Prime Minister

Chapter 808 Letters
As soon as the Pinghe Huang policy came out, all the staff couldn't help being excited and pondering over and over again.

Cai Jing thought to himself that the first thing officials do is to exchange official documents, not to mention the memorials to communicate with the emperor.

If you try to figure it out with your heart, it can be called a lifetime of knowledge.

Like Zhang Gong’s knowledge is as vast as the sea, I have really benefited a lot from what I have learned in the curtain these days.

In fact, Cai Jing's prose is also very good, and he is quite praised among his colleagues, but I feel that after reading this Pinghe Huangce, I can only describe it as admiration.

Not only Cai Jing, but also Cai Bian and Lu Shengqing admired her.

Lu Shengqing knew that his elder brother had always regarded Zhang Yue as an opponent in the officialdom, but he was trusted. Although it was not confiding, he valued everything.

Now that I saw Zhang Yue's flexible handling methods, I thought that I should persuade my brother more in the future, not to easily become an enemy of the other party.

As for Cai Bian, while admiring him, he began to think about Zhang Yue's calligraphy.He likes to write documents, and his calligraphy is extremely high. His calligraphy is better than that of his elder brother Cai Jing.

But looking at Zhang Yue's calligraphy, I feel that decades of skill is not enough to write such characters.

On weekdays, he seldom sees Zhang Yue practicing calligraphy and writing. Many official documents are handmade by him and his elder brother, but his calligraphy skills have reached this level.

Cai Bian is also ashamed of himself.

The son of Pinghe Huangce was sent to Beijing immediately.

Everyone thought that once this letter was signed, it would be sure to be sure, and the emperor would definitely change his mind.

Zhang Yue laughed and said, "Whether things are successful or not, we have no regrets."

All the staff members pondered in their hearts, who dares to say that they are sure, even if there is still a one-tenth possibility, once someone else is in charge of the Northwest, wouldn't all previous efforts be wasted.

Zhang Yue looked at the faces of the people, raised his head and greeted everyone to have breakfast before talking, but he smiled self-deprecatingly in his heart, as expected, there was no such thing as face.

Zhang Yue opened the door, and saw Huang Haoyi who had been waiting all morning, standing there with a blank face.

Everyone laughed when they saw it.

Huang Haoyi shook his head, and immediately ordered someone to bring food and rice.

As long as he is not in the military camp, Zhang Yue eats with his staff every day, talks about military and political affairs, and sets an example by himself. The atmosphere at the table can be said to be harmonious.

A gentleman's journey is to cultivate one's self with tranquility, and to cultivate virtue with frugality.

Zhang Yue admired Zhuge Liang's words very much, and used it to warn everyone that although the meals in Jinglue Mansion were not simple, they were not extravagant either.

Zhang Yue himself eats with gusto, but not everyone else.

Among the staff, Cai Jing is the most greedy for appetite, and he is extremely delicate in eating.

When everyone discusses and eats, Cai Jing only eats some, and then returns to his dormitory to start a small stove and wait.

After Zhang Yue knew about this, he ordered Cai Jing several times. Why did Yuan Chang eat so much? Does the food in Jinglue Mansion not suit your appetite?
At the banquet, Zhang Yue once saw that Cai Jing ate less, so he added a bowl of rice for him, and then said to Cai Jing earnestly: "Yuan Chang, calmness is used to cultivate one's morality, and frugality is used to cultivate virtue. Remember, remember."

After Jing Zhangyue said so, Cai Jing was no longer ashamed to make a small fuss.

From then on, Cai Jing also learned to be frugal in basic necessities of life.

Cai Bian could see all this, he knew that Zhang Yue was really cultivating Cai Jing.

Although he has the best father-in-law in the world who doesn't pay much attention to food and clothing, his wife has not done this.

When Wang Anshi married his daughter, Mrs. Wu used brocade tents, and the reputation of extravagance spread throughout Bianjing.Even the Son of Heaven heard about it and asked Wang Anshi, "Qing is a great Confucian family, how can a married woman use the brocade tent?"
Wang Anshi was ashamed when he heard this.

