Everyone lowered their heads unconsciously, and no one dared to look at Yu Wenhuaji.

After a long time, Yu Wenhuaji slowly opened his mouth and said: "Since the change of Xuanwumen, the emperor has no way, trusted his ministers, poisoned the family, forced the old ministers to death, and oppressed the bereaved family. Now people are swords and I am fish. Do you sit and wait for death or stand up?" Come out to defend the country?"

The representatives of all the families and clans shouted in unison: "On the side of the Qing emperor, punish the treacherous ministers!"

Yu Wenhuaji raised a dagger angrily, and roared fiercely: "Who is the faint king?"

All the representatives shouted in unison: "Li Jiancheng!"

Yu Wenhuaji asked again: "Who is the traitor?"

All the representatives shouted in unison: "Chen Ying!"

As the saying goes, cutting off people's wealth is like killing their parents.Originally, the aristocratic family in Guanzhong took advantage of the severe drought in Guanzhong to drive up the price of grain in Guanzhong, originally wanting to make a fortune.Unexpectedly, Chen Ying used his own way to repay him.Chen Ying also set up a bureau, this bureau was set up more cleverly than theirs, and all the aristocratic families in Guanzhong were included in it at once.

They bought nearly 200 million shi of grain from Chen Ying at a high price. As a result, Chen Ying suppressed the price of grain to ten yuan per bucket, and a net loss of seventy to eighty yuan per shi of grain. Their original stock of more than 500 million shi of grain lost as much as 400 million guan , almost [-]% of Datang's annual tax revenue.

The collective property of the entire Guanzhong family has shrunk by one-third, and the fields, houses, and shops passed down from their ancestors were all auctioned off by Chen Ying in Chang'an City.In just half a year, Chen Ying poached at least seventy-eight million pieces of flesh from aristocratic families in Guanzhong.

At this time, if you want to ask who the family members of the Guanzhong family hate the most, in fact, Fang Xuanling and Wei Zheng, who have dismissed officials, are not yet on the list, and the number one target is Chen Ying.

The representatives of the aristocratic clans shouted again: "There is also Wei Zheng! Fang Xuanling..."

Yu Wenhuaji thrust his dagger into the desk and looked at the crowd and shouted: "Today, our families and clans have made an alliance with blood, we will advance and retreat together, live and die together!"

All the representatives shouted in unison: "Advance and retreat together! Live and die together!"

……

In the mansion of the king of Yi'an County in Chang'an, dozens of people including the princes, princes, and lords of the Li clan gathered together.

Huai'an King Li Shentong looked at the clans and said with grief: "Now I can see that there is nothing to say, Dalang is just another Yang Guang, the country conquered by the Supreme Emperor is about to be defeated by him. "

Li Xiaochang said angrily: "He is not even as good as Yang Guang. After Yang Guang became emperor, he would not persecute the clan, mutilate his siblings, let alone cut off his own wings."

Li Shentong looked around at the Li family members who were sitting around, and said slowly: "Everyone present here is a prominent figure in our Li family family. Now the titles of each family have changed from county kings to county princes. Maybe after a while , will continue to surrender, and the next step will be ransacking and beheading..."

Li Zhan, the King of Shu, said angrily: "This old man has already buried half of his body in the ground, and he is not afraid of His Majesty, who will put a knife on the old man's neck. To put it plainly, I will force the emperor to abdicate and welcome the Supreme Emperor to return."

Shu Wang Li Zhan is Li Yuan's second elder brother.

The relatives of the Li family clan immediately echoed emotionally.

Li Shentong got up and gestured for everyone to be quiet. After a long time, Li Shentong continued: "Everyone, be safe and don't be impatient."

Li Xiaochang was puzzled and said: "Prince Huai'an, what are we waiting for?"

Li Shen said: "Now everything is ready, the only thing we owe is Dongfeng, as long as there is one more person from our Li family willing to join, the big thing will be done!"

