Peerless Pirates

Li Hongniang sent Hu Qiang to deliver poppy seeds (the latest chapter of Xuanji Immortal Dao).

In this era, poppies were very rare. Song Zheng originally wanted to get a few poppies from Pang Wei, but when he mentioned this matter, Li Hongniang took over the matter. Song Zheng knew that she had a relationship with the palace and Pang Wei

I didn’t say anything more about the origin of the story.

Of course, Song Zheng would not tell Li Hongniang that he got this thing just to make opium. He only said that his mother, Mrs. Zhu, suffered from stomach cold, and she heard that this "Afurong" had miraculous effects on this. Li Hongniang did not doubt that he had

, and gave Song Zheng a few pills.

Early the next morning, Song Zheng returned to the Song Mansion, called Ming'er into the room, and took out the poppy seeds from his arms.

"What is this?" Ming'er curiously picked up one, twisted it twice, then put it under her nose and smelled it.

"This is the seed of aphrodisiac, we need to plant it." Song Zheng looked gloomy.

Ming'er was so panicked that she threw the seeds on the ground and looked at Song Zheng in surprise, "What are you doing with this?"

Song Zheng bent down to pick up the flower seeds and snorted coldly, "This thing is a treasure. I spent a lot of effort to get it. You only need to plant it and wait for it to bloom and bear fruit next year.

Plant the seeds, and we can harvest them the year after tomorrow."

Ming'er blinked her eyes, but didn't ask any more questions.

Poppies need to be sown in autumn before they can bloom and bear fruit in the second year. Now it is freezing cold and the season is missed. However, this does not trouble Song Zheng.

He asked Ming'er to find three larger clay pots, and collected the internal organs and bones from chickens and ducks that were usually killed in the house, buried them under the flower pots, filled them with fertile soil, and then planted the poppies. Song Zheng

I found a side room in Fengzhuyuan with a built-in charcoal fire to maintain room temperature. I placed three clay pots indoors to encourage them to germinate.

When Ming'er was in Songjiazhuang, she had grown medicinal herbs. As long as the poppies sprouted in the early stage, Ming'er could take care of the rest.

The matter of poppy took a long time, Song Zheng only looked at it occasionally and ignored it. However, Se'er was very interested in it. When he heard that the hibiscus flower was extremely beautiful, he was very excited and even more interested in it than Ming'er.

This period of time was surprisingly peaceful. After Song Zheng visited Huang Yuandu, Pang Hui and Pang Tong, he also became quiet. Monk Di Fei, who made Song Zheng extremely worried, did not have any unusual movements. He was only summoned twice by Huang Jiao. Usually, he was summoned by Huang Jiao twice.

They all stayed in Hongjue Temple, eating fast, chanting Buddha's name, and seemed to be practicing with peace of mind.

Due to the protection of the Forbidden Army and the tight security inside Hongjue Temple, Chi Hu did not find trouble with Di Fei. However, Song Zheng did not relax his vigilance and still told Ji Liancheng to keep a close watch and record those who came and went.

Song Zheng obeyed Huang Jiao's orders wholeheartedly, but he was never summoned by the little emperor. Although he was hired as a tutor in the palace and received two salaries, he could not even see the little emperor's face. Song Zheng vaguely guessed

The crux of the matter is that there is nothing you can do. As the saying goes, there is

He had to make a mistake. By joining the Imperial City Division, he could get Pang Hui's protection and recommendation, but it also made Huang Jiao suspicious. Although Tong Bing, another deputy commander of the Imperial City Division, tested him, but for some reason, he was late.

It was too late to see the little emperor. This made Song Zheng call Naihe.

Song Zheng couldn't get the answer, so he wasn't in a hurry. Maybe Huang Jiao was still waiting for her next performance (the latest chapter of Modern Xiaoyao Hegemony). He was too anxious to eat hot tofu, so Song Zheng ignored the matter. For now

, everyone was busy celebrating the New Year, and Song Zheng didn’t get much limelight. Apart from presiding over the Zhenzi team’s wrestling and gambling matches, he was also thinking about Panlong Sword.

