Seeing the official give up his seat, Zhang Yue was shocked and asked, "What does the official mean?"
Zhang Yue's face was full of surprise, and he couldn't say a word at this time. Sun Yong said anxiously: "Your Majesty! You must not do this!"
When the official heard Sun Yong's words, he finally realized that his move was too inappropriate. He was also happy to say this for a moment.
Sun Yong said angrily that he not only reminded the officials, but also saved Zhang Yue's life.
The throne is the honor of the master and cannot be given to ministers under any circumstances.
The official pretended to reprimand, "Can't I sit down with Zhang Qing?"
Zhang Yue immediately said: "I would never dare!"
The official smiled and said to Zhang Yue: "Please don't be surprised, I am of the same mind as you."
After hearing this, Zhang Yue felt that the emperor's description was getting darker and darker, and he quickly said: "I wholeheartedly repay your majesty. I have no words to express my feelings. I beg your majesty to consider your words."
The official said with a smile: "With your strategizing, you not only captured Huangzhou and captured Ali's bones alive, but Dong Feang also resigned and submitted to the Song Dynasty. The entire Qingtang Dynasty was also swept down."
"How should I reward you for such a great achievement that is unrivaled in the world? How can I regret this position?"
I see.
Zhang Kai not only defeated Huangzhou this time, but also captured Ali's bones alive. Now that Dong Xiang is asking for submission, the entire Qingtang has been swept away.
This kind of martial arts can indeed be reported to the Imperial Ancestral Temple and recorded in the history.
Zhang Yue and Sun Yong both knew that when His Majesty was extremely happy, some of his words would inevitably be emotional.
Sun Yongdao said: "Your Majesty, I don't understand that even if we send troops to take Huangzhou, how can we capture Ali's bones alive, and how can Dong Fei surrender?"
The official smiled and said: "I am also puzzled. I want to ask Zhang Qing?"
Not only the officials, but also Sun Yong, Shi De and others looked at Zhang Yue. They thought that if they could only capture Huangzhou, they would also sweep the entire Qingtang Dynasty, so they wanted to get the answer from him.
But when I saw Zhang Yue said very cautiously: "Although I have a 70% to 80% estimate, I don't dare to say so without seeing the military report."
Although there is a suspicion of betrayal, the officials have always known that there is nothing certain about Zhang Yue's temper.
The official said: "When I hear these words, I know that everything is under your control. It is really the plan of the ovary!"
Zhang Yue said: "Your Majesty, although Dong Xiang expressed his request to surrender, he did not do so out of sincerity. It was to test whether our dynasty had the intention to embezzle the Qing and Tang Dynasties. I think that although Huangzhou has been conquered, the situation has not been consolidated, and the new vassals may hold both ends.
."
"Your Majesty, please immediately issue an order to grant Dong Fei an envoy to calm his mind!"
"According to the report!" In the past, the officials had to consider it, but today they agreed without hesitation, and said to the left and right: "I have to build a stone here. Tonight, you and I will enjoy the lanterns together."
this……
The Xuandemen Tower faces the south, and only the Emperor sits alone. The prime ministers, such as Han Jiang, and the Emperor's biological mother, the Empress Dowager Gao, can only sit in the East and West Towers.
Is this appropriate?
Zhang Yue suddenly thought of Zhuangzi's story.
Zhuangzi went to the mountains with his students one day and saw a tall tree, but the woodcutter didn't cut it down. Zhuangzi asked about it, and the woodcutter said, "Because it doesn't produce timber, I don't cut it down."
Zhuangzi and his students arrived at the farmhouse. The owner of the farmhouse killed geese to entertain the guests. One goose could crow and the other could not. The owner of the farmhouse killed the geese that could not crow and gave them to Zhuangzi and the others.
A student who came down from the mountain asked Zhuangzi, "Trees have preserved their natural life because they have not become useful, but geese have died because they have not become useful. In this world, do we want to become useful or not?"
Zhuangzi said to his students, "If I were me, I would be somewhere between accomplished and unachievable. I would be like a dragon or a snake. I can hide and hide, and I can soar and fly. I cannot generalize or stick to one end of the spectrum."
