I, Han Gaozu, actually traveled through Song Gaozong?

Chapter 114 Returning to the Imperial City
Liu Bang has not been out of the imperial city for a long time.

From Qin Hui's imprisonment to his death, for more than a month, the emperor was either on Chen Guifei's bed or discussing matters with the ministers.

From time to time, a group of people in the Chui Gong Palace can be heard arguing fiercely, either Zhang Taiwei yelling frighteningly, or Han Shizhong fighting each other, and even Yue Fei can be heard arguing with them...

The emperor and ministers of the Song Dynasty seemed to have all been beaten with chicken blood. Everyone seemed to have endless energy. The first thing everyone opened their eyes every day was to pinch their fingers to count the days.

It’s just a hard work for the Shangshi Bureau. After all, it’s not a Chinese New Year or a holiday. There are a lot of extra mouths to eat in the palace. The extra work is shared among everyone. The female officials and eunuchs will inevitably have some complaints.

"Eat, eat, and eat!"

It's nothing to cook with the emperor, this is what I do.

But those stinking mounds, what kind of food do they know!

The little maid's eyes widened, and she couldn't stop describing to the people next to him how Yue Shaobao's lieutenant general was eating:

"My sister doesn't know, that man seems to be reincarnated from starvation, he swallowed three bowls of bird's nest in one gulp!"

The person next to him showed a surprised expression very cooperatively, and made a 'tsk tsk' sound from time to time to express his admiration for this behavior.

And the starving ghost they talked about was Niu Gao.

This time all the armies and generals have gained something, such as Yue Yun, the emperor insisted on making him a champion, the major general was very happy, but seeing Yue Fei's face collapsed, he dared not accept it.

In the end, the emperor pointed at Yue Shaobao's nose and scolded him for a long time, asking him if he felt that he was underrated, and if so, he would make Yue Yun a prince!

That being said, Yue Yun is only a few years old, and his father is only a Duke of the county. If he becomes a Duke of the State, he will be at the same level as Zhang Jun and Han Shizhong, even higher than Yue Fei's title.

The maid next to her heard the excitement, and echoed:

"Yue Shaobao is a bit ignorant of good and bad! Last time I saw with my own eyes, Zhang Taiwei asked for an errand for his Dalang, but he was scolded by the officials for a long time, and finally he didn't agree. Now the officials want to give him a title. , he even forbade the major general to accept it!"

"Who says it's not!" The female officer answered, "The major general is so handsome, and he has a Marquis at such a young age..." She clasped her hands on her chest, with an imaginative expression:

"I don't know which girl is so lucky to marry him as his wife..."

Girls at this age are most likely to miss spring, but when it comes to the fact that the emperor bestowed a pair of pure gold double maces on the savage who ate three bowls of bird's nests, everyone became angry again.

"The officials are generous, but it's a pity that the wild man ruined things."

"Yes, it's made of pure gold, at least it costs hundreds of thousands of dollars."

Perhaps because of something, Niu Gao, who had just accompanied the emperor out of the imperial city, sneezed several times, which made Wang Gui complain several times in front of the emperor, saying that he had lost his bearing in front of the emperor, so he should go clean. Learn from Huang Yanjie.

These days, everyone is used to making jokes in front of the emperor, but... this is limited to a few of them.

It is also strange to say that the higher the official position, the more serious it is in front of the officials, and the higher the official position, the more it looks like the official's unilateral bullying in front of the emperor.

Just like the last time Taiwei Zhang went to the girl in Sizhou City for some reason, the official just took a look at him, and he kowtowed several times...

Niu Gao was holding the pair of double maces wrapped in cloth, he had to hold them every day except going to the palace to discuss matters, even when eating and sleeping, he was really closer than his own son.

But the emperor claims to be pure gold, but actually...

It's actually pure gold too!Could it be that Niu Gao could sell this thing to Ronglai?
Yue Fei stopped Wang Gui and kept admitting his mistakes to the emperor, but Liu Bang didn't care too much, but said with some doubts:
"What holiday is today?"

A group of people, not counting the guards, there were dozens of them. After thinking about it for a while, they replied very resolutely:
"No."

