Zhang Yue once heard his senior brother in his previous life say that when a girl likes you, there will be light in her eyes when she looks at you.
But how many couples have let their loved ones watch the light in their eyes gradually fade away after getting married.
It is said that men have a soft spot for their first girl, and Zhang Yue, the two generations above and below, only had one girl, Shi Qi Niang.
Therefore, after ten years of marriage, the couple can be said to be as good as each other.
As a wife, Qi Niang not only took care of Zhang Yue's internal and external affairs, but also provided powerful help in his career.
As his pillow partner, Zhang Yue would often talk to Qi Niang when he was confused. Compared with many couples who have less normal communication, Zhang Yue could have an intimate wife, and there was nothing more a husband could ask for.
Zhang Yue feels that this is a lifelong responsibility and is very, very important to keep the light in his wife's eyes from being faded by the passage of time and trivial daily matters.
Cultivating one's moral integrity, managing one's family, governing the country, and bringing peace to the world means that one must manage one's family before we talk about governing the country.
Of course, this does not mean that if you forget your own interests for the sake of public service, you will not be able to govern the country, but if your family is not harmonious, no matter how successful your career is, most people will not be happy in their lives.
Confucianism always considers you from your personal perspective first, and then the world.
That night, Zhang Yue and Qi Niang had a warm relationship. Afterwards, the couple hugged each other like glue and fell asleep.
The next day Zhang Yue went to the Sheren Courtyard for duty.
Sherenyuan belongs to the official branch of Zhongshu. It is located in the southwest of Zhongshu Province and is very close to the court. It is only a few steps away from Zhongshu after going to court in the morning.
Sherenyuan is only adjacent to Zhongshu Zhichiyuan, which is the official residence of the post officials of Zhongshutang.
The post officials were said to be officials, but in fact they were all officials from the Beijing Dynasty. There were three post officials in each of the five rooms of Zhongshu. However, with the advancement of the new law, Wang Anshi believed that Zhongshu Province had many affairs and needed first-class talents.
Competent.
So Wang Anshi asked the emperor to set up the Jianzheng Zhongshu for the official affairs of the fifth house and the jianzheng of all the houses. The position was above the back hall of each house.
Wang Anshi's setup is similar to the Three Regulations Department, where he selects elite soldiers and strong generals from all aspects.
The officials were still considering the matter and had not appointed officials in advance, but Wang Anshi had already ordered Zeng Bu to take charge of the household house, Li Qingchen to take charge of the official house, Li Chengzhi to take charge of the punishment house, Zhao Xun to take charge of the ceremonial house, and Deng Wan to take charge of the Kongmu house.
Let them immediately go into the fifth room to work for the prime minister's subordinates.
The Three Ordinance Departments were abolished due to fierce opposition from Sima Guang and others. Wang Anshi asked Lu Huiqing to continue to be responsible for reform matters after sentencing Sinong Temple, and at the same time, he set up the Zhongshu Wufang Office to continue to strengthen the power of the prime minister.
In another time and space in history, he was very arrogant when he was inspecting the houses. He only reported official matters to Wang Anshi, and he was very overbearing to other people involved in politics. He said, "The prime minister (Wang Anshi) has already agreed. What do you do if you ask questions?"
What, hurry up and sign it.
When Zhang Yue came to Sherenyuan, he happened to meet Zeng Bu and Li Chengzhi on the road.
The two of them knew that Zhang Yue was admitted to the House of Humanity today, and they said respectfully: "Congratulations to the House of Masters for taking Xiyuan today."
Li Chengzhi said: "Today I will be a little phoenix, and tomorrow I will be a big phoenix!"
Zhang Yue smiled and said: "You're welcome."
After hearing this, Zeng Bu joked: "Feng Shi said that I am not a young phoenix!"
The three of them laughed after hearing this.
Zeng Bu and Li Chengzhi's remarks were from the Tang Dynasty. At that time, Zhongshu Province was to the west of the imperial city as it is now, so people who became Zhongshu She were called "entering the West Pavilion" and "leading the West Wall".
As for the Dafeng and Xiaofeng mentioned by Li Chengzhi, Zhongshu Province was called Phoenix Pool in the Tang Dynasty.
