When Cui Hao returned to the city, it was completely dark.

He did not drive back to his house, but after tidying up a little, he immediately went to see King Yong.

At this moment, the palace is very quiet inside and outside, refreshing, completely free of the heat and boredom of the day.

The moonlight sprinkled on the desk through the windowsill, the breeze was slowly blowing, and Wei Shuo was sitting behind the desk with his brows in contemplation.

Like Kong Wei and Xiahou Ling, after reading Li Laohan's case, he left the scene.

It's not that Wei Shuo doesn't care about the outcome of the trial, but that he is very sure of this trial and has long expected the result.

The moon was very bright, and Wei Shuo looked out the window at the boundless night, and fell into deep thought.

"Your Highness, the right servant asks to see you." Kang Long reported in a low voice.

"Oh? Bo Yuan is back? Please. ”

Wei Shuo smiled and finally came back to his senses.

Cui Hao hurriedly walked into the side hall and arched his hand: "Minister Cui Hao, see Your Highness." ”

Wei Shuo smiled: "Bo Yuan has worked hard! ”

"Kanglong, serve tea! The moonlight is just right tonight, so Isola and Master Servant have a good chat. ”

As he spoke, he pointed to a seat by the window and said, "Bo Yuan, you sit there, there is a night breeze blowing there, and it's cool." ”

Cui Hao sat down as he said, drank another cup of herbal tea, and then reported the entire trial process to Wei Shuo in detail.

In the end, he said: "Your Highness, a total of 136 family heads were killed on the spot this time, which is unprecedented. ”

"Before the trial, the minister woke up in the middle of the night, and his heart was also uneasy, for fear of causing great turmoil."

"However, for the sake of the great cause of the lord, in order to drive out Hu Lu and revive China as soon as possible, the minister can only make up his mind."

"Throughout the trial, the common people were in high spirits, and their support for the government was greatly increased."

"This is enough to show that this trial was successful, and there will be no major turmoil in the Central Plains because of this."

"That's right! As long as the common people support the new policy, no matter how powerful the Central Plains family is, it will not be able to capsize. ”

"However, I thought that the Yandong family in southern Henan would never be tied."

"They all have a lot of manors in their families, and the tenant farmers in the manor are all dependent on the family, and they have always obeyed the orders of the suzerain, so they know that they will not jump over the wall in a hurry?"

"Your Highness is extremely worried!"

"The minister also believes that the next step is to prevent the rebellion of the Yandong and Southern Henan families, and completely eliminate the remnants of the family force, and directly bring the entire Central Plains under the rule of Hexi."

"Oh? Could it be that Boyuan already has a countermeasure in his chest? Wei Shuo said with a little excitement.

"At present, His Royal Highness occupies the position of righteousness, and he can directly order the implementation of the Juntian system in Yandong and Southern Henan, and this so-called salary draw from the bottom of the kettle is also."

"I'm afraid that the Kong family and the Xiahou family won't be happy, right?"

"Hey, hey! It is precisely to force them to take risks, so that His Highness can justifiably eradicate the Kong family. ”

Wei Shuo was silent for a moment, then nodded slowly: "Okay!" Next, everything will be left to Bo Yuan! ”

"In addition, in order to ensure that the next rebellion is foolproof, His Royal Highness asked His Highness to secretly transfer General Wang Zhongde to lead the Hedong Xiang Army south."

"Well, it's a good idea, it's a good idea!"

"However, it is estimated that it will take some more time to counter the rebellion, and now we must take advantage of the current judgment to completely overwhelm the family in terms of public opinion."

The next day, various newspapers in Hexi gave detailed reports on the entire process of the Luoyang trial.

All of a sudden, huge fluctuations were set off in the Central Plains, and all parts of the country were boiling, and all kinds of discussions were heard all over the streets and alleys.

"I really didn't expect the children of the family to be such people, I always thought that they were all righteous men and gentlemen."

"Whew! What a gentleman?! Each of them is a deception. ”

"In the past, I saw them shouting for the country and the people one by one, but they were all selfish and self-interested people, and they could do anything."

"I went to see it yesterday, and the children of the early family still wanted to quibble, and finally the judge presented evidence before they had to admit their guilt."

"These big families are getting more and more unbearable, and there is hardly a good person."

"For their own selfishness, they wantonly oppress the people, attack the Hanmen clan, dominate the court, and do whatever they want."

"If you want to say that King Yong is wise, he saw through the essence of the family early and insisted on eradicating the family."

"If you keep letting the family continue to be powerful, I don't know what will happen in the future."

……

In addition to the Central Plains, a wave of frenzy was also set off in various places because of the Luoyang trial.

Hexi moved quickly, and almost as soon as he declared the children of the family guilty, he immediately imposed capital punishment.

The Central Plains family really has a huge influence, and its conviction is a huge blow to the family.

Qufu Kong's family, Kong Wei has been back from Luoyang for several days, and the whole person is still gloomy and bleak, and his eyes are full of dryness.

Xiahou Ling still looked bitter and hateful, sitting in front of the desk, holding a wine bottle, and drinking slowly.

He looked up at the sky in the distance, and said gloomily: "This time, my Central Plains family has really suffered a heavy loss. ”

"Brother Kong, you are a descendant of Kong Sheng, if you obeyed King Yong at the beginning, you would never be Zheng Wen's turn to be proud now."

