When he walked out of the room and heard the cheers and noise inside, his face was full of helplessness, and then he gestured to Uncle Fu, his confidant for many years: "Go ahead and do it. May the ancestors and ancestors forgive me..."
Uncle Fu bowed towards the old king: "No"
Uncle Fu watched the old Wangtou leave, and winked at the family guards in the courtyard. The other party left quietly. Uncle Fu opened the side door of the courtyard, and a group of masked dead warriors with swords walked in.
Uncle Fu whispered: "Kill them all."
"promise"
The door opened, and a group of dead soldiers rushed in.
"Who are you?"
"We are the Wang family in Taiyuan"
"What are you going to do?"'
"Help~!"
"No, it must be the master who wants to kill people and silence them~!"
“Asshole.ah”
The noise ended quickly, and the dead soldiers were covered in blood. The leader among them handed the white porcelain bottle to Uncle Fu, who told them: "From now on, you will be free and live your own life. This is the order of the head of the family."
The other party's eyes were a little dazed. They had been trained to be death warriors since childhood, and they only had loyalty to their family in their minds. Now that they were given this order, they were a little overwhelmed.
Uncle Fu continued in a low voice: "Go. Times have changed. We don't know what the Wang family will be like in the future. Let's go."
The leading dead soldier: "Family is everything to us. Please contact us again if necessary."
Uncle Fu sighed. He was also a family member and knew what it meant. He did not reject the other party's last glimmer of hope and said as he said, "I understand, go ahead."
After the dead man left, Uncle Fu took the porcelain vase into his hand and handed it to Old Wangtou at the door: "Master, it's done."
Old Wangtou looked down at the porcelain vase with dragon, phoenix and cloud patterns in his hand, his face full of sorrow: "For a small vase, my thousand-year-old Wang family fell apart. Oh, what can I do?"
Then he ordered Uncle Fu: "Inform the Taiyuan government office and the general who came to deliver the medicine that my Wang family is unlucky. Internal fighting has resulted in the death of many members of the clan. The Wang family cannot tolerate the elixir blessed by His Majesty, and is willing to return it."
Uncle Fu took the order to deal with it. Lao Wangtou was responsible for suppressing all opposition within the family. The family laws and strict status system within the family allowed Lao Wangtou to temporarily suppress the matter.
Waiting for the verdict of Emperor Ming Zun of the Tang Dynasty, Li Mingda, what Lao Wangtou did was not simple. It seemed like an internal massacre, but in fact it was a short-tailed method of self-protection that allowed the family to continue.
Lao Wangtou has such courage, which does not mean that other aristocratic families have it. Some of them are distributed according to the pre-negotiated distribution system.
The rest is similar to what happened in Lao Wang's family at the beginning. Huanshi was the one who made a fuss, ended up breaking up on bad terms, getting into fights with each other, and even fighting on the spot.
But none of them had the courage to do one thing, which was to smash the elixir bottle given to them by Li Mingda and throw away the elixir inside.
If someone breaks or destroys the items given by the emperor, the lighter person will be punished with a rod, and the more severe person will be beheaded.
The results of the commotion among several companies soon reached Li Mingda's ears. Li Mingda, who had been prepared for this, had no disturbance in his heart and ate another portion of braised chicken and rice.
Only the result of Lao Wangtou's treatment of Lao Wang's family made Li Mingda's eyes light up: It is indeed the most famous Lao Wang's family in the Tang Dynasty. They are found in various time travels, but they are different.
Now that Lao Wangtou has done this to show to himself, Li Mingda thinks that he should be worthy of his hometown's hard work.
I sent someone to convey the message, saying that I was very sad because of the casualties within Lao Wang's family. You can just watch and eat the elixir after I have given it to you.
Lao Wangtou looked at the imperial edict in his hand and shed tears. His original intention was to throw away this hot potato, and he would have to bear the infamy of someone who killed members of his brother's family just to get the elixir for himself.
Now that Li Mingda has given it to you, you can do whatever you want. Lao Wangtou is now a bit stuck. What comforts Lao Wangtou a little is that Li Mingda’s imperial edict has come, and he has also cleared up the affairs of runaways and seclusions. The culprits within the Wangtou family were caught.
However, most of the important criminals had been killed by Lao Wangtou, and they could only take their heads back to recover. This gave Lao Wangtou a chance to breathe.
You see, it’s not that I, Old Wangtou, am unjust and unkind as the head of the family, these people in my own family are not good at all. I feel bad, you know.
It is difficult for one person to influence the opinions of hundreds of people. The general idea is that it is over. Old Wangtou is also a shrewd thief. Taking advantage of the opportunity of the 2000 Cavalry Association in Chang'an City, he took his own tribe and the servants of the brigade and began to migrate with him.
The old Wangtou also purposely rode towards Chang'an City on horseback, just to follow the 2,000 cavalry, and the old Wangtou said: Return the elixir to Mingzun Saint Emperor Li Mingda, and also go to Chang'an. In the name of asking for forgiveness, the two thousand generals of the cavalry were successfully deceived.
The walking speed of the cavalry team slowed down. Taiyuan was not far from Chang'an City, so the cavalry team's return was not delayed.
As soon as Lao Wangtou arrived in Chang'an City, he didn't rest. He took the elixir all the way to the entrance of the palace, knelt down and raised the porcelain vase without saying anything, and waited for Li Mingda to summon him.
When Lao Wangtou made a fuss, Li Mingda was informed by Jin Yiwei Kuai Ma while he was still on the road. As for how to deal with it, Li Mingda had no intention of killing him. Lao Wangtou chose to admit defeat, and Li Mingda considered leaving him A glimmer of hope can be regarded as a benchmark for aristocratic families all over the world.
If the Lao Wang family loses, the Qinghe Cui family loses, and the remaining few are almost wiped out by Li Mingda's hand, Datang's internal affairs will slowly become stable.
They will definitely not be willing to accept the decline of their family and continue to tinker with something behind the scenes. All they have to do is clean up the rotten flesh to prevent secondary infection and recurrence of old diseases.
As the saying goes, the general trend of the world will inevitably divide and unite over time. No dynasty, historical society, can escape this cycle of rise and fall. Even if a family is weakened this year, a new family will rise in ten years, and a big family will appear in a hundred years. .
What Li Mingda needed to do was to prevent excessive wealth disparity in the Tang Dynasty, curb land annexation, and ensure that the people would be fed and clothed without being oppressed by class.
To achieve this goal, Li Mingda considered implementing a democratic system, but was ultimately rejected. She believed that only by maintaining her own military and political power could she implement her ideals. Otherwise, once power was decentralized, the consequences would be disastrous.
However, no one is perfect, and I am not the smartest one. I just stand on the shoulders of giants and look down at the world. There is still a long way to go, so you must grasp your heart.
Yu Xiaoqian informed Lao Wangtou that he was kneeling at the gate of the palace and would not leave. Li Mingda thought for a while and then ordered Yu Xiaoqian: "Bring Lao Wangtou in. The matter is now over, let's listen to what he wants to say."
