"Can you say it now?"
Taiyuan, the ancestral home of the Wang family, Siguoyuan.
After Wang Kui walked into the side hall, he took the first seat without hesitation. Looking at Wang Renyi standing below, he said expressionlessly.
Since Wang Yu ordered Wang Renyi to be imprisoned here last year, and ordered that no one in the clan should step into the Siguo Courtyard, Wang Kui still took a certain risk in coming here tonight, but as the second elder of the Wang family, he wanted to keep away the people outside the courtyard. Guarding the Wang family is still easy. If Wang Renbiao can say something that interests him tonight, he will naturally be happy. If not, then Wang Renbiao may not get any good results next!
"Yesterday I heard that my eldest brother got married in Qizhou, and the woman he married was the daughter of a merchant. I wonder what the second elder thinks of this?"
Wang Renyi cupped his hands and said.
Wang Kui frowned and said displeasedly: "Humph! This is your eldest brother's business. What can I say? Now the face of the Wang family in Taiyuan has been completely disgraced by your eldest brother's house!"
People from aristocratic families have always been arrogant, and their innate sense of superiority is deeply ingrained. When it comes to Wang Renbiao marrying Li Jingchu, Wang Kui is the most staunch opponent among the elders of the Wang family. Even if With that letter from Li Zexuan, he still opposed the marriage!
In his opinion, Li Jingchu was not worthy of marrying into the Wang family, let alone marrying the eldest son of the Wang family, and Li Zexuan was not qualified to interfere in the affairs of the Wang family! Therefore, Wang Kui did not approve of Li Zexuan's letter!
Hearing this, Wang Renyi remained calm on the surface, but he was secretly laughing in his heart. He cupped his hands towards Wang Kui again and said: "The Wang family is a thousand-year-old clan, and the eldest brother is the eldest son of the Wang family. In this matter, it is true that It was a lack of consideration! But has the second elder ever thought about why my father, who always puts the interests of the family first, agreed to my eldest brother’s marriage this time?”
Wang Kui's face darkened and he frowned: "What do you mean by this?"
Wang Renyi was calm and said seriously: "My father is afraid! My grandfather is afraid too! That's why no one dares to stop my eldest brother's marriage!"
This time, without waiting for Wang Kui to ask, Wang Renyi continued: "Renyi heard that the woman my eldest brother married was recognized as a adopted sister by Marquis Yong'an, and now Marquis Yong'an is at the height of his power in the court. Not only is he ranked among the best in the country at a young age, Hou was even named the governor of a state by the Holy Emperor. He was in charge of the military and political power of a state. He was a well-deserved upstart in the court!
He recognized the woman as his adopted sister because he wanted to facilitate this marriage! In recent years, the aristocratic family has experienced ups and downs, and it has become an indisputable fact that the imperial power suppresses the power of the aristocratic family. My father and my grandfather did not want to offend the upstart Yong'an Hou, so they chose to acquiesce in this matter!
They lowered their heads to Marquis Yong'an, that is, to the court. As the eldest son of the clan, my eldest brother ignored the interests of the family and made such a big mistake. He should have been deposed as the eldest son, but because of Marquis Yong'an's interference, he was And everything is safe! It's ridiculous that the thousand-year glory of my Wang family has now bowed to a small prince. It's really ridiculous! "
At the end of the story, Wang Renyi's face, which was deliberately maintaining calm, became a little out of control, and his voice became a little unwilling and crazy!
"shut up!"
Although Wang Kui wholeheartedly disagreed with the marriage between Wang Renbiao and Li Jingchu, he did not allow others to violate the Wang family in this way because he was the second elder of the Wang family.
At this time, a glimmer of understanding suddenly flashed across his angry eyes. He looked at Wang Renyi and sneered: "It seems that you are jealous of your eldest brother and want to use my power to replace him? Humph! Dreaming! You He is just a concubine of the eldest son, how can he dare to spy on the future head of the Wang family?"
You are just the eldest son of the eldest son, how could you dare to spy on the future head of the Wang family
What Wang Kui said was very vicious. When Wang Renyi heard this, his face suddenly turned green and white, but he quickly suppressed the emotions that were about to explode and said calmly:
"No! The second elder has misunderstood. Renyi is self-aware, and he does not want to replace his eldest brother! Renyi wants to help the second brother win the power in the clan!"
One stone stirred up thousands of waves. Although Wang Kui had been mentally prepared for it, he did not expect such shocking words to come out of Wang Renyi's mouth. He stared at Wang Renyi and spoke word by word. Said: "Do you know what you are talking about now?"
Seeing the expression on Wang Kui's face, Wang Renyi breathed a sigh of relief and secretly thought that he had made the right bet. This Wang Kui was indeed ambitious!
"Of course I know! But now the royal family is incompetent and wants to rely on the imperial court for a moment of peace. But the second elder should know in his heart that the royal family's attachment to the imperial court is tantamount to drinking poison to quench thirst. When the imperial power is strong enough one day, the emperor can find it at will. For one reason, the Wang family will be wiped out in an instant, just like the Cui family and the Zheng family before!
