Just when Gao Zhang and others were heading south, they were still more than ten days away from Bianliang, Tokyo.
Another piece of news was received that shocked everyone. Wu Zhizhong, the Minister of Rites, urged the officials to withdraw the order for Emperor Maode to become a monk.
He even had a fierce dispute with the official Zhao Ji in the court, which caused an uproar among the ministers.
But that wasn't the end yet. After Wu Zhizhong saw that his remonstrance was useless, he immediately made a move that blinded everyone.
He went directly to Lingyin Temple and persuaded Princess Maode, who had already become a monk and planned to be with the Ancient Buddha of Qingdeng for the rest of her life.
After that, she went to the Kaifeng County Government Office to go through the official procedures for accepting Emperor Maode as her adopted daughter.
"Isn't this too much... The officials didn't dismiss him from office?"
Cai Laoliu was shocked. He didn't expect that there was such an operation in this world.
The point is that the ignorant emperor didn't react at all, and even suppressed the memorials that impeached Wu Zhizhong and undermined the royal dignity.
"What's wrong with this? Officials are not happy to have girls. So Wu Zhizhong is short of girls. Isn't that just right?"
As soon as Tong Zhisheng's comment came out, everyone looked at this overly simple-minded colleague with strange eyes.
Gao Zhang, who was also puzzled, suddenly tilted his mouth.
"Brother Zhisheng's words make sense. Since the officials are not embarrassing Wu Shangshu about this matter, why should we worry about it?"
Why don't you just give some gifts to this nearly 80-year-old man later and congratulate him on his daughter?
No matter what, this old guy Wu Zhizhong is not a kind person. If he offends this old guy, he might plot against him, which is not worth it.
But it is really possible to visit him at home and ask him how the beautiful and smart little girl with whom he has a pretty good relationship and whom he has a good rapport with offended his biological father.
Of course, it also depends on the attitude of the master and what is going on.
If it was just the conflict and friction between father and daughter, haha... Gao Zhang felt that when he used his methods to make the father and daughter recognize each other again, he would definitely gain a wave of favorability in front of his master.
The spiritual food of goodwill must be refreshed frequently and kept in a locked state, so that when one day he is in power, his master can still trust him and remain true to his original intention.

After a period of time, the people of Bianliang who had nothing to do and just wanted to watch the excitement finally stopped squatting outside the Wu Mansion and dispersed one after another.
An unpretentious carriage, surrounded by a group of guards, quietly appeared outside the side gate of Wu Mansion.
After Yang Jian, who was disguised as a butler, confirmed that no one was around, he sent someone to knock on the door. In a short time, the officials entered the Wu Mansion through this door.
When the father and daughter met, they were also very sad. Zhao Ji, an official, hugged his beloved daughter with red eyes and felt very distressed.
However, when Xiao Gao was mentioned, his daughter's shy look immediately turned red and stained her cheeks, which made official Zhao Ji feel that his efforts were worth it.
When I think of Xiao Gao, who is currently slowly returning to Beijing with the mission, when he returns to Bianliang, Tokyo, he will be forced by Wu Zhizhong to fulfill the bet, and his master will also become an accomplice.
I really look forward to what kind of expression and mood Xiao Gao will have. Thinking of this, the official Zhao Ji couldn't help but reveal a proud smile.
Seeing his father's loving and warm smile, Fu Jin felt sweet in his heart, feeling that his father still loved him very much.
To be willing to go to such great lengths to marry the person of his dreams, and the twists and turns involved, is really hard work for my dear father who has always been reluctant to waste his energy on anything other than art.
But just now her biological father mentioned that little lady Fang, which naturally aroused her curiosity and competitiveness.
What kind of woman is it that can make brother Xiao Gao willing to make a promise with her?
The little lady, who felt her biological father's kind paternal love, had already begun to think of finding a way to meet the little lady Fang.

"My dear lady, this is Captain Gao's residence, and this is the Fang Mansion..."
Outside the carriage, a guard quietly introduced Wu Fujin, who had lifted the curtain of the carriage and was looking out curiously.
After receiving Wu Fujin's instruction, the carriage continued to move forward and then slowly stopped in front of the Fang Mansion.
Not long after, someone from the Fang Mansion opened the courtyard door and looked at these strange visitors curiously.
When he heard that it was the daughter of Wu Zhizhong, the Minister of Rites, who came to see his wife, the servant naturally dared to neglect her.
Quickly invite this person to enter the mansion, and then call someone to invite Mrs. Fang to come over.
In the study room, the tall and slim Fang Baihua was wiping a heavy sword with mottled cloud patterns and a cold light on the edge.
This is the treasured sword that Xiaolangjun got for himself from the Han and Tang metal workshops before he said goodbye. It can be said that blowing and cutting hair is as easy as the palm of your hand.
In front of them, Fang Hao and Zhao Zhongtong were conscientiously practicing calligraphy.
A steward quickly came outside and saluted Fang Baihua.
"Madam, a young lady has come to the house. She is said to be the daughter of Wu Zhizhong, the Minister of Li Dynasty. She is here to visit you."
As soon as he finished speaking, Fang Hao's eyes suddenly lit up and he exclaimed.
"Isn't Wu Zhizhong's daughter the concubine of Emperor Maode?"
Zhao Zhongtong on the side corrected him like a rigid old scholar.
"She is no longer an imperial concubine. This is news from the imperial court. She can only be regarded as a daughter of an official."
"She came to see me?" Fang Baihua was also confused. She didn't know Wu Shangshu at all.
But now, the protagonist who set off a frenzy of gossip traffic in Bianliang, Tokyo some time ago, actually came to visit me. What could be the reason for this?
For the first time, Fang Baihua's mind flashed through the handsome and elegant faces of Xiaolang Qun and Gao Zhang.
The next moment, he recalled the somewhat puzzling words of the official's confidant Yang Jian when he came to confer a title on himself. Could it be...
No, no, no, this is too bizarre, right? But what if?
"The visitor is a visitor. Since he is here to find me, I will go and see you. You two, continue practicing your calligraphy. When I come back and you haven't finished practicing, you will be punished with one more chapter."
After hearing this ruthless order, Fang Hao and Zhao Zhongyong looked like they would rather die than die. They almost wanted to collapse on the floor and pretend to be salted fish and finish it off.
Fang Baihua walked out for a few steps, then suddenly turned around and walked back, frightening the two paralyzed babies to sit upright.
Then he saw Fang Baihua walking straight inward, then raising his hand and taking out a small but very sophisticated compound bow from the wall.
"Aunt, what are you doing with my bow?" Fang Hao asked curiously, looking at his aunt's actions in confusion.
"Give it to someone, and I'll give it to you later."
"???"
