In this regard, Zhang Dian already secretly hated two people in his heart, one was the punishment who came up with that bad idea, and the other was Yang Wei, who was a little carried away in front of him.

In fact, Zhang Dian knew that he had done something wrong, but he was not willing to admit that it was his own fault at all.

But where is Yang Wei's pride! But when he was waiting for a few of them, he was tired by Zhao Xu's call. Who made him known for his lot of ideas? He didn't know it himself, so he was confused and thundered for Cai Dao.

After listening to Yang Wei's objective statement, these important ministers agreed one after another.

All of you here are the backbone of the reform faction, and naturally they don't have any good feelings towards this Empress Dowager Xiang, who has always opposed the reform of the law and has always been the umbrella of the conservatives. With the experience of the Empress Dowager, who dares to keep it right, this Empress Dowager will not have any more moths?

What's more, compared with the Empress Dowager Xiang, Concubine Zhu is the real and most standard Empress Dowager in the minister's mind. has a gentle and supple personality, and the queen mother's family has three surnames, but they are not wealthy families. Unlike the Empress Dowager Xiang, it is also a family of military ministers. Although it is not as good as Gao Taotao and Empress Renzong Cao, it is also much stronger than Concubine Zhu's family.

The decision was made, and the ministers went out of the palace to engage in tandem.

First of all, it is Han Zhongyan.

The person he wanted to persuade was naturally Li Qingchen, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites.

This position is very important in today's court, especially next year, when the official family abolishes the results of the first two imperial examinations, and in the first imperial examination after the pro-government, more people will be selected.

Han Zhongyan knew that this was to persuade Li Qingchen, and he did not have to persuade the other party.

The temper of this cousin-in-law is well known to the world.

Expect Li Qingchen to agree to this matter, but why not expect the sun to come out in the west?

If the other party did not agree, Han Zhongyan hoped that Li Qingchen would not immediately play to object, but should immediately resign from his official position as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and leave the capital.

For this reason, Han Zhongyan even did not hesitate to meet his cousin first.

In this regard, his cousin was silent for a long time, and then expressed her willingness to help her cousin persuade her husband, but the woman still hoped that her cousin could arrange a good place for Jeff to go.

Within a few months, Li Qingchen was about to be driven out of the capital, and his family was naturally uncomfortable. But who made Li Qingchen embarrassed?

So, under the attack from both sides, Li Qingchen finally chose to compromise, and the next day, he took the initiative to ask Zhao Xu for his resignation.

Zhao Xu, who learned the inside story in advance, actually admired this honest official.

It's a pity that the current situation is not the time for him, the emperor, to be soft-hearted.

Next year's imperial examination that shocked China and foreign countries, but the real first key task and achievement after Zhao Xu's pro-government, whether it can win the hearts of poor scholars in the world depends on whether this Ministry of Rites Shangshu is competent.

In desperation, Zhao Xu had no choice but to place Li Qingchen in Hezhong Mansion as the prefect. And the new secretary of the Ministry of Rites is Zhang Shangying, a native of Shu.

For example, today, if you write essays, poems and songs, the leaders are naturally none other than the Su brothers. And Zhang Shangying, who is also a Shu person, is not bad, and in the past eight years, in the Shu School on the outskirts of the capital, he has brushed his reputation to the third person in Shu, and many poor students in the Gyeonggi area will go to this school to study from Zhang Shangying in these eight years.

This has undoubtedly become Zhang Shangying's biggest political capital, before, if it wasn't for appeasing and rewarding the Xiangzhou Han family to take the initiative to cater to themselves, the position of the Ministry of Rites Shangshu should have been Zhang Shangying's, but now it is just a matter of returning to the original owner.

However, Zhao Xu did not rush to issue this holy decree, but had to observe it carefully. Because, Zhang Shangying's own political tendencies have never been too obvious, and when Wang Anshi changed the law, he has always been opposed, but who knows that Sima Guang still looks down on him. This also led to Zhang Shangying being in the Shu School during the Yuanyou period and refusing to come out.

Also, it is the matter of abolishing the Empress Dowager Xiang, and Zhao Xu doesn't know if Zhang Shangying will jump out and strongly oppose this matter.

Han Zhongyan would rather lose this Austrian aid for the time being. Unwillingly, Li Qingchen angered the official family because of this incident, and finally implicated himself. It's a long time coming, and today is just a temporary loss.

The second is naturally Zeng Bu, his compatriot brother Zeng Zhao, stubborn, not inferior to Li Qingchen at all. Of course, he didn't want his brother to be separated after just a few days of stability.

