Chapter five hundred and sixty seventh Wuliangye
In this way, the water wine he improved was not just rice wine, but also re-touched other flavors, such as wine suitable for women, bayberry wine, etc.
After purification, the alcohol content of the wine can be much higher than that of these water wines during the Three Kingdoms period, and the taste is naturally much better than those water wines that cannot be called wine.
Liu Zheng never leaks this method of making wine, and only brews a little bit every year, which is specially used for people around him to drink. Zhou Cang, Gan Ning and others, who are addicted to alcohol, often come to Liu Zheng to ask for these wines.
Liu Zheng would only give them a little, unless they were rewarded as rewards on a happy day or even when they made military achievements.
Many times they even need money rewards to ask Liu Zheng for some wine.
"What's the name of this wine?"
Lu Bu only thought that the wine tasted good, but he didn't know what the wine was called. He was very curious and asked Liu Zheng.
When Lu Bu suddenly asked this, Liu Zheng was also stunned because he had not given the name of the wine before. When Lu Bu asked about it, he had no time to think of any name. He suddenly thought of the most famous wine in later generations and immediately answered.
"Wuliangye!"
"Wuliangye? A good name, is it made of five kinds of grains?"
As the saying goes, grains and grains are naturally clear. When he heard that Liu Zheng said it was Wuliangye, he immediately started to guess.
Liu Zheng didn't know how many kinds of food this water and wine were made of. Seeing that Lu Bu was curious, he didn't say much, but just agreed.
"Well, other people don't have this wine. Even I can brew a little bit in a year. If I hadn't appreciated Brother Fengxian's martial arts, I wouldn't have taken it out for him to drink it."
Liu Zheng deliberately raised the value of this wine.
When Lu Bu heard Liu Zheng's words like this, he felt a little proud. He was indeed quite confident in his strength, but he couldn't stand the praise of people like Liu Zheng. If you give more praise, Lu Bu was still a little fluttering.
No one can stand things like flattery.
Especially for people with higher status than you, I will be even more happy when I come to praise you. For example, if a third-rate martial artsman will praise Lu Bu for his high martial arts skills, Lu Bu may not think that there is anything, but if someone with a status like Liu Zheng will praise Lu Bu for his strong strength, Lu Bu will really feel that he is strong and a little proud.
After a glass of wine, the relationship between Liu Zheng and Lu Bu became much closer.
There are no enemies on the wine table.
Liu Zheng knew this truth well. After praising it, he continued to drink and Liu Zheng began to talk to Lu Bu on important matters.
"Brother Fengxian, how are you doing under Ding Yuan?"
"Ding Yuan treats me well and treats me like a son. I am not willing to surrender. The main reason is that I don't want to be enemies with him."
"Yes, after all, it's your boss. Brother, let me change the question. What do you think of the Han Dynasty?"
Liu Zheng originally wanted to start from Ding Yuan and asked Lu Bu if he didn't do well under Ding Yuan, otherwise why he had to kill Ding Yuan and Dong Zhuo in history.
However, when Lu Bu heard that Ding Yuan treats him like his own son, Liu Zheng knew that Lu Bu didn't hate Ding Yuan if he wanted to come.
Although historical theory says that Lu Bu surrendered to Dong Zhuo and killed Ding Yuan, Liu Zheng accidentally saw another version of the record from some unofficial history.
It is said that when Emperor Ling of Han passed away, Dong Zhuo and Ding Yuan's men all arrived in Luoyang.
Dong Zhuo was the governor of Bingzhou at that time, and Ding Yuanzhe was the governor of Bingzhou. The two of them were not in the process. In order to completely control the power of Luoyang, Dong Zhuo only needed to get rid of Ding Yuan. He sent Li Su to lobby Lu Bu, but was rejected by Lu Bu.
Dong Zhuo, who failed to make a plan, bribed the guards around Ding Yuan and pretended to write a letter from Lu Bu's affair with him. He deliberately let Ding Yuan know that when Ding Yuan summoned Lu Bu to confront him, the guards suddenly attacked and wanted to kill Ding Yuan and blamed Lu Bu.
Who knew that Lu Bu suddenly started to kill the guards, but Ding Yuan was still stabbed and his life was not long before he died. Before he died, Ding Yuan came up with a plan to let Lu Bu take his head to see Dong Zhuo, deceive Dong Zhuo's trust, and wait for an opportunity to kill Dong Zhuo.
Later, Dong Zhuo really died at the hands of Lu Bu.
As for whether this story is true or false, there is no way to verify it. Anyway, Liu Zheng couldn't see it because history has been rewritten by him, and Emperor Ling of Han has been dead for several years.
The famous Grand Tutor Dong Zhuo was afraid that he would never have the chance to become a Grand Tutor in his life, so he could only hide in Xiliang as his governor of Xiliang.
"The Han Dynasty has already reached its peak. If it weren't for the support of several respected veteran generals, it would have collapsed long ago."
The old generals Lu Bu mentioned were Ding Yuan, Lu Zhi, Dong Zhuo and others.
Without Ding Yuan, Lu Zhi and others, relying on He Miao himself, he would definitely not be able to suppress this chaotic uprising of the princes.
"The current court will inevitably perish because it will be ended by me. Brother Fengxian, you said that you were under Ding Yuan's hands and fought for the rest of your life. I am afraid that it is the position of Bingzhou Governor. Do you want to be the general in the court? Do you want to be a marquis and ministers?"
"How could a man be born between heaven and earth, so how could he have no idea? It's so difficult to just be a marquis and minister?"
"No, it is not difficult at all. To overthrow the rule of the Han Dynasty, we will re-establish order. In the future, I will be the emperor and you will be the general. How about it? Do you need to consider it?"
"Of course, you can also refuse. After you reject my proposal, I will not kill you. I will only leave you to stay with me for a few years. After I pacify the Han Dynasty, I will let you go back and be an ordinary citizen and live a life of mediocrity."
Liu Zheng said calmly, without being arrogant, without being emotional, and very dull, as if he was talking about something very ordinary.
If Lu Bu had known that Liu Zheng's ambition was not on the city tower before, he would have thought that Liu Zheng was crazy at this time.
"Are you really going to overthrow the big man?"
"What, Brother Fengxian thinks I can't do it?"
Lu Bu asked in confusion with a frown.
"If I had some doubts before, I've believed most of the time now."
Liu Jian raised the wine glass on the table and said with a smile again.
"If you have your joining Brother Fengxian, your strength, and my troops, why worry about not being able to seize the world?"
"But my foster father Ding Yuan..."
Lu Bu was already moved by Liu Zheng's words, but it was due to his adoptive father Ding Yuan.
Liu Zheng understood Lu Bu's worries and immediately spoke again.
