After Zhao Mingcheng made up his mind to follow Chao Gai and his son to conquer the country, he put down his previous airs and made friends with Wu Yong, Xiao Rang, Jiang Jing and others in Liangshan.
He also learned from Jiang Jing that many of Liangshan's ideas came from Chao Yong, and many generals in Liangshan were also recruited by Chao Yong. Chao Yong's position in Liangshan can be said to be very stable, and his potential power is even greater than that of Chao Gai. Some.
Therefore, Zhao Mingcheng wanted to get closer to Chao Yong. Hearing this, he hurriedly said: "It's almost noon. I have asked someone to prepare lunch. It won't be too late for the Major General to have some food and wine before leaving."
Li Qingzhao also said boldly: "I heard that heroes like to drink from large bowls and eat large pieces of meat. Qingzhao also likes to eat wine. If the Major General's military affairs are not urgent, I will allow Qingzhao to serve the Major General with a few bowls to express his gratitude."
Chao Yong had nothing to do, so when he saw that the two of them were kindly asking to stay, he stayed too.
¡¡
Li Qingzhao held a bowl of wine and said proudly: "Here, let's do it."
Chao Yong looked at Zhao Mingcheng, who was already drunk, and then at Li Qingzhao, who was still not drunk. Only then did he know the extent of Li Qingzhao's alcoholism mentioned in the history books.
Li Qingzhao also often mentions her drinking in her poems. The aforementioned "Drunken Flower Yin", two poems "Like a Dream", "Reporting Heartfelt Feelings" and "Huanxisha" describe her drinking incisively and vividly.
"I often remember that it was sunset at the creek pavilion, and I was so drunk that I didn't know the way back. I returned to the boat late after my excitement, and strayed into the depths of the lotus flowers. I fought for the crossing, and I was startled by a pool of gulls and herons."
"Last night it rained and the wind blew violently. I couldn't get rid of the remaining wine after a deep sleep. I tried to ask the person behind the curtain, but the crabapple was still the same. Do you know, do you know? It should be green, fat, red and thin!"
"When night comes, I am too drunk to remove my make-up, and the calyx of the plum tree is inserted into the broken branches. When I wake up, my spring sleep is broken, and my dreams are broken. The people are quiet, the moon is still there, and the green curtains are hanging down. The remaining pistils are moved more, the remaining fragrance is more picked up, and more time is gained."
"The cup is filled with deep amber, and the intoxication melts before it becomes intoxicating, and the wind blows in the evening. The incense of Rui Nao kills the soul and breaks the dream, ward off the cold gold bun and the pines, and the sky is red with candles when I wake up."
There are also many poems that mention the word wine. If Li Bai is the wine god in poetry, then Li Qingzhao is the wine god in poetry.
After dozens of bowls of wine, Li Qingzhao suddenly started crying.
Zhao Mingcheng drank a few bowls and became too drunk. He refused to accompany the two of them to drink. Seeing Li Qingzhao suddenly burst into tears, he hurriedly clasped his fists and said to Chao Yong, "Madam is drunk. I'm sorry for my disrespect. I hope the general will forgive me."
Chao Yong said hurriedly: "It doesn't matter, since Madam is drunk, let someone help her down to rest."
Li Qingzhao suddenly raised his head and said, "I'm not drunk, I just thought of some unpleasant things."
Hearing this, Chao Yong hurriedly said: "Madam, if there is something difficult for you to do, please tell me if it's convenient. Maybe I can relieve your worries."
Li Qingzhao glanced at Chao Yong, shook his head in frustration and said: "It's just some family matters, but it made the general laugh. Come on, I'll offer another bowl to the general. Li Taibai said it well, bells, drums, food and jade are not expensive, but I hope I won't be drunk forever. Wake up."
When Zhao Mingcheng heard that Li Qingzhao said it was a family matter, he understood something in his heart. He also knew that Li Qingzhao was dissatisfied with his change of heart, but which man didn't have three wives and four concubines? Compared to Su Shi and other romantic talents, he had fewer concubines. .
