Chapter 165 Guest House
I have to say that the guy named Wuqiu Shou is still a little bit arrogant. Even if he heard that Zhang Ran had received so much reward from the emperor, he was just a little envious and became jealous for this. Instead, he was still humble and polite and full of gentleman style.
Seeing this, Zhang Ran couldn't help but feel a little affection for him, and unconsciously expressed his respect in his words...
......
After the two chatted for a while, Zhang Ran turned to Dong Zhongshu about some things in the court and asked him: "Mr. Dong, I just heard from you that the Chief of the Banpu belongs to the Shaofu. I wonder who the Shaofu Qing is now? What is his reputation?"
Dong Zhongshu thought for a moment and pondered: "As far as I know, I am currently the Minister of Shaofu, Zhao Yu, a native of Fufeng. When Tiaohou (Zhou Yafu) was appointed as prime minister in his early years, Zhao Yu was the chief official of the Prime Minister's Office. Later, he succeeded to the throne. Zhao Yu was promoted to the Censor and became the Tingwei. Last year, he was promoted to the Shaofu Minister.
He was called honest and arrogant, and he refused to ask for help. He had no foodies. He was isolated and determined. He once shared the law with Zhang Tang, a doctor of Taizhong, and ruled the prison seriously. Therefore, the virtuous and upright court complained about him... "
"Oh!" Hearing Dong Zhongshu say this, Zhang Ran immediately understood that Zhao Yu was the Tingwei before Zhang Tang, and his character and manners were basically the same as Zhang Tang. He was a disciple of the Legalist who was honest and dedicated to the public and acted harshly, and that was the "ruthless official" mentioned by Sima Qian!
Moreover, Zhao Yu is even more cruel than Zhang Tang. He does not raise foodies, does not make friends with court officials, whether it is the Three Dukes and Nine Ministers or relatives, he will not sell his face. He will act impartially according to the law. He is selfless and does not recognize his relatives!
Therefore, Zhao Yu is obviously a typical disciple of the Legalist, and "Fa" is the only one in his life!
Zhang Ran felt that he would not be able to live a better life in the future when he was a ruthless person!
Seeing Zhang Ran’s dissatisfaction, Dong Zhongshu couldn’t help but comfort him: “Don’t worry, Xiao Lang, although Zhao Yu is a rigid person, and does not favor personal feelings. However, his character is not bad, and his demeanor is consistent, but his behavior is a little bit strict. As long as Xiao Lang adheres to his original intention and does things seriously, Zhao Yu will generally not deliberately target you! What’s more, Xiao Lang has the appointment of the emperor and specializes in the work, and others have no right to interfere... There is no need to worry about how Zhao Yu’s reaction..."
When Zhang Ran heard this, he felt a little comfort in his heart and couldn't help but bow: "Well! Thank you Mr. Dong for helping him solve the problem!"
As soon as Zhang Ran finished speaking, King Wuqiu Shou, who was standing beside him, couldn't help but remind Zhang Ran: "Brother Ran, the affairs of the court are complicated, and there are many forces involved. If you enter the court in the future, you must remember to read more, remember more, talk less, and do less. Never act irresponsible, and follow your brother's life!"
"Uh" Zhang Ran was even more curious when he heard what Wu Qiu Shou said. What did the other party do at the beginning... However, considering that it may not be the time to ask this, Zhang Ran had to nod and bow and thank him: "Thank you, Brother Zigan, for your reminder!"
