Prime Minister

The boat stopped and went all the way, and Zhang Yue had been gone for several months when he arrived in Bianjing.

Looking at Bianjing after a long absence, Zhang Yue didn't have time to let his wife and children go home with emotion, so he entered the palace alone to hand in the certificate at the gate of the pavilion.

There was a sudden shower in Bianjing, Zhang Yue stood in front of the eaves of the palace, watching the rain dripping down, waiting for the news of the emperor's edict to announce his meeting.

Zhang Yue stood in a purple robe and a long-winged hat at the door of the pavilion, looking at the passing officials.

When the former colleagues saw Zhang Yue, they all bowed from a distance, and they didn't come over to talk hastily. Everyone was very cautious.

Wang Anshi returned to the prime minister, Lu Huiqing was still in Zhongshu, and after Han Jiang resigned as prime minister, Zhang Yue and the two prime ministers were at odds, and his backer was gone. It is really intriguing to return to the court now.

If you can't see where the wind is going, it's better to avoid trouble in public, and to make up for it in private after the event.

Many people speculated that something was going on in Hebei, and the emperor summoned Zhang Yue back to Beijing, probably to deal with Khitan.

At this moment, Wang Lian, Yuan Jiang, Zhang Dun and other Hanlin scholars were walking out of the palace. When they walked out of the pavilion, they met Zhang Yue who was waiting to be summoned.

Several people saluted each other, Wang Lian said with a smile: "Is it beneficial for Duzhi to meet His Majesty Chen after returning to Beijing?"

Zhang Yue said: "It seems that the weather has been smooth all the way, and there is no harm."

Wang Lian couldn't help laughing when he heard the words, Yuan Jiang said: "Du Zhi is more cautious than before."

Yuan Jiang's implication is that it's fine if you were like this back then.

Zhang Yue took a look at Yuan Jiang, the matter of the fire dragon burning the account, the other party's official reinstatement so quickly, it can be seen that it was raised high and gently lowered.

Zhang Yue said: "Brother Hou also returned to the imperial court to become an official? It can be seen that it doesn't matter if you are cautious or not."

At this time, the sky was dark and cloudy, and it looked like it was going to rain again.

Yuan Jiang smiled and said with a smile: "It's going to rain again, so I remembered that there is a big tree in my hometown. I like to read in the shade on weekdays. It's very cool. Even if it rains for a while, it doesn't matter." .”

"But there's nothing I can do when I get to Beijing. Sometimes I hide under the eaves to hide from the rain, so I have to bow my head."

Zhang Yue said: "Brother Hou is right, you see the eaves here are very high, so you don't need to bow your head, do you?"

Yuan Jiang smiled and said, "Yes, yes."

Zhang Dun took a look at Zhang Yue, and then to Yuan Jiang, Wang Lian said: "The official is discussing matters with the lords, it seems that there will be a moment of leisure, why don't I go and sit down?"

Zhang Yue's heart moved, Zhang Dun was reminding himself why the officials didn't summon him for so long?Let yourself not have to worry?
Yuan Jiang, Wang Lian smiled and said, "That's fine, that's fine."

Wang Lian said with a smile: "If you have time after Duzhi is right, let's get together."

Zhang Yue said, "I'm afraid it won't work today."

Wang Lian said with a smile, "Then another day."

Zhang Yue said: "Just have fun, everyone."

Immediately, several people bowed to each other and said goodbye.

Zhang Dun took a step first.

But Wang Lian and Yuan Jiang whispered to each other, Wang Lian said: "The prime minister is absent, so it's not good for those who come back to the court this time."

Yuan Jiang glanced at Wang Lian, and the other party has often provoked herself and Zhang Yue these days.But after the fire dragon burned the account last time, Yuan Jiang and Zhang Yue broke their faces.

This fire was meritorious for Yuan Jiang, but for Zhang Yue.

Yuan Jiang said: "Wu Shu is in the court, how can weng and son-in-law all enter the second mansion, not to mention that Wang Xianggong has never liked Zhang Duzhi."

