Mi Dong's Death
Chapter 1012 Mi Dong's Death
"Quickly depose Mi Dong and use him as a sacrifice to appease the emperor."
Otherwise, Emperor Wuxing, Yan Zhou, and even a small figure like Ying Zilin, the head of the school, would take advantage of the Mi family's interference in military defense and make a big fuss.
By then, things will not end well.
"The Mi family is a bunch of useless people, father and son. After they messed up, they pushed all the blame onto Madam Mi, wanting to sacrifice a woman to save the men in the family. But do they think the emperor is the same tyrant Ning Kang? Will he accept their cleanup?"
"Oh, if Mi Dong doesn't destroy himself, then he will just have to wait for the imperial decree to sentence him to death."
"Besides, if Kang Rong could achieve fame through death, why can't Mi Dong? With such a great opportunity right in front of him, doesn't he know how to follow suit?"
"If he doesn't know how to follow suit, give him a hand."
"Yes, I will get it done today, please rest assured, sir." After hearing this, the leader of the death squad did not feel scared, but instead admired Master Ming even more.
He felt that Young Master Ming had the talent to govern the world at such a young age, and if he followed him, he would definitely become a founding duke in this lifetime.
"Well, keep an eye on Mi Dong and do it properly. Don't make any more mistakes, or I will clean up the mess!" Master Ming said at the end with a vicious tone.
After instructing the leader of the death squad to prepare to return to Beijing and other matters, he waved his hand and let the leader of the death squad leave.
"This servant takes his leave. Young master, please rest well." The leader of the assassins bowed and stepped back out of the room before straightening up and walking straight ahead.
The next afternoon, a major event occurred in Taizhou Prefecture.
"The famous scholar Mi Dong committed suicide in public, leaving behind a will that said he was redeeming his wife's sins, and that he had dreamed of Mr. Rong and cried so hard that his pillow was wet, so he decided to follow Mr. Rong and become a free and unrestrained immortal!"
"Mr. Mi Dong even donated half of his family's wealth to help the country fight the enemy!"
"I also ask everyone to burn paper and inform him when our dynasty wins in the future, so that he can rest in peace!"
Tsk tsk, as soon as I heard this, I knew it was Master Ming who had someone shout it on purpose.
But upon hearing the news of his death, Wei Min was still shocked: "Oh my God, the famous scholar Mi Dong committed suicide? How could he be so depressed?"
"This was a renowned scholar, a great figure whom countless scholars longed to meet, yet he was killed because of a woman's mistake!"
"Mrs. Mi, this foolish woman, has harmed a great talent of our dynasty!"
Mrs. Mi said, "Fuck you, I was always doing things according to Mi Dong's wishes. Now that things have failed, I have also borne the consequences. Why are you only scolding me?"
Return the great talents of the country?
Mi Dong was just a man famous for his calligraphy. He never defeated powerful enemies for the Chinese nation, never invented a universal new medicine for the Chinese nation, never discovered a high-yield grain, and never even wrote a brilliant article that enlightened and enlightened people. How could he be considered a great talent?!
But no matter what, Mi Dong's death, under the praise of Ming Gongzi Fang, became an act of noble character... Don't ask how this is related to noble character? In short, Mi Dong's death was famous.
The Mi family's reputation was preserved.
The Mi family took advantage of the Ban family girl's marriage and forced Deputy General Zhao to conduct a surprise search. They were suspected of interfering in military defense matters, but their guilt was greatly reduced due to Mi Dong's death.
But as soon as Mi Dong died, Deputy General Zhao was in trouble. Upon hearing the news of his death, Deputy General Zhao was shocked, angry and regretful, and he fainted. He was carried back to his mansion by the soldiers.
His beloved wife, Madam Zhao, burst into tears: "Dad, wuwuwu, I am so stupid, I have harmed you."
He also said, "How about I hang myself? One of our family members will die, and this way our guilt will be reduced by half."
Good heavens, Deputy General Zhao almost fainted again from her stupidity. He pinched his philtrum and said, "Calm down. Besides eating and sleeping, don't do anything else unnecessary!"
