It was already in the shift, and it was dark in the morning, but the middle hall of the Tongfu was brightly lit, gathering more than a dozen guests, and many house slaves were shuttling to deliver the best wine and food to their cases one by one, and soon the wine tables were full.

Tong Guan, who was sitting at the top, only raised his wine glass at this time and smiled at Sun Tu, who was sitting not far from him, and said, "Sun Tu, you have made a big face for the old man today. Come, the old man toasts you with a glass of wine, congratulations on your ability to be an official today, and he has a long journey in the future! ”

Sun Tu hurriedly raised his wine and got up, not even daring, so he drank all the wine in the cup. The other guests on the side were not much surprised by this, because in just half a day later, the incident that happened in the third class courtyard had been spread to everyone, and everyone knew that Sun Tu had indeed performed very well this time, making Tong Shuai have a long face in front of the emperor.

After putting down the wine glass, Sun Tucai said modestly: "I know that I can have today's appreciation of Tong Shuai, if you hadn't recommended me to participate in today's shooting test court, it would have been impossible for me to be awarded an official at all." ”

"That being said, it's up to you. This time, the old man recommended three people to participate in the shooting test, but in the end, you were the only one who could win the office, this is your ability. Tong Guan said bluntly: "What's more, it is even more rare for you to answer reasonably in front of the saint." The old man believes that maybe your name can be recorded by the saint on the screen on the left hand side of the side hall of the Chongzheng Palace, and it is really promising. ”

Sun Tu couldn't hear anything about this, but the others showed envy, this is what many middle and low-level officials hope to happen to them.

There has always been a saying in the officialdom of Tokyo, because there are many opportunities in the day, and a large number of government affairs and the names of subordinates are contacted every day, and it is impossible for the Great Song Dynasty officials to remember all these names, so he will deliberately record the names of the ministers who left a deep impression on him and thought that they could be entrusted with important tasks in the future, and wrote them on the screen on the left side of the side hall of the Chongzheng Palace. Correspondingly, on the screen on the right, events and people that the emperor found difficult are written - such as Song Jiang and Fang La, who have appeared on Zhao Ji's screen.

For a courtier, whether he can make the emperor remember himself is too crucial, once the emperor has an impression of himself, then in the future there will be many more opportunities for promotion and meritorious service than ordinary people. And now, Sun Tu, a newcomer who has just passed the shooting test of the palace and has not even obtained the official letter, has been able to be reduced to the emperor's heart, how can this honor not make people envy and yearn for it?

Knowing that his future must be bright, and he has to be appreciated by Tong Guan, those officials kept praising him in a playful way, and one of them even exclaimed: "Sun Tu, don't say anything else, just the song you sang today is enough to make you famous." This lyrics and song is that the lower officials also feel enthusiastic when they hear it, and they can't wait to go to the battlefield now to make contributions to our Great Song Dynasty, if it is transmitted to the army, it will be able to greatly boost the morale of the army. You can be a hundred thousand heroes! ”

Sun Tu didn't expect that the lyrics and songs would spread so quickly, and even the officials who were not on the scene knew about it in just half a day, which surprised him. In fact, this is his underestimation of today's heavy literary atmosphere, as long as there are good poems in the world, even if it is just word of mouth, it can always spread in a short period of time, which is why there is a saying that there is Liu Yongci wherever there is well water.

What's more, this poem has won Zhao Ji's approval, so that the officials of the DPRK and China will naturally understand and grasp it, because in this way they can narrow the distance between themselves and the Son of Heaven.

After Sun Tu said a few words modestly and emphasized once again that this song was not composed by himself, Tong Guan also said: "If you really want to talk about it, the effect of this song is much heavier than what Sun Tu said and did before." So you can be regarded as having made a contribution in front of the saints. ”

These words made Sun Tu a little confused, how could a song and song still make meritorious contributions? At this time, Fang Qian opened his mouth to explain: "Sun Tu, you don't know something, this dynasty attaches great importance to literary affairs, especially poetry, and is even more liked by hundreds of officials in the court. In some political affairs, those civil officials in power will make poems to sing and reiterate, so as to win the support of more people.

"However, the strategy of the Northern Expedition to seize the sixteen states of Yanyun that His Majesty hopes to achieve is rarely spoken. Even if we have a heart, but in terms of poetry, we are far inferior to those scholars who are better than literature and ink, even if we put together some words, it is easy for them to accuse them of mistakes, not only is it difficult to be brilliant, but they will laugh and be generous.

"But the song you sang today is no worse than those written by literati in terms of rhythm and style, or affection, although it is not as good as Xiaosu, but it is enough to spread all over the world. This word will surely make the voice of the Northern Expedition of Xitu and others proclaimed, and it is not an exaggeration to say that you can be a hundred thousand soldiers. ”

And such a statement? After listening to Fang Qian's explanation, Sun Tu didn't know how to react. He can understand the heavy text of the Great Song Dynasty, but he can't accept the fact that a poem can affect foreign policies. At that time, when he chanted Man Jianghong, he was just trying to fulfill the lies he told, why did he make things bigger?

