Prime Minister

Chapter 759

Chapter 759

Within Zhangfu, Cao Yi arrived here.

Cao Yi can also be regarded as among the relatives, Zhang Yue is one of the few who have been in contact with each other.Cao Yi is different from Gao Zunyu, this person is very measured in what he says and does, and knows his position.

Cao Yu said to Zhang Yue: "Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager has admired you for a long time, I don't know why Duzhi resigned as a bachelor? Did you disappoint the two empress dowagers and the officials?"

Zhang Yue said: "Zhang's knowledge, ability, qualifications and age are not enough, how dare he be ranked with other bachelors."

Cao Yu said: "Duzhi doesn't regard me as one of his own when he says this."

Zhang Yue smiled apologetically.

Cao Yu said: "Wang Xianggong is dedicated to the country and the world, for the sake of the country, but he is self-willed and does not listen to others. He is now in the aspect, just catering to the official's wishes."

"Actually, in my opinion, one is urgent and the other is slow. The world should change, but it should not be changed drastically. Only those short-sighted people, happy and happy, like to make big moves. In fact, there are too many people who suffer. If the ruler of a big country Cook some fresh food."

Governing a big country is like cooking small fish.

After hearing this, Zhang Yue seemed to be quite touched by Cao Yi.Zhang Yuedao: "Uncle Guo's words are deeply in my heart. The most important thing for politicians is to proceed step by step. They should make continuous efforts and make achievements for a long time. They must not be rushed, but..."

Cao Yi couldn't help clapping his legs and applauding Zhang Yue's first half sentence, but Ting Ran frowned.

Zhang Yue suddenly changed the topic: "However... overcorrection, this word seems to be too much correction, but in fact it is not. , so I wrote a series of articles to rectify the past. If the rectifier is not correct, it cannot be straight!"

What Zhang Yue meant was that Dong Zhongshu was right when he said in Chunqiu Fanlu's original intention that overcorrection must be overcorrected.

But people after Dong Zhongshu often think that overcorrection is wrong.

Cao Yu smiled slightly after hearing this, and said what Du said was very true.

After Cao Yi finished speaking, he never talked about political affairs again.

After Cao Yi left, Zhang Zhi asked, "Third Uncle, since you resigned as a bachelor, what is the purpose of Cao Guojiu visiting here twice?"

Zhang Yue said to Zhang Zhizhi: "Uncle Cao Guo actually intends to test whether Han Zihua and I intend to replace Wang Jiefu?"

Zhang Zhi suddenly said: "So that's the case."

Zhang Yuedao: "Now that the officials are in power, this reform has already begun, so there will be no turning back for a while, and the new law will be interrupted after Fan Wenzheng's resignation in Qingli year."

"Empress Wang Xianggong most likely still wants a prime minister who advocates reform. If Lu Huiqing, Zeng Bu may not agree. Therefore, between Wang Xianggong and Han Xianggong, Han Xianggong and I, who are relatively more moderate in political views, are more appreciated by the two empress dowagers. .”

Zhang Zhi suddenly said: "Uncle Guo came here today to convey the meaning of the two empress dowagers. In fact, there have been rumors in the palace that the third uncle is deeply appreciated by the two empress dowagers."

Zhang Yue nodded and said, "Actually, Bachelor Sima in Luoyang has already seen this."

Zhang Zhi was overjoyed by Sima Guang, the empress dowagers of the two palaces appreciated Zhang Yue so much, let alone the emperor's appreciation.

Zhang Zhi asked: "Then third uncle agreed to Uncle Guo?"

Zhang Yue laughed and said, "Axi, can you get it if you ask for it?"

Zhang Zhi asked again: "Then the third uncle refused?"

Zhang Yue shook his head and said, "Not yet."

That's what Zhang Yue just said in answering Cao Bi with overkill.

Many of Wang Anshi's reforms were quite radical, but the problem is that overcorrection must be overcorrected.

Zhang Zhi said: "Third Uncle, with the current situation in the country, we must apply a few strong medicines, and then we can use mild medicine to make up for it. But strong medicine will definitely hurt the body. Does the Third Uncle mean that although Wang Jiefu does not agree with Wang Jiefu's method of reform, but He must do this matter?"

