After granting the order of worship, the official said to Zhang Yue: "I am ill, so I will entrust the state affairs to you and Prime Minister Wang these days!"
Zhang Yue said: "I will live up to my orders."
The official nodded, and Zhang Yue resigned.
After Zhang Yue left, the official suddenly covered his face and cried, and Shi De said: "Your Majesty..."
The official shed tears and said: "Shi De immediately ordered the Daxiangguo Temple to hold a ritual ceremony to commemorate the soldiers who died on Yanyan Road."
"yes."
When Zhang Yue finished meeting the saint, the official's complexion had improved a lot. With the help of Shi Deyi, he sat up and took some medicinal food.
When the imperial doctor came in to inspect and diagnose the disease, all his faces were happy, and he immediately prescribed medicine for the official to continue his recovery.
The empress dowagers and empresses of the two palaces, who had been waiting at the back of the palace to inquire about the news, and the Zhaorong Zhu family's palace servants got the news and immediately reported back to their respective masters.
Zhang Mao then personally sent Zhang Yue out of the palace and said to Zhang Yue: "Our family knows that Mr. Zhang never disappoints."
Zhang Yue said with a smile: "Thanks to the Empress Dowager for her trust and respect for me."
"A veteran of the three dynasties of Zhang Gong, he is certainly worth it!"
Zhang Mao watched Zhang Yue's back gradually disappearing into the rain and said, "It's time for a new atmosphere in the DPRK!"
…
After Zhang Yue walked out of the palace, the heavy rain continued without stopping, and Cai Bian followed him closely.
Many people express an attitude through a detail.
Zhang Yue said to Cai Bian: "Yuandu, Han Feizi has said that speaking without knowing is unwise, knowing but not speaking is unfaithful. What do you want to say to me?"
Cai Bian said: "Mr. Zhang, I see that my brother and I are loyal to our husband."
Zhang Yue said: "Yuandu, I have also been a humble official until today. I have walked the path you have walked, and I have also had all your thoughts."
Cai Bian's expression changed.
Zhang Yue said with a smile: "Zhuge Liang served in Shu, and Zhuge Jin served in Wu. Both brothers have power over one another. Very good, very good!"
"Mr. Zhang!"
Zhang Yue stretched out his hand and pressed it and said, "I have been away from Zhongshu for nearly a year. I understand how difficult it is for Yuan Chang to serve the King and Prime Minister alone in Zhongshu."
"We are changing places, and so am I. Tell Yuan Chang not to take it to heart. From now on, when we get along with Zhongshu, I will still treat him as before."
Sweat is pouring from Cai Bian's forehead. Don't you take it to heart?
Zhang Yue said he didn't care about this, but do you really think he didn't care?
With Zhang Yue's current situation, as long as he has a trace of concern in his heart, it will be a huge disaster in the future.
You have to know how to listen to what you say, because when you are in his position, you will kill people without blood.
Seeing Cai Bian still looking confused, Zhang Yue thought to himself, okay, it seems that neither brother will believe what he said now.
There is a saying: What does it mean to have seen the world?
There is a saying that the calmness and calmness when you face the unfolding of human nature is the only way to see the world.
After speaking, the servants on the left and right surrounded Zhang Yue and left, leaving Cai Bian alone in front of the palace door in despair.
"Yuandu!"
Cai Bian saw Zhang Yue turning around, waving to him with a smile, and immediately followed him with his eyes fixed.
But seeing Zhang Yue descending the steps calmly, Cai Bian followed closely, following suit.
Through the heavy rain, Zhang Yue looked at the endless sky and said, "Yuandu, do you know? A country is strong by winning over others."
"In the imperial court, as long as there are one or two people who go for righteousness, they will lead the whole world to go for righteousness. If one or two people's hearts are toward benevolence, then everyone's hearts will be toward benevolence. Therefore, if everyone follows the trend and the trend follows, then a great achievement can be achieved.
event!"
"For the rejuvenation of the Gufan Kingdom, there must be countless hard-working righteous people who can pioneer reforms and lead the world's righteousness."
Cai Bian Zhengse said: "Bian Chenggong's teachings must be done for the country and the people without hesitation."
