Zhang Yue walked on the palace road as usual, and time was just like the past.
Officials gathered in twos and threes in the corridor under the main palace, and the most talked about was the new law.
Zhang Yue bowed his hands to them and continued walking along the corridor to the main hall.
"Saburo!"
Zhang Yue suddenly heard someone calling him and looked back with surprise.
"Dalangjun!"
Zhang Yue walked up to Ouyang Fa and looked him up and down, but saw that he was only thirty years old, but his temples were all gray and his face was full of vicissitudes of life.
Ouyang Fa and Zhang Yue held hands, and for a moment they were filled with emotions.
"In the fourth year of Zhiping, when my father and I left the capital, we were completely dejected. I, a dignified man, was humiliated and pointed at by others. I was already looking for a place where no one knew me."
"But you have invited me many times, and my wife is very considerate. This time, I have received the favor of Your Majesty to grant you the rank of Jinshi. I really don't know how to be grateful."
"Yes, it's great to see Da Langjun again. Recently, I keep thinking about what happened back then. I remember that when I first entered the capital, I was taken in by my uncle and Da Langjun... and then..."
Talking about the past, the floodgates of Zhang Yue's memory seemed to be suddenly opened.
When he first entered Ouyang Xiu's family, he met Ouyang Fa and Mrs. Wu. Later, he was persuaded by Ouyang Xiu to get married with the Wu family...
"Yes, uncle, how is your health?"
"Although my father is in poor health and is getting older, he is still content and content. He calls himself the Sixty-one Lay Buddhist. Can you tell where this name comes from?"
Of course Zhang Yue knew, but he still asked: "Why do you say that?"
Ouyang Fa smiled and said: "These six ones are a piano, a chess game, a collection of ten thousand volumes of books, a thousand collections of ancient records, and the last two ones, Saburo will definitely not be able to guess it."
Zhang Yue was moved when he heard this and said: "It's a jug of wine for an old man!"
Ouyang Fa was stunned for a moment and then said: "No wonder my father often says that Du is extremely smart. My father's original name is Drunkard. This pot of wine, an old man, is his original name."
Zhang Yue smiled bitterly, regretting that he shouldn't have said so much: "My uncle's open-mindedness is far beyond my reach."
Ouyang Fa shook his head and said: "Sanlang, don't belittle yourself. My father and Duke Han and Wei both think highly of you. Duke Han and Wei said that the one who can bring order to chaos in the future is you!"
Bring order to chaos?
In this way, Wang Anshi's reform was chaotic.
Yes, Han Qi and Ouyang Xiu both unanimously opposed the Qingmiao Law.
Zhang Yue believes that the Green Seed Law also has shortcomings, but if it goes too far now, it must be overcorrected, and the mess will be picked up later.
Zhang Yue thought of this and said to Ouyang: "I'm ashamed, I'm afraid I'll let down the high expectations of Mr. Han and my uncle!"
Ouyang Fa said: "Save it..."
At this point, Zhang Yuetu warned: "If an official asks you about the Qingmiao method, you must not talk about how bad this method is. Just say that you have been sick in bed for the past few days and don't know what the situation is."
Ouyang Fa couldn't help but said: "Sanlang, you have become less courageous after being an official for a long time."
Zhang Yue was stunned when he heard this and said nothing.
Ouyang Fa also felt that the tone was a bit harsh, and said: "Whether the Qingmiao Method is good or not, Sanlang will know after visiting the place, but I have been walking along, and it is difficult to call it a good method!"

"My father said that although people in the world know that profit-making from young crops is not the original intention of the government, the interest rate of 20% is too high, but only a few yuan of the principal is required to benefit the people. Now he has made the decision to stop distributing the young crops money when he is in office.
Got it!"
Zhang Yue was shocked when he heard this. What was the result of stopping the money from young people? Several officials lost their jobs because of it. Ouyang Xiu actually took the initiative to go against the imperial decree.
Ouyang Fa said: "My father acted out of sincerity and straightforwardness throughout his life, so he showed no pretense. I know that I am not talented, but I can also learn a few things from him."
