Chapter 1132: Pressing on the head

Chapter 1141 Pressing on the head

Wang Gui said: "Jixian, I heard that Su Zizhan wrote several new poems after his release."

Zhang Yue pretended: "Is this happening?"

Wang Gui said: "You are the one who protects Zizhan. You should give him some warning and stop doing things that embarrass you and me."

Zhang Yue said: "Historical Museum, Su Zizhan is really a favor from His Majesty. I just said a few words."

"In fact, the History Museum has long seen that His Majesty has no intention of killing Zizhan."

Wang Gui said: "This dynasty has a system of not killing scholar-bureaucrats. Although it is not written down, everyone understands it tacitly."

"But it was this tacit understanding that allowed Su Zizhan to act arbitrarily and discuss government affairs."

Zhang Yue said: "This is indeed Su Zizhan's fault, but that's the end of it."

"Historical Museum, His Majesty said he pardoned Su Zizhan because of Empress Dowager Cao, but it is also true that His Majesty loves talents. Killing great talents in a prosperous age is unlucky for the country. Isn't this unreasonable?"

"It would be better to disturb the waters of the Three Rivers than to disturb the Taoist people's hearts."

Wang Gui's expression paused when he heard this. People in his position would more or less believe in some metaphysics.

Wang Gui said: "I also cherish Su Zizhan's talent, but for the sake of the country."

Wang Gui changed the subject and said: "Now that Jiaozi has dropped below 50%, public opinion is boiling. How do you respond? I'm not asking you, it's Feng Sanyuan who asked."

Zhang Yue said: "The imperial court has allocated two million coins to purchase Jiaozi on the market."

Zhang Yue thought to himself that it was strange that Jiaozi's salt banknotes had fallen so sharply. Unless the news of Lanzhou's defeat reached Bianjing, Liang Yimi took advantage of the situation and swept Xihe Road.

Therefore, merchants who knew the news in advance and knew that the Silk Road was cut off sold Jiaozi in advance on the market.

But the court's news channel is the fastest, and the merchants will not be informed first.

Zhang Yue continued: "In fact, it is normal for Jiaozi and Yanchao to fluctuate. As long as Lanzhou wins or loses, the fluctuations will subside."

Wang Gui said: "Ye Zuqia is not doing well in his affairs. I think he is not suitable for the position of prison sentence."

Zhang Yue said: "In the History Museum, people should be employed without suspicion, and people with suspicion should not be used."

Wang Gui said: "Since you have said this, I can't say it anymore. I don't know how to cover it up for you. Later, your majesty will ask about the heated debate among the people over exchanges and matters. How do you plan to say it?"

Wang Gui seemed to be giving good advice, but in fact he was also a first-class threat.

Zhang Yue said: "I will tell you before the emperor."

Wang Gui nodded with an expression like "Don't blame me for saying something first."

The two governments were discussing matters, and it was dark outside the palace.

During the discussion, Feng Jing repeatedly criticized the Xixia expedition and the sharp devaluation of Jiaozi, believing that it was the imperial court's repeated indecision on Xixia policy that led to this situation.

Fu Bi spoke up in Luoyang, and Feng Jing responded in Bianjing. The two men, Feng and son-in-law, were really one and the same.

After the discussion, Zhang Yue stayed to present the correct answer.

Looking at the officials with unkind expressions, Zhang Yue understood that the officials had objections to Zhang Yue delegating power to the Privy Council. It was like tying the hands and feet of a novice gamer addicted to human food and making him watch others play games.

After explaining the problem of Jiaozi's fluctuation, the official said with some relief: "I know that when Liang Yi buried 800,000 troops to besiege Lanzhou, he was so anxious that he wished he could get his wings and go to Lanzhou."

"But thousands of miles away, I wanted to send a message to the frontline generals, but I thought of your words and held back."

Zhang Yue thought to himself that the officials were just like the chopping gang. They couldn't control their unicorn arms.

Zhang Yue thought that the officials were going to beat him up about the fluctuations in the military situation in Lanzhou and Jiaozi. Unexpectedly, the officials said next: "I have been watching the military situation in Lanzhou these past few days. It's hard for me to sleep peacefully every night. My head feels so swollen."

sharp……"

"I have thought about it. Emperors and emperors have to prepare for the future and make arrangements in advance. Your Majesty must make plans for me. If I die, what will happen to my laws and inheritance?"

Zhang Yue was surprised by Guan Jia's words. No one expected that Guan Jia would stay with him and actually discuss this matter.

Zhang Yue immediately said: "Your Majesty can live for a hundred years, so why talk about what is happening in front of you."

"Even if I plan for a rainy day, I still believe that future generations will follow the system and the inheritance will last for generations to come."

The official looked at Zhang Yue. He fell ill again due to anxiety about the Battle of Lanzhou, but this time he recovered immediately after receiving treatment from Qian Yi.

So none of the ministers noticed it.

However, Qian Yi warned the emperor not to work and worry like this anymore, otherwise the magic will be difficult to cure.

But he was reluctant to let the officials leave the government alone and let the power fall by the wayside. He was unwilling and unwilling to do so.

But as he thought about his deteriorating health, he suddenly had today's conversation between the king and his ministers.

The official said: "There are only two monarchs and ministers here, so don't say these words. I also saw it in the court today. There are many like Feng Jing in the world, and there are many like Fu Bi."

"What I am most worried about is balancing the party struggle and reconciling the old and new parties in order to stabilize the political situation and stop making random attacks and criticisms in the court."