Therefore, those who are academicians in the Imperial Academy are called Dafeng, and those who are in the middle school are called Xiaofeng.
Zhang Yue couldn't help but think of the poem "He climbed to the Dragon and Tiger List for the first time, and arrived in the Phoenix Pond in ten years."
It refers to the pride I felt when I was a Jinshi in junior high school. Today I am waiting for the Jinshi (Dragon and Tiger Ranking), and ten years later I will meet the princes in the Phoenix Pond!
Zhang Yue has been in the Phoenix Pond for less than ten years now. Today he is a Xiaofeng and tomorrow he will be a Dafeng.
Previously, Li Chengzhi's "Little Phoenix" was a self-deprecating statement. For example, the names of "Old Dragon", "Big Dragon" and "Little Dragon" in Bachelor of Longtuge have the same meaning.
Zhang Yue looked at the majestic palaces on all sides, and suddenly sighed from the bottom of his heart, when he was a junior high school scholar, did he think that I would be where I am today?
Suddenly, it was indeed ten years of work!
The two praised him, and Zhang Yue reciprocated the favor by saying, "Sooner or later, if you two come in and out of this place, you will become a three-character official with Zhang."
Zhizhigao is composed of three characters, so it is well known as the three-character official.
Now when they heard Zhang Yue's words, they both said in unison: "Then let's take advantage of the good news of sacrificing others."
The three of them will be working as Zhongshu in the future, and there will be many opportunities for dealing with each other. Zhang Yue expressed his approval of Zeng Bu and Li Chengzhi's auspicious words. After a hasty greeting between the two parties, Zhang Yue went to take office.
When they arrived at Shirenyuan, Zhang Heng had already arrived, and everyone and the officials greeted him again.
Cai Yanqing and Wang Yirou paid homage to Zhang Yue and Zhang Heng as Zhishe Renyuan.
Zhizhigaozhong would recommend the oldest person to be the cabinet chief, but the current cabinet chief is Qian Gongfu, who lives in Taiyuan.
Before Zhang Yue arrived at the Sheren Courtyard, Cai Yanqing had the final say on all matters.
After that, he officially took office. Is it a lot of work for a foreign official in one day? In fact, it is quite a lot. There was a foreign official in the previous dynasty who said that he could draft more than twenty edicts in one day, but he was too busy to do the job.
, requesting officials to remove themselves from office.
"I Have a Book of Ghosts and Gods"
But the imperial edict is Wang Yan. As a scholar, if you can write Wang Yan, you can brag about it for a lifetime. Many officials have the habit of copying the imperial edict, and when they retire, they can brag among their husbands and elders.
It's like when a writer publishes an article in a newspaper, he keeps the newspaper at home.
The collections of essays handed down from the scholar-officials of the Song Dynasty all include the articles they wrote when they were in charge of making imperial edicts. The number is really quite large.
All foreign officials must prepare a collection of productions. This is an unwritten rule passed down from the time of the Tang Dynasty.
Cai Yanqing happened to be on duty on that day, and Zhongshu wanted to remove an official from the hall. Cai Yanqing drafted the edict at that time. Such removals happened almost every day. According to Cai Yanqing, it must be done in a short and direct manner.
In other words, you are hardly given any chance to think, and you must write down the imperial edict in front of the audience.
Cai Yanqing said to Zhang Yue solemnly while writing: "In the past, when Ouyang Gong was making imperial edicts, his words and orders were enough to help the country's prestige and declare the king's status."
"The most important thing is to be able to declare His Majesty's intention."
Zhang Yue and Zhang Heng both nodded and observed how the other wrote.
After Cai Yanqing skillfully finished writing the imperial edict, he said with a smile: "Recently, in addition to the urgent needs of officials in Zhongshu Hall, I have to pay at least two or three orders a day, and as many as more than ten, and I am not allowed to rest for a day."
"But when it comes to writing imperial edicts, Academician Wang is very generous. I asked him for advice on my first day on duty, and you two can do the same."
That's right, in the officialdom of the Song Dynasty, generals who wrote imperial edicts well were respected as generous writers.
