Chapter 1324 Cleaning up Chang'an

The strong wind in the Western Region has not yet passed, but the storm in Chang'an City has come again. People from the Imperial City Si Yamen joined forces with the Youwu Guards to arrest people in Chang'an City before the curfew started at night.

Generally speaking, if the yamen of various ministries come out to arrest people, they have committed some common crimes, and they are not very serious. But if people from the yamen of the Imperial City come out to arrest people, it is not a trivial matter.

If your dear son commits a crime, the most he can do is to be taken in and reprimanded. As long as no one is killed, he can just pay for his sin. But if he enters the Imperial City Si Yamen, some things will be hard to say.

This time, in addition to the disciples of the fifth surname and Qi Wang, the most important thing is that they also captured a descendant of the royal family.

Li Yuan, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, lost power and was sent to live in old age by Li Shimin. As a result, the old man was not idle either. He would bring out children every now and then. As a result, Li Shimin suddenly had about 10 more brothers.

The Li Yuanchang who was beaten by Li Xiang was the same person, and the Li Yuangui who was kneeling in front of Li Xiang was also the same person.

Sui Wang Li Yuangui.

This title is not that great, but according to the rules of the Tang Dynasty, all sons born to Emperor Gaozu Li Yuan of the Tang Dynasty must be titled Yiziwang.

The power of the Tang Dynasty was taken from the Sui Dynasty. Since he was given this title, it means that Li Shimin does not like this person, so it is better to live a peaceful life and not get involved in these political events.

As a result, during the investigation by the Imperial City Si Yamen, this guy not only came into contact with spies from the Arab Empire, but also contacted various relatives and friends from them. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is the mastermind.

Kneeling next to him is Wang Qianbing, the current patriarch of the Wang family in Taiyuan.

The other descendants of the Five Surnames and Qiwang also participated, but the entire family was not involved. According to the previous rules of the Tang Dynasty, these people only need to be killed and will not be investigated in depth. After all, these big families are involved in the whole family. .

It is still the commercial method of Li Xiang and Li Shimin. It is not painful to cut the flesh slowly. We cannot kill them all at once. If we kill them all at once, the turmoil in the empire caused will not be something we can bear.

But the Wang family in Taiyuan is different. The entire family is in the lowest status, so they want to take a big gamble and the entire family is involved.

Of course, as much joy as there was at the beginning, it is now in such a state of desolation. All 72 main disciples of the Wang family in Taiyuan are now in the sky prison. Li Xiang is also sitting at the interrogation seat of the Imperial City Si Yamen, looking at these two people. What else to say.

"Five surnames and Qiwang were also well-known back then. Although there were various conflicts with the imperial court, they did not surrender to the enemy and betray the country. Do you have anything to say now? If you have nothing to say, more than 70 of your main descendants of the Wang family will be killed tomorrow. Chang'an City Wen Zhan will be launched."

Li Xiangyi said sternly, these are also well-known figures, but I didn't expect that you colluded with the Arab Empire in an attempt to create chaos in Chang'an City, which would then affect the entire Western Region and make the countries in the Western Region fall to the Arab Empire. If that were the case, The armies of the Arab Empire were able to reach Gaochang directly.

In addition, the countries in the Western Regions can also form hundreds of thousands of coalition forces. These hundreds of thousands of coalition forces will follow the Arab Empire's army to fight. By that time, our Datang will have no territory at all in the Western Regions, and An army must also be organized to go to Gaochang. If it is defeated, the Arab Empire can even march straight in.

"There is nothing to say about this. It is nothing more than the success of the king and the defeat of the bandits. Are there still five surnames and seven hopes now? How much has our strength been reduced by His Highness's repeated attacks? I'm afraid no one knows it better than His Highness. I When the Wang family in Taiyuan was once prominent, you, the Li family, did not dare to fight against us. What kind of life are we living now? There is no need to say anything. As long as we fail, we will not be able to deal with you at your will. Remember If you stay here, you, the Li family, may not be able to go further, and it is impossible for your family to make the final decisions in this world."

Wang Qianbing was also a bachelor. He knew that at this point, the other party must have mastered all the evidence, otherwise it would be impossible to arrest more than 70 people. You must know that more than 20 of them are still serving as officials in various places. If someone is arrested, a lot of people will be affected, but the Tang court still did this, which shows that the evidence is ironclad.

Hearing that this guy sounded quite fearless, Li Xiang really didn't know what to say. He was so confident in betraying his own country and nation.

"I don't want to say anything more to you. Since you said it for this reason, except for these more than 70 people, no one from your Wang family can stay to spread the king's will to the nine clans of the Wang family in Taiyuan."

After Li Xiang finished speaking, this guy no longer had the calmness he had just now.

The death of these more than 70 people is indeed a heavy loss for the Taiyuan Wang family, but at least the family still exists, but if the Nine Clan is killed, it will be equivalent to nothing.

"I've been told that your great grandson acted fairly. There are hundreds of old, weak, sick and young people in my family. Did they also do something wrong? They don't know about this at all."

Facing the whole family, young and old, the patriarch finally couldn't bear it anymore.

"Although you are a Han, what you do is not worthy of the Han. Our internal struggle is just like what you said. Our Li family cannot continue for thousands of years, but these are all our internal struggles. You can protect the Han family, but what you did will make it impossible for us to protect the Han family. Once foreigners enter the Central Plains, do you know how many people will die?"

There are many such things in history. When the nomads entered the Central Plains, the fate of us Han people was extremely tragic. It is not unknown that the Five Lakes disrupted China. The Han people at that time were called two-legged sheep.

When Li Xiang said this, the patriarch of the Wang family didn't know what to say. What he did had indeed exceeded the bottom line of others. Therefore, although Li Xiang's punishment was a bit more severe, it was still considered a punishment for others. A reminder to people.

You can do whatever you want to fight internally, at least it will not let the Han family fall into the hands of others, but if you collude with foreigners, this will be the result for you, and no one can avoid it.

"If you want to cooperate with foreigners in your next life, then you should become a foreigner."

Li Xiang waved his hand, and his men pulled this guy out, and the only one left was the Sui King Li Yuangui. (End of chapter)
