Chapter 381 Princess Rouan 31
"Would Your Highness be willing to recount the past of Emperor Guangwu with me?" He gripped Ling Yi's arm tightly, awaiting her promise.
Ling Yi easily broke free from the old man's strength. What a joke, all that martial arts training she'd done for nothing?
As Wang Dao's expression suddenly darkened, she raised her hand and said, "I swear by the ancestors of the Ling family that I will preserve the bloodline and lineage of the Wang family. If I break my promise, I will die without an heir."
Swearing by one's ancestors and betting on one's own descendants, there will never be such a firm oath in the world.
Wang Dao stared at Ling Yi for a moment, then clapped his hands three times to seal the oath.
"I earnestly hope that Your Highness will not forget the vow you made today."
"I also hope that Your Highness will not break your vow and will clear away any obstacles for me!"
"nature!"
Wang Dao knew the loophole in Ling Yi's words, but as long as he could preserve a sliver of the Wang family's lineage, he didn't care about anything else.
Judging from the way Wang Suizhi and the princess get along now, they will surely have children in the future.
At that time, wouldn't the Wang family still have descendants?
Could it be that a princess with such power would refuse to allow her future child to enter officialdom?
Wang Dao, who had planned everything flawlessly, could never have imagined that Ling Yi would neither wield immense power nor have children.
As for leaving legal legitimacy to the Wang family?
Ling Yi will naturally fulfill her political promise, but the main branch of the Wang family will not see this happen.
A family that can become royalty naturally has some use.
Ling Yi decided to use it heavily and aggressively, since she wouldn't lose anything if she ruined it.
"Your Highness is too kind to him," Wang Suizhi said softly, gazing at his father's retreating figure.
If the Wang family harbors rebellious intentions, then all its members should be exterminated to deter others from harming the world.
Ling Yi sighed, "You're being a bit too radical."
Wang Suizhi, I think you should reflect on your actions, as even artificial intelligence finds them radical.
Wang Suizhi gently inhaled the floral fragrance emanating from the princess's hair and said softly, "Your Highness is benevolent, but I am not that kind of person."
"From now on, you can leave the Wang family to me."
He promised to hand over the prince to a noble family that would be completely obedient.
Those who disobeyed him were sent to keep his good father company.
Wang Dao never imagined that today's commotion would be orchestrated not by the princess, but by his own son, Wang Suizhi.
However, he had already foreseen his death, so he didn't care about such things.
What he cares about now is how to create the greatest value for the princess of the auxiliary state at the lowest cost, and to preserve the royal family's strength to the greatest extent possible.
Before all this, he should settle down in the inner quarters.
Looking coldly at his wife standing opposite him, Wang Dao didn't want to hear her accusations of the family's destruction, nor did he want to hear her accusations of his indifference.
He gave his wife only two choices: "Stay in the Wang family's inner quarters and share the hardships with the Wang family, or return to the Du family immediately and become a prisoner."
As members of a prominent family, the Du family also had no choice about their future at this moment.
The only choice she had was where she would die.
Du never imagined that just before the new year, she was still scheming for her two children to become the head of the family, hoping to use her brother's influence to make the Wang family submit.
After the New Year, her brother was already embroiled in a lawsuit, which was personally brought on by the Wang family she had married into.
Wang Dao was so heartless, did he ever consider her a member of the royal family?
Where did she put her two children?
Without the support of their maternal family, how could they possibly defeat Wang Suizhi, who had the support of the Princess of the State?
She was unwilling to accept that the vast royal family's fortune had been passed down to the son of a concubine!
Looking at Madam Du, who was firmly rooted to the ground, Wang Dao nodded: "It seems you have made your choice. Wang Zhe, take your wife back to the inner quarters. No one is allowed to let her out without my order!"
"Wang Dao, how dare you!" When Madam Du tried to intimidate Wang Dao with her family's power again, she only saw his cold eyes and instantly slumped down.
The Du family is a thing of the past, so what is there for him not to dare to do?
Supported by two maids, she left the hall. As she passed Wang Dao, she clearly heard him say, "Don't hate me. I will leave before you."
She looked up in surprise, but only saw her husband's back.
When Wang Dao drew his sword, a blade wielded with unwavering resolve for his family's legacy, the capital city instantly became a spectacle.
The Wang family, which harbors countless secrets and grudges among their long-standing friendships, is like a mad dog unleashed, indiscriminately attacking everyone.
From privately killing maids to forcibly abducting women, and then to secretly raising assassins, hiding armor, and concealing people.
In just two months, Wang Dao exposed almost all the secrets and secrets of the aristocratic families.
Not to mention the officials in the court he exposed, even Ling Yi was taken aback by his speed and efficiency.
It seems that humans on the verge of life and death do indeed unleash unimaginable potential.
At the same time, she also noticed Wang Dao's provocation.
Isn't the task to govern aristocratic families?
Now that I've revealed all my secrets, can you handle it?
That's really not possible.
People don't grow out of shelves, and scholars aren't created by implanting a chip in a human brain. Since Ling Yi relies on the powerful families to handle affairs every day, she has to turn a blind eye to their behavior and learn to be patient.
However, Wang Dao's indiscriminate attacks undoubtedly gave her a great opportunity to show her kindness.
If something is useful, usable, or temporarily unusable, then bestow kindness upon it, causing it to hand over the principal offender and the confiscated property, thus enabling it to be exonerated.
Anyway, such dirty work wouldn't be done by high-ranking officials in the court. They only need to throw out a member of their clan to settle the matter, so why not?
As for those useless people who repeatedly tap dance on the high-voltage line of rule...
I'm sorry...
At this time, the Wang family's henchmen will be breaking down your door.
Here you go, your hidden treasure!
Thanks to the help of these kind people, Ling Yi dug more than a hundred wells in and around the capital within two months, dredged the canal, and incidentally increased the pay of the imperial guards in the capital.
It was because of this action that the capital city was able to avoid an immediate riot.
The people who needed water were appeased, the wealthy merchants with powerful families behind them were appeased, and the soldiers who had received the princess's salary were sharpening their knives, waiting to rebel.
In this atmosphere, what choice did those who were sacrificed have but to submit when faced with the gleaming weapons of the Imperial Guards?
And Ling Yi didn't go so far as to kill them all, did she?
Whether they were exiled to the four corners of the country or sent to build the new emperor's mausoleum, it was undoubtedly a tough job, but it also meant that they could live!
Although the border region is a bit crowded and the wind is a bit strong, as long as they can make contributions, they may still have a chance to return to the capital a hundred years later!
Under Ling Yi's skillful handling of the situation, the various families that had been attacked by the Wang family quieted down and did not seek trouble with the dog owner.
However, a rabid dog that bites is one that bites and hits!
