Once on the Dragon and Tiger List, ten years later he was in the Phoenix Pond.
In the Zhangfu annals, Zhang Yue suddenly remembered that after winning the first prize when he was young, he saw a poem written by Zhang Tangqing, the former top pick, in the collection office.
Phoenix Pond is the nickname of Zhongshu Province.
The person named Xiaofeng is called Xiaofeng, the bachelor of Hanlin is called Dafeng, and the prime minister is called Laofeng.
It took nine years to get to Shiren himself, but it only took eleven years for Ruo... Ruo to become a Hanlin scholar.
Zhang Yue thought of this.
At this time, a servant in the mansion said: "My envoy...has arrived in front of the hall."
The servant looked happy, but when he saw Zhang Yue's serious expression, he put back his congratulations and couldn't help but thought, "Master, what's going on?"
Zhang Yue nodded and walked to the hall. At this moment, the servants in the hall were holding gifts in their hands.
The gift was a pair of clothes given by the officials. This was the official attire for going to and from the court, and the decorations on the skirts were extremely luxurious.
The gold belt is inlaid with gold ornaments and edged with gold thread.
Both of these were worn when meeting the emperor in court.
The saddles painted with gold and the royal horses led in the courtyard were all used by the palace for the scholars to enter and leave the palace.
The gifts of clothes and seats show the emperor's honor in treating Hanlin scholars.
The person who came to announce the decree was Zhang Yue's old acquaintance Li Xian.
Li Xianzheng was talking to Zhang Zhi, while Cai Que, Xu Jiang, Huang Lu and Ouyang Fa all took refuge in the study to wait for news.
When they met, Li Xian smiled and congratulated Zhang Yue.
Zhang Yue nodded and exchanged a few words before sitting across from Li Xian in front of the hall.
Li Xian saw that there was not much joy on Zhang Yue's face, and he seemed to know something.
Li Xian first read the edict.
Zhang Yue said the word "no worship".
Regardless of whether you want to accept an official position here, you must resign first upon your first appointment.
At least one word. This is standard procedure.
Li Xian expressed his condolences and said: "Zhang Longtu, this Hanlin scholar, the third minister, the censor Zhongcheng, and the magistrate of Kaifeng Prefecture are all called Siruitou."
"It's only one step away from becoming the prime minister. We really congratulate you here."
Zhang Yue declined and said: "Zhang's qualifications are shallow. There are many officials in the three bureaus who are far more senior than Zhang. I really don't want to accept him now."
Li Xiandao: "Zhang Longtu, if others don't know about your great achievements in the northwest, don't you know what the official's heart is like? Don't take your gossip to heart."
Zhang Yue said: "How can Zhang be someone who cares about what others say? It's just that a bachelor's degree in the Hanlin Academy is a prestigious position. Zhang is neither powerful nor important, so he can't live up to his expectations."
Li Xiandao: "In the minds of officials, Longtu is the best choice for internal control."
Zhang Yue said: "To be honest, Zhang has made up his mind to ask Your Majesty for a place in the county."
"Please ask the county?"
Zhang Yue nodded and said: "Yes, I hope your majesty can grant me the title of a state. I am afraid that I will not be able to do the job in Wangjun. I just hope that the land will be empty and there are few people, so that I can do my best."
Zhang Zhi looked surprised when he heard this.
Li Xian on the side had a premonition and said: "Our family will tell His Majesty about this matter, and please Zhang Longtu accept the gift."
Zhang Yue said: "This gold-belted horse is a gift from a bachelor, and Zhang does not dare to accept it."
Only then did Li Xian confirm that Zhang Yue really did not want to become a Hanlin scholar.
When leaving, Li Xian said: "I became a bachelor at the age of twenty-eight. The only one in this dynasty is Su Yijian. Why would Long Tu not hesitate to do it?"
How could Zhang Yue not know that a Hanlin bachelor's degree was valuable?
In the first year of Xining's reign, Wang Anshi was awarded a bachelor's degree in the Hanlin Academy. In the following year, he became a minister of political affairs and became prime minister.
Sima Guang was awarded the Hanlin Bachelor's degree in the fourth year of Zhiping, and became the Privy Deputy Envoy in the third year of Xining.
There is only one step from bachelor to prime minister.
Zhang Yue said to Li Xian: "Zhang is not a scholar. It is impossible to be so distant and biased."
