Chapter 238: The Chessboard
The first to be affected by the changes in the capital were the two parties involved. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The Wei clan didn't react much. They had already found a way out, and they had already arranged it.
Moreover, their biggest bargaining chip, Wei Lu's mother and son, are back. They had no choice but to devote themselves wholeheartedly to supporting the mother and son.
But the Wang family is different. From the moment they started on this path, they had no intention of looking behind.
Except for the queen's father, brother and uncle, the other side branches are all illegally collecting money under the guise of relationships. Of course, in every family, there are always a few discordant groups. Those people are either too good or too upright.
Now, in the Wang family, except for the queen's two or three aunts and three or five uncles, everyone else has illegally amassed a lot of wealth and land in the name of the queen's relatives.
What's more, they even openly engaged in the act of forcible seizure. In addition to other people's ancestral industries, there are also all kinds of beauties (both men and women).
Those are already crazy enough. But some insiders broke out that there are people in Wang's family who are greedy for young children's fetishes. All the children who were lost in the neighborhood were all in that man's house. Unfortunately, the vast majority of young children have already been abused to death.
As soon as this material was exposed, it immediately exploded the entire Qi Song. It seems that someone has already arranged it, and at the same time, the evil deeds of the Wang clan spread all over the Qi and Song dynasties.
Emperor Taizu specially established such a law back then: anyone who participated in the abduction and trafficking of young children, regardless of their identity and background, must be punished by Ling Chi, exposed to the corpse for seven days, and then filed the bones and ashes; Anyone who plays with young children is castrated, made into an adult, and put into a private kiln, where he is abused to death. In the end, it is still the file and ashes.
It can be seen that Emperor Taizu hated this phenomenon back then. Innocent children, at an age of innocence and ignorance, have suffered those injuries and have no other way out but to die.
Unlike in previous lives, there are well-developed medical institutions that can not only heal the injuries of young children, but also relieve their already dark minds.
This time, the Wang family can be said to have been pushed to the cusp.
Since it was a nationwide outbreak, the emperor had to come forward in person and say that he would investigate the matter thoroughly. If this is true, he will not tolerate the offender.
Although the anger of the people was temporarily suppressed. But they were just waiting, waiting for the emperor to give them a satisfactory answer.
If the emperor is still the same as before, and let the Wang family hand over a few scapegoats at will, and the matter is settled, then the people will definitely shout for a change of emperor.
This is also another measure taken by Emperor Taizu to suppress the emperor's unreasonable dictatorship in order to ensure the rights of the people.
If the people feel that the emperor is incompetent, they can denounce the court for changing the emperor.
As long as the people who want to change the emperor account for one-third of the people of the Qi and Song dynasties, then the imperial court must follow the will of the people and remove the current saint from office.
If the court and the army are in cahoots with the emperor, then the people can rebel!
The current emperor is really afraid of the rebellion of the people who have been instigated. After all, in that crowd, there were quite a few geniuses like Emperor Taizu.
However, the current situation is exactly what the emperor likes, and it is what he needs. He wanted to see how Wang would calm the anger of the people this time.
Back then, when the emperor was still a young man, he occasionally met the current queen's brother on the street. At that time, the emperor, who was still obsessed with heroic legends, felt that it was excellent to make friends with such a family that had just begun to gain a foothold in the army.
The queen's brother can not only satisfy the emperor's understanding and yearning for military life at that time, but also tell him a lot of real battlefield stories.
At that time, the emperor thought that his identity as the crown prince was well hidden. Unexpectedly, he was so stupid that he stepped into the trap of the Wang family step by step.
Until one day, the emperor woke up with the queen's brother again and found that there was a girl on his bed who had been abused to the point of dying.
At that time, the subordinates who came to look for him had already arrived outside the door.
At that moment, if the emperor hadn't realized that he had fallen into the Tao, then he would have been so stupid that he couldn't be helped.
If those subordinates came in and saw the emperor lying naked, and there were blood stains in some places. Coupled with the girl whose signs of life were getting weaker and weaker, then he had a hundred mouths, and he couldn't explain it clearly to the saint at that time.
The children of the royal family, once they are involved in the abuse of young children, the result is that they will be imprisoned for life.
At that critical moment, the current queen appeared. She bit her lip and peeled off all her clothes, covered the girl, and lay down beside the emperor.
In this way, the emperor successfully avoided the mistreatment of young children.
It's just that the saint was still angry at that time. He felt that the emperor was too gullible to others, and he also taught and received private things with women from good families, violating the taboo of amorous affection that the emperor could not touch.
Therefore, the saint at that time immediately decided to set a family affair for the emperor. The object of the marriage, the emperor has seen it a few times. They were all glimpsed from afar with their brothers.
It was a girl named Wei Lu, who looked quite beautiful. The most important thing is that the woman has an extraordinary bearing, and she is transparent and generous in dealing with people. No matter who she faces, she has no stage fright.
At that time, the emperor thought to himself that the woman had the momentum of a mother's honor in the world.
However, the emperor did not forget that woman was the person whom his younger brother King Jing loved.
In order to test whether the woman also had affection for her brother, the emperor also single-handedly planned a drama to let her brother heroically save the beauty.
Fortunately, the woman seemed to prefer the queen's throne, and was indifferent to all the explicit hints of her brother.
In that way, the emperor gladly accepted the marriage of the saint at that time, and married Wei Lu and chose a date to marry.
The Emperor thought that the matter was complete. But three months before the wedding, the Wang family finally couldn't help but make a fuss.
At that time, there were rumors in the market that in a certain year and month, a certain prince was in a certain place and had an affair with a certain lady. However, those were just ridiculous things that the prince had to do in order to cover up another matter.
Originally, the emperor didn't care about the rumors at all. He had contacted Wei Lu several times in private, and he was extremely satisfied. He likes Wei Lu's kind of woman with independent thinking and tenacious personality.
It can be said that the emperor has a love for Wei Lu. He felt that he and Wei Lu were a match made in heaven.
Until one day, after Brother Wang, who had been called a brother and sister to him, handed him a letter, the emperor was passively involved in the calculations of the Wang family.
In order to appease the Wang clansmen, the emperor had to force himself to have a private meeting with the current empress and made her pregnant. He also thought about delaying the marriage for a few months.
But the ambition of the Wang family is so big that they dare to think about the position of the queen. The emperor laughed angrily on the spot.
Because the emperor at that time had not thought comprehensively enough, he gladly accepted the threat of the Wang family.
He thought that that position was too eye-catching, and it was also very good to leave it to Wang Shi to prevent disasters for Wei Lu.
It's just that he didn't expect that the chessboard he laid was so big that it ignored the safety of Wei Lu's mother and son, and finally killed them.
This is the pain of the emperor's life, and he wants to repay all those remorse to the head of the Wang family.
More than 20 years have passed, and the emperor's game of chess has come to the end.
However, how to play this killing chess, he intends to leave it to Wei Lu's mother and son to decide. (To be continued.) )
