Chapter Five Hundred and Thirty Risks of Referring
"Zhang Qing, why do you look like this?"
The officials looked at Zhang Yue with a ferocious expression.
"Chen... Chen almost choked..."
Hearing Zhang Yue's words, the waiters on the side smiled, while the officials laughed.
"Hasn't Zhang Qing ever eaten it before? So when the imperial chef makes sheep intestine soup cakes, he always sends a bowl to Tianzhang Pavilion."
Zhang Yue said quickly: "I thanked Your Majesty. It was not him but Your Majesty who asked me. I just had a candidate in my heart!"
When the officials heard this, they immediately asked: "Who is the person who can make Zhang Qing lose his temper to this extent?"
Zhang Yue said: "Your Majesty, this person is Wang Shao, who is now the judge of the Xiongwu Army in Qinzhou and knows the ancient Wei Village."
"Wang Shao?" Guan Jia seemed to have heard this name somewhere. Yes, he remembered it.
It turns out that in the third year of Zhiping, Xixia Shengxi made the city to protect the Tai army, and Li Liangzuo used his consort Yu to hide the flowers and hemp to guard it.
The Western Envoy City is only 120 miles away from the ancient Weizhai. Li Liangzuo not only built a government office and warehouses and grain storage here, he also moved the headquarters of the Baotai Army here and ordered his consort to guard the place for the general army.
, it can be seen that he is actively planning to advance eastward.
Xue Xiang once suggested strengthening the defense of the ancient Wei stronghold.
The officials didn't know about the ancient Weizhai, so they asked officials who were familiar with military affairs. They learned that the ancient Weizhai was originally called Weizhou, and it fell to Tubo when it reached Germany.
In the first year of the emperor's reign, Lin Zang, a local Fan, offended the Xixia people and donated land to the Song Dynasty, so the Song Dynasty obtained this land.
At that time, court officials also had a heated debate over whether to retain the ancient Weichai Village. Lü Gongzhu's elder brothers, Lü Gongchuo and Liu Chang, both opposed it.
Even Fan Xiang, who took over the old Weizhai and built a fort here, was demoted as a result.
The officials couldn't help but get angry when they saw it. They had not done anything for the imperial court to open up territory and expand the territory, and they were going to be demoted. Later they learned that Wang Shao had asked the imperial court to be stationed in this ancient Weichai village. With just a few hundred soldiers, a small village could actually
He recruited 30,000 tribesmen nearby, so he had an impression.
But this is just an impression, because Xue Xiang, the Shaanxi transport envoy, and Li Shizhong, the Qinfeng Road manager and pacifier, never mentioned Wang Shao at all.
It is impossible for the officials to go beyond the Shaanxi Road and Qinfeng Road chiefs to use a small section. Officials like Wang Shao appear in at least hundreds of memorials read by the officials every day, although there are quite a few.
Credit, but it's impossible to really take it seriously.
What's more, if the official wanted to promote Xue Xiang, he was opposed by a large number of people including Sima Guang in the DPRK, let alone appointing him over time.
Now that Wang Shao was recommended to the imperial court by Zhang Yue, he could finally be said to have truly listened to it.
But I saw that the official had taken out several zhazi from the bookcase beside the royal desk. The Zhazi had a brocade cover with white paper stuck in the middle.
One of them has two characters written in the middle: "Bian Shi".
The officials were about to spread out the documents about side affairs and the imperial case page by page, and finally turned to one-third of the page and wrote the word "Wang Shao" with the imperial pen, and before Wang Shao's name was
Planting seeds.
The more he didn't see all these chapters, he would turn his back knowingly when he saw the official writing the zhazi. After the official finished writing, he said a few words to the people beside him.
Then the official asked Zhang Yue, "How is Wang Shao?"
Zhang Yue told the story of his acquaintance with Wang Shao. Soon he learned about Zhi Gao, and his fellow practitioners lived in Shao.
After the official asked Zhang Yue, he asked Shao Bi: "How does Qinzhou judge Wang Shao?"
Zhang Yue also knew that officials could not rely on their own opinions and had to listen to different opinions.
Shao Bi thought for a while and talked about Wang Shao's resume, and then talked about Xue Xiang. Li Shizhong all said that Wang Shao was a bit unruly. Li Shizhong even thought that Wang Shao did not obey the orders of the Jinglue. It is easy to say that he did not obey the orders.
