Tong Guan came to him not only because of his official status, but he also had a letter of recommendation from Li Xian, which he brought back from the northwest.
In the history of another time and space, Li Xian was dealing with Mu Zheng and Guizhang at this moment, and later he assembled a hundred thousand troops and Zhong E to launch the Battle of Liu Bu Sect.
Now Li Xian had nothing to do, but this time he was once again appointed by the officials to the northwest, in charge of Xihe and Qinfeng roads.
The local civil servants, including the Qinfeng Road Transport Envoy, the Xihe Road Economic Strategy and Comfort Envoy, and the Qinfeng Road Economic Strategy and Appeasement Envoy, looked up to him, let alone the military generals.
As for Wang Zhongzheng, who had been demoted to the northwest before, he also worked for Li Xian.
Therefore, Li Xian is now very powerful. However, Li Xian's future is still much worse than that of his apprentice Tong Guan in the future, not just a lot, but a lot.
When Tong Guan was the most powerful, he was tied with Cai Jing.
After Zhang Yue left Xihe Road, Li Xian was able to follow Xiao Gui and Cao Cao. Moreover, Tong Guan was recommended by an old friend, so it would not look good on Li Xian if he resigned immediately.
Keep him by your side, and if he doesn't recognize you, find an excuse to send him away.
Thinking of this, Zhang Yue said: "Although you are sent by the government and are Li Xian's apprentice, my rules here may not necessarily accommodate you."
Tong Guan lowered his head and said in a low voice: "Since I have entered Xianggong's court, I don't know anyone else. Whatever Xianggong orders, I will definitely do it. If I can't do it, I will be willing to be punished."
Zhang Yue nodded, and Tong Guan seemed to know how to position himself correctly.
He immediately gave Tong Guan a few instructions, and then asked someone to arrange for him to stay overnight.
After Tong Guan came to join him, he was considered to be the first person behind Zhang Yue's family to defect to him. Zhang Yue was very emotional, how could his 'luck' be so good?
Now that Tong Guandu is here, does it mean that so-and-so is not far away...
Thinking of this, Zhang Yue said to Tang Jiu: "If you meet someone who is good at playing Cuju in the future, be more careful. If you can form a good relationship, do so. Don't offend him."
Tang Jiu looked confused after hearing this.
After Tang Jiu walked down the hall, he met Huang Haoyi. Huang Haoyi saw Tang Jiu's confused look and asked, "What did your husband tell you?"
Tang Jiudao: "My husband asked me to pay attention to people who are good at Cuju. What do you mean?"
When Huang Haoyi heard this, he laughed and said: "There are several Cuju clubs in Bianjing city. Isn't it difficult to find someone who is good at Cuju? Could it be that this time I am sent to Liao because the people of Liao also like to play Cuju? I will let you pay attention to this matter.
Then one."
Tang Jiu thanked him after hearing this.
Huang Haoyi paid attention, and the gears of fate began to turn at this moment...
After Tong Guan was detained by the officials, Wang Anshi ordered Cai Bian to come to the house.
Cai Bian was a deep-seated person and rarely expressed his opinions. It was often difficult to guess what he was thinking about in many matters. By the way, in the history of another time and space, brothers Cai Bian and Cai Jing were at odds. It was Cai Bian who knew about Cai Jing's promotion.
After Tong Guan, he scolded his younger brother. Cai Jing felt unhappy and immediately spoke ill of Cai Bian in front of Huizong, which led to Cai Bian's dismissal from office.
I still welcome Cai Bian Zhangyue, and Wang Anshi also likes him very much. He seems steady and reliable to everyone.
Zhang Yue met Cai Bian and learned that the last time Cai Bian sent Xiao Xi out of the country as one of the envoys, he had a glimpse of the reality of the Khitan.
Zhang Yue asked him to talk about the situation of Khitan.
Cai Bian said: "After I was sent to the Liao Kingdom this time, I reported to Your Majesty what I saw and heard. I said that the women of the Liao Kingdom used wood shavings to apply water on their temples and competed to wear burning gold sachets."
