The Human Emperor Chapter 4: The Crisis of the Wang Family

Published:

This was without a doubt the happiest meal I’ve had in a while.

There was constant laughter during the meal. Mrs. Wang’s face was full of spring breeze and she was beaming with joy. Wang Chong was constantly served vegetables on the table.

Father Wang was no longer as simple and serious as before. Under Mrs. Wang’s urging, he took the initiative to give Wang Chong a chopstick.

“Third brother, you are amazing!”

Seeing this scene, the little sister of the Wang family was stunned for a long time. She gave a wink from under the table, and fell to the ground in admiration of her little brother.

I originally thought that my little brother was doomed again this time, and the little sister of the Wang family was ready to witness the tragedy on earth. Unexpectedly, after a few words, not only did the father and mother not punish, but they laughed and laughed, rewarding and punishing the third brother, and even the father took the initiative to serve the third brother.

Even the little sister of the Wang family couldn’t help but feel jealous. She had never enjoyed this kind of treatment at home for so long.

“Daddy, it doesn’t matter, I want it too!”

The little sister of the Wang family was so angry that she pushed her big bowl and pushed it in front of the king’s father.

“What do you look like as a girl!”

Father Wang had a stern face, saying that the younger sister of the Wang family felt aggrieved, tears welling up in her little eyes. Seeing Mrs. Wang beside her, she was very angry and funny:

“Give it! My mother will give it to you!”

“Brother will also give you a chopstick!”

Wang Chong smiled secretly while watching, and also took a chopstick for his little sister.

“Thank you bro.”

The little sister of the Wang family burst into laughter and ate happily, completely forgetting the previous stubble.

Family eat happily.

“Father, I heard that you are going to see Master Yao?”

Wang Chong bowed his head to eat, and asked suddenly in a casual manner.

The atmosphere at the dining table suddenly changed, slightly stagnant. Mrs. Wang hurriedly winked at Wang Chong, and the younger sister of the Wang family was so frightened that the bowls and chopsticks were hanging in the air.

At home, everyone knows that the royal father doesn’t like to talk about official business. I also don’t like family members interfering.

“Where did you hear that?”

The king raised his head and said calmly. Wang Chong could see clearly, his father’s brows looked over the dining table, and he frowned slightly, obviously a little unhappy that he mentioned this.

Wang Chong’s heart skipped a beat, but he could only bite the bullet and speak. This matter is very important to him. If this fate cannot be changed, his previous painstaking efforts will be in vain.

“The child overheard it when his father and mother were talking.”

Wang Chong bit his head and said, feeling nervous. Whether it succeeds or not, depends on the next words.

“Oh.”

Father Wang’s brows moved, and then he remembered that he seemed to have mentioned this matter to his wife Zhao Shuhua once by accident. But it was only one time. I didn’t expect Wang Chong to hear it:

“Yes, that’s what happened. Why are you asking this?”

Wang Chong’s previous good performance played a role, and Wang’s father did not get angry, but let him continue. Apparently, he was slowly being treated as an adult.

A person who is about to join a training camp, ready to enter the battlefield, is indeed not suitable for being a child.

“Yao Daren has always been at odds with his father, and has no contact. This time he will take the initiative to ask his father to meet. The child thinks he has bad intentions, and I am afraid he has ulterior motives.”

Wang Chong said carefully.

Wang Chong knew that his father didn’t like people in his family to meddle in his official business. This should not have been said by his fifteen-year-old child, but Wang Chong had to say it.

In the previous life, Yao Guangyi, the master of Yao, invited his father, who had never had any friendship, to a meeting and talk in the name of official business.

Father is not without precautions. If Yao Guangyi says anything at the meeting, it is enough to win over him vigorously. Father will definitely refuse. But this Yao Guangyi was extremely cunning. He didn’t say anything at the banquet, he just took his father to drink and talked about innocuous things.

Afterwards, Yao Guangyi deliberately took the initiative to stab the matter to King Song.

The King of Song is a relative of the royal family, and he is a member of the Ministry of War. Because of his grandfather’s relationship, Song Wang was very fond of his father.

Father Wang Yan was able to reach this place at a young age and became the real power commander in the place. Song Wang’s contribution is indispensable.

My father “confided” King Song and the hostile Yao Guangyi, who was loyal to King Qi in a private meeting. How could King Song not be angry?

It’s nothing if it’s normal.

However, the King of Song and the King of Qi are now fighting openly and secretly in the court, and the situation is the same. The King of Song’s disciples and old friends in the court are even attracted by the King of Qi. Dozens of them have defected, causing the King of Song to be alone in the court. The situation where the hall is difficult to speak, the impact is greatly reduced.

These things stimulated King Song very much, causing him to be very suspicious. Father and Yao Guangyi met privately at this time, and King Song’s feelings can be imagined.

When it was even worse, my father was stubborn and didn’t know how to be flexible. He clearly knew that King Song was suspicious, and said that Yao Guangyi contacted him and didn’t talk about anything, so the two of them drank wine there all afternoon.

The two hostile court officials met privately, but they didn’t talk about anything, just drinking, how could King Song believe such a thing?

Father’s remarks, not only did not explain clearly, but made the King of Song think that his father not only betrayed him, but also deliberately humiliated him in front of him after he betrayed the King of Qi.

In addition, Yao Guangyi later deliberately misled King Song and came up with a series of tricks at the border, which made King Song misunderstand his father even more.

Also think that the Wang family sees the wind and turns the rudder, sees that he is out of power, and joins the King of Qi together.

The so-called deep love and deep hatred, the relationship between the King of Song and the Wang family for several generations, the relationship is the closest, the most attentive, and the support is the most, so the “betrayal” of the Wang family is more and more unacceptable.

