This Jinyiwei is obviously super strong but draws too much

Chapter 1084 Chapter of Unity

Time flies, and five years have passed in the blink of an eye.

After the new emperor ascended the throne, the court quickly returned to stability, except for the initial fluctuations caused by the rebel forces in the north and south.

Originally, the ministers were worried about the new emperor. After all, everyone knew what kind of virtue this emperor had when he was in the Imperial Guard.

So at the beginning, everyone couldn't help but worry. After all, there was once Meng Yuan who could take care of him, but now, he is the master of the world, who dares to take care of him.

However, after the new emperor came to the throne, the court was somewhat unexpectedly stable. Luo Fuzi, Lu Shangshu and others were in charge of the overall situation. The new emperor did not care about the power of the court and basically decentralized it. The court officials had never been like this before. When you feel comfortable.

But after feeling comfortable, everyone was inevitably a little worried. It is true that most of the administrative power of the court was decentralized, but the military power was still in the hands of the new emperor from beginning to end.

And sure enough, just five years after the new emperor took power, His Majesty gave everyone a mess.

There is only one queen in the new emperor's harem, the former Princess Yongle. The queen gave birth to a princess and a prince to the royal family in five years.

But even so, some courtiers still felt that the emperor was not having enough heirs, and hoped that your majesty would choose good men to fill the harem. At first, your majesty refused. At that time, the queen only gave birth to a princess. Later, a little prince was also born. Some people were dissatisfied. The old matter was brought up again, but the emperor unexpectedly agreed.

However, the plan given by the emperor was somewhat surprising. His Majesty planned to imitate the late emperor and accept women from aristocratic families into the palace.

This made the aristocratic family very happy. I thought that the emperor had a deep grudge against them, but I didn't expect that this majesty would still follow the old path of the previous one, wanting to use the aristocratic family to balance the court.

As soon as this incident came out, the court was in an uproar. Countless ministers came to Lu Shangshu's house, hoping to persuade him to take back his life. After all, they came to the court to oppose the family. Now the new emperor has followed the old emperor's path. How can it be? It's not all work in vain.

Compared with the worried courtiers, the people of the aristocratic families were overjoyed. Seeing that the emperor finally relented, they hurriedly began to show their goodwill, and each family selected girls of suitable age to send to the palace.

And at this juncture, Ying Wushang, who had been promoted to the commander of the Imperial Guard at a rocket speed, suddenly led people to break into the Wang family's house in the capital and "searched out" a group of assassins who wanted to murder the emperor.

The whole world was in an uproar. No one was a fool. When the emperor already wanted to pursue peace, it was absolutely impossible for the family to destroy the Great Wall. However, with the wealth and energy of the Wang family, they wanted to blame them for such a fatal thing. It's also very difficult.

As a result, there is only one possible outcome, which is Jin Yiwei's self-directed and self-acted act. They once again used their unique skills to frame the situation.

Who Ying Wushang is is known to everyone in the world. Meng Yuan is the emperor's right-hand man, Lu Hanjiang is the emperor's butcher's knife, Wu Qiming is the emperor's eyes, and he, Ying Wushang, is the emperor's most loyal hawk and dog. .

This commander was neither greedy for power nor greedy for money. He took both public and private matters indifferently and followed the emperor's instructions wholeheartedly. Therefore, he would never be able to make arbitrary decisions against the Wang family.

The person behind this drama can be seen by everyone - the emperor is going to take action against the family.

The emperor had a bad impression of the family, so it was only a matter of time before he took action. No one was surprised by this. What surprised everyone was that the emperor's methods were so simple and rude.

The influence of the aristocratic family on the imperial court was so great that the imperial court wanted to take action but was hindered by everything. The reason was that no matter how it was done, it would never gain a good reputation in the end. Once it was done, both sides would lose.

The biggest embarrassment of the imperial court is that the family is slippery, and if it cannot grasp the handle, it cannot take action legitimately. If the teacher is unknown, the reputation of the emperor who makes the decision will be criticized.

Normally speaking, as the emperor, the emperor only cares about two things, power and reputation. However, two accidents happened to the court in succession. Before and after the late emperor indulged in cultivating immortals, he was not a person who cared much about reputation.

And the new emperor is even more outrageous. He seems to have never cared about such things as face. This time he plotted against the aristocratic family. His plan was simple and crude, and he just had to slap him with his arm.

When an emperor doesn't even care about his reputation, the threat he can pose is absolutely terrifying.

The Jin Yiwei received a big case for the first time in a long time. The Wang family was convicted of treason. The emperor's imperial decree was given to the commander Ying Wushang in one step, asking him to lead his troops to ransack the house.

