Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Eunuch Strikes
The Cao family is very rich, the eldest Cao Cao knows, and the second Cao De also knows.
However, the two brothers don't know how many there are, and it is estimated that their father Cao Song has never counted them, anyway, he didn't blink his eyelids when he threw out 10,000 gold to buy a captain.
As for now, don't look at Cao Song's resignation from the post of Taiwei and retirement, the Cao family's pace of making money has not stopped.
The life of a rich person is cool, and in the summer, the family has ice cubes that are quietly bought from the ice cellar in the palace with special money.
Two years ago, the eunuch Bi Lan made an overturned car and sprinkled the road with water from the Luo River.
It is rumored that everyone in the world says that summer is scorching and the heat is unbearable. From time to time, Zhao Yun, who was only five years old, said that the water was pumped onto the roof and then sprinkled down to form a natural waterfall that could cool down.
Originally, adults thought it was nonsense, but when Bi Lan overturned and was born, Zhao Zhong's family immediately remembered the words of the Zhao family's Qilin'er, so they built a pool in the courtyard and sent the water to the roof with the overturned car to escape the heat.
When Emperor Ling of Han heard this, he went to Zhao Zhong's house to live for ten days, and did not return to the palace until the palace was installed and commissioned.
There is a pool in the backyard of Caofu, and a thin wooden board with shiny paint is placed on the eaves, and wooden planks are installed on both sides to form a sink, so that people can enjoy the shade under the wooden plank, which is extremely comfortable.
Cao Song is a person who pays attention to enjoyment, and when the time has passed, he doesn't want to go back to the house, so he closes his eyes and lies on the bamboo chair to close his eyes and recuperate.
The maids on both sides used pu fans to gently fan the wind to drive away mosquitoes, and the movements were very light for fear of disturbing the old man's rest.
Cao Cao walked over at this time, looked at his father with some envy under the starlight, and sighed slightly: "Father! ”
"Meng De," Cao Song's eyes opened slightly: "Didn't you please go to peace, why don't you go to bed yet?" ”
"You go back to the house first." Cao Cao commanded, and when he saw the two maids walking away, he whispered his confusion.
There is no air in the cool place, for fear of attracting mosquitoes. Cao Song opened his eyes and looked at his eldest son carefully.
Once upon a time, this kid broke his heart, and he was so bold that he secretly ran into Zhang Rang's house alone to assassinate him.
But it's hard to blame him, he blames himself for leaking his mouth, those big families don't want to marry their own family, all because of the disaster of the ten permanent servants, although Cao Teng died, the Cao family was affected by the pond fish.
Fortunately, his performance will become more and more eye-catching in the future, and he will feel a lot more at ease as a father.
"Do you still remember when you assassinated Zhang Ranghu?" Cao Song said leisurely and closed his eyes again.
"Yes, the child knows how to behave in the future!" Cao Cao instantly understood the meaning of his father's words.
No matter what the Cao family does, in the eyes of the scholars, or the family of eunuchs, so what? Doesn't the Zhao family also rely on Zhao Zhong, a natural ally, when will it take for their own family not to rely on it?
Cao Cao had not yet acted, and the attack of the eunuch group was quite fierce, and the next morning, dozens of small and medium-sized officials of the Yuan family or related to the Yuan family were reprimanded, dismissed, and imprisoned one by one.
All this made Sikong Yuan Feng Situ Yuan Kui unclear So, how could the Yuan family or their subordinates dare to chew their tongues in front of them? I thought that Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao's actions were all instructed by them.
After coming and going, the business of Yan Zhao flavor is still hot, but insiders know that they are all local rich people from other places, and they have no chance to book a table on weekdays.
Other people, Yuan Feng, the helmsman of the Yuan family, can be indifferent, and his eldest son Yuan Ji is also among the reprimands.
People are fighting for a breath of Buddha to receive a pillar of incense, and the court bigwigs are fighting for the skin, and under the public, the faces of the Yuan family were beaten to a crackle, and within three days, all states and counties across the country will definitely know.
