After hearing what the official said, Zhang Yue was deeply moved.
The emperor will remember your merits in his heart. This is more important than anything else.
Zhang Yueyi was so happy that he was about to win, but then he thought about how to hold his breath at this time.
When you are in the officialdom, you must remember a saying: credit should be attributed to those above, and faults should be attributed to those below.
So Zhang Yue replied: "Your Majesty, I have no merit. I just said a few words and acted as a consultant. If it weren't for your Majesty being smart and decisive, with great blessings in your own hands, and your ambition to bring peace to the world, I would have said these few words."
It’s just a chat after dinner.”
When the officials saw that Zhang Yue was very measured, they even appreciated him. This was the fate of King Wen of Zhou and his ministers like Jiang Shang.
The officials did not say this. In fact, when faced with the ministers they really wanted to use, the officials would be stingy in praising them, for fear that they would become arrogant when they succeed.
Just now, the officials deliberately talked about Lu Huiqing's credit for stealing Zhang Yue in front of Zhang Yue. Instead, they wanted to test Zhang Yue's measure.
See if he can bear the grievance.
Zhang Yue expressed that he was very satisfied.
Wang Anshi kept recommending Lu Huiqing to himself, but the officials actually had their own judgment.
Lu Huiqing was indeed very talented, but Sima Guang, Lu Gongzhu and other ministers criticized him as a traitor, but there was no basis for it.
In the eyes of the officials, Sima Guang and Lu Gongzhu were certainly too critical of Lu Huiqing.
But his jealousy of Zhang Yue was obvious, and not only once or twice, not only the officials, but other ministers also saw it.
At the same time, Lu Huiqing strives for perfection in everything. The new law he enacts does not tolerate any criticism. Whenever the ministers disagree with the details of the new law, he will fight to the end in front of the king until he wins.
You must know that Wang Anshi sometimes shows an attitude of accepting criticism humbly. For example, when Su Che criticized the Qingmiao Law before, Wang Anshi thought that what he said was reasonable, so he said he would not discuss the Qingmiao Law again within a month.
But Lu Huiqing never thought that she was wrong.
At the same time, there were criticisms from outsiders about some of the officials he appointed in the Ordinance Department. Lu Huiqing was also very protective of their shortcomings.
The official's heart was like a mirror, and he suddenly said to Zhang Yue: "Wang Anshi and Sima Guang both said that you have no place to gain experience. Please see if I want to send you to another job..."
External appointment?
Zhang Yue hesitated when he heard this. It wasn't that foreign appointments were bad. If his official position was to rise further, he would definitely have to go to foreign offices for a while, but... But he really couldn't bear to leave his wife and children on the hot bed!
Yes, I am such a family-loving person.
Gold and silver dens are not as good as your own dog kennel!
This is really embarrassing for me.
So Zhang Yue said: "I...I don't want to leave the capital, and I can't bear to leave your majesty. I am willing to serve you..."
After hearing Zhang Yue's words, the official said happily: "I still have a use for Zhang Qing now, but when appointing officials in the imperial court, you still need to act according to the rules."
"Of course, if Zhang Qing has any requests, you can mention them to me and I will grant them."
Zhang Yue thought carefully after hearing this and said: "Your Majesty, I have the honor to speak out. Can this foreigner take the family papers with him?"
The officials were confused when they heard this. What kind of request was this?
Then the officials realized, boy! I want to cultivate you, but you are reluctant to part with the warm home in Bianjing, and you actually bargain with me here.
The official looked at Zhang Yue and said angrily and amusedly: "Family papers, it's good to bring the family papers with you! Zhang Qing, you have been married for several years now, and so have I, but now when I return to the palace, I feel that the queen...is really ugly.
It's disgusting. If you can't see it, you can't see it. It's better for you!"
After hearing this, Zhang Yue thought to himself, "What does it mean that the queen's face is disgusting?"
Don’t the officials know what a washboard is?
However, when the officials saw that Zhang Yue had no intention of taking up a new post, they thought that Wang Anshi and Sima Guang's evaluation of Zhang Yue was absolutely right.
The officials then thought about it and thought that although it was not the beginning of the reform, there were still many places where Zhang Yue's staff was needed.
