Chapter 3209 Harem 71

The money from selling the servants made the Wu family happy for a few days, but due to their lavish character and inability to save money, they soon ran out of money. With no other choice, they began to sell concubines.

They had money before, and they sold a lot of concubines like Yun Ji, but fortunately they were rich at the time, and all the concubines they bought were beautiful, so they could sell them at a good price now, and some wealthy businessmen were willing to take over. After all, the Guogong Mansion The concubine who came out, this banner, can attract some wealthy businessmen who are willing to accept it.

Seeing that they had been sold, these concubines were as satisfied as the servants.

You know, when they were accepted by the Wu family, they thought they would be able to enjoy the glory and wealth when they entered the Duke's palace. However, within a few years, the emperor fell, and the Wu family was going to die. Now they have to drink from the northwest wind. In this case , they naturally don’t want to follow the Wu family and be sold to wealthy businessmen. Although their status has been reduced, they don’t have to live a simple life like the Wu family, and they are naturally satisfied.

The money gained from selling Concubine Ji was more, which allowed the Wu family to live comfortably for a while, but in this way, the servants and Concubine Ji could no longer sell it. If they continued to sell it, there would not be enough people to serve them, and As for Concubine Ji, the remaining ones are ones she likes and is reluctant to sell, so the Wu family will start drinking from the northwest wind again.

In the end, he could only rely on renting some houses in the Duke's Mansion to the juren who came to Beijing to take the exams, collecting some rent and supplementing their livelihood.

The Duke's Mansion was also a big loss, and the Wu family reduced many servants, resulting in a significant reduction in the number of people in the manor. As a result, there were many houses available for rent, which also brought in some rental income.

Of course, the money was naturally spent by the Wu family as soon as they got it, and not a penny was saved.

People in Beijing couldn't help but shake their heads when they looked at the Wu family. They thought that the Wu family had reached this level and still didn't want to save money. They were still as lavish as before. If they were willing to save money, they would have sold so much. The money Ji Concubine got was enough for them to buy some more fields, get more income, and pay off the foreign debt they owed as soon as possible. As a result, they didn't do this at all, but spent it all. There will be no such family in the future. Whatever develops, it will remain in decline.

So each family restricted their children and told them not to associate with the Wu family, lest the children be ignorant and be seduced by the Wu family through some means. If they want to marry into the Wu family, or if they want to marry a daughter of the Wu family, they will have to Being stuck with such a group of vampires.

In fact, not only the high-level circles in Beijing and central China dare not get involved in the Wu family's situation, but even wealthy private businessmen do not dare to get involved.

In the past, some down-and-out nobles could still rely on marriages with wealthy businessmen and use the high dowries sent by the wealthy businessmen's daughters to supplement their own financial losses. Then the wealthy businessmen could borrow the honorary's name to make business more convenient. In this way It’s the best of both worlds.

But the reputation of the Wu family was so bad that even though the family held the title of Duke, no one dared to get involved with them, for fear that they would wipe out their entire family.

What's more, those wealthy businessmen also heard that the Wu family had offended Concubine Yu and the Yu family, and they were afraid that they would end badly in the future, so no one dared to deal with the Wu family. The Wu family wanted to marry a few of their children of the right age. It is impossible for the daughter of a wealthy businessman or a girl of the right age to marry the sons of several wealthy businessmen to get some money and subsidize the family, because no one dares to touch their family. The girl or boy from the Wu family instantly becomes the most popular marriage partner in Beijing. Difficult people.

Not to mention that An Ran only made a little effort and the Wu family fell from the clouds in an instant, but that after the eldest prince supervises the country and she listens to politics behind the curtain, Queen Liu learned the news and was stunned.

You know, originally she was thinking about whether she could come out after the emperor fell. After all, she was the queen. Now that something happened to the emperor and the queen mother was gone, she was the number one person in the harem. At this time, she shouldn't be Does she come out and take charge of the overall situation?

As a result, the former minister asked An Ran to listen to the government behind the curtain without mentioning anything about her. This naturally confused Queen Liu. She thought that according to the rules, the former minister should let her, the queen, listen to the government behind the curtain. After all, how could the imperial concubine be allowed to listen to the government behind the curtain? Those who listen to politics behind the curtain, especially when the queen is still there.

So Empress Liu asked her mother's family to send someone to mention this matter.

Although the Liu family is already in dire straits, its energy supports him to say such a thing.

Empress Liu felt that her suggestion was reasonable. After all, she was still the empress and the eldest prince's aunt, so why should the person who listened to the affairs behind the curtain be not the empress but the imperial concubine.

In the end, it was a good thing that she didn't mention this matter. After mentioning it, An Ran was now free to deal with her, and immediately asked the former ministers to impeach her. After all, the emperor did not execute Liu Shoufu for the sake of Conglong, who had killed so many people. Queen Liu, An Ran has nothing to do with her, so she can take revenge if she wants.

So soon, when Empress Liu said that she should handle politics from behind the curtain, the news about the previous impeachment flew over like snowflakes.

Many ministers requested that Queen Liu be deposed on the grounds that Queen Liu had killed countless concubines and royal heirs over the years.

At the same time, in order to let the wronged souls of the emperor's heirs and concubines rest in peace, a three-foot-long white silk should be given to let the soul of Queen Liu return to the underworld and apologize to those people in person.

This proposal was approved by the cabinet, and an edict was immediately written and sealed with a jade seal.

If the emperor is really dead, this will not be possible, because the new emperor usually does not want to kill the queen mother, at most, he will die of illness, but now that the emperor is not dead, he can still use his excuse to depose Empress Liu.

So didn't Queen Liu say that she was the queen and she should be the one who listened to the affairs behind the curtain? Well, now, she was no longer Queen Liu, and even she no longer existed, so what else could she be called?

Queen Liu was stunned when she saw that not only was she deposed, but she was also given a white silk ribbon.

She originally thought that Yu Anran was lucky enough to have the former ministers support her, so she shouted that she would also listen to politics behind the curtain. It would be okay. Once she was lucky and got it, her fortune would be good. Who knew the cabinet would make such a decision?

She also didn't expect that not only did she not get the chancellor, but the cabinet wanted her own life, which naturally frightened her.

But at this moment, she was so frightened that there was no point in yelling anymore. She could only watch as the eunuch in the palace sent her to Bai Ling and hanged her to death. She didn't want to commit suicide, so the eunuch had no choice but to send her on her way.

After Empress Liu's death, the already declining Liu family was too frightened to say anything. After all, they had encouraged Empress Liu in the previous dynasty to let her listen to politics from behind the curtain. Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, Empress Liu would He was deposed and killed for killing his concubines and the emperor's heirs. This did not frighten the Liu family.

Liu Shoufu has been dead for many years, and the lingering shadow he brought to the Liu family is dissipating day by day. Now something like this has happened to Empress Liu. The Liu family is really afraid of being implicated by Empress Liu. After all, killing the emperor's heir is like this. , seriously, it can kill the nine tribes, so how can the Liu family not be afraid?
