Chapter 43: Imagination

Walking around the Imperial Garden, he not only encountered cotton, but also met the flower of sin, Yu Wenwen only felt that this world was full of malice, and sure enough, he was right to beware of "someone is trying to harm me".

Why are there poppies in the Imperial Garden? This thing isn't native to the Central Plains!

Yu Wenwen was talking to the little emperor while pondering this question in his heart, the poppy and the poppy were similar in appearance, and the two plants in the imperial garden existed at the same time, maybe they were accidentally mixed together, maybe they were mixed together, maybe there were people who were mixed up.

This matter can be big or small, just like the army fighting a war, thinking about defeat before victory, of course, he has to think in the worst direction: someone who grows opium poppies in the imperial garden in a grand manner, and then refines opium products similar to Diyaga, as for the purpose, of course, it is malicious.

Generally speaking, both the East and the West in this era have a preliminary understanding of the efficacy of opium, knowing that this thing can be used in medicine to treat headaches, dizziness and other symptoms, and when taking a large amount, you will feel happy and even hallucinate, but you may not understand its addiction.

This is because of the limited refining technology, low-concentration opium products have to be taken for a long time to show symptoms of addiction, and there are very few people who can't die after long-term illness in these years, so it stands to reason that no one will know the hidden properties of opium.

But everything is afraid of just in case, the poppy enters the Central Plains, maybe some people will find that its juice can be used in medicine, first can calm the nerves, and then can make people flutter like immortals, this year the luxury wind prevails, in order to enjoy that feeling, it is not impossible to plant poppies in a small area.

In case of a down-and-out Langjun who encounters a powerful slap in the face such as divorce, by chance, he can find the ancient cheats and learn to refine the method to make "peerless good opium", so as to make a fortune and control the major families, serve as the head of the gate valve group, marry the eldest daughter of a beautiful family, and embark on the peak of life

Then it is to control Yu Wenwen, forcibly occupy Wei Chi Chifan, train Yang Lihua, and snatch Xiao Jiuniang, which is unbearable!

"Xiyang Gong?" Yuwen Qiankeng asked with concern, he saw that Yuwen Wen seemed to be a little distracted, wondering if the other party had something on his mind.

"Huh? Your Majesty, Wechen is rude. Yuwen Wen replied, just now his thinking was too divergent, and he almost went crazy with his thoughts, and the change in his expression was noticed, so he hurriedly rounded the field: "Fang Cai was in the Imperial Garden, Wei Chen saw Yu Meiren, and recalled the farewell concubine of the overlord on the bank of the Wujiang River, and was slightly sad. ”

"Beauty? I don't have any concubines, I'm a poppy. Yuwen Qiankeng suddenly realized, "This flower is indeed beautiful, is there one in the south of the mountain?" ”

"Wechen hasn't seen this flower in Anzhou and Bazhou, and as for other places, I don't think I have it." Yuwen Wen replied.

"Then Xiyang Gong will also take some poppy beauties back to cultivate."

"Thank Your Majesty for this Wei Chen's reward, the poppy and the white are red and white, if they are mixed together, it will be beautiful." Yuwen Wen thanked him, since the little emperor spoke, then he pushed the boat with the water.

"Xiyang Gong, let's tell another story." Yuwen Qiankeng's focus is still 'anecdotes'.

"Wechen obeys." Yuwenwen replied, "Wuwei Sima Tian Yilong, who lives in Xiyang County, Bazhou, is good at hunting on weekdays, and one day he went into the mountains with his friends to hunt."

He continued to tell the story, and the previous topic was immediately skipped, Yu Wenwen didn't want to be too positive, so as not to make people suspicious, if this thing was planted unintentionally, then it was better to say, if someone planted it on purpose, then he would definitely be wary of asking for this poppy.

So behave naturally, show that you want this poppy purely for the sake of enjoying the flowers, lest the people behind the scenes guess his intentions, he hopes that he thinks too much, but he still deals with the worst-case scenario.

The poppies have to bring it, and as for some of the hairless plants, they also have to bring it, and as for how to use it when they bring it back, that's a problem.

Find a mountain to plant on a large scale, refine it on a large scale and make a finished product with amazing purity, and then create a Nanyang company franchise, and sell it to what Oriental, Goguryeo, Turkic, and Tibetan places to harm others and turn the other party into opium ghosts, and then the Central Plains army can take advantage of the weakness to enter?

Yu Wenwen thinks that this is too idealistic and does not take into account market issues.

Opium can make people fluttering, so all kinds of big families of princes and nobles are naturally eager to rush to it, but those small countries have limited consumption power, few rich people, and poor people, so the largest consumer market is the Central Plains itself.

The overseas Chinese surnames in Jiangnan, the local tyrants, the Guanlong Group in Guanzhong, the scholars and Haoqiang in Shandong, all of them are rich in financial resources and spend money like dirt, and once this thing appears, it will inevitably be robbed everywhere.

