Chapter 49: The Quartet Boss
Imperial capital
The sky was dotted with stars, the cold moon hung high in the sky, and the deep dark clouds shrouded the entire imperial capital in a haze.
Ordinary people naturally didn't know what was happening, but they were still keenly aware of a hint of something unusual.
I'm afraid the imperial capital is about to change.
And those real eunuch families know that the emperor is really going to change the sky,
Because His Majesty was assassinated, although it is rumored that there is no danger to his life, the chance of waking up is also very slim.
Therefore, everyone understands that this throne will inevitably be replaced in the future.
At this stormy juncture, everyone has taken a wait-and-see attitude, and now His Majesty is finished,
Then they will have to stand up again, but how to stand in line will have to be carefully considered.
Once they stand on the right side, then the new emperor ascends the throne and one person ascends to heaven, and they will also get great benefits.
And once they make a mistake, then they will all end up in the destruction of their families.
Even if it has been stinking for 10,000 years, it may be infamous for treason.
Therefore, everyone is waiting and watching, especially the attitude of the four major families in the imperial capital is particularly important at this time.
The four major families in the imperial capital are the Lu family, the Xie family, the Ye family and the Wang family.
The four major families have a long history, and 10,000 years ago, the heads of the four major families followed Taizu to conquer the Quartet, and finally established the kingdom of Yu.
It is also the big one of today.
In a sense, the world is now the result of the four major families.
Therefore, the four major families have a high status in Dayu, not only because of the powerhouses of the four realms, but also because of the origin and heritage of the family.
Now at this critical juncture of life and death, the attitude of the four major families determines the future of Da Yu to a certain extent.
Therefore, following them will not be too wrong.
This is the idea and practice of those small families and small forces.
……
The Lu family
"Bastard thing, what nonsense are you talking about, do you want to die"
In the silent study, there was a sharp roar from Lu Guangnian, the head of the Lu family.
"Father, the child is doing this completely for the future of our Lu family," a man with a swollen face retorted.
"You still say, believe it or not, Lao Tzu beat you to death"
When Lu Guangnian heard his son Lu Wenliang's words, he was so angry that he rolled up his sleeves and made a gesture to beat him again.
"Father, you let me finish, after I finish, you just beat me to death and I don't have any complaints"
Lu Guangnian pointed to his son Lu Wenliang's forehead, and said with anger on his face: "Okay, you say, I'll give you this opportunity, I'm here to see what flowers you can say." ”
Lu Guangnian was handling official business just now, and suddenly his son Lu Wenliang ran in and said something rebellious, almost making him half angry.
Without the slightest hesitation, Lu Guangnian directly slapped him.
Now that he heard that Lu Wenliang wanted to defend himself, he really wanted to know what made him say that kind of thing.
"Father, you must know what happened in the palace last night.
You and I both know what your majesty is doing now, and he can't sit in that position at all now.
The first emperor only had one heir to His Majesty, and now that His Majesty has an accident, the only one who can succeed to the throne is that person, and we will now take refuge in that person and wait for him to ascend the throne.
Then we're the heroes."
"That's why you're here"
"Who said that the emperor only had one heir, isn't there another one" Lu Guangnian looked at his son and sneered: "I don't care, what promise did that person give you, let you convince me and let me support him."
I can act as if nothing happened just now, but you'd better put away all your thoughts, or you should know the consequences. ”
In the end, the threat in Lu Guangnian's words was self-evident.
"Father, I..."
"That's enough, you get me out at once."
"Yes,"
After Lu Wenliang saluted, he turned around and left the door, and a trace of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes when he looked at Lu Guangnian in the room at the moment he closed the door.
There is even a hint of murderous intent.
But he soon covered it up.
……
Xie family
"Her Royal Highness the princess fainted," Xie Ming, the head of the Xie family, asked, looking at his confidant Wang Zheng.
"That's right, after Her Royal Highness the Princess saw Her Majesty in Guangming Palace today, she fainted because she couldn't accept it for a while."
"I'm sure I really fainted, didn't I pretend it?"
"I've made sure many times that Her Royal Highness the princess really fainted."
"Hmph, Your Majesty loves that princess very much, and I'm usually afraid of bumping her,
Could it be that His Majesty was really seriously injured and fell into a coma this time. Xie Ming frowned and said to himself.
"But if nothing happens to Your Majesty, then we will not dig our own grave by doing so.
I'm the sinner of the Xie family."
For a while, Xie Ming was a little hesitant and didn't know how to choose.
"Head of the family, in fact, this matter is not that complicated"
"Why" Xie Ming was puzzled
"The head of the family, whether or not His Majesty really has an accident, it doesn't matter to us,
Now the news from the palace is that Your Majesty has an accident, even if Your Majesty is pretending, but Your Majesty has not come forward to deny it.
So we can completely assume that His Majesty has really had an accident and support that person,"
"The royal heirs are thin, and now there are only two people who are eligible for inheritance.
One is that person, and the other is the princess Yunran,
Although there is no precedent in history for women to be in power, we have never had such a thing.
