Chapter 53: There Is Wine Today

Zhao Jun led his troops out and defeated Yan State, and the news was transmitted back to Handan. In Handan City, there are many people. Zhao Bao led hundreds of officials out of Handan City to greet him. Handan is also an empty alley for thousands of people to welcome this triumphant return. Zhao Yong led the army and walked on the broad road. The soldiers were five in a row, neatly aligned. The soldiers of the Zhao army gathered into a long dragon, and there was no end in sight.

Zhao Bao, standing in the distance and seeing the mighty division of his country, smiled at everyone: "Everyone, the king is back." ”

Zhao Xie led the army in front, and when he saw Xiangbang personally greeting him, he raised his right hand high, "Stop." ”

The soldiers in the front row saw the gesture of the main general and stopped.

Mu Jian said excitedly: "Your Majesty, Xiangbang and hundreds of officials are here. ”

Zhao Bao stepped forward, led the hundred officials, and arched his hand: "Ministers, congratulations on your triumphant return." ”

"The widow is not in Handan for a long time, you have worked hard." After speaking, Zhao Yong raised his head and stared at the top of the city gate, the word 'Handan'. Handan is the capital of Zhao State. Everything is there. The towers were tall and majestic, and even the streets were a few feet wider than the rest of the city.

Zhao Bao stepped aside and said, "I respectfully invite you to return to the palace." ”

Baiguan got up and said, "Please, the king will return to the palace." ”

Zhao Yong didn't answer, still staring at Handan City. Facing this city, he felt a lot of emotion. He was born and raised in Handan, and he has never paid attention to this city at this moment. The Handan Trouble, which was initiated by the Wei State back then, has been gone for more than 20 years. The ruins left behind by the war no longer exist. However, those years of hardship and hardship cannot be forgotten. Zhao Yong stood under the city of Handan, and he pondered? How can we enrich the country and strengthen the army, so that Handan can stand proudly.

"Your Majesty." Mu Jian said with concern: "What's wrong with you." When you return from the Northern Expedition, are you tired? Xiangbang and the ministers are waiting for you to reply. ”

Zhao Yong came back to his senses, shouted to everyone, and said, "Xiangbang, please sit in this car with the widow and go back to Handan together." ”

Zhao Bao was a little flattered and said, "Your Majesty, this..."

Zhao Yong saw that he wanted to excuse himself, and said: "When the widow went north, Xiangbang sat in Handan. If it weren't for Xiangbang personally supervising the grain and grass, the front-line soldiers would be hungry and fighting with the Yan people. If it weren't for you, the widow would have no worries. Widows, how can they fight against the Yan Kingdom with all their might. Handan City is in order and has recovered its vitality, all of which are due to Xiangbang. ”

Zhao Bao arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty..."

Zhao Yong cut off: "Glory, the widow shares it with you." ”

Zhao Bao arched his hand and boarded Zhao Jun's car.

Zhao Yong raised his hand, waved forward, and said, "Go back to the palace." ”

Zhao Xie turned over and got on his horse, raised his voice and shouted, "Go back to the palace." ”

The ministers and the people got out of the way, sat on both sides, sang happily, and said, "Welcome Zhao Jun back to the palace." Zhao Jun is deeply blessed, and Zhao Guozuo is eternal. ”

Zhao Bao watched everyone and enjoyed this glory. On the side, he looked at Zhao Jun sideways, and saw that he was full of grace and expression, he sighed in his heart and said: "After the Yan Zhao War, Zhao Jun's reputation has been greatly enhanced, and it is known all over the world. Zhao Jun's prestige and virtue penetrated into the ears of the princes and the people. Zhao Jun's position, no matter who it is, can not shake half a point. The ancestor has his son, and he should also be proud. Zhao has its own monarch, which is a fortunate thing. ”

Back in the Zhao Palace, Zhao Jun ordered that all generals above the hundred-man age could enter the palace and drink fine wine. Those below 100 cents can drink freely outside the temple. Handan Zhao Palace, silk and bamboo wind music, a song and dance.

At this time, in the center of the main hall, there were thirty soldiers, each separated by a distance, wearing ghost tools, holding long swords, wearing black clothes, dancing to the sound of drums.

This dance is a ghost dance, which is used to pay tribute to the fallen soldiers.

After three incense sticks, the ghost dance ends. Zhao Jun raised the bottle and shouted: "Everyone, with the widows, pay tribute to the soldiers who died for Zhao in this battle." ”

Everyone stood up, held the wine bottle high, and looked at Zhao Jun.

