Wentang

Chapter 577
"You should know better than anyone else that this kind of thing would be avoided even by Zaifu. If I hadn't been accidentally involved by you... I would never have interfered." Wang Gui shook his head and said:
"It's useless to beg me, the decision is in the hands of the sage. You can satisfy him. It is impossible to protect the family. It is still somewhat certain to leave a bloodline that will not be cut off by the priests of the Wei family."

When the critical moment came, Wei Damao put down his chopsticks and fell into thinking.

Wang Gui surrendered his identity to come to prison, and Wei Damao cried and laughed, all for a purpose.

Wang Gui hoped to persuade Wei Damao to do all the tricks, and even to please the emperor, he could even bite some people a little bit, so that he could clear the ties and not be implicated.

Wei Damao hopes to use his confession to keep as much hope as possible for the Wei family... This is a deal.

Now is the time for the two parties to negotiate terms.

"My second son Wei Meng has been studying hard behind closed doors, as long as you can preserve his lineage..."

"Impossible." Before he finished speaking, Wang Gui refused directly: "Don't talk about keeping the same line, even if you have children raised in the house, you can't keep any of them. At most..."

"You raised an outhouse in Yuhua Lane and an 11-year-old son. I can erase their relationship with you and let them live like this for the rest of their lives."

If it was usually mentioned about concubine and illegitimate child, he would definitely jump, but today he is very calm: "Does it have to be like this?"

"That's the only way." Wang Gui said in a non-negotiable manner.

"Okay, I promise you. But I want you to send them away, the farther the better." Wei Damao said.

"Xinma Island, you should have heard of the name. The imperial court is going to immigrate to the island, and I will send them to this island." Wang Gui thought for a while.

"Is it overseas? That's fine. If you stay away from the Central Plains, you will be less concerned about it. Just Xinma Island." Wei Damao said slowly.

As for why this concubine and illegitimate child should be kept, the reason is very simple, it was not included in the genealogy.

The two parties didn't say how much money they should bring to the concubine and the illegitimate child, to ensure that they live and work in peace and contentment, which is meaningless.

At this time, Wei Damao could only believe that Wang Gui would miss the last trace of his old love and give them a good arrangement.

Then the two fell silent, the transaction was over, and there was really nothing to say.Reminisce?Hehe, I can't wait for the other party to die, there is nothing old to talk about.

"I'm leaving." Wang Gui was uncomfortable and didn't want to stay any longer, so he got up and said.

Wei Damao didn't know what he was thinking, so he ignored him.

Walking to the door, Wang Gui looked back at the old friend's back, and saw the hunched body with messy white hair... His mood was very complicated, and he didn't know what he was thinking. He said something mysteriously: "Go all the way it is good."

Wei Damao froze, and wanted to turn his head to say something to Wang Gui, but suddenly stopped as if turning around, and just waved his hand to show that he heard it.

Wang Gui nodded and turned to leave.

"Ah!!!!" Just a few steps away, a heart-piercing roar sounded like a ghost horn from behind.He paused, sighed and strode away.

Afterwards, Guan Lijun brought people over for interrogation, and Wei Damao really knew everything, and poured out everything in one go.

Yong'an Palace, Zichen Palace.

Upon receiving this evidence, Li Shimin was overjoyed at first, and then almost exploded in anger: "Bastards, a bunch of bastards without a king or a father."

With a "snap" sound, Wei Damao's confession was thrown to the ground.

Fang Xuanling, Li Jing, Chen Shuda and the others watched with their eyes, no one dared to speak.

It was Gao Shilian who picked up the confession and read it. It was also shocking to see that the dozen or so names at the beginning were all descendants of famous families.

That's fine, after all, everyone knows that this matter was instigated by the aristocratic family.What is really unexpected is that the next thirty or so names are basically officials from poor families.

In order to combat the aristocratic Li Shimin's re-use of humble scholars since he ascended the throne, it is really chilling that so many officials from humble backgrounds are willing to be the lackeys of the aristocratic family and act as pioneers.

