Chapter 234 Zhang Bin returns to court
Chapter 233: Zhang Bin returns to court
After Jiang Wan and Cui Hao walked out of Qianyang Palace, the establishment of the Six Paths and Zhang Bin's imminent return to the court caused an uproar in the entire Wancheng in an instant. The position quickly became the focus of competition among the major factions.

On the eighth day of the first month of the 17th year of Qianyuan, Zhang Bin was packing his luggage in the prefect's mansion in Shangyong, Xicheng. Just yesterday, Zhang Bin received the order to call him back to the court and asked him to recommend the new prefect of Shangyong.

"Brother-in-law, will it be troublesome to return to court this time?" Yu Yunwen, Zhang Bin's wife and uncle, said to Zhang Bin from the side.

Zhang Bin smiled and said: "There is trouble. I have been away from Wancheng for so many years. Some forces in the court in the past have already been divided up by other factions. Even if there are still people who support me in the court , I'm afraid it's just a marginal figure, but it doesn't matter, as long as the king still trusts me, everything can be done again."

In the past few years since he came to Shangyong, Zhang Bin's only edges and corners have been smoothed out, and his personality has become more stable. Since his debut, everything has gone smoothly for Zhang Bin. He first became a counselor under Deng Sheng's command, and then served as a servant Zhang Bin became more and more arrogant. The appearance of the Shangyong case brought a heavy burden to Zhang Bin's official career. The blow also made Zhang Bin understand that faction or not is not important, as long as Deng Sheng still trusts himself, then everything lost in the past will come back.

"Brother-in-law's open-mindedness, my younger brother really can't match it." Seeing Zhang Bin's open-mindedness at this time, Yu Yunwen sighed very much.Back then, when he came to Shangyong with Zhang Bin and served as the magistrate of Xiling County, Zhang Bin once felt sorry for himself, but he didn't expect to think so openly now.

Zhang Bin shook his head with a smile, and said: "It's nothing. By the way, the king asked me to recommend the new Shangyong prefect. I decided to recommend you. I don't know what you think." Yu Yunwen is also a very capable person. To be a Shangyong prefect, in Zhang Bin's view, he is also inferior. With his ability, it is more than enough to be a minister, but now is not the time to take Yu Yunwen to Wancheng. First, Yu Yunwen's qualifications are not enough to enter the court to hold important positions. The second is that Zhang Bin himself has left Wancheng for many years. Zhang Bin is not very clear about the current situation in Wancheng. It is both an opportunity and a challenge. If you are not careful, you may suffer a crushing defeat. Keeping Yu Yunwen in Shangyong is also for yourself to have a way out in the future.

But Yu Yunwen wouldn't think that way, after all, he was just a small Xicheng county magistrate now, and being able to take over as the prefect of Shangyong was already very good, too many Yu Yunwen wouldn't think too much about it.

On the 17th day of the first month of the [-]th year of Qianyuan, Zhang Bin arrived in Wancheng and stood at the gate of Wancheng.

"Brother Zhang, don't come here without any harm!" Just as Zhang Bin was thinking about his life, a voice brought Zhang Bin back to his senses. Zhang Bin took a closer look, and it turned out that Cui Hao, Jiang Wan, and Su Hong came to pick him up together. The four giants of the political arena finally got together.

The relationship between Zhang Bin, Cui Hao, Su Hong, and Jiang Wan is somewhat complicated. Each of them is the leader of a faction, but their personal relationship is also very good. Their goals are all the same, that is, for Deng Guo Unify the world and work hard for generations to come, but everyone has different political opinions, or in other words, when the four giants keep pace with each other, the officials below will unconsciously move closer to the four of them. Big factions, although this is not what they think, but it is undeniable that some of their policies can be implemented with the support of the factions.

"So it's Brother Cui, Brother Jiang, and Brother Su. It's really been a long time." Seeing Cui Hao, Jiang Wan, and Su Hong, Zhang Bin also had a smile on his face. After all, they are friends and colleagues for many years. Although there were some conflicts in the past, it did not affect the friendship between each other.

Cui Hao walked up to Zhang Bin and said with a smile, "Congratulations, brother Zhang, who has washed away all his glory and returned to the court." To be honest, Zhang Bin's return had the greatest impact on Cui Hao, because Zhang Bin came back, He had to return Menxia Province to Zhang Bin. He had installed so many cronies in Menxia Province over the years. Once Zhang Bin became the master of Menxia Province, he would definitely clean it up, and the strength of the Cui family would also be affected.

