readx; After a while, Zhang Zhijie walked into the study and bowed deeply to his father, "The child sees his father." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Zhang Yun's eldest son Zhang Xun was born to his wife, he has been an official in the field for many years, rarely comes back, and the relationship with Zhang Yun is weak, and the mother of the second son Zhijie is Zhang Yun's former confidante, poetry is extremely high, is a famous record in Chang'an, but never only talked about poetry and did not sell his body, and later fell in love with Zhang Yun, but because of her background, Zhang Yun's father, Prime Minister Zhang said that she was resolutely not allowed to enter Zhang's house, she has not been able to marry Zhang Yun, and soon after giving birth to a son to Zhang Yun, she died, which is Zhang Yun's biggest heartache in more than 20 years.

Love house and Wu, he also likes her son the most, although Zhijie has read poetry and books since he was a child, and his talent is extremely high, and with his ability to Xiangguo, it is easy for his son to become an official, but Zhang Yun has always been reluctant to let him out, and has always kept him by his side, handling some entertainment chores for himself, this time if he didn't have to show his allegiance to Li Qing'an and reverse the image of the grass on the wall, he would never let his son join the army.

Zhang Yun hadn't seen his son for three months, and when he saw that he seemed to have become darker and thinner than last time, he couldn't help but feel distressed, so he asked, "Is my son working hard in the army?" ”

"Back to my father's words, the Anxi army has strict military discipline, and the fifth watch must be lined up to point out, and there are many affairs, although it is very hard, but the child's heart feels very fulfilling, and the child heard that Pei Zhili is also a clerk, and he has been taking the exam for two years, he can endure this hardship, why is the child not as good as him?"

Zhang Yun nodded, his son knows how to be motivated, this is a good thing, now the children of the important ministers in the court, many of them are gentlemen, and their sons are obviously different from them, which makes Zhang Yun feel very gratified, although he sent his son to the Anxi Army to join the army as a last resort, but now he feels that he seems to be doing the right thing, and training in the Anxi Army can indeed produce talents.

What impressed him the most was Pei Yu, the young Qing of Honglu Temple, although he was not very old, he was able to advance and retreat well, his talents were outstanding, and he had become a leader of the younger generation, and he had to admit that Li Qing'an's promotion of Pei Yu was not only that he married Li Qing'an's sister-in-law, not only that he was the grandson of Pei's family, but that he was indeed young and very talented, much more capable than many old guys.

This is because he went to Anxi to exercise for a few years, and when he came back, he was like being reborn, and he saw that his son also had a little bit of Pei Yu's shadow, which made Zhang Yun feel very happy in his heart, and he had a successor!

He stroked his beard and smiled: "Very good, you make your father feel very gratified, you have been humble and self-disciplined since you were a child, and then go to the Anxi army to sharpen for a few years, and my father believes that you have a bright future in the future." ”

After a pause, he smiled again and asked, "Why did you think of going home tonight, are you resting?" ”

"Back to my father, it was the general who asked me to come back."

"Li Qing'an!"

Zhang Yun was taken aback, "He, he went back to Beijing?" ”

Zhang Yun's heart was suddenly in chaos, Li Qingan returned to Beijing and they didn't know at all, it was obvious that he was returning for Pei Zunqing's death, he tried to restrain the chaos in his heart, and asked, "What did he let you come back for?" ”

"The general asked me to bring a message to my father."

"What?"

"The general said, please cheer up, preside over the court situation, calm down the impact of Pei Xiangguo's assassination as soon as possible, and let the court get on the right track."

Zhang Yun perked up and hurriedly said, "Is this what he said?" ”

"Yes! These are the exact words of the great general. ”

Zhang Yun's angry heart was like a spring breeze blowing in, and he suddenly became active, and he heard Li Qing'an's unspoken meaning, it turned out to be the meaning of letting him be the right minister, the right phase! How many years has he been looking forward to it, is it really going to come to his head? Wait, don't think too pretty, things haven't gotten to that point yet.

"Anything else?" Zhang Yun tried his best to calm down his excitement.

"Father, the general is going to transfer me to Hu Benwei to do paperwork and seal writing."

"Oh!" Zhang Yun was even more surprised, a series of things that happened today seemed to be in his favor, could it be that Li Qingan wanted to enable him?

Although surprised, but he was more of a joy in his heart, his son was reused no less than he got the position of the right minister, Hu Benwei wrote the seal pen means that his son will enter Li Qing'an's inner circle of power, generally speaking, the pen will be around Li Qing'an, I heard about many confidential matters, this is only a confidant is qualified, why would Li Qing'an promote his son? Isn't he afraid that some Anxi Army secrets will be known to him?

