As soon as Pinghe Huang's plan came out, all the staff couldn't help but get excited and thought about it repeatedly.
Cai Jing thought to himself that the official exchange of letters and documents was the first thing an official did, not to mention communicating with the emperor.
If you think about it carefully, it can be called a lifetime of knowledge.
Mr. Zhang's knowledge is as vast as the sea, and I have benefited a lot from what I have learned in the tent these days.
In fact, Cai Jing also wrote excellent prose and was quite praised among his colleagues. However, after reading this piece of Pinghe Huangce, I can only describe it as admiration.
Not only Cai Jing, Cai Bian and Lu Shengqing also admired him.
Lu Shengqing knew that his brother had always regarded Zhang Yue as his rival in the officialdom, but he was trusted by him. Although he could not say that he was trustworthy, he took everything seriously.
Now that I have seen Zhang Yue's smooth and flexible handling methods, I think that I should advise my brother more in the future and not easily become enemies with him.
As for Cai Bian, while admiring him, he began to speculate on Zhang Yue's calligraphy. He liked writing documents and was extremely accomplished in calligraphy. His calligraphy was superior to that of his brother Cai Jing.
But looking at Zhang Yue's calligraphy, I feel that it would take decades of skill to write such words.
On weekdays, he rarely saw Zhang Yue practicing calligraphy and writing. Many official documents were handwritten by him and his brother, but his calligraphy skills had reached this level.
Cai Bian was also ashamed of himself.
This piece of writing from Pinghe Huangce was immediately sent to the capital.
Everyone thought that once Zha Zi was presented, it would be a sure thing, and the emperor would definitely change his mind.
Zhang Yue smiled and said: "Whether everything succeeds or fails, we have no regrets."
All the staff thought with a sinking heart, who dares to say that it is nine out of ten, even if there is still a one-tenth chance, once someone else is replaced to take charge of the northwest, all the previous achievements will be wasted.
Zhang Yue looked at everyone's expressions and raised his head to greet everyone to have breakfast first. But deep down in his heart, he laughed to himself. As expected, there was no such thing as face.
Zhang Yue opened the door and saw Huang Haoyi, who had been waiting all morning, standing there with a blank look on his face.
Everyone laughed when they saw him.
Huang Haoyi shook his head and immediately ordered people to bring dishes and rice.
As long as he is not in the military camp, Zhang Yue eats with his staff every day, talks about military and political affairs, and sets an example by his own example. The atmosphere at the table can be said to be harmonious.
As a husband and a gentleman, you should practice tranquility to cultivate your character and be frugal to cultivate your virtue.
Zhang Yue highly praised Zhuge Liang's words and used them to warn everyone that although the food in the Jinglue Mansion was not a simple meal, it was not luxurious either.
Zhang Yue himself ate with gusto, but not everyone else did.
Among all the staff, Cai Jing was the most greedy and extremely sophisticated in eating.
When everyone was discussing matters and having a meal, Cai Jingdu only ate some, then returned to his room and turned on the small stove.
After Zhang Yue found out about this, he ordered Cai Jing several times. Why did Yuan Chang eat so much? Did the food in Jinglue Mansion not suit your appetite?
At the banquet, Zhang Yue saw Cai Jing eating little, so he personally added a bowl of rice for him, and then said to Cai Jing with sincerity: "Yuan Chang, be quiet to cultivate your character, and be frugal to cultivate your virtue. Remember, remember."
After Zhang Yue said this, Cai Jing was no longer embarrassed to open a small stove.
From then on, Cai Jing also learned to be frugal in food, clothing, housing and transportation.
Cai Bian saw all this, and he knew that Zhang Yue was really cultivating Cai Jing.
Although he has a father-in-law who is the best in the world in terms of food and clothing, his wife does not do this.
When Wang Anshi married his daughter, Mrs. Wu used a brocade tent, and the reputation of luxury spread throughout Bianjing. Even the emperor heard about it and asked Wang Anshi, "You are from a great Confucian family, how can you use a brocade tent to marry your daughter?"
Wang Anshi was very ashamed after hearing this.
