Brother Lu is out on business, so he is naturally tired from traveling and traveling. My younger brother is also here to pick you up and wash away your dust. I wonder where he went this time? "
Brother Lu raised his eyebrows, drank a glass of wine in one gulp, and sighed, his face full of sadness.
"Going anywhere is a chore. People like us who have joined in recent years can't get a good position at all."
The familiar man kept cursing secretly in his heart, but he still had a smile on his face.
"Hahaha, I am treating you to this meal today, which can be regarded as a blessing for Brother Lu."
The man looked at the sky outside and said hello to the restaurant, who immediately got the drinks.
The man smiled and said with an attentive face, "Brother Lu, this is the drink I bought for you, have a try."
As he spoke, he poured a bowl of wine for him.
Brother Lu took a sip, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he drank it all in one gulp.
"Is this General Lie from Yuntong County?"
"good."
"This wine is not cheap!"
"Brother Lu and I have a close relationship. Just drinking is nothing!"
The man chuckled, "It's already late today anyway, why don't we chat until dawn."
Brother Lu tightened the package tightly, hesitated for a moment, and looked helpless.
"I have to go to the mansion tomorrow. Things are a bit big this time. I feel like things are going to change."
The man raised his eyebrows, a strong curiosity arose, and smiled to himself.
"We are just small people. No matter what we do, we might as well do our own thing well."
Brother Lu nodded and poured a glass of wine.
"Come here, let me toast you!"
"please!"
Not long after, both of them were drunk and dizzy.
Dragging Brother Lu to the guest room upstairs, the man pushed him carefully and found that he was completely drunk.
He immediately and carefully took the package from his hand. After opening it, he saw some clothes, a money bag and a letter inside.
When he saw the letter, excitement appeared on the man's face. He originally wanted to open the letter, but he hesitated.
Because there are some things that can be seen and some things that cannot be seen. If you look at them, you may be killed.
After putting the letter close to his body, he immediately walked out of the restaurant and set off towards the city gate on horseback. At this time, there was a curfew. No one was allowed to walk on the streets after the curfew, and no one was allowed to leave the city.
Looking at the soldiers at the city gate, the man didn't panic at all and showed the token in his hand. The soldiers saw it and immediately let him go.
After leaving the city, the man directly shifted into fifth gear and sped off into the distance.
But not long after the man set off, Brother Lu slowly raised his head with a sneer on his face.
With this amount of alcohol, I just want to get drunk. It seems that the letter should be able to achieve the designated goal.
A few days later, the man had become unshaven and his eyes were bloodshot when he entered the Wang family's territory.
We hardly stopped anywhere, and we could change horses just by showing the token, which was almost unbearable.
In the past seven or eight days, I had at most two good nights' sleep, and spent the rest on horseback.
When it's time to go to bed, just let the horse walk and squint for a while. When you wake up, first gear will go directly to fifth gear. Can it be faster?
Wang family, mansion, study.
Wang Xu held a letter, a trace of shock flashed in his cloudy eyes.
A chill rose from his back.
"Why? Why collude with Yang Qian."
"We are in-laws."
The old man screamed in his heart, but no emotion could be seen on the surface, and no emotion could be seen on his face.
"Notice it down, it's time for Wang Lin to make a move."
"promise!"
Not long after, a general purge began in Chaoxian's court. A large number of officials were beheaded and those with better luck were imprisoned.
Those who are unlucky will be beheaded directly, or even
The disaster will last for three generations.
The Xie family hurriedly hurried home and finally talked about the matter. The head of the Xie family suddenly felt cold sweat breaking out all over his body.
Although the Wang and Xie families are the strongest, if we make a forced comparison, the Wang family is still stronger than our own.
The powerful point and the key point is that the Wang family occupies more high-ranking positions in the court than their own, especially the prime minister. Since Li Chi was captured, the Li family has lost power.
Taking advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, the Wang family took advantage of the situation and won the position of prime minister in one fell swoop.
That's the prime minister, the head of all officials.
In particular, the Thirteen Cao Cao under his jurisdiction almost included most of the responsibilities of the six ministers in later generations. For such an important position, it is not too much to fill the Thirteen Cao Cao with a few members of the Wang family.
Of course, a few people are stupid, and usually there are too many people.
For example, the often-mentioned Erdong Cao: the main officer removed two thousand stone chief officials, including military officials. It can be seen that all officials in the imperial court are appointed, dismissed, promoted and demoted through the prime minister's secretary.
Sanhucao: The main worshiper of Nongsang.
Si Zou Cao: Manage all the chapters of the government. It is slightly like the Privy Council in the Tang Dynasty and the General Administration Department in the Ming Dynasty.
Wucicao: Mainly litigation, which belongs to the civil part of the law.
It can be seen from the "Thirteen Cao" that the government affairs of the country are centralized to the prime minister, rather than to the king.
