The first-class concubine of the Song Dynasty

Chapter 63 Qingtian Guillotine
The autumn wind is colder, and the Kaifeng government has posted notices about refined salt, but because its price is much more expensive than coarse salt, few people buy it.

King Jin and Su Tong saw that they had already expected this point, so they were not in a hurry.

And at this time, rumors of a gourmet competition to be held in Cuiming Tower had already spread. Compared with the matter of refined salt, the people in the capital were more interested in the food competition.

There are many inns in the capital, and the famous inns all have famous chefs. These famous chefs may not care much about the one hundred guan, but they yearn for the honor awarded by the court.

Whoever's delicacy can win the first place in this competition, whose delicacy may become a tribute, if the delicacy becomes a tribute, it is tantamount to gaining a reputation, and with a reputation, money and wealth will naturally come.

When the news reached Xuefu College, Murong Bo didn't pay much attention at first, until Dong Yu told him that the food competition was proposed by Liu Wei, Murong Bo was shocked, and then learned that Liu Wei wanted to use this matter After helping a father and daughter selling steamed buns, he suddenly smiled coldly: "This Liu Wei is really ignorant. No matter how good the steamed stuffed buns are, how good can steamed stuffed buns win the first prize? Ridiculous, really ridiculous."

After Murong Bo finished speaking, he restrained himself: "Chen Babao of Babaozhai is very familiar with this old man, and the chef of Babaozhai, Lu Bang, is very skilled in cooking, and he cooks excellent dishes, among which Luohan belly is the most famous. Dong Yu, tell Chen Babao with my name post that he will definitely help me beat the father and daughter who sell buns in this food competition. As long as he can beat the father and daughter who sell buns, the business of his Babaozhai will surely win in the future. Helped."

After Dong Yu listened, she nodded slightly: "Dong Yu understands."

Pan Weiji was well informed. Not only did he know about the food contest, but he also knew that the imperial court wanted to use it to promote refined salt, and he had unspeakable anger about refined salt.

He never expected that the refined salt was actually developed by Liu Wei. He found it incredible. Why does nothing in this world seem to be difficult for Liu Wei?
But when he thought this way, he wanted to defeat Liu Wei even more. Maybe he just wanted to live a better life in the past. In his opinion, Pan Weiji is enough to have him in the world, so why another Liuwei?
"Sheng Nan, is there anyone among us who is good at cooking?"

Li Shengnan pondered for a moment, and said: "Of course there are. Li Xiao, the chef of Xiaoyao Building, cooks delicious Xiaoyao chicken. On weekdays, customers who go to Xiaoyaolou to eat Xiaoyao chicken can line up from the street to the end of the street, but Li Xiao only cooks it every day. A hundred of them, with him in charge, they will definitely be successful."

Pan Weiji showed a slight smile, and said: "That's right, that's right, you go and tell Li Xiao that you want him to buy some refined salt from the imperial court for use, and it must be delicious."

Li Shengnan was slightly startled, and said: "The refined salt is made by Liuwei, is it really necessary to use it?"

Pan Weiji nodded slightly: "I am not a pedantic person. If the taste of refined salt is really good, why not use it? As long as we can win, why should we care whether we use refined salt? Besides, the promotion of refined salt is supported by the imperial court. If we use refined salt, it will be more favorable to the imperial court, so if Li Xiao can enter the palace as an imperial cook, it will be a rare blessing for us."

That's all Pan Weiji said, but Li Shengnan suddenly understood that the imperial cook was in charge of the emperor's meals and provided meals for the emperor, so it would be extremely easy to kill the emperor, right?

Thinking of this, a sneer appeared on the corner of Li Shengnan's mouth.
-
The autumn wind is bleak, the stratus clouds hang down, and the willow smell feels a little cold. It seems that the winter in the capital this year has come back very early.

When he entered the Kaifeng mansion, Shen Tan was studying the latest laws and regulations issued by the imperial court. As an official of the imperial court, it is impossible to understand these things.

When Shen Tan saw Liu Wei coming in, he immediately smiled and said, "Master Liu is free to come to my left hall today."

There are two left and right halls in Kaifeng Mansion, and each hall has an official. Shen Tan is the official in the left hall, and Liu Wei is the official in the right hall.

Liu Wei smiled slightly: "I came to see Mr. Shen today to discuss something. I wonder if I disturbed Mr. Shen?"

Ever since the two competed three times and Liu Wei contributed "Winning Injustice Collection", Tan Shen has admired Liu Wei extremely, and has forgotten all the unhappiness in the past. Hearing what Liu Wei said, he quickly smiled and said: "Where is the Sorry to bother you, Master Liu has something to do, but it’s okay.”

Liu Wei nodded and smiled: "It's like this. The court recently reorganized the prison. I have an idea and want to present it to the prince, but I'm worried that I'm not mature enough, so I want to hear Master Shen's opinion first. If Master Shen thinks it's okay, we You might as well go and report to the lord."

Upon hearing this, Shen Tan asked, "What is Master Liu thinking?"

"I want the prince to ask the Holy One for three Qingtian guillotines, and he has the right to cut them first and then play them."

