When he first entered the official career, Zhang Yue repeatedly told Zhang Zhi that in government, one should not only pursue the will of one's superiors, but also be aware of the people's sentiments, and serve as an official in accordance with one's own conscience and not hinder one's official career.
Zhang Zhi listened to Zhang Yue's words very seriously at that time.
However, when he got to the officialdom, he forgot all Zhang Yue's words. When the people's livelihood in Longzhou was suffering, he ignored his own safety and proposed a fortune to make Shen Qi rise.
Now that he learned that Wu Kui had been wronged, he did not hesitate to offend a military envoy and a judge who was a Xuanfu envoy.
Doing the right thing in Zhang Zhi's heart is more important than anything else.
Seeing Zhang straight up, he shouted back, making Fan Chunren and Wang Guangyuan angry and annoyed.
Fan Chunren also felt that Wu Kui was unjustly accused, but he did not advocate the use of violent means to resolve the matter, fearing that it would intensify the conflict. Wang Guangyuan knew that Wu Kui was unjustly accused, but he should safeguard the dignity of the Xuanfu Division and the Economic and Lue Appeasement Envoy, and advocated strict handling of the matter. thing.
Zhang Kai felt that Wu Kui had been wronged and felt that it must be resolved with gentle means.
Only Zhang Zhi decided to appease the morale of the army by redressing Wu Kui's grievances. This is exactly what the three of them admit in their hearts, but are unwilling to mention it in person.
Seeing Zhang Zhi insisting, Fan Chunren and Wang Guangyuan took a step back. Zhang Kai asked in a conciliatory manner: "Why don't we report this matter to the Prime Minister and let him make a decision?"
Fan Chunren and Wang Guangyuan nodded and agreed.
Zhang Kai was a little surprised, but also a little happy. He glanced at Zhang Zhi and thought, this stupid young man can really make things happen if he straightens things up.
So Zhang Zhi wrote a letter directly in court and handed it over to Han Jiang, who had returned to Yanzhou.
Han Jiang is accepting Wang Anshi's letter.
But he said that Han Jiang, Wang Anshi, and Wang Gui paid homage to the prime minister. Wang Anshi wrote a poem to Han Jiang.
At night, I opened the golden key and issued an imperial edict to resign my ministers, and I drew the emperor's hair from the imperial court. Xu Xin's family valued Confucianism and appointed three people to the list at the same time.
The last sentence refers to three people who were admitted together at the same time, referring to Wang Anshi, Han Jiang, and Wang Gui. They were admitted to the imperial examination together, but now they are serving as prime ministers together.
Han Jiang recalled the time when the three of them were nominated for the gold medal, and now they are worshiping the prime minister together. She suddenly feels that more than half of her life has passed, the years have been wasted, and the time to make achievements is running out. It happens that they are still on the same list. Two, three or four.
In fact, Han Jiang knew that he was using Fan Chunren and Wang Anshi was angry with him, but he wrote this letter to, firstly, reconcile with him, and secondly, to encourage himself to capture Hengshan.
Han Jiang also had his own intentions in using Fan Chunren.
Wang Anshi revised the exemption law by judging Zeng Bu of Sinong Temple.
The immunity law was Han Jiang's political power, but Wang Anshi revised it without consulting Han Jiang.
Han Jiang originally did not advocate collecting the exemption money and exemption money from the lower-class households, but Zeng Bu added this clause.
He believed that Wang Anshi's move deviated from the original intention of the exemption law. Originally, the exemption was to reduce the burden on the people, but this move made it worse and turned it into a way to make money.
Han Jiang felt that Wang Anshi had gone too far with his reforms, so he decided to instruct Shen Qi, the transfer envoy, to boycott the revised exemption law in Shaanxi.
At the same time, Han Jiang also believed that since Wang Anshi presided over the reform, many laws have been implemented for a period of time, but the voices of opposition have never stopped.
Han Jiang also heard that the queen mothers of the two palaces also stood against Wang Anshi's reform.
In the second year of Xining, Wang Anshi passed a law to cut down the clan and appoint officials, which greatly reduced the treatment of the clan and harem.
After Fan Zhongyan's reform failed, Lu Yijian became Prime Minister and generously rewarded royal family members and concubines to win people's hearts.
