Chapter 592
Look at Qiaoyun in February and August.

Because of the high sea level, the sky in the northwest is even more breezy and cloudless, with clouds rolling in the sky, which is extraordinarily beautiful and moving.

Under this wide and beautiful sky, Lingzhou City also happily wakes up from its winter slumber. The trees are blooming with goose-yellow and tender green leaves, the water is clear and the wind is soft, with a scent that is intoxicating. .

Wang Hua looked at the three people in front of him, a little dumbfounded.

The scouts noticed Li Longji, but the other two did not report.

One is Wu Chongning, whom Wang Hua dared not reveal the relationship with, nor could he explain clearly.The other is Li Longji's concubine Wang Shi.

Wu Chongning came here, no doubt it was Princess Taiping's intention to add weight to Li Longji.

But looking at the little girl who has been looking at him since she came in, her eyes are full of spring, her charm is rippling, and she still has a very strong yearning, cold sweat broke out on Wang Hua's body.

Don't do bad things, don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door in the middle of the night.

Although Wang Hua couldn't be angry or laugh at Princess Taiping's actions, after all he had done something wrong, so he winked at Wu Chongning and stopped looking at Wu Chongning.

What this wink meant, Wang Hua himself didn't know.But Wu Chongning began to lower his head, caressing the delicate red peony dress wryly.

Li Longji hadn't noticed yet, but the Wang family next to Li Longji gave Wang Hua and Wu Chongning a meaningful look.

Princess Taiping and Princess Taiping did it very cleverly. Except for a few people who knew about it, even Li Dan thought that Wang Hua and Princess Taiping were still incompatible.When Wu Chongning was released this time, they thought it was Princess Taiping who used Wu Chongning's good relationship with Li Chiying when he was in the capital, and persuaded Li Chiying to help persuade him.

Then he suggested that Li Longji take the Wang family to Lingzhou together. After all, the Wang family is also a member of the Wang family in Taiyuan, and see if he can use this relationship to lure Wang Han.With the persuasion of Wang Han and Li Chiying, there is another layer of confidence.

But I just didn't think of the real reason.

But as a woman's intuition, seeing the expressions of Wang Hua and Wu Chongning, Wang still faintly sensed something.

But they didn't say anything, it was something, at least it was beneficial to them now, and they had an extra bargaining chip to persuade Wang Hua.

She was calculating the stakes, and Wang Hua also turned his attention to her.

In history, there were four women around Li Longji, and Concubine Yang was almost unknown to everyone.Another person related to Concubine Yang, Concubine Mei is also known by many people.But before them, there were two women, a woman similar to Wu Zetian Webster's copy, Concubine Wu Hui.There is another woman, a very sad queen, this is Wang.

According to her origin, she is also from the Wang family in Taiyuan, but she is not a direct descendant.

But this woman helped Li Longji the most.When she married Li Longji, Li Longji was still very young, that is, before Wang Hua entered Luoyang, the situation of Li Longji's family was not very good at that time, and their lives were often in danger.

When Li Longji celebrated his birthday, his family was in a difficult situation and he couldn't congratulate him.The situation of the Wang family is also not good. Although he was born in the Wang family in Taiyuan, because he is not a direct disciple, his family is in decline.Wang Renjiao, Wang's father, took off his own clothes, changed a bucket of noodles, made a soup cake, and had a poor but warm birthday for Li Longji.

With the invasion of Mochuo, Wu Zetian had to make Li Xian the crown prince, and Li Dan's control was loosened.It was only then that rewards gradually became available. Some people gave gifts and land was granted. That is, when Wang Hua was about to enter Luoyang, his family situation had just improved.

It's not the grace of soup cakes.In Li Longji's eradication of Webster and other matters, this Wang family mostly advises her husband.Moreover, this woman is virtuous and virtuous, and she has always been kind to the servants in the family and the women around Li Longji, and she has not monopolized the favor because of her merits.But because he had no children, he was discredited by Concubine Wu Hui and finally abolished.Three months after the abolition, I was depressed, and my brother was executed by Li Longji, and Wang died depressed.At that time, the poet Wang Jian even wrote Cuiyu Fu to satirize Li Longji's behavior because he couldn't understand Li Longji's mean and ungrateful behavior.

