Chapter 988
Chapter One Hundred and Zero
The dust cleared up, and smoke billowed from the original location of the Taiyuan Wang's Ancestral Hall in Qixian County.The family members of the Wang family who survived by chance were trembling in the dust with their heads in their arms. Located on the East Side Hall at the center of the explosion, a large deep pit with a diameter of more than three feet and a diameter of more than twenty feet appeared. Corpses, they didn't have the slightest scar on their bodies, but the tragic scene of bleeding from all seven orifices made this place look like hell on earth.

Of course, this is the masterpiece of Shockwave.

Shockwaves don't just kill, sound waves kill too.Taiyuan Wang's hundreds of dead men who were in charge of the safety of the East Side Hall were a hundred steps away from the East Side Hall. They also had no scars on their bodies, but their ear holes were continuously bleeding out, and all of them had dark eyes. deep fear.

Almost all members of the Wang family who saw this scene were worshiping. This is the punishment that can only be brought down by a real god. For a while, people begging for mercy from the heavens and blessings from gods and Buddhas filled the entire Wang family mansion in Taiyuan.

As the head of the world's aristocratic family, Qi County is probably the most educated place in the world, even the capital Chang'an is three points inferior.But at this moment, no one doubted that this was a premeditated murder, they concluded it as the wrath of the heavens.

After all, the detonation power of six hundred catties of gunpowder is too great.Especially the pair of stone lions in front of the gate of Dongpei Hall. The pair of stone lions weighed ten thousand catties. As a result, one stone lion was cut off by a huge force. The body of the lion was only a hundred steps away, and it weighed more than two thousand The stone lion's head that weighed [-] jin flew one mile away.The flying stone fell as far as two miles away, the huge beams and pillars were cut off in the middle, and half of the cornices were erected on the ancient cypress more than [-] steps away from the animal head, especially the bronze tripod of Yimen. , It was twisted into twists, and half of the foot of the copper tripod was bitten off. One can imagine what kind of heavy blow it suffered at that time.

This cannot be achieved by manpower. This is a natural disaster or punishment.

Although the resulting wealth is secondary, the most important thing is that the venue for this crucial decision not only has the Li family of Zhaojun, the Li family of Longyou, the Wang family of Taiyuan, the Wen family of Taiyuan, the Lu family of Fanyang, the Cui family of Qinghe, the Boling family Representatives of dozens of families in the world, including the Cui family and the Xingyang Zheng family.

A total of 73 people were killed and more than 390 were injured among the [-] elders of the Taiyuan Wang family and [-] representatives of various clans, including guards and stewards.

The reputation of the Taiyuan Wang family inevitably fell into a trough in an instant.

Hatred of the rich and officials is a common historical and cultural phenomenon in Chinese history. Fan Bingbing was fined more than [-] million yuan, just like the Kunshan anti-murder case, which caused another Internet carnival.Fewer people clapped their hands and cheered, and more people expressed their unacceptability to the punishment of the rich spending money to eliminate disasters.

In any case this is tradition, undisputed.In fact, the world is not fair in the first place. The Taiyuan Wang family became the head of the world and the world's richest family, which is the result of the continuous hard work of the Wang family's ancestors.Once future generations do not work hard, they will also be trampled down.The most famous one is the Xie family of Chenjun in the Southern Dynasty.

Wang Xie was very famous for a while, especially Xie An led his nephew Xie Xuan, son Xie Yan, and younger brother Xie Shi to win the battle of Feishui, which made the Xie family the head of the family in the Southern Dynasty. There is a fault, and it is definitely not like Xie Kun, Xie Shang, Xie Yi, Xie An, Xie Shi, Xie Xuan, and Xie Yan at the beginning of the rise of the Xie family.

However, no truth emerged.The people of Qi County began to make up countless versions by themselves.

"What evil did the Wang family of Taiyuan do to bring drought and thunder into the world?"

"You don't know that, do you? The Taiyuan Wang family only had 30 hectares of fertile land in Hedong in the tenth year of the great cause. How many years have passed now, and their fertile land has more than doubled, down to [-] hectares."

