March in Xizhou is the time when everything returns to spring.
Although the spring here is earlier than that in Jiangnan, the scenery is quite similar to that in Jiangnan, except that the climate is colder than that in Jiangnan.
As Zhang Yuelai lived for a long time, he gradually got used to living here. It's just that Zhang Muzhi has just arrived and has finally gotten used to the climate of Xihe Road, but he has to leave now.
The spring breeze blows, and there is a saying that the spring breeze is proud, but Zhang Muzhi is not proud at all at this moment. The spring breeze was blowing the white hair on his temples, making him feel that the scene was very bleak.
Zhang Muzhi held the edict issued by the officials to reprimand and demote the officials and read it for a long time. At this moment, his heart felt cold and he was about to talk to a few close aides to relieve his emotions.
However, when Zhang Muzhi saw everyone, he hesitated to speak. After a while, one person took the initiative and said: "Your Majesty, I received a letter from my family yesterday saying that my grandfather is unwell. I want to go back to my hometown to visit, so I came here to say goodbye to you!"
After this person finished speaking, several other staff members also said goodbye to Zhang Muzhi because something suddenly happened at home.
Zhang Muzhi's face twitched, and then he said calmly and calmly: "It's okay, after all, it's a master-slave battle. I may not be able to make a comeback in the future. I'll ask you all to help me when the time comes. You go and take care of each other. Withdrawing ten coins will fulfill our kindness."
Zhang Muzhi originally thought that his words would win the gratitude of several staff members, but they all bowed their hands, said thank you indifferently, took the money and left... Then Zhang Muzhi exploded with anger.
Not long after, the governor who had been with him for many years reported to him the fact that several of his staff had left with a pat on the back. Zhang Muzhi said: "You can see people's hearts over time, and your horse power can be seen from a distance. People like this who follow people's influence will leave as soon as they leave."
From being sentenced to being demoted to being a prisoner of liquor tax in Hebei Province, his situation can be said to have plummeted. But Zhang Muzhi is also a character, and he can afford it and let it go.
But as soon as Zhang Muzhi got up the next day, he realized that most of his servants had dispersed, and most of them left without saying goodbye. So much so that there were no more people to carry luggage.
"This is the end of the world of human relations!" Zhang Muzhi sighed for a moment, and then Du Guan said, "Sir, someone from the Economic Affairs Department is here."
Zhang Muzhi said: "What are you doing? Are you here to humiliate me?"
A man named Lu Guang came in, saluted Zhang Muzhi and said, "I know that Ti Xing is leaving today. Mr. Jing Lue said that he was originally going to see me off, but I can't get away due to official duties, so please forgive me for Ti Xing."
"Mr. Jinlue didn't know whether everything was going well on the way to Tiexing, so the Jinglue Department sent a team of soldiers here to listen to Tiexing's orders. In addition, he also ordered the villain to give the master a hundred salt notes for him to spend on the way."
"Oh?" Zhang Muzhi was a little stunned.
Xizhou Zhangyue was patrolling Lintao City with Wang Shao.
Wang Shao was very excited and said to Zhang Yue: "I heard that Gao Zunyu was walking around a few days ago, trying to contact the old generals in the army, and talk to them about his intention to squeeze out the manager and me."
"But after learning the news of Zhang Muzhi's departure, Gao Zunyu complained of illness for more than ten days in a row, and did not leave the house. He locked himself in the house and drank alcohol."
Zhang Yue said: "I knew about this earlier. Didn't Gao Zunyu use wine to relieve his sorrow? I was worried that he didn't have enough wine, so I specially ordered someone to buy several jars of fine Chunqu wine from Qinzhou for him."
Wang Shao laughed and said, "Isn't this a bit of entertainment?"...
Zhang Yue smiled.
"Then why did the manager give Zhang Muzhi a hundred coins?"
Zhang Yue said: "That's not true. This person followed Gao Zunyu and did evil. It's really hateful, but I don't hold any grudge against him. Now that he has been demoted three levels in a row, it can be regarded as a cause and a result."
