Chapter 493 Invite the Lord of the Clan to Gather!
"..."
The destruction of the Li and Tang families once again cast a layer of gloom over Daxia.
One wave is not over, another wave is rising!
All parties are trying to find out the news one after another.
The clan first sent envoys to Xiliang, and then held an emergency meeting.
There are nine seats, two of which are empty.
The atmosphere in the lobby was dead silent and extremely depressing.
Suspicion appeared on Situ Qiangwei's old face, and she said quietly: "Li Tang's downfall can be traced back to the assassination of the Xiang family in Jiangbei."
"Everyone fell into the emperor's plan."
The remaining six people had old faces, as black as charcoal, and even clenched their fists!
shame!
What a shame!
He fell into the emperor's treacherous plan and lost his troops and generals.
An old man said solemnly: "The younger members of the Li and Tang families want to rebel now, what do you think?"
"Call a stop first. If you want to counterattack, you have to hit it with one strike. If they act rashly, it will only make things difficult for me."
"The old ones are dead, why are the young ones so impulsive?"
"..."
Wait until everyone has finished speaking.
Situ Qiangwei's eyes flashed.
He said firmly: "Everyone, we have the emperor's internal response by our side."
"The route and time of the assassination of important figures of the Xiang family have been exposed. Li Chengqing probably only rebelled after being caught."
As the name suggests, a man has a tiger in his heart and smells the roses carefully!
There was a trace of danger in his old and spicy eyes, which made Situ Lin standing aside feel his spine tingle.
The lobby fell silent.
Several powerful men glanced left and right, their eyes unkind.
"Who could it be?"
Situ Qiangwei said hoarsely: "Who it is, I won't be able to find out for a while."
"We don't have to waste time here."
"But there is one thing. We must come up with an idea as soon as possible. The emperor is crazy and has already raised the butcher's knife before we did."
An old man said angrily: "What do Xiliang say?"
"And youzhou?"
Someone was about to answer, but was stopped by Situ Qiangwei.
"Wait a moment!"
His deep eyes swept over everyone standing in the lobby, including Situ Lin and all the senior officials within the Seven Gates.
"You all get out."
"Seven of us are enough to discuss this."
As soon as the words fell, the other six giants' eyes flickered, and they nodded in agreement without any objection.
Situ Lin followed the flow of people and left the lobby, his abyss-like eyes becoming somewhat solemn.
I didn’t expect that my existence would be noticed so quickly!
What will the seven old men plot?
What are their countermeasures?
With an uneasy heart, he saw the vermilion door in the lobby tightly closed.
…
After waiting for two days, Qin Yun finally failed to wait for news of rebellion.
The old disciples of the Li and Tang families seemed to have been strangled to death by an invisible hand, keeping them calm and not committing suicide.
Qin Yun understood that this was the calm before the storm.
At noon.
He sat in the imperial study room and listened to the reports from the people below.
Suddenly, a "letter of apology" jointly submitted by the seven great clans broke the calm.
The apology letter was read by Qin Yun and circulated to the cabinet ministers.
"Your Majesty, this is a cruel trick!"
"Since ancient times, there has been no precedent for the family members to give up their interests. They voluntarily resigned from office and gave away their wealth, even at the expense of admitting their guilt."
"Actually, we are taking retreat as a way to advance!"
Gu Chuntang said with a serious expression.
Qi Yong and others also stood up one after another: "Yes, the behavior of the family members is too abnormal."
"According to their usual tactics, they should put pressure on military affairs, food and money issues, rather than retreat."
"..."
Qin Yun sat on the dragon chair and was silent for a long time.
Finally, he spoke slowly: "I also know that this is a bitter trick, to retreat in order to advance, so hungry wolves like them will not be afraid of the catastrophe of the Li and Tang families."
"But, what are they for?"
Hearing this, all the ministers fell into deep thought one after another.
Yes, for what?
Qin Yun suddenly looked at Zhao Heng: "Have you compiled the information you asked the Ministry of War to sort out?"
Zhao Heng immediately held up his hands and said: "Your Majesty, we have sorted it out. There are many troops in various parts of Daxia who may have been attracted by the clans."
"But for the hardcore troops, their seven state capitals combined only have seven or eight armies, at most two to three hundred thousand troops."
"The Ministry of War has issued an order to split up the contacts and deployment of these people."
Qin Yun frowned: "Well, you did a good job."
"In addition, we must recruit troops quickly. The Shenji Battalion's armies have experienced several battles and have reduced their numbers a lot."
"As long as I have absolute force, they will never be able to overthrow us."
Zhao Heng nodded: "Yes!"
After finishing speaking, Qin Yun said quietly.
"This move by the powerful family to plead guilty will gain a lot of public support. Even the pedantic officials in the court will not allow me to take any further actions for the sake of the overall situation."
"Since they have kept their posture so low, I can't reach out and hit the smiling man."
Hearing this, the cabinet ministers all looked suspicious.
He said: "Your Majesty, what do you mean?"
A sneer appeared at the corner of Qin Yun's mouth: "The situation in Daxia is so turbulent, and the seven powerful clans own half of the resources. Is it always okay for me to talk to them and make common plans?"
Hearing this, everyone looked strange.
Conspiracy?
Why do you think His Majesty is going to go on a killing spree?
Gu Chuntang smiled bitterly and cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, I really can't kill you now...if all the leaders of the seven gates are killed."
"Wei Chen feels that the war and turmoil will spread throughout Great Xia the next day."
"Yes, Your Majesty, the incident involving the Li and Tang families has caused a lot of trouble. I feel that gradual progress is the best strategy."
Qin Yun raised his eyebrows: "Who said I was going to kill them?"
"Li Tang was legitimately eliminated because he put the blame in my hands. As for the remaining seven families, I haven't had that chance yet."
"We let them come because we wanted to test him."
Gu Chuntang said: "But will they come?"
Qin Yun narrowed his eyes: "A bunch of old guys want to pretend to be pitiful in order to win the hearts of the people. How can I let them go along with it?"
"They will definitely come."
"They also want to test my depth, and they know that I will not kill them."
Upon hearing this, all the ministers nodded.
With so much friction occurring and leading to turmoil, it is time for the leaders of the imperial power and clans to meet and have a meeting.
Even if it is delayed, it will still be beneficial, after all, the recruitment is still going on.
The ministers of various ministries are also trying to reduce the voice of the clans as much as possible.
Qin Yun waved his hand: "It's decided, Gu Chuntang, you will draft the decree!"
"Just saying that spring has been here for a long time, Lushan is hunting, and I sincerely invite the helmsmen of the Seven Gates to come and get together."
"In addition, if it is leaked, it will be said that I intend to negotiate."
"Yes!" Gu Chuntang nodded heavily.
Qin Yun stood up and rubbed his temples.
"I've been very nervous and tired these past few days."
"My dear friends, please step aside. The aftermath of the Li and Tang families will continue."
"yes!"
"I'll take my leave." Everyone bowed down and left slowly.
After Qin Yun finished handling the matter, he let out a breath of turbidity.
This emperor is getting more and more tired as he becomes more powerful!
There are always those bitches who don't want to be left alone.
At this time, Feng Lao flashed in.
"Letter from Situ Lin!"
Hearing this, Qin Yun suddenly stood up, his eyes shining!
Situ Lin's first secret message helped him get rid of the Li and Tang families, and he had great righteousness and reason, and the family members could only eat coptis.
