Chapter 586 Dong Hu stepping on Dong Zhuo's shoes
Dong Zhuo is old and has no ambitions. He cannot become a member of the princes who fight for dominance in the world. However, he is a powerful minister of the Han Dynasty, and Dong Hu is a general under the Han Dynasty. At least before he changed his dynasty, he was the next general of Dong Zhuo, and the next general of the Han Dynasty.
He was the next general of Dong Zhuo and the general of the Han Dynasty. He naturally had to obey the above military orders. Once the two of them had a deviation in their military and political direction, they would definitely become hostile.
This is an inevitable result. For example, the previous imperial court suppressed a group of generals in Liangzhou. No dynasty would allow Dong Hu to be uncontrolled. Dong Zhuo could not control Dong Buyi Cong, and he would also suppress him. But now the enemy is strong and we are weak, and the strong external pressure forces uncle and nephew back to back. Once the enemy is weak and we are strong, it is another way. For example, now, Dong Zhuo reached out to take away the two counties of Hanoi and Yingchuan.
Dong Hu knew in his heart that Dong Zhuo had become an obstacle to his continued progress, unless the uncle and nephew had a clear division of labor, such as one being in charge of government affairs and the other being in charge of military affairs, which was impossible.
Dong Hu was unwilling to Dong Zhuo in his heart, and the Dong Min brothers continued to lie on his head. He was more willing to cooperate with the gentle eldest son Dong Mao, and he was more willing to have a clear division of labor between the two brothers, and Dong Mao was indeed good at handling internal affairs.
Sanya was the first to notice Diao Chan’s danger, and Wang Yun and Lu Bu were the first to detect the inappropriate things. Dong Hu was even more prescient. But the three of them chose to remain silent without exception and chose to let the situation develop.
But now, Dong Hu suddenly realized that Diao Chan was probably the only daughter of "Among Niang"...
I didn't sleep all night, not only did I have a bad appetite, but my mood was also much worse. After eating something casually, I came to the Grand Tutor's Mansion again. As soon as I arrived at the door, I saw Lu Bu with a cold face. Of course, he didn't want to have a good face with Lu Bu.
When I came to the room with strong herbal smell again, I saw a woman who looked like a lady between my eyebrows again. He just glanced at it...
"Tiger baby...Tiger baby!"
"ah?"
Seeing that the muddy boy was still distracted in front of the hospital bed, Dong Zhuo's old face turned a little dark.
"snort!"
"Let's ask you, what's going on with that money house?"
Dong Zhuo's face was unhappy, Dong Hu frowned slightly, and the next moment he turned into a boy scratching his head.
"Uncle, don't you want to steal our money house, right? That's the belly of hundreds of thousands of brothers, and you can't move..."
Just when Dong Zhuo was unhappy, Lu Bu pushed the door open and walked in outside the door.
"Qi reported to his adoptive father, Wang Situ, Zhong Sikong, and Zhao Taiwei asked for a meeting."
Dong Zhuo frowned, but nodded and agreed.
"allow."
Lu Bu left with a cold face and clasped his fists. Dong Hu hesitated.
"My uncle discusses major issues with the third official, so my nephew won't get involved..."
"snort!"
Dong Zhuo snorted coldly, but pointed at the grass dumpling on the side. Seeing this, Dong Hu could only walk to the corner under Diao Chan's strange gaze. At this time, Situ Wang Yun, Sikong Zongfu, and Taiwei Zhao Qian lifted the curtain and entered. Seeing the three big bosses entering, Diao Chan and the three of them greeted each other and left, looking at the corner of the boy bowed his head.
Dong Hu never got involved in the court. Except for Wang Yun, the other two people did not know each other. He did not know that Sikong Zongfu's father, Zhao Jie, was the grandfather of the Grand Marshal Zhao Qian, had been ranked as the third duke. He did not sleep all night. When several bigwigs began to discuss major events, they were sleepy...
"Tiger baby...Tiger baby!"
"exist!"
With a sudden shout, Dong Hu, whose head was drooping, woke up in a panic, and instinctively answered loudly, making others speechless...
