What Li Hongniang sent Hu Qiang to send was poppy seeds (the latest chapter of Xuanji Immortal Dao).

In this day and age, the poppy was very rare. Song Zheng originally wanted to try to get a few grains from Xiao Wei, but when he talked about it, Li Hongniang took the matter over. Song Zheng knew her relationship with the palace and Xiao Wei, so he didn't say anything more.

Of course, Song Zheng wouldn't tell Li Hongniang that this thing was made to make opium. just said that his mother Zhu Shi has a stomach cold, and I heard that this "A Furong" has a miraculous effect on this. Li Hongniang didn't doubt him, so she got a few grains for Song Zheng.

Early the next morning, Song Zheng returned to the Song Mansion, beckoned Ming'er into the room, and took out poppy seeds from his arms.

"What is this?" Ming'er curiously pinched one, twisted it twice, and put it under her nose to smell it.

"This is the seed of Hibiscus, and we need to plant it." Song Zheng's face was gloomy.

Ming'er threw the seeds to the ground in a panic, and looked at Song Zheng suspiciously, "What are you doing with this?" ”

Song Zheng bent down to pick up the flower seeds, and snorted coldly, "This thing is a treasure, I took a lot of effort to get it (against the sky). You just have to plant it, wait for it to blossom and bear fruit next year, keep the seeds, plant it again, and the next year, we can harvest it. ”

Ming'er's eyes blinked, but she didn't ask anything more.

Opium poppy is sowing in autumn and the next year before it can bloom and bear fruit. Now it's freezing and I've missed the season. However, this is not difficult for Song Zheng.

He asked Ming'er to find three large clay pots, and collected the internal organs and hairy bones left by the chickens and ducks in the house, buried them under the flower pots, and then put them in the fertile soil, and then planted the poppies. Song Zheng found a room in the side room of Fengzhu Courtyard, with a built-in charcoal fire to keep the room temperature. Place three mud pots indoors to encourage germination.

When Ming'er was in Songjiazhuang, she had herbs, as long as the poppy sprouted and sprouted in the early stage, Ming'er would be able to take care of the next thing.

The matter of poppies has been going on for a long time, and Song Zheng only looks at it occasionally, so he doesn't pay attention to it. On the contrary, Se'er was very interested in this, and when she heard that this hibiscus flower was extremely gorgeous, she was very excited, and she was more interested than Ming'er.

It's been a surprisingly peaceful time. Song Zheng also quieted down after visiting Huang Yuandu, Xiao Hui and Xiao Tong. The Difei monk, who made Song Zheng extremely worried, did not make any changes, but was only met twice by Huang Jiao. I usually stay in Hongjue Temple, eat fasting and chant Buddha, and practice with peace of mind.

Due to the protection of the forbidden army, and the strict defense in the Hongjue Temple, the Red Tiger did not bother with Difei. However, Song Zheng did not relax his vigilance, and still told Ji Liancheng to take close care and record the people who passed down.

Song Zheng was dedicated to Huang Jiao's orders, but he was never summoned by the little emperor. Although he was hired as a palace teacher and could receive two salaries, he couldn't even see the face of the little emperor. Song Zheng vaguely guessed the crux of the problem, and he could only do anything in vain. As the saying goes, there must be mistakes, and when he joined the Imperial City Division, he was able to get the protection and promotion of Xiao Juni, but it also made Huang Jiao suspicious. Although Tong Bing, another deputy commander of the Imperial City Division, had tried himself, for some reason, he was unable to meet the little emperor for a long time. This made Song Zheng helpless.

Song Zheng couldn't get an answer, but he wasn't in a hurry. Perhaps, Huang Jiao is still waiting for her next performance (the latest chapter of Modern Getaway). I couldn't eat hot tofu in a hurry, so Song Zheng didn't pay attention to this matter anymore. Right now, everyone is busy celebrating the New Year, and Song Zheng is not in the limelight. In addition to presiding over the wrestling and gambling battles of the Zhenzi team, he pondered the dragon sword stick. Another important point of interest is the imperial court's newspaper. Song Zheng couldn't participate in the political battles in the court, but through the Di Bao, Song Zheng still analyzed a lot of things. Coupled with the intelligence information obtained from Li Hongniang, Song Zheng's layout of the high-level of Daqi became clearer and clearer, but there were more and more mysteries in his heart.

