The official was in high spirits, placing the Lanzhou victory news in his hand next to the cotton pad, and looked at Zhang Yue who walked into the imperial garden with a smile on his face.
At this time, Shi Deyi, the vice-president who entered the house, carefully led Zhang Yue to the arch bridge of the Royal Garden. Zhang Yue looked at the officials who were fishing and couldn't help but be slightly astonished.
"Officials don't like fishing!"
Zhang Yue knew that the official family was very diligent. They usually met with the ministers in the palace. They were so busy that they often postponed the meal time. There was rarely such leisure time to rest. Emperor Renzong liked fishing, and he also
While fishing with ministers, Wang Anshi once made a joke about accidentally eating the bait.
Hearing what Zhang Yue said, Shi De smiled and said, "The official is in a good mood today and has been here early in the morning."
Zhang Yue nodded and walked up the arch bridge to the official's side. The servants on the side all bowed and bowed when they saw Zhang Yue.
The official moved the fishing rod, saw Zhang Yue approaching and asked deliberately: "What is Zhang Qing doing here?"
Zhang Yue said: "Your Majesty, I heard that Princess Shushou has been ill for many days, so I recommend a miracle doctor to your Majesty."
While talking, Shi Deyi respectfully brought a cotton mat for Zhang Yue to sit on. Compared with the official cotton mat, this mat was slightly plain.
Then Shi De stood with a smile on his face and stood beside Zhang Yue, the official. This made Zhang Yue, the second most important servant in the palace, so respectful.
After Zhang Yue pulled his purple robe and sat down, the official asked unexpectedly: "Princess Shushou was diagnosed by an imperial physician. Who is the miracle doctor you mentioned?"
Zhang Yue said: "Your Majesty, this person's surname is Qian and his name is Yi. He is good at treating paediatrics and can rejuvenate himself. Therefore, I recommend him to your Majesty."
Ordinary people would be happy to hear that there is a miracle doctor who can cure diseases, but the officials looked very solemn and seemed unwilling to mention the matter. However, since it was recommended by Zhang Yue himself, he must be given full face.
The official said: "Since you have recommended me, I will be appointed as the Chief Medical Officer of the Taiyuan Hospital and will be admitted to the palace to give it a try."
Zhang Yue did not want Qian Yi to enter Tai Hospital, but said: "Your Majesty, this person does not like fame. He will treat the princess first and then discuss his official position."
"It's just like what you said."
After a pause, the official said: "You and I are fishing together!"
After saying this, the waiter took out the fishing rod. Shi Deyi personally put the bait on the hook and handed it to Zhang Yue.
The monarch and his ministers were fishing together by the pond, and the official suddenly said: "I heard that when you first promoted the third class, when you visited the Ren Temple, you also held fish by the pond and presented an imperial poem."
Zhang Yue was astonished, while Shi Deyi and the servants on the left and right smiled slightly.
Zhang Yue recalled that he was also at the pond when he wrote a poem to "respect" Emperor Renzong, "No fish dares to approach the emperor, long live the king only fishes for dragons."
As a result, Emperor Renzong caught a fish and slapped Zhang Yue in the face a moment later. Of course, some officials said that Zhang Yue's poem was flattering and flattering.
Zhang Yue thought to himself that the official was in a good mood today, so he was joking with himself.
Zhang Yue swung the fishing rod and said calmly: "Report to your Majesty, it is true."
Zhang Yue looked around and saw many young palace maids in beautiful clothes under the willows in the distance walking around the pool, taking petals from the flower baskets and waving them away.
The petals are floating on the pond, rippling in the water waves, and countless koi carps are disappearing and appearing in the pond.
Zhang Yue said: "Back then, Renmiao was talking to his ministers by the pond, and he used the fish in the pond as a metaphor for all the people in the world. It is necessary to curb annexation and create a new way, otherwise it will not be enough to change the world. Renmiao said that he was old and soft-hearted.
There is no way to do this, I can only wait until the wise king comes later."
