Chapter 1345: Danai Prime Minister (Three updates in one)

As soon as Empress Dowager Gao entered the door, she played Zhang Yue with emotional cards.

Sima Guang and Zhang Yue both supported each other back then, and they both made great efforts in the ascension of Yingzong's throne.

She is a very nostalgic person, so she will definitely give you a good reward on this.

Zhang Yue knew it very well.

What is Empress Dowager Gao’s goal? Her goal is Empress Dowager Zhang Xianmingsu. Of course, the former Empress Dowager Zhang Xian was Wu Zetian.

Of course, under the opposition of the ministers, Empress Dowager Zhang Xian did not become Wu Zetian in the end.

Empress Dowager Cao, after Empress Dowager Zhang Xian, was forced to withdraw the curtain and return the power to Emperor Yingzong under the pressure of Han Qi's civil servant group.

In another time and space history, Empress Dowager Gao did not become Empress Dowager Zhang Xian, but he also surpassed Empress Dowager Cao.

On the one hand, the civil servant group has become stronger, and on the other hand, she used the card to abolish the reform to differentiate the civil servant group.

She truly held power.

In another time and space history, Gao Taotao made full use of the card of King Yong and Wang Gui's ambiguous neutrality, and forced the New Party to give out all the cards of the trump card in the matter of becoming a crown prince.

For the sake of the sixth son, Empress Xiang had to secretly interact with Cai Que, Han Zhongyan and other ministers as a check and balance.

However, in this life, the sixth son of the emperor was already made the crown prince.

The sixth son of the emperor is not a lonely man. He already has Han Zhongyan, Cai Bian, Cheng Yi and others as teams.

Therefore, Zhang Yue went through a lot of hardships before and did not hesitate to offend the emperor, but also wanted to do this.

Now I have the capital to confront Empress Dowager Gao, and the priests who supported the establishment of the crown prince were all on their side.

Even old parties such as Sima Guang and others dare not have any objections to the matter of throne.

Now, Empress Dowager Gao will be very weak when playing King Yong again.

When Empress Dowager Gao saw Zhang Yue asking to take King Yong out, she did not answer directly but asked: "You are ordered to go to the capital, what have you eaten in the mansion these days."

Zhang Yue said: "It's all home-cooked side dishes. I know I want to meet the Queen Mother today, so I just ate noodles and pickles this morning."

Empress Dowager Gao asked with a smile: "You were the prime minister, so did you eat only these?"

Zhang Yue said: "I eat lightly. I just drink porridge when I get up in the morning. Now I am afraid of being disrespectful to eat porridge, so I have eaten noodles."

Empress Dowager Gao behind the curtain laughed when she heard this.

Zhang Yue said that he was prone to urination when drinking porridge now, so he changed to eating noodles.

The two were chatting at home, and Empress Dowager Gao smiled and said, "When Zhang Qing usually eats so simple?"

Zhang Yue said: "No, I ate more hearty after returning home, and there were also a lot of big fish and meat."

"But this time I returned to Jianzhou, the mountains and wild fruits and vegetables were in line with Dechen's appetite."

"When I was young, I liked meat and fish, but now I think that plain and simple joy are the real taste. Only by simple and simple food can you cultivate a noble spirit."

Empress Dowager Gao said, "Oh, Zhang Qing said this with a true meaning. I have different opinions on the old man. If a person does not seek great desires from his mouth, he must seek great desires from the world."

Zhang Yue said: "In this way, Zhang Du is full of desire."

"oh?"

"I would rather eat less and have no fill." Zhang Yue smiled and said Zhang Maoze's catchphrase.

Empress Dowager Gao smiled when she heard this, and Zhang Yue laughed too.

But the tense atmosphere in the hall eased a little.

Empress Gao smiled and said, "Old son and Empress Ci Shengguangxian are both Buddhists who practice Buddhism, and they are inevitably disgusted with miscellaneous tastes. Zhang Du knew that these people who served by each other all year round would eat vegetarian food every day. Over time, their appetite would be reduced."

Zhang Yue curled his smile and said, "The only way to do things from ancient times to the present is respect."

