Chapter 1497 Chang'an is soft, Xianyang takes action
The Yang family of Yingchuan has encountered countless crises during its thousands of years of inheritance, and has been able to avert danger every time. But no crisis can be compared to this one.
In the history of the past thousand years, emperors would occasionally show their teeth to the Yang family, and the Yang family would respond with neither humility nor arrogance. They would either join forces with allies to fight against the emperor, or they would bow their heads and lie dormant for a while when faced with difficulties.
The Yang family was an ironclad and a flowing emperor. After that period, the Yang family became the number one family in the Central Plains.
Those emperors only suppressed, for example, suppressing officials of the Yang family. This was the most common method.
But these are really nothing to Yang.
The reason why the Yang family has been able to survive for thousands of years is due to its huge network of relationships, and the third reason is its profound family knowledge. In those days when scholars were expensive, it was difficult to spread knowledge. The inheritance of family knowledge was orderly, and there were many books in the collection.
The Yang family, envied by emperors, is like a university school in another world, and the learning conditions outside the rich family are like an elementary school or a junior high school in another world. College students crush primary school students and enjoy themselves easily. Therefore, the children of the Yang family
As long as you find an opportunity to stand out, you will quickly stand out.
Emperor Wu wanted to weaken the powerful families, so he organized a large-scale imperial examination. But when the list of qualified candidates was sent up, she looked at those names and could only sigh: There are so many talents from the powerful families!
Therefore, no matter how those in power in the past suppressed the Yang family and those powerful families, as long as the situation eased, they would soon rise again.
But when the current emperor took action, he went straight to the foundation of the Yang family.
Yang's two foundations, one is the land and population, which is the material foundation. Without this foundation, Yang would have lost an arm.
Bow down, or resist?
Yang Xinxiang knows the consequences of this foundation being broken. In the long historical process, the Yang family's ability to be passed down for thousands of years depends not only on the family's profound knowledge, but also on the population and land. Without population, the Yang family can be blown by even a gust of wind.
That's the truth behind the saying that there is strength in numbers.
But if you resist...
Wang Laoer was laughing ferociously, and Yang Xinxiang thought of the rumors. According to the rumors, Wang Laoer was murderous and liked to collect human heads.
That scoundrel sent Wang Laoer here, and it’s self-evident what he was thinking.
The staff behind him whispered: "Wang Laoer is an honest man. If you can kill someone, you will never hurt others..."
Yang Xinxiang squinted his eyes, "Ms. Yang... you abide by the law! Someone is here!"
"Mr. Lang!"
"Bring out the list of servants at home."
Yang lowered his head, and the people watching outside sighed in disappointment.
"This is an alliance under the city." The two scholars shook their heads and sighed.
"At the beginning, many people said that the emperor did not dare to touch the great clans in Guanzhong. Now it seems that they are all stupid. The emperor moved outside Guanzhong first because he wanted to stabilize the overall situation of the world. He then moved to Guanzhong last.
"What will happen if the big clan in the Spring Pass takes action? "I thought it would be okay before, but not now. "Why?"
"The emperor in the late Chen Dynasty was more capable than the women in the palace. He was weak-tempered and ignorant of worldly affairs. He also knew nothing about the way of conquest. But what does the one in the palace do now?"
"Before he became emperor, he led his army to sweep through the world." "The man in Shu was afraid of the rebellion of the Guanzhong clan, so he stationed more than 100,000 troops in Chang'an. But the man in the palace dared to sit in Guanzhong with only tens of thousands of troops...
··
"Now it seems that when he used tens of thousands of troops to guard Guanzhong, was it possible that he wanted to lure the wealthy Guanzhong clan into rebellion?"
"This...can't be true!"
"To be honest, I want to destroy the great family."
The emperor and the empress were walking in the palace, and behind them was Li Laoer with a sad face... This child had previously broken the empress's beloved vase and was detained by the emperor.
The queen was silent.
"Of course the Zhou family is not like that," the emperor said with a smile. "Is there only two days in the sky?" Zhou Ning asked.
"right."
