Liu He meditated in his heart, and after confirming that there were no mistakes, he was ready to let Dai Zong send him out.

Now there are two days left before the Shangsi Festival, and we can't wait any longer.

Liu He hadn't spoken yet, but he saw that Dai Zong had an expression on his face that wanted to speak and stopped.

"Huh? Do you have anything to ask? Liu He asked with some indifference.

"Great Sima Wei Xuancheng...... His Majesty doesn't seem to have arranged a place for him to go......" Dai Zong asked cautiously.

Liu He did not respond to Dai Zong's question, but looked at Fan Ke on the side.

"Is Wei Xuancheng here?" Liu He asked unhappily.

"I'm here, I've been waiting in the side hall early." Fan Ke hurriedly said.

"Dai Zong, you go to the dormitory for a while, come and listen to what Da Sima has to say." Liu He sneered.

"Yui!" Dai Zong didn't dare to ask more, and hurriedly hid to the dormitory behind.

"Fan Ke, summon Da Sima in." Liu He said.

"Yui!"

It didn't take long for the door of the Xuanshu Hall to open, and Wei Xuancheng hurriedly walked into the main hall.

As usual, Wei Xuancheng bowed down from a distance and solemnly saluted Liu He.

Liu He didn't immediately let Wei Xuancheng come over, didn't even let him calm down, but didn't say a word.

just pressed Wei Xuancheng with silence, making him lie on the ground all the time.

Wei Xuancheng was the first batch of talents recruited by Liu He, and he was also promoted from the big family.

At that time, Liu He hoped that in this way, he would carry out a slow and gentle reform of the family.

He wanted to find some talents among the children of the family who could "transcend the class", so as to arrange a decent ending for the family.

But to his disappointment, most of the officials from the big families failed to do this, but hugged each other more and more closely.

Yang Chang's sons, Zhang Anshi's sons, Bingji's sons, Liu De's sons, and Wei Xian's other sons......

On the surface, they all sit upright and behave rightly, but in private, they form a party, intermarry internally, and have their own system.

For example, Liu De's son Liu Anmin also actively participated in the "First Imperial Examination" piloted by Liu He that year and stood out.

Later, he was always reused by Liu He, and finally after Liu De's death, he successfully took over the position of Zongzheng.

Liu He gave him enough trust, but Liu Anmin became more and more conservative, getting closer and closer to the family.

Maybe it's like this for everyone, when they are young, they want to betray their families, but eventually they all come back.

Today's Liu Anmin is very prestigious in the clan, and he can be regarded as a follower in handling political affairs, but he only has family interests, and there is no good or bad in the world.

I don't know how deep he will be involved in the next conspiracy.

Compared with all these people, Wei Xuancheng was the one who was most valued by Liu He.

From the very beginning of the history of the temple under the door, to the later Da Honglu, and then to the current Da Sima......

Liu He gave him enough trust.

The main reason is that Wei Xuancheng still has the people of the world in his letter, and there is no family tied to death, which makes Liu He have some expectations for him.

But now, Liu He is very unhappy with him.

Liu He was almost certain that Wei Xian, an old man in his nineties, must have been implicated in Zhang Anshi.

Wei Xuancheng is also a great horse, and he must have heard of the conspiracy of the Shangsi Festival, and was even asked to participate in it.

But so much time has passed, Wei Xuancheng has never looked for Liu He, let alone made any secret edicts.

How could this make Liu He not suspicious.

Now that there are only two days left before the Shangsi Festival, Wei Xuancheng may finally have made up his mind, and Liu He wants to see what he has to say.

"Wei Qing, flat." Liu He finally spoke.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Wei Xuancheng hurriedly stood up.

"Come and sit down in front of me."

"Yui!"

Wei Xuancheng walked quickly in front of Liu He, and after saluting again, he dared to sit down.

Through the light, Liu He saw that Wei Xuancheng was also old.

When we first met, Wei Xuancheng was only in his early thirties, and although he was silent, he was also heroic.

More than ten years have passed, and although Wei Xuancheng is still very thin, he is also showing his old state, and he no longer has that heroic spirit.

Wei Xuancheng has always been loyal and has paid a lot of effort for the Han.

Thinking of this, the anger in Liu He's heart dissipated a little.

"Wei Qing, entering the palace today, what do you have to do?" Liu He asked.

"Your Majesty...... Your Majesty, Weichen has an important matter to play. Wei Xuancheng's voice was a little trembling and flustered.

This kind of panicked situation is not often seen on the face of Wei Xuancheng, who is old and serious.

"I have already said that I want to calm down and recuperate, and the cabinet will handle the political affairs on my behalf, so I don't need to talk to me." Liu He said uncertainly.

