Gao Zunyu was not a vegetarian. When Zhang Yue, Wang Shao, and Cai Yanqing excluded him, his counterattack also began.
After Wang Shao learned that Yuan Zhongtong had been arrested, he immediately rushed to Lintao from Tongyuan Army overnight.
Zhang Yue saw Wang Shao's bloodshot eyes and knew at a glance that Yuan Zhongtong had been arrested and his handle was completely pinched.
Zhang Yueping stepped back and personally boiled a pot of tea for Wang Shao.
Zhang Yue said: "I have heard about this matter. If Gao Zunyu hands Yuan Zhongtong to Cai Yunshi or Lu Jinglue, there is still a chance that the matter will turn around. The worst thing is that he will directly escort Yuan Zhongtong to the capital. In this way, everything will not be covered up. Living."
Cai Yanqing, Lu Gongbi and Zhang Yue all belong to the civil service class. Lu Gongbi is also Zhang Yue's in-laws. It is easier for everyone to talk to each other, and a circle of officials to protect each other is indispensable.
Gao Zunyu wanted to overthrow Wang Shao with this, it was like a dream.
Wang Shao nodded and said: "I think Gao Zunyu is not a fool. He understands this. He probably escorts people directly to the capital."
"Then it's impossible! Zichun, drink tea!"
Wang Shao looked at the hot tea, gritted his teeth and said, "Please help Mr. Wang maintain it! Mr. Wang is very grateful!"
Zhang Yue saw Wang Shao being so humble, and smiled slightly: "Zichun, why don't you write to Wang Xianggong and ask him to help you with this?"
"What?"
Wang Shao...
Wang Shao's eyes sharpened at this moment. It turned out that Zhang Yue already knew about his private dealings with Wang Anshi and Wang Yu and his son.
That's right, Zhang Yue single-handedly promoted Wang Shao to Gu Wei, and he has since turned around. Later, Zhang Yue recommended him to Han Jiang. Wang Shao thought he had reached the level of the dignified Prime Minister Zhaowen.
But hasn't Han Jiang been dismissed as prime minister now?
Therefore, Wang Shao could not help but want to find another mountain, so he secretly communicated with Wang Anshi and reported to him everything about the Yuanbian Economic and Strategy Department.
After Zhang Yue found out about this, he was certainly not happy in his heart.
It is very taboo to report something beyond the level. No one wants to have a spy next to them. Moreover, Wang Shao still received the favor from Zhang Yue. This is simply the behavior of a young person.
When Cai Ting was working as a writer under Fan Zhongyan, he secretly reported Fan Zhongyan's affairs to Lu Yijian. This was a very disgraceful act in the eyes of the scholar-bureaucrats.
Therefore, even though Cai Ting was very talented and accomplished such great achievements as the Battle of Dashun City, he was never promoted because there was no one in the court.
The reason why Cai Ting has no one in the court is because he has a bad reputation.
Hearing Zhang Yue suddenly mention this matter, Wang Shao had nothing to say. Zhang Yue glanced at Wang Shao. If the other person had been Wang Shao, and if the second person dared to do this, Zhang Yue would definitely be expelled and never hired.
But who calls the other party Wang Shao?
In fact, this is also normal. When you meet a lot of people in the world, you will find that many very talented people often have shocking shortcomings in other aspects.
This is why when we look at people in history, we use filters to look at people from a distance, and each person is equally impressive.
But when you get closer and take a magnifying glass, you will find that many things are just shattered on the ground.
Therefore, don’t take your interactions with others too seriously. When looking at people, always look at their strengths and yourself at the shortcomings. Especially those in a superior position are more tolerant than others. Who doesn’t have some flaws, just use their strengths. ….
Seeing that Wang Shao had not yet fully repented, Zhang Yue continued to hammer away: "Zichun, in the past Han Xin asked for directions and cut down the woodcutter, but people praised him for his talent as a general."