Stick. Another important point of concern is the imperial newspaper. Song Zheng could not participate in the political battles in the court. However, through the imperial newspaper, Song Zheng still analyzed a lot of things. In addition, he obtained from Li Hongniang

With the intelligence information, Song Zheng's layout of Daqi's senior officials became clearer and clearer, but there were more and more doubts in his heart.

To solve these mysteries, the amount of information at hand was not enough. Song Zheng thought about it and thought of Wei Buzhou again.

On the twenty-fourth day of the twelfth lunar month, just after the New Year, Song Zheng came to Wei's house to visit.

The Wei family is a wealthy family. Although Wei Buzhou was removed from his position as the chief tutor of the Academy of Arts, his residence has not changed. It is in a large house near the south bank of the Qinhuai River. The house covers an area of ​​fifty or sixty acres, which can be called

It's a deep house compound.

Shortly after the gift was presented, the housekeeper went out to greet him in person. Song Zheng had been with him for a few days and became familiar with him. After exchanging pleasantries, he came to the main hall. Wei Buzhou happened to be at home. According to his personality, he usually went out to visit friends during the day.

He discussed knowledge with some outdated officials and celebrities from big families, discussed government affairs, and rarely stayed at home. However, the Chinese New Year was coming, and Wei Buzhou also had to arrange some family affairs.

"Xiao Lang, come on, come on, you are a rare visitor. Is this your first time in my house?"

Song Zheng hurriedly bowed and saluted, and said with a smile, "I have been busy with my mundane affairs and have not had time to visit you. I hope you will forgive me!"

Wei Buzhou chuckled, let Song Zheng sit on the chair, and asked for tea. Wei Buzhou was different from Song Jue. Although both could be called great Confucians, Wei Buzhou had the demeanor of a famous scholar, reciting poems, making fun of the moon, and writing wine.

Wen Wen, although he abdicated, lived a very free and unrestrained life.

Not only are calligraphy and paintings hung in the living room, but there are also several exquisite bonsais. Although it is cold winter, they are still green. Song Zheng said, "Mr.'s home is really different. The living rooms in other homes are either magnificent or pretending to be ancient, but only

Sir, this place is elegant and fresh, comfortable and comfortable, and your style is something that a kid should admire."

"Xiao Lang was laughed at. The old man is just an ordinary scholar. He wrote two sour poems and a few words in his spare time. How can he be called elegant? (Read the full text of Shu Sword Jue)."

Song Zheng joked, "Aren't you being too modest, sir? Do you have to say that you have to bow down and worship me?"

Wei Buzhou laughed loudly and tapped Song Zheng with his hand, "You are such a sharp tongue, you actually made fun of me!"

"You dare not!" Song Zheng pretended to be frightened and gave a hasty salute, making Wei Buzhou laugh heartily again.

After chatting for a while, Wei Buzhou said, "Xiao Lang is here today. If you have anything to do, just tell me directly. I don't believe you are here to chat with me, an old man."

"Since sir has asked, I will tell you straight away. I am here to beg sir."

Wei Buzhou said curiously, "Oh? You are a dignified martial arts champion and the commander of the imperial army. Your father is also the deputy chief instructor of the Academy of Arts and is well-known in the capital. Is there anything you can't solve?"

"Sir Mingjian, I'm here to borrow a book."

"Borrow a book?" Wei Buzhou had a look of surprise on his face, "I don't have anything else here, but there are a lot of books. I wonder what books you want to borrow?" Wei Buzhou has more than a lot of books, it can be called a

Bibliophile Song Zheng has long heard that there is a library in Wei's house, which collects many precious books, more than 10,000 volumes, including many unique and rare books.

"I would like to borrow a complete volume of "Records of Taizu". I wonder if sir, do you have it here?"

""Records of Taizu"?" Wei Buzhou opened his eyes wide, "Xiao Lang was right?"

Song Zheng shook his head and said, "I heard that when Emperor Gaozong, he had people collect materials and write the "Records of Taizu", which records the process of Taizu's founding of the country. The content is quite detailed. Since I have become an official, I want to know more about this.

I have something to do (the latest chapter of Ball Soul: Cantabile Years). I hope you can help me, sir."

"Have you found the wrong person, Xiao Lang? You should try to go to the secret pavilion in the palace, where all twenty volumes of the "Records of Taizu" are kept. I am a Confucian scholar, how can I have royal things at home?" Wei

Bu Zhou looked solemn.