"Your Majesty forgive your sins! But this matter is too dangerous, and Weichen can only play to His Majesty. Wei Xuancheng said.

"Dangerous?" Liu He suddenly sneered, making Wei Xuancheng feel a little scared.

"If it's really dangerous, why did you delay it for so long, don't you want to bet on both ends?"

Liu He's point-in-point and straight rhetorical question made Wei Xuancheng's face turn white with a "swish".

Where did he dare to sit on the couch, and quickly got up and bowed again, pleading to the Son of Heaven.

"Your Majesty forgive your sins! Your Majesty forgives your sins! It's Weichen confused! Wei Xuancheng said with frequent pauses.

"Get up and speak!"

"Sinners dare not ......"

"Get up and speak!" Liu He raised his voice.

"No......" Wei Xiancheng stopped and hesitantly sat back on the couch, but he didn't sit as peacefully as he did just now.

"Don't talk about it, let me guess first......" Liu He sold a pass and sneered, "This matter has something to do with Ling Zun Wei Ge Lao." ”

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty." Wei Xuancheng said sweatingly.

"Moreover, this matter is still a matter of losing your head, which is why you are so cautious, so you will ignore your loyalty and righteousness, and hide it from me for so long?"

"Your Majesty......" Wei Xuancheng wanted to defend himself, but after opening his mouth, he found that he was speechless, only ashamed.

Then, Da Sima, who had the right to test all the soldiers of the Han Army, had red circles in his eyes, and his eyes were soaked in two bubbles of old tears.

Liu He saw the contradiction in his heart, and couldn't help but sigh secretly, and his heart softened a little.

It's not easy to be your father, for whatever reason.

"The son said: The son is hidden by the father, and the father is hidden by the son, and he is in it...... I don't blame you for this, just say anything you want. Liu He's tone softened.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your innocence!" Wei Xuancheng suddenly burst into tears, and he didn't care about the etiquette of the monarch and the minister, so he wiped away his tears.

After his tears were wiped away, he said what his father had said to him ten days ago.

From start to finish, there are no reservations.

When Liu He heard the words "Shangsi Festival", he finally no longer had any doubts.

Liu Yi has obtained the time of the "Shangsi Festival" from Zhang Pengzu.

Wei Xuancheng also got the time of "Shangsi Festival" from Wei Xian's mouth.

Comparing the two, there will definitely be no mistake in the time of the incident, and it also proves that Liu Ai and Wei Xuancheng did not lie to themselves.

Liu He's worries were a little less, but his expression was not relaxed.

"How are Elder Zhang Ge and Elder Wei Ge going to deal with me?" Liu He asked indifferently.

"They want Weichen to give an order in the name of Sima Fu to let Sanfu's city patrol pavilion return to Benya for proofreading......"

"However, the guards who patrol the city will not be transferred back to the office until the second day at the latest."

"In this way, on the day of the Shangsi Festival, the three auxiliary chiefs can control the headquarters to patrol the city pavilion and the Jinwu to patrol the city at the same time......"

"And Zhijingo will have no troops to use."

It was not until this time that Liu He finally saw the second pass of Zhang's rebellion plan.

He remembered something from a few months ago, and it dawned on him.

At that time, Liu He was assassinated by Fan Zhi, Long Yan was furious, and questioned Jian Kou in public.

Zhang Anshi took the opportunity to put forward the proposal of rotating the three auxiliary city patrol guards and the ruling Jinwu city patrol guards.

Liu He couldn't see why Zhang Anshi did this at that time, and only thought that it was Zhang Anshi's cautious and cautious loyalty.

He would never have thought that Zhang Anshi had already begun to lay out for this big game of chess from that time.

At this time, Liu He combined the letters of Liu Ai and others and the letters submitted by Xiuyiwei to see the whole thing clearly.

King Guangling's rebellion is related to the family!

Fan Zhi's assassination of Liu He is related to the family!

The inexplicable witch case is related to the family!

The Huo bandits who appeared for no reason are related to the big family!

And all the big families are related to Zhang Anshi and Wei Xian.

They are like a huge net, slowly spreading out in the territory of the Han Dynasty, and the target of this net is Liu He.

Before coming to this world, Liu He thought that the family would not reach its peak until the late Han Dynasty and the Wei and Jin dynasties.

He didn't realize at all that in the middle of the Western Han Dynasty, the family clan already had such great strength and energy.

He suddenly remembered the history books he had read, which actually had similar records, but he had ignored them in a preconceived notion.

From the founding military group of the early Han Dynasty, to the relatives and heroes of the Xiaowu Emperor period, to the family of the Zhaoxuan period...... Which group is easy to mess with?

