There were many people involved in this, many of them Yang, people with more than two surnames, and even the Xun family's office, looming among them. Even Wen Yuanming did not expect that these people would be involved.
If this was not handled well, the entire Lu State would fall into turmoil. Although Wen Yuanming himself was not afraid of the hostility of these people, he had to plan for future generations.
Although Wen Yuanming can make the Wen family stand firm in the Lu Kingdom for just one day, Wen Yuanming has already reached the pinnacle of the world's wandering immortals with his magic power, and can take the step of [Refining the Void and Combining the Dao] at any time, proving that
The way to immortality.
Once Wen Yuanming becomes a heavenly being, he will definitely not stay in this world for long, and Wen loses his support. Under the watchful eyes of a pack of wolves, he will only be torn to pieces by hungry wolves. Wen Yuanming, who has such concerns,
Naturally, I don't want to cause trouble.
Xun Shaoyu looked at Wen Yuanming intently and said coldly: "Since these people dare to work together and violate the strict national laws, they are all people who deserve to be killed. Zaifu will not show mercy to these people who deserve to be killed."
.”
Hearing Yuanming's solemn admonition: "The selfless thoughts of the princes are a blessing to our country, Lu. It's just that this time there are so many people involved. Why don't we handle it lightly and see what the consequences are?"
Xun Shaoyu said impatiently: "There is no need to wait and see the consequences. These people ignore the safety of the country. No matter how lightly they handle it, it will only encourage their arrogance."
"Two hundred thousand stones of relief food was nothing when our Lu Kingdom was at its peak, but now Lu is in trouble domestically and externally, and has been depleted of energy by successive wars. During such an important period, what they did is not worth mentioning.
It is a disregard for national affairs, and to put it bluntly, it is treason and rebellion!"
"Moreover, there is another one here...Xunzi..." He moved his fingers gently on the memorial, and each name stood out in his eyes, and finally he suddenly landed on a name that was both familiar and unfamiliar.
Xun Shangli!!
One of the three elders of the Xun family, the son of a concubine named Taichang Fu Xun, he was once an unparalleled genius. He was also one of the four Cai officials at that time, a figure that Xun Shaoyu regarded as his enemy, and Xun Shaoyu regarded him as such.
Stepping stones, step by step to reach your current position as king.
Xun Shaoyu said quietly: "This man actually participated in this matter, which makes me a little unbelievable. I also had a dispute with him when I was young. Now I am the king, and this son is a minister of the Lu State. The title of king and minister has been determined long ago.
, how could you put the foundation of our Lu Kingdom into play just for the sake of a young feud."
Although he said this, when Xun Shaoyu thought about Xun Shangyi's temperament and Wen Yuanming, Ruofei was not absolutely sure that he would not submit this sensitive memorial. His eyelids drooped and he sighed for a long time.
: "The conflict of spirits is the most harmful to people, and he has become so mad that he is so mad...Does Duke Taiyong know about this?"
Wen Yuanming said in a deep voice: "I can vouch for this, I can guarantee that Xun Taichang is obsessed with martial arts and is an out-and-out martial arts idiot. It is impossible for him to be a part of these stupid schemes."
In the eyes of Xun Shaoyu, this memorial was simply the biggest provocation to his succession. Among them, there were old ministers of Nancai and old ministers of Marquis Wen. Each of these memorials seemed to have Xun Shaoyu in his sights.
In order to ensure the stability of Lu Guochao's situation and even the long-term peace and order in the future, he will not have any intention of exacerbating the situation.
"These veterans... all of them seem to be respectful, but in fact they are not willing to let me, a concubine, become the heir."
"After all, if a widower inherits the throne, it not only ruins the succession of the direct descendants, but also harms the interests of these old ministers. So one by one, they all regard state affairs as a piece of cake, secretly thinking of watching the widower's joke and taking the big promise to the throne.
What did Lu Guodang do?" Xun Shaoyu's eyes were bright and he suddenly pushed all the memorials off the table.
Volumes of memorials were scattered on the ground. Wen Yuanming's expression remained unchanged, but his head was slightly lowered.
"Xun Shangyi... Xun Shangyi, you... are forcing me to do this!" Xun Shaoyu murmured coldly, the murderous intent in his eyes unstoppable, and a cold light surged, which was alluring.