The courtiers were simply stunned. Although they hoped that the emperor would not let the family go, absolutely no one wanted the emperor to use such strong methods to do this, because it would cause great chaos.

"Taifu! Please advise Your Majesty. If this continues, the world will be in chaos." A cabinet minister said worriedly.

Three years ago, Mr. Wei Ge resigned from office and went into seclusion. The position of Mr. Wei Ge was vacant. The emperor did not give instructions, but Luo Fuzi, who had been promoted to Taifu, was appointed to lead the cabinet on his behalf.

Listening to everyone's worries, Luo Fuzi's eyes were dark, but he didn't reply. Just when everyone was worried about the future, Lu Shangshu hurried in from the door.

"Master, the latest news." Lu Shangshu took the newspaper. Luo Fuzi opened it after taking it. Everyone immediately gathered around to see what was going on.

The content of the Di newspaper was undoubtedly astonishing. The chaos in the world that the ministers thought was not coming. Instead, aristocratic families from all over the country began to write letters begging for the emperor's forgiveness.

"This" the courtier who spoke first turned pale and red, and he said calmly: "How could it be like this? Do they dare not resist?"

Luo Fuzi read the newspaper of the residence twice, and then said calmly: "Don't be surprised, the world has changed. Those people have heard about the cruelty of His Majesty's methods today. Since Your Majesty is desperate to fight, it is early." I was prepared to do whatever it took. Those people were afraid of death, so it was only to be expected that they would act like this."

Not all aristocratic families are weak, there are many among them who are not afraid of death, but they don't want to see meaningless bloodshed.

During the reign of the late emperor, the aristocratic family and the imperial court were at odds with each other. The reason why the aristocratic family had the confidence to resist was because they saw clearly that the emperor did not intend to completely fall out. They were arrogant that the emperor believed in the art of checks and balances and would not kill them all.

Although judging from the results, they were blind last time. If the matter of immortality had not obscured the emperor's eyes, the family would have been a thing of the past.

But this time they saw clearly that the new emperor really had no intention of joking with them at all, and he was just going to kill him when he came up.

Ying Wushang was born in a gangland, and his reputation was not prominent in his early years. The few times he made his reputation outside were by raiding homes and killing people. He was a person who "didn't know the importance". If he did it, the Wang family could survive as much as a dog. He was merciful.

Because he knew that the emperor would not hold back because of his reputation, nor would he shrink back because he was worried that both sides would suffer losses, so the family was really panicked, and it was not unusual for someone with lucky intentions to appear.

But the reason why almost most of the aristocratic families have this kind of ostrich idea is because of the contribution of another person, the vice president of the academy - Qi Yunzhou.

As someone who wanted to replicate the achievements of his master and determined to become the second Luo Yuanjing in the future, this time the emperor took action against the family. Although he had no official position and was not under the imperial court, he still rushed forward as a vanguard. to the front.

His approach was to lobby, and through his great prestige in Shilin and his sharp tongue, he gave the aristocratic family a long rope in the abyss.

Qi Yunzhou's eloquence is indeed excellent, but the entry point he chooses is equally critical. The family was shocked and angered by the emperor's cruelty, and had plans to burn everything down, but in the end, the desire for survival exceeded the calmness of death.

The appearance of Qi Yunzhou gave them a glimmer of hope, preventing this group of people from completely falling into despair and making a desperate move, but this was the most terrible thing.

Due to Qi Yunzhou's lobbying, divisions emerged within the family. The hard-liners who advocated resistance were quickly disintegrated. Another group of forces who believed that the emperor would eventually show mercy began to expand.

The most eye-catching among them is the Chen family. Ever since the Chen family was divided into three points, the direct descendants of the Chen family under the leadership of the eldest lady Chen Yin have not had an easy time, especially when the Jin Yiwei crossed the river and demolished the bridge too fast. They could not react in time. Abandoned son.

It stands to reason that people should not fall twice in the same place, but Chen Yin really has no better choice. There is a wolf in front of him and a tiger in the back. Cooperating with Jin Yiwei is extremely risky, but if he doesn't cooperate with them, he will be in trouble. It's going to be over soon.

Chen Yin had no choice but to ensure that the future of her direct lineage could still exist, rather than the possibility of killing the donkey in the future, so even though she knew that the emperor was going to be cruel to the family, she still chose to turn to the court.

The Wang family who ranked first in "Clan Chronicle" took a final bow, and stepped down in a tragic manner with a broken family. When this news came out, I don't know how many people sighed, how many people sighed, how many people were horrified, and how many people clapped their hands and applauded.

