Prime Minister

For Su Shi, Su Zhe brothers, Zhang Yue and the two have a very good friendship.

Even if they are all opponents of the new law.

Su Shi's talent can be seen 1000 years ago and 1000 years later, and no one can surpass him.Su Shi is a person with a great humanistic spirit and a very charming personality.

But to be honest, talents like Su Shi, unless they are willing to hide their sharp edge, it is difficult to survive in this world.

But Su Zhe's talent is not as good as his brother's, at least his political ability is worse than his brother's.

Since the two separated in Xining for three years, Zhang Yue and Su Shi have been in constant correspondence, one or two letters every month. Sometimes no matter how busy the war is, Zhang Yue never forgets to write to Su Shi.

Su Shi's letters also teased Zhang Yue. Using Liu Yong's words to describe the land of Hangzhou, it is "the southeast is prosperous, the three Wu cities are metropolises, and Qiantang has been prosperous since ancient times."

Su Shi is the general judge in Hangzhou. With his talent, he can easily manage the official affairs in the yamen.The extra time on weekdays is to be lazy and lazy, traveling all over Hangzhou, climbing mountains during the day, swimming in the lake at night, and sitting in ancient temples for a day when I have time, chatting with monks.

The poems did not stop, and many of them were written during the feast of drinking flowers and wine. From the dignitaries, to the singers, the common people were all fans of Dasu.

Su Shi shared these daily lives with Zhang Yue, and the conversation was full of interesting things, and he satirized Wang Anshi's new method from time to time.

In the fifth year of Xining, Chen Xiang went to Hangzhou to serve as magistrate.

One is Zhang Yue's teacher and the other is his close friend, and they get along very well.

Later, there was a letter from Su Shi and Zhang Yue about a young man named Huang Tingjian who wrote very good poems, and this Huang Tingjian was also a disciple of Chen Xiang, a senior brother, and the son-in-law of Sun Jue, the magistrate of Huzhou at that time. Opportunity to meet each other.

It happened that Xu Xi was under Zhang Yue's curtain at that time, and Xu Xi was Huang Tingjian's brother-in-law. Zhang Yue asked Xu Xi, and Xu Xi said that his uncle admired Su Shi very much.

Zhang Yue was overjoyed when he heard that, so he helped the two get acquainted.

But Zhang Yue and Su Zhe had a better friendship, and Su Zhe was able to tell Zhang Yue what he said from the bottom of his heart: "Commander, this is where the emperor is with his teacher, the king is with his friend, the overlord is with his minister, and the subjugated is with his servant."

Zhang Yue understood Su Shi, and Su Zhe both admired the idea of ​​the emperor and his ministers co-governing the world, and they all opposed the reform to strengthen the emperor's power.

This is their position.

"Since the reform, the official family has used Wang Jiefu as the prime minister, and has actually collected the government, military, wealth, and Taiwan admonishment. Now the power in the hands of the official family may even surpass that of the Taizu Taizong."

Zhang Yue heard the words silently, if he wants to be promoted, the fastest is the Legalist.

Study how to move power up step by step, and get promoted the fastest.Confucianism is the movement of the opposite way.

Too much power was collected, so Wang Anshi's prime minister was used to block it.

Opponents of the reform think that the imperial court will stop the reform if Wang Anshi's aspect is ignored, which is political naivety.It is as ridiculous as killing Shang Yang and the Qin Dynasty abolished the reform.

Su Zhe's heart was like a bright mirror.

People in the Ming Dynasty didn't speak dark words, so since Su Zhe mentioned this, Zhang Yue said: "Ziyou, you can't let the reform go, and embarrassing Lu Jifu is a conflict with the government."

Zhang Yue's words are plain, do Su Zhe and the others want to oppose Lu Huiqing by themselves?No, fighting with Lu Huiqing now will easily provoke a political dispute. At that time, Lu Huiqing will push the boat along and label Zhang Yue as an opponent of official reform.

Su Zhe said: "Commander, shouldn't you speak out to the emperor and make some repairs in the court? Now that the commander returns to the court with the merits of Xihe, the officials will definitely adopt what you said."

