Seeing the child carrying a basket of charcoal fire calling him his benefactor, Zhang Yue couldn't help but be startled, and suddenly remembered that this was the child he had sponsored last year.
At that time, I asked Tang Jiu to come to the house and give him a hundred strings of money.
Zhang Yue smiled and said nothing when he heard the words, but seeing that Wang Shao had come to the realization, he immediately bowed to Zhang Yue and said: "It turns out that it is Bachelor Zhang who is the benefactor of my son. At that time, I didn't know who left the money. It's really
You can’t see Mount Tai if you have eyes!”
Zhang Yue smiled. At that time, he asked Tang Jiu not to leave his name, but he happened to not ask Tang Jiu to come with him today, otherwise things would be easy to talk about.
Zhang Yue waved his hand and said: "Wang joins the army, this matter is not worth mentioning."
Then Zhang Yue looked at the child and smiled: "What a coincidence. I didn't know I would see you again. This makes me ashamed."
The child said: "It is not good for a benefactor to show kindness without expecting repayment. If so, I am afraid there will be no good people in the future."
Zhang Yue laughed when he heard this.
Wang Shao introduced to Zhang Yue: "Xueshi Zhang, this is a thick character in the name of my second son. He is very filial. When he knew his mother was sick, he went to sell charcoal to support the family!"
When Zhang Yue heard this, he thought, OK, it turns out to be Wang Hou. This man is as famous as his father in history. During the Yuanyou period, Sima Guang took charge and gave up the Hehuang land that Wang Shao conquered during the Xining period. Later, this man
The son inherited his father's legacy and conquered Hehuang again.
Zhang Yue said: "It was freezing cold that day. I saw your son selling charcoal, and I knew he was an honest man. His conversation was extraordinary, and I also knew that my family had encountered difficulties for a while, so I felt compassion for you. You are a good boy!"
Wang Hou felt a little ashamed after hearing this.
But Wang Shao suddenly said: "Xueshi Zhang, you are a top scholar and a third-class official. You don't know the difficulties we have in selecting officials with good backgrounds."
Zhang Yueben turned around to walk, but stopped.
Wang Shao thought to himself and said: "I am the second-level Jinshi in the second year of Jiayou, but no one in the court talks about it. I was appointed as the head of Xin'an. The money I earned from serving as an official for three years was not enough to cover the expenses of a family. And because I refused to accept bribes,
I offended the county magistrate and almost postponed my suffering for a year. I was so worried that I couldn't sleep well for several nights and my hair turned gray."
"Now that three years of hard work have been completed, I arrived in the capital, but I had no money to make arrangements. I had to wait three months for His Majesty's resignation. I borrowed money to live in the capital, and I waited for two full years. In the end, I just moved to the capital.
Join the army for the manager!"
The commander-in-chief and the commander-in-chief joined the army and were called judge-general Bo-wei. They were the last among the fourth and seventh levels of selection.
Wang Shao said: "Xueshi Zhang, I'm not complaining to you. I can't pay back this hundred thousand dollars in this life, and I can work as a cow or a horse in the next life. I just can't figure out why it is so difficult for us to be an official in the Song Dynasty."
"Xueshi Zhang, you are a capital official and a former banquet official. You can often meet with the prime minister and participate in politics. Why can't you make suggestions for this?"
Zhang Yue was speechless for a moment. The problem of redundant officials in the Song Dynasty was not something that happened in a day or two. When selecting people to serve as low-level officials, if they came from a poor family, there was no other way except to bribe the officials with money and make a good arrangement.
Wang Shao was so miserable, and he happened to meet him.
Zhang Yue also had an inexplicable idea. These things are not done in a day or two. The temple officials are powerless to do it. Why should you blame me? Is it wrong to help you?
Zhang Yue said: "Wang Canjun, you are wrong. Three feet of ice does not last in a day. The redundant officials you just mentioned may not have been considered by all the princes in the court, but Fan Wenzhenggong proposed ten strategies.
In the middle, it happened to be how to eliminate redundant officials, but you also know what happened next..."
