Zhang Yue also had some thoughts after listening to Han Qi's words.
I have lived in a peaceful and prosperous age for a long time, and I have somewhat forgotten the hardships of the change of political power. Especially for Zhao and Song who gained the world with the yellow robe, this can be said to be a lesson.
During the Chenqiao mutiny, Prime Minister Fan Zhi led Wang Pu, Wei Renpu and others to question Zhao Kuangyin as to why he rebelled.
As a result, Luo Yanxuan drew his sword in front of Zhao Kuangyi's tent and shouted sternly: "I have no master, and I will win the emperor today!"
When several prime ministers saw the weapons, their faces turned pale with fright. They immediately lowered their rank and bowed down, recognizing Zhao Kuangyin as the emperor.
Commenting on Emperor Taizong, Fan Zhi said with a smile that among the prime ministers and assistants, he could abide by the rules, be careful about his reputation, be honest, and never betray the right person. But it is a pity that Shizong should die.
Can this be blamed on Fan Zhi?
With weapons at each other's throats, the dignified prime minister was no different from a local chicken to tell the truth. The fragility of the civil service group in the transition of power was immediately exposed.
Only when you have military power in your hands can your words have weight.
After this, the prime minister is less useful than a warrior.
But think about why there was a mutiny in Chenqiao? It was because the young master was weak, ministers such as Fan Zhi were not in charge, and there were no strong figures sitting in the court, so they could not control Zhao Kuangyin who had military power.
What's the use of having 10,000 regrets after Fan interrogates.
Fortunately, he met Zhao Kuangyin, otherwise the change of dynasty would not be filled with blood.
After listening to Han Qi's words, Zhang Yue agreed three-points and obeyed seven-points: "As the Prime Minister said, when the country is in turmoil, the throne has not yet been established, so a strong prime minister needs to be in charge. If the prince is established early, the country can be reduced.
In times of instability, there is the danger of replacement."
Hearing this, Han Qi laughed and said, "I had a heart-to-heart talk with Du Zhi all night, and I just received your words. It's really rare."
At this time, a cadre came in and exchanged a few words with Han Qi.
Han Qi smiled and said: "I have roasted some mutton at home, so you might as well chat with me while eating."
Zhang Yue said: "It is better to obey orders than to be respectful."
Immediately Han Qi and Zhang Yue got up and went to the banquet hall. A charcoal fire was burning in the center of the banquet hall, and a cook was turning over the roast mutton.
At this time, the mutton has just been roasted, and it is the time when the aroma is overflowing.
Zhang Yue suddenly felt hungry again.
Han Qi ordered the cook to take a knife and cut off a piece of lamb's tail with oil and handed it to Zhang Yue. Zhang Yue directly held the still-roasted mutton in his hand and put it into his mouth. His mouth was filled with oil, and then he took a sip of wine.
I feel so good. Mutton and wine are enough for me in this life.
Han Qi watched Zhang Yue eat with gusto, so he cut a piece of fat off the sheep's back and put it into his mouth.
Zhang Yue was not afraid that the mutton would stain his clothes. He ate the meat in big mouthfuls and was very careful about his spontaneity. As for Han Qi, his actions were more graceful. He cut the mutton into moderately large pieces and did not want the fat to stain his beautiful beard.
Han Qi signaled the cook to step back and said slowly: "After I serve you at the banquet, if I can persuade your majesty to establish a heir apparent, I owe you a great favor. What do you think of my proposal?"
Zhang Yue asked, "Ms. Sir, I dare to ask about the establishment of a crown prince. Does Empress Cao object?"
Han Qi said: "To be honest, Queen Cao is in a dilemma, but Mr. Fu is afraid that I will be able to make a decision, so he has repeatedly tried to push back the matter in front of Queen Cao."
Zhang Yue listened to his inner thoughts and realized that it was really Rashomon, and each person explained it one by one.
Zhang Yue said: "Sima Jun has served longer than me. Why did Mr. Han look for me instead of him?"
Han Qi was speechless.
"It's okay if you don't want to join me. After all, Mr. Ou is also in the book and we are part of the same family as me." Han Qi said.
