"I heard that in recent years, there are many machine owners in Suzhou, Hangzhou, each of which has hired dozens of machine users, or even more than a hundred. This year, I heard that there is a large company in Yangzhou that has hundreds of machine users, which is amazing."

"It can be seen that the local government has a very good atmosphere. Unfortunately, what Su saw everywhere, today's gentleman did not hesitate to kill people in order to reduce the number of milling and milling in half a year."

Zhang Yue pondered when he heard this, laughed and said, "Is the 'gent' that Zizhan said is Lu Jifu?"

Su Shi smiled and said, "Lu Jifu is so happy that he can be happy; if he is angry, he will turn his eyes and eat each other."

Zhang Yue laughed when he heard this. As Lu Huiqing's Jinshi, his brothers, had been very accurate in their comments for many years.

It’s great to you when it’s good, and it’s extremely bad to you when it’s bad.

"But Zihou is different." When Su Shi said this, Zhang Yue's expression calmed down.

"Zihou still talks about some reason. When he was in power, he often spoke for those who opposed the new law. Today's new party cannot be generalized. There are treacherous officials like Cai Jizheng and Lu Jifu, but there are also Zhang Zihou. Duke Wei, he will take care of his life in the future. Can you show mercy to Zihou?"

Zhang Yue looked at Su Shi in a daze.

Before he could tell me what to do, Su Shi pleaded for Zhang Dun. Su Shi and Su Che from another time and space were displaced after the Wutai poetry case and were summoned by Sima Guang to Su Shi to the capital.

Sima Guang also planned to use the fame and influence of his brothers to inspire Shilin to oppose the new law together.

In history, Su Zhe was responsible for submitting memorials and criticizing people and politics, Su Shi was responsible for writing memorials, and the two brothers divided the work and cooperated, causing the new laws to be abolished one by one.

Even Zhang Dun, Su Shi and Su Zhe did not care about the relationship between him and his other party in the Wutai poetry case in history.

Now Su Shi actually told himself that the new laws cannot be abolished and the new party cannot be eliminated, and he also took the initiative to speak for Zhang Dun, which was really something that Zhang Yue did not expect.

It’s not Su Shi’s change, it’s history.

Their resentment in this life is not that great. This is not exactly what they intend. The seeds planted back then will bear fruit today.

But Zhang Yue has not changed. He will take charge of the government in the future. No matter whether the new or old party is recognized, he can only stay.

Zhang Yue said: "There are Sima Junshi and Lu Huishu among the old party, so we can't generalize. Besides, I heard that in the hall before, Zhang Zihou opposed Sima Junshi's recommendation of Zizhan's brothers to return to the court."

Su Shi knew that Zhang Yue did not agree.

Su Shi said worriedly: "The former emperor ruled the world for twenty years and used all his power and skills. After the poetry case, I was discouraged from the so-called career of officialdom."

"But this time I really want to do my best for the world. How can Mr. Zhang, who was entrusted by His Majesty, see the court falling apart?"

Zhang Yue smiled and said, "Is Zizhan going to reconcile the struggle between the old and new parties? You and Uncle Xing have a discussion together."

Su Shi said: "Xing Heshu is a profit-seeking person."

"But I think that if a party struggle arises, once the new law is abolished and the new party is escaping, it will be invincible."

Zhang Yue was happy to hear this. Sima Guang used the Su brothers this time and wanted to use Su Shi's hands to attack the new party, but Su Shi had already been on the same side as him.

Zhang Yue said: "Zizhan drinks tea! I wonder what Ziyu's argument is?"

...

A few days later, Su Che also returned to the court and was received by Empress Dowager Gao and was awarded the position of Secretariat.

On that day, Su Shi and his brother went to Zhang Mansion to pay homage.

This time, I visited the capital, not the first visit of Lu Gongzhu and Sima Guang, who recommended them, but first went to Zhang Mansion. On the day Su Che arrived in Beijing, he lingered in his brother's mansion for a night. The brothers talked for a long time until the end of the leak.

At that time, among the twenty-one people Sima Guang and Lu Gongzhu were selected, except for Kunzhong of Su family, Sun Jue and several others had already submitted a letter to Zhangfu. When Su Shi brothers saw Sun Juezheng resigning from Zhangfu, they looked at each other and smiled. It turned out that this eldest disciple of Chen Xiang, the new Minister of Personnel, had also come here to "recognize the school".

Zhang Yue specially arranged for Sun Jue to meet Er Su to "accidentally", which made the profound meaning of the words self-evident.

During the Yuanyou period in history, Su Shi, Su Zhe, and Sun Jue belonged to the Shu Party and had differences with the Shu Party (Liu Zhi), Luo Party (Cheng Yi).

Su Shi decided to retain the law of exemption from service in history, and Sun Jue advocated the law of Qingmiao. Although the Shu Party's proposition was against the new law, its political views were relatively lenient and opposed Sima Guang's one-size-fits-all proposal.

The opinions of the old party were also diverse.

Now the new party is gradually split as the situation progresses. The old party originally opposed the new party and moved from split to one another.

Now that the new party is in decline, the old party is quite in a comeback, but it is a mess.

How to blend together in the future?

In the mist of tea, Su Shi first stated his views and said, "I always thought that the government of Renzong was the slaughter and the government of the late emperor was the slaughter."

"If there is a method to make loyal and honest but not humble, and to work hard without being impartial, then you will be good."

Su Che said: "Duke Wei, I think he should measure the benefits and use the director's strengths."

