"Yuwen Valve?"
Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, then frowned and asked.
"Why do you think it's them? Do you think it was the Yuwen Clan that framed the Dugu Clan?"
With the current incompatible attitude of Dugu Valve and Yuwen Valve, this is indeed very possible.
"This is just one aspect. There is also..."
Li Xiuning hesitated.
"It's a gut feeling!"
"intuition?"
······
Yuwen family.
Since Yuwen Shang went into seclusion, Yu Wenhuaji became the acting clan leader and took control of the entire Yuwen clan.
After listening to the report from his subordinates and understanding the situation in Chang'an City, Yu Wenhuaji said expressionlessly.
"It's time to take the next step."
······
same day.
Feeling that they were threatened, the nobles of the aristocratic families directly approached the Yuwen clan and the Dugu clan, putting pressure on them overtly and covertly, asking them to suppress the turmoil.
Today's Chang'an City can be roughly divided into three forces. In addition to the inner guard directly controlled by Yang Guang, the remaining imperial guards, imperial city guards, city defense and other forces are basically controlled by the Dugu Clan. In the hands of Yuwen Valve.
The palace guards responsible for guarding Yang Guang's own safety must not be moved.
Then, the only thing that can move is the power in the hands of Dugu Clan and Yuwen Clan.
Moreover, nominally speaking, it is their duty to protect Chang'an City!
Originally, they wanted to go directly to Yang Guang and ask Yang Guang to give orders to achieve this goal, but now Yang Guang's mental state is a little weird.
Not only had he not gone to court for many days, but he was also extremely obsessed with Taoist longevity techniques and had no intention of handling government affairs.
In recent days, the court has been basically an open and covert battle between the Dugu Clan and the Yuwen Clan.
Even if they pull Yang Guang out, according to their understanding of the court affairs, once this matter is politicized, it will be a mess.
Apart from anything else, just the question of who should be entrusted to handle it would probably take several days!
Maintaining the safety of nobles from aristocratic families sounds nice. It seems that if it is done well, it seems that it can gain the favor of a large number of nobles from aristocratic families, and it is not impossible to even directly make some people turn to them.
But the key is, can they do it well?
Although the power controlled by the Yuwen Clan and the Dugu Clan is powerful, what they will face this time is from all the major forces in the world!
Even though due to some reasons, only a small number of people from all major forces came to Chang'an, these people are all the best among the best!
In addition, there are as many as twenty or thirty noble families involved this time, distributed in various areas of Chang'an City, and the difficulty of guarding is not ordinary.
If there is a little bit of negligence, I am afraid that several families will die. At that time, responsibility and abuse will be inevitable.
All in all, this is definitely not a good thing!
Even if you think about it, you know that faced with such a thankless job, the Dugu Clan and the Yuwen Clan will definitely blame each other, and it may not take ten days and a half to finalize it.
Ten days and a half month?
According to the current situation, it's hard to say whether they can survive three to five days!
So naturally, these shrewd nobles from the aristocratic families directly passed Yang Guang and approached the Dugu Clan and Yuwen Clan.
And in order to get them to agree, they directly joined forces.
Faced with the joint efforts of so many powerful families to force the emperor to marry, even the Dugu Clan and Yuwen Clan could not ignore it and immediately launched a massive suppression operation.
This operation not only gathered the power controlled by the Dugu Clan and the Yuwen Clan, but other powerful families also made great efforts and sent out their private soldiers.
It is no exaggeration to say that it was a joint action by the entire Chang'an City's old forces.
To put it bluntly, even if Yang Guang personally ordered it, it would be impossible to create such a large formation!
With so many forces joining forces, it was natural that they suppressed the chaos in a very short period of time.
Chang'an City regained its calm.
Before anyone breaks through this ancient city, this is the area controlled by the nobles of the major families.
Outsiders may be able to do evil for a while, but now that all the powerful families are working together, they can only behave with their tail between their legs and act in accordance with the rules of the powerful families.
It’s still that restaurant.
Li Shimin was silent for a long time and then spoke quietly.
"Xiu Ning, I somewhat believe what you said, the person who breaks the situation is the Yuwen Clan!"
Although this action seems to have taken place after the powerful people of the major families felt threatened and took the initiative to join forces to intimidate the Dugu Clan and Yuwen Clan.
