The night is dustless, and the moonlight is like silver.

Gu Yanzhong chased for a long time, but he didn't find any trace of Master Zhao.

He crossed his hands on his hips and looked around, weird! Master Zhao also crossed? There was only one way in this direction, so where could he go?

Suddenly, Gu Yanzhong's eyes lit up, and in the small pavilion not far away, there was a familiar figure.

He quietly walked over and hid in the grass next to the small pavilion, and Master Zhao stood with his back to the Bianhe River, constantly looking around.

The moon slowly moved westward, and a ray of moonlight crept through the treetops and slanted into the pavilion.

Gu Yanzhong saw Master Zhao's body swaying in the dark like a ghost, and his body was still trembling from time to time.

He raised his head, the moon was in the sky, and he thought: Look at this sky, it should be the time of the child.

Who is Master Zhao waiting for? To be in such a remote place, not to mention that it has been a few hours now, and there are no ghosts.

At this moment, on the path diagonally opposite the pavilion, a person walked quickly.

Before the visitor walked to the small pavilion, Master Zhao knelt on the ground with a "porphyr" and kept kowtowing.

When the man came, he sat down on a stone bench in the small pavilion. Although he was dressed in civilian clothes, when he passed by Gu Yanzhong's side, the strong official smell had already overwhelmed Gu Yanzhong.

"My lord, you must help me say something good in front of Master Zhang. Even if I am a cow and a horse, I am willing. Old Man Zhao's body trembled, and he knelt on the ground tremblingly, his voice trembling.

Gu Yanzhong listened to Master Zhao's trembling pleading, goosebumps fell to the ground, and he couldn't help but shiver.

He couldn't help but speculate in his heart: this person's actions reveal a full momentum of officialdom.

"Master Zhang?" According to the calculation of this era, will the Master Zhang in the mouth of Master Zhao be Zhang Dian?

The corners of Gu Yanzhong's mouth slanted, his eyebrows raised, and he cheered up even more and looked carefully.

The man glanced back at Master Zhao and said, "Did you bring something?" ”

"Brought." Master Zhao immediately offered the gift in his hand to the man.

The man slowly opened the scroll, and the moonlight shone on it.

Gu Yanzhong's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly covered his mouth with one hand, "Han Xizai's Night Banquet Picture", this should be Gu Hongzhong's true handiwork.

Gu Yan felt an indescribable excitement in his heart, thinking: I am very familiar with this painting. Who would have thought that I would be lucky enough to see this masterpiece tonight!

"Han Xizai's Night Banquet" is the work of Gu Hongzhong, a painter of the Southern Tang Dynasty of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, and the later generations transmitted the copies of the Song Dynasty.

It is a painting scroll composed of five independent but interrelated pieces, such as listening to the piano, watching the dance, leisure, appreciating music and laughing, which show the painter's profound skills and superb painting skills in terms of modeling, brushwork, and coloring.

It's strange to say that Gu Yanzhong has copied countless famous paintings, and "Han Xizai's Night Banquet" is the most handy to paint.

Gu Yanzhong was itching to see it, damn, I really want to snatch this painting directly.

He looked at it, and some messy pictures suddenly flashed in his head, and he was suddenly dizzy, and he couldn't help lowering his head and closing his eyes.

When Gu Yanzhong raised his head again, the man rolled up the painting. "Well done! I'll tell Master Zhang when I get back. ”

Master Zhao finally showed a smug smile on his face, and he whispered: "My lord, for the sake of me who has always been loyal to Master Zhang, why don't you help me ask for a position......

"Position?" The man stared at Master Zhao.

"If the adults don't dislike it, the villain just wants to take a small position in the ministry. There are also a thousand taels of silver, and I hope the adults will smile and accept it. Master Zhao said and pushed the silver on the man.

Without hesitation, the man took the silver and put it in his arms, looked at the painting again, and said, "A thousand taels of silver want to serve in the ministry?" ”

This voice was so cold that Gu Yan felt cold in the distance.

