Wen Yanbo did not mean to agree with officials over-promoting Zhang Yue, but he just said that Wang Lie's example could be cited when preparing for this official position.
But the official heard another meaning of Wen Yanbo's words, so he clasped his hands and said: "Wang Lie is not a Jinshi, so he can still be worshipped. Then Zhang Yue will be the prime minister and the emperor. In the future, he will be worshiped, even a bachelor of the Imperial Academy.
It’s just a matter of a few years earlier or a few years later.”
"Then it's settled."
Wen Yanbo and Zeng Gongliang looked at each other. Officials were determined to promote an official for any reason.
It goes without saying that Zhang Yue, as the number one scholar, will be promoted to the waiter system sooner or later. If you insist on blocking others here, what will you do if you offend him? What will you do if he grows up and puts small shoes on your descendants?
So I had to do this first.
Chen Xiang, who was studying daily life aside, felt bursts of joy when he heard it, and he was really pleased for himself as a student.
Unknowingly, Zhang Yue's official position was above his own.
When Zeng Gongliang and Wen Yanbo walked out of the palace, they saw Lu Jing standing beside him, his face extremely pale and his hands covering his chest. Zeng Gongliang immediately ordered the eunuchs beside him to help Lu Jing leave.
Zeng Gongliang watched Lu Jing leave, sighed and said: "Mr. Wen, just now the official family in the palace was in a state of prosperity. It is not convenient for me to persuade him, but why didn't Gong Wen persuade him?"
"Your Liulang and Duzhi are related by marriage. If you resign in front of the officials, you can't be related."
Wen Yanbo thought to himself, those who are unfamiliar with him will be treated as good people, and those he is familiar with will be treated as evil people. Zeng Gongliang really made a good plan.
Wen Yanbo stroked his beard and said leisurely: "Mr. Zeng is right. I remember that when the Duke of Han and Wei was the prime minister, the late emperor wanted to appoint Su Zizhan to make a imperial edict. Su Zizhan came from the family of the Duke of Han and Wei, but the Duke of Han and Wei refused. The late emperor
He also wanted to promote Su Zizhan to the office of daily life, but the Duke of Han and Wei refused again, and finally promoted Su Zizhan to the post of official. The Duke of Han and Wei said that he must give the test first and then give the order, and then he agreed. "
"Think about the character of Han Wei Gong, I am really far inferior to him."
When Zeng Gongliang heard Wen Yanbo's words, his face turned green with anger.
How is this that Wen Yanbo is not as good as Han Qi? This is clearly saying that he is not as good as Han Qi.
Why are you, Zeng Gongliang, so cowardly? Don’t you dare to fight with the late emperor like Han Qi did?
Just like this, you still want to replace Han Qi all day long?
Do you really want to be Prime Minister Zhao Wen?
No wonder the officials wanted Fu Bi to return to the court.
Zeng Gongliang calmed down his emotions, laughed twice and said: "Yes, no wonder the government and the public mention the names of Han Wei Gong and Fu Zheng Gong. They all praise each other. How can my servants be so safe?"
Wen Yanbo mentioned Han Qi, and Zeng Gongliang mentioned Fu Bi.
In the second year of Zhihe, Wen Yanbo and Fu Bi paid homage to the prime minister. At that time, all the officials were celebrating their success.
At that time, Wen Yanbo was Zhao Wenxiang, and Fu Bi was still your deputy. Now it is conceivable that the officials would rather transfer Fu Bi back to Beijing to serve as prime minister than Wen Yanbo, who is the privy envoy.
Let neither of us talk about the other.
You two stabbed me secretly, and I shot you an arrow secretly, and everyone was even. Wen Yanbo said at this time: "Speaking of which, I'm afraid it will be difficult for Mr. Fu Zheng and Wang Jiefu to get along."
Zeng Gongliang said: "That makes sense. I'm afraid it was Mr. Fu Zheng who was in trouble when I saw it!"
Wen Yanbo couldn't help but stop.
But he saw Zeng Gongliang pointing to heaven and saying: "Can't you see it, Duke Wen? The official family and Jiefu are like one person, this is heaven!"
