The legitimate daughter was reborn, and the emperor’s little Jiaojiao went crazy.

Chapter 1007 The Blood Feud of the Four Great Families

Long Jiang was released from prison. He was furious and felt extremely helpless.

The damn noble family is living a good life and instead instigating the emperor to kidnap the emperor's woman. What the hell is this?

Wei Xingzhou, who had returned to Beijing secretly from Liang State, accompanied him to drink, "Boss, don't think about those useless things. The next step is to do it and wait for the order from the emperor!"

Long Jiang took a sip of wine, feeling worried, "Damn it, it would be embarrassing if this gets out!"

Wei Xingzhou wanted to laugh and say "Don't worry, it won't get out", but the corners of his mouth twitched and he didn't laugh in the end.

This incident will always be a stain that can never be erased. If it happened to him, he would also be depressed.

Long Jiang drank his wine while listening to his subordinates hurriedly report: "Boss, according to your instructions, the news that four people died in the Six Gods Temple has spread."

He nodded, waved his hand and asked everyone to leave, raised his head and took a deep breath, his voice was low and fierce, "I can't sleep well, and those people can't close their eyes either!"

Wei Xingzhou tapped the table with his knuckles, thinking, "The four great families have always been cautious, and even avoided the 'Clear Dust Plan'. Why are they taking risks now?"

Long Jiang raised his eyes and sneered, "These people are the best at judging the situation. No one could have imagined that Princess Haiyan and her husband would suddenly appear and force the emperor to confront the Empress Dowager Jiqing." He paused and said in a sly tone, "Oh, no! You could have expected that. After all, you are the husband's man."

Wei Xingzhou grinned and told the truth, "How could I have that ability? I'm just an errand boy. How could I know everything about the court?" He took a sip of wine, his eyes shining, "But to be honest, the prince consort and the princess are simply invincible when they join forces. Hey, it's really exciting to work with that couple!"

Long Jiang put down his wine glass heavily, and the wine splashed on the rough table. "Ha! Back then, the Northern Wing was weak, and other countries looked down on us. Even an envoy had to look at other people's faces when delivering a letter of credence!" He wiped the wine foam from his beard, and his eyes flashed. "Who would have thought that the prince consort led a group of young boys and turned the Wan Kingdom upside down! It's so satisfying!"

After swallowing the wine, it no longer felt bitter as before, but instead a refreshing feeling burned up my throat.

He knocked the wine bowl on the table, and the bottom of the bowl made a crisp sound. "Which of those noble families back then didn't sit there with their hands behind their backs and watch the joke?" He sneered and drew a circle on the table with his finger dipped in the wine. "As a result, the people promoted by the princess and the prince consort have become pillars of the court. By the time they came to their senses, the children of the noble families had already been squeezed out to the sidelines."

Wei Xingzhou nodded, "Yes, that's the truth."

Long Jiang counted on his fingers, "Those who make minor mistakes are directly dismissed, and those who are mediocre and incompetent are transferred to other places. In the seven ministries and nine officials nowadays, in any important position, can you see any trace of aristocratic families?"

After hearing this, Wei Xingzhou immediately understood. The aristocratic families no longer had a say in the court, so they would definitely make trouble, right?

No matter how much you jump around, you can't touch the woman of the emperor! You are courting death!

Long Jiang pointed to the sky, leaned in and whispered, "That person, after sitting on that chair, left the harem vacant, waiting to welcome the princess as the queen. If the princess's mother married the emperor, what would the historians write about it in the future?"

Wei Xingzhou thought to himself, "Damn it, the prince consort isn't even dead yet and you're already thinking about his wife", but he couldn't say this to Long Jiang.

Few people knew that the prince consort was alive, and he was one of the people who knew about it, so he was a little proud of it.

In short, he understood. The noble family took advantage of Emperor Zhaowu's mind, helped him kidnap the woman of the retired emperor, and then killed her, in order to completely split the royal family and turn the emperor and his son against each other.

