfeng Road Lu Jinglue (Lu Gongbi) is my in-laws, and Qinzhou General Judge Han Shipu (Han Zhongyan) is on the same boat as me. Maybe Yuan Zhongtong was robbed. No, but it’s not a problem if you delay on the road for ten days and half a month.”

"Even in the capital, Gao Zunyu has to go through a process if he wants to sue the imperial court! At that time... it will take a few more days, but it will be dealt with... No, it's better not to wait for the deal to be done, and the good news will be sent to the capital go."

Speaking of this, Zhang Yue showed a vague smile, and Wang Shao was also a little relieved, how to achieve the result he wanted quietly through proper methods?Isn't this what our civil servants are good at?

Speaking of this, Zhang Yue said: "Let Gao Zunyu go through this process slowly, but relying on others is worse than relying on oneself. You must train your soldiers and horses well within two months at the latest. If you don't capture Mu Zheng alive, you will regain the river." State, don't mention anything!"

Wang Shao immediately patted his chest and said: "Please don't worry about it, this matter is on me. If Mu Zheng is not captured alive, Wang will come to see him!"

Zhang Yue said with a smile: "Then I will replace wine with tea, and wish Zichun every success!"

"it is good!"

Wang Shao put down the teacup and said in a bitter voice: "How dare Gao Zunyu do this, I will never live with him in the future."

Zhang Yue couldn't help but frown when he heard that Wang Shao and Gao Zunyu had turned against each other. Before the conquest of Muzheng, if the two fell out and turned against each other, it would be very disadvantageous in the future war.

Zhang Yue said: "Zichun, if I were you, I would definitely not be like this."

Wang Shao said bitterly: "Jing Lue, I really can't swallow this anger. This Gao Zunyu has repeatedly said this, and this breath can't be breathed out. Wang is acting like a human being."

Zhang Yue said: "Can't swallow? Zichun, it's better to be angry than to be angry, and to turn over is worse than to turn over. Whether the revenge is successful or not is harming others and oneself. Instead of letting Gao Zunyu know how powerful you are, it is better to attack Hezhou first and capture alive At the time of Mu Zheng, it would be better if he had to come to congratulate you."

Wang Shao said: "I know that Jing Lue advised me to put the overall situation first...but it would be better for Master Zhi Yuan to advise me on this matter. I, Wang Shao, am not a person who practiced Zen and enlightened Taoism, but a person who draws his sword and sees blood!"

Zhang Yue laughed out loud.

Wang Shao said angrily, "Jing Lue is laughing at me again."

Zhang Yue said with a smile: "I'm not laughing at you but at me, Zichun, I suddenly remembered that when I was studying with Shufa, I have suffered a lot from making things difficult, but I think, instead of making things difficult for people who make things difficult, To make the other party restrain, it is better to forget it and let the other party continue to make things difficult."

"Forget it?" Wang Shao knew that Zhang Yue was not an open-minded person.

Zhang Yue said: "Yeah, forget it, I just kept climbing up, worked hard to let myself study and study, and my horizons were broadened, and I only had my own future in my eyes. When you go up to a higher level, the original Those who make things difficult for you are replaced by those who applaud you."

"What I'm most afraid of is that after so many years, you are still spinning around in the same place, unchanged."

Wang Shao was silent for a moment, Zhang Yue knew that the other party understood what he said, but anyone like them who climbed up from the bottom would understand.

For example, Zhang Yu, the boss who looked down on him at the beginning, will Zhang Yue still get angry with them now?
What happened many years ago has long been let go.

Wouldn't it be nice to use one's own growth and the broadening of one's horizons instead of pretending to be slapped in the face.