Li Zhan asked, "Who else is missing?"

Li Shen said: "Hejian County King, Li Xiaogong!"

……

In the morning light, a dense crowd appeared at the gate of the Nanya official department hall. These people were wearing their own official uniforms. In the front row were thousands of small officials of the eighth and ninth grades wearing blue official uniforms and sapphire stones on their heads. The second is the sixth- and seventh-rank officials in green official uniforms and silver ornaments on their heads.

Standing at the back were hundreds of officials of the fourth and fifth ranks wearing scarlet official uniforms and carrying whitebait bags.Even at the end, there are dozens of third-rank officials wearing noble and purple official uniforms and hanging goldfish bags.

All the officials raised their arms and shouted: "Why should we be eliminated?

"If the Tang Dynasty wants to stabilize the world, doesn't it need talented people?"

"Flying birds are gone, good bows are hidden, cunning rabbits are dead, and running dogs are cooking!"

"Is this a human thing?"

"Are you really not afraid of being struck by lightning?"

"Wei Zheng and Fang Xuanling are treacherous ministers and rebellious parties who have harmed the country and the people."

Fang Xuanling was ruthless enough. There were more than 800 officials in Chang'an, and he abolished a full 3000 of them in one go.

More than 3000 civil servants gathered outside the Ministry of Officials, questioning and cursing in unison.

The huge sound wave startled a large flock of crows and birds.

A secretary Lingshi came in with a sad face and reported: "Wei... Xiang... Xiangguo can't get out. Those civil servants who made trouble blocked the front and rear gates."

Wei Zheng put down the documents, got up and stood at the window looking out.

With a pale face, Gao Shilian tugged at Wei Zheng's sleeve and said, "Xuancheng, it's not like there will be any deaths, right? Why haven't you seen the Imperial Army come to protect us?"

Wei Zheng patted Gao Shilian on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, this is such a big scene, what should we do, Xuan Ling and I, go out and meet them for a while."

Fang Xuanling smiled slightly and said, "That's exactly what I mean!"

Thousands of civil servants blocked the door of Shang Shuxing passionately.

Everyone was cursing, beating their chests and stamping their feet, or crying.

The door opened slowly, and Wei Zheng and Fang Xuanling appeared in front of everyone hand in hand.

More than a dozen Lingshi brought out two desk tables and a large number of documents from the hall.

Wei Zheng and Fang Xuanling remained calm amidst the loud and cursing of the crowd.

Let the historians arrange a few cases.

Wei Zheng and Fang Xuanling sat down straight.

Wei Zheng shouted loudly: "Anyone who thinks the court's treatment is unfair and wants to argue, come here one by one. Xuanling and I will stay with you to the end."

The officials who were clamoring suddenly lifted their spirits.

An official dressed in scarlet stepped forward and stood in front of Wei Zheng.

"The imperial court treated me unfairly."

Wei Zheng gave way without changing his face: "What is your surname? Where do you work? What grievances?"

The scarlet official said: "Qiao Yong, Shang Shuxing, a member of the Ministry of Civil Affairs and the Ministry of Finance, Wailang."

Wei Zheng quickly searched for Qiao Yong's files among the stacked documents.

Fang Xuanling's face darkened, and he shouted in a cold voice, "What's wrong with you?"

Qiao Yong snorted coldly and said: "Fang's participation in politics is a matter of knowing. Qiao has served in the Ministry of Civil Affairs since the incident in Taiyuan. , worked for the imperial court for ten years. According to my seniority, I, Qiao, could have been promoted to be a doctor in the Ministry of Finance long ago, but I dare not take the credit and be proud, and still fulfill my duties. Instead of encouraging me, the imperial court wants to remove me from the official position. Xiangguo, You Cheng , May I ask which court law I, Qiao, violated? Which law of the court violated? Is it because I, Qiao, did not go to worship the mountain gate to vote?