The coldness of the soul has been quietly brewing in my heart.
"Father, these people are all the rotten flesh of our Lu Kingdom. It is painful to scrape the bones to heal the wounds, but the long-term pain is not as good as the short-term pain. I will illuminate my heart with the moon, but the bright moon will illuminate the ditch. Only by cutting off these rotten flesh can the Lu Kingdom see the new world."
meteorological."
Hearing that Yuanming was silent for a moment, he spoke with sonorous force and said: "I know the aspirations of the kings and lords, and my 800-year-old foundation of Lu State cannot be ruined by these people."
…………
Xicheng, the capital of the country, Hulao Prison!
The so-called White Tiger of the West is responsible for fighting and killing. He is the innate number of the Five Elements and Geng Metal. He is a powerful innate fierce god.
This tiger prison was built in the West City to take the spirit of Gengjin from heaven and earth, to use the upright murderous spirit of a country's criminal law, and to use the image of the white tiger in the West to suppress the life-long resentment and death of many prisoners in the prison.
Hulao Prison is a prison built by Xun Shaoyu in the past few years to suppress key criminals. It contains the four grades of Xuanhuang and Heaven, Earth and Xuanhuang. Among them, the Huangpin Prison detains the masters of the innate world, and the Xuanpin Prison suppresses the innate masters.
According to the flow, the earth-grade prison corresponds to those who are extraordinary and saintly, and the heaven-class prison corresponds to the heaven-human series.
However, because Xun Shaoyu's reign was still short, this Hulao Prison was not very famous in the Lu State. The Xuanhuang and Xuanhuang Fourth-grade Prisons that belonged to it were just speculations and were not implemented in reality.
There are very few extraordinary and saintly people in Pinda Prison, and the most detained ones are Xuan and Huang Erpin.
A red-robed jailer slowly walked into the Huangpin Prison with an indifferent expression. Curses, calls for injustice, shouts, and noisy sounds echoed in his ears, making the red-robed jailer's face become colder and heavier.
As soon as they entered the Huangpin Prison, several blue-robed jailers guarding the prison door saw the red-robed jailer and hurriedly walked forward and said respectfully: "Sir,"
The red-robed jailer glanced at the blue-robed jailers indifferently and said, "Are these prisoners new here?"
A blue-robed jailer bowed his hands and said slowly: "Your Excellency, these prisoners are all arrested from all over the Lu State. They are new to our tiger prison. They don't know the rules here, and we don't have time to teach them."
, this is unruly and seems a bit noisy."
This Tiger Prison has many and strict rules. It is almost like a hell on earth. As long as you walk back and forth in it, no one can escape unscathed. It is light to shed even a layer of skin. Life is worse than death in this prison.
A true portrayal of the prison.
There are two levels of wardens in this tiger prison. One is wearing a blue robe, and the other is wearing a red robe. The red robe is the most expensive. The red robe warden is in charge of one prison department, and the blue robe warden is just a subordinate of the red robe warden.
.
The difference in status between these blue-robed jailers and red-robed jailers is almost as great as heaven and earth.
A sickly smile appeared on the red-robed jailer's face, and he said: "You're new here... It's understandable. It doesn't matter if you don't know the rules. Our Tiger Prison is a place to teach people to obey the rules. If he doesn't know the rules, let's teach him."
He behaves himself."
Several blue-robed jailers looked at each other and said, "Sir, what do you mean?"
The red-robed jailer snorted and said Yin Yanyan: "Plug out all these people's tongues. Roast the tongues slowly over a small fire over charcoal fire and feed them one piece per person."
"No!" In response to the red-robed jailer's reaction, several blue-robed jailers felt cold and quickly bowed their heads.
Any warden who can become the leader of a prison department in Hulao Prison is a moody and ruthless character. Killing people for no reason is their most common operation. People often even talk about the red robes worn by the wardens.
, there are rumors that it was dyed red with the blood of prisoners.
The red-robed jailer's expression remained as usual, as if the previously outrageous and cruel order was not given by him. He still spoke unhurriedly and said, "Among the new prisoners... is there one named Yang Kai?"
At this time, a thin blue-robed jailer hesitated for a moment and said: "But...but...my lord, that Yang Kai was thrown into prison by the old master himself."
