Spoiling my mistress and swallowing my dowry? After my rebirth, I changed my marriage to a powerful

The harder a person's hearing is, the louder he speaks, and the whole court looks at him.

Wei Shixun had to pretend to be calm and said to Lord Cheng En with a smile: "Lord Leng found a secret guard training base deep in the mountains of Daqing Mountain and destroyed it."

Duke Cheng'en heard it clearly, he became unsteady on his feet and his vision became dizzy.

If we talk about the destruction of King Cheng Li Hu's weapons smelting den and armory a few days ago, it was like cutting off one arm of his arm. The destruction of the secret guard base in Daqing Mountain was like tearing out his heart and lungs.

Even though those trained here are not real secret guards, they are all masters who can fight ten people at once, and they are the blood supply station of Wei's elite battalion.

But it’s going to cost me my life.

Duke Cheng'en was staggering, and His Majesty said calmly: "Duke Cheng'en is not feeling well. Someone, take Duke Cheng'en down to rest."

Duke Cheng'en still wanted to hold on, but two eunuchs came over and helped him away.

Leng Luo immediately said loudly to His Majesty: "Your Majesty, all the thieves captured this time have pointed out that the master behind the Daqingshan Dark Guard Training Base is Wei Shixun."

Wei Shixun strongly denied it, saying that he was originally only responsible for the Grand Canal project of the court and had never been to Daqingshan.

Leng Luo presented the interrogation statements one by one.

Before he escorted the leader to Beijing, he had already interrogated all the witnesses, for fear that something might happen on the way to Beijing and the witnesses would be killed.

The evidence was irrefutable. Leng Luo sneered and said, "Wei Shixun, how many people did your Wei clan send to assassinate me along the way? Fortunately, I destroyed your secret guard base, otherwise, I would not be able to return to the court alive. If you are not convinced, I can take you to the Imperial City Office for a confrontation."

"Confrontation! Your Majesty, I demand a confrontation." Wei Shixun roared, his eyes red, "I didn't do it."

His Majesty looked at him coldly and said, "I believe Commander Leng will not wrongly accuse you. Come, put Wei Shixun in the death row."

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I am innocent..."

No matter how he shouts, drag him away!

Wei Shixun was dragged away, and Wei's spies immediately got the news.

The Queen immediately went to the Queen Mother's palace and told her what happened. The Queen Mother had suffered a stroke and could not move or speak, and she was so anxious that she kept crying.

The Queen pondered and said, "Mother, Your Majesty has destroyed our foundation in one fell swoop this time, and has obtained solid evidence. Xun'er is the best of this generation of the Wei family, and he must not be harmed. We have no choice but to sacrifice one person."

The Queen Mother murmured, and the Queen understood that she agreed with her opinion.

After leaving the Empress Dowager's palace, they went to find Duke Cheng'en. The Wei family held an urgent discussion. The old lady, Duke Cheng'en, and the Empress all knelt outside His Majesty's study and begged for mercy.

His Majesty will not see them. Tell them that the people in the secret guard base have admitted that they were responsible for the killing of court officials in Kyoto and other places.

He is so cruel and evil, and his crimes are so monstrous that we cannot appease the public anger unless we kill him.

The people around the Queen Mother asked His Majesty again and again, saying that the Queen Mother was seriously ill and asked His Majesty to go and see her. However, His Majesty did not even bother to send the imperial physician and instead beat whoever came to report this.

Wei begged desperately and finally had no choice but to produce the red book and iron certificate and push Wei Anlu, the second son of Duke Cheng'en and Wei Shixun's uncle, to take the blame.

Wei Anlu admitted to everything. He was the one who set up the base and was the man behind it. He was responsible for all the assassinations, including the one fifteen years ago when he bribed the old ghost, the coach of the Royal Secret Guard base, and took away 200 elite secret guards and killed them all.

Your Majesty knew that he was the scapegoat that the Wei family had solemnly introduced. How could this idiot and playboy have such a good plan? These smooth and detailed confessions could only show the viciousness and arrogance of the Wei family.

This is a naked provocation to Your Majesty.

