Chapter 142 Taiyuan Wang's Clan
The wind and rain are coming, and the wind is full of buildings.
The overcast weather lasted not long, and after a few thunders and a gust of evil wind, the raindrops began to crackle and beat on the roof, splashing small splashes.
Taiyuan County Administration Jinyang.
In the palatial royal hall, more than a dozen powerful people are sitting in danger. Wang Yunju, the contemporary head of the Wang family, lived in the middle, his face gloomy.
Since the defeat of the struggle against the eunuchs and the forced resignation and retreat, although the pace of expansion of the Wang family has slowed down, under the protection of his colleagues in the court and the general He Jin, not only did he not suffer any losses, but also gained.
Gathered here today are the core members of the Wang family, as well as the heads or descendants of the small families attached to the Wang family.
The reason why some of them were not the head of the family participated was because the head of the family had been killed by Ye Teng, and only a few members of the family were left, who ran to the Wang family to cry.
Bingzhou belongs to the sphere of influence of the Taiyuan Wang clan, which is the consensus of the entire top Han family, and it is also an unspoken rule formed over hundreds of years, and even Bingzhou Mu Ding Yuan has to compromise.
But just a strange person, lucky to get the position of Taishou, dare to despise the Taiyuan Wang family so much? This is a challenge to the majesty of the entire Han civil officials and the Saga Group!
What is it that makes him confident to the point of flipping the table directly?
Just with the support of the eunuchs?
Didn't you see that the Ten Standing Servants were deeply favored by His Majesty, and they were unable to meddle in local forces?
The general He Jin also shrank back, not only did he not dare to interfere in the local military and politics, but also constantly co-opted the civilian official group and tried to integrate into it.
But he was just a stranger who was too guarded, and he dared to directly put Yanmen County under martial law! also raided the family and exterminated the clan!
Even if Ye Teng's five horses were divided into corpses and Ling Chi was executed in the future, the loss of the Wang family this time could not be made up.
Listening to the cries of several small family members present, Wang Yun pinched the handrail with his left hand, the green tendons were exposed, and the joints were white.
"Master Wang, you have to think of a way, hurry up and stop him, he is now martial law in the entire Yanmen County, this is to burn and rob our family behind closed doors. If we don't do anything, we'll have nothing! The head of a small family pleaded bitterly, and his expression was sad, like a mourning woman.
The power of the Wang family not only monopolized the annexation of the state, but also radiated to other states and counties, even if Yanmen County was wiped out this time, it would only be a partial loss for the entire Wang family.
But for those small families who are attached to the Wang family and only run Yanmen County, or even one county under the rule of Yanmen County, it is a catastrophe.
In the past few days, there have been more than ten or eight small families who have come to the Wang family to cry, in terms of interests, the Wang family has the need to take action, but Ye Teng overturned the Wang family's sphere of influence; Morally speaking, the Wang family does have the obligation to take action, after all, those small families have paid a lot of "protection fees" to the Wang family every year.
"Master, this matter has to wait a little longer. Now Ye Teng is the justifiable Yanmen County Taishou appointed by the imperial court, and in the name of corruption and lawlessness, he is cleaning up the officialdom and family of Yanmen County, no matter what, he stands on the commanding heights of law. It was also supported by the eunuchs and recognized by the emperor.
In order to achieve obvious results in the short term, we really have no other way than to directly attack the army. But there is no imperial edict, and if you raise an army to attack Yanmen County, you will be slandered as a rebellion by the eunuchs. At that time, it was not Ye Teng's family that we had to deal with, other alien forces, and Mu Ding Yuan would definitely raise troops against us, and even the imperial court might send a large army to encircle and suppress us! A core member of the Wang family, afraid that Wang Yun would be impulsive, hurriedly interjected.
"Ding Yuan Pifu'an dares to do this?" The other head of a small family asked puzzled.
"What don't you dare. Although Ding Yuan is a state pastor, he comes from a humble background, and how many families in the state look at him squarely? How many support him? No, not a single one.
