Before Ye Zhou had time to go to the Yang family to settle accounts, he got the younger brother of the head of the Yang family, an important member of the Yang family. Because he was deceived by an adulterer, he used swords and swords and raised private soldiers. On the news that he brandished a knife to commit suicide.

At noon today, only the two sons of the remaining Patriarch belonged to the head of the Yang family. The others all left Linzi and no longer called the Yang family.

The two sons of Yang's family, holding the wooden box containing Yang Yi's head and wearing only coarse linen clothes, knelt down step by step, walked to the palace gate, begged to see Marquis Chen, and Chen confessed his crime.

The people seemed to have suddenly forgotten what the Yang family had done to them. They stood by the side of the street, watching the two thin young men kowtow with tears in their eyes.

"It's pathetic."

"Hey, the elders did something wrong, why bother to implicate a family?"

"The Yang family is defeated..."

The common people looked at these two young men who were supposed to be well-clothed and lived a smooth life under the blessing of the family with regret.

"Their families are already ruined, and I think the king won't care about them any more."

"I can't see this, it's so pitiful!"

"It can be seen that if the head of the family is stupid, a family will lose if it loses."

"You can't say that. As long as the main bloodline survives and the descendants forge ahead, there will always be a day when they will come out."

The people sincerely thought they were pitiful.

When the Yang family was strong, they could gather together to protect Ye Zhou, wishing they could kill everyone in the Yang family.

But now that the Yang family has been defeated, leaving only two frail teenagers, they think that the Yang family has made a mistake, but the mistake is not fatal. They hope that Chen Hou can forgive them gently.

It's best to give these two teenagers another important position, so that the Yang family can recover.

This is what the world requires of a "benevolent king".

There is no law, and the criterion for judging whether a person or a family is wrong or wrong is human feelings.

It is difficult for the monarch to go against the "expectations" of the people and the aristocratic families.

Chen Hou was lying on the bed, he was already awake, but he still felt groggy.

He tilted his head slightly, looked at Mrs. Hou who was sitting by the bed watching over him, and said with a wry smile, "Mrs. Hard Work."

Mrs. Chen shook her head: "Your Majesty has worked hard, you have suffered these days."

Chen Hou let out a long sigh. After waking up, he had heard Mrs. Chen explain what had happened these days, and he also knew the cause and effect of his "illness". He looked at this woman who had been married to him for many years and was a young couple.

She was haggard and old, but her eyes were still burning, as if something had stimulated her and rejuvenated her.

"Jiaoer..." Chen Hou called Mrs. Chen's nickname softly, he closed his eyes slightly, and said weakly, "Don't bother with the Jiang family's affairs."

Mrs. Chen froze.

Chen Hou said softly: "You know what I'm talking about. You are the mother of a country. I have given you all the dignity and rights you deserve. I can tolerate everything, but I can't tolerate being the mother of a country. Put it on top."

"You are a daughter of the Jiang family, and this will never change." Chen Hou felt very tired, so he continued, "Let go."

Mrs. Chen put the bowl in her hand aside, she was silent for a while but said: "No."

"I want the Jiang family, not because I regard the Jiang family as more important than Chen Guo."

"My elder brother, he is not an ambitious man. He has no ambitions, and he only indulges in love for his children." Mrs. Chen said, "The Jiang family is in his hands, and it will decline within ten years. Your lord, that is mine." Mother clan, I always want to save it."

Chen Hou slowly opened his eyes, and said softly to Mrs. Chen, "Jiaoer, you can coax others, but you can't coax me."

Mrs. Chen didn't speak any more.

"I know, this world is sorry for you." Chen Hou coughed lightly, struggled to support his body to sit up, and he exhaled, "You will never be like a man, start a family and start a business, have a family that belongs only to you .”

"Chen Guo belongs to Rui'er. Even if the Jiang family belongs to you now, one day it will only belong to Jiang's children."

Chen Hou looked at his wife tenderly.

Mrs. Chen's eyes finally turned red under his gaze, she never knew what she wanted.

She is a daughter of the Jiang family, and her parents, relatives, sisters and brothers have been telling her since she was a child that her highest achievement in life is to marry a high-ranking man for the sake of the family.

She did aim at this when she was young. She could play the piano, write poems and even articles.

But all this is done to marry a man.

It is useless for her to study, nor is it useful to play the piano, even if her articles are better than scholars, it is useless.

Both knowledge and appearance, like her jewelry, are just props to adorn her.

