Style: Historical Author: The Pursuit of HappinessWords: 3318Update Time: 24/01/11 18:22:38
Although the reform has just begun, the power struggle and distribution at the core of the reform often precede the reform.

This is also the usual behavior in officialdom.

If we talk about Yi's replacement, Wang Anshi has not thought so much about his retirement. However, his natural sensitivity to power and his fear of Zhang Yue made him decide to support Lu Huiqing.

Lao Wang will know if there is one as soon as he takes action.

The following is Lu Huiqing's rocket-like promotion speed.

Lu Huiqing was promoted from the crown prince to You Zhengyan.

The position of the library was changed from the original Jixian School Manager to Zhilong Tuge.

He was promoted from Chongzheng Hall Storyteller to Tianzhang Pavilion Lecturer by Jingyan.

This made Lu Huiqing almost qualified to fight against the Zhang Yue branch in his official position.

In terms of actual power, Lu Huiqing's third department, the Ordinance Department's ability to scrutinize texts, far exceeds Zhang Yue's current management of Gou Taixue.

After Lu Huiqing was promoted to be the lecturer of Tianzhang Pavilion, he became even more domineering. Even when he was lecturing in front of the palace, Lu Huiqing once had a disagreement with Zhang Yue and they got into an argument in front of the palace.

It was said to be an argument, but it was actually just a few sentences long. Lu Huiqing expressed it very implicitly, and Zhang Yue understood that this was a deliberate move.

In Zhang Yue's house the next day, Lu Huiqing took the initiative to come to see Zhang Yue, saying that the argument in the palace yesterday was just an unintentional act. Zhang Yue said: "Brother Jifu's words are serious. They are originally based on classics and meanings."

Lu Huiqing smiled and said: "Duzhi, you and I have been friends for many years. I, Old Lu, am not an ungrateful person. If it weren't for your guidance, I would not be a storyteller for Chongzheng Palace, so I am appreciated by the officials."

Zhang Yue said: "I don't remember what happened over the years, but Jifu you always mention it."

Zhang Yue sent Lu Huiqing out, and when he returned to the living room, he saw Qi Niang waiting for him.

Zhang Yue knew that his wife often had a habit. When officials from the imperial court visited her, she always liked to sit behind a screen and listen to her conversations with these officials.

Similar to Qi Niang in the officialdom, there is Su Shi's ex-wife, Mei Yaochen and his wife.

Zhang Yue is not a man who is jealous of his wife's ability. On the contrary, sometimes the Seventeenth Mother often talks to herself about how this official is doing after listening to it, and Zhang Yue remembers it deeply after listening to it.

Because what the Seventeenth Mother says is often very close to the truth.

When the official family who was still a prince came to visit, it was the Seventeenth Mother who urged Zhang Yue and the official family not to have a teacher-student relationship, so that Zhang Yue could avoid the fate of Wang Tao later.

After the Seventeenth Mother asked about the whole story, she said: "Guanren, you are talking about the official family. Why would Wang Shenzheng trust Lu Jifu?"

Zhang Yue said: "Because of his talent and support for the reform, to be fair, apart from Wang Shenzhen, there is no other official in the court who supports the new law who is more talented than Lu Jifu."

"No, sir, you are wrong."

Seventeenth Mother shook her head.

"What's wrong?" Zhang Yue asked.

Bianjing was still a little hot in the autumn, but I saw Seventeen Niang wearing light clothes, fanning herself with a lady's fan, and said with a slight smile: "It was the official who said that apart from the king's participation in politics, there are no people who support the new law." There is no one more talented than Lu Jifu."

Zhang Yue said: "I really can't think of anyone else besides him! Please give me some advice!"

The Seventeenth Mother smiled sweetly and said, "Of course it's you, the official."

Zhang Yue was startled and then laughed. Because of his later experience, he had always admired Wang Anshi and Lu Huiqing, but he did not expect that his wife thought that he was better than Lu Huiqing.

But having such a girl beside you who has eyes for you and who admires you is really the most satisfying thing for a man.

Seventeen Niang said: "The official's talents are better than Lu Jifu's, so he is jealous of you. He argued with you at the Sutra banquet just to show that he is not weaker than you in front of the officials."