"Since it's not..." Liu Bang was even more puzzled, "Why are there so many people?"

It's not like he hasn't visited Lin'an at night, and he knows that although there are many people in Lin'an, they are not as many as today.

It was only after the emperor's reminder that the big guys came to their senses... But yes, except for His Majesty who really treats shopping as shopping, which of them would dare?

Not to mention the crowds outside Chaotianmen, but it is no exaggeration to step on the feet of three people with one step. When you step out of Chaotianmen, the whole Lin'an seems to have become a vegetable market.
There was smoke everywhere.

As a group of people walked forward, Yang Yizhong sent people to inquire about the news, and at the same time, Zhao Mi and Zhong Feng who followed also asked people to send more people.

If something happened to this group of people, Song Guo would be ruined from top to bottom.

After a while, the person who inquired about the news came back... In fact, there was no need to inquire about it at all, after all, this matter had been spread all over Lin'an City.

It's just that these noble people worry about the important affairs of their family and country all day long, so naturally they don't care about such trivial matters.

After listening to what this person said, everyone present has a thoughtful expression...

Well, mainly the Emperor of Learning.

It is said in "Qi Ming Yao Shu": "The ointment ring is made with rice crumbs, water, and honey, and it is as strong as soup cake noodles. The ball can be eight inches long when you hold it with your hands. Make the two ends meet each other, and cook it with ointment. .”

This kind of fried pasta is not new. There was a small vendor in Bianjing city back then, who used glutinous rice flour to knead the noodles, added a little salt, kneaded them and twisted them into the shape of ring-shaped bracelets, and fried them in oil... relying on this fried ring Cake, that person insisted on buying a house with one exit and three entrances in Bianjing City.

And today's excitement comes from this thing.

It is said that there are two vendors under the Zhong'an Bridge, the Li's sells sesame and scallion pancakes, and the Wang's sells fried glutinous rice balls.

That day when Qin Hui was tortured, more than 10 people squeezed into Lin'an City, but Dali Temple was only that big, so there were still a small number of people who could witness this scene with their own eyes.

What about more people?
Apart from squeezing into the teahouse to listen to the story, all I could do was wander around... But when Qin Hui came to Lin'an while he was being tortured, he assumed he had seen him before, and when he went back to brag about it, he already had capital.

And the two families under the Zhong'an Bridge were selling their food well. When the news of Qin Hui's being cut came out, the Li family who sold sesame seed cakes still felt puzzled, and said to the Wang family:
"Watch me fix them!"

As he said that, he unscrewed two lumps of dough and pinched them into two villains, one was Qin Hui with hanging eyebrows and the other was Wang with a crooked mouth. Then he picked up a kitchen knife and cut the two villains into noodles...

It attracted many people around who didn't see the big scene with their own eyes, and they couldn't stop applauding, which also made his biscuit business very prosperous.

The Wang family who sells fried dumplings next to me saw it and said quickly:
"You're nothing, look at me!"

As he said that, he pinched out two small figures, one male and one female, and let them stick their backs together, and then threw them into the frying pan together.

Cook and fry in various ways, make it roll in the pot, turn it over and over again, and continue to torment until the skin is burnt and the bones are crispy... The Wang family kept yelling:

"Come and see! Qin Hui is in the frying pan!"

Pedestrians all clapped their hands and applauded. After a pair of people fished it out, they tore a little bit of this one, and broke a piece of that one.

Everyone asked the Wang family to do more frying... The two families formed a team, the Li family was in charge of cooking, and the Wang family was in charge of frying.

In one day, this fried little man became the most popular food in Lin'an City, attracting many restaurants and restaurants to imitate it, and named it:
Fried juniper.

If a restaurant can't provide this stuff now, then his business will naturally lag behind others; when every family has it, he will spend more time on the taste.

There are some with sugar, some with salt, and some with soy milk for free...

Today's bustle is due to a fried cypress eating competition held in Lin'an City led by several big restaurants... How about they can bring their business to Lin'an!With so many people, daily food, clothing, housing and transportation are a huge expense, if you don't take advantage of this time to make more money, even if you kill Zhao Ding next time, I'm afraid there won't be such a lively time.

