Chapter 158: Birthday Ceremony (3)
"And what do you want?"
Chonghua looked at Zhong Weiwei, his black eyes had a faint moisture in them, his lips were red and his teeth were white, seductive and sinful.
Wine is a color matchmaker, and the ancients did not deceive me.
Zhong Weiwei looked away with difficulty, and the lion opened his mouth: "For the sake of Your Majesty and the eldest son of the emperor, Weichen's good years are buried in this palace wall."
If you have a home, you can't go back, and you can't see your relatives, so you have to make up for Weichen. ”
"Do you have a home?"
Chonghua was very polite and sprinkled salt on her wounds: "Cangshan is Master's home, not your home."
You and Zhong Hao are only temporarily borrowing, if I remember correctly, when Master met you, you two were wandering and homeless. ”
Can you still talk happily?
Zhong Weiwei gritted his teeth: "It is precisely because Weichen is so poor that he wants His Majesty to give him something real." ”
Chonghua actually wants to say, I'm here, it's your home, okay?
When the words came to his mouth, he said: "Cangshan is not your home, the capital can be your home." Is this reward enough? ”
Zhong Weiwei shook his head: "Although the capital is good, it is not Weichen's hometown. Weichen just wants a good tea garden, to ensure that my sister and brother have no worries about food and clothing, and no longer be displaced, okay? ”
Chonghua nodded indifferently: "Okay." How about I give you the Lanjiang Tea Garden? ”
Lanjiang Tea Garden?
Zhong Weiwei almost knocked over the wine glass in front of him.
Like the tea plantations of the Purple Bamboo Shoot Palace, the Lanjiang Tea Garden is one of the top tea gardens in the country of Li, and it is also the best tea garden in the royal family.
The price of tea produced in the garden is higher than gold, and it is either a tribute or used to participate in the tea fight.
As long as she receives the Lanjiang Tea Garden, she will almost have to do a lifetime for the royal family.
Chonghua must not have a good heart when he gave her this tea garden, right?
The second senior brother is really good at arithmetic, look at how well this arithmetic problem is done.
Zhong Weiwei cleared his throat: "This reward is too heavy, Weichen doesn't dare to accept it." Weichen only needs a tea garden with abundant products.
Hu slave envoys, Huawu Mansion or something, Wei Chen didn't dare to think about it, just enough for life, enough for Zhong Yuan's medical expenses. ”
Chonghua knew what she was thinking when he saw her expression, and got straight to the point: "Lanjiang Tea Garden gave it to you, it's yours."
You are free to buy and sell the tea leaves inside, without making tributes or offerings, and you can do whatever you want. Of course, I have conditions. ”
Zhong Weiwei propped his chin and looked at Chonghua, revealing an expression of "I knew you weren't well-intentioned", and he didn't hide it at all.
Chonghua looked directly into her eyes and said in a deep voice: "The tea garden is for you, you don't have to do the affairs of Tongshi, and you don't have to worry about the disputes in the harem."
But you have to promise me to concentrate on studying the tea ceremony, defeat Mei Xun at next year's tea fighting conference, and win the tea monopoly for Li Guo next year. ”
Because the tea farmers in Liguo lost their tea monopoly rights, Zhong Weiwei had a good idea of what kind of life they were doing.
Even his father's death was because of this tea fight.
Zhong Weiwei couldn't refuse Chonghua's request: "I'm only worried that I am not capable enough and will lose His Majesty's face." ”
Mei Xun was like an invincible myth, standing in front of her.
She was not sure of defeating him, although she wanted to defeat him very badly.
But this kind of thing is all based on strength, and it is not something that can be done by thinking about it.
Chonghua chuckled: "You're thinking too much." I need this victory to earn a few thin faces, but one more defeat won't make a difference.
After all, the things that the first emperors couldn't solve couldn't be solved as soon as I took the throne. Right? ”
It is probably because the self-brewed fruit wine has more stamina, or it may be because the pork head meat is too delicious.
He was in a good mood and talked eloquently: "More than ten years ago, Mei Xun's master, the old man Hejie, was born to replace Dongling, and defeated Liguo Dasi Cha Qiuze at the tea fighting conference for two consecutive years, achieving the reputation of being the first in the world. ”
Zhong Weiwei stared at the candle flame jumping in front of him, and remembered a face of sadness, self-blame, shame and pain.
With a cramp in his heart, he hid his hand in his sleeve and clenched it into a fist.
"Liguo's great priest Cha Qiuze lost his tea monopoly because of two consecutive defeats, which caused Liguo to lose his tea monopoly rights. Emperor Zhenzong was already furious, and it happened that someone accused him of treason, and it was confirmed after a check.
was not only beheaded for the crime, but also caused disaster to the family disciples, and beheaded all over the house, which was notorious. Since then, the old man of the Crane Festival has been invincible and rampant in the world.
There are many people who are not convinced, and go to the old man of the Crane Festival to challenge, but they all fail miserably.
The old man of the crane festival said that if Qiu Ze was still alive, he might be able to fight with him, and as for the others, they were just floating clouds.
Liguo lost too badly, the people made a lot of trouble, and some people said that Qiu Ze was wronged and framed by villains.
The imperial court couldn't withstand the pressure, so it was blamed on Emperor Zhenzong for being too anxious and impulsive, even if Qiu Ze did something wrong, the descendants and clansmen of the Qiu family also had good talents.
This time it's good, even the descendants of the Xuexi Qiu family have been killed, so it's no wonder if they don't lose.
Emperor Zhenzong was furious when he heard this, not only severely punished the person who spoke for Qiu Ze, but also spoke out in front of the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty, saying that Qiu Ze bullied the king and committed treason, and the evidence is conclusive!
What will this kind of traitor do when he stays? Even if there are people from the Qiu clan who escaped through the net, they are definitely traitors who eat inside and out, and kill one by one.
He didn't do anything wrong, and left a will, the Xuexi Qiu clan will always be a pariah, and the emperors of later generations will never change it. ”
The true sect he spoke of was his uncle, the elder brother of the Yongdi who had the same father and mother.
The first throne did not fall to the Chonghua branch, but was snatched away by the Emperor Zhenzong from the Lu clan.
The Emperor Zhenzong has never been able to give birth to children, and because of the execution of Qiu Ze and the Qiu clan, the Li State has been defeated in Dongling one after another at the Tea Fighting Conference.
The mountains of tea leaves in Dongling could not be sold, they were moldy and rotten, the tea farmers and tea merchants had no food to eat, and there was a lot of opposition and boos in the country.
But he was helpless, he couldn't afford to get sick, and he died depressed, and the throne fell to Emperor Yong.
The old man of the Crane Festival was not majestic for a few years, and soon died because he was involved in the battle of Dongling.
Emperor Yongdi took this opportunity to do everything possible to discover and cultivate tea ceremony talents, and finally won a few rounds at the tea fighting conference and was on an equal footing with Dongling.
But this balance did not last long, as the skills of Mei Xun, the disciple of the old man of the Crane Festival, became more and more refined, and Chen Junqing, the great priest of the Li Kingdom, gradually became no match for him.
By this year, at the tea fighting conference, Liguo has lost for three consecutive years. What generations of emperors can't do, it's impossible for me to do it just after I succeed to the throne, you have to give me a little time. ”
Chonghua said slowly: "So, even if you lose at next year's tea fight, it's nothing, I can afford to wait." ”
Zhong Weiwei was silent, Chonghua said easily, but if he loses again next year, the tea will not be sold, and the tea farmers will have no food to eat, so they will inevitably rebel, and his pressure can be imagined. (To be continued.) )
