The wind in the Western Regions has not yet passed, and the storm in Chang'an City has come again, and the people of the Imperial City Division Yamen have united with the Right Guard, and when the curfew has not started at night, this is already arresting people in Chang'an City.

Generally speaking, if the yamen of various ministries come out to arrest people, they are all committing some ordinary crimes, and they are not very serious, but if the people from the imperial city department and yamen come out to arrest people, this is not a trivial matter.

If a noble child commits a crime, at most he will be taken in and reprimanded, as long as there is no life, he will take money to atone for his crime, but if he enters the imperial city department, some things are not easy to say.

This time, in addition to the children of the five surnames and seven hopes, the most important thing is that a child of the royal family was also caught.

Tang Gaozu Li Yuan had no power, and then was sent to care for the elderly by Li Shimin, but this old man was not idle, and he would get some children out every once in a while, and as a result, Li Shimin suddenly had more than 10 younger brothers.

Li Yuanchang, who was pestled by Li Xiang at the beginning, is one, and Li Yuangui, who is kneeling in front of Li Xiang now, is also one.

Li Yuangui, King of Sui.

It's not good to listen to this title, but according to the rules of the Tang Dynasty, all the sons born to Tang Gaozu Li Yuan must be crowned the king.

The Tang Dynasty was taken from the Sui Dynasty, and since he was given this title, it means that Li Shimin does not treat this person well, so he still has a good life in normal times, and does not mix with these political events.

As a result, in the process of the investigation of the Imperial City Division, this guy not only contacted the secret agents of the Arab Empire, but also contacted the relatives and nobles from them, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the mastermind.

Kneeling next to him was Wang Qianbing, the current patriarch of the Taiyuan Wang clan.

The other children of the five surnamed Qiwang also participated, but the entire family was not involved, according to the previous rules of the Tang Dynasty, only these people need to be killed, and they will not be investigated deeply, after all, they are the big families involved in the whole body.

It's still Li Xiang and Li Shimin's business method, it doesn't hurt to cut the flesh slowly, we can't kill them all at once, if we kill them all at once, the turmoil in the empire caused is not something we can bear.

But the Taiyuan Wang family is different, the whole family is in the lowest state, so they have to gamble, and the whole family is involved.

Of course, how happy it was at the beginning, how depressed it is now, the 72 main sons of the Taiyuan Wang clan are all in the prison now, and Li Xiang is also sitting on the interrogation seat of the Imperial City Si Yamen to see what else these two people have to say.

"The five surnames and seven wangs were also well-known back then, although there were various contradictions with the imperial court, but they would not defect to the enemy and betray the country, do you have anything else to say now? If there is nothing to say, more than 70 main disciples of your Wang family will launch Chang'an City tomorrow. ”

Li Xiangyi said solemnly, these are all well-known figures, but I didn't expect you to collude with the Arab Empire, in a vain attempt to create chaos in Chang'an City, and then affect the entire Western Regions, so that the countries in the Western Regions will fall to the Arab Empire, if that is the case, the army of the Arab Empire can go directly to Gaochang.

In addition, the countries of the Western Regions can also form a coalition army of more than 100,000, and these hundreds of thousands of coalition troops will fight with the army of the Arab Empire.

"There's nothing to say about this, it's nothing more than success and defeat, is there still five surnames and seven hopes? Under the repeated blows of His Highness, how much has our strength decreased? I'm afraid that no one knows better than His Royal Highness, when my Taiyuan Wang clan was once prominent, your Li royal family did not dare to confront us, what kind of life are we living now? Don't say anything, as long as we fail, then we can't deal with you, and remember, your Li royal family may not be able to go further, and it is impossible for you to be the master of this world. ”

Wang Qianbing is also a bachelor, he knows that to this point, the other party must have all the evidence, otherwise it is impossible to arrest these more than 70 people, you must know that more than 20 of them are still officials in various places, if these people are arrested, there will be a lot of people involved, but the Tang Dynasty still does this, which shows that the evidence is ironclad.

Hearing that this guy is quite fearless, Li Xiang really doesn't know what to say, betraying his country and nation is still so justifiable.

"I don't want you to say anything more, since you have said this, except for these more than 70 people, no one in your Wang family can stay, and pass on the will of this king, the nine clans of the Taiyuan Wang family."

When Li Xiang's words were finished, this guy didn't have the calmness he had just now.

The death of more than 70 people is indeed a heavy loss for the Taiyuan Wang family, but at least the family still exists, but if it is the Zhujiu clan, it is equivalent to nothing.

"Wait and so on, saying that Your Royal Highness is fair, and there are hundreds of old, weak, sick and young people in my family, are they also doing something wrong? They didn't even know about it. ”

Facing the whole family, the patriarch finally couldn't help it.

"Although you are a Han Chinese, but what you do is not against the Han people, our internal struggle is just like what you said, and my Li family cannot continue for thousands of years, but this is all our internal struggle, and we can keep the Han family, but what you do will make us unable to keep the Han family, once a foreign race enters the Central Plains, do you know how many people will die?"

There are a lot of such things in history, when the nomads entered the Central Plains, the fate of our Han people was extremely tragic, and the five lakes were not unaware of the chaos, and the Han people at that time were called two-legged sheep.

When Li Xiang said this, the patriarch of the Wang family didn't know what to say, what he did had indeed exceeded the bottom line of others, so although Li Xiang's punishment was a little more severe, it could be regarded as a reminder to other people.

You can do whatever you want to do with internal strife, at least you won't let the Han family fall into the hands of others, but if you collude with foreigners, this is your result, and no one can avoid it.

"If you want to cooperate with a foreigner in your next life, then you should be a foreigner."

Li Xiang waved his hand, and his subordinates pulled this guy out, and the rest was Li Yuangui, the king of Sui.
