The meaning of the simple four words made Li Hongdu's heart tremble, although he had enough psychological preparation for the identity of the person behind the scenes, but what he never expected was that he was not facing a certain person, but the entire Shi clan!

"Shandong Gate Valve?"

Li Hong's eyes were slightly cold, and his expression was rarely a little distressed. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Since the Wei and Jin dynasties, the gate valve has been divided, and the scholars have prospered, and among the large and small scholars, the five surnames of Shandong are the most noble, and the concept of the family has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and it is difficult to shake it at all!

Taiyuan Wang is one of the so-called five surnames and seven hopes!

And the most troublesome thing is that these big families rely on their noble bloodlines, and they pay the most attention to the right people, and usually only marry within a few families, even if they are the Li royal family, they have been repeatedly rejected to ask for marriage from these big families.

Over the past hundred years, these families are intertwined and closely related, and they have simply turned Shandong into an iron bucket, if this matter is manipulated by the Taiyuan Wang family, I am afraid that things will be really difficult to handle!

"Yes, after many investigations by the ministers, it was finally determined that the mastermind behind this matter was committed by the Taiyuan Wang family, but although this matter was handled by the Taiyuan Wang family, the Shandong gate valve has always been one, I am afraid that the family of the five surnames will not be able to get rid of it, if you act rashly......"

Di Renjie nodded, his expression was even darker, and the power of the Shandong gate valve, even Di Renjie was a little discouraged.

"Even Lone may not be able to move their foundation!"

Following the former's words, Li Hong's eyes lit up and he continued.

To tell the truth, the power of Shandong Gate Valve is indeed amazing, you know, now is the era of the poor door is difficult to get out, these families have the knowledge, and then master the career, in this court, large and small countless officials, are inextricably linked with the five surnames and seven hopes, the royal family wants to use them to govern the country, but they have to be constrained.

This has been realized since the time of Emperor Taizong, so Emperor Taizong once ordered that the family should not intermarry with each other, and in the generation of his father Li Zhi, he rebuilt the clan chronicles and deliberately suppressed the flow of the five surnames and seven hopes, hoping to reduce the influence of the five surnames, but with little effect.

I'm afraid this is also the reason why Li Zhi wants to press this matter, the gains outweigh the losses!

Although this case is a cancer and outrageous, once the Taiyuan Wang family is moved, it is equivalent to facing the entire Shandong Gate Valve, and then causing a huge turmoil in the entire court.

At that time, the Tang Dynasty's western expedition was not peaceful, and the eastern expedition was imminent, and what was needed was a stable rear, so even Li Zhi could only choose to compromise temporarily!

"Your Highness, the relationship between those scholars and the ministers in the court is complicated and inextricably linked, if you want to thoroughly investigate this case, you will inevitably encounter resistance from the court......

Seeing that Li Hong's expression changed drastically, Di Renjie also sighed, and said with a complicated face.

"No, Huaiying, this matter is very important, Lone said at the beginning, no matter who is involved in this case, it should not be taken lightly! To this day, loneliness is still this sentence! ”

After a while, Li Hong's expression was awe-inspiring, but his attitude was very firm.

Now that he has made up his mind, he must pull out this tumor!

The reason why he lost his mind just now was because Li Hong suddenly understood what Li Zhi said to him in the Jiucheng Palace.

It turns out that even if you are an emperor, you have times when you are not powerful!

Frowning, Li Hong vaguely remembered that it seemed that in the original history, the power of the gate valve was completely declined in the hands of the Empress Wu......

And this is also the most criticized place in the life of Empress Wu!

She used a group of cool officials such as Lai Junchen and Zhou Xing, and used the most violent, but also the most effective means, to comprehensively exchange blood for the court, and all the courtiers who were involved with the Shandong gate valve were expelled from the political center.

At the same time, the imperial examination system was launched on a large scale, and the children of the poor family were used to replace the gate valve forces!

It can't be said that it is not a strong man's wrist break!

Although it is harsh and harsh, it is the most effective method, using the short-term chaos of the court situation in exchange for the defeat of the Shandong Gate Valve!

At least in Li Hong's impression, since then, the Shandong gate valve has been in a slump, and there is no trend of a comeback......

You know, this is almost walking a tightrope on a cliff, and if you don't grasp the slightest measure, the whole country will be thrown into complete chaos!

But Empress Wu did it......

"Your Highness?"

Seeing that Li Hong was so distracted, Di Renjie thought that he was worried about how to solve this matter in the text, and was about to persuade again, but when he saw Li Hong wake up, he waved his hand and said in a deep voice.

"In this way, Huaiying, you go back immediately, sort out the previous case file and send it to the East Palace, and then continue to investigate the case, and make sure that this case is an iron case!

But don't arrest people first, when it comes to the people of the Taiyuan Wang family, avoid each other for the time being, and after the case is clear, hand over the list to Lone! ”

Li Hong paced back and forth in the hall, speaking very slowly, as if every sentence was carefully considered before speaking.

After a pause, his voice became serious.

"Remember, this case must be secretly investigated, do not alarm others, if necessary, you can go to the East Palace to find the king...... If necessary, you can go to the East Palace to find Lonely! ”

Li Hong originally wanted to say that he could ask Wang Fangyi for help if he had something, after all, it was not excluded that there were some crazy people.

But before the words came out, I remembered that the Wang family of the world came out of Taiyuan!

I'm afraid that Wang Fangyi will inevitably be difficult to do, so he stopped talking!

In fact, the more he touched the center of this matter, the more Li Hong could understand Li Zhi's helpless mood, the courtiers and henchmen around him were all people of the gate valve, even if they were not, they also had an inseparable connection with these scholars, if they wanted to completely crack down on the gate valve, the first thing to bear the brunt of it was they who let it, the emperor was also a human being, how could he be ruthless!

At the beginning, Li Zhi didn't know about the crimes committed by Li Yifu, but he was from a poor family and was a sharp knife against the family!

It's a pity that he was knocked down by Li Hong, a stunned young man......

But fortunately, now Li Jingye can be regarded as experienced, and things are handed over to him the same!

Li Ji is a young general, and the characters who fought on the battlefield have little to do with such a family!

"Your Highness, rest assured, the ministers will do their best!"

Di Renjie arched his hand, but his expression was very firm.

In the East Palace, Li Hong sighed deeply, in fact, he knew in his heart that the means of the martial arts queen were the most effective.

can completely uproot the power of the family with the fastest speed, but at the same time, this cruel method also breaks the integrity of the courtiers!

But those who dare to write against it will only be ushered in repression and prison, and over time, it will only make the king truly a lonely person, unable to speak and have no ambitions, which has shaken the foundation of the country!

Li Hong is not a martial queen, he doesn't have such ruthless methods, but this doesn't mean that he doesn't have his own advantages......

You must know that his East Palace storage position for more than ten years has not been done for nothing!

A hint of determination flashed in his eyes, and Li Hong got up and turned into the inner palace...... (To be continued.) )
