Chapter 300: Sending the King of Wives
"First of all, I can make some bold assumptions about what we already have. β
"Then wait for the opportunity to verify it with your own eyes, and it should be easy to find the shallowest layer compared to the two. After thinking about it for a while, Feng Lin came up with the direction.
"As far as the original story of the tanuki changing the prince is concerned, the whole incident is full of loopholes. But there are a few details in it that need attention. First of all, Zhao Heng didn't have no sons, but most of them died early. Standing at the height of history, the later Zhao ZhenΒ·Β·Β· That is, his only son, who was made the crown prince, there is nothing wrong with it. But at that time, whether it was Concubine Liu or Concubine Li, they were not queens, so there was no so-called distinction between concubines and concubines. At this time, why was Zhao Heng so anxious, making such a promise when the child was still in his mother's womb and even men and women were not clear?"
"That's the first, the first irrationality. β
"Of course, stories are just stories, and I need to see with my own eyes and ears how things are going to turn out. β
Now that Zhao Heng has ascended the throne not long ago, there is still some time before the incident of the tanuki changing the prince happens.
However, one of the protagonists of the tanuki changing the prince later, the mastermind behind the scenes, Concubine Liu, has been summoned to the palace.
Speaking of which, the origin of this Concubine Liu is also quite legendary.
Her real name is Liu E, and she is the wife of a silversmith.
Because the silversmith heard that Zhao Heng, who was still the king of Xiang at the time, he wanted to find a woman from Shu as a concubine, so he sold his wife into the palace and dedicated it to Zhao Heng.
And Zhao Heng did not dislike it, but accepted it happily because of Liu Esheng's beauty and intelligence.
It can be said that the appetite is also very good.
What's even more surprising is that Zhao Guangyi was furious when he learned about this and ordered Zhao Heng to expel Liu E from Xiangwang's mansion.
His father's fate was difficult to disobey, but Zhao Heng was really reluctant to Liu E, so he secretly fostered Liu E in the house of his staff member Zhang Min.
Zhang Min arranged for his family to take care of Liu E, and in order to avoid suspicion, he slept in Xiangwang's Mansion every day, so as not to attract unnecessary suspicion or even killing.
What does this amount to?
It is equivalent to Liu E, a woman, who married two men successively before becoming Zhao Heng's concubine, both in substance and in name.
This kind of thing, let alone put it in the ancient times of ideological feudalism.
Even in modern times, there are not many men who can accept their own women who have married twice before and after.
So, based on the above points...
Feng Linwan decided to get close to Liu Mei first... Of course, now his name is Gong Mei.
That Liu E's ex-husband.
This person relied on sending his wife, and in the end, the official worshiped the dragon and the four compartments of the guard, and the assassin of Jiangzhou, and took charge of part of the military power in Beijing, which can be described as a high power. can be called a generation of wife kings, compared with the green hat king in the Tang Dynasty, although the popularity is a little lower, but the legend is not inferior at all.
Inexplicably, Feng Linwan suddenly remembered Wang Sanduo, Song Jiji and Ma Rong...
This relationship seems to be very similar!
Now Liu E has not become the queen, let alone listened to the government.
Liu Mei naturally did not have the high power she had later.
Even so, his current position is very special, belonging to the third class of service.
In turn, it is the right pan hall straight, the left pan hall straight, the right servant, the left waiter, the west head worship official, the east head worship official, the inner hall chongban...... Temperance makes.
In short, it is equivalent to the internal guards in the Qing Palace, belonging to the Son of Heaven Guard, although the position is not high, but close to the Son of Heaven, easy to make meritorious contributions, come out, if deeply trusted, can even become a party of the Temperance Envoy, grasp the military and political power.
To be reasonable, his relationship with Liu E is so special.
How big of a heart does Zhao Heng have, and he still puts this guy so close? There are more records, when Liu Mei died, Song Zhenzong... That is, Zhao Heng also ordered the abolition of the dynasty for three days, and posthumously presented Liu Mei as a lieutenant and a Zhaode military festival, which can be described as extremely pampered.
