I also want to be a prime minister and a powerful minister, but the steps are too big and it’s easy to lose my temper. Especially for an eleven-year-old like me, I have a disadvantage: my legs are short.
Zhao Ji, an official, couldn't help but feel happy when he saw Gao Zhang's delicate little face full of melancholy.
"Why, do you think this is nonsense as a teacher?"
Gao Zhang wanted to nod his head vigorously, pull out a bronze mirror, and ask Master Hunjun to repeat the nonsense he just said in front of the mirror.
Fortunately, his emotional intelligence controlled his body language and made him show a cute expression.
"The disciples think that the master is doing this because he has his reasons."
"Haha, yes, if you do this for your teacher, there is certainly a precedent to follow."
Official Zhao Ji raised his eyebrows and said proudly to Gao Zhang.
"You are still young, so you don't know. For example, during the reign of Emperor Taizong, after Lu Mengzheng passed the imperial examination, he was awarded the official position of being a supervisor from the sixth rank."
Gao Zhang suddenly realized this, and he was secretly relieved. As long as there was a precedent to follow, he was afraid of nothing.
After all, he is also the only prodigy champion in the Song Dynasty, so it is normal to receive some special treatment.
"...I see. Disciple, thank you Master for your advice. Since Master values me so much, how can I disobey you?"
"Is this the right thing? Come on, tell me, my teacher, where do you plan to start?"
"This disciple is going to conduct further research on the various workshops where we prepare the ordnance of the Song Dynasty.
After reaching a preliminary conclusion, I will report it to Master and ask Master to make a decision. "
"Okay, at such a young age, you can be so mature in doing things. It makes me feel more at ease to be a teacher like this."
After the amiable master Zhao Ji gave Gao Zhang some more advice, he said goodbye to Gao Zhang with satisfaction and returned to the car.
From the opened curtain of the rear car, I could see that even though he had left, Gao Zhang still stubbornly stood there waving goodbye.
This made Zhao Ji, an official, feel extra warm inside, having such a well-informed and knowledgeable disciple who also understood his talents very well.
It really makes people look forward to his future...
Zhao Ji sat in the carriage and continued to move forward as the carriage swayed.
In fact, the official Zhao Ji still has a lot to say but has not said it, and there are many examples that he has not listed.
Except for Lu Mengzheng, who was awarded the title of General Supervisor as soon as he entered the position as the number one scholar.
There is also Wang Yaochen, who won the first prize in the Tiansheng examination in the fifth year of Emperor Renzong of the Song Dynasty. He was initially awarded the official position of eunuch;
There is also Ye Zuqia, the number one scholar in the third year of Xining, Emperor Shenzong of the Song Dynasty. After passing the exam, he was awarded the position of Imperial Imperial College.
The reason why Zhao Ji, an official, took Lu Mengzheng as an example, he had to mention Lu Mengzheng's future.
In the second year of Taiping and Xingguo's reign (977), Lu Mengzheng, who was selected as the number one scholar by Emperor Taizong, was awarded the title of General Superintendent and Chief Supervisor of Shengzhou.
When bidding farewell to the emperor, the emperor ordered that if there was any inconvenience in handling political affairs, he was allowed to ride a post horse to appeal and give him two hundred thousand yuan.
In the fourth year of Taiping and Xingguo's reign (979), Emperor Taizong summoned him to the palace to have an audience with him, and he was appointed as the author, Zhishiguan, and Zuo Shiyi.
In the fifth year of the Taiping and Xingguo reign (980), he was appointed Zuo Buque and Zhizhi Gao.
But in the eighth year of the Taiping Xingguo reign (983), he was promoted to Zuo Jianyi doctor and participated in political affairs.
You must know that the first person to participate in political affairs is a second-grade consul. In other words, it only took six years for Nalumunding to go from being the number one scholar to a consul.
"In six years, you can become a counselor of political affairs. If Xiao Gao can become a counselor of political affairs after six years..."
When I think of my beloved disciple Xiao Gao, who has the official position of participating in political affairs, he is an official in the same dynasty and a minister in the same palace as his father, Taiwei Gao Qiu.
Six years later, Xiao Gao was only seventeen years old by then.
When Lu Mengzheng became the prime minister in charge of the state affairs of the Song Dynasty, it had only been eleven years since he was the top scholar in high school.
At the same time, Xiao Gao was only twenty-two years old, if he really appeared that young.
If Xiao Gao were to become the Prime Minister of the Song Dynasty even in less than eleven years, the whole world would be shocked, right?
"I hope he will not disappoint his teacher and understand the painstaking efforts of his teacher."
The official Zhao Ji, who was full of expectations, couldn't help but smile with anticipation.
Cai Aiqing is getting old and needs a young man who is young, energetic and talented to be his successor.
Wouldn't it be wonderful if this successor was his disciple?
The joyful laughter spread through the carriage and outside the carriage.
Yang Jian, who was following the carriage, felt sour in his heart. Fortunately, he quickly adjusted his attitude and asked the official why he was so happy.
"I feel that now that I have this kid Xiao Gao by my side, my mood is much better than before."
"I believe it won't take too long for him to be able to take care of me and share my worries..."
After some sighs and sighs, Zhao Ji's eyes fell on Yang Jian.
"Remember, I only want you to listen."
Looking at Zhao Ji, an official with dagger-like eyes, Yang Jian felt chilly and quickly bowed his head to express his stance.
"Don't worry, officials. Even if I die, I won't dare to reveal anything."
#####
Seeing Master Hunjun's carriage going further and further away, Gao Zhang raised his head and looked at the sky, dazed for a long time.
Well, Master Hunjun really loves him very much. For his own sake, he even showed off his ancestors’ excellent example of conferring officials to the number one scholar.
But similarly, since I accepted the kindness of Master Hunjun, I naturally have to achieve results as soon as possible.
Master Hunjun, who has a quick temper and behaves like a slut when his brain gets hot, typically lasts too long, so I seize every day.
So how to do it, how to do it beautifully, is a test of people's ability to do things.
When he thought that he had not even taken a sip of the wine at the Qionglin Banquet, he had already begun to worry about the country and the people because of the weakened military preparedness of the Song Dynasty.
This made Gao Zhang look up to the sky with a sigh of exhaustion. I am still a child, but I have to bear a heavier pressure than my own father, the lieutenant. Is this okay?
Forget it, there must be a way for the car to reach the mountain. After the Qionglin Banquet, Master Hunjun will really confer an official on himself before thinking about it.
Nowadays, it is better to leave more happiness for yourself.
After thinking about it, why don't we go to Ms. Shishi's place to relax today?
But when he thought of his mother Huang's complaints today, Gao Zhang couldn't help but feel a little guilty.
"Let's go, finally get out of the house and take a walk in the city. By the way, Fu'an, get in the car. I have something to ask you."
After hearing this order, under the envious eyes of all the Gao family members, Fu'an got into the young master's special car with a proud look on his face.
"I was selected as the number one pick yesterday. How much did we win?"
"Sir, we have won by this amount, a full five thousand strings..."
As the person in charge of betting at the gambling stall, Fu'an raised his fingers and gestured proudly towards Gao Zhang, the young master who swore sworn sworn ties to gambling and drugs.
"Are you saying that you won a full five thousand coins, not counting the principal?"
