This is a rather elegant mansion in the imperial capital, and the Spring Festival is being celebrated in this mansion at this time, but what does not fit in with the lively hall is the quiet inner room next to the hall, where two old men and two young people look well-maintained. The full-text and ad-free novel is all in Aishang Novel Network biquge.info four people look so weird against the dim and flickering candle flame.
"Originally, how things were going, and whether the rat had gained trust."
One of the two old men asked a young man named Benchu.
"Uncle, Squirrel has contacted our people and said that the jackal will make a move recently, and if the time is right, he will cut off one of the jackal's legs for us."
The young man named Ben Chu made a vicious downward slash motion, and at the same time, the young man next to him also showed the same resentful look as Ben Chu.
"Highway, how did you do with the things I asked you to investigate?"
Another old man also asked about the man named Highway, and from the occasional flickering candlelight, it was clear that his appearance was very similar to that of Primordial Highway.
"Yes, my father, the brigade organized by the tail has been heading north one after another, but the tail has disappeared for a while, but the cable newspaper said that the tail seems to have appeared near the capital."
The young man, named Highway, answered his father's question very cautiously. Speaking of which, among the wealthy families in the Three Kingdoms period, I am afraid that the only ones who can call Benchu and Highway are the two fratricidal brothers of the Yuan family.
"Hmph~ He Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong's plan still thinks I don't know? At the beginning, you can return to the ancestral house of Runan at this time, and move my Yuan family to Nanyang, Chu Gong has an old relationship with me, and you can rest assured that you can take refuge in him. ”
"Nephew understands." Yuan Shao replied very simply.
"Wait a minute, move some people to the Bohai area between the rivers, and if necessary, you can ask the border army in Youzhou for help, where the old man also had many old friends." Yuan Shu's father, Yuan Feng, ordered this, and then waved his hand to let Yuan Shao leave here.
"Highway, as my Yuan Feng's son-in-law, you will inherit the glory of the Yuan family in the future. Now that the world has begun to be unpeaceful, the army of our Yuan clan should also be prepared. On this side of the court, there is your uncle's eldest male uncle, so this time I hope you can join the military and make a career, I hope you don't let me down. ”
Yuan Feng gently stroked Yuan Shu's hands and looked at Yuan Shu with hope. Yuan Shu was also excited, Kyoto had been dormant for so many years, and he Yuan Shu finally had a day to soar into the sky.
"The son will live up to his father's expectations, and he will live up to the reputation of our fourth and third princes of the Yuan family. The child must make something to make the father proud of the child's achievement. ”
"Hahahaha, I have Jia'er, and Yuan's has a queen. In this way, let Ji Ling's guy follow you, your martial arts are a little worse after all, and the organic spirit will follow, and there will be more protection on the battlefield. ”
Fortunately, Yuan Shao had gone all the way at this time, otherwise if he still stayed here, I am afraid that he would be angry at his biological father's favoritism.
Getting his father's expectations, Yuan Shu also walked out of the secret room as if full of energy, and at this time, only the two old men were left in the dim room looking at each other, and finally shook their heads and sighed together.
"Ciyang, do you believe that this is just a trick of eunuchs like Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong?" Yuan Feng reluctantly opened his mouth to his younger brother Yuan Kui, and that tone was not so much an inquiry, but a sense of powerlessness to guess the truth.
"Brother, why worry, this matter is the strategy of Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and others. And even if it doesn't, as long as the chaos is together, we will have the opportunity to contact the ministers for advice, and the prestige of my Yuan family will be even more grand. ”
Yuan Feng didn't comment on his younger brother's optimistic thoughts, thinking about what happened to the famous minister Chen Qiu, Yuan Feng really felt that the person in the palace was acting unsettlingly.
"Forget it, let's not talk about these troublesome things, let's talk about my brother and sister Aishang Novel Network. Will she survive this winter? ”
Listening to Yuan Feng's question, Yuan Kui shook his head with a sad face.
"Lun'er is virtuous, how can I, Yuan Kui, be virtuous, and how can I get this virtuous lady. Although she often makes me unable to get off the stage at home on weekdays, but when she is so sick, the family suddenly becomes a little less angry, and I can't even eat at ease now. ”
Yuan Kui talked about the illness of his wife, and recalled the ups and downs of more than 40 years of mutual affection, and couldn't help but cry.
