Chapter 223: Fight to the death
The cold wind is rolling, the clouds are soaring, the wind is surging, and the weather is cold. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
In the city of Chang'an, there was an undercurrent, which finally got out of control, broke through the ditch, and poured into the surface.
In the southern suburbs, Yang Yue dealt with the strong attitude of rejecting the reformers, like a cold wind rolling up in the sky, which had already been transmitted to Chang'an.
Whether it is a dignitary or a dawn of the people, they are all shocked by Yang Yue's domineering spirit.
On the charge of seriously injuring the court officials and attacking the imperial army, the right arm of the four surnamed Jiading was abolished. For the crime of treason, Wei Changfeng and the four housekeepers surnamed Wei were all imprisoned.
For a while, the news came back to Chang'an, and the wealthy family was in a big voice, and I couldn't guess what Yang Yue's intentions were?
The people of Dawn cheered and looked forward to the smooth progress of the change.
As the people involved, the Liu family, the Xue family, and the Pei family learned that Wei Changfeng had been imprisoned for treason, and the three housekeepers and family members were seriously injured and were all imprisoned.
Just quickly realize how serious the problem really is.
In addition, they also received news that Yang Yue and Yu Wentai had returned to Chang'an.
At the time of the incident, the three heads of the family hurriedly went to Yuwen Mansion to visit, hoping that Yuwenshi would give advice, however, Yuwenshi closed the door and disappeared.
Liu Zuoyang, the head of the Liu family, Pei Keyong, the head of the Pei family, and Yue Mingkun, the Huangmen servant of the Xue family, had a feeling of being deceived.
Last night, including the Wei family, they went to Yuwen Mansion to discuss the strategy against Yang Yue, and made a plan at that time to advance and retreat together.
Today, Yu Wentai is in contact with Yang Yue, which makes things complicated.
They were convicted of treason, and the Yuwen family simply closed their doors completely.
For a while, Liu Zuoyang, Pei Keyong, Yue Mingkun, these old ministers who had been in the court for many years, began to suspect that the Yuwen family had received benefits from King Yan and jointly targeted the four clans in Guanzhong.
Fortunately, in Chang'an City, the rebellion of the four surnames was rumored, but Yang Yue led his troops to arrest him.
Reluctantly let Liu Zuoyang, Pei Keyong, and Xue Mingkun breathe a sigh of relief.
They met at Pei's house to discuss countermeasures.
After all, if the crime of treason is determined, the three families will inevitably be exterminated by the court, and the four surnames of Guanzhong, which have been multiplied for hundreds of years, will become the past and disappear in the long river of history in the blink of an eye.
Pei Yongke, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, sat by the stove to keep out the cold, and said with a nervous expression: "Liu Shangshu, Xue Shilang, Wei Zhongshu acted too recklessly today, hindering the patrol envoy from measuring the land, how could he besiege the right Wuwei and seriously injure Qi Fengyu, isn't this deliberately leaving a handle for King Yan?" ”
Regardless of Wei Changfeng's obstruction of Qi Fengyu's measurement of acres of land, he only seriously injured the patrol envoy and beat the right military guard, Yang Yue set four families to rebel, which was biased, but it was also a felony.
Pei Yongke was in the court, and he knew that the court was determined to change, and the entangled situation expanded, causing the emperor to be angry.
Even if they are not convicted of treason, they will be punished heavily.
"Pei Shangshu, at this time, it's not about Wei Zhongshu's crime, it's time to discuss how to get rid of the charge of rebellion." Liu Zuoyang said eagerly.
Among the four, he and Yang Yue have the most acute contradictions, and in the official silver case, if the emperor hadn't stopped it, Yang Yue would definitely find out his crimes.
Today, the Yuwen family is closed to guests, losing the protection of the Yuwen family, and the He family is watching the fire from the other side, and Liu Zuoyang is afraid that Yang Yue's old things will be brought up again.
The old sin and the new sin were punished, not only could he not keep the position of the secretary of the household department, but also killed his head.
At this moment, Liu Zuoyang felt an unprecedented crisis and felt that the incident must be quickly calmed down.
