Liu Ji shook off Jin Qiaoru's hand and said in a deep voice: "What I mean is that before the imperial edict is issued, Madam, please make careful plans for the people in the Wei Mansion. Don't wait until the matter comes to a head and be at a loss."
No matter how stupid Jin Qiaoru is, there is no way she won't understand the meaning of this sentence, but she still can't believe it. She once again looked at Liu Ji to confirm: "You mean, General, he can't come back?"
Liu Ji shook his head: "I don't know if the general can come back, but I'm afraid this Wei Mansion won't last long!"
After saying this, he said nothing more, turned around and left the Wei Mansion, and returned to the camp outside the city to explain the matter. Although he was a deputy general who obeyed orders, as a deputy general, he did not dissuade the general, but directly If he led his troops to do such a ridiculous thing, the emperor would definitely not spare him. It would only be a matter of time before he sent the Yulin Guards to arrest him.
Sure enough, just after explaining the matter, Yulin Wei came to the door, and the two of them took him into the palace without saying anything.
"Wei Zhiping, do you know your guilt?" Zhu Sheng looked angry and glared at Wei Zhiping who was kneeling in the golden palace.
Wei Zhiping had known for a long time that this day would come sooner or later. He was not surprised at all, but felt relieved. He knelt on the cold and hard ground and knocked heavily on his forehead: "I know that I am guilty. Please punish me severely!"
As an official of the imperial court, he commanded 30,000 imperial troops, but he openly ordered his lieutenant Dong Zhe to bring thousands of troops to Jincheng to cheer for his bully brother-in-law. This kind of thing made him feel embarrassed even thinking about it. No wonder the emperor was so angry.
Zhu Sheng said angrily: "As an official of the imperial court, it is your duty to protect the people of Li, but it would be better for you to let the deputy general lead thousands of soldiers and horses to oppress the people. What do you want the people to think? They may even think that this is This is what I did by default!”
"I am guilty, and I deserve to die for my crime. Please give me the death penalty, your Majesty."
Zhu Sheng snorted coldly: "Death? I won't take advantage of you so easily."
Three days later, the emperor issued an order to seal up the Heroic General's Mansion. Wei Zhiping was dismissed from his post and sentenced to thirty years of cane punishment. The entire family was exiled three thousand miles to the north of Kubei and was never allowed to return to Beijing.
Wei Zhiping had no father, no mother, and no biological brothers. The so-called whole family consisted of him, Jin Qiaoru, and their two children.
When the officers and soldiers rushed into the Wei Mansion, Jin Qiaoru was still dreaming that her husband would come back safe and sound, and that the General's Mansion could also be preserved.
It's a pity that when the bright imperial edict was placed in front of her eyes, she realized that it was over, everything was over.
Wei Zhiping is a good husband and a good general. The only bad thing is that he has a stupid wife and a past that he cannot erase.
Because of this past, he had no choice but to give in to his wife's strong coercion many times, causing the good Wei Mansion to become what it is today.
When Jin Qiaoru saw her husband who had passed out from being tortured with a cane, she finally began to regret that she should not have put her husband in a dilemma over and over again in order to protect her ineffective younger brother. , all turned into nothing.
Jin Qiaoru was so ashamed that she no longer had the face to face Wei Zhiping and her two newly grown children, so she hanged herself in her room.
After Wei Zhiping woke up, he learned that his wife had committed suicide and was seriously ill. On the way to Kubei, she failed to survive and died on the way.
After Zhu Sheng learned about it, he pardoned Wei Zhiping's two children, exempted them from the battle in Kubei, and allowed them to return to their hometown without entering Beijing.
