Prime Minister

Chapter 358
Wu Chong asked Zhang Yue to speak, while Shi Qi Niang stayed in the hall.

The side hall where we speak has three sizes, and a pair of agarwood screens divide the side hall into two rooms inside and outside.

There are sofas, chairs and bookshelves on the outside, and bookshelves on the inside. There are dozens of pens in a row, countless ink ingots and square inkstones, and a lotus stand with a water jar is placed next to the desk.

Wu Chong and Zhang Yue were talking in the room, and Wu Chong told Yuan Sui who was beside him: "Go and guard the door, don't let people in if there is nothing to do."

Yuan Sui responded, and immediately walked out of the side hall to guard the door.

At this moment, Zhang Yue also understood that Wu Chong must have something to say from his confidant.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yue couldn't help but glance at the protruding part of Wu Chong's neck.In fact, Zhang Yue also heard some rumors that Wu Chong, as a first-level official of the governor, reported to the officials after returning to Beijing.

When Wu Chong was serving as a transshipment envoy in Shaanxi, he had a boil on his neck for some reason.

When I returned to Beijing to report on my work, the officials who always liked to judge people by their appearance were a little unhappy.

Afterwards, the officials told Fu Bi and Han Qi, who were prime ministers at the time, that Wu Chong was ill.

After Fu Bi and Han Qi went back, they listed Wu Chong out of the hall's book and put it in a separate book, probably because the officials didn't like him and didn't want him to be an official in Beijing.

Therefore, Wu Chong served as a transshipment envoy to the west of Beijing, Shaanxi transshipment envoy, and now he is serving as a transshipment envoy in Huainan. Anyway, he served as a transshipment envoy for three terms.

"To teach you to know, the imperial court sent me to Hedong as a transfer envoy..."

As soon as Wu Chong spoke, Zhang Yue was stunned when he heard it. This is the fourth term. It seems that he will never be transferred back to the rhythm of the capital.But this is not bad, the imperial court has an unwritten rule that to serve as the deputy envoy of the third division, the official must be above Yuanwailang, and at the same time experience the three-way transfer and six-way delivery envoys.

Although the deputy envoys of the third department will be dismissed after Zhenzong, the deputy envoys of Yantie, Duzhi, and the Ministry of Households are also given priority from the long-term transfer envoys.

"...I'm going to leave the day after tomorrow, and I don't have much time for small talk. Since you are my son-in-law, I have something to tell you today."

Zhang Yue said respectfully: "Father-in-law is here, my son-in-law is listening carefully."

Wu Chong said: "When my elder brother was alive, he was often afraid of officials and family members blocking the way of the humble family to become an official. My Wu family's two generations of Wu Jinshi are considered to be first-class. "

"So you also know that my elder brother and I don't want to train the children of our family to be officials. We just let An Du, An Shi, and An Chi go. If you love to study, you can study. If you don't, then you will be an official. Don't talk about making progress in your official career."

Zhang Yue suddenly realized that this was the case. It turned out that the Wu family gave up on Wu Andu, Wu Anshi, and Wu An's current generation's training, and no longer followed the strict requirements of their generation, and used this way to maintain wealth and wealth.

In fact, this path can be used for reference. For example, Wang Dan, Yan Shu, and Fu Bi all chose to let their sons play soy sauce.But they all used to dominate the world, so what should they do with the huge amount of political resources in their hands? Will they be wasted?Therefore, they all cultivated their sons-in-law as prime ministers in the end.

Wu Chong said: "Don't talk about An Shi, An Chi failed the Jinshi examination, even if he did, I would not easily let them become officials. They are not expected to be officials. They should guard their ancestors and live comfortably for the rest of their lives. But Du Zhiyou is different, the road to being an official is not easy, but since you are the leader of the world, you must have realized it a long time ago."

Hearing this, Zhang Yue already fully understood what Wu Chong meant.

"Father-in-law is right. My son-in-law wishes to be in a high position in the future, but not only that, but my son-in-law also has some ambitions, and wants to do his best for the common people."

