Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Everyone has no objection to the extermination of Wanjiao, but they do not agree to implement it now. They want to wait until the world is unified before exterminating the religion. Otherwise, Daliang is likely to face internal and external troubles at the same time.

    A gentleman¡¯s revenge is never too late in ten years, and Chao Yong is not in a hurry. In his opinion, it will only take a few months for him to wipe out Jiangnan.

    After coming out of Chongzheng Hall, it was almost noon, and Chao Yong went to the harem to have dinner with his mother.

    In the afternoon, Chao Yong went to the military camp again.

    Since it has been decided to lead the new army to the south of the Yangtze River, the matter of sending the new army to replace the troops in Hebei has to be postponed.

    Wang Jin heard that Chao Yong was going to lead 40,000 new troops to the south of the Yangtze River, and he also knew that the effectiveness of the training would be tested as soon as they entered the battlefield.  Although he was very confident in the soldiers and horses he trained, in order to prove his merits, he still carefully selected the soldiers and horses from Jiangnan, and at the same time trained these new troops more rigorously.

    That night when he returned to the Tai Palace, Chao Yong went to the Ruizhu Palace.

    When Chao Feng, who was babbling, saw Chao Yong, she called him daddy in a sweet voice and stretched out her hands to hug him.

    Seeing the child, Chao Yong put aside his worries, took Chao Feng from Hu Sanniang's arms, and said with a smile: "My Feng'er is so smart, what kind of man do you want me to find for her in the future?"

    Hu Sanniang also said proudly: "They also say that Feng'er is precocious. My brother's children can only speak after they are one year old."

    Chao Yong smiled and said: "Everyone knows that you gave birth to a good daughter for me. In a few years, people who want to propose marriage will have to cross the threshold of the prince's uterus."

    Hu Sanniang said with a smile: "Back then I wanted to hold a martial arts competition to recruit a bride, and Feng'er's husband wanted to be both skilled in martial arts."

    Chao Yong teased Chao Feng while making faces, and said: "Then why don't you compete in martial arts to get married? I can also show off my skills."

    Hu Sanniang rolled her eyes at Chao Yong and said, "I was hugged and hugged by you in public at Zhujiazhuang. How can I compete with others to get a bride? I have to give you an advantage."

    The two chatted and laughed for a while, and Hu Sanniang suddenly said: "Hua Ling is here today."

    Chao Yong also remembered Hua Ling who suddenly appeared on the second floor during class two days ago, and said with a smile: "Well, what can I do?"

    Hu Sanniang looked at Chao Yong and said, "Prince, guess what?"

    Chao Yong shook his head and said, "You can't guess a woman's thoughts."

    "She went to greet the prince in public. The prince still doesn't understand?"

    Chao Yong smiled and said: "There are so many women in the uterus, she won't also come to join in the fun, right?"

    Hu Sanniang nodded and said: "She has had an admiration for the prince since she was in Liangshan. However, the prince was busy with things and did not spend much time in Liangshan. She also turned a blind eye to him. A few days ago, Qin Ming proposed to Hua Rong, and Hua Rong  He went to ask Hua Ling for his opinion. Hua Ling was forced to reveal her sweetheart, but Hua Rong didn't want Hua Ling to marry into the palace. In addition, the prince didn't seem to be interested in her, so Hua Rong couldn't sell him door-to-door.  His own sister. Therefore, Hua Rong was also very worried about Hua Ling's marriage. Qin Ming was Hua Rong's old boss, so it was hard for him to reject Qin Ming directly. During this period, he was also fighting in Hedong.  They are in a dilemma, so they sent a letter recently, asking Hua Ling to go to the palace more often. If the prince turns a blind eye, he will betroth Hua Ling to Qin Ming by the time they teach.  . I ran to the Northern Suburbs Royal Road to greet you, and today I came to Ruizhu Palace to ask my opinion."