The camera turns, and we come to the palatial Han Palace.
Liu Hong, the Emperor of Han Ling, who participated in various sacrificial activities for a day, was already comfortably soaking in the pool at the right temperature at this time, and Zhao Zhong was leading a group of little eunuchs and palace maids to carry out various exquisite services for Liu Hong.
Liu Hong, who was half-asleep and half-awake, suddenly pushed away the two palace maids who were knocking on his shoulders and asked Zhao Zhong.
"Mother, how is that guy Zhang Jiao preparing, you don't need to help him secretly, otherwise it will be a big loss to be destroyed by those powerful families all at once."
"My Majesty, you can rest assured that you love Shang Novel Network. I've got a lot of Assassins around a lot of disobedient guys. If Zhang Jiao's guy can succeed, if not, then our people are not easy to get along. ”
Zhao Zhong's voice is soft and soft, obviously he has been practicing for a long time, if he goes to the radio station to host the show, I am afraid he will also have a chance to win the title of "Best Female Host of the Year", or after professional training, "Vitas Second" is not a problem.
Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty nodded, expressing his affirmation of Zhao Zhong, and at the same time reached out to hug a young girl dressed in silk yarn, wantonly playing with the girl. Tall and splendid houses, beautiful and lovely women, this is the life he pursues, and in order to support this luxurious life, he must need more money, and Emperor Huan left him very little.
Speaking of which, the idea of selling the official mantle really can't be regarded as his first move. In the early days of the founding of the Western Han Dynasty, the country was in ruins, and the Huns abroad were eyeing each other, and the border areas did not even have the food needed to resist the Huns, so the Xiongnu invaded the border as if they were visiting their own backyards.
In order to solve this problem, the prince's family at that time came up with a similar solution to Liu Hong today. Liu Hong sells officials, and Chao is wrong. The core idea of the policy of entering the Su Baijue is to exchange grain for a title, and if you have a title, you can obtain privileges, just like now having a public institution establishment, there are many advantages and no disadvantages.
As a result, a few years later, not only will there be no shortage of grain at the border, but even the main areas of the country will be full of granaries. It can be seen from this that those wealthy families have money, food and land. But Emperor Wu of Han stopped doing it, and he also thought of a way. What he lacks is not food, but military spending. So what he proposed was to buy money to worship the lord, and at the same time, when the title reached a certain level, he could use the money to exonerate himself. So I know why Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty likes to use the cool official Aishang Novel Network so much. To put it bluntly, the problem that can be solved with money is not a problem, but the biggest problem is that there is no money. So Wei Qing spent a lot of money in order to help his old comrades-in-arms avoid the crimes set by those cool officials.
All the way to Liu Hong, he estimated that he lacked everything, of course, it was best to have money. Because of the title or something, because the emperor, queen, and queen mother have changed more diligently over the years, and the titles of the common people are not low. As for the exoneration money, another major source of income, because the main consumer group was not arrested by him because of the problem of party management, and he really didn't dare to collect money and release people. So in desperation, he even began to sell his officials.
Of course, he sells officials not just because you pay me to the officials. He also depends on the quality of the people who are in charge. It is difficult for people who have no ability and no family background to become high-ranking officials if they are rich, so it would be good to give you a county order or a county that no one wants. In addition, the most amazing thing is that you were selected by him to be an official, buddy, don't get excited yet, you have to pay the official fee.
However, those who become officials through formal channels will be reduced according to his character, and even change slowly after taking office, anyway, he Liu Hong does not let go of usury instead of pyramid schemes, and those good officials who really have no surplus wealth and no political problems at home Liu Hong are really not iron roosters.
Therefore, Li Shushi dared to assert that with the merits of the old man Tong back then, coupled with enough money, there was no problem in saving his life.
At the same time, outside the city of Luoyang, a team of caravans dressed in ordinary people's clothes was loading truckloads of goods and slowly entered the capital of Luoyang, where the curfew was lifted because of the Spring Festival.
