The evening feast dispersed, and Zhao Zhen of Renzong slowly disappeared at the end of the road while sitting on the dragon chariot, and countless armored soldiers escorted him.

Everyone saw each other off at the door, and then the other royal children also began to go home one after another, and they would say goodbye to Zhao Yunrang one by one before going home.

After everyone left, Gan Qicai stepped forward to say goodbye to Zhao Yunrang.

Zhao Yunrang saw Gan Qi, there was a lot of smile on his face, and he said: "Dao Jian is a talented person, and he will be a pillar of the court in the future." ”

"The prince has won the award, and the younger generation is really not a pillar of great talent." Gan Qi said modestly.

But seeing Zhao Yunrang raise his hand, he said, "Zongshi, come, come and send Dao Jian." ”

Zhao Zongshi hurriedly stepped forward, raised his hand to make an invitation, and said, "Dao Jian, I'll give you a ride." ”

Gan Qi was about to refuse, but after thinking about it, he still didn't say anything, but also raised his hand to ask.

At this time, Gan Qi has a lot of understanding in his heart, the royal matter, after all, is not so simple, political competition, now it seems that the surface is calm, in fact, under the table, where is it so simple?

Where is it that simple?

It is the arrangement that Zhao Yunrang asked Zhao Zongshi to personally send Gan Qi contains many deep-seated meanings.

What kind of character is Zhao Zongshi? What kind of character is Zhao Yunrang?

Why did Zhao Yunrang ask Zhao Zongshi to send Gan Qi in person? Naturally, it also has the meaning of closeness, friendship, and solicitation. Zhao Zongshi is now the most powerful contender for the throne, how can he not have some team around him? Don't have some real help?

Zhao Zongshi needs smart people, talented people, and people's help and assistance.

Zhao Yunrang's arrangement, this is already the meaning, if Gan Qi responded, once Zhao Zongshi became the prince in the future, Gan Qi would be a subordinate official of the East Palace beside Zhao Zongshi, and he would give advice to Zhao Zongshi, and then in the future, if Zhao Zongshi ascended the throne, Gan Qi would be a hero from the dragon.

Of course, what is to come is what is to come. Zhao Yunrang is helping his son plan for the future, and Zhao Zongshi also understands Zhao Yunrang's thoughts.

Gan Qi, just pretending not to understand, asked Zhao Zongshi to walk in front, and he walked behind, as well as a group of frames and the sound of cow hooves pulling the old cow, the frame was loaded with those drama props, as well as Li Yisleeve, Xiao Jiunu and others, and there were many guards in the palace.

"Dao Jian is going to Taixue this time, but what are your plans?" Zhao Zongshi asked.

"I don't have any plans, I'll always be at ease with what happens in the future, just studying, it's the same wherever I read, and I'll take the exam next year." Ganchi replied.

Zhao Zongshi opened his mouth and said: "Dao Firm understands the meaning of the official family, so it is not so simple to go to Taixue." Not to mention that you have a dislike for the person who is too learned, and now the dispute over the style of writing is slowly beginning to be very loud, Bachelor Ouyang has also expressed his attitude in public not long ago, opposing the obscure style of writing, and in Taixue, from students to professors, doctors, Xuezheng, and sacrificial wine, most of them are conservative factions, and it is difficult for Dao Jian to go. ”

Zhao Zongshi was really serious about talking to Gan Qi about Taixue, and it seemed that he also wanted to help Gan Qi with advice.

Gan Qi naturally didn't appreciate it, nodded and said: "Since the officials all support the new style, then I naturally have no worries. ”

Zhao Zongshi smiled when he heard this, and said: "Yes, Dao Jian is right to think so, I was afraid that you would be afraid of this, but I didn't expect that Dao Jian had already seen through it, and the attitude of the official family in this matter is the most important thing." Dao Jian is going, let go of his hands and feet. ”

Gan Qi said again: "If according to what I think, the dispute over the style of writing, why should the official family be so troublesome, since the official family opposes the obscure and obscure text, and a holy decree is issued, isn't it solved?" ”

Zhao Zongshi smiled and said, "As a monarch, where is it so simple to do things?" The controversy over the style of writing is not something that can be done by government decrees, but is quite similar to the controversy of public opinion, which can only be guided, not forced. I think that the official family has already thought about sending someone to Taixue, but there has been no candidate, and it just so happens that you appear at this time, which is just right. ”

Gan Qi nodded when he heard this, but he still thought in his heart, this Great Song Dynasty is still too friendly to scholars, what style of writing is not literary style, what public opinion is not public opinion, when Liu Bang and Zhu Yuanzhang and other emperors ascend the throne, what public opinion is there? Who dares to say more? When Liu Bang peed into the crown of the literati, who dared to force him more?

