Above the county government, officials were killed in public.

This kind of thing has been rare throughout the ages, and almost every time it will be written down in the history books.

The word "killing officials" has always been associated with rebellion, because officials are symbols of the imperial court and the embodiment of the power of the feudal dynasty. Therefore, killing officials is a violation of the king's law. Since there is no king's law, does it not count as a rebellion?

Today, Gu Tianya was so angry that he spilled five feet of blood for his friend. It must have been a great feeling, but he was in big trouble.

Everyone in the aristocratic family was very happy.

"Hahahaha, okay!"

Suddenly someone laughed loudly and shouted "Hello" loudly.

Then I saw this man coming out of the crowd, pointing at Sun Zhao who was lying in a pool of blood. He suddenly changed from laughing to crying, as if he was looking up to the sky to question, and said with grief and anger: "God, God, please open your eyes and take a look. My family is a member of this family."

It has been passed down for thousands of years, and we have worked hard to serve the people, defend the country, and govern the local area. As the backbone of the Han family, we have supported the pride of the nation. However, we have paid so much, and what have we received in return? Is it death, or being held in court?

Beat him to death..."

This guy looked up to the sky and cried loudly, as if he was really sad, and wailed: "Poor brother Sun Zhao, he was actually a handsome man for a while, but because he was upright and refused to bow his head, he was beaten to death in the county government office. He

But the county magistrate, he was questioning a case, he was still wearing official uniform, but he was beaten to death directly..."

This guy is definitely a good actor, but his acting is a bit too shameless.

Li Shimin's face was cold, and he suddenly snorted coldly at this person and said: "Lu Zhaoyun, you are going a little too far!"

As the King of Qin, he has already spoken, and the general of Tiance Mansion will definitely support him.

I saw Duan Zhixuan spat suddenly and said cursingly: "Everyone here today is a discerning person, who are you showing off to by crying like this? You are really not a kid!"

Next to him, Zhang Liang spoke at the same time, with a murderous look on his face: "You and I have no grievances, why do you treat me like a fool?"

Finally, Qin Qiong spoke slowly. The yellow-faced man was obviously angry and said in a deep voice: "I am afraid that this family is not worthy of the term "the backbone of the Han family." As for protecting the family and the country and supporting the pride of the nation, I really want to ask about it.

In one sentence, what were you doing when Wuhu went south? It seems that your bones are softer than anyone else, and you seem to kneel faster than anyone else..."

Four people in a row all made their voices heard. At this moment, Tiance Mansion supported Gu Tianya.

But that Lu Zhaoyun was not afraid, but continued to cry loudly, shouting about injustice, hoping to make God open his eyes.

In fact, everyone knows that it is a lie for him to cry out for injustice, and it is also a lie for God to open his eyes. His intention is extremely clear, and it is nothing more than to confirm Gu Tianya's crime of killing an official.

Zhao Ning suddenly gave a sharp shout, with a strong evil look on her pretty face, and said solemnly: "Lu Zhaoyun, try crying again, don't blame me. I want to remind you, everyone knows that I have a bad temper, Hebei

Bandits are rampant in the Tao, and they are close to the Turks on the grassland. If you all die here today, the news to the world will only be that bandits are causing chaos..."

The implication is self-explanatory, if Lu Zhaoyun dares to act again, she will kill all the five surnames and Qiwang present today, and then declare to the outside world that they died in banditry.

This threat is very powerful.

This is the real Li Xiuning, who is decisive and ruthless in killing.

If the other party pisses her off, she might really have a killer move.

As expected, Lu Zhaoyun was a little worried, and he stopped crying almost instantly. His face turned slightly ugly, and he sighed: "Oh, women are troublesome..."

Women are indeed troublesome because they are unwilling to reason. No matter how good Lu Zhaoyun is at acting, it will be in vain when he encounters an angry woman.

However, he is not particularly afraid of Zhao Ning's threat!

Because Qiwang of the Five Surnames is not so easy to kill.

From ancient times to the present, aristocratic families have been tyrannical. Not only do they have money and food, but they also maintain private soldiers. For example, the Li family of the Tang Dynasty was just an aristocratic family at the beginning. Why was Li Yuan able to raise an army to rebel? That's because the Li family already maintained private soldiers.

Today's five surnames and Qi Wang are similar to the Li family at that time.

Those present today are the representatives of the seven clans. Almost every clan is a behemoth. Not only do they have branches, but they also control the local area. They have private soldiers at home and secretly fund bandits. Their strength is extremely tyrannical, and it may not be much worse than the royal family!

If Zhao Ning really dares to kill people today, it means that the Li family and all the aristocratic families are at odds.

It will be a fight to the death. [Note: This is the real history of the early Tang Dynasty. When the aristocratic family was powerful, they even looked down on the royal family. For example, Li Shimin wanted to marry a daughter of the aristocratic family, but she was unwilling to marry him]

Due to Zhao Ning's sudden threat, today's matter is about to fall apart. But how can the three Li brothers and sisters really let things fall apart?

The aristocratic family is equally shrewd, so naturally they will not let the matter collapse, otherwise everyone will just overturn the table and stop playing, which will be of no benefit to either the royal family or the aristocratic family.

Since ancient times, everyone wants to seize power and interests. If they are similar in strength, each should take a step back to maintain a balance!

So now someone has to stand up and smooth things over.