Since it is such a foreign appointment, let's put it aside in advance and let's talk about it some time later. When the time comes, Zhang Yueruo continues to push back and forth, and I will really use a big stick to drive him away.
"If that's the case, let's let it go first."
Zhang Yue breathed a sigh of relief when he heard what the official said.
On this day, Lu Huiqing recommended that Li Chengzhi was promoted to a capital official because of his meritorious service in recommending the exemption from service. The official also specially praised Li Chengzhi and said: "Since I came to the throne, I have never easily changed people's ranks. I am ordering you now, which is a great kindness."

After Li Chengzhi was promoted to a Beijing official, he directly entered the Zhongshu Provincial Department and was ordered to inspect the Zhongshu execution room.
In addition to Li Chengzhi, Wang Anshi also used Shen Kuo and Shen Liao's uncle and nephew.
Wang Anshi was related to Shen Kuo's family. When Huang Lu got married, Zhang Yue went to have a wedding banquet and met Wang Anshi and Shen Liao at the banquet.
Wang Anshi thought highly of Shen Liao and praised him as much as Xie An and Tao Yuanming.
It happened that Wu Chong was promoted to the third envoy, so he recommended Shen Liao. When Shen Liao's elder brother Shen Tao resigned as the governor of Kaifeng Prefecture, he recommended Wu Chong to replace him as the governor of Kaifeng Prefecture. This was a return favor.
Wang Anshi asked Wu Chong to recommend Shen Liao prison to the internal storage warehouse.
Shen Kuo happened to be retired, so Wang Anshi asked him to edit "Southern Suburb Style", along with Li Ding.
Editing is a good job, and you can get promoted if you fix it.
As for Li Ding, who stabbed Li Chang in the back, the officials decided to use him in a big way. Wang Anshi and others were also thinking about how to arrange his errands, but no one expected that this appointment would cause an uproar and become a key political event.
.
In Wang Anshi's house after the Shangyuan Festival.
As prime minister, Wang Anshi was invited by the officials to go to Xuande Tower to enjoy the lanterns of Aoshan Mountain. As for Lu Huiqing, Wang Yu and others were all enjoying the lanterns in the Prime Minister's Mansion.
This Shangyuan Festival was originally a day for people to enjoy sightseeing in Bianjing with their families, but for people in the royal party, important matters of the court were in front of them, and these children had long-lasting love, and their parents were always disdainful.
Wang Anshi and Wang Yu were devoted to the affairs of the court, regarded the court as their family, and focused on reform. Naturally, everyone in the royal party followed suit.
During festivals like the Lantern Festival, they gather together to discuss government affairs.
After Lu Huiqing arrived, Zeng Bu came, Zhang Dun and Zhang Qi came, then Shen Liao and Shen Kuo came, and then Li Chengzhi and Li Ding also came.
These people are now the backbone of the royal party.
In the absence of Wang Anshi, Lu Huiqing was supposed to hold the party, but Lu Huiqing pushed it to Wang Yu.
Wang Yu also did his duty to sit at the top of the list and decide on everyone's opinions.
While everyone was eating Yuanxiao, they listened to Wang Yu's comments: "This time, the ministers (Li Chengzhi), Kunzhong of the Shen family, and the uncles and nephews of the Zhang family have all been settled, but the senior one (Li Ding) has not yet been rewarded. You guys
What errands have you arranged?"
The official positions in the court were public instruments, but they were actually reviewed and awarded by Wang Yu privately, and no one thought there was anything wrong with it.
Li Ding smiled and said: "Thank you for the promotion, Mr. Dalang. Li has been assigned the position of editor and compiler since he first arrived in the capital from Xiuzhou. I don't dare to expect anything else."
Wang Yu pointed at Li Ding with his fan and said: "You are so humble. If there is no brother to expose Li Chang's affairs this time, this young seedling law may be ruined by Sima Twelve and Lu Zhongcheng. Rewards and punishments must be clearly defined, otherwise how can you run the army? There is no need to be humble, today's situation
The seat is yours!"
After speaking, Wang Yu stood up and gave the first place to Li Ding.
Li Ding refused no matter what, but was helped by Wang Yuqiang to take the throne.
Li Ding was a little uneasy at first, but thinking about the great contribution he had made to Wang Anshi and his son, he smiled and stopped refusing.