Cooperating with this competition, peddlers in other industries naturally also got the credit, and they all came to join in the fun.

In this way, there is today's appearance.

Everyone saw the emperor thinking for a while, but they didn't know what he meant.

He just thinks that the officials are people who have read sage books after all, and now that the common people hate the prime minister so much, he may feel a little unhappy in his heart.

After all, this is the person he personally picked out.

But he didn't want to, the emperor thought for a while, and asked:
"Could it be that Ling Chi was kinder that day? We should actually deep-fry Qin Hui?"

No one answered the emperor's question, because soon his eyes lit up:

"Let's go! Let's try the fried cypress too!"

At Dali Temple that day, many people had already seen the emperor.

So when he went out today, he followed Hu Quan's example and covered himself with a lot of beards.

This group of people knew that they all had identities just by looking at them. In addition, there were countless forbidden soldiers hiding in secret. Wherever they went, others avoided them.

I don't know how many words were scolded by these street vendors behind the scenes.

But the good thing is that they don't have to wait in line.

Seeing these people spending money generously again, the businessmen changed their expressions again, and all of them were beaming with joy.

There were so many of them, they ate from Chaotianmen to Yuhangmen, and they ate for almost an hour... This food was so greasy, basically they bought a few portions, and everyone ate them. On the handkerchief Liu Bang used to wipe his mouth , are now all stained with oil.

Even so, after eating one by one, even Niu Gao got tired of it, let alone other people.

After finally finding a shop selling mung bean soup, everyone seemed to have seen a savior and sat down quickly.

After the mung bean soup was eaten, everyone felt relieved... They couldn't help but think that Qin Xiangye's reputation will last forever in this way, and I'm afraid it should be the No. 1 in ancient and modern times.

Liu Bang looked at the few at the same table, smashed his mouth and said:

"Look, the way the common people express their likes and dislikes is so simple and direct. This is another way to express it with this fried juniper... If you really hand over Qin Hui to them and let them handle it , our Prime Minister Qin may suffer a lot."

I don't know why the emperor suddenly felt this, and everyone said yes.

"What I mean is..." He changed the subject, "Do you know how long it took Liu Bang to pacify Sanqin when he left the customs?"

Everyone knows the words 'redetermined Sanqin' and 'secret Chencang', and now the emperor asks, and they all start talking about it.

Some say four months, some say six months, and some say eight months.

It's not a memory bias, it's just that for Ping Sanqin, what is considered a level, it only counts when Zhang Han is dead, or if he enters Xianyang.

Everyone had different opinions, and Liu Bang listened for a while before signaling them to be quiet.

"Actually, it only took..." He raised a finger, "One day."

Everyone didn't know what the emperor was trying to trick, only Yue Fei thought about it seriously... Yue Yun told him last time that the Zhao family knew a lot about war.

To be honest, whether there are many or not, Yue Fei himself does not know.

"From the day he decided to enter the customs, Sanqin has already been determined."

"Whether it's Zhang Han, Sima Xin, and Dong Yi, these three are all second ministers of the Qin State, and the people of the Three Qins hate them to the bone."

"What I mean by this is that the people are very important. Even if the people in the land of the Three Qin Dynasty don't resist with Liu Ji, as long as they don't help and watch all this happen, no matter how fiercely Zhang Han resists, no matter how determined he is useless."

Someone told him this truth before, and he will talk about it today with all the ministers of the Song Dynasty.

It's not complicated, and it can even be said to be very simple. Basically, generals with a little level can realize it.

"Now, I have turned the army of the Song Dynasty into three Han soldiers, because, whether it is the Han army or the Yue army, if you choose these names yourself, it will be fine. If you do it... But, unfortunately, It was the people themselves who called it out."

The three privy envoys were sitting on pins and needles, their backs were like a thorn in their throats, they didn't expect that the military power would be handed over, but the emperor still couldn't forget about it.

Just the next moment, that inexplicable feeling completely disappeared again.

The emperor took out the jade talisman from his pocket, threw it on the table, and seemed to remember something, picked one up and went back.

They are so familiar with this thing, it's not a soldier talisman, what is it!
"Zhang Jun, Han Lao Wu, put away your own things. If you lose this thing, you will know what will happen."