The so-called four levels of heaven, earth, black and yellow prisons originally had no distinction between superior and inferior. The four levels of heaven, earth, black and yellow were determined only because of the strength of the people being imprisoned.
It is precisely because of this that Yang Kai is imprisoned in the Huangpin Prison instead of the heavy prison of the Xuan Erpin on Earth.
The red-robed jailer smiled softly and whispered to himself: "Oh... Master Wen imprisoned him personally. This is interesting. Master Wen actually imprisoned Yang Chao's nephew in our prison.
.It’s no wonder that old guy from Yang Chao doesn’t hesitate to owe me a favor and wants to see his unfulfilled nephew.”
"It seems... the imperial court has been very uneasy recently. The collision between Wen Yuanming and Yang Chao is really interesting!"
The blue-robed jailers on the side were as silent as a cicada, wishing they could cover their ears, not daring to listen to the red-robed jailer's rebellious words.
The red-robed jailer whispered to several blue-robed jailers and said: "Go and bring Yang Kai to me. His family wants to see him, how can I not satisfy him? This is a good show, Yang Chao
This old fox is not easy to mess with, I want to see how he will deal with his nephew."
This red-robed jailer was also one of the heroes of Xun Shaoyu's rise in the past. It was only because of his violent and murderous temperament that he had no real talent for governing, so he was forced to live in Hulao Prison and take charge of prison sentences.
Although he was far away from the court and the real center of power because of this, he was one of the most loyal people to Xun Shaoyu. If it weren't for this red-robed jailer, who got Xun Shaoyu's signal and relied on Yang Chao's old face
, may not be useful in front of him.
…………
In a cold and gloomy prison cell, Yang Yuan sat quietly on the execution chair, his slightly fat face carrying an indescribable coldness.
Crunch! Crunch!
The cell door was slowly pushed open after a loud sound of chains, and two expressionless blue-robed jailers dragged Yang Kai into the cell.
At this time, Yang Kai's whole body was completely drained of energy and energy, as if his whole body had no bones. He lay limp on the ground, his eyes were dull and empty, and he was being dragged from left to right by two blue-robed jailers.
"You... all go down!" Yang Yuan glanced at the blue-robed jailer, his voice was strong and strong, but there was also a trace of undetectable fatigue.
You know, with the changes in the past few days, the Yang family is in a conspicuous position. Even if there are mistakes and omissions the size of a pinhead, some people will magnify them infinitely.
As for Yang Chao, the pillar of the family, because the monarch asked him to stay behind closed doors for a hundred days to reflect, he could not support his appearance at this time. He could only let Yang Yuan, the only capable person in the Yang family, travel back and forth to work outside.
Although Yang Yuan is the number two figure in the Yang family, in the past, Yang Chao would come forward for everything. Now that Yang Chao cannot come forward, one can imagine the pressure on Yang Yuan.
If Yang Yuan hadn't met a few old friends among the wardens of Hulao Prison, and with Yang Chao's face and support, the important ministers might not have been able to find the gate of Hulao Prison.
"..."
The two blue-robed jailers glanced at Yang Yuan with empty eyes. They didn't say anything in response. They just turned around and walked out of the cell door, closing the heavy iron door with a rustling sound.
clang!!
The cell door was closed heavily, and the iron door echoed melodiously, echoing endlessly in this silent cell.
"Yang Kai," Yang Yuan looked at Yang Kai indifferently, as if he were looking at a stranger, without any trace of family affection.
The disaster that Yang Kai got into this time was really too great. Yang Yuan only knew a small part of what he had committed, and he had already secretly abandoned this useless nephew in his heart.
The rise of the Yang family is not easy. Let alone a dandy, even if Yang Yuan himself is sacrificed, Yang Yuan has no choice but to die. Compared with the inheritance of a family, the weight of individual family ties is too light.
Yang Kai saw Yang Yuan's cold face, and the coldness flooded his whole body, and murmured: "Ten...Uncle Ten!"
"You still have the nerve to call me Uncle Ten, but you have no idea how much trouble you have caused for the Yang family?" Yang Yuan's cold gaze made him want to eat Yang Kai alive.
"Uncle Ten...Uncle Ten...save me, save me, save me!" Yang Kai struggled to crawl to Yang Yuan's feet, hugged Yang Yuan's feet, and kept crying and begging. His embarrassed appearance made people sigh.
Endless.
