There was a wine banquet in the Xizhou Jinglue Mansion.
Knowing that Zhang Yue wanted to go to Beijing to meet the Holy Spirit, all the officials in the Jinglue Mansion came to practice.
Cai Yanqing, Zhang Shen, and Zhang Yue were at the head of the queue. Wang Shao, Gao Zunyu, Jing Sili, Wang Junwan, Miao Shuo, Wang Hou, Zhiyuan and others were all around.
As for the Tibetan generals, they were led by Wu Yanzheng (Mu Zheng's younger brother), Bao Shun, and Bao Yue. Most of them had to follow Zhang Yue to the capital to be rewarded by the Holy Spirit.
As for Dong Yu, Jie Wu Chila was also among them.
These two people were originally going to be used by Zhang Yue to borrow a knife from Mu Zheng to kill, but on that day there was a huge fire in Anjiang Village, they were not killed by Mu Zheng, but escaped.
However, due to internal strife, the Song army easily captured Anjiang Village.
As for Dong Yu, Jie Wu Chila was determined to surrender to the Song Dynasty this time. He was one of those people who was so loyal that he could not drive him away no matter how hard he tried. This made Zhang Yue sick.
After a feast.
During the dinner, Zhang Yue brought Jing Sili to Wang Shao and asked him to propose a toast to Wang Shao.
Wang Shao looked respectful when he saw Zhang Yue, but looked a little cold when he saw Jing Sili.
Wang Shao had some issues with Jing Sili, or Wang Shao's temperament made it difficult to live in harmony with his colleagues.
When Wang Shao attacked Hezhou and swept the entire territory, Zhang Yue was stationed in Xiangzi City and Jing Sili was appointed as Wang Shao's deputy general. There was a lot of unpleasantness between the two.
Jing Sili made many military exploits at that time, but Wang Shao favored Wang Junwan. Jing Sili's troops were not as good as Wang Junwan in terms of supplying troops and horses, and the distribution of military exploits. The two argued several times.
Zhang Yue can now suppress the conflict between the two of them when he is in Xihe, but when he leaves, the conflict between Jing Sili and Wang Shao will definitely break out.
Zhang Yue and Jing Sili immediately toasted to Wang Shao.
Wang Shao responded calmly.
Zhang Yue said: "As a commander, you must tolerate your subordinates and work together as one to achieve success. I am going to Beijing now. I hope you two can put aside the past grudges and work together in the same boat."
Wang Shao then said: "Jing Lue Envoy, I have no quarrel with General Jing. On the contrary, I appreciate him very much. Even if there are some disputes, they are only on official matters."
Wang Shao's words were not sincere at all, and Zhang Yue and Jing Sili couldn't tell. After Wang Shao waited for Zhang Yue to leave, he could give Jing Sili a good look.
Jing Sili suppressed his anger, but because of Zhang Yue's face, he reluctantly said: "It is indeed as Deputy Manager Wang said."
What Jing Sili said was so far-fetched that Wang Shao couldn't tell.
Zhang Yue pulled Wang Shao and Jing Sili over with a smile, put their hands together and said, "That's good. You can live in harmony, so I can feel relieved when I go to Bianjing."
Having said this, Zhang Yue called Wang Hou over.
Zhang Yue said to Wang Shao: "This time I will not take your son to the capital to receive the reward. Instead, I will recommend your son to be the Weiwei Si Cheng and know Baohan County."
Wang Shao and Wang Hou were both shocked. They were awarded the capital position in one go?
Wang Hou was originally a military promotion official in Huizhou. According to the Song Dynasty, junior ministerial officials were promoted to Beijing officials. Those with good family background were promoted to Dali Temple Prime Minister, while those without family background were initially appointed as Weiwei Si Cheng.
Wang Hou is the one who selects people. How can he take up the post in the capital without five cuts?
Would Zhang Yue not know this?
Zhang Yue said: "Last time for Xizhou's military exploits, the officials gave me an extra title. This is Wang Hou's protégé. I have no reason not to recommend him to Your Majesty, so I transferred this title to him."
Wang Shao knew about this.
Zhang Yue was favored by officials because of his contribution to Xizhou. His nephew Zhang Zhi was promoted to an official position, and his eldest son Zhang Genyin was promoted to an official position.
Later, the officials felt that there were too few officials, so Wang Anshi and others used the excuse "Zhang Yue is already a senior official and it is difficult to increase his official position."
