“Your Highness, the so-called sac blood shooting at the sky refers to an allusion to Emperor Wu Yi of the Shang Dynasty, from Sima Gong’s Records of the Grand Historian – Yin Ben Ji (史记-殷本纪). At the end of the Shang Dynasty, Emperor Wu Yi was tyrannical and arrogant, provoking the wrath of the heavens and the people. In order to show off his authority, the arrogant Wu Yi made heavenly gods out of wood and clay and fought with them. In addition, he also came up with a game called ‘shoot the sky’, let a person with a leather bag full of bags of blood hanging high up in the bottom to the bag to shoot arrows, making the blood splattered, stench, the Shang Emperor Wu Yi is wildly laughing, to the left and right to brag about: today, ‘the sky’ are by theI shot through a hole. Therefore, was later known as the sac blood shot …… Ah Choo …… day.”
When Zhou Fangzheng revealed to Yan Song’s father and son about Zhu Pingan’s visit to Yang Jisheng in the morning, Zhu Pingan was reading with King Yu in his study, and the Squire Bachelor of the Yu King’s House was originally the advisor to King Yu, with this one job among his duties. When he was reading, Yu Wang had a rusty feeling about the word “blood sac shooting sky” in the book, so he asked Zhu Pingan about it. Zhu Pingan had a very good memory, and briefly interpreted the allusion to the origin of the word “blood sac shooting sky”, and when he was about to finish interpreting the word, he, for some reason, inexplicably struck a big blow.Inexplicably sneezed a big sneeze, fortunately, Zhu Pingan heart feel, in time, lowered his head and covered with his hand, which did not affect the Yu Wang.
“The humble minister lost his temper, please chastise Your Highness.”Zhu Pingan rubbed his nose, very embarrassed and arched his hand to ask for forgiveness from King Yu.
“Hehe, it’s just a sneeze, Zi Hou is overstating it, it’s not like I’m not as tyrannical as Wu Yi. ZiHou but last night did not rest well, or sleep greed cold, body catch cold? Zi Hou you can pay more attention to your body, I can’t leave you guys.”King Yu smiled and shook his head, not caring about this, but also concerned about Zhu Pingan’s body.
“Many thanks to Your Highness for your concern.”Zhu Pingan arched his hand in thanks, smiled slightly and said, “I am physically fine. Your Highness, let’s read on.”
“Hmm.”
King Yu nodded and the two of them continued to read on.
Inside the Yan Mansion.
Although it had already been a while since Zhou Fangzheng opened his mouth, and Yan Song had changed his set of clothes, the shock from Zhou Fangzheng’s words was still fermenting inside the study, from a raging storm that had fermented into a monstrous tsunami.
“Zhu Pingan?”
Zhao Wenhua was stunned in place with a complex expression.
“You’re saying that Zhu Pingan he has already hinted these two fatal omissions to Yang Jisheng and suggested that Yang Jisheng delete them?!”
The one-eyed big fat man approached Zhou Fangzheng like a black bear that had its honey stolen, stretched out his bear paw-like claws and grabbed Zhou Fangzheng’s collar, narrowed his one eye and asked aggressively, the spattered saliva in his mouth sprayed into Zhou Fangzheng’s mouth.
Yan Shi Fan’s aura is too strong, than Zhao Wen Hua do not know how many times stronger, Zhou Fangzheng was Yan Shi Fan grabbed by the collar, the whole person was stunned, the brain is a blank, the mouth opened and opened, but a word can not send out.
“Speak!”
Yan Shi Fan’s hand once again exerted force, pulling Zhou Fangzheng closer, impatiently opening his mouth to curse.
“Yes yes.”
Zhou Fangzheng nodded his head repeatedly in fear.
“Ahem …… Donglou! How to talk, be polite to Lord Zhou.”Yan Song glared at Yan Shi Fan, then said to Zhou Fangzheng in a pleasant manner, “Oh, Zhou Taoyuan, don’t mind him, just say what you have to say. Today, you have already been gracious to me by showing me the warning, I will not treat you poorly.”
