The matter of establishing the throne has been pursued by ministers of the DPRK and Central Government for many years.
When Sima Guang first decided to merge the states, he repeatedly proposed to establish a reserve. Some people did it for the sake of the country, and some people did it for the success of the decision-making, but most of them did it for both.
If the establishment of the reserve is successful, this is the biggest piece of fat. How can Zhang Yue get involved as soon as he joins the Sutra Banquet?
Therefore, Zhang Yue's sentence "I attach it to you" not only left a cautious and reliable image for the emperor, but at the same time, he could not take advantage of Sima Guang.
Remember not to use the magic power that is not your own, otherwise it will be a fatal disaster.
Besides, this proposal was proposed by Sima Guang, and he came to take charge of it. Zhang Yue just happened to have this meeting, and he also wanted to thank Sima Guang for his willingness to support him.
The official said: "When I fainted at the banquet, you told me that the prime minister needed to see the face of the sky in person, and thought he was sure, and not to listen to the hearsay of the palace servants. This was really a true insight. Why are you so cautious now?"
Sima Guang glanced at Zhang Yue.
Zhang Yue thought to himself, this is what the emperor must say himself.
Zhang Yue said: "Your Majesty, I think what Academician Sima said is reasonable. It is indeed the law of the people to convert a small sect into a large sect. However, since the matter of state affairs is a big one, it is better for your majesty to discuss it with Prime Minister Zhongshu first.
"
Sima Guang nodded slightly.
Zhang Yue's words meant that he was discussing with Zhongshu. It seemed that he was considering the officials and had no intention of making a decision for the emperor.
On the contrary, Zhang Yuezhen said something to support Sima Guang's opinion, which would give the officials an extra layer of concerns, which would be counterproductive.
Han Qi and other Zhongshu prime ministers did not intend to establish the heir apparent early, and there was absolutely no reason to object. At the same time, they also gave the decision-making power to Zhongshu, so that once the heir apparent was established, neither Zhongshu nor the new emperor would forget Zhang Yue.
of credit.
The official nodded when he heard this and said: "This is a prudent view. It has been a tradition since ancient times to choose a clan heir as the emperor's heir. So the two Qing families should go to Xiaoyu Zhongshu."
Zhang Yue was about to agree, but Sima Guang, who was standing by him, refused: "Your Majesty, please ask yourself to be the Prime Minister in Zhongshu for this matter. I dare not do it for you."
After Zhang Yue heard this, he admired Sima Guang greatly. His response just now was already very clever, but Sima Guang was one step ahead of him.
He really deserves to be a great person who wrote Zizhi Tongjian.
There is no rush to persuade the emperor to establish a heirloom. In fact, this is the same as courting a girl. It has to be carried out to the last step. Instead, tell the girl that you should think about it again, as if you will consider it for the rest of your life.
Why did Fan Zhen, Tang Jie, and Bao Zheng fail to persuade the establishment of a reserve before? It was because they were too hasty. Could it be that Sima Guang was really asked to get things done this time?
After Sima Guang said this, he and Zhang Yue walked out of Yiying Pavilion together. Zhang Yue was a little afraid of Sima Guang for some reason.
In terms of talent, Wang Anshi is better than Sima Guang, but in terms of the level of political struggle, Wang Anshi is by no means Sima Guang's opponent.
Sima Guang said: "Du Zhi, what do you think of His Majesty's wishes?"
Zhang Yue said: "It's not firm yet, it's between permission and disallowance."
Sima Guang said: "This matter cannot be urgent. Let's go to Zhongshu first to reply. Remember not to reveal a single word about the establishment of the reserve."
Zhang Yue said: "Your Majesty, I will remember it."
Then Zhang Yue and Sima Guang came to the political hall together. After the banquet, they reported to Prime Minister Zhongshu what they had said to the emperor during the banquet. This was a common practice.
Zhao Gai was not in Zhongshu today. Han Qi, Zeng Gongliang and Ouyang Xiu were handling government affairs as usual. They met with Zhang Yue and Sima Guang came in. The three prime ministers and more than ten Zhongshu officials who were waiting for orders were as usual.
