Zhang Zhou wanted to entertain the women and children of Zhu Youtang's family.
After it got dark in the afternoon, he followed Zhu Youtang back to Qianqing Palace. At this time, Zhu Youtang drank two glasses of wine, his face was rosy and a little drunk, but it made Dai Yi general not like before. I had the nerve to take out a bunch of memorials and show them to Zhang Zhou.
"Bingkuan, I don't even want to mention this to you. In the past two months, there have been many troops deployed on the Nine Sides, but most of them were done by my will. People in the court who didn't understand what they meant came up one after another to question it, which was very annoying. "Excuse me. Take a look."
He then asked Dai Yi to show Zhang Zhou a few copies.
In fact, Zhang Zhou probably knew it even if he didn’t read it.
From the use of troops at Piantou Pass to the current use of troops in Liaodong, the emperor made his own decisions after listening to his opinions. The strategy of sending troops had almost nothing to do with the courtiers. Civil officials felt that the emperor repeatedly skipped the court. When doing things, no matter whether the emperor did things right or wrong, they would raise questions and advise the emperor to correct his mentality and pay more attention to the opinions of ministers.
The use of troops at Pianyuan and Liaodong Ningyuan are also "biased".
The Piantou Pass was bombed into disarray by Wang Yue. Ning Yuan was the emperor who sent three very controversial people in the army to lead the troops, or he was prepared for the three Duoyan guards to take the initiative to attack. It is not normal at all. Deploy troops and generals.
Zhang Zhou said, "Your Majesty, it is the minister who caused all this and caused trouble for Your Majesty."
Zhu Youtang, with a little bit of wine, sat relaxedly on the chair, waved his hands and said, "This It has nothing to do with you. You have always been for me and the Ming Dynasty. You have not made any mistakes. Why do you have to admit your mistakes to me?"
Dai Yi smiled and said, "Yes, Mr. Zhang, those officials are not familiar with the world. , So far, your proposal has made all the towns on the nine sides of the Ming Dynasty safe, and the soldiers are united."
Really?
Zhang Zhou almost wanted to say, this is forgotten. After the battle at Piantou Pass, Dayan Khan and the three guards of Duoyan still dared to invade the country and plunder people and animals.
"Your Majesty, if the minister has any opinions on this, you might as well let him go and talk to you." Yes, I am willing to share your Majesty’s worries by answering their questions.”
Zhang Zhou must be wise.
Since the emperor mentioned this matter to him, the emperor wanted to let him make suggestions.
In fact, it is very simple to solve this kind of thing, that is, find a "knowledgeable" person to explain to the ministers. Regardless of whether the theory proposed by the knowledgeable person can be accepted by the ministers, at least In terms of transferring conflicts, the effect is very significant.
Now those ministers are targeting the "willful" emperor. If Zhang Zhou goes out to argue with the ministers, the ministers will definitely target him.
Zhu Youtang said, "Bingkuan, don't get me wrong. I have no intention of asking you to answer questions for those ministers, and no matter what you say, they won't listen."
Zhang Zhou smiled and said, "It all depends on man. If all this is caused by me, and I can't avoid it, they will feel that your majesty is shielding me, and their attitude towards me will be even worse. Your majesty will notHe also said that he wants me to serve as an official well in the future."
As an emperor, you have not hidden the existence of me as a minister. Even if those ministers are targeting you now, don't they know who is behind it? I'm making suggestions
You also said that you would help me as an official. Your partial attitude towards me is the biggest "resistance" to my career progress.
Of course, this resistance. But compared to the attitude of those civil servants, to put it another way, a fool does not want the emperor's absolute trust.
No matter what those civil servants think, what those civil servants mean is that any civil servant who comes forward will be right or wrong. Suppression, everything must be done according to their rules on seniority. If I follow their standards, I will not be able to become a pillar of the Ming Dynasty until I have been in the officialdom for twenty or thirty years.
Playing with civil servants
< p>Just kidding.It’s hard to think about someone who the emperor and the prince absolutely trust, and who still plays with those civil servants.
Dai Yi saw that Zhu Youtang was hesitant and spoke up. He said, "Your Majesty, I think Mr. Zhang's words are reasonable. Why don't you let him try?"
