"To be precise, it is a shot at the Boling Cui clan in Chang'an City."

"Your Majesty, the other party has completely turned against you, you can't let them back, right?"

Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.

He knew that Li Shimin was more worried.

But now it is almost certain that the five surnames and seven wangs are supporting a person named Qingshan in Qingzhou.

In just half a month, this Qingshan talent has not only become an emperor with a mandate of heaven, but also won the love of the local people, and many people have taken refuge.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that since he has attacked Cui Zhentang, he will be ruthless and deal a heavy blow to the Boling Cui clan!"

Li Daozong suddenly agreed.

As a member of the royal family, Li Daozong was very dissatisfied with the arrogance of the five surnames and seven hopes.

Now the opportunity is rare, the patriarch with the five surnames and seven wangs is not in Chang'an City, and his prestige is much lower, and Cui Zhentang just happened to make a mistake.

Then take advantage of this opportunity to deal a heavy blow to the Boling Cui clan, and it is best to completely collapse the branch of the Boling Cui clan in Chang'an City.

"Why?"

Li Shimin took a deep breath and said in a deep voice.

Hearing Fang Yuan and Li Daozong's suggestion, Li Shimin became enthusiastic.

It's like going back to the days when the iron horse was sonorous and fought bravely.

"Your Majesty, Cui Zhentang is addicted to copper smelting, and the Criminal Department can arrest him with this."

"Then use the Boling Cui clan to shield Cui Zhentang, help Cui Zhentang smelt copper, and take away relevant important people to cooperate with the investigation."

Liu Zhenghui also spoke up.

Now is the opportunity.

If you want to do Boling Cui's clan, it's best to do it now.

If you don't, there's no need to talk about it.

"In that case, Li Daozong, Liu Zhenghui, I'll leave it to you!"

"I only have one sentence, I have to act quickly, and the rest of the five surnames and seven wangs will be dragged by you."

Li Shimin said in a deep voice.

The heads of the two major judicial branches are all willing to take action, so what is there to hesitate about?

"Obey the order!"

Li Daozong and Liu Zhenghui were ordered to leave.

It didn't take long for Li Shimin and Fang Yuan to be left in the imperial study.

Fang Yuan was about to say goodbye to Li Shimin, but was stopped by him.

"Fang Yuan, I have something to arrange for you."

"Prepare your firearms and wait for my orders."

"I didn't give you an order, and the firebolt couldn't appear."

Li Shimin said in a deep voice.

He had known the true power of the firebolt for a long time.

However, he updated to see how much there was a difference between the imperial power and the power of the family.

Li Shimin knew that with the decision made today, the other five surnamed Qiwang would definitely not sit idly by.

When the time comes, it will change from the imperial court targeting the Boling Cui clan to the five surnames and seven wangs targeting the imperial court together, that is, moving and affecting the whole body.

"I understand."

Fang Yuan said.

Finally, he said goodbye to Li Shimin and left.

As Fang Yuan left the palace, the Criminal Department and Dali Temple began to act.

"The emperor has an order, Cui Zhentang, the secretary of the household department, is suspected of smelting copper and causing the death of several people, and he will be immediately suspended and detained to the criminal department, and the three divisions will be tried!"

"According to investigation, Boling Cui Cui's Cui Jinchang, Cui Zhijing and many others provided convenience for Cui Zhentang, the head of the household department, and conspired with the copper smelting case, and took them away for investigation."

The Criminal Department and Dali Temple shot at the same time.

Two people appeared at the gate of the Boling Cui clan, and the number of people was enough to be about a hundred people next time.

This is the largest number of joint dispatches between the Criminal Department and Dali Temple.

However, this number of people was just a mantis arm as a car before such a large family of the Boling Cui clan.

Therefore, the Boling Cui clan did not panic at all, and indifferently welcomed the arrival of the Criminal Department and Dali Temple.

"King Rencheng, the lower official said that Cui Zhentang was crazy, are your criminal department and Dali Temple so impersonal?"

Cui Yuanting appeared with his clansmen.

The clansmen of the Boling Cui clan glared at Li Daozong and the others one by one.

The Criminal Department and Dali Temple jointly arrived, led by Li Daozong, Liu Zhenghui did not come, and he had other arrangements.

"Is it not, please go with this king, and have your own imperial doctor to check it."

"In addition, Cui County Order, please don't obstruct official business, otherwise your post will be suspended."

Li Daozong said in a deep voice.

He discussed with Liu Zhenghui not to arrest Cui Yuanting.

Cui Yuanting is the commander of Chang'an County, and he has a certain amount of power, and if he is arrested, there will be a great repercussion.

If you don't catch it, you may have a fluke mentality, and the resistance may be weaker.

Sure enough, after Cui Yuanting heard this, his face changed slightly, and he had another plan in his heart.

He seriously thought about it, there were a lot of people who took it away, but they were close relatives to Cui Zhentang.

In other words, Li Shimin is just acting impartially, not taking the opportunity to target the Boling Cui clan?!

But

"Suspension? It's up to you? ”

"Without the emperor's holy decree, you can't stop me, and I won't take Cui Zhentang away for you!"

