    ps: Thanks to the love of book friends, Wu Mei, who is clumsy and tongue-tied, has also asked for many monthly votes. I can only describe it with gratitude!  I can only work hard to update and write good books to repay everyone.  .  23 In the past few days, a news has spread widely in Chang'an City. Chen Jixu, the prince of Tangyi Marquis, and Chen Xi, the Longlu Marquis, committed suicide in the Lieutenant Mansion Prison out of fear of crime.  The Chen brothers committed suicide and flew into the homes of ordinary people in Chang'an as if they had wings. Many people were surprised that the "second family" that was so popular at that time fell apart quietly.  Chen Wu, the Marquis of Tangyi, indulged his son in lawlessness and failed to teach him the right way. He removed the Marquis from the country and demoted him to a commoner.  Princess Guantao was lying on the hospital bed. She couldn't sit still when she heard the punishment. She had just reconciled with her husband, who had been at odds for thirty-five years, and suddenly she had to face the fact that her son was poisoned on her order, and her husband was killed.  She was a little confused about the bad situation involving the Marquis.  Every day she went to Changxin Palace to cry, her life was ruined, and the only person she could rely on was her mother, the Empress Dowager Dou Yifang.  The next day, in the backyard of Pingyang Hou Mansion.  "Sure enough, the title has been restored." "After all, the Marquis of Tangyi is the emperor's maternal uncle (father-in-law). Besides, the Marquis of Tangyi has already passed away. It would be too cruel to deprive him of his title." Liu Wei talked about the family affairs of his aunt Liu, a kind little woman.  She had also hated her aunt for being ruthless, but when she saw her aunt nearly breaking down, crying and begging, she still felt compassion.  "The Chen brothers died unjustly. Chen Wu should be held accountable for not reporting the knowledge. If he treated Chen Wu cruelly, wouldn't Peng Yue, who died unjustly, be angry to death?" Liu Wei was startled, came back to his senses and gouged out his eyes again:  "The gentleman is scaring me again. How can Liang Wang and Pengyue survive like this?" "Haha, all the five baht coins in our family have been exchanged for gold and silver?" "The last copper coin has been exchanged. The price of silver has gone up.  60%. The price of gold has almost doubled. Is it worth it? " "Of course it is worth it! Have you forgotten that your husband is the one who made the money law? It is useful for you to deal with money early. The next step is gold coins and silver coins.  Launching it all at once will impact the market, and the price of gold will rise another 10%, while the price of silver will skyrocket until it exceeds the total currency price. Now exchange gold and silver and then sell them for half a tael of copper. We can increase our assets by making one positive and one negative.  "Double it." Liu Huan felt a little uneasy, holding the handkerchief and worried: "Isn't that too bad? It's a wealthy family and businessman who has hidden gold." "Wouldn't your husband steal or rob?  . I do business with my conscience and never cheat anyone. Gold and silver transactions are done in a fair manner based on the market price. How can I be called a bad person? Besides, don¡¯t you think so?  Liu Wei rolled his eyes and said, "I don't think this gentleman is a good person at all. I feel more like a bad guy." The next day, a new banner was suddenly raised in the ordinary money exchange shops in Chang'an City.  The people gathered around to take a closer look, and suddenly there was an uproar: "From now on, the money exchange shop will accept all gold and silver at the official price. If you have gold and silver precious metals at home, you can bring gold utensils here to exchange for five baht coins. Once found, those who commit fraud will be recorded and punished."  "The old scholar in a cloth robe frowned and said, "What do you mean by the young man's unlimited access to gold and silver?" "Oh! We may have lost money." The middle-aged businessman patted his head and turned around.  "Don't go! Do you want to tell me what's going on?" The middle-aged businessman was surrounded by dozens of people, and he bowed helplessly: "Can you please help me? The gold and silver in my hand were just given to me a few days ago.  