The monarch and his ministers discussed the matter for two full hours.
Sun Zhu, a short and thin official who was in charge of repairing daily life notes, also recorded everything truthfully.
Sun Zhu was promoted to Jinshi in the first year of Emperor You's reign and has been an official for twenty-eight years. Because of his short and thin stature, Sun Zhu was molested by Liu Ban, the most vicious tongue in Xining.
At that time, Liu Huan, Sun Jue and Sun Zhu both knew Taichang Liyuan.
Liu Fan taught a junior official to give something to Sun Jue. The junior official said there were two Sun Jue scholars, but I couldn't identify them.
Liu Huan said, you can recognize him just by looking at his beard.
The clerk said it still didn't work.
Liu Fan said, "You are stupid. Look, Sun Jue is tall and fat. He is the great Husun (hozen) scholar. Sun Zhu is short and thin, and he is the little Husun (hozen) scholar."
Sun Zhu, who was short and thin, took up the post of Xiu Liju. Back then, Han Qi had praised him, but now he is Jia Yi.
At the same time, Sun Zhu also had another characteristic: he was strict in speech and kept everything in his heart. When he was the censor, after writing a memorial, he burned the manuscript so that no one could see it.
Because of this advantage, he is also the most suitable official to practice daily life.
Sun Zhu also had the ambition to reform the bad government, but he was at odds with Wang Anshi. However, he had no contact with Zhang Yue, but he had a good relationship with Zhang Yue's teachers Chen Xiang and Su Shi, and his daughter was married to Li Qingchen For the continuation string.
Today, he is here to record the affairs for the living officials and Zhang Yue and the officials.
Sun Zhuli wrote on the manuscript with pen and paper.
The Emperor's Counselor Zhang Yue changed the Yuan Dynasty.
Zhang Yue replied, "Everything is as you wish." During the country's more than 100 years of dynasty, no reign was more than nine years old. The story of holding open treasures simultaneously, bringing peace and rejuvenation to the country, and the great auspicious talisman.
The emperor asked Zhang Yue again: "Who can you recommend?"
Zhang Yue replied: Su Song, Zeng Bu, Chen Xiang and several others.
The emperor was overjoyed.
Next, Zhang Yue gave advice to the emperor. Sun Zhu couldn't help but hesitate again and again, but finally recorded it in the file.
Zhang Yue said to the official: "I advise your Majesty to appoint yourself, but does your Majesty know the disadvantages of appointing yourself?"
The official said: "I don't know."
Zhang Yue said: "Throughout the ages, the emperor has exercised power in the hands of one person. Needless to say, the power is great. However, there is no responsibility for the disadvantages of exercising power in one person. May I ask Your Majesty if this is a disadvantage?"
When the official heard this, he hesitated and said, "Keep going on, Qing Zhang!"
Zhang Yue said: "I told your majesty that with power comes responsibility, and power and responsibility must be equal. However, the emperor has great power, but no one dares to criticize him. With such great power and small responsibility, where does the extra responsibility go? Already?"
"Then it must come to the ministers, officials, and the court. No one in the world dares to blame your majesty for wrongdoing in politics. They can only blame the ministers, officials, and the court, and let them bear the blame for your majesty. How to rectify this? Please make it clear, Your Majesty!"
When Sun Zhu wrote this, he saw the official's face change slightly, and his writing also paused slightly. These words were admonitions, but they also meant warnings.
As today's Jia Yi, Sun Zhu knew what Zhang Yue meant.
That is, even if the emperor has great power, he cannot do whatever he wants.
If Zhang Yue acted according to his wishes before, now Sun Zhu feels that Zhang Yue is admonishing him.
Zhang Yuejin is also very methodical in his advice. He will first smooth your hair out and then speak from the bottom of his heart.
But I saw the official getting up and walking around. He thought for a while and then said: "Qing Zhang, this can be said to be an honest and honest statement. It's not like I haven't thought about this before."
