back to ancient times to be emperor

Chapter 196 Ambitious
The person who spoke was not tall, he was born fair and clean, and he spoke in a refined manner. He looked more like a scholar.But I didn't expect this person to speak so "reactionary", and he wanted to raise the flag to rebel.

Wang Yuanfeng, who had spoken earlier, was taken aback by his words, and quickly said: "Wang Shi, you lunatic, you want to kill yourself, don't drag the Wang family down! This Dashun imperial army is easy to provoke, let's not talk about it not long ago We beat up the invading Khitans, even if we send out some auxiliary soldiers, you and I can't afford to go around!"

Wang Shi sneered, and said: "That's Dashun's luck, did you do it right? As far as I know, the Dashun Imperial Army has been corrupted to the point of disrepute. Compared with those Xiang Army, it's no different. Such an imperial army, I only need [-] armored men to defeat them! Patriarch, without delay, please let me lead the family soldiers to fight, so that the little emperor of Dashun can see that our family is not easy to mess with !"

Wang Yuanfeng said anxiously: "Patriarch, you can't agree to him, he is a lunatic, he will put the Wang family into a desperate situation! Listen to me, the little emperor doesn't have much murderous intentions in his heart, as long as he takes the blame, everything will be easy to deal with! Aristocratic family It's not just the Wang family, the little emperor is also afraid of it. The reason why the Wang family was attacked is because of the truth. If the little emperor is given a step down, the little emperor will not be able to kill them all. The rest of the family will watch from the sidelines. The emperor has gone too far, what do other families think? The little emperor cannot be unscrupulous, Patriarch, you have to trust me!"

Wang Shi sneered, and said: "False, if the little emperor is afraid, why would he send troops? We should control our own destiny, how can we hand it over to others? Patriarch, if you don't make a severance, I'm afraid it will be too late!"

Wang Yuanshi was also hesitant at the moment, he would not be reconciled to pleading guilty, but he would not dare to raise the flag of rebellion.Wenzong's remaining prestige is still there, and the strength of the forbidden army is still there yesterday.The previous battle in Youzhou had frightened him even more.

At this time, an old man said slowly: "Why don't you let Wang Hu lead the soldiers to test the strength of the imperial army?"

Wang Yuanshi's eyes lit up, but when he saw the speaker, his eyes quickly dimmed again.This man is his cousin, called Wang Shizong, who has always been at odds with him.The struggle in the big family is no less than that of the royal family.Fortunately, there were not many emperors in Dashun, so the scourge of royal disputes was avoided.

And who is Wang Hu in Wang Shizong's mouth?It turned out that this Wang Hu was the adopted son of Wang Yuanshi, and he had no father or mother since he was a child, so he adopted him as his adopted son.Wang Hu has the strength of three stones in both arms, can draw a hard bow, and makes a good spear and stick in one hand.The most important thing is that this person is loyal to Wang Yuanshi, and he has won Wang Yuanshi's trust. He entrusted him with all the work of selling illegal salt, and there is quite a lot of complaints among the Wang family.

But Wang Hu is a fierce tiger, who dares to say that he is not?The Wang family's armed forces selling private salt only slowly formed a scale after Wang Hu came into existence.Wang Hu is too fierce, and everyone on the road will sell him three points of face.If the official salt and private salt are sold together, can the Wang family not make money?

The idea is good, but when Wang Shizong said it, Wang Yuanshi had to think carefully.Wang Shizong had previously robbed him of the position of Patriarch and failed with a small number of votes. He had long buried his hatred in his heart. Who knows if he just said that because he wanted to deceive himself?
Wang Yuanfeng became anxious, and said: "Patriarch, no! The little emperor is not a vegetarian, so he must be able to see such an obvious temptation. It's better to apologize, at least it can save thousands of lives in the Wang family!"

Wang Yuanshi was hesitant, Wang Shi couldn't stand it anymore, and felt extremely contemptuous in his heart.He was originally an ambitious man who believed in the Manichaeism that came from Persia. He was a true fanatic, and he believed in "princes, generals, and ministers would rather have a seed" in his blood.There are people like this no matter what era you live in.They are afraid that the world will not be chaotic, and spread extremist ideas everywhere.At this time, most of the people were ignorant and ignorant, and the king really pulled up a team of many people to believe in Manichaeism.

However, when the time is short, Wang Shi's strength is not very strong, and there are not many believers. Most of them are poor people who can't survive. To save money, to save money, and to practice mutual aid among believers, they started to believe in Manichaeism, just for one bite of food.

The king is always thinking about how to use the Manichaeism to seize power, but at the moment he is still weak, and most of the people in the religion are old, weak, sick and disabled.In this way, it is natural to rely on other forces.He came from a distant family of the Wang family in Taiyuan, and he was not a direct relative. By chance, he became a member of Wang Yuanshi's staff, so he could be regarded as a person who could talk in the Wang family.Seeing that the opportunity is rare at this time, get up and fan the flames.

Unexpectedly, Wang Yuanshi looked forward and backward, and had a lot of worries, so he couldn't stand it anymore, and said loudly: "Since the Patriarch dare not send Wang Hu, so what if I lead the family soldiers to attack? My trip is personal, and has nothing to do with the Wang family. What does the Patriarch think?" ?”

When Wang Yuanshi heard it, his eyes lit up: "Yes, Wang Hu is not from the blood of my Wang family. You can send him out to test it out! If it is true that the forbidden army is vulnerable to a single blow as Wang Shi said, don't I have a chance? Become a great treasure?" Thinking of this, Wang Yuanshi's breathing began to quicken, and his heart beat faster and faster.He was over sixty years old, and his original ambition was not so big.But Wang Shi repeatedly fanned the flames, and couldn't understand what the Lu family did. With jealousy burning in his heart, and his interests dazzled his head, he made a decision that he regretted deeply: "Wang Shi is right. Let Wang Hu take the family soldiers to fight and see if the forbidden army is like the Xiang army. If we win, we have a bargaining chip to talk to the little emperor; if we lose, we will rely on the salt bandits. Dry?"

Wang Yuanfeng stared blankly at Wang Yuanshi's wrinkled face, and wanted to argue, but was stopped by Wang Shizong beside him.He sighed slightly in his heart, he was not the head of the family, but he was invited to hold this family meeting only because he was more knowledgeable.Now watching the Wang family slip into the abyss, he has nothing to do. If he knew that he would not have come, out of sight, out of mind.

Wang Yuanfeng said suddenly: "By the way, from now on, the palace is completely sealed off, and people are only allowed to enter but not to leave. Anyway, the food in the palace is enough to last for half a year, and there is no risk of running out of food. I feel wronged that you have stayed in the palace for a while, and I will wait until the imperial army retreats. Naturally, there are generous gifts!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Shi had an imperceptible sneer on the corner of his mouth.But Wang Yuanfeng has been staring at him, and he has seen his every move in his eyes, and he is very puzzled: "What is the origin of this king, and he is so deliberately trying to frame the Wang family? No, I have to tell the head of the family quietly. , can’t do this, it’s just asking for a dead end…”

Thinking of this, Wang Yuanfeng looked at Wang Yuanshi's leaving back and secretly made up his mind.When he walked past Wang Shi, he heard Wang Shi say in a voice that only he could hear: "You old boy, you almost ruined my good deed! You'd better restrain yourself, or I will commit crimes in my hands. You would rather die than live!"

Wang Yuanfeng retorted and said: "Which dog is barking, how come I don't think it's from the Wang family?" This sentence was very vicious, and he secretly called Wang a bastard, so angry that Wang's face turned blue and white.