After cashing it out, several big benefactors spent a lot of money and made the reservation early. After several months of preparation, I collected 5,000 kilograms of gold and 21,000 kilograms of platinum (silver). Now that I have paid off the credit loan, I only have 5,000 jins of gold and 21,000 jins of platinum (silver).  There is a pile of five baht left. I thought I had made ten million, but now it seems that I have lost a lot. " "You are saying that there were signs of this gold and silver fluctuation as early as a few years ago?  We went up a few months ago, but ordinary people don¡¯t usually have access to gold and silver, so they don¡¯t understand the market. Which one of our merchants doesn¡¯t take out all the money and exchange it into gold and silver? As far as I know, Guanzhong is now  The scattered gold and silver is less than one-third of what it was before, and at least half of the gold and silver in Kanto has been redeemed. If I go to Kanto later, I'm afraid it will be too late. Please lend me a way to go first." The onlookers were slightly startled.  Watching the middle-aged businessman disappear from the crowd in the blink of an eye.  The middle-aged Confucian scholar standing in the crowd said nothing and pulled two little children who were standing on tiptoe to watch the excitement out. The children were twin brothers. The two children were about eleven or twelve years old. Half complaining and half coquettishly said: "Mr.  Feng¡¯er and Yun¡¯er, let¡¯s watch for a while!¡± One of the children is named Tang Feng and the other is named Tang Yun. The older Tang Feng is quieter, while the younger Tang Yun is lively and mischievous. The two are middle-aged Confucian scholars and a refugee who is about to die of illness.  My son, that year coincided with the end of the Seven Kingdoms Rebellion between Wu and Chu.Due to famine and plague caused by war and river damage in the Kingdom of Zhao, the two infant children were given to middle-aged Confucian scholars. This lasted eleven years.  Tang Feng was more sensible. He stepped on his younger brother and said, "Sir, the home of Tingwei Tian Fu is just ahead." The middle-aged scholar raised his head and looked at the plaque, which read the four gilded characters of Wu'an Hou Family.  "Is it right for me to come here?" The middle-aged Confucian scholar hesitated for a moment and shook his head with a wry smile. He spent half his life studying poetry and books, but he successfully studied in Qilu and met close friends by chance. The more the three of them talked, the more they became speculative and formed a brotherhood.  With the guidance and help of his elder brother, he studied hard for more than ten years and wrote the masterpiece "Gongyang Chunqiu".  He is the youngest among the three brothers, and he is also the most ambitious among the three brothers. More than thirty years have passed since he was enlightened, and the first half of his life has passed quietly. His ambition is still far away, until he received a letter "Calling the virtuous and upright"  "When the edict was introduced to the counties, he rekindled his hope. There was no chance to promote virtuous and upright people while promoting filial piety and incorruptibility. His flexible mood was extinguished by cold water in his pocket within a few minutes. There is no such thing as Confucianism about being virtuous and upright.  Seeing that those who were not as good as him successfully passed the primary and secondary elections, but he himself had no chance at all, resentment, annoyance and helplessness surged in his heart. He finally couldn't help but let go of his body and came to Chang'an to pursue a career and become a glorious but sad "channan".  "Drift" family. ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? The door opened a crack, and the doorkeeper glanced at the three masters and servants: "Who are you looking for?" "I am Dong Zhongshu, a Confucian scholar from Guangchuan County. I had several correspondence exchanges with the Marquis of Wu'an before, and I came here today to seek refuge.  "Dong Zhongshu handed over the greeting card and took out a dozen copper coins and put them inside.  The servant who looked after the door sank slightly as he took the invitation.  His face suddenly lit up with joy: "It turns out it's Mr. Dong from Guangchuan that Junhou often mentioned. Please wait a moment and come back!" Bang!  The door is closed again.  Tang Yun's palm-sized face twisted into a ball of regret: "Sir, those fifteen five-baht coins are our three-day accommodation and meal expenses. You are really willing to give it to the little servant who looks after the door!" "Me too!  