However, when Wang Anshi became the Prime Minister, he did the opposite and reduced the rewards of the harem. Therefore, the empress dowagers of the two palaces and others complained a lot about Wang Anshi.
Han Jiang felt that the reform was almost done now. As long as Xixia was determined, as the prime minister of Zhaowen, he would invite Sima Guang, Fan Zhen, Lu Gongzhu and others back. In this way, the court situation would be stable and he could return to the throne. On the right track, it will not cause the differences in the temple to become increasingly serious.
Han Jiang also meant this when he used Fan Chunren.
He wanted to seek support from Sima Guang and others in the opposition.
Han Jiang was really surprised when she received the letter from Zhang Zhi handed over by Zhang Kai.
When Wu Kui's men tried to force him to release Wu Kui, they really frightened him. A group of soldiers actually dared to kidnap Prime Minister Zhao Wen.
Han Jiang treated the scholar-bureaucrats as courteously and politely as he had done in the past, but he looked down upon the soldiers.
After almost intensifying the mutiny, Han Jiang just gave up temporarily and waited until Hengshan had the results before pursuing the case more seriously.
Now that Zhang Zhizhi's words have attracted his attention, has he really been deceived by Wang Wenliang?
Han Jiang thought, who is this Zhang Zhi?
The provincial yuan in the fourth year of Zhiping.
Zhang Yue's nephew.
I heard that when he was in Longzhou, even Sima Guang admired him very much.
This Zhang Yue is his right-hand man, and it is like winning Sima Guang's support through this matter, which is very good for his reputation as a scholar.
When Han Jiang was planning to ask Zhang Kai to cooperate with Zhang Zhi to investigate the matter in detail, suddenly Lu Dafang and Cai Que came to report: "Commander Xuan, Luo Wu has won a great victory!"
Han Jiang was overjoyed when he heard this. Zhong'e really lived up to his expectations and was already a great achievement.
It turned out that when Zhong'e sent troops to Lawu City, the journey was smooth. First, Funing Fort won without a fight and surrendered to the Tibetan tribe.
Then they captured Lawu City in four battles, beheading more than 1,200 Xixia army leaders and capturing more than 1,400 prisoners.
Han Jiang was overwhelmed with joy when he saw the military report.
Lu Dafang said: "Commander Xuan must place Zhong'e in Lawu City to cover the grain road."
Han Jiang nodded. Capturing Lawu City by surprise was only the first step. The next step was to establish a firm foothold in Lawu City. Only then could Hengshan be truly captured.
Cai Quedao: "Commander Xuan, when Zhong'e captured Lawu City, he found that there was a lot of millet. You can order the people who will follow to bring less food and more tools for building."
"But it takes thirty-five days to go back and forth from Suide City to Lawu City. Considering that Zhong'e's army has 20,000 cavalry, the food they eat every day is huge. How can we supply it? What if Xixia cuts off my food route when I build the city? Then the success will fall short.”
Han Jiang nodded. Cai Que was indeed very resourceful and took a lot of pressure off of him.
Han Jiang said: "The matter of the grain road should really be considered. If the Xia people take the opportunity to gather their troops to attack, how will they respond?"
Lu Dafang said: "As long as Zhang Duzhi can cross the Yellow River, approach Lingzhou and attract the Xixia army, our army can successfully build the city!"
Han Jiang nodded and said: "Shan. I have something to deal with here. It was reported by Zhang Duzhi's nephew Zhang Zizheng."
Han Jiang immediately spoke to Cai Que and Lu Dafang.
Lu Dafang said: "Commander Xuan, this Wu Kui incited the soldiers to rebel and besieged Commander Xuan. If such a person is released, where will the prestige of the Xuanfu Division be in the future?"
Han Jiang asked: "But what if I really blame someone wrongly?"
Lu Dafang said: "I would rather kill him by mistake this time."
Han Jiang said: "That's all we have to do."
Cai Queze said on the side: "Commander Xuan, Qingzhou is an important place. If it is true as Zhang Zizheng said and there are soldiers plotting to rebel, our army will fail to capture Luowu."
After hearing this, Han Jiang thought for a while and said, "It's reasonable to be honest. You can write a letter to Zhang Zhifu for me, and he will have full authority to handle the matter! If there is any grievance, it should be redressed immediately, without asking me."
