Datang: Get a god-level selection system at the beginning

Chang'an, Xiande Hall.

At this time, hundreds of civil and military officials gathered, and almost all officials from powerful families were firing fiercely at Li Wenbin.

"Your Majesty Chen Qi, Qin Wang Li Wenbin broke through Boling County without authorization, causing tens of thousands of civilian casualties. Please make a decision."
"Your Majesty, Li Wenbin, King of Qin, killed the good and took credit for his crimes. Countless people of the Tang Dynasty have become his innocent souls. Your Majesty please punish him severely."
"Your Majesty, this is the crime of Qin Wang Li Wenbin. He killed the officials without authorization, obviously intending to rebel. Your Majesty, please take him back to Chang'an for conviction."
A seal memorial was placed in front of Li Shimin. The Emperor of Tang Dynasty looked at the officials below with no expression on his face, and did not say a word for a long time.

Among the aristocratic families, the members of the Cui family are the most fierce, and the other families are also very clear-if you don't punish Li Wenbin severely today, tomorrow there will be chaos in the world.

Although the power of the aristocratic family is much smaller now, and the number of official positions above the court has been reduced, there are still many officials from the aristocratic family in the local area.

If these people oppose together, even Li Shimin will feel a headache.

"Report, the general manager of the Hebei Road March, Qin Wang Li Wenbin sent a memorial, please read it, Your Majesty."
The servant put a memorial in front of Li Shimin, and there were a few lines written on it:
"The sores occurred in Boling County, and all the males in the Cui family were infected since they were eight years old. In order to prevent the sores from spreading, the minister Li Wenbin had to isolate the sick people and let them fend for themselves."
"In addition, countless crossbows, armor, forged jade seals, and dragon robes were found in the secret room of the Cui family's old house! Your Majesty, please decide."
Along with the memorial, there was also evidence "searched" from the secret room of the Cui family's old house, and Li Shimin was furious after just looking at it.

"Look, gentlemen, this is what was found from the Cui family. Can anyone tell me what the Cui family is doing here?"
Throwing crossbows and armors all over the ground, Li Shimin was furious: "Look at the jade seal and dragon robe, they have been made for a long time. Could it be that the Cui family has long wanted to change the dynasty?"
"Come here, take all the officials from the Cui family to the government, put them in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and hand them over to Yousi for interrogation!"
The warriors in the hall rushed up, stripped all the Cui officials on the list to only their small clothes, and dragged them out.

At this time, Wang Zhong, a member of the Taiyuan Wang family, who served as a member of the official department in the court, Wang Zhong, stood up: "Your Majesty, this is just a one-sided statement of the King of Qin, and the hidden truth in it needs to be found out. Your Majesty must not trust the words of the family. !"
What can be done now is to muddy the water, at least not to implicate the other families.

From ancient times to the present, treason has been the first crime among the heinous crimes, family raids and family extermination are minor, and the nine tribes of Yi are routine operations.

Taiyuan Wang, Xingyang Zheng and Fanyang Lu didn't want to involve themselves.

Although the Five Watchers and Seven Surnames are united in the same spirit, advance and retreat together, but if they are faced with such a serious crime of ransacking their families and exterminating their clans, they can only hide as far away as possible, and they dare not get involved at all.

Changsun Wuji sternly shouted: "Could it be that this jade seal and dragon robe are forged? Judging by the appearance of this jade seal, it has clearly been carved for several years. Could it be that His Highness King Qin started to forge evidence a few years in advance to frame his Cui family?" "
"Also, the style of armor is clearly used by the Cui family, so why are you still trying to argue?"
Changsun Wuji's words made Wang Zhong speechless, he gritted his teeth, bowed and said, "It's the minister's misconsideration, please forgive me, Your Majesty."
Forget it, a dead fellow Taoist is not a poor daoist, the Boling Cui family is completely finished, now I can only extract as many of my own family as possible from it, so as not to be affected.

The Wang family retreated, and the other two did not dare to speak. Li Shimin sneered: "The Cui family of Boling intends to rebel, and the evidence is solid. The Cui family will be deprived of prestige, and children under the age of eight will be sent to Yazhou, and they will not be allowed to return to the Central Plains for life."
All the remaining children of the Cui family were dispatched to the Leizhou Peninsula all at once, and they were not allowed to return for life.

What Wang Zhong saw was that he was about to burst into tears, and he knew that if this continues, the next ones will be the unlucky ones.

But at this time, the imperial power had reached its apex, and the clan had no military power in its hands. Even the promotion channel was deprived of most of it by the emperor, and the clan's influence had almost dropped to a minimum.

Although the dismissal of all the powerful officials now will cause some chaos in Datang, it can no longer hurt the muscles and bones.

Perhaps, the gatekeepers should consider the future retreat.

If they continue to be stubborn, the Qinghe Cui family and the Boling Cui family, which have been passed down for hundreds of years, will be their role models.

After announcing their withdrawal from the court, the officials of the powerful family left with their own concerns, while Changsun Wuji and others stayed to continue discussing with Li Shimin.

"Your Majesty, will His Royal Highness King Qin be a little too adventurous this time?"
Fang Xuanling was still very cautious, and put forward his own opinion: "If you really can't kill Boling Cui with one blow, I'm afraid there will be endless troubles."
"Hehe, don't worry so much, how could His Royal Highness the King of Qin leak a flaw in this matter?"
Changsun Wuji said with a smile: "No matter what, those jade seals and dragon robes are real. As long as these things are real, the Cui family can't explain it clearly even if they are all mouths."
"What's more, the Cui family's male Ding has been beheaded to death at this time, and there is no proof of death."
"Hey, although His Royal Highness King Qin's move seems dangerous, but when you think about it carefully, you did it with full confidence. Let's not worry about it."
Du Ruhui also persuaded Fang Xuanling, saying: "You and I are both on the outside, the bystanders are confused, and the authorities are clear."
Fang Xuanling sighed and stopped talking.

Li Shimin spoke at this time: "I have discussed with the King of Qin several times on how to deal with the powerful family. What the King of Qin means is that short-term pain is worse than long-term pain. The longer it drags on, the more difficult it will be."
"Your Majesty, I just feel that doing so will have an impact on you and His Royal Highness King Qin's reputation. Although those aristocratic families have been suppressed for a long time, they have been passed down for hundreds of years and have a profound heritage."
"If they slander His Majesty and His Highness King Qin, it will have an irreparable impact."
Fang Xuanling's concerns were indeed justified. After all, at this time, the clan still controlled most of the scholars. If these scholars waved their flags and shouted for them, and their pens were crooked, they would describe Li Shimin and Li Wenbin as the biggest fools since the creation of Pangu. And Cheng Chen.

"Haha, King Qin had expected this a long time ago, so he recommended a method to me. Please take a look, gentlemen."
