"I can't give him the promised title, nor can I give him ten thousand gold. It's really easy to make people angry. Now that I've decided to win over this person..."
King Wei suddenly turned his eyes to his son: "I want to marry Yingying to him. What do you think?"
Li Tianrong was slightly startled when he heard this, and was speechless for a long time. After a while, he said: "This is a life-long event, how can you make such a hasty decision? I have to ask Miss Yu what she means. And although Li Changsheng is brave, he may not be a good match for Miss Yu..."
King Wei looked on with cold eyes and suddenly said: "Tianrong, you must know that your mother-in-law will never allow you to marry the daughter of a declining family as your main wife. If it is a concubine, it will be okay."
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Tianrong hurriedly refused: "This is absolutely impossible!"
Seeing her father looking at her with deep meaning, she hurriedly explained: "Miss Yu is an orphan of the Yu family. She has no relatives and takes shelter in our house. If she gets married seriously, it will be a good story, but it will be a good story." For her to be reduced to a concubine, wouldn’t it make the world think that the family is bullying an orphan girl?”
His expression was a little complicated: "My son has always treated her as his sister and has no feelings for her. If she is really interested after meeting Li Changsheng, why don't you accept her as your righteous son?" Girl, do you want to be betrothed again? In this way, the family will not only gain a good reputation, but it will also make Li Changsheng serve you wholeheartedly."
When King Wei heard this, he relaxed and said, "It's hard for you to think so thoughtfully."
Then he waved his hand and sent him down: "Father has his own opinion on this matter, so go ahead."
Li Tianrong was particularly uneasy. He just looked at his father's eyes and did not dare to say anything. He bowed to him and retreated.
King Wei sent someone to invite Miss Yu to come over again.
…
Speaking of which, Miss Yu's status in Prince Wei's Mansion is really embarrassing.
She is a relative of Prince Wei's family, but this relationship goes back many years.
Because she was the niece of King Wei's first wife, the princess, and now the biological mother of Princess Wei and the crown prince Li Tianrong. She was actually the concubine who was raised up after the death of the original princess.
Yu Yingying lost her mother when she was born, and her father died in the battlefield a few years later. Princess Wei took pity on her niece who had no father or mother, and she had no children, so she took her to the palace to educate her personally.
However, the good times did not last long. Within a few years, Princess Wei passed away. The former concubine Chang was promoted to the main concubine, and Yu Yingying's situation in the Palace of Wei became embarrassing.
And what can the Wei Palace do?
Sending people away?
There are not many people left in the Yu family now.
His former first wife had just passed away, and it would be too cold to drive away the only trace of blood from her natal family.
It's better to ask her to stay in the house, and there will be no shortage of food for the left and right.
Besides, Yu Yingying was not a freeloader. The Yu family still had wealth. Before Princess Wei died, she also decided to give all her dowry to this niece.
In the final analysis, the Wei Palace just provided shelter for Yu Yingying, an orphan girl.
Benefit without any cost.
Yu Yingying grew up in Prince Wei's Mansion like this, and people in the mansion called her "cousin." Princess Wei Chang was arrogant and resentful that she was inferior to Princess Yu, so they couldn't help but secretly criticize her. It was hard work, but fortunately, Yu Yingying was tough enough and protected by the eldest son Li Tianrong, which allowed her to survive so many years.
The Yu family has been in the army for generations, and Yu Yingying is also the daughter of a general. Since her parents are both dead, her aunt and the original wife of the King of Wei are very supportive of letting her niece learn some martial arts. This is also the reason why she is in the army at this time. , Yu Yingying was able to go with him.
Well, although the king of Wei was not very strict in running the army.
…
Ever since the rebellion started and Yu Yingying left Beijing with the people from the Wei Palace, she had been filled with many worries that could not be explained to outsiders.
Having lived in Prince Wei's Mansion for many years, she knew the nature of Prince Wei very well, and it would not be too much to say that he was ambitious but not talented.
How can such a person conquer the world?