Zhang Yun was puzzled in his heart, he glanced at his son again, only to see that his son's eyes were clear and upright, biting his lip tightly, at this moment, Zhang Yun suddenly realized something? A kind of loss welled up in his heart, as a father, he didn't know his son as well as Li Qingan, and he had to admire Li Qing'an's way of employing people, even if his son knew the inside story of the Anxi Army, he would never leak it to himself, which was also a test for Li Qing'an's son.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yun smiled bitterly and said: "I understand, you can go to Tiger Benwei with peace of mind, being a father will not embarrass you and will not harm your future." ”

The reason why Zhang Yun is called the tumbler in the officialdom is not that he is good at management, nor is he left and right, but more because he has a kind of political wisdom that ordinary people do not have, and he can grasp the balance in many major matters, for example, Li Longji once wanted to invite him to the Southern Tang Dynasty, but Zhang Yun chose to give up Li Longji at the last moment, he saw that Li Longji was at the end of the twilight, even if it was orthodox, but he did not have the strong strength of Li Qingan, and he did not have the vitality of Li Qingan.

So although he fell back and forth, in the end he still firmly followed Li Qing'an, compared to Yang Guozhong, Wang Hui, Chen Xilie, Yang Shenjin and other contemporaries, only he has not fallen.

Similarly, although his son entered Li Qing'an's inner circle and could know more inside information, Zhang Yun knew that he couldn't intervene, although getting inside information could make him gain temporary benefits, but it would ruin his son's future and ruin the future of their family, compared with the so-called confidential information, the future of his son and the future of the family are much more important.

Zhang Zhijie is also most worried about what his father will tell him to do, he feels that Li Qingan has always trusted him, he doesn't want to betray this trust, if his father forces him to do something and say something, he will feel very painful, now his father can finally understand him, and promised not to embarrass him, which makes Zhang Zhijie surprised and happy, and said deeply: "Thank you father for understanding the child." ”

Zhang Yun nodded and smiled: "Go ahead!" Go back to the barracks now, since it's not a holiday, you can't miss the Ming Day, go back quickly! I can still close the gates in time. ”

"The boy is gone."

Zhang Zhijie suddenly knelt down, kowtowed to his father, turned around and left quickly, Zhang Yun listened to his son's footsteps in a daze, his eyes were a little moist......

Not long after Zhang Zhijie left, Zhang Yun was preparing to sort out the recent political affairs in the imperial court, since Li Qingan asked him to preside over the court affairs, he had to make an appearance, he estimated that Li Qingan said so, then he would not enter the city for the time being in the past two days, and would stay outside the city all the time, waiting for the political situation to stabilize.

At this time, the housekeeper came to report again: "Master, Wei Shangshu is here, and I have something urgent to see." ”

What does Wei Tao do? Zhang Yun pondered for a moment, then immediately got up and said, "Prepare the carriage, I want to go out." ”

This is the decisiveness that a politician needs, he and Wei Tao came together in order to deal with Pei Zunqing together, and became the Wei Party, with Pei Zunqing's death, there were signs of mutual suspicion between them, not because they suspected that the other party killed Pei Zunqing, but the basis for the alliance between them did not exist, this is politics, there are no permanent enemies, and there are no eternal allies.

Now that Li Qingan has entrusted him to preside over the affairs of the court, he must draw a clear line with the Wei Party, Zhang Yun doesn't want to have too much entanglement with Wei Tao, and he doesn't even have the heart to invite him into the study to discuss in detail.

．．．．．．

Wei Tao waited in front of the mansion for a while, and then the side door of Zhang's mansion opened, and he saw Zhang Yun walking out in formal clothes, "Hehe! Let Wei Shangshu wait for a long time. ”

Wei Tao was about to speak, but suddenly saw the carriage behind Zhang Yun, the guards were all ready to ride horses, and he couldn't help but be stunned: "Brother Zhang is going out?" ”

"I was about to go to Chaofang to get a few official documents, and I will approve them to the Privy Council tomorrow, but I didn't expect Wei Shangshu to come, what a coincidence!"

Wei Tao frowned, Zhang Yun has been ignoring government affairs these days, and when does he want to get any official documents, it is obviously a prevarication, he doesn't want to see him.

Wei Tao sighed secretly in his heart, he thought that Zhang Yun was still dissatisfied with him because of suspicion, and he came to Zhang Yun to clarify the matter, at this juncture, he needed Zhang Yun's support, Pei Zunqing is dead, then he Wei Tao should take over as the right minister, from the perspective of the power structure of the imperial court, it is now the Wei party that has the advantage.

Even if Zhang Yun didn't want to see him, he had to talk to Zhang Yun about it.

