"Old eunuch," Lu Jie exclaimed at the same time, like a thunderbolt for a long time, Zhang Yue just let go of his hand.
The official looked stunned and slowly retracted his sleeves.
The old eunuch and Lu Jie saw that Zhang Yue's teeth were trembling, and the hand holding the memorial was also trembling, but his face turned red. The officials were very stunned now. They didn't know whether to be angry or not. On the contrary, Zhang Yue looked extremely angry.
"Zhang Yue is bold! Are you trying to imitate Kou Zhongmin?" Lu Hao cursed.
When Kou Zhun was in Taizong of the Song Dynasty, he once had a dispute with Emperor Taizong in the palace. Emperor Taizong was also furious and retreated to the inner palace. But Kou Zhun grabbed Emperor Taizong's dragon robe and forced the emperor to sit down, insisting that he listen to what he had to say.
Afterwards, Emperor Taizong smiled and said, "I won Kou Zhun just like I won a Wei Zheng."
But seeing Zhang Yue holding the account books in his hands, he said, "Your Majesty has not yet looked at my account books, but after the officials have looked at them in detail, it will not be too late for me to ask for my death!"
Zhang Yue talked about this.
If a person is not afraid of death, the emperor will be afraid of him.
The official was weak and said: "The ancestral system of this dynasty does not kill scholar-bureaucrats, and I will not kill ministers. I don't need to read Zhang Qing's account books. I believe... I believe you."
But Zhang Yue still persisted.
The official took a step back and thought about whether there were large salt banknotes in the account book, so Zhang Qing must let me take a look...
The official thought of this and took the account book from Zhang Yue. However, he couldn't help but be disappointed after browsing it. There were no salt notes at all. This was clearly a real account book.
The official almost lost his hands. Who is interested in your real account books?
However, the account book was clear one by one... The official wanted to pretend to look at it, but after reading several pages, he couldn't help but list it in detail, which was even more detailed than the housekeeper of Tuanlian's house.
The official said: "I have read this account book..."
Zhang Yue said: "Rong Chen will explain it to Your Majesty."
At this time, the old eunuch on the side wanted to say that it was almost time and it was time for the official family to have their meal.
However, seeing Zhang Yue's serious appearance, someone who can even pull a dragon sleeve, it is really difficult to guess.
The officials sat helplessly on the throne, listening to Zhang Yue's story. The official couldn't listen at first, but at this moment he couldn't take it away. He listened to Zhang Yue's few words and combined them with the account books. Suddenly, the things that were originally incomprehensible in the account books became clear after Zhang Yue explained it.
Where to spend? Where to spend it? The entire account book seemed to be in Zhang Yue's chest.
The number and stamp on each account book can be picked up easily without looking at the account book, and then matched up one by one.
Accounts receivable...accounts to be collected...etc.
Although the officials were not sure what Zhang Yue did in the account books, they could tell that this person was indeed a capable minister. He had never seen an accountant who could explain the accounts as clearly as Zhang Yue.
Thinking of this, the official glanced at Zhang Yue. This person is really serious and stubborn, but he is not worried about offending me at all?
The official was originally pinned down on the throne by Zhang Yueqiang, but now he turned over the account book page by page according to Zhang Yue's explanation. In less than half an hour, the entire account number handed over to the prison was revealed even to him, the official. It's all at a glance.
At this moment, the old eunuch and Lu Jie were both wiping sweat. This scene was unprecedented.
When the eunuchs in the imperial kitchen came to order food, they were all kicked out by the old eunuch.
Old eunuch, Lu Jie could obviously see that the officials actually listened.
When the official turned to the last page, Zhang Yue had just finished speaking, but he saw that the other party's forehead was covered with sweat.
There was no deliberate emotion on the other person's face, just relief.
Zhang Yue saw the officials looking at him and couldn't help but ask: "Your Majesty, is there anything I can't explain clearly?"
The official waved his hand and said, "It's not the account books. I don't understand something. Is Zhang Qing always so serious about his affairs?"