"This is a fart. The imperial court pays [-]% of the tax and rents the land of the Wang family in Taiyuan, and you have to pay [-]% of the rent!"

Ordinary people's cognition has always been limited, and they go over and over again about lending usury, hoarding exotic goods, and the like.However, at the critical moment, the man who made up the sword came.

Since the imperial court was in turmoil, Li Anyan, the general of the Zuojian Gatekeeper, has spread the ministries of the Zuojian Gateguard all over the world to scout for news.

When the ancestral hall of Wang's family in Taiyuan was suddenly hit by drought and thunder, they found that although the people around them were dissatisfied, they didn't talk about the right point. He opened his mouth and said, "Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, I understand now!"

The Taoist priest's voice was not low, and the people around who were not afraid of big things asked, "Xianchang, what do you understand?"

The Taoist made his handprints and said: "Pindao has traveled south and north for more than [-] years, and has never encountered such a strange thing. A big fireball fell from the sky and fell into the Wang's ancestral hall..."

The words of the Taoist priest attracted the surrounding people to gather together curiously.

Looking at the expectant eyes of the crowd, the Taoist pointed to the sky and said, "It is said that the people inside angered the heavens!"

"Hey...it's nothing to say!"

However, when these words fell into the ears of the direct descendants of the Wang family, they understood something instead.Naturally, Mrs. Wang has never done anything outrageous, at least she doesn't bother to do things like forcing other people's families to die, not to mention that every powerful family will buy people's hearts, such as doing good things in peacetime, building bridges and paving roads, etc. But, they really The catastrophe was caused because Li Jiancheng wanted to rebuild the "Clan History".

Son of Heaven, known as the Son of Heaven.However, whether it is true or not, scholars like them all know that this is simply nonsense.

However, there are certain undeniable.

The Wang family suffered a catastrophe.

……

In the Ganlu Hall of Taiji Palace in Chang'an City, Li Jiancheng looked at the starry sky outside the window with his hands behind his back, feeling extremely depressed.

In June of the fourth year of Kaiyuan, Jingzhou (Jingzhou was established in the first year of Wude, under the jurisdiction of Qinghua, Diping, and Damou counties. In the second year of Zhenguan (628), Jiachuan County of Lizhou was also cut off from it.) encountered heavy rain, Li Jiancheng ordered Jingzhou Li Zihe, the general manager, led his troops to help the victims.

However, [-] shi of disaster relief food was distributed.

Two months later, the provocateurs and the Han people rebelled.Li Zihe led an army to suppress it. After a month of fighting, the thirteen big and small barbarians and masters were all arrested and executed after autumn.

However, with the in-depth investigation of the guards of the left prison, it was discovered that Wang Shizhong, the governor of Jingzhou, had the audacity to resell more than [-] shi of the [-] shi relief food, making a total profit of more than [-] guan.

Although Wang Shizhong was brought to justice in the end, Li Jiancheng ordered Shi Wen Boya, the censor, and Li Wei, the clerk, to conduct a Beijing inspection in advance. The so-called Beijing inspection is to assess the ability and performance of officials. The results of this investigation shocked Li Jiancheng even more. , After investigating one-third of the governors and one-half of the chief executives in Datang, five or six hundred officials turned out that most of their buttocks were not clean.

This situation gave Li Jiancheng a headache.

In the seventh year of Wude, after the Xuanwumen Incident, Li Jiancheng came to power.With the help of Wei Zheng and Fang Xuanling, the layoffs of more than 3000 officials in the Tang Dynasty were laid off, and two-thirds of them were laid off.

This is the sequelae left after Fang Xuanling and Wei Zheng dismissed the officials.Because there are fewer officials, there is a lack of supervision mechanism, and with the expansion of Datang's territory, more than 100 states and more than 540 counties have been added, which requires a full thousand officials.

Li Jiancheng was dissatisfied with the family officials' obedience and insubordination, so he adopted the method of recruiting talents, but it caused a series of sequelae.The relationship between the imperial court and the aristocratic family is getting worse and worse.

Li Jiancheng felt that he was really aggrieved as the emperor.

