Chapter 152: Swearing on Tiangu Mountain, Li Fus Loss
At Haishi, the night has gradually become darker. Although it is summer now, when the days are long and the nights are short, the sky still becomes extremely dark at Haishi. Most people in Chengdu who have no entertainment activities get in early.
Under the covers, only the dignitaries were left, the lights were still on in the palace, and they were still having banquets and having fun...
And these are incomparable to ordinary people, and they may not know the fun in them. After all, they are busy with their immediate livelihood every day, and they still have to pay a lot of taxes every year. If there are no these taxes, how can the Shu Han organize it?
The army provides them with weapons, food, grass and other materials, but the emperor and the nobles do not have to worry about their livelihood. No matter how bad they are, they can enjoy themselves every day until the day they are destroyed by the enemy. If they are a little ambitious, they still have to fight for some higher-level desires.
struggle,
The dinner party at Taifu's Mansion was about to end at this time. Before the dinner started, Sima Zhao and Li Feng sat at separate tables. The dishes served by the maids were all the same. They were not as particular as those in the palace and did not let anyone taste the dishes.
, since Sima Yi had just recovered from illness, there were no singing and dancing arrangements. Li Feng could understand this. After all, people of their status did not lack singing and dancing to entertain them on weekdays, but wine and meat were indispensable.
On the table for both of them were Zhuge grilled fish (charcoal grilled fish), tofu, Sichuan jelly, steamed buns, a small pot each of cooked beef and mutton, and several plates of vegetarian dishes. It was already quite rich in this era.
The previous dishes also have their own origins.
Zhuge Grilled Fish was originally a grilled fish made by the Three Brothers. It is said that Liu, Guan, and Zhang became sworn brothers in Taoyuan and drank gluttonously! There was a cook named Zhang who was in charge of cooking. His specialty was charcoal grilled fish, which tasted great. Liu Bei was overjoyed and waved his knife.
The alliance said: "If you cook well, you should be credited with your first achievement." Later Liu Bei ascended the throne and designated grilled fish as the national dish of Shu!
This is where the grilled fish of the three sworn brothers came from. Later, because Zhuge Liang, the prime minister of the Shu Han Dynasty, loved this kind of grilled fish all his life and would have this dish in his daily banquets, the people also called it "Zhuge grilled fish". Therefore, the dignitaries of the Shu Kingdom
It is inevitable to follow the trend. Even the current banquets in the palace and the banquet hosted by General Fei Yi are indispensable for this dish. Over time, it has become a "special dish" of the Shu Kingdom. Even the banquets when the Soochow envoys come are also indispensable.
Only then was it served, which made these people who love fish in Soochow unable to stop. After all, Prime Minister Zhuge also lived in Jingzhou, which is close to Jiangdong, before he came out. The taste is somewhat similar.
Liu Bei attacked Xichuan and ordered Guan Yu to stay in Jingzhou. It was early summer and the weather was hot. The soldiers had no appetite, so they cooked with chili to maintain their strength. Soon after, the soldiers fell ill one after another due to internal fire. Before Guan Gong joined the army, he sold tofu for several years.
, knowing that tofu can reduce heat, he immediately asked someone to prepare soybeans and cooked it himself. The tofu was very tender, cool and delicious, and was very popular among the officers.
After that, Guan Yu selected a number of smart and capable soldiers, concentrated on learning to make tofu, and personally taught the mission. After a few days, all the soldiers ate this delicious tofu every day, and the soldiers' illnesses became better one by one. This dish has been passed down to this day.
At that time, there were two jelly shacks at the Zhongdu Wharf of the Jialing River, which were deeply loved by the surrounding people. Later, the two jelly shops got married and joined forces to create the Northern Sichuan jelly that has been passed down to this day.
Later, Zhang Fei passed by the dock and liked the jelly very much. He went back and told his eldest brother Liu Bei. From then on, the northern Sichuan jelly became a tribute to Liu Bei of the Shu Kingdom.
In the autumn of the third year after the founding of the Shu Han Dynasty, Zhuge Liang adopted a psychological warfare and captured Meng Huo seven times. After establishing good relations with the ethnic minorities in the southwest, he returned to the dynasty. Speaking of the rebellion in the south of the Shu Kingdom, it was related to Li Feng's father Li Yan.
Because of these relationships, when he saw the steamed buns here, he thought of his father who died in depression...
In the twenty-fifth year of Jian'an, Yong Kai heard that Liu Bei passed away in Yong'an, so he became even more arrogant and unruly. The governor Li Yan wrote a six-page letter to Yong Kai, explaining to Yong Kai how serious the situation had changed, but Yong Kai
He only responded to the letter on a piece of paper, saying: "I heard that there are no two days in the sky and no two masters in the country. Now the world is in a state of unity, but there are three different calendars in use. Therefore, people in remote places are deeply confused and don't know where to go.
."
He was so arrogant and rebellious, and his father's letter also fueled his arrogance. It showed him the weakness of the Shu Han after the late emperor Liu Bei was defeated in the attack on Wu and died of illness. It made him feel that the chance of successful rebellion was quite high.
