In the third department hall.
Zhang Yue Jingtong reported that he met Han Jiang.
In the past, Zhang Yue always had direct access to Han Jiang, but now a new official, the Third Secretary of the Envoy Office, was established, and Liang Duan, a member of the field service, was appointed as the official. Therefore, anyone who wanted to see Han Jiang had to report through Liang Duan.
When Zhang Yue passed by Liang Duantong to report, he saw that there were no officials in the corridor.
Zhang Yue was surprised. In the past, there were many officials waiting to see the Third Secretary in the corridor.
Liang Duan smiled and said: "The governor of the province has complicated affairs and has no time to spare. Therefore, I can help you pass the news on your behalf. This saves a lot of things."
Zhang Yue thought for a moment and asked, "What about the deputy envoy, Tongjian?"
Liang Duan smiled and said: "I will probably do the work for him."
Zhang Yue thought to himself that he had been away from Sansi Envoy for a while, and the rules of the yamen had changed a lot, and he was quite uncomfortable with it.
When Zhang Yue saw Han Jiang, he was painting in the ambassador's hall.
Zhang Yue remembered that when Cai Xiang and Lu Gongbi were the third envoys in the past, they were too busy to even drink water, but Han Jiang was actually able to paint in the envoy hall.
As expected, every official has his own way of doing things.
Everyone knew that it was Han Jiang who proposed the establishment of the Third Secretary's Office, so as the Third Secretary, he was freed. At the same time, Liang Duan was a field officer, and with this qualification he could barely serve as a judge of the third division.
It was easy for Han Jiang to call the other party, and in turn, the deputy envoy of the Third Division and the judge wanted to see Han Jiang through him, so Liang Duan could win in front of them.
Han Jiang smiled and said to Zhang Yue, "Have you met Liang Douzhi just now?"
Zhang Yue said: "I've seen it before."
Han Jiang wiped her hands with a cloth and said, "What do you think of my arrangement?"
Zhang Yue knew what was going on and asked, "What's the arrangement?"
Han Jiang said: "Of course it is an arrangement that is known to all the three envoys."
Zhang Yue said with a smile: "It goes without saying that Ji Xiang has the leisure to paint here."
Han Jiang smiled and said: "You don't need to put a high hat on me to save it. The three envoys have great power, and it is easy for people to take advantage of their power to do things. But why do I know this and still do it?"
"Please give me some advice."
"It's just a word of trust. I've always been willing to employ people and like to delegate power. Once I use them, I trust them. Once I take charge of them, I don't doubt them. If I entrust you with this word of trust, others will not dare to betray me. Besides, I'm not like that. Easily deceived.”
Zhang Yue nodded when he heard this and said, "I've been taught."
Han Jiang liked to delegate power to others, but one thing he was like Cai Xiang was that when there were eunuchs around the emperor who wanted to send rewards and edicts to the three divisions, Han Jiang refused them all without mercy.
The officials were a little unhappy with Han Jiang because of this, but Han Jiang still persisted, which made the officials see his character.
Han Jiang said: "Recently, the officials have been hesitant, and Xianggong Han and I have recommended some people to you. Prime Minister Han and I have also taken your reinstatement to heart. We originally wanted to wait for the officials to be in a comfortable mood. , but that time I played three people, and the other two were all right, but you didn't agree."
Zhang Yue listened silently, and he never expected that the emperor would change his mind. He originally wanted to wait until later, but after hearing this, he felt angry in his heart.
"You just wait in the countryside, and I will talk to you when the time comes. Merits and faults all depend on the people's hearts. There is no reason why an official who has no faults and merits will be dismissed from office without being rewarded. This matter cannot be justified in any case."
Zhang Yue stood up and thanked him, then put the article he wrote on Han Jiang's head and left.
Zhang Yue was really disgusted by the officials this time. If he hadn't known that you wouldn't be emperor for long, he really wouldn't have had a chance to get ahead.
