Wang Geng, who had been silent, saw that the situation was not right, knelt and moved a few steps forward, snatched the envelope from Wang Xiao's hand, glanced at it roughly, and saw the contents of the letter, Wang Geng's eyes widened angrily, threw down the envelope, slapped Wang Xiao fiercely, and shouted:

"Rebel! You rebel! ”

Wang Xiao's beaten face suddenly deviated, and there were five clear finger prints on his right face, and the next moment, blood flowed from the corners of his mouth.

The Wang family who were kneeling on the ground were all stunned and didn't know what was going on.

Wang Geng knelt on the ground, his words were sincere, and his expression was sad: "It's the old minister who has no way to teach his son, and the responsibility is borne by the old minister..."

"Lord Taibao, I'm afraid you're old and confused, aren't you?" Emperor Xi snorted coldly:

"The last watermark of the envelope is the right phase seal, not the crown prince's seal! Is he Wang Xiao just like Wang Zishu, a child! ”

When Wang Geng heard this, he opened his mouth and paused, but he didn't know what to say.

Wang Xiao saw his old father pleading for himself, and knelt down with a handful of tears:

"It's all Weichen's fault, it's Weichen who is confused, it's not a pity that Weichen died, but the rest of the Wang family is innocent! Ask the emperor to see it! ”

Kneeling in the cold Jinluan Palace, Wang Xiao deeply remorseed, he hated it so much!

Xiguo is only a small subsidiary of Huaguo, so every year there are Xiguo officials who want to go to Huaguo to serve, and these officials will secretly write to Huahuang in order to get the favor of Huahuang, complain and complain about Xiguo's problems, complain and complain about Xihuang, and then show loyalty.

Seeing that Wang Zishu was about to face the exam of Lintian Academy in two years, Wang Xiao also wanted to go to Huaguo to serve and provide shelter for her daughter.

Therefore, Wang Xiao also wrote a similar letter to the Emperor Hua, which was a tacit secret in officialdom, but today it has become a reminder for the Wang family.

Even if Wang Xiao suffered, he could not confess to those officials who had written such letters like him. First, he has no evidence, and secondly, if those accused people jump over the wall in a hurry, the Wang family will die even worse!

"Now that the right minister has admitted all the guilt, then I will take matters into account." Emperor Xi smiled coldly:

"Right Prime Minister Wang Xiao, there is a heart of rebellion, everyone in the Wang family has a heart of disobedience, take away all the official positions of the Wang family, put them in prison, and choose a day to behead!"

Looking at the old Wang Geng in the palace, Emperor Xi paused for a moment, and added: "The crown prince Taibao, hard work and high achievement, remember the old feelings, and avoid his capital crime, but he will not be allowed to enter Beijing without an edict for the rest of his life!" ”

As soon as Emperor Xi's voice fell, everyone in the Wang family was like ashes, and Wang Zishu even crawled in front of his father Wang Xiao, and roared hoarsely:

"Father, what the hell have you done? I don't want to die, I don't want to die! ”

Wang Xiao looked at the daughter she had always loved, smacked the corners of her mouth, and finally couldn't say a word.

Wang Geng looked at the people of the Wang family who were crying wolves in a mess, and for a moment, they seemed to be ten years old.

He sat down on the ground in despair, and his old tears were rampant: "The minister is not good, the minister is not good!" ”

Thinking of the few children of the Wang family who he sent back to the ancestral house in advance, Wang Geng's sad heart flashed with a hint of relief, at least, the Wang family was not broken...

Taking a deep look at everyone in the Wang family, Wang Xiao closed his old eyes, opened them immediately, and slammed into the pillar closest to him!

"Quick! Stop him! ”

When Emperor Xi saw Wang Geng's movements, he suddenly got up in fright, and quickly ordered the attendants around him, but it was too late...

Wang Geng's forehead slammed into the pillar fiercely, blood flowed wantonly down his old cheeks, his old eyes were wide open, as if he was dead, but there was a quiet smile on the corner of his mouth, which looked extremely weird.

