Tanabata Diva Concert: Happy Breakup

In the private room of Zhiweixuan, Zheng Zhengjin, Li Jing and Wei Zheng sat opposite each other.

The room was warm because there was a coal stove inside. On the stove, a pot of fine wine was warming.

Li Jing is now over fifty years old, and there are inevitably some silver strands in his hair. Although they are few, they cannot conceal his vigor and vitality.

Soon, the kitchen prepared some side dishes and sent them over.

First up is Mapo Tofu.
Li Jing took a bite, and the spicy taste was like a window into the universe. He couldn't help but give a thumbs up and said, "After returning to Beijing a few days ago, I heard my wife praising Zhiweixuan in the mansion. Whether it's fine wine or delicious food, it's the best in the world. After tasting it today, it's true."

Li Jing's wife was a famous chivalrous woman in the martial arts world, Hong Fu.

Zhiweixuan has been open for a while. Of course, no one dares to cause trouble here. After all, on the opening day, nearly half of the civil and military officials came. But the wine and food at Zhiweixuan are a bit expensive. If it weren't for the good taste, it would have closed long ago.

"Mrs. Li, you are too kind." Zheng Zhengjin smiled and poured wine into the glasses of Li Jing and Wei Zheng.

"It's really good wine. In this weather, having such strong wine to drink is really a great pleasure in life." Wei Zheng said with a smile. Although he was a civil servant, he was also a censor and knew what he should do. For example, if Li Jing invited him to drink alone, he would not participate no matter what, but Zheng Zhengjin was an exception.

After three rounds of drinking, Li Jing said, "Hey, if those soldiers guarding the border could drink a glass of such strong wine in the middle of winter, it would warm their bodies."

Zheng Zhengjin shook his head and said, "This wine is actually helpful for those soldiers who were injured by swords. It can prevent their wounds from getting infected, thus reducing some casualties."

Upon hearing this, Li Jing stood up excitedly, pressed Zheng Zhengjin's shoulder, and asked, "Your Highness, is what you said true?"

Zheng Zhengjin nodded: "Of course it's true, but the best way is to use alcohol to clean the wound. After all, the alcohol content of white wine is still a bit low. You know, on the battlefield now, almost all battles are fought with cold weapons. Once the wound is infected, the chance of losing life is too high."

Li Jing's breathing was a little rapid. Before he could speak again, Zheng Zhengjin said, "Don't worry, General Li. As the Minister of War, you love your soldiers like your own sons and have strict discipline. I have a method that can reduce the number of soldiers who die from fever after being injured on the battlefield. Of course, you can ask the Minister of Justice about this matter. After all, he was injured by a sword stained with gold juice."

After Zheng Zhengjin finished speaking, he comforted Li Jing, and then took out an A4 paper from his schoolbag, which clearly told him that the bandages used by the injured soldiers must be boiled in boiling water. As for alcohol, Zheng Zhengjin would give Li Jing two jars after he finished drinking. He asked him to take it to the Ministry of War. At the same time, he also reminded him that the alcohol could not be drunk, otherwise it would be very likely to be life-threatening.

Li Jing looked at the clear Wuliangye in the glass and thought, "This should be the immortal wine. If this immortal wine can be produced in large quantities, then if a soldier is injured, how many families and soldiers' lives can be saved."

Zheng Zhengjin and Li Jing chatted for a while.
Wei Zheng held a wine glass in his hand and asked suspiciously: "Your Highness, could you tell me why you proposed that women could take the imperial examinations?"

Zheng Zhengjin's face began to become serious. He said, "Because there are too many injustices against women in this world. I have seen with my own eyes that in a family, the man has no ability at all, and the woman has to go out every day to make money and support the family. Under such circumstances, the man actually beats the woman. What's outrageous is that the woman can't even get a divorce. Nowadays, all that matters is the parents' orders and the matchmaker's words. Some newlyweds haven't even met each other a few times before getting married. Just because of the Confucian doctrine at the time, a piece of nonsense like "only women and villains are difficult to raise", the woman has to bear the blame for so many years. This is not a good thing.

Moreover, it is a good thing for women to participate in the imperial examinations, as it can suppress those arrogant men. Isn't it?

Whoever says that women are inferior to men, if he dares to say this, I will chop off his dog head on behalf of Princess Pingyang Zhao. "

When mentioning Princess Pingyang Zhao, Li Jing was full of admiration. A woman with the talent of a general. How charming. "But the idea of ​​male superiority and female inferiority has been too deeply rooted." Wei Zheng had no objection to Zheng Zhengjin's proposal that women could participate in the imperial examination.

"Yes, I know this. By the way, since we are talking about this, let's talk about Empress Lü. What does Lord Wei think of Empress Lü?" After Zheng Zhengjin finished speaking, Wei Zheng was a little confused.
He smiled and shook his head, still not commenting on Lu Zhi's good points.

Zheng Zhengjin suddenly said: "If I were Lu Zhi, I would have seized the kingdom of Liu Bang, the ungrateful and ungrateful bastard. She was the first queen in history, but in the end, her entire family was wiped out. The people of the Liu family seem to have ungratefulness running in their blood.

Even though people in later generations evaluated Lü Zhi as cruel, it must be said that as a woman in charge of the court, she seemed to have good civil and military skills. Otherwise, she would not have laid the foundation for Emperor Wen of Han and Emperor Jing of Han, allowing them to have the famous Wenjing era.

Of course, what exactly was Lü Zhi's experience like? Was she slandered by later generations, or did she have the talent to govern the country? I'm sure you have thought about this in your mind. After all, Lü Zhi was in power for such a long time, and there was no rebellion or anything like that.

As for the history books, some of them will tamper with them.”

Wei Zheng said, "I'm grateful for your advice."

Li Jing also picked up the wine glass and said, "Your Highness, I think you are right about one thing, that is, who said that women are inferior to men?"

Zheng Zhengjin raised his glass and said, "Drink."

"Hahaha," Zheng Zhengjin was actually quite depressed.

Then he stood up from his seat and walked to the window, which was only slightly opened. He spoke boldly:

“I don’t see you, the water of the Yellow River comes up from the sky and rushes to the sea never to return.

Don't you see Gaotangmingjing's sad white hair, the morning is like a blue silk and snow is at dusk.

Life is full of joy, so that the gold is empty for the moon.

I am born to be useful, and come back when my wealth is gone.

Cooking sheep and slaughtering cows is fun, and you will have to drink three hundred cups.

Wei Xuancheng, Li Pharmacist, let's drink, don't stop.

When Zheng Zhengjin read this in a heroic manner, Wei Zheng and Li Jing were both surprised. They did not expect that their own names were actually read out: Wei Zheng, with the courtesy name Xuancheng, and Li Jing, with the courtesy name Yaoshi.

They looked at each other and saw the light in each other's eyes.
The level of this poem can be said to be enough to make it famous through the ages. ..