Li Xian knew Zhang Yue's intention and said, "Do you know Long Tu? This appointment of bachelor is exactly what Wang Xianggong recommended to His Majesty."
Zhang Yue was silent for a moment and said: "But when the Duke of Han and Wei was in power, Wang Xianggong also repeatedly resigned from his appointment and asked for help from the county."
Someone else would have to give in again, but Li Xianze simply asked: "If Long Tu asks the county, where would he like to go? I'd like to report it to the Ming officials."
Zhang Yue said: "As Mr. Wang said, there is no north or south when it comes to frustration in life. It can happen anywhere."
Li Xian smiled and said: "I have never heard that Dafeng is disappointed."
Zhang Yue smiled but did not answer.
Li Xian asked deliberately: "How about going to the northwest?"
"Can."
After sending Li Xian away, Zhang Zhi stayed by his side and hesitated to speak.
Zhang Yue smiled and went to the study room at home with Zhang Zhi.
Cai Que and others were waiting for news in the study. They were all excited when they learned that Zhang Yue had become a Hanlin scholar.
However, seeing Zhang Yue's calm look, Zhang Zhi looked confused.
Everyone is waiting for Zhang Yue's words.
Zhang Yue sat down and said: "In the past, when the Duke of Wei in Han Dynasty was in office, the officials he appointed were all upright and well-known people, or people who were loyal and able to suppress customs. They were either servants or prepared for admonishment. They were all used for public consultation, and many were promoted.
People don’t even know whose sect this person comes from.”
"Nowadays, there are many discussions outside about the people used by Prime Minister Wang Xianggong, and it is difficult to call him a wise man. Today he and the officials recommended me to be a Hanlin scholar. He knows the world but doesn't know me, so he resigned!"
After Zhang Yue finished speaking, everyone was silent, except Huang Lu who said happily: "Very good, very good.
Zhang Yue glanced at Huang Lu and smiled.
But Cai Queda stood up unhappy and said, "What's so good about it?"
After saying that, Cai Que walked away in a hurry.
Seeing this, General Xu explained: "I don't know why Duzhi refused to accept the post of Hanlin bachelor, so he was angry."
Zhang Yue nodded and said: "I understand that between the frontier commander and the internal control, nine out of ten people in the world are proud of being a bachelor of the Jin Dynasty. I am the only one."
Xu Jiang said solemnly: "Xu doesn't know what to say, but in his heart he only has admiration for Long Tu."
After saying that, General Xu took his leave.
Huang Lu said with a smile: "If you are an official, you will do it if you can, and if you can't do it, you will leave. Since Wang Jiefu is stubborn and stubborn, even if he is a Hanlin bachelor, he will not be happy."
Zhang Yue smiled and said, "Anzhong still knows me best."
After Huang Lu left, Zhang Zhi was the only one left. Zhang Yue asked Zhang Zhi, "Do you understand?"
Zhang Zhi said: "The officials are very kind to my uncle. Wouldn't it hurt the officials' feelings to say such words?"
Zhang Yue said: "No. The officials know why I resigned."
Zhang Zhi nodded and said, "I understand. Wang Jiefu is at fault for this matter. I will definitely explain this matter clearly when I meet you one day."
Zhang Yue shook his head with a smile and said: "Don't be like this. After I left Beijing and went to the place, the Zhang family was all decided by you. You have to take responsibility. Remember my words and don't act out of anger in the future."
"Me?" Zhang Zhi heard this unexpectedly.
In the past, with Zhang Yue supporting the family, Zhang Zhi felt that he didn't have to worry about it, and he didn't have much scruples about being an official. Now he was shocked when he heard Zhang Yue said that he wanted to advocate for the Zhang family.
Only now did Zhang Zhi realize Zhang Yue's difficulties, how difficult it was to take charge of a family. If Zhang Yue retreated, he would not be able to handle the extremely complicated interpersonal relationships in the officialdom.
After Zhang Yue resigned from his appointment as a Hanlin bachelor, the emperor recruited Zhang Yue as a bachelor nine times in a row.
Zhang Yue also wrote nine words.
The officials in the capital were surprised when they heard this, and at the same time they admired Zhang Yue's integrity.
You must know that so far only Sima Guang has resigned as deputy privy envoy, and there are only a few officials who have resigned from the Imperial Academy and are second only to deputy privy envoy.
For a time, Zhang Yue's nine summonses and nine speeches became a good story.