Song Zheng also knew that he was being abrupt, so he immediately saluted and said, "Although I am not talented, I admire Taizu's reputation very much. I heard that Mr. Wang has a library at home, so I came to ask. If Mr. has any inconvenience, I naturally don't dare to force it."

.”

When Emperor Gaozong ordered the "Records of Taizu" to be compiled, there were two versions: the simplified and the traditional versions. The full version has twenty volumes and is hidden in the secret pavilion, while the simplified version only has less than one volume and has been circulated throughout the world. In Song Jue's collection, there are

A simplified version of the "Records of Taizu". It records some important events, but the words are not detailed, and almost all of them are eulogies. Song Zheng had already read it well, but he was very confused about many issues.

For example, Taizu crossed the river south to establish a country and a capital. According to the simplified version, "After hearing Taizu's reputation, people from the south of the Yangtze River rushed to invest in it, donating millions of silver to fund Taizu's expansion of Jiangning, and to mobilize troops to defend against foreign enemies.

Taizu was worried about the Northern invaders and was nostalgic for his homeland, so he ordered the Yanyun Sixteenth Bridge to be built on the Qinhuai River to express his ambition of recovery."

It is also said, "After Taizu established the country, he immediately sent Han Zhong to lead his army north to fight the enemy and finally drive them north of the Yellow River."

All these are very simple, making people only know the general outline, but not the reason. Now that Song Zheng wanted to understand the layout of Daqi, he wanted to find the root cause. The complete "Taizu Records" is undoubtedly a shortcut

.

Wei Buzhou was born in the Han Dynasty and was famous throughout the world at a young age. He was one of the main compilers of "Records of Taizu". When Song Zheng was chatting with Li Hongniang, he learned about the complete "Records of Taizu", so he found Wei Buzhou.

Bu Zhou, hoping to get something from him.

Wei Buzhou's expression changed. He had secretly hidden the complete "Records of Taizu", but he didn't dare to take it out now. At that time, Emperor Gaozong had issued a secret order that the complete "Records of Taizu" could only be obtained by the emperor.

Watch and read to appreciate the painstaking efforts of Taizu in establishing the country and learn the way to become an emperor.

Although Wei Buzhou had been friends with Song Zheng for many years, he also had deep feelings for Song Zheng. However, the matter was too important and he did not dare to show this book to Song Zheng (the latest chapter of the Book of Fighting Gods).

Song Zheng was not in a hurry and drank tea quietly, waiting for Wei Buzhou's reply.

After a full quarter of an hour, Wei Buzhou said, "I really don't have the complete "Records of Taizu", which disappoints Xiao Lang."

"Where is it? It's hard for me to force others to do it." Song Zheng's expression remained unchanged, "I just heard that Mr. has compiled this book, so I came here to ask. Since he didn't, I have no choice but to give up."

Wei Buzhou was a little embarrassed and hesitated for a moment before saying, "Although I don't have this book here, if you want to know anything, just ask me. I still remember some of the contents of the manuscript back then."

Song Zheng's heart moved and he knew that although Wei Buzhou would not lend him the manuscript, he did not mind telling him what he wanted to know orally. So Song Zheng cupped his fists and said, "Thank you very much, sir. How about

In this way, in the next few days, I will go to my house and listen to your teacher's teachings."

Wei Buzhou nodded slightly and his expression calmed down.

Song Zheng immediately took out the simplified version of "Records of Taizu" from his arms. There were many marks written on it, which were his doubts. Song Zheng pointed to the marks and asked Wei Buzhou for advice one by one.

For the next four days, Song Zheng would go to Wei Mansion every morning, and Wei Buzhou would dictate it, while Song Zheng would memorize it silently. Finally, Song Zheng had a thorough understanding of the history of the founding of Da Qi. From ancient times to the present, Song Zheng could be regarded as having a thorough understanding of Da Qi's political system.

The ins and outs of the story. Combined with the current situation of Da Qi, Song Zheng finally analyzed the source of the struggles and compromises between Da Qi's military, political parties, and the big families in the south and north of the Yangtze River.

The day before New Year's Eve, Song Zheng walked out of the Wei Mansion and let out a long breath. "I see, that's it!" Song Zheng laughed twice and walked away.~
