"...Shilang Zhang, you have studied hard since you were a child and are good at both civil and military affairs. At first, you were appointed as Lanzhou Recorder by your father and joined the army. When you were only eighteen years old, you dared to go deep into the border areas to survey the topography..."
At this moment, whether it was Zhang Shuye, Wu, or Chen, they all looked blankly at the fourteen-year-old Gao Zhang in front of them.
Wu and Chen were especially shocked. You must know that they only briefly mentioned Zhang Shuye's character and experience that day.
As a result, in just two days, Gao Zhang actually explored Zhang Shuye's life experience in such detail, as if he had seen it with his own eyes.
No matter how many years and months that Zhang Shuye had performed, even when he was managing the lawn in Guanzhong, he did not give up on himself and was strict with himself.
Even though he didn't understand the matter of forage, he still dared to put down his dignity and talk to the local forage farmers and his subordinates without shame.
Zhang Shuye looked straight at Gao Zhang, who was handsome and graceful.
Listening to the other party talking about his great achievements, he was very familiar with them.
While Gao Zhang was drinking tea to soothe his throat, Chen Shilang couldn't help but ask.
"Xian Nephew Guizhang, where on earth did you know so much about Shilang Zhang's past experiences?"
"Since the two elders have recommended this great talent to my nephew, how can I not take him seriously?"
"Since we attach great importance to him, we must first find out why Mr. Zhang is favored by these two elders."
"Only in this way, when my nephew recommends Zhang Shilang to the officials, he can be able to say something meaningful and not let the pearl become dust."
Looking at Gao Zhang who gave a reasonable answer, Wu Zhizhong, who vaguely guessed something, rolled his eyes covertly.
But you have to admit that what he said is really right. No matter how close the relationship between Xiao Gao and the official family is, there must be something useful.
He is not a treacherous person like Cai Jing or Tong Guan. No matter whether he is a person or a ghost, he will recommend him to the officials.
But the problem is, this guy is really very capable, even that kind of department has the door open to him.
#####
He is so talented, knowledgeable, clever and sophisticated that he even puts himself to shame.
Fortunately, fortunately, this boy is not like his father, and his path has not gone astray.
Otherwise, no one can tell whether he is a capable minister in times of trouble or a hero in troubled times.
Gao Zhang also introduced many situations in Suzhou to Zhang Shuye in detail, and even asked Na Fu'an to get a brochure.
These are Gao's thoughts and ideas about Suzhou's short-term and long-term plans based on his work in Suzhou.
Gao Zhang copied this thing again in the past two days and gave it to Zhang Shuye, who was so grateful to him.
I don’t expect him to act completely according to his own will. I just hope that after he goes to Suzhou, he will not destroy the good business environment he has created for Suzhou.
Zhang Shuye was really filled with emotion as he held this heavy booklet in his hands.
Although this is the only prodigy of the Song Dynasty who was named the number one scholar in the imperial examination for hundreds of years at the age of eleven, he has been famous for a long time.
He has never interacted with him, but his many deeds can be described as thunderous to his ears.
Earlier, I thought it was just Gao Taiwei who created Aizi's reputation after seeing that his son could get into the first prize.
But then he went to Jiangnan, and with just those Jiangnan soldiers, he put down the Zhu family's father-son rebellion in Jiangnan in a very short period of time.
After that, Suzhou, which had just experienced war, was governed in an orderly manner, all industries were excited, and even taxes were even higher than in previous years.
He also vigorously promoted double-cropping rice there, which shocked the entire Song Dynasty with Suzhou's grain output.
All these things have greatly changed Zhang Shuye's view of him.
There is nothing wrong with him in his behavior, speech, demeanor, and appearance.
Especially his praise for his own achievements is very comfortable to hear and can also feel his sincere praise.
It really makes people want to become close friends with this beautiful young man who can talk and become a close friend.
After today's meeting, Zhang Shuye was even more convinced that this person really lived up to his reputation as the number one child prodigy of the Song Dynasty.
In the end, it was under Wu Zhizhong's reminder that Zhang Shuye, who was so happy that he wanted to hold a candle to talk all night, then reluctantly stood up and said goodbye.
Gao Zhang naturally saw off these three people in person. Just as he stood up, Gao Zhang suddenly thought of something important.
The master helped him so powerfully, not allowing him to show up during the whole process, and at the end, he even asked Uncle Zhang Ye to express his gratitude to him.
As the saying goes, if you give someone a plum, you will repay him a peach. How can you not repay your master's love for you a hundredfold?
Seeing that Gao Zhang was about to stand up, he suddenly froze, which shocked the three people who were also about to stand up.
At this moment, Gao Zhang raised his head and saluted Wu Zhizhong.
"Uncle Wu, you have been in the court for a long time and are a civil servant. You know a lot about what has happened in the court over the years."
"So, my nephew has something to ask you."
Wu Zhizhong looked at Gao Zhang. Although he didn't understand what he wanted to inquire about, he still made a promise.
"Just ask, as long as I know the secret, I will definitely tell you."
"Over the years, has Prime Minister Cai had any rivals in the court?"
"In other words, an important minister who can gain the trust of officials and is extremely capable and responsible."
Chen Shilang's eyes lit up and he guessed subconsciously.
"My dear nephew, what did you do when you heard about this? Could it be that you want to find someone to replace Prime Minister Zhao and compete with Cai Jing?"
Gao Zhang glanced at Chen Shilang speechlessly. I just have a strong relationship with him, but I am not an emperor.
"Although I don't know what your intentions are, I can tell you that in today's world, there is only one person who can really make Cai Jing afraid.
There really is such a person. This person has the same surname as Zhang Shuye. His surname is Zhang, his given name is Shangying, and his courtesy name is Tianjue. He is a native of Xinjin. "
"In the first year of Chongning (1102), he worshiped Shangshu Youcheng and became Zuocheng. Because he and Cai Jing did not agree with each other on political affairs, the two often attacked each other."
"It caused chaos in the court and everything came to a standstill. In the end, the officials had no choice but to choose one of the two, to demote Zhang Shangying out of Tokyo and to know Bozhou.
But Cai Jing was deeply jealous of him and tried to get him to be a member of the Yuanyou Party, intending to kill him. "
"However, Zhang Shangying's brother is benevolent to the Emperor Shenzong. Although he is included in the Yuanyou Party, no one dares to touch him lightly..."
Hearing this, Gao Zhang's eyes lit up.
"Thank you Uncle Wu for your guidance."
Wu Zhizhong, who was walking slowly forward and taking a leisurely stroll, couldn't help but curiously asked Gao Zhang beside him.
"My dear nephew, you are asking about this, why are you here?"
Just as Gao Zhang was about to speak, he heard a bang, and after a while, another bang came.
Then he saw a tall and strong figure playing with a ball under the misty light not far away.
"..."
The second update is completed, keep working hard!
