Chapter 52 The whole Wu Kingdom’s morale was distorted
Everyone in Wu knows that the current Emperor of Wu likes to go on tours.
During the ten years since he ascended the throne, apart from the first two years to consolidate the government and imperial power, he went on tour every year for the next eight years.
Of course, every time he returned from a tour, there would always be one more concubine in the palace.
There was an accident during the cruise three months ago.
Meng Chong's way of revenge pioneered a new approach. He did not practice martial arts, nor did he go up the mountain to become a bandit and gather people from all walks of life to seek revenge, nor did he become an official in the court.
After all, the Meng family of Tianping was a large family, and there were many officials in the Wu court who were related to the Meng family.
Meng Chong thought of a more extreme way of revenge!
He took advantage of the Emperor Wu's tour to assassinate him! At that time, the Emperor Wu was in the carriage, preparing to engage in some loving activities with the newly selected beauty, when he heard a loud roar.
"Tian Ping Meng Chong, come and kill the wasteful, foolish and cruel dog emperor!"
The sudden roar frightened Emperor Wu so much that he collapsed on the spot.
The whole person was furious.
Meng Chong was also fierce, charging forward with a machete, breaking through layer after layer of guards - in the end, he even managed to escape! Emperor Wu was furious, and after checking, he found that the assassin was a direct descendant of the Tianping Meng family!
Execute all! Execute the entire family! Execute all nine clans! You must execute all nine clans!
Emperor Wu issued an order on the spot, and the army moved out, charging directly into the Meng family. All the members of the family were captured and put into prison!
Everyone in the Meng family was confused.
Without knowing what happened, he became a traitor! After knowing the truth, he cried out that he was wronged!
What an injustice!
He had just expelled Meng Chong from the Meng family, and yet, he turned around and assassinated the emperor?
Is this Meng Chong's way of revenge?
The entire Meng family was struck by lightning. What the hell was this? Who the hell takes revenge like this?
Are you abnormal?! This is a crime punishable by the death of nine generations of your clan!
The entire Wu court was in a state of panic because of this assassination, and all the officials were trembling with fear. Anyone who had any connection with the Meng family was thrown into prison.
This is a serious crime punishable by the execution of nine clans! The scope of the case is getting wider and wider. If the nine clans are executed, it seems that even the royal family will be implicated.
In the end, the whole family was sentenced to death! After investigation, it was found that the assassination seemed to be done by Meng Chong in revenge for the Meng family.
Even so, Emperor Wu will not forgive the Meng family.
Once this precedent is set, if someone with other ulterior motives wants to rebel and expel someone from the family, then if they fail, they will not be implicated?
Where is the majesty of the imperial power? Where is the dignity of the Emperor Wu?
The whole family was executed!
The whole family must be executed!
This example cannot be opened!
As a result, the entire Meng family was executed!
On the day of the execution, they shouted loudly that it was unfair, and cursed Meng Chong as a degenerate. What kind of a jerk is this? How can you take revenge like this? This matter spread throughout the Wu Kingdom, and everyone was stunned. How could you take revenge like this?
What kind of brain can come up with such a ruthless way of revenge.
What's even more outrageous is that Meng Chong, the culprit who assassinated Emperor Wu, actually escaped...
Emperor Wu has issued a bounty for his arrest!
Ten thousand taels of gold! After hearing the reason, Li Xuan looked at Meng Chong with a strange look in his eyes.
This bald boy's train of thought is different.
"Didn't you say that the reward was 10,000 taels of gold? Why did you just say that Wu offered a reward of 100,000 taels?"
Li Xuan suddenly discovered something wrong.
Meng Chong said that because of this, he was wanted for a reward of 10,000 taels, so he hid all the way and finally fled to Qi State for refuge.
Just now Shi Er said that he was offering a reward of 100,000 taels! Shi Er's face twitched, and looking at Meng Chong's eyes, he couldn't help but admire him. This young man who was born bald actually created a way of revenge that had never been seen before.
