Prime Minister

Chapter 462 Taiwan Remonstrance (Second Change)

Hearing that Xu Wu was inquiring about him, Zhang Yue's heart tightened.

The most feared thing about the impeachment memorial is that the news will be leaked. Throughout the ages, many people have been bad at the door, and the most important thing is that Zhang Yue still does not have the right to directly report to the emperor.

It is the right of the ministers above the two systems to directly report to the emperor. They can use the Zhazi to report to the emperor, so that the memorial can go directly to the emperor's case, thus avoiding the situation where the emperor was ostracized by the prime minister in the Tang Dynasty.

In addition to that, they are admonitions, and they can face the emperor at any time.

As for officials under the two systems to report to the emperor, like Zhang Yue, they must write a form and hand it over to the superior official, and then go through a series of procedures before handing it over to the emperor's desk.

Such news must have leaked out, and Ren Shouzhong, who was by the emperor's side, found out, and he would be miserable by then.

So this is a pain in the ass, Zhang Yue wanted to impeach the people around the emperor, but he couldn't see the emperor or he didn't have the power to speak out.

However, Zhang Yue had already thought of a way, that is to use Taiwan's admonition to replace himself with the Shu.

Zhang Yue's book case has a list of today's officials admonishing Taiwan.

They are the censor Zhongcheng Tang Jie, the censor Gong Dingchen, the censor Zhao Zhan, the censor Fu Yaoyu and Zhao Ding in the palace, and the supervisor Lin Danian.

As well as admonishing officers Sima Guang and Lu Hui.

If you don't go through Taiwan to admonish officials, there is another way, which is to use Zha Zi to play.

Of course, the problem with false use of Zhazi is that it is regarded as disrupting the order of the use of official documents. In the past, officials who did this in the past would be relegated.

Of course, there is another one that is the most impossible, which is to meet the officials or the queen mother in person and hand over the memorial!
Therefore, Zhang Yue returned to the original option and chose a person from among the admonitions to go to school for him.

It seems that Tang Jie, Sima Guang, and Lu Huo are all well-known among the ministers advising Taiwan. Zhang Yue thought that the chances of these people having contact with Ren Shouzhong were very small.

Among the three, the only one Zhang Yue has friendship with is Sima Guang.

When the two of them took office in the official family, it can be said that they pushed hard.

Sima Guang left two impressions on Zhang Yue. One is that he has a strong sense of justice and responsibility, and he has the habit of saying things every month during Taiwan admonitions, otherwise he will be regarded as incompetent.

Some Taiwan admonishers are very perfunctory, and they talk about innocuous matters.

But Sima Guang is different, he can be said to have something to say every time, and he can be said to be the most daring person among Taiwan's admonitions.

Another is political scheming.

At the Sutra Banquet, Emperor Renzong made up his mind to establish Zhao Zongshi as the prince, and Zhang Yue wrote a big "obedience" to Sima Guang in his heart.

At the same time, Sima Guang and Ren Shouzhong became deadly rivals in supporting Zhao Zongshi.

At that time, Emperor Renzong was going to enshrine Zhao Zongshi, but Ren Shouzhong said a few words and wanted to play tricks. Sima Guang said to Emperor Renzong directly in front of him that there must be a villain here to speak to His Majesty, saying that His Majesty is prosperous in spring and autumn, and his children and grandchildren will be thousands of years old. Billion, why bother to consider such an unknown matter.Such a villain is not without foresight, but has evil intentions... Then he compared Ren Shouzhong to Ma Yuanzhi.

In the end, Emperor Renzong made up his mind and alienated Ren Shouzhong because of this. This move can really kill two birds with one stone.

Therefore, Zhang Yue wrote the memorial and prepared to hand it over to Sima Guang. The next day was the tenth day, which was also the day when the officials took a bath.

When Zhang Yue was about to go out, he found out that Han Zhongyan, Wang Zhichen and others had invited him to have a drink at Fanlou in the same year.

Zhang Yue thought to himself, if he failed in the matter of going to college, he must be involved in a wide range of things, so he should not get involved in these same years.So Zhang Yue didn't go to Fan Lou, but went directly to Sima Guang's house.

