"Lost!"

There was a long sigh, as if the old dog that had broken his spine was moaning, and the night was dark, and a group of people hid in the darkness.

It was pitch black, but it couldn't really be called night, because it was before dawn, but it was the darkest period before dawn.

This is a corner of the walls of the Imperial Palace, the majestic buildings are like giant beasts, and the gate of the Imperial Palace not far away, with lanterns hanging high, where the lights are bright, not as dark as here.

But for some reason, a group of officials of the family were reluctant to go to the gate of the palace.

They all hid in the dark corner, waiting for the palace door to open with gloomy faces.

Before, they were by no means so.

For example, just yesterday, when the officials of the family went to court, they held their heads high and liked to stand in front of the palace gate and wait, and the sound of their leisurely chatter was everywhere.

However, after only one day and one night, it was as if the heavens and the earth had changed.

"Lost......"

Deep in the depths of the wall, a sigh rang out again.

It was Wang Si sitting cross-legged, his face gloomy and twilight.

Seemingly overnight, he aged by dozens of years.

……

Knock knock!

There was a morning drum in the palace.

This is the customary drum beat, telling the whole Chang'an City that the morning is coming, and after nine drums, the main entrance of the palace will be opened.

At that time, it was the moment when the hundred officials entered.

Wang Si suddenly got up slowly, but his body staggered for a while, he tried to stand firm against the palace wall, and his face gradually showed a decisive look.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the family can't do it."

As the leader of the current world, he must cheer up all the officials of the family, otherwise if he continues to be so dull, the family may really become an old dog with a broken backbone.

He slowly glanced at the people present, and found that many faces were gone, and those who were missing had died in the city yesterday, and they were all elites of the family, all of whom were fierce generals who could fight well.

Wang Si tried his best to suppress the grief in his heart, gritting his teeth and making his face look peaceful.

But his eyes couldn't help but scan again, and one name after another flashed in his heart.

Yi Wei led the hussar general, Feng Li, to die on the streets.

Prince Wei led the general, Xie Shufang, and the blood stained the White Tiger Gate.

The general of Chang'an Zuowei, Wei Ting, was hit by more than 100 arrows in his body, and he still did not fall down when he was dying, and his eyes were wide with anger and let out the last roar.

When he died, he had fought to the point of being without soldiers, but he still stood with a gun and held on to the Mingde Gate.

There is also the general Ding Jie, whose body was cut into a pile of flesh by a random knife, he killed several fierce generals of Tiance Mansion, and his head was hung at the gate guarded to deter him......

……

One name after another, one deed at a time, Wang Si tried to keep calm, and decisiveness gradually appeared in his eyes.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the family can't do it."

He spoke again, with incomparable firmness in his voice, and said loudly: "In yesterday's battle, we lost, but we only lost the military strength, and did not lose anything else. The family can be inherited for thousands of years, and the heritage does not rely on force, we control ninety percent of the world's readers, and we control the books of the past and present. If the family falls, there will be a disconnect in knowledge in the entire Central Plains, so we can't fall. ”

He glanced at everyone, his tone gradually became sonorous, and said: "There is a jar of honey in the world, and the family brews eighty percent, once that Gu Tianya in Hebei criticized us for sucking the blood of the people, but he also had to admit that the wealth of the entire Central Plains was created by us, and the family operated countless industries and families, and fed countless people. And these are the foundation of a nation! Our bones are indeed soft, and we really have no country in our hearts, but Gu Tianya once said that we are indeed the backbone of the Central Plains......"

At this time, I suddenly heard a sigh, it was Cui Gong who looked up to the sky and sighed, and said with self-deprecation: "Gu Tianya said that we are the backbone of the Central Plains, but he did not say that we are the backbone of the nation. ”

As he spoke, he looked at everyone and said with a wry smile: "These two backbones are different, and the so-called backbone of the Central Plains is just because we are holding a lot of wealth." Able to run an industry and feed some people...... So, when he says 'backbone', he doesn't praise us. ”

"But that's enough."

Wang Si argued loudly and said, "Even Gu Tianya said that the huge wealth in our hands is the backbone of the entire Central Plains. This is the accumulation of hundreds of years and thousands of years by the ancestors of all families and ethnic groups, and it cannot be taken away by someone by relying on a sword soldier. Even if we give it to others, others will not be able to take it away without thirty or fifty years. Besides, will we be willing to let people take it? Although Gu Tianya's 'backbone words' are not praise, he said a fact that cannot be changed, that is, the Central Plains is inseparable from the family! ”

This time, with the help of Gu Tianya's name.

Due to Gu Tianya's tough performance yesterday, he forcibly took away the 'orphans' of the Prince's Mansion directly surrounded by the army of Tiance Mansion, so his reputation shook overnight, and he vaguely had a posture of soaring to the sky.

Even Gu Tianya said that they were the backbone of the Central Plains, and it was obvious that they were really the indispensable backbone of the Central Plains.

During the time present, the officials gradually regained their firmness, and the hesitation and panic in their hearts slowly dissipated.

