Under the moon.
The streets of Bianjing are still bustling.
Zhang Yue and the Su Shi brothers walked side by side, while the servants dragged their horses and luggage slowly behind.
After listening to Zhang Yue's words, Su Che said to Zhang Yue: "Now that the matter is over, what else can I say? I will never beg for mercy from Wang Jiefu to tarnish the reputation of my Su family."
Zhang Yue looked at Su Che. The young man's eyes were unwavering.
The Su family, father and son, are all very tough.
When Wang Anshi ruined Su Che's reputation, Su Xun made a debate about treachery and angrily accused Wang Anshi of being the treacherous one. Wang Yan and Lu Qi became one person.
Su Che also had the same uncompromising and unyielding temperament.
Zhang Yue looked at Su Shi again. He silently stood by his brother's side. Su Shi in history did the same when facing Zhang Dun. In fact, Su Shi was at fault in this matter, but Su Shi insisted on not compromising. In the end, it seemed that Zhang Dun was really at fault.
This is a literary style, but it is not suitable for politics.
What is politics? Politics is about compromise.
For some people, bowing their head and admitting their mistake is as simple as drinking water and eating, but for some people, it is as simple as killing them.
Zhang Yue said: "Ziyou, it's okay to have personal grudges with Wang Jiefu, but don't criticize his political power. Now Wang Jiefu is acting on behalf of his superiors. To criticize Wang Jiefu's political power is to criticize the official family. Remember this."
This sentence is wrong for Zhang Yue. As a private member of the official family, he cannot reveal the official's political intentions to others.
But after Su Shi's brothers met him, Zhang Yue couldn't help but confide.
Seeing Zhang Yue's words, Su Zhe nodded solemnly, and Su Shi said at the side: "Thank you so much for Du Zhi's heartfelt words. We two brothers will save you."
Zhang Yue felt relieved after hearing what Su Shi said, and then he said goodbye and left.
Su Shi looked at Zhang Yue and said with emotion: "Ziyou, Duzhi is in a high position now, which is different from the past. But he can risk his relationship to say this to us. You should keep it in your heart."
Su Zhe said: "I am aware of Du's good intentions. I am just worried that Wang Jiefu will bring disaster to the world because of his political actions. It is true that as dad said, the world will be brought to disaster. This is how dad earned his reputation as a seer."
The two brothers sighed in unison.
…
A few days later.
"This Su Che is really a talent."
The official took this memorial of "The Letter to the Emperor" written by Su Che and appreciated it again.
The official said to Zhang Yue, who was at the side: "When Su Che went to the imperial examination, he criticized Emperor Renzong with his fierce words. I also said that he was a madman."
"But after reading this article, Su Zhe realized that this person had real talent and practical knowledge, and only then did he see that his words were correct. It seems that his talent is worthy of being ranked on the same list as Zhang Qing."
What the officials said not only praised Zhang Yue, but even seemed to love Wujiwu.
Zhang Yue and Su Shi's brothers happened to be on the same list in Jiayou's sixth year. If Zhang Yue is so good, then Su Zhe, who is on the same list as Zhang Yue, is also great.
After hearing what the official said, Zhang Yue expressed that he was very ashamed.
After Su Zhe became a scholar, he also read the "Book of the Emperor". This article was extremely well written, thoroughly reasoned, and very touching.
Su Che's ranking among the Eight Great Masters of the Tang and Song Dynasties was definitely not due to his brothers. After the officials read Su Che's memorial, they made an exception and issued an edict to summon Su Che, a ninth-rank official, in Yanhe Hall.
This is quite an honor.
However, Zhang Yue was both happy and worried that Su Che was appreciated by the officials.
It goes without saying that Su Che is talented, but he has conflicts with Wang Anshi.
The tempers of the three father and son are extremely stubborn!
Zhang Yue saw it and said: "Your Majesty, Su Che is indeed an outstanding person. If your Majesty appreciates it, you may as well keep it by your side and use it. You may want to call him for questioning from time to time in the future."