The aristocratic family and the imperial court are destined to be different, but my father has always had a dream of co-prosperity with the imperial court. As a son of human beings, Renyi does not want to see his father continue to make mistakes, and does not want to see the Taiyuan Wang family, which has been passed down for thousands of years, being led into the abyss by his father! The second elder is a man who understands justice and is upright. He has been working hard for the growth of the Wang family. Renyi is willing to help the second elder win the power of the family! "
Hearing this, Wang Kui narrowed his eyes slightly. Although his face was calm, there was a stir in his heart.
Wang Renyi, who comes from the royal family, actually wants to take refuge in him
What kind of trick is this kid playing
Even though he had all kinds of doubts, Wang Renyi's words just now moved Wang Kui's heart and he wanted to seize the power of the family. This was the goal that Wang Kui had been pursuing all his life but could not achieve! He has been competitive since he was a child, but he has always been unable to compete with Wang Bing. When the Wang family became more and more prosperous under the leadership of Wang Bing, he lost his competitive spirit.
But now, Wang Yu intends to lead the Wang family to completely rely on the imperial court. How can Wang Kui, who is accustomed to being arrogant, accept this? You must know that when the Five Surnames and Seven Hopes were at their peak, even the imperial power had to give way to them! Therefore, Wang Renyi's words once again ignited the ambition that Wang Kui had buried for many years!
He wants to compete for the position of the head of the Wang family again!
only…
"Hmph! What a good boy! You are so eloquent. I underestimated you before!"
Wang Kui stood up and walked to Wang Renyi, with a sarcastic look on his face: "You can talk as much as you want, but now that you are in jail and cannot protect yourself, how can you help me gain family power? Besides, you are just the eldest brother. Bastard, what qualifications do you have to make me believe that you have this ability?"
This is the most fundamental issue. Although Wang Kui had to admit that Wang Renyi's words spoke to his heart, but so what? He had been seeking power in the clan for so many years without success, and Wang Renyi was just a young boy who wanted to be civilized but not civilized, and he wanted military skills but not martial arts. He really couldn't see any value in Wang Renyi worthy of his use!
What he didn't expect was that after listening to his words, Wang Renyi knelt down directly in front of him, cupped his hands and said:
"Renyi is willing to Xiu Shu and his father, leave the royal family's house, adopt the second uncle as his son, and give you the second elder as your biological grandson. From now on, I, Wang Renyi, will be the second brother of the Wang family, helping the second elder to gain the power of the Wang family!"
"boom!"
Wang Renyi's words were like a thunder that exploded in the side hall. Wang Kui's pair of ancient and calm eyes also showed a strong look of shock at this time, and even a hint of shock. connotation…
Without him, Wang Kui had three sons and one daughter in his life. The daughter married into the Cui family of Qinghe a long time ago. The eldest son and the second son died early that year (the family has been intermarrying with each other for thousands of years, and the proportion of children born with genetic diseases is Still very old), only his current youngest son Wang Hong is left, but what makes him sad is that this younger son has matured precociously since he was a child. Before he was ten years old, he often messed around with maids and was extravagant, which led to physical abuse in adulthood. He is inferior to ordinary people and has not been able to leave a son and a half for the second wife of the Wang family for many years. This has become Wang Kui's biggest heartache!
Therefore, when Wang Renyi said that he would take the initiative to leave the royal family home and adopt Wang Hong, Wang Kui was immediately moved!
In terms of blood, Wang Renyi has the blood of the Qinghe Cui family and the Taiyuan Wang family, which can be regarded as noble and untainted. In terms of character, Wang Renyi showed him the wit and courage tonight, which impressed him. If Wang Renyi can really adopt his son Wang Hong, it would be a great thing!
Seeing the obviously agitated look on Wang Kui's face, Wang Renyi continued to strike while the iron was hot: "Renyi was imprisoned by his father in his ancestral home because of Li Zexuan. It is impossible for Renyi to make peace with Li Zexuan and the court;
My mother's maternal clan is the Cui family of Qinghe. Since the battle in Guancheng this year, the imperial court destroyed the Cui family and the Zheng family. As a result, my mother has lost even more power in the clan. She has suffered a lot and lived like a year. As a son of a human being, I and I The imperial court is sworn in;
Aunt Miaohan married into the Cui family and was supposed to be rich and wealthy throughout her life. However, a few months ago, after hearing that the imperial court had wiped out the Cui family's influence in Guancheng's ancestral home, she would rather commit suicide than become a prisoner of the imperial court. Second Elder, you It must be very sad, right
We have a common goal and a common enemy. After I pass on to my second uncle, we will become a family. I will do my best to help the second elder gain power! Moreover, there is a great opportunity now, which will not only greatly increase the strength of my Wang family, but also allow you, the second elder, to seize the power in the clan! "
At the end of the story, Wang Renyi directly gave Wang Kui a piece of news, and he didn't believe that Wang Kui was still unmoved!
"Oh? Renyi, why are you kneeling down? Get up and talk!"
Sure enough, after hearing Wang Yu's last words, Wang Kui's eyes suddenly flashed. He quickly stepped forward to help Wang Renyi up from the ground, and then he couldn't wait to ask: "What is the great opportunity you just mentioned?" What do you mean? Tell me in detail!"
