Chapter 1320 Chess game (two updates combined with one update)
Zhang Yue went to Yongjia to meet Guan Shifu, who Guan Shichang met Lin Shi.
First, he sent someone to send the post and set the date. Zhang Yue then took a boat along the Oujiang River to meet in Yongjia.
In late spring, the Oujiang River water is wrapped with the newly-launched green in the mountains, and the fine silver waves are rolling up on the bluestone beach. Zhang Yue thought of the "Yongjia Tu Jing" that he read in the pavilion when he first entered the third hall. This book is written by In the early Sui Dynasty.
Yongjia was already an important place in Jiangnan during the Sui and Tang Dynasties.
Yongjia is surrounded by mountains on three sides and facing the sea. Before the sea ban was lifted, local merchants had traded with Goryeo.
Now since Su Shi took the envoy to Goryeo, Zhang Yue decided to fully open up the ban on Goryeo through the form of imperial merchants and trade with Goryeo through the plan of suppressing the Liao Kingdom.
The merchants no longer concealed their identities as royal merchants by buying pounce, and began to trade back and forth between Goryeo and Tanluo through sea routes.
Although Yongjia is not as developed as Mizhou, Mingzhou and Quanzhou, it has already shown its shape. At the same time, under the circulation of Jiaozi salt currency, it has also promoted the development of commerce.
The river water was roaring at the bottom of the black-sailed boat and cracked into powder. Zhang Yue leaned on the railing to see the mountains on both sides of the shore. The mountains here are like locks, forcing the river to storm and storm among the rock walls. Sometimes he was thinking about a question, and one was very famous. The theory is called long-term theory.
It means that the geographical environment in which the growth has long-term inertia and influence on people's personality and civilization.
For example, in tropical areas, it has been difficult to nurture powerful civilizations from ancient times to the present.
Some parts of Fujian and Zhejiang have a common feature, which is that they are scarce and have developed commerce, so people are naturally more pragmatic, and everyone is not vain. The barren mountain fields cannot support the family of poets and scholars, and the hardships of asking for food from the sea naturally lead to reality. .
Zhang Yue was on the Oujiang River on a boat. When he thought of the introduction of Neo-Confucianism into Yongjia, he once said that he would go up the Oujiang River by boat and return with Luoshu.
"Look at me, please see, the front is the Shuangchao Pavilion." The boatman had a little bamboo pole, and the black-sailed boat skillfully walked around the reef.
The boat was walking along the wind, and Zhang Yue narrowed his eyes and saw the flying eaves like cranes on the cliffs of Linjiang, and three scholars in green clothes were bowing on the railings.
The boat was docked and the three of them said to Zhang Yue: "Meng Jian Gong summoned me, we are here to welcome you. Please move to Fenghe Tower downstream. We have already prepared a banquet for you to welcome you."
Zhang Yue said: "I dare not be a good friend, two senior brothers, before I could finish the exam, my teacher was guided by you. Today, regardless of the official rank, I will only talk about the friendship between the same school. It is both a reminiscence of the past and a request for advice. This is Tangao Sir."
The other party responded.
Zhang Yue "It just so happened that there were some wine and food on my boat. Let's take it to the pavilion to eat and chat. Then we walk around and take a look. I wonder what to do?"
The three of them laughed and said, "It is better to obey your orders than respect."
Zhang Yue smiled and immediately ordered Huang Haoyi to pick up some of the braised tofu, sauce duck, smoked fish and other dishes from the boat. The wine was a famous rice wine. When the amber old wine poured into the cup, Jiang The wind was wrapped in salty water vapor, which seemed to blow the scene of Zhang Yue and Erguan meeting again for twenty years.
Guan Shifu and Guan Shichang brothers, who entered the officialdom in the first place in Zhang Yue, even became prime minister, never looked for Zhang Yue once.
This is the true nature of scholars.
Zhang Yue met again after a long time ago, and everyone talked and talked, and as they talked, they came to Wang Anshi's previous reforms.
Mr. Guan first said: "Suddenly change the law of ancestors, but the people are unable to bear their lives."
