Prime Minister

Chapter 610

Chapter 610

After hearing the official's words, Zhang Yue was very moved.

The Son of Heaven keeps your credit in his heart, and this is more important than anything else.

Zhang Yue was so happy that he was about to startle, but then he thought that he should hold his breath at this time.

In the officialdom, you must remember a sentence, credit goes to the top, and faults go to the bottom.

So Zhang Yue replied: "Your Majesty, what is the merit of the minister, it is just a few words, and the staff is nothing more. If it is not for your majesty's cleverness, power and blessing, and the ambition to bring peace to the world, the minister can say these few words It’s just an after-dinner chat.”

The officials saw that the more measured they were, the more they appreciated their hearts. This is the fate of Zhou Wenwang meeting a monarch and minister like Jiang Shang.

The officials did not say this sentence. In fact, facing the ministers who really want to use them, the officials would be stingy with praise, for fear that the other party would be proud of his success.

Just now, the officials deliberately talked about Lu Huiqing's credit for stealing Zhang Yue from Zhang Yue's face, but instead tried to see how Zhang Yue could measure up.

See if he can stand the grievance.

Zhang Yue expressed that he was very satisfied.

Wang Anshi continued to recommend Lu Huiqing to himself, and the officials actually had their own judgments.

Lu Huiqing is indeed very talented, but Sima Guang, Lu Gongzhuo and other ministers criticized this person as treacherous and evil, and it is not without any evidence.

In the eyes of officials, Sima Guang and Lu Gong's criticism of Lu Huiqing is of course too much.

But his jealousy towards Zhang Yue is obvious, and not once or twice, not only officials, but also other ministers have seen it.

At the same time, Lu Huiqing strives for perfection in everything, and the new law he enacted cannot tolerate any criticism. Whenever the ministers disagree with the details of the new law, he will fight to the end before the king until he wins.

You must know that Wang Anshi sometimes expressed an attitude of accepting humility when faced with criticism. For example, before Su Zhe criticized the Green Crop Law, Wang Anshi thought that what he said was reasonable, so he said that he would not discuss the Green Crop Law within a month.

But Lu Huiqing never thought she was wrong.

At the same time, outsiders criticized some of the officials of the Department of Regulations he appointed, and Lu Huiqing was also very defensive, anyway, he just helped his relatives and ignored them.

The official's heart is like a mirror, he suddenly said to Zhang Yue: "Wang Anshi, Sima Guang said that Qing has no place to practice experience, Qing sees if I want to send you out..."

External appointment?

Zhang Yue hesitated when he heard this, it wasn't that the foreign appointment was bad, if he wants to be promoted again, he must have the foreign appointment for a while, but... But he really can't bear to have his wife and children on the bed!

Yes, I am such a family lover.

The golden nest and the silver nest are not as good as their own kennels!

This is really embarrassing for me.

So Zhang Yue said: "I... I don't want to leave Beijing, I don't want to part with your majesty, and I would like to serve you in front of you..."

Hearing Zhang Yue's words, the official said happily: "I still have a place where Zhang Qing is useful now, but when you are an official in the court, you still need to follow the rules."

"Of course Zhang Qing has any request, I can mention it, and I will agree to it."

Zhang Yue heard the words and thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty Long En, I dare to say frankly, can this foreigner bring his family?"

The officials were dumbfounded, what kind of request is this?

Immediately the officials realized, this kid!I want to cultivate you, but you are reluctant to part with the warm nest in Bianjing, so you actually bargain with me here.

The official looked at Zhang Yue angrily and amusedly said: "Family, it's good to bring your family! Zhang Qing, you have been married for several years now, and so is I, but now when I return to the palace, I feel that the queen... is really disgusting. If you can see it, then you won't see it, that's good for you!"

Zhang Yue listened to his heart and said, what does it mean that the empress looks hateful?

Don't the officials know what a washboard is?

However, the officials saw that Zhang Yue had no intention of serving outside at all, and thought to Wang Anshi, Sima Guang's evaluation of Zhang Yue was absolutely correct.

The officials changed their minds and thought that although it is not the beginning of the reform, there are still many places where Zhang Yue should be used as a staff member.

