The stove made a pot of fresh mutton hotter and hotter, and the mutton was boiled to the point of being rotten.
Huang Lu was already full, but Han Zhongyan still took down his chopsticks repeatedly.
It makes people feel that the other person not only has an amazing appetite, but also has strong energy.
"When I was young, I could eat ten kilograms of mutton in one meal, and three kilograms of biscuits. I could govern seven women at night without getting tired, and I could drink wine all night long until dawn!"
Huang Luze said: "It's shameless to mention things from the past! I remember that there was a Yulian in Taixue, who Huang Si was obsessed with, but you got it easily. You were always in trouble and gave up, but others missed you.
lifetime."
Han Zhongyan smiled contemptuously and said, "That's Huang Si Chi."
"No matter how high-spirited the prostitutes and singers are in Han Da in recent years, they can't escape from my hands. A Yulian is nothing."
Huang Luze said: "Aren't you Pan Lu and Deng Xiaoxian?"
Han Zhongyan spat: "You and other common people only know Pan Donkey and Deng Xiaoxian, but you don't know how many heroes have been trapped in the second half of the sentence, 'The one who pulls the beggar and leaks it away'!"
Huang Lu said: "I need to ask for advice!"
Han Zhongyan said: "It's just cheating! Don't lie. No one in Fengyue Field knows better than others. How can you hide it from others?"
"Bullshit, it's just entanglement. Don't talk sincerely with a bitch. Huang Si doesn't know this."
"A beggar is one who is willing to give up money. Don't think about how you don't need money all day long, and you are taking someone else's body in vain."
"Leaking means being strict with your mouth. There are all kinds of sects in Fengyue Field. What you said to the bitch will be heard by others the next day."
"When you leave, you come and go often, and don't let the favor go to waste. If you leave and don't come back for a year and a half, even if it is a false love, you must make it true on the surface."
After hearing this, both of them clapped their legs and laughed.
Huang Lu sighed: "No wonder there are many heroes trapped in the storm. Not many are as sincere as you, Mr. Han."
Han Zhongyan said: "Having said that, being honest in government is not what Duzhi advocates."
"Confucianism treats human nature as good, while Legalism treats human nature as evil. If human nature is good, it should be done in accordance with its nature, and if it is evil, it should be done against its nature. But whether it is done in accordance with its nature or against its nature, the most important thing is
It’s the word ‘sincerity’, and sincerity means respecting the rules.”
Huang Lu sighed: "That's right, it's difficult to change the system."
"The current political situation is like this. Three cobblers are as good as Zhuge Liang, but what about three Zhuge Liangs? Together they are not as good as one cobbler!"
"There are too many smart people. If we don't practice morality and govern the country with justice, we will end up with smart people fighting among themselves in the court. That's why we have to rely on us to make a new start."
Han Zhongyan said: "It's just right. You have to constantly review yourself at all times, take the opportunity to screen out some people and bring in some people. Only in this way can the atmosphere be updated."
"It's not like destroying the party items will solve the problem once and for all. We won't reorganize the system."
"Not to mention that there are powerful enemies like the Liao Kingdom on the side, but it is the original intention of the sage to rule the country by constantly renewing it, renewing it day by day, and renewing it day by day."
Huang Lu said: "As you said, it will be difficult to deal with it if some people leave and then some people come in."
"Favors are indispensable in politics. Along the way, Mr. Zhang relied on the help of not only you and me, but also so many people. How can we do this when there are so many stakes in the court?"
"In addition to the 'righteousness' of the prime minister, Ercheng also has the meaning of 'Neo-Confucianism', and Zhang Zai's disciples also have the meaning of 'Qi' learning. Nowadays, there is endless debate among Tai students. How to govern the country with 'righteousness' is really difficult.
."
Han Zhongyan smiled and said: "We have to do it naturally."
Huang Lu said: "There is another difficult thing. You said that the country should be governed with 'righteousness'. Is this 'righteousness' the righteousness of your majesty or the 'righteousness' of the prime minister?"
Han Zhongyan said: "In the past, kings and horses shared the world."
"Today, the emperor and the scholar-officials share the world, and our 'righteousness' is the 'righteousness' of the scholar-officials!"
Huang Lu said: "In the Eastern Jin Dynasty, five horses crossed the river. Except for Emperor Yuan, the other four horses were killed because they were not tolerated by the nobles. At that time, the imperial power was just a decoration. How can it be like this when the Holy Emperor is on the throne today?"
