Prime Minister

Chapter 851 Arrival in Beijing
In Luoyang Solitary Paradise.

The courtyard is deep and the vegetation is as new.

Zhang Yue and Guo Lin walked side by side in the garden.

Fan Zuyu and Zhang Yue were friends when they were young, but now they have broken off their friendship, and there is no communication between them.

As for Guo Lin, who was under Sima Guang's sect, if he also opposed the new law, would he also cut off diplomatic relations with him in the future?

And Su Shi, Su Zhe brothers...

Zhang Yue felt that he was not Wang Anshi's character, so in order to implement the new law, he turned against all his old friends.

In the past, I could avoid this issue, but if I go to Beijing this time, my position will gradually become clearer, and I am afraid that I will have no choice at that time.

No matter whether he is poor or rich, Senior Brother Guo always treats him the same, but he does not want to lose a close friend like Senior Brother because of his political views.

Zhang Yue used Fan Zuyu's question to ask himself, so why not ask Guo Lin's thoughts.

After hearing Zhang Yue's words, Guo Lin said silently for a moment: "I don't know either."

Zhang Yue thought that Guo Lin was also against it, but at this time Guo Lin said: "Junior brother, do you still remember when I was studying, I told you about the horse race between Lord Zhao Xiang and the prince?"

Zhang Yue said: "Remember."

Guo Lin showed a gratified smile: "Yes, at that time King Zhao Xiang learned horse racing from Wang Ziqi, how could he not beat Wang Ziqi? King Zhao Xiang asked Wang Ziqi if there were any tricks you didn't know that you didn't teach me."

"Prince Qi said that the teaching is over, but it is not used properly. This horse racing is that the horse is on the cart, and the heart is on the horse, so that the horse can run fast, but the king only wants to catch up with the minister's horse. Focusing on the victory and defeat of the courtiers, but forgetting that people's hearts are in the horses, so this is the loss."

"So junior brother, I think to you, what most people in the world say is right or wrong is not that important, as long as you focus on the matter. No matter what, senior brother is on your side."

Zhang Yue nodded when he heard the words, thinking that the senior brother is the senior brother, and he will always support himself.

That night Zhang Yue stayed in the temple and chatted with Guo Lin.

Luoyang is the stronghold of the old party, and most of the public opinion here is still criticizing the new law.

Guo Lin talked about the disadvantages of the reform as far as he knew, and Zhang Yue listened to them one by one, and the two chatted until midnight.

Zhang Yue looked at the moonlight outside the monk's room.

Zhang Mao let himself know about Yingzhou, Zhang Yue was not surprised, he could foresee it in advance, and even guessed that it was probably Lu Huiqing's good idea.

Lu Huiqing was worried that he would go back to the court to oppose the Shiyi Law, and at the same time, he was also afraid that he would replace him one day, so he used tricks in this matter.

But thinking of Guo Lin's words, my heart is on the horse.

What is heart on the horse?

Don't keep your mind on what competes or consumes you, but on what's most important right now.

The next day Zhang Yue bid farewell to Guo Lin and set off.

Going up the chapter along the way, I sometimes feel that the emperor will suddenly issue an imperial decree to let me go directly to Yingzhou to take up the post.But the sooner Zhang is prepared, the worst is to work in Yingzhou for two or three years and return to Beijing.

But there was no news along the way.

Zhang Yue continued to go to Beijing with light packs, and the side servants gathered together, and Ali Gu's side was also approaching Yongxing Mansion.

At the inn, I met Chen Mu of the same year.Chen Mu is currently in charge of the Beijing West Criminal Prison and is patrolling the area.

Chen Mu told Zhang Yue the news that the Khitan army was suppressing the border, the emperor had urgently summoned Han Jiang, and Chen Shengzhi returned to Beijing.

Zhang Yue asked Chen Mu what strategy he had to defend against the Khitan, and the other party advocated uniting with Korea to deal with the Khitan threat.

Goryeo was originally a vassal state of the Song Dynasty, but Liao sent troops to Goryeo three times. Goryeo asked Song for help, but Song ignored it.

Finally, Goryeo regarded Liao as Zhengshuo.

What Chen Mu meant was to contact Koryo and restrain Liao.