Zhang Yue said happily: "Zizheng has seen things much better than before."

Zhang Zhixin said: "Scholar Sima, Uncle Cao Guo supports Han Xianggong, and he may not have the intention of fighting Wang Anshi in his heart. If Han Xianggong and third uncle can replace Wang Xianggong, your political views are more gentle than Wang Xianggong. On the premise that the emperor is determined to reform the law, it is barely acceptable."

"Or that would be a lose-lose situation."

Zhang Zhi vaguely heard that Han Jiang had the idea of ​​coming forward to clean up the mess after Wang Anshi couldn't stand it.

Zhang Zhi can't help guessing Zhang Yue's thoughts, he neither accepts Cao Yi's solicitation, but also does not refuse, what is his intention.

On the next day, Cao Yu actually came to visit Zhang Yue again.

This time, the two talked for a long time.

Zhang Zhi was waiting outside. At this time, Cai Que and Huang Lu came to Zhang's mansion together.

When Cai Que learned that Cao You came to visit, he smiled.

Huang Lu said: "I heard that the empress dowagers of the two palaces are against the reform, and the officials seem to be wavering about the reform now."

Cai Que said: "Yes, there is another matter that was discussed in the court yesterday. The officials mentioned the matter of exempting the fifth-class households in Zhejiang from the helper money."

Huang Lu said: "I remember that when Han Xianggong was in Xuanfu Shaanxi, he was at odds with Wang Xianggong because of the exemption of the helper money for fourth and fifth households."

Cai Que said, "What An Zhong said is true."

"If Mr. Han can recover, he can be replaced!"

Everyone thought to themselves, Wang Anshi gave up Zhang Yue's official position as an economic envoy in order to let Wang Shao take the position. Although he gave compensation for the position of Hanlin Bachelor, is this what Zhang Yue wanted at the beginning?

At this time, if Zhang Yue helped Han Jiang stab Wang Anshi, it would be of great benefit to his own future, and he could also vent his hatred, so the pleasure of revenge would be refreshing.

"How does he think?"

Zhang Zhi said: "Third Uncle didn't say anything. But he still spoke good words about the reform in front of Uncle Cao Guo yesterday."

Cai Que waved his hand and said, "Speaking good things at this time may not necessarily be an objection. We need to plan well!"

Zhang Zhi looked at Cai Que and thought to himself, since Zhang Yue resigned from the Imperial Academy that day, Cai Que got angry and stopped coming.

However, after Tang Zhe impeached Wang Anshi, Cai Que came to the door again, and asked Zhang Zhi on the sidelines, wondering whether Tang Zhe's impeachment of Wang Anshi was Han Jiang, and Wen Yanbo was instigated by Zhang Yue and the others.

At this time, someone reported: "Wang Fu sent someone to come to ask the master to come!"

Cai Que, Zhang Zhi, and Huang Lu all looked at each other.

The other party said: "The visitor didn't even drink tea after sitting down. He kept urging me to see the master. He seemed very anxious."

Huang Lu said: "What do you see, don't blast out!"

Cai Que stopped him and said, "Blast it out? That's the doorman of the Prime Minister's Mansion."

Zhang Zhi thought to himself that it was up to Zhang Yue to make a decision on this matter, how could Huang Lu and Cai Que make a claim?

Zhang Zhi said: "I'll ask Uncle San what he means."

After talking about Zhang Zhi, he went inside, and after a while, Zhang Zhi went out to face Cai Que, and Huang Lu said, "Third Uncle said that he would not go to see him, but he said that yesterday he was unable to walk because of his foot disease, so he couldn't come to visit!"

Huang Lu clapped his hands and said, "That's exactly what it should be. I'm going back now."

"Wait!" Cai Que said.

Huang Lu was dissatisfied and said, "What can you say if you are upright?"

Cai Que walked up to his servants and said, "You leave this man and starve him deliberately, and arrange for him to leave the mansion when Uncle Guo goes out! Let them meet one place!"
