Zhang Yue looked at the hall with mixed feelings, and he saw the figure holding a candle in the cold night in the deep palace again.

The color blocks painted on the picture also have the imperial red pen that "restores the old borders of the Han and Tang Dynasties".

Now I am the only one who is independent of the wind and snow.

Zhang Yue sighed when he thought of this, and Feixue threw himself into his eyes.

...

The north wind blew the broken snow on the Zhuqi Palace Gate. All officials stood up with Lu Gong, and the crisp sound of the soles of the boots crushing the thin ice was particularly clear in the silence.

Yan Shouqin took a step forward holding the second edict, and his voice was like gold and jade fighting each other: "There is an order-"

The clothes and robes were rolled up under Xuande's sect immediately, and hundreds of officials bowed back to worship again.

“Under the Door:

I received the order of the master, and I only bear the entrustedness of the previous emperor, and worked hard day and night, but I was afraid of victory. The Duke of Wei, Zhang Yue, had a profound knowledge of his talents, and was loyal and loyal, and was responsible for his economic talent. In the past, he was a counselor of the cardinal officer and repeatedly served as a member of the emperor. When he was appointed as a guest, he was able to win the title of the people of Yi Dai and defeated Yi Pian.

Now he was appointed as the Minister of the Secretariat and the Secretary of the Shang Dynasty. He was appointed as the Minister of the Capital and the provincial government, and he recommended the edicts and orders of each department. He was still granted the title of loyalty to assist in the planning and management of meritorious officials, and his honors were as usual. His military and national affairs were all subject to the rulings. He was given the sixth rank and above and agreed to the implementation with the Privy Council."

The sound of the edict penetrated the wind and snow. When I read "Specially appointed as the Minister of the Secretariat and the Minister of the Shangshu Zuo Pushe", several officials could no longer kneel down.

"In the play, how good the power is, we will achieve the goal of consolidation. You can spread the aspirations of the late emperor and build the cause of revival, so that the court will not have any political power and will have a sound of praise.

The announcements from both China and abroad, and all the people heard about it.”

The ministers seemed to have conflicts when they heard the two imperial edicts before and after, but in fact they were not.

This is an orderly system in the front and back. The first imperial edict, Empress Dowager Gao, handed over the power to Empress Dowager Xiang, and the second empress Dowager Xiang moved the power to Zhang Yue.

The court’s trust and respect for Zhang Yue can be seen.

This time, Xuanma, who was worshipped by the officials in front of Xuande Gate, means that after a year of disturbances, the court returned to the regular affairs and returned to the Yuanfeng government again.

Mr. Lu wrote to him and said, "I will receive the order."

After bowing to Mr. Lu again, all the officials followed.

But hundreds of officials were lying on the ground like a tide, with snow covered with sleeves of robes.

After hearing the order, Liu Zhi and others had no choice but to bow down and say to the left and right: "Where is the Empress Dowager?"

"When Mr. Lu didn't face the saint, he accepted the order, so why didn't he care?"

"I want to go with you!"

Liu Zhi hated Lu Gongzhu for not opposing him, so he accepted the order, but no one paid attention to his words.

...

As a thin but tall figure stepped out from the palace gate, everyone knew that the other party was Zhang Yue who set the world out with the two palace empress dowagers in Funing Palace.

Zhang Yue, wearing a purple robe and jade belt, looked like a torch, and swept over the dark officials in front of him. At this moment, he was already the attendant of the dynasty who was respectful to all the officials and the head of civil officials!

Mr. Lu led all the officials to salute and said, "Meet the Minister!"

Hundreds of officials led by Lu Gongzhu met in unison, and the sound shook the sky.

When Zhang Yuefang wanted to speak, he heard the officials say.

"An urgent report from Fuyan Road!"

"The Lord of the Dangxiang State Li Bingchang personally led a large army to invade our Mizhizhai!"

All officials suddenly changed color.

In the past two years, under the major policy of the court to "stood troops to enrich the people", Zhang Yue's original situation of expanding borders on Xihe Road was repeatedly explained as "impatient and enterprising, confused and misleading the late emperor" or "not the original intention of the late emperor". He put forward such a banner and misinterpreted the "first to ward off border officials, so as not to plunder and let both China and the barbarians be safe."

Li Bingchang, the ruler of Dangxiang, also saw the Song Dynasty's intention to carry out strategic contraction. While sending envoys to repeatedly request the territory to be restored, he actively led his army to attack, intending to seize the territory of the Song Dynasty by "taking first and then reporting".

Faced with the Khitan asking for annual tribute, Li Bingchang sent envoys to pay tribute on the surface, and the court felt it was acceptable, and prohibited the border general from taking the initiative and only allowed passive defense.

Listening to the report, the ministers' hearts were condensed.

But seeing the official report to Mr. Lu, Mr. Lu said to the other party: "Now the court is the minister of the court and the country is Dingguo!"

The other party was stunned and said he was not, and reported to Zhang Yue again: "There is an urgent report from Fuyan Road!"

