Hu Yan's expression froze, and he immediately said dissatisfied: "My lord, is this the emperor in your eyes?"

Sister Zheng glanced at her with a half-smile: "Isn't it? When are you usually so well-behaved and remember to send something to me? There is nothing to be courteous. It's either adultery or robbery."

A guilty conscience suddenly appeared on Hu Yan's fair and pretty face.

She said bluntly: "The emperor doesn't have any thoughts. I just sent something to my lord mother. It was Bai Su who begged my lord mother for something."

Sister Zheng gave her a funny look, then turned her head to look at Bai Su: "Bai Su...do you have anything to ask me?"

Bai Su looked at Hu Yun's "threatening" eyes, couldn't help but scratched his hair, and said helplessly, "I made something recently, and I want to present it to His Majesty."

When Sister Zheng heard what Bai Su said, her phoenix eyes suddenly showed a trace of surprise: "Since it is something from your hands, it must be extraordinary, let me see what it is."

As she said that, she opened the jar next to it. The jar was tightly sealed and looked like an extraordinary product. After opening it, a strong aroma of wine wafted out of it.

But what's inside is crystal clear, just like clear water, without the turbid color of wine at all, which looks very strange.

Sister Zheng's beautiful willow eyebrows frowned slightly, and a trace of suspicion flashed in her phoenix eyes: "Is this... wine?"

Hu Yan looked like offering treasures, and a trace of pride flashed across his pretty face: "Master, this wine is called Burning Knife, and I made it with Bai Su."

Bai Su looked at her dumbfounded, why was she accompanying him, she was just watching from the side.

"Oh, burning knives?"

Sister Zheng looked at the clear wine, a hint of surprise flashed in her phoenix eyes.

After pondering for a moment, she immediately raised her head and looked straight at Hu Tan. Hu Tan was a little embarrassed by that strange gaze.

Hu Yan tentatively asked in a low voice: "My lord, why are you looking at me like this? Is there something dirty on Huang'er's face?"

Sister Zheng said with a half-smile, "It's the first time I've seen this kind of wine. I don't know how it was made. How did you and Bai Su finish it together? Could it be that Bai Su was busy at the side, and you just watch it?" ?”

Bai Su nodded, and thought to himself: "As expected of Sister Zheng, she can see through Hu Tan's little thoughts."

Hu Tan blushed, and stammered, "Who... who said it, the name of this burning knife was given by the emperor, so I also have half of the credit."

Sister Zheng couldn't help but give her a blank look. She felt amused at the shameless daughter in front of her.

After pondering for a long time, she looked at Bai Su: "How to drink this wine, does it need to be boiled?"

Bai Su shook his head, and said: "You can drink this wine directly, but the taste is very strong. It's better to drink it with some appetizers. If you drink it alone, you will get drunk easily."

"What kind of wine in this world, I have never drunk, so what can be done with the strongest wine..."

Sister Zheng didn't pay too much attention, after all, alcohol in this era is generally low in alcohol.

Even the summer wine, which is known as strong wine, is less than [-] degrees, and you won't get drunk if you don't drink hundreds of glasses on weekdays.

She didn't pay too much attention to it, and drank a glass in one gulp. A hot feeling poured down her throat and flowed into her internal organs.

There was a burning feeling in her chest, and she couldn't help but hold her plump chest tightly.

The graceful and luxurious cheeks were flushed, and it took a long time for him to calm down.

Hu Yan looked at Sister Zheng's appearance, and couldn't help worrying: "My lord, you... are you okay?"

I remember that when she was in the workshop, she felt that her whole tongue was going to go numb just after drinking half a cup, but now that her mother drank a whole cup, she couldn't help but slap her just thinking about it. a shudder.

Sister Zheng let out a long breath from her vermilion lips, and said approvingly: "Guo...it really lives up to its name, it's like swallowing a burning knife, it's such a strong, fragrant wine, after drinking it, I feel warm all over my body Glad."

Bai Su looked at Sister Zheng's surprised expression, and explained with a smile: "The intensity of burning knives is almost seven or eight times that of ordinary wine. It is suitable for the cold and bitter north. In the cold winter, let's have a drink." , will soon make the whole body warm."

"Moreover, there are some wines with higher alcohol content, which can be used to clean the wound and prevent the wound from becoming infected and festering."

After listening to Bai Su's explanation, Sister Zheng's phoenix eyes lit up.

This is really a good thing.

After all, she has been hostage in Handan since she was a child, and she clearly knows how hard it is in this cold place when the weather is cold.

After having this wine, the land of Yanzhao, the Great Wall at the border, the soldiers outside the Great Wall, and the common people will all feel much more comfortable.

As for cleaning the wound, this is even more valuable.

You must know that since ancient times, many soldiers on the battlefield did not die from the enemy's arrows or swords, but died from untimely rescue and wound infection.