While the two were talking, someone suddenly came to report: "The Liao Kingdom suddenly broke through Yanmen Pass!"
Han Zhongyan was shocked and asked: "Have you given me the New Year coins this year?"
Huang Lu said: "I just gave it to Xiongzhou two days ago! At that time, I reported it to the Liao Kingdom and did not check it carefully, so I hurriedly took the coins away!"
"Humph, as soon as the Liao Dynasty coins were obtained, they broke through the barrier and entered!" Han Zhongyan sneered, "I wonder why the Khitan is so slow to move, it turns out that they are plotting here!"
Huang Lu said: "It has been delayed for at least half a year. But I used the excuse that the silk cloth is still on the way, and the two hundred thousand pieces of silk have not arrived. But the Liao Kingdom can't wait any longer. They are now one step behind!"
Han Zhongyan laughed when he heard this and said, "You are also so cunning."
"But the storm is coming, so you and I have to go to Shangshu Province!"
Huang Lufang nodded, and an official came to report: "The Prime Minister on your right summoned two ministers to the capital hall to discuss matters!"
——
After the reform of Yuanfeng, the right servant of Shangshu was the first rank.
The second grade of Shangshu, left and right, Cheng Zheng
The east hall of Zhongshu was renamed as the Menxia Province.
The West Hall of Zhongshu was renamed Zhongshu Province.
The original political hall was called the capital hall, and it was also the place where the six departments were photographed.
In terms of the most important financial reform, the three departments were merged into the Zuocao of the Ministry of Revenue, the Sinong Temple was merged into the Youcao of the Ministry of Hubu (historically it was completed by Yuan Youcai), and the six ministers were merged into the second rank.
Therefore, as the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, Huang Lu also managed the three departments and Sinong Temple, which actually greatly increased his power.
The province under the gate consists of officials, households, rituals, soldiers, punishments, workers, demolition, memorials, imperial treasury, and housing.
Under the Zhongshu Province, there are rooms for officials, households, soldiers, etiquette, punishment, workers, troubleshooting, class books, imperial treasury, demolition, and urging.
Each room corresponds to the six departments, and also has other provincial management tasks.
At this moment, we are above the capital hall.
Zhang Yue had a chat with the officials of the six ministries. After the restructuring, Zhang Yue, as the minister of Zhongshu and the right servant of Shangshu, not only did not decrease but strengthened his power. On the other hand, Wang Gui was really weakened even more.
The most important thing for the Menxia Province was to refute the power. In front of Zhang Yue, Wang Gui was basically used as a decoration.
One time when Zhang Yue was staying in China, he discussed with the officials and decided on a matter to be issued in the name of Zhongshu. As a result, Wang Gui did not know and rashly used his right to refute. As a result, Wang Gui was furiously reprimanded by the emperor for this matter. From then on, Wang Gui's whole life
He spends all his time in the province to maintain his health, and he doesn't even care about the affairs of the minister.
Wang Gui didn't care, but Zhang Yue, as the minister's right servant, had to take charge.
Before the restructuring, the Shangshu Province was just a decoration.
After the restructuring, the Shangshu Province has the power to execute government orders. Matters that cannot be decided by the Six Ministries and the Yushitai will be reported to the Shangshu Province for decision-making.
Matters that cannot be decided by the Shangshu Province are finally handed over to the Zhongshu and the Privy Council.
Today, the six ministers are Li Qingchen, the official minister, Huang Lu, the household minister, Han Zhongyan, the military minister, Chen Mu, the rite minister, He Zhengchen, the criminal minister, and An Tao, the industrial minister.
According to factions, there are three members from the Zhang Party, one from the Cai Party, one from the Royal Party, and one from the Imperial Party.
In addition, there are Minister Zuo Cheng, Lang Zhongfan Chunren and so on.
Zhang Yue sat on his left and right, Cai Que and Wang Anli. Zhang Yue started a tea ceremony and said, "You all talk about reforming the system. You only change the hair, not the skin."
"I don't think so. Haste makes waste, and we have to do it step by step. The next step of restructuring is already brewing, but it just didn't happen for a while."
"One more thing. Now that the Liao Kingdom has taken our annual coins and broken the Yanmen Pass, what is the next step? Let's discuss both matters!"
