Since Li Yuan established the country, a balance has been formed between the central and local family forces of the Tang Dynasty.

This balance is a tacit understanding reached between the powerful of the family, the establishment of the Li family, the world is equivalent to a reshuffle, so the landlord of the powerful family takes the Li family as the Son of Heaven, and at the same time the Son of Heaven accepts the outstanding children of the world's major families into the court as officials.

Of course, there are also emerging nobles who have risen, that is, the heroes who followed Li Yuan and Li Shimin to fight the country, most of them started from recklessness, such as Li Xiancheng biting gold, etc., these emerging nobles also occupied a certain position in the court.

Therefore, the current pattern of the Tang Dynasty is that the Son of Heaven rules the world, and those from the family occupy most important official positions, supplemented by the emerging nobles and scholars, as well as a small number of children from poor families who have entered the government through the imperial examination.

Such a pattern is actually unhealthy, because the power of the family is too large, and they have too much power in the local area, even greater than the emperor's holy decree.

Accustomed to subduing the world, how can the son of the Li family, who dare not obey, stand it?

So in Li Zhi's generation, he made it his lifelong goal to weaken the family.

This has affected Li Zhi's tendency to deal with the government, no matter what happens, as long as it involves the family, it will be suppressed first.

This is the case with the eight major wang clans in the south of the Yangtze River, if you stand on a fair standpoint, strictly speaking, the eight wang clans and Li Qinzai are all at fault, and the most appropriate way to deal with it is as Dou Dexuan said, each of them will play fifty boards.

But Li Zhi disagreed, what he wanted was Liwei, and he wanted to beat down the arrogance of the family, and at the same time, he also wanted to take this opportunity to kick out the officials related to the Eight Great Clans in the court, and give the position to someone more trusted.

Liu Renliang's recital is equivalent to a crusade against the family, and when the courtiers saw Li Zhi's vague and ambiguous attitude, they immediately understood which way the wind was blowing.

The courtiers frantically went up and denounced the crimes of the eight major clans in Jiangnan, and they participated in the impeachment of not only chasing and killing the Shangguan family, raiding the bus driving in Liaodong County, but also digging out the old past.

The Eight Great Clans dared to do these arrogant things in Chang'an City, of course, it was impossible to do so for the first time, only their long-term rampant behavior, and the long-term patience of others, could boost the arrogance of the Wang Clan, which became more and more uncontrollable.

Therefore, we must take the handle of the eight major wang clans and grab a handful of them.

From Chang'an City's forced buying and selling, bullying people, and wantonly buying land in the Guanzhong area, to local interference in political affairs, resisting imperial court decrees, etc., all kinds of shady things in the past have been dug up.

The courtiers became more and more excited, and the Eight Great Clans finally became anxious.

A few days after the incident, the people in the court were boiling back, and the officials from the Eight Prominent Families were panicked and defended themselves.

The wang clan has its duty in the locality, and our officials from the wang clan are honest in Chang'an, and all the accusations are untrue, and some people are deliberately slandering, please learn from the Son of Heaven.

As for rebellion or something, it is a great frame, the Wang clan has been loyal since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, and the Li family is the main one, and the Wang clan has never supported the army, let alone dare to have any dissatisfaction with the imperial court.

The matter is not over, and no matter how loud the self-defense is, it is no bigger than the impeachment of the whole city.

On the third day of the courtiers' impeachment of the Wang clan, the Taiji Palace suddenly issued a will.

He ordered Yousi to thoroughly investigate the case involving the eight major families in Jiangnan.

"Thorough investigation" means that as long as the courtiers play the content of the impeachment of the wang clan, whether it is true or not, you will check every pile, and if the radish is pulled out and the mud is brought out from the back of the case, it must also be investigated.

The officials of the Eight Great Clans panicked.

Relying on the power of the family to sit in this position, who is not a piece of shit? Who can stand up to scrutiny?

The Son of Heaven and the imperial court are not deaf and blind, it is impossible for them to know anything about what they have done before, but in order to stabilize the overall situation, the Son of Heaven deliberately pretended to be deaf and dumb.

Now that the Son of Heaven has issued a thorough investigation, it shows that Liu Renliang's song has been planted in the heart of the Son of Heaven, and the Son of Heaven has doubts about whether the Eight Great Clans are rebelling.

Any dynasty, once the word "rebellion" is involved, it will be a catastrophe for families and individuals.

Even if there is no evidence in the end, if you don't die, you have to peel off your skin.

While the officials from the Wang clan panicked and defended themselves, countless letters flew to Jiangnan, asking the family to come forward.

Disaster is coming, and reinforcements must be called.

…………

In the spring evening and summer solstice, the lotus flowers in the pond quietly show their tips, accompanied by bursts of frog chirping, irritability with a bit of peace.

Li Qinzai sat on a recliner in the courtyard, listening to the croaking of frogs in the pond, a little distraught.

Noisy and dozing off.

I was about to let the tribe come over, go into the pond and catch all the frogs, and make an oily field chicken to drink at night, but Steward Wu hurriedly came to report and his disciples visited.

Li Sujie rushed in first, followed by Li Xian, the two princesses of Xuancheng Yiyang, as well as Xue Ne, Gao Qi, Wu Minzhi and others.

Li Qinzai looked at the sky, it was almost noon, he couldn't help sighing, and muttered: "I actually came here in time for dinner, everything is bad today, and I am destined to be rubbed ...... rice."

However, for the sake of the disciples helping them beat up the Eight Great Clans a few days ago, I will invite them to a meal.

"Sir is so elegant, and he lives much more comfortably than his disciples." Li Sujie stepped forward and saluted, grinning.

The disciples behind him saluted one after another.

Xue Ne is not a disciple, only he is the most polite, he came up and picked up a piece of crisp cake on the low table next to Li Qinzai and sent it to his mouth, and immediately frowned when he took a bite: "It's a little greasy, it's not delicious." ”

said that it was not delicious, but Xue Ne picked up a piece and put it in his mouth.

Li Qinzai pointed at him, and then said to his disciples: "This kind of person will most likely be beaten when he goes to someone else's house as a guest, so don't follow his example, be polite." ”

Li Sujie and others couldn't help laughing.

Xue Ne sighed and said dissatisfiedly: "Eat your two pieces of crisp cake, stingy!" ”

As he spoke, he picked up another piece and stuffed it into his mouth, looking at him defiantly.

Li Qinzai said calmly: "This piece fell to the ground just now, and I picked it up and planned to feed it to the dogs...... But hey, so do you. ”

Xue Ne's pop all erupted.

Li Sujie and the others couldn't help laughing, Wu Minzhi laughed the most crazy, and his whole body was swinging like a convulsion.

Li Qinjae looked at him worriedly, the madness of this goods seems to be getting worse and worse, do you want Kim Da-yeon to take his pulse, even if it is an incurable disease, he can take precautions and arrange a banquet in advance......

After everyone gathered around to greet each other, Xue Ne mentioned the feat of beating the Wang clan that day.

Everyone present participated, and the atmosphere suddenly became warm.

"It's not me who blows ......"

As soon as Xue Ne got up, Li Qinzai immediately translated next to him: "He means that he is about to start blowing." ”

There was another burst of laughter, and Xue Ne's high interest suddenly stagnated, and he said, "Brother Jing Chu, save me a little bit of face in front of your disciples, and besides, I also worked very hard that day." ”

"There are more than 100 people in the whole mansion of the Huiji Kong family, all of them were broken by me, and my guards used an iron boring with a thick arm, and the boring smashed down, and with a click, the bones were turned out, and I, a person who had been on ......the battlefield, was panicked."