"There was a gambling stall in my hometown in Jianzhou. After the gambler set up a trap to defraud the gamblers' money, they would always give away hundreds or even thousands of money to them, so as not to have to pay for their return trip."
"This is to keep a thin line in doing things, so that we can meet again in the future. To kill them all, and even humiliate them in the end, why bother? This is also to kill your own path."
Wang Shao thought to himself that he had obviously offended someone and was afraid of revenge, so he did this and arranged this excuse.
Wang Shao thought so in his heart, but on his face he looked a little thoughtful and said: "Jinglue's words, I have learned from you."
Zhang Yueyou
Said: "Cai Tianshen has been summoned back to the capital by the official family. I heard that he wrote a letter and ordered someone to send it to the capital, but he did not give it to anyone else, but forwarded it to his father Cai Shuxiang."
Wang Shao said: "It's not a good thing to say."
Zhang Yue said: "What's the obstacle? I heard that Prime Minister Cai has always been opposed to our advance into Hezhou, but now the situation in the court has turned to our advantage, and he has stopped talking now. Look, among the several ministers, Mr. Wang At the beginning, he supported the opening of the border with Xihe River, and now that we have implemented the art of war, he supports it even more. There is also Prime Minister Wen, who has always opposed the opening of the border with Xihe River, but his son is now on our side, and he has gradually insisted on it. bingo."
Wang Shao listened silently.
Zhang Yue continued: "Of course, you may not be able to change your words for the time being, but at least it will not cause any hindrance. In addition, Li Xian has returned to Beijing to report. He told the court what he wanted, and he will try his best to remove the restraints between you and me, so that you and I can Concentrate on conquering Hezhou with your life."
Wang Shao said happily: "This is great. I'm not afraid of Mu Zheng or Dong Fei, but I am afraid of Gao Zunyu, Zhang Muzhi and others. If there are more people like this, I think we should stop doing anything."
Zhang Yue's memorial made things worse. He not only drove away Zhang Muzhi and Cai Tianshen, but also made the officials see the disadvantages of duplication of power. Zhang Muzhi was punished, and Cai Tianshen was dismissed and transferred. It was to reduce the restriction on Zhang Yue.
At the same time, in order to expand support for Zhang Yue, the officials decided to officially allocate the military quota of Jiedu to the Tao Army in Xizhou Town. This meant that Xizhou officially became Jiedu State, and Zhang Yue could also add troops according to the configuration of Jiedu State. Official.
The administrative and military ranks of the Song Dynasty all corresponded one-to-one. For example, Xizhou originally corresponded to Wu Shengjun, but now it was changed to Zhentao Army, while the military rank of Qinzhou was Tianshui Army.
As a defender, Zhang Yue knew Xizhou, but the officials below him all served in the Zhentao Army Jiedu Envoy Department. This felt a bit strange. The reason was that these were the legacy of the Five Dynasties.
However, there are exceptions. For example, in Jingzhao Mansion, the military rank is Yongxing Army, but the defender is not called Zhi Jingzhao Mansion, but is called Zhi Yongxing Military Mansion.
After the military quota was issued, the imperial court's establishment also came. Zhang Yue was engaged in the establishment of a state school and at the same time expanded his team.
There were very few Han people in Xizhou. The purpose of establishing a state school was, firstly, to allow the children of generals to study here, and secondly, to allow the Tibetan tribes in Xizhou who had submitted to the Song Dynasty to send their children to study in the state school. ….
That's right, both a student and a hostage.
Speaking of hostages, the Song Dynasty opened hostage collection institutions in Qinzhou, Weizhou, Qingzhou and other border areas.
The original purpose of the Nazhiyuan was to target the capricious Tibetan tribes near the Song Dynasty, take their children as hostages, imprison them for life, and make them surrender to the Song Dynasty forever.
Zhang Yue changed the Nazhi Academy into a state school, and humanized the Xizhou tribe, allowing the Nazhi children to return to the tribe to visit the tribe every two years.