If you are not talented, others will bully you; if you are noble, others will slander you; if you are a gentleman, others will plot against you; if you are a villain, others will hate you.
Therefore, to be a human being, one needs to be materialistic rather than materialistic. Whether one is good or not can change at any time. Only inner morality is eternal.
Whether it is successful or not, it must change at any time.
Zhang Yueshen agreed.
Some emperors are jealous of talents. The more talented you are in front of them, the faster you will die. When you meet such an emperor, you must know how to restrain your sharpness and never stand out or act smart.
Otherwise, it will be cut down as large trees. Many emperors in the Ming and Qing Dynasties were experts in logging.
From Li Shanchang, Hu Huaiyong to Zhang Juzheng, in the Qing Dynasty, even Zhang Tingyu, who was regarded as the first official in the officialdom, almost lost his job.
This is one person ruling the world.
But some emperors value talents, and the more talented you are in front of him, the more you will be appreciated and used. However, we can accept that the birds will be hidden, but the dogs will be cooked to death.
For example, Liu Xiu and Liu Bei of the old Liu family, as well as Zhao Kuangyin, Emperor Taizu of this dynasty, are all considered kind people, and another one is the official in front of us.
Faced with this request from the officials, the servants and Sun Yong all watched how Zhang Yue would answer.
Zhang Yue hesitated for a moment and said: "Your Majesty, I heard that the inchworm stings me to gain my trust; the dragon and snake sting me to protect myself."
"The talent of the minister is between the trees and the geese, and it is really not suitable for him."
Earthworms bend in order to stretch, dragons and snakes hibernate in winter in order to survive.
Officials also know the allusion between Mu and Yan. Zhang Yue's implication is that I am a person who seeks more for my career than for the country. If it weren't for the promotion of the country, I need to rely on the power of your emperor, I would not dare to sit down boldly.
This position.
Otherwise, the people below will not obey you.
What happened to Zhang Yue these days is very clear to the officials. He was scolded a lot. He was scolded for reforming the service law and for attacking Huangzhou. He was not a human being.
The official said with much emotion: "I know your heart! The Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager said that when you use your troops, you should use the shallow and not the deep."
"The same is true for how you govern a country. You carry the light but not the heavy. You carry the weight like the wind but it is just like this. This is where no one can match you. I only know it today."
These words were spoken from the heart of the emperor. Zhang Yue's words about the tree and wild geese came from Zhuangzi, and the official's words about fortune being as close as the wind also came from Zhuangzi.
It is said that a person applied white powder as thin as a fly's wing on the tip of his nose, and asked the craftsman to peel off the white powder with an axe. The craftsman waved the ax calmly and peeled off the white powder, but the other person's nose was not affected at all.
hurt.
The official said his words sincerely. Although I knew you were powerful in the past, I still didn't know you well. Now I know that your way of governing the country is so superb that "you can move a pound like the wind."
After these words, the monarch and his ministers were heartbroken.
The official said: "You will use it as a Huang Shang from now on!"
Kun Gua No. 65, Huang Shang, Yuan Ji.
Sixty-five in Kun hexagram corresponds to nine-five in Qian hexagram, and the hexagram of nine-five is "flying dragon in the sky".
The sixth and ninth periods are when the Qian and Kun hexagrams are at their most prosperous. The Qian hexagram is used from Hidden Dragon to Flying Dragon in the Sky, which is to use the dragon as a metaphor for a gentleman's rise from seclusion to soaring.
The same is true for the Kun hexagram, which symbolizes the position of ministers. Qian represents the emperor, and Kun represents the ministers.
Kun hexagram sixty-five, Huang Shang. This is also the time when the minister's position is at its peak.
The yellow robe is the color of clothing worn by the emperor, and the yellow robe is the color of clothing worn by the false emperor, who rules the world on behalf of the emperor.
In the Song Dynasty, the emperor and the scholar-bureaucrats jointly ruled the world.
Zhang Yuede's words from the emperor made all the pain of these days disappear. There are only two levels of prime ministers in the world, one is like a rat in a bellows and suffers from both sides, and the other is like a tofu cut with a knife and both sides are exposed!
