When the new list of officials was sent to the Greenhouse Palace, Zhang Anshi's carriage stopped at the door of the general's back house.

At the last great court meeting, the Son of Heaven reappointed many officials in the court - the official positions were moved, and the family had to be moved.

So in the past few days, the governors of the Jiuqing and the two governments and many cabinet courtiers are busy moving.

Because the officials of the Chinese and foreign dynasties cannot concurrently serve each other, under the system of the front and back houses, the mansions are somewhat insufficient.

The Son of Heaven took out more than a dozen of them from the mansion that he had not received in the greedy ink case and distributed them to the courtiers, which was considered to be a solution to the urgent need.

The original Great General's Mansion itself is also the Great Sima Mansion, so Zhang Anshi, who is no longer the Great Sima, should not live here

But the Son of Heaven deliberately gave grace, saying that Zhang Anshi was still a general and a chief scholar, and he should live more spaciously.

So I still let Zhang Anshi move into the former Huo Mansion.

As for the new Grand Sima Mansion, it was replaced by the original Prime Minister's Mansion - the Prime Minister's Mansion is no longer necessary.

To be honest, Zhang Anshi was very reluctant to move into this great general's mansion.

Although the atmosphere here is a little more magnificent, it is also really unlucky.

Jun En couldn't bear it, how could Zhang Anshi refuse, so after he wrote a letter of thanks, his family moved into the General's Mansion.

Before moving in, he specially asked the Son of Heaven for five rolls of firecrackers, and they were released in different locations in the back house of the General's Mansion.

Although Zhang Anshi thinks that the power of this firecracker is too strong and does not conform to the golden mean, he also has to admit that if it is about getting rid of evil spirits, this firecracker does seem to be more powerful than firecrackers.

In addition, Zhang Anshi also sent someone to clean up all the seven or eight wells in the general's back house, but fortunately, no dead bodies were found.

I don't know if "the well in the back house of the general's mansion is full of unjust souls" is a rumor, or if the subordinate officials of Tingwei Temple who investigated the case have already removed the body from the well.

Zhang Anshi didn't investigate this matter in detail, because there are some things that are better to be confused.

But fortunately, it has been a few days since the Zhang family moved here, and everything is normal in the back house, and nothing strange has happened.

After Zhang Anshi got out of the car, he did not enter the door immediately, but looked up at the plaque with the word "Zhang Zhai" written on the door.

Once upon a time, this plaque still wrote "Huo House".

Zhang Anshi's father, Zhang Tang, once served as the imperial historian, and it was at that time that the Zhang family went to glory.

However, Zhang Anshi and his father Zhang Tang have completely different styles in dealing with the world.

Zhang Tang was not a Confucian scholar, but a scholar from the most ordinary and lowly lawyers.

During his decades of career, Zhang Tang was known for his familiarity with the law, and once participated in the formulation of the "Yue Gong Law" and the "Chao Law".

When he was an official, Zhang Tang attacked the wealthy businessmen, punished the hoe and the strong and merged the family, and was known as a cool official by the world, and was also deeply used by Emperor Xiaowu.

He assisted Emperor Xiaowu in implementing the system of salt and iron official camps and reckoning and accusations, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is powerful.

Zhang Tang has never been a prime minister in his life, but he has acted as prime minister many times, and his power is much higher than that of the prime minister.

The official positions in the court can't be counted at all: with the trust of the Son of Heaven, the imperial historian is more powerful than the imperial doctor, and without the trust of the Son of Heaven, the prime minister is just a decoration.

Compared with the current Zhang Anshi, Zhang Tang had a higher status in the court at that time.

But what about Zhang Tang's final ending?

But he ended up dead.

In the second year of the Yuan and Ding dynasties, Li Wen and Zhu Maichen, the prime minister, fabricated charges and framed Zhang Tang for hoarding Juqi for their own profits.

Emperor Xiaowu, who was suspicious by nature, believed it and directly sent his minister Zhang Yu to Zhang's house to interrogate Zhang Tang, wanting him to confess his guilt and surrender to the law.

