Chapter 162: Sudden Bad News (2)
Dong Ju said indignantly: "I knew this was the case, I might as well have gone with the emperor at the beginning, so I can still live!" It's better than it is now......"
Dong Hong wanted to speak at this time.
"Run away...... Dong Ju said cautiously in a slightly trembling voice.
"Nephew, let's escape! With our family background, if we go to the Jin State or the Wu State, we will inevitably be treated as guests, at least we can be an official, and when the emperor goes to fight again, we will flee across the sea, go to overseas Penglai, and wait until the world is calm and then change our name and surname to come back, or simply not come back, isn't this a way to live? It's better than it is now! ”
Dong Hong's eyes flickered, and he was silent for more than a dozen breaths before shaking his head and saying: "Uncle, this is a way to live, but have you thought about it, uncle, if it's just one or two people or three or five people, you will run away, but what about the small family?" What about my children? Flee with them, how can you escape? And if we leave and don't take them with us, then we will enjoy half of our lives of wealth, but they will be imprisoned, how can I bear it? ”
Dong Ju was completely desperate, he had no queen, so he didn't have much family business, otherwise, with his resume, he had a lot of money early, and at first he only thought about getting old and having one or two sons from the clan.
Unexpectedly, just reached the peak of life, before he had time to show his ambitions and expand his family business, everything was gone, when Deng Ai took people away, he did not leave because he fled in time, Deng Ai only had a few thousand Wei soldiers in his hands at that time, and he only had a few people holding them hostage.
But it was too late to collect too much, but Dong Ju regretted it now, it was better to be taken away with Qian Zhou, Zhang Shao and others, at least in the enemy country, you can still eat, drink, and live.
At this time, Dong Hong covered his nose slightly under the lamplight, and was cautious: "But if my uncle escapes alone, it is the best of both worlds......"
Dong Ju raised his head blankly and looked at his nephew, as if he was puzzled.
"Uncle......" Dong Hong took half a step forward and carefully explained in a low voice in front of the bed. You can't cover up what you do on a daily basis, otherwise your nephew will definitely bear this charge on your behalf, and then let you report it in order to get away with it......"
Dong Ju was stunned, but he stared at this nephew.
"Uncle, you go, I will take care of you in your home." Dong Hong finally gritted his teeth and said. "So far, this is the only way to protect the Dong family! Uncle, we have to take care of the overall situation! ”
Dong Ju opened his mouth to argue, but he couldn't speak, so he could only sit on the couch.
I still don't understand in my heart, this is nothing more than what the folk say: husband and wife are birds in the same forest, and they fly separately when disaster comes.
Their Dong family lineage was originally a separate inheritance, which was brought together at the beginning, it was nothing more than hoping to take care of each other, the Dong family was scarce, so they came together, and there were two generations of Shenglong.
This is not much blood relationship in the first place, and if it is separated, it will naturally not be pursued!
"Uncle, if you leave, I will order a sturdy servant to follow you, with my uncle's ability, if you want to escape, you can still do it." And Dong Hong saw that this cheap uncle was reluctant to speak, but he simply took out the plan completely to deal with it.
"After you leave, I will delay until tomorrow, and then go to report, both the righteous and the report of the family, you can say that we can move our relatives to intercede, so that the disaster will not reach the family, at that time, although the uncle is wandering, but it will be a few years, and then secretly turn back, and I am comfortable in the country to support the door, for the uncle to take care of the aunt, this is the right way to live! If you want my nephew to come to me, if your uncle is ruthless, don't alarm your aunt, take advantage of the darkness, immediately put on makeup and sneak away, I will let you send you to the market to wait, as soon as the day dawns, you will go out of the city with the night market to the east, and then hide in the mountains and forests, naturally worry-free! ”
Dong Ju listened to it for a long time, and suddenly hugged the quilt on the bed and cried.
The reason why he cried was not because he was desperate, but because he thought about it again and again, his nephew's plan was really the best way out at the moment, but the more this was the case, the more reluctant he was, but the more clear he was to hurry up.
If you can come back, there will be a place for him after all, but if you don't leave, maybe you will be killed by righteousness!
So far, I can only say that I regret not being at the beginning!
But as long as he drank less alcohol after being dismissed, and listened less to the pampering and agitation of those people, he would not have caused such a disaster.
