There are many aristocratic families in the country, and there are also many Daxiu clans, but it is not enough to say that they are everywhere.
Let's take the widely circulated term "wealth" to draw a line between aristocratic families and cultivators. That is the personal connections maintained by the family and industry created by generations. This can be called an aristocratic family, but it is definitely not a family. .
The same goes for the Xiu Clan. One or two generations of monks simply cannot support the reputation of the Xiu Clan, let alone the "Great Xiu Clan"? It requires at least five or six generations of continuous efforts, and during this period there must be at least one master of the Yuandan realm, otherwise there is no shame in calling oneself a great cultivator.
Therefore, after calculation, the total number of aristocratic families and Daxiu clan in the entire Jingjiu Dynasty is less than fifty. Among them, there are more aristocratic families, and the Daxiu clan is the smallest, with less than ten families.
It actually makes sense when you think about it. After all, aristocratic families can always create a group of people with their brains, skills and time. But the Overhaul Clan needs resources to build up, not just external resources, but more importantly "talents". Without properly cultivated geniuses, the Overhaul Clan is impossible to build. Therefore, there are many "adopted" children in the Daxiu clan because of this.
In fact, it is not a big problem for these Daxiu clan and aristocratic families to be separated into two families, and it is not even harmful. But after more, the situation will be different.
There are many aristocratic families and Daxiu clan. Not to mention the infiltration caused by them in all aspects, just saying that the role they play in superficial world affairs is enough to make the emperor of the old dynasty drink a pot.
There is a saying that stragglers are not terrible, they are just a bunch of scattered sand; what is terrible is that there is a leader to form an orderly force.
The influence of a single aristocratic family on the Jingjiu Dynasty was very limited, and even if it penetrated into the officialdom, the impact would not be too loud. To put it bluntly, the same sound would be deafening if they were uttered rhythmically together. The chaotic noise could only be completely covered up by the ringing of the bells in the palace.
From this point of view, it is easy to understand the order given by the emperor before summoning Shen Hao alone.
The emperor's idea is definitely not to kill the entire family and the Daxiu clan in a bloody wave without leaving any room. Because this is theoretically impossible. Even if the killing is completed this time, won't a new family member come out in a hundred or two or three hundred years and kill again? So how can the rule of the old Jing Dynasty still exist? The first thing that anyone who wants to think about is whether they will be wiped out. Who wouldn't think of collaborating to rebel early on? Save your life!
Therefore, the emperor's purpose is not to completely eliminate the family members, and he knows that they cannot be eliminated. His purpose is to prevent the family members from having the opportunity to secretly gather various voices to influence the country's major decisions. Even the "Royal Examination" has become a game field between the aristocratic family members and the Daxiu clan. Yang Shu, a person who has experienced this, can see it more clearly and feels even more humiliated.
The royal family's choice actually requires these parasite-like family members to play a key role in it?
The next "imperial exam" is still a long way away, but as an emperor, if Yang Shu wants to make changes, he must start with the noble families.
The idea is discussed at the top, and the errands are done at the bottom to achieve it. Shen Hao began to clean up the Wang family as a breakthrough point to achieve what Pang Ban said, "getting a head start", and then used the point of breaking the surface.
But now how to choose this "noodle".
As mentioned before, there are less than fifty families in the Jingjiu Dynasty that can be called aristocratic families and major repair families. These fifty families cannot be missed. This is the bottom line of the emperor's intention. But they can't kill them all. This will definitely cause unpredictable big changes. If there is a "rebellion" or something like that, Shen Hao's ten heads won't be enough to chop them off.
You need to have them all, but you can’t kill them all. This requires careful selection.
For example, those who have the most influence in the army cannot be retained and must be killed cleanly. Shen Hao was sure of this even without the emperor saying so.
What was the basis of the Jingjiu Dynasty? In addition to the Golden Sword Guards in Fenghong Villa, there are all the soldiers and horses in the world. The four major front armies and the frontier armies are the foundation. If someone wants to add sand to your fundamental foundation, can you bear it? Anyway, Yang Shu couldn't bear it.
For example, those who have close dealings with Ye Lansheng and the four arrested ministers cannot be retained, nor can those who frequently reach out to "lifeline output" resources.
Just for these three things, the upper and lower levels must be divided into one degree. Otherwise, more or less every family will have some of these, wouldn't it mean that no one is left?
Shen Hao had always had a plan, and now he was preparing for the next move when he raided Wang's house.
This has to be fast. On the one hand, it can prevent other aristocratic families from having too much time to react and unite. On the other hand, they also want to borrow the manpower of Fenghong Villa.
Of course, Fenghong Villa would definitely not be happy with this kind of "pure help". But Shen Hao was naturally confident of persuading the other party to end.
Because Shen Hao holds the Golden Sword Seal, he has the nominal power to let Fenghong Villa assist in solving the case. In addition, "focusing" on the eradication of aristocratic families and the Daxiu clan can also paralyze the second-rate sects behind the Wang family.
Besides, we need to deal with the affairs of the aristocratic families as soon as possible so that we can free up our minds to deal with those second-rate sects. Anyway, for Fenghong Villa, the aristocratic family and the Daxiu clan are not a big deal. Looking at the Wang family, which is known as the number one, it only takes half an hour.
This idea was directly told by Shen Hao to Duan Jue and the other two people who also stayed here on the third day of searching Wang's house.
"No! This is not the scope of our mission this time! Mr. Shen, if you are thinking of using our Fenghong Villa as free labor, you'd better give up this idea."
Duan Jue was a little angry. She didn't expect that Shen was so unconventional and planned to use the power of their Fenghong Villa. This was the first time she had encountered such a person.
Shen Hao didn't panic, he had his confidence, so he said: "Three seniors. Your Majesty gave me the Golden Sword Seal and asked everyone from Fenghong Villa to investigate the case of Ye Lansheng's nest, and now I am asking you for help. A part of the nest case.
Three seniors, don't be too busy getting angry. I also know that you don't want to waste too much time here, and I have no intention of extending the time promised before.
Aren't they just a few aristocratic families and Daxiu clan, how can they be more troublesome than the Wang family? Even if there are more places to run, there are so many people at Fenghong Villa here, and the three seniors don't need to act in unison all the time. It actually doesn't take more than a few days to do it together after they are separated.
In this way, there will be fewer things that require force. At worst, I will just go to the Forbidden Army or the local army for reinforcements later, and the time will be greatly shortened. Let alone the end of the year, it may be completed in November. "
"Are you sure?" Duan Jue and the others didn't mind speeding up the matter.
"certainly."