The two people whose names were called, heard the words and quickly put them away... This is the official, this is...

"To tell you the truth, I've thought about it for a long time, and I get angry after looking at you guys. Why should I worry about this!"

"Return the things to you, what to do, you can figure it out yourself!"

The two of them were determined, as long as they could be generals, as long as they could bring their own soldiers... with the officials' soldiers, everything would be fine.

Only Yue Fei, after waiting for a long time, did not see the emperor expressing anything. Compared with the other two, he was an honest person after all, and felt a little restless.

It was Yue Yun who said: "Your Majesty! Don't make things difficult..."

Before he finished speaking, Yue Fei glared at him: "Where are you talking..."

Before he finished speaking, Liu Bang stared at him: "It's about to start again, isn't it?"

You have seen this unique bullying chain many times, and seeing it again now, I still can't help laughing.

After finishing the last mouthful of mung bean soup, Liu Bang took the soldier talisman into his hand and played with it between his fingers.

Seeing Yue Fei kept staring at this thing without blinking, he felt a little funny, and said:

"I'll ask you a question, and when you answer it, this thing will naturally be yours."

Yue Fei nodded and said: "If you ask the officials, I will tell you everything."

"Well..." Liu Bang nodded, "How many soldiers do you think I can lead?"

No one expected that the emperor would ask this question.

Zhao Ding and Hu Quan next to him seemed to have thought of something at the same time, and stopped them together:

"Officials, a gentleman should not stand under a dangerous wall, and a son of a rich man should not sit down. The generals will do the marching and fighting, you..."

Liu Bang looked at Hu Quan and motioned him not to move.

Then, he plucked another beard from his face, twisted it between his fingers, and blew it lightly, and it flew a long way.

"What I'm asking is Yue Fei, not you guys. No matter how much you dare to talk, one person will have [-]... [-] killing sticks."

Yue Pengju's answer was similar to those of these two, but he remembered what the emperor said just now, so he replied:
"Your Majesty was the Marshal of the Army and Horses worshiped by the Holy Emperor Xiaociyuan back then. If you talk about commanding the soldiers, Your Majesty should command the soldiers of the world; and the soldiers of the world are all your soldiers. The responsibility of the soldiers comes, and only you can command the soldiers of the world."

Liu Bang remained silent for a while, then handed the things to him.

"Actually, I know it well. Some people said before that I would be able to bring 10 people, but that is [-] people who are not afraid of death."

When everyone heard the emperor say this, they couldn't help slandering a few words in their hearts.

One hundred thousand soldiers and horses... The officials really treat war as a joke.

However, this is not the most surprising.

"If it were changed to the present, if the warriors of the Song Dynasty were like you, I think that the soldiers and horses in the world you mentioned may be really possible."

Before the emperor's words had time for everyone to chew carefully, they heard a 'bang', which startled everyone.

Liu Bang almost ran away. If he hadn't seen the faces of the people in front of him recover quickly, he really thought that something happened.

Then the sky flashed, and he was even more puzzled:

"This, what is this?"

Whenever the emperor loses common sense, everyone can remember that he has just recovered from his injury. At this time, Lu Zai said in a low voice:
"Officials, it's a fireworks trick."

Hearing that it was a trick, Liu Bang calmed down a little. At this time, he took everyone together and walked outside.

On the open space not far away, there were several shelves two or three poles high. On the top of the shelves were flowers and lanterns, connected with a few copper wires, and placed all the way to the ground.

On the other end, there are a few clay seats, like a stove. He saw with his own eyes that someone poured something into it, and then lit it...

The paper tube placed on the stove flew into the sky, and there was another 'bang', and then it exploded, scattered into many dots.

Damn, I've been emperor twice, and this is the first time I've seen such a thing!
He was horrified in his heart, and he was annoyed that he was too worried about the Song country, and he had never even seen this kind of treasure.

After the people under those shelves lit the fire, soon, those shelves looked like trees of fire, blooming with silver flowers again, and flickering from the top.

After all the stoves were lit, the sky over Lin'an City changed from night to day,

Song Guojun and ministers looked up and looked up, everyone's eyes...

There is light.
