This is what happened today. He knew that if what he did was discovered, it would definitely be equivalent to treason.
But he did it without hesitation. His father had given so much for the Qin Dynasty, and the First Emperor deposed him directly and made way for Li Si and Feng Quji. After his father passed away, the Wang family's land was liquidated, which was the foundation of the Wang family's survival.
In recent years, some younger generations of the Wang family have passed the imperial examinations and held official positions, but their grades were not good, their positions were not high, and they lacked the ability to move up. Even if Wang Lin still had some connections, he was not going to use them on those illegitimate children.
Compared to his own family, Wang Lin was envious of the prosperity of the Wang family, to which Marquis Wucheng belonged. He hoped that the Wang family could regain its former glory, even if he was doomed.
Zhao Qingrui looked at Wang Lin, disappointment flashing in his eyes.
She was actually also paying attention to the Wang family where Wang Wan was.
It’s just that the quality of the Wang family’s descendants is really not high, and she can’t meet the requirements even if she wants to promote them.
Unexpectedly, Wang Lin resented her and Daqin so early.
Of course, she knew that the change in the land system would have a significant impact on the entire Qin Dynasty.
Also, because of the system of equalizing land tax and requiring all gentry to pay taxes together, some gentry secretly defected to the remnants of the six kingdoms who were causing trouble.
She didn't expect that these people would include people from the Wang family.
"I treat the Wang family well." Zhao Qingrui took a deep breath. Every time she had something good and gave it as a reward, the Wang family was among those officials.
Wang Lin remained silent, comparing the land that was taken back by Zhao Qingrui and the preferential treatment he had received from the nobles in the past.
He thought that the things Zhao Qingrui took out now were just small favors from Zhao Qingrui.
For them, the land is their foundation.
The land they own now is no different from that of the common people, and he cannot accept such a gap.
Wang Lin didn't say anything, but Zhao Qingrui understood what he meant.
Okay, you are stubborn, right? You don’t know how to be shameless, right? Then there is no need for her to cherish the old friendship.
"There is solid evidence that Wang Lin is a traitor and has admitted to what he did. He is sentenced to immediate execution in three days. The Wang family will lose their preferential treatment from the court and will not be allowed to hold official positions within three generations." In the end, Zhao Qingrui still did not kill anyone from the Wang family.
After their preferential treatment is cancelled, their future life will definitely not be easy.
Wang Lin collapsed on the ground. He had already anticipated Zhao Qingrui's punishment after he was caught.
However, I didn't expect that she would be so cruel to the Wang family as well.
Canceling the right of the Wang family within three generations to take the official examination will lead to the complete decline of the Wang family.
Wang Lin looked at Zhao Qingrui in despair, "Your Majesty, they are all innocent. Why are you so cruel to them?"
"I didn't let them die." Zhao Qingrui said coldly, and then had someone drag Wang Lin away.
If it were my father who came here, the Wang family would have been exterminated long ago, and there would be no way he would have wasted so much time talking to Wang Lin.
She was being merciful by doing this. Now that you know how to say these things, why didn't you think about this outcome when you did these things?
Zhao Qingrui finally gave the Wang family some face by not publicizing the matter.
She just had Wang Lin killed, and she didn't let anyone report this in the newspaper.
"Your Majesty, this is the memorial sent back by General Feng." Zhao Xie hurried over with a copy of the memorial.
"Why are you in such a hurry? Has something happened that the cabinet can't handle?" Feng Haicheng is in charge of Yingzhou Island. He is in such a hurry to send the memorial back. Could something big have happened?
There seem to be quite a few earthquakes in Yingzhou Island, and there should also be quite a few volcanoes and tsunamis. Could they be natural disasters?
"Your Majesty, please review this."
Zhao Qingrui took the memorial handed over by Zhao Xie, opened it, read it quickly, and then closed the memorial calmly.
"You go down first." Zhao Qingrui said lightly.
"Yes." Zhao Xie retreated respectfully. He naturally knew what had happened.
Zhao Qingrui came to Yilanzhu and saw Ying Zheng playing chess with Gan Luo in the courtyard.
"Father." Zhao Qingrui sat next to Ying Zheng.
"It's already this late, and you're still here. What's the matter?" Ying Zheng asked calmly, his eyes fixed on the chessboard, thinking about his next move.
"There's something going on, Mr. Gan. It's getting late, and my father and I have something to say." Zhao Qingrui looked at Gan Luo.
Gan Luo understood and put the chess piece back. "It is indeed late. I will come back to play chess with the Emperor later."
Gan Luo left, and Ying Zheng looked at Zhao Qingrui. Zhao Qingrui would not disturb his interest in playing chess unless there was something important.
"What happened?" Ying Zheng was a little confused.
"Father, Hu Hai was seriously ill and there was no cure. He passed away ten days ago. Can you bring his body back and bury it in the imperial mausoleum?" Zhao Qingrui looked at Ying Zheng calmly.
Hu Hai is finally dead, that’s great.
Hu Hai is dead? Ying Zheng was a little dazed. He almost forgot he had this son.
"Let someone bring his remains back and bury them around my imperial mausoleum." Ying Zheng said lightly. The cemetery near the imperial mausoleum had been almost completed, so there was no shortage of space for Hu Hai.
"Okay." Zhao Qingrui nodded. Since Hu Hai was already dead, there was no need for her to bother with a dead man.
"Do you still resent him?" Ying Zheng looked at Zhao Qingrui.
"The person is gone, what is there to complain about? Besides, with my current status, what is there for me to complain about?" Zhao Qingrui chuckled. She no longer cared about Hu Hai. He was no longer her enemy.
