On the same day, Yang Sheng held a banquet in the palace for all the officials. All the prominent people in the imperial city were present. No matter what you are pretending to be, you must give Yang Sheng the face, otherwise the consequences will be unpredictable.
Zhang Yan also attended the banquet, and was arranged by the emperor to sit next to his right hand, which directly broke the seating habit of the right side of the text. As a result, Zhang Zeyu, the Chinese Prime Minister of the DPRK, sat below Zhang Yan.
.
The Nanyuan Kingdom, like most human nations, implements a two-track system of civil and military affairs, and the civil and military branches still manage their own affairs.
The first military official position is called Wu Xiang, and the first civilian official position is Wen Xiang.
In a country like Nanyuan Kingdom where there are endless border wars all year round and powerful enemies are eyeing them, the status of the military prime minister is higher than that of the literary prime minister. Therefore, the military prime minister usually sits on the left hand side of the emperor during major ceremonies. The literary prime minister is on the left side of the emperor.
He lives on the emperor's right hand side.
But now the situation is a little interesting. The person sitting first on Yang Sheng's right hand is not Zhang Zeyu, the literary minister, but Zhang Yan, a new face.
What does this mean? Is the emperor happy today, so he made a temporary arrangement to hold Zhang Yan in his arms? Or is there another reason?
Anyway, the ministers sitting in the front row had the same guess in their hearts.
"Dear sirs, let me introduce to you. This is Zhang Yan, Mr. Zhang, a master of miscellaneous studies. At the same time, Mr. Zhang is also a rare craftsman in the world. It is a great blessing for Nanyuan Kingdom and me to have Mr. Zhang's help.
What a great honor! Everyone, please raise your glasses and join me in toasting to Sir!"
Yang Sheng's words were sent out by his vitality, and everyone in the hall could hear them. While everyone was shocked, they quickly filled the wine glasses in front of them, then raised their glasses and stood up.
Everyone had smiles on their faces and toasted with the emperor. This scene was rare. Generally, military generals would receive this kind of treatment when they returned to the court after a victory. What's more, Zhang Yan was not even an official. If you look deeper, he was.
He was a criminal soldier, but now he was treated with such courtesy by the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty. At this time, even the slowest people began to ponder the emperor's deep meaning.
In fact, the emperor treated Zhang Yan so courteously. On the one hand, he was indeed thanking Zhang Yan for playing a vital role in today's three competitions. Without Zhang Yan, let alone three competitions, he would not have won any of them today. On the other hand, Zhang Yan would not have won any of them, let alone three competitions.
On the one hand, Yang Sheng also realized that Zhang Yan's value was much greater than he had previously expected through the means shown by Zhang Yan in these three competitions. Give him enough courtesy and form a good relationship first, and later on he will
This leaves an opening for further wooing. At the very least, this will give them an advantage over other forces that covet Zhang Yan.
These are of course the most superficial meanings.
What's more, Yang Sheng did not mention the words "Jiang Wu Yuan" in his introduction to Zhang Yan on such a formal occasion, even though "Jiang Wu Yuan" is still one of Zhang Yan's most important identities. It can't be
If you forgot temporarily, you must have done it on purpose. Yang Sheng even mentioned Zhang Yan's identity as "a scholar of miscellaneous studies," which is even more meaningful.
The people on the military side smiled naturally. Yang Rongqing, the military prime minister, was also from the royal family. In terms of seniority, he was still Yang Sheng’s clan uncle. Naturally, he stood firmly on Yang Sheng’s side. In addition, the military and military departments had always had many contacts with Zhang Yan.
, Ever since the experience at Yubei Mountain Fortress, Zhang Yan has had a lot of relationships with the military and is close to them.
Many military generals have heard of Zhang Yan's name for a long time. Whether it is a bone-strengthening pill or a magical weapon, it is enough to make them eager to get close to Zhang Yan. Naturally, they will not care how highly the emperor praises Zhang Yan.
.
The faces of many people on the Wenxiang side are not so good. Ninety-nine percent of them were born in the mainstream schools, and more than half of them are active in affairs within the school themselves. In addition to academic discussions, the school now
, it is also a very important gathering circle for civil servants in their career. The relationships within it are so intricate that in many cases it can even be called a comprehensive force belonging to the civil service group.
The word "miscellaneous studies" in Zhang Yan's identity is the most sensitive. I pinched my nose before and was led by the situation to allow the miscellaneous studies academy to appear in Beijiang County. This was an unprecedented and huge concession. I thought that with these concessions,
The royal family that suppressed this incident and favored the miscellaneous scholar lineage should be able to calm down.
But who could have imagined how long it would take this time? The emperor would actually honor Zhang Yan as a "scholar of the lineage of miscellaneous studies" in public on this very formal occasion, where he held a banquet for all his ministers.
What is this for?! What kind of message is this sending to the following?
A banquet with different thoughts unfolded in a noisy and joyful atmosphere. Zhang Yan was thoughtful about the emperor's attitude tonight, but he was not surprised.
Holding the power of the Nanyuan Kingdom, it is also a country surrounded by monsters, superior countries, and feuds. It has an extremely poor geographical location and a changeable external situation. The emperor of such a country cannot be a faint king, a mediocre person, or an inflexible person.
.Because if there is any flaw in any aspect, this country may be annexed or directly divided. In that case, there will be no such thing as the royal family of Nanyuan Kingdom.
Therefore, for the emperor, he can use whoever is useful. There is no principle. In the past, miscellaneous studies were useful, but they had a feud with the mainstream school and were strongly resisted. After the emperor weighed it, he found that the gain was not worth the loss. Therefore, he secretly gave some to miscellaneous students.
There's room to breathe out, but it won't blatantly help.
Later, Zhang Yan, a wonder in miscellaneous studies, was born, and the Beijiang County Miscellaneous Studies Academy was established.
In Zhang Yan's view, the reason why the emperor once again promoted Zaxue at this banquet was because his value soared, allowing the emperor to give Zaxue some reputation on the side, and the purpose was to continue to show his favor through this.
But Zhang Yan's simple view will not be recognized by many senior officials in Nanyuan Kingdom.
In the view of Literary Minister Zhang Zeyu, this was not just a lineage of miscellaneous scholars promoted by the emperor to show his favor to Zhang Yan. Perhaps before this competition, the emperor was simply showing his favor to Zhang Yan. But now, the emperor's thoughts are obvious
Not only did it fall on Zhang Yan, but there was another plan.
Yang Rongqing, the prime minister of the armed forces who is also the prime minister, said to his close associates: "It seems that this time His Majesty is ready to take seriously those people in the mainstream school of thought who are eating the inside and outside. When facing Huayue, those people will
It seems that his rickets have become unbearable for His Majesty.
It was okay before, there was no replacement, and their school was tightly united, so it was difficult for His Majesty to touch them. Now Zhang Yan comes forward and rushes all the way with the miscellany lineage. Hey, it depends on how those people in the mainstream school resist it. If so
If they still insist on it, Your Majesty may not give them much more time.
By the way, there was a report recently in Xiyuan County that some people from the Miscellaneous School took the initiative to send two improved types of ordnance to the village, and the results were pretty good. They also expressed their willingness to stay and continue to improve the various existing ordnance. No.
Needless to say, these people who are miscellaneous scholars are just in the right position, and they are pushing people from the mainstream school of thought to the bottom of the cliff!"
