Zhang visited, and Zhang and Qi came to visit in person.
"So the hostage had a conversation with Ah Xi, and you personally persuaded him?"
Zhang Kai's forehead was covered with sweat and he said: "Brother Yue..."
"Who is your brother Yue?" Zhang Yue scolded.
Zhang Kai took a deep breath and said: "Zhang Taichang, I didn't think carefully about this matter. I advised Axi to continue taking the exam. I gave up the exam myself. I think he can appreciate it..."
Zhang Kai's words made sense.
Zhang Yue said: "If you want to give up the list, you can do it yourself. Why do you have to say it? It's not deliberate."
Zhang Kai lowered his head and said: "Zhang Taichang, I know that anything I say at this moment is useless, but if I have a relationship with Ah Xi, I will not harm him no matter what."
After saying this, Zhang Kai raised his head and said, "Zhang Taichang, I have a clear conscience."
After Zhang Kai finished speaking, Zhang Shi said dejectedly: "Go away, I don't want to hear it anymore."
Zhang Fang said to Zhang Yue: "I really didn't know about this beforehand. I thought about it carefully later, and I don't want them to throw away the list, whether it's A Xi or Quan Zi."
Zhang Yue said: "Uncle, it is useless to talk about this matter now. Now my nephew has given up the exam, but my son has been able to go to high school."
"You said this was unintentional, and I want to believe it, but what difference does it make if it is done intentionally or not? Stop saying it, otherwise..."
When Zhang visited and Zhang Yue heard what Zhang Yue said, they both had no shame in staying any longer and left in embarrassment.
Zhang Yue said to the depressed Zhang Shi: "I think Zhang Zhifu may not have done it intentionally. Axi chose this matter himself. He is really disturbing."
"That's all it has now."
Zhang Shi and Yu looked at each other with sadness. .
Immediately, the results of the provincial examination were released. Since there was no palace examination, ranking first in the provincial examination was equivalent to the number one scholar. The last provincial leader is Peng Ruli, a person from Pan Yang.
Since they had not yet passed the palace examination, the top three were only awarded junior ministerial officials, which was the same as the second place in the imperial examination in the sixth and eighth years of Jiayou's reign.
As for Zhang Kai, he won the first place in the Lock Hall Examination, so he can also be called a provincial leader.
There are many famous people in this subject, so I won’t list them all in detail.
But he said that after the provincial examination, Su Shi had returned to Beijing from Fengxiang Mansion to report on his work, and was arranged by Han Qi to take the provincial examination.
During Su Shi's imperial examination, he wrote "Confucius's Theory of Advancement" and "The Spring and Autumn Period to Determine the Righteousness of the World", which were unanimously praised by all the Hanlin officials and won the third-class ranking.
This and other third-level subjects are generally ancient events.
Su Shi ordered Deng Wenguyuan to stay in Bianjing to serve the old man, while Su Che went to Daming Mansion to serve as a promotion official.
Today, Su Shi's full official title is Dali Temple Cheng, Zhishi Guan, Fenden Wenguyuan.
Su Che was about to leave Beijing and Su Shi had just returned to Beijing. Zhang Yue invited them to his home for a banquet.
Su Shi granted him the post of Director of History, which made Zhang Yue murmur. Zhang Yue's Zhi Jixian Yuan is just lower than Zhi Shi Guan.
Three pavilions and one pavilion.
Zhaowen Pavilion has the highest status, followed by History Pavilion, Jixian Yuan and Mi Pavilion the lowest.
The same is true for the ranking of prime ministers, with Zhao Wen Xiang being the highest, followed by Shi Guan Xiang.
However, Zhang Yue himself was two ranks higher than Su Shi.
This has no other meaning. It is simply impossible for an official to say that he doesn't compare things with others from the bottom of his heart.
After Su Shi was awarded a new position, he asked to see the emperor as usual. Su Che said to Su Shi: "Brother, please be careful about what you say when you meet the officials this time to thank them. Don't agree to anything the officials ask you to promise."
Su Shi asked: "Why?"
Zhang Yue thought to himself, Su Shi is full of all five dimensions, but the skill point of politics is not added?
