Prime Minister

Chapter 863

At night, when the guests dispersed, Zhang Mansion and the nearby lanes returned to calm.

The Shengxiao faded away, and the wine cup fell down, as if the lively feast just now was still in front of our eyes.

The guests dispersed, Zhang's servants were tidying up and cleaning, Mrs. Yu went back to rest early in her old age, while Mrs. Lu was looking inside and outside.

And Seventeen Niang ordered the envoy to prepare a bathtub for Zhang Yue, and let him take a bath before going to bed to rest.

After Zhang Yue entertained the guests, he took off his somewhat sour official clothes, and lay comfortably in the bathtub.

As the steam rose from the bathtub, the exhaustion all over his body was slowly relieved. At this moment, Zhang Yuefang felt that he had the right to control his own time.

But he still has a lot of things to do. At this moment, feeling the slightly hot bath water, he rubbed his brows and thought about taking up his new job tomorrow.

The errands of Hanlin bachelors are to draft edicts for the emperor, and to participate in meetings and provide opinions for the emperor's decision-making.

This job is hard to say, but in fact all officials in the world are the same, and the real technical problems of being an official are all solved by the officials.

Moreover, according to the Song Dynasty's method of building houses on top of each other, it is difficult for officials with real talents to show their talents.If you really want to lie down, if you change to a mediocre person to do the job of a Hanlin scholar, it may not be too bad.

But Zhang Yue didn't want to lie flat, so he still had to do practical things.Then it is necessary to enrich the experience of Hanlin Bachelor.

Officials in the Song Dynasty paid great attention to the practical experience of officials. If a Hanlin scholar did not hold other official positions and was directly promoted to be a minister, he would be ridiculed as a ruler in power.

The implication is to govern without knowing anything except writing articles to earn royalties.

The minor part-time Hanlin bachelors have Taichang Temple and Yintai Division, while the older ones are the three division envoys, who know Kaifeng Mansion.Zhang Yue has now been promoted from a military envoy to a Hanlin bachelor, which is enough in terms of merit.

Pingxihe Road is military merit, not civil governance experience, so it is a shortcoming in terms of qualifications.After all, apart from being sentenced to the Guozijian, he has no real experience as a top executive.

Just thinking of this, the maid at home asked if I needed to add some hot water.

Zhang Yue said no, he got up from the bathtub and put on his clothes. After being an official for so many years, he is still not used to being served by servants, so he did many things by himself.

After getting dressed neatly, Zhang Yue suddenly felt refreshed. When he walked to the bedroom, he saw Shi Qi Niang was reclining on the bed, reading a book against the pillow, with half of her white arms exposed from her sleeves.

Looking at Shi Qiniang, Zhang Yue suddenly remembered the scene where the two met in Wu's Bookstore.

After the two got married, Shi Qi Niang still couldn't put down the book. She read very complicated books, and the family affairs were handled in an orderly manner without much effort, and she was able to make money well.

Zhang Yue looked up and down the bedroom of him and Shi Qiniang. The utensils inside were half old and not new, but they were arranged in an orderly manner.Scholar-bureaucrat families who started their careers as scholars hate extravagance and extravagance.Seventeen Niang has done a good job in this regard.

Not only Seventeen Niang, but none of the Wu family women I have come into contact with is an idler.

I am really lucky to be able to marry Shi Qiniang, and of course the other party also has vision.And with the help of the Yue family on your official career, others dare not treat you as a child from a poor family and look down on you, unlike Zhang Heng and Liu Ji, who are both champions but their official career has not been smooth.

Zhang Yue was worried that Shi Qiniang would not be used to her life when she married him. Although he said that he would marry a chicken like a chicken and marry a dog like a dog, fortunately, he has been promoted very quickly in recent years.

Zhang Yue went to sit down in front of the little house before the collapse, Seventeen Niang put the book flat on her chest and smiled sweetly: "Are the officials all busy?"

