After hearing what Zhang Shi said, Zhang Yue couldn't help but be stunned.
The Seventeenth Mother on the side was speechless. She glanced at her husband. She always valued Zhang Yue's opinion on this matter and would not express her opinion easily.
After Zhang Shi finished speaking, looking at Zhang Yue's expression, he felt a little regretful and then said: "Third brother, I know you haven't let go of this anger yet, but there is no overnight hatred between brothers, and it has been so long... so many years have passed. Well, why not let everything go for my brother’s sake.”
After seeing Zhang Shi's words, Zhang Yue thought for a while and asked, "Brother, did my uncle and second aunt say something to you again?"
This time it was Zhang Shi's turn to dodge his eyes, and Zhang Yue understood immediately.
Zhang Yue asked: "Do you need my help with anything? Is it uncle or second aunt who spoke?"
Zhang Shi asked: "Isn't it the same thing?"
Zhang Yue said: "It's different. If it's my second aunt, although she loves Brother Dun, she will never embarrass me or make me feel unreasonable if she opens her mouth. If she opens her mouth, it will be extremely difficult. I will do it myself." I won’t stand by and watch.”
"But if uncle opens his mouth...then I can only say one thing from beginning to end, and that is that there is nothing I can do to help!"
Zhang Shi couldn't help but said: "Third brother, your uncle is just stingy and snobbish for you, but it doesn't matter. After all, he is his own relative. How can there be a big mistake between relatives?"
"Relatives? Do you still remember how old you were?"
Zhang Yue could never forget that the elder of the Zhang Yu family looked down upon others and was snobbish.
Zhang Yue's perception of Zhang Yu was the same, but once Laodu Guan joined, his evaluation was extremely low. Zhang Yue heard that it was Zhang Yu's intention, so he didn't even want to ask.
Later, the family was having a boring meal.
Seventeen Niang learned from Mrs. Yu that Zhang Dun had been impeached by Wang Tao for misconduct in October last year because of Ouyang Xiu's recommendation, and was not awarded the post.
Today, Zhang Yu spent a lot of effort to get Zhang Dun recommended by the Academy of Sciences. This time, he was afraid that something would go wrong again. Hearing that Zhang Yue had been promoted to the position of minister of Tianzhang Pavilion, he could participate in daily life, so Zhang Yu wanted Zhang Yue to come forward and say a few words.
After hearing this, Seventeen Niang simply did not tell Zhang Yue but said to herself, Zhang Yu, this uncle, was really shameless to say this.
Although my husband is now the minister of Tianzhang Pavilion, he is not in waiting. The emperor has not interfered with his political affairs, so it is not convenient for him to express his opinions.
Zhang Yue has just taken up his new job and will never risk his own future.
And now he is in the Zizheng Hall.
But I saw Wang Taozheng, the official teacher, making a loud statement to the emperor: "Your Majesty, Zhang Yue must not serve as a lecturer for Tianzhang Pavilion. Please take back your Majesty's order!"
"Why? Didn't I tell my husband before that the more people I want to use in this chapter?" The official had a headache.
Wang Tao said: "Your Majesty, I am not interfering with your Majesty's employment, but the minister of Tianzhang Pavilion is a close official of the emperor and can predict the secrets. Zhang Yue is here and there is no guarantee that he will leak the secrets of the court."
"confidential?"
"Your Majesty, when Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty came to the throne, when he visited the Imperial Ancestral Temple and rode with Huo Guang, he felt that Huo Guang's gaze was like a thorn in his back. I wonder how your Majesty saw the Duke of Wei's eyes when he visited the Imperial Ancestral Temple?"
The official was silent after hearing this, thinking of Han Qi's eyes.
I have to admit that every time I see Han Qi, I unconsciously weaken his aura and dare not look at him.
Wang Tao said seriously: "Your Majesty, have you forgotten Lu Jie's original memorial? Han Qi may not be as talented as Huo Guang, Li Deyu, Ding Wei, Cao used it, but was arrogant and wanton."