In short, after marrying the prime minister's daughter, Cai Bian and his wife's daily living expenses were luxurious.
Although Cai Bian didn't like food, he was very particular about the use of food.
After Cai Bian arrived at the Zhangyue Shogunate, he saw a patch sewn on Cai Jing's clothes. He couldn't help but be surprised and said: "Brother, what is this?"
Cai Jing sighed and said, "Commander, you don't like our luxury."
When Cai Bian saw that his brother had changed his temper, he was deeply convinced. He also knew that he should be cautious as an official under Zhang Yue.
From then on, the clothes were no longer scented, and the utensils used were no longer particular.
The transformation of the brothers Cai Jing and Cai Bian since they entered the shogunate is very clear.
Zhang Yue also has his own intentions. He believes that with his own actions and his words and deeds, Cai Jing will not be the Cai Jing in history.
When Cai Bian saw Zhang Yue acting like this, he told his father-in-law Wang Anshi everything about Zhang Yue's affairs in his letter home.
During the conversation, he sincerely praised Zhang Yue.
Wang Anshi, who was in Bianjing, knew his son-in-law. He personally selected this son-in-law. Although he was not as satisfactory as Zhang Zhi, he could not choose a few in the Song Dynasty.
Zhang Yue's intention in letting Cai Bian enter the shogunate was to reassure himself and show that he had not hidden anything from you, Wang Anshi.
When Cai Bian talked about Zhang Yue's governance and political style, the other party was not only impressed by his son-in-law, but also Wang Anshi, who believed that his character and talents were first-rate, but his political views were inconsistent with his own.
Wang Anshi said to Lu Huiqing on the side: "Wang Zhongzheng impeached Zhang Yue three times in a row, saying that he was guilty of abandoning his land and fearing war, but judging from Yuan Du's letters, this is not the case."
Lu Huiqing also received a letter from Lu Shengqing and was well aware of the situation in the northwest.
He regarded Zhang Yue as his rival in the official career, but Zhang Yue never regarded him, Lu Huiqing, as an outsider.
As long as Zhang Yue didn't threaten him, he didn't mind selling his personal relationship. Besides, he saw that Wang Anshi also supported Zhang Yue in continuing to serve as Xihe's economic envoy.
Lu Huiqing said: "Mr. Sir, I think this matter is not up to you, but up to your Majesty."
Wang Anshi said: "I didn't agree with Wang Zhongzheng supervising the army in the first place."
Lu Huiqing said: "Now that Wang Zhongzheng and Zhang Duzhi are at odds with each other, it will either be replaced by a free horse or a new manager. At this time, sir, your words can be said to be true to your Majesty's words."
Wang Anshi said: "But what Wang Zhongzheng said this time is very unfavorable to Zhang Duzhi. I think if your Majesty is really angry, the position of Xihe Governor will only be changed. Have you thought of a good candidate?"
Lu Huiqing said: "There are only two people, Shen Xingzong (Shen Qi) or Zhang Zihou."
Shen Qi and Zhang Dun are the two most knowledgeable officials in the royal party.
Wang Anshi nodded and said: "These two are competent, but His Majesty doesn't like Zhang Zihou, and Shen Xingzong's talents are somewhat inferior."
After a pause, Wang Anshi said: "Anyway, Zhang Duzhi is the most competent."
Lu Huiqing nodded, otherwise when the seven prime ministers recommended him, Wang Anshi would not have recommended Zhang Yue as the envoy after Cai Ting had no hope of becoming the envoy.
While they were talking, someone reported: "To inform you, Mr. Xihe Road, the appeasement envoy from Xihe Road has sent me a letter of greetings!"
Wang Anshi was a little surprised when he heard this, and Lu Huiqing was also shocked. You must know that Zhang Yue and Wang Anshi had a falling out at first.
Also, since Zhang Yue became the envoy of Xihe Road, apart from official documents, he has never written a private message to Wang Anshi to greet him.
Lu Huiqing, who has now come to terms with it, thought to herself, "It's so easy to deal with it, you are really capable of bending and stretching!"