Thinking of this, Wang Hua couldn't help but think of another thing. Could it be that the Wang family in Taiyuan has enmity with the Wu family?Both queens were killed by the Wu family.

But I also thought of another side of Li Longji.

Wang Hua's voice became cold involuntarily: "My lord, did you come up with the answers to those two questions this time?"

Li Longji turned the imitation lacquer red chrysanthemum petal-shaped teacup in his hand.

This is a new kind of sacrificial red porcelain. At first Li Longji thought it was a sand bowl, but when he held it in his hand, he saw that there were no tiny blisters like the sand bowl. He thought it was painted with Fujian and Zhejiang red leather paint, but there was no such thing. Only when you see the lacquer pattern and hear the sound, you know that this is a new kind of porcelain.

Only then did I start to play with it. This new type of imitation lacquer red porcelain cup uses this kind of red glaze, which looks more antique.

However, he also knew that even though Wang Hua had transferred those large porcelain kilns in the south of the Yangtze River to [-] companies, Wang Hua still held a considerable share in the process of selling dog meat.Also because of the transmission of Wang Hua's technique, the new type of porcelain has never stopped in these years.Just like red porcelain, the assets of red glaze are not high at the beginning. After all, copper is used as the colorant, which requires higher technical requirements.Later, the success rate gradually increased, and a kind of ruby ​​red porcelain that was bright and gem-like began to appear.

But there is one thing that outsiders don't know. They didn't find bright red clay at first, so they had to use alum red on glaze instead of high-temperature copper red glaze. The quality is still very low.Until I found bright red soil, more glazes, and the control of high-temperature fired glazes, from ruby ​​red at the beginning, to cowpea red, carmine red, Lang red, and after Wang Hua left Luoyang, he came out again A kind of ox blood red, coral red.

Of course, these reds can be further subdivided, such as cowpea red, also known as Dahongpao, or Zhenghong. The price of each piece of this kind of Zhenghong porcelain is prohibitively high.Then there are spots of varying shades, known as beauties, or beauties.The lighter color is called baby face, peach blossom slice.The second color is lighter, or dark and turbid called suckling mouse skin or elm bark.The second ones with uneven gray and black are also called donkey liver and horse lung.There are also black burnt bubbles, which are defective products.Wang Hua did not choose a name.

Later, there were more and more types of red porcelain, and there were more and more names.Such as sacrificial red, blushing red, accumulated red, drunk red, chicken red, scarlet, bright red, bright red, smear red, rouge water, carmine, coral red, pink, beauty festival, peach blossom waves, peach blossom slices, begonia red, baby face , beauty face, light eggplant, kidney bean, Jun purple, eggplant skin purple, grape purple, rose purple, suckling mouse skin, persimmon red, bay red, orange red, alum red, turning red, lamb liver, meat red, pig liver, apple green , apple green (the latter two are transformed from red, so they are not considered green. In addition, there are many similarities between underglaze red and red glazed porcelain, but red glazed porcelain is mostly monochromatic porcelain, and underglaze red It is underglaze painting, mostly matched with blue and white, so it is not the same type of porcelain), etc.

After hearing these nouns, those with good deeds specially collected all kinds of red release porcelain and put them at home for appreciation.

However, there are some Zhenghong porcelains that are very difficult to fire. In later generations, there is also a saying that if you want to be poor, you should burn Langhong.That is to say, after a piece of Langhong porcelain was fired, the porcelain kiln was also exhausted.Because the failure rate is too high.Therefore, it costs a lot of money to collect a whole set of red glazed porcelain.

Because of the tricks in the middle, this kind of red-glazed porcelain arrived in Lingzhou before it was released, and was used first by Wang Hua.

Li Longji likes painting and dancing, and of course he also likes this kind of antique porcelain.However, he doesn't have a strong possessive desire now. When he heard Wang Hua's question, he immediately raised his head and replied, "Mr. Wang, I think there are many answers to your two questions, but I don't know what answer you have in mind." .”

Anyway, I can't answer it, so let's talk about it.

But he was still curious, and asked, "Boss Wang, I also think I have failed, can you tell Gu, what are those two answers?"

The time given by Wang Hua at that time was limited to April, but now it is the second month of the new year, August and September have passed.