Guan Shichang also said: "Businessmen are not good, prices are rising. In the past, Jing Gong built dikes and dredged rivers in Yin County. The "Creation Methods" he used are all validated. Why did the Qingmiao Law become a method of harming the people after entering the center?"
Zhang Yue couldn't help but think after hearing this.
Mr. Guan said again: "The way of today should be used by the four people, and to provide stones to benefit the people is not the way of the sage king."
Zhang Yue looked at Lin Shi and asked, "What do you think about Mr. Tangao?"
Zhang Yue carefully saw Lin Shi's worn cuffs and heard that Mr. Tangao personally supervised the dock construction, and his clothes were often dyed with tung oil and rust, which was completely different from the wide sleeves of the literati and doctors of Bianjing.
The other party replied: "I always think that those who do not understand things have no meaning, their words are incompatible; those who do not examine things have no meaning, their ways are not transformed; those who do not consider high or violate the reality are not impossible."
"If King Jing can be appointed to others for their ability and the governance method is detailed, the disadvantages may not be eliminated. Looking at the governance of Xining, King Jing certainly has great talents, but the disadvantages are 'using reason to suppress matters'."
Lin Shi's view was exactly the same as Zhang Yue. He couldn't help but nodded slowly when he heard it, and said to Bu Cai with a smile: "Mr. Tangao's argument is extremely high."
"Can you all hear about Lin Zhaoqing, a foreign merchant in Quanzhou?" Zhang Yue suddenly changed the subject and saw the three of them shook their heads and said, "This person encountered storms in Danluo Country, and escaped from death with the astrological chapter of "Pingjiangtu". What the court wants to open is not
The maritime ban is such a way of living through worldly knowledge."
Master Guan often sighed: "What a wonderful thing! Jian Gong wants to carry the holy learning with business skills!"
Zhang Yue said: "Maoqian's existence or not is the way of the saint."
The three of them spoke loudly, and they ate the wine and food on the pavilion. Lin Shi, who had always been silent, also felt that he was still unfulfilled.
Several people walked on a boat from then on.
Several merchant ships were running in parallel on the river.
Lin Shi said on the side: "Look, let's see, this is the convergence of the two tides. Mr. Woyun discussed the story with Mr. Guishan (Yang Shi) at the bow of the boat, which caused snow to burst into the tide, and just happened to be a distinction between justice and profit!
”
Zhang Yue stood up and said to the three people: "To promote both justice and profit is indeed the doctrine of the mean of the saints."
"But mean is definitely a result, but not an end. Otherwise, the use of the middle class will easily lead to the wrong path."
...
Bianjing was shrouded under the lead-gray sky. Zhang Dun stood on the front porch of the capital, looking at the eaves and ecstasy. Zhang Shangying rushed to Zhang Dun with a report in his hand and said, "What's the matter with your husband calling me?"
Zhang Dun twisted the jade belt around his waist and said to Zhang Shangying with a cold light in his eyes: "You are so upright, you actually have such a big trouble."
"I know that sooner or later, our new party foundation will be destroyed in the hands of this stubborn person."
Zhang Shangying said: "Tai Shengchang changed the Salt Banknote Law in his lifetime, and Chen Mu fought with him in the Political Affairs Hall, and the two of them were born out of this. Later, Cai Xiang refused to listen to the public and criticized the party for attacking the differences, and ended in such a situation, which was not surprising."
Zhang Dun said: "I am not worried about Cai Chizheng, what I am worried about is the existence of the new law."
Zhang Shangying said: "Since the reform of the Jing Gong, the party has been fighting for so many years. It is generally a struggle between gentlemen. It can be called harmony but different. How can we ever see five steps of blood splashing in the hall? Uncle Chen He was the Minister of the Shang Dynasty after all, but now he is
He died by jumping into a well.”
"Silence!" Zhang Dun suddenly turned around, his purple public uniform raised in the wind. His eyes swept across the three provinces who were hurriedly walking by with the document under the corridor, and he did not lower his head until the green robe disappeared behind the moon gate.
Voice said.
"Can you see Zizheng today's court meeting?"
