Chapter 122 Let’s see how the official family arranges this prodigy champion (please subscribe for the fourth update)
The day of the Qionglin Banquet finally arrived, and all the newly promoted Jinshis appeared at the place where the Ministry of Rites specially held the Qionglin Banquet: Qionglin Garden.
Therefore, this grand Jinshi banquet was named Qionglin Banquet because of the place.
The Qionglin Garden was first built during the reign of Song Taizu, the founding emperor of the Song Dynasty, but it was not completed until the late Master Zhao Ji came to power.
More than a hundred years of architectural history, just to build a royal garden, is enough to see where the root of the Song Dynasty's decadent style came from.
The location of Qionglin Garden is south of Xinzhengmen Outer Main Road on the west wall of Tokyo's outer city, corresponding to Jinming Pool to the north.
In addition to pavilions, ponds, bridges and boats, Qionglin Garden also features trees and southern flowers and plants.
It is a garden with plants as the main body. People in Tokyo call it "West Green Castle".
There is a court in the garden to the south of the Shooting Hall, which is one of the main places for people in the Song Dynasty who like to play ball to play ball games.
At this moment, those new scholars were strolling in small groups in this beautiful royal garden.
A group of officials from the Ministry of Rites also rushed over early to direct the officials to arrange the triennial Qionglin Feast.
At this moment, Wu Zhizhong, the Minister of Rites, was strolling and chatting side by side in Qionglin Garden with the second-in-command Chen Shilang.
"I didn't expect that our champion is also a righteous man who hates evil as much as he hates it."
"Being able to bravely stand up and redress the grievances of the people truly deserves the respect that you and I place on him."
Wu Zhizhong stroked his long beard and spoke slowly with relaxed brows. Unexpectedly, this child prodigy and number one scholar would cause such a big event in Tokyo just after he went on a street tour.
"My official also heard that the Kaifeng Mansion's head catcher worked in cahoots with those market scoundrels and committed many evil deeds."
"Yesterday's arrester was already imprisoned as an accomplice of that scoundrel Niu Er, but many people applauded him."
"There are even many businessmen who have been extorted and blackmailed by the head catcher and Niu Er, and they have also gone to Kaifeng Mansion to submit their petitions."
"In addition, the official Wu Tui was also impeached by the censor. I'm afraid he won't be able to stay in that position."
"The whole Kaifeng Mansion is very lively..."
Wu Shangshu couldn't help but groaned when he heard this.
"How could I not know about those guys in Kaifeng Mansion? If Gao Guizhang, the newly promoted No. 1 Duke, had not come forward, this matter would not have been settled so easily."
Chen Shilang nodded with deep understanding.
"Yeah, fortunately, now, the eyes of the government and the public are all fixed on his Kaifeng Mansion, and they can't help but operate in secret."
"Nowadays, when the common people all over Tokyo hear the name of this champion, they can't help but raise their thumbs and say hello."
Wu Shangshu nodded, but there was a hint of worry on his face.
"This is really a good thing, but I am still a little worried."
Facing Chen Shilang's doubtful gaze, Wu Shangshu spoke in a deep voice.
"Don't you think that our official family is very fond of this child prodigy and personally gave him the title of Guizhang? I'm afraid that next..."
"Isn't this a good thing?"
"You only know one thing but not the other. It is a good thing that officials value him, but it is also a bad thing."
"I'm worried that this young Gao Guizhang is so proud and favored by such a wanton king that he may easily make mistakes."
"At that time, if he does evil, he will probably do as much harm to the court and the people of the world as the ruler of the dynasty."
After hearing this analysis from his scheming superior, Chen Shilang couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.
As an official, Cai Jing went through many ups and downs, and he was only able to hold the power of prime minister when he was nearly 60 years old.
And Gao Zhang was only eleven years old when he passed the imperial examination, and now Hunjun is still very young.
If this pair of monarchs and ministers, both of whom were quite accomplished in thin gold bodies, worked together, I really don’t know what the Song Dynasty would have become like.
"...Isn't this a bit too unfounded? After all, although Gao Guizhang is extremely talented, he is still a child after all."
"It is precisely because he is still young that I don't want to see him take the wrong path."
"Well, let's take a look first. After the Qionglin Banquet, we will be conferring officials. Let's see how our official family will arrange for this prodigy champion..."
#####
Gao Zhang was walking side by side with Cai Laoliu in Qionglin Garden at this moment. At this moment, they had already detoured out of the garden scenery.
We walked to the huge open space dedicated to the entertainment of the people in Bianliang, Tokyo who love all kinds of sports and entertainment activities and like to play ball.
"Senior brother, I heard from my father that in the Kaifeng Mansion, not only the arrester Wu is listed as an accomplice of Niu Er, but also the official Wu is afraid that something will happen to him."
"Well, I heard about it too." Gao Zhang said casually. His biological father had already informed him about this matter yesterday.
Although I don’t know which big boss took the action, it probably wasn’t my biological father Gao Qiu.
After all, Kaifeng Mansion is a very important position, and I don’t know how many famous officials came from Kaifeng Mansion.
Even the later legend Bao Longtu also did a lot of great things in Kaifeng Mansion.
It is entirely the domain of civil servants. It is really difficult for someone like my father to influence the promotion officials of Kaifeng Mansion.
Gao Zhang had some doubts that it was his master who was a coward who ordered others to do it, but he had no evidence.
"You just heard that, does it really have nothing to do with you, senior brother?"
Cai Laoliu squinted his eyes at this ruthless senior brother. He always felt that something was wrong when Gao Zhang let Captain Wu off in an understatement that day.
Sure enough, within two days, Capt. Wu was beaten into an accomplice and imprisoned. Even Wu Tuiguan, who was sitting in the hall that day, was afraid that he would lose his position.
If this had nothing to do with the ruthless senior brother Gao Zhang, Cai Laoliu would dare to take off his own head and use it as a urinal.
Seeing Cai Laoliu's expression that it would be strange if I believe you, Gao Zhang spread his hands rather ruthlessly.
"Please don't look at me with that strange look, can you? Besides, those people are just bringing their own fault."
"Perhaps someone has already wanted to deal with them, and this is just the opportunity to have an attack."
Looking at Gao Zhang in front of him, Cai Laoliu felt that the other party's words were vague and his eyes were flickering, and he suddenly understood in his heart.
However, he continued to act stupid on the surface, pretending to be confident and trusting the other party.
Gao Zhang saw Cai Laoliu's look and knew that this guy had fallen into the trap, and he couldn't help but feel happy.
You guess I have a backing, so I will make you think that I really have a backing, but I have to pretend that I don’t have a backing.
For no other reason than Cai Laoliu, a silly junior fellow student, he would ask me such a targeted question.
Gao Zhang could point to his hair and swear to heaven, it would be strange if there was no instigation from the traitorous prime minister.
As for the traitor, he must be just curious. After all, he is still just a child. No matter what, he cannot threaten him, the great traitor of the Song Dynasty.