In this way, Dong Ju cried for a long time, in the end, like wood, Dong Hong was semi-forced to change into the clothes of a domestic servant, and then was dragged by Dong Hong, and asked a strong servant and him to pretend to be a master servant to go out through the back door and go to the market.
The Dong family is also a rich and noble family, so naturally there will be die-hard people who serve their lives, and this kind of domestic servant is used at this time.
However, as soon as Dong Ju walked out of the back door, he walked only fifty or sixty steps, and was blocked by a group of strong men with lights at the entrance of the back door, and then was taken to a night market stall in the opposite alley.
Chang'an City, now also has the style of a city that never sleeps, the construction of Tongguan, and the completion of the four passes in Guanzhong, coupled with the strength of the Han Dynasty, also made the city just a few months later, there is a metropolis of heritage.
Safety is the most important thing for all merchants in this era, the trade routes of the Han Kingdom are the most complete, and the rulers are clear, so it has naturally been supported by countless merchants, and this city has the foundation of the city that never sleeps.
In this stall, there were not many people at this time, because most of the stalls were occupied by some strong men, clustered around the middle table, under the lamplight, facing the one who was drinking tea, Dong Ju, who had been lucky before, collapsed directly to the ground.
The stall owner was taken away from the scene early, and Zhang Muzhi looked at the Xiangye, but it was rare to show a puzzled expression: "How can the Xiangye be so ignorant?" Why did you want to escape today? Do you know that the son of Fan Xiangye came out yesterday and sued his father for conspiring with you, and directly implied that the rumors in the market were spread by you, and if we hadn't been waiting for you, we would have arrested people on a large scale. ”
At this time, Dong Hong was also brought over, and looking at the frightened uncle, he could only step forward and give his hand: "Let the general be tired." ”
"It's hard to be tired." In front of him, Zhang Muzhi didn't have much possibility.
"It's just that I've eaten here for three nights, and it's not good to eat something else, I'm still young!"
Early the next morning, great news broke out in the capital of the Han Dynasty, former Prime Minister Dong Ju absconded in fear of crime, and his nephew Dong Hong killed his relatives in righteousness, took the initiative to take the initiative, arrested the thief, and confessed on the spot to a reactionary group that was dissatisfied with the emperor and had repeatedly gathered to 'denounce the current affairs and plot against evil'.
Former Prime Minister Fan Jian and other noble sons are among them.
Jin Yiwei and Neiwei also did not hesitate, immediately wiped out these people, except for Dong Hong, who was the head, the rest were demoted to concubines, pursued the reward of the emperor, and confiscated the family property.
There is no longer any obstacle to the deprivation of unbridled work.
This governance is also a matter of opening up sources and reducing expenditures, especially the Han State, which is now working hard to rival the two countries, which spends more money on military affairs and less commercial wealth.
Otherwise, Yang Yi, the emperor, didn't want to fall into this fierce name, after all, her identity needs to be supported by the majority of the people, otherwise, if the Jin Kingdom sends Liu Chan back, her position will be very uncomfortable. Little Snail Chinese Network
Fortunately, there are victories one after another, so that she has a great military might, if she can destroy another country, then the future is Liu Chan's turnaround, and she can only be an emperor.
The snow was still falling, and although it was not large, it was cold to the bones after staying outside for a long time.
In the wooden shed of the porridge shed, the homeless people have already begun to be settled, Yang Yi also saw it, the ground is covered with straw, and the people inside are crowded, but it will not be too cold, but the conditions, that is, can only barely live.
Seeing that there were no homeless people along the way who died because of freezing evil, Yang Yi exhaled a breath of turbidity, smiled slightly in his heart, and finally did something.
"Let's go back!" Yang Yi took the lead in turning the horse's head, and said at the same time, what should be seen anyway, I have already seen that there are still many affairs in the palace that she needs to deal with, and it is reasonable to go back early.
"No!" The accompanying Jinyi guard glanced at the homeless again, answered, and turned the horse's head on the snow.
The group returned to the way they came, but no one spoke along the way, everyone knew that it was very hard, but there was nothing to do, in this world, it was not easy to live.
The condition of the displaced people makes people's hearts feel depressed, and while their faces are calm, even the weather feels colder and colder.
When returning to the palace, Yang Yi's horses naturally had eunuchs to lead them away, and the guards returned to their respective places.
"Lord, are you going back to the Inner Palace, or are you going to the Outer Palace?" After entering the palace gate, there was an inner guard who asked.
