Chapter 106: Ode to the Emperor
Dasong's first nightclub, for many people in this era, is still quite fun, but for Ma Hanshan, it's really not good, because the show is too monotonous, come and go playing the piano and singing songs, and making pairs with poems, it's really boring.
Ma Hanshan originally had the intention to give Shen Wuwan another dial to enrich the program, but unfortunately, until Ma Hanshan and they dispersed and went home, Shen Wuwan was nowhere to be seen.
So, why did Shen Wuwan go?
He was really found by Lin'an Mansion Yin, and besides, Mansion Yin was looking for him and it was actually related to Mahan Mountain.
In fact, Fu Yin is just a middleman, and the person looking for him is actually General Zuo Xiaowei and Baokang Army Chengxuan Envoy Bi Jiyu.
Coincidentally, Meng Lianghui also arranged for Bi Jiyu's grandson to drink with Ma Hanshan tonight, but he missed it because of Shi Yuzhi, and no one expected that his grandfather, General Bi Jiyu, a second-class military attache, Zuo Xiaowei, would actually look for Ma Hanshan.
Bi Jiyu looked for Mahanshan, it was actually because of a rumor, and I don't know who came out, saying that the tile pot village can destroy the Hugou camp with less victories, mainly because the owner of the tile pot village invented a powerful weapon: ignition grenade.
Until recently, by chance, he heard that there were weapons that would explode and burn in the tile pot village, and he immediately knew that the tile pot village could win Hu Bing, and it was this weapon that could explode and burn that won Hu Bing. u

Until recently, by chance, he heard that there were weapons that would explode and burn in the tile pot village, and he immediately knew that the tile pot village could win Hu Bing, and it was this weapon that could explode and burn that won Hu Bing.
As a veteran who cares about national affairs, when he heard that there was such a powerful weapon, he certainly wanted the army of the whole country to equip it. But how can you get your hands on such a new weapon? How to get the emperor to agree to the equipment, this is not an easy matter.
Bi Jiyu and Lin'an Mansion Yin Du Gao are close friends, after he stepped down from the ministry, Du Mansion Yin gave him advice on many things, and this matter is naturally no exception.
Du Gao is Shen Wuwan's relationship in Lin'an, so he naturally knew that Shen Wuwan's drunken immortal wine was produced in Wagang Village, so he found Shen Wuwan's .......
Shen Wuwan knows Ma Hanshan's temperament very well, and if he doesn't agree, others will never force him, so he doesn't dare to agree to Bi Jiyu, and he doesn't even dare to say that Ma Hanshan has come to peace. But he couldn't bear to refuse this old general, and finally had to promise Bi Jiyu that he would try his best to do this well.
……
The next day, Shen Wuwan went to visit Ma Hanshan in the Gem Mountain Courtyard early, but he pounced, and the doorkeeper told him that Young Master Ma had gone out early in the morning, but he didn't know where Young Master Ma had gone, and he didn't know when Young Master Ma would come back.
Shen Wuwan returned disappointed, but at this time, someone rushed into the palace to face the saint.
Lu Wenkuan, who was jointly sent by the Jinghu Metropolitan Commander and the Xiangfan Prefect, sent him to Beijing to report on the purchase of horses, and Gai Rencong sent him to Beijing to present fire and water lanterns to the emperor.
The day after Ma Hanshan left Xiangfan, Lu Wenkuan was ordered to enter Beijing, although he left Xiangfan only one day later than Ma Hanshan, but he rode a horse by land, so he arrived in Beijing on the same day as Ma Hanshan, who had been playing in Ezhou for two or three days.
Of course, it was impossible for Lu Wenkuan to go directly to see the emperor, according to the plan discussed by Gai Rencong and Fan Tianshun, no one would reveal the matter of buying a horse before meeting the emperor. Therefore, when he arrived in Beijing, he first went to the Ministry of Industry to meet the Ministry of Industry Shangshu, and then met the left servant of Shangshu Province, and finally, he sent a few fire water lamps and a small bottle of kerosene before he had the opportunity to enter the palace.
"Lu Wenkuan, why did you enter Beijing? Do you know that leaving your post without permission is to be beheaded? "Emperor Long Guangning met with Lu Wenkuan in the Vertical Arch Hall after the meeting.
"Your Majesty, the ministers did not leave their posts without permission, but the rulers and prefects sent their ministers to Beijing to report important military information." Lu Wenkuan stepped forward and saluted.
"Oh? Important military intelligence? Isn't there a special person to report important military information? Do you still need a general to defend the city? The Ministry of Industry said that you went to Beijing to present new lamps and lanterns, so what's the matter? Long Guangning began to hear that the dignified general who guarded the city left his post with a lamp, and he was very angry, but now that he heard Lu Wenkuan say that there was an important military situation in Beijing, he was a little less angry.
It's very troublesome to see the emperor Lao'er, it's not just to see him if he wants to, it's easier for the Beijing officials to see him, and it's really troublesome for local civil and military officials, especially military attachés, to see the emperor, otherwise Lu Wenkuan wouldn't have to hide his head and show his tail like this.
Military intelligence reporting is also very troublesome, you can't skip the level, you have to report to the level at the level, and it is taboo to report to the next level. The Ministry of War, the Privy Council, the Prime Minister or something, a piece of news may not be transferred to the emperor for a few days. Of course, if there is an emergency military situation, there is also a shortcut, but no one dares to take this "shortcut" easily, because it is easy to be accused of "abuse".
Well, this kind of thing is very taboo even in the modern society of Ma Hanshan's previous life, and it is a taboo in officialdom.
