This surprised Huo Jun. He had seen Chai Xinyi's Baihua Villa, although she lived alone, and the houses there were all over the place with exquisite designs and carved beams. Huo Jun imagined that this Chaijia Villa would be even more magnificent and splendid. But he didn't expect that the place where Chai Zongqing lived was a cave.

Huo Jun and his entourage came to the cave, which was simply a cave. It's like being in another world. First of all, the blue brick paving road, and the walls on both sides of the road are lit with pillar-thick lanterns. There are vents in the cave, and Huo Jun walks in it, not only does he not feel depressed, but he feels refreshed.

The water-sheltering rouge beast he rode had already been led to the stables by his servants. Huo Jun's injured leg was able to stand on the ground at this time, but he couldn't walk too hard, all with the strength of the other leg. Even so, he was still amazed at the miraculous power of Chai Xinyi's pill.

When everyone walked for a short time, they came to an incomparably spacious hall, and Huo Jun saw that this hall was a bit like the Juyi Hall of his vulture cottage. In the middle of the hall there was a huge pearwood table, large enough to seat thirty people.

The servants served the food and wine to the top. Chai Zongqing warmly beckoned everyone to sit down. Huo Jun was really not too hungry because he ate five bowls of knife-cut noodles. But at this time, he smelled the aroma of wine, closed his eyes, and suddenly opened them again, and said, "It turned out to be Du Kang, you actually have Du Kang here?"

Huo Jun came all the way from Hedong to Jiangnan, he was tired on the road and in danger everywhere, he could accept it, but the food was useless, which made him feel very uncomfortable. Today he actually ate Hedong's knife-cut noodles, which allowed him to reminisce for a few days, but there was no good wine, which made a chivalrous man very regretful, how could he leave the wine in the rivers and lakes? I didn't expect that he could still drink Du Kang here!

Huo Jun saw the dishes on the table again, and he was not very happy. None of the dishes on this table are Jiangnan characteristics, he stayed in Jiangnan for a few days, ate light and sweet dishes, and almost felt sick to his stomach. Huo Jun didn't have time to hurry Chai Zongqing, so he sat down and ate and drank.

Chai Zongqing said: "Everyone, it's just because the hometown of the lower is the river and the south. I won't forget it in the next moment. Therefore, the wine and food are all hometown characteristics. Please feel welcome. I also appreciate the homesickness below. ”

Except for Huo Jun and Ren Tangrui. A few words made everyone silent, Cang Jiugong knew that this Chai Zongqing's hatred of losing the country could not be alleviated no matter what. It's just that he doesn't want to fight now, if he really takes Princess Dali back to Dali, then he has nothing to rely on, and even deprives him of spiritual power. It's a bit too cruel to do that. However, if he is not sent by order, what can he do as the prince and the young protector?

Although Ren Tangrui didn't move his chopsticks, he thought differently from others, and he didn't sympathize with Chai Zongqing at all. It's just that he can't get off the chopsticks at all. He looked at it for a long time, shook his head, and said, "How can this be soup and water?

Chai Xinyi said with a smile: "Brother Ren, this dish is called Luo, Yangshui Table." This dish is a famous dish in the river and south. ”

Ren Tangrui didn't pay attention to Chai Xinyi when it was dark, and stared at the dishes when he sat down. At this time, when I heard Chai Xinyi's delicate voice, I suddenly looked up and saw a beautiful woman, looking at myself with a smile, and I was stunned. With a 'snap', the chopsticks in his hand fell to the table.

Seeing that Ren Tangrui didn't answer and looked straight at herself, Chai Xinyi's pretty face turned crimson, which added to her cuteness. Huo Jun said: "Yes, it's more authentic than what Lao Tzu ate in Kaifeng." ”

Xiao Xuan said: "There are twenty-four dishes for the Luoyang water banquet, that is, eight cold dishes, four table dishes, eight large pieces, and four sweeping dishes. According to legend, Yuan Tiangang watched the sky on Chinese New Year's Eve and knew that Wu Zetian would become emperor in the future, but the heavenly machine could not be revealed, so he designed this banquet to herald Wu Zetian's wine and meat situation in the next twenty-four years. The soup and water of each dish allude to Wu Zetian's natural water, dry and thin, which is a metaphor for Wu Zetian's twenty-four years of dryness. ”

Huo Jun didn't wait for others to drink, he had already drunk a jar of Du Kang with a jar. After listening to Xiao Xuan's words, his spirits were lifted and he said, "Hey, Lao Tzu just said, you know half of the things in the sky, and there is nothing in the earth that you don't know." You can tell Lao Tzu what is so particular about this Du Kang. ”

Xiao Xuan said: "I don't know how to taste wine. However, Cao Mengde has a short song line, which mentions Du Kang. Saying that, Xiao Xuan slowly groaned, and she said: When you sing about wine, what is life? Be generous and unforgettable. How to solve the worries, only Du Kang ......"

After Xiao Xuan's short song was finished, Chai Zongqing bowed his head even more and was silent, of course, Du Kang wine is also a characteristic of the river and the south. During the Three Kingdoms, Cao Cao was in the country of Hehe and Nan as prime ministers.

At that time, Li Dao and Guo Yan in Chang'an caught fire, and Dong Cheng, a relative, and a group of ministers escaped from Chang'an with Emperor Xian and returned to Luoyang. The palace in Luoyang has long been burned down by Dong Zhuo, and there are broken bricks and tiles, thorns and weeds everywhere.

When Emperor Xian of Han arrived in Luoyang, he had no palace and lived in a dilapidated house of an official. Some civil and military officials had no place to live, so they had to build a grass hut next to the broken wall to shelter from the wind and rain. The biggest difficulty is that there is no source of food. Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty sent people everywhere to ask officials from all over the country to deliver grain to the imperial court. But everyone was busy grabbing the land, and they didn't take the emperor seriously at all, and no one would send food.

The ministers of the court had no choice, and the officials below Shang Shulang had no choice but to dig wild vegetables by themselves. These usually pampered officials could not bear this suffering, and some of them ate a few meals of wild vegetables, and then collapsed on the edge of the broken wall and starved to death.

At this time, Cao Cao was stationed in Xuchang, and when he heard the news, he summoned his subordinates to discuss whether to welcome Emperor Han Xian. Cao Cao welcomed Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty to Xucheng, and from that time on, Xucheng became the temporary capital of the Eastern Han Dynasty, so it was called Xudu.

Cao Cao built a palace for Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty in Xudu, so that Emperor Xian officially ascended to the court. Cao Cao proclaimed himself a great general and began to give orders to the prefectures and counties in the name of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty. This is the famous coercion of the Son of Heaven to order the princes.

At that time, the dynasty attached great importance to the clan and origin. If Cao Cao wanted to be the emperor, the scholars at that time would never agree, and after he was a eunuch, his status was low, and the time was not ripe.

In comparison, Zhao Kuangyin's ambition is much greater. He didn't need to ignore the views of the scholars and the nobility of his background, and he was bent on unifying the Central Plains and dominating the world. He took advantage of the danger to seize Hou Zhou. Now, it is necessary to seize the world.

Chai Zongqing shook his head when he thought of this. He wants soldiers or no soldiers, how can he confront the Great Song Dynasty that Zhao Kuangyin just established with his own skills?