    Chao Yong didn¡¯t expect that one day he would be chased by someone, and she was also a stunning beauty.  However, this kind of daring to love and hate reminded him of Fang Baihua, and he couldn't help but shake his head.

    Hu Sanniang looked at Chao Yong in astonishment and said, "Hua Ling is much more beautiful than your concubines. Do you look down on her?"

    Chao Yong shook his head and said: "No, she just reminds me of Baihua."

    Hu Sanniang had already known about Chao Yong and Fang Baihua.  Hearing this, he said: "You miss Sister Baihua, just send someone to invite her to come to Tokyo."

    Chao Yong sighed: "She can't come to Tokyo."

    Hu Sanniang looked at Chao Yong who looked sad.  He was stunned and said: "Could it be that she?"

    Chao Yong nodded and said: "I was killed by Manichaean rebels. I only found out yesterday."

    Hu Sanniang was stunned for a moment and said: "Beauty has a bad fate, Prince, don't be too upset. This is fate. If she had come back with Li Jun and Mu Hong, she would have been so blessed. Maybe Baihua is benevolent and benevolent.  , She is a heroine who does not give in to men, and I am not as good as her in this regard.¡±

    Hu Sanniang believed that she could not lose to Fang Baihua in martial arts, but she admired Fang Baihua's ambition.

    Chao Yong nodded and said: "Maybe, next month I will lead the troops south to wipe out the Southern Song Dynasty and Manichaeism, and avenge Baihua. When the world is unified, I can spend more time with you."

    "Well, then the prince will be able to rest."

      Hu Sanniang didn't say too many words, but this simple sentence was full of worries about Chao Yong's health.  After Daliang raised his troops, Chao Yong kept running to various places. When his horses still had time to rest, he had to keep changing horses and running around.

    Chao Yong smiled and said: "Don't you know my body? I have never come back as strong as a dragon or a tiger."

    Hu Sanniang¡¯s face turned red when she heard Chao Yong¡¯s joking, and she quickly asked: ¡°What about Hua Ling?¡±

    Chao Yong smiled and said: "Since she doesn't mind the crowd of people in the palace, she can propose marriage to Hua Rong another day, and I'll leave this matter to you."

    "Okay, I will send someone to inform Hua Ling when I get back, so that she won't get angry in a hurry."

    When Hu Sanniang was in Liangshan, she wanted to take Hua Ling into the house for Chao Yong, but Hua Rong was Song Jiang's confidant, and Chao Yong ordered Song Jiang to be killed.  Hu Sanniang was worried that it would be difficult to make the flower bell in the middle, so she gave up the idea.  Now that Hua Rong and Chao Yong have long since cleared up their grudge, and Hua Ling likes the prince, Hu Sanniang is naturally happy to match him.

    A few days after Chao Yong returned to Beijing, Lin Chong also returned to Beijing, accompanied by two staff members: Xu Guanzhong, Shenji Military Advisor Zhu Wu, and Ren Duojier, the most beautiful woman in Xixia.

    After Renduo Baozhong returned to the Renduo tribe, he persuaded everyone in the tribe, prepared many gifts, and sent people to send Renduo Gil to Xingqing Mansion.

    "When Renduojier and his party arrived at Xingqing Mansion, Chao Yong had already led his troops to form a division.

    Renduojier and his party had no choice but to follow. When they arrived in Shaanxi, Lin Chong was about to lead his troops to regroup, so the two teams set off together.

    Ren Duojier was only thirteen years old at this time. She was like a fairy since she was a child. Everyone held her in their hands and no one was willing to speak loudly to her.  Therefore, Renduojier was very angry at Chao Yong's behavior of teaching the class without waiting for her, but his face remained tense for two days.  Immerse yourself in the ever-changing scenery along the way.

    After arriving in Tokyo, I was deeply shocked by the largest city in the world.

    It wasn¡¯t until I arrived at the uterus that I remembered that I was about to see that hateful person, and my face sank again.

