Chapter 682: Talking about the country with wine
The capital of the Song Kingdom, Shangqiu.
At this time, on the bank of the Suishui River, singing and dancing are leveling, and the sound of silk and bamboo is endless.
Qingji and Ziluan led their respective ministers and doctors, sitting on the square platform, pushing cups and changing lamps, and staggering, all of which were scenes of joy for the guests and hosts.
The good-looking dancers are dressed in various colors, waving their water sleeves, swaying their graceful waists, and dancing to the sound of silk and bamboo.
Between that smile and smile, it is quite touching......
"Marquis Wu, come, the widow respects you!"
As the host, Ziluan raised the wine lord and smiled politely at Qingji, who was sitting opposite.
"Song Gong, drink together, drink together!"
Qingji chuckled, and then picked up the wine, covered his face with his sleeves, and drank the wine.
"Song Gong, is this Song Jiuye? Why does it taste the same as my Wu wine? β
Qingji asked with a curious look.
"Hahahaha, Wu Hou, don't hide it, the wine we drink is Wu wine......"
Ziluan shook his head and said: "The wine of the countries is different, however, the widow is the only one who loves Wu wine!" β
Ziluan's words can be described as a pun.
However, it sounded quite pleasing to the ear......
"I don't know what Song Gong thinks, how does this Jin wine compare with Wu wine?"
Qingji asked with squinted eyes.
"This ......"
After Ziluan pondered for a while, he replied: "Wu wine is cold, cold in the mouth, and has a long aftertaste, which is the best in late winter and early spring. β
"Although Jin wine is more solemn than Wu wine, it is also lonely and cold, the wine is thin, there is no momentum, and the drink is godless, and it enters the tongue."
"The cold of Wu wine, but the heat in the cold stimulates people's blood. Wine is like its country, people are like its wine, if you talk about Wu Jin Er's wine, Jin wine can only be drunk, not drunk! β
"Good!"
"Color!"
Before Qingji could speak, Fan Li, the imperial historian who was sitting on the side, and Cheng Bo and other ministers and doctors in the imperial history, couldn't help but applaud.
Very proud!
After all, everyone could hear that Ziluan's words were complimenting Wu Guo.
After a pause, Ziluan looked curious again, and asked: "Unknown people look at it, Wu Hou is also a person who is good at drinking, and he must have drunk Song wine." β
"I don't know what the taste of Song wine looks like in Wu Hou's opinion?"
When Qing Ji heard this, he thought about it secretly, and then said slowly: "Does Song Gong want to hear the truth, or is it a lie?" β
"Think it's true."
"If this is the case, the widow thinks that the Song Kingdom is from the descendants of Yin Shang, and his character must be compared."
"This Song wine is light and sweet and sour, soft and godless, which is in great contrast with the character of the Song people, so don't drink it."
ββ¦β¦β
Ziluan was choked by Qingji's words, his face was a little dark, and he didn't know what to say.
Isn't this a shame for Qingji?
At this time, sitting next to Ziluan, a burly middle-aged man with a Chinese character face stood up, bowed to Qingji, and said, "My minister thinks that Wu Hou's words are wrong!" β
"Who's down there?"
"Our minister is the right master of the Song Kingdom!"
Huangye?
This right division of the Song State is probably equivalent to the right Sima of the Wu State, and he is in a high position.
I saw the emperor and said angrily: "In terms of the country, the Song people do not make a name for themselves, they advocate strength, and the beads must be more fake." β
"It can be said that the Song people have the legacy of Yin Shang. Proficient in the way of food and wine, the wine brewed, is mellow, and there is no wine in the world that can be compared! β
"Wu Hou despised the Song people and Song wine so much. I'm afraid that the argument is too biased! β
Hearing this, Qingji shook his head and said, "Don't worry, the widow has never despised the Song people and Song wine. β
"The so-called Song wine is light and mellow, but it is true. But the widow said before, wine is like its country, and people are like its wine. β
"The Song people must be compared, the Song people are not vain, and the Song people are still in the business legacy, if this is the case, then the Song people and the Song country should be the powerful country in this world!"
"Food and wine, if not to show the true colors of people. It's all weird and weird. β
"Isn't it strange to be aggressive by nature, but not to eat spicy food and to love desserts? What does the Imperial Doctor think? β
When Huang Ye heard this, he bowed to Qingji and said, "Marquis Wu, it's my minister's speech!" β
"It's okay!"
Qingji smiled slightly, waved his hand, and said to Ziluan, who was sitting opposite him and was already smiling: "Duke Song, you have such a minister who dares to speak up and win glory for the country, and the Song country is fine!" β
"Hahahaha!"
Ziluan laughed loudly and said, "Wu Hou, accept your auspicious words." However, the widow actually thinks that what Wu Hou Shicai said is in line with the national conditions of the Song Kingdom! β
"The Song Kingdom is still a legacy of business, and the Zhou room is governed by etiquette and filial piety, and it has been weak for a hundred years, or it may be able to die a good life."
"However, looking at 3,000 years of China, how can the talents of the Chinese people be equated with the prosperity and decline of the country?"
"The Song people must compare, not be vain, advocate strength, and are all Yinghua and intelligent, but it is not the same as the Song State will be able to dominate the world."
"The gathering of talents and the prosperity of the armed forces of the Wu State do not mean that the Wu State will eventually achieve great causes."
After a pause, Ziluan said again: "The widow remembers that in the past, when Jizi of Wu Guo visited Weiguo, he once said, 'Wei Duo is a gentleman, and his country is not in trouble'!" β
"There are only gentlemen, how can they be strong?"
Ziluan is obviously a pragmatic monarch.
He didn't agree with what Jiza had said back then.
However, as a traverser, Qingji knew that Ji Za was indeed a prophet and had a far-sighted vision......
Historically, in the late Warring States period, the major powers competed for hegemony, and the defense of the country became weaker and weaker, and in the end, only the small land of Puyang City remained.
Then, the state of Qin placed Dongjun, took Puyang and other places, Wei Yuanjun was forced to move to Yewang, and Wei existed in name only.
However, it was not until 209 BC that Wei Junjiao was deposed by Qin II as a concubine, and Wei Guo was completely destroyed......
You must know that only the vassals of the vassal states are called "kings".
Wei Guo degraded himself to the title of king before he was destroyed by Wei.
Qin Shi Huang even destroyed the six kingdoms, and it was only a matter of a small effort to completely eliminate the small patriotic country, but in the end, he always allowed the existence of the patriotic country and did not infringe on it.
The reason is none other than that Qin Shi Huang paid attention to the influence of public opinion and attached great importance to cultural construction.
The empire he wants to pass on to the world is not an empire ruled by an illiterate group, but a civilized country with an extremely prosperous culture.
The construction of Xianyang School Palace is to compete with the highly prestigious Qi State Jixia School Palace in the Warring States Period.
Moreover, in the early days, it should be said that Qin Shi Huang also gave those doctors great freedom of speech.
It's just that later, he couldn't tolerate the rude attacks of the diehards in the Six Kingdoms led by Chun Yuyue, and Qin Shi Huang finally issued a book burning order.
It is worth mentioning that book burning is not the same thing as cheating Confucianism.
The matter of pit Confucianism was mainly caused by a few warlocks, which made Qin Shi Huang unbearable.
Moreover, Wei Guo has been attached to Qin for a long time, which is equivalent to Qin's vassal state, and the relationship between the two countries has always been good.
LΓΌ Buwei and Shang Ying are also patriots, and they can be said to have made great contributions to the Qin State......
