Chapter 575: Get Ready, Go

After playing like this for two or three days, Lin Hao felt even less interested as they only caught small fish, and they had never caught the grouper weighing 50 or 60 kilograms that they had caught before.

However, Lin Hao heard from several people that they were going to the South China Sea to fish for deep-sea tuna, so Lin Hao immediately became interested.

So I chatted with them for a few minutes and made an appointment to fly directly to the South China Sea with them.

In fact, Lin Hao didn’t care about what he caught, but he cared about the feeling of fishing, especially fighting with those large fish.

Relying on his strong physical fitness, Lin Hao managed to catch a bluefin tuna weighing more than 60 kilograms.

However, after catching the tuna, Lin Hao did not plan to sell it. He directly invited everyone on the boat to taste it together.

I made quite a few friends during this far sea fishing trip. After all, few of those who have the leisure time to come here to fish are those who have money.

He wandered on the sea for more than twenty days. When he had free time on the sea, Lin Hao picked up his tablet and watched Meng Hua Lu to pass the time.

After watching a few episodes, I didn't pay much attention to it. How should I put it? The female lead is pretty, but the plot is bad.

"Dream of Splendor" is a story that revolves around the Night Banquet.

The general content is:

The queen is married for the second time;
The emperor knew that the queen was married for the second time;
The Empress knew that the Emperor knew that she was a second marriage;
The ministers thought that the emperor did not know that the queen was married for the second time, so they tried to find the painting of the night banquet to prove that the queen was married for the second time.

The queen tried her best to prevent her ministers from finding evidence to prove that she was remarried, and the story unfolds from this.

It may seem a bit confusing, but this is roughly how things go.

By the way, this emperor was the third emperor of the Northern Song Dynasty, Song Zhenzong, the guy who single-handedly lowered the lower limit of the Fengshan ceremony at Mount Tai.

From then on, no emperor went to Mount Tai to offer sacrifices to heaven and earth. There was no other reason, but it was because he was ashamed to be associated with such a person.

Looking at ancient China, excluding those who were posthumously named emperors, there were more than 400 people who actually enjoyed the luxury while they were alive.

So how many of these emperors went to Mount Tai to offer sacrifices to heaven and earth?
The answer is six, and Song Zhenzong is the last sixth one.

And who were the people who performed the Fengshan ceremony at Mount Tai before Emperor Zhenzong of Song?

Qin Shihuang, Emperor Wu of Han, Emperor Guangwu of Han, Emperor Gaozong of Tang, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, and Emperor Zhenzong of Song.

The first emperor Ying Zheng, who unified the country, had many great achievements, which need not be mentioned in detail.

Emperor Wu of Han, Liu Che, attacked the Xiongnu in the north and would punish any friend who came from afar, no matter how far away they were;
The great magician Liu Xiu, who helped extend the Han dynasty's fortune for another 200 years;

Li Zhi, who expanded the territory of the Tang Dynasty to its largest extent in history;
Li Longji led the Tang Dynasty to its peak, but also caused its gradual decline, and has received mixed reviews.

Look at these five emperors, each one of them is a famous and great man. Even the most controversial one, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, Li Longji, at least led the Tang Dynasty to glory.

The only exception was the last emperor, Emperor Zhenzong of Song.

The original meaning of Fengshan at Mount Tai was to report peace to heaven and reward the gods for their contributions.

In other words, when other emperors performed the Fengshan ceremony on Mount Tai, it meant that they had received the mandate from heaven, reported peace to heaven, expressed gratitude for heaven's protection, and of course, reported on how outstanding the emperor's political achievements were.

What about the great achievements of Emperor Zhenzong of Song?

After signing the Treaty of Chanyuan, I had the audacity to offer sacrifices to the gods on Mount Tai and report to the whole world and God that I had signed a treaty that was humiliating and detrimental to my country. Now I am here to report the good news to God~!

Oh my God ▄︻┻┳═一…bang…☆（>○<）Emperor Zhenzong of Song.

From then on, the Fengshan ceremony at Mount Tai lost its sacred attributes, and even Zhu Yuanzhang, who was most qualified to perform the Fengshan ceremony at Mount Tai, was unwilling to go.

······
Zhenzong’s queen, Liu E, is also a famous historical figure. She is the prototype of the idiom “the cat replaces the prince”.

Of course, the truth behind the story of the cat replacing the prince is just a legend. The truth is that the queen gave birth to a child through surrogacy.

However, Emperor Zhenzong of Song had a unique taste. He did not like ladies from wealthy families, but rather liked "country women". He fell in love with Liu E, who came from a humble background.

Liu E was a girl from Sichuan. Her parents died early and she was fostered in her grandmother's home since childhood.

