Prime Minister

Chapter 647 Da Song Bole
One day, Zeng Bu came to visit, but Zhang Yue said he was ill as usual and did not see him.

But Zeng Bu handed him a letter.

In the letter, Zeng Bu conveyed Zhongshu's meaning, and Zhang Yue saw that Zeng Bu's letter was as long-winded as the person's speech, with a lot of ramblings.For example, ask about your health, and the current situation of your brother Zeng Gong, etc.

Finally, Zeng Bu conveyed Zhongshu's meaning, which was Wang Anshi's meaning.It is said that Zhang Yuezhi's mistake was not a major fault, and there is no need to dismiss him. Let him take a foreign post first, and then return to the capital to serve as an official after accumulating experience, which means he will be reused at that time.

After Zhang Yue read the letter, he was very surprised. Is this the tone of Wang Anshi's speech?Did Zeng Bu convey it clearly?
Lu Gong wrote, Sima Guang, Fan Zhen and so many officials were demoted and dismissed, Wang Anshi didn't say anything, and he didn't even say a word to persuade him to stay.

Lu Gong wrote, what kind of friendship does Sima Guang have with Wang Anshi?And what kind of friendship do you have with Wang Anshi?
I just swept Wang Anshi's face.

Wang Anshi persuaded himself not to be dismissed, but to reuse him in the future. Is this Jiefu's character?
This is wrong!
But Zeng Bu was loyal to Wang Anshi, and he was not a liar. Seventy percent of this letter should be true.

So can I take an outside job?

After Zhang Yue read the letter, he pondered for a while.

After being cut off from the three officials, it must be over for ordinary officials.

The seniority system adopted for the promotion of the official is three years, and the third official is the third level, which means that nine years are wasted, and the official career is still standing still.

Moreover, after September of the third year of Zhiping, it was changed to grinding every four years, which was even more fatal.

But for Zhang Yue, the third level has little impact.

Because of his waiting system, others will be promoted to one level in three years, but he will be promoted to two levels in three years.Moreover, he was specifically promoted, and the speed of promotion is more the emperor's will, regardless of the meaning of the Zhengshitang and the Ministry of Officials.

Moreover, after knowing the patent, the salary does not depend on the officials to draw it.

But after all, the official decides the seniority of the officials. Originally, at the Zhangyue level, at least the Zhizhou was sent out. If the experience of serving as a local official is not considered, then the transfer envoy is also possible.

But because of being demoted, Zhizhou should be gone.

For example, because Su Shi was impeached by Xie Jingwen for selling private salt, even if it has been confirmed that there is no evidence, Su Shi is only awarded a general sentence in Hangzhou.

The officials originally wanted to send Su Shi a man who knew the prefecture, but Zhongshu thought it was impossible.

The local state capitals of the Song Dynasty were high and low, namely the four capitals (such as Kaifeng), the second government (Fengxiang), the governor's state, the Jiedu state, the defense state, and the training state.

Hangzhou is the governor's prefecture, and Yingzhou is the tuanlianshizhou. The general judgment of the Dudufu prefecture is higher than that of the tuanlianshizhou.

Su Shi is now Dr. Taichang, and his official position is only one level lower than Zhang Yue, who has been demoted three levels in a row.

In another time and space history, Su Shi became the magistrate of Mizhou in the seventh year of Xining when he was a member of the ancestral hall Wailang.

After seeing Su Shi's dispatch, Zhang Yue thought that Wang Anshi let him go out, which meant that he was almost appointed as the general judge.

If you want to be the chief officer of the county, you must have the experience of a second official or a sub-officer. It is impossible to skip the experience of a deputy and directly let you be the top leader.

And when you first took over Zhizhou, you were asked to serve as the Zhizhou of a defensive state or Tuanlian state first.

Therefore, the normal experience of being sent out can only be promoted to the prefecture after being sentenced for two terms.

It can be seen that the officials still value Su Shi highly. After one term is awarded to Hangzhou Tongpan, the next term will be at least Zhizhou, and if Yingzhou Tongpan is awarded, the next term can only be Dazhou Tongpan.