Just like a superpower in later generations, it consumes more than 60% of the world's drugs, and is the world's No. 1 drug consumer.

Controlling opium production and strictly controlling the direction of delivery? This is impossible, opium poppy is not a specialty of the Central Plains, once it becomes popular, those merchants who are moved by the news, or the merchants of the Central Plains in the black heart, will be in line with the principle of maximizing profits, buy the opium sold to the border Fanbang, and sell it back to the Central Plains, which will be more profitable.

Or do everything possible to find out the secret of this kind of thing, Diyega is a product of the Western Regions, the main ingredient is opium, sooner or later the merchants can discover the relationship between the two, grow and refine by themselves, and make high-purity products.

There will also be black sheep in the sales system, who will 'float' the opium sold abroad and then sell it in the hinterland.

With the commercialization of opium, the planting area will not be small, and the more people will be involved, the more difficult it will be to keep secrets, and as long as someone brings out the seeds without permission, it will be a matter of time before the secret is leaked, and then it will be out of control, and the situation will be rotten.

Thinking of the opium halls everywhere in the Central Plains, from the princes and nobles, to the common people, all of them have become yellow-faced and thin-skinned opium ghosts, and people of insight want to ban it, but they can't ban it, and the surrounding Fanbang sharpens knives and huo Huo to pigs and sheep, the scene is too terrifying, so that Yuwenwen only feels cold all over his body.

To be honest, he doesn't really want to touch this thing, he is afraid that he will suffer endlessly if he is not careful, but in the spirit of being prepared, he has some of this thing on hand, in case someone planned to take Diyejia last time, then he will use his own way to treat others.

If someone dares to sin me, I will let him live better than die! ……

Continuing the intermission, Yu Wenwen pretended to visit the Imperial Garden, and once again confirmed that there were indeed a few 'hairless poppies' mixed in the poppy bush, combined with the promotional pictures in his memory, the previous judgment was confirmed.

Looking at the new palace rebuilt in the Ancient Qi Palace, and looking at these flowers and plants that once grew in the Ancient Qi Palace, he couldn't help but think of divergent thoughts and thoughts, thinking of the Gao Qi Kingdom that was destroyed six years ago.

The Northern and Southern Dynasties are the times of many disasters and disasters in the Central Plains, and ordinary people do not know much about it, except for the famous events listed in the history textbooks, when it comes to the Qi State (Northern Qi), many people first think of Gao Changgong, the king of Lanling.

If you go deeper, you know the dragon fight between He Liuhun (Gao Huan) and Black Otter (Yuwentai), He Liuhun's Eastern Wei later became Qi (Northern Qi), and Black Otter's Western Wei later became Zhou (Northern Zhou).

Dig deeper, it is the nickname of the Gao royal family: the neurotic family. After 28 years in the Northern Qi Dynasty, several emperors continued to perform various performances, also known as the Dynasty of Birds and Beasts.

There are six emperors in Gao's Qi Kingdom, they are Shenwu Emperor Gao Huan (posthumously), Wenxiang Emperor Gao Cheng (posthumously), Wenxuan Emperor Gao Yang (Qi Dynasty Wei), Xiaozhao Emperor Gao Yan, Wucheng Emperor Gao Zhan, and Hou Zhu Gao Wei (the king of the dead country).

There are six people in three generations of the Gao family, Gao Huan created a foundation, Gao Cheng, Gao Yang, Gao Yan, and Gao Zhan are all his sons, and Gao Wei is the son of Gao Zhan.

The first is to take his wife and commit adultery, and there are also strange emperors in the north and south who have similar acts, but the Gao emperors directly turned this kind of thing into "the emperor's daily life".

Gao Cheng forced him to marry the minister's wife, Yuan, and became the queen, and forcibly took the wife of the minister Gao Shen, forcibly accepted the wife of the minister Cui Kuo, fornicated with his father Gao Huan's concubine, and married his father's widow, Princess Worm (considered his mother) and had a daughter.

Gao Cheng was assassinated, his younger brother Gao Yang took power, kicked out the puppet Emperor Wei to establish the State of Qi, and then forcibly occupied his sister-in-law and the Empress Dowager Yuan, which was regarded as revenge on his brother Gao Cheng for his wife, and forcibly seized the wife of the minister Cui Xiu, and slaughtered several younger brothers and rewarded the younger brothers and daughters-in-law to the ministers to enjoy.

The wives and daughters of the clan were toyed with by Gao Yang's cronies, and he 'watched the ceremony' by the side, fornicating with the queen's sister and abusing her husband in order to win the beauty.

Gao Yang soon got rid of his illness and died, and his son Gao Yin was taken the throne by his brother Gao Zhan, who first forcibly occupied his sister-in-law Li (Empress Gao Yang) and gave birth to a daughter, and then tortured and killed his son Gao Shaode in front of the Li family, and then included all Gao Yang's concubines in the harem.