Among the imperial edicts, Wang Gui is recognized as the best one. At that time, Wang Gui was trusted by Emperor Renzong because of his good imperial edicts. He was honored as a great writer and served as a Hanlin scholar for more than ten years.
Zhang Yue planned to come to Wang Gui's house in a few days to ask for advice on how to draft the imperial edict.
Cai Yanqing smiled and said: "However, if you don't ask for guidance from a famous teacher, there are still some rules to follow. For example, how to make the Zhonghai Ci and the brain Ci."
After listening to Cai Yanqing's explanation, Zhang Yue knew that the so-called Haici used for low-level officials was a fixed discussion and the same modern Ci, which was all routine.
However, when it is used to pay homage to senior officials of the Qing Dynasty and above, Nao Ci must be used instead. Nao Ci, as the name implies, is to use the brain to think, and it must be different from other imperial edicts.
At the same time, there are also special words for specialized middle- and senior-level officials.
Of course, whether it is Hai Ci or Nao Ci, it is not difficult for officials like Zhang Yue and Zhang Heng who were born in the first place.
After staying in Sherenyuan for half a day, Zhang Yue returned home.
There is a little friend waiting for him at home.
When I saw Peng Jingyi again, he had already taken a shower and changed clothes. Although he was not in high spirits, he was no longer as gray and gray as yesterday.
"Saburo."
Zhang Yue said: "We have been separated for many years. I have invited you to come to Bianjing several times to find me, but you have not come. Why have you not heard from me in the past two years?"
Peng Jingyi said: "It's hard to describe it in a word."
Zhang Yue smiled and said, "I have plenty of skills. Let me tell you slowly."
It turns out that Peng Jingyi's life was not bad, he worked as an official in Pucheng, and later he went to Laocheng Camp to serve as a section-level officer.
As a section-level prisoner with good food and wine to serve him, Peng Jingyi lived a comfortable life. Zhang Yue invited him to come to Beijing, but he was reluctant to live in peace in Pucheng, let alone go all the way to Bianjing, so he did not go.
Later, Lieutenant Peng County passed away. Peng Jingyi had no backing and couldn't deal with the new manager, so he thought of quitting his job and joining Zhang Yue.
Traveling from south to north, the place was not peaceful. Peng Jingyi was robbed on the Huai River and lost all his belongings. Fortunately, a fisherman and his daughter took him in and saved his life.
Thanks to the fisherman's father and daughter taking him in, Peng Jingyi lived in Huai River for more than half a year, and even married the fisherman's daughter and had children.
Peng Jingyi thought, forget it, stop going to the capital to look for Zhang Yue in search of wealth, and live his own life there forever.
However, he was very poor when he was fishing, and officials came to exploit him from time to time. One day, Peng Jingyi couldn't help but hurt an official who was urging taxes. As a result, the government issued arrest documents and arrested people everywhere.
Peng Jingyi loyally did not leave his wife behind, and fled with his family all the way to the capital to join Zhang Yue.
This is the reason why there has been no news from him for three years.
Zhang Yue couldn't help but laugh after hearing this legendary experience of Peng Jingyi: "You, you, you are so brave, you are your sister-in-law? You didn't even bring her to let me see you."
Peng Jingyi smiled and said: "Country women have never seen the world, so they are afraid there are no rules."
Zhang Yue said: "What's the matter? I'm not from the countryside, so how can I let people live outside?"
Zhang Yue immediately ordered Mother Chen to send two maids to deliver some clothes to the fisherman woman first.
Zhang Yue asked again: "Have you given me a name?"
Peng Jingyi said: "It was done locally. She saved my life. She will be my best friend in this life. But I haven't reported it to my family yet, for fear that my family won't accept it."
Zhang Yue praised: "This is good. You should repay your kindness. A man earns his fame by himself. When you become successful in the future, your wife will follow your example."
After a pause, Zhang Yue said: "Take her home!"
Peng Jingyi nodded gratefully.
Ps: Thank you to the joyii leader for the double alliance, and thank you again to Ye Yushi, prophet, and Cao Mianzi book friend for the double alliance.
