Chapter 202: Looking after thirty years? Are you sure? (fourth update)
Now, the treacherous prime minister Cai Jing, using the thunderous wrath of the officials, intends to wipe out all the loyal people who are unwilling to listen to his call and disobey his will.
Even the Ordnance Supervision, the Ministry of Household Affairs, and the Ministry of War are all in danger.
Wu Zhizhong on the side also had a heavy expression on his face, nodding repeatedly, and kept looking at Gao Zhang out of the corner of his eye.
But they found that the young top scholar had a cute look on his face and looked at Chen Shilang with confusion in his eyes.
Wu Zhizhong's expression suddenly became strange. He always felt that this wise and thoughtful Number One Scholar was behaving very strangely at this moment.
Similarly, Chen Shilang also noticed Gao Zhang's expression, which immediately confused his mind and forgot what he should say next.
"Um, Lord Zhuangyuan, what's your expression like? But Chen said something wrong just now."
"Ah...oh, this is the first time I heard that there was such a big disturbance in the court, but I didn't feel it at all."
"Thank you for your advice, sir. It seems that it is indeed a good thing that I still hold a low position."
"???" Chen Shilang looked at the child in front of him who looked very happy with a dark expression on his face, always feeling that something was wrong.
What is my purpose? Do you think that I am here just to educate you about the fierce battle in the court?
It was because of your good article that this little boy appeared, so this incident happened, okay?
Of course, the responsibility is not on you, but please don't look very lucky. You are lucky, you are lucky to have a copper coin.
When he squinted his eyes, he saw Wu Zhizhong immersed in drinking tea. This made Chen Shilang very dissatisfied.
But fortunately, Chen Shilang still controlled his emotions
"After experiencing this, I am afraid that all the princes in the court will know it. Today's officials will look at the Number One Scholar in a different light."
"Today Mr. Wu and Mr. Wu came to visit the Number One Scholar, hoping that the Number One Scholar would stand up..."
Gao Zhang stared blankly at Chen Shilang. The meaning of Chen Shilang was quite simple and clear, that is, he knew that you, Gao Zhang, should be very honorable in front of the official family.
So, I hope you can stand up and advise the officials to stop Cai Jing from continuing to act like a fool.
Look at how many officials in the Ministry of Industry have been replaced by Cai Jing's people. If this continues, Cai Jing may one day become someone like Wang Mang.
Hearing this, Gao Zhang almost burst into laughter, but fortunately he controlled his emotions and continued to listen patiently.
There are countless grooves in my heart, and I want to spit them out.
Until Shilang Chen finished explaining their request, the room fell into silence again.
Gao Zhang was silent for a long time, and then he spoke, and his childish but not timid voice sounded in the room.
"My two lords have a good idea, but the problem is that my position is undeniable. I have no say in the court, and I have nothing to say. After all, I have not made any contribution to the court.
As for the officials favoring me, it is because of my articles and age, but they have not yet seen my abilities.
You two want to rely on this to ask me to persuade the officials to stop Prime Minister Cai, who has been friends with the officials for many years. Isn't this inappropriate?"
Before he finished speaking, Wu Zhizhong, who had just been drinking tea and watching a show, laughed and hurriedly made a statement.
"Nephew Guizhang, this is just Shilang Chen's personal opinion. Don't involve me."
Listening to Gao Zhang's logical rebuttal, Chen Shilang opened his mouth and finally let out a long sigh.
Only then did Wu Zhizhong clear his throat and act like a peacemaker.
"After all, I have been in politics with Chen Shilang for many years, and we have good friends who serve in various ministries. I don't want Cai Jing to cause chaos in the court and damage the foundation of the Song Dynasty."
"I came here with Chen Shilang. I also have something I want to talk to my nephew Guizhang..."
How could Gao Zhang dare to look down upon this old man who was smiling and seemed extremely kind.
This old guy is a tough person who dares to confront the treacherous prime minister Cai Jing in front of the official. He is not an easy person to deal with.
Wu Zhizhong looked at Gao Zhang in front of him with a smile, and began to chat slowly, like a kind and kind elder.
I asked Gao Zhang how he was doing with the ordnance outsourcing these days.
After listening to Gao Zhang's words, Wu Zhizhong nodded, feeling very emotional.
"This matter of arms reform is indeed not that easy. Now it has just begun and it has caused such a big disturbance."
"My dear nephew, have you ever thought about it. The deeper the arms reform goes, the greater the resistance will be and the more people will be watching you."
"The important thing is, my nephew, you have just entered the official career. You won the first prize at the age of eleven, and you are favored by the officials. It can be said that the most eye-catching person in Tokyo this year is you, my nephew."
"However, things like reputation have advantages and disadvantages. Now you are in charge of the ordnance innovation, cooperating with Cai and Tong."
"After this turmoil, many officials in the DPRK and China who have interests in this will definitely keep an eye on you. If you are not careful, it will definitely be a heavy blow to your reputation."
Hearing Wu Zhizhong patiently analyzing the pros and cons in front of him, Gao Zhang felt warm in his heart. At least this old man was indeed considering and analyzing the problem from his own perspective.
However, he also understood what Wu Zhizhong meant. What this scheming old driver meant was that you are still a child, still so young.
You already have such a good reputation, and after experiencing the Kaifeng Metal Workshop turmoil, people don't dare to look down upon you.
"At this time, you should retreat in time, which is the best choice."
"Withdraw?" Gao Zhang looked at the serious Wu Zhizhong with a confused look on his face.
I really want to raise my hand and touch the forehead of this old driver to see if he is confused. I have done a good job. Do you want me to resign?
Seeing Gao Zhang's cute look, Chen Shilang coughed twice and felt that he needed to explain to Wu Shangshu.
After all, in his opinion, Gao Zhang, who had achieved today's achievements and reputation through the hands of him and Wu Shangshu, was indeed very suitable to embark on that path.
It was a glorious road that countless scholars once admired and admired.
"Master Zhuangyuan, what Mr. Wu means is that you have now taken the beginning of the imperial court's implementation of armament reform."
"At this time, you should withdraw in time to avoid future troubles and damage to your reputation."
"After all, you are still an eleven-year-old child. At such an age, you can definitely follow Wang Wengong's example and raise him for thirty years..."
Gao Zhang looked at Chen Shilang, who had a sincere and persuasive tone, and Wu Shangshu, who was full of comfort and kindness.
I couldn't help but raise my hand and scratch my itchy ears.
