As the saying goes: there is no banquet in the world that will not be dispersed.

An ordinary Liu family banquet quietly came to an end in Lu Pheasant's seemingly joking proposal.

The Liu clansmen, who were full of wine and food, also said goodbye to the Queen Mother Lu Pheasant and the Son of Heaven Liu Ying, and then returned to their respective mansions.

When the banquet was over, Liu Ying, the son of heaven, was already drunk, and was supported by his younger brother Liu Heng to return to the dormitory.

Seeing that his son was helped back, Lu Pheasant did not leave in a hurry, but pulled Liu Heng's biological mother, Mrs. Bo, the current acting queen mother, to start a family routine in the Xuanshu Palace.

The rest of the princes and clansmen also said goodbye to each other outside the palace gate, and agreed to send Liu Fei, the king of Qi, to set off the day after tomorrow, and then took their respective kings.

Liu Hui, the king of Liang, and Liu You, the king of Huaiyang, rubbed their foreheads since they were on the chariot - for the two who were only six or seven years old, the damage of alcohol was still a little difficult to resist;

As for Liu Chang, the king of Yan, who was full of wine and food, and Liu Jian, the king of Zhao, who was drowsy, and the two brothers, they returned to Changle Palace in the same car and slept separately;

But among the sons of the first emperors and the Liu clan, there are three people who are destined to stay awake all night.

——Liu Ze, the Marquis of Yingling, who was excited by Lu Pheasant's proposal;

helped the emperor's brother back to the dormitory, but Liu Yingqiang left Liu Heng, the acting king of 'long talks';

and, as soon as he got into the carriage, he trembled and ordered the coachman to 'return home quickly'······

·

After returning to the palace, Liu Fei was only completely drunk, and paced back and forth in the main hall of the palace with a worried face.

When the people in the house saw their own king like this, although they were confused, they didn't dare to come forward to ask at all.

Watching Liu Fei pacing back and forth anxiously, coming to the door of the hall from time to time, and looking in the direction of the door of the mansion, everyone became more and more confused.

Fortunately, after a while, Liu Fei's long-awaited figure finally hurried outside the hall gate······

"Ministers of Qi Nei, meet ······"

"Neishi, please get up!"

Without waiting for the middle-aged man to salute, Liu Fei hurriedly stepped forward and helped the man up.

After that, without waiting for the man to ask, Liu Fei pulled the man into the hall, and immediately turned back coldly.

"All step back !!"

"Dare to have eavesdroppers! Tribe!!!!!! ”

The sudden loud shout provoked all the people in the palace to disperse immediately, and they couldn't wait to be a hundred steps away from the main hall where Liu Fei was, so that they could feel a little at ease.

Seeing Liu Fei's posture, the man's face sank, and his already serious face immediately became even more serious.

As the domestic history of the princes at the level of more than 2,000 stones, this man named Shi should not have appeared in Chang'an at this moment.

——According to the personal order of Emperor Taizu Gao Liu Bang, and there is a system of the princes and dynasties pilgrimage to Chang'an drawn up by Fengchang's uncle Sun Tong, the princes of Chang'an only need to bring the king's prime minister.

As for the internal history in charge of the affairs of the state and the lieutenant in charge of the military affairs, they should stay in the vassal state and preside over the affairs of the princes.

But last year, the two former Qi ministers Fu Kuan and Cao Shen were transferred from the former emperor Liu Bang; Fu Kuan, Marquis of Yangling, went to be the minister of state on behalf of the country, and Cao Shen, Marquis of Pingyang, entered the dynasty and served as the imperial historian.

Although at the beginning of this year, the Empress Dowager Lu Pheasant ordered the appointment of Sijun, the younger uncle of Liu Fei, the king of Qi, as the minister of Qi, but last year, when Taizu Liu Bang died, there was no minister of state in Qi.

It is precisely because of this that in accordance with the principle of 'pulling generals from the dwarf', the historian of Qi Nei replaced Qi Xiang, who was supposed to accompany Liu Fei to Beijing, and followed Liu Fei to Chang'an.

For this internal history, Liu Fei, the king of Qi, is also very respectful, and when he encounters changes, he is even more obedient to the words of the internal historian.

Now, Liu Fei, the king of Qi, has suffered the biggest change that has befallen him since the Han Dynasty;

And this time, Liu Fei, who lost the advice of Fu Kuan and Cao Shen, could only pin all his hopes on this little person who was only forty years old and even unknown in the Chang'an court: Qi Nei Shishi······

"Today's family banquet, the Queen Mother said that she was a widow, but she was willing to cut the soil to camp the marquis!"

Without the slightest beataround and a twist, as soon as he sat down, Liu Fei put the problems he encountered on the table concisely and straightforwardly.

"The Queen Mother's words seemed to be joking, and the widow didn't know why, so she didn't say anything clearly; Unexpectedly, the Queen Mother's color changed immediately, and she didn't talk about it again! ”

"At the end of the banquet, the queen mother said again: The king of Huainan is in the country of Liuan, and the eldest brother of the king of the widow is the king of Huainan from time to time to admonish to prevent Huainan from regenerating rebellion!"

