Chapter 135: The Imperial City Priest

He said slowly: "I regret it more than you, the person I cultivated with my own hands, and pushed her to the grave with my own hands, and my relationship with her is like that of father and daughter." ”

"Don't talk to me about morality! I admire you as a rare painter and celebrity in ancient times, but it doesn't mean that I admire your character and behavior! ”

Zhang Zeduan was stunned there, silent for a while, and then said slowly: "I am the Imperial City Priest of the Great Song Dynasty Forbidden Army, and I have trained three generations of nearly thousands of disciples of the Imperial City Division, but this is my secret job. You already know my job, the painter of the Hanlin Academy. ”

"But do you know? Except that the emperor can scold me like this, even Cai Jing and I don't care about it! It can be said that even Cai Jing doesn't know my other identity, have you ever experienced my forbearance and suffering? ”

"If you don't know the past and the present, and predict the future, you can use your own wisdom to prevent it from happening. And if I don't open my mouth to defend you in front of the emperor, do you know that you snatched the emperor's favorite woman! Do you still have the life to talk to me here at this time? You'll know you're dead in Jeju City! ”

The words were like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and a basin of cold water poured down! I was completely confused, and I didn't know how to face the person in front of me. He was someone I admired, and now that he said it like that, I felt terrified and powerless! I felt that standing with this man like a master of the world, I had become a lost lamb, a chicken to be slaughtered. I'm shriveling! I don't know how to answer......

"I'm sorry! It's me who was rude in front, but I didn't expect you to be such a master of the world! As the saying goes, the big is hidden in the city, and now it seems that this is true at all. ”

"Come and sit down." Zhang Zeduan waved his hand in the pavilion and said.

I walked to the bottom of the pavilion with heavy steps, and stood still. He commanded, "Sit down when you are told to sit down!" ”

I sat down in a daze, and at this moment, I was like a child, and I could only listen carefully to the old man's lecture.

Zhang Zeduan said again: "From the past Wude Division to the current Imperial City Division, we only obey the emperor's orders, because my identity has no right to intervene in the government, so I can't say anything about the emperor's preferences." ”

"As the saying goes, the country has its own laws, and the family has its own rules. If all my disciples are like La Yuemei, who easily want to break away from the control of the Imperial City Division and breed children's affection, how can I control these disciples? ”

"When I took the step of punishing her, although the emperor was on the side, I could only admonish each other with death! I can't break the rules, hand her over to Wanyan Xianbao, she still has a glimmer of life, if she can escape death, it will be considered a great blessing for her. This is also an explanation I gave to the doorman, but it's a pity! ”

After speaking, he looked up to the sky and sighed......

I said weakly: "I understand your feelings, Yuemei said before she died, she didn't blame anyone, saying that it was her life." ”

"It's great that you can open the knot." He smiled and whispered.

I smiled indifferently, leaned slightly, and asked, "Don't hide it, sir, when I was with my teacher, I just came here, how did my husband know about me?" Why do you want to speak for me in front of the emperor? ”

He smiled slightly, "I still have the ability to observe the stars, but the stars are only speculation. When I first recognized you, it was after you returned to Liangshan for the first time, and your abnormal behavior attracted the attention of the Imperial City Division. My disciples have alarmed me by telling me that you have behaved so differently than you have done before! ”

"Later, when you returned to the capital again, Deyuelou overthrew the imperial court officials, infiltrated the Privy Council, scraped off the four characters of Shandong Song Jiang, and quickly took away Master Li. Such a series of strange behaviors make me have to think that you are the person to whom the extraordinary astrological signs refer. ”

I smiled dismally and said, "I really ...... that my husband guessed everything so accurately."

Zhang Zeduan waved his hand and said: "Later, it was really not my guess, your behavior is not in accordance with the rules, and you do not play cards according to common sense." Many things, your critical decisions are amazing! These are my subtle observations of you. ”

"What does the gentleman think of Liang Shan? Do you want to protect them for once? I asked again, in a daze.

