Martial Arts: I am in the Ming Cult and I am building a dynasty

Among the three Lis, Li Shimin of the Taiyuan Li clan was the most powerful. Others included Li Xingyun of the Longxi Li clan and Li Maozhen of the Zhaojun Li clan, who were quite prominent.

The Queen of Huanyinfang is Li Maozhen's biological sister.

If Li Xingyun had no desire to fight for power, then Li Xingyun would naturally become someone that Li Maozhen and the empress would try to win over at all costs.

Chapter 687: North Grassland Southward Strategy

No one, including Miaochengtian and Xuanjingtian, could refute Fanyintian's words. They were even secretly convinced in their hearts.

In addition, there was Fanyintian’s leadership in the rebellion and various persuasions.

It didn't take too long before the other members of the Nine Heavens Saint Lady quickly surrendered to Yang Zhao, opened their souls, and allowed the Emperor's World-Suppressing Bell to capture their true spirits.

Yang Zhao was naturally quite satisfied with this result.

With the suppression of the Huangji Zhenshi Bell, all the poisonous insects in the body of Jiutian Shengji were picked out and killed. Then, the pure yang purple energy was injected into the bodies of several people, and a wave of loyal people were harvested on the spot.

Until this time, the ambush and assassination against Yang Zhao was completely over.

The Poison Immortal Jiao Zong and his five hidden men were all killed.

Lu Xun and Xu Daofu relied on the reputation of Sun En, the Taoist priest of heaven, to save their lives and swore a solemn oath that they would flee overseas once the affairs here were over.

Except for the veteran spy Ni Huihui, all the others surrendered.

Soon, Yang Zhao made arrangements for everyone, and then took Jiutian Shengji, Miao Chengtian and Xuan Jingtian back to Chang'an.

As for Ni Huihui, Jiang Lingxu, Fan Yintian and others, they followed Yang Zhao's plan and returned to their respective forces, continuing to "serve" them, while secretly collecting intelligence for Yang Zhao.

After this battle.

Within three days, the entire Sui Dynasty world, and even among all the forces, was in turmoil.

The Poison Immortal Jiao Zong, together with Ni Huihui, Lu Xun, Xu Daofu, Jiang Lingxu, the Five Anzi, the Nine Heavens Saint Lady and nearly twenty other top-level experts surrounded and killed him, but they were no match for him.

The Poison Immortal, the ceiling of the Martial Saint, died, the Five Dark Sons died, Miao Chengtian and Xuan Jingtian died.

Ni Huihui fled to the grassland with serious injuries, Lu Xun and Xu Daofu sacrificed the secret treasure of Tianshi Dao and fled overseas, Jiang Lingxu's sword heart was shattered, and Fanyintian and other remaining Nine Heavens Saints even had broken hearts.

Yang Zhao's fierce power instantly shocked everyone in the Sui Dynasty.

On the East Turkic steppe outside Bingzhou in the north.

In a simple and chaotic city, the original residence of the Turkic Khan, Prince Ruyang, Wang Baobao, and Zhao Min, father and daughter, sat in the first seat.

Zhu Faqing, Murong Chui, Meng Chixing and other top-level warriors sent by the Yuan Dynasty sat on the left and right. The rest were powerful and high-ranking people from the Eastern Turkic grassland ethnic groups.

Everyone looked at Ni Huihui, who was pale in the hall, and their faces turned a little pale.

From Ni Huihui, everyone has learned about the result of the siege on Yang Zhao in Sichuan.

A person who is at the peak of Martial Saint level has more terrifying combat power than many Martial Saints who are at the ceiling level.

Such a monster is extremely rare in the entire Kyushu world in thousands of years.

Even the former geniuses like Ling Donglai were not as fierce as Yang Zhao when they were young.

"Waste, a bunch of waste, they have lived for hundreds of years in vain..."

"Murong Chui, who do you call a waste?"

"Master Faqing, I'm sorry, I'm not targeting your wife, I'm talking about the Poison Immortal Jiao Zong."

"Humph, be careful next time!"

Murong Chui was the most courageous, excited and eager person among this wave of invading the Sui Dynasty. When he heard that Yang Zhao was not dead, he was naturally furious.

Because of Ni Huihui, he almost got into a fight with Zhu Faqing.

Looking at the mess in the hall.

Prince Ruyang coughed lightly to quiet everyone down, and said, "Everyone, since Yang Zhao has returned to Guanlong alive, there is no need for us to discuss the matter of his ambush and killing."

"With Yang Zhao's return, the Guanlong court, which was already in chaos, will surely regain its unity."

"Let's discuss what to do in the next battle."

Ruyang King Aluwen was a famous general with great intelligence and courage. Knowing that the situation was hopeless, he made a prompt decision and shifted everyone's attention to the front battlefield.

Hear the words of King Ruyang.