Yong Kai, a local tycoon in Yizhou County, killed the prefect Zheng'ang and asked for surrender to the state of Wu through Tu Xie and Bu Zhi, the prefects of Wu Jiaozhi. Unexpectedly, the court appointed Zhang Yi as the prefect of Yizhou and went straight to the county to take up the post. Yong Kai therefore
Unconvinced, he used the ghost religion to encourage people and said: "Zhang Fujun is like a gourd. Although it is bright on the outside, it is actually very rough on the inside. It is not worth killing him. He ordered him to be bound and sent to the state of Wu." So Zhang Yi was escorted away.
To Sun Quan. Later, the state of Wu appointed Yong Kai as the prefect of Yongchang.
Yongchang is located in the west of Yizhou area, and the roads are blocked and isolated from Shu County. The prefect of the county changed people. Lu Kai and Wang and his wife from Shu County in Fucheng led and encouraged the officials and people to close the four borders to resist Yong Kai.
Yong Kai issued several messages to Yongchang to persuade Lu Kai.
Lu Kai replied to his message: "The sky has brought chaos, traitors have taken advantage of the situation, the world has been filled with hatred, and all nations have mourned. All the subjects, young and old, have tried their best to eliminate the national calamity. I think that your family, general, has been favored by the Han Dynasty for generations.
, I thought you should personally recruit people, take the lead in action, and repay the country's kindness; live up to your ancestors, and take credit for your achievements and leave your name in the annals of history for thousands of years. Who would have thought that you would surrender to Soochow and betray your roots?
! In the past, Shun worked diligently for the people and died in the land of Cangwu. Historical records praised him and his reputation lasted forever. He was buried in the south of the Yangtze River, how sad! King Wen of Zhou and King Wu of Zhou accepted the destiny, and they did not achieve great success until they became kings. The late Emperor Longxing
When the Han Dynasty was established, people from all over the world watched the wind and surrendered, the courtiers were smart, and heaven sent health and well-being. But as a general, you can't see the records of ups and downs, the signs of success or failure. For example, if a wildfire ignites a prairie, or a person walks on a glacier, once the fire is extinguished and the ice disappears, what else can you rely on?
In the past, your late father, General Yonghou, had a grudge against the Han Dynasty and was granted a title by the Han Dynasty. Dou Rong knew that the Eastern Han Dynasty was about to rise, so he surrendered to the ancestors. This made him famous for future generations and was praised by generations. Today, Prime Minister Zhuge is extremely talented.
, knowing the beginning of things before they happen, accepting the heavy responsibility entrusted to me by my late master, assisting the prosperity of the Shu Han Dynasty, getting along with everyone without favoritism or taboo, rewarding achievements without thinking of small mistakes. General, if you can wake up and change your ways, it will not be difficult to get back on the right path.
Following the example of the ancients, how can you manage this small area of Yongchang? I heard that the Chu State was disrespectful to the Zhou Dynasty, and Duke Huan of Qi justly reprimanded him.
Lord, who is willing to submit to you? I personally think about the righteousness of the ancients, and those who serve as ministers will not interact with people outside the country, so I have no contact with you before and after. I received your message again, and I expressed it angrily.
General, please think carefully about what you are thinking." Lu Kai's kindness and prestige are known to the whole county, so people in the county trust him, so he can preserve his reputation.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Yong Kai could not enter the city, so he sent Meng Huo, a fellow county man, to confuse and incite the Yi people in various places to follow him in rebellion. Originally, the Yi people in Yizhou County did not intend to cause trouble with Yong Kai. Yes, but Yongkai sent Meng Huo, who was very influential among the Yi people, and he deceived the Yi people into preparing to expropriate resources that they could not afford. Only then did he persuade the Yi people. Zhu Bao, the governor of Ke, and the Yi people of Yue The clan chief Gaoding raised troops to respond to Yong Kai.
In the third year of Jianxing's reign, when Prime Minister Zhuge Liang went south to conquer Yongkai, the troops were still on the way, but Yongkai had already been tricked by Zhuge Liang to have Gaoding's general E Huan stab Kai at the foot of his horse with a halberd, and then cut off his head. , all the soldiers surrendered.
Meng Huo also followed Yong Kai in revolting against the Shu Han and incited the Yi people to rebel. Zhuge Liang, the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, went to Nanzhong to personally conquer the country and won hundreds of battles. Just when he was ready to withdraw his troops, Meng Huo, the leader of the Yi people in the south, gathered the defeated people. Skirmishers came to attack the Shu army.
Zhuge Liang and Meng Huo had always been respected by the local Yi and Han people, so he sent troops to attack Meng Huo and captured him in Pandong. Zhuge Liang accepted Ma Di's suggestion to join the army and pardoned Meng Huo in exchange for the support of the people in the southern part of Shu Han. Later, Nanzhong was pacified , Meng Huo returned to Chengdu with Zhuge Liang and served as the censor Zhongcheng. From then until Zhuge Liang's death, no one in the south of the Shu Han Dynasty dared to rebel again. After this incident, Zhuge Liang also became more distrustful of Li Yan, the guardian who indirectly provided intelligence for the rebellion. , The relationship between the two was not very good before this, and they did not deal with each other. After all, one is the leader of the Jingzhou faction and the other is the leader of the Yizhou local faction, and both have their own interest groups they represent... ...