"Han Qi dared to do this when the late emperor was here, let alone your majesty. Now Han Qi has been the prime minister for three dynasties, and both your majesty and the late emperor were established by him. With such a minister by your side, can your majesty sleep peacefully?"
"This..." The official didn't know what to say. His teeth trembled slightly when he thought of Wang Tao's words. He was also a little afraid.
Wang Tao's eyes were aggressive and he took a step closer and said, "Your Majesty, if Han Qi is not eliminated, what will happen to Yin Yin if he goes to Huo Guang one day?"
The officials were questioned repeatedly by Wang Tao, and they were in a state of confusion.
The official thought over and over again and said: "But after all, Wei Guogong is a minister who cares about life. I will get rid of minister Gu Ming when I ascend the throne. This move is not appropriate. I have seen that Wei Guogong intends to leave after resigning from the post of Shanling Envoy. Maybe he has no intention. In power and position.”
"Besides, the Duke of Wei has been very kind to me and my son, and I cannot bear to let him down. This is not the rule from our ancestors. Why don't Mr. Wang find a way to release his military power over a glass of wine?"
Wang Tao said sternly: "Your Majesty is too kind to women. Can you believe a scheming person like Han Qi when he says he wants to abdicate? Besides, regarding power and position, if you don't force him, will he be willing to surrender?" ?I have never seen anyone give up their power and position to others in my entire life."
The officials couldn't help but blush when Wang Tao rebuked them like this.
Wang Tao saw that the official had been frightened, and his voice changed to a soft tone: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I can save everything. A veteran of the three dynasties like Wei Guogong, who was a prime minister in the dynasty, will have the dignity of a prime minister if he goes out of office. As long as your Majesty follows the strategy of the minister, when the time comes, It will force him to invite the county to the place, so it will not hurt the relationship between the monarch and his ministers, and it will not chill the hearts of the people."
"As for Your Majesty's decision to use Zhang Yue, I have no objection, but after all, Zhang Yue is appreciated by Ouyang Xiu, and Ouyang Xiu is Han Qi's right-hand man. How can such a minister stay with Your Majesty? When Your Majesty really wants to use him, he will expel Han. Qi, after Ouyang Xiu leaves the court, it won't be too late to use Zhang Yue."
The official said: "That's it, then I will do it according to my husband."
"Zhang Yue is the only one I have just promoted. Under the imperial decree, I really can't bear to offend him. If I can't change my order overnight, how about letting him take another position after a while?"
Wang Tao still refused after hearing this, and said in an old-fashioned manner: "Your Majesty is the king of a country, and he has his own way of advancing, retreating, and employing people. Why do you care about what others say? As for what your ministers think, it is not your Majesty's responsibility to consider."
The official said anxiously: "The Third Chief of Staff Han Jiang was also promoted by Han Qi, so I won't even listen to Mr. Han's words in the future?"
Wang Tao was surprised. He didn't expect the officials to say that. Yes, the officials were always on guard against Han Qi, but weren't they on guard against himself? The way of balance has always been the art of controlling the emperor.
Wang Tao thought for a while but wanted to say more.
The official said "I'm tired" and took the initiative to end the conversation between the monarch and his ministers.
When Wang Tao left, he couldn't help but sigh, thinking that ever since he became a royal official, the officials had always obeyed his advice and done everything he wanted to do. However, the only two times he did not listen to his opinions after he became the throne were because of Zhang Yue.
Wang Tao couldn't help but feel extremely unhappy. His original view of Zhang Yue was that he was Ouyang Xiu's disciple, so he just blocked him, but now he has some personal emotions involved.
The next day, when Zhang Yue entered the palace, he first went to Tianzhang Pavilion to light the knot.
For example, the common people are familiar with Longtu Pavilion and Tianzhang Pavilion, but no one knows what the second pavilion does.
Longtuge is a collection of Emperor Taizong's royal books, collected pictures, classics, etc., as well as clan rosters and genealogies.
The purpose of Tianzhang Pavilion is the same, but it is to collect the imperial belongings of Emperor Zhenzong.