"If I have any mistakes in the future, please tell me directly. No, I will blame you face to face! If the mistakes are too big, I will issue an edict to blame myself and will never blame anyone else!"
Sun Zhu heard the sound, took a deep breath, and continued recording.
From Taizu to today's emperors, there have been edicts on sin, and on average there is more than one edict a year.
Most of them are due to disasters and changes in the weather.
Of course, some culpable edicts were just formalities, but there were also cases where the emperor reflected on himself. For example, after Zheng Xia came to Shu, the officials knew the miserable situation of the refugees and issued the culpable edict.
After listening to the emperor's words, Zhang Yue said with great alarm: "Your Majesty is wise! Yao and Shun are not as good as this."
After a pause, Zhang Yue said again: "Your Majesty, since the Reform, Prime Minister Wang Anshi has not been afraid of suffering. I am afraid that in the future, the Prime Minister will be like Wang Anshi!"
After listening to Zhang Yue's words, Sun Zhu felt the other party's sincere feelings and sighed that Zhang Yue was truly a gentleman.
What is a gentleman?
In Sun Zhu's heart, there are two standards for a gentleman. One is that one's thoughts are as clear as the sky and the sun, and cannot be made known to others. To put it bluntly, one must know the truth. The other is that one's talents are as hidden as jade and pearls. They cannot be easily known to others and cannot be shown off in front of others. own talent.
Wanting to be better than others is the behavior of a villain, but it is not the behavior of a gentleman.
At this point, Zhang Yue is a true gentleman. He treats you with sincerity, unlike other ministers who use tricks in their words.
Sun Zhu, who was studying daily life, saw many monarchs and ministers playing against each other. He clearly wanted to do this, and the emperor and he knew it from the bottom of their hearts. But the other party just deliberately chatted about other things. After a lot of rambles, he seemed to pick up the topic without leaving any trace.
Zhang Yue's speech between the emperor and his ministers was very direct and clear. Of course, only those who could confide in the official family would dare to say this.
At first, Sun Zhu recalled that he had political disagreements with Wang Anshi and was demoted to the post of magistrate of Haizhou. He didn't like Wang Anshi, but he understood that since Xining's reform, the whole world's responsibility fell on Wang Anshi alone.
But is there no fault of the emperor?
Zeng Gongliang said everywhere that Wang Anshi and the official family were the same person.
Nowadays, the conflict between the official family and Wang Anshi is also great. The monarch and his ministers have turned against each other for so many years, and they have made a lot of blushes, but in the end they have to start well and end well.
Some emperors clearly meant what they wanted, but in the end the responsibility was passed on to the ministers and they took it all off themselves.
Although Zhang Yue's words just now were not fully stated, the hidden meaning was already obvious.
Wang Anshi shared a lot of the reform affairs for the officials. Even if the officials have strong opinions, they must respect Wang Anshi. Only in this way will the prime minister dare to do his best to serve you.
This is a good emperor in the eyes of scholar-bureaucrats.
When the official heard this, he followed Shan Ruliu and said, "I know what you mean."
Hearing this, Zhang Yue saluted again and said, "Your Majesty, you are wise!"
Sun Zhu glanced at Zhang Yue and thought, Zhang Yue, Zhang Yue, the officials have called you back to Beijing to participate in politics this time, with the intention of replacing Wang Anshi in power, but at this time, you said good things for Wang Anshi.
He couldn't understand what Zhang Yue was thinking for a moment.
If it had been Zhang Yue, he would definitely have made trouble for Wang Anshi.
…
"Sage, the officials talked with Zhang Yue for two hours in the Chongzheng Hall."
Gao Taotao frowned when he heard this.
Zhang Mao, on the other hand, stood aside with lowered eyebrows.
Empress Dowager Gao glanced at Zhang Maoze, and instantly regretted not listening to Zhang Maoze's advice and letting the other party order Zhang Yue.
Gao Taotao said deliberately: "It seems that Zhang Yue's holy family is still above Wang Anshi."
