The Empress Xiliang, wearing a jade crown, sat in the empress dowager's bedroom. Seeing the Xiliang soldiers kill all the leaders of the eight major families, the Empress Dowager's palace screamed in tears.
The Queen of Xiliang's face was as gloomy as water, and blood splattered on the Queen of Xiliang's feet, which was facing the pearl-like clouds. She lowered her eyes and felt that the bright redness was too dazzling.
The eight major clan leaders and the men who resisted were killed, leaving only women and children covered in blood trembling in the pile of corpses.
"Li Tianjiao! What's the point of killing the patriarch and family of our eight major families today!" The wife of the patriarch of the eight major families held her youngest son in her arms, and hugged her youngest son tightly in her arms, trembling and crying, "Class leader,"
They are all the eight major families pushing forward. Do you think that killing a clan leader and killing the clan leader’s family will disperse? No!"
"So..." Xiliang Empress Li Tianjiao looked up at the wife of the Yun family's clan leader, "What do you think I support your son as the clan leader?"
"What?" The wife of the leader of the Yun family did not seem to have expected Li Tianjiao to say this, and her expression was surprised.
Li Tianjiao turned his head to signal to the commander of the imperial guard beside him. The commander brought the eunuch holding two cups of honeydew. Without saying a word, he poured honeydew in with the wife of the Yun family leader and ordered the imperial guard to
The wife of the chief clan of the Yun family pulled it apart, pinched the face of the crying child, and poured honey into it.
"Ah! Ah!" The wife of the leader of the Yun family saw her son's little arms and legs slapped the arms of the imperial commander, but was still poured into the honeydew. She screamed and cried, not knowing where the strength came from
Pushing away the imperial guards that pulled her away, rushing over and taking back his son. He didn't care about being poured with honey dew on himself, and reached out to pick the child's throat: "Spit it out! Spit it out soon!"
The child cried and struggled.
"Don't worry... it's not something that can kill you immediately!" Li Tianjiao said indifferently, "If you let him spit it out, why bother to get it?"
"Li Tianjiao! You must die a good death!" The wife of the leader of the Yun family cried and scolded hysterically.
"Drink it all! From now on, as long as you are obedient, there will be antidotes every month. If you are disobedient... you will wait to die!" Li Tianjiao used the secret medicine he once used for the royal deceased soldiers on the eight major families.
.
"Only the Queen Mother knows the method of preparing this secret medicine. If you have the confidence to convince the Queen Mother and kill me for you... you can try to be disobedient! Anyway, there are many people in the Eight Great Family, and it will be the same for me to support anyone to take office!"
Li Tianjiao's voice was indifferent and cold.
"Li Tianjiao, you are so cruel, you kill like a slaughter... You must not die a good death!" Someone cursed the Queen of Xiliang loudly.
Li Tianjiao lowered his eyes, but in an instant, blood splattered... the woman fell to the ground and couldn't get up.
Kill the chicken to scare the monkey, and the hall suddenly became silent.
Unexpectedly, the Eight Great Family’s awe of her, the Empress of Xiliang, had no idea. Fortunately... she made up her mind today, otherwise she would not know what kind of disaster would cause in the future!
"The eight major families are willing to hand over the granary. If they are obedient in the future, they will stay. If they don't want to... they will send their whole family to the road together!" After Li Tianjiao said that, he stood up and walked out.
The remaining people from the eight major families surrendered quickly. Some people knew where their granaries were, and those who didn't know said that they would report it immediately after they went back.
But their speed was far faster than Xiao Ruohai's speed. When the sky was about to dawn, the Queen of the Great Zhou, who had not slept all night, received the news that the granary of the Eight Great Masters was burned.
The Queen of Great Zhou stood up in shock: "What did you say?!"
The general who was covered in smoke and black news raised his head: "The granary of the Eight Great Family was poured with hot oil and set a fire again. We rushed to take over the fire and saved the fire that had been overnight. The food... I'm afraid I can't eat it anymore.
!”
Li Tianjiao clenched his fists tightly: "All eight granaries are burning?"
"Yes! They all burned! The people from the Eight Great Family rushed to put out the fire... but they still couldn't save them!"
This action was so fast, except for Cui Fengnian... Li Tianjiao would not make a second doubt.
At first, Li Tianjiao felt that Cui Gongxing was working with the Eight Great Family to disrupt the wind and clouds of Xiliang. She also gave the eight major families the advice to encourage the people to give up farming and devoted their energy to jade brocade, fur and papermaking, which made it necessary for the Eight Great Family to use.
The small amount of food is used to harvest the silver that the people earn with all their efforts.
So, if anyone can know the location of the eight major families except for the eight major families, then only Cui Fengnian.
Who would burn the granary for the eight major families to store grain at this critical moment? Only Cui Fengnian, who might have made a detailed work for the enemy country!
Li Tianjiao clenched his fists tightly and said loudly: "Come here! Go and catch Cui Fengnian for me! If you encounter resistance, you will be killed!"
"yes!"
The commander of the Western Liang imperial guards led 500 people to Cui Mansion to capture Cui Fengnian, and the surrounding area of Cui Mansion was blocked. The imperial guards rushed into the door.
The servants of Cui's mansion woke up from their sleep and had not put on their clothes. When they went out, they saw the imperial guards holding a torch rushing into Cui's mansion. They were so scared that they stood there like quails standing there and dared not move.
"Your Majesty has paper, capture Cui Fengnian in detail! Where is Cui Fengnian... hand over the person out quickly!" the commander of the imperial guard shouted loudly.
As the fire swayed, the servant of Cui's mansion bravely stepped forward and whispered: "This master... the young master went to the envoy of the Great Zhou Dynasty last night to attend the banquet, and he has never returned!"
When the Imperial Guard heard this, he was stunned. The Imperial Guard did not dare to go to the envoy of the Great Zhou Dynasty to ask for people, so he could only send someone back to report to the Empress Xiliang to see what should be done about this matter.
After hearing this, Li Tianjiao closed his eyes and sat on the dragon throne for a long time. He could not figure it out before and finally figured it out too.
Cui Fengnian may have been sent by Jin State. She wanted to use the detailed works of the eight major families to divide Xiliang, but she did not expect that the Great Zhou replaced Jin State. Now, after Cui Fengnian made contributions to burn the granary, she went to surrender to the envoy of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
She laughed softly, and the feeling of fatigue was pressing down on her body. She could hardly bear to be crushed. She didn't know what she should do now. If Aye was still there, what would Aye do.
After a while, Li Tianjiao cheered up again and said, "Prepare the car, I will go to see the envoy of the Great Zhou."
Li Tianjiao changed his clothes and quietly left the palace with light clothes and traveled quietly. He decided to meet these two people in person.
·
Last night, I heard that the Empress Dowager Xiliang was seriously ill and might not be able to survive that night. There was an imperial decree to invite the Zhai family, one of the eight major families, to the palace to entrust their funerals. The eight major families were moved and brought their families into the palace one after another. Bai Qingqi and Bai Jintong noticed unusual things.
smell.
Bai Qingqi thought about it over and over again and decided to let Bai Jintong come to him openly. After all, he is now an envoy of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and Cui Fengnian used to be a citizen of Jin, but now a commoner of the Great Zhou Dynasty. It is reasonable for Bai Qingqi to protect Cui Fengnian.