But with some awareness in advance, they discovered that this matter was actually promoted by several aristocratic families in the beginning, and these aristocratic families happened to be very close to the Yuwen Clan.
Some things are so coincidental that they become inevitable.
"Yu Wenhuaji, our cousin seems to be far more powerful than we imagined!"
Li Shimin's eyes were deep.
The relationship between the three families of Li Clan, Yuwen Clan and Yang Guang is actually very complicated. Li Yuan and Yang Guang are cousins, and their mothers are siblings. Similarly, Li Yuan and Yu Wenhuaji are also cousins.
Therefore, there is also a saying in later generations that it was passed down from the Sui and Tang Dynasties. This is not unreasonable.
If the Dugu Clan is added to the equation, the relationship between them will become even more complicated. There is nothing wrong with saying that they are all relatives.
If we follow the traditions of European nobles, they all have the right to inherit the throne!
Among the four major clans, only the Lingnan Song clan is still free from this "relative system". It is not that the three major clans are unwilling to accept the Song clan.
When he first took over Lingnan, Yang Jian had the idea of marrying off the princess to win over the Song clan through marriage.
It's a pity that Song Que is a fanatical supporter of 'pure Han blood'. He has no regard for the Yang family, Li family, Yuwen family and Dugu family that have been mixed with foreign blood, or are simply foreign blood. Eye!
The Yuwen family and the Dugu family are both foreigners who entered the Central Plains during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period. However, it was only later that due to some publicity and their active integration, they were regarded as Central Plains people by most people in the world.
But this default obviously did not include Song Que.
Back to business.
Due to these complex relationships, the relationship between the various gatekeepers is actually quite complicated. If you say they are hostile, then they are definitely there.
But even though the Dugu Clan and the Yuwen Clan have been fighting openly and secretly in Chang'an City to this extent, they still communicate with each other.
This is true for both the Dugu Clan and the Yuwen Clan, let alone the Li Clan.
Due to Li Yuan's "low-key" and vacillating attitude, the two great clans mistakenly believed that the other party had no intention of competing for the world. The two great clans even secretly attracted them, hoping that Li would turn to support them.
Compared with the Dugu Clan and the Yuwen Clan who were always at the center of the court and were likely to learn from Yang Jian and take over from the Northern Zhou Dynasty, the Li Clan, which had moved away from the center of the court because of the rumor back then, was indeed very different.
Coupled with Taiyuan's special geographical location, behind them are the Turks who are eyeing them. Just guarding against the Turks requires a lot of their energy. How can they have any spare energy to fight for the world?
So don't be surprised. In the eyes of many current forces, the Li Clan who will conquer the world in the future does not actually have the strength to conquer the world.
Their only way to break the situation is to capture Luoyang!
But that was the imperial capital. The city was high and well-defended, and Wang Shichong led a hundred thousand Sui Dynasty elite troops to guard it. How could the Li clan, who was surrounded by enemies from both sides, be able to do it?
Under such circumstances, it is not difficult to understand that the Dugu Clan and the Yuwen Clan would have the idea to win over the Li Clan.
Because of this, the contact between Li Shimin and Yu Wenhuaji was not that small.
In his impression, Yu Wenhuaji did have abilities, but he was too arrogant and arrogant, not like a personal master.
All in all, Li Shimin's initial impression of Yu Wenhuaji was not good.
But what happened in the past two days left him a bit stunned.
Is this really the Yu Wenji that he knows?
"I heard that since he came back from Yangzhou, he seems to have become a different person. Well, that doesn't seem right."
Li Xiuning recalled it and then said.
"Judging from his usual posture, and even many small details and habits in life, he is still the same person. Apart from becoming more cold, there is nothing."
"On some matters, he has become stronger and more irrefutable!"
"More powerful?"
Li Shimin said thoughtfully.
"Could it be the change after he became the acting valve master?"
After all, this is the power to control a clan. If it were him, if he controlled the Li clan now, there would still be changes!
"Maybe."
Hearing this, Li Xiuning nodded silently and did not say any more.
Although she felt that there was still something weird about this Yu Wenhuaji, there was no evidence, and just relying on some intuitions and feelings was obviously of no use.