Zhang Maoze said: "As far as I know, the person who recommended Wang Anshi to the officials was Zhang Yue."
Gao Tao said: "Jiayou's government is so great and beautiful! It's a pity... that it was ruined by people like Wang Anshi."
At this moment, a chamberlain hurriedly entered the room and said to Empress Dowager Gao: "The officials and Zhang Yue are talking in the palace."
Zhang Yue's visit to Beijing to meet the emperor and talk to the emperor was semi-public. Except for Sun Zhu, who was practicing daily life, the servants on the left and right did not avoid it.
However, the servants stood far away, and the monarch and his ministers were talking face to face, so they might not be able to hear clearly. Only a few people who were very close could hear them.
In fact, when they talked about exterminating Xia, the two men spoke in a low voice, and the officials who repaired the daily notes did not dare to take it down. The rest was not hidden.
But Gao Taotao was able to learn so quickly because she was the Queen Mother.
Hearing that the official family was going to change the Yuan Dynasty, Gao Taotao was noncommittal, but Zhang Yue took the initiative to say that the eldest son was engaged.
Suddenly, Empress Dowager Gao's face looked as if the sky had cleared up after the rain. The servants around her might have thought that it was cloudy just now, as if a storm was about to come, but at this moment it was calm.
The atmosphere changed, but Gao Taotao didn't reveal anything. Instead, he asked Zhang Maoze curiously: "Who is this Huang Lu?"
Zhang Mao talked about Huang Lu's resume one by one.
Gao Taotao's eyes lit up and he said: "This man who won the Jinshi title and gave up his official position and returned thousands of miles to his hometown to guard the funeral of his wife who has never passed away is truly a great person."
Zhang Maoze said: "When this person knew Taichang Liyuan, he had dealings with the ministers. He is indeed a person who regards fame and wealth as floating clouds, but I didn't expect that this person values friendship."
Gao Taotao smiled slightly and said: "I read it right. This Zhang Yue is also a person who values friendship. He is in a high position, but he treats his old friends so kindly. He is much better than Wang Anshi. It would be great if the officials let him replace him. ”
Gao Taotao's words are like "knowing the smallest things". Women see people and things from a different perspective than men.
From a political perspective, women have their own political talents. Looking at the time-travel stories on female videos, every heroine has one hundred and eighty eyes, and is particularly familiar with palace battles.
In response to this, Zhang Mao said loudly: "The sage clearly shows that the old minister thinks that Wang Anshi is actually a good minister. He is a little bit arrogant, but he is unkind!"
Gao Tao said eloquently: "This is important. Those who are inhumane in everything are rarely treacherous. That's what Su Xun said in the rape record. At that time, no one in the capital knew about Wang Anshi's treachery, but Su Xun was the only one who saw through it at a glance. "
"All principles in the world come from human feelings. How can a person who is unkind be a prime minister?"
A good prime minister is one who is close to human feelings. This is Gao Taotao's simple political outlook.
Zhang Maoze said: "Sage Qi, Xianggong Zhang also supports the new law. It's just a slight deviation. I'm afraid he won't change his tune when he becomes an official in the court."
Hearing this, Gao Taotao said: "Zhang Duzhi and Wang Anshi are known to be the most knowledgeable people among civil servants, but they can't see things as clearly as I, a woman."
"Reform! Change occurred during the Qingli period. Emperor Renzong was in power, Fan Wenzheng, Han Qi, Ouyang Xiu, and Fu Bi worked together and supported each other. In the end, it was not a great success, but a complete defeat."
"This road won't work! But Zhang Yue is a person who understands the general situation. He is definitely better than Wang Anshi as prime minister."
Zhang Mao heard the words and understood the implication of Gao Taotao's words: "Sage, I know what to do."
Gao Taotao smiled and said: "Then go quickly!"
After Zhang Maoze left, several rumors spread from the palace.
…
Wang Anshi finished correcting official documents in the Zhongshu Provincial Office. He glanced out the window and unknowingly dusk had fallen.
