Li Chengzhi understood even more that Zhang Yue didn't even talk about the recruitment law. He was clearly determined to dismiss him from office, without a word of discussion.

Li Chengzhi also got angry and said: "How dare people like Li compare themselves to Lanzhi? It's just a weed. It's just a weed. It's endlessly hoeed and burned, and it grows again when the spring breeze blows! Haha!"

Li Chengzhi's words are also simple and clear. Do you, Zhang Yue, think that you can change the service law by killing me, Li Chengzhi? You are wrong. Our generation is constantly hoeing. Even if Li is gone, there will still be others who will continue to insist on fighting against you, Zhang San.

Zhang Yue saw Li Chengzhi's attitude and understood that the dispute over political opinions was indeed not a personal grudge, but it was also the most unsolvable.

The reform will not be carried away by people, and Wang Anshi finally succeeded.

Zhang Yue didn't bother to explain, because it was useless to say anything.

Zhang Yue said: "In this world, how innocent is the woman who was killed by your son! How innocent are her family members who have no way to appeal! You are harming the judiciary with your letters. If no one eradicates this matter, how can it be worthy of the strict laws of the imperial court!"

Li Chengzhi and Wang Lian looked at each other after hearing this.

Yuan Jiang's face was ugly. He did not say anything, but asked Wang Lian to come forward to intercede. He thought that it would be better if Zhang Yue knew how to borrow Po Xia's donkey. If he didn't reward him, he would have to toast him instead of eating.

Han Jiang, Wang Gui and Feng Jing, who were at the top, watched all this without saying a word.

Yuan Jiang looked aside and immediately the musician began to sing.

"The east wind blooms thousands of trees at night. It also blows down the stars like rain."

Everyone laughed and said: "The Qingyu Case is a poem written by Mr. Zhang!"

Zhang Yue smiled, raised a full glass of wine, and saluted everyone. Everyone also respected him.

Taking advantage of this scene, Wang Lian and Li Chengzhi returned to their seats silently.

Han Jiang smiled and said to Yuan Jiang on the side: "Tonight is really a night of fish and dragon dance!"

Yuan Jiang was trembling in her heart but still smiled and said: "Return to the Prime Minister. This word is really suitable for the occasion."



On the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, it was even more lively.

Officials no longer go out, but go to the Xuande Gate Tower and sit on the pavilion.

The curtain was rolled up in front of the throne, allowing the people below the gate to have a glimpse of the sky. On this day, there was a huge crowd of people in front of Xuande Gate. The common people came not only to see Aoshan, but also to see what the emperor looked like.

Because he wanted to have fun with the people, the emperor of the Song Dynasty never stayed in the ninth level and controlled the people with unpredictable power.

The officials sat on the throne with smiles and accepted the worship from the people.

He wore a small hat and a red robe, and used an imperial desk to not only admire the lanterns, but also to observe the people's sentiments and customs. The attendants on the left and right are holding fans, umbrellas, incense burners, and stand outside the curtain.

As for the gate towers on the left and right of Xuande Gate, they are all occupied by prime ministers and noble relatives.

Dong Duolou was the Queen Mother Gao and other relatives of the emperor. The Queen Mother Cao did not appear on such occasions because she was not feeling well.

Xido Tower is where the Prime Minister sits.

The left and right Duolou face each other from east to west, while the Xuande Gate where Du Guan's family sits faces south. The left and right towers are usually not covered by palaces, but now temporary curtains have been set up.

The ministers are two persons, Zhang Yue and Yuan Jiang are looking at the lights under the city tower and the countless people watching the lanterns.

During the Shangyuan Festival when watching lanterns, Zhang Yue had come to Xuande Gate countless times as a member of the common people to visit the emperor and his ministers. But now he was sitting on the gate tower, sharing the Shangyuan Festival with the ministers who were very close at hand and the emperor on the first floor. joy.

The colorful sheds are full of lanterns, and hundreds of thousands of candles compete with the bright moon in the sky.

The people below the city tower passed the torches, moving far and near, and further away was the majestic and huge Bianjing City.

