Prime Minister

Chapter 767

Chapter 767

The heart goes away with the clouds in the south, and the shape follows the geese in the north.

The chrysanthemum under the fence in my hometown, how many flowers bloom today?

This poem somewhat represents the mood of a stranger in his hometown. Zhang Yue has lived in Bianjing for many years, and almost regarded himself as a Bianjing native, but today he is on the streets of Bianjing, and suddenly remembered that he is a southerner after all. People, come to Bianjing as guests.

Such longing for hometown came to my heart, and was immediately overwhelmed by the lively voices of others.

Today, Zhang's family traveled to Renwang Temple for fun, and there were a lot of tourists on the road.

Zhang Gen, who was spared the punishment of being grounded by Shi Qi Niang, is now sitting on Zhang Zhi's shoulders, looking at the bustling crowd on the street, he finds it particularly fun.

This son has also been looking forward to this day for a long time, otherwise he would not have heard the news that he would be grounded, that is, he would have broken Seventeen Niang's beloved flowerpot.

Seventeen Niang accompanied Zhang Yue to Renwang Temple, and there were many tourists. In the temple, there was an eminent monk sitting on a lion and preaching scriptures, which attracted countless people to listen.

It is said that there is a treasure tree 40 yojanas high in the Buddhist ashram. Under the treasure tree is a lion seat, which is [-] yojanas high. The Buddha sits on the lion seat and preaches scriptures every day.

Seeing the scene of the eminent monk sitting on the lion and preaching scriptures, everyone sighed that the trip was worthwhile.

Seeing that Zhang Gen was very happy, Zhang Yue walked to a side vendor and bought a few pieces of Shiman Cake for his wife and children.

Mr. Zhang Erlang was held by Zhang Shi, and Zhang Yue broke up the pastries and fed them bit by bit. The lion cake at Renwang Temple was delicious, and Erlang clapped his hands happily after eating, and smiled at everyone.

Zhang Yue and Zhang Shi, Yu Shi was very happy to see it.And Zhang Gen, who was riding on Zhang Zhi's shoulder watching the eminent monk sitting on a lion preaching scriptures, immediately scrambled for Zhang Yue to share the lion cake with him.

After reading the lecture.

Everyone went to the alleys of Renwang Temple, but they saw that the alleys here were extremely lively. There were paper poster shops, book copy shops, and book shops specializing in rare books, which attracted many scholars and officials to hang out.

On the other side of the street, there are many restaurants and food shops, all of which are small buildings with two or three floors. As far as Zhang Yue knows, one of them is a shop owned by Shi Qi Niang.

This is the benefit of eating soft rice. Zhang Yue has never worried about money since he got married.

Passing through the alleys and streets, there is a scene of heavy traffic, which is really lively.

"Go to Shishanzhai, or Yayue Tower, or Songhefang." Zhang Shi is familiar with the eating, drinking, and entertainment in Bianjing.

But Zhang Yuezhi shook his head and said: "Brother, are you afraid that you won't be able to eat these on weekdays? On this Double Ninth Festival, eat something suitable for the occasion!"

Zhang Zhi said: "Third Uncle, as far as I know, there is a restaurant selling chrysanthemum wine, and the autumn crab should have been served. Last year, Senior Brother Cai and I came here, and the taste was pretty good."

Zhang Yue nodded and said: "Get wine full of hundreds of dendrobium boats, four seasons of sweetness at both ends, right hand holding a wine glass, left hand holding crab claws, shooting in the floating wine boat, it will be enough for a lifetime."

Both uncle and nephew laughed.

Zhang Yue and his family went to this restaurant, and the shopkeeper was very enthusiastic. Before Zhang Yue and the others asked, would they like the new autumn crab?

Zhang Yue and Zhang Zhidun felt that they had come to the right place.

Eating crabs and chrysanthemum wine is the most appropriate occasion.

Zhang Shi, Yu Shi, Shi Qi Niang, Lu Shi, Zhang Gen, etc. sat at the same table, with attendants waiting on them for dinner.

And Zhang Yue and Zhang Zhi sat at the same table, with new crabs and chrysanthemum wine.

At the beginning, Zhang Yue and Zhang Shi had dinner and conversation at the same table, but now the two brothers had less and less topics to talk about, so Zhang Shi took the initiative to sit at the table with the children, and let Zhang Yue and Zhang Zhi and their uncles and nephews talk more.

