I am a prince in Zhutian Films

Chapter 347 System Tasks
The peach blossoms in the capital city bloomed again and again, and the pear blossoms turned white and white again, and it seemed like two years had passed in the blink of an eye.

The second year of Tianxi, early spring.

Prince Han’s Palace, martial arts training ground.

Zhao Wei looked at the guards and servants who were training seriously, and suddenly spoke to the guard leader beside him: "Liu Sheng, you have been trapped in the palace for two years since I returned to Tokyo with you, and you have not achieved anything. Do you feel resentful?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Sheng hurriedly bowed and replied in fear and trepidation, "It is an honor for us to be with His Highness. How can we complain? Did His Highness hear something? Who is that bastard who said that? I will definitely teach him a lesson."

He said this sincerely, for he had been just a small commander in the border army before, and the other guards were even worse than him. They were not even regular soldiers, but just civilians from the border. They might die on the battlefield one day and not even get any pension.

But two years ago, after they followed Zhao Wei to Tokyo, they lived in the palace and did not have to worry about their life safety at all. Not only that, Zhao Wei also asked them to return to their hometown to bring their families to Tokyo and paid for their settlement.

Nowadays, most of the royal guards have already brought their people to Tokyo. Although they all live in the manors under the name of the royal palace, being able to stay in Tokyo City is already a great blessing for them. Isn't this much better than tying their heads to their belts at the border?
They had no complaints against Zhao Wei, only gratitude.

"No one said anything. I just asked casually. By the way, I am planning to open a school in the manor. Please inform everyone who has children of school age to send them to school. If they are successful in their studies, I will recommend them to take the imperial examination in the future."

When Liu Sheng heard this, his eyes widened immediately, and then he knelt down on the ground with excitement on his face.

"Thank you, Your Highness, thank you, Your Highness!"

In a world immersed in classics, the status of scholars was really high, but it was not easy to excel through studying. Books, teachers, and connections were all indispensable.

That is to say, Tokyo is the capital of the Song Dynasty, and educational resources are the richest in the world. If it were in other places, studying would be a luxury for the people.

Zhao Wei was planning to open a school and hire teachers. For Liu Sheng and others, this was a great blessing and a good thing. After all, there is no parent who does not want their son to become successful and does not want to change their family status.

Zhao Wei waved his hand and said, "You have followed me for so many years and have been loyal to me. I have seen it all. This little thing is nothing."

As he was speaking, Shuangxi, the chief eunuch of the palace, came over.

"Your Highness."

Zhao Wei hummed: "What's the matter?"

"Prince Anping is hosting a banquet at Shuangxi Tower in the Jiaofang Bureau and invites you to attend."

Since helping the Prince of Anping two years ago, this guy would look for him whenever he got into trouble. Fortunately, they were all minor troubles, either beating up some young master or beating up some yamen, and Zhao Wei was used to it. Of course, Zhao Wei also used him to kill several families, and caused quite a stir in Tokyo last year.

"Who are you having a conflict with this time?"

"It's the Prince of Changping."

"Is he so brave?" Zhao Wei was a little surprised.

The Prince of Changping is no ordinary person. He is the Eighth Prince, that is, the son of the Eighth Wise Prince Zhao Yuanyan in film and television dramas. He is also one of the dandies in Tokyo City. No matter his status or the number of his lackeys, he is far superior to the Prince of Anping, so Zhao Wei said this.

"It was the Prince of Changping who beat the Prince of Anping. It was said that it was because of the incident with the Li family at the beginning of the year."

The Li family was one of the families eliminated by Zhao Wei through the Prince of Anping. They were nothing in the city of Tokyo, but he did not expect that they were related to the family of his uncle.

Zhao Wei was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Okay, let's go take a look."

When the group left the palace and passed East Street, there was suddenly chaos on the street. A man with disheveled hair was running wildly in the crowd, and behind them, a group of officials in dark uniforms were chasing them.

One of them was extremely agile and his martial arts skills were evidently not weak either, because he leapt onto the roof and quickly came in front of the fleeing man, knocking him to the ground in just a few moves.

"Gu Qianfan, you are a living hell, you will not die a good death, I curse you... wuwuwu..."

After being caught by the officers who came later, the man cursed at the man who knocked him down, his tone full of resentment, but was quickly silenced by the officers.

Zhao Wei, who was not far away, watched this scene and asked with interest, "Is that someone from the Imperial City Bureau?"

Shuangxi, as one of the housekeepers of the palace, naturally knew most of the situation in Dongjing City. "Young Master has a keen eye. They are indeed from the Imperial City Bureau. The leader is Gu Qianfan, known as the Living Yama. He is cruel and ruthless, with a violent temperament. He is the most vicious person in the Imperial City Bureau. However, he is the commander of the Investigation Bureau. How dare he arrest people in this busy inner city?"