Unexpectedly, after Zeng Bu finished speaking, Zeng Zhao was only silent for a while, and then said to him: "Brother Bu rest assured, Brother Wei will not take a position on this matter." ”

"Brother, you might as well get sick and go out of Beijing for a few days." Zeng Bu was also afraid that this incident would affect Zeng Zhao's reputation, so he came up with an idea.

"Alas......!" Zeng Zhao sighed deeply, shook his head and said, "'If you want to return to yourself, who will you return?'" 'Brother Bu, how many people have you deceived with such a plan to cover your ears and steal the bell, can you deceive yourself? ”

"Brother, I found that after entering Beijing this time, you have changed, and you have changed a lot, and I don't recognize you as a younger brother?" Listening to his brother's words, Zeng Bu looked straight at the other party and said in surprise.

Zeng Zhao said with a wry smile: "Brother has indeed changed a lot, listen to people's persuasion and eat well." I have to change as a brother! In the past eight years, my brother has been wandering all the way, and it is not easier than you in Lingnan. The reason why the official family wants to do this now is not that the Empress Dowager has been adopting a coercive education method, which has led to today's evil consequences. The official family is still young now, and there are some things that we ministers can do as he likes, but there are some things that must be advised to him. ”

"Yes! Sow good causes, reap good results. However, with such a big thing as the abolition of the Queen Mother, does my brother really have to think about it? Zeng Bu asked with some uncertainty.

Zeng Zhao asked: "If you can't figure it out, you don't want to, you know?" Before being a brother, he was belittled by those traitors, and he thought he was miserable. However, someone gave an example to Brother Wei, Zhang Lei, you know! ”

"Naturally, I know that this person is honest and self-disciplined, and his writing is brilliant. He was one of Sue's four bearded students. Now he has been appointed as the transfer envoy of Hedong Road and the prefect of Taiyuan Prefecture. Zeng Bu replied without thinking.

"Yes, but do you know what he was going through?"

Zeng Bu recalled carefully, shook his head and replied, "I don't know." ”

"Xu is because of Su Shi's opposition to the change of the law, this good official has been in exile for the same as what happened to his brother in the past eight years, he is actually just going around in the position of county lieutenant, county officer, and chief bookkeeper, and he has never been a county magistrate. Later, Cai Daochang recommended him to the first emperor. It's a pity that he was unlucky, and after being the magistrate for three years, he caught up with the death of the first emperor. This time, because of Su Shi, he couldn't even get a petty official, so he had to go to Hangzhou to join his teacher. …… Later, he returned to his hometown to run a school. Zeng Zhao said Zhang Lei's resume in detail like a few treasures.

How many eight and ten years are there in life!

In this way, a good official was suppressed by the reformers and conservatives for ten and eight years.

After hearing what happened to Zhang Lei, Zeng Zhao suddenly asked: "Brother, is this the real reason why you and Cai Yuanchang are fighting for this official book." ”

At that time, many people were optimistic that Cai Jing would be able to become the official position of the sixth department, second only to the Ministry of Rites, but the result was unbelievable. Even Cai Jing still doesn't know how he lost to Zeng Zhao, a nerd.

"Not bad. It was this position that my brother was fighting for. Although I also know that my ability is limited, as long as I am still in this position, within the scope of my ability, Brother Wei will always spare no effort to find a place for those good officials to display their ambitions, and also find a good official who can help them for those people who are still suffering. Zeng Zhao replied proudly.

"Then, brother, ......" Zeng Bu didn't know how to ask for a while.

"Do you want to ask, how did Brother Wei win Cai Yuanchang?" Zeng Zhao didn't sell Guanzi, and replied bluntly: "It's very simple, Shangong notice." At the beginning, Cai Xianggong's ability was no worse than today's Zhang Caixiang and Cai Yushi, but he was not subordinate to Wang Xianggong. Of course, Wang Xianggong's actions were still too low, so he decided to learn some mountains for his brother.

What's more, the official family may be a little stubborn in employing people now, but after a long time, there are many mistakes. When the official family reaps people, they have to consider the views of their brothers, and they have to be cautious. ”

"Brother is really thoughtful!" After listening to Zeng Zhao's words, Zeng Buda's strategy of respecting his brother from the bottom of his heart was too high.

It's no wonder that Cai Jing, who has always thought highly of himself, will also be defeated. Under this strategy, even if Wang Jue is reborn, he can't compete with his brother.

Zeng Zhao originally didn't plan to take this credit for himself, but considering that Cai Dao had always had a low opinion of Zeng Bu, that is, he didn't want to have too much contact with his brother.