Zhang Shangying nodded understandingly: "The sound of throwing the tablets even the guards outside the Chuigong Hall were alarmed. When I stayed in the hall today, the Secretariat Gong and the Right Prime Minister were very controversial in front of the imperial court, but Cai Que was very leisurely.
It seems like I was expected that the official would favor the sidelines.”
Zhang Dun nodded when he heard this, his eyes floated over the boy who had always been a general figure to argue. He is growing up like this today.
Zhang Dun cursed: "What is unfair. When he killed King Zhongzheng on Huanqing Road, he was so decisive that he learned the style of corrupt scholars and slandering? If he was not useful, he would not value it."
Zhang Shangying went to the front half of the way after hearing this: "Mr. Zhang means to join forces with Mr. Zhongshu?"
Seeing that Zhang Dun did not answer, Zhang Shangying's expression lit up. If Cai Que was defeated, Zhang Dun would be the right prime minister. As we all know, the left prime minister Wang Gui is a puppet, and only the right prime minister is the real power prime minister.
Zhang Shangying approached half a step and added: "Xiaguan and Zizheng have the same friendship as each other, maybe..."
"No hurry." Zhang Dun raised his hand to stop the topic, and his eyes turned to the lights that gradually lit up in the direction of the palace city, "Let's see how Uncle Lu Hui decides first."
Zhang Shangying said: "I'll go to explore the wind tonight."
...
In the Privy Council, candle tears piled up on the lampstand layer by layer, and the map on the screen swayed with the fire.
Mr. Lu angrily looked at the broken pieces of the tablets on his son-in-law's official robe that had not been removed, saying, "Nothing! Is it the priest who lost his etiquette in front of the emperor?"
Zhang Zhiran suddenly stood up, and the jade belt on his waist shaking the case: "Old Taishan, although Chen Mu is greedy for three hundred coins, he is an old minister of the court after all! Cai Que's frame-up and killing is clearly to shock the world!"
Zhang Zhi bowed and said, "The son-in-law is determined to do it. It is either Cai Chizheng who has stopped preaching, or I... the son-in-law would rather break his head than watch it on the wall."
Sit down! "Lu Gongzhu picked up the candle and cut it and lit the wick, "The broken jade stairs you mentioned can only backfire. Nowadays, officials are manipulating power, and they are most afraid of the officials and workers forming cliques. You have to contact me to impeach Cai Que.
Instead, he was jealous of him."
Speaking of this, Lu Gongzhu pushed open the window and said, "Did you see the lanterns far away?" He pointed to the bright yellow halo on the palace wall, "How long can the lantern last? It depends on the technique of the lantern. If you
I was in a hurry to pick it, so be careful to burn my hands."
"Son-in-law, son-in-law..." Zhang Zhi said anxiously.
Mr. Lu turned around and said, "Chen Mu is greedy, and the three hundred official matters are confirmed."
"As soon as this matter begins, the party struggles will continue in the court. Let it go first, and maintain the decent relationship between the king and the minister. Things in the world are nothing more than things that are slow, and people will be safe! Slow down, and the light boat has already Over thousands of mountains.”
Zhang Zhi heard what Lu Gong said, but he didn't know what he said. He wanted to use his father-in-law's power to join forces with officials in the court to overthrow Cai Que, but Lu Gong's cautiousness made Zhang Zhi helpless.
He raised his head but saw numerous palaces looming in the lights.
...
The dusk was like the residual ink in the inkstone, gradually dyeing the eaves of Bianjing City, and Zhang Zhi rode his horse back to the mansion.
After passing through the Sanchong Moon Gate, I suddenly heard the sound of porcelain breaking from the west chapel, accompanied by the woman's sharp scolding: "The pickled goods are also suitable for Brother's "The Analects of Confucius"?"
Zhang Zhi gently lifted the bamboo curtain and saw Mrs. Xu twisting the ears of a child with a horn, and the ground was covered with ink stains. Although the child was so painful that he still held half of the broken pages: "You don't look at them either." Depending on your identity, you actually want to read the Book of Sages.”