    As soon as I got out of the car, I saw a heroic man with a four-clawed golden dragon embroidered on his clothes standing in front of the crown prince's palace. He was not very tall, but his power was unparalleled in the world. He was not handsome in appearance, but he was very majestic.

    Xu Guanzhong and Zhu Wu saw the prince greeting him in front of the palace, and hurried forward to greet him.

    Chao Yong smiled and said, "We haven't seen you for a long time. It's been a long journey, so I won't keep you here today. You all will come to the palace the next day, and I will drink new wine with you."

    Although both of them have official positions, they mostly provide advice to the generals.  And they are all appointed by the prince himself, which can also be said to be the prince's staff.  Therefore, Lin Chong went to arrange the troops and horses, and asked the two men to escort Renduojier to the palace of the prince.

    "Okay, then I'll take my leave first."

    After the two left, Chao Yong turned his attention to Ren Duojier.

    Seeing the most beautiful woman in Xixia, Chao Yong felt a little bright. This was the most beautiful child she had ever seen.  No wonder she was able to win the title of the most beautiful woman in Xixia at a very young age. This is the embryo of the most beautiful woman in the world.

    Of course, whether she is number one in Xixia or number one in the world, she is still a child.

    Chao Yong smiled at Renduojier.  Then he said to He Yong: "Find a pavilion for her to live in. Everything will be done according to the concubine's specifications."

    After saying that, he said to Renduojier: "If you need anything, just ask him. If you feel homesick, I can send someone to take you back."

    Rendor Gil thought of his family¡¯s instructions when he came.  Qiong's nose wrinkled and she said, "Grandpa said that I am the prince's son and I cannot go home casually."

    Chao Yong smiled and said: "Then you can live in the palace."

    Finished.  Then he turned around and walked towards the prince's womb.

    Renduojier originally thought that Chao Yong went out to pick her up, but she didn't expect that Chao Yong only said a few words and then went back. It seemed that he came to pick up Xu Guanzhong and Zhu Wu who were in front.

    Not willing to be left out, Renduojier immediately shouted: "Don't leave."

    When the waitress who was following Rendor Gil saw this, her legs started to tremble with fear, and she said urgently: "Miss, please don't be rude."

    Ren Duojier thought of his family's warning, a layer of mist could not help but rise in his eyes, and he felt so aggrieved that he was about to cry.  The little princess who has been surrounded by everyone since she was a child has never been ignored like this, and this was already the second time for Chao Yong.

    Chao Yong turned around and saw the tears in Ren Duojier's eyes, and couldn't help but feel pain in his heart. He quickly said softly: "What's the matter?"

    Renduojier said aggrievedly: "I rushed from the tribe to Xingqing Mansion, and then from Xingqing Mansion to Tokyo, why are you avoiding me?"

    Chao Yong shook his head helplessly and said, "I'm not avoiding you, it's just that I have something to do."

    Ren DuoJill said: "You're lying. It's almost dark, what else do you have to do?"

    Chao Yong was stunned on the spot. He was going to find other concubines to sleep with, but he obviously couldn't tell the little girl in front of him about this kind of thing.

    Chao Yong had no choice but to say: "I want to see my child, do you want to go too?"

    Hearing this, Renduojier immediately jumped for joy and said, "Go."

    Chao Yong had no choice but to ask He Yong to take Renduojier's maid to clean up the residence. However, the Renduo family brought many things to Renduojier, and there were hundreds of servants.

    In the Ruizhu Hall, Hu Sanniang suddenly saw Chao Yong coming in with a fairy-like girl, and she couldn't help but praise: "Whose child looks like a fairy."

    Chao Yong smiled and said: "Renduojier, the most beautiful woman in Xixia. Renduo Baozhong promised her to me when we were in Xingqing Mansion. I just followed Lin Chong into Beijing."

