Chapter 497 Goodbye Xuande

In the city of Bianliang, Zhao Kuangyin was in a very conflicted mood.

During the time of Zhuge Wuhou, although it was the end of the Han Dynasty, there was still a strong wind, and it can be seen that later generations praised him a lot.

Not to mention Emperor Taizong of Tang, who started his army at the age of 17, conquered the world at the age of 24, and ascended the throne at the age of 29. His prestige was rare in ancient times.

Therefore, he was reluctant to talk much in normal times, so as not to get a cold shoulder.

Zhuge Wuhou explained to him why the Song Dynasty was divided into north and south, and Emperor Taizong of Tang used parallel sentences to talk about the affairs of Emperor Zhenzong, and the ridicule in his words was obvious.

This was also the reason why Zhao Kuangyin didn't like to speak later.

But these can't be taken care of for the time being, because there are huge doubts in his heart, and intuitively speaking, Zhao Kuangyin also feels that as long as he gets the "playback" function, many doubts may be solved.

After making up his mind, there is nothing to say, so Zhao Kuangyin was slightly entangled in the name.

Because the Tang and Song dynasties were so close, it was a bit strange to call them by their posthumous titles. Therefore, after much selection, they finally called them by the title of the general in charge of the Tiance Mansion.

He raised his finger to write on the stone table and asked questions. Finally, the words appeared on the light curtain. This action also made Zhao Pu very happy. Zhao Guangyi's eyes were wide open and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Fortunately, Zhuge Wuhou and Emperor Taizong of Tang were not people who kept secrets. Soon, two words also floated by, and the content was also clear.

〖Li Shimin: Sending things to future generations with sacrificial offerings can dispel doubts and resolve confusions.

Zhuge Liang: That giant ball is the land under our feet, called the Earth. If you want to know more, you can refer to the article "From the powerful to the noble family and then to the clan, the people let you be decent". The intention of paying may be to give future generations all kinds of things as a reward. The Emperor of Song can try it himself. 〗

It was quite similar to the two styles. Zhao Kuangyin seemed to see a decisive emperor who was too lazy to talk to him, and a civil official who was easy-going and not arrogant.

It was almost natural that Zhao Kuangyin sighed in his heart:

It is a pity that I can't work with Wu Hou.

However, he sighed, but his meaning was clear, and he remembered that the rest time in the middle was not long, which meant that he had no time to choose rare items from the treasury.

So the official of the Song Dynasty jumped up from the recliner and pointed to a box on the desk beside him and said:

"Bring it to me!"

After the eunuch hurriedly brought it over, he thought for a while and took out the jade axe from his waist and put it in the box, and then put the slingshot on his waist into it.

But this was still not enough, so Zhao Kuangyin turned his head and looked directly past Zhao Pu and stared at Zhao Guangyi.

Zhao Guangyi, who was holding his head high and looking straight, came back to his senses, blinked his eyes and understood, but waved his hands and said:

"These two things are given by my brother, so they should be..."

Zhao Kuangyin took a step forward without saying anything, looked at his brother for a while, pulled out the hairpin and threw it into the box, looked at it again and pulled the jade pendant off his waist.

Zhao Guangyi dared not say anything, but still muttered: "I saw that the things in the store were not precious..."

Zhao Kuangyin turned a deaf ear to it, carefully sealed the box and put it on the stone table, and followed the Tang Taizong's instructions to offer sacrifices, bowed his hands, and turned an idea in his mind. Before he could think of how to say the sacrifice, he looked up and saw that the box had disappeared.

This should be considered as a successful "payment"?

After finishing the work at hand, Zhao Kuangyin sighed slightly while listening to his brother's complaints, and said helplessly:

"My son is incompetent, and his greed for pleasure has caused the empire to be incomplete. All the royal family and concubines have suffered. More money cannot make up for the shame of Jingkang, but maybe... "

What can it do? Zhao Kuangyin himself couldn't explain it clearly. Can he make future generations less ridiculed by Song? Obviously impossible.

Let future generations tell more about the secrets of Song in more detail? It's hard to tell whether it's true or not, and it doesn't seem to make much sense. For a while, Zhao Kuangyin was a little disappointed. In his boredom, he habitually wanted to take out the jade axe and rub it twice, but he touched nothing.

So the emperor of the Song Dynasty suddenly felt a little regretful, but it was soon dispelled again.

Because when he looked up, he saw that the people on the screen seemed to be chatting with great interest.

〖Li Shimin: Wu Hou is doing well? A month ago, Li Jing reported victory in Qinghai, saying that he had defeated Tuyuhun and captured the bandit chieftain Fu Yun. He will soon present the captives to Chang'an to show his merit.

Li Shimin: The gunpowder and weapons in this battle were amazing. The Tang army was not damaged and the enemy was completely defeated. It can be called the hero. The day when Wu Hou defeated Cao's bandits is not far away.

Zhuge Liang: I am only thirty-two years old now, and I am in my prime. Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern. Now that Lord Xuande has occupied Chang'an and lived in peace with the people, you can send thousands of elite troops to Ye, Luo, and Xu next year to relieve the predicament of Jingzhou.

