As the saying goes, a person's name is like the shadow of a tree.
After hearing that Zhang Yue was in the third grade of Zhike, the threshold of his house was crossed the next day. Some came to congratulate me, some asked for help from above, and some came to ask for a hug.
Even relationships that cannot be established with eight poles can be forced to have a relationship with you.
Zhang Yue couldn't help but express that I was convinced too.
Such a person is naturally not very annoying, but even so, you still have to see what you need to see, and you still have to say some things that go against your will.
Otherwise, once he became rich, Zhang San would no longer recognize anyone. Zhang Yue said that he was very innocent and that he was not truly rich yet, but no one could afford this.
However, thanks to Zhang Shi, the two brothers Zhang Yue and Zhang Yue had just arrived in Bianjing and did not have many connections. There were not many such people.
To change his hometown in Pucheng, no, Zhang Shi has not recovered 30% of the money he lent at the beginning, and his own shop is still losing money.
Zhang Yue also understands his elder brother a little, and there is some face that he really can't erase. Sometimes it’s not that you are ungrateful, but in the eyes of others your kind deeds become compulsive, and that changes the situation.
In the past, you had a meal at his house, but today, when people see that you have become prosperous, they come to take away one or even ten strings. No one can resist it.
As for getting money, it’s pretty good, but what if I need to do things or find a job in the future? Are you trying to bully others?
This is also a very helpless place for someone born in the Han family.
Zhang Yue saw a guest among the visitors who he had never thought of.
"Congratulations on saving it!"
Zhang Yue stepped forward and saluted: "Thank you, brother Zhifu."
That's right, the person who came was none other than Zhang Kai.
After celebrating his birthday at Zhang Yu's house that day, Zhang Kai came to Zhang Yue's house for the first time. Last time I won the top prize, I didn't see it. I heard that he left a post outside the door and left.
Zhang Kai's father, Zhang Pin, had served as a transshipment envoy to Guangxi, but he had already been born. His uncle Zhang Di had been dead for many years.
The Zhang family moved to Suzhou and belonged to his and Zhang Yu's branches. He and Zhang Dun were usually the closest.
Needless to say, Zhang Dun is a good person among men. In the second year of Jiayou's reign, he passed the Jinshi examination and refused to leave. In the fourth year of Jiayou's reign, he became the fifth person to pass the Jinshi examination and is now the magistrate of Shangluo County.
Zhang Kai and Zhang Dun were very friendly, and they knew that Zhang Dun was unhappy because of what happened to his older brother and younger brother when they were not adopted. So that day at the birthday banquet, Zhang Kai wanted to teach Zhang Yue a lesson as a clan brother and stand up for Zhang Dun.
As a result, after Zhang Kai finished teaching, he saw that Zhang Yue got second place in the provincial examination.
Later, Zhang Yue won the first prize, and Zhang Kai became even more disgraced. The two of them were still brothers who had not left the fifth server, so they sent the post and left in a hurry to save the family's reputation.
I thought that such a humiliating incident would only happen once, but I didn't know that Zhang Yue got the imperial title again and was promoted to the third class.
Zhang Kai's father, Zhang Fang, was a Jinshi during the Qingli period. Now Fang was transferred to Beijing as the deputy guest envoy of the Ministry of Rites. He asked Zhang Fang to come to congratulate his son, but he saw that his son was reluctant to go. When he asked Fang carefully about the reason, he couldn't help but get angry. .
It is true that Zhang Dun is a dragon and a phoenix among men, but his younger brother is obviously even more of a monster.
There is a saying that it is difficult for an upright official to intervene in household affairs. How can you meddle so hastily in other people's household affairs? You shouldn't do this for the sake of brotherhood.
So Zhang Fang took Zhang Kai and came to the door in person.
Zhang Fang and Zhang Shi were talking, but Zhang Kai felt a little unnatural when he saw Zhang Yue again.
Zhang Yue smiled and said nothing, and ignored him to talk to others. Zhang Yue just froze there, not knowing what to say for a moment, feeling a little embarrassed.