Zhang Yue wrote down these, and he said to Chen Mu that he planned to use this to speak to the emperor to control the Liao Dynasty.

Chen Mu said that he could serve as an envoy to Korea.

On a certain day in May.

In a tea shop, Lu Huiqing is drinking tea here.

Lu Huiqing is low-key and cautious, and doesn't like to ostentatiously. For many years as an official, she likes to drink tea in this tea shop, and never reveals her official status.

There are many scholars in this tea shop, and Lu Huiqing can also hear a lot of new things from them.

Lu Huiqing and Lu Wenqing were having tea in the tea shop, but they heard two scholars chatting at the table next to Lu Huiqing: "I heard that some officials in the court have nicknames recently."

"Oh, which officials are they?"

"These nicknames are all related to people from Fujian and Chu people. The person who gave this nickname was Liu Tun from Chu. But one day when he saw Wang Xianggong, he laughed at his name for Wang Xianggong and said it was Liu Tun. It's worth nothing if you take it apart."

The other party laughed loudly when they clapped their hands, while Lu Huiqing also smiled.

"Liu Tun also sneered back, saying Anshi's two words, 'If you lose a daughter, you will be in a hurry. If you don't have a daughter, you are really jealous. If you are in trouble, you are as good as you are, and if you are wrong on the neck, you should be safe'."

The two laughed, and Lu Huiqing shook her head when she heard the other party ridicule Wang Anshi.

"The person Liu Xuan ridiculed was Cai Que, the censor?"

"Cai Chizheng?"

The other party smiled and said, "Yes, Liu Tun ridiculed Cai Que as an 'upside-down clam'. Why? This clam is produced in Fujian, and it is called 'shell vegetable' backwards. Isn't this the same as 'Que Cai'? "

Another person laughed and said, "This Liu Xuan's mouth is really poisonous."

The other party said with a smile: "There is one more person, and that is Lu Huiqing, who is the new husband."

Lu Wenqing became angry when she heard the words, but Lu Huiqing stretched out her hand to stop it.

Lu Huiqing listened carefully to what the two said about herself, and said to the other party: "Wang Jingliang is the nickname for Mr. Lu. This man likes to criticize the court officials based on his appearance all day long. One day he met Mr. Lu and saw that he was thin and thin. , and dances and dances when speaking, and compares paintings a lot, so it is called "Famaliu".

Maliu is a monkey.It is said that Lu Huiqing is jumping up and down like a monkey.

The two laughed together after they finished talking, and the other said: "Lv Huiqing has only been a Hanlin scholar for two months, and he worshiped the husband. It is really slanderous, and the reputation of this person in the officialdom is not very good."

After speaking, I saw the curtain on the side opened, and saw a middle-aged man stepping out.

He said to the two: "Have you two met Lu Xianggong?"

The two shook their heads together, and the other party said seriously: "Since I have never seen it before, how can it be taken seriously? Let me tell you, this Lu Xianggong is a person who is highly valued by the government. He is a scholar and then a prime minister, entrusting the country and society to him. And This Lu Xianggong has the heart of the world and does not allow him to be in charge of the position, but he has no intention of controlling power. This kind of person can be called a strange man who is respected by the common people and admired by everyone."

The two stood up at the same time and said, "Slip of speech!"

Fang Yan said: "In case my talents are not as good as Lu Xianggong, I admire him very much, but seeing you slandering me like this, I can't bear to tell you bluntly. In the future, don't say these words again, so as not to make you laugh."

"Yes Yes."

After hearing each other's long speech, the two felt bored and left immediately.

And it was Lu Huiqing who advised the two of them just now.

Lu Wenqing was listening and didn't know what to say, but saw Lu Huiqing turned around and said to him: "Then Wang Jingliang likes to comment on ministers and ministers, so you let the Kaifeng mansion take him down and let him go to the prison!"

Lu Wenqing said that she turned around and left.

After Lu Huiqing gave her orders, she saw a copper basin for washing face and hands beside her.He stood in front of the water basin and took a good look at his appearance, and said to his attendants: "Do you think I look like Maliu, Mr.?"

Followers dare not speak.

At this moment, another attendant came in and said, "Master, Zhang Duzhi has arrived in Beijing!"