Like that.
Little did I realize that this was a different day than usual.
Han Qi put down the memorial to Sima Guang, and Zhang Yue asked: "How did your Majesty look at the banquet today?"
Sima Guang said: "Your Majesty is in good spirits. After deliberation for half an hour, there is no sign of shortness of breath. Today at the banquet, your Majesty asked us about the Jianghuai salt matter, and Bachelor Zhang and I answered according to the rules. Your Majesty wants to write a letter on this matter.
Make a statement."
Han Qi said to Zeng Gongliang: "If the third salt and iron department is Lu Shihong, he can be asked to write a statement to Zhongshu first and let him know how to imitate Cai Ting's strategy of controlling salt in Jiangxi."
Zeng Gongliang nodded and summoned a small official to go and do it.
Han Qi picked up the official document and asked Sima Guang seemingly casually: "What else does the saint have to say?"
After Han Qi finished speaking, he heard Sima Guang didn't answer immediately and couldn't help but look up at him. Han Qi put down the official document and looked at Sima Guang and Zhang Yue again.
Sima Guang was senior, so it was impossible for Zhang Yue to be the first to respond. Moreover, the establishment of the heir apparent was indeed Sima Guang's credit, and he was merely taking advantage of Sima Guang's credit.
Han Qi motioned for the left and right to leave first. Sima Guang considered his words and said, "Your Majesty also told me and Zhang Xueshi about the plan for the ancestral temple and the country."
Zeng Gongliang and Ouyang Xiu slightly adjusted their sitting postures, and the atmosphere suddenly solidified.
Han Qi thought for a moment and signaled Zhang Yue and Sima Guang to leave first.
When Sima Guang and Zhang Yue arrived at the hall, they saw Chen Zhu, the imperial censor, waiting here to be received by Prime Minister Zhongshu.
Zhang Yue immediately saluted seriously when he saw Chen Zhu.
He and Sima Guang were both examiners in their own provincial examinations. Chen Xiang initially asked her to go through his back door. Later, in order to avoid suspicion, although the two did not communicate publicly, the other party still treated Zhang Yue as his nephew.
Chen Zhu smiled and said, "It's Jun Shi and Du Zhi."
Sima Guang looked solemn, nodded briefly and left. Zhang Yue said a few words to Chen Zhu before following Sima Guang.
Chen Zhu looked back as if he had a premonition that something had happened. At this time, the court official went down the steps and led Chen Zhu into the hall to meet Prime Minister Zhongshu.
Zhang Yue and Sima Guang returned to the secret pavilion and sat down in Zhilu, when Chen Zhu suddenly arrived.
Sima Guang looked at Chen Zhu and asked, "Si Dao, why did you go to the political hall today?"
Chen Zhu said: "Today I went to the Zhengshi Hall to discuss the affairs of Ji Qiu Da Ming Hall. Han Gong took the photo of the Taiwei, and Ming Zhu was the supervisor of the sacrifice."
It turned out to be a matter of the Mingtang ceremony.
Chen Zhu said: "After Han Gong and I discussed the etiquette of the Mingtang, he calmly spoke to me. I have always heard that I and Jun Shi have been on good terms with each other. Only when Jun Shi did it did he seem to be advising on the establishment of an heir to the official family."
"Han Gong said that he appreciates you very much. Can you send your confession to Zhongshu first? If you two want to make this comment, you have no say. The stakes here should be made clear to you. It is not his intention to come here.
, but Duke Han ordered me to convey this intention."
Zhang Yue's heart brightened after hearing this. It was indeed Han Qi's style of acting.
What does it mean to make such an argument without speaking it yourself? It means that when Zhang Yue and Sima Guang talk about establishing a throne, they must go through Zhongshu first, and you cannot express your opinion to the officials on your own.
Han Qi needed the credit for making the decision and asked Sima Guang and Zhang Yue to give him the credit.
The meaning of the warning is obvious. It is not appropriate for you humble ministers to take away such a great contribution. The credit for establishing the reserve must go to Zhongshu's disciples. If you don't know how to promote, you will not be able to bear it, but you will be dead.
