On the two sides of the story, Zuo Feng returned to the palace, but on the way he secretly hid gold worth a thousand guan, and then brought wine to find his superior, that is, the regular attendant Bi Lan.

"Are you back?" Bi Lan had just rested, and looked at Zuo Feng with a bit of tiredness, not knowing if it was an act.

"The maidservant has completed the inspection, and now she is coming back to report." Facing Bi Lan, Zuo Feng did not dare to neglect him in the slightest.In the palace, there is a small yellow gate, it can't be said when it will disappear.

The point is, no one will care until it disappears for a long, long time.In this palace, the servants are all ants.

"Tell Your Majesty about this, you shouldn't come to me." Bi Lan held it, her tone remained unchanged, but those who were familiar with him would find that he was actually a little dissatisfied.

"My servant met a Han clan relative in Lu Zhi's camp..." Zuo Feng knew that he had to get into the subject quickly, otherwise he would be in bad luck. "He entrusted this servant to send some souvenirs to honor His Majesty."

"Jizhou, but how many counties are the kings?" Hearing this, Bi Lan was a little interested.

"It's the empress of the former Han Zhongshan King Jing... However, the special products he gave are not ordinary!" Zuo Feng introduced Liu Tao's identity with some embarrassment, and then immediately said that the things were valuable.

And immediately took out the wine and handed it over.

"Ah, Jiuxian Niang!" Bi Lan seemed to recognize it, and took it directly, "It's actually been in the cellar for nearly ten months, it's a good thing!"

"Chang Shi knows this wine?" Zuo Feng was a little surprised, but at the same time breathed a sigh of relief, as long as Bi Lan knows the value of this wine.

"A month ago, a wealthy businessman sent two bottles to Luoyang, and one bottle was dedicated to His Majesty. At that time, His Majesty's evaluation of this wine was not generally high, but he thought it was a bit angry and less elegant." Bi Lan played with this bottle.

"According to what Liu Tao said, this wine was brewed by his sworn brother, Zhang Fei in Zhuo County. Although a lot of wine has been brewed, it has not been stored for a long time. This batch is the longest one." Zuo Feng quickly explained. , "Liu Tao said that this batch is specially prepared to honor His Majesty."

"...It's really intentional... How many are you talking about in this batch?" Bi Lan is more concerned about the quantity issue.

"There are two hundred bottles in total. For Liu Taoyan, one hundred bottles are for honoring His Majesty. The other one hundred bottles are for honoring your servants." Zuo Feng said hastily. With the one thousand guan, he has already earned enough. Jiuxian Niang, I really dare not be greedy anymore.

Especially when he saw that Bi Lan seemed to be very concerned about the wine, he naturally didn't dare to be greedy.

"Oh, he really said that?" Bi Lan was still deciding, the main thing was to swindle Zuo Feng, he didn't believe that this guy didn't want any benefits at all, maybe there was more to drink.

"This..." Zuo Feng knew that Bi Lan was cheating, but he was also worried that the other party was serious. When he was in doubt, he simply confessed, "There are indeed only these two hundred bottles of wine, and he thinks it is troublesome for me to bring the wine. I'm sorry, but I gave some hard-earned money."

"Since it's your hard-earned money, then keep it!" Bi Lan was less interested in money and more interested in wine.Besides, Zuo Feng was sensible enough to present two hundred bottles of wine.

"Thank you Changshi!" Zuo Feng was grateful, this thousand pens, after all, can be kept.

"You... why are you thanking me?" Bi Lan shook her head, then opened a bottle of wine and poured herself a glass.Of course he knew the value of this wine. In Luoyang, it was in March, no, it was already in May, and it had already been called fifty guan.

There are many nobles in Luoyang, and the nobles have a lot of money. Sometimes the fight is for face, even if the wine is not worth the money.

"It's a pity that there is too much wine..." After carefully feeling the taste of the wine, Bi Lan sighed. If the quantity is large, it is not so valuable. Fifty guan, it should be almost the limit.

It is worth affirming that His Majesty should be very happy. This taste is much better than that in May.

"The other party only said it was filial piety?" Bi Lan quickly thought of a question, even if the other party made the wine, it is impossible to give away so many bars for nothing?If you are polite to others, you must ask for something!

"I really didn't say anything about this, I just said that as a clan member, it is right to serve the court." Zuo Feng said hastily.

"How many times has he mentioned his identity as a Han family clan?" Bi Lan quickly realized a problem.

"It looks like I've said it several times." Zuo Feng also quickly realized the problem.

"Haha, so that's how it is... This kid is a wonderful person, tell me about Liu Tao's situation, and come with me to see His Majesty later!" Bi Lan laughed, then looked at Zuo Feng and ordered.

In the evening, Bi Lan took Zuo Feng to meet Han Emperor Liu Hong.Zuo Feng first reported the inspection results, and he had to say a few words for Lu Zhi.He didn't dare to say too much, so he quickly talked about Liu Tao's affairs.

