Chapter 204: Hibiscus Flower

"The ice muscles and jade bones are clear and sweatless, and the wind in the water hall is full of dark fragrance. The bright moon between the curtains peeps alone, and the pillow hairpin is chaotic. The courtyard of the third watch is silent, and I see the sparse stars and the river Han. When will the west wind come? I am afraid that the passing years will be changed secretly. Zhao Jiza shook his head and read Meng Chang's new work "Yulou Chun". This word is written by no one else, it is Meng Chang's beloved concubine, Mrs. Hua Rui.

"Your Majesty, the words are wonderful, you can be described as the first person to say today!" Zhao Jizha patted his ass. He glanced at Mrs. Hua Rui, who was beside Meng Chang, and hurriedly praised: "Of course, if there is no Niang Niang's natural posture, even if Your Majesty is talking about Chinese, it will be difficult to start for a while." ”

"Hahaha, you Zhao Jiza, I don't see this sycophant kung fu today, but you're good at it!" Meng Chang laughed, but he seemed to point out Zhao Jiza's slap on the horse, but looking at his expression, he didn't mind at all, on the contrary, he was very useful for these words of patting the horse!

"Your Majesty, Lord Zhao suddenly came to the door, presumably there must be some urgency." Madame Hua Rui was beside Meng Chang and said softly. This woman has always been regarded as Meng Chang's "red face and trouble" in history, but, in comparison, Mrs. Hua Rui is much stronger than those two extravagant Zhou Hou. At least, she would occasionally persuade Meng Chang. It's just that Meng Chang thinks very highly of himself, except for the words of "Xiangfather" Zhao Jiliang, it is useless for anyone to say. His "father" has long passed away.

Meng Chang turned his head and smiled, "What can he do?" It's nothing more than that the minister has an affair with the pseudo-Zhou again. ”

Since the return of the Chu State, Zhao Jizha reported some strange events in Chengdu to Meng Chang, and then, under Meng Chang's authorization, began to vigorously carry out a big campaign to recognize loyalty in Chengdu officialdom. Many executives were imprisoned in the name of "suspicious", which put everyone in Shu officialdom in danger. But Meng Chang was very happy to see Zhao Jizha help him get rid of those old ministers who occasionally came back to his side to make a few noises.

"Your Majesty, it was the Emperor of Chu who sent an envoy to Chengdu." Zhao Jiza hurriedly said.

"Oh, Ma Yun sent someone to the Ministry of Rites to entertain him again, what do they say. Hehe, in fact, I don't even ask them, I know that his Ma Yun's people come to our Dashu, it's nothing more than two things: the Northern Expedition and the Shen League! Meng Chang said with a grin. However, this kid is indeed smart, and he actually saw the intentions of the Chu State at once. It's just that he saw the intentions of the Chu State, but he couldn't do anything reciprocal. What's even more incredible is that he also knows that Chu has a lot of plans, but he himself has never been on guard, feeling that their Shu Kingdom is completely separated from the entire Central Plains and Jiangnan, and his Shu Kingdom is like a paradise.

"Well, Your Majesty, the envoys of the State of Chu came very urgently this time, they have already gone to the Ministry of Rites, and then because the minister had sent an envoy to the State of Chu, they went straight to the minister again. I hope to see Your Majesty soon! Zhao Jizha lowered his head and replied.

"Oh?" Meng Chang became a little interested: "What are they doing in such a hurry?" Isn't there something big about it again? Hehe, it seems that in this world, only he Ma Yun knows the major events in the world. bar. Meng Chang was very unhappy, and he didn't know if it was out of jealousy, no matter how he looked at Ma Yun, he was unhappy, only after the defeat of the Chu army in Bianjing, he was happy for a while. After all, judging from Meng Chang's considerations, when the five great emperors today, Meng Chang has been the emperor for the longest time and has the most experience, you little brothers should respect and respect your big brother no matter what you say. It's a pity that basically no one treats him as a dish! Can this not make Meng Chang angry!

"Your Majesty, Ma Yun, the emperor of Chu State, heard that His Majesty was planting hibiscus flowers on a large scale in Chengdu City, and he specially sent more than ten hibiscus flowers unique to the south of the Yangtze River!" Zhao Jizha said that as a person next to Meng Chang, he knew Meng Chang's thoughts very well, and now it was obvious that His Majesty the Emperor was a little apprehensive, so he would not explicitly say that Chu wanted Dashu to send troops, and at the same time he wanted to borrow the Tao!

Meng Chang's eyes lit up and said, "Lift it up." Ai Concubine, when it comes to hibiscus flowers, our Shuzhong is naturally a must, but Jingnan is known as the hometown of hibiscus. Tan Yongzhi at the end of the Tang Dynasty once wrote in a poem: The clouds on the river lock the dream soul, and Liu Kun dances late at night by the river. The autumn wind is thousands of miles in the country of Furong, and the twilight rain is in the village of Qianjia. Homesickness is unbearable, and who is willing to value the king and grandson of tourism. The fishermen didn't ask each other, and the flute returned to the door. This 'autumn breeze is a country of hibiscus', which describes the hibiscus flowers of Jingnan! ”

"Oh, really?" Madame Blossom opened her mouth slightly, and her expression was curious.

"Niangniang, what Your Majesty said is very true. This time, the hibiscus flowers sent by Chu are all high-quality products, among which the drunken hibiscus and mandarin duck hibiscus are very famous in Jiangnan! Zhao Jiza said.

"Oh? What is called a drunken hibiscus, and there is a mandarin duck hibiscus! Madame Blossom asked.