As the two of them walked down the steps, they saw that the rain had subsided step by step from the heavy downpour just now. When Zhang Yue stepped to the square, the rain had already passed and the mist had dispersed.
The people in the palace on the left and right all smiled and said, "It's finally sunny."
"It rained so hard before that it felt like the sky had opened."
Everyone's faces were filled with joy.
It was as if the chilling atmosphere between heaven and earth had diminished a bit in an instant.
Seeing the water dripping from the eaves of the palace, Zhang Yue ordered his umbrellas to be withdrawn, and stopped to gaze at the sunlight just passing through the bright clouds. Zhang Yue stared for a moment, and said to Cai Bian: "Yuandu, I suddenly remembered that it snowed last year, and you came to my house to investigate.
You and I have been talking for a long time."
"Today I regret that I have grown old and am nearly forty-years-old, but still have accomplished nothing. Today I feel inspired to express my feelings. I am not only giving you a poem, but it is also a statement of my aspirations!"
Zhang Yue paused and said.
"Boss, that can be said. Now, the smell of Yuanlong and the entanglement of Meng Gong. I, the sick king, come to sing and drink, startling the flying snow above the building. I laugh at the wealth and great fortune. Who will listen to the hard words? I remember at that time,
There is only the moon in the west window. Let’s drink wine again and play the harp instead.”
"Things are the same and people's hearts are different. I asked Qu Nong: After all, how many separations and separations have there been in China? No one cares about the sweat, blood, and salt trucks, and the bones of the horses are collected in thousands of miles. The rivers and rivers are cut off with our eyes. I pity you most, Zhongxiaowu, and said: "
A man’s determination to die is as strong as iron. Let’s try our hand to mend the cracks in the sky.”
"Try your hand and mend the cracks in the sky!" Cai Bian repeated these two sentences in a daze, looking at the light shining through the heavy clouds on the horizon.
Looking again, Zhang Yue has left.
Cai Bian looked at Zhang Yue's back and said: "Zhang Gong's generosity and heroic spirit are comparable to those of the two ZTE prime ministers Yao Chong and Song Jing, and Xiangye is even better than them!"
Cai Bian then thought about the words Zhang Yue sent to him, which contained the importance of him, and suddenly felt his heart surge.
…
After Zhang Yue returned to his mansion by car, he immediately ordered his people to close the mansion and not allow anyone to come in or out.
No one is allowed to leave, and no one is allowed to enter.
Tomorrow is the New Year's Eve. The Hanlin and the chamberlain who drafted the edict have all been locked up. Although I am going home, I can't let any news out. Who knows what will happen before this last night?
Zhang Yue was sitting in the hall, and Zhang Shi and Yu came up to ask.
Zhang Yue did not dare to tell them the news of the defeat at Yanyan Road, lest they worry about Zhang Zhi. Zhang Yue covered it up with a few words, and the Seventeenth Mother came up to help him change his clothes.
Although Zhang Yue didn't reveal a single word, Qi Niang was such a smart person and she had already guessed it, her eyes sparkling.
When Zhang Yue saw Qi Niang's appearance, he knew that she already knew, and he immediately embraced her and said:
The Seventeenth Mother joked: "Official, you are thinking of a good prime minister because of the national calamity!"
Zhang Yue smiled slightly, and he remembered that there was another sentence to this sentence: "If there is nothing, there will be no beauty; if there is nothing, summer will welcome spring."
Zhang Yue said: "I am not afraid of being used by others, nor am I afraid of being abandoned."
"Madam, I have thought about it. I will be the prime minister for five to seven years. After Xia is exterminated, I will choose another one to take over!"
"In this way, I can retire. When the time comes, I will travel around the world with you, my wife, and entertain my grandchildren, and I will never be involved in government affairs again. Do you agree?"
The Seventeenth Mother smiled sweetly and said, "Really? Are you trying to trick me, sir? Your position is easy to get up and hard to get down from."
Zhang Yueshi smiled and said: "What's so difficult about it? Wang Jiefu, Han Wei Gong, and Fu Zheng Gong can all retreat, but I can't?"