"After that, the Queen Mother gave the widow two bottles of aged wine to toast the banquet······"

"The queen mother gives wine, and the king can drink ?!!"

Hearing Liu Fei talk about Lu Pheasant's tentative opening and reminding Liu Fei to 'stare at Liu Ruyi, the king of Huainan', Nei Shishi's face only became more and more gloomy;

When he heard the last sentence of 'give the widow two bottles of old wine', Nei Shishi's face tightened, and he only bounced up from his sitting position!

Seeing this, Liu Fei only shook his head blankly, and stood up with a frightened expression.

"How dare a widow?!"

"Since the Han Dynasty, whenever there is a banquet in the palace, the Queen Mother will always say, 'I don't like food and wine', and even if she does, she is silent!"

"Today, the Queen Mother is abnormal, and she only gives wine to the widow, how dare the widow drink it?!!"

Hearing Liu Fei say this sentence 'how dare he', Nei Shishi only breathed a sigh of relief, although he sat back in his seat, the expression on his face was even more gloomy.

When Liu Fei also sat back in his seat in a panic, the internal historian finally turned pale and looked up at Liu Fei.

"Fortunately, the Queen Mother gave wine, but the king did not drink it!"

"If not, I am afraid that the king will already die at this moment!!"

The firm words made Liu Fei's face suddenly stagnate, and a little cold sweat immediately broke out on his forehead.

However, he saw that the internal historian continued to take care of himself: "Since the time of Yin Shang, although the wine in the world is different because of its materials, it is not clear and turbid. ”

"Those who are clear are the ones who repeatedly filter the grains in the wine when making wine, so that they can be clear, so the wine will be expensive; and turbidity, it is the people's own brewing and not very filtered, containing more grains, its turbidity, its price is appropriate. ”

"However, those who drink turbid wine are not only bad wine, but if it is old wine, it will also occasionally be turbid and strong!"

Hearing this, Liu Fei only nodded hurriedly: "That's true!" ”

"The wine given by the Queen Mother is indeed turbid and does not see the bottom of the bottle, and the taste is strong and pungent!"

I saw that the inner historian nodded slightly, and between his eyebrows, there was also a faint sadness.

"Those who drink turbidity, one is inferior, and the other is old; and feast the guests, and if they drink turbid wine, they will be suspected of neglect. ”

"Therefore, since the spring and autumn period, there will be no bad wine in all feasts."

"That is, the wine of the banquet guests, the clear is expensive, and the turbid is the old ······"

As he spoke, Nei Shishi couldn't help but take a deep breath and looked at Liu Fei's gaze, becoming even more and more worried.

"According to the old practice, if the young, the old, or the woman came to the banquet, they would be feasted with sake."

"But if it is not a great joy, and the banquet is all strong, there are few people who set up wine for the sake of aging······"

Hearing this, Liu Fei nodded thoughtfully.

In Liu Fei's memory, since he can remember, he has basically drunk sake with a softer taste and lighter flavor;

As for the inferior turbid wine in the mouth of the internal historian, Liu Fei had never seen it or heard of it.

However, it is a slightly cloudy old wine due to aging, Liu Fei once met his deceased father Liu Bang, and used it to entertain the generals of the court after the war.

Thinking of this, Liu Fei nodded secretly, looking at the gaze of the inner historian, and it became more and more urgent.

——Liu Fei is eager to know: how did the internal historian judge that the two bottles of old wine given by the Empress Dowager Lu Pheasant must not be drunk!

Seeing the meaning of inquiry in Liu Fei's eyes, Nei Shishi took a deep breath again, and secretly struggled for a long time, before finally gritting his teeth a little and leaning forward a little.

"The king doesn't know ······"

"Since the Spring and Autumn Period, whenever someone wants to kill with wine (zhèn), it must be old wine!"

"Why?"

"——Bad wine is not a feast, and good wine is too clear and too light!"

"Although the bad wine is turbid, it is not liked by people, and the good wine is too clear and too light, if it is melted in the wine with poison, the sake is also turbid, and the poisonous smell is also tangy!"

"Therefore, only with the old wine as the duck, the turbidity and strength of the old wine can hide the turbidity of the color and the taste of the poison!"

Speaking of this, Nei Shishi only raised his head with palpitations, and looked at Liu Fei's gaze, which was full of fear.

"Today's family banquet, but Your Majesty wants to gather in the clan in the name of 'feasting the king', so as to tie the clan friendship;"

"——Such an ordinary family banquet, why does the Queen Mother need to ban the aged wine?"

"If you go out, why don't you go out early and drink it for everyone, but first take sake as a feast, and then give the old wine to the king alone?!"

"What's more, before giving wine, the queen mother once said that the king would cut the soil, and when the king did not say anything, she would give the old wine ······"

Hearing this, Liu Fei finally reacted, and a little cold sweat immediately broke out on his freshly wiped forehead.

"Queen Mother ······"

"Want to kill the widow?!"

Hearing this, Nei Shishi did not nod, but only took the opportunity to bow his head and winked at Liu Fei in a hidden way.

I saw Liu Fei sit back in his seat with a dull gaze, his eyes were stunned for a long time, and then he finally woke up from his seat like a dream!

