Chapter 189: The Wind and Rain Rise in Luoyang (3)
Just when Zhuang Shaoyou, Tian Feng and others were planning how to take precautions, Xiyuanzhi was also staging another good show.
Emperor Liu Hong's madness at night is already known in the West Garden, and it will be better during the day, so during the day, those former favorite concubines will reluctantly get together with Liu Hong, chat with him, relieve boredom, and at night, they will flee one after another, and the unlucky things will naturally be done by those palace maids with low status.
All people are born unequal, since ancient times, it is better than that!
Those favorite concubines are inextricably linked with the dignitaries and dignitaries outside the palace, and everyone has a relatively deep background, and these backgrounds are even Jian Shuo has to be afraid of, at least they dare not offend all at once, so it can only be those palace maids who have no background and status to go to the top of the tank.
Once, His Majesty the Emperor, who was eagerly awaited by tens of thousands of beauties in the harem, is now the biggest devil in the West Garden; What was once a pampering that I had been waiting for countless nights has now become a lingering nightmare!
The cold corpses of those companions, the bruised necks, the bleeding wounds, the frightened and desperate eyes, the distorted faces, as if they saw their own tomorrow, and all of this, there is no way to refuse!
Fate is dominated only by the strong, and the weak can only tremble in the shadows!
As for the revolt? Never thought about it!
The whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister! The whole world is the emperor's, what's the use of resisting?
For those poor palace maids, survival has become a distant luxury, and death is the only way to be given by fate! Those who disfigured themselves were all thrown into the barracks as military prostitutes, and in one night they were tossed so that their lower bodies burst and died, and after death, they were naked for three days, and then thrown into mass graves outside the city to feed the wolves! The same is true for suicides! In this day and age, this is a great insult to the dead.
Father-in-law Jian once said: "Your life is not your own, it is the emperor!" The emperor told you to die, so that you can die, and if you are not told to die, no one is allowed to die! Otherwise, even if you die, it won't make you feel better! Wait for death obediently, and there can be a good way to die; Any form of rebellion is a blasphemy against imperial power! ”
Absolute power may create a short-term glory, but more often than not, it will bring disaster, a heavy disaster!
The weak are the bearers of calamity, and the occasional ripple of resistance will soon fall silent, as if it had never fluctuated, and all that can be done is to pray that calamity does not befall you.
The weather at the end of the month was already very hot, just like Liu Hong's mood at the moment, the heat was unbearable, but he had to endure it, he tossed too hard last night, and he had another attack this morning, so he had no strength.
Liu Hongguang soaked in the pool and closed his eyes to recuperate, surrounded by more than a dozen naked beauties, complimenting him and kneading his body, as if he wanted to coax Liu Hong to be happy, but Liu Hong was silent.
These beauties are all Liu Hong's former favorite concubines, and they can basically be called names, which shows their high status! But despite this, those favorite concubines are very worried in their hearts, although their identities are different from those palace maids, no one dares to guarantee that Liu Hong will not suddenly go berserk and abuse himself to death!
Suddenly, Liu Hong stretched his waist, frightened the surrounding concubines, looking at Liu Hong's pale face that could not see the slightest blood, all of them trembled, Liu Hong opened his eyes slightly, glanced around, and continued to close his eyes to recuperate. I'm so tired! The speed of daily tonic can't keep up with the speed of venting, after being an emperor for 20 years, the wine has long been hollowed out of the body, and now it's so tossed, it's no wonder if you're not tired!
Jian Shuo racked his brains to think of such a method, dug a big pool and let those favorite concubines accompany Liu Hong to swim naked, looking forward to the fuss of this warbler Yanyan, maybe the emperor will forget about those unhappiness, at least it can be alleviated, and now it seems that there is still some effect!
In order to dig this pool, it cost a lot of money, and Jian Shuo also paid out of his own pocket to do it perfectly! No way, Liu Hong is Jian Shuo's lifeblood, so Jian Shuo must protect Liu Hong at all costs, who is the most loyal to Liu Hong in the Han world? Jian Shuo is definitely a well-deserved first!
Because Jian Shuo's heart is like a mirror, everything he has is given by Liu Hong, if Liu Hong suddenly farts, Jian Shuo will definitely not be able to die! Just by offending He Jin and the Ten Standing Servants, they can crush themselves to death without any suspense! So for the sake of the emperor, Jian Shuo can do whatever it takes, of course, except for his life, if his life is gone, what else does the emperor do? Now the royalist is a venture capital, in order to get greater benefits from the emperor, this is the fundamental!
Jian Shuo escorted Cai Yong to the West Garden, and the more Jian Shuo thought about it, the more angry he became, and the more he thought about it, the more painful he became, twenty-five million! That's it! It's all that damn Yuan Benchu, who dares to ignore our family! What the emperor wants is Cai Yan, and now he has a fart to catch Cai Yong? Want to use this to blackmail Zhuang Shaoyou? Hell it works!
Besides, who is Cai Yong? Contemporary Confucianism, with a great reputation, has spoken out countless times, but isn't he still alive and well? It is said that Liu Hong is really good to Cai Yong, in the past 20 years since he ascended the throne, anyone who dares to contradict the emperor will die without a place to be buried! Only Cai Yong is an outlier.