Zhang Yue said with a smile: "Holding the pincers and raising the cup, this kind of open-minded and leisurely feeling is a rare sight."

While talking, someone from the side seat got up and said: "Seeing that you two are also officials of the imperial court, I don't know that the country is in danger now, but you are here to enjoy the blessing of open-mindedness and leisure, don't you feel ashamed?"

Zhang Zhi asked: "Who is under one step?"

Zhang Yue saw that the other party was extraordinary, so he shouldn't be someone who is uneducated and pretends to be big.

The other party said: "Xu Xi, a Jiangxi native, with a name of Dezhan and a commoner. Now that the Khitan has violated the border, and our court has lost our teachers in the northwest. When the officials learned about this, they couldn't sleep at night, but the second father was here to enjoy crabs." Aren't you ashamed to eat wine?"

After hearing Xu Xi's righteous and stern words, both Zhang Yue and Zhang Zhi laughed.

Zhang Yue said with a smile: "I also want to ask Your Excellency, how to deal with Khitan, the enemy of Xixia?"

Xu Xi said: "Although the Khitan Kingdom is large, it is in chaos. Yelu Hongji is not a hero, so he will not easily attack the Song Dynasty. He only asks for gold, silver, and land. The most dangerous thing now is Xixia. If we use my strategy, not only Within three years, the Northwest will be at your fingertips, and Xiaxia will be destroyed within a few days. I only hate that the generals in the Northwest are timid now, no one dares to do so."

Zhang Yue said with a smile: "I don't have a good plan, I want to hear how about a fair Northwest strategy? If it sounds good, how about recommending it for you in the future?"

Xu Xi said: "Forget it, although I have a good plan in my heart, but there is no room for it to be used. Let me tell you two. If I make great achievements in the future, I only hope that I can remember the name of Jiangxi Xu Xi."

Immediately when Xu Xi was in Zhang Yue, Zhang Zhi talked eloquently.

Xu Xi was also conceited about his ability, but he failed in the imperial examination, so he waited all day in the restaurant and talked about his Pingxia strategy every time he met an official, thinking that one day he would meet someone who appreciated him.

Most of the officials kicked him out without even listening, but now I finally found two who listened to him, and immediately caught them talking and peddling their strategies.

Halfway through listening, Zhang Zhi said to Zhang Yue: "Third Uncle, this man is another Wang Zichun."

Zhang Yue said: "Although there are many mistakes and omissions, they are also rare."

Hearing this, Zhang Yue got up and said: "It's getting late, I'll listen to Gonggao's talk later."

Xu Xi thought that Zhang Yue would not accept his opinion, and said angrily: "All the princes of the Manchu Dynasty are short-sighted people, and there is not even one who can listen to my words."

Zhang Yue laughed when he heard this.

While talking, a bell rang in front of him, but he saw several riders arriving outside the wine shop, and another imperial chariot arriving.

Someone asked at the door: "Is Zhang Longtu here?"

Zhang Zhi hurriedly walked out and said, "My uncle is here!"

Xu Xi's face was full of astonishment, but he saw a man who looked like a general of the forbidden army entered the wine shop and said to Zhang Yue, "Your Majesty has an order to invite Zhang Longtu to enter the palace immediately, and I have state affairs to entrust!"

"Understood!" Zhang Yue nodded.

Zhang Shi, Shi Qi Niang and others on the side also got up.

Zhang Yue knew that his days of idle clouds and wild cranes were over, he glanced at his wife and children and nodded, and then said to the general of the imperial army: "You can allow me to go back to the mansion and change my official uniform!"

The general of the Forbidden Army said: "The Northwest Army is on fire, Your Majesty can't wait for a moment, Zhang Longtu doesn't need to be restrained, the car is ready outside the door."

"it is good!"

Zhang Yue said to his family: "You go back to the mansion first and wait for my news, I will go to the palace first."

Everyone agreed.

"Let's go!"

Zhang Yue said a word to the general of the imperial army and then moved, passing by Xu Xi's side and whispered: "You come to my house tomorrow, and finish the second half!"

When Xu Xi heard this, he said with trepidation and trepidation: "Yes. I will obey Zhang Longtu's order!"

Zhang Yue smiled and patted him on the shoulder, but Xu Xi bent down immediately as if he had been electrocuted.

Zhang Yue didn't take it seriously, went out and got into the imperial chariot to enter the palace.