Do you have to come to find someone to go to Taixue like this, and the emperor himself is looking for someone to go to Taixue? If you don't want to find an official, you have to find a student who has no reputation, but you want this student to firmly support the reform of literary style, and you want this student to be talented himself, which is really troublesome.

"I hope I won't disappoint the officials." Ganchi replied.

Zhao Zongshi patted Gan Qi on the shoulder and said with a smile: "With the talent of Dao Jian, who else can compare to that Taixue?" ”

"The general has won the prize." Gan Qi's sentence is not modest, in fact, Gan Qi also has a little bit of the meaning of being grilled on the fire, Gan Qi is really not so confident in his literary talent or something, after all, Gan Qi is not Su Shi who came out once in a thousand years.

Sometimes selling fame and reputation can really lead to a lot of problems. The reason is how much ability there is, how much responsibility there is. If you become famous and famous, trouble will naturally come to your door, unless Gan Qi can really see through the red dust and don't want anything.

Zhao Zongshi just smiled and waved his hand.

The two chatted and walked, and walked out for two or three miles, before Zhao Zongshi stopped and turned back, which was really courteous. is also that sentence, the Great Song Dynasty was too friendly to literati. Gan Qi's treatment tonight was better than those of the royal family, and in the middle of the night, Zhao Zongshi personally sent him a few miles.

Wake up early and go back to the city.

Gan Qi went to Shengxing Yaxing, Kang Hui waited for several days, and finally looked forward to Gan Qi.

The table was full of tea and snacks, and Kang Hui's smiles were also piled up.

The two exchanged pleasantries a few times, and Kang Hui pointed to the opposite side of the street outside the window and said: "Daguan, you see, it is the Huike Yaxing opposite, they originally only made a living in Dongcheng, but now they have opened the Yaxing opposite our Shengxing, and they continue to lower the price, which is really not moral." The big officials are going to make decisions for me. ”

Gan Qi is here, but he is not here to be wronged, and said with a smile: "Since they are so immoral, why should the shopkeeper Kang be kind to them?" Tomorrow, you will drive the tooth shop to Dongcheng, and also open opposite his house, the price war is just a price war, it depends on who can hold it, right? ”

When Kang Hui heard this, he was slightly embarrassed, and said: "Big officials, you can't do such things in the next place, you are a businessman, you have always talked about rules and morality, a gentleman loves money and takes it in a good way, and only by being harmonious can you make money, everyone talks about the rules, everyone makes a fortune together, if everyone doesn't pay attention to the rules, where can you make money to make a living?" ”

Gan Qi raised his hand and asked, "They disregard morality like this, but whose power is it that they rely on?" ”

When Kang Hui heard this, he waved his hand again and again: "Where do they have any momentum?" If there is momentum, how can he be a piece of the pie by the uncle of the Cao family in the past? ”

Something is wrong, is Gan Qi too young to deceive? Or is Kang Hui too shrewd, thinking that Gan Qi is stunned?

Although Uncle Cao Jiaguo is not a family with authority, he is a relative of the emperor after meritorious service. Whose soup does he want to eat, most of the dignitaries and dignitaries in the city are too lazy to conflict with it, just take a share. At this point, Cao Shan is like a scoundrel among the dignitaries of Bianliang City, others are unwilling to deal with him, and they feel that the gains outweigh the losses when they provoke a scoundrel like Cao Shan for some small profits.

Now that the Cao family has collapsed, people have begun to grab business, how can there be no backstage?

But Kang will insist on saying in front of Gan Qi that there is no backstage? Is this going to use Ganchi as a gunman?

Gan Qi squinted slightly, looked at Kang Hui, and said nothing.