When a Chinese fashion scholar met the emperor, he often had to hold the scent of chicken tongues on his mouth to avoid the emperor's smell. The scent of chicken tongues on his mouth became a synonym for court officials. Zhang Yue knew that Empress Dowager Gao had been practicing Buddhism for a long time, so he was particularly sensitive to miscellaneous smells. Therefore, Zhang Yue specially smoked incense on his clothes and rinsed his mouth several times with fragrant tea.

How to maintain a superficial decency and a distinction between superior and inferiority while expressing one's own interests is always the knowledge of an official.

Empress Dowager Gao said: "No wonder the official family often says that Zhang Qing is a minister. But I have recently read Li He's poem "Repay the Lord's meaning on the Golden Platform, and support the Jade Dragon to die for the Lord." It is said that since ancient times, the king's kindness is the most difficult to absorb, and the scholars die for the confidant."

"But after Li He, he also wrote a sentence 'I don't know that the sky is high and the earth is thick. I only see the moon is cold and the sun is warm, so I come to live in the life of the people's life'. If you say you don't need it for a long time, do you feel resentful?"

Li He has always been known as a ghost in poetry. He is the meaning of paying respect to the king on the golden platform. He wrote it when he was twenty years old, and he was quite romantic about being loyal to his family and country.

But later he was depressed and unsuccessful in his career. At the end of the 27th year, he died in depression. He wrote a poem that "I don't know the sky is high and the earth is thick, but I only see the moon is cold and the sun is warm, so I come to live a life of life."

Empress Dowager Gao uses poetry to describe politics.

Do you, Zhang Yue, have any resentment at this moment?

Zhang Yue said: "I originally proposed to establish a crown prince. My original intention was to do something important for the court before retreating. When I passed Xianxia Ridge, I threw my bamboo stick into the abyss with a thousand feet. I had already made up the intention to never leave Fujian again."

"Where comes from, where to go? I worked hard for the country for half my life and could enjoy this pure blessing. The king's kindness is really great. There is a cycle of heaven, and the power cannot be fully used, and the blessing cannot be fully used. How can I not know the truth?"

After Zhang Yue finished speaking, he glanced at the Queen Mother of the Curtain.

"Your Majesty gave me a military commander, but I retreated again and again. Unexpectedly, the tea change in Jianzhou, I had to accept the order in the face of danger. Today, I have not heard of Your Majesty's order to summon me. Your Majesty did not say a word on his sick bed, but summoned me to the capital. I don't know what the intention is? I also asked the Empress Dowager to tell me about it and then give me a retirement and return home."

Queen Mother Gao, who was behind the curtain, was silent for a moment.

Zhang Yue's sentence "The power cannot be fully used, and the blessing cannot be fully enjoyed." Why doesn't she know what it means? Although you, Empress Dowager Gao, is now dealing with state affairs, the prince will sooner or later be in charge of the rule.

The way of heaven has a cycle.

What will happen if you disobey Sijun today?

Today I am so happy to manipulate power, what should I do in the future?

Let’s talk about Empress Xiang in another time and space history. After she supported Song Huizong to take office, she also nominally left behind the curtain.

However, in view of the story of Yuanyou Shaosheng, Xiang Empress was not interested in power. She returned the power to Song Huizong after half a year of being behind the curtain. When she arrived at the court, she also laughed at herself saying that she could not recognize these words, saying that her cultural level was not high and she could not handle state affairs.

You should know that Empress Xiang is the great-granddaughter of former Prime Minister Xiang Minzhong, and her educational level is definitely not low.

Now, what Empress Dowager Gao does not care about the life and death of his own flesh and blood, the country, but puts his own selfish interests first!

Empress Dowager Gao was said to be central to Zhang Yue, but she was a very strong person in her personality and still refused to let go of King Yong's affairs.

Empress Dowager Gao said: "The official family has not recovered from illness these days. When they see the old minister, they are afraid of being in agitation. See you again in a while."

Zhang Yue said: "The Empress Dowager is remembering the old love, and I am grateful to the Five Insiders. I have another thing..."

After saying that, Zhang Yue took out the memorial and said, "I heard that Sima Guang submitted a memorial to abolish the law of exemption from service and the law of Baojia. This is the memorial written by Zeng Bu, Zhang Qi, Zhang Zhi and others for many days."

"On the gains and losses of the new Xining Yuanfeng law."