Bi Lan also took advantage of the opportunity to offer wine, and the latter took it over to look at it, mainly to see the date.The brewing date is engraved in the specially made jug. This kind of Jiuxian Niang can be said to be an innovation, and it is the first time that the concept of "cellar storage" has been proposed.

It is said that now, some wineries have also begun to cellar their own brewed wine.However, except for Dukang and a few high-alcohol wines, most of them are directly hidden into vinegar... No, vinegar is not even considered, it is rotten.

"Your Majesty, I'm here to test the poison..." Zhang Rang came forward, and it was said that Zhao Zhong next to him had a higher status, but he was also more afraid of death.

"Well..." Liu Hong nodded. Bi Lan's ability to bring it over meant that the wine was fine, but Zhang Rang wanted to be loyal, so he didn't mind letting him taste it first.

"Then Liu Tao, is the clan of the Han family?" The poison test would take at least [-] quarters of an hour, so Liu Hong changed the subject.

"It is said that it is after King Jing of Zhongshan..." Zuo Feng did not dare to neglect, and quickly explained.

"Let Zongzheng check it out." Liu Hong immediately ordered Zhao Zhong.

Zhao Zhong took the order, and immediately sent someone to inform Zongzheng to inquire about Liu Tao in Zhuo County.During this period, Liu Hong couldn't help but listen to Liu Tao's achievements in fighting from Zhuo County all the way to Guangzong.

When Zongzheng reported that there was such a person in the family tree, Liu Hong had already started drinking, and said with emotion: "Among the clan, there are also talented people."

Chapter 151 things have been done

"...Liu Yuanqi has not yet become an official. He has a son, Liu Tao, whose name is Deran." Zong Zheng read the genealogy, and Liu Hong had nothing to do, and calculated his seniority a little bit.

Counting to Liu Tao's generation, he smiled and said: "Then, after all, he is still my brother... let father, send someone to Zhuo County, I want to know Liu Tao's character."

Although Zuo Feng briefly introduced Liu Tao's achievements, he didn't investigate carefully after all. No one can brag about it.At the same time, the possibility that Zuo Feng reaped the benefits of others and deliberately exaggerated is not ruled out.

"Your Majesty has killed your servant." Zhang Rang looked terrified when he heard Liu Hong call himself 'Rang's father'.

In the second year of Guanghe, Wei Yangqiu, the captain of Sili, impeached Wang Fu while he was away from the palace, and then arrested and killed him.In the fourth year of Guanghe, Cao Jie also died of illness as a bargaining chip for compromise.The eunuchs at that time really felt precarious.

Until the fifth year of Guanghe, Liu Hong was completely disappointed with the aristocratic family and the gentry, and had to support them.To be on the safe side, I had to declare to the outside world that "Zhang Rang is my father and Zhao Zhong is my mother".

Although he and Zhao Zhong were protected to the greatest extent, they were also accused of being unfilial by the gentry, especially when Queen Mother Dong was still alive.

In the follow-up, although they would say that in front of others from time to time, Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong couldn't take it seriously.

After replying that sentence, Zhang Rang went down obediently and sent people to Zhuo County to investigate Liu Tao's situation.Hurry up, especially in this situation, basically you will arrive in Zhuo County within two or three days, and you will have accurate news within ten days.

"Wine is good wine..." Liu Hong poured himself a glass of wine and tasted it carefully. The flavor was indeed better.

Rare things are more expensive is a word in the Western Jin Dynasty, but Liu Hong is very clear about this concept. After all, he went through business with his mother in order to subsidize his family when he was young.Although the wine is better, but the quantity is large, it is not worth so much.

A bottle of [-] guan should be the limit, after all, there is about [-] guan overflow.Just like what Zuo Feng said, the rare flavor of this wine is only about twenty guan.

But drinking it by himself is not a big problem, the wine tastes better, and he likes it too.Especially easy to get drunk, he prefers it, it's best to be drunk, don't worry about anything, don't have a headache.

"Liu Tao said it was brewed by his brother-in-law's family, right?" Liu Hong quickly thought of what Zuo Feng said.

"Yes, I heard that Zhang Fei, Liu Tao's brother-in-law, is the largest wine and meat merchant in Zhuo County." Zuo Feng quickly replied.

"The Zhang family of Zhuojun, yes, they used to be a big wine and meat merchant..." Liu Hong recalled for a while, and seemed to remember that there was such a big merchant.He is from Hejian, Jizhou, and Zhuojun is Linjun. How can he not know the Zhang family of Zhuojun?

After all, when I was a child, I seem to have had wine there, I really miss it.

"That Zhang Fei seems to be under Liu Tao's command, commanding the cavalry." Zuo Feng saw Liu Hong's sentimental expression, so he took advantage of the opportunity to talk about Zhang Fei's situation, "Liu Taoyan, his brother-in-law, has a wrong husband. courage."

"It's probably an exaggeration, but it should be quite courageous." Zhao Zhong replied flatly, and secretly said: How much money did Zuo Feng charge Liu Tao for speaking so many good things about him.

Even Bi Lan on the side looked thoughtful, but his face didn't turn ugly when he thought of the wine.