"The way of the official family is, if extravagance and promiscuity are like this, how can we survive? In your opinion, is the Liao Kingdom desirable? The lower official said at that time that when a country is about to perish, etiquette must be overturned first. When I was in the Liao Kingdom, one day I saw someone in the wild.
There are several carriages, reeds are planted on the left and right, and a small rope is tied to them."
"However, people from the Liao Dynasty who pass by will pass by, and riders will get off and lead their horses. I asked why this is so? People from the Liao Dynasty said that it is a palace in the Imperial Ancestral Temple. I see that the etiquette and laws of the people above and below are so serious, and orders must be obeyed, so it is not acceptable.
Liao."
Zhang Yue nodded after hearing this. The officials were not afraid even if they said so. He seemed to be afraid of the Liao Kingdom, but he was always weighing the strength of the Liao Kingdom. The palace of the officials was getting deeper and deeper.
However, according to what Cai Bian said, the power of the Liao Kingdom did not show signs of weakening, and it was precisely because of this that the officials restrained themselves from falling out with the Liao Kingdom easily.
Zhang Yue said: "I understand. I am short of officials who are familiar with Liao affairs. This time when dealing with Xiao Xi, I have to rely more on Yuan Du. I feel sorry for you to be appointed as the person in charge of the affairs of the government."
Cai Bian stood up and said, "Thank you so much, Mr. Sir!"
After Cai Bian, Zhang Yue immediately ordered three more people to enter the shogunate.
They are Chen Mu, Xu Xi and Cai Jing respectively.
Chen Mu was the same year as Zhang Yue. He had been sent to Korea as an envoy and was currently the supervisory censor. Zhang Yue appointed him as the Xuanfu judge. Generally, the Xuanfu judge should be a magistrate or above.
Xu Xi took over the post of writing machine and text.
Xu Xi and Cai Jing had no background, and they were promoted by Zhang Yue. In the Song Dynasty, people like Xu Xi, who came from purely shogunate staff, would be gossiped about and laughed at when they entered the official career.
But Xu Xi was not interested in the right path, and only wanted to make achievements. But if he wanted to make achievements, he had to follow a capable person, so following Zhang Yue was the most correct choice.
Cai Jing, on the other hand, was doing official business for the Xuanfu Division, and his official position in the shogunate was above that of Xu Xi, and equal to Cai Bian.
Cai Jing was an old subordinate of Zhang Yue. He had been with him since he was first sentenced to prison, and later he also made suggestions during the campaign against Xihe.
A great traitor like A Jing is capable, he can consider the wishes of his superiors at every turn, and he can get things done in advance without any reminder.
Cai Jingzhang is not only more comfortable to use, but also more and more comfortable to use.
So the first candidate he thought of after the construction was definitely Cai Jing.
Cai Jing followed Zhang Yue to Ping Xihe and became a Jinshi. Later, through Cai Bian, he served as county magistrate in Jiangning Prefecture.
Wang Anshi was very cautious in using his son-in-law Cai Bian. He did not make sudden arrangements for senior officials, and promotions came step by step.
The same is true for Cai Jing.
At that time, Wang Anshi was in Jiangning, and Cai Bian led Cai Jing to meet Wang Anshi.
Wang Anshi had met Cai Jing before, and through Han Jiang, Zhang Yue knew about his abilities and seemed to admire him. However, he didn't know why he had a low opinion of him after meeting Cai Jing this time.
After the meeting, Wang Anshi's evaluation of Cai Jing was, "How can this person become a high official? He just slaughtered everyone".
After Cai Jing learned about Wang Anshi's evaluation of him afterwards, he couldn't help but be disappointed, and gave up the idea of taking shortcuts from Wang Anshi.
Then Cai Jing had been an official in Jiangning. This time, Zhang Yue Jian immediately sent an invitation to Cai Jing behind the scenes. Cai Jing accepted the appointment without any hesitation. This was also the third time that he served as Zhang Yue's staff.
By the way, Zhang Yue originally wanted to let Su Che join the shogunate, but Su Che didn't like Cai Jing and Cai Bian, so he declined.
Cai Jing accepted the appointment from the shogunate, arranged his official affairs that day, and arrived in Bianjing by boat without any delay.
