Zhang Shixun had a rare moment of free time, so today he was at home, cleaning the house with five palace maids, tidying it up inside and out. He also took Sangou and Zheng Yuanyuan out to buy a lot of vegetables.
He handed the dishes to Zheng Yuanyuan and the others and sat down in the living room to drink tea, turned on the smart system, and looked around.
Now, whenever he has free time, he will open the smart system and familiarize himself with its various functions.
With such a good plug-in, it would be a waste not to use it.
In terms of data alone, it covers almost all the written materials and archives in China's history, and is simply an extremely large database.
Looking through information and watching surveillance footage has become Zhang Shixun's new hobby.
After reading the History of Song Dynasty for a while and feeling bored, he turned on the surveillance in the palace. The Wende Hall was empty. This was where the court was held on weekdays, and it was still a holiday, so naturally there was no one there.
I turned on the surveillance camera in Zhao Ji's imperial study in Yanfu Palace, but there was no one there either.
I thought it was almost noon and Zhao Ji should have gotten up, but when I turned on the surveillance camera in the bedroom, I saw a scene that was not suitable for children.
Damn it! They are committing adultery in broad daylight.
Zhang Shixun quickly retreated, his face burning.
Zhang Shixun cursed inwardly: Dog emperor.
There were actually three naked women on this guy's "dragon bed".
It's ridiculous. It's not unfair at all that such a great country was destroyed in his hands.
He exited the intelligent system and sat there in deep thought.
Is it worth working for such an emperor?
Perhaps overthrowing this utterly corrupt court is a good option.
While he was thinking, San Gou walked in and said, "Master, there's a man named Cai Tao outside who wants to see you."
"Cai Tao?" Zhang Shixun was a little surprised. He and Cai Tao didn't have much friendship. After the rehearsal, the two had no contact. What was he doing here now?
With doubts, he went to the door.
"Brother Cai, you are a rare guest." Zhang Shixun bowed.
"Haha! I went out to visit a friend today and passed by here, so I stopped by to pay you a visit."
"Please come in!" Zhang Shixun made way to the yard.
"Last night's performance was brilliant. The area in front of the Xuande Building was like heaven on earth. It was so beautiful. I could hear people talking about it all the way along."
Zhang Shixun smiled but said nothing, trying to figure out Cai Tao's intention.
Just stopping by to visit, you're kidding.
When passing by the kitchen, Cai Tao glanced at Zheng Yuanyuan and the others who were busy, and asked in a low voice: "Shixun, are they the palace maids rewarded by the emperor?"
"Um!"
"They are all beautiful and charming. You are so lucky, my dear."
"Brother Cai, you're wrong. I don't have any other thoughts about them. I just want to find a good family for them to marry off..."
"Absolutely not!" Cai Tao said hurriedly before he could finish, "How can you so easily send away the people the emperor has rewarded you? This is a crime of disrespecting the emperor."
Zhang Shixun sighed, "You haven't heard me finish yet. When I told them my idea, they all refused. I had no choice but to give up the idea and just raise her for the emperor."
"Haha! That's fine too."
When the two entered the house, Xiaomei came in tactfully and made a pot of tea for them.
After she left, the two chatted for a while. Cai Tao rambled on and on, and it took a while before he got to the point.
"Shixun, I overheard my father say that the government is having a hard time with your position."
Zhang Shixun was stunned. "Difficult?"
"You are a disciple of a deity. It is inappropriate for you to serve in the Imperial Guards."
"What do you mean?"
"Shixun is a wise man. Since he is a god, he should avoid suspicion."
"Avoid suspicion? What suspicion do you want to avoid?" Zhang Shixun pretended to be confused.
"You have unfathomable abilities and military power, so..."
"Haha! I understand. I have become a thorn in the eyes and bones of the government now, right?" Zhang Shixun sneered.
"That's not right. After all, everything you do is beneficial to the royal family. However, it's also our duty as an official to take precautions, so..."
"So, I can't be the commander-in-chief of the First Army anymore, right?"
Cai Tao smiled awkwardly, "Don't get me wrong, the emperor didn't say that."
"Brother Cai, just say whatever you want to say. We're both tired of beating around the bush."
"Okay, I'll be frank. My father wants you to resign from your position in the Tianwu Army and become the official historian of the Jiaofang Division. What do you think, Shixun?"
Zhang Shixun suppressed his anger and said coldly, "Isn't this what the emperor himself wants?"
"This..." Cai Tao felt even more embarrassed.
"In that case, I will resign from my post to save the government from worrying about it."
"This is not good, it will make things difficult for the government."
"Difficult?"
"It seems that he has no tolerance for others."
"Does he have the tolerance to tolerate others?" Zhang Shixun asked back.
“…”
"Brother Cai, go back and tell Grand Tutor Cai that I will resign from my post starting today." Zhang Shixun had no expression on his face, and thought to himself: Maybe Wang Dong's idea is worth considering, to dethrone the emperor and then replace him.
The thought only flashed through my mind.
Cai Tao took a sip of tea and said with a smile, "Shixun, we haven't known each other for long. Don't blame me for being so polite. You are a disciple of a divine being, and your status is transcendent. Even if you don't hold an official position, you can still get whatever you want. Why bother with the official position? It's better not to hold this position."
"I'm not greedy for an official position, but I want to save... Never mind! I'm not a savior, so I won't bother with that."
Cai Tao was confused and asked, "What did you say you wanted to save?"
"It's better not to say it. It's useless to say it." Zhang Shixun picked up the teacup and drank the tea in it in one gulp.
The anger in my heart was rising.
"You once told my father that in the near future, the Song Dynasty will face a great disaster."
Zhang Shixun looked at him expressionlessly and said slowly, "Brother Cai, are you willing to listen to my advice?"
"You talk, I'm listening."
"Let's go further away, to Jiangnan."
"Jiangnan?"
"Well! It's better to go to Hangzhou."
"Hangzhou?" Cai Tao rolled his eyes.
"If you could take your family to Hangzhou, you could avoid a great disaster."
Cai Tao smiled bitterly, "No, my father still needs me to take care of him, he can't leave."
Zhang Shixun could only mention it briefly.
"Can I ask what exactly this calamity you're talking about is?"
Zhang Shixun pointed his index finger toward the sky and said calmly, "The secret of heaven cannot be revealed."
"Besides fleeing south to avoid disaster, is there any other way to break it?"
"No!"
Cai Tao felt lost.
Zhang Shixun added, "If Grand Tutor Cai goes on a long journey in the future, please remember to bring plenty of food."
"Traveling far?"
Zhang Shixun smiled mysteriously.
Cai Tao couldn't help asking the reason, but Zhang Shixun avoided the question.
Seeing that he couldn't get anything out of him, Cai Tao stood up and said goodbye. Anyway, he had already done what his father asked him to do.
Zhang Shixun politely saw him out and the two of them bowed and said goodbye.
