Chapter 9 Dong Boss's private interview with Weifu
Because of gratitude to Kang Peng for letting go of the princes of the Eighteen Roads, the ministers surrounded Kang Peng after the dispersal of the dynasty for the first time, and you wanted to invite Kang Peng to his house as a guest, which made Kang Peng proud, and even forgot what his surname was.
At the outskirts of the ministers, there was a minister who was smiling all over his face, but his eyes were staring at Kang Peng viciously. Needless to say, this person is naturally Boss Dong's sworn enemy - Wang Yun! Yesterday at the Luoyang City Gate, Kang Peng took half of his life away from Wang Yun's nephew Wei Zhongdao, although Wang Yun was at the scene, but Wang Yun did not dare to come forward to intercede, who does not know the temper of this King Dong Yan? What's more, Wang Yun used Cao Cao's hand to assassinate Dong Zhuo, but Cao Cao was defeated and fled, and he also put in a seven-star treasure knife, and Wang Yun quietly framed or personally executed all the people who participated in the plot to assassinate that day, which cleared the suspicion, but it still aroused the suspicion of Jia Xu and Li Ru, and paid close attention to him. But after all, it was his nephew who was beaten, and Wang Yun's hatred for Dong Zhuo in his heart undoubtedly added another layer.
Wang Yun remembered yesterday's incident, gritted his teeth with hatred, looked up and looked around, observed the expressions of the ministers, and wanted to find a few allies, but the ministers disappointed Wang Yun, and the ministers looked at Dong Zhuo like their own father at the moment, but they didn't kneel down and lick Dong Zhuo's feet. But Wang Yun didn't find nothing, under a palace gate in the distance, there were two eunuchs staring at Dong Zhuo with the same eyes as himself.
Wang Yun was secretly happy, these two eunuchs Wang Yun knew, named Feng Bin and Feng Guo respectively, they were brothers, and they were also the godsons of Zhang Rang, the first of the Ten Standing Attendants, who were abused by the Ten Standing Attendants. In the past, the only good thing that Dong Zhuo did in Luoyang was to do all his power as eunuchs and break the situation of eunuchs in power since Emperor Heng of the Han Dynasty in one fell swoop. At that time, Dong Zhuojun bloodied the palace and all the things that were not below, all of them were caught and beheaded, Feng Bin and Feng Guo saw that the situation was not good, and immediately went to Dong Zhuo to slap the horse and offer rare treasures, so as to avoid death, and later Feng Bin and Feng Guo strongly encouraged Dong Zhuo to obscene the court, and the beautiful palace maids and princesses sent a lot of them to Dong Zhuo's bed, so as to please Dong Zhuo, and promoted them to the big and small yellow gates, in charge of the affairs of the harem. But Wang Yun knew that Feng Bin and Feng Guo only did this to save their lives, in fact, the ambitions of the two were not under their godfather Zhang Rang, and they wanted to control the government, so they hated Dong Zhuo, who did not allow eunuchs to be in power.
Wang Yun quietly left the crowd and walked in front of Feng Bin and Feng Guo, "Two fathers-in-law, are you waiting for the master here?" "In the past, whenever the dynasty was dispersed, Feng Bin and Feng Guo would stay here to welcome Boss Dong to the harem of the Han Dynasty, and the two brothers had already arranged for more than a dozen beautiful palace maids and even princesses to wait. That's why Wang Yun asked.
Feng Bin first laughed twice in his voice that was neither male nor female, and heard a layer of goosebumps on Wang Yun's body, Feng Bin said: "Lord Situ is really smart, the Sprinkle family heard that the prime minister returned with a great victory, and he was promoted to the Taishi, and the two brothers of the Sprinkle family prepared a table of banquets in the harem, wanting to celebrate the Taishi." ”
Wang Yun swallowed a mouthful of saliva enviously, he had heard that the banquet arranged by the two brothers Feng Bin and Feng Guo was to let the beautiful virgin lie naked on the table, with delicious wine and delicacies on it, and the girl fed the wine with cherry lips, and at the same time there was a beautiful woman accompanied by a massage, which was really full. Wang Yun admired his name for a long time, but unfortunately he never had the opportunity to see it with his own eyes.
