Chapter 390: Encircling the Crown and Belt Again - The Demonic Doomsday
As the imperial capital of the Han Dynasty, Chengdu is the current political, cultural and economic center of the Han Dynasty.
Under such circumstances, there are countless aristocratic families living in Chengdu.
It's just that birds of a feather flock together and people divide into groups. Rich families from different factions will subconsciously live together in order to form a de facto grouping behavior.
Not far from the Imperial Palace in Chengdu, to the west, there is an alley dedicated to Yizhou aristocratic families, called Guangeli.
The family of Zhou Qun, who was captured by Liu Bei's order, originally lived in this village.
From the name of this lane, we can see the sense of superiority in the minds of the Yizhou family and their inner ambition.
As the leader of the Yizhou family, the Brazilian Qiao family naturally also lived in Guandai.
In Qiao's mansion, a young man was in the courtyard, showing off his collection of books.
This young man was Qiao Zhou, whom Qiao Yu had high hopes for.
Qiao Zhou was famous at a young age and was valued by Zhuge Liang. In addition to the fact that he had many Yizhou aristocratic families behind him to build momentum for him, his own talents and learning should not be underestimated.
After all, Zhuge Liang is not the kind of person who only cares about reputation.
Qiao Zhou was able to possess considerable talents at a young age, which is closely related to his personal attitude towards literature.
Even though he knew that today was a crucial day for his family, when he saw the bright sun shining brightly today, Qiao Yu still consciously took out his books and put them in the sun to dry.
Most of the books in the contemporary world were bamboo slips, and Chengdu was located in a basin with a lot of water vapor in the air, so Qiao Zhou often did this kind of thing in the past.
But when Qiao Zhou carefully unfolded the bamboo slips one by one and placed them on the ground to dry, he did not realize what kind of big event was happening in the crown belt.
Teams of elite tiger warriors, led by Mi Wei, quickly rushed into the crown, just like what Mi Yang did back then.
When many servants of the Yizhou family in Guandi Li saw Huben rushing into Guandi Li, they, who were bullies in the past, did not step forward to stop Huben.
The servants of the aristocratic family all have a certain level of knowledge, and it would be fine if they were ordinary county soldiers, but now the one who comes here is Huben, who is a member of the Imperial Guards of the Han Dynasty.
Faced with such status and well-trained elites, which servant would dare to step forward and die on his own initiative.
Although they didn't dare to step forward to stop them, looking at the many tigers and tigers looking like wolves and tigers, the Yizhou family who got the news first could not help but feel worried in their hearts.
Could it be that something unexpected happened during today's court meeting?
There are even some children from aristocratic families who are still thinking, could it be that Mi Yang was angry and led his troops back to Chengdu?
After all, among today's great Han people, the only ones with the power to mobilize Huben are Liu Bei and Mi Zhu.
Just when many spies sent by the Yizhou family wanted to further investigate the disappearance, those spies sent by the Yizhou family quickly got a definite piece of news.
Those tigers are heading towards the Qiao clan's mansion!
When the news was quickly spread back to each family, the disciples in each family breathed a long sigh of relief.
But what followed after that was the deep doubt in my heart.
The Qiao clan has always been very low-key, and Qiao Zhou has just been valued by Zhuge Liang as his subordinate.
From these two aspects, the behavior of many Huben going to the Qiao family's mansion is very confusing.
With doubts in their hearts, many children of the aristocratic families who got the news walked out of their homes one after another and slowly gathered outside the Qiao family's mansion.
And when many descendants of the Yizhou family arrived, they saw a scene that surprised them.
Most of them knew Mi Wei.
They saw that after Mi Wei led Huben to Qiao's mansion, he didn't even wait for the concierge's notification and directly ordered Huben behind him to knock open the door of Qiao's mansion.
Mi Wei's reckless behavior made many Yizhou family members realize a very serious fact.
Directly leading the army to break open the door of the palace is tantamount to declaring war. Mi Wei would not do such a thing easily based on his past reputation.
Therefore, there is only one explanation for Mi Wei's behavior today, and that is that the Qiao family must have committed something big enough to implicate the entire clan, which made Mi Wei so unscrupulous.
However, after Mi Wei led Huben to break open the door of Qiao's Mansion, he led a large number of Huben to rush into Qiao's Mansion, leaving only some Huben on guard outside.
Therefore, many descendants of the Yizhou family still do not know exactly what the Brazilian Qiao family did.
They didn't know that they would soon face the same fate as the Brazilian Qiao family.
After Mi Wei led Hu Ben into the Qiao Mansion, he immediately ordered Huben to disperse and capture a group of people in the Qiao Mansion.
