Great fusion of heaven and earth

Chapter 16 He Heiliu

Fan Building, located in Jingmingfang outside Donghuamen, the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty, has three floors facing each other and five floors facing each other.Among them, the inner west building can see the imperial city, so it is not open to the public.It can accommodate more than a thousand people to eat at the same time.

According to folklore, this building was built by Yu Hao, a skilled craftsman who was hailed as "one woodworker since the Guo Dynasty" and presided over the construction of the Kaifeng Iron Tower by the Song people.

Fanlou is not only a business restaurant, but also an important wine-making workshop.In the Song Dynasty, the eating places lining the streets and alleys of Tokyo were roughly divided into "Zhengdian" and "Jiaodian". The large-scale ones with the right to sell alcohol were called Zhengdians, and vice versa.There are thousands of big and small stores in Tokyo, but there are only 72 genuine stores.According to the book "Tokyo Menghualu" written by Meng Yuanlao from the Song Dynasty, which recounted the urban style of Kaifeng, the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty, Fanlou is the most prominent one of the 72 genuine stores.Fanlou's own wines include Meishou and Hezhi.

Fanlou is famous all over the world, not only because of its wine and architecture, but also because of the geisha that haunt it.The geisha in Fanlou are even more beautiful and are famous all over the world.They either chanted and sang, or danced, accompanying the customers, making them linger.Among the many geisha, the most famous is Li Shishi.Song Dynasty scholar Liu Zihui wrote a poem on the day: "Liangyuan sings and dances in a romantic way, and the wine is like a knife to relieve the sorrow of spring. I remember the joyful things of my youth, and the lights go up to Fanlou in the middle of the night."

"Fan Lou, it's in your Pan family's hands now." She Taijun narrowed his eyes.

"Why, old lady, are you afraid that you will destroy Fanlou?" Pan Weizheng said.

"The old man is dying, what's there to be afraid of." She Taijun said, "I'm afraid that your Pan family will not bear it."

"The Pan family has nothing to give up." Pan Weizheng said

"If you're willing, then let's go." She Taijun took the dragon head crutches, "Exhaust wind, bring [-] family soldiers with me, and the others are good to look after the house."

She Taijun got into the carriage, "Eunuch Li, Lord Kou, let's get on the carriage together."

Li Kou and the two were not hypocritical, so they got into the carriage.

"Let's go, Jingmingfang outside Donghuamen." She Taijun said.

"Okay, let's go." Pan Weizheng got on his horse and walked beside the car.

"Eunuch Li, who is that Liao spy?"

"Master Pan, you are the head of Wu Desi, let's talk about it. Li Wen closed his eyes and rested, "The old man is getting old. "

"Wang Qiang." Pan Weizheng said a name that surprised She Taijun.

"That's a political matter." She Taijun looked confused, "Why?"

"32 years ago, his name was not Wang Qiang." Kou Zhun interjected, "His name was He Heilu."

"That Liao's civil and military champion He Heilu." She Taijun asked.

Everyone nodded and did not speak.

"Only today, who will be in Fanlou?" Kou Zhun asked.

"Today, Xiao Tuyu, the former envoy of the Liao Kingdom, takes over the new envoy Yelu Angkor." Pan Weizheng said.

"Then why did Wang Qiang go to Fanlou?"

"Wang Dingguo wants to be in power," Li Wen replied.

"Although Wang Qinruo is very intelligent, he is treacherous and dangerous and cannot be reused." Kou Zhun said.

"Wang Qinruo invited Wang Qiang to a banquet, Ding said two people." Pan Weizheng continued.

"Ding Yu, hey." Kou Zhun sighed.

Why did you sigh when you came to Kou Zhun, Ding said that to be a Jinshi, Kou Zhun is the chief examiner.Ding said that he was knowledgeable, clever and witty, but he was cunning and cunning, so he was "the world's eyes as treacherous"; people called him "five ghosts" together with Wang Qinruo, Lin Te, Chen Pengnian, and Liu Chenggui.

"When can I arrive at Fanlou?" She Taijun asked.

"Come on, there are already [-] Imperial Guards hiding in the Fan Building." Pan Weizheng was confident, "Qilang and I have taken [-] strong crossbows, and Wang Qiang can't escape."

"I will call Wang Qinruo, Ding Wei and Wang Qiang." Kou Zhun said.

