After rebirth, I tortured the scum and strived to become the empress

Chapter 15 Siblings (Please collect and recommend!)

The Ruan family relied on the rich resources and population of Jiangyang County to raise more than 5 well-equipped and well-trained private soldiers.

In view of this, the royal family of Chen State, which had a weak army, tolerated this and tried to please him in every possible way.

As a result, the Ruan family became more domineering, self-important, and lawless!
When the Wei army came to fight, the Ruan family relied on [-] family private soldiers to negotiate terms with the Emperor Wei.

Not only did the Emperor of Great Wei recognize all the interests of the Ruan family in Jiangyang County, but he refused to appoint officials from the Great Wei,

It is required that the prefect of Jiangyang County should still be held by the Ruan family, and the current structure of Jiangyang County should remain unchanged.

He even disagrees with reducing the family's private army. Of course, he will not hand over the copper and iron mines he owns.
It is even more delusional to retain the right to mint coins and cast iron, and to highlight the fact that they are so stubborn that they want to completely retain the power of the family.

At the same time, he threatened Emperor Shao Wu: If he did not agree to the conditions of the Ruan family, he would act as a private soldier of the family and "help Chen destroy Wei".

And he really sent the family's private soldiers to the city wall to confront the Wei army across the wall.

Who is Emperor Shao Wu, he is the founding emperor of the country, and he can accept the outrageous demands of the Ruan family, a country within a country?
In the Great Wei Dynasty, the emperor's own son did not have such great power in the local area!

Fifty thousand private soldiers, but also independent rights to mint coins and set up furnaces to smelt iron.

This is why he wants to be the king of the Wei Dynasty!Who is the Ruan family!
Therefore, Emperor Shao Wu was furious when he saw the Ruan family's surrender conditions, and ordered the Wei army to destroy the Ruan family at all costs, and would never accept their surrender.

That's why the Ruan family became Chen Guo's "loyal ministers", and no one in the whole family "voted to Wei".

Of course, Shen Qingjun, who had been a queen, could see clearly: in fact, what really prompted Emperor Shao Wu to destroy the Ruan family was that they were "too greedy".
Think of Da Wei as Da Chen, and if you can't bargain with the emperor, you threaten him with force, but take action when the key is important.
This kind of behavior must be severely suppressed, so as to kill chickens and monkeys.

You know, since the Great Qian wiped out the country, the world has been divided, and during the chaotic time of more than 300 years, various forces have appeared on the stage.

Aristocratic families have been raising clan troops one after another, and building forts for self-defense has long been the norm.

Taking the Shen family as an example, the Black Armored Army was the personal branch of Liang Guogong Shen Pingnan. If the emperor wanted to mobilize the Black Armored Army, he had to go through Shen Pingnan.

It can be said that among the six founding princes of the Great Wei Dynasty, which one does not have its own private army?
Even the original noble families of the Chen state who surrendered, such as the Wang family and the Xiao family, now have a large number of tribal private soldiers.

Aren’t they living a good life in Da Wei?Emperor Shao Wu still needs marriage to appease them!

Even the Royal Guards of more than 20 people were originally from family tribes.

It can be said that during the 300 years of chaos, raising clan soldiers is what every powerful clan would do.

And it has become a tradition that even the emperor cannot put an end to or stop.

Then why was the Ruan family destroyed?
Because the Ruan family is ignorant, because the Ruan family is too greedy.

As the defeated party, of course, there is no loss of profits.

The surrender of the Wang family and the Xiao family also reduced a large number of tribes and soldiers, gave up at least [-]% of the family's fields, and "rewarded" the Wei army with food and cloth.

Accept the officials sent by Emperor Shaowu and release part of the family's mining industry.

See it!This is the attitude that a defeated person should have, like the Ruan family,

I'm afraid that even Emperor Shaowu couldn't figure out what kind of conditions they put on their faces.

Of course, there is nothing wrong with wanting to preserve family power, but what about a big family that doesn’t want to?This is human nature.

The real reason for the annihilation of the entire Ruan family was that they sent their own soldiers to the city to confront the Wei army.

This is too taboo against the emperor, and he must be killed as an example!

For such a bold and wild family,
Emperor Shao Wu's methods were not ruthless, and their fate was not miserable. What should the big families do if they follow suit?
You know, every big family has its own tribe of soldiers.
If everyone talks to the emperor like this, if the emperor doesn't accept it, he will come to Bingfeng to threaten him.
Did the emperor have a peaceful life?Send troops every day to quell the rebellion!
The nature of the Ruan family, from the moment they sent their trilogy to the city wall, was almost the same as a rebellion.

If you rebel, you will destroy the three tribes, and no one else will ask for mercy.

Otherwise, what do you want the emperor to think about the purpose of your intercession?
So after I learned the reason why the Ruan family was destroyed from my father,
I don't intend to help the siblings recover their identities, it's good that they are allowed to live.

That's right, their identity as orphans of the Ruan family is in Da Wei, and anyone with a bit of power knows about it.

Emperor Shaowu must have known about it, but the emperor didn't pursue it, so no one would be troublesome.

So after she came back, she told Xiao Han exactly what had happened, and persuaded Xiao Han to give up that idea.

It's a pity that he didn't believe what she said, and only thought that it was Emperor Shao Wu's excuse for wanting to destroy the Ruan family.

She even suspected that she wanted to suppress Ruan Qingqing's fabricated lies—just to block his beloved's way to get married!
Oh, it's also her fault that she was obsessed with ghosts in her previous life, and she actually thought that he was showing his love and righteousness.

If he really valued love and justice, why did he keep silent about restoring their identities after learning the reason for the destruction of the Ruan family?

He felt that this "fact" was made up by himself, so why not find out the "truth"?

In the final analysis, it's just greed for life and fear of death.

His affection and righteousness can only exist when his interests are not threatened!
Shen Qingjun was thinking about all kinds of things in his previous life, so he couldn't help but stare at the two of them.
Seeing the two of them, they felt uncomfortable, they were not stable on the chair, they wanted to twist and move,
But he remembered Shu Qi's instructions and tried his best to maintain the demeanor of a member of a big family.

After a while, Ruan Qingqing couldn't stand being stared at anymore.

Because Shen Qingjun only looked at her brother once at the beginning, and stared at her most of the rest of the time,
Staring at her makes her scalp tingle!
"Sister-in-law, is there something wrong with my little sister? Why are you looking at me like this?"

"Sorry, I was lost in thought just now." Hearing Ruan Qingqing's words, Shen Qingjun withdrew his contemplative memory.

Everything in the previous life has passed, this life will be different, don’t think about it too much.

"Cousin Ruan and his brother have been here in Xiao Mansion for half a year. How are they living there? Are the servants taking good care of them?"

Talking about servants, she remembered again that the four maids of Qin, chess, calligraphy and painting around her, namely: Baoqin, Fuyin, calligraphy and painting, of course, it seems that only calligraphy and painting are by her side now. Two maids.

The four of Xiao and Han had to use long pens, which happened to be called: Hu pen, Hui ink, rice paper, and Duan inkstone.

'The two even match the servant's name!It is full of book fragrance. '

"My sister-in-law is concerned, everything is fine, and everyone in the house is very attentive."

"Well, the Ruan family is a scholarly family, what books has my cousin read?

Also, my younger brother is only in his twilight years, does he have plans to go to school, and would like to worship that famous teacher? "
