Officials give fish as a gift?
Go home and cook it?
Does that mean you can leave? Is this how your prelude ends?
Zhang Yue couldn't help but look confused. He came in really worried and left in a daze.
Is it the fish that's wrong, or am I wrong?
Didn’t the dragon fart get a good shot?
However, Zhang Yue picked up the slippery and jumping fish without hesitation, and said regardless of soiling his official robe: "I accept the order."
After saying this, Zhang Yuebei took three steps back facing the officials and was about to turn around and leave.
The official looked at Zhang Yue's bewildered look and laughed loudly: "Come back. Put the fish in the bucket first."
Zhang Yue put the fish into the bucket, but the fish jumped into the bucket with a pop and almost slapped Zhang Yue.
Seeing this, the official was overjoyed again. He pressed his fishing rod and said, "I haven't been so happy for a long time."
Zhang Yue was so embarrassed by a fish that he forgot about the etiquette of a monarch and his ministers and blurted out, "Is there anything unhappy about your majesty?"
The official was stunned for a moment and then said: "Of course, ordinary people take pleasure in the desire of food and drink. What pleasure does the desire of food and food give me?"
"For example, a beggar is happy if he has an eaves to shelter from the rain, but what happiness does it bring to me if I have three thousand houses in a house?"
Zhang Yue said: "I understand, Your Majesty is only happy at home."
The official was noncommittal after hearing this, and then raised the fishing rod in his hand.
Zhang Yue stood by silently.
"No need to be formal, just fish with me."
The official said calmly.
Zhang Yue thought to himself that indeed the officials were as tolerant as the rumors, unlike Han Qi who was so judgmental all day long.
However, there is a saying that the bigger the official is, the more lenient he is. In fact, this is not the case.
It's just that you are not within the scope of his temper.
In Fubi and Han Qi's eyes, the official family was definitely not like this.
Zhang Yue picked up the fishing rod and looked like he was sitting upright, but his thoughts wandered a little.
The official looked at the pool and said in a deep voice: "Zhang Heng, the magistrate of Ruzhou, is Zhang Dun's nephew. Is that your nephew too?"
Zhang Yue's heart trembled, and he said respectfully: "This is indeed recorded in the genealogy."
The official said: "Zhang Heng is the number one scholar in Jiayou's second year. He is very talented, but his official career is difficult. Why can you do that?"
Zhang Yue said: "It's because he doesn't live up to his standards, so he is shunned by others."
The official looked at Zhang Yue happily and said: "You are an honest man, and I appreciate a minister who knows everything. It is really a pity for your nephew Zhang Heng. I know that he has been wronged, but I still want to let him go."
Zhang Yue said: "Your majesty's words are enough for my nephew. I heard that my heart was kind, and I have not regretted it even after nine deaths. All this is to repay your majesty's kindness in knowing you."
The official said: "Since I was selected as the number one scholar from a poor family, except for Feng Jing, everyone else's career has been mediocre. Do you know why?"
Zhang Yue hesitated slightly, then said: "I am homesick and everything is going well. Feng Xueshi's family must have a good wife, and the family affairs are harmonious, so I can think of you and serve the country."
The official laughed when he heard this: "Okay, what a good family to have a good wife."
"Have you ever fished in the river?"
Zhang Yue said: "There is a clear stream in front of my hometown. I used to fish by the stream when I was young."
"But Nanpu Creek?"
Zhang Yue was stunned and said: "Your Majesty's Holy Might, all the world is connected to your heart."
The official smiled and said: "Don't rush to praise me. This stream was told to me by Duke Xi back then. At that time, I was sitting beside the imperial pond, just like you and me, sitting fishing. Nanpu River, sent to you, Nanpu, is a good name."
Zhang Yue said quickly: "I am scared."
The official said: "It's okay. When you get older, it's easy to think of old friends. Back then, Duke Xi told me about the difference between the fish in the imperial pond and the fish in the rivers and lakes. Please tell me."
Zhang Yue said: "I thought that the fish in this pond are fat and big, and your mouth will be full of oil when you eat them. The fish in the rivers and lakes are thin and meatless but strong, so it is best to use them to make a pot of fish soup."