In order to make a living, Liu E became a singer. Not only was she beautiful and had a sweet voice, she was also very good at playing rattles. She could be said to be multi-talented.

Later, Liu E became a good woman and married Gong Mei, a silversmith in Chengdu.

Not long after, Gong Mei brought Liu E to Kaifeng to make a living, but life in Kaifeng was not easy. Because of the difficult livelihood, Gong Mei planned to sell his wife Liu E.

Anyway, she is just a singer, so just sell her and marry a better one later.

However, fate is fickle. This sale changed Liu E's fate, because Gong Mei sold Liu E to Zhang Qi.

Zhang Qi was Song Zhenzong's childhood friend and leader of his guards. When Zhang Qi saw Liu E, he did not think of enjoying her himself, but gave Liu E to Song Zhenzong.

At this moment, the meeting of golden wind and jade dew was better than anything in the world. As soon as Emperor Zhenzong of Song saw Liu E, he was sure that he had found true love.

The two of them are very affectionate to each other.

That year, Emperor Zhenzong of Song was 15 years old and Liu E was 14 years old. They were young and just beginning to fall in love.

Then Song Zhenzong was ruined. Lust is a steel knife that scrapes bones. Young people have no self-control. Song Zhenzong was in the period of growing up, and he indulged himself too much, which led to some health problems.

Upon hearing the news, Emperor Taizong of Song, Zhao Guangyi, was shocked and immediately called Zhao Yuanxiu's wet nurse to ask about the situation.

It just so happened that this wet nurse disliked Liu E very much. When Emperor Taizong of Song held her accountable, in order to shirk responsibility, she took the opportunity to exaggerate the complaint against Liu E.

All the blame for Emperor Zhenzong of Song's poor health was placed on Liu E.

When Emperor Taizong of Song heard about this, he was furious and immediately ordered Emperor Zhenzong of Song to expel Liu E from the palace.

Since his father had spoken, Song Zhenzong had no choice but to accept it. However, he really couldn't bear to part with Liu E, so in order to fool his father, he hid his beauty in a golden house.

He placed Liu E in Zhang Qi's home and began an underground love affair with her.

In the third year of Zhidao (997), Emperor Taizong of Song died and Emperor Zhenzong of Song officially succeeded to the throne.

The world is big, and the emperor is the greatest. Now no one can control Song Zhenzong anymore. He immediately brought Liu E into the palace and later named her Defei.

The empress at that time was Song Zhenzong's second wife, Guo Shouwen, the daughter of the founding hero. She had the highest status in the harem.

However, the most favored concubine in the harem by Emperor Zhenzong of Song was Liu E, and no one could replace Liu E's position in Emperor Zhenzong of Song's heart.

In the fourth year of Jingde (1007), Empress Guo died of illness, and the throne of Empress remained vacant.

At that time, Song Zhenzong wanted to make Liu E the queen, but almost all the ministers opposed it.

Therefore, Liu E was very anxious. She was obviously the emperor's favorite woman, but who would have thought that good things would take time, and a group of ministers actually used her background as an excuse.

How can we break the deadlock?
The first thing that came to mind was that a mother's status is determined by her son. As long as she could give birth to a son for Emperor Zhenzong of Song, she would naturally become the queen.

Unfortunately, although Liu E was the most favored by Emperor Zhenzong of Song, she had no children in her life.

In order to become the queen, Liu E resorted to surrogacy. She gave her maid Li to Emperor Zhenzong of Song, and before her death, Liu E named Li the Concubine Chen.

On April 1010, the third year of Dazhong Xiangfu (), under the arrangement of Liu E, Li Chenfei successfully gave birth to a son.

This is Zhao Shouyi, the sixth son of Emperor Zhenzong of Song. Emperor Zhenzong of Song had six sons. The first five sons all died young, and Zhao Shouyi was his only son.

Liu E immediately claimed Zhao Shouyi as her own. She and Song Zhenzong announced to the public that Zhao Shouyi was her son and that Zhao Shouyi had nothing to do with Li Chenfei.

And Zhao Shouyi was the later famous Emperor Renzong of Song (in 1018, Zhao Shouyi was made crown prince and changed his name to Zhao Zhen).

Uh~, speaking of Renzong Zhao Zhen, Lin Hao remembered the incident in "The Story of Minglan" where he harmed his queen.

The birth of Zhao Shouyi made Liu E the only concubine in the harem of the Song Dynasty at that time who gave birth to a child for Emperor Zhenzong of Song. Now no one could stop Liu E from becoming the queen.

In the fifth year of Dazhong Xiangfu (1012), Liu E finally got her wish and was canonized as queen.