Zhang Bin smiled and said: "Thank you for coming to pick up Zhang Bin. Zhang Bin is very grateful. After I meet the king, I will hold a banquet in Yanlai Tower to entertain you." It's contradictory, but the conflict hasn't arisen yet, so we still have to have the appearance that we should have.

After Zhang Bin exchanged pleasantries with several people at the gate of the city, he returned to his residence in Wancheng, tidied up a bit, and then entered the palace to see Deng Sheng.

In Qianyang Palace, Deng Sheng already knew that Zhang Bin had returned to Wancheng, so he waited in Qianyang Palace. The servant Gui Xiang walked in and said, "I have ordered Zhang Bin to see you."

"Xuan!"

"My minister, Zhang Bin, pays homage to the king, I am Wang Wannian!" Entering Qianyang Palace, Zhang Binhui knelt down and bowed.

Seeing Zhang Bin coming in, Deng Sheng also had a look of embarrassment. Before he knew it, he had known Zhang Bin for almost 20 years.

"Zhang Qing, please get up quickly, Zhang Qing will still be handsome after so many years." Deng Sheng walked forward and helped Zhang Bin up.

"I'm old, but I'm a great king, and my prestige is growing. In the past few years, I have heard about Wancheng in Shangyong. In these years, Deng Deng has produced a large number of talents. He took ten counties in a row, and laid the foundation for the world. I'm really happy for the king." Zhang Bin looked at Deng Sheng with emotion on his face. When she left Wancheng, Deng Guo had just defeated the Han State and eliminated the hidden dangers to the west, but it was still not a first-class power in the world. Even Han, which was crippled, was a bit stronger than Deng Guo. Unexpectedly, in just a few years, Deng Guo won ten counties in a row, and suddenly became the most powerful country in the world. Zhao Guo can overwhelm Deng Guo.

Deng Sheng had someone give Zhang Bin a seat, and then said: "In the past few years in Shangyong, Zhang Qing has cleaned up Shangyong's mess, and now Shangyong is stronger than the four counties in Jingnan. Thanks to Zhang Qing, by the way, the widow asked Zhang Qing to recommend the new Shangyong prefect, who does Zhang Qing prefer?"

Deng Sheng knew that Yu Yunwen's implanted identity was Zhang Bin's wife and brother, and he was also the magistrate of Xicheng County. Zhang Bin should recommend him, which is why Deng Sheng asked Zhang Bin to recommend him.

Zhang Bin didn't disappoint Deng Sheng either, he cupped his hands and said, "Go back to your majesty, I already have someone in mind, as the saying goes, you don't shy away from your relatives, the person you recommend is none other than your wife and younger brother. The current magistrate of Xicheng County, Yu Yunwen."

"Yu Yunwen? I have heard of this person, and the Ministry of Officials and Yushitai still think highly of him, but I have never seen him, so I don't know how capable he is?" Of course, Deng Sheng knew Yu Yunwen's ability, but this The cutscene still has to go.

Zhang Bin replied: "My lord, although Yunwen is the wife and brother of the minister, but when he was in Shangyong, the minister did not give him any convenience. On the contrary, he was very helpful to the minister in governing Shangyong. His ability It is not an exaggeration to serve as a minister."

Deng Sheng nodded in satisfaction, and said: "Okay, since Zhang Qing admires Yu Yunwen so much, the widow will appoint him as the new prefect of Shangyong and guard Shangyong for the court."

"On behalf of Yunwen, I have thanked the King!" Zhang Bin thanked.

Deng Sheng smiled, waved his hand and said: "There is no need to be too polite, this requires Yu Yunwen's real ability, otherwise it will be recommended by the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty. Without ability, the widow will never agree, by the way, Zhang Qing. Presumably you already know that the imperial court will set up a new Six Paths."

Zhang Bin nodded, he had learned about this from Cui Hao and others when he arrived in Wancheng, so he said: "I have heard about this matter."

Deng Sheng said: "Then I wonder if Zhang Qing has any suggestions for the candidates for the governor of the Six Paths?"

"Please forgive me, Your Majesty. I haven't been in Wancheng for a long time. I don't know much about the officials of various ministries. I really can't think of any suitable candidates." Regarding the position of the governor of the Six Paths, Zhang Bin never wanted to fight, and he couldn't fight. Win, after all, he has been away from Wancheng for many years. Most of the capable people who followed him in the past have changed the door walls, and the rest are people with mediocre abilities. What's more, the most important thing for Zhang Bin now is to get rid of the door as soon as possible. When he came back, he didn't think about anything else.

Deng Sheng also knew a thing or two about Zhang Bin's small thoughts, but he didn't care. Instead, he was very satisfied with Zhang Bin's attitude, he didn't fight or grab, and only did things.
