    In the spring of the seventh year of Zhenguan, when the head of the Wang family in Taiyuan went to the Cui family in Qinghe to discuss the marriage of the two families, an accident occurred. He was directly hit to death by a huge stone at the foot of a mountain outside Qinghe City, causing an uproar.  ¡­The occurrence of this incident also directly led to the war between the Cui family of Qinghe and the Wang family of Taiyuan.  After collecting the remains of the family leader, dozens of guards from the Wang family in Taiyuan left quietly without any hesitation, and rushed back to Taiyuan. After they returned to Taiyuan, the Wang family directly took Qinghe Cui  was listed as the family's number one enemy.  During this year, the situation in the Tang Dynasty became treacherous. The Wang family in Taiyuan organized nearly ten thousand private soldiers and prepared to go to Qinghe with great fanfare, in order to seek justice for the death of the family leader.  This move directly touched the chord in Li Er's heart, making the emperor who was in charge of the artifact of the Tang Dynasty restless. An army of nearly ten thousand people was completely trampling on the dignity of the Tang Empire. As a local powerful  , even the fifth surname Qiwang has absolutely no power to raise so many private soldiers. Is this a rebellion?  So Li Er was furious in the Jinluan Palace and directly ordered a suppression.  "Why are the Wang family so unwise? They actually made such a stupid move? This is simply a blatant provocation. How can the emperor sit still? If you don't show some majesty, the country will not be a country!" A wise man said this  General analysis said that as the king of an empire, his subordinates quietly developed such a huge armed force. This is simply a sign of the country's destruction. Only in troubled times, such a thing will happen. The major families are in charge of their own affairs, and they are all small and small.  A small independent kingdom.  Now, the Tang Dynasty is booming and its prosperity is beginning to show.  When something like this happened, it was like a slap in the emperor's face.  "They are also very angry. You might as well think about it, all this is actually part of the Qinghe Cui family's conspiracy! If the Qinghe Cui family hadn't extended an olive branch first, how could the Taiyuan Wang family come forward like this? And Minato  After going up, the relationship between the two families broke down, and the Qinghe Cui family directly killed the head of the Taiyuan Wang family. No one could bear this tone. If they could endure such humiliation, how could the Taiyuan Wang family have any face?  Will the Tang Dynasty survive?" someone speculated.  "In fact, there is still a shadow of the royal family in it. The original cause of this incident was just that Queen Changsun proposed marriage to the Cui family, asking the Qinghe Cui family to marry their seventh lady to His Highness the King of Chu, as the first of the five surnames and seven hopes.  The Cui family also has their own pride. They have always believed that the royal family is not an authentic Han Dynasty, so this series of events is actually very strange! The royal family knows that the Cui family will never marry their daughter.  To the royal family, they still went to propose marriage, and the Cui family of Qinghe would not directly refuse the royal family, and could only rely on the power of other aristocratic families to shirk the situation. This was exactly what the royal family wanted to see, because at this time, they would go to Qinghe for negotiation.  The other important figures from the aristocratic families were killed directly in Qinghe County, which would completely tear a hole between the aristocratic families and give the royal family an opportunity to take advantage of it! "There are always various reasoning experts in this world, and these people have different abilities.  There are far more information channels than ordinary people, and they also have the status and status to make different voices, and there is an environment where they can speak freely.  Everyone is speculating on what kind of real story is hidden behind these things, so that they can conduct a series of games in the court in exchange for the political capital they need.  So it doesn¡¯t matter if it¡¯s a civil servant.  Or military commanders, all of them were quietly discussing in private the hottest topic in the Tang Dynasty recently.  "Your Majesty has suppressed the Wang family's revenge this time. So hasn't everything returned to the original point? It is still an irreconcilable conflict between the imperial power and the aristocratic family!" "This is different. In the past, the aristocratic families were all in a group. They refused to be solicited by the royal family.  and infiltration, but now the Cui family of Qinghe is ostracized by all the aristocratic family circles. Look at this period of time, not only the Wang family of Taiyuan sent troops to Qinghe, but also other aristocratic families were also cheering for the Wang family. After all,  This is to directly kill the head of the family. Such a thing has never happened. Therefore, the other families are also afraid that such a thing will happen to them. Together they put pressure on the Qinghe Cui family, hoping to find out the mystery. Qinghe Cui  They will never offend another family that is not inferior to their own to death for no reason!" Gradually, these people came to some conclusions that were close to the truth.  It's just that they don't know that all this is actually caused by Li Kuan's misdeeds. As His Royal Highness the King of Chu of the Tang Dynasty, this guy actually appeared quietly in the Cui family in Qinghe, and trampled to death the head of the Wang family in Qinghe. Don't be too brave.  Big!  But the Qinghe Cui family had to swallow this dumb loss, because now the "His Royal Highness the King of Chu" of the Tang Dynasty was strutting all the way to Qinghe County in the wedding procession. This was witnessed by countless people of the Tang Dynasty along the way.  below.  So the Cui family of Qinghe can only lose their teeth and swallow blood. They will not be so stupid to tell the truth, because there is no witness, and their own servants cannot be used as witnesses, and it is most undesirable to reveal the truth of the matter.? method, because this has no effect at all except for the royal family to directly send troops to overthrow the Cui family of Qinghe. Who doesn't know that His Highness the King of Chu is coming to the Cui family of Qinghe in order to marry the seventh lady of the Cui family of Qinghe?  .  This is why there was this negotiation between the Wang family and his son, and then this big thing happened.  The royal family's posture this time was to engage in fair competition. Didn't you see that the wedding team was already halfway there?  Therefore, at this time, the royal family would definitely avoid suspicion and protect Wang and his son before it was too late. How could they make such a foolish move?  Of course, there is also a reason for Li Kuan, because Li Kuan really doesn¡¯t care about anything when he goes crazy. If he can crush the head of the Wang family to death this time, he can also kill the head of the Cui family without mercy next time.  Kill it, his skills are so superb. If you want to prevent this guy's assassination, I'm afraid the Cui family of Qinghe will not sleep in the future, and it may not work.  So I decided to carry it myself, insisting that it was just an accident and that no one could do anything to them.  Because after the Wang family and his son left the Cui family's residence, they walked around Qinghe County several times.  There were not a hundred but eighty people who saw them. These people could prove that the two of them were still in good spirits at that time and were still in the mood to go shopping.  So when they were beaten to death after leaving the city, they could only blame them for their bad luck.  In this way, the situation in the Tang Dynasty became more subtle. Everyone was speculating whether the Tang Dynasty would be in chaos this time. Everyone was speculating on whether the major families would become torn apart and then be divided.  Direct annexation by the royal family.  No one knows how much money is surging underneath this seemingly suppressed situation. The nearly 10,000 private soldiers of the Wang family in Taiyuan were suppressed by the imperial soldiers, and the imperial court used this as an excuse to cover up the situation with lightning speed.  Erzhishi conducted a large-scale investigation on all the major families in the entire Tang Dynasty, and all the hidden weapons of the major families were confiscated by the court.  Under this further intensification, the Datang family also began to rebound. They were used to being emperors in their respective territories. Now, suddenly, most of the armed forces used for self-protection were taken away by the imperial court. This has touched the bottom line of the family.  Although the major families still have hidden deeper power, they are really stretched to their limits.  Because if they want to use these powers in the future, they will no longer be as unscrupulous as they are now.  So a network of secret alliances began to intertwine and connect under the water, and a huge plan began to take shape.  In the southwest of the Tang Dynasty, no one knows how many secrets are hidden in the rolling mountains.  In this era where virgin forests are everywhere, this place is almost a restricted area for ordinary human beings. However, there are still countless people hiding among the mountains. They may be fleeing the war and migrate here as a last resort. There are also  The defeated armies in the battle for the world fled here. These people gradually formed tribes here and fought an arduous battle for survival.  In this area where the rule of the Tang Dynasty was marginalized, a powerful force gradually formed, and these people were also very dissatisfied and resentful of the rule of the imperial court. Here, the various tribes were hostile and hostile to each other.  Even more hostile to the imperial court.  And this gave those suppressed aristocratic families who were extremely resentful an opportunity, a buffer zone where they could sit down and discuss the distribution of all interests that could not be tolerated in the court.  In this spring, people from almost all suppressed aristocratic families came here to discuss the confrontation between the aristocratic families and the imperial court, whether to compromise or to fight to the end, to compromise or to fight.  Everyone is furious with each other, and everyone is constantly testing each other's bottom line.  The people sent by each family are people with extraordinary intelligence, and they are all old foxes with curved eyebrows.  After constant negotiations, constant compromises and temptations, a huge plan was finally formed under their planning. They felt that the current court was no longer suitable for the survival of their families, so the man sitting in the court holding the  The monkey with the stick is no longer suitable to sit there.  All the representatives of the aristocratic families have reached a consensus on this point, and unanimously decided to change someone who can meet their needs. They also decided that when the four barbarians surrender, they must make their own voices heard and fight for their own interests.  Let the monkey sitting at the top of this tree of power, eating the most delicious fruits, know that the smiling face he sees when he lowers his head is actually just to give him face, not that the stick in his hand makes the monkey below feel  fear.  The undercurrent was surging, and Li Er was also troubled by it. His sensitive political sense let him know that under all these seemingly calm situations, there were hidden dangers. When the coming storm came, Datang had hundreds of thousands of troops, but compared to  For the entire huge empire, it is absolutely impossible to defend every place. This is the fatal weakness of the Tang Dynasty, and this is also a weakness that has no room for redemption, because it does not have such a strong national power to support enough armies.  There are not that many soldiers to prepare for possible rebellions in various places.  The Tang Dynasty has only been stable for a few years now.???The population decline in such a short period of time is an absolute shortcoming.  Therefore, if the people are recruited to join the army excessively, it will definitely shake the country's foundation, but if it does not expand the army, it will be impossible to cope with it. Li Er is worried about this.  The Tang Dynasty was about to fall apart at this time. It was definitely a change that Li Kuan could not imagine, and it was also something that no one could predict. The Tang Dynasty was in the biggest crisis.  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature. The novels will be better and updated faster!
