Looking at Wu Zhizhong's old face with chrysanthemum patterns, Gao Zhang almost laughed out loud.
Considering that this old driver is almost eighty years old, do you really think that your kidneys are so good that countless people in the world will envy you?
Besides, Mr. Wu, you look like that, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and you still have a face that is not angry and self-defeating.
If you have it on a boy, everyone will praise you for your square appearance.
If this is a girl, tsk tsk tsk... that image will definitely make your eyes dazzle. She actually wants to take advantage of me and call you my father-in-law, haha...
Although he was complaining in his heart, Gao Zhang had a smile on his face and spoke very beautifully.
"I'm really flattered that I can win Mr. Wu's love. With Mr. Wu's upright character, he must have a strict family tradition. If I can get a daughter of the right age to be a good match for Mr. Wu..."
Gao Zhang was full of compliments, so naturally he praised Wu Zhizhong so much that he smiled brightly at first.
But then he felt uncomfortable. What did this boy mean by asking him, who was already nearly 60 years old, to continue working hard to have another daughter?
Work hard, even if I have the heart, I don't have the strength, okay? Besides, I have been busy taking care of the affairs of the country all my life.
There is no spare time, like some shameless things, taking concubines and giving birth to babies every once in a while.
If it weren't for the fact that this boy's expression was sincere and his eyes were clear and full of expectation, Wu Zhizhong would have doubted whether this boy was provoking him.
The official on the side almost laughed out loud and wanted to scold Xiao Gao for being naughty. How could you be such a fool?
But after the words came to his lips, his eyes lit up.
"Xiao Gao, if Mr. Wu Aiqing has a daughter of the right age, are you really able to marry her?"
After hearing what his master said, Gao Zhang nodded obediently.
"Of course, the disciple and Mr. Wu can be regarded as close friends. It is precisely because he admires Mr. Wu that he is so targeted, right Mr. Wu?"
Gao Zhang's very serious answers, and Hunjun's less serious questions.
Wu Zhizhong's face turned dark. What do you mean by this foolish king? Are you planning to give me some good medicine that will strengthen the muscles and bones and replenish the waist and kidneys?
He quickly interrupted the cooperation between the unscrupulous master and apprentice and talked about the mission to the Liao Kingdom.
Gao Zhang naturally had no objection, but he was a little depressed because he had to leave his hometown again not long after returning to Bianliang, Tokyo from the south of the Yangtze River.
However, when he heard his master asking him whether he would consider bringing Cai and Tong with him, Gao Zhang naturally nodded in agreement without hesitation.
With a professional scapegoat here, I can feel more secure when I go to the Liao Kingdom.
When he heard that he was only the deputy envoy, Gao Zhang had no objection at all. The deputy envoy was very good. As a principal envoy, he had to deal with the officials of the Liao Kingdom all day long.
And my purpose is not to quarrel with the officials of the Liao Kingdom, but to take a look at the various situations in the sixteen Youyan states.
In case the Liao Kingdom is really worse than the Song Dynasty, we can wait until later to deal with Xixia and solve the worries of the Song Dynasty.
Fang Hao devoted himself to figuring out what means to use to take back the Sixteenth Province of Youyan.

"Zheng Juzhong was recommended by me, my dear nephew, do you know why?"
The two of them were walking side by side towards the outside of the palace. At this time, Wu Zhizhong finally regained his serious demeanor of a kind and kind elder.
Gao Zhang on the side shook his head in confusion. He had just returned from Jiangnan not long ago, and he was too busy with serious matters one after another.
What's more, there were a lot of high-ranking officials in the Song Dynasty, and this Zheng had never dealt with him, so how could he know who Zheng Juzhong was.
"This Zheng Juzhong is the elder brother of Concubine Zheng. In the past, he used his money to retaliate against Prime Minister Cai Jing..."
"Unexpectedly, after Cai Jing returned to the prime minister, he pursued Wang Gui's affairs, and Zheng Juzhong was Wang Gui's son-in-law. From then on, he and Cai Jing became enemies."
After hearing Wu Zhizhong's words, Gao Zhang couldn't help but shake his head. Sure enough, in political struggles, there is no eternal friendship, only eternal interests.
It's just that Cai Jing is such a bad guy. Others are trying their best to help you, but as a result, other people's father-in-law has been having sex for many years, and you still go to criticize and punish him.
This is not a special case of revenge. Such behavior, no wonder Cai Jing will have many enemies even though his gang members are all over the court.
After all, the officials asked Zheng Juzhong to preside over the work of the Privy Council, and they might have the idea of containing Cai Jing.
After all, the Privy Council is an important institution for civilian officials to be responsible for military affairs. Cai Jing has many party members in the court, so naturally he cannot be allowed to interfere with military and political power.
Therefore, his father, Taiwei Gao, is in charge of the three yamen offices, while Zheng Juzhong, a relative, is in charge of the Privy Council. The master's arrangement can be considered quite satisfactory.
"In addition, this time you are on a mission to the Liao Kingdom, you put your own safety first. As long as this mission can return with full success, your master will entrust you with important tasks again."
Speaking of this, Wu Zhizhong couldn't help but subconsciously pull his fingers. Gao Zhang became an official at the age of eleven and has only been in office for three years. If he had waited until he returned from the Liao Kingdom, he would have become the ruler.
A fourteen-year-old consul may have achieved such an unprecedented achievement.
It will definitely shock the world more than the Twelve Prime Ministers of Gan and Luo during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.
After all, at the time of Gan Luo, the world had not yet been unified, but Xiao Gao was in power in the Song Dynasty, which was ten times as powerful as Qin.
Now, the only thing Wu Zhizhong is curious about is how many years will it take for this kid to become prime minister?
It seems that I, who will soon be eighty years old, may actually live to see this miracle.

Gao Zhang's carriage has already entered the alley where his house is located, and the Gao family members at the door have begun to smile.
As a result, he saw Fu'an smiling evilly at him and raising his hand. The Gao family member put away his formulaic smile with a dull look on his face.
Yes, it seems that the young master is going to take a stroll to that Fang Mansion again.
Gao Zhang got off the carriage and went straight in. He was familiar with the road and walked directly in. Not far away, he heard the sound of weapons clashing from inside.
Soon, I saw Fang Hao and Zhao Zhongtong, each holding a sharp sharp blade, fighting each other happily.
Next to her was Fang Baihua, the tall and curvy young lady with long legs.
At this moment, she was holding a long spear in her hand, and her eyes were fixed on the two people fighting in the battle.
That charming and pretty face looked quite heroic at the moment, especially the slender waist that was full of strength yet still slim, and the long, round yet straight legs.
As expected of a girl from the sports department, she has this sassy and dashing temperament, coupled with that wonderful figure.
If paired with a good horse, tsk tsk tsk... an excellent female knight is indeed the favorite of men.
Gao Zhang slapped his face and mouth, and stood there, continuing to admire the aggressive female teacher Yu Jie guiding the two little kids to practice their fighting skills.
