Zhang Yue knew earlier that Wang Zhongzheng was slandering the emperor. Later, Zhang Zhi asked Shi Deyi to make Wang Zhongzheng restrain himself.
But now Wang Zhongzheng is slandering the Emperor again and again. How can we bear this?
Zhang Yue remembered that a few days ago, he and Feng Jing were waiting for the extension, and the official seemed to be joking: "Zhang Qing, how do you like the new house I gave you?"
Zhang Yue said casually: "I thank your Majesty. The house I lived in is much better than the one I lived in before."
The official continued to smile and said: "I heard that the late emperor praised your integrity. After that, you passed through Xihe and handled tens of millions of money and food, but you did not make any mistakes. I admire you very much."
"But I can't figure out that you are also a third-rank minister after all, but you are still so simple. Is it suspected of trying to gain fame?"
After hearing the emperor's words, Zhang Yue felt that something was pointed out. Feng Jing, who was on the side, came to Zhang Yue's rescue and said: "Your Majesty, when I heard that Zhang Yue had not yet passed the exam, I got engaged to the Wu family. The Wu family knew that Zhang Yue's family was poor, so they gave him a gift.
He was given a place to stay in the mansion. But Zhang Yue said that the delicious food at Huazhai killed his spirits, so he still stayed in the Imperial College prison."
The official was stunned when he heard this and gave him ten pieces of satin.
At this moment, the more Zhang thought about the idea of fishing for fame, he must have been slandering him in front of the officials. That's why the officials asked him in a joking way. This was also a first-class slap.
Thinking of Wang Zhongzheng's repeated slanders against him, Zhang Yueqiang calmed down his anger and thought about how to deal with it.
When Zhang Yue was a lowly official in the past, it was inevitable that colleagues would slander you in front of others.
Zhang Yue understood that this matter was unavoidable. You had dual qualifications and the first rank in your subject. Not only was you young and promoted quickly, you would inevitably be envied by others.
The most indispensable thing in this world is people who hate others.
Comparing his feelings with his own, Zhang Yue felt that one day he was not as good as you in official position, but now he was in charge of you, and he was not convinced at the bottom of his heart. You even had to bow your head to him. The feeling was simply unspeakably uncomfortable.
Thinking of this, Zhang Yue was able to adjust after Lu Huiqing became the official above him.
It is understandable that Zhang Yue treats people who slander him. At this time, it is not the best way to clarify and fall out. As the saying goes, a gentleman observes people's faults and does not expose them to the public; he is aware of people's deceit and does not express anger.
Zhang Yue maintains a harmonious relationship with them on the surface, but from now on, you will never hear a useful word from me. This means staying the same on the surface but keeping a respectful distance in your heart.
But at the end of the day, there is no conflict of interest between us. Let’s chat a few gossips and try not to break our faces. When we meet in the mountains and rivers one day, we might just laugh it off.
In fact, Zhang Yueguan rose through the ranks very quickly. Those who had a quarrel with him at the time were now smiling when they saw him. They were afraid that they would still remember the bad things they had said behind their backs and worry about retaliating against them.
For example, yesterday, when Deng Wan learned that he had entered the Zhizhi Bachelor's College, he personally visited his home to give him gifts and apologized profusely for what had happened in the past.
But Wang Zhongzheng is different...
A few days later, the imperial court made some personnel arrangements. Zeng resigned from the post of the Third Secretary, and Yuan Jiang succeeded him, Zhang Dun, and Deng Wan went straight to the Academy.
Then came the Southern Suburbs Ceremony. Han Jiang was the Southern Suburbs Ceremony Envoy, Zhang Yue was the Ceremony Envoy, Yuan Jiang was the Lu Book Envoy, Deng Wan was the Ceremony Envoy, and Sun Yong of Quanzhi Kaifeng Prefecture was the Bridge Road Envoy.
King Qi is the Yaxian, and King Jia is the Zhongxian.
Han Jiang was the great envoy of the southern suburbs in name only, and Zhang Yuelai arranged all the specific matters.
Zhang Yue participated in the southern suburbs ceremony when he was in Taichang Liyuan, and now he has become the ceremonial director. He asked Sun Gu, Han Zhen and Yang Hui, who also knew Taichang Liyuan, to work with him on etiquette matters.
The official family also sent people to check from time to time. Now everyone in the Ministry of Internal Affairs knew that it was Zhang Maoze, but Zhang Maoze was old and could not do it himself.