She didn't want to do this, so after she got married, she couldn't wait to use Chen Hou's identity to intervene in family affairs. She wanted Jiang, and she wanted everything she had learned to be useful.

But at this moment, Chen Hou's words tore through her self-deceiving excuses. Even if she got the Jiang family, the Jiang family still did not belong to her.

Nothing in this world belongs to her.

"I don't understand." Mrs. Chen took a deep breath, she didn't dare to blink for fear of tears, "I don't understand, why did God give birth to me as a woman? What do we make?"

For the Jiang family, a child like her is just a prop for them to win people over.

They may have love for her, but this love is insignificant compared with the interests.

If her parents were asked to choose between the sons and daughters of the clan, they would definitely not choose her.

Daughters are just tools, and children are the fire to continue a family.

She sometimes doesn't even know who she is.

She is a daughter of the Jiang family, but the Jiang family does not belong to her.

She is Chen Hou's wife, but Chen Hou married her because of interests, just to give birth to a prince who has Jiang's blood.

She is the mother of the prince and son, but the prince does not belong to her. The prince is the prince of Chen Guo.

Mrs. Chen's eyes were full of tears. She seemed to be knocked down by a force. She possessed wisdom and knowledge, but no one needed her wisdom.

Everyone just wants her to play her role well.

Only no one cared about her.

"Sometimes I really envy Mrs. Lu Gong." Madam Chen said suddenly, "Even if it's just a face, at least Lu Gong sees her as a person, not her surname."

Chen Hou persuaded: "But you are my wife, and you have the greatest power besides me."

Mrs. Chen asked: "If you die and Rui'er grows up, can I still have it?"

Chen Hou didn't speak, Madam Chen continued: "Those ministers in the court, even if you die, they are still ministers."

Chen Hou understood: "Do you want an official position?"

Mrs. Chen shook her head, she said helplessly: "I know it's impossible, you can't do it, I can't do it, maybe the future generations won't be able to do it, but I can't figure it out, I don't understand."

"I want to know who I am." Mrs. Chen, "How many women in the world know who I am?"

The couple didn't speak any more, Mrs. Chen couldn't find the answer, and Chen Hou couldn't tell the answer either.

After a moment of silence, Mrs. Chen finally said, "Jiang Shi, I will not let go."

Chen Hou: "Jiaoer!"

Mrs. Chen: "I don't have anything! Even if I can only have it for a few years, ten years, it's enough!"

"It's up to you..." Chen Hou coughed a few more times, leaning against the head of the bed, "Jiao'er, I'm worried that one day, you no longer want to know who you are, if one day, Rui'er wants to deal with Jiang Shi, what are you going to do?"

Mrs. Chen immediately said: "This is impossible, my Jiang family is Rui'er's Jiang family!"

"No, you are his mother." Chen Hou said with a wry smile, "If one day, members of the Jiang clan rely on themselves as Ruier's mother clan to compete with Ruier for profit and refuse to listen to Ruier's orders, can you For Rui'er, for Chen Guo, do you attack them?"

Mrs. Chen opened her mouth, but Chen Hou interrupted her: "You can say yes now, but you and I know in our hearts that we won't."

He looked at her as they had first met.

At that time, he knew that his future wife would be a woman with a strong desire for power. She was like a wild cat, relying on instinct to survive. Because she didn't know what she wanted, she wanted everything.

He doesn't love her, but he appreciates her.

He admired her unyielding strength, and even appreciated her ferocity when fighting for power.

Because of this, he is always indulging her.

The indulgence has reached the point where it is almost out of control.

"If one day, I'm going to die." Chen Hou took Mrs. Chen's hand, "You can't live."

Mrs. Chen trembled all over, Chen Hou looked at her: "This is for Chen Guo, for Rui'er."

"If you die first, I won't marry again. I will only have you as a wife in my life." Chen Hou said, "Rui'er will never have a half-brother to shake his position."

Chen Hou's lips trembled slightly, as if he had made up his mind: "Your tombstone will neither have my name nor Jiang's."

"Your own name will be engraved."

"It's not Chen Hou's wife, it's not Jiang's daughter, it's you."

Mrs. Chen finally shed a tear, she held Chen Hou's hand instead, and finally smiled: "Okay."

She smiled and said, "If you do this, everyone in the world will scold you."

Chen Hou: "Let them scold me. Anyway, I was probably dead or dying at that time, so I don't care."

"As for the Zheng family." Chen Hou's voice became softer and softer, "You can do whatever you want."