And Mi Wei specifically ordered: "If there is resistance, kill them on the spot."
Mi Wei will not be merciful to those who dare to betray the Han Dynasty.
After arranging this matter, Mi Wei captured a servant of the Qiao family and asked him to lead him to find Qiao Zhou.
Mi Wei knew that Qiao Yu had no children, and also knew that among the Qiao clan, Qiao Zhou was the one with the highest voice to become the next head of the Qiao clan.
Therefore, Qiao Zhou is the eldest son of the Qiao clan.
As the saying goes, to capture the thief first, capture the king. Now that Qiao Yu has been captured, if he wants to further undermine the Qiao family's power in Chengdu, then Qiao Zhou is Mi Wei's priority to capture.
When Qiao's servants saw the menacing tigers, they were frightened out of their wits.
Under Mi Wei's order, he did not dare to disobey at all and quickly led Mi Wei and a group of tiger warriors towards the courtyard where Qiao Zhou was.
Just when Mi Wei was leading his army towards Qiao Zhou's location, Qiao Zhou happened to take out "Ouyang Shangshu" from many books in his collection.
"Ouyang Shangshu" is one of the mainstream classical classics in the world, and its status is very high in the hearts of scholars at the time.
Among the many aristocratic families in the world, there are two top aristocratic families that stand out from the crowd, and one of them is the Hongnong Yang family.
The reason why the ancestors of the Hongnong Yang family were able to grow from a farmer to a famous celebrity made the entire Hongnong Yang family prosperous.
The fundamental reason is that he was lucky enough to learn "Ouyang Shangshu" and passed it down from generation to generation as a family study.
This fully reflects the influence of "Ouyang Shangshu" in the contemporary world.
Even with the current family background of the Brazilian Qiao family, it was not easy for Qiao Zhou to obtain an annotated "Ouyang Shangshu".
There is currently only one copy of the entire Brazilian Qiao family.
And this only one was given to Qiao Zhou by Qiao Yu. He hoped that Qiao Zhou could study this "Ouyang Shangshu" well and then carry forward the entire Brazilian Qiao family in the future.
Qiao Yu's love for Qiao Zhou was profound. Similarly, due to the importance of "Ouyang Shangshu", Qiao Zhou valued it even more than his own life.
Qiao Zhou looked at the "Ouyang Shangshu" in his hand, with a look of extreme treasure on his face.
But just when Qiao Zhou was about to carefully put down the "Ouyang Shangshu" in his hand to dry, a servant with a fearful face rushed into his courtyard and exclaimed to him:
"Lang Jun, many, many tigers rushed in!"
Due to the fear in his heart, the servant was speechless, but at least he conveyed the shocking news to Qiao Zhou.
After Qiao Zhou heard the shocking news, his reaction was not much better.
Qiao Zhou understood the importance of the word "huben" better than this servant.
Qiao Zhou was stunned by the news and stood on the spot.
The shock in his mind made Qiao Zhou unable to hold the "Ouyang Shangshu" in his hand anymore, and the "Ouyang Shangshu" that he regarded as a treasure just fell to the ground.
After "Ouyang Shangshu" fell to the ground, the side with the words was stained by the dust on the ground.
In particular, the eight words "The people are the foundation of the country, the foundation is strong and the country is peaceful", which are regarded as the standard by countless scholars, seemed even more filthy at this moment.
What Qiao Zhou didn't notice was that behind these eight words, Ouyang Gong had specially warned this sentence:
"If you violate it, let's do it together."
It is a pity that even with "Ouyang Shangshu" in hand, it is obvious that no one in the Brazilian Qiao family paid attention to this warning.
Otherwise, where would the panic and shock of Qiao Zhou today be?
No matter how outstanding Qiao Zhou is, he is still young after all, and it is obvious that he is in a state of confusion at this time.
Fortunately, the servants on the side kept shouting in surprise, which made Qiao Zhou wake up from his daze.
However, when faced with the suggestion of his servants escaping, Qiao Zhou rejected it with confusion.
He is now without a master, but that does not mean that his judgment has been completely lost.
Huben is an elite member of the Han Dynasty. Once they are dispatched, where can he escape in Chengdu?
Qiao Zhou was not wrong in his judgment. Just as he rejected the proposal to get rid of his servants, Mi Wei happened to bring Huben to his courtyard.
When Mi Wei arrived with Huben, he saw the shocked and panic look on Qiao Zhou's face. Without any hesitation, he immediately ordered Huben behind him to surround Qiao Zhou.