Zhang Yue saw Han Qi saying this: "Mr. Han, I am doing this for public reasons and not for personal reasons. I will definitely advise your majesty to establish a heir as early as possible. Mr. Han does not need to mention the matter of human relations, not to mention which prince is beyond my control."
In other words."
Han Qi smiled and said: "Du Zhi is a gentleman. Since you say so, I believe you."
After the official recovered from his illness, Zhang Yue resumed his duties at the Jingyan.
On that day, a family of oracle officials came to the Sutra Banquet Hall in person. It happened that Sima Guang was giving a lecture, and Zhang Yue accompanied him at the Sutra Banquet Hall. Zhang Yue and Sima Guang sat together and chatted happily.
At this time, an official came to the banquet and said, "I have met Bachelor Sima. I wonder if I can lend a word."
Sima Guang asked Zhang Yue to accompany him, walked behind the screen and exchanged a few words with him, and soon he left.
Zhang Yue did not ask, but Sima Guang took the initiative and said: "This person is a disciple of Zhongshu and a confidant of Xianggong Han."
Zhang Yue remembered that he was at Han Qi's house a few days ago and asked Han Qi if he had looked for Sima Guang?
At this moment, Sima Guang suddenly sighed and said: "We, the ministers, speak out for the king, for the Tao, and for the truth, how can we be doing it for Zhongshu?"
Zhang Yue thought to himself, no need to guess, Sima Guang must have also rejected Han Qi's solicitation.
Of course, Sima Guang refused the appointment of the prime minister. This move can be said to be very noble, but why should he tell himself when it is noble? It is like Sima Guang had the habit of writing diaries, but later these diaries were accidentally made public.
Sima Guang said to Zhang Yue: "If I have anything passionate to say when I meet you, don't be surprised."
Zhang Yue thought to himself, what is Sima Guang going to do? Has he made a big move today?
At this time, the imperial chariot of the official family had arrived at Yiying Pavilion.
After the official sat down, he was not very happy and said: "I don't want to lecture today. The two ministers will chat with me for a few words."
Sima Guang said: "I wonder why your majesty is worried?"
The official said: "I am not very happy about Fan Zhen's radical remarks today."
Sima Guang said: "I know this. I met Fan Zhen a few days ago. He wanted to go up to the throne and talk to Your Majesty about establishing a heirloom, so as to avoid a recurrence of the last time when His Majesty fainted at the banquet and left the entire dynasty without a leader."
The officials were stunned when they heard Sima Guang's words, and remained silent with a first-class anger.
But I saw Sima Guang continue to say: "Your Majesty, I was talking to Fan Zhen at that time. It is said in the Book of Rites that if the big sect has no children, then the small sect will be the successor. The one who is the successor will be his son."
"His Majesty Chen Yuan chooses a wise man from the royal family to take care of the second prince, waiting for the birth of the emperor's heir. If the emperor's heir is born, the wise man will retreat to the vassal service. Otherwise, Dian Suwei and Yin Jingyi will be enough to hold the world's hope.
"
But seeing that the officials were a little cold and discouraged, he thought for a long time before he said, "Does it have to be a clan member chosen as the successor?"
Sima Guang said: "Yes, I will risk my life to speak out!"
The official sighed: "These are the words of a loyal minister, but others dare not mention them in front of me."
Sima Guang knelt down and said: "I said this, saying that I will die, but I don't want your majesty to accept it."
The officials were silent again.
Zhang Yue watched from the sidelines and knew that the official family was following the same old routine as always. Fan Zhen, Tang Jie, and Bao Zheng had mentioned the establishment of a reserve bank many times, but the official family seemed to be persuaded, but in the end
I know the same sentence that came back and forth. I will think about it carefully and then give an answer to the Qing family. This day is not far away, not far away, really not far away.
Just when Zhang Yue thought that Sima Guang was going to do this again, he heard an official suddenly say: "What do you think of Bachelor Zhang's opinion?"
Zhang Yue's heart was beating like a drum.
Just now Sima Guang took the main attack, but now what about himself?
At this time, Zhang Yue didn't express anything but said just right next to Sima Guang: "I attach it to you!"
