Chapter 40: Calculating the King's Family (3)

It didn't take long for Wang Rende, who got the news, to take his eldest son to the county government in a hurry, and as soon as he entered, he saw that his son was tied hand and foot and thrown on the ground. Although it looked a little blue and swollen, I didn't see any blood and thought that the injury was not serious, but I was just wronged.

"Wang Rende, the county lieutenant of Chenxincheng County, see His Royal Highness, the county lord, the minister's godson has offended His Highness, please forgive Your Highness!" Seeing the top boss sitting upright in the lobby, and the frosty face of the crown prince Sima Shu, Wang Rende did not dare to slack off, and immediately knelt down to greet him.

"Humph! Lord Wang said it lightly, do you want to exonerate your son lightly if you have no way to teach your son? Do you know what your son is guilty of? Jia Mao asked with some hatred, if you want to see that the prince is about to take power, even he has to retreat, what do you mean by your Wang family's trouble.

"The minister doesn't know, it's just a quarrel of words, the courtier's usual behavior is a little perverse, and His Royal Highness may accidentally collide, I hope His Royal Highness has a lot, and he will teach a lesson." Wang Rende is smart, knows how to avoid reality and fiction, and turns big things into small things and small things.

It's a pity that Sima Shu is planning the wealth of the entire Wang family, as well as tens of thousands of tenant farmers and hundreds of acres of land in their hands, how can they let the other party be so confused.

"County Lieutenant Wang, right? Bengong won't give you nonsense anymore, you have provoked Bengong repeatedly before, and Lone didn't bother with you. But this time, the second boy of your family dared to assassinate the palace, and he couldn't say anything good, if he didn't severely punish the people with bad intentions in the world, he would not have to follow your royal family. As soon as Sima Shu opened his mouth, he set the case as a major case of murdering the prince, that is, he wanted to shoot the Wang family to death with a stick.

Wang Rende listened to the prince's words, sweating like pulp, and instantly wet the whole clothes, the prince is going to put the Wang family to death! Although he had expected this day, he never expected it to come so early. According to Wang Rende's thoughts, no matter how strong the prince is, he is just one person, but behind him stands all the great families of the Jin Dynasty.

In the face of such a huge force, let alone the crown prince, I am afraid that Emperor Wu will have to bow his head and surrender when he is resurrected. Who knew that the prince not only did not bow his head, but became more and more tough, and handed over a chapter to the capital twice in three days, demanding the implementation of a new policy in the new city. Coupled with the queen's ill-intentioned support, the prince has been hiding in the imperial village and is safe and sound.

According to the original plan of the Wang family, as long as he survived for a few more days, Wang Rende would transfer Jiangdong south to serve as the county commander, and when he arrived in the south, he would move the family over. At that time, even if the prince makes a fuss in the new city, he can't do anything to his Wang family.

As for what will happen after the crown prince ascends the throne in the future, Wang Rende really didn't think that far. In his opinion, there are so many families who oppose it, not to mention whether the prince can keep his surname after ascending the throne.

But what Wang Rende didn't expect was that at this critical moment, the prince suddenly made a move against the Wang family, which caught him off guard. After a fierce ideological struggle, Wang Rende suddenly calmed down. He looked at the heroic and cold Sima Shu and said in a deep voice: "I don't know what the Wang family will do, so His Royal Highness can let go of the Wang family." ”

"Father...... You, we don't have to be afraid of him, now we will sue the capital and see if the prince can cover the sky with one hand! ”

Seeing that his father was going to give up, the Wang family was anxious, and with the support of the family, he was a little fearless, especially after seeing the strength of the family, the Wang family wanted to promote the Wang family to become a family like the Taiyuan Wang family.

"Shut up! Is there a place for you to interject here? The dog is not in shape, please forgive your Highness! ”

After all, Wang Rende has eaten for a few more years, and at the same time, he has been crawling in the yamen for many years, and he sees the problem much more deeply than his son. Regarding his eldest son's words, Wang Rende was more scornful.

Go to the capital to file a complaint? Cut, you have to have a life! Looking at the appearance of the prince, if the Wang family responds a little poorly today, I am afraid it will be a disaster.

Seeing that Wang Rende was a little self-aware, Sima Shu didn't have time to talk about these little nonsense, he knew that behind the Wang family was a big family, if it wasn't for the Wang family hindering the implementation of the new policy, Sima Shu wouldn't have to kill them all.

Sima Shu doesn't blindly treat the family blindly and has to shout and kill, the key is that the family must be improved according to his wishes, otherwise don't blame him for being ruthless.

"Well, since Lord Wang is so refreshing, this palace will not give you a grind, so that your Wang family will hand over all the land, tenants, and money as compensation for the loss to this palace, and Lone will no longer pursue your crimes."

Sima Shu finally said his request, but this request is indeed no different from copying the Wang family, the only difference is that the Wang family left a surname, which can be regarded as breaking the fortune and eliminating the disaster.

"Your Royal Highness, this, this ......" Wang Rende listened to the prince's request and became more calm, he was afraid that the prince did not ask for it, so he had to make their royal family angry, as long as the prince asked for something, it means that there is still something to talk about this matter.

