Chapter 565: What are the two strategies offered by Xiao Gao? Quickly show me (third update)
After returning to the mansion, Wu Zhizhong, who had stayed up all night, did not even bother to rest, and began to write down all the two strategies proposed by Gao Zhang last month.
After that, I copied it carefully again and polished it carefully. After making sure that both strategies were perfect, I fell on the bed and fell asleep.
The morning meeting the next day was very sloppy, and the officials were obviously a little uneasy, so it took quite a while and half an hour to end it hastily.
Wu Zhizhong and Chen Shilang slowed down their pace in a tacit understanding, and waited until the civil and military ministers and ministers had drifted away, then turned around and went to find a eunuch to ask if he had any urgent matters and asked to see the official.
Zhao Ji, an official, is rushing to the Imperial Study Room at this moment. Yesterday he went to the teacher's girl to pursue the dual enjoyment of art and spirit.
Because he was very happy, Zhao Ji, an official, was so inspired by the double enjoyment that he began to create a picture of the goddess Shilu after he came back.
Returning to the imperial study, the official Zhao Ji once again stood in front of the desk in high spirits, looking at the half-finished picture of the Goddess Shilu.
He picked up the pen and began to brew his emotions. Yang Jian, who had already prepared the ink, wisely retreated to a distance, not daring to disturb the officials and engage in artistic creation.
No, when the official Zhao Ji was about to start painting, he heard a low call from outside the imperial study room.
This made official Zhao Ji's face darken, he raised his head and shouted displeased.
"What's the matter?"
"The official family, Wu Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, and Chen Shilang have urgent matters to ask to see the official family."
"Alas..." Zhao Ji, an official, looked at the half-finished masterpiece in front of him and felt very sick.
I just want to paint a picture quietly, but my servants never let me have my leisure time.
He wanted Wu Zhizhong to go directly to chat with Cai Jingdan, but considering that the two of them could not afford it.
If the fight breaks out again, I won’t be the only one to have a headache.
"That's all, let him come over quickly, I'll wait for him there."
Official Zhao Ji weakly put the pen in his leg on the pen holder and gave weak instructions.

In a short time, Wu and Chen walked outside the imperial study room. What they saw were two almost identical slim gold masterpieces hanging in the study room.
In Bu Nao, in the most eye-catching place of Ruming, there is a masterpiece of art and an immortal who looks exactly like the official.
There are many divine generals who look exactly like Yang Jian, and there is also a divine dog who looks exactly like the dog in the imperial study room. They are all painted here.
Seeing the astonished expressions of Wu Zhizhong and Chen Shilang, official Zhao Ji raised the corners of his mouth proudly, raised his leg and pointed at the painting and said.
"Wu Qing, Chen Qing, let's guess who created this painting?"
"..." Wu and Chen's faces darkened. Do you guys have any serious business and want to ask me for help?
It turns out that I actually asked them to guess which famous artist the painting came from. What a fool!...
He was cursing the foolish king in his heart, but on the surface, Wu Zhizhong smiled and bowed respectfully to the official, and came to stand in front of the painting.
I soon noticed the clues, because at one angle of the painting, a young man was prostrate respectfully, as if he was worshiping the immortal.
The young man's clothes and crown made Wu Zhizhong feel familiar, as if he had seen them somewhere.
Out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of the official's proud expression, and when he looked at the handwriting on it, Wu Zhizhong's eyes suddenly lit up.
Before, he felt that the two strategies he was going to propose might be 60-70% sure that the officials could implement them, but now, Wu Zhizhong felt that he was at least 90% sure.
Wu Zhizhong looked at the official Zhao Ji who came over with a face full of shock, his tone full of disbelief.
"Could it be that it's the painting of Xiao Gao Zhuangyuan?"
"Sure enough, I am worthy of Wu Henqing. He has a pair of sharp eyes. Yes, this painting is just like Xiao Gao's leg painting."
Official Zhao Ji couldn't help laughing, stroking his short beard and nodding his head to acknowledge Wu Zhizhong's guess.
Wu Zhizhong shook his head in disbelief and spoke half truthfully.
"How old is Xiao Gao, the number one scholar? Not only has he achieved the Samadhi of Bidong Zhenzhuan in calligraphy, but he also has such attainments in calligraphy and painting. Does this really make me ashamed..."
"Is it really the work of the Number One Scholar?"
Chen Shilang stared straight at the masterpiece and shook his head in disbelief for a long time.
That can no longer be called a talent, it is simply a miracle, right? At the age of more than ten years old, he is so sophisticated in calligraphy, and even in the art of painting, he has such skills.
Coupled with his various achievements since becoming an official, Chen Shilang really became famous.
A child prodigy like Gao Zhang, who waited hundreds of years to emerge, is indeed incomprehensible to ordinary people, let alone incomparable to him.
Wu Zhizhong and Chen Shilang made the same masterpiece and praised it fiercely. As expected, the official Long Yan was delighted and refreshed.
The little emotions that were disturbed by my artistic creation also disappeared.
"You two ruthless ministers are here to see me. What's the urgent matter?"
Official Zhao Ji took a sip of the black tea soup, although he preferred Dragon and Phoenix Group Tea.
But no, the ruthless man gave me the fragrant and sweet black tea to warm his stomach, and the officials also liked to have a pot of it from time to time to enjoy the ruthless man's filial piety.

At this moment, Wu Zhizhong decided to put aside Zhi Qiebei's rhetoric and go straight to the point.
"Actually, speaking of it, this matter has a big quarrel with the little high-ranking scholar Gang. The old minister doesn't dare to be good at it, so he came here to see the official..."
"speak."
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw the originally relaxed and cheerful official in front of him, and his expression suddenly turned serious.
"No..." The old and cunning Wu Zhizhong was also secretly happy, and soon began to tell the story of how he and Chen Shilang were preparing for the imperial examination and provincial examination next spring.
In the Song Dynasty, the imperial examinations were as grand as the Ming Dynasty, and the institutions were bloated, and the redundant officials were overstaffed and had a lot of headaches.
"It just so happens that Xiao Gao, a scholar with great knowledge and unrivaled intelligence, was awarded the Imperial Academy position due to his merits."
"So, the old minister and Chen Shilang went to the Gaofu Mansion to congratulate Xiao Gao's number one scholar, and they happened to talk to him about the shortcomings of redundant officials in the Song Dynasty..."
"Unexpectedly, Xiao Gao, the champion, thought that there was a certain connection between the redundant officials of the Song Dynasty and the prosperity of the literary fortune of the Song Dynasty."
"The old minister was unconvinced at first and argued with him. Xiao Gao, the champion, compared the former Tang Dynasty with his Song Dynasty.
He analyzed the reason why he had redundant officials in the Song Dynasty to the core, so that both the old minister and Chen Shilang had to admit that he was wrong..."
At this moment, the official had straightened his body and listened carefully to Wu Zhizhong's words.
After a long while, he realized something and his eyes fell on Wu Zhizhong's face.
"Do I mean that Xiao Gao made the mistake of having too many officials in the Song Dynasty, but he also had a good plan?"
"Is it true? After Xiao Gao, the number one scholar, talked with the old minister and Chen Shilang all night, he was worried about the problem of redundant officials in the Song Dynasty and offered two strategies..."
"Two strategies? Where are the two strategies Xiao Gao offered? Quickly show me."
"..."
I received the news that there will be a big promotion on the 23rd. It happened to be a two-day period for him to rest and recuperate, and he will start working on the 5th update on the 23rd.
