The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 585
The Wang family sent Wang Gui away. Wang Chongji was smart and pre-emptively dealt with Wang Gui's affairs to show his status as the eldest son. After Wang Gui was buried, he took over the Wang family's business. People, the cleaning has started.

Although Wang Chongji had been serving by Wang Gui's side before, it didn't mean he didn't know what was going on in the palace. When Wang Gui was sick and Wang Chongji was serving him with his clothes on, many servants in the palace were close to Wang Jingzhi, thinking that Wang Jingzhi As the captain's son-in-law and with much more power than Wang Chongji, he must be the best candidate for the head of the Wang family.

It is precisely because of this that, as soon as Wang Chongji took over the Wang family, he began to eliminate these servants who had two hearts towards him.

The last person Wang Gui saw before his death was Xuan Shijing. No one knew what Wang Gui said to Xuan Shijing before he died, nor who Wang Gui would give the seat of Patriarch to. The candidate is still a mystery in everyone's mind.

Originally, Wang Chongji, as the eldest son of the palace, should inherit the family business as the head of the family, but compared to Wang Jingzhi, Wang Chongji's power is really weak and pitiful, so even the servants of the palace can't afford it. Not optimistic about Wang Chongji.

After all, Wang Jingzhi is still the son-in-law of today's emperor and the son-in-law of Princess Nanping.

It's just that Xuan Shijing's appearance and Wang Jingzhi's own death in building such a house in Buzhengfang gave Wang Chongji a chance to stand up.

In the inner courtyard of the Wang family, all the servants of the Wangfu are gathered in this courtyard, and on the steps of the courtyard, standing is Wang Chongji, and standing beside Wang Chongji is the butler of the Wangfu.

The steward of the palace was originally Wang Gui's confidant, but now that Wang Gui passed away, the steward naturally followed Wang Chongji's side. Just from Wang Chongji's performance when Wang Gui was seriously ill, the steward would not abandon Wang Chongji and go to defection. Wang Jing went straight.

And today Wang Chongji summoned everyone here to drive out those people who had two hearts for him and defected to Wang Jingzhi before, from the palace. Otherwise, these people will always exist in the palace, and Wang Chongji has no way to be this family. .

Just when Wang Chongji was about to announce his decision, he saw Wang Jingzhi leading two people into the courtyard with a smile on his face.

"Ha, I'm really complete today. It just so happens that I have something to announce." Wang Jing ignored Wang Chongji's own eyes looking at the box, walked up to Wang Chongji and stood still.

"The purpose of calling the people in the mansion for my brother today is to rectify the atmosphere in the mansion, and weed out the servants who have dislikes to the Wang family. I don't know why the second brother is here at this time?" After Wang Chongji finished speaking, he turned his head and looked at Wang Chongji. Wang Jingzhi.

"Eliminate those who have second thoughts about my Wang family? Eldest brother really has a big tone." Wang Jing said with a smile: "It is obvious to all the people present how they treat my Wang family. Now elder brother wants to cling to others. It's against the rules."

"Rules?" Wang Chongji smiled: "Second brother is talking about rules with brother Wei? If the master wants to drive away the servants, is it possible that he still has to take care of the rules? Where did he say that?"

Wang Chongji also thought it was funny, the people he wanted to drive away now belonged to Wang Jingzhi, that's why Wang Jingzhi jumped out in such a hurry.

"Looking at your attitude, big brother, there are probably quite a few people who are going to pack up and leave today. With so many changes in personnel, how can big brother be able to make decisions by himself? Could it be that big brother, you really put yourself Can't you be the head of the Wang family?" Wang Jing sneered.

Finally got to the point.
Wang Chongji sneered: "Now that my father has passed away, as the eldest son of the palace, it is logical to take over the affairs of the palace. I don't know the second brother, what's your opinion?"

Taking over all the affairs of the palace, naturally, also includes the seat of the head of the Wang family.

"It's nothing to think about it, but it's just that elder brother disregarded his father's last wish and acted like a walker, isn't it a little bit too much?" Wang Jing said nonchalantly.

"Father's last wish? Yuezu to take over? Hahahaha." Wang Chongji laughed in Wenyan, "Could it be that the second brother means that before his father died, he passed on the position of the head of the family to you?" After finishing speaking, his face became serious instantly He got up: "As we all know, before his death, my father never told anyone who he would pass on to the Patriarch. The last person my father saw was Xuanhou!"

"Father didn't say anything when he saw Xuanhou before he died, but it doesn't mean he didn't say it before." Wang Jingzhi always had a smile on his face: "Brother doesn't always accompany father, for example, when he went out to find Dongshanhou. .”

"What do you mean?" Wang Chongji looked at Wang Jingzhi with an unkind expression.

Wang Jingzhi didn't speak, just took out a handwritten book from his bosom, unfolded it, and presented it in front of Wang Chongji.

This handwriting was not written by Wang Gui himself, but at the end of the handwriting, there is indeed Wang Gui's big seal.

"This handwritten letter is very clear. Before my father died, he passed on the position of Patriarch to me." Wang Jing looked at Wang Chongji and swore his sovereignty word by word.

"This handwriting is not my father's handwriting." Wang Chongji retorted.

"Haha, it's a joke. At that time, my father was seriously ill and was bedridden. How could I have the strength to write? The content on it was written by my father himself, and was written by someone else, and then my father's seal was stamped on it. No big brother doesn’t want to obey?”

Wang Jingzhi immediately gave Wang Chongji a big hat, not to mention whether the meaning in the handwriting was Wang Gui's will, which is already unknown. If Wang Chongji could not prove that the handwriting was not Wang Gui's intention, but did not To obey is to be unfilial.

This crime is not small, if it is confirmed, Wang Chongji will never be able to hold his head up again in the circle of Chang'an City, even the Taiyuan Wang family will not tolerate an unfilial person in the family.

"Whether this is what my father meant, I'm afraid it still needs to be verified." Wang Chongji said: "I have heard people say that you entered father's room at that time and drove out all the servants in the original room. There are only the second brother and the father in the room. Where did the servant come from to write it? It can be seen that this handwriting was prepared by the second brother a long time ago. Now I suspect that the father was coerced by you at that time. Only then will the great seal be stamped, or, this seal is simply stamped by you yourself."

What Wang Chongji said hit Wang Jingzhi's heart every word. Wang Jingzhi knew that what Wang Chongji said was the truth, but no matter what, he couldn't admit it.

"Hmph, no matter what you say, big brother, this handwriting is indeed in front of you now. There is no doubt about the choice of the head of the Wang family!" Wang Jingzhi's words were firm.
