After wiping his face with cold water and barely driving away the drowsiness, Kang Peng rushed to Chang'an Cheng Terrace with a fat belly to ask for peace to the honorary emperor, because he hastily hijacked Emperor Xian to Chang'an, and it was too late to build a palace for Emperor Han Xian, Kang Peng temporarily arranged the emperor in the original Yongzhou Thorn History Yamen under the Cheng Terrace, although the material conditions are much better than the current Luoyang, but the style is naturally better than the Luoyang Palace that the Han Dynasty has painstakingly operated for hundreds of years. It's just that Kang Peng's foundation in Yongzhou is stable, and these scholars and Confucian scholars who are afraid that the world will not be chaotic only dare to say behind their backs that if they dare to accuse Kang Peng in public in Chang'an, they will have to be divided into pieces by the new interest groups in Chang'an.

Yongzhou Thorn History Yamen was originally Dong Zhuojun's meeting hall, when Kang Peng's car arrived, a large group of people had gathered in front of the yamen, Kang Peng began to think that it was an old stubborn in the Shilin with protégés and students to worship the little emperor, but when I got closer, it was not right, they were all a group of family members, grooms and servants dressed up, those people stared at the Luoyang officials who came and went, and knelt down and kowtowed when they saw Kang Peng, and the two people led by them also cried loudly, when Kang Peng looked closely, it was the two richest people in Chang'an, Ai Quan and Ma Zhan.

Because of his busy official duties, after Kang Peng returned to Chang'an, he only posthumously named Ai Jin and Ma Zhuang as Pavilion Marquis, and he didn't have time to meet the Chang'an tycoons whose two sons sacrificed their lives for Dong Zhuojun, and they couldn't wait to meet Kang Peng. Kang Peng felt ashamed, hurriedly got out of the car and personally helped the two of them, and wept and said: "Two, I'm sorry for you, you sent your son to the army, but Lone let them die on the front line, I'm sorry for you." ”

"The king, the villain doesn't dare to be a villain." The white and chubby Ai Quan cried: "Although my angry son has a thin life, he is the pride of my family, don't worry, the king, those family members and men who sacrificed in my family don't want the king to pay a penny for the pension, and their families are all supported by my Ai family." Crying here, Ai Quan beckoned behind him, a young man who looked very similar to Ai Quan came over and knelt at Kang Peng's feet, Ai Quan cried again: "Wang, this is the villain's second son Ai Yu, and those family members and guys behind are all from villains, and the villain wants to ask the king to take them in as an army, to fight Cao Cao and Liu Bei, two national thieves, and avenge their younger brother and brother." ”

Ma Zhan, who was crying to death, also said: "The king, the villain only has two sons, one died, and the other must stay with the villain to help with the business, but the villain has three nephews, and the villain has all brought them, as well as some horsemen in the villain's house, please take them in too, and the villain will donate a thousand horses, please the king must eliminate Liu Bei and Cao Cao, and avenge the villain's children." ”

Kang Peng's heart was moved, and he cried and agreed to Ai Quan and Ma Zhan's request, at this time, Kang Peng's heart moved, wiped away his tears and said: "Two righteous businessmen, there is a plan to eliminate Cao Cao and Liu Bei, and you need the full cooperation of you and the merchants of Yongjiliang Sanzhou. Before Kang Peng finished speaking, Ai Quan and Ma Zhan had already patted their chests and said, "The king, please say, as long as we can avenge our son and ask us how much money we want, we will never frown." ”

"It's not for you to pay." Kang Peng looked at the people and officials watching left and right, and knew that this was not the place to speak, so he pulled the two of them to Yongzhou Assassin Shi Yamen, the current nominal palace, this time Kang Peng could anger the Shilin Confucian scholars and officials loyal to the Han family who came to pay homage to the holy face, and the two young Confucian officials promoted by Dong Cheng stopped Kang Peng and Ai, Ma and others.

