The way of governing the country, which has not yet been saved, makes the officials think about Zhang Yue's advice in their hearts.
If it is not done, it should be because Zhang Yue is not optimistic about Wang Anshi's reform, but since it is not done, there are other gains, but it is also a gain, and it has been working hard for several years, so why not let Wang Anshi work for a while?
The official thought for a moment and said, "I understand. I will take a walk and see how things develop. I will not make a decision unless it is absolutely necessary."
Zhang Yue breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Your Majesty is wise."
Another reform in history by Shenzong and Wang Anshi, although it has the name of amassing money, at least Shenzong and Wang Anshi did not use the money collected from the people for their own enjoyment.
Therefore, although the reform has various problems, their original intention is to collect wealth from the people and then uniformly distribute it through the government, that is, to take it from the people and use it for the people.
But when it came to Huizong and Cai Jingna, they also had the same method of reform. But these two people took it from the people, but did not use it for the people. Needless to say, Huizong of the Song Dynasty lived a luxurious life, such as Genyue and Huashigang, who provided for themselves
Enjoyment, as for Cai Jing himself, in addition to making money for Song Huizong, his own life was also extravagant.
The purpose of the reform was originally good, but in the end they only saw the reform as a means to make money.
This is also the so-called sage who first thought of himself as a beast but later thought of him as a beast. Huizong Cai Jing violated the original intention of the reform and suffered bad consequences in the end.
After Zhang Yue achieved his goal by advising the officials, the officials temporarily put aside a major concern.
The official said to Zhang Yue: "It has been six years since I took the throne, and it has been more than four years since the reform. I have been walking on thin ice in these years, and it has been difficult. Zhang Qing may think that I have wavered repeatedly, but how can the world's affairs be so different?
The two general principles have caused the ministers to argue endlessly and cannot reach an agreement. It is also difficult for me from time to time."
Zhang Yue was deeply convinced when he heard this.
What officials say has always been unavoidable in all dynasties. Why do people often come to two completely different views on the same thing?
This is also a struggle between left and right that can never be escaped in politics.
Zhang Yue said: "Your Majesty, I believe that the two meanings have been different since ancient times. One lies in human feelings and the other lies in heavenly principles. When Yao passed down Shun and Shun passed down Dayu, it was the four characters of 'Yunzhi Juezhong', which have been passed down by sages from ancient to modern times."
The law that governs the world forever."
"At the original banquet, Lu Huiqing and Sima Guang discussed the reform. At that time, I said what the real phase wheel was. One was to observe the phase wheel from a distance, and the other was to touch the phase wheel at close range. The reform method is the law of heaven, and it is to look at the phase wheel.
But the unchangeable method is human feelings and touching the fortune wheel."
"If the natural law is greater than human feelings, the burden will be heavy and the journey will be far away. If the human feelings are greater than the natural laws, the effort will be in vain. Your Majesty must not only believe in one's faith, but also be open-minded, but also listen to both. Only in this way can you be able to accept and hold the balance between the natural laws and human feelings."
Zhang Yue said that no matter which faction he belongs to, politicians should listen to each other's opinions more, and at the same time, they must have a sense of caution and adjust steps according to changes in the situation.
After listening to Zhang Yue's words, the officials still sighed: "The Taoist heart is weak, the human heart is dangerous, and the essence is only one. It is so difficult to allow and hold back!"
Zhang Yue said: "Your Majesty said the word "jing" is like polishing grain. If you have a pestle and mortar in your hand, you can grind it finer. If you don't have a pestle and mortar in your hand, you can grind it coarser. This is the meaning of "weijing."
"On the contrary, if it is eaten by humans, it should be polished more finely. If it is eaten by pigs, it should be polished rougher. This is the only meaning."
After hearing this, the officials couldn't help but smile and said: "Zhang Qing's words are not rude, but I have gained something. It would be better for Zhang Qing to accompany me when he returns to Beijing this time."
