After Liu Bowen received Xia Ren's order, he began to prepare to deal with those families, of course, mainly those families in the West.

The families in the south and the north, Liu Bowen will also clean them up by the way, the Qin family and the Shen family, the largest in the south, have already given up, and the rest are some small miscellaneous fish, which does not need to spend too much energy at all.

As for the northern ones, when the time comes, I believe that those people will also make the right choice, mainly from the Western families.

In fact, during this time, these families were also very unsteady, not only the local people's complaints about them became deeper and deeper, but also their life in the court was becoming more and more difficult.

Anyway, no matter what happened or not, several cabinet ministers always had to say a few words against them, and every time they met at the court, these cabinet ministers would pick out some faults and accuse them.

After all, they are cabinet ministers, and the weight of their words is still very heavy, and since they have questions about you, you have to spend time and energy to explain, so that they are thinking about how to deal with the cabinet minister's questions every day, and they have no energy to care about other things.

Feng Mansion.

The eldest son of Dingxi Hou, Feng Xiyao, the secretary of the ministry, was talking with Fang Jiaxu, the eldest son of the Zhenxi Hou and the secretary of the household department, at this time.

"Brother Feng, why is it just the two of us this time? Brother Qin, Brother Shen and Brother Guo didn't come?"

Fang Jiaxu originally thought that Feng Xiyao was going to convene their five major families to discuss together, but after arriving, after waiting for a while, he found that he was the only one.

Feng Xiyao's face was also a little unsightly at this time, and he said in a deep voice: "I sent someone to invite, Qin Dao and Shen Feitong said that there was something wrong and rejected my invitation, and Guo Xun was the same, he may have seen that Qin Dao and Shen Feitong did not go, so he also found a reason to refuse my invitation." ”

"This..."

Fang Jiaxu was stunned!

Then he hesitated: "Are they united? want to fall into the trap for us at this time? Or are they shaken in their hearts?"

After speaking, Fang Jiaxu was also worried.

If the Qin family, the Shen family, the Guo family, and these three families don't join forces with them, then the strength of their family will drop another notch.

Especially when they heard the news of the war with Chu in the DPRK this time, they were shocked in their hearts, they didn't expect that His Majesty's newly formed legion would be so strong, and it would be able to fight Great Chu to come to negotiate peace.

If the army is strong, then Your Majesty's confidence will be stronger, and then their families may really be in danger at that time.

Thinking of this, Fang Jiaxu's heart became even more impatient and worried.

At this time, Feng Xiyao said in a deep voice: "I don't know if the three of them have wavered, but they must have other ways to protect themselves, otherwise they will not refuse to accept my invitation, you must know that if we don't unite the world's families, then it will be difficult to fight against Your Majesty." ”

"Something else, to protect yourself?"

Fang Jiaxu was stunned!

Then he hurriedly said: "Could it be that they have already taken refuge in Your Majesty in advance, just like the Yuan family in Donghai Prefecture at the beginning?"

Feng Xiyao didn't say anything, and after a while, he said slowly: "There is also this possibility, if they really take refuge in Your Majesty, then it will be a little difficult for us to do." ”

"Then what should we do? Do we also want to take refuge in Your Majesty?"

"Do you think it's possible? Will Your Majesty accept our refuge? Will he believe us? Can we give up everything?"

Feng Xiyao asked Fang Jiaxu a few questions.

For a while, the scene was a little quiet!

After a while, Feng Xiyao sighed: "Let's send what happened in the court today and our speculation to the family, and see what they can do." ”

After speaking, his eyes were a little gloomy and he said: "It is not so easy for Your Majesty to move our families, and it is impossible to incite some people when the time comes." ”

Fang Jiaxu also nodded.

At this time, they thought that they could still resist the imperial court by inciting the people, and although the people resisted them deeply during this time, they were also very confident in their prestige in the local business for thousands of years.

As everyone knows, the ending may be a little different from what they think!

Time passed slowly, and five days passed in a blink of an eye.

In the past five days, two court meetings have also been held, but unlike in the past, Liu Bowen and the others did not continue to find trouble with those families as before, but were very unusually silent.

This made Feng Xiyao and Fang Jiaxu even more uneasy in their hearts, I am not afraid that you will say it openly, I am afraid that you are secretly holding back something bad!

In the past few days, Feng Xiyao and Fang Jiaxu invited Qin Dao, Shen Feitong and Guo Xun twice, among which Qin Dao and Shen Feitong still did not agree, only Guo Xun came once.

This made Feng Xiyao and the others even more convinced that maybe something was wrong with the Qin family and the Shen family, and it was very likely that they had already taken refuge in the imperial court.

And after Guo Xun came once, he found that Qin Dao and Shen Feitong still didn't come, and they didn't come after that, and his heart was also full of doubts at this time.

Now the situation of the Qin family and the Shen family made him a little confused, he didn't know what to do, after all, their Guo family had the best relationship with the Qin family and the Shen family before, and now these two families seemed to be hiding something from him, which also made him feel a little uneasy.

