Chapter 313: Treason
The sun is beginning in the east again, and this is a new beginning of the day, and it looks like the past, but life has opened a new page.
Everything is moving forward, and it is hard to say that it will definitely be progress, but it will definitely be different from the past.
If your life comes to a sudden halt at some point, then you should pay attention to it, because there are things that suddenly come to a halt and can disrupt your original life and become a mess.

Suzaku Street Palace.
Wang Ren's mansion was very deserted at this time, and Mowen slaughtered more than 100 lives in the mansion a few days ago, which made the empty mansion feel depressed.
With Wang Ren's financial resources and the treatment given, there should be an endless stream of people who want to apply for employment, but if it is bad, it will be bad, Wang Ren's mansion is among the people who seem to have opened the eyes of heaven again, and there are hundreds of unjust souls entrenched above.
The people are superstitious, and sometimes they don't go to the doctor when they are sick. Not to mention it, it makes people shudder when they mention it.
The winter solstice is approaching, and the autumn leaves left on the branches of the trees are beginning to fall weakly, covering the entire front yard.
Once, there were subordinates who stayed and survived the disaster who wanted to clean, but Wang Ren asked them to stop, and the subordinates were very weird, because this was very different from Wang Ren in their memory, even two people.
Wang Ren, who used to like to read books in the study, spends more time in the front yard at the moment, not doing anything, just looking up at the dry branches, and has been silent.
"Dad, there is news from Jiangnan, saying that a group of people of unknown origin sneaked in, according to the investigation, it is estimated that they were sent by the Supervision Yuan and Tang Ning." At this time, Wang Ren's eldest son, Wang Mingyi, didn't know when he came to Wang Ren's side and said.
"What has happened to the imperial court recently?" Because he was ordered by the King of Jin not to leave the palace, Wang Ren didn't know anything about the court at all, and he could only know about it every day after his son went to the court.
"The DPRK and China are still like that, nothing has changed... It's just..."Wang Mingyi paused, a gray aura appeared on his face, and then continued: "It's just that I used to have close contact with the child, and I have been hiding in the child recently. ”
"Of course, now that our Wang family is in the stage of falling out of favor, it is understandable that they are far away from you. So Lu Hanjun, what about the three? How did they treat you? ”
"The three families of Lu Hanjun are the same as usual, there is no change at all, and the day before yesterday chatted a few words. But it's all polite words, and then I don't know. ”
"Three old foxes." Wang Ren said with emotion: "After all, we can see farther than those young people, as long as Jiangnan is in the hands of our Wang family one day, then no matter who we are, we will not be able to move." ”
"Yes." After hearing Wang Ren finally say something similar to expressing determination, Wang Mingyi's restless heart also began to calm down.
"Mingyi, do you hate to be your father?" Wang Ren suddenly opened his mouth and asked something that had nothing to do with just now.
"I don't hate." Wang Mingyi did not hesitate, and said very calmly: "Dad, everything you do is for the Wang family, the child knows your hard work, and the child does not hate you." ”
A smile appeared in Wang Ren's eyes, and he patted Wang Mingyi, who was a head taller than him, with his hand, and he was smiling constantly at the moment.
"The only thing I'm proud of in my life is that I single-handedly founded this family and put down roots in Kyoto.
Mingyi, you know how bitter we were when we were children, and it is precisely because of that experience that I will continue to be greedy for power and money, because I believe that if we are greedy to the point of co-existing with the entire Nanqing, then our Wang family will not collapse.
And that's exactly what I did before. And it was done. But now, a new question has arisen before us, and the Father wants to hear your thoughts at this moment. Wang Ren turned around and asked Wang Mingyi, and Wang Mingyi immediately became serious.
"Our royal family... How long can it last? Wang Ren said this, and Wang Ren wanted to speak according to what Wang Ren had said before, but after seeing the deep uneasiness in his father's eyes, he hesitated.
"As long as there is a father, our Wang family will not perish." Wang Mingyi gave a two-pronged answer.
After Wang Ren heard this, he smiled, but this time he laughed a little helplessly and powerlessly.
"Your Majesty and the King of Jin, or whoever ascends the throne after that, the first one to open their knife is our royal family.
We can bear it once, but after a few times and three times, it will only weaken our strength, and finally become a fish in other people's mouths.
The salt pans in the south of the Yangtze River are a big bargaining chip. But it won't be our backer forever... Now the situation has not reached the point where the fish are dead and the net is broken, and we are still in Kyoto. It's still on the land of Nanqing, so I don't want us to go back to the point of desperation.
But in the same way, I will use my best ability to preserve the Wang family. ”
"Mingyi, if I ask you a question, you have to tell me the answer." Wang Ren looked at his son solemnly and with a sense of oppression.
Wang Mingyi suddenly felt an indescribable pressure, and his father's appearance at the moment made him think that the entire Wang family was really destroyed.
"If, not long after, the entire Nanqing decides to eradicate my Wang family... At that time, would you like to accompany your father and go to a place to start over? ”
Wang Mingyi seemed to feel something, and his body began to tremble: "Dad... Where are we going? ”
"Northern Jin Dynasty!" Wang Renyin said fiercely: "Since Nanqing wants to bear me, then why should I continue to be loyal to it? It was it who was sorry for me first, why should I give everything for it. ”
"Betrayal... Treason? The sweat on Wang Mingyi's forehead kept falling, and what his father said was already very clear. But it is precisely because he understands that Wang Mingyi has become like this.
What's more, with his father's personality, when he left Nanqing, he would never return the mines in Jiangnan and Northwest to Nanqing.
At that time, the wealth of taxes and the treasury comparable to the entire five-year tax collection of Nanqing all flowed to the powerful Northern Jin Dynasty, so did Nanqing still have a way to live?
No, the answer is yes and it is not allowed to refuse, because outsiders don't understand what their family, which is rooted in Nanqing, has accumulated over the past ten years.
However, if you want to leave this place where you grew up, can Wang Mingyi be willing to do it? Can his father really give up everything and throw himself into the Northern Jin Dynasty, Nanqing's sworn enemy? All this is unknown, but what is certain is that the road of treason has already begun to be on the way.
