Prime Minister

Chapter 481
Zhang Fang and Zhang Yi came to the door in person.

"So the hostess talked to Ah Xi, and you persuaded him personally?"

Zhang Yi blushed with sweat and said, "Brother Yue..."

"Who is Brother Yue with you?" Zhang Yue scolded.

Zhang Wei took a deep breath and said: "Zhang Taichang, I didn't think carefully about this matter. I was trying to persuade Axi to continue the exam. I gave up the ranking myself. I think he can accept it..."

Zhang Yi said everything.

Zhang Yue said: "If you want to abandon the list, you will abandon it yourself. Why do you have to say something? And you said it was not deliberate."

Zhang Yi lowered his head and said: "Zhang Taichang, I know that what I say at the moment is useless, but I have a friendship with Ah Xi, and I will not harm him no matter what."

After speaking, Zhang Yi raised his head and said, "Zhang Taichang, I have a clear conscience."

After Zhang Yu finished speaking, Zhang Shi said dejectedly: "You go, I don't want to hear any more."

Zhang Fang said to Zhang Yue: "I really didn't know about this beforehand. I thought about it later, whether it's Ah Xi or Quan Zi, I don't want them to drop the list."

Zhang Yue said: "It's useless to talk about my uncle's affairs. Now my nephew has abandoned the list, but your son is able to go to high school."

"You said that this matter was unintentional, and I would like to believe it, but it doesn't matter if the matter has been intentional or unintentional? Don't say any more, otherwise..."

Zhang Fang, Zhang Wei heard what Zhang Yue said, and they all had no face to stay and leave in embarrassment.

Zhang Yue said to the depressed Zhang Shi: "I don't think Zhang Zhifu may have done it on purpose. Ah Xi chose this matter himself. He really makes people worry."

"It's the only way now."

Zhang Shi Yushi looked at each other, feeling sad.

Immediately after the provincial examination, the list was released, because there is no palace examination, the first place in the provincial examination is like the number one scholar.Finally, the province is Peng Ruli, a member of Pan Yang.

Because they did not take the palace examination, the top three were only awarded the treatment of junior officials, which was the same as the second place in the imperial examination in the sixth and eighth years of Jiayou.

As for Zhang Yi, he won the first place in the lock hall test, so he can also be called the province.

There are many celebrities in this subject, so I won't list them one by one.

However, after the provincial examination, Su Shi had returned to Beijing from Fengxiang Mansion to report on his work, and was arranged by Han Qi for the examination.

Su Shi wrote "Confucius from Advanced Theory" and "The Spring and Autumn Period Determines the Evil and Righteousness of the World" during the museum examination, which were unanimously praised by all the imperial scholars and won the third place.

This is generally an ancient event with his third-class system.

Su Shi sentenced Dengwen Guyuan to stay in Bianjing to serve the old man, while Su Zhe went to Daming Mansion to serve as an official.

Now Su Shi's full official title is Dali Sicheng, Zhishiguan, and Dengwen Guyuan.

Su Zhe was about to leave Beijing, and Su Shi had just returned to Beijing. Zhang Yue invited the two of them to his home for a drink.

Su Shi was awarded the post of Zhishiguan, which made Zhang Yue mutter a thing or two.Zhang Yuezhi Jixianyuan is just below Zhishiguan.

Three pavilions and one pavilion.

The Zhaowen Hall has the highest status, followed by the History Hall, the Jixian Academy, and the Secret Pavilion the lowest.

The same is true for the ranking of prime ministers, Zhao Wenxiang is the highest, and the second is the history museum.

However, Zhang Yue's own official is two ranks higher than Su Shi.

This has no other meaning. It is simply impossible for an official to say that there is no comparison in his heart.

After Su Shi was given a new post, he had to see the emperor as usual. Su Zhe said to Su Shi: "Brother, you should be careful when you meet the official to thank you. You must not agree to what the official wants you to promise."

Su Shi asked, "Why?"

Zhang Yue thought to himself, Su Shi is full of five dimensions, but the skill point of politics is not added?