Feng Guo added, "This time, not only the two brothers of the Sprinkle family, but also Princess Anyang and Princess Pingyang, they also have to celebrate the Taishi in person." After speaking, Feng Guo let out a burst of laughter that was even more disgusting than Feng Bin, which made Wang Yun feel sick to his stomach when he heard it.
Wang Yun, who is still a little loyal to the monarch, lamented in his heart, what is personal, it is clearly forced by the two of you brothers! The Han Dynasty is really pitiful, there are such eunuchs and powerful ministers, no wonder it is in decline. But Wang Yun remained silent, "Two fathers-in-law, why don't you invite the princess?" Let the Taishi wait in a hurry, who will take care of it? ”
Feng Bin and Feng Guo think about it, in Dong Zhuo's eyes, these courtiers are a bird? Taking advantage of the absence of the nagging Li Ru now, quickly pull Dong Zhuo into the harem, if he is happy, maybe he will let his two brothers participate in the government, at that time, don't you want anything?
Feng Guo tore open the throat of the male duck, "Ah, thank you Situ for reminding me, the Sprinkle family almost missed a big incident." ”
The two brothers, Feng Bin and Feng Guo, hurriedly ran towards Dong Zhuo's side, Wang Yun looked at their backs and sneered in his heart, Dong Zhuo, Dong Zhuo, if you don't kill the princes of the Eighteenth Road, don't you just want to make a good reputation? This time, these two yin and yang people invited you into the palace in front of everyone**, I think you can have a good reputation?
Feng Bin and Feng Guo trotted all the way to the side of the ministers, and saw Dong Zhuo being surrounded by the ministers to greet them, but the two brothers were afraid of these famous and powerless ministers? Feng Bin shouted menacingly: "Get out of the way, get out of the way, the Sprinkle family wants to see the Taishi." ”
Kang Peng heard this disgusting voice, turned his head to look, and saw two short people pulling and pushing away the ministers and approaching him, Kang Peng began to wonder who was so bold and dared to be so rude to the minister? At this time, Ma Ridan, the Taifu beside Kang Peng, scolded angrily: "You two eunuchs, how dare you be rude to the minister? I don't care about you! ”
Eunuch? Kang Peng suddenly realized, isn't he a eunuch? Before Kang Peng could speak, one of the two eunuchs shouted first, "You old immortal, the Sprinkle family is here to invite the princess to the harem for a banquet, so you will get out of the way of the Sprinkle family!" ”
Kang Peng immediately understood that these two eunuchs were here to invite Boss Dong to the palace to spoil those palace maids! Kang Peng's saliva immediately flowed out, but seeing the suspicious eyes of Ma Ridan and Zhao Yun, Kang Peng had to hold back his desire and ordered: "Zilong, go teach these two rude eunuchs a lesson." ”
Poor Feng Bin and Feng Guo, before they could figure out what was going on, they were violently beaten by a young general with a face prettier than the princess, and Dong Zhuo, who was usually ecstatic when he heard that he had entered the palace for a banquet, was still shouting, "Zilong, hit harder, these eunuchs who are chaotic deserve to be killed!" ”
Feng Bin and Feng Guo were still inexplicable, shouting while being beaten and rolling on the ground, "Taishi, we are inviting you to a banquet, we are inviting you to a banquet......" Not only Feng Bin and Feng Guo were confused, Wang Yun was also dumbfounded, Dong Zhuo What's wrong, doesn't he usually favor these two eunuchs?
Kang Peng was angry and anxious, although it was said that the real Boss Dong was messing up the harem, but now he was wearing the brand of Boss Dong, if these two eunuchs called out how many palace maids Dong had raped before, then the reputation of his painstaking management would not be whimpering? Thinking of this, Kang Peng himself rushed up, and each of them had two feet on the head of Feng Bin and Feng Guo, Feng Bin and Feng Guo wailed a few times, their eyes rolled white, they breathed more and took in less air, and they couldn't live.
