Five hundred and ninety-six chapters are called to the right
Zhang Zhi arrived in Beijing in November.
After arriving in Beijing, Zhang Zhi stayed in the Chaoji Courtyard to wait for the meeting.
He was appointed as the Yunzhou Observation and Promotion Officer and then returned to Beijing to resume his duties.
Zhang Zhi originally had a calm temperament, but after serving as an official for two years, he became even more steady.
In order to avoid gossip, he gave up his plan to visit his parents and Zhang Yue at home as soon as he arrived in the capital. According to the procedure, he reported to Hemen first, and then was sent to live in Chaojiyuan by Kaifeng Prefecture people.
When he arrived at Chaojiyuan, he knew that even though he was the provincial governor, his qualifications were still relatively young. There were so many officials in Chaojiyuan who had returned to the capital from other places and were waiting to be received by officials, and he could not be scheduled immediately. face saint.
Zhang Zhi also takes care of himself as he comes.
The buildings in the Chaojiyuan also have the same treatment for each level of officials.
In addition, Taizong had an order prohibiting officials in the Chaojiyuan from jumping in and seizing rooms for personal gain. Therefore, the Chaojiyuan arranged rooms in the order in which officials arriving in Beijing were received, and gave priority to officials from remote places who came to Beijing.
If there is any violation, the three divisions and Yushitai can impeach.
Because Zhang Zhi had just arrived, all the rooms at the same level as him had been booked, and since he had no family or followers, Chaojiyuan arranged a room for him.
Zhang Zhi knew about it and had no objection, so he took two of his personal followers and stayed in the lower house, as well as two soldiers from Kaifeng Prefecture who accompanied Zhi.
They were responsible for controlling Zhang Zhi's access and not allowing him to visit privately.
But Zhang Zhi found that not only could he not enter or leave the Chaoji courtyard, but the officials within the courtyard could not move around either.
In the past, officials stayed in Chaojiyuan and traveled day and night with officials from the same hospital. They felt like brothers, so they made friends with each other and recommended each other. It was like two people staying in the same hotel together, and everyone naturally became familiar with each other.
But now the atmosphere is very different.
When officials in the Chaoji Courtyard visit each other, they are often followed by court officials to keep an eye on them.
Zhang Zhi felt strange. After asking an official, he learned that the imperial court had recently enacted a reform. Many officials who came to Beijing from various places were opposed to the new law. In order to prevent them from making friends with each other and forming cliques to discuss government affairs, even the exchanges between officials within the court were monitored by court officials. .
Zhang Zhi was surprised when he heard this. Wang Anshi had only been prime minister for less than a year, and he was not even allowed to speak and discuss politics normally?
Zhang Zhi was also bored in every possible way, although Zhang Shi, his wife and Zhang Yue both asked people to bring them food.
In order to avoid suspicion, Zhang Zhi didn't even dare to eat, so he went back.
Although these are no hindrances, Zhang Zhi always tries to be as cautious as possible.
That night, Zhang was lighting a lamp and reading in his room. Suddenly he heard a commotion in the next room. It turned out that another official had moved into the lower room.
Zhang Zhi's follower couldn't help but said angrily: "These court officials look down on them..."
Zhang Zhi waved his hand to signal others to keep quiet and said: "It's the end of the year soon, and the officials are rushing back to Beijing at this time. Let's just squeeze in with them."
But when he saw the lights outside and the courtyard official opening the door, Zhang Zhi walked to the door curtain to see who was staying in the side room.
This time, I actually met an old friend.
Zhang Zhi opened the curtain and walked out. The official was very dissatisfied because he was living in the same house with others, but his expression changed when he saw Zhang Zhi coming out.
It was Zhang Zhi who spoke first: "Uncle Chu!"
The other party was Zhang Kai. He was a little embarrassed when he saw Zhang Zhi, but he still said: "It's Zizheng!"
The hospital official smiled and said: "Since you are familiar with each other, it would be perfect if we just happen to talk together in bed together."
After saying this, the court officials bowed to the two of them and then left the lower chamber.