Wang Anshi rubbed his eyes, stood up and looked at the lights in the palace with his hands behind his hands for a while, then said to Yuan Sui: "Go back home!"
When Wang Anshi walked to the capital hall, he saw the officials gathering in twos and threes and whispering. When they saw Wang Anshi, they immediately saluted in a hurry.
Wang Anshi followed the gazes of these people and saw that they were looking at the brightly lit Chongzheng Hall.
Wang Anshi didn't think much and walked away casually. Lu Jiawen, who was checking the fifth room in the middle of the book, followed closely behind him.
"Prime Minister, Zhang Duzhi is still calling for help."
"How long."
"I'm afraid it's been two hours."
"Yes!" Wang Anshi responded calmly.
Wang Anshi slowly looked at the Golden Palace. He remembered that when Xining came to pay homage to the prime minister at the beginning of the year, the officials also stayed together like this, and they often talked till dusk without getting tired.
Now it has been a long time since the official family left him alone, so it was right to stay here.
Lu Jiawen was worried. In recent years, the conflicts between Wang Anshi and the officials have been increasing day by day. What if Zhang Yue arranged Wang Anshi's fault and took the opportunity to add insult to injury?
But Lu Jiawen thought about it and realized that Zhang Yue was not such a person.
However, his life's glory and wealth were all tied to Wang Anshi. Once Wang Anshi stepped down, Lu Jiawen would be finished.
Lu Jia asked: "Prime Minister, you must not have the intention to harm others, but you must have the intention to guard against others. Would you like to ask Sun Juyuan (Sun Zhu) to come to the capital hall tomorrow?"
Apart from Sun Zhu, only a few servants could know about the conversation between the officials and Zhang Yue.
Make friends with the chamberlain or inquire from the chamberlain. Once the matter is verified, it will be greatly detrimental to Wang Anshi. That was why Wen Yanbo was dismissed.
But Sun Soo is different.
Wang Anshi said: "Sun Juyuan is a very strict person, don't you know? Don't ask!"
Lu Jia asked: "Prime Minister, I heard that Duke Wen Lu returned to Luoyang after becoming an official and went on a bus trip with Fu Zheng. He also had contacts with Zhao Bing, Liu Ji, and Feng Xing. Sima Junshi is also in Luoyang..."
Wang Anshi nodded again.
He went on.
At this time, he saw in the distance an official wearing a purple robe, guided by two palace men in red robes, slowly approaching. This person is none other than Zhang Yue.
…
Zhang Yue walked down the stairs slowly, having just had a long and heart-to-heart talk with the officials, which was quite exciting.
Throughout the ages, Dejun has been the one who has done the right thing, but this kind of trust also makes him feel that he has a heavy responsibility.
At this moment, he couldn't help but think of the days when he took refuge in the mountains and forests in Zhending. Those comfortable days when he got up every day and watched the time passing by before his eyes. I'm afraid these days will never happen again.
Life is just stop and go.
Even if you are used to living a comfortable life, you will still be very quiet and restless. Real leisure and freedom are something that no living person can wait for.
When it came to recommending Wang Anshi, he was ahead of Han Wei. Later, when it came to persuading officials to personally take charge of the reform, he was also ahead of Cai Que. Both of these things are taking advantage of the foresight of one's own time traveler.
As for the struggle between the officials and Empress Dowager Gao, he remained neutral.
Although Empress Dowager Gao opposed the reform, the question is who is Gao Taotao?
She is not Queen Mother Liu E, Queen Mother Cao, Liu E. Queen Mother Cao has more power than Queen Mother Gao, but she is not the biological mother of Emperor Renzong and Emperor Yingzong.
If you, a foreign minister, are involved in the conflict between mother and son, don't you hear the saying that there is no closeness between people?
There is no conflict between a mother and her son, but they can reconcile quickly. If you get involved, you will be the unlucky one in the end.
The most important thing is that if historical rules are followed, Empress Dowager Gao will take power. Judging from the official body, he is very uncertain.