The greater risk comes from the current Princess Chang of Wei.
It is against etiquette for this dynasty to support the concubine, but the reason why Chang was able to rise to the position of Princess Wei was because she had a good sister.
Chang Guifei, a beautiful and unrivaled concubine, has been favored by the emperor for many years. With it, the lintel of the Chang family has also risen, and she can look down on the dignitaries of Kyoto from a high position.
Of course, the imperial concubine's sister can make an exception.
So the concubine Chang became the main concubine of the King of Wei.
But behind the light is a shadow. The Chang family rose because of the imperial concubine, but it may not necessarily fall because of the imperial concubine.
Nowadays, the rebels are in rebellion, the emperor has fled westward, Kyoto has fallen into the hands of thieves, and the people of Li are in ruins. Someone always needs to take the blame.
So who could this person be?
Chapter 112
Just as Yu Yingying thought, at this moment, a huge storm was brewing among the emperor's western hunting team.
The center of the storm is Concubine Chang and the Chang family.
"If Ji Yongnian was domineering, fanning the flames and urging the emperor to send troops, how could the situation collapse overnight and become what it is today!"
"Chang Yongnian, oh, haven't he done many evil things? Several southern expeditions back then were unsuccessful. He was not held accountable. Instead, he was promoted to a noble position, but he suffered a lot. tens of thousands of soldiers..."
"There was a flood in Hedong Road that year, and almost all the crops in that season were waterlogged. However, when the emperor asked, he deliberately covered it up and punished a censor who dared to speak out. As a result, several people in Hedong Road starved to death. The countless plans and crimes are too numerous to describe!"
Chang Yongnian had been domineering for several years when he gained power. Now he was defeated and left the capital, his wife and children were separated. Due to the grief and anger of the crowd, someone finally drew his sword and came to Chang Yongnian, Chang Guifei's brother. in front of the horse.
She scolded him sternly: "You are a treacherous person who deceives the emperor above and tortures the people below. How can you have the face to live in the world?!"
Another person spat at him fiercely: "You traitor, why don't you get off your horse!"
Chang Yongnian's heart skipped a beat when he saw this group of soldiers surrounding him. However, seeing that there were not many of them and the emperor's palace was not far away, he managed to calm down: "Whose subordinates are you? How dare you be so rude in front of me!"
He also said with a serious expression, "Quickly retreat, I will not hold you accountable for your crimes. If not, you will all suffer bad consequences!"
The soldier who had been leading the scolding did not retreat when he heard the words and became angry: "You are a sinner of the country and a traitor who deceives the emperor. You are about to die, but you still dare to speak so shamelessly!"
After saying that, Chang Yongnian didn't even have time to react, so he pulled him off his horse and kicked him hard in the lower abdomen. When the others saw this, they immediately gathered around him.
Chang Yongnian didn't realize what happened until his body fell to the ground and he was hit by several kicks on his body, causing pain.
He had lived in luxury for many years, but once he ended up in such a situation, the panic and uneasiness that surged in his heart were quickly replaced by shock and anger.
"How dare you—"
The emperor's retinues were not far away, and the accompanying troops were stationed beside him. He protected his head and face from the fists and feet falling like raindrops, endured the severe pain, and shouted: "Here comes someone." , they have rebelled, they are going to rebel!”
I thought that this group of Qiu Ba would flee in panic, but unexpectedly, more and more fists and kicks fell on them.
It was also at this time that Chang Yongnian finally felt fear.
There was an imperceptible "click" sound, and his arms hung down weakly. While his head and neck were being attacked, out of his panicked peripheral vision, he caught a glimpse of the prince and his cronies standing not far away. , looked at this scene with a gloomy expression.
Meeting his gaze, the prince's lips curved a little.
That is ridicule and mockery.
Chang Yongnian seemed to hear a loud thunder-like sound coming from his ears.
He knew that he was finished.
The accident happened quickly. By the time Chang Yongnian's death reached the emperor's ears, the situation had become out of control.
