The guard Mao San took Liu Min and the four of them to the horse farm, and saw a palace-like house in front of him from a distance.

Liu Min asked unreasonably: "Brother Guard, how can there be a palace-style building in the racecourse?" ”

Mao San saw Liu Min call him the eldest brother of the guard, and said a little flattered: "The young general asked well, the reason why the racecourse shows palace-style architecture has something to do with Meng Chang, the lord of Houshu!" ”

"Hou Shu Lord Meng Chang!" Liu Min was shocked and asked again: "Meng Chang has been to this place?" ”

"Look at what the young general said, if Meng Chang doesn't come here, where will he come to the palace-style building?" Mao Sanzhen said with words: "This Meng Chang is a profligate master, and he has been wandering around since he accepted Mrs. Hua Rui; Every time you visit, you have to build a palace bedroom, and the palace here in Qingshichuan was built by Meng Chang for Mrs. Hua Rui! ”

Mao Si said and stretched his neck and swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said: "After Meng Chang built the palace in Qingshichuan, he and Mrs. Hua Rui only lived for seven or eight days and then put it on hold, and later it became a horse farm and used it as an official place!" ”

Liu Min saw that Mao Si was serious, and sighed: "In fact, Meng Chang was a very diligent emperor in the early stage of his reign in Houshu, and he worked hard to reuse virtuous ministers; The people are rich and live and work in peace and contentment, making Houshu a rich country; However, in the later period of Meng Chang's reign, the political theory of the DPRK became lax and began to be greedy for pleasure, so it finally led to the fate of the country! ”

Zhang Jing listened to Liu Min say this, stared at her in surprise and said, "Miss Minzi is really extraordinary!" Do you know this about the Lord of Houshu, Meng Chang? ”

Liu Min was stunned, and said with a smile: "Didn't Brother Zhang say that Minzi was prescient?" The little woman is a showman who knows the world without going out, and the affairs of Meng Chang's death have long been published in the tabloids in Tokyo and Chengdu! ”

"Tabloids! What is a tabloid? Zhang Jing stared at Liu Min ignorantly and asked, "Why did the tabloids publish the news of Meng Chang's death!" ”

Liu Min inadvertently uttered the word tabloid, which was the word of later generations, but Huaxia already had newspapers in the Tang Dynasty; So he told a few people around him about the tabloids.

A tabloid is a newspaper, a document that discloses anecdotes and national events to the public; There are official newspapers and civil newspapers.

The official newspaper of the Tang Dynasty came out in the Kaiyuan period of Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, and it was copied and distributed by the marching institutes and marching officials stationed in Chang'an from various places to present the marching chapter and report the news.

At that time, it was commonly referred to as the Gazette of the Concert Courtyard, the Petition of the Concert Courtyard, the Residence Officer, or the Newspaper.

In the Song Dynasty, there were no official newspapers, and there were many non-governmental newspapers; After the establishment of the Song Dynasty, tabloids became popular, and reached their peak in the Southern Song Dynasty.

The tabloids of the Song Dynasty were regarded by the imperial court as unofficial newspapers published illegally, mainly in the capitals of Bianliang and Lin'an, and were published at irregular intervals.

The tabloids are also called "news", which associates the term "news" with newspapers; Later newspaper news became a channel for the public to obtain the amount of information.

The publishers of tabloids in the Song Dynasty were usually local marching officials, envoys, middle- and lower-level officials of government offices, and bookstore owners stationed in the capital.

The materials come from the internal detectives, provincial detectives, and government detectives who report news within the palace and government agencies such as provinces, temples, prisons, and departments.

The content is mainly the imperial court affairs that have not been made public by the government, the emperor's edicts that the official newspapers are not ready to publish or have not yet been published, the ministers' omissions and the appointment and dismissal of officials.

During the Southern Song Dynasty, the tabloids often carried news of the northern military and civilian resistance against the Jin soldiers and the opposition of the officials of the main battle faction to the peace; Most of it is handwritten, and a small part is engraving.