Kong Wei's face twitched a few times, and he exhaled deeply and said, "The concept is not compatible!" The Kong family and King Yong are not all the way. ”

"That's true."

Xiahou Ling nodded silently, their family has its own interests, and it is impossible to easily succumb to King Yong.

Even if they came to this point, Kong Wei and Xiahou Ling didn't think about kneeling and licking King Yong, and raised their hands to surrender.

Today, King Yong treats the family recklessly, causing trouble in the entire Central Plains, and the foundation of the family has been completely destroyed.

Even if they are given another chance, they will not change in the slightest.

There were a few plates of delicate side dishes on the table, but neither of them had the heart to move the chopsticks, only drinking wine without a pair.

After a long time, Xiahou Lingcai asked again: "Do you want to discuss it with Liu Yu?" ”

Kong Wei paused, put down the wine cup, but did not speak.

Xiahou Ling couldn't guess the specific plan of Kong Wei, so he picked up his wine glass and continued: "In three days at most, there will be officials who will go to the counties and counties in southern Henan to clear the land. ”

"With the head of the Liu family and others as a lesson from the past, if Brother Kong doesn't stand up, presumably the rest of the family will not have the courage to fight against Hexi."

Bang! Kong Wei slammed the wine glass on the desk and said fiercely: "It's not so easy to take the Kong family's property. ”

……

In the more than 130 years since the founding of the Great Jin Dynasty, in addition to the Sima clan of the imperial family, the most famous people are the various families.

Even in fact, the family seems to be more glamorous than the royal family, because the power of the court is almost always controlled by the family.

Fourteen years ago, the Battle of Weishui broke out, and Emperor Xiaowu took advantage of the situation to take back power from the family.

But unfortunately, Emperor Xiaowu died unexpectedly, and Sima Daozi was very talented, and finally let the family regain the central power.

Originally, the families thought that they would continue to maintain the rule of the gate lords and continue to be drunk and dreaming of death.

Unexpectedly, King Yong actually set off a storm in the Central Plains, and a large number of families were exterminated on charges of crime.

The sun is shining brightly, but many people in Jiangdong feel that the stormy wind and rain are slowly unfolding.

The sunset is like a brocade, the bamboo forest is covered, and a pavilion can be seen looming, which is simple and natural and elegant and chic.

The vermilion pillars, the cyan pavilion cover, and the light curtain are lifting, and a figure can be seen sitting upright, closing his eyes and listening to the melodious and melodious sound of the piano.

Suddenly, a handsome maid came to the pavilion, hesitated for a moment, and did not rush forward to disturb.

The maidservant stood outside the pavilion until the sound of the piano had completely disappeared, and then she respectfully greeted the young man in the pavilion.

"The head of the family, Huan Shangshu asks to see you."

"Ask him to come in."

A moment later, a purple-clothed man hurried with the maidservant, who was the court scholar Ling Huanqian.

"Captain." Huan Qian respectfully bowed to the young man in the pavilion.

Huan Xuan raised the corner of his eyes and said, "What made my brother come to Bengong in person in such a hurry?" ”

Huan Qian sighed and said: "Alas, King Yong fell out with the Central Plains family, and Wang Mi's mediation failed completely. ”

"There are many people in the court who are complaining about the Central Plains family, saying that Taiwei is too partial to King Yong."

The light in Huan Xuan's eyes flashed, his brows furrowed slightly, and he didn't say anything for a long time.

……

In the study, Xuzhou Mu Liu Yu was standing in front of the window enjoying the scenery outside, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

Of course, he had reason to be happy, because the situation in the Central Plains was developing step by step in the direction he expected.

On the other side of the study, Wei Yongzhi and Xie Hui stood impressively, the two of them were staring at Liu Yu's back, their eyes showing admiration and shock.

Suddenly, there was a sound of Ding Yi reporting from outside the door, interrupting Liu Yu's contemplation.

"Lord, the head of the Kong family has sent an invitation and wants to invite you to Qufu."

Liu Yu turned around, took the invitation from Ding Yi's hand, looked at it, and threw it aside.

"Long Dao, Xuanming and said, why did the Kong family send the invitation at this time?"

Thinking of the dark tide surging in various parts of the Central Plains now, Wei Yongzhi sighed lightly and said: "Lord, if the minister's expectations are good, I am afraid that the Kong family is ready to fight against Hexi by force. ”

Liu Yu bowed his head slightly and said: "The wind and rain are coming, and the wind is full of buildings!" ”

"However, Yu is not too worried about the situation in the Central Plains, because no matter how noisy the family is, it can't reach King Yong."

"It's just that the situation in Jiangdong has been unstable recently, and the family has frequently connected in private, and it seems that they are dissatisfied with Nanjun Gong's handling of the Central Plains."

Speaking of this, Liu Yu suddenly looked at Xie Hui and asked, "I wonder if Xuanming is willing to go back to Jiangdong?" ”

Xie Hui was stunned when he heard this, and said with a puzzled face: "The lord asked his subordinates to go back to Jiangdong?" ”

"That's right! After you go back, be sure to find out the specific movements of the major families and see which people are dissatisfied with Taiwei. ”