"At the same time, Wang Shenzhen also supported him, otherwise he would not have moved several times in one day. He used this move to tell the officials that he supported Lu Jifu."

Zhang Yue said: "This is difficult. Madam, do you think I should fight with Lu Jifu? He has the help of Wang Shenzhen."

The Seventeenth Mother laughed and said, "Officials don't have to fight."

"Indisputable?"

The Seventeenth Mother nodded and said: "Lu Jifu agreed with the king to participate in politics, so he took a shortcut in his official career. However, he was promoted so quickly, which has both disadvantages and advantages. People are dissatisfied with this. I heard Su Ziyou compare him to Zhang Tang , Lu Qi's generation, if officials compete with him, they are lowering themselves. Even if you want to compete, you should also compete with gentlemen!"

"There is another level. Striving for power and profit will ultimately lead to poor results. It's like a student who doesn't study hard, but instead tries to cheat. Even if it's a fluke, how can the teacher not know about it? Even if he is in a high position in the future, he will not last long. Nowadays, officials Since the family has entrusted the officials to manage Gou Guozijian, the officials should be sincere in running him well, and a gentleman will not argue about shortcomings and shortcomings."

Zhang Yue was relieved as soon as Qi Niang opened the door.

Zhang Yue said with a smile: "Yes, if I have the time to compete with Lu Jifu, I might as well draw my eyebrows to my wife. It's a pity that Zhang Chang cannot be resurrected, otherwise I would like to compete with you in my eyebrow drawing skills."

Zhang Yue actually does some eyebrow painting for Qi Niang on weekdays, but if he wants to compete with Zhang Chang, it's just bragging.

But Zhang Chang was someone Zhang Yue admired very much. In this era, not every man could lay down his body and paint his wife's eyebrows.

Instead of scheming and vying for unattainable fame and fortune all day long, it would be better to take a step back and learn from Zhang Chang Huamei and enjoy the joy of the boudoir.

The couple chatted, and Shi Qi Niang walked to the bookcase and took out a few calligraphy and paintings bought from the antique shop.

Zhang Yue and Qi Niang appreciate calligraphy and painting. Qi Niang talks about where they will settle after Zhang Yue becomes an official.

Seventeen Niang plans to settle in Suzhou and Hangzhou. When talking about the scenery in the south of the Yangtze River, Seventeenth Mother can’t help but yearn for it.

Zhang Yue listened to the Seventeenth Mother's idea and silently decided to go to Jiangnan to serve as an official in the future. He would follow Ouyang Xiu's example and buy land there, and then live here forever.

Listening to the Seventeenth Mother looking at the landscape paintings and talking about the scenery in the south of the Yangtze River, Zhang Yue looked at the Seventeenth Mother and felt that Han women should be like this, with weak willows supporting the wind, green mountains and distant mountains, just like the Jiangnan landscape paintings, but there are also some differences. Lost to the man's firmness and insight.

At this moment, Zhang Yue couldn't help but feel longing for it. The couple were boating on the lake, looking through the mist and smoke from cooking stoves and fishing boats.

After listening to the seventeenth mother's undisputed opinion, Zhang Yue appealed to the officials and took over Guan Gou Guozijian. He was afraid that it would be difficult to take care of the banquet, so he asked the officials for permission to resign from the position of minister of Tianzhang Pavilion.

The officials refused and insisted that Zhang Yue serve as the minister of Tianzhang Pavilion.

Although he did not succeed in resigning, Zhang Yue made his attitude clear to Wang Anshi and Lu Huiqing by serving as the minister of Citian Zhangge.

Although Wang Anshi knew that Zhang Yue had taken a step back, he was still worried about Zhang Yue's complete control of the Imperial Academy, so he recommended Wang Wujiu to the officials, and Wang Ruyi and Wang Ruyi were the direct advisers to the Imperial Academy.

Wang Wujiu was Wang Anshi's student and Zeng Gong's brother-in-law, and he was married twice.

Wang Ruyi was recommended by Wang Anshi to the Regulations Department of the Third Department. Because he and Lu Huiqing disagreed on the new law, Wang Anshi sent him to the Imperial College.

Zhang Yue was not disgusted with this. If Wang Anshi completely trusted him to manage Gou Taixue, he would not mind inserting his confidants. Instead, Zhang Yue suspected that Wang Anshi had other motives.