In other words, Liu E had a husband before, and Song Zhenzong must have known about it, but since he loved Liu E so deeply, he didn't care about it at all.

Therefore, the story about the queen losing her virginity in Meng Hualu was not a rumor but a fact. However, Liu E did not deceive Emperor Zhenzong of Song, and Emperor Zhenzong of Song also tried his best to protect Liu E.

Therefore, the group of ministers who tried to dethrone the queen were simply doing useless work. After Lin Hao finished watching the drama intermittently, he had a great time on the sea, so he prepared to go ashore and find a hotel to stay in.

Late at night, after Lin Hao was ready, he turned on the system:
Late at night, after completing all the preparations, Lin Hao directly opened the system mall and purchased a necessary card for time travel.

"System, activate the time travel card!"

The system sound sounded immediately!
Ding: "The Myriad Worlds Crossing Card has been activated, and the card attribute is a wearing card!"

"The worlds you can travel through have been discovered: the urban world "Twenty Not Confused"; the ancient world "Dream of Splendor". Choose one to complete the task, and you will travel through in ten minutes. The countdown is 9 minutes and 59 seconds!"

“This world has actually been refreshed!” Lin Hao looked at the refreshed world. However, Lin Hao was already familiar with this kind of urban world. But Lin Hao still liked the Fairy Sister.

Moreover, most of the previous dramas were about urban worlds, and this ancient costume drama with fictional history was just right for Lin Hao to change his taste.

Then he refocused his attention and confirmed without hesitation:
"System, travel through the world of Dream Record!"

The system's voice sounded again:
"Ding, host, please choose the type of ID card to use!"

Lin Hao looked at the character identity cards in the warehouse, thought about it and decided not to use them. It would be most cost-effective to use blank cards.

So I bought a new blank card from the system mall and said:
“Use whiteboard ID badges.”

"Ding, host, please compile the identity card!"

Later, Lin Hao saw the automatically generated information on the identity card and began to compile the identity information in the world of "Meng Hualu".

In such an ancient world, one’s status must not be too low, and Lin Hao is not planning to rebel this time.

The main reason was that the country was at its peak in the early days of the dynasty, and from the Zhenzong period to the Renzong period, the people lived a pretty good life, mainly because Lin Hao was too lazy to make any trouble.

In the early Northern Song Dynasty, the policy of giving equal importance to civil and military affairs was openly implemented, but the policy of emphasizing civil affairs over military affairs was secretly implemented.

There was no way out. The power of the military generals was too strong. After the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, the emperor could not stand the experience of military generals killing the emperor at will.

Therefore, starting from Emperor Taizong, the policy of supporting civil officials to check and balance military generals was adopted. During the reign of Emperor Zhenzong, the policy changed from covert to overt, and the policy officially shifted from giving equal importance to civil and military affairs to giving priority to civil affairs over military affairs. This was an important period.

However, it was not until the reign of Emperor Gaozong of the Southern Song Dynasty that the military was truly controlled by civil officials, and only then did the military generals completely become servants of the civil officials.

Therefore, as for Lin Hao's identity, he would of course choose the military general series. No matter where he goes, the gun is the truth.

Since it is a blank ID card, the name must be the real name, and the age is naturally 25 years old, which is the peak age for humans.

In terms of interpersonal relationships, one must be fatherless and motherless and have a wide range of friends!
As for matching assets, Lin Hao thought about it and decided to match 100 tons of silver. No matter whether it can be used or not, it is better to be prepared. Besides, he feels like he will lose out if he doesn't use it.

Soon Lin Hao completed the compilation of the identity card.

而时间很快就进入倒计时，5、4、3、2、1！

The countdown returned to zero, and after a slight dizziness, when Lin Hao opened his eyes, he had already arrived in the world of "Dream of Hualu".

Afterwards, Lin Hao found himself in a carriage, and his mind received a lot of information.

Marquis of Jing'an, this is the identity assigned to Lin Hao by the system. When filling in his identity and occupation, Lin Hao only wrote Marquis.

After all, ancient titles are not that simple. The best way is to just write the title and let the system automatically match a suitable one.

As usual, his parents died early, and he inherited the title when he was a teenager, and was highly regarded by the current officials.

He has now been promoted to the rank of General Zhongwu, and is also one of the Four Military Camps (Fen, Yao, Lian, Xian), and the commander of the Fenwu Camp.

He was heading to Qiantang on the orders of Zhao Heng to investigate the rumors about the queen's loss of virginity and to obtain the Night Banquet Picture.

By the way, there was also a married boy named Lin Zhi who accompanied him to Qiantang County.