If he were Zhuge Liang, he would quickly arrange seven-star lanterns for the officials.
The official family is here, he is rich and powerful, doesn't he know about this problem?
Since ancient times, there have been good doctors and good looks. Unfortunately, I can’t cure diseases, and I don’t know any medical knowledge. But it seems that cowpox can be popularized.
I will definitely look for famous doctors everywhere in the future to extend the life of the official family.
But having said that, if something unexpected happens to the official family, what will happen then?
At least the relationship with Empress Dowager Gao cannot deteriorate, and she treats him well.
But the loss of Yuan You between her and Sima Guang is also unforgivable. They turned the policies of a country upside down and played with them upside down.
Are you a diode? Are you playing the Great Shift of the Universe? Is that true?
When you get on a highway, you suddenly slam on the brakes. You are trying to take human life lightly!
It was also the advantage of time travel that allowed him to handle his relationship with Gao Taotao more cautiously.
If the Guan family can live eight more years, then all problems will disappear.
But how can it be so easy to predict life expectancy? If Chai Shizong lived a few more years, there would be nothing to do with Zhao and Song.
Thinking of this, Zhang Yue used a jade wat to hold up the lower edge of his black gauze hat, facing the cold wind in the palace and thinking thoughtfully. At this time, he saw Wang Anshi.
Behind Wang Anshi stood Lu Jiawen and Chang Yuan with the team.
"What a coincidence? Or are you waiting for me here on purpose?"
At this moment, Zhang Yue immediately took a few steps to salute. This was not because he met the leader halfway and deliberately pretended not to see him.
Zhang Yue would not do anything with such low emotional intelligence.
Zhang Yue said: "Zhang Yue has met the Prime Minister!"
After Zhang Yue saluted Wang Anshi, Lu Jiawen also saluted Zhang Yue. Later, Lu Jiawen also worked in Zhongshu, serving as subordinates to Wang Anshi and Zhang Yue.
Wang Anshi nodded and said: "Du Zhi has returned to Beijing. I happened to be passing by."
Zhang Yue said: "When I was in Hebei, I heard more and more that the Prime Minister was very protective in the court. I would like to thank you here today!"
Wang Anshi said: "I remember the things you entrusted me to do before leaving. From now on, you and I will be in Dongfu!"
Zhang Yue said: "I am no better than Penghao. From now on, I will still treat you as Prime Minister!"
Lu Jiawen saw Zhang Yue's move and sneered in his heart. Could it be that Wang Mang was respectful and did not usurp the throne? He didn't believe that Zhang Yue went home this time and didn't give Wang Anshi eye drops in front of the emperor?
Zhang Yue made such a statement, and Wang Anshi reciprocated: "From now on, you and I will be officials in the same dynasty, and we will serve in the same office, so we can discuss and deal with anything!"
Zhang Yue heard this and immediately said: "What the Prime Minister said is absolutely true. I just have something to ask the Prime Minister!"
Wang Anshi laughed and said: "You are really not polite at all. Say it!"
Zhang Yue said: "Cai Jing and Cai Yuanchang, who are in the next scene, have served me well in controlling the Liao Dynasty. I am accustomed to using this person. This time I am in Zhongshu. I ask the Prime Minister to allow him to join Zhongshu and oversee official affairs in any room!"
Wang Anshi laughed when he heard this.
After hearing this, Lu Jiawen also felt that Zhang Yue was really capable and intervened in the personnel arrangements as soon as he entered Dongfu.
You want to place your confidant in such an important position as the book inspector in Wufangzhong?
Wang Anshi said to Zhang Yue: "Do you know what I think of Cai Yuanchang?"
Zhang Yue said: "One massacre!"
Zhang Yue acted like I know, but I'm still like this.
Wang Anshi thought for a moment and said, "That's good!"
Lu Jiawen was shocked when he heard this. He did not expect that Wang Anshi actually agreed to Zhang Yue's matter.