Su Zhe said: "I heard what Du Zhi said before. He heard something in the court."
Su Shi was silent, and now the officials were focusing on him. Han Qi said that the officials had heard of his reputation before he ascended the throne, and wanted to reuse him to make imperial edicts, but Han Qi objected, and wanted Su Shi to revise his daily notes, but Han Qi stopped him. , and finally called for examination for library position.
Zhang Yue said: "Recently, officials are trying to recruit people everywhere. For example, Zhou Mengyang and Wang Guangyuan are all old members of the palace and they all want to be reused."
Su Shi said: "It's natural for officials to ascend the throne and join people."
Zhang Yue said: "It's good to be a member, but after four months, the late emperor's period of great auspiciousness will expire, and the title of King Pu will be reviewed at that time. Brother Zizhan has many friends in the capital. I invite you to ask how to answer them. ?”
Su Shi smiled and said: "So that's it. The late emperor gave up his country to the officials, and since he inherited his inheritance, he became the emperor. This is the etiquette and law, and it is undisputed."
Zhang Yue and Su Zhe looked at each other with helpless expressions.
Su Zhe said: "But if my brother said this, he would offend the officials. Here, the officials want to re-employ you, but over there, you... If the news reaches the ears of the officials, wouldn't it cause resentment?"
Zhang Yue's thoughts are more than that. If Su Shi says this, Ouyang Xiu will also be very sad.
Su Shi said: "Yes, what Ziyou said makes sense. But since we are good friends, we will not spread rumors like this. I believe that if I live up to others, they will not let me down. I still have some perspective on understanding people. Besides, today's politics are clear and clear. , how can there be so many villains."
Su Che said: "Brother, have you forgotten Wang Jiefu?"
Su Shi said: "Wang Jiefu is just unkind, not a villain. He is also a man with the world in mind. That's not how Jiu Sanlang sees people."
Su Shi added: "Actually, I don't want to be an official in Beijing... I have always had the temper to say whatever I want. But I never meant to disrespect the officials."
Zhang Yue said: "Brother Zizhan, everything in the world is bad and bad here. Those around you are the ones who hurt you. Today we are friends, but tomorrow I will take your words out of context."
Su Che nodded heavily, also agreeing with Zhang Yue.
At the unanimous request of Zhang Yue and Su Che, Su Shi reluctantly agreed not to express his views on Huangbo Huangkao easily.
The three of them continued drinking, and Su Shi told an interesting story about his return to Beijing from Fengxiang.
His entourage was possessed by an evil spirit on the way, and others said that he had offended the mountain god. Su Shi went to the mountain god to pray.
After praying, Su Shi continued on the road when a sudden wind and sand hit his face. Others advised him not to go there because the mountain god was still angry, but to go back and continue praying.
Su Shi said that my fate was up to me and not others, and he continued walking. Finally, the wind and sand subsided, and the entourage regained consciousness.
At this point, the three of them laughed.
Su Shi also said that due to the construction of the imperial mausoleum, the people were pulled from Shaanxi to Bianjing, and the people were too poor to work. He also spent a lot of effort to complete the job, which was puzzled by his superiors.
Su Shi couldn't help but talk about his time in Fengxiang Mansion, including pain and trials, lamenting the hardships of people's livelihood, but in the end they all turned into dishes to accompany the wine.
When asked about Zhang Yue, Zhang Yue briefly talked about the matter of being summoned to prison. Zhang Yue said it with ease.
The three of them drank until midnight.
In April of the second year of Zhiping.
Zhang Qiu sent a letter from Shu to report that he was safe, which also reassured Zhang Yue's family, who had been worried about him.
At this time, the officials ordered the officials of ceremonial and above to discuss the name of his biological father, King Pu.
The Puyi dispute began, and the ministers in the DPRK and China also split into two factions.
One faction is the Zhongshu faction headed by Han Qi, Zeng Gongliang, and Ouyang Xiu, the prime ministers of Zhongshu.
There is also a faction that is Sima Guang, the Taijian faction spearheaded by Lu Jie.