Before he finished speaking, Gu Qianfan, known as the "Living Yama", suddenly turned his head and looked towards where Zhao Wei and the others were.

Zhao Wei chuckled: "Oh, quite sensitive... huh?"

He was just about to express his admiration, but the next moment, when he saw Gu Qianfan's face clearly, the smile froze on his face.

It was not that he was shocked by Gu Qianfan's appearance, but when he saw Gu Qianfan clearly, the system that had been silent for twenty years suddenly responded.

Without checking the system tasks immediately, Zhao Wei continued to look at Gu Qianfan. He had already made a judgment in his mind that it seemed that Gu Qianfan was the key figure in this world.

"interesting."

"Sir, are you interested in him?" Shuangxi glanced at Gu Qianfan and introduced him in a low voice: "Speaking of which, this Gu Qianfan is also a figure. His grandfather is Gu Shenyan, the Minister of Rites, and his father is Gu Mingjing, the Envoy of Luoyuan. However, according to our investigation, his biological father is actually Xiao Qinyan. Gu Qianfan was also a Jinshi, ranked fifth in the second class in the Yiyou year, and was initially appointed as a judge in Dali and a judge in Jizhou. He belongs to the Qingliu lineage, but unfortunately he later chose to join the Imperial City Department."

Zhao Wei was startled and asked curiously, "Since you are a clean scholar and a Jinshi, why did you choose to join the Imperial City Department?"

You know, for someone like Gu Qianfan, once he becomes an official in the court, he will have a bright future.

If nothing unexpected happens, he may not eventually become the prime minister, but at least he will be a minister.

But it is different once you enter the Imperial City Bureau. The Imperial City Bureau is known as the eunuchs' lackeys and minions. It can be said that people in the Imperial City Bureau are not tolerated by all the civil and military officials in the court, and there is almost no possibility of promotion.

How could a dignified Jinshi, a member of the Qingliu family, choose to join the Imperial City Department?
"It should be related to Qi Mu."

If you say it should, then it means it must be related to Qi Mu.

Zhao Wei nodded. While they were talking, Gu Qianfan had already left with his men. Zhao Wei took another curious look and said, "Let's go back home."

"Sir, where is the county prince?"

Zhao Wei smiled faintly: "No, tell him that the Eighth Uncle is not short of money, let him go to Zhao Yundi to ask for money. If Zhao Yundi has any dissatisfaction, let him come to me."

"Yes, son."

Just like that, Zhao Wei returned to the palace, went back to his room, and opened the system panel.

Host: Zhao Wei

attribute

Power: 34
Constitution: 37
Spirit: 38
Remaining attribute points: 3
As for skills, items, titles and the like, Zhao Wei simply glanced over them and started looking at the system tasks.

main mission:

We will be together till we are old, Zhao Paner, you deserve it.

Side tasks:

First: Be a man of great talent and strategy, recover the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, and make the world no longer have the name of a weak Song Dynasty. Second: Listen to music in brothels, go to brothels such as Jiaofangsi to listen to music at least a thousand times, only once a day, and repeat the visit regardless of the number of times, and you will get a surprise. (217/1000)

After reading the system tasks, Zhao Wei was completely confused.

By the way, has he been there so many times in the past two years?
No, that's not the point. The point is that he went to brothels to listen to music a thousand times. If you count it, it would take three years to complete if he went there every day. And more importantly, is he the kind of person who listens to music in brothels when he has nothing to do? Which decent person would listen to music? If he goes to brothels every day, does he still want to have a reputation?
In comparison, the task of recovering the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun is much more normal.

However, no matter how normal it is, the difficulty is rising sharply.

Going to a brothel a thousand times to listen to music could be accomplished by spending money and time, but recovering the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun during the Song Dynasty would have been impossible if he had not been a prince and had the hope of ascending the throne.

After all, in the Song Dynasty, it was simply a luxury for a military general to gain the military power to attack the Liao Kingdom.

Even if you are unrivaled in the world in leading troops in battle, the Song Dynasty's political system, as well as the emperor and officials, will not allow you to gain too much military power. In this way, how can you fight the Liao people without soldiers or generals?

To give a most practical example, since he returned from the northwest border, the court has issued a strict order, strictly ordering the Blood-Clothed Army on the northwest border not to attack the Dingnan Army, let alone the Liao Kingdom.

This is the Song Dynasty, a Song Dynasty that is cowardly to the core.