Zhang Fang came with his brother Zhang Shi at this time. Zhang Fang said to Zhang Shi: "Although the dog is not a weapon, he is the most filial. When my father was the transshipment envoy to Guangxi, he exposed the illegal things of the Yizhou prefect. The Yizhou prefect But they slandered me and accused me of being punished, so I rebelled against my title. At that time, I was imprisoned in Wei County. When Quanzi found out about this, he went to Wei County to defend me in person, regardless of going to Beijing to take the exam."
Zhang Shi heard this and praised: "You are really the most filial person."
Zhang Kai bowed and said, "Brother Clan is so flattering that I don't dare to accept it."
Zhang Fang said: "Although Quanzi is called a Yin official, he is determined to pass the Jinshi examination himself. I will ask Duo Duo to give me guidance in the future."
Zhang Yue said with a smile: "My uncle is too polite, but I don't dare to take it seriously. How dare I give advice on my brother's knowledge?"
As he spoke, Zhang Yue glanced at Zhang Kai.
Zhang Kai is similar in age to Zhang Shi.
However, due to Zhang Dexiang's request, Yin Guan was selected as the general's supervisor (the 42nd rank of Beijing officials). After entering the capital, he passed the Yin official examination of the Ministry of Personnel and was awarded the post of Sihu of Mengzhou to join the army.
It is not easy to pass the official examination. Although Wu Anshi also passed the official examination, he has not passed the official examination so far. If you fail the official examination, the court will not send you any assignments, and you will have to rely on the salary officer to get a meager salary.
Zhang Kai passed the Yin official examination, but he did not go to Mengzhou to take up the post. Instead, he wanted to be a Jinshi.
Zhang Fang saw Zhang Yue push him over lightly, knowing that the other party was not willing to let go of this moment. At that moment, Zhang Wen smiled and said, "You are too modest. Although I am a few years older than you, I am afraid that not many of the children in the Zhang family can match your level of knowledge in the world."
Zhang Yue said calmly: "Uncle's words are serious."
Zhang Fang smiled faintly, but his heart was full of disappointment, and Zhang Kai's face looked extremely ugly.
Zhang Yue suddenly said to Zhang Shi: "Brother, I heard that Xi'er is studying in the Imperial College, so it would be a good time to accompany brother Zhifu!"
Zhang Fang heard that he was Zhang Yue's nephew. Although he felt a little relieved, he still felt a little disapproving in his heart.
Zhang Yue smiled at Zhang Kai and said: "Brother Zhifu, Xi'er is among the best in the Imperial Academy. Su Laoquan just now told my brother that Xi'er will not be inferior to me in future fame. I am planning to let him join Laoquan's sect. , if it’s convenient for my brother-in-law, why not... let’s do it together.”
Zhang Kai was surprised and happy when he heard this, and immediately took over the words: "Of course it is convenient."
Sansu's name is famous all over the world.
Su Xun usually did not accept disciples, but Su Shi and Su Zhe were both trained by him. Which scholar in the world today would not be proud to know Sansu.
Zhang Fang is an official in the Ministry of Rites, and Su Xun is currently editing "Taichang Yinge Li" in the Ministry of Rites. Although they both work together in the Ministry of Rites. But even with this friendship, Zhang Fang could not ask Su Xun to teach his son.
However, Zhang Yue was different. He and Su Shi and Su Che were both good friends and they were elected in the same year. This relationship can be said to bring the three people together in their future political careers.
Zhang Fang smiled and said, "That all depends on Du Zhi."
Zhang Yue smiled and said: "Uncle, my nephew will give it a try. I don't know whether it will work or not, but I will try my best."
Zhang Fang said happily: "With your words of "do your best, uncle is already satisfied."
As for Zhang Shi, he was so happy that he didn't know what to do when he heard Zhang Yue said that he planned to let Zhang Qiu join Su Xun's family.
Zhang Kaize thought to himself, Du Zhi is really a generous and sincere person, but his kindness is far inferior to that of his younger brother.
As for Zhang Kai, his vision was more profound than his son's.