The publication of tabloids violated the ban on news leakage, so the feudal rulers were severely banned for "fabricating rumors" and "spreading them indiscriminately".

Zhang Jing listened to Liu Min's chatter about the origin of the tabloid, stretched out two thumbs and praised likely: "How does Miss Minzi know so much?" You've got to teach the villain! Let the villain know a lot! ”

Liu Min smiled and said, "What's so rare about this, as long as Brother Zhang likes it; Toshiko tells you a strange story every day! ”

Grandpa Huo interjected: "Minzi just said so much about Meng Chang, but he didn't talk about his Qibao urinal; After the fall of Houshu, the old man went to Chengdu, and by the way, I will tell you about it! ”

"Good! All right! Zhang Jing and Mao Si clapped their hands and praised, and Grandpa Huo calmly told the story of Meng Chang's colorful urinal.

After Zhao Kuangyin, Taizu of the Song Dynasty, pacified Hou Shu, he couldn't help but be stunned when he saw the drowning vessel of Meng Chang, the lord of Shu, decorated with seven kinds of jewelry: the urinal is decorated with treasures, what is used to hold meals?

Zhao Kuangyin has never seen anything in the world, but he is also surprised by Meng Chang's extravagance; Some emperors or earth emperors are evil enough, either the urinal is inlaid with gold edges, or inlaid with jewelry, and the drowning supplies are so luxurious, not to mention others.

No wonder Zhao Kuangyin sighed: "If you do so, what if you don't die!" ”

When Meng Chang was in power, the Central Plains was eventful, so he could be in a corner of peace, and the monarchs and ministers were happy with luxury; However, happiness is sad, Zhao Kuangyin can't tolerate you Meng Chang's partiality.

Zhao Kuangyin advocates simplicity, eats, and does not pay attention to mountain and sea delicacies; This is very different from some bastard emperors and even queens who have more than 100 delicacies of mountains and seas per meal.

Zhao Kuangyin often wore clothes that had been washed several times, and once rewarded his ministers with the twine cloth clothes he worn; The dwelling was simple and unpretentious, and the tent of the harem was not embroidered and painted.

Zhao Guangyi once had a banquet in the palace and said casually, "Your Majesty's dress is too sloppy." ”

Zhao Guangyi seems that the emperor's actions are too embarrassing for the emperor, and it damages the majesty of the emperor, and the emperor's face can't be hung up.

In fact, the emperor lives above all the people, the country is the family, the family is the world, you can do whatever you want, even people's lives can be taken from life and death, not to mention food, clothing, housing and transportation.

But Zhao Kuangyin asked his younger brother with a serious expression: "Do you remember the past when you were in the horse camp?"

When Zhao Kuangyin's family lived in Luoyang Jiama Camp, life was very difficult, the military disasters continued, and the people were in danger.

Zhao Guangyi was silent, Zhao Kuangyin did what he said, and smashed Meng Chang's Qibao urinal.

After Grandpa Huo finished telling the story of the Qibao Night Pot, he said regretfully: "Why did Grandpa Tai suddenly die of such a good emperor!" Hi Toshiko, how old was your grandfather! ”

Of course, this question can't be hidden from Liu Min, Liu Min knew that his grandfather had just turned 50 years old when he died, and the time was 976 AD; And now it is 980 AD, which means that Song Taizu has been dead for four years.

Liu Min listened to Grandpa Huo's inquiry, and said unabashedly: "Grandpa Tai has been dead for four years, and he was just 50 years old when he died!" ”

"Grandpa died a little early!" Zhi Yuzhong interjected: "Grandpa Tai smashed Meng Chang's colorful urinal, and smashed it well!" Meng Chang was a bit luxurious in the later period of King Shu, but he still had a good eye for building a horse farm in Qingshichuan! ”。

"The general is not wrong!" Mao San picked up and said: "The horse workers of Qingshichuan Racecourse and we also said the same!" ”

As soon as Mao San's words fell, he saw that the palace building was already in front of him, so he stretched out his arms and made a humble gesture and asked Liu Min and the four of them to walk in......
