Han Wei returned to the side hall and awarded Zhang Yue the edict signed by the prime minister.
Zhang Yue held the edict and sighed with emotion that we are now a bachelor of Hanlin and a bachelor of Duanming Palace.
Han Wei said to Zhang Yue: "Congratulations to Du. Wang Yuyu had been a Hanlin scholar for more than ten years before he was awarded the Duanming Palace bachelor's degree. But you, Du, got it right after your first appointment. It can be said that you are the emperor's favorite."
Wang Gui was a member of the Hanlin Academy in the first year of Jiayou, and he had long been appointed as a Hanlin scholar.
But when he was appointed as the crown prince, he was asked to write the edict establishing Yingzong. He said that it was a major event and that he could only write it after asking Emperor Renzong face to face. As a result, Yingzong was jealous.
It was not until the fourth year of Zhiping that Yingzong put aside the matter and awarded Wang Gui a bachelor's degree in Duanming Palace, and obtained the qualification of quasi-prime minister.
During this period, Wang Gui waited for twelve years.
Zhang Yue said sincerely: "If it weren't for the virtuous Han Wuzhang Kunzhong's cultivation of Zhang, how could Zhang be what he is today?"
Han Wei Zhizhang was more kind-hearted, but he didn't expect that he would be so kind. He smiled and said: "That's a strong statement. In fact, compared to my brother, I have more political views with Duke Fu Zheng. I often think about Duke Fu Zheng's words now." , if after Your Majesty ascends the throne, the court does not talk about military affairs for twenty years, and rests and recuperates for twenty years, what will happen to the world now?"
If today's emperor ascends the throne and there is no reform, he will rest and recuperate for twenty years like the two emperors Wen and Jing of Han Dynasty did.
Zhang Yue felt that this was unlikely, but he was not willing to argue, so he said: "Maybe it will be another way."
Han Wei nodded and said: "So... everything has been done, and there will be no other way. But I know that we can't give up halfway, we must continue from beginning to end."
"Du Zhi's meritorious service in Xihe shows that you are the first-class talent in the court today. When Duke Fu Zheng learned about your achievements in Luoyang, he also praised you, saying that you have both the talent to stabilize the country and the ability to strategize. Now you are again Bachelor of Jin Duanming Palace, I believe that you will not keep me waiting too long when you rule the world."
Zhang Yue said: "I don't dare to take it. If such a day comes, I will still rely on Wu Zhang!"
Han Wei sighed: "Am I the one who changed my mind? It's not difficult for me to talk to you about everything in the world, but it's the most difficult to reconcile the Taoist heart and the human heart. How can we allow the left and the right to be in control?" "
Zhang Yue thought for a while and replied: "If you don't ask for permission (eternal) to hold on to the victory, as long as you hold on to the success for a while, you can become Yao and Shun!"
Han Wei was stunned when he heard this, and then said with a smile: "But everyone in the world thinks they are the winner, and others are their sway."
[In view of the general environment,
After saying that, the two bowed to each other and left.
Afterwards, Han Wei whispered to Zhang Yue: "Be careful of Lu Jifu."
Zhang Yue nodded and read the imperial edict written by Han Wei for himself, but he saw that there were two sentences in it.
"In the past, Zhuge Liang lived in a thatched hut, with a roof that was self-respecting, and then he could use his ears to the fullest."
"As a general, Han Xin advised the king of Han to settle the Three Qin Dynasties and stabilize the world. Although there are dangers, the great plan of the world has been decided."
This is comparing myself to Zhuge Liang and Han Xin.
Hanlin scholars have the right to "beautiful words" when drafting edicts. They can use the edicts to praise or criticize, and they can even object by means of "forbidden forest memorials".
Zhang Yue collected the edict and walked down the steps with it.
This was an ordinary afternoon in the imperial city.
Several officials walked quickly to salute Zhang Yue. They didn't know the news yet. In their eyes, Zhang Yue was still the military envoy of Xihe Road and a privy minister.