Zhang Yue spared no effort in promoting talents and not avoiding relatives and friends.
Zhang Yue meant that it would be a good idea to ask the officials to give Su Che a job as a storyteller in Chongzheng Hall of Lu Huiqing or to enter the third hall.
The official glanced at Zhang Yue and said with a smile: "What Zhang Qing said is absolutely true, but I have other plans. Isn't there a shortage of people in the Regulations Department of the Three Divisions? I plan to use Su Zhe to prepare the Regulations of the Three Divisions to review and document. "
Zhang Yue was surprised when he heard this. Isn't it the same job as Lu Huiqing to prepare the third department's regulations to examine the text?
It is true that the officials entrusted Su Che with important responsibilities, but...
Zhang Yue immediately regained his composure and said: "His Majesty has a single heart and intends to cultivate Su Zhe and select talents for the country. These three departments of regulations are the most training people. If the new law is successful, he will become a pillar of the country in the future."
"But the regulations of the three departments still focus on ministers with local experience, preferably those who have served as officials close to the people. I remember that Su Che was a Jinshi in the second year of Jiayou. Although the chief registrar of Shengchi County in Henan Prefecture was removed at that time, after Su Che He did not go to the post, but studied in Beijing to prepare for the imperial examination. Su Zhe waited until he was admitted to the Jiayou Six-Year Examination System. He was originally appointed as an official in Shangzhou, but because of his passionate rhetoric about policy making, he was dismissed by the then..."
Zhang Yuezheng was planning to tell the officials about Su Che's experience of being banned by Wang Anshi and that Su Che and Wang Anshi were obviously at odds. You also placed Su Che in the Ordinance Department of the Third Department. Isn't this clearly asking Wang Anshi to punish Su Che? ?
But when Zhang Yue said this, he was interrupted by an official: "I understand what Zhang Qing said. There is an endless debate between increasing revenue and reducing expenditure in the court. Can Su Zhe propose to abolish redundant officials, redundant troops, and redundant expenses?" This strategy shows that he has the intention to reduce expenditure."
"As long as a minister can put forward such a righteous argument, no matter what experience he has or what official position he has, I will entrust him with important tasks. This is what Zhang Qing said to me at the beginning."
Zhang Yue thought to himself, is this shooting himself in the foot?
Yes, he said that it is better to reduce expenditure than to increase revenue, but the problem is that the reduction is not feasible. Fan Zhongyan would have done it long ago. Or if you are an official grandson of Emperor Renzong, you can try this path again.
Zhang Yue was about to speak, but when he saw the official's eyes suddenly darkening, he couldn't help but realize, no, don't the official really know that the rules and regulations are not in compliance with the trend?
No, the officials knew.
So why should Su Che go to the Ordinance Department of the Third Division?
Because the officials had long known about Wang Anshi's return of the title, and knew that there was a feud between Su Che and Wang Anshi.
No wonder the official just interrupted him.
Zhang Yue suddenly realized.
This is "Things must be guarded against and music must be controlled".
Just as Sima Guangming clearly wanted to leave, he even asked the officials three times to invite him to the county. The officials knew that he was firmly opposed to Wang Anshi's reform, but why did they try to persuade him to stay many times and even told him, "Ji An is in the court, and the King of Huainan dare not On the contrary, who is this King of Huainan?
He even sent himself to persuade him to stay. This was not just to stir up dissent...
This kind of emperor's mind...
Sometimes, it is not the ministers who want to fight, but the emperor using means to provoke you to fight.
The emperor's means are the power and system in his hands.
What did Zhang Yue want to say when he got here?
Does he want to say that ministers are just tools?
Didn't you clearly ask Su Che to be cannon fodder?
Does he want to blame the officials?
Zhang Yue remembered that on a sunny afternoon a few days ago, when he was working in Tianzhang Pavilion, Hu Ding was diligently serving tea and water to Zhang Yue.
With Hu Ding's status, it doesn't have to be like this, but Zhang Yue's advice is useless, he must do it himself.
