An aristocratic family, with family as its foundation and blood ties as its ties, has been inexhaustible for thousands of years.

This type of power began to take shape in the Han Dynasty and reached its peak during the Tang Dynasty.

However, precisely because it reached its peak, the family's power was feared by the imperial court, and it was continuously weakened by the imperial court thereafter.

By the time of the Song Dynasty, although the aristocratic family still existed, it was far less powerful than it was during the Tang Dynasty.

At the time that Li Shimin was living in, because the world was first settled and the monarch's control over the local area had not yet been restored due to the war, it was the time when the aristocratic families were at their most tyrannical.

People often say that imperial power does not go to the countryside, but in this era, it can even be said that imperial power does not go to the city!

Especially in the city where Qiwang of the Five Surnames is located, to put it bluntly, they don't have the words to carry out the imperial edict.

In this world of high martial arts, strength is the strongest foundation of power. Most of the sacred objects in China are controlled by various aristocratic families.

Although holy objects may be strong or weak, even the weakest holy object can at least increase a person's power by 30%.

Of course, even though they have holy objects in hand, the top experts from these aristocratic families are still not as good as the people of Datang.

Otherwise, it would not be Li Shimin who became emperor, but someone else.

The power limit set by this world for human beings is not so easy to reach. Even though Li Shimin, Qin Qiong and four others have already reached this level, that is actually because they were influenced by luck.

With the help of others, we can successfully reach this state.

None of the others, even the outstanding geniuses cultivated by the Five Surnames and Qiwang who spent a lot of resources, can reach the limit of human beings.

Not to mention the four of them, Li Shimin, even Cheng Yaojin, who went to any of the five surnames and Qiwang, could sweep through the clan with his personal force.

If you want to deal with him, Qiwang of the fifth surname must ask for the sacred objects enshrined in the family.

Some people may say that since they are not strong enough and must bring out the holy objects to fight, then they might as well just bring out the holy objects!

But the reason why holy objects must be enshrined by people is because in order to exert the power of holy objects, people must continue to worship them.

Every time you bring out a holy object to fight, you need to consume the power of worship that you have accumulated in daily life, so no matter what level of holy object you are, you cannot fight for a long time.

Moreover, Li Shimin's family is also one of the Five Surnames and Seven Hopes. The family enshrines a sword called 'Seven Stars Long Yuan'. Although it is not the top holy object, because it is an offensive type, it brings a considerable increase in combat effectiveness.

big.

This holy object, combined with the ultimate human strength, can defeat even a semi-saint.

In this way, with the addition of Qin Qiong, Yuchi Gong, and Li Jing, the three most powerful human beings, as well as Cheng Yaojin, Changsun Wuji and many other existences that have not reached the human limit but are equally powerful, we can suppress the various warlords and suppress them.

Live in the five surnames and seven looks, and win the position of the master of the world.

Having said that, the five surnames and Qi Wang looked over there, and they didn't like to see Li Shimin very much.

In addition, after taking the throne, Li Shimin also gradually realized the influence of the Five Surnames and Qiwang on the world and his own rights. Therefore, in recent decades, he has intentionally or unintentionally weakened the power of the Five Surnames and Qiwang, making the relationship between the two parties not very good.

That's why I was so upset when I heard that holy objects were needed to deal with the giant witch Taiken.

But after hearing Changsun Wuji's reminder, Li Shimin suddenly came to his senses.

There is no need to worry about this at all!

It is true that he has been constantly weakening the influence of Wu Xing Qi Wang, but also taking into account the power of Wu Xing Qi Wang, he has been cutting the flesh with a soft knife over the years, slowly and slowly.

Sometimes, they even suffer some losses and let Wu Xing Qi Wang take advantage.

The two sides were fighting in secret.

But if the ruler is replaced by the First Emperor Ying Zheng.

Haha, let alone a secret confrontation, directly encircle and suppress the army, and be tough in the open!

And in terms of strength, Da Qin's side is stronger.

The giant witch Taiken, the first emperor Ying Zheng, and the god of war Wang Jian are three powerful men who transcend the limits of human beings.

The strength of the emperors and ministers of the Tang Dynasty can overwhelm the five surnames and Qi Wang, but facing these three powerful men, I am afraid that if they swarm up, they can only deal with one and a half.

