In the previous life, five surnames and seven wangs, a thousand-year-old wealthy family, flourished from the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty to the end of the Tang Dynasty, and finally ended in the disaster of Zhuwen White Horse Station.

Of course, it is said that it is a thousand-year-old family, but these families are not always prosperous, and the vast majority of morale, these families maintain wealth through marriage.

There is no genius in his own generation who has risen to power, but he can use other talented families to cover one or two. In this way, the Maison has lasted for millennia. It is almost no different from the nobles of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

Of course, these families are still much weaker than the nobles of the Bangzhou period, after all, those nobles have private soldiers.

Luoyang, the capital of the gods.

Black and oppressive dark clouds covered the sky, and above the sky, the wind howled, lightning and thunder, and the heavy rain washed and fell, and the heavy rain fell like a curtain of rain, like a curtain of water.

The rain hit the stone slabs, splashing thousands of waters, and the hustle and bustle of Luoyang City became quiet. The rainwater gathered into small water on the stone slabs, and then flowed into the ditches, even the filth in those dark corners was washed away by the rain, and the whole Luoyang was washed out with a new look.

Imperial Palace, Qianyuan Palace.

Wang Ke stood under the eaves of the palace, looking at the rain curtain not far away, his heart couldn't help but fall into contemplation, when he was eleven years old, his father Wang Luo ascended the throne, and at the age of thirty-eight ascended the throne as the emperor, and now it has been twenty years old, and the world is becoming more and more prosperous in his hands.

It's just that he is not young anymore, and his energy is a little lacking, so he has been asking the prince to assist the government or inspect the world on his behalf for the past two years. But today, he always felt irritable and had no intention of dealing with government affairs, so he came to the eaves to watch the rain.

For his son, he felt very gratified, this is the prince he has carefully cultivated, and he believes that Daqian will continue to be brilliant in his hands.

Outside the city, a fast horse was galloping along the gallop in the rain, the sound of the horse's hooves beating against the ground, oblivious to the slippery road.

The bell in front of the horse sounded so quickly that even the pouring rain could be heard clearly, and a large amount of water splashed down his coat. The fast horse did not stop, all the way to the north, and soon saw the huge black shadow crawling on the ground in the rain.

The horses are constantly wheezing, and the hot air is constantly spewing from their noses, which is clearly visible in the rain.

At the Yongding Gate of Luoyang City, several guards were chatting, at this time, a crisp bell sounded through the rain curtain, and the half-asleep old soldier next to him bounced up instantly, and then shouted at a few people next to him: "Quick, open the post road quickly, there is a herald coming." ”

A few people next to him were excited, and hurriedly opened the gate of the post road next to them. As soon as the gate opened, I heard the sound of horses' hooves in the rain, and in the next second, a figure rushed out of the rain, jumped into the post road, and rushed towards the imperial city without stopping.

The sound of horses' hooves broke the tranquility of Luoyang City, and then disappeared into the imperial city.

Wang Ke opened the eight hundred miles in his hand to expedite, when he saw the prince inspecting, encountered a landslide, the horse fell and the horse broke his leg, his face changed suddenly, and there was a panic in his heart, and he suddenly got up and said: "Order the prime minister Wang Zhe and the left and right prime ministers to come." ”

"Yui!" The chamberlain next to him immediately hurriedly sent someone to deliver the order.

Soon everyone rushed over, and after learning that the prince had fallen from his horse and broken his leg, everyone's faces changed greatly.

"Your Majesty, please order a strict investigation of the Qing Shi Haoqiang within a radius of 100 miles!" The prime minister said without hesitation.

The prime ministers on the left and right also agreed.

"The edict inspects the imperial history, the Jinyang order, and will patrol with local officials!" Wang Ke's face was gloomy, and his body was full of murderous energy, and everyone in the hall was shocked.

At the same time, Wang Ke has also sent secret guards to investigate. Once it is discovered that this matter is really man-made, it will definitely set off a bloody storm at that time.

"The imperial physician ordered to rush to Taiyuan County immediately to treat the prince!"

"Yui!"

After all the things were dealt with, Wang Ke felt a little dizzy, and the attendant next to him hurriedly stepped forward to help him sit down.

The crown prince's broken leg, even if it is cured, there will definitely be troubles, and nine times out of ten it will be lame, which is definitely a big deal for the heir to the throne of a country.

With the exception of the founding monarch, the lame has basically ruined his throne. The crown prince that Wang Ke has worked hard to cultivate for more than 20 years is considered to be wasted. The next choice can only be made from the remaining children.

But after the birth of his eldest son, he ran around, except for the prince, whose eldest son was now less than eighteen years old.

He needs to raise a qualified heir as soon as possible in the next few years. His current body knows very well that it will not last for a few years, and when the new monarch ascends the throne, the lord Shaoguo is suspicious, and there will definitely be problems.

And at this time, he suddenly realized that there was another force in the DPRK and China - those noble princes. After these years of development, these nobles have become very powerful in the court, especially when he divided the princes a few years ago and divided the vast majority of the princes into all parts of the world.

At that time, it was also because the clan was powerful and worried about the anti-guest, which weakened the power of the clan.

But the power of the clan has weakened, and the strength of the court has naturally weakened, and it is no longer possible to suppress those nobles and officials.

Now that he has other sons, Wang Ke does not have the confidence at all.

Faced with this situation, Wang Ke thought quickly for a moment in his heart, and then the light in his eyes became more determined.

Next, Wang Ke continued to gather some ministers, and waited until the sky was dark and the palace gate was locked.

Early the next morning, the sky was clear, and the golden light fell on the Qianyuan Palace.

Wang Ke sat on the throne expressionlessly, the atmosphere in the hall was very solemn, and everyone was trembling.

At this time, an imperial historian in the back row of the main hall suddenly came out and said: "Your Majesty, the minister Jia Yi impeached the Marquis of Wuyang for committing murder and injured several people."

Accompanied by the imperial history Jia Yi's book, followed by several imperial historians.

"Your Majesty, Minister Zhao Qi impeached the Xuanping Hou family slaves for buying and selling, and taking advantage of them."

"Your Majesty, Chen Zhangjie impeached the Marquis of Yingyang before losing his honor"

For a while, several imperial histories came out to impeach the nobles, and the ministers above the hall immediately felt that something was wrong.

And Wuyang Hou and the others also looked bitter when they heard this, his son beat people, he lost money, and even the rebel was beaten by him and rushed back to the country.

And Yingyang Hou is even more aggrieved, yesterday His Majesty specially rewarded him with a jar of wine, let him get drunk, even if he washed up in the court today, he came with a strong spirit, and now he is actually impeached for his disgrace before the king?

Now that the palace is impeached by these imperial histories, these noble princes are very aggrieved. Just when they wanted to plead their case, the Minister of Internal Affairs Wang Zhe immediately came out and said: "Your Majesty, presumably your county marquis didn't mean to do this, why don't you send someone to investigate in detail?" ”

Wang Ke said coldly: "You are all important ministers of the country, but you know the law and break the law, arrogant and domineering, how to govern the country in the long run?" The edict sent them back to the fiefdom to guard the border and the people, in order to achieve after-effect. ”

Wuyang Hou, Xuancheng Hou and others never expected that they would be driven out of Luoyang City because of such a trivial matter. Even according to the law, they have already compensated for the aftermath, and it is too unjust to be kicked out of the court like this.

"Your Majesty, the ministers have been wronged!"

It's just that Wang Ke didn't relent, and directly ordered Yu Linwei to take these people out of the main hall.