Then Mi Wei read out Liu Bei's edict.
After Qiao Zhou heard Liu Bei's edict, he finally knew the reason why Mi Wei led his army directly into the palace.
But he would rather not know!
Qiao Yu colluded with Wei to rebel. This was a definite death penalty, and it was even a crime that could annihilate the entire clan!
With this crime, the Brazilian Qiao family may be removed from the world.
After realizing this, Qiao Zhou became unsteady and fell to the ground after taking a few steps back.
An emotion called despair began to linger on Qiao Zhou's face.
Qiao Zhou looked at Mi Wei in front of him. The scene in the field reminded him of the scene in Zhou Qun's courtyard.
It was also sudden, and soldiers surrounded the courtyard.
The difference is that Zhou Qun, who was captured at that time, is now himself.
Everything may have been predetermined somewhere.
Mi Wei didn't care how Qiao Zhou reacted after hearing the news. After reading Liu Bei's oral edict, he directly sent people forward to arrest Qiao Zhou.
Facing Huben's capture, Qiao Zhou, who was completely down, had no intention of resisting at all.
It was only when Qiao Zhou was taken away and passed by Mi Wei that Qiao Zhou reacted instantly. With a pleading look in his eyes, he begged Mi Wei to let Mi Wei put away all his books.
Facing Qiao Zhou's request, Mi Wei, who was also a scholar, did not refuse.
Perhaps the people of the Qiao clan are guilty, but knowledge is innocent.
Seeing that Mi Wei agreed to his request, Qiao Zhou was taken away with a little comfort in his heart.
After Qiao Zhou was taken away, Mi Wei, who felt that the task was basically completed, began to lead people to pack up the books in the courtyard.
In today's world, every book collection is a family's most valuable asset.
He quickly turned to the "Ouyang Shangshu" lying there and caught Mi Wei's attention.
After Mi Wei bent down to pick up "Ouyang Shangshu" on the ground, he saw the eight words "The people are the foundation of the country, the foundation is strong and the country is peaceful" that was contaminated by dust.
After seeing these eight characters, Mi Wei showed a cautious look on his face, and he carefully used his sleeves to clean away the dust on these eight characters.
A person's initial ideals may be tainted by worldly desires.
But in every era there are always some people who are willing to sacrifice their lives for that ideal to clear away the dirt and let the ideal shine with its original light.
Mi Wei is not such a person.
But fortunately, the master he served was...
The children of various aristocratic families who were waiting outside the Qiao family's house soon saw Qiao Zhou being escorted out of the house by Huben with a look of death on his face.
At this moment, after many inquiries from various parties, many descendants of the Yizhou family also knew the reason why the Qiao family was arrested.
After learning this, the first reaction of many children of the Yizhou family was not to feel mournful and angry for the Qiao family.
Their first reaction was deep suspicion and fear.
They all know why Qiao Yu and their clan leader participated in the meeting today. Now that Qiao Yu has been charged with treason and arrested in court, what about their clan leader?
Thinking that their clan leader has not returned for a long time, many Yizhou aristocratic family members began to feel uneasy.
So many descendants of the Yizhou family wanted to send spies outside the palace gate to find out the news. Unfortunately, their spies were driven back by Huben who was guarding the inner gate before they could go out.
Just now, an order from Prime Minister Zhuge Liang reached Mi Wei's hands.
"From today on, I will be isolated from the rest of the world."
The reason why Zhuge Liang issued this order was because he did not want some criminals to have the opportunity to escape and cause trouble.
But when Zhuge Liang's order spread throughout Guandei, many Yizhou family members in Guandei immediately fell into deep panic.
Unknown military control is always the scariest thing.
But in the face of elite soldiers constantly coming from all over Chengdu, what can the children of the Yizhou family do?
Even though all the aristocratic families in the crown belt each have their own private soldiers, without the leadership of each family head, the many Yizhou aristocratic families cannot fully unite.
Moreover, even if they unite together, can they use private soldiers to fight in the streets with the Han army?
I'm afraid this is not funny.
When Mi Wei led his troops back to the inner door of Guandai, he saw the three characters "dragon and phoenix" hanging high on the inner door.
Now the same emotions as those in Mi Yang's heart appeared in his heart.
In the crown belt, it sounds like such a glamorous place.
But even in such a bright and beautiful place, there are countless evils hidden.
Mi Wei sneered at the thought.
If you don't have a legitimate status, Your Majesty wouldn't be able to go on a killing spree.
But as long as the title is in hand, the end of the Yizhou family will come.
The entire Han Dynasty is about to enter a new era.