Zhang Yue gave the memorial to the eunuch on the side, and the eunuch gave it to the Empress Dowager Gao who was behind the curtain.

The sound of flipping the paper pages came from behind the curtains.

Empress Dowager Gao said: "Do you know that my old man gets up and recites sutras every day at Yin? The "Avatamsaka Sutra" says: The heart is like a skilled painter, and he can draw all the worlds."

"Sima Guang has been saying that the new law is not feasible for more than ten years, and his heart is open and upright. He once told his old man that he would be exempted from labor and money from labor, even if he had small profits, he would eventually ruin the rules of the court! Although the labor service was hard, he still had the spirit of loyalty and kindness."

Of course, from Zhang Yue's perspective, we can also understand why the Empress Dowager wanted to abolish the new law. The officials of the new party were promoted by the officials, but she could not help.

On the contrary, the old party officials were oppressed by the new party for a long time. She could only use the old party to be eager to take over, overthrow the new party, and update personnel to achieve the goal of controlling the government.

This is a way to easily achieve the goal without thinking, so whether Empress Dowager Gao opposes the new law or not, its internal reasons are not important.

The only way for the New Party to compete is to play the prince's card well. But it does not mean that the article is not handled on the surface, and support from the hearts of the people is also crucial.

Faced with Sima Guang's card of "The Law of Ancestors", Zhang Yue will easily fall at a disadvantage if he wants to narrate from the perspective of the traditional new party.

Zhang Yue planned and replied: "I have been eating the king's fortune for twenty years, but I only know the four words "to take the people as the basis". I use the bones of the people to build loyalty and integrity. I don't know that there is this method."

"Sima Jun is really a gentleman, and I always believe that his heart is open and upright like the empress dowager. But he has been away from the place for too long and has been burying his head in books for fifteen years. How can he know what the people's livelihood in the world? In my opinion, his stubbornness is like Wang Jiefu back then."

Sima Guang's memorial had a routine as usual, "Since I said, ".

Of course, the important support is Sima Guang's personal charm and moral model. Many people in the new party, such as Pu Zongmeng, have questioned Sima Guang's character and saying: "Talents are half destroyed by Sima Guang's evil sayings." As a result, they were angry and criticized by the officials, "I only resigned from the Privy Council. Since I ascended the throne, I have only seen this person; even if others force me to leave, I will not agree."

It is normal for people to stigmatize or throw dirty water on political enemies or disagreements. However, this move can easily affect your judgment and your objectivity.

If Zhang Yue wants to question Sima Guang's actions in terms of character, Empress Dowager Gao will definitely be scoffed at. Zhang Yue is not doubting Sima Guang's character, but rather doubting Empress Dowager Gao's vision of looking at people.

Zhang Yue continued: "I remember that there is a chapter in Mencius that "the people are the most important". I once asked Cheng Yi: "Can benevolent government measure?" Cheng Yi replied: "The living people are the same as the benevolent government." I hope that the empress dowager will use the childish phoenix eyes as a mirror and do not let history shine alone behind the curtain."

The way to deal with the law of ancestors is to abolish the new law and cause economic and people's livelihood turmoil.

After reading the memorials drawn by Zhang Yue, Empress Dowager Gao read the memorials drafted by Zhang Yue, and not only the national treasury has lost millions of yuan in a year, but also the Jianzhou tea tax and Suzhou and Hangzhou machinery households all rely on the Immunity Law. What should I do? Zeng Bu also compiled the "Study on the Origin and Flow of the Law of Service" and refuted Sima Guang's restoration of the old law.

Empress Dowager Gao wants to seize power, but the bigger premise is to firmly sit in the world.

Once the world is uneasy and the people are boiling, she will be in a state of suffocation.

Empress Dowager Gao hesitated for a moment and said, "The prince is kind, filial and intelligent, and has great scholars like Cheng Yichuan, who will become the king of Yao and Shun in time."

Empress Dowager Gao’s words were already half compromised.

Zhang Yue smiled slightly, and he knew that he had achieved his goal. At this time, he would not take advantage of the situation to add a fire, but to leave it to the next time.

No matter how aggressive you are, you are easily annoyed.

People are both rational and emotional, so they must be well grasped.
