"Release..."
Liang Shicheng murmured the word repeatedly, and a chill suddenly rose in his heart.
Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at Yang Jian, who had a strange expression on his face.
It's certain, it must be this guy. After all, he feels that staying with the official family is a disaster, but for the sake of being honest and respectful, he has to be honest and respectful.
He didn't put himself to death, but kicked himself to the ground, and now he's figuring it out.
Tan Zhen has been working in Hangzhou Shipping Department for several years now and has outstanding political achievements. It must be that the official family intends to transfer him back to Bianliang, Tokyo to get promoted and make a fortune. As for himself, haha...
After official Zhao Ji said this, he didn't receive a response for a long time. When he tilted his head, he saw Liang Shicheng's lifeless face and frowned displeased.
"I'm asking you."
Liang Shicheng, who was frightened by the low shout, quickly fell to the ground.
"Wherever the officials want the slaves to go, the slaves will naturally go."
"Well, in that case, when you turn around, you will go to Shaanxi Road to serve as a supervisor, and cooperate with Shaanxi Road's strategy to appease the deputy envoy Xiao Gao Aiqing."
"..."
Seeing Liang Shicheng walking toward the imperial study room in a daze, Zhao Ji, an official whose bad taste was satisfied, considered asking Liang Shicheng to cooperate with Xiao Gao's work this time.
Instead of letting him create a gap in his heart, if he causes trouble with his beloved disciple Xiao Gao and ruins the plan he and Xiao Gao made to regain the old land of the Song Dynasty, that would be a big deal.
The official's fingers began to tap lightly on the table, and soon he showed a strange smile.
"Please call Liang Shicheng back, I still have something to do..."
"My slave, take your orders." Yang Jian looked at the official with a strange smile in confusion, and subconsciously turned around and walked quickly towards the imperial study room.
Liang Shicheng, who was walking staggeringly out of the desolation and loneliness, heard the greeting from the distance.
As soon as he turned his head, he saw Yang Jian coming quickly.
"The official family has a destiny, and I still have something to see you for. Come with us quickly."
Liang Shicheng turned around and quickly reached out to grab Yang Jian, trying to find out the news with a smile on his face.
"Yang Da, could it be that the supervisor next to Zheng Juzhong, the commander of the Shaanxi Road Economic Strategy, is that boy watching?"
"That's not true. Tong Wenwen still has to stay in the court and preside over the affairs of the General Staff Council."
"Yang Da, after all, we have known each other for many years. Since we only send one to oversee the army, why do we have to go to the top scholar to supervise the army?"
"Please ask Yang Da to clear up some of our doubts."
Looking at Liang Shicheng's pitiful appearance, completely without the reserve and arrogance he had before he was caught, this made Yang Jian secretly feel relieved.
"We can't guess the official's intentions, but if the official calls you back, I think it must be related to this matter."
#####
After hearing this, Liang Shicheng, who was dubious, quickly entered the imperial study room and saw the official standing at the desk, picking something.
Liang Shicheng stood obediently in the house, waiting for Guan Jia to be busy. After a while, Guan Jia seemed to have found what he needed.
Then he copied it in his hand and walked towards this side unsteadily.
"You have worked hard on Slim Golden Body over the past few years, and it has been quite effective. But in the end, no one has given you any guidance. Although the calligraphy style is similar, it is not up to standard."
Liang Shicheng looked at the official family in astonishment. His original expression of disbelief soon turned into an expression of undisguised ecstasy.
This, this... The official is planning to personally teach him the Thin Gold Body. Doesn't that mean that he can inherit the mantle of the official's calligraphy and become the official's true confidant?
At that moment, Liang Shicheng's face flushed with excitement, and he almost couldn't control himself from laughing wildly.
Then he saw the official handing him a piece of rice paper. On it was an allusion about Zigong's marriage in a house. The beautiful thin gold body on it stood out.
Liang Shicheng fell to the ground without hesitation and respectfully raised his hands to catch it.
"... Do you know that the "Thousand-Character Essay" that you have been practicing for several years is exactly what my beloved disciple originally practiced."
After hearing the official's words, Liang Shicheng's face gradually stiffened with ecstasy.
"Guan Jia, your beloved disciple?..."
"Gao Zhang won the first prize at the age of eleven and was able to end the Zhu family's rebellion in Jiangnan with one horse. He is the only successor to my talent and art."
"..." Liang Shicheng looked at the proud official in front of him, and then looked at Yang Jian who had a strange expression on the side.
It felt like I saw someone showing off their affection in front of me, and viciously filling my mouth with dog food.
No wonder Xiao Gao could enter and leave the palace without any problems. No wonder Xiao Gao could become the second official of the Privy Council in just a few years.
Before, I just thought that Xiao Gaoxu was good-looking and talented, and had won the favor of officials. He might become a powerful minister like Cai Jing.
As a result, I am afraid that Cai Jingdu will not be as lucky as the little Gao No. 1 Scholar.
"I have kept it secret all this time because I was worried that the DPRK and China would criticize it and ruin Xiao Gao's reputation."
"Now, I want to send you to follow Xiao Gao to the northwest. I have made it clear in order to let you know that although you and Xiao Gao have no master-disciple status, they are actually master-disciple.
After all, all the calligraphy you have learned were written by Xiao Gao..."
#####
Liang Shicheng walked out of the imperial study room in confusion.
I originally thought that when the officials saw that I had been practicing hard for several years and achieved great results, they would realize their conscience and accept me as their most trusted person.
It turns out that the one who stepped on the horse was the legendary prodigy who was the number one scholar several years ago. He had already been flirting with the official family and had a close relationship between master and disciple.
But he was still kept in the dark, practicing the Slim Golden Body conscientiously and painstakingly.
When the truth was revealed, a strong sadness that his sincerity had finally been wronged made Liang Shicheng have the urge to pick up his belt and find a tree with a crooked neck to end his remaining life.
Liang Shicheng finally understood why the official family paid so much attention to the land south of the Yangtze River in the past two years.
He was obviously paying attention to the successor of his mantle, fearing that something would happen to that boy, so he made various operations.
"How about it, do you understand the officials' hard work?"
Seeing that Liang Shicheng was obviously in a daze, Yang Jian looked at this guy with a sense of superiority after sending Liang Shicheng out of the imperial study.
"Although you can only be regarded as an unknown disciple of Xiao Gao Zhuangyuan, you must understand that the reason why the official told you was to give you this allusion to Gong Jie Lu."
"I just hope you can understand and don't go against the wishes of Xiao Gao No. 1 Scholar, otherwise, even if Xiao Gao No. 1 Scholar has the magnanimity of the prime minister. Haha, our family doesn't have that..."
As soon as these words came out, Liang Shicheng looked at Yang Jian with horror and emotion. This guy actually made friends with foreign officials...