I don¡¯t want to give it, but if we don¡¯t find a place to live in Chang¡¯an when we first arrive, we will have to leave in less than half a month, so we can¡¯t give it!¡± Dong Zhongshu sighed.  There are many Confucian scholars like Dong Zhongshu who have fled everywhere.  They have no chance to promote filial piety and honesty, and have no chance to promote virtuous and upright people. For political demands, they are willing to seek help from wealthy families to drive them.  ??Ten miles south of Beique Jiadi.  racetrack.  Tian Fu is sitting in the VIP area and knows nothing. He will not remember in his mind that he had exchanged letters with the Confucian scholar ten years ago. At that time, he was just a low-level bureaucrat with a six-stone salary.  His sister is still Mrs. Wang.  His nephew was still the King of Jiaodong, and he was still an ordinary person struggling to be promoted to Qianshi. At that time, he still retained a sense of awe for the Confucian masters, so he handed over this letter and asked for help as a student.  Got a few questions.  Time has changed, and he is one of the nine ministers with a salary of two thousand stone. He is in charge of the world's criminal and prison proceedings, and his status is much higher than that of Da Xingling.  But Confucianism was unlucky and fell from the altar into the abyss, and both sides fell 180 degrees.  When we meet again it will be different.  "Come on! Come on Team Parkson! Hit the ball hard, yes! Well done." Tian Fu is watching a polo match. He is a polo fanatic and plays every polo match almost every day.  , even Tingwei's official duties were left to the staff to handle.  The scale of the racecourse is extraordinary. The polo match is divided into different zones for simultaneous competition. You only need to draw lines on the running distance of the horses. This is a complete polo match lawn, a four-kilometer track, only counting the lime sprinkled on it.  The actual area of ??the racecourse's lawn is slightly larger than the approximate oval track. An ordinary polo field is 300 meters long and 200 meters wide. The huge racecourse can hold 15 polo matches at the same time.  The venues for polo matches are stacked side by side, with no space stuck in the middle. They are surrounded by bamboo fences on three sides, and the goalposts on both sides are hung to form a closed court.  Tian Fu made a lot of bets on Parkson. He spent a total of 5 million to buy a victory with a 10-goal margin. Parkson lived up to expectations and suppressed his opponents throughout the game. He led by five goals after three rounds. It was extremely promising.  Hope to have a 10-goal margin of victory.  Ji Fu sighed: "Junhou, you should watch less penalty kicks." "What am I going to do if I don't watch the ball? Go to Tingwei Mansion to drink tea and be in a daze?" Tian Fu glanced at him and continued to enjoy the game, holding his hand  The telescope inside is a sharp tool. You can see the people on the opposite side of the stands. Many single men like to take the opportunity to look at the beautiful women opposite. Tian Fu will occasionally take a few glances to satisfy his eyesight.  "Then you shouldn't come to see polo. During your tenure, you didn't even recognize the officials of Tingwei Mansion. There are complaints against you." "Huh! Now the imperial court is full of officials.You guys have the final say, how capable can I, a foreign relative, be?  When his elder brother became the Crown Prince and Tutor, he focused on dawdling around. He has never entered the Weiyang Palace since he took up the new job. He comes to the racecourse every day to answer errands. No one except Dou Ying is too busy arranging goods.  If we want to do things, we are just the yes-men in the court, why should we accept that anger?  If anything happens in Tingwei Mansion, just tell me, and the personnel will be left as they are.  "It's not that Tian Fu has no ambition to pursue power. His power has not decreased but has increased. It's just that the current situation in the court has nothing to do with him, a soy-making minister. The three ministers and nine ministers were kicked out of the court by Cao Shi.  Yes, the Chen family was also overthrown by Cao Shi himself. These glorious achievements had nothing to do with him. He just watched the whole process and luckily got the job of Tingwei. On the first day of taking office, he discovered the Tingwei Mansion.  Everyone admired Cao Shi, and almost fell down in front of him and called him Tingwei. He couldn't do anything he wanted to do. He wanted to weaken the reputation of Cao Shi in Tingwei's house, but he was immediately said to be jealous.  , with the scheming Mao Zi on his head, Tian Fu knew that as a Tingwei, he was destined to become a puppet. If Cao Shi was very popular in the past, he was a popular big shot, but now Cao Shi is at the top of his game, and no one will do it anymore.  It was easy to question his position as the Nine Ministers. No one would say that the sixteen-year-old Shaofu was dishonorable. His political performance was like a perfect score in the examination, and the Empress Dowager was almost impeccable.  She is so angry that she is still unable to recover from her injuries. Princess Tao is almost blinded by tears. The Dou family is lying quietly like a dead dog, pretending to be dead. Who dares to object? No, anyone who has ever had an opinion?  Pretending to be dead in a collective, he will either retire and return to his hometown, or die in the Lieutenant's Mansion Prison. He is a soy-making Jiuqing. He once showed dissatisfaction with Wei Wan when fighting outside the court, and personally criticized Cao Shi for not following the rules and not knowing how to advance or retreat.  Unlike other princes and ministers who remained neutral, and did not rush to apologize afterward, the criticism was just a trivial matter in his eyes, and there was no need to make a fuss about it. It was not until that long night that Tian Fu realized that he was wrong.  He clearly understood that he would never have the chance to apologize. Cao Shi would never accept the surrender of a defeated general again, and even if he accepted it, it would not be sincere. The reason why he was not touched now was because of his nephew Liu Che, and the reason why he was promoted to the rank of Tingwei was also  His nephew Liu Che, Cao Shi just nodded and did not raise any objection throughout the process. Not objecting did not mean that he agreed. Sometimes it was acquiescence, sometimes it was tolerance, and sometimes it was a pause waiting for a full blow, and he couldn't guess.  I don¡¯t want to speculate. With the current ability and force, there is no way to defeat Cao Shi. Even his nephew Liu Che is not necessarily reliable. The only way for now is to hide and pretend to be dead. Don¡¯t show your ambition and don¡¯t show off. No matter how powerful you are, it¡¯s hard to pretend.  The dead people take action. "The imperial censor has already piled up bullets against the princes.  " "Censor?  Ask Zhang Ou for his opinion. Without their leader's nod, no matter how many bullets the censor has, it won't matter. It's just scratching an itch.  "Tian Fu doesn't care about the imperial censor. In his eyes, these people are not even qualified to be the emperor's hawks and dogs. They have no chance to interfere in the military and state affairs in the court. They are just a group of slaves who serve the emperor and amuse him. They are just like  The eunuchs (eunuchs), the eunuchs, and the eunuchs are almost the same. And in terms of intimacy, they are not as good as the eunuchs who serve the emperor all day long. In terms of admiration, they are not as good as the brave and strong eunuchs. They are just a little better than the eunuchs with a missing organ in the lower body. They want to scold them.  Just scold Yes, anyway, people speak lightly, and the right to speak in public opinion does not lie in Yes¡¯s hands. ¡°How long do you plan to hide?  " "It depends on the situation. It doesn't matter even if I am dismissed from office one day. If I find an opportunity to go to Changqiu Palace to say a few words, I can get Jiuqing Dangdang at any time. When I am in my position and have Jiuqing's experience in governing, it will be very easy for me to come back."  Easy. How is the field you helped me get now?  " Ji Fu then said: "There are 2,500 hectares of fertile farmland in Qinghe County and Qian County. The terrain is flat and connected to the north of the river. New corn has been planted this spring. This land has taken a lot of effort. The three local elders handed it to Chang'an.  There were hundreds of reports, and I worked hard to intercept 60 of them. The others may have entered Chang'an City.  " "Thank you for your hard work. I'm not afraid that Marquis Pingyang will know about the occupation of the land. I will prepare some money to send away all the troublemakers when I go back. If the land is sold cheaper, you can also rent seeds. Tell them not to mess around, otherwise I won't be polite.  "Tian Fu said with a ferocious expression.
