"Grandpa, what do you think of the case of the assassination of the two courtiers this time?"

After the dispersal of the dynasty, Ling Xuan deliberately walked with Situ Wen, just to know what his grandfather thought, Situ Wen was promoted to the left minister all the way, although he had the help of the Situ family, but his own grasp of all things in the court should not be underestimated.

"Does Your Highness really think that Yuwen Ming faked his death?

Situ Wen didn't say his opinion, but asked Ling Xuan in the court if he really doubted the Yuwen family.

"I don't think that the Yuwen family would take the risk of assassinating Su Sheng for the sake of a Ministry of Works, which is not in line with the family's standards, and I said those words just to disrupt the family's deployment. ”

Ling Xuan said with a smile, he knew that the little Jiujiu in his heart couldn't hide an old fox like his grandfather, as for Su Kai and Yu Wenshuo, they were just fans of the authorities, plus they were angry that their power in the court was shrinking, so they couldn't think calmly, presumably after they went back, they would soon understand.

"Yes, knowing that the enemy will be saved, the trust between the families is as thin as the wings of a cicada, as long as there is a little rumor, it may break. ”

"It's nice that you can think of this layer!" Situ Wen nodded in praise.

Grandpa praised it. Ling Xuan scratched his head embarrassedly, "Grandpa hasn't answered what I asked just now?"

"What do you think about this matter?" Situ Wen's face was solemn, and the next sentence made Ling Xuan extremely incredulous.

"Actually, neither I nor Your Majesty want you to find the murderer. Situ Wen's tone was heavy, as if this sentence evoked some bad memories for him.

"Why?"

Ling Xuan stopped, turned his head to look at Situ Wen, and looked surprised, knowing that this incident had directly affected the future careers of Situ Ning and Zhao Fei.

One of them is Situ Wen's only son, the candidate for the left prime minister in the future, and the other is the poor scholar who is favored by his father, so it is reasonable that they should catch the assassin and make these two people guilty and meritorious.

"Is it really like Han Feng said, we are going to use this assassin to attack the family and make them suffer a lot?"

Ling Xuan remembered Han Feng's words before the previous dynasty, although he didn't say it explicitly, but the meaning of the words was that the royal family assassinated Yu Wenming and the others.

"Of course not, if the assassination can greatly damage the vitality of the family, then the family is not worried. ”

Situ Wen shook his head and smiled, then he restrained his smile, his face was serious, and he said in a solemn tone.

"Forty years ago, Ling Guo was not one of the five great families, but of the six great families. ”

"What! The Six Great Families! How come I've never heard of this?"

Ling Xuan was even more surprised, in the past few years, in addition to cultivating and checking the progress of Jinyiwei, he had read the classics in the Wenyuan Pavilion to further understand the world, and almost knew all the major events in the past hundred years, but he didn't remember that forty years ago, Ling Guo was one of the six great families, and there was no record of the family being wiped out.

Wenyuan Pavilion was established by the royal family, which brought together all kinds of exercises and secret techniques in the world, and also recorded all the major and minor events that happened in various countries, and the existence and death of a family could never be omitted, not to mention that this was a matter of Ling Guo decades ago.

"That's because the royal family and the five great families jointly blocked the news, and the imperial court ordered that if anyone talked about this matter, they would be complicit in the crime and exterminate the nine clans. ”

Situ Wen said calmly, although his voice was calm, but Ling Xuan knew that his grandfather had always been more and more angry, so although Ling Xuan was confused in his heart, he did not interject rashly.

"This should be the first time in 10,000 years that the royal family and the family have worked together to do something. Situ Wen sneered.

"It's just that the royal family is there to maintain the majesty of the royal family, and the family doesn't want others to know about their despicable methods. ”

"Fifty years ago, when the first emperor was still in charge, the imperial family and the Shen family, one of the six great families at that time, secretly reached an agreement and made an oath under the Chixiao Divine Sword. Situ Wen's face showed a look of memory.

"The royal family helped the Shen family become the first in the family, above all the families, and the Shen family has been loyal to the royal family for generations, and fully supports the royal family to suppress the rest of the family, otherwise the bloodline will be cut off. ”

"In the past ten years, the imperial family has gradually strengthened its imperial power with the support of the Shen family, and a large number of scholars from the Han family have been used, the family has gradually declined, and the national strength of the Ling State has also been increasing day by day. ”

"Finally, the growing strength of the Ling State aroused the fear of all countries, and at that time, all countries sent troops to form a coalition army to attack and destroy our Ling State. ”

At that time, the Ling State had the intention of destroying the countries and re-establishing the Divine Dynasty, so the first emperor drove the expedition in person, wanting to use this war to greatly damage the national strength of the countries, and gradually encroach on the countries in the future. ”

"In the early days of the war, the hearts of all countries were uneven and suspicious of each other, on the other hand, the monarchs and ministers of our Ling country were single-minded, and the soldiers fought bloodily, and gradually repelled the coalition forces of various countries, and the monarchs of various countries sent envoys to negotiate peace, willing to respect the country as the co-lord of the world, and all countries submitted and loyal. ”

Speaking of this, Situ Wen is full of spirit, not like a septuagenarian, but like a young scholar who guides the country.

However, Ling Xuan pondered for a while, and it was not surprising, forty years ago, his grandfather was in his twenties, which was the age when he was young and promising and wanted to make contributions, and Ling Guo at that time was at his peak, and it was the best stage for people like his grandfather.

"What happened later? Why did the countries still exist, and why did the Shen family disappear?"
