Born a phoenix? The husband I picked up is the young emperor

Chapter 2000

"Our people just sneaked into the Six Gods Temple and checked the bodies inside." The guard kneeled on the ground and his Adam's apple rolled. "Report to the master, there are indeed four bodies in the temple, one man and three women."

The four great families were sweating profusely. One man and three women!

In the dead silence of the room, the guard of Guangnan Lin family suddenly kowtowed heavily, "Although, although the face is completely destroyed, but the gold and jade nails are undoubtedly the mistress's!"

The guards of the other two families were not familiar with the young lady who was kept in seclusion, so they did not dare to make any comments and kept silent. But when they were asked urgently, they had to tell the truth, "Those two bodies can be seen to be young."

The guards of the Guo family in Subei had tears in their eyes, "Our Third Young Master! The Third Young Master was tied up with ropes before he died. The marks on his wrists are still there, and he can't move."

"Beast!" The head of the Guo family kicked over the table and said, "This blood feud must be paid with blood."

The faces of the family heads were all dark. The problem was that they were the ones who personally ordered the activation of the Six Gods Temple's self-destruction device.

Everyone looked at the pale sky outside the window, and suddenly they felt that the candles in the room had turned into white flags to summon souls.

The heads of the families were all capable of doing great things. They quickly recovered from their grief and re-activated the available people. They found out that Emperor Zhaowu still believed that Tang was dead.

"It seems that the emperor wants to depose the emperor."

"Emperor Zhaowu has nowhere to go."

"Our family has already stood in open opposition to the Emperor, and we also have no other way to go."

Everyone was filled with sorrow. How did the four great families end up like this?

Inside the Qingshou Palace, the gilded beast furnace was emitting wisps of green smoke.

Emperor Xiao Yunde stayed awake all night, thinking and weighing the pros and cons.

The Guangnan Lin family, the Yunxi Gui family, the Subei Guo family, and the Huaidong Qin family are collectively known as the Four Great Families of the Northern Wing and are truly century-old prestigious families.

They were clearly once the foundation of the North Wing.

The noble family passed down the family tradition of poetry and etiquette, and the children of the family either became officials or took charge of the business world, and there were many talented people from generation to generation. Their profound heritage and solid foundation were far beyond the reach of ordinary dignitaries.

As for the four great families in the North Wing, Xiao Yunde never thought of deliberately reducing their rights.

However, the disciples of the clan educated by the aristocratic family are good at maintaining the status quo and are good at dealing with people. Although they have lost their recklessness, they have also inevitably lost some of their sharpness.

These people are well versed in pros and cons, and they think twice before doing anything. They are not like the upstarts from humble backgrounds who dare to take the lead and charge into battle.

The glory of a century-old family gave them vision and perspective, but it also became an invisible constraint.

The four great families eventually lost their gilded glory bit by bit in the surging waves of the North Wing.

It’s not that Xiao Yunde intended to destroy their foundation, but it’s the result of the children of the aristocratic family not being enterprising.

While many students were studying hard all night, the children of aristocratic families were enjoying flowers and drinking wine; while new scholars were busy with practical work, the nobles were still discussing poetry and appreciating paintings. The change of dynasties in the court is like a great wave washing away the sand, and the first to be washed away are always the rotten wood that clings to the old and the old.

It is time for the four great families to withdraw from the historical stage of the North Wing.
