Bai Juyi, a great poet of the Tang Dynasty, wrote "Green ants make new wine, red clay small stoves." If you want snow in the evening, you can drink a glass of nothing. ”

Bai Juyi's poem was written to Liu Yuxi, Bai Juyi summoned Liu Yuxi to come and chat with him when he was fine; Talk about poetry.

Since the Tang and Song dynasties, copper stoves have been popularized in the homes of dignitaries; After the invention of the copper stove, people felt cold in their hands, so they made the stove more delicate, covered it with a cover and held it in their hands or held it in their hands; Even the cage in the sleeve becomes a hand stove.

Hand stoves are also called hand stoves or sleeve stoves, with different shapes, common ones are round and square; Whether round or square, there is a floral pattern hood on it; There are also handles that can be carried by hand.

The round or square hand stove is about 11 cm long, about 5 cm wide, about 7 cm high, and the material is red copper; It was built by a furnace connoisseur at the time.

The king of Jin held a small, exquisite, and beautiful hand stove in his hand, and saw that it was finely worked; There are a lot of floral textures on the cover, and I can't help but ask the maid Ying'er on the side when I watch it in my hand for a long time, and said, "This hand stove doesn't seem to be in the house before?" How did one pop up out of nowhere! ”

"Lord Qiqi, the manager said that the hand stove was sent by the former prime minister Zhao Pu!" The maidservant Ying'er said with sincere fear: "The chief manager said that since Lord Zhao sent it, let the prince use it first!" ”

Zhao Guangyi's brows curled into a pimple, and he carefully looked at the decoration on it while carrying the stove to warm his hands.

I saw that the hand stove was carved with peony patterns, five-star petal patterns, leaf patterns, and zigzag road patterns in the middle.

Zhao Guangyi muttered in his heart: Zhao Pu was the founding father of the Great Song Dynasty; When Taizu was in the yellow robe, he made great contributions, and soon after the establishment of the Great Song Dynasty, he served as the prime minister, and the power leaned towards the government and the opposition; But he was too greedy and was deposed by Taizu.

In the sixth year of Kaibao (974 AD), Song Taizu visited Zhao Pufudi; It happened that Qian Yu, the king of Wuyue, sent someone to send letters and gifts to Zhao Pu, and the list said that "ten bottles of seafood" were placed under the left corridor of the hall.

After Song Taizu's car arrived, Zhao Pu hurriedly went out to greet him, and it was too late to cover the gift, Song Taizu saw it and asked what it was, and Zhao Pu replied that it was seafood.

Song Taizu said: "The seafood sent by Qian Yu must be very good!" "I ordered someone to open it, and it turned out that the bottle was full of golden melon seeds—small particles of melon seeds of gold.

Zhao Pu was very nervous, kowtowed and apologized: "I haven't opened the letter yet, I really don't know what's inside, if I know, I will definitely play the emperor and refuse these things!" ”

Song Taizu smiled and said, "Just accept it, don't worry too much; Qian Yu must have thought that you had planned all the major national events! ”

Zhao Pu accepted the gold, and the mansion in Bianliang, Tokyo, was built with this gold; Song Taizu tolerated Zhao Pu's first greed because he thought that he was the founding father.

But Zhao Pu was quite authoritarian as prime minister, and other courtiers were very jealous of him; At that time, the government forbade the private sale of large timber in Shaanxi and Gansu, but Zhao Pu sent small officials to transport the large timber from Shaanxi and Gansu back to the capital to build houses; The officials also resold wood in the capital under the banner of Zhao Pu.

Song Taizu was very angry when he learned about this, urged him to order an investigation, and wanted to issue an order to expel Zhao Pu; Fortunately, Wang Pu's intercession was not carried out.

Zhao Pu also used his idle land to privately exchange for the royal vegetable plot to expand his residence, and ran an inn for profit.

Lu Duoxun Ren Hanlin took advantage of Zhao Kuangyin's summons to attack Zhao Pu's shortcomings many times, Lei Youlin also sounded the Dengwen drum to denounce Hu Zan, Li Kedu, who took bribes and perverted the law, and Liu Wei forged acting official documents to gain office, Wang Dong once accepted bribes from Li Kedu, and Zhao Fu said that he was sick and could not take office except for the Xichuan official; are all protected by Zhao Pu.