Of course, Zhao Heng not only sent him to investigate, but also sent people from the Imperial City Bureau to Qiantang to investigate the case. Everyone was independent of each other and was investigating their own cases. Whoever had the ability to get the Night Banquet Picture would be rewarded and promoted.

But Lin Hao knew the inside story, so he naturally wouldn't take it seriously.

Speaking of which, I'm afraid I have a grudge against the Song Dynasty! Lin Hao couldn't help but secretly complain in his heart.

I didn't expect that after I had bullied Song Renzong in the world of "The Story of Minglan", I now came to the world of "Dream of Red Mansions" to bully Song Renzong's father, Song Zhenzong!
However, when the Jingkang Incident happened in the future, the entire family of Emperor Huizong and Emperor Qinzong, from palace maids to princesses, from concubines to the queen, were all killed by the Jin people in turn. Why couldn't they be killed too?

You deserve it, you coward!
By the way, the advantage of the blank ID card seems to be that it is available one month in advance, so it seems that the plot has not started yet.

So Lin Hao was not in a hurry and leisurely went towards Qiantang County.

······
One month later, Zhao’s Tea Shop.

The house boy Lin Zhi said flatteringly:

"My Lord, I have already inquired about it. This Zhao's Teahouse is the best teahouse in Qiantang. Not only is the tea and fruit delicious, but the tea master here is also extremely beautiful~!"

As they were talking, the master and servant walked into the tea shop.

She is worthy of being the Fairy Sister, no, she is worthy of being the leading teahouse in Qiantang. The seats in the teahouse are almost full this morning.

I just don’t know how many of these people came for tea, and how many came for Zhao Paner.

The two found an empty seat by the window and sat down. Lin Hao began to look at Zhao Paner who was busy.

Wow, she is worthy of being called the Fairy Sister. Even though she is wearing coarse linen clothes and has no makeup on her face, she is still so beautiful and charming.

"What would you two like to order?"

Zhao Paner, who had just prepared tea for another table, came to Lin Hao's table with a professional smile on her face.

Lin Hao continued to look at Zhao Pan'er without saying anything. Seeing this, Lin Zhi spoke tactfully:

"Two cups of green phoenix marrow, moon plum candied fruit, pear strips, peach rings, and bean cake~!"

"Okay, please wait a moment, gentlemen." Zhao Pan'er still smiled, but after turning around and leaving, an unhappy look suddenly appeared on her face.

In fact, Zhao Pan'er knew clearly that a large number of people who came here to drink tea were not coming for her tea, but for her as a person.

For example, the person in front of you is like this. Others are looking at her secretly, but this young man is looking at her directly without any concealment.

This made Zhao Pan'er feel a little embarrassed and annoyed, but what was better than others was that although the look in his eyes when he looked at her was direct, it was clear and contained more appreciation, unlike others whose eyes were full of lust.

Then Zhao Pan'er came to the kitchen and said to Sun Sanniang while making the Green Phoenix Marrow:

"Sanniang, the two guests just ordered plum preserves, pear strips, peach rings, and bean cakes. I'll make the Qingfengsui later and you can take them over!"

"What's wrong?" Sun Sanniang heard this, glanced at Zhao Pan'er's face, frowned, rolled up her sleeves and said:
"Did those two guests bully you?"

"Let's go, Sanniang will help you vent your anger!"

The two had been best friends for many years, and Sun Sanniang could tell at a glance that something was wrong with Zhao Pan'er's face, and she immediately stood up for her good sister.

"Don't!" Zhao Pan'er quickly pulled Sun Sanniang back.

"We are open for business, there is no need to get angry with customers. Besides, they didn't do anything, they just kept looking at me and it made me feel a little nervous!"

"Hey~, I thought it was something else!" Sun Sanniang laughed and said:
"How many of the guests who come here for tea don't come for our Pan'er's beauty?"

"Just look, it won't cost you any money," Sanniang teased in Zhao Pan'er's ear, and then said enviously:
"Besides, you will soon be Madam Ouyang, the wife of a successful scholar. When you go to Beijing to enjoy your peaceful life, these guys won't be able to see you even if they want to!"

"Shh~!" Zhao Pan'er quickly covered Sanniang's mouth and whispered:

"How many times have I told you that you can't talk about my relationship with Ouyang? Scholars care about this the most, and there are many people in Qiantang who know my original identity!"

"Okay, okay, I won't tell you!" Sun Sanniang nodded repeatedly, and then whispered to comfort him:

"You don't have to think too much. Wait until he takes you to the capital, and you wear the phoenix crown and bridal robe like this, and then you never leave the Tianmen Gate or the Second Gate, who will be able to recognize you then?"

After a while, Zhao Paner came to Lin Hao's table with a tray:
"My two guests, your refreshments are here!"
