Prime Minister

Chapter 466 Ren Shouzhong is finished

In the restaurant, Zhang Yue and Han Zhongyan have a drink for you and a drink for me, and the two continue to drink.

"Sima Jun is really neglected?"

Zhang Yue was slightly surprised: "Just today?"

Han Zhongyan nodded and said, "Exactly."

Zhang Yue said: "Before looking for Lu Xianke, I sent a letter to Sima Gong."

Han Zhongyan said: "It's true. Daddy once said that Sima Junshi is a traitorous and loyal man. No matter what he does, he is just right. In order to establish a reserve, many courtiers have given advice, but why did you give it to him? He just did it? A jackpot."

"Look at the impeachment of Ren Shouzhong again. The person who was impeached first was Lu Xianke, but now that Sima Junshi is so neglectful, the whole world thinks that it was Sima Junshi who brought down Ren Shouzhong! This move is really brilliant!"

Zhang Yue thought about his experience with Sima Guang carefully, and felt that, as Han Zhongyan said, he took advantage of everything: "I don't have a deep relationship with Junshi on weekdays."

Han Zhongyan asked: "Neither Duzhi nor Junshi have a deep relationship, how did he know Lu Xianke?"

Zhang Yue said with a smile: "I knew you would ask this question a long time ago."

Han Zhongyan waved his hand and said, "Forget me asking too much, it's true, although Dad and Lu Xian are not on good terms, sometimes it is not easy to distinguish between friends and enemies in the officialdom!"

Zhang Yue thought, yes, Han Qi and Wang Gongchen are still good friends.

Han Zhongyan continued: "Actually, if you don't ask, I know it all too well. Why did you tell Lu Xianke to help you this time?"

"Because he intends to marry his daughter to Wu Anshi?"

Zhang Yue's first reaction was that Wu Anshi wanted to take a concubine, but then he thought it was impossible.He remembered that a month ago, he heard that Wu Anshi's wife, Fan Shi, was in poor health, but at first he thought it was just a minor illness, so he didn't pay much attention to it.

Seventeen Niang sent someone to visit.

But when Zhang Yue heard that his wife was still ill, Wu Anshi was going to consider...

"Continuation?"

Han Zhongyan nodded: "Exactly."

Zhang Yue thought that his father-in-law had served three times as a transit envoy, but he was never transferred back to the capital because the late emperor didn't like it.But today's officialdom is different, he is very fond of his father-in-law... so his father-in-law plans to transfer back to the capital to take up a post, and he needs help in the officialdom. "

What help in this world is more reliable than in-laws.

Wu Anshi had been looking for flowers and women outside before, but his father-in-law Fan Zhen was a moral model, and he couldn't understand Wu Anshi's behavior of raising an outside room like this.Therefore, Wu Anshi and Fan Zhen broke off contact early, so it was impossible for Fan Zhen to help his father-in-law.

Now Fan's illness, as far as Wu Anshi was concerned, instead of seeking a doctor to cure Fan's illness, he could not wait to find a sequel.

This sounds really chilling, but it is not uncommon for officials and officials whose interests are paramount.

In the official family, it seems that the elder sister died of illness, and the younger sister married everywhere. Zeng Gong, Lu Gongbi, etc. all have this operation. Marriage is an exchange of benefits.

Now Wu Anshi is looking for Xuxian not only for herself, but also for Zhang Yue's father-in-law, looking for a better political springboard.

Zhang Yue said: "I understand, this time I regret that I went to Shuxian to find Lu Xian."

Han Zhongyan laughed haha: "Du Zhi, Du Zhi, I am also surprised that it is not what you always do to find Lu Xianke through the relationship of the Yue family!"

Zhang Yueyan said: "Yes."

He knew that Shi Qi Niang and Fan Shi had always been on good terms, if she found out that her own brother had done such a thing, she would feel very sad.Now he still owes Lu Hui a favor.

But Zhang Yue immediately said: "It doesn't help the matter now, too many complaints can prevent heartbreak, and the wind and things will last forever. I will definitely remember this feeling in the future."

