Chapter Seven: The Rich Man Shi Chong!

Ever since the assassins came out of the East Palace, the crown prince Sima Shu has been hiding in the small study, and no one is allowed to approach except for the chief manager Liu Gonggong, who can enter and exit freely. Fortunately, everyone is used to the various grotesque behaviors of the prince at the moment, anyway, it was okay for the prince to sell wine and meat before, as long as the prince himself was fine, they would be tossed by the prince.

During the time Sima Shu stayed in the small study, in addition to exercising, his only hobby was to listen to Gonggong Liu's introduction to the situation in the DPRK and China. There is a big difference between what you see in a book and what you hear with your own ears.

In the past, he only knew from the history books that the coups of the Western Jin Dynasty were very bloody and frequent.

But through Liu Gonggong's narration, Sima Shu intuitively understood how bloody it was, just when the King of Chu killed the auxiliary ministers Sima Liang and Wei Qiang, he killed thousands of people, and countless innocent people were implicated. Sima Wei was so intent on seeking the auxiliary minister, but after he killed his uncle, he was killed by Empress Jia.

What is ridiculous is that Sima Wei, the king of Chu, wept bitterly when he was dying: "I was ordered to act, and I was called a society, but I was guilty, and I am also the son of the first emperor, why should I suffer such an injustice." ”

Such a person with a low IQ dares to participate in the palace struggle, and he really doesn't know how to write the dead word. Political struggles have always been cruel, and it is all too normal to die unjustly.

Aren't Yang Jun, Sima Liang, and Wei Qian all loyal ministers? Yang Jun's nephew knelt down and cried in front of the idiot emperor: "Yang Jun received the favor of the first emperor and tried his best to assist the government, and he was alone and childless, so there is a reason for rebellion?" ”

Sima Weibing came to the palace of Runan, and Liu Zhun persuaded Sima Liang to refuse the battle, "Looking at this, it must be a strategy to annihilate, and the handsome and righteous in the mansion is like a forest, and you can still try your best to fight from the war." ”

Sima Liang sighed: "My loyalty can show the world, how there is no way, and it is innocent to kill in vain!" ”

There are thousands of soldiers in the Wei Mansion, but they calmly tied their hands to death, aren't they all wronged? As the saying goes, there are gods three feet on the head, and they can't live if they do their own evil, and everyone who kills them will always kill them.

The more he knew, the stronger Sima Shu's desire to leave the capital became, and he didn't want to get involved in any court dispute at the moment.

I heard that Zhang Hua was coming early this morning, Sima Shu planned to wait for Zhang Hua to come to teach, and then took the opportunity to ask him for help, but he didn't expect that Zhang Hua was temporarily summoned by the emperor to the palace to discuss matters, and the lecture was also canceled.

There is no need to guess that this must be what the queen meant, Queen Jia has been trying to discredit the prince, how could she allow the nengchen Zhang Hua to approach Sima Shu. Jia Nanfeng couldn't wait for the East Palace to be full of villains, and then the prince also became infamous, so she could mobilize a hundred officials to depose the prince.

"Your Highness, Taifu won't be here today, or will we go out for a walk? It's not a way for His Highness to stay in the East Palace like this! Gonggong Liu, who had been following Sima Shu, suggested after seeing Sima Shu's disappointed face.

"Okay, let's go outside today."

After pondering for a moment, Sima Shu accepted Gonggong Liu's proposal, and he was right. Although it is safe and worry-free to stay in the East Palace, it cannot change the overall situation, and if Sima Shu wants to leave Luoyang, he cannot do without the support of the ministers of the DPRK and China. Therefore, he inevitably had to visit the ministers.

The two of them took a few small yellow gates, and under the watchful eyes of the guards, they walked out of the gate of the East Palace. During this period, none of the guards followed them, and Sima Shu didn't care, anyway, he had a homemade pistol pinned to his waist, which was enough to protect himself.

A few people turned a few streets, and after moving away from the palace, the crowd gradually increased.

This is the first time Sima Shu went shopping in ancient times, and everything he saw was very strange, the streets in ancient times were lined with restaurants, inns, shops, etc., and there were some hawkers on both sides of the middle. Sima Shu watched with relish, and from time to time asked Gonggong Liu to pay for something.

Just as Sima Shu was enjoying the fun of shopping in ancient times, he suddenly saw a disturbance in front of him, and everyone scattered to both sides.

Under the crowding of everyone, Sima Shu was also squeezed to the side of the road, and before he could recover his senses, he heard the crowd shout: "The townsman of Anyang is back, the townsman of Anyang is back!" ”

Everyone craned their necks to watch.

"Who is the Marquis of Anyang?" Sima Shu quietly asked the chief attendant beside him, he couldn't be blamed for this, who made him not be able to match the names of the ancients with his position and title.

In this regard, the head of the chamberlain, Liu Gonggong, had long been surprised, and he replied in Sima Shu's ear: "General Nanzhonglang, Jingzhou Thorn History, leading the captain of Nanban, and General Shi Chongshi Jilun of Jiayingyang." ”

"Shi Chong?!"

Sima Shu was a little surprised when he heard this name, he didn't expect that as soon as he came out of the East Palace, he would meet a famous rich man in history. And this guy dared to openly fight with the emperor's relatives and relatives, and even the emperor's uncle Wang Kai lost to him.

Shi Chong is the Jin Dynasty who lived in the ruling family, and there was an emperor with soft ears, otherwise it would have been wiped out by the emperor in a different dynasty.

Looking at the luxuriously decorated frame in front of him, compared to the emperor's ceremonial driving, in addition to being less unusable, its luxury is more exaggerated. Even the groom driving next to him was dressed in silk and satin, and the handle of the horsewhip in his hand was actually plated with a layer of golden gold, which looked golden.