Wang Hua shook his head and said: "The reason why I raised these two questions is for you to think about them. It's a pity that you didn't think about them carefully. And you must think that I made things difficult on purpose. Let me tell you, I am not making things difficult. Both questions are the key to the decline of the Tang Dynasty in the future. As for the answer, I will only tell you with actions, otherwise, even if I say it, you may not believe it. Or even if we did not believe it before we were alive, we may have to let you know Centuries of history to prove it."

The previous Xu said hit Li Longji's mind. Because he had no clue, Li Longji had the same idea in his heart as his father and Princess Taiping, thinking that Wang Hua was making things out of nothing.

But the latter proposition was too big, and Wang asked from the side: "Mr. Wang, you said we didn't think about it, but during this time, many of us have been thinking about these two questions. No matter whether we find it or not, Your statement is biased."

Looking at this poor woman, Wang Hua sighed in her heart, thinking, what are you arguing for?It may be very good for your husband to be the king of Linzi. As long as your husband becomes the emperor, you will feel better.

This sentence did not say, but said: "I think about it, not thinking about the answer, but whether I have the heart for this country and the people. I also talked about this question with the prince last time. As long as you have the heart for the country and the people People, if you put yourself behind the people, you will come up with the answer. In fact, although I said the limit is April, but now, if you find the answer, I may not be able to help you."

This is tantamount to nonsense.

Wang said disdainfully: "I admit that we can't find the answer, but I don't believe that His Highness Li Chongjun can find the answer."

"Princess, why did I give my son four months? It was because I planned to bring back His Royal Highness. This time is four months. In fact, it is equivalent to giving you a chance." Wang Hua did not intend to hide the truth from Li Longji and his wife. Even if he didn't say it, Li Longji and his son would guess that Li Chongjun was rescued by himself back then.

As for Li Chongjun defecting to Wang Hua, maybe it will be recorded in the history books later, but how true are the historical records?People will believe it, and historians will believe it, but at their level, they don't just look at the surface of things.

"I know what Manager Wang is thinking. What Manager Wang means is that if we figure out the answer, then the country will continue to be strong and the people will continue to have a good life. But if we can't figure it out, then Manager Wang will Control Prince Chongjun and implement your ideas, am I right?"

"Exactly." Wang Hua sighed again in his heart, this woman was not shrewd, but she put all her energy on her husband, that's why she lost so miserably in the fight with Concubine Wu Hui.

"But I still don't understand, since Director Wang has the answer. Why don't we tell it, and we can also implement it together with Director Wang to make this country strong and the people live a happy life. We have to find out the answer , to help each other. Or control the prince and execute it yourself?"

"As I said about the second question, I have an answer and a solution in my mind. But I haven't found a solution to the first question yet," Wang Hua said.To weaken the imperial power, the power must be delegated to ministers.But this decentralization must also disperse power, otherwise once one or two ministers are formed to lead, they will have the idea of ​​usurping the throne.But after they were dispersed, they constrained each other, and the issuance of government orders became a phenomenon of procrastination.

Wang Hua is thinking about how to have an efficient leadership team without concentration of power.Of course, don't talk about democracy or communism in this era.So he didn't plan to send troops to Chang'an until it was resolved.We have reached Chang'an, the new emperor is about to ascend the throne, and the policy is being implemented.I didn't even figure it out, where did the policy come from.

Only Zhu Dian and Mo Hegan knew about this matter.Similarly, they were helpless, but Mo Hegan said: "It was very difficult in the Tang Dynasty. If it was in Oceania, there would be a way to solve it."

After all, Oceania was created from scratch, and you can paint whatever you want. However, after thousands of years of civilization in the Tang Dynasty, some ideas have been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and it is difficult to change.

Wang Hua also said: "It's impossible for a snake to have no head, but it's even more difficult to do it with two heads. If it's Prince Chongjun, he can control it for me because of his talent. But if it's changed to the son, because the son is smart and capable, he also has his own independent ideas. I just said that the prince may not listen. I can force the prince, but I can't force the prince. Let me say another bad word, Your Highness, if I help you, within ten years, you will think highly of me, or you will pay me back. You will agree to my marriage with the little princess. But after ten years, you will be more mature and powerful. If I don't leave the Tang Dynasty, nine times out of ten, I will die."

