Wang Anshi's son Wang Yu now happens to be the storyteller in Chongzheng Palace.

Wang Anshi said: "If your Majesty intends to promote him, it would be better to change it to Tongzhi Liyuan."

The official wanted to promote Zhang Zhi, but Wang Anshi blocked it and couldn't help but murmur. Was it because he didn't regard him as your son-in-law back then, so he was blocking him? Or was it just because he had a problem with Zhang Yue?

The official said deliberately: "Yes, these three people have a very close relationship with Zhang Yue. What do you think of him?"

Wang Anshi said: "Zhang Yue is His Majesty's confidant, and I dare not discuss it."

When the officials heard what Wang Anshi said, it seemed that he had said it, but it seemed that he had not said it.

The official finally said: "It's a pity that Lu Huiqing will not be able to return to Beijing until October next year."

After retreating from Chongzheng Hall, Zhang Zhi and Cai Que were all very excited after not visiting Bianjing for a long time, so they made an appointment to have a drink at Fanlou.

Although Zhang Zhi was thinking about his wife in his heart, he could not stop Cai Que from going with him for the sake of his face.

The three of them were sitting on the high floor of Fan Tower, looking at the bustling city of Bianjing. The scene of busy traffic was something that could not be seen from a place like Shaanxi.

After returning from the flames of war, the three of them looked at the scenery, enjoyed the fine wine and food in the building, and listened to the beautiful woman playing the ditty, as if they were in another world.

Cai Que raised his wine cup to Zhang Zhi, who said to Zhang and Qi: "When I left Bianjing after becoming a Jinshi, I vowed to develop my ambitions in the local area. When I come to the capital again, I want everyone to know my name, Cai Que.

, now I have a little bit of hope.”

Zhang Zhi said: "Isn't that why Uncle Cai spoke about the recruitment law in the palace?"

Cai Que couldn't help laughing when he heard this and said: "What a Xi, your name has the character "Zhi" in it, and you are really Zhi. But you are Du Zhi's nephew, so I will answer you."

"Axi, there are two classes of people in this world who can leave a lasting legacy and achieve a great career."

"Which two classes?"

Cai Quedao: "The first is to do whatever it takes, and the second is to not change the original intention. For this reason, the two are either tyrants or heroes. Ah Xi, you must know what you want, and then face him,

Looking for the shortest shortcut and rushing over."

Zhang Kai said: "The difference between these words is that there is only one way in this world, and that is to not change your original intention."

Cai Que said: "As you can see, wealth lies in skills, not in hard work; profit lies in position, not in hard work. How can you get it without changing your original intention? Look at the number of hardworking people in the world.

They did not change their original intentions and took the straight path, but did the people who worked hard to cultivate the land become rich in the end?"

"It's easy to say that you won't change your original intention, but if you don't have the wisdom and determination to do it, you'll give up halfway."

Zhang Kai said: "I don't want to be rich, I just want to have a clear conscience in this life."

Cai Que smiled when he heard this and poured himself a glass of wine: "If you can always practice this, I'll give you this glass of wine."

Zhang Zhi thought for a while and said: "Actually, in my opinion, as long as you don't change your original intention and do whatever you want, this is the right path."

Cai Que and Zhang Qi both nodded.

While the three of them were talking, someone went upstairs to face Zhang Zhi and said, "Your Excellency, are you the judge of Zhang's signature? My husband-in-law has invited you!"

Zhang Zhi looked at the post and found out that it was Wang Anshi who invited him.

Cai Que looked at Zhang Zhi with a look of envy. Zhang Kai also thought that the three people in the palace today actually did not give the best answer to Zhang Zhi. It seemed that even if the other party did not become Wang Anshi's son-in-law, he would still be appreciated by Wang Anshi.

.

Zhang Zhi looked embarrassed, not because he didn't want to go, but because he was afraid of seeing Wang Yu. Moreover, I heard that Cai Bian and the girl from the Wang family were married, but Cai Bian was an official abroad and did not have a house in Beijing, so the girl from the Wang family might not be able to return.

At Wang Anshi's home.

By then, Zhang Zhi would be in a state of embarrassment.

