Chapter 151: The Matter Is Done
“…… Liu Yuanqi is not out of office, and has a son Liu Tao, whose name is Deran. Zong Zheng read the genealogy, Liu Hong was idle, and he also calculated the seniority a little.
Counting Liu Tao's generation, he smiled and said, "Then after all, it's still my brother...... Let my father, send someone to Zhuo County, I want to know about Liu Tao's personality. ”
Although Zuo Feng briefly introduced Liu Tao's achievements, he didn't investigate it carefully in the end, and who wouldn't brag about this thing. At the same time, it is not excluded that Zuo has harvested the benefits of others and deliberately exaggerated the possibility.
"Your Majesty has tormented the slaves." Hearing Liu Hong call himself 'Father Jean' again, Zhang Rang looked panicked.
In the second year of Guanghe, Si Li's school captain Yangqiu took advantage of Wang Fu's vacation from the palace to impeach him and kill him. In the fourth year of Guanghe, Cao Jie also 'died of illness' as a bargaining chip for compromise. The eunuchs at that time really had a sense of precariousness.
Until the fifth year of Guanghe, Liu Hong was completely disappointed in the family and the scholar family, and had to support them. In order to be insured, I had to declare to the outside world that 'Zhang Rang is my father, and Zhao Zhong is my mother'.
Although he and Zhao Zhong were protected to the greatest extent, they were also accused of unfilial piety by the scholars, especially when the Empress Dowager Dong was still alive.
Subsequently, although they would say that in front of others from time to time, Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong couldn't take this sentence seriously.
After replying to that sentence, Zhang Rang still obediently went down and sent someone to Zhuo County to investigate Liu Tao's situation. Hurry up, especially in this case, basically you will arrive in Zhuo County within two or three days, and you will have accurate news within ten days.
"Wine is good wine...... Liu Hong poured himself a glass of wine, tasted it carefully, and the flavor was indeed better.
Scarcity is a word in the Western Jin Dynasty, but Liu Hong is very clear about this concept, after all, in order to subsidize the family when he was a child, he went through business with his mother. Don't look at the wine is better, but if it's in quantity, it's not worth that much.
Fifty per bottle should already be the limit, after all, there is about thirty or so overflows. As Zuo Feng said, the rarity and flavor of this wine are only about 20 times.
But drinking it by himself, that's not a big problem, the wine tastes better, and he likes it. Especially easy to get drunk, he prefers it, it's best to be drunk, don't care about anything, don't have a headache for anything.
"Liu Tao said that it was brewed by his brother-in-law, right?" Liu Hong quickly thought of what Zuo Feng said.
"Yes, I heard that Liu Tao's brother-in-law Zhang Fei, whose family is the largest wine and meat merchant in Zhuo County." Zuo Feng hurriedly replied.
"Zhuojun Zhang's, yes, it used to be a big wine and meat businessman...... Liu Hong recalled, as if he remembered that there was such a big businessman. He is a native of Hejian in Jizhou, and Zhuo County is Linjun, how can he not know the Zhang family of Zhuo County.
After all, when I was a child, I seemed to have drunk there, and I really missed it.
"That Zhang Fei seems to be under Liu Tao's command, commanding the cavalry." Zuo Feng saw Liu Hong's look of affection, so he took the opportunity to tell Zhang Fei's situation, "Liu Taoyan, his righteous brother, has the courage of ten thousand people. ”
"It's probably an exaggeration, but it should also be quite courageous." Zhao Zhong replied calmly, and said secretly: How much money did Zuo Feng charge Liu Tao for, and he said so many good things for him.
Even Bi Lan on the side looked thoughtful, but when he thought of the wine, his face did not become ugly.
"Let's see if this Liu Tao is really that powerful." Liu Hong just had fun and didn't care too much, "By the way, since this wine is brewed by the Zhang family, it tastes good, and it will be included in the tribute!" ”
He felt that Liu Tao was able to take out so much wine, which should be the result of discussion with the Zhang family. And the purpose of the Zhang family taking out so much wine should also be to make this "wine fairy brew" name.
The point is that this wine does, at least not yet, and there is no other wine that is as strong and mellow as it. For this, it is not impossible to give a 'tribute' name.
"Come to think of it, Zhuoxian Zhang's should be grateful to His Majesty." Zhao Zhong flattered.
He didn't expect that relying on this opportunity, Jiuxian Brew would become a tribute. For similar goods, one becomes a tribute, and unless it is disqualified, it is difficult to allow other brands to become tribute.
In a sense, it also protects Jiuxianjiu, and even if other brands appear, Jiuxianjiu is still the most valuable of high-grade wines...... Originally, he had to discuss with Zhang Rang to find a way to get the recipe for brewing.
It's still valuable to get your hands on it now, but when the wine fairy becomes a tribute, then other wines are not so valuable.
The matter came to an end here, Liu Hong finally waved Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong away, and drank wine in the palace by himself.
The liquor entered his throat, and Liu Hong, who was used to low-alcohol alcohol, was still a little uncomfortable. Putting down the wine glass, looking at the wine jug brewed by the wine fairy, he muttered: "The scholar family is not credible, what about the clan relatives?" ”
Chen Wang Liu Chong, recruited troops in the county, and his troops have reached 100,000. After the Battle of Changshe, Huangfu Song passed by Chen Guo and learned about the situation, and also reported the matter to him.
A county king, no matter what the reason, gathers 100,000 people, there is no way not to report this matter.
At that time, Liu Hong still felt that the name Liu Pet was familiar, and when he asked, he learned that this fool was in the second year of Xiping, and he almost gave him the two ministers before and after that time. This time, I'm afraid I'll be cheated by the Minister of State again, right?
In the follow-up report, I learned that Liu Pet was just collecting refugees and maintaining local law and order, and there was nothing arrogatory, so he simply didn't care.
Unexpectedly, just over ten days later, I heard about another clansman named Liu Tao. Liu Chong is the hereditary King Chen, but this one only has the name of a clan. However, along the way, he has made a lot of contributions, but he has taken a look at it a little.
"Liu Dai in the service, Liu Biao in the Northern Army, Liu Yu who is idle at home, Liu Yan in Youzhou Assassin History...... Speaking of Liu Dai's younger brother Liu Xuan, he has also been elected by the local government before. Liu Hong weighed it carefully.
The officials of the eunuch family have been smeared by the scholars, and there is no place to turn over. But the clan relatives and the family must be afraid of three points if they want to be framed. It's just that the clan relatives are not as good as the eunuchs in the end, and they can't be completely used by him.
"Hahaha...... Alone, alone, alone......" Liu Hong laughed at himself, picked up the wine jug and continued to pour himself wine.
About an hour later, Zuo Fengtuo brought four words to Jian Yong in the Hero Building: The matter has been done.
That's it? Jian Yong was a little confused, these things in the palace are so concise and clear? The problem is that the eunuch who came out to report the news went back after saying these four words, and he couldn't ask further if he wanted to......
"Peace of mind, although those scholars say that eunuchs are greedy for money and unkind, which may be true, but they also have an advantage." Next to Jian Yong, a figure spoke, "That is, if you receive the money, you will really do good things for you." ”
Personality is no longer valuable, and faith must be valuable, otherwise who else wants to give money?
"I see, thank you for the reminder." Jian Yong was stunned and hurriedly bowed to the man.
This person has just met, is the owner of the Hero Building, and is the president of the Ranger Guild, surnamed Wang, and named Yue. It's just that I didn't expect Wang Yue to know so much about the situation in the palace, especially the eunuchs.
