Han Wei returned to the side hall and awarded Zhang Yue the edict signed by the prime minister.
Zhang Yue held the edict and sighed with emotion, now we are both a Hanlin bachelor and a Duanming Palace bachelor.
Han Wei said to Zhang Yue: "Congratulations to Du. Wang Yuyu had been a Hanlin scholar for more than ten years before he was awarded the Duanming Palace bachelor's degree. But you, Du, got it as soon as you first took office. It can be said that you are the emperor's favorite."
Wang Gui was a Hanlin scholar in the first year of Jiayou's reign, and he had long been appointed as a Hanlin scholar.
But when he was appointed as the crown prince, he was asked to write the edict establishing Yingzong. He said that it was a major matter and that he could only write it after asking Emperor Renzong face to face. As a result, Yingzong was jealous.
It was not until the fourth year of Zhiping that Yingzong put aside the matter and awarded Wang Gui a bachelor's degree in the Duanming Palace, thus qualifying him as a quasi-prime minister.
During this period, Wang Gui waited for twelve years.
Zhang Yue said sincerely: "If it weren't for the virtuous Han Wuzhang Kunzhong's cultivation of Zhang, how could Zhang be what he is today?"
Han Weizhizhang was more kind-hearted, but he didn't expect that he would be so kind. He smiled and said: "That's a strong statement. In fact, compared to my brother, I have more political views with Duke Fu Zheng. I often think about Duke Fu Zheng's words now."
, if after Your Majesty ascends the throne, the court does not talk about military affairs for twenty years, and rests and recuperates for twenty years, what will happen to the world now?"
If today's emperor ascends the throne and there is no reform, he will rest and recuperate for twenty years like the two emperors Wen and Jing of Han Dynasty did.
Zhang Yue felt that this was unlikely, but he was not willing to argue, so he said: "Maybe it will be another way."
Han Wei nodded and said: "So... everything has been done, and it won't be the same again, but I know that we can't give up halfway, we must continue from beginning to end."
"Du Zhi's meritorious service in Xihe shows that you are the first-class talent in the court today. Duke Zheng of Fu learned about your achievements in Luoyang and praised him very much, saying that you have both the talent to stabilize the country and the ability to strategize. Now you are again
Bachelor of Jin Duanming Palace, I believe that you will not keep me waiting too long when you rule the world."
Zhang Yue said: "I don't dare to take it. If such a day comes, I will still rely on Wu Zhang!"
Han Wei sighed: "Am I the one who changed my mind? It's not difficult for me to talk to you about everything in the world, but it's the most difficult to reconcile the Taoist heart and the human heart. How can we control the left and the right?
"
Zhang Yue thought for a while and replied: "If you don't ask for permission (eternal) to hold on to the victory, as long as you hold on to the success for a while, you can be Yao and Shun!"
Han Wei was stunned when he heard this, and then laughed and said: "But everyone in the world thinks they are the winner, and they regard others as their left and right."
After saying that, the two of them bowed to each other and left.
Then Han Wei whispered to Zhang Yue: "Be careful of Lu Jifu."
Zhang Yue nodded and then read the official edict written by Han Wei for himself, but he saw these two sentences in the lyrics.
"In the past, Zhuge Liang lived in a thatched hut with a roof that was self-respecting, and then he could use his ears to a great extent."
"As a general, Han Xin advised the king of Han to settle the Three Qin Dynasties and stabilize the world. Although there are dangers, the great plan of the world has been decided."
This is comparing myself to Zhuge Liang and Han Xin.
Hanlin scholars have the right to write "beautiful words" in drafting edicts. They can use the edicts to praise or criticize, and they can even object by means of "forbidden forests and memorials".
Zhang Yue collected the edict and walked down the steps with it.
It was an ordinary afternoon in the imperial city.
Several officials walked quickly to salute Zhang Yue. They didn't know the news yet. In their eyes, Zhang Yue was still the military envoy of Xihe Road and a privy minister.
Of course, this is very remarkable on the outside, but for palace officials who can see the Prime Minister and Hanlin narrating every day, it is really ordinary.