Gao Shilian did not return the confession to Li Shimin after reading it, but handed it to Chen Shuda beside him.He was also in a very bad mood and very angry.

Because his niece is the queen, he resigned from all his official positions and became a governor, because he was afraid that others would say that his relatives were the queens.But we are all like this, you have not just surpassed us, do you really think that there is no one in the party after our relatives?

So when the hen turned into a male just happened, he found an excuse to rush to the capital, and he just arrived the day before yesterday.

Li Shimin was given a moderate punishment for leaving his post without authorization, and then he was removed from his original post as governor.

And because of Du Ruhui's illness, he has been unable to do anything, and the Ministry of Officials has never had a chief official, so he was appointed as the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, so he returned to the ranks of the core officials of the dynasty.

Chen Shuda was also very angry after reading it, and then passed it on to the next person.

The confession finally came back to Li Shimin's table, and all the ministers felt heavy.

It's not because officials from humble backgrounds and aristocratic families are in the same boat, but because there are too many people involved in this matter.This is just the confession of Wei Damao alone, if everyone is interrogated, there will only be more people who confess.

At that time, when the emperor's butcher knife is opened, blood will flow like a river.

But no one dared to persuade the emperor to endure, even Wei Zheng, who was known for his strength, remained silent.

The art of witchcraft has caused chaos in the world.

This kind of matter must be dealt with, and it must be dealt with decisively and fiercely. Only in this way can others be deterred, otherwise the world will be in chaos.

"Have the frontier troops entered the customs?" Li Shimin asked coldly after getting angry.

"Returning to the saint, a total of 14 people from the six frontier armies have entered the customs and entered the designated positions for defense." Li Jing replied with a sigh.

These six frontier armies totaled 20 people, and they were originally used to besiege the main force of the Turks and completely wipe out the Eastern Turks.Now most of them are mobilized into the pass and deployed at key points to prevent civil strife, leaving only 6 people to guard the border fortress.

This also means that it is impossible to launch a war of annihilation against the Turks this year. If you miss this opportunity, it will cost a greater price to destroy the Turks in the future.

As a general, he didn't want to see such a situation, but as a privy secretary, he knew it had to be done.

Datang must quell internal hidden dangers with a thunderous force before concentrating on dealing with foreign enemies. Otherwise, when Datang and foreign enemies are fighting fiercely, the internal careerists will be all over.

"Okay, okay, okay, since they want to die..." Li Shimin said murderously, and changed the subject halfway: "How is Cuilan?"

Although everyone believed in Yue Shan's words, his words could not be used as evidence to make a conclusion before the spell was successfully cast. The emperor used other excuses to arrest people and collect evidence in private.

Only when he successfully casts the spell on his side can he formally liquidate those involved in the case.

……

The haze that permeated the entire Tang Dynasty was discovered by more and more people.

Gradually, even the beggars on the street knew what was going to happen, and the key to this big event was on the high platform outside the Chongxuan Gate.It has already attracted the attention of the whole world.

Five days have passed without knowing it, and the number of people watching outside the high platform not only has not decreased, but has been avoided day by day. Now there are more than [-] people watching on a daily basis.

Yue Shan follows the routine every day, feeding and watering the hens on time, and stays in the wooden house for the rest of the time, not knowing what to do.

And the five old hens that everyone was looking forward to had some changes. I don’t know if it was a change. Three hens stopped laying eggs on the third day, and only one was still laying eggs on the fourth day.

On the fifth day, which is today, none of them laid eggs.

This... is it going to become a rooster?Everyone subconsciously thought of it.

However, the next development was beyond their expectations. The chickens have not changed since they stopped laying eggs.Neither rooster feathers nor combs grew.

If anything, the chickens have become livelier, but what does that mean?
It wasn't until the tenth day that the change finally happened.

"Oh oh oh..." At the dawn of Buddha, the loud crowing of roosters came from the chicken coop on the high platform.
