lord of destiny

Chapter 470 The hidden danger of the family

Chang'an City.

In a restaurant.

"The general trend of the world, split and unite, finally it's time to unify again!"

"That's right! Although it has been less than a year since the end of the Sui Dynasty, the world has been in chaos for more than ten years since Wang Bu raised the flag of rebellion."

"A few days ago, the Song family army led by Song Que had wiped out Ren Shaoming's Iron Cavalry Club. It seems that the only major force left in the world is Changbai Mountain King Book, right?"

"The beginning is the king's book, and the end is the king's book. Maybe this is the destiny?"

Many people talked and talked about current affairs in the world.

But there was one thing they still dared not say.

three days ago.

All the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River, who supported the opposition forces, have all been wiped out!

The power of the wealthy family has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

The strength of the Dawn Legion is also self-evident.

The collision between these two major forces is really not something that small people like them can talk about.

They thought it would cause a huge commotion.

Seriously, it may even lead to another chaos in the world.

But three days passed.

The world's rich and aristocratic families unexpectedly did not move at all.

Are they planning something bigger?

They never thought that the wealthy family would compromise. Even the Sui Dynasty in its heyday was dragged down by them. How could they compromise?
"Look! General Ouyang is back!"

on the long street.

Ouyang Xiyi took the lead, riding towards the palace with ten cavalry generals.

They were imposing, with a bloody murderous aura all over their bodies.

"What a strong murderous aura!"

"Yeah, I don't know how many people they killed this time?"

"The Dawn Legion is acting so violently, I'm afraid it will cause a lot of trouble!"

Many people were worried, worried that the world, which had finally been unified, would soon fall into chaos and war.

Under everyone's gaze, Ouyang Xiyi and others quickly disappeared at the end of the long street.

······
Ouchi Imperial Palace.

In a side hall.

Fang Mu was sitting on a finely carved mahogany bench, drinking tea leisurely.

It didn't take long.

Ouyang Xiyi walked in.

Kneel directly on one knee.

"My lord, the last general is back!"

"Get up."

Fang Mu said.

"sit."

"Thank you, my lord."

Ouyang Xiyi sat on a round chair.

"How are things going?"

Fang Mu asked.

"The traitors have already been dealt with, and those aristocratic families who secretly supported the traitors have all followed your instructions and wiped out their families! But..."

"If you have anything to say, just say it without hesitation."

"Yes! I found out that some aristocratic families were involved in it, but they were very cautious, and when they saw something bad, they immediately withdrew. The subordinates only found a few clues, but no evidence."

Ouyang Xiyi showed shame.

Fang Mu took a sip of tea slowly and said lightly.

"What aristocratic families are there?"

"A lot! There are seven in total, including the Shen family with a high reputation in the south of the Yangtze River!"

"The Shen family?"

Fang Mu tapped the tea seat with his fingers.

Although this Shen family is not as powerful as the Song family, it is still a first-class family in the world!
Especially in the Jiangnan area, it is almost equivalent to the leader.

"Went out!"

The tone was light, but with incomparable determination.

"Ok?"

Ouyang Xiyi was astonished.

"My lord, the status of the Shen family is extraordinary. If we destroy them without evidence, I'm afraid it will cause panic among all the families in the world!"

Once the aristocratic family panics, as long as someone with a heart runs away, the world will immediately be in chaos.

Fang Mu looked indifferent.

"What do you think of the power of the family?"

"Very strong! Together, I'm afraid it's enough to compete with our Dawn Legion!"

Ouyang Xiyi's face was solemn.

"Yes, their power is very strong! Once united, they will not be weaker than our Dawn Legion, and even our Dawn Legion has a lot of family power."

Fang Mu said with a sigh.

His Dawn Legion was established with the Wagang Army as its core.

It stands to reason that a civilian rebel army like the Wagang Army should not have too many family influences.

But it is not so.

As early as Zhai Rang's period, many aristocratic families valued the Wagang Army and sent their children to the Wagang Army.

Although the children of these families are only side branches, they are still much stronger than the ordinary children of poor families.

As soon as he came in, it didn't take long to achieve the position of the middle-level backbone, occupying a considerable position in Wagang Village.

And when Li Mi joined, especially after defeating Rongyang, more children from aristocratic families joined.

Li Mi originally belonged to one of the descendants of the aristocratic family.

Although the aristocratic family he belonged to has declined, he is still extremely favored by the aristocratic family.

This is the opinion of the aristocratic family, deeply rooted.

Li Mi was able to quickly sit on an equal footing with Zhai Rangping in Wagangzhai. Apart from the brilliant record in the Rongyang battle, his own family status is also a very important reason.

His aristocratic status allowed him to easily gain the support of many middle-level backbones in Wagang Village, and these people were all descendants of the aristocratic family.

Even Wagang Village is like this, other forces can be imagined.

It is not a false statement, but a fact, to say that the influence of aristocratic and wealthy families has penetrated into every aspect of the world.

"In that case, why do you still want to..."

Ouyang Xiyi was puzzled.

The family's panic will not only cause turmoil in the world, but even their Dawn Legion will likely suffer great setbacks as a result!
"Just because they are too strong!"

Fang Mu looked into the distance with a faint gaze.

"Look at this."

He handed something to Ouyang Xiyi.

This is an edict that has not yet been issued.

Ouyang Xiyi took it.

"About the Revocation of Menkes and Private Soldiers"!
Ouyang Xiyi only read this sentence, and his whole body trembled immediately.

"My lord! This!"

He was terrified.

Why is the family powerful?

Even Yang Guang, who was so strong at his peak, didn't dare to touch them easily without a good reason?
Just because they all support a large number of followers and private soldiers!

Any family can easily raise an army of thousands, or even tens of thousands!

Top aristocratic families like Li Clan and Song Clan can raise hundreds of thousands of troops in a short period of time!
What is the total military strength of a country?

Even if I fight to my death, it won’t exceed 300 million!
They are also scattered all over the country. How dare you let Yang Guang directly touch the family?

Even if he wanted to use the imperial examination to weaken the family's strength from the side, it touched the family's bottom line and they joined forces to cripple him.

"My lord, this is for the life of the family!"

Ouyang Xiyi seemed to be able to see what kind of uproar this edict would cause once it was issued!
The retainers and private soldiers are the foundation to ensure the strength of a family.

Without these, how can they guarantee their transcendent status?
His voice trembled.

"My lord, would you... think about it again?"
