The heavens begin with the Dharma of absorbing power.

Chapter 797: An aristocratic family was wiped out, and the troops were directed towards Qingxia

Nearly nine hundred years ago, during the Conghua period of the Tang Dynasty, the relationship between Qinghe County and Chang'an underwent drastic changes. The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty was still young, and his mother, who came from the Qinghe Song surname, tried to violate the late emperor's edict and let The uncle and chief assistant of the Song Dynasty, a great scholar and leader of the army.

The young emperor at that time used his natural military power to wash away everything. He also went to the academy in person to get the support of his master.

Anyway, the next day, following a decree, the Queen Mother, who thought she was more ambitious than all the queens born in Qinghe County, was imprisoned in the cold palace. From then on, no one saw her again.

After this incident, the power of Qinghe County was severely damaged in the court, and the strength of the seven major surnames was seriously damaged.

In the years that followed, those proud and confident clans finally understood a truth.

They, the Li royal family, and the academy may not be on the same page after all.

Therefore, on the surface, the various clans in Qinghe County are still surrendering, but secretly they are accumulating power and no longer send their true information to Chang'an. They are just dormant in Qinghe County, silently waiting for opportunities.

On this day in Qinghe County, on the banks of the Fuchun River, strong men from various surnames in Qinghe, headed by Ruyang Cui, gathered.

The Ruyang Cui family originated from Ruyang Prefecture and were an extremely discerning family.

Thousands of years ago, at the beginning of the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the Cui family, regardless of the opposition of other clans, resolutely supported Chang'an City and agreed to the annexation of Qinghe County to the Tang Dynasty.

Under the deliberate suppression of the Li royal family and civil and military officials, officials from various surnames in Qinghe County were able to become the first civil servants. This was the first time in the past three hundred years. Based on this alone, one can imagine What an important person this old lady Cui is.

"It's just a pity for those disciples of the clan who are still in Chang'an. But if we can restore our country, it will all be worth it."

Today, the Cui clan is still powerful and unattainable. Grandpa Cui, who is about to celebrate his 100th year, once served as prime minister.

"In the past hundred years, our queen from Qinghe County has no longer been in the palace of Chang'an City."

Thousands of years ago, the Taizu of the Tang Dynasty rose up from the shores of Weisi and established a huge territory in the world of Haotian. At that time, in order to survive, they took refuge with the Taizu of the Tang Dynasty and saved themselves. Now that the Master has ascended to heaven and conquered the Tang Dynasty, they saw the opportunity to regain their glory.

In addition, what is even more awe-inspiring is that Cui also contributed two great priests to the Xiling Temple.

Mr. Cui came to the riverside under the protection of the cultivators of the clan. Looking at the burning Fuchun River and the red-dyed river water, he looked at several old people with the same white hair and said: "Now, it is time. Let them understand that our surnames in Qinghe County are not their dogs, and they should respect us. "

"Three of my Qinghe brothers went to Chang'an and died inexplicably. The academy and the court didn't have any explanation, because we Qinghe are not worthy of their respect."

In the subsequent history, the Cui family contributed a total of five queens to the Tang Dynasty.

Another old man sneered: "The Tang Kingdom's generals stationed in Qinghe County, as well as the generals in the county who were loyal to the Tang Kingdom, have all been poisoned. Although there is some resistance, it doesn't matter. When the Temple Alliance Army arrives in Qinghe County, the overall situation will be decided."

"Now we are waiting for the Xiling Temple army to arrive. With our guidance, we can quickly cross the Qingxia Gorge and secure Chang'an in one battle."

This is what another old man said.

Among the surnames in Qinghe, some of their ancestors were once the masters of a country, and they naturally wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to restore the country.

While these people were talking, the army of the Xiling Divine Cult, led by the priests of the Judgment Temple, descended on Qinghe County.

Then another cleanup began. "According to the decree of the God of Judgment, Qinghe County is cleansed of injustice and rebellion, and all clans and clans are killed..."

Xu Xin had never had a good impression of aristocratic families. The nationwide attack on the Tang Dynasty began in Qinghe County. After the Xiling army entered Qinghe County, the various families in Qinghe County had basically no effect. However, they still dared to ask for a lot.

Xiling got benefits, but didn't want to pay too much. Naturally, we have to cross the river and demolish the bridge to clean up these "remnants of the Demon Sect".

The history of the clans in Qinghe County is very long, but for the clans who betrayed the temple and took refuge in the Tang Kingdom a thousand years ago, and now betrayed the Tang Kingdom and joined the temple, neither Xu Xin, Guanzhu, nor Xiong Chumo believed in their loyalty, so they could The simplest method is once and for all.

The sky was full of blood and fire, and the fallen old man Cui was still breathing. He looked at the temple judgment knights who kept killing his own people, and shouted unwillingly: "Why is this? What is the reason for this? We are loyal to the temple, why is the temple Do this to us."

"Old man, it is recorded in the classics from thousands of years ago that you betrayed the temple and slaughtered a large number of temple priests in order to join the Tang Dynasty. Now, things have just changed. Your Cui family must be exterminated..."

A commander of the divine guards stepped forward to speak and chopped off the head of Mr. Cui with a knife. This old Mr. Cui, who had such a great reputation in the Tang Dynasty, died on the banks of the Fuchun River and never closed his eyes.

What happened on the banks of the Fuchun River also happened everywhere in Qinghe County. Many leaders of various surnames who were chatting and laughing with the temple priests were purified by Haotian's divine brilliance after showing horrified looks.

The speed of the Xiling Shrine Guard Cavalry's attack was not inferior to the speed with which the nobles of Qinghe County massacred Tang officials that day.

After hundreds of houses and their treasures were evacuated by the temple, elegant manors were burned to the ground, and flames shot up into the sky across Qinghe County.

In just half a day, Qinghe County, which is full of sacred places, was in flames everywhere.

Of course, it was only the clans and clans that were unlucky. The people at the lowest level quickly supported the temple after receiving some benefits.

A few days later, the main army of the Xiling Temple arrived on the Daze waterfront one after another on the warships of the Southern Jin Navy.

The warships of the Tang Navy were moored on the shore without any movement. On several warships, faint traces of fire could be seen, and the largest handsome ship had sunk to the bottom of the water.

The people of Qinghe County welcomed these invaders with complicated expressions.

The military discipline of the Xiling Temple Army was much better than the people of Qinghe County imagined. Even those soldiers of the Southern Jin Dynasty who had a grudge against Qinghe County did not look sideways when walking on the street.

A divine chariot and several luxurious carriages were at the rear of the temple army.

Xu Xin, the great adjudicator, was the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces, and among those luxurious carriages were important figures from Yuelun, Southern Jin, Yan, Song and other countries.

Liu Bai, the strongest swordsman in the world, was in one of the carriages. Xu Xin did not meet him in person, but the two of them had a tacit understanding of each other.

The army of Xiling Temple did not stay in Qinghe County for any longer.

The horses of the cavalry tramped on the quiet bluestone road, crossed the exquisite stone bridge, passed through the houses with white walls and black eaves, and headed north in a mighty way, finally arriving at the outskirts of the famous Qingxia Gorge with mountains.

As long as you cross the Qingxia Gorge, Chang'an of the Tang Dynasty will really face danger.