Although it is not a grand ceremony like that of the Prime Minister, as the bachelor of Duanming Palace is the first person below the Prime Minister, it will definitely be very sensational when the news is announced tomorrow.
When Zhang Yue walked down the steps, he felt both excited and calm. He seemed to know that he had passed the college entrance examination and was admitted to a good school, but his classmates and family around him didn't know.
From the sweat-soaked questions and answers between the emperor and his ministers in the palace, every word was carefully designed, to the sensation after the ceremony, when the congratulations to colleagues came in droves, it was beyond the capacity to socialize, and this was the only way for oneself and
Be alone.
The golden sunshine fell on his shoulders. Zhang Yue liked such quiet solitude very much. He walked in his yard and savored these emotions.
‘When the tide rises on the Qiantang River, you will know who I am today’.
Zhang Yue smiled when he thought of this poem, "Whether you are an economic envoy, a bachelor of Hanlin, or a bachelor of Duanming Palace, they are all foreign things given to you. And along the way, I am no longer myself, but I am still me."
Thinking of this, Zhang Yue smiled in relief, and calmly greeted people he knew well all the way, and then walked all the way to the Xihua Gate.
"Master!" Tang Jiu and Zhang Gong saluted beside the carriage.
Zhang Yue said: "Go back home!"
Zhang Yue got on the carriage, put the edict-writing hand aside, patted it with a smile and then turned his eyes toward the window.
The carriage started. Just when Zhang Yue thought that the carriage was going back to the familiar road, when he saw that the carriage turned around and there were unfamiliar scenery nearby, he remembered that he had been granted the throne in the inner city by the emperor.
Waiting next to the important officials of the clan.
Different from the hustle and bustle of the outer city, the inner city is much quieter, but it has its own grace. Pedestrians are well-dressed, and the roads are lined with tall locust trees and sycamore trees.
The carriage arrived at a main street, where they saw two large stone lions standing on one side on the left and one on the right. The three red lacquered mansion doors were tightly closed. There were about ten people sitting on two rows of benches in front of the mansion door.
There were several strong horses tied to the horse-tethering stone at the front steps of the mansion, and two ornately decorated carriages were parked there.
In contrast, the carriage Zhang Yue rode can only be described as a diesel carriage.
If it weren't for the word "Zhangfu" written on the plaque on the front door of the mansion, Zhang Yue would not have even prepared to get off the carriage.
Zhang Yue slowly got off the carriage, and a dozen people on the benches in front of the mansion stood up together, then walked down the steps to greet him.
"master!"
Zhang Yue recognized two or three of these dozen people, all of whom were former servants.
Zhang Yue looked at the wealthy family without saying a word.
Soon a young man came out from the corner door.
"Third uncle!"
Zhang Yue nodded when he saw Zhang Zhi, and then pointed towards the door of the mansion. Zhang Zhi understood what Zhang Yue meant and said, "Yes, third uncle, this is the first title given by the emperor the year before last."
Zhang Yue shook his head and said: "It's too extravagant. I am originally a poor student in Fujian Province, how can I live in such a first-class place? This is not the duty of us scholars."
Everyone laughed when they heard this, and Zhang Zhi smiled and said: "Third uncle, let's go inside and talk slowly."
Zhang Yue entered the door and looked left and right. After walking for a while, he reached the inner house. A female envoy saw him and said hurriedly: "Madam, the master is here."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a beautiful woman coming out to greet him, it was Qi Niang.
The couple hadn't seen each other for two years, and when they met this time they held hands.
Zhang Yue said: "Madam, when I come back this time, I don't even know the way. I feel the same way I did when I first went to your house to meet my father-in-law."
The Seventeenth Niang looked at him with a smile on her face. It turned out that Zhang Yue remembered that although this mansion was a luxury for him, for the Seventeenth Niang, it was just a return to the residence where she lived before she got married.
Therefore, you can say what you said to Zhang Zhi, but you cannot say it to your wife, otherwise you will be angry.