"Is it possible to be like Zhuge Wuhou, who devoted himself to death and died?"
The Seventeenth Mother shook her head with tears in her eyes and said: "Guanren..."
Zhang Yue asked in surprise: "Madam, why are you crying?"
The Seventeenth Mother said: "My lord, there is something I shouldn't say, but I'm afraid you will do this."
"So many people have been lost on the Yanyan Road, and the Western bandits are so arrogant. Don't be discouraged. One day, I will follow the lead of Marquis Zhuge Wu and lead the expedition himself! We will also come out of Qishan six times."
Zhang Yue laughed when he heard this: "Don't worry, madam, I won't do this."
Zhang Yue wiped away Seventeen Niang's tears and rubbed her into his arms.
At this time, food was brought to the kitchen, and Zhang Yue and Qi Niang ate some food with some wine. The couple ate and chatted, watching the sky get darker little by little.
It's also strange that it rained so heavily during the day, but it didn't rain again at night.
Even the clouds gradually dispersed.
The couple held hands and looked at the scenery outside the window. The gentle breeze filled their bodies with fragrance, and red candles were swaying inside the house.
Zhang Yue suddenly felt that there was a bright light in the courtyard. He looked curiously and saw that a full moon was in the sky, illuminating the entire courtyard. The moonlight was like a prairie, and the vast rays of light instantly illuminated countless eaves of Qionglou.
The clouds follow the moon. I don’t know whether the clouds are chasing the moon or the moon is chasing the clouds.
There were countless dignitaries and families in Bianjing City who all moved out of their homes to look up at the beautiful moon.
Zhang Yue felt that this scene was very suitable for the occasion.
The Seventeenth Mother looked at Zhang Yue and said with a smile: "On the third and fifth day of the year, we reunite, and the jade railing is protected by a handful of sunshine. It was only brought out by the sky, and all the people in the world looked up."
Zhang Yue was greatly embarrassed when he heard this. He wrote this poem when he went to Wu's house.
This poem vividly describes his ambition as a scholar of the Han family who is eager to get ahead.
Unexpectedly, Seventeenth Mother would use this poem to make fun of herself, and Zhang Yue couldn't help but feel a little ashamed at this moment.
Zhang Yue said: "Madam, this is how I am."
Seventeenth Mother said: "I know, your second brother was also at the dinner at that time."
Zhang Yue nodded. Now he sees many things from a different perspective than he did back then.
What seemed like a big deal at the time now seems trivial.
The couple admired the moon.
"My lord, let's go get some sleep!"
Zhang Yue shook his head and said, "How can I sleep at this moment?"
Seventeenth Mother smiled and said: "I can't sleep, but I can rest my mind by closing my eyes!"
Zhang Yue agreed and went back to the couch to close his eyes. As expected, there were many things in his mind. Seventeenth Mother lay beside him.
Before you know it, the moon has reached the west and the third watch has sounded.
Zhang Yue took a nap for a while and then heard rustling sounds coming from outside the house. I don't know how many people were busy that night.
The Seventeenth Mother was already up and busy.
After Zhang Yue put on his purple robe again, it was still dark. Peng Jingyi held up a lantern to guide the way, and Seventeen Niang followed behind him.
When the door of the mansion opened, I saw that the road in front of the mansion had been paved with sand again.
An unknown number of officials and officers from Kaifeng Prefecture were busy here all night long, using carts and horses to spread sand on the road and build a sand path directly to the palace gate.
This sand path is called a sand bank.
The road is paved on the sand embankment, which is a treatment that only the prime minister can receive except the worshiper.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Yue couldn't help but said: "The nine-layered city of Longlou and Fengge has a newly built sand embankment for the prime minister to go to. I am a noble and honorable king, and I cannot envy you. I was a scholar twenty years ago."
The Seventeenth Mother looked at Zhang Yue and said jokingly: "I want to say it again, did the officials think of today twenty years ago?"
Zhang Yue smiled and shook his head and said, "My wife is making fun of me again!"
Zhang Yue looked into the distance. The anxious scholar who stood in front of the Wu Mansion twenty years ago was about to walk across the newly built sand embankment to pay homage to the prime minister.
