Zhang Yue raised his eyebrows after hearing Cai Bian's words and said with a smile: "Very good, this is King Yong's promotion of you. Does King Yong have anything to say to you?"

Cai Bian immediately said: "No, I saw him a few days ago and he didn't mention a word."

Zhang Yue said: "Prince Yong is very interested in making friends with ministers!"

Cai Bian said: "The student also gave the exact same words in this post to King Jing in another name a few days ago."

Zhang Yue smiled and said: "How smart!"

King Yong and King Jing were both younger brothers of the emperor. Although Cai Bian learned calligraphy from Cai Xiang and Su Shi, a single calligraphy was not worth a thousand guan, especially when the calligrapher bought it without revealing the news, which seemed strange.

However, Cai Bian was very clever and resolved this difficulty.

Zhang Yue was entrusted by the emperor, and he would definitely help the emperor's six sons to ascend to the throne. At this time, there was no room for anyone below him to be half-hearted.

Cai Bian is his confidant. If he interacts with King Yong, the emperor will doubt his motives.

Cai Bian's team has always been very stable.

Zhang Yue said to Cai Bian: "The sixth son of the emperor is already seven years old. In a few days, I plan to contact the court official Shangshu to transfer the sixth son of the emperor to the third division of Yitong in the Kaifu. Then I will invite a teacher to teach the sixth son of the emperor. When the time comes, I will let you teach the sixth son of the emperor."

.

Cai Bian heard this and said gratefully: "It's teacher."

Zhang Yue said: "Official affairs are not about the short-term, but about the long-term. Remember. From today on, you should not get involved in the party disputes in the court, even after I lose my position. Wait until the situation becomes clearer."

"yes."

As long as Cai Bian stays with the future emperor, he will be invincible no matter what the party struggle is. After all, Cai Bian's current qualifications are somewhat junior compared to Cai Jing and Zhang Zhi.

At the same time, this is also a retreat.

After Cai Bian retreated, Zhang Yue met several more confidants. By now he was exhausted.

Now Chen Guan enters.

Zhang Yue wiped his face with a cloth and said to Chen Guan: "Yingzhong, it's up to you to take charge of Liao affairs."

Chen Guan put down the washbasin and said to him: "Students must obey the teacher's arrangements."

Zhang Yue said to Chen Guan: "Do you still remember what I said to you before?"

Chen Guandao: "The teacher pointed out the students' puzzles, and the students have gained a deep understanding these days."

Zhang Yue smiled, and the methodology he summarized was actually not foresight.

There is a best-selling book that summarizes the three F rules. The first is Focus, setting a quantifiable focus (goal) that can be adhered to for a long time.

Feedback, establish an immediate and efficient feedback system.

Fix it, correct and improve bit by bit through the feedback system, and finally verify it repeatedly through a lot of practice, and improve day and night.

Zhang Yue has never been afraid of selling the scriptures to others, because most people can't understand it, and even if someone does, he can't do it himself. Instead, he can get feedback from teaching others and further improve his own methodology.

When I first started playing party items.

Zhang Yue told the officials that I would copy a thousand copies of my fortress tactics and post them in the streets and alleys of Dangxiang City. I am not afraid that the other party will find out and have countermeasures.

Without him, for Zhang Yue, local and temporary victory or defeat is no longer within his current realm.

For the Song Dynasty, the most important thing was to upgrade and iterate the system through attacks, rather than building a few forts and occupying a lot of land.

Even though Chen Guan had been under Zhang Yue's door for many years, he still had the impression that Zhang Yue could not enter through his master's wall.

Hearing that Zhang Yue wanted to leave the Liao affairs to him, he couldn't help but lack confidence.

Zhang Yue said to Chen Guan: "You have the highest understanding among the people I have seen. You should talk to the Liao envoy according to your own understanding. Remember to act with a normal heart. If anything happens, I will take care of it for you."

!”

Chen Guan heard this and said: "Yes, teacher."

But Chen Guan still said reluctantly: "Teacher, don't you have any words to express?"

Zhang Yue laughed and said: "I will tell you a Zen koan, and you can talk about it with the Liao envoy!"

