Wu Zhi didn't talk nonsense without his brain, he knew that Zhao Ji was first an artist who yearned for freedom and bohemianism, and then an emperor. Since he first started talking to Wu Zhi like a good buddy, then Wu Zhi didn't need to worry much at all, just talk to Zhao Ji like a friend, and at this time, being too rigid about etiquette would make Zhao Ji disgusted.

"Oh?"

Zhao Ji was stunned again, but this time he had a childlike smile on his face.

"You say, your Qingzhou Academy is even better than my Tai Academy?" Zhao Ji said with an unconvinced face: "That's Tai College, it's the best college in the whole Song Dynasty, you can tell me, where can your Qingzhou College compare to Tai College?" ”

Zhao Ji completely put down the emperor's shelf, leaned slightly on the table, and was waiting for Wu Zhi's answer with a curious expression.

In fact, looking at the entire Great Song Dynasty, there must be a lot of strange people who can make Zhao Ji like, and according to Zhao Ji's character, he must have talked to others like buddies more than once.

However, in the entire Great Song Dynasty, the only people like Wu Zhi who can immediately climb up the pole, talk to the emperor without any psychological burden, and completely ignore etiquette, are only Wu Zhi and Wang Huang, who grew up with the emperor since childhood.

Needless to say, he and the emperor are iron buddies.

And the reason why Wu Zhi can be like this is mainly due to the fact that he has received advanced education from later generations since he was a child, and he does not have the deep-rooted hierarchy and the supremacy of imperial power in the hearts of Song people, especially scholars, in his mind, so when the emperor puts down his shelf and chats with him, he will naturally only treat the emperor as a big brother and talk about it or something.

On the other hand, the scholars of the Great Song Dynasty, even if the emperor completely put down the shelves, the scholars did not dare to be too unruly, let alone......

"My Qingzhou College is better than Tai College everywhere!"

Wu Zhi glanced at Zhao Ji leisurely, and continued to analyze one by one: "First of all, my Qingzhou College is larger than Tai College, Qingzhou College has a total of nine branches, each branch covers an area of more than 100 acres, and the smallest Qingzhou Academy of Fine Arts is more than half the size of Tai College; Secondly, my Qingzhou College also accepts more students, and now it has accepted more than 30,000 students......"

Saying that, Wu Zhi approached Zhao Ji and said with a smug smile: "I don't know how many students there are in Your Majesty's Tai Academy?" ”

Zhao Ji frowned and replied in a low voice: "Less than 10,000 people......"

In fact, it was good to have three, five or eight thousand people in the heyday of Tai Academy.

"However, the purpose of the academy is to cultivate talents, even if you have a lot of people, what can you do? How many talents will be useful to the imperial court and the Great Song Dynasty in the future? ”

Speaking of this, Zhao Ji finally regained some face, indeed, the students can get the best education, and they all have privileges, they don't need to participate in the imperial examination, and the officials can directly select qualified students to give them official positions.........

"That's the last point I'm going to make." Wu Zhi smiled without showing weakness and said: "The content of our Qingzhou College is extremely rich, astronomy and geography, qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, all the sons and hundreds of schools of thought teach everything, and the students are all diligent and studious, whether they participate in the imperial examination or join the WTO in the future, they will definitely not be worse than the students of Taizhou College!" ”

"Snort~"

As soon as Wu Zhi's words fell, Zhao Ji immediately laughed disdainfully: "Aiqing, what you said is all in the future, and you are not a living immortal, how can you calculate accurately, your Qingzhou students must be able to compare with my students?" ”

Seeing Zhao Ji take the bait, Wu Zhi immediately looked at him provocatively and said, "Your Majesty is willing to make a bet with your subordinates?" ”

"Bet?"

Zhao Ji's eyes showed a little excitement that could not be concealed, bet well, he hasn't bet with others for decades!

"I think you're going to bet with me that your Qingzhou students will be stronger than my Tai students in all aspects, right?"