Brothers turn against each other, brothers bully brothers, brothers and brothers, brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law become playthings, and every time the wife of the clan with a good face enters the palace routinely to see her, it is no different from going to the Qinglou to sit on the stage, and the lower limit of the royal family is jaw-dropping.

There are also individual top-notch emperors in the Southern Dynasty who have similar behaviors, but such a large-scale concentration in the same family, the Gao family is among the best, one is rare, two bests are very rare, and several bests in a row are rare in the world.

Then there is performance art, Gao Cheng is normal in addition to adultery and murder, and his fourth son Gao Changgong is the famous King of Lanling, and his younger brother Gao Yang began to run away after taking power.

His father and brother held the power of the Eastern Wei Dynasty, but they were still nominally the courtiers of the Eastern Wei Dynasty, and now it was his turn to be the emperor, so the Eastern Wei Dynasty was replaced by the Qi State (Northern Qi), and then Gao Yang, who became the emperor, began to be unscrupulous.

This likes to drink heavily, drinks all night for fun, likes to show his body when he is happy, kills people for no reason, ignores the surprise of civil and military officials during the court, runs naked without saying a word, is not addicted to the palace, and runs naked on the streets of the city.

Then there is 'parkour', on the palace hall, running naked along the ridge of the roof, the agility of the body is amazing, his mother Empress Dowager Lou is angry, fighting drunk and unfilial son, Gao Yang scolded back, "Marry you to Hu Ren with more mouths!" ”

Concubine Xue was quite favored by Gao Yang, but one day he remembered that when Xue had not arrived, he had committed adultery, thinking that he might be cuckolded, so he killed him as a precaution, cut off his head and carried it with him.

Then at the palace banquet, Xue's head was placed on the table, and the minister was invited to the banquet to appreciate the beauty, which shocked the full audience, and he returned to the palace to dismember Xue's body again, and decorated a leg bone to make a pipa, crying while playing and missing the beauty.

When it came to Xue's funeral, Gao Yang followed behind the team again, unkempt and crying heartbreakingly, this kind of performance art was really terrifying.

Today's Great Zhou Prime Minister Shi Cui Da, when he married Gao Cheng's daughter Princess Le'an, Princess Le'an met her uncle Gao Yang when she returned to the palace one day, Gao Yang asked her how she was doing at her husband's house, Princess Le'an said that everything was fine, but her mother-in-law didn't like her.

Gao Yang heard the words "oh", and then killed Cui Da's mother and threw the corpse Zhangshui, the wife's words led to the murder of his mother for no reason, Cui Da wanted to cry without tears, and later Zhou destroyed Qi, so he killed Princess Le'an to avenge his mother.

When Gao Yang's younger brother Gao Zhan ascended the throne, he reigned for four years, except for the slaughter of his nephew, he did not have time to perform new performance art, and his son Gao Wei played more exaggerated after he ascended the throne, and there were countless kinds of performance art.

felt that Gao Changgong, the king of Lanling, was too capable of fighting and killing; felt that Hu Luguang, who was known as the "bright moon of the Northern Dynasty", was a threat and killed. After killing all the loyal ministers and good generals, the Zhou army also attacked.

At the time of the decisive battle between the two armies of Zhou and Qi, Gao Wei didn't know which tendon was missing in his brain, and he had a lot of fun with his favorite concubine Feng Xiaolian, and the late Tang Dynasty poet Li Shangyin had "Two Songs of Northern Qi", which was written about Gao Wei's deeds:

One of them: If you fall in love with each other, you will die, and you will be hurt by the thorns. The little pity jade body is lying in the night, and it has been reported to Zhou Shi to enter Jinyang.

Second: Qiaoxiao knows that there are tens of thousands of enemies, and Allure is the most dressed in clothes. Jinyang has been rested and reviewed, and the king is invited to hunt around.

Thinking about this group of wonders, Yu Wenwen couldn't help but shake his head, the emperor holds the supreme imperial power, it can be said that he wants the wind to be the wind and the rain, once there is no limit, he indulges in wanton desires, and the woman he likes will be on whoever she wants, and she will kill whoever she doesn't like.

According to him, in addition to the family hereditary mental illness, there are other reasons that contribute to this phenomenon, such as extremely distorted psychology is one of them, some kinds of learning is the other, the political purpose of using madness is the third, and alcoholism and indulgence are aiding and abusive.

Not to mention that the drunken behavior is out of control, the poppy that appears in the palace now is also one of the triggers, similar to the Wushisan that helped the fun in the Wei and Jin dynasties, and the medicine with opium ingredients when he was drunk, he pushed it when he saw a woman, and killed someone who was unhappy, moody and perverse.

'Poppy, how much evil false thy power! Yu Wenwen scolded in his heart, and he was speechless when he thought of the various neurotic manifestations of the Gao Emperors, the serious symptoms of persecution delusions.

I always feel like someone is going to hurt me all day long, as if I feel this way! (To be continued.) )
