Thirty-second The story of the toast

"A young man of a family killed his eldest son and his brother, forcing his father to relinquish the position of head of the family and thus take control of the entire family. Although he bears the notoriety of killing his brother and killing his brother. But in the end, the family was kept in order. The family's power also began to expand slowly. ”

Slowly, this young gentleman began to grow older and older. His sons also grew up, so he still began to raise his eldest son, and he was very satisfied with him, and slowly let his eldest son gradually take over the affairs of the family. ”

"With the guidance and support of the elders in the family, this eldest son learns quickly and does well. If nothing happens, when his father is old, he will take over the family. ”

The toast spoke very slowly, and his demeanor was very peaceful. He moistened his throat and continued down.

But the other son of the family who killed his brother was unwilling. He also wants to be the head of the family. With the help of his uncle, he began to stir up feelings between his father and eldest brother, and at the same time created some contradictions between his brothers that were unfavorable to his eldest brother. As the contradictions accumulated day by day, he finally reached the critical point he thought of. He decided to get his hands dirty! ”

The eldest son's relationship with his father slowly faded, and at the same time, he saw his brother clearly, and set up many vicious schemes for himself in order to compete with him for the head of the family, and his heart also underwent earth-shaking changes. He decided to follow his father's example, but instead of killing his younger brothers, he put several of his younger brothers under house arrest. ”

But on the day he was about to do it, the news was already known to his younger brother. Only then did I realize that my side had already been planted with eyeliner. Not only that, but his younger brother also ran to his father's side and framed himself for killing his father and taking the throne! ”

Now the eldest son panicked, he didn't plan to do so. And my father didn't listen to his own arguments. In the wrath of his father, he was stripped of his status as heir and driven out of the family. But after all, blood was thicker than water, and his father placed him in a branch far from the heart of the family. ”

The complaining son was overjoyed to be the heir, and he did a good job of concealing it while his father was still alive. Let his father feel that he didn't choose the wrong person this time. But in his father's later years, an incident occurred that caused his father's previous evaluation of him to be completely overturned. That is: he was in a relationship with a young concubine that his father had taken in his twilight years. But at this time, it was impossible for the twilight scholar to think about pulling his son down from the position of the quasi-head of the family. Because two-thirds of the family members supported the son. ”

But the old scholar still left behind, and when he was dying, he passed down the order of the head of the family to let his eldest son come back to take over the family. And he took the jade pendant he was wearing as a token and sent it out along with the letter. ”

At this, the toast let out a long sigh, as if to laugh at the old man's stupidity and stupidity.

When Li Fu and the three of them heard this, they were all shocked in their hearts, and this plot was somewhat familiar...........

No, it's not just familiar. Wasn't that old scholar the Taizong of the past!

Thinking of this, the three of them turned pale, and as toasters, they also needed to tell stories in a concealed way. This matter is by no means as recorded in the history books, and it must be greatly implicated!

"That's... And then? Li Fu asked.

"Later, ......" Toast closed his eyelids slightly, and was silent for a long time before he continued.

Later, the decree of the head of the family did not reach the eldest son. The old man sent two of his closest servants to deliver the message, one of whom was killed and the other missing. All this is exactly what the later head of the family did. And the old scholar did not die, but was killed by him. ”

Hearing this, the faces of Li Fu and the others could no longer be described as shocked. If the old scholar is really the Taizong of the year, then Emperor Gaozu ..... not only killed his brother and killed his brother, but also had to bear the infamy of killing his father and plotting rebellion!

"Of course, it's not over yet. The dead old man didn't know what kind of changes his family would bring to his family by killing his brother back then. Not only his sons, but also his grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and his descendants. Every change of power in the family is often accompanied by bloody killings......"

"What about the eldest son of the old man?" Yang Zixu thought for a moment and asked. If the old scholar is Taizong, then the eldest son will be the abolished prince. But the abolished prince obviously died before Taizong and was buried in Shanglingyuan.

The eldest son was later killed by his younger brother. Jean also falsified everything about him on the family tree, including his death. The genealogy reads: The eldest son rebelled, committed suicide in fear of sin, was spurned by the people of the clan, and buried between the bones and the barren grass. ”

Toast shook his head, then sneered, "I don't know how many years later, that one's behavior is even more despicable." ”

"What's wrong with him?"

Yang Zixu changed his comfortable posture, as if the toast was not a secret of the royal family at all, but a very exciting story. He was very excited, his eyes were shining brightly, and he was completely drawn into the story, and he almost put a plate of melon seeds in front of him.

Toast looked at Yang Zixu's actions, his brows furrowed slightly, but he didn't say anything. just asked Lord Taibao to take down the small cup of wine that was taboo in the confession, and then slowly opened the wine brought by Li Fu.

As the sealing mud on the mouth of the altar was uncovered, a burst of rice fragrance spread in the temple. Toasters poured out a small bowl of wine and brought it to the front. The three teenagers didn't understand the toast's behavior, could it be that the toast adults wanted to drink in this temple? But this is the Taimiao, the place where the royal family is enshrined, and doing such a thing violates the "Tang Rites"

Instead of drinking the bowl of wine, Toast turned his back to the four men and sprinkled the wine on top of the confession. The candle flame in the temple seemed to have a spirit, and the candle flame in the temple shook as the toast slowly spilled the wine. The direction of the flames turned out to be all facing the rows of spiritual positions in the center of the temple!

Toast turned to look at the three people on the futon, the dim candlelight in the hall shining on his face, and the wrinkles were as deep as if they were carved into his face. At some point, his bright eyes began to be full of cloudiness, like a down-and-out old man.

Later, the head of the family was killed by his wife and took over his family. Ironically, his wife was the same concubine his father had accepted in his twilight years. And the concubine, in order to control that huge family, began to purge the old people in the family who opposed her when she first became the acting head of the family at the beginning. For a time, the entire family was divided into two factions. One faction supported her, while those who opposed her were either killed by her or exiled to the marginal areas of the head of the household. And Shan Fan is either her child, either dead or crazy, and few people can survive the years when she was in charge of the family. “

"However, during this period, something unexpected happened. In the vein that opposed her, some people found that the eldest son of the old family owner still had descendants alive, and he still had the old family master's token and the letter he sent before his death. Toast said this, stopped, after all, he is old, and such a long narration is indeed not an easy thing for the body of the old toast.

"And then?"

After a long time, Yang Zixu couldn't help but ask softly.

"Later......... It was the killing, the bloodbath of the backbone of the family, both for her and against her. She had to clean the traces left by the old master. But no matter how she washed, the seeds were already planted and could no longer be dug up completely. ”

Toast was silent for a moment before speaking.