Cui Yuanting said in a deep voice.

He had a fluke mentality, but he didn't want to try.

Now that the five surnames and Qiwang and the emperor have fallen out, it is useless to take chances.

Before the emperor did not move Cui Zhentang, then the one they left in Chachang'an City was considered to be subordinate to Li Shimin.

But when Li Shimin wants to move them, they will no longer submit to Li Shimin, and Li Shimin will not really want to accept them.

"Cui County Order, we are here by order, please cooperate!"

Li Daozong said in a deep voice.

As a prince, it's a shame to talk to a county magistrate like this.

"I can't cooperate, please go back!"

Cui Yuanting was resolute.

The clansmen behind him also glared at Li Daozong.

The prince was a big man outside, and before they Boling Cui's year, it was just like that.

"Do it!"

Li Daozong's face turned dark, and he immediately ordered.

The people from the Criminal Department and Dali Temple immediately walked towards Cui Yuanting and the others.

"Those who dare to break into the Boling Cui clan will blast out with sticks!"

Cui Yuanting retreated.

The insulted Bolingcui clan immediately rushed out.

In the face of the people of the Criminal Department and Dali Temple, they did not have the slightest fear.

The people in the Criminal Department and Dali Temple were worried that the matter would be too big to clean up, but they were not afraid.

With long sticks in their hands, they hit the people of the Criminal Department and Dali Temple.

The news of Cui Zhentang's arrest soon spread throughout Chang'an City.

The people were shocked and frightened by the emperor's sudden move.

Is it to impartially enforce the law to arrest Cui Zhentang and the people who helped him, or is it against the Boling Cui clan?

The five surnamed Qiwang, who learned the news, became vigilant as soon as possible, and called the clansmen outside to return to the house.

But the strange thing is that as long as there is an official position, all of them are suddenly very busy and can't leave their bodies, so the five surnames and Qiwang failed to discuss the results at the first time.

On the side of the Boling Cui clan, Li Daozong did not get any benefits, and after the two sides fought, the victory rate of the Criminal Department and Dali Temple was not large.

It happened that it was about to get dark, and Li Daozong left with the people from the Criminal Department and Dali Temple, and then came back again.

But when he came back again, Li Daozong arrived with three thousand gold guards, and he was violent, as if he wanted to break through the gate of the Boling Cui clan.

At this time, Cui Zhentang recovered from a frenzy, learned of the situation, and almost didn't anger him to death, and immediately discussed with the family elder to activate the family's first defense.

As night fell, the moon tonight seemed to be stained with blood.

It is silent, but it gives people a feeling of depression and danger.

Fang Yuan took Xue Rengui and Xue Bowu and several masters to leave the Fang Mansion overnight and went to the research institute to wait for Li Shimin's news.

In the night sky, not only Fang Yuan was in action, but there were more people in action.

The family almost didn't sleep, especially the five surnamed Qiwang, who almost rushed back home after dark.

The entrance of the Boling Cui clan.

Li Daozong brought 3,000 gold guards.

The army surrounded the mansion of the Boling Cui clan with great momentum.

"Your Majesty has an order, please ask Cui Zhentang, the secretary of the household department, to accept the order!"

Li Daozong held the holy decree in his hand and shouted loudly.

In the dead of night, the sound spreads wider.

Not to mention the entire Boling Cui Clan's mansion, but half of the mansion people heard it.

The Bolingcui clan is very large, and there are many people living there, which is beyond imagination.

Knowing that the imperial army was surrounding, they became uncalm and panicked.

Not long after, Cui Zhentang, Cui Yuanting and a group of clan elders appeared.

"Minister Cui Zhentang takes the order!"

Cui Zhentang said in a deep voice.

He already knew the daytime.

But since the emperor hasn't turned his back yet, he will pretend first.

"Your Majesty has an order! Cui Zhentang, the head of the household department, became addicted to copper smelting, causing several female babies to die and be disabled, and he will be suspended for investigation from now on! ”

"Cui Zhentang, please go to Dali Temple with this king!"

Li Daozong withdrew the holy decree and said in a deep voice.

He felt like there was going to be a tough fight tonight.

Li Shimin made him responsible, and he also thought of the possibility.

After all, Liu Zhenghui is old, and he is a civil servant, so it is difficult to deal with it.

"What about the evidence?"

Cui Zhentang said in a deep voice.

He had killed all the house slaves he knew.

The family that had seen him also sent killers to assassinate him, at all costs.

In this case, the emperor should not have proved that he was the one who harmed those girls.

"Just leave with this king and cooperate with the investigation."

Li Daozong said in a deep voice.

"Without evidence, I won't go with you!"

Cui Zhentang said in a deep voice.

The strength of the Bolingcui clan is here.

If Li Daozong wants to come hard, he must be prepared for the possibility of turmoil.

"The evidence is there!"

Li Daozong glanced at the assistant on the side.

The soldier immediately understood and led people towards Cui Zhentang.

"Even two creeps want to arrest me?"

Cui Zhentang sneered.

