Chapter 1338 The New Party’s Counterattack
It was April when the edict arrived in Jianzhou.
The remaining veins of the Wuyi Mountains are stretching, the plants and trees in the mountains are getting greener and thicker, and the tea gardens are stacked like green waves.
The rivers such as Jianxi, Songxi and other rivers are green due to the spring rain, reflecting the bamboo shadows on both sides of the shore; the terraced fields are filled with water like mirrors, and occasionally there are straw raincoats and farmers driving oxen to plow, just like ink paintings.
Papermakers in Jianyang Paper Floor Filter Bamboo to make paper.
This scene of "green mountains and white rivers, rain like smoke in the sound of Zigui" makes the rich government office more and more solemn.
"I ordered my subordinates: I heard that Zhang Yue, the governor of Jianzhou, was known as the bureau, and had been sent by the border. I have long thought that I have been outside the state and counties, so I should inherit Xuanhua. Now I am specially summoned to the court to consult the border affairs."
"You can take the post to send a message to you quickly. Do not let the prefectures and counties along the way to welcome and send them away. Therefore, I will tell you this edict, and I would like to know."
"My memory Zhang Yue received the order!"
In the night rain, after the sharp voice of the waiter in the door came to an abrupt end, Zhang Yue chuckled.
This is not a prime minister's summons to return to the rituals, and he does not give him a saddle or horse.
There is no need to revenge, and the words of prime ministers such as Xuanma are used.
The poster uses the pedestal instead of the sprint.
Non-white ephedra euta edict.
Those who come to announce the imperial edict are just waiters.
I also ordered the passing prefectures and counties not to overdo their extravagance and to do not overdo their orders.
After Zhang Yue received the order, he asked Huang Haoyi to take the door to rest.
The officials waiting in the corridor shook each other. When they heard the repeated reprimands of "Don't be extravagant to welcome and send off", several quick-witted hands that had been trying to congratulate.
The officials in the government office are well versed in the officialdom, not to mention officials, even ordinary people understand what they mean after hearing the imperial edict. The imperial edict is just the same. Summoning Zhang Yue back to the court is not to return to the prefect, not to return to the prefect, not to return to the prefect, not to return to the prefect.
Say the important words three times.
I am not afraid that Zhang Yue will not understand, but that others will not understand.
The officials in the government offices used to have the intention of Zhang Yue to regain their prime minister and deliberately flattered them there. Now, when they saw the content of the imperial edict, they immediately extinguished their thoughts.
Is it the Empress Dowager Gao, who is now punishing military and national affairs, or is the right servant Cai Que, who doesn’t want Zhang Yue to return to the court?
"Please take good care of the tea construction tax."
Zhang Yue gave general instructions to the officials in the official office.
He raised his head from the document, and the officials below were surging with their thoughts. Zhang Yue didn't care much about it and continued: "The aristocratic families cannot over-company, and the newly-built tea fields in the mountains must be given to the people..."
"When tea buds are pumped in the coming year, tea farmers need to keep 30% more of their own sales..."
After the court guaranteed a profit of more than 100,000 yuan per year, it tried its best to benefit the people. There were no large families who robbed and occupied more, and tried their best to give the people a chance.
Now the people have been comforted.
It is his purpose of being an official, and the treatment is not in his eyes.
"The annual tea tax quota of 150,000 guan...it will not be easier within three years."
After listening to Zhang Yue's orders, the officials took the orders one by one.
Zhang Yue took things one by one and ordered them to others, and the officials dispersed one after another.
After putting down the pen, Zhang Yue raised his head again. More than 30 green-robed officials waiting under the corridor bowed down. The rain dripped along the eaves in front of the corridor and the white air rose up.
These more than thirty people are poor children of the officials who were promoted to officials by him.
Zhang Yue waved his hand to signal them to retreat. Looking at their backs retreating into the rain curtain, he thought carefully and thought that it was probably Cai Que's intention to return to Jing this time, and he wanted me to compete with Sima Guang.
Zhang Yue finally dealt with all the accumulated official duties.
The officials looked at the lights in the lobby of the government office and kept on the 3rd update.
...
When he was ordered to enter the capital, the city walls of Jianzhou gradually disappeared into the peaks, Zhang Yue suddenly felt light and brisk.
From Jianyang to Pucheng, to Yuliangyi, Zhang Yue looked at Xianxia Ridge hidden by clouds and mist. Here he received Zhang Zhi's letter from his family and understood the whole story. Only then did he truly see the context of the Bianjing Dynasty.
It was the crown prince who left a letter from the official family. Empress Dowager Gao seemed reluctant to return to Beijing, but Cai Que expressed his support.
On the contrary, Sima Guang, Wang Gui and Cai Que used the etiquette of governing Chenzhou, or summoned Sima Guang back to the court through the Ministry of Personnel rather than the Secretary of the Central Committee.
This was a temporary solution to give the old party a step. As a result, Sima Guang, who had been summoned by the government many times, actually came back. He dressed up and went to the palace, but he only submitted a memorial to Wang Gui's mansion and returned to Luoyang.
After learning about this, Empress Dowager Gao scolded Wang Gui and Cai Que angrily, and immediately ordered her confidant eunuch Liang Weijian to pursue him to Luoyang to recall Sima Guang with a purple clay seal.
Sima Guang returned to the court, and the people climbed trees and rode on the houses, and thousands of people were empty.
It can only be said that the new law has been implemented for 19 years. Although it has achieved the achievement of restoring Lianglan and breaking the Xihe River, it has been tired from officials to the people.
The way of heaven is like a bow. This politics also means peaks and troughs. The higher the peaks, the deeper the troughs.
I flattened the peaks by myself, but the valleys should come.
