The videos I watched became popular in ancient times

Chapter 44 Liu An, King of Huainan

After Su Chen finished watching the yuba video, the next recommendation was the tofu video.

When Ying Zheng saw this, his eyes immediately lit up, and he immediately asked someone to prepare to record the making process of tofu.

Just now he was regretting that he didn't have a method to make tofu, but now he is here.

[Huainan is the birthplace of tofu and the hometown of ancient Chu culture. #Huainan#Tofu#Traditional Culture】

[It is a city that takes tofu to its extreme. A piece of tofu can make 108 dishes, and it is praised as a surprise in the ordinary. This is the origin of Chinese tofu - Huainan]

[In 164 BC, Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty canonized Liu An as King of Huainan. After all, Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty still cared about the fraternal relationship, so he took good care of his nephews. Liu An may have understood this a long time ago, so he has always been cautious and stayed away from political disputes as much as possible. Instead, he devoted himself to studying Taoism and became obsessed with the art of immortality. 】

[In order to obtain a panacea, magicians were specially summoned to refine elixirs in Bagong Mountain. They used the clear springs in the mountains to grind bean juice and use the bean juice to cultivate elixir seedlings. Unexpectedly, the elixir was not refined, resulting in a chemical reaction between the bean juice, gypsum, and salt, forming a fresh and tender elixir. Something soft and smooth, and this is the prototype of tofu. 】

[Someone had the courage to taste some, and it was delicious. After Liu An heard about it, he and the alchemists conducted further experiments and finally made the soy milk solidify into one piece. They gave this kind of thing a nice name, tofu. Since then, tofu has been widely spread among the people, and Liu An has inadvertently become the ancestor of tofu. 】

"Huainan tofu is famous all over the world, and the tofu banquet is a unique one, praised at all times and at home and abroad"

"Beans are indeed a good thing and will never expire. Stir-fry meat with tender beans, stew meat with old beans, grind beans and drink soy milk, add lime to eat tofu brain, eat tofu after pressing water, eat dried tofu after air-drying, and eat it if it has been stored for a long time. Stinky Tofu》

"The salted tofu is harder than the northern tofu, and the authentic tofu we grew up eating is softer and more tender."

"Thank you to Huainan King Liu An, I really like tofu"

"Liu An was the first practitioner to try a hot air balloon into the sky"

"One of the Rebels of the Western Han Dynasty—Huainan King Liu An"

"One person attained the Tao, chickens and dogs ascended to heaven, that is Liu An, King of Huainan"

"It's a pity for the King of Huainan. In his later years, he wanted to rebel and ascend to the throne, but his intelligence was limited. He committed suicide after being accused."

Great Qin.

Ying Zheng somewhat admired Liu An's luck, as he accidentally invented tofu during the process of refining alchemy.

It's all about alchemy, so why doesn't he have such good luck?
  However, he no longer struggled with refining elixirs. Since later generations said that elixirs were poisonous and that he had damaged his body by eating elixirs, which led to his premature death, he stopped refining elixirs.

After getting the method of making tofu, he asked people to test the tofu according to the method on the marquee.

Although the specific process of making tofu is not explained in detail, you know that gypsum and salt are needed in the making of tofu, and you can make tofu as long as you experiment a few times.

Big man.

Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty felt very regretful when he saw Liu An's final outcome.

He shouldn't have cared about brotherhood and canonized Liu An as King of Huainan. He didn't expect that Liu An would dare to rebel. He really made a mistake.

Although it was Liu An who rebelled in his later years and he was no longer alive at that time, his anger could not be extinguished.

He was extremely benevolent to Liu An, but he never expected that this would be the final result.

After thinking for a moment, he felt that it would be more appropriate to depose Liu An from the Huainan throne.

Although Huainan King Liu An failed in his rebellion and committed suicide, he could not remain indifferent and treat it as invisible.

"Here comes Liu An, King of Huainan."

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che originally watched with great interest, after all, his uncle Liu An went up to the sky to win glory for the Han Dynasty.

But seeing the comments of later generations on Liu An, he couldn't help but sneer again and again.

He actually rebelled, so he didn't notice it!

When he heard that Liu An was pursuing the art of alchemy, he didn't take it seriously. As long as the emperor didn't cause trouble, he could just go with the emperor in alchemy!
  I didn’t expect that! Refining alchemy is fake, but secretly planning a rebellion is real. After all, it is impossible to rebel just because you want to rebel. There must be a long-term preparation process.

He couldn't help but guess that the emperor's uncle was asking for immortality at this moment, most likely to cover up and secretly plot the rebellion.

Although the emperor's uncle was eventually accused of committing suicide, rebellion is rebellion and there is nothing to argue with.

Even if the emperor's uncle rebelled in his later years and may not have any thoughts of rebellion now, the emperor's uncle's rebellion is a fact and cannot be easily spared.

"Here comes Liu An, King of Huainan."

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt that something was wrong. It would be difficult if the emperor's uncle jumped over the wall in a hurry.

After all, the emperor's uncle already knew that he had rebelled in his later years, and it was very possible that he would jump over the wall out of fear.

"Wei Qing!"

"Chen is here!"

Wei Qing on the side immediately took a step forward, waiting for orders.

"Send a large army to escort Huainan King Liu An here. If he dares to make any move, take action directly and show no mercy."

After Wei Qing received the order, he retreated directly to the military camp to mobilize troops.

Liu An, who was in Huainan Kingdom at the moment, was pale and frightened.

Originally, when he saw the Tianmu explaining the process of his invention of tofu, he looked proud. After all, it was something to be proud of that Liu An's name would be passed down to future generations.

But when he saw later generations saying that he failed in his rebellion and committed suicide in his later years, he was completely frightened.

He never expected such an ending, and he even wondered if he had seen it wrong.

How could he rebel? He had no idea of ​​rebellion at all.

He was even afraid of arousing the emperor's suspicion, so he chose to stay away from political disputes and devote himself to Taoism and alchemy.

But why the result was still like this, he couldn't figure it out even if he thought about it.

He really wanted to ask himself in his later years why he couldn't think of rebelling.

I am already in my old age. I don’t want to enjoy my old age well, but I choose to rebel. What on earth do I think?

But now is not the time to think about this, let’s think about how to get through the disaster in front of us!

Your Majesty must have also seen the information about his rebellion in his later years, so he might be sending troops to arrest him!
  When he thought of this terrible result, he suddenly panicked and didn't know what to do.

Run, run far away, to a place where His Majesty cannot be found.

"Father, for the present plan, we should go to Your Majesty to apologize and beg for His Majesty's forgiveness. Only in this way can we get His Majesty's forgiveness and spare our family."

His beloved daughter Liu Ling beside him actively offered advice to King Liu An of Huainan.

The world is so big, no matter where I can go, I might as well take the initiative to admit my mistakes and kneel down to beg His Majesty for forgiveness.

Liu An hesitated, "Daughter, is this method really effective?"

"Besides this, there is no other way. As long as my father admits his mistake sincerely, there is still a chance of gaining His Majesty's forgiveness."

When Liu An heard this, his face was tangled for a moment, and he finally decided to believe his daughter.
