Gao Zhang watched the team drifting away, then withdrew his gaze, turned around and walked down the city gate tower.
All the Imperial Guard soldiers looked at this legendary example of a scholar in the Song Dynasty with the eyes of a giant panda, a national treasure.
After getting off the city gate tower, Gao Zhang got into the carriage, and the carriage sped towards the palace.
Fu'an showed off the momentum of being the number one confidant of Duke Zhuangyuan, and strode with his head held high.
After Lu Qian left, he finally felt that the pressure had been reduced a lot.
After all, in terms of weapons and kicks, he was no match for Lu Yuhou. Even with a good kick, he could put Lu Qian at a disadvantage.
Having said that, Lu Qian has now become a deputy general.
It's just that he belongs to the Imperial Army, but the troops under his command are from the Imperial City Division.
This is naturally due to his son's confidentiality considerations. This artillery unit, like the Shenlei Division, can be regarded as a confidential military unit of the Song Dynasty.
Lu Qian has followed Gao Zhang for many years, and he naturally has a very clear understanding of Gao Zhang's thoughts.
Therefore, after the cannon test, he was asked privately if he was willing to serve as the commander of this confidential force.
Lu Qian naturally obeyed the arrangements of Zhuangyuan Gong and became the first commander of the artillery force of the Song Dynasty.
Now, the flying thunder cannon battalion under his command has more than 500 people and will be equipped with 100 flying thunder cannons.
Each thunder cannon is handled by an artillery team, and they practice hard there every day.
Nowadays, the first hit rate of this Fei Lei Artillery Battalion is as high as 80%.
Gao Zhang was not surprised at all with such a high hit rate.
After all, this is only a distance of one hundred feet, which is about three hundred meters. The approximate launch angle can be calculated by visual inspection.
Gao Zhang's goal was to obtain a well-trained artillery unit to help before the Song Dynasty launched force against Xixia.
Moreover, Gao Zhang also told Lu Qian to practice hard and practice seriously.
As long as you can achieve good results, this artillery unit will be expanded.
And a thunder cannon will be equipped with five mules and horses, responsible for carrying the thunder cannon components and ammunition.
The main reason is that the ammunition of the flying thunder cannon is not light. It can't be transported by just carrying it on the shoulder. And the flying thunder cannon is useless if it lacks ammunition.
Just as Gao Zhang's thoughts were racing, the carriage slowly stopped below.
Gao Zhang raised the curtains of the carriage and saw a person approaching and saluting.
"I have met Gao Hanlin. I have been ordered by Yang Douzhi to deliver a message to Gao Hanlin."
#####
In the letter, Yang Douzhi first informed Gao Zhang that Wang Fu had been sent away from Bianliang, Tokyo, and believed that he would be sent to Xixia soon.
Apart from this incident, his godfather Yang Jianyan and the official family had a bad temper during this period, and he was afraid that it had something to do with the affairs of the three envoys.
Gao Zhang put away the letter and squinted his eyes. It seemed that the master's intention to implement organizational reforms was blocked at this initial stage.
If you want to solve this problem, you must solve the problem.
That is, Cai Jing, who covers the sky with one hand and has party members all over the court.
Of course, it is not to kill Cai Jing, but how to make Cai Jing submissive, obedient and obedient, and follow the official's wishes, so that the orders of the Third Secretary can continue.
"Go and tell Yang Douzhi that I will enter the palace tomorrow. Also, please help me bring a few words to Yang Douzhi..."
After listening to Gao Zhang's instructions, the messenger took note of these words and hurried away with a salute.
Gao Zhang sat back in the carriage and began to think about what kind of words he should use after entering the palace tomorrow, since he could give advice to Master Zhao Ji and control Cai Jing's lifeline.
At the same time, he could not disgrace his master and benefit him greatly, instead of feeling that he was not as smart as others.
Thinking of this, Gao Zhang couldn't help but sigh in pain.
Who knows that Master is such a foolish king with strong self-esteem and self-confidence.
If he directly entrusts the matter to himself and handles it well, he will definitely be happy, but he will feel that this is due to his knowledge of others.
But if he is going to solve the problem by himself, but he jumps out and makes comments, it will definitely make him unhappy.
After all, Master is also a very decent person, and it is precisely because of his good looks that he takes such good care of his successor.
But it is precisely for this reason that if you want to make decisions for him, you must have a very clever method and words that can make him excited.
However, since the day of the fight, I learned from Wu Zhizhong that Cai Jing, who has great power in the government and the public, also has enemies and opponents.
Gao Zhang had already begun to think about how to take advantage of this and force Cai Jing to submit.
#####
"Alas..." Zhao Ji, an official, was lying on the couch, feeling very sad. It had been so many days, but things still had not improved.
This made the official Zhao Ji quite unhappy with Cai Jing, but the problem was that compared to others, Cai Jing was indeed more useful and more in line with his own wishes.
However, the other party is submissive on the surface, but privately he is still instructing his minions to continue to carry it out, leaving the matter of the third envoy unresolved to this day.
Listening to the long and short sighs of the official on the couch, Yang Jian naturally knew very well what the official was worried about.
But I don't have any ideas. I can contribute to the official family to relieve the official family's hidden worries.
As for the Number One Scholar, someone sent him a message, but his words were obviously a bit confusing.
Just let yourself find out the memorial that impeached Zhang Shangying these days and put it in a prominent place in the imperial study.
Could it be that Gao Zhang was planning to persuade the officials to return Zhang Shangying to the court?
Yang Jian felt irritated when he thought of Zhang Shangying.
This Zhang Shangying is no better than Cai Jing, which is why the officials are willing to keep Cai Jing in the court and expel Zhang Shangying.
That guy is definitely a hardliner in his behavior. He will criticize Cai Jing no matter what he does.
Even if the officials do something, he has to step forward and give instructions.
I think officials should not do this or that. Just as your grandfather and your father were, you should be like that.
All in all, he is a master who dares to face the officials directly and never gives up without training them into disgraceful grandsons.
If such a person were to return to the court as prime minister, haha, not to mention other things, even the good-looking officials would not be able to accept it.
Let alone others, have you really thought about it, Mr. Zhuangyuan?
Just as Yang Jian was thinking silently, he raised his head and saw Gao Zhang walking towards this side from a distance.
He glanced back at the official family who had already fallen asleep, and quickly walked out to greet him quietly...
It's only right to take this opportunity to persuade the Number One Scholar not to do such nonsense.
I still haven’t written any more. I’m too sleepy, so I’ll go to bed first and write again when I get up.
