"It's raining."
On Mount Li, the three of them were like ants on a hot pan, anxiously pacing around.
When drizzle fell from the sky and the soldiers outside shouted that it was raining, Old Cunning, Old Foolish Yuchi, and Old Qin all ran out of the tent.
"It's really raining."
The three of them used their hands to catch the raindrops falling from the sky. They were extremely excited and roared angrily.
The cunning old man ran down Mount Li. As he ran, he shouted," It's raining! It's raining!"
It was as if he had gone crazy.
Old Yuchi foolishly took off his robe and swung his bare upper body in the rain.
Old Qin couldn't help but laugh out loud, his voice soaring into the sky.
The soldiers cheered in the rain.
This was a timely rain for them.
Qin Mo was hiding in the barracks, drinking tea and watching the old fellows perform outside. God knew how much pressure they had endured these days.
Now, the pressure that was like a mountain on his head had disappeared.
It was time for them to counterattack.
The spring rain was as precious as oil, and the autumn rain was not inferior.
In Chang 'an, the people were also cheering. They ran out of their homes and called their friends to share their joy.
"The heavens bless the Great Tang."
"God bless His Majesty."
The commoners were innocent and easily incited by others, but this rain had dispelled all the rumors.
Didn't the aristocratic families say that the drought was His Majesty's loss of virtue? Now that His Majesty had gone to pray for rain, it really rained. This meant that the heavens were protecting His Majesty.
If that was the case, then the aristocratic families were wrong.
Therefore, they were despised by the common people.
Li Main Hall.
When the palace servants reported that it was raining, Li Er ran outside. He did the same thing as the old cunning fellow and the others, running in the rain.
Empress Zhangsun stood at the door and watched him dance. She only smiled and did not try to dissuade him.
She knew that Li Er had been under tremendous pressure these days.
The rain gradually became heavier, and Li Er returned to Li Zheng Hall.
After changing his clothes and drying his hair, he spoke to Empress Zhangsun with a shocked expression.
On the white paper on the table was written two words-" Science."
He threw down his pen, his face still filled with shock." I didn't expect Qin Mo to be able to make the sky rain. The path of science can actually control the weather. It's really terrifying.”
Empress Zhangsun nodded." I didn't expect science to be so powerful. In this way, all the crises will be easily solved.”
If one did not see it with their own eyes, who would dare to believe that humans could control the weather and make the heavens rain? They would probably think that it was a heresy to confuse the public.
Li Er's face was as dark as water. He gritted his teeth and said," Aristocratic family!”
The fate of the aristocratic families had been decided the moment the rain fell. Their plans were easily torn apart by the rain.
Cui family.
Cui Min Gan and the others were drinking and celebrating their victory.
However, their joy was quickly washed away by the rain.
"God, are you blind? Why are you so attached to Li Shiming?”Cui Mingan ran in the rain, letting out a hoarse roar.
Calling the king by his name and slandering the heavens were all great crimes, but now no one could stop him.
The faces of the five surnames and seven Wangs were ashen. All their plans seemed so laughable in front of this rain.
Didn't Li Chunfeng say that there wouldn't be any rain in a month?
Why was it raining so heavily?
Why was the sun hanging in the sky and it raining?
......
It was useless.
Any excuse would be futile. Their fate had long been decided.
If you try your best to fight, you will be able to enjoy wealth and honor forever. If he lost, he would be beheaded.
Slandering the king was a serious crime.
Even if Li Er wanted to let them go, the Guanlong Group, led by the old man, would not let them go.
But would Li Er let them go? That was naturally impossible.
After going crazy for a while, Cui Min came back, drenched in rain.
He cupped his fists at Lu Wang and the others." I'm sorry for making a fool of myself.”
After changing their clothes, everyone returned to the table. Looking at the delicacies in front of them, they had no appetite at all.
Cui Mingan raised his wine cup." Everyone, drink this cup to your heart's content. It's a good companion on the road to the netherworld."”
He looked as if he was facing death calmly.
Lu Wang sighed." One wrong move and the whole game is lost.”
The rest of the people were ashen.
.......
In the first year of Zhenguan, on the second day of August, the court met.
The voice of the eunuch spy from the Yellow Gate rang out." Report if you have something to say. If not, withdraw from court."”
As soon as he finished speaking.
Just as the old cunning fellow was about to step out, Wang Gui came out." We have slandered Your Majesty. Your Majesty, please punish us."”
"We have slandered Your Majesty, please punish us.”
A few days ago, the officials who had pleaded with Li Er to issue an edict to kill the old man and the others all stepped out and knelt on the ground.
They knew that Li Er would not let them off, so they came out themselves. Perhaps they could win Li Er's compassion and reduce the suppression on their families.
Li Er said," Wei Zheng, what is the punishment for slandering the emperor?”
Wei Zheng stepped forward." Reporting to Your Majesty, slandering the Emperor is a crime of great disrespect. According to the law, he should be beheaded.”
The officials of the imperial court watched coldly from the side. No one pleaded for mercy. They were courting death and could not blame anyone.
Li Er said expressionlessly," He will be beheaded in the East City and his corpse will be exposed for three days."”
This was not the time to show his mercy. Otherwise, anyone would dare to challenge the Emperor's authority.
In this way, the power of the Five Families and Seven Wangs above the imperial court would be swept away.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Cui Mingan and the others stood up and walked out with their heads held high. At this time, they were afraid of death and would ruin the reputation of the aristocratic families.
When he passed by the sly old man, he sneered." I will personally dig out your foundation.”
Life and death could be ignored, but the interests of the family could not be abandoned.
What they did was to maintain the authority of the family. If the family was really destroyed by the old man, even if the underworld knew, they would not die in peace.
Slandering the emperor was disrespectful, but it was not treason. The crime did not extend to the family. Cui Mingan and the others gave instructions for the funeral and let the family members lie low until the time was right.
The so-called timing was when an emperor changed.
With their family's foundation, it might not be impossible for them to rise again.
However, Zhangsun Wuji's words were about to destroy the aristocratic families. How could they not be afraid and furious?
"Zhangsun Wuji, you will die a horrible death.”
The people from the aristocratic families all cursed angrily. Some of them rushed towards the old cunning fellow and attacked him.
The old man was indifferent.
"Take him away." Li Er ordered in annoyance.
The court guards grabbed them and dragged them out.
"Zhangsun Wuji, you will die a horrible death.”
At 3:45 pm, 38 officials of the aristocratic families were beheaded in the East City. Blood flowed like a river.
This was the death of the aristocratic families, the beginning of their decline.
On this day, the Great Tang embarked on a new path, a path that Qin Mo had planned.
On this day, Qin Mo didn't go to the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Instead, he sat in a recliner under a tree in Qin Manor. When the news of the beheading of the aristocratic family officials came, Qin Mo sighed.
The general trend was that those who went against it would die. The aristocratic families should not stand in his way of improving the nation.
Be it aristocratic families, dignitaries, or Li Er.
No one could stand in his way. This was the path to eternal greatness for this nation. Those who stood in his way would die.
Of course, his strength was still weak now. He needed to hide in the dark and accumulate strength. One day, he would have enough strength to crush all opponents.
