Chapter 1057: By the Fisherman's River (two updates in one)(2/2)
Huang Haoyi nodded.
Although Zhang Yue was complaining, a copy of all the major and minor secrets of the Zhongshu and the important government affairs of the imperial court was copied to Zhang Yue. This means that although Zhang Yue is not involved in Zhongshu's decision-making, he still has knowledge of the major and minor affairs of the imperial court.
right.
At the same time, I also used the method of reading the copy to test whether my mind has changed.
Zhang Yue said: "Don't look at these, just go back intact."
Huang Haoyi said yes, and then saw Zhang Yue going to the wall to carry a fish basket.
Huang Haoyi was also convinced. Zhang Yue was now complaining that he was at home, but he was not doing his job properly. He had become addicted to fishing at some point.
After saying this, Zhang Yue took the fish basket to the back door and got into the carriage with Peng Jingyi, and then drove all the way out of the bustling Bianjing city, and finally arrived at a river pond on the outskirts of Bianjing.
The weather is pretty good today.
When they reached the end of the field, the carriage stopped. Peng Jingyi carried two buckets of fish food, while Zhang Yue, wearing a bamboo hat and carrying a fish basket, found a place to sit down.
There were several fishermen sitting nearby who were fishing. When they saw Zhang Yue arriving, they all laughed and said, "Is Zhang Yue here to feed the fish again today?"
Zhang Yue couldn't help but blush when he said this.
Zhang Yue ignored these people from the mountains and pointed to a certain place in the river pond and said to Peng Jingyi: "Make a nest here!"
After listening to the instructions, Peng Jingyi opened the wooden bucket, took a wooden spoon to dig out the bait, and poured it into the river one spoon at a time.
Seeing so much fish food thrown into the river, a fisherman laughed and said: "If the pile continues like this, the water downstream will rise three feet high!"
Hearing this, the fishermen on the side laughed again.
Zhang Yue smiled when he heard this and said: "Several old people often say that if you don't build a nest when fishing, you won't catch much. In the past, I couldn't catch fish because I didn't build a good enough nest or enough fish, rather than because I didn't have good fishing skills. Today
Please wait and see, some elderly people."
As soon as he finished speaking, Peng Jingyi brought two more buckets of fish food from the carriage, and the fishermen stopped laughing immediately.
"That's not how you feed fish. It's not for meritorious deeds!"
Cai Que drove over and saw Zhang Yue wearing thick clothes and covering his face with a bamboo hat while fishing.
Cai Que smiled when he saw this. The world knows that Zhang Yue is now complaining about illness, but in the end he found me fishing by the river pond, and he is not afraid that I will sue the emperor.
Cai Que walked to Zhang Yue's side. Peng Jingyi heard this and said in a low voice: "Mr. Cai Zhizao is here."
Zhang Yue woke up and saw Cai Que, but he didn't show much panic. Instead, he immediately got up and pulled Cai Que aside and said to Cai Que: "I found this fishing place with great difficulty. Don't tell me my details."
Leak it out."
Cai Que looked at the fishermen who were fishing and couldn't help but sneered: "It's just a few fishermen, what do they mean?"
Immediately, the two of them walked to the gap aside. Seeing Zhang Yue leaving, the fishermen on the side joked: "Why doesn't Zhang Yue stop fishing? Don't he feed the fish dinner?"
Hearing this, Cai Que glanced at Zhang Yue's empty fish basket, and the sneer on his face became even stronger.
Zhang Yue responded with a smile: "If you don't rush, the future will be long."
Cai Que couldn't help laughing and said: "Jiang Taigong uses a straight hook to fish, and those who wish to take the bait will take the bait, but you are addicted to making nests. What kind of fun are you doing!"
Zhang Yue also laughed at himself: "When people reach this age, they realize that fishing has great fun. Don't laugh at me. Why are you here?"
Cai Quedao: "You sound old-fashioned, but I do have something important to tell you..."
Cai Que immediately told the case of Wu Anshi, Wen Jifu and Chen Anmin.
Zhang Yue looked solemn when he heard this and said: "Since the Imperial City Secretary found out the news, His Majesty asked you to handle it?"
Cai Quedao: "That's true, but I can also cover it up for you."
Zhang Yue said: "If you want to cover it up, you won't come looking for me today."
Cai Que smiled and said: "Sanlang, after living at this age, I have understood one thing. Best friends do not come from long-term development, but from meeting each other on their respective paths."