Which level of prime minister do you, Zhang Yue, want to be?
The officials have given the answer, except Huang Shang, who will teach it!
A real man can change at any time. If you don’t take what God gives you, you will suffer the consequences!
Zhang Yue immediately stopped hesitating and said without giving in: "The Holy Emperor has a destiny, I dare not resign!"
Upon hearing this, Shi Deyi took a chair from the hand of the chamberlain and placed it respectfully beside the emperor.
Zhang Yue sat down on the chair brought by Shi Deyi, but instead of facing south, he sat facing west and sat next to the emperor.
The official nodded to Zhang Yue, and then said to Sun Yong: "Declaring a great victory for all people in Huangzhou!"
"Yes!" Sun Yong bowed and excused himself.
Zhang Yue sat in this seat and looked at Bianjing from a distance. The scenery suddenly changed. Zhang Yue looked around and happened to meet the eyes of the ministers at Xi Duo Tower.
The night view of the Lantern Festival is even more beautiful!
…
When the princes in Duolou saw Zhang Yue sitting next to the official, they were filled with thoughts.
Although everyone's expressions remain unchanged, as if the clouds are calm and the breeze is light, the feelings in their hearts are very complicated. Whether it is Yuan Jiang and Feng Jing on the steps, or Li Chengzhi and Wang Lian at the bottom, their expressions are extremely complicated.
Everyone managed their expressions well, but Li Chengzhi was in a daze for a long time, then shook his head and smiled to himself.
When Empress Dowager Gao of Dongduo Tower saw Zhang Yue sitting next to the officials, she frowned and felt that Zhang Yue's move was a bit presumptuous. She immediately said to her nephews, "It's fine if the officials are happy."
In the colorful shed below Xuande, the officials' families were still discussing whether the victory just announced was true or false.
Cai Jing was sitting at the colorful shed on the other side, looking at Zhang Yue who was sitting next to the emperor.
Cai Jing said to himself: "My lord, I should have lived here long ago!"
“I’ve met Cai Jianzheng!”
Cai Jing turned around to look, and it turned out to be Kumamoto from the Sinong Temple. At this moment, Kumamoto felt a little unnatural, but he still asked: "Did Huangzhou win?"
Cai Jing smiled. Is this still the domineering Kumamoto who declared that one word of military law should not be changed, otherwise the world would be in chaos?
Cai Jing didn't mean the slightest bit of ridicule. He stepped forward, took Xiong Ben's hand and said, "Brother Botong, Cai has been waiting for you for a long time!"
Kumamoto showed a bitter look when he heard this and said: "I want to talk to you Gencho about the military law again."
"If we want to change the service law, the real problem is not Sinong Temple, but the prefectures and counties..."
Cai Jing said: "I know that it is easy to give up power but difficult to take it back! But thousands of difficulties also start from the easy."
…
While he was talking, the news of victory had already spread among the people.
The officer who had just announced the victory was rewarded with a large amount of money on the spot. Sun Yong also ordered people to reward him with drinks. The soldier went crazy with joy.
Sun Yong, the prefect of Kaifeng Prefecture, also confirmed the news to the people. When Ali Gu was captured alive, Dong Felt surrendered and was released. After learning that the Song army had captured the entire Qingtang Dynasty, the people were excited.
Sun Yong originally asked his soldiers to spread the word, but he underestimated the joy of the people.
People went through the streets and alleys to announce the news.
In the wine shop and on the balcony, the people all heard the news, and the young men even shouted in the city: "The army captured Huangzhou and captured Ali's bones alive."
The people laughed heartily and toasted to celebrate this festive occasion.
Many people even rushed to the Xuande Gate and shouted congratulations to Guanjiashan who was sitting in the brightly lit place, shouting long live.
The official sat on the imperial couch and his mouth was filled with joy, but he still maintained the emperor's demeanor and waved to the people who greeted him. Seeing that the people were so supportive, the official looked back with a smile and said to Zhang Yue who was sitting beside him: "Your Majesty
You have done a great job, I will reward you generously!"