At that time, even my own life will be lost, let alone the implementation of policies.Besides, the policy itself is to weaken the imperial power.With Li Longji's great talent and strategy, if he is in power, how could he allow himself to weaken his imperial power.So Wang Hua said again and again, let Li Longji think about it.It would be easy if he recognized the problem himself.But this hope is in vain.

"Director Wang, you underestimated Gu's capacity."

"Bug?" Wang Hua said with a sarcasm, "Will you believe that I will die a happy life? A few days ago, I was talking about Wei Sili with Mr. Zhu. Who was he before? Who is he now? People, they will change. For example, the Empress Dowager supported the common people, so that the common people could enter the court. This gave many common people a chance, and gave hope to the low-level people. This approach is very good. But son, do you have It is found that the more corrupt officials, most of them come from civilian backgrounds. Why is this? Although they were born poor, so that they know more about the sufferings of the people and have become good officials, but most of them are because of this poverty , so that they fall faster. The children of the family are officials, which makes the family stronger and the wealth inequality is more uneven. But because their family situation is good and there is no shortage of money, it is not easy to become corrupt officials. So people will change. "

Wang Hua didn't say it to death. Children from poor families have long been in charge of the family, and there are still many good officials who come from poor people.Known as the first scholar-bureaucrat in China, he was Fan Zhongyan of the Song Dynasty. He did not come from a rich family. It is precisely because of his poor life that he has created an extraordinary and noble personality.

But how many men are there who can't be promiscuous when they are rich, who can't be moved when they are poor, and who can't be subdued if they are mighty?Li Longji is definitely not.

But this time Li Longji brought Wang's, there is one advantage, Li Longji can't say it, Wang can say it because she is a woman.She said disdainfully again: "Director Wang, as you wish. But the crown prince is really willing to be your puppet?"

In fact, she still admired Wang Hua very much.

From the very beginning, he was just a poor boy who was forced to sell lacquerware in Luoyang to make a living. Then, as a young boy, he fought with the world's biggest forces, seven surnames and ten families, and resolved various problems repeatedly.Then, as a courtier, he fought against Wu Sansi and others.Since growing up all the way, there have been conflicts with almost all the major forces in the Tang Dynasty.In the end, he actually fought Webster directly.Even King Xiang and Princess Taiping didn't have the guts.

Up to now, he has escaped from Luoyang, but he has opened up a great new world in the northwest. He looks down on the imperial court, and even Webster controls the world, and he still gives him not three points, but six points and seven points.It is still difficult for Wang Hua to dominate the world now, but he can definitely control the world!This was born out of nothing.

Now let's say directly that it is outrageous to support the crown prince as a puppet, but no one thinks that this is not impossible.

But her words hit Wang Hua's sore spot.

Just about to settle accounts with them.

After "welcoming back" Li Chongjun, Wang Hua vacated a piece of land in Lingzhou, built a large mansion for him, and gave him a sum of money to allow him to open the mansion.

This is also forced.Since you want to support Li Chongjun, you must give him a certain amount of freedom and respect.

And if Webster was crusaded, the scale of the war would not be small, and the blood battalion alone would not work, even with artillery.The larger the place, the more dispersed the troops, so in the end, all the armies in the Central Plains had to come to join them, with the assistance of capable people and scholars from all sides to supplement talents and troops.

This must be in the name of Li Chongjun, and even tacitly agreed to let him recruit a group of talents.

But he relaxed, Li Chongjun's situation is easy to change, his nature is hard to change, and he is dissatisfied with his current status again.He began to recruit his cronies on a large scale to cultivate his own strength.And the hands are very long, unexpectedly found the generals of the blood battalion, did not dare to say clearly, only said what kind of high-ranking officials would be given if they sent troops to avenge Li Xian.Trying to win over the soldiers of the disintegrated blood battalion and let them work for Li Chongjun.

Wang Hua has been sitting on the sidelines watching each other with cold eyes. Li Chongjun's doing this is also a touchstone to see how the blood camp will react and how loyal they are to him.

But the generals didn't know what Wang Hua was thinking, and complained to Wang Hua one after another, saying that Li Chongjun didn't know what was good and what was wrong.

Not only was this Li Chongjun's idea, but among some of the staff Li Chongjun recruited, there were a few scribes who did not know whether they belonged to the king or Princess Taiping. .

