The New Biography of Han Lingdi

Chapter 79

"We haven't been face-to-face like this for a long time." Wang Chang seemed to think of everything he had experienced before. He was a man with vicious eyes.

When Wang Meng was still a young man in his 20s, he knew that his younger brother had dimples in his chest.His talent is unparalleled in the world, and he naturally understands that Wang Xu's talent can definitely be the prime minister of a country, but now everything is because Liu Hong is young, Liu Hong doesn't want Wang Xu to show up so early, and in the end he can only wrong Wang Xu.

But if Liu Hong reaches a certain age and installs his cronies, then Wang Xu will definitely be ranked first.

"It's been almost 20 years, and life is like a dream." Wang Xu sighed with emotion that the world is changing, and 20 years have turned the man who was indomitable into a terminally ill old man.

"I have one thing to ask you." Wang Chang said solemnly, staring closely at Wang Xu's eyes.She knew that Wang Meng might not agree, but he still wanted to say that he couldn't be careless about the life and death of the Wang family.

"Tell me." Wang Xu could think of what Wang Chang wanted to say. He originally came to Wang's house today just to have a look at Wang Chang, but Wang Chang wanted to drag him into the Wang family's camp. Even so, who could refuse? What about a terminally ill old man?
"Although the Wang family now has Wang Meng in the inner court, Wang Meng is still young after all. Besides, you know that everyone in the inner court is extremely talented, so it is said that Wang Meng will not make it to the top without 20 years. In time, the Yuan family, the Li family, and the Yang family may annex us."

"I hope that after I die, you can help me help the Wang family, because of the place where you were born, and because of our kindness back then." Wang Chang is not an imperial minister now, but now he is just an ordinary man who cares about the family. elder.Wang Chang took Wang Xu's hand and persuaded him.

Some of Wang Chang's eyes were only pleading. He had been in poor health for these years, but he never thought that he would suddenly fall ill. All of this was caught off guard.He didn't have much time to arrange his funeral at all.

"Back then, if those family elders hadn't pressed forward step by step, how could things have reached this level now." Wang Meng doesn't know how to answer this question now.
Now if Wang Meng passed away, the danger the Wang family would face would definitely not be a trivial matter. Following Murong Han and Li Keyong's victory in suppressing the rebels, the generals, big and small, who participated in this war would definitely be rewarded for their achievements.

Murong Han, as the main general, will definitely be in the eyes of the ruling and opposition parties. In addition, Murong's family is Liu Hong's staunch supporters, so Murong Han's position will definitely undergo a leap forward promotion.

Li Keyong is naturally Liu Hong's direct confidant. Although he is not from an aristocratic family, Liu Hong has always attached great importance to him. With this war, so many generals began to enter the army one after another to control the army.

In this way, the interests of the aristocratic family will inevitably be reduced. Maybe they don't have the ability and courage to compete with the emperor for benefits, but they may not be able to let go of other fat meat. After Wang Chang's death, the Wang family is a piece of cake in their eyes. Biggest meat.But Wang Xu didn't want to participate in this matter either.

After returning from suppressing the rebellion this time, Liu Hong's prestige has further increased, and his plan will start step by step.

At that time, if the Wang family did not have Wang Chang, and Wang Xu did not participate in this matter, then in this huge division of interests, the Wang family would probably have nothing, and the next step would be to become a weakling in the top family.

"It may have been their fault at the beginning, but we are brothers after all, and I think you can understand their intentions. The century-old inheritance of the Wang family is in your hands." Wang Chang said this with effort.

"I can only keep your children, and I will even do my best to let them take over, and I don't care about others." Wang Xu now understands the behavior of the Wang family back then, but he can't forgive those who let a family go for the glory of the so-called family. The act of life and death.

It was his last concession to save Wang Chang's children. This is because of Wang Chang's rescue of him. Otherwise, Wang Xu would not care about the struggles of these aristocratic families. Now Liu Hong dare not participate. In the family struggle, we can only win over a group and attack some.

At this time, his participation will mean endless troubles.But for Wang Chang, he decided to keep Wang Chang's children.

Maybe he can't participate in the entire Wang family, but he still has the confidence to protect the few children.Otherwise, he would have been in vain for so many years.

Looking at Wang Xu's firm gaze, Wang Chang knew that this was his biggest concession from Wang Xu, and he did not force Wang Xu anymore, "So, everything will be left to you. What will be your majesty's next move?" Wang Chang Somewhat curious, at the beginning Liu Hong obviously made big moves, but because of the rebellion, he had to focus on countering the rebellion.
Now that the counter-insurgency is successful, there are no major issues in the country, and the famine has begun to ease. All the forms are so good, and there is still a cabinet temptation. Most of the officials will definitely be behind Liu Hong. Liu Hong will definitely will do something.

"Your Majesty will make major changes to the military system and the court structure. Now he is ready to discuss it with the cabinet and others." This news will be announced soon. With the strength of the Wang family, Wang Meng cannot hide this news from Wang Chang in the inner court. .

"In this way, the old man missed an era." Wang Chang knew that he had no chance to see it, and now he was at the end of his life, and there was no time at all.

"Don't think too much, now you just need to recuperate well, when the time comes, the cabinet will still have you." Wang Xu comforted.Now he can only comfort in this way, otherwise, he doesn't know what to say.

"Birth, old age, sickness and death are the normal state of life. The old man sees it away, so there is no need to persuade me. Wang Meng is now in the inner courtyard, and I don't have to worry about it in the future. As long as he is diligent and diligent, it should not be difficult to get ahead. If there are successors, life will not be too much. That's it." Wang Chang said.

"It must be good to have an open-minded attitude. Let's take a good rest next time. Just avoid minor illnesses and disasters." Wang Xu said.Wang Xu took the tea next to him and drank it.

"This tea is sweet and refreshing, with endless aftertaste. It is indeed the best tea." Wang Chang said.

"That's true. Now tea, cigarettes, spirits, and sea salt are the most profitable industries in the whole big man." Wang Xu continued along with the words.

"But I feel that these industries belong to one person." Wang Chang said to himself.

Hearing this sentence, Wang Xu raised his head faintly, a little amazed at Wang Chang's judgment.

"Thinking about it, you are also asking for leave from His Majesty, so I won't keep you. Take care of everything. Everything will be left to you," Wang Chang said.

"Then, take care." Wang Xu said.