To solve these mysteries, the amount of information in front of him is not enough, Song Zheng thought about it, and thought of Wei Buzhou again.

On the twenty-fourth day of the lunar month, just after the end of the New Year, Song Zheng came to visit Wei's house.

The Wei family is a big family, although Wei Buzhou was removed from the position of chief teacher of the Academy of Literature, the mansion has not changed, it is in a big mansion near the south bank of the Qinhuai River. The house covers an area of fifty or sixty acres, which can be called a deep house compound.

Soon after the name was delivered, the housekeeper personally went out to greet him. Song Zheng walked with him for a few days, so he was naturally familiar, and after greetings, he came to the main hall. Wei Buzhou happened to be at home, and according to his personality, he usually went out to visit friends during the day, discussed knowledge with some outdated officials and celebrities of big families, discussed the government and politics, and rarely stayed at home. However, now that the Chinese New Year is coming, Wei Buzhou also has to arrange some family affairs.

"Xiaolang, come on, come on, you are a rare guest, the first time you came to my house?"

Song Zheng hurriedly bowed and saluted, and said with a smile, "The kid has been busy with mundane affairs, and he didn't have time to visit Mr., I hope you will forgive me!" ”

Wei Buzhou smiled, let Song Zheng into the chair, and asked someone to serve fragrant tea. Wei Buzhou is different from Song Jue, although they can be called Confucians, Wei Buzhou has the demeanor of a celebrity, reciting poems and making the moon, writing wine articles, although he abdicated, he lived a very chic life.

In the living room, there are not only calligraphy and paintings, but also several exquisite bonsai, although it is a cold winter, it is still green. Song Zheng said, "Mr.'s home is really different, in the living room of other houses, or magnificent, or pretending to be ancient, but Mr. here, elegant and fresh, comfortable and comfortable, Mr. style, should let the boy admire." ”

"Xiao Lang smiled, the old man is just an ordinary reader, he writes two sour poems and writes a few pairs of words in his spare time, which can be called elegant (read the full text of Shu Jianjue)."

Song Zheng quipped, "Mr. is too modest, isn't he?" Do you have to say that the five bodies are thrown to the ground, and you have to bow and worship? ”

Wei Buzhou laughed and nodded at Song Zheng with his hand, "You, what a sharp mouth, you actually make fun of the old man!" ”

"Don't dare!" Song Zheng pretended to be frightened, and hurriedly gave a salute, which made Wei Buzhou laugh again.

After chatting for a few more words, Wei Buzhou said, "Xiaolang is here today, just say anything directly, I don't believe that you are here to chat with me, an old man." ”

Since the gentleman asked, the kid said it directly. The boy is here to beg for a gentleman. ”

Wei Buzhou said curiously, "Oh? You are a dignified martial champion, and you are still the commander of the forbidden army. Ling Zun is now also the deputy chief teacher of the Academy of Arts, and he is famous as a teacher in Beijing. Is there something you still can't solve? ”

"Mr. Mingjian, I'm here to borrow books."

"Borrowing books?" Wei Buzhou's face showed a sudden expression, "I don't have anything else here, but there are a lot of books, I don't know what books you want to borrow?" "Wei Buzhou has a lot of books, and he can be called a bibliophile. Song Zheng had long heard that there was a library building in Wei's house, which collected many precious books, amounting to more than 10,000 volumes, among which there were many unique and rare books.

"I want to borrow a full copy of "Taizu Records", I don't know if Mr. has it here?"

"The Record of Taizu?" Wei Buzhou's eyes widened, "Xiaolang didn't say anything wrong?" ”

Song Zheng shook his head and said, "When I heard about Gaozong, I once asked people to collect materials and write "Taizu Records", which recorded the process of Taizu Taizong's founding of the country. The content is quite detailed, and since the kid has entered the office, I want to know more about this aspect (the latest chapter of the Song Years of the Ball Soul). I hope Mr. will help me. ”

"Is Xiaolang looking for the wrong person? You should try to go to the secret pavilion in the palace, where the entire twenty volumes of the Taizu Records are kept. The old man is a Confucian student, how can there be royal things at home. Wei Buzhou's face was solemn.