Therefore, the ceremonial matters in the southern suburbs were inspected by the deputy, the deputy governor of the Interior Ministry, Wang Zhongzheng.
Wang Zhongzheng is now the leader of one person in the inner court and is superior to ten thousand people, and his arrogance is very arrogant.
One day, Wang Zhongzheng took advantage of Zhang Yue's absence to come to inspect the arrangements for the ceremony. He criticized many things. Most people dared to get angry but did not dare to say anything. Only Han Zhen argued with him.
Afterwards, when Zhang Yue arrived at the scene, Han Zhen told him that Wang Zhongzheng was looking for trouble, and she wanted to see how Zhang Yue would react. Zhang Yue just said plainly that he understood, and there was no trace of anger on his face.
After Zhang Yue left, Han Zhen said to Sun Gu who was standing aside: "As if you are an official, the bolder you are, the less courage you have. In the past, when you were a humble official, you would dare to beat Han Zhi, but now..."
Sun Gu said: "It was inevitable to be angry when I was young, but now that Duan Ming has won the trust of officials, it is no longer the same as before. Otherwise, you and I were above him in the past, and now we have to listen to his arrangements. In other words, if you hadn't been
If you kill a commander with a hammer, I'm afraid you will be your husband today."
Han Zhen said: "If a person does not have a good temperament, he will not be happy even if he becomes a husband."
Sun Gu smiled and said nothing.
The day before arriving in the southern suburbs, the emperor rode in his royal chariot to the place where the grand ceremony was to be held, while the prime minister and all his officials, all dressed in formal attire, stood outside the royal gate to wait.
The imperial driver stopped when he left the palace gate. The Emperor, King Qi, and King Jia stepped down from the imperial chariot. The officials spoke a few words to Han Jiang.
The ceremony in the southern suburbs was particularly grand. In addition to the prime minister and hundreds of officials, there were tens of thousands of imperial troops guarding the road and cavalry clearing the way. Although it was not yet the time to officially hold the ceremony, everyone was ready.
The officials, Han Zhen, and the other prime ministers said a few words, and then boarded the carriage with King Qi and King Jia. As for Wang Zhongzheng, he also boarded the carriage holding a magical weapon and served the emperor personally.
At this moment, the etiquette envoy Zhang Yue, who was standing next to Han Jiang, suddenly stepped out and shouted angrily at Wang Zhongzheng, who was boarding the car with his back: "Bold Wang Zhongzheng, who are you, do you dare to ride with the emperor?"
Now under the attention of hundreds of officials, there are guards on the left and right, and in the distance there are countless people of Kaifeng Prefecture watching the excitement.
Wang Zhongzheng was scolded by Zhang Yue in full view of the public. His body was hanging beside the car and he was unable to move forward or retreat at this moment.
Wang Zhongzheng knew that Zhang Yue's revenge was coming, but he didn't expect it to be so violent. This was a deliberate humiliation to him in front of everyone, even the emperor!
Wang Zhongzheng argued: "Zhang Duanming, my family serves His Majesty, why can't we get on the train? Please make the decision for me, Your Majesty!"
The officials who suddenly witnessed all this were a little overwhelmed, but Zhang Yue said: "Your Majesty, when Zhao Tan and Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty rode together, Yuan An reprimanded him, although there are few people in the Han Dynasty today, how can your Majesty fight with the sword alone?"
Yu Gongzhu. This matter is recorded in Sima Qian's "Book of Reporting to Ren An". When Tongzi participated in the ride, Yuan Si's color changed."
"Now, who is this Wang Zhongzheng? How dare he ride with His Majesty, King Qi, and King Jia? Therefore, I order Wang Zhongzheng to get off the bus as soon as possible!"
After hearing this allusion quoted by Zhang Yue, the official said to Wang Zhongzheng: "Qing Zhang is the envoy of etiquette, so just listen to him!"
Hearing what the official said, Wang Zhongzheng glanced at Zhang Yue with a look of hatred. But Wang Zhongzheng was unwilling to plead with the emperor. He knew that if he lost this time, he would be stepped on by Zhang Yue, and his face would be gone.
.
The officials thought that Wang Zhongzheng was also an important minister and had always been loyal to them, so it was not easy for him to refute his face in person. But who knew that Zhang Yue stepped forward, grabbed Wang Zhongzheng's sleeves with both hands, and forced himself on him in front of everyone?
Drag him off the chariot.
Then Han Jiang and other officials watched the scene where "the king stretched out his hands and watched the imperial chariot gallop away".