Cai Que saw that Zhang Zhi still didn't want to go, with a look of resentment, and kicked Zhang Zhi under the table.

Only then did Zhang Zhi realize that Cai Que had reminded him not to show any hesitation.

Zhang Zhi said: "I am very frightened when I am invited by my husband. I am just arriving in the capital for the first time. How can I come here empty-handed?"

The other party smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, my husband doesn't care about this. As long as the seal comes to the door, it is a reward."

The servant spoke very politely and respectfully. The servant of the Prime Minister's Mansion was the most discerning, and it could be seen from his expression that Wang Anshi thought highly of Zhang Zhi.

Immediately Zhang Zhi said goodbye to Cai Que and Zhang Kai, and followed the royal family to Wang Anshi's mansion. Wang Anshi's mansion in the inner city was given to him by the officials after Wang Anshi was promoted to prime minister.

Zhang Zhi arrived at Wang Anshi's mansion, and his servants led him to a small pavilion in the west verandah.

Wang Anshi was sitting alone in a small pavilion, sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed, neither reading nor correcting official documents, just sitting there.

Zhang Zhi knew that Wang Anshi was meditating, so he sat down opposite him, then raised his eyes to look at the small pavilion.

Zhang Zhi saw a poem inscribed on the small window in the pavilion, which seemed to be "Shuangyun Snow Bamboo Zhongshan Temple, returning to old age to spend this life."

Zhang Zhi gently chanted the poem in his mouth.

"This poem was mentioned by chance half a year ago when I was a political official and paid homage to Tong Zhongshu's disciple Ping Zhangshi." Wang Anshi woke up and spoke out without knowing when.

Zhang Zhi suddenly realized that he looked at Wang Anshi in front of him.

When he studied under Wang Anshi in Jiangning, he knew that the frost and snow bamboo on Zhongshan Temple could be called a grand scene. But when Wang Anshi paid homage to the Prime Minister, he could write this poem when hundreds of officials came to congratulate him, which shows that he saw it.

The interest is so high that it is not contaminated by external things at all.

Zhang Zhidao said: "From the perspective of Xianggong's poem, we can see that when wearing jade, one's heart is like a gauze tree, and when one sets up a court, one's intention is in Dongshan."

Wang Anshi smiled and said: "I am not as tall as Xie An. I really regard wealth as a floating cloud. How many people can achieve it."

Wang Anshi said: "I'm calling you here to tell you that the officials wanted you to be a storyteller for Chongzheng Hall, but I blocked it. They just refused to grant you the title of Tongzhi Liyuan. Will you blame me for this?"

Zhang Zhidao: "The imperial court's arrangements must have a purpose, how can a subordinate dare to question it?"

However, Zhang Zhi was quite happy to think of staying in Beijing to accompany his wife.

Seeing Zhang Zhi's behavior, Wang Anshi nodded happily and said: "My uncle wanted to stay in the capital at first, but I tried to let him leave the capital again and again. Because my uncle has a well-rounded approach to things, can tolerate anger and ridicule, and can handle affairs and manage all kinds of secrets, he can do it."

From small to large, if he was a border minister, only Tao Shixing could compare with him. This is where he can make the most of his talents, and he must not live in the capital just for the sake of temporary comfort."

"But you are different. Although you are upright, it is inevitable that good steel will break easily. I let you Tongzhiliyuan just to let you read more books and sharpen your temperament. As for the storyteller of Chongzheng Palace, it is of course your long-term companion.

You are in front of us, but you are also in the most dangerous place in the world. With your temperament, you will probably offend people, and no matter how good your relationship with the officials is, you will do bad things."

Only then did Zhang Zhi suddenly realize.

He had previously heard that both Han Jiang and Wu Chong had recommended Zhang Yue to return to Beijing for his great achievements, but Wang Anshi also blocked him.

People at that time said that Wang Anshi was stingy because the Imperial College's affairs had contradicted him and deliberately hindered his official career.

But now that I don't hear him say such words, I really don't know what his intention is in making arrangements.

Zhang Zhi said: "I have thanked my uncle for my uncle."

Wang Anshi said: "These are just small things. I asked you to come here today to tell you that I have great expectations for you. Even if you can't be your son-in-law, it doesn't matter."
