Chapter 718: One Piece of Incense (Reissue)

"Fifth Sister, what else?" Zhao Huanhuan blinked at Zhao Fujin mischievously, and at the same time stretched out her right hand that looked like a white green.

"You little girl is simply a debt collector. I owe you in my previous life." Emperor Maode turned around and took out an exquisite thread-covered blue book from behind, with three large gilded characters "Journey to the West".

"I just knew that my fifth sister was the best for me."

"If you want to read a book, isn't there in the palace? You have to come to me to make trouble. I think it's the drunkard himself who is not in the bar?"

"Fifth sister, don't guess it. The one in the palace has been broken by Dad and others. I heard that this book has been sold at a sky-high price outside. I haven't read it for a long time, and I'm afraid I'll have no other book. It's a pity that there is no further information." Zhao Huanhuan's eyes showed a helplessness. The only good book I like was so full of no end, which really made her feel a little uncomfortable. This made her think of herself. She could have said a little willful and innocent in the first half of her life. As for the second half of her life, she might have stopped it.

"Who told you that this book "Journey to the West" will not be released?"

"What does the fifth sister mean?"

"Last night, I heard from my father-in-law that the chaos in Western Sichuan has been put down. The young lady Wu Chengen has started to write and continue writing, but..."

"Fifth sister, can you stop keeping it?" Zhao Huanhuan jumped up from the chair with excitement, grabbed one of Zhao Fujin's plump arms, and shook them like a spoiled child.

"I think Wu Chengen, who wrote this "Journey to the West", is someone else. If you don't believe it, you can take a look." After Zhao Fujin finished speaking, he pulled out a thread-bound book from the desk beside him and turned to the middle section. There was a piece of ironed paper covered with creases inside.

Zhao Huanhuan quickly recognized this tabloid "New Youth" from the edge of the corner. She couldn't help but take it out of the thread-bound book, then carefully spread it out on the desk next to her, and saw the big words "Chapter 55". When she saw the follow-up, she didn't care where the fifth sister was chanting, and began to read it like she forgot to read it.

After about a cup of tea, Zhao Huanhuan had two lines of crystal tears hanging on the corner of her eyes, sucking her nose sourly, and shouted depressedly: "How can this be done? Don't Sun Xingzhe have a pair of golden eyes? Can't you tell whether the Queen of Xiliang in front of her is a human or a demon?"

Huang Miaohao made an unforgivable mistake. In a new chapter of "Journey to the West", Sun Xingzhe turned into a small insect. When he saw the Queen of Xiliang kidnapped Tang Sanzang in the cave, he went to kill the Queen of Xiliang without any discrimination. He beat the Queen of Xiliang to death. At that time, this incident caused a lot of controversy in Chengdu. In the afternoon, Huang Miaohao found that the matter was not right, so he came out to clarify that there was another person in the new chapter. However, the Tokyo public knew about this matter, and it was already a month later. Of course, the exception of Grand Master Cai, which made the Roufu Emperor in front of him cry.

"Where did you get your intelligence before? If you compare this book with a new chapter in this tabloid, you will naturally know the difference."

The fifth sister could wake up the dreamer with a word. Zhao Huanhuan wiped her face with Xiang Luo, burst into tears and smiled at Zhao Fujin. After a glance, she began to carefully distinguish the book and the new issue of "New Youth".

"Which bastard did this? I want to kill him." Zhao Huanhuan realized that she was a little out of control. She sniffed to the fifth sister who was staring at her seriously, and ran to the fifth sister again to act like a ghost, making Zhao Fujin smiled bitterly. Only then did she understand why this Nianmei was attracted to her father's favor. She cried when she wanted to cry and laughed innocently. It was not something that other people in this intriguing deep palace could learn.

"Fifth Sister, are you hiding something good on me? The fragrance on your body is a bit special." Zhao Huanhuan's dog nose seemed to smell a special fragrance that she had never smelled before from Zhao Fujin, a bit like a faint orchid, mixed with a little charming and rich peony. The two smells are soft and strong, intertwined just right.

"Are you a dog?" Zhao Fujin hurriedly vomited. She knew that her father hated others to mention the word "dog" the most, so she quickly turned her mind: "There are strange things every year, and this year it's a lot. I miss you, you'll catch up with the good time, give it to me."

Zhao Fujin handed Zhao Huanhuan a special small porcelain bottle. Compared with the exquisite vessels Zhao Huanhuan had seen, the small porcelain bottle in front of her seemed too ordinary, but she couldn't help but be curious and carefully pulled out the block on the small porcelain bottle. Suddenly, a special smell of smell lingered around the two of them. What's even more strange is that the two colorful butterflies were also attracted by this fragrant smell. They danced around the two of them. Zhao Huanhuan mischievously sprinkled a few drops of this precious liquid on the hem of the skirt, and then swayed in the room and turned into a third butterfly, chasing each other and laughing, making Zhao Fujin Xinxin on the side envious.