Wang Shao couldn't help but look ugly after hearing Zhang Yue's metaphor of asking for directions and killing a woodcutter.
"Zichun, you certainly have Han Xin's talent, but the most valuable thing about our friendship is understanding. If you talk to Wang Xianggong, you should at least let me know in advance, otherwise it will easily lead to estrangement."
Wang Shao lowered his head and said: "I don't dare to be a lower official... I will never dare to write letters to Xianggong Wang again after I become an official."
Zhang Yue said: "If you suddenly didn't write, it would be suspicious. Especially now that this matter has happened, you'd better explain it clearly. And Yuan Zhongtong knows what you are doing. You need me to tell you, so that I can help you in the future!" "
Seeing the hesitation in Wang Shao's eyes, Zhang Yue smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, Zichun just thinks about it again. I still have official duties..."
Wang Shao immediately said: "How dare Wang have anything to hide in front of the manager..."
So Wang Shao explained everything in detail. After listening to this, Zhang Yue understood what it means to weigh only four taels if it doesn't go on the scale. Once it goes on the scale, it won't stop even if it weighs a thousand kilograms.
Wang Shao is really brave. If all these things are exposed, not to mention Wang Shao himself, he will be implicated and suffer a lot.
Wang Shao saw that Zhang Yue's face was getting uglier and uglier after hearing this, and he quickly said: "Qi Jing Lue, now you don't use people for personal favors. How can the people below be willing to die for you? Wang does have selfish motives, but he is also a Jing Lue Xi." He’s grand plan leaves no room for himself.”
Zhang Yue thought to himself, if you don't leave room for yourself, how can you leave room for yourself? Now you are asking me to wipe your ass.
Wang Anshi didn't do anything for you, but you treated him with all your heart. I've been wiping your butt all day, and you actually told people about it without telling me?
Although I warned myself to be tolerant, I couldn't mention this matter as it would make me angry.
Zhang Yue said: "This matter is too big. You said you gave Yuan Zhongtong 5,000 guan of salt banknotes to run the city affairs department before. You knew that he embezzled 1,600 guan of salt notes for his own use but tolerated it and refused to repay it. What should he do now when he supplies Gao Zunyu?" ?」
"There is also the embezzlement of official loan money and the embezzlement of Tibetan money to buy horses and salt, which involves tens of thousands of dollars. Not only you, but also Huang Cha and even Wang Junwan are involved in this matter. Once we are found out, How many civil and military officials on Xihe Road will be uprooted? I will also be charged with lax supervision."
Wang Shao was also disgraced, and he got angry and said: "Many of these things were done before Jing Lue came to Xihe. I, Wang Shao, do the work alone and shoulder the responsibility. The worst is to take away my official position and dismiss me from my position."
"Remove your official position? Do you think you can blackmail the imperial court? Without you, there will be no second person in the imperial court who can open up Xihe River?" Zhang Yue scolded Wang Shao. Wang Shao also blushed and did not dare to say anything back. .
Seeing that Wang Shao was frightened, Zhang Yue softened his tone slightly and said, "If Gao Zunyu insists on bringing this matter to the official family, no one can protect you. Now you have no choice but to capture the two states of He and Tao and capture the wood alive." Only by conquering can you atone for your sins!"
Wang Shao said: "But the training of soldiers and horses will take another three months, and Gao Zunyu is obstructing it. By the time Yuan Zhongtong arrives in the capital, it will be too late to regret anything."…
Zhang Yue smiled slightly and said confidently: "Don't worry..."
Wang Shao asked with a sharp look: "What does Jinglue mean by making Yuan Zhongtong... unable to reach the capital?"
Zhang Yue glanced at Wang Shao. Wang Shao was so ruthless, and he would kill his confidants at will.
Zhang Yue said: "Gao Zunyu is not a fool, how could he give us this opportunity? He must have interrogated Yuan Zhongtong, written a confession, and then sent his confidants to Beijing along the way. If you dare to rob and kill him on the way, even if you succeed, , it also caused a grudge in the hearts of the officials and laid the foundation for death."