When the Jin Yiwei came out of the capital with the emperor's decree, there were signs of turmoil in the world. However, after Ying Wushang's thunderous methods bloodbathed the Wang family, the world became peaceful again.

Without him, the emperor's methods were too violent and cruel, which not only frightened those ambitious people.

At the same time, it also made the family realize in despair that once the emperor really fought regardless of everything, they would not be any more powerful than being able to become a gorgeous firework in the history books and hurt the emperor for a moment.

Strength cannot be used easily, because once it is used, it will be easily discovered by others. In fact, you are nothing more than that.

The aristocratic family is now in such an embarrassing situation. The Wang family, which seems to be world-famous and has influence all over the nine states, can't even move under the hands of Jin Yiwei.

The chaos expected by the court did not occur, and many officials began to realize that the family was not as powerful as they thought.

Of course, this was also due to the continuous efforts of the previous emperors, but the root cause was that the new emperor struck too hard and too fast, which not only deceived the aristocratic family, but also awakened all the officials in the court.

The fall of the Wang family also marked a signal that times had really changed, and the family that once shared the world with the royal court would soon become a thing of the past.

In the following period, the imperial court's long-planned plan began to be launched, and actions against countless aristocratic families in the world began to take place step by step.

Everyone in the family is in danger, but this has nothing to do with the new emperor. Although the palace is very lively today, it is not because of the family affairs, but because the eldest son of the emperor has turned three years old and it is time to choose a suitable teacher for his enlightenment.

This little prince is both the eldest son and the legitimate son. It can be said that he is basically the confirmed heir to the throne, so the choice of his teacher is naturally of great importance.

The emperor also expressed his intention to recruit talents from all over the world to educate the young prince, which in disguise gave Qi Yunzhou room to operate. The family has no shortage of talents, especially big talents, so many hard-liners have been dismantled. He began to think of ways to send people to the capital to hug the prince's lap and surround Wei to save Zhao.

But these are all small things. For the people in the palace, the biggest impact of the little prince's enlightenment this time does not come from outside, but from within the palace.

Aunt Axiu, who had served in the palace for many years, suddenly said goodbye. This made both the queen and the noble concubine panic. There was no other reason than that it was too sudden.

"Aunt Axiu, why are you leaving?" Yongle and the little prince each held one of Axiu's hands, both of them had expressions of reluctance.

Axiu looked at the mother and son with some confusion. Perhaps because the elders were still alive and the emperor himself was not very prominent, Yongle's temperament had almost no change after his identity change.

Even though she is a mother of two children, Yongle still behaves like a child, which often makes Axiu quite helpless.

"I am the same age as your mother and concubine. Do you think the queen still wants me to live in this palace for the rest of my life?" Axiu reached out and picked up the little prince, then poked him in the face and said to Yongle.

"But." Yongle lowered his head and muttered something that only she could hear. It was not that she was inconsiderate of Axiu, but she had been taken care of by him since she was a child. If he suddenly disappeared one day, she would have imagined it. Not until that day.

"Okay, if I have free time in the future, I will go back to the palace to visit the empress and the young highness." Axiu has decided to leave, and Yongle cannot force him to stay no matter how reluctant he is.In the end, Axiu left the palace under the reluctant eyes of the elder and the younger. After she left, she took the decree she got from the emperor and went directly to the Meng Mansion accompanied by Qiu Qingyun.

"Uncle Qiu is here, please come in quickly. My nephew has prepared the food and wine. Who is this?"

What greeted the two of them in the Meng Mansion was the current central figure of the Meng family, Meng Yuan's eldest son, Meng Jin. He naturally knew Qiu Qingyun. This was his father's friend. Not to mention this relationship, the other party was now He also holds a high position of power in the DPRK and is someone who needs to maintain good relations with.

But the other one looked a lot more unfamiliar. Judging from her appearance and dress, she seemed to be an unusual woman. After all, few women in the capital could go out with a sword.

Meng Jin quietly looked at the woman for a few times and then he took it seriously. The sword control in Beijing was very strict. Except for those with status, the rest were almost not allowed to wear weapons.

Unfortunately, Qiu Qingyun had no intention of introducing him. After a few words of greeting, he proposed his purpose of coming: "I'm here to see your father."

Meng Jin was a little embarrassed: "I have to report this to my mother. My father has made it clear that he will never see outsiders since he resigned."

Qiu Qingyun frowned, and just as he was about to go find someone directly, he was stopped by Axiu's eyes beside him, so he changed the subject: "Then I'll go see my sister-in-law first."

"Uncle please."

