The most thrifty emperor in history spent countless money on this man.

Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty was a wise monarch in history, and "the rule of Wen Jing" was the prosperous time of the Han Dynasty.

Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty was so thrifty that he could not bear to throw away a worn-out dress, but Deng Tong was an absolute exception. He loves him beyond measure and spends countless money on him.

Why is this?

He is a native of Nan 'an, Shu County, and his prosperity originated from a dream of Emperor Wen. Emperor Wen of China, like all emperors, has the illusion of immortality. "The poor sit at the table in the middle of the night and don't ask people ghosts and gods."

Once, he dreamed that he was about to arrive in fairyland, but he couldn't get on. Suddenly, someone pushed him from behind. Wendi Deng looked back and saw that the man was wearing a yellow hat with a skirt tied at the back.

After waking up, "ask people according to their dreams." As a result, he found Deng Tong, a yellow-haired man in line with his dream.

The name and homonym mentioned by Ban Shu made Emperor Wen very happy and gave him many possessions. This official worships doctors, and Emperor Wendi often goes to Deng Tong's house to play games.

On one occasion, Emperor Wendi asked a famous fortune teller to tell Deng Tong's fortune. The fortune teller said that Deng Tong would starve to death.

Wendi was very unhappy and didn't believe it. He said, I am the one who can make Deng Tong rich. How did he die of poverty?

So he gave Deng Tong the Yandao Copper Mountain in Shu County, giving him the right to make money, so he was as rich as an enemy.

Deng Tong did his duty in his post. Some people say that he has set an "industry standard" for this industry. He is very cautious and accompanies Wendy every day, even on holidays.

Wendi once had carbuncle, that is, skin ulceration, and Deng Tong often sucked the affected area.

Once, the prince was ill, and Emperor Wen of Han asked him to suck, but the prince looked reluctant. Later, I heard that Deng Tong had been doing it. I'm ashamed, so I hate Deng Tong.

Shortly after Liu Yuxi became king, Deng Tong was reported, and the king took the opportunity to nationalize all his possessions. Deng starved to death without money. The idiom "you get what you pay for" came from him.

Sima Qian quoted an old saying at that time: "Good people are not as good as good people." It is better to work hard than to meet a bumper harvest; It is better to be an official than to meet a king who appreciates himself.

However, it is not women who will curry favor with others, even scholars and officials. Sima Qian said this for nothing. Deng Tong's success is an example.

It seems that fame and fortune depend on opportunities. Without Wendi Deng's dream, Deng Tong might have been a boatman all his life.

However, Deng Tong, who gained fame and fortune, ended up penniless.

Confucius said, "Those who are rich and expensive want what they want. If you don't follow its path, you will have nowhere to get it. "

Deng Tong's ending fulfilled the fortune teller's words and traced the reason back to his "smoking carbuncle". There is an idiom "sucking carbuncle and licking hemorrhoids" in Chinese, which is used to satirize humble service to others. Deng Tong personally practiced this word. Actually, this idiom originated in Zhuangzi.

However, there are also people who are addicted to eschar in history.

According to Song Shunian's records, Liu Yong was from Juxian County, Dongguan. He has a hobby of eating scabies, saying that it tastes almost like abalone.

One day, Liu Yong went to visit Meng Lingxiu, a friend with sores. When he saw many scabs on the bed, he picked them up and ate them. Meng Xiu was afraid, so he peeled off all the scabs that had not peeled off and gave them to Liu Yong. He peeled off the scab and made it bleed again.

There are more than 200 officials in Nankang County under the jurisdiction of Liu Yong. Whether they are wrong or not, everyone will take turns getting whipped. The injured skin will scab, peel it off and give it to him.

If you just like to eat scabies, it can only be regarded as a quirk, but if you whip others for no reason because of the "supply" problem, it will be very hateful.

It is not as good as Deng Tong and Cao Shang. Although their behavior was disgusting, they were kind to others in the end and didn't do too much harm to others.
