Zhang Yue once heard his senior brother in his previous life say that when a girl likes you, there will be light in her eyes when she looks at you.
But how many couples let their loved ones watch the light in their eyes gradually fade away after getting married.
It is said that men have a soft spot for their first girl. Zhang Yue, the two generations above and below, only has one Shiqi Niang.
Therefore, after ten years of marriage, the couple can be said to be as good as each other.
As a wife, Qi Niang not only took care of Zhang Yue's internal and external affairs, but also provided powerful help in his career.
As his pillow person, Zhang Yue would often turn to Qi Niang to talk to him when he was confused. Compared to many couples who barely communicate with each other, Zhang Yue could not ask for more than a loving wife.
Zhang Yue feels that this is a lifelong responsibility and is very, very important to keep the light in his wife's eyes from being faded by the passage of time and trivial daily matters.
Cultivating one's moral integrity, regulating one's family, governing the country, and bringing peace to the world means harmonizing one's family. Let's not talk about governing the country.
Of course, this does not mean that one cannot govern a country if one forgets one's own interests for the sake of public service, but if the family is not harmonious, no matter how successful the career is, most people will not be happy in their lives.
Confucianism always considers you from your personal perspective first, and then the world.
That night Zhang Yue and Qi Niang were affectionate. Afterwards, the couple hugged each other and slept like glue.
The next day Zhang Yue went on duty at Sherenyuan.
Sherenyuan belongs to Zhongshu Officials. It is located in the southwest of Zhongshu Province and is very close to the court. It is only a few steps away from Zhongshu after going to the palace in the morning.
Sherenyuan is only adjacent to Zhongshu Zhichiyuan, which is the official residence of the post officials of Zhongshutang.
The post officials are said to be officials, but in fact they are all officials from the capital. There are three post officials in each of the five rooms of Zhongshu. However, with the advancement of the new law, Wang Anshi believed that the affairs of the Zhongshu Province were numerous and required first-class talents to be competent.
So Wang Anshi asked the emperor to set up prosecutors for the official affairs of the fifth house of Zhongshu and the prosecutors of all houses. The position is above the back hall of each room.
Wang Anshi's setup is similar to the three regulations departments, selecting elite soldiers and strong generals from all aspects.
The officials were still considering the matter and had not appointed officials in advance, but Wang Anshi had already ordered Zeng Bu to take charge of the household house, Li Qingchen to take charge of the official house, Li Chengzhi to take charge of the punishment house, Zhao Xun to take charge of the ceremonial house, and Deng Wan to take charge of the Kongmu house.
Let them immediately go into the fifth room to work for the prime minister's subordinates.
The three Ordinance Departments were abolished due to fierce opposition from Sima Guang and others. Wang Anshi asked Lu Huiqing to continue to be responsible for reform matters after sentencing Sinong Temple, and at the same time, he set up the Zhongshu Wufang Office to continue to strengthen the power of the prime minister.
In another time and space in history, he was very arrogant when he was inspecting the houses. He only reported official matters to Wang Anshi, and he was extremely overbearing to other people involved in politics. He said, "The prime minister (Wang Anshi) has already agreed. What do you do if you ask questions?" What, hurry up and sign it.
When Zhang Yue came to Sherenyuan, he happened to meet Zeng Bu and Li Chengzhi on the road.
The two of them knew that Zhang Yue was admitted to the House of Humanity today, and Zeng said respectfully, "Congratulations to the House of Masters for taking Xiyuan today."
Li Chengzhi said: "Today I will be a little phoenix, and tomorrow I will be a big phoenix!"
Zhang Yue smiled and said, "You're welcome."
After hearing this, Zeng Bu joked: "Feng Shi said so, and I am not a young phoenix!"
The three of them laughed after hearing this.
Zeng Bu and Li Chengzhi's remarks were from the Tang Dynasty. At that time, Zhongshu Province was to the west of the imperial city as it is now, so people who became Zhongshu She were called "entering the West Pavilion" and "leading the West Wall".
As for the Dafeng and Xiaofeng mentioned by Li Chengzhi, Zhongshu Province was called Phoenix Pool in the Tang Dynasty.
