The Heavens: From Knowing Whether You Rule the World

Chapter 91: One word: derogatory!

Political struggles have always been brutal.

Compared to the bloody swords of military generals on the battlefield, the words of scholars have always killed people without bloodshed.

But, it was full of blood.

The Wang family made a huge wrong decision - bringing the matter of Gu Tingye and Chu Hong to the court.

Gu Tingye killed Wang Ruoyu, which naturally made the Wang family sad and angry.

However, there are also some sensible people in the Wang family who believe that Wang Ruoyu was indeed in the wrong, but the person is already dead and the matter should not be taken too seriously.

Gu Tingye’s murder makes people sad and angry, but he is also Sheng Minglan’s husband, and the two are relatives, so there is no need to bring these things to the court.

Rather than bringing the matter to court, the sensible Wang family members preferred to discuss these matters in private.

No matter how vicious Wang Ruoyu was, she was indeed killed by Gu Tingye.

Now that the Wang family is in decline, it would be better to find Gu Tingye and have a good talk.

Gu Tingye killed someone, so he should be given appropriate compensation.

The Wang family can use these compensations to grow a little stronger and keep the peace.

This plan was very popular within the Wang family, and even Wang Ruoyu's husband Kang Haifeng was inclined to this plan.

The person is dead. What’s the point even if Gu Tingye was really tripped?
Instead of doing that, it would be better to profit from it and solve the dilemma of the family's gradual decline.

At least, from the perspective of the overall situation and family interests, this is an excellent choice.

The matter of Chu Hong’s impeachment is actually even simpler.

Many elders of the Wang family have analyzed that it is the arrogant attitude of Old Lady Wang that makes people feel disgusted, and Wang Su's attitude of being neither close nor distant makes people no longer care about the relationship of relatives.

At that time, Chu Hong was a cabinet minister who was inspecting the country and the second in command of the civil service group. The top prime minister, Han Zhang, was his teacher.

In this case, to make a point of boosting others' prestige, even the old Grand Tutor of the Wang family during his prime might not be able to compare to him.

This kind of person is about twenty-eight or twenty-nine years old.

If you put on an arrogant attitude, it would be strange if people don't get annoyed.

The problem is easy to solve. All Mrs. Wang needs to do is come and apologize in person.

After all, Sheng Hualan is that man's legal wife, and Sheng Hualan is also the granddaughter of Old Master Wang. The Wang family is really very close to that man.

Chu Hong's eldest son, Chu Rui, actually also has Wang's bloodline.

In this situation, if one party gives in, the relatives can naturally get on with their business.

As for Wang Su's demotion.
Wang Suben had experience as a third-rank official. With his status, reinstatement was just a matter of a word.

In fact, if that person is in a good mood and wants to promote relatives, or wants to place his own people in some places, Wang Su will definitely be one of the top candidates.

This is also a way to prosper the Wang family.

Well, Mrs. Wang didn’t choose any of these suggestions.

Old Lady Wang is a local tyrant in the Wang family. She has a weak and obedient son, Wang Su. She always has the final say in the Wang family.

The family elders certainly have good ideas and opinions, but Mrs. Wang doesn't listen. What can you do?
Old Lady Wang was too fond of her eldest daughter, Wang Ruoyu. When she found out that Gu Tingye had killed her eldest daughter, she no longer cared about her eldest daughter's character or the interests of the family, and only thought about revenge.

In a rage, she sued Gu Tingye to the court.

The same is true for Chu Hong's case. Old Lady Wang has always been acting like a grand tutor and is used to being domineering in the local area. She did not change her mindset when facing Chu Hong, the cabinet minister.

When she learned that Chu Hong ignored her and even demoted Wang Su, she was furious and filed a complaint to the court.

The same thing has one nature when it is not in the court and another nature when it is in the court.

Before going to court, everyone is a relative, and no matter how tense the situation is, there is always room for maneuver.

For example, let Sheng Hong mediate and let Old Lady Sheng come forward.
However, in the imperial court, there is no distinction between relatives; the referee is the emperor, and the audience are the civil and military officials.

Once you enter the court, there will be winners and losers.

There is no doubt that Old Lady Wang lost.

It has been more than twenty years since the death of Old Master Wang.

In other words, Old Mrs. Wang has not been to Beijing for more than 20 years.

In the past twenty years, so much has changed that Old Master Wang's influence has long disappeared.

Old Lady Wang was just a woman and was unfamiliar with the political struggles in the court, so she brought the domestic struggles into the court.

She has two opponents, one of them is Marquis Gu Tingye who is a Jinshi, and she can barely fend him off by cheating.

One is Chu Hong, who is a master in the cabinet and a top figure in civil servant debate. She couldn't withstand even two sentences.

How can we not lose in this situation?

