Zhang Dun soon heard about what happened in Chui Gong Hall.

Then, he immediately beamed with joy: "Ziping finally gets a chance to display his talents!"

This is not only happy for Zhang Heng, but also happy for himself.

Zhang Heng was appointed as the Minister of Household Affairs and was highly valued by the officials.

In other words...

The opportunity for Zhang Zihou to leave Guangxi has come!

According to the system: in principle, father and son, brothers, sons-in-law, and in-laws cannot serve as ministers in the same court.

Of course, principles will always be broken.

After so many years, there are no longer so many restrictions.

As long as they are not in the same capital hall or in the same official office.

Then if nothing happens, everything will be fine.

Of course, the price is that if something happens, this will be ready-made evidence of crime!

Therefore, Zhang Dun's joy is obvious - is there any better reason than to avoid suspicion and invite the county?

He immediately began to write letters to other counties behind closed doors.

As soon as he picked up the pen, Zhang Dun hesitated.

"No...no..."

If you can't wait to submit a letter to ask for information, any fool will know that Zhang Zihou is targeting Guangxi.

So offending!

It is also easy to teach others what to do - the things that happened when he was young will be dug up and told.

After Zhang Dun became an official, he had already suffered enough because of the things he did out of enlightened ideas or unruly when he was young.

It is for this reason that he pays special attention to his own image and demeanor.

He was afraid that people would open up old scores and criticize him with those old things.

"I can't do this on my own!" Zhang Dun thought, "And I can't do it right away..."

"You must leave two days to spare before asking someone to impeach me..."

When encountering impeachment, it is only reasonable to submit a letter to the county to petition the county.

At the same time, he also avoided getting into grudges with Li Qingchen.

This is how it is in officialdom. Sometimes, as long as there is a step down, many things can actually be avoided.

If you don't even prepare a step for others.

So, even if the other party doesn't have an opinion, he may have an opinion now.

Li Qingchen is not simple!

He was a student of Li Gou and a close minister of the late emperor - he was promoted from Hanlin bachelor to ruler.

Therefore, Li Qingchen and Deng Runfu, now a Hanlin scholar, were close friends.

If we insist on dividing them, they are two factions within the New Party.

As for Zhang Dun?

He is also a faction within the New Party.

However, he is one of a kind!

Like Zhang Dun, there is Lu Huiqing!

Lu Huiqing offended too many people, so he was forced to live alone.

Zhang Dun is because of pride, that kind of pride in his bones, and that kind of extremely strong competitive spirit!

In the second year of Jiayou's imperial examination, he came in eighth place. Because Zhang Heng passed the examination for the manor, he immediately gave up his honor and did not participate in the conferment of officials, and prepared for the next imperial examination.

In the fourth year of Jiayou's reign, he ranked first in Kaifeng Prefecture and fifth in Jinshi.

This is barely satisfactory!

In order to win over Su Shi on the immortal lake, he walked alone on the decaying single-plank bridge and leisurely climbed up to the Purple Pavilion - Zizhan, who is the uninhibited scholar-bureaucrat now?

Su Shi was stunned!

But now Zhang Dun is in trouble.

He doesn't form any cliques and keeps aloof from everyone.

He is so proud that even many people in the New Party don't really like him.

Li Qingchen, Zhang Hong, An Tao, plus Han Zhen who went to Suzhou, and Cai Que who returned to his hometown to enjoy the scenery.

They are all at odds with him both face to face and heart.

Naturally, there was no one of him in the Yushitai.

Most people are just casual acquaintances.

So much so that now, even if I want to find someone to impeach, I can't find one.

This made Zhang Dun distressed.

When Zhang Dun was distressed, his son Zhang Chi knocked on the door: "Sir..."

"Come in!"

Zhang Chi walked in wearing a green robe, bowed to Zhang Dun, and said, "I'm here to inform you, sir. I just sent someone from the palace to inform you that I asked you to prepare your role and send it to the General Department..."

Zhang Dun was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then he remembered.

The officials said last year that Zhang Chi would be asked to read it as a companion during the banquet after the new year.

It is said that now, the official family has selected several companion readers.

As far as Zhang Dun knew, his son Zhang Chi was the first.

Then, Han Yu, the grandson of Zuo Xiang Kang Guogong, was second.

Lu Haowen, the grandson of Duke Shen, the right minister, was the third one.

In addition, the official family also ordered Yan Yi, the youngest son of the palace commander Yanda, to accompany the military ministers in reading.

In addition, several children from the Gao family and the Xiang family, who are about the same age as the official family, were also selected as study companions.

Of course, this is both honor and grace.

There may be some risks involved in studying with the prince.

You can study with the emperor, and the emperor will personally govern in the future. These are the emperor's personal team.

Therefore, people inside and outside the court were jealous.

Jealous?

Jealousy is good!

Zhang Dun now wishes that the more people who are jealous of him, the better.

Taking the silk paper presented by Zhang Mochi, Zhang Dun wrote the three generations of Zhang Mochi on it according to the pattern of the characters, and finally signed his name and stamped his personal seal.

After finishing this matter, Zhang Dun returned the silk paper to Zhang Chi and said to him: "I will order someone to send it to the Tongjian Department. As usual, the bronze talisman and palace records will be issued in three to five days."

"Thank you, sir!" Zhang Chi bowed again and was about to leave.

But he was stopped by Zhang Dun.

"Chi'er, don't be too busy and leave..."

Zhangchi stopped and looked at his father.

"Is the Wazi in Bianjing City still as lively as before?" Zhang Dun asked.

Zhang Chi was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head and said, "I don't know what you are talking about?"

Zhang Dun chuckled.

Once you step into the colorful world of Bianjing City, no one can resist.

Zhang Dun himself was young, so naturally he would not believe Zhang Chi's denial.

But he didn't want to expose it, he just warned: "Hurry up and enjoy the last happy time!"

"When you get to the emperor, you will never have a chance again!"

At that time, the three Han Jiang brothers were famous for their dissolute behavior in Bianjing City.

But after they became the late emperor's ministers and joined the army, they all obediently became Taoist teachers who knew etiquette and observed etiquette.

What's more, what Zhang Chi wants to do now is to be the Emperor's companion!

Moreover, he is also the companion of the emperor who has high hopes both inside and outside the court!