Kang Peng spat on them, turned around and said: "Colleagues, these two eunuchs have insulted the prince of the dynasty, and executed them in a hurry, don't blame you." ”
No matter what dynasty it is, as long as it is a minister, there is no one who does not hate eunuchs. So for the first time, Dong Zhuo killed people in front of all the ministers, and none of the ministers were resentful, but everyone applauded.
After Feng Bin and Feng Guo made such a fuss, the good mood of the ministers was also noisy, Kang Peng was afraid that there would be some palace maids and concubines who had been raped by Dong Boss, and he had to show his stuff at that time, so he didn't dare to delay, and said goodbye to the ministers and left the palace.
Kang Peng left, and the ministers also dispersed in a hurry, leaving Feng Bin and Feng Guo crawling there, as well as Wang Yun in the distance. Wang Yun slowly walked to Feng Bin and Feng Guo's corpses with questions, and said in his heart, Who is this Dong Zhuo? Let's say he is greedy and lustful, how could he kill these two sycophant eunuchs? said that he was not lustful, so what did he say about the palace maids and concubines he had ruined before? Also, he didn't kill the eighteenth princes who attacked him, how can this be explained?
Wang Yunzheng was puzzled, Feng Bin's corpse suddenly moved, and Feng Guo also sighed, these two eunuchs are really hard, and they are not dead yet. Wang Yun's heart moved, and an idea came to his mind. So Wang Yun called a few little eunuchs, stuffed them with some money, and carried Feng Bin and Feng Guo out of the palace......
Kang Peng and Zhao Yun walked out of the palace, and the soldiers who stayed outside the palace immediately greeted them, Zhao Yun hugged his fists at Kang Peng and said, "Taishi, are we going back to the house, or are we going there?" Please show me. ”
Kang Peng thought about it, since he came to the Three Kingdoms era, he was either fighting every day, or studying the physiological structure of the human body with Xiu'er in the room, and he hadn't observed the customs of the Three Kingdoms era well. So Kang Peng said: "Zilong, I want to check the people of Luoyang, how about the two of us traveling in microservices?" "It's convenient to have the first bodyguard of the Three Kingdoms by your side, and you don't have to worry about safety with him.
Zhao Yun was overjoyed and immediately agreed. Kang Peng changed his official uniform and asked the pro-soldiers to buy an ordinary Confucian robe, holding a folding fan in his hand. Zhao Yun couldn't help but laugh, and also changed into a Confucian dress.
Luoyang is the capital of the Han Dynasty, the place where officials are concentrated, Kang Peng walked a few streets, and saw that there were countless official mansions along the way, one was more luxurious than the other, one was more luxurious than the other, and it formed a distinct is the people's houses next to it, dilapidated and low, it seems that even a gust of wind can blow across the situation, the family members of the high-ranking officials and scholars are full of oil, but the people have vegetables on their faces, and they look malnourished at a glance. Seeing this, Kang Peng couldn't help but sigh in his heart, no wonder there was a Yellow Turban Uprising at the end of the Han Dynasty, and the common people really lived too hard. Kang Peng pondered in his heart, what should he use to improve the lives of the people? As long as the people are well fed, there is no need to worry that they will not go with them.
Passing through a large number of houses, to a lively and bustling street, the road is lined with shops and vendors, and there is an endless stream of pedestrians on the road, Kang Peng knew that this must be the main street of Luoyang, so he put down his feet and carefully observed the market situation of the three countries. At first glance, Kang Peng wondered, whether these shops are rice shops and sauce shops, restaurant workshops, most of them are pitifully small, far less than what they see on TV.