After thinking about it, Zhu Youtang reluctantly nodded and said, "Well, come to the palace early tomorrow morning and talk to them." Don't worry when talking about this matter. If they make things difficult for you, I won't sit back and ignore it. ”
Zhang Zhou felt that he was going to fight with the Confucian scholars.
As a new scholar, this was not the first time he had argued with ministers in court, but before that it was just Defending himself, who is involved in the case, is not a direct confrontation with the minister, but this time it is different. He has to directly argue with the minister about the use of troops in the northwest and Liaodong.
It is still very challenging. High.
When Jiang Pingyu returned home that night, she was still teaching two new maids, named Autumn Equinox and Winter Solstice. With everything together, plus the two maids brought over by Wang Mingshan, there are already six women in Zhang Zhou's house who can work. Plus the nursing home and other things, the population is close to twenty people, and that's not all. Including the Jin Yiwei who helped guard the home and the hospital at night.
"Master, you have been drinking." Jiang Pingyu took Zhang Zhou's coat and felt the smell of alcohol.
Zhang Zhou said with a smile. "After I won the first prize, I had a lot of social activities. There was a favor banquet during the day, and in the afternoon I went to the palace to accompany His Majesty, the Queen and the Queen Mother. I just had a few drinks and was not drunk at all. ”
Think everyone is like your father, a wine vat
Old Jiang and I are a little inferior when it comes to drinking, but anyone outside can be knocked down by him. , why does this guy like to come and drink with me? It’s not because he felt the pressure for the first time when those defeated men who fought against him faced him
“Go to bed early, I have to go to the palace early tomorrow morning inside. "Zhang Zhou said, "His Majesty also gave me a court uniform. I am a sixth-grade historian. From now on, I will be an official of the Hanlin Academy. "
Jiang Pingyu said happily, "Then the master will officially become an official. This is called Dengke. Master, didn't you say that I still want to be a child? In the past two days, I have taught the Wang family's sister a lesson.There are many things, she is already waiting for you in the room tonight. ”
“This”
Zhang Zhou then remembered that he had mentioned that he wanted to pass the exam after the big one.
But there are so many things going on today. I'm so busy, how can I remember to mention that I'm going to the palace early tomorrow morning to chat with the scholars? If I stay busy until very late tonight, I won't be able to sleep well and I won't be energetic tomorrow morning. What should I do?
"Oh, madam, you are so strange, why do you push your husband to someone else's bed?" Zhang Zhou sighed with emotion.
Jiang Pingyu stared. Big eyes.
Her husband actually came to ask her about her gender transition today
Zhang Zhou smiled and said, "I'm too tired today, so let's leave it to tomorrow." It should be convenient for her tomorrow."
"Should be, no problem. The master should come back early tomorrow. "Jiang Pingyu instructed.
"Well, I'll be back as soon as I'm done. I'll try to be back at noon. I won't go anywhere until the morning the day after tomorrow. If I don't work hard and do gymnastics, what can I do quickly?"
p>Zhang Zhou suddenly felt confident again
Although he couldn't do anything too strenuous tonight, he still wanted to have a good sleep with his wife in his arms, with a high bed and soft pillows that were warm and fragrant. It was so unenjoyable that I felt unworthy of traveling through time.
The next morning, Zhang Zhou put on his new court clothes and took Wang Mingshan out.
Wang Mingshan didn't mind at all about being cheated by Zhang Zhou last night. Even though Jiang Pingyu and Han Qing gave her some advice recently, she didn't understand what impact it would have on her life.
Isn’t it just sleeping?
Where to sleep is not sleeping, how to sleep is not sleeping
My grandfather and father have sent me to the Zhang family. How can I rest on the embroidered couch? It will be more tiring than following Zhang Zhou's butt every day
In the palace
In front of Fengtian Hall, the ministers entered the palace early. They didn't know that they were in court today. What will happen, but when they see Zhang Zhou arriving under the guidance of Xiao Jing, and Zhang Zhou is wearing an official uniform that should have been given to him after two days.
Some of them. The people seemed to realize that today's court meeting would not be too simple.
"Bingkuan, we meet again."
Zhang Zhou stood alone with the civil servants and could not reach Fengtian Hall. Civil servants who came to discuss matters would intentionally keep a distance from him.
But Wu Xun had no taboos, and Zhang Mao even warmly greeted Zhang Zhou to Wu Xun and returned them to the surroundings. Several honorable ministers made introductions.
