"As for the Green Crops Law, let's leave it like this for now..." Zhao Xu skipped the procedure of continuing to discuss the Green Crops Law with Zhang Dun.

Once the general direction is determined, all that remains is the details.

As for the details, it is naturally up to the ministers to deal with them.

Otherwise, what should Zaizhi do?

Zhang Dun raised the imperial hut and was about to say goodbye, but Zhao Xu stopped him at this moment.

"Zhang Qing..."

"I heard that Qing Zichi is only a little older than me..."

Zhang Dun lowered his head and replied: "Your Majesty, Quan Zichi is seventeen years old..."

"Only seven years older!" Zhao Xu laughed: "I happen to be short of some companions to study with. I will let you come to the palace next spring and study with me!"

Zhang Dun was a little confused, what was going on?

But the emperor's kindness was so great that he couldn't help but thank him immediately: "I thank your Majesty for your kindness..."

With that said, he was about to refuse.

But Zhao Xu didn't give him a chance at all, and said directly: "You can't refuse, I have made up my mind!"

"Before the menstrual feast resumes in the second month of next year, I will ask you to come to the palace!"

After saying that, Zhao Xu looked at Zhang Dun: "Can you bear the heart, I am studying alone in the palace without anyone to ask for advice?"

Zhang Dun was so speechless that he could only thank him again.

But the anxiety and uneasiness in my heart have been rising.

Because he is too familiar with the Zhao officials.

During the late emperor's time, every time he showed favor to a minister, the minister would inevitably take the blame.

For example, before Han Zhen Xining ceded territory, the late emperor greatly rewarded Han Zhen.

It makes it impossible for Han Zhen not to take the blame - the emperor is willing to bribe you, what's wrong with you, a minister, taking the blame?

Therefore, after the death of the late emperor, Han Zhen was so happy when he heard that he was going to take up another post - finally, he could no longer take the blame, so happy! He immediately resigned and went to Suzhou happily.

Zhang Dun also saw him off.

so……

"Is it my turn now, Zhang Zihou, to take the blame?" Zhang Dun thought, lowering his head and waiting for the official to make his request.

However, after waiting for a long time, the official just sat on the throne and seemed to be exploring him with great interest.

"Your Majesty..." Zhang Dun could only test the words.

"Is there anything else, Zihou?" Zhao Xu asked with a smile.

Zhang Dun raised his head and looked towards the palace.

Although he couldn't see the appearance of the official, he could roughly feel that the official was in a good mood.

Therefore, Zhang Dun could only bow again: "Then I resigned..."

"Um!"

…

Zhang Dun was still confused until he walked out of Zuo Zhaoqing Gate.

Zhao Guanjia actually didn't let him take the blame?

This made Zhang Dun a little uncomfortable.

But when you are polite, you must ask for something! This is something that everyone knows.

Now the official family suddenly extended a favor and asked his son Zhang Chi to accompany him to the palace next year?

This is a sign of Heaven's grace, and it basically predetermines a scholar to pass the Jinshi exam - a companion to the official. If he fails to pass the exam, doesn't it mean that the official himself is also very poor in knowledge?

Who dares!?

And when it comes to the palace examination, if the official is more careful, Zhang Chi's ranking will definitely be mentioned to the top.

Of course, don’t even think about the top three. With that kind of strength, it’s impossible to get into the top three.

However……

Zhang Dun loosened his clothes. He knew that once this matter came up, the government and wild affairs would definitely come fiercely.

Yushitai will not miss this opportunity.

Unless, in the year when Zhang Chizhong became a Jinshi, Zhang Dun was not in the capital.

Thinking of this, Zhang Dun felt like he had guessed it.

"The officials are hinting to me that they may release me to a certain place in the future?"

Where?

Taking into account Zhang Dun's resume, he also considered the official's attitude from beginning to end in front of the ministers of the government and the public.

Zhang Dun can probably guess it.

"If something happens on Guangnan West Road after the New Year..." Zhang Dun thought.

"I will know it!"

Not many ministers in the DPRK are familiar with the South, and even fewer have a sufficient understanding of the South.

With this idea in mind, Zhang Dun returned to the capital hall, met with Han Jiang, and told Han Jiang everything about the meeting.

Han Jiang now became the prime minister, and summoned the two governors together to discuss the emperor's wishes brought back by Zhang Dun.

…

Zhao Xu returned to the palace, changed into casual clothes, and went to Baoci Palace.

I reported to the two palaces about the interview with Zhang Dun.

At the same time, he also talked about letting Zhang Chi enter the palace. The reason was very simple - he heard that Yan Shu accompanied him when he was studying in Renmiao.

Son's name.

Naturally, the two palaces would not take such a trivial matter to heart.

She even suggested to the Empress Dowager: "Sixth brother should really find more people to accompany him in reading, get close to the prime ministers, and honor the ministers. This is the long-term solution!"

With that said, she asked the Empress Dowager: "What do you think, Your Majesty?"

The Queen Mother smiled and nodded: "What the Queen Mother said is true!"

This is a great opportunity!

Arrange all the noble sons and daughters to be with the officials.

In this way, when the officials grow up, they will have feelings for these people and will naturally become close to them.

Zhao Xu will naturally not interfere.

This was even something he had already thought about when he first thought about keeping Zhang Chi by his side.

It is impossible to have only one banquet official, and the same is true for accompanying readers.

For Zhao Xu, this is actually a good thing.

Through the banquet officials, the scholar-bureaucrats were attracted, and through accompanying readings, the noble families were trapped.

Wait until next year to think of a way to master the martial arts aspect.

Basically, it can satisfy his own sense of security.

…

Night falls slowly.

Zhang Dun returned home by car, and his wife Zhang, as usual, led her family early to wait for him at the door.

When he entered the door, Mrs. Zhang personally took off his robe and boots for him.

Looking at Zhang Dun, his eyes stayed on his second son, Zhang Chi.

Mrs. Zhang couldn't help but ask: "Why do you keep looking at Chi'er?"

Zhang Dun held his wife's hand and said, "I'm just thinking about my husband. Chi'er is always at home and rarely goes out, let alone hang out at Wazi Goulan..."

"How did the officials know about him?"

Mrs. Zhang was surprised and asked with concern: "Does the official know about Chi'er?"

"But what did Chi'er do outside?"

He would call Zhang Chi in front of him and scold him.

Zhang Dun quickly pulled Mrs. Zhang and said, "It's a good thing that Madam doesn't have to worry..."

"Today I was ordered to be alone with my husband, but the officials suddenly mentioned Chi'er and asked Chi'er to read to the officials at the sutra banquet next spring!"
