Zhang Mansion congratulated guests.
Zhang Yue was sitting in the inner hall and answered them one by one. The guests were brought into the hall one by one to talk.
Some of these visitors were just congratulations, and some were showing their closeness. After all, where Zhang Yue was now, he didn't necessarily have to help with many things, but it was still easy to do bad things.
The rest are asked to do things and look after their children.
On weekdays, you might only have a 50% chance of coming to ask for an opportunity, but today there is a 70% chance.
To be honest, Zhang Yue was sometimes tired of dealing with it, but he had to get things done properly. Collection and release of favor debts was not a simple matter.
Today, my two uncles, Wu Anshi and Wu Anchi, also came to visit. You must know that Wu Anshi is a rare visitor and rarely visits.
"Congratulations to my brother-in-law, Yingzhou, for his immortality!"
Now Wu Anshi also had a smile on her face, congratulating Zhang Yue on his visit to the Immortal Yutang, and also presented him with a picture of the Eighteenth Bachelor's visit to Yingzhou. The first of the eighteen scholars are Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui, whose metaphorical meanings need not be mentioned much.
As the saying goes, you encounter the most bad people when you are at the bottom of the mountain, but when you go up the mountain and reach the top, you see good people wherever you look.
Zhang Yue looked at the painting sent by Wu Anshi and said, "It's only today that you have let go of your previous aloof attitude, but to be honest, I still like your unruly look."
Zhang Yue didn't care too much, but said: "Zhang was penniless at first, but thanks to the appreciation of the great man, he allowed me to borrow books in the Wu family library and took me with him to Beijing."
It was in the Wu Family Library that Zhang Yue met Qi Niang and went to Beijing together, secretly falling in love with her on the way. This also made Zhang Yue, who has lived in two generations, understand for the first time that there is a girl who likes me.
Wu Anshi was very happy when he heard this, while Wu Anchi tugged on his sleeve.
Zhang Yue looked at Wu Anchi's movements and asked, "Brother, do you have anything to say?"
Wu Anzhi said: "Wangzhi asked me to come to congratulate Duzhi."
Hearing that it was Lu Jia who asked the question, Zhang Yue immediately understood. Lu Jiawen betrayed the Lu family, and Zhang Yuezi, who was facing the Lu family's in-laws, could not come to congratulate him, otherwise he would be kicked out by Zhang Zhi.
But the meaning of Lu Jia's question was also very clear. He wanted to show his kindness to him and hoped that he would be merciful to him in the affairs of Yisi after he entered the court.
Zhang Yue said: "Brother, thank you for me. I will discuss the matter with my father-in-law, Xianggong Lu, in the future."
Wu Anshi and Wu Anchi got a positive answer and left immediately satisfied.
As soon as Wu Anshi and Wu Anchi left, Zhang Zhi led Cai Que to the inner hall.
As soon as Cai Que met him, he joked: "In the past, when I met Mr. Cai, I would walk straight into the room. I'm afraid I'll have to queue up to see him in the future."
Zhang Yue smiled and said, "Senior brother, aren't you going to kill me if you say that?"
Cai Que said with a smile: "I'm so moved by this. I really understand today what it means to be a farmhouse minister in the morning and ascend to the emperor's hall in the evening." "
"This is how you and I are scholars today, and tomorrow we will be so successful when we meet the opportunity. One never knows where the next step will be. When we first met in Taixue, I never expected that you would be as successful as you are today."
yes.
Listening to the noise of the guests outside, Zhang Yue sighed deeply in his heart, remembering the days when he and Cai Que were studying at Taixue.
Back then, I had to live a careful life even if I had a few pennies in my pocket, and then I scrimped on food and clothing while studying. How could I have imagined that I would live in a house with eight seats today.
As soon as he thought about this, he thought far away. Zhang Yue smiled and said: "Brother, if you have anything to say, you can just say it directly. There is no need to talk in circles between you and me."
Cai Que nodded and lowered his smile and asked, "I heard that you went to see Mr. Wang?"
Zhang Yue thought that Cai Que was really well-informed: "That's right."