"snort!"
Dong Zhuo was very angry. He was lying on the bed, and there were four big guys discussing the matter in the room. The guy was able to sleep soundly and snore!
"snort!"
Another snorted dissatisfaction.
"You kid can pay salaries to soldiers with paper money that doesn't have even a lot of copper. Today, Taicang is empty. We want to change big money to small money, can we?"
Dong Hu obviously hadn't woken up yet, and he didn't understand what was going on for a while, and was stunned for a moment...
"Why should I change it? Isn't it okay to reduce my salary?"
Dong Hu was puzzled, Dong Zhuo was stunned, but Zhao Qian frowned and said unhappy: "It is time for wheat grain to enter the warehouse. However, the price of one stone of grain is two thousand coins. After winter, it must be multiples or several times. Even the three officials are in trouble, let alone the minor officials? How can they reduce their salary?"
Zhong Fu seemed to dislike Dong Hu very much, so he clasped his fists to Dong Zhuo coldly and said, "The Taishi has just moved the capital to Chang'an, and the salary of the court officials has decreased accordingly. Yu Taishi's prestige is ultimately unfavorable. I hope the Taishi thinks twice!"
Wang Yun hurriedly clasped his fists and said, "There is a dilemma in Guanzhong. Now the thieves have retreated. All the ministers privately thought they would return to Luoyang..."
"hehe……"
The four three men turned around and saw Dong Hu kneading his numb legs.
"Whether you are willing to admit it or not, the world has entered the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period..."
"Bastard!" Zhao Qian was furious.
Dong Hu waved his hand and smiled with a smile on his face.
"Don't bother, sir. The wheat harvest has ended at this time. You are the three officials. Why not send people to each prefecture and county to send this year's taxes? If each prefecture and county pay the previous taxes to the court, my uncle can consider returning to the capital. If each prefecture and county do not pay... No matter what the reason, as long as the taxes are not paid, it means that the prefecture and county have become one of the three prefectures and counties have not yet succeeded. Now I will say that I will return to the capital Luoyang..."
Dong Hu looked at Wang Yun.
"Mr. Situ, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu brothers were not dead, and all the rebels were bewitched and returned to Luoyang before they were killed. This general has great reason to suspect that you are suspected of destroying my Han Dynasty."
Wang Yun's face turned red in an instant, and the Taiwei Zhao Qian pointed at Dong Hu and was furious.
"If the treacherous villain hadn't deceived the Grand Master and moved the capital, how could the court be so troubled?"
Dong Zhuo was about to speak and coughed violently. After a while, he pointed at Dong Hu and was displeased.
"Taiwei Zhao's words are reasonable. If you weren't a slut, we wouldn't have moved the capital, and the court wouldn't have been so troubled! You must give us money and food!"
“…”
Dong Hu was speechless, and regardless of what others thought, he got up and sat down next to Dong Zhuo. It was midsummer, and he didn't bother with whether the ground was dirty or not, and sat directly on the bedside.
"The difficulties in the court are not caused by nephews, but by the guys who are rebelling. They are caused by the failure of various prefectures and counties to send taxes to the treasury... Wang Situ, Zhong Sikong, Zhao Taiwei, don't think so. The court is the heart of the world. The thirteen governors in the world all need to pay taxes to the court, so that they can support all officials of the court. But now that the taxes are gone, wouldn't it be difficult? If you hope that the treasury is full, you should give full play to your strengths and convince the prefects of the counties and countries to send taxes."
Dong Hu turned his head and looked at Dong Zhuo sitting on the bed, saying, "My uncle knows that it is cold and poor. It would be nice if he doesn't ask the court for money, food, and disaster relief, or if he doesn't ask the court for military service. He has no way to transfer taxes to the court."
"Luoyang was besieged from all directions by the thieves, with as many as 300,000 soldiers and horses alone. Although we defeated 200,000 soldiers and horses, now... the thieves have recruited 250,000 soldiers and horses."