The army marched to Lu River. It was the autumn of September. Suddenly the clouds gathered and a strong wind blew up. The soldiers could not cross, so they reported back to Kong Ming. Kong Ming then asked Meng Huo, who said: "There is a rampant god causing trouble in this water. Those who come and go must have to Sacrifice it.”
Kong Ming asked: "What should we use as sacrifices?" Huo said: "In the old days, because of the rampant gods causing trouble in the country, seven or forty-nine human heads, black cattle and white sheep were sacrificed to them. Naturally, the weather was calm and the seas were calm, and there was good harvest year after year."
Kongming said, "Now that the situation has been settled, how can I kill someone arbitrarily?" Then he went to the bank of Lu River to watch. As expected, he saw a strong wind blowing, and the waves were turbulent, and everyone was frightened.
Kong Ming was suspicious, so he called the chef to slaughter the cows and horses; mix the dough with it and shape it into a human head, with beef, mutton and other meat instead, and called it "steamed buns". It is said that this is how steamed buns came about, and later as society continued to develop. , closely combined with the needs of life and diet, gradually evolved into calling steamed buns filled with meat fillings "baozi". Looking at the steamed buns on the table, Li Feng strengthened his belief in forming an alliance with the Sima family for revenge... ........
Sima Zhao also noticed Li Feng's eyes staring at the steamed buns, and secretly rejoiced in his heart. He ordered Shu Yi to add steamed buns to the dishes at tonight's banquet just for this effect. The Sima clan is now in short supply of allies, let alone capable people. An ally who is determined to stand on the same boat as them is not very reliable if they are brought together by profit alone. Someone like Li Feng who has a flame of revenge in his heart is a more reliable ally. After all, his alliance with the Sima family is not just for profit. ,
But Zhong Changshi just wants power. If one day he sees that something is wrong, he will sell the Sima family to a new ally in the blink of an eye and make a pledge.
"Xuan Guo, I'm not satisfied with tonight's dishes. If so, I'll ask the kitchen to make some more of your favorite dishes?" Sima Zhao said with a smile,
"Brother Zishang, tonight's dishes are all very good, but I'm just reminded of some past events." Li Feng said sadly,
"But regarding my uncle's matter, Xuan Guo Xian brother, don't worry. Now that you and I have formed an alliance, your affairs are my affairs. I swear by the Tiangu Mountain in the northwest of here that if there is an opportunity in the future, my brother will definitely do it."
To help you avenge this, come, you and I have a drink first!" Sima Zhao held up the wine glass with a sincere face and said,
"In this way, I have thanked my elder brother for my father. If my elder brother can help me avenge this revenge, I will die nine times to repay him!" Li Feng happily raised his wine glass and drank the wine together with Sima Zhao. It was obvious that he
He believed in Sima Zhao's promise, but what can he do if he doesn't believe it now? People like Fei Yi, Jiang Wei and others were all promoted by Zhuge Liang. Zhuge Liang was kind to them, so it was impossible to help him.
For the descendants of Fang Geliang, the emperor? That is probably impossible. Liu Chan and Zhuge Liang can be regarded as having a father-son relationship. There is only one outsider, the Sima family. In order to win allies, it is not a big deal to offend the Zhuge family. After all, you want to be in power.
Many stumbling blocks need to be removed.
After the banquet in Sima's mansion, Sima Zhao, smelling of alcohol again, sent Li Feng staggeringly to the gate tower before returning to rest.
The dinner in the Jiaofang Hall in the palace was almost over. Liu Chan couldn't bear it as he watched the dancers dancing one by one and dripping with sweat. It was quite hard. After all, the dancer he had fallen in love with today was performing for him among them. "We're here today."
Come here, if you dance well, everyone will be rewarded, you can go down and have a rest." Liu Chan said with a smile, he was quite satisfied with the singing and dancing tonight, but mostly he was more satisfied with the beauties among them.
"Your Majesty, the dinner is over. I will go to the bedroom to take a bath and wait for Your Majesty." Zhang Qing bowed and then slowly walked to the back hall.
"You go down and have a rest. Since His Majesty has promised you a reward, someone will send it to Yuefu tomorrow." Huang Hao said calmly,
All the singers, dancers, and musicians bowed to each other and then slowly retreated out of the palace. As long as Li Fu still peeked at the steps of the palace from time to time among the crowd, he thought to himself, could it be that His Majesty just admired her?
Dancing skills, I have no other thoughts, but the look I saw when I looked at him just now was completely the man's greedy and possessive look. Could it be that I still didn't fly up the branch and die as a phoenix? I couldn't help but feel a little frustrated.
At this time, I secretly caught a glimpse of the minister who seemed to be whispering a few words in His Majesty's ear. Because he was too far away, his voice was weak, but he couldn't hear clearly what he said. His Majesty had a smile on his face and nodded.
Seemingly satisfied, Li Fu went back to Yuefu and lay down, but couldn't fall asleep as he tossed and turned, thinking about what he would do in the future if His Majesty really didn't like him...