Most of the courtiers sided with the Taiwan Remonstration Faction, accusing the Zhongshu Faction of catering to the officials' personal considerations. Only Liu Chang, Zeng Gong and a few others stood with the Zhongshu Faction.
Zhang Yue knew that this dispute had just begun and could not be stopped for a while.
Although he is a court official, he is not under the waiting system, and he is not currently serving as a servant in Taichang Liyuan, so he has avoided this dispute.
Now he is only focused on seducing people into prison.
Branch offices in Luoyang and Shaanxi were set up, and business was booming.
The new envoy Lu Gongbi also took office.
Lu Gongbi's elder brother Lu Gongzhu is now the deputy envoy of the Ministry of Household Affairs. The two brothers control the money bag of the Song Dynasty.
In the previous meeting of King Pu, some officials suggested calling King Pu Huangbo. Lu Gongzhu said to his face: "Huangbo is what Zhenzong calls Taizu. How can we treat King Pu?"
Because of the success of the official side, the two brothers Lu Gongzhu and Lu Gongbi were reused.
As a result, not long after Lu Gongbi took office as the Third Chief of Staff, the Puyi dispute officially began. A group of officials angrily asked Lu Gongbi, "Are you the one who said that you should not be called the emperor?"
Your father, Lu Yijian, was trusted by the late emperor to some extent and gave your Lu family the incredible wealth they have now. But when the new king came to the throne, did you, Mr. Lu, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, betray the late emperor for the sake of glory and wealth?
Lu Gongzhu retorted very thiefly: "Nonsense. I just didn't agree with being called emperor uncle at first, but I never said anything in favor of being called emperor. There are suspicions of having two fathers in the emperor's test. Prince Pu can do it." Avoiding His Majesty’s presence should not be the same taboo as the Seven Temples. In short, this is what I mean, you must spread it nonsense!”
Zhang Yue laughed after hearing this. Mr. Lu was really not good at playing double-dealing. The reason why he advised Su Shi to speak carefully was to prevent this situation.
When Lu Gongbi took office as a new official, he had his own reception banquet. The banquet was held in the official office of the Third Division. Zhang Yue and other judges attended the banquet together.
Zhang Yue looked at Lu Gongbi's stern expression and thought that this person was an old treacherous person.
Before Lu Gongbi took office, more than one official of the Third Division told Zhang Yue that this person was the most similar to Lu Yijian among the Lu family members.
After three rounds of drinking, Lu Gongbi said to his subordinates: "When I was the herdsman of the group, the official was still the vassal king. Once I got a bad horse, and the official asked me to replace it, but I refused. This time I served as the Third Division. The envoy, when the officials gave me the gift, asked me why I didn’t change it at that time.”
"The official's way, the law of the country, cannot be changed easily. If every vassal king has to change his horse, then where is the prestige of the court? After hearing this, the official said to me, I knew what kind of person you were at that time. In the past, Prime Minister Cai Ji was in charge of the three divisions. At that time, the imperial court sometimes asked him to handle matters, but he was often unable to make immediate decisions, so the three ministers left many things to do. How will you do this after succeeding Cai Jixiang?"
Zhang Yue and other officials from the third department all thought to themselves after hearing this, what does it mean that the court should ask Cai Xiang to do something? The officials asked Cai Xiang to lend him some money for his personal use, but Cai Xiang refused.
Lu Gongbi said: "I was talking to the officials at that time, and Cai Jixiang was very diligent in official affairs, and he never made any mistakes."
After hearing this, all the officials nodded and said to themselves, this is a good saying.
Lu Gongbi did not have the emperor promote him but kneeled down to lick the emperor. This was the integrity of an official.
Lu Gongbi said: "Before I took office, no matter how you taught me, I will not argue with you, but there is one thing I want to say to you first. Cai Jixiang's rules were whatever he had done at the beginning. I Xiao The rules are as they are, and you cannot change them!"
The officials of the three divisions said at the same time: "I am following the order of the provincial governor."
The following officials came up to toast one by one. When it was Zhang Yue's turn, Lu Gongbi said to Zhang Yue: "Zhang Taichang, come to the hall tomorrow. I have something to say to you."