Cai Que asked seriously: "When you come back to the court this time, do you really intend to assist Han Xianggong in fighting against Lu Jifu?"
Zhang Yue said: "I didn't say a word, but my senior brother asked me this, so can Lu Jifu trust me?"
Cai Que said sternly: "Du Zhi, I can tell you something that is absolutely certain. Although Han Xianggong is now Zhao Wen, he is no match for Lu Jifu."
Zhang Yue didn't know in his heart that Lu Hui
Qing is not only a powerful person, but more importantly, he has the base of the new party behind him. Before Wang Anshi came out of office, he was the operator of the reform. After he left office, he took over all aspects.
Then Cai Que chatted with himself about the names of several people, all of whom were his confidants.
Zhang Yue knew what Cai Que meant, and he suggested that the two of them should not be attached to Lu or Han, and go their own way. Cai really wants to protect the people's master, the imperial party who knows the cards, but this road will be attacked by the scholar-bureaucrats.
When the history of the Song Dynasty was compiled in the future, Cai indeed ranked first on the list of female ministers. Although he had the extreme side, more importantly, he was an imperialist, so he even impeached Wang Anshi and Han Zhen. You must know that Wang Anshi recommended him. Han Zhen's elder brother Han Wei, Han Jiang also recommended him.
Except for the emperor, Cai indeed could deny his relatives.
But Zhang Yue believes that you can be loyal to the emperor, but you must not have a bottom line when dealing with him. This is why he is different from Cai Que.
…
While he was talking, he suddenly heard Zhang Zhi said inside: "Third uncle, Mr. Lu is here."
Cai Que looked in disbelief. Just now, he had advised Zhang Yue that Lu Huiqing must be careful, but in the blink of an eye, someone came to congratulate Zhang Yue.
Zhang Yue's expression changed when he heard this. In the past, official promotions were only for low-level officials to visit senior officials to congratulate them. There were no high-level officials to come to congratulate low-level officials.
Not to mention that Lu Huiqing was at the level of Prime Minister, even Han Wei, Zeng Bu, Yuan Jiang, and Deng Wan, who were at the same level as Zhang Yue, had no reason to come to congratulate him in person.
Zhang Zhi said: "Xiangong Lu sent someone to say that he just happened to be passing by here and stopped by to congratulate him."
Drop by? If I look up to you, the whole city of Bianjing will go along with you; if I look down on you, even those who live in the opposite door will not go along with you.
Zhang Yue said without hesitation: "Hurry up and open the middle door to greet us!"
Because Lu Huiqing came in person, Zhang Yue, Zhang Shi, and Zhang Zhi all went to the gate to greet him personally.
Zhang Yue looked outside the door and watched Lu Huiqing, who was dressed in purple robes, calmly get out of the carriage and raise his hands to congratulate him. He immediately stepped down to greet him.
The guests who came to Zhang Mansion to congratulate him were also surprised to see Lu Huiqing's move.
There were rumors in the capital that Zhang and Lu were at odds, but today Zhang Yue was promoted to a bachelor of Duanming Palace and a bachelor of Hanlin, and Lu Huiqing personally came to congratulate him. This shows that this statement is completely false.
Zhang Yue also knew that Lu Huiqing had ulterior motives for this move, but which official was promoted to a bachelor's degree in the Imperial Academy, and the prime minister came to congratulate him?
Lu Huiqing's move can be said to have given him enough face. To be precise, it has given him enough face to be a bachelor of Hanlin and a bachelor of Duanming Palace.
If you want to achieve great things, face is the least important thing. However, the less face-conscious people tend to have more face.
Success is really shameless perseverance... This time, *** Yue and Lu Huiqing seemed to have been chatting and laughing with each other for many years.
Having said that, the two have been friends for more than ten years.
"Lv is really happy for you after spending this time with Yutang Lingxiao!"
Zhang Yue smiled, you definitely didn't think so in your heart.
Lu Huiqing looked up at Zhang Yue's mansion and said to Zhang Yue with emotion: "These days, I often think of the first time I met Du Zhi in Ouyang Gong. Thinking of what happened a few years ago, I feel very regretful."
