Chapter 767: Grape Wine
Cao Cao settled his mind: "Your Excellency Xiao Kunmi, today is a grand gathering for the people of our court, if you have anything, you might as well come back tomorrow." ”
Hasha Awang said with a smile: "Originally, this treasure gathering conference, Xiao Wang just came to open his eyes and see the treasures of the Han Kingdom. But what do you call the world's first treasure conference, you must know that the world is big, but not only the Han country, although my Wusun country is small, there are also a few treasures, why the world's first treasure conference does not gather the treasures of our country? ”
As soon as this sentence came out, everyone on and off the stage nodded one after another: "Yes, yes, since it is called the first in the world, why is it only our family that participates?" Let them take out all the treasures and compare them, so that they may be convinced. ”
"But looking at this little Kunmi's menacing appearance, it seems that the person who came is not good."
"Afraid of what? I have a lot of land and resources, am I not as good as these people who have turned into foreigners? ”
When Liu Hong heard these discussions, he turned his head and asked Zhang Rang, "What does Father think?" Do you want these Hu people to come together to collect treasures? ”
Although Zhang Rang obeyed Xu You's arrangement and did not clash head-on with Qiuming, if he had the opportunity, he would definitely not forget to pit Qiuming. Hearing Liu Hong's words, Zhang Rang immediately said: "Your Majesty, what Xiao Kunmi said is very reasonable, the world's first treasure gathering conference, naturally should gather the world's treasures, but if the treasure of Wusun Kingdom is stronger than ours, ......." Alas, it's only strange that Qiu Ming said a big word, and now it's helpless to be slapped in the face. ”
While Liu Hong was discussing with Zhang Rang, Qiu Ming also learned about the general situation from Cao Cao. It's just a small country that is not officially recognized, and it dares to call out to the heavenly empire? It seems that most of it is a trick made by the drama Zhi, and it needs to be handled carefully.
Seeing that the emperor of the Han family nodded in approval, Hasha Awang was so excited that his face was shiny. Since the Wusun Kingdom was split into two parts, although the Han Dynasty has been secretly supporting Xiao Kunmi, there has never been official communication, and the existence of Xiao Kunmi has never been recognized in the national letter. In this way, after more than 100 years, Xiao Kunmi seems to have become a county of the Han family, and the countries in the Western Regions are also wary of them, with no allies outside, and they have lost the support of the people inside, and they are almost no longer a country.
This time in Luoyang, Hazha Awang came with the expectations of the whole clan, hoping to be recognized by the Han family and give him enough respect diplomatically. But after a few months of thinking and spending a lot of money, I didn't even see Da Honglu, let alone the son of heaven of the Han family. When he was hesitating, Xi Zhicai came to the door, only saying that it would be the first treasure gathering conference in the world soon, and the Son of Heaven would definitely be there, as long as this is the case, you will most likely be able to get your wish.
It was the first time for Hasha Awang to see the son of the Han family, and he was a little panicked, but when he thought of Xi Zhicai, he repeatedly told him not to have stage fright at this moment, and the more arrogant he was, the better, so he simply let it go. He said loudly, "What? Could it be that Your Majesty does not dare to see the treasures of our country? Or do you know that there is no heavy treasure to compare with in the Han Kingdom, so you don't dare to respond? ”
As soon as Hasha Awang's words fell, Xi Zhicai, who was mixed in the crowd, immediately said loudly: "Joke, I am a big country in China, with holy kings and virtuous ministers, and now it is the world's first treasure gathering conference, how can I be better than your small country without treasures." As soon as he shouted this, many idlers next to him also shouted.
Liu Hong looked at Zhang Rang, and Zhang Rang said: "The name of the world's No. 1 Treasure Conference was started by Qiuming, and he is naturally responsible for all the consequences." If you can't even compare with such a small country and fall into the reputation of the Han family, either Qiuming is incompetent, or this number one in the world is not worthy of the truth, and he is guilty of bullying the king, and His Majesty must not protect him anymore. ”
Liu Hong then said to Qiu Ming: "Qiu Qing, are you willing to fight with him?" ”
Tyuming had no right to refuse at this time, and immediately saluted: "Your Majesty has an order, and the minister will not give up." He thought about it for a while, and only then did he use the Changxin Palace lamp to stir up a storm and force himself not to use the treasures in the Ming Weapon again, which can be said to be extremely vicious. Now that he can't contact Chen Gong Chengyu in the audience, he can only discuss it quietly with Cao Cao at most, which is equivalent to dealing with Xi Zhicai by himself, which is a little difficult.
Zhang Rang immediately said to Hasha Ngawang: "Little Prince Kunmi, if you have any treasures to show, if you can please the Son of Heaven, Your Majesty will naturally be rewarded." ”
Hasha Awang didn't say much, but asked his entourage to bring up a big wooden barrel: "Since Xiao Wang arrived in Luoyang, he has drunk a lot of fine wine from the Han Kingdom, but all of them are strong and mellow. Here is the grape wine I brought from the Western Regions, the fragrance is endless, and it is the first treasure of my country. ”
Wine? Can this thing be called a treasure too? Moreover, what is used to make wine in the Central Plains is nothing more than cereals and grains, why is it that Wusun Kingdom even uses grapes to make wine? It is said that the taste of grapes is sweet and sour, so the wine made from grapes must be very sour, right?
A few Hu people carefully poured the wine out of the barrel, and as soon as it was poured into the pottery bowl, the people nearby felt a strange aroma in their noses and praised it. Many drinkers smelled this aroma and couldn't wait to grab a sip and drink it all, but unfortunately the emperor couldn't be presumptuous, so he could only clench his fists and swallow a few mouthfuls of saliva.
Liu Hong was very familiar with grapes, and the ministers he had fed grapes on weekdays were not twenty but fifteen or sixteen, and as soon as he smelled the wine, he immediately exclaimed: "It seems to be interesting, take it and give it to me to taste." ”
Zhang Rang arranged for two warriors to try the liquor first, and then probed it with a silver needle before he asked people to take a small cup and send it to Liu Hong. At this time, the samurai who had just tried the wine was already full of red and fragrant wine, and he was almost unable to stand on his feet when he staggered. Everyone in the audience was amazed, so a small sip of wine can put down these two big men, it seems that the wine power is really good.
In front of everyone's eyes, Liu Hong picked up the glass cup and took a sip gently, his face showed a little intoxication and a little bewilderment, after a while, he drank the remaining wine, sighed and said: "Good wine, good wine, it really deserves to be a treasure." ”
Seeing Liu Hong's expression, Hasha Awang immediately made up his mind and said: "The grapes used in this wine are taken from the Persian heavens, and the grapes themselves are removed by the secret method of our country, and only three or four barrels can be brewed in a year. "Now that the emperor of the Han family has been attracted by the wine, it seems that he has made a good start, and Hasha Awang has gradually become respectful under his excitement, and he is no longer the frivolous appearance of Fang Cai.
Liu Hong pondered for a while before he said to Qiu Ming: "Qiu Qing, do we have any treasures in the court that can compare with this grape wine?" ”
