Zhang Yue said: "The way of heaven is like a bow. If you bend this bamboo with force, the rebound force will be greater. If you use too much force, it will break."

"Just like Ling Yue's Xining New Method, if you use too much force, even if the bamboo won't break, one day the bamboo will bounce back. What about that time?"

Cai Bian said resolutely and confidently: "As long as your Majesty is in your prime, no one can reverse this trend."

Zhang Yue said: "You are wrong. The first thing to do as an official is to know how to 'recognize the situation'. When the general trend is the same as the people's will, not even the emperor can change it. You must obey the general trend."

Cai Bian's face changed slightly when he heard this.

Zhang Yue flicked the bamboo so hard that his hands hurt, and then said: "In fact, it is not difficult to cut down the summer. As long as you persevere, you can achieve full success in five to ten years."

"There are only two things I'm afraid of. Either haste, waste time, or give up halfway. If you travel a hundred miles, you will only be half-way!"

"We also need to continue to implement the new law, not as hard as possible."

Wang Anshi and Cai Bian both believed in their hearts that the emperor would not waver and would continue to implement the new law.

But politics is not that simple.

When Cai Bian hesitated, he saw Zhang Yue put the bamboo in his hand and said with a smile: "Don't think about this for now. After the battle of Lanzhou is decided, you and I can talk about this topic again!"

Cai Bian composed himself and said, "Bian thanked the Prime Minister for his advice."
