Zhang Mao on the side had already informed her of Zhang Yue's return to Beijing.

Gao Taotao moved the Buddhist beads in his hand thoughtfully and sighed: "I don't like Zhu Jieyu, but why don't I like my grandson? People in the market are good at making arrangements. Find out who in the palace leaked it.

The news is intended to drive a wedge between our mother and son."

Zhang Maoze said: "The saint and the official are like mother and son. Their blood is thicker than water. How can they be separated by others?"

Gao Tao gushed: "But the officials decided on their own to decide Princess Yanxi's marriage, and they also wanted to marry the Zhang family. Aren't they dissatisfied with the second brother's long stay in the palace?"

Princess Yanxi is the legitimate daughter and eldest daughter of the official family and Empress Xiang.

Gao Taotao and Guan Jia are mother and son, but when it comes to choosing a prince-in-law, Guan Jia did not listen to his mother and made his own decision.

Emperor Taizong of the Song Dynasty once said, I have tried to tell you that today's marriages are all in the homes of generals, prime ministers, and ministers.

In fact, most princesses marry military generals. For example, the three daughters of Empress Dowager Gao all married military officials, but some also married civil servants. For example, the third daughter of Emperor Shenzong married Han Jiayan, the sixth son of Han Qi.

His grandson is Han Yuzhou.

As for the officials who thought what they were doing was hidden, didn't they know that a chamberlain had already secretly reported what he had said to Empress Xiang to Empress Dowager Gao?

In Gao Taotao's eyes, the official ordered a husband who had served in the military to marry him without consulting him in advance, knowing that it was just for him.

Zhang Maoze said: "Reporting to the sage, I think the officials want to name Zhang Yue as Duke of Han and Wei, and not for any other purpose. Besides, Zhang Xianggong may not agree."

Hearing this, Gao Taotao recalled the scene when Emperor Yingzong was still in his dormitory, Zhang Yue came to their house to persuade them. Later, when Yingzong ascended the throne and the emperor ascended the throne, Zhang Yue played an important role.

Gao Taotao has always had a good impression of Zhang Yue.

Gao Tao said: "Do you think Zhang Yue will agree?"

Zhang Maoze said: "I don't know, but Mr. Zhang should be a smart man and understand things."

Gao Tao said: "I told Xianggong Zhang in the palace that with this kind of kindness (for establishing the crown prince), the relationship between the king and his ministers can last forever."

"So later when Zhang Xianggong contradicted the late emperor in front of the emperor, I used the story of Empress Changsun to help him excuse himself. After the official came to power, it was I who persuaded him to choose Zhang Yue as the prime minister."

"I always remember the love back then, but now that he is in a high position, I wonder if I have forgotten it!"

Having said this, Gao Taotao's eyes revealed a sharp color.

Having served Empress Dowager Cao and Gao Taotao, Zhang Mao knew Gao Taotao's temperament very well.

Once Zhang Yue loses his mind on this matter, he will be punished by the wrath of thunder.

Don’t mention any favors from now on.

Zhang Maoze said: "Old minister, are you going to order some of this Zhang Yue?"

"No need!" Gao Taotao said with arrogance.

…

Participate in politics and go to Beijing.

There were more than a hundred ceremonial attendants.

Under the green umbrella, Zhang Yue, wearing a purple robe with a gold belt and a goldfish bag hanging on his waist, rode a maroon Hexi horse, riding proudly on the spacious street.

When Zhang Yue set foot in the capital, the people in Bianjing told each other early.

Many people came here to see Zhang Xianggong's grace.

Zhang Yue has lived in Bianjing for many years. Although he is now the father-in-law, the people in Bianjing are still accustomed to calling him "Zhang Lang".

This is what the people of Bianjing have called me since I was the top scholar in junior high school. Now, after so many years, no one can change their saying.

The common people spoke of each other as if they were watching their neighbor's boy finally grow up. It seemed very affectionate to call him this.

Then parents educate their children, do you see that? This is what a man should do.

In addition to common people and scholars, there are also many officials and dignitaries.

Compared with Gao Taotao and the official family who were always paying attention to Zhang Yue's itinerary, as well as the common people who had just learned the news, the officials and dignitaries all knew about Zhang Yue's itinerary.

They sat in restaurants or on the watchtowers of their homes and watched Zhang Yue enter the city. At the same time, they evaluated from the bottom of their hearts how Zhang Yue's entry into the capital would bring about changes in the struggle between the old and new parties in the entire capital and the high-level political structure.

At this moment, both the new party and the old party were watching Zhang Yue enter the city with complicated emotions.

Needless to say, the next day's Di Bao, Chao Bao and tabloids all published Zhang Yue's return to Beijing to serve as the governor of political affairs.

After Zhang Yue entered the palace, he met Li Qingchen at the palace gate. Li Qingchen was sent by the officials to bring him into the palace.

When Han Qi died of illness, Zhang Yue and Li Qingchen went to visit him. Zhang Yue said many good things about Han Qi in his memorial to the officials afterwards, and wrote an epitaph for Han Qi as promised.

Li Qingchen, who is Han Qi's niece and son-in-law, has long regarded Zhang Yue as one of his own.

In fact, Zhang Yue also admired Li Qingchen. Not only did he, Wang Anshi and the official family also admire him, but now they are very close because of Han Qi's incident.

Zhang Yue also felt in his heart that this person could be cultivated well.

Zhang Yue and Li Qingchen chatted for a while and then went to the palace.

Li Qingchen made an invitation gesture to the hall and stood aside.

"Bachelor of Xuanduan Ming Palace, Doctor Yinqing Guanglu, Minister of Rites, involved in political affairs, Zhang Yue, the founding lord of Hejian County, comes to see you!"

Xuan Zan announced Zhang Yue's long list of official titles. Of course, the name could not be omitted, otherwise it would be like worshiping without a name, and he would soon be treated like Jiuxi.

After Zhang Yue entered the palace, he met officials he had not seen for more than a year.