As a state pastor, did he come to Jinyang to take office? Why can you only keep garrisoning Hanoi?
To put it bluntly, no matter who it is, even if he holds the imperial decree and comes to the state to be the governor, taishou, and county order, as long as the Taiyuan Wang clan does not support it, then he can only be a puppet, unless he adopts Ye Teng's violent methods.
The officials of the family were all over the state, and Ding Yuan couldn't even find a suitable position for his righteous son, the famous flying general Lu Bu, so he could only hastily set him up with a position as the master bookkeeper.
Is he a state pastor who is not aggrieved? Can you not hate us in your heart? I just can't find a chance right now. Another core member of the Wang family analyzed.
"But with Ye Teng's demonstration ahead, if we don't take drastic measures, other Inhuman forces and Ding Yuan may follow suit."
"As long as our Wang family doesn't rebel, other strangers are possible, and Ding Yuan will definitely not dare." Wang Yun twisted his beard, quite sure in his heart.
"Why?"
"It's a pure fluke that Yiren got the position of Taishou and county commander this time, and it is unlikely that he will have higher expectations. And Ding Yuan is different, he was born in a poor family, and now he is in the prime of life, but he has been in the respect of the state pastor, and it has been smooth sailing in the officialdom in recent years, in addition to the support of the general He Jin, his own ability is also good.
In the future, can he not be ranked in the court, or even the expectation of being a marquis and paying homage to the prime minister? As long as there is such an expectation, do you think he will be willing to completely offend the Wang family and the civilian clique?
Civil officials and families may not push him to high positions, but it is enough to destroy his ability to rise to high positions!
Without an edict from the imperial court to deal with the Taiyuan Wang family, he offended not only the Wang family, but also all the civil officials and families in the world. ”
"The head of the family is high." There was a lot of sycophants in the hall, but Wang Yun's heart was dripping blood, and a sense of powerlessness surged in his heart.
At this moment, the door of the hall was pushed open, and the rain drifted in with the strong wind, and although it was the height of summer, it still made people feel a little cold.
"Report, the head of the Chen family in Xihe County asks to see!" Looking through the hall gate, you can see a middle-aged man dressed in a lily robe outside the courtyard, standing in the wind and rain outside the verandah.
"Let him in." Wang Yundao.
"No!"
The person who came handed over the clothes to the royal family, stepped into the gate, and bowed to Wang Yun despite the fact that he was a little damp, "Master Wang, please save the Chen family, the alien county order of Pingding County, Xihe County is under martial law!" ”
"Report, a side door of the Zhao family in the Yin Pavilion asks to see you!"
"Let him in."
"Master Wang, I am the only person who escaped from the bloodline of the Zhao family in the Yin Pavilion, please ask the head of the Wang family to avenge my Zhao family, it's too miserable, within one day, the family is ruined!" The people who came were talking, talking, unconsciously kneeling on the ground, crying sadly.
"Report, the head of the Huang family in Shuofang County asks to see!"
"Let him in!"
"Master Wang, please save the Huang family, the Yiren County of Guangmu County has been ordered to be under martial law!"
In just a few minutes, three consecutive waves of distress messages hit everyone's hearts, Wang Yun didn't even have time to respond, and in the hall, there was a sense of sadness about the death of a rabbit and a fox.
What should I do, it is not feasible to raise an army, can I watch these things happen?
Wang Yun stood up, his eyes were sharp and his expression was firm:
"Your difficulties, the Wang family empathizes, and if you are not afraid of losing face, the loss of the Wang family this time is no less than that of all of you here.
But so what? Neither the people here nor the Wang family have the capital to rebel, otherwise, they will face a catastrophe!
But we can't let it go!
We can't directly attack the county and county towns of the imperial court, but if we attack the territory of the Inhumans, His Majesty the Emperor shouldn't pursue it, right?
Please scatter all the scouts and family members in your home, and find out where are all the territories of the aliens who have taken martial law measures in Yanmen County, and find one and destroy the other.
I want everyone in the world to know that the Taiyuan Wang family is not easy to deceive! ”
