Wei Wuhou

Chapter 121

In the room, the mother and son stood and knelt, calmly talking about the past.

"Seventeen years ago, when Marquis Cheng was still in power, Your Majesty had just been made the crown prince..."

"At that time... our Tan family was a big family, and we often intermarried with the public house. To celebrate the new crown prince, my father sent me to the palace and married the prince as a concubine."

Tan Ji's tone was calm, as if what she said had nothing to do with her.

"That was the spring day in the 14th year of Marquis Cheng. I was wearing a gorgeous wedding dress and stepped into the palace for the first time." Speaking of this, Tan Ji's expression changed slightly, as if she had an aftertaste.

Sure enough, a smile appeared on Tan Ji's face inadvertently, and she said slowly, "The first time I met him, he was only a young man in his twenties, he had just ascended to a high position, and he was full of vigor..."

Wei Wuji knew that the "he" in Tan Ji's mouth must be his cheap father.

I didn't expect my father to be so charming back then!My mother has been treated like this, and she still thinks about those good things.

"The him at that time was in line with all my visions for my future lover..."

Speaking of this, Tan Ji blushed and said, "The first time I saw him, I was deeply attracted to him, and then I fell involuntarily..."

Wei Wuji was a little speechless, Mom, are you telling me about the current crisis?Or tell your love story back then?

"At that time, as the pearl of the Tan clan, I was youthful, beautiful... and I was deeply obsessed with you. I was newlywed and cared for me, and I was honored and favored for a while..."

Tan Ji's eyes were blurred, and she was very fascinated by the good memories of that year.

"One year later, that is, 15 years after Chenghou, I gave birth to you..." At this time, Tan Ji looked at Wei Wuji.

Wei Wuji looked solemn, and calmly listened to his mother's narration.

"Although you are the youngest young master, Your Majesty's thoughts were all on you at that time, and he would visit you regularly every day."

"As a result, my mother became even more favored and hated by others, but all of this was blocked by the king."

"Those two years were the happiest time in my life. He was busy with business outside, and I taught his children inside..." Tan Ji's face revealed a sad expression when she said this.

"When Chenghou was 17 years old, because of the relapse of his old injury, Chenghou couldn't afford it, and he took over the state affairs."

Hearing this, Wei Wuji felt that he was about to get to the point.

"And this is the opportunity that father has been waiting for." Tan Ji looked pained, as if she didn't want to recall any more.

Wei Wuji's heart sank, he was afraid that Tan Ji would stop just like that.

"After he took charge of state affairs, his business became more and more busy, and he stayed in the prince's mansion less and less. On the contrary, my father often came to see me."

"Every time my father came, he would bring some weird things from the street, which I liked very much when I grew up in the palace."

"Moreover, every time my father would tell interesting stories about my childhood, the relationship between father and daughter has deepened a lot."

"This kind of life seems to be passable, at least it is happy."

"Until one day, my father told me to tell him about the reform..."

Hearing this, Wei Wuji was startled, he was sensitive to the word "reform" for no reason.

Tan Ji continued, "I didn't know what reform was at that time, so I listened to my father and told him the words."

"At that time, he was in charge of state affairs for the first time, and he couldn't bear the various abuses of the Wei state, and he was even more annoyed by the covetous eyes of other countries. He needed someone who could help him strengthen the country." Speaking of Marquis Wei, Ji Tan There is light in the eyes.

"So, he accepted his father's request and directly promoted him to be the head of the Great Shu, to lead the reform."

Wei Wuji knelt on the ground, listening to the secrets of the past ten years.

"Because my father has planned this matter for a long time, he proposed various laws and regulations as soon as he took office to target domestic ills." Tan Ji turned around and said with her back to Wei Wuji.

"Everything went smoothly, and even some voices of opposition were washed away in the torrent of reform."