It's just that Yang Kai himself didn't realize it. The cruelty of this tiger prison completely frightened the dude Yang Kai to the point of not thinking about his subordinates. He saw with his own eyes how the warders tortured the prisoners in the prison.
The prisoners, how miserable those prisoners were, just crying for death.
It was really a matter of life and death. Yang Kai just took one look at it and had the idea that it would be better to kill himself immediately.
Yang Yuan looked at Yang Kai indifferently and said calmly: "You know you are wrong?"
"Uncle Ten, my nephew has realized his mistake. My nephew has really realized his mistake. My nephew will never dare to do it again. For the sake of my deceased parents, please give my nephew a chance." Yang Kai kept begging, Hu
One day in jail is like a year, and it is indeed a terrible torture.
"Recognize your mistake... Unfortunately, it's too late!"
Yang Yuan closed his eyes and spoke slowly about the cruel and cold reality: "The mistakes you made are too big. The Wuyang family cannot deal with your mess. You can only face your own mistakes.
.”
"No...no...Uncle Ten, Uncle Ten,"
Yang Kai got a strength from nowhere and hugged Yang Yuan's legs tightly, trembling and said: "Uncle Ten, this is impossible, this is impossible, our Yang family is the arm of the monarch, the Yang family wants to protect me
Isn’t it possible to retaliate?”
Yang Yuan looked at his nephew who was in a state of embarrassment, with a cold look in his eyes. He struggled hard, and Yang Kai tore off a section of his trousers, and said harshly: "If I had known this, why would you have bothered me in the first place?"
My brother and I have told you many times to tell right from wrong and not to be used by people with ulterior motives."
"But what about you? When have you ever been able to keep our words in your heart? When have you not turned a deaf ear to them, going in one ear and out the other? It's too late to repent now!!"
The Yang family's weight in the Lu Kingdom is indeed not small, and the Yang Dynasty is the auxiliary of the Central Asia, ranking among ten thousand people. If some price is paid, Yang Kai may not be able to survive.
After all, what Yang Kai committed was too sensitive. If he was spared his life, how would the Yang family explain it to the monarch?
The so-called excuses of being young and frivolous, being too young to get things done, etc., can only be used when the interests of the Lu State are not harmed. If the interests of the Lu State are harmed and the interests of the Lu State are not harmed, the Yang family is secretly exerting influence.
"Uncle Ten...Uncle Ten..." Yang Kai cried bitterly, his whole body was confused and he was just muttering unconsciously.
Yang Yuan said leisurely: "Don't blame your tenth uncle for being cruel, and don't blame the prince for not giving you a way to live. You haven't given hundreds of thousands of people a way to live, so leaving you a way to live is a bit too much."
"Besides, you have to know one thing. The Lord will not let you walk alone. Huangquan Road will never let you be lonely. I'm afraid it will be very busy then."
Yang Yuan sighed and said: "No need to fight to the death. Tell me everything you know. Don't hide it. Those people can't be counted on. They are all people who cannot be protected by the Ni Bodhisattva crossing the river.
, what can I do to give you a way to survive?"
"Don't take chances. This thing is the most serious thing. If you deserve to die, you won't be able to live, and if you deserve to live, you won't die."
Looking at Yang Kai, who almost lost his spine and fell to the ground limply, Yang Yuan shook his head and muttered: "You will not survive if you do it for yourself!"
It is inevitable for the Yang family to abandon Yang Kai. This dandy, who relies on the power of the Yang family to dominate, usually does not harm the overall interests of the Yang family. Both Yang Chao and Yang Yuan, who are the pillars, have sufficient support for him.
patience.
But what is touched this time is the interests of the entire Lu State. The Yang family exists as a dependence on the Lu State. If the Lu State is destroyed, the Yang family will be nothing.
This is the tragedy of people from a wealthy family. Being born in such a wealthy family is both a great blessing and a responsibility that one cannot help but have. Since one enjoys the benefits brought by the wealthy family, he must be part of the family’s bundle, and it is natural that he should do so.
Throw away life and death for it.
In this Hulao Prison, Yang Kai was not just an exception, there were more than a dozen members of the clan who had similar experiences at the same time.
After all, you only need to give up an insignificant person in exchange for your own family's stability. It is not surprising that the choices of these noble elders coincide with those of the Yang family.