Therefore, the Hanlin bachelors are called Dafeng, while those from Zhongshushe are called Xiaofeng.
Zhang Yue couldn't help but think of the poem "He climbed to the Dragon and Tiger List for the first time, and arrived in the Phoenix Pond in ten years."
It refers to the pride I felt when I was a Jinshi in junior high school. Today I am waiting for the Jinshi (Dragon and Tiger Ranking), and ten years later I will meet the princes in the Phoenix Pond!
Zhang Yue has been in the Phoenix Pond for less than ten years now. He is a Xiaofeng today and a Dafeng tomorrow.
Previously, Li Chengzhi's Chufeng was self-deprecating. For example, the names of Old Dragon, Big Dragon, and Little Dragon in Bachelor of Longtuge have the same meaning.
Zhang Yue looked at the majestic palaces on all sides, and suddenly sighed from the bottom of his heart, when he was a junior high school scholar, did he think that I would be where I am today?
Suddenly, it was indeed ten years of work!
The two praised him, and Zhang Yue reciprocated the favor by saying: "Sooner or later, if you two come in and out of this place, you will become a three-character official with Zhang."
Zhizhigao is composed of three characters, so it is known as the three-character official.
Now when they heard Zhang Yue's words, they both said in unison: "Then let's take advantage of the good news."
From now on, the three of them will be working as Zhongshu, and there will be many opportunities for them to interact with each other. Zhang Yue expressed his approval of Zeng Bu and Li Chengzhi's auspicious words. After a hurried greeting between the two parties, Zhang Yue went to take office.
When they arrived at Sherenyuan, Zhang Heng had already arrived, and everyone and the officials greeted him again.
Cai Yanqing and Wang Yirou paid homage to Zhang Yue and Zhang Heng as Zhishe Renyuan.
Zhizhi Gaozhong will recommend the oldest person to be the cabinet chief, but the current cabinet chief is Qian Gongfu, who is in Taiyuan.
Before Zhang Yue arrived at Sherenyuan, Cai Yanqing had the final say in all matters.
After that, he officially took office. Is it a lot of work for a foreign production officer in one day? In fact, there are quite a few. In the previous dynasty, a foreign official said that he could write more than twenty edicts a day, but he was too busy and could not do the job, so he asked the official to remove him from office.
"I Have a Picture Book of Ghosts and Gods"
But the imperial edict is Wang Yan. As a scholar, if you can write Wang Yan, you can brag about it for a lifetime. Many officials have the habit of copying the imperial edict, and when they retire, they can brag among their husbands and elders.
It's like when a writer publishes an article in a newspaper, he keeps the newspaper at home.
The collection of essays passed down from the scholar-officials of the Song Dynasty all include the articles they wrote when they were in charge of making imperial edicts. The number is really quite large.
All foreign officials must prepare a collection of productions. This is an unwritten rule passed down from the time of the Tang Dynasty.
It happened that Cai Yanqing was on duty on that day, and Zhongshu wanted to remove an official from the hall. Cai Yanqing drafted the decree that year. Such prayers are held almost every day. According to Cai Yanqing, it must be done on a case-by-case basis and be brief and direct.
In other words, you are hardly given any chance to think, and you must write down the imperial edict in front of the audience.
Cai Yanqing said to Zhang Yue solemnly while writing: "In the past, when Ouyang Gong was making imperial edicts, his words and deeds were enough to help the country's prestige and declare the king's destiny."
"The most important thing is to be able to declare His Majesty's intention."
Zhang Yue and Zhang Heng both nodded and observed how the other wrote.
After Cai Yanqing skillfully finished writing the imperial edict, he said with a smile: "Recently, in addition to the urgent needs of officials in the Zhongshu Hall, the number of orders ranges from two to three to more than ten every day, and there is no rest for a day."
"But when it comes to writing imperial edicts, Academician Wang is very generous. I asked him for advice on my first day on duty, and you two can do the same."
That's right, in the official circles of the Song Dynasty, generals who wrote imperial edicts well were respected as generous writers.