The two were silent for a while, and then the emperor said: "The aristocratic families have been rampant in the Central Plains for thousands of years, like a huge insect parasitizing the people of the world. Crazy
Blood-sucking. An Ning, if I don't do anything, this giant insect will suck the Tang Dynasty into an empty shell." "I also know a little bit about Zhou's family background. There are countless fields, and so is the population. Speaking of which...
"..." Zhou Ning glanced at him, "It's like a country within a country."
"Yes! A country within a country." The emperor smiled and said: "It would be fine if I just wanted to maintain the status quo, but since I have become an emperor, I naturally have to lead the Tang Dynasty on a different path. But the aristocratic families are standing in front of me.
In front of us, I must either retreat, or I can only lead my army to rush forward..."
"Which way does Your Majesty want to take Datang?"
"Many people say that I destroyed Shi Ni, drove away the false emperor, destroyed the Southern Zhou Dynasty, and eliminated the Northern Liao Dynasty, so the world is at peace. In a time of peace and prosperity, it is natural for horses to be released in Nanshan and swords and guns to be stored in storage. But these people don't know
This world is so big."
The emperor's eyes flashed with the queen's familiar brilliance. Whenever he does this, his opponent will be unlucky. The last time was the Southern Zhou Dynasty, and the last time was the Northern Liao Dynasty...
"There are still many sacred lands overseas. Those forces are entrenched in them. I should lead my army to drive them away and let my people of the Tang Dynasty thrive there. Luoluo is a big country and very ambitious... I just need to wait for me to solve it.
After the troubles in the country, we have to go west..." "Your Majesty, aren't you tired of doing this?"
"How should a man live in this world? Farmers cultivate and harvest, wives and children feel happy on the hot bed; businessmen make money, and craftsmen make utensils... All the people are at peace with their lives. And I am the emperor and my mission
What is it?"
The emperor looked at the queen with piercing eyes, "For this country, for these people, create eternal peace!"
When Chun Yudian rushed home, there was already a tense situation outside the house... His son and the general leading the team were goring the ox. "Stop!"
Chun Yudian's appearance saved his son, and after some negotiation, the general leading the team just said, "We will act according to the law! That's right!"
Law!
When the Law of the Tang Dynasty was first promulgated, it was said that the prince and the common people were equally guilty.
Now the emperor just slapped the Tang law on the faces of the wealthy families and asked them in a roar: "Which of the things I did was against the law?"
If it doesn’t suit you, point it out!
Chun Yudian's cheek twitched, "Where is Mr. Zhou?"
"Yeah, don't care about the Zhou family!" The general's eyes flashed with a dangerous light.
A servant came quickly and said, "Lang Jun, Mr. Yang has surrendered."
Yang Xinxiang is a coward. Chun Yudian bowed his head decisively and said, "Bring me the roster."
After the generals left with the roster, Chun Yudian looked at the family members who were mourning for their heirs and said with a ferocious smile: "I'm afraid many people will starve to death in Guanzhong this year.
It was Yang Lue who went to the Zhou family.
He just appeared outside the gate of Zhou's house with a dozen sergeants in plain clothes.
"Mr. Yang!"
The people of the Zhou family naturally knew the importance of this person, and immediately invited the temporary head of the family, Zhou Xin.
"I have met Mr. Yang."
"You're welcome." Yang Lue handed over his hand, "I think your husband should know the purpose of my visit.
"This..." Zhou Xin smiled bitterly, "It would be easier if Aweng Aye was here..."
He can't make the decision on such a big thing!
Yang Lue said: "I only brought a dozen soldiers, but there were hundreds of warriors outside the Yang family and Chunyu family. Lang Jun should know the meaning of this."
The emperor is saving face for the Zhou family!
Face is given by others, don't lose it yourself.
Zhou Xin was in a dilemma, complaining about the ruthlessness of his brother-in-law... After all, this is a descendant's family, the prince's maternal ancestor's family, how can you do it?
"The lady in charge is here."
Just when the atmosphere was awkward, Aunt Guan came back.
She glanced at Yang Lue with complicated eyes, and said to Zhou Xin: "The queen has said that this matter, Zhou should set an example!" The queen did not explain to Zhou Xin... It was not necessary.
Mr. Zhou lowered his head.
