Chapter 216: The Demon Queen
After learning about Tsinghua College, Li Xiaonuan quieted down again. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 Mostly, she's thinking about the future of her life.
That night, she gave King Jing an idea, that is, to occupy the land as the king. That's right, it's to be its own and occupy the land as the king. Since the Qi Song Continent can't accommodate them, why don't you go out to other places and dominate yourself.
That night, King Jing also told her about Zhao Wangchuan's life experience. It turned out that Zhao Lichuan was indeed the emperor's son. It stands to reason that he is still a son-in-law. It's just that the emperor cares about others, and after ascending the throne, he demoted Wei Lu, who was the crown princess, to a concubine and made his beloved woman the queen.
It was also at that time that the people of the Wei family knew that the emperor was just using their power to ascend the throne. In particular, the woman who was named the queen had already given birth to the emperor's eldest son.
At that time, the Wei clan was very angry, and even began to resist the implementation of the current emperor's policies to show their dissatisfaction. But as a result, many people in the Wei clan were degraded and dismissed.
The most hateful thing is that those official positions vacated by the Wei family were quickly taken up by the children of the queen's maiden family. For a while, the queen's maiden family, who was once only a middle-class family, suddenly jumped into the ranks of the prominent family in the capital.
Its power quickly crushed those big families in the capital. Even those royal relatives did not dare to provoke the queen's mother's family.
Especially later, those ministers used to attack the queen's mother's mother, Wei Lu's mother and son, and finally died in the fire in the deep palace where the guards were strictly forbidden. That incident shocked everyone and frightened them.
In order to save the lives of their clansmen and their families, the officials wisely kept their mouths shut. After all, all the policies of the emperor are intended for the people and the country. They don't have to care too much about whether the queen and the eldest prince are right, as long as the emperor is happy.
The Wei clan is even more cautious. When they were sad and angry, they had to hold up a smiling face to deal with this emperor who was not mediocre at all. But they did not give up investigating the matter of Wei Lu's mother and son. Because the matter was too strange, and the reply given by the emperor was too perfunctory.
But this time, the Wei clan people have learned to be foolish. They succumbed to all the arrangements of the emperor, but quietly sent the forces of their clan to develop elsewhere. But for the matter of Wei Lu's mother and son, they never showed compromise.
They are still-for-tat with the queen family, correcting each other's mistakes, and even taking advantage of the situation to crush the queen family. They only used this to make their position clear and divert the attention of the Emperor so that the Wei people could be diverted.
Sure enough, their choice was ultimately correct. The emperor owes a debt to the Wei family, so he just turns a blind eye to their behavior. This creates an illusion. That is, the emperor actually still favors the Wei family very much.
Only the people of the Wei family know that the emperor has actually been guarding against the Wei clansmen. It's just that they never did anything out of the ordinary, so the emperor left them alone.
Wei Yu's joining the imperial guard is actually one of the means that the emperor wants to balance the Wei family and the empress's mother's family. The Wang family of the queen's mother's family, because the background can't keep up, the children of those clans are bullying people and bullying men and women repeatedly.
In recent years, there have even been rumors from all sides that the children of the Wang clan have begun to disregard human lives and encroach on the land. They also coerced local officials and colluded with them.
Incredibly, the empress not only did not punish those children and ordered them to stop their heinous acts, but also always covered up the truth for them and deceived the emperor.
Those things made many loyal ministers and benevolent people in the court quite dissatisfied, and they exposed evil deeds more than once. It's just that among the gatekeepers of the excerpts, there are people who were bought by the queen, so those excerpts finally sank.
As for the officials who went to the fold, without exception, they all suffered from big and small troubles. Except for a very few more senior officials, most of whom were not allowed to move, most of the other officials were demoted or directly condemned to prison.
When Li Xiaonuan and the others entered the inner city of the capital, it coincided with the scene of one of the officials being raided. Unlike other officials who were raided in the past, there was no such thing as a ghost crying wolf and shouting wrongs in the whole family of that official.
The whole family stood neatly on the steps and was searched and detained by those officers and soldiers. During this period, some ignorant children cried, and the women who held the children would coax them softly.
Li Xiaonuan looked very strange. She admired the family's composure and calmness. From the guidance and conversation of those people on the street, Li Xiaonuan learned whether the official was framed by others or by the queen's party.
King Jing's men and horses stopped in front of the man's mansion for a short time, and then walked over as if nothing had happened. Just as the procession was about to end, there was a commotion on the steps. I saw that the whole family, except for a tall and thin middle-aged man, was sitting on the steps, vomiting blood.
In an instant, all those young children and weak girls were killed on the spot. The middle-aged man who was standing watched in shock and grief as his relatives disappeared before his eyes one by one. Suddenly, he shouted sadly: "The demon queen has reappeared, the emperor star is dark, and Qi Song will die." ”
After shouting this, the slender middle-aged man suddenly rushed to the bottom of the steps, hit his head on the door lion, and died on the spot.
In the face of this sudden change, the crowd of onlookers exploded in an instant, and some people had already knelt in front of the official crying, shouting that heaven was unfair and wanted to exterminate Qi Song or something. Many people also knelt down together, all crying out for the official.
All this happened to be seen by Li Xiaonuan, who was passing by the official's door. Until the carriage turned the corner, Li Xiaonuan was still in shock. It's so terrible that I didn't even let go of a young son. It's so cruel that he even let the person concerned watch his relatives die one by one.
Li Xiaonuan suddenly felt cold in his limbs, as if he had seen the fate of King Jing's defeat in the struggle. At that point, they will have nothing to do. is still delusional about going overseas to dominate a continent, but I am afraid that I will not be able to step out of the land of Qi and Song alive when the time comes.
No, no matter what, even if she wants to develop overseas, she has to dig up the cancer of the queen family. She can't sit still, she has to fight against King Jing and them.
No, they still have an alliance, that is the brother of the Zhao family. The elder brother of the Zhao family said that he was going to take revenge. They also have many more allies, such as those of the framed officials and their relatives.
In this way, in fact, the queen's family is dying on their own. It's just that the queen's power has grown a lot in recent years, and she has even begun to reach out to the side of court politics. King Jing wants to deal with her justifiably and bring her down, but it is actually very difficult. Not to mention, the emperor is quite protective of the empress. (To be continued.) )
