Chapter 193 I Don’t Want to Be a Loyal Servant!
After this new small world was completely stabilized and the laws of heaven and earth were completely hidden, Si Yuan left this world through the system and returned to the Tiancang Realm.
The familiar Tiancang Realm and the familiar Wangtian Sect. Si Yuan walked out of his retreat paradise and wandered around the Wangtian Sect.
After all, after traveling through so many worlds and experiencing so much time, for him, a young cultivator who had only practiced in the Tiancang Realm for a hundred years, it still felt like a lifetime ago.
He is not one of those old and experienced veterans who can be indifferent to the passage of time.
However, in the eyes of everyone in Wangtian Sect, it seemed that the little master who was in seclusion came out for a stroll not long after. Could it be that the little master who was a powerful person in the Spirit Transformation Stage could have been in seclusion for such a short time? Could it be that the young master hasn’t officially started his retreat yet?
After Si Yuan walked around Wangtian Sect and regained his familiar feeling, he returned to his own paradise and began to meditate. After all, his spiritual realm had improved greatly this time, and his physical body that stayed in Wangtian Sect could not fall behind in strength.
As the junior master of Wangtian Sect, he has the support of his master, Wangtian Immortal Master from the fairy world. So, no matter how short of cultivation resources the entire Wangtian Sect needs, he will never be missing.
Therefore, after Si Yuan’s realm has reached a sufficient level, his physical strength can be improved simply by spending resources.
With a large amount of rare resources falling upon him, Si Yuan's physical body and spiritual realm soon matched each other, and he successfully broke through to the Mahayana stage.
He was only one step away from ascension, but Si Yuan was temporarily suppressing his cultivation. His improvement was too fast, and he needed to suppress it for a while longer to consolidate his foundation to avoid the situation where his cultivation became superficial and caused his failure to ascension.
The Immortal Realm is much larger and more prosperous than the Tiancang Realm, and the environment for cultivation is also much better.
According to the Immortal Lord Wangtian, with his talent, if he was born in the fairyland, he would have become an immortal long ago. Why did it take him a hundred years to become a mere god?
Although in the Tiancang Realm, Si Yuan's cultivation speed has reached an unprecedented level that created history.
But what Immortal Wangtian said was the truth. If Si Yuan was in the kind of cultivation environment in the fairyland, his strength would be much greater than this now.
The cultivation environment in the Tiancang Realm is still far inferior to that in the Immortal Realm.
Si Yuan does not have to worry about the dangers of ascending to the fairyland. After all, the Immortal Lord Wangtian has also established a Wangtian Immortal Sect in the fairyland. When he ascends to the fairyland, he will be the direct disciple of a top boss and has a strong backer, unlike the grassroots ascenders who have no backers.
Si Yuan practiced patiently for several years, and after laying a solid foundation, he let the system send him to the next world.
After completing the next world-crossing mission, he planned to start ascending to the fairyland.
The system didn't know that he was planning to ascend. When it heard him say that his training was over and he could continue to travel, it directly took away his soul and went to other worlds.
This small world was still a small world with little spiritual energy, but Si Yuan didn't care. He didn't expect to achieve anything by practicing in a small world whose practice environment was worse than that of Tiancang Realm.
As long as the small world is complete and has the laws of the world for him to comprehend, it will be enough for him to improve his spiritual realm.
As soon as Si Yuan arrived in the body chosen by the system in this small world, he felt like he was holding a child in his arms. In front of him, a middle-aged man in splendid clothes earnestly told him: "The young master is in your hands. He is the only hope of the Wen family!"
Before Si Yuan could respond to the middle-aged man, he was pushed out of the door, and then the door in front of him, which was obviously the back door, was quickly closed.
Although Si Yuan had not yet had time to receive the original owner's memories and the original plot, he knew that things were not good as soon as he saw the situation, and quickly picked up the child and hurriedly left the back door of the luxurious mansion.
On the way out, Si Yuan quickly took in the original plot.
Emmm, it’s really hard to comment!
The child in Si Yuan's arms is called Wen Jiarong, the youngest son of the Wen family. The entire Wen family is about to be executed. The middle-aged man who had just given him earnest instructions was dressed very luxuriously, but he was just the steward of the Wen family.
Even a butler can wear gorgeous clothes, which shows how extravagant the Wen family is.
From this point of view, it is clear that the Wen family was not wrongly raided.
In fact, the Wen family was indeed raided and executed for crimes such as embezzling good farmland and misappropriating disaster relief funds.
However, according to the analysis of the original plot, Si Yuan discovered that these charges might be true, but the Wen family did not fall because these charges were exposed. It was not so glorious. The Wen family fell only because the Wen family failed in the political struggle.
During the reign of the previous emperor, the Wen family supported the eldest son in his bid for the throne, but it was the fifth son who succeeded. Now that the new emperor has ascended the throne, it is natural that he has to deal with all his former political enemies.
The Wen family fell because they stood on the wrong side in the fight for succession and were purged by the new emperor. However, the charges the new emperor used to deal with the Wen family were not unfair; they were all true.
