Deng Tong's father, Mr. Deng, avoided the war at the end of Qin Dynasty in the early days of People's Republic of China (PRC). He has a well-off family and studied for several years. Three daughters were born in succession, and the wife finally gave birth to a son for her, which was naturally regarded as the apple of her eye. Because the official road from Nanyang County in the north of the village to runan county has only been built for more than ten years, Deng Xianfang, who has lived for half his life, only saw the galloping of post horses, so he named his son "Tong". When he was young, Deng read classics and studied literature. In addition to watching horses and chariots along the official road in the north of the village, he spends more time playing, fishing and catching shrimp in the south Hexi, which is rich in aquatic plants. In the year of weak crown, I didn't see much improvement in my studies, but I learned a good skill of drawing water to shore up a boat. In the early years of the Western Han Dynasty, there were roughly three kinds of career paths for scholars: one was a Langguan, who had moderate property at home (more than 100,000 property was changed to 40,000 by Emperor Jingdi), and he had his own living expenses for horses and chariots, so he could go to Beijing to be a Langguan and wait for the court to use it; One is to be a small official in this county, regardless of property; One is the roll call of the big government, which should have a high name. By the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, counties and counties advocated filial piety and scholars. In this case, Deng Xian, who has a lot of wealth, had to buy clothes for horses and chariots, bid farewell to Deng Tong, who was still a child, and came to Chang 'an, the capital, to find a way to worship the ancestors and highlight the lintel for the Deng family.
Enter the palace and gain power.
Deng Tong, a young man, didn't feel tired all the way. Because of his sincere disposition, he was good at rowing, and soon he was recruited into the palace to be a yellow-headed lang, who was in charge of sailing full-time.
Liu Heng, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, was kind, filial and generous, but he also had the common faults of emperors: he believed in ghosts and gods, lived a long life and dreamed of going to heaven. Once, Wendi Deng dreamed of going to heaven, but she couldn't go there anyway. At this time, a yellow-headed wolf pushed him up from behind. Looking back, he saw the yellow-headed wolf wearing a light coat, with his waist sideways and a belt tied behind his back. After waking up, Wendi went to the terrace of Cangchi in the west of Weiyang Palace, privately looking for Huang Toulang who pushed him to heaven in his dream, and saw Deng Tong's clothes tied from behind, just as he had seen in his dream. When he was called to ask his name, his surname was Deng Tongming, and his voice was almost "Deng Tong". Wendi was very happy after listening to it, and then he spoiled him day by day. Deng Tong is gentle and cautious. He doesn't like publicity, and he is even less sociable. Although Wendy gave him several holidays, he still didn't go out to play. So Emperor Wen rewarded Deng Tong more than a dozen times before and after, totaling hundreds of millions of yuan.
Monopoly coinage
One day, Emperor Wen of Han ordered Xu to face it. Xu Fu said, "Deng Tong will be poor and starve to death." Deng Wendi said: "I am the one who can make Deng Tong rich. How can I say that he will be poor? " So he gave Deng Tong all the copper mountains near his hometown and allowed him to make coins.
After the news that Emperor Wendi had given his hometown copper mountains the size of coins reached his hometown, relatives and neighbors all ran around and sent messages to each other. Very grateful to the emperor's kind father, he led his daughter and son-in-law to hire craftsmen to collect copper, burn charcoal and cast money in Tongshan area. He strictly followed Deng Tong's instructions, carefully studied every money, and he never made money by doping lead and iron. Therefore, Deng Tong's currency is shiny, thick, uniform in thickness and pure in texture. From princes and ministers, to wealthy businessmen and tycoons, to peasant pawns, they all like money. Wu has a large circulation, and Deng Tongqian wins with excellent quality. During this period, Wu He minted coins all over the country.
die miserably
Deng Tong was the courtier of Emperor Wendi of China. He has no other skills, only a set of flattery skills, so he tries his best to flatter China's Wendi, often holding Wendi in a fog. Emperor Wen of Han loved him more and often went to Deng Tong's house to play various games with him.
One day, Emperor Wendi asked a fortune teller to visit the fortune teller in Deng Tong. The fortune teller bluntly said to Wendi, "Dr. Deng will starve to death because of poverty in the future." Wendi was very unhappy after hearing this. He said angrily to Deng Tong, "If I want you to be rich, what's the difficulty?" Say, imperial edict, give Shu county flue Tongshan, allow it to cast money. Since then, Deng Tong has become very rich. Deng Tong was deeply loved by Emperor Wen, grateful and eager to repay him.
Wendi suffers from carbuncle. Because of his affection and kindness, Deng often sucks the affected area for him. Deng Wendi asked Deng Tong in dismay, "Who loves me the most in the world?" Deng Tong replied, "No one should love you more than the prince." Later, the prince entered the palace to meet Wendi's illness, and Wendi asked him to suck the affected area. When the prince sucked, his face turned pale. Later, he heard that Deng Tong often smoked carbuncle for the emperor. He was ashamed, but he also hated him for it.
A few years later, Wendi died and the prince succeeded to the throne. This is Jing Di. As soon as Jingdi ascended the throne, he first deposed Deng Tong, seized Tongshan and confiscated all his property. Poor Deng Tong is richer than the prince, but once in trouble, he is as penniless as a beggar. Finally, he accepted Xu's promise and starved to death in the streets.