Geng has hugged his fists and said: "King, since ancient times, there is a difference between respect and inferiority, the four industries of Shinong industry and commerce, and the merchant is a cheap industry, how can you enter and leave the Long Live Palace at will?" Wei Huang also hugged his fists and said: "The great prince is a prince, and walking hand in hand with a businessman is really unseemly and immoral!" ”

Kang Peng didn't bother to look at them, raised his fat legs with the thickness of an ordinary person's waist, and kicked the two of them to the ground in front of everyone. The beloved sons of these two merchants both sacrificed their lives for the country, and sent their other sons and nephews to serve in the army. ”

"Thirty slaps per person, see if they dare to teach Lone a lesson in the future?" Kang Peng first announced the punishment of Geng Ji and Wei Huang, and then appointed: "Ai Quan and Ma Zhan are loyal to the country, loyal and commendable, each give filial piety and honesty, and give a pair of lonely gold medals. ”

Ai Quan and Ma Zhan are grateful, although the businessman is rich, but his social status is low, he has to kneel and bow when he meets an official casually, and the etiquette privilege of Kang Peng's reward is exactly what the two of them dream of, and the surrounding Luoyang Shilin Confucian students saw Kang Peng so rampant, and they all felt resentful, but because of Kang Peng's power, they didn't dare to say it, but their faces were sad.

At this time, Kang Peng, who had good eyesight, suddenly found that two people walked out of the palace, and when he saw Kang Peng's car, he avoided it from afar, one of them was Dong Cheng, who couldn't get along with Kang Peng, and the other was dressed as a doctor. More and more cunning Kang Peng was puzzled, and quietly explained a few words to the captain of the pro-soldier book, that booked Guang was the third brother of Kang Peng's first two pro-soldier captains and book, after the two brothers sacrificed their lives to protect Kang Peng, the bookkeeper was in pain, and sent the third son to Kang Peng's side as a soldier, and his loyalty to Kang Peng can be seen.

The Imperial Forest Army guarding the other palace are all Kang Peng's henchmen, and according to Kang Peng's explanation, a secret room was arranged for Kang Peng to talk to Ai and Ma, Kang Peng basically introduced his strategy to the two of them: "The two righteous merchants, Gu has decided to eliminate Cao Cao and Liu Bei's plan, but most of Lone's army is contained in Xinzhan County, and it is impossible to concentrate superior forces in a short period of time, so Gu decided to take a defensive position against Cao Cao and Liu Bei within three years, let them run rampant for three years, and wait for the attack alone, consuming their money, food, population, weapons and resources, When their potential is exhausted, Lone will concentrate on the main force again, and he can defeat the two thieves in one battle and avenge your son. ”

Ai Quan and Ma Zhan glanced at each other, neither of them knew much about military affairs, Ma Zhan said, "King, then what can we help you?" ”

"I hope that you two of the biggest businessmen in Chang'an will come forward and organize a chamber of commerce." Kang Peng confessed: "Gu decided to adopt an economic blockade against Liu Bei and Cao Cao, cutting off their sources of strategic materials such as grain, cloth, horses, steel, and weapons. The officials and businessmen can control it, and the people and businessmen will ask the two of you to come forward to organize, and the army will be sent to assist from the side. ”

"It's too easy." Ai Quan jumped three feet high, patted his chest and said: "King, it's not that the villain boasts, the villain has mastered thirty percent of the country's grain trafficking and twenty percent of the cloth trafficking, and the country's largest iron merchant is the villain's in-laws, and the villain came forward to ensure that others dare not trade with Cao Cao and Liu Bei." ”

"The villain controls forty percent of the country's mule, donkey and horse business." Ma Zhan said arrogantly: "Don't worry, king, whoever dares to sell a livestock to Cao Cao and Liu Bei, the villain will take people to smash his shop and spread the foot-and-mouth disease to their homes, so that they can no longer do mule and horse business." ”

"Violence is just the last option." Kang Peng said leisurely: "You all know that Gu has never liked to use violence against businessmen, as long as Gu's policy can continue, within two hundred years, businessmen will no longer be the last of the four industries, but will be the first businessman, at that time, the country is no longer Shilin has the final say, but you businessmen have the final say." ”