It's just that no one in the court, from top to bottom, took the crime of embezzling good farmland and misappropriating disaster relief funds seriously, because everyone did it. Therefore, it would not be okay to punish an official simply because he embezzled good farmland and misappropriated disaster relief funds. It would cause protests from the ministers. But if it was because the new emperor was clearing out political enemies and using these crimes to attack the enemies' subordinates, it would not cause resistance from all the ministers.
This way they will feel at ease and don't have to worry that one day they will be purged by the emperor for doing the same thing.
This shows the darkness of this dynasty.
However, this has little to do with the original owner, because the original owner is just an ordinary slave on a farm of the Wen family. His daily job is to grow vegetables on the farm and deliver the fresh vegetables to the Wen Mansion for the masters to enjoy.
The original owner also came to the Wen Mansion today to deliver food. Knowing that the Wen family was in imminent disaster, the head of the Wen family sent his six-year-old youngest son out of the mansion to seek refuge in advance, in order to at least leave a bloodline for his family.
So the original owner was lucky enough to be chosen and became the person entrusted by the housekeeper to take care of the orphan.
The original owner was indeed a loyal servant who was worthy of the trust of the head of the Wen family and the housekeeper Wen. The original owner took Wen Jiarong back to his home near the manor. When the officers and soldiers tracked down the manor and found the original owner's home, in order not to disappoint the master and to preserve the master's only bloodline, the original owner exchanged his son with Wen Jiarong.
Of course, the original owner's son could not be compared with Wen Jiarong, who had been spoiled since childhood. Fortunately, the original owner's son was three years older than Wen Jiarong, but because of malnutrition, he was about the same size as Wen Jiarong. After changing his clothes and smearing some dust on his body, people could not see his original skin color, so he could fool people.
The arresting officers and soldiers didn't care whether the person they arrested was the real Wen Jiarong. As long as they caught a boy of similar age, they could go back and report back.
So the nine-year-old son, named Lin Zhong by the original owner, was captured by the soldiers and mistook him for Wen Jiarong.
Lin Zhong was a filial child who listened to his father. The original owner asked him to replace the young master, so he obediently called himself Wen Jiarong to the officers and soldiers.
But what he didn't expect was that what a desperate future was waiting for him was that he only knew how to listen to his father.
The older men in the Wen family were all beheaded, but young children like Wen Jiarong were sent to the palace to serve as eunuchs and criminal slaves.
Lin Zhong, who replaced Wen Jiarong's identity, was sent to the palace and stabbed without knowing it. He was already nine years old and knew what this meant, but when he saw other little eunuchs around him who died from castration, he was so scared that he didn't even dare to cry, let alone reveal that he was not Wen Jiarong.
Because Lin Zhong was still concerned about his family and was worried that his family would be implicated if his identity was exposed.
Criminal slaves who served as eunuchs in the palace were not allowed to have their original names, so Lin Zhong, who was named "Wen Jiarong", became "Xiao Rongzi".
Lin Zhong suffered humiliation and torture in the palace, but his obsession with returning home supported him. He wanted to go home and ask his father why he had to take the place of others to suffer such a punishment?
So he climbed up step by step, from little Rongzi to Eunuch Rong, and later became the feared Rong Changgong.
Mr. Rong, who was in charge of the North Factory, relied on the emperor's trust and became the sharpest knife in the emperor's hand, but also a mad dog with the emperor pulling the reins.
Those who flatter him call him the Nine Thousand Year Old, while those who despise him call him the Corrupt Eunuch!
But all this could not please Lin Zhong, as he was still thinking about his family.
After becoming the head of Beichang, he began to investigate the Lin family with great power in his hands.
Then it was discovered that the original owner moved to Jiangnan with Wen Jiarong, and took great pains to support Wen Jiarong's studies, hoping that Wen Jiarong could take part in the imperial examination and clear the Wen family's grievances.
But what injustice has the Wen family suffered? The Wen family ended up like this simply as a result of a failed political struggle, and it is impossible to overturn the verdict.
Wen Jiarong was only six years old when the Wen family collapsed, but he was not ignorant. Before he was sent out, he received emergency teaching and instructions from his father.
Therefore, Wen Jiarong never thought of overturning the case for the Wen family on his own. He chose to change his appearance, take the imperial examination, and then support one of the princes of the current emperor to win the throne.
The struggle for the throne continued from generation to generation. After the fifth prince who ascended the throne became the new emperor, more princes would be born. When these princes grew up, they would repeat their fathers' struggle for the throne.
As the male protagonist in the original plot, Wen Jiarong still has the aura of the protagonist. He made the right bet, and the third prince he supported did become the winner in the end.
Therefore, Wen Jiarong, who has obtained the merit of following the dragon, can restore his true identity and clear the name of the Wen family.
As for whether the Wen family was really wronged, it is not important. Just as the Wen family fell because of their failure in the political struggle, the Wen family can now overturn the verdict because Wen Jiarong won the political struggle.
Only Lin Zhong was extremely unwilling. Why did he enter the palace in place of Wen Jiarong and become a eunuch and suffer humiliation, while Wen Jiarong was able to pass the imperial examination and become an official under the identity of 'Lin Zhong'? He also wanted to reverse the case for the Wen family and abandon the identity of 'Lin Zhong' to restore the identity of 'Wen Jiarong'.
But he can only be Rong Gonggong forever.