The Li family was very good at doing this, and Li Jiancheng, the prince of the Tang Dynasty, was known as a good old man.

As for the aristocratic family, someone also stood up and suddenly raised his hand towards Li Jiancheng and said respectfully: "Your Highness, would you like to talk?"

"Hehehehe!" Li Jiancheng laughed at first without opening his mouth, and then took two steps forward with a calm expression on his face.

But he still didn't talk to the other party. Instead, he first pulled Gu Tianya behind him, and then said: "We are all acquaintances. Can you give me some face?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the audience looked excited. No matter the aristocratic family or the royal family, everyone laughed bitterly in their hearts and secretly said: "I knew it must be this way again."

The Prince of the Tang Dynasty, Li Jiancheng, was good at trying to save face.

But his face is extremely useful.

For example, during the chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty, the Li family raised an army to conquer the world. Brothers fought, father and son went into battle, Li Shimin and Li Xiuning led the battle, and Li Jiancheng was in charge of logistics. His Royal Highness, the prince, traveled among various aristocratic families, helping the Li family continuously.

Raise supplies.

He raised a lot of supplies, including more than just food.

Such as war horses!

Such as ordnance!

Salt, iron, herbs, cooking utensils, etc...

As long as it was necessary for marching and fighting, Li Jiancheng had to raise everything. He had borrowed debts from countless aristocratic families and must have made major promises. But after the founding of the Tang Dynasty, aristocratic families often asked him for debts. At this time, Li Jiancheng would show his talents.

His specialty is to use face to make creditors slow down a little.

The face of the Prince of the Tang Dynasty has become one of the most interesting stories in today's world.

Every time he asks for face, he involves tens of thousands of dollars, but today is different. He has to save face for one person...

But seeing Li Jiancheng speak again, he smiled and said to everyone: "You are all friends, we will see each other when we look up and we will see you when we look down. I think everyone can know what kind of person I am, Li Jiancheng, without having to tell me."

This is quite true.

Everyone present, no matter which family or clan they belonged to, really admired Li Jiancheng as a person.

Therefore, everyone nodded slightly, and even their expressions became much gentler, and they all smiled and said: "His Highness is generous-minded and has the air of an elder. We have always set him as an example and will not look at His Highness angrily unless we have to."

Li Jiancheng quickly handed over his hands, and as the prince, he actually gave everyone a half-salute. Just as everyone was hurriedly dodging, Li Jiancheng suddenly burst into laughter and said with a hint of rogue: "It's too late, you have already accepted my courtesy, so no matter what happens today,

, you have to give me some face."

As he spoke, he suddenly stretched out his hand, pointed at Gu Tianya, who was guarding him behind him, and said sincerely to everyone: "Get to know each other, this is my brother-in-law, Li Jiancheng."

How could everyone not know what he meant? They all looked at each other.

Li Jiancheng suddenly sighed, as if he was very sad and said: "What I care about most in my life is family love. I can't just watch my brother-in-law die."

It was quite difficult to do this for the aristocratic family present, and I didn’t know whether I should speak softly.

Only Lu Zhaoyun suddenly snorted coldly and said: "Your Highness has more than one sister, and naturally he also has more than one brother-in-law. If each of your brothers-in-law wants to kill officials in court, will Your Highness have to ask us every time?"

Asking for face? If that's the case, what are we doing while our family is still alive? It would be better to kill them directly at the neck, which would save His Highness a lot of trouble."

This man spoke very irritably, with a hint of dominance in his tone. However, Li Jiancheng was not angry. Instead, he suddenly raised his hand to him and said very sincerely: "Brother Lu, please step back. I do have many sisters.

There are indeed many brothers-in-law, but no one can compare to Gu Tianya."

Lu Zhaoyun snorted again and said, "Then what do you want?"

Li Jiancheng looked solemn and said solemnly: "Gu Tianya did not kill an official in public. He cannot bear the crime of killing an official."

This is his request.

After finishing speaking, he was afraid that everyone would not agree, and then added: "As for why Sun Zhao died, we can conclude that he became ill due to overwork, and the royal family granted him a posthumous title, claiming that he was a model official because he was dedicated to serving the people.

Fu, that's why he died of fatigue, and the royal family will use an imperial edict to tell the world that he is a very good official."

Lu Zhaoyun hesitated for a moment, then suddenly sneered: "This concession is too big, Fan Yang and Lu will not vote for the time being."

No vote for now.

But not urgently.

This was actually a concession, and Fan Yanglu gave Li Jiancheng face.

But then he spoke again, suddenly looked towards Li Shimin, and said with deep meaning: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is kind and gentle, we will definitely give him face. As for His Royal Highness King Qin's Tiance Mansion, that has to be discussed separately.

.The Fan Yanglu family will never forget the insults you just insulted me..."

Li Shimin smiled and said without changing his expression: "I am waiting for you to make a move."

Lu Zhaoyun looked at him deeply, then suddenly turned to Zhao Ning and said, "Princess Pingyang is so majestic. She actually threatened the Fan Yang Lu family just now."

Zhao Ning's eyes darkened, and she said coldly: "You, the Fanyang Lu family, are so powerful in the north that a little girl like me can't threaten you."

Lu Zhaoyun said "Hey" and nodded without fear, saying: "You're right!"

Zhao Ning's face flashed with murderous intent, and he said slowly: "Then I have to give it a try."

It's about to make a fuss again.