Wen Yanbo nodded slowly when he heard this: "Yes, who in this world can compete with God? Mr. Zeng saw things clearly, and his servants admire him very much!"
After saying that, the two of them laughed and chatted as they walked towards the political hall.
As for Lu Jing, who suffered the most misfortune, he staggered and was supported by the officials. Halfway there, he suddenly tripped over his feet and fell to the ground.
The official was taken aback and hurriedly stepped forward, beating his back and rubbing his chest. It took him a while to recover.
As for Sun Jue, who had just angered the officials, he had already withdrawn from the palace. Then he wandered around the palace road feeling very uneasy. He waited until Chen Xiang appeared and then went to greet him.
Chen Xiang looked at Sun Jue and shook his head.
Sun Jue's face turned red and he said: "Teacher, this is a disciple who fails to live up to expectations."
Chen Xiang said: "I don't blame you, but your temperament makes it easy to offend people when you are an official in Bianjing."
Sun Jue said: "The teacher is right. Students are fond of the Yi. They often practice it and use it to stand up and stand up. They may advance or retreat, speak or remain silent, follow or disobey. But now... I know that I have not mastered the Yi."
"I'm looking for a foreign job in the future. Let's leave the capital early."
Chen Xiang said: "There is nothing better than blaming yourself. Everything is too much and too little is not enough. You are just not following the right path."
Chen Xiang said: "But you don't have to be discouraged."
Sun Jue looked at Chen Xiang and asked why.
Chen Xiang did not answer. He knew that the officials were going to summon Fu Bi back to the court.
Nowadays, Zeng Gongliang, the Prime Minister of Jixian, does not have enough prestige, so Fu Bi must return to the court to govern. When the time comes, Fu Bi will be there, and he will be able to persuade the officials. Sun Jue may not be able to take the lead.
Chen Xiang said to Sun Jue: "Go and see him!"
"how?"
Chen Xiang said happily: "Your junior brother is about to be promoted. You go to congratulate him, but don't talk about his promotion. In the future, you should discuss things with your junior brother more. He is much more prudent than you."
When Sun Jue heard that Zhang Yue was about to be promoted, he couldn't help but said with great joy: "Junior brother has such a happy event, great, I'll go right away!"
Sun Jue turned around to leave, but called Chen Xiang to stop him: "Yes, remember not to reveal that it was me who said it."
As someone close to an official, Chen Xiang certainly knew not to reveal forbidden Chinese language. However, if Zhang Yue had done such a good deed, even if he didn't say it, someone would definitely have some information about it.
After Zhang Yuezhi was impeached, he knew that this matter was not a big deal.
Lu Jing was the imperial censor. He impeached Han Qi, Ouyang Xiu, and Zhang Dun, and all of them were successful without exception.
While Zhang Yue was thinking about how to write a self-defense memorial, he was also thinking about how to respond. Should he go to inquire about the news?
When Zhang Yue was sitting in Tianzhang Pavilion, he didn't realize that Hu Ding had entered.
Hu Ding was an official of Tianzhang Pavilion and was in charge of the affairs of the pavilion. However, a pavilion official like Zhang Yue did not care about the affairs of Tianzhang Pavilion and only had to answer to the emperor alone.
When Hu Ding saw Zhang Yue, he immediately cleared his desk and placed the Four Treasures of the Study on the desk.
Hu Ding is the Dongtou enshrinement officer of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and he has a very high status in the palace. He should not do such things as a servant on weekdays. But Zhang Yue saw Hu Ding helping him, and he felt a little strange in his heart.
Zhang Yue asked: "Have you heard anything about my impeachment this time?"
Hu Ding usually kept in touch with Zhang Yue because he was well-informed, but this time he said with a serious face: "I didn't hear a word of the news."
Zhang Yue was surprised that Hu Ding, who used to know everything, couldn't hear anything this time.
"Zhang Zhengyan, is this your seal ribbon?"
Zhang Yue looked at the official seal on his case. This was what he would be sealing after he finished writing the official document. Why was Hu Ding interested in his own seal?
"how?"
But Hu Ding looked at it carefully, and then said meaningfully: "This seal is really too small, not worthy of you Zhang Zhengyan."