This is of course very remarkable on the outside, but for palace officials who can see the narration of the Prime Minister and Hanlin every day, it is really ordinary.
Although he is not a great minister like the Prime Minister, as the first person below the Prime Minister, the bachelor of Duanming Palace will definitely be very sensational when the news is announced tomorrow.
When Zhang Yue walked down the steps, he felt both excited and calm. He seemed to know that he had passed the college entrance examination and was admitted to a good school, but his classmates and family around him didn't know.
From the sweat-soaked questions and answers between emperors and ministers in the palace, every word is carefully designed, to the sensational and swarming congratulations to colleagues after the ceremony, it is a social event that is beyond your ability. This is the only way to be free.
Be alone with yourself.
The golden sunshine fell on his shoulders. Zhang Yue liked such quiet solitude very much. He walked in his own yard and savored these emotions.
"When the tide rises on the Qiantang River, you will know who I am today."
Zhang Yue smiled when he thought of this poem. Whether you are an economic envoy or a Hanlin bachelor, the Duanming Palace bachelor is all foreign things added to you. And along the way, I am no longer myself, but I am still me.
Thinking of this, Zhang Yue smiled in relief, greeted familiar people calmly, and then walked all the way to Xihua Gate.
"Master!" Tang Jiu and Zhang Gong saluted beside the carriage.
Zhang Yue said: "Go back home!"
Zhang Yue got on the carriage, put the edict-writing hand aside, patted it with a smile and turned his eyes to the window.
The carriage started, and just when Zhang Yue thought that the carriage was going back to the familiar road, when he saw the front of the carriage turning, there were unfamiliar scenery nearby, and then he remembered that he had been given the throne in the inner city by the emperor.
Standing next to the important officials of the clan.
Different from the hustle and bustle of the outer city, the inner city is much quieter, but it has its own grace. Pedestrians are well-dressed, and the roads are lined with tall locust trees and sycamore trees.
The carriage arrived at a main street, where they saw two large stone lions standing on one side on the left and one on the right. The three red lacquered mansion doors were closed tightly. There were about ten people sitting on two rows of benches in front of the mansion door.
There were several strong horses tied to the horse-tethering stone at the foot of the front steps of the mansion, and two ornately decorated carriages were parked there.
In contrast, the carriage Zhang Yue rode can only be described as a diesel carriage.
If it weren't for the word "Zhangfu" written on the plaque on the front door of the mansion, Zhang Yue would not have even prepared to get off the carriage.
Zhang Yue slowly got off the carriage, and a dozen people on the benches in front of the mansion stood up together, then walked down the steps to greet him.
"master!"
Zhang Yue recognized two or three of these dozen people, all of whom were former servants.
Zhang Yue looked at the wealthy family without saying anything.
Soon a young man came out from the corner door.
"Third uncle!"
Zhang Yue nodded when he saw Zhang Zhi, and then pointed towards the door of the mansion. Zhang Zhi understood what Zhang Yue meant and said, "Yes, third uncle, this is the first title given by the emperor the year before last."
Zhang Yue shook his head and said: "It's too extravagant. I am originally a poor student in Fujian Province, how can I live in such a top-notch place? This is not the duty of us scholars."
Everyone laughed when they heard this, Zhang Zhi smiled and said: "Third uncle, let's go inside and talk slowly."
Zhang Yue entered the door and looked left and right. After walking for a while, he reached the inner house. A female envoy saw him and said hurriedly: "Madam, the master is here."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a beautiful woman coming out to greet him, it was Qi Niang.
The couple had not seen each other for two years, and this time they met holding hands.
Zhang Yue said: "Madam, when I come back this time, I don't even know the way. I feel the same as when I first went to your house to meet my father-in-law."
The Seventeenth Niang looked at him with a smile on her face. It turned out that Zhang Yue remembered that although this mansion was a luxury for him, for the Seventeenth Niang, it was just like living back in the residential compound where she was married.
Therefore, you can say what you said to Zhang Zhi, but not to your own wife, otherwise you will be angry.