"You're asking for death!" Wei Xingzhou slammed the table and stood up, the remaining wine in the bowl splashing out, "Let's go, get some work done!"

Long Jiang stood up, went to open the door, picked up two jars of strong liquor and threw them to his men, "Take them all, and go to the Six Gods Temple to reward the brothers."

As the guards in the temple staggered from drink, a few broken tiles on the eaves rustled slightly.

As dawn breaks, candles light up brightly in the secret rooms of the four great families.

"Have you verified it?" Lin Wensong dug his fingertips into the armrest of the armchair.

"Our people just sneaked into the Six Gods Temple and checked the bodies inside." The guard kneeled on the ground and his Adam's apple rolled. "Report to the master, there are indeed four bodies in the temple, one man and three women."

The four great families were sweating profusely. One man and three women!

In the dead silence of the room, the guard of Guangnan Lin family suddenly kowtowed heavily, "Although, although the face is completely destroyed, but the gold and jade nails are undoubtedly the mistress's!"

The guards of the other two families were not familiar with the young lady who was kept in seclusion, so they did not dare to make any comments and kept silent. But when they were asked urgently, they had to tell the truth, "Those two bodies can be seen to be young."

The guards of the Guo family in Subei had tears in their eyes, "Our Third Young Master! The Third Young Master was tied up with ropes before he died. The marks on his wrists are still there, and he can't move."

"Beast!" The head of the Guo family kicked over the table and said, "This blood feud must be paid with blood."

The faces of the family heads were all dark. The problem was that they were the ones who personally ordered the activation of the Six Gods Temple's self-destruction device.

Everyone looked at the pale sky outside the window, and suddenly they felt that the candles in the room had turned into white flags to summon souls.

The heads of the families were all capable of doing great things. They quickly recovered from their grief and re-activated the available people. They found out that Emperor Zhaowu still believed that Tang was dead.

"It seems that the emperor wants to depose the emperor."

"Emperor Zhaowu has nowhere to go."

"Our family has already stood in open opposition to the Emperor, and we also have no other way to go."

Everyone was filled with sorrow. How did the four great families end up like this?

Inside the Qingshou Palace, the gilded beast furnace was emitting wisps of green smoke.

Emperor Xiao Yunde stayed awake all night, thinking and weighing the pros and cons.

The Guangnan Lin family, the Yunxi Gui family, the Subei Guo family, and the Huaidong Qin family are collectively known as the Four Great Families of the Northern Wing and are truly century-old prestigious families.

They were clearly once the foundation of the North Wing.

The noble family passed down the family tradition of poetry and etiquette, and the children of the family either became officials or took charge of the business world, and there were many talented people from generation to generation. Their profound heritage and solid foundation were far beyond the reach of ordinary dignitaries.

As for the four great families in the North Wing, Xiao Yunde never thought of deliberately reducing their rights.

However, the disciples of the clan educated by the aristocratic family are good at maintaining the status quo and are good at dealing with people. Although they have lost their recklessness, they have also inevitably lost some of their sharpness.

These people are well versed in pros and cons, and they think twice before doing anything. They are not like the upstarts from humble backgrounds who dare to take the lead and charge into battle.

The glory of a century-old family gave them vision and perspective, but it also became an invisible constraint.

The four great families eventually lost their gilded glory bit by bit in the surging waves of the North Wing.

It’s not that Xiao Yunde intended to destroy their foundation, but it’s the result of the children of the aristocratic family not being enterprising.

While many students were studying hard all night, the children of aristocratic families were enjoying flowers and drinking wine; while new scholars were busy with practical work, the nobles were still discussing poetry and appreciating paintings. The change of dynasties in the court is like a great wave washing away the sand, and the first to be washed away are always the rotten wood that clings to the old and the old.

It is time for the four great families to withdraw from the historical stage of the North Wing.