I don’t know how long it took, when Zhao Huanhuan stopped, her whole body was already sweating profusely. Zhao Fujin, who was beside her, handed over a Xiangluo. Zhao Huanhuan grabbed the other party’s hand and exhaled as if she was still satisfied: “Fifth sister, Brother Cai Liu came up with new tricks again?”

The sixth brother of Cai who Zhao Fujin mentioned was Cai You, the son of Cai Jing. Cai You is currently the Grand Secretary of Xuanhe Palace and the governor of Huaikang Army. His official rank is the second rank. He was promoted to the Secretariat, the Etiquette Bureau, the Daolu Academy and the Shangqing Baolu Palace. Although he was not knowledgeable, he regarded himself as the leader of the Third Hall. However, these matters were written by his confidants Wu Min, Liu Tong and others. His main energy was to be in charge of the items used in the imperial court, most of which came from Guangdong, Guangxi, Fujian and Liangzhe. Those who obeyed him directly were Xu Ti, Guangdong Transportation Commissioner Yan Ying, and Guangzhou Governor

Cheng Lin, the governor of Qiongzhou Guo Yi, the governor of Quanzhou Cai Xun, and the governor of Mingzhou Zhou Zhi. Most of these officials were from Fujian, and were originally Cai Jing's party members, but now they have been transferred to the name of the eldest son. Among them, the capable generals were Xu Ti and Yan Ying, who served as the Guangzhou Maritime Site. The Maritime Site is an institution of foreign trade, with the highest trade volume of Guangzhou Maritime Site. It imports a large amount of spices, rhinoceros horns, ivory, beads, amber, tortoiseshell, etc. from overseas every year, mainly for the enjoyment of the royal family and nobles, and is also used for trade profits.

Spices are the bulk of imported goods. After import, it is very popular in China and makes the most profits. It is also an important income in the national treasury. Ambergris is the most expensive and is originally a secretion in the stomach of sperm whales. Every spring, whales swim on the sea in the Great Food Kingdom (now Arab countries), and the waves stir up the clouds and leave the Ambergris on the sea. Local residents collect it in boats according to the sperm whales' activities. This fragrance is also sold by the state in the Great Food Kingdom and is extremely strict in control. Merchants named it Ambergris because the Han people worship the dragon.

When the precious ambergris was imported in Guangzhou, it had reached 100,000 guan per liang, and the price doubled after being shipped to Bianjing. The most expensive ambergris was as high as 150,000 guan per liang, only 2 guan was bought by Yuzhen Anfei. When this incense floated in water, fish were gathered to lavender and scented bedrooms, and the fragrance continued throughout the years. In addition to ambergris, a large number of imported spices were agarwood, sandalwood, cardamom, etc., which were used by wealthy families to make lavenders, sachets, incense balls, and also used spices to combine food and stir-fry soup. Since the Daoism has been rising, incense has been burned day and night in the Taoist palace, and the demand for spices has surged, and it seems that there is no supply in demand.

Quanzhou and Mingzhou, under Cai Xun and Zhou Zhi, both had Maritime Trade Departments, but the trade volume was far different from Guangzhou. Imported spices, rhinoceros horns, beads, etc. were expensive, but exported porcelain, silk, gold, silver and treasures were also at a high price. The Maritime Trade Department made a lot of profits between one in and one out. With the support of Cai Jing and Cai You, these local officials and officials of the Maritime Trade Department gathered public and private property in Guangdong, Guangxi, Fujian and Zhejiang, and accepted bribes. The prefectures and counties they passed by were in the pretext of purchasing imperial goods.

, robbed the official warehouse. When the imperial goods, including imported goods, were transported to the capital, a large part of them belonged to Cai You and the eunuchs. Later, Cai You had more and more party members in the Sanguan and various places, and finally established his own business and publicly competed for power and profit with the old master. His eldest son Cai Xing was also promoted to the Bachelor of Baohe Palace, serving the emperor's food, medicine, and travel, serving the emperor, and was extremely favored. He was the emperor and married the nobles, and he became a high-ranking official in the ranks of nobles.

Cai You (1077-1126), whose courtesy name was Ju'an, was a native of Xinghua Xianyou. He was the eldest son of the Grand Secretary Cai Jing at the end of the Northern Song Dynasty.

During the Yuanfu period of Emperor Zhezong of Song Dynasty, Cai You was in charge of the Beijing Institute of Practice. At that time, he was only twenty-two or three years old. He knew that he had seized every opportunity to pave the way for his future. At that time, Cai You could catch up with the court officials to retreat when he went to the court. Even if he planned to come out, he would come out so that he could meet Zhao Ji, the Duan King who was in the court. Therefore, every time he went to the court, he could see a handsome young man with a few years older than him, standing aside with a handsome face, humble and politeness, and be able to see him. King Duan asked the servants at the left and right, which family the young man was, and said to him, "It is the son of Cai Chengzhi." King Duan secretly remembered him in his heart.