"I have never said this to anyone, but thanks to Xining Yuanfeng, there is good governance today, and your majesty can be said to live up to the temple of benevolence."
The official was overjoyed when he heard this, and then said: "Since ancient times, wise kings must have virtuous people to complement each other, so that they can build a world and a country, and the people can live and work in peace and contentment. Wang Anshi has a world and a country in his heart, and you have all the people in your heart."
"Your Majesty..." Zhang Yue was a little surprised.
The official continued: "It is said that Renmiao can know people, and he can be an official! Back then, he told the late emperor that he would find a Taiping Prime Minister for my descendants of the Zhao family. Now you have lived up to Renmiao's knowledge of people."
Zhang Yue was moved when he heard this and hurriedly covered it up: "Your Majesty... the fish has bitten the hook."
The official smiled when he heard this and immediately picked up the catch. Shi De and other palace officials all praised the official for his extraordinary fishing skills.
The official smiled and ordered people to release the fish into the pond.
The official continued to go down the pole and said: "In the past, Renmiao borrowed the fish in the pond to represent the people of the world, but now the pond in front of me is not the world. The mistakes I have made since taking office, no matter what, are all for the sake of Renmiao.
This country is for the people!"
"Did you predict the success of Lanzhou this time?"
Zhang Yue said truthfully: "Your Majesty, let me tell you the truth. I really don't know..."
The official was surprised: "I really don't know?"
Zhang Yue said: "I...if you say you didn't expect it at all, that's not true. Things in this world are not about deliberately planting flowers so that they don't bloom, or unintentionally planting willows to create shade."
"There is something in it."
The official said: "How to say it?"
Zhang Yue said: "Your Majesty, sometimes the reason why things are successful is not because we deliberately do some things right, but because we accidentally do some things right. Later generations often say that this is unintentional."
"Rather than saying it is unintentional, it is actually intentional. Just like Qian Yi recommended by the minister. He was originally dedicated to medicine, but because of his superb medical skills, Your Majesty wanted to grant him fame. If he pursued fame wholeheartedly, then his achievements in medicine would still be
Is it that high?”
…
"I have read the successful report of the Battle of Lanzhou - although Wang Wenyu was brave and fearless, our army had already set up defenses in Lanzhou to defend the must-attack areas of Xixia, and Li Xian sent troops to rescue immediately. In fact, it was also because the party underestimated the enemy and was careless.
To be fair, our military's luck is a little better this time, and I don't think there is any strategizing."
"Actually, since the city of Mingsha was destroyed, I have not taken any active actions. This is because in the past, it was the custom in official circles that when a superior official scolded me, the people below him would do whatever they could to do something."
"Of course I know that Your Majesty really wants me to 'turn the tide and prop up the building that is about to collapse', but this is not in line with the rules. There is a root and an end to everything, and there is no rush. The more you do this, the more you use tactical diligence to cover up strategic issues.
of incompetence.”
"In today's losing streak, the morale of the military is low. At this time, we should stabilize our position instead of actively doing anything."
"I always believe that we should not do things that are unsustainable."
The official pondered: "The court official said that Xixia took advantage of the peace talks to attack Lanzhou. So what do you think if the peace talks are suspended or the terms of the peace talks are made more stringent?"
Zhang Yue said: "Your Majesty, not only must you not be harsh, but you must also be lenient so that everyone in the party will think that your Majesty is wholeheartedly negotiating for peace."
The official shook his head and said: "This strategy is too crude. How can you ask for peace after a great victory? I don't believe that Xixia can't see through it. Anyone with a little ability can see through your plan."
Zhang Yue said: "Your Majesty, I always use simple strategies. What Xixia thinks is their business."
At this time, Zhang Yue's fishing rod moved.
Zhang Yue picked up the fish easily, and his robe and feet never got wet.
The official said: "What if Xixia agrees to negotiate peace?"
Zhang Yue said: "If this is true, within three years, Xixia will be destroyed."