The hearts of the people in the hall trembled, and the women and children of the Wang family were timid, and even screamed and retreated.

An attendant had the courage to probe Wang Geng's snort, then retracted his hand, knelt on the ground and bowed his head, and said, "Lord Wang, go..."

Emperor Xi looked at Wang Geng's appearance, and rubbed his eyebrows tiredly: "Wang Geng has worked hard all his life, and now in order to prove his innocence, he hit the pillar and died, and he said "mourning", and buried it with the rites of the country..."

"Xi Guozhi" contains, on May 25, the ninth year of Jiaxi, the Wang family was imprisoned for rebellion, and the Wang family was beheaded on the same day.

"Queen Mother, Queen Mother, it's not good!"

Empress Xi entered Shoukang Palace in a panic, and when Empress Dowager Xi saw that she was completely out of grace, she frowned:

"What are you yelling about? The mourning family is very good! ”

Queen Xi had always been afraid of this aunt, so she shrank when she heard this, lowered her head and replied sadly: "Queen Mother, the Wang family... All of them are going to be beheaded... My father, he died by hitting the pillar..."

"What?!"

Empress Dowager Xi stood up suddenly, with a look of disbelief: "How could it be... How so..."

"Mother, what should we do?" Queen Xi was unassertive and asked worriedly.

Empress Dowager Xi sat back on the phoenix chair again and did not speak for a long time.

Her brother, her mother's family, that's it, it's over...

After a long time, Empress Dowager Xi waved her hand tiredly: "It's too late... From now on, the mourning family will enter the main nunnery and will not ask about anything again..."

"Queen Mother!" Queen Xi looked at the Empress Dowager Xi in shock, the Wang family is gone, and the Empress Dowager Xi is escaping, so what should she do?

"Go ahead." Empress Dowager Xi didn't want to say more, turned around and went back to the dormitory.

Queen Xi looked at the figure of Empress Dowager Xi leaving in a daze, at a loss.

Ning Wang Shizi's Mansion.

In order to facilitate the treatment, Su Wu has been living in the palace of the prince of Ning.

Now, with the support of Zhishu and Zhili, she can barely walk.

Su Wu was looking at the scroll in the pavilion in the back garden of the Shizi Mansion at this time, and heard that the scholar was dancing like a storyteller to tell the tragedy of the Wang family in the Jinluan Palace, and when she heard Wang Geng's ending, Su Wu sighed faintly.

The jubilant Zhishu who was talking happily paused, and asked in confusion: "The Wang family who framed the master has received the punishment he deserves, why is the young lady still unhappy?" ”

Su Wan smiled faintly: "It is the other Wang family who is guilty, but how unfortunate is Wang Geng, the prince of the mourning country, not to mention, even though the Wang family has fallen, the intertwined forces under the Wang family have not been cleaned up, and this world is still very chaotic..."

Zhishu is much simpler than Zhili, she doesn't quite understand what Su Wu means, she just thinks that the wicked have evil retribution and is worth being happy, and seeing that Su Wu seems to be unhappy, she has no choice but to keep silent.

"Miss Su, how is your body feeling?"

Su Wan was stunned, and was called back to her senses by a clear voice, Lu Mengjun was dressed in gray and stood not far away, with picturesque eyebrows.

Look at the man standing in the garden, wearing a gray brocade robe, his every move is indescribably gentle.

Su Wu thought of a sentence in an instant: Mo Shangren is like jade, and the son is unparalleled in the world.

After sighing, Su Wan quietly blushed, sighed secretly, and replied with a smile: "It's almost fine, you can go back to the academy today, I'm really sorry for bothering me for so many days." ”

Hearing that Su Wu was leaving, Lu Mengjun's face was stained with a trace of gloom: "Is it that Meng Jun is not well entertained?" Why is Miss Su in a hurry? ”

When Su Wu saw Lu Mengjun's appearance, her heart froze, and just as she was about to explain, she heard Li Yang come and report:

"Shizi, Miss Su, Miss Su, the daughter of Mrs. Su, is here to visit."