Meng Jin brought Qiu Qingyun to the main hall. When Liu saw Axiu, his eyes obviously changed a bit. Meng Jin was naturally aware of this, but before he could speak, he was asked to leave by his mother.

"Everyone else, please step aside, Jin'er, you also need to step down." Ms. Liu backed away the others. Although Meng Jin wanted to stay and listen, his mother's eyes made him a little timid, so he finally backed down obediently.

Qiu Qingyun looked at the two people and seemed to have something to say, so he said to himself: "In that case, I will go see Brother Meng first."

He didn't take Meng Jin's words to heart. Their elders were doing things, and it was not the junior's turn to speak. Mrs. Liu on the side bowed slightly and said nothing.

After Qiu Qingyun left, Mrs. Liu asked the other party to sit down: "Miss Axiu, please sit down."

As a foreigner, Meng Yuan would not be able to treat the palace as his own backyard, no matter how favored he was. Therefore, as his wife, Mrs. Liu naturally had to go to the palace for him to visit the imperial concubine. Of course she doesn't know Aunt Xiu.

"Girl, did you come here today to see the master?" Liu said straight to the point.

Axiu looked up at her and nodded: "Yes."

After a pause, she continued: "I heard that he had been living in seclusion for the past few years and was worried about his health, so she asked me to come."

"Girl, if you have something to say, you might as well say it directly. There is no need to use the imperial concubine as an excuse." Mrs. Liu interrupted her.

Axiu paused and looked a little hesitant. Liu smiled softly and said: "Marriage between aristocratic families has always been to marry high and marry low. The Liu family is ranked 61st in the "Clan Chronicle", far surpassing the Meng family in terms of power and means. So. Girl, do you think I don’t know what happened back then?”

A'Xiu's face changed slightly. She looked at Liu, whose expression was as calm as ever. After a moment of silence, she asked: "Since you have known this for a long time, why -?"

Madam Liu smiled and said in a rather cold tone: "A woman from an aristocratic family has always put her family first. I made the right bet on the Meng family. Now that the Meng family has gained His Majesty's attention, the Liu family has also benefited. I'll do it." The Meng family only wants to occupy the position of Mrs. Meng. As for how many confidantes the master has in his heart, I don't care."

"You" Axiu's face was a little complicated. She had thought about the treatment she would receive here today, and she was ready to endure it no matter how humiliated the other party was. But she didn't expect that she would get such an answer in the end.

After saying this, Mrs. Liu stood up and left: "The master is in the backyard, you can do what you want."

Axiu opened her mouth but said nothing. She turned around and went to the backyard. She saw a small courtyard located in the corner of the mansion, as if it had been forgotten.

Qiu Qingyun was in front of the courtyard gate, seemingly hesitating whether to go in. He turned around and saw Axiu, and said with a troubled face: "Miss Axiu, I just heard Brother Meng's voice at the door. He doesn't seem to want to see you."

boom!
Before he finished speaking, Axiu had already split the courtyard door open with his sword. Qiu Qingyun was stunned when he saw the other party walking straight in. He wanted to follow him, but unexpectedly the former hooked his foot and two wooden boards flew away. Come on, it got stuck directly on the cracked door frame.

"This" Qiu Qingyun was stunned for a moment, and then he saw Axiu turn around and glance at him lightly. He had no choice but to smile bitterly. Come on, it would be better for him to stay less involved in the affairs of the two of them.

Axiu walked to the yard with the sword in hand. When she looked up, she saw a sullen Meng Yuan sitting on a short stone bench. In front of him was a chessboard, which was the end of a game that had already been played for most of the game.

The movement outside the door made Meng Yuan look away from the chess game. He raised his head with a smile on his face: "Axiu."

Axiu frowned and looked at him, her eyes falling on the chessboard. Then with a flash of sword light, the chessboard shattered into pieces along with the stone table, causing Meng Yuan to stumble and fall to the ground.

"Your martial arts." Axiu's eyes were deep. After thinking for a moment, she stabbed out the sword in her hand.

Meng Yuan sat on the ground and didn't care at first, until he realized that the sword was going to kill him, so he had to strike out with a palm and duck sideways.

"I deserve to be like this, Ah Xiu, why do you care about me?" Meng Yuan said with a bitter smile.

"To shut up."

Axiu's eyes were cold, and she passed him into the back room with a flash of footsteps. Then she threw out an ordinary knife and fell directly into Meng Yuan's hand.

"Come."

After saying such a word, Axiu once again held his sword to kill. Meng Yuan had no choice but to accept the attack. It was shameful to say that although he was slumped to this point, he had no intention of dying. Even though he knew that he had no face to live, he still wanted to live. Go down.

