No one expected that Captain Gao, who was wearing tight-fitting clothes and sweating profusely, bouncing the ball with his feet as effortlessly as walking, was coming towards them.
"..." The four people who were walking with the lamp on and talking in low voices all silently closed their mouths.
He looked straight at the ball-playing Taiwei Gao Qiu, the number one military minister of the Song Dynasty, who was coming towards the ball.
Gao Zhang secretly glanced at these three loyal ministers of the Song Dynasty and saw their faces full of strange expressions.
He rolled his eyes helplessly, quickly left these three people behind, walked a few steps quickly, and saluted his biological father.
"My child has seen his father. Father, why don't you rest at this late hour?"
Wu, Chen, and Zhang saw Captain Gao just flipping the ball into the air and heard his son's greetings.
I saw the ball falling towards the ground, and I didn't know what kind of footwork he used. The ball was like an obedient living creature.
He stepped back to his feet without making a sound the whole time.
If the occasion and location were different, the three people who also loved this competitive sport would definitely have cheered.
But now, you are the most powerful military official in the Song Dynasty. You have to meet in court early tomorrow. It is almost midnight, and you are still playing ball? !
Is this appropriate? If it weren't for your son's sake, I would definitely write a letter of impeachment against you.

"As a father, I just feel that my body has been tight these past few days, and I feel active playing ball..."
Gao Qiu also saw the three familiar strangers looking at him blankly.
His balls ached, and he threw the ball to the side of the road with a bit of embarrassment, and cupped his hands towards the three of them as a greeting.
"I've met Lieutenant Gao..."
The three civil servants all wanted to express something, but considering that the time and place were wrong, they could only bow to Gao Qiu stiffly and slightly awkwardly.
Gao Qiu watched his son Gao Zhang continue to see off the three people. He shook his head helplessly, hooked his foot, and the ball quietly returned to him.
With one hook and another, the ball flew up obediently again, and then Gao Taiwei continued to bump the ball while taking steps. His movements were cool and calm, and he looked like the king of the ball.
Everyone was relatively silent during the rest of the journey, mainly because they didn’t know what to talk about. Talking about football? Or how to play ball?
Gao Zhang was also helpless, but he didn't think it was wrong for his father to play ball. He had been playing for most of his life, so what was the point of continuing to play?
My biological father relied on this craft to become a lieutenant, and he still needs to continue to use this craft to maintain a close relationship with the official family.
What is this called? Being more proficient in work than being diligent but being lazy in play shows that my father is very conscientious. Although this conscientiousness may seem a bit unfair to others, it is very serious when applied to my own father, Gao Qiu.
The three elite civil servants stood at the door of the mansion and turned around to say goodbye to Gao Zhang with complicated expressions.
"Good nephew Guizhang, don't get into any conflict with your father. After all, your father must have his own difficulties. You just have to be yourself."
Gao Zhang stared blankly as Wu Zhizhong dropped such a sentence and got into the carriage.
Chen Shilang patted himself on the shoulder, showed an expression of pity, and got into the carriage.
Zhang Shuye saluted him with an expression of sincerity and admiration, and got into the carriage.
Watching the carriage with three old men on it go further and further away, I wonder who will be on top, in the middle, or below if the carriage suddenly jolts?
Gao Zhang shook his head for a long time with a dark look on his face, and let out a deep sigh.
Forget it, it's best not to explain or say anything. Anyway, I think my father is fine like this, and others can do whatever they want. This is my father, not yours.
The rear window of the carriage had been lifted up at some point, revealing the six eyes of three old men.
They all looked straight at the young figure standing at the door, looking so lonely.
After a long while, Wu Zhizhong finally let out a melancholy sigh.
"What a good boy, and finally met such a father."
"Yeah...it's such a pity."
"Captain Gao is the father of Duke Zhuangyuan. As the saying goes, a son never speaks of his father's fault. I think Duke Zhuangyuan must feel very uncomfortable in his heart, right?"
"He was racking his brains and making plans for the Song Dynasty, while his father was enjoying himself playing ball..."
"If I have such an evil beast who neglects government affairs and plays around all day long, I would rather kill him than let him cause harm."
"But that is the father of the Number One Scholar after all."
"..." Another burst of sighs and regrets came and went on the carriage...

After the Zhang Shuye incident was resolved, thanks to the efforts of the officials of the Song Dynasty and Na Tong Guan.
The important matter of the Song Dynasty to establish the General Staff Council, a high-level military institution, finally passed the court meeting with difficulty.
The official order of the Song Dynasty to appoint Tong Guan as the envoy of the Staff Council soon became known to the world.
Regarding the establishment of the General Staff Council, it can be said that there is a mixture of praise and praise. Civil servants are very disgusted with it. Some people even like to submit memorials to impeach it. Otherwise, it will be unhappy.
As for the military officials, most of them naturally welcomed the establishment of the General Staff Council.
After all, this place will become the own circle of those famous generals of the Song Dynasty who have high moral standing and outstanding achievements.
You can just and confidently shut out those civil servants who like to chatter away completely.
However, there are also some military officials who are unwilling to do so. As a result, the military officials of the Song Dynasty will never have the chance to set foot in the Privy Council.
Of course, some people were unhappy that Tong Guan, a powerful official who liked to take credit or shirk responsibilities, became the envoy of the General Staff Council.
After all, Tong Guan has never been a good bird, but unfortunately there is nothing anyone can do.
No one can touch this confidant and powerful eunuch of the Song Dynasty official family.
My father's attitude towards the Privy Council was the same. After all, he, the Taiwei, had real power, but the General Staff Council had just been established, and its responsibilities and powers were not yet clear.
What's more, the officials have already decided that Tong Guan belongs to him, so there is no need for him to fight for it. In addition, the officials still gave Gao Qiu the position of deputy envoy of the General Staff Council.
It shows that he still has not forgotten the biological father of his beloved disciple Gao Zhang.
However, these have little to do with him, Gao Guizhang. After all, he has a lot of things to do, and they are all very serious. For example, today, he is going to the Shenlei Division to inspect various aspects of the Shenlei Division. item of work.
In addition, I also brought several exquisite treasures produced by Kaifeng Metal Workshop.
And these treasures are now in the car behind. The big car is tightly wrapped, and there is no clue at all.
This made Yang Xiong and Zhao Yaban extremely greedy, but the Number One Scholar had already told them that this object would definitely be appreciated by them today, but not here, but in the dedicated test explosion area of Shenlei Company.
Sorry, sorry, fell asleep, upload it quickly, keep working hard!