If there is this thing, at least the casualty rate of the army can be reduced by a few percent.

Thinking of this, Sister Zheng couldn't wait to ask: "What is the cost of this thing, and how long can it be stored?"

After pondering for a while, Bai Su said: "The method of making this wine is not complicated, and the cost per catty is less than ten renminbi. If you make your own wine, the cost will be even lower. As for storage, as long as it is tightly sealed, even if you put it in the After 34 years, it will not deteriorate in the slightest, and it will become more fragrant as it ages."

"Three...three 40 years!!!"

Sister Zheng froze for a moment, wondering if she had some auditory hallucinations.

It is not easy to keep this ordinary wine for a year or so.

In less than a few months, the taste has deteriorated.

But Bai Su's wine can be preserved for decades.

This... this is simply a fetish!

Seeing Sister Zheng's astonished gaze, Hu Yan immediately said triumphantly, "My lord, this drink can be used as a commodity, like silk, and sold to the grasslands, the Yuezhi Kingdom, in exchange for more cattle and sheep for the imperial court. horses."

Sister Zheng turned her phoenix eyes, as if she had thought of something: "So... You brought Bai Su here because you want to run the wine business?"

Hu Yan was suddenly a little nervous when Sister Zheng pierced his mind.

She hugged Sister Zheng's arm and said coquettishly: "My lord, the emperor is also doing this for the benefit of the court. Besides, Bai Su promised to help me. If the emperor is so poor, you can give me this business. "

Sister Zheng said helplessly: "That's all, that's all, as long as the court and the army are well supplied, the rest of the business will be given to you."

A look of joy suddenly appeared on Hu Yan's face: "Thank you, my lord."

After pondering for a while, Sister Zheng said, "Hu Tan, you step back first, I have something to talk to Bai Su about."

"This……"

Hu Yan was taken aback for a moment, and wanted to ask why, but faced Sister Zheng's stern gaze.

She had no choice but to nod, fearing that her mother would take away the business, she reluctantly gave Bai Su a look, and immediately walked out of the hall.

In a blink of an eye, only Sister Zheng and Bai Su were left in the hall.

Bai Su was also a little puzzled: "Your Majesty, why did you leave me alone?"

Sister Zheng raised her eyebrows, but she didn't answer, but looked straight at Bai Su: "I heard that Hu Tan has been running to your house recently and came back very late?"

The smile on Bai Su's face froze, and he said immediately: "This... Your Highness is very interested in delicate things, and I know a thing or two about mechanisms, so His Highness often comes here to play."

Sister Zheng bit her lower lip lightly, hesitated for a moment, and said: "Then... well, you are not married yet, if you are pregnant as a princess, it will violate the majesty of the royal family, so you...don't be too conceited. in a hurry."

Bai Su was taken aback for a moment, and gave Sister Zheng a weird look.

Why did she suddenly mention this?

After all, according to Daxia's law, a girl can get married at the age of 14. Now that Hu Tan is 16 years old, it's not a big deal.

Besides, getting married is just a matter of a word from the political sister, so why worry about it?

Sister Zheng's eyes faltered for a moment, and she subconsciously squeezed her slender white hands. She didn't know why she suddenly brought up this matter.

It seems that he thought of the taboo scene that violated morality in the dormitory a few days ago.

When she thought of her son-in-law, who was close to her, about to marry her daughter in front of her, and step into the bridal chamber, she felt a faint feeling of discomfort in her heart.

Although Bai Su didn't know why Sister Zheng said that, she still nodded her head honestly: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I am an honest man, and I will definitely not mess around."

Sister Zheng gave him a strange look, and said leisurely: "If you are an honest person, what happened to the scene in the dormitory that day?"

Facing Sister Zheng's gaze, Bai Su couldn't help turning his head guiltily and coughing.

Chapter 110 [-] I Turned Out to Be a Rebel!

Facing Sister Zheng's strange eyes, Bai Su couldn't help being a little embarrassed.

He coughed lightly, and argued, "There is no such thing as beauty in a thousand years. A beauty is beautiful if you look good. If a beauty as grand as His Majesty is right in front of you, if you don't have the slightest idea, it's no different from a stone."

"The reason why I forget myself is that I follow my heart."

Sister Zheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Looking at the whole world, you are the only one who can say such brazen words so frankly and seriously."

Bai Su said in embarrassment, "That's really thanks to Your Majesty for your approval."

"Okay, don't play that lip service in front of me. You have done a good job in this business." Sister Zheng praised.

Bai Su said with a smile: "As long as it can help His Majesty, as a loyal minister of Da Xia, I should do my best to be a good man."

Sister Zheng's slender eyebrows couldn't help but raise her eyebrows. These words obviously sounded good, but how could they be so harsh when put on him, a courtier who bullies the king and commits crimes.

