Chapter 174 I didn’t expect that the official family could be so sinister and despicable... (Second update)
Gao Zhang laughed happily, with an expression as if he had pearls of wisdom in his hands.
"It doesn't matter, since I am your senior brother, I am confident that I can communicate with your father in depth.
Convince him and let him let go with satisfaction and let you follow your senior brother to do things."
"You, go talk to my father?" Cai Laoliu immediately bulged his eyes and poked his nose with his finger.
"Why, can't you?" Gao Zhang smiled confidently and calmly.
"But before that, we still go to see Brother Zhisheng's father, the Tong Zhongguan with outstanding military exploits."
Tong Zhisheng was a little confused. He glanced disdainfully at Cai Laoliu, who was as afraid of his father as a mouse is when it sees a cat. He raised his neck and said confidently.
"What are you doing with my dad? Even if my dad doesn't agree, so what?"
"Of course I know that Brother Zhisheng has the ambition to not be afraid of hardships and dangers, but I think Dad will also be happy to see Brother Zhisheng show off his talents and knowledge, and use this to become an official."
More importantly, if I don't deal with your father first, how can I deal with another person's father?

Tong Guan, who had just returned to the mansion after a day of official duties, had just stepped into the mansion.
After hearing his words, Dalang Zhisheng brought two friends, saying they wanted to see him.
Tong Guan couldn't help being stunned, but when he heard that one of the two friends was Xiao Gao Zhuangyuan and the other was Cai Xiang Liulang, his expression suddenly changed slightly.
This reminded him of the instructions and explanations given to him by the officials in the palace.
Unexpectedly, even though I was still thinking about it, the problem has already come to me. What else can I do except bite the bullet?
When Tong Guan appeared in front of these three juniors, his old face, which usually looked rigid and serious, now smiled very kindly.
After some pleasantries, Tong Guan sat on the main seat without hesitation and glanced at his stepson, who was as strong as an ox, and Cai Laoliu, who was as fat as a ball.
Finally, it fell on Gao Zhang, who was sitting next to him, with a humble and polite smile on his face.
"Tong Zhuan, the actual situation is this. The emperor has an edict to do something, and asks his subordinates to recruit talented people from our court to work with them."
"Xiaguan, brother Zhisheng and Cai Liulang are close friends and know each other well. Therefore, I came here to ask Tong Zhuan for his permission to allow brother Zhisheng to work with Xiaguan."
"Oh?" Tong Guan glanced at his step-son Tong Zhisheng, who had the unstoppable courage, and looked at Gao Zhang in confusion.
But when I thought of the meaningful instructions and explanations given by the officials in the palace before.
He even directly made it clear to himself the master-disciple relationship between Gao Zhang and the Emperor of the Song Dynasty.
Naturally, Tong Guan did not dare and could not refuse, so he carefully considered his words and sentences.
"Since this matter has been commissioned by the emperor, and Xiao Gao's number one scholar is interested in Quan Zi's talent, our family is naturally happy to see it come to fruition and will certainly not stand in the way."
Seeing Tong Guan agreeing so happily, Gao Zhang couldn't help but feel secretly happy. It seemed that Master Hun Jun was really capable.
In this way, things will be much simpler. After all, the female prime minister has been dealt with, why can't the male prime minister still be dealt with?
"I would like to thank Tong Kuan for his understanding of justice, but I am just here.
Firstly, I came here to outsmart my brother Qiancheng, and secondly, I came here for Cai Liulang..."
Hearing this, Tong Guan couldn't help but smile and shook his head.
"Why, maybe Xiao Gao Zhuangyuan thinks that Prime Minister Cai will not agree to let Cai Liulang work with you?"
Gao Zhang couldn't help but smile shyly, pointing to his white and tender little face.
"Previously, Prime Minister Cai strictly ordered Cai Liulang to study poetry and books behind closed doors in the Secretary's Pavilion. Now the official wants to invite Cai Liulang to work with him.
But after all, Xiaguan is still a child, and he speaks softly. I'm afraid it will be difficult to convince Cai Xiang to let Liulang, the Qilin son of the Cai family, join forces with Xiaguan and Brother Zhisheng..."
"I learned from Cai Liulang that Tong Kuan has a good relationship with Prime Minister Cai, so I wanted to ask Tong Kuan to write a letter."
"In this way, with Tong Guan watching and advising from the side, and the subordinate officials telling Prime Minister Cai that he is awesome, it will be done."
Tong Guan looked at the smiling Gao Zhang in front of him and had to admit that this kid really had a good plan.
I really want to make the most of myself, but I'm afraid the officials have already explained it to me.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have dared to make such a request during their first meeting.
"It doesn't matter, if others say this, our family will definitely reject it, but who knows that this request was made by you, Xiao Gao Zhuangyuan..."
"When we get back, we will write a letter to inform Prime Minister Cai. I believe Prime Minister Cai will sell our family a thin noodle no matter what."
"Thank you very much for Tong Guanzong's help. I'm sorry to say that with the help of brother Zhi Sheng and Cai Liulang, I can accomplish the tasks assigned by the official."
Seeing Gao Zhang's unscheming and joyful expression, Tong Guan couldn't help but be stunned, and couldn't help but asked out of curiosity.
"Xiao Gao Zhuangyuan, what exactly is the matter entrusted to you by the officials? I wonder if you can let our family know?"
"Brother Zhisheng has already participated in this matter, so there is no need to hide it from Tong and observe you..."
"When Xiaguan was taking part in the Jinke Provincial Examination, he wrote an article called "Wu Bei Ce", which was very popular among officials."
"Officials are worried that our country's armaments will be depleted, and the addition of bureaucrats in the court has not only failed to alleviate this worry, but has actually made armaments manufacturing more chaotic and complicated..."
Tong Guan watched the eleven-year-old prodigy in front of him talk and talk, and the smile gradually disappeared from his face.
The stormy waves in his heart were already churning, and Tong Guan even wished he could raise his head to the sky and scream: "Fuck! Damn! What the hell are these people riding on horses?!"
Never would I have thought that the government would leave such a major military matter as arms reform to a child like Gao Zhang.
Isn't this a little too ambitious? Even if he is trusted and valued by the officials, he is only an eleven-year-old child after all.
For such a little baby to bear such a heavy responsibility, could the officials be stunned?
No, Zhisheng wants to work with him, and Cai Liulang... doesn't that mean...
The official family clearly wants us, Cai Xiang and Gao Qiu to help him carry the thunder jar?
I saw Tong Guan's face, which was so shocked and distorted after hearing the news, and his dull eyes.
Gao Zhang continued to state his idea in an orderly manner. Of course, this idea now has become the master of the faint king who has no plans.
"My master is worried that unofficial workshops may not be able to withstand the pressure of various ministries and supervisors.
Therefore, the three of us are specifically allowed to invest in a workshop that undertakes outsourced ordnance production..."
After hearing this, Tong Guan's face not only showed no joy, but also became more and more ugly.
He stared straight at Gao Zhang, seeing the innocent and shy expression of the prodigy champion.
As an old eunuch who has been in the officialdom for more than thirty years and still remains standing, his mind is reasoning rapidly at this moment.
No wonder, no wonder that when I was in the palace, this official who was nearly thirty years younger than me didn't mention this issue at all.
It turns out that the root lies here...
PS: Thank you for everyone's blessings. I would like to report to you that today's operation went very well. I am staying in the hospital for observation. If the situation is good tomorrow, I can go home. Thank you. After these few days, I will return to normal updates. I will not let you down.