The timing of the emperor's actions is very interesting... First he went to the Yang family, then the Chunyu family, the Zhou family, and the Wang family... The Yang family bowed their heads, and the Chunyu family naturally did not dare to explode.
If the two families bowed their heads, the Zhou family would naturally not object. But when the Wang family saw that the situation was over, let's bow our heads too!
This timing made Pei Jian think of the art of war.
"Although Your Majesty no longer leads the army to fight, he has integrated the art of war into political affairs."
Pei Jian paid homage to his father in the old house.
Amidst the smoke and smoke, Pei Jian looked at Pei Jiu's divine master and said, "Now that the world has been decided, your majesty is still ambitious. Aye, I will make the Pei family famous in foreign lands."
"Mr. Lang!"
An attendant came in and said, "Your Majesty is summoning you urgently." "Do you know what's going on?"
"It is said that a wealthy family in Xianyang is planning a rebellion." "Let's go!"
Worried that his father had made a mistake, Ma Xi, a freshman at the Imperial College, hurried back to his home in Xianyang.
"You still know how to come back?"
Ma Hongzhong had a cold face and actually had a knife on his waist.
"Aye, what are you going to do?" Maxi was stunned. "Alang!" A steward came to report, "Those families were discussing secretly, and just now someone came to invite Alang..."
"Let them wait!" Ma Hongzhong prepared to go.
"Aye, you can't go!" Maxi advised, "These people must be planning to rebel. You can't go!"
He tried hard to persuade him, but was slapped twice by Ma Hongzhong. "Chang'an is going to cut off our roots, how can I bear it?" Ma Hongzhong walked away.
Ma Xi covered his face and the manager persuaded him, "Dalangjun, this population is our root!"
Ma Xi said calmly: "I know I was wrong."
"It's good to know your mistakes. It's good to know your mistakes." The steward had watched him grow up and said happily: "When A Lang comes back, Da Lang finally admits his mistake. Will father and son still have an overnight feud?"
good!"
After the steward left, Ma Xi went to the study room. "I want to study, so don't disturb me."
Ma Xi said he wanted to study, but he was looking for something. "Here it is!"
Ma Xi held a seal and said happily. Then he forged documents...
Later, he said he would go out for a walk.
But he was transferred to the county jail. "Mr. Ma is willing to hand over his slaves!"
"Don't worry, everyone, Ma can send five thousand troops! At least five thousand!"
Five wealthy families in Xianyang gathered together and decided to rebel.
Ma Hongzhong clapped his chest and swore that the Ma family could send five thousand troops, and then they drank and swore an oath.
He returned home drunk and asked, "Where is Da Lang?"
"Da Langjun is in the study."
Ma Hongzhong went to the study, and Ma Xi knelt down to apologize. "My son, it's okay if you realize your mistake and get up."
Ma Hongzhong went to help his son.
Ma Xi lowered his head, "My child took Aye's seal and forged documents..."
"What? What paperwork?"
"Mr. Ma is willing to let those slaves repatriate." "The treacherous son!"
Ma Hongzhong was furious, "Take the whip and go! Today I will definitely beat this traitor to death!"
The steward was panic-stricken, and just as he was about to give some advice, he saw a servant running towards him like flying.
"What's the matter?" the steward scolded, "I don't have the eyesight to see that Alang is getting angry? Why are you running?"
The steward was an old servant and had great authority in the Ma family. When the servants saw him, they were like a mouse seeing a cat, but the servant rushed in regardless.
"Alang, it's not good, it's not good!"
"What's wrong?" Ma Hongzhong turned around and asked, his eyes all red.
"The officers and soldiers surrounded those houses and rushed in." The drunkenness instantly turned into cold sweat, and Ma Hongzhong trembled all over, "Isn't this... this... army always in the camp?" "It's from another place.
The troops that came have been hiding nearby. They said that there are Jin Yiwei who have been watching the words and deeds of the Xianyang clan and are waiting for this moment to take action."
"This is catching a turtle in a jar!" Ma Hongzhong said in panic: "What should we do? What should we do?"
At this time, the disciple came and said happily: "Alang, Mingfu
He came and said that Ma was a model in Xianyang and wanted to take credit for Ma!
