Recalling the day he entered the palace, the official Zhao Ji asked Yang Jian to inform him that from the moment he was instructing his beloved disciple in calligraphy.
I am afraid that by that time, I will have fallen into the hands of the officials.
Although he just told himself there that Gao Zhang was his successor and he wanted to do big things and he needed his full support.
But it has never revealed what happened. Now that you have agreed, do you want to regret it?
Thinking of the official's character, Tong Guan couldn't help but raise his hand to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead.
It's such a scheming, no wonder the official family would use a little baby to handle this matter. In fact, this is clearly a scheming against himself, Cai Jing, and Gao Qiu.
But the problem is that not only can I not express opposition, I even have to try to solve various problems for the officials, or for Gao Zhang, the child.
Because he is a eunuch, neither a civil servant nor a general.
But it only belongs to the palace people, and it is the private property of the official family. I and others, no matter how powerful or capable they are.
As long as the officials don't like you, a single word will be enough to completely plunge you into the abyss, without even a bubble popping up.
Because the civil and military ministers of foreign dynasties cannot and dare not gossip about matters in the palace, let alone the officials dealing with domestic slaves.
Whether it is Gao Qiu or Cai Jing, they are foreign ministers after all. They have classmates, colleagues, and comrades...
As for the virtues of the eunuchs in the palace, Tong Guan knew better than anyone else.
But fortunately, it is not only himself who takes the blame, but also Cai Jing and Gao Qiu.
After Tong Guan let out a deep sigh, he picked up his pen and began to write carefully on the letter paper.
A quarter of an hour later, Gao Zhang received the handwritten letter from Tong Guan.
"Don't worry, Xiao Gao Zhuangyuan. If Cai Jing sees this handwritten letter from our family, he will definitely agree with his Liulang to work with you and Quanzi."
"If you have any problems in the future, just come to our family. As long as our family can handle it, we will definitely not hesitate to help."
Gao Zhang, who saw a series of changes in the great eunuch Tong Guan, bowed to him with gratitude on his face.
I sent some free compliments, discussed some details, then put the letter in my hand and left with satisfaction.
#####
Gao Zhang and Cai Laoliu rushed to Cai Mansion, but Cai Jing had already returned to the manor and heard that Gao Zhang had come to see him on official business.
After being stunned for a long time, someone invited Gao Zhang to the study.
Facing the only son of Gao Qiu, now the prodigy champion, and looking at his own Liulang, now the secretary of the provincial government, Mr. Xiaoge, standing next to him.
Cai Jing felt that it would be great if God could just open his eyes and change the identities of Gao Zhang and Liu Lang.
The more outstanding Gao Zhang was, the more irritated Cai Xiang was to dislike Liu Lang.
Gao Zhang stepped forward and saluted the treacherous Prime Minister Cai Jing, and then pointed at Cai Laoliu, who held his head high and showed no fear in facing his own father.
He repeated what he said to Tong Guan Jiwai before.
Cai Jing was a little surprised to hear that Tong Guan had agreed to allow his stepson Tong Zhisheng to work with Gao Zhang.
"If Prime Minister Cai doesn't believe it, please read this letter that Tong Zhuan asked me to deliver to Prime Minister Cai. You will know after reading it."
Cai Jing took the letter suspiciously, glanced at it twice, his eyelids twitched wildly, and he suddenly raised his head.
The first thought in his mind was exactly the same as that of Tong Guan. There must be something wrong with the official's mind.
He actually dared to entrust the reform of such an important military and national affairs to Gao Zhang, a prodigy who had just entered the officialdom.
Cai Laoliu saw his father's face changed drastically and his expression became gloomy. He continued to read the letter. He couldn't help but beat a drum in his heart and asked Gao Zhang in a low voice.
"Senior brother, will my father disagree?"
Gao Zhang, who had been paying attention to the changes in Cai Jing's expression, smiled and comforted him smoothly.
"Don't worry. Even if your father wants to hide you in the snow, he also knows very well. Junior brother, your edges are so sharp, how can you hide them?"
After hearing his senior brother's pleasant words, Cai Laoliu couldn't help but perked up and clenched his hands into fists.
Yes, what the senior brother said makes sense, and his father suppresses him again and hides himself.
But with his talent, his actions can at best only slightly delay the time when he will go down in history.
"Xiao Gao Zhuangyuan, since you are so fond of my dog, if I don't agree, it will look stingy..."
After finally reading the letter written by Tong Guan, Cai Jing raised his head and nodded at Gao Zhang with a smile.
Hearing the title "Old Man's Dog", the proud Cai Laoliu felt evil in his heart.
What a god, I am the Qilin son of the Cai family, okay?
But considering that his father always used to beat himself up as a pastime, the dark-faced Cai Laoliu snorted and decided not to argue with his father in front of others and talk about it later.
Otherwise, if in front of Gao Zhang, his father picked up the ruler and beat him until he ran away with his head in his arms, how could he have the face to be remembered in history and be famous for generations to come?
"In that case, I would like to thank Prime Minister Cai. But apart from that, there is one more thing. I'm afraid my junior brother can't make the decision."
"We need to spend money to buy shares in the workshop. If we want to undertake outsourcing, the workshop must be large enough, so it will cost a lot of money. At least this amount is required..."
Gao Zhang stretched out his finger, gestured towards Cai Jing, and gave the specific number.
Prime Minister Cai's eyelids twitched, he gritted his teeth and glanced at his son Cai Laoliu several times, but finally agreed.
As long as you handle the matter well, you will inform the cashier in the mansion to pay for it later.
Gao Zhang, who had successfully completed his journey of taking in the sleeping dragon and phoenix chick, said goodbye with satisfaction.
Cai Laoliu, who noticed something was wrong with the way his father looked at him, personally sent Gao Zhang away.
As soon as the two young men left, the confidant butler looked worried.
"Master, do you really agree to let Rokuro and this boy handle this matter?"
"This matter will not only offend countless ministers, but even many of the old subordinates of the master will suffer damage due to this. I am afraid that when the time comes, once the situation gets out of control..."
"Don't worry." A meaningful smile appeared on Cai Jing's face, and he said leisurely while stroking his long beard.
"Do you think that Gao Zhang, who is a little clever, and the stupid boy from the Tong family and Liu Lang can accomplish this big thing?"
"Gao Zhang, this young man, was able to outshine this year's imperial examination talents with his own talent, and was lucky enough to win the first prize.
He may have some real ability after being favored by the emperor, but after all, he is still an eleven-year-old child, and it has only been less than two months since he became an official. What experience does he have in serving as an official and in politics.
As for Tong Guan’s stepson, he has the courage to be unstoppable. If he is asked to do government affairs, it is better to let him kill people and set fires, which is easier to achieve results. As for Liu Lang, well..."