The child was only six or seven years old and heard it, "I just want to read a few more words."
The female envoy cursed, "Just just know a few more words? After reading these books, you will open your eyes, gain knowledge, and be proud of your ability."
"You will not be a servant like my father and I."
"The most important thing for a person is his duty. If he loses his duty, he will do nothing in his life."
After saying that, the female envoy wanted to collect the book, but the child was dragged to her and refused to let her go.
The newest ⊥Xiao⊥Speak⊥Send⊥Six⊥9⊥Book⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥Book⊥⊥⊥First⊥!
Zhang Zhi couldn't help but think of himself when he heard this. He said to Sui Ren: "What's going on? Go and see. It just so happens that there is still a lack of companionship. Let this child be a companionship with Brother Nian!"
Zhang Zhi returned to the mansion, and his wife, Mrs. Lu, was drinking tea.
A rabbit hair cup in Jianyao, and a crushed Miyunlong floating in the tea soup. When Mrs. Lu came to see Zhang Zhi, he was depressed and asked, "Why are you not happy with the official?"
Zhang Zhi told his wife the whole story.
When Mrs. Lu heard this, she laughed and said, "I don't know how many times Mrs. Xu has made such a fuss about her child. Mrs. Xu's trick is more realistic than the zaju in Washeli."
Zhang Zhi said: "If it is a reading material, it would be nice to be a companion for Brother Nian to read."
When Mrs. Lu heard this, she laughed, and the mutton fat jade bracelet hit the table and jingled and said, "Official, you are so kind. If you really want to study, you should have broken the ground long ago. Why do you have to throw a bowl and a cup every day?"
"It's just that while you return home, Mrs. Xu deliberately arranged this scene in front of you to let his child climb to a high point."
Zhang Zhi couldn't help but hold his forehead and said, "So that's how it is."
Zhang Zhi's scheming is still too shallow, and he is not even as thorough as his wife.
Lu said: "But since the official sent someone to ask, there was no reason to take it back. Go to Nian Ge'er's study to clean it."
Zhang Zhi sighed: "Yes, I didn't notice it for a moment and felt compassion."
"I remember that when I and my third uncle couldn't afford to study, I have passed the Jinshi and become an official. When I really opened my eyes, I couldn't really do a few things for the people and the world."
The couple was talking seriously.
Suddenly, Zhang Shangying came to visit.
When Zhang Zhi frowned when he heard the name Zhang Shangying, he had been a good friend with Zhang Shangying in the Imperial Academy.
Later, Zhang Shangying joined the new party camp, and the two gradually got farther and farther away, but they did not completely cut off their relationship.
Zhang Shangying's soap boots were broken and the moonlight came to the reception place. He picked up the west head Huanghuali ring chair and sat down calmly.
Zhang Shangying smiled and said, "Does Mr. Zhang remember this night? We simmered Codonopsis pilosula in the middle of the night when we were in the Imperial College."
When the past came to my heart, Zhang Zhi felt deeply moved and immediately said, "He came to Tianjue Night, not to come to reminisce about the past."
Zhang Shangying said a little unhappy: "Mr. Zhang, I'm here to help you, why bother to speak like this?"
"Help me? Aren't you doing things under your subordinates?"
Zhang Shangying asked: "What does Mr. Zhang think of his subordinates treating you back then?"
Zhang Zhi is also a smart person. He suddenly understood Zhang Shangying’s purpose when he heard this. Of course, Zhang Zhi remembered that he was fond of studying when he was a child, so Zhang Dun liked to teach himself to study in the Tangbian in front of the school gate of Pucheng County.
He is vivid in his mind.
Zhang Zhi said: "It took a long time to go, but I don't remember it. The grudge with Cai Xiang is my business and him. I don't want to work for others."
Zhang Shangying was stunned. Before he could speak, he was evaded by Zhang Zhi early.
Zhang Shangying was furious and said, "I'm kind enough to make peace with you and your second uncle, but you are so unkind. Let's see how you can beat Cai Que."
Zhang Shangying immediately stopped drinking tea and stood up with a smile.