"If you are willing to return to the DPRK, you don't need to ask me to press the case for you. But if you don't agree, then there is nothing I can do. Don't blame me if you want."
Zhang Yue said: "Then you also know why I don't want to return to the court. I am what I am today because of the grace of the Wu family. If anything happens to the Wu family, I will never stand by and watch!"
Cai Que sighed and said: "There is no best of both worlds. How to deal with it depends on how Sanlang handles it. I will report this case to the emperor in the future and transfer it from Kaifeng Mansion to Yushitai."
"Hopefully things can turn around before this happens!"
The cold wind blew by the river. Zhang Yue looked at Cai Queyue at the edge of the withered yellow reeds and said: "Yes, if the case is completed, you will be the censor Zhongcheng, and even ascend the throne as the prime minister. Is this Xianggong Cai?"
Cai Quedao: "I don't mean that. If you want to keep anyone, no one will let you go. But if you want to leave, even the emperor won't be able to keep you."
"But Sanlang, why do you have to fight with His Majesty? Whatever His Majesty wants, you can do it according to his will. You said before that the attack on Xia can only be 60% at most, but you know the soldiers. With your help, there will always be 70%.
Bar!"
"Even if there are only 30% and tens of thousands of people have died, what's the point of regretting your position in relation to me today? Since ancient times, one general has achieved great success and tens of thousands of bones have been withered!"
…
Zhang Yue and Cai Que spoke so loudly that the fisherman on the side looked over.
A fisherman shouted at the top of his lungs: "Except you two, what are you arguing about? Is it about fishing? The fish have all been scared away by you!"
Zhang Yue and Cai Quezheng were so angry at each other that they both laughed when they heard this.
When Cai Que heard this, he cupped his hands with a smile on his face and said, "Old man, it's my fault!"
The fisherman waved his hand after hearing this.
Zhang Yue said to Cai Que: "Brother, what are tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands of people? Do you know that they are not numbers, but all living beings in the world, or they are the fisherman who just talked to you and me."
Cai Que said disapprovingly: "So what? Can hundreds of thousands of people conquer the Xia Kingdom without dying? What is the plot between your majesty and us?"
Zhang Yue said: "Your rhetoric is very similar to that of Lu Huiqing."
"Lu Huiqing?" Cai Que said with a sneer, "Is this person going to be Ding You soon?"
"Ding You?"
Cai Que nodded and said: "After all, I always get news faster than you at Yushitai. Just a few days ago, His Majesty appointed Lu Huiqing as the commander of the Yanyan Road. For this purpose, he was the main general in the attack on Xia.
Now that he's gone, I don't know who to entrust him to?"
Cai Que paused and said: "Sanlang, please remember that you are the first choice in the emperor's heart to conquer Xia, but it doesn't have to be you. If I have the talent for strategy, this matter will definitely not be your turn."
After a pause, Cai Que said: "In the final analysis, you still cherish your reputation, so it's okay to talk about benefiting the people and servants. It's just like Mencius' theory of benevolence and righteousness. You see the far side but don't see the near side."
"Is this really what you can't do after becoming prime minister? You said that the Wu family has been very kind to you, but you can't avoid your position. Is this how you repay it? After all, you still cherish your reputation too much."
Zhang Yue listened to Cai Que's words and said: "Senior brother, I won't argue with you, but I thank you for coming here to persuade me. In the future, whether you and I are on the same journey or not, with your heartfelt words today
, I will never blame you!"
Cai Que heard this and said: "If you are so stubborn, then let you go!"
After speaking, Cai Que walked away with a puff of his sleeves. Zhang Yue moved his lips slightly and let Cai Que leave.
Zhang Yue walked to the river and continued to pick up the fishing rod. Several fishermen on the side had a good harvest today. One of them smiled and said: "Thanks to Zhang Yue for making a nest outside, our trip today was not in vain!"
Zhang Yue smiled bitterly upon hearing this.
Another comforted him: "Since we are all friends, there is nothing we can't reconcile. It seems that we had a quarrel, so we made an appointment to have a bowl of fresh fish soup, and we put aside all our grievances."
"Yes, we have been friends for decades! Let's treat you and your friends to a bowl of fish soup before we leave!"
Zhang Yue shook his head and said, "Brother Cai and I are not in the same boat."
Ps: The jokes about fishing and making nests are taken from the Internet and will make everyone laugh.