Song Zheng also knew that he was abrupt, and immediately said, "Although the kid is not talented, he admires the prestige of Taizu. Mr. Wen's family has a library, so I came to ask. If Mr. is inconvenient, the kid naturally doesn't dare to force it. ”

When Gaozong compiled the "Records of Taizu" that day, there were two kinds of simplified and traditional ones. There are 20 volumes of the whole book, which are hidden in the secret cabinet, and there is less than one volume of the simplified version, which has been circulated all over the world. Among Song Jue's collections, there is a simplified version of "Taizu Records". There are some major events recorded above, but the language is vague, and almost all of them are praises of merit. Song Zheng has long been familiar with it, but he is very puzzled by many questions.

For example, Taizu crossed the river in the south and established a country and a capital. In the simplified version, it is, "Jiangnan heard the prestige of Taizu, and rushed to vote, donated millions of silver, invested Taizu to expand Jiangning, and worked the army to defend against foreign enemies." Taizu was worried about Beikou and was attached to his homeland, so he specially ordered to build the Yanyun Sixteen Bridges on the Qinhuai River to clear the ambition of recovery. ”

Youyun, "Since Taizu established the country, he sent Han Zhong to lead his army north, fought with the enemy, and finally drove him to the north of the Yellow River." ”

All these things are very brief, so that people only know the general idea, but do not know the reason for it. Song Zheng now wants to interpret the layout of Daqi, so he wants to find the reason from the root. The whole "Taizu Record" is undoubtedly a shortcut.

Wei Buzhou was born in Hanlin and was already famous all over the world at a young age, and was one of the main compilers of the "Taizu Record". When Song Zheng chatted with Li Hongniang, he knew about the whole "Taizu Record", so he found Wei Buzhou, hoping to get something from him.

Wei Buzhou's face changed. The whole "Taizu Record", he secretly hid it, but he didn't dare to take it out now. At that time, Gaozong had made a secret decree that the entire "Records of Taizu" could only be read by those who were emperors, so as to experience the hardships of Taizu's founding and learn the way of being an emperor.

Although Wei Buzhou and Song Zheng are old friends, he also has deep feelings for Song Zheng, but this matter is too important, and he does not dare to show this book to Song Zheng (the latest chapter of the Fighting God Benji).

Song Zheng was not in a hurry, quietly drinking tea, waiting for Wei Buzhou's reply.

After a full quarter of an hour, Wei Buzhou said, "I really don't have the whole "Taizu Record", which disappointed Xiaolang. ”

"Whereever, it's difficult for a kid to be strong." Song Zheng's face remained unchanged, "I just heard that Mr. had compiled this book, so I came here to ask." Since there is none, the kid has no choice but to give up. ”

Wei Buzhou was a little embarrassed, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Although I don't have this book here, if Xiaolang wants to know anything, just ask me." I still remember some of the contents of the manuscript back then. ”

Song Zheng's heart moved, knowing that although Wei Buzhou would not lend him the manuscript, he didn't mind dictating what he wanted to know. So, Song Zheng clenched his fists, "Then thank you so much, sir, it's better like this, in the next few days, I will go to the house and listen to Mr.'s teachings." ”

Wei Buzhou nodded lightly, and his face calmed down.

Song Zheng immediately took out the simplified version of "Taizu Shilu" from his arms, and there were many marks written on it, which was his doubt. Song Zheng pointed to the markers and asked Wei Buzhou for advice one by one.

For the next four days, Song Zheng would go to Wei's mansion every morning, and Wei Buzhou dictated it, and Song Zheng memorized it silently. Finally, Song Zheng understood the history of the founding of the Great Qi Dynasty thoroughly. From ancient times to the present, Song Zheng can be regarded as having a thorough understanding of the ins and outs of the Great Qi political system. Combined with the current situation of Daqi, Song Zheng finally analyzed the source of the struggle and compromise between the military and the political side of Daqi, as well as the Jiangnan and Jiangbei families.

The day before the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, Song Zheng walked out of the Wei Mansion and let out a long breath. "I see, I see!" Song Zheng laughed twice and walked away. ~