Among the imperial edicts, Wang Gui is generally recognized as the best one. At that time, Wang Gui was trusted by Emperor Renzong because of his good writing skills. He was honored as a great writer and served as a Hanlin scholar for more than ten years.
Zhang Yue planned to come to Wang Gui in a few days to ask for advice on how to draft a imperial edict.
Cai Yanqing smiled and said: "However, if you don't ask for guidance from a famous teacher, there are still some rules to follow. For example, making the Zhonghai Ci and the brain Ci."
After listening to Cai Yanqing's explanation, Zhang Yue knew that the so-called Haici used for low-level officials was a fixed discussion and the same modern Ci, which was all routine.
However, when it is used to worship important officials of the fourth rank or above, Nao Ci must be used instead. As the name suggests, Nao Ci is about using your brain to think, and it must be different from other writings.
At the same time, there are also special words for specialized middle and senior officials.
Of course, whether it is Hai Ci or Nao Ci, it is not difficult for officials like Zhang Yue and Zhang Heng who were born in the first place.
After staying in Sherenyuan for half a day, Zhang Yue returned home.
There is a little friend waiting for him at home.
When he saw Peng Jingyi again, he had already taken a shower and changed clothes. Although he was not in high spirits, he was no longer as gloomy as yesterday.
"Saburo."
Zhang Yue said: "We have been apart for many years. I have invited you to come to Bianjing several times to find me, but you have not come. You have not heard from me in the past two years. Why?"
Peng Jingyi said: "It's hard to describe it in a word."
Zhang Yue smiled and said: "I have a lot of skills, let me listen to you slowly."
It turns out that Peng Jingyi's life was not bad, he worked as an official in Pucheng, and later he went to Laocheng Camp to serve as a section-level officer.
As a section-level prisoner with good food and wine to serve him, Peng Jingyi lived a comfortable life. Zhang Yue invited him to come to Beijing, but he was reluctant to live in peace in Pucheng, let alone go all the way to Bianjing, so he did not go.
Later, Peng County Captain passed away. Peng Jingyi had no backing and couldn't deal with the new supervisor, so he thought of quitting his job and joining Zhang Yue.
Traveling from south to north, the place was not peaceful. Peng Jingyi was robbed on the Huai River and lost all his belongings. Fortunately, a fisherman and his daughter took him in and saved his life.
Thanks to the fisherman's father and daughter taking him in, Peng Jingyi lived in Huai River for more than half a year, and even married the fisherman's daughter and had children.
Peng Jingyi thought, forget it, stop going to the capital to look for Zhang Yue in search of wealth, and live his own life there forever.
However, the days of fishing were very poor, and officials came to exploit him from time to time. One day, Peng Jingyi couldn't help but injured an official who was urging taxes. As a result, the government issued arrest documents and arrested people everywhere.
Peng Jingyi loyally did not leave his wife behind, and fled with his family all the way to the capital to join Zhang Yue.
This is the reason why there has been no news from him for three years.
Zhang Yue couldn't help laughing after hearing this legendary experience of Peng Jingyi: "You, you, you are so brave. Are you your sister-in-law? You didn't even bring her to let me see you."
Peng Jingyi smiled and said: "Country women have never seen the world, so they are afraid that there are no rules."
Zhang Yue said: "What's the matter? I'm not from the countryside, so how can I let people live outside."
Zhang Yue immediately ordered Mother Chen to send two maids to deliver some clothes to the fisherman woman first.
Zhang Yue asked again: "Have you given me a name?"
Peng Jingyi said: "It was done locally. She saved my life. She will be my best friend in this life. But I haven't reported it to my family yet, for fear that my family won't accept it."
Zhang Yue praised: "This is good. You should repay your kindness. A man earns his fame by himself. When you become successful in the future, your wife will follow your lead."
After a pause, Zhang Yue said: "Take her home!"
Peng Jingyi nodded gratefully.
Ps: Thank you to the leader of joyii for the double alliance, and thank you again to Ye Yushi, prophet, and Cao Mianzi book friend for the double alliance.
