The first-class concubine of the Song Dynasty

Chapter 38 Exhausted
The autumn wind is slightly cool.

Today is the day when Liujia Winery sells wine publicly. Normally, many wine merchants will come here to drink wine today.

Probably in the morning, there were already many carriages parked outside the Liu Family Winery. After the doors of the Liu Family Winery were opened, these carriages came in one after another. Every half a stick of incense, there were carriages leaving the winery with wine.

Every carriage looked suspicious, and the spies who were watching outside the Liu Family Winery did not dare to do anything careless, so they would send someone to follow each carriage when it left.

What made them even more terrified was that Liu Wei would leave from time to time, just like the previous two days, but those spies followed Liu Wei's carriage, and finally found that Liu Wei was just driving around the capital. And then back again.

What makes them even more angry is that sometimes they think that the person in the carriage is Liu Wei, but after following around, they find that the person in the carriage is not Liu Wei at all, but a guy from the Liu Family Winery. The clothes are the ones that Liu Wei often wore before.

Soon, they found out that they had been fooled, but they had nothing to do. They could only keep reporting the news to their master, and then kept asking for more manpower. There are too many carriages today, and they Some can't keep up.

The wind was a bit bleak, and there were more and more carriages, and finally the spies couldn't follow them at all. Sometimes a few carriages had already left after they had finished tracking here, but their manpower was not enough. , since it's a spy, it can't be too much, too much, it's too obvious.

And just when these spies were exhausted for this, the Kaifeng Mansion.

King Jin frowned. He felt that the situation of the Liu Family Winery was a little abnormal today, and something must be happening.

He glanced at Su and then said, "Mr. Su, what do you think we should do now?"

Su looked at another thought for a moment, and said: "Looking at the current situation, it is really difficult to speculate. Maybe we are suspicious. Maybe the Southern Han assassin is really in the Liu Family Winery. If we are suspicious, then naturally there is nothing to say, but If the Southern Han Assassin is really in the Liu Family Winery, then the only possibility is that the Assassin wants to leave the Liu Family Winery, and Liu Wei's purpose of doing this is to find an opportunity for the Southern Han Assassins to leave."

After listening to what Su Another read, King Jin nodded slightly: "I don't think it's wrong, then Liu Wei must be looking for a chance to let the Southern Han assassin go." At this point, King Jin frowned slightly, and said: "If he If it continues like this, I'm afraid we will inevitably be negligent, what does Mr. Su think?"

Su Tongkan didn't answer King Jin's words right away, but asked another question: "Does the prince still want to subdue Liu Wei for his own use?"

"Of course I wanted to do this, and it was precisely because of this that I wanted to find out whether he had anything to do with the Southern Han assassins. If so, no matter how talented he was, I would never use him again."

King Jin is a man with great ambitions, for the sake of their Zhao family, he can give up anything and anyone.

Su Tongkan nodded slightly, people who do great things should have this kind of courage, but if they keep doing this, they will easily lose people's hearts.From Su's point of view, King Jin was so anxious to get hold of Liu Wei not because he wanted to find out whether Liu Wei had anything to do with the Southern Han assassins, but because he wanted to use this to control Liu Wei.

If he can control Liu Wei at any time, it will be tantamount to making him much stronger for the King of Jin. It is just a king, and it is not suitable to use this method to control his subjects. After a while, he finally chose to give up.

King Jin's paranoia over this matter exceeded Su Another Kan's expectations. He didn't think that his persuasion could make King Jin let go of his paranoia. If so, the next thing he had to consider was how to avoid this from happening .

He can't let Jin Wang taste the sweetness of controlling other people's secrets, because once this kind of thing is done, it will be very addictive, which is not good for a country. It is still the safety of the Song Dynasty, and the safety of the people of the Song Dynasty.

After thinking about it for a while, Su Tongkan said with a faint smile: "If Liu Weiruo really wants to help the Southern Han assassin leave, this method can indeed be successful, but there is a loophole in this method, that is, he wants to send the Southern Han assassin away. Assassin Han, he has to do it himself and let others do it, is he relieved?"

"What do you mean, sir?"

"Send someone to the Liu Family Winery and invite Liu Wei to sit in Kaifeng Mansion. As long as he is not in the Liu Family Winery, how will the Southern Han assassins leave?"

After reading another conversation, Su made Jin Wang Mao Sai suddenly enlightened, so he quickly sent someone to Liu's winery to invite Liu Weilai.
-
For King Jin's invitation, Liu Wei didn't dare to hesitate at all, and came in a hurry after receiving the order.

After entering Kaifeng Mansion, Liu Wei ordered someone to bring in the new wine from the winery while saluting. This has almost become Liu Wei's habit. Every time he comes, he has to get a few jars of good wine. Wang Jian praised Liu Weiniang's wine very much. It is said that Su's room contains dozens of jars of wine, and he even has to drink a few cups every night before he is willing to fall asleep.

