Chapter 518 518 Turn your hand into clouds, turn your hand into rain
The news that the imperial army surrounded the Feng family and took Feng Ning away spread throughout the elite circles in Beijing immediately. Some people sighed, some were afraid, and some were gloating about the misfortune.
"The Emperor has finally done something to the four great families. Alas... I don't know if it is a blessing or a curse." The three generals sighed. As people who were also suppressed by the Emperor, they could not help but feel a little empathetic when they saw the situation of the Feng family.
.
The ones who are frightened are the Qi family and the Xiao family, who are both from the four major aristocratic families.
"Have you finally taken action against the four major families? The emperor is really too impatient." The Qi family may have known about the royal family's suppression of the four major families earlier than the Xiao family.
When Feng Qi was born, both the head of the Feng family and the head of the Qi family died. If there was no handwriting from the imperial court, the head of the Qi family would not believe it.
Although he didn't find any evidence, after this incident, the one who benefited the most was the royal family.
Based on the principle that whoever benefits is likely to be the mastermind, the emperor may have intervened even if he was not the mastermind.
"If something happens to the Feng family, it will be us next." The head of the Xiao family couldn't help but sigh, his old face looked indescribably tired.
In recent years, because the Xiao family has become close to the Prince of Yanbei, they have been closely watched by the emperor. Whatever they do will be made difficult by the court. For this reason, the power of the Xiao family in the capital has been greatly reduced, especially when the former Prince of Yanbei
When he was poisoned, everything in the Xiao family went even worse.
After finally getting over it, the emperor began to take action against the four major families again, really trying to force people to a dead end.
Contrary to the reactions of the Qi family and the Xiao family, the Wang family, which is also one of the four major aristocratic families, was overjoyed when they learned about the Feng family: "Great, the emperor finally took action against the aristocratic family, so that our Wang family can win over more people."
With more power, the master will definitely be very satisfied."
"What father said is that if nothing else, the Feng family will definitely be dissatisfied with the imperial court. Then we will have another ally." The eldest young master of the Wang family said with a happy face.
"Send people to the Feng family. We must not let the Feng family feel cold at this time. We must win over the Feng family no matter what." The Wang family said eagerly.
The eldest young master of the Wang family volunteered: "Father is wise, I will never let my cousin's sacrifice go to waste when I go to the Feng family."
The four great aristocratic families were united in the early years, but now they have their own plans. The Feng and Qi families have already turned against each other, the Xiao family has turned to the Yanbei Palace, and the Wang family has also found a way out early, with little calculations in their minds.
…
In addition to the four major aristocratic families, there are many major families in the capital. In terms of power, they are only one step behind the four major aristocratic families. The reason why they cannot take this step forward is not because they are incompetent, but because Tianqi is so big. The four behemoths of the four major aristocratic families
The interests have been divided up long ago, and no matter how powerful other families are, they can't squeeze in.
A carrot and a pit, Apocalypse is only so big, and there are only so many forces that can be divided among them. If the four major families don't fall, they will never be able to go further. Now seeing the emperor taking action against the Feng family, the big families in Beijing don't know
How happy.
"I finally waited until the emperor took action against the aristocratic family. If I can see the aristocratic family fall in my lifetime, I will die without any regrets."
"Boss, you have to be careful during this period. The emperor's attack on the aristocratic family is our chance to take the lead. As long as we listen carefully to the emperor's words, our Wu family will not be able to become a aristocratic family."
…
In addition to the big forces in the capital, the four major wealthy families in the south are even more excited. They have cooperated with the royal family for a long time. After these years of testing, they have a certain degree of trust in each other. Now that they see the emperor taking action against the family, they
They felt that their opportunity had come, especially the Yun family, who seemed to see themselves breaking away from the label of businessmen and successfully being promoted to a famous family.
The emperor only gave the Feng family a beating, but his strength and determination were revealed, causing the entire capital to be in turmoil. All the major forces were ready to take action, but ordinary people didn't know it.
Xiao Shaorong received the news and rushed to see Xiao Jiuan overnight: "Your Majesty, what does the emperor mean by doing this? Are you really going to take action against the four major families?" If so, the Xiao family must make arrangements in advance.
They are not as good as the Feng, Qi, and Wang families. The Xiao family has a backer. If the emperor takes action against the four major families, they will move their families to Yanbei. Although it will be more difficult and the power they used to manage before leaving will be lost, it is still better than genocide.
Strong.
According to Xiao Shaorong's understanding of the emperor, if the emperor takes action against the four major aristocratic families, he will never give the four major aristocratic families a chance to revive.
"When did the Emperor stop taking action?" Xiao Jiuan asked with a sneer.
Didn't the Xiao family let Xiao Shaorong fall to him just because they discovered the signs?
Of course, he didn't mind if the Xiao family turned against him purposefully. He would only become suspicious if they really turned against him for no reason.
"But the emperor has always been very gentle before. This time, what happened is too sudden. The emperor completely ignores the face of the family. I'm afraid he will never care about the family again in the future." Xiao Shaorong thought that the emperor would continue to use gentle methods to slowly disintegrate the four families.
As a big family, let them have time to find a way out and break them into pieces.
"Sooner or later there will be such a day, what difference does it make if it is sooner or later?" Didn't Xiao Shaorong know this?
Moreover, since the Yun family has come to Beijing, can't they still express the emperor's attitude?
"I..." Xiao Shaorong was speechless for a moment. He could tell Xiao Jiu'an that he had always been lucky before leaving. He always thought that the emperor would not dare to touch the four major families. Who knew that the emperor would hold on to Feng Ning's matter.
"My lord, you did what happened to Feng Ning on purpose. You..." Xiao Shaorong didn't say the next words. He just felt that the emperor had to seize the Feng family's handle to tear open the defense lines of the four major families, and this hole happened to be sent by Xiao Jiu'an.
into the hands of the emperor.
Is this all arranged by Xiao Jiuan?
"So what if it is? So what if it's not?" Xiao Jiu'an asked with a sneer, looking at Xiao Shaorong with a dark and unclear look.
He always thought that after getting along with him for so many years, Xiao Shaorong should have understood what kind of person he was. Isn't it too stupid to ask such a question now?
"Your Majesty, why?" Xiao Shaorong knew that their prince did it on purpose, deliberately letting the emperor tear apart the family's defense and let the emperor take action against the family.
"Sooner or later, I just pushed him, do you need a reason?" If he really wants to find a reason, that is, if the emperor doesn't take action against the family, he should take action against him, and he doesn't want to fall out with the emperor yet, at least
When he didn't have enough ability to compete with Beichen, he didn't want to fall out with the emperor.
In the past, he didn't care about status or power because he was only one person. But it's different now. He has a family, a wife, and children in the future. He needs to think about himself.
Now, he still needs the identity of Tianqi Yanbei King, and he also needs to use this identity to accumulate power, and accumulate enough power to compete with Beichen, and even with Tianqi.
Otherwise, when one day his life experience is exposed, he will not have enough strength to protect himself and his family behind him, and he, his wife and children will become the flesh of others.
And this is something he cannot accept. He, Xiao Jiuan, will never let his wife and children live a homeless and precarious life...