Song Taizu was furious and couldn't tolerate Zhao Pu; began to issue an edict to the governor and Zhao Pu to alternate palm prints, foremen, and recitals to seize Zhao Pu's power; Soon, Zhao Pu was transferred out of Beijing to serve as the master of the three cities of Heyang and the school inspector.

Zhao Pu gave Zhao Guangyi a hand stove to explore the way, and the drunkard's intention was not to drink; cares about his return to the capital; But what Zhao Pu values is Zhao Guangyi, the king of Jin.

Zhao Guangyi pondered about Zhao Pu's affairs, and once again looked at the exquisite hand stove in his hand; Seeing that it is made of red copper, I can't put it down.

In the Song Dynasty, the people of the Song Dynasty should choose the best red copper as the material for the hand furnace, and do not use the traditional inlay and welding process when manufacturing the hand furnace; Use only a hammer to knock it out little by little.

With such fine workmanship, the copper furnace produced is very strong and durable; Even if you use it for a long time; It won't crack either.

The exquisite hand stove given by Zhao Pu was knocked out by hand.

No matter how vigorous the charcoal fire inside the hand stove sent by Zhao Pu, the outer wall will not be hot; It's a treasure.

King Jin played with the hand stove and enjoyed the warmth of the copper stove and the hand stove, and his heart had already flown to the long live hall of his brother Zhao Kuangyin.

Zhao Guangyi deduced that Brother Wang would definitely summon him in the Hall of Long Life; And the will summoned by the emperor will be conveyed to him by Wang Jien.

Zhao Guangyi was not wrong in judgment, after Wang Jien left the Jin Palace, rushed back to the palace; Taizu Zhao Kuangyin really came and walked in the Hall of Long Live worriedly.

Wang Jien watched the emperor stand still from a distance, and snorted the news: "Your Majesty, you have to pay attention to the dragon body!" ”

Wang Jien's words Zhao Kuangyin, but he already knew it in his heart; Seeing this, the body will soon disappear from the palace, and standing here will be Zhao Guangyi, the king of Jin.

As a minion, it is really not easy to curry favor with the emperor and the king of Jin; But Wang Jien was trusted by both the emperor and the king of Jin.

Zhao Kuangyin heard Wang Jien's greeting and did not respond, and continued to walk around the Long Live Palace.

This morning, Zhao Kuangyin came back from a private visit to the field and went to Mrs. Hua Rui is bedroom; Mrs. Hua Rui actually cried into tears, saying that the King of Jin took advantage of the saint to go out and defiled her, and she was the overlord who made a bow.

Zhao Kuangyin didn't believe Madame Hua Rui's words at first, but he knew that Madame Hua Rui was a strong woman who couldn't speak; And it is precisely because of himself, the imperial brother, that has had the problem of messing with flowers since he was a child.

The problem is that there are hundreds of beauties in the Jin Palace, but Zhao Guangyi wants to compete with himself for Mrs. Hua Rui; also took advantage of his absence in the palace to make a bow.

Zhao Kuangyin was so angry that he wanted to immediately call Zhao Guangyi into the palace to scold; Now he can only scold Zhao Guangyi, and it seems that he is powerless to use other means.

Thinking like this, Zhao Kuangyin remembered that he planned to move the capital.

Since the mid-to-late Tang Dynasty, Chang'an and Luoyang have been repeatedly invaded by war; The Anshi Rebellion, the peasant uprising at the end of the Tang Dynasty and the war of secession of feudal towns caused the population of Chang'an and Luoyang to decline sharply, and the economy of both cities withered; It is difficult to restore the glory of the Kaiyuan Dynasty.

In the Five Dynasties, except for Luoyang, the capital of the Later Tang Dynasty, the other four dynasties were all Kaifeng; After the establishment of the Northern Song Dynasty, it inherited the system of the Northern Zhou Dynasty and still took Kaifeng as its capital.

After the Northern Song Dynasty completed the unification of the country, Zhao Kuangyin, who was born as a military general, saw the disadvantages of Kaifeng as the capital city clearly.

Although Kaifeng has the Yellow River as a line of defense, it is not dangerous to defend the Pingchuan.

Look at Luoyang again, its geographical location is very superior; It is a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and many dynasties in history have made their capitals here.

Zhao Kuangyin was born in Luoyang, and it is normal for people to move the capital to Luoyang and return to their hometown......