Wang Hua said coldly: "Princess, don't forget that Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty is far more talented than the crown prince."

Known as Emperor Hundi of the Eastern Han Dynasty, he is nothing more than a spiritual offering.Actually wrong.After Dong Zhuo entered the capital, he talked with the elder Liu Bian. The young emperor was incoherent, but Han Xiandi was able to explain the whole story.At that time, Emperor Xian was only nine years old.In addition, Empress Dowager Dong, who raised Emperor Xian, had the same surname as Dong Zhuo, so Shao Shao was abolished and Xian was established.In the first year of Xingping, there were three assists and three droughts, and the price of grain was soaring. People in Chang'an city cannibalized people, and they offered the emperor's order to serve Yushi Houwen to cook porridge for disaster relief.But many people still starved to death. Emperor Xian suspected that Hou Wen had embezzled the public grain, so he sent someone to take five liters of rice and beans each, and cooked porridge in his own area. Afterwards, the Chang'an disaster victims finally got relief.I was only 14 years old!
It was Cao Cao who held the power alone, and Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty did not miss Shu as much as Liu Chan did. He secretly ordered Dong Guiren's father, Dong Cheng, to try to kill Cao Cao.Dong Chengsui conspired with Zuo General Liu Bei, Changshui Xiaowei Zhongji, General Wu Zilan, Wang Zifu, etc. As a result, the matter was revealed, Dong Cheng and others were all executed by Cao Cao, and the pregnant Dong Guiren was also strangled.Empress Fu was afraid of Cao Cao, so she wrote to her father Fu Wan, telling her about Cao Cao's cruelty and inhumanity, hoping that Fu Wan could follow Dong Cheng's example and eradicate powerful officials, but Fu Wan never dared to act.

Four years later, Empress Fu and Fu Wan's family were executed by Cao Cao. Cao Cao died, forcing Emperor Xian to abdicate the throne to him.He became Sanyo himself.

But after Emperor Xian arrived in Shanyang, he shared the worries with the people, plowed the vegetable gardens, helped the world and hung pots, and was deeply loved by the people.Therefore, the people respect Emperor Xian as an adult, and Empress Cao Jie as a beauty, and they are regarded as their parents.This is the origin of the Tang Dynasty's calling adults as fathers.Even in later generations, there are still many folks who call their father great and their mother beautiful.

The grandfather of Emperor Xian's son and daughter was Cao Cao, so the grandfather was called Wei Gong, and the grandmother was called Wei Po. This title was still used in Tang Dynasty.It was later transformed into grandparents.And today Jiaozuo Niang in Shanyang visited her son-in-law on the Dragon Boat Festival, because Cao Jie was under house arrest in Shanyang and could not go to the capital, but her mother, Empress Dowager Bian, could go to Shanyang City to see her second daughter Cao Jie at will, so Jiao Xin's custom was reversed .

In addition, in order to protect his children, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty asked his children to call him Uncle or Uncle after he was demoted to Shanyang. This title has been affected for more than 1000 years.

Because he had learned medical skills in Shanyang, he never charged for the Chinese herbal medicine dug from Yuntai Mountain. There was no charge for acupuncture, moxibustion, cupping, and scraping. Only the purchased medicine was charged at a discretionary cost.Out of gratitude to them, the common people followed the custom and became a custom. Jiaozuo folks respected the old Chinese medicine doctor very much, and respected them like a king. They could credit or owe Chinese herbal medicines, but they never countered the price. In rural areas, acupuncture and cupping were never charged. .This is also the reason why traditional Chinese medicine does not bargain, and acupuncture does not require money.

This emperor, if he hadn't encountered troubled times, and hadn't met such a heroic figure as Cao Cao, he would have been a wise emperor, far surpassing Li Chongjun's aptitude.

Wang Hua took out this character, meaning that even Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty failed, not to mention Li Chongjun's petty actions.

But Wang's face changed when she heard this, and she asked, "Do you want to learn from Cao Cao?"

"I intend to learn from Cao Cao. But it's not Cao Cao. After a few years, if my wish comes true, I will take the initiative to leave the court, and I plan to keep the royal family forever." But at this point, Wang Hua changed the subject, He said sharply: "There is one more thing, I will tell you today, immediately transfer your people away from the crown prince, otherwise don't blame me for killing Wushu!"
