The boat stopped and went, and several months had passed when Zhang Yue arrived in Bianjing again.
Looking at Bianjing, who had been away for a long time, Zhang Yue had no time to lament that he wanted his wife and children to go home, so he entered the palace alone and handed in the writ at the pavilion gate.
There was a sudden rain in Bianjing. Zhang Yue stood in front of the palace eaves, watching the rain dripping down, waiting for the news of the emperor's edict.
Zhang Yue was wearing a purple robe and a winged hat standing at the door of the pavilion, looking at the officials passing by.
When his former colleagues saw Zhang Yue, they all bowed from a distance and did not come over to talk hastily. Everyone was very cautious.
After Wang Anshi returned to the prime minister, Lu Huiqing was still writing the book, and Han Jiang resigned as prime minister, Zhang Yue was at odds with the two prime ministers, and his backer was gone. It is really intriguing to return to the dynasty now.
If you can't see the wind clearly, it's better to avoid getting into trouble in public. At worst, you can make amends in private afterwards.
Many people speculate that there is something going on in Hebei now, and the emperor summoned Zhang Yue back to Beijing, probably to deal with the Khitan.
At this moment, Wang Lian, Yuan Jiang, Zhang Dun and other Hanlin scholars were walking out of the palace. When they walked out of the pavilion door, they met Zhang Yue who was waiting to be summoned.
Several people bowed to each other, and Wang Lian smiled and said: "Does Du Zhi have any interest in meeting His Majesty Chen after returning to the capital?"
Zhang Yue said: "It seems that everything has been smooth sailing, and there is no great danger."
Wang Lian couldn't help but laugh when he heard this, and Yuan Jiang said: "Du Zhi is also more cautious in his words than before."
Yuan Jiang meant, it would have been better if you had been like this.
Zhang Yue glanced at Yuan Jiang. Regarding the fire dragon burning account, the other party was reinstated so quickly. It can be seen that he was raised high and lowered gently.
Zhang Yue said: "Brother Hou also returned to the court and became an official? It can be seen that there is no harm in being cautious or not."
At this time, dark clouds rolled in the sky, and it looked like it was going to rain again.
Yuan Jiang smiled and said, "It's going to rain again, so I remembered that there is a big tree in my hometown. I like to read under the shade of the tree on weekdays. It's very cool. It doesn't matter if it rains for a while." ."
"But when you get to Beijing, you have no choice. Sometimes you hide under the eaves to avoid the rain, and then you have to keep your head down."
Zhang Yue said: "Brother Hou is right, you see the eaves here are very high, so we don't have to lower our heads, right?"
Yuan Jiang smiled and said: "Yes, yes."
Zhang Dun glanced at Zhang Yue, and then said to Yuan Jiang and Wang Lian: "The officials are discussing matters with the ministers. It seems that we will have some free time. Why don't we go and sit there?"
Zhang Yue's heart moved. Is this why Zhang Dun was reminding himself why the officials didn't summon him for so long? So that you don't have to worry?
Yuan Jiang, Wang Lian smiled and said: "That's fine, that's fine."
Wang Lian said with a smile: "If you have time after you get married, let's get together."
Zhang Yueze said: "I'm afraid we can't do it today."
Wang Lian smiled and said: "Then let's do it another day."
Zhang Yue said: "Just enjoy it."
Immediately, several people bowed to each other and left.
Zhang Dun took the first step.
Wang Lian and Yuan Jiang whispered to each other, and Wang Lian said: "Since the Prime Minister is absent, it will be unkind for those who come back to the court this time."
Yuan Jiang glanced at Wang Lian, who had been constantly trying to instigate Zhang Yue and herself these days. But after the fire dragon burned the accounts last time, Yuan Jiang and Zhang Yue had a falling out.
This fire was a merit for Yuan Jiang, but a fault for Zhang Yue.
Yuan Jiang said: "When Prime Minister Wu is in the court, how can it be that both the father-in-law and his son-in-law have entered the second house? What's more, Mr. Wang has always disliked Zhang Du."
Yuan Jiang still didn't say anything. He had other arrangements this time.