But he saw Hu Ding saying to him with a mysterious face: "Have you heard about the Third Department of Regulations, Zhang Daizhi?"
Zhang Yue smiled and said: "I heard that, why does Hu Zongfeng also want to recommend people to it?"
Zhang Yue is not joking. Since the establishment of the Ordinance Department of the Third Division, although there have been many criticisms from both the government and the opposition, there are also many people who secretly want to join the Ordinance Department of the Third Division through connections.
The most indispensable thing in this world is opportunistic people.
Anyone can see what it means to enter the Ordinance Department of the Third Division at this time?
No banquet official could not see Lu Huiqing's triumphant look these days.
The Ordinance Department of the Third Department said that it was Wang Anshi and Chen Shengzhi, but Chen Shengzhi had nothing to do. All matters, big and small, were discussed between Wang Anshi and Lu Huiqing.
Hu Ding said: "Who recommended people to it? Hey, I don't know if there is something to be done."
Hu Ding looked mysterious.
Zhang Yue generally ignored people who were trying to hide their opinions. He just said what he wanted to say. If you don't say anything, it would be useless if I begged you.
But Hu Ding paused for a while, and then complained to Zhang Yue: "It's so boring to talk to Zhang Daizhi."
At this point, Hu Ding lowered his voice and said: "Zhang Daizhi didn't know that when Wang Xianggong suggested to the officials to set up the Three Regulations Department, he named you to the officials and asked you to go to the Three Regulations Department."
Zhang Yue remained calm on his face, but he was secretly surprised in his heart. He didn't expect Wang Anshi to actually suggest to the officials that he should go to the Ordinance Department of the Third Division. Didn't he always look down on him?
Why do you want yourself?
But why have I never heard of this?
Hu Ding said with a smile: "At that time, the officials rejected Wang Xianggong at once. As for the other people Wang Xianggong asked for, he gave them. What can Zhang Daizhi know from this?"
No wonder.
Zhang Yue suddenly realized that the officials knew that his ideas were in conflict with Wang Anshi's.
So I am protecting myself by not allowing myself to go to the Ordinance Department of the Third Division.
Who can say that the emperor is ruthless?
No wonder Hu Ding is so attentive to himself...
Of course, it may also be that the officials may not completely believe in Wang Anshi, and he must be his own adviser... That's probably the case.
Zhang Yue's memory returned to the main hall from a few days ago, looking at the heroic officials in front of him.
At this moment, the official stood in front of the map of the border between Xixia and Shaanxi. He seemed to be talking to himself or to himself: "I have decided on Wang Shao's strategy. If he wants to take Xixia, he must first restore Hehuang and regain Hehuang to eliminate the right arm of Xixia." ...I am twenty-two years old this year, and I will definitely see my Great Song Dynasty’s cavalry trample through the Helan Mountains in my lifetime!”
Breaking through the gap in Helan Mountain was mentioned by later generations Yue Wumu.
But this sentence first came from the dispute between the Song Dynasty's envoys and the Xixia envoys.
At that time, the Song Dynasty envoy said, "Use one million troops to drive Helan into his lair."
However, the Xixia people just regarded this sentence as a joke. The Song envoy who said this sentence was punished, and even Zhang Yue almost took the blame.
But this young official has already set such an ambition!
The official's gaze was very distant, as if he saw this scene.
March of the second year of Xining.
Su Zhe submitted a letter to the emperor for the appreciation of the officials, except for the three departments of regulations to determine the text in detail.
But his elder brother Su Shi sued the court, saying that this post was for idleness.
At this moment, Wang Yu took a copy of Su Che's memorials and said to Wang Anshi: "Dad, you said that San Su's article was written by a political strategist. That's right. This article has thousands of words. In the end, all you can read is redundant officials. The words "redundant expenses" and "redundant soldiers" can be used."
"This is Fan Wenzhenggong's wisdom. How can it have any real insights? It's just dazzling words!"
"I really don't know what the officials mean by letting Su Ziyou join the Ordinance Department of the Third Division?"
Wang Anshi looked at Su Che's article and remained silent.