Judging from the specifications of the edict, whether it is Empress Dowager Gao or the people's hearts, even if Zhang Yue returns to the court and becomes prime minister, it will be difficult for him to show his strength.
However, Cai Jing pointed out Zhang Cheng's article as the first in the Imperial College Supervision Examination. The articles of the four people and the people attracted much attention among the scholars, and even the old scholars in the Jingyi Bureau agreed with it.
In Hedong, Lu Huiqing ordered the general Zhe Kexing to lead 25,000 infantry and cavalry to attack Dangxiang Juxingbo, and Ge Luolang and other six villages won a complete victory.
The foundation of the New Party’s 20 years of operation shows some signs of loosening, but the New Party is striving to fight back.
Cai Que and Lu Huiqing are not people who wait for death.
The court he faced was like the spring rain rising green stream under Yuliang Post. The undercurrent was surging under the surface. In fact, the new party's practical faction and the old party's clean sect are fighting. But it is still necessary to go back, otherwise it will be disrespectful to the order.
It’s just that you have the speed, just take the post and don’t go too slowly, otherwise it will be disrespectful.
The peach petals in the stream were spinning, and the number "Don't be extravagant to welcome and see off" was vaguely angry in my heart. Ordinary officials were just like this, and they retired to the prime minister and said this.
The person who is in charge of the grass is Zhang Dun, the subordinate minister.
Zhang Yue gently brushed away the spring rain from his clothes and turned around and returned to the inn.
...
In the capital, Cai Que, Zhang Dun and Han Zhongyan sat down to discuss matters.
Zhang Dun said: "At this point, there is no need to summon Zhang Yue back to Beijing. Without him, Sima Jun would not be able to make the overall situation."
Cai Que glanced at Zhang Dun and summoned Zhang Yue to return to the imperial edict, he insisted on adding, "Don't be extravagant to welcome and see him off."
Cai Que said slowly: "Why am I afraid of Sima Shier? He is the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager... After hearing Sima Guang and others say that the new law is not good, he became interested in abolishing it."
Zhang Dun said sternly: "Sima Shier has been studying in Luoyang for fifteen years. Now he knows what he knows about the government and what he knows, but he just hearsay."
"Have he ever visited the west? Since he became an official, he has done something except to compile books and make statements?"
Cai Que said: "So what if you haven't seen it? So what if you haven't done it?"
"The officials and people in the world don't know much about abolishing the new law, and everyone is tired for a long time."
"Now, let Sima Junshi make a lot of trouble. When he touched the Nanfang Cicada, he knew he would turn around."
Zhang Dun shook his head and said, "This is just like Zhang Duzhi said. He doesn't stand up to be wrong in the world, but he is still busy all day long. Even if such people become prime ministers, their families will be embarrassed."
"If the world has not seen Your Majesty and our whole life's hard work be ruined, we can only be awakened. Then it will be too late to awaken like this."
"I would rather die and kill the stairs than see this scene."
Cai Que was a little excited by Zhang Dun's words and said angrily: "Okay, Zihou, you go and tell me to death, and I will give you the opportunity to death, and I will kill you and die before you and I will repay Your Majesty's kindness for you and me."
Seeing that Cai Que and Zhang Dun were about to quarrel, Han Zhongyan stood up and said, "You two, please calm down and listen to me."
Cai Que and Zhang Dun each drank tea.
Cai Que knew how determined Empress Dowager Gao wanted to abolish the new law. If he forced himself to fight against him, the new party officials in the court would be beaten up in one go. It would be better to follow her wishes for the time being and contact Zhang Yue to return to the court to fight together.
But Zhang Dun's fierce personality has a strong attitude of rather than being a complete one.
Cai Que didn't have this idea. At most, he could do his best to repay the emperor's kindness, which would be better than being so cowardly now. But he is now looking forward to the court and taking charge of the overall situation here, so he has to compromise.
Han Zhongyan looked at the faces of the two of them and said, "It is a fact that officials and businessmen are trapped in the new laws. It is said that abolishing the new laws is what people want, but it may not be."
“There are many students who support the new law.”
Cai Que Zhang Dun nodded. Tai students are always a force of the new law, which can allow them to stand up and oppose Sima Guang's abolition of the new law.
In recent years, Cai Que and Han Zhongyan have both made arrangements in the Imperial Academy.
I am so passionate and strong, and I am quite idealistic in my work. It is not like after joining the world, most people only care about their own money and interests.
Han Zhongyan said: "There is another thing. After all, the Empress Dowager is a woman, and her ideas are easy to control others. She has no advantages in governing the country and maintaining national security, so she wants to rely on Sima Junshi."
"I think it's better to let the queen be in power and follow the government?"
"Empress?" Cai Que and Zhang Dun spoke at the same time.
Cai Que shook his head and said, "When the Crown Prince was established before this matter, some people argued that it was difficult!"
"How can the Empress Dowager and the Empress go hand in hand together and punish state affairs together."
Han Zhongyan said: "It's better to submit a memorial to try it out. Even if you don't have the power to follow the government, you can still fight for one or two."
"We must not sit still and wait for death in this move, at least we must talk to the Queen Mother."
Zhang Dun said seriously: "These days, King Yong has entered the palace many times, and the crown prince has been established. The queen mother may not mean to establish King Yong, but isn't it a big deal to us?"
"I'll arrange this!"
Han Zhongyan couldn't help but say, "Zihou takes it seriously!"
Zhang Dun said: "I don't know, what else can you hesitate about? Lu Jifu dares not be afraid of criticism to send troops to the Dangxiang."
"If the new law is defeated one day, I will also die in front of the three armies."
Chapter completed!
