"Empire Hegemony" Chapter 169
After Wang Huchen handed the memorial to the palace, he has been anxiously waiting for the emperor's reply.
? If the emperor did not support him in purging the court, Wang Huchen was ready to resign and return home.
If he doesn't solve those powerful families, there is no way for him to clean up this mess.
After all, it is hard for a clever woman to cook without rice, and now all the money, food and taxes have fallen into the pockets of the family, he is hard to be a leftist.
"Master Zuo, the prince has arrived outside the mansion."
When Wang Huchen was anxious, the confidant butler knocked on the door of his study.
Wang Huchen knew that this prince was one of the eunuchs trusted by the old emperor. After taking a deep breath, he stepped out of the study.
"Wang Gonggong, I am far away, please forgive me."
Although he was uneasy in his heart, Wang Huchen still looked calm on the surface, as if nothing had happened.
"Master Zuo Xiang, you have the liberty to visit late at night, and please make amends."
Although this prince and father-in-law was a celebrity before the emperor, he still admired Wang Huchen, the left prime minister who was concerned about the country and the people, and he seemed humble and polite.
"Where is it, please invite Wang Gonggong to come to the hall to talk about it."
The prince waved his hand and said: "Mr. Zuo, I will come to visit someday when I have the opportunity, but today I have brought His Majesty's oral order, and Mr. Zuo please enter the palace immediately."
Wang Huchen knew that it must be the reason for his memorial, so he didn't ask much, and immediately followed Wang Gonggong and left the mansion, heading straight for the imperial city.
After passing through the palace gates guarded by the imperial guards, Wang Huchen was soon invited to the emperor's bedroom.
When Wang Huchen entered the emperor's bedroom, he found that the prince had already arrived one step ahead.
"Meet my emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live."
When Wang Huchen saw the old emperor lying on his side on the bed, he immediately bowed down and saluted.
"Give Wang Aiqing a seat."
After the old emperor coughed a few times, he waved to the servant next to him and ordered.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Wang Huchen once again bowed his head in thanks.
"Wang Aiqing, who are you planning to operate on?"
After Wang Huchen sat down, the old emperor didn't beat around the bush, and asked him straight to the point.
Wang Huchen looked at the prince sitting on the side, and then at the servants around him, but he didn't speak.
"You wait and back down."
"No¡ª¡ª"
Following the old emperor's words, the surrounding maids retreated one after another. Except for the candlelight in Nuo Da's palace, there were only the old emperor, the prince and Wang Huchen left.
"Your Majesty, Your Royal Highness, I am going to start with the Yang family." Wang Huchen paused and said.
Hearing the target Wang Huchen chose for surgery, the prince beside him couldn't help but gasped.
The Yang family is one of the most powerful military families. The current head of the family, Yang Hong, is not only one of the people in charge of the general's mansion, but also has the title of Duke of the State, with great power.
In addition to Yang Hong, the Duke of the Yang family, there are three princes and fifteen uncles in the Yang family. The Yang family's children are all over the court.
?Because the Yang family was a military family when the country was first established, coupled with its power, the emperors of all dynasties have given them three points of courtesy and continued to favor them.
One of the results is that the power of the Yang family is rapidly expanding, and together with other military families, it threatens the rule of the royal family.
But the emperor didn't dare to move them easily, because pulling one hair would affect the whole body, and the emperor wouldn't have to do it if things went wrong.
The emperor only slowly hoped to curb them through the civil servants from poor families, but who knew that the civil servants would not live up to their expectations.
Now that Wang Huchen wanted to mobilize such a powerful military family as soon as he opened his mouth, the emperor had to re-examine this left minister, and he had such courage.
"The three provinces in the southeast are the Yang family's sphere of influence. The Yang family also has a decisive influence inside and outside the court. If they are moved, the court will inevitably be turbulent. Now the provinces are not peaceful ¡±
The old emperor no longer had the courage of the past. He felt that Wang Huchen was a little risky. After all, the Far Eastern Dynasty was already in turmoil and could not stand the toss.
"Your Majesty, although mobilizing the Yang family will cause a series of turmoil, the effect will be faster than mobilizing some small military families."
"The big tree of the Yang family looks like it can cover the sky with only one hand, but it is actually rotten. They have been arrogant and domineering all these years, and they have offended eight thousand people if not ten thousand. We only need to make the first cut, and there are countless People stabbed their knives."
"Besides, although the three southeastern provinces belong to the Yang family's sphere of influence, most of them have now fallen into the hands of the bandit army. The Yang family's foreign aid is not as good as before."
"The Yang family is one of the largest military families. They are notorious outsiders. If we move the Yang family, we will also win the support of the people."
Wang Huchen wanted to mobilize the powerful Yang family, naturally he had his own considerations, and he felt that the advantages outweighed the disadvantages.
"If we touch the Yang family, we will startle the snake. Once other families join forces, we may not be able to deal with it." The prince expressed his worries.
"Now it's all self-cleaning, no one cares about others, and now the various aristocratic families are fighting endlessly within themselves, and it is as difficult as heaven to unite."
With the continuous reproduction of various military and military families, large-scale families have been formed. For power and status, they are also fighting endlessly, and internal friction is quite serious.
It was precisely after Wang Huchen saw the situation of these military and military families that they were strong outside but capable in the middle, that's why he decided to attack the family.
If he wasn't worried about causing too much turmoil, he even wanted to clean up these families all at once.
Once all the military and military families are swept away, the turmoil will be too great. After all, the family has penetrated into all aspects, and it is not something that the Far East Dynasty can digest at present.
So now they only have to kill chickens to scare monkeys, get rid of the Yang family first, and slowly clean up the rest of the family in the future.
"The Yang family and the Lu family have been in-laws for several generations. If you want to move the Yang family, the Lu family should also move together."
After thinking about it for a while, the old emperor decided that this time, the Lu family, one of the general's martial arts families, should also be eliminated.
After all, the Lu family is a big family second only to the Yang family, and has a close relationship with the Yang family, and is notorious.
"Jun'er, this time you will be in charge of cleaning up the imperial court, and Wang Aiqing will assist you."
The old emperor knew that his time was running out, and the world would still belong to his son after all.
This time it was a rare opportunity to purge the court and cut off the two major military families, so he asked the prince to do it.
Originally, the old emperor planned to leave Wang Huchen, the loyal prime minister of the left, to the prince after a hundred years.
Now that the Far Eastern Dynasty is dying, they have to rectify the internal affairs of the dynasty in advance to remove the cancer in order to maintain the rule, so let the prince stand in front of the stage in advance.
