Talk while there is no real conflict between the two.

I would like to take advantage of this moment to seek help from my foreign ministers. The old saying goes that the smell is far away and the smell is near. You should stay far away from the official family. As time goes by, the official family will remember your kindness and call you back to the capital.

With the experience of being a foreigner, I can naturally know how to make imperial edicts.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yue couldn't help but curl up his lips and said: "Your Majesty is now more and more skilled in making decisions about state affairs. He has trusted and virtuous ministers at home, and Wang Anshi, Han Jiang and others are planning things outside. Now I have to go abroad."

After Zhang Yue finished speaking, he saw a look of surprise on the official's face. Wait, didn't the emperor mean to let him serve outside?

The official said: "Qing Zhang, I just sounded a little harsh? So you invited yourself out and left me?"

???

Zhang Yue took a deep breath, what does the official mean?

"Reporting to your Majesty, I have absolutely no intention of doing so."

The official looked at Zhang Yue and said, "Have you ever thought about it, how about I use you as my advisor to make imperial edicts?"

Zhang Yue said in surprise: "I... I don't have the qualifications to be sent to the outside world, so I don't dare to take this position. My teacher is far more qualified than me for this position!"

The official smiled knowingly, he was using Zhang Yue's intention today, but he deliberately didn't tell the truth and went to Zhang Yue to deliberately test him.

I wanted to look around and talk to him first, but finally expressed my intention.

However, he did not expect that the person Zhang Yue wanted to recommend was his teacher Chen Xiang, and he had no intention of taking up the post of Zhizhigao.

"Do you know why I summoned Chen Xiang to see you before?"

Zhang Yue said: "I don't know."

The official said: "I summoned Chen Xiang, but he firmly refused the order to make a imperial edict, but he recommended you to me."

Did the teacher recommend me? Did I recommend the teacher again today?

When Zhang Yue heard what the official said, he was filled with emotions. He really didn't know what to say for a moment.

The official looked at Zhang Yue and said with amusement: "It turns out that your master and apprentice talk exactly the same. He also recommended you to me as a scholar. He said that you were the one he watched all the way to study and become an official.

Of, your..."

The official thought of what Chen Xiang said to himself that day in the palace: "Zhang Yue is a loyal and upright person who can uphold the justice of the world. He also has a rock-like ambition that can cope with the changes of thunder. His appointment as a Zhizhi Gao is indeed commendable. As for the old and pedantic ministers,

It is really of no use to Your Majesty, so please choose someone wiser!"

However, the officials did not tell Zhang Yue Chen Xiang's evaluation of his beloved disciple.

The official said: "...for your appointment, I will change Li Dingzhi's appointment and give you the post of knowing and making the imperial edict. I asked you what you mean and then discuss it with several gentlemen."

Zhang Yue didn't know what to say when he heard this. Although it was the emperor's intention to make the imperial edict for Ren Weizhi, it had not been discussed with Wang Anshi before it became a foregone conclusion.

However, Zhang Yue already deeply felt that his teacher's kindness was as great as a mountain. If he knew how to control the imperial edict but did not dare to refute anything, then why should he do it? If he knew how to control the imperial edict, he would truly control the imperial edict.

The official said: "As for the qualifications for foreign appointments, I can still use Li Ding. Your talent and loyalty are ten times that of his, so why can't you sacrifice someone else for me?"

Zhang Yue understood deeply what Lao Taishan said to him before.

What does it mean that the court decides not to use you? There are a hundred reasons to object, but only one reason is enough to use you.

Although I have no overseas experience, what big deal is it? The emperor can just use you.

Zhang Yue took a deep breath and said: "Your Majesty's kindness in knowing you, I will never be able to repay you in this life. I can only live up to your Majesty's high expectations!"

The official smiled, and then sighed: "But it is difficult to implement the Green Seedling Law now. Some people have advised me to kill one or two of the ministers who dissent. In order to legislate it, I am now in a dilemma!"

Zhang Yue felt the helplessness of the official family, so he also wanted to use this time to dismiss three people and promote Li Ding, who was in favor of Qingmiao, to establish imperial power and show the court's determination to use Qingmiao method.

However, in order to appoint himself as Zhizhi, he now agreed to his request to remove Li Ding as censor.

This kind of kindness and kindness from Chen Xiang will be remembered in Zhang Yue's heart for the rest of his life.

…

A few days later, Sima Guang, the superior of Jingyan, gave a lecture to the officials on the compiled Tongjian.

This time Sima Guang was talking about Jia Shan Shu.

