I rely on the collapse of people to set my life in the hands of the male protagonist

Chapter 213

Chu Lishu came in with Lv Yi and Lv Shi. The patriarch of the Wang clan had met Lv Yi before. The other party came to offer advice and successfully cooperated to save the person. That's why they waited for the eldest prince here. If Lv Yi is an enemy If you want to catch them all, you can do it when you find them before. There is no need to go around like this, so what is going on with these people.

The members of the Wang family immediately rushed to check on the situation of the eldest prince and Wang Tongen. Although they were in poor health, at least they were still alive.

"Who are you?" The patriarch of the royal family is Wang Tongen's grandfather. He is still strong and calm in the face of such a situation.

"I've met him before. He is the fourth prince's companion, and now he is quite appreciated by Prime Minister Li and General Zhao." One of the Wang family pointed to Chu Lishu and said.

Everyone panicked immediately, not knowing what the visitor meant.

"General Huo has surrounded this place, you can't get away." Chu Lishu walked slowly, went to the hall and sat down at the head of the hall, "I can't control you, but I can save these two people."

"Why should we believe you? Who knows if you are with that kid from the Huo family? Maybe the eldest prince and Tong En could have escaped, but you caught them in." The person who spoke was Wang Tongen's father, the current The head of the family, the elder brother of the imperial concubine, is quite intelligent in Chu Lishu's opinion.

"General Huo hasn't come in yet, because the guards you left nearby have to be cleared first, and we will come because all of your people are dead. If it weren't for us, the two of them would be arrested now." Chu Lishu said casually.

The people of the Wang family immediately became anxious and became noisy. They didn't want to die here. After all, they were all old. Obviously, they didn't have the courage to stay calm in the face of danger and see death as home.

The patriarch of the royal family scolded, and the feeling of doom had already filled his entire face.He knew that they would not be able to leave here alive. He knew that such a day would come when he made the decision to rebel. If you want to, you have to let your children and grandchildren go.

For the convenience of conversation, the head of the royal family ordered everyone else to retreat, leaving only the head of the royal family.

"You just said you can leave them? Are you sent by Prime Minister Li? I don't understand, why do you take the risk to save people?" The patriarch Wang asked cautiously.

"It's just a deal. Entrusted by the imperial concubine, if you help her rescue the prince, you can offer the wealth hidden in the dark by the Wang family."

As Chu Lishu was speaking, Lu Shi handed over a list. The Patriarch and Patriarch looked at it, and were shocked. This is something that their Wang family has accumulated for hundreds of years and has been secretly managed from generation to generation. It is left for them to make a comeback. Finally, the capital, including underground gambling houses, mines, etc. It is impossible for outsiders to know. Even the Wang family is only known by a few people in power. It seems that the imperial concubine really made a deal with them.

It turned out to be a transaction. Indeed, anyone with those wealth would be jealous. Prime Minister Li also knew that even if the eldest prince left, it would be difficult to compete for the throne in the future, so he wanted to take the opportunity to make a fortune. People of unknown origin are reassuring.

"The imperial concubine said, it's up to you to decide, and the time is limited. If you agree, write a letter of gift, and we will send the eldest prince and Wang Tongen to the Qinghe Wang clan, and ask them to hand over all the contracts and seals on the list, and it will be considered complete." trade."

"What if you don't believe what you say, and turn around and lead people to encircle and suppress the Qinghe Wang family." Patriarch Wang sternly said.

"If this is the case, wouldn't your people sell me back? Prime Minister Li made a private transaction. If the emperor finds out about this, wouldn't the fourth prince's faction be finished? We sincerely cooperate, and if you don't believe it, forget it .” Chu Lishu got up after finishing speaking.

The Wangs and their sons were already weak in this negotiation. Seeing Chu Lishu's attitude, they suddenly lost their mentality.

Looking at the eldest prince and Wang Tongen who were still in a coma, at least what Chu Lishu said was right. They old people can't escape, so don't they leave opportunities for the children?