Chang Yongnian died. He was punched and kicked, and several bones were broken. After that, he was hacked to death by angry soldiers with knives. Even his head was cut off and hung as a trophy.
He died, but the anger of the soldiers has not been completely eliminated - the capital fell and the whole world suffered. In such a chaos, how could it be enough for only one Chang Yongnian to die?
The blood of everyone in the Chang family must be used to wash away the resentment and hatred in their hearts!
Look at what kind of life they have been living these years. Not to mention the courtiers, even the princes and grandsons have to ask for bribes from them. When Chang Guifei's sisters travel, the honor guard is more expensive than that of the princes. The roads they have walked, the treasures left behind Countless jewelry, even this time he escaped, it was still a BMW, and the family wealth was countless...
And how many illegal things have he done in the capital?
Even the emperor's princess will be bullied by the Chang family, let alone ordinary people!
In the past, when the world was peaceful and the rule of law was strict, the soldiers of the Forbidden Army could still tolerate it. Now that the prince is backing him and Chang Yongnian has been killed, if he doesn't eradicate the root cause, there will be endless troubles!
Without the emperor's knowledge, the Chang family was brutally purged. The concubine's sisters, cousins, and even her natal nephews, no matter they were adults or not, were all spared.
After all the Chang clan members were killed, everyone's eyes inevitably turned to the imperial concubine beside the emperor.
Everyone knows that that is the source of the Chang family's power.
Finally, the prince and the general of the imperial army went to the palace to meet the emperor.
In the dark night, only rows of torches were burning. Under the bright and warm light were pairs of eyes as deep as black holes.
No one knows what the prince and the emperor actually talked about. They only know that in the end, a chamberlain serving the emperor sent the emperor's oral message to the imperial concubine who was in panic all day long.
The emperor ordered him to die.
That afternoon, the peerless noble concubine ended her life as gorgeous and sad as a peony.
The emperor ordered the property of the Chang family to be rewarded to the soldiers, and then ordered to abdicate and become the Supreme Emperor. The Crown Prince then ascended the throne before the imperial army and became the Changming Emperor.
…
This incident happened when the emperor was on his way to the west. Yu Yingying, who was hundreds of miles away, had no way of knowing. However, her innate sensitivity to the political situation made her feel it. Danger.
The King of Wei is not someone to conspire with, and cannot stay with the King of Wei for a long time.
As for Princess Wei and the Crown Prince, the blood of the Chang family is too distinct. It is hard to say what will happen to the mother and son amid the turmoil.
Thinking of this, Yu Yingying inevitably felt worried about her future.
She also has confidants left behind by her aunt, and loyal servants who have served the Yu family for many years. She even has a large sum of money on hand, but she still can't help but feel worried. .
In troubled times, it is too difficult for an orphan girl to stand still, but what she holds in her hands may become her talisman!
At this moment, King Wei's people came to the outside of the tent and said politely: "Your Majesty, please come over and talk to me."
Yu Yingying didn't even need to give her a wink. The maid wearing men's clothing handed over the benefits and asked with a smile on her face: "Brother, do you know what it is?"
The attendant who delivered the letter felt the warmth of the gold ring, and his expression became more kind: "I was listening outside, and it seemed to be related to the girl's marriage..."
Yu Yingying's heart skipped a beat.
As a former uncle with no direct blood relationship, does King Wei have the qualifications to make the decision on her marriage?
It's sad to admit that he really has this qualification!
There is no one left in the Yu family. This uncle who nominally raised Yu Yingying and is also the emperor's younger brother can completely control Yu Yingying's marriage!
Yu Yingying had several ideas running through her mind quickly, but without showing it on her face, she took off the bracelet from her wrist and stuffed it into the attendant's hand. A hint of pleading appeared on her face: "Please return it." Please say more, after all, this matter is actually very important to me..."
The attendant has always had a good relationship with her, or in other words, except for Princess Wei Chang, Yu Yingying has a good relationship with the rest of the people in the Wei Palace, so the attendant is happy to say a few words at this time.
