Chapter 180: Ping Jiang Family
The head of the Jiang family stood in the ancestral hall for a long time without saying a word. After the elders had finished discussing, he said: "Everyone, please listen to me. I, Jiang Heng, have been the head of this clan for more than thirty years.
, when it comes to major issues in the family, I never make a final decision. I always listen to everyone’s opinions.
But today's matter is different from the past. Just now, I received news that the entire Li family in Jiannan Road has been dispersed. Do you know why?"
The elders were speechless and listened attentively.
"That's because everyone in the Li family knows that the current king of Wei is different from the previous emperors of Wei. He is more talented and strategic than Taizu, and has more military ability than Emperor Taizong.
, understands politics better than Emperor Renzong.
It can be said that he is an emperor who is rare to see in a thousand years. Any obstacles that prevent him from becoming an emperor throughout the ages will be crushed by the general trend of history.
I had already anticipated what would happen today when the great elder insisted on doing that thing. Now, at the critical moment of the Jiang family's life and death, I only give you one order, and you all listen to it."
The elders were deeply shocked when they heard the patriarch speaking in such a serious tone.
Perhaps, today is really a critical moment of life and death.
"Please ask the patriarch to speak!"
"Yes, clan leader, since the situation is already so critical, there is no need to procrastinate. Our entire clan is waiting for your order."
“…”
However, what Jiang Heng said next made them feel incredible again, "All the children of our clan who are under the age of twenty, regardless of gender, let them sneak into the states and roads anonymously. They can also go to other countries. In short, from now on,
Remember not to let them take Jiang as their surname again.
Your Majesty, with an army of 300,000, will set out from Chang'an to Liangzhou City, and it will take at least one and a half days or nearly two days at the fastest. He will use all means to collect all the wealth of the Jiang family within today and tomorrow.
Half of the clan's talented people will be given to you, and the other half will be left to Your Majesty. Only if he finds the money will he let go of the young talents of my Jiang family."
Now that the words have reached this point, the elders have been shocked and their brains have gone blank.
Someone asked: "Does the clan leader think that our Jiang family cannot escape this disaster?"
This question focused everyone's attention on Jiang Heng.
They hoped to find a glimmer of life in Jiang Heng's eyes.
However, at this moment, his eyes were not only bloodshot but bloodshot.
He shook his head and said: "Throughout the ages, there has never been an ever-lasting force, and this is true for dynasties, families, and even martial arts sects.
Today the Jiang family is destroyed by my hands. Under the Nine Springs, I, Jiang Heng, am going to apologize to my ancestors, so you don’t have to worry too much."
The great elder narrowed his eyes and said something treacherous and unethical, "Our Jiang family has banks all over the world. We can use the power of the banks to unite with other aristocratic families to create chaos in the world, and then choose an emperor.
Back then, my ancestors of the Jiang family did this, why can't we do it today? Everyone in this country does it the same, and it's not just the person named Zhao who has to do it."
When Jiang Heng heard this heart-wrenching comment, he wanted to get angry, because the Jiang family suffered such a catastrophe because it was all the fault of the elder. If he hadn't insisted on saving the two princes and sending them to other countries, what would happen today
The Jiang family would never be reduced to such a situation, but at a critical moment, they really couldn't affect their harmony for fear of causing more trouble, so he just sighed:
"If this matter had been left to Renzong's time, there would have been a lot of potential, but it is different now. The moment His Majesty decided to take action against my Jiang family, Shen Wansan had already used all means to contain our banks all over the country. .
If he does anything else, Shen Wansan will definitely seize our bank as soon as possible. In other words, His Majesty actually started planning for us a long time ago.
With Shen Wansan, the space that our family can control is too little. This is why I have repeatedly emphasized that today's new emperor will become the emperor of the ages in the near future.
He is the most successful person in history who runs his family as a merchant..."
Someone asked again: "Since Shen Wansan has begun to control our Jiang family's industry, how will the money be gathered?"
Jiang Heng said: "Cash money, cash money from banks in various places, I started arranging it a few days ago. Your Majesty has half of my Jiang family's money. No matter what, he will not kill all my Jiang family members."
Having said that, what is Zhao Changqing doing now?
After leading the army out of the capital in a grand manner, he lay down in the dragon's nest and slept.
After waking up, he asked Zhao Yun, who was riding a horse beside Long Hu, and asked, "Where are you now?"
Zhao Yun replied: "Your Majesty, we are about to enter the boundary of Jiannan Road."
Zhao Changqing nodded and said: "In addition to sleeping and eating in the meantime, let the army not stop, and order the governors of the states in Jiannan Road not to come to greet them. Anyone who violates the rules will be killed without mercy."
When he led his troops out of the capital this time, he was really there to do something, not to enjoy the mountains and rivers. It would be too annoying if all those officials came to pay homage to him.
The next day, we arrived in Liangzhou City.
Every household has its doors and windows closed.
At this moment, Liangzhou City is like an empty city.
The prefect of Liangzhou City had a close relationship with the Jiang family and ran away overnight for fear of being implicated.
Zhao Changqing ordered 150,000 troops to pour into the city and surrounded the Jiang family.
And Jiang Heng has been waiting for the Holy Master in front of the Jiang family for a long time.
After hearing the news that the army had entered the city, he led the elders of his clan to kneel in front of the memorial arch of the Jiang family's mansion.
After Zhao Changqing found out about this, he asked Jiang Wei to come to him.
Jiang Heng knelt in front of the dragon, while Zhao Changqing sat in the dragon and did not show up.
Jiang Heng knelt down and kowtowed nine times towards Long Chusan and said: "The common people pay homage to Your Majesty and wish Your Majesty eternal prosperity and unification of the world!"
Hearing his respectful greeting, Zhao Changqing felt that there was something wrong with his ears.
I came to kill his whole family!
What's going on with him?
Zhao Changqing came out of Longhu and saw Jiang Heng knocking his head to the ground and not daring to get up, so he asked: "Do you know what I am doing in Liangzhou City today?"
Jiang Hengbei said respectfully: "The common people know."
Zhao Changqing took a bowl of green plums from the hand of a palace maid who was serving him in daily life, ate one, then spit the core onto Jiang Heng, and said, "Let's talk about it."
Although Jiang Heng noticed something foreign touching him, he still did not dare to get up and said: "Your Majesty is here today to punish the Jiang family for the matter of two traitors."
Zhao Changqing nodded and said: "You are right. I am here today to punish your Jiang family and then eradicate your Jiang family. Do you have anything else to say?"