"Senior, it's actually like this. Because of Meng Chong's way of revenge, some people followed his example..."
Shi Er looks at Meng Chong with a strange look and tells him what happened after Meng Chong assassinated Emperor Wu.
Meng Chong's unprecedented way of revenge spread throughout the State of Wu and naturally became a hotly discussed topic.
Unexpectedly, it brought the entire Wu State's morals astray.
The former Minister of Personnel of the Wu State had a servant who fell in love with a woman. The woman was then taken advantage of by the son of the Minister of Personnel.
The servant wanted justice, but ended up with his parents being killed and he himself being beaten all over his body and suffering torture every day.
The son of the Minister of Personnel was somewhat perverted. He would beat up his servants every now and then, and would also forcefully take possession of the women he liked in front of him.
Just don't kill him.
It was to torture him! After the incident of Meng Chong came out, it reached the ears of the servants.
His mind opened up and he instantly understood how to take revenge.
He escaped when no one was paying attention, hid himself, made a bow, and stole a knife.
After the assassination of Meng Chong was settled, Emperor Wu went on tour again, completing the tour that he had not completed last time.
result!
He was assassinated again! The servant of the Minister of Personnel ran out to assassinate the emperor! "You tyrant emperor, I'll kill you!"
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
A loud roar made Emperor Wu furious.
The servant is dead!
It was found out that he was a servant of the Minister of Personnel.
Execute!
The whole family must be executed! The whole family of the Minister of Personnel cried out that it was unjust!
But the emperor's majesty cannot be challenged, so what if it was a servant's revenge? It is better to kill the wrong person than to let him go! This precedent must not be set!
The family of the Minister of Personnel was executed! When this matter spread, the morale of the Wu State began to deteriorate.
Emperor Wu went on another tour, wanting to complete the two unfinished tours, but he was assassinated again! The assassin was the nephew of the Minister of War! Because the Minister of War bullied his mother and forced his mother to commit suicide.
So, he followed Meng Chong's example and wanted revenge!
Emperor Wu’s mentality has collapsed!
Execute!
The whole family was executed!
The family of the assistant minister of the Ministry of War was executed again.
The mentality of all the civil and military officials in the court collapsed.
What the hell is going on?
It’s all Meng Chong’s fault!
They all advised the Emperor not to go on tour and to stay in the palace! If he went on tour again, who knows which minister would be executed next time! The Emperor was forced to stop going on tour.
I thought the matter was over, but, again, an assassination attempt on a minister of the time occurred.
A servant in a wealthy merchant's house was bullied, and in a rage he went to assassinate the minister of the dynasty!
The wealthy businessman and his family were imprisoned and their property was confiscated.
If you can't assassinate the emperor, then assassinate the ministers!
The entire Wu State's ethos was distorted.
The master looked at the servants with a wary look in his eyes. If he treated the servants better, wouldn't his prestige as a master become a mere decoration? How could he associate with inferiors?
If he spoke harshly to the servant, he would be afraid that he would risk everything and try to assassinate someone.
The ministers were also feeling uncomfortable. They were afraid of assassination when they traveled, and at home they were afraid that some servant would be so desperate that he would muster the courage to carry out the assassination.
If I put down my attitude and get along better with my servants, wouldn't my job as a master be in vain? Where is my prestige as a master? The servants of the rich families in Wu State were not easy either. They were afraid that their masters would suspect them and make them angry, and then drag them out and beat them to death to prevent them from assassinating others!
The entire Wu State's ethos was thus distorted.
The source of all this is because of Meng Chong! There is a popular saying in Wu State: If you want revenge, learn from Meng Chong!
What a sin! The Emperor of Wu increased the reward and vowed to bring Meng Chong back to be tortured to death! The civil and military officials of the court agreed very much and were willing to pay money to increase the reward amount.
The reward was directly increased to an astonishing 100,000 taels of gold!
