Through the troubled times and famine, I just want to farm peacefully

Wang Tingshan avoided the question and turned to ask about Wang.

"Is my niece at home?"

"Here I am."

"Then could you please let her come out and let me meet her?" Wang Tingshan's tone was kind, like the earnest care of an elder for a younger generation.

Yun Zhenchuan couldn't guess what his intention was, so he said to the servant beside him, "Go and get the madam!"

Wang Fengzhen quickly followed the servants out, greeted Wang Tingshan, and sat down next to Yun Zhenchuan.

Wang Tingshan glanced at Yun Zhenchuan with satisfaction, stroking his beard and saying, "In the blink of an eye, you and my niece have been married for more than 20 years. I was busy with government affairs before, and I didn't even have the chance to drink a glass of your wedding wine. I'm really ashamed!"

Hearing him say this, Wang Fengzhen's eyes suddenly became red. Last year, she received a letter from her parents at home, saying that they followed the direct branch and went south to join the main branch of the Wang family of Dongyue.

The head of the family once asked her parents about her situation, and the family finally took good care of her parents and family out of her consideration.

"It is an honor for my niece that the head of the family has come all the way to visit."

After some pleasantries and three cups of tea, Wang Tingshan finally told the purpose of his trip.

"The imperial court moved the capital to Jiankang, the emperor was seriously ill, the crown prince was the regent, the government was controlled by treacherous villains such as the prime minister, the territory was lost, the national power was gradually weakening, the financial resources were in trouble, the heavy taxes were getting heavier, the Central Plains was engulfed in war, it was like hell, the people were exposed to the wilderness, the entire Great Yan country was only one in ten alive, the people were living in misery..."

Wang Tingshan made an impassioned speech, denouncing the current court's shortcomings.

Yun Zhenchuan frowned when he heard this, and had vaguely guessed the purpose of Wang Tingshan's visit.

Wang Tingshan said this until his mouth was dry, so he picked up the teacup and drank it all in one gulp. He raised his eyelids and looked at Yun Zhenchuan, who was frowning and thinking silently.

After so much preparation, he no longer concealed the purpose of his trip and directly stated it.

"My Dongyue Wang family has united with the troops of other noble families and assembled an army of 200,000 refugees. We are ready to march north to eliminate the treacherous and corrupt officials, clear the emperor's side and rectify the government!"

Yun Zhenchuan understood, that is, to rebel in the name of clearing the court of corrupt officials!

"Lord Wang is truly a man of noble character!" he praised against his will.

"It is the unshirkable responsibility of a minister to restore order."

Yun Zhenchuan lowered his eyelids. It was the first time he had seen rebellion being described in such a righteous manner.

Even after saying so much, Yun Zhenchuan still refused to express his opinion, so Wang Tingshan said directly, "I hope that a loyal minister like my nephew-in-law can join us and contribute to the court."

Yun Zhenchuan's heart skipped a beat, and he was somewhat flattered and said, "I am only a governor with little real power, and my contribution is really limited. I wonder what Lord Wang needs me to do?"

"You don't need to spend too much effort, niece. We need the tax grain from the South as reserve military rations. In addition, I heard that your niece's husband's two nephews are also in the South. They were trained by your father himself. They are natural generals and are brave and good at fighting. If they are the vanguard generals and lead the 200,000 troops to the north, we will be halfway to success."

Yun Zhenchuan sucked in a breath of cold air. Wang Tingshan was quite arrogant. He wanted to make the entire Southland his stepping stone.

"What do you think, nephew-in-law?"

Yun Zhenchuan didn't want to offend him, so he quickly stood up and apologized, "Lord Wang, please forgive me for being unable to do anything! The taxes and grain in the south are not decided by me alone. The Yu family is very powerful in the south, so we have to intervene in many things. I am just an empty title, without any real power."

"I'll trouble you to take care of your two nephews."

“That’s not right!”

"Huh?" A gleam of light flashed from Wang Tingshan's turbid eyes, and he stared at Yun Zhenchuan.