"Back to the emperor, Fan Tong and the prefect of Gai both thought that this matter should not be publicized for the time being, so they ordered the ministers to directly face the holy ......." Lu Wenkuan said very calmly.
Although, Da Song emphasized literature over military force, but Emperor Guangning was not completely boneless, and completely listened to the emperor of Wenchen, otherwise, he would not have listened to Han Qixuan's advice and agreed to the Northern Expedition before. Lu Wenkuan had figured out Emperor Guangning's temper, so he was not afraid at all when Emperor Guangning pretended to be serious.
"Doesn't it fit to promote?" Long Guangning glanced at the eunuch standing next to him, waved his hand, and the eunuch and palace maid in the hall quietly retreated.
"Say, now the palace is full of me and General Lu." Without others, Long Guangning's name for Lu Wenkuan has changed.
"Your Majesty, Daxi, we have found a way to buy military horses......." Lu Wenkuan took two steps forward, clasped his fists and whispered.
"What? Is there a way to buy military horses? When Long Guangning heard this, he excitedly left his seat and walked to Lu Wenkuan, took his hand and said, "General Lu, hurry up and talk to me in detail." ”
Fortunately, there is no royal platform in the seat of Long Guangning in this palace, if in the main hall, Long Guangning walks down the imperial platform at this speed, he will definitely fall and eat, it will really be big.
"Your Majesty, please take a seat, and wait for the ministers to come together." Long Guangning was so excited, but Lu Wenkuan was nervous, if such a "pull-pull-pull" spread, he would definitely be accused by those sour and rotten Confucians.
"Sit... Lu Aiqing also sat down to report. Long Guangning sat down on the brocade pier next to him for his subordinates, pointed to the one next to him, and asked Lu Wenkuan to sit down and report.
"Yes." Lu Wenkuan was not polite, and sat down directly and told Ma Hanshan about the fact that he could buy a military horse.
"Mahan Mountain again? General Lu, is the Mahan Mountain you are talking about from the Guogai Mountain tile pot village? Long Guangning asked in surprise.
"The emperor knows about him?" Lu Wenkuan was also surprised, he couldn't imagine that the emperor would also know his brother-in-law.
"So, it's him." Long Guangning grinned and said, "I not only know him, but also know a lot of things about him, such as the small victory that captured two hundred more Hu soldiers as coolies, and the drunken immortal wine he brewed, as well as the green rhyme fragrant tea produced in the tile pot village. All-round talent in civil and military affairs, he can actually make a different kind of good wine, and he can grow such a mellow tea, at a young age, he can actually arrange troops to capture a battalion of Hu soldiers....... ”
Long Guangning thought that the drunken immortal wine was brewed directly like Dasong's wine, and he didn't know that Luyun was actually wild tea, but it was fried by Ma Hanshan using the "modern frying" method.
"Your Majesty, more than that, he can also make lamps that are bright and not afraid of wind and rain, and the wind lamp is just whimsical, not afraid of wind and rain. Also, he was able to buy a much-needed military horse for me. Lu Wenkuan took the opportunity to advertise, and he was also stained with praise for Ma Hanshan, he was his own brother-in-law.
"Ah, and a lamp that is not afraid of wind and rain? Hurry up and ....... Long Guangning is very curious, what lamp is not afraid of wind and rain.
"Yes, the emperor waits." Lu Wenkuan quickly ran outside the hall and brought in a box.
There was nothing else in the box, just a few kerosene lamps and two dead wind lamps.
"Your Majesty, this is a dead wind lantern that is not afraid of wind and rain." Lu Wenkuan took out an angry wind lamp and said.
"Ah, how bright can such a small light be?" Long Guangning seemed a little disappointed.
Because the lamps in the palace are very large, those butter candles are more like children's arms, not to mention the big lanterns hanging on the eaves of the temple, even those hand-held lanterns, they are all very large, otherwise, the light is too weak.
And this air dead wind lamp, like a big bowl with a diameter and a height of only more than a foot, is such a small lamp really bright enough?
"Don't worry, the emperor waits for the ministers to light the lamp ......." Lu Wenkuan took out two kerosene lamps, one large and one small, from the box, and then skillfully lit them.
"Ah, it's really bright, ......." Long Guangning exclaimed in surprise, "Someone... Lower the curtains, cover all the windows, and put out all the lamps and candles. ”
In fact, the palace is not as described in the book, anything resplendent or something, if it is extinguished, most palaces are gloomy, because the lighting is not good. Therefore, all palaces are lit with candles day and night, but slightly less during the day.
The eunuch and palace maid covered the window, and extinguished the lights and candles in the hall, and finally, the brightness of kerosene was fully displayed in front of Long Guangning.
"It's really bright......." Long Guangning exclaimed.
"Your Majesty, you are optimistic." Lu Wenkuan did an experiment with him before Ma Hanshan, poured a cup of tea on the gas death wind lamp, and plucked it a few times with a fan, but the gas death wind lamp did nothing at all.
"Haha, it's really that the wind can't extinguish the water, okay, great." Long Guangning was overjoyed.
Lamp, for modern people who have never experienced the difficulty of walking an inch at night, no matter what kind of lamp there is not much feeling or surprise. But for the ancients who were forbidden when sunset was equal to prohibition, a lamp that was not afraid of wind and rain was definitely a shocking invention. What's more, this air dead wind lantern is not only not afraid of wind and rain, but also bright, so that the monarch of a country is so surprised that he wants to clap his hands.