It's good, it's not good at both ends! Not only did the emperor's errand smash, but he also offended Zhuang Shaoyou, that's a rich man! It's only been less than two months, and tens of millions have been taken off from him! There's no hope now! It's such a big financial road that has been cut off!
Twenty-five million! Our family's heart! Annoyed! Remorse! Damn Yuan Benchu!
Jian Shuo finally came back to his senses, and couldn't help glaring at Yuan Shao next to him fiercely, but Yuan Shao still looked like nothing happened, pretending not to see! is so angry that the roots of his teeth are itchy, dogs, dare to use our family as a gunman! I really want to kill him! However, the Yuan family tree has deep roots and is too hard, so it is not easy to tidy! Not only can't you move him, but you have to win him over, otherwise this day of being full of enemies will not be easy!
The carriage finally arrived at its destination, Jian Shuo left Yuan Shao and Zhuang Shaoyou's advance behind, and the most important thing now was how to explain to the emperor! I couldn't help muttering: "This is our family's life!" Then he trotted towards Liu Hong's location, and Yuan Shao hurriedly followed.
When he arrived at the place, Jian Shuo didn't say a word, knelt down with a plop, kowtowed sharply, and said, "Your Majesty, the old slave has messed up the errand!" Please punish the emperor! ”
When Liu Hong heard Jian Shuo's voice, he immediately opened his eyes, released a hopeful gaze, looked around, and seemed to be looking for something, but he was soon disappointed, his eyes converged on Jian Shuo's body, and he frowned and said, "What about people?" ”
When Jian Shuo heard this, he quickly kowtowed again and said, "Your Majesty, when the old slave rushed to Cai Shangshu's mansion, the people had already left!" I left Luoyang last night! The old slave has failed the emperor's expectations, please punish the emperor! ”
Liu Hong was annoyed when he heard this: "Have you searched Cai Shangshu's mansion?" ”
Jian Shuo chuckled in his heart, it's bad, how did he forget this stubble at that time, if this is the old thing's delaying tactics, what if it's good? It's over, it's over!
Liu Hong looked at Jian Shuo's appearance, and asked coldly with an unkind expression: "You dog slave won't take the benefits of others again, and then come back to fool me, right?" Yes? ”
When Jian Shuo heard this, he was full of excitement, and quickly bowed to the ground and begged: "The emperor spares his life!" The slave works for the emperor wholeheartedly! Never took bribes! Please the emperor to see! ”
At this moment, Yuan Shao on the side stepped forward and saluted and said: "Your Majesty, Cai Shangshu's daughter left Luoyang last night, this is a conclusive thing, last night, at the south wharf of Luoyang City, Zhuang Shaoyou personally sent Cai Yan away!" This matter was seen by the slaves of the Weichen family! Absolutely true! Wechen can guarantee his life! ”
Jian Shuo, who kowtowed like pounding garlic next to him, suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and glanced at Yuan Shao gratefully, this guy is not so annoying!
When Liu Hong heard this, he lost his voice and said, "What? Gone last night? Really gone? ”
Immediately, he raised his head to the sky and shouted: "Let's go!" Let's go! Let's go! You're all hiding from me! Wow, you are going to the ends of the earth, and I will find you! ”
After roaring, he suddenly turned his head and shouted angrily: "Jian Shuo, Yuan Shao, order the two of you to quickly send troops to arrest Zhuang Shaoyou!" I'm going to ask him where he hid my Cai Yan! A woman who dares to hide my heart can be punished! Sin is unforgivable! I want to destroy other people! ”
Jian Shuo was terrified when he heard this, if this is the case, the consequences are unimaginable, Zhuang Shaoyou has 8,000 elites in his hands, and there are only 18,000 people in Xiyuan, and the combat effectiveness is not good, even if the fire is over, if Zhuang Shaoyou can be caught, it will be a defeat for both sides! What will you use to fight against He Jin when the time comes?
Some people are sad, some people are happy, for example, Yuan Shao at this time is very proud, Zhuang Shaoyou, Zhuang Shaoyou, aren't you very capable? This time, it depends on how you can get stuck, if you don't resist, you will definitely die, even if Liu Hong doesn't do it, someone will take the opportunity to fall into the well! If it resists, it is rebellion! Everyone in the world will be punished!
That's not enough, though!
Liu Hong rolled his eyes and continued to drink: "Send someone to the palace again to arrest He Lian's shrew!" ”
When Jian Shuo heard this, he almost fainted, which is equivalent to declaring war with the two camps at the same time! It's self-defeating! If you really want to do this, the result will be that Liu Hong will be placed under house arrest or deposed, or even killed! He Jin or Zhuang Shaoyou will take power, and then set up a new king! And Jian Shuo will definitely die!
Unable to care about it so much, Jian Shuo knelt on the ground, kowtowed and bleed, and said eagerly: "The emperor thinks twice!" Think again! This is absolutely unacceptable! Zhuang Shaoyou can't move for the time being, and the queen can't move! The consequences of this matter are too serious, Your Majesty, you know! Think again! ”
