For two full days, the officials claimed to be ill and did not go to court. This made all the important civil and military officials feel deeply distressed, but they were helpless.
After all, it is not unheard of for this talented and ignorant king to be busy with artistic creation, or he is busy practicing cultivation and not going to court.
No matter how futile impeachment is, this talented and incompetent king has already understood the samadhi of pretending to be deaf and dumb.
All the ministers could do as they did in the past, leaving all their affairs on the court, and Cai Jing, the treacherous Prime Minister of the Song Dynasty, once again became the spokesperson of the Emperor of the Song Dynasty.
After he and the other ministers finished fighting in the ring and dispersed, Cai Jing and Tong Guan walked slowly at the end.
"Tong Zhanwen, have you received a letter from your uncle?"
Upon hearing this, Tong Guan stroked his sparse beard and groaned, saying very unhappily.
"Hmph, that scoundrel, after leaving Tokyo, he is like a wild horse without a bridle. How can he remember our father?"
"Where's your Mukuro? Do you have any letters?"
"..." Cai Jing stroked his long beard, faced the child's probing gaze, and finally sighed helplessly.
"The evil obstacle is not much better, but fortunately, I told my personal entourage that if something happens, I will send the news back to Tokyo in time. I think nothing will happen."
The two elders were both worried about their evil animals and looked forward in unison.
I saw Lieutenant Gao chatting and laughing quietly with a group of military officials while walking in stride.
"Gao Qiu may not have thought that he could secure his position as a lieutenant because of his twelve-year-old baby..."
Cai Jing couldn't help but laugh with disdain, speaking in a neither yin nor yang manner.
Hearing this, Tong Guan glanced at Prime Minister Cai with a sly expression.
It seems that the powerful Prime Minister Cai must not know Gao Zhang's identity and his status in the eyes of the officials.
When I think of the thin gold "Thousand Character Essay" that I have framed and hangs in my study.
Think about it again, Gao Zhang's various actions in recent years, it would be strange if there was no support from the official family, both overt and covert.
At this moment, Cai Jing's voice came to his ears.
"Tong observed that by now, they should have arrived in the Suzhou and Hangzhou areas. The truth is that the prime minister has already informed the officials about the establishment of the Hangzhou Shipping Department."
"I want Zhu Meng to do it. I wonder what Tong Guan thinks?"
Tong Guanyi thought that in recent years, Zhu Chong and Zhu Meng's father and son had sent truckloads of money and silk to Tokyo during the holidays.
As his warehouse and money box became fuller, he couldn't help but talk about the good relationship between father and son, and it was just a matter of course.
"They, father and son, are old acquaintances of you and me. It is really a clever move for them to come to run the Hangzhou Shipping Company."
"In this case, if we can get the help of Tong Observation, then this matter can be settled. It just so happens that there is a memorial here, which I want to present to the officials. I don't know Tong Observation..."
Tong Guan laughed and raised his hand to indicate that the pair of powerful eunuchs walked quickly towards the depths of the palace side by side.

In the study, Yang Jian was slowly studying ink with two dark circles under his eyes.
Zhao Ji, an official from the Song Dynasty who also had two dark circles under his eyes, is continuing to create with passion.
Gao Zhang's painting is still hanging in front of him. At this moment, all the parts that should be copied have been completed.
The rest is the re-creation of the official Zhao Ji.
Just like before, the handsome young man who bowed to the Immortal Lord only had his back, but in the painting of the official Zhao Ji.
This handsome young man is standing obediently next to the immortal, holding a pen in his hand, thinking deeply and gaining something.
The previously carefree and comfortable Immortal Lord has raised his eyebrows and raised his arms in this painting, as if he is preaching and explaining to this handsome young man.
As for other people and objects, there are no changes, but the sense of purity and purity can be felt by everyone who watches the painting.
This made Yang Jian, who grew up watching the official Zhao Ji, have to admit that this painting by the official Zhao Ji, who first copied it and then developed it on his own, is definitely a rare masterpiece in the official family in recent years.
In the past two days, apart from sleeping, eating and peeing, the officials spent almost all the rest of their time standing in front of the desk and splashing ink.
Such tenacious willpower and passion are so rare that it appears in this official who has always been impatient.
When the pen tip touches the painting, the subtle rustling sound is so clear in the quiet room.
At this moment, Tong Guan and Cai Jing finally arrived hand in hand.
Liang Shicheng, who had been staying outside the study door and strictly prohibited anyone from approaching the study and disturbing the official's creation, saw these two people and hurriedly came forward to greet them.
"Our family has met Prime Minister Cai and Tong Kuan. May I ask why you came to visit the official family?"
Cai Jing glanced at the study room with the door ajar, and realized that this foolish king was indeed engaged in creation again.
However, Gao Zhang and others had already arrived in Suzhou and Hangzhou, and they were sure that the affairs of the Hangzhou Shipping Department could not be delayed any longer.
Cai Jing nodded and smiled at Liang Shicheng.
"I'd like to ask Zhongguan Liang to report this to the officials. This is an important matter related to the Liangzhe Road Hangzhou Shipping Department and requires official decision-making."
That's all for other chores, but of course Liang Shicheng didn't dare to directly turn away such matters involving national affairs.
After saying hello to the two of them, he gently opened the study door and walked in.
After a short while, there was a low voice of exchange in the study room. Soon, Liang Shicheng walked out quickly and smiled apologetically at the two big guys.
"The official has issued an order, you two need to wait for a moment."
"..." After Cai and Tong looked at each other in a tacit understanding, they stood there helplessly and started chatting, waiting for the official creation to end.
#####
Until the two bosses stood with sore legs and feet, and no call came from inside, Liang Shicheng had someone bring them a small horse to sit here and wait.
After waiting for almost half an hour, I saw the study door slowly opening.
Then he saw Yang Jian, the official's number one confidant, standing at the door with a pair of serious dark circles under his eyes, respectfully inviting the two of them to enter the study.
After Cai Jing and Tong Guan signaled to Yang Jian, they slowly entered the house.
Then he saw that the official was facing away from the two of them, admiring a large painting hanging high in the study room.
With just one glance, Cai Jing and Na Tong Guan recognized the immortal with lightning-like eyes and extraordinary handsomeness in the center of the painting, who looked exactly like today's officials.
Seeing this scene, even though Cai Jing and Tong Guan were very good at controlling their emotions, they subconsciously twisted their mouths and almost burst into laughter.
At this moment, a fast horse is galloping towards Tokyo's Bianliang City, which is not far away at a lightning speed...
