Chapter 299 Wu Brothers
Wu Zetian is a typical Chinese politician, ruthless and ruthless. No matter whether it is a son or a grandson, as long as he makes her unhappy or blocks her way, he will be killed. There will be no talk of family affection and gentleness - but no one will be angry with her. That's it. This kind of cold-blooded personality, which is ruthless and cruel, and regards family members as mortal enemies, must have been formed from a certain crucial reason.
In the palace, in order to compete for favor and love, there are all kinds of conspiracies and plots to attack and frame people, and it is most dirty and despicable. In order to get ahead, or even to save her life, Wu Zetian fought her way out in such a precarious environment. What she experienced must have been an extremely cruel process, which must have played a decisive factor in the formation of her character.
But the most critical period for the formation of a person's character is during his childhood.
Wu Zetian's father, the warrior Xun, originally married the Xiangli family and gave birth to brothers Wu Yuanqing and Wu Yuanshuang. Later, he remarried to the Yang family and gave birth to Wu Zetian's three sisters. This is supposed to be a relatively peaceful and happy traditional family. Yang is young and beautiful, so he must be favored by the warrior Xun, and Yang's three daughters should also be favored.
However, when Wu Zetian was thirteen years old, the warrior Xun died of illness, and everything changed.
Fang Jun never asked Wu Meiniang how her life was during that period, and he had never seen any description of Wu Meiniang in this period in history books in his previous life. However, he could get an idea of what happened to the Wu family after Wu Meiniang came to power.
First there was Wu Yuanqing, who was exiled to Longzhou and died of worry. In fact, he was scared to death. Then there is Wu Yuanshuang. He was exiled to Zhenzhou. The history books did not say that he was scared to death, but it also did not say that he was not scared to death...
That's not all. At that time, the warrior Yu was probably living with his elder brother, and the family was not separated. The uncle's two sons, Wu Weiliang and Wu Huaiyun, could not escape the bad luck. In addition to the two brothers who were killed by Wu Meiniang, there was also an eldest brother, Wu Huailiang, who died long ago.
However, for Wu Zetian, who was cold-blooded and ruthless after taking power, death was not an option. She kidnapped Wu Huailiang's wife Shanshi into the palace as a slave, and beat the widowed woman with thorns every day. His back was all bruised, with every bone exposed. Shanshi died wailing in great pain.
How much hatred must he have to kill his brothers like this?
It should be seen from this that for Wu Meiniang, this will definitely not be a happy memory...
**********
There were faint voices coming from the back hall. Fang Jun walked over directly. Before he reached the door, he heard a shout.
A young male voice said: "Bitch! I am your brother, how dare you be so disrespectful? You have no respect for me! If you are still in the palace, you may be made a concubine one day, and we still have to look up to you. Now it is just A concubine has no brothers and no filial piety. Who gives you the courage?”
Another person helped: "Fang Jun has been granted the title of Marquis, and he will inevitably have many wives and concubines in the future. The lady in charge is also His Majesty's princess. You are just a concubine, how can you compete for favor? Now there is no one around Fang Jun. He is just talking sweet words." To please you, I will leave the price terminal business to you, but once you get married, not to mention Fang Jun, not even Her Royal Highness will tolerate you controlling the Fang family’s money and food. The power must be taken back. At that time, will he pamper you again? It is true that a woman takes her husband as her guide, but the support of her mother-in-law is also important. Otherwise, who will think highly of you instead of having your power of money and food taken away in the future? It's better to get some benefits from it now. Your eldest brother is not an outsider and will support you in the future. How dare the Fang family treat you poorly?"
This man's tone was soft and slow, and his analysis was quite reasonable.
Is this to trick Wu Meimei into distracting herself and line her own pockets?
The Fang family was silent for a moment and did not go in.
Immediately, Wu Meiniang's clear and crisp voice sounded, and her tone was slightly excited: "Now you call yourself brother and recognize me as your sister? When my father passed away, who drove us mother and daughter to the woodshed and didn't even have three meals a day? Food and clothing? Who wants to marry my mother to another family to receive money? Who wants to sell me to an old man to gain official status? My mother and daughter have been bullied by you, but they have no thought of blood. Blood relatives? Now that I am in charge of my husband's family's money and food, I pass countless money every day, and I look for it like a fly that has seen blood. If you want to benefit, have you ever thought about my kindness? Yes, but if I agree to you, how can Mei Niang be so shameless as to see you again? You don’t need to say more, just give up on this!”