"Brother Shen, please forgive me for taking the liberty of disturbing me!"

Shen Mansion, Guo Xun took the initiative to look for Shen Feitong this time, wanting to know the recent specific situation, otherwise the uneasiness in his heart would never linger.

"Brother Guo is polite, I don't know why Brother Guo came to me today?"

Seeing that it was Guo Xun, Shen Feitong probably knew the purpose of his coming, and during this time, he was actually waiting for Guo Xun to take the initiative to come over.

After all, they have a good relationship with the Guo family, and they don't want to watch the Guo family fall into the abyss like this.

"Brother Shen, I won't be polite to you anymore, Feng Xiyao looked for us a few times a few days ago, but you and Brother Qin didn't go, are you already..."

After speaking, he glanced at the palace and did not continue.

Shen Feitong was silent, and after a while, he nodded slowly.

Seeing Shen Feitong nodding, Guo Xun's face changed slightly, and then he said in a deep voice: "When did it happen?"

"Just before the battle with the Manxia. ”

"So early? Do you believe that Your Majesty is not going to attack you?"

"Probably not, both of us have descendants who have been sent to the palace and have been named concubines, but it has not been announced to the public yet, and when the time comes, we will announce it. ”

When Guo Xun heard this, he immediately cried and laughed, and pointed at Shen Feitong and said, "You guys, you two are really a good idea." ”

After speaking, he sighed a little and said: "Alas, it's a pity that my Guo family doesn't have a woman of appropriate age worthy of Your Majesty, otherwise I would have learned from you and sent her to the palace." ”

Shen Feitong smiled and did not speak.

After a while, Guo Xun spoke again: "Do you really believe that Your Majesty can solve the problem of the world's family? You must know that this is a problem that countless Xia Emperors have not solved." ”

"What if you don't believe it? It's already come to this point, can you still regret it? Besides, since Your Majesty came to power, everything he has done has begun to suppress the family, if you don't take refuge at this time, will you take refuge when the catastrophe comes?"

After Guo Xun heard this, he also sighed, "It seems that my Guo family is also going to make a decision." ”

When Shen Feitong heard this, he smiled and said, "What's the matter, your Guo family is going to make the same decision as our two families?"

"What else can you do if you don't do this? Our Guo family's strength can't compare with the two of you, let alone the two in the West, at most it is the strength of the Qian family in Donghai Prefecture, but you don't know the fate of the Qian family, if our Guo family has no one to help and survive, then the result can only be the same as the Qian family, with nothing." ”

"Aren't there still the Feng family and the Fang family, they should be able to help you, right?"

Guo Xun sneered and said: "They? They are difficult to protect themselves at this time, and they still help me? Moreover, Western families are very xenophobic, if they don't need the assistance of our Guo family, they will help me? ”

When Shen Feitong heard this, he laughed and said, "You are still self-aware. ”

After speaking, his face turned straight, and he said in a low voice: "To tell you a piece of news, if you want to take refuge in Your Majesty, you have to hurry, preferably in the next few days, because Your Majesty is about to make a move." ”

When Guo Xun heard this, his face changed, and he said in a deep voice: "Is this serious?"

Shen Feitong nodded.

"Don't thank you for your kindness, if Brother Shen has something to do in the future, just say hello. ”

After speaking, Guo Xun left in a hurry, he had to go back and get ready early.

Fortunately, he is the only son of the Guo family, so he has the right to make decisions for the Guo family, otherwise if he has to wait for his father's consent, His Majesty may have already started to do it, and then go to take refuge at that time, it will not make much sense.

Back in Guo's mansion, Guo Xun first prepared a secret letter to inform his father Guo Shuangsheng, the Marquis of Beiling, about the matter, and then locked himself in the study, no one was seen, he had to think about it, and how to go to His Majesty next to appear to be level.

And the news that Guo Xun came out of the Shen Mansion did not hide it from people with intentions, such as Feng Xiyao and Fang Jiaxu.

"Brother Feng, it seems that Guo Xun has a lot to do with Shen Feitong! ”

Feng Mansion, Fang Jiaxu hadn't left at this time, and after receiving the news, his face was also gloomy.

Feng Xiyao didn't squeak, and his heart was also a little chaotic at this time.

He was also a little unsure of Guo Xun's thoughts at this time.

After all, he had accepted his invitation a few days ago, so he had taken refuge in His Majesty today, Feng Xiyao was a little unconvinced.

But today's Guo Xun's actions made Feng Xiyao a little uncertain.

"Could it be that Guo Xun also wants to take refuge in His Majesty?"

Feng Xiyao muttered in a low voice.

When Fang Jiaxu heard this, he also said in a low voice: "I don't rule out this possibility, you must know that their northern and southern families have always been at odds with us, and the relationship between them is very good, if the Qin family and the Shen family have already taken refuge, then there is no reason why the Guo family doesn't know! Maybe Guo Xun has been persuaded by Shen Feitong at this time." ”

Feng Xiyao also nodded after hearing this, and then sighed: "Let's wait and see, let's see what news there is on the family side." ”