    This was the first time Chao Yong told Hu Sanniang about this matter. It was not that Chao Yong wanted to hide it from her, but that Chao Yong did not take it to heart.

    Ren Duojier also knew that he was coming to the residence of the Crown Princess. He hurriedly followed the Han etiquette he had learned on the way and said, "Ren Duojier has seen the Crown Princess."

    Hu Sanniang smiled and said: "It turns out to be sister Renduo. No need to be polite. She is so beautiful. No wonder she has the most beautiful woman in Xixia. When my sister is fine, she will come here to play."

    Renduojier smiled and said: "Okay."

    Hu Sanniang asked Ren Duojier some things on the road, and Xiao Qing rushed over.  When she saw some party members coming to the palace, she couldn't help but went up to inquire out of curiosity. When she learned that her master had been led to the Ruizhu Palace by the prince, she came to join in the fun.

    Xiaoqing was not very young, so she saw Renduojier getting closer and chatted for a while.  It's time for dinner.

    Hu Sanniang left them to have dinner together in Ruizhu Hall. After the meal, it was not until Chao Feng went to bed that Xiao Qing took Ren Duojier away.

    Although Rendor Gil left, Hu Sanniang and Chao Yong chatted with Rendor Gil for a while. After just getting along for more than an hour, the simple and straightforward Rendor Gil made both of them like him.

    Two days passed in a flash, and all the generals in the capital came to the prince's palace to drink.  Those invited were Lin Chong, Wu Song, Li Kui, Zhang Qing, Xu Guanzhong, Zhu Wu, Hu Yanzhuo, Luan Tingyu, Liu Tang, and Shi Jin. Liu Tang served as a captain of thousands under Lin Chong, but he was senior enough.  Chao Yong couldn't leave him alone, but the other captains didn't invite him.  Shi Jin had no actual duties. When Lin Chong went to Xijing to defend against Tian Hu and Wang Qing, he and Zhu Wu were sent to help out.  But Lin Chong did not get a chance to fight, nor did he have a chance to make meritorious deeds.  I can only continue to listen to Lin Chong's account.

    ??The navy commanders were all invited, including Ruan Xiaoer, Ruan Xiaowu, Ruan Xiaoqi, Li Jun, Zhang Heng, Zhang Shun, Tong Wei, Tong Meng, and Liu Menglong.

    The other two people were Fang Jie and Shi Bao, and they lived together with the prince's soldiers in the prince's palace.  Under the careful treatment of the imperial doctor, Fang Jie's illness has been mostly cured.

    Entering the Yanfu Hall, Li Kui saw a room full of wine jars, and shouted with bright eyes: "Did the prince collect all the new wine in the city?"

    It¡¯s almost the Mid-Autumn Festival, and all the major restaurants in the city have gone on sale.

    Chao Yong nodded and said: "We have collected all the famous drinks in the city. There are also some wines that I steamed myself."

    Lin Chong couldn't help but wonder: "Steamed wine?"

    Chao Yong smiled and said: "Actually, part of the water in these wines is evaporated, making them stronger."

    Distilled liquor does not have a high technical content. As long as you think about it, you can make it.

    Chao Yong had never distilled liquor before.  But because Liangshan does not produce grain, it would be a waste to make some wine, and it would be a crime to distill spirits again.  But now Daliang already owns half of the country, despite the famine this year.  But people won¡¯t starve to death.  It just so happens that new wine is on the market, in order to prepare for today's banquet.  Yesterday, I asked someone to buy some famous wines in the city, and then distilled a few jars.

    Li Kui grinned and said: "The wine the prince made must be the fairy wine from heaven. We are blessed. Which jar is the prince's wine? Let me have a taste."

    Chao Yong pointed to several small jars and said with a smile: "Those are just steamed wine, but this wine is very strong. Let alone the jars, you may not be able to drink a few bowls of it even if it is a bowl."