Therefore, if you change your identity, this side quest will be as difficult as ascending to heaven. Of course, even with his identity, it is not that easy. At least you have to wait until Zhao Wei can dominate the government or ascend the throne before you can start, and you have to kill a lot of opponents.

Both of these side quests take time.

As for the main storyline of staying together till old age...at first glance it means that he has to marry the woman named Zhao Pan'er and stay together till old age, never leaving her.

In Zhao Wei's opinion, this main task is actually the easiest. After all, chasing a woman and ensuring that they grow old together is easier than recovering the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun.

But is it really okay for love to transcend national justice?
Just as I was thinking about it, the voice of the system suddenly sounded in my mind.

"The host's idea is reasonable. The system mission has changed."

Then, the system's first side quest and main quest were swapped.

"System, you're back? This meeting of yours has been going on for a long time, twenty years, a full twenty years." Zhao Wei couldn't help but complain.

System: "One day in heaven is one year on earth. Host, you haven't heard of it, isn't twenty days normal? Think about the United Nations in your previous life. When a major event happened, it was normal for a meeting to last for several months."

Zhao Wei: “…”

This... there is really no way to refute it. After all, as far as he knows, many meetings of the UN General Assembly require a long period of discussion.

"System, why are there no more system continuous tasks?"

System: "In view of too many host complaints, the ongoing mission has been cancelled. After all, some hosts travel to a world that requires a harem, and some hosts travel to a world without a heroine. Our system also strives to keep pace with the times."

"Okay, so now I'm traveling to a harem world, a single-female-lead world, a world of film and television dramas, right?" Zhao Wei continued to ask.

"Yes, it's a TV series with a female lead, called 'Dream of Splendor'."

"Meng Hualu?" Zhao Wei murmured and thought about it carefully.

Not impressed.

In other words, he was transported to a TV show or film that he had never seen, so he had no idea what the story was about.

"System, where is Zhao Pan'er now and what is her situation?"

There are tens of millions of people in the vast Song Dynasty. There is no telling how many people named Zhao Pan'er there are in the world. If one wants to find this person, it will take an unknown amount of time relying solely on the power of the Prince Han's Mansion.

Maybe, by the time we find her, she will already be married.

and many more.

If you think about it this way, the task of staying together until old age doesn't seem to be that simple.

System: "Host, please use the plot card."

"Can't you just tell me?"

"..."

The string of punctuation marks that popped up in his mind made Zhao Wei stunned for a moment. He said helplessly, "Okay, you can't catch a wolf without sacrificing a lamb. Anyway, the plot card is used. System, use the plot card."

The next moment, a science fiction screen appeared in front of his eyes and began to introduce and play the series.

As expected, Zhao Pan'er is the heroine, and Gu Qianfan, who I have met before, is the male lead in the play.

It took me two days to finish watching the entire show.

How to put it? In Zhao Wei's opinion, this is a costume idol drama with a strong female lead, handsome men and pretty women.

The first half of the plot is still very good, especially the character and wisdom of the heroine, which are above standard, much better than the brainless heroines in many TV dramas.

But in the second half of the plot, for unknown reasons, the IQ of the protagonists plummeted, especially the male protagonist Gu Qianfan, who seemed to have a halo of reduced intelligence. In the later period, he was simply brainless, and the ending was also hastily understood.

On the whole, the plot is a bit lacking, filled with a lot of love and romance plots. The rhythm is sometimes tight and sometimes dragged out, giving people the feeling that it is not shot by the same director.

At least that’s how Zhao Wei felt.

Of course, no matter what the plot is like, whether the heroine Zhao Pan'er is a plum blossom or not, judging from her performance in the play, she is indeed a good woman worthy of having.

Not only is she smart, but she is also beautiful.

Fairy sister, you are the dream lover of so many people.

Get Zhao Paner and make huge profit!
As for wanting to win Zhao Paner's heart, he must interact with her and develop feelings for her before Gu Qianfan.

As for Ouyang Xu, Zhao Wei did not take him seriously at all. With Ouyang Xu's ambition and stinginess, he was destined to abandon Zhao Pan'er as long as she passed the imperial examination. Ouyang Xu was not even a match for her.

According to the timeline of the TV series, the plot begins after the palace examination. If you calculate, it should be in the recent period, after all, the results of the palace examination will be announced soon.

Of course, as a prince, it was not easy for Zhao Wei to leave Tokyo.

In particular, he has a precedent of sneaking away.

However, it would be easy if the plot didn't change.

After all, as a son, no one can say anything when investigating the rumors about his mother Liu Wan.

So now we just need to wait until the words "Taibai appears in the daytime, the heroine will prosper" appear.