This matter hit him hard, even more difficult for him to accept than the dozens of trusted disciples and the old betrayal. The King of Song was completely disappointed with the Wang family.

When my grandfather was alive, King Song cared for some friendship, but only deprived his father of military power. When Grandpa died, without the protection of King Song, King Qi vigorously suppressed the Wang family.

In just a few short years, the once prominent Wang family completely withdrew from the officialdom of the Tang Empire.

Without the aggressive and aggressive fighting faction of King Song, no one could compete with King Qi, and the strategy of the Tang Empire changed from hard to soft, converging inward. Ultimately, it caused the disaster that followed.

It can be said that this accident is not only a huge disaster for the Wang family, but also for the King of Song, and even for the entire court!

All three parties are the losers of this change, and even King Qi himself is not the final winner.

The impact of this incident was so profound that Wang Chong remembered it clearly.

The fate of the entire Wang family and the entire imperial court has changed since then, and my father has been brooding about this until his death, saying that the biggest mistake in his life was that he accepted Yao Guangyi’s invitation and did not work with the King of Song. Explain clearly in front of you.

Wang Chong remembered this matter clearly.

In his previous life, Wang Chong was confused, refused to accept everything, and had no feelings for this family. When I was shocked later, I cherished this family and wanted to change something, but it was too late.

For Wang Chong, this is also a deep regret.

It was fine in the last life, but in this life, now that he knew the trend of this matter, Wang Chong would not turn a blind eye no matter what.

This matter, he must stop it!

It’s just that Wang Chong couldn’t tell his father about these things.

“You don’t have to be involved in this matter. Your child has his own opinion.”

The king said lightly, but there was no expression on his face.

There was a gap between the ancestors of the Yao and Wang families, but after all, it was a matter of the previous dynasty, and after a long period of time, as for him and Yao Guangyi, there was not much conflict.

It’s not that Wang’s father doesn’t know about King Song and King Qi. He wants to see them, but he’s worried that they will both tear their faces and see them when they look up.

After all, there wasn’t much conflict between the two.

The big deal, if Yao Guangyi wants to win him over, he will show his position at that time, and he will just refuse, and let him give up completely, or once and for all. Lest he refuses this time, Yao Guangyi will not give up and stalk him, which is also troublesome.

Wang Chong observes his words and looks, and his heart is secretly anxious.

My father is a typical soldier. He is not necessarily inferior to Yao Guangyi, who leads troops to fight and kills enemies on the battlefield. But when it comes to intrigue and political tricks, my father and Yao Guangyi are really far behind.

The two sides are not an order of magnitude at all!

Yao Guangyi understood his father’s character and deliberately set this trap. If my father still had this mentality of “as long as I’m upright, and I’m not afraid of anything else”, I’m afraid he would be caught off guard and fall into Yao Guangyi’s hands.

At that time, it will be too late to regret it.

“Chong’er, even if your father said it, don’t say more. Hurry up and eat.”

“Knowing the child is more like the mother”, Mrs. Wang observed her words and expressions, and Wang Chong could see at a glance what was in his heart, and hurriedly gave him a wink.

She knows her husband’s character all too well. He hates discussing official business at meals. It is very good to tolerate Wang Chong saying that he doesn’t lose his temper.

The sentence “I have my own opinion for my father” has actually explained his attitude. This matter has already set the tone, and it will be stopped. If Wang Chong continued, he would really anger the king.

Wang Chong was secretly anxious. He didn’t know what his mother meant. But this matter is no trivial matter. If you don’t get it right, everything here, the lobby here, including the entire Wang family and the uncle’s place, will be wiped out.

The entire Wang family will be completely wiped out of the political arena of the Tang Dynasty. Father didn’t know Yao Guangyi’s methods, so he hadn’t been on guard against him yet, but Wang Chong couldn’t help reminding him.

Even if he offends his father and is punished by his father, he must do it.

“Father, this matter is no trivial matter. The boy thinks, will this matter be notified to King Song and let him know in advance, if there is such a thing…it would be better.”

Wang Chong thought about it for a long time, and finally came up with a compromise method, and put forward his own suggestion tactfully. It is impossible to stop the father directly. The father is not a three-year-old child. Being too stubborn will only offend him.

Wang Chong could only think of a way to go back, not to mention Yao Guangyi, but to start with King Song.

“You don’t have to get involved in the affairs of the adults.”

Father Wang looked cold and stood up from the table:

“You eat first, I have something else to do, so I’ll go first.”

After he finished speaking, he turned around and left without finishing his meal.

The Queen Mother turned her head to complain and glanced at Wang Chong~IndoMTL.com~ Wang Chong could only sigh in his heart. Knowing that it is difficult to gain the trust of his father based on his own performance alone.

“But at least he didn’t get mad.”

Wang Chong thought to himself.

Looks like this dinner is “unhappy”. But Wang Chong knew very well that in the past, with his father’s character, if he contradicted him like this, I’m afraid he would have been furious a long time ago.

It’s just a look of displeasure this time, which is pretty good. It seems that his previous remarks still have some effect, not completely useless.

As long as my father can notify King Song in advance before meeting with Yao Guangyi, then his painstaking efforts will not be in vain. This must be done by the father himself, even if he does it himself.

“To accomplish this, I’m afraid Ma Zhou is indispensable!”

Wang Chong was worried.

Father’s personality is too strong, once a decision is made, it will not be easily changed. It is impossible for him to change his mind with just a few words of his own.

This kind of character has also caused him to suffer a lot in his previous life, so that he was used by his opponents.

Wang Chong failed to test the meal, so he had to find another way to start from another place. In any case, this must be stopped.

Finding an excuse, he hurriedly bid farewell to his mother and younger sister. Wang Chong quickly left the room.
