After the dynasty, the bosses of each department came to the office of the Secretariat in a tacit understanding. Since the Secretariat adheres to the monarchy's will, takes charge of the confidentiality, and places where the emperor's edicts are issued, they often have first-hand information, so if there is anything, officials of each department want to find out the news in the Secretariat. Over time, they have formed the habit of sitting in the Secretariat after the court discussion.

The thunder that exploded today is actually not new. This has been the case in all dynasties, but no one mentioned it because it cannot be mentioned. After the Qin and Han Dynasties, before the Sui and Tang Dynasties, all dynasties were dominant, and the imperial power was limited, so they could not leave the capital and could not control it.

But when Li Shimin ascended the throne, it was very different. The military power of the imperial court now exceeded that of previous dynasties, and the aristocratic families went through chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty and reached the weakest period in history. To put it bluntly, they could do it behind the scenes and rebellion, but they had no ability at all.

In other words, Li Shimin has the ability to eliminate the family, it only depends on whether he is willing to pay the price.

Although the clans have the power to fight, they can't resist their thighs in the end. If Li Shimin insists on his own, everyone will be fish on the chopping board and no one can escape.

In this regard, the appeals of the Longyou nobles and the five surnames and Qi Wangs should be considered consistent.

The Secretary of the Central Committee, Cen Wenben, was the master of this place. When everyone came, he asked the minor officials to serve tea, but it was vain. Who was in the mood to drink it? Wei Zheng seemed to have become ten years old in an instant, sitting on a chair with his head hanging down. He was really hit. When the picture was exhausted, he understood everything, but what's the use? Every step was plotted tightly, and Li Mu used open conspiracy, and there was no room for argument. He was not at all right or national laws, and he lost before he could fight.

After a long time no one spoke, we couldn't keep quiet so much. Wang Gui looked around and said, "What do you think of me, why don't you say it?"

"Say!" Someone answered, "Shujie Wang, are you planning to beg for mercy again, right? You have lived a long life and are getting back to life. You can go by yourself this time, we can't afford to lose this face!"

Wang Gui argued with a blushing face: "What do you mean to beg for mercy? If you listened to me last time, would you have so much trouble? It's just that you are willing to pay a little money."

"Stop fart!" When the disaster was approaching, he didn't care about politeness. Someone shouted: "If the ignorant guy in your family hadn't been to assassinate, what would have happened? Who would have been to blame?"

"I……"

"Okay!" Wei Zheng shouted loudly and said, "Stop making arguing, stop making arguing..."

Wei Zheng was still a little strong. When he shouted, he became quiet. Someone was unwilling to give up and asked in a stern voice: "Duke Wei, is there no way to do it?"

Wei Zheng smiled bitterly and said, "What else can I do now? You have also seen the memorial of Changsun Chong. The calculation of the land area is accurate to acres and the tax items are accurate to the text. If you want to argue, who can come up with evidence?"

"It must be Li Mu's trick. We have all fallen into the trap!"

"How about we fight together? We should have the strength to fight!"

Wei Zheng sighed and said, "Li Mu has taken all the links into consideration, one by one, how can I fight? The previous thing, according to the Tang Dynasty, should be destroyed by the three tribes. In order to let the people live a life, Your Majesty practices the law, which is the most righteous. Leaving me the practice of the law has blocked my long mouth. What do you think about the current situation? When it is beneficial to you, shouting for the law and taking the law as nothing to you when you lose it. If you really do this, don't say that Your Majesty can't speak for it, even if you face the people of the world, you can't explain it at all! Even if you succeed in making the argument, the thousand-year reputation of the aristocratic families will be destroyed! And if you don't respect the law, there is no reason to pardon tens of thousands of people before. No matter how you choose, it's wrong!"

Wang Gui said hatred: "It's so vicious! It's blocked at both ends, and there are pits in the front and back! Alas! This guy is so evil, it's so bad!"

"What's the use of complaining now?" Someone glared at Wang Gui and said, "Why did you admit that it was your tongue that was cut the day before yesterday? If you don't admit it, you still have a fight!"

"I..." Wang Gui wanted to explain, but couldn't say anything. Can he say that Li Mu and Wang Ou were involved, and Wang Zhi knew about this? If it was missed, Li Mu would not be able to take it, but according to his personality, would he let the Wang family in Taiyuan? Even if he died, he would have to take a custody!

Wang Gui gritted his teeth and said, "One code will be the same as one code. I am also a shameful person. How can someone be punished?"

Changsun Wuji interrupted the meaningless argument for everyone and said, "Now, hurry up and take out a charter. Your Majesty's attitude is very clear. It is impossible to get away with it! What should I do? Duke Wei, do you know what to do?"