After Emperor Renzong built Tianzhang Pavilion, he often met with ministers here to discuss national affairs.
During the Qingli period, Emperor Renzong negotiated peace after the disastrous defeat in the Battle of Xixia and decided to work hard to govern.
He opened the Tianzhang Pavilion, summoned ministers above the ruling level and officials above the Zhiza Yushi level to give them seats, and then asked the officials present: "How many are needed to govern the world, and what should be done first in order to apply it now?"
Then Emperor Renzong gave them pen and ink to let them speak freely.
Fan Zhongyan and Fu Bi were too frightened to answer.
After retiring from the court, Fan Zhongyan and Fu Bi drafted the famous "Replying the Imperial Edict and Chen Shi Shi", which proposed the elimination of redundant troops, redundant officials, redundant expenses, and Emperor Renzong was very excited after reading it. The curtain of the Qingli New Deal.
In addition to discussing national affairs, Emperor Renzong and his ministers read books here and paid homage to Taizu and the remains of Emperor Taizong.
Having said that, Emperor Zhenzong liked literary people very much.
After the imperial examination, Emperor Renzong sent the top ten papers to Emperor Zhenzong for burning in front of Emperor Zhenzong's Shadow Palace, as did the examination papers.
Zhang Yue thought to himself that if Emperor Zhenzong knew about it, he would have read his article twice.
After leaving Tianzhang Pavilion, according to the rules, he had to go to the Political Hall to meet the Prime Minister.
But for some reason, all the officials in the political affairs hall were not in the office today, which made Zhang Yue very strange.
When he walked out of the hall, he happened to hear two officials talking privately: "Ouyang's political participation is over now. Not only can he not keep his official position, but his reputation has also been ruined."
Zhang Yue was startled when he heard this, and immediately walked past the two officials, and then asked a familiar official for questioning. Only then did he learn that something serious had happened to Ouyang Xiu.
When the late emperor passed away, the imperial censor impeached Ouyang Xiu for wearing a purple robe under his mourning clothes when he entered the Funing Hall.
Now the censor Jiang Zhiqi impeached Ouyang Xiu for not repairing the curtains and having an affair with his eldest daughter-in-law Wu.
When Zhang Yue heard about this impeachment, he felt completely confused on the spot.
He vaguely remembered that Ouyang Xiu was impeached during the Shenzong Dynasty in history, but he could not remember who was responsible for the crime.
This Jiang Zhiqi was a disciple of Ouyang Xiu. He was a Jinshi in the second year of Jiayou. He had contacts with both himself and Su Shi. He was able to become the censor because of Ouyang Xiu's recommendation.
Now he actually impeached his own seat leader and chairperson Ouyang Xiu?
What happened to this world?
Who made Jiang Zhiqi betray Ouyang Xiu? This crime could not only cause Ouyang Xiu to be dismissed from office, but also ruin his reputation and make him unable to turn over for the rest of his life.
Zhang Yue was puzzled.
When Zhang Yue returned to Tianzhang Pavilion from the Political Affairs Hall, he happened to see the back of a purple-robed official outside the pavilion. The other party was none other than Ouyang Xiu.
Zhang Yue saw him and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Uncle Ouyang!"
When Ouyang Xiu heard this, he did not turn around but asked: "Is this to be saved?"
Zhang Yue stood behind Ouyang Xiu and said, "It's my nephew."
"People change over time, and exchanges become ancient and modern. Today is the first day of your new post, but for me, Ouyang Xiu, it is the last day of my reign."
There was a sense of sadness in Ouyang Xiu's words.
"uncle……"
Zhang Yue saw Ouyang Xiu slowly turn his head and saw that his appearance was extremely different.
You can imagine how much of a blow Ouyang Xiu was.
Being impeached by his own protégé, Jiang Zhiqi, whom he elected as censor, the feeling of betrayal is ten times more painful than an enemy stabbing you.
Therefore, Ouyang Xiu in front of Zhang Yue seemed to have aged ten years suddenly.