Su Zhe said: "I heard what Du Zhi said before. He heard something in the court."

Su Shi was silent, and now the officials are paying more attention to him. Han Qi said that the officials heard about his reputation before he was enthroned, and wanted to use him as a patent, but Han Qi objected, and asked Su Shi to repair the daily notes for Han Qi , and finally called for a post in the library.

Zhang Yuedao: "Recently, the official family wants to recruit people everywhere. For example, Zhou Mengyang and Wang Guangyuan are old people from the palace, and they all want to reuse them."

Su Shi said: "It is natural for the official to ascend the throne and enter the people."

Zhang Yue said: "It's good to enter people, but after April, the period of the first emperor's Daxiang will expire, and the title of King Pu will be reconsidered at that time. Brother Zizhan has many friends in Beijing, I invite you to ask, how to answer ?”

Su Shi said with a smile: "It turns out that the former emperor gave the country to the officials, and since he inherited his career, he was called the emperor. This is where the etiquette lies, and it is indisputable."

Zhang Yue and Su Zhe looked at each other, both showing helplessness.

Su Zhe said: "But my brother offended the officials by saying this. The officials here want to use you, and you... if it gets to the ears of the officials, wouldn't it be hatred?"

Zhang Yue thought it was more than that, Ouyang Xiu would be very sad if you Su Shi said that.

Su Shi said: "That's right, what Ziyou said is reasonable. But since I'm a good friend, I wouldn't gossip about it like this. I believe that if you don't let others down, they won't let you down. I still have some insight into people. Besides, politics is clear now. , how can there be so many villains."

Su Zhe said, "Brother, have you forgotten Wang Jiefu?"

Su Shi said: "Wang Jiefu is just unreasonable, not a villain. He is also a person with the world in mind. Jiu Sanlang doesn't see people that way."

Su Shi said again: "Actually, I don't want to be an official in Beijing... I have always had the temperament to say something. But I definitely don't mean to disrespect officials."

Zhang Yue said: "Brother Zizhan, if things go wrong in the world, they will go bad here. Those who hurt you are the people around you. Today we are friends, and tomorrow I will take your words out of context."

Su Zhe nodded heavily, also agreeing with Zhang Yue.

At the unanimous request of Zhang Yue and Su Zhe, Su Shi reluctantly agreed not to express his views on Huangbo Huangkao easily.

The three continued to drink, and Su Shi told an interesting story about his return to Beijing from Fengxiang.

His entourage fell into an evil spirit on the way, and others said that he offended the mountain god.Su Shi went to the mountain god to pray.

After praying, Su Shi continued on the road and suddenly the wind and sand hit his face.Others persuaded him that the mountain god hadn't appeased his anger yet, so don't go there, go back and continue praying.

Su Shi said that my fate is up to me, and he continued to walk. In the end, the wind and sand subsided, and the entourage regained their sobriety.

Speaking of this, all three laughed.

Su Shi also said that because of the construction of the imperial mausoleum, the people were forced to work hard from Shaanxi to Bianjing.

Su Shi couldn't stop talking about his experiences in Fengxiang Mansion. There were pains and hardships, and he lamented how difficult the people's livelihood was, but in the end it all turned into a side dish.

When Zhang Yue was asked about it, Zhang Yue briefly talked about handing over to the prison.Zhang Yue put it lightly.

The three drank the wine until midnight.

April of the second year of Zhiping.

Zhang Qiu sent a letter from Sichuan to report his safety, which also reassured the Zhang Yue family who had been worried about him.

At this time, the officials ordered the court officials to discuss the name of his biological father, Prince Pu.

The dispute between Puyi started, and the ministers of the DPRK and China also split into two factions.

One school is the Zhongshu school headed by the prime ministers of Zhongshu, Han Qi, Zeng Gongliang, and Ouyang Xiu.

There is also a faction that is Sima Guang and the Taiwanese admonition faction led by Lu Heo.

