Chapter 620: Is Xiao Gao an excellent candidate for envoy to Liao (latest update)
The official glanced at Wu Zhizhong and then at Tong Guan, who was looking at him eagerly.
There was something unclear in his heart. Tong Guan clearly wanted to take credit for his mission.
Credit... went to the Liao Kingdom as an envoy... Zhao Ji, an official, looked directly at Tong Guan, and suddenly his mind flashed to Xiao Gao standing in front of the jade tree facing the wind, calm and graceful.
If not, then the Emperor of Liao Kingdom would definitely be moved by his ruthless magnanimity and charm, right?
If he fails to make that mission, it does not mean that he has not made any new achievements, for example, he is not a third-grade Hanlin scholar.
After Lidong's meritorious service, wouldn't it be easy for him to become the ruler?
At this moment, Wu Zhizhong, Wang Siqing, and Tong Guan all looked nervously at the official who was obviously distracted.
As soon as they saw the official's face showing a proud look of joy, Wu Zhizhong and Na Wang Siqing's expressions suddenly began to look ugly.
And Tong Guan's face already showed expectation, it seemed that the official family was already moved.
For a moment, the official's sudden words immediately made Tong Guan's expression freeze.
"I'll have to think about this matter carefully before talking about it."
"The official sage." Wu Zhizhong and the king's minister were secretly happy, and they quickly bowed their heads and bowed. Good, good, the faint king will occasionally have his head clear.
Zhao Ji saw the changes in the expressions of Wu Zhizhong and Wang Siqing, and naturally also noticed the expression of Tong Guan.
"Tong Guan, please don't forget. I have entrusted you with the task of building the General Staff Council."
"If everything else is clear, we can put it aside first and complete the preparations for the General Staff Council as soon as possible so that it can play its role and live up to my expectations."
After hearing the official's words, Tong Guan was a little disappointed, but he was also impressed by his staff envoy.
I am afraid that before the affairs of the General Staff Council are completely clarified and settled, there will be no chance to make new achievements.
Bu Nao, when I think about whether the envoy of the General Staff Council can stand up to the second rank, can I give it up?
Tong Guan, who couldn't bear to leave Nazheng Erkou as the envoy of the General Staff Council, could honestly bow to the officials and express that he would do his best to prepare the General Staff Council as soon as possible.

Seeing Wu Zhizhong's cheeky old man leaning against the futon, he showed no intention of getting up. Tong Guan, who had lost the chance, didn't bother to stay any longer and left.
Over there, Wang Siqing originally wanted to ask Moji if he could see the looks Wu Shangshu sent him repeatedly, so he had no choice but to say goodbye.
After seeing that Wang Siqing had left the sight, the official sighed quietly towards Wu Zhizhong.
"Wu Laohenqing, do I know that in those few months, I really seemed to have seen the scene when Xiao Gao splashed ink in front of me for the first time in the past month and wrote the Thin Gold Body."
Wu Zhizhong's eyelids jumped when he heard those words, and he couldn't help asking curiously.
"Why did the official say this? Could it be that the little champion has done some strange things?"
"Yang Jian, let me show you the five-character quatrain written by me and Xiao Gao that day to Mr. Wu."
Yang Jian responded respectfully and walked away quickly. After a while, he brought a sandalwood box. After opening it, he took out two pieces of rice paper and placed them on Wu Zhizhong's desk.
"That, that, that..." Wu Zhizhong stared blankly at the two five-character quatrains written by Gao Dong, which were difficult to distinguish regardless of calligraphy style or handwriting.
I am asking for no. Of the two five-character quatrains, one is signed with the official monogram, and the other is signed with the name of the prodigy number one scholar Xiao Gao.
"Is this a masterpiece that the official and the No. 1 scholar viewed this painting at the same time and started writing at the same time..."
After hearing what Yang Jian said, Wu Zhizhong glanced at the painting hanging in the pavilion, and then at the two calligraphy works in front of him, shaking his head in disbelief.
"Then, that is absolutely impossible and absolutely wrong. How could such a strange thing happen in the world?"
"No...if I had not experienced this personally, I would be like me and wonder how such a magical opportunity could exist in the world."
Zhao Ji, an official who had thought about it countless times in his heart, finally found a suitable place to talk to about his misunderstanding.
After he finished the painting that day, he felt something in his heart and prepared to write a poem to match the masterpiece.
It happened that Xiao Gao and his ruthless daughter came over to challenge him, so Zhao Ji asked the official to describe all the magical scenes with him in composing verses for the masterpiece.
Especially when I heard the official description of Zai Que that I had just finished writing, I happened to hear Hen Nu reciting Zai Que with my own ears. When I turned around, I was shocked to realize that Hen Nu was reading the poem that Xiao Gao had just written.
When Wu Zhizhong heard this, his first reaction was that the emperor was bragging.
The second reaction was no. What's the use of his boasting?
Now, after putting aside the first and second reactions, let's recall the miraculous fact that Gao Zhang was able to master the thin golden body in one night.
Previously, Wu Zhizhong, who had been stunned for a long time, came up with a conclusion that was neither the most reliable nor the most realistic.
"It's really a miracle given by heaven..."

The monarch and his ministers also squatted together and lamented when they heard the official Zhao Ji talk about Xiao Gao's journey of composing the five-character quatrain.
Seeing the numbingly kind look of former official Zhao Ji, Wu Zhizhong really wanted to ask Gao Zhang about that cheeky little guy.
Does such shameless and embarrassing flattery really mean that what I am thinking cannot come true?
However, Wu Zhizhong just didn't think about it. After all, he longed for that extraordinary genius who was astonishingly talented and willing to revolutionize the Song Dynasty, and who only appeared once in five hundred years.
The closer the relationship with the Wei Shu family is, the better. It is best if the sweetness is mixed with the oil, the love between father and son is the same, and the officials are convinced that Xiao Gaozhang is the best.
Only in this way can officials be willing to follow the right path and not be led to the wrong path by those treacherous and sycophantic officials.
Just when Wu Zhizhong was thinking wildly, he heard the official speak.
"Just now, Mr. Lao Ren, I talked to me about sending an envoy to the Liao Kingdom. I thought about it for a long time, and I feel that Xiao Gao is an excellent candidate."
"If he can be sent to Liao as an envoy and return with full success, then I can make him the ruler."
Wu Zhizhong's eyelids jumped wildly when he heard the term "ruling".
He raised his eyes and looked at the foolish king who seemed to be taking it for granted, ah no... it was Zhao Ji, the wise lord.
The so-called "governing officer" in the Song Dynasty refers to the official positions of Privy Councilor, Deputy Minister and Councilor of Political Affairs, which were highly sought after in the Song Dynasty. They are all called "consulting officer".
The prime minister and the consul are collectively called the "Zai Zhi", and according to the convention of the Song Dynasty, those who wanted to become the consul were the ones who wanted to become the consul.
Most of them were promoted from the four positions of Third Secretary, Hanlin Bachelor, Kaifeng Prefecture, and Yushi Zhongcheng.
It can be seen whether it can become the best transitional position at the head of hundreds of officials where one person can help thousands of people...