Now that Wang Anshi has sent his own people, Zhang Yue is relieved.

The officials wanted to inspect the Imperial College near the winter solstice, and Zhang Yue was putting his own ideas into action to prepare for this important event.

As Zhang Yue took charge of Gou Guozijian, Lu Huiqing spent more time every day attending the lectures and banquets, and had full communication with the officials.

After Lu Huiqing lost all the methods, he took advantage of the situation and introduced the Qingmiao method.

This Qingmiao Fa is the government's direct loan to the people. Zhang Yue and Jun Shufa generally have different opinions on this, and believe that the court should not directly intervene in this matter. However, Wang Anshi is known to be stubborn, so he reserved his opinion.

But Zhang Yue didn't say anything, there were also a bunch of officials who opposed it and all lost.

Fan Chunren criticized Wang Anshi for being like Shang Yang. Su Shi was now serving as a promotion official in Kaifeng Prefecture, but he also wrote an article "On Shang Yang" to satirize Wang Anshi during his busy schedule.

Wang Anshi didn't hide it, so he wrote a poem and named it Shang Yang.

Since ancient times, people have been driven by sincerity, and a word is worth a hundred gold. Nowadays, no one can be better than Shang Yang. Shang Yang can order the government to be carried out.

After writing this poem, Fan Chunren and Liu Qi, who opposed Wang Anshi, were demoted one after another.

After Fu Bi heard about this, he asked Shangshu to dismiss the prime minister.

In the continuous heavy rain, the officials met with Sima Guang in Zizheng Hall to discuss Fu Bi's resignation.

The heavy rain outside the palace made people feel anxious. The officials looked at Sima Guang and asked: "Now that the rich Prime Minister has resigned from the post, who can replace him? Some people say that Chen Shengzhi, the Privy Councilor, can be promoted. What do the courtiers think of him?"

Sima Guang said: "Your Majesty, the Fujian people are cunning and the Chu people are easy-going. Now that the two ministers are from Fujian and the two political advisors are from Chu, they will inevitably cite people from the rural party. In this way, the customs of the world will be even more corrupted."

Zeng Gongliang and Chen Shengzhi, who is expected to replace Fu Bi's vacancy, are both from Fujian, and Wang Anshi and Zhao Wei are both from Jiangxi.

It can be seen that Sima Guang is really a black man in the area.

After listening to what Sima Guang said, the officials wondered why the people they wanted to use were so miserable.

The official explained: "Those who are promoted will be wise and know the surrounding affairs."

Sima Guang said: "Chen Shengzhi is talented, but he is not someone who cannot be taken away from him during important events. He must be controlled by loyal and upright people."

The officials knew that Sima Guang's intention was to retain Fu Bi instead of Chen Shengzhi.

The official said: "I have asked Mr. Fu to stay."

Sima Guang said: "The rich man left because he didn't say anything and was at odds with his colleagues."

In the same column was Wang Anshi. Faced with Sima Guang's accusations, the officials knew that they were indeed wrong. They believed in Wang Anshi so much that Fu Bi resigned in anger.

The official asked: "How is Wang Anshi?"

Sima Guang said: "Nowadays, people say that Wang Anshi is a treacherous person. I think it is too much, but he is also stubborn and ignorant of world affairs."

The officials knew that it was too early to promote Wang Anshi to replace Fu Bi, so they said: "Han Qi is loyal to the country and more virtuous than Fu Bi, but it is a pity that he is too strong."

Sima Guang heard that the official wanted to use Han Qi, and shook his head and said: "Han Qi is indeed loyal to the country, but this person cannot listen to different opinions. This is his shortcoming."

The officials heard that Sima Guang rejected all the candidates they proposed. For a while, there was no candidate, and the qualifications of the remaining people were far above the list.

At this moment, the official suddenly thought of Lu Huiqing and Zhang Yue.

When the officials mentioned Lu Huiqing in a casual tone, Sima Guang said very excitedly: "Huiqing is a traitor. Now Wang Anshi is slandered in the world, all because of this person."

"This time, His Majesty suddenly mentioned Hui Qing as the minister of Tianzhang Pavilion, and all the officials were dissatisfied."

The officials did not expect that Sima Guang would demote Lu Huiqing to a complete mess.