She changed the subject directly.
"Second brother, the current situation in Chang'an City has changed so quickly. What should we do next?"
"Let me think about it carefully!"
Li Shimin also had a headache at this time.
Originally, when he noticed that there was a problem with 'Yang Gong's Treasure House', he was still thinking about what he should do to get a share of the upcoming situation.
Unexpectedly, he had just started thinking and came up with some clues, and suddenly the whole city of Chang'an was in a turmoil - Yuwen Clan directly overturned the chessboard!
Just lift it.
According to the chaotic situation in Chang'an City, it is not without benefits for them. Maybe they can just make profits out of the chaos.
But what Li Shimin never expected was that the chaos would be calmed down in less than a day.
How to deal with it now?
"Let me think about it, think about it."
······
There was no extra time for Li Shimin to think.
the next day.
Another explosive news spread all over the world.
"The legendary Demon Sect's most precious treasure - the evil emperor's relics are in Mr. Yang's treasury? Is it true?!"
"Of course it's true! The Evil Emperor's relic was owned by Xiang Yutian, the Evil Emperor of the Demon Sect. After Xiang Yutian's death, the Evil Emperor's relic was given to his close friend Lu Miaozi for safekeeping. Because he was worried about this The Evil Emperor's relics were obtained by demons and endangered the world, so Lu Miaozi put them into Yang Gong's treasury."
"Who is this Lu Miaozi? Why can he enter and exit Yang Gong's treasury at will?!"
"You don't even know Lu Miaozi, but he was once the most skilled craftsman in the world! It was he who built the famous Yang Gong's treasure house!"
"He actually built Duke Yang's treasury? Hiss!! It seems that the news that the Evil Emperor's relics are in Duke Yang's treasury must be true!"
"Of course it's true! Apart from Duke Yang's treasure house, where else in the world can the evil emperor's relics be hidden?"
"Speaking of which, what exactly is this Evil Emperor's relic? It dares to be called the most precious treasure of the Demon Sect. Is it very precious? What is its function?"
"It's hard for anyone to tell clearly what the Evil Emperor's relic is. It's just that it's yellow in color and looks like a relic, so that's why there's such a saying. As for how precious it is... Let's put it this way, it has With the ability to store and release true energy, the masters of the Demon Sect in the past dynasties would pour their own true energy into the Evil Emperor's relics before dying. So far, the Evil Emperor's relics have contained at least hundreds of years of true energy! Jane In other words, whoever can obtain the Evil Emperor's relics will directly obtain the power of hundreds of years of true energy!"
"According to legend, the reason why all the evil emperors of the Demon Sect are at the Grand Master level is all because of this evil emperor's relic!"
Suddenly.
The whole world was completely shaken.
Different from the previous news about 'Yang Gong's Treasure House', the existence of Yang Gong's Treasure House is naturally very attractive to all the aristocratic families and rebels who are interested in fighting for the world, and they will try their best to get it.
But for the warriors in the world, especially the strong ones among them, the news about Duke Yang's treasure house seems not that important.
It's not that they don't want this wealth, but they know very well that in this major event that attracts the world's attention and surrounded by tens of thousands of troops, it is impossible for them to get a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry with their abilities.
Even if they intervene, they can only get tens of thousands of taels of silver at most.
This kind of harvest is not worth a special trip for those master-level experts who stand on top of the world.
But the Evil Emperor's relics are different.
That is a magic treasure that contains at least hundreds of years of true energy!
Even a warrior who is dedicated to martial arts cannot resist such temptation.
"According to legend, this evil emperor's relic can help the evil emperor of the Demon Sect become a great master. If I get this evil emperor's relic, wouldn't I also become a great master?"
Evil Emperor's Relic = Grand Master? !
Today, including the Turkic steppe forces and overseas forces, there are only three great masters!
Obtaining the Evil Emperor's relic is equivalent to having a ticket directly to the position of the fourth great master in the world. Which warrior in the world can resist such a temptation?
There is no problem. When the news came out, the martial arts masters all over the world went crazy about it.
"The Evil Emperor's relics are mine!"
"The Grand Master is mine too!"
Countless greedy eyes were all looking at Chang'an.
A more violent storm is coming!
