Prime Minister

Chapter 862
Zhangfu congratulatory guests come.

Zhang Yue sat in the inner hall and answered them one by one, and He Ke led them into the hall one by one to speak.

Some of these visitors were purely congratulatory, and some showed closeness. After all, Zhang Yue is in that position now, and there are many things that don't necessarily require help, but bad things are still easy.

The rest are entrusted to do things and take care of their children.

On weekdays, there may only be a [-]% chance of coming to the door to seek opportunities, but today it is [-]%.

To be honest, Zhang Yue is sometimes tired of dealing with it, but he must get things done properly, and it is not an easy matter to collect and release favor debts.

Today, my two uncles, Wu Anshi and Wu Anchi also came to visit.One must know that Wu Anshi is a rare visitor, and rarely visits her home.

"Congratulations to my brother-in-law, Yingzhou, on his ascension to immortality!"

Now Wu Anshi was also smiling, congratulating Zhang Yue on his ascension to the Immortal Jade Hall, and also sent a picture of the Eighteenth Scholars ascending to Yingzhou.Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui are the first of the Eighteen Scholars, and there is no need to mention the metaphorical meaning of them.

As the saying goes, you will meet the most bad people when you are down the mountain, but when you go up the mountain and climb the peak, you will see good people everywhere.

Zhang Yue looked at the picture sent by Wu Anshi and said, "It's not until today that you let go of your previous superior attitude, but to be honest, I still like your rebellious appearance back then.

Zhang Yue didn't care too much, but said: "At the beginning, a certain article in Zhang was not well-known, thanks to Mr. Da Lang's appreciation, he allowed me to borrow books in the Wu family library, and even brought me to Beijing."

It was in the Wu Family Bookstore that Zhang Yue met Shi Qi Niang, and they went to Beijing together again, and a secret love developed on the way.This also made Zhang Yue, who has been a man for two lifetimes, realize for the first time that I also have a girl who likes me.

Wu Anshi was very happy when he heard the words, while Wu Anchi tugged at his sleeves.

Zhang Yue saw Wu Anchi's actions, and asked, "What can I say, brother?"

Wu Anchi said, "Wangzhi entrusted me to congratulate Duzhi."

Hearing that it was Lu Jia who asked the tape, Zhang Yue immediately understood.Lu Jiawen betrayed the wall of the Lu family's gate, and Zhang Yue, who was facing the Lu family's in-laws, could not come to the door to congratulate him, otherwise he would be beaten out by Zhang Zhi.

But the meaning of Lu Jia's question was also very clear, he showed his favor to himself, and hoped that after he entered the court, he would show mercy to him in the affairs of the Shiyi Division.

Zhang Yue said: "Uncle, thank you for me. I will discuss with my father-in-law, Lu Xianggong, about the Shiyi Division in the future."

Wu Anshi, Wu Anchi got an affirmative answer and left immediately satisfied.

Wu Anshi and Wu Anchi had just left when Zhang Zhi led Cai Que to the inner hall.

As soon as Cai Que met, he joked: "In the past, Cai who I met in the past would go directly to the room, so I am afraid that I will have to queue up to see him in the future."

Zhang Yue laughed and said, "Didn't senior brother kill me by saying that?"

Cai Que said with a smile: "Du Zhi, I am very emotional. I really understand today what is 'Tian Shelang in the morning and Tianzitang in the evening'."

"This is why you and I are scholars today, but tomorrow we will fly into the sky when we meet the opportunity. People never know where the next step is. When we first met in Taixue, I never expected that you would have the glory you have today."

Yes.

Hearing the noise of the guests outside, Zhang Yue felt emotional from the bottom of his heart, recalling the days when he and Cai Que were studying in Taixue.

Back then, with a few pennies in my pocket, I had to live on a budget, and then study in a frugal way. I never thought that I would have a living room of eight today.

As soon as he thought about it, Zhang Yue smiled and said, "Brother, if you have anything to say, you can just say it directly, you and I don't have to go around in circles."

Cai Que nodded, suppressed his smile and asked, "I heard that you went to see Wang Xianggong?"