In short, after marrying the prime minister's daughter, Cai Bian and his wife's daily living expenses are also extravagant.

Although Cai Bian doesn't like the appetite, he is also quite particular about the cost.

After Cai Bian came to the Zhangyue shogunate, he saw a patch on Cai Jing's clothes for the first time, and he couldn't help but wondered, "Brother, what are you doing?"

Cai Jing sighed and said, "Marshal, you don't like me waiting extravagantly."

When Cai Bian saw that his elder brother had changed his temper, he also took it seriously. He also knew that he was an official under Zhang Yue's curtain, so he should be cautious.

From then on, the clothes are not fragrant, and the utensils used are no longer particular.

The transformation of Cai Jing and Cai Bian brothers since entering the shogunate is very clear.

Zhang Yue also has his own intentions. He believes that with his own actions, coupled with precepts and deeds, Cai Jing will not be the same Cai Jing in history.

Seeing Zhang Yue's behavior, Cai Bian told his father-in-law, Wang Anshi, about Zhang Yue's work in a letter from home.

During the conversation, he sincerely praised Zhang Yue.

And Wang Anshi, who is in Bianjing, knows his son-in-law.This son-in-law was chosen by him personally, although it is not as suitable as Zhang Zhi, but Da Song can't pick a few.

The purpose of Zhang Yue letting Cai Bian enter the shogunate is to reassure himself, saying that he has nothing to hide from you, Wang Anshi.

When Cai Bian talked about Zhang Yue's style of governing the court and governing politics, the other party not only admired his son-in-law, but even Wang Anshi admired him very much. He thought that his character and ability were first-rate, but his political views did not agree with him.

Wang Anshi said to Lu Huiqing who was on the side: "Wang Zhongzheng impeached Zhang Yue three times in a row, saying that he abandoned the land and feared the crime of war, but according to Yuan Du's letters, this is not the case."

Lu Huiqing also received a letter from Lu Shengqing, and knew the situation in the Northwest well.

I regard Zhang Yue as a strong enemy in official career, but Zhang Yue never regards Lu Huiqing as an outsider.

As long as Zhang Yue doesn't threaten him, he doesn't mind selling favors.What's more, he saw that Wang Anshi also supported Zhang Yue to continue to serve as the Xihe economic envoy.

Lu Huiqing said: "My lord, I don't think this matter lies in saving it, but in your majesty."

Wang Anshi said: "At the beginning, I did not agree with Wang Zhongzheng being the supervisor of the army."

Lu Huiqing said: "Now that Wang Zhongzheng and Zhang Duzhi have torn their faces, we have to switch to another one to bear it, or another one to take it. At this time, your words, Mr. Xianggong, can be said to be as good as your Majesty's words."

Wang Anshi said: "But what Wang Zhongzheng said this time is very unfavorable to Zhang Duzhi. I think if His Majesty is really angry, the Xihe Jinglue will only have to change the position. Have you thought of a good candidate?"

Lu Huiqing said: "There are only Shen Xingzong (Shen Qi) or Zhang Zihou."

Shen Qi and Zhang Dun are the two most knowledgeable officials in the royal party.

Wang Anshi nodded and said: "These two are capable, but His Majesty doesn't like Zhang Zihou, and Shen Xingzong's talent is a bit inferior."

After a pause, Wang Anshi said: "In terms of coming and going, Zhang Duzhi is the most competent."

Lu Huiqing nodded, otherwise Wang Anshi would not have come forward to recommend Zhang Yue as the economic envoy after Cai Ting had no hope of becoming the economic envoy when the seven prime ministers elected him.

While they were talking, one person reported, "Sign up to Mr. Xihe Road, and the pacifier of Xihe Road has sent a letter to greet you!"

Wang Anshi was a little surprised when he heard this, and Lu Huiqing was also taken aback. You must know that Zhang Yue and Wang Anshi were at odds at the beginning.

In addition, since Zhang Yue became the economic envoy of Xihe Road, except for official documents, he has never written a private letter of greetings to Wang Anshi.

Lu Huiqing, who is already complacent, said in her heart, what a good Zhang Duzhi, you are really able to bend and stretch!