Li Shimin: Why not take the road to Hedong and go around Jinyang to Hebei to form a siege?

Liu Bei: General Tiance has a good idea.

Yan Lide: Wu Hou is fine. The General of Works wants to make bamboo paper, but many of them are not satisfactory. Do you have any key points to teach me?

Zhuge Liang: The bamboo paper we made in Chengdu can be used. The key points are quite easy. Just use young bamboo.

Zhuge Liang: Mr. Yan, do you have any distillation method to teach me?

……〗

The conversation on the screen was harmonious. The two sides exchanged their views on military affairs. What he saw next was the names that were only recorded in history books competing to shine on the screen.

Zhuge Wuhou was discussing craftsmanship and painting skills with the Yan brothers of Zhenguan.

Fa Zheng asked Zhangsun Wuji about the key points of Tang law.

Pang Tong was discussing the difference between Taixue and Guozijian with Fang Du, two famous ministers.

Even Emperor Taizong of Tang was very frugal when he was explaining his doubts to him, and he was very intimate when he talked to Wuhou.

Although he can understand it, Zhao Kuangyin is also quite envious.

"I see the scene in the future that looks like a fairyland, but I can still make my own decisions."

Zhao Pu smiled bitterly:

"But now when I see the ancient names and ministers talking so much, I feel like I am dreaming."

As he spoke, Zhao Pu looked at Zhao Kuangyin:

"In the official family, could it be that I died of illness on the way to Heyang, and now everyone is dreaming of evil spirits?"

Zhao Kuangyin smiled bitterly, not only Zhao Pu felt this way, he felt the same.

Maybe I didn't want to talk about it in words before, and I felt it was quite dreamy in my heart.

Fortunately, such a harmonious conversation only lasted for a moment. As the light screen lit up again, the words of those conversations stopped.

But this time, the content on the light screen was not text and pictures, but became like the previous light screen, except that the picture became a vertical rectangle, which Zhao Kuangyin was not used to.

…

Liu Bei and others from Han Chang'an were no strangers, because he had seen such a thing called "vlog" once, and the memory left for him that time was not very pleasant, so this time...

[Hello, friends, the illiterate are here to wish the young and old gentlemen a happy old age!

This time during the Chinese New Year, the owner of UP went home to spend the New Year and then went out again in a hurry.

On the one hand, of course, it’s to collect photos for the New Year and shoot more clips, but on the other hand, of course, I can’t worry about another baby!

As for which treasure it is, you can naturally guess it by looking at the sign of the nature reserve behind the UP owner.

Deng Deng Deng, of course you have to come and visit our channel’s group favorites during the Chinese New Year.

Come, Xuande, say hello to your brothers, sisters, uncles, aunts and uncles! 】

Liu Bei's face suddenly turned as black as the bottom of a pot.

Looking at the cute little white rice cake on the light screen, Kong Ming and others naturally recognized it. After all, this was obtained by Yide himself and given to future generations.

It’s just the name Xuande…

An indescribable joyful mood filled the general's mansion, making Liu Bei even more helpless.

Fortunately, Yide is not here...

Liu Bei couldn't remember how many times he sighed this sentence in his heart today.

But he can vouch for Taiyi God, and this is definitely the most sincere time.

However, looking at the little beast on the light screen that could open its mouth after being far away from the battle in the mountains, Liu Bei couldn't feel any boredom. In the end, he could only hum between his teeth with a dark face:

"This white... giant panda is quite fat."

"If my lord doesn't like it, just wait until next time someone writes a letter to persuade him to change his name to Kong Ming."

Pang Tong was overjoyed with the suggestion.

"No need!"

Liu Bei objected almost subconsciously, but this move made the joyful atmosphere in the hall even stronger.

…

In the Ganlu Hall, all the civil and military officials in Zhenguan looked at the white scorpion in the light curtain with raised eyebrows, and then looked at His Majesty with a calm expression.

Du Ruhui complained directly:

"Your Majesty has told you that there are many omissions."

Li Shimin twirled his beard and laughed:

"This matter is of no importance, so there is no need to say more."

After all, he only half understood what later generations said about the preciousness of this thing.

The only thing he could understand was that Wu Zetian used this gift as a gift to the Japanese slaves to bring happiness between the two countries. Li Shimin had made up his mind not to do this again.

It is a waste to compare the appearance of China’s rare beasts with the true nature of a country that is a country of small beasts!

Empress Changsun looked at the naive "Xuan De" and the smile on her face never stopped. Seeing her husband's calm appearance, she turned her head and covered her mouth and asked with a smile:

"Your Majesty, if Xuande is here, where are the people of the world?"

Li Shimin immediately turned his head:

"What's the matter with this!"

Zhenguan Wenwu suddenly had a smile on his face.

There are even bolder people like Du Ruhui who thought in their hearts:

Even if there is, according to the nature of this young man, he will probably be called two phoenixes, right?

As for the Queen's question, although it seemed presumptuous, the Manlu Hall was not a court meeting at this time, and the Emperor and Queen had always been good at playing the piano and harp, so naturally no one like them, the old ministers, would disturb the scenery.