Han Zhongyan raised his glass and said, "Duzhi, your poem is very good, but you don't have to worry too much about human relations. In my opinion, you might as well use this opportunity to mend your quarrel with your brother-in-law."

Zhang Yue said: "How do you know that I am at odds with my uncle?"

Han Zhongyan narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "Duzhi, you have always been very measured in your affairs, and you don't want to owe favors on weekdays, but in the eyes of brother-in-law like this, you don't treat him as your own family, and the two sides are separated. It’s not easy for him to ask you in the future.”

Zhang Yue admired Han Zhongyan, Ya Nei is Ya Nei, such an ability to understand people's hearts...

Zhang Yue said: "What the master and servant said is very true, I have been taught."

Han Zhongyan said with a smile: "I judge from my own heart. Your uncle and I are both in the yamen, and what he thinks in his heart is similar to mine. Speaking of Duzhi, if he doesn't ask me to overthrow Ren Shouzhong this time, I will doubt it. Farewell, Duzhi still treats me, Mr. Han, as a friend."

Zhang Yue also said with a smile: "I have been your friend for a lifetime. To be honest, I had a grudge against Mr. Zhaowen at the beginning, but now that he has been reminded by him for a long time, I only have admiration in my heart. Now He is the only one in the world who has inherited the mantle of Duke Fan Wenzheng."

At first, Zhang Yue thought that Wang Anshi would succeed Fan Zhongyan, but now it seems that Wang Anshi's reform, Fan Zhongyan will also oppose it if he knows about it.

Han Zhongyan said: "Why don't you tell my father what Duzhi said."

"It's more convincing to ask the master and servant!"

Everyone laughed and continued to drink.

And at the moment in the political hall.

Faced with the request from the officials outside, Han Qi immediately issued an empty imperial edict without compunction, and Shang Shu demoted Ren Shouzhong to be the training envoy of the Qizhou regiment.

After Zeng Gongliang read it, he pressed the characters.

Turning to Ouyang Xiu again, Ouyang Xiu also signed the characters after reading it.

Zhao Gai felt troubled, so he took the edict to Ouyang Xiu and asked, "How can the edict be counted without the official's imperial pen?"

Ouyang Xiu pointed to the officials who were discussing the explanation outside the Political Affairs Hall, and said, "The Han Guild has something to say."

Zhao Gai immediately stopped hesitating to mark on the imperial edict.

Then Han Qi took the hall post and ordered Gou Ren Shouzhong to come to the political affairs hall.

Ren Shouzhong knew that the officials outside would punish him severely for making troubles. After seeing the hall post, he was terrified, but he had no choice but to not go, so he said, "I'm not feeling well, so I'll go see Han Gong some other day."

Come to make it humane: "All the officials are talking about it, if you don't go, I'm afraid it will alarm the Queen Mother and the officials, so I invite the nobles to go there!"

"The officials just want an explanation."

Ren Shouzhong took another look at the post, and said, "Wait until I report to the officials, Empress Dowager!"

The man who reported back soon said: "The government has an order. If you say Ren Shouzhong, you can go and go back."

Ren Shouzhong still refused to leave, and hoped that Empress Dowager Cao could save his life by saving his old love. No matter how much the envoy urged him, he refused to go. Finally, after a while, a servant came to see him. This person was none other than Zhang. Mao Ze.

When Ren Shouzhong saw Zhang Mao, his heart turned cold.

Ren Shouzhong pleaded: "Zhang Duzhi, I watched you grow up on the first day you entrusted yourself to the palace. Now that I have died, I hope you will help me with my friendship for many years and let me see you." Empress Dowager. If I don’t say a few words, I will die with regret.”

Zhang Mao said: "Brother Ren, you have served the Empress Dowager for decades, why do you have to wait until today to say anything?"

"Actually, you can tell these things early, but if you don't say it sooner or later, you have to say it today. How can the Queen Mother listen to it?"

"I know you know that the Empress Dowager is soft-hearted and hates the suffering of the elderly in the palace the most, but listen to my advice, wouldn't it be good to keep some affection in your heart? Why do you have to destroy him? Go on the road with peace of mind!"

Ren Shouzhong knew he was done when he heard this.