Zhao Yong, with a sad face, tilted the wine bottle in his hand, and the wine fell to the ground, making a clattering sound.

And all the people, following the king, sprinkled the wine in the cup to the earth.

The three bottles of sake are sacrificed. Zhao Yong walked down the steps, faced everyone, swept away the previous sadness, and shouted to everyone: "There is wine in the widow's palace, drink with you." If you don't get drunk, you can't return. ”

The crowd shouted in unison and said, "No." ”

Zhao Yong, after drinking with all the soldiers. walked up to Zhao Bao again, held the wine bottle and said, "Xiangbang is hard, the widow will toast you a few glasses." ”

Zhao Bao is a boy of the Zhao family, how can he not drink, holding a wine glass and drinking with Zhao Jun. After a few bottles of wine, Zhao Bao felt a little that his alcohol strength was not good, so he said: "Your Excellency, the minister is not good at drinking." After drinking this bottle, you must not drink it again. ”

Zhao Yong said: "It is reported that Xiangbang is very good at drinking, but there are thousands of cups that are not drunk. Today, I have only drunk a few bottles, how can I say that the wine is not good. Xiangbang, are you disgusted with the wine in the widow's palace, is it unpleasant? ”

Zhao Bao hurriedly said: "The wine of the king is a fine wine." It's just that the minister is old, and the wine is not good. ”

Zhao Yong glared at him, burped, leaned crookedly, turned to face everyone, and said, "Everyone, Xiangbang has worked hard and made great achievements, what do you say to do." ”

The crowd shouted, "Drink." ”

Zhao Yong, facing Zhao Bao, said drunkly: "Xiangbang, you listen to the voices of the audience." ”

Zhao Bao smiled bitterly, he really couldn't help it, so he took the wine bottle and drank a few more bottles.

Zhao Yong saw it and said with a smile: "Xiangbang, good amount of wine." Ladies and gentlemen, you have a cup of peace for the widows. ”

The status of everyone is low, and they usually don't even have the opportunity to meet Xiangbang. Today, it is the supreme virtue to be able to drink with Xiangbang. So, they all held wine bottles and toasted Xiangbang. Zhao Bao usually treats people well, treats everyone with a toast, and responds with a bottle.

Zhao Yong smiled as he squeezed through the crowd and walked to the main seat frivolously. Sitting on the main seat, his eyes were closed, and his mouth kept saying, "Good wine, good wine." Drink, everybody. ”

At this time, the night is late, and the Handan Palace is still brightly lit. The banquet will not end until dawn.

Zhao Yong had fun with all the soldiers and drank a few jars of Zhao wine. The eunuch ordered Han Zhong, seeing that he was drunk, and ordered the maid to send the king back to the palace to rest. Zhao Yong woke up with a terrible headache. The maid had already prepared the decoction and sent it over.

Zhao Yong took the warm decoction and drank it in one gulp, and he got a lot better.

Han Zhong walked in.

Zhao Yong asked, "Last night, everyone drank to their heart's content. ”

Han Zhong arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty, today is the third day. ”

Zhao Yong was stunned for a moment, looked at him and said, "What." The widow was drunk for three days. ”

Han Zhong nodded.

Zhao Yong held his head, he still didn't believe that today was the third day.

Han Zhong said, "Your Majesty, you should drink less of this thing!" ”

"It's rare to be happy, Da Ling, you can let the widow indulge yourself." Zhao Yong, seeing that he was about to speak, changed the topic and said, "Xiangbang, how is it." ”

"Xiangbang also drank too much and was drunk for two days."

Zhao Yong laughed and said, "It seems that there are more than one happy person. ”

Han Zhong laughed in his heart. If it weren't for the king asking everyone to toast Xiangbang, Xiangbang couldn't hide, how could he be drunk like that. Han Zhong suddenly thought of something, and said, "Your Majesty, the main hall is completed, you are sober, why don't you go and take a look." ”

Zhao Yong was stunned and said, "The main hall? ”

"Your Majesty, the new temple you ordered someone to build has been completed."

"Oh", Zhao Yong remembered this, waved his hand, and said excitedly: "Da Ling, don't you want to order someone to wash and change clothes for the widow." ”

"No."

"Wait." Zhao Yong was silent for a while, and said: "All the ministers who enjoy more than 500 stones, you will summon me, and the widow will go with them to see the newly built hall." ”

"No." Han Zhong bowed and retreated.

The new hall is located in the north of Handan.