This Shi Chong really lives up to his name! Sima Shu said secretly, but unfortunately he died in the end, and after his death, his concubine Luzhu fell from the building and died for it, and it was not in vain that he defended the other party at the beginning.

Looking at Shi Chong's distant frame, Sima Shu couldn't help but think of the things related to Shi Chong recorded in "The New Language of the World".

According to books such as "The New Language of the World", Shi Chong's toilet was built beautifully, and various perfumes and balms were prepared for guests to wash their hands and wipe their faces. There are often more than a dozen maids standing and waiting, all dressed in splendid and dazzling clothes, waiting in line for the guests to go to the toilet.

After the guests went to the toilet, the maidservants asked the guests to take off the clothes they were wearing and waited for them to change into new clothes before letting them out. Once you have been to the toilet, you can't wear your clothes anymore, so that most of the guests are embarrassed to go to the toilet.

The official Liu Wei was very poor when he was young, whether he was riding a horse or going out on foot, he rested everywhere he went, never tired his master, and cut wood and carried water by himself. Later, when the official became bigger, he still maintained the virtue of diligence and thrift.

Once, when he went to visit Shi Chong's house, when he went to the toilet, he saw that there were crimson mosquito nets, mats, mattresses and other very elaborate furnishings in the toilet, and there were maidservants waiting with sachets, so he hurriedly withdrew, and said to Shi Chong with a smile: "I entered your inner room by mistake." ”

Shi Chong said: "That's the toilet!" ”

Liu Liao said: "I can't enjoy this. "Toilets elsewhere were improved.

Some people say that Shi Chong's property is incomparable to the size of the mountains and seas, the magnificent rooms are connected to each other, and the hundreds of concubines in the back room are all wearing exquisite embroidered brocades, and their bodies are decorated with dazzling pearls and jade gems.

All the beautiful silk and bamboo music in the world has entered his ears, and all the rare birds and beasts on land and water have entered his kitchen.

According to the "Records of Cultivating Mulberry Puppets", foreign countries paid tribute to Huohuan cloth, and Emperor Wu of Jin made clothes and wore them to Shi Chong to show off. As a result, Shi Chong deliberately wore ordinary clothes, but asked the fifty slaves to wear fire raccoon shirts to greet Emperor Wu. (This is simply looking for death, and he dares to slap the emperor in the face!) )

Shi Chong's concubines are more than 1,000 beautiful, and he chooses dozens of them, and the makeup and decoration are exactly the same, at first glance, he can't even tell them.

Shi Chong carved the jade dragon pendant, and made the golden phoenix hairpin, day and night sound and color together, called "constant dance". Every time I want to be lucky, I don't call my name, I just listen to the sound of admiration and look at the hairpin. The light voice is in the front, and the hairpin is bright in the back, and the next is the first. The maids each have a different fragrance, and the laughter is from the wind.

Shi Chong sprinkled agarwood crumbs on the ivory bed again, and let his favorite concubine step on it, and gave a hundred pearls without leaving footprints; If there are footprints, let them eat and drink in moderation so that their constitution will be weak. Therefore, the boudoir joked: "You are not thin and light-skinned, where can you get a hundred pearls?" ”

Such a person who does not know moderation and restraint will die sooner or later at the hands of villains. Sure enough, Sima Lun, the king of Zhao, coveted Shi Chong's wealth, and under the instigation of the villain Sun Xiu, he sent troops to besiege and kill Shi Chong, and razed his three clans.

"Your Highness, how is this person? It is said that when Chong's father divided the family property, each son in the family got a lot of money, but he did not give Shi Jilun a penny, saying, "Although the son is small, he can get it later". Later, Shi Jilun really made a fortune in Jingzhou. The chief chamberlain accompanied Sima Shu and said.

"Hehe, as the saying goes, 'Horses have no night grass and no fat, and people have no windfall and no wealth', Shi Jilun has accumulated wealth in a short period of time that even the emperor's relatives can't compare, it must have taken a crooked path." Sima sneered.

"His Royal Highness is really smart, according to outsiders, when Shi Chong was appointed as the assassin of Jingzhou, someone reported to the imperial court, 'Chong is in Jingzhou, robbing merchants far away, and getting rich is not rich'" Liu Gonggong explained.

In just one sentence, Sima Shu finally understood how Shi Chong became rich. Thorn Shi is the highest governor of a state, and when merchants pass through Jingzhou, Shi Chong robs them in the form of open fire and cane, which is definitely both official and thief.

Only then can we understand how Shi Chong became a huge rich man from scratch. It is easier to understand that he was able to build the Golden Valley Garden later. There is a robbery in Jingzhou at the bottom, enough to accumulate wealth, and the room is magnificent.

"Let's go, let's take a look elsewhere."

Seeing Shi Chong's luxury, and then looking at the miserable life of the ordinary people around him who were unclothed and hungry, Sima Shu was a little depressed. With this kind of court, even if there is no foreign invasion, it is impossible for him to last long, and sooner or later he will be burned by the raging fire of the peasant uprising.

Just when Sima Shu wanted to leave, a ragged woman stumbled towards Sima Shu and his party, and Sima Shu did not take the initiative to step forward, he was afraid that this was a trap set by the enemy. Who knew that the ragged woman was about to reach Sima Shu when she suddenly crashed into his arms.

Sima Shu was caught off guard and had to hug the other party, but fortunately, after observation, he knew that this woman didn't know martial arts, just an ordinary person, otherwise Sima Shu would not have been able to let her get close easily. Even so, he was secretly guarding against the other party, for fear that the other party would do something wrong.