To put it more unpleasantly, it means supporting the troops and respecting oneself.
Zhang Yue couldn't help but frown after hearing this. Before Wang Shao went to Shaanxi, he repeatedly told him to be honest as an official, but he forgot to remind him to have a good relationship with his superiors.
As a result, Wang Shao actually left such a reputation in official circles.
You must know that the thing that the emperor of the Song Dynasty was most afraid of was the self-respect of military commanders. Although you, Wang Shao, are a civil servant, you can still be regarded as guarding one side. You have such a reputation. How can the court use you in the future?
anyway.
Didn't Xue Xiang give Zhang Yue a thousand salt notes every year?
Zhang Yue took the money from Xue Xiang with his left hand and gave it to Wang Shao with his right hand.
Now Zhang Yue has become a veritable creditor of Wang Shao. Not counting interest, Wang Shao owes Zhang Yue a full six thousand salt notes, half of which belongs to the Exchange and half to Zhang Yue.
According to the current market price of salt banknotes, which is ten guan per seat, Zhang Yue is owed approximately 60,000 guan, not counting interest.
This can be said to be Zhang Yue's entire net worth.
And this Wang Shao didn't even have the slightest sense of being a debtor. He never told Zhang Yue where the money had gone. Every time he wrote to Zhang Yue, he only emphasized one thing - sending money!
People who owe money are so awesome these days.
Zhang Yue is now like Wang Shao's angel investor. He has not made a dime from his investment so far, and instead has to look for investors everywhere.
It can be said that Zhang Yue recommended Wang Shao, and everyone had the same attitude. As for other Li Shizhongs, not to mention Xue Xiang, no wonder his reputation in officialdom was so poor.
If it doesn’t work well, it might even hurt myself in the future.
Sure enough, after listening to Shao Bi's words, the officials had a new understanding of Wang Shao.
Fortunately, Shao Bi said next, he heard that Li Shizhong was also harsh on his subordinates and used this as a pretext to repeatedly withhold grain and supplies sent to the ancient Weizhai.
The officials couldn't figure out whether there was something wrong with Li Shizhong or Wang Shao.
Zhang Yue quickly made amends: "Your Majesty, I remember that Wang Shao once said that he had a judgmental nature and did not like to be told what to do by others. When he was the chief administrator, he could not get along with the two county magistrates."
After hearing this, the official was finally relieved, and then said: "Since ancient times, capable ministers and generals like Huo Qubing have tempers. There is no need to mention trivial matters. Now I want to learn from Cao Cao and use meritocracy in hiring people."
Zhang Yue was also a little relieved. The recommender also has joint responsibilities. Don't think that nominating officials will bring glory. You will have to take responsibility for them if they make mistakes in the future. Zhang Yue secretly reminded himself that he must be cautious when recommending officials to officials in the future.
.
Later, the officials asked Shao Bi what he thought of accepting the surrender of the Weimingshan brothers and regaining Suizhou.
Shao Bi cited the incident in the ancient Weizhai.
After the establishment of the ancient Wei stronghold, the Song Dynasty and the Qing Tang Dynasty became enemies. In order to retaliate against the Song army for setting up the ancient Wei stronghold, the Qiang people of the Qing and Tang Dynasties broke through Guangwuling Fort and killed more than a thousand Song soldiers. Fan Xiang was dismissed from office after this incident.
Shao Bi's implication is that when the Song army established a stronghold in ancient Wei, they were still unable to win against the Qing and Tang Dynasties.
To recapture Suizhou would be to antagonize Xixia. How else would the imperial court defeat Xixia? What if Xixia, Qing and Tang invade at the same time? Your Majesty, please think carefully about it.
The officials were very disappointed after hearing Shao Bi's words. Shao Bi also knew that his intention was not in line with the officials, so he left immediately.
After Shao Bi left, the official said to Zhang Yue: "Zhang Qing planned the matter first. He appointed Wang Shao to guard the ancient Wei village and recruited tens of thousands of Tibetan tribes. It was a great achievement. The late emperor did not reward you, but I will remember it.
In the bottom of my heart.”
Zhang Yue was almost filled with anger, but he said: "How dare I ask for a reward for opening up territory for the imperial court and expanding its territory?"
The official looked at Zhang Yue and sighed, "It would be great if there were more ministers like Zhang Qing in the court who could serve the country."