Zhang Yue was wearing casual clothes. When he went out, he saw Xu Wu was cleaning in front of the steps. When he saw him, he smiled and said, "My lord is going out. I'll lead the horse for you."

Zhang Yue said: "Alright."

Xu Wu led the horse to Zhang Yue and said courteously: "I fed the horse last night, so it must be energetic today."

Zhang Yue nodded and said: "Of course, the horse has no night grass and is not fat. Today, I just went out for a drink while I was resting."

Zhang Yue usually has the habit of going out and drinking some wine alone.

Xu Wu also knew, seeing Zhang Yue took the initiative to tell himself with a smile: "Master, drink less, or Madam will be unhappy."

Zhang Yue said with a smile: "Forget it, just don't talk too much."

After speaking, Zhang Yue got on his horse and went to a wine shop near Sima Guang's house.

Zhang Yue tied the horse outside the restaurant and asked for a private room, and asked Zhang Gong to guard the door, not allowing anyone to enter, while he left from the back door of the restaurant to the back door of Sima Guang's house.

Zhang Yue knocked on the back door and entered, and an old servant led Zhang Yue to see Sima Guang.

Although Sima Guang is now a high-ranking official, his house is still very small and dimly lit.

When Zhang Yue saw Sima Guang, he was wearing a shabby robe, fetching water to wash his face in the courtyard.

It hasn't rained in the past few days, but the ground in the courtyard is very wet, but Sima Guang calmly wrings out a towel to wash his face.

The old servant wanted Zhang Yue to wait by the gate, but he heard Sima Guang say, "Duzhi is not a foreigner, but a friend of my Wangnian, just let him in."

After hearing this, Zhang Yue walked to Sima Guang's side, but saw that Sima Guang was washing his face in a leisurely manner, wringing out the towel and then rubbing his face, repeating this three times.

Zhang Yue said in his heart that compared to his good friend Wang Anshi, Sima Guang is a clean person.Sima Guang threw the towel into the basin, and the old servant left with the basin.

Sima Guang invited Zhang Yue to the study. After Zhang Yue entered, he felt a musty smell in the study, obviously because it hadn't been exposed to the sun for a long time.

But Sima Guang suddenly said to Zhang Yue: "Du Zhi, you won't come to this old man if you don't have anything to do, you still go through the back door, but what rumors do you want to tell this old man?"

Zhang Yue said to Sima Guang, "I have something to report."

Then Zhang Yue handed Sima Guang his memorial.

Sima Guang didn't read the memorial, and then said to Zhang Yue: "Clean face is the foundation of my ministers. I used to not pay much attention to appearance, but after I became an admonisher, I always thought of the principle of using people as mirrors. If there are flaws on the mirror, How can you dress properly according to the person?"

"Duzhi, when you first became an official, you must remember these things. As an official, you must be upright, so you can dare to speak up. As an admonisher, I am the medium between the official and the people, so the old man treats everyone who wants This old man speaks like this to officials."

Zhang Yuedao: "I have heard that the essence of an official is to listen to the expo and get the facts from the facts. I heard that Sima Xueshi once said that as long as you make a speech, you should not worry about the inappropriateness of others' words. Those who don't speak."

"The old man said so."

Sima Guang took a deep look at Zhang Yue, then opened the memorabilia, read it, and pondered.

Sima Guang said: "Is everything you said here true? Although the officials allow me to say what the officials have heard, but I can't really hear the rumors. I still have to check the facts."

Zhang Yue said: "Report to the bachelor, and the officials will check one by one..."

At that moment, Zhang Yue told Sima Guang the ins and outs of his investigation.

Sima Guang nodded frequently after listening to Zhang Yue's words, but still said cautiously: "It seems credible now, but whether it is true as what Du said, I still need to research carefully! I will give you an explanation at that time." .”

Zhang Yue said in his heart, it's broken, it turns out that Sima Guang is a chronic person, and I don't know how long he will have to wait until he finds out.