Murong Chui jumped out again and said, "Prince Ruyang, what else is there to say? I will drive them with the Northern Tyrant Army and gather millions of Turkic people from Yanmen Pass, Mayi, Shuofang and other places in Bingzhou. I think the Li family is no match for us. After we swallow Bingzhou, whether we go south to Guanzhong or east to Jizhou and Central Plains, the colorful world will be at our disposal!"

Murong Chui is a typical fanatical warmonger who has spent his entire life practicing and fighting, and even his brain is all muscles.

Wang Baobao and Zhao Min, brother and sister, glanced at Murong Chui and despised him silently in their hearts.

Wang Baobao was the first to speak: "Senior Murong, it's not that I am cowardly and boastful, but the Han people in the Central Plains should not be underestimated. The Li family, the three Lis combined, are one of the most powerful forces in the entire Sui Dynasty. If we force a battle with them, even if we win, we will lose more than we gain, and we will just be making things easier for others."

What Wang Baobao said was not without reason, and even Murong Chui had to admit it.

After all, Murong Chui was reckless only because he had no good strategies and could only rely on brute force to defeat the enemy. He was not a fool who could not see the situation clearly.

Seeing everyone looking at him, Wang Baobao coughed and said, "In the current situation of the Sui Dynasty, we have the advantage of occupying the northern grasslands. Bingzhou and Youzhou can both be breakthrough points. My sister has many capable people under her command. She has already contacted Liu Wuzhou, the Bingzhou Mayi Schoolmaster, Liang Shidu, the Shuofang Yingyang Langjiang, and Wang Bo, the Youzhou rebel king."

"I think we can mobilize the Turkic army and divide it into two parts, Bingzhou and Youzhou. We can press the border and use the momentum to pressure the people of Bingzhou and Youzhou to cooperate with us. After we enter the Central Plains and take over most of the world, we can talk about other things. What do you think?"

As soon as Wang Baobao finished speaking, everyone's eyes turned to Zhao Min.

Prince Ruyang said with great affection: "Minmin, how are your preparations in the Great Sui territory? Are you confident that you can subdue Liu Wuzhou, Liang Shidu and others?"

Zhao Min was full of confidence and said, "Father, as long as the Han Dynasty issues an order, I am willing to enter Bingzhou first and help the army capture Mayi and Shuofang first."

"As for Youzhou, Yan Wang Luo Yi is a bit difficult to deal with, but there are many rebel kings in Youyan. As long as we give some support, we can definitely cause unrest in Youzhou, and Yan Wang Luo Yi will be exhausted and no longer have the strength to resist our army."

"In addition, Minmin is willing to go to the Central Plains to communicate with those noble families. As long as we agree to some privileges from those families, Minmin is confident that many of them will not resist when our army moves south."

After the voice was finished, everyone in the hall showed deep joy on their faces.

Chapter 688: The Zhanying Conference, a gathering of aristocratic families

The existence of these forces such as aristocratic families actually has a bottom line, but it is not high.

These people have enjoyed the sense of superiority given by their families since childhood. Few of them take ordinary people or court policies seriously. The only issue that needs to be considered is family interests.

However, due to the territory of the Sui Dynasty, there has never been a powerful man like Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhao Kuangyin.

So for hundreds or even thousands of years.

This caused the aristocratic families in the Sui Dynasty to accumulate too strong a foundation, and also made it increasingly difficult for those in power to govern this land.

But for these aristocratic families, it doesn’t matter who is in power.

What is important is whether those in power can ensure that the interests of the family are not affected.

Just as Zhao Min said, after the news of Yang Zhao's invincibility spread, many noble families near Luoyang and in the Central Plains quickly gathered together to hold a small meeting.

Luoyang Zhanying Tower.

This is a place similar to the private clubs of later generations. It is called a building, but in fact, it is a small private garden located in the city.

A one-stop service for eating, drinking and having fun, all top-notch.

Even in this Zhanying Tower, one can see some palace maids brought out from the imperial palace.

It is also extremely difficult to enter the Zhanying Tower.

Even the top young masters of the younger generation such as Li Shimin, Li Xingyun and Li Maozhen could not enter the Zhanying Tower without an invitation.

If the three Lis had not united as one, even Li Yuan, the head of the Li family, would have had to apply in advance if he wanted to enter the Zhanying Tower.

But on this day, Zhanying Tower was closed, and even the maids and servants were dismissed.

Only in a secret palace in the backyard of Zhanying Tower, dozens of luxurious figures were bustling about, holding an extremely private gathering.

"Is everyone here?"

"A total of 32 families from Central Plains, Northern Hebei, Qingzhou, Lianghuai, and Jiangnan have all arrived."

"In this case, let this Hairpin Conference begin."

"Alright."

"That's how it should be."

"agree……"

Inside the palace, behind the tables, thirty-two people with noble auras and gorgeous clothes quickly agreed and drank the wine in the bottles in front of them.