Only Wei Zheng, who was blowing his beard and staring, was also held back by Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui.

[Let’s just watch Xuande eating bamboo here first, and then the UP owner will give you a brief report.

It can be said that the gift from the boss arrived as promised, but I don’t know if it’s because of the Chinese New Year, but this time it’s quite down-to-earth.

The heaviest thing was a bag of wheat, and the note on it said it was Guanzhong Baijiamai. 】

Liu Bei smiled when he heard this. This was the gift given by him.

Now that Guanzhong can be stabilized, his uncle Liu Huang's name actually does not play that big a role.

This name is actually not as good as those old soldiers who were strictly ordered not to disturb the people and were also busy repairing walls, building houses and dredging ditches.

And the biggest weapon to bring stability to Guanzhong is the wheat given to the younger generations.

Having fields to plant, more yields per acre, light corvee and low taxes, and not following the methods of Cao Jun's slaves are the biggest reasons why Guanzhong can be stable today.

[The most interesting gift is a bag of green salt, placed in a box with "Qinghai Salt" written on it.

This box of lake salt UP was given to my parents at home, and the feedback was very good. Thank you very much. 】

Li Shimin of Ganlu Hall also had a smile on his face.

As Li Jing escorted Fu Yun closer and closer to Chang'an, there were more and more detailed reports about the battle. Among the things Li Yaoshi sent in advance to praise his achievements, the most unique thing was a small bag of green salt.

Li Shimin knew the Turks very well, and he speculated that the Tuyuhun should be similar. The chiefs controlled the life and death of the tribe with salt. For the Hu people, salt was also a symbol of authority, so it was reasonable to give it to them.

Therefore, he did not hesitate too much and simply gave it to his descendants. Hearing that he kept it for his family to eat, Li Shimin was even a little relieved.

However, he also had a little regret in his heart. In fact, he knew that his descendants were celebrating the New Year early, but he did not expect that the New Year in the future would be so grand, otherwise he would definitely give it as lucky money.

Forget it, forget it, I will make up for it later.

[But seeing that there are grains and green salt, I thought the boss would play plain this time.

As a result, the small box that came with it was amazing, with four high-level handicrafts.

A jade axe, a slingshot, a hairpin, and a jade pendant.

The best-looking one is naturally the hairpin, which is obviously a Song Dynasty product.

The hairpins of the Tang and Song dynasties are similar, with a slight difference that men in the Song Dynasty also had the custom of wearing flowers in their hairpins. Therefore, most Tang hairpins were hollowed out with gilded carvings, while most Song hairpins were capped cones to facilitate the use of both men and women.

The Northern Song Dynasty royal family also held a hairpin flower banquet, where eunuchs would pick various flowers in the Imperial Garden, and then the Song emperor would reward different flowers to be pinned on their heads according to the closeness and merits of the ministers.

"Dream Pool Essays" records the story of the four ministers wearing flowers in their hairpins, and "Dongjing Menghualu" also records that the sons of the nobles of the Northern Song Dynasty wore flowers in their hairpins and paraded through the streets, causing women to "compete to see and watch" and even "lower their eyebrows" and "secretly envy them."

Not to mention jade pendants, the jade pendants of the Song Dynasty are also easy to identify, whether it is the material or the carving knife work, or the rich patterns and shapes, it is considered a peak of ancient jade pendant art. Although the craftsmanship of the Ming Dynasty was better, due to the overall restraint of social culture, the shape was more majestic, and the complexity of the craftsmanship was not emphasized.

As for the slingshot and jade axe... This reminds me of an emperor who was said to have been hacked to death.

Since the big guys have hinted so, we can't avoid talking about the candle shadow and the axe sound in the next issue, right?

As for these two things, there is not much to say. The slingshot is an all-round inferior substitute for the bow and arrow. Because it is necessary to pinch the projectile, it is relatively weak in force compared to the bow and arrow, which can be pulled by the whole hand. In addition, it is obvious which one is more lethal between the projectile and the arrow.

The axe is similar. Since the Tang Dynasty, the long axe soldiers have basically been seen sporadically. Most of the time, they are only used as special attacks against heavy armor. It is a top-tier tool, a first-class ritual vessel, a second-class toy, and a third-class legion war weapon.

That's all. In addition, the handicrafts this time are very popular with a friend of mine. He bought them with a lot of money and exchanged them for Xuande's food. Basically, it can take care of Xuande's needs in this life. He has solved the problem of retirement before he grows up. I have to say that the UP host is very envious.

So this issue ends here. I wish the audience a happy and smooth new year. See you next time! 】

In the Bianliang Palace, Zhao Kuangyin looked at the description of "being hacked to death" and for some reason his heart skipped a beat.

Then he felt that he was overthinking. After all, the Song Dynasty had not yet been unified, and the chaotic times had not yet ended.

In this situation, even the emperor's life was worthless, and being hacked to death was nothing new.

"The emperor who was hacked to death? Which unlucky one..." Zhao Guangyi muttered.

These words entered Zhao Kuangyin's ears, and for some reason he felt an inexplicable feeling of annoyance.