Zhang Zhi and Zhang Kai were sitting across from each other in the room.
Zhang Kai ordered his servants to get the wine bag and said, "I just came back from Shaanxi. This old wine from Guanxi is very strong. Do you want to eat it?"
Zhang Zhi nodded.
Zhang Kai poured the wine into the wine bowl, and the two drank from the bowl. Zhang Zhi's throat was stung and he coughed several times.
Zhang Kai laughed when he saw this, and then said: "I went to Shaanxi to lift Chang Pingcang, but I saw that the people of Shaanxi are really suffering..."
Zhang Zhi nodded and poured wine for Zhang Kai.
Zhang Kai talked about the customs and customs of Shaanxi, and Zhang Zhi couldn't help but be fascinated by it.
But in the middle of the sentence, Zhang Kai suddenly smashed the wine bowl and said: "I hate the Western bandits for bullying others too much. One day I will destroy this bandit."
After hearing what Zhang Kai said, Zhang Zhi couldn't help but ask questions. When talking about the Xixia Kou Bian, he couldn't help but feel indignant. I, the great Song Dynasty, was actually bullied to this extent by a small fan.
Zhang Kai spoke very highly of Wang Shao, who had made many military exploits in the northwest. He said that he had made great achievements in his life, awarded him robes of honor, and made great contributions to the army. His ambitions were far greater than those of Ban Ding.
That night Zhang Zhi and Zhang Qi drank and drank all night.
Zhang Zhi was so drunk that he slept till the third day of the sun when he suddenly heard someone knocking on the door outside.
"Mr. Zhang!"
"Mr. Zhang!"
Zhang Zhi fell asleep and was lost in the lake, wondering who called me.
But I heard someone say: "This is a bitter experience! The more times your Majesty summons the right person, Zhang Gong actually gets very drunk!"
"If you meet me like this, wouldn't it be disrespectful?"
As soon as Zhang Zhi heard the words 'Yueci summoned the right', his whole body was agitated, and he immediately got up and asked, "Who Yueci summoned?"
After Zhang Zhi was hungover, his eyes were still wet.
But the people on the left and right were overjoyed and said: "Mr. Zhang is awake, awake, please bring me a bowl of sobering soup!"
Before Zhang Zhi could speak, a bowl of hangover soup was poured into his mouth, and then cold water was applied to his face.
Only then did Zhang Zhi open his eyes, but he saw that the court officials who had been perfunctory and indifferent the day before had now become polite and respectful, and standing beside him was a gatekeeper.
But when he saw this official, he said to Zhang Zhi with a kind face: "This is Zhang Tuiguan. After His Majesty heard that you arrived in Beijing, he made an exception and summoned the right officials again and again. Do you know how many other handsome ministers are ahead of you?"
, it’s still being scheduled.”
Zhang Zhi was surprised when he heard this.
What a courtesy it is to be summoned again and again.
Moreover, he was just a candidate for an official position. Even though he was a provincial minister, he had not been tested by the palace or appointed by the emperor, but he was able to be summoned by the officials on an exceptional basis above the generals.
This is completely unreasonable.
Zhang Zhi had a look on his face. He originally thought that he would not be able to see the emperor until at least ten days later, but he did not expect that it would be earlier than expected. He had known that he would not drink last night.
Zhang Kaizi, who was on the side, also lamented that he was also the provincial minister. Although he was the provincial minister in the lock-down examination, he had already served two terms.
This time when I return to Beijing, I can try out for a library job.
Zhang Dun was ready to recommend himself to Wang Anshi.
But compared with Zhang Zhi's repeated summons, he still lost a lot. Zhang Kai expected that it was Zhang Zhi who Zhang Yue recommended to the officials.
Zhang Kai said to Zhang Zhi: "Zizheng is a favor from the official family, so he should enter the palace quickly!"
The gate official on the side saw Zhang Kai and couldn't help but inquire about him. Zhang Kai reported his name, and the other party happily said: "He is also a descendant of the Zhang family in Pucheng. I am very familiar with Zhang Daizhi on weekdays."
