Wang Anshi and Zhang Yue were completely different to the official family.
In front of Wang Anshi, the officials were like his students. Whatever Wang Anshi said, the officials would do what he wanted. Sometimes the officials did not even dare to object.
As for Zhang Yue, the official relationship with him was not only a monarch but also a friend.
Zhang Yue gave advice to the officials, and today he used practical actions to support his idea of becoming a promising king.
Regarding Wang Anshi, the officials planned to appoint him as a counselor in political affairs, but Wang Anshi was calm and unfazed.
Senior officials like Sima Guang and Wang Anshi, who have high qualifications and high prestige, serve as Hanlin bachelors and senior officials such as counselors and political affairs ministers. They have already achieved sufficient qualifications, so they will not be very grateful if they are promoted to their official positions. What's more, they will not be very grateful.
There is not much that the officials can give them.
But Zhang Yue is different. An official to be made is enough to make the other party burst into tears of gratitude. What if the next step is to know how to make a imperial edict? Or even a Hanlin bachelor's degree?
There is still a lot more that the officials can give to Zhang Yue.
Why do we say that one emperor and one courtier is because it is difficult for the old emperor and the new emperor to influence you, and they will always criticize you and argue with you.
Zhang Yue is not qualified enough, so this time he was promoted to a waiting list. Are the officials not clear about this?
The official knew exactly that he wanted to use this method to show his power as an official to the officials, and at the same time make Zhang Yue grateful to him.
Riding and shooting in Hufu, imitating King Wuling of Zhao, starting from changing customs and changing customs, and became a promising king.
Zhang Yue thanked Tianen in front of Hufu today, which was really in line with the official's wishes.
What Zhang Qing said was exactly what I wanted. When the words came to the official's lips, he finally did not express his thoughts easily, but looked at Zeng Gongliang and Wang Anshi.
Zeng Gongliang said: "Your Majesty, there is a saying in Zuo Zhuan that if you practice the method in Liang, the disadvantages will be the same as greed. If the method is based on greed, the disadvantages will be the same. Changing customs is out of your Majesty's good intentions, but you still need to be careful."
Wang Anshi said: "Your Majesty, what kind of lord is King Wuling of Zhao? He is just a prince in the Warring States Period. He acted in a confused manner in the matter of establishing a crown prince. He is determined to change, but also has the indecision of a woman, going back on his word..."
Zhang Yuexin said that Wang Anshi's temperament is still the same as before!
Taizong of the Tang Dynasty and King Wuling of Zhao are all scum. Zhuge Liang and Wei Zheng are not worth mentioning either.
It's quite expected.
However, Zhang Yue is different today. In the past, there was a huge gap in status and it was difficult to argue with him. Now, when Zhang Yue was about to refute, he heard Wang Anshi speak again.
"...However, King Zhao Wuling's change of customs, I think it can be punished."
After Zhang Yue heard this sentence that he was about to refute, he took it back.
Zhang Yue was full of doubts, thinking that this was not Wang Anshi's temperament. Could it be that he was beginning to have some scruples about me too?
The officials were even more happy after hearing Wang Anshi's words. He knew that it was quite rare for Zhang Yue's move to have a neutral opinion among the ministers.
The official said to the servant: "Bring me the duck I played with today."
The waiter said something and immediately took out a belt with a quilt.
The belt is a must-have for officials in the Tang Dynasty. There are loops on the belt to hang things. Generally, officials in the Tang Dynasty wore seven items. This is also called the seven things of the belt, namely saber, knife, sharpening stone, Qibizhen, and Xi.
Jue, syringe, and flint are also.
The riding belt was also introduced from Hu earlier. When Li Yuan, Emperor Gaozu of the Tang Dynasty, raised an army in Taiyuan, he had two thousand cavalry who imitated the nomadic cavalry. These seven steps were learned from Hu cavalry.
Later, Li Yuan conquered the world, and this belt became the standard equipment for officials in the Tang Dynasty.
In the Song Dynasty, although officials did not wear the belt, the belt still imitated the belt, and the officials used the tart tail on the belt as a mark of status.