Jia Shan was the censor during the reign of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty. There is a saying that "a minister should rebuke the king directly and not avoid death!"

Sima Guang quoted Jia Shanshu. One meaning is that a real admonisher should be like Jia Shan, who dares to speak out about the king's faults, instead of flattering the emperor all day long and saying that the green seedling method is good and the green seedling method is wonderful.

At the same time, he also insinuated that the current situation of the official family is like the Qin Emperor living in extinction without knowing it.

Sima Guang also pointed out in his subsequent admonishment that the officials employed people who were flattering and flattering, and those who were loyal and upright were sparse. The officials were displeased when they heard this.

After the delay, Zeng Gongliang, Chen Shengzhi, Sima Guang and others left, while the officials, Wang Anshi and Han Jiang, who participated in politics, stayed to talk.

In fact, from Sima Guang's words, how can an official think that "Wang Anshi, Han Jiang, and Lu Huiqing rule the world?" It can be seen that Han Jiang and Wang Anshi are now the real prime ministers, and Zeng Gongliang and Chen Shengzhi are just putting on airs.

Han Jiang, like Chen Shengzhi, was Han Qi's right-hand man. When Han Qi left, he only recommended Han Jiang as his successor.

When Han Qi opposed the Green Crops Law, Han Jiang not only did not oppose the Green Crops Law, but instead supported Wang Anshi at the critical moment.

Wang Anshi and Han Jiang refuted Han Qi's memorial one by one, and then promulgated it to the world. This move was besieged by Taiwan admonishment officials, who believed that this was not the emperor's way of treating old ministers.

In order to support Wang Anshi, Han Jiang not only refused to sell Han Qi's face, but also refused to listen to his younger brother Han Wei. As the only one of the four friends of Jiayou who originally supported Wang Anshi but had not opposed Wang Anshi, Han Wei now also

Come out to oppose the Youth Law.

After Lu Gong dismissed the censor Zhongcheng, Wang Anshi wanted to recommend Han Wei as the censor Zhongcheng, but Han Wei refused, saying that he had disagreements with his brother Han Jiang (Qingmiao Fa), who was the deputy envoy to the privy council and the regulations department.

As the censor Zhongcheng, if I don't tell the truth, the public discussion will be invalidated. If I tell the truth, my brothers will have nothing to do.

It was precisely because of this that Wang Anshi recommended Han Jiang to serve as a political advisor and to govern together with him.

Han Jiang was also a very strong-armed figure. When he was serving as deputy privy envoy, one thing he did was to rectify the Forbidden Army.

As we all know, the imperial guards of the Song Dynasty are now amateurs in foreign wars and experts in civil wars (coercing the emperor to seek rewards).

When Shenzong came to the throne and faced the imperial army to ask for rewards, it was Han Jiang who advocated not paying according to the old rules. Now the officials asked him to reduce the imperial army. Han Jiang reduced the original thirty-nine commanders of Longwei to twenty commanders and Xuanwu twenty.

The number of commanders with 400 troops per command is reduced to 12 commanders with 500 troops per command.

This abolition greatly reduced the problem of empty pay in the Forbidden Army, saved a lot of funds, and relieved the finances of the Song Dynasty that could not make ends meet.

From a historical perspective, we know how difficult it was for Han Jiang to handle this matter. The three major battalions of 200,000 people at the end of the Ming Dynasty were almost useless and had no combat effectiveness at all. Numerous ministers proposed to downsize and reorganize, but without exception

The ground failed.

A censor just mentioned the drawdown of three battalions today, and the next day he was surrounded by two hundred forbidden troops in the street, and his entourage was beaten into pig heads.

The result was that when Li Zicheng entered Beijing, the three major battalions surrendered without firing a single shot.

In order to reduce the imperial army, Han Jiang even fell out with his immediate superiors, Lu Gongbi and Wen Yanbo.

Today the officials came to Wang Anshi and Han Jiang to discuss the matter of setting up the West Court of Inquisitors.

It turns out that the Privy Council was responsible for the promotion of military commanders, but Han Jiang mentioned that this matter should be made independent, just like the Civil Affairs Bureau, Liu Neiquan was specifically responsible for the promotion of civil servants.

Han Jiang suggested this matter to Emperor Renzong when he was in Jiayou for the third year, but in the end the matter was ignored.

It is conceivable that Han Jiang's proposal would be opposed by Privy Councilors Lu Gongbi and Wen Yanbo once it was proposed.

Therefore, Han Jiang and Wang Anshi discussed this matter privately with the officials without even saying hello to them.