In the Song Dynasty, the official seal was generally larger the bigger the official seal was. Zhang Yue heard Hu Ding's idea and smiled and said: "Why do you say this?"
Hu Ding smiled slightly, as if he had something in his mind.
Zhang Yue saw the other party's nagging look. Just then, Sun Jue entered and saw the other party's face glowing with joy.
Zhang Yue thought to himself that the other party didn't know that he had been impeached, otherwise he wouldn't be so happy.
"Big Brother!"
Sun Jue smiled and sat in front of Zhang Yue's case and asked, "What should I write about?"
Zhang Yue then told him about his impeachment and that he was writing a self-defense memorial to the emperor.
Sun Jue laughed loudly and said, "I think you don't need to write it."
Zhang Yue asked curiously: "Why?"
Sun Jue smiled. This is true for promotions in the officialdom. As long as there is no final decree, everything is subject to change. If you say it in advance, but the person does not take up the post in the end, it will not be a failure to claim credit, but a resentment.
However, generally speaking, before an official is promoted, someone with enough weight will give you a greeting in advance. It is rare that an official will be promoted suddenly without knowing it.
The only exception is officials personally recommended by the official family, so this greeting cannot be exchanged.
Sun Jue smiled and said: "Now that you are a Jane in the Emperor's heart, you will be fine. I think you should stop writing. Let's go have a drink together tonight. I'll be a host and I won't let you spend any money."
"
Zhang Yue smiled and said, "Senior brother, you have a heart."
The two of them had a few words, and an official came here to tell Zhang Yue to go to the political hall.
Zhang Yue knew that it must be Lu Jing's impeachment, so he confessed to Sun Jue and then went to the Zhengshi Hall.
At this time, Zeng Gongliang, Zhao Fu, and Tang Jie, who were both political advisors, were discussing matters in the political hall.
Upon learning that Zhang Yue asked for an audience, the three of them couldn't help but smile at the same time.
After Zhang Yue entered, he greeted the three prime ministers.
Zhang Yue guessed that after he was impeached by Lu Jing, he must have come here to explain the situation to the political affairs hall, and at the same time, he was waiting for the prime minister's response.
It is true that he acted in a humble manner and broke the rules of the officialdom, so Lu Jing's impeachment of himself was not without purpose. Although Zhang Yue relied on the favor of the officials and was not afraid of being severely punished, he still had to listen to the lectures at the Political Affairs Hall.
While Zhang Yue was receiving the gift, he observed the words and expressions of the three bosses and guessed the details from the faces of the three bosses.
After Han Qi resigned as prime minister, a group of Zhongshu people changed. The familiar Ouyang Xiu, Wu Kui, and Zhao Gai left one after another, leaving only Zeng Gongliang.
As for Zhao Yi and Tang Jie, they were both newly promoted from the position of Third Secretary to the position of Political Advisor.
Zhao Wei, Zhang Yue had heard of Tang Jie's reputation, especially since Tang Jie was someone who even the Emperor Renzong had been furious about.
Now Zeng Gongliang, Zhao Wei, and Tang Jie are both serious and serious, and they can't see any clues.
Zhao Wei said: "Do you know the memorial of Lu Yushi impeaching you this time?"
Seeing that it was Zhao Fu who spoke, Zhang Yue breathed a sigh of relief. It would be terrible if Tang Jie asked.
Zhang Yue replied: "I understand."
"What's the explanation?"
Zhang Yue had already written his defense, but he remembered his senior brother's reminder just now, so he replied: "I have no words to say when I submit to an official position. It is true that I am not the first to submit to an official position."
Zeng Gongliang, Zhao Wei and Tang Jie looked at each other.
Zhao Yan said: "Since you have no excuses, you already knew your mistake first..."
Immediately Zhao Wei scolded Zhang Yue lightly.
These criticisms were not painful, and Zhang Yue secretly cried out in his heart, should he just brush them off lightly?
After Zhao reprimanded him, Zeng Gongliang took over and said: "Du Zhi is also young and vigorous, so it is understandable that he has lost his temper. But don't say that you are not waiting to be controlled. If you are waiting to be controlled, how can you dare to be an official?"
How can you talk lightly when discussing politics with Hanlin scholars?"
