"Everyone, take a look at this."
Changsun Wuji put a piece of paper with words on the table and handed it to the heads of the families. What was written on it was an excerpt from the imperial edict that was now posted at the city gate for public announcement.
"I, the Tang Emperor, Li Shimin……"
Everyone looked at the paper eagerly, but there was only one, so the person who got the paper read out what was on it.
"Immortal cultivation? Are there really immortals in the world? Also, is that flying boat outside the city really the work of the royal family?"
Everyone was shocked. They really couldn't understand why the immortal way, which had only been a legend for thousands of years, would appear in the Tang Dynasty, and what a coincidence that the force that obtained this so-called immortal cultivation method happened to be the current royal family.
"Is the news true?"
An old man looked a little strange and asked
"This is the edict of His Majesty, it is most likely true, but we have to wait for the spies in the palace to reply with the latest news."
Changsun Wuji did not question the authenticity of this edict too much. He believed that if Li Shimin had not been confident, he would never dare to be so high-profile.
You know, since these old-fashioned families were able to overthrow the Sui Dynasty, then overthrowing the Tang Dynasty would not be a problem.
"We can force him to abdicate! Make him hand it over!"
Suddenly, among the many old men, a middle-aged man in his forties slammed the table and said something outrageous.
"Okay, you Yang family make the first move, and we will follow suit!"
An old man immediately agreed, but it was obvious that he was prepared to wait and see.
"Haha!"
The 40-year-old head of the Yang family sneered twice, and then sat down directly. How could he not know the faces of these people? They clearly wanted to make the Yang family cannon fodder. If it succeeded, everyone would share the results. If Li Shimin really had the means, then only his Yang family would be finished.
Therefore, everyone present gradually fell silent with their own ulterior motives.
"I wonder what the uncle of the emperor has to say."
After a long silence, someone finally spoke up, but he was asking about Changsun Wuji, and his tone was quite sarcastic, emphasizing the word uncle of the emperor.
"I think we should continue to wait and see, and not take any action. Each family should keep a low profile."
Chang Sun Wuji spoke the truth. He did not want to stand out at this moment. After all, the flying boat outside the city was seen by many people. He was afraid that the royal family really controlled that unrivaled power.
"Haha, Uncle Changsun is good at doing things. After all, your family has the current queen."
Someone else was making sarcastic remarks, but Changsun Wuji was not angry. Instead, he was thinking about how to protect the Changsun family if the edict was true.
You know, as a close minister of Li Shimin, Changsun Wuji had long known that Li Shimin had the idea of resisting and suppressing the aristocratic families, but Li Shimin had never expressed it due to the actual situation.
"You can all go away first, it is better to wait and see for two days."
Chang Sun Wuji directly proposed to send the guests away. He did not want to get involved now.
"Humph, let's go!"
An old man stood up first and led the way out of the Changsun family. Not long after, everyone left one by one.
Now, all the people in the Guanlong Group family knew that from this moment on, they and Changsun Wuji had a gap.
After all, Changsun Wuji had a way out and the queen was there to protect him, but their family did not.
After everyone left, a middle-aged man walked in.
""Master, what should we do?"
The man who came was the housekeeper of the Changsun Mansion, who was considered Changsun Wuji's confidant.
"Continue to wait and see, and find out the news about the flying boat outside the city. If there are really immortals in the world, then I, Changsun Wuji, will accept it! But if not, haha!"
Changsun Wuji has already sorted out his mood, not as depressed as he was when he just heard the news, but Changsun Wuji did not realize that he was subconsciously resisting the current situation. He hoped that the description of this edict was false.
So far, including the Changsun family, the aristocratic circle of the entire Chang'an City has been turbulent. Those second generations who are usually arrogant and domineering have calmed down a lot after receiving the orders from their elders, but some families are different. They seem to be ecstatic. At this moment, several people gathered in Zuixianju, a restaurant secretly controlled by Li Tai.
Yuchi Gong:"Have you all seen the edict?"
Cheng Yaojin:"Bullshit, His Majesty has gone to the city gate."
Yuchi Gong:"Is our kid learning to cultivate immortals with the fourth prince?"
Du He:"Nine out of ten are true. Du He has never practiced martial arts, and now he is sent to the war.
Qin Qiong:"God bless our Tang Dynasty." Cheng
Yaojin:"Forget it, let's drink! Don't worry about it. We are not the ones who are worried now. It's a pity that we can't teach the little bastard a lesson in the future."
Yuchi Gong:"You only beat your son? Aren't you afraid that he will hurt you?"
Cheng Yaojin:"Yes, why didn't I think of it! Go and give birth to my son tonight!"
Everyone:"……"
……
At the same time, Li Tai, who was hundreds of miles away from Chang'an, had no idea that Chang'an was in complete chaos.