The murderous intention was real when Ah Xiu took action, so Meng Yuan had no choice but to fight with all his strength.

"It turns out that you've been wasting your time like this these past few years."

Axiu sneered. Although Meng Yuan could only dodge awkwardly under her hand, she could see that the other party was already fighting with all his strength.

After a hundred moves, Meng Yuan was defeated and collapsed on the ground. The small courtyard that had been peaceful for many years became devastated.

Qiu Qingyun outside heard the noise inside and was so frightened that he wanted to go in several times, but he finally held back. The rest of the Meng family could not help but be alarmed. After all, the person staying here could be said to be the backbone of their Meng family, even if The other party has no official position, but he is still the most important person in the Meng family.

"Uncle, who is this woman you brought -" Meng Jin couldn't help but ask.

Qiu Qingyun just said calmly: "It has nothing to do with you."

Meng Jin was so angry that he was red-eyed for a moment. He was now the dignified head of the Meng family, but Qiu Qingyun still treated him as a junior in the audience, not even bothering to deal with him.

But even so, he didn't have the guts to refute anything. The other party's qualifications and status far exceeded him. Now he really can only be a junior. Otherwise, if he angered the other party, he would be the one who would suffer in the future. .

Fortunately, after a while, the movement in the small courtyard stopped. Qiu Qingyun hesitated for a moment, looked back at the anxious-looking Meng clan members who were surrounding him, thought for a moment and took a step forward, but just as he was about to go in, something inside The people came out. Meng Yuan was covered in injuries and looked miserable.

"Father!" When Meng Jin saw him, he quickly stepped forward to help him, but was stopped by Meng Yuan with a wave of his hand.

Then he looked at Qiu Qingyun angrily: "Uncle! I treat you as an elder, but the people you brought here treat my father like this. What's the truth!"

"To shut up!"

Qiu Qingyun and Meng Yuan said in unison, Meng Jin's face turned red and white, and finally retreated to the side in defeat under the majesty of his father and elders.

Qiu Qingyun stepped forward to help Meng Yuan, and then Axiu also came out. She looked a little worried while holding a sword, which showed that the Meng clan members were angry but dared not speak.

Meng Yuan looked back at Axiu and shook his head helplessly: "Prepare the carriage."

"Okay." Qiu Qingyun looked at him, and the stone in his heart was finally put down. Although Meng Yuan still looked depressed, the old age in his body had dissipated a lot. When he just taught Meng Jin a lesson, he also had a rare feeling. Share his temper back then.

"No need," Axiu stopped him, and then said coldly: "Just lead two horses. He is not old enough to travel by carriage yet."

"This" Qiu Qingyun was stunned for a moment, and then looking at Meng Yuan's helpless look, he laughed out loud, clasped his fists and left.

The rest of the Meng clan were signaled by Meng Yuan to stay. When he spoke, he was shocked: "I will be away from the capital for a while, so I will leave the family affairs to my wife and the young master to handle together."

"Old - Master?" Everyone was shocked. Who is Meng Yuan? Can he speak casually about leaving the capital? And doesn't this kind of thing need to be discussed with the person in the palace?
Axiu glanced over and saw Meng Jin who was shrinking his head and not daring to speak. He raised his eyebrows and threw something away. The latter picked it up in a daze: "Is this?"

"Imperial decree." Axiu continued Meng Yuan's rhythm, which was not surprising, and suddenly a large number of people outside the courtyard fell to their knees.

"You have even prepared this thing, and yet His Majesty lets you do whatever you want. Or is this Yongle's intention?" Meng Yuan looked at her with complicated eyes, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"Everyone is fine, it doesn't matter anymore - I originally planned to drag you away even if you don't want to leave." Axiu glanced at Meng Yuan, and there was a rare smile on his cold face. .

"You have always been so domineering. You are much better than me, but they can't see it." Meng Yuan sighed, looked up at the sky, and then walked through the crowd with Axiu as if there was no one around. Halfway through, he suddenly asked : "Where are we going?"

"Jianghu," Axiu paused and said, "When you are about to die, I will take you back to Beijing. I won't let you die in a foreign country."

Hearing this, Meng Yuan's expression was a little dazed, and then he came back to his senses and said softly: "There is no need to come back to the capital. You can go back wherever you came from. There is nothing wrong with being in the world. Just traveling together, you have to go back to the capital." To put it bluntly, if others ask, we are alone and alone—"

Clang!
Axiu's long sword was unsheathed with lightning, and Meng Yuan's beard lost a few strands in an instant. He was stunned for a moment, and then burst out laughing. The two of them came outside the house and rode away. No one said anything about looking back. if.