"Liu Shangshu, Pei Shangshu, and King Yan's behavior have made it clear that they are aimed at us, and this matter must be reported to the emperor.
No matter how bad it is, we should report to the prince and the emperor, we must not sit idly by and let King Yan bully. Xue Mingkun of the Xue family said loudly.
The court is carrying out changes, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that they are ready to take advantage of their four surnamed families.
Today's events, the evolution is beyond expectations, the four families are facing a crisis, and Xue Mingkun doesn't want to die in vain.
For hundreds of years, the four of them have been married to each other and have been closely connected, and now they are both prosperous and lossy.
However, the second eldest member of the Pei family, Pei Jiyuan, the right counselor, sat next to Pei Yongke, but his face was heavy and embarrassed: "Liu Shangshu, Xue Shilang, this matter is probably not as simple as imagined, King Yan dares to detain the four of us for the crime of rebellion, and there must be something to rely on." In addition, the crime of treason, and the fact that he did not come to the palace to arrest him quickly, if my guess is correct, King Yan is waiting for us to take the initiative to submit.
When the lower officials suggested, they should not show weakness to King Yan. The big thing has turned into a small thing, and the catastrophe has been overcome for the time being. ”
"Master Pei, what do you mean, showing weakness to King Yan, don't you care about the interests of our family?" Liu Zuoyang did not hesitate to refute.
Showing weakness to Yang Yue means accepting change, and the four families will lose a lot of land alone.
What's more, he has many contradictions with Yang Yue, he shows weakness, will Yang Yue let him go?
More importantly, give in to Yang Yue and accept the change, what do the Yuwen family, the He family think, and what the prince thinks.
Liu Zuoyang cares about his own interests and has an extremely strong attitude.
"That's right, you must not compromise with King Yan." Xue Mingkun said coldly, got up and said, "If we compromise with King Yan, we will become a street rat in the court." ”
At this time, Pei Jiyuan chuckled and said, "Liu Shangshu, Xue Shilang, at this time, do we still have to care about what the Yuwen family thinks, the Yuwen family is closed, don't you think it's strange?" ”
"Yuwenshi is despicable, isn't there still a prince?" Xue Mingkun said.
"In this matter, even the He family and the Li family's forces loyal to the prince are choosing to stay out of the matter and watch the fire from the other side, and the prince is afraid that most of them will not take the initiative to help." Pei Yongke, the head of the Pei family, said.
When Liu Zuoyang heard this, he shouted: "Pei Shangshu, the Tao is not the same, if you have the heart to join King Yan, this official will never stop you, however, will King Yan accept it?" ”
"We are waiting for the four families, and the interests of the family have always been the most important." Pei Yongke hurriedly said: "Liu Shangshu, survive this catastrophe, plan and move!" ”
"The interests of the family are the most important, so you shouldn't give in to King Yan." Yue Mingkun said unhappily, and after saying that, he turned around and left angrily.
Liu Zuoyang followed, got up and threatened: "Pei Shangshu, what to do, you can do it yourself." ”
Liu Zuoyang and Xue Mingkun left Pei's house. Both got into Liu Zuoyang's carriage, and Xue Mingkun said angrily: "Liu Shangshu, Wei Changkong, Wei Changfeng were arrested, Pei Yongke, Pei Jiyuan and we are separated from Germany, what should we do?" ”
After a little silence, Liu Zuoyang's attitude condensed, and said: "The Yuwen family wants to stay out of it and fiddle with our chess pieces, at most everyone will be dead." ”
"What does Liu Shangshu mean?" Xue Mingkun approached and asked in a low voice.
Liu Zuoyang's eyes cracked, moved his body, and whispered in Xue Mingkun's ear.
Hearing this, Xue Mingkun looked surprised and exclaimed, "Liu Shangshu, is this too risky?" ”
"Risk, you and I will be disposed of by King Yan soon, and we will still die. Fight to the death, and maybe have a chance to win. Liu Zuoyang gritted his teeth and said.
"Okay, fight!" Xue Mingkun has a firm attitude and supports Liu Zuoyang. (To be continued.) )