After meeting Cai Jing, Zhang Yue and Cai Jing had a long chat.
Entering the shogunate for the third time was a great honor for Cai Jing.
At this time, Tong Guan had finished the tasks assigned by Zhang Yue and was going in to report.
Zhang Yue glanced at Tong Guan, who was standing, and then at Cai Jing, who was sitting upright, and said with a smile: "Chang Yuan, this is Tong Guan from the palace, Li Xian's apprentice, and he is now walking under my curtain.
You two should get to know each other well!"
Cai Jing heard this and saluted Tong Guan.
Cai Jing saw Tong Guan's appearance. He was tall and handsome, with a pair of bright red and phoenix eyes.
After meeting Cai Jing, he thought that this person would definitely not be a thing in the pond in the future.
Cai Jing was also the one who served dishes to others and was very polite to Tong Guan.
The two sides flattered each other for a few words. Zhang Yue laughed secretly in his heart and said: "You two seem to cherish each other!"
After a pause, Zhang Yue said to Tong Guan: "Chief Yuan has done everything well. Ever since he entered my house, I have been satisfied with everything. Tong Guan, you are new here. Please consult him on everything in the future."
Tong Guan heard that Zhang Yue valued Cai Jing, and immediately knelt down to Cai Jing without saying a word.
Not only Zhang Yue, but also Cai Jing was surprised.
Not only was Tong Guan Li Xian's apprentice, but he was also appointed by the officials, and he didn't even have the slightest air to bow to Cai Jing.
Cai Jing is just Zhang Yue's staff.
"Don't dare to take it, don't take it!" Cai Jing helped Tong Guan up.
But Tong Guan smiled and said, "I don't know why I fell in love with Cai Gong at first sight, as if I had met him somewhere in my previous life."
Tong Guan said this without any hint of flattery, as if his friendship with Cai Jing really came from his mother's womb.
Big traitor!
Zhang Yue scolded him like this from the bottom of his heart. He was originally displeased with the official arrangement of Tong Guan in his shogunate, but Tong Guan was so low-key and petty that he had no excuse to blame him.
Looking at the things Tong Guan has done for himself in the past few days, Zhang Yue used them to test Tong Guan. Some of them were very trivial and complicated, but he did everything well.
Zhang Yue couldn't help but wonder why someone like Tong Guan could succeed?
Could it be because of what he often said about two perseverances and two shamelessness?
Tong Guan could see clearly that this person had a strong purpose in doing things.
Everyone usually hates people with strong goals, so they pay attention to the style of a gentleman and make concessions. In fact, deep down, they want it more than anyone else, but they are too shy to be afraid of being criticized or afraid of failing in competition and dare not try.
And after good things like promotions and salary increases are given to these people with strong goals, wouldn't they still be flattering the leaders if they still mock them?
In fact, in terms of ability, he is not necessarily better than others.
A person with a strong purpose will scare everyone who sees him and will not give up until he achieves his goal. People who are several times more capable than him will lose three points when they see his momentum.
They know what they want. If they want power, I will fight for it wholeheartedly, so I don’t care about other people’s opinions or failure.
To put it bluntly, this is self-honesty!
Self-honesty does not mean that not only do you understand what you want, but more importantly, you understand what you want, so you can selectively give up what you want.
After being fully prepared, Zhang Yue led his entourage and a command of the Forbidden Army cavalry to cross the Yellow River from Baima, intending to go to Xiangzhou to visit Han Qi from here.
This is the place where Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shao and killed Yan Liang. It is also the place where Zhu Wen killed all the noble nobles and threw them into the Yellow River, turning the clear stream into a turbid one.
Just when Zhang Yue arrived in Baima County, he received news that Han Qi in Xiangzhou was seriously ill.
Zhang Yue, who was shocked, looked at the roaring Yellow River and suddenly remembered Du Fu's poem, "Your body and name will be destroyed, but the eternal flow of the river will not be destroyed."
No matter how great your achievements may be, you may have power for a lifetime, but compared to the Yellow River that has been flowing for eternity under your feet, it is only a short moment.