The point is that the reason for reprimanding Yuan Ji is quite strange, saying that he has been squeezing a piece of music that should be handed in for a long time.
Nima, what a ridiculous wording, the emperor also dealt with official business in the morning, but did not say that he went to work in the afternoon.
If it weren't for a particularly urgent file, who would risk the world's condemnation to knock open the palace door and report ordinary matters?
Others will submit the notes of the following states and counties at noon, and they will only hand it in the next day, and some of the things that their own departments think are irrelevant, they simply do not hand them in.
No one is perfect, and every official's ass is not clean. If you think it is important today and do not hand it in, is it a crime of deception and you want to be killed?
Thinking of this, Yuan Feng shuddered, and at this moment he didn't understand that someone was targeting Yuan's people, so he, the patriarch of the Yuan clan, was doing it in vain.
After the next dynasty, he specially called his eldest son to sit in his carriage and was silent for a long time.
"Father, has the child offended someone among the servants?" Yuan Ji was restless, he knew that his father was holding his breath in his heart.
"Gonglu, you didn't do anything wrong." Yuan Feng shook his head: "I miss the Yuan family of Runan, the fourth and third dukes, and I am jealous of others." As a husband, you will also encounter such incidents in the future. ”
Appearance is the first factor in any era, and Yuan Ji will be reused precisely because of his majestic appearance, generous and decent behavior, and because he is the eldest son of his father's line.
Otherwise, as the eldest son of his concubine, he can only live in the shadow of his eldest son Yuan Shu for the rest of his life.
With the Yuan family's intelligence system, Yuan Feng has not yet arrived home, and all the information has been gathered.
Yuan Ji has been beside him all the time, he feels very uncomfortable, how could the Yuan family be so disgraced because of a small wealthy family?
Back at home, Yuan Feng didn't summon or blame Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao, who was the Yuan family afraid of? is the son of the Liu family or the ten permanent servants and the like, which provoked everyone to break up.
Isn't it just a true Zhao family? It's not Zhao Zhong himself, if he provokes it, he will provoke it.
He was just thinking about whether it was the one in the palace who was jealous of the Yuan family or just because of the Zhao family.
If the Zhao family is easy to do, it will be a big deal to bow their heads and pass, and until the last moment, the Yuan family is not ready to fire with the eunuchs at all.
Zhao Zhong and others, on the contrary, were familiar with the disaster of the party, and they gathered a large number of henchmen, and they could launch a thunderous blow at any time.
If the one in the palace thinks that the Yuan family is highly meritorious, it will be too difficult to do, and maybe the Yuan family will be wiped out.
Maybe the Liu family will hurt the muscles and bones, and the Yuan family can only become synonymous with history.
After the dispersal of the dynasty today, Yuan Feng did not meet with his third brother Yuan Kui, because he had no good way to deal with it, otherwise he would come to meet him.
As for the staff, no kidding. The people at the helm of the Yuan family were all panicked, which would undoubtedly create an illusion to the people below that the Yuan family was about to end.
Yuan Shao has been in Taoguang for the past few years, but he has a lot of friends and is out socializing all day long.
Today is the day when Zhang Miao and Zhang Mengzhuo came to visit, and suddenly heard about what happened in the court, and suddenly he was not even in the mood to drink.
He didn't know what the specific cause was, but he suspected that it had something to do with his behavior and Yuan Shu's.
Although Yuan Shu is a few years younger than Yuan Shao and young, he is already a general in the Tiger Ben, equivalent to the head of the Central and Central Garrison Corps in later generations, responsible for defending the country's top leader.
Legend has it that when he was born, the fairy gave his mother a dream, saying that the child in her arms had a destiny.
If you have money, you will have people with you, and he will not think that a single reputation can make people die, and they must have financial resources.
Everything in the early dynasty, how could Yuan Shu, who was the general of the Tiger Ben, not know?
In an instant, he thought that it was Zhao Zhong behind the Zhao family who was making a move, and he was scared.
Although Yuan Shu himself has not been implicated, if the Yuan family's vitality is greatly damaged, then does he still have something to rely on?
For a while, he was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, and he didn't dare to see his elders at all.
