Prime Minister

Chapter 726 Congrats
Bianjing City.

Zhangfu.

This Zhangfu is not Zhangyue's Zhangfu, but Zhangyu, Zhang Dun's Zhangfu.

Zhang Yunian is 70 years old, and he usually plays boxing at home, but he can live a good life.

Zhang Yu was at home before, but thanks to Zhang Dun, he was recommended by Xue Xiang, the envoy of the third division, to serve as the commander of the Lianshui Army.

Zhang Yu worked for some days, but was dismissed for incompetence.

This made Zhang Yu lose face and couldn't hold his head up for a while, but Zhang Dun was reused by Wang Anshi as the visit envoy of the two lakes, which made him quite embarrassing.

His wife Yang came frowning, and Zhang Yu asked, "What's wrong?"

Yang said: "I'm not worried about Brother Dun's errand."

Zhang Yu said with a smile: "There is nothing to worry about. Like Li Chengzhi, who previously promoted Brother Dun, visited the two Zhejiang provinces. Isn't Huainan very beautiful?"

Yang said: "It's just too beautiful, don't you know? Li Chengzhi's visit to the two Zhejiang provinces shocked the southeast, even my godmother in Yuezhou heard about it, but is this a good thing?"

"Brother Dun also visited the two lakes, but he is in the same line as Li Chengzhi. I heard that Dongman in Hunan Province was at peace with the imperial court, but Brother Dun wanted to provoke..."

Zhang Yu said with a smile: "I heard that Wang Xianggong also supports this matter. Besides, Brother Yue is allowed to use troops in Shaanxi to make achievements and beat party members, so we are not allowed to put down Dongman in Hunan."

Yang said: "But this is different. It is the government that sent troops to the northwest. Wang Xianggong instructed Brother Yue to do it, but Brother Dun messed up the matter in Hunan himself, and then it was played in the court. I heard that the local Officials don't like to make troubles, and they use weapons rashly, but Brother Dun insists on making things big."

Zhang Yu said with a smile: "What is this? Gui, in the future the lintel of our house will be propped up by him."

Yang said: "It's not just making meritorious deeds, you don't understand Brother Dun's temperament. After all, he and Brother Yue are blood brothers. Seeing that Brother Yue has made great contributions in the Northwest, I am not willing to follow it. .”

"After all, I thought my younger brother was worthless at the beginning, but now I let my younger brother beat me, how can I bear it. At the beginning, I also liked to see Brother Yue succeed, but I feel that the two brothers will not give up if things go on like this. There is a bucket."

Zhang Yu was displeased when he heard this, and said, "Brother Yue...Hmph, I admit that I was mistaken when I saw Brother Yue, but after all, studying is different from being an official."

"Brother Yue is peaceful, or a little weak. He doesn't have the strength and aggressiveness of Brother Dun, so how can he be able to do anything. Brother Dun, look at the temperament that is not afraid of the sky and the earth. , just in line with the wishes of the officials and Wang Xianggong, he will not be inferior to Brother Yue."

Yang sneered and said: "Why do you say Brother Yue is weak-tempered? If I were Brother Yue now, seeing how you looked down on him back then, I would have no choice but to take revenge on you."

Zhang Yu snorted.

"However, brother Yue, he is still polite and respectful to me. Even if he has issued a patent, he will call me second aunt when he sees me, and he has not forgotten his family affection at all. So what if we see you, but Where can I deliberately embarrass you? Let's face it."

"Brother Yue is a sensible person. His heart is like a mirror. He is not weak-tempered, but he doesn't care about it. The general hurried on the road, he didn't chase the rabbit, the general drew his sword, and he didn't cut the fly."

"His eyes have always been focused on his own future. He is the kind of child who is dedicated to making progress. He was like that when he was studying, and he is like this now when he is an official. If he has free time to care about those who offend him, how can he have the status he is today? .You are fine, he is polite to you, but you think he is weak-tempered, where are you going to live at such an old age. "

Zhang Yu's face was cleared by Yang's words, and then he became angry from embarrassment: "No matter what you say, in my eyes, Brother Dun is more promising than Brother Yue, you just let it go and see."

"Let me tell you, I heard that Brother Yue's army went deep into Hezhou, and the way back was cut off. Now Jing Zhongfeng is rumored that the entire army of Zhengxi Army was wiped out..."

Yang's eyes widened and she said: "Okay, the more you live, the less promising you are, and you're actually hoping for something to happen to Brother Yue?"

"He's wiped out, you're happy, aren't you?"

Zhang Yu was a little embarrassed when he heard the words, and hurriedly said: "I was hoping that something would happen to Brother Yue, but I was also worried about it, but you also know that this matter has been spread with discernment, and there is no room for disbelief."

Yang asked in surprise, "Is it true?"

Zhang Yu nodded, and said with a serious face: "It's true, I asked an acquaintance to find out, after all, the two families are also relatives, although Brother Yue didn't regard me as his uncle at all on weekdays, but I But treat him like a nephew."

"Oh, I don't know, I'm really worried for him... If I knew it, I would have advised him that the Northwest is dangerous, so don't... It's my uncle who failed to fulfill his responsibility."

After Zhang Yuman finished speaking, he blamed himself.

Yang Shi was a little anxious when she heard this, but what can she do? Thousands of miles away, the army is hanging outside, not to mention that she is a girl, even the officials and Wang Xianggong are helpless.

Zhang Yu comforted Yang Shi a few words, anyway, Yang Shi was in a bad mood and didn't want to eat, but at this time he heard that Zhang Fang had come.

Zhang Fang is also retired now, but the two families often move around.

After Zhang interviewed Zhang Yu, Zhang Yu invited: "You have eaten, sit down and eat together."

Zhang Yu had a good appetite today, and he ate three bowls of rice in a row.

Zhang Fang saw Zhang Yu's appetite, and said with a smile: "People say that Lian Po was good at eating when he was old, but now you are seventy years old, you will not give up at all."

Both laughed.

Zhang Fang smiled and said, "I didn't come here for dinner today, but I invited you to go to Brother Yue's house to congratulate me."

"congratulate?"

Zhang Yu's face was a little flustered, but he still asked, "What?"

After listening carefully inside, Mrs. Yang came out to welcome her and asked, "What congratulations?"

Zhang Fang smiled and said: "You don't know, I just heard the news that Yue Geer has broken the wooden levy and obtained the panoramic view of Hezhou. .”

Upon hearing this, Yang burst into tears and asked with a smile, "Really?"

Zhang Fang said: "Yes, no matter how you say it, I can't believe it. Brother Yue is now less than 30 years old and has become a direct bachelor. He is the son of our Zhang family with the highest official position since Duke Xun. Who would have imagined such a future. "

"Back then, Duke Xun alone prospered our Zhang family in Pucheng, and now there is a brother named Yue. If he can become a marquis and worship minister in the future, our Zhang family will be a first-rate famous family. Sit on an equal footing!"

Yang said happily: "What kind of famous family, how rare is this? As long as Brother Yue is safe and well."

Zhang Fang nodded, then looked at Zhang Yu and asked, "Why have you been silent? Would you like to accompany me to congratulate later?"

Zhang Yu maintained his expression and said solemnly: "Very good, very good, I am so happy that I can't say a word, let me go with you after eating this bowl of rice!"