Zhang Yue said: "Ziyou, although there are shortcomings in the reform, the merits outweigh the shortcomings. If you want me to speak out to the king, don't you see the lessons learned by Zeng Zixuan."

Zeng Bu undoubtedly supported the reform, but he felt that there was a problem with the implementation of the Market Change Law, so Lu Huiqing labeled him as opposing the new law.

Splashing dirty water and pinning hats are commonly used methods of harming people in officialdom.

In the same way, even if Zhang Yue has the merits of Xihe, as long as he objects to say a few words when he returns to court, Lu Huiqing can also use the same method against Zeng Bu to target you.

Lu Huiqing is now the number two figure in Zhongshu, and it can be predicted that Han Jiang will not be able to suppress his arrogance even when he returns to the court.

Especially if a person is gaining momentum, don't stand up and fight with him.

Even if you can beat him, a gentleman should not go against the trend.Zhang Yue has his own rhythm when it comes to official promotion, so he doesn't have to be envious of others' promotion.

Su Zhe was dissatisfied with Lu Huiqing, and it was a beam formed from the three divisions and regulations.

Zhang Yue is now the only person who can wrestle with Lu Huiqing. Su Zhe was a little disappointed when he heard this, but he could understand: "What the commander said is very true, but Zhe has short-sightedness."

Zhang Yue smiled deeply and said: "Ziyou, don't worry."

While talking, Lu Shengqing here came to ask to see Zhang Yue.

The more Zhang thought about it, the more he thought about it, the other party must have received Lu Huiqing's instruction.Knowing that Lu Shengqing had come, Su Zhe snorted disdainfully and left immediately.

In the shogunate, the discord between Su Zhe and Lu Shengqing was also very public.

When Zhang Yue saw Lu Shengqing, he said with a smile on his face: "Brother Xuanma pays homage to the Prime Minister, I really don't know how happy I am. To be honest, Zhang seldom admires others, but in terms of talent, in today's world, apart from Wang Xianggong, there is no one else. It's Brother Ling. So when I first saw Brother Zun, I knew that it would be a matter of time before I got married."

Zhang Yue's words were not shameless flattery, but his sincere words.In terms of talent, Wang Anshi and Lu Huiqing are among the best talents in this era.

It's just that Zhang Yue's status doesn't bother to tell lies, he just chooses to tell the truth.

Zhang Yue smiled sincerely and said, "Congratulations to Brother Zun and Mingfu."

Lu Shengqing received Zhang Yue's letter to see the other party's reaction and attitude.

After listening to Zhang Yue's words, Lu Shengqing was very useful. Lu Huiqing once told him that everyone in the world is insignificant except Wang Anshi, but Zhang Duzhi is the one to be afraid of.

Now Zhang Yue not only congratulated him, but also pushed him to sit with him.

Lu Shengqing was not in a daze, so he immediately declined and congratulated Zhang Yue on Wu Chong's promotion to the privy envoy.

To tell the truth, Zhang Yue was quite 'happy' getting along with Lu Huiqing in Xihe.

Lu Huiqing wrote to Zhang Yue, saying that he had said a lot of good things about Wang Anshi.The more you can believe this statement, the more you can believe it. The so-called [-]% achievement means that five out of ten sentences are good, two are fair, and three are bad.

Zhang Yue also took good care of Lu Shengqing all the way.Lu Shengqing is going smoothly, and today he and Zhang Yuedao are going back to the court, and it is Huichao and Shen Jichang who will take up the post of storyteller in Chongzheng Palace together.

Zhang Yue thought to himself that this time the Xihe victory took all of Hehuang, and the reward has not yet been discussed, but you, Lu Shengqing, are the first to be promoted.

Lu Huiqing had always been the official of Jingyan before, but now that he is the prime minister, he must have no time to prepare for the banquet, so he recommended his younger brother to be the official of Jingyan to fill his position.

Lu Huiqing really will never let the benefits go to waste.

The two talked politely for a while, and Lu Shengqing asked at this time: "I wonder when the commander-in-chief will leave for Beijing?"

Zhang Yue smiled, and he had to be cautious about the following words.