After everyone sat down in the living room of Kaifeng Mansion, Liu Wei asked: "I don't know why the prince is so anxious to come down?"

Jin Wang just wanted Liu Wei to come, but when Liu Wei came, he couldn't do nothing, which would make Liu Wei suspicious, so he smiled slightly: "It's like this, there are many students from other places. I have already entered the capital to prepare for next year's spring test. Many of them are young talents. The king specially invited a few of them to a banquet today. Later, he realized that Liu Concubine is the most talented person in the capital, so he invited them here. Everyone will discuss and learn from each other at that time. After a while, Prince Consort Liu has to win over the scholars in the capital."

Saying this, the King of Jin ordered the guards beside him, "Go and see if all the scholars have come."

Liu Wei listened from the side, but secretly smiled in his heart, I'm afraid you haven't notified those scholars yet, my lord, this excuse is too bad, isn't it just to delay time?

Although I thought so in my heart, Liu Wei didn't dare to show it, and said: "Please rest assured, my lord, I will definitely not lose the face of the scholars in the capital, but I am a little puzzled. It is only the end of autumn at this time, and there are still several years before the beginning of spring next year." Months, aren't these scholars a little too anxious?"

King Jin smiled lightly: "No rush, no rush at all. Although there is still a lot of time before the spring exam, you can't let them take the time to come, can you? Besides, if you come to the capital, if you can make a name for yourself as soon as possible, give them an exam The grades at the time are of great help, and many scholars are disciples of the ministers of the court, and they also want to come to see them."

After listening to Liu Wei, he showed a dazed look, and then said: "I don't know who the prince has invited?"

"It's some people who have been famous for a long time. You will know when they come." King Jin didn't know who the guards could invite, so he didn't specify who. Ask, just watch with King Jin and Su while tasting wine while waiting.

After about half an hour, the guards finally invited four people.

These four people included three young men and an old man. When Liu Wei saw the old man, he was very surprised. He wondered why such an old man had to take part in the spring test. He should be in his sixties or seventies. Bar?
Just when Liu Wei was thinking this way, those people had already started to salute King Jin. With a smile on his face, King Jin looked at the old man and said, "Mr. Ouyang is here too. This king is really happy."

The old man hurriedly bowed and said: "I made the prince laugh. The old minister was in the restaurant to comment on poetry with these young brothers. Hearing that the prince wanted these young talents to review poetry together, he came here with a thick face."

Liu Wei still hadn't figured out the identity of the old man at this time, until the King of Jin said something about Ouyang Jiong, Liu Wei finally realized that Ouyang Jiong was an official of Hou Shu, and he was an official in Kaifeng after Hou Shu descended to Song Dynasty, this person is Hua Jianci He is a representative figure of the school, his style of writing is meticulous and graceful, and even Tao Gu, who has always regarded himself very highly, respects him very much.

Although he was an official of the later Shu Dynasty and did not hold any real position, he was still very respected in Song Dynasty because of his extraordinary talent.

After talking with King Jin, Ouyang Jiong talked about how he made friends with those young men. It turned out that Ouyang Jiong was very bored today, so he was wandering in the street, and happened to meet some scholars from other places discussing in a restaurant Poetry, he felt that these people were talented, so he also participated in it.

Ouyang Jiong's words have somewhat leaked that the King of Jin sent someone to find someone temporarily, but Liu Weiquan pretended not to hear it. After Ouyang Jiong finished speaking, he stepped forward to express his respect for Ouyang Jiong, an old poet. admiration.

After saying this, the three young men began to introduce themselves.

The first one is about 25 years old, with a good face, amiable, modest and polite. He said that Lv Mengzheng, whose name is Shenggong, is from Luoyang; With a sense of perseverance, he is called Mingzhou Feixiang native, named Li Hang, and his character is Taichu.

After Liu Wei heard the introduction of these two people, he was startled and at a loss. Why did the guards of the King of Jin randomly find someone in the street, who was a famous figure in history? How did the guards find someone?
It's incredible.

At this time, no one knows the future achievements of these two, but Liu Wei does know that Lu Mengzheng and Li Hang are both famous prime ministers in the early Song Dynasty. It is upright and upright, and dare to speak what others dare not speak.

After seeing these two people, Liu Wei really wanted to rush up to make friends, but he finally held back, and after saying a few polite words casually, he turned his attention to the third person.

When seeing the third person, Liu Wei couldn't help being surprised, what a handsome young man.

When Liu Wei saw that person, he could only describe it as handsome, but when Liu Wei took a closer look, he thought it was okay to use stunning, because Liu Wei found that the third person turned out to be a woman.