Zhang Tang, who had a hard temperament, did not admit his guilt, and committed suicide after a letter of defense.

After his death, the family was liquidated, and the Zhangjia Mansion only had 500 gold—all from the rewards of the Son of Heaven and the money and food in peacetime, and none of the money came from the wrong way.

Emperor Xiaowu was remorseful for killing Zhang Tang by mistake, and executed the person who framed Zhang Tang, and promoted the young Zhang Anshi to an official.

However, this great change in the family has turned Zhang Anshi's temperament upside down.

Since then, Zhang Anshi has become a cautious person, and he is an official everywhere as a standard, for fear of being labeled as a cool official.

Twenty years after Zhang Tang's suicide, Zhang Anshi's brother Zhang He was implicated in the witch rebellion and sentenced to palace punishment.

This made Zhang Anshi even more silent, and he did not fight or grab in the court - all in order to avoid repeating the mistakes of his father and brother.

Until now, Zhang Anshi often sees the scene of his father hanging himself in the main hall.

Zhang Anshi's greatest wish is to let the Zhang family live endlessly.

It doesn't have to be a very popular minister, but it must always have a place in the Han court.

After cholera was pacified, Zhang Anshi thought that the Son of Heaven would become a benevolent monarch, so he would "publicize" a lot, and his advice and advice were much more frequent.

But unexpectedly, the Son of Heaven is becoming more and more like Emperor Xiaowu.

This made Zhang Anshi suddenly realize that he could no longer be as "public" as he was a few months ago, but should be more careful.

……

In this way, Zhang Anshi watched a stick of incense in front of the door for a while, and then gradually withdrew his gaze.

However, he still did not walk in with his feet raised, but listened carefully to the movements around him with his hands behind his back.

It was much more deserted than when Huo Guang was there.

Although Zhang Anshi is also a general now, he doesn't have to deal with military affairs, and he doesn't need to lead troops to fight on the battlefield in the future, so there is no need to build a government.

Therefore, the general's front office was naturally empty, and there were only a dozen guards guarding and maintaining.

Zhang Anshi doesn't think there's anything wrong, now on the cusp of changing the law and implementing a new policy, it's better to be quiet.

At this time, an old slave in his fifties of the Zhang family ran out of the door to greet the head of his family.

"Fujun, Dafujun is here." Yu Ren said respectfully.

"Oh? How long has it been here? ”

The Dafujun mentioned by Yu Ren is naturally Zhang Anshi's brother Zhang He.

"I've been waiting in the study for more than an hour."

"Well, go tell Dafu-kun that I'll see him after dinner, and ask him to wait for me for a while."

"No!" Yu Ren saluted respectfully, and then trotted through the door.

Zhang Anshi shook the dust on his robe, and finally raised his feet and walked into the house from under the plaque of "Zhang Zhai".

He naturally knew Zhang He's intention, so after a hurried dinner, he came to the study.

The two Zhang brothers sat down opposite the case, and after chatting a few words, they went straight to the point.

"Brother Xian, the county official made such a big move in the court, it won't cause any turmoil, right?"

Zhang He is seven or eight years older than Zhang Anshi, and because he was tortured by the palace, he only has a few sparse beards on his chin, and he looks younger than Zhang Anshi.

"Brother, rest assured, although the county official's behavior is a little reckless, he just doesn't want to let a powerful minister like Huo Guang no longer appear in the court." Zhang Anshi enlightened.

Zhang He nodded thoughtfully and as if he didn't understand, and his face finally relaxed a little.

"A few days ago, the court order also received the "Government Office Meeting", and the change in the court is really not small."

"If the county officials want to change the law and implement a new policy, they naturally want to let the court obey their orders, and in the past seven or eight days, the government has been running smoothly."

"This county official is becoming more and more like Emperor Xiaowu, and he is always a little scared for his brother." Zhang He said resignedly.

"The county officials want to chase Emperor Xiaowu, which is also a good thing, and it's time to solve the Western Regions and the Xiongnu."