If they fall and only the Five Surnames and Seven Hopes are left, they will definitely lose.

Therefore, the best choice for the Five Surnames and Qiwang is to support them, work together to eliminate the forces of Da Qin, and then slowly play with each other.

If you don't cooperate, both parties will die, there is no other possibility!

Therefore, the top priority right now is to invite all the heads of the five surnames, Qi Wang, and other aristocratic families who own sacred objects to Chang'an.

Let them all clearly see the situation in Xianyang City, and let them understand the dangers facing the world at this moment.

Otherwise, people would not believe it just based on what they said, and they might even suspect that Li Shimin was planning it.

Li Shimin immediately issued an order and even asked his strong men to take action without riding a horse and just flew over.

Looking back, Li Shimin looked at Zhou Ming and said, "Taoist Master Qingfeng, do you think this is good?"

"This method is very wonderful."

Zhou Ming nodded.

"Does the Taoist priest have any other ideas?"

Zhou Mingdao: "The so-called masters are among the people. Faced with such a crisis, your Majesty might as well issue a recruitment list and invite those masters hidden among the people to deal with this matter together."

"Folk master?"

Li Shimin doesn't really believe it's useful.

Because the enemies we faced this time were too high-end, three enemies who surpassed human limits and reached the holy level.

This is so powerful.

There may be experts in the private sector, but it is basically impossible for them to get involved in this matter.

Think about it, even at the extreme level of human beings, one must rely on strong luck to succeed in cultivation.

Even among the five surnames and Qiwang, they could not find anyone with comparable strength to Cheng Yaojin.

What kind of powerful qualifications do ordinary people need to have the strength to participate in this matter?

But when he thought about it again, he felt that he seemed to be a bit over the top.

What they faced was not three masters, but a huge force with three holy beings as its core. In addition to the three holy beings, there were many masters and more than 100,000 terracotta warriors and horses.

The private masters recruited may not be able to participate in the top battles, but they can also deal with the strong ones below.

If it really doesn't work, it won't be a problem to hit a few terracotta warriors and horses.

Zhou Ming actually never thought that there would be any masters among the people. The main reason why he asked Li Shimin to do this was to find other reincarnations.

It’s not that we need their help, but that we need them not to help.

A group of reincarnators with different ideas may end up cheating each other even if they have the same goal.

Recruiting them all over and following your command will naturally prevent this situation from happening.

In addition, other reincarnations are indeed powerful and can help him.

But Zhou Ming did not explain these reasons clearly to Li Shimin.

On the one hand it's not clear, on the other hand it's because it's not needed.

Li Shimin, and even the entire Tang Dynasty, only needed to obey his orders and assist him in this operation.

I just had a fight with Li Shimin and the others, but it was only a brief confrontation to get a general understanding.

Moreover, when people from the Fifth Surname Qiwang and other aristocratic families arrive later, I am afraid they will also have objections to his command authority.

"At that time, let's put in a bigger one."

Zhou Ming thought.

"I will immediately order a recruitment list."

Li Shimin said: "Does the Taoist Master have anything else to say?"

Zhou Mingdao: "No. Please also ask Your Majesty to arrange a residence for Pindao. Before the matter is resolved, Pindao still needs to settle here."

"Of course, I am in the palace, clearing out a palace for the Taoist priest."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Zhou Ming saluted, and then said, "Until the holy object arrives, I would also like to ask Your Majesty not to send anyone to Xianyang City for the time being, so as not to arouse suspicion."

Li Shimin said: "This is natural."

Last time I did a simple test, but the enemy was too strong and it frightened him all of a sudden.

I haven't dared to take any action these days.

Although everyone knew in their hearts that the other side had not made any moves in the past few days, so something must be holding them back.

If you give them time to solve the problem, the situation will be very bad.

But Li Shimin had no choice, because they needed more time than those resurrected on the other side of the Weishui River.

If the enemy is strong and we are weak, then a sneak attack that takes advantage of others' danger will directly evolve into a surprise attack after the sneak attack, and ultimately harm yourself.

Even without Zhou Ming's reminder, he would not do such a stupid thing.

After saying this last sentence, Zhou Ming didn't stay here any longer and turned around to leave. Li Shimin immediately sent someone to follow him.

After he left, everyone gathered together, their eyes slightly falling on Li Shimin's face, trying to read his emotions.