When I read The Romance of the Three Kingdoms in the past, I always felt that the fact that Yuan Shao killed Tian Feng was too weird. How could a subordinate kill him if he said the right thing, but survive if his boss said the wrong thing?
But later I discovered that eight out of ten officials are like this.
When Zhang Yue stood in the Third Secretary's Hall and looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar yamen, he couldn't help but feel indignant and mocked himself: "The pines at the bottom of the gloomy stream, the seedlings on the distant mountains."
"With its stems an inch in diameter, it can shade this hundred-foot strip.
"The world's stomach is high, and the handsomeness is low."
"The terrain makes it happen, and it has a long history."
"Jin Zhang borrows from old business, seven-leafed Han Diao."
"Isn't Mr. Feng a great man? His head is white and he doesn't see any moves."
Because Feng Tang was outspoken, he was still an official even though he was quite old and his hair was white. I was also frustrated by the emperor because I said the right words.
"Du Zhi, why are you chanting Zuo Si here?"
When Zhang Yue sighed, he suddenly heard someone calling him. It turned out that the other person was Han Wei.
Han Wei came to see his brother Han Jiang. Han Wei refused to let go after meeting Zhang Yue. He must wait until he met his brother before letting Zhang Yue get together with him.
Zhang Yue agreed.
Later Zhang Yue went to Han Wei's home.
Han Wei now knows how to make imperial edicts, and at the same time he also informs the Yintai Department. He is in charge of the submission of memorials and edicts by officials all over the world. He can be said to be a very popular official.
After Zhang Yue arrived at the Han Mansion, Han Wei invited Zhang Yue to have a drink in the attic of his home.
The people from the Han family specially bought some summer-cooling side dishes from Qingfeng Tower, as well as green apricot wine, and the Yueqie gourd that everyone in Bianjing City is flocking to.
The two of them were sitting in the attic, eating wine and chatting.
Han Wei said to Zhang Yue: "Du Zhi, do you know that the prince is in a difficult situation now?"
Zhang Yue said: "But is it because the official family is not hesitant because of the dragon body?"
Han Wei nodded and said: "Of course. The prince is very anxious now. The court officials ask him to go to the palace every two days to participate in the Jingyan, but if it is two days away, then I don't know what to do."
"Why not ask for an edict to be crown prince?"
"Censor Liu Xiang has submitted a petition to establish a crown prince, but the official family has not agreed."
Zhang Yue thought deeply: "This...except Liu Yushi, do other officials agree with the establishment of the crown prince?"
Han Wei shook his head and said, "Never."
Zhang Yue nodded. Although Liu Xiang was Han Qi's confidant, this was too abnormal.
Because of the matter of establishing a crown prince, the officials below have always been scrambling to get ahead for fear of falling behind.
For example, in the Ming Dynasty's struggle for the foundation of the country, officials carried explosives on their heads as if tied to their waists, and one after another rushed to ask the emperor to establish a prince. In the end, more than 200 officials lost their hats for this matter.
But after Liu Xiang came to the throne, there was no one who responded. This... This can only be said that because of the Puyi incident, the officials were extremely disappointed in the emperor, and their character was completely ruined.
Han Wei asked: "Du Zhi, you have always been very resourceful. When His Majesty was able to ascend the throne, you and Sima Junshi played a major role in the affairs. Do you have any countermeasures now?"
Zhang Yue's heart is filled with great achievements? Damn it, if the emperor still remembered this kindness, he would not send himself to farm.
It turns out that this is how the Zhao family repays their kindness, and we finally learned from it.
Zhang Yue waved his hand and said, "Brother Chiguo, you look down on me. There is nothing I can do."
Han Wei said: "The prince was raised by me personally. If once... my Han family will probably decline, and there will even... please help me do this. I will definitely remember this kindness."
Zhang Yue thought to himself that it was better not to get involved in this matter, so Yang Yang said goodbye to Han Wei under the pretense of being drunk.
Zhang Yue walked to the stairs of the attic and suddenly found that the stairs here had been removed at some point.
Zhang Yue cursed in his heart, Damn!