"His father, you are so mean to me, wuwuwu." Madam Zhao cried very sadly, thinking that Lieutenant General Zhao thought she was too stupid and that he would either spoil her or take a concubine!
Deputy General Zhao: “…”
Please let go.
For the first time, I felt a little regretful about marrying her.
However, Madam Zhao was truly beautiful, and she had been his wife for nearly twenty years. After Lieutenant General Zhao calmed down, he had no choice but to shoulder the responsibility and said, "This is not your fault. It's my fault for not being able to see through the Mi family's scheme and becoming a scapegoat for them."
"I fought against His Majesty, and I have to take responsibility for my mistakes... Don't worry, I won't die, but my family will probably have to go back to our hometown in the Northwest to farm."
"Go back to my hometown to farm? Don't worry, we can still live a comfortable life back home." Mrs. Zhao burst into laughter.
After looking around again, he secretly told Deputy General Zhao, "The ladies here are so rich. They gave me so many things. Under the pretext of sending New Year's gifts to my relatives back home, I sent most of the valuable gold, silver and valuables back home and buried them in our family cemetery..."
"It wasn't buried in the first coffin. After we dug up your parents' coffins, we dug another grave below them and hid it there. Even grave robbers wouldn't have guessed."
"..." Deputy General Zhao was almost mad. "You unfilial daughter-in-law, you even disturbed my parents' graves! Did you choose a day before you disturbed the graves? It's not easy to disturb the graves without choosing a day."
Zhao's parents, whose graves were disturbed, said: You two are husband and wife. I am really impressed by you two unfilial people!
Mrs. Zhao felt guilty: "No...but I dare not choose a date to do it openly, otherwise the villagers will notice us and dig up our graves and steal our belongings."
"Alright, alright, let's leave it at that." Deputy General Zhao, fearing he would be pissed to death, stopped asking questions and instead instructed Madam Zhao, "Prepare two valuable gifts. One to the Ban family to apologize and clear up the misunderstanding. The second to Madam Cui, asking her to take care of you."
"Madam Cui is wise. You should learn from her."
Maybe it can help him grow some brains.
"Yes, I'll remember that." Mrs. Zhao didn't argue and agreed obediently. She then asked, "What about our eldest son's marriage? After what happened yesterday, can our eldest son still study and take the imperial examination to become an official? How about sending him to Taifeng Town and letting him study with Mr. Jing?"
"Oh no, no, no, there's probably a war going on over there. Our boss can't go. If he dies there, wouldn't I have given him life in vain?"
Deputy General Zhao, however, thought: "Sending the boss to the Northeast Province might help him improve and restore his reputation."
"The eldest is younger than Ying Zilin, and Young Master Ying hasn't even married yet. There's no rush for our eldest's marriage. Don't worry about that for now, just finish the two things I asked you to do first."
"All right," Madam Zhao agreed, then asked worriedly, "Father, His Majesty won't order you to commit suicide, will he?"
My wife is very beautiful, but she has a big mouth.
Deputy General Zhao closed his eyes, then opened them again before saying, "Now is the time to mobilize our forces. Even if Your Majesty is mad at me for not being able to rise up, he won't kill me. At most, he'll let me start over as a soldier. It's not like I haven't been a soldier before."
Mrs. Zhao whimpered again, "But Dad, you're not young anymore. If you continue to be a soldier, I'm afraid you won't have a bright future and will only die on the battlefield."
Lieutenant General Zhao was numb to such kind words mixed with poison. He just said, "Don't worry. The fact that I have been able to live with you for so many years proves that I have a strong life."
But Mrs. Zhao still cried for a while before taking the gifts and going to the Ban family to apologize.
Coincidentally, Madam Cui was also at the Ban family. She had made a promise to the Ban family and Ban Fu: "Mi Dong's death has nothing to do with your family. I will keep an eye on the outside world and will not let any bad rumors about the girl spread."
The matter of Mi Zhao involved the Ban family. Now that Mi Dong is dead, the Mi family seems to have become innocent. In contrast, the girl from the Ban family will probably be criticized by others as a source of trouble.
Mrs. Cui also promised: "If the family currently discussing marriages asks to cancel them because of this, then cancel them. I will personally find you a good and reputable marriage."
