The official glanced at Wu Zhizhong and then at Tong Guan, who was looking at him eagerly.
I don't understand in my heart, Tong Guan clearly wants to take credit for his mission.
Credit... went to the Liao Kingdom as an envoy... Zhao Ji, an official, looked straight at Tong Guan, and suddenly his mind flashed to Xiao Gao standing in front of the jade tree facing the wind, calm and graceful.
If he were the emperor of the Liao Kingdom, he would definitely be moved by his beloved disciple's magnanimity and charm, right?
If he were to go on this mission, wouldn't it be equivalent to making new achievements? Now he is a third-grade Hanlin bachelor.
After making great achievements, wouldn't it be easy for him to become the ruler?
At this moment, Wu Zhizhong, Wang Siqing, and Tong Guan all looked nervously at this official who was obviously distracted.
But when they saw the officials' faces showing a proud look of joy, Wu Zhizhong and Na Wang Siqing's expressions suddenly began to look ugly.
And Tong Guan's face already showed expectation. It seemed that the official family was already moved.
But the next moment, the official's words suddenly made Tong Guan's expression freeze on his face.
"I'll have to think about this matter carefully before talking about it."
"The official sage." Wu Zhizhong and the prince of the temple were secretly happy, and they quickly bowed their heads and bowed. "Okay, okay, a faint king will occasionally have a clear head."
Zhao Ji saw the changes in the expressions of Wu Zhizhong and Wang Siqing, and naturally also noticed the expression of Tong Guan.
"Tong Guan, don't forget that I have entrusted you with the important task of preparing for the establishment of the General Staff Council."
"Now, you can put all other things aside first, and prepare the General Staff Council to be completed as soon as possible so that it can play its role, so that you can live up to my expectations for you."
After hearing the official's words, Tong Guan was a little disappointed, but he also understood that he was the envoy of the General Staff Council.
I am afraid that before the affairs of the General Staff Council are completely clarified and settled, there will be no chance to make new achievements.
However, when I think about the fact that the envoy of the General Staff Council is a high-ranking second-rank official, can I bear to do it?
Tong Guan, who couldn't let go of the two envoys of the General Staff Council, could only salute the officials honestly and said that he would do his best to prepare the General Staff Council as soon as possible.

Seeing Wu Zhizhong, a shameless old man, leaning against the futon, he had no intention of getting up. Tong Guan, who had lost the opportunity over there, didn't bother to stay anymore and left.
Wang Siqing originally wanted to complain, but seeing the looks Wu Shangshu sent him frequently, he had no choice but to say goodbye.
After seeing that Wang Siqing had left the sight, the official sighed quietly towards Wu Zhizhong.
"Wu Aiqing, do you know that in the past few days, I really seem to have seen the scene where Xiao Gao splashed ink in front of me for the first time and wrote the Thin Gold Body."
Wu Zhizhong's eyelids jumped when he heard this, and he couldn't help asking curiously.
"Why did the official say this? Could it be that the little champion has done some strange things?"
"Yang Jian, please show Wu Lao Aiqing the five-character quatrain written by me and Xiao Gao that day."
Yang Jian responded respectfully and walked away quickly. After a while, he brought a sandalwood box. After opening it, he took out two pieces of rice paper and placed them on Wu Zhizhong's desk.
"This, this, this..." Wu Zhizhong stared blankly at the two five-character quatrains that were difficult to distinguish both in calligraphy style and handwriting.
The important point is that of the two five-character quatrains, one is signed with the official monogram, and the other is signed with the name of Xiao Gao, the child prodigy and number one scholar.
"This is a masterpiece that the official and the No. 1 Scholar viewed the painting at the same time and started writing at the same time..."
After hearing what Yang Jian said, Wu Zhizhong glanced at the painting hanging in the pavilion, and then at the two calligraphy works in front of him, shaking his head in disbelief.
"This, this is simply impossible, absolutely impossible. How can there be such a strange thing in the world?"
"Yes...if I had not experienced this personally, I would be like you and wonder how there could be such a magical encounter in the world."
The official Zhao Ji, who has thought about it countless times in his heart, finally found a suitable person to confide in.
After he finished the painting that day, he felt something in his heart and prepared to write a poem to match this masterpiece.
It happened that Xiao Gao and his beloved daughter came to look for him, so Zhao Ji asked the official to describe all the magical scenes with him in composing verses for this masterpiece.
Especially when I heard the official description of how he had just finished writing Shangque, he happened to hear his beloved daughter reciting Shangque. When he turned around, he was shocked to realize that what his beloved daughter was reciting was the poem that Xiao Gao had just written.
When Wu Zhizhong heard this, his first reaction was that Hunjun was bragging.
The second reaction is, what's the use of his boasting?
Now, after putting aside the first and second reactions, let's recall the miraculous fact that Gao Zhang was able to master the thin golden body in one night.
Finally, Wu Zhizhong, who had been stunned for a long time, came up with the most reliable and practical conclusion.
"It's really a miracle given by heaven..."
#####
The monarch and his ministers also squatted together and sighed as they listened to the official Zhao Ji talk about Xiao Gao's journey of composing this five-character quatrain.
Seeing the numbingly kind look of former official Zhao Ji, Wu Zhizhong really wanted to ask Gao Zhang about this cheeky little guy.
Is this shameless and embarrassing flattery really just what you are thinking?
However, Wu Zhizhong just thought about it. After all, he also wanted to have this extraordinary talent that shocked the world, was willing to revolutionize the old and create new ones in the Great Song Dynasty, and only appeared once in five hundred years.
The closer the relationship with this official is, the better. It is best to be sweet and sweet, to have the same love as father and son, and to make the official believe in Xiao Gaozhang.
Only in this way can officials be willing to take the right path, instead of being led to the wrong path by those treacherous and sycophantic officials.
Just when Wu Zhizhong was thinking wildly, he heard the official speak.
"Just now, dear dear, you talked to me about your mission to the Liao Kingdom. I have been thinking about it here for a long time, and I feel that Xiao Gao is an excellent candidate."
"If he can be sent to Liao as an envoy and return with full success, then I will be able to make him the ruler."
Wu Zhizhong's eyelids jumped wildly when he heard the term "ruling".
He raised his eyes to look at this faint-hearted king who seemed to be taking it for granted, no...it was the wise lord Zhao Ji.
The so-called "governing officer" in the Song Dynasty refers to several extremely important official positions in the Song Dynasty, including the head of the Privy Council, the deputy minister, and the deputy governor. They are all called "consulting officer".
The prime minister and the consul are collectively called "the prime minister", and according to the convention of the Song Dynasty, those who want to become the consul are.
Most of them were promoted from the four positions of Third Secretary, Hanlin Bachelor, Kaifeng Mansion, and Yushi Zhongcheng.
It can be seen that it is the best transitional position to become the head of hundreds of officials below one person and above ten thousand people...