Zhang Yue was stunned for a moment, then said: "I'm not serious, I just study like this. I have never failed in an exam. This is how I study, and it's how I am an official."
The official said with relief: "I understand, but now you have also seen that the palace is in short supply. I want to ask you to hand over some money to the prisoner to support him. Are you willing?"
Zhang Yue said without hesitation: "No, if Your Majesty is short of money, I am willing to sell my property to support Your Majesty, but the money to be paid to the prisoner belongs to the court and no one can touch it!"
"Even if it's me?" The official looked at Zhang Yue.
Zhang Yue was silent for a moment and said: "Yes."
The official laughed angrily and said, "Qing Zhang, please retire!"
…
It was already past noon when Zhang Yue and Lu Jie walked out of the palace gate.
Lu Jie looked at Zhang Yue and cursed: "Shu Zi, I was almost scared to death by you today."
Zhang Yue bowed and said, "Young man can't help but remonstrate with me, and today also... I can't help it for a while."
"You are so young and energetic! I almost got killed by you. Finally, the officials asked you to give you some money to support me. Why didn't you respond? Can't you see that the officials are trying to help you?"
Zhang Yue said: "I would like to remind you that this etiquette and law should not be compromised."
Lu Jie looked at Zhang Yue and said: "You really think that Jiaoyinjian belongs to your Zhang family. You are an official of the imperial court, and Jiaoyinjian is the yamen of the imperial court. If you transfer him away, Jiaoyinjian will belong to someone else." .Is it worth worrying about these money?"
Zhang Yue said: "You know what you don't know when admonishing me. Let me give you an example. For example, a poor old farmer has a broken hut... This broken hut allows the wind to let in the rain and water, and nothing can stop it. But the old farmer is It is owned by my own family. One day, an official passes by and wants to enter this hut. No matter how dilapidated, dilapidated or worthless the hut is, the old farmer will not let the official enter."
"This handover to the prison is just like this old farmer's thatched hut. You and I both know that this old farmer's shabby thatched hut, not to mention the official family, even a subordinate official can kick in the door. But you know that as a remonstrating minister, you know that if you even If we don’t fight over these trivial matters, how can we dare to fight over big things in the future? As a king, we should not neglect to do evil because of small things, and we as officials should not refuse to admonish the king because of small things!" .
Zhang Yue bowed and resigned.
Lu Jie looked at Zhang Yue's back and couldn't help but sigh: "This boy is so powerful, who in the world can match him?"
…
In the palace, Empress Gao was waiting for the officials to have dinner. She sent people several times to remind them, but she heard back that the officials were discussing matters with the officials.
After hearing this, Empress Gao couldn't help but wonder, in the past, official affairs were not discussed so late, so why was an exception made today?
Soon the chamberlain reported that the official had returned to the palace, and Empress Gao hurriedly welcomed him out with a happy face.
But the official walked in with an angry look on his face and said to Empress Gao: "I'm so angry, I'm so angry."
Queen Gao was startled and said: "How can an official be like this?"
The official sat down angrily. The maid on the side offered tea soup, but the official knocked it to the ground without looking.
Empress Gao said sternly: "Why are officials like this, venting their anger on irrelevant people?"
The official said: "I don't know that the queen will be so arrogant today in the back hall..."
Queen Gao said: "Guardians, don't be angry. Speak slowly."
The official immediately told the whole story of Zhang Yue's sleeve pulling and looked very angry. Empress Gao heard the words and said with a smile: "Sit down, official, and let me go back and change my clothes."
The officials were furious, but soon they saw Empress Gao returning wearing an auspicious dress.
The official asked Queen Gao in surprise: "What are you doing?"
Empress Gao said with a smile: "In the past, Emperor Taizong said that he would win one Kou Zhuan, just like Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty won one Wei Zheng. Then Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty was not happy when he first won Wei Zheng. He told Empress Changsun, but Empress Changsun congratulated Taizong in full dress."
"Now that I am wearing this auspicious dress, I am emulating Empress Changsun, and I also hope that the official family can imitate Emperor Taizong!"