Ai Quan and Ma Zhan were dumbfounded, they didn't dare to imagine Kang Peng's words, Kang Peng smiled again: "I want you to organize the Chamber of Commerce for another purpose, which is to let you unite, gain the right to speak, and be able to cooperate closely with the country to build an empire on which the sun never sets, and contribute to the establishment of an empire that never sets for my descendants in China, and your eyes should not be limited to the land of the Han Dynasty, the outside world is bigger, and there are more opportunities to make money, you think about it, if you can cooperate with Gu to conquer the countries of Goguryeo, Tianzhu, Dashi and Jiaozhi, as well as the westernmost Great Qin State." How much wealth can we create for our country and you by turning the people of those countries into slaves of the people of our Han country......"

……

When Kang Peng was in the palace of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty to publicize how the merchants were in power to violently expand and conquer the world, outside the door of Jia Xu's house outside the west city of Chang'an, a pair of mother and son in ordinary clothes came, and the beautiful mother trembled and knocked on the door of Jia Xu's house, and after a while, the servant of Jia Xu's family opened the door and saw that although the mother was dressed ordinarily, she had a noble temperament, and couldn't help but wonder: "This lady, is there anything wrong with you?" ”

"I'm tired of informing Jia Junshi." The mother whispered: "Princess Liu Xian of King Kang and Dong Yi, the eldest son of King Kang, came to the door to ask to see Jia Junshi, and asked Jia Junshi to meet him. "This mother is the princess of Anyang who was cold to Kang Peng, after the incident of Cai Wenji's mother and son bullying Dong Yi this morning, Princess Anyang hid in the room and hugged her son and cried for a long time, although Princess Anyang has a cowardly personality, but after all, she grew up in the palace since she was a child, and she was somewhat scheming, thinking about it, Princess Anyang decided to take her son to Kang Peng's most trusted Jia Xu's house for advice, hoping that Jia Xu could help, so as not to let her son suffer from others.

The servant of Jia Xu's family opened his mouth wide, and when he saw Princess Anyang take out the gold medal of King Kang's Mansion, he was so frightened that he quickly knelt down and kowtowed to Princess Anyang a few times, got up and rushed into the inner report, Princess Anyang took Dong Yi into the gatehouse quickly, so as not to be discovered by others, but after a while, I didn't see Jia Xu come out to greet her, only the inexplicable servant in my heart came out and replied: "Back to the princess, my family occasionally suffers from wind disease and can't see guests, princess, please go back first, and then come to the door to apologize after my family is healed." ”

Princess Anyang knew that the old fox Jia Xu refused to meet him because of his illness, so as not to provoke the fire, so she knelt down to the servant in a hurry, and the sensible Dong Yi also knelt down with her mother, scared the servant to the point of distraction, kowtowed: "Princess, prince, you have killed the villain, you have killed the villain." ”

"Please inform Jia Junshi again." Princess Anyang choked up and said: "Liu Xian's mother and son's lives are only on the horizon, begging Jia Junshi to meet Liu Xian's mother and son for the last time, Liu Xian died without regrets, otherwise, Liu Xian's mother and son are willing to kneel and die here." ”

The servant was helpless, so he had to rush to the house again, and after a while, the helpless Jia Xu had no choice but to greet Princess Anyang's mother and son into the hall, without waiting for Jia Xu to ask Princess Anyang's intentions, Princess Anyang took Dong Yi to kneel down to Jia Xu, Princess Anyang cried: "Ask the military advisor for help, save my poor child." ”

Jia Xu was shocked, hurriedly drove away the servants, helped Princess Anyang's mother and son up, and asked, "Where did the princess say this?" Who can hurt the eldest prince? How can Jia Xu be virtuous, and how can he save the eldest prince? ”

"Strategist, you know, my hard-working child has not been loved by the king since he was a child." Princess Anyang choked up and said: "Originally, the great kingdom was busy, and it was impossible to take care of every child, but his life was hard, but he was the eldest son of the king, so he became a thorn in the side of some people, and became a stumbling block, and his life could be threatened anytime and anywhere, and on weekdays, I don't know how much torture he has suffered......"