Zhang Yue said: "In the year of Yuanfeng, the distinction between monarch and ministers has been corrected, but under strong pressure, people's hearts may not be convinced."

The official said: "It is true, these people will always be there, no matter at the beginning of the reform or now, it will never be possible to get them to recognize the benefits of the reform, unless I kill them or keep them all in Lingnan."

Zhang Yue listened and said nothing.

The official paused and said, "But I won't do that. I'm not even willing to kill Su Shi. But after my death, I'm afraid that the New Deal will be unsustainable and my whole life's hard work will be ruined. I'm also afraid of repeating the partisan struggle between Niu and Li in the Tang Dynasty.

If the palace is torn in two, then the inheritance of our ancestors will be destroyed."

??????55.??????

Zhang Yue said: "A few days ago, Su Shi went to the minister's house to talk about this matter."

The official was not surprised at all when Su Shi came to visit Zhang Yue. He had already known about it through the Imperial City Department's spying.

However, Zhang Yue said it directly, which shows the other party's 'sincerity'.

Zhang Yue said: "Your Majesty, what Su Shi said to his ministers before is 'put your head on your head'."

Zhang Yue told the allusion again and then said: "Su Shi happened to ask me the same question."

The officials did not quite understand Su Shi's words and asked Zhang Yue in disbelief: Can "putting a head on one's head" really eliminate party strife?

Zhang Yue said: "Reporting to your majesty, Su Shi's words are indeed reasonable, but they are useless."

"Your Majesty, the dispute between parties seems to be a battle between two values, but behind it is actually a battle of positions."

"Most people look at problems from their own perspective."

To use an analogy, it's like online netizens are divided into two groups about one thing and argue endlessly all day long. Some netizens still speak some truth, but some netizens exaggerate and make up rumors.

As for other melon-eating people, they just listen to and believe the news they like to hear, and do not carefully distinguish whether the news is true or false.

Zhang Yue said: "This is also the case between the old and new parties. Officials of the old party will only see things from their own perspective and standpoint."

"Officials of the old party have been saying that the new law is not good since the reform. They have even made up various rumors to discredit and slander the new law. This time about the Lanzhou War, all kinds of rumors are flying everywhere."

"For example, I also had my words arranged."

Officials also know that there are rumors that Zhang Yue insists on keeping Lanzhou because there is a large amount of private property on Xihe Road. Even half of the land on Xihe Road belongs to the Zhang family and the Wu family. How many of them are there in the Xihe Road Interchange?

How many shares.

But no one knows how many Zhang Yue has.

Zhang Yue said: "Your Majesty, these rumors come one after another. Once they pass, no one will pursue them. But for me, they are..."

The official said: "Zhang Qing, I still trust you."

"I thanked Your Majesty. Su Shi said, 'Put a head on your head.' In addition to talking about your own position, put another head on it to examine your own position."

"In Zen Buddhism, this is the method of introspection."

"But most people don't have this. If they can put aside their positions and talk about facts, Su Shi can do it, but 90% of people can't."

"Su Shi wants officials from the old and new parties to 'put aside their positions and talk about facts' together and seek truth from facts. Is it possible?"

"Only dreaming!"

After hearing Zhang Yue's words, the officials laughed.

Zhang Yue said: "Besides, I don't agree very much with people who put aside their positions and tell the facts."

"For example, if it's your own child, no matter what, your parents will think it's smarter than other people's children. When parents quarrel with their neighbors, no matter whether it's justified or not, they will always side with their parents."

There is another sentence that Zhang Yue did not say. Although you, Su Shi, and Zhang Dun had different political views, they at least saved your life.

The officials deeply believed in Zhang Yue's words.

"I often tell your Majesty that you can believe but not listen. This is the truth. However, I think that to eliminate party strife, this is also the way to put a head on your head."

"Queen, come quickly."

Zhang Yue said: "This is like the Buddhist teaching of worshiping Buddha. In fact, Buddhists emphasize worshiping oneself. This is called 'respecting you because of me'."

"So worshiping Buddha is to teach the world how to respect the word. Confucius also said that 'sacrifice to gods is as if gods are present'."

"Not only must you be respectful, but your heart must be sincere. It was only later in practicing Buddhism that I realized that respecting the Buddha means respecting oneself, and being sincere to the Buddha means being sincere to oneself."

"Because most people can't do this, we have to set up a statue for you to worship."

"So to eliminate party disputes, we need to build an 'image'. Through this, we can achieve 'put aside our stance and talk about facts.'"

"What does it look like?" the official asked.

Zhang Yue said: "A god-like figure can make everyone believe in him, thereby suppressing the differences between the two parties and eliminating party strife."

"Only Your Majesty can live in this world."

The official said: "But I am already the emperor!"

"Not enough!" Zhang Yue said simply.

"What should we do?" The official's voice was urgent.

"Reform the official system, amend new policies, and attack party items!"

The official nodded.

In fact, this was what Zhang Yue said to himself.

In other words, it's not at the table, it's on the menu.

Taking sides is something that only the weak need to consider, but the strong will never take sides easily.

The position of emperor was established so that he could avoid taking sides despite his likes and dislikes.

Can reconcile differences and walk the right path.

What about being a minister?

First of all, you are in a very important position, and both parties will definitely be unhappy at first, but as long as both parties can't help you, in the end both parties will be begging you.

This is also the path I want to take.

Officialdom relies on position, but Zhang Yue only relies on ability.

When you bring victory again and again, many people will turn from doubt to admiration, give up thinking, and blindly follow you unconditionally.
