Chapter 58: The Chief's Housework
The middle-aged man opened a room for Dai Zi in the inn, and then went back to report.
Nature! He will not report directly to Princess Ye, but will report to the chief first.
When the chief learned the information, he was both relieved and very uneasy. Immediately asked someone to find Princess Ye and ask if she was hiding anything?
Princess Ye didn't say it at first, but under the persecution of her father, she had to admit that she had hidden a lot of things.
"You're cheating on your father-in-law!" The chief of Yi angrily slapped the case.
Princess Ye did not argue, but knelt in front of her father-in-law.
"You? Alas! "If Peng Yu hadn't saved his daughter and himself, I don't know how far things would go? So! I had to endure it.
"Daddy!" Princess Ye saw that her father didn't do anything to her, so she shouted in a low voice.
"Don't you even tell your father?" Yi Chang softened his tone and asked.
"Daddy!"
"Alas!" The chief sighed and said, "Forget it! Never mind! I won't ask any more! What the hell is he going to do, you know? ”
"Daddy!" Princess Ye turned her head and looked left and right, meaning: I can't say.
But he still said: "Daddy, just listen to the child's advice!" Father! The child has persuaded his father more than once, is his father still there? Also ......"
Are you still obsessed?
"You?" When the chief heard this, he was furious. Forthwith! Drink back and let Princess Ye come to his side.
"Daddy!" Princess Ye got up and came to sit down beside her father-in-law.
"Alas!" Looking at this only daughter, Yi Chang sighed, I don't know what to say? He had no son, no other children, only this one daughter.
He had sons and daughters, but they all died inexplicably. In order to have a son to inherit the title, he renewed his wife's house, and as a result! I haven't had children. Again! None of them had children.
I found out later! It's not that the wife doesn't have children, but! For unknown reasons, he himself lost his fertility.
Eupon! That is, Princess Ye's father, surnamed Ji, Wei, and Mingjia. A generation younger than King Wei Hui, a hereditary nobleman. The family is the second largest nobleman in the Wei State, but since King Wei Hui inherited the title and became the king of the Wei State, the family began to decline.
First of all, there was a fight within the family, and in order to get the title, some people did whatever it took to deny their relatives and kill each other. Later, he was constrained by King Wei Hui, and the result became what it is now.
Wei Jia successfully inherited the title, but his children died inexplicably, so you can't find out the reason at all.
A discerning person can see at a glance that he has been assassinated by others. If someone asks you to cut off your heir, you have to find a stepson to inherit the title. Such! The title fell into the hands of someone else.
It doesn't matter if you have a son or not? The noble titles of this clan cannot be lost. So! It is inevitable to find a stepson in the family. And then! The stepson inherits the title.
Just like the situation in the family of the Son of Heaven and the king, if there is no heir, another stepson must be found to inherit the position of the son of heaven and the king.
This is stipulated by the Zhou system (ancestral system, ancient inheritance law), and the title cannot be inherited by outsiders. When the crown prince died, he looked for other sons to inherit, and if there were no heirs in the lineage, he looked for them from the concubines. If the Son of Heaven and the King have no heirs, choose one of their brothers. Anyway! The title cannot fall into the hands of "outsiders", and the status of the Great Zhou cannot fall into the hands of outsiders.
Princess Ye's mother is Princess Zhaoguo, and because of precautions, she survived.
But! Now the situation is that no matter how much you try to persuade him, the mayor just doesn't believe it. He said how could someone from the same family frame him? Will he kill his offspring? He is dedicated to doing things for the King of Wei and is loyal, so the King of Wei will not frame him.
Obviously that's the case, but he just doesn't believe it. In desperation! No one else has a way to do it. Since he can't change him, he can only change himself, and he can only rely on himself to protect himself.
Therefore! Princess Ye became the current Princess Ye.
Although she has a good relationship with her father-in-law, she has to hide a lot of things in order to protect herself.
Under her pleading, the chief of Yi had agreed to rescue Peng Yu's mother and sister. But the slave status of the two of them cannot be changed for a while. Only say hello so that the military does not bully or abuse them.
Changing the status of a slave requires a certain procedure. Although he is the head of Yi and the prime minister of Wei, he can't go too far.
To know! Peng Yu's mother and sister are the family members of the criminal, if you directly intervene, it is equivalent to overturning the case, which is equivalent to admitting that Peng Yu is the same Peng Yu. So! In the internal power struggle of the Wei State, it will be unfavorable to you, and someone will use this matter to rectify you.
Peng Yu's identity has changed, and he has changed to Xinyi's identity. But Peng Yu is a stubborn person, he is reluctant to change his name, and always wants his original name. So! still aroused the suspicion of others.
For example! The official messenger from Zhonghe Town came over and said that this Peng Yu from Xinyi was the Peng Yu from their Zhonghe Town, and he was a criminal.
Isn't it? Got into a lot of trouble?
Peng Yu said that he was going to kill King Wei Hui and avenge his father, but Princess Ye naturally would not agree. But! Peng Yu still left alone. As you can imagine! He's gone for revenge. It is not known what method he used.
After Peng Yu disappeared, Princess Ye was anxious for a long time, and she couldn't wait to tell her father about it. But considering the seriousness of the problem, it may be unfavorable to Peng Yu, so he concealed it.
Joke! Who are you going to kill? It's King Wei Hui! It's her father's uncle. If this matter is known by my father, with people's loyalty to King Wei Hui and the family, will they agree?
Peng Yu had a mother and sister, but Princess Ye did not hide it, but told her father truthfully. Because! Only Daddy can help with this. But because it involves criminals, there is no publicity.
So! The middle-aged man didn't know that Peng Yu had a mother and a sister. I didn't know that Peng Yu's mother and sister were in Daliang, the capital of Wei State.
Peng Yu is missing, Princess Ye knows it, and Yi Chang and others also know it. But what they are worried about is not that Peng Yu has gone to the beam, but that it is an accident!
To know! Peng Yu offended the spies of the Qi State, and the spies of the Qi State would not let him go. What if Peng Yu was framed by these people? Or! What should I do if Peng Yu falls into the hands of those people?
The State of Qi wanted to hold their family hostage, so as to blackmail them, let them take refuge in the State of Qi, and help the State of Qi destroy the State of Wei. promised him: as long as the Wei State is destroyed, he will be the person in charge of the Wei State in the future, and the territory of the Wei State will belong to him. Of course! It was the Wei State under the Qi State.
And also! The spies of the Qi State will make such a fuss, and it will also create another illusion, that is: What is the secret relationship between the Qi State and the Yi Chief? Whether there is or not, it can play a role in sowing discord, making King Wei Hui suspicious of you, and letting other power struggles find excuses for you, so that you can't explain reasonably.
