Six hundred and twentieth chapters and the tiger seek skin
"Our Jianyang tea is good, the tea cups are good, and the characters are even better. Today we are entertaining fellow villagers with our Jianyang tea cups!"
Dr. Tea served tea to the two of them, and Zhang Yue drank a cup. It was really sweet, and he couldn't help but praise: "Good tea!"
Chen Shengzhi smiled, and Wu Anshi smiled in agreement: "Mr. Chen said that the customs of our Jianzhou are naturally good." Zhang Yue smiled. Did Chen Shengzhi come to talk to him today about the customs and customs of his hometown, or how to cleanse his childish heart?
After everyone said a few words to set the stage for the atmosphere, Wu Anshi stood up and left.
This means that the conversation has entered into the main topic.
Chen Shengzhi said to Zhang Yue: "To put it bluntly, there are three levels of interaction between people in the world. The first level is for profit, just like two people making friends and each getting what they need. You helped me here, and I helped.
You go, this is an exchange of benefits."
"There is another level, which is human relations. It is the so-called king, relative, and teacher. I helped you because you are my people, or relatives, or students."
"There is another level, what can you know about you? That is appreciation! I don't ask for anything in return, but I cultivate you wholeheartedly. That's what I wanted you to be my nephew's book boy at the beginning."
Zhang Yue thought to himself, "A book boy is like a master and a servant. So you admire a person and want you to be his slave? You can see it today."
Chen Shengzhi said: "I have no heir, so my nephew is my heir. I asked Du to take care of my nephew at that time. I have no other intention."
Zhang Yue said: "Your nephew's name is Yu, and his nickname is Ziyouba. I heard that he has been appointed as Secretary and Provincial Secretary Lang."
Chen Shengzhi nodded and said: "Exactly."
"Then Mr. Chen, why do you ask me to serve you?"
Chen Shengzhi waved his hand and said: "It has nothing to do with my nephew..."
oh?
Zhang Yue thought he was being asked to take care of his nephew, but it happened that he had just been appointed as the imperial examiner.
Chen Shengzhi said: "Duzhi, I have a question to ask. The Changping new law that Lu Jifu and you discussed a few days ago was actually drafted by you, right?"
Zhang Yue said: "This..."
Chen Shengzhi smiled and said: "If you really save me, I will guess that it is you."
"Du Zhi is a man of great talent. It's a pity that I missed you back then, but... it's not too late now."
Zhang Yue asked: "Does Mr. Chen want to use it?"
Chen Shengzhi nodded and said: "When I came to Beijing as an official, Mr. Han mentioned you many times in his letters to me. Mr. Han does not oppose Jiefu's reform, but he opposes the Qingmiao Law and disturbs the people."
"Now Jiefu is using Lu Jifu to take charge of the affairs of the third department of regulations. This man is so ambitious that he first took away the merit of your exemption from military service, and now he also takes the merit of the young crops method. Don't you mind at all?"
Zhang Yue understood Chen Shengzhi's intention. Chen Shengzhi also wanted to change the law, but unlike Wang Anshi, he did not have a helper like Lu Huiqing around him, so he came to find him.
Zhang Yue thought to himself, this man is quite discerning.
Chen Shengzhi is a scheming person. He has a good relationship with his father-in-law Wu Chong. He is from the same hometown as him. He also has the mountain of Han Qi behind him. It is a good choice to join forces with him.
Chen Shengzhi saw that Zhang Yue was interested, so he asked: "It seems that the officials intend to use you to make imperial edicts, but Wang Anshi blocked it!"
Zhang Yue raised his eyebrows. He was aware of this. He believed that Chen Shengzhi's words were 70% to 80% true.
But Zhang Yue thought to himself that by siding with Chen Shengzhi, he was completely on the opposite side of Wang Anshi.
Zhang Yue asked: "Is Chen Gong more confident than Jie Fu?"
