Chapter 56 5. The temptation of monopoly

Regarding Liu Qing, Liu Da did not do anything wrong, but handed him over to Empress Dou to raise him.For this reason, Liu Da also specially confessed to Empress Dou that Liu Qing must be treated with the enthusiasm of taking care of the prince.Liu Qing eats whatever the prince eats, and Liu Qing wears whatever the prince wears. Empress Dou took over to raise Liu Qing, and she did not object.However, sister Song Guiren died, and her heart disease has not been cured.The problem is not with Liu Qing, a brat, but with another woman.She is also a noble person in the harem, known as Liang Guiren.

Coincidentally, Liang Guiren also entered the palace with sisters.The reason why Empress Dou took aim at these two sisters was not for any other reason, but because Liang Guiren was the biological mother of Prince Liu Zhao. In this life, one can learn everything well, only the realm is not easy to learn.To transcend oneself and reach a high level, one must be born with understanding.In the harem of the Han Dynasty, the best savvy is probably Empress Ma, and the worst is Empress Zhao Feiyan in the late Western Han Dynasty.Empress Ma not only feeds other people's children, but also is not jealous, so she takes the initiative to find beautiful women for Liu Zhuang.Sisters Zhao Feiyan and Zhao Hede couldn't, because they were afraid that the women in the harem would occupy the beds of their two sisters.Anyone who slept with Liu Ao was dragged to be poisoned and aborted by them, creating a tragedy in the world, which can be described as appalling.

Compared with Queen Ma and Queen Zhao, Queen Dou is in the middle.First of all, even though she killed Song Guiren's sisters, she was not as cruel as Zhao Feiyan, who would kill one by one.Secondly, she is not as open-minded as Queen Ma, who is open-minded. To be honest, she was no less worried about the pair of sisters Liang Guiren than Song Guiren was.What she was worried about was that sister Liang Guiren would steal her business one day. Liang Guiren's father's name is Liang Song.Liang Song's father is Liang Tong, and his elder brother is Liang Song.Back then, Liang Tong and Dou Rong were close comrades-in-arms.Later, Liang Song and Dou Gu were both Liu Xiu's sons-in-law, and they had a disgraceful history of stepping on Ma Yuan together.However, since Liu Zhuang killed Liang Song, the Liang family, like the Dou family, went bankrupt.All the relatives of the Liang family were expelled from Luoyang City.

Liang Song had three daughters, and two of them were sent to the palace. If the guess is correct, the Liang family also came to gamble.Liang Guisheng's son was named the prince, and Liang Guiren was also favored.If things go on like this, the Liang family will stand up and be a man, and the day when they will be proud is not far away. However, there is only one good business in the harem, and if Queen Dou does it, nobleman Liang has to stand aside.But the problem is that after Queen Dou found out, the relatives of the Liang family didn't want to step aside.They had secretly held a celebration party behind their backs, but in public, they tried their best to suppress their inner excitement and pretended to be indifferent.

In fact, they are all ready. One day, as long as the crown prince Liu Zhao becomes the emperor, the Liang Group is ready to regroup and re-enter the market to seize territory. To achieve high profits in business, it is a complete monopoly, and one family dominates.If the Liang family wanted to rob business, it must be robbing the Dou family. Of course Queen Dou would not do it.Therefore, she had to kill the Liang family's dreams in the cradle before they moved. Empress Dou believed that if she wanted to rectify Liang nobles and sisters, she should not start with them, but with their father Liang Song.Because she found that counting Liang Song in the Liang family was the most troublesome, but it was also the easiest to do.

Liang Song, courtesy name Shujing.This guy has great ambitions, but unfortunately his fate is not good. After Liang Song was killed, the whole family was demoted to Jiuzhen County (now Thanh Hoa City, Vietnam).At that time, there were no trains, no planes, no highways.From Luoyang to Vietnam, all the way through mountains and rivers, the bitterness of it is only known to those involved. Liang Song, who was exiled, watched the mountains and waded along the way, reciting poems and composing Fu.When passing Yuanxiang, he thought of Wu Zixu and Qu Yuan, and couldn't help thinking sadly that Qu Yuan was right in front of him, and he was the innocent Qu Yuan.When he was sad, he wrote "Mourning Fu", which was attributed to Shi Chenjiang.

The river is long and the world is ruthless.Close your eyes, the muddy tears flow lightly, as if you heard the wind of the years once rang the wind chimes of youth in your heart. After Liang Song arrived in Jiuzhen, he came back soon.It's an edict issued by Liu Zhuang, saying that Jiuzhen's place is quite far away, so I'll move you to another house.Liang Song didn't expect that Liu Zhuang didn't find out his conscience and called him back to Luoyang, but only allowed him to live in his hometown Wushi. Wushi, which is today's northwest of Liangshi, Gansu Province.Moving from the far south to the far northwest, is this sincere concern, or punishment in disguise?