Zhang Yue knew Ouyang Xiu's temperament well. As an official, he was as frank as his articles, giving direct advice and never avoiding danger.
"Sanlang... the green seedling method is not good, why don't you speak out?"
Zhang Yue was silent. He couldn't say that although I am now waiting to be promoted, there are still too few things that can really change.
Ouyang Fa knew that Zhang Yue was unwilling to speak out with him, so he was a little disappointed. If Ouyang Fa knew that Zhang Yue drafted the new green seedling law, he would not know how angry he would be.
The two of them were walking and chatting, and while they were talking, they suddenly saw Lu Gongbi, the privy envoy, coming out of the Chongzheng Hall without a turban, and his official hat was nowhere to be found.
As the Prime Minister, Lu Gongbi is so terrifying!
Appearance is the most important thing for an official. It is very rude to walk around without a scarf.
As an envoy to the Privy Council, why did Lu Gongbi act so hastily? Why did he lose his composure?
"Why are you here, Prime Minister?"
An official sighed: "The officials followed the plan of Wang and Han to set up the West Court of Inquisition. Prime Minister Lu was not angry about impeaching Wang Shenzheng. Who knew that the matter was not confidential and did not know who leaked it. Wang Shenzheng first said that Prime Minister Lu was not,
Today, Prime Minister Lu went to the palace to defend himself, so..."
"First it was Lu Zhongcheng, and then it was Prime Minister Lu. Wang Jiefu was really great, but he dismissed two senior officials of the Lu family in a month. Who could have imagined that the Lu family was in such great glory a month ago."
Zhang Yue listened to the conversation between the two officials and knew that Lu Gongbi probably fought hard in the palace today and was dismissed.
Thinking back to the time when Lu Yijian had been prime minister for several decades, he could be said to have disciples and old officials all over the world. After the officials came to the throne, Lu Gongbi was appointed as the privy envoy, and Lu Gongzhu was appointed as the censor Zhongcheng. They were very powerful. As a result, the two brothers were dismissed one after another within a month.
At this moment, everyone's attitude toward the Lu family was as if they had seen him build a tall building, seen him entertaining guests, and seen his building collapse.
Zhang Yue stood aside and watched the white-haired Lu Gongbi slowly walk down the steps. He suddenly remembered the short time when the other party was the third division commander when he was the third division commander and the two of them worked together.
Such a character ended up in this way.
At this time when Lu Gongbi was on his way, many officials left to avoid suspicion, but Zhang Yue and Lu Gongbi still came forward because they were related by marriage and asked: "Is there anything I can do for you, Gong Lu?"
Lu Gongbi's eyes were originally distracted, but when he saw Zhang Yue's eyes focused again, he said: "This is Duzhi! This is Bohe!"
Ouyang Xiu's family was not that close to Lu Gongbi.
But Lu Gongbi grabbed Ouyang Fa's hand and asked, "Has Uncle Yong come to Beijing?"
Ouyang Fa said: "My father has not arrived in Beijing."
Lu Gongbi nodded and said: "It doesn't matter if you don't come, the world's affairs are no longer manageable, and it will be up to you to clean up the mess after they are resolved."
Zhang Yue felt a tightness in his chest when he heard this, but he still couldn't bear to see Lu Gongbi like this.
Zhang Yue asked Ouyang Fa to go ahead, and he supported Lu Gongbi for a while before returning to the main hall.
Zhang Yue and Ouyang Fa entered the palace one after another.
After Ouyang Fa entered the palace and had a cup of tea, Zhang Yue entered the palace.
As soon as Zhang Yue entered the palace, he listened to Wang Anshi's speech to the officials in the palace: "Your Majesty, people like Ouyang Xiu are good at following the popular customs and regard Han Qi as a minister of the country. Such people will harm a county, and in the imperial court
If you harm the imperial court, please let me go!"
As for Ouyang Fa, he was holding a memorial in his hand and knelt down without saying a word.