Wang's father and son looked at each other, their eyes were red.

Finally, a dull voice sounded in the lobby, "We promise!"

After the head of the patriarch Wang finished writing the letter of gift, it will be sent by the patriarch to the other elders to sign. This is tantamount to telling them all that you can't leave, even if you sacrifice everything, you can only let the eldest prince and Wang Tongen leave. Silently shedding tears, some people were unwilling and wanted to escape together.

The royal patriarch didn't care about the chaos in the future. He was writing the last letter to his daughter under the instruction of Chu Lishu. The imperial concubine could not leave the palace. If the rebellion failed, the imperial concubine would definitely die. Let her feel at ease and tell her that the eldest prince and Wang Tongen have been rescued, so she doesn't have to worry about it.

The patriarch of the royal family wept while writing. A decayed old man wrote the last words to meet his daughter on Huangquan Road. It looked so pitiful, but the three people present did not show the slightest sympathy.

When the letter was handed over, Patriarch Wang was about to bow to Chu Lishu when Patriarch Wang ran out in a hurry, his face was already full of surprise, and the letter of gift had just been signed halfway.

"what happened?"

"Father, that's wrong! Just now, we all summed up, and there are at least several of these things. We haven't mentioned them to my little sister at all. How could she know!" Patriarch Wang glared at Chu Lishu immediately after speaking.

Patriarch Wang turned his head in shock, only to see Chu Lishu sneering at them.

"Young Master Chu, what is going on here! Are you kidding us? Where did you get the list of things that you want to lie to Mrs. Wang? How could you..."

Lu Shi couldn't help but sneered and said: "Your Wang's things have been taken by our master long ago. The reason why the list is so complete is because we conquered one and wrote down the next one. Of course it's all. You are all in this month. The capital is busy with the rebellion, so they probably don't know that the items on this list have long since ceased to exist."

"What! What are you talking about! How is it possible! How can it be done!" Patriarch Wang was so dumbstruck that he couldn't believe that someone could do such a thing.

Lu Shi was showing off, and Lu clicked his tongue. "Don't disturb the master talking."

"You... what do you want to do?!" Patriarch Wang said angrily.

But the Patriarch Wang quickly realized that his expression became ferocious, and he pointed at Chu Lishu with trembling arms, "Xin, you are trying to trick me into writing that letter to my daughter, she has never traded with you, no I believe you, but if there is this letter, she will think that you are with us! Why is this, my daughter is already a prisoner, and the emperor will not let her go, how are you going to deal with her! "

The Patriarch Wang rushed over as he spoke, but was kicked away by Lu Shixi, "Don't touch my master with your dirty hands!"

The Patriarch Wang fell to the ground, Patriarch Wang wanted to kill someone angrily, but he had no choice but to support the patriarch Wang and asked them what they were going to do one by one!

Chu Lishu got up slowly, and looked down at them, "It's nothing, I just want to learn something from the imperial concubine that I don't know." He couldn't bring the eldest prince into the palace to threaten the imperial concubine, but with this The presence of the letter can prove that the First Prince is in his hands.

"Know what?" The royal family's eyes were full of fear and confusion.

Chu Lishu didn't want to waste time talking nonsense, so he sneered and planned to go out.

"Young master Chu, we have no grievances or enmities. Are you not afraid of thunder when you deal with us who have nowhere to go?" Patriarch Wang cursed directly.

Lu Yi and Lu Shi were immediately angry, Chu Lishu paused, looked back at the Wangs and his sons, and said slowly, "There are 20 elite soldiers in Tongguan, [-] people on the border, three dead cities, plague and famine spread There are several cities around, with a total of millions of people, I have always been curious, don’t you all have nightmares? Have you ever thought that everything today is retribution.”

One sentence made the father and son of Wang froze in an instant, as if they were hallucinating, their eyes widened, and a distant memory that had been covered up was bloody dug out like this.It made them all feel as if it was a matter of a previous life.

