Chapter 87

As a result, Yang Wei didn't continue to talk about it, but Mo Zizai also knew what happened. Tang Shuyu was buried, and Mo Zizai's father also died of an old attack.

The reform trio composed of the emperor disappeared before he could even take action. Even the emperor himself was gone, leaving only a dark line of old age.

Mo Zizai thought silently for a long time before asking, "Old Yang, have you ever thought that those aristocratic families had actually noticed your intentions when my father abolished the lowly family."

"Although they did not say anything, they had already prepared to resist in secret, and even planned to murder Uncle Tang for a long time."

After hearing Mo Zizai say this, Yang Weishang looked at Mo Zizai with a surprised look for the first time, as if he had known Mo Zizai for the first time, "It seems that we have underestimated the prince before."

"You are right. They have indeed planned for a long time. This is also the conclusion I came to after something happened. "

"General Tang took the elite army route. At that time, his 100,000 troops were all elite soldiers. With these 70,000 elite soldiers alone, General Tang could penetrate the Jiangnan family. Those aristocratic families did not dare to resist openly."

"That's why they secretly designed General Tang. Once he died, the crisis of the aristocratic family would be completely solved."

Hearing this, Mo Zizai nodded slightly. The 70,000 elite troops in Tang Shuyu's hands were indeed scary, but what was even more scary was his seven thousand phoenix guards.

Most of the seven thousand phoenix guards were warriors. After being surrounded by Tang Shuyu, they followed Tang Shuyu and killed more than five times the enemy before being wiped out by the other side.

Being trapped in a heavy siege, fighting more with less, and killing more than five times the enemy, such an army is rare even in this world.

However, the army under Tang Shuyu was strong, and the Jiangnan family was not all useless. Tang Shuyu really wanted to rush his army south. Even if he could penetrate the Jiangnan family, there would probably not be much left in his hands.

Moreover, in that case, the final result was only a Jiangnan that was beaten and full of holes. This was obviously something that Mo Zizai's father didn't want to see.

That's why he adopted the reform method to erode the aristocratic families bit by bit. It's a pity that he failed.

After the Three Kingdoms coalition forces ambushed Tang Shuyu, they designed to eat the 70,000 elite troops without a leader based on the news that Tang Shuyu was surrounded. At this point, the elite troops in the East Realm were wiped out. Not to mention shocking the aristocratic families, they could not even defend the defense line of the East Realm, and several cities were lost in a row.

"It is worthy of being a thousand-year-old family, and it is indeed very difficult to deal with."

Mo Zizai sighed slightly. None of these aristocratic families that could be passed down from generation to generation. Not only did they extend their tentacles throughout the Great Zhou Dynasty, but they were also extremely sensitive to crises. Once there was any disturbance, they would immediately notice it.

Not to mention that Tang Shuyu was plotted by them, even if he was not plotted, it would be difficult to completely get rid of all the aristocratic families.

To deal with aristocratic families, either rely on generations of efforts or the strength of absolute suppression can be achieved, forcibly clear them in a short period of time, and then cut off their survival soil.

Of course, if the old aristocratic families are eliminated, new "aristocratic families" will surely emerge. The class problem is an eternal problem, but Mo Zizai did not want to solve this problem. What he thought was to destroy the existing aristocratic families and let the people live a good life for hundreds of years.

As for the later period, he was already 80% dead, so he could still care about so much that he could just give his future generations a headache.

"Officials colluded with local forces, and they were inextricably linked, and they were all affected."

Yang Weishang said this, glanced at Mo Zizai and said with a meaningful meaning: "If you are not sure, don't act rashly."

Originally, Yang Weishang didn't care. In his opinion, although Mo Zizai's return this time, although he would have a temper, it didn't matter. Just let him be a mascot in the palace honestly, and it would not affect the overall situation.

Unexpectedly, Mo Zizai seemed to have become a different person when he came back. As soon as he came back, he directly killed more than 20 officials from the Ministry of Justice.

I thought he could calm down for a while after killing so many people, but in a few days, the Zuo Du Censor was confiscated and imprisoned. It seemed that he could not escape death.

As a result, Yang Weishang was a little unable to sit still. If Mo Zizai continued to kill like this, he would have to kill something, so he had to invite Mo Zizai over and want to talk openly.

Mo Zizai heard Yang Weishang’s implicit meaning was to blame himself for killing the ministers. He laughed dismissively, and then asked back: “Ge Lao Yang, with the current situation, the court has no soldiers, no money, and no food. Do you think even if I don’t take action, how many years can the Great Zhou last?"

"With Your Majesty's current diligence and my secret assistance, there should be no problems within three years, as for three years..."

Yang Weishang was a little sad. Disasters in the Great Zhou are now occurring frequently. Even with his ability, he cannot guarantee what will happen in three years.

"Three years?"

Mo Zizai looked at Yang Weishang sideways. When the Great Zhou was in such a storm, he could still say that the Great Zhou lasted for three years. This made him sigh, "Without the national treasury, can the Grand Zhou last for three years?"

"There is a way to support money and a way to support money without money."

Yang Wei didn't look at himself, but just sighed slightly, "Whether it is the way to be an official or a king, it is nothing more than balance. Now the Great Zhou is in danger. We don't want the Great Zhou to be destroyed, and those aristocratic families are also unwilling to see it."

"So, as long as Your Majesty is willing to compromise and give up some of the power, and even if the people are suffering, the Great Zhou can still barely maintain it."

"Ha~ I suffer the people, and the elders also come from the people. Are you willing to be suffering?"

Mo Zizai sneered and shook his head without hesitation and said, "What's more, I don't like compromise, nor do I like balance, and I don't want to suffer the people. In my opinion, it's better to suffer the officials and families than to suffer the people."

"After all, they can survive if they suffer. If the people suffer, they will die."

"Is this the reason why the prince killed those ministers?"

Looking at Mo Zizai who was full of energy, Yang Wei did not agree, but just asked: "Have you ever thought that doing so will intensify the conflict?"

"The officials who were beheaded by the prince are all supported by the clans of aristocratic families. Now that the prince has killed them, do you think what will they react?"

Most of the officials who were killed by Mo Zizai in the court were above the sixth rank. Even if officials of this level did nothing, they could bring a lot of benefits to the aristocratic clans behind him. Now that they were killed so easily by Mo Zizai, how could they not react?

"Reaction, what can you react."