"Dangxiang's king Li Bingchang personally led a large army to attack Mizhizhai!"

Zhang Yue immediately said: "Select Xu Xi, the governor of Fuyan Road, to lead his army to defend against the enemy and strive to protect Mizhizhai!"

As soon as this statement was said, it seemed as if the ice and snow melted. After the Battle of Yongle City, the court had been silent on Dangxiang for nearly two years.

Now the war is rising again.

With the order of Duke Wei, the border troops on Fuyan Road will surely fight back against the invading enemy.

All officials who supported the new law were excited when they heard this, sweeping away the haze that had been accumulated in their eyebrows for a long time.

The other officials can also clearly feel that from today on the wind, the direction of the court has changed!

From then on, the court no longer timidly towards Dangxiang and Khitan, and tolerate and retreat.

No need to endure humiliation anymore. My hot and scorching red flag of the Song Dynasty will be spread throughout the world!

"Abide by the orders of Shizhong!"

The official responded with tears in his eyes and ran away quickly.

Zhang Yue looked at this scene and remembered that he was nervous and walking on thin ice when he first worshipped the minister. Now that he is worshiping the minister again, he doesn't have to start over. Just saying that the hundreds of officials in front of him have received their favors or promotions.

Five years ago, the prime minister was in power for eight years, and his disciples and old officials were already everywhere in the court!

Without Empress Dowager Gao’s elbow control, we can let go now.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yue walked forward with his arms in his arms, and Lu Gong hesitated for a moment, and finally fell behind half a step. This subtle action was like a command.

All officials separated from each other and split a road to offer Zhang Yue out of the palace.

Then Li Qingchen, Zhang Qi and other prime ministers followed Lu Gong, and the rest of the officials lined up to follow each other. The officials on both sides separated like a tide, and then merged into the team like a river returning to the sea.

But seeing the team behind Zhang Yue go further and further, and he goes straight out of Xuande Gate, hundreds of officials rolling up their sleeves, like a long dragon, leaving the palace in a mighty manner.

The team grows longer and longer, like a long dragon entering the clouds, as if it is about to break through the sky.

The halberds in front of the hall inside and outside the city gate stood up solemnly and beat their armor to salute.

The sound of iron armor fighting is like a war drum, and the cold light of the spear tip is connected into one.

Ban Zhi thought to himself that Mr. Zhang would take them to pacify the Dangxiang and seize the Youyan sooner or later.

Seeing this, the belated officials waited by the door one after another. After Zhang crossed, they joined the team.

The team is even bigger.

Liu Anshi walked silently in the team and said to Liu Zhi and Liang Tao on the side: "The general trend is on the side of Mr. Wei. If we don't know it, it will sooner or later fall behind everyone."

Liu Zhi and Liang Tao understood that their friend, both of Sima Guang's iron-kicks, had already made decisions in line with the times.

They could not object, they knew that there were many people who thought like Liu Anshi, who had been recalled by Sima Guang.

Wang Yansou asked, "You really believe that Duke Wei can lead you and others, destroy Dangxiang, and collect Youyan!"

"This is something that Taizu and Taizong did not do."

Looking at the snow falling on the city tower, Liu Anshi said: "I may not believe it in the past, but I believe it today."

Liu Zhi said indignantly: "Zhang San used Cai Qu and Zhang Dun's remnants to incite chaos and force the Empress Dowager to abdicate."

"What is there to praise for such a traitor who destroys Dangxiang and captures Youyan?"

"It must be scolded in history!"

Liu Anshi smiled when he heard this.

...

After all the officials left Xuande Gate, Zhang Yue stopped and looked back at the officials under the Xuande Gate Tower.

Zhang Yue said to all officials: "Tomorrow, the capital will discuss matters, and the common affairs will be held together, and the country will discuss the same thing!"

"Please, please!"

When the crowd dispersed, Duke Lu was wearing a black sable fur and was covered with broken snow. The veteran of the three dynasties bowed and said, "The servant finally got Long Yue Yunjin, and Lu asked his bones to return home."

Zhang Yue grabbed Lu Gongzhu's hand and said, "Uncle Hui, what's this?"

"I just returned to the temple, and you left me now."

Lu Gongzhu said sadly: "Mr. Lu advocates that the emperor is in conflict with the Shizhong, so it is difficult to sit down and discuss the country together."

Zhang Yue said: "What is the country? The Book of Documents says, "I plan to help the ministers and the common people," so how can I break the blame for the only man?"

"Without the mouths of the people and discussing them in the temple, there is no reason why one person is arbitrary."

The snow grains hit the hands of the two holding each other.

Lu Gongzhu shook his head and said, "Jun and I are not people who are in love with power."

"Handling in the court can tell a few truths and a few loyal words to the people of the world."

Zhang Yue knew that Lu Gongzhu did not care about bypassing the other party and making an imperial edict without authorization, and could also say no to the minister Xuanma before.