Patriarch Wang's pupils shook, but he tried his best to defend and deny, "What nonsense are you talking about, what does that have anything to do with us?"

"You... who are you? You are here for what happened back then..." The royal patriarch trembled, as if he couldn't catch his breath.

Chu Lishu's gaze made the soles of the Wang family's father and son feel cold, as if they were being targeted by an evil spirit. Finally, the patriarch Wang couldn't hold it anymore, and spurted out a mouthful of blood, as if he had aged ten years suddenly, crying and unable to speak.

The head of the Wang family supported his father, and immediately shouted: "You must be real rebels, you are for the first prince, I know, as long as you tell the emperor, you can't afford to go around, yes, I will tell... ..."

Patriarch Wang supported his old father and was about to run out, but just as he rushed to the door, he bumped into Huo Luo head-on.

Only then did they discover that Huo Luo had been guarding the gate of the courtyard the whole time, and he had been there all along.

The head of the Wang family immediately shouted: "General Huo, they are people related to the former prince, you have to arrest them!"

Facing Huo Luo's cold and contemptuous gaze, the patriarch Wang grabbed his son and shouted, "Stop talking, don't you see that they are in the same group?"

In this way, the Wang family father and son were forced into the house step by step, like catching a turtle in a jar, with no way out.

"You and Yuechen were responsible for the matter of the Ministry of Industry, and now it's you and them again... You... Are you doing it for the former prince? Do you know the truth back then? All this is your revenge?" Although the royal patriarch thought It doesn't make sense, but the ending is already clear, and he can only think of this.Could it be those fanatical young people who followed His Royal Highness back then, didn't they all die?

Huo Luo snorted coldly, didn't bother to pay attention, stepped forward to salute Chu Lishu respectfully, and said, "Time is running out, it's time to leave."

Chu Lishu nodded in response. Seeing that they were about to leave, knowing that their death was approaching, the patriarch of the royal family almost scrambled to stand in front of Chu Lishu, angrily angrily said: "What the hell are you doing? Is the prince going to cause chaos in the world? Before our three major clans were attacked, I felt strange at that time. I thought it was caused by our mutual attack, but it was too coincidental. Why did you concentrate on it during this time? So it was you who made it Right, you...you..."

The old man's eyes changed from cloudy to clear and confused. He looked at Chu Lishu. He knew that among these people, Chu Lishu was the one in power. He stared at this young man, as if he didn't want to find out the truth. As if dying, "Who are you? Who are you?!"

Chu Lishu suddenly said: "Old Wang, on the day the East Palace was copied, did the picture of the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains that you gave me to celebrate the new year have been taken away? It is your best collection, and you must be reluctant to leave it outside."

The New Year's Eve map of thousands of miles of rivers and mountains was a birthday gift given to Prince Yuan Ran. Later, the East Palace was confiscated, and he was secretly taken out. It is still placed in the treasure house of Qinghe's hometown.

Patriarch Wang's eyes widened, and he fell backwards. He was supported by Patriarch Wang. Both the father and son looked at the complete stranger in disbelief, their legs trembled, and finally fell to their knees.

"How is it possible..." Patriarch Wang dared not answer.

The royal patriarch stared at Chu Lishu intently, and suddenly he seemed to see Yuan Ran's shadow on Chu Lishu. "Your Highness, you are...you are His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" After finishing speaking, his whole body twitched, as if the whites of his eyes would roll over in the next second, and he would faint.

"Father, he is really..." Patriarch Wang hurriedly grabbed the patriarch and shouted.

But the royal patriarch was already so frightened that he couldn't even tell whether the person in front of him was a human or a ghost. "You... came back to take revenge on us? You really didn't die! No wonder... No wonder the emperor didn't feel relieved until he found the corpse. I thought he was guilty. It turned out that his worry was justified. As long as you still have breath, We will be the ones who die! I see, I see!"