"Bingkuan is a capable man. He is the number one scholar in the Ming Dynasty, and he will definitely become a general or prime minister in the future. Look at how appropriate this official uniform is. I can't match your majestic appearance like Bingkuan."
Zhang Mao doesn't blush at all when he praises people.
Wu Xun, on the other hand, seems to think that Zhang Mao is very right. The truth is, nodding should be a lot of words of help, which made the civil servants not far away feel very uncomfortable.A taste.
The sand in our eyes is like gold to Wu Xun
The court meeting begins.
Unsurprisingly, Zhang Zhou still stood at the bottom of the list of civil servants, standing together with several members of the Sixth Section.
The content discussed at the beginning of the court meeting involved the royal palaces in various places, natural and man-made disasters, as well as the bandits and bandits reported to local reports, etc. The thorny matters of the six departments were put into the second step. , as for Zhang Zhou, he just stood behind and listened. He was not called, so the matter had nothing to do with him, and there was no need for him to come out and add any opinions.
The meeting passed the middle stage.
Zhu Youtang personally raised the issue of the use of troops on the nine sides.
"At the end of the first month of the year, I asked Wang Weining to prepare for the war at Pianguan. In February, during the battle at Pianguan, the invasion of Di Yi by various groups had begun to subside. However, after entering March, The three guards of Duoyan and the little prince of Tatar still do not think about their duties as ministers, and they have been harassing the people on the borders one after another. In the past two months, I have dispatched and deployed defenses in various places on the nine borders, and you have many questions."
The ministers present said to themselves that there is no need for you, Your Majesty, to summarize it for us.
As long as you say, you will listen to us and follow our rules from now on, then no one will question you.
You listen to us, but we still question it, which means we question ourselves
Zhu Youtang said, "I don't want to explain too much about the use of troops. Some things involve God's will, I don't know if I should reveal it in advance. I specially called Zhang Zhou, a new scholar. He was involved in some things, especially the victory of the partial pass. He took the greatest credit. If you have any doubts, just ask him."
"Wow."
After the emperor finished speaking, the court instantly exploded. < /p>
The ministers here were still discussing in private, while Zhang Zhou walked out from the last row of the civil service team under the eyes of everyone, and walked slowly to the front of the main hall of Fengtian Hall. On the left and right are Liu Jian and Zhang Mao.
"I see you, Your Majesty." Zhang Zhou said.
Zhu Youtang smiled and said, "Zhang Qing's family, you don't have to be polite. There are some things today. It's up to you to talk to all the ministers. In fact, I don't understand some things very well. Let's just answer the questions together. Let’s clear up the confusion.”
“Yes.”
Zhang Zhou bowed his hands and responded respectfully.
Then he turned sideways and looked at the civil servants present.
He didn't need to look at Wu Xun. Just from Zhang Mao and others' previous attitude towards him, he could see that Wu Xun's power to participate in and discuss politics in the court was not as good as his.
During the Hongzhi period, the nobles were so happy that they were like dogs in the court, and they were expected to come out to take the lead.
Zhang Zhou cleared his throat, and in a calm tone that was neither humble nor arrogant, he said loudly, "I know that I have limited talents and limited knowledge. , his talents, knowledge and knowledge cannot be compared with those of the elders and ministers, but he also has his own opinions on the use of troops.If you have any doubts about some of my opinions, I will do my best to explain the reasons for you. However, if there are any important matters related to heaven and earth that cannot be explained clearly, please forgive me. Please be polite here first. "
Just from this opening point.
Even some picky people, such as Xie Qian, think Zhang Zhou is quite "aware".
You actually know how to admit your mistake to us first, which shows that you are not very talented.
But no matter how you look at it, you seem to be showing off your power to us.
We think you are. Don't fucking explain this is called stereotype and prejudice. The cause you planted should have the result today. You won't be able to change it for a while.
Xie Qian spoke sharply and asked with a smile, "God's will, what do you mean?" , are you using God's will to assist His Majesty in handling court affairs?"
Xie Qian was a master of sophistry at first glance. He didn't ask about the war in Liaodong, but first focused on the "God's will" in Zhang Zhou's words. Zhang Zhou's advice to the emperor was described as a treacherous act to seduce the emperor with the words of the alchemist.