She glanced at Bai Su with a strange expression, and said immediately: "You debated with the Confucianism represented by Fu Su in the court hall, and it was really good to win. Even Li Si, the prime minister, once praised you very much in front of me. Legalist style."

Bai Su thought of the Prime Minister Daxia who valued his status very much, and now he suddenly noticed him and praised him so much, this is not a good phenomenon.

After all, it is normal for someone to praise you and someone to scold you.

If besides Meng Tian, ​​generals like Wang Jian, and even civil servants in the court all praised him as a rookie, then it would be dangerous.

Compared with a frontal conflict, the most difficult thing to deal with is the murder without knowing the purpose behind the scenes.

With a thought, he said solemnly: "Your Majesty, I have little experience, but I have some cleverness. In terms of great wisdom, I am far from the prime minister."

This pair of righteous words seemed to be speaking the truth, if it were someone else, they might have gotten away with it.

Sister Zheng couldn't laugh or cry and said: "You, why don't you have a sense of sharpness at such a young age, on the contrary, you are like those old foxes in the imperial court, with a smooth tongue."

Bai Su said with a smile: "This man can bend and stretch, grow and shorten, thick and thin, too big to be strong, he will only hollow out his body, and the gains outweigh the losses."

Sister Zheng nodded: "If you have such an idea, then I can rest assured that there have been endless talented people since ancient times, but most of them only know how to show their sharpness and move forward, but they don't know how to take a step back and offend many people. "

"You can be so naughty, no matter how the situation changes in the future, you will always have a place in the court, and you will go further than Li Si and the others."

Bai Su said with a smile: "I am not interested in power, as long as I can stand by His Majesty's side, I will be satisfied."

Sister Zheng looked at Bai Su's serious eyes and graceful face, and couldn't help but blush.

She bit her lower lip lightly: "If you want to keep pace with me, the current you...is not enough."

Bai Su rolled his eyes, and said tentatively: "Your Majesty just said that it is not enough, not that it is impossible?"

A strange look flashed in Sister Zheng's phoenix eyes, she did not answer directly, but stared straight at the dancing candles in the distance.

After pondering for a long time, she said: "The ancient man-made characters, king, three horizontal lines and one vertical line, three horizontal lines refer to heaven, earth, and man, and one vertical line refers to a person who has penetrated heaven, earth, and man, then he is a king. Are you... have the confidence to do it?"

Bai Su rubbed his nose, and said: "As a king, with my lazy personality, I definitely can't do it, but it's not impossible to make achievements comparable to His Majesty's."

After all, Sister Zheng swept the six countries, unified China, created the system of prefectures and counties, unified weights and measures, books with the same text, cars with the same track, and all the land of the six countries in the world returned to Xianyang.

But he built private schools, used paper, popularized education, cultivated talents, opened up business channels, conducted trade, raised agriculture through business, and gathered all the talents and wealth of the world in Xianyang.

It is not impossible to compare the martial arts of Zheng Jie with the power of both talents in the world.

Sister Zheng looked at the confident Bai Su, and couldn't help being stunned for a moment with her beautiful face.

After a long time, she said: "Since you are so confident, how about a task I entrusted to you? If you do it, you can make a request to me. As long as it is not too much, I can satisfy you."

Bai Su thought about it, it was too much, how could it be too much?

He was worried that if he asked directly, sister Zheng would become angry with embarrassment, so he cupped his hands and said: "It is the duty of a humble minister to share the worries of the king."

After all, Sister Zheng, who has never let go of her mouth, has let go of her mouth at this time, and she should seize it at this time.

If the question is too straightforward and the mouth is completely sealed, it would be a big loss.

An empress with a strong personality and a mature mind like Sister Zheng is not like a young girl who will be swayed by a momentary emotion and promise something.

A sister like Yu Zheng can't be forced, she needs to soften her attitude step by step.

Sister Zheng said with a half-smile, "This is not easy to do."

Bai Su said with a smile: "As long as I can relieve His Majesty's worries, I am willing to give it a try."

After pondering for a while, Sister Zheng said: "When I went to Handan in the past, I was assassinated by a group of survivors from the six kingdoms. Most of them were taken as substitutes and were wiped out one after another. Only one remnant escaped."

"I have sent people to search for the whereabouts, but there is no trace of it, as if it disappeared out of thin air in Handan."

"Afterwards, when the army was attacking the Xiongnu in the north, from the center of Chu to the whole world, rumors began to spread that there was blood at the city gate, that it was sunk into a lake, that Afang and Afang, and the death of the First Emperor."

"Obviously, there are remnants of the Six Kingdoms who are trying to disturb the hearts of the people when our army is heading north, and take the opportunity to plan something in the Central Plains."

"I don't know where these survivors from the Six Nations came from. With so much money, rumors spread half the world in such a short period of time."

"Afterwards, when the army returned from victory, many chaos gradually disappeared, and they were hidden again, as if they were waiting for the next opportunity."