Wang Shao nodded, this matter is indeed too risky.
"Don't worry, this Yuan Zhongtong must have taken the Qinfeng Road, passing through Qinzhou. This Qinfeng Road Lu Jinglue (Lu Gongbi) is my in-law, and Qinzhou Tongjian Han Shipu (Han Zhongyan) was on the same boat with me. Perhaps Yuan Zhongtong was robbed No, but if it’s delayed for ten days and a half on the road, that’s no big deal.”
"Even in the capital, if Gao Zunyu wants to file an imperial complaint, he still has to go through the process! When the time comes... it will take a few more days, but after it is dealt with... no, it is best not to wait until it is dealt with. The good news will be sent to the capital. go."
Having said this, Zhang Yue showed a faint smile, and Wang Shao also relaxed a little. How can he achieve the result he wants quietly through legitimate means? Isn’t this what our civil servants are good at?
Having said this, Zhang Yue said: "Let Gao Zunyu go through this process slowly, but it is better to rely on others than to rely on yourself. You must train your troops and horses within two months at the latest. If you do not capture Mu Zheng alive, you will be able to recapture the river." If you are a state, then don’t mention anything!”
Wang Shao immediately patted his chest and said, "Please don't worry, Jing Lue, this matter is on my side. If Mu Zheng is not captured alive, Wang will come and see you!"
Zhang Yue smiled and said: "Then I will drink tea instead of wine and wish you a pure horse."
success! "
"good!"
Wang Shao put down his tea cup and said with a bitter voice, "How dare Gao Zunyu do this. I will never be the same as him in the future."
Zhang Yue couldn't help but frown when he heard that Wang Shao and Gao Zunyu had a falling out. If the two fell out and fell out before the expedition against Mu Zheng, it would be very detrimental to future wars.
Zhang Yue said: "Zichun, if I were you I would never do this."
Wang Shao said bitterly: "Jing Lue, I really can't swallow this anger. Gao Zunyu has said this again and again. Wang Shao is arrogant."
Zhang Yue said: "Can't swallow it? Zichun, it's better to be angry than to live up to your promise, and to fall out of favor is better to stand up. Whether you succeed in revenge or not, you are harming others and yourself. Instead of letting Gao Zunyu know how powerful you are, it is better to capture Hezhou first and capture him alive. Wouldn't it be better if he had to come to congratulate you at the time of your victory?"
Wang Shao said: "I know that the classics advise me to put the overall situation first... But it is better for Master Zhiyuan to advise me on this matter. I, Wang Shao, am not a person who meditates on Zen and enlightens the Tao, but a person who draws his sword and sees blood!"
Zhang Yue laughed when he heard this.
Wang Shao said angrily: "Jing Lue is laughing at me again."
Zhang Yue smiled and said: "I am not laughing at you but at me, Zichun. I suddenly remembered that when I was studying in Shufa, I have suffered a lot of difficulties and embarrassments now. But I think, instead of being in trouble with those who make things difficult for me, To make the other party restrain themselves, it is better to forget it and let the other party continue to make things difficult."
"Forget it?" Wang Shao knew that Zhang Yue was not an open-minded person.
Zhang Yue said: "Yeah, forget it, I kept climbing up like this, working hard to study and study, and my horizons broadened. I only had my own future and prospects in my eyes. Every time you go to a higher level, you will feel better at the beginning." The people who made things difficult for you will now be the ones applauding you.”
"What I fear most is that after so many years, you are still going around in circles, unchanged."
Wang Shao was silent for a moment. Zhang Yue knew that the other party understood what he said, but anyone like them who had climbed up from the bottom would understand.
For example, Zhang Yu, the old governor who looked down on him at the beginning, would Zhang Yue still be angry with them now?
What happened many years ago has long been forgotten.
Wouldn't it be nice to use your own growth and broadening of your horizons instead of pretending to be slapped in the face? .