In the third year of Chongning (1104 AD), Emperor Huizong of Song Dynasty granted the title of Honglu Cai You as a Jinshi, and was appointed as the Secretary-General, and was compiled by Zhi Secret Pavilion and Jixian Hall, and edited the "National Court Huiyao". Within two years, he was promoted to the direct scholar of the Privy Council. After Cai Jing became prime minister, he added Cai You as the scholar and attendant of Longtu Pavilion, and detailed the "Dacheng Tuzhi", compiled the "Daician", and promoted the "Shangqing Baolu official, the two streets of the Secretariat and the Lecture Bureau. At that time, more than a hundred Taoist officials who prepared the scriptures and compiled the scriptures were mostly talented and knowledgeable people from the History Museum, Fuwenguan, and Jixian Academy. Only Cai You was confused and did not know how to learn. As the son of a minister, many people were despised and did not accept it. In the fifth year of Zhenghe (1115 AD), Emperor Huizong of Song Dynasty initially established the Xuanhe Palace and appointed him as the Grand Secretary of the Xuanhe Palace, and gave him a blanket, Wenfang Group and Jinbao, and changed it to the Jiedushi of the Huaikang Army.

Cai You initially had a very harmonious relationship with his father Cai Jing. He knew that Cai Jing was like a tree covering the sky and sun, covering hundreds of people in the Cai family. Song Huizong later wanted to stop Cai Jing from being the prime minister, and first stopped Cai Jing's partymate Liu Bing, Liu Huan and others, and ordered the Censor Wang Anzhong to impeach Cai Jing. Cai You heard about this and immediately ran to Huizong to beg every time, and Song Huizong changed his original intention.

Later, Cai You and Cai Jing fought against each other, and some people were soliciting it, so the father and son broke up and turned against each other. Huizong also gave Cai You's mansion, and the father and son set up their own families. Once Cai You came to Cai Jing's mansion and happened to talk to the guest. Cai Jing asked the guest to wait. When Cai You came in, he rushed forward and grabbed his father's hand to take the pulse, saying, "The connections are soothing, are there any discomfort?" Cai Jing said, "No discomfort."

The place to obey." So Cai You said again, "There is something important in the palace, I'll go back first." After that, he turned around and left. He came and went in a hurry, and made the guest a monk - he was confused and asked Cai Jing: "Why don't you stop for a moment?" Cai Jing said helplessly: "You must not understand the reason. This rebellious son wanted to be sick because I was sick!" A few days later, Song Huizong indeed issued an edict to order Cai Jing to retire.

In the fourth year of Xuanhe (1122), Tong Guan conquered Yanyun, and Cai You became the deputy Xuanfu. Cai You was naive and ignorant, and believed that his achievements were at your fingertips. When he entered the palace and said goodbye, two beautiful concubines served Song Huizong. Cai You pointed at them and asked, "I have returned successfully. Please reward them to me." Song Huizong smiled, but did not blame him. Guo Yaoshi, the remaining subordinate of Zhuozhou, led his troops to offer Zhuo, Yi and the two prefectures surrendered to Song, and Cai You was moved to Shaofu. The Song army entered Yanjing, and Cai You was promoted to Shaoshi and named Duke of England. After returning to the court, Cai You led the Privy Council. Wang Fu was dismissed. Song Huizong wanted to reuse Cai You, but soon regretted it, so he promoted him to Taibao and changed his title to Duke of Yan.

In the sixth year of Xuanhe (1124), Cai Jing, who once made a comeback, was ordered to retire again. Tong Guan and Cai You were ordered to resign. Cai Jing said: "I should have resigned long ago, but I couldn't bear to retire because I had not repayed my kindness. This is what the second minister knew." Cai Jing laughed when he saw Cai Jing calling his son Cai You the "public".

Just when their ignorant monarchs and scammers were enjoying their lives and squandered their feelings, the Jin army marched south in large numbers. In the first year of Jingkang (1126), Song Huizong wanted to abdicate Song Qinzong, so he personally wrote the word "Sending the Territory to the East Palace" and gave it to Li Bangyan. Li Bangyan did not dare to accept it after retreating, so Song Huizong handed it over to Cai You. After Cai You retreated, he handed it to his clerk Wu Min, and agreed on the matter.

In the same year, Cai You followed Huizong to the south. When he returned to the capital, he was demoted to Taizhong Doctor, and then placed him in Yongzhou and transferred to Xunzhou and Leizhou in succession. After Cai Jing passed away, the censor said that Cai You's crimes were no less than his father. The battle in Yanshan caused the clan society. His arrogance and extravagance exceeded the historical records and he should be exiled to the island. Emperor Qinzong of Song issued an edict to place him in Wan'an Army. Soon, he sent envoys to kill him where he went. He died at the age of 49.