Zhao Yong lifted the curtain and jumped out of the car. At this time, the sky is clear and cloudless. The sun shines on the water, sparkling. Above the new hall, dozens of happy birds crisscrossed the world. Zhao Yong looked at the magnificent and dominating palace in front of him, and was very happy in his heart, and said happily: "Okay." ”

The entourage was also attracted by this palace and expressed their admiration. This hall is comparable to the Zhao Palace.

Zhao Yong smiled at Mu Jian and said, "Who built this palace?" Go, and call the widow. The widow shall reward him heavily. ”

After a short time, the man who built the palace came and said, "Meet your lordship." ”

The one who came, about forty-five years old.

Zhao Yong asked, "What's your name?" ”

The man said, "Nickname, Dong Yuyue." ”

Zhao Yong, seeing that his words and deeds were good, a name appeared in the depths of his mind, and asked, "Dong Anyu, who are you?" ”

Dong Yuyue, his eyes rippling, said: "It is the ancestor." ”

Zhao Yong nodded and said, "Dong Anyu is building Jinyang City, which is as solid as gold. The Zhi clan united with Han Wei and attacked me together. Ancestor Zhao Xiangzi defended this city. The three families besieged me for a year, but they couldn't conquer it. In the battle of Jinyang, my Zhao clan was able to reverse the disadvantage. My Zhao family is wise and long-lasting, and I have your Dong family's merits. ”

Dong Yuyue mentioned the ancestors when he saw it, and his nose was sour.

Zhao Yong, looking up at the palace, stared at it for a long time, and asked: "Dong Yuyue, this palace can have a name." ”

Dong Yuyue bowed his head and said, "Please give this name." ”

"Yan has Wu Balcony, Han has Zheng Palace, Chu has Yangchun Palace, Qin has Xianyang, Qi has Linzi, and Wei has Daliang. The palace of the widow should be given a good name, so that it can be famous among the princes and famous all over the world. Zhao Yong stared at the palace for a long time, constantly searching for domineering words in his mind. The naming of this new hall should not only be magnificent, novel and unique, but also conform to the scenery in the temple. If you can listen to its name, you can think of the grandeur of this temple, and it was great at that time.

This hall, majestic and magnificent, the architectural style is peculiar, there are many pavilions and pavilions, there are overpasses, snow caves, flower gardens, makeup pavilions on the platform, put yourself in them, make people linger and forget to return, only the princely countries do not have. Zhao Yong has words in his mouth, "Zhao Palace has a dragon platform, watching the world." This palace pavilion is numerous and gathers not one, extends in all directions, and the eye field is empty and quiet. Tower? Well, how about the widow taking Congtai. ”

Dong Yuyue said, "Congtai Pavilion." ”

"Widow, name it Congtai Palace." Zhao Yong, facing everyone, said with high spirits: "The widow wants to shed the great cause of eternal recitation here, and let the world sing it." ”

Dong Yuyue bowed down and welcomed Zhao Jun and the ministers into the new hall. Each step of the way will introduce the significance of the planning and construction of this palace. Entering the main hall, Zhao Yong ordered people to bring wine to celebrate the completion of the palace.

"In ancient times, Dong An was built in Jinyang City. Today, Dong Yuyue built Congtai Palace. Zhao Yong took the wine and said to everyone: "Everyone, we toast them." ”

Zhao Yong craned his neck and drank all the wine in the cup. Holding the wine bottle, he tasted: "This wine is not from Zhao Palace." ”

Dong Yuyue arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, in order to commemorate the completion of the main hall." Chen, specially invited a master to make wine. ”

"Oh." Zhao Yong tasted the wine in the cup and asked, "Wine is good wine." Wherever this man is on his body, the widow wants to see him. ”

Dong Yuyue bowed his head and said: "After the master made the wine, he left the recipe for winemaking, explained some matters, and left. I don't know where this person is. ”

Not being able to see the master, Zhao Yong felt a little regretful, and said with a lost look in his eyes: "It's a pity!" This master can't be seen by a few people. ”

"Your Majesty, this wine has no name yet, please give it a name."

Zhao Yong saw that the wine was mellow and delicious. It was specially brewed by the master for the newly built Congtai Palace, Zhao Yong thought for a while, and said: "Zhao Palace has Zhao wine, Congtai Palace has Congtai wine." widow, name it Congtai. Zhao Yong, full of spirits, said: "Widow, not only Congtai Palace is famous all over the world, but also Congtai wine is famous all over the world." Ladies and gentlemen, there is wine today, and we will drink together. ”
