Chapter 196 The vaguely guessed truth (third update)
Therefore, the officials specially gave three people a hundred pieces of silk and satin each to show that the emperor compensated them for the injustice they had suffered during these days.
Of course, Cai Yao and Tong Zhisheng, who had been severely beaten and suffered physical and mental injuries, were given medicinal materials and sent imperial doctors to diagnose and treat them.
As for Gao Zhang, he does not have this benefit. After all, he has a full beard and tail, and not even a single hair has been lost.
However, after this battle, all the officials who had originally wanted to do something in private to make the ordnance outsourcing business unable to continue, could only put their thoughts away now.
Even the battlefield in the middle and later stages of this storm has been moved to the court.
But those three young men had to let the justices in the court look at each other.
Well, the only one who was looking at him was the child prodigy number one scholar Gao Zhang. In this incident, not only did the child prodigy number one scholar not get beaten up and bruised like Tong Zhisheng and Cai Laoliu.
Instead, he made a splash in the Kaifeng Mansion. Judging from the subsequent reactions, the officials really valued this son.
As for Cai Laoliu and Na Tong Zhisheng, it was just incidental, and some people had even vaguely guessed the truth.
The officials favored Xiao Gao as the champion and entrusted him with important responsibilities. The two supervisors, Tong and Cai, might have been specially hired by the officials to help him escort him.
In these days, memorials from county officials in various states of the Song Dynasty opposing the outsourcing of ordnance have gradually arrived in Tokyo.
The emperor of the Song Dynasty didn't even have the urge to read these memorials. He turned a blind eye and continued to do what he should do.
With great difficulty, the incident caused by the outsourcing of weapons was finally dealt with. Zhao Ji, an official who had not had a chance to leave the palace for some time, finally had a chance to do so.
But today, the most trusted eunuch, Yang Jian, looked a little pale and coughed repeatedly.
"Yang Jian, you'd better stay in the palace and rest for a long time. Let the imperial doctor come and take a look at you. You don't need to drive with me today."
"Come here, call Li Yan and ask him to follow me to Yuqing Zhaoying Palace."
After hearing the official Zhao Ji's unquestionable instructions, Yang Jian could only thank the official for his kindness with gratitude on his face.
Soon, he saw Li Yan hurrying over with excitement on his face, bowed to the official family, and followed the official family to the outside.
But when he was about to go out, Li Yan looked back at Yang Jian, which made Yang Jian feel a sudden shock in his heart.
Yang Jian coughed several times, looked at the figure of the official and Li Yan walking away, helplessly let the young eunuch support him, and turned to leave.
Damn it, if you don't get sick early, you won't get sick late. It's really unreasonable to catch a cold when the official is about to leave the palace.
However, it was just a trip out of the palace, so what could Li Yan do?
Yang Jian comforted himself as he moved forward.
And the number three confidant, Liang Shicheng, is writing furiously and continuing to practice calligraphy hard at the moment.
Now, the thin gold body in his painting finally has a 60-70% resemblance, which made Liang Shicheng reveal a happy smile on his face.
Liang Shicheng couldn't help but turn his head and look at the thin gold version of "The Thousand Character Essay" placed aside.
A few days ago, the official heard that he was quite accomplished in calligraphy and specially gave it to him so that he could practice according to it.
When Liang Shicheng thought about the favor given to him by the officials, he couldn't help but feel full of fighting spirit. No matter what, even if he had his head hanging from a beam and his buttocks stabbed, he must reach the point of joining the army as soon as possible.
After copying the Thousand-Character Classic in thin gold, Liang Shicheng couldn't help but think of the official's smile when he handed him the Thousand-Character Classic that day, with the ink not yet completely dry.
However, what made Liang Shicheng feel a little strange was that the child prodigy Gao Zhang, who was favored by the officials, was standing nearby.
It was just a child who was a child prodigy. When he saw that the official gave him this "Thousand-Character Essay" to practice.
His cute expression of shock and confusion aroused the official's hearty laughter with a hint of bad taste.
Thinking of this, Liang Shicheng couldn't help but curl up his lips proudly, haha... So what if you are a child prodigy?
How did you know that our family is also an old member of Qiandi who has been with the official family for nearly 20 years?
How can such a favor be matched by a little child like you?
Liang Shicheng couldn't help but be fascinated as he looked at the thin golden body with exposed muscles and full of beauty in the font.
When I have developed a thin gold body and shine in front of the officials, I think the officials will be filled with joy.
I believe that when that time comes, regardless of Li Yan or Yang Jian, how can they prevent themselves from being appreciated by the officials?
The officials will definitely be moved by his diligent study and training, and will definitely give him some affairs that even a vulgar person like Li Yan or a ruthless person like Yang Jian can't handle.

Li Yan quickly followed the official's side, his eyes constantly searching the area until he saw a confidant, a young eunuch, and made a gesture towards him.
Seeing the confused expression of the other party, Li Yan's face darkened and he repeated the gesture just now.
Only then did he see the face of his confidant, the little eunuch, suddenly realized, and then he turned around and ran away into the distance without hesitation.
Zhao Ji, an official who was walking in front with his head held high, turned his head as if aware, but saw nothing.
He couldn't help but glance at Li Yan sideways. "Did you see anything?"
Li Yan's heart was pounding, he forced a smile, pointed over there and said.
"Guan family, this servant saw the wild cat just now and passed over from there..."
Hearing that it was a wild cat, the official Zhao Ji looked at the scenery there. If there happened to be a wild cat, he would lie down on the top of the rockery and take a nap.
I think that when I put pen to paper, it will definitely be a painting with excellent artistic conception.
"It's a pity... next time you see it, don't be alarmed, remember to let me know."
After hearing the official's somewhat displeased instructions, Li Yan lowered his head.
"...Yes, yes, I understand. I will definitely not disturb you next time."

On the way to Yuqing Zhaoying Palace, there is a small forest and a small lake. The scenery is very beautiful.
In a small lake about a mile away from here, in a private house, a middle-aged man wearing a monk's robe was walking in the small courtyard of the house with a depressed expression.
Not far away, two young Taoist priests looked at their master with some fear, the longer they stayed here.
Master's temper is getting worse and worse. Alas, these days are really difficult.
Not far away, a kid with a green hat was running towards this side. The kid with a green hat, who was already sweating profusely, finally breathed a sigh of relief after looking at the house, gritted his teeth, and ran over. Inside the house, there was a knock on the door.
"Daozhang Wang, is Taozhang Wang here?"
"Who are you?" After a while, the door opened, and a young Taoist priest looked at the boy with a blue hat in confusion.
I saw the boy with a green hat take out something from his arms and wave it towards the young Taoist priest.
"My godfather asked me to come here. I came to see Mr. Wang for something important."
