Your majesty is awesome

Chapter 565 What are Xiao Gao's two strategies?Quickly show me (third watch)

Back in the mansion, Wu Zhizhong, who had stayed up all night, didn't even bother to take a break, and began to splash ink, transcribing all the two strategies proposed by Gao Zhang yesterday.

Afterwards, I copied it again separately and polished it carefully, and after making sure that the two strategies were perfect, I fell asleep on the bed.

The morning court meeting the next day was very sloppy, and the officials were obviously a little restless. It only took half an hour before it ended hastily.

Wu Zhizhong slowed down tacitly with Chen Shilang, and waited until those civil and military officials had drifted away, then turned around and looked for an eunuch, saying that he had urgent business and asked to see the official.

The official Zhao Ji is rushing to the imperial study room at this moment. He went to the teacher's girl yesterday to pursue the double enjoyment of art and spirit.

Because of being very happy, Zhao Ji, an official, was overwhelmed with inspiration in the double enjoyment. After returning, he began to create a picture of the goddess Shilu.

Back in the imperial study room, the official Zhao Ji once again stood in front of the book case energetically, looking at the half-painted picture of Goddess Shilu.

Picking up a pen, Yang Jian began to brew his emotions. Yang Jian, who had already mastered ink sweat, retreated to a distance, not daring to worry about the official's artistic creation.

However, just as Zhao Ji, the official over there, was about to start painting, he heard a low call from outside the imperial study room.

This made the official Zhao Ji's complexion darken, and he raised his head and shouted displeasedly.

"What's the matter?"

"Officials, Wu Shangshu and Chen Shilang from the Ministry of Rites have urgent matters, please see the officials."

"Ah..." The official Zhao Ji looked at the half-finished masterpiece in front of him, feeling very pained.

I just want to draw a picture quietly, but these ministers never allow themselves to be idle.

He intended to let Wu Zhizhong directly talk to Cai Jingdan, but considering that the two of them would not deal with each other.

In case of getting angry again, the headache will still be myself.

"Forget it, let him come here quickly, I'll wait for him here."

Official Zhao Ji weakly put the pen in his hand on the pen holder, and gave orders weakly.

#####
After a short time, Wu and Chen walked into the imperial study, and as far as the eye could see, there were two almost identical thin gold masterpieces hanging in the study.

However, the most eye-catching place now is a masterpiece of art, a fairy who looks exactly like the official.

There is also a god general who looks exactly like Yang Jian, and a god dog who looks exactly like the dog in the imperial study room, all of which are on the painting.

Seeing the astonished expressions of Wu Zhizhong and Chen Shilang, the official Zhao Ji raised the corner of his mouth triumphantly, raised his hand and pointed at the painting.

"Wu Qing, Chen Qing, guess who made this painting?"

"..." Wu and Chen's faces darkened.I have a serious matter to find the official family, you, okay?

As a result, you actually asked us to guess which famous artist the painting came from.Faint Lord! ...

In his heart he yelled at the emperor, but on the surface, Wu Zhizhong saluted the official with a smile and came to stand in front of the painting.

He soon noticed the clue, because at one angle of the painting, a young man was bowing down respectfully, as if he was worshiping the immortal.

Wu Zhizhong felt a little familiar with the young man's costume and the crown belt, as if he had seen it somewhere before.

Out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of the official's complacent expression, and then looked at the handwriting on it, Wu Zhizhong's eyes lit up immediately.

Before, he felt that the two strategies he was going to present might be [-] to [-]% sure that the officials would implement them, but now, Wu Zhizhong felt that he was at least [-]% sure.

Wu Zhizhong looked at the official Zhao Ji who came over with a face full of shock, his tone was full of disbelief.

"Could it be that this is the painting of Xiao Gao Zhuangyuan?"

"As expected of Wu Aiqing, she has sharp eyes. Yes, this painting is exactly Xiao Gao's handwriting."

The official Zhao Ji couldn't help laughing, stroking his short beard and nodding to admit Wu Zhizhong's guess.

Wu Zhizhong shook his head in disbelief, speaking half-truthfully.

"Xiao Gao Zhuangyuan is so talented, not only calligraphy has been passed down by His Majesty, but even calligraphy and painting can have this attainment, it really makes the old minister feel ashamed..."

"Is it really the work of the champion?"

Chen Shilang stared straight at this masterpiece, and shook his head in disbelief for a long time.

This can no longer be called talent, this is simply a miracle, okay? At the age of more than ten years old, calligraphy is so sophisticated, and even painting art has such a skill.

Coupled with his various achievements since he became an official, Chen Shilang really understood a truth.

A child prodigy like Gao Zhang, who only emerges once in hundreds of years, is indeed beyond comprehension by ordinary people, and it is even more incomparable.

Wu Zhizhong and Chen Shilang praised this masterpiece for a while, which really made the officials happy and refreshed.

The little emotions that were disturbed because of artistic creation before also disappeared.

"The two lovers are here to find me at this time, what is the urgent matter?"

The official Zhao Ji took a sip of the black tea soup, although he prefers Longfengtuan tea.

However, the official family still likes to enjoy the filial piety of the beloved disciple from time to time for the sweet black tea that the disciple gave to warm his stomach.

#####
At this moment, Wu Zhizhong decided to put aside the previously prepared words and go straight to the point.

"Actually speaking, this matter has a lot to do with that little Gao Zhuangyuan. The veteran dare not be professional, so I came here to ask to see the official..."

"speak."

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw the relaxed and happy official in front of him, and his expression suddenly became serious.

"Yes..." The treacherous and cunning Wu Zhizhong was also secretly happy, and immediately began to talk about the time when he and Chen Shilang were busy with the provincial imperial examination this spring.

With regard to the current grand occasion of the imperial examination in the Song Dynasty and the bloated organization, the disadvantages of redundant officials with overstaffed people are a headache.

"It just so happens that the little Gao Zhuangyuan, who is erudite and unparalleled in wisdom, was conferred the post of Hanlin because of his meritorious service."

"Therefore, the old minister and Chen Shilang went to Gaofu to congratulate Xiao Gao Zhuangyuan, and happened to talk to Xiao Gao Zhuangyuan about the disadvantages of my redundant officials in the Song Dynasty..."

"Unexpectedly, Xiao Gao Zhuangyuan thought that there was a certain relationship between the redundant officials of the Song Dynasty and the prosperity of the Song Dynasty."

"The veteran was not convinced at first, and argued with him. Xiao Gao Zhuangyuan compared the former Tang Dynasty with my Great Song Dynasty.

Analyzing the reasons for my redundant officials in the Song Dynasty to three points, both the veteran and Chen Shilang have to admit that he is right..."

At this moment, the officials sat up straight and listened carefully to Wu Zhizhong's words.

After a long while, he realized something, and his eyes fell on Wu Zhizhong's face.

"You mean, Xiao Gao also has a good plan to deal with the disadvantages of redundant officials in the Song Dynasty?"

"Exactly, after talking with the old minister and Chen Shilang all night long, Xiao Gao Zhuangyuan was also worried about the shortcomings of my redundant officials in the Song Dynasty, so he offered two strategies..."

"Two strategies? What are the two strategies offered by Xiao Gao? Show me quickly."

"..."

　After receiving the news, I will push it on the 23rd. It just so happens that I will have a rest in the past two days, and it will start on the 23rd.
