Chapter 193: The Divine Stick



One studied seriously and the other taught carefully, and before they knew it, it was time to light the lamps.

Chu Hong lit several red candles as thick as his arms, lighting up the living room.

"Your Majesty, I am exhausted and would like to resign." Cai Jing was old after all, and he could not sit still any longer, so he stood up and said goodbye.

Zhao Ji looked at the sky outside and said with a smile: "Since the weather has become so bad, I will not keep Yuan Chang here. Let Shoudao see you off."

Cai Jing bowed with difficulty, and with the support of Chu Hong, he walked out of the study tremblingly.

Zhao Ji glanced at Wang Fu and Li Bangyan and said, "You two should go too. I still need to discuss zither art with Zhang Shixun."

The two actually wanted to stay with him, but after hearing what Zhao Ji said, they knew that he wanted to talk to Zhang Shixun alone, so they didn't want to keep him, so they had to say goodbye and leave in disappointment.

When they were the only two left in the room, Zhao Ji asked him, "When did you offend Wang Fu?"

"Your Majesty, I have only had a few arguments with his son." Seeing this was an opportunity, Zhang Shixun took the opportunity to recount what had happened between him and Wang Hongfu, emphasizing that Wang Fu had taken a fancy to Sun Sansi and sent people to cause trouble.

"Wang Fu is an important official in the court. You are far inferior to him in terms of qualifications and position. In the future, if you are not good enough, try not to fight with him. You can't beat him with your arms." After listening to this, Zhao Ji only said this.

Zhang Shixun felt unhappy when he heard this.

Damn it, you are obviously taking sides.

"Wang Fu was castrated by thieves to protect me from disaster. If he did something out of line, I wouldn't be able to say anything. Do you understand me?"

"I understand what the official means. Don't worry. Although I am dull, I still know the hierarchy. If he bullies me, I will endure it."

Zhang Shixun's tone was full of grievance.

"Of course, if he goes too far, you can tell me and I will definitely reprimand him."

"Thank you, sir."

Zhao Ji continued to chat for a while, and finally asked: "Shixun, are you hiding something about that book?"

It was really difficult for Zhao Ji to wait so long before asking.

"This..." Zhang Shixun pretended to be surprised and asked, "Your Majesty, you... you figured it out?"

Zhao Ji raised his chin slightly and asked with a double meaning, "What do you think?"

"Your Majesty is wise!" Zhang Shixun flattered him: "Your Majesty has a sharp eye and can see it at a glance."

Zhao Ji was very pleased with himself and said, "As soon as you stick out your tail, I know what kind of shit you are doing."

Damn it! Such vulgar words shouldn't come from the emperor's mouth.

Zhao Ji did not wait for his answer and continued, "Shixun, they are all gone, and there are no outsiders here. Tell me the truth, what is in the book..."

Just as he said this, Liang Shicheng came back. Zhao Ji stopped and said to Liang Shicheng, "Shicheng, please wait outside for a while. I want to ask Zhang Shixun something."

Liang Shicheng agreed, glanced at Zhang Shixun, and walked out of the study.

Zhang Shixun approached Zhao Ji and said in a low voice, pretending to be mysterious: "Your Majesty, the secrets of heaven cannot be revealed. There are some things that should not be known to others."

When Zhao Ji heard the word "heavenly secret", his eyes suddenly lit up, and he lowered his voice and asked, "Could it be that, Shixun, you have...?"

"Your Majesty, I do have some secrets of the immortals that are not passed on, but... but..." Zhang Shixun said, pondering.

"Just what?" Zhao Ji was anxious, and it showed on his face.

Zhang Shixun was pressed and finally answered hesitantly, "I'm just afraid that if I tell you, I'll be punished by God."

"This..." Zhao Ji was itching to say it, but people said that revealing the secret would lead to punishment from heaven, so he couldn't force him to say it.

Zhang Shixun secretly observed his expression and made up his mind.

"The king's power is granted by Heaven, and I receive my mandate from Heaven. If you only tell me, you should not be punished by Heaven." Zhao Ji finally found a plausible reason.

Zhang Shixun pondered for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "Well, even if it means being punished, I will reveal some of the secrets in the book to Your Majesty."

Zhao Ji was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "Quick! Tell me quickly."

Zhang Shixun's face turned serious. He said, "I'm not just telling you this, I'm showing it to His Majesty."

"Can I read that book?" Zhao Ji asked anxiously.

"Hmm! The Book of Heaven."

"Heavenly Book?"

"Yes, the Heavenly Book is not the kind of book we read every day. It not only has text, but also audio and video."

"Sound and image?" Zhao Ji's curiosity was completely aroused.

"The so-called audio-visual is sound and image. You can hear the sound and see the image."

"Ah! Can I hear and see?" Zhao Ji opened his mouth wide with an exaggerated expression.

"Hmm! There is a passage in the heavenly book that describes war, a brutal war. I think Your Majesty needs to read it."

Zhao Ji was impatient and said, "Quickly take it out and let me see it."

"Your Majesty, not right now, maybe tomorrow."

"Tomorrow? Why not today?"

"Because I need to edit the images, some of the things involving you can't be..."

Zhang Shixun looked at Zhao Ji and thought: It's a pity that I don't have any film or television works about you. Otherwise, if I showed you the footage of the Jurchens conquering Kaifeng and you being captured by the Jurchens in Wuguo City, you would definitely be scared to death.

"And my...my things?" The muscles on Zhao Ji's face twitched a few times.

"Um!"

"You know my...my..." Zhao Ji asked stutteringly.

"It is because I know something that I have traveled thousands of miles back to my homeland, hoping to help the government resolve the crisis."

What I meant was, I came back just for you, and it's up to you to repay this favor.

"Ah! Am I in danger?"

"Yes, in two years."

Zhao Ji broke out in a cold sweat and asked hurriedly, "What danger am I in?"

"Wait until I bring the heavenly book to you the day after tomorrow, and then you can read it yourself."

Zhao Ji believed in Taoism and called himself the Taoist Emperor. After he became emperor, he worshipped many Taoists, the most famous of whom were Wang Laozhi, Lin Lingsu, etc. These guys often deceived and cheated him.

There are a huge number of videos in the smart system. We pick out the useful ones, edit them, and use them to scare Zhao Ji, hoping that he will be more restrained in the future and do less meaningless things.

However, this matter requires the use of a notebook, and I need to discuss it with Wang Dong.

If Wang Dong doesn't agree to lend me the notebook, I can just use my cell phone as a second choice.

Although the phone screen is a bit small, it is sufficient.

Zhang Shixun really wants to know what people of this generation would think if they could see mobile phones and videos?

One thing is certain, when Zhao Ji saw those vivid images, he would definitely think that they came from heaven.

Then, Zhang Shixun's identity becomes clear.

Let Zhao Ji make his own associations, since his ability to associate is extremely strong anyway.

Zhang Shixun suddenly found that he seemed to be turning into a charlatan, the biggest charlatan in the history of the Song Dynasty.