At the same time, he taught the children of the Tibetan tribe to study like Zhou Xue, and if they succeeded to the position of chief in the clan in the future, they would be given official positions.
The most important thing is to read Chinese books and understand Han rituals, and at the same time practice martial arts and battle formations.
For example, Xixia's imperial army, Yuyuan Liubanzhi, recruited the powerful children of various tribes into the army, so it was also called the Proton Army.
Zhang Yue asked the nearby Tibetan tribes to have one person for every five or six hundred tribes. So there were seven or eight hundred people who could study, teach, and train in formations on weekdays. When necessary, they could still be a new force.
Zhang Yue has already chosen the candidate for the professor of state studies, brother Cheng Yi and Cheng Hao.
Cheng Hao had returned to Luoyang because of his disagreement with Wang Anshi. According to the historical trajectory, he should have lectured in Luoyang together with his younger brother Cheng Yi and founded Neo-Confucianism, which had a profound impression on later generations. However, Zhang Yue invited him to come out again.
As the saying goes, educating one's own people is not a skill, but educating foreigners is the real skill.
Cheng Hao thought twice but did not accept Zhang Yue's offer and continued to teach in Luoyang, but Cheng Yi accepted Zhang Yue's offer.
But although Cheng Yi had no official status, he had to serve as a teaching assistant in the state school.
In addition to Er Cheng, Zhang Yue of course also thought of Zhang Zai, a famous Kansai player.
Zhang Zai was hired by Zhang Yue as the direct lecturer of Taixue to teach martial arts, but Zhang Yue was dismissed by Wang Anshi. Zhang Zai repeatedly approached Wang Anshi to ask Zhang Yue to return to the Imperial Academy to preside over it. At the same time, he and his brother Zhang Jian challenged Wang Anshi.
The reform has been criticized frequently.
Wang Anshi couldn't stand Zhang Zai's brothers, so he demoted them both. Zhang Zai was demoted to the county magistrate, but he did not take office. Instead, he returned to his hometown in Hengqu to write books and establish his studies.
After Zhang Zai accepted Zhang Yue's invitation, he, like Cheng Hao, did not go to Xihe. He said that he was old and might not be able to withstand such a long journey, so he recommended two of his favorite students to Zhang Yue.
Zhang Yue was also a little disappointed with Cheng Hao and Zhang Zai's refusal. However, Zhang Yue also knew that a professor of state studies was far inferior to the direct lectures of the Imperial College.
However, Zhang Zai is famous all over the world in Guanzhong, and he has countless students. For example, the three famous brothers Lu Dajun all came from Zhang Zai's disciples.
Although Lu Dajun and other brothers have now become officials, the two students recommended by Zhang Zai this time are not ordinary people. They are You Shixiong and Zhong Shiji respectively.
You Shixiong was a Jinshi in the first year of Zhiping. He later served as the chief minister of Yizhou and joined the army. Zhang Yue recruited him as a professor of state studies in Xizhou.
Another person, Zhong Jianzhong, was the grandson of the famous general Zhong Shiheng. In later generations, he had another name, Zhong Shidao.
He served in the third class because of his ancestor's military merit, and after passing the examination, he changed his qualification from martial arts to literature.
After Zhang Yue heard this, he enlisted Zhongshidao to serve as a military official in Xizhou Town. .
In addition to recommending officials, Zhongshidao also takes care of the teaching of state studies, specializing in teaching martial arts to the protons of the Tibetan tribe.
At the same time, Zhang Yue also promoted Su Che to be the Secretary of Jiedu Zhang of the Tao Army in Xizhou Town. The Secretary of Jiedu Zhang is located at the second level among the fourth and seventh levels of selection.
After Zhang Yue was demoted by Wang Anshi, Su Che was also implicated. Later, it was Zhang Fangping who came forward to accept Su Che as a professor of state studies in Chenzhou, where he worked.
But how could Zhang Yue forget Su Che and Zhang Zai who had gone through hardships with him and been implicated?
If you don’t promote them, you should also promote their children.
For a time, Zhang Yue's staff could be said to be full of talents.
