Chapter 273 Don’t worry about black and white cats, they are good cats if they catch mice (second update)
The names of Cai Laoliu and Tong Zhisheng were naturally known to both Chen Shilang and Zong Ze, but they did not expect Gao Zhang to do this in order to entertain them.
This made the sincere Zongze want to speak, but he was grabbed by Chen Shilang beside him and whispered something in his ear.
Zongze took a deep look at his friend of the same age and nodded helplessly.
In a short time, fine wine and delicious food were brought in quickly.
Although Gao Zhang was young, he was very smooth-talking and spoke nicely, which made Zongze, who originally felt a little embarrassed or even uncomfortable, feel like a breath of fresh air and gradually relaxed.
And Zongze is also a very amiable person, with a straightforward and bold personality, without the sourness of a nerd, and he has allusions at his fingertips, including Gao Zhang's "Wu Bei Ce" and "Zhi Jian Ce".
He even gave a very high evaluation. If Gao Zhang hadn't been a child, Zongze would have wanted to drink three large cups with Gao Zhang.
Soon, everyone put aside official positions and so on. These two people were called Gao Zhang's wise brothers, and Gao Zhang also called these two brothers.
Chen Shilang on the side saw that Gao Zhang had an excellent impression of Zongze, so he was naturally willing to advertise for this extremely talented and strategic friend of the same age.
He always brought the topic to Zongze intentionally or unintentionally. Gao Zhang naturally disguised himself as a curious baby and quickly learned the reason why Zongze appeared in Bianliang, Tokyo.
This big boss had expired in Laizhou Jiaoshui County, and an official had come to replace him. Zongze naturally wandered back to Beijing and waited for his new position.
However, it had been nearly a month since he arrived in Bianliang, Tokyo, and there had been no movement from the official department, which made Zongze very distressed.
As a result, just yesterday he went to the Ministry of Civil Affairs and finally got news, but this news made him very angry.
So I finally thought of Chen Shilang, a close friend of the same age with whom I had a very happy conversation, so today the two of them made a special appointment to come out and have a chat.
After hearing that Chen Shilang actually poured out his current situation in front of the young champion, like pouring beans out of a bamboo tube.
This made Zongze feel depressed again, his eyebrows tightened, and he drank two glasses of wine.
Unexpectedly, instead of showing the fuss that an ordinary young man should have, Gao Zhang slowly shook his head with a calm expression.
"I just heard that Brother Zong has done so many practical things for the local people and made outstanding political achievements in the place where he works. He should have been promoted long ago.
The officials are actually acting like this, is there something fishy here?"
Hearing these words, Zongze's face turned dark, and Chen Shilang beside him also let out a long sigh.
After that, he looked at Gao Zhang without saying a word for a long time before speaking.
"It seems that Xiao Gao, the number one scholar, must not know who is also the author of the Book of Official Affairs."
"...Could he be Cai Laoliu's biological father?" Gao Zhang blurted out subconsciously.
These words made Chen Shilang immediately twist his lips, and when Zongze heard such a title, he was really...
"What a coincidence, come on, come on, please tell me, brother Zong, what's going on. You went to the Ministry of Personnel, who are you looking for..."
Zongze smiled helplessly and shook his head.
"That treacherous person is in power, has power in both the government and the public, and is full of party members, especially within the official department. Brother Guizhang, what can you do even if you know about it?"
"Brother Rulin, just tell me. Anyway, we are just idle here for a while, so you can just say it. As the saying goes, one person can think of shortcomings, and everyone can think of advantages..."
Seeing that this good friend of the same year and the new friend Gao Zhang didn't say anything, they looked at me longingly.
Zongze let out a deep sigh and then directly talked about his experience.
Gao Zhang listened silently to Zong Ze's story about how he was running into obstacles in the official department.
The more he talked, the more depressed he became, and the more depressed he became, the more he wanted to drink. A glass of wine and a few words. Before he knew it, Zongze was already drunk and lay directly on the table, snoring like thunder.
Chen Shilang looked at his old friend of the same age with a sigh on his face, and looked at Gao Zhang who was silent at the side.
"Chen, who is the same age, is very talented. He is not only good at managing civil affairs, but also proficient in military strategy. He is definitely a talented person who can become a general or a prime minister."
"But he has an upright temperament and doesn't like to flatter his superiors. No matter how well he does in office, when he gets to court, haha..."
"Yes, Brother Zong has wasted his career. This is a huge loss to the country."
"Well..." Chen Shilang glanced at Zongze, who was sleeping unconsciously, and simply moved to Gao Zhang's side and lowered his voice.
"Xiao Gao Zhuangyuan, can you help him?"
"I guess you don't want to see your eldest brother, a man of national caliber, continue to be buried and squeezed out, right?"
Gao Zhang glanced at Chen Shilang, who was staring at him with bright eyes, and couldn't help but hesitate.
"Please let me think carefully, little brother..."
This was Zong Ze, who would be called Grandpa Zong by the barbarians of the Jin Kingdom in the future. This national hero and a famous anti-Jin general would naturally have to help him.
But how to help, how to help, there is something important here.
Chen Shilang saw Gao Zhang sitting behind the desk, playing with a wine cup in his hand, with a thoughtful expression.
He sat aside honestly, even drinking and eating with great care, for fear of disturbing the thoughts of this resourceful child prodigy.
At this time, there was a burst of noise outside, and then, Chen Shilang heard the shouting coming from outside.
"The Sa family has already arrived, but brother Guizhang hasn't arrived yet?"
This is none other than Tong Zhisheng.
"Haha, who knows, maybe I left our two brothers here and ran off somewhere."
Needless to say, the one who dared to be so crooked was Cai Laoliu, who had maxed out provocation talent.
When Gao Zhang heard Cai Laoliu's words, his face suddenly darkened, and he wanted to grab a big stick and rush out to let this kid know what it means to respect the elderly and love the young.
But after glancing at Zongze next to him, Gao Zhang suddenly froze on the spot.
His mind began to spin at a high speed. Chen Shilang also heard the movement outside the house, but saw Gao Zhang looking at Zongze with an expression that was not angry but happy.
"Brother Zong, I probably know what to do, little brother."
"What can I do?" Chen Shilang's eyes lit up and he put down the chopsticks in his hands and asked impatiently.
Gao Zhang showed a strange smile and whispered into Chen Shilang's ear.
Chen Shilang's eyes widened exaggeratedly, and he looked at Gao Zhang with a frightened look.
"Is this, this, this appropriate?"
"What is appropriate or inappropriate about this? As the saying goes, it doesn't matter whether the cat is black or white, as long as it catches mice, it is a good cat."