Later, Wu Meiniang's tone became sharper and sharper, she seemed furious and refused flatly.
The man from earlier was obviously furious and said angrily: "How presumptuous! Are you so rude to your brother? You are such a bitch, do you want someone to teach you a lesson?"
Wu Meiniang said with a tearful voice: "I have recommended myself to the palace. Now as a concubine, I just want to live a stable life. Why are you still refusing to let me go?"
Immediately afterwards, a burst of low sobbing came from the house.
Fang Jun suppressed his anger and kicked open the door.
The people in the room were startled.
Wu Meiniang was standing in the hall weeping. She looked up in shock. When she saw Fang Jun's gloomy black face, she felt as if she had discovered some secret. She turned pale with fright, and two drops of tears were still hanging on her long eyelashes. It's quite a bit of panic and shock, like pear blossoms with rain.
Fang Jun glanced at her and turned his attention to the other two people.
A young man in a brocade robe sat carelessly in the front seat, with a square face and thick eyebrows, and a rather heroic appearance. At this moment, he looked at Fang Jun who kicked in the door with a look of astonishment on his face.
The other one is wearing a scribe's robe, sitting at the bottom, with a white face and no beard, and a feminine aura.
Fang Jun grinned and sneered: "You two are so elegant that you actually went to Fang's house to teach Fang's family a lesson. You are very like Meng Chang who is anxious for justice and loves justice. Not bad, not bad!"
The two stood up quickly. The young man in brocade robe was older and had an embarrassed look on his face. He held up his hands first and said, "It made Erlang laugh. My little sister has a naughty temper and poor tutoring, so I spoke a little harshly."
Fang Jun snorted: "I wonder what you call them?"
The young man in brocade robes said: "I'm Wu Yuanqing, this is my younger brother Wu Yuanshuang, the elder brother of Mei Niang. I came to the door rashly today. I'm not polite. Please don't blame me for asking Erlang."
What he said was very decent, not as overbearing as he had just said to Wu Mei Niang.
Of course, he cannot be overbearing...
His father, the warrior Yu, served as the commander of the Yingyang Mansion in the last years of the Sui Dynasty. Later, he broke up his family and funded Li Yuan's army, thus making his fortune. In Wudezhong, he was appointed as the Minister of the Ministry of Industry and transferred to the Governor of Jingzhou, and was awarded the title of Ying Guogong, which is also considered an honor. In the sixth year of Zhenguan, His Majesty Li Er appointed the warrior Xun as the governor of Jingzhou and moved his family to Jingzhou.
The Wu brothers were rampant in Jingzhou and deserved the title of dandy. It's a pity that the warrior Xun died early, and his family property was almost completely lost to these two brothers, and his momentum was no longer what it used to be.
And who is Fang Jun in front of them?
We are all dudes, but none of their brothers can survive in Jingzhou, but Fang Jun is thriving in Chang'an. Not only is his father Fang Xuanling the Prime Minister in charge of the government, but Fang Jun is also the future emperor's son-in-law. Chang'an's top dandy...
There are also levels of dandies.
Fang Jun didn't even look at Wu Yuanqing. He walked over and sat down at the main seat given by Wu Yuanqing. He said calmly: "Just outside the door, I heard that the two of you were acting aggressively, as if you wanted to force Mei Niang to do something. I don't know. What's the matter? Meiniang is a prostitute and can't make the decision. If you two have any ideas, why don't you tell me?"
Hearing this, Wu Yuanqing hurriedly said: "Erlang misunderstood, our brothers..." When he looked up, he met Fang Jun's sharp, knife-like gaze. He was immediately frightened, and he couldn't finish the second half of his words...
Fang Jun said in a deep voice: "If something happens, just say it to your face. No matter whether it succeeds or not, I won't take it to heart. But if you are playing tricks behind your back, don't blame me for not caring about feelings! By then, I'm afraid the two of you will It's too late to regret..."
He now deals with His Majesty Li Er all day long, and he interacts with all the important officials in the court. Unknowingly, his power is growing, and his official power is three points more powerful than in his previous life. The Wu brothers were actually suppressed by him and could not hold their heads up!
Wu Yuanshuang, who had just been coaxing and frightening the lotus, dared not say a word at this time... (End of Chapter)