In the end, Zhang Yue got another Yin Guan spot.
At that time, Wang Shao thought that Zhang Yue would give this quota to his newly born second son.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Yue gave it to Wang Hou.
No matter how humble a Yin official was, he still started out as a Beijing official. Zhang Yue's move was equivalent to saving Wang Hou from five cuts.
This matter is not very conventional, but the officials really have nothing to say to Zhang Yue.
As for Baohan County, it is the county seat of Hezhou.
When officials from the capital come out, they become county magistrates, and when people come out, they become county magistrates.
Wang Shao said to Wang Hou: "Why don't you thank the teacher quickly?"
Zhang Yue smiled at Wang Shao and said, "You are serious."
Zhang Yue said to Wang Hou: "Chu Dao, how about you station yourself in Baicheng as the magistrate of Baohan County and serve as General Jing's deputy?"
When Wang Shao heard this, his face jumped and he said, Zhang Yue played this skill very well.
Zhang Yue was worried that he was at odds with Jing Sili, so he sent his son as Jing Sili's deputy.
If Jing Sili makes mistakes in the future, Wang Hou will also be punished. At the same time, if Jing Sili has made military exploits, his son will also be rewarded.
Of course, if he, as deputy general manager, targets Jing Sili, his son will definitely be put in the shoes of him. This trick...
Wang Shao hadn't even said a word to Zhang Yue yet. Who asked him to give the position of Yin Guan to Wang Hou? Why should he accept his favor?
Wang Shao thought for a moment and already knew Zhang Yue's arrangement.
He is a smart man who knows how to consider issues from the perspective of interests at all times, rather than being disturbed by his own temporary whims and emotions.
Now that the situation was like this, Wang Shao had no choice but to show his sincerity and say to Wang Hou: "General Jing is a famous general in the world. He has great military strategies. Fighting in front of the battle is ten times better than being a father. You need to ask for your help."
After saying this, Wang Shao said to Jing Sili: "The dog is useless. Meng Jinglue will not give up. Let him work beside General Jing. I will receive more guidance from now on."
When Jing Sili heard this, he also clasped his fists and said: "I don't dare to take it seriously. From now on, Deputy Manager Wang will give more orders."
Zhang Yue laughed and said, "Then it's settled and we'll bring the wine."
Zhang Yue personally gave the cup to the two of them to pour wine. Wang Shao and Jing Sili drank one cup at a time, and they looked at each other and smiled.
After solving the problems of Wang Shao and Jing Sili, Zhang Yue felt a little relieved. At this time, a young official came up to him. The other official raised a cup and said, "I have seen Mr. Jing Lue."
Zhang Yue took a look and saw that the other person was a master.
Zhong Shidao was recommended by Zhang Zai to serve as an official under Zhang Yue in Xizhou for two months. However, Zhang Yue was on the front line in Hezhou and he rarely returned to Xizhou, so he did not have long conversations with him.
Seeing the way Master Zhong was about to speak but hesitated, Zhang Yue smiled and said, "If you have anything to say, you might as well say it directly."
Master Zhong said: "Mr. Jinglue, I am a son of the Zhong family. Although I am now a civil official, I still have a martial heart. I also implore Xianggong Jinglue to allow Zhong to go to Hezhou and make some military exploits.
Zhang Yue said: "Uncle Yi, I know you are a member of the Zhong family, but now that you are a scholar, how can you think about making military exploits? I saw your case before in a lawsuit against someone's land, and the case has been pending for two years.
, you actually investigated and found out the truth as soon as you took office, which shows that you have the ability to govern."
Master Zhong said: "Yesterday, I saw Yao Si as a general and was transferred to Jingyuan. Now he is appointed as the governor of the road. I can't help but feel dissatisfied. My Zhong family and the Yao family are both generals in Shaanxi. Yao Si and I have known each other since childhood, but my father
But he refused to let me practice martial arts and wanted me to study literature."
"As Shaanxi is a border state, military officials are more likely to be rewarded for their meritorious services and are more promising than civil servants, so I want to become a military official."
Zhang Yue said: "How could it be such a child's play for you? Today's cultural qualifications and tomorrow's military qualifications make you jump around like this?"
Master Zhong said: "I would also like to ask Mr. Jinglue to make it complete. I know I am a bit late, but these are my words from the bottom of my heart."
Zhang Yue nodded when he saw that the other party was so sincere.
