Chapter 990 Negotiation (two updates in one)(1/2)
The monarch and his ministers discussed it for two full hours.●????????????Search??????520.??????●
Sun Zhu, a short and thin official who was in charge of repairing daily life notes, also recorded everything truthfully without any distortion.
Sun Zhu was promoted to Jinshi in the first year of Emperor You's reign and has been an official for twenty-eight years. Because of his short and thin stature, Sun Zhu was teased by Liu Huan, the most vicious tongue in Xining.
At that time, Liu Ban, Sun Jue and Sun Zhu both knew Taichang Liyuan.
Liu Fan taught the clerk to give something to Sun Jue. The clerk said that there were two Sun Jue scholars, but I couldn't identify them.
Liu Fan said, you can recognize him just by looking at his beard.
The clerk said it still didn't work.
Liu Fan said, "You are stupid. Look at Sun Jue, who is tall and fat. He is the great Husun (hozen) scholar. Sun Zhu is short and thin, and he is the little Husun (hozen) scholar."
Sun Zhu, a short and thin man, took up the post of Xiu Jiju. At that time, Han Qi had praised him, and now he is Jia Yi.
At the same time, Sun Zhu also had another characteristic: he was strict in speech and kept everything to himself. When he was the censor, after writing a memorial, he burned the manuscript so that no one could see it.
Because of this advantage, he is also the most suitable official to practice daily life.
Sun Zhu also had the ambition to reform the bad government, but he was at odds with Wang Anshi. However, he had no contact with Zhang Yue, but he had a good relationship with Zhang Yue's teachers Chen Xiang and Su Shi, and his daughter was married to Li Qingchen
For the continuation string.
Today, he is here to record for the living officials what happened between Zhang Yue and the officials.
Sun Zhuli wrote on the manuscript with pen and paper.
The Emperor's Counselor Zhang Yue changed the Yuan Dynasty.
Zhang Yue replied, "Everything is as you wish." The country has been in power for more than a hundred years, and no reign has been more than nine years old. The treasures were raised together, and the country was peaceful and rejuvenated. The story of the great auspicious talisman.
The emperor asked Zhang Yue again: "Who can you recommend?"
Zhang Yue replied: Su Song, Zeng Bu, Chen Xiang and several others.
The emperor was overjoyed.
Next, Zhang Yue gave advice to the emperor. Sun Zhu couldn't help but hesitate again and again, but finally recorded it in the file.
Zhang Yue said to the official: "I advise your Majesty to appoint yourself, but does your Majesty know the disadvantages of appointing yourself?"
The official said: "I don't know."
Zhang Yue said: "Throughout the ages, the emperor has exercised power in the hands of one person. Needless to say, the power is great. However, there is no responsibility for the disadvantages of exercising power in one person. May I ask your majesty if this is a disadvantage?"
When the official heard this, he hesitated and said, "Keep going on, Qing Zhang!"
Zhang Yue said: "I told your Majesty that with power comes responsibility, and power and responsibility must be equal. However, the emperor's power is so great that no one dares to criticize him. If he has such great power but little responsibility, where does the extra responsibility go?
Already?"
"Then it must come to the ministers, officials, and the court. People in the world dare not blame Your Majesty for wrongdoing in government. They can only blame the ministers, officials, and the court, and let them bear the blame for Your Majesty. How to correct this?
Please make it clear, Your Majesty!"
When Sun Zhu wrote this, he saw the official's face change slightly, and his writing also paused slightly. These words were admonitions, but they also meant warnings.
Sun Zhu, as today's Jia Yi, knew what Zhang Yue meant.
That is, even if the emperor has great power, he cannot do whatever he wants.
If Zhang Yue acted in accordance with his wishes before, now Sun Zhu feels that Zhang Yue is admonishing him.
Zhang Yuejin is also very methodical in admonishing. He will first touch your hair and then speak from the bottom of his heart.
But I saw the official getting up and walking around. He thought for a while and then said: "Qing Zhang, this can be said to be an honest and honest statement. It's not like I haven't thought about this before."
"If I have any mistakes in the future, please tell me directly. No, I will blame you face to face! If the mistakes are too big, I will issue an edict to blame myself and will never blame anyone else!"
Sun Zhu heard the sound, took a deep breath, and continued recording.
From Taizu to today's emperors, there have been edicts on sin and crime, on average, more than one edict a year.
Most of them are caused by disasters and natural changes.
Of course, some culpable edicts were just formalities, but there were also cases where the emperor reflected on himself. For example, after Zheng Xia came to Shu, the officials knew the miserable situation of the refugees and issued the culpable edict.
After listening to the emperor's words, Zhang Yue said with extreme caution: "Your majesty is wise! Yao and Shun are not as good as this."
After a pause, Zhang Yue said again: "Your Majesty, since the Reform, Prime Minister Wang Anshi has not been afraid of suffering. I am afraid that in the future, the Prime Minister will be like Wang Anshi!"
After listening to Zhang Yue's words, Sun Zhu felt the other party's sincere feelings and sighed that Zhang Yue was truly a gentleman.
What is a gentleman?
In Sun Zhu's heart, there are two standards for a gentleman. One is that one's thoughts are as clear as the sky and the sun is white, and cannot be made known to others. To put it bluntly, one must take care of things. The other is that one's talents are as hidden as jade and pearls. They cannot be easily known to others and cannot be shown off in front of others.
own talent.