The musicians presented newly composed music to the rulers of the left and right gate towers, and the nobles listened to it. Birds were released from the city tower from time to time, and the birds were covered with gold foil to symbolize the golden phoenix. If they flew to the prime minister's palace or the colorful shed of a noble relative, the emperor would reward them heavily for fun.

Under the scene full of harmony, there is another scene taking place.

Sun Yong, the prefect of Kaifeng Prefecture, took the prisoners who were imprisoned last year and knelt down in front of Duolou, waiting for the emperor's decision.

After many reports, the order was conveyed from upstairs to downstairs.

A group of prisoners were pardoned on the spot. Many of these prisoners cried with joy when they were pardoned on the spot, and kowtowed to Xuandemen repeatedly. Only a few of the most heinous crimes will not be forgiven, as a warning to all people.

Zhang Yue and Yuan Jiang chatted from time to time, and sometimes even talked and laughed happily. In the eyes of outsiders, the relationship between the two was not bad.

Seeing this scene, Yuan Jiang said: "The official can be said to be a benevolent king. He cannot bear the suffering of his people and lets them live so that they can be reunited with their families."

Zhang Yue said: "I heard that in the Zhou Dynasty, the state was governed by painting the land as prisons and cutting wood as officials, instead of using prisons to detain the people. Your Majesty's move is really like that of King Wen."

Yuan Jiang said: "If the people are guilty, we should be lenient. If the people are not guilty, why should we kill them?"

"For example, if Xixia has no faults, the officials will not raise troops to attack. Otherwise, attacking a country that has no sin is not benevolent and righteous, nor is it auspicious."

After Zhang Yue heard what Yuan Jiang said, Xixia was not guilty, so Qingtang was even more innocent. This time he took the initiative to send troops, broke the tacit understanding between the two families, and violated the taboo of attacking an innocent country.

Zhang Yue said: "Mr. Yuan, if Xixia is not guilty? How can we say during the Qingli period that Renmiao is the most benevolent, but the Western thieves insulted Renmiao the most, so why not take revenge from our descendants?"

Yuan Jiang said: "Now that Xixia has already committed the crime of surrender, why has it restarted the war and made the people miserable? The Lord of Xia, Li Bingchang, intentionally attached himself to me."

Zhang Yue said: "Mr. Yuan, how many times has Xixia surrendered and revolted over the years, rebelled and then surrendered again? As a prime minister, you should understand how Xixia is playing tricks on us? Don't trust us easily."

Yuan Jiang still said to himself: "Xixia is unkind, so we cannot be unjust."

Zhang Yue said: "Mr. Yuan, that's not what you said in front of His Majesty."

Yuan Jiang said: "Times have changed, so we should change! Don't be stubborn and ignore tens of thousands of troops."

Zhang Yue asked: "Mr. Yuan, did you say this because of Li Chengzhi?"

Yuan Jiang was told what was on his mind by Zhang Yue, and he immediately said: "Now that Zhang Kai is still delaying going to Huangzhou, the whole army is in danger of being annihilated! Many ministers have advised me to stop the army! You don't know it yet!"

Speaking of this, Yuan Jiang showed an unfathomable meaning.

Zhang Yue said in a calm tone: "I know that Duke Yuan is now enlightened, but the outcome ahead is indeed undecided!"

Yuan Jiang snorted: "Do you deserve a share? Let's see how many people in the house support me in continuing the fight?"

After saying that, Yuan Jiang looked at the seats. On the same step as Yuan Jiang and the others were Feng Jing, Xue Xiang, and Zeng Xiaokuan. Those on the lower step were Zhang Dun, Li Chengzhi, Wang Lian, and Deng Runfu.

The meaning in Yuan Jiang's words seemed that everyone supported him and opposed Zhang Yue.

At this time, the music below was very loud. Zhang Yue watched a horse galloping in the distance. The people below the city tower avoided it one after another, and a smile appeared on his lips.

Yuan Jiang said to Zhang Yue: "Look, sir, in this time of peace, all the princes in the house are toasting and drinking. Why is he sitting across from each other in the corner, making everyone unhappy?"