Yuan Jiang didn't say anything, and he had other arrangements this time.

Wang Lian nodded and said with a smile, "Brother Yuan, I think so."

The position of Zai Zhi is something that Wang Lian has been thinking about. If he is in this position, if he does not enter the Second Mansion in this life, it will be another kind of failure.

Zhang Yue continued to wait at the gate of the pavilion, and half an hour passed, but the emperor still did not send an edict to himself.Of course, Zhang Yue knew that the emperor and his father-in-law were discussing important issues.

If I don't know the news, my mentality will not fluctuate. After all, I have experienced so many storms, and I am not the first day of being an official.

The door officer at the side of the pavilion had already graciously brought a stool to Zhang Yue. Zhang Yue stood up after sitting for a while. He wanted to keep himself in a posture ready to fight at any time.

At this time the rain fell again.

Zhang Yue got a little annoyed and sat down again.

At this time, several purple canopies appeared under the eaves of the palace in the distance, and Zhang Yuedang even got up from the chair.

More than a dozen servants held several large purple umbrellas, under which Wang Anshi, Lu Huiqing, and Wang Gui stepped down.

They also saw Zhang Yue standing and waiting at the door of the pavilion.

Lu Huiqing squinted her eyes and peeked at Wang Anshi's face, while Wang Anshi was a little absent-minded and continued to walk down the steps.

In Lu Huiqing's heart, she had an unspoken premonition.

He always thought this premonition was ridiculous, but it was always lingering in his heart.

But there is one thing he can be sure of, Zhang Yue's return to court this time is not a good one for Lu Huiqing.

But I was able to force you Zhang Yue to go out back then, and now I can make it a second time.

"Meet Wang Xianggong, Lu Dacan, Wang Dacan!"

Zhang Yuelang said loudly.

Wang Anshi, who had been absent-minded all this time, reacted and glanced at Zhang Yue and said, "Yes, save him!"

Zhang Yue took a step forward and said, "It's a lower official."

Wang Anshi nodded and said: "The official is waiting for you in the hall, go!"

This seemingly innocuous remark sounded like a thunderbolt in Lu Huiqing's heart.

He glanced at Wang Anshi, and then at Zhang Yue, his complexion turned extremely pale in an instant, and the hands under the sleeves were already clenched so tightly that they turned white.

"Thank you, sir!"

Zhang Yue saluted Wang Gui again, and Wang Gui looked at Zhang Yue with a smile. Although the old man was known for having no attitude and no opinion in court, he could still see the meaning of encouraging Zhang Yue with a smile.

Among the three, only Zhang Yue and Lu Huiqing had no eye contact at all from the beginning to the end.

Wang Anshi nodded and walked past Zhang Yue.

And Lu Huiqing passed by Zhang Yue, paused for a moment and looked sideways, Zhang Yue also raised his head.

Under the door of the pavilion, the two purple-robed officials looked at each other for a moment. The difference between the two was more than ten years old, and they sparked like two sharp knives, one new and one old.

Sparks splashed for a moment, and the eyes of both sides did not back down.

But under the eyes of everyone, a smile appeared on Lu Huiqing's face immediately, and Zhang Yue also put on a smile.

This kind of aggressive smile, even for those who don't know the relationship between Zhang and Lu, it feels like the sky is freezing all of a sudden.

Both of them were very imposing, and neither gave an inch. When Wang Anshi looked over, the two nodded slightly.

Lu Huiqing strode past Zhang Yue.

A moment later, two servants in Zhu Yi, one with an umbrella and the other with a lantern, walked up to Zhang Yue and said, "Scholar Zhang, Your Majesty will see you in the hall!"

Zhang Yue nodded and shook his robes and went to the hall.

In the hall, the officials in dragon robes read a memorial, which was written by the officials to impeach Zhang Yue.

As for who ordered the official, he also knew, he said angrily: "Since the appearance of the chapter, the people of Fujian in the past dynasties have entered the prime minister, and they are all pragmatic and not in vain. It is ten times stronger than those ministers who are full of ignorance."
