Chapter 1258 Arrangement

Zhang Yue sat on the top chair, feeling particularly comfortable.

The monarch and his ministers have communicated with each other for many years without any hindrance, which can be said to be a heart-to-heart relationship.

Zhang Yue said: "Your Majesty, we are dealing with the Liao Kingdom at the moment, but we cannot relax on the party affairs. Shen Kuo has already mentioned that he is going to advance the construction of Mingsha City."

“I think it’s feasible!”

After hearing what Zhang Yue said, the official said, "I think it's okay, and I'd like to discuss it with you."

When it comes to destroying Dangxiang, the monarch and his ministers are very much on the same page.

This is how people interact with each other. We must always find areas of common interest for both parties.

Zhang Yue said: "Your Majesty, Shen Kuo has a great talent, you can use it freely."

The official said: "I know Shen Kuo is talented, but his conduct is not good."

Zhang Yue said: "Your Majesty, I don't like Shen Kuo either. But I have been an official for many years and I have quite a lot of experience in employing people."

"In terms of merit, officials with a Jinshi background are often better than those who have a good knowledge of foreign affairs, and officials who are knowledgeable about foreign affairs are better than officials with a Jinshi background who only know classics, meanings, poems and poems."

"But when it comes to the way of being an official, there are not as many officials who are knowledgeable about foreign affairs as there are officials from Jinshi background, and officials from Jinshi background are not as good as those from Yinguan. It depends on what your Majesty chooses to do."

After hearing this, the official thought for a moment and said: "The officials who can understand foreign affairs today must be Shen Kuo and Su Song!"

Zhang Yue said: "It is what your Majesty said, and there is also this minister."

As Zhang Yue spoke, he mentioned Song Yongchen who was escorting him into the palace.

The official looked at Song Yongchen and was surprised. Song Yongchen took the lead in the big project of guiding Luo to Tongbian.

This time the restructuring required the reconstruction of the East and West Prefectures, and Song Yongchen took the lead in the Shangshu Province. In the eyes of the officials, Song Yongchen was indeed extremely talented in water conservancy construction.

Song Yongchen was also stunned when he heard Zhang Yue suddenly praising him.

Just like officials who are proficient in technology and move into administrative leadership positions, they often have problems of one kind or another. Shen Kuo is an obvious example.

However, if we can use it, we still need to use more officials like this.

There are two types of management: horizontal management and vertical management.

Vertical management means that as a manager, you seize resources. If you want to move up, you have to pass a compliance test or contribute something in exchange for resources.

A layman's leadership and an expert's approach all come from the perspective of vertical management, and pay attention to the obedience of superiors and subordinates, no matter how the people below you behave. I seize resources from the upstream, supplemented by rewards and punishments, and the people below must be obedient.

For example, eunuchs supervise the army, and civil servants lead the troops.

There is also a kind of horizontal management.

The manager himself is a master of technology, and the people below will respect you because your technology is awesome. Especially the kind of founding emperor of all dynasties who conquered the world on horseback.

The generals below all know that they can be rewarded for their true abilities. In this way, there will be very little internal friction and wrangling in the team.

Management and being managed are inherently unequal, but when everyone discusses technology together, they can achieve an equal relationship.

The vassal town is definitely better than the general manager's office, and the Jiedu envoy is stronger than the economic envoy! But the loyalty is the other way around.

Therefore, it is recommended to use experts to lead experts as much as possible, so that the team will be optimal. If it is not possible, layman leaders should have some understanding.

After hearing this, the officials understood what Zhang Yue meant.

He was born in a poor family and was good at meritorious deeds. They were the officials he liked to use the most in the heart of a promising emperor.

Although Shen Kuo has problems with his ethics and small details, doesn't this make it more obvious that the other party serves the emperor with sincerity? On the contrary, those officials who are well versed in the ways of the world and are well versed in the ways of being an official can provide him with great emotional value. , but that’s how it works.

The official said: "Sun Gu can no longer be in the Privy Council, but his sudden withdrawal from negotiations will also make the Liao Kingdom suspicious."

"I plan to let you take over Sun Gu's place in charge of the affairs of the Privy Council. In addition, I plan to ask Mr. Lu to return to the capital and serve as deputy envoy to the Privy Council. After a while, I will take over the affairs of the East Palace."

Lu Gongzhu was previously impeached for shielding Chen Shiru and his wife in the case of Chen Zhizhong's son, Chen Shiru, but now he has been found out.

This is the reason on the surface. In fact, he opposed Zhang Yue and left the capital on the basis of the policy of war and defense with Dang Xiang.

Sun Gu left, and Lu Gongzhu came back again. The official family did not stop, and they kept trying to stir up trouble with themselves.

Zhang Yue thought to himself, Lu Gong wrote it for his in-laws, wouldn't it be like Wang Anshi and Wuchong's childhood stories in the future, causing the in-laws to turn against each other?

The official asked Zhang Yue: "How is Ah Xi doing in the mansion recently?"