The royal patriarch was shocked, crying and laughing.

The head of the Wang family finally believed it. He was very annoyed, and shouted directly at Chu Lishu: "His Royal Highness, we can't blame our Wang family for what happened back then. It was your fault. It was you who insisted on destroying our clan. What's wrong with self-preservation!"

"You fart! When did the master want to destroy you!" Lu Shi angrily scolded.

Patriarch Wang's eyes were red, and he crazily retorted: "Don't think we can't see it. The late emperor said that when you get married, it will be passed on to you. How many decrees to be implemented were issued in the East Palace at that time, and how many of our secrets were behind it? Benefits, you even treat your own mother's family, the Cheng family, as equals, let alone us? Back then, you determined to create a more harmonious and beautiful world. To pave the way for them is to break our way and deprive us of our interests. Why should we cooperate with you."

Law Yi and Shi are all aware of the situation during that time, and His Highness's attitude towards the people of the world can actually be seen from His Highness's support for Yamoyuan.But Huo Luo knew better. When His Highness had an accident, he and Yuechen were still young. At that time, the court changed, and many high officials supported by His Highness had accidents. They were all from the three major clans, so that now Three of the six novels in the novel are taken over by the clan's children, and the harem is almost controlled by them.At that time, Yue Chen told Huo Luo that His Highness must have been murdered by the three major clans.

Huo Luo didn't understand why at that time, Yue Chen told him that if a country wants to develop well, a clan that can monopolize and control the lifeline of the country should not appear. The situation of exchange is completely controlled by the clans, and the clans have no world in their hearts, only what their own clan can do to get more benefits and continue the privilege for a hundred years.In order to avoid the situation where the river is exhausted, it is imperative to curb the ambition of the clan.And His Highness wants to create more opportunities for the common people through the reform of government orders, and gradually weaken the clan's control over the world, so that a country can become stronger and better.

In fact, every Mingjun would have such an idea.Overriding the imperial power and curbing the power of the lower classes to change their life paths will only lead to a country gradually becoming corrupt and decadent.

"Your Highness, there is nothing wrong!" Huo Luo recalled what he had heard at that time, and felt that His Highness was a man of great talent and a vision for the world, that's right!

The head of the Wang family did not admit it, "No! Facts have proved that he is wrong. Look at this world, who else remembers what he has done for the common people? They are ignorant, and only the son inherits his father's career forever. The position is the safest, and consolidating our rights and interests is what we should do as kings, if we can't do it well, we don't deserve it!"

Huo Luo saw that His Highness whom he admired was denied, and recalled the question Yue Chen had muttered, and said angrily: "Every emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, including the one who is in power now, has not done anything to weaken the clan! Any of them The emperor doesn't want his power to be controlled by your clan, why is he so cruel to His Highness!!"

"Because only he can do it..." Patriarch Wang said, he stared blankly at the expressionless Chu Lishu, as if looking at Yuan Ran in the past.

"Those emperors wanted to weaken us every time they ascended the throne, but how many of them were able to make achievements, and finally reached an agreement without compromise. But you are different. Your ability makes people more and more powerful as you grow older. Afraid, those young people are amazed by your talent, wishing to catch up with you immediately, they regard you as a god, you are more and more popular, you can do whatever you want, even Xie, the emperor The Queen Mother's mother's family, the clan that beat us at that time could be wiped out by the one who was not as crowned as you. Can our other clans not be afraid? In the end, you even gave up the position of crown princess to a woman who was not born in the clan, Hehe, other emperors want to weaken us to concentrate power, but you want to...so that the Great Zhou Dynasty no longer exists like a clan. We must do something! Otherwise, how can we be worthy of our ancestors? !"

The royal patriarch said while crying, as if he was the one who was wronged.Finally, Chu Lishu looked at him. He was still angry when he remembered what happened back then, but when faced with the questioning of Wang's father and son, he gradually became indifferent.