"The Liangshan matter involves the inner court of the imperial court, although I can't participate in politics, I also admire that everyone in Liangshan is a good man. But for the court, they are just a rabble, a group of people who have no political soul and the idea of maintaining social stability, can they laugh and go to the end? Besides, if you can, why don't you, the great prophet, protect it? Do you want me to protect it? ”

I smiled miserably again, "Hehe! I know I can't keep it, but they're always the sweetest people! ”

Zhang Zeduan smiled reluctantly and read: "Once the sea was difficult to turn into water, except for Wushan, it is not a cloud. How well these two sentences are written, but which of us can really enter its artistic conception? Is it simply a representation of a man and a woman? I can't see it, so it's hard for us! ”

I nodded, "yes! In fact, in this era and environment, I am also a combination of contradictions, and I can't reach such a high level. ”

"Let's go straight and talk about Da Song." Zhang Zeduan turned his head again and asked.

"If it were someone else, I wouldn't say, but you, sir, are the exception! We are now in the Northern Song Dynasty, and after the shame of Jingkang, there will be the Southern Song Dynasty, and the emperor is the current King of Kang, Zhao Gou. ”

"What is the shame of Jingkang?"

"What I say is history, and I get it from history." I answered.

"I know, I know."

I continued: "Huizong and Zhao Huan, the soon-to-be-enthroned king, are the protagonists of this incident. They were all captured and taken captive to the Jin Kingdom, and Zhao Gou went south to establish the Southern Song Dynasty. In order to remember this history, the world called it the shame of Jingkang. Of course, you can't say these words to the emperor, it goes against history......"

"You don't need to explain, I understand everything, and if you say it, it will only add to your troubles! If you tell Song Jiang about Liangshan, how can he view you? ”

"Hehe, Mr. is wise, worthy of being the pillar of the Imperial City."

He let out a long sigh: "The future of the Great Song Dynasty is bleak, I have long expected it, this is not something that ordinary people can rewrite." After meeting you, I have decided to go south ahead of schedule. ”

"Oh, if you don't dislike it, sir, you can go to the place I arranged to stay first."

Zhang Zeduan waved his hand again and said: "No need, I am wearing an important position in the state, and I am too close to you, which is not good for you." ”

He also said: "The emperor can't bear to think of your loss of your lover! I decided to give you one of my own emperors, and talk about the Sacred Heart! He still attaches great importance to you, and if he is really in trouble one day, you still have to do it. ”

"The matter of King Qin has been within the scope of my consideration. If you can't hide from it, you still have to face it positively. As for marrying the princess, this is absolutely undaring, after all, I just had the matter of La Yuemei in front of me, and the lady of the family will not forgive me if she knows about it! ”

"Hehe, people are already on the way, you can't help but have the final say." Zhang Zeduan said with a smile.

He suddenly said again: "By the way, the emperor has learned from the Imperial City Division that Wanyan Xiebao has made an alliance with you, and the well water will not interfere with the river water." Maybe one day he may come to you for refuge, you must not shirk when the time comes, no matter how history goes, you must be worthy of your heart! ”

I reluctantly smiled reluctantly, "If there really is such a day, then I will do my best." In my heart, if he wasn't the emperor, he could really be a buddy. ”

"It's like your Chai official, isn't it?" I smiled again.

When Zhang Zeduan was leaving, he said that Tian Chong could no longer work by my side because he had revealed his identity, and had sent him to Western Xia.

I was surprised and said, "Sir, what's the matter, I know it and it won't be bad for him." ”

"This is the rule of the Imperial City Division, how can it be broken if it is a rule? If everyone knows that the Imperial City of Siming exists everywhere, then what is the point of it! He replied.

"Sir, you are making it clear, and you are going to stab me secretly!" I said in a moment of distress.

He laughed and said, "Remember, you can't break the rules, so you might as well admit it." At least, with the existence of this person, a big net of the Imperial City Division can still shine on you. You, just get used to it! ”

"Okay, then it's up to Mr. to arrange, in the future, in my mind, without this person, he doesn't exist."

"Well, that's right!"