After the blood wine in the jar was finished, a middle-aged man with silver hair and a strong build soon came to the top of the palace.

This man was called Wang Xiang, and he was the ancestor of the Wang family of Langya.

Many people in later generations did not know who Wang Xiang was, but if you are familiar with the Twenty-Four Filial Exemplars, you will know that this Wang Xiang was the one who lay on the ice to catch a carp.

Compared to its heyday hundreds of years ago, the Wang family of Langya now seems to be in decline.

But in fact, the Wang family of Langya, which is so low-key, is still the most powerful family in the entire Sui Dynasty. Even the Li family, which was formed after the three Li families merged into one, dared not provoke them.

The Wang family of Langya has a very long history, which can even be traced back to the pre-Qin period. There are branches in many worlds such as Tianmen, Xianmen, and Guimen.

Especially in the past thousand years or so, dynasties have changed and the world has undergone tremendous changes.

However, the Wang family of Langya has always been at the top of the list of aristocratic families, producing a total of 36 queens, 36 princes-in-law, 92 prime ministers, and more than 900 literati.

Wang Xizhi, who was once a semi-teacher to Xie Daoyuan, was a member of the Wang family of Langya.

For nearly a thousand years, every grand gathering of nobles in this area had to be hosted by someone from the Wang family of Langya, who was qualified to host it. If the Wang family of Langya refused, even the emperor could not participate.

For example, the Li family, which is now in a very strong momentum in the Sui Dynasty and has become an oligarch-level aristocratic family after the three Lis united, was directly removed from this Zhanying Conference by the Wang family of Langya.

Even so, the Li family could only complain a few times within the family but was never willing to turn against them.

The king and the horse share the world.

Although it is no longer the era when the Sima family was in power as in the Jin Dynasty, the Wang family of Langya is still extremely powerful.

"Let's get started. This time, the topic is about who will make the decision on the next dynasty!"

Wang Xiang, with silver hair and fine clothes, was not friendly as in the story of lying on the ice to catch a carp. Instead, his every move was like that of a domineering boss, and he was very cold and aloof.

After saying this opening remark, he sat alone at the head of the table, with his eyes slightly lowered, not moving a muscle.

Apparently, the many people from the aristocratic families present were already very clear about the style of the ancestor of the Langya Wang family. After Wang Xiang closed his eyes, they quickly began to discuss it.

"Since the ancestor has said so, my Qinghe Cui family will take the lead. In this chaotic world, my Cui family has only one intention: the Great Sui should be destroyed, and the rest are fine."

"Oh my god, Lao Cui, what do you mean? Do you have such a big hatred towards Sui Yang family?"

"Humph, ask everyone present, which family has no conflicts or hatred with the Sui Yang family? The three generations of the Sui Yang family are not worthy of being sons."

"That's right. In the past, Yang Jian deceived us and established the Sui Dynasty. Later, he was trying to cut off our family's livelihood. Later, Yang Guang and Yang Zhao were also good people. Not to mention Yang Guang, Yang Zhao is a big threat now."

"Haha, threats, what can you do? They have four gates and one lock, you can't get in even if you beat them."

"I think Yang Zhao is actually quite humane. He is not mindless and wants to overthrow our family. It's just that after hundreds of years of accumulation, some of the aristocratic families, clans, and gentry are really a bit outrageous."

"No, how come you don't have any stance at all?"

"If you ask me, Wang Shichong in Luoyang is actually quite good. Although he is a descendant of a Hu slave, the key is that he is really obedient."

"What about the Li Clan? Does everyone support the Li Clan?"

"What can I say about the Li Clan? The three Lis united as one, which is a bit outrageous. If they are allowed to rule the country, haha, there might be a Sui Yang Clan..."

When there are too many people, it is difficult to reach a consensus.

The originally spacious and magnificent palace soon became noisy.

Yang Zhao, Wang Shichong, the Li clan, the Yuwen clan, and even rebel and bandit leaders such as Dou Jiande, Du Fuwei, and Zhai Rang were all mentioned by everyone present.

And just when the argument was becoming difficult to resolve.

The Qinghe Cui clan suddenly spoke up and asked, "What do you think of the Great Yuan Dynasty?"

The four words "Great Yuan Dynasty" stunned everyone present on the spot. Some people frowned and looked at the person from Qinghe Cui family with sharp eyes.

The people of the Qinghe Cui clan didn't care at all. They looked at each other with a slight frown and said, "Recently, a disciple of the Great Yuan Ruyang King had some contact with the descendants of the clan. He said that under the rule of the Great Yuan, everyone is the master of a place. After paying taxes, they can make their own laws in the territory..."

The territory of the Yuan Dynasty was too vast, and its plan for governing the world was somewhat similar to the feudal system of ancient times.

After listening to the words of the man from Qinghe Cui family.

There was a dead silence in the palace at first, and then someone suddenly spoke up and said, "No objection."