…

Liao envoy Xiao Xi was very dissatisfied with Chen Guan's arrival. The first person to negotiate with them was Sun Gu, the privy envoy, then Chen Mu, a Hanlin scholar, and now Chen Guan, who had just joined the imperial court, became the deputy envoy.

The official positions of the negotiating envoys were getting lower and lower. Did the Song Dynasty become less and less interested in Liao affairs?

Chen Guan asked Xiao Xi: "Is your envoy proficient in Zen public cases?"

Xiao Xi said disdainfully: "What's wrong? From the Queen Mother on down, everyone in this dynasty worships and worships Buddha. Even the emperor will pay homage to any eminent monk who has attained enlightenment!"

Chen Guan smiled and said, "That's good. In this way, I won't worry about your envoy not being able to understand."

"There was a koan in Zen Buddhism!"

"What public case am I not interested in listening to?" Xiao Xi scolded, "I ask you if the Song Dynasty wants to start a war with the Liao Dynasty if it continues to delay like this!"

"If the war breaks out and Hebei becomes a scorched earth, will you, a small minister, be responsible for this, or which minister in the court will be responsible for this! You can understand the consequences!"

All the officials from the Song Dynasty looked ugly. Chen Guan smiled and said, "Your Majesty, please calm down and listen to me finish this public case."

"When Huaihai lectures, there is always an old man who comes to listen. One day after class, all the students have left, but he won't leave. Baizhang Huaihai asked, who are you?"

"The old man said, I am not a human being. I used to be the abbot of this mountain, because a scholar asked, can a person who is a great practitioner still fall into the cause and effect? ​​I replied, I do not fall into the cause and effect. Therefore, I fell into the body of a wild fox. Please speak for me, monk.

Transference."

"After listening to Baizhang Huaihai Dao, would you like to ask again?"

"The old man then asked: Do people who practice great cultivation still fall into the trap of cause and effect? ​​Zen Master Huaihai replied, there is no ignorance of cause and effect!"

"The old man suddenly realized and said, I have escaped from the wild fox body."

Xiao Xi said angrily: "This koan is not 'Wild Fox Zen'. Anyone who doesn't understand Buddhism will know a little bit about it. It is really superficial!"

Chen Guan laughed when he heard this, and then said: "Your Majesty only knows one thing, but not the other."

"In fact, according to my understanding, not falling into causation and not being ignorant of causation are just one sentence, 'not falling into causation means doing nothing and not causing trouble; not being ignorant about causation means not being afraid of trouble when encountering it'."

Xiao Xi scolded: "How can there be such an explanation? This is what Li Zong said, and it is the real Yehu Zen!"

Chen Guan said: "Yes, this is not entirely correct, but it is true. But it is not the same between Song and Liao."

"Since the Chanyuan Alliance, we, the Song Dynasty, have strictly adhered to the righteousness of our alliance. We have never delayed paying tribute to Xiongzhou every year, and we have never failed to fulfill the righteousness of the alliance. There is no trouble!"

"However, Ru Liao Kingdom has repeatedly provoked troubles. Not to mention the increase of 200,000 years of tribute from Qingli, Xining has also forcibly demarcated our territory, provoked troubles again and again, and repeatedly threatened us with troops to suppress the border.

, you really think that the Song Dynasty is afraid of not being able to win the battle!"

Xiao Xi sneered when he heard this: "You are what you said when you have nothing to do but don't cause trouble, and you are not afraid of trouble when things happen?"

"Why do you Chinese dare to fight with me, the Khitan? Have you forgotten what happened at Gaoliang River and Qigou Pass? Have you forgotten the alliance under the city?"

After Xiao Xi finished speaking, the envoys from Liao who were accompanying him burst into laughter.

Before his laughter ended, he saw Chen Guan take out a letter from his sleeve and smash it on the table.

"shut up!"

An angry scolding made Xiao Xi and others' smiles freeze on their faces.

"From today onwards, Er Khitan is no longer worthy of speaking to me, the Song Dynasty, in such a tone!"