"This..." After listening to Shen Shen, he couldn't help being surprised. From ancient times to the present, there are not many things that are cut first and then played. There is one Shangfang sword, one is the king's golden mace, and there are many dramas on the Shangfang sword. Shen Tan was a little surprised when he suddenly asked for three Qingtian guillotines.

But Tan Shen was just surprised, and quickly said: "I don't know what is the purpose of Master Liu asking for three Qingtian guillotines?"

"Kaifeng Mansion is in charge of the capital, and the common people can come to seek justice, but Mr. Shen, just imagine, how many common people in the world dare to seek justice? If the person they want to sue is not of ordinary status, would they still dare to sue? If there are three Qingtian guillotines The situation is different, the Qingtian Guillotine can beheaded first and played later, as if the Holy Majesty came in person, with this guillotine guarding the Kaifeng Mansion, the people of the world heard the words, what grievances would they not dare to avenge?"

After Shen Tan listened, he was approving, and after approving, he felt that Liu Wei came here to find him not to seek his permission, but to share half of the credit with him. Thinking of this, he was immediately delighted, and said: " Master Liu has a good idea, how about we go see the prince right now?"

The prince and Su looked at the two of them tasting tea in the study of Kaifeng Mansion. In this late autumn season, it would be a pleasure to drink tea with close friends and friends; after listening to Liu Wei and Shen Tan's thoughts, I also think it's very interesting, but it's not an easy thing to ask to cut first and then play, so Su looked at it and said: "As a prince, it's not impossible to invite three Qingtian guillotines, but the reason must be sufficient. Just now the two adults What you said is not bad, with the Qingtian Guillotine, the people of the world will surely dare to seek justice, and it will be of great benefit to the Song Dynasty, but why do you need three Qingtian Guillotines?

Detective Shen couldn't answer Su's other questions. He didn't ask this just now, and Liu Wei didn't say anything, so he turned his attention to Liu Wei, who smiled slightly and said, "Mr. Su, since it's Qingtian Guillotine, Naturally, it is necessary to be worthy of the name of Qingtian, how can it be worthy of the name of Qingtian? Naturally, it is necessary to be stern and selfless, no matter what the status of the sinner is, he can be killed, so that he is worthy of the name of the Qingtian guillotine. , can kill the emperor's relatives, phoenix and dragon grandchildren; tiger-headed guillotine, can kill corrupt officials, treacherous ministers who harm the country; dog-headed guillotine, can kill local tyrants, evil gentry, bullies and rascals. These are the three guillotines of the blue sky."

After Liu Wei finished speaking, his expression suddenly became firm, while the three of Jin Wang, Su Tongkan and Shen Tan were all excited when they heard that, the blue sky guillotine, the wicked people in the world, they were really happy.

With this guillotine here, why can't I get justice?Who can't do it? ——
Royal Palace.

Autumn is deep, but Zhao Kuangyin has no intention of mourning the autumn. He was reviewing the memorial in the imperial study, and suddenly heard that the King of Jin was going to ask for three Qingtian guillotines for the Kaifeng mansion. Three Qingtian guillotines please? What are the three Qingtian guillotines for?"

"Brother Huang, the ten years since the founding of the Song Dynasty, the law has been abolished. A few days ago, Brother Huang reformed the law so that the people of the world can have grievances. But for many people, even if they have grievances, they dare not offend the powerful. There is still the idea that the law does not blame the powerful in the previous dynasty. In this way, even if the emperor has reformed the law, what is the difference from no reform? The three blue sky guillotines are to let the people of the world know that as long as they have grievances, no matter what Whoever they want to sue, there is a place for them to avenge their grievances. There are three guillotines, which are used to kill different people. Traitors; dog-headed guillotines, who can kill local tyrants, evil gentry, bullies and rascals."

Speaking of this, Jin Wang paused slightly, and said: "As for the idea of ​​inviting three Qingtian guillotines, it is not what I think, it is what Liu Consort and Shen Tui are. For the results of the investigation, I would like to ask Brother Huang to agree."

Zhao Kuangyin was shocked after listening to King Jin's words, as if the prancing horse frenzy in his heart suddenly arose again, but soon, he frowned slightly and said: "This emperor's relatives, phoenix sons and dragon grandchildren are also Can you do it?"

The founding of the Song Dynasty did not kill many heroes who founded the country. Zhao Kuangyin also gave preferential treatment to these heroes. Sometimes they were a little more arrogant among the people. Zhao Kuangyin would turn a blind eye when he knew it. Everyone gets it?
The King of Jin seemed to have expected that Zhao Kuangyin would ask this question, so he suddenly knelt down in front of Zhao Kuangyin and said, "Brother Emperor, for the sake of the great Song Dynasty and the people of the world, the laws must be treated equally, otherwise, would the laws be in vain? If only punishment Wouldn’t the powerless and powerless people chill the hearts of the people all over the world? In this way, how will our Great Song Dynasty be peaceful and peaceful? How can we unify the universe?”

King Jin's words shocked Zhao Kuangyin again, and made him finally make up his mind: "What Wang brother said is very true, well, I approve your request, and the three Qingtian guillotines will be sent to Kaifeng Mansion tomorrow."
