Quan Yutianxia GL

On Xiangguo's birthday, the emperor came in person to have fun with the people, and had a three-day feast.

On the first morning, before the emperor arrived, hundreds of officials in the court brought gifts to congratulate them one after another. Even Li Zhan and Gu Wenxiong prepared gifts and sent them to them.

The prince Li Shao brought his concubine to the mansion, and after they both paid homage to Xiangguo, Prince Shao stayed in the lobby of the front courtyard and chatted with Xiangguo with all the officials.

Yuan Xiangguo is good at wine, so the Yuan family has a wine shop. At the moment, in the front hall, every table is placed with Yuan's brewed Sangluo wine.

Yuan's Sangluo Distillery was not built in Chenjun, Yuan's ancestral home, but in Hedong County. Because it is brewed from the spring water of Sangluo Spring in Hedong, it has a unique taste and delicious drinking. favorite.

There was a saying: Don't drink mulberry wine, don't recognize separation.After drinking the mulberry wine, drunk sleep several times in the spring.

Everyone talked and laughed for a while, and Yuan Xiangguo brought the topic to wine: "This Sangluo wine is originally the best, with a mellow aroma and clear color. It's a pity that it can't be as clear as water like Lihuabai after all. ...This is the regret of this old man's life!"

Lihuabai is a new wine released last year by Heaven and Earth in Liaodong. Not only is its color as clear as water, but it also tastes mellow and fragrant when drinking. It is not only two or three times better than Sangluo wine.In Chang'an City, the cheapest pear flower white that has been mixed with water can only be bought for one or two taels. As for puree wine, it is hard to find a hundred gold.

"Why should Mr. Xiangguo worry about such a trivial matter?" Si Zhi of Xiangguo's mansion persuaded him, "Why don't you send the officials to Liaodong to buy the wine and present it to you?"

"That's all!" Yuan Xiangguo gave up and said, "How can I compete with the people for the benefits of the dignified Xiangguo?"

"Master Xiangguo is for the country and the people, like the brilliance of a bright moon, shining through the ages!" Another person said: "However, people in the world are ignorant, and there are even merchants in Liaodong who disregard Xiangguo's benevolence, justice and love for the people. ! Really hateful!"

Just as he was talking, he suddenly heard a long laugh from outside the hall, and then said: "What's the matter? Who is so hateful that he made Xiangguo worry about it on his birthday?"

Hearing this, all the officials in the hall immediately bowed and said: "I will see you, Your Majesty!"

"Get up!" Dijun walked in with something in his arms. After sitting down at the head of the hall, he continued to laugh and said, "Tell me, who provoked Xiangguo? Let me vent my anger on Xiangguo's behalf!"

All the generals and officers looked at each other, but no one responded with their heads down, so the emperor could only call his name and said, "Li Shao, tell me, what's going on?"

"Returning to the words of the father, the ministers and all the officials were discussing the matter of merchants in Liaodong." Li Shaobai said: "Last year's harvest was insufficient, and there was a war that consumed countless grains. Many people were hungry, but Liaodong Merchants, however, disregarded their lives, arbitrarily hoarding grain and brewing wine, and plundering people’s wealth... My sons and ministers are angry when they hear this, so they call him hateful!"

"I wish it would be so." The emperor nodded, his eyes swept over the people present, and finally fell on Li Shao, and said: "Such merchants are really hateful! I heard that they can sell tens of thousands of wine The sky-high price... I don't know what this sky-high price wine tastes like, I am also very curious!"

After finishing speaking, regardless of Li Shao's expression, the emperor smiled again: "Xiangguo is my arm, and to celebrate Aiqing's birthday, I also spent a lot of thought to get this set of famous wine. It’s better to dislike it!”

After speaking, the emperor handed the ebony wooden box he carried to Eunuch An, and asked him to pass it in front of Xiangguo.

"Your Majesty's royal gift must be the unparalleled wine in the world. How dare I despise it before I can rejoice?"

After Yuan Xiangguo finished speaking, after thanking him, he took the wooden box containing the wine from Eunuch An, and after a closer look, his face froze.

It's not 'Unparalleled Under Heaven', nor 'Satisfying One's Heart', but 'Red Sleeves Add Fragrance'... The dignified Xiangguo's birthday, given by the dignified emperor, turned out to be the third-class wine-Red Sleeves Add Fragrance?

Dijun, what does this mean?

All the officials hadn't looked up at the emperor, and they didn't know what the emperor was bringing in. Seeing the black sandalwood box in Xiangguo's hand, they couldn't help but change their expressions.

Li Shao couldn't help but said: "Father..."

"What's the matter with the emperor?"

Li Shao was slightly taken aback, he remembered that since he was abolished as the crown prince, the emperor had never called him the emperor in such a pleasant manner.

"My son... my son..."

"Forget it, I know." The emperor got up and said, "With me here, you won't be able to eat and drink to your heart's content."

After finishing speaking, the emperor put on a fight and went back to the palace, leaving all the generals and officials looking at each other in blank dismay.

After nightfall, when all the officials left, Li Shao found Xiangguo with a jade box in his arms, and said shamelessly, "My lord father-in-law, my father has lived in the palace for a long time, and I can't tell the quality of these new wines. My son-in-law will help him..."

"Your Highness Shao, don't do that." Yuan Xiangguo laughed and said, "The name of red sleeves adding fragrance is much more elegant than Your Highness's 'Fengshengshuiqi'. The emperor sent this wine, which shows that the old man is not old yet, and he can drink wine." Serve the country and relieve the emperor's worries!"

Li Shao repeatedly nodded in agreement, and talked with Yuan Xiangguo for a few more words before leaving the wine and leaving.

