In the afternoon of the same day, the emperor arrived in person.
I didn't say that I was here to attend a return banquet, but I just said that I came to visit my cousin. I also wanted to give the incense stick to the Pan Mansion's ancestral hall to replace my first wife, Pan, and report to the ancestors of the Pan family that there was a daughter in the Pan Mansion.
Simply put, it is to visit relatives.
In the main hall of Pan Mansion, the emperor was at the seat, Pan Weixi was with him, and Liu An was sitting at the bottom.
"Official family..."
The emperor stopped: "At home, you can call your uncle or uncle."
The emperor came in person and there should be good wine at the banquet.
Liu An personally held a jar: "My uncle, this is a treasure among the wine. Unfortunately, there is no kiln storage yet. If it is stored for three years, it will be a real good wine. This wine is made of five kinds of wine with five kinds of grains and blended in a special proportion. Please comment."
"Good wine." The emperor drank a small cup in one go.
Liu An came back with the situation: "My uncle, this wine is all imperial wine. It must not be given to me by my uncle, and it must not be drunk, and it must not be sold."
"good."
The emperor will settle the accounts.
The mirror was priceless. According to the results of the discussion between the queen and her cousin, there was no one selling mirrors over two inches on the market, only the royal reward. This item alone can save the royal family hundreds of thousands of dollars in one year.
The wine was strong, even if it was a small cup of three cents, the emperor felt a little red when he was persuaded by Liu An.
The emperor planned to ease up.
"An Ge'er, you said that the seven characters in Qingfulou are right, why did you think of it?"
Liu An replied: "Uncle, I was a little hungry in school that year. I wanted to go to the kitchen to find something to eat, but I saw a swallow's nest under the eaves of the kitchen. What I was thinking about was that the smoky swallows were so confusing. Later, after several modifications, I had these seven-character pairs. Unfortunately, my nephew was not knowledgeable enough, and I couldn't even get the second couplet."
The emperor was very happy to drink two more cups.
He was not sorry, either.
When Liu An said that he could not meet him, the emperor liked Liu An's innocence very much.
Liu An wanted to pour wine for the emperor, but the emperor took the wine pot, poured a glass for himself, and poured a glass for Liu An. Liu An quickly took two steps back, and this was a big gift. In Liu An's mind, what was the rhythm of the emperor pouring wine for himself?
In fact, this emperor is very good. The three emperors in the court have poured wine for themselves.
Seeing Liu An retreating and asking for a big gift, the emperor said, "I said, it's my uncle who is going home, and it's a family. Ling's girl is a bit willful, so An Ge'er is more considerate."
"Yes, she, she's pretty good."
Liu An didn't know how to praise him. Even if he slept together, he didn't know him very well.
The emperor smiled and pointed to the wine glass. Liu An quickly stepped forward to hold the wine glass. The emperor said at this time, "You uncle met you when you were a child. That year, my uncle was the King of Shou and was in charge of Kaifeng Mansion. That year, Ling Yatou was six years old. On the Lantern Festival, my uncle and Mr. Lu and others were traveling to the lanterns, so they took her with her."
Liu An doesn't have this memory, but his father Liu Lang said that he had solved the couple between Mr. Lu when he was seven years old.
What Liu An didn't remember was that Pan Ziling gave him a candied haws at that time.
"Come on, drink this cup and write a poem."
Liu An held the wine glass in both hands and began to ponder.
It's not difficult to ask him to make an accounting statement immediately.
It is difficult to write poetry.
But Liu An can copy it.
What Liu An is thinking about now is, which song to copy?
Have it!
Liu An drank the wine in the glass and opened his mouth and recited:
The east wind blooms thousands of flowers at night,
It blows down even more, and the stars are like rain.
BMW carts are full of fragrance.
The sound of the phoenix flute moves, the light of the jade pot turns,
A night of fish and dragon dance.
The moths and willows are golden wisps,
The smile is filled with fragrance.
He is searching for him thousands of times,
Looking back suddenly, the man is there,
The lights are dim.
Pan Weixi is a martial artist. He is literate, but he cannot reach the level of a scholar.
The emperor tasted it carefully.
"You pronounced this word in the wrong place, but it was done well."
The emperor means that you should read it to Ling'er, not here, but the lyrics are really good, the artistic conception is enough, and it is also in line with the events of that year.
That was the first encounter between Liu An and Pan Ziling. Ten years later, the two became husband and wife.
This should be a beautiful story in Bianliang City.
The emperor was very happy, and Liu An couldn't help but persuade him to drink.
When the emperor was obviously drunk, Liu An stepped forward and poured wine again
"My uncle, my nephew wants to say that things that can be solved with money are not a problem. Take the little Liao Kingdom for example. His annual total national output value is ten times higher than that of our Song Dynasty. Our Song Dynasty has money."
The emperor laughed.
The Emperor did have money in the Song Dynasty, the national treasury was abundant, and the people were very rich, so the emperor did not doubt this.
Liu An stood up and said, "Uncle, give my nephew a chance to make meritorious service, please."
Liu An used the word "Question".
It cannot be used for the emperor, but it is OK for the elders.
"How to make meritorious service?" The emperor's question was purely curious.
Liu An said, "My uncle, 300,000 guan, bought Lingzhou back. The poor people of Dangxiang people earned less than 300,000 guan a year. They bought it with money and lost Lingzhou again. My uncle can also tell the Empress in the Taimiao that in the hands of my uncle, we have not lost the city in the Song Dynasty."
The emperor was moved.
It is indeed a shame to lose territory not because of buying it back.
In the future, Taizu established the Song Dynasty and Taizong expanded his territory, but he lost it himself, what did his children and grandchildren think?
But can I buy it back?
It sounds a bit ridiculous.
But today I am happy. The emperor did not say that Liu An’s thoughts were ridiculous, just said:
"I really bought it back, only 300,000 yuan, not much."
The emperor was indeed rich and powerful. After Li Wen, the good prime minister, reformed and worked hard to govern, the GDP of the Song Dynasty rose rapidly over the years, and the national treasury was also quite rich.
Thirty-hundred thousand trump cards are not considered money in the eyes of the emperor.
The emperor was frugal because frugality was a virtue and was not wasted on his own expenses. It did not mean that he did not know how much money he had and how to spend these things.
Liu An immediately followed: "My uncle, there is a nephew in Sanjin to persuade me. Within two months, but then, my uncle will send some troops. If the negotiations are not good, they will not dare to hit me."
The emperor laughed heartily, thinking that no matter whether this matter is reliable or not, if Sanxiang really agrees, then the matter will be done: "Okay, if Sanxiang really agrees, I will transfer 30,000 imperial guards to you."
Although the emperor was a little drunk, he knew very well in his heart.
Some things are wrong and the cost is not much, but if you miss them, it will be a pity, and you will lose more. The longer the matter in Lingzhou is delayed, the smaller the chance you will get it back.
So, let Liu An give a try.
"Thank you uncle!"
"Do your Crystal Mirror work well. Do your Crystal Mirror work well. You must also be serious about learning. Go to the inner study every three days and your uncle will teach you."