“Oh, I’m not concerned, hehehe, sorry for offending Ta-Jen Zhou.”Yan Shi Fan sniffed, squeezed out a smile on his fat face, loosened the hand that was gripping Zhou Fangzheng’s collar, and was also considerate enough to help Zhou Fangzheng sort out his clothes.
“Many thanks, Pavilion Master. You are overstating things, Lord Yan. Filial piety is first in all things, how could my humble servant not know that Lord Yan cares about Pavilion Elder’s feelings with all his fists. Who says that an inch of grass has a heart that rewards three springs of glory, Your Excellency Yan’s filial piety can move heaven and earth, and should be a model for my subordinate to emulate.”Zhou Fangzheng panicked and bowed gratefully, is very clever to say back, pat Yan Shifan’s arse words don’t need money like, pouring out one after another.
“Oh, it’s good that Lord Zhou understands.”Yan Shi Fan pulled the corner of his mouth.
“Ta-Jen Zhou, tell us what you just said in more detail.”Zhao Wenhua slowly spoke.
“Yes. It happened this morning, when the curfew had just ended, and I was at Yang Rebel’s home, eating breakfast with him while studying the impeachment of Pavilion Master’s sangs with him in vain. Just at this time, Zhu Pingan came to knock on the door to visit, I was left a mindful eye, informed Yang Reverse in advance and hurriedly hid to the inner room. Zhu Pingan was wearing a ……”
After easing down, Zhou Fangzheng will morning happened originally, one by one said out, will Zhu Pingan wearing clothes, said words and so on everything, all told out.
“At that time, Zhu Pingan found the loopholes in the zhangshi, to Yang Yi proposed to delete, I heard in the inner room, heart for the pavilion elder worried while also accidentally knocked over the cup, fortunately, Yang Yi’s youngest son clever, said he was thirsty to pour a cup of tea, did not think the tea is too hot, resulting in him accidentally knocking over the cup, will things to cover up the past … ……”
Zhou Fangzheng had a good memory, the dialogue of the scene at that time, almost managed to replicate the description and disclose it.
“How did Zhu Pingan he remind Yang Jisheng?”Yan Shi Fan narrowed his one eye and asked.
“Zhu Pingan’s reasoning for him reminding Yang Retrograde to remove the two loopholes is almost the same as what Lord Yan said just now. The first point, Zhu Pingan said that Yang Retrograde’s zhang rustic has the intention of insinuating that His Holiness is harbouring the Pavilion Elder, and also said that after His Holiness sees the zhang rustic, he is afraid that he will be displeased with it……. The second point, ‘or ask the two kings’ this place, is the focus of Zhu Pingan’s reminder of Yang Retrograde’s, and Zhu Pingan he said that there are two reasons for this, which is almost exactly the same as what Lord YanWhat he just said is almost exactly the same. He said ……”
Zhou Fangzheng said all the reasons why Zhu Pingan reminded Yang Jisheng to remove the loopholes in the zhangsheng.
“Sizzling …… interesting, Zhu Pingan is a smart man, huh, and a big fool ……”
Yan Shi Fan after listening to Zhou Fangzheng’s report, only one of the one eye also closed up, stretched out the bear-like paw to rub the back of the head vigorously, a tired look, followed by a smile to mock a sentence.
“That’s right, that’s right, he, Zhu Pingan, doesn’t know what’s good for him, he even colluded with Yang Rebel, he doesn’t know what’s good for him, he’s just a fool.”
Zhou Fangzheng bowed and agreed.
Yan Shi Fan twisted his head to look at him and pulled the corner of his mouth, revealing a strange smile.
Zhou Fangzheng lowered his head and didn’t dare to speak again.
Knock …… knock ……
Yan Song sat there, his face was very gloomy, thin and bony palms stroked on the table, the well-travelled fingers gently knocked on the desktop with a single click, this is Yan Song’s habitual action when he seriously thought about the problem.
The study is quiet and terrible, only the sound of Yan Song knocking on the desktop.
