Anyway, he is the deputy envoy and has the power to make decisions. It is up to this kid to deal with it. How much does it have to do with him whether it is good or bad?
Faced with the chattering of this old official, Gao Zhang couldn't understand what this old turtle was thinking. Even so, Gao Zhang knew how to respect the old and love the young when speaking.
"Since the boss has so much trust in the official, how can he not obey his orders?"
"It's just that Sir, do you have any regulations here? I can only act carefully when I go back to the official position."
"I really don't know whether what Ma Zhi said is true or not, so I can't make up my mind about this matter, so I ask my nephew to act according to the situation."
"When the time comes, I will definitely advance and retreat together with my nephew."
I saw Zheng Juzhong acting like he was playing tricks on his old age and determined to be a salted fish.
What else could Gao Zhang say? Say hello.
#####
Not long after, Zhao Yaban, Yao Pingzhong, and even others came over.
However, the pair of sleeping dragons and phoenix chicks and the old scholar Zhou Bangyan entered the city together with Xiao Sixian yesterday and have not returned yet.
The three of them headed straight towards the city of Changchun, wandering around the city of Changchun as usual.
Since these days, it has become normal for Gao Zhang, the deputy envoy of the Song Dynasty, to come and go from Changchun Prefecture.
The defenders of Changchun Prefecture City had long known that the deputy envoy of the Song Dynasty was a close friend of the country's powerful minister, Prince Lanling, and naturally they did not dare to provoke him.
After wandering into Changchun City, he wandered around for a while. It was not until dusk that he found the restaurant he had made an appointment with Ma Zhi and went straight up the stairs.
When they arrived on the second floor, they saw a middle-aged man in his forties standing outside a private room, looking down anxiously.
The middle-aged man couldn't help but be startled when he saw that it was Gao Zhang, the deputy envoy who had long been known to the powerful people of the Liao Kingdom.
Gao Zhang stepped forward quickly and saluted the man.
"I dare to ask, but in person to Ma Guanglu?"
In the elegant room, Gao Zhang and Ma Zhi sat across from each other, while Zhao Abban and Yao Pingzhong sat aside.
From the corner of his eyes, he glanced at these two people from time to time, looking at the two people who were whispering in a deep voice.
"Deputy Ambassador Gao, I remember that you and the Prince of Lanling County of our country are brothers with different surnames."
Facing Ma Zhi's meaningful question, Gao Zhang chuckled, looked directly at Ma Zhi and said.
"Ma Guanglu must not forget that the Song Dynasty and the Liao Kingdom are still brothers..."
This sentence made Ma Zhi secretly relieved. He was a bachelor and asked directly.
"In this case, Deputy Ambassador Gao must also know what Ma and Ambassador Zheng discussed?"
Gao Zhang nodded matter-of-factly.
"This is natural. Otherwise, Gao would not be here today to deal with Ma Guanglu."
"It's just that Gao is worried that there are some omissions in what Privy Zheng said, and he also asked Ma Guanglu to tell him directly. What good ideas do you have to help me in the Song Dynasty to regain the land of the sixteen states of Youyan?"
"Deputy Ambassador Gao must also know that Ma is a Han nationality and was born in Yanjing..."
Facing Gao Zhang, Ma Zhi no longer concealed anything and walked out with a tray. The Ma family in Yanjing was considered a wealthy family.
And he, Ma Zhi, can be regarded as an outstanding talent of the Ma family in Yanjing, very talented and capable.
However, as a Han Chinese, he was not very advantageous in the political arena of Liao Kingdom.
Especially now that the political arena of the Liao Kingdom is corrupt, and the power is completely controlled by the Khitan people. Talents like him who are aspiring to the country are the key targets of suppression by the traitors in the court.
Although Guanglu Qing is also a high-ranking official, he is responsible for the royal family's meals and has jurisdiction over the four departments of Taiguan, Yaocang, Liangying, and Zhangmin.
It is equivalent to being the CEO of the Liao Royal Hotel, which naturally makes Ma Zhi very aggrieved.
Especially in the past few years, I have seen too much of Yelu Yanxi's mediocrity and incompetence, as well as the traitors and demons dancing in the court.
Let him have completely lost hope in the Liao Kingdom, and he was still a Han, so he couldn't help but start to have other thoughts. Instead of spending his life in such a muddle, he might as well do something serious.
For example, the sixteen Youyan states were originally areas under the rule of the Han people in the Central Plains country.
But later, the Liao people took advantage of the chaos in the Central Plains and occupied it.
As a result, Ma Zhi regained his energy and began to consider from the perspective of the Song Dynasty what to do so that the Song Dynasty, dominated by the Han people, could bring the sixteen states of Youyan back under its rule.
Facing Gao Zhang, Ma Zhi directly made a detailed analysis of the conflicts between the Liao Kingdom and the Nüzhi tribes, and told Gao Zhang that due to the corruption of Liao officials in recent years, the high-level officials were extravagant and wasteful.
He constantly demanded tribute from the tribes that surrendered to the Liao Kingdom. Anyone who dared to resist would immediately dispatch troops and horses to suppress them with cruel methods.
This had long aroused the unforgettable hatred of the Nüzhi tribes towards the Liao people. Now, the Liao emperor is dissolute, immoral and incompetent.
And the power fell behind the powerful ministers. As for the powerful minister Xiao Fengxian, he was also not a good bird.
"...So, according to Ma, now the Nüzhi tribes hate the Liao people with all their heart.
Moreover, there are rumors that the Wanyan tribe was attacked north of Changchun Prefecture, which may have something to do with the jealous Lanling County Prince. "
"If the Song Dynasty wanted to regain the land of Youyan, it could secretly send envoys to cross the sea from the land of Deng and Lai, secretly form alliances with the Nuzhi tribes, and make an appointment with them to attack the Liao. In this way, the country can be conquered..."

At this moment, the private room was completely silent, with only the sounds of people breathing and the occasional sipping of tea.
After hearing Ma Zhi's words, both Zhao Abban and Yao Pingzhong's breathing suddenly became heavy.
But they all noticed that after listening to Ma Zhi's words, the resourceful prodigy Gao Zhang first praised Ma Guanglu for his unique vision and strategic talent.
After that, he fell into deep thought, tapping his fingers on the table unconsciously, without giving his attitude immediately.
Ma Zhi, on the other hand, showed no signs of panic at all, drinking flower water quietly on the side while looking at Gao Zhang carefully.
The other party did not show signs of joy and anger at the first moment, but calmly fell into the long test, which finally made Ma Zhi feel uncomfortable.
But at the same time, he couldn't help but look at this young Gao Zhang with admiration. He was probably not even as old as his own son.
Whenever big things happen, you must remain calm. This is what a talented person with both courage and courage should look like.
When we first met, Zheng Juzhong was not there, which made Ma Zhi a little disappointed. Just when you couldn't come to talk to me, you sent a deputy over. What do you want to do, perfunctory me?
However, the other party's subsequent calm response to his doubts and accusations made Ma Zhi take a high look at the young champion.
But now, after pondering for a long time, Gao Zhang's eyes fell on Ma Zhi.
"I wonder what Ma Guanglu wants to get?"
The third update is still being processed, please be patient. I will check it out tomorrow morning.