Zhang Yue nodded and was about to say some love words, Seventeen Niang said: "Officer, I see that Lu Xianggong, Zeng Jixiang, and Han Hanchang are all here today. Could it be that there is something to bother you?"

Zhang Yue held Shi Qi Niang's hand and said, "Yes, it's a matter of the city's laws and regulations. Right now, there are factional conflicts in the court. In the past, I could keep silent, but now I can't avoid it."

After a pause, Zhang Yue said: "But lady, don't worry, I will carefully ask Mr. Zhaowen and Lao Taishan what they mean. Think about it, if it wasn't for Lao Taishan's introduction, how would I have the chance to know Mr. Zhaowen?"

The implication of Zhang Yue's words is very clear, I was supported by my father-in-law and Han Jiang today, and I will never know anyone with the support of the emperor like Cai Que.

Seventeen Niang said: "I like what the official said, but I married the official because he has ambitions and can make up his mind. Now the official is also ranked in the third rank. Why, you should have your own strategy to let the world know, and let the officials and officials know the bones and strength of the officials!"

Shi Qiniang said this to her heart, and Zhang Yue sincerely lamented that such a wife could not ask for more.

At this time, it began to rain lightly outside the window, fluffily hitting the banana leaves outside the window.

The husband and wife were talking, and Zhang Yue slowly embraced Seventeen Niang's waist.The sense of relaxation after bathing and the beautiful woman in his arms at this moment made Zhang Yue's body feel healthy at this moment.

Zhang Yue sniffed the fragrance of Seventeen Niang's hair, and jokingly blew on her neck, which made the other party's delicate body tremble and couldn't help laughing.

Seeing Shi Qi Niang's cheeks flushed, Zhang Yue couldn't help but teased and said: "The night is deep, it's time for Mrs. Hou Fu to rest."

Seventeen Niang felt both angry and funny and said angrily, "Who is Madam Hou's Mansion?"

At this moment, Zhang Yue had already untied her belt calmly and slipped his hand in. Here, Zhang Yue asked, "What does Mrs. Hou Fu call me? You are not allowed to call me an official."

After a while, Seventeen Niang couldn't help calling out, and looked at Zhang Yue behind her, frowning, and said softly.

"Zhang Lang!"

……

The next day, Zhang Yue officially took up his new post, and first went to the palace to thank the officials.

After a while, the emissary of the pavilion sent Zhang Yue the shift of the combined shift.

The so-called miscellaneous pressure is regardless of the order of the paper officials, military officials, internal servants, and clan officials when they stand on duty outside the palace.The imperial court will calculate a very complicated ranking according to your dispatch, official position, and job title.

In short, the preface outside the hall reflects the high and low status of an official.Don't think it's unimportant. A lot of people have been fighting for officials for a lifetime. Isn't it that I can be on top of you?

In the preface class outside the hall, the Hanlin bachelor class is under the assistant minister of Zhuxing, and higher than that of Gishizhong and left and right advising doctors.

For example, when Zhang Yue was not in the Imperial Academy, he met Zeng Bu when he was an admonishing doctor. Although Zeng Bu was only a householder, because of his status as a Hanlin bachelor, the other party's shift had to be ahead of him.

But now Zeng Bu was about to stand under him.It's even more different with Duanmingdian Bachelor.

In the early Song Dynasty, the pressure of scholars in Duanming Palace was still higher than that of deputy envoys.

For example, Zhao Pu was promoted from a direct bachelor of the Privy Council to a deputy envoy of the Privy Council. At the same time, Lu Yuqing was a bachelor of Duanming Palace and knew Kaifeng Mansion.

Because Lu Yuqing was ranked above Zhao Pu, when Zhao Zhi recommended the two as prime ministers, Lu Yuqing was also ranked above Zhao Pu.Later, the status of Duanmingdian's bachelor declined, and he was ranked under the deputy envoy of the Privy Council.

Therefore, from the miscellaneous classes given by the cabinet officials, Zhang Yue's class is second only to Cai Ting, the deputy envoy of the Privy Council.

The real Zai holds the No.1 seat below.
