If Zhang Shixun had heard the news of passing the provincial exam a few months ago, he would have been happy, but now he is not excited at all.
The title of Heavenly Master is more effective than anything else. Even the emperor has to be respectful when he sees him.
For example, now, when Zhao Ji saw Zhang Shixun, a smile spread across his face: "Shixun, you broke your promise. That day you promised me to wait a few days before reading it. Several months have passed, and where is the Heavenly Book?"
The emperor calls his subjects by their names, which means he treats them as his closest people.
Zhang Shixun looked calm and did not show any sign of being flattered.
He made up an excuse, "Your Majesty, I have always kept in mind what I promised you, but for the past few months, there has been no content in the Heavenly Book for Your Majesty to see, so..."
"Oh! I see."
A look of disappointment appeared on Zhao Ji's face.
Zhang Shixun smiled secretly in his heart. It was good to have a heavenly book. If he used it, he would be successful in everything. He could fool everyone in the world, and those who were fooled would believe it without a doubt.
Zhao Ji asked: "Is there anything in the Heavenly Book that I can read?"
"have!"
"Great!" Zhao Ji was so excited that his face turned red when he heard it, and he ordered loudly: "Set up the incense table, I want to burn incense."
An old voice replied, "Sir, the incense table has already been set up."
Only then did Zhang Shixun notice that there were several people sitting in the study: Cai Jing, Liang Shicheng, Wang Fu, and Li Bangyan - all of whom were Zhao Ji's favorites.
Zhao Ji had already offered incense, and Zhang Shixun had already turned on his palmtop computer and checked the battery level, which was less than one-fifth.
The day before yesterday, I had planned to play an episode of "Journey to the West" for a group of beauties, but I couldn't resist their sweet talk and ended up playing three episodes at once, consuming more than half of the battery.
"Official, you have half an hour."
Zhang Shixun turned on a song and dance piece and placed it in the middle of the desk.
This is a song and dance clip cut from a costume drama. The scene is grand, the costumes are gorgeous, and most importantly: these actors are all beautiful women.
The makeup used in later generations can transform an old woman into a girl of seventeen or eighteen, and can also transform an ugly person into a beautiful woman with extraordinary beauty.
The artist Zhao Ji had thousands of women in his harem, and he had a very...how to say it, he had a very high appreciation for beauties.
Sure enough, when Zhao Ji saw the beauties in the video, his eyes immediately widened.
Li Bangyan and Gao Qiu standing next to them opened their mouths wide, their eyes as big as cow eggs.
Cai Jing was too old and had long lost interest in women. Even so, he was shocked by the beautiful scenes in the video.
Zhang Shixun sat in the back with his legs crossed, picking up the teacup and drinking slowly.
Halfway through the video, Zhao Ji finally came to his senses and stammered to Zhang Shixun, "Shixun, are they all fairies like Chang'e in the sky... fairies?"
"Yes! They are all fairies, but they are still far behind Chang'e."
Wang Fu had already knelt on the ground without knowing when. "So it's a fairy, no wonder... no wonder!"
Zhang Shixun looked at him with disgust and turned his gaze to Li Bangyan, but this guy was not much better. He was kneeling there muttering to himself, and the lustful look in his eyes was disgusting.
After the video finished playing, Zhao Ji stared at his phone reluctantly and asked without turning his head, "Shixun, is this all the Heavenly Book has?"
Zhang Shixun walked over to check the battery level. Fortunately, it was still good enough to play for a while, so he said, "Your Majesty, there is still one more section, but..."
"But what?"
"This section of the heavenly book is very strange. The scenes in it include both the living world and the underworld, as well as some extraterritorial demonic realms."
"What's wrong with that?"
"There's nothing wrong with it, just a little scary."
The day before yesterday when I went to Gao Laozhuang, Wang Dong specially recommended a pre-edited video, saying that Zhao Ji could watch it, as this video was quite mind-stimulating.
Zhang Shixun was confused. Wang Dong never cared about his own business, so why was he so enthusiastic this time?
I opened the video and saw it.
Wang Dong is probably just bored, so he keeps making some scary scenes, many of which are edited from fantasy or even horror movies.
This is clearly a bad taste, deliberately designed to scare people.
At the time, Zhang Shixun said, "What if Zhao Ji is frightened to death? Although he was a ridiculous emperor, he was a great artist."
Wang Dong said, "If Zhao Ji, an artist, is not frightened, he will definitely not allow you to do whatever you want in the capital."
Zhang Shixun felt a little aggrieved, "I didn't do anything wrong."
"Then you'll do whatever you want!" Wang Dong said, raising his voice. "If you keep following the rules now, by the time the Jin soldiers arrive, it will be too late. Listen to me, just scare him a little."
Zhang Shixun thought about it and felt that what this guy said made sense. He was indeed worrying too much.
Gao Qiu saw Zhang Shixun standing there in a daze and quietly nudged him: "Shixun, the emperor is waiting."
"Oh!" Zhang Shixun realized that he had been distracted. He coughed lightly and asked Cai Jing, "Grandmaster Cai, do you have a doctor in your residence?"
Cai Jing was completely confused. He was eagerly waiting to see the heavenly book, but why did he suddenly ask if there was a doctor?
"Yes! There are quite a few, including the imperial physician, who was specially sent by the government out of sympathy for me."
"Let them wait outside the door."
Zhang Shixun didn't explain either.
"This..." Cai Jing looked at Zhao Ji.
"Cai Qing, just do as Shi Xun says." Zhao Ji was also puzzled, but he was anxious to read the heavenly book and didn't care about so many things.
After several doctors came over, Zhang Shixun glanced at the people in the room, bowed three times solemnly to the handheld computer, and then opened the video.
Not to mention people of this era, even in later generations, people stay away from horror videos. Although they know they are fake, many people dare not watch them.
Except for Gao Qiu, a half-baked warrior, Zhao Ji and the others present were all literati. They were never exposed to blood in their daily lives and had never even seen a chicken being slaughtered.
As soon as the video started, Wang Fu's eyes rolled back and he fell to the ground.
Zhao Ji covered his eyes and trembled all over like a sieve.
The other people's faces were as pale as paper and they were trembling.
The video could not be played any further, so Zhang Shixun walked over and turned it off.
"Your Majesty, are you okay?" Zhang Shixun asked him jokingly.
Zhao Ji was so frightened that his upper and lower teeth were chattering and he couldn't utter a word.
Gao Qiu was braver, and although he was also very frightened, he still knew to go to the door and call the doctor in.
The imperial physician knelt on the ground and felt Zhao Ji's pulse. He raised his head and said, "Your Majesty seems to be frightened, but it's nothing serious."
Over there, Wang Fu woke up after the doctor pinched his Ren Zhong point. His first words after waking up were: "I was so scared!"