Wang Si is worthy of being the master of a generation of gate valves, and he used the name of Gu Tianya to regain the confidence of the people of the family.

He suddenly looked at the gate of the palace and said in a deep voice: "In the court, we are still the loudest voice, and in the local area, we have as many as ninety percent of the officials. We lost yesterday, but we only lost. And how? Who can do anything to us? ”

It's true that no one can tell the family what to do.

At least no one can do anything about this season.

If Datang wants to continue to exist, it is inseparable from the governance of countless family officials, and if Datang doesn't want to collapse, then it can't kill all the families.

Although the Maison lost its soldiers in the battle yesterday.

But the reason why the Maison really stands tall is not because of the soldiers.

It is a huge and incomparable inheritance of knowledge, which is the heritage of more than ninety percent of the world's scholars, and these heritages have been inherited for thousands of years, and a huge system has been formed, even if it is taken away by others, it will not be taken away in thirty or fifty years.

……

Knock knock!

Suddenly the sound of horses' hooves sounded in the distance.

In addition to the sound of horses' hooves, there was also the sound of wheels pressing against the ground, but in the darkness of the night, another force slowly appeared.

It was the military generals of Tiance Mansion, and they also came to participate in today's early dynasty.

The family officials present looked at it from afar, and the expressions on everyone's faces became ugly, their faces were just ugly, and the hatred in their eyes was so thick that they couldn't be resolved.

"Everyone, don't put hatred on your face......"

Wang Si suddenly spoke up, with a deep hint, and said: "Although we have a deep hatred for each other, on the surface, we have to laugh, not only do we not hate, but we have to come forward to congratulate." Congratulations to these people, who have since become upstarts. ”

An official of the family couldn't bear it, and suddenly gritted his teeth and said: "Before yesterday, they were just a group of young people, but now they are showing off their might, and they actually came to the court without being selected by the court. Once the villain was ambitious, he was dominant. How many men in my clan have been killed, how can this hatred be greeted with a smile, and my hatred will be engraved on my face......"

Wang Si glanced at him coldly, and scolded him sharply: "If you keep having this idea, the old man will drive you out of the court." ”

That person was also a backbone, and when he heard this, he sneered and retorted: "As the patriarch of the Taiyuan Wang clan, your prince may not be able to guarantee that he will still stay in the court. ”

This is extremely offensive, it is said that Wang Si should be angry, but Wang Si sighed lightly, nodded and said: "Yes, the old man is indeed not safe." ”

He paused as he spoke, and then said, "However, the old man still wants to scold you." You must extinguish the thoughts in your heart, and you must not have hatred on your face all the time. ”

The man looked at the people of Tiance Mansion who were approaching from afar, the killing intent in his eyes was almost indissolvable, and he gritted his teeth again and said, "I want to make their hatred clear." ”

This time, Wang Si was finally furious, and said with hatred that iron is not steel: "Then don't blame the old man for being ruthless, use his strength to drive you away from the court first." ”

At this moment, I suddenly heard Cui Gong sigh slowly and said, "It may be better to keep him in the court." ”

Wang Si was slightly stunned.

But seeing that Cui Gong also looked at the people of Tiance Mansion who were approaching from afar, he said solemnly: "The sea of blood is deep, and we don't share the sky, we understand this matter, and those on the other side also understand." Brother Wang Sixian said that he wanted to laugh at them, which is very right, but we can't all laugh at them, some people have to keep their hatred and let each other see ...... all the time."

Saying that, he looked at Wang Si, and said meaningfully: "You can't be a man in eight ways, otherwise it's easy to lose your mind, you should be a man with six sides, and the other two sides are thorny, so that you can advance and retreat freely, and keep your mind from losing." ”

These words are indeed philosophical.

If you have been exquisite, you will gradually lose the confidence to compete with others.

Wang Si blurted out: "But this will make the other party vigilant and secretly deal with those who maintain hatred." ”

As he spoke, he looked at the family official just now, and said in a gentle tone: "The old man doesn't actually blame you, the old man scolded you for being afraid that something would happen if you went on like this." ”

The man was silent.

Cui Gong still looked at the approaching cars and horses of Tiance Mansion, and said leisurely: "Some of us have hatred, if the other party wants to make a move, we will protect these people, this is the way of fighting that the family is good at, and it can keep the will of the family from losing, Brother Wang Sixian, what do you think of the old man's thoughts?" ”

Wang Si lasted for a long time, and finally nodded solemnly and said: "Gong Cui's vision is far-reaching, and the old man is ashamed of himself." ”

Cui Gong smiled leisurely, no emotion could be seen on his face or in his eyes, as if so many people were killed in the family's defeat in the first battle yesterday, but it couldn't make a little wave in his heart.

He just watched the chariots and horses of Tiance Mansion approaching from afar, and suddenly said with a smile: "The hour is almost up, let's go up to the court together." ”

This was the first early dynasty after the Xuanwumen Incident.

Something is bound to happen above the early dynasty.

Some people are finally about to step onto the big stage of history.

……

…… The first is here