Zhang Yue thought that Cai was really well informed: "Exactly."

Cai Zhengzheng asked sincerely, "Are you really planning to help Han Xianggong and Lu Jifu fight against each other when you come back to court this time?"

Zhang Yue said: "I didn't say a word, but the brother has already asked, so can Lu Jifu rest assured?"

Cai Que said solemnly: "Duzhi, I can tell you something that is sure. Even though Han Xianggong is now Zhao Wenxiang, he is not Lu Jifu's opponent."

Zhang Yue didn't know from the bottom of his heart that Lu Huiqing was not only powerful, but more importantly, behind him was the foundation of the New Party.Before Wang Anshi left the field, he was the manipulator of the reform, and after he stepped down, he even took over the whole process.

Then Cai Que chatted with him about the names of several people, all of whom were his confidants.

Zhang Yue knew what Cai Que meant, and he suggested that the two of them should not attach to Lu or Han, and go their own way.Cai really wants to protect the people, and he is an imperial party with a clear card, but this road will be attacked by a group of scholar-bureaucrats.

When the history of the Song Dynasty is compiled in the future, Cai can be ranked first in the list of traitors. Of course, he has an extreme side, but more importantly, he is an imperial party, so he even impeached Wang Anshi and Han Zhen. You must know that Wang Anshi recommended him, Han Zhen His elder brother, Han Wei, was also recommended by Han Jiang.

Except for the emperor, Cai can indeed disown his six relatives.

But Zhang Yue believes that you can be loyal to the emperor, but you can't have a bottom line to the emperor. This is the difference between him and Cai Que.

……

While talking, Wen Zhang went straight in and said, "Third Uncle, Lu Xianggong is here."

Cai Que showed an expression of disbelief, just now he persuaded Zhang Yue that Lu Huiqing must be careful, and in a blink of an eye he came to congratulate Zhang Yue.

Zhang Yue's expression changed when he heard the words. The promotion of an official was only a low-level official's visit to a high-ranking official. How could a high-level official pay a visit to a low-level official.

Not to mention that Lu Huiqing is a prime minister, even Han Wei, Zeng Bu, Yuan Jiang, and Deng Wan, who are at the same level as Zhang Yue, have no reason to come to congratulate him in person.

Zhang Zhi said: "Lu Xianggong sent someone to say that he just happened to pass by here, so he stopped by to pay his respects."

Drop in?I think highly of you, and the whole Bianjing city goes along with you, but I look down on you, even if I live in the opposite direction, I don’t go along with you.

Zhang Yue said without hesitation: "Quickly open the middle door to welcome you!"

Because Lu Huiqing came in person, Zhang Yue, Zhang Shi, and Zhang Zhi all went to the gate to meet them in person.

Zhang Yue watched Lu Huiqing, who was dressed in purple, calmly get out of the carriage from outside the door, raised his hands to congratulate himself, and he immediately stepped down to greet him.

The guests who came to Zhangfu to congratulate were also surprised to see Lu Huiqing's move.

It was said that Zhang Lu was not harmonious with the wind in Beijing, but today Zhang Yue was promoted to a Bachelor of Ming Palace and a Bachelor of Hanlin, but Lu Huiqing came to congratulate him in person. It can be seen that this statement is completely false.

And Zhang Yue also knew that Lu Huiqing's move had ulterior motives, but which official was promoted to a Hanlin bachelor, and a prime minister came to congratulate him?

Lu Huiqing's move can be said to have given him enough face, to be precise, he has given enough face to the Hanlin Bachelor and Duanming Palace Bachelor.

For those who want to achieve great things, face is precisely the least important thing.However, the less face-conscious people are, the more face-saving they are.

Success really means persevering and being shameless... At this moment, Zhang Yue and Lu Huiqing seem to be chatting and laughing with each other for many years.

Having said that, the two have also been friends for more than ten years.

"During this time, Yutang is soaring to the sky, Lu Mou is really happy for you!"

Zhang Yue smiled, you definitely don't think so in your heart.

