Chapter 107: Civil strife in the Ning Wang family
At this moment, King Ning looked at his thirty-five sons in front of him and felt like crying but had no tears.
He is 58 years old this year, and his eldest son is almost 40 years old. He is born to his first wife.
The youngest son, only two and a half years old, was born to his most beloved concubine in recent years.
After all, he was a self-righteous man, and he had no doubt that he could still have a son at the age of fifty.
As long as she is his woman, any child born to her is his son.
It is easier to have children with more women, so he has more than fifty women.
Having more sons makes it easier to get things done and support the family business. He has thirty-five sons and twenty-eight daughters.
It can be said that the family is prosperous and the business is great.
Every son, whether leading troops, doing business, or managing land, can be put to good use. After all, only his own children can be trusted.
But now, he realized that having too many sons might not be a good thing.
Thirty-five sons were kneeling in front of him. The eldest son had a haggard face, and the youngest son at the back was looking around for milk.
Ning Wang Yan Zhen stood up, looked at them coldly and said,
"Children, I believe you have all learned about the new policies recently promulgated by the court, right?"
The sons knelt on the ground, raised their heads and nodded.
Then, King Ning continued,
"I don't care about other people's affairs. Even if their heads are broken, it has nothing to do with our family.
The empress was bewitched by a treacherous person and listened to the words of a commoner, and killed the powerful people. She was a typical example of favoring villains and distancing wise ministers. She also wanted to reform the new policy and let others share the property of the princes!
Of course, I am only saying this to you sons. If anyone dares to say a single word outside this door, I will skin him alive!"
"We will obey our father's orders!"
The sons answered in unison, their expressions extremely respectful.
King Ning nodded in satisfaction and continued,
"What happens in the capital has nothing to do with us, but here, I am the king and I have the final say in everything!
All systems will be implemented according to the old system of Taizu. Boss, you are my crown prince and have all the inheritance rights. There is no doubt about that! Furthermore, Boss has done very well over the years. I am very satisfied. Don't even think about shaking his position, let alone harboring any evil intentions!
As for you, I have made proper arrangements for each of you. For those of you who are good at business, I will manage your family businesses.
Those who are good at fighting will be either generals or captains in the army, and the military power will be given to you.
If you want something, go for it with your ability. Come to me and ask for it. I will give you everything I can.
You must remember that you are all family and brothers. There is no one closer than you in this world. You are the people who trust each other the most and you are each other's brothers and sisters.
Outsiders can never be trusted. They have no blood relationship with you and will not be of the same mind as you!
Therefore, you must unite as one to fight against foreign enemies, whether it is the Kun Kingdom in the south or those wicked jackals in the north.
understand? "
The jackals in the north naturally refer to the imperial court.
"I'll understand later!"
The sons answered in unison.
"Alright, that's all I have to say. The chaos in other people's homes doesn't mean we have any chance. We should just wait and see what happens."
"Everyone, go down and do your work."
"I'll take my leave."
The sons all left the hall and relaxed as soon as they reached the door. The brothers talked and laughed, played and played with each other, creating a harmonious atmosphere.
Seeing his sons being so friendly and respectful to each other, King Ning nodded with relief.
It’s good to have many sons, and brothers are united.
Thinking of this, he went back to the backyard to raise his son.
However, late at night, after he had made the baby, he fell into a deep sleep, when he was suddenly awakened by a loud shouting and killing.
He immediately got up, put on his clothes, and shouted at the person who had come.
"Your Highness! This is bad! The Second, Third, and Fourth Young Masters have rebelled. They brought three thousand soldiers and horses with them. They first killed His Highness the Crown Prince, and are now charging towards the palace."
The guard who came in reported loudly.
"What? Rebellion? And killing the boss?"
Upon hearing this news, King Ning almost fainted from anger and roared,
"Mobilize the troops! Put down the rebellion! Skin these three bastards alive!"
"Your Highness, the Fifth, Sixth, Seventh, and Eighth Young Masters have already led their troops to quell the rebellion, and they are now engaged in battle."
"Fuck, these four bastards are unreliable. I will personally command the troops!"
King Ning went out, holding a sword and leading a large group of people to the street, where he saw two groups of soldiers fighting fiercely.
In the middle are his seven sons fighting each other.
"Second brother, third brother, fourth brother, are you all crazy? Hurry up and lay down your weapons and let everyone surrender. Those who died are our soldiers!"
Lao Wu beat and shouted loudly.
"Fifth and Sixth Brothers, you're crazy. There's no turning back! The imperial court has issued the Enfeoffment Order, but that old bastard, Father, still wants to control everything by himself and let that beast, the eldest brother, inherit everything.
Fuck him, what's the right? We are all sons. Just because his eldest son was born a few days earlier, he should have everything and we should be his subjects?
We're all born from the same father, so why? The imperial court knows this is wrong and has already implemented reforms, so why does this old man still have the final say?
"Second brother! Don't be so stubborn. If you surrender now, we can help you speak well of this to our father and plead for mercy!"
"Fuck her! Old Five! Are you trying to take credit for our deaths by using our heads? Do you really think that if we die, you'll be the next in line?"
If we rebel, the old man won't trust anyone. You'll get nothing, and he will pass the throne to his most beloved thirty-fifth brother!
You can't even eat a mouthful of hot shit!"
After hearing this, Lao Wu was also moved and looked back involuntarily. When his eyes swept across King Ning who was shouting at the troops, his eyes immediately lit up, turned around, and shouted at the top of his voice,
"Second brother! Don't be so stubborn. We are brothers! Can I kneel down for you? If you want to chop, chop me. Don't kill father. Don't kill brothers anymore!
"Second brother, I beg you, please lay down your weapons. You can't kill me and then go to my father to apologize for your crime!"
When King Ning heard this, he felt deeply moved. He thought he had not taken the fifth brother seriously enough in the past. Now the eldest brother was killed, and the second, third and fourth brothers were rebelling, but the fifth brother refused to go along with them. Instead, he was willing to exchange his own life for his own.
It's so touching.
Although Lao Wu used to be quiet and low-key, but now think about it, isn’t that calm and steady?