Zhang Zhiyi also stood up to tidy up his robe and said lightly: "It's deeper and heavier, so Zhang won't give it."
The wind lights in the corridor flickered and turned off, reflecting Zhang Shangying's face ashen. These words made him strode away.
At this time, Lu Shi stepped out from behind the screen: "It seems that Zhang Zihou intends to join forces with you to deal with Cai Xiang, why don't you agree? Didn't you say that he treats you well when he was a child?"
Zhang Zhi said: "We have cut off contacts long ago, how can we ask him again?"
"I don't want to owe him anything. It's my own business to deal with Ji Zheng."
After saying that, Zhang turned around and left.
Looking at Zhang Zhi's back, Lu shook his head and said, "Even so, you shouldn't offend him."
...
Although Cai Que was ordered by the government to reflect on the government, the government had no position as a minister after all, so if there was anything in the capital and the Secretariat, he would still report it, and he would need to write the official documents.
Cai Que is still the most unavailable Cai Que, the right servant of the Shangshu and the Secretariat.
"The right master, Yuancheng Daming, the counties in Chanyuan have become marshals!" The people in Tongshi's house held a letter and knelt down. Cai Que only knocked on the desk with a chessboard three times, and bowed and retreated into the bamboo shadow.
deep.
Cai Que continued to play chess with his friend Huang Haoqian.
As Huang Haoyi's elder brother, Huang Haoqian was originally a member of the Party, but the other party was Cai Que's childhood friend.
So even though Cai Que replaced Zhang Yue as prime minister, Huang Haoqian was still sitting firmly in the court.
Huang Haoqian pointed the black piece in the star position, and the celadon chess jar reflected the sparse bamboo shadows outside the window. Cai Que's purple official robe hem was hanging on the edge of the sandalwood couch.
"I remember that year you entered the Imperial College and only brought three stagnant of money." Huang Haoqian suddenly spoke, and the chess piece knocked on the chessboard and made a crisp sound. "Lingtang melted the silver bracelet of the dowry to make up enough for you from Chenzhou to Bianjing.
money for the journey."
The jade chess piece between Cai Que's fingers suddenly cooled down. He suddenly saw his mother, Ming, standing in front of the mottled earth wall, with the faded blue cloth skirt wet with morning dew, but stuffed the last half-snack of money into his bag.
When Cai Que got out of his sleeve, the belt of golden jeans that was exposed inadvertently said, "Yes, under the eaves of the Taixue vegetarian house twenty years ago, I was still squeezed into a thin quilt to keep warm. When I was poor, I would share my food with you.
A cold cooked cake.”
Huang Haoqian smiled and said, "Later, on the day you passed the Jinshi period, we asked for the cheapest lamb wine in Fanlou, but we were so drunk that we wrote the "Text and the Book of Thanks" into "Book of Returning Home". Do you still remember?"
Cai Que smiled and had tears in his eyes.
Huang Haoqian picked up the teacup and sipped it: "The Ministry of Revenue sent another letter from the flood in Hebei, saying that it was to call on the silk in the warehouse. Why did you push it?"
"Since the officials allow you to manage the government, why bother to be an isolated minister? Look at Qi and Xing Shu, which one is useful?"
Cai Que said: "In the past, the doctor of the Imperial Academy said, 'The Southern people should not be prime ministers'. Now I am a great grace to lead the right prime minister with the Fujian people. What else can I ask for?"
The chess piece fell on the three and three positions.
"Look at the black and white battle of this chessboard, it depends on the game Zhenlong in the forbidden area."
Huang Haoqian said anxiously: "Is it the matter between Uncle Chen?"
Cai Que continued: "Look at the black and white victory of this chess game, it doesn't matter anymore. You and I are just chess pieces."
Huang Haoqian felt a sense of sadness from the bottom of his heart. Is it destined to be a pawn from a poor family?
Cai Que said slowly: "If the northwest wins, all slander can be eliminated; if you lose... I will be more guilty!"
Huang Haoqian said in surprise: "Your husband, do you still have to give it a try in the northwest?"
Chapter completed!
