Su Che said to Zhang Yue: "My brother and I are currently annotating the meaning of the scriptures. I have made an agreement with my brother that he will annotate the Book of Changes, Shangshu, and the Analects of Confucius, while I will annotate the Book of Songs, Spring and Autumn Annals, and The Analects of Confucius.

Mencius"."

Zhang Yue laughed and said: "Zizhan also annotated Mencius! Why do you annotate the meaning of the scriptures?"

Su Zhe said: "After the new meaning of the Three Classics, scholars all over the world were induced to use this book as their knowledge for the sake of fame. This goes against the teachings of the sages and distorts the original meaning of the classics."

Zhang Yue knows in his heart that you two brothers are here for Wang Anshi and Lu Huiqing.

Zhang Yue said: "Wang Jiefu and Lu Jifu have already resigned and returned home, so let's forget it!"

Su Zhe said sternly: "Reporting to your Majesty, the classics and its meaning are the foundation of the world. How can we forget about twisting and twisting the meaning of righteousness and ruining people's hearts? We two brothers do not know what we are capable of, but we still have to give it a try."

Zhang Yue said: "In that case, I won't force it."

"Okay, let me introduce two people to you!"

"You have no fault to travel less! Come and see Ziyou!"

Soon two young men wearing wide robes and long sleeves stepped out and saluted Su Che.

Su Zhe was surprised and happy to see the two of them. He knew that they were two talented men recommended by his brother to Zhang Yue. One was Qin Guan and the other was Chao Buzhi.

He had met Qin Guan before, but this was his first time meeting Chao Buzhi.

Zhang Yue also looked at the scene in front of him with a smile.

Qin Guan became Zhang Yue's successor last year, and this year Su Shi recommended Chao Buzhi to Zhang Yue.

In addition to Huang Tingjian and Zhang Lei who are already officials, Qin Guan, Chao Buzhi and Chen Guan among the four scholars of the Su family formed Zhang Yue's "Secretariat". They actually served as staff members. Of course, their external identity was Yuan Yuan.

Follow.

According to the official system of the Song Dynasty, the number of Yuan Sui who participated in political affairs could be fifty.

The Yuan Sui people are different from the Shu people. Only officials who serve as prime ministers, governors, envoys, and governors or above can be called Yuan Sui, and the rest are all called Shu Cong.

For example, when Chen Shengzhi recruited Zhang Yue to teach his children to study, he probably acted as a subordinate. If Chen Shengzhi was in power at the time, Zhang Yue might have considered it carefully.

It was probably Su Qin and others who said, "My family has two hectares of Guo Tian, ​​​​how can I wear the seal of the Six Kingdoms?"

Of course, both Yuansui and Mengcong could take the imperial examination, and as retainers, they could take part in the easy-to-answer Kao examination or other examinations.

However, as a Yuan Sui or a Concubine, by referring to the imperial examination and receiving a ranking or an official appointment, it is equivalent to being bound to the official he originally served for life, forming a first-class personal attachment.

There is almost no room for betrayal, this is a closer relationship of the first order.

Some ambitious scholars are actually unwilling to do it. Only those who come from poor families or from low-level official families are willing to try it. However, many people still cannot resist the temptation of the shortcut to Zhongnan.

Especially Prime Minister Yuan Sui.

In other words, Zhang Yue could recruit Li Kui as a servant in the past, but he could never recruit talents like Qin Guan and Chao Buzhi, but now he can.

Yuan Sui's treatment was much higher than that of Su Cong. In addition to meal money, Yuan Sui also gave him food and clothing, while Sui never gave him.

Yuan Sui's meal allowance for participating in politics was ten thousand yuan a month, in addition to silk, cloth, cotton clothing, and a monthly salary of two stones.

In addition, food and accommodation are required, all of which are paid for by the court.

The meal money of ten guan is only ten guan, and the monthly salary of the judge in Dali Temple is only ten guan. The salary of a Yuan Sui is comparable to that of a Beijing official.

Of course, many people would not look at it even if it was ten thousand dollars. The most important thing for them was to be able to do things beside the prime minister and take a shortcut to the south.

By the way, although Li Kui failed in the imperial examination, he entered Taixue and is now a middle school student.

Let's talk about Zhang Yue. Chen Guan wrote to Wang Anshi, "Mencius also speaks of benefit," which was recognized by the other party. This made Zhang Yue greatly appreciate Chen Guan.

It also made Zhang Yue pay more attention to Chen Guan, and specially sent Qin Guan and Chao Buzhi to assist him and expand the core staff team.

Specializes in studying how to deal with the new party and the old party (perfunctory).

It's not that Zhang Yue has any negative views on the New Party and the Old Party. Many officials from both the New Party and the Old Party, including Wang Anshi and Sima Guang, want to do a good job in the country.

There is nothing wrong with their intentions.

But when two parties argue and form a partisanship, it turns from selflessness to selfishness. There is still a long, long way to go to eliminate this partisanship.

After Su Che, Qin Guan, and Chao Buzhi sat down, Zhang Yue also talked about annotating the Doctrine of the Mean.

Su Zhe spoke eloquently: "My brother and I believe that the rule of the three kings Yao and Shun must be based on human feelings. If you don't make innovations, you will be superior. If you don't go against people's feelings, you will be praised for your actions."

Wang Anshi always thought that Su Shi and Su Che had a wide range of knowledge, but there was nothing consistent in their political commentaries.

But now I hear from Su Shi that Su Che's theory and Ouyang Xiu actually share a lot of inheritance, that is human feelings. Human feelings are the development of human nature, with feelings such as joy, anger, sorrow, and joy.

This is different from the human nature that Wang Anshi admires.

Is the sincerity of the mean true to human feelings or true to human nature? Su Shi, Su Che and Wang Anshi have different views.

Zhang Yue thought of this and said to Su Zhe: "I have already reported to the Son of Heaven, set up a Bureau of Classics and Meanings, and explained Mencius and Doctrine of the Mean. How about a helper about the origin of the Son?"

Su Che thought carefully and said, "Let me discuss this with my brother."

Zhang Yue smiled and stroked Su Che's shoulder and said, "No need to discuss, it's settled."

Su Zhe said: "I am loved by my husband, so it is better to be respectful than obey orders."

The reason why Zhang Yue wanted Su Che to join the Jingyi Bureau was that he was indeed talented and could help him promote his ideas. Secondly, he wanted to accumulate some merit and prepare for Su Shi's future pursuit.
