Gao Zhang also saw Yang Jian Gui Gui Chongchong stepping out of the imperial study room like a thief. He also suppressed the thought of greeting him loudly and walked towards him.
"Our family has met the Number One Scholar, and the official fell asleep..."
"In that case, I will wait for a while before going in. Zhongguan Yang, have you done what I asked someone to tell you?"
Gao Zhang nodded, stood outside the imperial study room nonchalantly, looked around, and asked in a low voice.
"There is no reason why our family should not obey the explanation given by the Number One Scholar. It's just that you really want to understand, the Number One Scholar. Although Zhang Shangying is very capable.
But his personality is too strong, and if the number one scholar wants to recommend this person to the court, he will definitely make the officials unhappy..."
After hearing Yang Jian's chirping, Gao Zhang calmly shook his head.
"Who said I would recommend him to the officials?"
"Then why, Mr. Zhuangyuan, do you want our family to do this?"
"Of course it's for intimidation."
"Threatening?" Yang Jian sucked in air with toothache and looked at the No. 1 Scholar who looked as sure as if he had a chance to win.
Who are you threatening, officials? Have you forgotten who your power comes from?
"Zhongguan Yang, things are not what you think. Gao is not a person who does things without thinking."
Although Gao Zhang was very confident, Yang Jian was still worried. He was about to break the pot and ask the question, but he had already heard the noise coming from the imperial study room.
Gao Zhang straightened his clothes and robes outside the house, then walked towards the imperial study room and bowed respectfully to the master who had already stood up.
Official Zhao Ji nodded and smiled at Gao Zhang, raised his hand and rubbed his brow.
"Come on, come on, come and sit down. I'm tired, and I accidentally fell asleep just now."
Gao Zhang came to the front and took the initiative to rub the official's shoulders, speaking in a deep and troubled tone.
"Master is worried about national affairs day and night. It is really too hard. It is a pity that the disciple is still young and cannot do the work for Master."
Feeling the moderately strong massage on his shoulders, he heard Gao Zhang's sincere and comforting words in his ears.
Official Zhao Ji couldn't help but smile with relief.
"You don't have to be too impatient. Just do what you have to do and you can still hold on as a teacher."
"By the way, my teacher heard that you arranged for a person who was dismissed from office to be sent to the Imperial City Division..."
"Master, the thing is like this. This disciple has always been thinking about it. Over the years of our Song Dynasty, there have often been people who failed to pass the imperial examinations, and those who were not strong-willed went to Xixia to become officials."
"Some people have even been reused by the leader of the Xixia Kingdom. The disciple is thinking, then, why don't we think of a way..."
Official Zhao Ji enjoyed Gao Zhang's exquisite massage and listened to him state his purpose of doing so.
The dismissed official had poor moral character but was dismissed as a common man.
However, although this person has questionable moral character, he is quite talented. Another characteristic is that he has yellow hair.
This gave Gao Zhang a good inspiration, so he asked the Imperial City Division to take action. He invited this person to the Imperial City Division and persuaded him day and night.
In the end, he was deeply moved by the sincerity of the Imperial City Division and decided to cooperate with the Imperial City Division's actions.
Go to Xixia, try to establish a good relationship with Xixia officials, and strive to get in touch with the senior Xixia officials and even the leader of Xixia in a short period of time.
In this way, the Song Dynasty will be able to know every move of the Xixia Kingdom's court in detail, and he may even be able to become a confidant of the Xixia Kingdom's leader one day, allowing the Xixia Kingdom to mislead the other party to make mistakes in its strategy towards the Song Dynasty. judgment.
Zhao Ji nodded frequently when he heard this. Feeling that his back was much more comfortable, he motioned for Gao Zhang to sit next to him.
"You did an excellent job. First, you used the merchants to make those Xixia people think they could fish and forest from them, and then started planting cotton on a large scale. I heard from my teacher that more than 1.4 million acres were planted last year."
"The news reported from the Imperial City Division is that since last year, the food reserves of the Xixia military divisions have decreased a lot."
"These are all your achievements, Xiao Gao..."
Official Zhao Ji patted the back of Gao Zhang's hand and said happily.
"I finally understand why the art of war is such that those who are good at fighting have no great achievements."
Listening to Master's commendation and praise, Gao Zhang said with humility and shyness that he was still a child and did not consider the problem comprehensively. He would correct his mistakes and strive to do better in the future.
The official Zhao Ji looked at his beloved disciple, wishing he could hold his hand and walk to the civil and military officials of the Manchao, and let the gang of people have their own thoughts, and the ministers and servants who were making small calculations opened their eyes wide.
Let your mantle pass on to others, set an example for those guys, let them understand what it means to be conscientious and courageous in doing things, and what it means to work hard for the country and the people.
Such a young child can still achieve such a place for the imperial court, what about you subordinates?
The more he thought about it, the more angry Zhao Ji felt in his heart, but considering that his beloved disciple was sitting right in front of him, he suppressed his temper that was about to explode.
He continued to chat happily with Gao Zhang.
#####
Gao Zhang calmly took the words handed over by his master and answered them fluently, while he searched among the cases with the corner of his eye.
At this time, Yang Jian brought the tea tray and placed a pot of tea on the table.
Seemingly to make room for the tea tray, I picked up a memorial and didn't know where to put it.
Gao Zhang quickly stood up and took it. He seemed to have made a mistake and dropped the memorial.
When he quickly stood up to pick it up, Gao Zhang suddenly let out a sigh, and immediately looked at Master Zhao Ji who had picked up the teacup and was drinking tea with a surprised look on his face.
Zhao Ji naturally noticed Gao Zhang's strangeness, and his eyes moved down and landed on the memorial in Gao Zhang's hand.
Gao Zhang quickly held the memorial in both hands. "Master, this is an impeachment memorial..."
After official Zhao Ji took it, he glanced at it and frowned in displeasure.
"Oh, let's show it to my teacher, eh...it's actually used to impeach Zhang Qing again."
Gao Zhang on the side couldn't help but murmured curiously.
"Master, this Mr. Zhang, my disciple seems to have heard about his deeds. He seems to be a very successful and important official of the court."
After hearing his beloved disciple's face full of curiosity, official Zhao Ji chuckled.
He patted the cover of this memorial and said.
"This Zhang Lao Aiqing is indeed a rare figure in the imperial court. There are several brothers among them, and they are all talented people."
"Back then, when the emperor Yingzong, who was his disciple, first came to the throne, Zhang Tangying, the brother of Zhang Lao Aiqing, wrote the "Jinshi Shu", citing the historical lessons of the Eastern Han Dynasty's foreign relatives' autocratic power, and suggesting that the emperor be on guard against possible dangers..."
Official Zhao Ji began to tell the story of Zhang Shangying's eldest brother Zhang Tangying.