Wang Shao said: "Zhang Xueshi's principle, I also know the difficulties of the court, but I can't just push it away... That's all, you didn't serve as an official in the local area, how do you know the difficulties of our humble officials now? I hate the court deeply.
It’s unfair to kill officials like me.”
At this time, I heard a coughing sound, but I saw a woman walking out of the house and said: "Official, that's not what you said. It's great that Bachelor Zhang can help our family, but how can he help the officials in the world?"
Wang Shao was also stunned after hearing this, and said apologetically to Zhang Yue: "It's my fault, Bachelor Zhang. I have been holding this resentment in my stomach for three years. Now that I see you, I can't help complaining to you. You are so disrespectful to me, Wang Shao."
Kindhearted..."
Zhang Yue said: "Wang Junjun, you are right to have grievances. The imperial court cannot tolerate an honest and dedicated official like you, but this is the case in the whole world."
"If Saburo Ezhang comes to power one day, he will definitely get rid of all these ills. But now, even though he is a low-ranking official, I believe in a saying: 'People can spread the Tao, but it is not the Tao that spreads people.' What is Tao? We have been there throughout the ages.
I have pursued the Tao, but this sentence tells me that the most important thing is not the Tao, but the talent."
After hearing Zhang Yue's words, Wang Shao couldn't help but be stunned.
Zhang Yue said in a serious tone: "Without the word "human", Taoism is nothing."
"Wang Shenjun, I read your strategy and thought you were a man with ambition and ambition, so I think I have found the right person to come to you today."
"But when I saw you today, I was extremely disappointed. If you are such a resentful person, please forgive Wang Canjun. You are not the person I am looking for. I will take my leave now!"
Wang Shao was stunned when he heard this.
Zhang Yue started walking, but he saw Wang Hou hugging Zhang Yue's thigh and crying: "Sister Zhang, please don't leave. Please talk to my father again."
Zhang Yue patted Wang Hou on the shoulder, and then said to Wang Shao: "You are also a man with children, and I am also a new father. But how can I be a role model for my children when I see you like this?"
After Zhang Yue finished speaking, he left.
Wang Shao didn't say a word and sat slumped on the spot.
Yang on the side said: "My lord, I heard what you just said. Bachelor Zhang is willing to visit the thatched cottage in person, which shows that he really wants to promote you."
Wang Shao said in a deep voice: "I understand."
"Then why are you doing this?"
Wang Shao said: "I can't help it. I've been holding this breath in my heart for three years."
"It's all my fault. Academician Zhang was a Jinshi in the sixth year of Jiayou's reign. He was still ten years younger than me, but now he has become the author of Zuo Lang, but I am still the judge, Bo Wei. He wants to recommend me now, how can I accept it?
… Where are the people who will be dispatched and arranged?”
Yang said: "Officials, it's never too late for a man to make contributions and establish a career! So what if Bachelor Zhang is younger than you? If you can be made a marquis for your merits in the future, you won't be under him. Besides, I think Bachelor Zhang is younger than you.
Although he is young, he is really a capable person."
Wang Shaoyan said: "I know that Bachelor Zhang is a man of work, and so am I."
"My horizons were too small before. But with your illness and your trip to Shaanxi, how can you survive the long journey?"
Yang said: "My illness doesn't matter. No matter how long a woman lives, if her husband is underdeveloped, what's the use? If you become a marquis and marry a new wife in the future, if you still remember me then, come and burn her in front of my grave."
If you burn three sticks of incense, I will be happy for you even if there is knowledge under the spring."
When Wang Shao heard this, he couldn't help wiping his tears and said: "My lady is right, I lost my mind. I will go to Zhang Xueshi's house tomorrow to apologize to him in person, and said that I am willing to go to Shaanxi!"
Yang nodded with tears in his eyes and said, "That's good. I'll heat up two pots of wine. You have fulfilled your authority as an official."
Wang Shao said: "Wait a minute!"
Wang Shao walked to the door, picked up the stick and said, "I'll go out and meet those rogues for a while, and then I'll go to Shaanxi after I beat them away!"
