Zhao Ji was speechless. This was someone else's family affair and it was not appropriate for him to interfere.
Zhang Shixun took out his PDA and turned on the flashlight mode.
Zhao Ji and others were startled by the dazzling light.
Zhang Shixun said casually, "This is a small magical power from the Heavenly Book."
Zhao Ji said with some envy: "It is really a magic weapon of the immortals."
"It's fun to play with."
Zhao Ji and his companions were distressed when they heard him say this.
People actually treat the immortals' magic weapons as toys.
Coming to the second floor at the back, Zhang Shixun lit a candle, put away his PDA and put it in his arms.
Zhao Ji then asked, "I wonder if the Heavenly Book can be given to others?"
"No!" Zhang Shixun shook his head.
Zhao Ji sighed and said nothing more.
Zhang Shixun laughed secretly: This old man is really greedy.
He took out the travel bag from under the bed, pulled out the Night-Shining Jade Watermelon, held it in his hands and said, "Sir, this is the Night-Shining Jade Watermelon."
Everyone looked at Ye Zhao Jade Watermelon.
"Sir, look at it, it emits a brilliant green light, symbolizing the springtime vitality of all things. It is tranquil and beautiful. It is a sacred artifact that protects the house. With it, it can protect the peace and comfort of the family."
Zhao Ji took it with his trembling hands, and looked at it greedily in his hands...
Liang Shicheng and others also watched without blinking.
Zhang Shixun blew out the candles to create a more dazzling effect.
The night-shining jade watermelon glows even more dazzlingly in the dark.
"Your Majesty, I am giving you the most precious thing in my family." Zhang Shixun emphasized.
What I mean is, what benefits should you give me?
Zhao Ji said repeatedly: "I know, I know."
"My loyalty to the government and the Song Dynasty is unwavering and will be proven by all the world."
"I am well aware of your loyalty, my dear minister." As Zhao Ji spoke, his eyes never left the Night-Shining Jade Watermelon.
Wang Fu couldn't help but say, "Your Majesty, Zhang Shixun is trying to deceive you."
Zhang Shixun reached out and patted his shoulder. "Old Wang, you're saying such shameless things. It's clearly jealousy at work. You shouldn't have such a mean mentality."
"You...you are shameless, you are a villain." Wang Fu was furious. "How dare you, a mere commander-in-chief, insult me again and again."
"You are shameless and you won't let me say it? Your Majesty, please be fair. I presented you with a priceless treasure, but Prime Minister Wang said that I bewitched you. I am almost killed by him... Otherwise, I will not present this Yezhao Jade Watermelon to you, okay? I cannot bear the charge of bewitching Your Majesty." Zhang Shixun's face was full of grievance.
Zhao Ji's face darkened instantly, and he glared at Wang Fu and asked, "You are a prime minister, why do you always pick on Zhang Shixun?"
"Sir, he has bad intentions, he..."
"Shut up!" Zhao Ji wished he could sew this guy's mouth shut.
Seeing that the emperor was angry, Wang Fu shrank his neck and dared not say another word.
Zhao Ji turned his gaze to Zhang Shixun and said gently, "Although you don't admit that you are the Heavenly Master, you possess the Heavenly Book and possess magical powers. I still regard you as the Heavenly Master... How about this? From today on, I will appoint you as the Imperial Master."
When these words were spoken, everyone present was shocked.
Liang Shiben didn't want to talk, but when he heard that Zhao Ji had appointed Zhang Shixun as the Imperial Preceptor, he tried to dissuade him: "Your Majesty, since the founding of the Song Dynasty by Emperor Taizu, there has never been a concept of an Imperial Preceptor. Please... "
Zhao Ji waved his hand to stop him from continuing, saying, "It wasn't the case before, but it is now. I have made up my mind, and there is no need to persuade me any further."
Zhang Shixun bowed and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
After standing up straight, he looked at Wang Fu deliberately. When his hateful eyes met Wang Fu's, he winked at him, meaning, "I am the Heavenly Master, so don't mess with me in the future."
Zhao Ji handed the Night-Shining Jade Watermelon to Liang Shicheng and said, "Return to the palace!"
As Zhang Shixun escorted them out, he said to Zhao Ji, "Your Majesty, since you have appointed me as the Imperial Preceptor, I cannot let you down. On Lantern Festival night, I will show you an unprecedented and spectacular performance."
"Unprecedented?" Zhao Ji paused. "How is it so wonderful?"
"I will borrow a piece of fairyland from the Heavenly Palace and set it up in front of the Xuande Tower on the Lantern Festival, so that you and hundreds of thousands of people in the capital can witness a visual feast together."
"Are you serious about borrowing this fairyland?" Zhao Ji's voice trembled.
"How dare I make such jokes in front of the emperor?"
Zhao Ji rubbed his hands and said, "Excellent! This is excellent. I'm already looking forward to watching this visual... visual feast."
"I promise not to let you down, but..." Zhang Shixun hesitated here.
"But what?"
"Since we need to borrow a fairyland, then ordinary people cannot control it. Only this humble servant can do it. Therefore, the Shangyuan performance must be under the complete control of this humble servant, and no one can hinder it."
"No problem. You have the final say on the performance on the Lantern Festival." After Zhao Ji said this, he glanced at Wang Fu and others.
Wang Fu wanted to stop it, but when he saw the emperor's eyes, he held back.
Seeing that Zhao Ji agreed so readily, Zhang Shixun pressed the issue, saying, "This performance will cost a lot of money. I wonder if the emperor is willing to spend it."
Zhao Ji smiled. "Spend what you need. It's just a little money, isn't it? I'll send an order to Cai Jing later, and you can go find him... If you need anything else, tell me now. As long as it's not too out of line, I will agree to it."
"There's nothing else to say. If I need anything else, I'll go find Prime Minister Cai."
Zhao Ji nodded and walked out.
After they left, Zhang Shixun immediately contacted Wang Dong: "Old Wang, do you have any stage equipment?"
"What? Stage equipment... Are you so bored that you need that?"
"Don't shout, it hurts my ears." Zhang Shixun scratched his ear. "I can't believe a fly can make such a loud noise."
"That's not a fly, it's a microscopic communication device... Don't interrupt me, just answer me honestly, what do you want the stage equipment for?"
"Well, there's a grand event in front of the Xuande Tower during the Lantern Festival, and Zhao Ji gave me the right to host it."
"Tell me, what tricks do you want to play?"
"Since such a great opportunity has been given to me, I must make full use of it. I want to bring some private goods and use this opportunity to show off the First Army's military prowess."
“How to show it.”
"Record the video in advance and show it on screen on the day to amplify the impact... Old Wang, there will be 100,000 people in front of and around the Xuande Building square that day. This is a fantastic publicity opportunity that can't be missed."
Wang Dong didn't speak for a long time.
"Old Wang, come on, do you have any equipment?"
"There's no dedicated one, but you can use other equipment instead, no problem at all."
“How can other equipment replace it?”
"There are similar devices in the time-space shuttle, such as virtual screen projection, audio and video playback, lighting, etc."