"What about Xiao Tuyu and Yelu Angkor?" Pan Weizheng asked.

"The Liao envoy is new, and the old man slaughtered a civil and military champion of the Liao country to express his condolences." Kou Zhun sneered.

All the way without incident, came to Fanlou.

Arriving at the entrance of Fanlou, Pan Weizheng and Yang Yansi dismounted, and supported She Taijun and Kou Zhun, and immediately after they got off the car, they were wearing square top scarves and purple shirts. The servant with silk shoes and socks came to meet him.

Yang Yansi and She Taijun led the troops to wait outside, and the old god Li Wen was sitting in the car.

"The individual guests in the adult building are all pretending to be the Imperial City Division." The servant said with his hands up. "Only the officials and high-profile guests in the wine pavilion are left, and they dare not act rashly."

"Yeah." Pan Weizheng nodded, "Well done."

Pan Weizheng and Kou Zhun walked into Fanlou together.

Entering Fanlou is a wide and straight main corridor about a hundred paces long, and the singers, who are dressed in bright clothes, around the fat and swallows, are sitting on the main corridor about a hundred paces long, singing and dancing.

After passing the main corridor to the hall, there are dozens of people who are playing flute, playing Ruan, singing and juggling.

"Fan Lou Jingsheng is the same as before." Kou Zhun sighed, "I don't know if it will be so magnificent after today."

"Reward." Kou Zhun said to Pan Weizheng, "Reward in the name of this official to let everyone know that this official is here."

"Okay, Ping Zhangshi from Tongzhong Shumen, and Kou Zhun, a great scholar of Jixian Palace, will give you ten thousand money." Pan Weizheng had a lot of copper coins thrown out. . .

"Yeah." Seeing that everyone in the wine pavilion came out and took a look at himself, Kou Zhun held up a large bowl of wine, "The official family gave birth to a dragon child and the people are happy, this official toasts you all, today Fan Lou has spent all his money. It is the official's, and everyone will not go home if they are not drunk."

After saying that, he drank the wine, which was very heroic.The guests on the third and fourth floors all applauded.

"The drinker, is it Duke Kou of Shanggu?" A young Khitan man with three small beards and straight hair came out of the wine pavilion on the third floor and walked in front of Kou Zhun.

"Who are you?" Kou Zhun drank another bowl of wine.

"This is the new Liao envoy Yelu Angkor." Pan Weizheng introduced.

"Maybe drinking." Kou Zhun asked, raising his bowl.

"I can't ask for it." Yelu Angkor also drank a large bowl of wine.

"Okay, only drinking today, nothing else." Kou Zhun drank another bowl of wine.

"Kou Gong." Wang Qinruo and Ding Wei also came out of the wine pavilion and came to Kou Zhun.

"Oh, it's Ding Guohe, who is called to drink with me." Kou Zhun grabbed the two of them.

"Kou Gong's drinking power is amazing, I'm ashamed of myself." The two did not dare to drink more, each only drank a small cup, and repeatedly begged for mercy.

"Wang Qiang is still in the pavilion. He has a good alcohol capacity and can accompany Kou Gong to drink." The two said that Wang Qiang was here and could accompany Kou Zhun to drink.

"Then tell him to come out quickly and drink with me."

"Brother Wang, Duke Kou wants to invite you to drink." Wang Qinruo and Ding Wei shouted.

"Kou Gong, I'll accompany you to drink." Wang Qiang came out of the wine pavilion with a bowl of wine.

"Mr. Kou, the lower-ranking official is the first to do it as a respect." After saying that, Wang Qiang drank a bowl of wine.

"Why did Duke Kou come to Fanlou today? Isn't he holding banquets in the mansion on weekdays?" Wang Qiang asked.

"The old man is here for you."

"For me, why is that."

"ask a question."

"What is the problem, the lower official must know everything and say everything."

"Wang Qiang, are you from Liao or Han?" Kou Zhun put down the bowl.

"Kou Gong is joking, of course this official is a Han Chinese."

"Then He Heilu is from Liao or Han." Kou Zhun asked again.

"He Heiliu is that He Heiliu?" Yelu Angkor asked.

On the other side, Wang Qinruo and Ding Wei were quietly touching the main corridor.

"It's the He Heilv from your Liao Kingdom 32 years ago." Kou Zhun stared at Wang Qiang and answered Yelu Angkor's words.