Wu Chong nodded, he appreciated Zhang Yue's confession, this was the conversation between Weng and his son-in-law.

Wu Chong said: "It's true that you are in a high position, but the last sentence you said made you go further on this road. An Shi, An Chi can't see this, so the most important thing is to guard the family business."

After a pause, Wu Chong said: "Since you are interested in this, why do you ignore Mr. Han's overtures to you?"

Zhang Yue knew that Wu Chong had finally asked this question.

Zhang Yue wanted to speak, but Wu Chong interrupted: "Second Su was recommended by Ou Gong to Han Gong, and now Er Su is valued by Han Gong, Ou Gong did not blame him, but took pleasure in it. Ou Gong is a magnanimous person , I won’t care about such trivial matters with you.”

Zhang Yue said: "My son-in-law's teacher, Mr. Boyi, was humiliated by Mr. Han face to face. This matter is still hard for my son-in-law to let go!"

"fool!"

Wu Chong was secretly happy in his heart, but he cursed on his face, which shocked Zhang Yue.

"Han Gong thinks highly of you so much, but you don't know how to praise you because you are just a mountain person."

Zhang Yue said: "It's not that the students are ignorant of flattery, they are determined not to offend in person, but they don't want to encourage Han Gong. Besides, Han Gong's eldest son Nai Taixue and I are classmates, and we have a very good friendship."

Wu Chong said: "If you don't follow his solicitation, you will be offended, and you will say something that will never be offended. You think that if you make friends with his son, you will be fine."

Wu Chong changed the subject and said: "However, Prime Minister Han Xianggong can pull a boat in his belly, and he can tolerate Jiefu's stubbornness, let alone you. Han Xianggong is a person who loves talents and cherishes them. If you don't go, let him go. It’s hard to use it well. So you still don’t change it?”

Zhang Yue said: "It's too late to change now. Mr. Han only appointed me as the school manager of the secret pavilion, and he didn't try for a position in the museum, and he didn't promote him. There is no need to use any name, that is, I am too young now to take a test in the museum. The job is."

Wu Chong said: "You know it all too well, it seems that I don't need to waste my time. I'm going back to Beijing to pay a visit to Han Gong, and he has already allowed you to try the office."

Zhang Yue was overjoyed when he heard the words: "My son-in-law depends on his father-in-law for everything."

Wu Chong said: "What do you and my family say? Han Gong is not selling my face, but Wen Xianggong's face. I asked Wen Xianggong to write a letter, and Han Gong finally made this favor."

It turned out to be Wen Yanbo's face.

Wen Yanbo, Wu Yu, Han Qi, Bao Zheng, and Zhao Gai are all Jinshi in the Tiansheng Five-Year List.

Wen Yanbo and Wu Yu have a very good friendship. In the marriage between Wen Jifu and Shiwu Niang, Wu Yu was the one who set up a bridge between the two.

Wen Yanbo, Han Qi, and Fu Bi can be called the three famous prime ministers.

Wen Yanbo is a thousand-year-old fox. He is a well-rounded official with a good official voice.

When he and Fu Bi paid homage to each other, all the officials celebrated each other, which shows that they are very popular.

Even the officials heard about it and said to Ouyang Xiu: "The old story of appointing virtuous ministers originated from dreaming or divination. How can it be compared to the popular expectations now."

Among the three phases, Wen Yanbo has the highest qualifications. Unlike the good friends between Han Qi and Fu Bi, Wen Yanbo has maintained a good friendship with the two all his life, and the most important thing is that he has lived a very long time.

Han Qi, after Fu Bi passed away, he was still alive and kicking.

Zhang Yue said: "I really don't know how to thank Mr. Wen."

Wu Chong said: "You and Wen Xianggong don't need to thank you. On the contrary, Wen Xianggong appreciates you very much, saying that he appreciates your articles and knowledge very much."

Zhang Yue heard Wu Chong say this, and suddenly remembered that Wen Jifu had also said this to himself.At first, I thought it was a polite remark, but I didn't expect it to be true.