Suddenly, Li Jiancheng remembered a poem written by Chen Ying before: "If life is only as it was first seen, what is the autumn wind and the sad painting fan. Waiting for leisure to change the old man's heart, but the old man's heart is changeable..."

Everyone has changed, even Webster, who has always supported him, has changed. Although Wei Ting has no major problems, Wei Ting's brother Fangzhou Governor Wei Cai, and his nephew Dianjun joined the army Wei Hongbiao have all been corrupted.

Li Jiancheng really wanted to get rid of all the current corrupt officials. He had the martial arts to destroy the Turks. Li Jiancheng didn't worry about the rebellion of the family clan, but he had no one to use except the clan clan.

Just when Li Jiancheng had a splitting headache, Li Anyan, the general of the Zuojian gate guard, knocked lightly on the door.

Li Jiancheng turned around and said, "Come in!"

Li Anyan held a memorial and said: "Your Majesty, something has happened!"

Immediately, Li Anyan handed the memorial to Li Jiancheng.Li Jiancheng started reading.

"Chen Shucheng County Marquis, Taiyuan Yin Zhenghua heard that the ancestral hall of Wang's family in Taiyuan, Qimen was hit by drought, thunder and fire, and the ancestral hall was razed to the ground..."

When Li Jiancheng saw this, he suddenly remembered in his head that when the Xuanwu Gate was changed in the seventh year of Wude, Chen Ying took two soldiers to the south office of Taiji Palace. He is a general guarding the palace of the Qin Dynasty.

Could it be that this matter has something to do with Chen Ying?

Thinking of this, Li Jiancheng quickly picked up his pen and said, "Master Wang is a sinner, the heavens are furious, thunder and fire are sent down, and Mrs. Wang is ordered to conduct self-examination!"

Li Jiancheng is not stupid, he will definitely not give up this opportunity to attract Wang to the "god". Anyway, Li Jiancheng set the tone, and some people lied for Li Jiancheng.

……

Chen Ying was naturally unaware of these things, and it was right to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger.However, once a pig pretends to be a pig for a long time, it is easy to become a pig.

Although Chen Ying left behind his illustrious military exploits and reputation as a child who stopped weeping in foreign wars, Chen Ying was a harmless mascot to Datang internally.

That's why some foxes and dogs grinned at Chen Ying.

Obviously, Chen Ying was really angry.

As the saying goes, when a man is angry, blood will splash five steps, when the emperor is angry, millions of corpses will be laid down.Chen Ying is not the son of heaven, but when he is angry, it means that the Taiyuan Wang family's bones are almost broken.

When He Yue'er learned that the Taiyuan Wang's ancestral hall was razed to the ground, she looked at Chen Ying in amazement and said, "Is this too cruel? Although those old thieves deserve to die, there are still many good people in the Wang family and the Shandong family! "

Chen Ying shrugged and said with a disapproving smile: "Is there any good meat eater? I really thought that all meat eaters are giant pandas!"

Although He Yue'er didn't know whether the giant panda was a bear or a cat, she understood what Chen Ying meant.

Of course, she only felt a little cruel for a moment, and the biggest thing was the fear of this thunderstorm.Anyway, Mrs. Wang committed suicide by herself, so she can't blame others.

Chen Yingdao: "If a tiger doesn't show its power, treat me like a sick cat!"

Chen Ying was very unhappy that some people were plotting against Chen Ying.

Being in the snowy plain and unable to return to Chang'an for the time being, Chen Ying was not in a hurry to find some fun for those aristocratic families.

Chen Ying vaguely remembered that when he read Li Taibai's resume, after knowing that Li Bai was a prisoner, then the problem came. Now that the Anxi Duhu Mansion has a large area and few people, and the people are relocated, and the people are unwilling to leave their hometowns, then the prisoner can be dispatched. Go to Anxi and use it to garrison the border.

Thinking of this, Chen Ying immediately wrote to Li Jiancheng.

PS: I'm very sorry, I was so tired yesterday that I fell asleep halfway through writing.Lao Cheng also wants to write online articles full-time, but the subscription is too low. Of course, no one else is to blame for this, Lao Cheng is really unhappy when he writes.
