Meng Qi began to eat by himself, and said, "It depends on how much you think of this granddaughter." ”

"Your Majesty, what do you mean by this? In this generation of my Wei family, there is only such a child, of course, I regard it as the root of my life, and I value it more than my life. Wei Ying said in a deep voice.

Meng Qi smiled: "That's easy, I'll give you a choice." ”

"I can pardon Wei He, but your Wei family has to make an exchange."

"On what terms?"

"One, hand over 500,000 taels of silver to fill the treasury, second, the military power of the Celestial Shadow Army under the Wei family will be returned to the central government, and third, the entire Wei family will be relocated to Nanqi County, and no one in the Wei family will be allowed to set foot in Wuling County without my order."

"On these three requests, I agreed, and I will let Wei He go back." Meng Qi said while eating.

Hearing Meng Qi's three conditions, all of them had strange faces.

Wei Ying frowned and said: "Your Majesty, I can pay the silver, but this Heavenly Shadow Army has always been the guardian army of our Wei family since the founding of the first emperor, and it is also the glory of our Wei family. ”

Meng Qi said coldly: "Your Wei family's guardian army? Soon the country will be gone, you still have to guard your home, there are no eggs under the nest, this day the shadow army should be used to defend the country! ”

Wei Ying's face changed slightly, and he finally made a decision: "Your Majesty, I can hand over the silver and military power, but I can't agree to the third condition." ”

"Why?"

"Our Wei family has been standing in Wuling County for generations, and the family property and ancestral graves are in this Wuling County, and now it is really inconvenient to move the family, and I am sorry for the glory of our ancestors." Wei Ying sighed heavily.

Meng Qi sneered in his heart, this Wei family covers the sky with one hand in Wuling County, calling for wind and rain, even if the money and military power are confiscated now, it will not be long before they will be resurrected with full blood, Meng Qi let them stay away from Wuling County is to let the Wei family unload their armor and return to the field, live in a corner, and weaken the influence of the Wei family as much as possible, and it is best to eliminate it to an ordinary family.

Although Meng Qi knew that the Wei family had no intention of rebellion, the head of the family, Wei Ying, would not live long, and it was difficult to guarantee that future generations would not do anything harmful to the imperial family, so Meng Qi had to take precautions and eliminate all the existences that threatened the imperial power.

The Cheng family is the first step, and the Wei family is the second step.

Wei Ying was obviously angry, his wheezing became heavy, he stood up, looked at Meng Qi condescendingly and said: "Your Majesty, how can you say that the old minister is also a veteran of the three dynasties, and he has done his best for the imperial court, so you can't give the old minister a thin face?" Besides, more than a dozen officials and senior officials here jointly signed a letter requesting the release of my granddaughter Wei He, so you can't give them a face? ”

Meng Qi put down his chopsticks and put away his smile, this Wei Ying is really relying on the old and selling the old, which will directly oppress Meng Qi with his influence in the officialdom, and let these officials jointly write a letter just to protect a little woman who has committed a felony, which is really insulting to the general body of the official and the majesty of the country.

At this time, Meng Qi suddenly felt that these officials were a little sad.

He turned his head to look at the more than ten officials, and said coldly: "I give them face, do they dare to ask for it?" ”

Before the words fell, the evil qi went first, and all the people present suddenly felt a cool air coming up from the surroundings.

On the spot, two officials left their seats, knelt directly on the ground, and said in fear: "The subordinates don't dare!" ”

The rest of the officials didn't dare to meet Meng Qi's eyes, and lowered their heads one after another.

Wei Ying saw that all the helpers he had found were not the enemies of the young emperor, so he couldn't help but tremble with his hands, and the next moment he sat back on the bench directly, and said in despair: "According to what Your Majesty said, can the matter of relocating the clan allow the Wei family more time, and the old minister must deal with the matter of the ancestral grave of the family." ”

Meng Qi nodded and said, "I'll give you half a month, and if you overtime, you will bear the consequences." ”

"Yes." Wei Ying lowered his head.

Meng Qi picked up the chopsticks to eat again, Wei Ying stood up, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty use it slowly, and the old minister will retire first." ”

"Well, let's go down." Meng Qi said lightly.

Seeing that Wei Ying was gone, the surrounding officials dared to stay, so they resigned and retired.

Outside the palace, Wei Ying's henchman, Lord Ding, couldn't help but lean to Wei Ying's side and said, "Lord Wei, do you just obey the emperor's wishes?" If it goes on like this, I'm afraid it will be difficult for the Wei family to turn over again. ”

Camp Commander Wei sighed and said, "Old, old." With that, he left by himself, leaving behind everyone with a sigh on their faces.

In the palace, Meng Qi was in a good mood, he didn't expect to send this group of people away with a few words, he didn't know that his current deterrent power had completely surpassed all the previous emperors, and even comparable to the previous emperors who expanded their territory.

"Zolon, Wei Zhong, sit down and eat together." Meng Qi saw that Wei Ying and his party had gone away, so he asked Suo Long next to him and Wei Zhong, the chief eunuch, to eat together.

The two of them did not shirk, they both understood Meng Qi's temperament, and they were not informal, besides, it was harmless for the two of them to eat some of the food on such a large table.

While eating, Zoro couldn't help but speak: "Your Majesty, if you arrange it like this, will the Wei family be dissatisfied and take the opportunity to start a rebellion?" ”

Meng Qi shook his head and said with a smile: "Wei He is still in our hands, how dare they act rashly, besides, Wei Ying's old bones can't be tossed, and none of his children and grandchildren can afford to carry the beam, otherwise Wei Ying wouldn't value this Wei He so much." ”

Zoro nodded suddenly.

Wei Zhong said with a smile: "Your Majesty, you have rectified the Wei family this time, plus the Cheng family and the Zhao family before, now there is basically no aristocratic force in Pingtian Country that can fight with the royal family. ”

Meng Qi laughed and said, "Wei Zhong, don't slap me on the back, I can't stand this." ”

Zoro smiled: "Your Majesty, you are modest, I am a martial artist, but I usually read some history books, throughout the ages, I can be such an emperor as Your Majesty, less than a handful of people." ”

"Yes, yes, I believe that Your Majesty will be the first emperor of the ages in the future." Wei Zhong said with a smile.

"Alright, alright." Meng Qi said with a smile, looking at this Wei Zhong's smiling appearance now, he is more and more like Wei Zhongxian's old thief, and Meng Qi gave the eunuch the name Wei Zhong to remind himself that he should use history as a mirror and not be controlled by eunuchs.

According to Xiangguo Liu Neng, among the subordinates, this Wei Zhong is the most loyal and can be regarded as a confidant.

"By the way, Wei Zhong, when the meeting comes, you go to Wei's house and let that Wei Ying come to see me tomorrow morning, I have some things to explain to him, there are many people just now, it is inconvenient to say." Meng Qi remembered something and said to Wei Zhong.

Wei Zhong took the order.

After eating and drinking, Meng Qi was bored in the palace, so he thought of going to Qin Zhi's house.

'Big beauty, I'm coming. ’