And Princess Yunran has already married, let her inherit the throne, so it is difficult to say whether this big country will be surnamed Li or Shen Ke in the future. ”
"So we can safely and boldly support that person, even if it is confirmed in the future that His Majesty is pretending to be unconscious, we can completely use it to prevaricate in order to maintain the orthodoxy of the royal family.
Even Your Majesty can't do anything to us,
And once something really happens to Your Majesty, then that person will be on the throne, and we will be the heroes.
It's not impossible to surpass the other three major families at that time."
Wang Zheng's words made Xie Ming's blood boil, if there was anything that could move him the most, it must be the prestige of the family.
Although King Lu Xie Ye is known as the four major families of the imperial capital, the competition between the four major families is uninterrupted.
Among the four major families, the Lu family ranks first, and the ancestors in the family are rumored to be the cultivation of the early stage of the Four Realms, and the martial artists of the Three Realms are no less than five fingers on the bright side.
The children of the family held many important official positions in the court.
So ranked first,
However, to a certain extent, there is some water in the first place of the Lu family.
It can even be said that the Ye family, which is in second place, gave it to the Lu family.
Because the ancestor of the Ye family was rumored to have reached the late stage of the terrifying Four Realms, completely crushing the other three.
And Ye Wuya is a military general, holding military power, and his status in the DPRK is also very noble.
Therefore, the Ye family ranked first, and the other three families did not dare to say a 'no' word at all.
However, the Ye family has a fatal drawback, that is, it has been passed down from ancient times and has few people.
In the entire Ye family, except for that ancestor, there was only one Three Realms martial artist in the Ye Wuya.
In addition, Ye Wuya didn't care about those false names, so the first position fell to the Lu family.
Of course, if the Ye family intends to compete for this first place, the Lu family will not dare to occupy it.
Therefore, the first of the Lu family has water.
The third place is the Xie family, the ancestor is also in the early stage of the Four Realms, and there are several martial artists in the Three Realms.
The overall strength is actually about the same as that of the Lu family.
But maybe it's providence, the children of the Xie family don't have the life to be officials.
Compared with the Lu family, the prestige of the Xie family in the court is naturally inferior to the Lu family, and the force value is not as good as the Ye family.
So ranked third.
As for the fourth-ranked Wang family, the ancestor is also in the early stage of the Four Realms,
None of the children of the Wang family held official positions in the court, and it was a purely business family.
So even if the Wang family is ranked last, it is rich and rivals the country. Therefore, the strength should not be underestimated.
Although Ye Wuya doesn't pay attention to the false name of ranking, it doesn't mean that others don't pay attention to it either.
And this Xie Ming is one of them, he has always dreamed of making the Xie family the first of the four major families.
Even above the other three.
So in the face of this opportunity, he was moved.
Except for the Ye family, the strength of the other three families is comparable, and the strength of the ancestors of the four realms is not much different.
The reason why the Lu family ranks first is that it has played a great role in the power of the court.
And once that person takes the position, this gap can be easily bridged, then the first place of the Lu family will not be able to be saved.
As for the Wang family, Xie Ming didn't pay attention to it at all, since ancient times, merchants have not fought with officials, can the Wang family still ride on their Xie family.
The only trouble is the Ye family, the strength of the late stage of the Four Realms is not a joke, but the ancestors of the Four Realms are generally hidden, and except for that ancestor, the Ye family has no deterrence at all.
So as long as that ancestor doesn't come out, the Ye family has nothing to fear.
Thinking about it like this, Xie Ming was very excited, this was completely a deal that only made money and did not lose money.
Those who don't do it are fools.
"You're right, you send someone at once... No... Go yourself and show him our sincerity,
At the same time, tell him that I want to get something in return," Xie Ming instructed Wang Zheng.
"The subordinates will not bear the trust of the head of the family"
Wang Zheng fell to the ground on one knee, expressing his loyalty to Xie Ming with a firm face.
"Go ahead," Xie Ming waved his hand.
"Yes"
Looking at Wang Zheng who was going out, a glimmer of light flashed in Xie Ming's eyes, and he sneered.
It's as if you already know everything.
……
At the same time, the royal family's secret room,
The five Three Realms martial artists of the Wang family gathered together to discuss this matter,
However, in the end, the head of the Wang family, Wang Ding, thought that the Wang family was a merchant family, just to make money, and not to interfere in the affairs of the court.
made a decision not to help each other,
The other four thought for a moment, and also agreed with Wang Ding's approach.
Let them fight to the death, no matter who becomes the emperor, as long as it does not prevent them from making money.
……
Ye family
In the midst of this turmoil, it was as calm as ever, as if nothing had happened at all.
Ye Wuya didn't tell the rest of the Ye family about his plans and plans, although everyone was curious, but Ye Wuya didn't say anything, and they wouldn't ask more.
All they have to do is unconditionally support Ye Wuya's decision.
……
An earth-shattering plan also slowly kicked off at this moment,
What no one knows is that the final outcome of this matter is already predestined.