Zhang Zhou smiled at the debate, regardless of the reason. As a result, it is indeed the first element of sophistry to just establish a position and criticize the opponent first, putting the opponent at a disadvantage in public opinion, and then preaching in an admonishing tone
This is the case. It's like a debate on a university campus.
But as an educator, he used to be the organizer and initiator of such debates, and he was going to have a debate today.
The opponent looks quite strong.
But compared to the debate masters trained in the future era of information explosion, it is not certain who is stronger.
Zhang Zhou was laughing in his heart.
Mr. >"Yes, Mr. Xie Ge, you are right. I am using God's will to advise His Majesty. I have talked a lot about strange powers and chaos. Sometimes even I don't know whether this God's will will really be fulfilled. So sometimes when I think about it, I feel very scared, for fear that if I make the wrong step, I will be easily doomed. "Zhang Zhou said to Xie Qian in a calm tone.
"Yeah"
Xie Qian was also confused.
This kid
Just admit it
It’s too easy for me to gain the upper hand in public opinion. Is this kid going to admit defeat? You don’t even understand the principle of using strange power to confuse gods without saying anything
Take it God assists in governing the country, do you want others not to know that you are a sycophant
Zhang Zhou took advantage of Xie Qian's surprise and was still wondering about the intention of Zhang Zhou's words, and turned towards Zhu Youtang He solemnly admitted his mistake and said, "Your Majesty, I always make suggestions based on God's will. Even the use of troops is often involved, and may be suspected of causing trouble to the government. I hope your Majesty will forgive me."
I admitted that I was wrong. This is a confession.
This
No matter how well Xie Qian knows how to debate, he is still a little surprised by what is happening in front of him.and.
Zhu Youtang smiled and said, "Zhang Qing's family, you don't have to blame yourself. God's will already exists. Otherwise, why since ancient times, kings and ministers have always dealt with the law of heaven, let alone you." From the beginning of my speech, none of the things you predicted have not been fulfilled. Whether it is the will of God or the human heart, you can clearly understand it. If you are blamed for this, then I am really too stupid."< /p>
Xie Qian heard this.
He couldn't help but close his eyes and sighed in his heart.
I didn’t expect this.
It seems that in the first sentence, this kid admits that he is an alchemist and a sycophant. But the biggest problem is not what he is, but that the emperor trusts him. What's even worse, None of this kid's previous suggestions were considered bad. Even if he was using God's will to fool things, the problem is that ministers have also liked to use God's will to make things happen since ancient times.
Otherwise, why did the disaster in Qingning Palace happen? After that, there were hundreds of memorials in the imperial court just talking about the disaster. Even the ministers like them even wanted to resign on the grounds of offending God. Even the emperor had to issue an imperial edict because of the fire in Qingning Palace.
Everyone doesn’t believe it, so why do you do this kind of thing
It doesn’t matter whether your ministers believe it or not, or whether the emperor believes it or not.
It is mainly believed by the common people.
What is even more remarkable now is that the emperor believed everything Zhang Zhou said.
Are you angry?
“Mr. I beg your Majesty to forgive me for anything I didn't say. However, I mentioned the deployment of troops on all sides due to God's will. It was never a rash advance or a proactive move, but the outcome of the battle was a bit off. Losing control is also the result of Weining Hou's own decision-making strategy. I didn't let him blow up the city gate. It has nothing to do with me."
Zhang Zhou was admitting that he was a magician. But he is still shirking responsibility for himself.
Xie Qian didn’t understand for a while what this kid’s tricks were.
Why does arguing with this guy make people want to hit him?
The tone of speaking, the offending posture, and the rude way of facing problems, do you know what the golden mean is? There are some things and positions that you should not avoid
< p> Zhu Youtang said, "I can also testify for the Zhang Qing family. At that time, the Zhang Qing family only proposed that in mid-February, the Tatars might invade the border and return the mighty sky gunpowder, craftsmen and manufacturers of the sky gunpowder. The materials were brought to Pianguan by Wang Weining himself. As for how to use the troops, Zhang Qing's family did not participate too much. He was still in the Gongyuan at that time. "This made Xie Qian even more powerless.
Zhang Zhou was playing tricks here, but the emperor was behind him.
Both the debate notary and the referee sided with Zhang Zhou. No wonder this guy can play his cards differently. Please remember to bookmark, the latest and fastest website is free to read without anti-theft