"What do you mean? Not satisfied with the conditions of this shrine? If that's the case, then the palace has no choice but to let Lord Jia personally go to your house to get it. Sima Shu said with a frown.

"Your Highness is angry, the minister doesn't mean that, the Wang family has brought so much trouble to His Highness, and it is also appropriate to give some money. But His Royal Highness didn't know that yesterday the official got the news that he was about to be transferred to Jiangdong. This is from the Central Plains to Jiangdong all the way through the mountains and rivers, if you don't have some money with you, I'm afraid the minister won't be able to get to the place! Woooooo Wang Rende cried with a handful of snot and tears.

"Gotta gotcha, don't howl, Bengong understands what you mean, don't you just want Bengong to leave you some travel expenses? Okay, this palace has agreed, you can leave some of the money for you, and in addition, those guards, maids, and slaves who are willing to go with you will be taken away. That's okay, right? ”

Sima Shu's purpose is the Wang family's land and tenants, as for the Wang family's surname, he really has no interest, the Wang family is a pawn, killing them will not make the family lose a cent, but make some local wealthy families dissatisfied with themselves.

Since Wang Rende is so knowledgeable, Sima Shu is not a stingy person, he asked Du Xi to leave enough money for the Wang family, and then accepted the entire Wang family's property in a grand manner.

Here, Sima Shu was busy asking his subordinates to hand over materials to the Wang family, and Li Fang, the head of the Li family in the city over there, couldn't sit still. He summoned his confidants to the secret room to discuss what was happening in the county.

"This time, thanks to the wisdom of the head of the family, he did not accept the conditions of the family, otherwise the Wang family would not be the only one who was unlucky this time." A wise man with a mustache shook his head and praised Li Fang, but unfortunately Li Fang was not in the mood to listen to such nonsense at all, he was now desperate to know where the Li family should go.

It turned out that those families not only found the Wang family, but also the Li family was also attracted by the other party, but Li Fangsheng was cautious and unwilling to act as a pawn of the family. Originally, there were still some doubts within the Li family about this, and they felt that Li Fang was timid and afraid, but after seeing the ruthlessness of the prince cleaning up the Wang family today, these wall grasses immediately turned their heads and began to flatter Li Fang.

But he didn't know that Li Fang was worried about the fate of the Li family in the future when he saw the prince's determination to implement the new policy. Li Fang believed that with the fall of the Wang family, the resistance of the crown prince to implement the new policy in Xincheng no longer existed. Without the hind legs of the Wang family involving the crown prince, and in the middle of the court, Empress Jia is actively courting Sima Lun, the king of Zhao, and the possibility of the family preventing the implementation of the new policy is getting smaller and smaller.

"You know what! Once the imperial court decrees, the crown prince will become the master of the new city, and at that time the Li family will be fish and meat on the chopping board, to be cut. Although we didn't make trouble with the prince before, but the prince's new policy is obviously aimed at the world's families, how can he tolerate a family like the Li family? Li Fang said with some annoyance.

"Master, why don't we also learn from the Wang family?" A dealer suggested.

"It's late, let's not talk about the reaction of the family, just His Royal Highness the Crown Prince won't let us go." Li Fang said dejectedly.

"I think let's make peace with the prince, at the moment the prince just wants to implement the new policy in the new city, since we can't resist, it's better to support the prince instead, in case the prince succeeds in the future, then the Li family can also turn over."

Listening to the discussion of his henchmen, Li Fang was even more irritable, he knew very well that if he made peace with the prince at this time, the fate of the Li family would not be much better than that of the Wang family, even if he could keep most of the money, those grange lands would be recovered by the prince. Without a field, his Li family is just a rich man.

The land is the most important thing for the Chinese people, the ancients had money to do the first thing is to buy the field, if a person can leave enough land for his children and grandchildren during his lifetime and pass it on, then he will be very proud to see the ancestors and ancestors.

"Master, take the liberty of asking, is the prince's so-called new policy good for the court and the people?" An enshriner saw that Li Fang was a little embarrassed, and he was ready to inspire him from the other side, to be honest, as a son of a poor family, he hoped that the prince could succeed.

"Of course there is, but some things are not just good things that can be successful, and the crown prince's implementation of such a new policy is tantamount to offending the whole world's family. You don't know how powerful the family is, right? Emperor Wu of Wei was such a powerful figure back then, not only did he fail to solve the problems of the family, but brought disaster to his children and grandchildren. ”

"But if you think about it carefully, the prince is of noble birth, and it is impossible for him not to know the power of the family. But what does it mean that he still insists on implementing the New Deal? It shows that either the prince himself is crazy, or he has long been confident. Don't forget, sir, the fact that the prince was able to get out of the whirlpool in Luoyang shows that he is not an ordinary person. As the saying goes, it's easy to put the icing on the cake, but it's hard to send charcoal in the snow. If the Li family stands on the side of the prince at this time, once the prince succeeds in the future, then the Li family has this merit from the dragon, at least they have to be crowned a prince! ”

At this time, Li Fang was silent, and he had to admit that the words of the offering were very reasonable, but Li Fang, who was cautious in his surname, said that he wanted to think about it. In this way, Sima Shu tossed in the Wang family for three days, Li Fang thought about it at home for three days, and finally when the prince was about to return to the imperial village, Li Fang made up his mind.