The official personally gave the golden sash in his hand to Zhang Yue. The reason for this is that I appreciate your move very much.
But the official said: "Zhang Qing, you have long boots and narrow sleeves, but you are missing this crotch belt. I will give it to you today, and you will wear it when you come to court!"
Zhang Yue knew that in another time and space, this official had always been very generous to officials who supported his reforms.
Zhang Yue stepped aside.
Zeng Gongliang said: "Your Majesty, the master of the banquet today mentioned that when Zengzi was about to die, the table he was lying on was used by the scholar-bureaucrats. Zengzi refused to use it. He got up to change the table and died of illness before he could lie down properly."
"It can be seen from this that etiquette is a major matter for the country and cannot be easily changed."
The official nodded and said, "What do you think, Wang Qing?"
Wang Anshi said: "Your Majesty, the sages follow the rites with righteousness, and the details are found between the bedclothes. Zengzi followed the rites unchanged until his death. It can be seen that the gentleman follows the rites with benevolence. However, the rites mentioned in the Jingyan today are so complicated that I feel that they are not as good as
Talking about Shangshu is regarded as the study of emperors."
Zhang Yue thought to himself that Zeng Gongliang was the one who recommended you to the court. Wang Anshi, how could you even defy him?
Zeng Gongliang glanced at Wang Anshi and said nothing.
Officials knew that Wang Anshi had changed his teachings from the Book of Rites to the Book of Rites many times in front of him, but it was Zeng Gongliang who decided to give lectures on the Book of Rites when he was Prime Minister after Han Qi resigned.
According to the rules, Wang Anshi opposed Zeng Gongliang's ideas today.
The two argued about this matter in front of the emperor.
Such a fight between gods was no longer something Zhang Yue could worry about, so he listened as if he were watching a show.
This time Zeng Gongliang argued with Wang Anshi. Thanks to Wang Anshi's eloquence and persistence, the official family finally chose to support Wang Anshi. After that, the banquet changed to Shangshu.
The three then resigned.
After Zhang Yue paid his respects to the emperor, in addition to thanking the officials, he also had to go to the Zhengshitang. Therefore, after Zhang Yue returned to Tianzhang Pavilion for a short rest, he went to the Zhengshitang to meet the three lieutenants and thank them for their support.
The prime minister's etiquette is superior to that of other officials, and the etiquette of meeting officials is second only to that of the emperor.
However, Zhang Yue's participation in the ceremony was different after he was promoted to the rank of waiter. For example, before meeting the prime minister in the past, the officials in Zhongshu Province had to shout "bow", and then Zhang Yue had to walk quickly into the hall to pay homage to the prime minister, and bowed.
But now that Zhang Yue has arrived at Zhongshu Province, the officials know that Zhang Yue is waiting to be made. They just say, "Please wait for the making of Tianzhang Pavilion."
After Zhang Yue entered the political hall, he went to the public rooms where the three prime ministers worked and saluted and thanked them.
The three prime ministers were all very polite. Even though Zhang Yue came to thank him briefly, they did not let Zhang Yue stand. Instead, they asked him to sit down and talk.
Zhang Yue exchanged a few words with Zeng Gongliang, and Zhang Yue drank a cup of tea and then left.
When he arrived at Zhao Xian's place, the other party chatted with him for a few more words.
Finally, we arrived in front of Tang Jie, who had a long conversation with Zhang Yue, during which time the officials kept serving tea.
Zhang Yue only took a few sips of a bowl of tea soup. Soon the waiter brought another bowl of tea soup, and three bowls of tea soup in a row.
Zhang Yue couldn't help but feel the value of being controlled, which he had never experienced before as a court official.
After thanking the officials and prime minister, Zhang Yue took office.
Later, in the southern suburbs, the officials issued an edict to reduce the number of officials, and the concubines requested favors.
At the same time, the rewards for the southern suburbs of the clan were also reduced.
Zhang Yue recalled the Seventeenth Mother's decision not to allow him to ask for the title of County Lord for him, and he felt deeply that the Seventeenth Mother was really foresighted.