Zhang Yue remembered that when Ouyang Xiu opposed the reform, you, Lu Huiqing, followed Wang Anshi and treated his father and son badly.
Zhang Yue said: "Da Shen implemented reforms for the sake of the country. In the final analysis, it was just a dispute over national affairs."
Lu Huiqing held Zhang Yue's hand and said, "Among the entire dynasty, only Du Zhi knows me."
This scene seemed extremely harmonious, and then Lu Huiqing said a few words to Zhang Shi and Zhang Zhi.
The three of them immediately invited Lu Huiqing inside to drink tea.
Lu Huiqing nodded and entered the house first. Zhang Yue was half a step behind him. The guests on the left and right stood to greet each other. Lu Huiqing came in and took a sip of tea, then said he had something to say and left.
Not long after Lu Huiqing left, outsiders reported to the Imperial Academy, and Zeng Bu, the envoy of the Third Secretary Quan, came to congratulate him.
Zhang Yue was promoted to a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, and as a result, a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy and the third envoy and a prime minister came to visit him. This was the treatment that only a minister of the third imperial court and a prime minister could pay to him.
Isn't this so great that it can be described in words?
present
The guests were all quite shocked. Zhang Yue was already promoted to Hanlin Bachelor. What if he could go one step further in the future?
Zhang Yue personally greeted Zeng Bu.
Zeng Bu and himself were both Hanlin bachelors, but Zhang Yue had no real power other than writing edicts to the emperor and participating in privy affairs. However, Zeng Bu was the third envoy, ranking third after Zhongshu and the Second Privy Council in terms of actual power. .
Therefore, the weight of Zeng Bu's visit was no less than that of Lu Huiqing.
Zeng Bu looked solemn, Zhang Yue saw the opportunity and knew that the other party had something to say to him, so he invited him to the inner hall.
Zhang Yue asked, "Brother Zigu, are you feeling well?"
When Zeng Bu heard Zhang Yue mention Zeng Gong, he smiled and said, "Everything goes well for my brother to be an official in Qizhou. If my brother is here today, he will be very happy to see that Duan Ming was the leader in the past and has reached the top of Aofeng again today!"
Zhang Yue sighed: "After Ouyang Gong passed away, the only person in the world who can learn from me is your brother. Zixuan, you and I are not outsiders. If you have anything to say, you can speak out."
Zeng Zeng said: "I heard from Brother Pingfu that he came to the house the day before yesterday to ask for help from Zheng Jiefu?"
Zhang Yue said: "Indeed."
Zeng preached: "To be clear and honest, the Market Change Law is indeed not a good law. However, Lu Jifu encouraged the governors of the world to praise the new law and requested that the Market Change Law be implemented throughout the world. This matter now makes me very embarrassed."
"Zeng hopes that Duan Ming can support Zeng in the matter of market changes. Now in this matter, Zeng and Lu Jifu will either die or I will die, and Duan Ming's attitude is very important in the official family, so Zeng sincerely requests Duan Ming helps."
Zhang Yue said: "Zixuan, don't worry, I will discuss this matter with several husbands and come up with a deal."
Zeng Bu smiled and said, "If you have Duan Ming, I feel relieved."
Having said this, Zeng Sermon said: "Yes, I heard rumors from the Bachelor's College that some bachelors are dissatisfied with the matter of Duanming's visit to the palace."
Zhang Yue smiled. He had expected this. Returning to the court and serving as a bachelor of Duanming Palace would automatically lower the rankings of other Hanlin bachelors by one.
Zhang Yue said: "Everything in the court is in ruins. Zhang doesn't have time to care about these things, but I still thank Zixuan for his kindness."
Zeng Bu immediately stood up and left.
A moment after Zeng Bu left, others reported that Han Wei, a Hanlin scholar, came to congratulate him.
As soon as the news came out, there was another sensation.
A prime minister and two Hanlin scholars came to congratulate him. It was a worthwhile trip to witness this scene.