"Well said, in the old man's opinion, we just seized this opportunity to make a statement to the sage and prepare for the Northern Expedition as soon as possible." Tong Guan also took advantage of the situation to glance at these henchmen in front of him and said.

It seems that in the past two days, the DPRK and China will turn up again, and the main battle and the main and the two factions will have a good fight.

Of course, none of this has much to do with Sun Tu at this time, and now he is most concerned about his official arrangement. And Tong Guan naturally won't ignore this: "Sun Tu, do you have any thoughts about joining the official this time?" ”

This is the difference between a powerful minister like Tong Guan and a civil official, even if the latter has the intention to promote someone, he will only make his own arrangements, instead of asking the other party's requirements so directly. Sun Tu was not polite, and emphasized again: "Xiaguan felt that the combat strength of my Great Song army was worrying as early as when he was in Yuncheng County, so he had the intention to go to the army to train an elite. I just don't know who I am now, can I have such an opportunity? ”

"You really have some ambition, the old man will figure out a way to deal with this matter, and he will give you a satisfactory answer at that time." Tong Guan has a big package and should accept the road. Thinking that as a privy envoy, it is really not too difficult for him to insert Sun Tu'an into a certain place to train troops.

Hearing this assurance, Sun Tu was immediately overjoyed, and hurriedly got up again to thank him. Tong Guan was even more interested, and asked, "Besides, do you have any other requirements?" This time, you have made a big face for the old man, as long as you ask for something, the old man will be satisfied with you. Also, you are about to become an official, so you can't do without the table, have you ever had it before? ”

The so-called name actually has two meanings, one is the name, and the other is the word. The former is born and is mostly given by parents, while the latter can only be owned after studying or after having an official, and most of them are born by teachers. The latter is a symbol of a man's status, and it is impossible for ordinary mediocre people to have their own expressions.

Sun Tu shook his head, as a traverser, how could he pay attention to such details. Tong Guan immediately said: "Then let the old man give you a table." Your famous journey, there are clouds in Lao Tzu's Tao Te Ching, the journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, how about the old man send you a word for a thousand miles? ”

When everyone heard this, their faces changed slightly, compared to Tong Guan, who didn't seek to understand much and didn't remember clearly enough, many other people remembered this sentence, but it was "a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step", although the meaning is similar, but there is no road word at all.

However, these people did not dare to directly point out Tong Guan's negligence, and Sun Tu didn't notice this at all, so he immediately thanked him: "Thank you Tong Shuai for giving me the word, and the next official will be called Sun Qianli in the future." ”

"Hahaha...... I hope your ambition can be as good as your words. Tong Guan smiled happily, and then said again: "Qianli, do you still have any needs?" ”

Sun Tu originally wanted to say that he had no other requirements, but then he remembered Lin Chong's matter, so he took the opportunity to say: "Xiaguan really has something I hope Tong Shuai can help." I have a friend who is in a difficult situation because he offended Captain Gao Yu before, so he thinks he can be transferred out of Tokyo and go elsewhere. I wonder if Tong Shuai can help him this time? As he spoke, he simply told Lin Chong's identity.

"Lin Chong, the head of the forbidden army...... The old man had indeed heard of this person, and it seemed that this person's martial arts skills were quite good. Tong Guan said after trying to recall.

Sun Tu took the opportunity to say: "This Lin sect leader is indeed good at martial arts, and Xia Guan has consulted him many times before, and he has benefited a lot. It is also because of his guidance that I can perform like this in the shooting test court today. ”

After thinking about it for a while, Tong Guan nodded and responded to the matter: "Okay, the old man will transfer him out of Tokyo as you wish, and you let him wait for the news, and it will be done in less than half a month." Although this may cause Gao Yu to be unhappy, he didn't take it seriously.

After Sun Tu got the guarantee, his heart suddenly made up his mind, and he hurriedly thanked him again. And his request won the favor of many people present, because what he asked for was not his own future, but for his friends, and such a person was naturally easier to gain the trust of others.

Afterwards, everyone pushed the glass and changed the cup again, and the wine was happy, until it was nearly three watches, and everyone said goodbye to Tong Guan drunkenly and left. This banquet to celebrate Sun Tu's entry into the government finally came to an end......

&&&&&

Well, in fact, it was the passer-by himself who remembered it wrongly, and remembered that the journey of a thousand miles began with a single step and became a journey of a thousand miles。。。。。 But it's okay for Tong Guan to take the pot on his back, right?

And the word "Chisa" doesn't seem to be bad。。。。。。