Yang Yi said without thinking: "Go to Hanlin Academy." ”
The Hanlin Yuan is actually the secretary province now, and the part of the inner service province also coincides with the Hanlin Academy, which is an important auxiliary government seat of the emperor, and Yang Yi's office is also here.
"Yes!" Ride into the inner palace without traveling, and go directly to the destination.
At this time, in front of the palace, except for the guards and some attendants, there were no outsiders, and they fell directly in front of the door, and there were already eunuchs who ran over to salute and open the door.
Even if it is forbidden, there are naturally some people who are willing to be castrated into the palace, and now it has only been three months in this new capital, and there are dozens of more people.
This is difficult to prohibit, because there are still many people who think about the eunuch in the Han Palace back then, and the famous Huang Hao has only been dead for many years, and many people still have memories.
The number of eunuchs in the palace is still not much, and a few are arranged here, these eunuchs who are waiting, not very old, step into the palace, a faint heat will come to the face, and the door will be closed behind them, blocking the cold behind them.
The eunuch waiting beside Yang Yi is the chief here.
Under the service of the internal guard, Yang Yi changed his coat, was changed into a pair of warm and comfortable boots, and asked: "Order someone to eat, a few ordinary dishes are enough!" ”
"No!" Yang Yi ordered down, but the eunuch didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly went out to prepare.
Yang Yi had already sat down at the desk, picked up a document, carefully reviewed it, and when he put it down, Yang Yi felt a little hungry.
At this time, the eunuch and several maids also walked in from outside.
The eunuch asked several waitresses to place a few delicate side dishes on a square table, along with a bowl of rice, a bowl of soup, a pair of silver chopsticks, and a small pot of warm wine, and a small silver wine glass.
"Your Majesty, the meal is ready." After waving his hand to make a few maids retreat, the eunuch walked up to Yang Yi and replied in a low voice.
"Yes." Yang Yi nodded, put the paperwork in his hand, and walked down a few steps to the square table.
There was an internal guard next to him who pulled out the chair and served Yang Yi to sit down. He carefully poured wine for Yang Yi, and the eunuch stood aside with low eyebrows.
Yang Yi is a little particular about eating here, but it is not extravagant, and he eats on weekdays, just enough to eat, just for good food, and he doesn't talk about any pomp.
After eating, the eunuch stepped forward, took someone to clean up the table, and went out with empty cups and plates, Yang Yi sat back in front of the bookcase, and turned over the copy.
When the eunuch finished his work and came in again, Yang Yi stopped him and suddenly asked, "How did you enter the palace as a chamberlain?" ”
The eunuch was slightly stunned, but quickly replied: "Your Majesty, the slave maid was in the sixteenth year of Yanxi, because of the disaster at home, the family was hungry when fleeing the famine, and it happened that someone was taking in young children, and the family was changed for some food. ”
"I stayed for more than ten years, but in the palace before, I didn't even eat hot food in winter, but now with Your Majesty, there are some good days in this palace." As he spoke, the eunuch knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly.
Yang Yi sighed, knowing that most of these eunuchs had poor backgrounds.
"Your father and mother sold you for food, do you hate them?"
The eunuch shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, the slaves and maids do not resent them; This is also forced for livelihood, it is really a helpless thing, if it is not for the sale of slaves and maids, it is a family that dies in one place, and if the slaves and maids are sold, the slaves and maids and they can survive; It is really terrible to make a disaster and famine, dead people are everywhere, people eat people are common, it is not uncommon for them to eat children, they just sold the slaves and maids, which is already very distressing for the slaves and maids; What's more, they also found a chance for the slave maid to live. ”
Being alive is the most important thing, but when it comes to this, there is still a touch of sadness on the eunuch's face.
Immediately, he immediately realized where he was and who was in front of him, and he hurriedly knelt on the ground with a plop, and said with a pale face: "The slave and maid are out of character, please punish Your Majesty." ”
"Excuse me, I told you to say this, it has nothing to do with you, get up." Yang Yi said lightly, and she didn't care about it, the rules of the palace had already been changed too much by her.
But the eunuch stood up cautiously at this time, stood aside, didn't dare to say anything more, today's gaffe is a big mistake, after staying in this palace for so many years, what should be done and what should not be done has been engraved into the bone marrow.
Yang Yi said slightly at this time: "The snow outside has stopped, tell me." ”
The eunuch hurriedly lowered his head and responded: "No." ”