Wang Lian nodded and said with a smile: "Brother Yuan, thank you very much."
The position of Prime Minister is something that Wang Lian has longed for. If he reaches his position, if he does not enter the second palace in this life, it will be another kind of failure.
Zhang Yue continued to wait at the door of the pavilion. Half an hour passed, but the emperor still did not send an edict to him. Of course Zhang Yue knew that the emperor and his ministers were discussing important matters.
If he didn't know the news, his mentality would not fluctuate. After all, he had experienced so many storms and waves, and he was no longer a novice on his first day as an official.
The cabinet official on the side had already diligently brought a stool to Zhang Yue. Zhang Yue sat for a moment and then stood up. He wanted to keep himself in a posture ready to fight at any time.
At this time the rain fell again.
Zhang Yue felt a little bored after waiting and sat down again.
At this time, several purple umbrellas appeared under the eaves of the palace in the distance, and Zhang Yue immediately stood up from his chair.
A dozen chamberlains held several large purple umbrellas. Under the umbrellas, Wang Anshi, Lu Huiqing and Wang Gui descended the steps.
They also saw Zhang Yue standing waiting at the pavilion door.
Lu Huiqing narrowed her eyes and took a peek at Wang Anshi's face. Wang Anshi was a little absent-minded and continued to walk down the steps.
Lu Huiqing had an unexplainable premonition in her heart.
This premonition always seemed absurd to him, but it still lingered in his heart.
But one thing he was sure of was that for him, Lu Huiqing, Zhang Yue's return to court was not a good one.
But I was able to force you Zhang Yue to go out, and now I can force you to do it a second time.
"I've met Wang Xianggong, Lu Dashen, and Wang Dashen!"
Zhang Yue said loudly.
Wang Anshi, who had been absent-minded, finally realized what he was doing, glanced at Zhang Yue and said, "Yes, save him!"
Zhang Yue took a step forward and said, "This is the lower official."
Wang Anshi nodded and said: "The officials are waiting for you in the palace, go ahead!"
This sentence seemed to be casual, but it was a huge thunder in Lu Huiqing's heart.
He glanced at Wang Anshi and then at Zhang Yue. His expression turned extremely ugly in an instant. At this moment, his hands under his sleeves were clenched so tightly that they turned white.
"Thank you, Mr. Xian!"
Zhang Yue saluted Wang Gui again, and Wang Gui looked at Zhang Yue with a smile. Although the old man was always known for his lack of attitude or opinions in the court, his encouragement to Zhang Yue could still be seen with his smile.
Among the three of them, Zhang Yue and Lu Huiqing were the only ones who had no eye contact at all from beginning to end.
Wang Anshi nodded and walked past Zhang Yue.
Lu Huiqing passed by Zhang Yue, paused for a moment and looked sideways, and Zhang Yue also raised his head.
Under the pavilion door, two purple-robed officials looked at each other for a moment. They were more than ten years apart, and they were like two sharp knives, a new one and an old one.
Sparks flew for a moment, and neither side's eyes gave in at all.
But in full view of everyone, a smile immediately appeared on Lu Huiqing's face, and Zhang Yue also put on a smile.
With such an aggressive smile, even people who don't know the relationship between Zhang and Lu feel like it's suddenly freezing.
Both of them were very powerful and refused to give in to each other. When Wang Anshi looked over, the two of them nodded gently.
Lu Huiqing stepped forward and passed Zhang Yue.
After a while, two chamberlains in red clothes, one holding an umbrella and the other holding a lantern, walked up to Zhang Yue and said, "Scholar Zhang, your majesty will grant you an audience in the public hall!"
Zhang Yue nodded and went up to the hall with his robes shaking.
In the palace, an official in dragon robe read a memorial, which was written by the official to impeach Zhang Yue.
As for the official who instigated it, he also understood, and he said angrily: "Since Zhang Dexiang, all the Fujian people who have been prime ministers in the past dynasties are pragmatic and not idle. For example, Zeng Gongliang, Lu Huiqing, and Wu Chongzhen are all very satisfied. Those ministers who talk so much that they don’t know what they are talking about are ten times stronger.”