Zhang Yue thought to himself that he and Sima Guang had no intention of monopolizing the decision-making power.
If such a great contribution was divided between himself and Sima Guang, officials of Sima Guang's stature would not be able to bear it, let alone Zhang Yue.
Therefore, the correct approach and decision-making should be attributed to Prime Minister Zhongshu. Han Qi and others ate the fattest meat, while Sima Guang followed behind and ate the bones.
Not bad.
If they are not clear about their position among them, Han Qi and others are determined not to tolerate Sima Guang, and they will not be able to tolerate themselves. Therefore, it is natural for Zhongshu Sheng to complete the final blow, otherwise Zhang Yue will not speak in front of the emperor.
To discuss with Prime Minister Zhongshu, Sima Guang said what the emperor himself said to Zhongshu.
But Han Qi asked Chen Zhu to tell Sima Guang and Zhang Yue clearly that you must give the credit to Zhongshu.
This style of acting is really very Han Qi.
Zhang Yue didn't say anything. Anyway, he was following Sima Guang's lead in this matter.
Will Sima Guang explain that he and Zhang Yue have said what he said in the book of self-reflection in front of the officials?
Zhang Yue and Chen Zhu were both waiting for Sima Guang to say something, but Sima Guang said nothing and remained silent. Zhang Yue could understand how the emperor and his ministers discussed important social affairs, how could they be leaked out?
Shu, tell me secretly what is going on.
Seeing Sima Guang like this, Chen Zhu suddenly felt bored and stood up and said, "I'll take my leave first."
Zhang Yue saw that Sima Guang didn't say anything, so he said: "Bachelor Sima, let me see Mr. Chen out!"
Sima Guang was a gentleman and didn't have to say that he wanted to put up a signboard, but he couldn't. He had a secret agreement with Han Qi in advance.
Sima Guang nodded silently, and Zhang Yue immediately caught up with Chen Zhu.
When Chen Zhu saw Zhang Yue chasing after him, he smiled and said, "Save him."
Zhang Yue stood by the door and said in a voice that could be heard by Chen Zhu and Sima Guang: "Today in the Yiying Pavilion, we spoke like this to His Majesty. I really dare not tell him, otherwise it will reveal the forbidden secret discussion."
It’s a crime. But please tell Mr. Han that the final credit for this matter will go to Zhongshu.”
After listening to Zhang Yue's story, Chen Zhu was overjoyed and said, "I'm going to report to Mr. Han right now."
Watching Chen Zhu leave, Zhang Yue smiled. Chen Zhu was kind to him, and he hoped that the other party would also share the soup in such a matter.
After returning home, Zhang Yue eagerly awaited the official's decision. However, a few days after the incident, the official seemed to have suffered from amnesia and did not write a word in the middle school letter.
This day is also the occasion of Zhangyue and Sima Guang's sutra banquet.
Sima Guang and Zhang Yue met with officials at the same time.
The official smiled and said, "What historical events did the two ministers talk about today?"
Sima Guang said: "Your Majesty, I would like to inform you about the affairs of Emperor Wenzong of the Tang Dynasty."
The officials were silent.
Who is Tang Wenzong? The male protagonist of the Manna Incident.
After the death of Emperor Wenzong of Tang Dynasty, officials were abolished and established. Whichever emperor's heir attached to them would be appointed as emperor.
Sima Guang really learned history very well.
The official was speechless, and Sima Guang said: "I spoke to your Majesty a few days ago, and your Majesty was happy to do so. I thought that your Majesty would immediately issue an edict and explain it to Zhongshu. But now there is no news. There must be someone here who wants to speak to your Majesty."
, His Majesty is said to be in great prosperity during the Spring and Autumn Period, with hundreds of billions of descendants, so why would you consider such an ominous thing?"
"The villain who makes such remarks is not without foresight, but harbors evil intentions. In a hurry, he would like Ma Yuanzhi to support those who usually do good things. Since Emperor Wenzong of the Tang Dynasty, the creation of heirs was all based on the wishes of the left and right eunuchs. These things
People usually claim to be the leader of the country, or even the disciple of the emperor. How can the disasters from now on be unimaginable?"