Most of the courtiers sided with the Taiwan Adviser School, accusing the Zhongshu School of catering to the officials' private relatives. Only a few people such as Liu Chang and Zeng Gong were on the side of the Zhongshu School.

Zhang Yue knew that since the Puyi dispute had begun, it would not be able to stop for a while.

Although he is a court official, he is not under the waiting system, and he is not in the Taichang Liyuan now, so he avoided the Puyi dispute.

Now he is only concentrating on handing over to prison.

Luoyang and Shaanxi sub-introduction offices have been set up, and business is booming.

And Lu Gongbi, the new envoy of the Third Division, also took office.

Lu Gongbi's younger brother Lu Gongzhu is now the deputy envoy of the household department, and the two brothers hold the money bag of the Song Dynasty.

Earlier, at the discussion of King Pu, some officials suggested that King Pu should be called Huangbo. Duke Lu said to his face, "Huangbo is what Zhenzong came to call Taizu. How can he be called Taizu by King Pu?"

Because of the success of the official family, Lu Gong wrote it, and the two brothers Lu Gongbi were reused.

As a result, not long after Lu Gongbi took office as the third envoy, the Puyi dispute officially began. A group of officials angrily approached Lu Gong to question, were you the one who said that he should not be called the emperor?
Back then, your father, Lu Yijian, was more or less trusted by the late emperor, and gave your Lu family such wealth and honor, but when the new king came to the throne, did you, Lu Gong, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, betray the late emperor for the sake of glory and wealth?
Mr. Lu retorted very recklessly: "Nonsense, I just didn't approve of being called Huangbo, but I didn't say anything in favor of being called Huangkao. There are two fathers suspected of being called Huangkao. It should be avoided in front of His Majesty, and should not be tabooed with the Seven Temples. In short, what I mean is that you must spread it indiscriminately!"

Zhang Yue laughed after hearing this. Mr. Lu's double-dealing game is really bad. The reason why he persuaded Su Shi to speak cautiously is to prevent this situation.

Lu Gongbi's new official took office, and he had his own welcome banquet.The banquet is in the official office of the third department, and Zhang Yue and other judges come to the banquet together.

Zhang Yue looked at Lu Gongbi's unsmiling expression, and thought to himself that this person is an old man.

Before Lu Gongbi took office, more than one official of the third department told Zhang Yue that this man was the one who most resembled Lu Yijian among the Lu family's sons.

After drinking for three rounds, Lu Gongbi said to his subordinates: "When I was the shepherd envoy, the official family was still a vassal king. Once I got a bad horse, and the official family asked me to change it. I didn't change it. This time I served as the third secretary. Shi, the official asked me why I didn't change it at that time?"

"This is the official way, where the law of the country is, it can't be easier. If every vassal king has to change horses, what is the prestige of the court? After hearing this, the official said to me, I knew Qingzhi at that time. At that time, the imperial court sometimes asked him to do things, and he often couldn't make a decision immediately, so the three divisions kept more things. After Cai Jixiang, how do you do it?"

Zhang Yue and the officials of the third division were all thinking after hearing this, what does it mean that the court asks Cai Xiang for business?It was the officials who asked Cai Xiang to lend some money to him for private use, but Cai Xiang refused.

Lu Gongbi said: "I told the officials at that time that Cai Jixiang was very diligent in official affairs, and there was nothing missing."

All the officials nodded their heads and said, this is a good point.

Lu Gongbi did not have the emperor to promote him, but knelt and licked the emperor. This is the integrity of officials.

Lu Gongbi said: "Before my new appointment, no matter how you passed me on, I didn't care about you, but there is one thing I want to tell you first. Cai Jixiang established the rules at the beginning, so it is. My Xiao Follow the rules, you can't change them!"

All the officials of the three divisions said together: "I would like to obey the order of the Governor."

The following officials went up to toast one by one, and when it was Zhang Yue's turn, Lu Gongbi said to Zhang Yue: "Zhang Taichang, come to the hall tomorrow, I have something to say to you."
