"Why did your stepson Tong Zhi Jisheng get into trouble again? Those memorials from the imperial censor are right there."
Official Zhao Ji pointed to the dozen or so impeachment memorials placed aside, and said with a half-smile.
When Tong Guan heard this, he thought of his stepson Tong Zhisheng, whom he saw in the mansion yesterday, proudly showing off his tattoo of "The Analects of Confucius" to him.
On the spot, he was so angry that he, a powerful eunuch who was known as the concubine in the official circles of the Song Dynasty, couldn't do anything about the stupid and arrogant child.
At this moment, all the officials spoke, and Tong Guan immediately fell to the ground in fear.
"Guan family, after my servant heard about this yesterday, I already severely punished that bastard. Please ask Guan family..."
"Okay, I'm not blaming you, let alone your stepson."
Facing this powerful eunuch who had made great achievements in the military, the official Zhao Ji was still very tolerant.
After all, eunuchs are the royal family slaves. If they can fight and achieve results, it is equivalent to giving the royal family face.
Moreover, this Tong Guan was brought out by Li Xian, the great eunuch of the Song Shenzong period, Zhao Ji's father.
And this Li Xian was originally a eunuch who was very good at leading troops in battle during the Song Shenzong period, and he had great military exploits.
At that time, Tong Guan had been following Li Xian in the east and west, and in the north and south, and accumulated rich combat experience.
Don't look at Tong Guan's thick eyebrows and angry eyes, he looks like a righteous and rough warrior, but in fact he is also an experienced driver who knows how to figure out the thoughts of officials.
This is also the reason why he, a great eunuch who is twenty-nine years older than the official Zhao Ji, can go through three dynasties and still maintain his favor and honor.
"As a young man, he is frivolous and wanton. He has a tattoo of The Analects of Confucius on his body. That's okay."
"You told me that this son has unstoppable courage and is born with supernatural powers. I have been thinking about what official position I should give him."
Having said this, official Zhao Ji's eyes fell on Tong Guan.
The stepson's stubborn temper that gave him a headache flashed through Tong Guan's mind, and he lowered his head humbly again.
"My slave, thank you for being so kind to me, but that bastard is undecided and has a loose temper..."
Yang Jian on the side has been silently observing everything in front of him. To be honest, Yang Jian is also quite envious of this child.
He could lead thousands of troops and make great achievements with the remains of an eunuch, not to mention that he was a slave of the emperor, so he acted with far less fear than those officials.
Moreover, his frequent achievements in meritorious service also made the officials look upon him with special regard. It can be said that Tong Guanzi was the most special eunuch around the officials.
Although Tong Guan thought that his children still needed a good education and were not suitable for officialdom for the time being, the officials were not dissatisfied.
Instead, he picked up the "Thousand-Character Essay" placed on the desk, looked at it with satisfaction, and then handed it to Tong Guandao.
"A few days ago, you came to me to ask for calligraphy stickers. It's a pity that during that time, I was too busy and didn't have much thought."
"You came at the right time today. There happens to be a piece of "The Thousand Character Essay" written here..."
When Tong Guan saw the "Thousand-Character Essay" written in a skilled and seasoned thin gold hand that was handed to him, he couldn't help but be overjoyed and fell to the ground once again.
"My slave, thank you so much. It's hard for my family to remember your wish after such a long time."
After Tong Guan happily held the copy of "The Thousand Character Essay" and left with a lot of gratitude, Yang Jian looked at Tong Guan's burly figure, which was a head taller than his own, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
That "Thousand Character Essay", haha... Although it was indeed written in thin gold style, the author was not an official, but Gao Zhang, the official's beloved disciple.
This made Yang Jian couldn't help but suck in his breath again like a toothache. The official's operation was really...
He didn't know that in his eyes, his beloved disciple Gao Zhang was more valued by him, so he did this. Or it's because he is too lazy and unwilling to write another article by himself.

The east building of Fan Tower seemed extremely busy today. Even though it was still early, it was not yet dinner time.
But at this moment, there are a large number of craftsmen on the first floor of the east building who are finishing the stage as quickly as possible.
The east building of Fan Building has been closed for renovation these days, which naturally aroused the curiosity of guests who often go to Fan Building to spend money.
But what they all got was the same answer, that is, the first oiran girl of Song Dynasty Goulan will perform a brand-new show here.
This naturally aroused the curiosity of countless guests. Unfortunately, the East Building of Fan Tower is the largest among the four buildings of Fan Tower.
However, the number of guests that can be accommodated is only one or two hundred, and only those who can get invitations to the premiere of the show.
Almost all of them are those VIPs from Fan Lou who have spent a lot of money, or they are talented people who are very proud, or they are high-ranking officials.
Moreover, this Fan Building has several special private rooms on the second floor.
These private rooms are extremely private, and there are special passages for entry and exit. As for the purpose, it is self-evident.
One of the most private ones was naturally reserved for the Emperor Zhao Ji of the Song Dynasty, who was transformed into an official Zhao.

Gao Zhang, who was only eleven years old, was looking at the layout of the east building and everything here with a straight face at the moment.
The scenery, lighting, and various arrangements were all exactly according to his requirements.
And Auntie Li, the old madam who was over forty but still full of charm, was whispering something to Miss Shishi.
From time to time, his eyes glanced at Gao Zhang, the world-famous prodigy. Gao Zhang didn't know what they were talking about. Anyway, what they talked about was not important. What was important was that the following song and dance drama must not go wrong.
After confirming that everything was okay, Gao Zhang raised his arm and greeted loudly.
"Okay, little sister, everything has been set up. Let's start the final rehearsal now."
Hearing Gao Zhang's greeting, Miss Shishi nodded towards the Madam and hurriedly appeared...
Soon, the sound of music started playing in Dongmeng. At this moment, everyone held their breath, calmed down, and watched this unprecedented performance...
The official Zhao Ji finally got off the carriage, but at this moment, in order to hide from others, his carriage stopped at a side entrance of Fan Tower.
When he raised his eyes, he saw Gao Zhang already waiting here, and he couldn't help but feel warm in his heart.
"How did you come?"
"The master is here at the invitation of the disciples. How can the disciples not greet the master respectfully?"
"I also invite Master to come with me. I have already renovated a private room specially for Master on the second floor of the east building of Fan Tower."
"It allows Master to see and hear clearly, while also ensuring sufficient privacy."
"Even the passage leading to that private room cannot be entered by others by mistake..."