Since it is so foreign, let's put it aside in advance, let's talk about it later, if Zhang Yue pushes back and forth again, I will really use a big stick to drive people away.

"Since that's the case, let's let it go first."

Hearing what the official said, Zhang Yue breathed a sigh of relief.

On this day, Lu Huiqing recommended that Li Chengzhi was reorganized as a Beijing official because of his meritorious service in recommending the exemption law.The officials also specially praised Li Chengzhi's words: "Since I became the throne, I have never easily changed people's ranks, and now I order you, which is also a special kindness."

After Li Chengzhi was promoted to a Beijing official, he directly entered the Zhongshu Ministry and was ordered to be the prosecutor of the Zhongshu Sentence Room.

In addition to Li Chengzhi, Wang Anshi also used Shen Kuo, Shen Liao's uncle and nephew.

Wang Anshi was related to Shen Kuo's family. When Huang Lu got married, Zhang Yue met Wang Anshi and Shen Liao at the banquet when he went to drink a wedding banquet.

Wang Anshi attached great importance to Shen Liao, and praised him like Xie An and Tao Yuanming.

It happened that Wu Chong was promoted to the third envoy, so he recommended Shen Liao.When Shen Liao's elder brother, Shen Yun, left office as the magistrate of Kaifeng Prefecture, he recommended Wu Chong to replace him as the magistrate of Kaifeng Prefecture.

Wang Anshi then asked Wu Chong to recommend Shen Liaojian's inner storehouse.

Shen Kuo happened to get rid of his clothes, so Wang Anshi asked him to edit "Southern Suburb Style", in addition to Li Ding.

Editing is a beautiful job, and if you fix it, you can be promoted.

As for Li Ding, who stabbed Li Chang in the back, the officials decided to make great use of it.Wang Anshi and others were also thinking about how to arrange his errands, but no one expected that this appointment would cause an uproar and become a key political event.

Wang Anshi's house after the Shangyuan Festival.

Wang Anshi, as a prime minister, was invited by the officials to enjoy the lights of Mount Ao on the Xuande Tower.As for Lu Huiqing, Wang Yu and others were all admiring the lanterns in the prime minister's mansion.

This Shangyuan Festival was originally a day for family and friends to enjoy in Bianjing, but for the members of the royal party, the court's major events were in front of them.

Wang Anshi and Wang Yu focused on government affairs, took the court as their family, and devoted themselves to reform without distraction. Naturally, everyone in the royal party also followed suit.

On festivals like the Shangyuan Festival, they gather together to discuss government affairs.

After Lu Huiqing arrived, Zeng Bu came, Zhang Dun and Zhang Wei came, then Shen Liao and Shen Kuo also came, and then Li Chengzhi and Li Ding also came.

These people are the backbone of the royal party today.

Wang Anshi was not there, the party should have been gathered by Lu Huiqing.But Lu Huiqing pushed it to Wang Yu.

Wang Yu also did his part to sit in the first place and make a decision on everyone's opinions.

While eating the Lantern Festival, everyone listened to Wang Yu's comments and said: "This time, Fengshi (Li Chengzhi), Shen's Kunzhong, and Zhang's uncle and nephew have all been dispatched, but the senior (Li Ding) has not yet been rewarded. See what's going on?"

The official position in the court is a public weapon, and it was unexpectedly awarded and accepted by Wang Yu in private, and no one felt that there was anything wrong with it.

Li Ding smiled and said: "Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Li, who has just arrived in the capital from Xiuzhou, and has already been given the job of compiling important codes. I dare not expect extravagant things."

Wang Yu pointed at Li Ding with his fan and said, "Such modesty, no brother has exposed Li Chang's matter this time, and Sima Twelfth and Lu Zhongcheng may have ruined the Qingmiao law. Rewards and punishments must be clearly distinguished, otherwise how to run the army. No need to be modest, today's The seat belongs to you!"

After speaking, Wang Yu got up and pushed the first place to Li Ding.

Li Ding was unwilling no matter what, but he gave Wang Yuqiang the lead.

Li Dingchu was a little uneasy at first, but when he thought that he had made such a great contribution to Wang Anshi and his son, he smiled and no longer declined.