It was indeed in the late Han Dynasty, the Wei and Jin dynasties that the family family became the family gatekeeper.

But the family of the Western Han Dynasty is already a force to be reckoned with.

Moreover, very "not negligible".

It has been recorded in the history books that the power of the Gongsun clan, a big family in Beihai County, is very powerful, and it can kill people anytime and anywhere, flouting the laws of the Han Dynasty.

Dong Xuan, the county magistrate, killed Gongsun Dan's father and son, but Gongsun Dan's clan pro-party directly "manipulated the military and called the unjust" and attacked the county government.

What's more, Xia Changsi and others privately "imprisoned the Tai Guard, and camped in the city", openly separating the king's land.

The big families in this county can be so rampant and unscrupulous, not to mention the original Huo family and the current Zhang family, Bing family and Wei family......

They are full of morality and righteousness, and they talk about loyalty, which seems to be a model in the world, but in fact, they are also doing things that are pickled by the common people.

It's just that they have a bigger appetite, so they have to look better.

For more than ten years, Liu He has spared no effort to crack down on the big families and suppressed their survival and development space without stopping.

But Zhang Anshi and others still gathered such a large force to try to overturn the foundation laid by Liu He in Dahan.

Liu He didn't dare to imagine that if he allowed the big family to grow savagely like Emperor Xiaozhao and Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty, he didn't know what kind of chaos he would face today.

Of course, it is precisely because of Liu He's extreme suppression that Zhang Anshi and them will twist into a rope and jump out to plan a big move to "surpass history".

Otherwise, they will only slowly accumulate strength in the shadows, eat bite by bite into a behemoth, and eventually swallow the empire in its entirety in a few decades.

When the time comes, it will not be the family of the empire, but the empire of the family family.

In the original historical line, the family has been rampant for hundreds of years, and has hollowed out and eaten several empires in one go.

In the end, it completely declined in the peasant uprising in the last years of the Tang Dynasty.

With this conspiracy, Liu He wanted to make the decline of the family come earlier.

Thinking of this, Liu He silently read out two lines of poetry: "The inner library is burned into splendid ashes, and the heavenly street is full of public bones!" ”

Wei Xuancheng, who was still in fear, was stunned for a moment, and then the whole person was as if he had fallen into an ice cave, and his whole body was cold.

He didn't know where the first half of the sentence came from, but he knew what the second half meant.

The Son of Heaven is about to kill.

I'm afraid that I will kill Chang'an City with blood and drift, and kill this entire Han without a family.

Wei Xuancheng couldn't help but have some fears and doubts, he didn't know if his father, who was the first to leave, could leave a way for Wei to live.

"Wei Qing, do you have anything else to say to me about this rebellion?" Liu He asked.

"My father has always been wary of Wechen, and he didn't say too many details to Wechen, so he only asked Wechen to issue this order on the Shangsi Festival." Wei Xuancheng said.

"What are you coming to befirst your father today? Don't forget, your Wei family is also a big family. Liu Heleng asked.

Weichen believes that the family should not be heirloom with power, but should be heirloom with family style and knowledge...... It should be passed on by people. ”

"Maybe sometimes I will be lonely because of the loss of power, but as long as people are still inheriting, there will always be glory one day."

"Your Majesty is a once-in-a-millennium holy monarch and a Ming monarch, following Your Majesty is the best way out for the family, and competing with Your Majesty is just a dead end."

"If the clan is gone, and the family temples are all gone, how can we talk about inheritance?"

"Weichen thought that his father was confused, and he didn't see the difference between His Majesty and the ancestors of the previous dynasties, so he did bad things......"

Wei Xuancheng said a lot in one breath, and then Liu He felt a little relieved, there are really people in the family who know the general situation.

Of course, Liu He is willing to give the family family room to survive, but he also does not allow the existence of the family that competes with the world for profit and power with the Son of Heaven.

"In the future, what do you think the family should do?" Liu He asked gently.

"Wei Chen thinks that the family should become a model in the world, Your Majesty is the ...... of the Han Dynasty," Wei Xuancheng hurriedly said.

"Young man," Liu He suddenly called out Wei Xuancheng's words and said, "You not only saved the Wei family today, but also saved many families. ”

Wei Xuancheng heard the meaning of the Son of Heaven's words, and seemed to see a glimmer of light.

He hurriedly stood up, bowed in front of the Son of Heaven again, and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!" ”

"I promise you that only the clan will destroy the clans involved in this matter, and the rest of the clans will only be obedient, and I will not embarrass them."

Liu He's simple sentence has determined the life and death of countless people, the family can still live, but they can't live like before.
