Chapter 1,248 I dare not be the first for the world(2/2)

Zhang Yue came out of Dingli Temple and rode a thin horse straight to the palace.

I stayed in Dingli Temple for more than fifty days without leaving home.

This morning, it was like a dragon returning to the sea.

Bianjing still exudes a different kind of vitality.

The morning breeze was blowing gently, and when he passed by the Bianhe River Pier, he saw many porter coolies sitting on chairs and having morning wine on the pier.

Many people are surprised that someone drinks alcohol in the morning.

But Zhang Yue has experienced life in the city and knows very well that in such days, how many days in a person's life can he live as he wants?

For these moving coolies, it is only less than an hour after unloading.

After working so hard all night, they would be served such a large bowl of wine, followed by hard dishes such as haggis, and eat and drink slowly. This was their only enjoyment of the day, and it was also the most relaxed and comfortable time for them.

This is what they look forward to every day.

This is just like in the previous life, after getting off work tiredly, I would have a bottle of beer and some braised food. I was extremely happy at that time. Without this kind of enjoyment, there would be no fun in this class at all.

Seeing this, Zhang Yue said to Song Yongchen: "Wait for me, don't bother me!"

Although the emperor called Zhang Yue into the palace, he was not in a hurry.

What does it mean to say, "Don't wait until you are summoned by your king's command"? Let me get out of the way.

After saying this, Zhang Yue got off his horse and went to the stall to buy wine, mutton, mutton heart, and mutton soup. Then he sat among the coolies and started eating and drinking.

After being a vegetarian for nearly two months, I can finally eat meat today.

This bowl of mutton is stewed thoroughly and then poured with hot mutton fat. It is so delicious that even your tongue will swallow it.

The boiled lamb heart is also chewy and even more delicious with some sauce.

Zhang Yue couldn't help but praise a few words, and the store owner smiled and didn't reply.

As Zhang Yue ate, he felt the long-lost smoke and smoke coming back to him.

Song Yongchen, Li Kui and the palace attendants all stood at a distance, watching Zhang Yue feasting so happily. Because Zhang Yue had given orders, they did not dare to disturb him in any way, let alone urge him.

Song Yongchen was afraid when he saw Zhang Yue drinking from a bowl. How would Zhang Yue face the emperor when he was drunk?

Zhang Yue ate for nearly half an hour before he was satisfied and let out a long breath.

Zhang Yue came back to Song Yongchen and others, slightly drunk, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, everyone, the flowers are half-opened, and being drunk is the best state of life! It will not hinder the monarch and his ministers from playing against each other."

"This time I enter the world again."



Zhang Yue put on his robes and went straight into the palace, regaining his former demeanor of a purple-robed minister.

Song Yongchen watched from the side and couldn't help but wonder, what is Prime Minister Zhang like? Is he so immortal and unconventional after practicing in Dingli Temple? Or is he drunk after satisfying his appetite in the market?

The state of an idle man.

Or now.

Song Yongchen saw that Zhang Yue's eyes were half open and half closed, with such charm and determination, that he knew that he was still the prime minister who judged mountains and rivers.

After entering the palace, the officials had obviously been waiting for a long time. After meeting Zhang Yue, they were about to scold Song Yongchen who was standing beside him.

Zhang Yue said: "I have been in the temple for dozens of days without eating meat. After leaving the palace, I ate mutton and mutton soup. It's too late and I don't do other people's business."

After hearing this, the official was angry and funny and said: "Is your Majesty born into the world, or into the world? Or is it both born into the world and into the world?"

Zhang Yue said with a smile: "I don't have any certainty. All you have to do is follow your heart and don't pay attention to it."

The official said angrily: "Then you put national affairs aside and hide in the temple, just to follow your heart and not pay attention?"

Zhang Yue said: "Your Majesty, I dare not put myself first in the world!"

The officials were stunned.

Zhang Yue said: "There is a saying in the Tao Te Ching. The first is compassion, the second is frugality, and the third is not daring to be the first in the world. Compassion leads to courage; frugality leads to broadness; not daring to be the first in the world, so one can become a leader."

The reason is very clear.

The most taboo thing when doing anything is to take shortcuts and pass by one line.

Don't think it's hypocritical to say three words and three words. You have to release the risks involved.

The same is true for stock prices. There is no reason for a line to go up. They all fluctuate back and forth, with the bottom slowly rising. After a sharp pull, there is often a sharp drop.

Therefore, kind people are often brave, and those who know how to be thrifty have more wealth, and those who dare not be the first in the world can often survive the longest.

The way of heaven is like a bow, and politics is even more so.

Actions in the opposite direction can often achieve the goal faster.
