Wang Yitian is not afraid of anyone except his own father.

Prime Minister Wang's face was as gloomy as water, and his eyes swept coldly. Wang Yi immediately restrained his arrogant character and stood up honestly: "Father, I'm back."

Prime Minister Wang said coldly: "What nonsense did you say to the princess in the prison of the Ministry of Justice?"

Wang Yi was stunned and glanced at Wang Jin quickly.

Wang Jin was somewhat helpless. Even if he wanted to file a complaint, he didn't have the time! The two brothers had always been together! It seemed that someone in the Ministry of Justice must have tipped off.

As expected, Prime Minister Wang started to scold him: "You bastard! You have almost made me lose face!"

"The princess inspected the six ministries on behalf of the emperor. She is of noble status. The ministers of the six ministries have to be respectful when they see the princess. Even I have to bow and salute. Who do you think you are! How dare you say such things about the princess! You have brought shame to the Wang family!"

Wang Yi was so angry after being scolded that he didn't dare to contradict his father, so he had to bow his head and admit his mistake: "My son is wrong, please calm down, father."

Prime Minister Wang snorted heavily, put his hands behind his back and turned to enter the palace: "Follow me!"

Wang Yi felt a tingling sensation on his scalp and winked at Wang Jin.

Why don't you come and help your brother? Can't you see that my legs are weak?

Wang Jin's mouth twitched slightly, but he could do nothing about his brother, so he stepped forward and held Wang Yi's arm. Wang Yi was a big fat man, twice as big as Wang Jin. He leaned over and Wang Jin almost couldn't hold on.

"Father is furious today. I wonder if he is going to punish me!" Wang Yi whispered nervously, "I am also over 40 years old and a grandfather. Father, at least give me some face."

"If father really wants to take action later, you have to protect me, your brother."

Wang Jin had no choice but to agree.

As it turned out, Wang Yi's worries were not wrong at all.

Prime Minister Wang took his good-for-nothing eldest son directly to the ancestral hall, ordered him to kneel before the ancestral tablets, and then took out a ruler about three feet long.

Wang Yi had been beaten countless times since he was a child. When he saw this familiar ruler, his fat body trembled and he begged for mercy: "Father, calm down. I really know I was wrong! I shouldn't have embezzled money and shouldn't have caused trouble for the Wang family!"

Prime Minister Wang's face turned pale. He raised the ruler and brought it down heavily.

There was a dull thud and Wang Yi grimaced in pain.

Wang Jin opened his mouth to plead for mercy, but Prime Minister Wang glanced at him angrily and said, "Shut up! Your elder brother has caused so much trouble, I will definitely teach him a lesson today. Just stand by and watch! If you make a mistake in the future, I will teach you the same lesson!"

Wang Jin gave his brother a helpless and apologetic look and stepped aside.

clap clap!

The specially made heavy ruler kept hitting Wang Yi's back. Wang Yi was beaten so hard that he cried out in pain: "Father, I was wrong! Ah! Stop hitting me! I won't dare to do it again!"

Prime Minister Wang was over 60 years old and had limited physical strength. After beating him with the stick for dozens of times, he could no longer beat him. He suddenly threw away the ruler, pointed at Wang Yi and angrily cursed: "You don't even know where you are wrong!"

"As a governor, embezzling some gold and silver is not a big deal. But you act too arrogantly and never avoid people, and make a small matter known to everyone. You also lack the means to control even the governor's office, and are betrayed and stabbed by your subordinates. This is incompetence!"

"I, the Prime Minister, have been troubled by you and have no choice but to confess my sins to the Emperor and recuperate at home."

Wang Yi's face was full of tears and snot, and he kept sniffling: "Father has returned to the court and is still the prime minister..." "Idiot!" Prime Minister Wang couldn't bear to see his eldest son acting so stupidly, and he slapped him in anger: "After this incident, my power as prime minister has been greatly reduced. I have to apologize to the emperor again and again, and even when facing Princess Nanyang, I feel a little weak. It's all because of you!"

Wang Yi had been imprisoned in the Ministry of Justice. As the prime minister, he felt like his neck was being strangled, and he was neither justified nor angry.

Today, Jiang Shaohua did not care about Wang Yi's rude words and pleaded with the emperor to release Wang Yi from the prison. This was another favor that he had to accept.

If this continues, how can he, the prime minister, stand up straight in front of Jiang Shaohua?

Officials of the Prime Minister's party will also become weak and give in. As one grows stronger, the other loses, and Jiang Shaohua will become even more arrogant!

Prime Minister Wang became more and more angry as he thought about it. He raised his other hand and slapped him again.

Wang Yi cried out in pain, covering the bright five finger marks with his hands, feeling aggrieved but not daring to argue.

Wang Jin finally stepped forward and supported his old father who was out of breath: "Father, calm down. Big brother has learned such a heavy lesson. He will be more careful with his words and deeds in the future and will not cause trouble again."

Wang Yi endured the burning pain on his face and lowered his head and said, "My official position has been taken away, and I will stay away from the court from now on. Even if I want to cause trouble, I won't have the chance. Father, just rest assured."

Listen, is this human talk?
Wang Rong's entire lifelong reputation will be ruined by this incompetent eldest son.

Prime Minister Wang exhaled forcefully and said in a deep voice, "Early tomorrow morning, you will leave the capital and return to your ancestral home."

Wang Yi was startled and looked up suddenly: "Father!"

"I have already arranged for your wife, children and family members to return to their hometown. You should go back too!" Prime Minister Wang said coldly, "You can be a rich man and live a carefree life. I will pass the position of the head of the Wang family to Silang in the future. Don't even think about it."

Wang Jin was also startled and raised his head quickly: "Father, I am still young and cannot take on such a big responsibility. Besides, I have my second and third elder brothers above me..."

"Your second and third brothers are mediocre in talent, not much better than your eldest brother." Prime Minister Wang said calmly: "If they were capable and promising, would I send them all away from the capital to serve in other places?"

"Silang, you are a close minister to the emperor, and your father has been teaching you diligently. In the future, you will be an important official of Daliang, and you must take on the responsibility of being the head of the Wang family."

Logically speaking, the position of the head of the family should be passed on to the eldest son. However, Wang Yi was not up to the task, so Prime Minister Wang gave up on this ten years ago and devoted himself to teaching and training his youngest son.

Wang Yi had already known what was going on. Hearing his father say this, he was not unconvinced. Instead, he breathed a sigh of relief. He covered his face and said to Wang Jin, "Fourth brother, I will rely on you to take care of me from now on."

Wang Jin only felt that the burden on his shoulders suddenly became much heavier.

Prime Minister Wang sighed and said, "I have to get up early tomorrow to go to the palace to preside over a small court meeting. Please send your brother off."

Wang Jin suppressed his complicated emotions and responded in a low voice.

Prime Minister Wang walked away.

Wang Jin stepped forward and helped Wang Yi up. Wang Yi cried out in pain: "Father, your hand is too heavy. You are not afraid of crippling me."

"Also, I just got out of jail, at least let me stay for a few days before returning to the old house. It's really heartless to let me go tomorrow."

"Oh, fourth brother, listen to my advice. Jiang Shaohua is too powerful, so don't worry about him..."