"Lanzhou, Xi'an Prefecture, and Huaide Army are the places that Xixia must win, and they are also the places that this dynasty must defend. If this dynasty wins, Xixia will decline, but I will prosper day by day!"
"Although Li Bingchang, the current leader of the Xixia Kingdom, is young, he is still considered a hero. Empress Dowager Liang is a hero among women, and the Prime Minister Liang Yimi is also an ambitious minister who likes to manipulate power."
"As long as there are knowledgeable people in Xixia, they will continue to attack our Lanzhou, Huizhou, and Tiandu Mountains. They will not only plunder deeply to strengthen their troops and horses, but also destroy my farmland. They will never build a fort for me and slowly approach.
Opportunity."
"This time Xixia destroyed the seven-level canal of the Yellow River, flooding countless fields, and implemented the strategy of strengthening the walls and clearing the wilderness in the five prefectures of Dingnan. The people in the country have already been boiling with resentment."
"The two countries' offense and defense are mutually victorious here, but these victories do not matter, as long as they can continue to consume the Xixia national power. When the Xixia people are exhausted, your majesty can order a general to lead Xihe and Qingtang's troops to go north to attack Liangzhou.
Ganzhou.”
"As long as the trade routes between Xixia and the Western Regions are eliminated, the offensive and defensive positions will change from now on!"
The official took it seriously and said: "Zhang Qing's plan has something strange in it. I understand that everything should be based on Liangzhou."
Zhang Yue said: "Your Majesty, when I look at Xixia, the most important places are Lingzhou and Xingzhou at the foot of Helan Mountain. There is absolutely no room for failure in these two places. In terms of importance, Liangzhou may not be ranked among the top three."
"But Liangzhou is the source of Xixia's money and grain. Although our current dynasty operates Lanzhou, although it seems to be a high-rise building and has the potential to build upstream, it can attack Lingzhou downstream, but the Yellow River waterway is not as good as the Yangtze River waterway after all, and there are still many variables.
"
"Taking Liangzhou seems to be much more stable. Xingling is the hinterland of Xixia, and it will compete with me for every inch of land. On the other hand, Liangzhou is beyond our reach and Xixia. Our army has been operating in Lanhui Xihe River for a long time, and it is inexhaustible.
Disaster."
"The gain and loss of Liangzhou does not lie in one city or one place, but in stabilizing the Qingtang and Ganzhou Uighurs so that they will not be used by Xixia but by me."
"At this point, I think those who achieve great things should have the spirit of 'holding on to the mountains and never letting go', identify a goal, and work towards it with perseverance."
"You must be diligent in your skills but not in your Tao. If a person can barely manage a family well, don't do it. If a person can barely manage a country well, don't do it."
"Always do things with ease, this is what I say from the bottom of my heart."
The official nodded slowly and said: "I am so lucky to have a minister to help me. The cause of the Han, Wu and Tang sects is not far away!"
…
The next day.
Inside the palace.
The officials were looking intently at Princess Shushou, the third daughter of the emperor, who was lying on the sick bed.
Soon after, Princess Shushou slowly woke up and came over. The female envoys on the left and right all laughed and said: "Guan family, Guan family, the princess is awake."
Seeing Mrs. Zhaorong Zhu who was sitting next to her burst into tears when she saw this, the officials were relieved.
The palace servant on the side said: "The miracle doctor Qian recommended by Prime Minister Zhang is really amazing. The princess's illness was cured by him all at once when several imperial doctors were helpless!"
Another palace servant said: "I have heard the name of Miracle Doctor Qian before, but I didn't expect it to be as miraculous as the rumors."
Zhaorong Zhu said: "Prime Minister Zhang is still able to know people, but none of those imperial doctors can use him."
The officials originally had a try attitude toward Qian Yi, but they didn't know he was so impressive.
Seeing that Mr. Zhu was so happy, the official said with a smile: "I know, I will reward this miracle doctor Qian heavily."
Zhu said with a smile: "The official family is still blessed, with both good looks and good doctors."