Li Qingzhao¡¯s poems often contained grudges, but Zhao Mingcheng didn¡¯t expect that she would show up in front of Chao Yong. His face turned livid at that moment, but Chao Yong was prevented from getting angry, and he said to Li Qingzhao in a deep voice: "Madam is drunk. She has been working hard all the way today. She is tired after all, so she should go back and rest first."
Li Qingzhao glanced at Zhao Mingcheng and realized that he seemed to have lost his composure. He drank all the wine in the bowl and said to Chao Yong: "General, use it with caution. Qingzhao will retire first."
Chao Yong also knew the source of Li Qingzhao's unhappiness, but this was indeed their family matter, and this was the case in this era. Chao Yong didn't think he could go against all the men in the world, so he was helpless in this matter. What's more, he now has three women, so it's hard to persuade Zhao Mingcheng.
Chao Yong stood up and said, "If Madam has any new works in the future, you can give me a copy to read."
Li Qingzhao felt a little more happy when he saw that Chao Yong liked her poems so much. He smiled and said: "General, if you like poems, you can come to the government often to communicate, and we can discuss and learn from each other."
Chao Yong heard this and said with a smile: "As long as I am not busy with military affairs, I will definitely come to visit you two."
Chao Yong also saw that Zhao Mingcheng wanted to get closer to him, so he deliberately said this, hoping that Zhao Mingcheng would treat Li Qingzhao better for his own sake.
¡°Previously, he was very enthusiastic about Li Qingzhao and wanted to see this most talented woman in history. But after some exchanges, Chao Yong discovered that the two of them had nothing in common.
He likes poetry and remembers some poems, but that is just out of love, not literary appreciation and poetry creation.He knows almost nothing and is not on the same level as a scholar like Li Qingzhao.
When it came to literature, Chao Yong couldn't exchange a few words with Li Qingzhao even if he scratched his head. It was too laborious.
Chao Yong was already afraid of talking to Li Qingzhao, so he decided to ask people to ask for some of Li Qingzhao¡¯s new words from time to time in the future.
Zhao Mingcheng saw that Li Qingzhao had gone out, and said again: "I have disturbed the young general's interest. I will treat the young general to a drink when he is dismissed."
Chao Yong smiled and said: "It doesn't matter. By the way, how are you preparing to become king?"
There were only a few literati in Liangshan, and none of them understood the etiquette system of the court. Therefore, Chao Gai handed over the matter of becoming king to Zhao Mingcheng.
Hearing this, Zhao Mingcheng hurriedly said: "Xiaguan checked many books and classics, participated in ancient and modern systems, and carefully designed the costumes and honors of the royal family and officials. However, due to time constraints, the palace etiquette has not yet been fully formulated."
Chao Yong nodded and said: "Okay, Mr. Zhao is indeed worthy of being a minister. Father has seen Mr. Zhao's talents and will definitely use him in the future."
Zhao Mingcheng hurriedly leaned over and said: "If you can win the respect of a virtuous father and son, how dare you not dedicate yourself to death and die."
Chao Yong smiled and said: "We are good at fighting, but we still need to rely on you to govern the country. You don't have to worry about conquering cities and territories, and dealing with the Song Dynasty's conquests, but you need to worry more about how to reduce the burden on the people and let them live and work in peace and contentment. ¡±
Zhao Mingcheng stood up excitedly, knelt on the ground and said: "The young general loves the people so much, it is really a blessing for all the people. I thank you for all the people."
Chao Yong couldn't tell whether Zhao Mingcheng was really excited for the people or just acting, so he hurriedly helped Zhao Mingcheng up and said: "Master Zhao, get up quickly. The people are noble and noble. I hope everyone will remember. To satisfy the common people is to harm them." The selfish desires of a few people will sooner or later be abandoned by the people, such as the Song Dynasty. Another point is that corruption was common in the Song Dynasty, but our country must put an end to this unhealthy trend. I have proposed that Pei Xuan, the iron-faced man, be specially responsible for supervising officials. , all officials are prohibited from accepting any money or goods, and anyone who reaches out, no matter how much, will be executed without mercy. Please also explain to Mr. Zhao and the remaining officials, don't think that we are just doing it superficially." (To be continued.)