Zhang Kai smiled awkwardly when he heard this, and he didn't know what to say.
Because Zhang Zhi abandoned the exam, Zhang Yue was very angry with him, and he was too embarrassed to visit Zhang Yue.
The official Hemen mentioned Zhang Yue a few words, but when Zhang Yue didn't answer, he stopped talking. In fact, he and Zhang Yue only met each other a few times, but now Zhang Yue holds a lot of weight in the official's heart. Everyone here knows about it, so they use it to flatter themselves.
So Zhang Zhi hurriedly entered the palace.
For Zhang Zhi, meeting the saint for the first time was still very uneasy.
As he walked along the palace road along Hemen Road, he couldn't help but peek around to see if he could see Zhang Yue.
But it's a pity that Zhang Zhi didn't meet him along the way.
When he arrived at the Zizheng Hall, Zhang Zhi did not dare to look at the emperor on the throne, and just bowed and saluted like this.
"Zhang Qing, please get back on your feet!"
Zhang Zhi heard a somewhat familiar voice coming into his ears. Zhang Zhi thought to himself, why does this official's voice sound so much like an old friend of his?
After I became a Jinshi, I had been exchanging letters with this old friend, but when I wanted to come to see him, for some reason he refused to meet.
"I accept the decree."
Zhang Zhi stood up.
"Please step aside, Zhang Qing and I have a few questions to ask!"
After the servants left, Zhang Zhi continued to stare hard at the floor tiles.
At this time, the official walked up to him and suddenly reached out and patted him on the shoulder.
Zhang Zhi was immediately startled. This was a very intimate gesture between friends...
When Zhang Zhi raised his head, he saw the official looking at him with a half-smile.
"Zhou... Zhou..." Zhang Zhi was so surprised that he could hardly close his mouth.
After waiting for many years, the officials just wanted to see Zhang Zhi's expression, as if it was a joke he had made with his childhood friend, which was only fulfilled when he became an adult.
This is a refreshing feeling, which makes the official family enjoy it.
"Your Majesty, you...it's so hard for you to keep this secret from me!" Zhang Zhi blushed furiously, feeling angry that he had been fooled.
The official laughed and said, "Hey, Zhang Qing, don't blame me. I'm just joking with you. Don't blame your third uncle. I asked him to keep it a secret from you."
"Well, if you had known that Your Majesty was my childhood friend, you would have been so worried for a long time before you hurt me."
Zhang Zhi quickly calmed down and asked with concern: "Your Majesty, how have you been doing these years?"
The official shook his head and said: "It's not very good. When you went to take the imperial examination, the late emperor passed away. I was very sad for a while. The burden of the world was on my shoulders, and there were not many people around me who could trust me. Of course, your uncle is a
, it is great that you have come back to the court now. I am short of people around me!"
"Tell me, you can choose whatever official you want to be. This is what I promised you back then!"
Zhang Zhi couldn't help but smile. When they were in Zhang Yue's study, they couldn't help but talk a lot.
Whatever happens to me in the future will be decided by you.
Anyway, it’s just bragging about how rich dogs are and how they bark at each other.
This is the most normal thing to say among teenage playmates. But when you grow up, no one will take such words seriously, but the memories are always so beautiful.
Zhang Zhi also didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He thought for a while and said seriously: "Your Majesty and the prime minister should discuss the appointment of officials in the imperial court. There is an order in it, and I dare not violate it."
Zhang Zhi's words were a duel between the roles of monarch and minister, not a conversation between friends.
The official nodded. He knew that the appointment of officials must comply with the procedures. Even as an emperor, he could not promote or demote officials at will.
But the official still wanted to show off in front of his friends and said: "You tell me first, I will definitely do it for you."
Zhang Zhi said: "Then I will tell you."
The official nodded and said, "You have nothing to say."
Zhang Zhi said: "I want to go to the northwest, defeat the bandits in the west, and make great achievements!"
The official was surprised when he heard this and asked: "If you go to the northwest, why don't you stay in the capital?"
"Now that I am in the prime of employing people, how come you leave me again!"