    The most indispensable thing in Tokyo is skilled craftsmen. As soon as Chao Yong explained the principle, he produced sophisticated wooden distillation equipment in less than two hours.

    Chao Yong tried the newly steamed wine yesterday. Although the degree cannot be measured accurately, according to Chao Yong's experience in later generations, it is probably no less than 50 or 60 degrees, which is much stronger than the wine with more than 10 degrees on the market today.  .  In the past, Wu Song could drink dozens of bowls to beat Jiang Menshen, but if he drinks this strong liquor, he would probably be drunk to death after drinking dozens of bowls.

    Li Kui didn¡¯t believe it and walked over.He picked up a jar of wine, opened the mud seal, and poured it into his mouth.

    As soon as I opened the mud seal, a scent of wine spread out.

    Wu Song shouted: "Good wine."

    Li Kui took a deep breath, then picked up the jar without hesitation and poured it into his mouth.

    "Gudong, Gudong."

    After taking two sips, Li Kui blushed, put down the jar, and said with a big tongue, "It's such a strong wine, it will burn your intestines if you drink it in your stomach."

    Chao Yong smiled and said: "Sit down, let's eat slowly, this wine is very strong."

    There were two tables in the hall. Lin Chong, Wu Song, Li Kui, Zhang Qing, Xu Guanzhong, Zhu Wu, Hu Yanzhuo, Luan Tingyu, Liu Tang, and Shi Jin sat at one table. Fang Jie, Shi Baoze, Ruan Xiaoer, and Ruan Xiaowu sat at one table.  , Ruan Xiaoqi, Li Jun, Zhang Heng, Zhang Shun, Tong Wei, Tong Meng, Liu Menglong and other naval commanders sat at the same table.

    The main seats at the two tables are empty, so Chao Yong can move back and forth.

    Li Kui saw the tray and couldn't help but said: "Why is there another wooden board on the table? It's such a hindrance."

    Xu Guanzhong saw the way, turned it slightly, and saw that the tray was indeed turning, and the seasonal fruits placed on it were also turning. He couldn't help but praise: "Good stuff, this is also the prince's invention, right?"

    Chao Yong smiled and said: "It's boring."

    Xu Guanzhong said: "If this thing spreads outside, it will definitely become popular very quickly. With this thing, everyone will save effort when eating."

    Li Kui reached out and grabbed a pear, took a bite, and said with a smile: "That's right. If I want to eat the thing on the opposite side, I don't have to stand up. I just turn this thing around."

    This is not the first time that everyone has had wine at the same table. In the past, when Li Kui couldn't reach it, he would definitely stand up, but when others couldn't reach it, he wouldn't stand up and eat. Instead, he would pick something he could reach and eat.

    Some people don¡¯t have much pursuit of food and drink, while others think it¡¯s a bit rude.  With this turntable, their problem was solved.

    Ruan Xiaoqi pointed to the hole in the middle of the table and said, "What is there?"

    Chao Yong smiled and said: "Hot pot, we have hot pot today."

    By this time, hot pots already existed, not only copper hot pots, but also hot pots similar to those of later generations, which were continuously heated with charcoal fire, and pots for cooking meat were also available. There were hot pot restaurants in Tokyo.

    When everyone sat down, the eunuch in the palace used iron tongs to grab an iron basin with charcoal fire in it.  After putting on the charcoal fire, put the pot on it.

    The soup in the pot is not water, but a soup base carefully prepared by the imperial chef. It emits a tangy fragrance just after it is heated.

    Then a dish was cut into the nearly transparent beef and mutton and various vegetables. The kitchen's knife skills were not weaker than the mechanical. A piece of beef and mutton could clearly see the opposite person.

    The side ingredient is sesame paste. For Lin Chong and others, the novelty is just sesame paste. The common side ingredients on the market are made of wine, soy sauce, pepper, cinnamon, etc. There has never been sesame paste.  Although sesame seeds already exist.