Yun Zhenchuan still looked respectful, but he had some calculations in his mind, "It is not something I can do to be the master of my two nephews. I have to ask the elder Wang in person."

Wang Tingshan looked at Wang Fengzhen who was sitting next to him, "I heard from your parents that you have a daughter who just came of age this year?"

"Yes, there is a concubine's daughter." Wang Fengzhen said respectfully.

"The head of the Liu family of the Dongyue clan is an old friend of mine. His second son just turned eighteen this year and has not yet arranged a marriage. If you are interested, I will go there in person to facilitate this marriage."

Wang Fengzhen looked at Yun Zhenchuan. She didn’t want to marry such a good woman as the daughter of that bitch.

"Thank you, Lord Wang, for your concern. However, my daughter is still young, and her elder sister got married at the age of 18. I plan to keep her for two more years." Yun Zhenchuan said.

The bait has been thrown out, but Yun Zhenchuan is still reluctant to take action and refuses to express his opinion.

Wang Tingshan was a little annoyed, but he knew that this matter should not be rushed.

"I have said what I need to say. Please think about it carefully, niece-in-law."

After saying this, he stood up and said goodbye, and the couple escorted him to the gate of the mansion.

Before getting in the car, he lifted the car curtain and took a deep look at Wang Fengzhen. A side branch is just a side branch and is of no use.

After entering the house, Wang Fengzhen, who was bent on currying favor with the powerful and wealthy and had lost face in front of the head of the direct branch of the family, took the lead in making trouble.

"Why don't you agree?"

"The Yun family is in decline, and they are the only three descendants of the eldest brother. They have finally escaped to the south to live and work in peace. If we agree, we will let them die!"

"The Wang family has joined forces with the Liu family in Dongyue and is becoming increasingly powerful. If we join them, it will be a great opportunity for our Yun family to rise. We will be granted favors in the near future!"

The more Wang Fengzhen thought about it, the more she felt that this was feasible. However, Yun Zhenchuan was afraid of wolves in front and tigers behind, and she felt a little disappointed with him.

Yun Zhentian has seen a lot of things clearly in the past two years. He sighed and said, "A general's success is built on the sacrifice of thousands of soldiers. Do we have to sacrifice their lives for the future of the Wang family? My Yun family doesn't want such an honor!"

"Why don't you think about the future of Yun Jing and Yun Ze?"

"You want Yun Jing and Yun Ze to eat the blood of their cousins? Bullshit about clearing the emperor's side. Has rebellion ever had a good ending in every dynasty?"

Yun Zhenchuan felt like he was going to go crazy because of this ignorant woman.

"Didn't you want to use Yun Mo to win over the Fan family before? Why are you setting up a good uncle persona here?" Wang Fengzhen retorted.

Yun Zhenchuan was furious and scolded her, "Don't mention the past! They finally escaped death, and you let them die for the sake of Wang's wealth and glory. I am the first one to disagree!"

Wang Fengzhen's eyes opened as big as copper bells, her legs went weak with fear, and she kept sobbing. She was also a person who would not admit defeat.

"Then let Yunyan marry to the Liu family of Dongyue."

"Dongyue is thousands of miles away from the South. I will not let Yan'er marry there to gain connections with your Wang family."

Wang Fengzhen saw through this selfish and cowardly man, "In the final analysis, you just don't want to help."

"Your Wang family is going to rebel, how can I help? I'm still confused. I've been married to you and moved to the South for many years. Your parents never said a word to you before, but last year they suddenly wrote to me frequently. It turns out that they want my Yun family to be your Wang family's pawns and scapegoats!"

"Yun Zhenchuan, you actually miss my parents so much!"

"This matter ends here. To avoid being implicated, from now on, do not have any dealings with the Dongyue Wang family."

Yun Zhenchuan said this and left with a flick of his sleeves. He had to write a letter quickly to tell the Yunye brothers so that they could make plans early.
