The attitude of the saint towards the four great families, the 180-degree turn, the wrath of thunder, the speed of thunder, almost all of them were thrown into the prison overnight. Let the entire Great Sui be shaken.

Shen Xuezhang, who was far away in the south of the Yangtze River, opened the eight-hundred-mile urgent letter sent back by the second son overnight, his face was solemn and silent.

"Father, the matter has come to this, should we contact the other families and sign a joint letter? Before dawn, Shen Rongzheng climbed Siqing Mountain with the letter, and the corners of his clothes wet with dew had not yet dried.

Shen Xuezhang pondered for a long time: "The idea of the imperial family suppressing the scholar clan has never stopped since the first emperor was alive. Today's approach is simple and crude, and does not conform to the style of the saints in the past. ”

Impulsively and recklessly, the power of the clan in the capital was uprooted at one time, which seemed to be effective and in place, but in fact there were endless troubles. Each family is a force in its own right, and it has its own armed forces left in the ancestral homes of each family. For example, their Shen family claims to be a "master of articles", but they pull out their own trained soldiers, and they have an armed force that is not inferior to the Imperial Forest Army in the capital. This is also the fundamental reason why the first emperor did not dare to act rashly.

Over the years, the saint has been thinking about recovering the family's military power. After Li Ye's death, the military power of the Li family was directly taken back by the sage, and only Yu Wenyi was left in the position of a political leader in the army. But even if he has disowned the four families, he has always been in danger. This time, it was directly recalled by the eight gold medals overnight. The military power was handed over to Zhang Wei, a military general born in a poor family.

In this way, it is obvious that the royal family is opposed to the entire world. If all families and clans unite, it is completely possible to overthrow the government and change the dynasty.

"Write a letter. ”

If the saint is determined to cure the sins of Duguye and Yuan Shizhong, the more they jointly sign the letter, the worse things will be. Let the Xie family, the Wu family, the He family, the Jiang family and other families all prepare.

The experience of the family in Beijing made the clans in other places feel cold, and they all fought hard and stepped up their defense, for fear that Yang Min would make a mistake in his brain and cut the next big knife on his head.

The people of the world are not afraid of troubled times, and every Zhongming Dingshi home is a family that started in troubled times, and it is still standing after several dynasties of wind and rain. What I am most afraid of is that the new emperor will take office, unload the mill and kill the donkey, and the cunning rabbit will die and cook the lackey.

However, when everyone was tensing that heartstring, an unexpected news disrupted everyone's plans.

The saint is dead!

After Yang Min gave Duguye and Yuan Shizhong poisonous wine, he went that night.

The upper echelons of the Great Sui were in an uproar, and they were preparing for a long time, but they were not useful at all.

Yuwen Yanshu learned the news in the prison, and couldn't help but sneer, feeling that the old emperor knew that he would die soon, so he specially pulled someone to come back.

At the end of a person's life, death will mercilessly strangle his neck, and he will not open the net because you are the true son of heaven and the king of the world, nor will he show mercy to his subordinates because you have a bad fate in this life and have suffered all the hardships in the world. What should come can't stop his footsteps, and what should go can't keep his back, after all, dust will return to dust, and dust will return to earth.

Death is always the fairest existence in the world.

After hearing the news, Dugu Hui, who lived in the same prison, still had red eyes, which was different from Yuwen Yanshu, who had experienced a raid on his home. Her feelings for the emperor are still very complicated, when she was a child, the emperor hugged her and taught her how to copy the calligraphy. In her heart, it is not only the emperor who is high, but also a relative. Even if he killed her grandfather, she was still sad when she heard the bad news.

The last edict issued by the first emperor before his death was to cut down the four major families, the older ones fell to Huangquan, and the young ones were exiled to the frontier.

The crime is fornication with the enemy, not only physical evidence, a private correspondence between Yu Wenyi and the Tubo general, but also the human evidence brought by Yang Zhi. The ironclad evidence caught the excited clans off guard and died down.