Lu Huiqing looked up at Zhang Yue's mansion, and said to Zhang Yue with emotion: "These days, I often think of the time when I met Du Zhi for the first time in Ouyang Gong, and when I think of what happened a few years ago, I feel very regretful."

Zhang Yue remembered that when Ouyang Xiu opposed the political reform before, you, Lu Huiqing, followed Wang Anshi, and you were very bad for other people's father and son.

Zhang Yue said: "The Great Candidate implemented reforms for the sake of the country. In the final analysis, it is just a dispute over state affairs."

Lu Huiqing held Zhang Yue's hand and said, "Among all the courts, only Du Zhi knows me."

This scene seemed extremely harmonious, and then Lu Huiqing said a few words to Zhang Shi and Zhang Zhi.

The three immediately invited Lu Huiqing in for tea.

Lu Huiqing nodded and entered the mansion first, Zhang Yue was half a step behind, and the congratulatory guests stood on the left and right to greet each other.Lu Huiqing went in and took a sip of tea, then said she had something to say and left.

Not a moment after Lu Huiqing left, outsiders reported to the Hanlin scholars, and Zeng Bu, the envoy of the Third Division of Quan, came to congratulate him.

Zhang Yue was promoted to a Hanlin bachelor. As a result, a Hanlin bachelor and the third envoy, and a prime minister came to visit.

How can this be so ordinary that it can be spoken.

The guests present were all quite shocked. Zhang Yue is now promoted to Hanlin Bachelor, so what if he goes a step further in the future?

Zhang Yue greeted Zeng Bu in person.

Zeng Bu and himself are both Hanlin scholars, but Zhang Yue has no real power except writing imperial edicts to the emperor and participating in the affairs of the Privy Council. .

Therefore, the weight of Zeng Bu's visit is no less than that of Lu Huiqing.

Zeng Bu's face was solemn, Zhang Yue took advantage of the opportunity to know that the other party had something to say to him, so he invited him to the inner hall.

Zhang Yue asked, "Brother Zigu, are you all right?"

When Zeng Bu heard Zhang Yue mentioning Zeng Gong, he smiled and said: "My brother is an official in Qizhou. Everything is fine. If my brother is here today, it will look like Duanming won the championship in the past. Today is Aofeng's summit again. He must be very happy!"

Zhang Yue sighed: "After Ouyang Gong passed away, the only teacher in the world is Brother Ling. Zixuan, you and I are not outsiders, so you can speak up if you have anything to say."

Zeng preached: "I heard from Brother Pingfu that he came to the door the day before yesterday to ask for Zheng Jiefu, Mingbao?"

Zhang Yue said: "Indeed."

Zeng preached: "Duanming is truthful, the Market Change Law is indeed not a good law, but Lu Jifu encouraged the county governors all over the world to praise the new law, and asked to implement the Market Change Law in the whole country. This matter makes me very embarrassed now."

"Zeng hopes that Duan Ming can support Zeng in the matter of market change and law. In this matter, Zeng and Lu Jifu are either you or me, and Duan Ming's attitude is very important to the government, so Zeng begged Duanming help."

Zhang Yue said: "Don't worry, Zixuan, I will discuss this matter with several ministers and come up with a plan."

Zeng Bu laughed and said, "I'm at ease with Duan Ming's words."

Speaking of this, Zeng preached: "Yes, I heard rumors from the academy that some bachelors were dissatisfied with Duanming worshiping the bachelors."

Zhang Yue smiled, he had expected this matter a long time ago, his return to court as a Duanming Palace Bachelor would automatically drop the rank of other Hanlin Bachelors by one place.

Zhang Yue said: "The affairs of the court are waiting to be done. There is no time to care about these Zhangs, but I still thank Zixuan for his kindness."

Zeng Bu immediately got up and said goodbye.

A few moments after Zeng Bu left, others reported that the Hanlin scholar had ordered Han Wei to come to congratulate him.

As soon as the news came out, it was another sensation.

A prime minister and two Hanlin scholars came to congratulate him. It was a worthwhile trip to witness this scene.
