Chapter 157 The "Thousand-Character Essay" given to Tong Guan, haha... (Fourth update, please subscribe and vote)
"Why did your stepson Tong Zhi Jisheng get into trouble again? Those memorials from the imperial censor are right there."
Official Zhao Ji pointed at the dozen or so impeachment memorials placed aside, and said with a half-smile.
When Tong Guan heard this, he thought of his stepson Tong Zhisheng, whom he saw in his mansion yesterday, proudly showing off his tattoo of "The Analects of Confucius" to him.
On the spot, he was so angry that he, a powerful eunuch who was known as the concubine in the official circle of the Song Dynasty, couldn't do anything about the stupid and arrogant child.
At this moment, all the officials spoke, and Tong Guan immediately fell to the ground in fear.
"Guan family, after my servant heard about this yesterday, I already severely punished that bastard. Please ask Guan family..."
"Okay, I'm not blaming you, let alone your stepson."
Facing this powerful eunuch who had made great achievements in the military field, the official Zhao Ji was still very tolerant.
After all, eunuchs are the royal family's servants. If they can fight and achieve results, it is equivalent to giving the royal family face.
Moreover, this Tong Guan was brought out by Li Xian, the eunuch of the Song Dynasty who was the father of the official Zhao Ji.
And this Li Xian was originally a eunuch during the Shenzong period of the Song Dynasty. He was very good at leading troops in battles, and he had great military exploits.
At that time, Tong Guan had been following Li Xian in his campaigns in the east and west, and in the south and north, and accumulated rich combat experience.
Don't look at Tong Guan's thick eyebrows and angry eyes, he looks like a righteous and rough warrior, but in fact he is also an experienced driver who knows how to figure out the thoughts of officials.
This is also the reason why he, a great eunuch who is twenty-nine years older than the official Zhao Ji, can go through three dynasties and still maintain his favor and honor.
"As a young man, he is frivolous and wanton. He has a tattoo of The Analects of Confucius on his body. This is nothing."
"You have told me that this son has unstoppable courage and is born with supernatural powers. I have been thinking about what official position I should give him."
Having said this, official Zhao Ji's eyes fell on Tong Guan.
Tong Guan's mind flashed back to the stepson's stubborn temper that gave him a headache, and he lowered his head humbly again.
"My slave, I'm very grateful to the officials for being so kind to me. It's just that that bastard is undecided and has a loose temper..."
Yang Jian on the side has been silently observing everything in front of him. To be honest, Yang Jian is also quite envious of this Tong Guan.
He was able to command thousands of troops and make great achievements with the remains of an eunuch, not to mention that he was a slave of the emperor, so he acted with far less fear than those officials.
Moreover, his frequent achievements in meritorious service also made the officials look upon him with special regard. It can be said that Tong Guanzi was the most special eunuch around the officials.
Although Tong Guan thought that his children still needed a good education and were not suitable for officialdom for the time being, the officials did not feel dissatisfied.
Instead, he picked up the "Thousand-Character Essay" placed on the desk, looked at it with satisfaction, and then handed it to Tong Guandao.
"A few days ago, you came to me to ask for calligraphy stickers. It's a pity that during that time, I was too busy and didn't have much thought."
"You came at the right time today. There happens to be a piece of "The Thousand Character Essay" written here..."
Seeing the "Thousand Character Essay" written in a skillful and experienced thin gold calligraphy handed to him, Tong Guan couldn't help but be overjoyed and fell to the ground once again.
"My slave, I would like to thank the official. It is difficult for the official to remember my wish after such a long time."
After Tong Guan happily held the copy of "The Thousand Character Essay" and left with a lot of gratitude, Yang Jian looked at Tong Guan's burly figure, which was a head taller than his own, and raised the corners of his mouth covertly.
That "Thousand Character Essay", haha... Although it was indeed written in thin gold style, the author was not an official, but Gao Zhang, the official's beloved disciple.
This made Yang Jian couldn't help but suck in his breath like a toothache. The official's operation was really...
I don't know whether it was because his beloved disciple Gao Zhang was more valued by him in his eyes, so he did this. Or it was because he was too lazy and unwilling to write another article by himself.

The East Building of Fan Tower seems to be extremely busy today. Even though it is still early, it is not yet dinner time.
But at this moment, there are a large number of craftsmen on the first floor of the east building who are finishing the stage as quickly as possible.
The east building of Fan Building has been closed for renovation these days, which naturally aroused the curiosity of guests who often go to Fan Building to spend money.
But all they got was the same answer, that is, the number one oiran girl in Song Dynasty Goulan will perform a brand new show here.
This naturally aroused the curiosity of countless guests. Unfortunately, the East Building of Fan Tower is the largest among the four buildings of Fan Tower.
But the number of guests it can accommodate is only one to two hundred, and only those who can get invitations to the premiere of the show.
Almost all of them are those VIPs from Fan Lou who have spent a lot of money, or they are talented people who are very proud, or they are high-ranking officials.
Moreover, this Fan Building has several special private rooms on the second floor.
These private rooms are extremely private. There are special passages for entry and exit. As for the purpose, it is self-evident.
One of the most private ones was naturally reserved for the Emperor of the Song Dynasty, Zhao Ji, who incarnated as Zhao Guanren.

Gao Zhang, who was only eleven years old, was looking at the layout of the east building and everything here with a straight face at the moment.
The scenery, lighting, and various arrangements were all in accordance with his requirements.
And Aunt Li, the old madam who was over forty but still had her charm, was whispering something to Miss Shishi.
From time to time, his eyes glanced at Gao Zhang, the world-famous prodigy. Gao Zhang didn't know what they were talking about. Anyway, what they talked about was not important. What was important was that the following song and dance drama must not go wrong.
After confirming that everything was OK, Gao Zhang raised his arm and greeted loudly.
"Okay, little sister, everything has been arranged. Let's start the final rehearsal now."
Hearing Gao Zhang's greeting, Miss Shishi nodded towards the Madam and hurriedly appeared...
Soon, the sound of music started playing in Dongmeng. At this moment, everyone held their breath and calmed down to watch this unprecedented performance...
The official Zhao Ji finally got off the carriage, but at this moment, in order to hide from others, his carriage stopped at a side entrance of Fan Tower.
When he raised his eyes, he saw Gao Zhang already waiting here, and he couldn't help but feel warm in his heart.
"How did you come?"
"The master is here at the invitation of the disciples. How can the disciples not greet the master respectfully?"
"I also invite Master to come with me. I have already renovated a private room specially for Master on the second floor of the east building of Fan Tower."
"It not only allows Master to see and hear clearly, but also ensures sufficient privacy."
"Even the passage leading to that private room cannot be entered by others by mistake..."