Zhang Yue nodded.

Su Zhe said: "My brother has a political opinion and my husband, but there is one thing that Cai Chizheng must not keep."

Zhang Yue smiled and thought to himself that the two brothers were like strong wine and the other was like sweet tea.

Su Shi still said generously: "Let's see if the envoy of another mountain monument will resign from his minister?"

Su Che said, "Why do you need to sit and wait? The dust does not go by itself, and the broom will be clear; things do not automatically, but humans will succeed."

Zhang Yueran was very happy that Su Che's political insights were indeed better than Su Shi.

If you wait for Cai Queci, you will never wait for it. That is wishful thinking. Whoever will automatically give up power can only do it yourself.

Su Che further analyzed: "As Duke Wei was ordered by the late emperor, it was the general trend. At this moment, he should act vigorously and eliminate the Cai party to establish his authority and the government, which also made Chen Heshu angry!"

Zhang Yue knew that this was inevitable, but he did not want to leave his ruthless and unyielding means to the Su Shi brothers.

So he pretended to be hesitant and said, "The official wrote the three words "Zhao Zhang Yue" on Yudai, which was exactly what he said to the Empress Dowager."

Su Che said anxiously: "This is the last order of the late emperor, not what Cai Jizheng has to do. He just answered truthfully, otherwise wouldn't he be deceiving the world or the late emperor?"

"Duke Wei, Cai Chizheng is the most cunning person. I don't know how many people have been in his hands over the years? Did Duke Wei forget what happened to Lu Jifu back then?"

Zhang Yue's face twitched when he heard this. When Lu Huiqing pretended to show goodwill to him, he later burned the Three Sessions, causing him and Su Che to leave Beijing in a mess.

It is truly a lesson from the past.

You cannot keep any feelings for your political enemies.

Zhang Yue's expression suddenly changed, and he finally decided: "Okay!"

Su Che was overjoyed when he heard this.

"But..." Zhang Yue again solemnly reminded: "But this dynasty's politics does not rely on means to establish authority. After all, Zheng Zheng is the prime minister. The prime minister has his own dignity and must not be killed."

Su Zhe said: "Please rest assured about this matter."

"Wei Gongren. He has been in the wild for many years and has prepared Qi and Cai's crimes. Since Meng Jun's instructions, he should consider the application."

This statement is both obvious and precise. Zhang Yue heard it and realized that Su Che could be of great use and would definitely be his own arm in the future.

Su Shi sighed: "Duke Wei, Cai Chizheng, and Lu Jifu, others should make good use of it."

...

In fact, in addition to the Su brothers and Sun Jue, Cheng Yi and Cheng Hao also went to and from Zhang Mansion many times.

Cheng Yi and Cheng Hao's political views are different from Su Shi.

The Yuanyou Party struggle in history was criticized by the Shu Party, which completely inherited Sima Guang because of Su Shi's Shu Party, his political proposition of independence and opposing the political views of completely denying the new law.

At the same time, Su Shi was also a person appreciated by Empress Dowager Gao, so he had to prevent the other party from becoming a minister.

Here I have to talk about Su Shi's character.

Su Shi was not very popular among the new party or the old party because he dared to tell the truth in political views and dared to refute face-to-face. However, he never retaliated against individuals, especially those who had framed him in the past. Whether it was the new party or the old party, except for Lu Huiqing, Su Shi almost never targeted individuals.

In other words, Su Shi is the kind of gentleman who is really right to things and not people. He quarreled with you on the stage and laughed at you off the stage.

At the same time, I take my own advances and retreats, honors and disgraces, gains and losses indifferently.

And Cheng Yi’s Luo Party is different.

Cheng Yi's Luo Party is actually somewhat similar to Wang Anshi's new Party. Both are in charge of political reform, but Wang Anshi emphasizes "law" and Cheng Yi emphasizes "people".

Zhang Yue agrees with Cheng Yi's method. To cure the method, one must first cure people.

To create a method, you must first start with creating a scholar.

What Cheng Yi disliked the most was that after Wang Anshi's reform, he increased the use of those who catered to his political views and derogated all those who opposed his political views. The officials of the new party were indeed of different quality, such as Deng Wan and Wu Juhou, who could use them. The officials who implemented the local governments all took favor to the top, which also ruined the reputation of many new laws. This was where Wang Anshi failed to observe.

When Wang Anshi realized this, it was a bit too late to start cultivating talents from the Imperial Academy and use the classics to create scholars.

As for Shuodang, they are all Sima Guang's iron rods, one more than the other.

Zhang Yue did not intend to contact him.

After the Five Dynasties, the era of Emperor Taizong of Song Dynasty specializing in scholars and scholars has arrived, which has also established a political pattern for more than a thousand years since then.

At the same time, the self-conscious spirit of scholars to "take the world as their responsibility" also emerged.

This is most obvious in Su Shi, Zhang Zai and Cheng Yi.

The whole world is not theirs, but they regard themselves as masters.

From Ouyang Xiu's gentleman having party, to the scholar-in-law in the Imperial Academy.

After Cheng Hao arrived at the door, Cheng Hao asked Zhang Yue first: "Duke Wei Duke knew that the Empress Dowager sent someone to Uncle Lu Hui and Lu Weizhong asked about the advice?"

Zhang Yue said: "I haven't known it."

Cheng Hao said: "Sima Jun once spoke to me, and the Empress Dowager privately summoned the question to "What is the priority for Chang Zhang?"