The implication of Yuan Jiang's words undoubtedly pushed Zhang Yue to the opposite side of everyone. Why can't you, Zhang Yue, follow the crowd? Do you have to go against everyone on the military law and the Qingtang conquest?

Zhang Yue's experience this month is comparable to that of the past year.

Zhang Yue felt that he had underestimated Yuan Jiang, but at this moment, let’s see how you perform?

At this time, the man on horseback seemed to have arrived at the foot of the city tower, and the noise in the city suddenly subsided a bit.

Zhang Yue said to Yuan Jiang: "Duke Yuan, Duke Shu once said that everything in the world is coupled, so there is no one or three, so I want to grasp the most important thing from any coupling."

Yuan Jiang said: "What does Zhang Gong mean?"

Zhang Yue pointed downstairs and said, "That's what it means!"

The lantern viewing scene was noisy. The man on horseback in the audience held a soap flag high and shouted loudly, but no one could hear clearly.

"Lu Bu?" Yuan Jiang was still not dim-sighted.

Yuan Jiang heard a commotion downstairs. It turned out that the official had left the throne and leaned down to look downstairs.

Wang Lian and Li Chengzhi were sitting on a table chatting. They were surprised to see a knight heading downstairs.

Feng Jing recalled that on the night of the Yuan Dynasty that year, he and Wu Chong were also sitting on the gate tower. At that time, Zhang Yue made a surprise attack on Tiandu Mountain and made great achievements. It was also at this time that the good news flew to the capital.

At this time, the knight had been stopped by the soldiers of Kaifeng Prefecture who were responsible for suppressing the people.

After the opponent dismounted, he kowtowed three times to the emperor on Xuande Gate, then held the cloth high in his hands and chanted loudly.

But the scene was so noisy that no one heard clearly what he said.

Except for Sun Yong, the prefect of Kaifeng Prefecture beside him.

The officials under the curtain were also anxious and urged the servant beside them to go down to the tower to ask. At this time, Han Jiang had arrived in front of Zhang Yue and said, "Is this the news from Huangzhou?"

Zhang Yue said: "Reporting to the Prime Minister, I expected this to be the case. Success or failure will depend on these few days."

Han Jiang nodded, and a waiter hurried over and asked, "The officials are anxious at the moment. Which husband will go over to chat with me?"

Several people's lips moved when they heard this.

Han Jiang said: "Just save one person!"

Feng Jing took a deep look at Zhang Yue and had no objection.

Zhang Yue immediately took the order and walked out to Xuande Gate Tower. This section of the road was less than a hundred steps, and Zhang Yue walked neither fast nor slow.

In the cold night, the torch on the city's head swayed in the wind, and the colorful flags planted on the city's head blew past our eyes from time to time. On one side was the noisy Bianjing City, and on the other side was the quiet palace.

The eyes and expressions of Feng Jing, Sima Guang, Fan Zuyu, Yuan Jiang, Li Chengzhi, Wang Lian, Zhang Dun, Cai Que and others all passed by his eyes.

Over the past month, I have been doubted, denied, not understood, and betrayed... Only I can understand the experience.

When Zhang Yue arrived at the gate tower, he saw that Sun Yong, the governor of Kaifeng Prefecture, had already climbed onto the tower.

The official, holding the cloth in his hand, was looking at it seriously.

Sun Yong was covered in sweat and panted, "Your Majesty, that's what happened!"

"It's just that Ali Gu has been captured alive! But I don't know who did it?"

"I think this is just a report from Li Xian alone. The details need to be verified again and again. The rest need to wait for Zhang Kai and Qin Feng Road officials to report before they can be announced to the world and reported to the Ancestral Temple..."

The waiters on the side all lowered their heads when they saw Zhang Yue, and took the initiative to lift the curtain for Zhang Yue, even though the curtain was already very high.

Sun Yong raised his head, glanced at Zhang Yue, and continued: "...Sue it to the Imperial Ancestral Temple and record it in the history of history!"

The officials also looked back at Zhang Yue.

At this moment, the official stood up from his throne and took Zhang Yue's hand.

"Please sit here today, sir!"

The official pointed to the throne.