His Majesty secretly summoned Gu Shaoyu, Liu Ge Lao, Xie Anfeng, Leng Luo and other trusted ministers. They all agreed that the head that comes to the door must be killed!

Gu Shaoyu: "I think we should take this opportunity to take back the red-lettered iron certificate, military power, and market management rights of the Wei family; kill Wei Anlu; Wei Shixun can be spared the death penalty, but he cannot escape the punishment of life, so give him a beating, and let the general of Qianniu Guard do it himself."

"Okay." This beating was not an ordinary beating.

Liu Ge Lao said: "I think that Duke Cheng En should reflect on his mistakes in the palace for half a year, and take this opportunity to purge the political leaders of the Wei family."

Xie Anfeng said: "The crown prince and the Wei family are in cahoots, and there are many people who fail to accomplish anything and are more likely to cause trouble. Should we take this opportunity to quickly replace a group of them?"

Your Majesty, you must approve it. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. We must quickly and accurately carry out a major reshuffle inside and outside the court.

In fact, if the Northwest Jiedushi Wei Anyuan had not been too powerful to be eliminated, he would have wanted to exterminate all nine clans of the Wei family this time.

At present, the best way is not to confront head-on, nor to gamble, but to replace evil with virtue.

Not long after the heads of the secret guards were escorted to Beijing, the royal family posted a notice: Wei Anlu raised assassins and killed loyal officials. His crimes are extremely heinous and he will be beheaded on May 15th!

Wei Anlu was pushed into the street and paraded through the streets for public display, and then he was beheaded along with all the leaders of the secret guard bases.

The Wei family used almost all their connections to protect Wei Shixun. In addition to the red-lettered iron certificate, they also handed over part of their military power, gave up the salt fields, and the management rights of the salt fields on the northwestern border where they traded with neighboring countries such as the Western Xia and the Uighurs were all taken back by the imperial court.

This time, Wei was severely skinned and his flesh was dug out.

In prison, because Wei Shixun had many spies, he lived more comfortably than at home.

Knowing that Wei Anlu died for him, the collusion in testimony went particularly smoothly.

Your Majesty pretended to be ignorant. After Wei Anlu was executed, Your Majesty summoned Wei Shixun to the palace.

"Wei Shixun, although you are not the main culprit, your crime is unforgivable. Your great-grandmother, grandparents, the Queen Mother, the Empress, Princess Xiyan, Princess Yurong, and even the Crown Prince who is under house arrest, have all asked people to plead for you. If I kill you again, it would seem that I am too petty. So, I will give you thirty strokes of the cane. Are you willing to accept this?"

"I, your humble servant, thank you for your grace."

This punishment, not only for Wei Shixun himself, but also for the entire Wei family, felt that His Majesty was extremely merciful.

Anyone who committed such a crime would be beheaded and his entire clan exterminated.

However, when he heard His Majesty say calmly: "Let General Wei Ziying of the Qianniu Guard personally carry out the punishment!"

The Wei family was stunned. They bribed all the imperial guards on duty today, but they didn't expect that it would be General Wei himself who would give the beatings.

The blow with the board was so skillful that the flesh beneath the skin was rotten, but the surface skin was not broken.

After being beaten with ten boards, Wei Shixun passed out.

What the Wei family didn't know for the time being was that after the fight, General Wei privately reported to His Majesty: "Both of his legs are disabled."

The spanking was on the buttocks, and if it went a little bit upwards, it would injure the waist, not only paralyzing the lower limbs, but also losing the ability to have children.

Among the grandsons of Duke Cheng'en, the two most outstanding descendants, one literary and one military, Wei Shixun and Wei Shining, both had their legs broken.

Among the rest of the younger generations, there are not many who stand out.

The new force of the Wei family, the gap!

In teahouses and wine shops, rumors swept through the capital like a spring breeze, saying that Wei Anlu knew nothing, that all the bad things were done by Wei Shixun, and that Wei Anlu was just a scapegoat...

Xie Zhaozhao listened to Yuanyuan's report of the rumors in Kyoto and said to Yuanyuan, "I want to meet Xiaoxin. I have a task for him."