"I'll talk to Brother Yan." Chen Hou said, "He will listen to you."

Mrs. Chen looked at Chen Hou and fell asleep again.

She stood up, wiped away the tears from her face, and straightened her clothes.

After leaving this room, she is still the dignified and simple Mrs. Chen Hou.

She stepped out.

It's sunny outside.

It's a good time to kill.

·

Ye Zhou was having dinner when he learned that the Zheng family was surrounded by soldiers led by Chen Yan.

A young general named Zheng Shaoyu came to report to him.

Although Zheng Shaoyu's surname is Zheng, he is not from the same family as the Zheng family, otherwise he would not have joined the army.

The reason why Chen Yan surrounded the Zheng family had a reason that was actually not tenable-the Zheng family was collaborating with the enemy and traitorous to the country.

But this reason can be called a special reason for planting in this era.

After all, the Yang family used this reason when they wanted to punish him.

What's more, no matter how you think about it, there is no benefit for the Zheng family to cooperate with the enemy. Now the Zheng family's status in the Chen country is second only to the Jiang family.

And it's obviously not a good time to do it now. They captured and killed the main branch of the Zheng family, but the Zheng family branch still controls so many cities in the Chen country. What can be done?

Sure enough, Mrs. Chen came to the door before Ye Zhou asked a question.

She came alone, with everyone around her, wearing only a coarse cloth and a wooden hairpin on her head, and immediately saluted Ye Zhou as soon as she was led in.

Ye Zhou stood up and led Mrs. Chen out. The two stopped by the veranda, watching the carp swimming leisurely in the pond.

"Madam, is this here for Zheng's affairs?" Ye Zhou took the steamed bun from Cao'er, handed half of it to Madam Chen, and said in a gentle tone, "Madam, what is your plan to surround Zheng's?"

Mrs. Chen knew that she was impulsive. She didn't want to use the army at first, so she said neatly: "I was too impatient. It's just that the thought of your majesty being harmed by the Zheng family into what he is today... I can't bear it."

"But I haven't thought about it."

"In order to let the main branch's children get the best, the Zheng family doesn't care about the branches. Instead, the branches in each city give gifts to the main branch every year, just so that the Zheng family can talk about their benefits in the court."

"The two sides are not on the same page."

Ye Zhou nodded.

It is normal to not be in the same heart, and brothers may not be in the same heart, let alone "relatives" who live in two places and may not have seen each other for decades.

"Since that's the case." Ye Zhou said with a smile, "Madam has eliminated this Zheng family, so it's better to mention another Zheng family."

"It's just that, Chen Guo will be in chaos."

Mrs. Chen nodded: "I came to see you precisely for this purpose."

Ye Zhou looked at Mrs. Chen: "Is this what Marquis Chen meant?"

He doesn't know Mrs. Chen, but according to his understanding of the children of the family, generally speaking, people from the family will maintain their own class. Mrs. Chen is also from the family. She may be able to deal with the Zheng family from the perspective of the family, but she won't From the perspective of the royal family, deal with the Zheng family.

Mrs. Chen nodded slightly: "Your Majesty said that if there is no destruction, there will be no establishment. If the country of Chen is not in chaos, it will not get rid of the stubborn disease."

These words made Ye Zhou stop feeding the fish, and he looked at Mrs. Chen.

Mrs. Chen knew that Ye Zhou was looking at her, so she didn't move, she waited for Ye Zhou to speak.

Ye Zhou: "Marquis Chen is more courageous than I thought."

It is very simple to say that nothing can be broken or nothing can be built, but one wrong step will lead to an abyss.

When the aristocratic family found out that Chen Hou wanted to deal with them, then Chen Hou would not be a Zheng family if he had to face them.

All his friends will become his enemies.

Most of the ministers in the court will stand against him.

Ye Zhou said calmly, "Madam can do whatever she wants."

Mrs. Chen saluted again: "Thank you, Immortal."

She knew that the immortal was willing to help them.

As long as they win over the immortals, their husband and wife will have nothing to fear.

The last day of late summer.

The head of the Zheng family was arrested all over the family.

All adult men were slaughtered, and unmarried men and women were fined and confiscated into the palace.

Chen Guo, the whole country was in an uproar.

And Ye Zhou also received a lot of "gifts". The aristocratic families gave him gifts crazily, and countless rare treasures poured into him continuously. In addition to dead things, there were even people, young and beautiful men and women, and all the aristocratic families were crazy. up.

Ye Zhou's turnover is also crazy.