In fact, the prime minister at that time was not only responsible for the administrative affairs of the country, but also managed the appointment, rewards and punishments of officials, and sometimes participated in the command and planning of military operations. The Prime Minister's Office is now the largest organ of the central government.
Therefore, as long as the prime minister's position is taken down and some background is added, it is easy to create a general trend. This will also be the source of the power of the prime minister and prime minister in the future battle between imperial power and prime minister power.
This is one of the important reasons why Yang Gan wants to get rid of them. The position of prime minister cannot be taken by himself, because Yang Gan has lived in the border area for a long time.
At this time, power is at its peak. If he takes the position of prime minister again, not only the people in the court will be shaken, but even the king will feel that he is a threat.
Therefore, Yang Qian never interfered in Chaoxian's affairs.
But ~ not intervening does not mean that such an important position can fall into the hands of powerful people. My cheap dad is a shrewd person.
He was fighting with the opponent from a distance. If he was a little smarter, he would definitely be able to control the position of prime minister.
In the court, not only did the Wang family fight with the Xie family, but some people from the Wang family branch were also dealt with.
At the beginning, it was just the mistakes of one or two small officials. Unexpectedly, after following the clues, the involvement became bigger and bigger.
It is a pity that the head family of the Wang family seems to have forgotten that the head family and the branch family are one, and sometimes they are interdependent in terms of power.
When he learned that their separated family dared to assassinate the legitimate son of his master, Wang Xu went crazy.
When Wang Lin learned that his son was dead, he went crazy.
The Wang family in the entire court almost turned into mad dogs, and they would kill all the people who were separated from the family.
After receiving the letter, he turned around and caught up with the Xie family. Unfortunately, the power of the separate family was defeated.
The Xie family has actually expanded its power in a quiet period of time, and has the ability to compete with the Wang family.
When his own side was biting, the king felt particularly happy. If it weren't for his poor health, he might have drank to celebrate.
After a lifetime of being oppressed by a powerful family, I finally have an outlet.
Maybe it was because the authorities were obsessed with it, but the onlookers knew that the king was not slow in his actions, and he took over the rights in the vacuum area without any effort.
Originally, everyone had a tacit understanding that it would be okay to fight in court, but unfortunately, these branch families all had issues with the main family.
Especially the heads of the royal family with explosive martial arts, when they learned that Chaoxian's influence had been uprooted, their heirs were almost either beheaded or died for no reason.
At this time, their hearts were already dead, and more than a dozen branch families gathered from various places.
Because it was a spur-of-the-moment idea, Anzi didn't have time to send the message back.
After hundreds of masters sneaked into the Wang family's mansion through various means.
A bloody battle broke out.
It can be seen from the equipment of the people coming from the Wang family branch that these people did not do it temporarily, but prepared for a long time. Of course, it is hard to say for whom they prepared it.
The assassination of Tianshousi affected a wide range of people. Almost every person who died was the legitimate son of the branch or the leader of this generation.
This has almost stabbed the lungs of each branch of the royal family. Their next generation will either have no successors, or the number of people will be very small, or even some branches will simply die out.
An hour later.
There were originally nearly a thousand warriors, but now there were only three to five hundred left, and almost half of them were wiped out.
In the entire Wang Family Mansion, there was almost a river of blood. Broken limbs and remains were scattered all over the floor. In addition, the light was dim. If you were not careful, you would slip on the blood on the ground, or step on a broken arm, or someone would be disemboweled. The intestines of the unlucky guy.
Often, when they were injured by one person and were exhausted, four or five long swords would pierce their bodies. With a slight stroke, their entire stomach would be cut open, and their internal organs would flow all over the floor.
These people from separate families are not fools. They must wear light armor when they come. Unfortunately, the bronze swords of Xia Kingdom are completely different from those of other vassal states.
The smelting water in the Xia Kingdom was high, and the bronze swords cast were thin and long, very suitable for stabbing, which meant they had strong armor-piercing capabilities.
Although many branches of the Wang family had the upper hand at the beginning, if they were stabbed by two or three people at the same time, no matter how skilled they were in martial arts, their bodies would not be able to withstand it.
At this time, they were killing people like crazy. They would kill anyone they saw, no matter who they were. They would light a house on fire as soon as they saw it. The anger that had been oppressed for decades burst out in an instant with the death of their heirs.
Originally, the Wang family had many branches. Unfortunately, after learning that the head of the Wang family treated the branches in this way, many branches chose not to help each other, which invisibly weakened the appeal of the main family.
There are even some separated families who are eager to make both of them lose so that they can profit from it.
However, these people were killing everywhere in the mansion. At the beginning, they killed many people, including some concubines and concubines of the head of the Wang family, but as they continued to penetrate deeper.
The strange thing is that some of the wing rooms and courtyards are well decorated, but there is no one there.
Just when everyone was puzzled, torches rose from the wall, illuminating the courtyard where these people were standing like daylight.