Wanting to be better than others is the behavior of a villain, but it is not what a gentleman should do.
In this regard, Zhang Yue is a true gentleman. He serves the emperor with sincerity and is not like other ministers who use routines in their words.
Sun Zhu, who was studying daily life notes, saw many monarchs and ministers cheating on each other. The emperor and he knew clearly that they wanted to do this. But the other party just deliberately chatted about other things, and after talking a lot about it, they seemed to leave no trace.
Bring the topic back.
Zhang Yue's speech between the emperor and his ministers was very direct and clear. Of course, only those who can confide in the officials would dare to say this.
At first, Sun Zhu remembered that he had political disagreements with Wang Anshi and was demoted to the post of governor of Haizhou. He didn't like Wang Anshi, but he understood that since the Xining Reform, the whole world's responsibility was solely on Wang Anshi.
But is there no fault of the emperor?
Zeng Gongliang said everywhere that Wang Anshi and the official family were the same person.
Nowadays, the conflict between the official family and Wang Anshi is also great. The monarch and his ministers have turned against each other for so many years, and they have made a lot of faces. But in the end, they must start well and end well.
Some emperors clearly meant what they wanted, but in the end they passed the responsibility to their ministers and took it all by themselves.
Although Zhang Yue's words just now were not fully stated, the hidden meaning was already obvious.
Wang Anshi shared a lot of responsibility for the officials in the reform. Even if the officials have strong opinions, they must respect Wang Anshi. Only in this way will the prime minister dare to do his best to serve you.
This is a good emperor in the eyes of scholar-bureaucrats.
When the official heard this, he followed Shan Ruliu and said, "I know what you mean."
Hearing this, Zhang Yue saluted again and said, "Your Majesty, you are wise!"
Sun Zhu glanced at Zhang Yue and thought, "Zhang Yue, Zhang Yue, the officials have called you back to Beijing to participate in politics this time, with the intention of replacing Wang Anshi in power, but at this time you said good things for Wang Anshi."
He couldn't understand what Zhang Yue was thinking for a moment.
If he had been Zhang Yue, he would definitely have added insult to injury to Wang Anshi.
…
"Sage, the officials talked with Zhang Yue for two hours in the Chongzheng Hall."
Gao Taotao frowned when he heard this.
Zhang Mao, on the other hand, stood aside with lowered eyebrows.
Empress Dowager Gao glanced at Zhang Maoze, and instantly regretted not listening to Zhang Maoze's advice and letting the other party order Zhang Yue.
Gao Taotao said deliberately: "It seems that Zhang Yue's holy family is still higher than Wang Anshi's."
Zhang Maoze said: "As far as I know, the person who recommended Wang Anshi to the officials was Zhang Yue."
Gao Tao gushed: "Jiayou's government is so great and beautiful! It's a pity... that it was ruined by people like Wang Anshi."
At this moment, a chamberlain hurriedly entered the room and said to Empress Dowager Gao: "The officials and Zhang Yue were talking in the palace."
Zhang Yue's visit to Beijing to meet the emperor and talk to the emperor was semi-public. Except for Sun Zhu, who was practicing daily life notes, the servants on the left and right did not avoid it.
However, the servants stood far away, and the monarch and his ministers were talking face to face, so they might not be able to hear clearly. Only a few people who were very close could hear.
In fact, when they talked about exterminating Xia, the two men spoke in a low voice, and the officials who compiled the daily notes did not dare to write it down. The rest was not hidden.
But Gao Taotao was able to find out so quickly because she was the Queen Mother.
Hearing that the official family was going to change the Yuan Dynasty, Gao Taotao was noncommittal, but Zhang Yue took the initiative to say that the eldest son was engaged.
Suddenly, Empress Dowager Gao's face looked as if the sky had cleared up after the rain. The servants around her might have thought that it was cloudy just now, as if a storm was about to come, but at this moment it was calm.
The atmosphere changed, but Gao Taotao did not reveal anything. Instead, he asked Zhang Maoze curiously: "Who is this Huang Lu?"
Zhang Mao talked about Huang Lu's resume one by one.
Gao Taotao's eyes lit up and he said: "This man who won the Jinshi title and gave up his official position and returned thousands of miles to his hometown to guard the funeral of his wife who has never passed away is truly a great person."
Zhang Maoze said: "When this person knew about Taichang Liyuan, he had dealings with the ministers. He is indeed a person who regards fame and wealth as if they were floating clouds. But I didn't expect that this person values friendship."
Gao Taotao smiled slightly and said: "I read it right. This Zhang Yue is also a person who values friendship. He is in a high position, but he treats his old friends so kindly. He is much better than Wang Anshi. It would be great if the officials let him replace him. Already."
Gao Taotao's words are like "knowing the subtleties". Women see people and things from a different perspective than men.
From a political point of view, women have their own political talents. Looking at female time travel stories, every heroine has a hundred and eighty eyes, and is particularly familiar with palace battles.
In response to this, Zhang Mao said loudly: "The sage clearly shows that the old minister thinks that Wang Anshi is actually a good minister. He is a little bit rude, but he is unkind!"
Gao Tao said eloquently: "This is important. Those who are unkind in everything are rarely treacherous. That's what Su Xun said in the rape record. At that time, no one in the capital knew about Wang Anshi's treachery, but Su Xun was the only one who saw through it with a single glance.