"That's right, it's just that in the past few days, my brother has dreamed of my father from time to time...... He always told my two brothers to be careful in his dreams. ”

"Brother, why haven't I been?" Zhang Anshi also sighed and said.

"I hope that the Han Dynasty can be peaceful, and there will be no more incidents, and the Zhang family will not be able to have any more incidents." Zhang He seemed to say to himself.

The two brothers fell silent for a moment, and the laughter of the children in the house mixed with the sound of the silk and bamboo orchestra reached the room, and their minds gradually calmed down.

After a while, Zhang He stopped talking, his face full of hesitation.

"Brother, there's something to do, but it's okay to say it." Zhang Anshi took the initiative to ask.

"This ......" Zhang He seemed to have made a lot of determination before he spoke, "Brother Xian is not annoying for his brother......

"Brother, my two brothers, don't be so polite."

"It's about my brother's change to the temple order, and I want to ask for my brother...... There may be the following ......"

Zhang Anshi sighed again, then shook his head gently, and said helplessly: "Brother, it's all my fault that I'm too hesitant, this matter is not easy to handle now." ”

Zhang He's eyes that were originally full of anticipation darkened, and he had already guessed such a result before he came today.

The court has changed, and many things that used to be easy to do are now difficult to do.

Moving a seat to Zhang He is something that Zhang Anshi and Zhang He decided on last year's big removal.

At that time, Zhang Anshi was the general of the Great Sima, the secretary of the Lingshu, and the actual prime minister.

The appointment of a temple order of 600 stone is not only a matter that cannot be smaller, but also within the scope of duty, and no one can gossip.

At that time, Zhang Anshi only had to communicate with the Consul General Shangshu Bingji, and he could draft an order in the name of the Shangshu Department and send it to Shaofu and Taichang Temple.

First dismiss Zhang Heye from his position, and then let him take up his post in Taichang Temple.

The whole process will probably only take a few hours.

Don't say that you won't alarm the high Son of Heaven, even the other Lingshang scholars won't notice it—they naturally don't want to care about these trivial matters.

Even when Huo Guang was in power, it was not difficult for Zhang Anshi, who was close to Huo Guang, to do this.

He only needs to go to Huo Guang to say a few good words and ask for an edict to let Zhang He escape from the hard work of the court.

The reason why Zhang Anshi has not done so is because he doesn't want to give people a handle.

But now, the situation is completely different, Zhang Anshimo said that it was to appoint a 600-stone temple order, or to appoint a 200-stone tyrant.

"Brother Xian, is this really not easy to do?" Zhang He asked unrelentingly.

"Brother, listen to me first, tell me about the difficulties, so as not to mistakenly think that I am wise enough to protect my life." Zhang Anshi said helplessly.

"No, no, no, my brother knows the sinister in the court, and he will never dare to have such an idea." Zhang He waved his hand again and again.

"I'm not blaming my brother, it's just that I'm really helpless." Zhang Anshi shook his head with a wry smile.

Zhang He saw the helplessness on Zhang Anshi's face, so he stopped stopping it.

Zhang Anshi took a piece of rice paper and wrote the words Taichang Temple, Shaofu, Guangluxun and Cabinet on the paper.

"Although my brother is only a court order, if you want to transfer to the temple order now, you have to go through so many Taoist hands."

"First of all, Su Wu must go to Guangluxun Gong Sui and say that he lacks a member of the temple order......"

"Then I want Guangluxun Gong Sui to go to Shaofu Wei Xuancheng and say that he wants to transfer his brother to the temple order."

[There are a few chapters in the front that have crippled hands, and Wei Xian (father) is written as Wei Xuancheng (son)]

"After the Shaofu agreed, Guangluxun wrote a recital and sent it to the cabinet."

"After the cabinet vote is drafted, the county official will be approved, and then he will return to Guangluxun, and then go through the transfer procedures."

"Brother, you can take a look, this procedure is many times more complicated than before, and I can only use my strength in the cabinet."

Every time Zhang Anshi said a step, he drew an arrow on the paper.

By the time the whole process was finished, the paper was already pitch black.

Ask for a full order!