The Wang family fell into decline, and Old Master Wang became the first person in the history of the Zhou Dynasty to be carried out of the Imperial Ancestral Temple, where he enjoyed offerings and worship from the emperor.

At that time, there were many famous ministers and high-ranking officials in the period of Grand Tutor Wang, and the famous Fan Wencheng was also a person of that era.

In addition to Fan Wencheng, there were several other famous ministers and cabinet ministers who were renowned throughout the world.

No matter how you look at it, it is not the turn of Old Grand Tutor Wang to offer sacrifices to the Imperial Temple.

Well. As a result, Fan Wencheng's reform failed, and Han Zhang of that time petitioned the emperor to dismiss four prime ministers.

Everything was cleared out in an instant, and there was not a single powerful boss left, as they all experienced being demoted.

The competition suddenly became much smaller, and since Old Master Wang had more seniority, he took the position!
To be honest, it's a bit moist!

There was some controversy surrounding the entry of Old Grand Tutor Wang into the Imperial Ancestral Temple.

However, at that time, Renzong had just won the battle against the Queen Mother and had just assumed power, so he was eager to demonstrate his influence.

This is a bit similar to Zhao Zongquan's intention to push Chu Hong to the position of prime minister. If you win, you have to act like a winner.

Therefore, the matter was settled, and Old Master Wang successfully moved into the Taimiao.

The influence of Old Master Wang is really average, and his faction is short-lived, not as good as the other factions that have existed since the founding of the country.

But, he did it.

Theoretically, there is limited space in the Temple of Heaven. If it is full, the system will be one person in and one person out.

There was such a saying in the previous dynasty: when it is full, move forward one step and step back one step.

However, no matter what you say, it is actually unlikely to carry out someone for no reason.

Now, the Great Zhou Dynasty has gone through five kings, and Zhao Zongquan's dynasty has not taken any action yet, so in fact it has only been four dynasties.

Throughout the four dynasties, there were less than ten big men who lived in the Taimiao, which was enough to accommodate one old Tai Shi Wang!
In other words, as long as the Wang family lives in peace, Old Master Wang will be worshipped by generations.

Well, it came out this time.

One emperor and one courtier.

Zhao Zongquan, a descendant of Taizu, ascended the throne and secured his seat on the imperial throne. The two master and apprentice Chu Hong and Han Zhang and Gu Tingye were the key figures.

As the prime minister, Han Zhang's clear bias made the party struggle a foregone conclusion.

In the future, it is a foregone conclusion that Han Zhang will enter the Taimiao.

Even after being enshrined in the Taimiao, the value of Han Zhang will increase.

The bloodline of Taizu has regained control of the country, and in the future it is destined to expand the idea that the bloodline of Taizu is the orthodox one. It is also necessary to consider the relationship between the bloodline of Taizu and the bloodline of Taizong.

The two masters, Chu Hong and Han Zhang, are characters from the alternating period.

Han Zhang was the descendant of Taizong and ruled the world during the reign of Renzong, while Chu Hong was the descendant of Taizu and ruled the world.

The two masters and apprentices will be the most praised people by emperors in the future, in order to prove the stability of Taizu's dynasty and the orthodox succession.

These two people are destined to be highly praised when Taizu's bloodline takes the throne.

What the hell is Master Wang? How dare he do such a thing?
Old Grand Tutor Wang removed the title of Grand Tutor and was removed from the Imperial Ancestral Temple.

Naturally, Old Lady Wang's title of First-Rank Lady was also taken back.

A woman's imperial edict generally grows along with her husband or offspring.

Now that Old Master Wang is gone, she is naturally gone too.

The Wang family was also implicated and falsely accused top officials of the time, which was a serious crime.

If the emperor is not merciful, confiscating property and exterminating the entire family would be the least severe punishment.

The Wang family was not allowed to hold official positions for three generations. They had no power and were doomed to be ruined.

Not everyone is the master and disciple Chu Hong and Han Zhang. It is not only a story that will be passed down through the ages, but also represents political correctness, and its influence will foreseeably spread to kings of all generations.

Old Master Wang, how miserable!
Xiao Qinshi was involved in false accusations, but she did have the title of stepmother of Ningyuan Hou, so the punishment was not that severe. She was just stripped of her imperial edict.

However, her son was destined to have no chance of inheriting the title, and she was destined to live the rest of her life under the shadow of Gu Tingye, which was more painful than killing her.

Gu Tingye’s third uncle from the third branch of the Gu family was exiled, and he didn’t have an imperial edict to protect himself from harm.

Da Zong Zheng didn't step forward this time, but that doesn't mean he's okay.

The emperors all have different bloodlines. Zhao Zongquan is from Taizu's bloodline. Does he need a grand ancestor from Taizong's bloodline?
A few days after this incident, all kinds of negative information about Da Zongzheng was impeached in the court.

The emperor didn't even bother to act, and didn't even read the contents of the impeachment.

In one word, derogatory!