"A thousand taels of silver to buy an official." Gu Yanzhong quickly converted it in his heart, if one tael of silver was equivalent to three hundred yuan according to the minimum conversion, one thousand taels of silver was equivalent to three hundred thousand yuan.

Master Zhao's three souls were missing two and a half souls, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead, but he still stood up and said again and again: "My lord, in addition to this thousand taels of silver, there is also "Han Xizai's Night Banquet Map", this painting is a Han family heirloom, and I finally tracked it for thousands of miles to ......."

"Is there still a baby in Master Zhang's family?" The man interrupted Master Zhao's words in time, and although his voice was not loud, it sounded like cold ice.

"Besides, it's not your thing, you're just running errands and borrowing flowers to offer Buddha. If you really want to be promoted, it is also Lord Han, besides, Lord Zhao, are you comfortable living in Lord Han's ancestral house? ”

Master Zhao was speechless by the man's words, and his heart was immortal, so he begged: "My lord, today is a poor preparation. Another day, oh no? My lord, how much money do you want, and tomorrow I will immediately return to my house to prepare a generous gift and deliver it to my lord's house in person. ”

"Idiot! If I can get to the house, what am I still tossing in such a remote place in the middle of the night? The man rolled up the picture in his hand as he spoke, and turned to leave.

Master Zhao hurriedly knelt on the ground, grabbing the man's trouser legs in a hurry.

"you! And you want me to recommend you for that? I think you're still dead to this heart. The man didn't care about Master Zhao, kicked him in the stomach hard, turned around and walked away without looking back.

"My lord, my lord, who took over the position of Lord Han......" Master Zhao's voice was so hoarse in the night.

"Han Xizai's night banquet!" Gu Yanzhong suddenly surged out of an inexplicable force, and he hurriedly jumped out of the grass and ran a few steps.

The man walked to the shore, got into a carriage, and faded into the darkness.

The night is like a thick inkstone, so deep that it can't be dissolved. Thick clouds pressed down on the top of people's heads, making people breathless.

Gu Yanzhong exhaled deeply, and his heart "chuckled", and the authentic work of "Han Xizai's Night Banquet" that had belonged to him for a long time was lost.

Gu Yanzhong suddenly felt that this "Han Xizai's Night Banquet" seemed to have a lot to do with him, and he couldn't tell what was going on.

was snatched away this time, as if his pride had also been poached.

The autumn breeze is gentle and the night is slightly cool.

The water of the Bianhe River still flows slowly, and fallen leaves float quietly on the surface of the river.

Gu Yanzhong looked at the willows by the river, the bare willow branches swaying irregularly in the wind.

Gu Yan suddenly sighed in the center: Maybe in this turbulent situation, Willow's heart is not calm.

"Life is a hero, death is also a ghost." If you don't live vigorously in this world, won't it be in vain?

What's more, the Song Dynasty was an era of emphasizing literature over martial arts, and it was a pity that you didn't show your skills and spent your life in obscurity in the Song Dynasty like this?

Master Zhao's intentions are obvious, it's time to do something for yourself.

Gu Yanzhong suddenly brightened up, and he secretly asked himself in his heart: Gu Yanzhong, do you dare to play big!

A faint smile twinked at the corner of his mouth.

Gu Yanzhong returned to the small pavilion.

Old Man Zhao was stunned, he opened his empty eyes, looking at the dark night, and the fireflies in the distance flashed in the forest like ghost fire.

Gu Yanzhong squatted beside Master Zhao and whispered, "Master, do you want to go home?" Or ......"

Master Zhao didn't seem to hear what Gu Yanzhong said, and said to himself: "The painting I finally got was sent out again for the sake of Master Zhang's words, I'm really sorry for my ancestors!" ”

Gu Yanzhong suddenly felt sympathy, shook Master Zhao and said, "Master, it's time for us to go home." ”

Master Zhao looked at Gu Yanzhong in surprise, and said nervously, "Why are you here, what did you see just now?" ”

"I've seen them all!" Gu Yanzhong shrugged his eyebrows, and said secretly in his heart: You give my favorite painting to others, it is the masterpiece that Lao Tzu wants the most.

