Chapter 1,241 Comet(2/2)
Zhang Yue said: "Why don't I know?"
Zhang Yue looked around at the teahouse with three floors, a middle one and a lower one. In the center was a large patio, with a singing girl and storyteller in the patio.
As for the teahouse on the third floor, it was already half full, with countless officials and gentry coming in and out, creating a lively and prosperous scene.
Zhang Yue tapped the tea set on the table and said: "Yuan Chang's pot of Shuangjing tea and these refreshments are actually sold in the tea shop for a drop of money, but the officials and gentry still flock to them."
"But once the Liao Kingdom invades, these days of pampering and pampering will be gone. What do you think?"
"The world has been at peace for a long time, people's minds are at peace, and dangers have arisen from it."
Cai Jingdao: "Prime Minister, this is a moral act."
Zhang Yue said: "Of course, there is such a hedonistic trend in Bianjing. When I went to Liangzhou to break the party items, the public sentiment was boiling, and everyone said that they should be taken."
"This time when I heard that the Liao Kingdom wanted to take Hebei, you can see how these people refused. Generally speaking, these are still the words of peaceful days."
"You say this is just an offering of auspiciousness, but it may not be useful."
To be honest, Zhang Yue also liked Bianjing very much, but this led to the prevalence of hedonism among officials. It would definitely be unacceptable for them to give up their good life and work hard.
The Song Dynasty was also immersed in the days of spending money to buy peace, and in the end it truly "was born in sorrow and died in happiness".
Zhang Yue said to Cai Jing: "Whatever should be done? I am responsible for all the consequences. But I don't bother to do such things!"
Cai Jing heard this and said, "Yes, Prime Minister."
…
On the day before the palace examination.
A comet suddenly appeared in the sky, as big as a bucket, dragging its long tail across the night sky.
The emperor was shocked when he learned about it. He immediately put on his clothes and looked at this scene in the night sky.
The comet is an ominous thing. When encountering such a sign, everyone is panicked for a while.
At this time, during Zhang Yue's reign, Yan Guan Shangshu Yan spent a lot of money to attack Dangxiang. Although the achievements were successful, the losses outweighed the gains.
At the same time, Zhang Yue ignored the peace of the people of Song and Liao, and for his own selfish desires, he started provocations and was rude to the Lord of Liao, causing the Liao Kingdom to attack the Song army.
Zhang Yue also intervened in the affairs of the Third Auxiliary Army, installed party members and cronies, and supported private individuals in order to control the troops and horses in this area, with evil intentions.