In the past, Zhang Yue's rank was too high, and it was more than enough to serve as magistrate, but now it is also in line with the status of being demoted.

If Wang Anshi lets him serve outside, then he can serve as the general judge of Dazhou.

However, if Han Jiang had been invited to serve as a Xuanfu envoy, if he was appointed as a Xuanfu envoy judge, his seniority and status would definitely be higher than that of Dazhou Tongju, but Han Jiang went to implement the Hengshan Raiders, which was inconsistent with Zhang Yue's original intention.

Zhang Yue was considering whether to reply to Zeng Bu's letter, but at this time Han Jiang came to the door in person.

The other officials, Zhang Yue, can not see him, but Han Jiang is participating in politics, and the deputy prime minister is also, so how can he be turned away.

Zhang Yue had to "strongly support the sick body" to welcome him.

Han Jiang said with a smile, "I heard that Duzhi is ill. I had been waiting to see you for a long time. Seeing that you look good, I am relieved."

Zhang Yue said cheekily: "A few days ago I was too sick to get out of bed, but now I'm getting better after recuperation."

Li Kui, who accompanied Zhang Yue to meet the guests, couldn't help but sniggered, Zhang Yue was sick, and he could eat three large bowls for every meal, and he seemed to have gained a little weight.

Han Jiang smiled thoughtfully: "Yes, heart disease is sometimes better than physical disease."

After speaking, the two sat down to talk, and the boys beside them served tea to the two of them.

Han Jiang said: "At the court today, I have asked Your Majesty to serve as the Xuanfu envoy of Shaanxi and Hebei."

Xuan Fu envoys have always been served by the ruling ministers, their status is higher than that of local appeasement envoys, and they usually control several groups of troops.

Han Jiang and Zhang Yue relayed what happened in the court today. It turns out that both Wang Anshi and Han Jiang intend to lead troops abroad.

Wang Anshi said that it was appropriate that he had no experience in leading the army, but Han Jiang said: "The current reform of the imperial court relies heavily on Wang Anshi, so I don't care."

Wang Anshi said: "No, the court is relying on Han Jiang now."

The two gave way for a while, and finally decided on Han Jiang to lead the army.

Han Jiang said: "The officials in the temple think that the chances of winning are very high. My teacher's crusade against the Xia bandits is based on obedience, using the crowd to attack the few, using the big enemy to be small, and using the official Mingsheng as a ten-year-old orphan. The situation has been decided, so I decided to send troops straight to Hengshan!"

After Han Jiang finished speaking, she looked at Zhang Yue. Zhang Yue understood that his persuasion was still unsuccessful, and the officials were determined to fight the Xia people in Hengshan.

Zhang Yue silently nodded and did not speak.

Knowing the disappointment in Zhang Yue's heart, Han Jiang said: "It's okay to save, I think the chances of winning Hengshan are not small. This time, His Majesty came out of Beijing and gave an empty name, the head of Xuanhuiyuan, and Weiming. Wait a minute."

After hearing this, Zhang Yue asked: "Your Majesty, is this temple's strategy to attack the Xia people, is it to use the soldiers and generals as the vanguard?"

Seeing Zhang Yuejian Weizhi's work, Han Jiang was very happy and said: "Duzhi is not discussed in the temple, but it is like hearing and seeing, that's exactly the case."

Zhang Yuedao: "I just remembered that when Fan Wenzheng was in charge of the Northwest, he said that although Li Yuanhao's lair is outside the river, the soldiers outside the river are not good at fighting. Only the tribes around Hengshan have strong men and horses, and they are used to fighting. Whenever Xixia commits an offense, there must be forwards and strong soldiers."

"Before, the ministers in the court discussed how to send troops to attack Xia if the army was not repaired and the people were not organized. Therefore, His Majesty worried that the soldiers and horses in the northwest would not be enough, so he reused the Fan army. This is why Xianggong took the report and went to the northwest. Conferring officials and ranks, so that the Tibetans will show their sincerity to me."

