After taking the copy of the treaty and eagerly opening it to admire it, Yang Douzhi couldn't help but be astonished.
"About the Number One Scholar? Please tell me and listen."
Zhao Yaban then told in detail how he went to a high-end restaurant to eat and drink with Duke Zhuangyuan and the Liao envoy today, and met a young talent Li Bangyan.
After that, he told Yang Duzhi about the complaints made by the No. 1 Duke Gao Zhang after he left the restaurant in such detail that even the punctuation marks were missing.
Yang Douzhi was calm, sipping wine and eating side dishes. After listening to Zhao Abban's statement, he also showed a puzzled expression.
"I'm afraid there's something fishy here."
"I just feel that something is wrong, so I would like to ask you to analyze it for me..."
Yang Douzhi glanced at this important member of the Imperial City Department who was a rough martial artist, and rubbed his brows helplessly.
He began to pace slowly in the hall, carefully trying to figure out what the No. 1 scholar had complained to Zhao Abban.
And we also need to analyze its purpose and intention. First of all, the champion felt that there was a lack of manpower around him.
Second, I feel that the people in the Imperial City Division are easy to use and can be used.
Third, the man named Li Bangyan was a Taisheng, and a Taisheng was not an official, but just a scholar, and he was still a scholar with official status.
Naturally, Zhuangyuan Gong has no way to use such a person.
Then here comes the problem. The Number One Scholar took a fancy to this talent and hoped that he could be as useful and useful as the people in the Imperial City Division.
Zhao Yaban just stared at Yang Douzhi who was walking blindly in the hall with his hands behind his back.
Zhao Yaban knew very well that this Yang Douzhi was much more flexible than him. If he was not good at it, then he would be even less good at it.
At this moment, Zhao Abban saw Yang Douzhi's eyes suddenly light up, with a look of surprise on his face.
"how……"
"Our family probably knows what our No. 1 Scholar means."
"What do you mean?" Zhao Abban asked impatiently.
"The Number One Scholar is also a person who loves talents, and he hopes to have capable help around him."
"But that Li Bangyan is a student from the Imperial College. There is a chance that a Imperial College student can become an official of our Song Dynasty."
"If that Li Bangyan becomes an official of the imperial court, can Duke Zhuangyuan still be able to drive the imperial officials like hawks and dogs?"
"...This shouldn't be possible, right?" Zhao Abban thought for a while and said unsurely.
After all, there are people in the court today who are driving officials like hawks and dogs at home, and this person is naturally the treacherous Prime Minister Cai Jing who is in charge of the court.
"It seems that Duke Zhuangyuan has a love for talents, but he can't recruit an imperial student under his command."
"That's why Duke Zhuang Yuan complained about this matter to Lao Zhao, an important member of the Imperial City Department. Do you understand?"
"What should I understand?" Zhao Abban was still confused.
Yang Douzhi's face turned dark and he couldn't help but rolled his eyes in disgust.
"That's all, let me tell you more clearly. The Number One Scholar is hinting at me.
I would like to ask the Imperial City Division if there is any way to get that imperial student to be taken under his command and serve as his eagle dog. "
"If that's the case, then why doesn't Duke Zhuangyuan say it directly?"
Zhao Abban wiped his face and complained unhappily.
Yang Douzhi gave him a meal angrily. "You! Alas...you want the Number One Scholar to come to our Imperial City Department to handle matters?"
"Don't forget what the Imperial City Division's position is in the minds of the people, civil and military officials in the world."
Only then did Zhao Yaban look astonished, thinking, the champion must have built a memorial arch.
Let the Imperial City Division do the dirty work, but isn't that what the Imperial City Division has always done?
But the biggest problem is that the Imperial City Division only takes orders from the emperor. Although Zhuangyuan Gong is the emperor's favorite, does he dare to order the Imperial City Division to do things? Of course not.
Therefore, from the beginning to the end, Zhuangyuan Gong did not instruct the Imperial City Division to do anything, he just complained.
If you, the Imperial City Secretary, feel that you are a dick, you don’t need to pay any attention to him.
But the problem is that although the Imperial City Division is very cool, the immediate boss of the Imperial City Division, Yang Douzhi's godfather Yang Jian, even smiles when facing the champion prince without saying a word.
Yang Douzhi and Zhao Adban had a secret discussion in the hall for almost an hour, and then Zhao Adban smiled with relief.
"Yang Douzhi is truly worthy of being the chief official of our Imperial City Department. His intelligence and stratagem are far inferior to those of lower officials."
"It doesn't matter. You have to get things done properly before you can please the No. 1 scholar."
Yang Duzhi rubbed his tight eyebrows and couldn't help but sigh.
Thinking about the past, what kind of unit was the Imperial City Division? It could be said that no one except the officials liked it.
Even Cai Jing, at most, could maintain an attitude of estrangement from the Imperial City Division.
But by chance, there was such a strange person as Zhuang Yuan Gong Gao Zhang. Of course, the most important thing is that the official family trusted the Zhuang Yuan Gong so much that even the power of the Imperial City Division was driven by him.
This kind of favor is not even inferior to that of the treacherous prime minister Cai Jing, and the champion is still so young.
In the future, I am afraid that when Duke Zhuang Yuan grows up, he may become a great figure with great power in the world.
I'm afraid that Cai Jing's current power is far less powerful than that of Zhuang Yuan Gong. At that time, if something happens...
Thinking of this, Yang Douzhi's eyelids jumped wildly, and he almost subconsciously wanted to slap himself.
Why are you just thinking about all these things? You might as well think carefully about how to solve the problem of the No. 1 Scholar’s desire to cherish talents.
Meeting his needs is what the Imperial City Division should do most now.
#####
Not to mention that he, Li Bangyan, was a student of the Imperial Academy, so what if he had already passed the Jinshi examination?
Whatever the Imperial City Division wants to do, there are many methods and means, including but not limited to formal and informal, conventional and unconventional.
All in all, we can not only solve problems, we can even create them.
"Here comes..." Following Yang Douzhi's shout, a marriage officer quickly entered the hall and saluted respectfully towards Yang Douzhi and Zhao Abban.
"You are here to find out about a student from Imperial College. His surname is Li Bangyan, his courtesy name is Zimei, and he is from Huaizhou."
"You must find out clearly what he has done, especially whether there is any violation of law or discipline that would be sufficient to remove his guilt from being a student of Imperial College..."
Upon hearing this, the marriage officer commander showed a confident and calm expression and obeyed the order sternly.
"Don't worry, the general will investigate carefully. Even if he was sneaking around when he was a child, the general will be able to find out."
"Okay, go ahead, remember, don't let him know, the Imperial City Department is investigating him, do you understand?"
"I will understand, I will say goodbye!"
Seeing the marriage officer commanding and walking away quickly, Yang Douzhi and Zhao Abban smiled at each other in tacit understanding.
Silently doing some dirty work for Duke Zhuangyuan, such as things to gain favorability, of course you have to do it, and you have to do it to the best of your ability.