Zhang Yue knew that Guan Jia was asking him what he planned to do next.
Zhang Yue thought to himself that the trip to the northwest was not finished yet, and he was afraid that someone else would take over and screw it up.
But when the emperor asks you this, Zhang Yue cannot say that I want to go to the northwest. I need to finish the matter first.
God's will is unpredictable. After all, Zhang Yue and the officials hadn't seen each other for more than two years, and they couldn't speak freely.
Besides, when the emperor called him back to the capital, was he worried about his own self-respect in supporting troops in the northwest? Once he said that he wanted to return to the northwest, would it deepen the emperor's suspicion and scruples?
Zhang Yue simply said: "I have been favored by Your Majesty and recommended to you. I will go wherever Your Majesty tells me to go."
The official laughed and said: "You are still the Zhang Qing I am familiar with. I remember that you were unwilling to leave the capital at first, but Wang Qing must send you to the local area to practice. I thought that the prime minister started from the state, so I simply decided
Let you go."
"Now it seems that you are really a good person. You have been tempered in the local area. Your achievements in the local area are far better than those of other officials who have been close to the people for decades. I think that since you have returned to the court, you should not leave for the time being!"
Zhang Yue was complaining in his heart, but on the surface, he heard the official saying, "The prime minister starts from the state department", which is quite meaningful.
Zhang Yue thought of the officials' worries about Wang Anshi's reform just now. Did the officials transfer him back to Beijing to take over the reform?
Thinking of what Sima Guang said in Luoyang, maybe he also noticed something?
However, Zhang Yue had no time to think too much, he kept everything he wanted to say in his heart, and he was still grateful on his face.
The official's interest was very high: "I haven't seen Zhang Qing for a long time. I'm here to have a banquet."
Zhang Yue did not expect that the emperor would go through the process of giving a banquet.
At the banquet, the official family continued to ask Zhang Yue: "How are you getting along with the regiment training envoy in the northwest?"
The team training officer is Gao Zunyu.
Zhang Yue said cautiously: "Your Majesty, Gao Tuan is good at training troops and has always been cautious. This is where I am not as good as him."
Hearing this, the official smiled and said: "I won't hear a word of disapproval from others from your mouth, but it's okay, Tuan Lianzhi, I also know that for the sake of the Queen Mother, sometimes I can't say anything, but Zhang Qing
I know all your grievances."
"Yes, Queen Mother Gao has always said that you are a good minister of the country. You will return home soon and you will be rewarded."
Zhang Yue thanked him again and the official nodded.
After drinking for three rounds, the official suddenly sighed: "Zhang Qing, you were too cautious after your trip to Beijing and your return to the court. It seems that it will be difficult for you to speak your true feelings to me in the future."
Zhang Yue was stunned, he also underestimated the official family. As the emperor, the official family shines light on everything. Sometimes, whether you talk to him from the bottom of his heart, his heart is also clear.
Those who have been in power for a long time have such amazing intuitions.
Zhang Yue said: "Your Majesty's authority is becoming more and more powerful now, and I am no longer the humble minister I used to be. I worry too much now, and I have to think twice before I say anything. Sometimes I don't dare to speak out and remonstrate with you like before. I hope your majesty will understand."
The official nodded after hearing this and said, "This is what you really mean."
After a pause, the official smiled and said: "This idea is not like yours. After he became the storyteller for Chongzheng Hall, he often spoke ill of you. He often said some taboo words, which made me unable to get down. However, Mr. Wang did not speak ill of him either.
What, that’s surprising.”
Zhang Yue thought to himself, Zhang Zhi, because you are a child and your official position is low, so of course you speak without any scruples.
But having Zhang Zhi by the emperor's side was able to speak for him, which also gave his Zhang family someone who could talk to the emperor at any time.
After the banquet, the officials rewarded Zhang Yue many times and ordered a carriage in the palace to personally take Zhang Yue back to his home.
Thinking of his wife and children whom he had not seen for several years, Zhang Yue already missed him very much.