Han Jiang said: "That's right, if the Hengshan tribe can follow the example of Suizhou Wei Mingshan's brothers, why worry about Hengshan's uncertainties. Lu Weizhong (Lv Dafang) once told me during the Western Expedition that we should give up Xixia's old gift. , to reward all the armies in the Northwest, and to recruit those who are accustomed to fighting among the generals."

"However, Jiefu objected to this matter, but the officials and Minister Wen Shu all supported it."

Zhang Yue said: "But the soldiers are not good and the generals are not brave. It has never been possible since ancient times to seek to defeat the enemy thousands of miles away. If the Tibetan army is available, Qingli has already used it to defeat the enemy. In the Han and Tang Dynasties, we always recruited children from good families Army instead of old soldiers from the states and counties, fighting thousands of miles in this way, with one mind and one mind, the only way to defeat the enemy successfully.”

Zhang Yue thought to himself, Han Jiang still committed the problem of relying heavily on the foreign people, and always wanted to use naturalized players, but in the past, Huo Qubing, Li Ji broke the Huns, and the Turks, although they also used the foreign army, but the combat effectiveness of the Han army Strong, that's the root.

Han Jiang believed that the old soldiers of the prefectures and counties were unusable, so he insisted on using the Fan army to attack Xia, and captured Hengshan in the first battle.

Zhang Yue told the truth, but Han Jiang was not unhappy and said: "Wei Zhong and I said the same thing before, but it is true, but the temple has been determined, and when the time comes, it will be the first step, and the Fan army will beat him if he refuses to accept it." If there is chaos, then the Han generals will control it."

After a pause, Han Jiang said: "The Lu family is a prominent family in Lantian, and they are students of Zhang Zai. I have prepared Wei Zhong and Du Zhi to be the judges. What do you think?"

Zhang Yue said: "It is enough for Xianggong to have Wei Zhong. I have no experience in running an army, so even if I go, there is no room for me to use it."

Han Jiang said: "Du Zhi, now I am going to rely on you as my arm, why do you have to resign?"

Zhang Yue said: "Han Gong, it's not that I don't want to help you, but I have a better candidate for you?"

Han Jiang asked, "Oh, who is it?"

Zhang Yue said: "I always recommend people who are worthy and do not avoid relatives. This person is my elder brother, Zhang Zhifu (Zhang Yu), who is now the Jingdong transit judge."

Han Jiang heard Zhang Yueju and immediately said: "Okay, I will use it."

Zhang Yue was surprised and said, "You just use it without asking?"

Han Jiang nodded with a smile and said, "Duzhi has a good eye for people, and I never doubt it."

Zhang Yue smiled and said: "Also, if Mr. Xianggong wants to inquire about local affairs and side affairs in Shaanxi, you can ask Cai Que, who signed the contract in Yuanzhou!"

Han Jiang said: "Good, I will also use it."

Zhang Yue was also very happy to see Han Jiang's remonstrance.

There is no need to mention Zhang Yu's military talents, but Cai Que helped Zhang Yue remediate the Shaanxi branch before, and the accumulated credit finally eliminated the previous punishment for bribery, and was promoted to Yuanzhou Signing Judgment.

With Cai Que's shrewdness and ability, there is nothing to worry about when he comes to assist Han Jiang.

This battle should also give the two of them a chance to make their mark. It seems that my big Song Bole is stable.

"Then what are your plans?" Han Jiang asked.

Zhang Yue said: "I am going to discuss with my husband!"

……

A few days later, Han Jiang marched west. He was the Xuanfu envoy of Shaanxi and the Xuanfu envoy of Hebei.

Han Jiang first enlisted Duzhi member Wailang, and Lu Dafang of Zhishe People's Academy as the judge.

Li Qingchen was the governor of the Xuanfu envoy, and Lu Dajun, the younger brother of Lu Dafang, was the envoy of the Xuanfu envoy to write Jiyi characters.

Cai is indeed doing official business for the Xuanfu envoy.

Compared with the history of another time and space, Zhang Yi and Cai Que entered the stage of history earlier because of Zhang Yue's election.

As for Zhang Yue, he has another appointment.
