Chapter 46: Dong Taishi's Commendation
Where to get food? Go up there and get so much food? On the way home, Kang Peng has always been sad, those who know know that he is worried because of the food for the disaster victims to spend the winter, and those who don't know, such as the two living treasure brothers of Boss Dong, are going to arrest Zhang Zhongjing for him again.
"Master, are you worried about food?" Sima Yi, who had been following Kang Peng, came to Kang Peng's horse and said cautiously.
"Yes, there are so many victims, even if the grain from Yong and the two states is transported over, I am afraid that the time will not be able to catch up." Kang Peng replied casually, and Kang Peng glanced at the future old fox again, "You ask the true picture like this, do you have any way?" β
Sima Yi's young face suddenly appeared with a wicked smile that only an old fox can have, ignoring the gesture of dissuasion from his eldest brother Sima Lang, "Taishi, I am a child, can you adopt my idea?" β
Kang Peng became interested, stared at the little fox and said with a smile: "Kong Rong can make pears at the age of six, and Ganluo can worship the prime minister at the age of twelve, and the talent is not old, as long as you say it well, of course the appearance can be adopted." β
After all, Sima Yi is still a child now, and he was carried away by Kang Peng's praise, Sima Yi smiled proudly: "Taishi, in fact, my brother and I came up with it when we saw Miss Cai use our own food to help the victims, Lord Cai is a recognized clean official, and his family can have so much grain in stock, what about those unclear officials?" β
Kang Peng patted his head and exclaimed, "Ah, why did you forget this?" Kang Peng took the opportunity to pull a little fox, jumped off the horse and patted his head, "Your name is Sima Yi?" How old are you this year? β
Sima Yi pointed at Sima Lang and replied: "Hui Taishi, he is my eldest brother, surnamed Sima Lang Boda, born in filial piety. β
Kang Pengqi said: "This is asking you, how do you introduce your brother?" β
Sima Yi's face was serious, as if he knew very well and said: "Brother is here, how dare my brother take the lead?" That serious look made it difficult for him to do anything in the future.
Kang Peng didn't blink his eyes, turned his head to Sima Lang and said, "Boda, your father Sima Fang used to be Jing Zhaoyin, right?" Since you are in Luoyang, don't go back and take your father's place. Kang Peng didn't care whether Sima Lang agreed or refused, and turned his head to Sima Yi and said, "Yi'er, I love you very much, are you willing to worship this minister as your father-in-law?" β
Sima Yi was overjoyed, and immediately knelt down and kowtowed: "The child visits his father-in-law." Kang Peng laughed and picked Sima Yi up, "Good boy! β
Sima Lang is in a hurry, he and Sima Yi's father are still alive, and he privately worships his father-in-law without his father's permission, which is a big unfilial act, but Sima Lang saw his younger brother and Dong Zhuo's affectionate appearance, sighed, and still didn't stop it, his brother's fame and fortune are too strong. However, Sima Lang thought about it, it is also very beneficial for his family to climb the high branch of Dong Zhuo, at least he can be majestic, and although Dong Zhuo is treacherous and vicious, he is indeed for the country and the people, under his hands, he will be reused, and he can also get what he wishes in life.
Kang Peng's gloomy face for a day finally smiled, although he didn't catch Zhuge Liang, he could accept Sima Yi as his righteous son, not only can he use his cunning and poisonous tricks, but he doesn't have to worry about him being used by others, when the world is calm, he only needs to ......, and Sima Yi's eldest brother, although he is not good at military planning, but he is a first-class internal affairs expert, which is what his subordinates need most.
Kang Peng returned home with a smile, and immediately gathered everyone in the house and all his henchmen to introduce his new righteous son to Dong Lao's family, Sima Yi was younger than Dong Wei, and he became the little master of Dong Mansion, and sent someone to Hanoi to pick up Sima Yi's family.
After everyone congratulated Kang Peng and Sima Yi, Kang Peng immediately summoned the strategists and Sima brothers into the study to discuss Sima Yi's proposal. After Kang Peng said his thoughts, Li Ru immediately objected, "Father-in-law, we have offended everyone in the Shi clan, we should try to save it, and if we do this again, not only will Shilin completely stand on the opposite side of us, but even the hearts of the hundred officials who have been finally saved will also deviate from our vests!" Jia Xu and Li Ru didn't say a word, Jia Xu didn't know what to think, and Lu Su was not a scholar, and because of his wealthy family, he was often bullied by everyone in the scholar clan, and he hated everyone in the scholar clan.
Kang Peng snorted heavily, "If they want to hate me, hate me, sooner or later, I will kill them all, no, let them all go bankrupt, let them taste what it is like to starve to death!" Don't say it, just do it! β
Li Ru was anxious, and knelt down from the table, "Father-in-law thinks twice, you are now a very human minister, under one person, above ten thousand, if you advance, you will be the supreme of ninety-five, and you can retreat from the princess Wandai, whether you are advancing or retreating, you can't do without the support of everyone in the Shi clan!" Li Ru was in a hurry, and even said that Kang Peng wanted to usurp the throne, but fortunately, there were only a few people in this room, and the Sima brothers were also well-behaved people, so there was no need to worry about leaking.