For Liang Song, it seemed that nothing mattered.The family had an accident, and he was drifting in the wind and rain for thousands of miles, and suddenly realized that the world was nothing more than this, so he thought about everything.So, Liang Song, who returned to Wuzhi, kept his door behind closed doors, kept his ears shut, and enjoyed reading all day long. In addition to reading, Liang Song often writes books, which is his only pleasure.He never cared about making money, and he couldn't go hungry anyway, because people often sponsored him.The person who sponsored him was Liang Song's wife, Princess Wuyin.It is said that if there is a mother, there must be a daughter. Liu Xiu's daughter has the virtue of a queen mother, and she will help all the children of the Liang family.But Liang Song was depressed and hopeless, so she couldn't help but help more.

However, Liang Song didn't care about anything.Princess Wuyin gave him the money, and he distributed it to the other children of the Liang family.Why do you need so much money? My wife died early, and my daughter was raised by Princess Wuyin.He was alone with no worries, he was born and raised in Luoyang when he was a child, he wanted to go back but couldn't go back, he didn't want to stay in this corner of Wushi, he couldn't go anywhere, where could he spend his money? Of course, Liang Song also went out sometimes.He often climbs high and looks far away alone.He once sighed: "A man lives in the world, he is a marquis in his lifetime, and he is a temple food in his death. Otherwise, living in leisure can nourish his ambition, and his poems and books are enough to entertain himself. The post of state and county is futile."

In his eyes, the positions in the state and county are just busy work, not worth the hard work.Therefore, many imperial edicts came from Luoyang City, asking him to go back to be an official, but he refused.He has only one dream, to be a marquis in his lifetime and to be a temple food in his death.If it was just a dream, he would admit it. I can finally see it, Liang Song is a typical literati sentiment.Do things for people, free and undisciplined, without rules.And he didn't know that just when he was lamenting the bad luck and praising wealth and honor like floating clouds, someone was observing his every move and reporting to Queen Dou in Luoyang City in the form of flying letters.

Soon, Empress Dou thought it was time to close the net.So he sent someone to arrest Liang Song and torture him. No one knew what the result was.In the end, he was charged with deliberate treason and killed in prison. Liang Song was killed, and the Liang family was relegated to Jiuzhen County again.Sister Liang Guiren cried every day and didn't respond, and the place of crying was ineffective, and she died in depression. The business of the harem was finally monopolized by Empress Dou alone. Liang's house is gone, but Ma's shop is still open.The store is open, but business is not as smooth as before.The main reason is that after the death of Empress Dowager Ma, the emperor Liu Da didn't take care of the Ma family so much, and his enthusiasm was all used in the great cause of helping the upstarts of the Dou family. As a result, the popularity of Majiadian plummeted.The guests who used to come to Ma's house to get close to each other, now all turned around and ran away, and came to Dou's house.Seeing that the store's business is not getting better day by day, some people in the Ma family can't sit still. It's a young man who can't sit still.He was Ma Yu, the son of Ma Liao, who was a captain of the infantry at that time.The reason why he is depressed is mainly because he is often constrained in his work.Ever since, I wrote a letter to my superior to express my dissatisfaction. Unexpectedly, as soon as the letter was sent, it was intercepted by the most mysterious organization in history-the relevant unit. Then, they moved quickly to impeach Ma Yu, even Ma Fang and Ma Guang.The content of the impeachment is as follows: Ma's family is rich, and the treatment they enjoy far exceeds their status.He really behaved well after getting the benefits, and even had the nerve to express his dissatisfaction with the Holy Majesty.They should be removed from their official positions, driven out of Luoyang City, and returned to their feudal country. Liu Da had nothing to say about the above opinions and approved them.However, just as the Ma family was on their way, he suddenly stopped someone. The person Liu Da called to stop was Ma Guang.He deliberately told others that all three of my uncles have returned to Fengguo, and no one plays with me, which hurts my heart too much.I decided to keep Uncle Ma Guang with me. This is my family business, and the relevant departments should stop harassing me by talking nonsense. In fact, Ma Guang was more restrained than Ma Fang, so Liu Da stayed behind.Ma Fang is too outrageous, he is a billionaire and even engages in the underworld.In this way, Ma Guang continued to retain the special treatment and stayed in Luoyang City.However, the power of the Ma family is like the east of the Yangtze River, once gone it will never return.Soon, Ma Yu was arrested for unknown reasons, tortured to death in prison. The so-called success is also Liu Da, and failure is also Liu Da.At this point, Majiadian has basically withdrawn from the political market in Luoyang.At this time, Dou's company went public. The old era has passed, and a fiery era is about to begin.
