The two smiled at each other, seeming to be quite close.
Now that the matter had been settled, Zhang Yu left Han Yu's house.
When Zhang Yu returned to the inn, the two Song brothers were still waiting for him. "How's it going?"
Zhang Yu took a sip of tea and told the two people what had happened.
Song Yingsheng looked at Zhang Yu and said in a deep voice, "Only today do I truly know you."
"Isn't this good? Zhang Yu smiled and said, "This is our chance. From today on, everything will be very different."
Speaking of this, Zhang Yu's face showed a look of longing.
Obviously, Zhang Yu is very fond of and confident in everything he does.
The two Song brothers looked at each other, smiled bitterly and shook their heads, and no one said anything else.
In the Western Garden.
Zhu Youxiao did not go fishing today, but accompanied Empress Zhang in flying kites.
Two people were pulling a huge kite, running and joking.
Empress Zhang's laughter was like a silver bell, and it could be heard from far away.
Chen Hong knew that it was very unwise to disturb the emperor and empress at this time, but he still gritted his teeth and walked quietly towards his own majesty.
Zhu Youxiao glanced at Chen Hong who was walking over and said to Empress Zhang, "We are a little tired after playing. Let's take a break and have some refreshments."
Empress Zhang smiled and nodded. She also knew that something was wrong with Zhu Youxiao.
The two men handed the kite to the eunuch on the side and walked into the pavilion next to them.
Someone had already prepared warm tea here, and there were some snacks on the table next to it.
After sitting down, Zhu Youxiao poured a cup of tea for Empress Zhang and drank it himself. He was indeed a little thirsty.
Looking at Chen Hong approaching, Zhu Youxiao asked, "What's the matter?"
"Your Majesty, there is news about the Song brothers." Chen Hong said hurriedly.
Zhu Youxiao nodded and said with a smile: "Then tell me, what did this pair of brothers do?"
"Your Majesty, they have been very close to Lord Han these days and have also visited Shangbaoqing Feng Congwu. I just received news that Zhang Yu, who is with the Song brothers, seems to want to worship Lord Han as his master." Chen Hong said with a bow.
After hearing this news, Zhu Youxiao frowned.
How did they get together?
However, the truth will soon be revealed, and there is no need to continue investigating. If we continue investigating, it will arouse suspicion.
Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and said, "That's it. Don't worry about them."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Chen Hong quickly agreed and stepped aside to stand.
Zhu Youxiao continued to fly kites with Empress Zhang. The two played until the sun set, then they had dinner together and went to bed together.
The news came out the next day that the Prime Minister of the Cabinet wanted to take in a disciple.
This was a new thing in itself, so everyone started paying attention to Zhang Yu. They all wanted to know what virtue and ability Zhang Yu had to be favored by the prime minister of the cabinet?
You have to know that in the position of the Prime Minister of the Cabinet, you have to be cautious in everything you do. Especially when it comes to taking in disciples, you often have to be very careful, or even not take any disciples at all.
But Han Yu accepted disciples, and did it in a very high-profile manner. The things behind this are worth pondering in depth.
However, for a while, no one got much useful information.
However, there was one person who knew what was going on, and that person was Feng Congwu. He did not expect Han Yu to act so quickly.
That Zhang Yu was really capable. Not only did he convince Han Yu in such a short time, but he also got Han Yu to accept him as his apprentice, and he did it in such a big way.
This is obviously not just accepting an apprentice, or even simply accepting a student, but treating him as a successor.
Feng Congwu didn’t understand this either. How did Zhang Yu do it?
But while he was hesitating, Zhang Yu came to his door.
Feng Congwu realized that Zhang Yu would give him an explanation today.
When he met Zhang Yu, Feng Congwu found that he had not changed at all.
Feng Congwu originally thought that Zhang Yu, as a student of the Prime Minister of the Cabinet, would change a little or become a little more arrogant and domineering.
But Zhang Yu didn't. He looked the same as before, bowing to Feng Congwu with a smile and saying, "Greetings, Mr. Feng."
Zhang Yu did not put himself in a high position, nor did he put Feng Congwu in a low position. He looked calm and composed.
However, Feng Congwu still noticed something. Compared with the previous times, Zhang Yu seemed much calmer.
He smiled and said, "You look so happy, I think there is good news."
"This is indeed good news." Zhang Yu nodded after sitting down and said, "We have already discussed it with Lord Han, or rather, Master Han. My master will recommend Mr. Feng to His Majesty and seek the position of Chief Academic Officer of the Imperial Academy for Mr. Feng."
"Once Mr. Feng takes this position, he will naturally be able to promote our Guanzhong lineage. At that time, Mr. Feng can realize his ambitions."
After taking a deep look at Zhang Yu, Feng Congwu's smile deepened.
He hadn't expected Zhang Yu to actually plot this position for him. He knew exactly how crucial this position was. He also understood one thing: this was a showdown with Xu Guangqi, the Second Assistant Minister of the Cabinet.
Because from the beginning, this matter was presided over by the Ministry of Rites, and the Minister of Rites, Shen Tingyun, was a colleague of Xu Guangqi. The Royal Academy was considered forbidden by them, and now if we were to interfere, it would be like making enemies.