Immediately behind him someone stopped the movement of the soldiers.

Suddenly, the atmosphere on both sides became tense.

"Take it!"

Li Daozong's eyes were cold, and he didn't want to drag it out any longer.

If it drags on any longer, I don't know what the other families will do.

"Take it!"

Three thousand soldiers immediately went into action.

Qi Qi pressed in the direction of Cui Zhentang.

Cui Zhentang and the others had cold faces and stepped aside.

Immediately, there were clan soldiers in the palace who were ready to go.

One hundred, two hundred, three hundred. Soon 800 soldiers appeared.

Li Daozong looked at it with a cold face, surprised that the Boling Cui clan only had eight hundred soldiers.

It's not that I think the number of people is large, but I think the number of people is small, and it doesn't look like the data of a super family.

In fact, what Li Daozong didn't know was that after Cui Runyu left, a large part of the clan soldiers left.

What was left behind were some clan soldiers on the verge of elimination, as well as domestic slaves forcibly matched by Cui Zhentang and others to play a deterrent role.

These Li Daozong were unmoved, looking at the people who were slowly approaching on both sides with expressionless faces, watching them move.

The two sides are fighting!

At first, no weapons were used.

Later, I don't know who drew the knife first, the situation has changed!

In terms of numbers and strength, Jin Wuwei took a big advantage, and the soldiers of the Boling Cui clan fell one by one.

Cui Zhentang, Cui Yuanting and others looked at it, their faces were ugly.

If this development continues, the Bolingcui clan will suffer heavy losses tonight.

But

At this time, there was a sudden sound from all sides of the street.

There was the sound of running from several directions, and hundreds of thousands of reinforcements dared to come.

"Qinghe Cui led eight hundred clan soldiers to ask the reason!"

"The Taiyuan Wang clan led eight hundred soldiers to ask the reason!"

"Xingyang Zheng led eight hundred clan soldiers to ask for a reason!"

"Fan Yang Lu led eight hundred clan soldiers to ask for a reason!"

Four teams appeared.

They all arrived with 800 soldiers.

The sound was huge, and it was their voice all night long.

People who had already fallen asleep were awakened to the feeling that something big was going to happen tonight.

Among the five surnames and seven wangs, except for the Li family of Longxi and the Li family of Zhaojun, the other surnames came.

At this moment, more than 8,000 people gathered on both sides at the gate of the Boling Cui clan, and it had become a huge battlefield.

The war, which was about to enter incandescent, stopped.

Cui Zhentang, Cui Yuanting and the others looked a lot better, but it was Li Daozong's turn to look bad.

"Do you five surnames and seven hopes want to rebel?!"

Li Daozong said in a low voice.

My worries still came to me in the end.

Fortunately, the Li family of Longxi and the Li family of Zhaojun did not come, otherwise the situation would have been even more severe.

After the rise of the Li clan in Longxi and the Li clan in Zhaojun with the rise of a small branch of Li Shimin, there were internal opinions on the Li clan of the royal family.

Some still look down on the royal Li family, but some were secretly co-opted by Li Shimin and secretly submitted to Li Shimin.

So the two tribes did not appear tonight.

"We have no intention of rebelling!"

"But the imperial court's treatment of the Boling Cui clan like this chilled the hearts of the scholars in the world."

"People who have worked hard for the country for most of their lives can't be courteous, but they are plotted by others, it's too wronged!"

Cui Zhentang stood up and said in a deep voice.

The more you are at the top, the more you pay attention to the right way to do things.

Justification will reduce a lot of invisible resistance and increase the success rate.

"This king said, there is evidence!"

"What happened in front of the White Tiger Club is already known to everyone."

"Cui Zhentang, please go back with this king, don't make it difficult for this king!"

Li Daozong said with a dark face.

In the face of Bolingcui's repeated failure to achieve the desired results, Li Daozong was already very angry.

Now that I see that almost all of the five surnames and seven hopes have come, I feel despised and feel even more unhappy.

"Everyone knows that it can't be true."

"King Ren Cheng, I also ask you not to be aggressive!"

Cui Zhentang said in a deep voice.

Even if he can prove his guilt tonight, he will not leave.

With his identity, Li Daozong would definitely not torture him if he took him away.

But following the past like this is to confirm the current situation, and it has lost the reputation of the Bolingcui clan.

The reputation of the Bolingcui clan cannot be tarnished, and the glory of the family is as good as my generation!

"In that case, let's see the real trick on the ground!"

Li Daozong took a deep breath and said in a deep voice.

The emperor had already given the order to die, and there were other preparations.

Then you can do things according to the requirements on your own side, and leave the rest to Li Shimin.

And he did not believe that there was no hope of victory against three thousand against five thousand.

As he spoke, Li Daozong drew his sword for the first time, and walked towards Cui Zhentang with a cold face.

Cui Zhentang and the others' faces changed, but they gritted their teeth and made a decision.

With a wave of his hand, the soldiers of the Bolingcui clan immediately went into action.

Seeing this, the soldiers of the other families started one after another, and the battle began.