"Eat, eat, and get on the road when you're done. The jailer dropped a tray at the entrance of the cell, on which were a few steamed buns that had long been cold.

"Where do we go, you say, we're going to be exiled?" Dugu sat curled up on the ground, her little face was so thin that she was only a little thin, and her expression was blank. Her tears dried up when she learned that her parents had committed suicide in prison.

Yuwen Yanshu leaned against the wall, looking at the roof tiles above his head in a daze: "The left is just the northern and southern Xinjiang and the like, I don't know what happened to my brother?"

"In the past, when Uncle Li died, the sage took back the military power, and later repeatedly reduced the number of people in the family and increased the strength of the state capitals, and my father said that the family would be uprooted one day. I didn't expect this day to come so quickly. Dugu sighed.

Yuwen Yanshu was silent, and the long river of history told her that every powerful minister would not end well. She thought that the world was different, but she forgot that in front of the imperial power, any rights were not allowed. Especially when the emperor has the power of life and death for everyone, life or death is just a thought.

Before this, all the historians evaluated Yang Min as "the king of the guard", however, after this incident, people have a new understanding of this king who keeps the success and does nothing.

He used his death to quickly solve the lengthy root system of the clan, leaving a chaotic situation and giving the most favorable opportunity to concentrate imperial power.

After the new emperor ascended the throne, he quickly controlled the local families. Among the courtiers, a new group of officials was raised, and these officials were all ordinary people who had passed the scientific examination and entered the scholars. If the children of the clan want to become a leader, they must consciously weaken the number of parts in their hands.

"You said that Yang Zhen ascended the throne, will you be crowned queen?"

Yuwen Yanshu sneered: "Are you still dreaming?"

The marriage with the Yuwen family is a smoke bomb that the Yang father and son jointly put on the family. The family's vigilance was lowered, and their plans were made easier to carry out secretly.

"I just don't understand, why does my father have a correspondence with Tubo?" Yuwen Yanshu was full of doubts.

Yu Wenyi is a general of the Great Sui, and he will not know that it is a big crime to communicate privately with a foreigner. But he still did it, unless he not only put his own life and death at risk, but also disregarded the lives of the nine clans.

Dugu sneered: "If you want to add to the crime, there is no excuse, fabricate a letter, and find someone to be a personal witness, who wouldn't?"

"You mean...... "Impossible, framing the generals of this dynasty who are guarding the frontier, what good is it for him, aren't you afraid that the latecomers will be chilled? Which emperor is so stupid, isn't this killing a thousand enemies and losing eight hundred?"

"He's going to die, how can he care about this, no matter how desperate he is, as soon as the new emperor ascends the throne, he will be appeased, heh, he is a benevolent monarch. "Dugu Cheng knows a little bit about these imperial techniques.

Within a few days, they were executed and sent to southern Xinjiang.

On the way to southern Xinjiang, Yuwen Yanshu learned the reason for everything Yuwenyi had done.

It turned out that Xiao Yuankong met Lirensong that year, listened to Lirensong's instigation, and assassinated the first emperor who went to Mount Tai to seal Zen at that time. After the death of the first emperor and Yang Min ascended the throne, Xiao Yuankong found out that he had fallen into the trap of others, because it was Yang Min who left the song. However, it was already too late, and he knew what he shouldn't know, and he was doomed.

The letter to and from Tubo was really not written by Yu Wenyi, but Yu Wenyi couldn't deny it, because the only one who could imitate his handwriting without missing any trace was Yang Min, who grew up with him since childhood.

Yu Wenyi's father wanted Yu Wenyi to leave a bloodline for the Yuwen family by breaking away from the family, but he didn't expect it to become a sharp knife raised in Yang Min's hand, and the tip of the knife stabbed into the heart of the family. Since then, the family has fallen into decay and fragmentation.

On the way to exile, Yuwen Yanshu heard that the eldest princess died violently, and was silent for a long time, so she tore off the jade on her chest and threw it into the river. Maybe in the first place, she shouldn't have come. (To be continued.) )