The officials were very happy when they heard this.
Zhang Yuesheng said with a smile: "My words are vulgar, which makes Your Majesty laugh."
The official smiled and said: "You are doing your best to serve the king, which is very good. I also want to ask Mr. Xun? There are many fish in the rivers and lakes of Xun Gongdao, but there are few fish in the ponds, but the fish in the rivers and lakes are harder to catch than the fish in the ponds. ."
Zhang Yue pondered what the official said.
The official said: "Let's get back to the subject. You and Mr. Xi both come from poor families. From a poor family to reach this stage, I don't need to say more about your talents."
"I summoned you today to take a look at you. I already know a little bit about you."
Zhang Yue felt a little stiff.
"I have one last question: Is it possible to suppress mergers and exploit a hole in your policy? This is Qin's system."
Zhang Yue said: "Reporting to your Majesty, it is possible but difficult to do."
"Tell me carefully."
Zhang Yue said: "Since I am your Majesty's counselor, I use the metaphor of fishing. The reason why the fish in the imperial pond don't bite the hook is because the waiters in the imperial garden usually feed them too much."
"As for why the fish in the rivers and lakes don't bite the hook, it's because the bait is delicious, but if you eat it, you will die, so you cherish your life."
"Therefore, if annexation is not suppressed, ordinary people will have to fight tooth and nail to survive. If they don't get a chance, the merchants and powerful families will not contribute."
When the official heard this, he showed a curious expression and said, "That's insightful. I didn't misjudge the person."
Having said this, the official stood up and Zhang Yue helped him hurriedly.
The official stood up with some difficulty and then said to Zhang Yue: "Reform is possible but difficult. If the country is fine, why use such harsh methods, but now it seems to be the only way."
"I am getting old, and I am no longer able to do what I want. In fact, I may not have been able to do it even back then. You are still young. Although you will not be able to rule as a minister for a long time, I am happy that..."
Zhang Yue said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, if you live for ten thousand years, you will be able to reign forever."
The official smiled and said to the chamberlain serving behind him: "Is Han Qi here?"
The chamberlain said: "I am waiting for the order in the corridor."
"Let him in."
The official's eyes became a little troubled and he said to Zhang Yue: "You can help me walk a few steps by the pool."
Zhang Yue couldn't help being flattered when he heard this. He helped the emperor walk a few steps and saw Han Qi leading the two ministers to the imperial garden.
They were all shocked when they saw Zhang Yue walking around the imperial pond with his family on his back, and then they all went to the pond to pay homage.
The official said to Han Qi and others: "Zhang Yue talked with me about fishing, and I learned something."
Everyone thought that Zhang Yue had been chatting with the emperor about fishing for almost half an hour.
The official asked: "Has the imperial edict for canonization been drawn up?"
"I have reported back to Your Majesty that it has been decided. Zhang Yue and Su Shi will be ranked third grade, and Su Zhe will be ranked fourth grade."
The official said: "Very good, Zhang Yue, I remember that you are related, right?"
Zhang Yue thought to himself, you are really a gossip among officials.
Han Qi said: "Your Majesty is related to Wu Chong, the current transfer envoy of Huainan Road."
The official said: "I know, this matter has been spread in Beijing. I heard that Wu Chong intended to marry him with a daughter, but Zhang Yue said that he could not get married unless he was a Jinshi. Why is the daughter of the Wu family ugly? She is not worthy enough. you?"
As soon as the official said this, Han Qi and other ministers laughed.
Zhang Yue almost fell to the ground, "Guan, please don't harm me. It will be terrible if this word gets out."
Zhang Yue could not argue at this moment: "Reporting to Your Majesty, I am from a poor family and it is difficult for me to..."
The official said: "As the saying goes, after the big one, you have the small one. You have passed the Jinshi and then the junior college. But no matter what course you take, don't delay the years of other women's women because of temporary poverty."
"It's difficult to keep everything in mind, but I've made the decision for you. I'll give you three hundred thousand dollars to marry a Wu family girl in a glorious way."