"It's exactly to bet on this, I wonder if Your Majesty dares to bet with me?"

"Why don't you dare?"

Zhao Ji waved his hand, quite proud, as if he bet that this little thing was a great thing in his opinion.

"What's the stake?"

Zhao Ji asked, since it is a bet, it is natural to have a bet.

"Your Majesty, you decide." Wu Zhi said respectfully, "As long as the minister wins His Majesty, it will be better than any bet!" ”

Li Yan on the side glanced at Wu Zhi with deep respect.

Another sycophant...... The highest level of sycophant is nothing more than this, quietly, all the time makes the leader feel that you are chatting with him at will, or talking about business, and then coldly a very hidden and appropriate sycophant, the leader guarantees that he will immediately flutter and get carried away.

"Hahaha! How can that be, isn't that too boring? ”

Zhao Ji's eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked very enjoyable.

"In this way, if you win, no matter what official position you have at that time, I will also give you the official position of the head of the Tai Academy, and you will manage the Tai Academy for me!" Zhao Ji looked at Wu Zhi, suddenly smiled, and continued: "But if you lose, your Qingzhou Academy will be mine!" I personally came to be the dean and manage Qingzhou College for you! ”

When Wu Zhi heard Zhao Ji's bet, his heart suddenly blossomed, this bet is not a loss!

First of all, although the official position of Tai Academy is not too high, it is an extremely important official position in the literary circle of the Song Dynasty officialdom.

If Wu Zhi wins the bet, even if he is too upright for a few days, it will be enough for him to be stunned for a lifetime.

But if Wu Zhi loses the bet, it is actually better! This means that the first president of Qingzhou Academy is His Majesty the Emperor!

In one fell swoop, the coercion of Qingzhou College was lifted to the sky, and the emperor personally served as the dean, which was an honor that the Taizhou Academy had never enjoyed!

"Good! A gentleman's word! ”

Wu Zhi was afraid that Zhao Ji would regret it, so he immediately stretched out his palm to him.

Syllable!

"It's hard to chase a horse!"

Zhao Ji swore with joy and Wu Zhi with heavy high-fives, and said the next sentence.

He actually doesn't care about whether the bet suffers a loss, he only cares about the bet itself, for him, he is already very happy to have someone to bet with him, he used to give away all kinds of high-ranking officials and lords of the first and second grades at will with a wave of their hands, without blinking their eyes, and the glory of these official positions promised to Wu Zhi is actually just a drizzle.

————

This time he entered the palace and got along with the emperor with unexpected success, and then Wu Zhi discussed the painting technique with the emperor, and then left the palace in the reluctant eyes of the emperor's eldest brother.

After leaving the palace, Wu Zhi was overjoyed, but a little embarrassed.

I am glad that after this meeting and exchange, the relationship between him and Zhao Ji has been fixed as friends, and the kind of relationship that is closer to Jane's courtiers in the emperor's heart means that Wu Zhi will be able to play with the emperor in the future!

And the embarrassment is because...... It's really good to get along with my future father-in-law as a buddy?

How can you feel at ease with the daughter of your buddies in the future?

…………

Not long after Wu Zhi left the palace, the details of his entry into the palace this time had already been known by the giants of the DPRK and China, and many people could already foresee the result of Wu Zhi's use of painting skills to curry favor with the emperor, but what made them feel incredible was that Wu Zhi actually made a bet with the emperor as soon as he entered the palace, which was really not simple!

What the bigwigs care about is not the bet, but the bet with the emperor itself, which means that when Wu Zhi first saw the emperor, he had already established an extraordinary relationship with the emperor, which is really... It's amazing!

"This martial arts plant is really not to be underestimated, and we will have to do more in the future!"

People obviously have a high opinion of the man who can bet with the emperor.

Of course, in a luxurious mansion, there was also a person who broke the teacup in his hand with an angry face when he heard the news.

"Don't think that you can sit back and relax after you can shoot the official's sycophant!"