"Ahh Old Man Zhao's expression was stunned, and he looked at Gu Yanzhong speechless for a long time.

Gu Yanzhong shook his shoulders and said, "Don't you just want to buy an official, what's so unseemly?" ”

When Master Zhao heard Gu Yanzhong's words, he scolded angrily: "What do you understand? ”

"I'm not talking about you. How can you give something so important to this person so easily? If you want to buy an official through him, he took your things, and it doesn't matter if you give it to Master Zhang or not. I guess I won't give it to him just now! ”

"Ahh Master Zhao sat completely on the ground, looked ahead with stunned eyes, and coughed a few times.

"Don't get excited." Gu Yanzhong stroked the old man's back, and the old man Zhao slowly took out a hand towel, and with a "cough" sound, a pool of blood.

"Don't you want to see Master Zhang? Forgive me for asking, is this Lord Zhang, is it Zhang? ”

When Master Zhao heard his words, he was even more shocked, and said in disbelief: "Do you still know Master Zhang?" ”

"I don't know, I can't say I won't know you in the future." Gu Yanzhong said with great confidence.

"Do you have a good idea in mind? Tell me about it. Master Zhao looked at Gu Yanzhong expectantly.

"That's my business." Gu Yanzhong glanced at Master Zhao, and deliberately understated, "Master! Just tell me the truth, did you want to ask that person to give this painting to Zhangdun? Let Zhang Dian arrange an official of the ministry? ”

Master Zhao nodded, looked at Gu Yanzhong from beginning to end, and asked, "Do you really have a way?" ”

Gu Yanzhong smiled faintly, and the way he looked at Master Zhao became even more strange. "If you want to do what you want to do, listen to me."

"There's no problem listening to you, I'm just afraid of ......"

"You're just afraid I'll get you in trouble, aren't you?" Gu Yanzhong did not shy away from saying directly, "Don't worry, the mountain people have their own clever plans, and I won't bother you." ”

Master Zhao sighed and said, "I didn't buy the official for myself. ”

Gu Yanzhong shrugged his shoulders and smiled, "Not for yourself, or for me?" ”

When Master Zhao heard this, he laughed, laughed for a while, and suddenly became very sad on his face, and said, "I not only want to be an official, but also want to seek peace!" I still have two children, otherwise I would be so tired that I vomit blood. ”

The three words of peace, Gu Yanzhong didn't need to say more from Master Zhao, he could guess a few points.

At present, people everywhere in Beijing are panicking, and since Zhang Dian became the left servant of Shangshu and the servant of the door, the means of revenge against the Yuanyou party have become more and more ruthless.

He raised a big lawsuit, framed the righteous and the gentleman, and the officials were exiled, demoted, and demoted, and abolished almost every day.

All the big and small bureaucrats who opposed Wang Anshi's reforms, even if they had only a little relationship, were spared, and their wives and children were affected.

Not only that, but he also asked to dig up the graves of Sima Guang and Lu Gongzhu and cut down their coffins.

Zhang Dan does things, ruthlessly, and the means are extreme. Legend has it that Zhang Dian also sent people to assassinate those who were persecuted by him everywhere, and he did not let go of any of the nine clans.

Gu Yanzhong looked at Master Zhao's back, and his heart was desolate.

The reason why Zhang Dian and Sima Guang rose and fell was because their fate was in the hands of others.

The reason why Master Zhao has fallen to this point today is also because his fate is in the hands of others.

If a person's destiny is not in the hands of others, then the best thing to do is to control the destiny of others.

No, I can't let anyone else control my destiny.

How can you control the fate of others? That is to take someone else's life into your own hands!

Gu Yanzhong looked at Master Zhao in front of him, and thought to himself: Is this the first person he wants to strangle?

The August wind is high and the autumn is angry.

Gu Yanzhong raised his head to look at the sky, and a name suddenly flashed in his mind: Zhang Dian.