"One hundred thousand soldiers fought for several months and died in battle. There were countless injured people. My nephew knew that the court was in trouble. He did not ask the court for a penny or a grain of food, nor did he ask the court for any rewards on his own initiative."
Dong Hu turned to look at the frowning Wang Yun, Zhong Fu, and Zhao Qian, and even glanced at the figure behind the curtain.
"My uncle has not served in Luoyang. I wonder how many soldiers and horses can be raised in the twenty-one counties of Luoyang. The three adults always have a clear idea? I wonder if the three adults can support 100,000 soldiers and 50,000 war horses with only the land of Luoyang?"
Zhong Fu said coldly, "Luoyang cannot afford to support 100,000 soldiers and 50,000 war horses, but the world is already peaceful at this time. You stationed tens of thousands of troops in Luoyang to do evil, occupying millions of Luoyang and fertilizing the land! "
"snort!"
"Who said just now? No matter what the reason, not paying taxes is a rebel who splits the world!"
Dong Hu suddenly felt the pain of shooting himself in the foot...
"Okay, since that's the case, we'll just be willing to do it. We'll send a letter to Luoyang tomorrow and transport 10,000 stones of grain, which is considered to be taxed."
Everyone was speechless.
"Don't think it's too little. We've killed countless enemies. We didn't ask for anything, nor did we ask the court for money, grain and military pay. We also want to block the knife for you bastards who scold us. It would be good if we could take out ten thousand stones of grain tax."
"you……"
Zhong Fu suddenly stood up and pointed at Dong Hu and was about to be furious...
"You, if you are not willing to be the third minister, you can surrender to Yuan Shao. In this way, the court can lose several thousand stones of salary and save a lot of money!"
"Tiger baby!"
Dong Hu sat on the ground with his back against the edge of the bed. Dong Zhuo, who was just right on the bed, knocked on his head. When he heard him talking so badly, he looked at his big head without hesitation.
"It's getting more and more messy! How could you humiliate the three masters at will?"
"Let's go out and play, my uncle must keep us here... Besides, even if my uncle is the emperor, I can't give food to the soldiers, right?"
Dong Hu was angry and lowered his head and muttered, "My uncle is sick in bed. Situ Wang Yun is from Taiyuan, Sikong Zongfu is from Luoyang, Taiwei Zhao Qian is from Shu County, Weiwei Zhang Wen is from Wu County, Taichang Ma Riyi is from Fufeng, Taifu Zhao Qi is from Jingzhao, Guanglu Dafu Huang Wan is from Jiangxia, Guanglu Dafu Chunyu Jia is from Jinan, Shaofu Yang Biao is from Hongnong... There are so many officials in the court, but there is no one in Liangzhou, and my Liangzhou people are all fighting for the country in the army."
"The generals in the army are fighting and don't care about money and food. What does the court have to do with the generals?"
"The generals were defeated and the court punished the generals. The three dukes could not take out money and food. It would be good if they didn't dismiss the three dukes from their posts. Is it okay to even reduce their salary and punish them?"
"We don't accept it!"
"Why are they just doing nothing? They can get a salary of three or four hundred stones every month? We and my brothers have been killed for ten years for the imperial court, and have not seen a salary of one penny or one grain of grain yet?"
"We don't accept it!"
Dong Hu seemed to be angry and kicked Dong Zhuo's shoes far away. Dong Zhuo was angry and helpless when he looked at Wang Yun, Zhong Fu, and Zhao Qian, and frowned again.
"You have also seen it. The boy said that you are just eating and not working, and said that we have given you the entire court. If you can't eat by yourself, you won't blame us!"
"We have decided that the money that the fool can spend is enough, so we can definitely spend the big money to small money. This is the matter."
Wang Yun said anxiously: "Prince, please think twice. Now one stone of grain has increased to two thousand coins. If you change the small amount of money, it will inevitably increase to more than ten thousand coins!"
Dong Zhuo waved his hand and pointed at Dong Hu again and said, "The muddy boy's paper money is nothing but copper. Isn't it just a penny? We changed it to small money, which is better than the muddy boy's paper money, right? This matter is settled!"