Zhao Jizha didn't speak, and looked at Meng Chang with a smile. Meng Chang stopped Mrs. Hua Rui's willow waist and said, "This drunk hibiscus, as the name suggests, is mainly about being drunk. Right? Zhao Aiqing! ”

"Your Majesty, you have excellent knowledge and are rich in five cars, and you really know what you say!" Zhao Jizha flattered in his mouth, but he secretly beat the drum in his heart. The conscience of heaven and earth, he really didn't know that Meng Chang loved this hibiscus flower so much, and he hadn't even heard of this drunken hibiscus, it seems that his boss likes hibiscus and can't even hide from the ticket, and it is completely the drunkard's intention not to drink. He hurriedly explained: "Why is this flower a drunken hibiscus? The finishing touch lies in this drunken word. The corolla is white in the morning and early morning and gradually turns pink, and then turns deep red in the afternoon and evening. Because the flowers change their color three times a day, they are called drunken hibiscus, three drunken flowers, also known as "three drunken hibiscus", which are rare and precious varieties. ”

"Is it really that changeable? It's a pity that it's not a moonlit day, so I can't see this beautiful hibiscus flower! Mrs. Hua Rui said on the side: "Then how did this mandarin duck hibiscus get its name?" ”

"Niangniang, this mandarin duck hibiscus, the color of the flower is red and white, accompanied by each other, looking at it from afar, like a pair of mandarin ducks, so it is called mandarin duck hibiscus."

"This Ma Yun is also a wonderful person, and he actually knows what happened to me in Chengdu!" Meng Chang said with a smile: "This time I sent hibiscus flowers from afar, which is also a piece of heart. Zhao Aiqing, you find some subtle things in Shu and give them back. Don't seem to be stingy. ”

Meng Chang's opening sentence surprised Zhao Jiza, he almost thought that Meng Chang had a detailed arrangement in Shu? Now he Zhao Jiza is proud, in just a month, he was named "collaborator with the enemy", and there are not a few big officials who dismissed the official, although Zhao Jiza was murderous, but Meng Chang regarded himself as a "benevolent master", except for a few crimes that were evident and the facts of the case were conclusive, the others were just dismissed. This made Zhao Jizha unable to sleep all day and night, the political struggle has always been life and death, and now others are defeated, but they are not down, as long as Meng Chang has an edict, these people can return to the court, there is no way, Zhao Jizha can only move closer to the Chu State. At this moment, he embarked on the road of no return, and he is now not the deputy prime minister of Shu, but Da Chu is in the number one of Shu. Therefore, he was startled, but he peeked at Meng Chang, but Meng Chang's expression did not have the slightest intention of knocking on the side, he was a little calmer in his heart, I am afraid it was Meng Chang's unintentional words.

"The two countries are on good terms, and the State of Chu has also sent officials to do things in our Dashu, let's build Furong City, such a large-scale thing that will affect future generations is really normal!" Zhao Jizha refuted the Chu State in his words, and he couldn't help but refute, lest Meng Chang become suspicious: "Your Majesty, the envoy of the Chu State is here, and there is one more matter. ”

"Oh, and something? Hahaha, it's the Northern Expedition. Zhao Aiqing, do you think we can go on the Northern Expedition now? Meng Chang asked with a smile, it seemed that his mood had changed, at least not like the irony in his words just now.

"Your Majesty, in the past few days, a major event has happened in the northern country!" Zhao Jizha said.

"What's the matter? Could it be that the Khitans and the pseudo-Zhou got into trouble? Meng Changman said nonchalantly. He's really a smart guy, and he's pretty good at it, but unfortunately, it's all used elsewhere! has made a mess of his own national politics!

"Your Majesty declares. Ten days ago, the Zhou army suddenly marched north, conquering Qingzhou, Mozhou, Yingzhou and other places, and now the army is pointing directly. A big battle between Khitan and Pseudo-Zhou is already inevitable! Zhao Jiza said.

"Oh? Guo Rong is quite bold. Our four great powers are united, and before they can make a move against him, he will take the lead! According to your opinion, Khitan and Pseudo Zhou, who has a better chance of winning! Meng Chang said.

"Your Majesty, I don't think I can see it yet. In terms of strength, the Khitans are definitely stronger than the pseudo-Zhou, but since the pseudo-Zhou dares to send troops, they must also have a certain certainty. However, the impact on the situation in the Central Plains still depends on the actions of the Chu State! If the state of Chu attacks with all its might, and the pseudo-Zhou suffers from the enemy, even if the pseudo-Zhou defeats the Khitans, the gains outweigh the losses! Zhao Jiza said.

"Oh. Yes, this matter, it's hard to let Ma Yun pick it up! Meng Chang muttered: "But the level is very strong, if we attack rashly, can we win?" It seems that Feng Xiang's defeat has really scared Meng Chang's courage, although he is very arrogant on his face, but he is really unwilling to face Zhou Jun in his heart.

"I think that if Gao Yantao is used, I'm afraid it will be very effective!" Zhao Jizha said. This Gao Yantao official worships the envoy of the Xiongwu Festival, and he is in charge of the four states of Longxi, this person looks down on Zhao Jiza, and when Zhao Jiza inspected the northern defense on behalf of Meng Chang, he was treated with general etiquette, which disappointed Zhao Jiza, who wanted to make a lot of money, and made Zhao Jiza's sensitive heart suffer a heavy blow. As a result, Zhao Jizha hated Gao Yantao in his heart.