After Princess Anyang cried and complained about Cai Wenji's mother and son's bullying and torture of Dong Yi, Jia Xu fell into deep thought, to be honest, Jia Xu was also very strange why Kang Peng didn't love Dong Yi, the eldest son who should be the heir, but liked Dong Peng, and when he was in Maicheng, Kang Peng, who was almost dead, left his last words, asking Jia Xu and Li Ru and others to support Dong Peng to succeed him, which is simply completely unreasonable.

"Strategist." Princess Anyang cried: "Liu Xian's son fell in love with his father, Liu Xian didn't dare to hope that he could become a son, I only hope that he can grow up peacefully and live a good life, not like Liu Xian." ”

"Princess, this is a royal family matter." Jia Xu shirked and said: "Jia Xu is an outsider, and he can't interfere and can't interfere." "The old and sophisticated Jia Xu never goes to provoke the fire, and it is easy to help Princess Anyang's mother and son, but once Cai Wenji's tigress knows, then Jia Xu is a yellow mud crotch - not but.

"Strategist." Princess Anyang trembled and took out a letter from her bosom and cried: "This is left by Mrs. Li before she died, when Liu Xian took the child to visit Mrs. Li who was seriously ill. Mrs. Li handed the letter to Anyang and asked Anyang to send it to the military advisor in times of crisis. ”

"Xianjia's suicide note?" Jia Xu was surprised, quickly opened the sealed letter, the letter was Li Ru's familiar font, the letter wrote: "Mr. Wenhe, when you see this letter, Li Ru is no longer in the world, Li Ru has nothing else to ask for, only to ask Mr. to protect my father-in-law's bloodline, not to let him be bullied, not to be assassinated, Mr. once taught Li Ru not to participate in the battle for succession, but Li Ru still wants to beg Mr., don't let that woman gain power, otherwise, she will be the second Empress Lu." Li Ru's masterpiece. ”

Looking at Li Ru's suicide note, thinking of the friendship of the past, Jia Xu couldn't help but cry quietly, at this time, Jia Xu found that someone was pulling the corners of his clothes, looking down, but it was Dong Yi who was already kneeling on the ground, Dong Yi's beautiful big eyes were full of tears, and he cried in a childish childish voice: "Military advisor, please, don't let my mother cry, she cries every night, sometimes she cries in front of me, sometimes she cries behind my back, but I know that I don't want my mother to cry." ”

"That's it." Jia Xu sighed, hugged Dong Yi, and asked Princess Anyang: "The eldest prince is almost six years old, I don't know who he learned from him?" Who do you learn martial arts from? ”

"Wencai learned from the Hongru invited by the king, and the king occasionally taught him some." Princess Anyang wiped her tears and said, "Martial arts are learned from his Mrs. Jiuniangwen. Fortunately, although Anyang's son has a hard life, he is still smart, and he can learn everything as soon as he learns. Speaking of which, Princess Anyang was sad again, and it was precisely because of Dong Yi's intelligence and sensibility that she attracted the jealousy of others.

"Not enough." Jia Xu's face was gloomy, and he said gloomily: "From today on, please ask the princess to add some homework to the eldest prince, in addition to learning martial arts from Mrs. Wen, Mrs. Ma, the wife of Pingdong General Zhao Yun, has the best martial arts from Zhao and Ma, and the princess can let the eldest prince learn martial arts from Mrs. Ma, preferably from a teacher." As for literary talents, they can't optical the subset of classics and history, and they also have to learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, Wen Hou loves his concubine Mink Zen and is proficient, and the princess came forward to beg her, I believe that Mrs. Mink Chan will definitely teach the eldest prince. ”