"The me back then never wanted to destroy the clan. After all, you are also my people."

When the Wang family father and son heard this sentence, they were shocked, and looked at Chu Lishu stupidly.

"I just want to find a balance between the powerful and the common people, but for you, maybe curbing your growth is equivalent to destroying you. After all, the reform has not yet been implemented, and no one knows what will happen. It is useless to talk. I know Why are you targeting me, I just didn’t expect to sacrifice millions of people in order to consolidate the rights and interests of you few people!”

Chu Lishu's icy gaze made the Wang family father and son freeze from the heart, and then the blood all over their bodies was frozen.

"We didn't think of that kind of thing at all. When King Ning sent someone to lobby us, when we Wang learned about it, we already knew that Cheng and Pei agreed to cooperate, and Yue didn't want to get involved, so we retreated. If we don't agree, After they change the dynasty, our Wang family will definitely not be able to please, not to mention that my daughter is the concubine of King Ning, and I naturally cannot refuse. What does he need and what we provide, let our Wang family officials be at his disposal, without knowing at all It will lead to that result." Patriarch Wang tried his best to justify his crime, as if he didn't want to bear so much blood debt.

Chu Lishu sneered, "I have to die with a bad name, and the emperor has to wear a good name to ascend the throne, so that people in the world can be convinced and obedient. Make a fortune in the chaos of war and reshuffle the forces that I have sorted out before. If not How could a huge blood sacrifice be successful without instilling lessons into the bones of the people? You really didn't know what the consequences would be?"

The last trace of blood on the faces of the Wang family and his son faded away, and all their high-sounding disguises and sanctimonious rhetoric were shattered, and the greed and ugliness under the bloody smell could no longer be concealed.

"I...we are the ones who do the least...really the least." Patriarch Wang no longer dared to look up at Chu Lishu directly, as if looking at the eyes of millions of undead, he could only cry Tears argue that they are not the ones who commit the most crimes.

Chu Lishu sneered, and every word he uttered was murderous, "Really? Anyway, I won't let any of them go!"

The Wang family father and son had nothing to say, the patriarch finally walked to Chu Lishu's feet, and kowtowed heavily, "His Royal Highness, we admit our mistake, we are sorry for you, we are sorry for those innocent people, but Yuan Shuo has worshiped you since he was a child, he has never I hurt you, neither he nor Wang Tongen knew what happened back then, these grievances have nothing to do with them, please let them go."

Chu Lishu smiled contemptuously and asked back: "Then how many people who stayed in the capital and stood on my side were killed by you, and are their families related to these grievances?"

Patriarch Wang and Patriarch Wang looked desperate again. They finally understood that what they were facing was no longer the benevolent prince he used to be, but an avenger who crawled back from hell.Even if one life is exchanged for another, their Wang family is not enough to repay.

They wept bitterly in despair. If they hadn't done that back then, their clan hegemony would have gradually dissipated, but everyone would still live a life of comfort and wealth, but now...the Wang family is gone, completely gone.

After a stick of incense, a raging fire ignited in the Wang family's secret place. Huo Luo led people to extinguish the flames. Only a few young people from the Wang family escaped and were arrested, and the rest were buried in the flames. The characteristics matched, and was brought back to the palace by Huo Luo.

In the dead of night, the wooden box at the bottom of the merchant ship of the Chenlan Chamber of Commerce was shaking. One person opened the wooden cover and looked at the two people inside, "Are you awake? Be quiet, and you haven't left the capital yet. Remember, you are dead, and the Wang family is gone. Afterwards, change your name and surname, this is an opportunity for your elders to use all their efforts to save the two of you, cherish it."

In the Cultural Museum, Lin Qingyang sat in the yard near the gate and waited until a tired figure walked in under the moonlight.

Lin Qingyang stood up immediately, and stepped forward worriedly, "Are you back?"

Chu Lishu smiled in relief, nodded and said, "Well, I'm back."