Zhang Yue was stunned. This was the first time since Mingsha City that an official asked him about Zhang Zhi's situation.

Zhang Yue said: "Reporting to your majesty, during the battle of Mingsha City, my nephew fell from the top of the city and almost lost his life. Although he escaped from the siege later, he was unable to get out of bed for more than a year, and now he can barely walk."

In fact, Zhang Zhi has almost recovered now, but Zhang Yue has never had the intention to recommend him.

The official nodded and said: "Tell Axi that I will not forget him and will use him again in the future."

Zhang Yue knew full well that when Zhang Zhi killed Wang Zhongzheng, the officials had always remembered it in their hearts. Therefore, he had wisely never mentioned a word in front of the officials over the years.

Could it be that he is planning to use Zhang Zhi in the future and use it after he becomes an official?

Just give yourself some peace of mind in the future.

…

After the monarch and his ministers met, Zhang Yue slowly walked out of the hall, accompanied by Song Yongchen.

This encounter between the king and his ministers no longer needs any more external etiquette.

After Zhang Yue left the palace, his mood was ups and downs for some unknown reason.

It's not because of his return to the throne, but because of the emperor's high regard for Zhang Zhi in his words today and his appreciation for Zhang Dun in the past.

This made Zhang Yue feel a little strange and his mood was ups and downs.

I have a question, should I move to a higher platform if I am in the system?

He saw an answer, it’s okay to lie down, people will step on others wherever you go. When you reach a higher position, people above you will still step on you. But after lying down, you can shift the focus of your life to your family, hobbies and interests Nothing is impossible.

However, if conditions permit, we should try our best to walk higher, otherwise the pain will become more severe as we age.

When you're young, it's great to lie flat on your back, but when you get older, you'll feel even more uncomfortable when you see people who are younger than you or have more seniority than you sit in a higher position than you.

Especially when these are the people you had issues with in the past, even close friends, and the same goes for your descendants.

Even as the prime minister, Zhang Yue felt this way. Zhang Yue is still in the prime minister's position now, but the 'Houlang' has already arrived.

This is how the world is, you succeed, but others will also succeed one day.

In the final analysis, if a person is obsessed with official career, he will eventually be hurt by official career.

…

Zhang Yue walked a few steps and saw Cai Jing waiting in the palace. Upon seeing Zhang Yue's arrival, he quickly stepped forward and said, "Congratulations, Prime Minister, for holding the throne again."

Although he knew that Cai Jing was also a wave of backlash, Zhang Yue still thought to himself, what does it mean to be considerate? After he returned to the court, the first person to come to congratulate him was Cai Jing.

Zhang Yue said: "Yuan Chang is interested."

Cai Jingdao: "Prime Minister, Liu Bo has been demoted to Lingnan. The lower official spied on him. In the third year of Yuanfeng, this man had a meeting with the Prime Minister, but the Prime Minister did not respond, so he harbored a grudge."

Zhang Yue thought to himself, is there anything else like this?

When he thought about it carefully, it was indeed true. In those days, he really had the habit of drinking tea in tea shops.

One time the two met in a tea shop. Because he was incognito and unwilling to respond to the other person in a crowded situation, he pretended not to know how to leave. Unexpectedly, the other person held a grudge.

Perhaps he wanted to find out his whereabouts on purpose, so he waited at the tea shop to specifically ask to see him.

There really is no such thing as unreasonable hatred in the world.

Over the years, there were too many officials who wanted to meet Zhang Yue, but I didn't pay any attention to them.

Zhang Yue said to Cai Jing: "Maybe this is really the case, and it doesn't matter anymore."

Cai Jingdao: "The official said that Liu Bojun was venting his personal anger, but Su Ziyou said, this man is a loyal and righteous man!"

As soon as Zhang Yue heard this, he looked at Cai Jing, and Cai Jing immediately shut up.

…

In the dungeon of the Imperial City Division inside Chengtianmen.

Two security guards stood by the gate, one on the left and one on the right. In front of them was a personal officer of the Detective Department.

This subordinate officer was sitting at the side of the case, and the interrogator in front of him was a man in his forties.

This man was sitting on the straw mat with his hands on his chest, showing no fear at all towards the officers from the Imperial City Detective Department in front of him.

During the reign of Xining, the officials used the Imperial City Division to spy on officials and people who opposed the new law in the city.

This is still the case after the Yuanfeng Year.

Shi Deyi advocated that the Detective Department of the Imperial City Department was very pervasive in detecting intelligence. From the court officials to the wealthy people, they all spied on people and the efficiency was extremely high. According to what Lu Gong later wrote, during the day

If you talk about it, the officials will know about it in the evening.

The Detective Department official said: "You fabricated rumors to create public opinion and incited people to hate the Liao Kingdom. Who is the mastermind behind this?"

The other party said: "I didn't know such a thing existed."

The Detective Department official sneered, threw several tabloids in front of the other party and said: "Who wrote these tabloids, who wrote them, and who printed them, we all know very well in the Imperial City Department. Don't tell me, you