When Li Shao left, Yuan Xiangguo called his five sons, and first asked the eldest son Yuan Ren: "The emperor is coming, why didn't you inform the father?"

"Returning to my father, the emperor made me kneel when he got off the sedan chair, and ordered to silence the sound. He said he wanted to give you a surprise..."

"Surprise?" Yuan Xiangguo sneered after hearing the words: "Yes! Red sleeves add fragrance! What a big surprise!"

Yuan Ren was about the same age as Li Shao, but his thoughts were much deeper than Li Shao's: "Father... the emperor is trying to persuade you to resign?"

"That's exactly what he meant!" Yuan Xiangguo said: "Now that he has found a new chess piece, he is anxious to get rid of the old man and reorganize the court."

"How unreasonable!" Yuan Yi, the second son, said angrily, "Before sending him to the throne, you can agree to share the world with me, Yuan!"

"Share the world with the Yuan family?" Yuan Ren sneered, "Second brother, don't forget that the Wang family is the descendant of today!"

Unlike the Huo family, which had a family of three ministers, power over several emperors, and controlled the dynasty, the Langya Wang family is extremely low-key. She also has a certain right to speak in the court, so she has won the trust of the imperial family of this dynasty, and often takes Wang's daughter as the queen.

After Yuan Ren and Yuan Yi finished speaking, they turned their heads to look at Yuan Xiangguo and said, "Father, the current one is not a kind person. With Huo Yan and his family as examples, I, the Yuan family, must make preparations early."

Yuan Yidao: "The Huo family has been passed down for hundreds of years. There are tens of thousands of fertile fields in the family, and the money and food are piled up like a mountain. After the various clans divided up, the huge wealth that was finally handed over to the national treasury..."

Yuan Yi didn't finish his words, but everyone present knew very well that if the Huo family hadn't been wiped out back then, how could the imperial court have money to conquer the East?Yan Bufan's Eastern Expedition lasted for almost three years, and he spent countless money. How could it be possible to support the "great rule of the world" in a few years?

You must know that the reason why Emperor Wu of the previous dynasty dared to "be aggressive" was because there were two generations of Emperor Wen and Jing in front of him.And in this dynasty, apart from Tai and Zu Li Huan, has there ever been a hero like Wen Jing?It's Yihuo who is exhausted.

"Forget it, since my Yuan family has also embarked on the Huo family's old road, I can only continue on." Yuan Xiangguo said: "The emperor sent wine today, and the red sleeves add fragrance...It is nothing more than to remind us that the female sheriff of Liaodong It's his chess piece."

"My son heard that the female sheriff of Liaodong is only [-] years old and not yet married." Yuan Ren said: "Could it be that the emperor wants to betroth her to a certain prince?"

"Very likely." Yuan Li, the third son who has been silent all this time, said, "The sheriff of Liaodong County is a daughter. Even if the situation is big in the future, it will be easy to deal with it. There is even no need to deal with it. She can be locked in the backyard with a marriage certificate."

"Can we just let the emperor play chess?" Yuan Yi couldn't help but said: "Gu Wenxiong has returned to Chang'an, if the child guesses correctly, the emperor will definitely use him to exchange Wei Chuyan back. Outside there is Wei Chuyan who controls Yulin, and inside there is King Song palm tiger..."

"It's not that there is no way to break the situation." Yuan Ren thought about it: "Before the New Year's Day, when I was drinking with the King of Jiaodong, I met a counselor in his house. This person's surname is Duan Mingjie. Because the Liaodong County Guard's family was destroyed. According to this plan, the Liaodong County Guard is not to be feared, but the daughter of the Bai family behind her is the one to be feared!"

"The daughter of the Bai family?"

"It is heard that the Bai family in Donglai is a descendant of Bai Gui, the ancestor of the Shang Dynasty. The Bai family has a daughter named Su, who left home at the age of ten and returned at seventeen. After less than four years in charge of the Bai family, she became famous in Donglai." Yuan Rendao : "However, this woman's method of gathering wealth is amazing, and her seeking of talents is also extraordinary. There is even a rumor that Dao Na, the governor of Liaodong County, was born as a maid of the Bai family..."

Yuan Xiangguo heard the words and said: "So, the governor of Liaodong County is actually just a puppet pushed by Bai Su?"

"Extremely possible!" Yuan Yi said: "I heard from those little eunuchs who went to Liaodong with Mr. An that the Liaodong county guard is no different from ordinary craftsmen. He repairs houses, digs canals and paves roads. He is good at everything and does everything by himself... ...Moreover, the most trusted official of the female county guard, the surname Huo, is not helping her manage the county affairs, but talking about marriage matters for people every day!"

"...The real person in charge of this Liaodong County is actually this Bai family daughter?" Yuan Xiangguo mused, "But such a simple trick of deception can deceive others, how can it deceive the emperor?"

Yuan Xiangguo has been fighting with Jinshang for a whole life, so he is naturally well aware of his harsh nature.

"Father, why did Bai Su deceive the emperor?" Yuan Ren said: "Last year's Eastern Expedition, if Bai Su hadn't brought Donglai merchants to send money to the court, how could other merchants follow suit?"

"But at that time, the emperor didn't give Bai Su any great reward except for a few words of praise." Yuan Yi said, "Instead, he mentioned the captain of the accompanying army to the position of General Zhaoyi."

"That is to say, is the emperor deliberately reusing that female envoy?" Yuan Xiangguo thought, "And this envoy of Chu was born as a maid, but now she has suddenly gained a high position... Between the two, I am afraid that sooner or later there will be a birth." Let's take a break."

Under the temptation of power and profit, not to mention the relationship between master and servant, even the relationship between husband and wife, father and son, is as thin as a window screen and can be broken by the wind.

As for how broken it is, it depends on the strength of the wind.