"Then I'll accompany Brother Zhang! I have a few words to say to Brother Zhang. ”

Zhang Yun really wanted to go back to Chaofang to sort out some information, but when he saw that Wei Tao refused to let him go, he had to nod and said, "Okay, Wei Shangshu, please get into the carriage." ”

The two got into the carriage, the carriage started to accelerate, and galloped towards the Daming Palace, with a hundred guards with knives on horseback guarding the left and right, and Wei Tao's carriage followed closely behind.

They sat opposite each other in the carriage, Zhang Yun's scholar served them hot tea, Zhang Yun took a sip of the hot tea and said with a smile: "Wei Shangshu is a little restless, why is this?" ”

Wei Tao heard him call himself Wei Shangshu, not the former Brother Wei, this slight change in title seemed to make Wei Tao feel something, he sighed, and said sincerely: "I want to apologize to you, the last meeting, I was a little reckless with my words." ”

"A little thing, how could I take it to heart, didn't I also suspect that it was Wei Shangshu's hand at that time? It happened suddenly, everyone was unprepared, and they were out of proportion for a while, which is reasonable, and Wei Shangshu doesn't need to apologize to me. ”

Zhang Yun took a bite of Wei Shangshu, which made Wei Tao listen to it very harshly, he was silent for a while, and said slowly: "I don't know if Brother Zhang thought of it, who did it?" ”

Zhang Yun shook his head and said: "It's possible for anyone, it's impossible for anyone, the New Party, the Wei Party, An Lushan, Li Heng, but there is no evidence, I think it's best to leave the matter behind, give him a name after his death, and it can be regarded as an explanation to the Pei family." ”

Wei Tao was silent, only listening to him muttering to himself: "It's not over, I'm afraid that the Pei family won't agree, and he won't accept ......."

His voice became smaller and quieter, and finally it was almost inaudible, Zhang Yun glanced at him, and asked with a smile: "Why, Wei Shangshu knows the truth?" ”

"Nope!"

Wei Tao hurriedly shook his head, "I don't know, how can I know, it's just some random speculation, as Brother Zhang said, anyone is possible, no one is possible, without evidence, I dare not say anything." ”

"Hmm!"

Zhang Yun sat up straight, and at this time he didn't want to test each other anymore, so he raised his voice slightly and said, "That being said, I think this should have something to do with Nantang!" Wei Shangshu, tomorrow I plan to propose to convene a joint meeting of the Political Hall and the Privy Council to conclude this matter, Pei Xiangguo's death has the most to do with the Southern Tang Dynasty, in short, this matter must be concluded as soon as possible, and it can no longer affect the operation of the imperial court's government affairs, Wei Shangshu thinks? ”

I couldn't say it just now, and now I have to set the tone for what the Southern Tang Dynasty did, Zhang Yun's words are obviously contradictory, so Wei Tao can't figure out what he is thinking?

But for these heavyweights, these flickering words are actually not important, the key is to listen to what is hidden under these flickering words, Wei Tao was stunned for a moment, Zhang Yun wanted to convene a meeting, what did he mean, did he want to preside over government affairs?

Originally, Wei Tao was looking for Zhang Yun today, wanting Zhang Yun to support him to lead government affairs, so that he Wei Tao would become the de facto head of the hundred officials, and finally Li Qingan couldn't accept the facts and made him the right minister, but now, he heard from Zhang Yun's tone, it seems that Zhang Yun is also thinking about this leading position, Wei Tao suddenly became vigilant in his heart, maybe this Zhang Yun is his real opponent, dangerous! Wei Tao immediately swallowed back all the words he wanted to say later.

He glanced at Zhang Yun deeply, and couldn't say anything more to this person.

The carriage was speeding down a small street, the moonlight was fainting in the clouds, the light was shining through the windows, and their faces were sometimes bright and dark, both of them were thinking about their hearts, Wei Tao thought about contacting Wang Jin, reorganizing the Wei party, and eliminating the dissidents; And Zhang Yun is thinking about tomorrow's meeting, where should he start, in order to smoothly realize his dominance of Pei Zunqing's affairs.

The two remained silent, and when they arrived on Suzaku Street, Wei Tao said lightly: "Zhang Xiangguo, it's time for me to go home, I'm really sorry to disturb Zhang Xiangguo tonight." ”

"It doesn't matter! Anyway! Wei Shangshu, please! ”

Wei Tao listened to his extremely cold tone, and he was also angry in his heart, so quickly he turned his face and didn't recognize people, hum! He wants to dominate, he doesn't let him lead, he sets the tone of the Southern Tang Dynasty, he doesn't admit it, let him Zhang Yun dream!

"Farewell!"

Wei Tao got out of the carriage and walked towards his carriage angrily, Zhang Yun looked at the back of his carriage and walked away, and couldn't help but smile proudly, if he didn't have a match, how could Li Qingan rest assured that he would be the right minister? No, isn't the opponent coming?

"The carriage turns around and goes to Pei Min's Mansion!"
