Why did Han Zongyan come forward? Because Wu Yu's eldest daughter was married to Han Zongyan, the son of Han Yi's eldest son Han Gang, and Han Zongshi's father, Han Jiang, was Han Yi's third son, so he was also related by marriage to the Wu family.

Historically, Wang Anshi recommended Wu Chong as the privy envoy to Song Shenzong. Song Shenzong didn't want to use it and said to Wang Anshi, Wu Chong is your in-law. Han Jiang on the side stepped forward and said, Wu Chong is also the in-law of the minister.

Zhang Yue greeted everyone one by one, and when Lu Jia asked at the end, Zhang Yue bowed to him.

This man had a lovely smile. Zhang Yue looked at him and secretly wanted to laugh. Like Lu Xiji, he was the grandson of Lu Yijian.

During the Qingli New Deal, Lu Yijian and Fan Zhongyan fought fiercely. When Lu Yijian's sons came to power, they also fought fiercely with Wang Anshi during the Xifeng Reform.

But what about Lu Jia?

As a member of the Lu family, he should side with the conservatives, but he supported the reform.

Lu Gongbi and Lu Gongzhu decided to impeach Wang Anshi in a memorial, and the matter was made public within the Lu family. However, Lu Jiawen secretly stole the memorials prepared by Lu Gongbi and Lu Gongzhu to impeach Wang Anshi and secretly gave them to Wang Anshi.

Wang Anshi knew the contents of the impeachment in advance, so he escaped disaster. After the incident spread, Lu Jiawen was regarded as a "family traitor" by the Lu family, and was removed from the genealogy, and was no longer included in the Lu family's family tree.

Zhang Yue thought he wanted to sit down and chat with them, since he came to Bianjing just to mingle with others.

Unexpectedly, Master Han said to Zhang Yue: "My father wants to meet the Number One Scholar!"

Zhang Yue was stunned when he heard that Han Jiang actually wanted to see him.

Han Jiang once served as Yushi Zhongcheng, but was dismissed because he impeached Fu Bi. Now he is out of town and just returned to Beijing to resume his duties.

Although he was demoted, he was still the official Zuo Jianyi, and he was a high-ranking official who had served as Yushi Zhongcheng. At the same time, Zhang Yue also knew that Han Jiang was a resolute reformist.

Han Jiang's political views also influenced his younger brother Han Wei.

Han Wei was a good friend of Wang Anshi. He, Sima Guang, Wang Anshi, and Lu Gongzhu were known as the Four Friends of Jiayou. Han Wei later served as Song Shenzong's teacher when he lived in his dormitory. When Song Shenzong agreed with Han Wei's novel ideas, he Han Wei always said that this is nothing. This is the opinion of my good friend Wang Anshi.

Han Jiang and Han Wei both recommended Wang Anshi in front of Song Shenzong. Without them, Wang Anshi would not have been prime minister. However, they later disagreed with Wang Anshi and were kicked out of the court.

Grandmaster Han said to Zhang Yue: "My father will leave Beijing the day after tomorrow, but he wants to see the style of the current number one scholar, so I asked Zhou Han, Bohe, and you to have a family dinner in the evening."

Zhang Yue was stunned.

Han Jiang paid homage to the Prime Minister four times during the Shenzong Dynasty, but Wang Anshi was still dragged into Zhongshu by him. The other party was also an in-law of the Wu family. Now, was he included in the other party's investigation?

It is indeed a method of employing people in politics.

Choose capable people from acquaintances, choose acquaintances from capable people.

All in all, one needs both familiarity and ability, both of which are indispensable. At the same time, the most important thing is political opinions, which all support reform.

Zhang Yue said: "It is a great honor for Zhang to be granted an audience by Mr. Han."

So Master Han took Zhang Yue to a small pavilion and saw an old man in his fifties looking at the scenery of the manor from the window.
