Chapter 246 That guy is trying to drag me into a trap (Second update)
I have to say that the smile of this little champion is very charming, and that friendly smile gradually calmed Lu Qian's mood.
Also, what is there to care about? Now I have become the person next to the little champion, and a great future is waiting for me.
Maybe there will be a chance to be his wife and son in the future.
Gao Zhang strode along with the officers in the direction of the Guoxin Office, but when they saw the young champion entering the government office, some of the clerks hurried towards the Shangguan.
In a short time, we arrived at the office of the National Information Office.
A group of officials who had received the news had gathered here to salute respectfully to the prodigy champion who had been entrusted with important tasks by the officials.
After Gao Zhang exchanged pleasantries with these officials, he began to get down to business.
"Colleagues, since our office is a yamen that specializes in dealing with the Liao Kingdom, I wonder how much information there is about the envoy from the Liao Kingdom who came to us as an envoy to the Song Dynasty?"
An official stood up quickly, walked not far away, brought a brochure and handed it over respectfully.
"Back to Si Cheng, this is all the news about Liao Ambassador Xiao Fengxian that I have collected from the correspondence..."
After Gao Zhang took it, he began to look through it, but soon, his brows wrinkled.
The officials who were traveling to and from the National Information Office, sitting separately in the room, looked at the child prodigy who was obviously still a child, but he looked like an adult.
I always felt that he was pretending, especially the way Gao Zhang frowned, which almost made the older official laugh out loud.
This champion is younger than his youngest son.
"Everyone, this is the only information you have about Xiao Fengxian?"
Gao Zhang raised his head and looked at these officials who looked very relaxed. He couldn't help but look down, patted the thin booklet on the desk and asked.
"Reporting to Gao Si Cheng, I have indeed collected information about the Liao envoy's origin, official position, preferences, and even information about his elders and peers according to the rules of the National Information Office..."
"His hobbies are good writing and poetry, and he likes to have sex with prostitutes and travel. Just a few sentences?..."
"Good Master Gao Si Cheng knows that Xiao Fengxian is a newly rising upstart in the Liao Kingdom.
It is not easy for me to collect so much information about him in such a short period of time through my visits to the National Information Office..."
The person speaking at this time was an elderly boss named Xu Bo.
#####
"Then I dare to ask Lord Xu, after this envoy from the Liao Kingdom entered the territory of our Song Dynasty, did he interact with the local officials of our Song Dynasty every time he was stationed, or did he communicate with anyone?"
"Furthermore, this person is lustful. Is he greedy for money? What flaws does he have in his character? Is he arrogant or cautious..."
"Also, his hobby is good writing and poetry. What about his own talent and knowledge? What are his specialties in playing music, chess, calligraphy and painting? Who's poems do you like best?"
"Also, what kind of brothel girl does this person like to have sex with? Are they tall, short, fat, thin, young or old? You haven't even noticed this?"
Every time Gao Zhang asked a question, the face of the old master surnamed Xu darkened, and all the officials who came to and from the National Information Office also lowered their heads.
"When dealings between countries, this matter must be cautious and thorough. As for the thing you handed over to me..."
Gao Zhang really couldn't say anything. After all, he was still a child. It was obviously indecent to call other people's efforts a piece of shit.
If I had known this, I should have brought Cai Laoliu here. That guy would never dare to say anything.
At this moment, Wang Siqing, who had received the news and had come outside to eavesdrop for a while, heard this. At this moment, he could only cough hard, and then slowly came to the door of the public room.
All the officials coming and going from the National Information Office stood up and saluted the minister of Honglu Temple.
Gao Zhang also bypassed the desk and bowed respectfully to the Minister of Honglu Temple, who was currently his immediate superior.
"Oh... You must not do it, Duke Zhuangyuan. You are a child prodigy of our dynasty, and you have been entrusted with the sacred task of hosting the envoys of Liao."
"Logically speaking, even I should listen to your instructions..."
"Wang Siqing is joking. I am quite unsophisticated when it comes to diplomacy at the beginning of my career. I need the guidance and correction of an experienced elder like you, Wang Siqing."
"If Wang Siqing can come up with a better way, then I will naturally obey..."
Gao Zhang smiled and praised Wang Siqing.
Hearing these words, Wang Siqing's eyelids twitched several times, and he always felt that there was something in the words of this young top scholar who was still just a child.
I quickly said haha, stroking my long beard and thinking about it for a long time before speaking cautiously.
"The Number One Scholar is entrusted with the sacred mandate. Naturally, I don't dare to speak carelessly about this matter. It will ruin the official affairs and even ruin the plans of the Number One Scholar."
"..." When a group of officials from the National Information Office who originally thought Wang Siqing was here to help heard this, they couldn't help but be a little confused.
What do you mean, then why do you, old man, come out to make your presence felt all of a sudden?
Wang Siqing exchanged a few words of greetings and said that everyone at Honglu Temple would give their full support to Xiao Gao's work.
He also encouraged the officials who came to and from the National Information Office to cooperate fully with Xiao Gao, the champion.
If you dare to ruin Xiao Gao's first prize, you will be waiting to be reckoned with by Queen Qiu, and then run away...
#####
The other temple minister who followed the Honglu Temple Minister step by step was really confused at this moment, and he didn't understand what Shangguan was doing.
When the Minister of Honglu Temple returned to his public house and sat down, he cursed in a low voice with a look of resentment on his face.
"I really hunt geese every day, but today I was pecked in the eye by a goose..."
"Si Qing, what happened, Si Qing, why are you so..."
Seeing his subordinate's stupidity and scheming, Wang Siqing couldn't help but glare at this guy and shouted in a deep voice.
"Can't you figure out what that kid means? What do you mean by listening to me? This is a trap, a big trap..."
"If in the future, he keeps saying that when dealing with envoys from the Liao Kingdom, he always obeys his own officials, what do you think the consequences will be?"
"Ah this..." The Si Cheng's expression suddenly changed, and he reacted instantly.
"This, could this be just what he said unintentionally? After all, he is still a child at such a young age..."
After hearing his subordinate's words, Wang Siqing also hesitated a little. Could it be that that boy just talks sweetly and likes to be obedient, and doesn't have that deep thought?
Seeing Wang Siqing's appearance, Si Cheng, who was previously responsible for correspondence between the country and the country, couldn't help but say again.
"Secretary of the Temple, Xiao Gao Zhuangyuan has just arrived at the National Information Office, and he is interfering in the work of the National Information Office. If this continues for a long time, how will the officials do their jobs?"