Su Xun had failed in many previous trials. Han Qi and Ouyang Xiu both recommended Su Xun to serve as an official, but Fu Bi said, "Let's give him a little treatment for the time being."
In the third year of Jiayou's reign, the court finally gave Su Xun a chance to take the examination at Sherenyuan. If he passed the examination, he could become an official. However, Su Xun excused himself because of his illness. He told his friends that he was old and no longer wanted to look at the examiner's face.
It was not until the fifth year of Jiayou's reign that Su Xun was recommended by Han Qi as Secretary and Provincial Secretary.
Sansu's official career was inseparable from the support of Han Qi and Ouyang Xiu.
Su Xun's elder brother Su Huan was also an official in the court. Before that, Su Xun had joined the family lineage with Su Songxu, who was the manager of Jixian School and also knew Taichang Liyuan. The reason why Su Xun still bought a house in Yiqiumen was because Su Song also lived here, and the two families happened to live next to each other.
At the same time, Sansu and his son also had a close relationship with Lu Tao, another official from Meishan.
It seems that after coming from Fan Town, the Su family has gradually become another powerful force among Shu officials.
It would be of great benefit for his son to make friends with the Su family.
As for Zhang Yue, he also thought of this. He knew at first glance that Su Xun was a man with great political ambitions. Wang Anshi didn't like him. He once commented on Su Xun, saying that he spent all his time studying the art of warring states.
When I met Su Xun after the exam, the rankings had not been announced at that time. I competed with Su Shi for third place, and Su Xun was very hostile to me. The rankings were announced, and he and Su Shi were merged into the third class. Su Xun immediately had a different attitude towards him.
When Su Xun was alive, he established basic connections for his two sons to build the Shu Party in the future.
The characteristic of the political group Shu Party was that it opposed Wang Anshi during the Xining period, attacked the old parties Luo Party and Shuo Party under Sima Guang during the Yuanyou period, and opposed Zhang Dun after Yuanfeng.
Some people say that this party has no political ideas, but this is not the case. In other words, I will fight whoever comes to power.
Zhang Yue likes to deal with such tough-headed men.
Zhang Kai's grudge against Zhang Yue was gone, and he couldn't help but think to himself, how would Zhang Dun feel if he knew that his younger brother, whom he had looked down upon in the past, was now the top two in the Jinshi system?
All I can say is that the circumstances in life are truly incredible.
However, just when Zhang Yue was planning to drag Zhang Qiu and Zhang Qi to the Su Mansion to become his apprentice, he learned that Wang Anshi was unwilling to draft a decree for Su Che.
When Zhang Yue heard about this, his first reaction was that Wang Anshi was really smart and dared to "return the prefix".
But I remembered another thing, that was the famous Sanshe personnel affairs during the Xining period.
At that time, Song Shenzong wanted to appoint Li Ding, a student of Wang Anshi, as the supervisory censor Li Xing.
The preface was sent to the House of Scholars. Su Song, Song Minqiu, and Li Dalin returned the preface eight times. Su Song, who was called Zongshu by Su Shi, returned the preface four times.
The final result was that the three Sheren were dismissed. This incident shocked the whole court and became known as the Sansheren Incident.
So what does this matter tell us?
But unlike Su Che, Zhang Yue got his own lyrics early in the morning. It seems that although Wang Anshi didn't draft it for Su Che, he still left some face for himself, who was always disliked by him. Thinking of this, Zhang Yue actually had something to say. Somewhat touching.
But Su Che was finished. Count the officials who had been "returned to the title", and every one of them had a bad reputation in the officialdom. For Su Che, he had just been promoted to the fourth level, but would his great career be ruined in one fell swoop?
But now there is a question before Zhang Yue: after getting the lyrics, should he express his gratitude to Wang Anshi.
Because Wang Anshi is the examiner for the Sixth Examination of the Secret Pavilion, according to the rules, after passing the examination, the candidates have to come to thank the examiner.
But now Wang Anshi's move has reduced Han Qi's face to the ground. If he comes to thank Wang Anshi, he will most likely offend Han Qi.