Wei Zheng smiled bitterly and said, "What should I do? Is there an acre of land owned by me, Wei Zheng? But if we follow the law, the world will be in chaos. I don't know what to do!"

"If you can't help, can you listen to me?"

Suddenly, a young voice was heard. Everyone turned their heads and looked over. There was a green robe standing in the corner. Is it Changsun Chong or someone? Everyone couldn't help but look at each other. When did this kid follow in? He heard what he said just now?

At this time, Wei Zheng looked at Changsun Chong and said, "What do you think about Li Mu? Is he trying to make things like this? Is he trying to be in chaos in the world?!"

Changsun Chong came close to him, neither humble nor arrogant, and said, "My teacher asked me to tell you not to think of him so badly. He is a kind and beautiful boy, without so much scheming. The bad guy is you, it is not his business. You should fight against the high-ranking official Sun Wuji looked at his son and saw Li Mu's appearance in him. This was exactly the same arrogance. In this tone, he was immediately displeased and frowned and said, "Cheng'er, you are your elders, how can you speak so recklessly and not apologize?"

Changsun Chong swallowed, still stuttering his neck, and said, "I'm sorry, my teacher, I dare not forget the teachings of my teacher. My teacher said, our Xiaoyao Sect never shows weakness and will never be polite when doing serious business."

"You little brat"

Changsun Wuji raised his hand to beat him, but Changsun closed his eyes tightly and was ready to be beaten. He didn't dare to ignore Li Mu, and he deserved to be beaten, and he was prepared in his heart.

But the beating was still not a hit and was stopped by Wei Zheng. Now that things have come to this point, it is useless to beat Changsun Chong, and there is no need to offend anyone.

Wei Zheng looked at Changsun Chong and asked, "I wonder what your mentor will ask us to reflect on?"

"My teacher said that at the beginning, he did not want to do anything about the matter in the field, and everything was easy to discuss. But you did not give any face at all and had a very bad attitude. Obviously, they did not take the Ministry of Internal Affairs seriously. This is OK. Our Ministry of Internal Affairs has always been pragmatic and we will bear it. But you shouldn't have been afraid to send someone to assassinate him and accidentally injured Your Majesty. My teacher said, "I respect people, I respect people, I offend me, I will kill people! He endures once, but I will not endure the second time. Besides, he did not use evil plans, but just used the plan. If there is no assassin's business, this situation will not be done today. You are all responsible for the consequences. Now he has drawn two paths for you, either admit defeat or resist stubbornly. If you admit defeat, please ask Duke Wei to go to the valley to talk to him. If you resist stubbornly."

Changsun Chong said expressionlessly: "He said he has a last move, and he can break the five surnames and seven hopes into five surnames and seventy hopes. If you don't believe it, you can try it."

"Arrogant!"

Someone cursed: "A thousand-year-old family, demolished? How dare this kid Li Mu speak such a arrogant saying!"

"I don't believe it either. Can Li Mu reach out to the inside of the family affairs?"

There were many people yelling, but only a few people who really kept their word were silent. Especially Wang Gui, he knew very well. Like the Wang family in Taiyuan, it is known as the number one family in the world, but it is not a single inside. If Li Mu induces him with his power and suppresses him with his power, it may not be possible to split the Wang family in Taiyuan into several branches. In history, the Wang family in Taiyuan has not been separated, but after all, it is all profit.

Wei Zheng was silent for a while and asked, "Where is your mentor now?"

Changsun Chong blushed and replied, "Mr.... may play mahjong in heaven and earth."

"Tell him that I will visit within three days. I need some preparation and hope he can understand."

"Okay, Mr. Wei, I will definitely tell you the original words."

After saying that, Changsun rushed towards Changsun Wuji and bowed, turned around and left the Secretariat. As he left, there was another clamor in the hall. A little eunuch eavesdropped for a while, turned around and ran over to Taiji Hall.

...

After hearing the retelling of the little eunuch, Li Shimin frowned and waved his hand. The little eunuch retreated. Li Shimin leaned on the back of the chair and looked at the high-ranking cadre and asked, "Gao Guan, why is this kid so small and vengeful. Who would have thought that he had gone around such a big circle, because no one gave him face when he brought the fields before... Is this kid really a tiger's butt so hard?"

Eunuch Gao smiled and said, "Your Majesty, this is also the ability of Zhulu Hou."

Li Shimin also smiled and said, "It's indeed a skill. I'm now more and more impressed by him." Suddenly, Li Shimin frowned and asked, "Why didn't there be any news about the prince recently? I have returned to the palace and he didn't come to ask for advice. Does he know that there is such a father as me?"

"Uh..." Eunuch Gao wanted to speak but stopped, looking like he didn't know whether he should say it. Seeing this, Li Shimin shouted: "Has this kid made something wrong again? Say!"