"Sir, save me!"

Seeing that his own king bowed to himself with a frightened expression, the inner historian did not get up as usual, saying that he 'could not afford such a heavy gift'.

——It's not that the internal historian feels that he deserves to worship Liu Fei, but that the internal historian is also in a hurry in his heart at this moment······

The Queen Mother wants to kill someone, who can stop her?

If the housewife wants to kill her concubine, who dares to stop her?

The most important thing is: this queen mother, this housemother, is Lu Pheasant!

Who can stop it, who dares to stop it, and who can stop it?

If the former emperor Liu Bang was still alive, he might be able to save Liu Fei;

If Liu Ying had the courage to go against her mother today, she might also be able to save Liu Fei's life.

But in any case, the person who can save Liu Fei in the hands of the Empress Dowager Lu Pheasant is by no means an internal historian, such a mere county and country of 2,000 stones······

"Cut the soil to the king's camp and the marquis ······"

"Admonishing the King of Huainan ······"

His eyes let out two murmurs, and the inner historian finally narrowed his eyes slightly, and his eyes gradually focused.

Seeing that Liu Fei was still standing in front of him, the internal historian didn't care about being polite, helped Liu Fei up slightly, and looked at Liu Fei solemnly.

"The minister only asked the king."

"—The Queen Mother gives wine, King, how do you avoid it?"

Hearing this, Liu Fei only swallowed anxiously, and said without hesitation for a moment: "Your Majesty!" ”

"The Queen Mother gave two bottles of old wine, so that the widow toasted the banquet, and His Majesty was already slightly drunk, so he took one of them and said to the widow to wish the widow!"

"Seeing His Majesty raise wine, the Queen Mother laughed and got up, snatched the wine bottle from His Majesty's hand, and said: Your Majesty is not strong enough to drink, and he has not yet been crowned, so he should not drink more."

"Hearing the Queen Mother's words, Your Majesty didn't say much, only from the Queen Mother's order to stop the banquet, and return to bed for the king······"

Hearing this, the inner historian only nodded heavily, and the look of horror in his eyes also eased slightly.

"That is, the Queen Mother gave wine, and Your Majesty didn't know, this matter still has room to turn around!"

Hearing this, Liu Fei only hurriedly gave up his hand again: "Dare to ask Mr. for advice!" ”

I saw that Nei Shishi nodded slightly, and looked at Liu Fei solemnly.

"That is, the queen mother said clearly that she wants the king to cut off a county, and the king camps the marquis, this is the queen mother's land for the king!"

"The Marquis of Lingling is also a side branch of the clan; The queen mother used the king to explore the king with the marquis of Yingling, and her original intention was probably not the marquis of Yingling, or the king would only cut off one county······"

As he spoke, the expression on his face became more and more confident.

"When the minister heard that the year before, when Emperor Taizu Gao was crowned King of Wu, His Majesty once called King Wu: All the places near the sea of Wu should make Shaofu travel smoothly to seek salt profits."

"Now the country of Qi, Langya County is also near the sea, if the king cuts Langya to the king camp mausoleum, so that Shaofu can regain the place near the sea of Langya, and then seek salt profits, then Your Majesty will be happy."

After saying that, Nei Shishi finally nodded to himself, pulled Liu Fei, and sat down in his seat.

"If the king wants to retreat from Chang'an this time, I am afraid that this is the only way."

"——Tomorrow, the king will go to Changle and go to the queen mother, but he said: Yesterday's family banquet, drinking a little too much, there was a gaffe."

"Then, the king invited himself to rip the soil Langya, and the king camped the marquis, with the friendship of the whole clan;"

"And Lu Yuanzhu is the eldest sister, and now there is no Tang Mu Zhiyi, the king is very frightened, so he wants to split Chengyang County and Lu Yuanzhu, with the love of the whole sister."

"In this way, the Marquis of Yingling won Wang Langya, and His Majesty made Shaofu gain salt; Lu Yuanzhu Chengyang thought that Tang Mu was the city, and the Queen Mother and the Marquis of Xuanping were happy. ”

"If this is the case, the Queen Mother is still unhappy with the king, and Your Majesty and the Marquis of Xuanping should also be born, and the queen mother will speak for the king······"

Hearing this, Liu Fei only straightened up thoughtfully, and looked at the inner historian with confusion.

"Cutting Langya, Chengyang Two Counties ······"

"The widow has the king Qi, but there are only six counties and seventy-three cities······"

Hearing Liu Fei's words, the internal historian only nodded heavily.

"Yes."

"The king has six counties and seventy-three cities, so there is today's disaster!"

"If you don't cut the two counties to Ann the Queen Mother, when the wine arrives outside the mansion, I am afraid that the king will want to cut the three counties and four counties, and even resign from the throne of the king of Qi, it will be too late······"

"Cut Langya and Chengyang, then Dawang Sheji can survive, and there will still be four counties and fifty cities;"

"But if you don't cut ······"

"The king still remembers the story of the previous year, when the king of Huainan was still the king of Zhao, and he 'intended to rebel' in Chang'an······"