And Liu E has a lot of things, and most of them still need this guy's help to deal with them.
Feng Lin wanted to explore it first.
A little bit of effort.
Feng Lin found out that Gong Mei often went in and out of a foot shop called 'Shuxiang Pavilion' to drink.
In the Song Dynasty, general restaurants were divided into main shops, foot shops, tea shops, etc., and some were subdivided because of their specific businesses.
Among them, only the main store is qualified to make wine.
Others, such as foot shops, can only choose to buy alcohol from the main store.
So Gong Mei went to Shuxiang Pavilion to drink, obviously not for a little drink.
And this restaurant is far away from its residence.
In this way, it should not be convenient.
With a big bald head, Feng Lin walked into the Shuxiang Pavilion without any taboos.
Although the name of this restaurant is quite acceptable, it is essentially just a small shop, there are not many people in the store, and listening to the accent, they should all be from Shudi.
Maybe it's also because the side dishes in the restaurant are all Bashu flavors?
"This master, dare to ask if it's a fate or a meal?" said to Feng Linwan in a Kaifeng dialect with a Bashu accent.
Feng Linwan strode in, found a place to sit down, and was sitting opposite Gong Mei, who was drinking and eating alone.
"Sprinkle the house to drink!
"A bowl should be Puzhong wine. "Puzhong refers to Puzhou in the territory of Jindi. Puzhou wine was famous all over the world in the Northern Zhou Dynasty and endured for a long time in the Sui and Tang dynasties. In the Song Dynasty, the palace Puzhong wine was brewed by this method. Of course, there is no palace Puzhong wine in the small foot shop, but there should be no shortage of some coarse brews made according to this method. It's just that I came to Shuxiang Pavilion and didn't drink Shudi wine, which is a bit out of place. Of course... It's understandable.
Feng Linwan tidied up his clothes, the white monk's clothes were fluttering, and his face was full of Zen, without any insolence, but he continued: "A bowl, Su Hexiang..." β
As soon as these words came out, the little two had already gone to ask the shopkeeper!
See... It seems that a wicked guest has come to knock on the door.
Suhexiang wine, that is the real palace wine, each bucket of wine with Suhexiang pills one or two boiled together, can adjust the five organs, dispel all diseases in the abdomen. Although it is not possible to talk about the fact that there is no market at all, but there are indeed no public sellers. And even if there is an occasional outflow, it is quietly bought by high-ranking officials and nobles, and it will definitely not end up in an inconspicuous foot shop.
Feng Linwan's gaze swept over all the drinkers without any purpose.
Seeing that everyone's eyes were focused on themselves, he continued: "The third bowl, Meishou wine." β
As mentioned earlier, there are many restaurants in Beijing, and only the main hall is qualified to buy koji from the government.
And this Meishou wine is unique to the famous Fengle Building in the main store.
And this Shuxiang Pavilion is attached to Hele Building, and it happens to sing against that Fengle Building.
Therefore, Shuxiang Pavilion is not Meishou wine... Even if you send someone to buy it temporarily, I'm afraid that you won't be able to buy it back.
The shopkeeper quickly walked out, and when he saw Feng Linwan, he was stunned, but he seemed to recognize him.
hurriedly stepped forward in two steps, and then said to Feng Lin: "It turns out that I don't understand the master's Fa to come, and I will miss the distance!"
After saying that, he slapped the little two behind him on the shoulder.
"Go! Why are you so reckless! Why don't you quickly take a pot of the jar of Yuli wine that I have stored for ten years! I don't understand the master of hospitality!" The so-called harmony makes money, even if Feng Lin Wan behaves very much like he came to smash the field. But the shopkeeper diverted the topic very smoothly and wanted to cover up the contradictions.
Reach out and don't hit the smiling person, be reasonable, at this time... Feng Lin Wan shouldn't be messing around.
However, Feng Linwan was obviously not ready to be reasonable.
Because of his goal, it is not to embarrass this small restaurant at all.
