Luoyang City.
Situ Mansion.
The plain corridors are like flags.
Two hundred and sixteen members of the Wang family died in Anyi. When the news came, Wang Yun was already helpless.
They could only send someone to secretly steal the heads of his direct relatives, including Wang Yun's two younger brothers and three uncles.
Not only the heads, Wang Yun also had the bodies moved back from the mass graves. After a few days, the bodies had already rotted.
Outside the mourning hall, Wang Yun's children stood quietly in the snow, not daring to whisper to each other or make random comments.
Wang Yun, the head of the family, knelt in front of the soul and looked directly at Wang Qian's body that had been sewn up.
"Hutu, Hutu, I've told you not to have too much contact with the barbarians, why didn't you listen..."
"Having me in the court for the next day can ensure that my Wang family will not decline. You can't listen to a word I said to you, can you?"
"Dad warned me back then that I couldn't leave the Wang family in your hands, but I was confused and believed my mother's words and your evil deeds..."
"You not only harmed yourself, but also implicated hundreds of people in my Wang family. You deserve to die, they... they..."
Wang Yun burst into tears. He hated Wang Qian's stupidity, hated Wei Cheng's ruthlessness, and hated the Wei family's ruthlessness. But all of this was irreversible. As the saying goes, death is like a lamp going out. The once famous Wang family in Taiyuan, now There are only a dozen or so people in his group left.
Beside Wang Yun, his wife Wang Wei looked terrified.
After being born in the Wei family, she was most worried about Wang Yun's attitude towards her. On one side was her natal family, on the other side was her husband's family, which put her directly in a dilemma.
She also complained that Wei Cheng was ignorant. Couldn't she let the Wang family go for the sake of her aunt?
But she knew in her heart that compared to the rise and fall of the Wei family, she was a mere daughter who married outside the family and was of no importance at all.
In this matter, if it weren't for the support of Wei Hao, Wei Min, Wei Yan and others, Wei Cheng would not have dared to be so ruthless.
It is foreseeable that after experiencing this incident, the Wei family will definitely become one of the most powerful families in the Han Dynasty.
After wiping out 50,000 Xiongnu cavalry, the family was immediately exterminated. The reason given was also very sufficient. The Wang family of Taiyuan colluded with foreigners and attempted to harm their compatriots. The evidence was irrefutable. No one dared to say that the Wei family did something wrong.
I really don’t dare. The fate of those 50,000 Huns is still vivid in our minds. No one wants to become the next Wang family.
Even Dong Zhuo and his like have stopped recently. They may not care about the annihilation of the Wang family, but they can't help but face the power of the Wei family. Fifty thousand Xiongnu cavalry came well prepared, but they couldn't even break through the city gate of Anyi. Not only was the army wiped out, but thousands of people were also captured.
It would be an understatement to say it was terrifying.
So, the next day after hearing the news.
Dong Zhuo asked the young emperor to draw up a decree to make Wei Cheng the general of Zhenbei, and merge it with the prefecture. In other words, including Hedong, seven or eight counties such as Taiyuan, Shangdang, Xihe, Shangjun, Shuofang, etc. were all included in Wei Cheng's possession.
Not only Wei Cheng, but also many members of the Wei family were granted official positions, including Xu Ding, Xu Chu, Xu Huang, Zhang Fei, Hua Kun, Tian Feng, Xun Or... almost all official positions in a state were covered.
The eunuch who drafted the decree didn't know it until he wrote it. After writing it, he discovered that the Wei family was really full of talents. Whether it was military generals or civil servants, there seemed to be no shortage of them. Originally, Dong Zhuo had asked him to put a few of his own people in. After writing it, he discovered that the Wei family was full of talents. There are not enough points for one's own people.
There are too many talents and too few official positions, which is embarrassing.
When Dong Zhuo learned about this, he stared at the imperial edicts in stunned silence for a long time, and finally sighed helplessly. He seemed to have aged suddenly, and he waved his hand to indicate to the eunuch that he would take care of it.
