The Tianxia family thought they could get a satisfactory explanation, but they never expected that what they got was an imperial edict.
An edict prohibiting aristocratic families or individuals from having retainers or private soldiers.
As soon as this order came out.
The world is in an uproar!
All the aristocratic families could not sit still.
They protested and opposed this edict in various ways.
petition, march, strike, plead
All useless.
Fang Mu remained unmoved at all.
Then.
The world fell silent for a moment.
Sudden.
Large-scale civil unrest broke out!
It was as if all parts of the world had been negotiated, and civil unrest broke out at the same time.
Chaos swept the world again.
Public dissatisfaction arose.
Among the common people, there were countless voices cursing the Dawn Legion, Ouyang Xiyi, and even Fang Mu.
the moment before.
The Legion of Dawn is still the army of justice that brings order to chaos.
The next moment.
The Legion of Dawn became the source of turmoil in the cholera world.
Not long ago.
Just a moment ago, Fang Mu was praising his virtues, saying that he was a famous official of a generation of wise kings, but in the next moment, he was said to be the most cruel and foolish king in history.
Public opinion is boiling.
The turbulent waves are like waves, one after another impacting the originally stable rule.
Although this was not an uprising of rebels, the disaster it caused was no worse, or even worse.
This is one of the strengths of the family.
public opinion.
However, they don't usually call it that.
They call it public opinion.
Their family controls the public opinion of the world!
No matter how strong your Dawn Legion is, can you still be stronger than the people of the world?
As long as you, Fang Mu, still want the world to be stable, you must bow to their family!
Because they control the public opinion of the world.
We are the public opinion!
Many heads of aristocratic families are very proud.
No dynasty can resist the alliance of the world's noble families.
The royal family, to put it bluntly, isn't it also a powerful family?
How does one aristocratic family want to fight against all the aristocratic families in the world?
hehe!
Just act according to the rules of their family!
But what happened next was not what the aristocratic families thought.
The Legion of Dawn is dispatched.
really.
No matter how strong the Dawn Legion is, it cannot possibly defeat the people of the world.
But the Dawn Legion can deal with the noble family.
The cold butcher's knife struck at the family behind the "public opinion".
One by one, aristocratic families were uprooted.
Blood flow floats.
Heads are rolling.
Many people were beheaded with a knife while still wearing proud smiles on their faces.
They couldn't understand why such a thing happened?
Coerce public opinion and intimidate the emperor.
How could this winning trick passed down from their ancestors become useless?
You have already won the world, shouldn't you care about your reputation?
They can't understand.
But the Dawn Legion didn't give them time to figure it out.
The massacre continues.
No matter how many famous scholars came out to criticize and abuse, it would have no effect, and some of them were even in the process of being purged.
Fang Mu didn't seem to care at all about what kind of reputation he would get in the history books of later generations.
The aristocratic families were frightened.
They are not willing to fail.
In the name of 'Fang Mu Wudao', large armies were formally formed to resist the tyranny of Dawn!
Even within the Dawn Legion, there were many rebellions.
Among the children of aristocratic families in the Legion of Dawn, many people choose their family between family and country.
Most of the children of these aristocratic families were the middle and high-level managers of the Dawn Legion. Their rebellion swept nearly half of the Dawn Legion almost instantly.
Rebels are everywhere in the world outside, and half the army is rebelling internally.
The originally extremely powerful Dawn Legion seemed to be on the verge of disintegrating in an instant.
Jiangnan.
Under the leadership of the Zhang family, the Jiangnan nobles formed a massive resistance army, numbering as many as 300,000, and even Ouyang Xiyi was beaten out by them.
A short time.
Most of Jiangnan fell into their hands.
They were full of momentum, and in the name of "Fang Mu has no way" and revenge for the Shen family, they marched forward with great success.
There was a vague feeling that was sweeping the world.
Lingnan Song clan.
meeting hall.
"Brother, make a decision quickly!"
Song Zhi looked anxious.
"This is a rare opportunity! With the strength of our Song clan, as long as we send troops, we can capture half of the south in a short time. This world may not be able to fall into our hands!"
He looked at Song Que, who still looked calm, and couldn't help but say again.
"Brother, have you forgotten that we are also an aristocratic family! If we really follow Fang Mu's edict, will I, the Song clan, still be the current Song clan?"
As soon as this statement came out.
Others present could not sit still.
"Yes, we are one of the four powerful clans. Without retainers and private soldiers, how can we guarantee our status?"
"Fang Mu has gone too far! We, the Song clan, fought for him through life and death. How many good sons of the Song family died when we beat Ren Shaoming? Now that the world is about to be unified, he actually crossed the river and burned down the bridge!"
"Fang Mu is not a good man!"
There were a lot of voices and discussions in the conference hall. They were all against Fang Mu, and no one supported Fang Mu.
"alright!"
Song Que spoke.
Everyone fell silent instantly and turned their attention to Song Que.
They thought Song Que would give an answer.
But Song Que turned his head and looked at Song Shidao, who had his head lowered from beginning to end.
"Shidao, what do you think?"
"ah?"
Song Shidao raised his head helplessly.
"I, I"
“Just tell me if you have any ideas!”
"yes!"
Song Shidao took a deep breath, and the gazes around him made him a little nervous.
"I think we should wait and see what happens at this time!"
"Oh? Why?"
Song Que's expression did not change, and his tone was still unpredictable.
"I, I can't think of anything, but my intuition tells me that Fang Mu probably has other means!"
"Um."
Song Que responded.
Without commenting, he turned to look at Song Lu again.
When the crowd was excited and they were discussing how bad Fang Mu and the Shuguang Legion were, apart from Song Shidao, he was the only one who didn't say a word.
Song Lu looked at Song Que's eyes and immediately spoke.
"Brother, my advice is the same as the teacher's, just wait and see what happens!"
Song Duo nodded.
"Pass the order, from today onwards, the children of the Song family are not allowed to step out of the Song family's mountain city!"
"Brother!"
"I've made up my mind!"
The Yuwen clan, once one of the four great clans in the world, was destroyed. Although the Li clan was not extinct, it still existed in name only.
Only the Song clan and the Dugu clan are left.
These two great clans still retain most of their strength because they chose to surrender.
At this time of great change in the world, the Song clan chose to wait and see.
However, under the leadership of Dugu Feng, the Dugu Clan chose another path.