Kang Peng knew that in fact, the most loyal person to him was Li Ru, but he was poisoned by the ideology of the feudal scholars, and always thought that the scholars were the pillars of the dynasty, and nothing could be done without the scholars, but he knew that the replacement of the dynasty was actually to overthrow the old scholars and create a new scholars, and when his power was strong enough to create a new scholars, he was not afraid that they would not come back and surrender obediently. So Kang Peng waved his hand and said: "Xianjia, you don't need to persuade me, I have made up my mind." First, a notice was sent to them to voluntarily donate food, telling them that the more food they donated, the greater the knighthood. For those who do not donate or donate less, then act according to the plan. β
Li Ru was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, and his words were already crying, "Father-in-law, father-in-law, think twice......" Jia Xu pulled him up, "Xianjia, needless to say, it is important for us to prepare food for the victims." β
Jia Xu and Lu Su almost put Li Ru out, after going out, Li Ru was still crying and yelling, he must Kang Peng take back his life, Jia Xu covered Li Ru's mouth, and whispered in his ear: "Xianjia, have you forgotten my strategy?" The cycle of heavenly principles, if it is not broken, it will not stand, and it will be broken and ......"

After only half a day of calming Luoyang City, Dong Zhuojun sent the orders of Taishi Dong Zhuo to every dignitary with great efficiency, asking them to donate their own food reserves to relieve the victims, work together to tide over the difficulties, and Dong Taishi made a promise that those who donate a certain amount of food will be awarded the title of marquis!
This is a hundred military officials can be fried, they were originally dissatisfied with Dong Zhuo's many times in the past to snatch and exploit the scholars, but I didn't expect Dong Zhuo to extend his claws to them this time, to change the usual, these officials may also take out some food, for their sons-in-law and others to change the future, but now it is different, in the year of the catastrophe, it was burned again, Luoyang City has been fighting rice ten times, these officials also have to leave a way back for themselves, and if they want to take the opportunity to make a big profit, they will also hand over the grain in their hands. As a result, Dong Zhuojun worked all afternoon, and in the evening, only a few people such as Ma Ridan, Zhu Xi, and Dong Cheng donated the family's rich grain reserves, and the others also donated, but basically they all handed over three buckets and five buckets to cope with errands, and even more, while moving the family's grain to the grain store and selling it at a high price for huge profits, while shouting to the court that the poor only pay one and a half buckets. The ordinary people who went to Luoyang, when they heard that it was Dong Taishi who collected food for the relief of the victims, they saved as much surplus food as possible from their own families and sent it to Dong Zhuojun.
At the beginning, the hundred officials were also worried that the 'Demon King' Dong Zhuo would turn his face under the extreme corruption and use force against himself, but to the surprise of the hundred officials, Dong Zhuo not only did not turn his face, but also sent himself a commendation - a pair of lanterns framed on yellow paper, which said Help the poor and charity, hang them above the gate for them, the hundred officials breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that the 'Demon King' wants to help the victims by himself but decorate the faΓ§ade, he doesn't want to turn his face with himself.
But in the evening, the east gate of Luoyang City suddenly opened, and the victims who were usually not allowed to enter the city suddenly swarmed into Luoyang City, crowded on the streets of Luoyang like a flood and tsunami. There are also those grain stores that have hoarded large quantities of grain that are also unlucky, and someone has painted an X with white powder on the outside of their store, and the victims of the disaster have begun to loot under the leadership of some people who have violated the law and discipline, and they have grabbed not even a single grain left. Overnight, hundreds of thousands of victims entered and exited Luoyang City several times, and the grain of hundreds of officials' families was snatched clean by the victims with their hands and shoulders, just like locusts sweeping the earth......
The strangest thing is that the soldiers of Dong Zhuojun who have been enforcing the curfew in Luoyang City for several days seem to be missing, and they can't see half of them, and there are also some officials' families or dignitaries who personally go to Dong Zhuojun's cantonment for help, but the Dong Zhuojun soldiers in the cantonment told them that General Gao Shun, who is in charge of Luoyang's public security, went to drink flower wine, but I don't know that it was in that Qinglou brothel, without General Gao's order, no one is allowed to mobilize a soldier or a pawn, and the violator will be beheaded!
The hundred officials ran to Dong Taishi's mansion to ask for help, asking Dong Taishi to personally order the suppression of these chaotic people, but as soon as they arrived at the street where Dong Taishi's mansion was located, they were stopped by the trapped camp, and the general who led the team told them that Dong Taishi was studying the 136th holy decree of the imperial court this year with the daughter of Wucheng Hou and others, and no one was allowed to disturb it, and violators were punished for the crime of rebellion!
Then there was the Wenhou Mansion, and Lu Bu's porter told them that Wen Hou was playing the piano with Miss Diao Chan, and if they dared to make Wen Hou angry, they could go in......
Du Wei Li Confucian, Li Ru's old illness has returned, and he can't see guests......
The residence of the military adviser Jia Xu, and the military division Jia went to visit Li Duwei......
Even the chief Shi Lusu, who had no military power, and the new Wenhua Hou Hua Tuo's residence Baiguan ran away, and Lu Su also went to visit Li Ru, but Hua Tuo went to treat Li Ru......
At this point, can the hundred officials still understand that Dong Taishi is playing the calculations of the superiors? Is it still unclear why Mrs. Dong commended them? But it was too late to understand it, and they could only cry bitterly as those chaotic people resisted the food that belonged to them and disappeared into the vast night......