The eighth day of November.
Lu Bu personally led an army to escort the two eunuchs and declared the decree on their backs.
Wei Cheng did not come forward, so Wei Hao, as the head of the family, could only reluctantly accept the order on his behalf.
The two eunuchs did not dare to say anything. They declared the decree honestly. They did not dare to ask for the red envelope and returned to Luoyang that night.
But Lu Bu stayed because he heard that the Wei family had another good thing called Longshan Jia.
"Oh, Sikong, I didn't expect that I would be treated like this when I'm getting old."
Several elders of the Wei clan gathered together. Wei Hao held the imperial edict with a teasing look on his face, showing no signs of joy.
The fifth uncle Wei Zhu also sneered, took an imperial edict, and said disdainfully: "If it were before, Da Honglu would have been able to go, but now our Wei Family Goodwill Hall is no worse than Da Honglu. This Dong Zhuo has disgusting intentions. Can’t I?”
Several other clan elders laughed and did not take these imperial edicts seriously. The reason why they went to receive the edicts was entirely to deceive others, so as not to make people think that the Wei family was acting rampantly and did not even pay attention to the Han Dynasty. inside.
But the truth is, the current Wei family is really not like the so-called Han family. It is true that we are Han people, but it has nothing to do with you Liu family.
"Hey, why is Cheng'er here too?" Wei Yan looked up and saw Wei Cheng walking in holding the hands of the two children.
Aning looked around at the old man inside. When he saw Wei Hao, he ran over happily and said coquettishly: "Grandpa Wei, I want to eat grilled fish!"
Wei Hao's pretense of seriousness melted instantly, he hugged the chubby An Ning affectionately, pierced An Ning's face with his beard, and said with a smile: "Hey, my dear grandson, you want to eat grilled fish, then grandpa Can we go fishing soon?"
Aning giggled when he was tickled by the thorns, nodded and said: "Okay, okay, I'm going fishing too, and Niu Niu also wants to go together."
Niu Niu was more reserved. He raised his head and glanced at Wei Cheng. With Wei Cheng's encouragement, he walked up to Wei Hao and bowed like an adult, "Hello, grandpa."
Wei Hao likes children, but it is a pity that his two sons are unsatisfactory and have nothing to do. When he is old, he has no hobbies. He just likes to see his children and grandchildren in the house, while he sits on the main seat and smiles happily.
"Okay, okay, Niu Niu is coming too, let's go fishing together." Wei Hao stood up kindly and left as soon as he said it.
Upon seeing this, the fifth uncle Wei Yan hurriedly said: "Wait a minute, brother, there are still things to discuss. What should we do with these imperial edicts?"
Wei Hao looked at Wei Cheng, curled his lips and said, "Isn't this Youchen'er? Just ask him."
Little Aning looked curiously at the imperial edict on the low table. The exquisite embroidery of the imperial edict made her eyes light up. "Hey, what is this? It looks good!" Aning picked up an imperial edict and put it around her waist. Picked up the belt.
When Wei Wei saw this, he hurriedly stepped forward to stop it. This was an imperial decree!
Wei Hao, on the other hand, chuckled and said, "Yeah, let's play with it. If one is enough, take away all of them."
"Brother?" Wei Yan looked at Wei Hao in disbelief.
Wei Hao said angrily: "What do you call it, don't you think my dear grandson likes it?"
He lowered his head and said to Niu Niu: "Come on, Niu Niu, take one too. It can be used as a mat when fishing later."
Wei Yan was speechless. Is it okay to use the imperial edict as a mat?
Aning and Niu Niu told him with practical actions.
Okay, that's great. It's very comfortable to sit on.
Wei Cheng smiled and said nothing. He did not come here for the imperial edict. What he wanted was the vast hectares of fertile land in Bingzhou.
