Through countless dynasties, I can summon the heroes of Chinese history.

Chapter 112 Han Jun is denounced as a thief, and Han Jun stands in court.

That's why, even though he disliked his son Jiang Ce very much, he still had to send troops to support him.

By using Jiang Ce to eliminate the powerful families of Laizhou, we can avenge our defeat years ago, weaken their power, and also deplete Jiang Ce's strength in battle—a triple win.

"Granted!"

The Emperor said in a deep voice: "Issue my decree to appoint King Jiang Yue of Zhen as the Grand General for the Expedition against the Rebels. Also, mobilize 30,000 garrison troops from the capital region, 30,000 imperial guards, and 150,000 troops from Qingzhou. They shall set off immediately within half a month to rush to the aid of Laiyang!"

Jiang Ce, the Prince of Laiyang, will serve as his deputy, assisting him in suppressing the rebellion of the six powerful families of Laizhou. He is authorized to act expediently, executing first and reporting later!

Furthermore, an imperial edict was issued to the entire realm, detailing the four major crimes of the six prominent families of Laizhou: colluding with bandits, murdering relatives, embezzling military funds, and conspiring with the Eastern Yi people. All their privileges were to be stripped, and anyone who executed a member of the traitorous faction of these families would be rewarded according to their merit!

There were no obstacles in taking action against the Laizhou aristocratic family this time.

Even a powerful family like the Yuan family could only choose to remain silent, because if the Yuan family said anything in the Golden Hall, it was very likely that the emperor would become suspicious of them, affecting their status in the court.

As soon as the emperor issued his decree, all the civil and military officials in the golden hall shouted in unison, "Your Majesty is wise!"

Laizhou.

After the imperial decree was issued, it reached Laizhou in less than half a month via express courier, shattering the tranquility of Laizhou like a cold blade.

Inside a secret room in the Han family mansion.

The flickering candlelight illuminated the somber faces of the six powerful family heads, and the air was thick with tension and murderous intent.

Han Jun, the head of the Han family, was dressed in a black brocade robe, but he could not hide the ruthlessness in his eyes. He slammed the imperial edict onto the table, and the sound of the paper tearing was particularly jarring in the silence.

"As you all have seen, for some reason, that brat Jiang Ce has found evidence of our alliance with the Dongyi people. The emperor was already dissatisfied with our six great families, and now he has finally gotten his chance."

The Emperor has issued an edict stripping us of our titles and listing our crimes in detail. This is an attempt to wipe out our six great families!

The other five family heads had different expressions; some were anxious, while others hesitated.

They have been local tyrants in Laizhou for nearly a thousand years.

Especially three years ago, they deliberately caused trouble in the rear, causing the Cangming army to lose Laizhou, which freed them from any constraints, allowing them to rule the remaining four counties of Laizhou with peace of mind.

These good days didn't last long before they completely turned against the imperial court.

Although the six powerful families of Laizhou are strong, their combined strength is only equivalent to that of a high-ranking country. If they were to confront...

Even a state apparatus like the Seven Dynasties ultimately had its limitations.

But they also knew clearly in their hearts that even if they surrendered, the emperor and Jiang Ce would never accept it, after all, they had finally seized such an opportunity.

How could they possibly let go of an opportunity to completely eradicate the six great families of Laizhou?

Seeing that everyone was hesitant, Han Jun knew exactly what they were thinking, so he immediately changed his tone and became sinister.

"Fellow clan leaders, we now face only one path: rebellion!"

"opposite?"

These words immediately caused an uproar in the secret room.

Cao Hui, the head of the Cao family, suddenly stood up, looking shocked. "Han Jun, have you gone mad? The imperial court is already in the right. If we raise an army to rebel, wouldn't that be exactly what they want?"

Han Jun had anticipated everyone's reaction. He slowly rose, walked to the center of the secret chamber, glanced at the five family heads, and then sneered, "Do you all have other methods?"

"Don't forget, everyone. That brat Jiang Ce has a very high reputation in the army. Once he brings his army to the border, no one can guarantee that our border soldiers won't immediately turn against him."

"But if we rebel, things will be different. These people will become rebels. As long as we give them high positions and generous salaries, they will naturally still work for us."

Upon hearing Han Jun's words, everyone was speechless, because they had also considered this possibility.

Finally, after a unanimous discussion, everyone decided to raise the banner of rebellion. The Han family, the head of the six great families, established a kingdom in Anbang, Wendeng County, and named the kingdom Qi. The heads of the remaining five great families were each granted the title of Prince.

Although the Han family is the ruler of the Qi state, it is not a one-man show. Some things can only be carried out smoothly if the other five families agree.

Thus, after the six major families divided their interests, the very next day they announced that Han Jun, the head of the Han family, had ascended the throne and established the Qi dynasty, historically known as the Pseudo-Qi Empire.

[Ding dong, Han Jun has ascended the throne and become emperor, rewarding him with a permanent +1 to his basic five-dimensional attributes.]

Han Jun: Command 92, Martial Prowess 96, Intelligence 93, Politics 95, Charisma 90;

Well, as the head of the Han family, the most prominent of the six great families in Laizhou, Han Jun's attribute panel clearly shows that he is by no means an ordinary person, but rather an outstanding one.

With political attributes at the Heavenly level and intelligence and leadership attributes also being top-notch, such talent is extremely rare among family heads who control a prefecture, making him fully worthy of his status as the head of a family.

[Ding-dong, Han Jun's base five-dimensional attributes have been permanently increased by 1. His current five-dimensional attributes are: Command 93 (+1), Strength 97]

（+1），智力94（+1），政治96（+1），魅力91（+1）；】

Establishing a nation and formally founding a dynasty is not just a formality. As long as the newly established dynasty meets the system's standards in terms of territory, military power, and other dimensions, it can trigger generous attribute rewards. This is an advancement shortcut that ordinary forces cannot reach.

However, not everyone is favored by this rule. For example, those who are born with the "destiny of an emperor" have their core skills enhanced by the emperor's power from the moment they become kings or emperors.

The rewards for establishing a nation and a dynasty have long been overshadowed by the effects inherent in their destiny, so there are naturally no additional benefits.

These kinds of people are born to be supreme rulers, and can even be called "emperors among emperors".

After all, throughout history, only a few great rulers who have gone down in history have awakened this kind of exclusive imperial skill.

As for those born with the destiny of an emperor, they undoubtedly belong to this category.

As for Jiang Ce, he is an imperial star forged through hardship. Regardless of the process, they are all now in this category, destined to rule the world from birth, and are undisputed emperors.

As for Han Jun's sons and the heads of those aristocratic families, although they were all appointed as kings by him, perhaps because their rank was not high enough, or perhaps for other reasons, they did not receive a permanent boost.

It's fair to say that the lockdown was in vain.