Princess Anyang was confused at first, and then understood Jia Xu's intentions, and wanted to bow down to Jia Xu under great joy, Jia Xu hurriedly stopped her, and said: "To say something disrespectful, if the king has any illness on weekdays, the princess and the prince must not be too hard, and must guard the king day and night." When the king goes on an expedition, the eldest prince doesn't say anything to congratulate, just pull the corner of the king's clothes and cry, just like just now. ”

After Jia Xu's guidance, Princess Anyang woke up like a dream, thanked her again and again, and said inch by inch: "That being the case, Liu Xian wants Yi'er to worship the military master as a teacher, and treat the military teacher with a master-apprentice courtesy in the future, I don't know if the military teacher is willing to deign to teach the child?" ”

"Nope." Jia Xu refused, and said gently: "Princess, it's not that Jia Xu is arrogant, Jia Xu is for the good of the eldest prince, and some things are better not to be public than to be public." ”

After instructing the servants to send Princess Anyang away from the back door, Jia Xu read Li Ru's suicide note repeatedly, and unconsciously burst into tears again, Jia Xu smiled bitterly with tears: "Xianjia, I was pitted by you." ”

……

In the evening of the same day, Kang Peng suddenly sent someone to invite Jia Xu, Jia Xu was taken aback, almost thought that his support for Princess Anyang's mother and son had been exposed, and when he came to King Kang's mansion in fear, Kang Peng was walking around the study alone, as if there was one thing that needed to be carefully considered, seeing Jia Xu come in, Kang Peng beckoned: "Mr. Wenhe, you sit down for a while, Zilong will come soon, and there will be a decision to discuss with you." ”

Seeing that Kang Peng's attitude was kind, not like he was angry, Jia Xu felt a little calmer, sat down for a while, Zhao Yun really arrived, Kang Peng listened to the footsteps, and said in a low voice: "I found one thing alone......"

……

When Jia Xu and Zhao Yun came out of Kang Peng's study, Jia Xu's mood was already much lighter, it seemed that Princess Anyang asked for advice from him, Kang Peng didn't know, otherwise he would not have arranged such a plan at this juncture, maybe Li Ru was blessing the poor Princess Anyang mother and son in the spirit of heaven in the dark.

Jia Xu was in contemplation, a stream of cold water suddenly poured on his face, and there was the sound of children's laughter, Jia Xu looked, Dong Peng, the little overlord of King Kang's Mansion, was standing in the flowers with a bamboo water gun and laughing, and Zhao Yun next to him shouted: "Second prince, this is Jia Junshi, don't be rude." ”

"What military advisor?" Dong Peng said with a grin: "It's not my father's subordinate, what is it?" After speaking, Dong Peng raised the water gun and wanted to pour Jia Xu again, at this time Dong Yi ran from afar, Jia Xu was also worried that Dong Yi was ignorant and broke his relationship with him, but Dong Yi didn't seem to see Jia Xu, he snatched Dong Peng's water gun and ran, Dong Peng scolded and chased after him.

Listening to Dong Peng's cry in the backyard of King Kang's Mansion and Cai Wenji's shouting and scolding of Dong Yi, Zhao Yun said helplessly: "Don't blame the military advisor, the second prince is too spoiled by the king and the fourth lady, and he is not sensible. Jia Xu smiled on his face, smiling in his heart, and was noncommittal.

……

In the early morning two days later, Chang'an City suddenly became martial law, and a shocking news came from King Kang's Mansion that Dong Zhuo, King Kang, was assassinated at home! King Kang's body is highly poisoned, and his life is on the verge of death, and the divine doctor Hua Tuo is helpless, and the palace announced that the assassin has been caught, and the assassin turned out to be King Kang's sister-in-law Fu Shou, she poisoned King Kang's diet, and His Royal Highness King Kang was caught off guard and was poisoned by her. It was announced to the public that it was King Kang's dietary poisoning, but a few people who knew the inside story knew that Fu Shou was poisoned by smearing poison on **, **His Royal Highness King Kang, and His Royal Highness King Kang was poisoned, but this poisoning method was really appalling, and Dong Zhuojun's high-level officials had no shame to announce the facts, so they changed their words and said that His Royal Highness King Kang was poisoned by food......