"In a short period of time, a new atmosphere has appeared in the Wei country, and everything has become orderly, which is what he expected in his heart." The word "he" made Tan Ji feel extremely sad.

"Therefore, my father came up with a further decree. He proposed a system of directly granting land based on military merits, so as to enhance the enthusiasm of the soldiers for fighting."

"As soon as the servant proposed, my father was opposed by many big families, because once the decree is implemented and the soldiers own their own land, who will cultivate it for those people?"

"In the face of the coming pressure, he still resolutely stood on his father's side and vigorously pushed forward the reform." Tan Ji's tone became higher, as if here
"In the end, the matter of granting land for military merit was still implemented, and the morale of the soldiers of all the troops really increased, and they became more brave on the battlefield."

"The success of the reform made my father famous. His limelight even overshadowed the prime minister at that time, and he was called the hidden prime minister by the people at that time."

"In the 19th year of Marquis Cheng, the terminally ill Chenghou collapsed and passed away. He became the Marquis of Wei naturally, and his father's honor and favor were even more profound." When talking about the rise in status, there was no trace of joy in Tan Ji's words.

Wei Wuji remained silent, watching Tan Ji's back silently.

"At that time in Wu'an City, the prestige of our Tan family completely surpassed that of the other big families. Even the prime minister and Zhu Guo general had to let father three points." Tan Ji's tone was soothing, and the narration slowed down.

"It seems that the goal of governing the country and the world has been achieved..."

"But my father is not satisfied with this, he will continue to reform and become more radical..."

"In the second year of the Junhou's reign, my father directly raised the issue of conferring titles on the basis of military merit..."

"As soon as this remark came out, it immediately caused an uproar in Wu'an City, and everyone said it was chaos." Mentioning this matter, Tan Ji couldn't help shaking her head.

"Father didn't care about other people's opinions at all. He always believed that he was right. In the midst of a wave of opposition, he forced the reform."

"Under the suppression of the power, he suppressed the huge opposition. My father has even waited for him. The prime minister and the position of Shangqing are almost being embraced by him..." Tan Ji's words slowed down, as if running away.

"But the last thing my father waited for was a soldier of the General Wu'an Garrison... He was arrested on the charge of embezzling the Mexican army's salary and intending to rebel."

"Up to this time, my father still didn't see the seriousness of the problem. He still thought that Junhou would stand by him and clear up his grievances..."

"However, this time Junhou didn't make a sound, and just let his father struggle helplessly in the cell... so much so that he never saw Junhou on the day his father beheaded him."

Standing behind Tan Ji, Wei Wuji could still feel that Tan Ji was crying.The most painful thing in the world is probably not to look at her husband and kill her father!

"In the future, a large number of members of the Tan family will be implicated and beheaded, and the rest will also be dispatched to the extreme north, where they will be slaves and handmaids for generations..."

"It seems that in one night, the Dan family in Wu'an City, who called the wind and rain, disappeared like a cloud of smoke."

Tan Ji turned around and said with tears all over her face, "And I am the last member of the Dan clan in Wu'an City."

Although Tan Ji was crying, he didn't cry. These years of suffering had forged him to be extraordinarily tough.

"Because of my father, many ministers demanded that I be deposed. Just when I was desperate, he finally spoke!"

Pointing at Wei Wuji, Tan Ji said, "Because I gave birth to you, I was spared from being deposed by the prince and kept my position in the palace..."

"However, the relationship between husband and wife for many years ended here. After that, he never saw our mother and son again." Speaking of this, Tan Ji's eyes became more painful, as if because of that relationship. deplore the demise.

Does mother still love cheap daddy?This unrealistic idea popped up in Wei Wuji's mind.

Hearing this, Wei Wuji still had doubts in his mind. He asked directly, "Mother, why was Grandpa framed?"

"Why did father listen to slander and not come out to uphold justice?"

"Also, what is the relationship between Xu Zhuguo and us?"

……

Wei Wuji still had many problems in his mind.