Kang Peng walked into a rice shop, pointed to a bag of white noodles and asked, "Shop, how do you sell this noodles?" ”
The shopkeeper was settling accounts, and when he looked up, he saw that the person who had come was dressed in ordinary clothes, a poor scholar, and his appearance was also hideous and hateful. So the shopkeeper said, "You can't afford it, and there's what you want." The shopkeeper pointed to the pile of noodle bags in the corner, "Three hundred wen a catty." ”
Kang Peng knew that the shopkeeper was taking people with clothes, and he was not angry, and he couldn't help but be surprised when he walked over and saw it, this was flour, the color was black and mushy, I don't know what it was mixed with, the only thing that could be seen clearly was mixed with wheat husk, "Shopkeeper, you also call it flour?" Still so expensive? ”
The shopkeeper didn't know if he was kicked out of bed by his wife last night, and shouted angrily: "Old man, what is this not a noodle?" Isn't that what you usually eat? That bag over there is a pound of 1,000 yuan, can you afford it? ”
Zhao Yun was a little angry, and just wanted to speak but was stopped by Kang Peng. Kang Peng said with a pleasant face: "Don't blame the shopkeeper, we are from other places, and we really don't know the price of grain in Luoyang, so ask a few more words." ”
As the saying goes, don't stretch out your hand and don't hit the smiling person, Kang Peng's attitude made the angry shopkeeper a little embarrassed, "Don't blame the guests, the villain's wife scolded a few words just now, so he spoke more heavily." This is the noodles that our common people eat, mixed with ground bark and grass roots, as well as wheat husk straws, but 300 wen a pound is indeed the real price, and guests can inquire if they don't believe it. As for this bag of nothing, we can't afford to eat it, only those old men can afford it. ”
Kang Peng's brows suddenly furrowed when he heard this, although this ancient one was not good because of the planting technology and seeds, but it was not like this? "Shop, the price of grain in Luoyang has only been expensive in recent years, or has it always been so expensive?"
"The price of grain has become more and more expensive year by year since the beginning of the yellow turban thieves, the official family collects more, and the old man collects more rent in order to be prepared, so the grain has to rise." The shopkeeper sighed when he said this, "Guest, you don't know, this Luoyang city is already the best, in the countryside, some people can't afford to eat these at home, and if they are soft-hearted, the whole family will starve to death, if the heart is hard, they will slaughter the family to eat, and one will die and live......"
Kang Peng walked out of the store with a calm face, and said in his heart that Tuntian's move is imperative, if it doesn't go on like this, even if the princes don't come to attack me, I will be overthrown by the people. At the same time, Kang Peng is also worried in his heart, although Tuntian is good, it can be seen that the effect is too busy, will the people wait for that time?
Kang Peng inquired about their situation with a few street vendors, and finally knew why they were so small, in this era, the tax on merchants was extremely high, farmland was fifteen taxes and one, but the tax rate of merchants reached an astonishing five taxes and one, or even three taxes and one! An old man who sold cloth sighed and said to Kang Peng: "It's difficult, if the business is not good, the money you earn can't even pay taxes." ”
The more he went, the more Kang Peng's face sank, Boss Dong's previous internal affairs were really terrible, rampant expropriation, economic collapse, leaving me a mess full of holes, so that I didn't know where to start if I wanted to improve? In fact, Kang Peng blamed Boss Dong for this mistake, the economic collapse and expropriation of the Han Dynasty and the serious land annexation began before Emperor Heng of the Han Dynasty, but it was only after the Yellow Turban Uprising that it was completely exposed, and it happened that Boss Dong occupied Luoyang at that time, so Kang Peng counted all the accounts on Boss Dong's head.
Zhao Yun saw Kang Peng's gloomy face, knowing that he was uncomfortable, and while he was moved in his heart, he was worried that Taishi was angry and wanted to find a way to divert his attention, Zhao Yun pointed to a very large shop and said: "Taishi, that rice shop may be the largest in Luoyang City, how about we go and see it again?" ”
Kang Peng looked up, the rice shop is really big, very much the style of the Qing Dynasty in the TV Dynasty, generally those Ming Jun in the Qing Dynasty have to go in to see this kind of shop, and then encounter bad profiteers bullying the people, those Ming Jun uneven led to ten or eight beauties, and finally all of them were included in the harem. So Kang Peng also became interested, "Okay, let's go and have a look." ”