Chen Shengzhi said: "Except for the two official positions, there is only one official who can truly resign since the founding of the Song Dynasty. Therefore, not only Han Gong, Wen Gong, but also all the officials admired Sima Xueshi. From Emperor Renzong to the present day,
, have you ever seen anyone who can defeat Academician Sima, and can Wang Jiefu defeat Academician Sima?"
Zhang Yue thought to himself, yes, Wang Anshi may not be able to defeat Sima Guang. But Sima Guang doesn't like you either. The so-called Fujian people's cunning evaluation is directed at you.
It is also to blame that Chen Shengzhi offended too many people for Han Qi, which caused him to have a bad reputation in the court.
Chen Shengzhi said: "Now that Mr. Zeng has told me that he is sick, all officials know that we are against Wang Jiefu's Green Miao Law."
"Su Zizhan also hoped that Zeng Gong's palace said that Zeng Gong, as the prime minister of Zhaowen, could not suppress Wang Jiefu. However, Zeng Gong bluntly said that the official family and Wang Jiefu were like one, leaving him helpless. He participated in politics and forced Zhaowen to this point. Do you think he would still use his will?
How long will it take?"
After what Chen Shengzhi said, Zhang Yue was really moved, as if Wang Anshi was in a precarious situation. Most officials opposed his reforms, including not only his subordinates such as Cheng Hao, Li Chang, etc., but also his superiors.
Zeng Gongliang, Chen Shengzhi.
Except for official support, Wang Anshi seems to be about to capsize at any time.
If you join the camp against Wang Anshi at this time, it is indeed a good opportunity.
But... But Zhang Yue is a time traveler. He clearly knows that in history, Wang Anshi's resignation as prime minister was not opposed by Zeng Gongliang, Sima Guang, and Chen Shengzhi.
It's just a picture.
The most important thing is, do Chen Shengzhi's reforms have the same purpose as Wang Anshi's reforms?
Wang Anshi's reform was a political ambition to enrich the country and strengthen the army. Although he promoted Lu Huiqing, Zeng Bu, Zhang Dun and others willfully, his purpose was not to form a party for personal gain, but because these people supported the new law and at the same time had
Just talent.
But what about Chen Shengzhi?
He wanted to reform because he was competing with Wang Anshi for power and profit.
Therefore, Zhang Yue cannot accept it for any reason.
Zhang Yuezheng wanted to speak out but refused.
Unexpectedly, Chen Shengzhi said: "If you are willing to help me, I am willing to make you a master!"
As soon as Chen Shengzhi said these words, Zhang Yue swallowed back his refusal.
Chen Shengzhi said leisurely: "Duzhi, a minister of the two systems who is less than thirty years old. Although he can't reach the sky in one step, he is only two or three steps away from being in power."
"Many people admired and admired Han Gong Wufa when he was in power. With your talents and scientific reputation, it is no problem that you will be in power in the future. You might as well take my words and consider them in your heart."
Zhang Yue admitted that he was really moved.
The minister of two systems is the dream of the minister of public affairs.
The so-called Zhizhigao means that the people in the hospital are specially drafted to make the imperial edict, which is the imperial edict issued by Zhongshu. This is called external system.
As for Hanlin scholars who specialize in drafting imperial edicts, such appointments are often more important and are called internal systems.
Entering the House of Scholars to draft an external document is not just drafting. If the Master thinks that there is something wrong with the drafting of the imperial edict in Zhongshu, it can be blocked.
At the same time, for general political discussions in the court, the officials would also convene ministers from two or more systems to discuss. For example, before major reform provisions such as the exemption law were implemented, officials would issue edicts for ministers from two or more systems to discuss.
If we say that the system is only a symbolic participation in national policy, it is far from formulating national policy. However, with the step of zhizhigao, we have some real power to influence national policy.
This position is incomparable.
If Chen Shengzhi agrees and nominates himself to become Zhizhigao, even if Chen Sheng steps down, he will still have some confidence even if he is on the wrong side.
Zhang Yue looked at Chen Shengzhi, and at this moment he felt like he was trying to steal the skin of a tiger.
